HALithift,l; navies reseed man of this bill, said an elaborate report had bee. drawn up in 1143 by the To tt.lew diuntiofin, which inquired into the subject of !nest tummies ; and the oommissioaere torrid in recommei•ding that the taxes should be charged against the owners, instead of the occupiers, as at present. The bid which he then had the honour to More thli sound reading of, wee sot a. extensive In its provisions as that reams. nemidetion, althosigh proceeding in the mime dire lion. It extended to the minty and police rates, but did not apply to the borough rate or Door rats. The rates levied on the c'uniy were kevi•4l en l'sd, sad not ri d house ; and • dis tinction had been noticed by Arthur Young in that regard, to lb. etiect that • house, sot being productive, the uses fell on the occupiers, sat in the owners; whereas, land being productive. the taxes *mild fall on th• owner, not on the occupier. With regard to the poor rat*, there wu a dist:action between it aso the county rate. The poor rate was • p. ruble, tax levied in .aeh ptrish ; it wu • flutuating tax, sad, the fanner being as employer. it was right he should have sums share in the administration of the funds. -- That was not the epee with the wan, rate, which was a tax for g @ 1 pureness over which the farmer had no control, and which watt often levied foe purposes with which he had n• concern. Now, the bill before the bows was not to be coasidered as of a mt-rely nominal character. That there was greet dtasatisfaction in eonaexion with these teats there could be no doubt, because such hod boon sufficiently proved by the somber of petitions mowed to the house in support of a bill introduced at the commencement of the sewim, the object of whi .11 was to dive occupiers of land • share in the adatimistration of their funds. (Hear, hear.) He thought the farmers had a right to complain of the power entrusted ts magistrates to vote away large sums of money for purposes with which they had no concern. (liner, hear ) Bias what was the fate n( the bill to which be had been referrine ? It bad been referred to a committee —what was don* with it he could not say : but it wit cer tain it would not some again Into that hotter in the shape of a bill. The sicced reading of the bill which be then bed the honour to novo was postponed to the present in noise queue* ef that bill having been referred write eommittos. But it should not be supposed that the present bill was introduced in say spirit of antagonism to the toesarr. The County Rites and Expenditure Bill contained a monstrous anomaly, insomuch am It would have admitted tenons to the admi nistration of the taxes who had no there in the payment of these taxes. (Hear, bear.) Without troubling the house any further, sad be the reasons stated by him, he then begged to move the second reading of the bill before the boss*. LEWIS should deny the aceurecy of the state nut of the hon. barons!, when be said " the Poor-law Commissioner, in their report on local taxation recom mended the general rating should be imposed on and kvird from the owners not the eecupion." (Hear, hear.) The 1 . 401!•W COMllliftiONlll recommended a enneolidotion for the pupae of improving the mode of awes ment ; but they did sot recommend that in all claw* of memento the rates should he imposed on the 0.111 , r1 not on the occupiers, except in came of smell tene ments. (Rear ' near.) The bill which they were then called up m to madder introduced the general principle that Is the tenements of el-we—large and smell —.here .mould be a redsetios oftke tete by the (*copiers from the owners. (Hear, hear.) Bet that •,•• a principle that sever bad bea admixed by the law of England. The primly.* we*, that the Widnes of the rate *Mauldin on them:evokers cot on the owners, sad only in special saw, where a proaliar caw could be shown, the relaeloo wr wanitted to be held by the etwpier ursine the oweer. The special ass existed, der instance. in the gameter of small tenements. The reasons were fella mated in the debate that took plies on the intro duction of the metier, at the opening of the ',Won u to why, in the Calf of small tenement*, the owners not the oeceipiera should he rated. (Hear, beer.) If the honourable baronet had confined the blli before the hose to county buildism, such as prisons, court', and lunat'c misplays, he (Mr. C. Lewis) would have made no objection I. the mend reading ; bet because it coespre beaded the peaks rate, highway rate, and county rate is rural, h• amid not give his runt to the second reading ed the .sours, and should move that the bill be read a seemed time that dew six months._ Sir J. PAKINGTON wos uaderstood H soggiest to the hon. baronet, after what bad fallen from the hon. gentleman* ("poke. the proprsety of oith4r &Willie the second reeling. Mr. M. OIBSON raid 'hot from his experience of select committees he was prepared to say that they did not olways discharge the duty swigged them in the ernse in which the house understood they were bound to do. He felt it his duty to call attention to the proceeding of the committee with reference to As bill suhatitted to them at the cow• m•onmen• of the woolos. That committee undertook to consider the b-e• wide of carrying nut the intention of the house by devising machinery by which the principle of the bill could he ...vial into practical application. Sir T. EGERTON rose to order; but Tr.e SPEAKER having decided that the how. gentleman was striely in order. Mr. GIBSON eontinued—He would he unwilling to in fringe tee orders of the house, but the bill to which he was referring and the committee also, had been me nrioned in the speech of the hoe. baronet who alloyed the sawed reading. (Heir, bear) He empidered the measure at present before the home was an extremely injudicious one, and if carried out in the form in wh‘ch it bed been introduced, it would be a great injustice to the owners of property. Ile thought the better way to secure justice would be to allow the ratepayers at large a control, by representation, over the sew wing and expenditure of county rates; and, en tertaining the., views, if the hon. baronet pressed to a Mei sim, he should vote against his motion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ROBERT PALMER approved of the principle of the measure, so tar an that the owner should pay the expense* of all permanent improvements made by the Knant. (Hear.) But if the hon. baronet pressed his bill beyond that coLside ration, be (Mr Palmer) stieuld vote against him. Mr. AOLIONBY suggested to the hon. baronet the good policy of withdrewing the bill. Mr. SOTHERON hoped his hon. friend (Str H. Salford) would listen to the suggestions male, and be content with having the atasare referred to the consideration of a select 1:0111111itte*. Sir H. SALFORD stated his readiness to comply wilt the suggestions mad• by his hon. friends, on the undentanding that the matter should be refined to a select committee. (Hoer, hear ) Capt. HARRIS said the ►ill was founded neither on jus tice aer p Any. Agricultural &siress must be remedied, not by melt wears, but in a fait lust, and equitable manner. Mr. T. EGERTON theist/he the house shoull be cautions how it sanctioned the priseple of the bill. Mr. BUCK übjected to the bill beim/ referred to sealed eemesittee, end sagges'ed the postpinament of it until next fiiiTi. DUCK WORTH thought the views of all parties would be forwknied by refening the bill to a select eissa 'Kitts'. Mr. HILL:MASH enneifered the prineiplis of the bill moat objectionable, and believed the practical consequences of panne' It would be that burden' which fairly beloneed to lithe tenant would be bens* by t►e occupier. The landed Interest could not sustain the operation of such a measure. Huse bill were adopted, its principle would not stop there, but would be extended to poor-rates and other Imposts. Sir H. HALFORD said that as the house appeared gene rally opposed to the bill, he would not press It to a mooed readinc, but he would iatroduce a similar measure early In the reit session. The second reading wae then negatived without a di vision. LARCENY SUMMARY JURISDICTION BILL. On the order of the day fer thirl reading of tlis 6111 being moved by Sir J. PAILINOTOX, Sir 0.

Alter SOIM remarks by Colonel SIBTEIORT and Mr. }TWI LIT, the Peoond reading was affirmed, on a division, by 103 against 81. The bill was then read a second time and ordered to be committed on the 19:h of July. ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS BILL. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved the second reading of this bill. He commenotel by referring to an at idiot which some time since had taken place on the Milland Counties Rail. way. An offer of ISO! had beta made tit the injured man, which was refused, and the am was brought before the Warwick assume, on which oessettet Mr. Intake Mauls begged to know whether the railway company were serious in their opposition to the demand made,. and said that if they refused it they ought to post a notice at their Amines to the effect that if any amid/nut occurred at their line no medical assistance would be provided. The company then applied to the supe rior courts, where the unsatisfactory state of the law as re garded railway accidents was made known. A case had ',c entred on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, in which an accident occurred to a Miss Heywerth. A medical man was went for and he found the ladjinsensible. He attended her for some time, and then proceeded to recover coupon's ties for his services in the Canty Court of Manchester, and the company were ordered to pay the expenses. Another secident warred on the same railway, by means of which • Mr. Whitten lost his life, and in that ease the court at Wakefield held that the company were- not liable, but that their officers were. A dread'ul accident occurred again oath* Yorkshire and Lancashire Railway, by which • stoker was thrown of the line of rails, and had his leg cut off The company were called upon in that case of extremity to send kw medical assistance, but they refused, and, leaving the amputated l; g up n the road, they sent the man on to the dispensary at Bolton, and he die I. Now, the question was, should the law allow railway conspenies to tr.at unfottu. nate passengers is that meaner? (Hear.) The kill which be proposed did not seek to make the cesareans liable in all test/ for the expense of medical attendance, but it paid; d that they shculd in the first instance be liable to send for a medical man when an accident occurred, and It gave them power to obtain the amount &forwards from the permit injured, if be was rich, and the injury was occa sioned by bee own eareleunme, or from the parish, if he was a pauper. He contended that this was just, and that disci pline on railways was analegoes to discipline en board tai grant ships, which were compelled en carry surgeons. He was at • loss to know how it emid promote the interest of nilwsy a empties if they increased the insecurity of the public in ease of eccideets occuring ; and if it were said that railway accident, were rare, then might it with fairness be alleged that the retponsibtlity imposed by this measure would be small. He believed the bill, if pined, would be an act of mercy to the poor, and that it would impart sails faetion to the country. Mr. ELLIS protested against the iajustice of confining this obligedion to railway companies, and moved to defer ;he seemed reeding of the bill for six mantra. Mr. ADDERLEY supported the bi.l, which cast no lit bility upon railway companies, except in cases of their own . . . Colossi SIBTHORP also rapnerted the biil, and reratted that it did so: Ito further, and compel railway companies to =skeane), compensation to petals who sulfaed through their n•ilret_ Mr. LABO UCII ERE could not recommend the house to Ism to the hill, which was extremely objectionable in principle. Its effect wee to alter the general law of prin cipal and went; to compel railway companies in all casts to coil in medical 'moistest*, they being resporsihle in the first justices for the exstenee. At "resent the companies were ultimately liable for medical assistance in accidents &thins from the fault of their Navas's, and there wets no menial eireuestanern which would Justify as application to Wm ofu particular rule. . . . . Mr. SPGONER contended that there were special cir cumstances, and denied that the object of the bill w I to 'Per the general liability of railway companiis ; it merely pro sided that there should be no di lay in the first instance in aesdir R for wedieal away...nee. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said his objection was that the till did alter the law. and in one caw only, and no thing wan an b4Ol as exceptional legislation. Mr. RICARDO likewise °poised the bi.l. The honee then divided, when there splAtared For the second reading Against it The bill was tn. reason lost. LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL. Oa our return to the gallery _ Sir G. GREY wu speaking. We were informed that ho bed moved that the order for considering this bill at 12 o'clock to-day be discharged, and that the house should facet at 4 o'clock, the adjourned debate on the foreign policy of the governmect being the cause assigned for the change. Order discharsed accordingly. The other orders on the paper were then a ally post poned to different days. IMPROVEMENT OF TOWNS IN IRELAND. KEOGH obtaine dl;avetO bang in and brought in a bill to give farther faeilithe to town eorntnissionen Le the Improvement of Towns in Ireland. ENGINES FOR TAKING FISH (IRELAND) BILL CONOLLY moved that the committee on this hat consist of 17 members, and that Captain Jones and Mr. Arehdall be added to it. Mr. ANSTRY opposed the notion. He had given notice already that four ed4itional newts should he added, including the two now proposed, and he therefore considered this motion unnecessary. His motion was given notice of for to-morrow (this day) Aa HON. MEMBER moved that the house he counted ; mid only 21 umbers beireg present, the house adjourned at 10 granules to 6 o'clock. ROYAL GENZIAL ANNUITY SOClETY.—Yesterday • "special festival," in aid of the fund, which is being raised for the purpose of erect ing a buildior to be devoted to this institution, took place at the London T , Bishops pte-streth Lord Feverskant in the chair. About 70 people sat down to dinner, and the entertainment derived additional interest from the feet that, contrary to the usual custom on these occasions, the company consisted par ly of ladies. The effect of this arrangement was, that although there was • sight check up°n the hilarity of the guest., the objects of the charity appeared to meet with • warmer response thus might have been the case under ordinary circumstances —The Chairmen, in proposing " Prosperity to the Royal General Annuity Society," pointed out the grounds upon which the institution claimed the support of the public towards the erection of the building which was now in contemplation. He thought that the object sought to be attained was well worthy of their benevolent consider ation, and he wee glad to have it in his power to read to them a letter which Mr. Aldrich, the secretary of the so ciety, had received from the Hon. Mr. Phipps, stating that her Majesty was swilling to extend her pa tronage to the institution. The letter was as follows: Sir,-1 have the honour to acquaint you that her Ma. jetty the Clasen has been graciously pleased to arguiesos is the prayer of the memorial of the directors of the Royal General Annuity Society, that the new asylum to be built may be ealbd the Royal Victoria Annuity Asylum. I have received her Majesty's further commands to forward to you the enclosed cheque for 601 in aid of the funds for the erection of that building.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient humble servant, C. B. Friths.— The noble °linkman concluded somewhat lengthyspeech (fa which he detailed the origin, progress, and oMects of the institution) by pointing out the neceseity that existed for erecting the proposed building; and by stating that he I would gladly follow the example of her Majesty by sub scribing 601. towards the fund.—Several gentlemen MIMS. airily addressed the company in favour of the object in view, and before the close of the evening subscriptions were &soothed amounting to upwards of 1,0001.

Tres Bonn is very angry at the tone and tenour of the speech delivered upon Tuesday night by Lord PALMILIPSTON ; and, being very angry, it cannot con ceal its vexation. We must say in candour that we think it him cause. The touo was too calm, the tenour too simple, direct, and manly to produce any other impression on our disappointed and defeated contemporary. The noses had undettaken to get rid of Lord l'AusEnsroat who has long stood in the way of its employers. Again and again he was warned to quit the place they wanted for a crtature of their own; and repeatedly the wanting was accompanied with moustached mottoes of the direful consequences to himself should he refuse to go. Finding at length that he was determined not to flinch or fly, there re mained no other alternative than to destroy his cha racter as a miuister and a man. The attempt has accordingly been made; and the Times has been the chosen instrument of the cabal. To it the poisoned weapons were abundantly sup ' plied. By it they were ekilfully and perseveringly used. The victim at whom they were aimed uttered no complaint, changed not his position, and gave no indication either of resentment, iojury, or en feeblement. His enemies gathered new courage, and their hopes rose high. lie must soon sink now, overwhelmed and forsaken by holiday friends. The assault was pressed anew with more vigour and yin dictivenees than ever; and the Cossack shout of triumph was already raised over his fall. But the forbearance of the man is at length ex hausted, and the s feces of the minister is at length broken. Unscathed by the malignity of which he had so long been the object, imperturbable in his consciousness of right, unprovoked by taunts or sneers or falsehoods into an attitude unworthy of a statesman vindicating his policy in the lime of parliament and the world,—the noble lord proceeded to answer one by one, the charges made against him, and in a man ner of which every liberal heart in the realm must be proud, scattered every accusation to the winds. A nobler specimen of true parliamentary eloquence has not been heard in our time. Free from extrinsic ornament or any traces of that inferior and more factitious grace which belongs to rhetoric, the speech of the Foreign Secretary was from first to last • close and minute statement of fact", with but brief, and few, but most touching and natural appeals to the great moral truths whereby the conduct of nations as of individuals must be judged. Lord PALMERSTON has never been thought of es an orator; yet he has pro nounced the greatest speech that has been heard in parliament for many yi ars. So true is the ancient proverb that the great secret of eloquence is to be in earnest. It is impossible to read the point-blank denials, the animated ✓ecitals, the fearless appeal to a just and generous people for their free verdict, which constituted that magol,nut display, wthont (slings of the deepest sympathy and admiration. The nation who c iuld suffer such a man to be hunted down by • cowardly and bullying band of conspirators, deserves indeed to be without • minister capable of has tr.ling his own position, ur of sacrificing his own ease for their safety and honour. But it cannot, and it shall not be. The country is awake. From every quarter come impatient in dications of the sense the people entertain of the ini quitous alma, and the still Mum means which, in a moment of apathy, seemed to have • chance of being successful. The issue in the House of Com mons is no longer doubtful. Public opinion is seldom slighted or deliberately misrepresented there, when it has been intelligently formed and distinctly ut tered. Out of doors there is literally but one senti ment regarding the Russian vote of the Hones of Lords, and the necessity of giving it a flat and full contradiction in the House of Commons. The people of these kingdoms do not agree that the rule suggested by M. GUIZUT and Count NEs- SELRODK fur the desertion and abandoumtut of our kinsmen in foreign lands, is to be endured or acquiesced in. Our fathers held every tyrant ac countable for any injury wrongfully done to the meanest and poorest of their fellow-subjects, and, by Cote's help, so will we. We can afford to pardon and to pity the fury of the Times. The speech was teeny provoking. It was too cool, too clear, and too convincing. Its effect was like that produced upon the saucy children in the Christmas tale, whoa. brittle though pointed weapons the jolly old gwekeepor picks one after another out of his coat which they had failed to penetrate, and breaks contemptuously across his knee. Nothing could be much more provoking; we admit it. Ouly we would suggest to our enraged contemporary, that, for decency's sake, it would be wiser not to try, by misreporting, to conceal the cause of its chagrin. If it had printed t e speech fairly as it was delivered, and os it was reeei red, people could understand better what had put. the Times in such a passion, and they would have made allowance accordingly. But it is a manifest act of weeknest to endeavour to evade this by dint of mere m's-printing of what has been said, and suppression of the enthusiastic cheers with which it was hailed, when at the asme time a piteous wail of discomfiture is suffered to find unbidden utterance. Tut Express has, we find, given offence to a small cote, ie of amiable, zealous, and inteile.3tuel per sons, presided over by the Rev. Professor MAURICE, of King's College, in the Strand, who, with more faith in their Pere than logic in their essays, de nounce the interposition of capital and capitalists be tween industry and consumption, and who, with greater disinterestedness than oonsiitency, are them selves furnishing capital to a s er i es of animas' associa tions, which, in their turn, abjure competition, ya offer to undersell the rival establishments of their former masters. This enthusiastic, but somewhat credulous, little coterie have dubbed themeelves Christian Socialist, and, at intervals, they issue occasional tracts, price one penny, on the Socialism of M. LOUIS BLANC, so modified as to be t. nable with the Thirty-nine Articles and the Preferments of the Church of Eng land. The fourth of these tracts, just published, is . on "The Working Association of Paris; it professes to bring an account of those bodies, on the strange authority of "an English nobleman," down to the middle of last April; and this account it is, in a con cluding note, "trusted, will be considered a sufficient answer to a writer in the E.rpreu of April Ist., who tells the tailors Oat if they rely for improve ment in their condition on the practice of coopera tion, they will be just as miserably disappiinted h ere as their craft was in Paris." On this Tract we propose to make a few remarks; not certainly in defence of our position that the Ateliers Nationaus had failed ; for unless the real object of those " co-operative " associations were the organisation of the most desperate and most terrible "army of misery " the world ever saw, their failure is a matter of history, which it is simply ridiculous to attack; so on that point no observation can be wee.- eery. But, believinir that the want of regular argu ment, of logic, of knowledge, and of 000201011 sense, 00 more prevents our Christian Socialists from doing mischief proportionate to their scanty numbers and small means, than the want of discipline and of aegis neon prevented their unchristian brethren in Peri -1 producing frightful misery to themselves and their country, we mean not to defend our own pisition, but to assail their stronghold. Tract IV. paints an attractive picture of the Chris tian fraternity of the Trade Guilds of the middle agi s, in France, especially ; confesses, without ex plaining, the corruption of those . bodies into associa tions more immediately oppressive to the artisans themselves than to the rest . of the community ; add claims for the existing amenations the principle, aud, in their limited field, the merits of thessOnilds before their fell. Hertel/ this claimed for their red %ITO- 1 lioanies the med meal !Statham, without which our Chratisa Socialists could not explain their sympathy with this apparent novelty, the encoess of the tailor., cooks (edniived to be very partial), hair dremers. upholsterers, and some other trades Of Peril in their small associations, is insisted epos, sad their imitation in London is recommended. We do not stop to quietism the faro untaleed In the narrative, or to inquire tato the importance of these boasted emulations; we prefer seeing to what it is that all which is narrated really amounts. Alter carefully going over the story, we And that, if we visited these establishments at Paris, we should, en inspection, beam unable to discover, without explana tion, anything pecaliar in their workshops, as we found ourselves unable on a visit to the Christian Sociarst Tailors' Institution in this metropolis. They are (according to the tale told) well managed shops ; paying wage* to their workpeople like other shops ; taking orders and receive°, payment from the public like other shops; and buying their raw material like other shops. They dismiss bad or disorderly workmen —as, he many trades, other shops, we are terry to say, cannot do. The pe coliarity so much boasted of is, that they are not managed by a muter (we do not shrink from the horrid word) alone responsible for profit or loss, so cording as the business is well or ill-managed; bat by one or more managers, who perform all the duties of a master (save supplying capital, and engaging and discharging workmen), who snap td more or less by the workmen, and who are furnished with capital or credit, either by the government (as is the case with the Parisian cabinet makers), by friends in the monied classes, or by the associates themselves; and that the profits, which it is assumed will always arise, are divisible amongst the workmen, over and above these wages, in moms direct or indirect minter, instead of belonging to the master. So far from the success of such unions causing sur , prim, or being at variance with the experience of triode and the laws of political economy, we must say —harvest° referens—that Mcmnus himself—a really great as well as a truly benevolent man—would have been surprised were it otherwise. Foe it turns out that, no peculiarity existing but that of management, any evil opzration of that peculiarity is averted by precautions that could not fail to be considered ample even by Baron STVLTZ, of CafOrd-street, or Mr. WOODPALL, of Waterloo-plue. First, the workmen are picked men. Jacques Bonlomme cannot walk into the work-room, jump on to the tailor's board, and proceed on the sound of the bell to the Salle u manger, any more than John Bull can go into the Carlton Club, and hob and nob with Col. SIBTUORP over the seven o'clock joint. A new member must be proposed by an existing member, who can speak as to his " mo rality and capacity,'" laborious habits,"" being a good workman in his own line," or according to some other stringent formula of the kind. If he proves unworthy—if he keeps St. Monday (fait le lundi) well :—" a man would soon be turned out if he did." Amongst picked workmen, then, a stricter discipline than possible in ordinary shops (as every muter is but too well aware) is maintained. And what manu facturer, great or small, but knows that in such a body of workmen, so ruled, there is at once the certain means of prosperity—of commanding public favour by excellence and punctuality of work ? But to this recommendation, some at least of these l'aris associations have added—superior cheapness! Yes; these declaimers against "captal," against "the money power," against "competition," against "extortionate innovation," have, it turns out, based their u,erted maces' on the reduction which they offer on the price at which the "tyrant mtatere" perform their work. The CJoks, par example, pre tend to give "as good a breakfast" for Yd, as formerly cost tiel.; and the Masons, in the very same sentence in which they promise that " that anarchical compe tition which is now killing industry will disappear, and all men will be able to live as brothers together," offer, as the means to that end, "to undertake work at a cheaper rate."" The fact, as developed in this tract, is, that these associations are contrivances for dispensing with one class of workers who have hitherto been employed— , viz., the superintendent and furnisher of tools and materials, or in other words, the master. Of slop selling, the tract says, "there is no field left for co operation between master and workmen. The work men must beat the master slopseller utterly out of the fi. Id or perish." And then? April? The ma'ter's profit being thus divided, on what must the next demand for more funds to divide among an incressing body of workpeople fall ? On the public? Ard afterwards, again, when months to be fed have got more increased or when the first public calamity lessens the public means of purchase, on whom can want ultimately come—sudden, intense, irresistible—but on the work reap'e themselves, between whom and its very first descent the intermediate reservoir of the master's capital no longer exists. Alas, for such folly from such places! The vaunted association for averting the horrors of competition are, then, nothing but competition in its most odious form ; competitive corporations, without souls responsible to heaven, or faces to blush before men; of whom M. Lours BLANC (writing however, of Jesuit priests and not of Socialist tailors) says " it is at once the vice and the strength of every separate association, that selfishness, seemingly ex tinct in each member, reappears in the whole with indomitable energy." Words so strong, so true, and so admirably illustrative of the alleged success of these contrivances fur bringing workmen in yet more direct competition with workmen than society has yet called for—that to them alone we might hove entrusted our reply to the Tract we are noticing; without adding the cutting sarcasm of the rival so cialist, M. Paounimx, that a certain association, heeded ;n this very Tract, was " a monopoly existing at the expense of surrounding society." As to the associations themselves, in their real character of competitors, we own that they may furnish a new form of competition to which it is pro b ibly the interest of consumers to give every fair en couragement, not the least of their merits being the discipline and improved character they may raise amongst the workmen of the trades in which they are formed. To the artisans of this metropolis we give credit for discernment enough in such a matter as this to see how the performances, for which credit is claimed, as to promises, are from supporting the principles of mere flatterers; to discover that no argument against the present organization of society as a mutually dependent mass of employers and employed, of buyers and sellers, can be drawn from the superior comfort (if there be any) in the esta blishments of pattern masters, to apply, however dis agreeable it may appear, their true name, to the associated tailors and tailors' association. It is the in cendiary language, and the partnership with incen diaries, affected by these tract writers, who proclaim themselves to be noblemen, scholars, and ecclesiastics, and who are certainly more of these than red repub licans in reality, that call for public notice and repre hension. De mortals ntl nisi bonum. The justice of this maxim has been questioned by no lees a casuist than Dr. SAMUEL JOHNSON. The learned doctor sturdily maintained that truth only should be spoken of the dead, whether that truth were favourable or unfa vourable to tit ir characters. Even the doctor, how ever, we should imagine, might have relented from the sternness of his principle in favour of such dead as had been put to death under circumstances so painful as the defunct County Rates Bill, which called Sir HENRY HALFORD parent or sponsor. Never, indeed, was poor bill or being so rudely hustled and jostled out of existence as this unfortu nate measure, in yesterday's forenoon sitting of the House of Commons. It was who to get a kick at it as it flew past them while being flung over the table. Mr. CORNEWALL LEWIS dealt it • knock-down blow; Sir J. PAKINOTON advised its mourning parent to put it out of existence; Mr. MILNER GIBSON kicked it; Mr. AOLIONDY cuffed it; Mr. 130THIRON was for having a select committee empannelled to try it; Mr. BUCK, with questionable humanity, would have had abler° form administered to it, to keep it in a state of sus pended animation till next year, when of course it would again have to run the gauntlet; Mr. lima. I YARD was for giving it its Vat/Nada 000 e. Sir HENRY HALTON!) listened and looked it mute despair; and at last, seeing there was no remedy, like another Vitamins, throttled hie bantling with hie own bands, to save it from maltreatment by others. It would be the height of cruelty to whisper one word against the character of a bill thus buffeted out of the world amid jeers and contumely without one whisper of sympathy to soothe its dying moments. And 'sit is int=le to say any good of it, the only elternatie• But wonderfsl though the unanimity of honourable members in the opinion that Sir HENRY HALFORD . II bell was not the bill, scarcely lets remarkable wee their conenrienee la the opinion that a bill—some Lied of county rates bill or another—ie very much wanted. Messrs. 801116 RON and PACKS wished to have the bill referred to a select committee to see whether they could make anything of it ; Sir Jonre Docetworrer wished to have the whole question of county rates Waned to a select committee : Mr. Mot hoped thatmore direct control would be Riven to county ratepayers over the expenditure • and Mr. MILERS ( ARSON , while expressi ng a s i m il a r wish, in dieated how effect might be given to it. It is agreed on all hands, therefore, that reform—a pretty . sweeping reform—is required in the mode of tal,:oleng, levying, and expending county rates. Tnis conviction does not date from yesterday. Sir JOHN Ducxwoarn regretted that the work had not been taken in hand long ago ; and Sir lons might have recollected, when he euggested the appointment of a select committee on the subject, that a royal commission was not merely nominated, but had reported on it years ago. Strange to think that the defictive ad ministration of our county rates has long been pl.- claimed • that the vices of the exi s ti ng managemen t have been proved and exposed by a royal commis sion ; that every party in the House of Commons is mare anxious than another to have them amended; and yet that nothing mare can be done than to bring iu a bad bill at the beginning of the session in order to throw the abortion out about the middle of it. In ordinary circumstances the session — couldacarcely be considered too far advanced to forbid immediate action bring taken in the matter of county rates. But the Greek squabble, and its probeble conse quences, render this hopeless. Let our comity reformers, therefore, prepare to take the field at the beginning of the next session. The report of the commission above alluded to renders the select corn mitee recommended by Sir ,I. Duestworern unneces sary for the mere collection of evidence. But a select committee might be of use as • preparatory step to the bringing in of a well-concerted bill. fhe report of the commission, with the stray items of supplementary information afros publishe i in parliamentary documents, might be referred to the committee, which would be able, from these materials, to report, in a few days, an outline of a workable metier., with the reasons in support of it appended. The members of the select committee might then be charged, or allowed, to act as the pro moters of a bill framed upon their own report, and to watch over and expedite its passage through the house. No baltmeasure will do. The various tinkerings and partial remedies suggested and proposed Iron time to time, ought at once to be thrown overbaard. The evils of the county rate system are mainly attri butable to two ceases. The one is the multipli city of small special rates, respecting which it is doubtful whether they are legally exigible or nut; the other the irresponsible priition and inefficiency of the hands to is hum the power of impcsing and spending the rates is delegated. The report of the commission contains an accurate history of the ri,e and progress of the various rates, a classified expo sition of their objects, and estimate of their amount. Armed with this knowledge it will be comparatively easy to define and enumerate in a bill the mica's objects fir which it is competent to the local adminis trators of county finance to impose rates. The rate payer would thus be enabled to know what he can equitably end legally be called upon to pay. The adrsiniarntion is at present vested in the hands of the justices; a body doubly objectionable, as being fenced by ail kinds of swot, ry immunities, and as representing only one class of the ratepayers, and re presenting even that class imperfecly, geeing that they are the nominees of the ministers in office for the time being. The whole financial business of each county ought to be transferred from the jusices to a county board, elected at brief intervals by al! the ratepayers. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNISSDAT EVENING, The absurd exaggerations ablut the ()ran conspi racy too mainly trsiseable to • foolish proclamation of General Pchosier, couched in the most violent lan guage. General PeHasler is the hero who roasted the Arabs in the caves of Dahra. The papers are still occupied with the ptrt played by General Changarnier in the debate of .Monday, and the iaterpre•ation to be assigned to this signifi cant act. The project of restoring the monarchy is for the moment rather at a discount. We heAr much more of the prolongation of the President's power.. The Russian cabal here cannot conceal their cha grin at the enthusiastic reception of Lord Pahmer ston in the House of Commons, and the t .Ittris of confluence bestowed upon him by the Sort reign. The rectified fist of the division on the 1) station Bill, given by the Moniteur of this morning, shows that of the seventeen chiefs of the majority, three, namely, Jules de Lestevrie, General de St. Priest, and de Seze, voted against the government, while M. Ilerryer abitained. Cabrera has just paid a flying visit to Paris with his late-vrun English bride. whose dower threatens the throne of Isabel with fresh danger. After pre senting the Condesa de Morella to his numerous friends here, the Carlist chieftain set out on a visit to the Count of Montemolin. Messrs. Burritt and Richards, delegates of the Peace Society of the United States and Great Britain. have recently visited Paris, to make preparations with the Frecch committee for the Peace Congress of MO, which is to be held at Franktort. These gentlemen c3avoked a meeting, at which were present M. de Corntenin, member of the Council of State; MM. Cirnot, Frateisque Bouvet, and Coquerel, represtm- Wins of the people; Dunoyer, of the Institute, and other distingutshed men. After a long discussion it was decided that the congress shall be held at Frank fort, on the 22ad of August next. Pi the sitting of the Legislative Assembly to-day the bill which opens to the Meister of Public Works an extraordinary credit upon the budget of 1849 was dismissed. M. N.iel Portia reproached the ex-Mi nister of Public Works, M. Lacrosse, with having exuended large sums of the public money without being authorised by votes of the Assembly, and moved a reduction of half a million. M. Lacrosse mentioned, in the course of his defence, the additions made to the Elyeek, which cost 300,0004. M. Charms found proofs of the irregular proceedings of the ex- Minister of Public Works in the report of the c im mittte on provisio:.al twelfths. M. Peuy re plied that the responsibility alluded to did nut affect the ministry of public works, but his own de partment of finances. He criticised severely the scandal nis expenditure of the provisional government. On being put to the vote M. Parfait's reduction was rejected by 421 against 189. Then the articl e s of the bill were successively adopted; but the expenses for maintaining the Elysi:e in repair were not allowed without a division, which gave 396 votes against 201 in favour of the credit demanded on this account. M. Veleutin demanded to defend himself for having been called to order, and taxed the president of the Assembly with having used language unworthy of his post. Tie president moved the censure of M. Valentin with temporary exclusion. M. Emile de Oirardin observed that the president, in order to have the privilege of severity, ought to set a good example, which however was far from being the case. He accused the president of having said yesterday, while stating that he, Oirardin, had not answered an appeal hem M. I)ain, that it waits challenge declined. M. Oirardin was called to order. M. Dein, upon rising to explain, was also called to order. Thee ruse nibfe of the bill was then adopted, by 411 votes against 179; after which the sitting broke up. ■OL'IL~& 96N / Mb Si 93 INY PARK has X I he I I lkary.

On their arrival the yess-I, a tine sp.ciens East Indians*, was inspected, and general satisfaction was expressed at the accommodation and arrangement for the emigrants. Those who were leaving on the present (=aeon amounted to about sixty in number • consisting for the moat part of young females. They were placed opposite their berths and their names severally called over, and on each answering to her name a testimonial of charaver and a copy of the regula tions to be observed on board was handed to her. In a few instances, where the parties were unable to read, they were told that they :could acquire that ;advantage during the voyage, as a teacher was on board for the purpoe. instructing them. They were then addressed by the lion. Mr. Kinnaird and the Rev. Mr. Queeketi, and the neceoity of observing obedience, mutuel kindness, and go. co n eutauct while on board strongly inculcated.
