The LORD CHANCELLOR, in presenting some returns which he hail promised under the Augmentation of BODO lon Act, said he would take the opportunity of giving a more detailed answer to questions which had been put to him on a former evening a. to the extent to which the act had been carried into effect. He found that be had suc ceeded in sallies 37 livings, and there were under negotia tions 57 more, and inquiries had been made with respect to 55 other livings. The act did not come into operation till the Lit of November, and it was some time before the prin ciples of the act became generally understood. The pur abase mosey of the 37 helve that had been sold amounted to 65,3001., and 65, 3001 . was therefore the amount et augmen tations which this act had been the means of creating. Applications for purchase' were coming in almost every day, and he trusted therefore that his most sanguine srpscfatws would be realised. Of the 66,3001. 37,8501. had been paid into the Bank of England, and the remainder, 27,430/., was represented by amounts to be secured by not charges, by bonds, and sums of mon which had still to be mid. The total amount paid to they lochniastical Comniesioners wee 16,8001. A. examples of the prices which he had succeeded in obtaining be might mention that one living, the net income of which waa 261/., fetched 5,000/4 another living, the net income of which was 1971., and the incumbent of which was very old, fetched 5,5101. ; another, the net income of which was 2141., and the incumbent was aged 58, fetched 3,000/. • amongst the mealier livings, one of the annual value of 161 . 12a. 3d., and the incumbent of which was 72, fetched 5301. He was sure their lordships would be *said to know in what manner the provisionajof the act wen being carried out, and the dis position ther., was by means of them to confer benefits on the church. (Hear, hear.) Is reply to the Earl of DIRBT, The LORD CHANCELLOR said be had oily succeeded in selling one living under the 23rd motion, and be was afraid he should be under the necessity, in the coarse of the anon, to submit to their lordships some modification of the section ; there were, however, negoth ti os going on for the sale of three more livings under that *Fein. CLAIMS ON THE UNITED STATES AND BILII7SII GOVERNMF.NTS. The Earl of CARNARVON than roes, pursuant to notice, to move fora return of claims mad, by British subjects upon the United States government for losses sustained either in person or property since the secession of the Southern States, specifying how, and the grounds on which such claims have been disposed of ; and to ask for any further information as to the claims made lby the United States govern- , seat upon her Majesty's government for damages al. bged to be done to American ships by the Alabama I and other Coofederato cruises. He bad an estimate drawn up by an American of the damage inflicted by the Alabama on the American marine Mee she sailed from this country. He could not answer foe its entire accuracy, but scoordiag to this computation 148 Amen= vessels had been captured, burnt, or de stroyed by the Alabama between the day she left this country and the last day of July. The total tamers was 66,000 tom, which at 101. a toa world give 612,9201. To this bad to be added 204 per ton for tlmairgo .t which would bring up the amount to 1,100,0004, and if t 00,0004 were allowed for womb engaged in the earning trade In the Eastern sees, it was computed that the • loss could nos be far short of 2,500,0001. No ' doubt a great injury wee inflicted ori Americas own metre, as au shown by the high rate of marine issuance at present prevailing. Now these perms, smarting under a strong sense of personal injury, urged their claims on the . government in no measured terms, and he was sorry to my that the American government bad so lent them selves to this cry on the part of those who their claims, that hereafter, when these claims sw u ;Ed to a very much larger sum, it would be absolutely impossible for them to res t rain the machinery which they bad themselves set in motion. Therefore it was important that her Majesty's government should I bring the question to a deceive settlement one way or the other. Then there was a mooed ohms of claimants, who I made no secret of their objects. They openly and avowedly I said that these claims should be bald in reserve until the emberraiameot of England should prove the opportunity of 1 America, when they would be ready to resort to hostilities I which might wipe off a sense of national humiliation. This should impress oe the noble sari the immense importance of ' settling this question without the least delay. Earl RUSSELL said that psmosally he had no objection 1 to the granting of the return, but it would be very voluminous, and its publication would tend to prejudice the claims to which it would refer. He justified the proceedings of the American prize courts, while, se re girded the &lea, ample apologies had been made by the captain of the American cruiser for whet bad occurred ; and as to the murder of the hate , all that could be asked was that the offender be put on his trial. The Tomakesa had been seised uoder the advice of the law offiosrs of the crown. He repudiated now, as he had always done, any claims arising out of the depredation, of the Alabama. The American government (mid the noble lord) say they have a dear and undoubted case for reparation in the else of the Alabama. We say we have a clear and undoubted case for refusing reparation. In no way out this question be settled, unless indeed the noble earl would propose that the United States should pleb us to the verge of war for the sake of getting the Cane settled. The American govern moot say that they kayo a very good ewe, but are reedy te keep it in abeyance ; that they are ready to keep upon terms of amity with us, that they are reedy to carry on the most (deadly relations with Great Britain if Great Britain will be meted to follow therexample ; and am I to say we will do nothing of the sort! sod am Ito ask them to make war upon us and push the madam to an extromite, That is the case of the noble earL It is very desired*, indeed, not to keep these matters hanging over, bat how is that to be done while the position of the two portion is so entirely opposed' I do consider that, having puma a law to prerent the enlistment of her Majesty's subjects in the service of a foreign power and to prevent the fitting out or equipping within her Majesty's dominions of vesnols for warlike purposes without her Majesty's sanction— I say (that, having passed such a law in the year 1819, it is a sandal and reproach that one of the belligerents has been ambled at the cedar of the Caddied* government to fit out a vessel at Liver pool in such a way that she was capable of being made a Venal of war—that after going to another port in her Ma jesty's dominions to ship a portion of the maw ad than going to • neutral territory and gettable • furth er crew and equipment as a moral of war, she has been enabled to capture and destroy innocent merchant vessels belonging to the other helligereat. (Hoar, hear.) Having thus been equipped by an evasion of the law. I say it in a scandal to our law that we should not be able prevent such belligerent operations. (Hear, hoar.) I venture to say so much, be muse I do fed this in the Foreign-office to be a very great inconvenience. If you chose to say, as you might have said in former times, " Let mods be fitted out, go to Cilllrien ton, sod there ba sold to an agent of the Confederate go- vernment," I can understand such • state of tbiogs ; but if we have a law to prevent the fitting out of warlike vessels without the bosom of her Majesty, and yet vessels are so fitted out, I say it is a modal and a reproach. A very learned judge has said of this act of perliameast, that not wily • comb and six could run through it, but s whole fled of ships. Well, then, if that be a proper description of our las, I ear you ought to have it made more elm and intelligible. this law was said to be passed to secure the peace and the welfare of the nation, and I trust it may bo found in the end sufficient for that purpose. But I say, that while the law remains in the present state its purpo a is defeated, and its enactments are made of so avail by British subjects, who defy the Queen's proclamation of Dentrelity. To them observations I will only add, that if the noble earl wishes for any other paper relating to the Alabama—l believe there is only one—l shall be willing to give it, but as to the folio volume of papers to which I have referred, I ' trust the noble earl will not press for their production. ' The Earl of CARNARVON wished to explain that be did not mean the cerrespoodem in 'stenos, but a sum marised return showing the names and dates and amount of claims. He quite accepted his noble frieod's explanation, and could only say that he was rejoiced to receive it. At the same time, be thought it was most important that parliament should know the position in which we stood with regard to the cm of the Saxon. The noble earl had challenged him to give his case, and to show the wore saint where they were in error. Ile would willingly take up the challeage. but he could not do so until he was in possession tithe lepers. He hoped his noble friend would give the papers with regard to the Saxon, and he toast also press for a copy of the instructions sent out to the local authorities at the (laps of Good Hope with respect to the leisure of the Tomlin's. Earl RUSSELL said he bad no obj ection to furnish the general information which the noble earl wished to obtain. He was also reedy to produce the papers with re gard to the Saxon if the noble earl would move for them, but he should make inquiries at the Foreign.office before he could be prepared to furnish the papers in the case of the Tuscaloosa. The Earl of CARNARVON then moved for the papers relating to the case of theta:on. The motion was agreed to. Their lordibips then adjourned at twenty minutes past six u'slack. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAT, FEB. 16. The SPLUUR took the choir at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE RUED:M.S. Between thirty and fci;typ;Waiebills were read a second time Amongst them was one rispectieg the Liverpool and London lire and Life Insurance Companies. Sir J. SHELLEY moved the second reading of the Beck enham. Lewes, cad Brighton RAllway Bill, protesting against an attempt which he uodentood was going to be made. at the iestaoce of the Brighton Railway, to prevent the scheme from being added to the group militias to the part of the country is question. After some dimmeloa, Sir J. SHELLEY said that in deference to what appeared to be the feeling of the house, he should not press his motion ; but unless that part of the country with which he was connected got that railway accommodation which it was admitted was wanting to it at present, he should rain the question as long u he had a seat in that house again sad again. The amendment was then withdrawn, mid the motion for the iiss. second reading of the bill wee negatived without • div CALEDONIAN, EDINDUEGH , AND GLASGOW, • AND SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY COM PANIES BILL The mono. for the mood reading of the above bill was negatived without • divieica DUBLIN METROPOLITAN RAILWAY BILL AND DUBLIN TRUNK CONNEXION LINE. These bills we= Naively read a second time, and ordered to be committed, GREAT NORTH GA ERN NSBOROUG H) BILL. RAILWAY (N (DONCASTEM TO I On the motion for the second reading of this hill, Mr. MASSEY said it was quite true that this bill wag re jected in former years through the opposition of the land owners, but sine that time their opposition had be ma terially qualified, and be should now vote for the bill. The bill was thee read • second time. HARWICH CORPORATION BILL. Captain JERVIS moved the second reading of this WI. Mr. CRAWFORD opposed the motioe. This bill pro posed to 000 fer upon the corporation of Harwich powers to raise 40,0001. for the =nose of reclaiming a certain tract of land '= the neighbourhood of the town, and covered by the sea at high water, at the expense of the ratepayers of the town. The bill was opposed by the inhabitants for many reasons—that it was not within the province of corporations to embark in speculations of any kind ; that the whole risk of the undertaking would be thrown upon the ratepayers; that the scheme was in fact brought forward by the Great Eastern Railway Company ; that the bill was in direct op position ton eroding order of the house; and that if passed it would compel the inhabitante to adopt the Local Govern meat Act of 1858, which they had determined not to do. The bill was promoted by • few parties in the lowa rend in direct opposition to the wishes of three-fourths of the inhabitance, expressed at • public meeting on the sth of this month, and he laved the house would sot support the pro °median of the town mod of the borough. He moved that the bill be read • second time that day fax months. Captain JERVIS wished to know why the member for the City el London had intimated himself Imo much me be half of his (the gallant captain's) coostituents ? He denied that there was any pretence for saying that the bill was • job got up by the Greet Eastern Railway. The railway company in question had had nothing whatever to do with the matter. The foot was, there was in the neighbourhood of Harwich • very rising place celled Devereourt, the map of which can on the Imam= The result was a =seat nuisance, and ha believed that the opposition to this bill had base 'Mae got up by the omen of that sewage. (Laughter.) The bill was really a sanitary messure—one, too, for which there was the greatest need—sod he there fore hoped that the house would allow the bill to go before • select committee. (Hear, beer.) Mr. MASSEY said that, however desirous he might feel to relieve committees of any portion of their labour, this bill had upon the facie of it • laselable object ; and being promoted by • corporation which was elected by popular suffrage, it was • matter peculiarly fitted for exami nation upstairs. In fact he had never known a bill more ennoble for such an inquiry. (Cheer..) The home then divided— For the second readier/ Ageism it 63-73 So the bill was reed • *lord time. THE BRIGHTON LDTES. The remaining bills on the paper were the Landon, Brighton, and South Oast Railway (Kemp Town statism and limo); the London, &•=hton, and South Coat Railway (Ones Valley line); and the Loodoe, Brighton, sod South Coast Railway (Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne line). Sir J. SHELLEY, although he had no madam what ever in the Brightoa Company, felt bound, alter the decision the house had already arrived at, to withdraw his opposition to these bills, and thus throw upon the company the respon sibility of dealing with the matter. The bills were therefore read • second time. PRIVATE BILL LEGISLATION. Mr. M. GIBBON moved the following resolutions : " 1. That the committee of selection and the general 03131. mitre on railway and canal bills, at any time after the rm. mitts! of such bills, be empowered, with the rams of all parties =woollen or opposing, to refer the same, wholly on with referee= to per chorea, to the chairman of the committee of ways and means, and that such chairman, together with members to be appointed in like manner as members of the committee on usoppesed bills, be empowered to bear the parties promoting or opposing such bills, or their agents, sod to report upon the same to the house. 2.

That committees on private bells be odered to meet= 11 o'clock? The object of the resolutions, observed the right hon. gentleman, was not to establish any great scheme of reform io private taiga lion, hut merely to adopt some of the recommeodatioes of the select committee of lest year, with a view to remedy particular grienneee that had bees complained of. Lord R. CECIL, having enumerated the evils attendant upon the existing system of imeductieg private bill lads tioo, insisted that the time had arrived wheel • *huge was imperatively required. The proposal of the Prodded of the Board of Trade was • step in the right direction, sod would no doubt and to lighten the labours of hon. mem bers ; but his objection to it was that it was an improve ment which proceeded at • snail's space. He moved, aan amendment to the first resolution, that it was i si b x .a ct that the duty of aseertaimeg the facts up= which ' - lion in respect to private bills was to proceed be discharged by some tribunal external to the ham, who should report to • select committee of the bore, The amendment was seconded by Mr. PAULL, and op posed by Mr. GIBBON, who pointed out as the chief objec tion that such a preliminary inquiry would only add another stage to the present proosediesp. The proposal led to • leer/ disunion, ie which Lord H. Vane, Mr. Mama, Colonel W. Patten, and Mr. B. Carter took part ; after which the amendment was withdrawn, and the first resolution, as to the duties of the chairman of OM. mitre of ways and means, and the committee of members by whom he is to he misted, was agreed to, as were also the succeeding resolutions bearing an the question of fees and the printing of evidence. A resolution was then proposed, to the effect that the fee of 5/. per day now paid by opponents of any private bill be reduced to 21. Mr. HADFIELD moved an amendment empowering oome mitres to exonerate petitioner., owners, or meets of property affected by balls from the payment of fees in seek er exemption, if they see fit, and to charge promoters of 671, with all fees to be paid in respect of the same. On • division the amendment was eeptived by 65 to 4;11. Resolutions were then moved, reducing the fees paid by promoters of private bills foe proceedings is the Mesh which were discussed. Mr. R. HODGSON huh= moved an amendment, posing • &Must alteration, it was, on a division, ere tivd by 135 to 4. The resolution was then to. Mr. M. GIBBON mud he now leave to move the resolution. which related to the • charges made by parliamentary arta, solicitors, and others, which were complained of in some cases es being *Retries in amount. The first resolution was :—" That the Speaker be requested to revise the list of charges for parliamentary agents, @a risen, fro., with • view modally to the reduction of the charges allowed for copies of documents." , Mr. HENNESSY wished to point out that the fees given to parliamentary counsel were lees than those given at the , common law and equity bars in proportion to the value of the property in question. (Oh.) It was the fact. if the property involved in • chancery emit were worth 20,0001. the , fees were I. properties. (No.) About that there was no doubt whatever. Now the smallest sum mistimed as likely to corns before • committee was 50,0001. and ranging , up to 2,000,0004 He would ask what were the fees paid in Dyer Sombre's cue to the present Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench ? Why 1.000 guineas upon the brief and 300 guineas for every day afterwards, and yet the right boa gestlema objected to the minimum of 30 mama for the Ant day and 15 guineas for the following days to parliamen i tare counsel. No member of that bar would fight e greet ' ease for such •retannersties. Colonel WILSON PATTEN mad that la demist in some mese at the common law bar the fees were higher than at the parliamentary bar. But them:lobelia me= of the fees I paid in great oases but in small cos= ea where perm bad W come before' committee and protect their garden' leadsmen properties. A gentleman bad informed him that he loud l sat necerary to appear before a committee to defend his garden, and that be had to pay 37/. for the fine day's &Madames by coneeel, and that hie bill of coots we. over 3004. and the value of the property only 1451. (Hear, hear.) It was a =se of that kind that the fees of counsel we found to be so high as to prevent parties frees obtaining justice before committees. (Hear, hoer.) He believed that the leaders of the parliamentary bar were by as mem favourable to the 'mistreat* of the high fees, and Use house might safely leave the matter in their hands, and they would pees resolutions which would meet the rigamarole of the came. (Hear, bear.) Re thought his right hoer friend had taken • wise come ia submitting to Mr. Speaker that he should from time to time revise the uprises of parliamentary legislation, and that the resolution deserved the mapped of the hones. Kr. H. BENTINCK could not but regret that the right hoc. ea clamp should bare confined himself solely to the maim of =eats eolichose. He thought it was a W EDN ESD-AY monstrous abuse to deter junior =embus of the Mir from practising Won committees. If they had free rode is other things they ought to have free trade is banisters' fees. (Hear, hear.) It would ill become the House of Commons to stop short as at premat propoosd, and he would therefore venture to move the Mention of the words I'mussels base in the present resolution. The SPEAKER said it would not be consistent with order that the words proposed should be inserted is this resolution. Mr. REPTTINCK withdrew his motion, and the resolution was agreed to. Mr. M. GIBSON then moved the sixth resolution : " Thst the minutes of evideuoe on opposed private bills be printed at the exposes of the panne whenever copies of the same shall be required." The resolution was agreed to. The seventh resolution:—"That committees on private bills be ordered to met at sieves o'clock," was withdrawn. PUBLIC_ BITEUNES. Th.

NORTHCOTE asked the Seentary et Baste for the Home Departnisot whether it was true, as had been publicly stated, that a communicate* had reemtly been made by him to the Archbishop of Caatesbary, to the effect that the government would not marten eel step being takers towards the establishment of a bishopric of Cornwall ; whether he hadirmeived any eonimunicatioa with regard to . the appointment of a suffragan bishop for the dioOine of Exeter ; and if so, what answer he had made to it ; sod whether he would have any objection to ley the oorrespoud ewe on the subject upon the table of the bones. Sir G. GREY said be had received • letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury proposing the division of the diens* of Raster and the creation of a new saw consisting ell Cornwall. There would be so objection to produce that letter, together with the answer given on the part of the government. Sir S. NORTHCOTI gave notioe that he would move for the maraca Thunday next. CHINA.
