MUSEUM AND LIBRARY OF PATENTS. Earl POWIS asked whether government intended in the present year to take soy step for the establishment of • proper museum and library of patents. Earl GRANVILLE said then could be no doubt that the present accommodation was insufficient. There was a space of eleven acres contigurew to the Kensington Museum, on a F.F.tioo of which he hoped a measure for patents would before long be erected. The subject was one of consider able importance, and he entirely agreed in the desirability of,the object which the noble lord had in view. CLERKS OF THE PEACE. The Earl of ROMNEY said he wished to call the atten tion of the government to the state of the law with regard to the removal of clerks of the peace from their office, and ho ask whether her Majesty's government would consider the subject with the view of amending the law in that re spect. It was the duty of a clerk of the peace to make out jury lim a , an d als o lista of persons claiming to appear on the register of voters. He held his office for life, during good behaviour, and he was removable by the justifies in sissirins for misconduct in his office. In some eases it had beau said that he might be removed if he bad been guilty of any disgraceful offence, bat generally it was for saisoooduct in his office alone that be was removed. Thane allows were often solicitors, sad might in that capacity act as treeless, yet if a clerk of the peace rendered himself liable to a prosecution under the Fraudulent Trustees Act, the injured parties might not be induced to proceed against him, from • belief that there would be more chance of getting hack their money ii he were not removed from his office. When persons in humble life were committed to prison for stealing sums of two or three shillings from their employers, he thought it was a scandal to the law that any one holding this office should not be made amenable for the offeoces of a much more serious nature of which be bad been guilty. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the complaint of the noble earl was very well founded, but the subject was a difficult one to be dealt with by the legislature. The noble lord's statement of the law was quite oorrect. A clerk of the peace held his office quamdiu se bens geeserit, but the power of the justices to remove him was limited to his nide :meaning himself in the exeentioo of his office. His whole life, therefore, might be the subject of reproach, sad bring disgrace on the administration of justice, and yet he could sot be removed. The matter was one of considerable diffi culty, but he would consult the Secretary of State for the Home Department in reference to it, and see whether any alteration of the law could be made to remove the evil. Lord CRAN WORTH suggested that a solution of the difficulty might be found by giving the Lord Chancellor power to remove a clerk of the peace from his office in eart,iu cases, upon receiving a requisition from the court of quarter sessions. Their lordships adjourned at tan minutia' to six o'clock. ROUSE OF COMMONS..--TEITTESDAY, FRE. 18. The SPLAY= took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER.

The Glasgow and North British Railway Bill was read a second time. The Great Esatern Northern Junction Railway Bill ,was seed a second time. The Isle of Wight Ferry Bill was also read a 'mooed time. BIGILWAY ACT. Mr. R. LONG asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he inteadad to introduce a bill for amending I ISO Highway Act this session ; and, If so, how emu it would he laid upon the table of the hones. Sir G. GREY said that several amendments had been under the consideration of the government, and memorials were still being received oa the subject ' • it was impossible to bring in • bill until all these proposals had been fully coisidered ; but when brought in it would not go farther than to sassed certain details in the existing act. TARIFF BETWEEN AUSTRIA. AND THE ZOLLVEREIN. Mr. S. BEAUMONT asked the President of the Board of Trade for the production of the project of a tariff between Austria and the Zollverein which was o ffi cially published at Vienna in November, 143. Mr. HUTT (to the absence of Mr. M. Gibs..) said that the project had not yet been received by the governmeat, bat that when received, it should be produced. BRITISH SHIPS AND AMERICAN CRUISERS. Mr. H. BAILLIE asked the Attorney-General whether be was of opinion that when an English merchant vessel was captured by an American ship of war in the harbour of a neutral state, it was the duty of the government to wait for the action and decision of • ' court before reparation and satisfaction were demanded from the American govern ment ; and, if so, whether the government would also have to wait for the action of a pries court if an English vessel should be taken out as a prim from an English harbour; and, whether the capture of the British vessel the Senn; by ship of war in the Mexican harbour of i oros was not a violation of international law, and a direct act of hostility against Eagle:id? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The question of my hoe friend relates, first, to • principle, and secondly to an assumed fact. With regard to the principle there can be no difficulty whatever. I certainly think that if the event ever happened of en Eoolish merchant vessel being admitted to have been captured by an American ship of war in the harbour of a neutral state, it would not be the duty of her Majesty's government to wait for the action and decision of • prise court before demanding reparation and metafiction. Of that then can be no question neither should we hold ourselves bound by the decision o f the prise court. There fore the other Mooch of the question falls to the ground, berme if that principle applies to the harbour of a neutral state, f. fortiori it will apply to the case of a British harbour. The question about the ship &nom assumes a controverted matter of fact. It ts not admitted by the American government—indeed there has been so time to remove the answer of the American govern/nest to our meresentatioes—it is sot admitted to be the fact that the ship Science was captured in Mexican waters. As regards the harbour of !Unmans, there is oo such thing. The ship was taken in a river, and whilst on the one hand it is asserted by the officia ls of the ship that she was in Mexican waters, the contrary proposition was stated by the captors. Under these circumstances the ealy course open to us at preemie is to represent the matter to the American meet and wait for its reply. But I may state f ir o o r ve z satirisation of the honourable gentleman and of the house. that although there are, in the instructions given by the government of the United States to their 'raisers at Matamoros, some provisions to which some ex emotion may justly be taken, nothing can be mom distinct sad clear in the instructions on this point than that so neutral shire are to be taken in Mexican waters • and that, if taken, they are to be restored. The instructiens go even further, to say that if by reasoa of currents or other air. eximst3ooll. neutral vessels were drive° beyond the limits of Mar kali waters, they are still to be treated as within the mend waters of Mexican territory. If, therefore, the United States cruisers have taken any of our ves sels in Mexican waters, the detention of those versals is most clearly and distinctly an infraction of the iostrurtimui laid down by the United States govern. neat ; sad if so, I do not doubt that the United States go vernment would coder the immediate restoration of such vessels. (Cheers.) CASE OF THE REV. DR. PAYNE. Mr. CYN FILL asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's government had taken any steps to obtain comp/exotica for loons sustained by the Reversed Dr. Payne, in esiamquerice of as assault wiside opus him by a Greek soldier is April, 1862 ; and if wet, whether it was intended to take any steps for that KrKr L.IYARD raid that Dr. Payee was assaulted by a (Week soldier and robbed to an inconsiderable amount — about rif e ; the soldier was tried aid ccAdensoed to •year's imprisonment. Dr. Payne w informed of this fact in June lint year, and since then solids( has been heard from him at the Foreign-office ; and under the impressive that be was sainted with the amount of punishment of the soldier, be (Mr. Layard) had thought that the punishment was Buf faloes, and that it was not desirable to apply for any pecu niary compassation. Meer, hear.) LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT OF 1838. Mr. ROGER.S asked the Secretary of State for the Hams Department if, after a county had then divided isle high way districts under the act of 1162, facilities would be afforded to rural raisins, where the population according to the last comas was more than three thousand, and sash perishes desired to withdraw from such districta by adopt am the Loral Governmeot Aot of ISIS, Sir G. GREY maid that it would be very undesirable that when rural parishes were once included in highway districts, they should have (milder for withdrawing themselves from those districts by adopting the Local Government Act. If, therefore the boa. gentleman anterained any appre hension that:any such facilities would be afforded by the bill about to be submitted by the government, be begged to ensure hire that oothieg of the kind was iateaded. No facilities greater that those which had existed already would be afforded to thermal parishes for this purpose. QUEEN'S COLLEGE, CORK.

Lord HOUGHTON presented a petition agreed to at a robe meeting in Manchester in favour of strict neutrality the Daniels question. The noble lord ,said the petition tae to he regarded as of some importsece emanating, as it did, from the centre of commercial activity. The Marquis of CLLNIIICLILDI gave notice that be will, ea 'Tuesday next, ask the government whether their rates ties has been called to the recruiting going on in Ireland for the Cnited States, and whether government have taken any stops to prevent it. Sir IL PEEL said that the report of the President of tbe Qnsee's Oollep. Cork, wee presoaked yesterday, and wee yesterday laid upon the table. As regarded the whole ose respondence which had taken plans between the hi & go vernment. Dr. Belies, and Sir B. Kass, there wee some other oorrespooderios sot by Sir B. Kane, but between the inspector-general of the sendsihnlery end Dr. Bolles, and there would be no objection, as far aa he (Sir B. Peel) war oonoerned, to lay the oorrespoodence before the house. Lord NAAS asked whether it was the fact that the oror respondence had appeared in the newspapers before it was presented to the boom. Sir R. PEEL said it was not publiahad in the eserspepeTe with the 00001111112011 of the Irish goversaseet, bat he was sorry to say it had appeared before it iris laid on the bible. Ye; 0.

He believed that the of the government would eventually artily both proposals of Western Australia sad of the Australith colorise generally. Sir J.

Mr. NEWDEGATE denounced the prodezeitioa by the eolonies of Australia of soother Monroedoctrine, and the denial to her Majesty's government of the right to select on the whole of that enormous continent atingle spot on which to found a penal settlement. Justice aid charity began at home, and if we undertook to protect the oolooke from ftreign eareseica we ought in return to have a sphere to which we wild remit a portion of our criminal population. Mr. WALPOLE could not agree that the plan marked oat by Mr. Adderley would be preferable to the scheme proposed by the government He thought that, without haring convicts put under the direst espiorrage of the police, there was no reason why the should not be required —whilst they held a ooaditiooal • report them selves to the police when they changed the place of their reeidemos. The system of our convict discipline was sound and right in itself, sod he believed that it would be greatly improved by the hasps proposed by the government So thinking, he for one gave his cordial approbation to the bill to the iatroduction of which the house wee now Naked to assent. 8i; a. GREY, ie reply, said hewas gratified It the manner in which the subject had been disarmed, and in the oon carroom of boa gentlemen in the prinmpla of the bill. He admitted that supervision was the most difficult part of the whole subject. It woe oot that polio. riporvision which the commissioners resommended, bat rather a supervision similar to that which was exercised in Dublin.

The plaintiffs in this ense were a company established at atGouda, in Holland, for the manufacture of candles, and the defeodants, who wereoommission merchants in Friday-street, had scream agents for the company. In the summer of 1863 a outran ass entered into to supply two parcels. of 1,250 buss of candles each, to a Mr. Sided ; and one parcel was deli vered on board a ship which sailed for Australia, but Mr. Sichel objected to receive the candles in consequence of an objection aa to quality. The present action was against the defendants to recover the Talus of the candles. and also some expenses from the defendants, upon the ground that they were instructed to receive the cesh before they deli vered the goads ; but, on the other bud, it wan said that by the terms of the oontract which the plaintiffs had entered into, the defendants ware bound to deliver the candles " free on board an export ship."

VESTRY CESS ABOLITION (IRELAND) BILL The above bill was read • mond time, sad ordered to be committed on Thursday next. PENAL SERVITUDE ACTS AMENDMENT BILL Sir G. GREY moved for leave to brig la a bill to &mead the pima' servitude acts, stating that it was founded on the report of the conlMilliaoll which sat as the subject Lit year. It wu established 19 .d e report that, notwithstanding the (urea= of crime in and Ireland of late years, in the aggregete there bees a great decrease of mime in the lain 21 yen. In the opinion of the oromieutoo the imprearion that the penal system wee, so far from deter. rent, attractive, wee wholly erroneous, and any augments. tion of the punishment of primers ender penal senitede was not advisable. The reoonnuemdatkes of the conuninice applied firstly to adinimietsulive deteds which required no alteration of the law, and neat to such chuges in the t= involved an:eadment of the law. With regard to as t, steps had bees taken to being the improvements suggested into operation. The provolone of the bill would be shortly these lat. That the mums sentence of penal servitude should be for five yam ; bed. not commie. lieu of aa indictable =fame should, ipso fed*, work the revocation of the &woe ; 3rd. That when • bows was forfeited by • second conviction, the whole reenainisig period of the original sentence should be aadergoom before the new senteoce hew to ran ; 4th That all breaches of the traditions of th e license shod be cognisable by two magi& tastes ; and that if • perm were suspected of a breach of his license he might be apprehended and taken before the magistrates, who might seinen= him to • punishment of greater or Isom duration, far it was possible that a person might be guilty of Meooaduct for which he might properly be o • mouth or six weeks' imprisonment, bet for which it would be too severe a penalty to remand him to undergo the remainder of • sentence ei penal servitode, ex- Leading perhaps over fin or six ram La all much cuss, however, the °Deviations sad the evidence would be mat to the Home Secretary, and it would be in his discretion to re voke or seamed e Boma. There wee as. other recom mendation of the ommiesiosen to which be would refer. They slummed a =Bong oopiqnnitoonn that ia our of Umber. dinatne the immediate ingicLoa of corporal punishmeet might be Winery. Owing, however, to there being bet three direetoes, • longer interval time desirable might elapse before one could attend. They recommended, them fore, that certain local magistrates should be authorised in stub mare to act as diluters. As there were now four directors, it was not thought so necemary that this recommendation should be adopted. but as the proposal was only a permissive one; be had con sidered that it would be u well to embody it in the bilL It would only give to the Seemeary of Slate power, underoertain restrictime, to Mae the proposed authorisation to the local magistrate". (Hear, bear.) Thus, with Ibsen:lg= exception of the pro posal on the subject of traesportetioa to Western Australia, her Majesty's government had adopted the whole of the re commendations of the Royal Commisiss; and be trusted that the bill which he now asked leave to Introduce for the purpose of giving effect to them, would be (mad greatly to improve the working of our convict primers, and world prove beeedicial to the community. (Clawsra4 Mr. ADDERLEY would not venture to criticise the toes. mare of the right hoe. bane= at this step were the subject Ism familiar to them, and were it cot hued upon a principle which be considered unsound. He would make pun ishment really punishmaut, and ralcematiou ooneurreet with it. But punishmeut he would hare distinct, tin= end certain. He would abolish tickets of leave, and therefore raped the third section of the set, because it bed totally failed. He would then make the manioc* literally ociincide with the punishment to follow, sod wherever ma tense was pease= should be rigidly carried out. He would have no &Bunnies of punishmeat except through ekes , tion into • higher class, and would reader the abridgment of any sentence impossible, excepting by royal elemeacy. The sentence should be clear sad Nlhgible ;sad even the labour should be described which wu to form port of the punishment. From this plan be hoped for great &drainers. First the punishment would be simple, intelligible, and at tain, for he denied that a prisoner was more memorable when his punishment wu uncertain. Another adventage would be to diminish the number of prisoners as the severer the punishment the shorter the esetenes mast be. The Discharged Primmer"' Aid Society might, he believed, be made a most effective agency in eoabling criminals at the emelusion of their tens of punishment to lave the maw try ; end they knew from the experience of the intense. diate system in Inland and the Discharged Primers' Aid Society that • peat number would go abroad, from the diffi culty they had of obtaining empioyment in Eagbuid. What he would propose was, that such armies "braid be mere largely ed, not from the Treasury, bat from the local rates, by which means the coated would still be ia the buds of the visiting jostices, the matter would be put in its proper light as far ea the emigrant was eooaerned, and the offence to the colonies would naturally emus. So strongly did he feel the views ha had expressed thee be should ger tr'nly, if he could lad no ow more competeet thee him self either is that boom ar elembese, submit the questime to mohair sot, and ask leave I. introduce a bill on the subject. (Hew, hear.) Lord N AAS mid by adhering to the principle of revidoe, to be followed afterwards by supervioioo over the ticket-of leave man, they would in a short time pin • permanent and certain hold over the criminal classes of this iner tly, and render their return to crime aimed im possible. He believed that was the object aimed at, and he thought it might be attained. The government had taken • long step towards it, and had only to take the other steps to render their system perfect and complete. He believed that seven years sentences would be found more effectual than shorter soutanes', sod that menteeces of penal servitude ought to be reserved for grave crimes. The coop miesiosers adhered to the seven yams' sentences, sad thought it the proper term to attach to any sentence of penal servitude. He could not help congratulating the oxo -113111601)11TI upon what be believed would woo prove a triumph of their principles. They were sow upon the right track, and he believed it would be found that the only way they could manage the couvicts properly was by ad. =Watering to them as severe a punishment as their health would permit, and at the same time holding out the stimulus of hope, and by doing all in oar power, when they were restored to society, to prevent them relapsing into crime. (Hoer, bear.) Mr. WHITBREAD spoke in favour of the measure and argued that without stimulants to good behaviour on the pert of the convict it would be impossible to keep eight huedred or a thomand prisoners In order sad useless to hope for their eeformatioa, and that the ticket-of.lean system bad not failed. Mr. CA YE said that for many year be had been as advocate for do reformatory Gramm opunishment of cri minals; and he admitted that the legislature bad no business to look at the Messier of the criminal, and not et the advantage of society at loge—(her, bear)—but if thou Menus could be shown to be iodentioal, he thought it would be their duty to follow the.. results Whet, moreover, they maw is one country • system which had pro miled for many years confessedly more or lees at fault— aud in another • system obviously attended with suremen— be thought it was the ditty of • wise logialatere not to be ashamed to copy the system which has emenseded in =bed intim of its own. Be was therefore glad to ems that her Majesty's government had reverted to the Ward aad sem inmesese viewed the matter. The licensing system was 10.111 f fairly tried, biers the conditions oe which the limns wu pasted were never enforced. The whole thing, therefore, failed, ad the robin had no mafidenoe in it. He thought there woe as peat duster in treasportadoe, because it was • ' and was hardly looked ea by the primmer se a paitimentat all ; hut, at the same time, the ay raised spirt it by the Aseibialisa esdrinies was wild and mreemoeing.

Socirrr Fox THE ENCONEAGININT or THE FINE Arra —Last evening Mr. Henry Ottley, the honorary sec ret/6r y, deliveredu eddies before ofall meeting of members and their friends, at the society's rooms, Goaded-street, upon the threatened surrender of the premises of the Natioeal Gallery to the Royal Academy, end the removal of the former to Burlington House or elsewhere. After some preliminary observation on the importance of the public exhibition of the rational collection as tending to elevate the taste of the people, and the influence it bad had is pro moting the culture of art, as manifested in the increased de mand for pictimes ma of our native schools within the last thirty yen% he proceeded to lace the history of the National Gallery and the various deacons which had been come to, and pled_g es given, by successive governments, by the Wiles of Cow. moos, sod by commiaaioes, tending to confirm the right of the nation to retain poison of the premises on the eligible site now in part occupied by the National Gallery, sod the desirableous of its seaming the occupation of the other portion, which bad been tenaporarily conceded to the use of the Royal Academy. He next showed how, for ab solute want of room in its legitimate house, large portions of the manual collection, being those of the British school, had been moved about from Marlborough-house to the ' Brompton Boilers," soil some of them (the Turner Collection) to Trafalgar-square, at great expense, such an amount as wo uld p robably have su ffi ced to build an entire and saffiaisot for a ll the purposes requited.

Mr. Cowper, the Chief Compere:toes of • blio Works, late in the lest 11011ii011 of parliament announced that goveniment bad under its consi deration • plan for the removal of the National Gallery to Burlington-house, and although the matter had been kept very quiet ever since, the fact be believed was that that act of spoliation was still ia cootemplatioo, that the plans for erryieg it out were matured, and only visited some "convenient" opportunity, when the public ware off their guard, to be carried into effect. He con cluded by calling upon his bearers and upon the public to be prepared to make such vigorous representations M re gard to it to the government sad to the parliament as should prevent this scheme from being realised, end effec tually ones and for all establish the National Gallery in fall posseesies of the premises purchased for it by the public moneys, with such extensions and modifications u might be found necessary for the worthy exhibition of the ""Ifttreasures of art. t PROPOSED RAILWAY SCREIISS 10R THE RIITEOPOIAIL—YeseerdaT, on the reassembling of this corn mere, Earl Granville in the chair, engineering evidence was taken at some !seek relative to the neeessity of extend tsl way cuunnaication in the metropolis and its suburbs.

If the South Western Railway eoupsested with the directors of this railway, there was no reason why the batik of the Ida of Wight should not be reached within three hours and three-quarters. The object of to directors was to make the south side of the Isle of Wight as accessible to vetoes from the metropolis as St. Leotards, Haatisp, Earitbouree, or other watering pieces as the south coed, which enjoyed no other ideates' over the Isla of Wight than that of being mare useable to Ludo& He was revised that with the co-operatic.. of the Loedon sad South Western Cam. parry, and improved facilities for crossing the Solent, the undertaking wield prove highly remueerative.—A Share holder complained of the delay of the contractor, and the few men employed on the works, expressing his fears that the promise of open* the line in May or Jiuse would not be kept.—Captain Hese, ia reply, stated that 200 addi tional men wen to be put on immediately.

Well. be bad bad his plessury ; and the teak the Queen's Advocate had now to perform was to make his chest's guilty enjoyment come as cheap to him as possible. (Laughter.) The petitioner at any rate had not injured Mr. bleaketh ; why then was be to be overwhelmed with vitu peration, sneers, and ridicule at the heads of the man who had does him so intolerable a wrong? The evidesee of the discarded servants who had bees . prcdsoed for the co respondent was too absurd for belief ; and the learned solicitor called upon the jury to mark their sense of Mr. likeketh's 000doct by awarding exemplary damages. The Judge Ordinary summed up, and the jury retired for about three quarters of an hour. On their return the fore man said that there was no chance of their agreement as to the idiom of cruelty—for they were on that point six to six.
