MEDICAL PROFESSION AND MEDICAL CORPORATIONS BILL. _ Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. WALPOLE thought it would be better not to read the bill a second time. It would be better to have one bill than two. Mr. T. DIINCOMBE said the principle of the bill tppeared to be approved of, and as some mischief 'night occur to the favourable progress of the ~ ther bills his would then come in for further considera• don. Sir W. HEA.TITCOTE swgeated the postponement )1 the second reading of the bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then postponed the second reading of his bill for three weeks.--Agreed to. MILITARY DEPARTMENTS, (Prom tl•e Times ) If the best institutions are not made, but grow, then is England certainly a fortunate country. Th e British Constitution is founded on the negation of abstract rights. It has been decided many a time that, apart from custom or positive enactment, no principle or doctrine has a claim on the acquiescence of the country. People seem determined to resist the intolerable domination of logic. We have a Chancellor of the Exchequer who is in some way connected with the Court of that name, who is sworn in, take his seat, and calls on counsel to move, but whose real duties would cause him to be styled in any other country the Minister of Finance. We have the leading states men of the Cabinet merely invested with the dignity of one of the Commissioners for executing the di3uFed office of Lord High Treasurer, and far lower in nominal rank than many of his own sub ordinates. The office of Lord High Admiral, like that of Treasurer, is alwayi; in . commission. In fact, as the power of the Crown has become inert, and that of the Lords spasmodic, while the fAith ful Common 4, with their humble addresses, are the strong, steady, and resolute governors of the coun try, so the administrative world has been revolu tiOnised and authority has gradually fallen away from ancient and lordly officers to men who in for mer days exercised functions little more important than those of a clerk or accountant. Well ! High Treasurer and High Admiral are gone ; Lord Chancellor has been sadly pared of his dignity ; their Graces the Archbishops have been made stipendiaries. Why should not Commander in-Chief undergo the common fate ? Captain Vivian's resolution, that, to promote greater effi ciency in the military departments, " the Horse Guards and War-office should be placed under the control of one responsible Minister," has been carried against the Government, and, indeed, against Principalities and Powers, and the rulers of this world generally, by a majority of two. Independent Liberalism gave the aristocratic and military circles a heavy blow in the matter of the admission to Woolwich, but that was nothing to the portentous decision of last night. It has been affirmed by the House of Commons that it is desirable the administration of any mili tary affairs by a great officer responsible to the Crown alone, and not immediately amenable to Parliament, shall cease. It is impossible to over rate the importance of this decision. It strikes at the heart of usages which have grown up and become so entwined with our military system as to seem to most men absolutely inseparable from it. In the army, and perhapsin higher quarters, we shall hear of no little alarm, indignation, anti complaint. The diatribes against popular clamour, civilian interfe rence, and Parliamentary usurpation, will echo in clubs and drawing-rooms as loudly as when the break down at S:ba.stopol was asserted to be the invention of " a ribald press." Surprise, vexation, and offended pride will be the feeling excited in a still higher and narrower circle. That every at tempt will be made to neutralise the resolution of the house and defeat its consequences need not be said. such a fabric as the irresponsible and extra-Parliamentary direction of 130,000 men, and the disposal of the most valued and coveted social distinctions, will not be over thrown without a struggle. The House of Com mons, if it wishes to gain any solid advantage, must follow up its hard-won victory. Our own opinions on this important question may be easily anticipated. Both the service we have criticised, and the public in whose name we h , ►ve spoken, will, we presume, do us the justice to say that in these matters we have uttered no un certain sound. Long snce, and not one?, but re- peatedly, we have urged the House of Commons to assume to itself that authority over the defences of the country- which it has a mord right to exercise. From no short, or cursory observation we have been c. - Aifirnied in the belief that only by such a course can the evils which still infest the system b 3 driven out, and that unify, strengt}.i, and activity induced which the critical state of Europe demands. Now, what at pre-eut is the relation of the house to the two services' The House of Commons is asked yearly to vote a sum exceeding 3),002,000/. sterling for the maintenance of the army and navy. Over both these great divisions of the national force it is needless to say that a proper control should be exorcised. To support them taxes all the energies of this indomitable people, and there are not wanting those who assert, and with no little show of truth, that already the pressure is more than can be safely borne. But an efficient army and navy the country w.ll have, at any sacrifice, and it is the duty of those who are intrusted with power t) promote that effidency by every means. But what authority is there in the country fit to take the matter in hand ? The services belong nominally to the Crown, but we know that the Crown is but another name for the irresponsibie action of a few professional chiefs, and will be used to cover every delinquency of the barrack and every intrigue of the Palace. The House of Lords is, from its want of sympathy with re form, and its general unearnestness and inat tention to business, unfitted for the exercise of a beneficial control. There remains but the House of Commons, which must evidently become more and more the practical supervisor of the national forces. Now, at present one branch—the Navy —is administered by a Cabinet Minister who is generally a member of the House of Commons. The advantages to the sr rvice from this arrange ment have been great and numerous. The control of the Cabinet has been more complete, and, as a Government is for the most part composed of independent and high-spirited men, the navy has been rescued from improper interferences, which a more courtier-like rule, without the fear of Parlia ment before its eyes, might have allowed to ope rate. On the other hand, the navy has always ob tained its full share of financial support from having for its chief a colleague of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and front being looked an with a more favourable eye by the economists of Parlia ment. What has been done for the navy it is but fair to demand for the army. At present the Secretary for War is only partially in authority. No one can define his power or his responsibility. Tho former may be arrogated when thereds a point to carry ; the latter may be denied when there is a blunder to escape from. Indeed, the sys em has all the disadvantages without any of the benefits of a double government. Etch department may hinder the other, or quarrel with the other, or shift responsibility on the other; but there is hardly a point where it can operate as an efficient che3k. General Peel stated that he knew his duties, and where they ended; and then he went on to say that "the command, discipline, and patronage of the army were controlled by the Crown patronage rough the Commander-in-Chief." So that with regard to the command, discipline, and patronage of the vast fora') which we are creating in these islands, we are told on authority that they are totally withdrawn from the control of Parliament or of her Majesty's Ministers ; that they are vested in an officer whom the Court may appoint and continue at his post through all changes of Administration, and who is not bound to recog nize the authority of the Secretary for War at all. Is Parliament, are the public, prepared to accept this doctrine ? Every other depart ment of the State has been subordinated to those advisers whom the Queen selects as represent ing most closely the opinions of Parliament. The Premier recommends Bishops and Deans for appointment ; the Chancellor advises the Crown as to who shall have a vacant seat in Westminster hall ; the Colonial Secretary is intrusted with the selection of Governors for our dependencies, and so on. Furthermore, in analogy wi h this rule, the First Lord of the Admiralty dispenses the patronage and watches over the discipline of the Navy. All these personages are rnemtars of the Cabinet, and directly responsible to the Parliament in which they have seats. They may be called on at any time to defend an act of questionable pro priety. But if the theory of General Peel be accepted,—if it be true that the Crown may appoint a Prince of the Blood, and give him the " command, patronage, and discipline of the Army, with complete immunity from all Parliamentary interference, it is difficult to say in what respect this country differs from the military monarchies of the Continent. In old times, when there was no standing army, or a very small one, the bounds of prerogative might be less strictly defined, and the Crown ke intrusted with the power which is now arrogated. But now that the British army is _ e a very large and powerful force, it seems to us the duty of the Legislature to de t t er mine inorea_ccl rarely the position of its Chief, and to bring him under that constitutional control to which itt everyd It other functionary has in his trunsuhn alluding l t ic) im may be thought that probable eventualities, buwtestiallestatesmen haVe'to provide for improbable eventualities. The ques tion whether the arm y shzll b e a force constitu tionally governed is one independent of indivi duals, and we ought to legislate, not with the character of any particular personage before our eyes, but with a view to the permanent settlement of a great question. True, then, our principle, that the House of Commons should assert a more immediate and active control over the national forces, we cannot but rejoice that the resolution of Capt. Vivian last night met with its approval. THE LATE CAPT. SIR W. PEEL.—On Monday muffled pella were rung at the parish church of Bury, on the tidinz; rbaching that town of the death of Capt. Sir W. Peel, who died on the 27th April at Cawr.pore, of small pox, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. LORD CANNING. Earl GRANVILLE said it would no doubt be in recollection that in the debate on the Onde pro clamation, the noble earl at the head of her Ma jesty's Government expressed with great warmth bits ' respect for Lord Canning. Their lordships were doubtless aware that, at the end of a protracted debate in another place, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, amidst loud cheers, made the announcement that a telegraphic de spatch had been sent to Lord Canning expressing that, in the present state of difficulties, he would receive the support of the Government. Language had also been used during the debate by other members of the Govern ment, though not members of the Cabinet, which created the impression that Lord Canning would not receive much support. Ile might complain of the language of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in a post-prandial speeob, which would form the subject of discussion that evening; but he congratulated the noble earl on the choice he had made in the successor to the noble earl who had lately retired from the Board of Control. (Dear, hear.) Ue (Earl Granville) thought it but lair, if such promise of support to Lord Canning bad been despatched it should at least be made public. It would be of the greatest importance that such an intimation was made known in India. The question which he wished to ask war, whether there wouldibe any objection to produce the communication alluded to by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and also whether there would be any objec tion to produce at the same time copies cf the votes of confidence agreed to by the Court of Directors of the East India Company on the policy of Lord Canning The Earl of DERBY said, with regard to the tendered support of the Government to Lord Canning, it had not been offered for the first time oh the occasion spoken to by the noble earl. If the noble earl would refer to the despatch sent to India on the 24th March, he would find it laid down distinctly that in the event of Lord Can ning pursuing the course of policy then entered upon, he should receive the support of her Majesty's Govern rn.-nt. (Clear, hear, hear.) The proclamation of Lord Canning was disapproved of iby the Government because it was thought to be in opposition to his former policy. The only communication which had taken place with reference to the promised support of the Gover: merit was contained in a telegraphic mes sage which be (Lord Derby) had despatched as a per sonal communication, on the resignation of the noble earl (Earl of Ellenborough), which was sent off on the 12th, to overtake the mail of the 10th of last month. As the communication was of a private character, be did not think it would be pos sible to lay it before their lordships, but with respect to the production of the votes of confidenee of the Court of Directors to Lord Canning be had not the slightest objection, and that document had been laid on the table of the other house last night. SECOND READINGS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the following bills were read a second time :—Stearnes Charities Nlaidstone Gas ; E s rl of Fif e ' s Estate ,-Manchester, Hyde, and Motteratn Roads ; Met ro p o lit an B oard of Works; Liverpool Approaches ; Beeselsleigh Road, and Ware, Hadham, and Buntii gford R a il wa y. THIRD READINGS. On the motion of the came noble lord, the following belts were read a third time and passed :—Vauxhall bridge Road, Staffordshire Potteries Gas, Sufferance Wharves, Stoke Fenton and Longton Gas. THE EARLDOM OF SHREWSBURY. Lord REDESDALE brought up the report of the Committee of Privi!eges ' who had come to the conclu sion :that Henry John Clic:twill, Earl of Talbot, had n ale out bis title to the Earldom of Shrewsbury (Hear, bear.) Lord CAMPBELL said he en' irely agreed with the result the committee had arrived at. (Hear, hear.) The report was ordered to be laid upon the table. MR. DISRAELI'S SPEECH. • The Earl of CLARENDON then rose to call the at tention t f their lordships to the speech recently delivered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Slough. He should not have felt constrained to take notice of this speech if it merely contained the opinions of the right hon. gentleman, expressed at a meeting for the amuse ment s f some holiday friends ; but grave charges were contained in that speech, which ought to receive elooi deti• n, and there were observations in it which ought to be cleared up. He should confine himself to Mr. Disraeli's observations upon our foreign policy. The first remark of the right bun. gentleman had reference to the imminence of war when the late Government went out of office. There was not a particle of truth in the state ment, and he (Lord Clarendon) in his place in Parlia ment gave it a flat contradiction. (Hear.) The right hoe. gentleman was in possession of official documents which must have made him cognisant of the real facts of the case. It was due to his late colleague to deny the allegation of Mr. Disraeli; it was equally due to the Emperor a the French to rebut them. (Hear, hear.) Up to the moment when the late Government left office our relations with Fiance were of the most intimate and confidential kind. (Hear.) On leaving office, he;(Lord Clarendon) had placed every paper in his possession in the hand, of the Earl of Malmesbury. He was careless what the right lion. gentleman might say in London, but had certainly been curious to know what effect his observations in the country might have on the public mind. It appeased, however, that after his speech at Slough neither had prices risen, nor had there been a panic. (Oh, and a laugh.) The Earl of DERBY...You mean that prices had not falh n. (Hear, hear.) The Earl ofiCLARENDON—Yes. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) On Friday night Mr. Disraeli repeated his in sinuation with regard to the imputed imminence of war, when he said that if Lord J. Russell had consulted Lord Palmerston and not Lord Clarendon, he world have bad light thrown upon the subject. (Hear.) Mr. Direaeli also asserted that shortly before the late Government went nut the French ambassador had ominously left this coun try. (Hear) The fact was that M. Persigny bad for some time had leave of absence, but had not availed himself of the cove until the last moment. Bat he (Lord Claren don) was not quite sure that when Count Pereigby did leave he bad not received assurances from the new Go vernment, which had not subsequently been fulfilled. These statements of Mr. Disraeli were made in the ab sence of Lord Palmerston. Last night Lard Palmerston attended in his Mace, when Mr. Disraeli admitted that when the late Government went out, war was not immi nent. (Hear, and a laugh.) The Chancellor of the Ex chequer spoke of the " base and treckliog policy " of the lase Government with regard to France, and although he (Lord Clarendon) was desirous to let bygones be by genes, he could not allow this aspersion to go forth un coutradicted. But he would first emphatically deny the'. the Conspiracy Bill had been bronghtin in obedience to foreign dictation. (Hear) On the very first night of the se: sion the Earl of Derby had alluded to the neces sity of some measure for checking the hatching of con spiracies to assassination. The bill brought in by the Government fell short rather than exceeded the strin gency of the measure suggested by the noble earl. (Hear.) It curbed no liberties, and in no way trenched upon the rights of asylum. Moreover, it received the support of Mr. Disraeli. Besides, the Emperor of the Preach had distinctly stated that no offence was intended by Count Walewskes despatch, and it could not therefore be said that we acted under dictation. Count Cavour, who bad been referred to by some newspapers in this country sup porting thu present Government, as a more liberal Minis ter that, himself (Lord ClarendonN,took precisely the sam e view of the necessity of replying to the despatch as the late Government, and had made a verbal reply to the circular sent to the Sardinian Government. (Hear.) The vote which had turned out the late Government might really have been charged upon a " cabal," but it was ac cepted by the late Government as the decision of the House of Commons. Mr. Disraeli had spoken in terms of exultation for the promptitude with which the present Government had procured the release of the two engi neers, Watt and Park. He (Lord Clarendon) did not wish at all to detract from the merits of the present Ad ministrat.cn in that relect, but it should to remembered that the new Government had a status from which to remonstrate, which the late Administration bad not, owing to the true facts of the case not baying transpired before the change of Government. He entirely denied, however, that these men, although not released, had been neglected. (Hear.) Had the matter been so ar ranged that we could go with impunity into the Nea politan waters ? • The Earl of MALMESBURY—With perfect safety. (Hear.) The Earl of CLARENDON—But the song of triumph of Mr. Disraeli ought to have been postponed, however, uLtil it hadb een arbitrationascertained that proposed.th the Sing of Naples consented to were those been unable to find, from any source,w h ofothe right bon. o 4g (Lordent wcelarreenndotn romance like intriguers referred to in th p ch the gen tleman at and Slougbr,estof hie if s t p h e ae e te ch, h statement ) called upon the nob le lard o pp osite to state who tho se intriguers were that her Majesty's late Government bad been and-still were in league with to inconvenience her present Government. (Hear.) The most *e- Majes t Y' s En g lishmant hat - pegnant to every and generous and gentlemanly spirit that should animate every servant of the Queen, was the manner in which the right hon. gen tleman bad spoken of Lord Canning's policy in India— (hear) —as one always of massacre and confi sca ti on , i n opposition to discriminate amnesty, and in which the right hon. gentleman led the people of England to sup pose that it was left to her Majesty's present Govern ment to propose and enforce a discriminating amnesty with reference to the people of India, and that within four days after the receipt of Lord Canning's explana tory despatch, the right honourable gentleman expressed confidence in him in the House of Commons. In the whole annals of history he knew of no instance to re publications to , th in e compare with it. (Hear, hear,) H e (L ord Clarendon) considered pease o f Indiath er e than was nothingthese morem constant various editions and in a worse f orm, of the unfortunate secret despatch, which, so far from going out to India as a message of peace and conciliation, could only have the contrary effect in every part of India. The noble lord then referred to that part of the speech of the right hon. gentleman which stated that the policy of the Go vernment had met with the approval of the people of England and the admiration of Europe ; and, in the course of his remarks, took occasion to dissent from the statement, and passed on to that part of the speech which stated that for the first time since the days of Charles I. there existed a cabal which had nootherobject but to upset her Majesty's Government, and to obtain their ends in a manner the most reckless and deter mined. (Hear, hear.) He (the Earl of Clarendon) cone sidered it a most astounding statement, and Jest it migl t be supposed to refer to him, be stated to the house that h. had obtained, his information by the most constitu• tional means, and whenever he had received aay.letter SHARE MARKETS (This Day).

KING postponed the sec ond reading of the County Franchise Bill from to-morrow until Thursday, June the 10th. BREA.CII OF PRIVILES , E-RELEASE OF MR W. WILKES. On the motion of Mr. M. GIBSON, the order of the day was read for the consideration of Mr. W. Wilkes's petition Mr. M. GIBSON moved Mr. Wilkes's discharge from the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms in the usual form, and on payment of the fees. Mr. CLIVE regretted ths retractati in had not been so ample as the charge made. He had been informed that the learned counsel on both sides, engaged in reference to the railway scheme under the consideration of the committee, had stated that his conduct, as chairman of committee, was such that it was impossible for them to form any opinion, up to the last moment, how he would vote, and they one and all declared that such a charge as had been made &gains!: him was perfectly absurd. After some remarks from Mr. ELLIOTT, Mr. WALPOLE said there was a complete exonera tion of Mr. L'ive's conduct in the petition of Mr. Wilkes now before the house. He thought the hon. member might now rest satisfied that with the., petition before the house coupl.ed with the statement he had made rela tive to the opinion of the learned counsel engaged in the case, his condtrct had been entirely exonerated in that house, and would be so with the country. He thought the authority rind dignity of the house, the character of the hon. member, and the conduct of the petitioner in making his retractation had put the house in a position to allow Mr. Wilkes to be discharged in the ordinary way. He only hoped the hou:ie would not have the necessity of repeating such so:ues, which could only occur when parsons made imputations they could nct sustain, and vi•ltich ought never to be made. (near.) The motion for Mr. Wilkes's dhicharge wasthen agreed to. MEDreA.L PRA.CTITIONER,3 BILL. Mr. COWP il-Cnoved the second reading of this bill. The object of the bill was thretfold, viz., to este ash one uniform standard of education and qualification —secondly, to establish a registry of all duly qualified practitioners, and thirdly to abolish all local restrictions and place all duly qualified practitioners upcn an equal tooting throughout the country. The examination would be made by the existing medical bodies ; but the new council, elected by the dif vent examining bodies, to be created by. the bill would have the power of determining whether such an exami nation would be sufficient to justify the issue of a licence to practice, or whether there should be a second exami nation before themselves. The bill in no way interfered Kith the privileges of the College of Physicians. Mr. BLA.01( opposed the bill on aceount of its com plicated natu,e. Durisg the last three years five bills bad been introduced into the house, neither of which provided for the wants of the people. The present legis lation that bad taken pl ace on t h e subject ought to be re pealed, and rh e members of the medical profession allowed freedom of practice, and to make their way with the public the .same as the members of other professions. The motion for the second reading was then put, and declared tc be. carried. Mr. BLA.CIi obje-cted to the decision, as he had said "no" to the second readior. After some remarks from Mr. WALPOLE and the SPEAKER to tb o effect that the 114'n. gentleman did not sa y " no" at the right time, The motion for the second reading was declared to be carried. _ Mr. COWPER then moved the committal of the bil on the Bth June. Mr. BLA.CK moved its committal this day six months. Mr. BRA_DY urged that a change was required, and that the question ns most serioue eonsluerat medical reform demanded the of the bill had be ion of the house. The provisions ' discussed by all the medical societies in the country, and were approved of by them Mr. Wel.. 1.1. 3 0 LE before the question of medical reform . bad been Knee timeew o efore the house, but they had been unable to see their 2 clear as to the best proposition to be supported b yletn The. three bills before the house contasined some points worthy of adoption, and some the house ought 8 :lot to sanction.

After some remarks from Mr. • Cowrztt in reply, and from Mr. HADFIELD, Mr. BLACK withdrew his amendment, and t h e mo MEDICAL PROFESSION BILL. On the raotion of Lord ELCIIO, th© second reading of this bill wag withdrawn. PROPERTY QUALIFICATION BILL. The adjourned debate on going into committee on this bill was resumed. Mr. BENTINCK explained his reason for moving the committal of this bill this day six months instead .1 a similar motion on the second reading, from a belief that her Majesty's present Government, and the mem tiers of the late Government would have opposed it, and now dealt with the measure on principle and not on ex -36 diency. Ho considered a proper ty qualification esseu tial to the construction of the house, but he based his opposition to the measure because it should form part of a reform bill, and that the house ought not to be called upon to express an opinion on a partial measure of this kind. If the present law was defective, it ought to be amended, and not repealed. The evasion of the law was no argument against the continuance of a good principle. A qualification was necessary to prevent men from coming into the house who bad other duties to perform, and who would be open to corruption. If the house repealed the property qualification it would oe necessary for them to abolish also freedom of arrest, which was adopted to prevent trickery. And if they did that they would make that house a refuge for bank rupts and disreputable characters. He complained of the absence of Lord Palmerston on this occasion, as well as Sir George Grey, who, he (Mr. Bentinck) said, ought to be in their place in the house and support the opinions expressed three years ago, that the property qualifica tion was essential to the preservation of the constitu tional character of the house. With a reform bill im pending, it was not desirable to legislate on what must form a part of such a measnre. He wished to see some of the anomalies of the Reform Bill of 1832 got rid of, and he oiled on the members of the Treasury benches to support him, as in all probability they would have done, if they had been in cpposii ion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KER SEYMER card the practical working of no qualification for Scotland bad been to produce repre sentatives as respectable, wealthy, and talented as any who represented England. His experience. on election committees led him to believe that "qualification" was a snare to hon. gentlemen who sought the honour of a seat iu this house. He should be sorry to see another election under the present state of the law. He should euppert the motion for going into comn.ittoe. Mr. H. DRUMMOND wished to know what ad vantage would be gained by the change proposed ? lie considered the abolition of property qualification choull form a portion cf a comprehensive measure cf reform, and to be comprehensive it should touch the House of Lerds—(hear, hear) —by avoiding pauper peers, and the abolit:on of voting by proxy. (Hear, hear.) This measure was an attempt to separate political power from wealth, which, if adopted, would end in the universal destruction of property. (Hoar. hear.) Sir G. C. LEWIS considered the real security for the sociel condition of =inhere cf Parliament was to be found in the ordeal they had to undergo for gaining the suffrage of the house. The substantial qualification of members would be wholly untouched by this measure. Tile re peal of the hct would merely make a technical and for mil change in the law, and remove a gross scandal from their legi,lation. lie supported the ir..ewuro, beeatL:e it would put an end to pi falls for hon. members, which was a diszrace to the house. Mr. NE WDEGATE opposed the measure on the ground that it should form part of a general measure of reform. (" Divide.") Mr. D. GRIFFITII supported the measure. Mr. IiNIGHTLEY opposed the measure. The Go vernment did not oppose the bill, and ae it was one point of the Charter, he asked her Majesty's Government if they were prepared to support the other points of the charter also. Perhaps the learned Attorney-General could answer the question if universal suffrage would form part of the proposed Government Reform all. (Hear, and laughter) Allusion had been made to their being no qualification for Scotland, but it had no more to do with the question before the house than if the honourable member for West Surrey, or any other honourable member, walked into the house with only his shirt on—(laughter)—and urged in excuse for his conduct that trs,wsere and coats were not worn in Scotland. (Oh, and laughter, and Divide ) Sir M. FARQUHAR opposed going into committee. Mr. HENLEY considered this measure should form a portion of a reform bill, and as such a measure roust be brought forward, ha should vo e egotist the bill, 1 1 being opposed to bit-by-bit legiAstion. 'rue house then divided. The numbers were— • For going into committee 222 Against it Majority -113 The house then went into committee on the bill. On Clause 1, Mr. BENTINCK said the measure Lad received hero• tofore opposition from both sides of the house, and it was only owing to the change that had taken place in parties that the measure had been carried so far. He asked for an explanation from hon. gentlemen who occupied front seats on both sides of the Louse of the change in the opi nions on the measure, and asked them if they had changed their opinion on principle cr expediency Mr. WALPOLE defended the course he had taken in reference to this measure, and said he had acted on principle. In 1852, when L ,rd J. Russell introduced his measure of reform, the abolition of the property qualifica tion formed part of it, and after Mr. Suffield, then a mem ber of thehouse, introduced the smaller portion of reform and Lord Derby's Government having assented to the introduction of the greeter measure of ref )rm, he (Mr. Walpole) considered it was not right to refuse the in troduction of that bill. (Hear, hear ) It, how ever, was not carried, and last year the hon. and learned member for West Surrey took it up, when he (Mr. Wal pole) voted against its second reading, on the under standing at that time that Lord Palmerston wished it postponed that be might introduce a general measure of refertn which would embrace the question now before the house. He expressed no opinion then on the measure, and he contended ho was not open to the charge of change of opinion. The basis ofigrepresentation should be property, but by getting rid of the property qualification they would not meddle with that basis but abolish a nominal sham it was desirable should be no longer maintained. By the maintenance of this political sham they kept men of great ability, like Mr. Southey, from obtaining a seat in that house. (Hear.) Col. NORTH said the question was now in the same state as it was last year. (No, no.) Her Majes y's Go vernment had promised a reform bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W ALPOLE —No. We have it under consi deratic•n. Col. NORTH condemned the change of opinion that often occurred on a change of seats in that house.ille re ferred to what bad lately transpired in a court of law, where it was shown one of the body did not know where to raise 401., and asked if a person so situated was fit to represent any borough or county. He (Colonel North) considered freedom of arrest a most disgraceful privilege— (hear, hear)—and dishonourable to a body of gentlemen, especial y those to whom the interest, honour, and welfare of the country were confided. (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said a property qualification was an innovation of the ancient constitution of the house, and was introduced by an act of Parliament in the reign of Queen Anne. He hoped the right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State would pursue a similar course in re ference to another measure of the hon. and learned mem. ber for West Surrey, that would come before the house next week. Lord J. MANNERS denied that be bad changed his views on this subject. He defended his vote of last year on the ground that the measure was rejected on a question of time. He contended this measure would not interfere with the stability of our institutions. The opposition to this measure was a mere fight about shadows. After some remarks from Mr. HUNT, who withdrew his amendments on the bill, relative to the payment of election expenses, and the abolition of the freedom of arrest, on the ground of irregularity ; and from Mr. BENTINCK in explanation, Clause 1, the only clause in the bill, was agreed to, and the bill passed through committee, and was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee pro forma, for the introduction of amendments, and W 39 ordered to be re committed on Monday next. NISI PRIUS COURT (IRELAND). The ATTORNEY GENERAL for IRELA.ND ob tained leave to introduce a bill to appoint a clerk cf nisi prius for the Consolidated Nisi Prius Court in Ire. land. The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad. journed at 20 minutes to 6 o'clock.
