NOTICE OP METRATOMAX WOI:KHOL'%rs.—By Lord RAYNHAN, for the 19th inst., a select committee to inquire into the sd miniMration of the metropolitan workhouses. THE LICENSING SYSTEM. Hr. HARDY irked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it wee his intention to inuodum any 1N1060111 . 11 is the present seeehin 60 alter the ey stein of Longing alehouses, beerhotases, and other places of public resort, re freshment, sad entertainment now in force, or for the better regulation of such houes and places P Sir G. GREY replied that, to aeconlanco with an intima tion given beat eeemon, he bad consalt r. d the aubject, and bad had many tommunhetions with the pers. rte ,“nnacted with theme lweneed houses and places of ri Non. and with others who hal paid attention to It in the ir.ter,t of mo rality; but he IVY not at present prepare,' to lay any bill upon the tell , enil•dyinc thole, amendments in the existing system whi di he felt were niseratry. He hoped, however, in the eourae of the motion to be ablo to present a bill for the better reguLitNai of be...thou/es and other places of public resort, refreaLmact, and entertainment. and, connected with it, for nn alteration in the present system of grunting harness (Rear.) DIVORCE ACT. Mr. LYOON inquired whether it was the intention of her Majesty's government to bring in a bill to amend the Divorce Am of last session in reference to affidavits, which, in the opinion of the judge ordinary, could only be made before the court sitting in London? Whether it was tho intention of her Majesty's government to bring in a bill to extend the law adivorce to Ireland, and those portions of her Majesty's dominions which were left unaffected by the act of last The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, replying to the second question, said that certain bills were under consideration re lating to ecclesiastical matters in Ireland, but there were dialculties in the way, and the bills were not yet matured, nor could he state positively that they would be brought in daring the pretent beaston. In refertmotto the fine question, than wee probably a nenesehy for some further interference in repaid to atildavite in the Probate Court, and perhaps it might become a subjoin for a measure: during the tonne of the session. THE MORTALITY IN THE GUARDS. Captain ANNESLEY asked whether the government had received any report from the swimming of Foot Guards proving that the morts:ity, instead of Going 22 per 1,000, wee little more Minkel( that amount in those regi ments._ _ _ Sir J. RAMSDEN had received such s report, which ap peared to show that the mortality was lower than had been reported by the medical cemm'seioners, but the difference arose in this way. The meliesl commissioners' returns were bawd on the average of fifteen years down to 1863, while the report to which the hon. and gallant officer alluded wee cal culated on the results of the last eighteen months only. . - CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS. Mr. S. BERKELEY wished to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whoa it was Zia intention to pr,.pose to submit the Comma Practices Prevention Act to the investigation of a committee? Lord FALMERSTON would take an early opportunity of propotWs the appointment of a committee on the subject. INCLUBERED ESTATES COURT (IRELAND). Mr. BAOWELL inquired of the Attorney-General for Ireland whether he was prepaid to state the course which the government intended to mks relative to the Encumbered Estates Court? Mr. J. FITZGERALD stated that It w intended shortly to Introdacs a manure to perpetuate the system under which encumbered estates were now disposed of In Ireland. (Heir. hear.) There would be other provisions for the transfer of estates and for extending the provisions of the act, so as to make it embrace unencumbered estate*. (Hear, hear.) He hupect to lay the bill on the table in the course of next week or the week after. u usual. It was but nature' tkat the relatioes of the offioars engaged in the operations should wish to see the names of their relatives in COI2IIIIXiC4I with the offieial acknowledgment of e m i r seirices, and it had been his anxiona care to commu nicate every information of that nature as soon as It cause to hand. He would make further inquiry, but the noble lord was aware that it would loot be regular to communicate despatches from any other than official warm, lest unfounded Information s ho uld be published that might give rise to disappointment. THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.—MR. SAMNA TYN E. Viscount BURY rose to cell the attention of the Secretary of stab for the Colonies to a re p or t o f a public meetrg s bn. at the Red River Settlement, la which it was alleged that a British subject had been imprisoned by the authorities of the Hudson'. Bay Company, on suspicion of having infringed the exclusive right of trade of the company, and to inquire what inatractiona were given to the officer commanding a party of the Canadian Rifles, who were stated to have acted es the occasion is question under the directions of a chief foam of the company. In explanation, he stated that a Mr. Ban natyne bad gone up into the territory of the Hudson's Bay Company, and on his way was arrested at a place called Norway House oa the Red River, and was sent down the river in the eua tody, as wan alleged, of • party of the Canadian Rills. He was not detained, bat returned to Canada. He was informed that Mr. Bannatyne we. about to lay the question of his erred in the law court. in Canada, and he (Lord Bury) was content to lave that part of the matter there, but what he wished to know wee with respect to the instructions given to the Canadian Mr. ROEBUCK—As the Secretary for tho Colonies out only answer once, I will sulk him a question now. I wish to know if the governmeet in prepared to do anything with re gard to the Hudeon's Bay Company, in pursuance of the re tommendations of • committee of last year Mr. LABOCCHERE maid, in answer to the question of his noble friend, that he bed received no amount of the public meeting at the Red River to which he referred, but as far as his information went, the outline of what took place was this. Mr. Bannatyne, who was formerly in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company, and who resided on the Red River, started off into the interior, with the avowal proposed of entering into some arrangement with the Indians, and on arriving at Norway House, his program wan stopped by the factor of the Hudson's Bay Company, who told him he woe about to do an unlawful act. He wen not imprisoned, but only prevented going on ; bet it wee awned that the warrant for his arrest wee irregular. It i. that in the canoe in which he came back down the Re l dC l : a party of the Canadian Rifles, who were on their way down the river, were also conveyed. That gave rim to a notion in the settlement that the Rifles had something to do with his arrest. That was not the case, their proton°a being a mere accident. The Canadian Rifles had no special instructions for their conduct; but their duties were the same as the ordinary duties of the other troops of the Queen, and they would only aid the civil power when regularly called upon. He (Mr. imbouchers) behaved that Mr. Bannatyne had brought an action Against the factor of the company, and that the company had also brought an action against him. He believed, however, that Mr. Ban natyne had made an appeal to the directors of the company at home, and he awaited their decision beteg ha took el gal proceedings, and that the company had instructed their governor in the colony to inquire into and try to settle the matter. With regard to the question of his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Roebuck), he could assure him that the govern ment, haying regard to the great interests connected with the Hudson's Bay Company in North America, bad during the recess carefully considered the report of ties committee and taken measures in conformity with that report. It had been his duty to inform the Hudson's Bay Company that the govern ment intended to resume the direct government and possession of the colony—Omar, hail—and to sever all connexion between it and the Hudson'. Bay Company. Hs had also stated that the government was disposed to renew their for en clones trading in the territory on condition that they only founded settlements with the authority of the government. He thowlit that with regard to the two questions of renewing the &atter of the company and the boundary line of Ha pset'. Land, the government ought not to step in to in terfere with any rights of exclusive trading which the company might have ander their charter; and with regard to the boundary fine between Canada and Rupert's Laud, the 'mamma had dome all they could to have that settled, and it had been arranged that it should be reger7 " d to the Judicial Committee of the Priv, Council.

Lo PALMERSTON—I think the hon, gentleman would have shown more good Late—(loud and continued cheering, and cries of " No, no ")—and I think would have displayed more of a spirit of candour and justice, if. Instead of assuming in his statements the truth of the whole quer tine, he had contented himself with salving how the recog nised facts really stand. (Hear, bear.) The hon. gentleman iniplied that in the whole course of his oboervations. Mr. STIRLING—I did nut do so. (" Oh," " Order," and cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON—I adhere to what I have said, that the only Inference that can be drawn from the observa tions of the hon. gentleman is, that he means to assume, till the contrary is stated, that the sum of money left by the first Napoleon to Canal= was deliberately paid by the present Emperor of the French. (" Hear," and cheers.) That assertion absolutely fails. (Hear, hear.) There is not the slightest foundation for it—(cheers, and "Hear, hear ") —and it was the duty of the hon. member, and every other person who had any doubt in a matter so peculiar and so deli cate with regard to national relations, to have taken the trouble, which Le might have taken privately, toascertain how the facts stood before ho brought it so offensively for ward. (Great cheering) I will tall the hon. member and the house what the facts are. It Is quite true that there was a 4ncy bequeathed to CantMem by the first Napoleon by a will, the executors of which were General Bertrand end General Montholon. Between the years 1823 and 1826 the exeeutors in question thought it their duty, on application 'being trade to them by Canton, to bane to him cer tain gums on account of the legacy ; but the go vernment of that day had no participation whatever in these issues. It I. unnecessary for me to soy that the soveretpn who then eat on the throne was a member of the elder branch of the family of Bourbon, who owed his throne to the victories of the Duke of Wellington, and could not have been cognisant of, or approved of, the payment of that legacy. Nevertheless, the executors thought it their duty, between the years 1823 and 1826, to issue a portion of that legacy. When the present Emperor of the French came to the throne, he found that a portion of the legacies under the will had not boon paid, sad he appointed a oommission to carry out the bequests of the will. To those commissioners the widow of Cantillon applied for the balance duo to him, amounting to about twelve hundred francs. What did the commissioners do ? They rcfueed to Wens say of the money, alleging that in their opinion the testator must have laboured under mental aberration—(loud cheers)—when he made such a bequest, end that they did not consider it a part of their duty to give effect to that be quest. (Loud cheers.) That was, on the part of the com missioners, an entirely spontaneous act, just as the previous act of the executors was spontaneous on their part, and neither in the one rase nor in the other had the executive go vernment of France anything to do with the matter. (Hear, hear.) The fact of part of the money having been advanced to Cantillon between 1823 and 1826 occurred under the reign of a member of the elder branch °lithe Bourbon family, and the refusal to lane the remainder was made since the accession of the present Emperor.

The noble lord understood me to imply that the Emperor Louis Napoleon was guilty of paying the sum in question to this would-be asmusin. I beg distinctly to say, that I re marked that I wasunable to form any COUViCtiell on the sub ject, and in consequence of that I asked this question. ("Hear, hear," and cheers.) No one can homers glad than lem to hear the statement of the nobs lord. (Hear, hear.) Lord ELCHO begged to ask whether any answer had yet been given to CountWalewski's despatch, and, if so, whether the government would lay it on the table ? No answer was given to the question, as far as we could anmetain. Mr. BoWYER mid that it would be in the recollection of the home that the hon. member for Sheffield had asserted Catively, and as a fact, that the Ip , itcy to Cantillon had paid by the Emperor of the Frmch.

Mr. BOWYER—I beg to ask the boa. member for Shef field an what authority he made that assertion ? lam sure the hones must have heard with satisfaction the statement of the table lord ; and I must add that I think that the question raised by the hon. gentleman (Mr. Stirling) was a most fru- P and injudicious one. r r ROEBUCK—I suppose it is not expected that I should gin say mews to the hon. gentleman's question. - THE WAR IN CHINA. Lad I. RUSSELL said—As hostilities are going on in Chins I think it is not improper that the House of Commons should know the realm for those hostilities. I understand Lord Elgin had certain instructions given to hint, and I beg to inquire of the First Lord at the Treasury, whether he haa any objection to lay before the house the instructions given to Lae Elgin on his departure for China, and the terms which were offered and rejected at Canton previously to the late bombardment.

As goon as we receive the terms which be asked, and the answer he received, we will produce them. Lord J.

Ia mak/ that prepessl, I feel myself bound, In the first plate, to say that I do not do it in any spirit of hostility to the Eut India Company ; not meaning thereby to imply any blame or °enure on the administration of India by that oompany.

Sir, It is whops see of the most extraordinary events in the bleary at mankind that these British Islands should have acquired ouch extensive dominions in nosh a remote part of the globe at those which we possess on the oostinent of Doke. It is remarkable, indeed, that these regions, in which 110k111011 and art may be said to have lint dawned upon man kind, should now be 'object to the rule of people inhabiting Weeds, which, at the time when then enters onions were be a hi* state of civnisetlen, melt u that age abided, sad of promerity, were to a slate of attar barbarism That audit a most resmicehis ekeasstsace—tbat a *Aka so TEEIC 00' Lard PALMERS osapalikety m ma me &Mt Moll km meths' wok Morin dueldws • thew skit we um perm he I.

Ors sight say toughie that the gemmed sr a oildusees la the Bud= rate of AMIN, oweidel by wild Wreak and by wild Indians little removed from the lower creation, should be assigned to a company whose chief function would be to strip the wild animals of their fur and keep the biped' sober, (laughter.) But to think theta great country like this rhould consign deliberately to the management of • commercial company, nations of different noes, of different religions—should give to them the decision of the questions of peace or war--should place in their bends all questions of religion—should allow them to subject in dependent princes to their rule—that a country like this should deliberately consign to a private set of irresponsible individual, ouch function' as these, is without exception, I believe, in the history of mankind. But this country never did that directly. This state of things grew up gradually from small beginnings. The original settlers began with a i factory, and that factory grew into a fort, and that fort ex tended to • district, and that district expanded into a province, and then came collisions with their lees civilised neighbours, and injuries to be resented, and attacks to be repelled, and conflicts In the extension of territory; and so, gradually from one transactiot to another grew up that condition of things in which the company found itself invested with vast commercial interests, and most important political functions, This state of things existed up to 1784, when an Infusion of responsibility in respect to its political administrative func tions was made into the affairs of the company, and the Beard of Control was established. Matters went on thus for a cer tain number of years, the company exercising its commercial functions subject to a slight interference by the executive go vernment in its political functions. One would have imagined that in • country like this the first step would have been /Wowed up by others still more important; and that when the political functions of the company were interfered with, and limited sad controlled to • certain degree, the next step would have been to take them away altogether, and to have left the company In its original commercial position. But in this country commercial matters often attract more observa tion and excite deeper interest than political events, and the next step was not to meddle with their political functions, but to take away altogether those commercial functions which originally constituted the foundation of their success, and ac ugly, in 1833, they were prevented altogether from acting as a commercial body. From that time the company became, me may say, a phantom of th e original . It had lost that esemerctal character on which it wee originally formai, end seatinued simply a political agent by which the adinbastra don of India was carried on. Now, air, I venture to say that the arrangement so substituted VMS • most inconvenient and cumbrous arrangement. The people of this country are of opinion that all administrative functions should be accom panied with ministerial responsibility, with responsibility to parliament, with re/possibility to public opinion, and with responsibility to the crown. But in this case the chief func tion of governing India was committed to a body irresponsi ble to parliament, not appointed by the crown, from the choice of persons who had no more connex a M aa lt India than the possession of so much India Stock. I think that of itself was • very objectionable arrangement. (Henn) In this country we are slow to make changes. An India position to make changes is a wise and useful indisposition. =clen ch : r a i l ) i g io a na tio . Ea ( do TV mischief cheers. b lrut7t Pl i! equally unwise, equally injurious, . to cling to existing arrangements, simply beaten, they edit, when a change can be made with advantage to the interests of the nation. (Hear, bear.) What could be more cumbrous than the exist ing system which passes by the name of th e double govern ment ? The right hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire, during the debates in 1853, when the last India Bill was . passed, inquired who was the government of India, and where he was to look for responsible authority for the administration of that country. Why, sir, there was • conflict of irresponsibility. There were the directors vested with power, and the right hen. gentleman stated on that occasion tha t they had one power paramount to everything else—the power of recalling a Governor-Genera]—by which • very just system of policy might be at once interrupted, although the Governor- General had been appointed by the crown and sanctioned by the directors. The responsibility and the function of the go vernment have been divided between the directors, the Board of Control, and the Governor-Nodal of India. The Bond of Control was responsible to this Imam reeponsible to public opinion, appointed by the crown ; the Board of Directors wee elected by the gentlemen and ladies who happened to be the holders of Indian stock, many of them being totally ignorant of everything relating to Indian interests—many of them, per haps, !mowing no more of Calcutta, Bombay, and Mabee, than what they had learned from the candidate canvassing for the directorship, respecting the presidency to which the cadet ship belonged which was promised them fur their votes. r o let ar oh, " and laughter.) I say these directors, who ma in general have great tupwienos and knowledge of loth, were elected by a body of pencum who have no pedlar faculty for ehoosing persons qualified to mars a great empire in the Bast. Then comes the Governor-General, invested with great sepa rate and independent powers. Between these three authorities It 14 obvious that despatch and unity of purpose can hardly by possibility be looked for. I will not trouble the boom by going into • detailed explanation of the method in which the badness is dons. It is well known to all those members who have given attention to Indian affairs that a despatch of the most important nature goo oecillating between Cannon-row and the ' India House. They are prepared by one party and altered 1 by another party, and then sent back again, and the edema turas of • despatch between these two extreme points may often be as anima aa the celebrated" Adventures of • Guinea." (laughter.) This system of check and counter-check must be anm&d with great inconvenience to the public service. It Is productive of great evil. Suppose, now you were to take a body of 20 gentlemen generally agreeing in their views, and make 10 of them sit at the east end of the City and 10 of them sit in Westminster, and were to propose • them for oondderation, the probability is that question to bodies would come to different conclusions, not being able to consult together—not being able to exchange opinions and arguments and to urnve at a common result. So it is with the Board of Control and the Bast India Company, and the result in cases of material dif fidence nun neossearily be • middle course satisfying the proesedinp of neither, carrying into effect the principle of naltem, obnoxious to both, and probably less ad to the public service than the opinion of either, If the tI ZT: of either had been entirely adopted. Therefore I say that the system of docks end counter-checks may be carried too dm There is no doubt that certain checks are requisite In eery politiesl medsisse, but you may multiply abeam and sounter-cheeks to such an extent that the functions el the machine which they are intended to con trol ere paralysed for any useful purpose.

(Hear, hear.) In ' fact, that which gives force to thecompany in I n di a i s not In opulence of the company itself. It is the knowledge possess t by the people of India that behind the conipsny,and strength !' acing the company, is the power of the British empire, Mil , that although nominally the ruler may be a mercantile err elation, the real power they have to look to is the sovereign and the government of this great country. I there ' fore am satisfied that the transfer of the govers- I meat of India to the sovereign would, as tar Sc its effect goes upon the people of India, be equivalent te a large reinforcement of troops. (Hear, hear.) lan astisdel that the effect produced would be most advantageous, and that it would tend completely to consolidate and strengthet the moral and political influence of England in those van regions of India. (Hear, hear.) Then what is the arrange ment we are about to propose? We wish to alter things at little as possible consistently with the great object we hale in view. That great object is to make the responsible ad visers of ie crown answerable for the government of at India countries, as well as all others beyond the sees be longing to the crown. We desire that India should be adialniatmed by • member responsible to parlia ment fir the manner in which that country is governed. We propose, therefore, that the functions of the Court et Directors and of the Court of Proprietors shall cease an.' that there shall be substituted for th em • p res id ent , saidatea L y a council, for the affairs of India ; that the president shall, of course, be a member of the government, and shall be the organ of the cabinet in regard to all matters connectet with India. But t as the men ebo have distinguished them selves in public life in this country are not supp.aed to pos• sees that local knowledge which le essential to the wise amt. nistretion of the country, we propose that the president Mal' be assisted by a council, to be competed of persons named by the crown, with the condition that they shall either have been directors of the East ladia Company or shall bar served for a certain period in India, either in the civil oi military departments of that country, or who shall have re sided there for • certain number of years, and are not con nected with local administration. We propose that that council chill consist of eight members, and that they gal/ be appointed for sight years, that two of them shall go out by rotation every second year, in order that ancestries administrations may have the means of renewing the council, by the introduction of persons of suflicient capacity who may have returned from India—so that while, on the one hand, the permanency of being councillors shall make them independent adviser, and councillors for the present, they on the other hand, shall not, by being appointed for lite, block up the way for the acceasion of other persons who may, from tune to time, appear likely to be useful to the country is the government of India. Of course, as the pro pond late transfer to the government of the day the full re sponsibility of the management of Indian affairs, the presi dent will be the organ of the cabinet on Indian matters —just as the Secretary for the Colonies and the Secraary for Foreign Affairs are the organs of the government erith regard to the departments under their respective juriediodons, so there the decision of the president of the council must be final on matters treated on in the council. We propose that the councillors, if they shall differ in opinion with the president, shall have the right to record that difference, together with the reasons on which it Is founded, in minutes to remain on the proceedings of the council, so as to justify them afterwards for having so differed in opinion with the head of the council. The full power of the president however will not extend to matters involving Increased expenses to the Indian revenue. For purposes of that sort it will be neceseary to have the concur rence of four of his councillors to his proposal. In the tem porary absence of the president a secretary of state will be enabled to act for him, and four members of the council will be a quorum for the enaaction of business. We propose that the council shall have the power of diet:ranting amongst them the business; which comes before them, so as to allot different departments of business to different members of the council, and they shall make their reports to the board. We propose that the president shall be placed on the footing of secretary of state, and that the councillors shall bare a salary of 1,0001. • year each. (Oh, oh.) We pro pose that all the powers vested in the Court of Directors shall be traneferred to this council, and, therefore, that all appointments hitherto made by the Court of Dine tore or other parties subject to the approbation of the crown shall be made directly by the crown ; but that all the appoint ments in India which heretofore have been made by the local authorities shall continuo to be made by these authori ties, so that no part of the Indian patronage will be trans ferred. (Hear hear .) We propose that the president shall be sble to appoint see secretary, who 'Mall be capable of sit ting in this house. It will be convenient for a cabinet minis ter holding that situation to have the moisture° of a mere tary conversant with the business which may come under discussion. We do not propose that the councillors shall be capable of sitting in parliament. (Hear, bear) We think great inconvenience would arise from their being allowed to sit in parliament. They would either become party men— they would necessarily associate themselves with one side or the other, and then, as governments might change the rela tion between the president and the councillors, their relations might become embarreasing to both parties. (Hear, bear.) There is one point which has alwsys attracted the attention of those who have considered these matters, end which has created • very considerable constitutional dif !lenity, and that is—the question of patronage. Many men have laid that this double government—this cumbrous and antiquated machine.-alinikrbe done away with. That was the opinion of a greet samba et gentlemen who in the year 1853 expressed &dr opinions on this subject. But it has always ism said, "Ws don't wish to increase the of the goverment, sad fear that this treader would add to &a patronage of the government" I have naiad that, so fee as load patronage is concerned, all the appoint ments which have hitherto been made by the Deventer- General and the other authorities In India will continue to be made by them exactly as before. The members of the load councils will be created by the Governor-General. An sr rangement has been carried Into effect by which all appoint ments to erriterships were given up to open com petition. That arrangement, of course, we shall cos i tinue to maintain. These mattere r therefore, are beyond the nage of government patronage. The appointment to oak ships has hitherto been divided between the members of the Court of Directors and the President of the Board of Control. We propose to leave the appointment of these cadetships se it now stands. The reduction from the number of directors to the number of councillors will give somewhat more pe t* each of the councillors, but it will add is no per :up= degree ta the patronage of the President at the Council. It must be remembered that hitherto them hr boon en enormous native army, and that it is not libel s :th y fa eaten mart- native army will be maintained. Sono ht.) As civil appointments, as I have they remain as they are at present. The appoint ment to ndaships will be distributed as heretofore, with psehably the additional condition that the ponces appointed AA be subject to approbation in a military collies, the ithel profi anointmen to the regiment dependiai upon their cienci their in their studies. (Hear hoar.) amend to this distribution of ceeletshi the re Is this me con dition—that a certain peoportlon, which we cannot fix in the bill, must be left to the discretion of the council &Goad ing to circumstances. That portion is to be reserved ter the sons of military and civil ofilairs who have served in India. (Hear.) According to that arrangement I think it will be seen that no such additional patronage will devolve upon the executive government of the crown as to excite the jealousy of parliament. The army in India will ambit as heretofore of the Queen's troops forming part of the regalia army in that country, and of local corps enlisted for service confined to India. With regard to the Queen's troops no change will be made. The other will be transferred to the crown for the service of the country, subject to certain conditions of service under which they were enlisted, and of course if any of them should dislike the change, they will be entitled to their dis charge, if they prefer that rather than to serve the crown on the same conditions and regulations as those on which they entered the service of the company. It is proposed that the military service, the local military service, shall be mild out of the revenues of India, and that their services shall be limited to Asia as long as they are paid out of the Indian re venues. At present the limits of the company's Master go beyond that, and a, tar as any place eastward of the Cape. But it is pr op osed that if at any time any part of the local army shall be employed out of Aaia it shall not be paid out of the revenues of India, so that this home moat determine whether the force so employed shell be paid out of the reve nues of this country. This will be a sufficient check *Linn the employment of the Indian troops without the ocement parßament. (Hoer, beer.)
