The memoirs of one who has filled a conspicuous position, both in the warfare of political parties and in the republic of letters, must always com mand the attention of the thoughtful and studious reader. If such a record is remarkable when it is written by another, at soma subsequent epoch, it is doubly interesting when the politietan and littera teur is himself the biographer ; when at the close of a long eventful life he looks back from the still ness and retirement of age and exile, on the tur moils and manoeuvres of courts and cabinets, on the agitation produced by those great political questions which seemed then as though they would influence the fate of nations, but which are now scarcely remembered save by the historian or the biographer. The early yeats of M. Guizet's career were full of startling events and social disturbances. They form a fitting subject for consideration and recollection, and the politicians of a less stormy time, and happier social circumstances, may find much to suggest and to teach in the struggles of a greet people for that freedom of constitutional government which, like childhood's glittering bubbles, seems always to vanish in their grasp. Whatever may be the rank among statesmen accorded to M. Guizot, there is no question that he filled an eminent post for a long series of years ; that he mingled in the busy strife of European politics for the greatest portion of a long life. He eaw the rise and fall of successive dynasties ; be watched the signs that indica'ed the fall of the great conqueror ; he: shared in the premature triumph of the Restoration ; he witeessed the sudden revulsion of popular feeling that welcomed the hero of the Hundred Days ; he anticipated the sudden extinction of the Imperial power ; he joined with heart and soul the government of the succeed ing dynasty ; he mingled in the discussions and dissensions that agitated the Chamber of Deputies ; under a change of Government he took a vigorous part in the Opposition, and he was one of the official deputation which presented to Charles the Tenth the "Address of the Two Hundred and Twenty one." At this epoch he closes this first volume of his memoirs, leaving for the opening of the second, the fall of Charles the Tenth, and the acces sion of Louis Philippe. All these events, these discussions--chronicled by one who mingled in them, and who, confEluently, if prejudiced by party feeling, is impressed with their vitality, and imbued with their prevailing spirit—are full of in terest, and not with Out historic importance to the reader of the present day. The work is rightly named—it is more an illustration of the history of the time than a history itself. It presupposes a knowledge of the plot of the drama, and an ac quaintance with the parts played by the great actors, but it tekes us behind the curtain and shows us the petty details, the animating feelings, the rivalries and animosities which are not allowed to display themselves on the public stage. M. Guizot himself will be more prominent in the subsequent portion, whets his career is better known to the English public. On the accession of Louis Philippe he assumed the office of Minister of the Interior, which he held fora very brief period. Subsequently, under Marshal &mit, he was Minister of Public Instruction, and at a later period he filled the London Embassy. His name is more families among us, though less favourably known, in his more respensible podtien when holding the port folio of Foreign Affairs. All these busy years and important offices will give ample opportunity to M. Guiz it t ) display his literary abilities. He may point the moral with the revolution of February and the record of his own and his master's downfall. But wbfo ever the vicissitudes of his career, or the want of elevation in his principles, he has filled a remarkable place in the political arena. He has combined the sircluons duties of an author and a statesman ; he has attained in both spheres of distinction an emine=nt rank. As such lie is entitled to the vetentioa of a succeeding geue ration, and his work assumes ari important; place among the biographies of the thy. As a literary work it is full of interest and talent, and shows the practised ability of one who , e pen has for so many years been the exponent and defender of his opinions. The following pass ige centaine much truth : " But in those social shocks there are deeper ques tions involved than the actors are aware of. The Hundred D..ys inflicted on France a much heavier evil than the waste of blood and treasure it had cost her ; they lit up again the old quarrel which the Empire had stifled and the Charter was intended to extinguish, the quarrel between old and new France, between the emigrants and the revolutionists. It was not alone between two political parties, but between two rival claims, that the struggle recimmenced in 1815, as it originally exploded in 1789 "Au unfavourable position for founding a Govern ment, and, above all, a free Government. A certain degree of txeiternent and emulation invariably exists between the people and the political parties, which constitutes the very life of the social body, and en conrag s its energetic and wholesome development. But if this agitation is not confined to questions of legisla Unit and the conduct of public aflairs.—if it attacks society in its very ba is,—if instead of emulation be tween parties, there arises hostility amongst classes, the movement ceases to be healthy, and changes to a de stroying malady, which leads ou to the most !amenable disorders, and may end in the dissolution of the State. Tue undue ascendancy of one class over another, whether of the aristocracy or the people, becomes tyranny. The bitter and continued struggle of either to obtain the upper hand, is in fact revolution, imminently impending, or absolutely declared. The weal has witnessed, in two great examples, the diametrically opposite results to which this formidable fact may lead. The contest between the Patricians and Plebeians held Rome for ages between the cruel alternations of despotism and anarchy, which had no variety but war. As long as either party retained public virtue, the republic found grandeur, if not social peace, in their quarrel ; but when Patricians and Plebeians became corrupted by dissen sion, without agreeing on any fixed principle of liberty, Rome could only escape from ruin by fsling under the despotism and lingering decline of the Empire. England presents to modern Europe a different spectacle. In Eng land, also, the opposing parties of nobles and democrats long b i c n o u n t t i e o I n t d ed of t f o o r r t u t h n e e s a u n p d r em w i a s c n y b otn ; , t e n t , e ybynaa hapcompya mutual compromise, and united in the common exercise of newer : and England has found, in this amicable understanding between the different classes, in this com munion of their righ a and mutual influence, internal peace with greatness, and stability with freedom." cog, ifzhraeti L lei:ag a uui disgust religion u e nna d ddt omhwnuoidttnhhaterr everything.acw world r r d e d a T I t m hht o The following extract gives a portrait of the author of " Lees Martyrs" : "Launched t e whole from infancy,nge o sins. attempted every career, aspired to every renown, tx ' capital defect,' said he himself, has been b austed Some, anti approached others ; nothing satisfied perpetual doubt.' m do . u d b e t.'A strange temperament in a man d -voted to the restoration Cha teaubriand had been a constant and a perpetual combat between his enterprises and his inclinations, his situa tion and his nature. He was ambitious, as the leader of th eli a party, and independent, as a volunteer of the forlorn hope • captivated by everything great, and sensitive even to suffering in the most trifling matters, careless beyond measure of the eon - non interests of life, but passionately absorbed, ou the stage of the world, in his own person and reputation, and more annoyed by the slightest check than gratified by the most brilliant triumph ; in public life, more jealous of suceass than power, capable in a particular emergency, ache had just proved, of conceiv ing and carrying out a great design, but unable to pur lsue in government, with energy and patience, a well ceuaented and strongly-organis e d line of policy. He possessed a sympathetic understanding of the moral ins pressiore of his age and country ; more able, however, and more inclined, to win their favour by compliance than to direst them to importaut and lasting advantages ; a noble arid expanded mind, which, whether in literature or potato, • ' touched all the exalted chords of the human soul, but more calculated to strike and charm the imagi nation than to govern nien ; greedy, to an excess, of praise •• and fame, to satisfy his pride, and of emotion and novelty as resources from constitutional weariness." 'I here are few in this country who will be prepared to dispute the truth of the following remarks OH the punishment of political offences ; " I have lived in an age of political plots and out rages., directed alternately against the authorities to WllOllll was in opposition anti those 1 supported with ardour. I have seen conspiracies occasionally un punished, and at other times visited by the utmost rigour of the law. I feelthoroughly convinced that in the existing state of f e eangs, minds, and manners, the punishment of death in such cases is an injurious weapon which heavily wounds the power that uses it fit safety. It is not that this penalty is without denunciatory and preventive efficacy ; it terrifies and holds back from con spiracies many who would otherwise be tempted to en gage in them. But by the side of this salutary conse quence, it engenders others which are most injurious!. Drawing Ito line of distinction between the motives and dispositions which have Incited men to the acts it punishes, it ktfles ill the sante manner the reprobate and the dreamer, the otineical mid the enthusiast, the wildlyambitious and the devotedly fanatical. By this • gross indifference it effsuds wore than it satisfies mural feeling, irritates more than it restrains, moves indifferent r pectators to p.ty, and appears to those who are intirested an act ( f war falsely invested with the forms of a decree of jestice. The intimidation which it conveys et first, siiiiibishes front day to day while the hatred and thirst of vengeance it inspires be- Ouse henry mere ieteese and t sear NlVe ; and at last the time arrives when the power which fanci.s iteelt saved is exp_.sed to the attacks of enemies infinitely more numerous a nd formidable than tht4e who have been previously disposed of. "A day will also come, I coufldeetly feel, when, for offences exclusively political, the penalties of banishment and transportatiere carefully graduated and applied, will be e ubetituted In justice as well as in fact for the punish meet of death. Mean wliile I reckon, amongst the most agreeable reminiscences of my life, the fact of my having I strenuously directed tree justice and good policy to this subject, at a moiaeut when both were seriously cone- promised by party passions and the dangers to which power was exposed. The work is written without undue bitterness or party spirit, and fills a vacancy in historical litera ture. The historic documents at the conclusion are valuable and important, and will be referrei to with interest. To all who look beyond the fleeting changes of the hour, who seek to read the problems of the present in the past, and to watch the ad vancement of civilisation and enlightenment over all the obstacles that prejudice and tyranny throw before them, to learn where a great people have erred in their progress whore wise and conscien tious rulers have failed, to all who wish to gain a thorough knowledge of the events of their own time —such works as this are full of interest. It will no doubt take its place, not among the ephemeral pro ductions of the day, but among the standard re cords in which able and eminent men have mule their confessions to posterity, have sought, with that eager desire for an honourable memory which has so much power over those who are raised above their fellows, to show how they have laboured i❑ the public service, how they have had to contend with opponents, with difficultif.s, and dangers, and to prove that, whatever their shortcomings, their errors, or their passions, they have left their im press on the history of their time. Tke Crisis in the .Punjab. By Frederic Cooper, C.S., Deputy-Commissioner of Umritsur. Smith and Eider. This work gives us a succinct narrative of the occarrencee in the Punjab during the revolt, from the 10th of May until the fell of Delhi. It traces the struggle from its earliest symptoms, and dwells especially upon the prompt and vigorous measuies which were taken by the authoi ities. Sir H. M. Lawrence, who has added fi o-h glory to an hon ourable name, is spoken of with the admiration and respect duo to the great qualities he displayed in a time of unprecedented trial. The author justly observes that had Hindustan been tranquil the events in the Punjab would have marked an era ' • but " in the presence of Ilindostan convulsed, and anarchy raging, the calamitiesof the Punjab, though individually terrible, its trials, though almost pre terhuman, seem absolutely dwaried.." The gene ral position of affairs at the outbreak of the reb.-1- lion are thus vividly described : Oa the morning of the 11th of May, the first intelligence of the revolt at Meerut and the massacre at Delhi was flashed to the seat of the Punjab Government at the ancient capital of Lahore. Notwithstanding the vague foreshadowings of disaster with which the events at Ber hainpore and at Barrackpore, the successive fires at various military stations, and other rapid and unmistakeable symp toms of wide-spread disaffection had clouded the public mind, there can be no doubt that the seizure of Delhi and its concomitant tragedies burst upon Anglo-Indian Society like a thunder clap. Under the full force of the first shock of so stupendous a crisis, something akin to a panic was produced. The least reflecting required no Daniel to interpret the dread symbols. The hot weather had set in. Territorial expan sion a nd aggrandizement had reached its extreme limits, while the force of European troop: had dwindled to its ex treme minimum. India was weaker by two cavalry and four infantry European regiments. Cholera bad decimated European troops last year, and their vacancies had not been filled up. In Bombay, the European force was not nearly up to the ordinary peace establishment. The first layer of civilization had hardly been spread over Oude ; in the capital of which was but one single European regi ment. The Bombay army was half composed of Poor bcahs. The Persian treaty had scarcely boon ratified, while the inflammatory proclamation of the Shah, calling on all the faithful to oust the treacherous tribe of the British, was fresh in the memory of every Mahomedan in India. De icate negotiations were still pending with Dost Mahomed at Kabul ; and the lives of the gallant Lumsden and his party seemed hanging upon a straw. From Delhi to Calcutta lay a clear field fur mutiny and insurrection. The sepoy army.had been intoxicatea with their sense of power. Every heart prayed, though few dared hope, for the Christians scattered over that boundless area. Every one anticipated the enormities that might occur. The silence which followed from the abrupt stoppage of elec tric telegraph communication, was oven more oppressive than the after budgets of dismal tidings, and added to the gloomy forebodings. The vagueness, the immensity, the closeness of the peril, exaggerated alarm. Such were the feelings at Labors. The tidings from Delhi occupy a prominent pl ;co, and the difficulties of the besiegers are represented as formidable. The treachery of the natives employed is shown to have been a source of great perplex ty and disappointment. The bra liant exploits of the British army, and the cheerful courage displayed by officers and men under all disheartening delays and privations, are spcken of merrily. The promptitude and decision of the measures adopted by the authorities in the Pun jab are shown to have been, under Providence, the means of preventing a long cat dogue of crimes and misfortunes, such as wer e too fr equent where weak or fearful har.ds held the reins of gove.n merit. The work professes to be nothing more than a fai - hlul description of the troubles of the time in one particular loc dity, and to show hove they were dealt with. It was written, we aro told, in the spare half-hours of leisure snatched from the pressure of official duties, and the various facts which have been placed at the disposal of the writer constitute its chief merit. From the cir cumstances of its composition, and from the plaits and straightforward manner in which it was writ ten, it will prove a valuable assistant to all who are desirous of acqiriring an authentic knowledge of the recent events in India. The Ballads of Scotland. Edited by William Ed mon4..ne Aytoun, - D.C.L., author of " Lays of the Scottish. Cavaliers." 2 vols. Blackwood, Edinburgh and London. If anything could enhance the delight with which lovers of their country's minstrelsy will regard the work before us, it would assuredly ba the fact of its introduction to the public under the auspices of so able and efficient an editor. Professor Aytoun could scarcely have chosen a subject more congenial to his tastes, or more consonant with his literary tatquirements. In the introduction to these volumes, a clear and comprehensive account is given of the design of the editor, and of the man , ner in which he has put that design into execu tion. He explains fully and f,.irly the progress made by previous collectors in the task he here undertakes ; he renders a willing t►ibute of acknow ledgment to those who " have lent him their aid, or supplied him with information during the pro. gress of this work ;" and therefore the most ceu simioug can hardly find cause it,) cavil at the result of his labours. This will prose a valuable addi tion, in the form of a standard vr,rk, to the com pilation of any library. New Friends. A. Tale for Children. By the author of " Julian and his Playfellows." Parker. This is a most desirable li tle book tor young persons, who meet with a ple.ising tale to amuse them, while the moral it conveys cannot fail to be beneficial. It is written in a simple style, and at the same time an interesting manner, aid the author does not commit the mistake which is pre valent in this class of stories, of rept esenting one child a 3 a piece of perfec ion, and another had in everything. George Lewis, with all his faults, pos sessed some estimable qualities, which, under fos tering influence, might at last lead to tin forma tion of a fine character. Fiederica is &so well drawn as an over confident and self-sufficient child, who thought herself batter than the rest of her playmates. It is a satisfaction to meet with so attractive a production dedicated to the service of the young, on whom to bestow a word in s.ason can never be labour thrown away. THE PERSIA AND TILE QUARANTINE LAWS IN A STERICA. The attention of the British House of Commons has been called to the proceedings had in this city some weeks ago against Captain Judkins, of the steam-ship Persia, arising out of his strict obser vance of the quarantine laws of this State, and out of the offended pride of a petty custom-house offi cial. One of the representatives of the British Government iu Parliament has promised that the attention of her Majesty's Ministers shall be given to the subject, and the English papers have taken up and discussed it, so that in all probability the affair will nct be allowed to rest where it is. The cir cumstances of the case are so recent, and were so fully detailed at the time, that it is perhaps unne cessary to recite them at length. They are briefly these :—The steam-ship Persia, of the Cunard line, which came into this port on Tuesday night, had been, on her last precedin g arrival here, bo arded at quarantine and placed for a time under the direction of the quarantine officials. NVlliie iu that condition one of the boarding officers of the Custom House, named D en y se, visited the ship, and after making his inspection was about to return to his boat as usual, when be was informed by Captain Judkies that, the vessel being under the operation of the quarantine laws, he could not leave witboat the permission of the health officer. The federal official, who was pro bably as ignorant of his duties, and as unfit fir his position as the large mass of such officials usually are, was quite indignant at the idea of hi s freedom of action being interfered with, although Captain Judkins directed his attention to t: .e fact that he himself and every person on beard his vessel were fore d to bow to the rules and restrictie ns imposed by the quarantine laws, and that those laws superseded for the time being all others. The inspector haviogbe:n thus detained on b and for a few hours, unlit the Pet sla was dis charged from q uarantine, smarting under the sense of imaginary indignity etre, ed to his person and position, longed a complaint against Capt. Judkins h a d him arrested aed brought before a police ma gistrate, and forced him to give bail to answer the charge o f false imprisonment. An official corres pondence between Mr. Cunard and General Cass followed. Capt. Judkilis te4u , nedwith his vessel to Liverpool, and the publication of the facts con nected with his arrest has led to intorp,-11ations in the British Parliament and to criticism by the Eng lish papers of the anomalies between our State and Federal laws. Daring the absence of the Persia the matter came before the grand jury of this c in the shape of a bill of indictment against Captain Judkins, and that body came within an ace of find ing a true bill against the captain for his strict ob servance of the laws of the State. But fortunately for the character of that body it happened to have among i!s members a gentleman well-known in maritime and commercial circles, and one who is practically acquainted with the quarantine laws of all countries. This geatlemau, Capt. R. Glover, by his intelligent cross-examination of the witnesses for the prosecution, exhibited the frivolousness of the charge, and at the same time showed the maces sity of having the quarantine laws of each State re cognised by the general Government. The bill was ignored by the grant! jury. The conduct of Capt. Judkins was virtually approved by this finding, and a salivary and, we hope, useful lesson was read to the official whose sense of outraged dignity gave rise to the proceedings. But the main point stilt remains unsettled, and must so remain until Con gress pass some general law r•-?cognising the validity and superseding force of the quarantine laws of the several States. Every man of common sense must see the absolute necessity of quarantine laws being treated as supreme. o.herwise it is idle to at tempt to have any quarantine at all. Even as it is, our national vessels pay due observance to the quarantine laws of this and other States, as was instanced by the case of the Susquehanna the other day. But while thus the efficacy of these laws is practically acknowledged by the general Govern ment, a petty officer of the Custom-house under takes to disregard them, and has some legal ground for doing so in the absence of any general legisla tion on the subject. It is due to commerce, it is due to our self-respect, it is due to inteinarional comity, and it is due to the proper carry lug out of our qua rantine system that this defect in legislation shall be remedied as speedily as possible.—New York Herald.

PARLIAMENTARY CONIMITTEE—(THIS DAY) The committee met this morning, in Room No. 1. The members present were Mr. Kendall (chairman), Mr. Ackroyd, Mr. Cubitt, Sir J. V. She&y, the Hon. J. Percy, Mr. Raupell, Lord John Manners, and Sir J. Y. Buller. Mr. Bazalgette, engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works, examined by the chairman. I have rnsieie some experitnents relative to the plan of burning gases arising from sewage since I was !alit before the com mittens. Some years ago Mr. Gurney made an applica tion to the Commissioner of Sewers, to try some ex periments relative to the burning of the sewage gas. The result was unsatisfactory. On Friday last I sent fer Mr. Gurney's assistants, in order to carry out cer tain experiments with his furnace at low water. Some thing prevented us that day, but en the Saturday follow• ing myself and Mr. Hawkesley saw the furnace, and gave directions that all communication with the sewers and the furnace should be cut off. The dampers and flaps were all closed preparatory to commencing opera tions. On examining the sewers in connection with the furnace, we found a downward current towarks Buck ingham Palace, instead of towards the furnace. Scutt time afterwards we connected the sewers with the fur nace, and without the eye of the steam jet we found a current of 441 feet per minute, which was afterwards increased to 462 feet per minute. We then ex amined tie sewer, and there found that there was a flap in it cutting of the communica tion of one part of the sewer with the other, so that it was impossible for the air to be drawn into the ventilators near Buckingham Palace. As soon as the flap was raised the accumulated gases caused an explosion in the clock tower. The chimney is very de fective, and so is its communication with the sewer. While we were conducting our experiments on Tuesday we found the furnace was consuming coke at the rate of eight chaldrons per day ; but this might be attributed to causes connected with the experiments. Making allow ances for that, I have put down the coke consumed per day at four chaldrons ; and for the 1,500 miles of sewers I calculate that it would require 237 furnaces,the cost of coke for each would be 876/. per annum ; and, taking the estimate of four chaldrons of coke for each, it would coat 201,8371. per annum for coke alone. Each of the furnaces, I estimate, would cost 20,0001. to I have made no calculation of what the scheme would cost, for the outlay of coke appearing to me to be so enormous, I feel convinced that the plan could not be carried out with any satisfactory results. By Mr. Ackroyd—l am the engineer to the plan pro posed by the Board of Works. I estimate the cost of the plan at 2,400,000/. Tne interest on the outlay of that sum would be 80,0001. per annum, in addition to which the cost of deodorization would ainountto 40,0001. The success of the plan depends upon whether the sew age put into the Thames a; Barking Creek is brought back to the metropolis. Lord John Manners—l think we had better confine ourselves to consider one thing at a time. The ques tions ju , t answered do not apply to the plans we are now irquiring into, and I think the questions had better be struck out. Afser a few words from Mr. Ackroyd, the questions relative to plans proposed by Mr. Bazalgette were omitted. Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney, re-examined—l consider the experiments made by the last witness to have been conducted under the most unfavourable circumstances, and that my furnace has not had a fair trial. The whole sewage of the metropolis would give off about 500,000 cubic feet per day. Three furnaces with shafts similar to the Victoria Tower would be sufficient to cousurne tha gas causal by the whole sewage of the metro- By Mr. Tite—Mr. Bazalgette's experiments were con ducted in a most unfair manner. He aeerned to be un favourable to the plan from the first. By Sir B. Hall—l did not go to see whether the taap referred to by Mr. Bazalgette was open orshut. I had nothing t) do with it. I coul d not g et at it. My duty is confined to ventilating the Houses of Parliament. By Mr. Roupell—l 'c onsider Mr. Bazalgette an in it . terested party. I don t think necessary that the ex periments should be repeated, bat before any satisfactory result can be arrived at it will be necessary to have the opinion of disinterested parties. Mr. Woodcock , engineer to the Board of Woods and Works, examined by the Chairman upon Mr. G urne y' s pl a n--I consider t he experiments of Monday last to have been carried on under the most unfavourable cir cumstances —so unfavourable indeed, that no satisfac tory result, as far as I can judge, could be arrived at. I only speak of the experiment s o f M on d ay l ast. Mi.. C. Scott, civil engineer, was examined. His evi.• d e , ce was strictly confined to currents of air through certain sewers. Mr. Kelly, clerk of the works under Mr. Gurney, examined by the chairman—l was present when the ex periments were made on Monday. A good fire was kept up-5 chaldrons is usually consumed per diem. That is all that is allowed, so no more can be burned. In OW. mating a consumption of eight chalda ns per diem Mr. Bazalgette bad done so upon a calculation that there would be constant burning without any alternation of heat and coll. Tne committee shortly afterwards adjourned. LLOYD'S SUIPPII4I/..—(This Day.► LO:zDON, July J. Wind this day at noon, S.W. ; light breeze and very fine.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at fivo o'clock. Lord LANESBOROUGH presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenters of Leicester in favour of legalis ing the marriage with a deceased wife's ester. The Earl of DONOUGLIMORE presented similar petitions from Trowbridge, Downton, Devizee, and Limply Stoke. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. The Earl of A LBENIA.RLE gave notice of his in tention to move an amendment in the 56th clause of the Government of India Bill. The Esil of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from the East India Company, against the Go vernment of India Bill. The noble eat' said he did not concur with the prayer of the petition. Tne Earl of DERBY said, in risiug to wove the second reading of this bill, it was a source of great regret to him that the task had not devolved upon the noble lord (Edeuborough) who eat below him, whose great knowledge of the affairs of India so eminently fitted him for the duty. But hie noble friend being no ongsr a member of tne Government, it bad become his duty to state, as shortly as possible, tee main principles of the bill now oefore them. A. great deal of the interest that at present attached to the bill was no donut owing to the lengthy ditcussions which had taken place upon the provisions of the measure in its passage through the other house; and he regretted teat it had come up at eo late a period of the session to their lordship.' house. In the first place be could not but think that the title of the bill might be regarded as a misnomer, for, though it proposed to provide for the better government of India, yet it was evident that better government was to be carried on in India itself. The bill did not pretend to deal with all those different subjects, which for some years to come must engage the atten tion of Parliament. It did not deal with the finances., the revenue, or the admission of the natives of India to office, and other similar questions ; and although Parlia ment would doubtless feel it right to lay down principles with regard to those important matters, still be was convinced that the lees there was of interference on the pact of Parliament, the letter it would be for the happiness and tranquillity of India. (enema.) In the c6inmenctuient of the present session of Parliament the leteGovernment announced their intention to legislate for India. His opinion then was that teat was not the time for ouch a step, yet that opinion was overruled, the House of Commons having decided that a bill should be introduced. When the late Government vacated office the present Ministry took up the question. They nce,rdiegly brought in a 511!, and found, upon inquiry, teat it would be more convenient that: to mottle the previous bid in committee. Before, however, that bill came to a second reading, they con sented, at the suggestion of Lord J. Russell, to submit a series of reeuluttone. It was but justice to the HOUSE! of Commons to say that the resolutions luid before them had beets di.cus•ed with the greatest patience and temper and with an entire abseitco of party feeling, and the re suit had been that a measure had been sent up which it was the unanimous wish of all parties iu the House of Commons should pas, their lordshipe. [LEFT SPEAKING HOUSE OF COMIVIONS.—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Tile Earl of Ef,s's EAa.te, 11,;Iroyd's Estate, and Sir BerjAmiu Estate Bills were read a third time and pas,eJ„ SUPPLY. The house went iii:o supply.

CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION Acr CONTIN UANCE BILL, Oa the motion for going into committee on this bill. Mr. V. SMITH complained it was not merely a con tinuance bill, because it c :stained a clause sanctioning the payments for the conveyance of voters to the poll. He considered they ought only to pass a continuance bill at that late period of the session, and not introduce a new prlnciple. Mr. WALPOLE said there were many conflicting de- visions in law respecting the legality of such payment 3, and he thought it right that advantage should be tatsen of the bill to settle many doubtful points, such as dtfiu ing what was a member at an election ; secondly, to alter the remuneration to be paid to tee ejection auditor : at pteseut it was by poundage on the firet 1/. spent, and he proposed to pay him 101 . up to 2001. expended, and a poundage aher ; and thirdly, to [settle the question of conveying voters to the pull. After some further remarks in which Col. French, Mr. Rebow, Mr. B.oitieck, Lord H. Vane, and Mr. elibson took part, The house went into committee on the bill. On clause 1, V. hicia related to the payment of the tra- velling expenses of voters, Mr. D. GRIFFITHS moved an amendment prohi biting the payment of such expenses. It would open the door to wholesale bribery. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD supported the clause. Mr. A YRTON considered the law made it illegal to pay voters' travelling expense:, but not to provide ease, yances, and he thought such a clause as this would meet the difficulty :--‘• Teat it shall be lawful for any person to provide conveyance for any voter for the pur pose of an election, but it shall not be lawful to pay any money cr give any valuable consideration to a voter for or iu respect of his travelling expenses for snob purpose." Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE said the clause legalised travelling expenses, but tee decision in " Cooper v. Slade" laid is down that if the expenses weie paid to the voter on condition that he voted in a particular manner it would be bribery. It was, therefore, necessary to avoid future dillieulty, that the clauses should go further and specify that such a payment should not be con sidered telbery. Mr. WALPOLE proposed to alter the clause to the effect that it should be lawful fnr any candidate to pay the cost of conveyance bona fide incurred in taking a voter to the poi:, and that eucu payment should not be deemed bribery. He should oppose the amendment be fore the c ,mmittee. Mr. GREER. considered it woud be better to omit the clause altogether. The difficulty might be got over by multiplying the poliivg places. After some remarks from Mr. H. BAILLIE relative to the conveyance of voters to the pull iu the Orkneys, Mr. V. SMITH contended this clause would open a wide door to bribery. They had declared a 53. dinner ticket to a man who gentrally expended only ls. for his dinner bribery, and there would be as much bribery in the excitement of a Mali riding in a first-class car riage who elways rode in a third class carriage, or a man's riding in a carriage that always rode iu a cart, as in the dinner ticket. He contended the principle ot paying travelling expenses was a very important one, and ought not to have been introduced into a mere con tinuance Alter some further discussion, in which Mr. Brady, * Mr. Lowe, Mr. Whiteside, and Mr. Byng took part, Lord H. VANE urged that conveyances should be provided for voters, otherwise pour voters would, in a rnsjoriey of instances, be virtually disfranchised. He thought the suggestion of the hon, member for the Tower Hamlets would meet the d,fficulties of the case. (I-fear, bear.) After Borne futther discussion Tne committee divided. The numbers were— For the amendment Against it 165 Majority —95 The amendment was lost. Mr. STAPLETON then reoved an amendment that it should be lawful to convey electors to the poll in coun ties, but not in boroughs. Mr. WALPOLE opposed the amendment. If it was necessary for counties, it was in many boroughs, and he knew of no place where cabs and omnibuses were so much (mph)) ed for conveying voters to the poll as in the metropolitan boroughs. (Hear, hear.) After some discussion the amendment was negatived. Mr. AYRTON moved an amendment in accordance with his suggestion at an early period of the discussion, as given above. His object was to make the rich seek Liter the pour. Mr. KNATCHBULL-LIUGESSEN moved in clause 1, line 15, to leave out all alter " pay," and insert " travelling expenses to voters resident anove one mile from their place ot polling : Provided always, that such payments shall Lot exceed one shilling per mile to every such voter for any distance less than 10 miles, and sixpence per mile for every additional mile : provided also, that if the distance to be travelled by any such voter exceed ten miles, and there be avail able railway accommodation, the payments for travelling expenses shall not exceed the maximum rate of fare chargeable on such railway for such distance." ' Mr. WALPOLE considered that it they imposed any limits, as proposed by the second amendment, they would only increase the difficulty of the case, and con,idering the amendment of the bon. and learued member fur the Tower Hamlets to be better than his own provision and that of the second amendment, ho had no hesitation in adopting it. (Hear, hear.) After come discu3eion, in which various hon. members tcok part, Mr. CRA.UFURD opposed the cl ause.
