L&W (W DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.—COUNTY °OUST& Ilis LORD CHANCELLOR brooght in a bill for the Emiterine of actin and presses for small debts, to amend awes* relating to Coat y Courts, and give them a limited rlin 49114. He deeeribed the present state of aw re to the recrenry ci small debts, poisticg out t h e enurity with which the proceedings in the County Courts pressed is the poorer clamor- Till, power of these courts L Menem small daises had been found very in =M its operatien. He proved from the re load before perlienret that up to the year LID mere then 17,000 persons had been ini weiressil by the order of the County Courts. In maw of those eases the and claimed were incredibly small, Er. U.. or 25., end in ow cue a man was sent to prison in dank at paying the rem of 9d. This power of imprison methad no limitatrou bat the discretion or clemeocy of the *age. A mail night be ambled several times for the erne dote. The advantages the present law gave the Cr..ader wee. so greet that practically the whole value of the debeWs labour was maimed for the creditor's benefit. Asa remedy for them evils, he proposed by the present lil to limit the power of impnacoment by a clause re quiring the judge to lake into consideration all the circum stares of the case. Imprisonment would be ordered only ie maw of debt °retracted by fraud and false pretences. Eat that imprisonment would be made a real punishment, kr Med of a nombel ledietion, am it was in some districts. The bill would attempt to assimilate the case of the small debtor to that of the insolvent with greater liabilities by sir* the judge power to call all the creditors of a working men together to prove their data. An order would then be made for the emoted to be set apart by the debtor for their payment, the money to be paid into court and dis tributed by it. A debt cookaded with the keeper of an alehouse for intoxicating liquors consumed on the premises would not be recovembie by pnxees under this act. The woad part of the bill invested the county courts with a limited equitable jerinfiction in cases involving sums too small in bear the armies of an application to the Court of Chancery. Lord CRANWORTH entirely concurred in the opening part of the sable and learned lord's speech, as to the ex treme desirability of getting rid of the present system of inipriamment for debt in the county courts. How far it might be possible to effect that object was a matter upon which he meet reserve his opinion till he saw the measure. As =ay of their lordship knew, he entertained views upon this subject which Lord &ougham thought the most hete rodox that could be proposed. He was not certain that they might not eventually come to this—that all debta ander a certain sum should be debt. of honour, incapable of being recovered at law. There were difficulties in the way of that, no doubt, but the only alternative was the pain fal process of imprisonment or leisure of goods. If the debt amounted to three or four pounds, the whole of the goods probably would not in many cases produce more. The LORD CHANCELLOR bad neglected to state that there was a provides in the bill that household goods should not be takes, 8o as to leave the debtor helpless ; and that tools should not be takes, so as to interfere with his means ef livelihood. The bill was then read a fast time. NAVAL AND VICTUALLING STORES BILL. This bill wee reed a mood time. Their lordships nee at 20 minutes pact 6 o'clock. HORSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, MAY 6.

(Haar.) IRISH EMIGRATION. Mr. SCULLY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been directed to the proposal act of American Congress providing for the reduction of tonnage dues on immigrant vestals, and for the appointment of a government cornmianioner of immigration, who should be empowered to contract for the importation of immigrant% and for their transmission into the inland dis tricts of the United States! And whether it was the in tuition of the present government to adopt any measures tabor towards diverting into some of her Majesty's colonies the increased sod incrouing emigration from Ire /sad, or towards arresting that emigration, by providing in dustrial employment at home, or by reducing esorbaant taxation, or by improving land laws, or by abolishing reli gious distinctions, or by conceding to Irishmen some parti cipation in the government of their own country, or other wise. Sir G. GREY said his attention Lad not been directed to the act decagram until the boo. gentleman had placed is his hand an American newspaper containing a reference to it. There could be no doubt th►t a very large emigration mistaking place from Ireland, but it mese from the high,the artificially high rate of wages in America. occasioned by the war ; and from the comparatively low rate of remuneration for lobour in Ireland, which caused large noniben of persona to quit that swishy for England or Scotland. He did not think it would be expedient to attempt to arrest that movement by providing industrial employment et home at the expense of the public or under government control. He believed that Ireland received its fair share of the benefits resulting from a reduction of taxation ; and be would remind the hoc. member that the people of the sister country lived under exactly the mule constitution as the rest of the United Kiegdom. (Hear, hear.) RAILWAY FROM HALIFAX TO QUEBEC. Hr. ATTOUN asked the Secretary of State for the Colo aim whether it was the intention of the government to ask the sanction of parliament, during the present session. for a guarantee of interest on a stun of money required to com plete the railway from Halifax to Quebec; and, if not, whs. iker the inontioa of doing so was Melly abandoned : and whether any correspondence has taken place between the Colonial-othee and the authorities in Canada and BMA Columbia on the subject of the proposed telegraphic tem wumication between Canada and the Pacific, subsequent to that which wee produced last year; and, if so, whether be bad any ~:ejection to lay copies of such correspondence upon the table Mr. CARDWELL said these was uo intention this year to ask fur such a guarantee as the hon. gentleman referred to. The matter had not been abandoned, but it was still under the consideration of the several colonirs which were in terested in it. There was a correspoodesce on the subject, which would be produced if the boo. member moved for it. THE DANISH WAR. Mr. NEW DEGATE—Sir, I bare beard from the right boo. geotletuan the Home Secretary with sincere rehret th a t th e node lord at the head of the government is not likely to be in his place to-night, and that it is also doubtful whether he will be hereon Monday ; but the right boo. gen tleman has also informed me th►t be will himself &miser the question which I have put upon the paper. .. Confer lace of the Great rowers has beau sitting, at which Aus tria, Prussia, Denmark, and England are represented ; and it is understood that this Conference is to deliberate with reference to the immediate state of things incident to the war. England hiss not ceaaed to be the ally of Denmark ; sad whatever may be the feelings of the representatives of the other Powers—lorder, order.) The SPEAKER—It is the rule of the house that a hon. member putting a question must confine himself strictly to the facts netteseary to explain it. Mr. N EWDEGATE—It is without intending are disre spect to the Conference that I have put this question ; but I think it is ioconsistest with the dignity of England—(re •ewed crier of "Order.") The SPEAK Ell—Asy expressions of opinion on the part of the boo. member are out of order. Mr. NEW DEGATE—I beg perdoo. I will simply state that as Eagles:id is the ally of Denmark I do not think— (Loud cries of "Order.") I will put the question of which 1 bays given notice, and which in a gees: measure explains itself. (Loud laughter.) I merely wish farther to state that the cuttributimis leviedupon the people of Denmark (Order, order.) I cannot conceive that the is a natter of indifference to the House of Commons-• (Load cries of "Order," " quesmoo," and " chair.") The SP EA KEft-1 must request that the hon. gentleman will put his question. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NEW DZGATE —I beg your pardon, Sir. I will put my question, the terms of which, happily, will explain my masons for patting it. (Laughter.) I therefore ask the right hou. baronet, as the representative of the First Lord of the Treasury, whether her Majesty's government intend to adopt as, measures likely to be more effectual than thom which have hitherto been attempted, for the purpose of relieving the people sad King of Denmark from the oppres lee to tibial they ere daily subjected! :iir ; ItEY—Tbe boo. gentleman has stated what we all know, that a Conference is now sitting, and we hope and trust that the first resulted it will be to establish an armistice. trader tbvse circumstances, and without anticipating events the only answer I eon give the hon. gentleman on the part of the government is this—that her Majesty's government mil media tie in etweliketion with the other powers to tales THE EXPRESS,- 471/1414411 those means which appear ascot likely to 'ghat * object they beets I. vier, may, the tormiastion d Ur var. sad the satisfactory settlement of the quondam betimes Dec. mark and Germany. (Roar.) PAY OF OMOKE3 OF TSB NAVY. To answer to Sir J. PAILENGTON, Lord C. PAGET said that on Friday next he would ky or the table the wocniemeatary estimate ter the increased pay of naval °Moors, with so explasatory statement, sad he would take • &mei= upon it on the following Thurs day. CHURCH BUILDING AND NEW PARISHES ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. In &newer to Mr. RADPWA Si, G. GREY rid Uri the sewed teediog of this bill would be pcetpotted till the 20th inst. RAILWAY AND CANAL BILLS. Mr. R. HODGSON asked the chairmen al the general oonimities oa railway sad meal bills whether the committee would meet to coeliac the clauses referred to them on the 26th of April last by the house, so that any clauses which the comanttee might tecommeed may be iaserted in bills of the present eosins to which they were applicable. Lord STANLRY mid that the general committee, consist ing as it did of chairmen of railway committees, would not be able to muskier the clauses in question until they had disposed of the bills Ware them. the table any doeuntethe or despatches ea these subjects. And to move as address for oopy al the asswees reonved from the goveramiati be whom iselhttions ewe ad dressed to attend the Conference now dttlng to Loodoa. Him boa. friend the Us e& fiesselery for Forept Affairs would recollect that the Hln of Deamark hid promoted over end over &pia to the Gummi thole= *goal etheitatiesal rights. la hie minim the gelation of annexatine should be referred to the peeple of the duchies themselves. . . . . — sir F. said, considering what Austria had done in Hungary and Visalia, and what Prussia had done with roped to the Poles, sod oonindering also the opinion of M.Von Bismarck, that there sever would be pesos between Denmark and Germany so long as Denmark had democratic institutions, they could feel no sympathy with those who in this ease profaned to be rotor* to ea " t e . " ld d ra l t wxlintood that, considering the Lamm of the boar and the discussion now going on as them im portant matters, it was not the wish of the house that be should eater at any length into the subject oa the preempt oorianion—(hear, hear)—and he should therefore oral= him self to simply answering the question of his boa. friend. The boa member had alluded to a statement he had mad* on a former mission, but it would be remembered that he was then pointing out how difficult it was for the house to discus questions of nth importance, in which complex questions of international law were osacermed, and to oome to a hasty decision epos them. , 1 At that time he mentioned the powers of the estates of 1 Mavis and Holstein. According to some, those estates woe constitutional parliaments, with the power of giving opinions or exercising influence is any change of 000stitu tics or occessioe, while according to others their powers wen strictly confined to local legisLiion, and the fact of their being precluded from discussing those articles which related to succession showed that that wee the opinion of the King. His hon. Mead had assumed that the estates bad the power of discussing the question of socessioc, but that was open to very great doubt, and could DOS be decided by any mere ipme dixid. He bad also stated that whilst same bad denied that the estates bad taken any part in the question of the champ of succession ; others asserted that they bad virtually on. turned their thanks to the King of Denmark for the settle ment of the suconsion. HI/ hoa friend then prooseded to ear that be (Mr. Layard) was in error in stating that the Diet bad not objected to the change in the ammosion. What he did state was that up to the death of the late king the question of Nicotinic& was never made an element in the discuiwion going on with respect to the two derbies; bet that, on the wormy, when Earl Knoell made his pro peed in 1862, it was accepted by all the powers sod the Diet es a satisfactory amusement, and if Denmark had accepted it that would have settled this difficult and important ques tion. His hon. friend next asked on what ground the statement had bees made that the expression of feeling in the two derbies in favour of the Prince of Augusto burg was not spontaneous. In the very despatch quoted by the hon. gentleman it was stated that the ex =of feeling wee not sposteasous, but was t about by the agents of the German powers. He was surprised to hear the hon. gentleman quoting that despatch, because the writer, in his resume said be had never Gees heard the Kim of Denmark spokes of in the duchies bat with respect and affection, while he did bear exerts sires to the effect that if the King possemed the power, he had the will to make hie subjects happy and content ; that the few persons who desired union with Germany were strong partisans amours the nobility and landowome, and that they were well aware that theirs was not the popular (vision, that they never gave expression to their views unless in the warmth of debate, or by mistake. (Hear, hear.) He would not deny that the duchies bad certaiii grievances. Her Majesty's government had always main- Weed that the Danish government had not fulfilled their promises ; but he could not agree with his bon. friend that on that account they ought not to take their part ;thatraised mother question altogether. These promises were not ful filled for a length of time, but they ware fulfilled ultimately. What he maintained was this, that ae Austria, and Prussia and Germany had obtained all that they had a right to ask for before the war was commenced, to go to war was a great and manifest injustice. Mr. Grobner was not sent to Sleswig and Holstein to inquire into the feelings of the people, for that her Majesty's government were wanted against obtair ing, but he went there for another purpose, which he ac complished. From the information which the government had received it appeared them was no desire in the duchies to elect the Prince of Augustieburg as their prince. That was his impression. The object at present being to restore pesos, be would not comsat to produce the papers, as their production misht create feelings which it was desirable should not be aroused at this time. (Hear.) Lord R. CECIL said, before they passed from this viatica he desired to say a single word in order to eater his protest with respect to these Danish debates. The hon. baronet the member for Buckiogham, and those who agreed with him upon this subject, hod frequently intruded Daaiek debates into the proceedings of the homes. There was an enormous majority in the house who sympathised with Denmark in this matter. (Loud cheers.) They, how ever, did not think it wise in the existing state of the Dego riasions to impede any chance there might he for the restoration of that peace which all desired by entering with unnecessary vehemence into the debate' which took place. (Hear, hear.) But he feared that their reticence had been misunderstood by the people out of doors and by the partisans of Germany, whom he believed they might count upon their fingers. (Hear, hear.) Those patinae had contrived to make the people behave that there was a German party in the House of Commons, but that was not the case. (Cheers.) It was not his ia beetion to enter upon what were difficult questions, but he wished that no one would ism future believe that because they had not contradicted on all occasions the wild and extravagant statements which ware put forth, they were to be taken as facts. The opinion of the Home of Commons could not he taken until after the negotiations had base concluded, and coosequeetly without at tresent exposieg Denmark to additional danger eider bee unjust sufferings, with which they most heartily sympathised. They could not, until they were in a position through the failure of the negotiations at the conference, bring these mstten to • conclusion iu that house (Loud cheers.) Mr. NEWDEGATE was glad to bear that expression of Who on the part ci the House of Commons, and which had bees elicited by the noble lord. He rejoiced to see at this momenta feeling which was truly national exhibited towards Denmark, for it was no questios now about Sles wig and Holstein. The whole of Jutland was occupied by the invaders, who were levying contributions and taking hostages from the population because they would not ear resdor their property. If it were not for the sea upon which England once bad some power, the staa of Den mark would be swept from the category of tuition, but be trusted that England would take care that that gallant nation was saved from destruction. (Hear, bear.) Sir H. VERNEY explained that he did not express any approval of the conduct of Austria and Prussia, but he spoke on behalf of the German people in the Duchies. The subject then dropped. SEWAGE. Mr. HENLEY asked the noble lord the member for Huntingdocabire it he would object to an instruction being moved to the committee appointed "to inquire into any plans for dealing with the sewage of the metropolis and other large tonne with a view to its utilisation to agricul tural purposes," that they should inquire into the effects of discharging thewwage into the brooks or riven. Lord IL MONTAGU hoped that the right hon. gen tleman would move such an instruction ; and that he would allow himself to be added to the committee. Mr. HEN LEY gave notice that he would move the in struotion cm Wednesday next. STEAM COAL Mr. IL VIVIAN sated the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the experiments en the relative rale* of Welsh steam coal alone, and Welsh and north country oral mixed, detailed in the return dated 15th Fehrssary, 1864, were re garded by the Admiralty u final, or whether practical trials at sea ape this question were about to be mails Lord C. PAGLT said that the experiments were by no means considered Anal, and that a circular had been sent to the captains of vessels at sea, directing their attention to the matter. THE AURORA. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked whether the Aurora frigate, wider the command of Sir Leopold Macelintock, had been sent to the North Sea in the direction of the Auetrian ' squadron ; and if so, why a force more adequate to oops with any possiUs contingency that might arise had net been despatched at the same time. Lord C. PAGED—In answer to the bon. gentleman I have to state that the Aurora has been seat to t►e North Sea, in accadanos with the constant practice of this omen try, that when a foreign squadron are cruising on a creak ' when we have considerable commercial interest@ we should have a ship in that neighbourhood to watch over the in ' tersest& For that purpose, I think I may say that the Aurora is perfectly adequate to the service on which she is seat. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAELNGTON—The question of my ham friend assumed that the AIWA= ships have left the Downs. I wish to ask if her Majesty's government are in a position to I say whether the Austrian squadron have left, and if so, what Is the destination for which they have sailed? Lord C. PAGET—They have left the Downs ; but I really cannot answer as to what ia their destination. (Oh, oh.) Sir G. GREY —I beg to repeat the answer which I gave last night—namely. that her Majesty's government have received the most distinct mummy from the Austrian go vernment that the destination of their squadron was to the North Sea, to prevent the blockade of the Elbe and the Weser, and to protect German commerce in the North Sea. That was the exclusive object for which they were sent. (" Hear," and " Oh.") Mr. GRIFFITH—I wish to ask the right hon. gentleman whether he has asked say explanation of the Admiralty of the circumstances under which he, representing the prime minister, wasyseterday left so completely in ignor es,e u to be placed in the painful situation of denying a fact in this house that was announced in the government paper of last evening'. Sir G. GREY—Perhaps the has. member will state what fact! Mr. GRIFFITH—The sailing of the Aurora. Sir G. GREY—The question was whether the Aurora bad been ordered to the Baltic. Mr. GRIFFITH—Does the right boo. gentleman mesa to say that he answered the question according to the letter instead of according to its spirit! (A laugh.) Did he not understand the question to be, whether the Aurora bad not sailed for the Baltic and the North Sea? Sir G. GREY—So. I uoderstood it as it w expressed by my hon. friend, namely, whether the •sel had left the Downs and had been ordered to the Baltic. Sir J. ELPHISSIONE—I wish to know where the Aurora is really gone. I understand that she is at Heligoland. Is she to remain there' Is she to cruise about' Labe to go up the Elbe ?—is short, what is she to do' Lord C. PAGET—The last news we have of her is a tele gram to-day from Heligoland. She is there, undoubtedly. to ascertain the proceedings of the Austrian squadron. (Rear, bear.) BUSLSESS OF THE HOUSE. Sir G. GREY gave notion, as it was doubtful whether the noble lord at the heed of the government would be present cc llooday, that be would postpone the notice for a select committee on the practice of the Privy Council with mend to the reports of school inspectors till Thursday Dent ; and on the following day be would move the ad journment of the house till Thursday, the 19th inst. PUBLIC SCHOOLS COMXL9SION. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. G. DUFF celled attention to the Report of the Pali& Schools Commission. He aoslysed the report, with refereoce to the descriptions it gave of the prevent state of things, which were very uosatisfactory, sod to the rococo mendatious of the commissioner', which be discussed. sup plementing them with recommendations and suggestions if his own, and estimates of the relative value and portaece of &ferret brooches of study. He noticed the subjects of discipline, of which the commissioners reported more favourably than of the intellectual attainments of the scholars ; of the buildings ; of recreations in relation to health. sod remarked the 01211/&100 in the report of soy mention of the importance of some system of training master". He concluded a long speech, which repeated indications of impatience showed was considered too loom by nicitim; a resolution—" That the state of the higher school education in England is not satisfActory, sod calLs fur the early attention of her Majesty's government." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, after re marking toot the discussion of this subjects° soon after the publicatiou of the report might be thought premature, paid a warm tribute to the laborious and valuable service of the cominissimiem to whom, be said. the government were deeply indebted. With regard to the motion, be observed that it was premature at least to ask the concurrence of the house in a resolutiou which really amounted to • coo. demtstiou of the commissioners. He defended the teachers of our public schools. and took a comprehensive view of the inatructioo received is the universities and public schools of England and Scollaue. °om itting training power and teaching power, for those institutions a debt of gratitude from the country. In noticing the improvements suggested in the branches of learning to La taught there, he dwelt upon the danger or over•loadiug tie mind so as to prevent its faculties from growing and thriving. It was the intention of the govern ment, be said, to take the report into consideration, with a view to legislate upon the subject, and he pointed out the oii 4 ects to which parliamentary legislation should be directed. 'ill.. WALPOLE recommended that the resolution should be withdrawn after what had been said by the Chancellor of the Escliesuer. Sir S. NORTIICOTE, One of the commissioners, de scribed their course of proceeding in the inquiry, especially io the matter of discipline. The reseiution was withdrawn. The attention of the house was next directed to this subject of charging the poor rate in Ireland with the ex penses connected with the registry of voters and births and deaths, and to the justice of distributing the amount awarded by the order in council of 1851 for retired officers in the Royal Marines. Mr. D. SEYMOUR vied whether the Home Secretary was aware that the pretties still prevailed of transporting cot.victs and vagrants from the Channel Islands to South aronton and other southern seaports. Sir G. GREY replied that he had inquired into the matter, and received information from Guernsey to the effect that co convict bad been transported thence since :Co answer had yet been received from Jersey. ' Mr. IPEYOY moved that in the opinion of the bowls the government should now adopt the recommendation of le,3s. which recommended them to take into consideration the claims of Indeed to a grant of the half-cot of medical officers in unions with the view of providing for the same in future as was the practice in England and Scotland. The motion was opposed by Sr K PEEL, and after din ' eunsion was negatived upon a division by to 58. AFFAIRS OF DENMARK. Sir H. VERNEY rose to ask the Under Secretary of Slate for Foreign Affairs to state to the house whether be had rtat.ol) to believe that the States of Holstein formally thanked the King of Denmark for what he had dose is altering the succession • and if so, on what authority he entertained that belief. Whether the intimation, is Despatches 700 and 76i, that the movement in the Duchi e s . . . of Sleswid and tiolsteit; in favour of separation 60MDen mark was not spontaneotu, rested oo the authority of coy watts of the Bntiabigovenunant ; and if Is• would lay upon THE COVENANTED SERVANTS OF INDIA. Sir E GitOG.L.N then rose to bring under the consideration of the hones the positioo of the dvil servants of the crown in India who might have entered into covalent. to serve in that country. Tits hoc. baronet read the covenants into which candidates were obliged tomato., and complained of the expenses to which they were put, and that they were not put under pay, like all other servants of the crown, from the date of their gazette. Coder these covenants they were entitled to special pay for special services, and he thought they should get it from the date of their appointments. Sir C. WOOD said that in old times the directors nomi nated the writers for ladle. After their nomination they uerierwent a very expensive education at their own cost, and when they mired in India they were paid, and not until then. the rule being that service in India oould only be paid in India. In 1938 thou appointments were thrown open to competition, and an allowance of 1001. wu roads to the suceeadal candidate'. and so far therefore from their being in a worse they were in a much better position than under the old regime; and this was moved by the fact that there were two candidates for every Indus vacancy. Yr. VANSITTART confirmed the statement of the npht boo. baronet as to the expenses of the old system. He himself was a Haileybury man, and did not receive a rupee until be arrived in India. He did not know, therefore, why these poverty-stricken Dublin competitive candidate., who were not half so good as the Haileybury men, should corn , plain. (Loud laughter.) SUPPLY. The house went into committee of supply pro formA, Lod immediately resumed. UNDER-SECRETARY INDEMNITY BILL. This bill paaaed through committee pro forma. NAVAL AGENCY AND DISTRIBUTION DILL. This bill, u amended, wan considered. SUPPLY.—ARMY ESTIMATE& The report of the committee of supply on the army estimates was brought up and agreed to. CHIEF RENTS. IRELAND (STAMPS).. The house west into •otomittes, and • resolution wise agreed to imposing stamps on the tnosfer of chief rents. INTOXICATING Liguons (SALE ON SUNDAYS) BILL' Mr. SOMES moved for leave to bring is a bill for im posing restriction on the sale of intosicatiog liquors between the hours of eleven on Saturday evening and six o'clock on Monday morning. He said be gathered from the debate of last year, that in the opinion of the house some time was necessary to enable Lb* peaple to get their supper and dinner beer. In the present measure, therefore, he pro- M.cf.* give one hour for getting the dinner . a (A MENsta—Thank you.) (Laughter.) He also proposed to allow one hour, namely, from eight to nine, in which to get the supper beer. (Laughter.) Besides this, provision was made for the sup ply of travellers and lodgers. He +jibed the house to understand that the working classes themselves prayed for this measure. No lug than 903,987 had petitioned for the total closing of public•bouses on Sundays. It was some times said that such a measure would interfere with the liberty of the subject. (Hear, hear.) But look to Scotland. Would anyone say that Scot/and—(bur, hear)—Wee behind hand in liberty? and yet the sale of intoxicating liquors was not allowed in that country on the Sunday, and practically, that promoted the liberty of the subject, as in consequence of that law many persons found themselves at liberty on the Monday morning who would otherwise dud themselves in the custody of the police. Mr. PEASE seconded. He said the subject only required to be better understood to be better appuciate& There was no doubt that drinking habits were She caws of much EVENING, MAY 7, 1864. of the crime in tads country, and he believed if the bill were allowed toper it would be fired that there was not that interference with private rights which some members seemed to think. He could only say that thousands of his creetiessale bad requested hen to support the bill. Yr. ROEBUCK said it was supposed to be a matter of money that AV should allow • member to bring in • bill. In opposing the introduction of this bill his only desire was to protect his countrymen from what he thought was an infruigemeat of their rights, and as to the matter of courtesy, though this was said to be a different bill it was in reality the same bill that was introduced last year The ground of this bill was twofold. There was a body of gentlemen is this country who were called Sabbateriaaa and another who were called tor totallers. Now them two muddy streams of sentiment had united and formed • muddy river which it was dregremble to see and difficult to slam. These two sets of gentlemen had united their forces no the present occasion. Now why did he oppose this bill! bunt and foremost it was • law for the poor ; it was not • law for the rich. The rich man and the well-to-do man could always have his own beer and his wine in his own house, and he could drew his beer and uncork his wine when he chose. But that was not so with the poor map. The poor man had to pay a tax on his malt. He bed 'brays voted with the Chancellor of the Exchequer for that tax, but he always felt in doing so that he prevented the poor man from having his own beer in his own boom, sad that he drove him to the public-house. Every man who went into • public-house was not • tippler. The poor man who went into • public-house was like the rich man who told he butler to bring him a glen of wine or a glares of beer. If they were really anything more than canting howites they would pass a law which would include the rich as well as the poor. They would not only shut up the public-houses. but they would shut up the Star and Garter at Richmond, sad the club in London. They would not dare to do that, but they proposed to pass • law to purr vent the poor man going to the public-house. He spat csa such morality. They were merely carrying out their own opinious; they were velum; and they mid to the poor, " You shall have no more cakes and ale . If they passed this bill th ey would create great dissatidactiou throughout And when the hon.gentletnan told him that he repreentoff a large community in favour of this bill, he told the hon. gentleman that he represented a larger community _gigging rR He Presented a petition last year signed by 30,000 per sons against the bill, and when be went among his °Dose bomb he was waited upon by a gentleman who said• The people are entirely with us in favour of the bill." He an swered, "Provo that to me and I will *pm* it no more." They had an open air meeting, and it was carried against the bill by • large majority. A friend of his was in Scotland • little while ago staying at the booms of a gentleman in the neighbourbod of • waterfall. On the Sunday morning they went to kirk, and as it wanted some hours of the dinner time, his friend mid he would go to see the waterfall. "Glide man," they said, " you canna do that, it is the sabbath." He did not go, but they sat down to tipple. This being in reality the same bill as that of last year, he trusted the house would prevent the dissensions and contentions which would inevitably Ye -1 salt from its introduction by ref using the motion of the bon. member. Mr - . - OLAY was sorry the bill was opposed, because there wen modifications in A which bad been made out of respect to tba objections taken last year. Sir W. JOLLIFFE appealed to the house not to allow an agitation such as the, had seen before to take place In consequence of le&lation such as this. The compromise made last year had been accepted as satisfactory by the licensed victuallers Sir G. GREY mid that last year, in deference to the wishes expressed by many, he voted for the introduction of the bill, and be had no reason to ra vet having done so. It underwent a very full and ample discussion, and after that the house rejected it by a large majority. Under those circumstances, he thought it should not again be in troduced. Hs felt certain that if it were, the house would ultimately reject it. (Hear, bear.) Mr. HORBFALL was surptised to hear the hon. and learned gentleman (Mr. Roebuck) stigmatise nearly a mil lion of his fellow-sanntrymen as ranting hypocrites, sod also to bear him say that he would spit upon the bill. Such language was beneath the dity of the house. (Hear.) The boo. and learned gentleman talked of standing up for the rights and privileges of the people. Did he do so for those poor bar men who had to toil every day in the week ! He trusted the house would allow the bill to be introduced. Mr. PACKE thought the bill .0 oontoundiug the human with the guilty. He should therefore solo against it. The hoes* thee divid id : For the motion R7 Against Consequently the bill was rejected. The home adjourned at 25 =nut's to 1 o'clock. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS-DAY 6. APPEALS. GIPPS O. WPM This part heard appta;lfrOrntheDivoros Court was re sumed. The tuts were fully reported in this journal after the former hearing, and it may suffice to state that Mr. Oipps petitioned the Divorce Court for a divorce from his wife, on the ground of her adultery with Mr. William Pits 'Blum Hume, M.P. for the county of Wicklow. He was induced to withdraw this petition on payment of 3,0001. by the co-respondent. Having ascertateed that an immoral inteicourse bad been mobsequently renewed between his wife and Mr. Hume, be brought a second suit, which he agreed to withdraw on the co-resp.mident giving him a bond for 4,5001. This bond was set aside by the Court of Chan cery, and the petitioner proceeded with his suit in the Divorce Court. The Judge Ordinary dismissed his petition, on the ground that he ha* connived at his wde's adultery, and the present appeal woe brought. At the former hearing Mr. MacAulay, Q C., war heard for the appellant, and to-day Bir H. Cairns continued and one chided the argument, when Their Lordships postponed their decision. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-MAY 6. Sitting in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn. and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Moe.) a RE FITCH Alf ATIORRET. In this ease Mr. Archibald had obtained a rule calling upon Mr. Fitch. a solicitor practising at Southampton, to show canoe why he should not be struck off the rolls. Dist term Mr. Lush, Q.C., appeared on behalf of Mr. Fitch, when, in consequence of the peculiar character of the case, it was referred to Muter Brewer, who to-day made his report to the court. Mr. Fitch it app eared was a young man, the sou of &retired solicitor who formerly practised in London, and the main facts of the moms werethese. Fifteen boxes represented to cooled* 1,000/. worth of plate, together with several pawn tickets representing valuable property, were lodged with Mr. Emanuel, pawnbroker, of Southamp- ton, as security for the lean of 1,000/. The pawn tickets were afterwards found to be forgeries, and Mr. Emanuel was so fortunate as to get back his money, and he gave up the security to the owner. Mr. Fitch, sea., bad, it &p- Lerlent a like sum upon the property, and after the e LL ,Ae., had been given up they were taken to an auctioseeir's at Southampton, and .opened after notice to the owner in Mr. Fitch, junior's, mamas, when they were found to contain a pair of boots, an old hat, a tin coffee pot, sonic books, old hoes, half • dozen old silver 'moose, a pair of silver sugar tongs, an old silver watch, and two plain gold rings ; the whole of which were not worth more than 101. The owner was then called upon to re deem the property, but he was tumble to do so until he procured the asaietance of other persona, who consented to advance the money upon the owner's false representation that the boxes contained plate of the value of 1.000/. The charge against Mr. Fit:b, jun., therefor* was, that he, wall knowing that the boxes did not contain what they were re presented to hold, stood by and said nothing whilst the complaining parties advanced the money upon such a worth lees security, with which his father's claim was to be liqui dated, and the proceeds of which were so handed over to him. The Lord Chief Justine, in delivering the judgment of the court, severely commented upon Mr. Fitch's cooduct, sod the stigma it was on the character and professional prospects of • young man who bad just started in life. They. on the other hand, bad been induced to look with u ranch leniency as they possibly could upon such clisho- Donrable conduct, and, taking into consideration his ex. trams youth, and that probably acting under his father's hideous, and direction, they were disposed not to visit him with the severest punishment by striking bins off the rolls. In the hope that it would be •worniog to him for the future, the antiwar of the court was that be be suspended from practisiag in that court fur • space of three years. Judgment accordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—MAT 6. (Baton Mr. Commiasioner Goulbani.) Uf EX TUCKER. The bankrupt was a bill.broker, of Old Brad-street. The case was before the court yester.lay, on an interlocutory application, when it was stated that Messrs. Shoolbred of Tottenham-court...road, who had bees directed to act as pro secutors against the bankrupt, in the trial which bad been appointed to take place before this court, had retired from the proescutioo, LW would take no further part in the matter. Thereupon his Honour expressed himself strongly oa the aoudad of Messrs. Shoolbred, and said that it was extremely wrong. Mr. Sargood now, on behalf of Mean. Sboolbred, stated that they had been very much pained by his Honour's re marks, which might lead to the supposition that they bad been what miscalled '' settled with. His Honour said be did not suppose anything of that kind. TM position of Messrs. Shoolbred in the mrcauti4 world was too high to allow of such a supposition Wing en tertained. rood said that they had ceased to take any active part in the proseontioo, by reason of the unsatisfactory wanner in which the proceedings had been conducted, other creditors having the control of then. . . Hie Honour mid 6e remained of opinion that when the court had ordered • tion at the instance of any cre ditors, if they reti from it at the last moment they did exceedingly wrong. In putting the matter in the hands of Hamm Shoolbred, he felt confident that justice mould be dose to the case. I iir.i3;;iondMid them WU 1143 doubt that was so, and that Yemen. Sheaßeed would appear ou the out °COSMO& All tbay wished was that it should he uoderstood that then was no imputation as their moral character. PROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE.

COTTON GOODEL—Nascusarts, MAT 6.—The market for home-trade yarns has bees very quiet to-day, owing to the further &Frame in the Bank rate, but it has not caused much giving way in prices. In ahippiog yarns, also, the business done ham been very small, but prices have been remarkably strong. Spinners deeply under contract have in some instances demanded even higher prices than were given last week, and io some (but exceptional) cases have obtained them. The market closes without much business offering, but there memo to be no disposition on the part of 17;0:to give way. Spinners hold heavy contracts, and WI generally very urgent for early deli. very; but though banner is suspended so far as to prevent buyers entering upon new engage. tnenta, the movement of the Bank appears to cause but little tinasainess. The effect of higher discounts on the cloth market has been much room marked, and has led to an almost total suspension of purchaam. This is perhaps not so much doe to the price of money alone as to the fears, coupled with its advance respecting our continental rela. Manufacturers hold to their advanced quotations very firmly, and though acme of them hold large stocks of cloth, sad have lately been rather heavy purchasers of cotton with the intention of producing more, they show no symptoms of timidity ; but buyers, on the other baud, have been displaying mach greater caution than of late. Specs. tenon has been checked at once, and operations which were pending yerterdav, whether of a speculative or a Gone "N. character, were immediately a oned on receipt of the telegram ennouncing the rim of dieconnts to 9 per cent.
