(Much laughter.) I have also myself bad a Z honour of meeting society under the roof of Lord Dort', and in so doing I did no more than the right hon. gentle man the member for Bucks and the right hon. gentleman the member for Cambridge—that is to say, mixing on fair and equal terms with agreeable society, and making them selves agreeable to those whom they met.

Mr. SCULLY said that as the country with which he was more immediately connected was not at present interested in the bill, he was in a position to form an impartial opinion of its merits. Besides, aa English members did not scruple to interfere with Irish business, he did not see why Irish members should not occasionally return the compliment ; especially as there was every probability of the measure being sooner or later extended to Ireland if it ever became law in England. The bill, they were told, was a measure of finance ; but it could not increase the revenue, except by increasing the consumption of intoxi cating liquors.

Prised Sala as application. c — annot - asmee with the righ gunman in, ail — think " , his somewhat sweeping and exaggerated view of the prime of this country. He says in • very serious part of hin epee& that the press was the fourth estate of the realm. I must remind the hon. gentleman that when he is of the sovereign and the two houses of parliament, speaking of the press of this country as the fourth estate of the realm is but the introduction into our debates of a slang expansion which is not true. (Hear.) The press is not the fourth estate of the realm, nor can it exercise any political responsibility. There is a responsibility which attaches to the newspaper press, and that is that it is amenable fortunately to the laws of the country. (Hen, hear.) But it is responsible to the public, and I cannot believe that newspapers which are conducted with a total stance of principle, employing themselves in the manner in which the nght boa. gentleman says this particular newspaper has employed itself, would possess that degree of confidence and pennons on the part of the public which it does. (Heiir, bear.) Newspapers must depend= public opinion, and there is no doubt the Tina newspaper has great weight in its criticisms of public men. But we must remember this, that if you have • free press, and if it be what I agree it is, a great blessing, you must not be too 'critical about what it says. (Hear, hear.) . The noble lord has very playfully reminded thi house that be has been subject in the coulee of his political life to considerable criticism. Well, it does not appear to have done the noble lord much harm physically—(laughter) —and as to the moral effect of such criticism, there are few public men who may not have profited by it. (Hear, bear.) I, too, have had my share of newspaper criticism, and it is as large • share as any public man ever had. I cannot pre tend to say that when it first began, which is now a long time time ago, it was not as disagreeable to me as it could be to anybody—( la ughter)—but I can truly say that as long •sa that public criticism is able and intelligent, : do not can what degree of general malignity may pervade it. (Hear.) Now I agree with the noble lord LO his view that on the whole it is very unn to ask this house to be the confidant of complaints wen we are subjected to any severe critkirma. If the prey of this country is to be • free press, it is not for us to criticise with too great promptitude or severity intellectual efforte, which, it must be reoected, are written under conditions of immense difficulty. (Hear, hear.) And we must also recollect that these enterprises are responsible to the general opinion of the countay, and that opinion cannot be enlisted in their favour, un less on the whole we find that, whether it be through their information, or their criticisms, or their general ini gence, they are found to be of great advantage to the com munity. (Hear, hear.) The motion for the adjournment of the house was then withdrawn, and the subject dropped. REFRESHMENT HOUSES AND WINE LICENSES ROUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY, MAY 7.

SAVOY. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. DLSRAELI asked what would be the course of busi ness to-morrow (this day). The noble lord had observed that although to-morrow was a notice day the house could come vary early to the orden of the day, which were all government bilk What he wished particularly to know we., whether it was intended to proceed with the bills in the order in which they were Placed on the paper, or wbe. titer thane would be any selection or preference.

Earl GRANVILLE, in reference to a notice of motion Zile= of Olanricarde, for copies of the further to the Prowl gararewesint relatkay la the CtiZof envoy the neutselity af whisk is reall by at powers, and to thine sanitised hi Lord J. RuseeMs second despatch to i i icy , on the 22nd of Yank, said it would not be in the power of her Ma isety's government to give the papen the noble marquis had given notice to move for, neither would it be be Meer power at preeent to give any information on the ambled. Under then eireumstances, he saggened to the bible lord the es of postponing his motion for the present. The Marquis of CLANBICARDE said he did not think it would be proper in him, after such a statement, to proceed with his motion. He hoped that before the government came to any decision about going into conference, which con ference, he apprehended, must recognise as an established feet the events which had taken plan in Savoy, parliament would have all the papers before them, and be able, if they thought it necessary, to pronounce an opinion on the ua lrLdh 'G AND HAWKING GOODS ON SUNDAY The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the details stood thus. Assuming that the statement of the right hon. gentleman was correct, that the house would arrive early at the orders of the day—those orders of which the government had charge and which did not relate to financial business, would be poet:paned in order to bring forward the financial measures. Therefore his right hon. friend would not go on with the adjourned debate on the City of London Corporation Bill. The next order, which was not a government bill, was a measure of great importance relating to the local management of the me . It was in the hands of the hon. member for Bath. As the bill contained several hun dred clauses, and had only been delivered that day, he took Glee granted that the hon. member mold not bring it on. (Haar, bear.) The next bill, the fourth order, was in the bands of government, and would not be brought for ward. The fifth bill was not in the hands of the government. It minis& to the subject of stock-jobbing, and was a sort of rival bill—(a laugh)—to the Sir John Barnard's Act Repeal Bill. He did not know what the in. action of the hon. and learned member for Guild ford (Hr. Bovill) might be, but it appeared to him that the course most convenient to the house, and what the government would endeavour to promote, would be, that the adjourned debate on the third reading of the Paper Duty Bill should be taken to-morrow night, provided they could come to it at an early hoar, that was to say by nine or ten o'clock. ptARLOW'S SW -ACTING SYPHON TAP.

VOLUNTEER '''TIGERS. __.6OPri(itr. Mr. BOW YER eked the Secretary of State for War whether a regulation had recently bees made that officers el volunteers were not to have their nulbary rank at court, and if so, whether her Majesty a gournmeut would noon saw the subject, sad allow to such offleers theft military 'mak at court. Mr.B.gEIIBERT had stated the other night, in answer to a similar question., that no such order had been promul. gated. He had since seen a report of a meeting at Liver pool, at which it misstated as a great cieveneethat idlloers of volunteer corps were not allowed to go to court in their uniform. He could give an usqualilled contradiction to that statement. Every one pressed at the hurt levee meat have noticed a coomiderable camber of volunteer alone pnwat in their uniform. THE ORDER OF THE BATH. Mr H. RTRACEY eked the fiecretar7 of State for War whether the Secretary of State for Ind* had not tent to him the names of certain °Mors of her Majesty'.

HERBERT mid that the names of officers in both the Queen's and the East India service had been received ; but the number of knights companions waa already ern *adorably in !MOM of the statute ; and on that soot alone they had not been gasetted. It would not be cornet to publish the woes of those officers before they had re ceived the order, which he hoped would be given them Wore long,. (Hear, bear.)

NORTHOCITE asked the Secretary of State for War whether say additional number of troops had keen 'cot to or *owl under orders for China beyond the number stated in this house by the Secretary of State for Ladle on the 24th day of February last ; what was the amesut of the addition, if any ; and whether it had been made by the deepatch of troops from India or from this country. Mao, what arrangement had been made for the wives and families of the troops deq;etched from 'lndia to China. And whether, in consequence of any addition that might have been made to the number of troops, it would he necessary Inc the government to apply to parliament in the preeent session for an additional vote of credit on ac count of the ('hinese expedition. Mr. S. HERBERT said that, in answer to the question of the hoe. baronet, he hal better restate first what was the amount of force mentioned by his right boo. friend the Se• cretary of State for India on the 21th of February last am being about to be despatched from India to China. There were fire regimasta of Zoropsaa infantry, sad probably two )bi: iiii. Mr. WALTER celled attention to a correspondence be tween Mr. Harman and himself, arising out of • charge made by Mr. Roseman, who had intimated his intention of bringing it before the home, that, in a speech made by Mr. Walter in the house on the previous Monday, he had used language which, taken in conjunction with an article in the Tines, conveyed an imputation upon the character of the house. Mr. Norman having, however, abandoned his in tention of inviting the attention of the house to the matter further correspo nd ence ensued, and Mr. Walter complain ed of Mr. Minnow having connected his speech with ar ticle in the Tints. He was, it was true, greatly interested in the prosperity of the notes, but be was in no way cos meted with it in an editorial capacity, and he warmly de preeMed the allusions made in that house to articles in newspaper, as derogatory to the dignity of parliament and jejunum to the tone and character of their debates. Mr. BOWMAN, after explaining the reasons which pre vented hint from bringing forward the subject on Thurs day, entered into • detailed statement reepecting the circumstances referred to. On entering the house on Nas daq last he was informed that • compromise bad been entered into with respect to the Reform Bill, on the basis of a M 1 franchise in counties, and Si. franchise in towns, and a condition that there should be no dissolution for two years. Thin last saggertion bad been made by Mr. Walter in his place, sad by the Times in a leading article, which article further contained a violent attack on himself. This was a promediug, in hie opinion, unworthy of &member of the legieLtuss,enil which he felt bound to bring before the notice of the House of Commons. He proceeded to comment at length on the connexion of Mr. Walter with the Tines, and reed letters from himself to Mr. Walter, containing lengthened attacks upon that journal, and noti cing, amongst other things, the personal attraction exer cised by Lord Palmerston over the editor and the anomalous position of Mr. Lows on the Treasury bench. He attacked the 'monied irresponsibility of the press ; admitting that it should be independent, but denying that it ought to be irresponsible. He proceeded to comment on Mr. 'Walter's position with regard to the Tines, and the secret agency which be employed in writing the articles of that journal. Mr. Bright, whom Mr. Walter had assailed for mooches made by him out of doors, had at least spoken openly, and on his own responsibility. Lord PALMERSTON said—l hope this discussion will end where ft now stands—(hear, beer)—and that it will not lead to say result greater than the muse from which it appears to have originated. I should not hare presented myself to the home were it not for the mention which my right hon. friendlies made of my name in connexion with Mr. Delano. In the first place my right hon. friend has recorded that fora certain period of time, now I am happy to say long gone by, I sustained very bitter attacks in the columns of the Tints. It is perfectly true that during a portion of my public life I was, in regard to the news paper press, one of the best abused men in England. I submitted with patience to those attacks—(hear amid laregliter);—l trusted that my public cooduct would be an Answer, sooner or later, to those attacks. (Hear.) It never oecurred to me to rise in my place in this bowie to complain of the attacks which were so bitterly made upon . me. (Hear, hear.) Whether my example in that respect ii one that should be followed, or whether those who have taken • different course acted more proppedy than I did, I cannot my. My right hon. friend had stated, in his letter, that be did not know whet the influences were which Mr. Delano, one of the editors or managers of the Tines, attributed to ins If by that he implies that arty wish or inflame of mine has been exercised over the line of conduct of the proprietors of the Times, I can only say with Mrs. Malaprop that I should be glad to plead to that soft im psechnieet—(bsughterr)—if such insinuations were redly founded on feet. If there are any influences which have led Mr. Deism to me they are the influences of society. (Hear, hoer.) My r a t hon. friend has himself Misted in his glowing address that the contributors to the press are the favourites and ornaments of every society into which they enter. He is perfectly right in that expres sion. They are 'morally men, as he states, of great information and great attainments, sod therefore they are men whose society must be agreeable to those with whom they associate. (Hear.) My connexion with Mr. Dams is of that character exactly. I have had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Delano frequently in society, and he has done me the honour of meeting society occasionally leader my roof. (ILear, bear.) Th at society is composed of per lm:ins of all politics (hear, beer)—and engaged in all pur suits. I feel very proud when persons come without under. taking any other engagement than that which Mr. Deis« does so well—e( always making themselves very warble. (Laughter.) I have hod the honour, and I esteem it such, Mr. AYRTON rose to move the following amendment:— " Thqt it is inexpedient to impose • new tax on houses for the see of unintozicatin refreshments • and to promote the consumption of intoxicating drink by giving increased facilities for retailing the same, and by diminishing the coating now exercised by justices of the peace over homes kept fee Mel purpose." lks le* eidesaellie measure was to bring under the supervisice of the excise by a system of licensing, all houses used for providing food or refreshment for the people—not leaving the law as it at present stood, but extending it for the first time to houses which sold unintoxicating drinks, and drinks of the most harmless character. The second object of the bill was that some of those houses, under certain wadi tams, were to obtain licensee from the excise for the sale of wine without first obtaining the sanction of justices of the peace as now by law they were bound to do. The third object of the bill was to diminish the duty paid by wholesale dealers in wine. The grounds u which his oppositie, to this measure rested were totally different to those which were so pertinaciously attributed to him, not within that house, but without its walls. No one who knew him would imagine that he objected to this measure in the interest of any clue of publicans, for he had long taken an active part in the efforts made by others to repress intemperance within the borough which he rispromisted. The first thing they bad to consider was, that this measure proposed to place . a tax upon those who were engaged in preparing food for the people ; and he could not but express his astonish. meat that after all the efforts which had been made for years past in the direction of cheapening the food of the people, they should.now have to discuss for the fast time the teemsupon which the sale of food was to he selected pe a special object to contribute to the funds of the Exche quer. He also objected to the measure exempting all the small towns and country districts from the operation of the proposed bill. He further objected to the imposition of this tax, on the ground that it appeared to him if they were to begin • system of levying taxes upon shops they must be prepared to levy it upon • principle of strict justice, and must make it a graduated tax, so as to m ake it equal upon every shopkeeper, as far as they had the means of fixing that opulity. As to the proposal of facilitating the sale of wine by granting licenses to all persons styling themselves putrycooks or dining-house keepers, that appeared to him to be the most important brunch of the question ; sad he hoped the house would not entertain that question—a question of each great importune--without being satialled thatit would really con tribute to those objects for which it was said to have been introduosd. He Doted the right hon.Sl m em o s: would abide by the statement he had made to • , thatbe regarded the question as one of morality, than by that which he made in proposing the second reading of the bill, namely, that he regarded the measure as necessary in a financial point of view, and that he expected hon. members who supported his general scheme of anomie to support the bill. He trusted that the right hon. gentleman was pre pared to allow the question to be discussed and decided purely upon its intrinsic merits as a question of morality, and wholly apart from any question of finance. The sale of intoxicating liquors was not in it self • crime, but its regulation should always be kept under the strong hand of the law, and therefore be homed that the right hon. gentleman w ould not permit himself to act under the delusion that by decreasing the facilities for intemperance he was fostering the sobriety of the country. Mr. LIDDELL objected to this bill, because he consi dered it to have been especially constructed for the ennui. raiment of drinking. Mr. BALOMONS supported the second reading. The bill contained many errors, and rather than that it should pass in its present shape, he would vote against the second reading ; but he believed it was capable of amendment in committee. So far as the bill provided facilities for the sale of wine to those who wanted it, it was a good measure. In the City of London atheist every pastry cook who desired a license from the magistrates could get one ; the only condition imposed being an ho nourable understanding that he would not open on Sundays, nor after eight o'clock at night on other days, nor convert his house into a gin-shop. Yet in no part of England did so much sobriety and good order prevail as in the City of London. The most objectionable part of the hill was that rendering it necessary for every house for the sale of re freshments to have a license. (Hear, hear.) It certainly senned monstrous to require a baker, who sold a few buns or biscuits over his counter, to take out a license, and he could not help looking upon such a provision as an interfer ence with the freedom of trade. (Hear, hear.) He was for limiting rather than extending the hours in the evening to which these new refreshment houses might keep open, and ho would fix it at nine in winter and ten in summer. But with regard to placing them under the supervision of the police, he would ask boa. members how they would like, while they MOD regaling themselves at Gunter's, in Belgr avia, or Farnham* in Spring.prdens, to see a policeman come in. (Hear, hear.) Believing, however, that the bill ight in committee be made sot only unobjectionable but pop u lar, he should rote for the second reading. Mr. PALE said that the right hon. gentleman would ex tinh all the good we had tone by establishing free trade in drunkenness. To make his scheme good he must erect foreign intemperance upon intemperance at home. His OIL panic) experience was, that the greater facilities they (Laughter.) The hon. member (Alderman Salomon) had complained of the grievance it would be to hon. gen tlemen if, while they were taking their refreshments at Ounter's or Farrance's, the shop =slit be visited by • po liceman. But if shop with wine licenses were not liable to inspection, what • set of bear-gardens they might be come. They would soon be little better than what was called in Ireland shebeens. (Laughter.) It had been pointed out that any retail trader might obtain a wine license. There wee really no reason in the world why there should not be • decanter on every counter at Shaolbred's. (Laughter. ) a tie be Matilb"lir cue fi m i ft gave b ilie powerto grant wadi:etas for wine licenses, which, would not necessarily involve any right to demand • spirit license. (Hear, hear.) The bill might also with ad vantage be made to follow the spirit of the beer bill—he said the spirit, because be admitted that while that was ex. eellent, the practice was as bad as possible. The idea of the beer bill was to give the working man an opportunity of ob taining his beer close at hand, and to take it to his house and drink it there. In like manner it might be as excellent arrangement to permit wine to be bought in bottles of shop keepers and to be consumed at home. (Hear, bear.) He hoped the bill would be withdrawn, or at least much modified. (Hear, hear.) Mr. JAMB would not be influenced by the organisation which had been alluded to for the purpoee of enforcing tem perance : for he could not help thinking there was a good deal of hypocrisy about that movement. (Hear, hear.) He would state to the house very shortly the grounds upon which he opposed this bill. It seemed to him to be ex tremely unjust and unfair to persons who had invested a large capita, not in a monopoly of their own creation, but upon restrictions placed by the legislature upon them. By the common law of this land every person was at liberty to open an ale-house, • beer-house, or • public-house in the same way as he could set up • linendraper's shop. But, inasmuch as the normal condition of public-houses was that, customer* were led to eat as much as possible, to drink as much as possible, and perhaps sometimes to get as intoxicated as possible, the legislature had Inter fered by various acts of parliament to put restric tions upon these houses, and bring them under the supervision of the magistrates. Hence the restriction that they were not to be opened without • license ; those who kept them were not to allow gaming, or to permit bad cha racters to ensemble in their houses. They had person, billeted on them, they were placed under the control of the magistracy. What wee the effect of all this? It was all very well for aldermen—for the hon. alderman (Salo mon') himself—to say it was a very bard case that • gentle man and lady could not go into a pastry cook's shop and have • glass of claret with their biscuit ; admitted it was—but he could tell the worthy alderman that the pestrycooks and bis cuit bakers would never avail themselves of the measure, if it placed their shops under the surveillance of the police (Hear, hear.) But this bill made every magistrate an in quisitor and every policeman • spy. (Hear.) The effect of the bill would be, that every beerhouae would take out • re freshment license, and then a wine license, and then it would become a public-house to all intents and purposes. (Hear.) It was well known that, as regards beershops, Sir R. Mayne had given evidence to the effect that the control of the magistrates over the licensed beerhouses and the houses of the licensed victuallers tended to the greatest order. The honourable member for Dor setahire, who was opposed to the present system, told the house of the scenes of drunkenness and pro fli gacy which he had witnessed in the Haymarket ; but the description given by the deputation which waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer on this subject showed that it was in the unlicensed coffee-houses and the fish-shops, and not in the licensed victualling houses, that the worst scenes of prolli pcy took place. When the hon. member in future wan dered through the Haymarket in his nocturnal perambu lations frees that knee, he (Mr. James) wondered what his arpailease wee* her of the new wins-abees. (A laugh.) Then • great deal had been said about the Excise ; but the Excise cared nothing about the morals of the people—all they oared about was the revenue. It was now said that wine BOOMS could not exist without spirit licenses ; for when wine licenses were given singly, the revenue was defrauded by their selling spirits as well as wine. He (Mr. James) was no advocate of the present system of licensing—(hear, bear)—he thought it was very much abused, and that there was • great deal of gross jobbery about it—(hear, bear)—bat let them deal with these subject. fairly. The licensed victuallers had expended • larre sum upon this monopoly ; and he certainly thought these mattes had been fully explained to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The deputation consisted of very intelli gent persons, and was headed by a gentleman, whose very name of Homer should have been sufficient to enlist the sympathies of the right hon. gentleman with his classical associations ; especially as Horace had told us that Homer was himself addicted to the nee of wine— Laudibas arguitur vini •inosus Homer's. (A laugh.) He thought the measure was unfair and unjust to a most important branch of trade, and he should there fore oppose the measure. Mr. VILLIERd observed that Mr. James hail taken a straightforward course. He had appeared as the advocate of the licensed victuallers. A committee of that house had reported that the system of licenses was faulty, that it af forded no real security to the community. The present bill provided securities and gave larger scope to the vigilance of the police, as recommended by the committee, wherein those who opposed the bill argued that it relaxed some of the existing restrictions. In their invectives against drunkenness they overlooked the amount of wine drunk in public houses, and were alarmed at small potations being permitted in eating-houses. He described the mode in which licenses were now given by magistrates, which, he obsened,nad nothing to do w:th police er good order. While the bill would supply • great oonvenieuce—a want that was almost • necessity—he believed it would provide the strongest seenritiesmninst disorder and abuse. Mr. HENLEY remarked that, so far from this bill carrying out the recommendations of the committee to which Mr. Villien referred, every part of it wan ift contradiction to and in conflict with them, and he pointed out some of these contradictions. If there was one point strongly established before the com mittee, he said it was that the having two kinds of houses was in effect a competition to tempt people to do whatthey ought nett° do,and this bill was going to setup • third, in the very teeth of the recommendations of the committee. Mr. Henley examined the securities provided by the bill, condemning the manner in which it dealt with the magistrates, and the perpetual blister of the police. His objections went, he mid, to the whole framework of the bill, which it was almost impossible to alter in coin. mitten. Mr. C. BUXTON felt reluctantly compelled to ° the bill, and that principally upon • ground which in his case might appear almost hypercritical, vas., that it would extend the vice of drunkenness. If it would merely tend to increase the consumption of cheap and light wines every rational man would support it ; but he believed it would tend to increase the consumption of spirits, which would be introduced in largo proportion in much of the wine sold at theseplaces, and consumed in that and other t o .. R e thought, too, the bill would tend to demoralise the police, who would be bribed by the landlords of these houses with drink, and they would then acquire a habit of tippling. He objected also that the bill was without suffi cient precautions to prevent the abuse of Vie facilities it gave. They ought not to forget the warning given in the case of the beer bill, which had brought misery and ruin upon the working chimes, in consequence of the free trade in beer which it established, and which was nu doubt right in itself, but was unaccompanied with sufficient precaution. He recommended an alteration in the licensing system. Ho thought it improper that the magistrates should have the power of fixing the number of licensed houses in any district, and thus creating a monopoly. He would suggest that the excise license should be sufficient to entitle any house to sell beer, spirits, and liquors up to eleven o'clock, but that houses keeping open after that hour should be compelled to take out a spe cial license. That such license should bring the house under the superintendence of the magistrates and reader it liable to be visited by an inspector of public. houses, who should make periodical reports. He would have every precaution taken as to the respectability of the parties keeping the houses, and the proper conduct of them, but he would not give the magistrates the power of cresting a monopoly, and the renewal of licenses would be se • mat ter of course when there was no complaint apawat the house. He thought they should bring an a bill founded upon sounder principles, which rectal give a permanent blow to that monster vice which inflicted so much misery on the po ' pulation of this country. (Cries of "Divide.") He was persuaded the licensing system did not give to the Loudon brewers, whatever it might do for others, any advantage at 'IL
