Vb trbf Mbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. RICRMOND RAILWAY COMPANY , (THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the shareholders in this line took place this day, at the London Tavern, in order to elicit the opinion of the shareholders upon a provisional agreement for the sale of the line to the South-Western Company. The Secretary having read the advertisement convening the meeting, Mr. CHADWICK, Chairman of the Richmond Company, took the chair. The agreement was to the effect, that the Richmond proprietors should sell the line, and receive South-Western stock at nominal par, viz., 501., the South-Western baying really only paid 411. The meeting was adjourned till the day of the general meeting, several proprietors thinking the terms offered by the South-Western Company were not sufficient, and that even the basis of the agreement was not properly taken. The meeting then separated, a vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman and the directors. RAILWAY COMMITTEES, (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A. CORN WALL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition. Mr. Piawkshaw was examined by Mr.'Sergeant ) would be morally impossible to construct a railway through a country like Cornwall without being obliged to have recourse to steep gradients and acute curves. The curves had been improved since last year, as well as the gradients. There were worse gradients on the Manchester and Leeds line, namely, I in 43 and 44. Cross-examined by Mr. ROWE—Had never seen so undulating a isecticri as that on the line before them for such a length. The curves and gradients on the Manchester and Leeds were of course an ex ception, as was the case always in steep gradients. Was not aware of the gradients on the Lar caster and Carlisle Railway. Re-examined by Mr. AUSTIN—WouId have a perfectly level rail way if he could . ; but it was impossible, from his knowledge of the country to have anything of that nature on this line. Bad gradients could not be avoided in this country without an enormous expense. 1 in 60 milht be worked safely, and with ease, at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Mr. Aherne said he was ready to call Mr. Vignoles, Mr. Cubitt, and other engineers on this point. The Citataxasi said, that having produced two eminent engineers, it was unnecessary to adduce any more evidence of that nature to show that the line could be worked with perfect safety to the public. The assents, &c., having been handed in,. Mr. AUSTIN stated that the case for the Bill had closed. A discussion was raised as to whether evidence as to land value should be given, which ended in Mr. Laidman being put in the bok, for the purpose of proving the value of the same on the Bod min branch. After hearing some flirther evidence, the Committee adjourned, Room D sheep, to Liverpool principally. The imports were timber, guano; dour, 31 CE" and coals. Mr. Nicholson, merchant, of Annan, deposed as to the trade and district of that town. Annan was the beet port on the upper part of the Solway, and was highly eligible for the construction of docks. The line, he was persuaded, would be of great benefit to the town and harbour. The trade of Annan, both with Glasgow and Liverpool, was greatly on the increase. With such a line he considered a con siderable portion of the trade of Port Carlisle would be diverted to Annan. The Inhabitants generally were in Its favour. im e p t=amin e d—li e h ad lived a long time In Annan, but no great Improvements had been made. There were two jetties put up in 1835, by the steam -boat companies, and nothing had been done. Since then he didnot think the Solway a dangerous navigition, SS but little loss had taken place the last twenty years. A line north of Annan to the Caledonian would no doubt be great con venience, but he would not p re f er i t to the Canotdebranch. Mr. Laurie, farmer, near Dumfries, examined, said he farmed 9110 acres there, and paid 1,300/. rent annually. ti e h ad walked over the whole route of the line. The country it intersected was mach in want of draining, and there was a great deficiency of clay for tiles. There were It6,ooocultivated acres; of this 50,000 acreswanted drain- tag. It would require 2,075 acres to drain an acre, and the same quantity Is what wer called " soles." 103,750,000 tiles, and as mazy soles . . would thus be repaired. Supposing tlfteen years were allowed to drain these 50,000 acres, 20,680 tons of tiles would be annually re quired. Tiles at present cost 30s. a thousand, and they were cf an inferior kind —they could be had at Cumnock of a sOperior character at 20s. a thousand. The whole cost of draining an imperial acre with Cumnock tiles, including carriage, would be 61. 13s. Id. He thought at least 11,000 ton of tiles would he brought from Cumnock. He thought 6,000 or 7,000 tons of tiles would be brought on the line South of Dumfries. Cross•examined—They could also drain with stones, but they were not plentiful. Ile thought Cumnock tiles would come to all the in termediate points between that place and Dumfries. He was not aware of any clay along that route. Re never said lately, that now the Ditinfriei line had passed the Commons the Caledonian might stop their works, and they could make a good bargain for the materials. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at eleven o'clock. Room 3. SHEFFIELD, ROTHERAM, BARNSLEY, WAKEFIELD, NUDDEREIFIED, AND 41001. E, This Committee met to-day for the first time In No. 5, Abingdon street . the Earl of [tailor in the chair. After the usual preliminary proceedings, Mr. TALBOT opened the case at great length on behalf of the pro moters and pointed out the great advantages which the proposed line would confer. Mr. Ante appeared on behalf of the Duke of Norfolk and other opposing petitioners. The remainelet of the day was eccnpled in hearing evidence of a general nature on the merits of the line, the particulars of which were of the usual character, and possessed no feature of the slightest public Interest. The Committee adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP LXVII. M ETROPOLITAN RAILWAY TERMINII. The Select Committee , to whom these 131115 were referred met this Morning in room 22, In the new houses. The members of the Committee were, the Earl of Lincoln, chair man, Admiral Bowles, Mr. Cripps. Mr. F;stcourt, and Lord Jocelyn, The following are the Rills referred to this Committee : London and South-Western (London-bridge Extension). Eastern Counties (Tottenham to Farringdon-street). North Kent (City Extension). South-Eastern (from the Waterloo -read, near Hungerford-bridge, to the Greenwich Railway). re solve d The prtoeliminary proceed with he's having been a rranged, the Committee NORTH RENT EXTENSION. Mr. Sergeant Wa.txoflAM declined, however, to offer any evidence, in conaeiuence of the main line having been thrown out before tile Committee of the House of Commons. The BUJ Yrit4 accordingly negatived, Room B. LEICESTER AND BEDFORD. (Continued ftom our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. Gulston's case having been concluded, Mr. lIILDYARD then proceeded to lay evidence before the Com mittee on behalf of the South Midlands Railway. Mr. Langlands and Mr. Watkins in their examination gave evidence of the great want of a line of railway to Northampton, a desideratum supplied by the South Midlands line. Mr. name' said he was Mayor of Northampton when the South Midlands line was thrown out, and had every opportunity to ascertain the feeling of the inhabitants of the town, who were unanimous in favour 01 that line. He said there were three iron foundries there, requiring =bout 5,000 tons a year. The Derby iron was very preferable to the Staffordshire, and would no doubt be used if access to it were made easy. From 5,000 to 6,000 hands were employed in boot and shoe making. One house, which employed iOO hatuls, made 20,000 boots and. 60,000 shoes annually, which, he calculated, would give about 150 tons weight. Some other witnesses were called, who spoke to traffic on the South Midlands branch, and the desirableness of having it. The Committee adjourned till eleven to-morrow. tiLS.SI3OI7I, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE. The examination of Mr. Kennedy (continued from our Afternoon Edition)—He did not think the Crawick branch would injure the property of Mr. Thomas Colebroke, but rather improve It. Cross-examined—The principal portion of the fattening district of the south of Scotland was between Castle Douglas and Dumfries, and the most of the sheep and cattle raised event south from Dumfries. The English markets were the beet for them. He did not think a great deal of the traffic he had Broken of would find its way on to the Caledonian if it was formed. :though the Caledonian line would not get 10 per cent. as stated in their prospectus, with this line in existence, it might still pay. He Was not aware that only Sj per cent. was proved for the Caledonian line last year. If so, he could not say that it would pay along with the Nithsdale line. He had not considered the question. The Duke of Buceleuch examined—He said he was well acquainted with the route of the present line. It ran for 22 miles through his property. lie had also property on the Crawick branch. When the Nithsdale line was first proposed he was against it, as it came very near his residence at Drumlanrig. That had been altered; and now, from his knowledge of the wants of the district, he supported it. It would confer great benefit on the valley of the Nith; and open the Cumnock and Sanquhar coal-fields. The line would offer greater facilities for draining than now, and increase the value of property. He did not think the valley could be well served by lateral branches, as there were high lands right and left, and therefore there ought to be a line running through the valley. The line would be of great use in conveying stock to the Glasgow and Liverpool Market,. The Crawick branch would be the means of connecting Dumfries and the valley of the Nith with Edinburgh, by means of the Caledonlau line. All the coal for the Wanlock lead mines, which were very extensive, had to be carted from Sanquhar. There would be more traffic on the part of the line south of Dumfries than that from Curanock to Dumfries, and therefore he thought the whole should be placed in the hands of the company, that the better part Might make up for the working of the inferior portion. The Canobie branch could be easily connected with the pits at Canobie ; and he had uo doubt great benefit would be conferred on Annan and Dumfries by that means. With respect to draining, a great want of tiles was experienced, on account of the deficiency of clay. The tiles now used were brought from Cumnock. Were facilities for obtaining them at a reasonable price given, they would be largely used, as the soil was favourable for draining. The farmers and inhabitants were strongly in favour of the line. Ire did not think the blithsdale line would compete with the Caledonian line for the through traffic, though lie thought it would take the Ayrshire traffic. Cross-examined—Last year he believed the Glasgow and Dumfries line on the one side, and the Hawick and Carlisle line on the other side, were brought forward as competing lines with the Caledonian. They were brought forward again this year. Ha supported the Hawick line as well as the present line ; he did not know whether the llawick line would again be brought forward, but he hoped it would. Even though the Caledonian line through traffic might be affected by this line, he thought the interest of the public should be considered before that of a company. He did not think any of the Glasgow through traffic would be taken from j the Caledonian line. Mr. John Hunter, farmer, of Tyndrum, in the county of Dumfries, examined. Ills brother and himself also rented farms in Reis and Invernessehlre. Witness's evidence was generally in corroboration of the evidence previously given by Mr. Kennedy. Mr. hairs, dealer In fat stock, who had assisted Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Hunter in making up the table, was examined shortly is support of the items therein contained. Mr. Lennie, of Dalewinton, convener of the county of Dumfries, examined—The district round Dumfries was a very rich one. There was a great deficiency of lime in the district, on account of the expense of carriage from the Closebnm lime-works. The want of coals was also severely felt. He had taken up forty shares to promote the railway. The line, he was persuaded, would be of im mense benefit to the whole district. A toll-bar on the road towards his estate let last year for 4801., exclusive of coach charges. The traffic was regularly increasing. He knew of no clay in the district for making tiles. The traffic at present by the Edinburgh coaches would be conveniently accommodated by the Crawick branch. Cross-examined—He thought if the line was formed he could get supplied with lime at half the present price. It was now 10s. a load laid down on his farm. He could then get It for 55., he thought, if the line was formed, and that supplies were had front Cumnock. He could not give the populations for five miles on each aide of the line, but he could give the population of all the parishes that would be intersected. Mr. Mackee, land proprietor and convener of the county of Kirk cudbright, generally deposed that in his opinion the line would be of great advantage to that county. All the proprietors and inhabitants on the eastern part were in its favour. Mr. Marmaduke C. Maxwell, landed proprietor, of Terregles, in the county of Dumfries, gave evidence to a similar effect. He thought the line would be of the greatest advantage to the whole district. If it were formed, he believed that both lime and tiles would be supplied by it at Dumfries. Cross-examined —lf a line were formed from Dumfries to Killhcad, near Annan, there could be an abundant supply got from there. It would yield a larger supply than Ciosebum. Mr. Gordon, solicitor, of Dumfries, examined—Dumfries was the principal town in the south of Scotland, and contained upwards of 13,000 Inhabitants. He had prepared a total of the traffic and trade of Dumfries and neighbourhood, which he would hand in. The witness was here examined fin support of the various details supplied in the table, regarding the carriage of goods by land, and the steam and sailing vessels connected with the porta of Dumfries, An nan, and Kirkcudbright. There was a large trade between these ports and Liverpool, but the regularity of the steamers was very uncertain. He believed if the line was formed, the most of the cabin passengers and the valuable merchandise and fat stock would go by it. Dumfries was a large cattle and pork market, and the trade was on the increase. There was also a large trade in hosiery in Dumfries, and ho believed it was increased. The feeling of the town of Dam fries was all but universal in its favour. He believed there was but one person against it. Cross-examined—There are four manufacturers iu the hosiery line in Dumfries. The principal exports of Dumfries were cattle and ONDON d ND SOUTII-WESTERN (LONDON BRIDGE EXTENSION.) Mr. HOPE then opened the case of this railway in a speech of con siderable ability; the principal point to which he directed the atten tion of the Committee was the report et the Metropolitan Rail ways Termini Commission, who had reported favo.i ably of the scheme. The Company proposed by the Bill before the Committee to extend their railway to London-bridge from a point in the York-road, Lambeth, where the South- Western Reilway would terminate, according to an Act of Perna ment :obtained last year. The Bill, which was granted last year by the Legislature, to the South Western Company, did not, how ever, give them the power of effecting a communication with the River, that defect would be removed by the present Bill, which proposed to construct commodious goods and passenger stations in immediate contiguity with the river on the southern side. The pre sent amount of passenger traffic on the South Western Railwa was upwards of 1'500,000, and the tonnage of goods upwards of 1100,000. A considerable ncrease might be expected, if a more convenient station could be obtained near the eastern portions of London, and thus remove the delay and expense of additional cartage. The mileage at pre sent belonging to the South-Western Company, and sanctioned by Parliament was 227 miles, and there were projects before Parlia ment for the construction of 150 miles more, thus together giving accommodation to Southampton and Dorchester, in the south of England, and vrestwarel as far as Exeter. The means of communi cation would be also given by this railway to the citizens of London, between Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Richmond, Egham, Staines, Guildford, and a number of other places adjacent to London. The length of the line would be about one mile ; it was proposed to construct it upon a viaduct the whole distance, by which means all damage to property would be avoided, and the recommendations of the Royal Commission • would be fully carried out. The estimate of the cost of the railway would be about 5C0,030/. ; for this sum 338,0e0/. would be required for the puschace of property, and the sum of about 160,0001. would be required for the works. The line was proposed to be constructed not so much for the purpose of deriving any profit to the company, as for the purpose of affording accommodation to the public. The opposition to the Bill was not large. The only public buildings they interfered with were Rowland Bill's Chapel, in the Blackfriars-road, which was not of a serious nature ; a Quaker's meeting-house, which also was not of a very alarming nature ; and there was also a point of the triangle in the Borough market, which they just touched ; this, however, they were prepared to avoid by an alternate line. There was also a petition front the inhabitants of some almshouses; the cause of their com plaint was the noise which would be created by the passing of the trains. The present inhabitants were not, however, at present in a state of quietness or rest, being in the immediate vicinity of Messrs. Barclay's brewery, and he believed that if the present railway were constructed, the noise would be considerably diminished. The War dens of St. Saviour's church had also objected, on the ground of the in terruptioe to Divine service, by the passage of trains. This evil would be remedied by the usual arrangement on metropolitan railways to run no trains during Divine service. In conclusion, he begged to apologise for having trespassed so long on their attention ; and hoped that the Committee would carry out the recommendation of the Royal Commission, by granting the preamble of the Bill. Mr. MERREWETIIER made an application to the Committee to be allowed to bring under the consideration of the Committee some clauses which he, as representative of the South-Eastern Company, wished to introduce into the Bill before the Committee, those clauses the Learned Counsel wished to be discussed before the Committee granted the preamble of the Bill. The Committee decided that the course was quite irregular, and refused therefore to grant the application. The Chairman, however, stated that the Committee could not declare the preamble of the Bill proved until they had an assurance from the parties that the interests of the South-Eastern Company, In conformity with the recommen dations of the Royal Commission, should be provided for. The formal proofs required under the Duncombe resolutions were then put in. Mr. Ross :Myles M.P. far Guildford, was then called, and ex amined by Mr. GURNET, who stated the inconvenience of the present station to persons travelling between Guildford and London, the pro posed station in the York-road would not afford sufficient accom modation to the persons residing on leaving business in London. A saving of three quarters of a hour would be effected by the proposed station at London-bridge over the present Nine-elms or the York road station. Cross-examined by Sir. Sergeant MearnY —Did not think a station on the Surrey side of the Southwark-bridge would afford to good an accommodation as a station at London-bridge, in consequence of the narrow and crowded access to it through Queen-street. At the concision of his examination the Committee adjourned. dioceses. He would refer to the petitions which had been presented against the union of these two sees in proof of the feeling which prevailed in the principality on the subject. He would refer also to those which had been present from Gloucestershire, Essex, and Kent, to show the general feeling of the country. (LEFT SITTING.) of the union would take measares to correct the dis graceful state of things. CAPTAIN WARNER'S INVENTION. Lord INGESTRE said he wished, with theleave of the House, to correct an erroneous impression, which it would appear a portion of the speech which he had delivered the other evening had occasioned out of doors. It was reported that he had toldthe House that he knew of his own personal knowledge that Sir Thomas Hastings had stated to the late editor - of the Times that Mr. Warner's invention was of no value. Now, he did not know this of his own knowledge, but Mr. B arnes , th e late editor of the Times, had told him that the gallant officer had admitted in general terms that he attached no value to the invention, As they were not desirous that he should re'd the letter, he would conclude by stating that he had been anxious to correct the statement he had previously made in this matter. Sir DE LACY EVANS said, that in reference to the subject of Captain Warner's invention, the newspapers had laid great stress on the services of the Noble Lord (Lord Ingestre), and thought that through his ex ertions justice would yet be done to the Gallant Captain. He would ask the Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) whether there was to be any difference shown in this case by the present Government to that which had been shown by the previous one. He con sidered that the last Government had done all that was necessary in the matter. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the present Government had no intention of offering opposition to Captain Warner's invention without in vestigation. SUGAR DUTIES—COMMITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANS.

BULLER was introduced by Colonel Fox and Captain Mangles, and took the oaths and his seat for Liskeard. Colonel ANsoN was introduced by Viscount Ebrington and Mr. Tufnell, and took the oaths and his seat for South Staffordshire. Mr. O'CONNELL entered the House shortly after four o'cl , _ck, and took his seat on the Ministerial benches. THIRD READINGS. The Tunbridge Wells Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed. The Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' Amendments to the Glasgow Municipa. Police, and Statute Labour Bill, the Heywood Water works Bill, and the Sheffield Cemetery Bill were agreed to. REPORTS. The reports on the Ely and Huntingdon Railway (Bedford Extension) and Ramsay's Estate Bill, were brought up and agreed to. CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS. The report on the Cam - pbletown Harbour, Water works, Paving, Lighting, and Watching Bill, was fur ther considered, and the Bill ordered to be engrossed. The Andover Canal Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord BROOKE presented a petition, from the clergy of Warwick against the union of the sees of Bangor and St. Asaph. The Noble Lord also presented a pe tition from Leamington Priors, praying for the institu tion of local courts. Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition from the Governors of St. Thomas's Hospital against the Charitable Trusts Bill, and praying that it might not pass into a law, or that if it did they might be exempted from its operation. Also a petition from the. Arch deaconry of Sarum, praying for the appointment of a Bishop for Manchester. Also a petition from Essex against the union of the Sees of Bangor and St. Asaph. Also a petition from Exeter against the Catholic Relief Bill. The order of the day for resolving the House into a Committee of Ways and Means was then read. Sir W. CLAY presented a petition from the sugar refiners of Sunderland, in favour of an alteration in the present sugar duties. The petitioners complained that under the existing law the supply of sugar was deficient, and that unless an alteration was made to admit supplies of sugar from all countries, great inconvenience would take place. Last year the quantity received was short of the demand, and this year it would be more so. The petitioners therefore prayed that all foreign sugar should be admitted at the same rate of duty. Messengers from the House of Lords brought up several Bills, which were ordered to be laid on the table. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose and said-Mr. Speaker: Sir, if her Majesty's Ministers had been disposed to consult their own case, they would not in the present state of affairs of the sugar question propose any considerable alteration in its duties ; they would have many reasons to all( ge in support of this course ; they could have alleged the advanced state of the session-the labour which the House had just gone through, the recent formation of the Govern ment, and the intricacy of some of the details connected with this question. These reasons would have formed in the eyes of many grounds, sufficient for a postponement to another Session of any large, or considerable or permanent alteration of the duties on this question. But, Sir, in our opinion, there are considerable evils suffered by this country in connexion with the present state of these duties.-(Hear, hear.) We, Sir, consider that the great body of the public suffer by the increased price of sugars-a commodity of which no less than 12,000,0001. a year, or a sum ranging from 11,000,0001. to 13,000,0001. is expended in this country. We con sider also that the revenue is a considerable sufferer by the mode in which those duties are raised. We con sider it most necessary, for the sake of the public, for the sake of the interests most concerned, for the sake of trade and commerce in this country, to endeavour to arrive at a permanent settlement, and not to expose this question to discussion and doubt from year to year. -(hear, hear.) With these motives, however unpre pared we may seem to be, I am now about to propose to state to the Committee the general reasons on which we have conceived the plan which I am now about to propose to this House for the permanent settlement of the question. Sir, it has been generally acknowledged by all, by the most intelligent writers for many years, that the sugar duties have been enormously increased. Mr. M'Culloch, in his "Dictionary of Commerce," as well as in his recent work on taxation, states, that the in crease in the prices of sugar, supposing foreign to rise from 21s. to 255., is in the last three years not less than 3,240,000/. it year. During these and the following years, by the advance in .he price of sugar, it was rendered unattainable to a atrge class of consumers, and, consequently, extremely .imited in the demand. Passing now from what has happened in former years, I will take notice of the Man proposed by the Right Honourable Gentleman .he late First Lord of the Treasury, the effects of that plan, and the views with which it was introduced.- (Hear, hear.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer at that time, in speaking of Java sugar, said that, observing the price at some months to be 225., and at other times at 245., ae would take the average to be 20s. per cwt., which would give a total consumption of 43,000 or 44,000 cwt. But in the course of the year a very considerable rise taking place, and the Gazette prices averaging in the tour first weeks of April at 30s. a cwt., and in the four last weeks of December at 355. a cwt., the hopes of the Right Hon. Gentleman were to a great degree disappointed. I will next take the financial statement of the First Lord of the Treasury, who said he considered it probable that the reduction of the duty would equally increase the consump tion, which he estimated from 120,000 to 160,000 tons, giving a return of 2,240,0001. The Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded upon the reducs tien of sugars, and reduced the duties to the amount of I ls. per cwt. on the colonial sugar which was more than sufficient, but by limiting the field of supply, and raising the duty with reference to other sugars to be admitted to supply the market, his estimate was widely different from the truth . With reference to the other kinds of sugars there is the actual facts of the case with reference to sugars from the Ist of January, 1845, to January Ist, 1846. The Right Hon. Gentle man calculated upon 160,000 tons of colonial sugar, the actual consumption was 237,632 tons; sugar clayed or equal to white clayed. The Right Honourable Gentleman calculated upon 7,000 tons--the consump tion had been 1,107 foreign free-labour sugar ; the amount estimated was 5,600 tons; the actual consumption was 3,809 tons foreign free labour clayed, or equal to white clayed 180,000 tons, the actual consumption only 54,000 tons. British Plantation Muscovado sugar was estimated at 2,240,000, the actual consumption was 3,326,904, instead of 1,140,000 clayed sugar ; the receipts were 18,000 ; the difference between fo reign free labour and Muscovado sugar was 116,700 and 88,000 tons. The total decrease, according to the estimates, in the revenue received was 481,0001. That was not the actual decrease, as a large proportion of this sugar entered before the Right Hon. Baronet proposed his plan, for the actual difference is only 341,529/. Now, Sir, I think these accounts are sufficient to show that, while the Right Honourable Baronet acted upon the principle of reducing the duty for the pur pose of effecting an increase in the consumption he was per fectly right. But it was an absolute failure when he pro• posed to introduce different classes of sugar at differential and high duties, and it was only there that he failed to make up his revenue according to his estimate. I will now proceed to state what are the !general prospects, as obtained from various sources as to the pro bable supply of sugar for the coming year, taking the statement from the.sth of April, 1846, to the sth ofApril of 1847. In the estimate which I now hold in my hand, which [consider extreme, and by no means likely to be realized, t is stated that the quantity of colonial sugar in ware house is 40,000 tons ; that statement sets forth the ac tual quantity, and is considerably less than the usual amount. The estimated imports, calculated from the sth of April, 1846, to the sth of April, 1547, apporrtion, to the West Indies 125,000 tous ; from the Mauritius, 50,000 tons ; and from the East Indies, 80,000 tons ; amounting in the whole to 255,000 tons, according to this estimate ; and the most sugar which may be expected from other foreign countries would be 20,000 tons more, making in the whole 275,000 tons, to which 40,000 tons have to be added, giving a total of 315,000 tons ; from this 45,000, the usual amount must be deducted, leaving 270,000 tons. Now, Sir, I have here various other returns with respect to the supply of sugar for the period I have mentioned, which appear to me to be no nearer the case than this. One is a statement put forth by those interested in the trade of the West Indies, which gives to the West Indies 125,000 tons, the Mauritius 50,000 tons, and the East Indies 75,000 tons, making altogether 250,000 tons. There is another statement with respect to refined sugars, which apportions to the West Indies 115,000 tons, to account, which riti us 4o ,oo giv O es ton t s o , antdheto West e st East Indies 70,000 tons, making altogethe r 225 , 000 tons. I have another Indies 110,000 lE t ohansastv, Indies,te a o n o t:hheer fromM 35,000 Mauritius rit tons,iu persons s making 4ens, altogether o g o a O g e d n the tons, and to the r O e O wa tons. bhoiouht makes the whole s u p p l y 230,000 tons. Now, 230,000 tons may b e ta k en as a fa i r es ti m ate of the s u p p l y of sugar for the forth com i ng year. I h av e bad a stat ement prepared of the effect - o f t h e Right Honourabl e Gentleman's plans, f rom J anuary , 1845, to Janu ary in the present year ; b u t t h e statem ent from April t o i 1 t r 8 seod: Lord J. STUART presented a petition from Ayr, praying for the revision of the criminal code. Mr. M. GIBSON presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester, praying for the repeal of all ill-advised imposts on sugar, that the im post and export duties on colonial produce might be abolishej, and that all restrictions on commerce might be removed. The consideration of the report on the Dublin Wide Streets Bill was postponed till to-morrow, at the sugges tion of Mr. O'Connell. Mr. HUDSON presented a petition in favour of the Wisbeaeh and St, Ives Junction Railway. It was ordered to lie upon the table. LAW OF SETTLEMENT. Sir GEORGE GREY presented a petition from Devonport, praying that a residence of five years might not confer a settlement. TOBACCO DUTIES. Dr. BOWRING gave notice that he would, on the 4th of August, call the attention of the Government to the state of the tobacco duties, with a view to prevent the smuggling which was so extensively carried on in that article. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL AND SMALL DEBTS BILL. Mr. STE WART gave notice that he would, on Weduesday next, move for a Committee to consider and report on the Charitable Trusts Bill, and of the expediency of giving the Commissioner of the Court of Bankruptcy a power to hear complaints, and to investigate all charges as to the misapplication of trusts, with the power also to call for all the accounts of charitable trusts, with a view to their investigation. He would also put a question to the Secretary for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Government to push the Small Debts Bill, so that it might pass this session. Sir G. GREY said that it had been already announced that it was the intention of the Government to pass the Bill as soon as possible, and the Noble Lord under whose care it was in the other House, had already fixed as early a day as possible. SIR ROBERT PEEL. At this period Sir Robert Peel entered the House, leaning on a stick ; the Right Hon. Gentleman seems to suffer considerably from the accident which has befallei, him. He took his seat between Sir James Graham and the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Right Hon Gentleman looks pale and careworn. REGIMENTAL STAFF-OFFICERS. Capt. LAYARD rose to ask the Right Hon. Gentlemat. the Secretary-at-War, if it was true, as had been late]) mentioned in the military newspapers, that a new war rant for giving an improved retiring allowance to regi mental staff-officers after a certain long full-pay service, had been prepared by Mr. Sidney Herbert, and approver. of by Mr. Goulburn, and which only required the royal sign manual, in order that it might be promulgated to the army ? Mr. F. MAULE said that he found when he cam. into office that a warrant was drawn up and prepare( on the subject, and waited only for the royal sign manual. DEATH FROM FLOGGING IN THE ARMY. Dr. BOWRING, rose pursuant to notice, to inquire of the Secretary -at-War, whether his attention had been called to the case of Frederick White, a private in the 7th Royal Hussars, whose death is reported to have been caused by severe military flogging, and whether any steps have been taken in consequence ? Mr. FOX MAULE said that he was glad that the Hon. Member had brought the subject forward. The facts of the case were simply these ;—Frederick White, the subject of the Hon. Member's motion, was a private in the 7th Hussars. He had been guilty of one of the grossest acts of military insub ordination of which a soldier could be guilty. While in the performance of his duty be had struck a non-commissioned officer violently with a heavy poker, and had not the officer perceived the intention of the culprit, he would have received a most severe wound, if not have been killed. He was, however, knocked down by the blow. For this crime be was tried on the 13th of June, by a court msrtial, and sentenced to receive the military punish ment of 1.50 lashes; that sentence was afterwards con firmed by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and on the 15th of June the sentence was carried into effect. And lie might state the course which was pursued in the army with respect to soldiers sentenced to be flogged ; it was this :—whenever a soldier was sentenced to receive punishment by court-martial a certificate, signed by the surgeon of the regiment, was sent to the War-offiee, stating that the person was in a fair state to undergo punishment, so that it might not be carried into effect unless he were in a proper state of health. On the 15th. of June, as he had stated, the punishment was carried into effect ; and so far from any interference having taken place by the surgeon of the regiment by de siring the man to be taken down, and that the commanding officer had refused to do so, he begged distinctly to state that there was no interference either on the part of the surgeon or commanding officer. After receiving punishment the man was taken to the hospital in the usual way, where he was visited, according to the practice in the army, by the commanding officer every day. After remaining in the hospital some time he was reported convalescent, and so far recovered as to have been ac tively engaged in " fatigue duties." He was visited by the surgeon and commanding officer, who stated that in two days the man would be fit for duty. On the 16th of July Colonel Whyte received information that the man was dangerously ill. He immediately visited him in the hospital, and under the circumstances he desired Dr. Warren, the surgeon of the regiment, to report his case immediately to Sir James Macgregor, in order that further advice might be sent down ; but in two days afterwards the man died, and a post mortem examination was immediately made of his body, not only by the surgeon of the regiment, but by two other me dical officers deputed by the Horse Guards, and that examination bad satisfied the public that the death of the man had not been caused by the punishment inflicted on him. He understood further, that the medical officer appointed by the coroner was of the same opinion. He had but one other observation to add. The public seemed much horrified at a statement which had gone abroad, that the skin on the back of the individual had been removed. Now this statement was incorrect, as that skin was removed after death for the purpose of proceeding with the post mortem examination. The subject was now in course of investigation by a coroner's jury, and he would at the present say no more. What he had said, however, would, perhaps, be consi dered enough to show that the case had been greatly exaggerated, and that the proprietors of newspapers would always do well to make themselves masters of the particulars of cases like these before they alarmed the public mind.—(llear, hear.) THE LONDON FEVER HOSPITAL. Mr. P. BORTH WICK, seeing the Right H on . Baro net the Secretary for the Home Department in his place, would take that opportunity of putting t o t h at Right lion. Gentleman the question of which he had given notice, but which he had not had an opportunity of putting to him the other night. He had no doubt, from the auspicious manner in which the Right Hon. Baronet had entered upon the performance of his duties, that he would give a satisfactory answer to his question. By an extract from the medical report of the London Fever Hospital in the year 1846, it would appear that no less than 130 patients were received into that establishment front the Marlborough Union workhouse. The accommodation, it would appear, was of the worst description; between 90 and 100 men were crowded into a room only thirty feet nine inches long and twenty feet wide. The question which he should put to the Right Hon. Baronet was, whether this matter had been at all brought under his consideration, and, if so, whether he had tak en t h e necessary steps to compel the Com missioners of the Poor-law to do their duty in that im portant department? It was most clear that much injury was suffered by the paupers, who had to seek relief in the metropolitan workhouses, and much injury was done to those who lived in the neighbourhood of the hospital in question. Sir G. GREY said that in consequence of the state ment which the Honourable Gentleman had re ferred to having appeared in a public newspa per a few days ago, h e communicated with the Poor-law Commissioners on the subject. He under stood from them that the statement about the size of the room was untrue. However the Commissioners would shortly present a report on the subject of the allegations, and when that was presented he would bring it bet* $llO UMW, to hoped, 19teyer, the guardians April givrs 250,000 tons. I think we cannot say, the dutie s according Ito that statement, sup p os ing were to be nominally what they were last year, that there was less than 20,000 tons of increased con_ sumption. There was a statement made by the Righ t Ron. Gentleman at the commencement of this year, when he stated his general plan with regard to the trade and finances of the covaatry, in which he proposed THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1846. that there should be a reduction on free labour sugar to 19s. 10d. from 235., but that the duty on all foreign sugar shonld remain the same. Now, Sir, I have an extract from a circular, published at Liverpool, and which is dated Feb. 2, 1846. It says, " The effect of the alteration in the sugar duties will be a reduction of 3s. 6d. per cwt. for foreign free-labour sugar.'' I believe that statement made by a person of experience in trade, and which is thoroughly bore out by the fact that you will be disappointed in obtaining an increase in the revenue proportionate to the increase in the consumption of sugar ou which a heavy tax is paid. Now, let it be borne in mind, that supposing the consumption is 250,000 tons, there will be a tax upon the people of this country, under present circumstances, of I,soo,oool.—(Hear, hear) — and that is a tax which does not flow into the Ex chequer.—(Hear, hear.) I should, therefore, be na turally disposed to propose the admission of other foreign sugars into the markets of this country to supply the deficiency under which we at present suffer very materially. But, sir, we are met by au objection which has hitherto prevailed upon this Ilousa, contrary to the ssytem which has prevailed during the last four or five years, but which has not prevailed here during the present year, viz., that the people of this country should not be allowed to buy in the cheapest market. There is also another principal objection raised ry_ainst the removal of the duties on sugar, and that is, that if all sugar was admitted free into this coun try, we should be encouraging the slave trade, and that there are other considerations which outweigh all financial and commercial views, viz , those which are connected with the comtort and weltare of the people at large. Sir, in examining that argument which I do not propose to do at any lengh, I will first point out what I think to be the weakest part of it. That argument fails, because while you refuse admis sion to your home markets of the sugars from foreign countries you place no such barrier on the admission of other productions—of cottons, tobacco, copper, and various other things which are produced by slave labour; and, therefore, Sir, you do not actually carry into effect or even pretend to carry into effect those humane views which persons who are most opposed to the admission of slave produce consistently maintain. I hold in my hand a circular with respect to the sugar duties. After pointing out the increase which had taken place in the produce of cotton from 1790 to 1845, the paper proceeds to call down the indignation of all moralists against slavery. But the paper omits one important point. It states no reason why the United States should be excepted from the principle of exclusion.—(Hear, hear.) Now, nobody can have forgotten the elo quent statements that were made iu this House a short time back by a Right Hon. Friend who sits near me, with respect to the slavery and the slave trade.—(Hear, hear.) I mean the Right Honourable Gentle men, the Member for Edinburgh. Nobody can deny the force of the observations which he made, or the facts which he then stated. We admit a large quantity of the produce of America, and thus, to certain extent, held out an encouragement to the slave trad; but, to preserve our consistency upon this subject, we ought to say to the United States, "we will not admit your produce until you solve the problem which now oc cupies the attention of the Anti-Slavery Society, of how emancipation shall be brought about in the United States." In fact, for the same reason that they ex cluded sugar they ought to shut out American cotton. The same thing may be said with regard to many other articles. With regard to copper ore slave labour is freely mentioned in the production of that article, and yet we do not exclude it from our markets.—(Fjear.) Such is your position if you proceed on this exceptionary rule in regard to the produce of foreign countries. But you have not been able to keep this ground in your dealings with these countries. You have not been able to supply yourselves only from your colonies, in which slavery does not exist, or from countries where free labour alone exists.—(Hear, hear.) And in increasing your sup plies, you have been under the necessity of admitting sugar from the countries where slavery, or something approaching it, does exist, in order to meet the wants of the markets of this country.—(Hear, hear, hear.) In your dealings with these countries you have not been able to carry out the principle on which your :present law is founded. You have not been able to inquire what is the peculiar state of society in Java, or whether it is not a state of slavery, something at least approaching to it. What the particular state of society is in Manilla, you have equally failed in in quiring into. In obtaining a larger supply of sugar from tin se countries, you hate not ventured to act on those principles of law upon which you have proposed to act, but you admitted their produce on the faith of the treaties you had with them ; you have admitted their produce as the produce of the most favourned nations, and in competition with the produce of free labour.—(Hear, hear.) I say you have admitted the sugar of these countries, and though the qaantity intro duced may not huve been great, still you have backed out of the strict principle which you have laid down. There can be no doubt of this. But in doing this you have refused to Spain the advantages which you have given to other countries. Spain claimed under the treaty with her the right of sending produce to this country on the footing of the most forward nations You have, in agreement with your principle been obliged to do, though the act, I am bound to say, does not redound much to the honour of a great country like this.—(hear, hear.) It was shown by the Spanish Ministers two years ago, that within the last ten years Spain has claimed the benefit of the treaty of being admitted on the footing of the most favoured nations, but it has been repeatedly refused.—(Hear, hear.) On this subject I cannot but be of opinion that although the treaty with that country might not shortly warrant its produce being admitted on the most favourable terms, yet that the principle of the most favoured nation ought to have been applied to it. The same principle ought to have been applied to the fish eries of the two countries, at Newfoundland and elsewhere. If the salt fish of England, then the salt-fish of Spain must be refused alio; and the same rule must be applied to the salt-fish of France. The Spanish Minister said that he acknowledged the principle, but he said also that these treaties required to be revised by the different eountries. That is the sum and substance of the conversation between the Ministers of England and Spain, proving sufficiently that the opinions of English and Spanish Ministers were against that state of things. Now, when persons stand up for a permanency in these duties, they must endeavour to find excuses for their opinions. But there are further and more vital objections against the admission of slave sugar. They do, to a certain degree, diminish the price of free-trade sugar even in Great Britain ; but the resources of commerce are injured, but yet the spirit of commerce is too ener getic to be bound by the stipulations on this question. But what do the merchants do ? They endeavour to find markets in other countries ; they search Europe ; they coast the Mediterranean; they reach Petersburgh and other places, and in this way they find markets for their slave-grown produce. Now, Sir, this affects our markets, it may be in a very inconvenient way, and attended with a good deal of loss to English commerce ; but still it does away I with the objection so often urged, namely, that no em ployment is given by England to the cultivation of Cuba and Brazilian sugar. I see it sometimes said— popularly said that this slave-grown sugar is the produce of tyranny the produce of crime—that it is so much stolen material, so much stolen goods, which it is asked us to consume. This is very well, but what would be thought of a person who would come with a quantity of stolen sugar, stolen from an adjoining warehouse, who would come to a shopkeeper and offer it for sale. The shopkeeper would say, " Why, these are stolen goods ; I cannot buy them, but I have a neighbour who has no scruples. I will direc you to him, and he will buy ; I can pur. chase from him again with the full drawback.' and by this proceeding the whole morality of the pro ceedings is lost.—(Hear, hear.) I therefore, Sir, fcr these several reasons on which I will not further dwell, hold that the ground which has been hitherto taken by the Governments of this country has not been the correct one—(flear, hear) ; and that we must in this instance, as in the propositions of the late government, adopt the principle of re moving all restriction, and of admitting the people of this country to the best and cheap est markets ; and acting on the principle we must admit the sugar of foreign countries into the United Kingdom. But, Sir, while I say that you have no sufficient grounds any longer to refuse to the people of this country that benefit, COMMONS SUMMARY. The House met at Four o'clock. After the transaction of private business, Mr. F. MAuLE, in answer to Dr. BOWRING, explained the circumstances attending the flogging and subsequent death of Frederick White, late of the 7th hussars. The House having resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, Lord JonN RUSSELL rose to state th 9 course which the Government proposed to pursue as regards the Sugar Duties. 'Had the Government been disposed to COZtoiat their own me, they nail 139 t bare wanted plausible reasons for postponing the consideration of the question of the Sugar Duties. But the public which spent 12,000,0001. a-year in sugar suffered much from the increased price of that article, the revenue also suffered and it was most desirable for the interests of trade and commerce to endeavour to come to some permanent settlement of the question. The high price of sugar in this country had long been the subject of complaint, in asmuch as it rendered the consumption of sugar impos • sible to the poorer classes, and at the same time, in con sequence of the diminution of supply, diminished the revenue. The price had risen, during some parts of last year, to 7s. above the price calcu lated on by the late Chancellor of the Exche quer, while the revenue from the sugar duties had been actually less, by 341,5291., than the amount estimated by the Eight lion. Gentleman; and this en tirely owing to the deficient supply consequent upon the supply not having been drawn from a sufficiently exten sive area. The Noble Lord then proceeded to state the prospect of the supply of sugar for the coming year, which he estimated at 230,000 tons. An increased sup ply was necessary, and whence were they to look for this increased supply. The reduction of duties on free labour sugar alone, would produce very little effect as the quantity of foreign free-iabour sugar to be obtained was of very little importance. Now, upon the present consumption, an increase of price of 6s. only, would be a tax upon the public 1,600,000/, which would not go to the State. He would propose, therefore, the admission of other foreign sugars, to supply the deficiency ; but here they were met by the objection that the admission of foreign sugar would encourage slavery, and the said considerations should overbalance all financial and commercial views, and all considerations of the welfare of the people, but that ar gument failed of completeness while they admitted tobacco, cotton, and other productions of slave labour, and therefore they did not even pretend to carry into effect the humane views which those opposed to the consumption of slave labour produce entertained. The members of the Anti-Slavery Committee, however, were consistent, for they denounced the consumption of slave• labour cotton as most immoral ; and yet if it were proposed before we would admit Ameriean cotton wool to call upon the United States to solve the tre mendous problem of slavery, it would be considered as absolute insanity. The same argument ap• plied to copper ore, and various other articles; The policy of excluding slave labour sugar would be therefore incomplete; but, more than that, they were obliged to admit slave states with which they had trea ties of reciprocity to compete with free labour states in the market. They bad besides been obliged to refuse to Spain the benefits of the commercial treaties concluded with her, and that on principles not very honourable to a great nation. He could not help thinking that the principle contended for by Spain was contained in the treaty of Utrecht. It was certainly unfortunate that in their pursuit of humanity they should be forced to evade the obligations of treaties. But there was a further defect in these attempts to exclude slave labour sugar. The merchants sent this sugar to other markets, and thence obtained supplies which they might dispose of in the English market, and thus obtain English manufactures for the supply of the slave employer, and thus they failed to prevent the slave owner from getting a market for his produce. In these reasons he held that the ground which had been hitherto taken was not tenable, and that pro ceeding upon the principle which they had adopted with regard to other commodities, they must admit the sugar of the world to the markets of the United King dom. He must admit, however, that there were reasons forbidding that immediate equalisation The West India body most justly urged the great change produced by the emancipation of their slaves, and the losses they had sustained in consequence, and the inter ference of this country to prevent their obtaining a suhply of free labour as reasons against this immediate equalization, and these reasons sere entitled to grea considerations, there were likewise finan cial reasons against any sudden and ab rupt change. lie should, therefore, propose a complete withdrawal of the present prohibitory duty on slave-labour sugar, and then a very slight alteration from year to year, until the duties should be equalized. He would propose, at once, to reduce the duty on all foreign Muscovado sugar to 21s. percwt., to be diminished from sth July 1847, to sth July 1848, to 90s. ; from sth July, 1849, to 18s. 6d.; from 1850, to 17s. ; from 1851, to 15s. 6d.; and that from the sth Ju 1852, the duty on all sugars, foreign and colonial, should be 14s. The reduction of a clayed and refined sugar would be in similar proportion, and would be diminished likewise from year to year. The West Indians complained of the interference of the Government in preventing the immigration of Hill Coolies. Now he proposed that the Coolies should have permission to emi- grate on certain conditions. He also proposed to diminish the differential duties on rum from Is. 6d. to Is. The West Indians also asked that molasses should be permitted to be used. Breweries of distilleries, but there were such practical difficulties in the way of acceeding to that request, that he could not comply with it. _ [LEFT srEAuNG..I STATE OF TRADE. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, JULY 1 7.—The demand for wool is still confined to the immediate re- quirements of the manufacturers. In prices we do not quote any alteration of moment this week, although the tendency is downward. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE,--LEEDS, JULY 1 7.—A full average business has been done in foreign wools this week, and recent rates are very firmly maintained. YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 16.—This market con- tinues to be well supplied with wool, and a steady busi ness doing, at prices nominally the same as last re ported. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—WOOL.—The busi ness doing is still limited, and as the prices in the coun try have not been such as will meet the rates current here, it is more than probable the supply in the market will not be so ample as at present. YARNS.—There is an average business doing in general numbers of weft yarns, but we do not learn of any improvement in prices. PIECES. —The buyers, both for home trade and export, are extending their purchases, and a fair business has been done. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.— We are, if anything, progressing, though slowly, in the right direction in our cloth market. Confidence is daily on the increase, seeing there is now all but a certainty that the harvest will be both early and abundant. Our home merchants are quite sanguine that flourishing times are at hand. The market closes to day very firm, and even buoyantly. Spinners of low numbers find a brisk sale at rather higher rates, and all numbers are firm and in fair request. THE LATE MAJOR-GENERAL M`CASKILL, K.C.B. (From the Perthshire Courier,) The late Major-General Sir John M'Caskill, K. C. 8., who died gloriously in the bloody engagement at Moodkee, on the 18th of December last, was a native of the Isle of Syke, the birth-place of many gall an t h eroes. Si r J ohn M'Caskill was the last of four excellent brothers, three of whom died in the military servics of their Sovereign and country. By his death his father's family became extinct, except two sisters, who still reside in their native island. These amiable ladies, whose moral worth render them worthy of being sisters of their gallant deceased brother, were litie -1 rally supported by a hands;)me annuity which he duti fully allowed to each. Their prospects at his death were, indeed, gloomy in the extreme, as they had no friend k of whom to claim support, and no resources whatever to depend upon fur their maintenance. They had no legal claim on Government, as their gallant brother left a widow and family to be supported by the public funds. hopeless;distressing ead a - n qu d arters, th ere an v d ,er a e l although it Their w as caseearly w represen ted v ourable replies, on account o I the stringent regulations o as alike at h the War-office. The Rev. Alexander Macgregor, of Kilinuir, deeply sympathising with their afflicted condition, took the liberty of representing it by letter to Sir R. Peel, on the 18th of June. The appeal was not made in vain, and the result affords an illustrious display of the worthy Baronet's humane and generous heart. The following communications, in the hand-writing of Sir R. Peel, are full of interest : " Whitehall, June 29, 1846. " Sir Robert Peel presents his compliments to the kiev. Alexander 111‘Gregor, and begs leave to infor m hire, that Sir Robert Peel has had great satisfaction in recommending to the Queen that pensions to the amount of 501. each shall be granted to the Miss M'Caskills, in consideration of the gallant service of their brother, the late Sir John M'Caskill, and of his death on the field of battle." " " Whitehall, June 29, 1816. Sir Robert Peel presents his compliments to the Miss M•Caskills, and has great satisfaction in informing them that the Queen has been graciously pleased, on the recommenda tion of Sir Robert Peel, to grant to the Miss M`Caskills pen sions of 504 each, on the civil list, for their lives."

HOUSE OF LORDS. The Earl of SHA.FTESIIIIRY, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, took his seat on the woolsack at a Quarter to Five o'Clock. Messages from the Commons brought up several Bills, which were read a first time. Lord REDESDALE presented 16 petitions, signed by 900 persons, complaining of the break of gauge at Gloucester. GLASGOW TERMINI BILL. Lord COLCHESTER moved that this Bill be read a third time. The Earl of RADNOR moved as an amendment that the third reading be postponed for a few days. After a few words from Lord COLCHESTER and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, A conversation ensued, when a complaint being made that there was nothing going on, The Earl of SHAFTESBUY and Lord BEAUMONT stated that there was a great deal going on. Lord BROUGHAM thought the House ought to be satisfied. Earl R►nuoa and "Lord Ba.t.unowr explained that there was a motion for the adjournment of the debate. Lord BROUGHAM thought that there was no harm in the adjournment. On the motion being put the third reading was ad journed till Thursday night. REFUSAL OF SITES FOR THE FREE CHURCHES. The Marquis of BREADALBANE gave notice that he was intrusted with several petitions on this subject, which he should present to-morrow. BISHOPRICK OF ST. ASAPH AND BANGOR. Earl POWIS rose to present several petitions against the consolidation of these two sees, and he begged leave to move that that petition lie on the table, and the second reading of the St. Asaph and Bangor Bills. In making this motion, he should refrain from entering into very long statements. He had addressed their Lordships too often on this subject, to pass any other subjects which had immediate relevance to the matter in hand. Their Lordships were aware that in 1834 a Commission was issued for ascertaining the position of the Established Church. In the report of that Commission there was a proposition that a bishopric of Manchester and this bishopric was to be supported by the consolida tion of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor. But to effect this it was necessary to hold out some inducement to yield their rights. That inducement was the formation of a bishopric in the rich and populous agricultural dis tricts of Lancashire. The Bishops of these sees were, in the extreme, popular, and it was necessary to hold out some bonus to the inhabitants of the princi pality, and that bonus was the advantage he had just mentioned, of providing spiritual juris diction for a district but very inefficiently supplied. He was happy he had the opportunity of appealing to the Noble Marquis (Lansdowne) and the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack to do juttice to the coun try in this matter. He appealed to the Noble Marquis whether, if the present were a case in private lite, if certain property had come into his power, he would refuse to appropriate that property to the purpose for which he had received it. He made a like appeal to the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack. He hoped, that considering the poverty of the country, in which these two sees were, there Lordships would allow the Bill to pass. His Lordship, in support of what he said, referred their Lordships to a petition presented to their lordbilipe UMW) from peopieiu One of We , This Committee met for the first time to-day, at One o'clock, in Room 23, Grand Corridor. The following is a list of the Bills referred to them : Eastern Counties (Wisbech to Spalding). Stamford and Spalding. Wisbech, St. Ives, and Cambridge Junction. The first Bill taken was the STAMFORD AND SPALDING. The objects of which having been briefly opened by the Hon. Mr. Talbot, Q. C., evidence was tendered in favour of it. The preamble was declared to be proved, and the clauses agreed to. WISBECH, ST. IVES, AND CAMBRIDGE GROUP LXX. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) DITI3ZIN AND ENNISKILLEN. This Bill was next taken. Mr. ArsriN, Q.C,, having 'explained the objects of the Bill, &c., and stated that the estimated cost of the line was 340,0001., said that a portion of the shareholders had petitioned against the Bill, on the ground that the Bill no longer contained the entire project which was originally submitted to the House of Lords, and for which they said they had subscribed; but it was quite clear that those petitioners could not be heard, because at the tune that they signed the docu ment which bound them as partners in the undertaking, they authorised the directors, as a matter of course, to proceed to Parliament, either for the whole line, or for parts of the line, or to make any such alterations as they in their judgment might deem fit. The Irish North Midland Company (who had been defeated in the House of Lords), and the Belfast Junction Company were also petitioners against the Bill, the latter with respect to the Company's proposed line between Navan and Kells. He had, no doubt however, that the Committee would decide that these petitioners had no good grounds of objection, and that the Bill should be permitted to pass. Evidence was then tendered on behalf of the Bill, and at four o'clock the Committee adjourned until twelve to-morrow.

When lyrical composition was reduced i this hopeless state, su dd en l y R oss i n i , a f ter res i s ting , i for ~ years every ad vance , appears to h ave been exc i te d Ls u the wish, with hi s s i ng l e mag i c power, to ra i se St great es t a bli s h ment, t h e A ca d& n i e de Musique, from it RL utter degradati on i n t o w hi c h it has fallen since til ° '; days when, i ns t ea d o f art i f i c i ally supporting the f a iling courage of its artists, by the hired applause of the elle valicrs du lustre, Comte Cry and Guillaume Tell cod' mended loud and spontaneous applause. It was earnestli urged upon Rossini by great personages that cothin but his interpo s iti on cou ld save this national inst i tu tion of France from ut t er d estruct i on ; and he gener ously consented to forego hi s c h er i s h e d h a bi ts o f ret i re men and extend an a id so v i ta ll y i mportant.

Upon this, Gustave Vaez was dispatched f r° o Paris to replace Scribe, and fortunately Rossini I% highly phased with the tbrato he brought with him 0 4, 6, specimen of his abilities.
