THE EX PRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1849. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, BOARD OF HEALTH. Lord BROUGHAM moved for a copy of the corresee donee with the General Board of Health, as to the form in which their reports should be published.—Agreed to. BITES FOR SCHOOLS BILL. On the motion of Lord Ramehnrah, this bill was read a second time. AUDIT OF RAILWAY ACCOUNTS BILL. Lord MONTEAGLE moved the committal of this bill. bad been the organ by which the opinion of certain of their lordships on this subject had been expressed ; but a report of their 1 .rdshipa had been issued after a full inquiry, In which they entirely concurredin the necessity of this mea sure. It did not therefore emanate from an individual. When he told their lordships that 300,000,0301. was the capital necessary for the construction of all the railways sanc tioned by parliament, and that 200,000,00 W. of that amount had already been expended,the magnitude of the sum (looking at the national debt as being 700.000,0001.) constituted the necessity which imposed on their lordships the consideration of the question. He might also add that parliament had motioned 12,000 milts of railway, a distance equal to one• half the circumference of the earth. The superior velocity of railway travelling must necessarily create • great mono poly, and it had given rise to a species of gambling as bad as the South Sea bubble, which had inoculated both high and low. Surely, in such a state of things a public audit of railway accounts should be enacted by parliament as a protection to the public. The difference between the highest and lowest price of rail way shares represented a fall of no lets than 3,000,0001. in the course of two months during the panic. The North Western, which stood at 222 in 1845, fell to 210 in 1846, to 170 in 1847, to 114 in 1848, and to 100 in October, 1848 ; 0141% Westerns tell from 240 to 77 ; South Westerns from 82 to 36; Midlands from 180 to 66; and the average fall of twelve principal railways in the kingdom within this period was as much as 64 per cent. If gums which were granted for capital were transferred, and made use et for the purposes of dividend, a Seditious value was given to the share., and the dividend thus inflated by the addition of the capital, encouraged persons who were unaware of these pro ceedings to invest their mosey in the undertaking. (liese.) The persons who effected them frauds, for they were nothing else, gave a fictitious value to the undertaking, which was quite contrary to the law, for the law declared that the reale of dividend should be prepared after such a fashion as ire. no ease to reduce the capital of the company. He knew an instance of one railway where one description of a-count had been printed and circulated amongst the shareholders and another, from which material portions had been extracted, bad been left for in spevion. The act of parliament also provided that there should be an audit, but the auditor, who must be a share hol ler et the company, had but a very limited power. And he need not remind their lordships that to make an audit valuable, it must be made by a person independent of the company. (Hear, hear.) In several instances the 1 1 smog which was sanctioned to be raised by par- Bement was applied to purposes entirely foreign to that fee which it was originally granted. He would quote soma cases of this kind, but he begged to say that he did not &titbit's to the companies he was about to name the slightest meral delinqueLcy. The case he would instance was that of the South Western Company, the chair man of which, a very respectable man, borrowed a sum of money from the North Western Company, not in the manner directed by the act- of parliament, hut on the single security of himself and his co-directors. He stated that it was a mea•ure of policy wkich, though it might not be strictly legal, might be highly desirable. He said he was aware the loan was irregular, but knowing the pressure upon shareholders, and the arrangements made with the Bank of England to prevent railway companies from getting money, he adopted that means of getting money to promote what he believed to be the interest of the company. Thas the law was violated in deference to the supposed rests of the company, and the money so olyained was applied to the estahliething of a steam communication with the Channel Islands and Havre. Money was also voted by parliament for the purpose of making a. railway to Harwich. The money was taken, but not a singe farthing was applied to the making of that railway. About 5,0001. was expended on one station, but not a single inch of line was made, and the money was appropriated to the maki, g of a railway to Norwich. But the must extraordinsry in stance of all was the Cale donian railway, with which there were friends of his own connected. Their case was, that they trsflithed in the shares of other railways without getting even the authority of their own shareholders, with the object of getting a control over the transeetions of these railways. They had thy: sted out of the money which perliament appropriated to the Caledonian Railway no less than 381,0001. in the traffic of shares of other companies. They contracted other lial,ilitiee to the extent of 117,0001. besides which they entered into various guarantees—one of 24,0001 , two of 150,0001. each, and another in connexion with the North Western to the amount of 1,020,0001. In addition to all this, they were under obligation to pay c Ile acd further calls which would amount ts the sum of 93,0001. more. He now begged leave to move that the bill tat committed. Lord BROUGHAM agreed in what bad fallen from his noble friend. The objection against his bill was, that it. was too late Low—that it was useless to lock the door alter the steed bad been stolen. But it should he ree dlected that 100,000,0001. had yet to be paid besides all that might be raised for new undertekings. The Earl of LONSDALE sail that the noble lord oppo• site hat explained all the misdoing. of the railway com panies. Lord MONTEAGLE—Not one tenth. (Lsugbtcr.) The Betio( LONSDALE objected to the principle of the b 11 on the ground teat it interfered with private trading concerns. The Earl of YARBOROUGII complained that the evi dence was only put into their hands that morning, and that more time was not given to the railway companies to express their opinions in re erence to this bill. The E ,rl of PO WIS otjected to the rapidity with which the bill were hurried through the house. Earl GRANVILLE said that the only objection which had been urged against this bill by Mr. Chaplin was that the auditors would interfere with the management of the raileay. Now by this bill they would have no power of doing so. As to the argument, that it showed an unbecoming want of confidence in the chairman and directors, he regarded it as too fl may to be dwelt on. Lord BROUGHAM said that the public were interested in the matter in a secondary degree. That was one reason why paella= .t had a right to interfere, and the other was that railways were in the nature of a monopoly. The bill then pursed through committee, and the house adjourned at half-past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—'EUESDAT, JILT 3.

On the motioa of Earl this bill was read a second time. INDIA. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, Remnant to notice, moved for papers • xpMnatory of the circumstances ender which the booty taken in the war in India, in Lahore, had been granted to the Court of Directors of the Rest India Company, or to the army in India. He made this motion to be in order while he drew the aeention of their lordships to a nutter which seemed to affect the 1. gal rights and honour of the crown, and indirectly the just expectatioi a of the army lately serving in the Pu..jsub. Ho moved that theirservien sight be couaidered by her Majesty, acd that the booty Wen in the war might be granted to them, as it had been rented to other armies in India under similar circumstances That which he felt, and which he thought he should satisfy their lordships, was that the b eoty taken in the war bad been inadvertently—he was satisfied it woo only inadvertently—misapplied by the Governor-General to the Ear India Company, and " the East India Company," he should say, meant no more than the government of India. They had no personal interest whatever in this matter. This proper y bad been transferred to the treasury of India, and so fur it had increased the means of the government of India, but in no respect affected the private interest of the Court of It:rectors. The law on this point, he apprehended, was perfectly clear; territ ry conquered by the East India Com pany in war, in India, b.lorged to the company—booty taken in war in India, where the troops of the company were alone em toyed, belonged to the company—but shear her Majesty's troops co-operated with the troops of the company, by letters patent of 1753, the crown possessed and still pre. set Ted its power over booty se taken; and, with such reser vation as tier Majesty might be advised to make, such booty hid always been granted to the army. He bad seen a notice in • letter of the Governor.Gencrere, in which it was rated that tee booty in question was to be applied to the liquida tion of the accumulet d debt due to the government by the state of Lahore; and icr the expenses of the war he had con flscated the provirty of the state of Lahore to the use of the Eau India Company. Ho apprehended that confiscation implied possession or power over the object coufisceted. In this case it was the property of an enemy, and could only be obtained by war ; and, if so, that property belonged to the crown, and was not at the dime gal of the government of India. The booty included the great diamond of Kuh-i -noor, and it would appear, by the course taken by the Gover nor-General, that her Msj• sty was indebted to the Ent India Company for this precious stone. whereas it was her's in tight of her crown, the state of Lahore hee 1, g been direrly at war with the British government. There was avower document t which ha wished to call their lordshipe' attention. He knew not what to call the paper. It was described as terms grant dto Dhuleep Sirgh, the Meharej th of Lahore, and accepted by him, by which paper the crown was bound to grant a 'semi .n to the Maha rajah, and it contained an expression to the effect that the property of the crown should be confiscated for the repay ment of the expanses of the war, and fur this purpose the Koh-i-noor was to be placed in the heeds of her Majesty. But there was nothing in 'hat paper which could change the irate of right which existed before. It was impossible for the Gevernor-Geeeral by any diplomatic act to di feat her Ma jesty's right over this property ; the property which he was made to dispose of was not in his possession, but in that of the British crown. He could not expect the noble marquis at once to say that he admitted the correctness of his state ment; hut he thought he should distinctly engage that this mutter should be investigated with judicial accuracy, and that justice should be done. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the n could be no objection to the production of the papers .o which the noble earl bad adverted. He had derived fie m official soutecs the whole of his information relating to the In dian campaign, the brilliant services of the army, and the conduct of the Governor-General, and the last imputation to which he could be subject would he a disposition to un dervalue the services of that army which he had ox every occasion acknowledged—(hear, hear)—or any disposition to withdraw from them that reward for their great sod distin guished act*, which it Imil ben n the custom and right of the army to obtain. (Hear, hoar.) But he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) hod been informed that the question turned simply on how tar the state property of Lahore, including the precious atm e which had been referred to, was to be considered as the booty of war, and how far it was to be con sidered as state pro;.crty liable to the provisions of a treaty. He beliet el the statement of the noble earl was correct as to the custom in India with reference to property obtained in wv, and had that preemie stone and the other property in Lahore teen considered as the booty of war, it would have been liable to have h. cn dealt with em booty in similar aces. But the Oovernor•General considered at the termination of that war—when hostilities were closed, and he war to con clude &treaty with a sovereien prince from whom bethought himself justified under the circumstances in whico the war had closed in requiring • cession of prepsrty—and that having beer. obtained by treaty, he thought it was liable to be disposed of in the way in which he (the Governor-Oeceral) thought best fitted to meet the wants of the case. Part of the treaty was that all property, wheresoever found, should be confiscated to the East India Company, to pay the ex oen-es of the war, and that the gem called Koh.i-noor should be surrendered to the Queen of Englant. Dhuleete Singh when this treaty was concluded was not • prisoner, bat was treated as a 'sovereign prince. He . 41t sure that the governor. general considered himself at libel ;y to conclude such a treaty, and dispose of the property obtained from the state of Lahore lin any way which he thought best for the royernment of India. The subject, however, should he reconsidered in reference to its legal merits. (Hear, bear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON must do the Governor , General of India the justice to say, that his noble friend was wrong if he supposed that the services pi rformrd by the army bad net been highly and justly considered by the governor-geesr.l; and ;bat her Maj. sty's advisers who had been consulted, had not been niggardly in grantint the rewards and honours due on this occasion. (Hear, hear.) This had bees done by her Majesty's ser vants at the recommendation of the commander-in-chin and the governor-general. (Hear, heir.) His noble friend had stated the way in which the questing of b oty stood between her Majesty and the East 'edit Com pany in all cites. But here there was not merely moveable property, which was properly the subject of booty, but there wee large landed and other property, not exactly booty ; and all th e e. were included in this word " property," which was stated to be confiscated. The Governor-General, in Lie own proclamation, confiscated this property; but when be came to this arrangement with the Msharejeh, the word should not have been " confiscated," but " seised." He did not na• an to say that would at all alter the legal position of ' the property, after it bad come into reunion of the British authoti les. He would, therefore, suggest that it should be left to her Majesty's government to settle this question of booty, feeling sure that the government at how and the Governor-General in India were most anxious to do full jus tice to the Indian army. (Hear, hear.) Lord GLENELG did not wish to reflect on the conduct of the Governor-General, but the document in question did not profess to be a treaty; it was nothing but an exertion of certain terms on the part of the conqueror, for which certain benefits were to be conferred. Mr. Eliott bed de dared that it the Maharajah refused to sign this treaty it would be just the same thing, and he would be entirely at the mercy of the Governor-General. Lord BROUGHAM considered it by no means clear that if it wog booty the using of the word " confiscated" would make no difference. The governor-general, as the servant of the company, perhaps could do no more than at first eon &cote the property, but the crown would hold the But India Company to be the trustees for the crown. It was an important subject, but nobody insinuated that the go vernor general had intentionally done ar ything which might be i,TOTIVC*, or that he did not highly appreciate the services of the Indian army. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH had only attributed to the governor-general inadvertence, and all the property to which his argument applied was moveable property, and net the land in Labor.. As the noble marquis tad atquiesced in his motion, be thought this matter iitteht to be consi dered, in the first instance, by the Attorney-General, who had to adeim her Mai-sty as to her rights; and, if he should be wrong in his opinion, there was nothing to prevent the army from memorialising the crown, and inch memorial might be retry , d teethe jodieial committee of the privy council, whose decision would be most satisfactory to all parties. At any rate sufficient had been shown to demand a Judicial inquiry. (Hear, hear.) The nation was then withdrawn. SHERIFF FOR THE COUNTY OF WESTMORE LAND. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUFSDAY, JULY 3.

BARRON said that he wished to RA the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State a question. It appeared I that the Lord Lieutenant had commuted the sentences of several prisoners in Ireland from traniportation to imprhon. men', and he wished to know whether, under these circum stances, the expense of maintainhag the convicts whose sentences were so commuted was thrown on the country, whereas, if not commuted, the expente would be thrown upon other funds ? Sir G. GREY said that it was a case of frequent occur rence that s Dunces to transportation were commuted in this couttry and in Ireland for sentences to impri,onment. The result was that the prisoners, instead of being sent abroad at the expense of the imperial treasury, remained in the county prisons, and the cost of meiotaintng them w►s charged on the same fund that supported all the other prisoners. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. The boss then went into committee on this bi.l. Sir IL W. BARRON moved the following clause.— .. Whereas it is found that outdoor relief demoralises the paupers, leads to great frauds, pauperises the ratepayen, and destroys all motive furexertiou on the part of both the landed proprietors and capitalists, be it therefore enacted, that from the Ist of June, 1850, it shall not be lawful for any boards of guardians to grant re to the able boded poor out of the workhouse." The hon. baronet procee ied to show the immense mass of people that ree ived outdoor relief in Ireland. Several thousands were now maintained in idleness under the out-door relief system, than white . nothing could be more demoralising, as every kind of fraud and dealt was practised on the poor-law guardians. The great and crying evil, however, was that the rateable property in Ireland was giving way under this s 3 stem, which the property even of England could not hear up against. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he must oppose this clause, which would effect a total repeal of the net of 1847, and should not be discussed now. . . On the notion of Lord CAMPBELL, a hill for empower ing the crown to appoint a sheriff for the county of West moreland, was read a Ant time; his lordship explaining that the shrieraliy of Westmoreland was hereditary ; the late sheriff, the But of Theme, had bequeathed the office to en individual, hut some doubt hav;ng been expressed as to the legality of the bequest, the county war left without a sheriff, Janos the necessity of this bill. Mr. DIXON, in support of the dense, said, that every body in Ireland knew that the system of out-door rebel was ruinous. - _ . ----- Mr. W. FAGAN said, that if there was sufficient accom modation is the workhouses, he would be unfavourable to out-door relief. Such was not the cue, and, therefore, he was of opinion that out-door relief should be afforded. Mr. CONNOLLY supported the insertion of the clause proposed by the hon. baronet, the member for Waterford, end said that it wm the bounden duty of the leg Nature to lay down the broad principle, that every man shoted live by the sweat of I.is brow. Mr. STAFFORD felt the great importance of the ques tion which had been brought torward by the hon. baronet, but looking to the attendance of hon. members, especially from Ireland, he put it to him whether it would not be better to postpone his motion till the third reading of the bill. -- Sir W. SOMERVILLE said that it was highly desirable that they should return to the workhouse test as loon as pos sible, but at the same time the present system could not be abolished until some means were found to support the people. (Hear, hear.) He admitted, without reserve, that the wirk house test was a hiahly desirable mode of asoertaining the existence of paupi risen ; but the condition of Ireland was now so critical, that the government could not appoint any day on which to re establish it. He hoped the hon. baronet would comply with the suggestion thrown out to him, and withdraw the motion for the present. Sir H. W. BARRON raid, that having heard the admis sion made by the Secretary for Ireland, he was willing to withdrew his motion. The clause was accordingly withdrawn. Col. DUNNE then moved the inserion of a clause to the following purport• that in electoral divisions, where the rate-payers of aay tows land or union of townlends within such division shall nod. vake to support a portion of their poor, then such townlands to bee xempted from any rate, except for union and estsblis•.m^nt charg. a. In the iv. nt of any pauper appealing to the board against the support afforded him under the foregoing circumstances, the guar dian to give him relief ; and in case of de cision of guerdians being disputed, appeal to he tc the magistrates and assist.at barristers at quarter sessions The effect of the clause woult be to permit boards of guar • dims when combinations of town lands undertook to sup port a proportionate part of the p cup. ran of the electoral division to exempt them from the payment of rates, except for union or establishment charges. Mr. C. LEWIS said that a bill had been introduced into the house by the hon. member for Stroud similar in its principle to the proposition introduced by the hon. and gel lent gentleman. The house had fully discussed that bill, and had rejected it on the ground that it would be intro ducing the system of labour rate. Mr. P. SCROPE said that the proposal before the house was one calculated to stimulate private employment, and be would, therefore, give it his support. Mr. F. FRENCH supported the clause. The principle could be carried out without difficulty, and he believed that it would be attend.d with the best eonsegut noes. Sir H. W. BARRON suggested that the clause should be modifi,d by limiting it to three jean fur the purpose of giving it a fair trial. Sir G. GREY called upon the house to recollect that the principle of the clause had hen submitted to the house in the bill of the hon. member for Stroud, and, after amyle du cussisn, had been rsjectid by a tesjority of 166 to 41, ant. most of the Irish members were amongst the majority. Mr. GROGAN had voted ag►ioat the bill of the hon. member for Stroud, and h,.a dune so because he c.maidered that it was to a certain extent an interference with labour. He approved, however, of the principle of the clause, and he hoped the government would c..nsent to take it into thesr hands and modify it in tuck a manner as to make it prim :iemble. Lord J. RUSSELL considend that it was difficult to d's cover any Tian by which this aurae could be carried ont. It was true teat toe principle had been to sum .! exttitt carried out voluntarily in some pati,hi.s in England and La tl,ud, and if any of the farmers and cmpl-yers of Ire' nd now wi,hcd to ecuphy the destitute labour la, m proportion to the argots of the laud, they were petfectly at liberty to do so without any compulsory envc , ment. The wording of the clause was so vague that he did not thiuk they would bjusutied in adopting it. After some furthtr conversation the committee dividtdi and the numb. rs were : For the clause lB Against it ... Majority Tte clause WM scordlngly lost. Sir 0. J. NORRE VS then moved the insertion of a clause, provicing fur the paj meet contrac.urs and other • fur deb:. outstanding, the amount of which c mid not be paid out of the rates etre. dy collected, or prospeclesly by the amt ant still to be obtained, by empowering the guardians to borr-,w m .ney for that purpose, under certaiu conditions and re. stiiltions • - • Sir G. GREY opposed the clause, as be believed that it could not he carried out. Ile could not cons. nt to give con tractors a first they. e on the rates, as Le believed that tLe first charg. should eve r be for the relief of the poor. Alter a short conversation the clause was negatives' with- out a Lori NAAS thin moved the junction of the following clause : And be it enact , d, tha' sea much of na act passed in the second year of Iler present /d.ij. sty's reign, intituted, " An Act for the more effectual Relief of the &imitate Poor In Ireland," as enacts " that any covenant or agreement whereby any person lid& to pay rent, and entillor under the proviidonit of this act to deduct therefrom any rate or portion of ra!e, ball Pave covenant. or agreed, or shall hereafter covenant or agree• to forego ouch deduction. shall, ro far as such rate I+ coneerned, be of no ettevt," be rep tiled, excc,,t as to any thing heretofore done Ur DOW pending under this act. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had no übjiction to this clause. Aftir a shot discwsion, in wh'ch Sir D. Norriys, Mr. S. Craw ford, and Mr. P. Sergipe joined, the tommittee divided. Far the clause Against it The clause w.is then inserted in the bill. The CHAIRMAN reported pr :press and leave was granted to sit again on Tnursday at 12 o'clock. The house then acijouracil at five minutes to three o'clxk till five o'clock. The hou , e reassembled at 5 o'clock. PUBLIC HEALTH—CITY OF LONDON. Mr. WILD asked the Secretary of State for the Hom , Depart , . ent, if his attention had been directed ti the state ment of Mr. Simon, the (Act r of public health for tho city of Lyndon, u to the earsis of certain cues of cholera wittiti the city of London ; and abet it it were his intension to intro duce any measure, Outing the present station of parliament, 14 the prevention of tee interment of dead bodies within the ci , y of London. Sir G. GREY Pail he had rot wen the statement referred to, at don inquiry at the Board of Health on the p•evione day, he found that no such statement had been made. No doubt cases of cholera had otcurred, chiefly in locali ice in which the miasma was injurious; but they had not been confined to churarrds in the mo'ropolis. A bill wu in prenarati•.n, and would shortly be introduced, havine for is object (se we understood) the proLitition of interments in certain cues. AUSTRALIAN COLONIES BILL. Kr. ADDERLEY asked the Under Secretary for the Otlonies whether the extecsive al•erations which had been announced for the Austral:in Cilonii s (No. 2) Bill would re printed, and plac , d in the hands of members before the second reading of thet bill cn the 16th. Mr. HAWES wed the hon. gentleman appeared to be under a wrong impression as to the alterations which had been made in the bill. The second bill we., in fact, a ver batim copy of the first, the only difference being that some of the clauses et the first bill were omitted. The effect was to extend the functions of the colonial government with re gard to the regniation of the price of lend. Mr. STAFFORD swished to know whether the clauses would be pointed for the second reading. Mr. HAWES replied that there were no new clauses ; the only change was that of omission. AMERICAN MAIL. Mr. WYLD asked f.r explanation with regard to the stop page of letters and files of newspapers on the arrival of the tut American mail at Liverpool, which were intended for the corresponden+e of the different London journal+ ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that, as no notice had been given of the question, be could not make any reply. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE. Lord D. STUART rise to move for a select committee to inquire into the ma f making the assessment in the several counties for the maintenance of the metropolitan police, and into the expenditure thereof; es well as into the general admini.tratioa of the forte, and especially into the recent 1011114 i increased charge of upwards of 35,0001 on the county of Middlesex. He denounced the police as so many petty tyrants (laughter), and affirmed that the m• re polls could be moresff.ctuallyguarded by infiuitely fe er men and at far less cost. Sir G. GREY raid it would be to waste the time of the house to defend the metropolitan police from the charge of being no many lorry tyrants. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) As to the inquiry whien his noble friend asked for, it had been already fully gone into. There were, no doubt, ine• qualities in the metropolitan ratings, but these, he thought he might say, 'soul I bo very shortly remedied. Mr. BROTHERTON said that the whole system of police rating was grewly unjust. Hi, own constituent+ not only paid a very heavy rate for their own protection, but they had to coutribute towards the 100,0001. and upwards which were paid out of the consolidated fund towards the police charge d Marylebone. Mr. B. OSBORNE said that as to the metropolitan pollee, it was a most efficient and admirably managed force. The complaint was not against the police, but against the l istquality of the assessment by which they were paid. Sir W. JOLLIFFE was of opinion that the police force was am so constituted as to fit it for the duties it had to ptorfJetn, wither wee it adapted to fulfil the functions which bad since its original formation devnlv+ d upon it. A much larger force ought to be stationed outside the metropolis, so ws to raid the home county approaches, and of that force a comh.emble portion ought to be mounted, in order to pre vent the numerous robberi a that had of late Teen en mueb increased. If the noble lord went to a division he should think i' his duty to support his motion. Mr. HUME said he should not be diverted from his ori ginal intention by any observations made by the noble lord. He had supported the Institution of the present police force twenty years ago, in spite of the obl^quy which was cast upon it ; he thought it a very efficient solotitute for the " Old Charlie.," but he had always opposed its being paid eat of the cons olidated fund. There ought to be an inquiry whether the manner of paying the forge and the amount of its cost were open to any amendment or reduction, but at the same time he thought the noble lord ought to be satisfied with obtaining the returns which were requisite, and with giving notice of a motion for the next session for select committee. Ili did not concur in the charges against th, police, but he thought the government ought to grant a committee of nquity. if his noble friend omitted he would vutu with him, but et the same time he hoped the pi er ,. mint would grant en Inquiry at some future ',trim which would obviate the necessity for ' , resting the motion to a divi loot. Sir D. L. EVANS sa . d that the present system of sums. log for the police sates vas very unfair ; fur even if 2d. o r 3d. in the pound would suffice the act required 64. to be ro l. lected. Au ioquirr was absolutely requisite, sod be should certainly support any proposal 0) that effect. At the lam time he nope.ithe noble lord, seeing what the feeling o f th e house on the subject was, would withdraw his motion and renew it next session. Sir G. GREY denied that it was requisite to collect 6d. if a lower rate would do. Sir J. W. HOGG accu ed the right hon. baronet °punt, of a bresca of fai- h in having withdrawn the bill for rs. deicing the rate from 6s. to 6d. Lord D. STUARf replied. He contended that the ex. planation given by the right hon. gentleman with regard to the police b..ing sent to different pars of the couury 111$ net estistatx.ry, bec.tuse though their expenses were paid when they wen. on country expeditions, still the fact of their being so sent about rendered toe Employment of a larger foreg cessary than would otherwise he required. (Hear) tie had not been supported in tree charges which he had made agaist the police. Me had nn meant to charge them as a body with gross misconduct, but what he said was, that they were set so port. et and efficient a force u they might be. At any rate, whether auppor7ed in that paticuLa or not, he still contended that the inhabitants of the metropolis were an. justly taxed. He hail the greatest deference fur his hon. ',knit the member for Montrose; but at no tope had bees held out to him that the committee would be eq-p tinted at another time it he now withdrew his motion, he felt Out he should nut be doing his duty if he did nut press it to a divi -ion. Lord R. GROSVENOR regrett.d that hi. noble friend had not followed the judicious advice of his boo. friend the number for Montrose. However, if his noble frirLd divided he should divide with h en, although nut on the grounds which his noble friend had him., If advanced. Toe hors then divided, when the numbers were, For the motion Against it 137-109 THE CHARTER. Petitions having been prsiehted in favour of this measure by Mr. F. O'CONNOIt, Mr. RlCAltbu, My, bin Na 2, Mr. W. J. Yon, and other hon. gentlemen. Mr. O'CONNOR rose to bring forward the following : That this house, recognising the great principle that labour is the solace of all wealth, that the people are the only legitimate rource of power, that the labourer should be the first p irtak.r of the fruits of bo own industry, thut tax Won without representation is tyt fumy, and should he regsted, and b. liecing that the remoras of the country would be beet developed by laws made by repimentatives climes by the LOY wring claws in conjunction with thaw who live by other in. dustrial pursuits; that (in recognition of the above great truth s ) t hi s bowie adopts the Wu:fp" embodied to the dieumeni entitled, 'ohs Pi epte's Charter, nameiy, annual elections, universal suffuse, cote by ballot, equal clectoral districts, no property qualification, cad pay. moot of nhmhers. He was perfectly aware of the disadvantage seder which he lab cured when submitting this great question to the ifOute of Commons ; but at the came time he believe] that it was the duty of that house to discuss every question which agi tated the pubic mind out of doors. if tnere was anethieg erroneous in the principles which he enunciao d, it was the duty of the government to oppose them by sound argument. —to show that they were the mere Utopian theme II of an excited fancy, and not to atempt to crush them by ridicule or tome. M my applicatians bad been made to him to with draw his motion fee the present, to enable the hon. member tor Buckinghamshire (Mr. Disraeli) to pre ca, d with the debe'e on the sate of the nation. He ceuld nut confect to such &course, however : in we particularly after the statement of the hon. member himrell, that a great alteration in the I, g i lotion of this country was required, in order to do justice to all chums of the pet pie in this ctuatry. Not one of those so ial changes or benefits that were to be pr du ed by reform had been conceded to the working cisme, hut this house was mone divided than ever it was before into closes reptionset to the rights and interests of the workless classes. Every honourable membe r must be gem that the house was now divided into Ousel. The interests of efficers in the army and navy, mercsants, manufacturers, shopkeepers, and last, not least, lawyers, were, ice tie it o on tweet*, repugnant to the into eels of the working classes ; wh hey all lived on the proceeds of their Libour. He should not deltic the house long with Lis proposition ; it was likely that he miebt he without a house bc'ore I.e concluded; but be believed ti e noble lord and the government would not lend themsele s to such emcee of getting rid of this preposition. His preelection was founded on the original charter, as drawn up by Daniel O'Connell, signed by tour or five members of the house, &molted teem by the hon. member for Rochdale, who d not sketch from the avowal of there principli s ; by Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Heathy, and others. It spoke Lathe r in disparaging terms of annual, and pretend ttienedul parliaments; but it del not repudiate teem. If he were asked which of the six points of the charter he preferred, he shooed s.; annual par liaments, t r then hon. members could settle annual accounts with the it constituents. On a former ecerden the n ible lore had sated that since the passing of the Re'orns 811 there heed been el, ctions every two years and a li-lf. It was so, but in t one two 'errs; of legislation the re presenta tive, of the prop In were not aware that the eeesion would break down, and it was enly towards the close of the session that those who had been most subservient, invarieley este red for support by voting fey some popular measure. NV tat he contended for was that all men who were returned to the house should net be delegates but the representatives of the mind of the constituency. There was one very important tact connected with this question of annual parliaments, and it was strongly developed last year as re garded Ireland, and commercial distress. He believed it was an •imitte d tact that many who had votes in 1847 had lost throne vote s in consequence of pauperism. So that you had representatives representing bankrupt elector, dead electors, and pauper elector.. Could that be the case if they had sessional parliaments? There was one great object which would be attained by the adoption of annual puha 'steno., and it was this: you legislated for the mime of the day. In this age cf rat I prozreas, when the mind travelled Sy electric telegraph, he rked whether those m teens who we re returned at the commencement of a serennial paella meet to make laws in consonance with the opini ens of the doy, should not be guided by the opine nee of their eneetitu ents before the seven years had passed away. Ile was told that annual parliaments would lead to annual contusion. Nn man discharged a good servant, no one could tee com pelled to keep a bad one in his service, and a enstitutney ought to be represented by one who was ahle to discharge his duties faithfully. The noble Fret Lord of the Treasury had Vaunted the bon. memoir for Montiose with the fart that he bad no patterns to suppert Lim, but he (Mr. O'Connor) was happy to in orm that hon. member that his cause was making great way outside that house. (Hear, heat.) He tendered to the hen. manber his sincere thanks fee the manner in which lee hod taken up the cause of the people. (Cheers.) But the noble lord laughed to acorn the petitions of the people. But he warned the noble lord *gains' attaching too much importance to the lack of petitions. That absence was a consequence of the cleence of ire et, of hope, or of confidence in that house; and not of any apathy on the part of the people as to their just claims. ' With respect to the Mlle?, although he had voted for it, he coule hardly sty he approved of it, while the constituencies were se restricted as at present. The clubs had been quoted in its favour, but it should be recollected that in t -e clubs member had a vote. If there were only 100 votes out of 603 members, the working of the ballet might not be so satirlactory as at present. An How. MEMBER here moved that the house be counted. The gallery was accordingly cleared, but exactly 40 mem bers Wei; pr ant, the gallery was re-opened, and we found Mr. F. O'CONNOR complaining of the discourtesy by whic h the debate was attempted to be cushioned—a discour tesy of which he himself had never been guilty. The hon. member resumed his argument. With respect to electoral districts, be would not entangle the question by putting for ward any ep elfin plan. Ile would content himself with eluding to a digest i.e had prepared et the various electoral b dies England, by which it appeared that for 13 of the first class towns, frent London to Birmingham, with a popu lation of 2,748,890, there were only 28 mem: e rs, whets 18 towns, with a population of 116,891, returned 2.i members (Hear, bear ) Aeain he found that 34 pieces, with a popu lation under half a million, returned 59 membe re. With these facts before it, the house could hardly deny that some change in the arrangement of electoral directs was called for. (Hear, hear ) The right hon. Secretory for the Home Department had asked him how he proposed to alter the pees, nt ay. tem. His answer was that be was determined to being forward no scheme which might create antagonism in the liberal party. (Hear.) He would mere ly rewind the house that the bleep:silty of the electoral directs bad caused the Reform Bill. He came next to the qusstion of the property qualification. He did not see why that should he so vigorously resisted, seeing that there were already . 53 members in that house from whom no property quslificaton was required. The Scotch borough members did not qualify, nor the members for the universities, the latter being the most prejudiced and bigoted men in the house. Why then persist in requiring it from English and Irish members ? The noble lord the Prime Minister could sit there as the representative of the great and wealthy metmpnlis of Lan don, with a qualification of 3001. a year, but the member for a st'rving county in Ireland must possess a nuslificaeion of 6001. a year. Was there any justice in that ? fie now came to the last of his propositions—the payment of m' mbers. That the labourer wu worthy of his hire was applicable in this, as in all other matters. .ched if he needed an example to justify this propostuon, he need only point to the Treasury benches, the noble and right hon. members who occupied which received as much in salaries from the state as would be suffleieet to that it was derogatory for members to receive payment for quasi Ythihsefareetpberesefonretatthiveems,Qwf a 3 , 2 i l t n citizen (,t shou mockery zhst.o tell them their services? Talk not to him of the ignorance of the working ciasses. If they were ignorant, who was to b!ame ? (Hear, hear.) He had more acqueett once with the working c!a:ses than any man who had ever gone before. or who would ever come after him. (A lauzh.) Yes, he had met them in all placee, and under every variety of ercumstance, and be had never heard a working man make use of an indecent or obscene word. Let hon. gentlemen who did not mix with them as he did go amengst the working men at thew meet ings, and they would he surprised at the gond sense, the w !lie quence, and the sincerity they would the re m eet (Hear, hear.) Why, then, should persons who an conducted thetas -dyes not have a shore in the representation ?
