Contrary - to the established usages of Parliament, an explanation has occurred simultaneously with the first reading of the Sugar Duties' Bill in the House of precedent, this innovatio n Peers. If em ployed as a might 'undoubtedly cause no inconsiderable confusion to the ;future deliberations of their Lordships, but, prefacqd as it was by a distinct apology, that explana tion cannot but tend to the satisfaction of an anxious people,: and the conv en i ence of a j ade d P ar li amen t. On introducing this measure last evening, the Earl of CLAJULNDON took a most felicit ous survey o f t h e questiqn, demonstrating by lucid arguments and un answerable statistics the necessity of some immediate modification of the present system. The Noble Earl insisted upon the insufficiency of the supply in con sequence of the restrictions caused by differential duties;and his illustrations upon this point merit the most glorious investigation. If we can comprehend the rater incomprehensible calculation of the Noble Lord, he Member fur Lynn, the clamouring about the ds;ficiency of sugar at a price reasonable enough for the; consumption of the English population, is as chimdical and illusory as the potato panic is declared to haVe been by those very sceptical gentlemen, the protectionists. Is it then chimerical to maintain the insufficiency of moderately-priced sugar, when the average consumption of that article in England is merely 16 pounds per annum for each individual, while the consumption at our antipodes is absolutely 104 pounds per annum for each individual ? Is it chimerical when we find three quarters of our community restricted to eight pounds per annum, while the consumption of the affluent classes is estimated at sixty pounds, and the consump tion even of the middle classes at thirty-seven pounds ? Surely we must not attribute this disparity to a diffe rence of taste in the different classes. It would in truth be something astonishing to be assured that a partiality for saccharine juice is acquired by the excellence of a man's broadcloth, that corduroy is a corrective to acidity, that the peasant has not as voracious an ap petite after toothsome dishes as a nobleman, that green gooseberries would give the cholic to a landed proprietor, and afford nutrition to an artisan ? Nevertheless, it is merely by resort ing to such dogmatical absurdities that a protectionist can maintain that there is a sufficiency of supply in colonial sugar. As a testimony that Government does not consider this article merely necessary for the wealthier inhabitants of these islands, we may allude to the allowance of 224 lbs. to every pauper, and of 341 b. to every seaman. When the average consump tion of such a necessary of life is found to dwindle down into a contemptible minim among three quar ters of our population, being literally, as the Earl of CLARENDON calculated, " 180 per cent. below the allowance made to the pauper, and nearly 200 per cent. below the allowance made to the common sailor," there is undoubtedly some foundation for the conjec ture that additional facilities should be afforded for the importation of fresh cargoes. That such an ar rangement would ameliorate the condition of the labouring classes, no reasonable man can ques tion. We are persuaded that the proposed measure is not only one of commercial reformation, but one, moreover, of sanatory reformation. It is of fiscal as well as social importance. It will, we are persuaded, materially increase the revenue, while it will promote the comfort of the community. On this particular Lord CLARENDON has only corrobo rated a truism, and illustrated a fundamental principle in political economy, when he referred to the fact of the consumption of coffee and tea having proportionably developed itself with the diminution in taxation. For example—in 1821, the former commodity, covered with an im post of two shillings per lb., gave a consumption of 22,000,0001b5. ; in 1844 the duty was decreased to sixpence per lb., and in the following year the con sumption had risen to:34,000,0001bse, giving a revenue of 718,0001. instead of 340,0001. In like manner, with tea, a consumption of 22,000,0001b5. in 1821, had in 1545 arrived at the enormous average of 44,000,000 lbs., notwithstanding, or rather in consequence of, a very considerable reduction in the duties levied upon that article. After having observed these beneficent results of an enlightened policy, as testified in these instances, it is remarkable to observe the contrary effects of an extortionate and grasping system. - I•.Tiggardliness is repaid by meagre revenues, a generous but judicious leniency by overflowing coffers, thriving merchants, ac tivity in trade, increased sobriety and health in the com munity. While the latter has been thus magnificently demonstrated in regard to coffee and its sister be verage, how vividly h.ls the former been illustrated in reference to the importation of sugar ! What are the revelations of the Earl of CLARENDON on this parti cular? Why, that with our vastly multiplying population the trade in sugar has been literally stagnant—that the consumption of sugar has been nearly stationary. That consumption was in 1821, 4,000,000 cwt. ; in 1831, 4,000,000 cwt. ; in 1841, still 4,000,000 cwt. ; in 1844, miserably improved to 4,300,000 cwt.; and in 1845, to 5,000,000 cwt. After a candid examination of these few and very comprehensible facts, none but a self-interested or obtuse-minded man can persist in declaring that no necessity exists for the alteration of the existing system of differential duties. A necessity does exist, and seeing that the anomalies of protection have been removed prom the principal necessary of existence, the necessity for their removal from what may be designated the next greatest necessary or existence becomes too glaring to admit of any additional cavil or supplementary procrastination. Bread has been cleansed of its leaven of monopoly ; the dumplings and cranberry pies of the la bourer must be free from the acidulating effects of the sugar duties. Brazil must be made to correspond with China and Russia in ministering to the repasts of our popula tion, Louisiana and Venezuela must compete with Pelcin and Cuba in adding to the sober nourish ment of our sober people. With the extension of correspondence between the various territories of the earth will extend, not merely the national revenue, the national happiness, and the national health of Great Britain, but the civilisation, the humanity, the christianity, the brotherly love, the prosperity, and the general improvement of the entire human family. An inquiry has, we are happy to say, been directed into the truth of several allegations made with re spect to the Millbank Prison. A commission has been appointed, with powers to take evidence on oath, and to examine in the fullest manner into the whole management of the prison, and into every charge that has been brought against the governor and the other officers. The Home Secretary deserves the greatest credit for the manner in which he has acted in this case. On the former occasion, when it was brought forward by Mr. DUNCOMBE, we expressed our regret that the asked-for inquiry should be refused when charges of such magnitude, impugning so severely the con duct of the prison authorities, and expressly charging the governor with acts of the greatest cruelty and oppression, were brought forward by a person whose character and motives were unimpeached, who, from his position, as an officer of the prison, had an oppor tunity of being fully cognisant of the truth of the charges, if correct, and that the public mind should be permitted to remain in suspense on such a subject until the next session of Parliament. Much indulgence, however, was claimable by Sir GEORGE GREY on the subject. He had recently succeeded to office—questions of the greatest consequence to the nation remained for discussion, and a serious and difficult task awaited the several Cabinet Ministers, in se lecting from the enormous quantity of business before the Legislature measures that required an im mediate decision, that were intended to remedy serious and pressing grievances, and which could not be postponed until the ensuing session without great public inconvenience. The petition, too, had been presented when Sir JAMES GRAHAM presided over the Home Office, and had to a certain extent been adjudicated on by him, he having referred it to the Inspectors of Prisons, with a request that they would institute a full and searching investigation into the several statements contained therein. A report had been made, with respect to which the new Secre tary had little time to prepare himself. He, there fore, asked the House to suspend their judg ment, promising that nothing should be withheld, and fully and honourably has he redeemed that pledge. He required that the Prison Inspectors should renew their inquiry, and investigate the ad ditional charges then brought forward. He now admits the necessity of a further investigation, con ducted under the auspices of persons against whom no charge of partiality or bias could possibly be preferred, and we are ready to admit that at this late period of the session a Committee of the House must necessarily be greatly hurried, and unable to give the time necessary for so important an inquiry. The entire subject of prison discipline is one that de serves the fullest consideration. The horrible prac tice of corporal punishment is still resorted to— persons are frequently sentenced to receive a number of lashes, which it is now clearly proved may produce the most fatal results, at the mere will and pleasure of the prison authorities. The public feeling has most properly been directed against this descrip tion of punishment, and its infliction even in the pri vacy of the prison -house is strongly objected to. We may hope that the report of the newly-appointed Commission will fully enter into this point, and that measures may be suggested fer the total abolition of the practice, or, at least, the adoption of better regu lations with respect thereto. There mu s t be some thing radically wrong in the system which leads to so fearful a number of suicides as those effected and attempted in the prison within the last three years. , The statements, too, that prisoners had been removed to the hulks in a dying state, to avoid the inquest before the coroner, which would be neces sary in the event of their dying within the prison— that persons had been so removed while unable to get up from their beds, and in so weakly a state that brandy and water was administered to them during their journey to keep up their strength, require a searching and ample investigation. Theextraordinary number of cases of insanity, deaths, or pardons of prisoners on medical grounds, must be fully explained, if the causes can possibly be traced. We know nothing of the governor of the prison ; we should be the last to condemn him with out full evidence of the truth of the statements. It is a very different thing investigating charges so brought forward, and acting on them as if they were fully proved. The more serious they are the less willing should we be to admit their accuracy. Captain GROVES ap pears to have met the charges in a manly and inde pendent manner. It appears that he wrote to Sir GEORGE GREY, stating his anxiety to meet the charges and his desire that they should be adju dicated on by persons other than the Prison Inspectors. This is certainly very creditable to him, and affords a certain presumption against his guilt. Under any circumstances, the result of the inquiry must be beneficial ; and if it should not be conducted in a fair and proper manner, it will be open to any Member, in the early part of next session, to move for a Committee of the House, to inquire not merely into the charges, but also into the manner in which the Commissioners have exercised their powers. Mr. DIINCOMBE, therefore, acted with much discretion in resting satisfied for the present with the promise of the Home Secretary, and awaiting the result of the promised inquiry. The treaty of Navigation between Austria and Russia was signed on the 20th July. The Agnates of AUGUSTENBOURG and of GLUCKS BOURG and the Grand Duke of OLDENBURG have protested against the letter patent of the King of DENMARK on the subject of the succession to the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The police of Hesse Cassel have orders to make out a list of all the German Catholics, and to report periodically on their conduct. Madrid papers of the 4th have arrived. The ru mour that GONZALES BRAVO had been recalled from Lisbon was again prevalent in Madrid. The Spanish Government is giving every encouragement to General FLORES, late President of the Republic of the Ecuador, to raise troops in Spain, nominally for the service of the Republic, but it is shrewdly sus pected that their destination will be Mexico, and their mission the establishment of a monarchy. BOLSA, AUG. 4.—The Three per Cents. were done at 33'X i for cash, the Five per Cents. at 22%, the Four per Cents. at 21 9-16, the Debt without Interest at 6%, and the Coupons at 20. We have received the French papers of Sunday. The question of the Spanish marriage is the subject of discussion in the National and Courrier Francais. They both oppose the project of a Coburg alliance, contending that such must be essentially an English one. Accounts from Algiers, of the 2d, state that ABD EL•KADER was meditating a new movement against the tribes in alliance with France. He was on the frontiers of Morocco, issuing proclamations, levying tribute, and making every preparation for an advance. Count RODOLPII HEINRICH DE REICHENBACII, a Prussian, has been arrrested at Flemcen on a charge of corresponding with ABD-EL-KADER, and tamper ing with the French soldiery. Rear-Admiral HAMaLIN visited the Sandwich Islands in April last, and there was an interchange of presents between the French and Sandwich Islands authorities. The KING visited the Admiral's ship, and was highly gratified by his reception. The Three per Cents. were done on the Passage de l'Opera on Sunday at 83f. 80c.

THE EARL OF CARSERY'S CLAIM TO VOTE AT THE ELIO TION OF REPRESENTATIVE PEERS FOIL IRELAND. Counsel were heard, and witnesses examined, upon the claim of the Earl of Carbery to vote at the election of representative Peers for Ireland ; after which, Their LORDSHIPS declared that the Noble Earl had made out his claim.—Claim allowed. The House then sat to hear appeals, and their Lordships were occupied the remainder of the morning with hearing arguments in the case of Robertson v. Paterson, which came before their Lordships upon an appeal from the decision of the Court of Session in Scotland. THE LORD MAYOR'S TRIP TO OXFORD.—The caterer for the Lord Mayor's party from Oxford to London was Mr. Thomas oungliusband, or the Gerard's Hall Tavern. At the conclusion of the banquet at Hampton Court on Saturday evening, the Lord Mayor expressed himself as being highly pleased with the manner in which Mr. Younghusband had executed his task. ALARMING ACCIDENT TO Site CHARLES WETHERELL. —We deeply lament to state that a very severe and alarming acci dent harnessed to >ir Charles Wetherell, in the neighbourhood of Maidstone, yesterday (Monday) morning. It appears that the learned gentleman had arrived at Maidstone by train, and was de sirous of going on to Rochester, for which purpose he had engeged a one-horse phaeton, with a driver, and proceeded towards the latter place, taking what is called the Lower-road, skirting the river Med way, for the purpose of passing through the village of Wouldham. On arriving near the seat of Charles Milner, Esq., Preston Hall, some trifling circumstance, said to be the horse's tail catching the reins, caused the animal slightly to mend its pace, on which Sir Charles, who was sitting on the box with the driver, unhappily caught hold of the reins, and the horse, dartimi to the side of the road, dashed the carriage against a heap of stones, which caused it to upset, throwing Sii Charles to the ground with great violence. The learned gentleman, ott being raised, was found to be most alarmingly Injured. The driver and Sir Charles's valet escaped unhurt. Sir Charles was immediately conveyed to Preston Hall, and was attended by Mr. Dennis, of Aylesford, and Dr. Taylor, of Maidstone ; but so serious did these gentlemen consider the state of their patient, that the valet was soon after dispatched to London to precure the attend ance of an eminent physician. The precise nature of the injury sus tained by Sir Charles we have not been able to learn ; but doubtless the shock sustained by Isis system at his advanced age, 76, must alone be 511AI:idea to create the most painful apprehensions. 1 RE LATE MURDEROUS ATTACK AT MAIDENHEAD.— Yesterday morning Anthony Thomas Ryves, a police-sergeant in the service of the Great West,rn Radway Company, at the Maidenhead station, who was remanded by the Eton bench of magistrates on Wednesday last, upon a charge of having inflicted a serious wound with a knife upon the body of Mr. Usury Plumb, an articled clerk to Mr, Ward, solicitor. of Maidenhead, was brought up for re examina: ion beibre the magistrates of Burnham, by Mr. Larkin, the superintendent constable of the Burnham and Stoke district. The magistrates present were—Mr. Caledon George Dupre, M.P., Mr. Bice Richard Clayton, M.P., Major Bent, and the Rev. Thomas Carter, Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister-at-law, and Mr. W. R. Ward, solicitor, appeared on the part of the Crown. Mr. Williams stated that he had to apply for a further adjournment of the case, in con sequence of Mr. Plumb being unable tc be present, from the nature of the severe injuries lie had received, to attend to give his evidence. He handed to the bench the following certificate from his medical attendant:— " I am of opinion that Mr. Henry Plumb is too weak to attend the magistrates to-day. He is, however, going on favourably. " B. BELLIS, Surgeon. " Maidenhead, Monday morn'ng, August 10." Mr. Ward said, in reply to a question from the bench, that, from what Mr. Dellis had stated to him before he left Maidenhead for Burnham, he ex ! ected Mr. Plumb would he able to appear against the prisoner in the course of three or four days. 'I he Rev. Mr. Carter thought it would be advisable that the remand should be for as short a time as possible, taking Into consideration the state of the prosecutor. Mr. Ward observed that he was not able at present to leave his bed. The magistrates having consulted together for a few minutes, the Chairman informed the pr.soner that in consequence of Mr. Plumb being still in too weak a state to attend the inquiry, they bad come to the determination of again remanding him until Friday next. The prisoner, who made no re nark, respectfully bowed to the magistrates, and was taken away in custody of the constable, and conveyed to Beaconsfield Summonses, upon the application of .51,. Williams, were then issued fur the attendance of the witnesses on that day. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN THE TOWER.—Testerday morning, about seven o'clock, a most distressing occurrence took place in the Tower to a man named Joseph Heffernin, aged thirty five, a bricklayer, residing at No. 7, White-street, Spitalfields, which, it is feared, will end fatally. It seems that the unfortunate man had been employed for some time past at the new building in the Tower, which is intended for the soldiers' barracks. Ile proceeded to his work, and on reaching the third tier of planks en the upper part of the scaffolding, one of the putlocks, or cross beams, gave way, where by he was precipitated a depth of sixty feet to the basement, where he fell on a girder. He was extricated with much difficulty, and was found to have received the most fearful injuries, the bones of the right leg were broken, protruding through the flesh ; the left thigh and hip were severely injured, and various parts of his body had sustained several contusions and bruises. Ile was seen by a surgeon in the Tower, but he ordered his removal to the accident ward of fit. Tho mas's Hospital, where, upon examination, it was found that the only means of saving his life was the amputation of the right leg, which the poor fel:ow at first refused to accede to, but when seen by a cler gyman he consented. The operation was forthwith performed by Mr. Le Gros Clarke, one of the assistant surgeons, who was attended by Mr. Travers and Mr. Solly. REPAIRING THE STREETS OF LONDON.—A notice has been issued by the Commissioners of Sewers that come of the great thoroughfares will be impassable to every description of vehicle. The carriage -way Is to be repaired in Old Fish-street, Long-lane, Upper Thames-street, and Fleet-street.

At present there exists a great difficulty in getting good workmen, as well as stone from the quarries, in consequence of the demand for the railways. When finished, it is alleged that Fleet street will not require any great repairs for the next twenty years, the three-inch cube Aberdeen granite being estimated to last for forty years in places where only an ordinary traffic taker place. All large th o roughfares are in fature to be paved with this stone, as soon as the existing contracts for wood pavement expires. The following places are to have new sewers :—Laurence Pountney-lane, and Laurence Pountney-hill, Ducksfoot-lane, Cloak-lane, Bell-yard, Graceehurch-street, Little Bush-lane, Bride-lane, Poppin's-court, Hosier-lane, the north end of Shoe-lane, Bouverle-Street, and the Precinct of Whitefriars, the Whole cf which are to commence Within the neat month. MONEY and CONEMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was Quiet, and prices were steady. Sales 4,500 bales. American, 4d. to 5Nd. Shares were tolerably well supported. The overland express, in anticipation of the mail, does not bring more cheerful intelligence respecting the state . of the import market either at Calcutta or Bombay, and it seems probable that some time will elapse ere matters right themselves. As has been so ofter remarked under this head, extreme caution will be requisite in making shipments of manufactures here and purchases of produc'e in India, in order to make the trade mutually beneficial. There is nothing striking in the advices from the United States, because they were scarcely a day later. The republic of Mexico, as far as present appearances go, seems doomed to fall a prey to the superior power of her antagonist. Cali fornia is the present land of promise to the Americans, and they are sedulous to collect " full particulars " as to the value of their intended acquisition. Alluding to the trade of Monterey, it is stated that 50 ships entered last year. Of these 5 were vessels of war, 5 were whale ships, and 48 were merchant vessels. And again, the 58 vessels may be classified thus :-23 ships, 17 barques, 8 brigs, and 10 schooners. Alt hough contrary to the laws of Mcxicn, the Governor and Generals of California, before the independence of Mexico, and always since that period, have allowed the 'coasting trade, from San Diego to San Francisco, to all foreign vessels which have paid their duties at Monterey. From San Diego to Budega the country is fast filling up. Mills are building, new inventions are imported, vessels are building, and in a few years the Pacific ports of Mexico can be supplied with Californian schooners and brigs. Mexico has no ports on the Pacific that can vie with those of Cali fornia in natural advantages; her only Pacific wharf is in Monterey. The Pueblo de los Angeles has now a large popu lation, many of its citizens becoming wealthy from their ranchos and vineyards. At this place can be found excellent wine and aquardiente, and the best grapes in the world. Some fifteen or twenty carriages and gigs can be seen on a paseo at a time. With all its natural advantages, the country could be still further advanced, if Mexico would send hither but 200 good soldiers (not vagabonds), place them under the command of the natives, and without fail send them 100,000 dollars a-year. This method would soon create amicable feelings towards the Supreme Government, and nothing else will. The Stock Market continues to droop, and there is a de cline again of % per cent. in the quotations. Consols are 95 3 / i IA for Money, and about 1/ per cent. above those rates for time. Exchequer-bills are flat, at ss. to 7s. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 209 1 %. but India Stock has been down to 260 1 ,! and _259. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 97% to 97%, and the Three per Cents. 96 to 904. South Sea Stuck is :07. The Foreign Investments are less dealt in than yesterday, but nominally t hey maintain their value. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 41 1 / to 42, and Brazilian 90. The Portu guese market is advanced by occasional purchases. Russian Bonds have been at 113 1 . Dutch Two.and-a-Half per Cents. bring 591,4 to 60; and Belgian Two-and-a• Half per Cents. 55%. Shares are flat, and there are more sellers than buyers. The long list of lines sanctioned this session has undoubtedly surprised many, and excited timidity among the holders. BRITISH FUNDS.

It was attended by several thousands of visitors, who kept up the festivities till nearly daybreak, inspired by the exhilarating in sic of the band, Innumerable bottl. s of Champagne, and endless bowls of 'rack punch, and goblets of Sherry cobler, and other fluids. Twelve masters of the ceremonies, in court costumes, welcomed the company as they arrived, and did the honours of the evening. The dancing was principally on the new platform in front of the saloon and in the ball town ' the floor of which was chalked in arabesque: 4 by an experienced artiste, and was a principal feature and novelty, until the feet of the dancers destroyed the beauty of the design, and obliterated the devices. In the Rotunda was exhibited the equestrian i o n n troupe of AL Tournaire, which performed an entree , quadrille , gallo pade, &c., in the most finished style. This splen did r o om was most ' brilliantly illuminated with lamps of various colou r s , disposed in up. proprlate devices. The feathers of the arms of the Pri n ce of Wales, and the motto, " Id; dien," were particularly bright and beautiful. The back of the quadrangle was magnificently- lighted with thousa n d s of lamps, disposed in intersecting flees of greensele was the mo to, " Vive le teal masque," outshining e ver y thi ng around.

(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. PORT GORDON HARBOUR BILL. On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, the Bill for this harbour was withdrawn. SMALL DEBTS BILL. Sir F. TRENCH presented two retitions praying that this Bill may pas this session. Mr. DUNCOMBE also presented a petition to the same effect from Scarborough. IRISH ARMS BILL. Mr. ESCOTT gave notice that on Monday next, on the motion that the House resolve itself into Committee on this Bill, he should move that the House resolve itself into Com mittee that day thr:e moths. MIDDLE-ROW, HOLBORN. Mr. T. DUNCO.IIBE presented a petition from the parish of St. George the Martyr, praying for the abolition of this inconvenience. ABOLITION DEOD ANDS BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, this Bill was read a third time and passed. MILITARY PUNISHMENTS. Mr. WILLIANIS, se dug tha Secretary to the Ordnance in his place, wished to ask whether the opinion of the law officers of the Crown had been taken as to the validity of the sentence of death passed upon a private marine at Cork for striking his sergeant. Mr. WARD raid that it had been ascertained that there had been some informality disc ,vered in the construction of the court which tried the prisoner, and on that ground, and also frown the recollection that he had undergdne a long uncer • tainty as to the sentence, they had cor eeived it but right that the pri-oner should be sent hack to his company, in the hope that the or leal which he had undergone would have a benefi cial effect on his future conduct. MITCHELL'S PETITION. At the request of Mr. JOHN PARKER, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE consented to postpone the considera tion of this petition till this day week. APPLICATION OF CAPITAL TO RAILWAYS. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to ask the Noble Lord, the First Lord of the Treasury, whether the Government intended to interpose any cheek upon the application of capital to railway construction. He saw that during last session and this as much as 210,000,0001. had been authorised to belaid out in the construc tion of railways. This was likely to create disarrangement of the capital usually devoted to the manufactures and commerce of the country. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that, inasmuch as a Committee of Inquiry had been instituted at the commencement of the present session, and they had recommended that no interference should take place, and inasmuch, also, as the parties who had obtained their Bills had been put to great expense, it did appear to be unjust that they should be deprived of the advantage to which, in consequence of that outlay, they were entitled. With respect to the general part of the question, he did not see how, as there was no means of preventing the application of capital to railways on the Continent, or in the United States of America, there could be any restriction to the application of capital to railways within the limits of the United Kingdom. The Railway Board which was proposed would, in all probabi lity, save all the difficulty. NAVAL AND MILITARY DEPARTMENT BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER this Bill was read a second time. PUBLIC WORKS AND FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of Sir G. GitFAr this Bill was read a second time, after a remark that it would be advisable to ascertain whether the works were necessary, especially on the river Shannon. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that this point had received careful attention. Tins Bill, with the the preceding one, was ordered to_be com mitted to-morrow. CUSTOUS DUTIES BILL. The Report on this Bill was brought up, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. DEODANDS ABOLITION BILL. Sir G. GREY moved the third reading of this Bill. Lord G. SOMERSET wished to know whether her Ma jesty had given her assent to the abolition of these deodands, as it was but decent to consult her upon this subject. Sir G. GREY said that he was prepared to take the course pursued by the Noble Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests last year. Ot course her Majesty had been consulted, and had given her consent to every step in which it was necessary. After - some observations by Mr. WASLEY and Mr. HEN LEY, the former complaining that Mr. S. Wortley, who was in the other House, was not able to be present, at the discussion, and from the latter complaining that there was no rue to direct Members to ascertain whether the several 8.113 were to be taken at twelve or five o'clock. If they took a man's property or his life, they ought to give some compen sation ; and he had some doubt on the success of the policy adopted, and he did not think it right, because they had cut off one foot that they should cut off another. Mr. S. WORTLEY at this time entered the House, and said that although this Bill had passed the House of Lords, after an able introduction, yet it had so passed without any dis cussion whatever. It would be recollected that deodands were a gift to the Crown in a very early stage of our history, and he did not think that any alteration whatever was made in the case by what he learned was the fact, viz. the sale of the deo dands to the several corporations. The only discussion which the Bill had undergone was in a Committee up-stairs, con sisting chiefly of lawyers, the responsibility of whose acts he would share, although he was only present for half an hour. It should further be recollected that it was by means of deodands only that a cheap and ready compensation was made to the poor for the injury which they suffered. Now, in the instance of an injury inflicted by a railway company, was it at all reasonable that they should not be obliged to pay for the consequences of. the con duct of their servants. What was the use of bringing an action for damages against the servant, who was in most cases a man of straw, and could give none. He was no advocate for the absurdity of the law of deodand, but he did say that a simple compensation to the Crown was a very ready means of getting at the compensation which was due to the injured party. He would appeal to the Learned Lord Advocate for a confirmation of the working of the law of deodands in Scot land. He had always considered Scotchmen as much more steady and sober characters than those of whom London juries generally consisted, aid he would ask how the law worked there. Certainly well. The Bill was brought down from the House of Lords on the Bth of May, and it was read a second time in the House of Commons, and committed on the follow ing Monday. and when he returned to town on that day at one o'clock, he found that the two clauses which gave the principal feature to the Bill had not only been refrained, but totally altered in character. In Scot. land there was this difference in the law: the nearest relation of the person killed or injured might bring an action for damages, and any relation who might be abroad at the time of the occurrence was not debarred from bringing an action on his return. In fact each relation might come in turn; therefore the whole question was involved in difficulties. He considered that the two Bills before the Hcuse ought to be postponed until next session, and that in the meantime a Select Committee should be appointed, to consider the laws relative to deodand:, and to report to the House on the subject. He concluded by moving an amendment to that effect. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the amendment, on the ground that the two Bills had been before the House for two sessions, and had been during that period fully dis cussed in Committee, both in that and the other House of Parliament. It was never intended that deodands should be levied and compensation awarded for acci dents which did not occur through carelessness, wrong, or from any oilier cause, but for those which did. The plan proposed by the Bill was this—the Crown would receive the amount of the deodand levied, and pay it, out of the Consolidated Fund, to the persons injured, or to their relations in case of death. The amount of compensation for injury was, in all cases, difficult to determine, and at all times difficult to enforce. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then went on to show that the present law was defective, and requiied re-modelling. His Learned Friend distrusted English juries, but he (the Attorney-General) having had some expe rience of juries, had arrived at the opinion that the case of a person injured through carelessness was safe in their hands. He should, therefore, oppose the motion of his Hon. and Learned Friend. (LEFT SITTING.) RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A. This Committee met this morning for the first time. The Noble Lords who formed this Committee were—The Lord Monteagle of Brandon (chairman), the Earl of SOffolk and Berkshire, the Earl of Duce, Lord Camoys, and Lord Skelmersdale. The following were the Bills referred to their Lordships : The Caledonian Railway (Clydesdale Junction Railway Deviations). Glasgow and Belfast Union Railway, Caledonian, Polio; Govan, and Clydesdale Junction Railway Amal gamation. Ths first Bill which was taken into consideration was THE CALEDONIAN, POLLOC, GOVAN, AND CLYDESDALE ZUNCTION .A.ATALGA.MA, TZON. Mr. Sergeant Wrangliam and Mr. Hope appeare , l for the pro moters of the Bill ; Messrs. Austin,lyard, and Sergeant Murphy appeared for Sir John Maxwell, of I'olloc, and other parsons, in op position to the Bill. - Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM opened the case on behalf of the pro moters, and proceeded to call evidence in support of the Bill. The first witness called was Mr. Errington, who deposed to the general merits of the scheme ; after which Mr. Austin claimed to be heard on behalf of the Glasgow, Airdrie, and Monkland Junction Railway, to which Mr. Hope objected, and contended tnat he had no locus slandi. Mr. AUSTIN was heard in support of his claim. Mr. HorE replied. After which The CHAIRMAN Stated that the Committee were unanimously of opinion that the petitioners had failed to make out their case, and that the Glasgow, Airdrie and Monkland Junction Railway - had no locus standi. Mr. Sergeant MuaPnY then, on the part of Mr. Graham, wished to introduce a clause making more explicit the six mile clause contained in the Bill as it came up from the House 01 Commons. Tha Committee intimated that the question was decided by their previous decision. The next application on the part of Mr. Sergeant ➢lunpnv Was that the interpretation put upon the six ►vile clause should be made to appear on the votes. Mr. HOPE said that if his opinion would have any weight with the courts of law in Scotland he should feel proud to have his opinion there recorded. This application the Committee also considered should not be corn plied with. Room C. OLDHAM, !MANCHESTER, LIVERPOOL, AND BIRKENHEAD JUNCTION. Mr. Rondall, C.E., and ocher 'witnesses, were examined in support of the Bill. This closed the case on behalf of the promoters. 31r.EitIVALE then proceeded to address the Committee on behalf of the Rochdale Canal Company, whose property was affected by the Bill. The Learned Counsel illustrated the alleged injury done to the property of the petitioners, by frequenting calling the attention of their Lordships to a model of the premises ea the Company which lay upon the table. Mr. Cooke, the chairman of the Rochdale Canal Company, was examined at considerable length, with a view of showing the amount and position of the property which would be affected by the proposed line. ROYAL ARTILLERY. GENERAL ORDEN.. WOOLWICH, AUGUST 8, 1846.—" His Lordship the Master- General has been pleased to select the following individuals in the Royal Regiment of Artillery as worthy of an annuity and silver medal, under the provisions of items 2,3, and 4, of the good conduct regula tions : " Quarter-M as ter -Sergeant J. Bowman, Royal H orse Ar- tillery. Sergeant William Rudd, 7th battalion. " H. D. ROSS, Deputy Adjutant-General." The above non-commissioned officers are the first who have been selected by the Master-General, in virtue of the powers conferred upon him by the 4th item of the good con duct warrant, to grant an annuity of 201. per annum, allowed by the 2d item to be conferred upon meritorious non commissioned officers, in addition to their pay while serving, and pensions on being discharged from the service. Quarter-Master-Sergeant Bowman has been upwards of 40 years in the service, and Sergeant Rudd for a very long period, ana still perform the dwie4 of their respectiye stations, OVEB LAND MAIL I N I) I A. SURRENDER OF KO . E KANGRA. (From the Herald.) We have just rccfived by Extraordintkry Express, in anticipation of the. Overland Mail, our files of papers from Bombay of July 1 ; Calcutta, June 19 ; Madras, June 22. Rote Kangra has surrendered. Our troops having with inconsiderable exertion overcome the difficulties of the march, set down before the place on the 28th of May. The commander and his chiefs having come forth to endeavour to make conditions, were informed that the only terms which could be allowed them were those of unconditional submission ; that, it within the hour the garrison resolved to submit, they would be per mitted to retire, carrying with them a single bundle each. All arms, ammunition, stores, and property of every kind, with these exceptions, wero made over to us. The evacuation took place in the course of the day, and by the afternoon the British flag waved from the battlements of a fortress hitherto deemed impregnable. The montion of this single incident comprises all that is important in our present intelligence. Both at Bombay and Calcutta we have no change to record in commercial or monetary matters, the former continuing very dull, and the latter very tight. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) BOMBAY, JUNE 30, 184 G. A continuance of rainy weather continues to suspend all public and private operations, though the months of June and July make a news-letter nearly a blank sheet. Everything remains so precisely as it was whe❑ I wrote you on the 19th, that I am worse off a world than the weary knife-grinder. I have neither a story to relate nor a grievance to dilate upon. There has not, since the 20th of May, when the barracks of her Majesty's 50th were blown down, been so much as an accident either by flood or field, to magnify into importance, or weave into an interesting paragraph. The Governor .General and Commander in-Chief continue at Simla. The Punjaub is perfectly tranquil, no troublous symptom of outbreak threatening its tranquillity. Our state physi cians are at their wits' end. There are at present no political maladies to cure. Like the army surgeon re ferred to by Harry Lorrequer, for sick certificate we must gather alarm from symptoms of the soundest health. The sound sleep, vigorous appetite—the buoyant spirit and strong and regular pulse, are signs of a constitution so plethoric and robust, that our great source of alarm is revulsion, a sudden break down, a rupture of the blood-vessels so awfully charged with the elements of vitality. To 'speak the truth, not for the last ten years has India enjoyed such prospects of profound and protracted peace. What progress is making in the establishment of a strong Government in the Punjaub we do not learn. What may be meant by the phrase is not easily explained. The Mooltan chief appears anxious to come to an understanding with the Guyon:meat, and the other tur bulent or recusant feudatories have begun to lower, or to change their tone. These are, perhaps, the beat and surest consequences we can look for of the belief that the Wuzeer can compel obedience—a sense of danger, not of duty, being the only guarantee for respect and obe dience. I had before occasion to mention with how much astonishment our request to have hospitals constructed for the sick and wounded soldiers Of their own army oc casioned ; yet our request has been attended to, and the hospital proceeded with. Complaints as to the filthiness and sickness at Lahore has made Government set about inquiring whether there were no means of paving the streets of the city, a question which will doubtless soon receive an answer in the affirmative. The autho rities seem so anxious to attend to all our wishes, that from the occupation of the British troops some of the most important of the municipal improvements of Lahore are likely to be dated. Hitherto not the slight est manifestation of jealousy or dislike towards us has occurred; our continuance at the capital, where we are looked on more as guests than as conquerors, appears to be regarded as a blessing and an honour. Such are the peaceable fruits of justice, clemency, and moderation. Great disappointment has beets experienced at the treat• ment Sir John Littler has met with. He three times marched out and offered battle to the Seikhs before Ferozepore. He executed to admiration one of the most momentous and difficult movements of the cam paign, which enabled the Ferozepore division to unite itself with the army under the Commander-in- Chief. And to show the appreciation entertained of his merits, he was selected from out of the army for the most delicate and difficult command at Lahore. Briga dier Wheeler has returned, with all his troops, from the expedition against Rote ICangra.. The difficulties sur mounted on the march seem almost incredible—the ef forts made to surmount them herculean. The troops are in excellent health, and seem to have suffered little from the fatigues of the campaign. There is little new from Caubul, and that little is of dubious authority. The old Dost seems to be getting on much better than could have been expected ; and his somewhat untractable subjects are quite as quiet as they used to be under any of their native rulers. Sir C. Napier is at Kurrachee : he has been slightly indisposed of late. He stoutly re pudiates the imputation, that the Governor-General showed him the cold shoulder. Sinde fever, I regret to say, has got into her Majesty's 17th, at Sukkur. I had a letter this morning from one of the officers. He says our men are beginning to die fast. The disease is fever, and so virulent that the patient is often carried off in a few hours. I hope it is not another case of 78th High landers. At Bombay trade is dull, and few operations of any importance attempt( d. The Gover❑or, Sir George Arthur, is extremely sick— very dangerously so; but he will not be persuaded to quit his post. ALEXANDRIA JULY 30, 1846 • The Bombay mail reached Suez at six A.M. of the 27th, per steamer Atalanta, from Aden. It appears the Akbar left Bombay on the 19th June with the mails, but having experienced terrific weather, and suffered considerable damage in the hull, she was obliged to put back, and reached port en the 29th. The mails and passengPrs were then transhipped per Semiramis, which vessel sailed on the Ist of the present month, and ar rived at Aden on the 18th. The Atalanta brought them forwar:l to Suez from thence. We have intelligence by this conveyance of the safe arrival, at Aden, of the Oriental mail ship Ben beck, on the 16th instant, and her departure on the morning of the 18th for Galle and Calcutta. Cholera had entirely disappeared at Adcn, and the place had become quite healthy. (From the Bombay Times of July 1.) Papers to the 9th ult. from Colombo, to the 13th from Kurrachee, to the 19th from Meerut and Calcutta, to the 20th from Agra and Delhi, and to the 22d from Madras, have been received since our last. No Calcutta daw•k reached us yesterday. RETURN OF THE STEAMER AKBAR WITH THE MAIL OF THE 19TH OF JUNE. —tiro regret to have to inform our readers of the return, yesterday evening, of the steamer Akbar, which vessel left Bombay on the 19th ult. with the Indian Mail of that date. The Akbar was about 760 miles from Bombay when she encountered a very severe gale, against which she contended for nearly four days, but in vain. Her cutwater was washed away, and also her paddle-boxes. Considerable injury has been occasioned to the hull of the Akbar, but her engines have not been in any: way damaged. Since writing the' foregoing we have been favoured by h pas senger with the following': account of the mishap, for which we tender our best acknowledgments : " BOMBAY, JUNE 30, 1846.—My dear Sir,—The Ak bar the having returned before her time, you may wish to know cause. The weather proved moderate for the tir3 r t course " w ) a ; head was as but on the 23d we were visited by a gal e • as, : j t u he vesse l w i t h th:s atthesupportshs3.epaaib:yeo perceived etdod in its teeth.

A quarter-gallery and paddle-box was also fast breaking LIP, and the captain did not feel himself justified in risking the ship and the lives of those on board by keeping her head to the storm, so he returned to port to have the heavy mass of g i ngerbread -work dangling at the bows re moved. " P.S. The distance gained in the direct line to Socotra on the morning of the 27th was 760 miles. Had the weather been usually moderate, we should have been nearly through the monsoon." The steamer Semiramis has, we believe, been ordered to start immediately for Aden with the Akbar's mail, in order to meet the P. and 0. Company's steamer at that port. (From the Bombay Times of June 13.) Kate Kangra surrendered unconditionally on the 23th ult., almost without resistance, the gallant Killadar bragging lustily as long as he thought he could carry the day by braggin-, without any great idea of placing his person in jeopardy. The sight of our guns appears to have brought him tq reason ; and the conclusion came to was anything but worthy of the big words with which he began. He and the warison found they had grievously outwitted themselves They might many weeks since have marched out with more than their bundles: they have neither maintained themselves with gallantry nor surrendered themselves with grace. We subjoin the account of the surrender of the fortress from the Ddlti Gazette Extra of the 4th inst.:— " We take the opportunity of the issue of our present Extra to announce the surrender of Kangra, which was evacuated on the 28th May. "The guns (heavy) coninrenced the ascent of the blulkerit Hill, in progress to their respective batteries in the town, on the morning of the 28th. This fact became known for certain to the garrison about ten o'clock. They ceased. their fire, and sent a messenger to Deenan Nath, to inti mate their inclination to surrender if their lives were gua ranteed them. The agent to the G.G. declined any other terms but an unconditional submission. An hour was al lowed them to come out, and lay down their arms. Within , this time, about three o'clock, the Killadar (Soondur Singh), accompanied by his Sirdars, came out; they laid down their arms at the gate, and were made over to Captain Goddard, commanding the town, who had previously received all ne cessary instructions; by him they were immediately con ducted to the presence of Major Lawrence, who had ar rived to receive them. Even then the garrison were waver ing, and brought a gun t o b ear on t h e party, suspec ting treachery. Soondur Singh, h owever , procee d e d to tender his submission on the part of th e garr i son ; t h e same h a ving been accepted, he and hi s f o ll owers were i mme di ate l y per mitted to return to the fort, and acqua i n t t h e i n mates each person wo u ld b e a ll owe d t o b ring out one b un dle, but nothing more. In an h our ' s t i me men, women, chil dren, and bundles in great numbers made their appear.. ance, the men laying down their arms as they came out, and giving up their names—Major Lawrence, M r . John , Lawrence (who is, we a re h a p py t o say, much better), and' . others, heir) , quietly seated to look on. Th e y th en a ll passe.. through the town, with their bundles (containing clothes and cooking utensils), on their heads, protected by extended files of sepoys, to an appointed place of rendezvous under Fort Mulkera. Captain Goddard, with three companies, them marched in, and the British colours were hoisted upon th e highest point. All this was so sudden and unexpected among the native part of the community, that their astonishment r 9 said to:have been indescribable. Soondur Singh is repre sented as rather a fine but debauched-looking man. Th d British force, we hear, was to break up about the 31st May officers and Europeans much disappointed at this result. " The fort was inspected by the political authorities imine' diately after its 'surrender, and found to have ten gates; t" masonry massive, but dilapidated. It is believed that scan , ' guns and a party of Sappers and Miners would be left writ the 44th N.I. The 2d Grenadiers to escort the gums back to the plains." The following is from our correspondent, dated Camp IC" Kangra, 31st May, 1846: " The Fort of Kotla has not yet given in, and it is Expected a ' we shall have the same farce pl a y e d as at t hi s place ; ob lige' to take up the guns, when they will surrend er .

" The following is the order issued by the Braga diet, 011 the surrender of the fort, 29:11 May, 1346 : " 'On announcing to the troops the surrender of the strong' hold Kote Kangra, the Brigadier commanding trikes the 0 1 1 , e , portunity of expressing his ad m i rat i on o f t h e com l uc t of a , ' concerned, in having brought the ordnance, w ith its Inv terials, over 42 miles of the most difficult coun tn.- that 1. 118. has ever traversed, in the brief space of se ven d a y 3 , a " 1 : unequalled by any on record. He requests that Lieutenant' Colonel Wood will accept, and express to all nodes • his CO III. mand, his grateful acknowledgments of their inflefatiga til. and successful exertions. "'To Captain Napier, performing the duty 4)l' chief gineer, Lieutenant Crommelio, and the officers a,nd men the corps of Sappers, as also to Captain Jame2s Abbot', ArtiFery, and Lieutenant Lumsden, 59th N.
