LIVERPOOL LICENSING BILL Oa the older for the mooed man( of this bill, Mr. LAM SON row to move as an 'woodmen, " That the granting of lipase's for the sale of intoxicatiog liqu ors l• a subjegt which ouirld sot at present to be dealt with by an or id azy rivate bilL" He said it might be considered an extra nurse to oppose a bill, but the fact was that this was an extraordinary bill. Notwithstanding the powerful ioduances which had been emceed io its favour the last time it was brought forward it was thrown out by a majo rity of 16, and, he hoped that • similar coarse would be pursued on thipressist occasion. He did not know how it could be called • private bill, seeing that it dealt with the taxation of the country, by interfering with the local rates of an iniportent borough; but he had been isformed that the clauses having that object must be submitted to • counnietes of the whole house. The pro moters .wen the Licensed Victuallers' Association of Liverpool, and they stated in their papers sad speeches that their motive was to decrease, if possible, the amount of drunkeenen and consequent misery that prevailed in Liverpool. They complained that 149 new public-houses bad been flowed at the last ensuing swims, and that dant% the last four years 345 new licenses had been greeted. The consequeasie was, that drunkenness was more rife in Liverpool than in any other town in Est. land, and unhappily prevailed as much amongst the middle as the lower dunes of society. It had been stated that the bill was brought forward in conformity with the re. ' commeudatious of a committee of that house, but be should state the points in which it agreed and those in which it differed from the recommendations of that com mittee. The bill enacted that there should be • uniform charge for all lionises for booms selling intoxicating liquors, putting beer houses and public-houses on the same footleg. It provided also that permits purchasing intoxi cating liquor at an unlicensed house should be liable to punishment ; and further, that the minimum charge for a license should be 30i. per annum. These provincios had all been suggested by the eammittes, and also that in carry ing them out the rights sad privileges of existing pub limns and beer sellers should be nand. The promoters of the bill adopted this recommendation, but provided that the privileges so sacred should sot last more than 14 years. Differing from the committee they did not propose any limitation of the time for selling lipon, they did not recommend the closing of houses at 11 o'clock, and therefore the house would per olive that it was a different scheme io several importest particulan. The promoters recommended a provision which was their own. namely, that no house should be licensed unless it was rated to the poor at the value of 501. a year. He believed that if this regulation were carried into law it • would bb beorticial, but the part of the bill which he cos. indeed most objectionable was that which took away the only protection that the people had as regarded the ineresmel these public-houses. At peewit a discretion was vested in the magistrates as to granting license, I and QM discretion this bill proposed to take away. Ie addition, there was a most extraordinary clause which he could best explain by reading a sentence from Mr. Booth's pamphlet. The hill proposed to exempt from its operation all existing pablie.houses for 14 years, and as the gross amount at present paid for licenses was 30,0001. • year, it followed that if the price were doubled analog public-houses would have an exemption to the amount of 30,0001. a year. Mr. Booth called this • " Con. ciliation Boom," and he (Mr. Lawson) saw no reason why that Mows should vote •coaciliation boom of 30,000/. a , year to the licensed victuallers of Liverpool. The promoters stated that 300 of the publicans of Liverpool carried on their business in so disreputable • manner that they (the promoters) had refused to admit them into their aasociatins ; and yet, hare an a private bill professing to give sad men a large annual bonus at the public expense. He objected is ta4o to a great public question being treated is a private Mr. /10E.SFALL said that with a few trifling amend ments, this bill was identical with its predecessor of 1863. It was • mistake to suppose that it was supported only by the licensed victuallers of Liverpool, as • large section of the magistrates and guerillas' of poor-law unions. including those of West Derby, the largest aeon in Euglaud, were also in its favour. He asked the house not to pan the bill, but to refer it to the committee, where its merits could be properly investigated. Mr. W. L FORSTER would vote spinet the second reading, not because the bill was opposed by licensed victualler gene rally, but because he thought that a great public principle should not be disposed of in • private bill. Sir G. GREY bad asesetaioed that under present circumatar.cm, when it was not likely that the influence of lioenaed victualler would be lees powerful than formerly, seeing that a general election w.,s approaching, it would be impossible to pees .general measure of this nature through parliament, (Hear, boor.) He supported the bill because In believed it would lead to • general unessore. Mr. 11.0k:BUCK. appealed to the bome end to the Treesury bench whether they wen sot doing anything but their duty in "Howie( • private hill to take the position of • public measure, and he appealed also to the Speaker whether this was not really a public bill smuggled in under the owns of a private bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. N EWDEGATE. having supported the object of the Iwo. members for Liverpool last session, regretted that he meld cot support them ea the meant occasion. No one was mere conscious than be was of the evils which oppressed Liverpool. It was in evidence before a committee that in two large towns, Liverpool and Wolverhampton. • system of free trade iu licensing had been tried. He knew that the system had been attended with the same evils in Wolver hampton as in Liverpool, and he could sot support this bill became he saw clearly that in doling so, according to the opinion of the HomeSemeary, he should be striking a blow at the principle of ]cal self-governmeet which had been found effecituel in every place except those two. (Hear, hear.) Let the magistrates of Liverpool adopt a system of subdivisiou of districts ; let them combine and organise as the magistrates in other counties did, and he Inlieved they would find that the remedy was I. their own handy. Lord STANLEY felt very stroogly the objection which had base raised to this bill os the ground of the introducing a law for Liverpool different from that which prevailed 'hookers. (len, hear.) But he the position in which Liverpool was Maiit was only a choke of evils. He should support the or two emboss—ln the first pleas because it was sup- parted by a very large majority of all clams, within the tow. of Liverpool, and is the next plies became be bad seen enough of this question to feel that it was impossible for them to go on in the way they had been going as far the last few yeses.

Ile wished to blow if there wee any r e ceded for the present application. In the action spinet the publisher of "Lord Byroo's Poem " the counsel for the defendant had the whole poem read in court, as necessary to the objectieuable poems.

The wides of the papas wen thee pat in in their entirety. The plaintiff was then celled. In hie 'akimbo, he stated that be was celled in by the °pomade of the Birmingham and Staffordshire Gas Bill, to assist them in having clamors introduosd into the boll to allow gas to be tested when and where the load authorities pleased. He coosidered it ab surd that six hours' noires should be given to the pa companies before testing the quality of the gas.

LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY, The twenty-fourth half-yearly general meeting of this mummy was held, yesterday altoreare, at the Gros venor Hotel, Victoria Station ; Lord flomita in the chair. The Stourraar, Mr. W. F.:. Johnson, having read the advertisement convening the meeting, the report and state meat of sosousta were taken se read. The Cgatimazi, in moving the adoplias of the report, ' congratulated the meeting °Olio jemmying prospects of the aritmany. He thought that the report would be considered satisfactory. Daring the past throe years their re ceipts bad been progressive. Taking the returns of the receipts for the past throe years they would find that thine from passengers alone ware io the half-year ending Doom , her. 1862, 78,724/. ; inithe corresponding period of 1863, 106,7701. ; and in the hilt-year ending list December, 142,763/, showing an Memos over those of the half year ending in 1863 of 36,992/. ; the total in crease of receipts, taking the goods traffic Into consideration, being 43,6971. On the other hand, while there had been this large increase of receipts, the working expenses had re mained about the same, or that them was every mom to believe that the nearer they approached the completion of their vast undertaking the larger would be the proportion el the receipts to the expenditure, which must be considered satisfactory. By the opening of the Ludgate station one very important part of their line had been completed, and be was 'retitled to be able to state that the rest of the work wee rapidly approaching completion, and that before the end of the year a junction would be made with the Ye tropoldan, and also with the Great Northern and Midland systems. The shareholden would be glad to hear that the company bad no bills to promote io parliament during the present session, and any business they bad there would be ociefloed to watching the proinedins of other cowponies, is order to see whether, and if so in what manner, their into would be affected. He begged to move the adoption of the report. Lord ii• 311111 seconded the motion, alluding to the fact that, notwithstanding the groat increase of the receipts, they might, is consequence of not yet being able to carry the goods traffic to Blackfriate station, reasonably expect a very conslderabls addition from that source when the asceesary facilities were afforded. There wee no reason whatever to soprano that the increase of their goods traffic would not before long fully equal their anticipation& The ()hernia-crow Railway having boon completed and in working for six months, they had now had wen experime of what would be the effect of that competition, and he wee happy to soy that it would do very little if any damage to this company. As soon as the junction was a = with the different systems which would shortly be brought late ocionexion with theirs, be had not the slightest doubt that it would vastly improve their position. He concluded by amazing the shareholders of the 'Wismar of the board to give information to them upon any points which might be required.

From information received by polioo-constable George Ranger, 199 G division, Inspector Potter, also of the G division, Inspector Brennan, of the F division, and John Moss, detective-sergeant of the City force, proceeded to the east end of the town and took the following parsons into custody —William Hoary Jeffrey, Martha Jeffrey, Thomas Carly, Ann Carly, Thomas Britton, and Louisa Bruton. The arrest was made between three and four o'clock, but was not completed without very considerable difficulty—one of the prisoners, Thomas Brutoo, known as the '° Velvet Lad," offering • desperate resistance. The discovery of the property leaves no doubt that the persons captured were engaged in the " Walker" and " Abraham" burglaries. SINGULAR ACCIDENT IN THE WESTMINSTER-ROAD. —Menem Alderson and Co., linendrapers of 83, 85, and 87, in the Westminster-react, have for some time past been enlarging their premises, end another house recently purchased of • pastry-cook, adjoining. Heavy scaffolding Lad been erected in front of the four stories of the build ings, and the men were ragged in rousing out the cornice work at the top of th e building. At 12 o 'clock yesterday • strange noise was heard within the shop of themiddle house, whoa one of the superintendents Helps thadanger warned the assistants to make for the other side of the shop. They bad no sooner done so than the front of the wall between the two booms fell, carrying with it the whole of the scaffolding. Fortunately DO one was injured, though considerable damage was caused to the stock in trade of „Mmes. Alderson. howI:MON or CONYENTS.—Last night a meeting convened under the auspices of the Protestant Alliance was held in St. James's-ball, Piccadilly, to urge upon the public the necessity for a governmental inspection of con- vents. The meeting, which was by no means overcrowded, was presidedover by Mr. J. C. Colqub omi t who in open iog the proceedings said they were not met to domes the doctrines or erten of the church of Rome, but simply to petition the legislatures on the subject of a grievance tench demanded redress at its hands. Under the English law monastic in stitutions were illegal. and though he did not ask that con vents should be placed on the same footing, he did insist that the law ought to take care that they were not, as he was afraid they were, used for illegal purposes. To ensure that it was contended that they should be subjected to a periodkal inspection ; and be justified such an interference by referring to the meiotic* of France, Prams, Italy, and Austria. The Rev. Mr. freed moved the first resolution, as follows :—" That there has been • large Lad rapid increase in the number of conventual eetabliehments in Britain, and at the pelmet time there are 201 of these institutions in England and Scotland, for females, containing, it is believed, some thousand inmates, most of whom are under an amount of constraint iooonsistent with personal liberty, while others are unlawfully carried abroad, out of reach of English law. That it is therefore eminently desirable that parliament should i meth,* inquiry uponthissubject, end that • petition be accordingly adopted to both houses of malig ned/I." The Rev. IL Seymour of Bath, wooded the resolu tion, and dealt with the objeclion that the movement had sprung from • spirit of persecution, and reminded the meet ing that within the last 75 years the three greatest Roman cathorsc countries in Romps, via., France, Spain, and Italy, had followed the example of Ragland by abolishing monas teries. These institutions, be insisted, were alike epposed to the law of nature and the law of God, and he meld not resist the conviction that they were too frequently sop. potted because they afforded facilities for the accrompthh meet of improper, not immoral ends. The resolution was carried by exclamation, after which ,beaks wire voted to the press for the assistance it bad give. to the mm e by its exposure?! the relied' cases, and to the chairman for his courtesy in the chair.

The final jagart was then postponed to a future day. times RATING OF MINES. Mr. LYALL sated the President of the Poor-Inw Board whether he would bring in a bill this session for the rating of all mines and timber. Mr. VILLIERS replied that it was not his intention at present. He had, in fact, received a communication from the chairman of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the conditions of these mines, in which that gentleman requested that the government would not propose any measure until the home was in ponsession of what was proposed in their report. There was the lees ' necessity at present Cs legislation, for since the passing of the I. mops Assessment Act there had been so moth disestis ! faction at the exemptions on this kind of property that in all prob.ibility the question would be raised agave before the warts of justice. These exemptions did not exist either in Ireland or Scotland, and he did not see why collieries should be rated sod other mines exempted. The report of the commission wan on the table. THE BALLOT. Mr. BERKELEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it were the intention of her Majesty's government to bring forward, this session, any stringent and decisive measure for the prevention of corruption and the protection of electors at parliamentary elections. Sir G. GREY—The government hare •o intention to pro pose a bill on that subject during the present session. Mr. BERKELEY—Then I give notice that I shall propose • rssolutioo for the perpase of giving protection to electors in the gaps of the ballot. IttSSPORT SYSTEM ON THE CANADIAN FRONTIER. Mr. WATKIN asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any, and what representations had been made to or rewired from the government of or the amber. sador from the United States, in reference to the pa sport system and the other regulations tending to non-inter course, iotrodneed by cyder of Mr. Seward. on the Canadian 'metier, and which regulations were still being enforced at the date of the last deices from Americo. Mr. CARDWELL said the question rather belonged to his boo. [need the Coder Secretary for Foreign Affair@ than to himself. but as it had been put to him be would give an answer. The regulations in quirks were baled on the 17th December, sod no doubt in view of the alarm which prevailed in consequence of measures that were taken along the Canadian frontier. Those manures involved great in convenieace both to American citizens and to the subjects of her Majesty. They hoped that as the mischief had oared tho remedy would cease also. No official representation bad yet been made on the subject, and it was not thought expedient that any should be made. STATE OF IRELAND. On the motion that the hones should go into committee of supply, Mr. HENNESSY rote to move the following resolution:— " That this hour observes with regret the decline of the population of Ireland. sod will readily support her Majesty's government in any well-devised measure to stimulate the profitable employment of the people. That an address to the Crewe be prepared, founded on the foregoing resolution." After noticing the many differences between England and Ireland, though a United Kingdom, in the principles of their respective lawe, is the character of their labouring classes, and in the moil sod geography of the two countries. the hon. member proceeded to indicate the symptoms of decline in the material prosperity of the latter country, in stock, in cereal crops, in the diminished extent of cultivated land, —showing, he said, that Ireland was using her capital as income. He then dwelt upon the decline of the population tbroogh emigration, and insisted that it was the duty of the government to check emigration by boding profitable employment for the people, by applying public mousy to such works as arterial drainage upon a large scale sod the reclamation of the vast amount of waste land. Public money, he observed, had bean voted for such objects in Scotland—the Calsdrian Canal, and bridges—none of which were for imperial porpors7l no part of the money had been rebutted to the Exchequer. By such money something might be dose to check emipa tios from Ireland, and the outlay would be productive. The motion was seconded by Colonel FRISCH. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER suggested reasons why it would be very incoovenient and most bier pdieot to call upon the boor to vote a resolution embody ing the propositions that the population of Ireland had de clined, and that the house would ruction any well-advised measure to stimulet• their profitable employment. H. die puted the accuracy of the illustrations drawn from Scotland, and he showed the difficulties attending the application of public expenditure raised from taxes to local wants. Ireland, he remarked, was exempted from certain taxes, and exemption from public tare should be regarded as public grants and reprdad with greet jealousy as caromed the claim bar fited thereby. He referred to the coosideratioris which should govern grants of public mosey for reproductive works, and insisted that it would be most unjust to the house and to the goverment to force a division upon the motion. Mr. BAOWELL described the condition of Ireland, and its peculiar cheounstances, being an agricultural, not a ma nufactioring gouutry, and indicated measures which, is his opines, would coned Its evils. Mr. DAWSON attributed the onsatiafactory condition of Ireland mainly to a coacurrence of adverse natural ruses that were tnionstrollable. Sir P. O'BRIAN supported the resolutioe. He nerd the importer:roof a settlement of the laud question, which was an starching queetioe in Ireland. Oslowel DUNNE, in reply to the ChanesUorof thellxobee quer, maintained that Ireland was sot squally taxed ; tint Intend paid. in proportion so valnatios, m ss mere in tax sties than Engird, in violation at the treaty of Urea.
