7 11/ °NEI' MARKET AND CITY NETS. CITY, Two o'CLoCK. The market's for Foreion. and Colonial Produce durin g th e last few days aye not shown much ani- Illation. At the public sales of tea the biddings were inactive, and prices were barely sustained. Sugars were in limited demand at former values, and in the refined market dried goods realised about previous quotations. Coffee remained inactive, with little change to record in quotations. The dealings in rice have been more numerous, and an upward tendency has prevailed in prices. Salt petre has been almost neglected ; but in the tallow market more activity has been apparent chiefly for Present delivery, and prices have shown more firm ness. A steady business is reported in the general discount market, and the inquiries at the Bank are also rather numerous. Ample accommodation, however, can be obtained at the current quotations The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con tinued considerably active, 7,000 bales having been disposed of at previous rates. In the Railway Share Market rather more business was transacted, but prices were decidedly lower. At the meeting of the Northern Assurance Com pany yesterday, !a dividend of 71 per cent. per annum was declared. A meeting has been convened of the Colonial Bank to receive the directors' report, and for the general business of the Corporation.

Viscount DUNGANNON gave notice that on the 22d of June he should ask whether there was any truth in the report that on a recent occasion a number of dockyard la bourers presented themselves at the Thames Police-court, representing they could get better wages at Cherbourg than they could in this country, and therefore asking for passports to Franco with a view of obtaining employment there. MASTER AND OPERATIVES BILL. This bill was read a first time. LIGHT WEIGHT RACING BILL. Earl DERBY presented a petition from the Jockey Club disapproving of this bill. He would reserve to him self his objections to the bill, until he had heard on what grounds the noble lord introduced the measure. Lord REDESDALE then moved that the bill be read a second time. Having referred to the petition presented ba the noble earl, he said he should like to know whether the objection of the jockey club was to the principle of the bill or to the minimum ho had fixed, viz., 6 stone. He had waited for a long time to ascertain whether the jockey club would take the subject up with a view of effecting some improve ment in the system, but that not having been done ho felt it his duty to pro ceed with this bill. Its principle was to raise the average weights carried by race horses at the present time, and to prevent the gambling incidental to what were known as light weight handicaps. Its system was greatly on the increase, and ought to be immediately put,, a stop to. To illustrate this, he referred to the race for the Chester cup. Twenty-five horses started for this race, of which only five carried more than seven stone. The highest weight carried was nine stone. Eight horses carried six tone, and the rest carried very light weights indeed, Many of their lordships familiar with horse-racing would see the evil of this, and he thought they would agree that some legis lative enactment was really necessary. Ho had received numerous letters expressing hopes that his bill would pass, and amongst these memorialists a number of trainers, who pointed out the dangers of the present system, many boys being put upon horses, by which their lives were endangered. •He could not think that it was thought desirable that such a system should longer exist, and he only asked their lordships for ono moment to reflect upon the cruelty and danger of putting a mere child who, with bridle and saddle, weighed but 4st. 41b. on a powerful horse, what contiol could such a person have over such an animal. Another objection to the employment of boys, was the bad influences they were subjected to. The next point to which he would direct the attention of the house to was that the more the light weight handicap system came into practice there was a sensible deterioration in the breed of racehorses, and, added to this, the gambling that was permitted, he might really sa.) encouraged, by the legislature, on the ground that racing improved the breed of horses. He could not agree with such opinions; on the con trary, he thought that which tended to create gambling was bad, and certainly could not be deemed worthy of support The jockey club could have dealt with the subject if they choose, but as they had not done so he thought their lord ships would be of opinion that something ought to be done, but that something must be done by legislation. The bill had been nearly five months before the house, and as there had been meeting after meeting of the jockey club and no notice whatever had been taken of it he was justified in proceeding with it, especially as it was approved of by such eminent trainers as John Scott, Rogers, Sly, Bartho lomew, Taylor, Boy de, and others. The Duke of BEAUFORT opposed the bill. Ho said it was nearly the unanimous opinion of the Jockey Club that the bill would act injuriously towards a great number of people, and do no good to racing. The Earl of WINCHELSEA rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tms DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'cloCk. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Hay Railway Bill WAS read a third time and passed. The Caitbness Roads Bill, and Manchester and Melford Railway Bills were considered, and ordered for third reading. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Metropolitan Local Management Act; against the Sunday Trading Bill; against the provision in the Census Bill, by which persons making returns should be required to state their religious profession, &c., &c. ANNUITY TAX ABOLITION (EDINBURGH) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, The LORD ADVOCATE suggested that five other Scotch bills on the paper should be referred to the same committee, who should report to the house at six o'clock. Mr. STIRLING wished to know when the learned Lord- Advocate intended to proceed with the Titles to 'Land (Scotland) Act, and whether he would give a week's notice before proceeding with it ? The LORD-ADVOCATE said he could not give any such notice as that required by the hon. member, and he p.-.mooed with the bills as soon as possible. Mr. HADFIELD objected to the complaints which had been made in some places in reference to English n.onibers taking a part in the discussion of Scotch bills. (" No, no," from the Scotch members.) With respect to the bill, peti • tions against the Annuity-Tax Bill had been signed by no less than 15,000 or 16,000 inhabitants of Edinburgh, and he considered the measure one of the worst that had ever been introduced on the subject. He objected to the bill that it partook of a political character, as well as being oppressive to the religious convictions of a large number. He was much surprised that the 'hon. member, and other hon. members, should have supported it in the face of such petitions as those to which he adverted. He contended that the effect of the bill would be to create apathy and indifference in regard to religion in Edinburgh. The motion was then agreed to, and tile house went into committee on the bill. Clause 1 was agreed to, with some amendments. On clause 5, Mr. BLACKBURN proposed an amendment, vesting the property of the local churches in Edinburgh as well as their administration. Mr. BLACK strongly objected to the amendment, on the ground that it would deprive the inhabitants of pro • perty which they themselves acquired. The LORD ADVOCATE also opposed the amendment. Mr. MURE considered it absurd to suppose that the commission in their management would deteriorate the value of property. The house then divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment Against it Majority The clause was agreed to. • On clause 6, an amendment wasiproposed, the object of which was to have one. tenth of the sittings reserved as free I sittings. -38 After a short discussion, the amendment was agreed to. Alterations for the purpose of securing the rights of the Town Council in reference to their seats were also agreed On clause 8, Mr. BLACKURN moved an amendment to the effec that the sum proposed by the bill to be pa id to clergymen should be raised from £4,200 to £5,000 a-year. - The LORD . ADVOCATE said that the amendment went so deeply to the root of the principle of the bill that he could not assent to it.. It was originally proposed to make an allowance annually for thirteen ministers when it was to terminate • The Town Council, for 15 years, however, preferred the , imposition of a permanent allowance, and it was in conformity with this view tha t t he of £4 200 sum , was inserted in the bill. Mr. MACKIE thought the proposed increase was too large, but that if the hon. member had asked for the allow ance to be raised to £1,500, he thought his proposition was entitled to approval. Mr. BLACK entertained a different opinion, and thought the allowance should be reduced to £4,000. If the amend ment were passed he certainly would take the sense of the house as to the reduction which he proposed. After some discus.-ion, Mr. BLACKBURN said he did not consider that £4,500 a year would be adequate to meet the expenses, including £3OO a year for co llection. Ho would not, however, press hi s amendment in i t s original form, but would agree to the substitution of the £1,500 a year. 31r. HADFIELD said that the sum of £6OO a-year was considerably more than the clergymen of the Church of England received on an average, and he strongly objected to a sum of £3OO. There were 25,000 churches in England which did not cost the church estate a, farthing, and he roof of the luke- • thought it was a p mute feeling that pre vailed towards the Established Church In Scotland that no person could be found to collect the tax without payment. The houss then divided on the amendment as altered, and the numbers were — For the ame ndment ............ 68 Against it ............................ 89 Majority .............. .......... —3l The amendment was accordingly lost, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 10, Mr. MURE moved the following amendment :—To ada " And provided further that the tenants or occupiers of any property liable in payment of th e increased police assessment shall be entitled, and they are hereby autho rised, in making payment of the rent of the said property, to retain from such rent the amount of such increased assessment, except in the case wh3re the said property shall, prior to th e passing f his act, hays been let for a term of years, in which case the said increased assess ment shall be borne by the occupier till the expiry of the period fo r which- the said pr o p er t y was let." . The hon. and le arned member stated that the object of his amendment was to throw the burden of such assessment on the proprietor as a more equitable arran g e me nt. A proprietbr who purchased his property subject to a portion of this tax could m future not complain. Mr. BLACK oppos ed the amendment, which he thought would be most unjust to the proprietor. After some discussion the house divided, and the num bers were — For the amen dment 53 Against it Majority The clause was th en agreed to. On clause 11, The LORD ADV OCATE moved to add ,4 Provided that nothing in this act contained shall authorise the com missioners, or any other creditor in any of the said annui ties, to interfere in any way with the administration, disposal, or control of the property, funds, revenues, or income by this act assigned or disponed in security of the said annuities so long as the same shall be regularly paid ; but the rights in security hereby constituted shall only become operative and available in the event of failure in the payment of the said annuities." The amendment was not pressed and the clause was , agreed to. Some other clauses were agreed to, and the chairman was ordered to report progess. The house then suspended the sitting, but resumed at sia o'clock and was [4Ert oiTTING,I .ETT_E-(TRIS EVENING).

There ave two very good meetings to be cele brated th is week—the one at Hampton and the other at Nerwton. The opening day at Hampton has but ui're items, whilst there are seven set down for Thursday. The Claremont Stakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added, for two year (Olds, ought to be credited to the account of Lord Stamford by the aid of Little Lady or Lava. There are but sixteen left in the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, two miles, and, with one or two exceptions, they are a moderate lot. Conscript holds the majority of the horses safe by his running at Ascot, and I expect to see him win easily, Kinnersly and Claire taking my fancy next. For the Stand Plate Lady Peel and Codicil look well, but not knowing anything of their owners' intentions, I would advise them to be let alone. The Great Newton Handicap, one mile and a half, has 200 sous added, which is certain to tempt a large field to contest it out of the forty-nine weighted. The starters will probably number fourteen or sixteen. Duneany, Bst 121 b, Twilight, Bst 21b, The Argosy, Bst lib, Master Begot, 7st 81b, Maid of the Mist, 7st 41b, Cheesecake, Est 41b, Moor Cock, Est 41b, Trovatore, Est 21b, Eltham Beauty, 6gt 11b, the filly by Prime Minister, out of Butterfly, sst 131 b, Professor Dick, sst 131 b, The Swift, sst 81b, Be Quick, sst 41b, and Ladybird, sst 41b, are aT.I reported as fit to run for their engage ments. I fancy Rising Sun, Cheesecake, the filly by Pzime Minister out of Butterfly, and Red Eagle in the order named. Jack Spring ought to beat Ripon for the Trial andicap- In the Makerfield Plate I cannot see anything to recommend before Miss Julia, though she may find some trouble to dispose of Lansquenet. The principal race on Thursday is the Gold Cup, for which thirty-five horses are entered, among which Rameses and the Butterfly filly are so well in that I anticipate the success of either, though they may find a dangerous opponent in one of Mr. Dawson's, Professor Dick, perhaps. The 'Visitors' Plate must fall to Cheesecake, and the Garswood Handicap to either Zmobia or Horace—the latter for choice. The Golborno Park Stakes, half a mile, has eighteen two yr olds, most of whom have run in public. Lady Clifden, Folkestone, and Ladybird are the best of these, and one of them ought to prove victorious. The Lyme Park Stakes, five furlongs, for two year olds, will be affected by the running for the Golborne Park Stakes, there being a good many engaged in each. As it stands at present, I shall Tote for Lady Clifden or Lady Bird. The Manor Plate, five furlongs, may find Brandy Ball not far from the mark, if the severe work he has lately undergone has not worn him out, the next best being Eleanor., A FRESHMAN. IVIPERIAL PARLIAMENT ♦ HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) HARBOURS OF REFUGE. Lord RAVENSWORTH wished to ask the noble duke at the head of the Admiralty whether he was aware of any intention on the part of her Majesty's Government to carry out without further delay the recommendations of the Royal Commission on harbours of refuge ? The recent storm had caused tremendous losses in the merchant ser vice, and especially on the north-east coast, where the ex istence of harbours of refuge was most to be desired. He believed he was speaking within bounds when he said that during the late awful gale not less than 300 vessels were wrecked, mainly on the north-east coast of this country. Tho phenomena of storms were now so well understood that he believed intelligent commanders who were provided with good barometers might , become sensible of the approach of a gale in time to make for the nearest harbour of refuge, if such au asylum were provided for them. The Luke of SOMERSET said it was customary to give notice of any question of importance, as that rule had not been observed on the present occa-ion, he was not in a position to give the noble lord an answer to his question. REFRESHMENT HOUSES AND WINE LICENSES BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Lord bIONTEAGLE oxpresecd a hope that this mea• sure would lead to an alteration of the whole system 01 licensing. He wished to know the amount of drawback that would be payable on the wine in this country, at the time of the passing of the resolutions of the House of Com mons ; also, whether any negotiations were sroing on with a view to obtain from Spain and Portugal reductions of duty on our manufactures ; and also whether the revenue derived from malt and hops was likely to be affected by the increased consumption of wine. Lord DENMAN remarked on the opening to fraud which the bill would afford by multiplying the number of so-called refreshment houses. He anticipated that the increased facilities for the sale of wino would seriously affect the con sumption of beer. The result would be to alter the charac ter of the people of this country, and introduce habits of idleness and dissipation. He moved that the bill be read a third time that day six months. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE supported the amend ment. The bill ought to have been separated into two parts —one imposing new license duties—the other relating to police regulations; but the Chancellor of the Exchequer had refused to do so._ ' " ' • Lord REDESDALE said there could be no doubt what ever that this was a supply bill ; and no doubt whatever that several clauses of the bill were such as this house, if it stood on its strict rights, might reject or amend, such as, for instance, the 40th and 41st clauses, which related to police regulations. But he for one was not prepared to support any such course of proceeding in this case, thinking as he did that the regulations were salutary ones; at the same time he thought it right, as the subjeCt had been mentioned in the house, to call the attention of the Government to the point. Earl GRANVILLE said it was very far from the intui tion of the Government to interfere with the right of their lordships to entertain or discuss any of these questions. It so happened, however, that the clauses in question had been introduced at the suggestion of a Secretary of State in the late Government, and to the most important amend ment tLat had been suggested he thought a majority of their lordships were not disposed, to agree. The house then divided upon Lord Denman's amend ment, and the numbers wore— Contents Non-contents -3 The bill was then read a third time and passed. SIR JOHN BARNARD'S ACT, &c., REPEAL BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) MR. LEATHAM AND THE BOROUGH OF WAKEFIELD. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from Mr. Leatham, the late member for Wakefield, setting forth that he had given full and correct evidence before the commission ap pointed to inquire into the corrupt practices alleged to have taken place at the election for the borough of Wakefield when he was a candidate, and that he had received a certi ficate from the commissioners which should have exempted him from any legal proceedings in consequence of the said evidence, notwithstanding which criminal proceed ings were being instituted against him. The petition further stated that such a course was against all principle of justice, as 12 months had elapsed since the alleged offence with which he was charged had taken place, and praying the house for protection. The hon. member read the petition, which was rather a voluminous document, and it was ordered to lie on the table. THE REFORM BILL AND THE PAPER DUTY. Mr. BRIGHT, presented a petition, numerously signed, from the city of Gloucester, praying for the passing of the Reform Bill, and against the conduct of the Lords in re jecting the bill for the repeal of the paper duties. GARIBALDI. • Lord J. RUSSELL laid on the table of the house fur ther correspondence relative to General Garibaldi. NATIONAL GALLERY. ' Mr. G. C. BENTINCK moved for return of all pic tures purchased for the National Portrait Gallery, specify ing the price paid for each picture, the date of purchase, the name of the person from wh om purchased, dered. GAME LICENSES. In reply to Mr. KEKEWICH, The CHANCERROR of the EXCHEQUER said that he proposed to leave the law as it stood with respect to rabbits, and it was not intended to introduce any alteration other than that stated in the resolutions. CORPORATION OF LONDON REFORM BILL. In reply to Mr. E. JAMES, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that no intimation of an intention on the part of the government to withdraw this 11 had been given, and he heard of such for the first time from the hon. and learned member for Marylebone. (Laughter.) It was his intention to proceed with the bill. WITHDRAWAL OF THE REFORM BILL. On the order being read for resuming the adjourned de. bate on going into committee, Lord J. RUSSELL rose and spoke as follows :—ln rising to address the house upon this question I must in the first place say that it is impossible for the Government to accede to the motion of my hon. friend the member for Rye (Mr. Mackinnon), and it would - be most inconvenient to the s house itself, if, in deciding upon the question of a re form bill, they were to fix a time to which it should be post poned, or if they were to commit themselves to any such motion as that before the house. I trust, therefore, my hon. friend will not persist in his amendment. But I have a further statement to make to the house with respect to proceeding with this bill, and in doing so I beg to say that it is not my wish to excite any hostility in this debate, or to refer more than in passing to what took place the other evening. On that evening my noble friend stated the case in favour of this bill being passed and against any delay, and I do not wish to abate a single word from what my nobl friend said on that occasion; but having said this much it is not necessary for me to repeat any arguments used on the former occasion on the part of the Government. It is known to the house that 2,50 members have declared for the postponement of this bill during the present session. I say the postponement of the bill, because if we had taken a dif ferent line, and said we go on not only with the English bill but with the Scotch and Irish bills, it would have been said as strenuously, and to my mind with greater force, "You cannot expect to carry these three bills, but you may carry the English bill ; but if you attempt to carry the three bills for the representation of the people, it is obvious there will not be time for the performance of the duty." I say there were 250 members who voted for the affirmation of the proposition of my hon. friend, and that being so the Government thought themselves bound to consider seriously the positipn of the question, and what was their duty to the house and the country. I must say that I think if we are not of opinion that we can succeed in carrying this bill through both Houses of Parliam nt in the present session it would be idle, and perhaps culpable, to go into committee for some four or five nights, and make the delays which would arise in committee a reason for abandoning the bill. (" Hear, hear," from the Ministerialists.) The position, then, is this : We have not on the 11th of June gone into committee; that on the 7th of June there were 250 mem bers who voted for the postponement of the measure, and that there are some 60 or 70 amendments proposed for the consideration of the house in committee. It cannot be ex pected that all these amendments would be discussed. The question of the representation of the people in parliament is a very large one, and in the discussion of the bill before the house there is no great objection to the introduction of any topic immediately connected with the representation of the people, for the arguments upon one point of the bill bear upon another—as for instance those with regard to the franchise, the distribution of seats, and other subjects, though not contained in the bill, belong to the question of the representation of the people. It would, therefore, be a matter which must take a considerable time. But then if we were able to command all the time from the 11th of June to what may be presumed the time for the usual close of the session, I should then say that it was our duty to pro ceed with the bill, and even at a late period propose it kr the consideration of the other house of parliament. It hap pens however that there are other questions which must be considered, and some of them would be interposed during the progress of "this bill through committee. These are questions which have arisen very recently—questions with regard to supply, which depend upon the news received from China, and which puts an end to all hope that our dispute with the Chinese can be settled without hostilities; and, therefore, the house will have to consider what sup plies are necessary for the operations of the army and navy now in the Chinese seas; also the ways and means which May be required for obtaining those supplies. There is another question which my noble friend mentioned the other night, via , the question which will arise out of the consideration of the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the defences of the country, and no one will pretend that these questions arising out of the china war and those in reference to the defences of the country will allow of the Goverement postponing them, they being ques tions of great urgency and magnitude. Well, then, consi dering the question whether we should go through commit , tee with the Reform Bill, we came to the conclusion that though there might be a probability of our going through committee and obtaining the assort of the House of Com mons in the various amendments in the time to bo devoted to the measure, yet there is a further objection, viz., if we were not able to carry the bill into a legislative-act, it would not be fair to the House of Commons to ask them to decide any question which would thereby fetter their discretion, and then leave the question open for another year. Well, then, supposing that the measure could be passed through this house in the ordinary time of the session, it would not be possible to carry it in such a period as to go to the House of Lords and enable them to decide upon it. There aroso a question whether by any extraordinary means, instead of the prorogation at the usual time, it would not he possible to carry the measure this session; but I think it is evident that important as the question is, there is not that immediate urgency respecting it, and I may say there is not such a demand in the country at to justify the Government to re sort to an extraordinary step of that kind. (Hear, hear.) Such being the case, we have come to the conclusion which I will state to the house, viz , that it is not our intention to attempt further to proceed with the bill in the present ses sion, but I shall on the other hand propose not to proceed with the bill. I think I should hardly be justified if I did not refer to some other questions which may be noticed, and perhaps against which some protest may be addressed to the . Government. It maybe said that on the 4th June we asked to go into committee, and that if we had presked it earlier in the session wo should have obtained the opinion of the house upon it. But upon this point I must remind the house that the first question in the session is that in refer ence to the usual supplies for the army and navy, and the Government at a very early period this year brought for ward questions of the utmost importance, and not only of the utmost importance, but of the greatest gravity. We thought it our duty to conclude a commercial treaty with France, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed va rious measures connected with it, and which affected the finances of the country. These were very great questions which it would not have been right, according to our views, to have postponed to an indefinite time, because they were questions which, on account of their affecting the trade and industry of the country, it was necessary to proceed with without delay. Well, they occupied a very considerable time in debate, and I therefore felt myself compelled to postpone this bill until such questions had been passed through this house. There are other questions with regard to the usual supplies of the year, and which are not yet voted. The army votes have not yet been granted, and there are the whole civil service estimates to be discussed. It might be reason • able to ask for a vote on account, but it would not be rea sonable to postpone the discussion on these estimates be • yond the early part of July. Well, these questions would have interfered with the proceedings upon this bill, and made it necessary to ask for delay. But, sir, there is a still further question with regard to which I must say a few words to the house, and that , is as to the nature of the bill before us. I think it necessary to state that the Government were persuaded, and are persuaded, that, a reduction of the borough franchise is required for the future safety of the State aril the improvement of the representative system. (Cheers.) Many years ago, when 1 had to consider this question, there was a member of this house (Mr. Hume) who urged that six out of seven male adults were excluded from the franchise, and that among those excluded there were to be found men of intelligence and property who wore fully entitled to the exercise of the franchise. (Hear, hear.) The argument of the hon. gentleman made a great impression upon me, and inquiries were made as to who were excluded, and what was the character of the working men, and those inquiries convinced me that many of those men possessed sufficient intelli gence and integrity which qualified them for the exercise and to tho right of voting. But if that were the case then their continued and perpetual exclusion from the franchise would be an injury to them, and their addition to it must strengthen the basis upon which our representativei.it' u tions stand. lam persuaded more than ever before t.-at there are great numbers of persons who would exercise the franchise well and worthily, and, if admitted to it, that the basis of the representative institutions of the country would be strengthened and maintained. It is, therefore, sir, our intention at the earliest opportunity to introduce a bill for the reduction of the franchise, nor am I discouraged from saying this, because more than once measures of this kind have been obliged to be postponed. But measures of liberal principles which are in conformity with the opinions of the majority of the house have been frequently postponed, but when once they have obtained the assent of Parliament they have remained permanently enrolled among the statutes and institutions of the country. For a long time the sacramental test was required as a test for office, but no one would now think of proposing the re-enactment of that test. Then, again, the Roman Catholics were excluded from this house and from holding office, in consequence of an oath being required which they would not take, but no one would attempt now to pass a measure for the exclusion of the Roman Catholics. A Reform Bi ll was passed through Parliament, and no one would now thi n k of restoring the boroughs which were then disfranchised. And in the same manner I am convinced that when another reform measure has been passed through the houses of Parliament, for the purpose o f en larging the franchise , and extending it to per sons who are qualified and who have a right to vote, no one will think of disturbing that settlement or attempt to curtail the right so granted. (Hear, hear.) It is, therefore, with the utmost c onfidence that I look forward to the introduction of a measure for carrying these principles into effect. But before sitting down I must ask my hon. friend to withdraw his m otion, and on that b e i ng done I. will move that the o rder for going into committee be discharged. (Hear.) Mr. MACKINNON said in answer to the appeal made to himhe must cong ra t u l a t e th e h ous e and the country upon the settlement of this groat question. (Laughter.) He trusted that the powerful mind and valuable time of the noble lord would be better employed in carrying on diplo matte relations than in devoting them to this bill. The nobl lord might be better employed in settling the affairs of the nations of Europe than in sitting night after night in listen ing to discussions on the question of the franchise. He con gratulated the noble lord, and he trusted his efforts as their Foreign Minister would be attended with the great est suc cess. He also trusted that Englishmen in general would cordially congratulate one another on the determination of the Government ; that all recriminations would cease and be forgotten; and that all hon. members would be anxious to promote the business of the country and set their shoulders to the wheel in earnest, in order that they might make up for the lost time of the session in these fruitless discussions, I i
