The premises had been entered by the first-floor window, which had been attained by climbing up the water spout. He found the jemmy and chisel produced on the landing. They fitted the marks made in the window frame, and everything had been prepared for the com mittal of a robbery to a large extent. The arrange ments were those of " professionals." On being asked by the magistrate what he bad to say to the charge, the prisoner said he got up early this morning in orderC to meet the mail trains to get a job as he was short of money. Some men hired him to convey a fare over the water, and took him to Drury-lane. They immediately put the cloth into his cab, and when the foreman gave the alarm he thought it was best to pursue them and cry out " Stop thief." He did not hear the foreman halloing out after him. He never saw the men before, but he should know the man who hired him. Leasing Compans. losing Price. yestsrlay. ?sadness this daY• HOUSE OF LORDS.—•(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woo: sack at 12 o'clock. PETITIONS. Earl HARROWBY presented a petition from Con way, praying for the resuscitation of Poland ; his lord ship also presented a petition from the Licensed Vic tuallers of East Lancashire, in favour of the repeal of the Beer Act of last session. CHARITABLE TRUSTS (1855) BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were con sidered. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving their adop tion, said he regretted that some of the alterations which had been made were by no means calculated to im prove the bill. Lord CAMPBELL said that although the bill had been mutilated it might be of some service, but not of one•half the benefit it might have been if let alone. He expressed a fear that there were too many lawyers is the other house, whose conflicting counsel did no con tribute to the efficient mending of the iaw of this country. Lord LYTTELTON said he hoped that next session an attempt would be made to carry through Parliament some such provisions as had been rejected in the other house ; for he was quite satisfied they were necessary for the management of small charities. Earl GRANVILLE having avid a few words in fa- Your of the Charity Commissioners, The amendments were agreed to. UNION OF CONTIGUOUS BENEFICES BILL.

The amendments were rejected. INVERNESS BRIDGE BILL. This bill was read a third time aLd passed. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the adoption of the Commons' amendments to this bill, and in doing so explained their purport. Lord CAMPBELL hating said a few words, The motion was agreed to. PUBLIC-HOUSES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DISEASES PREVENTION BILL. This bill was also read a third time and passed. LIMITED LIABILITY BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, Lord LYTTELTON again protested, before the mea sure passed its final stage, against the conduct of the Government in pressing a bill of such great importance through the house at this late period of the session, when no time remained for considering its details as they ought to be. He alFo complained of the dictatorial authority with which this bill had been pushed forward through all its stages, notwithstanding the rule which had been laid down by their lordships expressly to meet such cases. The Marquis of LANSDOWNg said that although he had from the very first been strongly favourable to the principle and object of the measure, he could not concur in the very sanguine hopes which its supporters entertained with respect to its immediate operation. (Hear, hear.) In his opinion nothing could be more proper or indeed just and reasonable than that when any number of persons entered into a business contract with one another they should be enabled to make it as advantageous to themselves as possible. Thus, on the one hand, one person might choose to risk the whole of his property in its success, and in that case he ought to be at liberty to do so ; but, on the other hand, his partner might deem it prudent to limit his liability, and he ought to have an equal ability so to do. (Hear, hear.) This being the case, and believing that many important undertakings were only waiting for the pass ing of that measure to start into active existence, he be lieved the Government to be fully justified in pressing it forward before the termination of the session. Lord REDESDALE maintained the opinion he had before expressed, that no case of urgency had been estab lished, and feared that many useless and improper un dertakings would spring out of it. Lord CAMPBELL expressed his unqualified concur rence in the principles and provisions of the bill, and in the course the Government bad adopted in regard to it. Lord MONTEAGLE reiterated the objections he en tertained towards the measure. _ _ _ Lord GRANVILLE said be very much doubted whether the bill would have been improved if longer time had been allowed for its consideration, and defended the course the Government bad taken in regard to it. Lord DENMAN thought the discussion upon that measure would be productive of much public benefit, as would also the bill itself. After a few words from Lord ST. VINCENT and Lord CAMPBELL, _ _ _ The bill was read a third time. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved a clause empowering the Board of Trade to appoint an auditor to inquire into and examine the accounts of such companies as availed themselves of the advantages of the bill in the event of no such officers being appointed by themselves. After some further discussion, in which Lord Mont eagle, Lord Campbell, and the Earl of Harrowby took part, the clause was agreed to and added to the bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR then moved an addi tion to clause 15, applying the Government Stock Winding up Acts to this bill, which was agreed to. The bill then passed. BURIALS BILL. Their lordships then took into consideration the Com mons' amendments to this bill, which were agreed to. Their lordships adjourned at 10 minutes past two o'clock till Monday at half-past 11 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after one o'clock. A POLISH LEGION. Lord EBRINGTON presented a petition from a large number of Poles, expressing a wish for the enrolment of a Polish Legion for the service of her Majesty, and calling upon the Government to use their good offices with the Emperor of the French to assist in restoring the nationality of Poland. ARMY CLOTHING. On the motion of Colonel DUNNE, a return w 's or dered of the prices allowed by the Ordnance Depa. tment for the clothing of the soldiers of her Majesty's service; distingishing those allowed for the different services of artillery, engineers, infantry (Guards and line), cavalry, colonial corps, and foreign troops of whatever descrip tion ; distinguishing also the prices allowed for the dif ferent grades of rank in each service : and, list of the prices formerly allowed to colonels of regiments for clothing these corps, and of those allowed for the dif ferent troops supplied by the Board of Ordnance.

Lord HOTHAM wished to know whether the Go vernment had any objection to lay upon the table the evidence taken by Sir J. M`Neill and Colonel Tulloch, the commissioners sent out by the Government to in quire into the sanitary condition of the army in the Crimea, with their report thereon. Lord PALMERSTON said the Government had no objection to lay upon the table the report. There might be some passages of a confidential nature which it would be desirable to omit ; but the Government would have no objection to lay upon the table the substance of the report and the whole of the evidence. (Hear.) [LEFT SITTING.] BOW-STREET.-(TBIS DAY.) AN EXTENSIVE ROBBERY PREVENTED. A cabman, named John, Joseph Tier, was this morning placed at the bar charged with having in his possession a large gliantity of cloth, the property of Mr. Fisher, clothworker, residing at 4 and ✓, Broker's Ally, Drury lane. From the evidence of the foreman, it appeared that at about half-past four o'clock this morning he was awoke by a bustling noise, and on looking out of the window he saw four or five men busily employed in removing a large number of rolls of cloth from his master's premises into a cab, which was standing at the end of the Ally. He immediately gave the alarm, and shouted out to the cabman to " stop the thieves." The cabman, instead of doing so, drove off at a furious rate, and the five or six men all ran in different directions. He without a moment's loss of time rushed into the street, with nothing on him but his shirt, and commenced pur suing the cab, shouting at the top of his voice " Stop thieves." The cabman continued to drive on until he was stopped by 3 working man and a police constable, opposite the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street. On examination of the cab, they found inside three rolls of cloth and some calico, to the value of about fifty pounds. The property found in the cab belonged to his master, and he saw it safe in the shop at nine o'clock last night when he locked up the premises. The way in which the entry into the premises had been effected was by the first floor window, which had been pressed open by a " jemmy." 'William Abrahams stated ho was employed as a porter to a market gardener. Ile saw the cab proceeding at a furious rate, and immediately started in pursuit. He also saw the Arst witness running as fast as he could along the street in his shirt, and heard him, although a considerable distance off, shouting out, " Stop thieves, stop 'em." The cabman must ha ve heard him, but he n himself even t ua lly stopped the cab, and having put themself was also shouting out , " Stop thief." A police foreman inside he got on the box and ordered the man to drive to the station-house. Police-cOnstable 52 F p roved th at he stopped the cab. The prisoner, o n his way to the station-hou se , t o ld him that he bad been engaged by a man with an apron on to take a job to the other side of the water. Inspector Mackenzie stated that, on the prisoner being brought to the station, he said that a party bad hired him to convey a fare over the water. He bad been to the address given by the prisoner, No. 11, Sid mouth-mews, and found that he resided there. H e h a d also examined the premises which had been entered by the thieves, and be found the warehouee in the greateeb NENTGATE AND LEADENHALL.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANOELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of BESSBOROUGH presented two peti- tions against Church-rates, and also a petition in favour of the formation of a Polish Legion. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Jed burgh, in favour of the Scotch Education Bill. LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES BILL. The Earl of MALMESBURY said he wished to call the attention of the noble and learned lord on the wool sack to one very useful and important bill which had been withrawn in the present session. That bill was unanimously accepted by their lordships' house as being a most useful measure. It was the Leases and Settled Estates Bill. It appeared that the noble and learned lord had entrusted that bill in the hands of the Soli citor-General, who, after some discussion upon its details yesterday, withdrew the bill on the ground that he believed it would be impossible to pass it through Parliament in the present session. As far as he could learn from the report be had seen, the noble and l earne d lord had not been suppo r ted by he members of the Go vernment in the other House of Parliament in the way they ought to do in connection with measures of great importance. He wished to ask the noble and learned lord whether it was his intention to re-introduce the bill next session The LORD CHANCELLOR quite concurred with the noble earl that the measure was a most important one. He did not, however, wish to take the credit of that measure to himself. It was passed with the almost unanimous approval of their lordships, and was placed in the hands of the Solicitor-Gen era l, who took exactly the same view as he had done. As far ae he could hear, there was a notion abroad in the other house that there was one particular clause, which would effect what was - - vulgarly called the enclosure of Hampstead Heath. Now the notion was entirely wrong, but to prevent any mistake a clause had been introduced into it so as to meet the objection. (Hear.) The bill had been postponed in consequence of the lateness of the session, but he in tended at the earliest opportunity next session to re introduce the bill. Lord CAMPBELL observed that many important bills which had been introduced by distinguished mem bers of that house, and which had met with general ap proval, were not supported in the way they ought to have been by the members of the lower house. He 'thought Sir T. M. Wilson was entitled to compensation, and that he would be willing to enter into negotiations with that view. TREATMENT OF PRISONERS BY THE RUSSIANS. The Earl of MALMESBURY drew the attention of the house to the account which appeared in Blackwood's Magazine, and other periodicals, in respect to the treat ment of English and French prisoners by the Russians. It appeared from these accounts that the English and French prisoners, taken in the Crimea, were marched an enormous distance, about 600 or 700 miles, on foot, at very inclement seasons of the year. What would be said, if the Russian prisoners, landed at Portsmouth or Plymouth, were marched to the north of Scotland. It was the duty of her Majesty's Government to ascertain if those statements were true, and, if so, to protest against the infliction of Bach sufferings upon their sol diers. They had plenty of precedents for doing so, and might refer, for example, to the protests made in the last war against the treatment of prisoners who had been taken by the enemy. The Government would not be doing their duty if it did not protest against the infliction of such sufferings upon the English prisoners. (Hear, hear.) The Inverness Bridge Bill passed through committee. PUBLIC HEALTH (No. 2) BILL. The Duke of ARGYLL moved that as the Public Health (No. 2) Bill has been unavoidably delayed in consequence of the withdrawal of the Public Health Amendment bill, in the House of Commons, and since, if the said bill be not proceeded with, improvement works of immediate necessity in the places affected by the said bill will be prevented or impeded ; and as it appears that the House of Commons suspended th e i r standing orders with a view to a speedy passing of the said bill, the circumstances are of such urgency as render the immediate consideration of the same expedient. The motion was agreed to, and the bill was read a second time. The standing orders having been suspended on the motion of the noble duke, the bill was put through the other stages and passed. THE CRIMINAL OUTRAGE (IRELAND) ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. On the motion to consider the Commons' amendments, Lord MONTEAGLE called attention to the fact that by an alteration made in the other house, the Crime and Outrage Act was only to be continued until next July. From that he inferred that there was an intention in the course of the ensuing session to take the whole question into consideration, and he hoped there would be a dis position to dispense with such portions of the law as could tbe dispensed with, with a due regard to public safety. He hoped that in the course of the next session they would lay the foundation for a careful examination of the circumstances of Ireland, for the purpose of ascer taining what course of legislation should be adopted. Earl GRANVILLE was not aware that any pledge had been given of the nature referred to by the noble lord. Hon. gentlemen opposed to the bill having made a proposition that was unobjectionable, the Government were glad to accept it to enable them to go on with the other public business. The amendments of the Commons were then agreed to. The Public-houses (Ireland) Bill passed through com mittee. The Public Health Act (1854) Continuance and Amendment Bill passed through committee ; and the Diseases Preventio❑ Bill passed through committee. The Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Advances Bill, and Navigation Works (Ireland) Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill passed through committee. EXCHEQUER•BILLS (7,000,0001) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Ex chequer-bills (7,000,0001.) Bill, Lord MONTEAGLE directed attention to the finan cial prospects of the country. He did not object to the expenditure which had taken place under the circum stances. He grudged nothing that was necessary for the vigorous prosecution of the war, but he grudged everything that introduced a new and a bad principle which would in the end fail. The noble lord then ad verted to the loans, to the issue of Exchequer-bonds, to the Turkish loan, and to the Commissariat advances and expenditure, pointing out objections to the node in which they were carried on. He admitted the diffi culties of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, he said, had shown excellent judgment in his arrange. ments. The Earl of MALMESBURY retorted the accusation which he had understood the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had brought against himself and his friends for doubting the good faith c,f the French Go vernmett in the opposition to the Turkish Loan Bill. On a previous occasion the friends of the noble lord had on this ground offered a most violent opposition to the convention for the extradition of criminals. The Earl of CLARENDON having explained that the noble lord laboured under a complete misapprehen sion, Earl GREY entered into a general condemnation of the Turkish loan, which he regarded as one of the con sequences of carrying on war in a spirit of reckless ex travagance without check or consideration. In his opinion the public service might be managed with greater economy and equal results be obtained from a more judicious expenditure. He did not blame the Go vernment for this. He thought the blame rested with the Houses of Parliament. The House of Commons, which ought to be a check upon the Government, and prevent the public money being wasted, seemed, on the contrary, to think it had no other duty to perform than to vote, without inquiry, any enormous sums of money which might be demanded of it. The house then went into committee, and the bill was agreed to. The Militia Pay Bill went through committee. LIMITED LIABILITY BILL. On the motion for receiving the report on this bill. Earl GREY presented a petition from the Manchester Chamber of Commerce against the bill. Lord CAMPBELL expressed his firm belief that un less some minimum of capital was fixed in this bill, the greatest possible injury would be inflicted by its opera tion. There was nothing in the hill at present to pre vent joint-stock companies being formed and actually carried out with a capital of 501. The act required only that there should be 25 shareholders, and that the shares should be no less than 101. each, the sum of 21. only being required to be paid up, so that each of the 25 share holders, holding one share on which be paid 21., would be able to avail himself of the privileges of this act. He confidently believed that bubble companies without number would be formed, if this act were passed, and he trusted Government would consent to adopt the prin ciple of a minimum in the bill. Earl GRANVILLE could not conceive upon what grounds the noble lord's apprehensions of evil from the want of limitation, which he sought to introduce, were founded. He (Earl Granville) was at a loss, even 50 E , posing companies should be formed with a ca I which he much doubted, to know what b a rru pi a t :e p u s l i d d. r o e p " snit. How could companies formed wit o bj, io., i i. capital of 501., and a nominal capita:, f .;,, spire persons with confidence in the a are ;:o ld ld a e r r a s c i o n l - - l d e i c y t i i d v u e a ly ll , y 7hich was not felt for those share :it in stock com diculous that the E re ar s l h G ou ß ld E b Y e all th othueghmtacithineexartrnydeomfeal secretary, Yj and all f or t P h a e nY i purpose wit ofi r ehd managinge directors, d mos t a bsurd thing.

It was, however, their intention to reintroduce it in the next session. Lord REDESDA.LP, wished to know in what man ner the revenue would be affected in the case of the for mation of companies of that sort carrying on manufac tures from which revenues had to be collected I Would each shareholder in the company be severally liable for the payment of excise duties ? Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY did not see that in the event of companies b e i ng f ormed for such purposes any gr ea t er difficulties would arise th an those 'which ex. isted in th e ca se of individual manufacturers. Earl GREY wished to know whether any persons holding shares in any company formed under this act, without taking part in its management, would be liable for the payment of excise duties to the Crown beyond the amount of their shares. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY—Certainly not: Earl GREY—Then the effect would be that compa nies would be formed for the sole purpose of defrauding the revenue. They might put men of straw in the ma nagement of the concern, keeping themselves perfectly free from it, carry on business to a large extent, in the case of distilling for instance, where frauds had been so frequently practised, then when the authorities disco. vered the fraud the company would merely break up, and the shareholders would be only liable for the nomi nal amount of their shares. The Earl of HA RROWBY said that the Mock and plant in such cases would be liable to be taken for pay. meat. After some further conversation, Earl GREY moved the insertion of a clause providing for the appointment of auditor by the commissioners for auditing the public accounts. He believed that by such a provision only could this bill be prevented from lead ing to the commission of great frauds. Lord STBNLEY of ALDERLEY said that the audit was for the protection of shareholders, and he could not admit that it was the duty of Government to undertake it. He recommended that the consideration of this sub ject should be deferred until the revision of the Joint- Stock Companies Act, which must take place next ses sion. Lord Campbell supported the clause ' • which was op. posed by the L or d Ch ance ll or an d E ar l Granville, and supported by Lord Monteagle and Lord Redesdale Ultimately Lord Granville promised, in deference to the strong opinions which had bden expressed, to consider this clause before the bill passed its next stage. Earl GREY suggested that it might be desirable to give the power of appointing auditors rather to the Board of Trade or the Treasury, than to the commissioners for the examination of the public accounts, as he had pro vided in his clause ; not because that was in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Audit Bill, which had passed the house. _ Earl GRANVILLE guarded himself against being understood to have promised to assent to this clause. He only meant to promise to consider it with his col leagues, to see whether it could be consented to. Upon this uuderstanding, Earl GREY withdrew the clause for the present. Lord CAMPELL proposed a clause allowing costs against shareholders, when the company has no assets, against which execution can be levied. The clause was agreed to, and the report was then received, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow (this day.) HAY MARKETS.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.—The market has had a firmer appearance since our last, and in one or two mines very large transactions have taken place. Copper Hill shares have been much sought after, but are difficult to obtain. East Buller, also, has had a good share of attention, as the cross-cut is approaching near to the Wheal Buller lode. Alfred Consols have been fiat, and no transaction marked for the week. Great Alfreds remain about the same, but there is a probability of a rise in price. Vale of Towy has improved, and again sampled 100 tons of ore for the month. Rosewarnes have been largely dealt in, and are still sought after. In Sortridge Consols the transactions have been very large.—Mining Journal. We understand that an arrangement for raising the capital to complete the West-end and Crystal Palace Railway has just been concluded. The plan carried out by the Great Northern Railway Company has been adopted in this instance. The capital of the company has been divided into two equal parts ; one consists of 51. shares. on which a preference dividend of 7 per cent. is to be paid before the other can receive auy dividend. The dividend is secured by an annual payment (in lieu of rent) by the Brighton Company, and likewise by a similar arrangement with the Crystal Palace Company. This will secure a West-end terminus for the Brighton and Dover Railways, as well as for the visitors to the Crystal Palace. The Queen's 0 wn Regiment of Infantry will, on Mon day morning, by permission of their colonel, the Earl of Wilton, proceed from their encampment on Woolwich Common to Cremorne Gardens, accompanied by their band, to assist in the representation of the Siege of Se bastopol, with the storming of the Mamelon Vert and Capture of the Rifle Pits, which form a portion of the entertainments to be given in the Grand Military Fete, in aid of the Wellington College, on Monday evening, at these gardens, under the immediate patronage of her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. MEDICAL OFFICERS IN THE ARMY AND NATY.—Yes• terday a return was issued, which shows that there are 26 medical officers attached to the hospital at -Smyrna, and 24 to the civil hospital in the Dardanelles. The same return also shows that since the lst of January, 1854, up to the present time, there have been appointed for the service of the army and navy 5 5 as a : istant ' aur. geons, 109 acting assistant-surge:ne, 10 .as!istant-eur goons of the Ordnance Department, 1 principal and 1 2 apothecaries, medical storekeeper, apothecaries, 3 6 . dis pensers and 36 dressers, all of whom had been examined, and were found duly qualified before they were ap. pointed.

The Commons' amendments to this bill were agreed to. Their lordships adjourned at half•past nine. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at halfliast 3 o'clock. THE IRISH BENCH. Sir J. V. SHELLEY gave notice that early next session he should call the attention of the house to the present state of the Trish bar. WINE DUTIES.

In reply to a question from Mr. WATSON, Mr. F. PEEL said it was not the intention of the Government to confer upon the army surgeons serving in the hospitals in the East any other promotion than was at present conferred upon surgeons in the field. THE PROPOSED ITALIAN LEGION. Mr. BOWYER, availing himself of the privilege of moving that the house, at its rising, do adjourn until Monday, called the atteLtion of the house to the proba ble evil consequences which would result frum the for mation of an Italian Foreign Legion. He con tended, at some length, that at the conclusion of the war, when the Legion would be disbanded, the soldiers would flock to their native country and there be the means of fomenting or reviving those internal dissensions and disturbances which so short a period ago resulted in open war. In conclusion, he wished to ask the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment as to how the Government intended to provide for the Italian Legion, so that it should not eventually be come dangerous to the internal tranquillity of Italy I Lord PALMERSTON, in replying to the hon. gen tleman, said that of course the bon. member would with draw the motion he had made for the purpose of entering into the details he had done, because the next meeting of the house must depend entirely upon the proceedings in the other house at a later period of the day. Pro ceeding, then, to the question which had been put to him, the noble lord said the Italian Legion would, he be lieved, consist of 3,000 or 4,000 men ; and the hon. gentleman had applauded the decision of the Government in raising it, and bad truly said, further, that it would consist of men fully qualified to make excellent soldiers and to do this country good service. At the same time, however, the hon. member seemed to apprehend that when the war was over, and when these men returned to Italy, disbanded or not, they would be exceedingly dangerous to the internal tranquillity of the country; and he therefore wanted to know what security there would be when these men were disbanded that they should not become troublesome or dangerous in the way sug gested. His (Lord Palmerston s) reply was that those men acquired habits of order and discipline whilst in ac tive service, and were, on that accouut, less likely than any other persons to become on their return unruly sub jects. The noble lord concluded with some general re marks, in reply to some of the statements of the hon. gentleman. After a few words from Lord HOT HAM on the im proper advantage which the hon. member (Mr. Bowyer) had taken of the privilege of moving the adjournment of the house, seeing that what he had had to say might have been much more appropriately said the other even ing, when a speech on a similar subject was made by the noble lord the member for the City of London, the subject then dropped. ARTILLERY IN THE CRIMEA. In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, Mr. MONSELL said that the last despatches from the seat of war stated that the army was well supplied with ammunition and guns of all sorts. The number of guns sent out within the last three weeks had been con siderably increased, and therefore the present state of things was even more satisfactory than it was at the period those despatches left. EMOLUMENTS OF CLERKS OF THE PEACE. . _ On the motion of Mr. WATSON, returns of the amount of salaries, fees, and emoluments received by the several clerks of the peace in England and Wales in respect of their respective offices in the years 1852, 1853, 1854, and 1555, stating in respect of what duties such fees are payable ; and, of the amount of any compensation granted to them in respect of their offices, stating when, and by what authority, and for what cause such compensation was awarded, were or dered to be laid upon the table of the house. BALAKLAVA HARBOUR. On the motion of Sir C. WOOD, a copy was ordered of all the correspondence relative to the state of Bala klava harbour. DESPATCH OF BUSINESS COURT OF CHAN. CERY BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, re. Burning the discussion upon clause 1. Mr. MALINS condemned the policy of proceeding with this bill at so advanced a period of the session, when so little time remained for considering it as fully as its importance demanded. Having entered into some statements as to the existing law with regard to appeals, with the object, he observed, of impressing upon the Government the deep urgency of giving this bill the most careful attention, in order that the system new in force should be brought to an end the duties of the Chief Clerk should be perforniedeathDaYt Mr. L. WIGRAM thought it was ' most important ,th‘at himself, and not by a Junior Clerk. He 1?p Home explanation would be given upon s u b j ect. thentto increase unio ed the appoint.
