The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House on the Ecclesiastical Laws. Mr. GLADSTONE said the immediate object of this Committee was to enable him to do that which he could have done had the, House passed the second reading of a former Bill which he had introduced. His intention would have been, had that Bill been read a second time to commit it pro forma, with the view of introducing amendments which could after Wards be printed and sent out to the colonies for consideration during the re cess. The Government, however, announced their de termination to oppose the Bill, and under all the circum stances of the case he did not feel himself bound to press the second reading. It was, nevertheless, desirable that that the measure should be put in such a shape as it could be seat out to the colonies. All, therefore, that he now proposed to do: was to move a resolution to sanction the printing of the Bill with ' amendments, which he would presently explain to the Committee. The time had arrived when it was indis pensably necessary that some legislation should take place in regulating ecclesiastical affairs in the colonies. Now there were two modes of proceeding for effecting that object. They might legislate directly, and proceed to establish ecclesiastical courts in the colonies, or they might pass a Bill which should clear up the doubts which at present prevailed in the colonies as to the con struotion to be placed on the existing ecclesiastical law. He protested against passing anything like a Church Discipline Act for the colonies, because such a course would be unwarrantable interference with the domestic affairs of the colonies. What they had now to decide was simply whether they should legislate directly on the subject, or content themselves with simply passing a declaratory and permissive Act, which should explain the law and confer certain powers and functions upon the colonial Church. It was objected, however, that they knew not the wishes of the colonies on the subject, but so far from that being the case, a meeting of colo nial bishops was held at Sydney, in 1850, when it was unanimously resolved that the British Legisla ture should be petitioned to pass a law, enabling them to manage their own domestic affairs in church as well as political matters. He knew, from information he had recently received from the colonies, that the colonies were still of that opinion, and his object in proposing this Committee was to pass such a resolution as should meet those views. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Se cretary for the Colonies, when this subject was formerly before the House, complained that th e Bill whi c h he had brought in would place the Church of England in a pre dominant position, or destroy the supremacy of the Crown, or break up the colonial Church into small district churches, and for that reason the Right Hon. Gentleman withheld the sanction of the Government to the Bill. Now, the Bill was open to none of those ob jections; indeed, the charge that the Bill would destroy the supremacy of the Crown was not only unfounded, but perfectly ridiculous. True, the Bill might absolve the clergy from taking the oath of supremacy, because it was useless to impose unnecessary restrictions upon the Colonial Church. He therefore proposed to make no change in that par: of the Bill which related to the Thirty-nine Articles, but with regard to the oath of supremacy there was a wide difference between the colonies and the mother country. At home the oath was absolutely necessary, but it was not so in the colonies. But, did he propose to abolish the oath in the colonies? Certainly not. All that he proposed to do was to leave it for the Colonial Church to decide whether the oath should be taken in the manner specified in the Thirty-nine Articles, or • in some other shape more adapted to the circumstances of the colonies themselves. Restrictions, he repeated, • ought only to be imposed in cases of absolute imperial necessity, and acting upon that impression, he had re frained from introducing a clause into the Bill pro viding that each law passed by the Colonial Church should be subject to the veto of the Crown, but that was a matter of detail which the House would have to de termine when they came to consider its clauses. The only real and practical relation that subsisted between the Co lonial Church and the Crown was that recognised in the principle of patronage, and ho proposed to make provi sion in the Bill for continuing that relation, and securing the rights of the Crown in that respect. His object was that this Bill should be a relieving and a permissive Bill, not an enacting Bill ; and he had accordingly made certain changes in the phraseology of the Bill so as to prevent its having the appearance of the latter character. In the former discussion objection was taken to the phrase " declared member of the Church of I hgland. Now in England that was a phrase little un derstood, but is New , Zealand it was well understood; but, nevertheless, in order to remove this objection he bba ix se d to make the phra s e r u n thns : —"Declared a fide were membe: of the Church of England."

After a brief discussion on a point of order, Mr. HORSMAN said they ought to proceed with great caution in this matter. The principles must be shown to be clear and unambiguous, but he was sorry to say he was at a loss to discover what really was the abject of the Right Hon. Gentleman in pressing the resolution. The Government had announced that - of they intended t o t urn h • t eir attention to the subject the Colonial Church, and he no practical good that was likely could see ely to result from The this proposal.

The course, h owe ver, pur sued by the Colonial Secretary was widely different — it was manly and straightforward, and it must be gratifying to the House and the country to know that it would de feat the purpose of those who bad been instrumental in bringing the subject before Parliament. No practical good could possibly result from the adoption of this reso lution, but the Right Hon. Gentleman wanted it to pass, to print his Bill and send it out to the colonies. T hat mi g ht he the avowed object, bat it was not the real motive for this movement. The fact was, there was a party in the Church who wanted to establish a tyrannical system in the colonies, in the hope that they m ight be afterwards enabled to introduce it at home. Their real object was to destroy the fr ee s pi r it and pure simp licit y of the Church, for the purpo se o f s ubstituting in it s place. a new-fangled mostHoodhloopue, however, s d form of eepiscopaldi Parliament ficea aadn would o t priestly d w continue orst a n no a domination. its guard and prevent thi s . The Right Hon. Gentleman bad said that the bishops of the colonies has been deterred from meeting together to settle their own affairs,for fear of penal consequences. Of course the Right Hon. Gentleman believed what he said, but ho (Mr. Horsman) would take the liberty of disbe lieving it altogether. The bishops bad already met in synod, as ieverybody in the colonies knew. Who was to prosecute them for so doing, or under whae law were they to be prosecuted? He certainly objected to this Bill, and protested against its being transmitted to the colonies in its present shape. Considering the dangers and difficulties which now sur rounded the Church, any legislation for the distant colo nies ought to be attended with great care and caution. He thought this was a proposition most dangerous and absurd, dagnivedhn, he hoped that when the Government came next year to r e d eem the pledge, which he understood they to legislate on this subject, they would do so on principles clear, defined, and intelligible. Sir W. P. WOOD regretted that the Hon. Member for Cockermouth should invariably impeach the motives of any Hon. Member who might chance to differ from him in any opinion, and impute to him sinister and dis honest reasons for such differences.—(Hear, hear.) The other day it was himself (Sir W. P. Wood) who had been impugned with reference to the view which he had taken of the state of the law on another subject, and to-day it was the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford. The Honour able Gentleman said that this Bill had a concealed motive—that its real objeet was to establish an eccle siastical tyranny in the colonies. Certainly, if it had such a concealed motive, he had never seen any motive so well and dexterously concealed. (Hear, hear.) It was a very odd way of establishing an ecclesiastical tyranny to seek to give the laity a greater power and a larger share of legislation in church matters than was possessed by the laity of this country. The Hon. Gentleman said that some of the bishops in the colonies had done mischief there, but he (Sir W. P. Wood) thought that it was but necessary to refer to the progress of the Church in the distant colonies to show that the bishops had done great good. Many of them had been sent to a heathen population, or to a convict population standing in need of religious education even more than heathens.• Within the last fifteen years the number of clergy employed under the colonial bishops had increased threefold, from 500 to 1,600, and in the Cape of Good Hope they had increase sixfold. IThe power which the Church in the colonies wanted, and which he thought would be conferred by some Bill of this sort, was to show the force, energy, and vitality which it possessed when duly organized. In effecting this object, he hoped the Hon. Member for Cockermouth would join, hying aside his prejudices for once, and endeavour to aid the cause of Christian truth by adhering to Christian charity. Mr. BUTT strongly objected to this Bill, to the intro duction of which he was only induced to consent by the implicit confidence which he placed in the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Colonies. Mr. GLADSTONE wished to say a few words on a personal matter. For the first time in his public life he had felt greatly grieve&by the tone which the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary for the Colonies had adopted in his speech on the second reading of the former Bill. The language, however, which the Right Hon. Gentle man had used to-day had convinced him (Mr. Gladstone) that the expressions he then used lay within the fair limits of debate; and he wished spontaneously to say that ho entirely withdrew anything which he might have said when labouring under his first impression, and re gretted ever having used them. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he most cordially accepted the Right Hon. Gentleman's apology. The resolution was then agreed to, and the Chiirman being directed to move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to the Colonial Church, the House resumed, and leave was given to bring in the Bill. ItIETROPOLITAN BURIALS BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, commencing with clause 38. The remaining clauses of the Bill were agreed to. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE proposed a clause exempting from taxation horses and carriages kept for funeral pur poses only. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he apprehended it was impossible to move a clause of this nature in Committee on this Bill. It would be neces sary to go into a Committee of the whole House, and move a special resolution with regard to this parti cular tax. The amendment was then withdrawn. Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved a clause providing compensation for the owners of burial grounds which might be closed by the operation of this Bill. The CHAIRMAN said the same objection would ap ply to this clause as had been urged against the clause of the Hon. Member for Finsbury. If the compensation were to come out of the Consolidated Fund, a prelimi nary resolution would be necessary. _ After a brief discussion the clause was added to the Bill. The preamble was afterwards agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be received to-morrow. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (AMEND , MENT) BILL. On tho motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Sir GEORGE PECHELL suggested that certain alterations should be made in the Bill with reference to the town of Brighton. After a few words from Lord J. MANNERS, The House went into Committee. Sir GEORGE PECHELL moved the omission of clause 5, which related to Brighton. The motion was agreed to. All the other clauses were agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be received to-morrow. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES (No. 2) BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. PETO called the attention of the House to the proceedings of the late Board of Sewers, of which he was; a member, having been appointed with his Hon. Friend the Member for Whitby by the late Government. At the period of their appointment an understanding was come to with the Government relative to the com pletion of a sewer survey, and ultimately such a survey was accomplished to the satisfaction of all parties. It was now found, however, that the Board had no power to borrow money, and the works which had been planned out by the Board were suddenly brought to a close. The Board had arranged to borrow a large sum of money, the repayment to be spread over a period of thirty years, but the late Government would render the Board no assistance, and the majority of the members, including himself, were ultimately hawelled to resign, an erroneous impression tem ,g prevailed that the Commissioners had n- the taated using the Thames f m or the purposes of the sewerage ; but the : Board , he could assure su c h %n u !! and !the country, had never entertained would luea • The proper sewerage of the metropolis of moue quire an expenditure of nearly a million meat r e quire d an should her Majesty's present Govern- Beard,'A e any advice or assistance from the late pub w.ctild at all time be most ready to give it.

Re furnished to the country as a matter inci t e question w07, 84 „ a ,L ar ,1 that many years ago the Sc A - to baTa bees finally disPoo6" o f; - ' 3 4 tuaD7 new matters had come to light, and it might hereafter tarn out that the native Prince referred to in his motion was not quite undeserving the commiseration of the House. It was some time since a Noble Earl had moved for a portion of these papers in another place; but the papers produced were only part of those which Ihe now called for. The papers had not been returned to the secret department of the Indian Board, but to the East India Company, and there could be no difficulty in producing the documents which he asked for. The Noble Lord then proceeded to reeal to the recollection of the House the incidents and results of the campaign in Sinde, which began in 1838, and terminated In 1842. In 1841 Sir Charles Napier came upon the Snide scene, and immediately concluded an alliance with Ali Morad, which a alarmed Meer Koostun that he threw himself upon fhe mercy of the British General. The British,General, however, instead of rendering him assistance, referred him to his brother, to Ali Morad, and in the end Meer Koostun was forced to take refuge in Lower Sinde. Here the people, indignant at the treacherous treatment he had received from his unnatural brother, espoused his cause, and a terrible battle ensued between them and the British forces. The natives were defeated, and then it transpired that Ali Morad, through the instrumentality of a forged alteration, which he had introduced into a treaty, had secured property which belonged by conquest to the British Gorernment. A Commission was then appointed to investigate this charge, which was made at the instance of Meer Koos tun, and the forgery was proved. It was also established that the charges which had been preferred against Meer Koostun of conspiring, with the Court of Lahore, against the British Government, were wholly without foundation, and the evidence upon which they were attempted to be supported to be pure fabrication. Subsequent events, and after discoveries, had only tended to confirm the innocence of Meer Koostun, and it was only an act of justice to that unfortunate prince that he now asked for the production of these papers, which would redound alike to the honour of the British Government es to the credit of the victims of the abominable and unfounded charges which he had just been adverting to. In 1842 the opinion of the Governor- General was entirely in favour of the unfortunate Meer Koostun. But a few years later that unfortunate prince had been a homeless wanderer. He (Lord Jocelyn) had received innumerable letters from officers who had long resided in Sinde, testifying to the high character of these unfortunate princes. The position of the Ameers since the acquisition of the Sindian territory has been wretched in the extreme, some of them even bad been reduced to actual distress. The wives of these princes had remained at Hyderabad, where they lived in a hovel without even a mat on the floor, and scarcely protected from the weather. This was one of the most painful stories con nected with the British rule in India. It was a story known throughout Central Asia, and it had even pene trated into Africa. It was a question involving the ho nour of the British name, and which therefore required the utmost attention. In behalf of the exiled Ameers of Sinde he asked for the consideration and sympathy of the House. Sir ROBERT INGLIS said he felt it to be an honour and pleasure to second the motion of his lion. Friend. The treatment of the inhabitants of Sinde was the most strking instance of tyrannical oppression re corded in the page of history. He hoped that the House would attend to the suggestions of his Hon. Friend. Mr. BAILLIE considered that the speech of the Noble Lord bad very little reference to the motion which he had submitted to the House. He was surprised that the Noble Lord should now rake up this old question with regard to our Indian pclicy of 1848. If blame attached to any one it was to the Government which sanctioned the acts of which the Noble Lord complained, and of which he was, notwithstanding, a member. Six o'clock having arrived, the discussion was ad journed till to-morrow. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Advices by the Cambria inform us that there was a giving way in cotton of ie. per lb. at New York, on the 6th must, after the Great Britain had left that port; but that the market recovered its tone in some degree, partially rising 4c. on the re ceipt of letters to the 25th tilt. from Liverpool, yet clos ing heavily, with a very small amount of operations. The southern markets continue dull. The accounts of the growing crop were no less favourable than before. These advises had a somewhat unfavourable effect yester day upon the Liverpool market, which was spiritless, the sales being only 4,000 to 5,000 bales, with a slight incli nation in prices against sellers. It seemed probable, at the opening of our own market this morning, that we should have not only a flat day, but rather lower prices. This was the general impression ; but though there cer tainly has been an inanimate state of things, we have not had anything like depression. Rather lower prices have been offered for yarns ; and spinners have in many instances divided the difference with the buyers, whilst in many other instances they have refused to give way at all. The concession is small and not generally made. The sales have been of limited extent. In the goods department, the better qualities of 7-8 and 9.8 printers are in rather increased request, and still inclining to harden in price. Domestics appear to be slowly coming more into demand, but the very small advance latterly contended for is no less than before a bone of contention. Some purchases of the lower qualities of shirtings for India have been made to-day; the better sorts, however, but little inquired after. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a brisk demand for pieces, at former prices; and those manufacturers who were willing to submit to this had no difficulty in parting with their goods. The wool market is im proving, both in price and demand. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We have had a very flat market to-day, and scarcely anything has been done either in plain or fancy goods. The yarn market is languid, and the spinners have established a alight ad vance, though not equal to the increased cost of the raw material. The transactions in wool are pretty nu merous, but not so much so as they would be if the stocks in the market were larger; and the staplers are obtaining rather better prices. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—MOTO business has been done in the cloth hall to-day than last week, principally in the lower class of goods. Trade has been flat in the warehouses during the week, and not much has been doing to-day. Very few buyers having been in the town, those that have have bought direct from the cloth hall.

Viscount Edouard Walsh, a Legitimist, has writ ten to the newspapers from Vienna to state that he has declined to receive the sum of 22,000 f. awarded to him by the Directeur des Beaux Arts, for the re storation of his chateau of Chaumont, on the banks of the Loire, which is considered an historical monu ment. His reason is, be states, that his acceptance of the money was malevolently misrepresented in a political point of view; and that he is anxious to prove that he has not ceased to be devoted to the principles he has defended all his life. _ _ A telegraphic dispatch from Constantine, of the 13th, addressed to the Governor-General of Algeria, announces that the insurrection of the Haractas has been put down. The principal part of the insurgents had come and pitched their tents near the French troops, having sent delegates to ask for the Aman. General d'Autemarre, who has taken the command of all the forces in the east, is to regulate this affair on the spot. Communications have been re-established with Tebessa. The revolted tribes in the vicinity of Guelma are divided, and uncertain as to the conduct they ought to follow. Colonel de Tourville, commander of the subdivision of Bona, was to enter the country of the Ouled Dhan on the 13th. Their insurrectional movement appears to have been caused by the secret schemes of the Mussulman religious associations. It began in the environs of La Calle, and has been propagated by the excitations of the Charif of Ouargla. The Tanger, which left Bona on the 12th, at eight o'clock in the evening, and touched at Collo on the 13th, conveyed to` Algiers the news that the situation of affairs had improved in the sub division of Bona. VENEZUELAN BOND HOLDERS. The Venezuela bondholders will feel disappointed, we apprehend, at the supineness of the Legislature atCarac efts in not adopting the agreement made by theirGovern meat with Mr. Lord, but, on the other hand, they may be gratified to learn by the correspondence annexed that the Finance Minister is likely to use proper exer tion to meet all engagements. The mistake which Mr. Lord points out in respect to provision being made twice over for the same dividend is a singular example of loose account keeping, that we should imagine to be pe culiar to Spanish American States The following is from Mr. Lord's letter, dated " La Guayra, 25th and 26th of May, 1852," received by the Committee in London:— "To the foregoing duplicate of my respects of 10th inst., I now beg leave to add that the Extraordinary Ses sion of Congress closed ou Sunday, the 23d, without the least notice having been taken of the agreement since the sth of April, the day on which the Chamber of Re presentatives postponed the further consideration of it for four days; and thus it remains, neither approved nor disapproved, to abide the course of events between this and the Congress of next year! Meantime in the law of ways and means' for the ensuing financial year, com mencing on the Ist of July next, there appears this item—' For the payment of the dividends on the Foreign Debt 700,000 dolls.' " The project of law, as sanctioned bytthe Lower Chamber, provided as fellows :—For the curren t inte rest on the Active Debt at 3} per cent., and for interest on the Deferred at 1 per cent., the sum of 495,554 24.; on account of arrear dividends 200,000; and it was al tered as above in the Senate. The former of the just mnntioned sums was composed of interest on Active Debt, at 31 per cent., 64,048,161., at 61 dolls.--7---400,305 dolls.; ditto on Deferred at 1 per cent., 15, 2391 . 175.3 d.; ditto ditto=--95,249,26—t0tal dolls. 495,554,26. But as the latter commeoces from Ist Ootober, 1852, clear it is that the half-year's interest due on Ist April, 1853, should alone find place in the ensuing financial year. " I intend shortly passing another note to the Bliniater, simply 19 s t ate that, under exiSing oircunistpueot shall not again trouble him with my remonstrances, until I receive fresh instructions from the Committee so to do. " On the 22d Messrs.

IPSWICH, JUNE 22. _ We continue to be scantily supplied with wheat at market ; what sales were made were at prices fully a shilling above last week's rates, and a firmness prevailed easily accounted for by the continued wet weather experienced; indeed, if injury has not already been sustained by any other crop than beans, should the wet continue, it must reduce both the quality and quantity of the wheat crop.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states : The weather has been broken during the past week, and some amount of rain has fallen—rather more than was required— and this having been general throughout the kingdom, more firmness has been imparted to the trade, and some advance ob tained upon wheat. The present law range of prices, the short imports, and moderate state of stocks, makes us very suscep tide to improvement at this critical season. We had for this day's market a moderate show of wheat from our farmers, but very little foreign. The former was ready sale at fully is per quarter over the rates current last Tuesday, and no great dis position on the part of farmers (who are chiefly of a class well able to hold) to sell at the advance. More looking after foreign wheat, but only a retail business resulted; granaried parcels being held on higher terms than the consuming market will admit being paid. There is a consumptive sale for barley at our quotations. Beans are Is per quarter dearer. Peas in quired for. Oats are neglected. A very limited business passing in linseed ; fine qualities are scarce - several of the mills continue closed. Linseed cakes dull, and to be bought on easier terms. Rape cakes are the turn lower.

American Flour was not any dearer, but it is moving pretty ea tensively into the hands of our bakers. Indian corn has de clined fully Is 3d per quarter on the week. Oats slightly easier in price, but in fair demand. Egyptian Leans were 6d to 9d per quarter higher, and not many offering. Oatmeal, barley, and peas, were without change of value.

DEVON AND CORNWALL MINERS' GOLD COMPANY. —Yesterday a general meeting of shareholders in this com ; - pany took place at the offices in Clement's-lane, City Samuel Weatherley, Esq., in the chair. A resolution was submitted for the purpose of ama l ga mating thisafter with the L on don and Sydney Gold Company, wh leading to some discussion, was adopted unanimously. A vote of thanks was also passed to the chairman and directors for bringing about the amalgamation with the London and S y d n ey Gold Company. The mee ting then adjourned. ------ pair, and it was condemned. Amongst the men there appeared to be a person named Manuel Pereira, a co loured seaman, who, strictly speaking, was a Portuguese, and not a British subject. He was so far a British sub- , ject, however, that he was an articled seaman of a Bri tish ship. In conformity with the law of Smith Carolina it appeared that for some imputed offence he was taken out of the ship and lodged in the common gaol of the town. It was said that this seaman applied to the Por tuguese consul, but that no notice was taken of the ap plication. Shortly afterwards the master of the vessel left Charlestown, suffering Manuel Pereira to remain in prison. Mr. Mathew, her Majesty's consul at Charles town, had distinct orders what to do in such cases, and it became a question whether he should appeal to the United States District Court, or to the court of South Ca rolina. In the end it was decided that application on the subject should be made to the court of South Carolina. It then appeared that the judge refused the application for a writ of habeas corpus, reserving such decisidn for the upper court. The superior court was to meet in Co lumbia in May, and the latest accounts received by the Government were dated the 28th of that month, by which it appeared that the matter was still pending in the Court of Appeal. The present question was not a novel one, but it required very dulic ate handling. No subject led to a greater diversity of feeling or difference of opinion, than that which related to the mutual obligations affect ing the federal and provincial goaernecente. The most energetic remonstrances had been addressed by the Noble Lord the Mewber for Tiverton on this very sub ject; and he (Lord Stanley) believed that a relaxation had taken place in the law in ono of the states of the Union. He had also every reason to believe that in time public opinion would procure the abrogation of laws which, although they were carried out in ono of the most intelligent countries of the world, were nevertheless a disgrace and a ecandal to civilization.—(Har.) Mr. M. MILNES asked whether he was to understand that the Supreme Court of South Carolina had not post poned the hearing of the case? Lord STANLEY repeated that the Government were not in receipt of any later dispatch than the one of the 28th of May. i iftb writtion+ B IB ITRY RACES. (THIS DAY.)

Lord STANLEY was glad that this question had been put, because he thought it desirable on all accounts that public attention, both in this country and the United States, should as far as possible be called to the hard and oppressive working of those local and provincial laws which obtained in the southern states of the Union with respect to negroes.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in an swer to a question by Mr. Wodehouse, relating to the subject of the inequalities in the apportionment of the land-tax, and referring particularly to the evidence given by J. Wood, Eq., the chairma❑ of the Board of Inland Revenue, before a Committee of the House of Lords, on the subject of the burdens affecting real pro perty, in 1846, said ttylt he did not quite understand the question of his Hon. Friend; but he believed he wished to know whether there was any prospect or possibility of obtaining a juster apportionment of the land-tax. He had, therefore, to inform his Hon. Friend that the ques tion whether, under the existing law, a juster apportion ment of the land-tax could be procured, wfts about to be solemnly argued before the Court of Queen's Bench. The authorities of the Tower Hamlets had procured a rule nisi, and if the proceedings were not set aside, a juster apportionment would be obtained. Considering, therefore, that the matter was under the consideration of one of the superior courts, he did not think he was justified in speculating as to what the decision might be. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA. Mr. B. CARTER begged to ask the Secretary for the Colonies if he had directed his attention to the subject of the assistance which might be afforded to emigration from this country by obtaining the co-operation of the local Legislatures icy Australia in facilitating the reco very of loans advanced in England, in individual cases, for emigration purposes? Sir J. PAKINGTON fully admitted the importance of the question, and could only assure the House that his attention had been directed to the subject. He very much doubted, however, whether any legislation on the part of the local Legislatures would remove the difficul ties respecting the recovery in the colonies of money ad vanced in this country to further emigration. In many cases in which money had been advanced it had been recovered, or it had been appropriated i❑ sending out the families of the parties. Looking, however, at the great extent of the country, and the scattered nature of the Population, he doubted whether any movement in the direction indicated by the Hon. Gentleman would prove successful. Mr. MIME asked whether the Government intended to assist the hand-loom weavers in emigration? Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had before answered this question, when he had stated that applications had been made by the handloom weavers, and especially of Scotland, for assistance i❑ emigrating, and that partly in consequenc e of a relaxation in the rules of the Emi gration Commissioners, and partly owing to the efforts of private associations, improved facilities had been Afforded. THE EXPULSION OF BRITISH MISSIONARIES FROM THE AUSTRIAN DOMINIONS. Sir H. VERNEY begged to ask her Majesty's Go vernment whether they are taking any measures to ob tain compensation for the Revs. Messrs. Smith and Wingate, missionaries to the Jews at Pesth, and for the Rev. Mr. Edwardes, a missionary to the Jews at Lem berg, from the Free Church of Scotland, who were ex pelled from the Austrian dominions during the last winter, under circumstances of great hardship, and who sustained in consequence a considerable loss of property ? Lord STANLEY replied that all the papers had been laid on the table of the House, and that the Hon. Mem ber for Youghal (Mr. C. Anstey) had given a notice of motion on the subject. Under the circumstances he did not think it necessary, nor would the House, he thought, consider it desirable, that he should further allude to the question.—(Hear, hear.) Sir H. VERNEY said he was merely anxious to know whether any measures had been taken to procure com pensation for these gentlemen? Lord STANLEY replied that the subject had long been under the consideration of the Government. It had for some time engag- d the attention of Lord Gran ville and the Earl of Malmesbury, and such being the case, he (Lord Stanley) must refer the Hon. Baronet to the papers which had been laid upon the table.—(tlesr.) Mr. J. WILSON moved for copies of all correspond ence between the Bombay Government and the Indian authorities at home, in relation to the trade of Sinde and the establishment of an annual fair at the port of Currachee; with copies of inclosures contained in such correspondence. —Agreed to. VALUATION (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going' into Committee on this Bill, Mr. SCULLY moved that the House go into Com mittee that day three months. He objected to the pre sent measure on the ground that it proposed to alter the Act under which six counties had already been valued, and that it was contrary to the recommendation of tho Committee appointed in 1845. In fact, it entirely altered the system of valuation hitherto pursued in Ireland, and set at nought the pri nc ipl e l a id d own b y t h e P oor -l aw Commissioners. The true principle on which to proceed would be to ascertain the price of agricultural produce in Ireland, but over and above that it was incumbent on the Government first to ascertain what proportion of the poor-rates should be paid by the tenant and what by the landlord. Nearly 70 amendments had been given notice of, and for this reason alone he should oppose the further progress of the measure. The Government would do well during the recess to consider the whole subject of valuation in Ireland, for they might bo assured that the principle on which the system was carried on was most erroneous. He objected to the power of appeal that was proposed to be given under this Bill, and he also objected to a measure of such importance being taken at a period of the session when there were so few Irish Membess present. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving an amendment that the House go into Com • mittee upon the Bill that day three months. Sir D. NORREYS seconded the amendment. The SPEAKER having put the question, Mr. MON6ELL felt deeply the importance of this Bill, which he thought was well calculated to remove those evils of which they complained in Ireland. This was a measure which he belived would give to his country a fair and impartial system of valuation. He therefore entreated the House at once to go into Com mittee upon this Bill, 'which he believed would meet with almost universal favour in Ireland. Sir D. NORREYS hoped that the Government would not force on this measure at that late period of the ses sion. It was far too important a Bill to be brought in at such a time, and it demanded the attention of every person connected with Ireland. The Bill proposed to establish an entirely new system of valuation in Ireland and he hoped English Members would not force such a Bill on Ireland without giving the Irish Members an op portunity of bringing all the facts connected with the subject before the House. He would suggest that the present Bill be withdrawn, and that at an early period of next session a Committee should be appointed to inquire into the whole subject. Sir W. SOMERVILLE thought that the speech of the Hon. Member who had just sat down ought to have been delivered on the second reading of the Bill. He pressed on Government the necessity of proceeding with the Bill, for nothing could be more unsatisfactory than the present state of valuation in Ireland. Mr. V. SCULLY said that he was not opposed to a good system of legislation, but he could not see the ne cessity of proceeding with the present Bill within a few days of the dissolution of Parliament, when no time would be afforded for a full and fair examination of the question. They were now asked, within ten days of the prorogation of Parliament, to do that which different Governments had in vain attempted to do during the last 20 years. The average on which the scale of prices had been based were not to be relied on; and there was no provision in the Bill for auditing the accounts of the expenditure. The system to be introduced ought to be one by which all parties would abide without insisting on change and alteration every session. His own feeling was that rules should be laid down for taking this valua tion by responsible officers. He was as anxious for a good measure of valuation as any Hon. Gentleman on the Government benches. But it was now too late in the session to introduce so important a measure;aild, therefore, he suggested that the Bill sh ould be the with drawn for the present, and maturely eoneid e recess, with a view to have an efficient measureed intro duced in the next session. olreland would Mr. F. SCULLY was sure th e p eo p le introduced for not forget the description of measurseesasiaa;and before their country at the fag-end of every G ov ernment would long, he doubted not , her Igrt , 2 e s t a Y ci ! , be brought to account on that ti Lvill.hdrawn, and the Hom 1 e 1 The amendment wa s then w ent into Committe e on the Di On the 47th clause,ic p ,), spr oposed an amendment, giving Sir D.

The clause was brought up and agreed to. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The School Sites Acts Extension Bill passed through Committee, as also did the Property of Lunatics Bill. The Masters in Chancery Abolition Bill was read a third time and passed. The Distres.led Unions (Ireland) Rill went through Committee, as also, did the Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues Bill. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A messenger from the Lords brought up the foll?W' ing Bills, to which their Lordships had agreed:— Gedling's Estate Bill, without amendment. Corrupt Practices at Elections. Eufranchisement of Copyholds. Trustees Acts Extension. Militia. Aberdeen Boys' and Girls' Hospital. Lanesshire and Y , ,rkshire Railway. London Nt-cropolis and National Mausoleum. County Courts further Extension, with amendments: PIMLICO IMPROVEMENT BILL. On the question that this Bill be read a third time, Colonel SIBTHORP opposed the third reading of so important a Bill at that hour of the night—half-past twelve o'clock, and in so thin a House. All these ma provemnts were but so many expedients to expend the public money, as in the case of the Marble Arch and the National Gall4-rv. Lord MANNER S said it was a Bill to carry out an intention that was entertained ten years ago. The Bill then passed. The House went into Committee on the Excise Sum mary Proceedings Bill. The Bill passed through Committee. The Secretary of Bankrupts Office Abolition Bill passed through Committee. The Bishopric of Quebec Bill went through Com mittee. The Colonial Bishops Bill went through Committee. Tho House adjourned at Half-past One o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 22. NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT BILL. The Earl of DESART rose to move the second read ing of this Bill. The Noble Lord said he was called upon to perform the duty of moving the second reading of this Bill in the present anomalous session of Parliament, but he freely acknowledged that few Bills ware of greater importance than the Bill he had then the honour of asking their Lordships to approve. The Bill was important, inasmuch as it concerned the future welfare of a large and, he was happy to say, a rising colony. But the Bill also concerned the interests of individuals who, from their long distance and separation from this country, it was scarcely possible to realise the opinion teat they were our fellow-subjects, actuated by the same feelings and the same anxiety for the prosperity of this great and extended empire. Ho was sorry that a Bill of such importance had fallen into the hands of one who had comparatively bat small experience, and who was scarcely competent to undertake with advantage a task of such magnitude. But then he was animated to his labour by the reflection that the Bill was not a party measure, and that on a question of this nature all parties would be actuated but ny one desire, namely, that of supporting a measure which had for its object The good our fellow-countrymen. He trusted the same forbearance would be shown by their Lordships as had been manifested in another place, and he also trusted that their Lordships, waiving slight differences of opinion, would be induced to regard it favourably. The constitution of 1847 had been suspended for five years, and therefore it was incumbent on the Government to legislate afresh for the colony instead of renewing that . Act. The aboriginal inhabitants were far superior to most people of their state and condition; they were anxious for the advantages of civilisation; they under stood its power, and they were ambitions of attaining a higher rank in the scale than that in which they stood at present. With these facilities, he trusted that the aborigines by their incorporation with the European settlers would soon form one grand community in New Zealand. But a beginning would have to be made, and this the Bill proposed to do, not by means of one general council, but by six provincial councils, em bracing the nine settlements, each taking that which was most facile for its operation. The minutes of legislation for these provincial councils were strictly defined. This was a change. In the first Bill introduced by the late Government the superintendent of each council was to be named by the Crown; it was, however, determined by the present Government that the superintendent ' should be an elected officer—ell cted by the same ma chinery as the council itself. He (Earl of Desert) cons fessed that in the first instance ho saw several grave objections to this course; but upon consideration he felt satisfied that the good to be derived from it out weighed the possible evil of the result. There would be also a Central Legislative Courted, composed of members elected to serve, and members of the General Assembly. Tho Legislative Council would be nominated for life, and would consist of not less than ten persons. The General Assembly would be elected for five years, by the same machinery as the Legislative Council. He would not go further into the details of the Bill, except to allude to one important circumstance. By its provi sions the waste land cf New Zealand was placed under the control of the local legislature, the Crown reserving to itself all transactions in connexion with land, as between the colony and the aborigines. No man was more averse than he (Earl of Desert) to yield to the too frequently unreasonable demands of the colonists respecting self. legislation, because he was satis fied that they were only too often as disastrous to the colonies themselves as they were dangerous to the supre macy of the Crown; but these objections did not quite apply to New Zealand. The aborigines, as h e bad ' stated, were of a very different character; they wore anxious for civilization—they were desirous to amalga mate with the European settlers; some of them even had money invested in English securities, ono as much es 5001., another 3001, according to the statement of Go vernor Grey, and in a very few years there was every reason to hope that a general fusion would take plac e between them and the colonists, which would be th e greatest step yet taken for the advancement 'of New Zsaiand in prosperity. These were the principal features of the Bill. Suggestions would be made, no doubt, which would receive due consideration. But the question was not a party one, and he hoped the the Bill, as regarded its general principles, would be adopted without alteration. He was not one of those that desired to plant constitutions upon the English model in every colony, however fitted or unfitted for their growth; but there was always a time when it Wag for the interest of the parent country as much as for that of the colonies that all restrictions should be with" drawn and free institutions granted. The question then was, whether New Zealand was in that condition, and be thought it was. Ho dared not speak with certainty; the whole thing was an experiment; but it was ni n e o be r which he saw some future prospect of civilix;utillifng that country. Moreover, England was n onl i ded to her, that high mission which Providence had c would bo suc and there was every reason to ho cessful in propagating along withpep 0h5,1.71 libeChristianityrty those blessings and advantages to a people teu his l.s a ts c , kn fo o r w t l h e e dg g m o e o n d t .: alone could afford.—(Hear.)

The leading features of that charter, or constitution, were—complete freedom in regard to their legislation on internal affaire,complete, possession of the land o f th e sett l emen t, complete an d perfect freed om o f trade with tho mother cou ntry. the nomination of it s own officers, unlimited power of self defence complete powers of self-taxation, a nd, finally,. the whole expense of government thrown upon the esoleht t9 • As regarded the first of these points, complete control of the land was given in this Bill, for the firsCtitno to the colonists. Complete freedom of trade had only blar e cently conceded to the colonies, to t he dis g race mother country for many years. The power of i ! 1 taxation, too, had only been recently granted to colonies. In this Bill a great advance had certainl3l-he`m mado for the control of the la nd-fund was given colonies; but still that sh adow y absurdi t y cal 0 l a d r. t_! colonial civil list was retain ed. In the original e_honiLe7s of the North American colonies unlimited freed legislation had been, as he stated, given in internal does" i faire; but it was restra ined from legslation in eg oi do4 tion of the rights of t he Crown or of the Imperial _pou_liscuYl by these remar k a ble words—" any way reP to the laws of England."
