STAMPED sd. of a measure ougbt to be passed on this subject, but he could not introduce it until he had taken the opinion of his colleagues upon it. At the same time it was desirable that Mr. Graves should have leave to bring in his bill, as a thorough discussion of the question must facilitate 9. satis factory settlement. Ultimately leave wtts giren to bring in the bill, and it was read a first time. Mr. KNATCEIBULL-HUGESSEN obtained leave to bring in a bill to upend the law of turnpike trusts. Lord J. MANNERS introduced bills to make further provision for the enlargement of the National Gallery, and to authorise the Commissioners of Works to acquire cer tain lands in the neighbourhood of the Victoria Tower. Mr. TAYLOR moved an address to the Queen, praying for the removal of Mr. ()hurt:ll%yard from the commi.siou of the peace for Dover, supporting his motion by reading ex tracts from the reports of the Plymouth Election Committee of 1853, and the Mail Contract Committee of 1859, which charged Mr. Churchward with certain acts of bribery and corruption Major DICKSON characterised the attack on Mr. Church ward as wanton and cowardly (which last epithet he was compelled to withdraw), the result of political spite, as sisted by the personal animosity and spite of a discharged servant. He canvassed the reports quoted by Mr. Taylor, maintaining that a second report of the committee of 1853 had virtually exonerated Mr. Churchward, ,and that the report of the committee of 1859, impugning : his condUcb was against the evidence. For eight years Mr. 'Churchward had boon petitioning the house to be heard at the bar, and bad been attempting to get justice in the law courts, but he had- beou thwarted by the Government departments. Mr. Churchward had been seriously injured in his fortune by the vote of 1859, and he besought the house not to sacri fice his character for the sake of gaining a party triumph over the Government. Mr. BENTINCK asserted that Mr. Taylor would better have served the cause he professed to have at heart if, in stead of attacking an individuaf, he had put his motion in a general form; for it was notorious that there were many persons in similar, and even in higher places, who had been convicted of bribery, and he moved an amendment extending the prayer of the address to the removal of all magistrates who may have been reported guilty of corrupt practices by a committee or Royal commission. Mr. GLADSTONE, after lecturing Mr. Disraeli on the levity of his answer earlier in the evening, wont on to argue against the amendment, pointing out that the per sons it was aimed against stood in a different position from Mr. Churchward, who had not only been convicted by a oiNguittee,, but had been condemned by two separate votes of the house. Ile examined the evidence critically, draw ing from it the conclusion that the verdict of the committee was correct, and strongly condemned his appointment to the magistracy under such circumstances. It was no an swer to say that the Lord Chancellor did not know of these facts; when they were brought to his knowledge he ought to have acted as he would have done had he been forewarned. If Mr. Churchward wouldexpress his regret for the acts which had brought on him the condemnation of the house, he would advise the withdrawal of the mo tion, but at present his attitude challenged the verdict of the house. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he had always had Mr. Churchward to be a much injured man; and to prove this he narrated the circumstances of the contract, in the con clusion of which, as Secretary of the Treasury, he had had a considerable share. The verdict of the committee, be had always maintained, was unjust and inconsistent, for it acquitted the Treasury and the Admiralty, who made the contract, while it found Mr. Churchward, who received the contract, guilty, and as all Mr. Churchward's efforts to get his claim legally decided upon had failed, he had always felt he was entitled to claim some recognition of his influence. Mr. B. OSBORNE made some observations on his personal position in the matter, and, expressing a strong conviction that the Lord Chancellor had been imposed upon, he suggested that Mr. Churchward should withdraw from the bench, and this motion should be withdrawn. Mr. BARROW objected strongly to punishing a man a second timo as was now proposed. Sir R. PALMER, in an elaborate review of tho evidence, defended the finding of the Committee of 1859, and after some remarks from Mr. Freshfield, reprobating the injus tice with which Mr. Churchward had been treated, the original motion was negatived by 161 to 141. The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheers by the Ministerialists, and a scene of great excitement followed. On Mr. BENTISCK'S amendment being put as the substantive motion, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER begged the house to pause before assenting to so wide a proposition without an examination into any specific cases, and Mr. GLAD§TONE commented with great warmth of tone and manner on Mr. Disraeli's inconsistency, compared him to the engineer "hoist with his own petard," and stated that he should support the. resolution. After some observations from Mr. NEWDEGATE the amended resolu tion was agreed to without a division amid loud cheers from the Opposition. The other business was disposal of, and the house adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock. Polygamy in Utah. The amount of danger, in Mormon polygamy to the Government, has become a question of absorbing interest. The United States now stands face to face with an institution it is its clear duty to suppress, and the task is one so difficult that the nation may well pause to inquire how this can be best accom plished. By the laws a married man who takes to himself a second wife is guilty of bigamy, a criminal act, for which a punishment is decreed. Are these laws to be violated by the leading citizens of a ter ritory in the most open and flagrant manner, and the Government to look quietly on? Is the majesty of the law to be vindicated by the executive, or, in view of the difficulties, is it to close its eyes]to the outrage on morality, on the stetutes of the country and on the decencies of society ? It is true that the Mormons hold and teach, that it is a praiseworthy act, to those who can afford it, and can obtain a licence from the prophet, to take to themselves many wives. But though they teach a pernicious error the Government cannot for a moment recognise the doctrine. Any community might thus be formed to commit acts which society prohibits. Robbers may agree with Rob Roy in nature's decree " that they should take who have the power, and they should keep who can." Thugs may band them selves into a secret society to act on the divine in stitution of strangling and plundering all travellers whom they may inveigle into their hands. Fenians may show good cause when they conspire to re distribute the property of Ireland, and suppress the errors and superstitions of churches of all creeds. Against this it may be argued, that the Mormons attack none. Their institution is confined to them selves, all are free to enter their community, and no others but those specially selected are permittod to enjoy tho privileges of a harem. But this is an argument that any married man might use in New York to " seal" to himself another wife so long as no deception was practised on the woman. What is lawinis asked,Boston or. Philadelphia, is law also in Utah. It Would it be right to employ force againsteld t ideas the perpetration l We answer certainly, when thos e ideas perptration of crimes. Not only is it right, but it is the bounden duty of the State to uphold the laws and to punish crime. The real difficulty is, not the right of the Government, or the duty of the Go vernment,at the power and expe . which is clear, b diency of putting in force Utah, the laws of the United States. Of its power there can be little question. Indeed, we would like to know what the people of the United States — being agreed on any subject—could not do in North America. The question, then, narrows itself to one of expediency. The nation is agreed that the Mormon heresy of polygamy shall not be permitted to exist within its boundaries. It may be extirpated or driven out by shot and shell, or it may be dispel led by the force of public opinion, and a clear refutation of its errors. The Mormons are said to have a well-drilled army of 20,000 rifles. The material of that army is of a most formidable character. Every man is animated by religious enthusiasm, and inspired with implicit belief in the divine mission of his prophet. Each is iunured to hardship, skilled in the use of arms and in the means of maintaining himself in barren wastes. Above all, the position is so difficult of approach, so guarded by natural and other obstacles, that it could only be carried at a frightful sacrifice. Persecution gives an impetus to fanaticism and error, and the prodigious effort of the nation might only end in establishing beyond their borders a Mormon nation. While the loss to the country would be enormous in forcibly clearing the soil of the States of this -- - --___ _____ ..._ L i R ~,,_ .. .. ~. : .:- .. ,_.. , .. ~.. _... --. • ! . , --..-.........- ----..... -..----..---- - ' 1 4 - R F cr.l ' ! -:- - ,—, ~ .r 2 ,! : ::‘!'

A quiet people are engaged most succassf national profit, in reclaiming a wildetiMss road to the Pacific, and in forming a garden cal culated to be of inestimable advantage to the miniul populations of the neighbouring territories. is ti Utah to be laid waste, and to return to the wilder ness from which Mormon energy has reclaimed it ? _ Is this vast body of useful citizens to be driven from their present homes by fire and sword beyond the boundaries of the States, and all ak a _ attractive powers of persecution added to those which have succeeded so marvellously in creating the territory of Utah ? We believe that Mor monism has a greater strength in resisting physical force, than in resisting moral force. And if this be so, it is clearly the policy of the nation to meet argument with argument, and make the institution of polygamy stand the test of controversy. BRIGHAM YOUNG grounds the prac tice on a basis of religion and morality, and on a pretended decree of JOSEPH SMITH, the founder of the Eect. In the first instance, the validity of this decree is disputed on the best authority, which has already' caused a schism among the MOrmons. If it can be shown that the decree is fictitious, BRIGHAM YOUNG will stand convicted of imposture. In the second place, the doctrines of the bishops and elders can be refuted, the lusts and vice that have prompted the practice exposed, and its errors laid bare. So long as BRIGHAM YOUNG is locked up in his mountain retreat, he can bring a heavy pres sure to bear on the few Gentile strangers that find a resting _place in Deseret. Open the roads, throw in missionaries—more particularly women, who are the natural enemies of the prac tice—drag out the institution into the strong glare of public criticism, and its rottenness will soon be exposed. When the head of the Church is unable to exercise a pressure on its members, BRIGHAM YOUNG and his fallacies will wax faint, and the firm ground on which he now stands will become a treacherous quagmire. Erect a free press and a free platform in the City of the Saints, and the Mormon elders will at once have to face two insurmount 7 able obstacles. First, the dislike implanted by nature in woman to a degrading institution, which robs her alike of her natural and social rights ; next, the clear decree of nature. Male and female infants are born in nearly equal numbers, the slight excess of males allowing for the greater waste of manhood. This law is so distinctly marked that it cannot be got over. Even in countries where polygamy is permitted, it is rare to meet a man who has more than one wife. lie who lif.s many robs big fellow-man. Would BRIGHAM YOUNG maintain his sensual doctrines on a free platform by the side of a New England missionary? We have little doubt, judging from the murder of Dr. ROBINSDN, editor of the Union Vedette, that the saints dread such an attack more than they dread the arm of Uncle Star raised in anger. They know that persecution is strength, and that free discussion is annihilation. The danger in the employment of, force lies in the outrage the practice offers to the women of the United States. American women-speak of the scandal which has thus been brought upon the na tion, with flashing eye and an expression of intense disgust. They, who form societies for the extension of Woman's Rights, who claim an equal if not the foremost place in administering the affairs of the world, would with artillery, sabre, and bayonet, crush out of existence the degrading and monstrous . system which turns women into the poorest of slaves, is opposed to the indisputable rights of the sex, to the divine precepts of our SAvmo un, and to the laws of every Christian country.—Anglo- American Times. 2 Court of Aldermen. Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held in their chamber at Guildhall, and was very fully attended. The Lord Mayor presided. TheiSheriffs reported the state of the prisons to be as follows Novgate, 96 prisoners; in White cross-street, 125 prisoners ; and in the City Prison, Holloway, 330 prisoners. The routine business on the agenda paper having been disposed of, The report of the General Purposes Committee on the reference of the 19th February last on the Traffic Regulation (Metropolis) Bill, now before Parlia ment, was presented. From the report it appeared that the Lords' Committee had struck out the clause which reserved to the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen the right and undoubted privilege of re gulating the City traffic without the interference of the City Commissioner of Police, to whom that power was wholly delegated by the bill. Mr. Alderman ROSE moved that the report be referred back to the General Purposes Committee, to take such steps therein in opposition to the mea sure as they might deem necessary. He denounced the measure as most arbitrary and unjust, and as being calculated entirely to destroy the most impor tant branches of trade carried on within the City and its suburbs, which were equally affected by the provisions of the bill. Mr. Alderman FINNIs seconded the motion, ex pressing his concurrence in the view taken of the measure by the mover. Mr. Alderman STONE drew attention to the fact that the Government had promised the Police Com mittee that the clause alluded to would form part of the bill, and in that belief the Police Committee had acted. Had they been aware that it was intended to oppose the clause the committee would have at tended in the House of Lords to support it. This was now too late, and, in consequence, the Lord Mayor had addressed a letter to Mr. Secretary Walpole, requesting the right hon. gentleman to fix a time on Saturday last to receive the Lord Mayor and a small deputation of the Court of Aldermen on the subject. His lordship had received a reply from Mr. Walepole's private secretary, to the effect that much y agede s n u g ggest o t n o gran the r t ig t h h t e h in o t n e . rv g ie e w ntl d e es m i a r n ed w , b as ut to th o a m t from the corporation in writing should receive his best attention. He (Alderman Stone) contended that this was not fair dealing with the corporation by the Government. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman SIDNEY joined in the condemna tion of the bill (the obnoxious clauses of which he read) which had been generally expressed, and stated his surprise at the refusal of Mr. Walpole to grant the interview sought, which the Lord Mayor had a perfect right to demand. _ _ Mr. Alderman J. C. LAWRENCE said that on this point he felt convinced that there must be some mis take, as he felt assured that Mr. Secretary Walpole was the last man in the world to be guilty of any, the slightest, discourtesy. Ile heartily joined in the opposition to this most absurd and impracticable measure. Mr. Alderman COPELAND remarked that if the bill became law he should have to close his establish ment, for then his occupation would be gone. After a few words in opposition to the bill from Mr. Alderman Wilson, Mr. Alderman Hale, and Alderman Sir R. \V. C.trdm, Cie resolatiJu was carried unanimously, with the understanding that the bill should be opposed in its future stages at the expense of the corporation. The court then adjourned. EXHIBITION OF FISHERIES AT THE iIAGUE.-A very important and extensive fishery exhibition is now in preparation at the Hague. It will open about the end of May, and be similar to, but much larger than, the first fishery exhibition held at Am sterdam in 1861, which had a very beneficial effect, both on the fisheries of Holland and Britain. The forthcoming exposition will embrace all, matters connected with sea and freshwater fisheries—as boats, bait, sails, nets, hooks, piscicultural appa ratus, preparations from fish, plants of fishponds, books on the fisheries, fishermen's clothes, &c. Prizes will, as usual at such exhibitions, be awarded to the successful exhibitors. Dr. H. G. Muller is acting as secretary, and articles for exhibition must be at the Hague by the 15th of May. Sliggins saw a note lying on the ground, but knew that it was counterfeit, and walked ou with out picking it up. He told Smithers th e s t or y, when the latter said—" Do you know, Sliggins, you have committed a very grave offence ?" " What have I done ?" " You have passed a counterfeit bill, knowing it to be such." K IN A.IIAN'S Lb WHISKY. DUBLIN EXHIBITTON, 1865. This celebrated OLD IRISH WHISKY gained the Dublin Prize Medal.

He cordially approved of the clauses in the bill. The bill was then read a second time. Upon the report of amendments to the Traffic Ilegula tion (getrOpolis) Bill being brought up, an amendment in favour of the perambulating boardmen was moved by Lord Denbigh, and, after some discussion, carried by 24 to 16. Upon the motion for going into Committee upon the Railway Traffic Protection Bill, Lord CAIRNS objected to the measure as unjust to cre ditors and injurious to shareholders, contending that there was no reason why railway companies which contracted debts ghoul.' not be liable to the usual legal enforcement of payment. The bill, although limited in duration till Angus: next, would inflict permanent injury upon present credi tors, because, while their power of issuing execution was to be stayed, the property of railways could still be seized on account of rates and Crown debts. Lord REDESDALE justified his bill as being a tempo rary expedient, rendered necessary by the peculiar posi tion of some railway companies, and urged that h was for the public advantage that railway communication should not be stopped by the seizure for debt of the rolling stock of insolvent or indebted companies. The Duke of Montrose approved the bill, but Lord Oran worth and the Duke of Buckingham regarded it as inexpe dient, and calculated to do harm rather than good. Deferring to these opinions, Lord REDESDALE ultimately withdrew the bill. The sitting was. closed A five minutes past seven o'clock. HOUSE . OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.

REGISTERED OFFICES. 5, Batavia Buildings, Hackins Hey, Liverpool. ABR►IDGED PROSPECTUS. The object of the Company is to acquire three valuable mining properties in Carmarthenshire ; that is to say, New Nantymwyn, Gilfach, Glan-Towy. New Nantymwyn is a continuation westward of the celebrated Nantymwyn Mines. These Mines have been worked to immense profit for centuries, and appear to be perfectly inexhaustible. Some idea may be formed of the great value of these Lodes from the fact that they occupy a channel of 180 feet in width, consisting of six divisions or lodes, and that a sink on one of them is now yielding eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of £2OO per fathom for Lead. 2dly. The Gilfach property consists of a Lead Mine, worked to some extent and furnished with water machi nery, in which a discovery of Load Ore has been made by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend the shaft downwards on this course of ore, as well as to ex plore another discovery of ore in the sett on the Lady Eliza No. 2 Lode,where there is a good back of oro ground cropping up to and extending a considerable length along the surface. 3dly. Glan-Towy is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which have yielded Lead Ore in some quantity, exist on the top of the hill, and the present Company propose to drive an Adit to prove the value of the Lode under the old sinks. Plans taken from the Ordnan , :e Survey, showing the ex act position of the Lodes, together with ground plans of the estate sections of the Mines, and reports by skilful mining engineers, are appended, and will be forwarded on application to the Secretary. Specimens of the ore may be seen at the Company's Offices. Taking into consideration the position of the Mines, the highly favourable prospects, and the return of ore being immediately available, the Directors feel confident that, with the outlay proposed, profits equal to tho adjoining mines will be participated in by the Shareholders. Applications for Shares, to be accompanied with the deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

The Earl of DEVON said that in introducing this bill for a second reading he might mention that it was a most important one with regard to the poor in the metro polis. The bill had a threefold purpose—first, to pro vide for the sick and miserable; secondly, for the proper care of the poor as regarded the workhouses ; and, lastly, for a general revision of the whole conduct towards the metropolitan poor. When it was taken into consideration how much difference there was between the poor in the country and the metropolis the necessity for this bill would be thoroughly appreciated. In the country workhouses there were only 14 per cent., while in the metropolis there were 37 per cent. Of late years care had been taken to investigate into the position of the sick poor, and one of the most impor tant questions to be considered was the amount of accom modation that could be given to them in the various work houses of the metropolis. It was considered necessary that for 500 persons there should be 1,200 cubic feet of space. but in no workhouse was there more than 850 feet. To guide them in the matter they had had the cases of Timothy Daly, who died in the Holborn Workhouse in December, 1864, and of Richard Gibson, who died at the St. George's Workhouse ; and, under these circumstances, inspectors had been appointed, who had pronounced that the sick-wards were inadequate and insufficient, and that in addition to these reports, among other circumstances, proclaimed the same thing. Prom these circumstance; he (the noble earl) should, without hesitation, contend that there were just grounds for the Poor Law Board to take ample steps in the matter. That house and the country at large mustbe indebted to the exertions of that noble lady (Miss Nightingale) who had exhibited such sympathetic and loving attention to all matters connected with the sick and poor, and had shown how ranch by judicious ma nagement might be done to alleviate the miseries of disease. Tho noble earl then reviewed the precise terms of the bill which would be adapted to tho necessities of the poor and sick, but would not in any degree interfere with the action of the Poor-law Board. That would bo for the creation of freshalistricts where the poor should be relieved, the foundation of dispensaries, the appointment :of paid nurses, the compensation to medical officers, the establish ment of extended accommodation for pauper lunatics, and the just relief of all distressed persons, lie therefore, in full confidence, well knowing that it was almost unani mously agreed to in the other house, moved the reading of the bill a second time. Lord KIMBERLEY said that ho considered that the bill reflected great credit upon those who framed it, but he could not help commenting upon a remark made by the noble earl opposite, that the present bill did not reflect upon the local guardians ; but ho (the noble earl) considered that it did so ; but, in that respect, ho must say that he thought that the Poor-law Board should be free from that system of jeal ousy which had been exhibited towards it. These boards should undoubtedly have the power to enforce what they considered locally necessary without being obliged only to take evidence in the matter by affidavits THE REFORM BILL. Mr. MILL gave notice that in committee. he should move that clauses 74-5-6 the word " man " be omitted and the word "person" inserted ; and also that clauses 8 to 16 be omitted, and that certain words embodying personal re presentation be inserted. BRIBERY. Lord IL THYNNE asked the Secretary of State for tho Homo Department whether he proposed to call the at tention of the Lord Chancellor to those magistrates whohad been reported on by the commissioners who lately sat on the corrupt boroughs, as being privy and assenting to corrupt practices, with a view of their being struck off the seve ral commissions of the peace to which they may belong. Mr. WALPOLE said he did not know enough, of the facts of the case to give him an answer. TIIE REPORTERS' GALLERY. Dr. BRADY asked the First Commissioner of Works why it happened that, while accommodation was provided for the London press in the Reporters' Gallery, the repre sentatives of the Irish and Scotch journals were excluded from all facilities for reporting the proceedings of the house Lord J. MANNERS said the control of the Reporters' Gallery was confided to the Sergeant-at-Arms, and ar rangements had been made, as far as possible, to accom modate the representatives of the press. The facilities of the electric telegraph were largely adopted by the pro yin cial press, but notwithstanding that assistance the accom modation afforded for reporting the proceedings of that house was not made simply for the metropolitan press. Ile could not hold out any hope of an enlargement of the gal lery. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. Mr. BENTINCK asked the hon. member for Leicester whether he would enlarge his motion for an address to the Crown to remove Mr. Churchward from the commission of the peace so as to include all magistrates who had been found guilty of, or consenting or privy to, corrupt prac tices by bribery commissions ? Mr. TAYLOR said ho thought the hon. member was hardly serious in asking the question. Ho had given notice of a specific case, with the facts of which he had made himself acquainted, and he was now asked to extend it to persons of whom he knew nothing. CHear, hear.) Ho could not accede to the request of the hon. member. Mr. BENTINCK gave notice that he should move an amendment to the motion when it was brought forward to the effect he bad stated. Sir R. KNIGHTLEY asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer on what day he proposed to introduce his bill for the better prevention of bribery and corruption at elections, which he had promised he would introduce at the same time that he brought forward the reform bill, and which promise he had not redeemed ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would certainly lay the bill on the table before the holi days, but he could not then state the exact date. It would not, however, be before the secon.l reading of the reform bill. DUALITY OF VOTING. Mr. BRIG HT wished to ask the right hon. gentleman a question, the answer to which would doubtless influence the course that would be adopted by many members on his side of the house. The question was, Whether, after the expression .of opinion that•was expressed last night, he intended to adhere to that part of the bill which re lated to duality of voting as essential to the measure ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the second reading of the bill would be the proper time to answer such questions. It would not be right at that period to give answers to questions that might lead to false impressions. Mr. GLADSTONE said he had a series of questions to ask the right hon. gentleman with respect to certain provisions of his bill, which ho might perhaps feel disposed to answer without placing the questions on the paper. The questions related to the condition of the borough voters, and also as to the number of voters that would be enfran chised supposing the proposals of the Government were assented to by the house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was impossible to answer the questions off hand, therefore ho would wish that the right honourable gentleman would place his questions in print, and he would give him an answer to-morrow. Mr. B. JOHNSTONE said he wished to ask a question of the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exche quer. The hon. member for Birmingham had put a question to elicit whether the dual system of vot ing was essential to the measure ; now, he wished to know whether the late Government had not persistently refused to answer questions as to what they intended to do with respect to certain provisions in the bill they brought forward. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the proper time to answer these questions was when the bill was under discussion, when the Government would have an opportunity of meeting the whole of the objections in legitimate debate, and then have an oppor tunity of clearly expressing their views on the whole of the matters brought forward by hon. members. THE BRIBERY COMMISSION. In reply to Mr. BAGGED The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question was difficult to answer, because there was a fear of mistaken identity. (Laughter.) The names, however, born a groat similarity to those mentioned in the reports —(laughter)----but he thought that a select committee would be a better mode of eliciting the information he re quired, rather than by any information it was in his power to give the house. Mr. WATKIN said he had sent a communication to the Lord Chancellor stating that under the circumstances he should refrain from acting in his magisterial capacity un til he had expressed his opinion on the matter. FIRE INSURANCE. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN moved the following resolution: —" That, in the opinion of this house a further reduction of the duty on fire insurances would have a tendency to bring within the protection of insurance a large amount of the present uninsured property of the country, and that a further reduction of the duty should therefore be made at the earliest opportunity." Mr. B. COCHRANE opposed the motion. Mr. HUBBARD hoped that the hon. member would not on that occasion persevere with the resolution, but that he would withdraw it in preference to its being negatived. Mr. GLADSTONE said he could not give his assent to the resolution of the hon. member for Dudley, not be cause he was in love with the tax, but because he objected to fetter the discretion of Parliament. At a proper time, and under proper circumstances, he should not object to give the proposition all the consideration to which it was entitled, but he did not consider the present moment au opportune ono for bringing forward such a subject. Mr. HADFIELD thought the tax an unjust one, and the sooner it was equitably adjusted the better. Mr. HANKEY said the hon. member for Dudley only shared the fate of every private member who brought forward a motion for the reduction of taxation. It. was always considered an inopportune time by every succes sive Chancellor of the Exchequer whenever a question of the nature now under discussion was brought forward. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not consent to the resolution of the hon. member for Dudley, and he hoped that the house would not give its assent to it. On a division the previous question was carried by 215 to 156. A motion by Mr. Graves for leave to bring in a bill for the better regulation of publichouses, beerhouses, and re freshment houses gave rise to some discussion. Mr. Roe buck objected at the preliminary stage, chiefly for the pur pose of extracting an explanation from the Government of their intentions as to the licensing system. The introduc tion of the bill was supported by Mr. P. Powell, Mr. Pease, and Mr. W. E. Porstar, and Mr. WALPOLE said he had made up 14s mind what sort Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols , F F T II E L I N E. By LADY CHARLES THYNNE.
