Os the action thee the Oidway Harbour Bill be read a naiad time, The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that the bill was merely for pavan cif renemeting a clams which paned the bare last year. Be had pigtail' to present to their lordships I. Lamar of the bill, as behalf of the ratepayers, bet that petit/an was presented solely on the understanding that the Meant pocket antreet would be carried out. haw mach as that sant/set was see to be rammed, he begged to mess that the bill be withdrawn from the motion paper. The Earl of CLANCARTY thought the noble marina was fully justified in taking the course he proposed ; but the bill was so vicious in pnaciple, and was so palpably un. jest towards the unrepresented body of ratepay en in Gel. way, that be (the Berl of Clancarty) regretted that, instead of being withdrawn, it bad sot been formally rejected by their lordships. Tbu motion for the second reading of the bill was with drawn. that proposal communications took plea with the Castle, sod the result we., owing to objections takes by Captaia Crofton and other', the arrangement was not carried into effect. He found from a letter dated the 17th of May, that on the 3rd of that month General Lamm wrote that it we. not intended to fill up the vacancy till time had been given to judge whether Om service required h. On the 24th of May he received a letter containing the propel about Cap tain Barlow, and as icon as he (Mr. Cardwell) bad NOMIOII the sanction of the Treasury to the arrangement, he wrote asking for • statement of the results of the arrangements whoa =perigee. should have enabled • judgment to be funned with regard to it.

Oa the motion for going into committee of supply. Load ELCHO roes to move that in the awoke of this Loose it is not desirable that the new Fotirip-ofilee should bilerected according to the Palladian design now exhibited fa • committee-room of the house. Tie building =was to be needed. en the site for the new as sise- 1 was the special design made by the Prime Ifi hibraelf, sod be thought la should be able to show Gil this ems the feet ; net, bedded, that the Prism Mideler bed with his own bead made the drswing, bat that it wee es much the work of the Prime Minister as any despeeth that ear ever written by a Foreign-office clerk was the week et his noble friend at the head of the foreign department. Ie the essential qualities of oak oneverenee, sad light, the Gelltle was preferable to the Irina style for the Ferelpo °Mee. He did not, however, wish to the hew to any style, but urged sit to be careful in s e eltiodag• alp. amid Dot adopt or that tioukt lead to great expense and not be creditable to the counWy. Our street architecture, he observed, wee mesa rough already, and he celled upon the home not to he • party to its further degradation. Mr. C. BUXTON seconded the motion. Mr. OOWPER mid neither the noble lord who made the motion nor the bon. gentleman who seconded it, rpm* to express any decided partiality for either style, but the noble lord had spoken ' with extraordinary contrept of Italian architecture, which he said had loot its hell as lei lie opinion. People were very apt to attribute to sahib opinion their own opinion —(hear, hear)—and be 1•11 happened to hear opinion upon these two 'designs, Jur the I revere of those which had been heard by hie Delis friend. Illustrious architects and other persons 411111•• peter to form a judgment upon the queteliss had told him that Mr. Brit's Palladian drip did him the greatest credit, and bore the palls ever all buildings hitherto erected in that style In the muds, I It did the highest credit to Mr. Scott, who wee • Goals I architect, to have achieved our success in • Paliadisa * sign. It was not, therefore, fair to Mr. Scott to give Ile entire credit of the design to the noble lord at the lord lir the government. (A laugh.) Mr. Scott had hest east fat the usual course whether he would mks a diets ie the Palladian style, and with a just eneliderie In his own powers be had undertaken to do so. The question was, which was the national style? Strictly speaking, we had no national style, unless, indeed, we went to Stonehenge for our designs. B ut the style in which we VW* generally accustomed to erect our buildings was what wee called the Italian style, as it was the beet suited to mo dem hfe. London as a city was no doubt built in the 'sham or the horizontal style. When the house had to select the style of the new Foreign-office, they ought to look gist to the question of convenience, and the style which united the greatest number of conveniences was no doubt the haw Assuming that in regard to 0011•016111100 and swum, they bad made a good choice, they bad seat to osepider the question of association. It wee an advantage to have • building so built that persons should know from looking at it what wee the purpose for which it was in tended. Cherokee for this reason were built in the pointed style. It was mama that in the erection of the Heuer of Parliament • style should be chosen connected with the period when this house first acquired its liberties. But with roped to the Foreign-office, there was no reason why it s ho uld be associated with past times. On the contrary, they wanted all the serrations of the Foreign-clam to be connected with the present. Another material object meet be to mate a new building look well, grouped with the build ings in its neighbourhood. This Foreign-office was to be fa canneries with Italian buildings. If any on tisvened the town from north to south, in passing through Repot-street or Belgravia, by Charing-cross dowu to Parliament-start, he would find nothing but Italian buildings, and theForeign office, the culminating point of the whole, ought to harmo nise with the rest. Another object is building so Modems an edifice was that it might give pleasure to those who looked at it. He undertook to soy that for or person who took delight in • Gothic building, there were 30 who derived ' greater *rum from an Italian building, and he referred to the example of Paris to show the estimatka in which the Italian style was held at the poser dr. Upon than grenade he thought the ge verseles• were justified in asking the house to pont the vote width they would propose, and which would be expended la the ciectlem of a building of the design represented by the eb• entice end drawing now in the Tea Room. His noble bird seemed especially anxious to exclude that design, bat kw trusted the house would not l.114)11t to the proposition. Mr. LAYARD would recommend that the arise et M. Scott should be referred to a committee el peide. men, members of that house, who asdewleed the to matter and who would be able to out improvements. Be understood Mr. Scott was to do this. If some alterations were made in the Gothic he believed it would meet with the approbation of the house and of the country. (Hear, hear.) That which was meet required was colour, and the different quarries of the country would afford abundant materials from which a really fine and beautiful building could be erected, one which would satisfy the house and the country. (Hear, bear.) Mr. 127.`E ridiculed the notion of introdusing ries inde Gothic buildings. It wee about the met wasolesse proposition he had ever heard in oonnectioe with delis architecture, and he challenged the hon. member to out any Gothic building of repote in which or of colour was to be found. The introduction of terra err material into structures of the Gothic character would be • great misfortune asst mutake~ Having quoted the opinion of Mr. &Alen in favour of the Italian style of architecture, the hon. member expressed a lope that the matter would be left in the hoods of the executive government. 11 that were done he felt Aided that the new Foreign-office would be no dia gram to Ered, but on the contrary, they would have • lino buildingWapted to the purposes for which it was intended. The Gothic Aryl* of architecture was the right thing in the right place, but that pima wee not the House of Commons or the Foreign-Mies (Hear, hear.) Lord J. /dANNICRS Add the house should deal with this question upon the principle of common seam Ave architect had been appointed for this work, and the styled tats work naturally followed the appointment. Mr. Scott was the int Gothic architect of the day, and ought to have had fair play; whereas the First Minister said to him, " Yoe shell meet the building in the only style which lea found favour in my sight." This was not fair to Mr. Scott, or to the other architects who had had premiums for de signs in the Italian style. After some remarks by Mr. D. Forrest-Mt, Mr. OSBORNE wished to know, not the style of the building, but what it would cost. He thought that the whole thing should be reopened for competition. He warned the house to be upon its guard ; it was the worst building committee in the world. Lord PALMERSTON—The battle of the books, the battle of the big-radians and the little-endiaus, the battle of the green ribanda and the blue ribands were as nothing compared with this battle of the styles. (A laugh.) But I mar say I think that if I was to pro an impartial verdict as to the issue, I should say that the Gothic has bra entirely defeated. (Laughter.) The noble lord who sits opposite made it a reproach to me that whereas he, an ardent sod enthusiastic devotee, as my bun. friend has called him, of the Gothic, appointed Mr. Scott as architect, superseding those who had won the highest prices, and therefore stepping out of the way , of proper selection—that whereas he appointed not say solely and entirely, he. cause Mr. Scott has great professional merits, but merely became he was versed in Gothic architecture—that on that coconut, I who succeeded him differing with him in opinion as to the style, but out of deferetme to Mr. Scolifs vested claiais,having conferred upon him the appointment of archi tect, I was obliged to adopt, therefore, not only the architect, but the style of the noble lord. That is cer tainly requiring a gnat deal too much by a parra who leaves ellise of the person who moss is his pier. (Hear, bear.) I have heard it made a reproach to a new gerromont that they have adopted the measures el their psideesemon, bet I think it ought to be no re roar to me that I did not follow their example in the Mosel imelare. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord laid great strew upon what Ise asserted to be the prevailing taste r exemplified by the mere of the country. He mentioned lam towns, bet be kept that some of the noblest edifier is User large km= are in the Italian style. He talked of Liverpool, bull he forgot the St. Goorge's-halL FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR BILL.

He hod. nevertheless, no isteetioo to do so. He had been advised kr resume the subjoin next year ; but whether that advioe had been given to him in sanest or not, he hardly knew.

THE EDUCATION COMMISSION. Lord LITTELTON spobe with the view of eliciting same expimation from his noble friend the President of the Gesineal, sad the noble duke the chairman of the above winemieekes, se to the intentions of the govern ment aptia the mablest. He wished ampsehily to know it wee intended to carry out the recommeadations of the conasehnionesti with respect to bayou& and county rates mod if eo, bow that was to be ree• • wi th the existing anangemente kw distributing the 'dandies pea= Ibis various religious communities, and what they Amid be dime with regard to the cerailleates. Earl GRANVILLE (who spoke very indintieelly, and was scarcely audible in the gallery) was understood to gay that he would only answer the quest i on as to the latentimas of government, and would leave kb soble fried (the Duke of Newcastle), the chairman of the commission, to reply to the noble lord's observations on the report. The depart meat with whisk he was conceited bad carefully 00111 i. detect the reemsamedations of the report. He concurred in many of the observations of the noble lord, but be did aol Wait that the reciamassadetion as to borough sail county seem had been emmideral, and there was so in testine sit wisest to ia any bill to carry out the re oommea of the etuanthelonen in that respect. With to the better administrattoe of the system he had flfttme difficulty how to act, but what he proposed to do was this, which he thought would be satisfectory both to parliament and the country. He thought they should be enabled in • short tine new to lay on the table of both homes of parliament a minute framed on certain incommendations of the commission, and that minute would be &logy di rected to the si umliketioa of the Mimeo of the coined office as related to schools and the appointment of teachers ; and they hoped to be able to sweet something which would meet a crying evil, sad give mistime* to schools in what were called the poorer dielvicts in the country. The minute was sot intended for immediate action, but would be first Lid before both houses of par liament. ----- Lord BROUGHAII quite concurred with what had been maid as to the inestimable value of the report ; and he agreed with the noble earl that it was better to do nothing till after the long vacation. He was in favour of both a county rani and a borough rate for schools. The Duke of NEWC.l.ll7,Egrntelially acknowledgeed the (*odour cad Wrung with which the report of the commie amen had bean received. The omissions complained of for the most part ltd not come within the scope of their inquiry ; sad be believed the 001111111101' iol2era bad dam= la not at pelmet isitedocag with the misregalated miaow waoma begidatioa, Utterly dreaded, was beginning to be differently monied. Oa the question of religious heyeetioa the esimimiiewers differed is opinion, the majo rity of four to three being Ia favour of limiting the scope of the Privy Oesumil inspection. No in by jury would he doss to the hoiden al certificates the proposed alteration ; sad, with regard to rating, the cora reibMiCHUMl were actuated by a desire to escape the injurious emmesquencas to education of " cold fits of eacooluy " in the House of Commune. The number of 1,000,000 children in schools unasaisted by state funds, contrasted with the 917,000 assisted schools, showed that the meet system wee not perfect, and required alteration. Parochial rating, if introduced, might involve the religious difficulty; the ennunissiouers, therefore, preferred to throw the requisite on the county rates. The small Increase of taxation = fled unjust iippridiensious, as more than compensating benefits would result from it. The noble duke quoted largely from the report, and said the commissioners, though they bad not indulged in eloquent phrases about religon, by no means forgot that the convictions of the people of Eng land were in favour of religious teaching. After a short conversation the subject then dropped. THE DUKE OF MODENA. The Marquis of NORMA NBY announced that be would postpone his defence of the deposed duke until Fraley, the lth instant.

He mentioved Manchester, but made no &Murton to the Free-trade Hall, • splendid building in the Italian style. He spoke of Leeds, but he has forgotten that building which is the greatest ornament of the lowa el Leeds, and which also in the Italian style. (Hear bear.) Here are three Mutate of great magnitude. etwant ow larg sums of money, erected lately by the peop led dies, and surely these are indiciadw o/ what the taste sad opinion of the people are. (Hear, hear.) But the noble lord went further, and wanted to saddle upon Edinburgh, the modern Athens— upon Edinburgh. which be determined to adorn, the Cal ton Hill, with an imitation of the Parthenon—not satisfied with the Italia, but going back to the Greek—the noble lord wanted to throw upon Edinburgh the imputation of having hem emmerted to the Gothic style. (Laughter.) I call upon every Scotch member to lay whether that is not • groin libel upon the test, of the community. (Loud laugh 'ter.) Then objections have been made upon the ground that these plans have so originally, and it is said in the first place t h at it is not • talked etyle—that the Italian style, I will not call it the Palledisa, bat the Roman classical, is not nationth litelf is the Gothic national! (Hear, hear.) I never heard math of the Goths and Van. dediand Saracens doing mush in this ematry. (Laughter.) I have been told in my earl y days that the Rmam were in this country for • considerable number of years, and it is probable therefore that they have • better claim to have established in this island some dyke of architecture which may be considered English, than those who never came bum at aLL (Imighteic.) Bat say amble friend bilked about-whoa was the real ancieth architecture of Why, my hon. triad who followed him thought that Stonehenge might be coesidered as • specimen of the ancient architecture of the country. (Laughter.) But I would go further, and say that the real aboriginal ambi tteeters of this countr7 was mud huts and wicker wigwams —these were the original styles of those who flint inhabited this island. ILond blighter.) And when we talk of Gothic Ihaving been practised at certain periods, so has Italian. When we are asked what is the national character, we might, I thith, very reasonably ask the question upon which it meat very much depend, namely, who have been the most distinguished architects of the country and what style did they practiee. We have bad Vanbrugh, of Thom truly it has been said he laid heavy loads on earth, bat who has given usfine buildings in the Roman and Grecian style. We have had also Sir Christopher Wren and bilge Jesse—great men, who have erected great edifices to excite adiabatic% to the present day. (Hear, hear.) Do not tell 'me, then, that Gothic is the characteristic architecture of the country. (Hear, hear.) If there was one character more prevalent than another it was the castellated man sions ; but they were erected for purposes of defence. We find them all over the country but the reason they were erected has ceased to exist, and we ma , therefore, I think, diming that style with all its Moon (Hear, hear.) My him. friend says them is nothing so light as Gothic, on account of the number of windows you can introduce. But we have heard of the Great windows that exclude the light ; And purges that lead to nothing. Asses and laughter.) And these were after the Gothic. style. Then my no friend has very kindly invited me to take a morning drive—which I am unable to aosept— through the streets of Loudon, to test the public taste, forting all those fine boildinp, Somersethouse, fft. Paul's Qtthe dral— An Hos. Mmara—The Post-office. LortiPALMERST' ON—Yee, she Post-office, and several others. Why, it is very much as if a gentleman should drive throughlhe streets of Rome, and seeing • somber of children with arms diakiened and lege out of joint ex hinted as beggars for the profit of their parents, should say, "These ese the tasted sad habits of the Roman people," forgetting all the while the many stout, well-conditioned, able•Mdied men he may have met,—(laughter)—and should my, " Let us make our children like the people of Rome, for these are the tastes of the Roman people." (Renewed laughter.) My noble friend reverses the boast of the Roman emperor, " I found it of brick and left it of stone," and would make these buildings of brick. Well, we all know what colour brisk turas after • aerials exposure to London smoke. lam afraid to quote as Italian authority against it because Ido not admit Italian taste ; but I will quote what was mid to me by Can ova, a man versed in arts, and supposed to be • good judge in these mitten. He said, "If London were only widened it would be • real Pamilles." (Hear, hear.) But instead of making it a real Paradise my noble friend would make it • real something else, by the gloominess be would met over' all the streets. (Chun mid laughter.) No doubt it was well knows that error gas ininite and truth simple. Geoff taste was simple and had teetie infinite, and therefore it n ClPithat Gothic admits of infinite variety. (Laughter.) nothing will satisfy my hon. friend but the invention of some new order of arebltecture. Mr. Marsh, a great architect, tried the experiment, but did not woe ' reed. We all remember the story of the gear Neiman walking along Regent-street while it was building, and struck with something very irregular in one of the h ouses being constructed, said to the clerk of the works, " Why, good heavens ! what order do you cull it r to which be got the reply, "It is Kr. Marsh's positive order." (Much laughter.) I should like to see the positive order of my noble friend. (Renewed laughter.) But if my noble friend wants to invent a new order of architecture, if it is thought worth while, let us offer a premium for it ; but for heaven's sake, seeing that we want a Foreign-office, that our Foteigo-office is tumbling down, and that the Oolorrial-office Is following its example—(a laugh)—and seeing that we want an I and a state Puper.office, the present being nearly fall, there not being space left for more than two years' tapers—mein all these thing', I do my do not delay providing these buildings till somebody invited to compete for the purpose shall have invented a new order, and that new order shall have been approved by the Hove of Commons. (Hear, hear.) With regard to them plans, it is quite true that I did object to the first plan of Mr. Scott as being Gothic. Gothic architecture is very fit for churches and for buildier of certain kinds, but I bold that it is unfit for Meet architecture in a town, and espesialty In • ease like this, where the buildings are of • differed character, and we want to combine external ap mvanoe with internal arrangement. (Hear, hear.) Then Mr. Scott brought me • plan which appeared to be Gothic la disgune, with windows round the roof ; and afterwards be brought sur ano th er, which appeared to be a mixture of Sermonic and Byenatine. I said to him then, " Really, Mr. Scott, you are quite capable of excelling in any style ; do, far heaven's sake, go and bring me something in the Italian style." (Laughter.) Ile did, and it ha. been admired by the ban judges. Ido not rived( pretend to be • judge of the Monti& merits of architecture, but it seems to me • miry beautiful plan, and one which combines great beauty and moment with moderation in expense. (Hear, bear 4 If we were to adopt the suggestion of Inv bon. friend, who spoke of using different granite., different marbles, sod various kinds of encaustic work, the expense would be veay heavy. And it should be recollected that the front to Parliament-street will be open, and the building will be open towards the park ; but the Downing-street aide will be very little open, and the other side will not be open at all, and therefore it would be a mere muds of money to have highly ornamental building.. (Hear, hear.) Well, having done that, I determined that that should be the style submitted for the approbation of the house. The building is to comprise an India-office ; and my right her. friend the Secretary of State for India, who is to build that portion out of the Indian funds, approves of the plan lest prepared by Mr. Scott. If we were to make our part Gothic and he was to mike his in the Italian style I do not think we should add much to the beauty of the whole. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) Without detailing the house longer I will only just answer the appeal made to me per sonally by my hon. friend (Mr. Loyard). Hs had the kind ness to give me credit for some amount of common sense, thinking that I showed the possession of that quality in going down to Harrow to lay the find stone of a Gothic build. mg. (Laughter) I admit that I did show commix] sense in that. lam nut food of Gothic, but • plan having been approved of for • Gothic library in harmony with • Gothic chapel close to which it was to be placed—(hear, hear) — I waived my objection to the style, and laid the first atone. I will now ask the noble lord awl my hon. hind to show some good sense now—(cheers, and hinghter)—to waive their preference for the Gothic, and agree to lay the first stone of this building, and I am quite sure that when they see the building nee they will have the same feeling that I shall have when I see the Gothic building rim—of great pleasure in barker contributed to such • work. (Loud cheers.)

THE WINE DUTIES. TO TIP IDITOR OP THIB lIPRZOIL Bra,—You inserted a few days since a letter signed "H. R. Williams," in which the writer congratulated the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the considerably in creased consumption of French wine since the reduction of the duty in January. The figures wore correct and the facts indubitable, but he did not tell all the truth. The only document which I have at hand, and which specifies the quantity d sash wine cleared and the different rates of dutT, is the Board of Trade returns for the three months aiding the Slat of Mara. This explains why the French wine powers object to the aleobolie teat. Of the 6118,965 Cilcleared only 330,937 were of low strength enoug h to acTletad at the Is. duty, the rest paying L. 9d., 2a. 53., and b. lid. respectively. Referring to the lame returns quoted above it ',peers. that of the 3,422,000 gallons of wine consumed during the first quarter of the year. only 330,937 gallons waa French, at the Is. duty. Mr. Cobden, therefore, if any vale. bto be attached to the coneemione made by France is favour of English manufactures, bee thrown a very small sprat and caught a very large herring ; the sacrifice of revenue for the sake of admitting French wine at the le. duty being only for three months 23,0004—1 am, de., F.

Tan BUILDEIne STRIKE„—On inquiry at the dif ferent trade committee rooms last evening it appeared there had been no addition reported to the liens Intro ducing the hour system. At Mr. Axford's works, how ever, on Friday last notice was given to the men that they would be placed under the hour system on Monday (yesterday). Immediately on receiving this notice a general meeting of all the men on the weeks was held, when it was unanimously resolved, that should Mr. Axford persist in his determination the men would all leave his employ, having obtained the sanction of the delegate meeting to that course. This resolution was oonveyed to Mr. Axford, end ft is understood the notice was withdrawn. Thee has been no alteration with respect to the position of the bricklayers, the men still keeping aloof from the works. The masons' committer yesterday re ceived applications from Manchester and Preston to seed down 100 masons to those towns, where some extensive works are about to commence. A number of the men on strike accordingly left town yesterday, and the remainder will follow to-day. Including these men, and those who bad previously quitted London, nearly one-half of the masons who turned out three weeks since have left the metropolis. About 50 of the MO non-society maims working under the hour system have given in their adhesion to the new sce ciety of non-society anon formed on Saturday last. The conference, composed of three delegates from each trade, IN expected to assemble this evening. BLONDIN AT ASTON PARK.—M.

He will also make an extra ascent on Saturday. COTTON CULTIVATION IN INDIA.—We read in the Bombay Telegraph and Courier :—" Government are at length fully resolved to develop the cotton-growing a•pabilities of this country. Each local government is to take measures to have the lines of traffic between their cotton-producingdistricts and the port of shipment, whether on sea or river, examined end reported on by a competent officer. In the North-west and Central India provinces cotton is, for the most part, a rain crop, those lands only which are within reach of canal cultivation being sown as early as April, and the export of the progress goes on during the cold weather. District officers have, therefore, been ordered to report upon the state of the roads through the cottoreproduang districts, and to adopt measures for their being kept in good n osi er and repair. The following would appear to be the principal cotton-producing locali ties in the provinces we Lem mentioned:—Mirxa poks. Gheseepore, Renares, Gercekpors, Allababad, Banda Caseation, Agra, Retire, Etawah, Furrockabud, Myupoorie, Bweilly, Moorailabad, Shaltjebanpore, ' Bodmoo, ' Meerut, Allygbur, Homeerpore Jaloun, Jubbul pme, Sanger, sod Hoshungnbad. The Road and Ferry Fund Committee, have been required to take the necessary mewures, at the fitting time, for repairing nod improving all those lines of interior communication which connect the districts of their division with the great rivers ' the Grand Trunk road, or the Great Deccan road, so as to facilitate the export of next season's cotton in the largest possible degree. The local officers have been desired to communicate freely with merchants, whether European or native, who may be engaged in the cotton trade, and to bring to the notice of the government any useful projects they may suggest, which may promise to subserve the object in view. On this side of India Sir George Russell Clerk is entering into the business with all that zeal and activity which characterise his govern ment. Captain Anderson, the assistant political agent of the Southeru Reheat& eoustry„ has been ordered to report upon the cotton-growing cap.&litior of all the districts sub ject to his control. hlr. Sillar, au eminent merchant of this city, has been sent to co-operate with him in this laudable enterprise ; and we have no doubt that between them the latest resources of the month will soon find their way to the sea-coast. As a London contemporary says, ' The busbruelmen of the l'unjanb, the ryota of Demgal, the peasants of Southern India. and all the dwellers on the Indus, the Irrawaddy, and the Gange s, have been stirred by the tidings of approaching tra4e. A new world has been opened to Eastern commerce, and a new stilllttlustFiVen to Eastern industry. The impulse has been quite electric in its rapidity and force. Not a minute has been lost in makiog • dash for the prim which the Americans have allowed to slip through their fingers.
