Bat the prisons of the despot of Naples have broken a spirit which no form of danger could steak. Mr. Watt attributes the wreck of his brother's mind to the early ninths of his ins t, before be was removed to &tsrno. He was Naples for five months immured in • dares so mall he and Park could not pain each 'ether widest difficulty, and into which the light of day was sanely permitted to meter, and fed on bread, of whet his brother has brought home a fragment, that he could hardly and a of hid soup, at which the= of sTe=engry rose. It was dung this the peer fellow told hi brother la one of his di ra that he found his mind Ping Wralig itt : " Z tilM, Ilk be was dent end amid get no exercise, he Om& la ambit the "lady by raise eves the wretched soup, ned s" bliviug entirely on breed ad water. The tardy reeetenienntee of Lord Palmer tea's goverment procured bla movel to Salerno, and here both he amid Park were mob bettor off. It was hare that the Bev. Mr. Pugh visited then. They wen entered to the light of day, had assigned to them • threw room, and in ether miner particulars the rigours of Inearosration were mask Maid. But relief came too late. Watt's mind was no leaser sound. He had been subjected to greet privations, end, It as add, gross not the but of which was that he was not allowed the slightest communication with the world =tide. He concluded that he was deserted both by his friend' and his mushy. In short, he became thoroughly insane, and hie insanity took the went portals and apparently the mos a i t elie to lese dinetion. Hs had no reed- Latino of baring attem commit suicide. Mr. William Watt saw Park at Salerno, sad his so. count of him is not much more favourable than that relating to his brother. Park Is liable, from the moat trivial cane, to fall into nervous tremens, which are sometimes followed by fits lasting an hour or more, but whether these Sae are gthptio, or what may i be their nature+, he cannot say. At all events, one thing s clear, that before he became an in mate la a Neapolitan prison, though tall, slender, and some what feminine in features, yet he always enjoyed excellent health. Henry Watt is 26 years of age. Park is 22. He to described as bring light -complexioned, sad very pre possessing in appearance. The trail, it appears, is to proceed without the presence Mx weeks et Henry Watt, and it is supposed that it will sill occupy or even longer. Mr. Watt describes the court of Salerno as presenting a singe and ghastly 'reticle. The prisoners, about 300 in camber, are nearly all young men, and would have been in the prime of manhood, if sufferies and the dungeon bad not effectually dons their work. They were pale and ema ciated—they all had sunken eyes and prominent cheek bones—they resembled a crowd of animated corpses rather than living and breathing human bedew. Then was pre sented by them all a uniform expressios el osenelesunoe, as if a common suffering had affixed on timer shrinking hoes and pinched features • common invoice. Some ha remarked to be without shirts, others wen affected with repabinelooking akin dines; and all wen so loaded with i that Park had to call for the .orator of . Berber to obviate • visitation from this form of ::By the interference of the Consul he wee to occupy • position at a short but needful 001 the sad and miserable crowd. Yet in spite of seaweed humiliation and the obliteration of external dr any, Mr. Watt thought be could discern here and th ere • hoe Hest betokened en intelligence above the rest, and our rated to his mind that probably some of the diatiguraticses before him had deso uded to their present lowly plight from the gentle and educated cleans. Mr. Watt cholera that the sight he beheld in that court will haunt him to his dying hoar. Yet, strange to say, neither despondency nor despair wen marked in the countenances of these unfortunate men. They talked and sometimes nailed. Death to them had sassed to be • terror. They were sheep arrived within the precincts of the shambles. Moray of them, Mr. Watt tells Ceti will not wait for the execution of the judicial sentence; diaries and death are busy amongst them. We have wri'ton the foregoing steatite:it In the presence end at the dictation of Mr. Watt, and before publishing it we have read it over to him, with the request that he should wren any error into which we might fall, and thus authen ticates Lt.

Viscount DUNGANNON presented several petitions against the admission of Jews into parliament, and against the legalisation of marriage with a deceased wife. sister. "FREE" EMIGRATION. —• Lord BROUGHAM promisthed a petition from the Anti- Slavery Society complaining of certain events which had lately taken place in the West Indies and on the west coed of AMos. Before stating the throumthancee to which the petition alluded, he (the noble lord) must observe that he was far from believing that those circumstanced had the con currence of the French government. He had not the least doubt whatever that they were entirely disapproved dby that government ; and in so far as they could sot he pre vented, they were deeply end sincerely lamented. It op vend from credible information which he had received that the local government of Guadeloupe had prod, mbr the pies of a vagrant law, a regulation which had an imme diate and direct tendency to rams to a state of slavery the free negroce of thst 'okay. Almost the only good act of the Provisional Goverment of 1848 was the onsacipation of the slaves to the French oolo ales ,• and this was, therefore, • rstrograile step. The reason he (the noble lord) bit so sum that 11 amid not have been dens with the sanction of the mother country was the bet that the inessure had been hthisted in our own colony of Jamaica, where It was hyena's that It could have re ceived any countenthes fries her Majesty's governmsat, In fart, he greatly doubted whither the sot et the takedal lessee to width hatediesthed yet caastreas.

A vessel eilhd the Stella bees fitted oat by ea old iftve-tredlag fend Maneilles to take npami pais ham dirks. By the terste of their contract the par ties were only showed to give forty dollars per head; sad es the Spanish and Portuguese (especially the former) offered seventy or eighty, they swept the market, and the Stella had some difficulty in making up her cargo. However, she did get together 930 "free emigrants," and sailed for Besse Terre, in Guadeloupe. No fewer than 340, or more than 33 per oent, of these poor "emigrants " died in the course of the voyage. The remaining 600 were landed at BUM Terre, and some of them were sent overland to the place of their destination, but 110 were put on bard a coasting vessel sad sent round by ma to another part of the colony. These " free" norm, as they were called, were treated just as negroes used to be treated in the days of the old execrable slave trade; 80 or 90 of them were crammed into the hold, and the rest were allowed to remain on deck with the crew. On the way, the whole of those under the hatches perished. (Hear, hest.) He thought, therefore, that their lordships would agree with him that ellj the predictions which had been mils with regard to this revival of the slave trade, under the hypocritical name of "free emigration," had been more than realised. (Hear, hear.) The noble and learned lord then referred to the tranmrt of coolies and Chinese to the Ease Indies, and said that recent invest4adons had shown that there had been less mortality= board the French ships than on board the English. He believed the difference might to accounted for by the prevalence of an epidemic on board the Engthh vessele, but still the fact wee as he stated, sad the French were perfectly entitled to the credit oft.

(Hem.) With regard to the conveyance of coolies, he could not think, as the noble lord seemed to do, that the present sys tem was at all satisfactory. Indeed a letter had been TO• ceived at tho Foreign-office only two or three days ago which showed that far more strict regulation. ought to be este bliahed than were at present in force. (Hem, hear.)

LORD CLANRICARDE'S PERSONAL STATE- The Marquis of CLANRICARDE having given notice that on Friday nest he should pat a question to the govern ment on the warm they tattooted to puma with r.g.ed National Education in Ireland, proceeded to refer to the luisoonottnaot be had made on the previous night respecting a notice he bad placed upon the paper for that evening. The noble mmaartgqilia observed that am what he stated had been mit , owing, no doubt, to his imperfect utterance, he weald now repeat what be said. It was, that having bad tatione made to him by several noble friends to the that the notice he had given, and the statement he had proposed to make, were at variance with parliamentary wage, and that U each a practice were adopted it might lead to much tnetavanienes, halted felt it right, after such repre sentations, and with the permission of their lordship% to withdraw his notice.

The LORD CHANCELLOR apps led to his noble friend to postpone his Intake. He (Lord Chelmsford) had been entrusted with the great seal for so short • time, and had had so many other matters posing upon his attention, that he had really bad no opportunity of turning his mind to the measure before their lordships. He hoped, therefore, that his noble friend would a ff ord him a little delay, in order that he might coneider what course he should adopt. Lord ST. LEONARDS informed the noble end learned lord that the bill bad idready received the sanction of the house, end that it had been sent down to the Commons, but that it wee at too late a period for It to be taken into conside ration.

Tieinotion wear/peed tr. OPERATIONS IN INDIA.—(VOTE (II THAftibb.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved that the first re solution of their lordships, giving a vote of thanks to Lord Canning and the other high official persons in India, on the Sib of February, be read, for the purpose of including in that resolution a vote of thanks to the Hon. Frederick James Halliday, Lieutenant-Governor of 4. ll4n e ital. He believed that the omission in the resolution pro by the late govern ment was entirely accidental. ( ear.) Mr. Halliday, who was a civilian, had done extremely good service in India, in the preparation of the oommissariat supplies and dawk con veyancee, and had given the utmost satisfaction to all persons with whom he had had to deal in the great province of Ben gal. The day before yesterday a paper came into his hands containing the representations of various ofiloers as to the extremely satisfactory arrangements which had hem made by Mr. Halliday. An Idnghelunan, on landing is India, was seldom satisfied with the preparations for hie reception. Quite the contrary. But lathe paper to which he had referred the arrangements made by Mr. Halliday were described as "all good,"—" everything good,"—" everything was arranged to our entire satiafaction,"—" all in good condi tion,"—" sufficient quantity,"—" good quality,"—" ar rangements quits perfect,"—" rations excellent,"—" the men received every possible attention." It was a very greet merit on the part of a public officer to provide for the troops and give satisfaction under circum stances of so much difficulty, sod it was nothing hut jetties to make a proper acknowledgment of each services. (Hear, hear.) He wished to take that opportunity of stating to their kedshipe that her Majesty had been graciously phased to declare her iatentioa of conferring a baronetcy on the eon of the late Sir Henry Lawrence, and that it was the intention of the Court of Directors to propose to the Court :=: tors the graat of an annuity of 1,0001. a year.

Mr. WALPOLE said it was his intention to move the re wrtdtment of the select committee t o w hi c h th e ME was by the late goverment. He would give a mate on the subject on Thursday night. ROMAN CATHOLIC SOLDIERS. O'CONNELL asked the Secretary for War who therCaegrad heard a statement that Brevet-1140r Ward, commaadbmg bar Majesty's 60th Riflas, at Arcot, had ordered two Roman eatholio soldiers to the guard-room for refusing to attend the service of the established church on Cheatham de=FEEL said he bad made inquiries at the Horse Omar& and found that no report had been received than of any such occurrence. MR IMPRISONMENT OF MR. ROME. Mr. BORMAN wished to put a queetiotiiotheClancel lor of the Exchequer on this subject. The facts of the ease were so well known, and had attracted so much attention, that he would simply ask the right hon. gentleman whether be had any objection to state to the house what those circum stances were, and what was the nature of the oonespond. SIM that had ensued between the governments of Sardinia end Great Britain P The FiiiiicsiLos of the EXCHEQUER—There is a treaty of ...YAM'S= between France and Sardinia, under which, Mr. Hodge having been arrested In Sardinia, on some allegation connected with the late attempt on the life of the Emperor of the French, his tenon was demanded to be sur rendered to the French government. But it appears that by this treaty of extradition it was not competent for Sardinia to comply with this request without previously obtaining the consent of the English government. Under these circum stances a demand was made to her Majesty's government, that Mr. Hodge should be surrendered by the Sardinian government to the government of France. We requested that the papers which had been seized on the person of Mr. Hodge, and which were the foundation of this demand, should be sent to England. Having examined those papers, and It being our opinion that they were not entll cient to warrant the committal of Mr. Hedge by a magistrate in England, we declined to consent to that demand. (Loud cheers from both aides of the house.) Pylons I My be allowed to say that there has base a public statement, which has been hey prevalent, that the state of Mr. Hodges health was of a very dangerous cha racter, and that he was subjected to a very severe imprison ment. We lamb-acted her Medesty's minister at Turin to inquire into these circumstances, and to place himself In eatamonioation with Mr. Hodge. It wee found that Mr. Hodge was suffering from a pulmonary complaint; but Sir James Hudson bad anticipated so much, end bad taken care that every becoming comfort should be supplied to Mr. Hodge, and bad demanded from the Sardinian government that his imprisonment should COIN so soon as the forms of law would permit. Mr. HORSMAN—When the correspondence is concluded will there be any objection to lay it on the table of the house 7 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The car respondence was very slight; it proceeded chiefly by tele graph think It will be se well sot to lay it on tba table of the VOTE OF THANKS FOR OPERATIONS IN INDIA. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thin moved that the name of Mr. Frederick Jame Halliday. Lieatenant- Governor of Bengal, be added to the vote of thanks already given for services in India. The mime of Mr. Halliday had been omitted by inadvertence, and the omission, outaideriag hie prmition. was a slur upon him, which the house never intended. The names of other persona had been proposed to be added by a gallant general and admiral. He appreciated the services of those psis., but their position was not such u would entitle them to a vote of thanks according to the usual practice of the house. It was highly inexpedient that the selection of name. for the purpose ahould be made by others than the actual government, and in such cases perfect nuenimity in both house of the legislature was essential. He ' treated th►t the names would be withdrawn. Mr. DRUMMOND protested against being precluded by their vote from expressing his opinion as to the ooaduot of Mr. Halliday, when the India Bill came before the house. Mr. ROSS MANGLES bore testimony to the services of Mr. Halliday, whose authority was equal la his civil capa city to that of the governors of Bombay and Madras, whose names had been inserted in the former vote. The omission of his name we an accidental cirmunetsnee, which he much regretted. He knew not what allegations were to hs brought 'gains! them. Whatever they were, be should be able to meet them. Sir ET LACY EVANS had always thought that the number of officers included in the vote of thank. was too limited. He did not think that precedent should be too strictly followed be =oh matters, but he would insist on the names which he had proposed being included. Str J. ELPHINSTONE bon testimony to the services of Mr. Hgliday. Lord PALMERSTON agreed that the power of selecting the names of the.. entitled to thanks was best vested in the executive. The name of Mr. Halliday was omitted in the ministerial draught of the vote of thanks, because it did not appear that his position and functions brought it within the scope of that vote. Subsequently the directors sug gested that the name ought to be included, to which he could not offer any objection. IV. OODIZINOTON, .11•••Zein 0. the lubme• VW- Srd by Str De Lacy Evans, instanced others equally of the honour. Colonl SYKES likewise mentioned other officers de serving of the honour. Captain VIVIAN thought that it was quite u great a slur to omit the names of several gallant officers as that of Mr. Halliday. After a few words from Mr. ELLIOTT, the motion was agreed to. APPROPRIATION OP PUBLIC MONEY. On t h e riOtL;t i;l 7 l7gre;d;igt;tie report on supply, Sir C. LEWIS said, it would be in the recollection of the home that the estimate, were voted bet year before the news of the mutiny in India arrived, and that the votes of men, their pay and provisions, were made la the supposition that the ordinery number of men only would be sent to India during the year. But after the news of the mutiny arrived it was necessary to raise and trazuder an unusual number of men to India, the effect of which was that the pay and pro visions, instead of being defrayed out of the army estimate% were repayable from the revenue amounts of the East India Company. It also became to bring in a MU to embody the militia, and a vote of 200,000 1. wee taken in order to arta in the payment of the embodied militia. At the name time a statement was furnished to the Treasury by of te e Wei Department, thou geded h the ar=e smUriz; other branches in oaths number amen who hod been transferred to the Bast India Company. The Secretary for the War Department led, however, proposed in men mittee of supply - for an ettattitast vote of 600,0001. on ac count of the embodied militia, and that vote wee adopted, it being explained that them wee a real deficiency of 500,0001., Which would be required for the service ef the present year. He did not doubt the correct- Mee of the informatka, but what he wished to have explained was, what the government proposed to do with the large saving from the regiments which were transferred to the East India Company—whether the estimate, furnished to the Treasury last year turned out to be correct—end whether this large saving could not be reedited The * CHANCELLOR of the EXCHRQI7ERaaId that after the army imamate§ wan voted bet year t►a bow would reeelleet that the bill far lalbeftlas the militia was paned, : t ea of July or is the g h a t August. The 018 • 0 1Pming that bill was, abe Preilia (Stamped ld. Additional.) [TWOPENCE; made for the embodiment al the militia, namely, 200,0004, was exceeded by the sum of 600,0001. ; that was 700,0004 altogether. Thas was therefore • altar &W alley o f 600,0001. to be eapplied, and the government thought they wee only taking the Fort Parliamentary course in asking the house to vote that 600,0001., without awing whether they could, by Availing themselves of the surpluses under other Haan, sae that deficiency under the Appropriation Act. (Hear, Lear.) It was their opinion that though they might, under tn• A lien Act, apply the eurplusee under other heeds io=tlte deft:Amoy, that was a power which should not be Atattteed when parliament was sitting, and one which ought no: to be szercired by the minister except in momenta of emerge:KT. (Hew, hear.) With regard to the probability of supti a ina' the 600,0001. from the source indicated, he should be py If that turned out to be correct ; but it was impoaaible t the accounts of the military expenditure could be concluded indent so se to enable them to form an opinion as to the saving likely to be effected under that head. But if the amount of saving was equal to the 600,00 W., or even more, they should not be able to avail themselves of it, because these savings wore now arranged under the head of acknowlsolgod savhAte, and formed part of the consolidated fund. (Hear.) The right hon. gentleman shook his head, but he had the atitho rity of a right hon. gentleman who filled the office he now I held which induced him to believe that the right hon. gentle man opposite was In error. But whether that was correct or I not he hoped the hones would not disapprove the course the I government took—of prefiwring to come to parliament for the vote. (Hear, hear.) Sir C. LEWIS mid he bad no objection to the eowse take if it was distinctly understood that the sulphas ol voteshould not be transferred to supplyanother. But =With standing what the right hon. gentleman esid, it MY Onspe tent for the government, under the Appropriation. radioD transfer the savings under ons head to expendltsue another heed, and it was to that he objected. Pot ettfo l t if there wee • saving of 600,0004 under the heed he mentioned, it might be expended o barracks end f= lien, or some otner item of expenditure in the War Depart ment. Mi. HAMILTON said that if there was a surplus it would be • declared surplus, and would fall as such into the ways and means of the country. (Hear.) li n r Lt i. BARING expressed his concurrence and satiate& lion with the course pursued by the government. (Hear, hear.) No doubt there was • power of transferring small savi tsoo,zt but it w should r e never contemLla m teLth: o t ti so ye large asi senior t s o m as tae militia service, or vice musk. (Hear, bear.) This was one of those points on which the house should be particularly careful, and he was glad to find that her Majesty's govern ment had laid down the principle strictly, and he hoped they would adhere to it. (Hear, hear.) Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that last year a sum of 590,0001. was taken from the transport vote and applied to naval purposes, and, es be understood the right hon. gentle man (Sir C. Lewis), he seemed to lament that something of the sums kind was not done in the present instance. The Cluineeller of the Exchequer took the constitutional course, in sassing to the house and *eking for a vote. (Hear, hear.) There was no limit to the 27th clause of the Appropriation Act, and now that act the government might take millions from one sorbs and apply them to moths:without the autho rity of Parliament. He thought the 27th clause ought to be amended by limiting that power to 180,0001. Mr. CARDWELL considered that the government de served great credit for taking the course they had adopted, which was the best undertaking the house could have t ha t • similar course would be followed not only by the present but by future governments. (Hear, hear.) The report was then received. WAYS AND MEANS. - The house went into eoetaitteeoisreieand means. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY called attention to the loose wording of the Appropriation Act, by which moneys voted for one department could, at the pkesure of a ministry, be appropriated to another. Sir G. LEWIS explained that the circumstance anus from the peculiar cireumstancee of the last sulks. A dis solution having taken place in the middle of the essa, an Appropriation Act was pissed before the dissolution, which caused a departure from the ordinary form. On the house resuming, The Mutiny and Marine Mutiny Bills were read a second time, after a protect from several members against the system of billeting, y In Scotland, to which subject General PRIM promised his careful attention. The Militia Aot Continuance BM was read a second time. TM Coramma Inc!mare Bill,the General Board of Health (Bklpton) Bill, and Militia Act Continuance . Bill, were also read a second gnostic% observing that, although them ware large oppor tunities foe the employment o/ capital in Ind* all th e information obtained by the differant governments was calculated to warn Europeans against any rash attempt at colonisation. After some observations by Mr. KIrfrIAIID in support of the motion, Mr. SEYMOUR argued in favour of colonisation in India from its nooses in Ceylon, and strongly urged a re. duction of the ammements, which, he said, prevented the accumulation of capital. This and other questions wars ft for inquiry by a committee. Vast benefits, he thought, would be obtained from the extension of our communications with Contra Asia. Mr. TURNER Mutated upon the importance of promoting and facilitating a supply of cotton from India. Mr. CilierliAK and Mr. NISSZT having made a few re marks, the motion was agreed to, with the omission of the words "and the formation of militaa, stations." Lord nen° moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to the medical profession.to Mr. WALPOLE mede no opposition, and leave was given introduce the bill. The house adjourned at twenty minutes to nine o'clock. SIRE. KERRISON, BART., M.P.—The high estims• don in which the public and private character of Sir Edward Kerrison are held wu evidenced on Monday last, in the pre- Natation to the worthy baronet of a most costly aul i =. =amtiniontal, to which no fewer than 465 sub of his tenantry and the residents in the borough of Bye and its neighbourhood, contributed, as an expression of their regard and respect for him in his various relations towards them.

SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.—Let evening the ennivereary festival of this institution took place at ;the London Tavern, Bishopegste.strest, Captain John Shepherd. R.N., in the chair. The - principal gnus ware, the Swedish Ambassador, Mr. Thom. Baring, Mr. John Scott Russell, Rear - Admiral ßowles, Mr. Charlie Pearson, Captain Henning. Captain Burstal, R.N., Captain Egerton, R.N., and Captain Redman. It was stated that the number of pat ante admitted during the put year had been 1,902; whilst the I number supplied with medical and surgical attention, medi cines, and medical stores, during the same period, as out patients, amounted to 1,627, making a total of 3,429. The sum received during the .List 12 months from the shipping offices of London alone amounted to 4431. b. Ild.; whilst no lees than 6291. 10e. 6d. had been contributed by the shipping offices at the various out-ports of the United dom. The yearly expenses had averaged 8,0001. The income of the society (arising from legacies invested in government securities) was only 2,6291., and the annual sub saiptions averaged 1,2001. Amongst the gentlemen who addressed the company was Mr. T. Baring, M.P., who pro posed, " The Hon. East India Company," observing that, should the contemplated changes be carried into effect, it would doubtless become the practice on social occesiens to drink "to the glorious memory of the East India Company" in remembrance of its many great achievements, and of the important additions it had made to the possessions of this country. „The toast was followed by an announcement of subseripticms amounting in all to nearly 1,0001. HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS' PROVIDENT IN. 111TITUTION.—The nineteenth annual meeting of this indite , . don took place on Monday lest, at the Craven Hotel, Craven street, &rend ; Mr. James Lovegrove, the president of the society, in the chair. The annual report for the peat year was reed by Mr. Lewis Lovegrove, the hon. secretary. It stated that during the ten and a half yeers during which temporary relief had been given the sum of 2,700/. had been distributed to distressed members end widows of members. Two caws wise liven, in which the amount paid in hod been as follows A. B." paid 71.75., and had received the large sum of MI.; and "C. D.," Who had paid in 81. Bs., bad received above 2701. The amount required for permanent relief was 10,0001, and of that sum 5,001. had already been obtained and funded. It was much to be wished that the hotel and tavern-keepers who have not joined would do so, and use their influence with the cooks and waiters in their employ to join without delay, so that, if the latter are overtaken by sickness or isidcatune, the society would aid in mitigating the same. The last financial year had proved one of great difficulty, and the committee regretted to state that more applicants had applied for relief, and the result had been a temporary difficulty respecting necessary , funds. The late and highly esteemed hon. secretary, Mr. Stephen E.Tapeter, resigned his post, and the meeting passed a vote of thanks to him, which he duly acknowledged. After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. COURT OF ALoisamm—At a Court of Aldermen yesterday Alderman Wire moved that ft be the duty of the Town Clerk to make inquiries whether any members of the court. or of the Court of Common Council, have become dis qualified under the 9th section of the 12 and 13 Vic., cap. 94, and that he from time to time lay the names of suoh mem ber. before the court. Alderman Humphery seconded the motion. The act is to the edict that any one convicted of fraud, or become bankrupt or insolvent, shall be dis qualified for the offlce of alderman or common councillor. Alderman Sidney and Alderman Humphery then called the attention of the court to the case of Alderman Cubitt, who bed been recently convicted of a misdemeanour for erecting a pier in the river, after he had obtained the permission of the corporation to do so. They contended that it would be utterly absurd to suppose that Bitch a women within the of the act. After Sir P. Laurie had spoken to the same " elect, Alderman Cubitt came in and explained that he had erected the pier at the Isle of Dogs without the slightest idea that the corporation bad sot the power of greeting him a license to do so. The motion was carried unanimously. THE CHELSEA BRIDGE TOLL QIIESTION.—LIMh night a crowded meeting was held at Lloyd's Aseembly rooms, Sloane equare, Chelsea, to oppose the levying of a toll on the new Chelsea bridge, leading to Battens& Park. The Hon. G. Byng, M.P., occupied the chair. Sir J. T. Shelley moved a resolution against the toll, on the ground of the park being intended for the benefit of the industrious claimer, to whom the infliction of the toll would be a practical barrier. The resolution was unanimously carried, as was another, recommending a deputation to the first lord of the Treasury, and the first commissioner of Works. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND COMPANY.—The annual oE this company was held yesterday at the offices - John ' &ttley Fag., In the chair. The report was on the whole encou raging as to the future prospects. It appeared that the tale of lands at Emu Bay had been delayed in the pert year through the survey not being complet ed , and the desire evinced to know the resolutions of the government as to the sale of public lands.

Mr. W. EWART then rose to move the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the progress and and the best means to be adopted for the precnotterri t t ropesn colonisation in India ; and the formation of military stations; especially in the bill districts and healthier climates of that country ; as wen as for the extension of our com merce with Central Asia. In making the motion he said he should refrain from advancing any theoretical doo tribes of his own In its favour. He simply wished to have an inquiry; to have the facts of theme, both for and against ooloniastioadgiven in evidence before • select committee of the house. He was aware that committees had sat upon the subject of India, melon after session; but although slightly touched upon from time to time, this question had never seriously or to any great extent occupied the attention of any committee. He proposed, therefore, that there should be an inquiry into this simple question. Those who read through the reports already made upon a kindred subject would be struck by the remarkable difference which existed between the colonisation of other possessions and the colonisation of India. In the other peesesemna there was a free develop ment of British capital, British industry, and British labour. New British empires were rising in every port of the globe, but if we turned to India we found that, excepting the military, the European adders did not exceed 22,000 individuals. He was aware that an objection might be made to this motion on the ground that events in India precluded the possibility of calarion ; but there were parts of India where the present time would be peculiarly favourable to the experiment. Mr. BAILLIE said the motion of his bon. friend was doubtless a very important one, but he must forgive him for saying that the time which he had selected for bringing it forward was not very opportune. (Hear, bear.) In a few days they would be called upon to legislate for India, and to frame a new government for that country, and he thought it would have been well if, before introducing • motion which intimately concerned the internal condition of their Indian Empire, his hon. friend had waited to see what form of government the house might think proper to adopt. Now in proceeding to say a few words in reference to the moticsi submitted to the house, he meet, in the first place, exprees his /lumen at the very sanguine views which his hon. friend entertained of the possibility of colonising India with Euro peans. (Hem.) In all the reports which he had met with on the subject, it was asserted that even in the hill districts of India Europeans would not live beyond the third sreneration. (Hear, hear.) The establishment of military stations in the Gina was • very favourite theory with many persons ; but be was assured that if the scheme was adopted it would prove most injurious to the troops themselves ; who, on descending the plains, after living in an agreeable climate, would be found unlit for active duty. Moreover, he put it to his hon. friend whether it would be just to the people of India to all upon them to !say, as be had proposed to do, the ex pense of establishing such colonies. India was a highly peopled country a country where labour was exceedingly cheap, and if colonies were to be established, Ragland, by whom the colonists would be seat forth, should certainly bmr the expense. Even if the thing would not be unjust, it would still be impracticable. He took it for granted that hie hon. friend expected that earmista who went out to India from this country would take with them a certain amount of capital. lie maid not propose to send mere labourers to • country when labour was so cheap. But what Englishman would take his capital 10,000 miles from his own country to establish himself in India without reasonable security foe obtaining a good return; and who would say that a good return could be obtained in the hill districts of India P The government had not the slightest wish to prevent inquiry. They thought that the present time was inopportune, and that his hon. friend would do well to postpone his motion till next year; but at the same time if his hon. friend wished to have an inquiry se once, they would not throw any obstacle in the way. He should therefore leave the question with his hon. friend. Mr. EWART said he was, in common with many other members on both sides of the house, so desirous of an inquiry, that he must accept his hon. friend's (Mr. bullies) offer. The question having been put, Colonel SYKES stud he regretted very much that the hon. member for Dumfries had not acceded to the suggestion which had just been muds to him. The directors of the BM India Company had anticipated the hon. geetlemen's whites by sending out orders in Sep tember, 1866, for such inquiries as he now wished to have made by means of a committee ; and he had that evening placed the Information obtained in stance Tthe authorities in India In the hon. gentleman's da. e colonising of the plains of India had been shown to be quite impracticable. :Why the natives of India would in certain months of the year be very glad to get rid of their skins to cool themselves. (Laughter.) What pros pect, then, was there of agricultural labourers from this country being willing to settle in India f Them, in the hill districts it was hardly Feasible to obtain a spot of more than 100 yards square and fit to be cultivated; and there was to be added to this the fact that the most va luable pardon of the exports from India could not be grown la the Mlle. (Hear, hear.)) air I. ELPIIINOTONI hoped that the papers taloned to by Mr. Bailie would be placed on the table. From his ex maim* in India he must say that the statements nude by the gallant member who bed just sat down were entirely cor net. He doubted, hedged, if throughout all India a fern of 600 UM could be °Mend fit for cultivation. Certainly it could not to obtained in the southern part of the peninsula. Mr. MANGLES aimed to the lame effect, supporting his views bp to doennowtery evidence. He defended the conduct of Indian authorities in relation to this
