Yesterday their Lordships also rose at an early hour, and from the same cause, viz., lack of business. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondaty POTTER.) ICNIGHT AND ANOTHER V . VIZETELLY. The plaintiffs are stereotype founders, and defendant is % printer, in Crown-court, Fleet-street. The action was broogbt to recover a small amount on a bill of ex chstAge for goods sold and :delivered. The delivery of thrk goods was not disputed, but a question was raised as to whether the action ought to have been brought in the av,perior court, inasmuch as the goods were ordered in city of London, and delivered within the City, awl so the debt might have been recovered in the `S all Debts Court. The plaintiff's attorney said that they went on the bill, and it was not shown that that v.as accepted in London. The Learned SECONDARY said there w as sufficient to justify a verdi c t f or t h e plaintiff, and as the objection me-..ely applied to the question of c:sts, either p art y could apply to th e cour t above, or to one of the Learned Judges at chambers. A verdict was then entered for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR presiding.

On the motiAn for bringing up the report on the Com mittee of Supply, Mr. WILLIAMS took the opportunity of protesting against it being understood that to day's proceedings should be taken as a precedent in future for taking supply at twelve o'clock. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to know what the probable expense of com,iPtivg the new Houses would be, and whether any lurcher s►eDs were to be taken for improving the ventilation of tle House? Mr. HAMILTON, in the absence of the Noble Lord the First Commissioner of Works, was not prepared to answer either question. The report was brought tip and agreed to. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair f,)r going into Committee of Supply, ANSTEY moved for copies of all correspondence Zt'id papers on the subject of Colonel Outram's removal the office of Resident at the Court of the Guicowar, on the subject of the alleged corruption of officers of the Bombay Government with bribes from Baroda. The SPEAKER said as the motion was unopposed it must be moved as an opposed return later in the day. The motion was accordingly withdrawn, and the House went into Committee. On the motion that 17.911/, be voted for defraying the expenses of Schools of Practical Art. Mr. WILLIAMS said he highly approved of the Vote, and it was agreed to. On the question that 2.0061. be voted for the Profes sors of Oxford and Cambridge, Mr. ANSTEY opposed the motion because the two Universities were of a sectarian character, and ought not to be supported by the State. He was anxious for the time when religious discussion would not be tole rated in the House of Commons, and on that account ho was equally opposed to the Maynooth grans as he was to the one under consith-ration. Mr. WILLIAMS said thore had been reports of the datia performed by these professors, and he was sorry to find that not more than two or three pupils attended their lectures. He was also opposed to the vote. The Universities wore rich enough without coming to Par liament for votes of rublic money. Sir R. H. INGLIS supported the vnt°, and reminded the House that the grant was originally made by the Crown out of its civil list, and it would be a breach of kith to withdraw it now, more especially as the Crown t:eceived a consideration for the grant. After a few w,rds from Mr. ANSTEY, Ir. CARTER said the universities had refused to give any acc u t of the large funds at their disposal, and they bad therefore no right to this grant. There was a distinction to be drawn between this grant and that voted for the London University, b,cause the London University was anythingarian, while the two Universities of Oxford and Cainbridv,e were sectarian. The Committee tnen divided, when there appeared— For the vote .., ••• •-• 78 Against it . . -.• ••• 8 Majority 70 The vote was then agreed to, as was also 3,9671. for he University of London. On the vote ot 7,0501. for the Universities of Scotland, Mr. ANSTEY objected to the vote on the ground that two-thirds of the people of Scotland, the greater portion of whom belonged to the Free Church, were prohibited entering these colleeee, which were falsely 'celled national educational establishments. He moved tilat the vote be expunged, and said he should take the sense of the House upon it. Mr, HAMILTON thought it would not be eon %latent with justice to interfere with a vote of this nature. IN. WILLIAMS considered that the universities `. l ;Scotland .v stood in e x actly th e same position as the ben e fi t of London. They had been productive of 7; 1 _ 03 z b.enetit to Scotland as we ll as to the United King- Z sgo ' r b s u o t f h a e ,v obieeted to the item in the vote for the pro- Mr. co ui,ISTIE also objected to the same item. for the exercilis said a strong case had been made out universities in the northern more liberality and justice to the eAN no , rthern parts of the kingdom. Lord DUN that the Universitie s of in reply to the accusation, Oxford and Cambridge were sectarian in character, 3 o t f hat he had himself seen a Dis senter attending lactates at the latter institution. jr. ANSTEY and propo,,tcji he would withdraw his amendment, the vote be reduced by 6551., the sum awarded to er T lora of divinity. Sir G. CLERK defended vote. Ho thought, if regard of any class of en exception was to be reade t professors, it should be with re to those who were immediately connected with ecc lesiastical a studies, be cause a large amount of ecclesi asticproperty was handed over to the country by th e I on the condition that these votes were Scotch universities • • granted annually—(Hear.) These universities had ec , - , noney of their own, and it would be a r . - eroaa breach of faith to withdraw the support which they h ad hitherto received from Parliament. Mr. GEORGE'ICHOMPSON should vote in favour of the amendment. The Committee then cariaeti, when thev a For the reauction ••• —• • • 16 Against it ..• ••• Majority ... •-• The vote was then agreed to. Oa the vote of 3.0001. for the salaries of theologi ca l professors at the Belfast College, Mr. ANSTEY said he had the same objection to this grant, for he was opposed to endowiDg divinity in any form out of the public mo n ey. He was determined to take the sense of the Committee, whatever might be the explanation ot the Govei ncm tit. He moved that the %foie be reduced by the sum of 2,300/ The Committee then divided when there appea red-- For the reduction 13 Against it ... Majority —77 The vote was agreed to, as well as . one of 21,3601. Tor the buildings connected with the British Mu,euro. On the next vote of 52,343/. for salaries and expenses at the British Museum, Mr. STANFORD complained that under a new arrangement the salariee of the custodians were fixed at 57/. a year, which was not equal to the wages of arechanies. ••• --70 Mr. GOULBURN said the only alteration made by the trustees was to give thrse officers a fixed salary in tithed of paying them by the dly—an arrangement which 'hey considered was more just and fair, as formerly these Acers received no remuneration when absent from any ,t 0.1190. The vote was then agreed to. A vote of 2,4591., allowed for the National Gallery, was agreed to. On the "notion that 14,9201. be granted for the support of the Geological Survey, Mr. CIIARTERIS asked the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of th, Exchequer whether he had come to any determinati on relAtive to the establishment of a Gdological Museum in Edinburgh? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he • 'tad considered the matt,, r, b ut though the Govern .,,teat f e lt considerable interest in th e esta bli s h ment o f such museums, yet the claimants were so numerous that they had not yet been able to come t o any decision. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENIN G, JUNE 4,, isBt2. Lord MAHON said that with reference to the former vote, for the National Gallery, he wished to renew a suggestion which he had fornatrly thrown ou: und r the Government of Sir Robert Peet relative to the ecab li4htnent of a Gallery of National and Histericsl Por traits similar, to tha; which was containid in a part of the Palace of Versailles. Opportunities were occurring very frequently which, with a little money to spare and some one on the I,ok out, we might very soon make a valuable collection of cotemporary portraits of the great men whom the country had produced The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be anticipated the time would soon come when the whole subject of the state of the fine arts and the national museums of the country would come under the at tention of Parliament, when the suggestion of the Noble Lord would receive full attention. The subject was one, he knew, In which the accomplished Prince who had already done so much for the fine arts in this country took great interest, and he thought in the mean time it might be safely left to his attention. After some further conversation the vote was agreed to. A vote of 4,0181. for defraying the expense of magnetic experiments was next agreed to. Votes of 5,0001., for the erection of a National Gal lery in Edinburgh, and 4,0491. for the civil establishment in Bermuda, were also agreed to. On the motion that 7,7471. be voted for the ecclesias tical e stablishments in the British North American provinces, Mr. ANSTEY opposed the grant. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that this grant was an ex piring grant, and was not to be renewed as the present recipients of it died. He should not, therefore, oppose the vote. Sir J. PAKINGTON defended the vote. It had been first established when religions establishments were in a very different state in Canada to what they were now. The grant was distributed equally among all sects, and it was arranged that as the present recipients died out, it should not be renewed. After a few words from Mr. P. Howard, Mr. Newde gate, and Mr. A. Hastie, the Committee divided, when the numbers were— For the vote Against it ... 112 ... ... 10 .•• -102 Majority The ♦ote was then agreed to. On the motion that 12,4441. be voted for the Indian department, Mr. FORSTER asked the Secretary of the Colonies what had been done for the colonization of Vancouver's Island by the Hudson's Bay Company, in pursuance of the Rog al grant of the island to that company in 1848-9, or whether he could lay on the table of the House any information on the subject? Sir J. PAKINGTON said that from the return which had been sent in by the Hudson's Bay Company he had to inform the Hon. Gentleman that 1.200 acres of land had been sold in the isl ind to nine pw chasers at the price of IL. for the purpose of colonization. There had also ha-en sent out about 100 agricultural labourers. The company had; regretted that they had not been able to do more to fscilitate the progress of colonization in the island, but they gave as a reason for not having been able to do more the derangement of everything on that coast in consequence of the discovery of gold in California. The vote was then agreed to. A vote of 19,5281. was then agreed to for the Governor and Deputy Governor of the West India Islands. A vote of 33 8621. for the expenses of the Justices of the West India Islands and the Mauritius was agreed to. On the motion that 13,7801. be voted for the Civil Establishments of the West Coasts of Africa, Mr. ANS rEY objected to the sum of 400/. included in this vote for the salary of the chaplain of Gambia. He wished to know the reason why Sierra Leone sup ported its own parsons and Gambia did not. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the reduction of the vote Against it ... ~, Majority ... The vote was then agreed to. A vote of 1,0521. for St. Helena was agreed to. The next vote was 7,0591. to defray the ecclesiastical expenses ti Western Australia. 94 -88 Mr. ANSTEY objected to paying the chaplain's sti pend and rent, amounting to 3001. The Committee divided, when there appeared— For the vote ... ... 114 Against it ... • • • ... Majority ... The vote was accordingly agreed to. The next vote was for 4911., to defray the expenses of the establishment at Port Essington. Mr. WILLIAMS objected to the vote, but after a brief discussion the vote was agreed to. The next vote was for 4,0911., to defray the expenses of the naval department of Port Essington, which was agreed to. ... -105 - On the question that 10,000/. be voted to defray the expenses of the Church Establishment in New Zealand, , Mr. ANSTEY moved that the sum be reduced by 1,1901., and declared his intention to divide the Com mittee on the vote. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, under the circumstances, and looking to the hour, had no alternative but to move that the Chairman do report progress. After a few words from Mr. L. HEY WORTH, Mr. ANSTEY drew attention to certain omissions which had been made in the estimates of sums that had in former years been paid by the Treasury, and yet not authorised by Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the items to which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman referred wsre payable under distinct Acts of Parliament. The CHAIR ILAN was then directed to report pro gress, and the House having resumed, ho did so accord ingly, and the report was ordered t , ) be received on Monday at twelve o'clock, and the Committee to sit again at twelve o'clock on Thursday. The Scutch Mills for Flax (Ireland) Bill went through Committer.

Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY asked the Colonial Secretary, in the absence of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, whether it was the intention of the Government to place colonial sugar on tho sam , , footing as foreign sugar, and to permit the refining of it in bond. Sir G. PAKINGTON said that his Right Hon. Friend had lately seen a deputation on this subject, but he could not say what answer had been given by his Right Hon. Friend. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from Aberdeen, praying that no alteration might be made in the present laws relating to the importation of corn. NEW ZEALAND BILL. _ Sir J.

MARSTIATAL, Chief Cashier• Dated the 3d day of June, 1852.. FRANCE. The CoNstitutionnel gives the following details of the movements of the expeditionary column in Kabylia : " Elrly in the morning of the 12th the column left Melat, crossed the fertile and submitted country of the Monies, and encamped near Bonnonara. It was there that General Macmahon was informed that the majority of the fractions of the powerful tribe of the Ouled•Ardouns were determined on resistance. During his march on the 14th some men of little influ ence in the tribe came to him and gave vague promises of submission, but this was only the usual plan of the Ka bytes in order to gain time. General Macmahon, therefore, paid no attention to them, and continued to pursue his march. The 15th was signalised by a coup de main of General Bosquet, who perceiving some assemblages of Kabyles dis persed them at the head of a detachment of cavalry, and brought back provisions and flocks to the camp. In the night the Kabyles appeared disposed to attack the camp, but a few musket shots from the outposts killed several of them, and made them renounce their projects. On the 16th the column followed the two banks of the Oued Abbes in the valley so called. It was then on the territory of the rebels, and their crops were destroyed. On the 17th General Macmahon waa in' formed that the hostile feelings of the trike was kept up a' 1150.31 by an impostor named 11.11 Shea. Ou this 18 , h the column marched to met Bou During the day the rear-guard had several times to beat hack the liabyle, whose audaciiy up pears d to increase as the Flinch forces drew near the country which was the centre of resistance. The enemy suffered sev , rely, while we only had a few men wounded. In the night the l“byleas ventured to approach the camp, and open a brisk fire on the ou?posts, but a bat talion came up to their support and drove off their as sailints, killing 18, and wounding 40. Oa the 21st the column reached Bou Shea. He was stationed with all his forces in a strong position in the midst of several vil lages, but nothing could withstand the ardour of our troops. The enemy were driven from all his positions, with a loss of more than 200 men. We had 5 killed and 60 wounded. Five villages and 11 hamlets remained in our power. Bou Sheah fled into the mountains, with a small escort of horsemen. The result of this affair will be the submission of some of the insurgent tribes." COURSE OF EXCH.

CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 3.—The Syndicate, appointed by grace of the Senate, March 7, 1849, and renewed March 15, 1850, March 19, 1851, and March 26, 1852, to revise the Statutes of the University, and to report to the Se nate, having again taken the subject of the constitution and powers of the Caput into consideration, have recom mended that a grace should be offered to the Senate for the introduction of the following scheme into the pro posed new body of statutes:- 1. That the Caput, elected and constituted, as is pre scribed in the draft of the revised statutes, shall retain the powers therein assigned to it so far only as respects graces for conferring degrees. 2. That a council shall be formed in the following manner : The heads of colleges shall appoint three members. The doctors in the faculties of Divinity, Law, and Physic, not being heads of colleges, shall appoint three members—that is to say, the doctors in divinity one, the doctors in law another, and the doctors in physic a third. The professors, not being either heads of colleges or doctors in any one of the said three faculties, shall ap point three members. And lastly, the colleges shall appoint three non-regents and three regents. One member of each of the fire classes above men tioned shall go out in rotation every year on No vember 6, being, however, re-eligible, and on the same day the appoiniments by the heads of colleges, doc tors, and professors shall b e ma d e i n t h e Senate house, the Ch ance ll or an d th e head of a college senior i n d egree, the two d octors i n eac h f acu l t y senior in degree, s t an di ng i n scru ti n y. They that have in degree, and the two professors senior most votes in the first scrutiny shall be deemed to be apointed, and so likewise, if it be necessary to resort to a se con d or third andlast scrutiny. At the same time the names of the non-regent and regent ap pointed by the colleges, the appointment of them rest ing with those colleges whose turn it may be to appoint the scruators, shall be certified to the Chancellor by the masters of those colleges or their deputies. The names of all persons appointed shall be immediately published to the Senate by the senior proctor. The day after (Sunday not being reckoned in either case) all the five persons so appointed shall be separately proposed to the Senate for election by grace for three years; and 45 persons so elected shall with the Chan cellor and Vice-Chancellor of the preceding year con stitvte the said council. In case of a vacancy by death, or by any other cause which shall be deemed sufficient by the Chancellor and two senior doctors present in the University, the class or college, which appointed before, may appoint again within a time to be prescribed by the Chancellor: every person so appointed may hold the place of a member on the council for the same period as that during which the person, whose substitute he is, would have held it. Bat if the cause of vacancy be not deemed sufficient, or if any ap pointment whether of an original member or of a sub stitute, bo not duly made or certified, or if the person appointed be not elected by the Senate, then the elec tion :shall be made in the manner prescribed in cap. v. sec. 9, of th e d ra ft of the revised statutes. On every occas i o n, when any member of the council intends to absent himself from the University for a limited period of time not exceeding one term, he shall be at liberty to appoint a deputy during such absence, who shall be offered to the senate for election by grace. If any member shall have been absent from all the meetings of the council during two successive terms, his place shall be ipso facto void. The place of a member of the council shall not be rendered void either by his resuming his regency, if a non-regent, or by his promotion to non-regency if a regent. The duty of the council shall be to consider and pre pare all graces to be offered to the Senate, excepting those for conferring degrees, whether proceeding from individual members of the Senate, or from syndicates; nor shall any grace, except for conferring a degr.e, uffered to the Senate without the previous sanction of the major part of those voting upon it in the council. Nu business shall be transacted in the council unless five members at the le ast b e present, o f w h om t h e Chun cellt,r shall always be one, and he shall have the casting vote when the voter s are equally divided. I n case o f a difference of opinion b etween the Chancellor an d a ma jority of the members of the council present, no act of the council shall be valid without the approval of a ma jority of the whole number of persons constituting the council. Meetings of the council shall be held at least in every alternate week during t erm t i me , and also at such other times as to the Chaticellor may seem fit.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE - CHANCELLOR'S COURT, June 3. (Befor e Sir GEORGE TURNER.) GOODCHAP V. WEAVING.—THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY. Sir W. Page Wood and Mr. Roxburgh appeared in support of a motion for the production and deposit of deeds and documents admitted by the fourth schedule in Mr. Feargus O'Connor's answer, but which was, in fact, the title deeds of all the estates which had been pur chased by M . r. O'C onnor f or the N at i ona l L an d Com pany, to which there had been, as it was stated, 75,000 subscribers. _____ , Mr. bwanston and Mr. W. H.

THE- - AUSTRALIAN GOLD DIGGINGS. The followin g extrac ts from letters just received from the Launceston, Van Diemen'a Land, are illustrative of e xtraordinary social revolution now in progress in the Australian gold districts:— _ "Sail ors f rom Port Phi li p are o bt a ining 901. for the run home, and 1 0 1 . h as bt . en pa id f or t h e run across to Laun ceston.

I sin almost afinaid it will cost me twice as 1.13,10 - 1 to conduct my establishaamt this year as i t I v ,„ `toy previous one, and without a clerk I shall be worked to death. Nothing doing in shipping, exerpting in conveying passengers in the regu lsr trading vessels, ar.d must pay ro marksoly We are daily expecting from California a slashing Yankee steamer. She is intended to ply backwards and forwards between Port Philip and Launceston, and will make the passage in thirty-six hours or so. And now about gold at Port Philip. In two months from the discovery of gold there, 1,000,0001. worth is known to have been conveyed into Melbourne and Geelong. A large quantity has reached us, and been purchased at 31. to 31, 2s. per oz.; every vessel, therefore, leaving the colony will convey gold home. The last screw steamer (from Port Philip) is said to have brought amongst 200 passengers more than 50,0001. worth. The Hero, the first wool ship, took home 120,000/. worth. The Melbourne has on board more than 400,0001. worth, and from the accounts we receive from those who have been, and been successful, it appears that gold in that colony is inexhaustible. All the labouring class are gone or going, and almost every one of these has been a prisoner—some of the most successful are even now only emancipist. An old servant of mine digs up 150/. in sixteen days; a servant of G—'s brings 25ilbs. weight in a few weeks; another party of seven pick up on the grass, and never poke the ground over more than a foot deep, more than 401bs. weight in eight days. Very numerous in stances might be adduced of success. It will revolu tionise us here. We want a large influx of popula tion, or I don't know how the pastoral, agricultural, and other pursuits of the colony can be carried on. All that you may hear about it in England you may believe, for rely on it the whole truth will not be told. At Mount Alexander, Port Philip, it is in great abundance—the operation of digging not being carried to a greater depth than 5 feet; and besides, it is spread over such an extent of country, more than 100 miles. England must be benefitted by it— it all goes to England. She must give something in ex change, which will be her manufactures, and perhaps flour among the rest. Dysentery, from the want of good water, prevails greatly in the hot weather at Mount Alexander, and has driven many away. In March we shall be almost destitute of males. I never saw such a paucity of men since I have been in the colony. • " The town of Launceston is quite in a commotion— fellows with gold rings, watches, chains, &c., that have been common blacksmiths. Ono that had often shod my horse returns the possessor of 1001. after paying all expenses ; this, too, in five weeks. Another, a hard-working labourer, in G 's store, returns with 25 lbs. weight, which G bougnt. A boy, too, aeon, fourteen years of age, cleared in less time 4001. Another of the same age 1201. It is waste of time to multiply instances. These, with many others, have come immediately before myself. I don't know how we shall get our harvest in. We have abundant crops, but not sufficient labour. Everything, I am afraid, will be enormously dear. All labour, espe cially mechanics, as carpenters, bricklayers, painters, &c., in short every description of manual labour is wanted. I should think it would pay well to ship American flour to Port Philip. Not a man will do a stroke of work while in possession of gold, and knowing where and how to get more when that is gone. I really can't tell how we shall get on; our social state will be truly wretched, and can only be neutralised by an im mense influx of population from home. In Port Philip the wages of a woman servant are 50/. per annum, and will continue at this rate so long as the gold lasts, and perhaps higher. In short, they will not work. Every gold finder thinks himself a gentleman now, and tells you ho has done with work." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 3. SUPPLY. The House then went into Committee of Supply, Mr BERNAL in the chair. The first vote of 113,4761. for the repairs of royal palaces and public &C., was egreed to, after some opposition by Mr. W. WILLIAMS, and a short dis cussion, in which Mr. HAMILTON explained the various items of which the vote was composed. On the next vote of 60,546/., for maintaining and keeping in repair the royal parks and pleasure-grounds, Lord DUNCAN inquired why there was an excess of 24 0001. as compared with the vote last year? Mr. HAMILTON said the increase was composed of 7,8571. for alterations and improvements in the parks of Richmond, Bushy, and Hampton; of 4,950/. for widen ing the roads in Hyde-park and draining the Regent's park ; of 4,976/. for the maintenance of the royal parks, which was hitherto defrayed out of the land revenues, and also of other sums which had been transferred to this particular account. The question as to the continuance of the office of ranger was, no doubt, deserving consideration. Mr. SLANEY considered that great credit was due to the heads of the Woods and Forests for improving the walks and drainage of the parks, and otherwise at tending to the comforts and convenience of the public. Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to know how soon Battersea Park would be finished and opened to the people? Mr. RICARDO, who wore his arm in a sling, said that, as he had been put forward by the Noble Lord be low as a victim of the incompetency or the Noble Lord opposite (Manners) for the office which he held, he begged to say that he owed his accident to the bad shoulders of his horse and to his own clumsiness, and not to the state of the road on which he was riding. Lord J. MANNERS said that he was taking all the means in his power to hasten the formation of Battersea park so fast as the different plots fell in. Mr. W. WILLIAMS dia not grudge a proper outlay on the parks, but when he found that such a sum as 15,0001. was to be spent on St. James's, the Green, and Hy de Parks, ha could sot help asking why such large sums could be constantly required for the maintenance of tho-e park*? It re quired persons of some influence and gentility to get into those parks. He himself had been turned back with much incivility, when in a cab, and about to come down to that House on public busi ness. Now, he thought that these public parks, sup ported as they were by public money, were made too exclusive. An officer of the guards was allowe-d to pass through the park, but not a private gentleman. He could not understand the reason for this distinction. He did not wish the parks to be thrown open to omnibuses, waggons, and carts; but certainly, considering the im mense sums spent on the parka, the .. general publi c oug h t to have a larger amo unt of privilege given to them. Colonel SIBTHORP seldom, very seldom indeed, agreed with the Hon. Member (Mr. Williams), but, in this instance, he really believed the public were i m- h, h faire haduse of marble their parks. properly debarred from thea arch, With respect to the always obj ecte d to the expenditure for removing that useless piece of ex travagance, and to t h e place selected f or its site. He had moved for a r eturn of the expense of removing th e arch, and he was then assured the exp ense would not greatly exceed 4,000/4 but from the st atement made to him, he lear ned that the actual expen se was nea rer 12,00 01 . tha n 9,0001. He was one of th e last men in the House to . deny her Dl a j esty any luxury, enjoyment, and pleasure this country could give, for well s he merited these testimonies regard ; but as f ar as of - ___ t h e marble arch and the trees in the park were con cerned, he considered the expense of removing one and the destruction of the other, were little less than an in fringement on the rights and liberties of the people. Ho would beg to ask the Noble Lord what had been the expenditure of removing the marble arch, and whether the expense had been in accord ance with the statem en t made to him by the Noble Lord opposite? Lord SEYMOUR denied that the cost of taking down and rebuilding the arch had exceeded the estimate he had given. There were other expenses connected with B uc kingharn Palace which were n o t i nc l u d ed in the re moval of the arch, and if these ve,re deducted, he had no doubt the expense of removing the arch would be found to be within the estimates. Sir DE LACY EVANS thought the arch was a very fine ornament to the park, and very suitably situated. With regard to the passage through the Horse Guards, he had been denied the privilege of passing through the park, but he thought it was not quite legal to stop the representatives of the people when public business called them to that House. The Hon. and Gallant Member made some remarks on the water and drainage of the Serpentine, which did not reach the gallery. Lord J. MANNERS said, with respect to the drain ago of the Serpentine, it would be difficult to legislate on the subject; but various plans had been proposed, and the subject was under consideration, as understood. In reply to a question, Lord J. MANNERS said, with respect to the office of ranger of parks, a report had been made in which every information would be found. Lord SEYMOUR said the pay of rangers could easily be stated—for they had no pay at all. Colonel SIBTHORP said on looking at the amount of the expense of removing the arch, he could not find any expense charged except what was consequent on the re moval of the arch. Mr. W. WILLIAMS hoped the Noble Lord (Lord Seymour) would explain the charge for ranger's apart ments, in St. James's Park, 1,5601., especially as he had just informed the House that the rangers of parks had no pay. Lord SEYMOUR said the payments made were for gatekeepers and others; the chief rangers received nothing. Lord DUNCAN said the rangers had lodges in some of the parks, which lodges were kept up at the public expense Ile again repeated that it was inconvenient to have two sets of servants in the parks, one under the rangers, and the other under the Woods and Forests. He was much pleased to hear that this anomaly was to be remedied by the doing away with divided jurisdiction, Lord J. MANNERS reminded the Noble Lord that rangers of parks were royal gifts. The D u k e of Wel lington was ranger of Hyde-park, b ut h ad no house. The rangership of Richmond-park was given d to one of the Royal Family, and a house was provided. wish to c ititOrfere with [,re sumed the Noble Lord had no these Royal gifts. Lord DUNCAN did not wish to interfere in the re motest degree with the rights of the Crown. His Noble Friend had mistaken what ho said. His belief was there were several lodges in the parks which were not occupied by members of the Royal Family. They were occupied by deputy rangers, and kept up at the expense of the public. Mr. SLANEY thought the Crown ought to have the power of appoi n ti ng to these rangerships, as he believed they were given as equivalents yielded by the Crown. It would not to he quite the thing to say that the'lloyal residences should be let and thus made the most of. Mr. WILLIAMS could not understand why 1,500/. should be required to keep up the lodges, when all the duty for parties living in them to do was to open and shut the gates. Th e T o o wee then agreed to, 121,249/. for the New Houses of Parliament.— Ris , ,reed to. 8 3201. for a new building for yublic records.— Agreed to. 10,0001, for he Stationery-office.—Agreed to. 89 3961, for new p:.cke! harbour and harbour of re loge at i - folyhead.—Agreed to. 170,0001 for harbours of refuge. Mr. WILLIA.MS wished to know wh\ch of the Cotnnel Isla(ids was to have a harbour, and what was the original estimate? Mr. HAMILTON said a report had been published, which supplied the requisite information. Mr. THORNELY said the whole of the amount for harbours of refuge exceeded 2,000,000/, and this was an immense sum. Mr. WILLIAMS said he understood the money for the Cnannel Islands was to go towards fortifying them. Mr. STAFFORD said that nine-tenths of the money was expendel in harbours of refuge in the Channel Islands, and not in fortifications. Mr. 'WILLIAMS wished to know the amount of the original estimate, and the amount spent? Mr. STAFFORD replied, the original estimate for Alderney was 620,0001,, and for Jersey, 700,0001.; and that there bad been spent for Alderney 195,0004, and for Jersey 192,0001. It was necessary to continue the works, to prevent the sums already expended from be ing useless. Mr. WILLIAMS believed that the public would prefer that all further expenditure should cease for these works. Vote agreed to. 1,3511., for works connected with Port Patrick Har bour.—Agreed to. 35 865/., for public buildings in Ireland, connected with the Board of Works. Mr. V. SMITH said that this was an increasing vote, He noticed a sum of 30,0001, for building a Custom house and Post-office at Belfast. That was a new charge, and ought to have been a separate vote. After the evidence which had been given before the Com mittee, he looked with jealousy at tb e expenditure fir public works in Ireland, and did riot feel inclined to trust altogether to the discretion of the Commissioners. Mr. HAMILTON admitted that it would have been better if the sum referred to had been made the subject of a separate vote. In the arrangement which had been made with respect to the building of the Custom-house, it had been thought advisable, instead of paying the ex pense out of the revenue, to bring it before the House. Mr. WILLIAMS said that he noticed in this vote a charge of 3,900/. for Plncenix-park. There was, in another vote, a similar charge on the same subject. There was also a charge of 6841.. for the Queen's Col leges of Belfast and Galway. He believed the under standing was, when Sir R Pccl. bro 6,ght, in tha .Qhmg.to f these colleges, that no monfy would be required beyond the sum then agreed to. He also observed that there was a sum of 3,076/. for the Royal Irish Academy. Some explanation was required as to these items. Mr. HAMILTON said, that there could not be a more useful public establishment than the Royal Irish Academy, and the sum proposed was rendered necessary by the expiry of the lease of the buildings connected with it. With regard to the Queen's Colleges, the Act made no provision for the maintenance of them. Mr. WILLIAMS asked for an explanation of the two items respecting the Phoenix-park. Lord SEYMOUR said, that the one item referred to the buildings in the park; and the other to the expense attending the grounds as a place of public recreation. Vote agreed to. 11,028/. for repairing Kingstown Harbour.—Agreed to. 95 , 80 0/.—salaries and expenses of officers of the two Houses of Parliament, and allowances for retirement. Mr. WILLIAMS said there had been a great increase in this vote. In 1844 the gross amount of all the items under the head of salaries, &c., was 677,0001. This year it was 1,032,0004 Sir D. NORREYS wished to know who was respon sible for the supply of water to the Houses of Parliament. He wished also to direct attention to the defective state of Westminster Hall. The water had been running into it for the last two or three months, and there were leakages in every direction. When the fire occurred in part of the new Houses last year, no water was to be had. Lord J. MANNERS defended the officers of the de partment of which he was the head from any blame in the matter. Lord SEYMOUR admitted that there was a deficiency of water when the fire in question broke out, but he had taken measures to have a supply of water twice a day, and had a return made every week that the supply was sufficient. He believed the same system had been con tinued by the Noble Lord opposite. Vote agreed to. 54,4001., salaries of the officers of the Treasury.— Agreed to. 26,5501., salaries of the officers of the Home Depart ment-office.—Agreed to. 67,7351, salaries of the officers of the Foreign-office. Mr. WILLIAMS thought some explanation should be given of the enormous charge for contingent ex penses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the vote was taken for next year, and of course those ex penses could not be described. Mr. WILLIAMS suggested that in future the contin gent expenses of the past year should be stated in a note in the votes of the following year. Vote aereed to. 38,815/. for salaries in the offices of the Secretary-at- War and in the C ,, loniat-office.—A g re e d to. 65 320/., salaries of officers of the Privy Council and Board of Trade.—Agreed to. 2 6801., salaries of the officers of the Privy Seal.— Agreed to. 23,1504, salaries of the Paymaster General's depart -. 4. A grnod to. 8,3261., salaries of the department of the Comptroller of the Exchequer. —Agreed to. 22,8201 ; salaries in the office of the Commissioners of Works and Public Buildings. Lord DUNCAN wished to make one or two remarks on this vote, which was one that was proposed for the first time. The House would r, collect that last year a Bill was introduced, by which the office of Public Works was separated, and properly separated, from that of the Woods and Forests. For the separation of these two offices the public were indebted to the late Govern ment. The point to which he wished to direct the atten tion of the Committee was, the great expense which had been incurred in consequence of the separation of the two offices. He thought that the separation of the two offices ought to have been attended with some economy; but he found that, before the separation, the charge fur the two had amounted to 33,600/., while it had since risen to 43,465/, showing an increase of not less than 10,0004 He also found that at the time the change had been effected, a number of old clerks had been dis charged on retiring pensions, while a number of new hands had been put in at a great expense to the public. Then, again, it appeared that the sum to be paid to the solicitor to the Board of Works, and his clerks, amounted to not less than 3.900/. a year, and that the sum to be paid to the solicitor to the Woods and Forests and Land Revenue Depa r t men t, an d hi s c l er k s , amoun t e d to not less than 7,0001. a year. He certainly thought that those were enormous sums to pay for legal services; and he regretted that the separation of the two offices had been rendered so unpalatable by the addition of about 13.0001. a year to the expenses for clerks and other officers. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON said ho believed the Noble Lord was under a mistake as to the relative cost of the departments before and since their separation. From a statement then before him it appeared that bef,re the separation of the offices the salaries of the clerks had amounted to 23,0131, a year, and that since the separa tion the salaries had amounted to 23,8001., which gave but a very small increase of expense under the new ar rangement. The legal expenses had formerly amounted to 10,018/., and amounted at present to only 9,3001. Lord DUNCAN said it appeared that the salaries of the solicitors and their officers in these two departments amounted in round numbers to 11,0001. a year, while the solicitor to the Treasury received only 2,0001. a year. He could not understand why the latter charge should be so much less than the former. Mr. WALPOLE said that the vote for the solicitor to the Treasury did not include the salaries of clerks and other expenses included in the vote then under their consideration. If all those charges were added to the Treasury vote, he believed that vote would amonnt to 23,0001. a year. Lord DUNCAN said he thought that the whole principle of paying those solicitors required revision. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON said he was informed that the arrangement for the payment of the solicitors had been made by the Noble Lord lately at the head of the Woods and Forests, and that it had b-en based on the principle that they ought to receive an amount equi valent to their average receipts during a Certain number of years. The vote was then agreed to. 20,645/, were v o t e d f or the salaries and expenses of the Commissioners o f Woods, Forests, a nd L an Revenues. were havingf or the S b a e n t e ppropape o r O e d ffi t c o e. defr a A 2, vote a .0 of 3, portion of th e expenses of the Ecclesiastical Commission for mr. England, WILLIAMS said he should feel it his duto take the sense of the Committee against that vote. Ho thought that nothing could be more discreditable than that the public should be charged with the expense of an eotremcoruesaltyedwetathOlrtyhe manag ement o f the funds of our Church establishment. Colonel sthrtioup wished to know why it was that a portion only of the expenses of the Commission were included in that vote? Mr. G. A. HAMILTON said that that subject had been carefully considered in the year 1847; and it had then be en t h ought that as the duties of the Ecclesiasti cal Commis s i oners were not wholly connected with the Church, but em b race d suc h questions as the tithe com position, w hi c h a ff ected the laud, it wa portion of th e expense o f the Commission should be de trayed out of th e p u bli c f un d s . Sir B.

A vote of 221 361/. having been proposed for the ex pense of , he Poet. -law C )mmissien, Se-H. VERNEY said he believed there must be some thing redically wrong in our mode of dealing with the poor. There were in England 6,000,000 of acres of land wholly uncultivated, and yet we crowded able-bodied la bourers in poor-houses, or compelled them to seek er n ' ployment in foreign lands. He believed that cur present law of settlement required careiul revision. Sir J. TROLLOPE said that the subject of the law of settlement had engaged a considerable portion of the at tention of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Baines) who bad preceded him in his present office, and of his own atten tion during the short period he had held that office, and he hoped that if the same duties should continue to de volve upon him, he should be able in the course of the ensuing session to introduce a measure for regulating the law of settlement, which would be satisfactory to the country and beneficial to the labouring classes.—(He ar ' hear.) He was aware that our labourers required to b: allowed a more expansive opening f or th ei r exertil than that which they at present p ossesse d. Be woul d not, therefore, further take up, un necessar ily, the time of the Committee. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that he knew of no depart . ment which, year after year. increased in the same pro: portion as the poor-law. In 1844 the whole charge was 49 700/. for England and I re l an d ; i n 1847 the amount reached 182,2001. ; l as t y ear i t was 2.11,5 n n'a and in the present year it rea c h e d 221,360/. lie did not mean to charge the Right H onoura bl e Gentlem an opposite with this increase—which near ly altogeth er took place in Ireland—but cert a i n ly it requ ired exP i li. nation.—(Herr, hear.) Sir J. TROLLOPE explained that the increase in Present year, as regard e d I re l an d, was ow i ng to the • aa dicel Charities Act, passed in the last session. Mr. BAINES should say that the increase as regar clea , the English staff was only 600/., or 2004 per Year ad s ditioual to eac h o f t h ree poor -l aw i nspectors, w bo wf recommended by him to suc h i ncrease o f sa l ar y, 65 being,oy in every way ent i t l e d to it.—(Hear.)
