Mit MONEY MARKET Air D COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Daring the last few days the transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not been extensive, and prices in most instances have slightly receded. Tea, however, has been at steady quotations. For the finer qualities of sugar there was a fair inquiry, at a decline of about 6d. per cwt. ; other descriptions were inactive. Coffee filet a moderate sale at about previous values. Rico has elhibited considerable activity, and the better sorts have improved 33. per cwt. Saltpetre has been firm, and tallow dull. P.Y.C. on the spot is now quoted 51s. ; July to Sept(mber, 60s. 6d. ; and last three months, 50s. 3d. per cwt. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday exhibited a very firm appear ance, and prices of all descriptions were fully main tained. The sales amounted to 10,000 bale, 2,0G0 of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by exporters. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and quotations were unaltered. The large withdrawal of gold from the Bank of England yesterday, viz., 120,0001., has caused some remark in financial awl speculative circles, and there can be no doubt that further amounts will be shortly exported to France, not on account of silver purchases but in liquidation of commercial balances. The Australian supplies will probably furnish the greater part of what is required, and as the American exchange is turning in our favour, and remittances are likely to be resumed, the stock of bullion at the national establishment may not experience any great diminution. During the last few days large quantities of gold coin have been received from the provinces, and the Scotch banks, it is understcod, have been forwarding a large number of sovereigns. The next Bank re turn is not likely to show a very unfavourable movement in the bullion ; on the contrary, many anticipate a slight augmentation. Silver has been rather more in demand during the last few days, owing to the preparations for the consignments by the Pera. There was a meeting of the London Dock Com pany to-day—Mr. John Cattley in the chair. It appeared from tho report that the business of the last half year had been favourable, and left a balance of 4,0001. more in favour of the company than on the last occasion. The total balance in favour of the company was 240,0291. A dividend of 21. 10s. pEr cent, for the half year was declared. In reply to a shareholder, the secretary said that the com pany was fully ensured for the loss that had occurred through the late fire. The report was adopted. There is no improvement in the English Stock Market, . business being dull and the quotations heavy. Attention is chiefly directed to the pre paratory arrangements connected with the ap proaching Tquiclation. Consols are about per cent, lower, but the market being in such a languid state, a few operations either way produce an im pression. The quotation have been 95 f, but there is now rather more firmness, Consuls being 9 51 -1.

[ADYEILTISEMENT.]—THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE,._ It is only a sh or t ti me s i nce thi s s ingularly efficaciou s article of animal died, first made its appearance ; and already its celeb r i ty i s wor ld -a id e. It has been a sub ject of wonder, and bas puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been btouoht about. Yet alien we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will ceaFe. A few days a gentleman, wrote, •Itating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Ho then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was won derful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks, had gained no less than 12 stones. Again sve find at the late agricultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., tile animals which carried off the highest Prizes, had been partly fed with Therlev's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and v e are forced to the conclusion, that its celebrity arises solely from its onwu intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it saa proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in bones and cattle will do well to apply to 77, .Newgate• treet, Lontioy, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. MfilliSATS - (This Day). RAILWAYS. ghr. iPaid RAILWAY'S.

The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to—Cornwall Railway, London and South-Western Railway, Mersey Aids and Hat.- hour (Consolidation of Act.), Mersey Docks and Har bour (New Works), Halifax Park and Improvements. The Great Southern of India Railway Company Bi►l and the Warrington and Stockport Railway (Capital) Bill were read a third time and passed. The Holroyd Estate Bill wag read a second time. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL (No. 2). • The house went into committee on this bill, iesuming at chime 13. . Mr. COLLIER moved as an amendment that the members of the council should' have 5001. a year sash instead of 1,2001., as propo ed in the bill. The council would have great patronage, and with such men as those who would compose the council a desiro to serve their friends would be a greater inducement than mere salary. Lord STANLEY opposed the amendment. He thought 1,2001. a year was not too much for men who would have to pass the greater part of their time in London. He took that opportunity of stating that he intended inserting a proviso to the effect that no member of the council should be entitled to a pension who had net served ten year. Mr. GREGSON did not think the whole time of the members of the council would be reqaired. They would only have to attend the board once a week, anci he thought 5001. a year would be sufficient. For that and the patronage attached to the office, he thought efficient men would be found. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. said tLat, although the members of the council would have to meet once a week iu a council, a daily attendance of many hours would be required of them in addition. There were many men who were not habitually resident in London, who would be very efficient members of the council, and their compulsory residence would entail upon them great - cscpense. Mr. V. SMITH. said if first-rate men were to be ap pointed members of the council, 1,2001. or ev. u 2.000/. a year would n t he too large a sum for them, as , i , ey would be equal to privy councillora and Inca holding high office in the State. Bu-. ye did not think that would be the coodit:on of the council. The Directors of the East India Company were in possession of 5001. a year with patronage ; and he nevzr heard that those gentlemen complained of the inadequacy of their salaries. If the East India Directors elected -four 6f the gentlemen already Directors who would not attend more than once a week from their other pursuits, 5001 a year would be enough for them ; while for the nominees of the Crown he admitted 1,2001. a year would - not be too much. Lord STANLEY thought two scalcs of salary objec tionable. It was not the intention of the bill to rind the persons appointe.i , on the council to give up the whole of their time and to abandon every other support; but it would be expected of them that thdy sbcnld give up as much time as the performance of the duties would require._ • . Mr. LOWE paid the only difficulty the committee was in was that they were called upnu to assaess the salary for duties on the nature of which they had no in formation. If the duties were to be those of the Court of Directors be thought 5001. a-par would be sufficient, but if the duties were to be those of a permanent secretary in a pu; lie office be considered that 1,200/. a-year wonid be by no means exorbitant. He deplored the reckless manner in which mo•.ey was squandered away in that house—money that would spread education over whole districts and miiigate the horrors •of a perverse religion, and all this to be wrung out of the sweat and blood of a miserably oppressed people. (Hear, hear.) Colonel SYKES (Director) spoke of the vast amount of business the Directors of the East India Company hail to discharge. He considered 8001 or 1,0001. a year would be sufficient, and that it should be considered an honorarium Mr. M. MILNES considered 1.2001. a year not too much for the members of the council. Mr. WHITE thought the work would be as well done by men at 5001 a year as at 1,2001 a year. Mr. WILLI -e MS considered 5001. a year salary suf ficient, especially as the patronage was valued in 1853 as worth 6,0001. a-year. (Oh, Oh !) The finances of India were in that embarrassed state that, if they con tinued this profligate system of expenditure, the re sources of Eeglancl would be called upon to meet and they would nave to tax the people of England to make up the deficiency of India. Loed JOHN RUSSELL considered the decision of the committee, giving patronage to the council, and de priving them been seats in that house, bad ereatly in creased the difficulties of the subject. If the o pi nion o f the hot. member for Lambeth was correct in reference to the patronage, be (Lord J. Rovsell) feared it would result iejoriouely to India, Or the whole, he thought 1,2001. a-year was not too much if they were to have the best men, and guard against the misapplication of the patronage. Sir J GRAHAM said, that the bill and the amend meutie coupled with the statements of .the members of her Majesty's Government, he presumed the council would have daily duties to dieclearge. (Hear.) It ep- Peered to him that it was the intPnt . t, ..1 tier der 01a j- etv's Goerrr nicht to ui,.ioe the work into coininittees eeej.‘t to the direction of the Pretideut of the Council. The impression on the minds of bon. members with re. ference to the bill was that if elected to the aPtivoil t , :ev must devote their 4 hole time to the detieCiatheii office, and he had been informed by Captain Soeppard, at pre sent a director, chairman of the fludson'e c orer ,„„ 3 , and deputy chairman of the Trinity 11 .ard, that if he were elected a tnemberof the council he should consider himself bound to resign those two offices. (Hoar. hear ) He bad no desire to spend one rupee more than was neces sary, to advance the happiness of the people of India, and he thought nothing would conduce more towards the attainment of that object than by having a well constituted Government in this country. On the whole, he considered the sum named in the bill not too much for the members of the council, understanding that the devotion of time meant such reasonable attend ance as the President of the Council might require, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not desirable to introduce into the bill words rigidly preventing the members of the council from per forming other duties, but to leave it to the President of the Council to define their duties and attendance, ac cording to the necessities of the Cr;Se. The disposal of their tima.to the duties of the office would not preclude the members of the council from attending to other duties. It would, however, be a matter of election, whether gentlemen would place their timeat the disposal of the office, or adhere to their counting-houses duties in a rigid manner. He thought, however, the members of the council, although called on to place their time at the disposal cf their offices, would permit them to maintain, in . a modified form, their relation with the pursuits that bad heretofore entirely absorbed their lives. He considered a celery of 1,200/. a-year by no means too much. The subject was a very difficult one. They had heard many sums men tioned, and the hon. member for Aberdeen bad said that whilst 8001. a-year would he an honorarium, 1,2001, a-year would be an insult. (Hear, bear, and laughter,) He considered the members of the council ought not to be paid less than the Lords of the Treasury. (Divide.) Sir G. C. LEWIS considered the difficulty of fixing the amount of salary arose from the large number of councillors, Ile supported the sum named by the Go vernment in the bill, but suggested a modification of the clause, to the effect that the sum should not exceed 12001., which would enable the Government at any future time to adapt the salary to the actrial duties hereafter to be discharged by the members of the council. Lord STANLEY said it was better to fix the sum, and if it was found hereafter there was a diminution of duties, he thought it would be better for the Govern ment of the day to come to Parliament for a bill to re duce the members of the council rather than provide in the bill for a reduction of salary. Alter some far her conversation, Mr. COLLIER tx pressed his wish to withdraw his amendment, but it was objected to by the committee. [LENT SITTING.] BRIDGE OE.ALLAN.—Tbe visitors at tide favoiirite watering place are still very numerous, and, up to this period the season has proved to'hti the most lucrative one that the hotel and lodging-house keepers.have enjoyed. Tnis may be in a great tneaeur d attributed to the facilities afforded by the Scottish Central Railway, and the low rates charged by them to induce parties to visit it. SANATORY CONDITION 01? PRINTIN G OFFICES,— Amongst those trades and proteasi ,, us opposed to the duration cf life which are foil.iwed in the metropolis by large numbers of persona, few are more' fatal than that of the compositor and printer. The number of deaths from consumption amongst there ie very large. Thote who have visited some of the London printing-officea, which Lava bean adapted for this purpose from old fashioned dwelling-houses, will not for a moment doubt that the deaths and loss of health are to be attributed to the condition of the atmosphere , produced by over crowding the space, and setting at defiance all sanatory princip!es. Nor are the editors And correctors of the press in many cases better accommodated. Men well aware of the danger are shut into closets, partitioned off from the ill-ventilated space, and little larger than full-sized coffins l Sketches of some of these literary dens, in which are accommodated men who are earnestly working to elevate the taste and improve the conditi,in of the community, would astonish many readers. Changes for the better have either been maile or are in progress in various quarters. Much, however, that is bad remains to be altered ; and taking the whole of the sanatory arrangements that have been provided for those engaged in the printing profession in a eerie, there remain de fects sufficient to account as clearly for the loss of life in printing-offices as in the barracks of the metropolis.— The Builder. THE HIGHLANDERS AT LUCKNOW. — The natives of the town remark the difference between the Highlanders and the other soldiers, and there were no end of queries as to when the " ghayra" or gownmen were going back. The dress was a perfect curiosity among the natives, and it was ridiculous to see the crowds of them always about the guardroom, and the intimacy that existed between them and the solciers. It ra3 a common thing to see a great stalwart Highlander asleep on a couch. and a couple of black boys, cf their own accord, fanning him and keeping the flies off, nor were they ever in want of any thing, for these little urchins would fly off like so many pilot-fish, and bring them back oranges, sweetmeats, &e..—Z:tfer Inveriten Courier. SECOND REPOICP ON THE IiVLAND REVENUE. A second report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue to the Lords of the Treasury contains some interesting information on the Excise duties and •the direct taxes; The gross receipts for Ex cise duties in the year 1857-58 amounted to 18,495,8881., against 19,758,4601. in 1856-57. Of this income, 9,280,9631. accrued from spirits, 5,492,0061. from the tax on malt, 489,0081. from the duty on hops (of which so little is said to be used by those who brew for our " thirsty souls"), 1,244,723/. from paper, 80,153/. from hackney car riages and cabs, 118,588/. from stage carriages, 348,6111. from I,Swaye, 1,425,1121. from licenses, 11,5001. from 4g,etne certificates in Ireland, and 5,224/. from racehorses. At; large increase in the spirit duty is reporte rto •be entirely the result of augmented consumption,'and this in spite of the speeches of temperance orators and. the Maine Liquor Law agitation. The export of British spirits to France has seriously declincd since the la t re port, " the r eason why" being the alteration made in the French laws last August, sanctioning the use of grain in distilleries, and imposing a duty on imported. epirits.. Iu the year ended- 31st March last, 3,524,865 gallons of spirits were exported, against 5,717,529 gallons the year before •, the ex ports to France were respectively 1,582,148 gallons (1857-58), and 3,730,1G1 gallons (1856 57). The vast revenue from spirits is collected with bo much ease and regularity as compared with the laborious process by which the more direct taxes are levied,- as to form a strong inducement to Chancellors of the Excln quer in, esse and,in posse to retain a firm grasp of this. fruitful source of income. Certain beet-root distilleries, sanctioned as experimental mstitu'ions by the roard, have failed entirely to produce a saleable spirit, or spirit of kind suffi cient to defray the working expenses ; the failure is regarded as absolute and decisive. Illicit distil lation is decreasing in Scotland sod Ireland. 257,619 gallons of " methylated" spirits were ma nufactured in 1857-58, and there is no risk to the revenue likely to arise oy reieerni of the separstion of the naphtha from he alcohol by any chymicel process. 41,164,258 bushels of male were charged 'with duty in the year 1857-58. Extensive frauds by some maltsters named Allen, it Worthing, and at other places in Sussex, effected Ly the use of concealed malthouees, were detected and punished by fines and seizures ameurning to 18,3831. 475,146 brls. beer were eipOrted,'"against 423,180 in the previous year. The duty on the crop of hops for 1857, which would become payable in May and November of this year, was 417,526/. The price of hops has been brought down by three consecutive years of large produce, so that there will be no ex cuse of any kind for the substitution: by our brewers of medical "'bitters" for the genuine article—a practice by more that one "thirsty soul" suspected and complained of. The Board deny that our fiscal regulations press unduly on the manufacture of paper, and adduce reasons for their denial. The endeavour of the Commissioners to check the surreptitious mixture of coffee with chicory has been partially successful, but the pull° would do well always to buy their coffee unground. The adulteration of tobacco still continues, especially in Ireland ; the samples seized contained sugar, alum, tar, and molasses. chicory leaves, dried rhubarb leaves, oil and lampblack (used as colouring ma terials), and liquorice. The popular " cabbage-, leaf" theory is not supported by the analysis of the adulterated tobacco. Snuff was found to be mixed with common salt and sand, orris -root, tonquin, ferruginous earths, chalk, coloured with per oxide of irore fustic, oatmeal (roasted and " torrefied"), and the bichromate of potash. The adulteration of snuff appears to be exclusively practised in Ireland and Sc Aland Th© capacity of tebacco to absorb water is a quality on which the profits of the frau dulent manufacture mainly depend. The evils of at tempting to limit the number of beer and sprit licenses are forcibly exposed by the Board, and it is shown that compulsory legal enactments to pro mote "temperance" have miserable and wofully failed, especially in Scotland. The people will tip ple, and rf shut out of regularly licensed houses will seek their favourite stimulus in unlicensed grog shops and by-places. The stamp duties yielded 7,684,3311., and the probate and legacy duties 3,135,3351. The land and assesed taxes yielded 3,155,7161., but:the system of assessment and eollee tion by means of parochial officera is very faulty, and must be " taken into consideration" by the Trea sury without delay. It would appear that the col lectors are most untrustworthy persons, for a year seldom elapses without some flagrant case of fraud or defalcation. 'TO game duty, ie; is suggested, should be made a 'stamp deity. The gross receipt of the income-tax in 1857-58 was 11,767,308., against 16,384,4941. in 1856-57 ; the e ;toe ,LtO falling-r ff is obvious. Apari; irsin the other unmet oes osjestrons to this obnoxious impost, it is re ported that the labour which it entails on the office, the great variety and complexity of the questions daily mooted, and the painful appears made to the' corn pes,io e and forbearance of the Clominissioners, are abno-t ineredib'e. To g're sonic idea-250,000 c'aimse" f exemptiou from tide hated incoins-tax are annually disposed of in the office. The report is dated the 12th of May, 1858. ACCIDEA2',S ON BJILROADS. The following is the report of the select commit tee appointed to inquire into the causes of acci dents on railways, and into the possibility of removing any such causes by further leghlation:— " That your committee has heard much evidence upon the subject matter of inquiry brought before it ; that the evidence has been chiefly given by offi cers of the Board of Trade, by eminent engineers, and by directors and other officials of railway companies ; that it appears to your committee from that evidence, that the causes of accidents on railways may be classified under the three following heads :—lnattention of servants, de fective material (either in the works or rolling stock), excessive speed ; that it appears to your committee that the strict personal supervision which alone can check the careltesnese of the wen employed on the lines, and detect the insufficiency of the material used on them, can best be obtained by the attention of the companies themselves, and that the very serious losses they incur by any acci dent ought to render it sufficiently their interest 'to pay minute attention to these points ; but cases having occurred when these questions have been neglected by railway cnmpaniea. your committee is of opinion that the Board of Trade should be in vested with the fullest rowers to investigate and report to Parliament upon any accidents wbich may occur on railways • that your committee is of opinion that a rate of speed-considerably in excess ' of what is considered safe, in the opinionuf the great majority of the witnesses examined, is sometimes attained on many of the lines ; that the evi dence taken further tends to show that such ex cessive speed has arisen, not so much from the speed required as advertised by the railway time tables, as from the want of s'ricc punctuality in the time of the departure and arrival of trains from etch station, which leads to an excess of speed for the purpose of endeavouring to make up time lost. That your committee, impressed with the many difficulties and complications connected with this part of the subject, and also with the inex pediency of relieving railway companies from the responsibility which now devolves on them, is not prepared to recommend any direct legisla tive interference by the house upon the question of the extreme speed at which railway trains may be permitted to travel. But your committee is of opinion that the perfect regularity in the time of the departure float and arrival at each station by the trains, which would appear to be a material .element of safety in railway travelling, may be attained by legislative interference, to the ex tent of enacting that, except under exceptional circumstances, the public should have some means of obtaining prompt and cheap re dress in the recovery of penalties in every case of want of punctuality in the departure and arrival of trains at every station,,thereby rendering it imperative upon railway companies not to adver tise a. rate of travelling which they cannot always maintain with undeviating punctuality ; that your committee is of opinion that it should be made imperative on railway companies to advertise a sufficient time beforehand the exact hour of c l,- parture and arrival of trains at each station ; that your committee is also of opinion that it should be imperative on every railway Company to esta blish a means of communication between guards and engine-drivers ; that yohr committee has received much evidence with reference to the advisability of enforcing a system of telegraphic communication, and the utility of enacting that trains should not be despatched without having ascertained by such connnunication that the line was c'ear ; that your committee is not prepared to define the distance at which such tele graphic stations should be placed, but it is of opinion that a recourse to this systeni would be a most effective means for the prevention of railway accidents, the largest proportion of which arise from collisions ; that, with respect to day and night signals, breaks, and other precautions, your committee is of opinion, from the . evidence which it has heard, that such details are better left to the management of the railway boards; that your committee is•therefore of opinion that it is incumbent on the Board of Trade to apply to Parliament for such further powers as may enable that department to carry out the above recommendations, which, in the opinion of your committee, would tend greatly to diminish the cumber of railway accidents." no report is dated June 20.

The debate on the -Earl ',f Donoughmore's motion, that tae First Commissioner of Public Works have leave to appear by counsel against the bill before the select committee on the said bill, was resumed by The LORD CHANCELLOR, who said that since their lordehipe' last meztieg he had looked into the question, an'i had to the conclusion that there was no necessity for obtaining the consent of the Crown to the farther progress of this bill. The Cnief Commissioner of Works stood, in teference to this case, in the place of the Crown. as the protector of the public, and be was perfectly justified, under a change of circums antes (after having given his consent to the scheme), to interpose for the benefit of the. His coulee was to present a petition to he heard by counsel before the committee, and as by the etearling orders he was now prevented from doing so, he (toe Lord Chancellor) moved the suspension of the standing order, that the nr,t Cuutnissiener might be able to appear by coupsel beton: the Committee, and be heard ,upon the bill. Lcrd CE.ANWORTA said the circumstance of a change of Goverctuent, and a mange of Commissioner in consequence, was Lot a suilici-nt reas-Jn f..r their lordships z:gteeing to tile inoti:m. The nrcuinstaucts of the case were the same n :w as they acre eight m-mits ago, c.vhet, tite late a ininis:ioner gave his assent to the plan, and their lordships ought not to woke a change of Government a precedent for reopening a ques tints Lhat bad !mg been settled. Lord STANLEY of ALIDERLEY read a letter from Sir B. Hall, in rep:y to statemeLt.4 made by noble tonfs oa a former occasion, stating that he had not seen the bill aed plans before he gave his assent to the bill. Sir B. Hall, ie kis letter, denied that statement. The 1`,./ALIIESBURY, in explanation, said he ba;i se, t lettvr from Sir B. Hall, in which he stated he had not seen the plans before ho gave his assent to the bill. fitter some further concer,ation the motion was with drawn, Lord DONOUGHILoRIC giving notice that he should to-morrow move Lod 6aspeuaion of the vtancing order above referred to. THE OATHS BILL. The Bad of DERBY said,—Before my nob'e and learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst) :ism to move the second reading of the bill of which he has given notice, perhaps your lordships will allow me, though not strictly in order, to say a few words upon the position in which the house stands with regard to the three bills which.ate to-night to bUconsidered. Bat before I do so I feel it my duty in a single sentence to express to your lord ships, and more especially to noble lords opposite, my grateful thanks for the forbearance, and courtesy with which they have submitted to my very involuntary ab sence, in consequence of an illness, from which I am now only imperfectly recovered,. (near, hear.) I mu i 4 also express my hope that no material public inconven ience has Arisen or will arise from the postpouetnent until I should be attic to attend of eoene diecussione front which I should be very sorry to be absent. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the question which is about to be brought under your lordships' notice, a bill passed through the House of Commons, and was submitted to your lord ships, for the alters' ion of certain oaths now required t be taken by members of both Houses of Pariiameot, and a clause was intrcdteced in that bill, as it cause up to your lordship, Which diepeosed with certain words of one of the oaths. Those clausee were struck out by your lordship, and the-hill so amended was sent down to the other house. Tee House of Commons retuned the bill, objecting to your lordships' amendments, and stating their reasons. Upou the second discu-siou of this hitt in your lerdslaipe' house my noble and gallant friend very unexpectedly gave notice, on the day before the Whit suetids bolyiays, of his intention to move an emend meht, without statiug the usvure or character of that amendment. Oa the first day after the holydaye my noble and gallant friend (the Earl of Teem') ;tie net a resolution subetztet'elly to tees etiact,—that the other hon , e ease the power, by' Act of Par liaLaida, to cispense, by a resolution of the hou s e, with the words " on the true faith of a Christian," in the case of members of the Jewish per uasion. That amendment took me and most cf your lordships by surprise. My noble and gallant friend having only given notice of his intention on the day before the recess, and tiari g brought leeward hi• resolution ea the first day after the holy:tap, it vine for any pr.vate communicetioe to tatter Ideate beeweetnutentletrs sinter on one side or the other, and we came to the discus ion of an important amendment a ithout the pos. ability cf pro. iuus consultation or deli'.eratioo. Under thesacireumstaeces I took upon myzelt to suggest to your lordships that the qiiestiun crought forward try my noble and gallant friend wa- , one of too much importance to be decided on in en accidental discussion of an amendment iu the last stage of a bill. I suggested to your lordships that, if my noble and gal'ant friend in tended to prapose hie azuendmneht, it would be better done by a separate bill than by a• mere amendment. I confess that in my opinion it would have been more satisfactory to your Lordships and to the caur.try if my noble and gallant friend hail been satisfied with the ex preesion of his own opinion —with throwing out a sue gestion that such a modification was required, and had then left the other House of Perliatnent to send back the bill with the amendments so introduced, to which your lordships might then have given your assent. But the course winch has been pursued is the; two bille here been iromeht. in—one by my noble and gallant friend (the Eerl of Lucan) and another by my noble said learued friend (Lord Lyndhurst), than whom no one is more ereetted t ► ce heard on a subject ter which he has devoted so much time and attention. (Cheers.) Upon looking at the two bills there does not appear to be much difference in their provisions, but in the framing of his bill my noble and learned friend permits what rosy be considered an irregularity in the course f Path n mentary proceeding, because a bill has passed through all its stages here, and must neceseariiy be communi cated to the House of ()amnions, with the final decision of your lordships upon it. The bill of my noble and learned friend, however, takes' steps to re-enact all the clauses that have been already pa-sed in the bill that has been before both Houses of Terlianient. The bill of my noble and gallant friend, on the coetrary, takes a different course, and deals only with the single question of enattling the House of Commons to deal by .way of resolution with the question. and to dispense with some words in this per ticular oath. I confess that I am disposed to view with every favour the suggestion of my noble and gallant friend to send down* such an enabling power to the House of Commons, and I think such a C3IITBO prefer able to that pureued by my noble and gallant friend. I think it would be far better to send down the fist bill as it stands, and then to send down the bill of my noble and gallant friend, dealing with the case of the Jews as a separate measure. I confess, wy lords, that I have not altered my views in regard to the policy or inexpe diency of admitting the Jews as members of a Chris.ian Legistature n but, having carefully and anxiously consi dered the subject, I see that the proposal of my [ruble and gallaat friend is the only possible solution of 011 difficulty whick has existed fur a period of ten yeare. see tio other practical chance of bringing the two Houses of Parliament int r agreement. Toe measure propreed by my noble and gallant friend is one that certainly maintains the principle adopted by your lordship in dealing with this measure. It in detains the dignity of your lordships' house with regard to that portion of the question which is more immediately subject to your juritdiction. It maintains the law as it stands at the present moment, but it enables t he House of Commons, upon a question that specially relates to persona taking their seats in that house, to dispense with the words which stand in the way of what appears to be the decided wish 'of that house. Tins solution appears to me to 1 afford a practical and not nit reatonable mode of settling a difficult and complicated question. And however much I regret the detertniiiation taken by the House of Commons, and the impossibility ef maintaining invio late the principle for w hich your lordships' house has ever contended, I confess I think there is less difficulty and less practical inconvenience and danger arising from giving a limited consent to the views of the House of Conetnune, as embodied in the proposition of my noble and gallant friend, than in persisting iu an opposition which all practical experience proves cannot be pushed beyond a certain limit between the two houeee. While, therefore, on the one hand, I object to the bill of my noble and learned friend, and while I canna. say that the frill of my noble and gallant friend is not susceptible of and may not iudeed require some amendment, I shall be atified, if it come to a question of divtdiog upon the secold reading, to give my support to the bill f my noble and gallant friend. My lerds, it is with this greittest regret I feel that I may differ upon this que , tiori from many of those, with whom I have agreed fur twiny years. If upon this occasion tin se a ho Lane honoured nee with their confidence find it impossible to adopt the course which I have recommended, I wit' only say for ray own part that, c'etiming from them that justice which I am ready to give in return, I tak e the course which I have adopted from no other feeling than a desire to see an amicable settlement between the two houses with regard tda question of grave interes, and with respect to which I see no other solution. (Cheers.) Lord LYNDHURST—The course recommended by my nob'e friend has taken me by eurprise. Before I give an auswcr to the considerateurre which he has sug gested it is neceseaey to wake some explanation. When this subject was last before your lordships I listened with great attention and satisfaction to the speech of my noble friend, who with that readiness of illustration and clearness of statement by which ho is characterise!), shaped out the course which he said must be pursued iu order to put an end to the difference between the houses of Parliament. I urniidered /nest carefully the stiggsS tien made by my noble friend, and I took it as the foun dation t f the bill I have brought, in. If your lordships will look t.) the . cranes you aiil find that they corre spond with the s uggeroiers of my noble friend. By the bill I have brought in, if a member of either house come to CLlO:side to he sworn, anti says ihe he cac not con scientiously make the declaration on the true faith of a Christian, those words are to be struck out of the oath, and the taking of the oath with that omission will he a sufficient taking of the oath. That, my fordo, is the main clause of the bill that I have brought in. My noble friend, it is true, did not pledge him se lf to support a bill fin drover', but he exaremeel him e lf errongly ia favour rf rseh a rocareir e. I will read to your lordships a report of whs . :fell from my noble friend, which accords exactly with toy own reeellen.;Cona of what took place. Wnat lam now stating is said in my own justification, in pr esenting the billin the form in which it now appear?. Ido not read this in any controversial spirit, but in explanation. My noble, friend, speaking of the atoendment of my noble and gallant friend, esz. pressed himself in these terms : "I could better understand it (the amendment) had in iutrod aced into the latter portion of the clause the same provision which is to be found in the first part, and pro vide.' that in the care of city person presenting himself at the table (for I can't see why the restriction should only be remove t in the case of Jews), and having been duly elected, declaring that he was willing to take the prescribed oath., but that the words `on, the true f ith of a Chris tien' were not binding on his conscience, each house should be empowered to omit those words, and to allow the sub stantive oath to be taken in the form which might be most binding. Ido not pledge myself to that view, but there is much to be said in its favour, and that by adopting it it is possible to a great extent to get rid of the very pa'nfol subject of difference between this and the other house. In voting against the latter portion (of the amendment) I de sire to reserve to myself, and those with whom I act, the opportunity of cousidering upon some future occasion whether any compromise, framed according to such prin. ciple as I have mentioned, may not be adopted to termi nate the in conveuiences axial og from, I fear, the permanent difference of opinion between your lordships and the other house."— Your lordships must see that the bill which I framed was foueded eh the statement ef my nebie friend. Ido cot say that my coble friend was absolutoly bound to eupport the hill as I have framed it, but I had every reason to Islieve, front the canner in which he ex pressed himself and from his stating tLat touch was to be said in favour of a bi:l so :lute a out, that it would have the entire concurrence of my eoble friend. (sear, hear.) In that, however, I aue so ey to say, I have been diseppoin , rd. (Hear, hear.) I bare nut in point of principle aey objection to the bill of my noble and gallant friend. I have no per:onal ohject in this matter. (Hear, bear.) I have nothing but a public object lo view, and, if that ohjec; is carried, whether it be ace cernpliehed by my bill or by the bill of my node and gallant fiisnd is to me a matter of perfect indifference. (Hear ; he he) I have no persocal vanity to gratify. (Hear.) I have been too long engaged in public lite to be influenced by any f,elings of that descriptioo. (dear, hear.) lam desirous to acc. tuplish the olject and to attain the ecd. I bay., iu view, and by whomsoever it .nay be promoted, and by whitte%er measure, it will i ay my heerty concurrence and support. (hear, hear.) My noble friend has :eat d that there is an objection in point of f ,rro to the bill I haze introduced, but he is eutirsly trisinfor e.e:l on that m Ater. In the first place, the two bi:is which have been introduced are not identical—the one is imperative, the o her discretionary. But Ido not rely on that. I will state distinctly the rule of yOUr lordships' house on the rut ject, and which is also the rule of the ether Louse of Perliainent. When a binds brought from the other househand is rejected by your lordships, then a bill fdr the same object cannot be introduced during the same session into the house where the bill originated. But so long as a bill is depending in the house another bill, baring precisely the same. object, may be brought in and passed. It depends entirely on the question whether the former bill is or is not de pendicg. (Ilear, Lear.) No man will say that the bill which was brought up from the other house relative to tie Jews is not now pending before your lordithips. It is not only on our tables, but stands on the parer for to-night, in so far as regards the answers we are to give to 0, G30..11100? for the course we have taken with reference to it. When those answers go down to the house of Commons, that house may again cend the hill up for our re-coueicieretion. (Hear, hear.) The rule is, that while a bill is depending, and until it is completely disposed of, there is nothing whatever to prevent another bill for the same object being introduced. (1.1.ar, hear.) At this very moment there are two or three bills directed to the same object before your lordships' house ; and in the other house of Parliament—tor the rule is the same in both bouses— there are two bills depending for regulaticg the Govern. anent of Indite (Hear.) I think these statements are de cieive as regards the objection to my noble friend; but another rule exists, from which there can be no doubt whatever, and that is, that when a bill comes from the other house of Parliament and is rejected in your lordships' house, you may in your house in troduce another bill having the same .itie ..r; ,e„„ ivd. to the same ohjerit, and 1. uuwi, to the house w!.lcL the other bill proceeded. (Hear, hear.) That is a rule which has been established among the general orders of your lordships' house, so that even bad the former bill been rejected—if it had been en tirely out of your lordships' house—it would still have been compe•ent for us, that bill having originated in the other 1,013 e, to produce another bill with the same title and directed to tie .came object. (Hear.) I did not think it r4lll to rely entirely on my own view of this case. but I applied for iofercuation to an eminent officer of the other house, whose name I shall uct tnectien, but who is perfectly acquainted with the_ rules ef . Paheiseeeut, and Li • answer to my application was as follows " My dear Lord,—No objection can be raised to the in troduction of a bill into the House of Commons t.n the ground of there being a similar bill already before the house. "[Eldred, we hire at present two India bills before us—Lord P.dwerston's and Lord Derby's—each waiting a second reading. It is the rejec - tion, and not the pendt Rey of the bill, that urea& s the difficulty us to ulterior pro ceed ngs. The rule applies to both houses, and an addi tional indulgence is allowed to bills sent by the Commons to the Lords, as, even in the event of their rejection by the Ler , s, similar bills may be subsequently introduced into► the Lords. (See May's "Practice of Parliament,' 247.) The introduction of any Jew Bill into the Lords is, therefore, as far as I can judge, perfectly regular." Bet the qu -slim( does nut retl here. You wi.l find from Mr. May'► "Privileges and Practices of Parliament" that the rules of both houses in regard to this matter are the same. He says :-- " WI en bills have ultimately passed, or have been re jected, the rules of both houses are positive that they shall not be introduced again : but the practice is not btrictly in accordance with them. The principle is thus stated by the Lords, May 17, 1606 :•--` That when a bill bath been brought into the house and rejected, another bill of the same argument and wetter way not be renewed and begun again in the same house, in the saute session, where the former bill was begun ; but if a bill, begun in one of the houses, atul thero•allowed and passed, be disliked and re fused in tte other, a new bill of the same matter may be drawn and begun again •in that house whereunto it was lint ; and if,t a : .bill being begun in either of the houses and committed ; it be thought by the committees that the matter may bettor proceed by a new bill, .it is likewise holden agreeable tp order, in such case, to draw a new bill I and to bring it into the house.' " I have to repeat, therefore, that according to the rules of sour lordships' home, even if this bill .had been re jected, we have power to introduce a new bill for the same object. (Hear, hear.) I have stated this in justi fication of what I have done ; and now allow me to say a few words with respect to the bill of my noble and gallant friend. I have no objection on principle to that bill. It embraces, indeed, a material part of my own bill ; but what strikes me as very extraordinary is, that when my noble and gallant friend moved his amendment to the bill that came do wn front the Commons, that amendment conaistmg of two parts, one applicable to tneuitere in Parliament, and another to persons out of Parliament, my noble friend (I,9rd Derby) approved one of those parts, and disapproved, or at least had Wong doubts as to the other, and now my noble and g allant friend omits thae part which my noble friend (Lord Derby) approve], and contents himself with the inttoductiou into his bill of that of which my noble friend expressed grave doubts. (Bear.) It deals with the oath of eltjureeion only so far as relates to the words " on the true faith of a Christian," and if the bill should pass into a law, you still would have to abjure the de scendants cf the Pretender. I put that to my noble friend far his consideration. It is true that when the bill goes into committee you may amen d it i n t h at re - , epect ; but what will be the effect? Why, abiolutely to matte it conformable to my bill ; so, by rejecting the bill 'that I have brought in, you are supporting a bill which embraces only one part of the subject, and are going into centreittee to supply what is wanting to make it like mine. I repeat Ido not in the slightest degree care by what pleicees the object I have in view may be attained. Whether it be by the bill brought in by my . noble and gallant friend, or by my bill—whether it be by one bill or by two—is to me altogether immaterial. As I said before, I have no personal feeling on the sub ject ; I am desirous of attaining the object in view, and is w e,e e y ee wa y that object is attained I shall be per fectly eatisfitd. Now, as I understand that my noble friene will euppert toe bill of my n :blei and gallant friend, and as I know, if he does support that bill, the object will be accomple t hed—as I know, too, if I press toy bill it may possibly tot succeed, or at least may suc ceed with d fliculty, I have no hesitation whatever in pe4tpAting my bill in order that the bill of my noble and gallant friend may be brought forward and sup ported by the po eerie' voice, the masterly talents, and, more than that, the extensive—l will not say the over whelming—but the extensive influence of my noble friend at the head of the Government. By taking this course I believe I shall accomplish the object I have at heart. (Cheers.) 1 withdraw my hill. The t rder cf the day for the second reading of Lord Lyudburst's bill was then postponed. Lerd LUCAN then moved the second reading of his bill, the object, of which was to allow the admission of Jews into the other house of Parliament upon the reso lution of the house. Under the provisions of his bill it would be necessary in the first instance fur a Jew w h en elected to preseut himself at the table of the house, and to decline so take the u sual n wo t u o l t d ak b a e competent for the homes o dmi a e t s i his seat, upon a resolu tion to alter the oath i n suc h a manner a 3 it could be taken. He respected the conscien- al b in I r e lo ut r e d , wh s h h pe i p en s r ' i s house who tious opinions of tho se who were opposed altogether to but thought that t th h e e r e e d i T t i r s so ni i on a o n f y .T m e :TB i b n e t r o s P of a their oaths , thought it was high time the question was disposed of and finally settled. Tae oompromise which he proposed. by his belt was one which be thought well caleulited to bring the question to a final settlement. He could not understood the value of the objections which had been urged to the measure, on the ground that it would give unconstitutional power to the House of Commons.
