He Wattle the amendments made by the Lord wen, ruefully speaking, improvements ; but some of theta Wert a eloristi in trim the principle on which the bill bad beat triginelly brought forward. He specified the particular amendments with whi:h he coincided and from which he &rotated. Lord J.

Mr. ROEBUCK also 'lntend his protest against it. He charged the noble lard at the bead of the colonial depart ment with great want of discratioo, and downright obstinacy in reusing to hive any plan but his own. Mr. ANS TRY lik•nrise amused the government of breach of faith la the matt rf, by &hien up without a struggle the 'sly voluble pin of the measure. Mr. MACGREGOR accepted the bill, because, while it tub away at privileges whatever frees the South Australian It confined upon them some very important and weal privileges.

Lord SEYMOUR denied the accuracy of the statement of the hot. gentleman.

EVANS drew alteration to the groat hardship the au•complstisa of Vittoria street entailed urea the poor inhabitants of that Neighbourhood whose houses would be required for that improvement, and asked the government to suet their influence to carry out tie communication wit°owt delay. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sgrued that it was desirable the new street should be proceeded with as rapidly is poseible, and, without going into the question of the liability of the government to incur farther expense In the matter, he might state that they had It is scomaderation whether the works might sot be 'audited; but that would depend upon arrangement. which did not rest with him.

The next vote wee-- boor. 3,6401., • portion of the expenses of the Ectinsatical Conteniesioaers for England. Sir D. HALL said that, whatever support he might have, he should certainly take the sense of toe house on this vote. (Hear, hear.) It was useless for elm togo into the question of the composition of the oommi•sion. which had bees re peatedly discussed ; bat he contended that the com missioners did nut deserve any grant whatever ,from that house. (Hear, hear.) Sir 0. GREY said the returns were yet imperfect, but he proposed to lay before parliament thcee wb ch hid beea received from different quarters, with a statement of the reason why they had not come from other quarters. S mewl of the bishops stated that the y had not the means of compel ling returns from the different members of the chapters; and he feared it would be necessary to men an order for the returns cm those individual members. As far as these rehires bad come in, they should be presented be ore the session closed ; bat he benign to say it was act ths commission that bad to make then. Mr. HUME contended that the • xpellefe of the commis sion ought to be paid out of the church property. By voting them out of the public funds tl.ey were paying so much more towards the maintenance of the church. (Hear, hear ) Lord J. RUSSELL said the hun. gentleman wee mistaken on that point. The church had not objected to continue to ?none its property as it had tormerly done, but the state had napped to, and wished a different distribution of church property to be made—that the incomes of the deans and chapters of cathedrals and of various prebends should be differently distributed for the good of the public at large. When the prime minister of the time proposed the change, the chief prelates of the church very naturally said— "lf the church property is to be distributed more generally for the benefit of the public, bat Vis expense of making that thongs be at the charge of the state ; otherwise you will take from the church that which it now pos•inges. and will apply to the purpose of th's change funds which are devoted to the support of those who are cormecteet with the religious instruction of the country." Teat was • very fair argument; and had the house been satisfied that the chinch property should be die tributs d as it bad formerly been, they would have heard nothing of that vote. Sir B. HALL dissented from the doctrine of the noble lord, the it they, the members of the church, desired better distribution of the church's r venues, psrliament was to pay fur it. He contended that the properly of the church belonged to them as members of the community ; and it was urjust that the public should be taxed fur obtaining a better distribution of that property, and for correcting the great abuses wiich had existed under the dignitaries of the church. (Hear, hear.) He protested MbiLlt this vote, whether it was to be an annual one or only occasional; and he would certainly divide the house against it. (Hear, hear.) The committee then divided. For the vote BARON DE ROTHSCHILD. Mr. ANS MY begged to ask Ma noble lord at the head of the government why he had not laid upon the table of the house that morning the resolutirnt in ben of %Ills, negatived on Tuesday, relative to the admiseior. of Bayou Rrtswehild • to whereon ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that he bad that morning stated, in reply to a question put by the ',hoe. baronet ; the memb'r for Maryleba. (Sir B. Hall). that the neolations would be laid open the table at five o'clock, or daring the sitting of the house that evening, in order that they might be den livered to members to•monow musing. They were not asl yet exactly prepared, their wording having required cot-' siderahle care, but they would be laid upon the table that evening, and delivered to members tomorrow morning. (Haar.) He trusted they would be found sufficiently clear and explicit to obviate the necessity of hie making a public statement relative to their purport. (Hear, bear ) Mr. ANSTBY gave notice that he would take the lease of the bombe to-morrow on the gut stion of Baron Rothachila's eligibility to take his seat in perliameat. This notice of motion, he *bound, was for 12 o'clock en-morrow. Mr. Goalbern, Mr. Aostal. Lord J. Hassell, Mr. Home, Mr. Abel Smith, sad Sir B Hall severally requested the hon. member for Youghel to withdraw Lis smile* of motion, sad not to disturb the existing erring, meat as to the resump tion of the debate oa MoneLy. Mr. ANSTET sal the difecul , y was this, that the noble lord at the bead of the government persis.ed in refusing to give We purport of his re•olstious. (" Oh.") Perhaps the resolatiors would be so wordrd that they would tot originate any discussion ; and if so, could not the noble lord Low state their substance ? . -- -.- Against it The text rots was 7,9461., the chirp of thu tidies of the cummisaione re of r4lways. Colonel SlBThOltr was understood to denounce the vote as sonecessaiy. In answer to Mr. Hoses, Mr. LABOUCHERE said the select committee had m ccmmerd d that the railway commiaiiionen should be merited in the Board of Trade ; hut to carry that out would require an act of par:lament. All be could promise was that during t►e recess the subject should be !nil, considered. Vote agreed to. Oo the next vote-37,6061. for the board of public works In Ireland, Mr. H. HERBERT said ho wished to call at' ention to the system of 'elus•ion of land in Ireland. The declared 'Eject of the vatnetion act had been to °Amin uniformity ; and this object was n•iw much more dee:Table, as the new franchise wee founded on a particular valuation. No time ought to be lost in ensuring that that valuation should be uniform. _ . _ Mr. REYNOLDS said that no public department in Ire land required •cl *sr inepeetion or a more thorough over hauling than the Board of Weeks. It bad squandered more money, either by ignorance or extravagance, than any other department. There was an item of 2,4001. to cover the ex. pens of the solicitor for Celli.. &c., besides 6001 a year for • secretary. Two years ego Mr Walker filled this office most efficiently ; he was superseded to make way foe the eon. in-law or nephew of Colonel Joese, the chief commissioner, and Walker was now riding • blood hone through the streets of Dublin, on a retired pension of 3701. a year. The reason stated for his being pensioned was adjustment in the aka," which he understood to mean the arrangement to provide foe Hornsby, the relative of Col. Jones. Walker was discharged without a pension; but he kicked up • row in the sewanapen, threatened to let oat the secrets of the office, bat had been suddenly Atomised, and hag retired to Bandy mount to enjoy his retinae cams dtpeilate. (Laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EICIIkQUER said that he regretted he did not know the hon. gentleman was going to rotor to the eircusustesesei the appointment of Mr. Hornsby. That took place some two years ago, and be was not then able to recall the facts of the ease to his mind. Mr. GROGAN did not think that the salary of 1,3001. whkk was given to Mr. (Hindi was excessive, considering the multsfarisiss duties while were imposed upon him. (Hear.) He hoped that the new valuation of Ireland would be completed as soon es possible. (Hear.) Mr. U A. HAMILTON bore testimony to the enormous memo! business which was thrown on the Board of Works. (Hear, bear.) After some discussion the vote was agreed to. On the vote of 36.6001. for secret service money, Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the vote as the worst of all jobs. The mode in which the money which came out of the pockets of the people was spent should be known to the people. He should, therefore, move that the vote be re duced to 16,0005. Mr. HUME said there might have been • time when secret service money wee required but since the war he did not see what necessity there was for it. (Hear.) When he first objected to this vote he mitLiled himself that a large proportion of the money was given in pensions to , Individuals who came from other places and in a variety of ways which it was not possible to prevent. But he should have expected that the ineumbranews would fall ;oft He should have no objective to do sway with the vote attn ./other, but as he believed there were incumErences up n it, he would suggest to the hem. member to get at its ex. tinction gradually, and to move that the vote be reduced by 10,0001. this year. Col. SIBTHORP having assented, the motion was altered in that view. Mr. B. CRAWFORD said that no grant ought to be viewed with more jealousy by the representatives of the people than this errant Id mare& aerVioo money. (lisar,bear.) Lord J. MANNERS called on some member of the jgovernment to give leformation to the committee on the sub ect of the vote. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the vote was ore which could not be explained. (Laughter.) Secret service money implied that it could not be made public. (Laughter.) They only asked for it mit former years, in order that it might be applied to the public smoke. Mr. SPOONER wished for some explanation as to the reduction is the amount of the vote. Lord J. RUSSELL said that if the hon. gentlemen was i not added that there should be • reduction, he would be ready to take the seine sum that was voted on former mea -1 done. (Laughter.) Mr. DUNCAN said that as no explanation could be giTtg. the poly alternative was that the House of Commons s h ou ld not gnnt the money. (Hear, hear.) I The committee then divide d: Foe the wsndsent 44 Against it The vote was thenreed to. Oa the varlet 210,8 71. to defraay the expenses of printing, bindle', and stationery for the pubis departments, Mr. REYNOLDS wiesplained that *knit &talked re mised tidy 8,7401., and Ireland 19,0401., Ilitgland reotived 220,0001. under these Items. Ile believed it Ireland "other fair proportion that 80,0002 Inured of 19,0001. wow,' 8. the met to whists she night consider herself entitled. Kr. C. LEWIS explained that the reason why the twat I the itonallrfUritrettl:Pralted SO h Seethed w e as avy bi aa compared wi eoaegaetae otl; perliamentary printing, whisk, of sower woe performed in Ludo,. AS regarded the order of thiLords of the Trea sury referred to by the hoe. gentleman, he (Mr. Lewis) was apt aware of its fixieterme. Mr. REYNOLDS 'aid the government printing performed in Dublin was almost exclusively unfitted to the villas' of the Dublin Gazette. He eould assure the helms that the priatiacexecuted for the. Island Raussio Clams is Inland did sot exceed in one year s & The only pablis board or department in Ireland that gave the Irak printer fair play was the Pat-oeice ; but Its .hoped that W. M Conga, at **head of the printing deportment in London, would no longer be permitted to defraud the Irish printer of his fair abuts of labour and remuneration. Mr. HUME said he had bees chairman of a committee which inveetigated this matter, and ha Mend that the print Lag for Scotland, which used to out 13,0001., could be done in Lindoo for 4,0001. ; and se the 42.111•11'S printer for Scot land was got rid ft (Laughter.) As long as the different boards and establishment*, the excise and customs, remained intact in each country, different forms were required ; but when ooneolidation took plea no each amuse, existed. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Hume) had to complain that the items for the National Gallery catalogue, 1001., end tie London Gazette cboot the She riff's Court of Scotland printing, with the register of surgeoce, and Dublin and Edinburgh Gazettes —the former amounting to I,4sol.—were also charged under the vote now before the house. Now be ailed not help thinking that if thus garottes OM published on the some principle as news. papers, and the price et dead se as to enable the public in general to purchase them, they would not alone pay for themselves, but return a consid.rahl. profit. (Hear, fru.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that owing to the principle of consolidation, wider Mr. M'Cul- Mph, a great saving had been effected. If hen. gentlemen looked at the estimate nf the present year, they would tee th. re wu a falling off aa compared with former years of some 40,0001 (Hear, hear) But if they were new to set to work and undo what they bed already done, the result would be anything but economical. (Hear, heir) After a few words from Mr. Hymn in explanation, Mr. C. LEWIS said the returns pointed out the various items under their respective heads. Mr. NEWDEGATH conceived that house, as a legisla tive body, was bound to publish he enactment'. (Rear.) What he wanted to see was lets printing, but that what was printed should be more readily available and sooner laid on the table. Mr. LAIIOUCIIERE said that the delay in layingstatio tioal details on the table bad principally arisen from the tint* required in getting returns from our distant colonies. However, be had made arrangements with the secretaries for the colonic a and for foreign affairs, which would to a con siderahle extent prevent such delays in future. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that one defect in cur system WAN that we had not made oar consular establishments available in procuring returns respecting our trade. That was the system adopted by the United State', and it had produced admirable veldts. Mr. V. SMITH concurred in the opioioa that all printing arrangements should be put WOO/ one vote. The vdte had been reduced, but it wee still capable of further reduetion. He looked upon the suggestion. of the hon. member for War wiek.hire as moat valuable, but it required great caution iin the part of the Treasury in deciding how papers properly called instructive papers should be printed. In his opinion that establish , ' ant should pay its own expenses. Mr. C. LEWIS said that no printing tar the government offices could be iieeuted without authority from the Seers tare of State, sad nob authority was given without due inquiry. With regard to the printing for the Railway Board. it was merely an estimate, and might not all be expended. He would inquire respecting the printing for the National Gallery. Ater some conversation the vote was agreed to. 10,0001. being proposed towards the expense of erecting on the Earthen Mound, in the City,of Edeuburah, buildings for a *about! gallery, sad other purpose, oonnecesd there with, and with the promotion of fine arts in Scotland, Mr. SMUT wished soma further information to be laid beton the house on this *object. fir W. 0. CILAIO wm uncLntood to say that papers had been laid on the table. _ _ Mr. IJRIOIIT had not received the papers. Edinburgh was a place where people were very competent to do these thiests themselves. He stood up to protest ageism* this vote on the ground t.f principle. He thought it highly wrong to make them votes to Edinburgh or Dublin. -- Mr. HU ME observed that wine of his friends around him were very aeaioes that the house should co,sider this to be his job. (A laugh,) He considered it • reproach to the country that &Aland lad not some establishment to pro mote the Bee arts. The City of Edinburgh had come forward with 14,00 W. It was • grievous thing that on • rainy day the working clung were obligen ti have ✓i ems' to publie-houses, as the only mcssum ttey had an opportunity of vieiting. (A laugh.) Mr. DISRASLI asked who was responsible for the man ner in which this vote was proposed. It was signed W. 0. Heyter. The language was such as was expected to be found in an advertisement of (}.urge Robing. He was eurprised that the Secretary of the Treuury stou:d describe a vote in that way. Mr. V. SMITH said that the manner in which this vote I was proposed was most ohjectioneble. H* quite agreed I with the hon. member for Manumit when he said that the 1 of Scotland were witting to give a certsin rum at M ue), it we gave some. It a; peered to him tat we had I given d:uble 'heir SUM lie thought it • fair thing that • gallery should he erected at Ediuburgb, but he should look fora in, further estimate. The original estimate was not the whole of it, sad he objected to the erection of any building o, the mound. too little, seeing that 0,111001. sates bad been granted to the late duke Mir the snalatenessee of hie win. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK explained. Whoa he addressed his km &Stunts on the occasion referred to, what he said was, that it we absolutely Recovery that the members of the royal family should be maintained out of the lands of the stets, bat that he considered the vote for them extravagant untfer the eircumetancee. Ae .0 the present duke, that he should ape the dignity of the sovereign, could not but be exceed. tag', mieolikeoue ; it wee far better that he should exhibit the modesty of a private gentleman. Mr. DISRAELI could not pass unnoticed an observation that hon. goals/nen= that side of thepouse were influenced rather br a love of royalty than by a regard to economy. Hs deeply regretted that 'prima of the blood should be placed I. the present position of his loyal highness ; but the house mast remember that it was en set of parliament itself which had caused him to occupy that position. (Hear, hear.) He bad hoped that the question would never he dispensed again, except in cues neaten with the Royal Marriage AM. After a few word. from Mr. Roinuolf, Mr. BRIGHT observed that not only on that aide In the House of Commons, but out of doors generally, the opinion was that the sons proposed was an extravegant one. With regard to the Marriage Act, he was no party to it, and he regarded it as one of the moat absurd and wicked sets that had ever passed ; therefore that was no reason why he should vote a larger sum as an allowance to the Duke el Cambridge than he thought necessary. He doubted also whether, if an opportunity for an advantageous 'amigo eared, the consent of the crown would not be given. After • few word. in explanation from Mr. Dleamthi, Mr. ANSTEY, though not opposed to a handsome pro- vision for the Duke of Cambridge, would move that the chairmaa do report proves.. It was upon • totally &Livia ground he objected to their proceeding with this b 11. He bad waited patiently till Friday morning for;the performance of the noble lord's promisee, and a report had recently reached him that it was the intention of the Polite lord to sterilise the privileges of that house and the privileges of the electors of Locdon to the will of the House of Lords, and that • question they had so much at heart should be thrown over to soother session. (" Hest," and cries of " Question.") This was a question of grievance—and the old constitutional rule was redress of grievance before supply—to put the question as one of pri vilege, and se such he demanded that it should be dealt with before they voted more money. The report had reached the City that it was intended by the government to keep the matter snug until they had got all the supplies and all the public money they r. (paired ; and then, as the house would have no more controt over them, they would throw over this question, in which the whole electoral body was so deeply interested, to ano.her year. (Hear, hear.) He shculd object to • farthing more of the public money being granted to the Duke of Cambridge or any other parson until this question of privilege was settled. (Hear.) Lord D STUART seconded the motion. Mr. NEWDEO ATE deprecated the interruptions of pub lic business which the course taken by the hen. end learned member for Youghal had occasioned, which was calculated to delay rather than expedite the production of the resolu tions. Mr. COBDEN recommended the withdrawal of the mo- tion, suggesting that it was sufficient that the Attorui y- General had promised them to produce the resolution., to satisfy the house that he would do so. Mr. WOOD wished the noble lord to state what the resolutions were. (Divide.) Lora J. ItUSSELL observed that the Attorney-General would be quite ready to • :plain the usture of the resolution as soon as the house resumed. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. SI UAIL 1' contended that his hon. and learned (viand had a right to dentstol redress for this grievants before voting any further supplies. (Hear.) Mr. OOULBURN was as anxious as any hon. member to know what the et solutions were, but he had that regard for the regularity of their proceedings that he bad no desire to interfere to the interruption of the business bwore the bouts. At present the explanation required could not be give n without a violation of the rules of the house. Mr. HUME hoped the hon. and learned member would not pries his motion. As they had the aseusance of the noble lord that the resolutions would be produced as soon as the present question was disposed of, he thought thi y had better proceed to decide that question. There were other votes of supply yet to cont', when the hon. and learned member, It not satiotied would have the opportunity of bringing forward the subject. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ANSTEY sail objected to any money being voted while an important question of privilege was pendirg Mr. AULIONBY hoped the bon. member for YE:lshii would not divide, teeing that the noble lord would state the views of her Majesty's government touching the admission of Baron Rothschild at the earliest possible moment. Besidse, the annuity to the Duke of Cambridge was not the last vote of supply, therefore other opportunities would arise for opposing the government. Mr. B. OSBORNE glee:pressed a hope that the host. member for Youghal would withdraw his motion. Mr. ANSTEY then withdrew his motion. The committee divided on Mr. Hume's amendmect that the annuity to the Duke of Cambridge be 10,00111._ Mr.LltilliT said that on looking over this item he foutd somethit.g which msde him think that the while of this detail was done for the purposs of snaking th.gs plea s►nt iu the house. He kad had an opportunity of speaking under tie gallery one evening with • gentleman high i. authority inEdinburizli on this auhjict, and although he . . , d 7 , , w understoo that the City of Elinburgh aa to give thit site fvr this buinding ft r some 1,0001., there seemed to have been put down a sum of 4000/. That was one point wh.ch made him doubt the accuracy of tLe whole of this statement.. Sir W. U. CRAIG °barrel that this measure bad been in contemplatikm for the last three or four rim. Mr. LationT arid that in the use of lirrioCs Hospital an act of parliament had been obtained by which a consider able portion of the funds hod bau n applied from the will of the founder. There were three schools in various parts of this city. Toe money got in this why was laid out in the adornment of magnificent buildings, because there was no other object upon whicn you could bestow it. The vote was agre.d to, and the hcuse resumed.

Mr. STANFORD could not think that 12,C001 a year was too much, when the late duke died poor. Lad J. RUSSELL said he should press the vote, having been carried he a Turtle nistsrity. Mr. ROEBUCK protested against the imputatioa that those who voted tor the reduction of the vote were actuated by hostility is the royal family. Attar a few words from L' rd C.

The house went into commttee un this bill, and on their eoung to the consideration of the clause which proposed Out the nisch should be filled up with 12,000 L, as the &n -udity to be paid to his royal higbueu, Mr. HUME said that be lard given notice that he would move that the blank ahould be tilled up with the sum of 8,0001, the amount which was given to the Duke el Oloucoster when he was placed in a similar po,itioe. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to suggest one causide ration to his boa. tru.d, the member for 11 oi.rose, and asked him to consider why this royal duke should have such a both sum He quite acknowledgsd that es long as they had a royal family there should be an adequate provision for • certain portion of them ; but it was a matter of very greet import ance to know when individuals connected with thio, family should cease to have a claim. Now, 10,000/ was a very large sum of money ; sad they ought to recollect that th. late Duke of Cambridge, while he lived, had from the country altoge ther a sum amounting to Intwes n 40,0001 and 60,0001 a year. Mr. HUME—lndependent of his regiment. Mr. ROEBUCK—Yes, independent of that. The late dabs died, and 3,0001. • year was left to each of his daughters, and 6,0001. • you went to Ms widow, and both these sums, together with the 12 0001. which was now pro. posed for the Duke of Cambridge, would make the sum of 24,0001. as a provision for his royal highneu's family. Now let them recolleot that her Majesty the Queen had been so fruitful as to produce to the country several children, every one of whom would have the same claim, and they would have • multipl:cation of applications for grants of this description. Now he wanted to know where were Sees appli cations toted. What he proposed was, that these princes should be supportedWn that sort of decent splend..ur which was compstible with their situation. What befell was that they ought nett to begin by cutting down these incomes to the lowest deifies possible, and he would propose that the sum of 6,0001. be put to fill up th blank. Mr. W. BROWN soil that he could not agree that so large • sum se 12.0011. was seeessary to support the dignity of the Deka of Cambridge. lie would give his vote against the 10.0001. and in favour of the 5,0001. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to know wl y the sum should be more than he proposed. The ministers of the crown had 6,0001 a year, and the Judges had only 6,000/. a year Every moment of the time of those men was devoted to public budness, and there was net a moment in which they were not occupied for the benefit of the public. Mr. AOLIONBY said that he did not a e any mason why 6,0001. should nut be considered sufficient, but yet he could aot see what good practical result could follow the motion which had been made by the hon. and learned member for Suffield, whin they remembered that those who voted for 8,0001. had been beaten by a large majority, by those who were more for royalty than for economy. (Criss of" No, um") What, did not the bon gentlemen who cried " No," beat them ? (Cries of "Yes.") Well, then, if they voted for 12,0001 instead of 8,0001. they were not in favour of economy. If the hon. member for Sheffield pressed fora division on his modes, he should Vote for the 6,0001. (Hear ) Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was very difficult to raise any araument on the question whether the sum of 6,0001. or 12,0001. was the proper sum. lion. gentlemen Rut judge for themselves what they thought a prices of the royal family required for the honourable maintenance of his dignity, and should consider what was the position and what were the demands of °then, who got four or five times that amount. He confessed that the eum of 12,0001 a year appeared to him more fit foe the purpose than the sum of 6,0001. proposed by the hon. and learned gentleman. Mr. V. SMITH said tkat, after taking into coneiderelon his royal highness's position, and the necessities of the nubile, he hod previously supported the motion of the hon. member kW Montrose, and if. the hon. member had prop seed that amount &gabs, he would again have voted for it. He eleiected to the prop al of the hon. and learned member (Mr. Ito. buck), and he was rather surprised at his making it, considering that la a speech at Suffield, the hon. and learned member had formerly s hld the manliness to support the allowance to the Cambridge famlly. 6,0001. wee evidently Lord J.

A letter seat to Paris paid &l. on delivery there, whereas a letter sent from Paris hero was charged 10d.; and he was anxious for as explanation of this anomaly. The CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER 'aid the rate was 10i either way, and that a negotiation, which had not yet been brought to a conclairinn, was going on for its redaction. In the meantime, however, the French govern ment bad reduced the postage on their side a little, and this accounted for the difference which the hon. member had noticed.

He hod declared his inability to do iso, and the proceedings seemed to have terminated. He (Mr. Oladstone) thought the Secretary for the Colosthe had neglected his duty is the matter, and he promised early neat session to call the attention of the hones to the whole el the eircurastanoes.

The thetuoie was for 14,6721. for the removal of the arable arch, and makisg enclosure in fruit of Buckingham Palace, sad for groundwork's! gardea. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not intend' dto proceed with the garden at pugilist, gad therefore he should only sok for 11,0001 instead of 14,67:a. The great difficulty which he could not see his way through was the muble arch. The *creme of removing it to a great distance would be vary great, but it intiht be removed to a small distance. Sir D. NORREYS said he was much pleseed to hear that the garden wag given up at present. If there were an enclosure of 100 or 150 yards the marble arch might be planed in front of it. lie suggested that Constitution-hill should be shared se that there'd alwald sot be go tau the palate, that there should be a road between Pall-mall sad Ceestitution-hill, sad a unaectiag road with the Birdesge. walk-road. Mr. A. STAFFORD suggested that the vote should be divided. These garde= ware ezwadingly distasteful to the public, and he we. staid that here titer there would be sac. titer opeeitien with regard to them. The pr CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had Weedy pledged himself that nothing further should be done laughter any expose. Mr.HUME sued that the 'garble arch should be taken to Cheelag thees, and be placed at as eatrases te be made there4ate Ike Park.

Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL supported the second reading of the bill as altered. Mr. REYNOLDS said the concessions were nothing at all; the portions given up by the promoters of the toll were almost harmless, whale the obnoxious clause was retained, which rendered the cutting of trope between sunset on Satur diy and sunrise on Monday a imiedemeasour punishable by line and imprisonment. if ever [hire wu an Algeria' enactment, that was one.
