He (Mr. Haase) was awry that the noble lord dtd not think that, which had already been laid before the committee, might be laid on the table, as It might grimly emit is say discumione on the subject. He hoped that the noble lord would reconsider his determination, sad lay the document upon the table according to the snail cus tom of the house, which ruled that who any partite' of • document was read by any member of the bowie, such document was to bs laid In its complete form on the table. This report having been laid before the committee was a public paper, and should, as be conceived, be placed without delay I. the bands of esemben. Mr. DISRAELI ail not mean to question the propriety of the course taken by the noble lord, but at the same time he thought it his duty to express his opinion, that hie hon. friend the member for Inverness was fully justified in asking for the drift report, because the house would reliant that the second and complete report could not mini until after the termination of the seseion—(bear,hear)—and that, then fore, his hon. friend would have no appal* lenity of vindicat ing his original stateliest.

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. Lord NAAS moved ea address. preying h.?

Lard J. Mammas seconded the ----- The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to consent to the motion, and stated the Gauss which bad hitherto prevented the attainment of an object the advan tages of which were great and obvious, and whitish he was as noxious u anybody could be to accomplish. Toe preferable routs was undtubtedly that by way of the Esst Indies, which would connect the Australian colonies with the East Indies and China ; and an offer bad been made by the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, so advan tageous that he regretted it bad not been closed with. The present ummunication between this country and India we. xarri.4 on, in the first place, by what was timed the Calcutta line, under a contract which would expire at the end of two veers. Two or thee* years ego there bad been • Nighty line from Southamp. ton, bat that portion of it between Sontlituptoo and Alexandria had been discontinued, and the I present Bombay mail was curled through France to Malta, thence by government vessels to Alex andria, and by yeasts of the But India Company from Sues to Bombay, where it stopped. The pay ment for this service was strut 100,0001.—half by the Best India C mussy, and 60,0001. by this coan'ry. The Penin sular and Origin al Steam Navigation Company bad offered, it the whole communication were confined to them, botany the honey mail from Souttuumpton to Malta, thence to Alex andria, and hen Sues to Bombay, and on to Singapore, thence to branch out into lines that would effect a direct common cation between Bombay, Calcutta, China, and the Atraban Monies. The compact' offered to do this for 105,0001. As the East India Cowpony sum parties to the present arrangement, be could not disturb it wi..heut their concurrence; hat they had declined to be parties to any new arrangement, from a desire to keep in complete efficiency the Indian navy. and because the arrangement would plus a monopoly i■ the bands of a single company. The ;elapse' ►e had made was, that two-V.irds of the sum should be paid by this country, and one-third by the Beet Indite Company, and he could not st.ffieWntly express hie r gret that such an arrangement could not be effected until the expiration of the 'hiring contract. Sir J. HOBO, with some degree of warmth, complained of the uncanoid and unfair tonne taken by Sir C. Wood, who had given an expires experition of the correspondence be tween him and the Boat India Company. la reaming to the eommuniestion between Sae: sad Bombay, in (behinds of that company, Sir Charles had said nothing of the conaiderauons out of which had arisen a condition pre cedent., distinctly understood in the cerreepondence, that that pert of the communication should be coaducted by the Indies navy, and which coneitticn the government proposed to pt rid o'. Sir J. Hogg gave explanations upon other points respecting which he alleged that the Chancellor's representations were unfair, and charged him with want et trackage* in his communications with the E tat India Company, who ;eenWeir to enter into a fur arrangement, aad who bad incurred consi derable expense in maintaining the committal:sties between Sues and Bambsy. The mamatinicition proposed by the Chancellor or the lizehequer was a postal erommunicatioe, whereas what was wanted was • communicatioa for mer chandise sad passengers, and the route for such a COMUILIMI es. ion was rant] the Cape of Good Hope ; that by the Red Sea to Australia would be mosinausly expensive. The latter mate was mos for the advantage of the But India Com parry, but they wished for that most beneficial to the eons sounity. He again complained that the East India Compaqy should have beer held up by Sir C. Wool to obloquy, an d ' gave nodes that he should more that the whole siMrespoad tato be laid helms the house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, In ozgeAn• dos, said he had not deathbed the other routes *Wee had beet suggested and the offers which bad been made, the noble lord who brought forward the motion having done so most accurately. The hoe. mentions& was not correct ia tying that ha had not commuisiasted the terms of the con tract to the Beet India Company, for the very first step be took whoa he had decided upon the best firm of comannica don— _ _ _ Sir J.

Kr. ANDERSON bogged to cenebonte the statement of the Chancellor of the Barbeganr, that the proposal now made for tommunicaties with Australia had no connexion with the the to Calcutta. They were eatintly sorrels, and the arenag to etas by so meant b nand the governmant to the other. The hon. gantleesaa had asked what bad steam emanianiestion between Sues and Bombay to do with 'teen counnunitabon to Australia ? That was a natural question, asd he would endeavour to answer It. The diffi culty to be met on this subject was a financial ono—how the eosetouniesion could be established with the least expense. The eumperstive chespana of postal traffic, by contract steam vessels, areas from their being able to combine the passage, sad goods train with the c onv eyance of ensile, sad In slandering t h e question it became his duty, and that of his eollearns in the direction of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, to consid.r in what way they could combine the greatest smount of passenger and goods traffic. Several stations were fixed between Austra lia, China, sand the mother country; but when they got to Bombay, there they were stopp,n. He wee in favour tit the route proposed by the Peninettler end Oriental Steam Navigation egmpiny, as by it they would have a line of c.mmunication much more extensive end without additional cost.

After the statement that had been made by the Chanedlor of the Becheqiier, what he (Mr. Hume) rose for was to more that the discussion should be closet for the present until the c inesposidenee should have been laid on the table. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DIVETT was very mail pleased at the discussion, ineentesh a it had brought oat the Deputy Cnairman of the But India Company in his true colours before the house.

The Bast India Company were now by this debate placed before the public in the position of an obstructive body, end as the noble lord the member foe Mayo (L ed Na..) bad done his duty in vellum forth the debate. in his (Mr. Divett's) opinion the noble lord had done suffident, end he therefore h 'pd he would cot press to a division.

SUPPLY. The !thugs then rani V' it;;lii;tO Committee of Supply. Os the vote of 8,5001 to the Dublin H fuse of Industry, Mr. REYNOLDS said that in 1845 the vote was 14,7951., and in 1849 it was 12,0931., whilst at present it was only 8 5001. He believed the nYginal proposition was to reduce the vote at the rate of 20 per cent., but the Chancellor of the Exchequer in compassion only reduced it by 10 per cent, He thought the reducion an open viol Won, it rot of the letter, at least of the spirit of the act of union. (Hear, beer.) The House of Industry existed at the time of the union, and there was an implied understanding that all grants made and allowed by the IriA parliament should sot be disturbed by the English . (Hear, hear.) Therefore be did not think this reduetios, just. He found on the other aide of the paper the the house contemplated v Ming 8001. to French refugees, which vote was originally passed in 179/. and consequently not one of whom was at present living (Hear, hear.) Ti.e other night the government forced a vote of 1,6751. on the dissenting clergy, notwithstanding the opposition of the diventing members, who repudiated it. (Hear, hear.) If he were in ceder he would move that the vote be inereaseflto 14,5001. Mr. GROGAN urgei the necessity of enlarging the grant. ' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said thst at 4 present he could not assent to any alteration of the vote. An that description of votes were being gradually reduced. The vete was then agreed to On 7001. being required forth* maiotanance of the Dublin • Female Orphan Asylum, Mr. REYNOLDS objee'ed to the vote, as the institu tion was of a purely sects/inn character. He was opposed t 0 tattle lie sectarianism, as well se protestant; therefore he thought the 7001 should be handed over to the Dublin House of Industry. but if not, he begged to move it be disallowed altogether. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the vote bad been granted for many years, and therefore it would not be fair at premise to disallow it altogether. Mr. HAMILTON supported the vote. Mr. HUME thought It better to reduce votes gradually than to abolish them altogether. Mr. REYNOLDS did not feel himself bound by the ad missions of the noble Lard the member fir Surrey, lidieving thathe could form a better muintate of the value of such in stitutions as the present than his lordship. He did not oppose this grant from any tinkled feeling towards his protestant fallow-citizens, but he did protest that an institution should be sustained in Dahlia of an e :elusively protestant character, which appropriated its funds to proselytising purpose.. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted that the government ought to withdraw such grants as the present gradually. Mr. REYNOLDS said the exclusively protestant character of the charity was proved by the fact that it professed " to instruct 168 girls " in the principles of the established religion." Mr. HUME thought that charitable institutions, sap ported by the public, ought not to be purchuers of stock, and yet be found that this institution had purchased Three eadir Quarter per Cent. stock for 4001. The vow wss agreed to. A vote of 2,0001. for the Westmoreland Lock Hospital was spud to. Upon the motion that 7001. be voted for the Lying-In Hnspital. Dublin, Mr. REYNOLDS 'sprinted his repot that the Omani loe of the Exchequer had felt it hie duty to rodeos this past. The eeP"ee of the institnioa stated that appeals in • its behalf had been made to the nobility, and that only 13 replies sad been returned and 161. received. It was, thornier*, feared that the hospital would have to be elesed. He pro tested against what he considered a violation of the implied understanding • f the Act of Union embraced in this redo°. tioa, and he hoped, that between the present time and 12 months hence, th e Chancellor of the Exchequer would take a more merciful consideration of this grant than he had done to-night. Mr. HUME reminded the hon. gentleman that the Aet of Union only stipulated that these grants should continue for 20 yens. Therefore, in 1820, these grants ought to have *eased. He had always protested against the past of 3,0001. to the Refuge for the Destitute in this country believing that the less public money was gives t* asap insti tutions the less misery prevailed. Mr. REYNOLDS compl• bud that the hon. member for Montrose was sot quits se economical with regard to his votes when Scotland was concerned—(a laugh)—for he had voted or promised to vote 25,0001. of the public money to erect a gallery of arta in Edinburgh. He had compaalea, therefore, for inanimate pictures of humanity, while hs withdrew all compassion from the 2,000 poor women who had last year Man confined within the walls of the Dublin Lying-in Hospital. lie was invariably on the side of eco nomy when an Irish vote was proposed. Colonel RAWDUN thought the present an unfortunate time for reducing the grant, and said that, according to letters which were extant, Ireland was, if the Union Act plastid, to have a right to all the resources of England, not as a matter of favour, but as one of duty. The vote was agreed to. The sum of 1,3501 was voted to Dr. itcvsas's Hospital, A vote of 3,4201. for the fever hospital and house of re- I wily, Cork-street, Dublin, was agreed to, • A vote of 4501. for the epitul for Incurables, • was agreed to. • Upon the motion that a sum of 37,6981. be voted to de. fray the expo., of non-oonfurmieg, ensdlog, and protestant ' dissenting ministers in Irelsn•l, • Mr. SCULLY said he had a duty to perform to the house and the country, with 'devotee to the management of liaginrit Drum la evoked.

Sir W. SOMERVILLE said that whateves had been done in this ease had been dose with the senstles and ap proval of the government, and that the euesea(eelos appointed to Inquire into the 'induct of Matthews or Ceish•s e the late ebief-clerk in the secretery's cues, bad .thing to do with the question. When Mr. Dill ohms to do what every other presbyteries clergyman In Ireland had dose, all the arrears would be Feld bins, sad that until he complied with the requisition of the peens ' sent—and the government bad a right to require sub leformatioa as they considered necessary, and then wes sothing irksome, onerous, or unfair is the • requisition ',the government—the money would be withheld from him. Meer, beer) There were in Ireland 483 presby• cerise eniaieters, and 482 of them had complied with the requisitions of the government, Mr. Dill alone bad not done so, and till be did the Lord Lieutenant had decided that the arrears ix his portion of the "Regius Donau" should not Ise paid. The in .ney was waiting for him when be complied with tbe regulation, not of Mr. Matthews, but of the government. Mr. B. OSBORNE said whatever difference of opi nion there might be is other respects. it must be gratifying to every one to see the Roman Who lie member for Tipperary advocating the cause of the ill-need and persecuted preebyterian minister of Clonmet. He (Mr. Osborne) was acquainted with Mr. Dill, who was is honest and excellent man. and one who did much to promote the bond of anion between the either lies and pro's/tants of his neiabbourhoot The Oatmeal of the right hon. geatleman, the Secretary for Ireland, was likely to masked, bosun he said that Kr. Matthews wee not to blame is this matter. New, it was notorious to every one wb• knew anything of Dublin Lamle, that till the time of his absconding, he was the 'overissue - I of Ireland as far as related to the Regina Doman. Another sad more important question was, how long were they to go on granting this sum,—(hiter, beer)—and thus creating another established church in Ireland I (Hear, hear.) As long as these grants were made there would be sup re form in the church in Ireland. He would ask how the Roman Catholics liked to see the Protestant Episeopal aid Presbyterian churches paid by the state, while they were throw. oa their owa removes' and had to pay for their own cherub establishuseet Tate was a far graver question than that of Mr. Dill emit the grant to him. Mr. REYNOLDS had determined to move the rejection of the you, on the ground that it was a violation of the voluntary principle by which every shank should be asp poted, of which he was an advocate. After a f-w words frt OS Mr. Amara., Mr. SAD LEHR said that it had only been since the sun Piglet of Mr. Dal had been prise-el on the government that they bed attended to the details of this grant to the preebyte piano ; before tnat it was entirely in the hands of this Duncan Chisholm. For years before 1847 Mr. DA' had furnished the same return, until exception was taken to it by this espri t:inns Me. Duncan Chisholm, and his salary had been paid under the defective return up to that time, while in the years since 1847 he had complied with the oenditioue, and re dived the grant. He should be glad if this grant was withdrawn, as it would unite the presbyterians with the Ro man catholic-, and render thim independent. Tois Dunne Cehholen who had amiconded from Inverness had obtained a most improper control over the Regina Demure, and had always been • favourite parliamentary witness of the govern ment 'rhea he had taken every opportunity of oppcsing him self to the preshy;erians of Ireland. Mr. HUME coped the hauls would not give entire weight to what had been stab d till they beard his statement. In 1847 an increase was proposed to the Regiom Donuts, end ha wished to know why, and moved for papers. Mr. Matthews was brought up as a witting to make explanations in relation to termite charities, and no one could hive done his duty better or given el answers. Of course be (Mr Hume) knew nothing of Mr. Chieslexan— (laughter)—or say other name. Constant efforts had been made to inures e the grant, at d he agreed that as an endow meat it was a bribe to a partimalar party, made them tools of the government, and it would be • blessing to Ireland it it we. removed, lie bad divided the house 1 times against any allowsaces to dissenters in this country, as well to the episcolialiens in Scotland, who received 1,0001 a year. If government would take his allele, they would abolish these grants altogether. He had a letter before him from James Morgan, the moderator of the assembly, to M-. Labouchi re, calling upon government, in come Tierce of the tenure of the potato crop, and many of the parishioners not being able to contribute towards their stipends, to Menage their allowance, and be was very much pleased with Mr. La bonchere's answer, deelinir g to accede to this. Mr. Matthews, in his report, stated that the ge 1 contribution of each presbyterian in Ireland, towards the support of their minister-, was 41 larthiegs, and no more. He did not think that the dissenters in Imbued had any claim upon govern ment ; and he should, therefore, support the amend- meat. Mr. BRIGHT said he wished to saggett a coons which speared to him more practicable than that of the right hon. member for Dublin. lie 'greed in all thst had been said as to the improper nature of this grant It seemed to him that it made the pees byterian ministers dependent upon government, end was likely to cause dimensions between them and their congregations. It was perhaps as objectionable a grant, and made in as objectionable a mode, as could be contrived. What he wanted to see was that they should be satisfied that the vote should go no further. At present the vote was in a state of unlimited expansion. Wherever twelve persona or more should subscribe 301., 251 of which only need come from the congregation, government were called upon to pay 751. more. He, therefore, asked the right hon. gentleman to withdraw hie motion, and to move that the vote be 329001 instead of 37,12001 Mr Bright concluded by making this motion himself. Mr. RIfYNOLDS said any recommendation coming from his hon. friend who had just addreiged the house would have weight with him ; but the advice he had given him on this occaeion was against hi. conviction, and he could not adopt it . Mr. S. CRAWFOIU) mid he had always opposed these grants to dissenters. He, at the same time, felt there would be great i %justice in withholding that portion of it which went to the support of the widows and orphans of the I old clergy who ware past duty. Mr BRIGHT inquired of the Chairman if his amendment would be put first The CHAIRMAN replied that it would. Mr 131110Ii1' said thee he should divide upon it. The committee then divided— For the amendment Against it lOB-63 Mr. REYNOLDS Pail he was anzious that all who op• posed the vote on principle should have an opportunity of recording their °pieties ; he would therefore press his amendment to a division.

Mr. REYNOLDS said be should divide on one item of this vote, the salary to the minis rr of St Matthew's Caine:, Ringeend, also the allowance to the clerk and sexton. He wished to have some information ate w►at chapel that was. Sir W. SOMERVILLE said he conceived the Ringsenn chapel must be well known to the hon. member. The endowment was an old one, having been drat made in the reign of Queen Anne; and the chapel wee attended by some of 'he troops stationed in Dublin. Mr. REYNOLDS said the explanation MIMI not satisfac tory. T►e locality alluded to was the Wapping of Dublin ; nearly all the population were Roman catholic., and there were several churches in the district. it was no recommen dation that the church or chapel bad been originally en.

Oa the next vote -2.3461. for the salaries sad incidental expense of the Cen tral Board of Health is Debits, Mr. HUMS complained that some of tits allowances were sir, exorbitant. The vote was spud 13,6511, salaries end expenses o! the R untainted Hetet. a Commission (Ireland). Mr. HUMS asked if there was say return of the number of estates that had been sold by the commission, and of the amounts they bed realised. Sir W. SOMERVILLE was aadenteod to say that such a return had been recently laid before the other house. Mr. HUME said as this court was dolor the duty of the Court of Chummy, as they were now paying 13,0001. for ditties which ought to be done by one of the constituted courts alb. country, he wished to know whether there was to be a propordeeete reduction in the earn% of the Court of Cbeneery. (Hear, hear.) Sir W. SOMERVILLE sold he believed the operation of the Enmesh( red Estates Act, instead of diminishiog, had materially increased the badness of the court of Chancery. Col. SIBTROUP moved that the vote be disallowed, Th.. gallery was clear. d for a div:sion, bat none took place, the lute having been agreed to. Os the vote of 141641. for the completion of the ambassa dor's resid-nr• at Constantinople, Mr. HUME said be was surprised to sse this vote as there was a etessinitbee then sitting which bad under their cowl deratioa the salaries of the diplomatic corps.

Th;CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIIIQUEICsaIiIat the plan contemplated a structure to be raised in four differ eat periods.

Then N. 3 and 4 were to follow, so that they made provision for the future as well as the present. The vote was then agreed to. Oa 8 0001. to complete the vote for the legal expenses connected with the Treasury. Mr. lIUME rid that the salary of the solicitor of the Treosury was 1,8501. ; but be wished to know whether there were any bills in addition. It was an economical practice to pay the solicitors by a fixed sum, but he wanted to guard the public against the system which had prevailed in the office of Woofs and Forests, where certain parties had re c. iced immense some as law charges for duties which ought to be performed by the solicitors. Mr. LEWIS said that the solicitor of the Treasury devoted his entire time to his office, and he received nothing but his salary. The vote was then agreed to. 3,5551. was voted to pay the expenses connected with the prosecti.ion of offenders against the laws relating to gold and silver coin. Mr. HUME remarked that It had ban proved before the committee that a large portion of these expenses had bees t . . " 7,1601. was voted to defray the expenses incurred by sheriffs, formerly paid from civil contingencies—also of the amount r quitted to make rod the deficiency in the fete in the office of the Queen's Remembrancer in the Exche quer, and to pay the salaries and ancient allowances to certa:n officers of the Court of Exchequer. Also cer:aia expenses of the Queen's Prison. 5,3301. for the salaries and expenses of the Commissioners of the Into'vest Debtors' Court, 44.3141. to defray law expenses in Scotland. 33,7611. for criminal pet:um:ions and other law charges in Ireland Col. DUNNE observed that on looking over the estimates it would be found that a sum of 700,0004 had been taken off the county rates of England and placed on the coniuli latei fund. It was impossible that Ireland could bear the weight of taxation now placed upon bre. Mr. C. LEWIS said that if a balance were struck between Ireland and England, It would be found that Irelat.d was by no means a loser. Mr. H. HERBERT stated that in the county which he represented (Kerry), there were 1,500 prisoners in the Rao!, which w s constructed tor 130. He had himself visited the gaol, and had seen lunatics and convicts placed tcgether without the smallest regard to claasificstion. Mr. SADLEIR hoped that the appeal which had been made to government would be attended to. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY said that the hon. gentleman the member for Kerry was right when ha said that the greatest endea vors bad been made to remedy the evil complained of. It must be remembered that within the last few years there had been a vast increase in the number of convicts sentenced for tran•portatien. Tho government, however, did all they could to provide for the removal of these convicts, and there were now two ships under orders to remove them. He was bound to thy that great improvements had taken place in gals as to their general regulations. After a few words from Mr. SADLIIII, Col CIIATTERTON asked if any of the convicts sen tenced to transportation were lactated in Carlisle Fort. Sir G. GREY said that there were none. Tce vote was then agreed to. Tne sum of 15,5001. was then voted to complete the sum necessary for the maintenance of the metropolitan police of Dublin. The sum of 90.0001. was then proposed for defraying cer lain charges originsllT paid out of the poor rates. In answer to Mr. V. SMITH, Sir G. GREY said that there was a bill in preparation for the purpose of rendering the scale of rases more uniform. Atter a few objections trona Mr.llussz and Sir J. TROT.. Lore to the enormous expense to which the country was subjected by the m•ide in which criminal prcaecutiocui were at present conthetpri, . . . . . Mr. AGLIUNBY Lreftested that the pleas of prisoners for first off aces should be taken bef o re two justices at open petty cessions, by which plan a saying would result in enamels' fees of some 41,0001 per annum. The vote was then agreed to. On the vote of 7,5501. to defray the expenses of inspection and superintendence of prisons, Sir J. TROLLOPE moved as an amendment "that the salaries of the three inspectors-7001. each—be omitted from the vote." He did cot propose to take away the chief in spector, but he would remove the inferiur ones. Sir G. GREY hoped the house would not coneent to the proposition just made. Great good had been derived from the appoiatment of these inspectors, originally sungested by the House of Lords, and sanctioned by that house. It was true that alma of the rep Ati contained much matter that had better been excluded. (Hear, hear.) After a few words from Sir I'. Eontrog, Col. SIBTIIOItP said hen saw a more jolly-looking set of fellows than convicts generally—far more so than the hardw,rking labourers. (Laughter.) He hoped the right boa &crawl for the Home Department would be prepared with additional prisons, in anticipation of the thed of vaga bonds that the Exposition would lot loos* on the metropolis. Hear, hear , ^ and laughter.) The police force were to be increased 2,000 ; and if the glass house should be built in Hyde-park, and the Exposition come off, additional prisons would be required for the vagabonds who, (mhos of law and religion, woulU be certain to pillage the metropolis. (Great laughter.) After a few words from Mr. DIEDER, Mr. HUME complained that no details were given of the various items of prison expenditure. Sir G. GREY said that a eoneiderable diminution had taken place in the expenses of Pentonville this year, and the subject was still under investigation. He expected that a report on the sub,ect would be laid on the table this day. Sir J. THOLLOPH said that the discussion had fully answered his object, sod therefore he should beg leave is withdraw his motion. After a few words iron Mr. H , the motion was withdrawn. Major BLACKALL eomplained of the mode in which inspectors wee. remunerated in Ireland, being yea by a elsseste of 201 on each county for each report. The vote was agreed •a. The neat vote waa 137,23 U. to complete the charge for go vernment prisons and convict establishments. Cal. DUNNS objected to the vote, and moved that the eotninktee report provress. Major BLACKALL suggested that a vote on amount should be taken. The vote wee agreed to. The next vote was 63,8491. for miOttenance of prisoners iu county gaols and lunatic asylums Lord NAAS complained that the charge for me;ntenance of prisoners in Ireland wee much greater than in England. Bir GREY explained that the difference was • charge oa the consolidated fund. 69.2301. for the transportation of convicts, and 100,1471. for convict establishments in the colonies. These votes were &grand to. Toe chairman then reported progress, and asked leave to sit again to morrow (Ibis day). GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (N 0.2) BILL. 'ibis bill was read a third ti•e, a now clause added, and the bill passed. CUARITABLR TRUSTS BILL. On the order 01 the day for the third reading of this bill, Mr. TURNER said that his objections to this bill not having been removed, be should feel it his duty to divide against the third reading. His principal objection to the bill was that it aid not routine iteelt to charities in which abuses tied been proved. la cases where investigations had taken place, abuses had been remedied, and litigation completely avoided. He strongly objected to the vesting clauses of the bill. It was proposed to vest the small charities in the mutes of the Court of Chancery, an arrangement which he coneidered highly o bjectionable. The ATTORNEY GENERAL defended the bill, con tending that it would net produce the disailventegeous results which the hon. and learned gentleman contended fur. Mr. GOULBURN said the present bill and a report of the commissioners us charitable trusts were befo e the house on the present occuien. It was remarkable that the com missioners did not say that they approved of the bill. The q %ration was important. There were 28.000 charities in England, 23,000 of which would come under the nperation 01 this measure, srd the only remedy it applied to jobbing in small trusts was seciond-haed justice and c unty court law. Ile contended that the county courtjudge was likely to be influenced by the county court clerk in giving his judgments, and that the bill would jeepardis he . thßisosae iastitutione of the country, because the ildue ali f ,ht :," 1 priate funds for education according to the principi t‘ „j ° :,'" Chinch of England to e.luestion according to other a ~ .;r : dearest principles.
