point that. I hope that that prudence may be otserved which I think the circumstances of the case really he ed. My reason for saying this is that at the conelusfon of the conferences, or when they were suspended, Covet Buol expressly stated that he considered that the rues for obtaining a peace were not wholly exhausted, and that it would be the special duty of Austria to en a your to. discover some mode of attaining th a t en d cons st ently With the engagements into whi c h s h e h a d en t ere d w thc d the. other Powers. My lords, whether any proposal that may be thus framed will be likely to be satisfactory to her Majesty's Government, I am sure I cannot venture to fes'Y ; but on a question of such magnitude, as to whether it may be possible to concrude a safe and honourable peace, I am . persuaded that your lo r d s hi ps w ill f ee l th a t anyproP o3 '7 tion that may be m a d e t o us s h ou ld receive a patient itntl unprejudiced conside ra ti on f rom h er Majesty's Govern ment—(hear, hear)— an d th e m o re s o, as that consideration - is at the same ti me compa tibl e with the vigorous preset tion of military operations. (Hear.) The Earl of DERBY—My lords, I freely admit . hat the noble earl ought not to disclose to u s anything which might Nevertheless, I must be prejudicial to the public interests. te be permitted to say that the sta tnm en e t n w f h a ich ve h r ; 1 1 17 just satis niade to your lordships o a ut p te e l r y, before discussions can factory nature. 1:r take place in this house upon the present state of public affairs, it will be neceasarythat we should have before us the papers which have been promised, and which I am glad to find are not alone and opinions of the various powers that were present' at the conferences, but also the arguments and grounds upon w hi c h those powers based their respective conclusions. -undoubtedly, also, from such a collection of docnreents we m , T gain considerable light, not only a s to w h at is past but on what is of still more importance —our prospects der the future ; but I must say that, although I concur with the noble earl that no prospect, however slight, of obtain ing a safe and honourable peace should be sacrificed by this country, yet I have heard from him, almost with feelings of regret, that an extent of forbearance has been shown on the part of the Allied Powers in regard to their demand upon Russia, the good policy of which may be open to serious question. (Hear, hear.) The propositions of the Allies having been totally rejected, and no counter propositions—at least, none of a reasonable character —having been offered by the enemy, I must repeat that I learn with regret that fresh propositions and friish negotiations are still in prospect, because I fear that tlr ay can have no other object but that of wasting time and tin juring the cause of the Western Powers. I must say, that I think the propositions which have been made by the allied Powers to Russia are even now below those which the requirements of the case demand ; and that the condes sions which were made to her, even if they had been ac cepted, would have rendereduseless—if not worse than Use less—the great expenditure of blood and treasure which England and France have been put since the commenceni , int of the war. I sincerely hope that the Government of Aus tria is earnest in its endeavour to bring about a s ife and honourable peace—l hope it is in earnest in its desire to fulfil its engagements to support by active assistance the erideavoure of the allies to obtain a satisfactory peace, and that it intends faithfully to perform obligations thi e hepe of inducing Austria to contract which has cost tegland and France so much of precious time and valuable advan tage in their military operations. (Hear, bear.) My lords, we are now in the second year of this war, and throughout the whole of its progress we have been told over an.; over again that, although it was quite true that her Majesty's late Government and the members of the present Ministry had clung to the hope of peace longer, perhaps, tbsn they were even justified in doing, yet, that they ig i at all events, gained one great and important advantage from their singular forbearance, patience ' and long-suffering— namely, that they had secured, both as to active measexes and as to negotiations, the co-operation of Austria, and pro bably of Prussia also. Well, two years have since elapsed, and, according to the statement of the -noble earl to-aight, what does that co-operation amount to in the pursuit of which your vigour and enterprise were altogether checked, and for the sake of which you adopted a , ;ilatoty course of policy, which must greatly aggravate ties mis fortunes and calamities of war? At this mome:st, my lords, Prussia is excluded altogether, and even stands in an attitude of scarcely doubtful hostility ; while, on the other hand Austria, for whose support you have sacrificed so much, is now effectively an ally of Ruesia, and opposed to the policy of the Western Powers. An t. is still affects to entertain a hope that every means of ne;otiation is not yet exhausted, and she proposes by further attempts at negotiation, to continue—and no doubt with the same results—the same system of perpetu il procrastination and delay which she has pursued for the last two years. (Hear, heir.) My lords, we are now in the midst of the second campaign, and it is a matter of the utmost importance—it is, in fact, the essential groundwork and basis of all our future operations, that we should p rec i se ly k now i n w h a t position we stand, not only towards Prussia—for that is al ready pretty clear, I think—, but towards Austria likewise. This knowledge must have the greatest influence, not only upon the course we should take in negotiation, but upon the military operations of our army-. It roust have the greatest effect upon our conduct and plans to know whether or not we are to reckon on the hostility, the neutrality, or the active and cordial co-operation of the power and resources of Austria, and every day and hour that passes without our corning to a full and distinct understanding with Aus tria, and without our really knowing where we are and how we stand, seriously aggravates our difficulties and enormously increases our expenditure and our risks. (Hear.) Therefore, my lords, although Ido not wish to press the noble earl to make any statement which he may consider would be detrimental to the public service, yet I could not hear the explanation which he has offered us to night, leaving, as it clod, all the most important qus - stions involved in these negotiations in just the same state of un certainty, hesitation, and vacillation as they have pre sentedfor so long a period, without expressing my regret at listening to such an unsatisfactory statement - from a British Minister. This prolonged uncertainty is almost an equal evil to the avowed hostility of Austzil ; and therefore, however important it may be for us to lose no substantial prospect of obtaining a satisfactory peace, I trust that her Majesty's Government will take care, even al though deprived of the advantage of knowing what are the definitive views and policy of Austria, not to intermit the most vi g orous exertions for the pr osecu ti on o f t h e war, and not to suffer themselves to be diverted by these pro tracted and almost hopeless and illusory negotiations. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—My lords, it is not pos sible for her Majesty's Government to afford the noble earl opposite the information which he not unnaturally wishes to gain, with a due regard to the public interests. I trust, however, that they will be enabled to furnish it soon • but after what has fallen f rom th e no bl e earl, I cannot refrain from saying on the part of the Government that, althom h they have had a desire—a desire which indeed it was their bounden duty to entertain--to secure the co-operation of Austria, nevertheless they have not been induced, from any vain hope of securing that important advantage, to &lay the immediate making of those military and naval preparations which are essential to the proper conduct of the - war. (Hear.) Undoubtedly, no expedient has been left untried in the endeavour to obtain that degree of co-operation from other Powers which we had a right to expect from them ; bet during the whole course of tee ne gotiations, up to the conference which lately took place at Vienna, certainly not a d a y h as b een l os t i n the advance ment of those military preparations and efforts which might bring the war to a conclusion ; and while I main tain that it is our duty to avail oniselves of every fair chance of effectims, so desirable a result as a great Eurepean peace, I equally hold that up to the last moment we ought to relax none of our exertions for prosecuting the war with energy and spirit. With the protocols about to be leis' upon the table your lordehips will receive an account of the arguments, the discussions, and all the collateral trans actions by which the agreement, based upon those proto cols, was accompanied. Undoubtedly, when they are laid upon the table, a good opportunity will he ar.irded for the consideration of the negotiations which have taken place, with reference both to the part coeduet of the Government and to the future policy of this country, having in view the continuance of the war, if it should be necessary, in order to pi event the recurrence of those unfortunate niisconce-e ions which has thrown Europe into the state in which it, is now placed. The Earl of MALIIESTURY—As I ventured this other evening to express my humble opinion with regard to the propositions made to Russia, in the hope of bringing about a peace', and to state, my re gre t at the probability of a peace having been diminished by the nature of these pro positions, I will not now make any ob servations upon that subject. But I think there is some discrepancy between the statement which my noble friend has made toesight and that which he made in answer to me about a svee'e aeo, I then understood, li , th from what was stated by my noble friend and from what passed in another place, that her Ma jesty's Government an d the French Government," eupn..rte,l by Austria, and of course by Turkey, had proposed te Res the limitation of her fle.et, and sia two alternatives- o e' the other the nentralitnyofthtenßa Sea.talacskteme n t T t o h - l a that g i h t.'„,:sni 7, noble friend confined hi mself had not accepted the propositions which had been made to liar.

The subject then dropped, and The house adjourned at 25 minutes after 7 o'clock-. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. The Dundee and Perth and Aberdeen Railway 13i 1, Maryport and Carlisle Railway Bill, and the Oldham Gas and Water Bill were read a third time and passed. The following bills were ordered to be considered Kingston-upon-Thames Improvement ; Paisley Burgh ; and Birmingham Canal Navigation. PETITIONS. _ Petitions were presented by the Sheriffs of the city of London, at the. bar, on the subject of the Metropolis Management Bill, praying for the introduction of proper clauses into that bill for the maintenance of the just rights of the City ; by Mr. Pellatt, from the Co'ngrega tional Church, of Moorfields, against the endowment of Maynooth ; by Sir J. Duke, from the Commissioners of Sewers of the city of London, against the Metropolis Local Management Bill ; by Mr. Cowan, from Edin burob, against the Maynooth endowment ; by Mr. E. Ball, 2 petitions from Cambridgeshire, for the abolition of church rates; bv Sir W. Clay, a number of petitions from various parts of the country in favour of 612 bill , for the abolition of church rates. CORK AND BANDON RAILWAY. In reply to Lord BERNARD, ' Mr. WILSON said be believed there was no inten tion at present to use the Cork and Bandon Railway, so far as regarded the night mail. The Postmaster• General was in communication with the railway company as to a day mail, but as the sum sought by the company fax ex ceeded the value of the service asked, the proposition was not entertained. BLOCKADE OF THE WHITE SEA. In reply to Mr. COLLIER, Sir C. WOOD said instructions had been issued to blockade the ports of the White Sea. The vessels were ready, and had received their orders, and would proceed as soon as possible -the state of the ice would allow of it. DESPATCHES FROM THE CRIMEA. In reply to Mr. WHITESIDE, Sir C. WOOD said the Government must be allowed to exercise the most complete discretion as to coin municating the news received by telegraphic de spatches from the Crimea, and they had already com municated everything which they thought desirable for the public service. (Hear.) In reply to Mr. ROEBUCK, Sir C. WOOD said the substance of every telegraphic despatch had been already communicated to the house. Mr. ROEBUCK—Then, sir, Ishall move that another despatch be sent 'to Lord Raglan, requesting him to send some intelligence to this country as to the progress of the siege. (Hear.) COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY. Colonel NORTH asked the Under Secretary of War if it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to grant that part of the return moved for by the hon. member for Aylesbury which required, in each case, since the commencement of the war, the reasons to be given for which such commission was granted without purchase ? Mr. PEEL said there could be no objection to such return. PRACTICAL JOKES IN THE ARMY. Mr. STANLEY asked the Under-Secretary for War if it was true that Serjeant Brodie of the Ennirkillens was placed under arrest for preventing a duel being fought between two officers of his regiment, Cornets Baum- garten and Evans ; it Serjeant Brodie was reprimanded for his interference by orders of the Conlmao,der-in- Chief ; and if there was any objection to place copies of the charge preferred against Serjeant Brodie, and the terms of the reprimand sent from the Horse Guards ? Mr. PEEL said he understood the reason why Ser jeatt Brodie was placed under arrest was disrespectful conduct towards his superior officer ; and no reprimanc had been sent to him from the Horse Guards. INDIAN OFFICERS. In reply to Mr. OTWAT, Mr. V. SMITH said he believed, by the announce ment in the Gazette of Tuesday, granting the same rank to Indian officers as officers in the Royal Array, her Majesty would be entitled to command the services of Indian officers in any part of her dominions or else where. EDUCATION. . In reply to Sir J. PAKINGTON, Lord PAL MERSTON said he feared he could not promise to name any Government day before Whieum tide to resume the debate on the Education Bill, consis tently with the urgent and pressing business of we country ; but the Government would give him the earliest possible day after the Whitsuntide recess. In reply to Mr. HADFIELD, Lord J. RUSSELL said he should postpone the bill which stood in his name till the discussion on the bill of the right hon. bart. should be brought to a conclusion. In reply to Mr. M. GIBSON, who wished -to know if the three bills ma education could be sent to a select committee, Lord J. RUSSELL said he thought it desirable that each bill should be considered on its own merits before they were sent to a select committee. Sir J. PAKINGTON expressed bis willingness to have his bill submitted to a select committee: CONSTITUTION FOR VICTORIA. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that on Thursday next he should move for leave to enable her Majesty to bring in a bill for the purpose of granting a constitution for the colony of Victoria. POOR LAW (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. E. ELLICE moved the second reading of the above bill. In the course of his remarks he stated that, at present, poor relief in Scotland was limited to the aged, the sick, and the infirm, the able-bodied pauper being in no way entitled to parochial relief.' The act of 1845 in no way interfered with this limitation, and it left the pauper exactly where he was, so far as the defi- 1 nition "pauper" was concerned. But it established an entirely new system of parochial relief in Scotland. It established parochial boards, parochial rates, and gave power to build workhouses. It empowered the board to appoint an inspector to visit the paupers twice aryear, and to take care that they should be provided for ac cording to the intention of the act. It also required that those inspectors should report to the local board, which should in turn report to the central authorities. In short, it afforded ample machinery for benefiting paupers, if that machinery were properly put in motion. But it went still further. It took away from the pauper the right of appeal he had to a superior court of law, and it interposed a central authority between the pauper and his legal appeal, and no pauper could appeal to the court against the parochial authorities unless he had a certifi cate signed by that central authority affirming that the pauper had a good case of appeal ; and it was conse quently obvious that the real court of appeal was placed in the hands if the central authority. This central authority to which he alluded was called the Board of Supervision ; and if he could prove that this board had not acted up to its duty, and that the pauper had been defrauded of his just right and privilege, and that he was in fact in a worse position than he was previous to the passing of the act of '45 ; if he could prove that the board had, so far at least as the inajority of the population was concerned, entirely failed in its objects ; if he could prOve that paupers had no ade quate means of redress against injustice on the part of local authorities, and that no machinery whatever was in force or was ever attempted to be in stituted locally to see that the act was properly carried into operation, or to render the pauper secure in his abie lities under the law; If he could show that the pauper had been treated with absolute contempt, that his cenap , aints had been totally disregarded ; if be could show that at the eleventh hour, when serious consequences hest en eue,l, owing to i.o interference having been taken in due time, and that circumstances of a different character had compelled an inquiry to be at least made ; if he could prove that the reports made to that board were full of misrepresentations, which in duced the Government to believe that the act was in full operation, and that facts Ind been suppressed which, if stated, would have proved totally the contsary 1 imeression. If he could prove all this be thought he si'ouki succeed in making out a good case for the interference of the house, for its interference in a cause of humanity to protect the pauper from a state of things which was disgraceful in a civilised country. (Hear, 'war.) Now, some of these facts he could prove Loin returns made to the house and others upon the authority of individuals whose integrity and veracity were bey and question. Confinin; himself, now, exclusively to the Hi;hlandA of Scotland, he might state to the hoi...se that according to a return which he held in ids hand, in the case of three towns, between the years 1847 and 1851 no local inspection or local inquiry ,vbat ever into the working of the poor-law was made. (Bear). In the absence of that local inspection, what oicele of appeal was left open to the pauper. It was, of course, never intended to leave him entirely in the lime& of the local board, because the contemplation of the act was to protect the pauper against injustice on the part of local authorities who were ratepayers, and conse quently were obviously interested in getting off us cheaply as possible. Now, if, for instance, a pauper was denied relief altogether, what s a t i o )p t e h a e l had ho against that denial ? His only appeal wa . eel sherifftho s e v. m ,a o B u r n r t n tu u o v o e u d s and ari j s a c s a t t h te e re h d o tie m a districts, st t b h e e a n w ea a r r r hon. g entleman read an The B f i o t r a considerabletenot only m d tlC ie h te t r i i M ee e s a ; n T t d o i physical ea h which a e s x s er t v ti t e o e u n i , d but in that, in m som a some expense. se. in which it w extractone f instance ro a pauper had t o la• miles to reach the nearest sheri f f him.

The bill proposed that inspectors of character and position should he appointed to superintend the local administration of the Scotch Poor-law, having analogous powers with those exercised by the Poor-law inspectors in England. They should be personally wholly independent of the Board of Super , vision, and only subject to it as regarded instructions as to the way they should perform their duty. It was the object of the bill to secure a regular visitation of the different parishes, a month's notice being given Of the visits of the inspectors, who would have power to call for documents and examine persons on oath. He did not desire that any special power should be given them, but only that they should satisfy themselves of what was going en in the different parishes, and make reports to the central board, which might then interfere if necessary. As a check on the central board, be proposed that abstracts of the reports of the inspectors should be made to Parliament. The duty of the inspector would be not to interfere with the existing law, but to see that it was properly administered in districts removed from the influence of public opinion. He proposed that these inspectors should be appointed not by the central board of supervision—for such an ar• rangement would be useless after what had taken place —but by the Home Secretary. He understood that the Lord Advocate intended to oppose this bill, but if the learned lord would suggest any other course—if he would promise him a committee before which he could prove his case, he should be content. His only wish was to see justice done, and so long as the case am not evaded he should not complain. All the statements which he had made to-night were contained in printed papers lying on the table of the house, and they could not, therefore, be got rid of. In the face of such a sr ate of things, he could not conceive that any Government would expose itself to the odium of standing by idle, and he felt convinced that sooner or later something must be done to remedy, the evils which he had described. The LORD-ADVOCATE said in opposing this bill it would not be necessary for hint to follow his hon. friend through the details into which he,. had entered .for the purpose of proving his case. His hon. friend certainly entertained a very exaggerated idea with regard to the deficient administration of the Poor Law in Scotland. ' (Hear.) He had sat on the Board of Supervision in Edinburgh for some time as Solicitor-General ; and he ' could bear his testimony to the indefatigable zeal and in dustry with which Sir John M'Neill had discharged his arduous duties. 'As to there being any difficulty in the way of a pauper appealing to the board, he could assure his hon. friend that certain hours were devoted to the consideration of nothing else but these appeals, and that very frequently cases were remitted more than once to the parochial boards for their revision, because the cen tral board had not felt satisfied with their first decision. He was far from saying that the Scotch Poor Law was a perfect system—no Poor Law was, or could be ; but, considering the difficulties necessarily attending the ques tion, it certainly was not desirable to disturb the settle ment-made in 1845, without very good cause being shown. His objections to this bill were, first, that it did not seem to be in the slightest degree required, look ing to the powers already existing under the present ' act ; and, secondly, that it was not - in the least calcu lated to produce the effects which his hon. friend seemed to expect from it. By the llth section of the pre sent act, the Secretary of State and the Lord-Advocate, or either of them, had the power, whenever it seemed ' to them necessary, of compelling the Board of Supervi sion to appoint inspectors such as the hon. gentleman proposed to appoint—not being members of the board —to exareire into and report on the administration (1 the Poor-law in any part of the country, and the machi nery proposed by the hon. gentleman was perfectly un necessary. It was unfortunate that there was nu direct representative of the Board of Supervision in the house to answer the hon. gentleman's speech, though he did not think it was open to the strong charges which his hon. friend had made against it, The board had had an arduous task to perform, for there were many elements in Scotland to be taken into consideration—the famine, for instance, which bad occurred owing to the failure of the potato crop ; the evictions in various parts of the country, and the peculiar character of the pro p'e, all of which had ma le the administration of the P. or-:aw a work of considerable difficulty. In the cese in which he had directed an inquiry he had cer tainly disagreed from Sir J. 111.'Neill's interpretation of the law, which was to the effect that, unless a pauper ap plied to the inspector for relief, the inspector had no duty to perform towards him. If Sir J. M'Neill's interpreta tion was right, then unquestionably there had been no neglect of duty on the part of the inspector in that par ticular case, but, without doubt, though there was no application for relief, there was an amount of distress known to the inspector which he was bound to relieve. The point, however, was one deserving of very serious consideration. The machinery proposed by the bill was too crude to be introduced into the act of 1845 ; but whether an inspector was or was not bound to relieve distress and misery wherever he found it was a point which called for immediate attention. In the absence of Sir J. M'Neill he could not pledge the Government to any particular course, but he hoped his hon. friend would feel satisfied with having brought this case before the house, and would withdraw his bill, leaving the ques tion in the hands of the Government, to consider what ' further course they should take with respect to it. Mr. CHRISTOPHER congratulated Mr. Ellice on hav ing dragged to light a system of abuse and cruelty on the part of the parish authorities in Scotland which he was sure would not be tolerated either in England or Ireland. Some remedy must be found for this state of things ; and now that the hon. gentleman had done so much to bring the abuses to light, and as the Lord Advocate admitted their existence and promised a remedy, he would advise him to leavq the matter in the hands of Government. Mr. J. E. ELLIOT also advised Mr. Ellice to withdraw his bill, at the same time that he believed a remedy was much required, as the abuses referred to by his hon. friend existed in other parts of Scotland than the Highlands. Mr. C. BRUCE defended the conduct of the poor law inspectors in the Highlands, and quoted from the official reports several instances of perverse and contumacious proceedings on the part of the paupers in certain districts. As one proof of this, he stated that in the parish of Glenelg pauperism had increased from 1 in 70, which it was two years ago, to 1 in 15; showing that poor relief was more attractive to the poor than daily labour. He concluded by saying that if Government had not opposed the bill he should have felt it his duty to do so. Mr. DUNLOP denied that the rates allowed to Scottish paupers were so high as to induce them to leave their ordi nary labours. He recommended Mr. Ellice to withdraw the bill. Mr. ELLICE acceded to their united requests, believing that the question could be better dealt with by the Go vernment than by a private member. The bill was withdrawn accordingly. SUNDAY TRADING (METROPOLIS) BILL. The order of the day having been read for the second reading of this bill, Lord - GROSVENOR presented petitions, signed by 15,000 persons from all parts of the metropolis, iu favour of the measure. Petitions to the same effect were presented by Sir John Shelley, from Westminster; Viscount Ebrington, from Marylebone ; Sir W. Clay, from the Tower Hamlets ; Mr. Montagu Chambers, from Greenwich and Woolwich ; and Sir J. Duke, from the city of London, signed by 9,030 persons. Lord It. GROSVENOR moved the second reading of the bill. • Mr. WILKINSON felt it his duty to offer the objec tions he conscientiously entertained to this measure, which would interfere with all the operations of trrdo and inter rupt the pursuit of many avocations which had hitherto been exercised without prejudice to any one, and with advantage to the community generally. Ho could not admit that any religious principle was necessarily involved in this question. He regarded the measure as in feet directed against the interestsof the poor, and going beyond all propriety of legislation, though he should not insist on himself dividing the house against it. Viscount EBRINGTON supported the measurl, mainly on religious grounds, though quite prepared also toadvocate it on the lower grounds of expediency and political economy. They had been told by Mr. Bianconi that horses which 'rested on Sundays did more work in six days than others (lid in seven, and he maintained that the repose of the Sabbath was necessary both for man and beast. The pe titions iu favour of the bill were mainly signed by those who were suffering under the operation of the present state of things, whidi led to unf a i r compet i t i on b etween trades men, and to injurious treatment of workmen. He believed the amount of money spent and custom given to shop keepers would remain unaffected by such a measure as was now proposed. As regarded the labouring classes, he be lieved that six days' work with one day's rest was better than ono continuous round of labour during the Weak. The,Marquis of BLANDFORD supported the second reading of the bill, citing in its favour the committee which sat upon this subject in 1832. One most important matter which he recollected on the subject was the bondage which one class of tradesmen exerted on another in this question of Sunday trading. 314ny persons who would close their shops on Sunday were obliged to keep them open in consequence of others keeping theirs open. Now not:iing could be more advantageous than to relieve those persons from a tyranny most galling to their consciences. He was sorry to see that (no doubt, for good reason , ) this bill while dealing with the sale of other articles did not touch the sale of beer or spirits on Sunday. He congra tulated the house on the introduction of this bill, by pas sing whicb, he believed, they would take the course most conducive to the glory of God and the advantage of their fellow-subjects. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY agreed in the propriety of sending the bill to a select committee, and ho hoped that this attempt to check Sunday trading would be more successful than pre vious measures had been. It introduced no new principle, but merely attempted to remedy certain defects in the ex isting law. Under these circumstances 11 thought the discussion need not be protracted. Mni T. DUNCOMBE said the working classes had no desire to desecrate the Sunday; but necessity compered them to purchase their provisiens on Sunday ioining• and, before thi4 measure could work, they must alte r t h e system of paying wages late on Saturday ni g ht, an d they must also improve the dwellings of the poor. He thought this law, if passed at all, ought to apply to the whole country. He would prohibit all Sunday trading on all subjects, and applicable to all of the country Afterll o'clock, and he beNeved that would meet with universal assent. Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR supported the bill, and he believed that all the intelligent artisans of the metropolis were of the same opinion. Sir J. SHELLEY, objected to the bill being sent to a select committee. He found that both the tradespeople and the working classes of Westminster were in favour of the measure, and that it would be beneficial to both. There were portions of the bill to which he entertained objections ; but upon the whole ho believed it was a ra ;ikr p . J. tint - 1M and practical measure. Mr. M. CHAMBERS supported this measu re as an effi cient means of improving the condition of the workin g classes, and es p ec i a lly o f com p e lling masters to pay thei r wo eop at p Et a iL Tn reasonable o R E t o tn b e j a o t n t e S d aturday. certain details of , the bill, but would not divide the house against it. Mr. HADFI ELD urged upon the house the propriety putting upon the committee practical wen, who under stood the system of paying wages early, as that was nu essential towards the proper working of this hit) Mr. \Y J. Fox ~,pp„rt , bill 1 . 1. 1,:1d R h.. i reply, objt-eted to sending the bill to a select committee, which he was certain would only give the measure an intramural bud id. He under took the bill at the instance of the people whose interests it was intended to affect, and its *visions he might say were framed under their auspices. He hoped the house would not insist upon sending the bill to a select com mittee. Mr. MASTERMAN also objected to a select committee ; after which the bill was read a second time. Mr. DUNCOMBE then moved that it be referred to a select committee, which was the usual course in all ques tions of this nature. Mr. WILKINSON seconded the motion. Sir G. GREY said there was no rule of the house to send such hills to select committees, and the fate of former bills did not encourage his noble friend to follow that COUTO. Mr. DUNCOMBE withdrew his motion , and the bill was ordered to be committed on Wednesday, the 13th June. LAND AND ASSESSED TAXES DIVISIONS BILL. Mr. FREWEN moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to facilitate the formation of divisions for which meetings of commissioners of land or assessed taxes might be he held in this country, the present boundaries of divisions being inconvenient to the inh bitants of them Me proposed to give power to the Treasury, upon a . state ment made by five or more commissioners of land-tax for any county, to remove a parish from one division to another, where it might appear advantageous to do so. There were many cases in which much hardship was experienced from persons being compelled to go to a great distance to pay their taxes. The alteration he proposed was that, on a certain number of local commissioners making a represen tation to the Treasury, that they thou,ht a transfer neces sary, the Treasury, after making due inquiry, should have the power to order the alteration to be male. There were often cases of appeal against what were deemed eurehares, and every facility should be given in those cases for enabling the appellant to appear before the local commissioners. Ue hoped the Government would offer no opposition to the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not aware that any great inconvenience arose from the present system, and therefore was not disposed to agree to the second reading of the bill. What he understood the bill tofpropose was that itiiimald be competent for the local commissioners of any one division of a county to apply to the Treasury for the transfer of a parish from one division of a county to another, or even to another county ; but, as the rates varied in different counties this might be found a strong objection to the proposed alteration. If, however, the law were shown to be in any respect defective, he would be ready to bring in a measure to remedy such defect. Mr. SPOONER supported the bill, as he thonght that under the present system there existed inconveniences which, though not great in number, were very much felt in individual cases. The house then divided, when there appeared-- For the bill 35 Against it 125 ' Majority COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) BItILS. Mr. WHITESIDE prefaced his motion for the second reading of a series of bills for the reform of the Court of Chancery in Ireland by advertin g to the ben e fi c i a l resu lt s of the reforms introduced into the English Chancery, which these bills were intended to adapt, mutcais mutand is, to the former court. The first abolished the master's office alto gether. The second amended the practice and course of pro ceeding of the court upon the model of the English Court. The third bill altered the law relating to the appointment of receivers; it consisted of matter of law, which was as similated to that of England, and of matter of regulation. The fourth bill provided for the sales of estates, by en grafting upon the reformed Court of Chancery all that was good in the Encumbered Estates Court about to expire, and transferring the business of the latter court to the former, giving it the power to add to its decree of sale a pi:r liamentary title. As the business of the Court of Chancery would by these measures be increased, it was necessary to provide a local court of appeal, and this was the subject of the fifth bill, which did not create a new court or a single new judge, but would afford the suitor an opportunity of a re-hearing of his cause before the Lord Chancellor, as sisted b' retired judges. The last bill modified the stamp duties to meet the altered practice of the Court. Mr. J. D. FITZGERA f.,D said, if he thought that legis lation was required to work out the - wonderful reforms which Mr. Whiteside had described in his exaggerated speech, he should not oppose these bills ; but, believing that they would not accomplish those results, on the con trary that they would have an opposite tendency, and as it this moment, and when these bills were introduced, a Royal Commission was sitting to inquire into the subject, it was his duty to advise the house to reject them. Mr. Whiteside, however, bad described a system and rules that did not now exist ; abuses. to which he had allude 1, were reformed by the act of 1851, and they were now dealing with a new system. But there was not a suggestion con tained in these bills which had not been brought under the notice of the commissioners in December last, and which was not to be found in the printed questions they had cir culated. He assured the hon. member (Mr. Whiteside), however, that when he came to frame a bill upon the re port of the commissioners he should be ready to adopt any thing valuable in these bills, and would give the learned gentleman the credit of it. After a brief review of the bills, and a severe criticism of those for reforming the procedure, for the appointment of receivers, and for the constitution of an appellate tribunal. comparing their provisions with the suggestions contained in a draught report of the com missioners, he remarked that he thought the hon. member (Mr. Whiteside) would have acted a wiser part if he had contented himself with laying the hills on the table pend ing the report of the commissioners, and he moved to defer AllO second reading of the bills for six months. Mr. CATRNS suggested, as a medium course, that the further progress of the bills should he suspended until the house saw the recommendations of the commissioners. Mr. MALINS complained of the severe terms and sar castic tone employed by Ur. Fitzgerald in his criticism of these bills. Ho complained likewise of the use made by him irregularly, he contended, of a draught report of the commissioners—a confidential document. He defended the bills againstthe strictures of Mr. Fitzgerald, and gave them his most cordial support. Mr. KEOGH replied to Mr. Malins, awl proposed that the debate should be adjourned until the report of the commissioners was upon the table. He moved to that effect. After some remarks by Mr. HENLEY and Mr. WHITE SIDE, the debate was adjourned for a month. The Dissenters' Marriages Bill was read a second time. The Income Tax Bill was read a third time and passed. CINQUE PORTS BILL. This bill was read a second time, and the committee was fixed for Monday. ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM ' The committee re-asembled yesterday moruiug at the usual hour. Sir Thomas Hastings was recalled, and his examination was resumed by Lord Seymour. He in the first instance stated that he was not pre pared to say whether the requisitions sent to the Ord nance in June last for a supply of warm clothing, to be sent out to the East. were made verbally or in writing. Communications of that description from the War-office were frequently made verbally. When the Duke of Newcastle was in office, all orders were covered by a general sanction. In reply to Mr. Layard, the witness stated that he did not know whether there was any record of the in structions in his office, but there certainly was the record of the execution of these orders. By General Peel—When be did receive a written order for the warm clothing, he acted upon it without delay, as he was fully alive to its importance. By the Chairman—When a requisition of that sort was sent to you, do you think it ought to depend upon your memory when you are asked about its execution ? The witness replied that the record of it if sent would not be in his office but in the office of the Secretary at War. The Chairman—l suppose, therefore, if we sent there for it we can have it Witness—Undoubtedly. Examination continued—When this requisition ar rived he (witness) was in the country, but he was sent for, as the authorities at home said they were getting into a state of perplexity relative to the warm clothing. There was a difficulty Aleut enforcing a contract—but he informed the Board that it had been entered as a minute of the Board, and that it ought not to be quashed or rescinideti. He did: not inqidre into the cathe of this because it might have given — rise to ail unpleasant feeling. Lord Seymour—We are not inquiring into questions of unpleasant feeling. We wish to get at the manner in which business was transacted at the Board of Ord nance. Did you inquire why the contract was to be qua.bed ? Witness—No. The Chairman--Why did you not ! Witness—Ml I thought of was to carry out the con tract, and to insure a speedy and proper supply. Lord Seymour—l. wish to ascertain whether or not the contractor had received orders to stop the supply ? Witness—l believe be had. Lord Seymour—Did be tell you so ? Witness—No, he did not inform me himself ; but I inferred that he had bad orders to stop the supply from what Mr. Stacey, the storekeeper, told me. He told Me that the contract was stopped. Lord Seymour—Did he tell you on what grounds ? Witness—He did not. Lord Seymour—By whose order then was the contract stopped ? Witness—l cannot tell. The Chairman— Do you not, then, see what takes place, or have you to depend merely upon hearsay ? Witness—Generally I do not see what occurs under the Board. The contract might have 13;en stopped by Mr. Monsell, or by the united order of the Board. General Pee] here suggested that there were surely minutes kept of the proceedings of the Board, to which the witness might have had access. The Chairman—Do I understand that you ware not allower! to see the minutes ? Witness—Oh, no ! When any of us leave tot tn the minutes of the board are not forwarded to us. The Chairman—But when you came back you might have seen them ? Witness—Certainly, but I did not. I was s aisfied with what Mr. Stacey told me. I had no official: infor mation of the fact. Mr. Layard—But minutes are usually kept of all orders, are they not ? Witness—Minutes until lately were kept regal:: rly of all proceedings of the board ; but I will not undo rtake to say there is a minute relative to the matter no w be fore the committee. It was the duty of the cli Irk of the Ordnance to communicate with the Secretary for War, and he was in the habit of bringing verbal orders from the War-office, which were at once acted u); on—a course which was never used antecedent to tha time. These orders were binding on the Ordnance althout :h sent by word of mouth. I was then, and am still of o pinion that public business of that kind should always be re corded in writing ; and although the verbal order .of the Secretary for War was binding on the board, at thee same time I thought it was important and essential hat a written order ought always to be given, with a v eiTAr to its being properly recorded, and in case any question should arise, that the original order should be th ere to verify the execution of its directions by the board. In reply to General Peel, the witness stated that, under a Secretary at War no order of that i;ort, could have been taken except through his positive dire .itions. He did not think the abolition of that office w-.lg any improvement. By Lord Seymour--It was probable that the 'vhole proceedings connected with the contract being irre,pilar, no minute was kept. It resembled correi pondence rather than an official act. Some further conversation ensued respectin g the de tails of management at the Ordnance•office; and the quantities of warm clothing ordered last sumlner, altos which, The Chairman said—l have beard it s Fated that at hospital at Scutari socks of a size for children were issued to the men. Would that be possible, accord ing to your mode of conducting btisiness ? Witnets—lf we had proceeded as we do in ordinary times, that would hare been impossible ; .be tt in this case there was great burry and confusion. The Chairman—Do you think it possible that it occurred? Witness—lt is possible, but I do not t' I ;.ink it probable. The Chairman—Did you never hear of such an occur- rence ? Witness—l heard that the socks were not; of a full size. (Laughter.) Mr. Layard—Did you ever hear also that t he shoes issued to the men were not of the full size ? Witness—l think that is very possible. Examination continued—On the 7th Angus t he ap- plied to the Admiralty for tonnage for a large quantity of warm clothing. They did not reply iminedkiatE ly, as it is not the custom to reply until they had b (win ife at their disposal. They bad no tonnage at disposal until the 16th October. The Chairman—And yOu remained quiet all that tim« , ? Witness—l made no less than nine applications.. _ . Lord Seymour reminded the witness that several: ves sels, whose names he mentioned, had sailed with c lores in the interval spoken of by the witness. The witness said that in all probability they had con veyed stores of urgent necessity. Lord Seymour—Were they sent out in accor, knce with requisitions previously made to the Admiralty ? Witness—Most likely they were. Lord Seymour—Well then, after all, this sum ay of yours, although of so pressing a necessity that the 'ordi nary system of contracts was departed from in proc siring it, never went out until the 16th October ? Witness 7 -That is so. Lord Seymour afterwards, in allusion to the meC stores, said Dr. Smith had stated to the committee these stores were all supplied by the Ordnance ; and in quired when the witness was first made acquainted of the fact that the Ordnance would be called upon to al up ply the hospital furniture, &c., to the hospitals ? The witness replied that he could not say the em ict date without reference to some documents, but said he would inform the committee at a future time. nomination continued—He received several req:ii isi• tions from Dr. Andrew Smith relative to hospital fur oi ture and medical stores. Loid: Seymour—We are not speaking of Do,A cor Smith. I wish to know when an army of 10,000 13 en was ready to proceed to the East as early as Men , h, 1854, had you not been directed to provide hospital fi ir niture and stores. Was no requisition sent to i y 4 al, officially ? Witness —It is impossible to give a precise and. .1 .:fi nite answer to that questiou, without referring to my documents. Lord Seymour—Neat with regard to the tents, and what are called Quartermaster's stares, which, I bet eve, are supplied by the Orenance, how did you proceed The witness replied that there was a large quits tity of tents always in store—and was at that partit Dlar period—and they were at once, therefore, sent out.. Il e did not think any old tents were sent out, becauto the storekeeper had strict orders to examine their g .irea every year. If any old tents were sent out, the ri an sibility of the occurrence would rest up6n the store keeper of the depot from whiCh they were sent. 'Examination continued—When Dr. Smith req nsired any furniture or stores to be supplied from the Ordit ance be sent a requisition to him (witness) to furnish to and it was at, once complied with. He informed Dr. Smith at the outset that whenever he required I .ny tiling if he would Bend a requisition and state that the matter was pressing;or argent, he (witne ss ) would un dertake that the order should be complied with with out delay or difficulty--and sent out forthwith if there was no objection on the part of the Minister for War. Lord Seym , ,ur—Were you ever interfered wi tl in consequence of any objecti ons on the part of the IV Li ais- I ter of War ? W itness —No, never. The remainder of Sir Thomas Hastings' examir getion was of a rather desultory and generally uninter, ' , dog character, as it had reference chiefly to details 4 , the routine of business in connection with the Ordua,r) de . partmen t. he stated, in reply to the ebairman, that boo' autl shnes were ennsifxned to the Clrnrni.c.nr;q, sn ,l 'mere t ,i,.. (Z. q 11,1, ht; ~t. 0.3 Lad reiu,,e,i tai r •.-% the bouts and stl .e 3 no ha I guilty of a br e ach of duty. By Captain Gladstme—He bad received no infor mation to the effect that the boots and shoes hai been conveyed backwards and forwards in transports. By Lord Seymour—Officers in the Ordnance Depart ment frequently overstepped the strict line of their duty ; but if it appeared that they had acted with dis cretion no censure was passed upon him. The witness then went on to explain the system under which contracts were entered ipto by the Ord nance. -When a contractor did not properly supply any article he undertook, be was not afterwards employed by the Government. Mr. Layard—T have received a letter, in which the writer states that, a few days ago, he saw at the gun wharf at Portsmouth several bales of Winter clothing, for the Crimea. How.was it those goods were not sent out Sir T. Hastings replied that the Ordnance bad received orders not to send out any more winter clothing, and that the writer of the note might have seen some which had been detained in consequence of that order. The witness was then examined respecting the tools supplied to the troops, and in reply to Lord Seymour, who called his attention to the fact that several officers had informed the committee that the tools sent out were very bad, said that he believed the mass of t0.,1s was very good, with the exception perhaps of the bill-hooks. He had frequently seen cases in which tools which bad been condemned as bad had turned out to be excellent. He believed that the general officers who were leaving heard from the men that the tools were bad, and thus fell into a mistake. • Lord Seymour—lt has been stated in evidence that the tools at Chobham were bad. Have you heard of that/ Witness—No. Lord Seymour—General Bentinck informed us that a board sat upon the tools at Scutari. What was their report ? Witness—l have not seen a report. Lord Seymour—Captain Sbakspear has stated that he was president of a board at Yarns which examined into the tools, and that the board condemned them all ex cepting the pickaxes. The tools condemned were spade?, axes, and particularly bill-hooki. The Chairman—Are we then to assume that all the evidence which has been given relative to the tools being of bad quality, by military officers who have been exa mined, is incorrect ? Witness—l believe the larger proportion of the tools supplied were good. Some of the tools might have been bad. Mr. Layard—Are you aware that the tools were con demned at the time of the Portuguese exp,dition ? Witness—No, I am not. In reply to Lord Seymour, the witness afterwards said he wpuld at some future time furnish the committee with the name of the contractor for the tools and the price paid for them. He then went on to defend the qua lity of the tools, generally speaking, and cited carious documents in favour of the point. Tile committee adjourned shortly before forr o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EXCISE ACTS. The report was received, and leave was given to bringin a bill fon Jdcd thereon. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACTS. On the motion of Mr. PELLATT, copies were ordered of all communications addressed to district surveyors and others, by the authority of the chief commissioners of Works and Buildings, with reference to the 28th section of the bill for the amendment of the Metropolitan Buildings Acts, and of the replies thereto, in the year 1854, as to circular, curvilinear, and polygonal walls. Copies were also ordered of any reports or papers by a committee of professional persons appointed to revise the Metropolitan Buildings Acts by the Earl of Carlisle, when First Com missioner of Works and Buildings in 1848 and 1819. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. On the motion of Mr. WILSON, leave was given to bring in a bill for legalising and preserving the restored standards of weights and measures. The house adjourned at 20 minutes past one o'clock. DEFICIENCY BILLS.—A Parliamentary paper issued yest.rday shows that the amount of deficiency bills bear ing interest on the 27th of April was 2,470,0001., and the amount received in respect of the new loan of 16 000.0001., and lying unemployed at the same date, 1,600 0001. NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTIES BILL.—Two clauses have been added in committee to this bill. One enacts that periodical publications must be posted within 15 days after publication, and the other refers all questions which may arise whether a printed paper is entitled to the pri vilege of postage to the decision of the Postmaster- General, whose determination, with the consent of the Treasury, will he final. THE OXFORD PETITION AGAINST THE SUNDAT PEER BILL. —The petition from the city of Oxford, to both houses of Parliament, in favour of a .repeal of the new beer bill of last session, restricting the opening of puidic houses on Sunday, has been signed by 3.348 male adults, including the name of the mayor, the late sheriff, two aldermen, the coroner, and a majority of members of the town council. The Karl of Abingdon has kindly con sented to present it to the House of Lords ; and Mr. Langston, member for Oxford, to the House of Com mons. ' The petition is now in their hands for presenta tion.

Filly by Cotherstone—Delaine I walked over Good progress was made in the settling, whi c h was commenced in the morning. Mr. Howard, the owner (if Scythian, wins a large sum exclusive of the stakes, Mr. Parr, the owner of the second horse. stood to win nearly 30,0001. to a mere nothing. His friends Were also well on. The Noisy party were actuated by the strongest confidence up to the very last moment, but the recent signal defeat of their favourite strikinvly exempli fied the truth of the old adage about the "cup and the lip." In a word, it was not their day of days. Of the race itself, it may justly be said that the Chester . Cup was never more honourably contested. The sport to-day was marked by only one ireident of prospective importance ; the signal defeat of Corcehus and Claret for the Dee Stakes. After the race 1,000 to 5 was taken about Lord Alfred, and 1,000 to 10 about Noisy for the rerby. 40 to 1 was betted against the `• Dee Runners." The weather was very cold and wet, and the attend- ance of general company was consequently scanty. Several turfites returned to London by the expr-ss train, and were not a little surprised on passing Nuneat.n to find thetnselves'in the midst of a somswhat heavy snow storm. The country, in fact, presented a most wintry appearance, and was thickly covered with snow. •••••••••...... •••••••••••••••••••••••• , N 7 'F N} K ; ; '. .1 Mii. i ''.i.l).
