He could answer for his noble friend that he would lose no opportunity of carrying that principle out tea practical execution, applying it to each colony as occasion arose. On the one hand he would have a due regard to the interests of the British taxpayer, and oo the other hand to what was due to the honour of the crown. Mr. BAXTER thought, so far from embarraxting the noble duke at the head of the Colonial Department, he was satisfied that the noble duke would find that an in quiry impartially carried on by a committee of that bowie would strengthen his hands and enable him to enforce his views upon those colonies which did not adequately support their own military expenditure. They all knew that very great things had been done in Australis ; and he 'wished that the example which, with so much credit to themselves, they had set should be extended, not only with the sanction of I the Colonial-office, but with that of the house. He hoped, therefore, that her Majesty's government would reconsider their determination. (Cheers.) - - - HOUSE OF LORDS...-TUZSDAY, MARCH 5.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second read ing of the Admiralty Court Jurisdiction Bill, said it was a measure of considerable importance, being to enlarge sad improve the procedure of the High Court of Admiralty—a court which in times of war was of the greatest use in trying questions relating to prises. Lord CRANWORTH approved of the bill generally, but could not give a willing assent to the clause that there should be appeals only upon questions of law. He could not approve of the introduction of juries in any case, be cause an intelligent judge would be better able to dispose of all mattes. brought before him. In all Admiralty came the judge was assisted by two nautical persons, and witnesses were examined orally. But the Judicial Committee had nut the advantage of oral testimony, and therefore they could not come toe better conclusion than the court below. He thought it would be judicious to restrict appeals to Mel where the judge might think it necessary with regard to matters of fact. HOLMAN HUNT'S GREAT PICTURE.

He thought that in all cases of importance where property of considerable amount was at stake a general right of appeal ought to be given. Lord WENSLEYDALE was understood to say that the right of appeal ought to be maintained. Lord KINGSDOWN considered it was necessary to insintain the power of appeal ia order to secure a due inves tigation by the eourt below. It was hupooeible to carry out the provisions of this bill without changing the mode of proceeding in the court below. In Admiralty cues it was unposeible to separate matters of fact and questions of law, and therefore to give power of appeal only on matters of feet would be in effect to stop all appeal. After a few words from the Earl of Fowls and the LORD CRANCRLLOR, the bill was reed a wood time. The house adjourned at ten minutes past six.

Use" W.—For quail sin e Masai lesfseess" The select committee, appointed on the motion of Mr. Villiers, to inquire into the administration of the relief of the poor, sutler the orders, rules, and regulations netted by the Poor-law Commissioners and the Poor-law Board, pursuant to the provisions of the Poor-law Amendment Acta, and into the operation of the law relating to the relief of the poor, met yesterday. The committee consists of the following members :---Mr. &theme Estconrt, Mr. ' Baxley, Mr. Ayrton, Lord Fermoy, Mr. Villiers, Mr. Wel- gz, se hlr. F.. P. Bouverie, Sir A. Boller, Mr. Kekerwich, Peasant, Lord Stanley, Lord Robert Cecil, Sir W. Jollide, Mr. Lowe, Sir J. Acton, Lord E. Howard, Sir G. 1 , Mr. Gard, Mr. Alderman Sidney, Mr. Lyall, and :477Mihies ; Mr. Villiers presided. Mr. Burring, clerk to the Gaullism of the City of Loa-, dos, which compriss thirteen parishes—l have hed 25 years' experience of the operation of the poor•law. The guardians attend once a week, and the average attendance is about 30. During the late frost • considerable number of persons appl ied for relief. The increased cut for five weeks was about 3001., and net more. There was • decrees. in the number of applications as com. pared with the two preceding years. Speaking of my ex perience in the City union, I do not think there was a great amount of antra. ; but that was not the case outside the union. Many persons prefer applying for relief to the police-court, became the relief there given is in money. Nearly 3,000/. was subscribed and sent to the plaice -courts —to the Mansion-house and the Guildhall. At first relief wee given indiscriminately, bat afterwards an Inquiry wu made, and the relief wee more restricted to platoons living in the City. The 'number of parsons relieved at the Man sionbouse was 3,197, and at the Guildhall 2,370; avenging about 9s. 641. kr the five week,. I heard of some case. in which the Lord Mayor was imposed upon. The practice at our board is this. When a person applies for relief the relieving officer makes inquiry into his position. if se. Wesson shook' be immediately needed the relieving officer has the power to give it provided it is administered in kind. On the board day the relieving officer reports to the baud. There le no nenesity tnr any destitution in the City. The Chairman--In what respect did the Poor-law break down in London It did not break down. But statementa have been made to that effect!—Yes ; but they are not correct. If 2,000 persons had come to our nuke, and had been refused relief, it would have broken down, but they never came to us. Then you are prepared to my there is not the smallest evidence to show that the Year law has broken .town in the City of London !—Certainly not. The power in the hands of the guardians in London is greater than in the country. The annual rateable value of the City ia about 750,000 f. The guardians lir ve the power to make such rates aa may be necessary, and would have done so if there had been a iron demand on the union. A penny rani would have raised a sum equal to that distributed at the ifanaiombouse and Guildhall. ludiacriminate relief often induces people to depend on the poor rate or on charitable amistance. We have a sufficient staff of relieving officers, and there is no difficulty in finding out the poor who require relief. By Kr. Ayrtoe—Soms perishes are rated at 3d. in the pound and some at is. If additional rates had recently been required, the principal amount would have been levied on these parishes where the rating is the highest. The relief given in the City is on a more liberalmale than in any other parts of the metropolis. The Chairman—You are of opinion that there was no ocemion for the kind of relief given by the magistrates in the City!-1 sin ; but I cannot say what has been the case le some other part of the metropolis. By Mr. S. Eetcourt—The refusal of relief in our union is seareeli r knows. By .Y. Mikes—We havercoastantly 3,000 poor on our hooks. I never heard of a person dying of starvation in one of the City unions during the last frost. Voluntary charity stepped ia and superseded the poor laws. We have not very lug, demands from the casual poor. By Yr. Alderman Sidney—The union officers remove Very few Scotch or Irish paupers. When we do remove them we pay the mpensee. By Loyd remarry —Our union administers the poor law with much greater liberality than the other part of the metropolis. We cannot give the labour test in the City,and practically we have no test. If the charitable subscriptions in the city had been stopped, the 5,000 people would have been relieved in the City union. We should have put on five or six more relieving officers. Adjourn's'.

Lod evening a meeting of the Committee of the Prerty and Income Tax Association was held at the wuill.lCotfee-house, to coosider " what steps shall be taken to a reduction of the tax on pre.airions incomes," and in the circular convening the meeting the members were urgently requested to attend, "s U....jut...1i0n of the adjustment of the income tax had Leen 1... w again brought prominently before parliament, I.y Mr. ilubbard's motion for a select committee." Mr. J. ElineNos, member of the Common Council, in the unavoidable absence of Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., presided. The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the proceedings, Mr. ELT moved a resolution to the effect that the present mode of charging the same amount of tax on the incomes derived from trades, professions, ex., as on property, is mast unjust, and has only been reluctantly submitted to from time to time under the idea that the tax has been im posed for temporary purposes ; and pledgiog the association to me every legitimate effort to aware a distinction in the tax, so that the amount to be chargod in future under liebedeles 1) and E shall not exceed one-half the amount to be levied on real and funded property. Mr. kit said that • committee of the House of COIIIIIII.IA having been ap pointed to inquire into this important subject, now was the time for the public to agitate in realest to it, and he urged all to support the association in their endeavours to obtain an adjirdment of the tax. Mr. HIcIIAM seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unauhnously. Mr. HIHRAV then proposed the next resolution —"That in the opinion of this meeting it is also unjust to the owners of house property let to weekly, monthly, or yearly tenants, that they should be required to pay the income tax on the gross rental. And this association highly approves of Mr. !tabloid's suggestion in the House of Commons, on the 19th February last, that a reduction should be made in the amount charged on the said proporties Midis extent of one sixth ; bet that the reduction should not apply to property lay oe team." Mr. /CRAM seconded the resolut ion, which was also earned. It was thee resolved to hold meetings in all parts of the country upon the subject.

The original cannot now be seen, hnt all persons can form a cor rect idea of it by going to Baker-street. The copy is full of truth, and is an historical illustration of thekreat deeds of the great duke. MANUFACTURE OF FOREIGN NOTES. Mr. WHITE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the alleged manufacture of notes in this country, in the name of Hungary, had been brought to the notice of her Majesty's government by the government of A.ustria, and what steps had been taken thereupon by the order or advice of her Majesty's government. Lord J. RUSSELL said the manufacture of notes in this country bearing the signature of Kossuth and the royal animal Hungary had been brought to the attention of her Majsaty's government by the Austrian ambassador on the fith of last month. The question was immediately re. ferret to the law officers of the crown, who gave their opinion that on the evidence laid before them it would be hardly possible to obtain a conviction, although they con sidered the fabrication of those notes was against the law of this country, but they did not think there were any means of obtaining the destruction of those notes. In accordance with their advice he wrote to the ambassador of Austria in London to say that her Majesty's government were unable to take any steps on the subject. The Austrian ambassa dor thereupon wrote. saying be hoped her Maiesty's go vernment would consider that he was justified iu taking any steps he thought fit, and be (Lord J. Russell) told him he was quite free to do so. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS OF ART. z. iiiiiiiiii;i•dift:C6;;;taii or state for the Hoene Department when a bill for amending theluntrial Schools Act was likely to be introduced. Sir O. C. LEWIS said that he had had a bill far some time prepared on the subject. but it had been reserved for a abort time, in consequence of the report of the Educa tion Commissioners not havieg yet been presented. THE TELEGRAPHIC CABLE. Mr. LlDDll7l.aileii.i.s.iw.T.:l4 e;tii;idniina! f ± no answer had bees given to a report sent in by Mr. to the Board at Adminaty of the /wish of • trial WI; telegnspkierable laid down between Alverstoke and Bids on the Mk day of Ante last. Mr. 00N1NOHAM wished to ask the noble lord whether he could give the hoses any information with rag: rd to the submarine telegraph which had been laid down between Malta and Alexandria. Lord C. PACET said, in answer to the question of the hon. gentleman (Mr. Coningham), that the Admiralty had nothing to do with the telegraphic cable between Malta and Alemadris. In answer to the other question, he begged to my that, on the 6th of April, 1860, Mr. Piggott applied for permienion to lay down a telegraphic wire from Porta. mouth Dockyard to the Isle of Wight. The Admiralty objected to a line being laid across the harbour of Ports mouth, but gam him leave to lay one down between Afoot.. stoke and the Woof Wight. Mr. Piggott afterwards wrote to the Admiralty, not a report, but a mere announcement that the line had been laid down ; but the Admiralty had nothing to do with the submarine telegraph at all, and therefore no answer boyood a mere acknowledgment of the letter was required. SIR BALDWIN WALKER. Lord C. PAGET TriZeditTinfOriili73l;oube that the Avon had bow sent out that morning to endeavour to in tercept Sir Baldwin Walker in the Narcissus. (A laugh.) Sir J. PAKINGTON—After the statement made by the noble lord, I wish to ask whether it is true that no telegram was sent from the Admiralty until half•past eleven o'clock today; and second)y, whether the Avon is not reckoned one d the slowest akips in ber Majesty's service! Lord C. PAGET—It is perfectly true that the orders to the Avon way only sent out this morning ; but it must be rausembered that the Avon started from Davenport, and we have none of Sir Baldwin Walker having put out to ma from Yarmouth roads, where he had taken shelter yesterday nicanieg if cossequeoce of the gale. It is, therefore, quite possible that the Avon may succeed in cutting him off. TRAMWAYS ON PUBLIC THOROUGHFARES. Mr. MARSHY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had mini red the expediency of proposing to parliament some mesanre far enabling muni cipal bodies and other local authorities having control of highways to lay down, or to consent to the laving down of tramways Oil ehteta and other public thoroughfares. Sir G. C. LEWIS mid that be had been requested to in sert a clams la the Highways Bill with respect to tramw►ys; but it appeared to him desirable not to mix that new ques tion with the law affecting highways. The subject, how ever, was well worthy consideration. MARTENS AND OPERATIVES. Mr. MACKINNON obtained leave to bring in • bill for establishing equitable cuuncila of conciliation, to settle diffe rences between masters and operative*. COLONIAL MILITARY EXPENDITURE. I Mr. A. MILLS moved for the appointment of • select committee on calculi' military expenditure, to inquire and report whether any and what alterations might be advan tageously adopted in regard to the defence of the British dependencies, and the proportions of cost of such defence us now defrayed from imperial and colonial funds respectively. Mr. MARSH had particular pleasure in seconding the motion, because the colony of New Zealand, with which he was principally connected, hail no soldiers and no military defence. He thought that our colonies ought not, strictly speaking, to have &military defence. A fleet, with &sufficient number of marines, would, in his opinion, be a much more effectual defence than • garrison of soldiers. The advantage possessed by a fleet was that it could move very readily to 1 , any point on the coast where its presence might be re- uired. It would be recollected that the volunteers of New Zealand were, one recent occasion, placed in great jeopardy, and would have been cut off by the natives but for the assistance of blue jackets. The lion. member who bad sub mitted the motion to the house had, lie thought, made • mistake In raying that the Australian colonies contributed only 740001. to the Patriotic Fund, as it was within his own knowledge. that New Routh Wales, by no means the largest of these colonies, had alone subscribed h'3,000/. Mr. C. FORTESCUE (who was indistinctly heard) assured the hon. gentleman that he would not treat his motion as • party attack opts the government. That was not the view which the government took of it, and he should consider the motion simply as a proposal no the subject to which it related. He was convinced that if the House of Commons took the negotiation from the bands of the executive government and carried it on by means of • committee of the house, this would cause dis satisfaction in the colonies, and would not promote the end they had in view. Most of the colonies were so far inde pendent that any change of system could oely be carried out by oautioua negotiation. The house might as well attempt to carry on negotiations with the government of France as to carry on negotiations with the government of the colonies. Then theta was not after all so much difference as to the principle on which improvement in our colonial system was to proceed. His noble Meal at the head of the colonial de- Etment was quite reedy to &dolt the principle laid down General Peel. He made an exception as to all the rges of the internal police falling on the colonies. That could only apply to commuoities of English origin, and not to places where there was a heterogeneous population, like that in Trinidad and the Mauritius, where, if the control of the crown were to be withdrawn for six months, he thought it would be necessary for them to trtnefer their allegiance to some other crown. Applying one by one that principle to the colonies, that wad a task that might be ful filled, bat it meat be left to be done by the department* Lord It. CECIL said that the speech of the Under- I Secretary for the Colonies was • conclusive argument for the motion. He admitted that there were many doubts and uncertainties in the case—if so, what more proper tribunal to which to refer it than the House of Commons ? After some remarks from Sir J. TRILLAW:tT, Mr. ADDERLEY said that wars were just as likely to arise out of colonial as out of home questions, showing that more money bad been spent io Kaffir and other colonial wars than in those of our own making. He deuied that the colonies had, in fact, shown • proper spirit of self-re- Banes. The military expenditure on amount°, the colouies was extravagant and unjustifiable. Ho implored the ' government to reconsider their determination with regard to this committee. Lord PALMERSTON—The right hon. gentleman oer. ' I *Maly thinks the opinion of this house capable of very rapid formation if be imagines that It has bees maimed and brought to perfection in the sheet period daring which this discumio• his been carried on. I perfectly agree with my Lon. friend in the objections he bas urged to the motion proposed. It seems to me that the objects to which the committee would direct its atteutima may be classed under two heads : first of all, it would have to determine what number of troops should be retained in each of our foreign colonies and dependencies • and next, it would have to de ternune by whom throe ;mops should be paid. Now, I think it is not too much to say, that the question of what should be the proper amount of garrison from time to time and from year to year under the via ping and fluctuating circumstances of the empire and its relations with foreign powers—what should be the actual number of troops in each of our dependencies, varying infinitely in their actions and relations—cannot be properly determined Ly • committee of this house, Lut is one which must Le re solved by the discretion of the executive government, con versant from time to time with all the considerations by which such a decision is to be governed. Then as to the question of how these troops are to be paid. It is not within the competence of • committee, nor of the House of Commons, nor of the British government itself, to determine what amount of oontributions each of these colonies should make ; because we all know that many of them have independent legislatures, and that any arrangements for dividing the expense of gar risons could only be effected by negotiations between the British government and colonial government' and legisla tures. Such negotiations could not be carried on by a com mittee of the House of Commons. Therefore lam bound to say that the tendency of the motion is rather to transfer to • °palmate° of this house duties and functions which pro perly belong to the responsible advisers of the crown. This is my opinion ; and I can therefore anticipate no great political result from a committee, if the house affirm that one should be appointed. The right hon. gentleman who has just sat down, in his real to induce the government to consent to the motion, made use of an argument not very likely to carry conviction to our minds. He mid that if the government would agree to this inquiry, he should be greatly tempted to vote for the abolition of the hop duties. (Laughter.) If the government is its aegutiations with colonial legislatures should be provided with no better arguments to produce an impression on them than throne which the right bon. gentleman has endeavoured to use in his negotiations with the government, I am afraid that neither the government nor the colonies would make such progress in the distribution of expenses which the right hoe. gentle. man wishes. (A laugh.) But although undoubtedly I do not think any good ground Las been laid for • committee, and I cannot anticipate any good malts from it, yet if it appears to be the trwish of the house, as I have collected t l is in the mune of this debate. (Ironical cheers.) I have no each strong objection to the motion as to induce the government to divide the house upon it. At the same time, I repeat that Ido not anticipate those advantages from the appointment of • committee that the mover ex pects, bemuse we think that the information accessary for the guidsnes of the government is already in our hands. But nevertheless as it seems to be the wish of the house that the motion should be agreed to, I do not oppose it, and will not put the house to the trouble of • division. The motion was them agreed to without • division, sold some laughter. THE HOP DUTIES. Donlon and Mr. MILDMAY premoted petitions in favour of the abolition of the tax upon hope. Mr. DODSON then rose, pursuant to notice, to more that the maintenance of any duties upon hope is impolitic, and that is any remission of taxation or adjustment of financial burdens provision should he made fur the removal of such duties. He said that the hop duties immediately interested only a few English counties, otherwise they would long ago have beets abolished. The tax operated as an excise duty which was ultimately borne by the consumer, who had to pay not only the amount of the tax, hut the suecessive accumulations of interest which it bore. The right bon. bert. the member for Carlisle condemned it in 1/452 u injurious both to the producer and the consumer, whilst the cost of collection was excessive. It was collected bye special staff, so. that if the duty were repealed the whole staff might be abolished. (Hear, hear.) His next authority was the hen. member for Rochdale, who stigma. timed it as a tax which was fitter for the atmosphere of Turkey than thatof free trade England. In ISM Lon] Aberdeen said to • deputation that so greet were the objections to the tax, that if it did not exist already nobody would think of putting it on. Other Chancellor* of the Exchequer had condemned it, and only one bad attempted to praise it, namely, the right hon. baronet the Secretary for India. He (Re. Dodson) had waittxl on the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the right hon. gentleman bad not advanced • single argument in favour of the tax. Indeed, it would be bard to defend this excise duty. True, our expenses were great and oar financial burthens heavy', but if the latter must be heavy, surely they ought to he made le equal and as little Er:ive as possible. (Hear, hear.) All he asked was hen the Chancellor of the Exchequer took the finances of the country into consideration he would see whether this small but unfair and unequal pressure might not be removed. (Hear, bear.) lie knew how powerful the right hon. gentleman was to make the WORN) appear the better reason, but be implored the house not to be led away by the right hon. gentleman's eloquence, but to consider the question on its own merits. The hon. member in conclusion repeated his motion. Sir B. BRIDGES seconded the motion. He asked the right hon. gentleman opposite whether the hop duty was not the most troublesome, and hop growers the greatest bores he had ever met with in his official capacity (The Chancellor of the Exchequer nodded assent. Laughter.) Well, the right bon. Kentlemau nodded assent, but it was the galled jade that winced ; the hop grower was the most persecuted tax payer in the country. (Hear, bear.) The cost of celiac:me was the same no mutter what the product, and hot veer the duty of the collector was nearly a sinecure. 'The hop growers wore subject to many vicis situdes. Even the hops themselves suffered from many First the flea, then the fly, Then the bug, and then they die. And be would add—then the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir J. SHELLEY, an a bop grower, felt bound to support the inotioa. . . . Lord PEVENSEY supported the motion. Mr. BRIGHT coded that the hop duty was absurd and ridiculous. It could never be regarded as a permanent source of revenue. Nevertheless, he maintained that other imposts, and especially the paper duty. stood before it for remission. . . . .-- Loral HOLHESDALE, on the contrary, contended that the tax on hops, as being a tax on the raw material. ought to have priority for remission. The CH.tNCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the question now to be decided did not turn upon the merits of the hop duty, or the policy of continuing it as a source of revenue. As a tea it was fairly chargeable with many peculiar evils, being unequal, uncertain, precarious, and tending to press heavily upon the contributor during *eases' of distress. It might also lie designated an impost on raw material. On the other hand it was every cheaply collected tax, and its collection, unlike that of the paper duty or the spirit duty, did not interfere with any process of manufacture. Thu fact was, that hop cultivation was altogether a lottery, Ia which the duty operated as a deduction from the prime, and an aggravation of the blanks. The abolition of the duty would not remove the liability to loss and distress which the growers suffered through the operation of natural cause. ; and though the product to the revenue was equally liable to fluctuation, he could nut concur in the conclusion that it ought, under present circumstances, to be surrendered. The motion pledged the house to an ab stract resolution, which many considerations might render it most impolitic to fultL Mr. E. BALL and Lord H. YANK supported the motion. Mr. DISRAELI hoped the house would well consider the step they took before they agreed to the motion. He was not at all insensible to the strength of the claim which had been brought before them that evening. It had been his lot on several occasions to have the care of the hop. growers placed before him with great ability, and with greet Juices' of detail, and on no occasion hail it barn put forward with more efficiency than it had been to-night by the hon. member for Kent, whom he hoped to see taking a more active part in their debates. Ilia boo. friend the member from Cambridgeshire did not establish a case for therepml of the tax when he said the tax was a grievance. Whether a tax were a grievanoe was a secondary matter. They must first look to the state of the revenue. There was nothing that was not a grievance and which was not • restriction to enterprise. The supporters of the motion assumed that the Chancellor of the Exchequerhad a earplug and they put in their claims fur o share of it, whereas they were at that moment in a state of deficiency, which was only supplied by annual nod temporary taxation. Under these circumstances, they were not t o consider a grievance which pressed on a particular class, but they must consider the general prospects of the country with regard to its financial resources. He did not want to enter now into the principle' that guided the commercial legislation of last year, or the consequences that had accrued from it. They would soon have an authentic account, and be better able to give an opinion, but that those consequences were serious no one doubted: Then they must remember that they un fortunately had experience of the evil effects of a bad har vest. They were told by those who embraced the principle ' of free trade that the disasters of • bad harvest would no longer be experienced. He would not now enter into any discussion whether those representations were just, but be thought they would all agree that a bad harvest in this country was • great evil. We bad had to encounter finan cial and commercial disturbances and • bad harvest in the face of an increased and increasing expenditure. It seemed to him this wane critical period in which we lived, and it was the duty of every member of that house to form his own opinion as to what might be the character of palls events, and what might occur in the fortunes of the world , (Hear. He had no hesitation in saying that this was • cell' period, and be would be a very rash leader of his countrymen who should lead them to indulge in any hope of any considerable reduction of expenditure or taxation. ! In fact every man knew it was • difficult period, sod that we ought to husband our resource.. Every one felt that . the future was obecure and ambiguous, and that it was • ' period in which no one could speak with authority to guide I them. Now, was this a pecizel in which they should come forward to f urther embuirroas the minister entrusted with : the management of the finances, and who must, under the circunistarices, have so many difficulties to encounter? He did not think he should be justified in supporting the motion of the bon. member for Sussex. The hon. gentle man and his friends might justify this motion by the reeo -1 lotion to which the house agreed on the paper duties ; but really there was no similarity between them. It was the office of the House of Commons, if it bad a strong opinion with reference to any particular tax, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer had some surplus at his disposal, it was the highest duty of the House of Commons be preliminarily to express its opinion as to the tax which it believed to a prominent grievance. That was the condi tion with regard to the paper duties when the house came to that resolution ; but the government announced in no unequivocal langusp that it was accepted by them as a re- , solution that would not affect their conduct. But was that the position of the member for Sussex? The resolution with respect to the paper duties did not at all touch the im pending budget. The present was a resolution which must affect the budget, and it was impossible if it we carried that it should not affect the financial arrangements which the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended to recommend to the house. Was that fair He was aware of all the argil inenta that could be urgediagaiast the bop duty ; he had trial to relieve that interest, hut he could not subscribe to the doctrine that this was • tax that as a grievant took the highest rank of those which could In jure her Majesty's subjects. He thought there were many others which they must consider before, in the remission of taxation, they came to that ; and he thought nothing could be more =Wile, in the present condition of the country, than that we should enter into those fanciful and schemes of remission of taxation, when they ought fOuP t et pare their minds for real snd severe toil, for really under standing the difficulties of their position, sod bringing ; . bear on it all the resources of the country, and what we the most important of all national resources, that spirit* the community which was ready to bear greet burdens when they felt they were required by the necessities of the country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DODSON in reply, disclaimed all intention of inter fering with the financial arrangements of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. As long ago as 18113 a resolution was moved by Mr. Peewee, and erred to by the house, to the effect that the hop duty was impolitic and ought to be re moved. On that occasion the hon. member for Birmingham said the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought t~ be obliged to the boeourable member for bringing forward the resolution before the budget. and he (Mr. Dodson) claimed the vote of the collaigne of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to-night (Mr. M. Gibbon), because on that occasion he voted for the motion of Mr. Peewee. ("Hear, hear,"and • laugh.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer had that night gratified the advocates of the repeal of the hop duty. He admitted threafourths of the arguments in favour of that raped and be passed over bigamies the other fourth. The Chasaellor of the Exchequer was not correct on another point, for the acreage of the hop growth was quite as large twenty years ago as it was DOW. As to the proper period for bringing forward such a resolution it might be said th it if it was introduced by an audependent member lie was told it was too soon, and if slier the budget it was too late. (Hear, hear.) If en in dependent member moved a resolution lie was told it was an abstract resolution ; if he brought in a bill, either before the budget or after it, he WAS told that the measure ought Dot to be in the hands of a private member. The mode which he had adopted of bringing forward a hypothetical resolution appeared to him to be the only way of bringing a resolution of that kind before the house. (Hear.) The house divided : Az ma moth's wu therefor* lad. NAVY (PROMOTION AND 110 202-92 Sir J. ELPHINSTONE moved for a select committee to consider the present system of prornution and retirement in the royal navy, and the present pa, and position of the several dames of naval officers, and to report what changes therein were desirable, with a view to theurcreased efficiency of the naval service. The hon. member said the officers com plained that their pay was deficient, and the command money which had been granted them by the Admiralty wee accompanied by conditions which left them in some came worse off than before. Mr. B. COCHRANE, in seconding the motion, begged to call the attention of the government to the case of the reserved captains, who had been treated in a most unjust manner. By a bargain in 18.51, they had Leen induced to place their names on a reserved, not upon a retired list and then in 18.56, there was another order in council which placed them in the position of retired °Mows. This was a question of only :1,0001. a year, and he thought it was a point well worthy the attention of her Majesty's govern ment. The question having been put from the chair, Sir H. STRACEY said if the con:oak,' were granted, he believed the means might be found to make the navy an efficient and a contented one. Sir F. T. BARING thought this method of agitating the House of Com'nons would not tend to the harmony or discipline of the navy. Admiral WALCOTT supported the motion. He must say that in his own person it was most unfair and unjust to be placed on the reserved list. In In; it was his good fortune to be sent to the coast of Cuba to put down pirates. Me succeeded in putting them down, and for that service he was recommended for the companionship of the Bath by the Ad mbalty of the day, and yet to this hour every First Lord, with the exception of Lord Ellenhormigh, had treated him with indifference and neglect. He might say that he had been refused the opportunity of being, he trusted, au orna meet to his profession. (Meer, hear.) If they treated their ofßeers with justice, they would devote their lives to the service of their country. Sir M. SEYMOUR said he should have been glad if the necessity for this motion had been avoided. Without wishing to cast reflections on any one in the service, he must say that he knew of recent instances in which a dis position had been evinced by officers to retire from edit . ° service. A very different feeling formerly animated naval officers. He cordially supported the motion of his hon. and gallant friend, and hoped it would be agreed to by the house. Sir J. PAKINGTON deeply regretted that the bon. and gallant admiral behind him, led away by the warmth of his feelings, had charged him with having, while he was at the head of the Admiralty, treated him with neglect and con tempt. Admiral Wslcot—"So you did.") (Laughter and cries of " Order.") He could assure the gallant admiral and the both* that not even such expression+ of warmth bad ever led him for a single moment to regard his services' or his professional character with soy but feeling+ of sitimre respect. The gallant admiral, he WWI NOM to say, took greet offence at him, and that evening lie !Lavery candidly told the house the muse of that oleuce, namely, that he did not recommend him for the honour of a companionship of the Bath. Admiral WALCOTT—Not that you slid not recommend me, but that you slid nut follow out the recommendation. (Cries of "Order.") Sir J. PAKINGTON said as the gallant admiral had brought the subject forward, awl as he lad been made the subject of attack, the house, he was sure, would feel it was only justice to himself (Sir J. Pakingt o n) that the truth 'should be known. If the gallant admiral would only refer to the letters he had written to hint lie would see that he (the right hoe. baronet) did convey this refusal—and be was sorry to be obliged to convey it—in the kindest sod moat conciliatory language. The simple reason for the refusal was that the adraind's case did not come within the rule* of the order, and therefore he really Lad no option in the matter and no power to reeommeod. Admiral WALMOTT—I think I have shown that it did come within the rules._ Sir J. PARINOTON must now beg to touch fore few momenta on the motion of the hon. baronet the member for Portsmouth. He regretted that the tlitheugaion upon k.
