H e did not diff er f rom t h e Noble Lord's view of the course which the House ought now to adopt. But he wished to say a few words as to t he future. The Noble Lord declared that the views of her Majesty's Ministers, for the future, would be di-1 directed to the maintenance of religious liberty. In that sentiment he (Mr. Hume) cordially concurred. He regretted, however that the Noble Lord had not said anything about ; th e emancip a ti on o f t h e J ews.

Jews as well as to the professors of every other religious creed.l He beg ge d to tell the Noble Lord, also, that he was exH the begged s orry t h at, as a Minister of a new Sovereign, he h a d, not intimated any intention of completing the Reform Bill. Why not carry through the Payment of Rates Bill in the pre-' went session ? Lord J. RUSSELL—It is my intention to do so.

The va bat trench on the Reform Act who might, he would not behcjllating and dilatory policy of the Government with respect t o ... 'egard with friendly eye the resolutions of the Parliament of Great Britain, he was greatly mistaken ; and he (Mr. Hume) ]was sure that the House would not warrant a vote of credit to Ministers who were so unworthy as to endanger a war in the State. He trusted that by the commencement of' the new Parliament Government would be prepared with some measure respecting the corn-laws. If, also, they were! sincere in their determination to carry out the principles ofl reform, her Majesty's Ministers would propose the only mea-! sure which would enable electors to give their votes honestly - Ind without intimidation—the ballot. Extended suffrage wasi Also most dear. If the Noble Lord should not be prepared, to make such propositions, he (Mr. Hume) trusted that other! Members would ; and he was sure that they would be sup-! ported by the great body of the population. He did not! say in bow many ways the suffrage ought to be extended ;: but he could n o t consc i ent i ous l y consent to its remaining its present state when he knew that many millions of persons! were excluded from having a voice in the choice of the re-I presentatives of the people. He hoped that among other (natters to be reformed, the Noble Lord would not forget our large establishments. A change was requisite in the whole management of the army. The people had looked with great, regret at th e s it ua ti on i n w hi c h Mi n i sters h a d b een p l ace d w i t h: respect to that point. He hoped our establishments would bel properly revised; and that our military establishment shouldi not only be reduced, but placed under the management of men ! whose opinions were in unison with those who wise pledged to carry reform into every department of the state. He wasl aware that there had hitherto been a difficulty on that point ;! but he trusted that that difficulty had now ceased to exist. There was one more subject to which he wished to advert. He hoped that in the new Parliament Ministers would be pre-, pared to recommend to the House a general system of educa-1 lion for the people ; if not, he was persuaded that they would' be compelled to do so by the public voice. He would tell the Noble Lord that if education had been spread more widely throughout the country the outcry against the new Poor-law would not have been so loud and general ; and that if he wished the principle of that measure which he (Mr. Hume), again decl are d to b e t h e b est measure in principle which al Government had ever produced, to be generally approved, itl could only be by general education. The great exertions which had been made in opposition to that law had been made in consequence of ignorance; and if the Noble Lord looked at the language and signatures of those who opposed it he would be convinced of the fact. He hoped, therefore, that Ministers would be prepared with a plan on the subject;] and that in point of education Englishmen might hold up their, heads as hi g hl y as the subjects of any despotic monarch. The: Noble Lord had not said anything about the press. If he' wished .. _ the first to do so ; and he doubted whether the first trenching - k J :that province was likely to produce the most injurious conse _ upon it would not proceed from the other side. He should be quences. When the Noble Lord submitted the Canadian re sorry if the Reform Act could possibly be made a dead letter ; :solutions to the House, he ought to have been prepared to the thing was impossible in itself, because the Reform Bill 41embodv them in a Bill the moment they received the approba carried with it its own vitality—it being the Act for the repro- ~,, l a ion of the Crown.—( Hear.)

He trusted he had satisfied the Hon. Gentlemen opposite that under these circumstances it would Ibe inexpedient to discuss the questions now of which they "had given notice. Having given their notices before the de mise of the Crown was fully sufficient to justify them tc those with whom they corresponded to adopt a different course • at the present moment. • Mr. MACLEAN said that after what had fallen from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and under the peculiar circum- 1 stances in which they were placed, it was not his intention to, press the motion of which he had given notice. It was need less to mention to his Hon. Friend the strong claims which' Barbadoes had to the consideration of her Ma!esty, when herl Majesty should be called upon to determine upon the question' as to continuing or resigning the hereditary revenues which, she possessed in that island, because he thought he could show that a more unjust tax than that tax on Barbadoes in principle, or more oppressive in practice, did not exist in the whole of tile British dominions. Mr. MACKINNON and Mr. PETER BORTHWICK also consented to withdraw the notices w hich they had re spectively given in reference to the four-and-a-half per cent. duties. Colonel SIBT HO RP likewise withdrew the notice of mo- 1 don which he had given for a reduction of official salaries. He, however, begged to ask the Noble Lord opposite on what lay ho intended to propose the appointment of a Committee' on Church leases? Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in answer to the Hon. Gentle man, stated that it had originally been his intention to propose, the appointment of a Committee on Church Leases this even; ing ; but as the Noble Lord opposite ( Lord Stanley) had said that there might possibly be some objection to the motion! whenever the question was proposed, his (Lord J. Russell's); intention therefore was to propose - the Committee on Monday, . 'next, and at the commencement of the public business at five o'clock. Mr. HUME wished to put in his protest against the 4} per; cent. duties being again appropriated to the support of the Bishops is the West Indies. Mr. CHARLES BARCL AY said there was a question ,connected with the hereditary revenues of the Crown deeply! interesting to brewers and publicans, and he therefore wished! to call the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to it. Byl the Statute of Charles 11. a duty on beer, ale, and cider was made to constitute a part of the revenues of the Crown. Hel wished to know whether the measures that were now taken by/ the Excise were indicative of an intention on the part of thel Government to levy that duty ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied,' that the law compelled the Excise to proceed on the demise' of the Crown to take stock, as if the duty were about to be collected. That of course would be subject to the arrange-1 client that might be made on the Civil List ; but he thought it was not at all likely that the old duty on beer, ale, and cider, would be enforced. WAYS AND MEANS—COMMITTEE. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER the House then resolved itself into a Committee ofi Ways and Means; Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed,) that in the course of the last Session he had the peculiari satisfaction to propose an eqaalization of the duties on sugar grown in his Majesty's West India and East India posses. sions ; and when he considered the number of years that, that su bj ect h a d b een matter of dispute, it was to him a l 'natter of great gratification to be enabled to make that proH position with the consent of all parties. On that occasion he received the support of gentlemen connected with the, West India interest, w h o acqu i esce d i n th e j us tic e o f th e l alteration, as well as those connected with the East India interest. He was happy to say that on the present occasion,i with an exception upon one point, it was his intention to pro pose a Bill for the continuation of the duties as they at pre sent stood. There had been considerable dispute on the part of the inhabitants of the presidency of Calcutta and Madras with respect to the exclusion of those presidencies from a par- 1 ticipation in the benefits to be derived from the equalisation of t duties (as we understood the Right Hon. Gentleman to say ;1 but in consequence of the Right Hon. Gentleman turning his! back towards the reporters' gallery it was impossible to collect! the p rec i se i mport o f hi s wor d s ). Now th e p r i n cipl e of the! Bill of last year was, that those parts of India from which! '.he importation of foreign sugar was excluded should have! the full benefit of importing their produce upon low du ies into England.
