THE_ STT N, LONDON, MONDAYI EVE NI I NO, AUGUST 10, VAPi We allude to the Fisheries (Ireland) Bill and the Exclusive Privilege of Trading Abolition (Ireland) 8711. Some such facilities for expediting the opera tions of the Legislature were absolutely necessary, so as to prorogue the Parliament within reasonable limits, and to preserve the RUSSELL Administration from being involved in a terrible accumulation of measures on the opeeing of the succeeding session. Every one recognises this fact, and perceives that some concession is requisite, if the conve nience of Parliament collectively and individually is to be consulted. The residue of the questions still un settled, and not expressly postponed to a future period, will, therefore, be submitted, in quick suc cession, to the decision of our rulers. Among these of the most interest we may particularise the pro posed reduction of the duties upon rum—a re4luction of sixpence upon the present duty of 9s. 41, leaving a duty of 81. 101 upon every gallon of that spirit. This proposition is to be introduced immediately b . s, , the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and, although we are somewhat surprised at the mincing character of the reduction, we are still dis posed to welcome it as a step—a diminutive one, no doubt—in the right direction. A vast number of questions intimately connected with the moral welfare, the sanatory condition, and the systematic education of the people, will be re served by the Ministry for the next session. The question of amelioration to Ireland will, in like manner, be left in abeyance. We are inclined to congratulate the country upon this delay, however irksome it may at first appear, because every matter will thereby be thoroughly digested before any defi nite plan of reformation be submitted to the Legis lative Councils. On Saturday we commented upon the first part of the new, regulations with respect to corporal punish- ment henceforth to be adopted in the army ; and while we expressed our uncompromising hostility to the lash, and our deep regret that the principle, even in its modified form, should still be maintained in the service, we offered suggestions which might pos sibly not be objected to by the conscientious sup- porters of the practice, and which might mitigate some few of the numerous objections to it. A more pleasing duty now devolves upon us in no ticing the means proposed to be adopted for the pre servation of military discipline, amid which, if found adequate for that purpose, may eventually lead to the total abolition of flogging. The Premier states that we can only hope to attain this great object by two modes : first, by the substi tution of some other punishment which is as effective, and which will maintain as high and complete a state of discipline as that which exists at the present tune; and secondly, by changing the moral feelings of those who belong to the army, so that other punishments, and other methods of government, will have a greater effect and produce a stronger impression than they do in the present state of the military service. The principal of these substituted punishments will be found to consist of a proper and well-regu lated system of imprisonment, with its various ad juncts of solitary confinement, hard labour, &c., &c To render this efficient, it must be peVecily executed and instantly applied : the common and usual public gaol will not be so advantageous in this respect as a military prison, tenanted by soldiers alone, and pre pared for their reception exclusively. A large pro portion of military crime, although demanding and receiving a severe punishment, may be wholly un attended with moral guilt, and it would manifestly ire most injurious to expose a man as yet untainted will crime to the pollution of daily intercourse with, and the probability of contamination by, the aban doned and profligate characters who are the constant inmates of the public gaols. There are now nine military prisons already established in the United Kingdom, viz., four in England, four in Ireland, and one in Scotland ; and for their good effect it is un necessary to seek any testimony beyond that of the Secretary-at-War, who while advocating the necessity for the continuance of corporal punishments, produced one of the strong est arguments against that necessity, when he stated, " that out of 4,276 prisoners confined in these military prisons, there were only 20 cases in which it was found necessary to inflict corporal punishment, the highest being 100, and the lowest 24 lashes, and of recommittals to prison the number had only been in the proportion of three per cent.; and he had it upon the authority of several military officers to state that they had received their men back from prison better men, and better soldiers, than when they left." If this be the truth, and we cannot doubt it, what an extraordinary improvement must this be on the old system. It is a well-known fact that, in 19 cases out of 20, the man who has been degraded in the sight of his comrades, who has been tied up, and had inflicted on him the indelible marks of his disgrace, has never regained his lost character, has become a reckless, good-for-nothing soldier, indulging in the most vicious habits and propensities, and generally suffering a repetition of the punishment over and over again. Now, if the object of punishment is the prevention of crime and the amendment of the offender, as we have ever supposed it to be, and not vengeance, surely the system which makes him a better man and a better soldier, and in which the instances of second punish meets are but three per cent. on their entire, must be tar better and more efficacious than that which ruins his prospects and makes him a disgrace and a reproach to the service, and destroys the probability, almost the possibility, of amendment. Forfeiture of pay and pension, increased drill, confinement to bar racks, and a variety of minor punishments within the power of a commanding officer, might be most ad vantageously resorted to, and would probably be found, in the majority of cases, quite sufficient for the preservation of discipline. There is one mode of punishment, however, so singular and ludicrous in its nature, that we would be unwilling to mention it were it not so strongly supported by one of the brightest ornaments of our country, whose intelli gence, foresight, and sagacity in peace have been no less remarkable than his services in war have been brilliant and glorious—who long since stood forward as the zealous and efficient advocate of his brother soldiers—who vindicated their characters from the reproaches with which they were assailed—who has ever ably opposed the assertion that the British soldier is of an "inferior class" in his country and less respectable in his character than the conscript; the unwilling soldier of other nations, and who in that feeling has most ably advocated the total aboli tion of flogging in time of peace, and the substitution of other and less objectionable punishments, while his reputation as an officer and strict maintainer of discipline (though not by the intervention of the cat), renders superfluous his assertion, that "If he thought diminished severity of punishment would produce slackness of discipline, he assuredly would not be the advocate of change." We allude to the hero of Meeanee and Hyderabad, Sir CHARLES J. NAPIER, who, in his admirable work on military law and flogging, p. 177, suggests the adoption of blistering the back as a punishment for drunkenness, the ter rible vice from which nearly all military offences have their origin. He states that in the only two in stances in which it was tried it fully and entirely succeeded : in one case the regiment had been in an infamous state—it had been in a distant colony." They had just returned to Guernsey; the cheapness of liquor made the soldiers drink hard; "the flogging was dreadful, and, as usual, without rpet. A new lieutenant-colonel joined. He did not inflict a single lash, and in three months the in specting general officer returned the highest report of the state of the corps. The theilis that produced this extraordinary change were sending the drunkard to hospital, where he was put to bed, his back blis tered, and himself fed on bread and water for a week, and then discharged cured ; his comrades laughed at and ridiculed, in place of sympathising with and pitying him, and the effect was complete ; and the Gallant General well exclaims, " after witnessing this can I believe the lash to be necessary ?" After this strong testimony, surely it would be worth re. peating the experiment. Everything that tends to the second mode by which corporal punishment may be abolished, viz., the im provement of the moral condition of the soldier, and inducing him thereby to the m ,intenance of a better and more orderly behaviour, will be hnilt:d with the greatest delight : in this respect the statutnent of the Premier is very gratifying. Hia Lordship announces that rowards Jun bees established for good condo*, and also increased pay after a certain number of years ; that since December last no less than thirty commissions have been given to private soldiers in the army, and also sums furnished them for the out lay necessary on the acceptance of those commis sions ; 100 soldiers' libraries have been establi:hed, containing 60,000 volumes, and a normal school is projected, for the purpose of providing good regimen tal schools; savings' banks are now encouraged in several regiments, in place of being discourdged and sneered at, as was formerly the case; and his Lord ship bears the strongest testimony as to the good effects of a plan originally suggested by himself when at the head of the establishment at Chelsea, viz., the allotment of small gardens to the men, in the cul. tivati.m of which they took the greatest delight, and from which they derived some small profit, who before that time had been constantly in public-houses. The propo'al was, as usual, sneered at by those who thought that no useful suggestion for military government could come from a civilian, and yet it proved eminently successful. Can there be a more powerful evilence for the advantage, the ne cessity of teaching the soldiers some trade, of pro viding some employment on which they may usefully employ their leisure hours ? The principle of reward must be put into activity-in a wise and generous manner, and its good effects will speedily be apparent. There are many, very many improvements, all of which would gre3tly conduce to the same end, but which our space to-day forbids a mention of ; many, however, will be found in the valuable work to which we have already referred, which may be studied with the greatest advantage by every philanthropist, by every man desirous of doing justice to his military brethren. Accounts received in England from Constantinople of the 22d ult., state that MEUEMET ALI has been treated with marked respect by the SULTAN. The Journal des Debitts, however, publishes a letter from Constantinople of the same date, which represents the reception of MEUEMET Au as cold in the extreme, and concludes by saying that no one can explain the reason for the SULTAN inflioting such humiliation on his illustrious vassal. The Piqmontese Gazette, of the Ist, says, " By a courier arrived from Rome, we receive the important news of the official nomination of Cardinal Glzzt Secretary of State both for Foreign Anirs and the Interior. Monsignors SANTUCCI and CANELLA will act as Under- Secretaries of the respective administra tions." In a letter from Leghorn, dated August 2, we fin the following :-- " Every ore here is talking of the audience which M. Renzi had with the Pope previeus to his departure from Rome. When Renzi was about to kneel, as is generally done when a person presents himself to the Holy Father,tbe Pope raised hint up, and presented him his ring to kiss. M. Renzi wish ing to express his sentiments of gratitude, his Holiness in terrupted him by turning the conversation on the eldest son of M. Renzi, whom he had seen while passing through Ri mini. The Pope also sprite of the manifesto published at that place, on the 23d tscptember, 1845, saying that it con tained many good things, several of which he proposed to carry into execution in spite of the opposition winch he met with, but added, that, with regard to the secularisation of the Papal Government, he did not agree with it, for it was enough that the benefit was effected without its being of any consequence whether it proceeded from a priest or a layman. The interview lasted nearly twenty minutes. M. Renzi ar rived at Rimini on the evening of the 25th, where he was received with strong demonstrations of joy from his friends and his fellow-citizens. A grand fete was to take place there on the 30th; all the inhabitants of the place, as well as of the surr , :unding country, proposed to take part in it, in order to inaugurate the new era, which, it is hoped, the railroads, the abolition of political commissions, and the arnne4y, may open to the Papal States." Accounts from Bologna of the 30th annoucce the arrival in that city of Messrs. GALETTI and MATTIOLI, who had for the last three years been prisoners in the Castle of St. Angelo. M. GALETTI had an interview with the POPE, at which he presented his HOLINESS with a memorial on the subject of law reform, with which the PorE was so pleased, that he sent him a medal of honour. His HouNEss has granted permis• sion to the docti of Rome to attend the scientific Con gress which is to be held next month at Genoa. The Prince DE JOINVILLE, who was admitted to pratique at Malta on the 30th, was to sail from Sicily on the Ist. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY, it appears is offended with Prince Louis NAPOLEON for not having made direct application to him for permission to visit Florence. The Courtier Francais says— " When Prince Louis escaped from Ham he wrote to Prince de Metternich to solicit from him the authorisation to pro ceed to Tuscany to his father. Not receiving any reply, be had a request made by one of his friends to the Grand * Duke himself. The following was his reply :—' It was not to Aus tria that a demand ought to be made in a matter which re gards me. lam alone master in my states, as the Emperor is in his dominions. Tell Prince Louis that if he desires to come to Florence he must address his demand to me, and I shall then consider what is to be done.' We can guarantee the truth of this account." Madrid journals and letters of the 2d have arrived The differences between Spain and Portugal were likely to be settled through the mediation of Eng land. The Spanish Cabinet no longer insisted on the extradition of the deserters. In reply to Baron DE R END urr, the Portuguese Minister, M. ISTURITZ denied that Spain had any hostile intention in con centrating troops on the Portuguese frontier, and that the moment the Portuguese Government re moved the Spanish refugees into depots into the in terior of Portugal, the Spanish troops would return to their quarters; that Spain had no intention to meddle with the internal affairs of Portugal, but that if any Spanish refugees crossed the frontier they would be driven back and pursued into the in terior of Portugal until taken. Air. BULWER has removed to a country seat at St. Isidro, but not, says the Eco del Com. , ..ercio, on account of his heaith, which is excellent. The same journal states that DON ENRIQUE is about to visit London. MADRID .I.3oLsA, Auo. 3.—The Three per Cents. were done at 33 15-16ths for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 221; the Four per Cents., at 211 9-16ths 3 and the Debt without Interest, at Q. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The elections are all over, and the Ministerial ma jority will be from 110 to 120. On this subject the Journal des Debuts says—" Out of 457 nominations. 289 belong to the Conservative party, and 168 to the Opposition. On the whole, the new Chamber contains at this moment 110 new Deputies-82 are Conservatives, 34 of whom were elected in the place of ancient Conservative Deputies, and 48 replace Deputies of the Opposition ; 28 belong to the Oppo sition, nine of whom were elected in the place of ancient Deputies of the Opposition, and 19 replace Conservative Deputies. The Conservative party ob- tained a double election, and the Opposition four. The Conservative gains 49 nominations, and loses 26. Thus the definite result yields to the Conservative party, in addition to the ancient majority, 23 nomi nations more than to the Opposition." Some dis turbances bad broken out at Perpignan, which were speedily suppressed. The Chamber of Peers assembled on Friday, and, having received the royal ordonnance constit u ti ng it a court of justice for the trial of HENRY, we n t i n t o a secret sitting, under the Presidency of the Chan cellor. The Procureur-General, M. HEBERT, and the Avocet-General, M. BRESSON, were present. The usual preliminaries were gone through, and the Duke D ECAZES, Count PORTALIS, Baron GIROD (de l'Ain), and M. IJAPLAGNE-BARRIS, were appointed to assist the Chancellor Duke PASQUIER in examining the prisoner. They immediately proceeded to the Cenciergerie, accompanied by M. E. CAUCHY, the registrar in chief, fur the purpose of interrogating JOSEPH HENRY. Lady HOLLAND, who is in Paris at the Hotel des Princes, is labouring under a serious attack of small-pox. The Journal des Chemins de Fer considers the crisis in the- share market of Paris to be at last terminated, and is only apprehensive that the re action in favour of the rise be too rapid, and raise scrip to an exaggerated price. The receipts of the Paris and Orleans Railroad during the week ending on the 4th inst. were 178,213 f, or nearly 18,000 f more than last year; and from the Ist January to the 4th inst., 4,997,346 f., exceeding by 959,000 f. those of the corresponding period of 1545.

The property which the proposed railway would take was not in the occupation of the Company itself, one portion of it was rented by Mr. Jackson, another by Mr. flare. There would be no difficulty whatever in crossing the exiting tunnel on the Manchester and Leeds Railway by means of another tunnel. By the standing orders they could raise their levels five feet, and even without doing so they could cross by the present levels in such a manner as not only Lot to injure the existing tunnel, but materially to benefit it, both by relieving it of the present superabundant weight of earthwork, and also giving it a much better ventilation by means of the open work upon which the rails would be la,d, and the shaft which would be sunk at the pro posed junction of the two tunnels, thereby creating au additional current of By the Earl of WicsLow—The proposed line was on an emba!il ment near the Hollingworth colliery.

BIDEFORD AND TAN' [STOCK RAILWAY.— (THIS DAY.) An adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this Com pany- took place this day, at No. 44, Finsbury-circus, for the purpose of registering a sufficient quantity of s'lares to decide whether the affairs of the Company should be wound up, and whether such dissolution should be taken ac an act of bankruptcy on the part of the Company, or whether t should be performed through the agency of the directorc. Mr. Brown took the chair. The CHAIRMAN briefly explained the reason why the shareholders had been summoned. and the piling commenced. It may not be improper to observe that, although the requisite number of shares have not as yet been regis • tered, there has not been a dissentient to the resolution that the Company should be dissolved, and that such dis. olution should not be estimated as an act el bankruptcy. By the prospectus it was provide•l that th ,, number of shares should consist of 26,000, :it 251. per share ; 20,000 of these have been allotted, and upon 18,600 shares 11. is. 6d. per share hes been paid.

WELSH MIDLAN D AND BRECON AND MER . Lovit2AI LIV AY COMPANY. NOTICE TO S,aiIIEHOLLIERS. The Provisional Directors ha re regretted their inability to make an earlier announcement to the CI lart:holders of the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr compan .1 es, but they found it imrossible in the first instance during the busy •Neason of the session of Parliament to get in the accounts, and wharf . the accounts were received, it be came necessary not only to Inver :Agate them, but to negotiate for a reduction of their amounts—l' hO arrangements into which these Companies he entered with o! Jier c”mpanies also rendered further negotiations necessary, and it ryas, moreover, obviously impractic able to suggest any plan for fir are operations until it should be as certained which of the varior ,s lines projected in the district would be ultimately sanctioned by P Tirliament. The result of the present ' session has been, that the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, and • edeNewport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway are the only lit,es • sanctioned by Parliament, connected with the Welsh Mldland .t_ These lines complete an unbroken railway route from Newport, on the Bristol Channel. to Birkenhead and Liverpool. The various other lines, which co peted for this occupation of South Wales, have all been rejecter A„ The Directors lv,w. ; the satisfaction to state that they have, by agreement, stewed an interest to the extent of one-third of the capital in the N er:port, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway; this interest is eqw:+l.'to 9,008 shares of 251 with 21. 10s. paid, which will be apportimYal 'amongst the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Shareholdi,rs 'in proportion to their interest in those undertakings. Other, neigotiations are in pro gress w hi c h may i ssue i n secur i ng some r urttier fulvantages. If such should be the case, the directors wil l '. .carnediately give A further option to the shareholders, but they do '4ot think it right to delay this announcement. The Parliamentary struggle has closed too recently to allow ar rangements to be perfected between the several companies interea ed in railway accommodation to South Wales. There can be no doubt but that the interests of the Newport, Abergavenny, and liereford, and of the Shrewsbury and Hereford lines will lead them to promote an Extension from Hereford to Swansea; whilst the. London and Birmingham and Midland Companies will equally dcare the same communication, extending the narrow gauge in connexion with their trunk hues. Before, however, entering into any binding engagements, or incur ring any expense for promoting In the next session a line from Here ford to Swansea, the Directors considered it due to the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Shareholders, to give to every one the option of withdrawing, before they transferred his interest into the new Company. In ascertaining the amount of expenses incurred by the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Companies, many accounts arc still unavoidalsly under negotiation. The Directors can only at pre sent return 15s. per share on the Welsh Midland, and 7s. 6d. per Share on the Brecon and Merthyr, and will not be able, until the un settled accounts are disposed of, to ascertain the further balance to Ise divided; they are, however, assiduously - devoting themselves to this work, so as to wind up the affairs with the utmost dispatch and economy. To enable the Shareholders freely to exercise their opposition, the Welsh Midland Company and the Brecrn and Merthyr Company, have been duly dissolved under the powers of dissolution contained in the Subscribers' agreements, and the Directors request before the Ist of September to he put in possession of the wishes of each Share holder on the following options:- Ist. —To exchange one Welsh Midland, or two Brecon and Mer thyr shares, for one Newport, Abergavenny, and Ilercford Railway share upon which 2/. 10s. has been paid, to the extent of his propor tion, being credited ss. beyond the 21. 10s. towards the future calls. 2d.--To transfer the remaining shares into a new Company for promoting a line from Hereford to Swansea. _ . . 3d.—To receive back the 158. per share on each Welsh Midland, and 7s. 6d. per share on each Brecon and Merthyr share, with such further sum as may hereafter accrue. . . Each Shareholder is requested to El up and return the subjoined circular, accompanied by his Scrip, and a receipt for such Scrip will be forwarded to him in course of post.

On Wednesday next, according to one of the arbi trary regulations of sport, grouse shooting will com mence; on Saturday last the Sugar Duties' Bill was passed through the Commons House of rarliement. This evening the measure will be introduced to our legislative aristocracy ; their decision is already more than conjectured by the community ; the protectionist opposition has announced its determination not to thrust itself in the way of the somewhat dangerous scythed-chariot of free trade. Little better than a week now remains of perhaps the most memorable session of the British LegiSlature—a session that has witnessed the annihilation of a potent monopoly and the championship ofits previously helpless victims; that has established thatempire of untrammelled commerce which had for centuries been regarded as little less chimerical and impossible thaniPLATo's Republic, Sir THOMAS MoßE's Utopia, Sir Pump SYDNEY'S tirc,adia, or Lord BACON'S Atalantis. Besides this, the session of 1846 will be ever illustrious and ever beneficial to the population of the United Kingdom by being an example to arouse the interest and excite the emulation of the remotest posterity. L will...be an example of the real nature of political consistency, of the innate dignity of forbearance under vituperation, of that forgetfulness-of-self, which is the noblest characteristic of a true and patriotic statesman, of the necessity of being open to conviction and of risk ing the malignity of a disappointed faction when ever reason and experience combined to direct the mind upon a better and more enlightened policy. This Parliamentary campaign will, moreover, attest to after generations the period in which the people of England first recognised the moral potency of their will, the period when our legislators were not ashamed to confess that the popular sentiments had modulated their prejudices ; when the oratory of a self-elected association and the rhetorical pleadings of a free press enlarged the mind of the public for the reception of gigantic principles ; when the seeds sown by Sir WALTER RALEIGH, ADAM SMITH, Lord HOLLAND, and others, were ripened under the auspices of Sir ROBERT PEEL, RICHARD COBDEN, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL. It will be the most me morable lesson ever given to mankind for their guidance in commercial legislation. It was customary on the opening of this session to ridicule the Parliament for its redundant squabbles, and the Ministry for its intolerable procrastination. The Easter holidays had arrived before anything de finite had been done towards the settlement of the enormous question at issue. People began to tremble lest the Parliament should degenerate from an active assembly of legislators into a mere counterpart of a Chancery-lane debating society. That tendency, however, towards speechifying gradually disappeared ; the flame of passion, which had ignited the mental lamps of so many hitherto sdent Members, in time consumed itself and glimmered away into the socket. The gentlemen who had so recently practised rhetoric from bElow the gang way, were now incontinently devouring but tered bread and whitebait at Blackwell, or investi gating widgeon pies at Goodwood. The deliberative assembly of the nation was suddenly relieved of a tor. bulent and intractable party of representatives, and the immediate consmenee of the alteration was a material improvement in the conduct of public. busi ness. As the commencement of this session was re markable for its slowness in arriving at any decision, its termination will be, and indeed has already been, conspicuous for the rapidity, and yet the decorum, with which Bills are introduced and accepted. Not only did the Sugar Datieslßill obtain the final : anction of the Commons on Saturday, but two other Bills of very considerable importance were successively read a third Ito Aila pottil Witiroilt a dinviitient nice, BATTERSEA PARK.

DRAINAGE OF LAND. Mr. Gazzise brought up the report on this Bill. STANDING ORDERS. Mr. HU9IE rose to move the resolutions, of which he had given notics, for the amendment of the standing orders, which are to the 1o:lowing effect:— " I. That public general Acts should be prepared for each of the several sulatlects of police and watching, of waterworks and F e wag e, of paving, of improvement of towns and regu'ation of buildings, streets, and roads, of markets and fairs, of cemeteries, o' bridges and ferries, of harbours, docks, porrs, piers and quays, of canals, rivers, and navigation, as recom minded in the report of the Select Committee on Private Bills, embodying, as far as possible, the suggestions th •reof. " 2. That, as recommended in the said report, provision should be made in the preparation of 'hest public general Ac's, by which parties, desiring to avail themselves of them, beafforoed the means of carrying their projects into execution under the authority and supervision of one of the public bosrds or departments, without the necessity of applying to Parliament, on a principle similar to that which has been already carried into effect by the Act 3 and 4 Will. 4, c. 90, for Lighting Towns in England; by the Act 9 Geo. 4. c. 82, for Lighting Towns, &c. in Ireland; and by the Act 3 and 4 Will. 4, c 46, for Police in Scotland. "3. That with the view of an immediate saving of time and expense in the proof of standing orders, in the ensuing session of Pariiament, the proof of standing orders, now taken before the Sub- Coaimitte,s, shall be taken before an officer or officers, to lie appoireed by Mr. Speaker. and such officer shall com mence his sittings for that purpose on the Ist day of January, 1847. " 4. That the standing orders of the House should be im mediately revised, as regards the proof of the standing orders for private Bills to be given before such officers appointed by Mr. Speaker. "5. That it would be productive of great advantage in private legi,lation, if the standing orders of the two Houses of Par liament, relating to private Bills, could be assimilated. "6. That when any city, borough, parish, company, other parties, invested with the towers, or acting under the provisions of any existing local Act or Acts, shall apply to Parliament for a new Bill for new and amended powers and provisions, with reference to the same matters, it shall be im perative on the promoters to send their new Bill, together with all previous existing Acts then in force on the same sub ject within the cit), borough, parish, or district, to the Board of Trade, which sh:•ll report to the House whether, in their opinion, the new Bill should be allowed to proceed, or whether all the existing Acts should be repealed, and the powers and provisions of such repealed Acts, together with the new or amended powers and provisions sought fur, should be conso lidated, to the intent that only mne local Act shall be in force at the same time, in the same place, with reference to the same object. " 7. That after the next session of Parliament no private Bill for power to establish waterworks and sewage, police and watching, improvement of a town, &c., shall be introduced into this House until the public board or department, to which the class of Bills to which it belongs has been referred. shall, as recommended in the said report, have ma , e a previous local examination by competent, and responsible inspectors and public officers, at the expense of the promoters of the Bill, in a mode analogous to that adopted by the Tithe, the Inclosure Com missions, &c., and that these public boards should be empow ered to appoint, and employ such public inspectors and public officers. "S. That the recommendation in the said report, as to the taxation of the costs of parties promoting or opposing private Bills, be also adopted ; and that a proper taxing officer should be appointed, and a scale of fees, costs, and charges be autho rised and published by Mr. Speaker. 9. That the taxing officer shall present to the House, at the commencement of each session, an account of the total amount of the expenses for promoting or opposing each Bill taxed and sanctioned by him during the preceding session, distinguishing the amount paid as fees on each Bill to each of the Houses of Parliament, the amount for witnesses and other expenses, and for professional services." _ _ _ The adoption of these resolutions would have the effect of eradicating the great evil of the delay of business which was now so grievously felt, and which by the mass of private busi ness that was brought before the House was become insuffer able. It would also have the effect .f saving the time of no less than Mt} 'Members during the whole period of the session. During the present session it had frequently occurred that as many as two hundred witnesses had frequently been examined on one private Bill. Since the Union, not less than 9,400 private Bills had been passed by Parliament, while the public iiilla amounted to only b,300. Now, according to the present system, many places were saddled with insufficient and expen sive local Acts for a number of years. By taking the plan pro. posed by those resolutions the evil would be remedied. Many of ti.ese—indeed most of those Bills called private Bulls—were in fact public Bill, as much as those which were called so. He would refer all the Bills to some responsible department of Government, so as to save the expense and the trouble from every Bill being before a Committee of Standing Orders. He would also propose that the orders of both /louses of Parlia ment should be assimilated. There was a Committee of the other House no* sitting, and ha was quite sure ft witlingneis would be shown to meet their Lordships' _ t v.i a ek , s;a. e T i s thus tne once proving of compliance would he sufficient. Another object 11 n with_ atdhetostasenrdviangwaadt the seving that confusion which nowcearoseteie number of local Acts for one p a l n a f i r i o r o m pos t c h d er t e ha b t ei w n h g en a Act of Parliament that they any corporate body pp should be uhfiged,a-Inioiaerdtdheoorffirst instance, to make their Trade, by whom the merits application to the D of the case should be investigated, and if they thought it necessary such corpora te bod y should be compelled to con s o lidate all their previous Bids, so that there should be only one Bill for ode object for each particular place; thus there should be only one Police Bill, ope Water -rate Bill, or one other Dill for any one place. The next Object was to save the expense to clients who applied for Acts. This 4733 the only tribunal in the country without a taxing officer, and he wouk% have such an officer appointed, whose business it should be to ascertain what the fair and necessary charges should be. Again, he would have all the Bills drawn in one particular form, so as to secure uniformity and save the money of the ap plicants. He had alluded to all the poin s because he did not expect to speak of them again. He would conclude by moving the first resolution. Lord EBRINGTON seconded the motion. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET objected to the whole of these resolutions being carried at once, and to the weight of the Government being brought to bear en them. Sir GEORGE GREY could nut agree to what had just fallerifforn the Noble Lard. Although ha would not give his approval of the whole of thew, he did not object to the two first. The reseintiou was then earned. On the second resolution being read, Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET objected also to this re solution as being likely to give excessive power to the several departments of the Government, and also in some instances to local authorities. Sir GEORGE GREY could not assent to this view of the case, for he conceived that in the country all local Acts would be proposed and considered in public vestries, and they would therefore have the sanction of the inhabitants generally. Mr. ET WALL conceived that the object of the Hon. Member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) was to save expense, and that he would refer all h 6 Bills to the several departments of the Government under whose cognizance they would fall, if the object was not to be carried out by a Bill. This, he thought, would prove expensive. Mr. HUME was quite ready to restrict the extent of the meaning of the resolution, by striking out the parenthesis which would have the effect of keeping the public business to two departments —the Admiralty and another, beside the Board of Trade. Lord G. SOMERSET conceived this would have the effect of giving Government the power to tax the public locally, which was a proceeding he would decidedly oppose. Lord EBRINTON thought, that, as he had been on toe Committee which proposed the resolutions, he might state, that wherever feasible, all the local Acts should be modelled in some general Aot. Mr. HIM explained that wherever a local Act was re quired, it was intended to send down a Commissioner to the place requiring it, and if he ascertained that two-thirds of the inhabitants were favourable that they should have the advan tage of Parliamewary aid without the mischief of an expensive contest. The general Act on which they proposed to base these Acts was the 3 and 4 W. IV. c. 19. After a few words from Lord MORPETH. indicating his ap prehension of the phraseology of the resolution, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that, however evident might be the intention of the sentence, it was not sufficiently expressed, arvi he would suggest that the whole of the resolutions be with drawn for a day or two, to be made more perfect, as the House was evidently favourable to their object. Mr. H LJME referred the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Duncombe) to the report of the Committee, which specified the course to be adopted with respect to these local Bills. The cautions course pointed out would prevent any of the evils which the Hon. Gentleman antitipated would arise under the resolution. After a short discussion, Mr. HUME consented to withdraw No. 2, on the ground of its being virtually included in the first, and it was withdrawn accordingly. Ttie third resolution being proposed, Sir GEORGE GREY said it was framed in exact accord ance with the reports of the Standing Orders' Committees of both Houses of Parliament, and would, in his opinion, obviate much expense and inconvenience, in addition to saving the time of a number of Members of Parliament, because the duties now assigned to them, and from which they suffered much in c nvenienee, would be perfermed by a competent officer, or Officers. Lortl G. SOMERSET agreed with the resolution, but con. sidered that the lbt ot February would be preferable to the Is of July. Mr. - 11UME had intended to have left out the month at which the officer should commence his labours, but he inserted July at the wi.h of an Hon. Member. He had no objection to leave out the month, and to leave the time the olUcer should commence his labours to be named by the Speaker. The resolution so amended was then agreed to. The fourth resolution was next proposed, and, after a short discussion, agreed to. No. 5 was agreed to. Nov. 6 and 7 were next proposed. Lord MOIiPETH said that he thought that no Bill for waterworks should be proposed or brought forward next ses sion unless proper notice were given to the Board of Trade, in order tharpat tws might be sent to see the place and report to the Committee an the Bill. Be should propose to introduce a Bill to that effect. Mr. HUNIE consented, under those circumstance?, to withdraw resolution No. 7. Resolution No.. 6 was then agreed to. - On resolution No. 8 being proposed, Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET thought that this reso lution, if carried, would lead to snitch confusion and trouble. If the taxing sfficer were to tax all costs incurred before Par liamentary Committees, it would be necessary to go much more into detail with r?gard to his funCtions. Sir G. GREY said he thought that the duties of the officer were net sufficiently specified, and he thought that the Hon. Member had better withdraw it, in order that an Act, which might go more into details, might be brought in. Mr. HOME said if the Right Hon. Baronet would promise to brieg forward any more specific measure, and promise to give the matter his consideration, he was content to leave the managvment of it in the bands of Government. Sir G. GREY intimated that no legislation on the subject could takeplace this session. Mr. H [DIE said that he did not expect it. After some further conversation, Mr. HUME consented to withdraw the resolutions 8 and 9, on the understanding that the subject should come under the consideration of the House at an early period next session. (LEFT SITTING. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER To THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were nearly 4,000 bales. The market had a quiet appearance, but prices were firmly supported. Shares were rather lower. The only Camial arrival to-day is from Port Philip. The system of leasing land by the Government was still brought forward as a grievance, and the settlers had held another meeting on the subject. In its pastoral pursuits Port Philip was progressing well, Matters in the City continue to wear rather a dull appear ance, but the consumption of all the leading staples is upon the whole satisfactory. The employment furnished by rail ways is expected to be all powerful in this respea, because it gives to the working classes the opportunity of increased enjoyment. The large number of railway Bills passed this session, however, necessarily excites the attention of reflect ing men, and a careful consideration of the probable con sequences to the money market. We think, however, that during the present year the calls will not be particulars heavy or inconvenient. It is next year that the works will be more actively prosecuted, unless the Legislature steps in, And allows of more time for their accomplishment. As to the. directors, they are, in the majority of instances, too deeply interested to desire rapid calls. There has been rather a fist market again for the Public Securities, to which no doubt the considerations above adverted to give some incentive. A few sales have been pressed, and there seems to be a ,;ightly increased demand for money, Exchequer-bills being down to Bs. and 6s. premium.
