The whole matter had been dii coned, but he had not heard that any protawitiou bad been agreed to. Most certainly her Majesty's ministers had not consented to any agreement that there should be a Maro nit, governor of the Lebanon. He hoped that before the end of the week be should be able to state what bad been the determination come to by the convention. THE UNITED STATES AND THE TREATY OF PABIS. Sir J. PAICINGTON said be had seen a statement in the newspapers that the government of the United States had exiiremeetl their intention to recognise the declaration of the treaty of Paris of 1856. He asked whether her Ma jeNty's government had received any intimation to that effect. Lord J. RUSSELL said the only answer he could give to the question put by the right hon. gentleman was, that pro positions had been presented by them founded .m the de claration of the treaty of Paris. Those propositions were made in concert with the French government, and they had not as yet received any answer to those propositions. Tbey Lad been made, he should think, a fortnight, and he ex pected to have received some answer, but he had not yet received any. Of course till an answer MU received he could not state what cosine her Majesty's government would take. Mr. LIDDELL asked the noble lord whether the course to be pursued by her Majesty's government, namely, to interdict privateers from coming into our porta, was not a different course from that pursued by former governments. Mr. HENLEY mid before the noble lord answered the question perhaps he would allow him one question in ex planation of what he had stated with regard to the pro- visions of the French law—whether it applied to all armed vessels, or merely to privateers Lord J. RUSSELL said he stated that the law was appli- cable to privateers only. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked what means her Majesty's governme-it had taken to make the British seamen who were employed is the trade of this country, and m an y o f whom had been employed in the American trade, aware of the policy of her Majesty, government with respect to America. Lord J. RUSSELL said a proclamation had been issued stating that this country would be neutral, and any British seaman landing at any British port would immediately be come acquainted with the nature of the proclamation. BOU V ERIE—WiII the noble lord be good enough to lay on the table the despatch of which he has just read an extract? 1.;14:1 J. RUSSELL—Is a dad at two. _ APPROPRIATION OF SEATS BILL In answer to Mr. D. Ourrrru, Sir G. C. LEWIS isid he had Axed the Appropri. , tion of Seats Bill for Thursday, bet as the Secretary for India had wow urygeot ludian business to brine forward on that day he ahoohl postpone the order till Monday. M AVNOOTH 4:6Li.15;E. Mr. W .k LL E V gave notice that iu the event °lamination to repent the gnat to theCoUege of Maynooth being begs- fire Le sl e uid more fur a committee to inquire what wore the doctroboa, dielpiirrs. imams and laws of the Roman catholic church u taught at Maynooth, in so far as to as. cei tate Awl report to lb. Louse what were the teat books nr looks of authority adopted or recognised in that seminary on those subjects, sad especially to inquire into the canon law which in 1831 was declared by the Pope to be in force in thew kisplores. THE OARIBALDI FUND. Mr. It COCHRANE pre notice that as an early day be should call attention to • 'misty for the raising of what was called a " ;anboxl , ll, Fund," which woe tireaidtd over by the how member for the Ayr burgh.. other member, of the how, being on the committee of management. and be would ask the noble lord the :iecretary for Foreign Affair, whether the ezistence of • society whose sole object was to r.iie!

DIMS' RT said ke wished for the convenience of the booms to put a question tothe boa. baronet the mem ber for T.o istock in regard to the business of the house for Wein&lay next, whsa the third reading of the Church Rate Abolition Bill was Axed. He withal to ask biro whe ther in consequence of and is deference to the strong desire expressed in the house at the last stage of the bill for some measure of compromise, and in order to give gentlemen who is comesqueece of the expression of that desire had bees imaged for the last mouth is endeAvouring to devise the iffllll,l of a compromise —which he might say had made con siderable regress— sa opportunity of completing a bill to effect the °hied in view, whether he would not think it tossistent with his public duty to postpone the third reading far a fortaight. If the hon. member gave his assent to that request he would uedertake that in the course of that fort. sight a bill to be agreed on by those gentlemen should be coniniunkated to him, and be could then take whatever course he might think proper to take respecting it. Sir J. THELAWNI said he coneidered a question like this coming from the right boo. gentleman was on. which was entitled to consideration on the part of the house. There was a large body in the house who hail an opinion, perhaps an erroneous one, that it was possible to come to some compromise on the question of church rates. He was tot sanguine of that being ,lone, but at the same time he thought at right out of respect to those gentlemen that they should lie accorded the time necessary to consider every plan which they thought might effect that object. He would therefore takespos himself the resposaibility, although he might be blamed for so doing, of acceding to the proposition. METROPOLITAN TOLL CATER. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress had been made towards the Oahu.° of the toll gates round London ; if the Metro polis Roads Commiesiourmi had held any epecial meeti negg to effect that object. or whether they had been enmreaed for the purpose at all; if they had met, what had bee. dorsi, and out of the forty-one commissioners how many were pier sent ; nod if her May'. government iuteoded to peasant env specific proposition for abolishing toll gates. and when? Sir G. C. LEWIS regretted that he could not hold out any hope that In would be able to propose any MINIUM fur the abolition of toll gates in the neighbourhood of the metropdu. It wee a question which would admit of a very simple solution if the parishes were willing that the tog vitas should be abolished, and that the turnpike made within their limits should he maintained out of the parish rates. It was quite clear that any settlement of the ques tion involving the abolition of the tolls must be accom paeicd by a transfer of the charge of maintaining the made to the parish or to a larger district, and in order to effect that change the consent of the persons interested must be obtained. THE PROPOSED AGRICULTURAL SHOW DJ REA .ENTS-PARK. Lard FEJiMOY asked the First Commisnioner of Works whether there was any truth in the report that he had granted permission to the Royal Agricultural So c i e ty o f granted penneeuon to the Royal Agricultural liociety of lugland to hold their annual show in Regent's-park, and if so, whether be had restricted them either as to the suace which they were tooccupy, or tie time during which it was to be so occupied for the erecting and t a ki ng down sheds and other fittings. Mr. COWPER said he bad no doubt that the public opinion of the metropolis wax is favour of every facility being given fur holding the agricultural show in London, and that great dissatisfaction would arise if the offer of the Ilayal Agricultural Society were refused. Proper sites were proviiksi and subscriptions raised in every proviocial town rs which the annual shows were held, and he thought it would be derogatory to the intelligence and liberality of the metropolis if what was given in other towns were refused here. The so-iety found that the north-wasters portion of Regent's.park would be very couveoiesit for their purpose, and he had not been able to think of say portion of the nietropolis where the show would be more acceptable to the public at large. A space of 26 acres could he found in that quarter without encroachiog on the public coovenience. The show would Lot a week, and the society would be restricted to making the necessary preparations in the shortest possible time. PARISH SCHOOL3IASTERS OF SCOTLAND. In reply to • question from Mr. RollarrsoN, The LiiRD ADVOCATE said be intended to bring in • bill that evening to increase the salaries and improve the position of parish sebixdrnasters of Scotland. AMERICAN PRIVATEERING. Mr. W. FORSTER asked the Secretary for Foreign Affeins whether her Majesty's government would take aoy measures to prevent privateerr sailing melee the recrignised flag of the Do-called southern confederacy from bringing their prizes into any port of her Majesty's dominions. He did not put the question with regard to the northern states, as they, be believed, could not issue any letters of marque. Lord .1. RUSSELL—The matter has been considered I.y her If a p*ty's government, and it has been determined, after womb ing the Ls. °Meet, of the crown, that orders shall be given to iutertlict the ships of war awl the privateer. of both parties carrying prizes (rum entering the ports and harbours of the United Kingdom and the colonks and dependencies of her Majesty ; and in order to make the matter more dear wiler, house will allow me to read on extract from a which has been sent from the Foreign-office to the seswewera of colonies. "Her Majesty's government are, as per are aware, desirous of observing the strictest neutrality In the contest which appears to be iamb ' moot between the United States and the so-styled sestedevote states of North AMPTICS, and with the view II ware fully carrying out this principle they propose to in hinikt the armed ships, and also all privat eers of both }Nose from carrying lib' prizes so made by them into the pada, herhenre. or nada of the rutted Kingdom, or of say of bee Majesty's colonies and possessioos abroad." (Cheers.) 'fling tees determined upon Last week, and the orders went ad eis Illatnnley List, and have gone to India to-day. I can dew elate that during the past week we have been in ram oneikenies with the French geyernment on this subject. I amplaisited the French A inbasemlor with the views entertained by her Majesty's government on the subject, and asked him whet the course the French government intended to pur sue upon it. and the French Arnhiumeder informed me that , his government proposed to act in conformity with the ex isting law of France. That *Mating law is founded on the her peeped is the year 1481, and the rule of law at present iii that In came of a war in which France is neutral no pri vateers an bring their prize. into the ports and harbours of Trance and her dependencies for a longer period than twenty.four hours, and they are not allowed to sell their cargoe s, or in any way tether*e of the prises they have taken. After twenty-fear hour. they are obliged to leave without having disposed of their goods. The French go veronica will act ra coskirriaty with that kw.

Lord J. auseau. said the representatives of o. Onat Pewees at Onselneltaople had had two sasetiaer. e ls .Nuid iiiit CUNTONS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that this bill be read • third time. Sir W. JOLLIVIE complained of the locome-tax baits Dow collected quarterly, mimed of half-yearly, aa hitherto. H. J. BAILLIE Mated his belief that even if the Chasesßoe of the Exchequer ever had a surplus it had dim red. A sunk of 150,000/. was required for the dues;Fltade there would be 250,000 i. more for the ex. gisis.ses of the China war than bad been es ti ma t e d ; 0001. for the increased inter e st on E xc h equer Hi sad with the dowry for the Princess Alias 30,0001.—made up 50,000/. more than the 400,000/. surplus which it was proposed to keep in hand. He contend-1 that there would necessarily be a short supply of cotton from America ; and the result must be so induence on the trade of this country, and by consequence on the estimate of revenue for the coming year. There wee so prospect of any cotton from India to for working by the present machinery in this country being obtained. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said that the quarterly payment of the income tea wee convenient to the pourer classes of the payers of the tax. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to follow Hr. &Elle into the question of the surplus, except to (*penally deny that 450,00 Y. had been added to the charge for the year sines the surplus had been died at 400,000 t.; hut eves if that were the case it would have been net by the fact that in the first eight weeks of the present financial year, ea compared with the last, there had been an increase of 500,000/. in the revenue from customs, excise, and stamps. He contended there was no hardship or incon veuieoce in the collection of the intone-tax quarterly, while there was a great political advantage is being able to ani collma the . smear of a tax which was always laggard in its tom. Mr. BENTINCK urged that the state of things in Asserka would ',ma be such as to prevent Lord Palmerston answering a question he (Mr. Ben/Jock) bad twice put to him, and would have to put again, is to say anticipated Menem, in the expenditure of this country, in the confident manner he had hitherto done. After some observations from Mr. Crawford, Sir S. Nortbeote, Mr. Westhead, Mr. Hennessy (on Irish butter), and Mr. Henley (expressing himself satisfied with the statement of Mr. Gla&toue as to the quarterly payment of the income tax), The bill was read a third time and parsed amidst cheers. EAST INDIA LOAN. The house having pose into committee, Sir C. WOOD said it was not hie intention at that time to go at any length iato the details of the question of Indian finance. It would be his duty to do so later in the session; but at the present moment be was not in pmeasion of the information which he required before be could male • detailed financial statement. The finance accounts for 11359.1* were on the table of the house, but were not printed, or in the hands of members. These accounts differed very considerably from the last estimate smithy the ladian government ; but the revenue soil expenditure were considerably higher than they had been led to expect from the estimates. The despatch explanatory of those differ ences had not reached lain ; and although they knew by I telegram that Mr. Laing had made his financial statement for 1.62, they were not in possession of the details o: that statement, and only knew by telegram, and by a pri vate letter receives! that day, that this statement was satis factory. It would be_prematurs. therefore, to go into fur ther detail upon it. The only feet with which the govern ment were acquainted was that Mr. Laing felt himself to be in a poaition to reduce the duty on yarn twist from 101 to fid. But it would still be necessary to make a short gene ral statement as to the financial prospect of India. He had been accused on the one hand of taking too gloomy and on the other of taking too sanguine a view of Indian finance. He honed, however, that he should be able to show th at th e estimate he had ;nada on the previous ocouton wan an accurate one. It was founded on deepstches received from India, and which had been produced on the motion of the bon.members for Inverness-shire and City of London. The first of these papers was • despatch addressed to the government in August last, which contained the most complete view of Indian finance that could be furnished. The remainder of the dispatches had been received from o- addreee:d to the government of India up to Februar) last, when he ad dressed the house on the subject of Indian finance, and when it was said that his statemeut was more genuine than was justified by the facts. The anticipate] deficit at that time was 5,500,000/., and It was anticip.-ted thee that unless some unforeseen cireumstaneee occurred they might look forward to no deficiency in the course of a year, and to no necessity for a loan. Th a t es ti• meta was founded on the anticipation of an increase of taxation to the extent of 2,500,000/. and a reduction of expenditure. The whole increase of t axation was then esti mated at 3,500,000/., of which 1,000,000/. had been realised, and 2,500,000/. might be expected in the course of the year. It appeared from later despatches that the Indian govern ment took a more gloomy view of their finances. Every letter he had since received insured him that a redaction would he made in the course of the year. No doubt, when he said that the existing taxes would not fall short, he guarded himself against the poesibility of the cc. currence of any unforeseen circumstance. If the then existing state of things had remised, he esti mated there would be no deficit on the year. He was now sorry to say that an unforeseen ciremetacce had arisen to affect his calculations, namely, the lamentable bonnie in India, the effect of which would be some loss to the revenue, A loss which in the north-west provinces would, accon'iug to the lieutenant-governor, fall almost entirely on the year 11461.02. There wore wo estimates contained in the despatches from India. The first anticipated en increase of revenue only just sufficient to make up for the falling off of existing taxes; the second anticipate] an increase of 1,000.0001., but the ultimate result of both seemed to point to a deficit of about 2,000,000/. He believed that wee the wont view which could possibly be represented of Indian finance. He did not think they had much to com plain of in regard to winding up branches of expenditure which the mutiny had entailed. They had never ceased to one upon the Indian government the Importance of a redaction in the great and serious expense of the native army ; but Any precipitate reduction would be exceedingly unwise. Letter; and telegrams received from Mr. Laing showed the existence of a state of affairs different (nen what he had anticipated. Mr. Laing estimated that the balances in the Indian treasury would be 1,500,0001., and said he expected by the let of January at latest to bring the income and expenditure to an equilibrium. A later te leg ram received at the India House said that his financial statement was satisfactory, and another in the newspapers announced that there would be ro deficit at all in the course of the present year. (Hear, ' hear.) But in India, whatever might be the ease towards the close of the year, it was quite certain that in the early part there would be a pressure for money. The fanner off Ift the revenue in consequence of the famine would be in the summer months, during which even in ordi years there was a pressure, the deficiency being le the remaining months of the year. With regerd to railway works in India, the government bad thought it advisabU not to stop these works, and he had deemed it his duty to pewees' a million of silver in this country and to seed it to India, to prevent the construction of railways being delayed for want of funds. Now It was neesseary to find money in this rionotry ler these great railway undertakings, and this could only be dime by getting the railway companies to pay depo ts t o tae government, or by going into the market for a lean. The eenweittee wee aware that the expenditure for railroad ==is India wee defrayed by advances from the Indian . sea that th e of the home government ware mat by moneys paid the railway companies into the hems temenry; and their ae tar as "P 81 1•4 ways EVENING, JUNE 4, and means, were so entirely mixed up with railroads, that it was imposaible to disentangle them in making any state ment. In the early days of railroads the companies paid largely into the home treasury, and the expenditure bei ng comparatively small, a considerablehal•roeusuallyremai ned They always proceeded on the understanding that they had at the end of the year money for about three months' ex penditure in hand. At the beginning of this year they anticipated that about 7,000,00 W. would be paid into the home treasury by railway companies. In point of fact the expenditure bad been 8,000,0001., and the payments into the home treasury were under 6,000,000/. The balances of railroad money in the home treasury at the close of the last four or five financial years, which ended on the Ist of May, were as follows:-185/1, 3,265,0001. ; 1857, 3,106,0001. ; 185 e, 2,720,0001. ; 1859, 3,846,000/. •. last year, 2,220,00 W.; and this year only 370/. He was in hopes of getting a cos siderable sum from the companies this year, but he had bees di appointed owing to the state of the money market, and probably to the high rate of disc:oasts. He had, therefore, DO alternative but to appeal to the committee for power to enable him to raise money to meet the demand which would be made on the home treasury in respect of these works in the early part of the year. He proposedto ask for power to borrow a sum of 4,000,0001. What might happen hereafter he was not in a condition to say. He did nut know what the railway companies would pay In the course of the year. If they raised by calls or shares the sums they ought to pay to meet the expenditure in India, it would be un necessary for him to borrow a shilling more. OD the other hand, if it seemed probable at the clone of the nation that they would not be able to pay those sums, thee he might hare to come dove to the house again, and ask for curb powen as he obtained last year for raising money for railway purposes in India. He would now state the general petition of railway finances in India. Previous to the breaking out of the mutiny ex tensive railroad works were sanctioned, the amount re quired for completing which was 36,000,000/., or 54,600,000/. according to the English estimate. Up to the present time the guarantees amounted to 36,530,00 W., and there was paid up a sum of 32,190,0001. From the last amount at appeared that there had been expended 30,802,000 k, and that there remained to be raised before all the railways could be completed • sum of 25,000,000/. Whether it was wise or not to guarantee the railroads to so large an extent was another question. The only practi cal question now was, what was to be done? He had no hentatiou in saying that, as to those milreeds, at least, that were in hand, it was their interest to field' them as fast as possible. (Hear, hear.) They paid 5 per rent. upon all the sums for the construction of railways paid into the home treasury, and the railway companies received r. per cent., whether the railways were made or not., mid whether any receipts were forthcoming (min the traffic or not. It was the government rather than the railway companies that was interested in the early completion of the railways, because until they were for the most part completed no traffic re turns could be expected from passengers or goods, and it was to that source that the government looked for • repay ment of the heavy aunts they paid as guarantee. The government of India felt that so strongly, that they said that rather than the work,' should stop they would recom mend what would otherwise be most objectionable, the raising the money in England. He believed it far be:ter that the money should be raised here. The amount of the charge at pm eat was no lem than two millions per annum, and it was increasing every day. When the railways were completed they might hope to recoup themselves, but till those re oeipta came in there was • large and growing charge on the revenue of India. For these reasons they hail determined that the works on the lines in hand should be prosecuted in the coming7ear to as great an extent as could be does with advantage. There were two railroads the completion of which was looked forward to with great interest in the pre seat state of America, one of which pierced the cotton dis tricts, and the ot:ier skirted it, and the works on these rail ways would be prosecuted with the utmost vigour. In the ensuing year they anticipated that the expenditure upon railroads in India would be six million,,which would be the largest sum that had ever been expended in railways in that country in the same period except this year. There were certain railroads which had not vet been commenced, and it had been determined that the commencement of them should be postponed. Of course no caphel having been laid out upon them no interest was payable. He did rot mean to say that they were not very important lines ultimately to be completed. Generally speaking they were portions of lines to fill up gaps in existing lines, but they passed, generally speaking, through desolate countries, and though he believed it was to the advantage of Delia that these gaps should be filled up, yet the demand for them was not so pressing as that fur the others. The de mand for this year was eight million., and the indispensable demand for the next two yaws would be six or seven mil lions. There remained to be considered the state of the money market, on which would depend when they could go on with the postponed railways. The result was, as ha said before, that 24 or 25 millions of money must be raised for the completion of the railways in India, which were laid out and planned, and which must be completed in order to make them profitable, and relieve the govern ment from the charge of the guarantee. Some gentlemen had done him the honour to call on him curd propose the raising of large gurus for public works in India. Other works might bo of advantage to India, but as long as the railroads were incomplete there was the annual charge on the government for the guaranteed interest, and if all the railroads were aspen the goverutuent would at once be relieved from the charge. Ilrhethe-, when that was dam, they should expend money in other public woks remained to be determined, but he car quite convinmd that the most advantageous expenditure of capital at the present moment was in the completion of these railways, and thus relieving themselves from the charge for guarantee. If they were to raise twelve millions fur these works the annual charge would be 1300,C=., and it became • serious question whether it would be well to raw such a sum. It was a question whether the money mar :et of this country would furnish the capital, except at • rate of interest which would be ruinous. Some of has friends bad told him that the more he caked the more lie was likely to go:, but he believed the wiser course would be to ask only for that which would mee; the present emergency, and then see what the effect of that would be on the money market before they proceeded any further. He was . quite aware that the object that those gentlemen had in new—nawely, the development of the resource, of India—wee one of great and vital importance. When lie became President of the I Boc:rd of Control railways were in their infancy in India, and the main hoes were treated simply as experimental lines. He communicated with his noble and lamented friend Lord Dalhousie, and they deter mined that they should he lmets permanent. Another project, which sonic gentlemen were priming upon them, wrs the opening of the Oodavery. He himself ordered • survey of the Oodavery, believing, contrary to the opiniou of many at that time, that it was capable of being made a great highway in India. Then came that moat impoetart check to the prosperity of laths. the great ruiLdny. It was ' sot extraordinary that so great a *ore could not be healed without leaving mischievous effects behind it, and one consequence was the interruption of public works. The scoounts that they had had lately showed that these effects had nearly paned away, and he hoped that in the course of the present year, or at any rate by the beginning of next, the Indian authorities would be enabled to turn their undivided attention to peaceful pursuit', and to improving the con dition of the country. He was fully aware of the importance of the production of cotton, a sub ject in which he had never been otherwise than deeply interested. Ile bad been in communication with gentlemen who were most deeply interested in the produc tion of cotton in India, and all he could soy was that they should receive the heartien co-operation from the govern ment which it was possible for them to have. (Cheers.) He thought the goverunient were taking the right view now, and he was sure that nothing that the government could do in that respect should be wanting. (Hear, bear.) He had already stated that they had urgei on as rapidly as possible the completion of the niiirocids to the cotton district, and another subject to which they had given attention was the improvement of the ports and harbours of the country. With regard to the Godavery, he thought it better in the handset the government, and that was the opinion of Sir W. Denison, a most experienced engineer officer. A large ap propriation was made last year, and he could enure his , hon. friend that no delay should take place. It was not very likely that he should overlook what was rather a pet project of his own. These matters would be discussed more properly when they were on the general subject of the finances of Italia ; but they were of such primary impor. Lance that he thought it right that he should state gene rally what were the views of the Indian government on the subject. The circumstances of India were more favourable than they bail anticipited. He should be very glad to leave the money in India for the prosecution of public works, and to apply any portion of the four millions raised in this country to the expenses of the home government. Whether there was a deficiency or a surplus in India in the course of the present j ear, it was equally necessary that he should be provided with feuds at home to meet the de mands on the home treasury. The resolution which be would put into the chairman's hands was merely to em power his to raise money, and the sum that be proposed to insert in the resolution was four millions. Mr. BAZI.EY urged the necessity of developing the re sources of India ; ood in reference to cotton showed that that product was not iudigeootte to America, or cultivated by aboriginal labour, and a similar development might be effeck,l in India. Lord STANLEY pointed out that it was on reduction in military expenditure in India that the balancing revenue and reeeipta mainly depended, and he was glad to hear that that reduction was going on. As to preming on rail roads and other works vigorously, there was no alternative but to do so or to let thorn drop altogether. As to the amount of the proposed loan, the resolution did not pledge the house to that, and it might be considered on a future occasion. . . . Mr. J. B. SMITH urged the opening of the river Gods, miey, which ran through the finest cotton district in India, and would afford that cheap transit which ws• indispen made to a supply of cotton to this country. Mr. Crawford, Mr. Smollett, Mr. Dauby Seymour, and Colonel Sykes ocatiamod the debate, which took a wide range over Win affairs generally. revokationt wee agreed to. THE DEATH OF ADMIRAL DUNHAM. On the cedar of tie day for going into canal Mao of ettei 4 PALMERSTON rose and said—l move, sir, that you do now leave the choir ; and, is doing so, take th e opportunity of expressing the deep regret which her Ur yeety's government feel at the great loss which the country las sustained thie very morning by tho death of Vice-Ad miral Dudes, who wee for Are-fted•forty roue is the son 1861. vice of his country, and who distinguished himself equally in every sphere in which he was called upon to act. He was eminent for the good discipline and order of the ships which be commanded ; he was distinguished by the gal lantry and judgment with which he conducted every naval operation in which he was engaged • he was most valuable an • public servant in the direction of naval concerns of the Admiralty, and in the council board, and upon the quarter deck, his merits were equally distinguished and hie ser vices equally valuable to his country. (Hear, bear.) It would haveheen an omission which we should have been sorry to hove been gully of if we, upon this occasion of the chairman leaving the chair upon going into committee of supply upon the navy estimates, had not expressed a deep sense of the loss which the country has sustained, and had not paid • tribute of respect to the memory of so distin guished and valuable • servant whom we have so unexpect edly lost from the public service. Sir J. PAKINGTON—I cannot add to what hen been said with so much feeling by the noble loid more than the expression of the very deep regret that I felt at hearing this morning of the loss the country ban sustained by the death of my gallant friend Sir IL Dundee. During the time that I bad the honour of being at the head of the Admiralty I had the advantage of the assistance of Sir R. Dundee, and I am sure that every one who was acquainted with that gallant officer will acknowledge bow utterly im possible it was to be connected with him in an intimate manner without forming the highest opinion of his cha racter, and feeling for him the warmest friendship and attachment. He was a distinguished member of the naval profession, be wan an honourable, frank, and straigh:- forward man, and I deeply lament his loss, not only on these accounts, but as • private friend for whom I felt the greatest value. Admiral DUNCOILEE—Perhaps the house will allow me to say one word 'emerging the death of my old and valued friend Admiral Dundee. Many years ago I had the pleasure and the honour of serving under the distioguisluxi admiral, and I am convinced that his death must be felt an a great national loss, because, as the noble lord has justly said, whether upon the qu arter-desk, or at the council board, his sage ads :oe and sound judgment were such an to make his loss • very difficult one to he supplied. Sir M. SEYMOUR said that having served with the late Sir R. Dundas on many occasions he might perhaps be allowed to reiterate all that had been said with respect to the great loss which the country had sustained by the death of that distinguished &Boer. Admiral WALCOTT also expressed his sincere sympathy with those who lamented the loss of his late distinguished friend. -- icehouse, having resolved itself into a committee of supply, resumed the consideration of the navy estimates, beginning with vote 10, which Mr. LINDSAY proposed to rcduce by 100,C701. in the item of ISOD,OCX. for the 'pur chase of steam machinery In the course of a long discussion, Lord 0. PAGET stated what were the interlions of the government with regard to ironvased ships, and repented what he had said on Friday—that they had determined to prepare Eye more of those vowels, which would raise the number to twelve. Sir J. PAKINGTON considered this statement not satis factory , looking at the number of iron-oovercd ships built or building in France. Viscount PALMERSTON said that the subject which bad been started by the right hon. gentleman was one of infinitely more importance than the ireri.a of an anchor or the best mode of getting steam-engine boilers. He could usere the house that it bad not eacisind the attention of the government, and that it still occupied their intense consideration. It was one of vital importance to this country, kcause everybody must see at a glance that if any other power were to acquire a superiority at sea it would be fail to the interests of this country. (Hear, bear.) The ques two, therefore, was, what her Majesty's government could do this year to meet the eTorts which other countries, and especially our nearest neighbours, were making to acquire iron.clad vessels? The right bon. baroret had stated the other night with great accuracy the number of iron-clad saws of war which the French government had already con structed or had ordered to be constructed. The total number, so far as her Majesty's government were informed, was 15. The right hon. gentleman said there was another, but of that he (the noble lord) vu not aware ; and the largest portion of them had only recently been ordered to be kid down. (Hear, hear.) It would therefore take a very considerable time before those 15 ships wens ready and Bt for sea. We had already built or were building seven. It had been ttai.ed by hie noble friend that her Majesty's government had been considering what would be the best and readiest method of providing a considerable and valuable addition to our iron clad Beet, and it had been thought that the shortest and meat effectual plan would be to take advantage of the preparations which had been made for constructing a certain number of wooden line-of battle ships, and covering them with iron. It would be obvious that by that plan we should be able to mike use of the materials that, to a certain extent, were ready prepared. We should thus obtain 5 ships. The new French vessels were chiefly built of wood. Sir J. PAKINOTON—AII but two. Lord PALMERSTON—Our five would, therefore, be of exactly the saws descripticri as those which the French were building ; and as they would be armed with guns of the heaviest possible calibre, they would really be very formidable vessels. The government trusled also that they would be sea-going ship as well as Posting batteries. Is addition to these five we had already seven completed or ' commenced, and so we should have twelve as against the fifteen French vessels. They had also a certain number of floating batteries • but we had also vessels of the same class to set evilest them. (Hear, hear.) He wished the house clearly to understand that although the government bad announced the measures they were pre pared to undertake, that did not preclude them from taking other measures with a view to the construction of ships of iron of a larger end more formidable description. (Hear, bear.) From what had occurred in the present discussion it was clear that it would be unwise to undertake the build ing of these ship until they had acquired some clear and definite plan of construction and form of these vessels. No doubt they would involve a very large expenditure, but when exnenditure must necesearily be very great, it became of the first importance to ascertain beforehand how it should be laid out in the best and moat economical manner. These ships must be built by con tract ; they could not be built in the government dockyards, and before the government gave large orders for iron ships, they thought it best to delay until they found out by ex. penance the best and moat useful mode of construction. The country however would soon possess five iron clad ships of the most excellent description, armed with the heaviest guns. His opinion was that they would be ready sooner than those five which the French were beginning to lay down. They had prepared materials, which they had reason to sup pose the Frisch had not ; and they believed their ships would be ready and fit to put to sea as soon as those of the French. kir. LINDSAY ultimately withdrew his amendment, but moved to reduce the same vote by 140,0001. for two troopships, and 60,000/. fur machluery for those ships, mating together 200,0001. After some discussion, the committee divided upon this amendment, which was negatived by 85 to 61. The vote was agreed to, and the chairman was then ordered to report progreos. 'The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and agreed to. The other orders and remaining businets having been disposed of, the house adjourned at twenty minutes to 2 o'clock. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. Yeatermlay, after a reply from Mr. Merewetlier, the committee of which Mr. Ingham is chairman posed the bill of the Cork and Macroom Direct Railway, and nega tived those of the Cork. Blarney, and slacroom and Lee Valley line. Mr. M'Lean, C.E., and other gentlemen were examined by Serjeant Be ßasis, Q.C., on the merits of the proposed Cradley Heath and Dudley Railway, proposed to comninniode with the iron and coal districts, at au estimated cost of 120,000/. The case of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company's Junctions and Deviations Bill wee closed at length in Mr. Woodd'a committee, and Mr. Denison opened the opposition cue of the Sontli•Eastern and Mid-Kent C'ompaniex General trafßc and engineering I evidence wee continued to be taken in promotion of the Sherborne Railway, which is opposed by the South-Western and Exeter and Yeovil Railways, and a great MAU of similar evidence was adduced in the other committees on the bills of the Swansea and Beath Railway, the Cleveland Railway, and the Newcastle and Tyne and Derwent Railway. The Lords' Committee on the Barnsley Coal Railway were further occupied all day in bearing evidence pro and rout the merits of that measure. The following bill' have been passed in the committee over which Lord Redeidale pre skies :—East Suffolk Railway, to grant power respecting the lease of the line, to authoriae arrangemeute in the term Union and Norfolk, and with respect to their share capital ; South Wales Mineral Railway, to extend their line to the Briton Ferry Docks, and to raise 30,00 W. ; and West Midland and Severn Valley Railway, for a line from the Severn Valley at Benthall and Aladeley to the Wellington Junction at Lightmoor. ITNITED LAW CLUES' SOCIETY.—We observe that the twenty-fifth anniversary festival of this very ex. celleet institution is announced to take place at the Free masons' Tavern on Friday, the 21st instant, under the presidency of Sir Hugh Cairns, M.P., who, judging from the list of stewards, will no doubt be well supported. The institution is one of the beat, if not the best, of its kind in existence, as evidenced by the increasing support which it receive, from the profession generally, and the large number of its members.
