EVENING EDITION. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe ) We find that sort of satisfaction i the rru3_l of the Report of Congress by the Committee of Fee c'en Affairs —which arises from the impossibility that a cit irzed end et:lightened community should rush into war on such a cause. Otherwise we should have been apt to read it with very melancholy rcflectione. Tuis, then, is the sort of language whiela men, responsible to no power but opinion, feel irresponsible enough to set before the eyes of their fellow-ei ii.eus ! It is said that the Report was passed by the partisans of the defeated party, merely with a view to embarrass their successors I There are too many prece dents in our own history for this sort sf dishonest tactics to permit us to feel or affect 'retch surprise at any offspring of political profligacy. Certainly, however, this bantling is not a little one—.sot susceptible of extenuation by di minutive epithets, like the small six-pounder, which the Committee admit as part of the bsggege of one of the Caroline's passengers. It is surprising the Committee should fleecy they can invoke with consistency the rights of eeutrale, and the rights of non-neutrals—the right et having from us peaceful treatment, while making upon us pi,enical warfare. This blowing hot and cold with one bieeth pervades the report. In one sentence we are tell their citizens could not be expected to distinguish between one portion of British subjects and another; aid it is the tacit inferertee that therefore they hal a right to astiit ono portion in fighting the other, and to maintain warlike occupation of an island "nominally" in the Bri tish dominions I Now the same sauce that is mood for the go o se i s goo d f or t h e galdcr. If the fact," that portion sf British subjsete was ready to receive the assistance of American citizens in committing arson and rebbeey on their fellow subjects., is suffi cient to justify those citizens, who could not, it seems, be expected to distinguish whether they ought to fraternise with peaceful neighbours, or with rebels in arm!, if this fact is sufficient to justify the American sympatbi-ers in taking possession of the territco y. and fl leg upon toe flag of England—then a lake difficulty of discrimination jus tified our reprisals. You cannot eat your cake and have it tea; you were either neutrals—and neutrality has itsdu tic as arell as its rights; or elee you failed in neutrality from en incapacity for nice distinctions ! It is but equitable, surely, to excuse the like dulness on our parr. Indeed, it was the more difficult for us to distinguish between the neutral and non-neutral territory, and citizens of the States, as all the local resotrees of that territory, and all that we saw of those citizens, appeared to be entirely at the service of our assailants. (From the Standard.) We do not complain that Lord Melbourne offered no explanatory reply to Lord Mountcasbell's question upon the report of the foreign policy committee ef the United States Representative Assembly. Silence was probably as much his Lordship's duty as it was the duty of Lord Mountcashell to show that, though our G esnment are prudently silent, the people of Eng'and of al ranks and parti .5 have their eyes intently fixe 1 upon the subjecn The fate of Mr. Mt Leod ievelves the honour of the Britiie empire and the future safety of British subjects in all parts of the world. If our Govern ment yield now one heir's breadth, no Englishman's life will be safe anywhere, one hour of er he shall quit the dominions of his Sovereign. Whenever a-iy nation shall have a desire to bully us without incurring the dan ger of ear, it will be only necessary to entrap and mur eer an Englishman or two; and, alter we shall have sub mitted to the wrong and insult in Mr. M‘Leod's case, how can we resent any one doing so ? We have lately been reading Lord Jocelyn's delightful sketch of the Chinese campaign—as spit ited, graphic, aid unpretending a little volume as ever came into our hands; and we have been forcibly struck Kith the fact that the United States' mode of adjusting a national dispute and vindicat ing Americae honour—very American honour—is pre cisely the same resorted to by the tricky and cowardly Chinese. Seize an unprotected individual—it is nothing to the purpose that he had taken no part against his captors, or that the avowed orders of his own recognised Government acquit him of all personal responsibility—seize him, murder him, and his blood is a salve for the wounded honour of the country. That the indignation of this country is fe •menting strongly under the insult offered by the Republicans of North America, it is not our duty to conceal ; but we have still a hope in the better sense of the pelt body cf the Representative Assembly, and of the now Government, that war may be for the present avoided ; but neither now nor hereafter will the chances of war bo diminished by a truckling conduct oa the part of the British Ministers. This country has already borne quite enough from the States, and with what effect must be obvious to every one. Had an indemnity for the injuries sustained by our Canadian fellew-subjects from the pirate rabble of Buffalo, Schlosser, &c., been peremptorily insisted upon, we should hear no thing, now of the burning of the pirate vessel as a subject of complains. It is always dangerous to submit to a wrens, doer, for if you do not avenge the wrong upon him, he will avenge his consciousness of it upon you. (From the Courier.) The Chronicle this morning contains what, from the quality of the internal evideuce, may be assumed to be the Downing-street view of the Report on Foreign Affairs laid before Congress and published in the Courier ester day. It is a clear and decisive, but temperate resume of circumstances and principles involved in the reline affair, and, we have no doubt, on collation her,- after, when the occasion is presented, wilt be found al most a fac simile impression in its main features, if not hi form cf words, of those deapatches of Lord Palme-- ston to Mr. Fox, and of the notes of Mr. Fox to the American Seer e'ary, by which the whole responsibility of ales act of the Caroline's destruction was accepted on ac count of the B itish Government and people. We repeat qanpi atically the " British Government aad people ;" for get this head there must, as there can be, no mistake, and te is insprrtaut to be published through the aad br' a Ith of the civilised world ; for the sake of Upper Caned*, which so gallantly vindicated her loyal adhe rence t the parent country in tha most critical times, at groat odd , , at all hazards, and at the cost of her lest blood and treasure; Er the sake also of tee conti nuance of peace and fri ,ndship with the United States, the couple of which might otherwise be grossly be treyed into the grievous error of mistaking the single note creakinga of Mr. Joseph Hume for the voice of the people of &glees!. We should hope that the indignant and universal reprobation, here and in Canada, of his pernicious and treasonable counsel to the latter to cast off the "baneful domination of the mother country," would have taught the people of the United States that Eng'and and her colonies ore one and indivisible in effectlons as in interest, and th,t nei her people nor Government here a e so peace-at-any price infatuated, as basely to surrender the cause r f those more ci tent porei ins cf the common empire which have butte el from the wanton aggressions, aid ale yet exposed to the rapacity and amLition of the ceizens of a State with out a head, or of a host of petty State tyrants who arb tiara. / domineer over the feeesal throne. RAILWAYS. ( From the Liverpool Times.) LIVERPOOL AND MANCRESTER RAILWAY.—WC have to retort." another instance of the enforcement of that useful provision of Vie Act of last Session, " for the regulation of Railways," which imposes any penalty not exceeding 101.. upon any aery tot of a railway company who is guilty of negligence or rnisemduct. A servant of the L'verpool and Manchester Railway Company was yes tei-day b ought before Charles Bi-c:', Esq., one cf our County Magistrates, charged with having neg'ected t tarn in the proper direction ce tun points or switches, enacting the Liverp oo l an d M anc hester and Grand j oe uiction li nes at Newton. The man ' s name was J o h n Bate, and b e was f i ned 3/, and costs; but as he pleade d guilty, the pariculsrs of the case were not gone into. It was stated in the room, how hie post instead of b b eis ever, that Bata was aoeep at was his duty. w e the watch for the is, as peated appeals, by se, different much pleasute these e dies placed within their power by companies, to the reme. the Legislature for the protection of the public agaiusl e recurrence cf cvi's which. from t sew very nature, arebeyond the cintrol of the Directors. And we have no hosis i tio n in expressing t he D ire c tors. conviction thee, as gas the Railway Companies exert themselves as much and as succesifull as they have heretofore done for the Prot:e ion of Y it would be unreasonable, and, i n a passen gers, pue.ie reset of view, most irnpolit'e, for the Legislature to intetfe e with or attempt t transfer to any Government Board the powers and responsibilities with which the Companies are at pre, Suit charged. OPENING 0? THE m AN cligsTgli AND LEEDS RAILWA Y THROUGHOUT.—NOVEL RAILWAY C A RRIAGE.—The Sim_ rin snit Tunnel, the only portion of this Railway which _ tnained unopenei, tat ing completed, this line was opened throughout on Monday morning last, when the D irectors and their friends, and a few o f the print--1 pal shareholders, stared in a special train from the Manchester station in Oldham-road. The train con ei,t2d of two carriages, both being of an entirely new con struction, but somewhat different from each other. The body of one of them is about 18 feet by 7, and is 6 feat inches high. There is a compartment in the centre seven feet square, and it is built after the fashion of a'gon dan. The interior of this compartment is flee! up with %Undid mahogany sofas, limed with crimson plush, and teieiteol with silk gymp, and the top part above the sofa boxes is composed cf plate glass with silk curtains. The two cod compartment s aro open a b ove ; b ut a curta i n ma d e aof waterproof fabric can be drawn down at pleasura to screen the passengers from the rain, so that in these carriages a person may enjoy all the comforts of a first class carriage, and, at the same time, be enabled to survey the country through which b e is passing. The other carriage, the Touri t, is similar in its general a..rangemcws, but is fitt e d up differently. Theiec.r lieges, which were made by Mr. 'Melling of Green he,s, are adapted for summe r travelling% there are but two of them, and they are merely tor an eire rimeot. The fares in them will, we understand, l'be the same as in the first class carriages. The train proceeded rapidly; the average ?peed maintained, exclusive of stoppages, which were very fie quent , be , t,gs thirty miles an hour. At the Summit Tunnel Viey were jciacd by a band of music. The regular pass enger and goods trains commenced running on Monday morn kngt ani several trains passed thiough the tunnel before tne spccial train which conveyed the directors and their friends...-Leeds Me curl. MiloteuEsTsa AND LEEDS RAILWAY CONIPANY. —The half -yearly meeting was bad on Wednesday in Manchester, and was very numerously attended. From e the reportPa*l there appea l ed a n ex c ess of expenditure over capital to the amount o f .572,000 i, and the total new requir e d i s 3 , 172 , 0001 .

The arrivals have been trivial sines this day week. The arrivals this year differ little from those of last. To-day the market presented an increased dulness, neither grocers or refiners scarcely waking an inquiry, and prices are little better than nominal, the merchants are, however, not dis posed to submit to that decline which has taken place for Bengal. REF:NI:D.—For all descriptions of Refined Goods prices have further given way Is per cwt. Standard Lumps at 933 6(1 to 945, Tittlers and Hambro Loaves fine 99s to 102 s, good Ms to 975, ord 93s to 91, brown Lumps 903 to 92s per cwt. Treacle of common quality has declined to 32s to 335. Patent has produced 365, best old make 395, and Golden Syrup 40s per cwt. Bastards have further given way. Pieces common sorts are rather lower. Eonded Crushed Sugar has been in good request, and 32s 6d paid for first quality ; there are large buyers at 32s 3d per cwt. Loaves 141bs 36s to 36s 6d, 10 lbs 37s to 38s, and 6 lbs 40s 6d to 41s. For Treacle 14s 6d to 14s 9d per cwt. Bastards at 15s to 19s, and Pieces at 20s to 255. Dutch Crushed Sugar a fair busi ness has been clone on board at 31s. To-day the transactions in Refined goods were extremely limited for home use, and prices further gave way, 93s is the nearest quotation for standard lumps. Treacle is cheaper, and the demand dull; sales of common made at 3ls, and 30s is the highest quotation fur the best sort. Bastards and Pieces ne glected. Bonded Crushed Sugar in good demand at 32s 3d to 32s 6d per cwt. Mao RITI us. —lmporters having again supplied the market freely, have farther depressed prices Is to 2s per cwt; fine yellow at 77s to 80s, middling to good 70s to 765, low 67s 6d to 695, low and middling brown 49s to 555, dabs 45s to 47s per cwt. EA ST INDIA. —This afternoon the bidding: were languid at a public sale of 6,240 bags white Bengal, not above halt f oun d buyers, and prices further gave way 2s to 3s per c w t ; goo d mid and good white went at 71s to 735, mid 68s to 70s, low mid clingy 66s 6d, damps and washed 66s to 713 per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day the market was firm for all descriptions, and there were buyers of large parcels of yellow Havannah for export at 24s for good middling quality, but holders refusing to sell under 24s 6d, prevented purchases of moment. For some small parcels of brown and white Brazil, stiffer rates were given. llloLAssEs.—The demand has been limiled for West India, but the supply being rather small prevents prices from mate rially going down, the trifling parcels disposed of by private treaty have however been rather under former rates. At auc tion 83 hhds 45 tree Porto Rico were all bought in at 12s to I3s, and 28 casks Maui itius Sugar and Molasses at 44s per cwt. COFFEE.—For clean descriptions of West India there has been rather more demand, and former rates have been sup ported, still the transactions privately have been only to a limited extent. This afternoon the public sales attracted a good attend ance of the trade, but they did not evince much desire topur chase, and prices gave way for most descriptions, the quan tity offered being large ; 4,799 bags J ava f rom Singapore, 711 bags do. from the Cape, 4,389 ba gs L aguayra , 56 casks St. Jago de Cuba, 896 bags of Ceylon, 803 various sorts of East India, and 684 bales Mocha were offered ; Java from Singapore was all taken in at 52s for good ordinary pale, being above what the trade were disposed to pay ; De Cuba from the Cape went rather lower, mid and good sold at 80s to 95s ; Ceylon sold cheaper, ordinary 67s good ordinary 68s to 69s 6d, fine ordinary green 72s 6d, one lot Pea Berry 98s 6d; the sound of the Laguayra was all taken in at lower rates, viz. good ordinary green at 45s to 48s, the damaged sold cheap, viz., at 36s 6d to 44s ; Padang went rather under former rates, good ordinary mixed sold at 37s to 38s, fine ordinary 395. Mocha was nearly bought in at easier rates, viz., good fair brown at I'2 5 P 3 201 26 245 273,4 '750 200 734 210 550 a% 325 11:4 650 280 396 100 s, good green 112 s (id to 115 s. East India was only partly disposed of at 48s for good ordinary Batavia ; the above sales establish a decline on former rates of 2s to 3s per cwt, with the exception of Ceylon, which nearly brought former rates. COCOA.—For British Plantation holders have submitted t a reduction on former rates of is to 3s. Trinidad low mid dling to good red at 50s 6d to 55s 6d, mid to good grey 47s 6d to 50s, ord and very ord 35s 6d to 44s per cwt. Of Foreign there is abetter supply ; prices have been supported.

Common Congou for cash has been disposed of currently at Is 7, 1 4 d to is 71(1 per lb. Green sorts have produced previous rates, and the purchases made have been to a fair extent : sales of common Twankay for cash have been made at Is bid to is 6d per lb. At public sale on Friday 2,200 pkgs Tea were principally sold at the former currency. The speculative mar ket has however become quiet, and Company's Congou has de clined to is 7d cash. The deliveries of Tea for home con sumption during the past week have amounted to 465,000 lbs. The non-arrival of the Overland Mail, together with the public sales declared for Thursday, caused the demand for Free Trade Tea to-day to be limited, and some parties were more disposed to sell; sales of common Congou for cash were made at Is bid to Is 7d. The speculative market was dull. Com pany's Congou, Is 64d to Is 7d cash. I - Um—Bengal at 12s 9d to 13s for low and middling white, at auction 350 sacks went at 13s fer middling white.

In East India nothing has been done, and Calcutta proof strength is offered at Is 6d. Mauritius has declined to 2s 2d for 3 per cent. over proof, at which rate GO hints have been sold, being 3d under the sales made two months back. The stock of For ign Rum consists of 900 puns, and of East India 800 puns and 1,500 hhds.

The Secretary also acknowledged the very liberal bequest of 2001., made by the late Mr. Whittingham, of Chiswick, which enabled the Committee to propose to the subscribers the creation ( f a new pension of 71. per annum, to be entitled the Whi tingham pension, and given on etch occasion to the c endidate who polls the highest number of votes without gaining his election.

TI e Earl of Snarrasnuov (in the absei.c • of the Lord Chancellor) took his seat upon the Wcolsack et Five t'Cleek. Lord K F,N YON preserted rte petitions from various ~laces against any furihor grant to the C diege, rf AI,;- tooth; 1.0 tFo p!.taions, praying f)r the t0,,e.1 of he Cathchc Emancipation Act; also two petitions against the Tithe Ac', which the petiti oners were o f op i n i on had fsi'ed in producing tl:e effects anticipated from it; also a acition against any additional power being con ferred on the Poor-law Commissioners—against the Poor -Itw Act being coattnued for ten years, and praying that additional power might be given to the Board of Guar dians; also a petition from Bangor against any division of the reve.tues of the sinecure rectories; and one from the Dearvary of Ross against the conaclida.iag the two bishoprics of North Wales. Ho comideied it was most unjustifiable and c rue l t h at i t should be proposed, when these bishopticks had now subsisted be tween thirteen and fmrteen hundred years, to do away pith one of them, when the import trace of the continuing those bishopticks in Wales was admitted on all hands, and that treiely for the purpose of distributing 4,000/. a-year in Manchester and its neighbourhood. Nothing could be more cruel or disgusting than this diversion of toe profits of the sinecuie rretoies. Ho co r di a ll y concurred in the prayers of all the rentions.

CHL RCII OF SCOTLAND. The Earl of ABERDEEN wished to call the attention of the Government to a circumstance which had filled him with surprise, and which he willingly hoped had equally surprised the Noble Viscount with himself. He had not many days ago had occasion to direct their Lordship? at tention to the declaration made by the Noble Viscount at the opening of the Session with respect to the Church of Scotland. The Noble Viscount had said that it was not his intention to propose any alteration in the law on the subject; but he had also said, that he would take care to see that the law should be duly executed. He had received that communication in no captious or criticising spirit, but while he lamented the determination of the Noble Viscount, he had admitted that the Noble Viscount and his colleagues, being answ: rattle for the peace and good order of society in that country, were placed in a situation of considerable difficulty, but, at the same time, it was necessary that the Noble Viscount should bring the subordinate officers of the Go vernment to his opinion ; and that while he was stating his principles in one place they should not be permitted to contemn, to contradict, and to counteract them in another. Now the subject he was led to bring before the Noble Viscount's notice was this. A few years ago the Core tni.sioners appointed to examine the Universities of Scot land, reported in favour of the establishment of a Pro fessorship of Biblical Criticism, in the University of Edinburgh.—( Hear.) This recommendation, against which he (the Earl of Aberdeen) said nothing, for he had concurred in it himself, but it had been announced in every quarter that this professorship had been granted to the most active and persevering agitator that bad existed during the discussions cf the last three years, a Gentleman who had himself violated the law times out of number, and had stigmatized the judgment of the Court of Session in Scotland, and of that House, as being unholy, unchristian, and unjust, in every point of view. Now he (the Earl of Abeadeen) thought it could be easily proved that there was no recess ty to select the person upon whom this pro fessorship had been bestowed, since nobody cculd pretend that, whatever his qualifications might be on the platform, he was particularly celebrated as a scho lar in Scotland, whilst the present Principal of the University of Edinburgh, Dr. Lee, who was un questionably the most learned man in the Church of Scot. land, was, as he (the Earl of Aberdeen) understood, now delivering a course of Biblical catechism. Therefore it was not for war.t of a person skilled in Biblical theo logy that the present Professor was appointed. This gentleman had violently outraged the law, and the preferment seemed to be bestowed upon him as a reward for his contumacy._( Hear, hear, hear.) A depu tation from the party which was disposed to act in obedience to the law had waited upon the Noble Vis count, who received them with his usual blandness and courtesy, but gave them no hopes. They also waited upon him (Lord Aberdeen), and he advised them not to attempt to enforce the law, but to wait until some such measure as he proposed last year should be adopted by Parliament. (Hear, hear.) On that advice they acted for several month', but at last a case occurred in which a gentleman thought proper to appeal to the law. In the parish of Huntley, a church was built within 200 yards of the parish church, and the minister, Mr.—if he could call him the Rev. Mr.—Candlish, un tie' took to baptize, marry, and perform the other religious ceremonies which, according to law,appertain to the office of the parish minister. The clergyman of Huntley, who was a gentleman of the highest character, as would be testified by the Noble Duke (Richmond), who usually sat upon the cross benches if he were present„ served an interim order upon him, the Rev. Professes. of Biblical Criticism ; and if the law should be carried into full effect, the Professor would be sent to prepare th syllabus of his firit course of lectures in the city gaol. —( A laugh.) If those people who violate the law in such &rammer were t to rewarded, how was the deela ration. of the Noble Viscount to be believed in Scotland ? How were his declarations to be believed anywhere else ? ( Hear, hear.) The Noble Viscount and his colleagues had been frequently accused of yielding too much to a I scorned Member of the other House, and of giving office and patronage to pet sons who were opposed to them in opinion. Now ha would not say that he altogether oppressed of their conduct in that respect ; but he did not so much condemn them for bestowing favours upon the advocates of the Repeal of the Union, because these was no lam against the Re peal, but he did think they deserved condemnation for promoting persons who openly violated the taw. Lord MELBOURNE—What circumstance? Lard ABE RDEE N r —That a Profes;;;slip had been bes';,wed upon Mr. Candlish, who was at the time acting co:qv:try to law. Lord MELBOURNE said that if hi; Noble Friend had mentioned the circumstance to him terday, when he gave notice, his Noble Friend might Lave been save I the trouble of making such a very long speech.—( A laugh.) He (Lc rd Melbourne) had cer tainly stated that the Government did not think it necessary or expedient to introduce a new law on the subject of the Church of Scotland, but it was su perfluity and surplusage to aik any Government, and espe the present Government, whether they would pre '.:ect those who ohey ed the law.—( Very ire it laugh er. ) There had been no such appointment as his Noll.: Friend had alluded to, and therefore there was no occasion to vin dicate the Government from his accusation.—( Hear. ) The Marquis of NORMANBY said that if the Noble Earl had not taken the unusual course of tefusing to re ceive the information which was offered to him, that dis cussion would have been unnecessary. The fact was, that although on the tecommendation of the Committee her Ma jesty's Government were :Treed upon establishing a Pro fessorship of Biblical Criticism, the office had not yet been established, no: of course had any professor Leon installed In consequence of the recommendations in favour cf Mr. Candlish h( r 111,:jeAy's Government bad been die p6se.l to give lent the appointlicnr, and a corre spondence with that intent was carried on , but the moment they heard ilia he had placed hirmelf in op position to the law, they immediately put an end to all communication v.i:h I upon the subject. There was no difference of opinion among the Memln 1 . 3 of her Majesty's Government as to supporting those who oheyed the lass, and discouraging those who violated then,. So far were they from passing over the rrer;ts of Dr. Lee, that they had determined upon giving the vacant Deanery of the Ch a p e l R o y a l o f Edinburgh, in connection with his Principalship of the University, and they intended that this sinecure, which they could not very well abolish (thanks, perhaps, to Noble Lords opposite) should in future be held in connection with the superintendence of the College. After a few words from the Duke of ARGYLL, the conversation dropped. The Copyhold Enfranchisement Bill then went through Committee, and was ordered to be reported on Thursday.

On the motion cf Mr. MARK PHILLIPS the Man cheater and Leeds Railway Bill viai read a first time. SEVFtCN NAVIGATION BILL. Mr. a GORE moved, " - That it be an inst-uctlon to the Committee of Selection (it they sec fit), to refer the Severn Navigation Bill to a Select Commit ee." The Severn was a large river, nay . gable fur upwards of 200 miles, and therefore the Bill affecting its navi g ation ought not to be referred to a C omm i t tee selected exclusive ly from tee representatives of those iesiding on its banks. It was, Bill had last year be en th ro wn out on the secondin fact, a national question , a nd this ver y reading, on the ground that it was too important a measure to be referred to a merely kcal Committee. One portion of the river which was likely to be improved by this measure was in the county of Worcester. Now it would be hard to refer this question to the Worcestershire list, when Gloucestershire and Montgotnerysbire were op posed to it. It might be said that he might have named a Committee repr esen ti ng a ll t h e different interests, but thethat m w o a i s e impossible. prhdeat oa The d e h o e ur se w appealedhic to the justice ofh he proposed was the House to support him. Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY seconded t he motio n. Mr. LABOUCHERE was at all time s unwillin g to depart from th e r u les laid d own for t h e regulation of pri vate business, as it would lead to a recurre nce of the evils from which they had already suffered. If they did, Gen tlemen would come down to the House and carry such' measures from the more force of local interests. No dc parture from their rules ought to be suffered, unless a else ed were fully made out. He should a ct on the p resent occasion as he had duri n g the last Session o n the cecsio n of th e W e l s h R a il way Bills. He sh ould nut advise the House t o cons id er t h e ques tion then, but to devolve that duty upon the Committ ee for Private Bus iness, w here the st a t ements an d counter-state ments of the opponents and supporters of the Bill could be more f ull y consider ed s to than they cou ld b e i n t h e H o use.

GORE, in re-ly, said that the course proposed by the Right lion. Gentleman the President of the B , ard of Trade was quite as much a departure from the , rule 4 of the [Joust! as that which had been proposed by hims,:f. He had selected that Committee because it must neces sarily be impartial.

Mr. BA LD WIN presented a petition from the news paper proprietors of Exeter, complaining of the injury done to their property by the publication of the s.a:np re. turns, and praying that it may be discontinue I. Mr. T.

Mr. WARBURTON moved, pursuant to notice, that the evidence taken before the Committee on Petitions on Private Bills relative to the Stafford and Rugby Railway Bill, should be laid on the table and printed. Mr. LA BO UCH ERE said that the difficulty he felt about the question was this, whether the motion ought to be granted without special grounds were made In. it. As the Chairman of the Committee was not then in the House, he would suggest to the Hon. Member for Brid port the propriety of postponing his motion till he was present. _ _ - Mr. WARBURTON assented, and the motion was postponed. Lord MAHON gave notice that be would postpone the motion of which he had given notice yesterday, to Tuesday the 23d inst. Mr. EMERSON TENNENT gave notice that he would postpone all further proceedings on the Copyright Designs Bill to Wednesday the 24th of March. iOn the motion of Mr. GREENE that leave of :absence be granted to Mr. Ingham to go the circuit, a discussion arose as to the propriety of granting !ciao in such cases. Mr. GOULBURN said he .believed from time imme menial it had been found advisable and for the general in terest that lawyers should be excused from attendance. Mr. W. B. WRIGHTSON said there had been a clear understanding in the House that lawyers should not bo exempted from serving upon Committees. Mr. GOULBURN said that rule applied when they were empannelled end not otherwise. Mr. F. KELLY said that when the Bill of the Right Hon. Member for Tamworth was discussed the Attorney- General had been strongly against the exemption, and yet he was one of the first to ask leave for himself. Sir G. GRE Y said the Attorney-General had leave of absence under special circumstances.—( Hear, hear.) He !Wed to the Reuse that he had to attend the Government prosecution- at Meemosith, and was f xeiee eely ter a lenited period, to order that the pulls! :e, vice teht ont he interfered wits.—( Hear, hear.) He (Sir G. Grey) thought that leave of absence ought to be granted in the present instance. The leave of absence wa; then given. Colonel PAGET then moved for leave of absence to Mr. W. 0. Stanley until after Easter, on tri•gent private business. Mr. WARBURTON hoped that this granting of leave of absence when the duties of Members on Election Com mittees were very light, would not be drawn into a pre cedent during a Session when it might be heavy. He did not see why indulgence should be granted to lateyers any more than to merchants or Magistrates. Sir ROBERT PEEL observed that what be had at ited on a former cceasion, with iegard to the lawyers, was that if they thought the performance of the duties in that House was onerous, and there being no legal obligation to compel them to serve in Parliament; he thought they ought not to be made au ex ce p t i on , as j ust i ce wou ld net be done to other Members, by inflicting on them duties which the lawyers cught to take a fair share of.— ( Hear, hear.) The fart was, that in former times a lawyer was never to be seen in the House when in election Committee was to be balloted for—they always avoided being called upon to serve, by taking care not to be in the House when it was called over --(Hear, and laughter.) It was difficult to lav down aey precise rule on the subject. He thought it would - be bad, having given permission in some CASC, , , to refuse to extend a similar privilege to others, espe cially when there we. e only three or four election petitions ef e the House. At the commencemeat of a new Session, hoe ever, when there might be a great number of pe Hone, he thought the House ought to be more strict. Lord HOWICK observed that the ease before the House was not that of a lawyer, and it was not stated what the nature of the duties was which called the Hon. Mem ber away. Mr. PRINGLE deprecated these continual applica tions for leave of absence, and unless softie cot cause was shown for the motion in the present instance, he should not hesitate to divide the House upon it. STANLEYLcrd happened unfortunately to be in the Panel, No. 3, and be was going down to the Assizes on tl.e 2J of March, but it was his intention to return to perform his duties in that House. He thought they ought to bate the assurance of the Gentleman who made the meti in, that the private business; was so urgent and inn portant that it could not be dispensed with, and tha• it did not admit of being done at any other period. They all knew that urgent and important, generally speaking, meant nothing at all. He was unwilling to do any thing that might appear uncoutt-ous, but he thought the House ought to be satisfied that the motion was made bona fide. Mr. E. J. STANLEY trusted the Hon. and Gallant Member would withdraw the motion and renew it at an other oppur.unity. Colour 1 PAGET did not feel himself justifiel in with drawingthemotion, Mr. PRINGLE would not heiitate to divide the House if ivitficient reason was not shown for the motion being made. The motion was agreed to without a division. Mr. FRESIIFIELD said he wished to ask the Chan cellor of the Exchequrr, whether, since the commence ment of the present Session, any Government agent has been employed to make arrangements at Dartmouth, with a view to the conduct of the West India Mail Sen. vice in that port ?—Whether it is intended that the ex pense consequent upon the adaptation of that port to the service in question, or to be incurred in the conduct of the service, shall be borne by the Royal Mail Steam Com pany, or by the public? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it did riot strike him as a case of very greit importance. He had no objection to tell the Hon. Member that the Commissioney, who had been appointed to see the de. cisions of the Treasury carried into effect, had rec-nn mended, on the 4th of January last, that an officer should be sent down to Dartmouth for that purpose. Au officer was accordingly sent down on the sth of that month to make the necessary inquiries. With regard to the pay. meat, that part of the expense which was defrayed by the Government at Falmouth would be defrayed at Dart mouth. Mr. GOULBUR.N wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention, on the House going into Committee on Ways and Means t ;-morrow, to make any st a t ement relative to the state of our financial affairs. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was not his intention. CASE OF MR. T. REEVES. Mr. KELLY, in moving to refer the petition of Thomas Reeves (presented on the 4th February) to a Select Com mittee said, that in the year 1835 Mr. Reeves had re ired after 22 years' service as a surveyor of taxes, and it was a matter pf importance to know what pension he was entitled to.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He would state, and he had no doubt he would be corro borated by the Gentlemen connected with the Treasury, that there was nothing against the character of Mr. Reeves to disqualify him for the allowance he was entitled to under any Act of Parliament. On the contrary, he had per. ~14i1 1,11.

The reason given f she de luction was this was a ad that Mr. Reeves had, by contributing to a ce ten fund, celieei a Superemiustion Fund, entitled tiara If to a very coteasiereale amuui.t of retiring perai tie acid 'tra it was the custom of the Treasury when a party had coati ibuted money for such a purpose, although he did so out cf his own earnings, to hold him diseatir led to the fell amount to ehich he would otherwise hava b- en revelled unaer the Act of ParLarnent; on this ground the pension was reduced to 1;4/. Considering that for a great numt of years, eertrin extra dutes had brew imposed upon Mr. Reeves, which though he might fair), aed leeeila have reused t erforrn teem, he had aischarged mite rhe greatest sal genet., he thought he might have le- en fairly had I entiiled, under another clause of the Act of ment, to some additional allowance ; at all events, hie re tirrrg income should n , t have been reduced from 45/. to 241. It appeared by the petition of Mr. Reeves the he claim4d a re taing pension of 6-12ths under the Act of Parliament, not merely in relation to h . s salary but in relation to the emoluments of his office, amounting to twice the amount of his salary. The Treasury rejected the claim altogether, on the ground that the per centages were not emoluments within the legal meatang of the Act of Par liament which regulated those pensions. if the Coveter merit were right in that opinion, he admitted Mr. Reeves had no clai n. But if it should appear, as he would venture to say he should be stale to make it appear, that 'h -r leiter heal b-es ae;t.en arse et eeesulang :he Law Otllella ot .he eart tie it h t:1,1 Ue...) consulted r, trey musi, have &Neu a sa.ffeeerit opinion, tie .bought he should not appeal in vain when he asserted that the case must undergo reconsideration, and be submitted either to a Committee or the Law Offic. re of the Crown. The Act of Parliament which regulated the superannuation allowances was the 4th and 5 , h if William IV., chap. 24, and the case of Mr. Reeves came within the provisions of the 9th section of that Ac'. He would read to the House the answer Mr. Reeves had received, after some correspondence with the Government, and many applications, and, as Mr. Reeves hoped, after much serious consideration of his case by the Government. The letter was dated June 16, 1837, from the Board of Stamps and Taxes, and set forth fully the grounds on which the pension was granted and limited. (The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then read the lever.) It appeared to him that the simple question was, whetter r the Board was right in saying that the per eerie tage came under the head of emoluments or not. It appearei to him c'e,r that the Board had proceeded upon an erroneous view of the case. The Government taxed him upon his commission not for his salary only, but for his salary and emoluments. So also under the in come tax, he was charged not for his salary alone, but also for his emoluments. Now, he would defy any lawyer to say that a strict construction was to be put upon an Act of Parliament when against a party, and otherwise when in his favour. He would say but one word more with re gard to the law of the ease. He could assure Hon. Gen tlemen he would not have spoken at such length if he did not feel that the case was that of a very deserving man, of whom he begged to sate he had no personal knowledge whatever, nor di i he come from that part of the country which he (Mr. Kelly) was acquainted with; he had been merely recommended to him by a gentleman who knew of the hardship of his case. The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman here proceeded to read the opinion of Sir William Follett, which hid been given in favour of Mr. Reeves's case, and concluded by saying, if the question wer re ferred to a Committee, he could prove every statement which was made in the petition. Mr. PARKER said that the Government acted in this case according to what had invariably been the practice of the Treasury ; and, in support of this statement, read ex tracts from a correspondence which took place between the Board of Taxes and the Treasury in July, 1812. In that correspondence the Board of Taxes stated that a sur veyor's salary amounted to 90/. a year ; to which there was an additional salary of 201. also yearly ; and the Board aished to know from the Lords of the Treasury whether the superannuation pension should be extended to the latter portion of the salary. It appeared from the Treasury minutes that the Lords of the Treasury were of opinion that the superannuation pension ought to be ea tended to the salary of ninety pounds, but that the smaller salary should be excluded. That cor respondence showed that the point had before arisen; and that the superannuation allowance was settled on the permanent salary of 90/., and that it did not in clude those sums of poundage and per tentage which his Hon. Friend sought to have admitted into the present al lowance. Since that period the practice had uniformly been to allow the pension on the permanent salary only. Mr. Reeves entered the public service in 1813 or 1814, and he could not therefore say that he was injured by a rule which had been subsequently introduced. The prac tice of the Treasury was now as he found it when he en tered upon the office ; and he had no right therefore to complain. In denying the claims of Mr. Reeves, he begged it to be understood that tire Government cast no impute.- tams upon hire, he might have suffered a grievr net; but (Ada ue'rr errbject to that s hit h ether pub lic s:rve.r. vaa. 9•te course fee Treasury hsu pursued in this case, they were only following what ; had been adopted for the last twelve years. Lord TEIGNMOUTH supported the motion. The ground that had been taken by the Hon. Gentleman who had just sa-. down, was quite different to that taken by his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer last year. The present Surveyors of Taxes had been placed upon the same footing that they wished Mr. Reeves to be placed upon; and he trusted, therefore, that his Right Hon. Friend would reconsider the case, and accede to the motion. Mr. SANFORD thought Mr. Reeves had not been treated with that justice which he deserved. Mr. Reeves had, when in office, 3001. a year, and he was not at the present moment, with his superannuation allowance, in the receipt of more than 30/. a ear. Mr. F. BARING said the question had been three times before the House, and in each case the House had come to the same decision. There was no doubt that if they had consulted the Law Officers of the Crown upon this matter, they might have construed those emoluments as emoluments under the Act. But he contended that the Treasury had always had entire discretion in those cases to make whatever general rules they thought proper. Ir was not an ordinary case of superannuation, and not being included in the Act, the Treasury might, if they pleased, have refused to grant a pension. Mr. HUME :aid that he had some years since strongly condemned the vexatious sysrcm of emoluments, by Thiel) the officers ore re enabled to raise their salaries from 100/. to 2001. or 3001. a year. He represented it to the House as an oppressive system, and he beiievel it was partly in censequence of that that the system was put an end to. It clearly appeared from the precedents which had bean cited that there was not the least necessity for any further inquiry. Mr KELLY would detain the Huse for a single mo ment to correct an error into which the Hon. Gentleman had fallen. This question had been treated as if under the terms of the Act of Parliament the Government had the discretion either to grant an-allowance or to withhold it. He denied that any such discretion - was vested i i the Go vernment under the Act of Parliament. There was a discretion as to the sum, but none as to whether an al lowance should be granted. The individual was just as much entitled to an allowance as any Hon. Gentleman was entitled to the rents of his own estate. He had heard that statement with this greatest aotonithment, and he truster that the House would not be induced to alnction it. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared-- For the motion Against it Majority , , 27 38 ....... •••••• -11 On the motion of Mr. HUME returns, under different heads, of the manner in which the several sums vet d for the insurrection in Canals, viz., in 1838, 500,0001. ; in 1839, 647,000/. ; ssrrd in 1840, 553,000/., amounting, in the three years to 1,700,000/., yew expendel.
