'the last election he (Lord Lovaine) was beaten—(Laugh be the submission of s ome of the i nsurgent tribes. " ter)—but he did not intend to be beaten this time, anL that they might lay their account tor.—(Hear, hear.) l Sir George Grey had alluded to a meeting held at Mor peth in the beginning of the year, at which he (Lord Lovaine) was not present, though he was in the neigh bourhood. He knew not how Sir George could imply that he had not fair play on that occasion, but he did know that at the very moment when it was arranged that neither party should move, the whole county was ea nvaased by the Whig party rom one end to the other. ---(No, no.) He had waitod a very long time, to the gi .eat indignation of. a vast member of his supporters, who said, " You'll be Neaten if you don't co me forward soon." His (leord Lovaine's) reply was, " I'll come forward when I'm asked." The consequence of this was, that at • the last moment, wi thin 38 hours, a requisition containing many bundred na rues of electors, of all classes, h a d been sent to him inviting him to come forward. The Noble Lord said he would now go through the points mentioned by his Right Hon. Friend. He denied that he had abandoned protection. He believed that a low duty on corn would not constitute any material increment to its ierice. The consumers individually would get their loaves at ex aottly the same price, and the only person who world feel tb.ss burden was the foreign grower. He admitted that at the present moment the state of the public mind was stroll as would not allow Lord Derby or anybody else, to pert a ss. duty on corn.—(Lond cheers.) But why should the landed interest be the only one allowed to suffer wil bout redress? Land, he maintained, could only bo kept in cultivation by what amounted to its re-purchase. He farmed land himself, and he found it unable to pay him. He believed it could not be made to pay under the best management ths,t could be devise?.—(Herr.) The Noble Lord pro ceeded to criticise the merits of the late Go vernmenr, which had no sooner fallen to pieces by its inherent weakness than it proceeded totform an alliance with those men of one idea—Messrs. Cobden and Bright. Wien regard o free trade, he adhered to that land of free trade advocated by tae late Mr. Huskisson, in oppo sition to the free trade introduced by the late Sir Robert 13 Ji. ea: , I. Sir G. GREY apologised to Lord Lovaine for using the term "Derbyite. He merely meant that that was the term used by the Ministry in preference to the term " Protectionist.' He was glad the Noble Lord was not a " Derbyite."—(Laughter.) With respect to the other personal matter, he would only say that when he was informed by certain of the opposite party that they de sired—and he believed they were sincere—that there should be no contest, he immediately gave imperative direcsions that the canvassing on his behalf should cease, and after that not a single vote was asked for. He would not follow Lord Lovaine into matters of general policy. They would meet together at the hustings, and he, for one, had no fear of the result. Lord LOVAME, on his part, disclaimed any the slightest imputation on the Right Hon. Baronet. The meeting then separated. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. REVISION OF THE .STATUTES: CA.3IBRIDOE, JUNE 3.--The Syndicate, appointed by grace of the Senate, March 7, 1849, and renewed March 15, 1850, March 19, 1851, and March OS, 1852, to rtiviset the Statutes of the University, and to report to the Se nate, having again taken the subject of the constitution and powers of the Caput into consideration, have recom mended that a grace should be offered to the Senate for the introduction of the following scheme into the pro posed new body of statutes:- 1.

At the same time the names of the eon-regent and regent ap pointed by the colleges, tho appointment of them rest ing with those colleges whose tura it may be to appoint the soratators, shall be certified to toe Chancellor by the masters of those colleges or their deputies. The names cf all parsots appointed shall be immediately published to the Senate by the senior proctor.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, under the circumstances, and looking to the hour, had no alternative bat to move that the Chairman do report progress. . After a few words from Mr. L. HEYWORTH, Mr. ANSTEY drew attention to certain omissions which had been made in the estimates of sums that had in former years been paid by the Treasury, and yet not authorised by Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the items to which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman referred were payable under distinct Acts of Parliament. The CHAIRMAN, was then directed to report pro gress, and the House having resumed, he did so accord ingly, and- the report was ordered to be received on Monday at twelve o'clock, and the Committee to sit again at twelve o'clock on Thursday. The Scutch Mills for Flax (Ireland) Bill went through Committee.

Mr. LACY presented a petition from a place in Surrey, praying for the inspection of nunneries. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition trom Aberdeen, praying that no alteration might be made in the present laws relating to the importation of corn. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY asked the Colonial Secretary, in the absence of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, whether it was the intention of the Government to place colonial sugar on the saw) footing as foreign sugar, and to permit the refining of it in bond. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that his Right Hon. Friend had lately seen a deputation on this subject, but he could not say what answer had been given by his Right Hon. Friend. NEW ZEALAND BILL. Sir. J. FAKING 10N, in ri'dng to move that the House should go into Committee on this Bill, said — Sir, before moving that you do leave the chair, I have several petitions to present in favour of the Bill. One is from Mr. Fox, who has been nine years a resident of the colony, and principal agent for the New Zealand Company. Another is froin Mr. Wells, who for eight years has been connected with New Zealand, being a resident of Gladstone. The next is from the committee of management 'of the Canterbury Association. Another is from-Mr. Cooke, a nine years resident of New Ply-. month. Another from Mr. Garrett, five years in the colony.- Another is from a number of gentleman who intend proceeding to Canterbury as colonists. The next petition is from Mr. Gibbon Wakefield, the prayer of which is directed to the question as to whether there will be provincial legislatures or a central legislature, but all the petitions express a strong desire that this Bill shall be allowed to pass into a law. Now, Sir, before moving that you leave the chair, I am disposed to hope that I shall save time, which I hold to be extremely valuable, by entering Into an explanation of some changes which it is my in tention to propose to the House in this Bill. Since the second reading of this Bill I have received suggestions from several quarters, but principally from some • Hon. Members of this House, gentlemen of the highest emi nence and distinction—gentlemen with whom I have no political connexion, and whose courtesy and kind feeling in offering these suggestions in the manner which they did make it incumbent on me to say that I should feel myself wanting in duty, as also in feeling, did I not thus frankly acknowledge them.—(Hear, hear.) I must say, Sir, that the suggestions received from these gentlemen are of the greatest weight—not only as coming from men in their position, but also in respect of their own intrinsic importance, as well as that they are entirely free and wholly apart from all party feeling, and offered entirely with the object of facilitat ing the passing of this Bill in the most acceptable shape. —(Hear.) I might say that my sole object in intro ducing this Bill is to give to the inhabitants of New Zealand the best and most acceptable form of govern ment consistent with Imperial considerations which it is my duty to remember .—( Bear, hear.), The sugges tions which I have received have been principally h. upon two points. I will, therefore, consider. the l l e choice I have had to make between them, and particularly e is er tlL be e s t "e t provincial dis tricts of much difficulty—nemel „ of providing government for the ' what Zealand. I have had to of this colony of 'New choose between three alternatibves—ennameeetliyo,n tthhaet,Bill which I introduced; secondly,.s ei a w egdg t the vieg precedent . in stead of taking the Bill as itto t o f d e ol provin cial legislatures, I should rather the . Act of 1842, and give dis n tinct case of Australia, in and, thirdly, the suggestions I the Hon. tinct municipalities; re ceived, and to which the _ a mendments of apply that, Ba ronet opposite ( Sir W. the Bill a provision f . 7 a . ii M tie o s ies - I wo ,s r h th o ) uld ap .

No w , th e i differences this—whether they shall legisl a t e on all ed ly been prefera b t le he to ßi g u iv a e s to ma tters, or only on ce rtain s p ecified ones? Sir, with th e fullest consideratio n havew l h u ic n h do l ubt this Bill, I must say n ow stands. Looking to the nature of the restrictions, I must say that these bodies cannot be regarded as colo nial l e gislatures. Totheother course re commen d ed by the Hon. Baronet (Sir W. m olesworth), n ame l y , t h at .t h e central legislature should control all the localities, I must sa y there are very grave and seri ous o bj ect i ons. One of them is the obvious loss of time, to say noting of the monopoly exercised, almost invariably, in all such cases, by the superior or controlling legislature. I be lieve, taking precedent and experience into consideration, yon will find that colonial legislatures have not shown themselves disposed to part with powers once entrusted to them, even though their doing so would be for the benefit of the minor districts. I might, if necessary, ad duce the case of Australia; and Mr. Gibbon Wakefield, one of the gentlemen from whom I presented a petition this evening, correctly observed that, " in all these cases prevention is far better than cure."—(llear, hear.) Sir, I must submit to the House that, if we are disposed to give to those different localities the powers of inde pendent government for their own interest, it is far better that we should now lay down broadly and firmly the basis on which this Government is to be formed, than to leave them to the uncertain result of the view that the central legislature -may take of the subject.— (Hear, hear.) I will now, with the permission of the House, proceed to advert to the fourth plan, if I may so say, as laid down by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford (hir, Gladstone). Sir, that Right Hon. Gentleman expressed a very strong objection to the course which lat the outset expressed a determination to take as regarded establishing a su preme legislature in this colony. Now, I cannot at all agree in the view of that Right Hon. Gentleman. I un derstand the Right Hon. Gentleman to say that " the powers of these localities should be independent of the central legislature." If that plan were to be adopted it would certainly lead to great confusion. I believe that, in stead of simplifying legislation, you would find it diffi cult to define the powers as between the Imperial and the central legislatures, and that you would give ground for complaint, which we all should be most anxious to avoid. Sir, I hold it to be essential to the welfare of this colony that there should be one supreme legisla ture.—(Hear, hear.) Having consulted several gentle. men of great knowledge and experience —gentlemen who are deeply interested in the we lf are of New Zealand, as the petitions presented by me this evening demonstrate— I am now in a position to s t ate that all those individuals who feel an interest i n th e well-being of New Zealand unanimously desire that I should proceed with this Bill aa it at present st an d s . — (Hear, hear.) But anxious, on my own part, to meet the suggestions which have been offered to me from different quarters, I submitted to these gentlemen so interested in this co l on y w h et h er, if I were to r e t a i n the Bill as it at present stands, or to make certain alterations --to which I shall refer—they would accept the Bdlwlth or without alterations alterations? et and the ans wer was that these se only be approved of but gladly accepted.—(Hear, hear.) I have determined, therefore, on an important altera in the Bill as it stands in regard of localities. Instead of the superintendents of these colonies being no minated by the governors, they shall be elected in the different colonies by the same constituencies as the assemblies.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to y question of elective executives, the Noble Lord (E Grey) who preceded me in the Colonial D e partment lai d it down that anything like an elective executive was un known to the British constitution. Now looking tit the _____ --- f wording of thi s Iftlf, I mus t say that these Governments soundest___ principl es o f eeloni e t govtrnr e : nt, that in local ' Partake so much of th e nat ure of muaicipalitier, that I miners th-y shaeld m e ddle as littl e e a possible with the do not think I shall b e op en to a charge of departin : settlers and inhabitants.

Honourable Baronet the Member for Ripon (Sir J. Baronet. He reminded the Hon. Gentleman that Eogt Graham), as also by the Right Hon. Gentleman the land, which was about the size of gew Zealand, was et Member for the University of Oxford. In than case one time divided into seven different states under the I conceive I have taken ground which the House cannot Heptarchy, and in the United States the same principle except to, and which I feel I would not be justified prevailed. There were many precedents of a provincial in departing from. Th e on l y ground which I have government united under one head. The propo s i t i on of taken, and less than which I w ill not bring myself to the Hon. Gentleman differed only in degree from the accept, is that whatever may be the equitable claims of one before the Committee. Both agreed in proposing the New Zealand Company in 184 7—whatever these that the local functions should be discharged by 1 00 el claims may be, lam bound to see secured to them by bodies, whether municipal or not ; and that the central this measure.—(Hear, hear.)

I think the House will admit that, looking at the agreed with him that that was the right appeal to Act of 1847, I have no right to consider whether the make, but when he said that the colonists took hie bargain between the Crown and the Now Zealand Com- view of the question, he must beg to say that be pang was a good or bad bargain.—(Hear, hear.) The thought the Hon. Baronet had read the documents Act of Parliament has settled that; and the Act itself wrongly. In all cases they had expressed a wish for ma' has been fully explained by the subsequent correspon- nicipal institution s i n eac h l oca li ty; b ut when he use d dense. I, therefore, take the spirit of tne c o n t ract as it the word municipal, he did not use it in the confined, stands.

The design for covering the heretofore open , area of the Exchange at Antwerp, by M. Charles Marcellis, is now being carried out. The quadrangle to be covered is about 138 feet long, and 102 feet wide (it has been usually called larger), and M. Mareellis is forming the roof, in two springs, if w© may so term it, wholly of cast-iron and glass, carried on twelve pillars, also of iron, placed against the ancient struoture. The height of these pillars is about 33 foot; the height from the floor to the underside of the oval rim against which the twelve main ribs abut, and from which rises the central cupola, is about 57 feet, and the total height in the centre is about 94 feet. The oval opening is about 30 feet, on the longer axis, and 20 feet the shorter. The ribs, it will be peen, continue above this, forming ex ternally a conical roof on an upright base, with a series. of crocheted pinnacles around it. It must be remembered that a building about 23 feet wide, forming a covered 1 ambulatory, with rooms above, Surrounds the quadrangle. The two ribs of the new construction, in the centre of each side, have ties running over this building, and the whole of the ribs aro connected at the foot by other ties. Quite recently M. Marcellia has endeavoured to lead the authorities to re• erect the Bourse entirely, and has pub iished a design for it founded on the old structure, bat wholly of iron, together with a series of able pamphlets in support of his views. He did not succeed, however, in obtsioiug their acquiescence, and we will not say we are sorry for it.--Builder. :ASSAULT BY A FISH.—The Paris Tribunal of Cor rectional Police is frequently called upon to award damages for injuries inflicted by dogs and other animals, for which the owners are civilly responsible, but it is rather a novel thing for it to be called on to do so in th e case of a fish. Such, how ever, was the case on Saturday, when a dealer in shellfish at the fish-market was summoned by a Madame Grebuchet, who claimed 30i. damages for the injury caused to her nose by one of the defendant's lobsters. The plaintiff, wishing to re gale her husband with a tit-bit for his dinner, went to the market, and was bargaining for a lobster, which she took up in her hand, but threw it down again, saying it was not fresh. The dealer protested that it was alive, but Madame Grebuchet assertedthe contrary, and that it even stunk. To satisfy her self that such was the case, she a second time applied her nose to it, when the lobster, as if in defence of its owner's veracity, seized hold of Madame Grebuchet's nose with its claw, and held it fast. She screamed for assistance, but, instead ofimmediately rendering it, the dealer and her companions around burst out into a laugh, and it was some little time before the nose of the lady could be released. The fishwoman in her defence maintained that she was not to blame, and that the mischief was solely caused by the imprudence of Madame Grebuchet, in applying her nose so close to the lobster's claw, when she had been told that it was alive ; and the Tribunal taking the same view of the case, the complaint was dismissed, and the plaintiff ordered to pay the costs. NATIONAL SHIPWRECK INSTITIITION.—An extra• ordinary general meeting of this institution was held on Thursday, at the offices in John-street, to consider certain alterations in the rules and regulations of the society, Mr. Thomas Wilson, late M.P. for London, in the chair. Tice rules having been read seriatim, various alterations were proposed and agreed to, and the minutes of the previous meeting having been confirmed, it was resolved that a new life-boat sh-uld be placed at Bideford, to replace the one stationed there by the institution in 1830. A reward of 4/. 10s. was Lranted for saving a porti on o f th e crew o f th e b r i g Amy, of ondon, wrecked a short time since, near Barry's Cove, on the coast of Cork; the brig, having struck on a rock, im mediately went to piece.s r and out of a crew of 18 persons only three were saved. Three coast gaardsmerr, seeing the unfortunate situation of the shipwrecked men, descended a stupendous cliff, tied ropes round their bodies, and gently hauled them up, with the assistance of several countrymen. The poor men were found to be quite exhausted and almost naked. Some other formal business having been transacted, I the proceedings closed. • Only twenty public Acts have received the Royal assent, and thirty-four local Acts, in the present session, which commenced on the 3d of Febrnary— j ust four months, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, June 4. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR presiding. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the Represen tative Peers fur Scotland Act Amendment Bill passed through Committee. Their Lordships thei. adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 4. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)2 SUPPLY. • On the motion for bringing up the report on the Com mittee of Supply, Mr. WILLIAMS took "the opportunity of protesting against it being understood that to•day's proceedings should be taken as a precedent in future for taking supply at twelve o'clock. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to know what the probable expense of completing the new Houses would be, and whether any further steps were to be taken for improving the ventilation of the House? Mr—HAMILTON, in the absence of the Noble Lord the First Commissioner of Works, was not prepared to answer either question. The report was brought up and agreed to. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. ANSTEY moved for copies of all correspondence and papers on the subject of Colonel Ontram's removal from the office of Resident it the Court of the Guicowar, or on the subject of the alleged corruption of officers of the Bombay Government With bribes from Baroda. The SPEAKER said as the motion was unopposed it must be moved as an opposed return later in the day. The motion was accordingly withdrawn, and the House went into Committee. On the.motion that 17,920/. be voted for defraying the expenses of Schools of Practical Art, Mr. WILLIAMS said he highly approved of the vote, and it was agreed to. On the question that 2,036/. be voted for the Profes sors of Oxford and Cambridge, Mr. ANSTEY opposed the motion because the two Universities were of a seetarian character, and ought not to be supported by the State. He was anxious for the time when religious iliscussion would not be tole rated in the House of Commons, and on that account he was equally opposed to de Maynooth grant as he was to the one under consideration. Mr. WILLIAMS said there had been reports of the duties performed by these professors, aid he was sorry to find that not more than two or three pupils attended their lectures. He was also opposed to the vote. The Universities were rich enough without coming to Par liament for votes of enblic money. Sir R. H. INGLIS supported the vote, and reminded the House that the grant was ofiginally made by the Crown out of its civil list, and it would be a breach of faith to withdraw it now, more especially as the Crown received a consideration for the grant. After a few words from Mr. ANSTEY, Mr. CARTER said the universities had refused to give any amant of the large funds at their disposal, and they had therefore no right to this grant. There was a distinction to be drawn between this grant and that voted for the London University, because the London University was anythingarian, while the two Universities of Oxford and Cambridge were sectarian. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the vote 78 Against it ... Majority 70 The vote was then agreed to, as was also 3,9571, for the University of London. On the vote of 7,5001. for the Universities of Scotland, Mr. ANSTEY objected to the vote on the ground that two-thirds of the people of Scotland, the greater portion of whom belonged to the Free Church, were prohibited entering these colleges, which were falsely Called national educational establishments. He moved that the vote be expunged, and said he should take the sense of the House upon it. Mr• HAMILTON thought it would not be con sistent with jus!ice to interfere with a vote of this nature. Mr. W. WILLIAMS considered that the universities of Scotland stood in exactly the same position as the University of Loudon. They had been productive of vast benefit to Scotland as well as to the United King dom, but ho objected to the item in the vote for the pro fessors of divinity. Mr. A. HASTIE also objected to the same item. Mr. COWAN said a strong case had been made out for the exercise of more liberality and justice to the universities in the northern parts of the kingdom. Lord DUNCAN observed, in reply to the accusation, that the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge were sectarian. in character, that he had himself seen'a Dis senter attending lectures at the latter institution. Mr. ANSTEY intimated he would withdraw his amendment, and propose that the vote be reduced by 6551., the sum awarded to professors of divinity. Sir, G. CLERK defended the vote. He thought, if an exception was to be made in favour of any class of professors, it should be with regard to those who were immediate* , connected with ecclesiastical studies, be cause a large amount of ecclesiastical property was handed over to the country by the Scotch universities on the condition that these votes were to be granted annually—(Hear.) These universities had no money of their own, and it would be a gross breach of faith to withdraw the support which they had hitherto received from Parliament. Air. GEORGE THOMPSON should vote in favour of the amendment. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the reduction •.• ••• • • 16 Against it e . • • 86 • Majority ... e ••. ••• —7O This and several other items—for the Royal Hibernian Academy (3001.), Royal Irish Academy (300/.), Royal Ire land (1,7100, were then ag ree d to.

The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the reduction ..„ 13 Against it 90 Majority —77 The vote )vas agreed to as well as one of 21,350/. for the buildings connected with the British Museum. On the next vote of 5 2,3434 for salaries and expenses at the British Museum, Mr. STANFORD complained that under a new arrangement the salaries of the custodians were fixed at 57/. a year, which Was not equal to the wages of mechanics. Mr. GOULBURN said the only alteration made by the trustees was to give these officers a fixed salary in stead of paying them by the day—an arrangement which they considered was more just and fair, as formerly these officers received no remuneration when absent from any cause. • Tho vote was then agreed to. A vote of 2,4954, allowed for the National Gallery, was agreed to. On the motion that 14,920/. be granted for the support of the Geological Survey, Mr. CHAR ['ERIS asked the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he had come to any determination relative to the establishment of a Geological Museum in Edinburgh? The CHANCELLOR of: the EXCHEQUER said he had considered the mat*, but though the Govern ment felt considerable interest in the establishment of such museums, yet the i cetimants were so numerous that they had not yet been able to come to any decision. Lord MAEION said that with reference to the former vote, for the National Gallery, he wished to renew a suggestion which he had formerly thrown out under the Government of Sir Robert Peel relative to the estab lishment of a Gallery of National and Historical Por traits, s imilar to that W h ich was contained in a par t of the P a l a ce of Versailles, Opportunities were occurr in g very frequently ;whi ch, with a little money to spare and some one on the 100k -out, we might very soon make a valuable collectio n Di e cotereporary portraits of the great men whom the country had produced a a' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER' 1d he anticipated the ti me would soon arrive when t h e whole e subject of the stttte of the fine arts and the national museums of th e country would come under th e at tention of Parli ament, wh' nthe sn s , moni tion of the Noble Lord would receive full eattention. The subject was one, he knew, In which the accom plished Prince who had already done so much for the fine arts in this country took great interest, and he thought in the mean time it migh t b e tately left to his attention. After some further conversation.the vote was agreed to. for defraying A vote of 4,018/ the ex pense of scientific • works and experiments was nex t agreed to. Votes of 5,0001. for for the erection of a National Gal lery in Edinburgh, and 4 049/. for the civil establishment in Bermuda, were also d agree to.

The grant was distributedequally among all sects, and it was arranged that as the present recipients died out, it should not be renewed. After a fe Newde w words from Mr. P.
