IMPERIAL P. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MoNDAT, MAT 19. The Loan Canaanite took his ant on the woolook at fin o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Great Western R a il w ay ( a dditional powers) Bill was read a second time. The following bills were read a third time and pared :—Willord Bridge, Londonderry sad Cole raine Railway, Inverness and Abenkeu Junction and Inver ness and Roeshire Railway Ocanpanira, hollow and Kitmore Commons Indoors, lasdbarn, Linton, and Dolphinton Railway, London and Routh Western Railway (additional powers), and Halifax Corporation Bills. MODE OF TAKING DIVISION& The Marquis of BATH moved foe the appointment of a select committee to take into consideration the resolutioo of the house regulating the mode of taking divisions, and to report whether any improvement could be effected. The noble lord alluded to the circumstance that occurred a few evenings ego of the Bishop of Winchester go ing by mis take into the lobby with the " contents ' when he intended to vote with the "not-contents," and to the decision which was come to upon that occasion, that the vote of the right rev. prdate should be recorded upon the aide on which he intended to vote. That decision was advocated principally upon the ground that it was in accordance with the practice of the House of Commons, but he found that on the 9th of April, 1856, when • similar cir cumstance occurred in the lower house, the vote of the hon. member who made the mistake was ordered to be taken with those in the lobby into which he had gone, and not with the side on which he originally intended to vote. If, therefore, they passed now the resolution of which the chairman of ways and means bad given notice, their lord ships would be perpetuating a practice which was at variance with the practice of the House of Commons. He thought it advisable that the course to be taken in any future difficulty of the kind should be guided by the de cision of a select committee, and the same tribunal might also take into ita consideration the question in what case noble lords were to be considered within the house when a question was pat, and whether it might not be advisable to adopt the practice of the House of CAMIIIIIOIIs with regard to allowing • certain tame to elapse after a question bad been put, and before the doors were closed, so that those who were waiting in the neighbourhood might not be shut out hom the division. Fard GRAN VILLE did not think the noble marquis had made out any case for • select committee ; but thought the proposal of the noble lord the chairman of corcmittees would effectually meet such a difficulty as that which occurred the other evening, while other cases such as the noble marquis bad Alluded to might well be left until they MOM The motion was then withdrawn. Lord 11EDE9DALE thereupon moved his resolution, which, with a verbal alteration introduced by the noble lord, stood thus :—" That if any lord shall have by mistake gone out with the contents or not-coutents, the ease may be, having intended to vote on the other side, be shall wait until she other lards in the same lobby shall have passed out, and on presenting himself to the tellers desire that he may not be counted by them, he having entered that lobby by mistake ; and the tellers shall thereupon come with such lord to the table and infinite the house of the circumstance, and shell ask the said lord whether he was in the house when the question was put ; and if he shall reply in the affirmative, whether he desires to vote content or not-content on such question, and the vote of the said lord, se then declared b him, shall be Liken by the tellers in the house and reom by them accordingly." This resolution was carried unanimously, and the house adjourned at twenty minutes to six. BOTISK OF 001010N8.-.—MONDAY, MAY 19. The BYILALZR took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Bolton and Blackburn Road ; Bridge of Weir Railway ; Falmouth Water; and Shrewsbw7 and Hereford Railway NEW WRIT. Upon the motion of Mr BRAND, a DOW writ was ordered to issue fur the borough of Kidderminster in the room of Mr. Bristow, who had ecoepted the oftloe of the Chiltern Hundreds. CHURCH RATES. Sir J. TRELAWNY asked the hon. member for North Wilts wbolher he proposed to take any steps in that house in pursuance of the motion recently carried with reference to church rates. Mr. S. EnCOURT said that unless the government were disposed to take up the matter, he should, as an individual member, follow np the question which the house had sanc tioned at his suggestion last week, and give a notice on the subject on Friday next, with a view of inducing the house to affirm some miaciple upon which legislation should be based. (Hear, hear.) POOR-LAW INSPECTORS. Oar S. NORTHCOTE gave notice that on Friday next, on going into committal of supply, he would call the attention of the Chaucellor of the Exchequer to the rapermutuation of poor-law inspectors. SUEZ CANAL. Mr. D. GRIFFITH gave notice that on Thursday next he would call attention to the forced labour on the Sues Canal, which differed in no respect from slavery, and ask the government whether any serious steps had been taken to prevent it. IRISH DISTRESS. Mr. MAGUIRE gave notice that on Friday next he would call attention to the serious and increasing distress in the western and south-western districts of the county of Cork, and put a question to the Secretary for Ireland on the subject. THE POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT. Ile CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having moved the third reading of the Customs end Island Revenue -•••• • • • • Mr. DISRAELI once more directed attention to the serious position in which the finances of the country were placed, the most alarming feature of which was the occurrence of constant deficits. A reviving trade and a good harvest might poNsibly rectify a deficiency and create • surplus , ; but it was difficult to say that such weans could materially change the whole financial system where the ordinary expenditure mainly depended upon those sources of income which ought to form the reserve. But whilst the government admitted that our finances were in an unhealthy condition, they took no steps to restore them. The branch of our public expenditure which had most conduced to this auto of things was the grant for the military and naval aervixis, which, as compared with the year 1858-59, when Lord Derby held the reins of power, exhibited an increase of s,tidJ,ooo/. sterling. Why had we all this euormous expen diture, when the nations were disarming, and no chance of war seemed to be impendiug ! It might be a question whether the policy of iucreased naval and military ex. peuditurs recommended by the government of Lord Derby in 1659 was correct or not ; but one patent fact was, that that expenditure had been occasioned by exceptional and extraordinary circumstances. These exceptional circumstances no longer existed, yet the ex pendittu e still went ou ; and he thought it was the duty of the house to consider what was the cause of the evil. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had thrown no light upon the subject ; bat the noble lord at the head of the government, , 1 with the frankness that was hie characteristic, had tinheai tatiugly declared it. The noble lord said that France bad for a long time been labouring to equal and even surpass the naval power of Bingland ; and he agreed with the noble lord that, if she was contemplating such • result, and had been working for that eud, it was a ground for the increased armaments of England. But the noble lord stated in 00 same breath that he found no fault with France, and had no objection to her bemuse she had pursued that policy. There, then. he joined issue with the noble lord. If France was pursuing this policy of attempting to rival or excel the naval power of England, he was against alliance and against cordial relations with Francs. For what did that policy main, if France. which, as compared with Eng land, had • very small foreign trade, and no tranamariee possesahas, demanded the services of a large fleet. It meant that France was armiog in a manner which must ocoasion great public suspicion and disquietude, and necessarily increase the burdens of the toe-paying people of this country. That being the case, was France the pow- r that we ought to adopt us a friend and an ally ! On the contrary, in his opinion, it was ground foe serious distrust and jealousy on the part of England : nay, more, it would even justify England, if opportunity Wend, to declare war against France. Was it • fact, however, that France was following out this policy ! So far as he could form an opinion the French government had not yet realised the programme that was put before the govern ment of this country in lasi. The noble lord said that France was building more iron ships than we wen; but that was a question which was too much in its infancy to be produced as • test of the relative power of the two countries; and his own impression was, that if our relative naval strength was to be decided by armour-plated ships, we had a huger number of better ships and were building more ; whist in gunboats and naval batteries we had y e ...kik- a bly greater furze thau France, and, iu short, bad double the number of seamen and treble the ships of war. The real question was, were Drees preparations made by England on the assumption that France was • friend, or on the assumption that she was • foe. if they were made under the impression that Francowee our foe, what was the coo sequence? Panic, precipitation, eatravagoice, wasteful ness, squandering, blunder's& and inefficieucy. We got the worst article at the highest co 4, amt that moat be the necemary result of the inconsistent and incoherent policy of the noble lord. Yet this was the policy for which reformers bad rsooommed reform and economist, relin quished retrenchment. Rightly was the noble lord the bead of the liberal party; for their only remaining title to that once illustrious epithet was their lavish expenditure of the public money. Lord PALMERSTON—The right hon, gentleman takes a starting point in 186 ti, and he says that the relations esta blished between the government of which he wu • mem ber and that of France formed a striking contrast to the jealousy and suspicion which has prevailed towards the government of which lam a member. Bet does the right hon. gentleman recollect what led to the change of government at that time! The government of which I had the honour to bo a member proposed to this house • roes sere eminently calculated to conciliate the good will of the THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1862. Emperor of the French and et the French notion, as far as they wet attached to him. I mean the Conspiracy Bill. Who was the main instrument of defeating that bill? (Cheers.) Why, the right hon. gentleman. When I moved for leave to bring in the bill it was warmly supported by right hon. gentlemen opposite, who gave it their unflinch ing support. But the moment a motion was made below the ;gangway they thought, by throwing their weight tato that sale, they could turn out the govern meat—(obese)—they departed from the principles which they had only • fortnight before proclaimed, and they who had given me leave to bring in the bill, with unmitigated hostility objected to the seoood reading. No wonder that such a circumstance created an ill-feeling between the governments of France and England ; at least:an ill-feeling on the part of the government of Francs towards that of Teske& Naturally the French government said, "Here is a party who oome unto power, taking their stand upon that which we consider to be only a fair and just protection for our sovereign . They have turned out a government which proposed that meanies ; and they take their stand on the denial of that security ." But what did the right hon. gentleman say afterwards? He told us that we were within —not • day, not an hour—of • war with France after they came in. Was that the starting point of friendship, cordiality and mutual confidence which the right boa gentleman boasts wet the position which his government took with regard to France? Well, then, Sir, but soon after that time—m the Deli year—he admits that they deemed it right to greatly increase the armaments of th is country ;end making his comparison between 1859 and the present time, the right hon. gentleman admits that the exams of expenditure now, as oompared with the expendi ture which his government thought necessary in 1859, ix only 1,600,0001. What were the peculiar circumstances which existed in 1859 ? What were they with regard to this country? There was a war breaking out in Italy be tween France and Austria. Wu that war likely to involve us? Did the government of that day in any manner contemplate joining in that war with Austria? If that were so, then undoubtedly as far as England was concerned that was an 'emplaced year. But those reasons do not apply to the praise{ state of things. We have no intention of asking the country to go to war to prevent the freedom and liberation of W T . The admiesiou, therefore, of the right hon. gentleman with reference to our present scale of expenditure as compared with that which his government thought Deeeseary in 1860, is that when England was at pace—when obviously there wee no danger of war with France, because Frond, was sot likely to quarrel with England when d in • war to Italy—the excess of the amount of exptur• far the army and navy which is thought neormary now over that which was thought necessary in 1869 is oily 1,600,0001. But there are no circumstances lathe prompt time which involve an expenditure belonging either to a periodijeat gone by, or by pewiWiry to future events. Upon • former oo ranieotn laid we were still paying our account for the Chinese war ; we were stillincurring axpaow for the dis turbances in New Zealand, we were still in debt on ac count d our despatch of Loops to Canada, arising out of circumstances relating to the late troubles in America. No doubt it is impoesible to suppose that any government for its own make, tf not for the sake of the country, would not be anxious to reduce the public expenditure when a fair op portunity of making • reduction occurs. Lad year the estimates for the army and navy were reduced by about 1,009,0001. ; and if next year we find any of the operations DOW in progress can be dimmed with according to the circumstances then existing, lam sure, without taking any credit to ourselves, and saying only what any men in our position would say—we should gbdly avail our selves of any ommtmity of making any diminution of ex penditure which might be then found poasible. But the right hon. gentleman says—" Yon ask me if I hold the opinion that our expenses are too peat, that our army and navy are too large—why I did not eons down and make that statement when the army and navy estimates were before the house." The right hon. gentleman further says that was • futile question. I admit that it is a futile question, because the answer is obvious. (A laugh.) The right hon. gentleman has answered the question himself, because be says that upon questions about mu seums, education, the One arts, and science, are matters upon which everybody can form an opi nion ; and certainly . we have had the advantage of • great variety of opinions on these subjects. (A laugh.) Upon these point& every man is as competent to judge as the government is ; but he says that questions as to the amount of our military and naval establishments involve political considerations which must be much better known to the government of the day than to members of the house ; and that it is a sort of confidence which the House of Commons reposes in the government not to object to the amount of the force which' may be proposed. But this is not the invariable rule, because this very session we had a motion from the hon. member for Brighton (Mr. White) to diminish the army by 10,000, which did not meet with much support ; and probably the right honourable gentleman, foreseeing the fate of such a motion, did not wish to form the twelfth in the minority in the division on that motion. (Hear, hear.) But the right hon. gentleman gives • very manatee tory reason why he did not make such a motion. He says the motion either would have been successful, or it would have failed. In either case the result would have been such as he should have deplored. If it had failed, it would have added strength to the government he was opposing ; if it had succeeded, it would have produced to the country the calamitous result of displacing the present government, or of rendering necessary an appeal to the country. (Laughter.) Between these two evils I think no choice could be made. (Laughter.) Between those two evils be had no choice but to abstain from making such a motion. (A laugh.) If he had done so, not only would he have had to join the Brighton division, but, if I am not much mistaken in my recollection of very recent events, he would not have carried with him many of those hon. gentlemen who are generally disposed to follow him, and who do so whenever they can, consistently with that elasticity of opinion which they must be supposed to =n(Laughter.) But with regard to armaments, I ever yet heard from hon. gentlemen on the other aide of the house, especially from the right bon. and gallant officer formerly at the head of the military department, that our forces are too large. He has found fault from 'time to time, and last year more particularly, that we did sot make su fficient provision for the forces we proposed ; that in fact our expenditure was not adequate to our wants. Well, that is not an objection ; at all events that is not a view which the right honourable gentleman has this evening propounded. Therefore, I think, before he comes down to the house to propose to diminish our military establishments, it would be batter he should settle that question with his right hon. and gallant frieed, and when they can agree than will come the question as to the amount of distribution, and the money requisite for the diminished force. Then they will be in • better position to give us advice on. the subject. The right hon. gentlemen save that in 1859 the military force of the kingdom was 100,000 men. Well, that was just before we sent about 8,000 men to our North American provinces. Since then we have sent about 8,000 more to Canada ; and we have now within the United Kingdom a steelier force than when the right hon. gentlemen sod his friends complained that our farces were not adequate for the defence of the country. The right hon. gentleman then adverted to our naval esta blishments. He thinks our naval force too great. There again he has • question difficult to discuss with his col leagues, because not only did the right hon. lostronet the member for Drottwich propose, when he was in office, a retenstroction of the navy—an alteration which must num , sanly be completed only at • very considerable expellee — I not only did he begin at one time to turn sailing versals into screws. and at another to substitute iron ships for wooden ships--laying down the Warrior according to his own plan— but lest year, somewhere about this time, he came down to the Louse and made • great flourish about some information he had received from Admiral Elliot. The right hon. gentleman said that executive preparations were going os in France in the buildiug of iron vessels, taunting us with not keeping pace with them, and urging I us to accelerate our movements and incase our iron vesseb at whatever cast, and place ourselves on a footing of equality with France. This lam sorry to say we have not yet does. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman says that wheal his government was in office they had a communication from the French government, that the French govern ment gave them • programme, to which they did not object, of the amount of their forces, and I understood him to any that the French government had not yet ex ceeded or even completed that programme. If the genre meet of the right hioe gentleman were contented with that programme why are we to object to it? (Hear, hear.) The right honourable gentleman says, either you are friends of France or you expect to be her enemies. If you are friends of Framer you need net mind any amount of armament they aresarevinng ; if you are likely to be her enemies you should not imply object, bat declare war in order to compel them to stop. That is going very far, rather farther than some of those gentlemen who seem to concur with him might be willing to do. (lieu, hear.) But it is certainly much further than lam prepared to go. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman mays, " You hen , made no objection to these armaments—yea it i riproveear, h.octrnit:evlarneyer we rid sa iddidanlisorogbjoacft the had. ose armaments. It was because we objected to them that we proposed to increase our own. I will talk now of boa-clad ships. I am aware that in wooden line-of-bottle ships we have • greater number than the French ; but we were told not long ago in this house that the days of wooden ships have gone by, and that no wooden ships would stand against such vessels as the Merrimac or the Monitor, and that war at sea must henceforward be determined by iron ships, and iron ships alone. It may not be amiss to men tion in passing with respect to such ships that the Monitor la its passage from New York to the scene of action was as near going to the bottom by the sea breaking over her and down her tower—was as near going to the bottom as was possible without actually sinking. Then what is our relative position? The right hon. gentleman says the French government gees him their programme, and that it has not yet been fully carried out. The number of French iron clad ships either built or building—some of them launched, and some already at sea—is 35 or 36. [Lord C. Pecinr-36.1 The number we have built or building is 25. So that Prance is already ahead of us by 11, and their programme, accord ing to the right hoe. gentleman, is not yet fully maid out. lf they gave a stateme n t t o L or d D er b y ' s (Hear, hear.) Ido not know what that programme was. government which that government acquiesced in, it is tether too late for us to make any formal representation to France—thew, ben) — and, moreover, I do not know, when we consider hence is • great power, having great naval interests, and liable so be brought into conflict with other areal states, that we can reasonably say, "Yon ought to step where you are, and wait till we get s- head at yea' (Laughter.) But that bang the mia, and we being eleven I iron-caned ships behind the French, I think there is no ground for saying that in regard to our naval ant oe ;tl than to our military sstablishmeuts we are going what the true interests of the country require. (Hear, hear.) I shall not trouble the house with any further statement& I think the right hon.. gentleman jud ged rightly in abstaining from solder' the home to do that which he says would be tantamout to a vote of want of confidoom—namely, to diminish the amount of the naval and military establishments thin year. We shall be reedy next year when the circumstances of the year are before all mankind, when the right hon. gentleman will be able to form his own judgment upon them, provided ha does not trust too implicitly to those sources of information to which be has alluded—we shall be ready to discuss with him what should be the proper amount of our naval and military establishments, and I can assure him and the house that if by change of circumstances it might appear any consider able reduction can be made, worth offering to the house, we shall be happy to avail ourselves of the opportunity. We can have no interest whatever in accumulating es- tXlishnientaZaincreasing expenditure, and the charges and bindens on the country. (Hear, hear) Nothing makes a g t more popular than to diminish those burdens (Heir, hear.) Perhaps, however, it is not for me to say so, because my right hon. friend the Chanoellor of the Exche quer, in repealing certain taxation last year, did not make himself popular with some parties in this house. (Hear, hear.) That has frequently been made a subject of reproach to my right hon. *friend, but not daunted or intimidated by the reception which those reductions met with, I can assure the right bon. gentleman and the house that it will be ourduty and our pleasure to avail ourselves deny change of circumstances which by enabling us to reduce the esti mates may tend to diminish the burdens bearing on the people of England. (Cheers.) After some discussion, in which Sir H. Willoughby, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Carter, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer took part, relating to the assessment to and surcharges on account of the income tax, Mr. WHITE could state, on the part of himself and • I good many of his friends that if the right hon. gentleman persevered in the course he bad indicated they would forget and forgive his having, with his supporters, patted the government on the back in all their extravagant expenditure. They would be glad to hear that the right hon. gentleman bad seen the error of has wept' —(6 laugh),--and if he came into office • policy of retrenchment would be supported, and his government would meet with no factions opposition. With respect, however, to the foreign policy of the right hon. gentleman, the eentiments to which he bad given utterance the other evening were such as neither he (Mr. White) nor his friends could concur in, and such as nine tenths of his countrymen would re pudia te. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman the member for Rochdale bad intimated that the government of the country could be carried on with out any diminution of prestige at • cost of 10 millions less per annum than at present. He did not join in the belief that so important a redaction could be made, but be was strongly of opinion that five millions annually could be saved. If the right boo. gentleman would make such a reduction when next in office he and his government would meet with general support in the house and in the country. This bill was then read a third time and passed. THE BRITISH MUSEUM BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose to move the second reading of this hill. He said that on the occasion of introducing the bill he had stated generally It. intention. In point of fact its nature, object, and justifi cation, were best gathered from the papers ea the table, which showed that the government and a great majority of the trustees of the British Museum had arrived at the ccm- clarion that it was necessary to make • separation of the collections, and to remove • portion of the collections from the present site to one at • considerable distance. As re spects the measures that were to be taken, the bill com pleted in the main the explanations neoessary to be even. The site which had been selected was that which doubtless oeonne7l - to the minds of hoe. member, wxusly, Sout h Kensington ; that being the only desirable spot in or about the metropolis where it wu possible to have such a commend of land, at a moderate price, Oa would secure the means of almost say expulsion within the lifetime of anyone now alive—he would not venture farther than that. . Mr. GREGORY said it appeared to him that every provision of the bill had been framed with the view of setting aside and contravening the decision at which the committee arrived last year, as if the trustees of the British Museum thought it quite beneath them to brook or tolerate any interference on the part of the Home of Commons, which annually voted 98,0001. for the support of that insti tution, which perhaps they conceived to be their particular domain. if .the government could provide a imitable structure in a suitable position, and under suitable maoage meat, he for one would have no objection to it ; bat he did unquestionably object to spending 100,000/. at least on alterations of the Museum which he thought would be a discredit to the country. Influenced by these motives he was determined to give every opposition to the bill, not being one of those liberals of whom the right hon. gentle. man the member for Bucks had just spoken, who showed their liberality by the reckless manner in wh ich they advo cated every attack upon the public purse. The hon. mem ber concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time that day six months. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M. kLILNES thought they ware all too apt to look only to the present time, and that the time might come when South Kensington would be in the centre of London. There was no doubt that if they were for cheapness they must go to South Kensington. (No, no.) Those who opposed this bill ought to come forward with some project of their own to find room for this multifarious collection. He trusted that they would read the bill a second time, and in com mittee they might modify and correct it to the best of their power. Mr. Dan! Struotrti seconded the amendment, which was supported by Lord H. Latino'. Mr. WALPO LE spoke in favour of the removal of some portion of the collections, and observed that if the wishe s of the trustees had been consulted in the matter, such an arrangement as the bill contemplated would have been earned out ten years ago. At present the most costly articles were hidden from public view • and if the bill were refused the trustees would be herea fter con stantly subjected to the unjust reproach that they had formed collections which they could not exhibit, or the government would be forced to incur an enormous expendi ture for the purchase of the ptoperty around the Muesum. He thought that !whetter site could be found to send these collections to than South Kensington. Sir G. 0. LEWIS also supported the bill, on the ground that the British Museum was inadequate to furnish the necessary accommodation for the collections it contained ; and that if the requisite additions were made to the present building they would entail an expenditure of two millions sterling. Mr. OSBORNE would accept the advice of his right hon. friend, and confine himself, in the few remarks he had to offer, to criticising not the details or the number of square feet, but the general outlines of the bill. He found one omission in all the speeches they had heard iu favour of the bill. His bon. friend the mamba for Pontefract (Mr. M. Milne'', in his aesthetic speech, seemed to adopt the motto of Charles Surface, in the School lot. Scandal, for his notion of economy, when he summed up with "damn the expense." (Cheers and laughter.) Then they had had two speeches from trustees of the British Museum, who afressemed to be equally regardless of the matter of expense; but he (Mr. Osborne) would ask the house not to be led away by the speeches of British Museum trustees or by the speech of his hoc. friend. What the house had to consider was— (he offered no opinion as to the propriety of separating the col lection)—but what the house had to consider was, where was the money to come from? (Loud cheers.) If there was a flourishing state of affairs in Ireland, if there was no distress in Lancashire, and if there was a surplus iu the Exchequer, it would be all very natural for the Chan. cellor of the Exchequer to come down with his conjectural estimate of 630,01.011 t. for removing this collection to south Kensington but they knew very well that that 680,0004 would invo lve an outlay of a million and a half, and what he wanted to know was, where did the right hon. gentleman propose to get the money from! (Hear, hear.) What SWOTS they then doing ! They were proposing to construct a new system. It had been called ali great national uudertakiog. They know very well what that meant when the nation was to pay the piper. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) But he hoped the right hon. gentle man, and the trustees of the British Museum, and 'rechecks members of parliament would have some consideration with a view to economy, and would not run rashly into ex travagance, and at a time when we had great distress exist log in the country, would not enter upon new'and costly plans of building. (Hear, hear.) Aud, upon whose recommen dation was this new museum for the zoological collection to be provided! On that of the most profound zoologist of the day, Professor Owen. But had hon. gentlemen read that learned authority's evidence before the committee over which the member for Galway presided! Did they know to what his plans extended! Did they know that he called upon the committee to build halls 850 feet long to receive whales! (Loud laughter.) And there ;were so less than fifteen different species of whales, and there were to be halls for each. (" Hear, hoax," and laughter.) Professor Owen also advocated the providing of separate apartments for every variety of the elephant. Did they suppose that 680,0001. would build a palace for all these whales and elephants! (" Hear," and laughter.) This was really no joke. They were beginning to get into • most expensive style in these matters. The whole financial part of the question bad been kept too much in the dark. The Chan eallor of the Exchequer, who lectured so wisely at Man chester upon the importance of maintain_ Mg a wholesome state of finance, said nothing of that kind on the present occasion. When government wanted to spend money the finances were always wholesome, and yet the house was i twitted there and elsewhere with extravagance. (Laughter.) They were told it was the House of Commons that added to the expenditure and was the cause of all the extravagance ; but let the hones beware of being led away by such gees- I tionable matters as those of testa. Let them not be led away by the ,speoch of his hon. friend them ember for Pomfret, " What brought ill-fated Victor's goods to waste Borne demon (in the shape of a Chancellor of the Ex chequer) whispered, Taste." (" Hear," sad a laugh.) Let them delay this matter, then, until the finances of the country MVO =WA in a position to allow of such an expenditure. Let them test the govern ment to-night as to the sincerity of their premises of eco nomy, and show that they wished to place the finances of the country in • wholesome state ; if they did they could have no hesitation in supporting the motion of the hos. member fog Cialtfar. (Marl Colonel SYKES supported the bill. He thought that wherever was the loons of population there the national museum ought to be. Lord PALMERSTON—Sir, this is a question involving principles of economy. The curious circumstance connected with the debate is that those gentlemen in this house who profess themselves to be systematic advocates of economy are advocating that plan which will be by far the most ex pensive to the country. It is admitted by all that the present building of the Museum is ' chuck " full. With regard to natural history, persons who go there see specimens of animals huddled together in cases like sheep in a fold, in • state of crowding in which it is impossible to examine them with that attention which is necessary, or to study the ob jecia which they come to look at. It has been agreed by all that extension of space is required for the proper en largement of the collections contained in the British Museum. The only question really is, whether that ex tension should be acquired in the neighbourhood of the Museum, or whether it should be acquired, as premed by my right lion. friend, by additional ground at Kensington. Well, then, the question is, do yon prefer giving 60,0001. an acre for the land you want, or will you be content with paying only 10,0001. an acre? Strange to say, the advocates of economy, those gentlemen who are professing their earnest desire to pat • limit to the expenditure of the country, have • preference to pay 50,0001. an we instead of 10,0001. (Orion of "No, no.") You may have five we* or one acre, as youcbooes. The only effect of the bill is that you are to get the land you want [at 10,0001. instead of at 50,0001. Mr. HENLEY said he did not wish to give • silent vote on this, as it seemed to him, curious bill ; still less so when he beard from his right hon. friend near him that the sum to be expended was not quite agreed upon. But it was not on account of the cbascreement that he objected to this bill. He objected to it on this simple ground. Here was a bill proposing to give powers to the trustees of the British Museum to do something, and he was told that the enense was understood to be some where between6oo,oool. and 700,0001. He did not wish to preach economy, but he had always voted against what he considered to be extravagance. He thought that for that house to give a pledge without any plan being laid before them, without anything by way of security, was wrong ; and he would not vote for • bill wherein large expense wee to be incurred without • plan. When they had a pl.n they would be able to say whether or not it would be SCOOO - to go to Kensington ; whether they were going to spend 600,0001. or 700,0001., or double that sum, as these matters often cost. Withoutgiying any opinion as to whether the museum should be diva or not, he must vote against any of these short bills. (Hear, hear.) He thought it was • bad way of doing business. (Haar, hear.) Nobody pre tended to ear that the country was in • flourishing state of finance. (Hear, hear.) If there mums course worse than another it was to drag on • thing of this sort by miserable instalment+. When the ball was coos set a rolling, with gentlemen of taste each kicking it on from one to the other, there was no knowing where it would stop. (Hear, hem.) He should oppose the second reading of the bill. _ _ The committee then divided. Before the numbers were announced, the division paper was handed to Mr. Gregory, and prolonged cheers were given by the opposition. The numbers were— For :he reading For the amendment 163-02 The bill was consequently loaf After the announcement of the numbers cheering was re sumed for several seconds.

The bankrupts in this ease wore the peat leather &ekes, of St. Mary-are. Amongst the debtors to their estate wee • Mr. Myatt, of OngWon, in Cheshire, who owed them 2641. Anbeation far this amount was made by Mr. Les, the offl, emigres, by letter ' on the Bth of September. The natter rested over till the 12th December, when Mr. Lee wrote again, threatening • summons if the amount was not paid within seven days, and adding :—" Parties in the country are informed that debts out be remitted by drafts on any London banker, by Post4dies order, psi N• in London to Charles Lee, or any sum not exceeding 1(k. may be remitted in penny postege-stampe." Some °one spondee:is weed ; and oa the 18th;of December Mr. Myatt wrote, mlanin( • draft far 2641. of the Old Bank, Oongle ton, on Mews. Olding Sharpe, and Co., of Clement's-lane, mid requesting an acknowledgment of the tame. It ap peared that neither the letter nor the draft had ever reached Mr. Lee's office ; but on the 21st it had been pre sented at Menus. Olding and Sharpe's by some person who had obtained possession of it enrreptitiously, and who bad altered the name " Lee " to "Leg, and given the address of 42, Highetreet, Islington. Not receiving an acknow ledgment from Mr. Lee, Mr. Myatt wrote again ; but this letter also never reached Mr. Lee or his clerks. Mr. Lee died on the 17th February ; and nothing further was done until the 12th of April, when Mr. Edwards, having succeeded to the management of the estate, made a a writtenfeation to Mr. Myatt for the debt; Mr. Myatt re that he had sent draft for the amount, and then the facts cams out. Nothing was known of the partals who had obtained payment of the ban, but two of the 501. notes given in payment had been traoed to s banker's in Paris. . . . Mr. ii.ldurray,represWing the sesigoeae of the estate, nowoontended thatthe npreeentativesof Mr. Lee oughtto be made answerable for the amount of the draft. The rules and orders of the court preestibed the form in whili id t Lion wag to be made for debts to persons : • at a dietaries from London, and this form con nothing about bankers' drat* but merely maid : "It may be desirable for parties is the country to be in formed that the postmasters in post towns will receive rums not exceeding 5t., and give orders for them at the Ant oine* in London, which orders can be remitted tome in pay ment of debts." Upon this ground he contended that M x . Lee, having deviatd from the prescribed form, and having directed the money to be transmitted by beaker's draft by post, his representatives were liable fur the lose that had in consequence arisen to the estate. Mr. W. Williams, on behalf of the representatives of Mr. Lee, submitted that the rules end orders ware merely directory, and not imperative, and that Mr. Lee was not bound to use more than the ordinary care which would be required in the cased merchants having dealings with each other. .of. His Honour said that as between the official assignee and the debtor, the latter wen discharged, because he had re mitted the money in the way pointed out by the algid assignee. Then came the question whether there had bean any negligence or default on the part of the officiel assigns. Had there been no special rules laid down for his Odeon — had the case been similar to that of trustees or bailees, would only have been necesimuy that he should exerche the same care and caution as he would have done in his own affairs ; in fact, he could not have been made liable except on the ground of "craw negligeotia." But the act of par liament having directed that the official aisignee should be subject to certain rules and orders, and certain roles and orders having been laid down and issued, any substantial departure from those rules made the official assignee liable for the loss that might be sustained. No doubt he had desired to do the best for the estate, and them was no in tentional carelessness ; but the case of "Ex parte Hall ' (16 law J., Bankruptcy, p. 10, N. B.), where an official assignee was held liable for the loss sustained by a creditor whose name bed been omitted from the dividend ILt, was in a gnat measure applicable to this case ; and pe repro eantativee of the official assignee most be held liaMe for the ken of the 2641. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Hugh Sy!pester Khgehan. a police constible, was indicted for unlawfully assaulting and inflicting grievous bodily harm upon Clara Fullock. He plaided guilty of • common as sault, but that plea was withdrawn and he was tried upon the whole indictment. The prosecutrix. • delicate-looking young woman, about twenty years of aga, said she worked for Misses Peaky, milliners, in Forstonattreet, Shepherdess-walk. On the morning of the 18th of April, about one o'clock, she and six other girls who worked with her, were returning home from work down Minternetreet, Horton, when suddenly she heard some one running after them. It was the prisoner, who was on duty and in uni form. He took hold of her by the shoulders, and kicked her at the bottom of the back twice. She tan across the road, and cried out, "Oh, gracious, you have killed me " He caught her, kicked her, and said, ".low say I have killed you." She fell, and homme unmalicious, and found bonen onirecoves7 in a kitchen, Mrs. Wilgrove's, and endured peat pain in the lower part of her body. She was removed to her own home, and was attended by the divisional surgeon, Dr. Griffiths. She had been in pain ever since, and had not been able to pursue her naval avocation. She gave the prisoner no provocation whatever, but some of the young women who were walking behind her had been sing ing. Prisoner said he would look them up. She replied. "Don't, or we shall have no hot cross buns to-morrow." After that he kicked her. Cross-examined—lt war about 1 in the morning. She worked for the Misses Parley, and the reason of her being out so late was that they had been busy preparing work for the season. Two young women were singing. The police. man said nothing about noise, but said he would lock us up. The three kicks were given with the boot. By the Court—l had not been anywhere after I left my employment. The evidence of the prosecutrix was fully corroborated by other witnesses, and the jury, after an hour's deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm and a common assault. The learned Judge called the prisoner up for judgment. His lordship said the police were paid to protect property, the public, and persons. The court protected the police in the due and proper discharge of that duty when outrages were committed upon them, but in such a case as this, where a mod unprovoked and brutal assault bad been, as he had no doubt, wantonly committed by a strong powerful man upon a weak and apparently delicate young woman, the court war bound to give an exemplary punishment. The sentence upon him was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18 calendar months. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STRM. Edward Ovum, an auxiliary letter carrier to the N.W. district, was charged with secreting and delaying about 400 letters, which had been entrusted to him for delivery in the course of his duty. Mr. Peacock conducted the cue on the part of the Post office authorities. It appeared that in consequence of the loss of numerous letters addressed to persons within the prisoner's district of delivery, four teat letters were, on Saturday, made up by Mr. Gardner, one of the senior clerks in the General Post-office, and directed to persons within that delivery. These letters, as usual in such cases, did not reach their destination. The prisoner was searched, when two of the test letters (one oontaining money) were found on him. Nine other letters which ought to have been delivered were also found on him, and at his lodgings the officer disco vered a chest containing 3'J7 other letters which had been posted at various periods since February last, and which it would have been the prisoner's duty to deliver at their respective admen. Mr. Henry observed that an immense amountof inconveni ence must have been occasioned by the delay of so large number of letters. The prisoner was remanded for further examination, with the understanding that he would ultimately be committed or trial. Jusucz.—At the Davetttry Petty Sessions, the week before last, Ju. Whittock was charged by his master, Mr. H. Harker, of Yelvertoft, with " leaving service." Whittock said be had asked for three Sunda s successively to be allowed to go home, and b e d been On the Sunday in queation he again asked for permission to go home and change his shirt, which be had worn for a fortnight, and was refused. But as the people were ping to church be was sect by his master to Radon ; be then ran to Kilaby for his shirt, and got beck to Yelvertoft about half-put air.

The Limerick correspondent of Saunders' News, writing on Saturday night, says the telegraphic de spatch which I forwarded on Friday night I was only able to put your readers in poriession of the fact of the above horrible murder having been perpetrated in broad daylight, and while the victim of the atrocious deed was in company with his amiable end interesting wife, to whom he had been married only nine months. The deceased gentle man who was a native of this city, was son of Connell Francis Fitzgerald, Fog., proprietor of the celebrated Garryowen brewery ooncerus, and united in mar riage with Miss 'Wallace, step daughter of Patrick M'Namara, Fag., the highly respected postmaster of Limerick. The sen sation which the sad and frightful occurrence ham created in this city is indescribable, owing to the esteem in which the murdered gentleman and his lady were held by all classes. It now tarns out that the bloody deed was perpetrated by hired assassins. In this instance it has turned out that one of the persons concerned in the brutal murder belongs to the class denominated " returned convicts," whose pre vious villainy hail for a time, "relieved hie country for his country's good." The coroner's inquest was held this day by Dr. Murphy, at the residence of the deceased. There were six men in custody, who were marched up and down before the windows of the cottage, when the pri soner Beckham was identified by Mrs. Fitzgerald. He was then handcuffed. He is, it is stated, a returned convict, and one to whom such scenes are familiar. When the jury were sworn, The coroner directed the prisoner to be brought in. The handcuffs were taken off, and he was brought before the jury. He said he was hard of hearing, and requested the coroner "to speak a little loud to him." The coroner acceded to the request, and in a loud tone of voice explained the object of the inquiry, and this being done, the inquiry was proceeded with. Mary Caroline Fitzgerald examined by the coroner—l am wife to the deceased—the beloved wife of the deemed—l am nine months married to the deceased. We came here (Bikini lock-hill) a fortnight or three weeks after our marriage, and I was so happy when that wretch (prisoner) met us. I was walking with my husband yesterday ; it was about Wi ped 2 when we left the house. We went to see Kelly's farm for the first time ; Kelly was a tenant of my husband. We were alone; we went to the farm which is called Bri sbane, which is about two miles from this. I was always anxious to go there, not knowing the misery that was before me. We went to Kelly's farm and we were so happy there. We were not longer than a quarter of an hour. We were on return home on the big road, and were about half-way, and were coming along, talking ; and I saw two men, one wore a jerry hat„ and that villain there came up and said, "Staid my man. They were not Oisguised one bit. That villain (pointing to prisoner) said, " Stand, my man, I want your money." The other man came towards me. My darling pushed me away in order that ho might confront him. I mid, "Francis, dear, give him everything." My husband said, " I have no money ;" upon which the ' prisoner said, "I'll have your life," or • I'll take your life ; ' upon which lie put his hand into his breast, and pulling out a pistol fired and shot him. My husband staggered, and then there was another shot, which must have been from the other men, but I did not see him fire; and just convenient to that the two men jumped the wall. I could know the other man, who is younger, if I maw him. I have no hesitation what ever in swearing that the prisoner is the man who first fired at my husband ; there is everything about him in his coun tenance and in Lis eyes that compels me to know him. I know the prisoner by his voice. The prisoner was produced, and Mrs. Fitzgerald was linked, was that the dress he wore on the =mien, when she said that he looked larger about the breast, but that fulness might have been caused by the pistol in his breast. He might have had another coat ou him, but he wore dark clothing. My husband died in about four hours after the shots were fired. He died from gunshot wounds. The other MID had • pistol, but I did not see him fire, as I lost my sight, but I beard toe report of the second shot. The prisoner was asked his name, when he said—" Thomas Beckham." Drs. O'Connell and O'lliorlan gave medical testimony of the cause of death. One bullet went through the neck, cutting the windpipe, cod passed out by the base of the pole • the other entered through the shoulder, and traversed the body right across, breaking and largely separating the spiral bone. Some other evidence having been taken, In compliance with the request of the sub-inspector, the inquest was then adjourned until Saturday next the 21th instant. SUNDAY.

The or dinary kinds of Madras, trade, Kurpah and Bengal, which were driven beyond their proportionate value by the de. nand for thous qualities for America, suffered a winkle ruble fall, but for good sound Indigo of all dracriptions the decline was trifling, whilst for some of the finer descriptions of Madras prices rather improved upon February rates. The rp quantity of low, heavy, sandy Madras in the sale was very , and this qualit7 suffered a heavy decline, it being of an unsuitable and unsaleable kind. Buyers, looking to the nearnees of the next sale in July, have bought only for immediate requirements. The quantity to be then brought forward is not likely to be large, sod as the crop is known te be of an inferior character, it may ha inferred that good sound indigo will maintain its value. Of the quantity brought forward, it is estimated that 3,062 chests have been bought in, 2,384 withdrawn, and 2,381 sold, to which may be added about 225 of the bought in, making the total quantity sold about 2,600 chests, of which 1,800 are estimated for export, and 800 for home use sod resale.
