The rnagis ,lte was made to act Ministerially; he had DO tiiscre tap,. • - nor had the Secretary of State any power wht :Laver ▪ St the proceedings, or prevent the party being de vered up. The Earl of MALMESBURY—Teett is altered now. Lord BEAUMONT said there come not have been . 11 11 . Y alteration in the convention rime it was signed. If e Meant that the clauses of the Bill were altered, they mould be of no use unless they carried out the cOnVein llu„ll which was recited in the preamble. Ho hoped th e "I Would not be preceded with. There was a general „l the louse rater tin s object; seeing the numerous h objec o tions assist that had thi arisen,the : 11 " L t eeurse would he to have another convention, . 1 , -- '°Ddyieg the suggestions that bad been thrown out. t ce seventh clause gave the power to offenders, if th atged with political offences, to plead as a defence ‘clr extratiitiou under the treaty; but thi s did not 0o " f L i .r Enough; he ought to be restored to the countr y ` v b-net h o h a d been taken, or at all events have the op ttoa of returnirg if he chose. Some alteration was ab 42tUtely necessary in the existing convention, which was ' lll l of difficulties. Lie doubted whether it would be an ad "' -'t.-age to have documentary evidence sent over here; is P r obably would not be enough to justify a magistrate iu committing for trial. If it were to, the miss en accu -4'16,37' Would - be a perfectly satisfacto r y document. Duke of ARGYLL said it appeared to him that "Y the terms of the convention, the Secretary of State t °l43 • oblig e d t o deliver up an offender on proof of iden - PY; but the Bill gave him a discretionary p ower. The Government had retained that discretion for t wcmtlelves in the convention. The Bill purported to "c.ble the Secretary of State to exercise a discretion the convention did not give him. It was most i rt portant that he should have that power, especially as th e number of offences included in tho treaty wa s in creased from three to twenty, and included such a charge inaiversatioa in ofiice. , The Earl of ABERDEEN said the discretion only ap plied to one article—article 10—which related to fo- Ngricrs not Frenchmen. It was most essential that it Should be extended to all. No one could be more seri- Sihlu than himself of the necessity of au alteration in the .. ,isting law. If the nzise en accusation fulfilled been n f 'ltions laid down, the existing law might have en a°reed, and there would have been no necessity for an sa eration. Lord BROUGHAM said that even if the mice en ac cusation were considered tantamount to an indictment, it would not suffice at present, being a foreign indict ttlPut. ~Tag Earl of MALMESBURY suggested that they se e u 1a ni go into Committee now, allow amendments to be made, and have the Bill reprinted before Monday. Lord CAMPBELL said he did not think it proper t h t a : t the SEcretary of State of England should be re tleced7 as was done by the Convention, which gave a dis cretionary power on the French side, but none on the English. This power could not be introduced into Bal unless it was in the Convention. He suggested th at the same power should be given on both sides of the water, sad the same obligations. Lerd Aberdeen's Con „velltion had proved ineffectual, because it required the i t h 'lne evid e n ce as w as necessary to commit a man under te !' English law. It was now proposed to dispense with Ise but a discretionery power ought to be retained. The Earl of MINTO considered that the Bill could patne be proceeded with to the end, unless they had another The House then went into Committee. 1 111 answer to the Earl of ABERDEEN, be Earl of DERBY said thA ono of the amendments ere Posed to be inserted in the Bill was, that any further e i : ;"?ntiou or stipulation that might be entered into of ° , ll e gi be considered for the purposes of the Act as part r t i ,ne original convention. Earl ef ABERDEEN remarked that the Bill re the,t,"l convent i on end proceeded to carry it out. It as impossible then to agree to a convention that had not been entered into. Lord BEAU:AUNT took the same view of the case. Ras a mode o f p rocee ding proposed by the Noble Lord very Irish way of legislation. the" Earl of DERBY sa the convention had received b e assent of two succe id ssive Governments, mid had 'n entered into with the French Government in a mos t amicable manner. It had received the approval of the retest eminent statesmen and lawyers on both sides of 1 1 ,, t ue Chann e l ; but from what he had heard that night W as afraid that if they had half a dozen new convene ens they would all be objected to. He ventured, how er, to say, i n s pi te of the Noble Baron (Lord Beau zrtclt), that th e ir - Lordships had nothi n g to do with the con vention. —(Hear, hear.) 0 , 1 ‘, 1 e Earl ot ABERDEEN insisted that they could not tell'ert° except on a convention that was already before ~T h e LORD CHANCELLOR said that t he p ro p os ed p -° " 0 was to enable her Blejsty to enter into a sup :nentary treaty in conformity with the Bill.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 10, (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr u 14; WORKING CLASSES. le • SLANEY, on the motion that the Speaker do aye lbe Chair, on going into C ommittee ot Su pp l y , alov ' b e 4as an amendment, " That it w as expedient .that a sh e P at tment, Standing Committee , or un p aid C ommission, tim l e " be appointed, to consider, suggest, and report from the to time, preventive and remedial measures, to benefit e o „ S i o cial condhion of the working classes, and for re lie"eg social and other obstacles to their improvement." said this subject had nothing to do with pirty po 'es, but was deep ly i n teresting to the vast body of the po ° P l e whose condition was to be embraced by the pro , nto inquiry• The labouring population was divided the 1, *0 classes—thoso connected wit h husbandr y , and s() living in large towns and in the manufa cturin g districts The great mass of them had been depressed, de graded, and neglecte d f or m any years, and in a great tt ir i e t tisure from the want of proper attentio n to their con- I°ll by the Government and the. L ^ g islature. Ho tho ughtb en that if some department or commission had ' 4l in existence to watch the condition of the working 4 _ 43 Bes, and to suggest measures to remedy the evils that rrounded them, there would now have been a vast im provement among them, both in a physical and moral ase_ vect. The Honourable Member referred to the reports 45 ,,t Commissioners and Select Committees to show the deplorable state of these two great divisions of the people, and said he attributed the neglect he had mentioned to tteat social changes which had taken place without any c orresponding alterations of the law, so as to give them fair play in their altered position. So frequent W ere political changes, that efore a Gvenment ha Le to direct its attention t b o subjects of r this nature Went out of office; and nothing effectual would be done fo r the benefit of the people, unless some such perma- I I : 4 r , body as he suggested was app ointed. The exist f g state or,' things produced nothing but discontent, suf -"trig, and disease in the country, and ho asked for a k t i 'naission on the ground of economy, justice , a n d ri g ht. bile th e com f or t s of the rich and middle cla sses had bee n vastly augmented, crime had increased thr ee Bennet tk faster than the population, and crime now cost country upwards of eleven millions annually. i - e ll therto the wealthy had adopted the laissez faire sys lti In regard to these great grievances; but there ought te W hat no l o nger delay in devising means of amelioration. 4 at he wanted for the working classes was instruction ' 5 their children, protection to their health, and fair p l ay and encouragement in regard to the employment Of their labour. Lord R. GROSVENOR seconded the motion. M r. WALYOLE said he was sure that the sincere b enevolence which had always distinguished the career t 'f the Hon. Gentleman deserved to be rewarded; 1 / 4 ild if he thought the means proposed by the Hoe. Gentleman would be likely to contribute towards the improvement of the social condition of the working classes, he should certainly wish, on the part of the Government, at once to give his assent to this motion. Wi t h regard to the motion before the douse lee doubted whether it would reall y tend . It `e benefit of those for whose benefit it was intended. '"'e doubt e d whether more information would be gained Y such a standing commission than was now obtained b ytbe Committees o f both Houses of Parliament. A e w b — e, tression would consist of one or two persons, who , 11, Q uId imbib e peculiar ideas a nd p lans on these subjects, Parliamentarywhich their reports would be founded, while a toe,Committee would consist of persons who these' varied and different views, rend in whose hands I to he considered in 411 t ilestionS would be more 1 et oot e lr bearings. Moreover, he did 1:13t think it judi vern:tbz) lead the people to depend rather on the Go- O R Trat and Parliament than on their own e x e l rt e i t o a n n s t . ," 1-I ,ese grounds, therefore, he must give are u 0 Is e e ttv e to the motion of the lion.

EMBASSY OF EMBASSY AT CON STANTINOPLE. th. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said thd' vote which stood to be taken first was the vote for b a expenses of repairing the chspel of the British E ns _ Beaty at Constantinople. The Government had taken i t at . vote into their consideration since yesterday, and con siderable to them to be ono of those which required nsiderable inquiry. The enormous expenditure which aide!aken place upon the ambassadorial residence fth Constantino le appeared to him on the sur face indefensible. It certainly appeared to him i llt e tt to spend 85 0001. in t e n years was rather too much. ebc. know it had grown up to a practice, not sufficiently into" at a di6tance from this country, to launch out lay . t ileav Y expenses of this sort, and without wishing to 1:07 -11 Y blame on their preneeeesers, her Mejesty's Hi set.ers wished to take this opportunity of expressing thdisEatis;action on this head, and therefore, under these circumstances, he si lo -la no ' propose to proceed lamer now with this vote. li t : hear.) 0 ?,Ir.

Reyoard, 921 . 1 its. as Sir J, PAKINGTON ssid it oppesred to him that the introduction of the word " bishop" into a vote was sue 1- e lent to induce the Gentleman to oppose the vu to. The question. however, which the Hon. and Learn ed Gentler:ash had just been discussing was not new, it had beeu frequently debated end the result of all the discs .s -sion was the approvol of the vote on the part of tJ to Legislature. Sir, HUME thought the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who had introduced this discussion had done nothing Is at his duty. It might be unjust to call upon the bialnop to pay these expenses out of his own pocket, but it vi as still more unjust to require the country to pry that n. The fact was, the time had come when they ought to have some settled principles upon which all these E c clesiastical charges should he made upon the public es x chequer, and he for one ehould be always ready to oppose these votes for ecclesiastical purposes in the colonies. The Church possessed a property of more than 600,000/. in value, and yet last night they were called upon to vote 38,0001 for its assistance. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman deserved great credit for introducing this au h jecis and he should certainly vote with him if ho pr a- posed any reduction of the estimate. Mr. ANSTEY said ho should move that the estimate he reduced by 300/. Colonel SIIMIORP was quite as willing to recoin mend economy as the Hon. M- , mber for Youghal, or the Hon. Member for Montrose, but it appeared to him th at the opposition of the Hon. and Learned Member for Youghal was not so much directed against ithe vote as the Established Church, and as he f6r one coo Id not allow the establishment to be attacked in this manner be should certainly resist the amendment. He was nevertheless an advocate of legitimate economy, and as he could be no party to the Great Exhibition robber y, he should move to omit the sum of 1,505/. 7s. 6d. fsr salaries of secretaries, clerks, and messengers for ttSe Commission for the promotion of the Exhibition of Cote Works of Industry of all Nation:. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved a further reduction of Ole vote by 1,570/, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON said this complication, of amenemonts would lead to great confusion, and he wen ld suggest that they should be taken separately. Sir GEORGE PECHELL hoped this was the IS st -- time they should hear of such au estimai,e as this, and hoped if it was required next year it would he paid 'yet of the Secret Service Money. Lord DUDLEY STUART objected to saddling the country e ith the expenses of this estimate. After a few words from Mr. Hamilton, Mr. W. Wil- hams, and Mr. lieyworth, Mr. ANSTEY s;oid, to save ODO division, he would a d d his red actiou of 3001 to that of the Hon. Member fc r Lambech, who concurred in the fusion of the . tsv o amendments. The CHAIRMAN said the larger reduction, which was that of the lion. Member for Lambeth, would have to be put first. The Committee then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment of Mr. Williams 40 Against it ... 97 Mtjority against it ... —57 The amendment was accordingly lost. The CnAIRMAN was then directed to report progre s and the House having resumed, ho did so accordingly. The remaining twelve o'clock orders were next dis posed of, and Four o'clock having arrived, the House re's e. The House resumed at Six o'clock. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of Mr. F. MACKENZIE, it was agreed that the House at its rising, should adjourn u n til Monday rent. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A messenger from the Lords brought up the follosw log Bills, to which their Lordships had agreed:— Apprehension of Deserters from Foreign Ships. Law of Evidence (Scotland). Stockport and Marple Read. Pedmore and Rowley Roads. Stroud and Sisley Road. Mecelesfield rand Buxton Road. Kirkby Stephen and Hawn Road. Mareden, Gishurne, and Lang Preston Roads, with out ansend men t. Yeovil and Ilchester Turnpike Trusts. South Wales Railway, with amendments. PETITIONS. Mr. THORNELY presented a petition, praying the House to take steps to increase the supply of guano to this country. Sir E. BUXTON presented a petition from a place in Eseex cgainst the Militia Bill. Petitions in favour of an ocean penny postage were presented by Mr. CIIA.RTERIS and by Mr. S. CRAWFC4IID from Rochdale. Mr. ELIOT presented a petition from Gallashie , ls, praying a Government inspection of nunneries. Mr. OSWALD presented a petition from a place in Sew land against the grant to May nooth. Captain 111AGAN wished to ask whether it was the intention of the Government to bring on the Crime reed Outrage (Ireland) Bill before the adjournment of the House that day? The Right Hon. Gentleman el le Attorney- General had on that morning at half-past tvi o'clock, in no very stentorian voice, stated that he it '- tended to bring it on that day. It did not appear on th e order paper, and he wished to know whether it wculd come on? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ha) proposed taking it on Tuesday morning. MR. SMITH O'BRIEN. Mr. V. SCULLY wished to ark a question of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Attorney-General for Ire land. On the cecasion of the present Government coming into power it was understood by many of the friends of Mr. Smith O'Brien in Ireland, that if a pro perly-worded memorial was prepared, the present Go vernment would be disposed to mitigate the sentence passed upon that unfortunate g entleman. It was, indeed , stated that the Government wished such a mem orial to ho presented. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentle man, and he hoped ho would have a fair and frank answer, whether he had not revised the memorial, whether he had not corrected it, and whether he had not stated that it should receive his supp , rt? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND (Mr. Napier) would state ail the facts connected with the roemorial. He and his Right HOD. Friend the Solicitor- General were counsel for Mr. Smith O'Brien. The Solicitor General acted for him at the trial, and he him self had been counsel before the House of Lords and had presented a petition in his behalf after he had been sentenced to transportation. Ho was also on terms of great intimacy with many of his friends and relations, particularly his brother, the Rev. W. O'Brien, and the) Hon. Baronet the Member for Clara was also one of his intimate friends. After the present Government came into power the friends of Mr. O'Brien waited upon him entirely in the • capacity of a private friend, to consult with him whether anything could be done in the way of a mitigation of punishment. The conversation was en tirely confidential and private, but he distinctly stated that he could take no part whatever in his official cepa city, as it was impossible the Government could do any thing, as it would be at once set down as being, done for political purposes and electioneering considerations. He had never taken upon himself to state what the Govern ment would do on the subject. Ail his communications were simply those of a private friend, and arising out of the sympathy ho entertained for the friends and rela tives of Mr. O'Brien. Ho never did hold out, nor was he aware that any person on the part of. the Go vernment ever held out, any intimation or any hope as to what the Government would do, nor had he directly or indirectly pledged himself that the Government would attend to any memorial that might be got up. He trusted that explanation would be satisfactory.—(Hear, hear.) DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. Mr. EWART begged to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any measures have oven adopted for the examination of candidates for ep ponatment and promotion is the diplomatic service in the country; and whether there will be any objection to lay beton) the House a return explanatory of such measures, as has been done in the case of the diff erent revenu e b oa rds, the navy, the marine, and more lately (by the Duke of Wellington) in the case of examinations of candidates for the army?

At present he could not take upon himself the responsibility of allowin€ , a question, which would apparently lead to a long discussion, to it:dollen) with the progress of public business. Both the morning and evening sittings were at the present mot - nent apportioned to very important business; and, althongn he was ready to accede to the suggestion of the lion. Gentleman, provided he was assured that there would be no delay, still until there was some as surance or certainty of such a result, he could not take the responsibility of permitting the nomination of a C4.)mmittee whicd would unduly retard the public buiiness. IMPROVEfiIENT OF TIE JURISDICTION OF EQUITY BILL. The House then went. into Committee on this Bill, Mr. BERNAL in the chair. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved, pursuant to novice, to omit clauses 1 to 9 inclusive, conlendiug that it was not expedient to print the preliminary dccuments in a Chancery suit, and that besides the reduction of expuso that would be thereby attained, it would have the effect of stopping many Chancery suits in limine. He would move, in the first inst.ance, that clause 1 be omitted. Tile ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended that as the Bill at present stood the expeuso would be lessened and the proceedings simplified. Mr. BETHELL also supported the clause. Under the former system the preliminary documents were the source of very great expense, and in many instances before the defendant knew the offence of which he was charged, ho was put to some hundreds of pounds of expense. The filing of bills was in that way the source of a groat deal of oppression. The benefit that would result from the change proposed by the present measure was, that the defendant would be informed at once, and at the commencement of the suit, of the complaint against hips in a manner that would be intelli gible to the meanest capacity, and might be able to avoid the expense of litigation without resorting to professional aid. By the printing of the preliminary documents much expense would be saved, instead of any additional costs being incurred; and, indeed, it would be most desirable if the plan of the printing the documents was extended to other stages of the suit. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said he had not been con vinced by the arguments of the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman. It was impossible to say that printing was re quisite, or would be inexpensive. The object of reduc ing the length of bills in Chancery might be otherwise obtained. He should negative the clauses. The clause was then agreed to. Clause 2 was agreed to, with a verbal amendment in serted on the motion of the MASTER of the ROLLS. On clause 3, The gASTER of the ROLLS likewise introduced a verb of amendment, and the clause was agreed to. Clause 4 was agreed to without alteration. On clause 5, The MASTER of the ROLLS moved a verbal amendment, which was assented to, and the clause then pissed, as also did clauses 6,7, and 8, without obf.erva On clause 9, giving the Chancellor power to alter, modify, or suspend any of the previous provisions of the measure, Mr. KEOGH objected that it might neutralise the measure altogether. Mr. WALPOLE said as it was an experiment it was deemed necessary to give the Chancellor power of mcdi fyicg it. The clause was agreed to; as were clauses 10 and 11. On clause 12, requiring that in tho absence of a near relative or testamentary guardian, the consent of the Court be required to the filing of a bill on behalf of an infant, The MASTER of the ROLLS moved its omission, stating that, it was often necessary to fil e a bill at a f ew hours' notice. Mr. WALPOLE admitted that delay might arise in some instances, but yet thought the provision would be useful. Some power was required to prevent an impro per person from being put, in as next friend. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL suggested that it might be sufficient to require the consent of the Court within some short time after the filing of the bill. the MASTER of the ROLLS conce i ve d that this m i g ht in some measure meet the difficulty. Mr. BE THELL thought the clause would be at once nugatory and obstructive. It would en t a il t h e necessity f o r that most objectionable and o nerous procee ding, an ex parte application, which was altogether alien from the p r oper proviece of a judicial tribunal. Mr. WALPOLE concurred to a great degree in those observations, ana promised to consider them before the report. The MASTER of the ROLLS suggested the post ponement of the clause. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected. Sir J. GRAHAM said this subject had been fully cousidered by the Commission, and there appeared to be between the retention and rejection of the clause a choice of difficulties. His own opinion, however, was in conformity with that of the Commissioners, that it ought to he omitted. _ Me. HENLEY observed that the judges in the Court of Chancery were of a different, opinion, with the excep tion of the Master of the Rolls. Sir P. WOOD said, as the father was usually dead, all the children infants, and the mother executrix and an accounting party in the suit, the application to the Court would be necessary iu almost every case for the selection of a next friend" to institute the suit. Mr. WALPOLE ultimately, in deference to tho opinion of the Commissioners, withdrew the clause. Clauses 13, 1405, 16, were afterwards agreed to. Oa clause 17, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved to insert—" From the time when this Act shell commence and take effect, all special clauses 'Shall be sot down for hearing in the cause-bocks kept at the registrar's office, and shall be inserted in the daily papers of the several courts." His object was to prevent uncertainty as to the time when motions came on. Mr. WALPOLE said the amendment had nothing practicable in it. The greater number of motions were so sudden, that th e papers were n ot delivered until the night before the hearth;.—(,fear.) The MASTER of the ROLLS said the amendment . would be most mischievous; it would . prevent the judge elnBd tom e 2 n t 5 of f o i m ts t o a r k d i e n r g . a motion of the most pressing character out Mr. CARTER said under this system a junior counsel had no chance of bringing on a motion. The Clausesamwagarheoeudttao.division. winaeslunseivg:twiveerde Oa clause 26, - The ;}TASTER of the ROLLS said that this and the 28th clause threw a very great deal of additional duty on the examiners of the Court of Chanory, though the Bill certainly was au improvement in the practice of the court, while at the same time there was no provision made for a fair remuneration for the extra services im posed upon these officers. Mr. WALPOLE said, however jest the complaint of his Hon. and Learned Friend might be, nothing could be done in the matter at present. It certainly did seem not to be quite fair to increase the work w►thout in creasing the salaries. At the present time the chief clerk had 2001. a year more than the examiners, which was an anomaly. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 27 to 29 were also agreed to after a short con versation on the latter respecties , the conduct of Com enissicaers for taking evidence in the country, in which hope was expressed by Sir J. GRAHAM that local and county courts would be made available for that purpose. In clause 30, which related to the mode iu which the evidence of witnesses should be taken before the exa miners, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in answer to a re mark of Mr. C. Villiers, said that the clause provided that the examiner should take a narrative of the evidence, and that the witness should sign ir. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, to meet certain objec tions, proposed to insert words which would prevent the preceedings being rendered invalid in case the witness refused to sign the narrative. The MASTER of the ROLLS said the narrative would be of no value unless signed by the witness, and unleSs Le signed it he could not be indicted for perjury. The amendment of the Solicitor-General was with drawn, and the consideration of it postponed till the report. Mr. C. VILLIERS said that before the clause was agreed to he wisaed to point out that the proposed mode of taking the evidence would open a door for great delay and expense, and would lead to the same results as the present system of taking evidence by the Masters. The clause was then agreed to, as also were clauses down to 58. Oa clause 59, The MASTER of the ROLLS said it appeared to him that this clause did not come within the scope of the Bill. It appeared to him that each court should be able to execute justice by means of the functions and powers possessed by itself, and without resorting to any other court.—(Hear.) Now, the present clause, so far from conferring that power, only extended the existing evil of appeals from equity to law courts, and he was therefore opposed to it. He hoped it would not be per severed with.—(aear.) clause s n e ot w come as The SOLICITOR,.

Mr. 11E ADLA tal mered the omission of the clause. Mr. WALPOLE defended its retention, for the whole Bill was based upon the fact that tho Masters' Office was j to be abolished. The clause, as amended, Rai then agreed to. Oa the next clause being proposed, The MASTER of the ROLLS moved an amendment reducing the number of Masters in Chancery to two in stead of four. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought it was much better to leave the clause as it stood. Mr. AGLIONBY twirl. it would bo no benefit to the public reducing the number of these officers, if their salaries were not also to he reduced. Mr. HENLEY said the Hon, Member nppeaved to thick that tide Bill viral a Mere matter of pounds, shil lings, end pence, instead of l oo k ing at it as a matter cel oul Jed to centre' a great b enef i t on the. public. Mr. ELLICE thanked th e C ommissioners for th e at tention they had given t o the sueject. Mr. CARTER thonght th at i f these ge ntlemen were to be paid their salaries, they entaht to h a ve the advan tage of their se:vices, inai,fo l ch as the beano , hitherto done by them should now b e done by others. Mr. WALPOLE s aid it would be most unjust to ask these Masters to undertake the duties of the inferior officeve. Mr. OSWALD objected to the Bill that whilst the Ist clause abolished the office of Master the 3d clause left it in the newer of the Lord Chancellor to retain the whole stall' of Masters. Mr. WALPOLE said that the dei ce o f Master was abolished by the Ist clauae. By the 3.1 clause only so many Masters were retained as were necessary to carry on the hu , iness now in the office. As soon as that busi ness was dispatched those Masters would retire. The clause was then agreed to, as was clause 4. Clauses 5 and 6 were postponed. Clauses from 7 to 11 inclusive were agreed to, with verbal amendments. On clause 12, which provides for the hiring of cham bers for the accommodation of the judgesacting. under the: Gill, The MASTER of the ROLLS urged the propriety of retaining the building known as " Southampton-build ings," as a more suitable place for the transaction of bu siness, and as being m ore consistent with the dignity of the proposed office, than dispersed chambers inLincoln's inn. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded by moving as an amendment of the clau se , in conformity with his views, to insert the word s "In the meantime convenient chambers in the building n ow occu pied by the Masters and other officers of the said court, in Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, shall be appro priated for the purpose, provided th at the chamber busi ness of the Master of the Rails, or any part thereof, may, if, and so long, as he shall think fit, b e carried on at the Rolls House, Rolls-yard, Chancery-l ane. " Mr. WALPOLE said it was considered essential to the efficient working of the measure that the business shoultl be carried on as much as possible under the per sonal supervision of the judges, without any interruption from change of place and distance. Sir J. GRAHAM said there were three sets of cham bers vacant at Southampton.' buildings fur the thre.eVice- Chancellors, and it did not seem requisite to provide other was ag eed to. r chambers for the purpose in Lincoln's Intl. The matter had been discussed in the Commissio n , and the conclu sion arrived at was, that it would b e b etter to retain Southampton-buildings. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL sug gested the omission of the words in the clause referring t o t h e question until the report. The clause 13, use 14, 0 15, and 16 werenthisunderstanding reed to. Clauses also ag On clause 17, relative to the chief clerks, The MASTER of the ROLLS proposed a verbal amendment.—Agreed to. Clauses 17 to 51 inclusive were then agreed to, ex elousstipv o e n e o d f . clause 44, which, as a mo ney clause, was On clause 5 being brought up, Mr. CARTER proposed to make such a reduction in 1 p. the retiring salary of the Masters as would leave them two-thirds of the amount. Mr. WALPOLE said when the uppointrnonts were made they were made for life, and it was, therefore but eqnitable that the p a rti e s should b e secured the full amount of their salary when their offices were taken away. He hoped the House would not agree to the amendment. Mt. CARTER thought the Masters would be amply paid for past services on for any services they could pos sibly render to the country by two - thirds of the large salaries they had been accustomed to receive. Mr. R. PALMER thought it would be contrary to the principle that House had always acted upon towards vested interests—namely, to secure the whole amount of salaries which otherwise would be secured to them for life if they adopted the amendment. He thought, however, that if full salaries were paid, parties receiv ing salaries ought to perform services for them either in their own office or in some other office,—(gear.) Mr. ANSTEY thought it would be unwise tP part with those four judges, and to lose all control over them, as proposed by the clause. The effect of the clause was to give a boon to the gentlemen who were to retire—it was, in fact, to increase their retiring allowance. He thought those gentlemen ought to he at the command of the Lord Chancellor, to be employed i° any ".."7 which might assist in working o u t taose reforms which were in progress. Mr. WALPOLE defended the clause as it stood. After some further discussion the Committee divided, when there appeared:— For the amendment ... 10 Against it "• ... ... ...

CORK, WEDNESDAY.—I 7 the month of I I7t rearrecteble'aenl-72110f Mr. Daniel Corbetr, a hi g hl y Cork, accompaniA by Mr. John Shea, his Bo and ex--dayor of Cork, waited u p on Sir Thernisa-Dnie-alaw and suggested to him the prop r i ety of taking step to have an Exhibition of the ind ustr i a l products oftes province of Munster. Sir Thomas Deane at first considered that the proposition Was not one which would be received by the public with complete satisfac tion and general reliance upon the success of the under taking; he feared that the unrivalled splendour of the Exhibition held in the Crystal Palaca would cast an Irish Exhibition into the shade, but upon reflection, he came to tho conclusion that even if it should be impossible to collect the material products to such an extent as to render the Exhibition creditable to the country, the fine art department would be so ca.. Celiear, embracing, as it would, the works of some of our most eminent artiste, that it would redeem the Ex hibiien, if otherwise defective. Under these circum stances, Sir Thorns Doane exproesecl his approval of tee plan, end promi6ed to co-operate heart and hand with those by whom it had been projected. A public meeting was held in Cork, at whica Mr. Corbett ex planed his views. Lord a: , ruard, Sir Robert Ktue, and Sir Themes Deane also addressed the meeting, and a commi.tee was termed to carry out the object of the meeting. _ _ _ After the committee had been formed, Sir Thomas Deane and Sir Robert Kane waited upon the Earl of Clarendon, who highly approve d of the projeto, and subscribed 501. in order to aid in carrying out a pro ject so hie:le:tent. The N oble Earl suggested that it persons from other hairs of Inland wished to send in articles to be exhibited, it wouki be wieldable to permit them to do so, end the object which the Cotnmitteo had in view would be carried out mere effectually by extending their operations so that it might become a national undertaking. After this interview with the Earl Clarendon, the deputation returned to Cork, having previously had a consultation with some of the eminent manufacturers of Dublin. Upon the return of the, deputation to Cork, a meeting of the committee was belt, and it was finally determined to make the Exhibition a national one in the largest sense of the word. It was then arranged that a deputation, consisting of Mr. Corbett and Mr. Shea, should proceed to Dublin, with direc tions to co-operate with Mr. John C. Deane, the son of Sir Thomas Deane. The deputation, having come to Dublin, called on that gentlemen, and he at once promised to do everything in his power to forward their views. The deputation waited upon the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, and his Lordship sum moned a meeting at the Mansion-house, which was attended by the leading manufacturers and citizens of Dublin. Resolutions were adopted at that meeting ap proving of the measure, and the metropolitan stamp was given to it. Mr. Joim C. Deane was appointed secre tary to the metropolitan committee, which numbered among its members some of the most distinguished and influential of the citizens of Dublin and its neighbour hood. The Hon. Secretaries next proceeded to Belfast, where they had interviews with the mayor and the lead icg manufacturers of the city and its vicinity, by whom they were received in a flattering and highly favour able manner. They then visited Drogheda, Lime rick, Clonmel, and Waterford, and were received with the utmost enthusiasm. The applications for space in the building became to numerous, and the encouragement from England was so warm, and ' , afforded such a prospect of cordial and g enerous co-operation, that the committee in Cork determ ine d to constrnet a budding worthy of the great efforts that were being made to develop the arts, manufactures, and ma terials of the country. We may here do justice to the services rendered to the object in view by Mr. C. P. Roney, through whom large sums of money were pro cured. He was appointed au honourable member of the Executive Committee of Cork, in testimony of the zeal, ability, and earnestness which he had displayed. Through his exertions also the Electric Telegraph Company sent over one of their officers for the purpose of showing the process complete in the building dedi cated to the Exhibition. The telegraph could not cer tainly come under the head of Irish manufacture, but it bore so much upon the true interests of the country that the committee did not hesitate to allow it to be included in the Exhibition, and we doubt that ere long this won der of the world will be in full operation between Dub lin and Cork. As soon as it was discovered that the Exhibition was to extend to all Ireland, the utmost exertion, as we have already said, was made; a suite of rooms rarely to be met w ith were erected in th incredibly short space of about six weeks, the great object of national importance urging, and a people smitten by Providence endeavouring to make an effort to rise Against despondence, made every one of a practical committee alive to this patriotic move ment. The architectural department was committed to the hands of Sir Thomas Deane and Hr. J. Benson, architects, who gave their services gratis, working night and day to accomplish the great work. Sir Thomas Deane went to London personally to wait on his country men, the Irish artists of celebrity there, who to a man responded to his wishes. In his absence Mr. Beason designed the Fine Arts Hall, which does him so much honour; and on the return of Sir Thomas Deane to Cork, both these patriotic architects worked in perfect harmony together in completing the several buildings. Having given these details relative to the origin and progress of this approaching manifestation of the industrial power of Ireland, we will now describe the building in which the Exhibition will take place. It is situated at the Corn-market, which was erected about twenty years since, the Corn Ex change being one of the principal halls. The various additions for the purposes of the Exhibition—namely, the banquet-room, ball and reception rooms, kitchen, &c., have been erected on the spacious area of the market, which contains about five acres, surrounded by streets, and on one side adjoining the south branch o: the river Lee, which runs in the channel through the city of Cork. 'fne entrance or northern hall (the Corn-Exchange), entered from the (pup, is 76 feet square and 50 feet high, divided into nave and aisles, the nave rising into a species of clerestory, with elevated side lights. This fine apartment contains in various glass cases all the fine texture articles—damask, linens, tabinets, crochet, embroidery, &c. From this hall is a noble arched entrance, 20 feet wide, descending by six steps into one of the finest rooms in Europe—the Fine Arts Hall, 182 feet by 53 feet in the centre, 45 feet high; it has an arched roof in one span, with laminated timber girders, and a continuous top light in the centre, 8 feet 6 inches at each side. The extreme end is circu lar, where is placed a noble organ, and an orchestra to contain 200 performers: the latter temporary, to b e removed after the first day's performance of the ode. The view from the northern hall of this beautiful room, now filled with sculpture and painting, is magnificent, and to those who watched the rapid progress of its erection appears magical. The united length of these rooms, seen at one time, is 258 feet, running north and south. Running east and west, adjoining the north hall, and crossing the Fine Arts Hall, is a transept 320 ft. long by 30 ft. wide, adjoining which to the south at each end are halts, each about 130 by 80 feet—ia all six great halls for Vie va rious purposes of the Exhibition, with committee and refreshment rooms and various offices attached, spat i nis courts, &c. The Exhibition building, filled with the va rious objects of art and industry, and crowded by all classes and grades will present a brilliant coup d'ccil. The spen did arch of the dome, with its moulded cornice, adorned with shields and banners, supported on retiring columns backed with crimson drapery, oversha dows a lengthened perspective of beautiful sta tuary, gems of art, gushing fountains, and gorgeous fabrics, whose converging lines, from floor, wall, and ceiling, meet and concentrate on a magnificent organ. The fountain, which will be supplied from the Pipe Water Company's works, is of a pyramidal form, the base consisting GE a circular reservoir, 13 feet in dia meter, and two foot deep, with rock-work supporting three dolphins reversed, each spouting water. The en twined tails of the dolphins uphold a tazza, formed of a large shell four and a half feet diameter, with water flowing over; in it three mer maids support a smaller tazza three and a half feet diameter, of a similar form, from which rises a Triton blowing a conch shell, whence a copious jet flows, rising to the height of 16 feet, and forming the apex of the whole. The fountain is surmounted by emblemati cal figures and vases of flowers. At distances through the room large ornamental vases filled with exotics and n ative flowers are placed. At the rear of the Exhibition buildings, and adjoining the southern street, are the banquet hall, the reception room, &c. The banquet-hall, which is capable of enter taining 500 persons, is 90 feet by 70 feet, and 40 feet high, beautifully decorated, and having nine splendid glass lustres, to be lighted with gas. The decoration and fitting up of the hall was under the di rec tion of Mr. Mr. M Richar d Dillon Boylan, of Dublin, who disp la y ed uCh taste and ingenuity in the manner in which he ear- Ted out the views of the committee. The v estibule, Which is of a circular form, looks like a splendid eastern pavilion, adorned with rich hangings, mirrors, and .far niture en suite. This, with the great receptton oom and ante-room, form a suite of apartments. The room and a nte.room, form a suite of apartments. The vestibule leads into a well-proportionedd and s acious drawing lively brilliant of conical form, which is . decorated with lively brilliant colours, after the Parisian mode, ocentrives a double debt to pay," as it serves the double purpose of an ante-room for the guests at the banquet, and a supper and promenade-room during the ball. The cornices aro ornamented with shields, and vases of flowers are placed in the niches. It leads by an easy ap proach and decorated archway into the banquet-hall and ba ll-room. The latter apartment is fitted up with deco rations in tho French style, of the richest description. The w llB aro hung with drap er y of white an d yellow bands, w ith a a showy cornice of the same material. The sup porting pillars boar narrow lon g itudinal stripes 01 pur p le e and midway from the g ro u nd a graceful aa trophy-w 0 1 f e slrres, shields, and banners, forms a striking n smen t, The seat intended for the Lord-Lieutenant ornament' h a s been fitted up with rich hangings of Irish damask, an d su rmounted by a canopy o f e q uall y g or g e ous ma terial. 5 At each side of the room are recesses for wine and the other requisites for tho table. The c oolers department reminds ono of the olden time; the roasting grate alone is twelve feet long , with hot hearth, charcoal stoves, platform for kettles, &c. Cork is like a bee-hive—full of life, expectation, energy' bustle, business; a great impetus has been given to trade; human industry is awake end active. It was glorious to witness how the workmen laboured; here were the anxious arc hitects run ning to and fro to s o that their designs and plans were accurately ob served, there were seen the members of the committee actively Occupied in giving their directions. There is n e t a tradesman in the city of Cork unemployed.

Every other hotel in the is just as tell, but each will continue to hold .. j us i ono more." I At eleven o'clock this morning one small door was partly opened for the admission of a vast crowd of in vited guest and parties who had paid for tickets of ad mission. Such crushing and confusion ensued! By this door lady guests were to be admitted first, then the male guests—then the lady holders of cards, and then the male. Absurd as this appears, still it was the crder pronounced by the impassable body of police by which this clothes-destroying passage was guarded. No one that your correspondent could find out knew the right way, and the Cork Committee took especial care to keep out of it, and beyond the reach of questions. Fortu nately, just at the moment your " own correspondent " was about to crush his way out of the crowd, he was recognised and taken in hand by that übiquitous friend of the press, Cusack P. Roney, and by an open sesame conveyed him to a place of safety within. THE EXHIBITION HALL. The scene within this building was ample compensa tion for the suffering outside. It is 146 feet it length by 52 in breadth, and aboat 50 in height. The walls are nearly completely covered with oil paintings. Of their value as works of art nothing need be said, as they are merely intended, we presume, as " furniture." A copy of Macliso's fresco in the House of Lords, "The Spirit of Justice," is pointed out with pride by the men of Cork, as this accomplished artist is a fellow-citizen. There is n range of casts of celebrated pieces of sculp ture on either side of the main avenue in this hall. In the centre eijet d'eau sheds around its cooling influence, and at the northern end there is au organ of great power and brilliant tones from the warehouse of Telford of Dublin. Around the organ was an elevated stage for members of the choral societies of Cork and Dublin, who had sgreM to perform the inauguration ode, written for the occasion by John Francis Waller, Esq., barrister at law, the music by Mr. Stewart, musical doctor. Lower down was a raised dais or throne, on which chairs were placel for the accommodation of their Excellencies the Earl and Countess of Eglinton. About one-half of the hall was exclusively set apart for ladies, and certainly no portion of it was so attractively occupied. The " Limerick lasses" are celebrated for their beauty, but if the ladies assembled in the fine arts hal at Cork to-day are natives of this country, their neighbours of the " city of the violated treaty" ought to look to their laurels. At half-past one o'clock a loud and protracted cheer from the exterior intimated the approach of the Viceregal party, and shortly afterwards their Excellencies the Earl and Countess of Eglinton were ushered into the hall by the mayor and executive committee. Their Ex oellencies, who arrived from the Earl of Bandon's, were attended by Captain Thesig,er, aide de camp, and Colonel Campbell, private secretary- The Earl of Bandon and Lord Bernard arrived in the hall with the Viceregal party. The reception of their Excellencies was enthu• • gestic. At this period we observed in the vicinity of the Vice regal party Lord Talbot de lialahide, Lord Massareene, the Lerd &layer of Dublin, Mr. George Roe, Mr. John C. Deane, and several other members of the üblin com mittee. The Mayors of Limerick and Kilkenny, with many other provincial notabilities, were present. The business of the day commenced with the" Halh lojah Gloms," which was well rendered by the assem bled performers. Mr. SHEA, the secretary to the Cork committee, then advance:, and read the following address to his Exeel lency : " We , the Meyer, and Extentirri Committee of the National Exhibition, qn behalf of the citizens of Cork, greet your Excellency's arrival amongst us with an ar dent welcome.

The music was composed by Dr. Ro bert Stewart, who, in the imposing canonicals of a Mus. Doc., conducZed the performance. The following is the poem:— INAUGURATION ODE. STROPHE a.

The ode was admirably rendered, and at its conclusion several gentlemen were presented to his Excellency, who retired amidst applause. Preciously to leaving the Exhibition building, their Excellencies and suite, with several of the most distin guished visitors, proceeded to the committee-room, where ' t s hey were entertaimd with a sumptuous dejeainer, pre pared under the superintendence of Mrs. Fitzgerald.

IRON PAPER.—At the Prussian Industrial Exhi bition, Count Renard, a large proprietor of ironworks, ex hibited sheets-iron of such a degree of tenuity that the leaves can be used for paper. Of the finest sort, the machinery rolls 7,040 square feet, of which may be called leaf-iron, from a cwt. of metal. A bookbinder of Breslau has made an , alb.:ni of nothing else, the pages of whi c h tarn as flexibly I as the finest fabric of linen rags. As yet no extensive ap plication for this form of the metal has been found, but the manager says the material must precede the use for it.
