WRECK OF THE ROYAL ADELAIDE, Kr. F. FRENCH wished to pat a question to the right boa. geWlellill the Pr: silent of the Board of Trade with regard to the wreck of tae R iyal Adelaide. in which, unfor tunately, upwards of two hundred lives were lost. He wished to be hemmed whether the right hon. gentleman could give t►e house any information with reprd to the oenduct of those who were stationed at the Tongue Light Ship, and of the remind officers at tlargate, in not flowing the gone of dieter's which wise B:ed. He oleo wished to know whether there was any fo•edatioa fee the statement in the newspapers, that the R pat Adelaide was built too slightly for tee channel navigation. Mr. LABOCCIIIIRE said that by act of parliament, when • vessel had been lost under the circumstances in which the Royal Adelaide was lost, the owners were bound to cimmusicate with the Board of Trade on the subject. The owners of the Royal Adelaide had not yet done so ; and he b►d that morning directed that a letter Would be written to them, calling Weir attention to the requisiticn of the act, and he had especially desired that certain questions should be put to them. When he etwuld have received an answer from the owcen of the Trebel, it would be time enough to deliberate whether any steps should be taken, and also whether it were desirable that any information should be laid on the table of the home. STAMP DUTIES. Mr. SPOONER wished to 1;eli the right hen. gentleman the Chancellor tf the Rachequer, not having undentood the sable lord (Lewd J. Renal), whether he intended to proceed that evening with the etamy duties ? Thee CHANCELLOR of **EXCHEQUER had received from the chairman of the Bitted of Inland Revenue a put number of sugg.stions with regud to the stamp duties, which bed luta under the cmaidention of the authorities. In some respects thermion, were necessary.

Mr. HUME would be pled to know whether any Seed hitherto untaxed wee to be taxed by the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was ea 'lnwood to say that there was not its slightest foundation for such a suppositioa. CON VICTS .—N E W ZEALAND. In reply to a querion from Sir W. )10LIBIWORTII, Mr. HAWES said that the notion of an Lalonde* as the part of the government to sent convicts to New Zealand eras founded entirely on a misconception ; no sack lassatisa existed.

The 'Menu of Dr. Southwood Smith would be foetid 'fall of the horrors entailed by the window tax. Otte althea* in quiren had been sent down to Sunderland. The committee did not hesitate to declare their einsaimose opinion that blocking up windows had been the primary esme of mush sickness and mortality. Bat Lord Normanby was not the oaly person who took up the cause of molten reform. The aoble lord the member far Platoons (Lord Ebrineton), who had been so active in sewage reform, stated that light swops, other things had a most imp -vent effect on the operations of life. The noble lord said he could multiply the medical evidence upon this point ad inifnitum; and he went on, and mentioned one plan which he had adopted himself in build - log cottages, vie., the introduction of air from outside through pipes of perforate d plates of sine. An unfortunate gentleman of the name of Williams, of Peoria, in an evil boar, was induced to follow the noble lord's advice ; he ap. pealed against the charge of 6i. 17e. 2d. which had been made upon him by the wean of the district, for having opened some extra windows, and it was determined by the Judges of the land that these plates were windows, and this unfortnnas man had to pay for 2.5 windows instead of 21. That had been • lesion to the rest of the inhabitants of the country, and to the constituents of the noble lord him self, sad any man would Le cautions in future who endea voured to admit extra air into his house through perforated plates of tine. A corrupondeece bad ensued with the com mi-sionen of stamps and taxes, and the result was that they said the exemption would turn on the merit of each indi vidual case. Everything which he had to say had fortunately been so much better sad by individuals who eat opposite to him of such great celebrity and expe rience that he bad only to read their testi. aunts on the subject. The noble lord then read various testimonies to the injurieus effects of this tax upon light and air, which nent4lized saaitary reforms ; and anticipeued the objections to his motion based upon financial grounds, mg gestiag that the Oispeasiog with the African moadron, • better administration of the Woods and F nests, and of that portion of the public the Exchequer, would more than indemnify the state for the lses ef the window tax. He obeuld be much better sa tisfied on this subject if he saw hie bon. friends proposine that every shilling of the public money should be paid into the Exchequer, not merely with the seneti 4 of the Treesury, but of the House of Commons. He had now to thank the house for the kindness and patience with winch they bad beard him. He trusted that these gentlemen who had lie. tested to him, been giving their votes, would con sider whether economy bad been carried to its fullest extent before they consented to raising a revenue on light and air, which bad been granted by divine Providence to the inhabitants of this earth to an unlimited extent, and which he did not Wink ought to be the province of any government at all. It wax their bounden duty to remove restrictions as tares they could up 4 heat and air. UI this he was satisfied, that neither this house or any house would allow the public creditor to suffer. If taxes were necesnry, those taxes would be raised and wil. tingly voted by gentlemen in this house ; and therefore, with the permission of the house, be had brought forward this motion. The noble lord concluded with moving his resolu tion. Sir DE LACY EVANS seconded the motion, and was glad to think that the statement of the noble lord had been so comprehensive, so able, and so teitenswerable. The 'noble lard had pointed out a remarkable circumstance as to this tax, that there had scarcely been any augmentation of the revenue—that several exemptions bad been man, but that these exemptions did not by any means bureau the revenue. Tte motion wee framed so as to carry the exemption from duty to houses not having mon than 12 windows, and added many instances of the unwholesome style of building which lied grown out of the window duties. The tax was of the mann of a property tax, hit wee meet unequal and inlet iota Is its indigoes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who spoke la se Ir. • tons of voices to be but imperfectly audible, said that his noble friend the member for Bath bad on the isas on a former occasion, made a most able speech minuet of his motion, although it did not appear that there was anything new to be said on the subject. He (the Chaseellor of the Exchequer) would not follow his noble hind into the irrelevant subjects be had ietroduced, as be did not think it would be advisable to mix uo the ma. sessweat of ths Woods end Foreste,or the propriety of paying the whole of the se into the Ezchequer,with a discussion as the justice and expediency of repealing the window tax. His noble friend had taxed him with having said that seraway road be carried no farther, and afterwards with semi% emeiderable reductions in ee revenue. He could eilimeelith soble friend that he had said no such thing, what be bed maid was that great redactions to be safe must ho dished by de sad perhaps he might have felt as leillMidd ass P year, that it had been curled as far as it was ash se expedient.

It was rather, then, at valiance with the het, to mart that the window-tax pressed about enelnefeely ea the poor. But his noble friend tom. platted also of the exemption of Ireland. (des, bear.) He (the Chasidim of the Exchequer) should like to know what were the general character of the dwellings of the people of Ireland.

The noble lord then moved, in nemeses of notice, " That whereas the present mode of aleilehig, levying, and collect. beg taxes on air and light In Ragland and Scotland lathe fetes most prejudicially with the health and sanitary midi time of the inhabitants of Great Britain, therefore it is expedient that the window to: should be repealed." He did not wish to di.parage the men tos of the right hon. g• nilcaan, the Chanctllor of the Runnier; but he thought that if they were itch enough to talc., off duties on brklo and stamps, they sant alto be rich enough to remove • partite, at lon, of the duties on windows. There was, be; believed, only ono trade in the massfactoring districts which was not now in a state of prosperity, namely the glass trade. He held In his hand two letters which ba d been seat to him by person of the highest position in the glen trade. Ore was has Mr. Bwinharne, who stated that the repo! of the window-tax would b. • great boon to the glass trade, which was in such a state of uoexamolcd depression, that no houses had escaped a very large lose of capital (or two years past. Mr. Hartley, who was elate a great authority in the glass trade, stated that the supply of window glue greatly esooded the demand, the measure of Sir Robert Peel for the reduction of the duty on had haying immoral/ad expestation which, unfortunately, had not bees Milked . • that though thirteen new window gl in manufactories had been nulled into exist. sem, many had suspended busing; and that the total loss to the trade was upwards of 260,00 W. This was a moot remarkable exception to the flourishing Mate of the maniac. taring districts. N as doubted the policy of levying any window tax at all; but, if such • tax war to be raised,. he trusted his tht boo. friend would attempt to rarefy the present 'lido; scale. If the window tax was to be retained, it would be much weer to levy it fairly and impartially on every window in the kingdom than by the plasma sliding scale mod*, which wend most unequally co the occupiers of small bones. In the smaller houses—those, (or instance, in litheyetrest, in this metropolis—the wi ,dow tax amounted to no lees • mon than 30 per cent. urn: the rental, whereas in matey of the lugs streets it did not amount to same than 24 per ant. Is many of the other small streets the wiadow tax was found to peers most unequally, to the extent sometimes of 30, 40. and oselisian ,Uy son 60 per cent. Now, he did think if thin tax wee to b^ petseyered in at ail, It was de eirable that it should fill much more equally on the dif ferent theme than at present. la 1708 there wan no lase than 680 000 homes cherivahle to the window tax ; be 1784 the number had declined to 498,000 ; and in 1849 it had further decreased to 473,000. Comparing the present time with 170 k, and embittering thi immense income which has takes glom in the populoi.o, he could not help being street with the small anther of houses sow chargeable to the win dow tax.

Anther mem was the number of exemptions which had taken placa. The Hot of exemptions to this tax was perfectly frightful. The first mayhem to this tact was that of Ireland. The Irish imonbees cons down to the hone la 10423, and were fortune emough to persuade the Chasseellos (lithe haoltelato Si Os day, that ht4aud use too pow to ash. be. aeon& '. -liawthen-eresde e - 41-nea—inessare an the ft an lesde: 6 ==. sonsity. • Ise the urn plies, that elie seltieriey to he eim-teelsaormarliondannalhe money ahead be m eanie] se falai to the pima sienagtag *ULM ai *able; aid If, ja addition to these erne obJests, ay peas add be propped to entourage the good;management of the property purchased, a great advantage would beachiend. The first of then objects, that with reference to the perfect security, was now endeavoured to be obtained, because an advance was only to be made to the extent of half the value of the property. The security would *mien be perfect in itself. In addition to that, La It was of sash • nature that, if the Interest was anger for throe moetka, ibtair petty was to be sold immediately for the of the party analog the money.

It was net Iblended that there should be simply one seri . eats on one estate ; there might be • number of them, but the while of them should not aimed half the value of the properag. These certificates were to be similar to bills of inehange, ad they were moreover to he transferable taking safe 'merely to enter the same of the treaders. at thi registry office. In order to prevent the moat from being a man insuabnnee on the owner, the bill provided that it should net he • debt upon hint—that he or hiegoeds would not be able to be taken for it. In this way the various evils wiring in Kindler cases from receivers and the Court of Chummy would be avoided • and, in sheet, It would he a frame • debate's* Mich would so 11 tee fetter re stteto owner as one of thiedssielpain. (Hear.) It was Important foe those who purchased lead In Ireland to kaow that they could not render that land productive, unless they were possessed of capital to improve the property. It might be said that a measure of this kind would disencumber lands for the purpose of en• eumbeting them again ; but, in sawn to this he would earn, that it was impossible to prevent a man at present from borrowing money to make purchase", and that, by enabling him by this bi.l to pay off the money borrowed by instalments, he would, in many instances, pro bably have that estate improve d and onineumbered in the course of a few years. It was elm the measure must be fee the benefit of toe great mats of the proprietors. There wee, indeed, one oleos to whom it was an obje ct that the land shad be depreciated in Ireland. There were many persons who had estates there charged with heavy *cum brumes, which they were unable to pay. If those estates were sold under the encumbered estatescommission, it became the interest of such persons to depreciate the land, to make it a mere drug, to get money from other mourns, and, open the security of the land, to bay back the estate sold from them as au encumbered estate, and in this way to gee, them selves discharged from all the old encumbrances, and to be charged only with the 'mount of the fresh purchase. This would be • serious calamity If it existed to any considerable extent, and he thought that the present mteaure would have a tendeney to interfere and prevent such a thing from Meng place. Another al vantage would be, that the bill would establish a very valuable recant with respect to the mode of making a simple mortgage a transfer of land, for it would give a clear parliamentary title; and that simple mode would in itself increase the value of the property by several years' purchase. He observed, in conclusion, that all the letters he had received from Ireland, and all the Irish newspapers he had seen, had spoken in terms of approbation of its provisions. (Ilear.) C.elonel DUNNE said he considered himself folly war ranted in having draws public attention in Ireland to the legislation on the subject of these encumbered estates which bad characterised former sessions. The t .me of the speech the house had just heard was se different se p mible from its tone lest year. This bill, it was said, was intended to benefit Irish proprie tors; but the former bill bad benefited Irish speculators. He thanked the hon. and learned mover for the care he was manifesting towards the former claw ; and in return be would ob.erve that it was not his intention at present to oppose the introduction of the bill, although he thought it defective in tot entitling the encumbered pro- Fitter. es well as the pure:tar, to the benefit of the loan. It seemed to be the object to make the unencumbered man become encumbered, if he wanted an &dame.

The last time his noble friend brought forward the subject was when the noble lord at the head of the government introduced his financial statemeat. The noble lord entreated the house to accept his badget en account of the then esisting distress, I nuking that if they agreed to raise the income as to five per cent., distress would be re lieved, and I. two pun or eo prosperity would rulers. It appeared that the noble lord was perfectly right in his prophecy, for sow, at the sad ef two years, there was a ass. sidnage surplus, and they wants r to know what tams won tO be removed. The home did not answer to the noble lord's appeal, they did sot vote the bake% bat Mill none of the calamities occurred which the nab lead had prophesied. The interest on the national debt outinned be paid, and although no ileTeliffie had been permitted to the income tax prosperity had returned, and the couarry now had • surplus. The house was determined not to permit any ingress' In the income tax, and the result showed that when the home was determined on any point the minister contrived to get on without those taxes which he had before devoted so indispensable. (Hear, hear.) In the same way, at the present moment, if the house were determined not to vote this window tax, the government would soon find some way of getting on as well, or batter, without it. They had now a surplus of one and a hall millions, and he wanted to know what taxes , were to be remitted. The Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed to remit the duty on bricks, which, although a good notation in itself, would not relieve the country to the same extent as the remission of the window tax. Then there was a proposal about the stamp duties, which he (Lord D. Stuart) 'sieved would be no remission at all ; and although the probable loss was fixed at 300,0301, he believed that there would be no loss but an actual increase to the revenue. He gave his vote to his noble friend in the firm persuasion that. although he might be unsuccessful now, the question would be renewed again and again, until government Ovoid be at brat obliged to sonde to • demand from the great masses of the people. (Hear.) Sir G. It. PBCHELL said it was now fifteen years since he h ad heard • Chancellor of.the Exchequer say, that if the then member for Wistminver would withdraw his motion, the question of the window-tax should be considered by the government during the following session. That was in 1b35. There had been halt-a-deem Chancellors of the Exchequer since, and the abuse still remained without • remedy. The vexatious character of the impost might be collected from the surcharges which he found in the large majority of cases to be for window duty. But that wen not all, as many preferred submitting patiently to im position to exposing themselves to tae caprices of conflicting judges. A great many arrests had also taken piece, and some men bad lingered eighteen months in gaol for non payment of the assessed taxes. He thought that some restriction should be putou the powers of government, as to arbitrarily kr...plug a man is gaol for an lad, finite period. Another objection to the window tax was, the great ambi guity and doubt existing in the definition of what was really a window. It seemed in fact that very few judges were able to define what was a window. (A laugh.) In his opinion nothing would do short of the total repeal of the tax. (" Divide, divide," from the protectionist beach's.) Sir B. HALL did not mean to detain the hems long from the division for which gentlemen opposite were so im patient, but he wished to make • few obeervtione on the question before the house. And he would submit it to boa. gentlemen opposite, whether the micstituencies of the great towas, who were deeply interested in this ques lion, would thick it respectful to them that • div:sion should be as impatiently called for when their interests were under di musics. (Hear, hear.) With res pect to the question before the house,one of the papers had that morning pointedly described he position of an indi vidual member who bad to propose the remission of • tax in that house. If he brought it forward early in the sr Won, be was told to wait for the financial statement, and if he waited until that state. meat had been made, he was flatly told that the subject wee aot included, and thanfora could not be considered. That was precisely the case with his noble friend, but, although not likely to succeed on the present occasion, he trusted his noble friend would take an early opportunity to bring it forward again. It was his opinion—en opinion for. tiflest by medical authority—that the late visitation of the cholera would have been much less fatal in its result', had the window tax not existed. (Hear, hear.) During the 20 years that he had held • seat in that house, he had on every occasion on which the question was brought forward given his vote in favour of the repeal of this impost, and though the present motion would no doubt be defeated, be hoped his noble friend (Lord Dunexn) would still perseven in his efforts, remembering that without constant agitation ministers never °muted to remove or re duce any tax whatsoever. (Cheers.) Mr. HUME rose amid impatient calls for a division. He hoped hon. gentlemen who were so anxious foe • division would have a little pities's. (Hear.) It appeared to him that some explanation was necessary to put the quest on on • proper footing before hoe. gentlemen proceeded to vote upon at. The question wee, whetter, supposing the house deter mined on mainteinfog the present amount of expenditure, which he was sot, this tax ought not to be abolished never tholes, and • substitute fund from some other source ? (Hear, hear.) He, however, was one of those who soasidered the tax might be removed, and the amount met by economy in the public expenditure. The African squadron would have been pat down by a vote of the house a few days ago but for the fear of turning out the govern ment. Let those how. gentlemen who were favourable to the abolition of that squadron, as an unwise and useless ex penditurs, now vote for this motion, and they would find ministers coming down in a few days with amended esti mates, bringing the expenditure within the revenue. (lieu, hear.) By reducing the African squadron, uputting • stop to those win worki in the Channel Islands, when they were doing little elm bat throwing gold into the sea, government would have the means in their hands for agxdiag the relief sow asked, and it was the duty of that house to check useless and absurd expenditure by reduoiag the taxes and keeping the revenue down to the mural requimmenl*f the several publis departments. Lord 11. GROSVENOR observed, that as the house, was desirous of going at saes to • dimsion, he 'bona detain them only with sae or two remarks. (Hear, hear.) He could not, however, go to • vote without expressing his de termination to support his noble friend the member foe Bath whenever he brought this proposition for the repeal of the window duty forward. (Cheers.) He had received eammunicatioos from several supporters of the government, expressing their surprise that, after their professions in favour of sanitary improvement, they should still inset on continuing the tax upon light and air without any alteration or mitigation. (Cheers and " divide.") Lord DUNCAN, in rep, expressed hi" regret at the silence of the numerous a dvocates of sanitary reform now this qut stion, upon which so mach depended in regard to the health of the pimple, was under discussion. The Chan• eellor of the Exchequer, when he said that nothing new had been advanced la favour of the motion, seemed to forget that he lad given no answer to the midmost he (Dvd Duncan) had made in bringing forward his motion last year, and which he should bring forward again and spin until he succeeded. (Cheers.) Tbe hues then divided, and the numbers were— Fur the notice 77 Against it The result was received with load cheer. by the minority. ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL.

It was not the amount, but the object to which a charity was directed, that ought to be looked at, that Italy might secure the donot's intentions, and present those chess" which bed arisen more from want of au 'cirque.e tribes"' for their minor, than from any fault of those who administered them. The number of small charities with which the bill dealt was enormous; there were 4,600 of an educational character alone, which were directed to most b• neficial purposes, and of which the due application should be ensured. The hill proposed to transfer to the judge. of the county courts the right of dealing with the charities under 301. per annum; all questions as to the appropriation of the charity, and the appointment of the trustees were to be submitted to him; and be was to have the power of laying down new schemes for the administration of the charities, in con• formity with what he considered to be the inteatione of the founders. This was a very extensive power ; it had hitherto been vested entirely in the Lord Chancellor, who, from his eminent position, always in the view of the public, having great responsibility attached to him, and meting always in the pretence of a learned bar, who were reedy to criticise, approve, or mm.* his conduct, had every motive for aotiag on just and uniform principle, in the ad minhtration of these funds. But the power was to be transferred to an cffieer of a very different description a county court judge, sitting in a provincial town, with no bar of any importance before him —the affairs he managed only known to a few persons resident in the immediate neighbourhood—who was not suf ficiently high in his profession to be above the suspicion which always would attach to his decisions, of proceeding in some degree from political or other toelings—who, gene rally speaking, had to deal with questions of common law, and wag very little conversant with the rules of equity. Another evil was this. At present there was a uniform tenor of decisions; but they were about to commit then questions to perhaps 60 judges, each deciding in his separate jurisdiction on points of equity with which he was rot per !Molar!, conversant, forming precedents for himself is each particular ease, and running the risk, if not incurring the certainty, of giving decisions on most important points, when would involve the whole administration of these trusts in difficulty and disorder, not merely for the moment, but for all time to come. lie might be told that there wee an appeal from the decision of the county judge to the Lord Chancellor; but the party appealing must do so at his own expense. (Rear, hear.) The true remedy was in the purification of the Court of Chancery, and in rendering it less dilatory and expensive; not in raising up tribunal., the only remedy for wh , se unjust decisions would be surrounded with all the expense, vexation, and delay which now attended questions of the administration of charity in the first instance. On these grounds he thought the bill required serious consideration on tte past of government. It would be far wiser to undertake such a revision of the proceedings in Chancery as should give to all charities, great or small, the advantage of a proper adainistration, then to endeavour to bolster up what was in itself a bad system, by attemi ting a remedy for a portion of the evil, which would be no remedy at all, but which, though it might saea name expense and litigation in the first in stance, would toad to produce groat dissatisfaction and great injustice.
