This was placing the House of Lords in a painful and even humiliating position. lie was most sincerely desirous of a settlement of the question of Reform, but tkis was not the way to, settle it. His lord ship went onto say that it would, in his opinion, bo a very serious evil to the country indeed if the bill was passed without a general Redistribution of scats being finally settled, and no room left for further alterutions or agitation on the subject. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the Government scheme afforded as good a pause and resting place as they were ever likely to get on this subject. He had not heard a single objection made to their plan as far Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., THE CURATE'S DISCIPLINE. 11y Mrs. EILOART. "A very good novel.

All that had been urged against it was that some of their lordships thought it did no go far enough. He did not and could not see why if stopping at a limit of 10,000 was not a final settlement the limit of 12 should be considered final. There was no reason offered for stopping at 12,000, or why that number should be considered more satisfactory than that which had been chosen by the House of Commons after careful consideration and mutual compromise. It would be wis dom not to disturb that settlement, but allow time to show whether the country was not satisfied with what had been done. Ho objected very strongly to the amendment, as it really upset everything and settled nothing ; still more strongly did he object to it on the ground of its uncertainty as to the mode of distributing the seats proposed to be ob tained. Lord Grey had no right to force upon the Go vernment the performance of a duty which was a task which properly belonged to himself. If a complete scheme of this kind were brought forward, he, for himself, did not care how much labour it would entail if they could pass it; but it was impossible to class the present crude amend mad in the cafegory of finished plans. Lord CARNARVON explained the reasons which would induce him to support Lord Grey's amendment. He was in favour of the system of grouping boroughs. It had worked well both in England and Wales, and had almost put an end there to bribery. The more important ques tion was how they intended to distribute the seats they gained. It was proposed to give them to great and im portant constituencies, both county and borough, not one of which was touched under the bill of her Majesty's Go vernment. Lord CARDIGAN expressed his intention of voting for the bill as it stood, and begged that, when it had nearly reached its final stage, another bill would not, at the last moment, be substituted for it, involving months of labour and increased agitation; and Lord Airlie twitted the Go vernment with the firmness with which they adhered to what they called their compact with the house when Liberal amendments were proposed, and the ease with which they threw it overwhen changes of the most sweep ing kind were bi ought, for ward by Conservatives. Lord STANHOPE had no difficulty as to which way he was to vote on this occasion, for he looked on the amend ment as not nearly so much intended toimprove the bill as to injure the Government. The plan of grouping had been the death of the last. bill, and would have been the death of this had it been adopted ; yet at the last hour they were called upon to adopt this grouping plan in its most objec tionable form, and coupled with an extensive scheme of disfranchisement. He could not believe in any statesman bringing forward such a measure at such a moment. It was not of the lateness of the Session of which he com plained, for while there was public work to do their lordships were bound to sit and do it; but it was the scope and mischievous tendency of the amendment, cutting up the country into three-cornered constituencies, to which ho olojected, and he most certainly should record his vote against it. Lord KIMBERLEY thought the motion had been brought under their notice in a most careful, moderat-, and statesmanlike manner. No greater misfortune could happen to this country than that they should constantly be debating and altering its Constitution, and this was certain to be the case for some time to come unless a total settlement wero'mado of the Redistribution plan now. It was not douo by the pt:Pseut bill, and the amendment would remedy this defect, and then fora he should sup- TTAVAN A CIGARS.

Lord FORTESCUE expressed his approval of the amendment, and Lord GRANVILLE said tha►, so far from this bill being considered as finally setting the Redistribution scheme, such a merit was not even claimed for it by its most par tial advocates. It Was, on the contrary, suggested by the Lord Chancellor that they should wait for two or three years to see how the people took it. If they went on with this bit by bit Reform, there really would bo.no end to the question or the agitation it would give rise to. His lord ship drew an amusing parallel between the condition of the Conservatives and the volunteers who went to defend Chester Castle, and who did not know whether they were entitled tc defend the Castle, their arms, or even them selves. He then went on to blame this part of the bill, and intimated that her Majesty's Government knew their duty too well to abandon the measure because their lord ships might see fit, after mature deliberation and debate, to strenghten the bill where it was weakest, and confirm its finality on a most important point. Lord DERBY replied, briefly complaining of the time at which the amendment was brought forward, and above all, of the incompleteness of the proposal. Ho repeated that if this measure was now forced upon the Government it would be his duty to ask the committee to report progress until he could consult his colleagues as to the course they might deem it consistent with their honour to pursue. Lord GREY said that to complain of the time at which ho brought his motion forward was most unreasonable, inasmuch as so early as March last he had taken the op portunity of stating his views on Reform, and on that oc casion Lord Derby had rebuked him as being premature. After pointing out what he considered the merits of his plan—its completeness and its definite character—he went on to criticise with ;keen irony of .manner the concluding threat, as he' termed it, of Lord Derby, which, if it was a threat., he said, was one which would only have in fluence on those of the smallest political experience. He, however, denied that it was in the power of Lord Derby to take so extreme a step as to drop tho bill and plunge the country into renewed excitement, especially when he was sure the decision of the Peers would be supported by the public fooling and opinion of the country. Their Lordships then divided on the question that the words "ten thousand" stand part of the clause, when there appeared-- Contents • No*contents 86 Majority 12 Lord GREY'S amendment was therefore rejected. On clause 16, Lord LYDEDEN said he was convinced that without some disfranchisement of the smaller boroughs any re distribution of seats would do little good. He moved that all boroughs under 5,000 population should be disfran chised. He asked their lordships to consider his motion well before it became a violent public question. There was not an amendment which they had adopted which was not a Conservative amendment. This was an oppor tunity for them to show their impartiality. After a few words from Lord ARLYNDELL, Tho house divided, when there were Contents Non-contents Majority The original clause was then agreed to, as were also the clauses up to 27 inclusive. The house then resumed, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, their lordships adjourned at five minutes to 12 o'clock.

Mr. FAWCETT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would give a promise that Parliament shall be consulted, and its opinion expressed, before either a charter is granted to a Roman Catholic University, or before the Government sanctions any other scheme affecting univer fity education in Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that subject would be treated in a constitutional manner, but he refused to enter into any promise at the bidding of the hon. gentleman.

The next question on the paper was the following, to be put by Mr. WHALLEY, "To ask the right hon. member for the University of Cambridge whether the Select Com mittee on the Ecclesiastical Titles and Roman Catholic Rolief Acts were about to close their inquiry without hear ing evidence in support of the present law? and why the evidence of the Rev. Mr. M'Ghee, which has been offered in support of the present law, had not been taken ?" The SPEAKER said he did not call upon the hon. mem ber to put his question, because it referred to a matter at present before a select committee which had not yet made its report .; 5P4 PER *7 V • !RIR • THE PUBLIC 4( • • TIMES.—" It is the first of AugUkt*Cill cipal argument of Lord Derby and of hi last night. "It is the first of A • t"A i • August," , dtook late to do anything more than is proposed in the Reform Bill as it stands. " It is the first of August," and if an amendment be carried the Government will have seriously to consider what course they shall pursue. The argument and the threat told in a way to convince every impartial observer how completely the judgment of the House of Lords was at variance with the decision cf the Ministry. Iu spite of the fact, reiterated with 6' damnable itera tion," that it was the first of August —in spite of the MCII3C3 which is deearcl not to have been a menace, though delivered with all the solemuit) and producing all the effect which could ever characte rise the most solemn menace in the world, 86 peers supported Lord C-rey's amendment for the extension of the redistributi.m scheme of the Reform Bill, against 98 who voted for the Government.

As to argument against Lord Grey's amendme nt, there was none. ‘lt is the first of August," said Lord Derby.most whom Cairns—upon must be di r ectly charged the small transfer of votes which gave the Government their feeble victory, wrapped up the same plea in more voluminous dis guises, but the argument is the same. Lord Cairns did, indeed, profess that he would have preferred a larger scheme of redistribution as more states manlike and more Conservative ; and he opposed the amendment of the Government plans upon the simple ground of the dangers which might ensue should the Government prove restiff. The especial defenders of the Constitution —the leadine members • of the Conservative Ministry—appearecr to forget that, if the late period at which the Reform Bill had reached the House of Lords were to be attributed as a matter of blame to auy one, it must be laid to the charge of the Ministry themselves, and that in any case their arguments tended to the extinction of the House of Lords as a branch of the Legislature co ordinate with the House of Commons. Lord Grey's amendment was singularly simple. He proposed to take a member apiece from each of twelve boroughs now returning two members, and having a popula tion of between 1 0 , 000 and 12,000 . This was the ame ndment upon which the vote was taken. Had it been accepted, however, he would have rgoneas an on to obtain eleven mo re seats b y grouping, or alternative by disfranchising, the boroughs contain ing less than 5,000 inhabitants. The 23 seats thus to obtained he placed, of course, at the disposal of the Government, but' he very properly indicated a complete plan of distributing them. Three he desired to give to a new constituenc—the barrister s of the Inns of Court; twelve as third members to each of twelve counties and divisions of counties numbering more than 150,000 inhabitants ; eight to as man y boroughs—Bristol , Sheffield, Wolverhamp ton, and the five metropolitan boroughs of Lamouth beth, Westminster, Marylebon e, Finsbury, and S wark. As we have said the Government had not a fragment of argum ent to urge against these p posals, but some phrases they could and did etnploy. Who, asked Lord Derby, has ever beforeugges s ted such a plan of redistribution as is now pronounced. essential to Teace? The limit of 10,000 was the; lowest limit of boroughs containing two members prescribed in the bill of 1854, which dent further than any ther in r ecommending a transfer of seats. But we have advanced since,lBs4. Who has ever before propo sed ected the househotruth ld suffthat it is i rage? Lo mpossiblerd Derby altogether negl to make an essential change in one branch other of com our eepresentative system, and to leave the paratively unaltered. The franchise and the distri bution of seats must move together. This was the doctrine insisted upon with unimpeachable argu ments last year, and it remains true now, however convenient it May be be to forget it. We shall thnoat t resign it, h owev er often we m ay assured Barnstaple, Beverley, Bridgwater, and the r est are: thriving, gro win g , p opulous, and, pure. The ex tended scope o f Lord Grey's scheme was justified by the extended scope , of. the Enfranchising Clauses,, and the decision arrivd at reluctantly by the House of Lords against its better judgmant loaves un guarded a weak defence, which be the objghout ect of imme di ate assault. Bat always, and the apologii,s of the Government, appeared t f he pl .a 6' it is the first of Aug is of and i any change he made, e ven for the better, the house of Common s must be censulted. << It H is the first of Au g ust," an a so rt of around swell of approval responded to the well-used phrase. We should have been more ready to receive this defence for inaction, di s honourable as it is to th e House of Lords, were it consistently acted upon. But who, we ask, have most outrageously disre garded it? If we review the progress of the bill through committee, we find tint to the Ministry must be attributed the most important occasion of conflict with the Commons, the most threatening source of protracted discussions' prolonged con ferences, and loss of time. When Lord Cairns proposed to raise the lddger franchise froth £lO to £ls—a proceeding as unwise in its inception as it will probably prove unsuccessful in its sequel—he had no sooner ceased than Lord Malmesbury jumped up and assented to the proposal. He did it, indeed, as a compromise ; but not even Lord Malmesbury's ingenuity could explain btween what conflicting elemen ts it was a compromeise. The truth is that the plea against extending the Redistribution scheme on account of the time which must be occupied in settling it is thoroughly unreal. No one knew better than the Ministerial advocates who advanced the argument that no time whatever would be wasted except by the Government itself. The House of Commons would not occupy an hour in assenting to an extended scheme of Re distribution. The Ministry has throughout been the impediment to action on a broad scale, and if the opposition of the Ministry were removed all ob stacles would vanish. Lord Derby had another plea. Lord Grey, he said, asked the House to disfran chise certain boroughs, but the Government bad always gone on the principle of ascertaining what places should be enfranchised before Ammar©cons g w h e re disfranchisemen t should begin. We that Mr. Disraeli avowed this principle in the House of Commons. We are aware that Mr. Gladstone approved it. All the same we venture to declare-- we use Lord Derby's own vigorous phrase" that it is absolute nonsense," and that no Ministry ever has, or ever could, proceed on such a principle. En franchisement and disfranchisement are simply two sides of the same transaction, which is a transfer of a respective privilege front one community to another ; and uo statesman could ever propose the transfer without having in his mind at the same instant the relative claims of the two constituencies. It is as rational to talk of trying to balance the weights at the end of a beam talk attending only to what is put in one scale as to of enfranchising one borough without considering the disfranchise ment of another. As the Duke of Argyll well pointed out, the Government have by their action flatly contradicted the professed but impossible rinciple. They proposed to enfra nchise certain n orthern boroughs. The House of Commons pro osed to confer additional seats on certain large towns, and the Government consented. Had they acted upon the principle they had before and now put forward, this acquiescence could not have inter fered with the enfranchisement of the northern boroughs, because their claims to enfranchisement had been independently considered. It could only have produced a further disfranchisement. We know that it did not. The Ministry, being not wholly unwise in their acts, however distracte ith d they may be in their motives of action, w drew the proposal to enfranchise those boroughs which bad established an independent claim to that re presentation, and which m a y be expected, now their claims have been acknowledged by Conserva tive Ministers, to clamour for a confirmation of the privileges promised only to be withheld. The Go vernmeve withstood a practical an safe pro posal fnt ha the tra.nsformatioa of theird sc heme of or Redistribution in to a rmanent shape, and a pe majority of twelve have su p ported them. So pitiful, a victory in spite oernery effort of Ministerial whips to secure it, and th ost solemn warnings of the consequences were it not secured, is a defeat. The Government said they would have seriously to con sider their position in reference to the bill were the amendment carried. We have heard these threats before. There is nothing in them, though repeated for an hour's duration. spa has the Government not . yielded to secure the sing of their Bill? What would they not yield which can by any pos sibility be proposed ? Who would lose by the re jection of the measure now of s this we may be sure much as themselves ? Much may be uncertain, but —that they will be successful, and yet, though suc cessful, little of the credit of victory will be theirs. They have resisted when they could ; they have y i e ld e d when they m ust ; and refusing to meet the wishes of Parliament by making their Bill worthy of the occasio n, and obviating the certainty of re newed a gitation, they have shown how little w isdo m t h e events of the session have tau g h t them.

Lord OVERSTONE presented a petition against cer tain clauses in the bill now before the house entitled the North British Railway Dill. The Duke of CLEVELAND sail there were some cir cumstances which would render it imperatively necessary that a preference should be given to a class of shareholders. Tho noble duke then wont into an elaborate statement as to the arrangements which some companies were obligo•i to make for the issue of fresh stock, and said that in many cases it was the Only means of saving the credit of the companies. The House of Commons itself had sanctioned this course of procedure. The Duke of MONTROSE said that on examining the petition he found that it was signed by two persons only, ope of whom was an attorney and a very small shareholder, and the other was likewise a very small shareholder. Tho great body of the shareholders had assented to raise money in the way which had been sug gested, and against which course this petition had been presented, and he thought that as it was only signed by two individuals it would bo going too- far to *expect that the house should act upon it. A railway in the position de scribed was like a stranded ship where the captain could raise money for repairs by a prepreference mortgage. After a few remarks from Lord REDESDALE and a reply from Lord OVERSTONE, the bill was read a third time as amended. DOGS REGULATIQX , BILL (IRELAND) ACT. This Bill was read a second time.

Cavendish - square , *** 134, Duke-street, Liverpool. On clause 15 being proposed, Lord GREY moved as an amendment that at line 4 the words 10,000 should be omitted, and the words _2,000 inserted, and at the end of the clause should be added " the boroughs enumerated in the second part of the schedule should only return members to Parliament jointly in the manner described." He condemned the whole system of redistribution which had been proposed. The right hon. gentleman who represented the other house in Parlia ment had stated that he should be willing to propose a more extensive redistribution of scats if the house would support him. Now the amendment he was about to propose would not be adverse to the principles of the bill, and he could not conceive anything more inju rious than it would be to neglect this great question of redistribution. The • Earl of DERBY, who was received with cheers, said-When I came down to the house this evening, 1 own I was under some misapprehension that your lordships might be induced to consent to the amendinent of the noble earl, which . would have the effect of placing the Govern ment in a position of extreme embarrassment. (Hear, hear.) But I confess that, having listened to the noble ear], and heard the whole of his statement, I am considerably re lieved from this apprehension, for I cannot believe it is possible your lordships will adopt a plan so crude and in complete, and that you will not, with the view of settling the great question of Reform, enter upon a new Reform Bill altogether, and introduce a number of new and untried principles, which, if proposed at the beginning of May, might be worthy of consideration, but which could only lead to embarrassment at the present time. The principle we went on was that disfranchisement should coincide with enfranchisement, and, acting upon this, we thought we should not deprive any Englishman of enfranchise ment, whether he lived in a small or large town, for the purpose of enfranchising communities which had grown up of late years. But the noble earl goes upon a totally different principle, and proposes to partially disfranchise a number of towns fer the solo reason that their population is under 12,000. There might be some justification for such a course ii the noble cad could show that those towns had been gradually decaying since 1832. But I find that the contrary has been the case, and that every one of the twelve towns has been steadily progressing. But the noble earl, not merely content with his own plan of dis franchisement, has his eye also directed to the proposal of the noble lord behind him for disfranchising all boroughs with a population below 5,000 ; or, if that should not be acceptable, for grouping them a proposal which had been made last year without success. The noble lord's project is this, that, without any reason which I can understand, your lordships aro called upon to partially disfranchise every borough having a population below 12,000. This I amendment goes further in the way of disfranchise- inept than any bill which has ever boon laid before Par liament, fur none of these have ever proposed to raise tho line of partial disfranchisement so high as boroughs with a population of 12,000. What has happened this year ? Her Majesty's Government propose to fix the limit of partial disfranchisement at 7,000, but the House of Com mons, by an amendment moved on tho Liberal side, fixed the limit at 10,000. I have, therefore, the precedent of former measures of Reform, the authority of noble lords opposite, and the sanctien of the House of Commons this year for saying that 10,000 is a fair and sufficient basis to take as the limit below which a borough shall not return more than one member. It would certainly, I think, require a strong case to convince your lordships that you ought to go further in the way of disfrahchisement than the House of Commons. The noble earl proposes to do so in order to adopt a principle entirely unknown to the Con stitution and entirely novel, except in so far as it was introduced on a limited scale the other evening by the motion of my noble and learned friend (Lord Cairns)- that of extending all over the country the representa tion of minorities by the creation of a large number of throe-cornered constituencies. If I had been present the other evening I should have had great difficulty in ac ceding to the proposition of my noble and learned friend. It may, however, be safely adopted on a small scale as an experiment, but extended over the whole or a largo por tion of the constituencies, I say nothing could be more opposed to the constitution of the country, or could work more partially and unequally, than the representation of minorities carried out through three-cornered con stituencies. The noble lord asks us on the Ist of August to consider a scheme of partial disfranchisement and of enfranchisement, the details of which he has not , matured. He sees the difficulties of the task ; he admits that ho has not sufficient information, but he asks Par liament and he invites the Government to take up his crude and undigested scheme, to make sense of that which is nonsense -(oh, oh) -at all events, which is no scheme at all,,for it - does not give the slightest sketch of a plan which could be carried into effect as it stands. If such a proposition had come from the Government, it would have been justly scouted ; and it passes my comprehension how any noble earl could have thought that he should bo able to induce your lordships to send to the House of Com mons in the first or second week of August a new and un tried scheme for the redistribution of seats. If the noble lord had brought forward this proposition three months ago, I might have said that it was a very fair subject for the house to take into its consideration, and I might have asked for an adjournment in order to enable the noble earl to lay before Parliament the details of his scheme. But when at this period of the session and this stage of the bill he brings forward this proposition, I can only say that it can only have one effect, that of throwing everything into confusion, and of putting an end to' all that has hitherto been dono towards the settlement of a very difficult ques tion ; and 1 do not hesitate to say that if so crude an amendment as that of the noble earl be carried, it will be my duty to move that progress be reported, in order that I may consult with my colleagues as to the course which we shall adopt. (Murmurs.) I cannot undertake on the part of the Government to accept an amendment which unsettles everything and settles nothing. (Cheers.) After is few words from Lord HARROWB; strongly sup porting Lord Grey's amendment, The Duke of ARGYLL said that the last remarks of ' Lord Derby had placed the 'louse of Lords in a most diffi ' cult and delicate position. Yet he trusted and was sure that their lordships would not swerve from their duty. 1 They could not be expected to remain silent when the pro visions of abill like this were before them, and a bill like this they could never expect to have at an earlier period of the session than they had it now. It was wrong, therefore, for Lord Derby to give utterance to what was Virtually a --.—. threat when he said he would give up the bill altogether THE ANDAMANESE.—The Madras Times has an if their lordships ventured to express an opinion on the very matter which was brought b e f ore th em f o r de account of the expedition of the Arracan, under command . mum.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) BILL. In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE, The CHANCELLOR of tho EXCHEQUER said he pro posed to proceed with the bill on Tuesday morning next. PARKS REGULATION BILL. In reply to Mr. OTWAY, Mr. HARDY said it certainly was his intention to pro ceed with this bill at the earliest opportunity that presented itself. (Hear, hear.) THE LODGER FRANCHISE. Mr. M. TORRENS gave notice that on an early day he should bring forward a motion to the effect that that House saw no reason for altering a decision it had unani mously arrived at --namely, at fixing the lodger qualifica tion at £lO. (Hear, hear.) IRISH RAILWAYS. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. MONSELL brought the condition of the Irish railways under the consideration of the house, and asked whether her Majesty's Government intend to propose any measure for the consolidation of the Irish railway system ? Lord NAAS, in reply, said at the present period it was I impossible for the Government to take any steps in the I matter without further information being in their pos- session. Mr. LANYON expressed his approval of the course pro posed to be taken by the Government; while Mr. J. B. Smith protested beforehand against the purchase of the Irish railways, and Mr. Horsfall and Mr. Leveson-Gower doubted whether Government purchase would bo advan tageous to the Irish railways, and defended the Commis- sion. Mr. LAING remarked that the question could not be decided on the principles which were applicable to Eng lish railways, and that it was hardly worth while to move at all except to do something considerable and important. If by Government purchase the fares could bo brought down to somewhere about the Belgian level-Tlooking at the political and social circumstances of Ireland—it might be worth while to throw political economy for once to the winds. The Government must guard against buying . the railways at too high a rate ; and if this were done, looking at the figures, he believed that the tariff might bo reduced without any great loss. Sir F. lleygate, Mr. Childers, Mr. M‘Laren, and Mr. Henley made some observations, and Mr. GLADSTONE, whatever might be the decision as to the purchase of the 'dell railways, deprecated decidedly their managemeet by the Government, but thought there weal be no difficulty in providing for their independent management. He agreed with Mr. Leing that it was not worth while to make a 4mall experiment mn-ely, but did not think with him that there was no risk of loss, and after expressing a strong opinion that there was no more efficacious mode of benefiting all c lasses of the population than to facilitate the means of communication, he urged the Government to sift to t he bottom the figures whie would show how far a decrease in the fares would lead to an increase of traffic. Mr. GRAVES drew attention to the restrictions on the importation of foreign cattle into Liverpool, drawing il fro wasm Lord R. Montagu the rep l y that the Privy Counc anxious to make every relaxation consistent with.the ex clusion of the cattle plague. Mr. COWPER moved an address fora roundon t o inquire into the best mode of classifying exhibiting in our different museums the national art collections. After a lengthened argument from Mr. B. Hors in favour of creating a separate Art Department which should take charge of all the national collections , Lord J. MANNERS replied that there was no necessity for further inquiries, for within the last few years there had been no less than 11 commissions or committees on our museums, which had collected sufficient information to enable the Government to act on their own responsibility, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he reminded the house, had promised to bring in a bill next session. Mr. Cowper withdrew his motion ; and Mr. Taylor brought under the notice of the house the recent decision of a Cornish magistrate sentencing six persons to three weeks' imprisonment for trespassing off a path through a wood, and the legality of the sentence was called in ques tion by Mr. S. Lefevre and Sir R. P. Collier. Mr. KENDALL and Mr. HENLEY defended the conduct of the owner of the wood and of the magistrates ; and Mr. G. HARDY explained that the Home-office had no jurisdiction in the matter, and pointed out that if there was any illegality in the sentence the proper course was to take it before the superior courts. The House then went into C ommittee of Supply, andon the Packet Soivice Vote, Mr. CRAWFORD called attention to that part of the report of the Committee on the East India Communica tions which refers to the postal services with India, China, and Australia, complaining that the Government had not complied with its recommendations, and animadverted strongly on a presumed intention to give the India Mail contract to the Messageries Imperiales. Mr. HUNT defended the course taken by the Treasury, contending that they had carried out the spirit of the Committee's recommendations, and had kept ho consider ation of economy steadily in view. This discussion, which turned chiefly on the inexpedi ency—both in a political and economical point of view — of encouraging a foreign line of steamers at the expense of the Peninsular an d Oriental Company, which was repre sented to have perform ed such important publ without frores and on the objections to as makintinuedng c ontractsChilders, sanc tion of Parliament, wco Mr. Samuda, Mr. Laing, Mr. Ayrtoll, Mr. Gladstone, and others ; and, after a sharp controversy between Mr. J.

Kelly (Lord Ch ief Baron the Exchequer), who has and when the first of the taken the North W a les C grand jury answae th:. suirnmons, his lordship, address ing him, said he exc.ee mg y regretted that it was not in power, on this his first occasion of visiting the county, litoiseitend to him and his brethren the ordinary hospitality of inviting them to dinner. The reason was simply that the high sheriff had boon unable to supply a suitable lipuse wherein to lodge her Majesty's justices of assize. He cer tainly should have considered it his duty to fine the high sheriff, but he was bound to say that it seemed to him that he had furnished a sufficient explanation of the posi tion in which he had been placed; but if it should again occur that this rich and prosperous county of Carnarvon, with some 70,000 or 80,000 inhabitants, was unable to adopt proper measures to yield that accommodation to her Majesty's representatives on these important occasions, to which by the law of the land they were entitled, he knew not what course would be pursued, excepting that her Majesty would be compelled to remove the assizes from the county, the authorities having fails I to pay her r epre- in, sen t a ti v es respect. lie had spoken thu s with groat pa but it was on account of the honour due to the office which, ho held that ho considered it his duty to make some re marks upon the fact that the judge of assize in this county had been obliged to resort to a public hotel.
