St Martin's Hall and the penny newspapers have defeated themselves more completely than ever we had anticipated. We felt little doubt that every threat would call forth hostile votes in the House or L9rds, but we did not expect that the majority would be Rearly two to one against yizading to intimidation. More than one of their lordships, the most venerable of them all especially, adverted to this meeting and its deputation, in a manner which showed how little they felt disposed to bow to its behests. And the similar tone of the " Man chester school" all over the country had doubtless no little influence on the division. We must confess that, in regard to the constitu• tional question, the Lords had much to say. They freely conceded that, constitutionally, they had no right to originate, to alter, or to amend a money bill; but they seem to have all authority, and some precedents, also, in their favour, as to their right to reject a bill of Supply as a whole. Not only the books, but even the Commons themselves in conferences with the Lords, had admitted that "the Lords had a negative to the whole." Some, perhaps, of Lord LYN D HURST'S precedents could not be fairly reckoned as such. For the 'reuse of Lords to decline abolition "fees," and similar payments, was altogether in keeping with the Conservative character of that body, but there were other cases mentioned by him and by Lord MONTEAGLE which could not well be got rid of. That of 1811 espe cially, when it was proposed to lower the duties on molasses, on account of the high price of malt—a repeal of a duty of obvious advantage to distillers, and to the consumers of their manufacture. Yet the Lords refused, and the Government acquiesced, and modified their measures accordingly. The case also of refusal to assent to the bill for lowering the duties on tallow in 1758—was not met by Lord CRANWORTII, probably cannot be. indeed, the result of the discussion is to leave it a settled question that the Lords have not only a technical but a constitutional right to reject any money bill as a whole. All, therefore, turned upon the prudence of doing so in this special case. And we cannot doubt that very many of the lords were strongly influenced by the consideration pressed by Lord CHELMSFORD. The right had been so questioned out of doors, and such solemn warnings uttered, that "his n)ble and learned friend seemed to consider there was some evil impending over them if they rejected this bill. He must say he thought their lordships would incur a much greater danger by refusing to take the course suggested to them, because they would really show that they were mere cyphers in the Constitution, and that they had no power whatever upon any occasion when the magical name of a money bill was mentioned, even when the publ_ic were most deeply interested. If their lordships lost this opportunity of showing that they had power, upon an occasion when they might do the greatest possible good to the public, they would depose themselves—they would refuse to exercise those import ant functions which belonged to them as a part of ate constitution, and they would certainly bring on themsflves infinitely more mis chievous consequences than they had been threat ened with by the noble and learned lord opposite by adopting the amendment." If the Lords thought it a matter of prudence to save their rights when they seemed to be questioned, no one can deny that the financial case might be made almost as strong as Lord DERBY could desire. Figures are not generally supposed to be his de• partment, yet into them he plunged with a zest which showed his strong conviction: He surpass d the ex-Chancellor and the present Controller of the Exchequer, Lord MONTEAGLE himself, and cer tainly made it as clear as figures taken from Mr. GLADSTONE'S statements themselves could do, that we must in the coming year be landed in a serious deficiency, and that for the present year we should have a deficit rather than a surplus. He did not contend that the House of Lords ought capriciously and lightly to interfere with the ordi nary course of assenting to all bills relating to taxation as sent up by the Commons, but he cer tainly made out a strong case for affirming that this was one of the exceptional cases. lie had shown from the statements of the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself that the deficiency must be £2,268,000 in 1861-2, and would probably be much more, while the present year would leave, according to the same statements, no surplus towards meeting it, but rather the reverse. Some may hold that, even in a case like this, the Lords ought to bear with the Commons the entire responsibility of the finances of the country ; others will think this just the case in which the Government ought to equalise the movements of the State financial-engine. It is evident, too, that the Lords are disposed to thwart the influence of Manchester counsels on the Government. Perhaps Lord DERBY was a little hard upon the Government here, since in the balanced state of parties, that small and ener getic clique hold so much the turn of the scales in their power that even his own party could not do without their aid when they were last in power. The movements of BRIGHT, and his tail, are now as nervously watched as used to be those of O'CoN NELL and his tail. The Manchester school, how ever, will now see how they are estimated by the august school which has refused to repeal the Paper Duties at their command. "I am charmed, said Lord DERBY, to hear the noble duke declar ing, on the part of the Government, that there is nothing in common in their principles and the prin ciples of the Manchester school ; but whatever may be the intentions of her Majesty's Government they are by their acts playing into the hands of the Manchester school. The announcement made, and openly and publicly proclaimed, is this, " We will limit the range of taxation. We will make the whole dependence of the country rest on direct taxation ; and the pressure of that direct taxation will be so grinding and so odious that whatever may be the circumstances of the country war will be avoided, because no one will be willing to defray the expenses." That is the avowed object. They say they will secure peace by taking away the power of going to war, and that is to be done by making direct taxation the sole source of the revenues of the state. My lords, it is not therefere solely on account of the revenue that I object to the abolition of the paper duty at this moment. It is because you are taking away an important part of the re venue, and, pro tanto, establishing the principles and promoting the objects of those parties by weak ening the finances of the country. It is upon this political principle as well as upon financial grounds that I object to the proposition of her Majesty's Government, and I shall not give my assent to that proposition." What the intentions of the Government are, we cannot yet know. We presume, however, from all we hear, that they will neither resign nor dis solve, but very prudently, as Englishmen often do, " pocket the affront." Whether Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. MILNER GIBSON will do so in their indi vidual capacity, remains to be seen. Our contem porary, the 5 orninq Post, adverting to the large majority, remarks :—" Of this majority so many Peers were the habitual supporters of the Govern ment as to take off from the vote all suspicion of its having been a mere party move. Under these circumstances, we understand that the Cabinet will accept the decision of the House of Lords, and re tain the tax as it at present exists." A telegram of more than ordinary importance apprises us that the gauge of battle has been flung down before the Western Allies by John China man. One Ministerial change at any rate is there fore at this moment inevitable. The Earl of ELGIN'S anomalous position in the Cabinet as Post master-General will have to be definitively as sumed by some other administrator. The Duke of ARGYLL"wiII no longer be called upon to dis charge double duty by combining the temporary responsibilities of his absent colleague, now en route for China, with those hitherto devolving upon his grace in connection with his own official rank as President of the Council of Education. A permanent substitute, and not one merely tem porary in his character, will. have to be selected by the noble viscount the First Lord of the Trea sury. Of one thing, we presume, we may rest tolerably well assured in regard to the filling up of this office once more under Lord PALMERSTON —namely, that the selection of the noble lord will not fall this time upon the most honourable ULICK, Marquess of of CLANRICARDE. The appointment of that noble marquess, as Postmaster-General, towards the close of the PALMERSTON Administration was ominous of the collapse that followed so soon afterwards. Hardly had the Marquess of CLANRICARDE been installed in St. Martin's-le-Grand, when the strong Government was discovered one fine day to be comatose. And we all know that the state of coma is often only immediately anterior to that of a full stop,"whether in the career of a ' Cabinet or in the gradations of grammatical punc tuation. It is scarcely, however, so much in reference to the Ministerial modifications the intelligence brought by this Asiatic telegrame involves, that the signi ficance of the important intimation it contains is to our thinking so peculiarly deserving of our consideration. It is rather, we would say, at once in its vital bearing, on the one band, through our chief alliance, upon our foreign rela tions ; and, on the other hand, through our financial complications, upon our internal government. The Chinese having, as we learn through this telegram, definitively and peremptorily refused to accede to our propositions, there result from this point blank rejection of the Ultimatum jointly submitted by France and England to the Councils;of the Celestial EMPEROR at Pekin, two grand and obvious consequences. First of all, it will bind together yet more closely at the actual seat of war the warlike interests of the two leading Powers of Europe, of the two great races, we may say, who are foremost in the march of natidern civilisa tion. Secondly, the drain upon the Exchequer Chinawards is now pretty safe to be far more con siderable than was anticipated two months ago by the Chancellor of the same in his gigantesque and picturesque, but singularly rash and glaringly ex perimental financial statement. There is a tro bability, there is more than a: probability merely; THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1860, now, that the deficit for the next twelvemonth will be not less but absolutely more than £13,000,000. A very charming anticipation, surely—especially when it is remembered that we have already gone the length of retaining a war impost upon tea and another war impost upon sugar, at the very time that we are emptying out of our pockets into the Treasury tenpence in the pound upon incomes—otherwise in a year of peace, paying down under the head of the WAR TAX, par excellence, £10,000,000. Having accomplished all which marvels at the suggestion of Mr. GLAD STONE, it becomes rather bewildering to conjecture what upon earth there is left for us to do in the event of any great European war contingency. Sufficient, however, for the day, as Divine lips have told us, is the evil thereof. What we have to do now, immediately, is to provide for the actual war con tingency before us, no longer in posse but actually in esse, out upon the coasts of China. Already we have had two wars out there. The third is at this moment " upon us"—it must be " the charm " leading to a permanent pacification, to a permanent readjustment of our relations with the Chinese. Now, at least, there must be no mistake. The watchword by sea and br land out there must be thorough: We must take forthwith what the late CZAR designated a " material guarantee," and having taken it, there—from the height of that "'coign of vantage "—dictate terms to the Chinese EMPEROR and his Government. It is in the inte rests not only of Western Europe, but also of the Chinese themselves, and indeed for those of the whole world, that this third war of ours with the Celestial empire should be vigour ously entered upon and rapidly carried to a success ful consummation. England must direct the march of her troops straight upon Pekin, and there, from the palace of the fugitive or captive EmrEnott of the Chinese, dictate new and more stringent terms to the Government of his Celestial Mightiness. coasts in the Adriatic, without crossing the Straits of Messina, BERLIN, MAY 21. England has not yet given her consent to the assembling of a conference of the great Powers for the settlement of the Eastern question. The Kreuz Zeitung says :—" We have reason to doubt the correctness of the news that England would not oppose an eventual inquiry into the situation of the Christians in Turkey." The same paper, however, published on Saturday last intel ligence concerning the attitude of England, which was contrary to the above statement. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days have been rather inactive. The intelligence from China, however, has caused increased firmness in tea and silk, a con siderable quantity of which has been withdrawn from the market. Sugars have been rather inactive, with no material alteration to record in values. Coffee, owing to the late ar rivals and the large quantity announced for public sale, has been dull, and prices have tended down wards. Rice has been in demand, prices in most instances showing an upward tendency. In fruit and spices the dealings have been to a fair extent, at about previous rates. Saltpetre has been in increased demand, several large operations having taken place at advanced vathes. Tallow continues steady, at a slight improvement in price for forward delivery. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a rather dull appearance, and prices remained unaltered. The sales were about 7,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market business was quiet, and quotations exhibited less firmness. About £32,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. A favourable change is reported in the general appearance of the money market, owing to a dimi nution in the demand and tendency of the rates of discount. As accommodation has been granted at 4! and 4.1 per cent., there is some expectation of a decline in the minimum at the Bank of England, especially as the influx of Australian gold must have made an important addition to the stock of bullion. A movement, to the extent oft per cent., it is thought, may be announced this week, but this is not the general impression. The half-yearly dividend has been advertised for payment on the Swedish Provincial Mortgage Bonds. The Tagus, from the Peninsula, has been an nounced with £2,640 in specie. Notice has been given by the directors of the Anglo-Mexican Mint that a dividend will be paid on and after the 2d June next. At the meeting of the National Bank to-day a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. for the half year, besides paying the same bonus as before of 15s. per share, being, together, at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the Bank was unanimously agreed to. Notwithstanding the unsatisfactory nature of the intelligence from China, the rejection of the the Paper Bill in the House of Lords, and the heaviness reported in the French Rentes, Consols, which opened with a downward tendency, are now 941 for money, and 941 95 for the account, The market, however, continues quiet. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are flat at 927 4 931 ; Bank Stock remains at 228 ; Indian Loan at 1067 a ; ditto 5 per cent. (enfaced paper) at 98; ditto 5-1- per cent. (ditto) at 1021 103 ; and Exche quer Bills are 4s. to Bs. prem. Rather more activity prevails in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices show no important change. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 741 to 75 ; ditto New, 57 to 58 ; the 4 per Cents, are fiat at 1011 ; and Mexican at 211' to 211 ; Russian 41 per Cents. are firm at 971; Brazilian 5 per Cents. are steady at 99; ; ditto 41 per Cents. at 908 ; ditto Scrip, is at I dis ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. at 10011. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 prem.; the Thames and Mersey ditto, 11 4 prem. ; and the Universal ditto, 1 I prem. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a very restricted scale, but in some instances prices have shown more firmness. Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western and Midland advanced 55., and Great Northern and Brighton 10s. ; Eastern Counties and Great Western have declined 55., and South Eastern ss. to 10s. The Foreign and Colo nial undertakings have shown no material varia tion. Great Luxemburg are &I 1, San Poole 11, East Indian have declined to 1011, 1011; Great Western of Canada, to 121 ; and Great Indian Peninsula, to 991 99.

He had been previously convicted. The slackness of the demand for discount at the Bank of England lead to an anticipation that the rate of discount on Thursday next may be reduced to 4 per cent. The quotations from Bombay yesterday, dated the 27th of April, show a partial reaction from the late rise in Government securities. The Rupee Four per Cents. had declined from 86 to 85; the Five per Cents. from 99 to 98; and the Five-and .a •Half per Cents. from 1051. to 104.1. The rate of exchange was 2s. lid., showing an adverse turn of per cent. 'rho advices from New York yesterday describe no material change in the stock or money markets. The rate of exchange remained firm, and the explanation of the smallness of the amount of specie brought by this steamer is that the Cunard vessels charge / per cent, freight, and the screw steamers only I. The City of Manchester and New York, will both be likely to bring remittances. In consequence of the news from China the tea market yesterday afternoon showed increased firmness, and the few sales made were at about Is. 2d. per lb. for com mon congou, or id. higher than last week. In most cases, however, the stocks on offer have been withdrawn, pending the receipt of fuller details by the letters. ENLISTMENT FOR THE POPE.—The Tralee corre spondent of a Dublin journal reports that the enlistment movement has extended to that town, which has supplied a number of recruits within the last few days. LADY BYRON AND THE GARIBALDI FUND.—A few days before her death, Lady Byron, turning a sym pathising thought to Italy, sent £4O as a subscription to the ' Garibaldi Fund, accompanying the gift with heartfelt • wish. for the cause of that country. THE PULLINGER FRAUDS.—The committee of the Stock Exchange this afternoon terminated their inquiry on the Pullinger frauds. The resolution adopted is that the four members who acted for him as brokers—Messrs. Robert Johnston, Theodosius Uzielli, Sheldon, and Brad dock—are to be suspended from admission to the houso, the first three till the 25th of March next, when the an nual election takes place, and they can be again admitted or rejected at the pleasure of the members, and the last for three months, their case being rendered less serious in the eyes of the committee by some exceptional circumstances. In the course of alday or two a formal report of the inquiry will be published, but it is understood that the evidence has not shown that more than a fifth part of the stolen funds was lost in the Stock Exchange. The penalty of suspension resolved upon yesterday will require to be for mally confirmed at another meeting, which is to be held to day, but as 29 out of the 30 members of the committee were present yesterday morning, and their vote was unani mous, there is apparently not the smallest chance of any modification being made.

On them all may rely for restoring health when natural func tions are suspended or morbidly sluggish. Under the genial influence of Holloway's preparations, beauty, vigour, and vivacity are rekindled. The ointment should be well rubbed over the kidneys and bottom of the stomach every night on going to bed. The effect will be marvellous. Eight or ten pills should be taken nightly for some little time while using the ointment, in order to purify the blood, cleanse the system, and correct all the obstructions.

The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : SUCCESSES OF GARIBALDI'S FORCE. PARIS, MAY 21. The despatches from Naples, received to-day, are far from being in accordance with those of Saturday. The present accounts state that the advantage was on the side of Garibaldi's troops in the affairs of the 15th and 16th; and that, as a consequence of these first engagements, they had invested Mon reale, a town at a short distance (about two miles) from Palermo. It was thought that the safety of Palermo was compromised. Bands of Sicilians had joined the partisans of Garibaldi. The proclamations of General Lanza, and the promises of tho Government, had not produced any striking results at Palermo. TURIN, MAY 21. The official despatch from Naples announcing a defeat of the Garibaldians has been contradicted. PALERMO, MAY 18. The Neapolitan troops have abandoned the pro vinces of Palermo and Trepani, and have retired within the towns. Great disorder prevails at Palermo. The provinces are in full insurrection ; 3,000 in surgents have joined the Garibaldians. Ditches are being dug round Palermo to defend the city. The enthusiasm is general. NAPLES, MAY 20. A rumour is current that part of the city of Palermo is in the hands of the population. NAPLES, MAY 21 (EVENING). The Neapolitan troops were repulsed in the com bats of the 15th and 16th inst. The position of Monreale, which commands Pa lermo, has been invested by the troops of Garibaldi. Bands of insurgents are marching on Palermo. The proclamation of General Lanza concerning an amnesty and a viceroyalty has had no effect. Popular manifestations take place repeatedly. It is believed that Palermo will shortly be evacuated by the royal troops. PALERMO, MAY 20 (EvENING). On the 16th inst. Garibaldi put to flight the Neapolitan troops at Calatafini. Garibaldi was expected to be at Partenico yes terday. His tioops are entrenched in a semi-circle round Palermo. The Neapolitan troops and functionaries are dis couraged. Great popular enthusiasm prevails. ROME, MAY 21. (OFFICIAL.) A conflict took place yesterday near Monte Fias cone between the Pontifical gendarmes and 350 in surgents coming from Tuscany ; 25 of the rebels were wounded and 56 killed, among whom was the brother of Orsini who attempted the assassination of the Emperor Napoleon. The gendarmes had three killed and two wounded. PARIS, MAY 21. The Patric of this evening contains a despatch announcing that Colonel Pimodan had obtained a decided success against the volunteers who had en tered the Roman territory. The brother of Orsini is said to have been killed. The Pays states that in this affair the Pontifi cal gendarmes were 80 in number, and the revolu tionists 300. MARSEILLES, MAY 21. Ad vices from Rome state that General de LaMo riciere entered that city on the 13th inst. On the following day he despatched the 2d Regiment of infantry, two cannon, and detachments of mounted gendarmes. The cause of the movement was the march of Garibaldians to Orbitello, the news of which had caused great agitation at Rome. The Papal Government was organising an urban guard, and was making every provision to maintain order 'in Rome. It was said that the departure of the French troops had been decided on, but the belief was that it would be adjourned. TURIN, MAY 21: A telegram, dated Rome, May 20, has been re ceived here, announcing that 60 Pontifical gen darmes had encountered 350 Garibaldians on the evening of the 19th inst., in a grotto near Monte Fiascone. A severe contest ensued, in which the Garibaldians had six killed, among whom was the brother of Orsini, and about 25 wounded. The gendarmes had three killed. The band had been dispersed and driven back into Tuscany. TURIN, MAY 22. The treaty of Zurich has been approved in the Sardinian Chambers by 215 against 16 votes. The report of the committee on the treaty of cession of Savoy and Nice to France concludes by proposing its approbation by the Chambers. VIENNA, MAY 22. The Austrian Government having sent orders by telegraph to its agents in the Danubian Principali ties, to verify whether Russian troops were really concentritcd on the Pruth, has obtained the cer tainty that there is no concentration of Russian forces on that river. TRIESTE, MAY 22. According to posterior instructions received from Vienna, the Austrian flotilla, under the command of the Commodore von Wullersdorff, will be pro visionally confined to cruising off the Neapolitan FRANCE.

A letter from Turin, dated May 16, says : " This day, or to-morrow at furthest, the Official Gazette will publish a declaration that the Govern ment declines the responsibility of any connivance or privity whatever with Garibaldi's expedition to Sicily. This declaration will be a new concession, this time to Russia, whose Government was in clined to publish a solemn protest on the subject. Information has been received here, that as soon as the Czar heard of the expedition and Garibaldi's landing he became enraged, and exclaimed, I will not have the revolutionary principle triumph.' " The Official Gazette has confirmed the statement that the seminary of Piacenza would be closed. Our Government has made up its mind not to put up any longer with the insolent provocation of Papal agents. _ . 'the papist journals of this morning are furious against England, whom they accuse of being the abettor of the Sicilian revolution; as if the Sicilians could not themselves tell how wretchedly and in tolerably governed they were.

SALE OF GAS. On the motion of Lerd REDESDALE this bill was read a first time. PETITION OF RIGHTS BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was reported with amendments. SELLING AND HAWKING GOODS ON SUNDAY. The report of the committee on this bill was received. after Lord CHELMSFORD had moved an additional clause. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Lord TEYNHAM moved the sec •nd reading of this bill, which was to compel tradesmen to sell artioles by imperial weights and measures. Lord REDESDALE said it would be very inconvenient to publicans, especially if their customers preferred to pur. chase their articles otherwise. The bill was read a second time. ADULTERATION OF FOOD BILL. Lord REDESDALE moved the second reading of this bill, which was to prevent the sale of a vast deal of rubbish which was now being sold in the form of meat and drink in the metropolis. He said the idea that gave rise to the bill was the manufacture of isinglass from very deleterious articles ' • and although the manufacturer tho ug ht by con verting these materials into gelatine they would lose the injurious properties, such was not the case, as the gel a ti ne starch retained the dangerous properties. Unless some pro per person was appointed to examine certain articles of food and drink, adulteration would go on to a much larger extent than it was carried on at the present time. Lord PORTMAN thought there would be great diffi culty in working this bill. The in pectors to be appointed would be the first difficulty, because he thought such per sons as the bill set forth should be appointed, could not very readily be found. Then it was proposed that any person selling adulterated articles, and being convicted, was liable to have his name and address published in one or more newspapers, which he thought was alto• gether a new principle in legislation. The Earl of HARDWICKE thought the machinery of the bill was too complicated, but he fully admitted that as far as regarded the public the question was a very important one. The Earl of WESTMEATH supported the bill. Some time ago an inquiry into the genuineness of certain articles took place in Ireland, when it was discovered that a great part of the bread consumed in one of the towns in the county of Cork was composed of nothing but ground bones. After a few words from Lord TEYNHAM and Lord WENSLEYDALE, Lord REDESDALE said, as there was some difference of opinion with respect to the bill, he should propose to take the second reading that evening, and he would then fix the committee for a certain day after the holidays, when all parties could then be ready with the amendments they wished to be made in the measure. _ This suggestion was adopted, and the bill was read a second time. . [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(THIs EVENING.) The SPEAKEiI took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the folloviing bills were con sidered snd agreed to, and the bills were ordered for third reading :—Sheffield Water, Sirhowy Tramroad ; and Tewkesbury, Upton upon Severn, and Malvern Junction Railway. The following bills were read a third time :—Hereford, Hay, and Brecon Railway, Maidstone Water, Vale of Clwyd Railway Extension, and Wexford Free Bridge. The following bills were considered, and ordered for third reading :—Doncaster and Tadcaster Road ; Horsham and Guildford Direct Railway ; London Hydraulic Power Company (Lords) ; Marchburn, Kelso, and Lauder Road ; North Kent Water (Lords) ; Sudbury. Melford and Clare Railway (changed from " Sudbury, Melford and Clare, and Bury Saint Edmund's Railway") ; Swansea Local Board of Health; and Wimbledon and Dorking Railway. GUN VESSELS. The following returns were ordered :—Copies of the con tract entered into with Messrs. Green for building the gun vessels; of any document in office, or correspondence, on the subject of unseasoned timber, and of the .inability of Messrs. Green to procure seasoned timber ; of the report from Malta of the state of the Coquette, built by Messrs. Green, stating whether that vessel had ever been hauled up at Haslar or elsewhere ; of he report from Portsmouth on. the state of the Caroline, built by Messrs. Green; re turns of the number of inspectors appointed by the Board of Admiralty attached to the yard of Messrs. Green during the building of the gunboats ; and, of the means adopted for the preservation of the vessels hauled up at Haslar, as directed in Jan., 1857. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE—VOTE OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS ON THE REPEAL OF '.CITE PAPER DUTY. Lord pA LMERSTON said he rose, pursuant to notioe, to move that the house at its rising this evening should ad journ till Thursday. He took that opportunity of stating that on Thursday evening he would move for the appointment of a committee to inquire into precedents in regard to the course which had been taken on former occasions by the House of Lords in reference to money bills. He would make this motion in consequence of the vote of last night in the tipper House. (Cries of •` Hear, hear," and " Oh, oh.") COURT OF PROBATE. Sir J. SHELLEY asked the First Commissioner of Works when proper accommodation would be provided for her Ma jesty's Court of Probate, and what steps had been taken to acquire the property for which powers were given under the act of last session, and for the purchase of which a sum of £130,000 was granted ? He con sidered that the time had arrived when the matter should be taken up by Government, as the present condition of the Court in re3pect to the security of wills and other circumstances was very unsatisfactory. Mr. COWPER said it was not proposed at present to incur any permanent expense in reference to the Probate Court, as a commission was sitting for the purpose of in quiring into the practicability of concentrating the whole of the law courts. CONVICT ESTABLISHMENT AT BERMUDA. Lord NAAS called the attention of the house to the state of the convict establishment at Bermuda, as detailed in the report laid before Parliament; and asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the inten tion of Government to send any more convicts to that island ? The noble lord made some observations, which were understood to be depreciatory of the present system the,: prevailed in reference to the establishment in question, but from his imperfect utterance he was quite unintelligible in the reporters' gallery. THE VOTE OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr. WHALLEY said that as no other hon. member seemed disposed to bring forward the subject of the vote given last night in the Upper House, and as it was a matter in which the country was deeply interested, he begged to ask the Government for some information in addition to that which had already been given by the noble lord at the head of the Government. He wished to know when any definite information would be given to the house on the most unprecedented, or, at all events the most important step taken by the other branch of the Legislature last night, in respect to the bill sent up from this house. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he had no information to give the hon. member who last addressed the house in ad dition to what his noble friend, the First Lord of the Trea sury, had stated in respect to the subject of his observa tions. He would, therefore, proceed to answer the question of the noble lord opposite. (Laughter.) He wished to inform the noble lord (Lord Naas) that his attention had been directed to the subject of the convict establishment at Ber muda. So far as the Home Department was concerned, there would be no difficulty in making arrangements that would render unnecessary the sending of convicts to Bermuda. However the withdrawal of the supply of con vict labour would lead to a suspension of the works at Ber muda, and would necessarily increase the public expendi ture. The affray that took place between the Irish and English convicts at Bermuda last year was to be regarded merely in the light of a faction, and was not of a serioxs character. THE WINE LICENSES BILL, &c. In reply to Mr. LIDDELL, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question of licensing theatres for the sale of wine was merely a matter for the police. and should not in his opinion be brought before the house. With regard to the Savings' Bank Bill, it was a financial measure, but it was not of such importance that he could expect that bills of a first class character should give way to its being proceeded with. Unless some special arrangements were made by which he could have a day settled for the discussion of the bill, its postponement from Friday next would, in the present state of public busines havethe effect of putting off legislation on the subject for the present session. THE VOTE OF THE LORDS. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR appealed to the Government for some information in addition to what •had been already stated in respect to the vote of last night of the House of Lords. After a few words from Mr. DISRAELI, Lord PALMERSTON said that he did not see any reason to depart from the course he had state previously. The vote for the adjournment of the house until Thurs day was then agreed to. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord PALMERSTON proposed that upon Thursdays, after Whitsuntide, Government orders of the day have pre cedence of notices of motions, and that notices of motions have precedence of orders of the day upon Fridays.— Agreed to.
