Speaking of the lamentable sad sleplosahltstate el the whole of our bad arraegemeets, be maid. • Vacillation, uncertainty, cost liness, extravaipuses, iessasess, and all the vices which can be enumerated are united in our present system ; the money of the country is wasted, and 1 believe such are the evil, of the system that nothing short of • revolutiom.ry reform will ever bring them to an end." (Cheers) He thought the end bad not proceeded to that length yet, and that if taken in time it (mull be carried without recourse to such an extreme remedy. Reforms must come, and they could be accomplished by moderation, but if postponed too long they would indeed require the cure of revolution. The noble lord observed m conclusion that Cardinal . . Maceroui had remarked that the Engliah *braided to boundless **Boa which nothing but the idea of liberty could render supportable. so that in order that that might Dot be only an idea he would sobs* hie resolution to the house, and in doing so he would ask Hunt to recollect that the control of the parse was the source of power, and that the exclopier was the battle held of liberty. (Cheery.) trir F. BARING said that if he thus presented himself early in the debate it was to mak the house what wee the resolution which the made lord proposed that the house should adopt. He by no 011141111 *poled either the resolu tion of the noble lord or the azimeente he bed ed. vanced in its support as ccealesive, nor did be think It would receive the support of the beam He bed air duly supported the amendments laid bakes the committee, but without going through the statements of the noble lota, he felt, although there might be biota, that he had much exaggerated the case.

The go vernment woe carrying out the moommeodations on the paha, mid^ the government were committed to it, and if the bow adopted the noble lord's mediates, then all farther mom would be Mopped. (Hear, hem.) On those seine be opposed the resolution. Sir 0. BOWYER hoped the Chancellor of the Ex chequer widd tell the 'home what had been dole by the Treasury la wry into effect the recommendations of the committee to weeder the board of audit more efficieet, be cause if the beard were to remain in its present state it had better be got rid of altogether, seeing that it cost a great deal of money, and afforded no reel security to the public. Mr. PEEL observed that most of the recommeottatioes of the Petite Monies Committee had been carried into effect, Aber by the government or by act of parliamest. But it wield be difficult for the committee to reeogniee their re gommendations is the resolutioa before the house ; for though the week were the mime, the seas was different, the revolution big node up of separate parts and tolaaaget, with a total dine gad of the arm. It had no claim, there. he., to the homed the house on the ground of authority, bat well shod Its own write alone. He replied to the s i by Lied H.

Mr. NEWDEGATE supported the tveolutios, the adop tion of wheel, he said, would be only reverting to the old system of parlianieutary control ever the public expendi tare. Though the resolutioa might not be in exact accord apes with the recomeneodations of the committee, it would hasten the amendments they reconirueoded. Mr. A. SMITH thought there shield be a committee appointed, not to supersede the functions of goverment, but to report in what way the duties of the present board of eadit---• body which he believed was almost solely under the control of the Treasury—might tee abased or extruded. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should like to know if the noble lard consulted the corn. mittee of selection on the propriety of entrusting them with this families? Lord R. MONTAGU mid he had no opportunity of con sulting them, as the Speaker signified his view of the subject to him only a few minutes Infers he roes to make his motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he wanted to know that, because the committee of selection declined the function of nomination last swim. The other object of the noble lord's mutiou was to make a change in the coustitution of the board of audit,. But why not leave the matter to depend on the recommendations of the committee no public monies' The noble lord and other bon. members had taken up en idea of the powers of a board of audit which was entirely erroneous. They thought the board of audit could exercise an eificieut control on the public expenditure. But the beard of audit had no ouch function. It might be called a board of verification, but it would be presumption on the part of the board °reedit to at tempt to exercise fur a momind any control either as to the posiniony or extravagance of the expenditure which the governmeut, promeding under the sanction of the house, might think tit to follow. (Hear, bear.) As to the ',re prol of his hon. friend to give the board of audit • power of committal end command over the ~ ,sco verunient, it would be • delegation of power alto. gethrr unprecedented, and in fact confer on the bawd of audit the power which belonged to the house itself. (Hoar.) To the principles lam' down by the ommuittee on path, monies be corkelly adhered, but their recommenda tions could not be earned out in a clay. With respect to the find lortioe of the motion, how the functions of the board of audit were to be divided between the board of audit and the other departments of state, especially the Treasury, he thought the laboure and recuunneedations of the committee would be the best guide they could have. Nothing would be so agreeable to them as efficiency and puoctuality on the part of the board of mita, which they wished to be carried to the highest porsible degree. With regard to the pay ment into the Exehopier of the pose lauded revenue of the clown, it stood on an entirely different footing from the payment of the gross receipts of the ether branches of the rev( sue, because they del not inky the landed re venue of the crown in their own right, sad they bad not the more plenary power over it as they had over the others. It was as thc labours of the committee cm public accounts that they looked as the best "minutes and guide for the speedy sad effectual fulfilment of what the noble lord de leted, sod as the government inteadied to move the reap p,intinent of that committee, be hoped the noble lord would not press his motion to • vote. sir 3. Nott'filLYYTE said there was much in the motion of his ooid e (rime! with which be mutely agreed, but after bat had just fallen from the Chancellor of the Exchequer he hoped his noble friend would sot think it seceseary to divide the hula°. If, however, the government bed moved the reeppouitment of this committee two or three weeks ago, it would Dot have bees to have made thin motion at all.

He thought the saliferAe l = by his noble [timid to the committee be were too distinct and too extensive MC u = with properly by them, and theedowe be hoped he would sot press his wawa in • division. He suggested that his noble friend abseil mil aseelled THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH l2, 1862. with the pledge given by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor al the Exchequer, sad should not press the booms to a division. (Hear, bear.) Mr. WILLIAMS said that the reasons advanced by the Chancellor of the Exeioquer against the motion were not to Ms robed satislactoey. The subject under discussion had been lesions the loess se►eral times, and it had &Imys . mut with an evasive answer. (Hear, hear.) It wee his opinion that the crown property would be far better managed if it were under the control of parliament. He found from a return which had been laid on the table only three days ago, that the crown revenues amounted to four hundred and eleven thousand pounds, while the sum pia into the Exchequer was only two hundred and ninety thousand. (Hear, bear.) In has opinion it would be most beneficial if the property lot the crown was under the control of parlia ment, and he could see no possible objection to such a course. (Cries of "Divide.") Lord R. MONTAGU, in reply, observed that he wu surprised the hoe. gentleman the Secretary of the Treasury Loci met the resolution he bad proposed by a miserable sub terfuge ; and although be did not wish to put the house to the trouble of dividing, yet, as the subject was an important one, he would take their sense on it. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the motion 3l Against it INTERNATIONAL MARITIME LAW, Mr. HORSFALL rose to move—" That the present state of international maritime law as affecting the rights of hel 'hermits and neutrals ii ill-defined sod nneatiefactory, and .sfor the early . attention of her Majesty's government." Before the shipping committee, Mr. Allen Gilmore, one of the largest shipowners in the world, said the principle that the flag under which • ship sailed should exempt the goods she carried from capture would operate very prejud icia lly to British shipping in the event of • war in which Great Britain was engaged. and that even now it was very peejuili chid to the British shipowner, because the very rumour of war or difficulty so eobaneed the rate of insurance of British ships that American and other foreign ships bad a decided prefer once. The witness was asked whether be could suggest a remedy, and his reply was, "The only remedy is to have an international law to do away with captures entirely. Ido not know of anything else." (" Hear, hear," and • laugh.) Or, in other words, to place the ship upon the same footing as the goods. Mr. Beasley, of Liverpool, in his evidence, ocnfirmed these opinions, and. as an instance of the effect of the existing law, mentioned that last May he had a ship io China which was built at mitt expeme, the order to the builder being merely, Build me a ship to beat any mortal thing allost"—(a laugh)—to being the first mho of tea of the season. But at that tints the Italian difficulty arose, and in the fear of Eeglani bumming involved, the merchants of Chios de termined to ship in American ships, and paid • higher freight than they would have had to pay for first-class British ship. Two American ships *Maned 21. • ton more than Mr. Beasley's. The evidence of Mr. Graves, formerly chairman of the Shipowners' Association, con firmed the statements of the other two withesses a to the injurious effect which the declaration of Paris must have upon British commerce in the event of • war, or • rumour of war, in which this country might be 011eard. This question was In fact one of great national Importance, affecting not merely shipowners and manufacturers, but the whole country. It was also • question of foams. They knew that in war times merchant ships required convoy, and he salted whether the mead-war would not be much better employed in fighting the enemy. He would not look upon it an a question of humanity, although a good deal might be said upon that wore. Some people said, "Make war as bad as ble, and every one will be gla d to ham 'it one' Bat that was not the general feeling of the gensig seems it the feeling of her Majesty, when in her eaNr is email she declined to issue letters of marque, in oder to restrict the miseries of war as mach ac pomilik Maw was it the feeling of the noble lord, who his visit to Liverpool stated to the assembled met ' hab Net the government were not inattentive to I raw interests besides the gland transactions of war. *was satisfactory, his lordship said, that at the coon menament of the Russian war we made arrangements whisk without dialaiehim oar force against our opponents, yet titl me\ Oviii the pressure of the war upon maiweatike Isamoinally. His loirdi also ex hie Asps that them esianations m ight be still K r i e rret a mehMiled, and that sedvatelpreperty would no longer he exposed te cppressien an *Ye side. (Hear.)

(Hear.) He (Mr. Horgan) Mhod no better testimony to the truth of his position tb the Queen's order in toenail and the admir able gambol( the noble lord. (liar.) They were told that naval lasses would object to being deprived of their prise miner ; he would not iamb the naval officers by setertuning each a supposition for a russet. (Hear.) He believed they were actuated by far more patriotic motives. They were told, further, that treaties were broken when wan commenced, but this was tamed on the declaration of Paris. On the subject of blockade he felt bound to say that the sentiments of those he had the honour to represent were in favour of respecting the blockade. He knew there was great difference of opinion on the subject, bet his own views were in favour of the blockade. Returning to the main question referred to in hie resolution, he thought that Ame rica had not been fairly dealt with. They were told that America would earns up the right of privateering. Why? Because she contended that we should put ships and cargoes on the same footing. The hoc. member read some extracts from the blue-books, to show that President Pieroe had ex pressed this view to the Paris Congress ; also extracts of Lord Russell's letters to Lord Cowley, in which the noble lord declined to apply the terms of the Commotion of Paris to the case of the civil war in America, and coutioued. He was there merely to slate the views ci the mercantile community. He knew than was great jealousy of motions of this kind by executive governments, but the noble lord would permit him again to refer to the speech already quoted, in which the noble lord seemed to give him (Mr. Honda') an express invitation to bring the subject before the house. The noble lord said, " The government always feels deeply indebted to the great commercial com munities, which are kind enough to impart to us from tune to time their suggestions for the remedy of existing evils. We know well that no executive government can be so per fectly informed of all the detailed operations of commerce as to be able without such smastence to devise those mea sures which may be beet calculated to set free the industry of the country and to give the greatest development to commercial enterprise . " (Cheers.) It was in answer to that invitation that he ventured to trespass on the attention of the home, and be asked it to affirm the resolution which he had to move in the name of the commerce of the country, and in the name of hureanity, civilisation, and justice. (Cheers.) The ATTORNEY-OENERAL said, what was contended for was an exception in favour of the subjects of a bellige rent power, whose ships it was proposed shoul d receive pro tection, so that they could so carry in their own ships their ' own goods. Certainly such a change in the law would go very much beyond any relaxation in the rigour 'of the maritime code which had been by writers upon international law. He did not ea s ;L ie ts ' it a the proposition WY novel that therefore it was not entitled to great and serious consideration • bat whilst he admitted that it was wor th y of consideratio n, it was, he submitted, • question whether the hones should take upon itself to express an opinion in conformity with the motion of his hon. friend, the more especially as anything done in that direc tion must be done not by any one government, but by the general concurrence of those nations who were likely to become belligerents. He had said that this doctrine had not been broached until lately, but he would so far correct himself as to say that it appeared from • statement by Benjamin Franklin that a treaty was entered into between the United States and Proms in 1785, in which there was an article in accordance with what Franklin celled his " Quaker notioes," it being wend that the merchant ships of the contending parties should not be liable to cap ture, l,ut this article was not insetted in the renewed treaty in 1799 between the same powers, and certainly from that time down to the present he was sot aware of any serious proposition having been made between any two nations to mitigate the old rigour of the maritime law. He would conclude by stating that as to the matter of law be was relieved from any labour by his hon. friend having himself so well defined the law—he had in fact disposed of that part of the motion, and there was no redress,* for calling upon the government to take any man in reference to the question of policy. Mr. LIDDELL mid the commercial policy which we had latterly adopted, we had thrown opus every branch of the shipping istainess to the mercantile marine of the whole world. No cue would therefore be so foolish, if we were at war, to employ ships that would be liable to cap ture. (Hear, bear.) President Pierce, in his message for 1556, stated that Russia, France, Bremen, end Hamburg were disposed to wept the principle of granting immunity to private property is time of war. The proposition was therefore by no means se Drivel as it might seem, but even if it was new, that was no reason why it should not be right. (Hear, hem) England, let him remind the house, had • much greater stake in this q u estion than any other power, for there was ens that at the breaking out of • war was likely to have nearly so much property at sea. We had retie quailed the manna ; and let us therefore seek so longer to retain the shadow, and thus reject the opportunity of teen raps, and robbery the property of her Ma a i r SS Ra houd cheers.) E had learned one thing from this de bate, samely, that it mewed to be generally agreed the course which bad bees takes at the Congress of Paris was a mistake, (" Na, no.") So far as he could follow the ima mate of its boc friend it appeared to be that because we had blendeeed es that occasion we should go still further in the dimities of car original error. Mr. BOWYER said be thought the question lay in a very narrow compass. This oauatry being • groat naval power. it was perhaps desirable that the rights of belligerents should be as widely exuded as possible, therefore it was very questionable whether it was prudent to involve this country in Each an engagement as the deolantioa Paris. (Hear, hear.) Be that, boweyer, as it might, that decluann was now an accomplished fact. (Hear, bear.) But what was the principle of warfare on land? If an army was numbed into • country, and conquered It, that arm did sot interfere with private property. (Hear, hear.) The principle of internatioad law with regard to the con queror wae, that he was put in possession ci the rights of the government of the conquered country, which might afterwards be the subject of treaty, bat not of the property of private proms. He (Si 13. Bowyer) never Meld nocienUed why the ease piled* should sat be ex. Maeda° maritime warfare, or why the rights of prima. =ne at sea should not be respected in like manner. wee an additional reason for this principle in the cue of naval warfare. It was this, that the conqueror could not acquire the sovereignty of the sea ; why then should be be entitled to seize merchant vessel.? He could understeod that it might be politic, it not quite just, on the part of a great maritime power, not to give up any be ll igerent rights at eft ; but it seemed to be only consistent with justice to say that merchant vessels ought to be protected. At the same time he concurred in the resolution so far as it went to say that this subject required the atieetion of the government itir G. C. LEWIS said that the question which had been raised by the debate of that night was one of first rate ins. pounce. (Hear, hear.) It would be of great importance to a nation which bad not, like England, • great national navy and a great mercantile marine. But in England, situated as she was. it was of paramount importance that this questiongehonld receive a rightdecisiou, and he trustedthat, whatever might be the result of the motion, they should not come to any precipitate conclusion, or one of which they might afterwards repent All international law must, in a certain sense, be ill defined. It was not laid down by any legislature, it was only collected from the de cision of the courts of different nations, and the writings and doctrines of different authorities ; bat if any part of international law was better defined than another, it was that relating to the seizure of claws of goods belonging to belligerent nations, especially after the declaration of Paris. There was another part of the question much insisted upon by the hon. and learned member for Dundalk, who had referred to • very able pamphlet—be meant the statement that Viol ought to assimilate the law of maritime war to the law of land war fare. What was the strength of that argument? In the first place it was said that all private property was spared in land warfare. Now he (Sir G. C. Lewis) met that asser tion by the mod formal denial. (Hear, hear.) By the laws of land warfare, as recognised by the most civilised nations and acc ording to the most recent practice, pri vate property was not ;respected. It was respected only so far as it suited the present convenience of. the belligerent army. (Hear, hear.) There never was an army under more strict discipline, in which the commander was le, disposed to commit excess by hie soldier, or showed • greater dis position to spare the country which was the theatre of the wee. than the army under the Duke of Wellington during the Peninsular campaign ; but what was the practice of that army ? When they arrived at • village at night the proper officer told out • certain number of men from the different regiments to strip off the roofs and other timber from the houses for the purpose of making fires to enable the troops to boil their suppers. (laughter.) That was a violation of private property, but it was the neetesity of war. He did not think that such an event was on record as &campaign in which private p rty was invariably res =MNo doubt in modern w arfare private property had uch more respected than it was in the middle we, or during the thirty yam war, but that was owing considerably to the forbearance of the bellige rent powers, and to the more humane and civilised principles which prevailed—not to treaties or compacts between those powers, nor to resolutions like that proposed by the hon. member. It was produced by the general softening of man ners and the general improvement of humanity. They might hope that similar ratite might be pro- Maned in maritime warfare, but they could not be pointed in the manner the hon. member had pointed ei& But there was another most important distinction between land and maritime war, on which the whole quer. tion might be saidto tarn. When yoar conquered a country, you conquered its government, and when you had conquered its government, you had conquered that engine by which the country could be plundered. (Loud laughter.) That vas a plain and homely phrase, bat nevertheless it did express th e exact truth. (Coetinned laughter.)

Be ends, usentioned this as an illustration of the way in giallo government could raise war contributions. But the Ns wee the highway of nations, and was not the sub ject of sovereignty or government, and therefore the only way is which a belligerent could exercise control over the property of an enemy at sea, was by capture through their armed) ships. With regard to the assimilation of land warfare and sea warfare the real assimilation was effected by the declarations of the treaty of Paris, when this country surrendered the right of privateering. There was the real analogy between land warfare and sea warfare which the hoe. gentlemen was in search of. A private individual was not permitted to Ko out on an ex ploring expedition on he own account to land warfare. The contest was un fitted to the army ai the State. At the same time the army was not restrained from seizing private property whenever melt seizure might be necesauy. If, unfortunately, war bad taken place with the United States, he did not think it Moly that England would have had recourse to the system of pnrateeeing against the United States, although it was not a party to the treaty of Paris. England had abandoned that right. He went to the full extant of the hon. gentleman in assimilating maritime warfare with land war fare, but be did not agree that the armed slim of the country were not to be allowed to take mercantile ships of the enemy. For example, suppose &g -land was at war with • foreign state, and the Beet was lyiog ad Plymosth--aecording to thitsroposition of the right hoe. geellemits • foreign ship t sail through the fleet without liability to capture. e thought that was carrying the doctrine cd forbearance to almost an absurd extent. (Hear.) It would be like interdicting . ourselves from the use of gunpowder or heavy ordnance m time of warfare. (No, no.) If the opinions oi the civilised world condemned the practice of the capture by an armed ship of the merchantmen of the navy, of comes it was competent to us at any time to surrender to that principle, but he thought the home would come to a prema ture and unwise decision, if on • vague generality— a formula which might receive any construction, but which did receive a peculiar interpretation in the speech of the hon. mover, they were to call upon the government to sub scribe to a principle liable to such formidable and weighty objection. (Hear.) Sir G. BOWYER explained that what he intended to say was Rutin warfare on land private property was not systematically seized, condemned, and sold, it it was in maritime warfare. (Hear.) Mr. T. BARING said that he far one certainly supposed that the declaration of Paris was still in existence and force, and that it would be permanently sdhered to ; but after what the right hon. gentleman had said he had reason to doubt. The right hon. gentleman not only referred to armed nentriddies which existed before the convention of Paris, as involving principles on which the government ought to act in time of war, and had not only said that that convention would be broken through in time of war, but went further, and said that no compact and no treaty made in time of pees was binding in war. (Hear, bear.) But it should be recollected that this convention of Paris was • convention made in time of poem, to provide against the horrors of war. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. LEWIS explained that what he meant to say was, We he conceived the declaration of Paris to be binding as between this country and neutrals during the existence of war, and equally binding as • treaty, though only a declara tion ; but if England were at war with any of the parties to that declaration, then, like other treat( it would cease to have a binding effect as regarded that bell t. (Hear.) Mr. BARING said that the treaty of Paris was • decla ration made between six or seven powers, including the great maritime 'towers of Europe, the only dissenting maritime power being that of the United States ; therefore it would act in reality, in time of war, as binding on all parties except the two belligerents. But did the right hon. gentleman mean to say that they were to discuss now whether it was a binding provision or not? The Attorney - Gueral admitted that the declaration wan thingof the put He (Mr. Baring) did not intend to digests the merits of that declaration. He believed that for the progress of commer cial prosperity some treaty was at that time necessary. Whetherit ought to have been carried to the extent it was, was matter for reflection at that time, but it was now matter of fact. England therefore had to consider the question that this being the law she adopted how it would act upon her mercantile navy and commerce. if he under stood the treaty, England must hold harmless neutral goods wherever found. Neutral bottoms were made to cover belligerent geode likewise. In that state of things whet would happen In case of a war between this country and France' Was it not evident that the whole of the commerce of this country must pow into the hands of neutrals? (Hear, hem.) We changed our navigation laws. He did not blame the government for that. It was • thing done. For his own part he wee for gradual and cautious progress ; but whenever a step had been taken, he was not for gosug book. He agreed with the right hon. gentleman in the sentiment that it was very inconvenient to discuss national policy on a resolution. He did not know the object of his boa. friend's motion, but he understood it to be to elicit au opinion from the house and the government ; not that he thought they should bind the government to any particular oourae, bat it was desirable the house should express to the govern. ment what they believed to he the feeling of the commercial interests of the country. (Hear.) This would strengthen the hands of the government in negotiating with other powers. Whether the motion should be made by an ad dress to the crown was • matter of minor importance, because the right hon. gentleman had distinctly stated that the government would not listen to the consideration of private interests at all. The right hoe. gentleman mid they might as well upset the whole treaty of Paris as entertain the question, and be quarrelled with his hon. friend for not agitating a question which it was thought was settled. The right boo. gentleman said, You make this motion generally, but make a speech on a particular point. But it was that particular point they wished to press on the consideration of the government. He (Mr. Baring) was as anxious for the supremacy of our navy as say one, but he could not see how that could be advanced by duoinishisg the interests of the shipping and commerce of the country. Did the right hon. gentleman mean to say that the navy would be lees effective if it were not bound to protect our mercantile shipping in time of war? Would this country be losers by such an arrangenuat ? Who had the largest commercial fleet? England had. What country would pin most by the proserwatica of the goods oar. vied I. its ships? England would undoubtedly. You say the object was to injure the weeny. What acontry was sore Wired in its eanneeres by war than Esg load ? (Hear.) The pecieseMen of the nonsense of other countries was, is feat, the puteetion ef English esenimerne. (tiler.) The tight Ma. gestlemea hod abetted to the of homes la Spain by the Duke of Wellington when b orm n pled by the necessities of the army. But did he mean to draw from that an t in favour of burning the vessels of an enemy ? Was it ever necessary to burn an enemy's Tame fur Jae!? (Hear.) lu reference to the hon. member for Northumberland, that a uc grus should be called to consider the question, the right boa. gentleman said that before it could be expected that a meeting of public men would result in the good of mankind, they must wait till the GreekCalends. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Baring) did not see why a magma could not calmly consider this question, and why some change should not be made which would benefit commerce at large and yet work injury to eon& The conduct of the United States was not a prece dent on which the right boo. gentleman ought to rest his oppositiou to the motion. He believed that sooner or later the principle involved in the motion would prevail. (Hear, hear.) It might be opposed by the pre sent administration, but eventually it would be accepted. He did not despair that the government would take the question into their consideration, whatever course the house might adapt with regard to the motion of his hon. friend. Mr. COBDEN moved the adjournment of the debate. Lord PALMERSTON said he bad oo objection to the motion because he thought the question started in the speech of the 100. gentleman opposite appeared to be one of the greatest possible importance to the Interests of the country, and the principle of which, in his opinion, and he thought in the opinion of the house, would, if carried into practice, level a fatal blow at the naval power of this country, and would be an act of public suicide. (Hear, hear.) He therefore entirely concurred in the motion for an adjournment ; and if any facility were asked on the part of the government for a renewal of the denote, he should be happy to give it. After a few words from Mr. Bracer, the debate was adjourned until Monday next. EOCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. Mr. H. SEYMOUR moved for a select committee to inquire into the present stet* of the Ecclesiastical Commis sion, and to report to the house whether the ecclesiastical revenues cannot be more advantageously administered for the interests of the church than they are at present. Sir G. GREY said the government assented to the motion. Mr. DEEDES contended that uo inquiry was necessary, as the Ecclesiastical Commission was working ite . :Z ua rtwli public approbation, and any interference by a select meth mittee must lend to retard its operations. Mr. KINNAIRD said that, although the hon. masher might be satisfied with the working of the commieslea, there were many members of that house who held a eau trary opinion. He therefore thought the committee • morn expedient measure. Mr. BOUVERIE doubted that any good would rowan from the committee, which be thought would Le prema ture. They had not as yet had time to test the results of the previous inquiry. He believed that the only use of the committee would be to dispel the delusions that existed respecting the commission. The motion was signed to. SAVINGS BANKS. Mr. S. RSTOOURT moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law MAIM to the security and management of savings banks. The bill would, he said, solely refer tt the better menegeneept of the local banks, that it would not touch the principled astral eontealood that it was merely intended to late:ohne by statute certain regulations which experience hid proved to be necessary. He proposed to have an auditor for every bank, and a regulation that no Larson should deposit money except during dike hours, and Fumes of more than one person. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it would not be convenient for the government to undertake legislation on the subject at present, but he would not oh. ject to the efforts of the right hon. gentleman in improving the law if it required it. He would therefore remit to the motion. Leave was given to bring in the bill, and it was subse quently read a first time. DOUBTS OF JUSTICE BUILDING.

Brown, architect and surveyor, was brought op our remand, at Bow-street, charged with altering his own signature to a cheque for the vain of IL,. so se to make it appear to be a fictitious signature, with a view to defraud the Bank of London, and also with altering and falsifying a great number of documents in order to support a charge he preferred against William Brittain of forging the signature to that cheque. Mr. Mullane, solicitor to the Bankers' Association, pro- secuted on behalf of the Bank of London; and Mr. Abrams, of Bow-street, defended the prisoner. The evidence, which was of a most voluarleous &erecter. including referenoes to various documents lettered from A to P, and numbered to M 13, and P 11, was proceeded with. It will be remembered that the cheque was alleged by Brittain to have bees given him by the prisoner in part pay ment of a BUM of 201. due to him for money expended sad work done upon the works of the Metrapolitee Central Buildings Association, is Bennett's-court, Drorydene, of which the prisoner was the surveyor. Is order to show that the cheque was not genuine, and could not have been paid as part of that sum, the prisoner had endeavoured to s ho w that the payment of the 201. was made by other masa, sad for this purpose he had made • statement which be headed is to the kink, together with the whole series of papers whisk he was now charged with having frodulently altered. The written statement referred to was delivered to Mr. Mullen, as instructions for the prosecution of Brittaia. It was produced in court by the witness Ed meads, sod iii the document marked D. In handing this document in, Mr. Mulleins °teemed that he had meowed an intimation from Mr. Abrams that ft would be objected to, on the ground that it was a con fidential communication between attorney and client. He could only say that be had never beau solicitor to the prisoner. Upon the prisoner allegiog that the cheque was fictitious and charging Brittain with the forgery, the Bank of London determined to prosecute, and he (Mr. Mullen.) acted for the bank, and not for the prisoner. The proceed ings were in no way confidential, or in the nature of pro ceedings between attorney and Mr. Abrams contended that the communication was con. fidential and privileged, and argued the point at some length and with much ingenuity ; but Mr. Cowie decided that the statement should be admitted in evidence. The statement was accordingly produced by the witness Ealmeada, and put in as evidence. A great number of witnesses, including Brittain, having been examined, Mr. Mullins was sworn, notwithstanding Mr. Abrams' reiterated objection that he was the confidential solici tor of Mr. Browq, Mr. Mullins entered into an ela borate statement of the results of his microaoopic examina tion of the various documents, pointing out that all the alleged alterations, as indicated by the assertions of Brittain and other witnesses, were in different coloured ink from the body of the respective do cuments, and in the instances of the several cheques were actually written over the stamped crossings of the bank. In the clamp attached to the pretended receipt of the 16th November "14 " had been altered to 16. The " Wm." on the paper did not correspond with the " Brit tein " on the stamp. A portion of the final "n" in Brittain over-margined the edge of the stamp, and had been " patched" and "painted" in an ink different from the writing . on the stamp, but similar to that on the paper (alleged to be fictitious). In respect to the cheque A, which Brows had accused Brittain of forging, the original writing was similar to the ordinary signature of Brown, lot ' in a more recent ink it had been altered and, " touched up" to Repair different. Mr. Mullis* produced a fez simile of the cheque in question, that is to say, a factinule as to the form of the writing, but exhibiting the form of the original writing in red ink, and the form of the alleged alterations in black. He also produced similar diagrams relating to acne of the other documents. This completed the came for the prosecution. Mr. Abrams said he should reserve the defauee. Mr. Mullis. then applied for the prisoner's committal on three charges—first for forgery and uttering the cheque for 71., marked A ; seconMy, 'or forging and uttering the receipt for 201., marked L ; thirdly, for forging and uttering the 10 U, marked N, for 181. ; and fourthly, for wilful and corrupt perjury in his evickmoe before the megistratere upon the charge of forgery against BMWs, in which be swore that he had not signed the cheque A. and also deposed to many matters now demonstrated to be falai. Upon althea* charges the prisoner was ounniitkel for kid.
