The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Duke of BUCCLEITCII presented a petition from the Presbytery of Lorn against the Scotch Educa tion Bill. The Duke of MONTROSE presented petitions agains the Scotch Education Bill. THE FIBRE COMPANY'S BILL. The Earl of HARDWICKE rose to move that in con sequence of the proceedings upon the Fibre Company's Bill having been superseded, by reason of the introduc tion of a general measure upon limited liability, anc: as there is now little prospect of such measure passing in the present session, it is expedient that the said bill be allowed to be read a second time. The noble lord said it was understood that the Limited Liability Bill would effect all that was asked by the Fibre Bill, and that it might be inconvenient to legislate on a private bill simultaneously with the introduction of a general measure on the same subject; it was considered but respectful to such an argument that it should be listened to. The session had now, however, so far advanced as to make it almost certain that the general measure cannot pass this year for want of time, it being only now in com mittee in the other House of Parliament, and it was therefore sought that the Fibre Bill must be allowed to proceed. His motion was based on two grounds ; Ist, The importance of the measure itself, front the very great public advantages it was calculated to promote. 2d, As respects the standing order 176 ; the very con siderable doubt whether that order was applicable to the Fibre Bill ; and the perfect impossibility of the promoters of the bill to comply with such order, and to conform at the same time to the r equirements and pro- visions of the Joint Stock Act, which now regulated the preliminary proceedings of all companies. The import ance of the measure might be gathered from the fact that it proposed to give powers for providing a remedy for one of the greatest wants of the present day, viz., the supply of a cheap material for paper. The prem.). ters felt that they could not find a better argument in support of their views than that furnished by the con tents of an article published in the last June number of the " Quarterly Review." It was entitled, " The Sup ply of Paper," and commenced thus : " The literary world is just opening its eyes to an im pending evil of no little magnitude—even a scarcity of intellectual food. Stubborn facts and figures warn us that, unless extraordinary efforts are made to avert the calamity, we shall soon experience all the inconveniences arising from the deficient supply and consequent high price of paper. Already a rise in price of one half- Penny per pound in that article has seriously affected our public journalists, causing a loss, it is said, to the " Times" newspaper alone of 10,0001. or 12,0001. per annum, and inducing the proprietors of that journal to offer a reward of 1,0001. to any one who can discover a new and readily available material. "The cause of our present dilemma is the increased consumption of paper without a corresponding increase in the supply of rags. In the five years from 1830 to 1834, both inclusive, the amount of paper manufactured in Great Britain was on an average 70,988,131 lbs. per annum. This was prior to the reduction of duty on first-class papers from 3d to its present equalised rate of lad. per lb. Tak ing the five years from 1849 to 1853, we find that the average annual quantity produced had risen to 151,231,175 lbs. The production of the year 1853 was 177,633,0091., being above 23,000,000 lbs., or 10,000 tons more than the preceding year, and requiring for i t prncluetiuu au ea:- cesa of not less than 13,000 tons of raw material. The re turn for the year 1854 continues to show an increase, caused by an increased export demand ; hut the amount does not greatly exceed that of 1853. The figures are 177,896,2211b5. Taking into account the higher price cf paper-making materials, it is estimated that the cost of production to our manufacturers during the present year will exceed that which the seine weight cf paper would have cost in 1852, by no less than 1,000,0001. sterling. " This increased consumption of paper in Great Britain is duo to the vast demands of our periodical literature, the more wide-spread ability to read and write among the lower classes, the cheapness of books and newspapers, and the facilities of communication by post." The deficiency was becoming soinuch greater by rea son of our supplies of flax and hemp from Russia having been considerably reduced in consequence of the war. From the thorough test which the proposed new flax material has undergone at a very considerable cost — from the fact that an edition of the Times newspaper has been published upon it—the fibre company was in a position to pledge itself that, should the parliamentary powers, sought by their bill, be granted, they would be able in a very great degree to solve the difficult problem, and to supply the pressing' requirement of a substitute for rags. The necessity far the adventure being carried out bi a company must be evident from a consideration of the magnitude of the operations required to produce a sensi ble effect, and the wide range to which they must ex tend ; indeed it may almost be said, that to supply a re quisite quantity of the new material for paper snaking would be as far beyond the capability and prudence of private enterprise as it would be to undertake to supply the - whole of England with bread from one individul purveyor. The noble lord then proceeded to comment on the st an di ng or d er, an d conten d e d t h at it was a t variance with the practice of the house, and therefore the bill ought to be read a second time. [LEFT SITTING.] SOUSE OF CO:NEVIONS-. --(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Airdrie Rural District Po• lice (No. 2) Bill ; East Kent Railway (Extension to •Dover) Bill ; and the Surrey Gas Bill, TENANTS' IMPROVEMENTS COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for resuming the discussion on this bill in committee, Lord PALMERSTON rose and said he felt bound to move that the bill be not further proceeded with this session. The Government had been prepared to yield their own opinions to what might be considered the general feeling of the people of Ireland, and they took charge e of the bill in the hope that it mi g ht pass this session ; which, thou g h it might not g i ve t h e tenant- right party all they desired, yet, on the whole, might injury upon so far satisfy one party without inflicting the other. But the Government had been very much disappointed in that expectation. The progress of the bill had been retarded by lengthened discussions and divisions in great number, and they bad now arrived a t a period of the session that he thought they might con clude, without any great st r etch of imagination, that the bill, the further progress o f which, it was announced, would be likely to be attended with further discussions and divisions, they could not with any law thisrationalsession.expecta tion look to it as likely to become This being a final day in the house for receiving bills from this house, and for the other reasons he had stated, he moved that the chairman report progress. (Hear.) Mr. F. FRENCH expresse d gre at astonishment at the course taken by her Alajesty's Government on this bill, whi c h he understood they had entere d i n to an arrangement with the Irish members, that they (the Government) would bring their whole force to carry. Mr. KENNEDY rejoiced that the bill was not to be proceeded with this session, because he believed it would inflict injury upo n the tenant class of Ireland. Mr. DUFFy considered that if the bill had passed it would have been a curse instead of a benefit to Ireland. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMOR,E defended the vote he bad given clau on this bill, particularly as regarded the 14th sb. Colonel GREVILLE approved of the conduct of the noble lord in withdrawing the bill at this late period of the session. He expressed a hope that another Irish bill (the Dwelling Houses Bill) which bad been intro right hon. gentleman, a late Secretary for duced by a Ireland (SirlV. omerville), would not be persevered in this session. Mr. V. SCULLY expressed great astonishment at the withdrawal cf the bill, a course to whi ch he begged to say he was no party whatever. After some observations from Mr. Kirk, Mr. Ma guire, Lord Naas, and Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, Mr. DE VERE regretted the postponement of this measure, because he believed it would give rise to the renewal of that agitation which had been the curse of Ireland. lie hoped after the explanation that bad been given by the noble lord at the head of the Government, the noble lord would recollect the pledge they had given on this measure, and would carry it out to the letter in another session if they were in power. (Hear , hear.) Mr. BRADY deprecated the course that had been pursued by the Government v‘itlo respect to this ma bure,and- felt no doubt that its withdrawal would create great discontent and di ssat i sfaction in Ireland. The measure was ealeulatedto improve the value of property in Ireland, and it was to be regretted that it should ; ke withdrawn, as it was a measure calculated to cement the people of the sister coontry to England. (Hear.) Mr. 2.1 . ..A.P1ER, felt afraid that, in th e state of circurn- 1 Lord PALMERSTON was determined to pass these bills in the present session, and he would divide the house upon the question of proceeding with them. Mr. VANCE had consulted with several commercial men upon the subject of the first bill, and their decided opinion was that it would turn out a dead letter ; and as to the second bill, it was generally looked upon as a measure to legalise fraudulent schemes. The committee then divided, when there appeared— For Mr. Muntz's motion that the Chairman report progress B9 Against it Majority for the motion —43 The CHAIRMAN then left the chair, and the house resumed, and leave was given to the committee to sit again on Thursday at 12 o'clock. NAVIGATION WORKS (IRELAND) BILL. The committee on this bill was postponed to Thursday at 12 o'clock. LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND) BILL. The committee on this bill was postponed. till Thurs day at twelve o'clock. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL. The committee on this bill was postponed till Thurs day at twelve o'clock. INVERNESS BRIDGE BILL.

This bill went through committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE (IRELAND) BILL. This bill went through committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. BURIAL OF POOR PERSONS BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. The house, shortly before 4 o'clock, adjourned to 6. The SPEAKER took the chair at 6 o'clock, but at five minutes past, after some unimpurtant rnatttr3 had been disposed of, the house was counted out. THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN HYDE PARK. INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE POLICE.—(THIS DAY.) The commissioners took their seats this morning at half-past 11 o'clock. The first witness called was Sir Richard Mayne, who was examined by Mr. Ellice. He stated he was a bar rister by profession, and bad been Chief Commissioner of Police for 26 years. He 'ladled experience in every kind of disturbance that had occurred in the metropolis during that period. His foundation for the arrange ments made on the let July was on what occurred on Sunday, 24th June. That meeting, and the subsequent ones, bad reference to a Sunday Trading Bill, to which he was opposed. A printed bill was extensively circu lated previous to the 24th of June, calling on the public to meet in Hyde-park and see how the higher classes observed the Sabbath. From that and other informa tion be expected a meeting would take place. He or dered one inspector, two sergeants, and thirty men to be stationed near the Marble-arch, and a few men to be 'mattered along by the Serpentine, but not so as to attract attention, and should any person persist in ad dressing the public to remove him as on ordinary am alone. By accident he went into the park about three o'clock, when he was attracted by the shouting and noise ernauat'ng from near the Serpentine. He went there and heard and saw the people yelling, hooting, beating their hats with sticks, the effect of which was to frighten the h orses go i ng a l ong t h e d r i ve. H e saw a p a i r o f horses in a carriage run away. The occupants of the carriages were in danger. The conduct of the people produced an i m p ression on hi s m i n d th a t it was highly d iscreditable, and of a most shameful character, calculated tonly tecauseaccident, but lead to a breach of the peace. or break the windows One sergeant informed him that the people had said they would make the people come out of the carriages disturbance,e Wien w erel• be sent for. lie caused a reserve of men to In all 1 superintenclant, 6 inspectors, 13 hoed in case ofa sergeants, and 213 n an t d h elpladrkmaennd werene i h i b ans o neighbour hood the park. The effect of the conduct of the people was cause wean athose nd in carriages to desist from ridi d drivi ng in the park. The day passed off without any collision beteen police. A person who Was addressingthe people and the that day was requested bythe the people police to de sist, but he declined to do so until consulted two friends. He ultimately csie h d e had be tween. the 24th of June and let of Jul several te printed bills %rem posted up in various parts of the metr p op m or eallin; ; a meeting on the Ist of July, headed, " The ls, Air e and Monster Concert," " Peaeeful OsterMn Meetite g• in Hyde-park every Sunday afternoon, Tyran nical A .ttack on the Liberties of the People," relating to the Sul iday bill, and detailing the proposed penalties for any in. • 'ringements of the bill.

Sir R.

The house had been asked to accept the bill as an instal ment. He objected to flic , adoption of any svch prin ciple. If they were to legislate on this question at all let them do so in a spirit that would set it at rest. He trusted the Government would, before next session, con sider whether the measure could not be made more efficient. (Hear, hear.) Mr. F. SCULLY thought the present had been a most useless discussion ; for, while they bad been talking about the withdrawal of the measure, and the provisions of the bill, they might, in the 2i hours occupied with such a discussion, have got through the committee en the bill, and adopted its clauses. After some observations from Sir W. Verner, Mr. Magnire, Mr. Whiteside, and Mr. Horeman, Mr. STAFFORD congratulated the noble lord at the head of the Government in bringing forward the bill and withdrawing it— (laughter)—and could only lament the exertions that bad been made fur a measure that had been now brought to its last gasp. The house then resumed, the chairman reported progress, and the order for the proceeding with the bill in the course of the present session was withdrawn. PARTNERSHIP AMENDMENT BILL. On the order of the day for the house going into com mittee on this bill Mr. BOUVERIE proposed to postpone the bill to 12 o'clock on Thursday, as at the present hour it was impossible to get through the committee on this mea sure and the Limited Liability Ball. Mr. GLYNN and Mr. MrTeam, deprecated the course pursued by the Government, and complained that mem bers had been brought down most uselessly to the house to consider a measure that it was evident the Govern ment intended not to press forward. Lord PALMERSTON was sorry that members had been inconvenienced in coming down to the house, but denied that the Government were to blame. It was his intention to proceed both with this bill and the Limited Liability Bill on Thursday, at 12 o'clock. Mr. HASTIE trusted the noble lord would not per severe with the bills, believing that they were dishonest in principle and totally at variance with the opinions of the public. Mr. J. G. PHILLINIORE hoped the bills would be persevered with, as he considered the best resulti would follow from them. Mr. CARD WELL would support the bills, for the purpose of having them well considered. He looked upon their principle as well founded, but they might require some alterations in their details. Mr. M UNTZ objected to both measures, especially the last, believing that they emanated from a Board of Trade that knew nothing about trade. Mr. HENLEY doubted whether any practical good could be accomplished by proceeding with these bills during the present session, because he believed that no one would say that there was the least chance of their passing in the present session. Lord PALMERSTON, considering that these mea sures would lead to great improvement in the law, must persevere with the bills, considering that there was plenty of time to discuss the great principles involved in them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GLADSTONE entreated the noble lord not to persevere with these measures, on the ground that there would not be time before the end of the session to dis cuss them fully. Mr. BOUVERIE believed the country was anxious these bills should pass, and that it was, therefore, the duty of the house to do all they could to persevere with these bills. Mr. MUNTZ moved that the chairman should re port progress. Mr. BROWN moved as an amendment that the chair man should leave the chair. ' Mr. GLYNN said there was no chance of proceeding with these bills in the present session, as they would doubtless be referred to a select committee. He trusted, therefore, the noble lord would withdraw both bills. Mr. BRIGHT said that wherever he went he was continually asked whether these bills were likely to pass. He believed the public were in favour of them, and he trusted the noble lord would persevere to press the measures forward, and if he did so he was sure he would be backed by the country, and that the House of Lords for the purpose of passing them would remit the strictness of their regulations with respect to receiving bills. to intimidate the Legislature and frighten members who : had taken a particular view with r e g ard to the Sunday I Trading Pil. ; and it was a fact that the following day Lord Robert Grosvenor, amidst significant cheering in the House of Commons, withdrew his bill. What oc curnd at Lord Robert Grosvenor's, he thought, showed the dangerous nature of the gathering, and its being likely to lead to a breach cf the peace. With regaid to persons addressing crowds, he should not consider them always as ringleaders. At Lord Robert Grosvenor's he considered it judicious that the police should be secreted in the houses adjoining, 80 that the people should not be attracted by them. Superintendent Hughes had • control of the men in the park, and he (Sir It. Mayne) considered it highly injudicious for a superintendent to whip ladies, or use improper language ; no rational man would make a rush at a body of people without first asking them to move on. It would be highly injudicious for a police man to reply to an impertinent observation made to him. In his commission to Superintendent Hughes be directed him to "act vigorously," leaving it to him how he should act. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said that inno cent persons, remaining where a riot was going on, were considered as partaking in it. The difference after the reading of the Riot Act wa=, that alter it had been read, and 12 remained, they were not only then rioters, but felons. Sir Richard Mayne endeavoured to explain that at one part of the park, where there was rising ground, it was impossible for the men to move the people, unless they ran up the acclivity. If he had known as much then as now he should have taken the same course he had with reference to bail. He had no idea whether the pr:soners were dukes, lords, mechanics, or the lowest classes. Mr. Commissioner Armstrong said, the police in spectors had a limited authority in taking bail, which was given them by the police act, and confined to the metropolis. He could understand now how it was pri soners were refused bail by the inspector on Sunday but bailed by them on Monday, because then the offence had been reduced from the serious one of rioting to one bailable by an inspector. Sir Richard Mayne, in reply to questions, said that Superintendent Hughes was fined in 1812 40,-;. for en tering a house without a warrant. A complaint was made against him by an officer of the Guards, for not doing what he considered his duty during the time the late Duke of Wellington lay in state. He was sus pended during the time the former case was before the Secretary of State, but after that he way reinstated. There is a regulation (except in special instances) that a policeman shall be dismissed the force after being con victed by a megistrate. 'With reference to the bail he gave instructions that bail should not be taken in cases of rioting and actual disorder, and in other cases, such as assault=, substantial bail should only he accepted. There were four cases of injury to the police, one was slightly cut on the bead, and the other bad his knee injured. The second number of assaults, &c., read by Sir Richard, in the former portion of his evidence, had reference to the Bth of July. Mr. Charke , Reed, police surveyor, has charge of the cells at the different metropolitan police stations. The cells of the basement are the original cells belonging t, the watch-house, and not being considered proper for the reception of prisoners were disused in general, and cells on the ground floor had been constructed in consequence. Everything had been done possible to give proper ven- , tilation. Mr. Chief-Commissioner Wortley said he thought it desirable the eitness should look particularly to the long cell, the floor of which was damp. Witness said that was in consequence of the material the floor was made of not absorbing the moisture quickly, when the cells were cleared out. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said that when the commissioners visited the cells yesterday at four o'clock the cell was then damp. Witness said trap pans were provided to the privies, and the water was turned on from the outside ; there were facilities for preventing these privies from becom= ing more annoying than under ordinary circumstances. The long cell was 18 feet long, 6 feet high, and 7 feet deep. The others were less in length. The lower cell was bad for ventilation, and was not often used. Mr. Chief Genmissioner rtley--There could be no doubt it must have been very hot on the night of the Ist, but he and the cominissicners had no idea anything was done purposely to make the cells uncomfortable. Inquiries would be male of the person in charge of them if they were kept properly cleaned, and were clean on this occasion. Mr. Reed said the authorities were looking out fora new station, but could not find a site. The Court was then adjourned till 11 o'clock to morrow. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) Lieutenant, vice William Charles Stewart Hamilton, pro meted. Ro3s, Caithness, Sutherland, and Cromarty Regiment of Ride Sinclair SatherEnd, Gera., to be Ensign, vice John Gibson, resigned.

SUPP LE:11 141‘1 TARY ESTIMATES. tion the superintendents bad obtained they had every reason to believe there would he a large meeting on the Ist of July in Hyde park. He received them on the Friday previous, and that with the statements he read in the public papers caused him to communicate with the Secretary of State, when a notice was issued cautioning the people against assembling in the Park on the Ist of July. It was posted on Satur day afternoon and evening, and on Sunday morning at all the entrances to the Park. The notice received the sanction of the legal authorities, and of the Secretary of State. The notice was read stating the illegality of such a meeting, and called on well-disposed persons to abstain from going there. Chief Commissioner Wortley—When a disturbance is anticipated, is it not usual to have a royal proclamation? Sir R. Mayne—No ;he had never known a Royal proclamation issued under such circumstances. He then read the police notice he issued to the body, dated June 30, 1855. One inspector, 2 sergeants, 20 con stables, were to be stationed at half-past 9at Lord Robert Grosvenor's residence, and remain until 11 o'clock, and then, if all were right, to return toVine-street station ; patrols, however, to be in the neighbour hood of his lordship's house at an earlier hour, and observe if any persons were likely to .as semble there or cause a disturbance, and report immediately to the inspectors if anything occurred. A similar precaution was to be observed at 2 o'clock; and later four superintendents, six inspectors, 24 sergeants, and 250 men were to be stationed at different places in Hyde-park, who were instructed to act in accordance with the printed notice ; and any person addressing, or attempting to address, the people, shouting, or acting calculated to create a disturbance or frighten horses, to be cautioned as to the consequences, and required to desist. If not desist to be removed, and, if necessary, taken into custody and sent to Vine-street Police-'.ta tion. Persons standing at ease or sitting down on the grass were to be requested to move about. Reports were to be forwarded to the Commissioner's office. Su perintendent Hughes, in consequence of the absence of Superintendent May, his senior, had charge of the force in Hyde-park, and was directed to report to the Com missioner every half-hour. Superintendent Hughes joined the H division in 1830, was promoted sergeant in 1831, inspector in 1836, and superintendent of D division in 1844. At 2 o'clock he reported all was quiet and but few persons about ; half-past 2 o'clock all perfectly quiet, at present very few persons about and those orderly. 3 o'clock. Since I last reported the number of persons have increased, and are wending their way to the receiving house and waiting about on the grass on the north side of the Serpentine. All is quiet—no speakers ; half-past 3 o'clock, there is considerable noise and commotion near the receiving-house by large numbers of persons assembling there. A reserve of fifty men has been sent for from the Marble Arch. 4 o'clock.—Large numbers of persons are about, and several have been taken into custody. It has been found necessary to dis perse them by force from the railing. No accidents have yet occurred to horses or carriages. Very few passed the receiving-house. Half-past 4 o'clock.—The number of persons do not seem to increase ; occasionally shouts arise. 12 prisoners have been sent from the re ceivirg-house. Very few carriages and equestrians pass the receiving-house. 5 o'clock.—The numbers are not on the increase near the receiving-house. Six teen persons, or more, having been seen sent away in cabs to Vine-street, has produced effects. (Laughter.) There is not so much noise as there wag. The numbers in the Park I expect will shortly greatly diminish, and not require harsh interference. Half-past 5 o'clock.—The number of persons in the Park is diminishing. Few carriages are passing, and it is quieter than it was. I do not see much necessity for the police to actively interfere. 6 o'clock.—The number of persons in the Park is sensibly diminishing every quarter of an hour, and the police is sufficient for every thing. All is quiet, no noise or shouting, and by 7 o'clock no doubt the Park will be deserted. 50 prisoners have been taken to Vine-street station. 7 o'clock.—All is quiet in the Park. No persons are now arrested ; and by Bor quarter-past 8 o'clock I think the police, except 50 or 100 might be sent away. The greatest number present is estimated from 40,000 to 50,000. 8 o'clock.—At 20 minutes to 8 o'clock appli cation was made by a sergeant from the Magazine Bar racks for a number of police, as the people were pelting the soldiers with stones. 50 men were in stantly sent. All is crow quiet, and I intend to dis miss the men of the S T and G divisions at 9 o'clock, and the others gradually after that hour. ' In reply to the above reports, and from information he obtained from the messenger, who was a policeman in plain clothes, he sent back instructions to Superintendent Hughes. One was to disperse all attempted rioting, and another was that all persons who took part in the shouting, or causing any disturbance, or encouraged others to do so, should be removed at a distance from the carriage way. Any assemblages or groups of persons of a disorderly character to be dispersed. He received another report from another inspector relative to the stoning of the soldiers. He received a report, dated half-past six o'clock, from Superintendent O'Brien, who had charge of the police in Park-street. It stated that a riotous mob of about 4,000 persons had assembled in Park street from the park in front of Lord Robert Grosvenor's house. The police soon dispersed them ; but he was sorry to say that whilst doing so some were hurt. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—What do you un derstand by that ?—Was it the police or the people who were hurt I Sir R. Mayne—Some of the people ; but some of the police were likewise injured. The report further stated that no prisoner had been taken to Vine-street previous to their arrival. All was then tranquil. A return he had made from the charge-sheets showed that 10 per sons were apprehended for felony ; 20 for assaults on the police, of whom 9 were discharged, 5 of them by entering into their own ree egnisances ; 18 for re sisting the police, 13 of whom were discharged ; 24 for throwing stones, none of whom were discharged. He found that, connected with the proceedings of the Ist July, 4 police were assaulted ; 1 struck in the back with a stone slightly, 1 knocked down by a blow on the head, and slightly cut ; 1 thrown down and slightly injured ; one eye blackened from a stone thrown at him. Sir Richard then read further 45 assaulted, 7 kicked, 25 struck with stones, and 13 struck with sticks and pieces of hurdles. One prisoner rescued, but not injured. He considered Superinten dent Hughes eminently qualified for such a duty as that on the Ist of July from his antecedents, and Sir Richard entered at length into his past services, observing that public bodies had petitioned for his services on account of his tact and judgment where large num bers of persons congregated. The stewards of Ascot recently presented Superintendent Hughes with 101. gratuity for his services at the races over his expenses. Every policeman has a book of regulations presented him before his appointment, and he belongs to a pro bationary class, where he is questioned as to their regulations, before he goes on duty. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley asked Sir Richard, seeing that in the regulations inspectors had the power of taking bail in cases of petty misdemeanour, or offences of summary conviction, how it was that bail was refused to persons apprehended on the Ist of July ? Were any special instructions regarding bail sent by him to the police-office ? Sir R. Mayne—There were. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—What were the instructions ? Sir R. Mayne—At 10 o'clock on Sunday night the superintendent of Vine-street station sent to know, as the cells were crowded, if he Might remove some of the prisoners to Marylebone station. He was at that time speaking to an inspector as to the propriety of taking bail, and he (Sir R. Mayne) thought, from looking at the act, that the persons in custody, being apprehended for rioting, did not come within the meaning of the act relative to bailable cases. At that time probably the parties might have been charged with the serious offence of rioting. It was no until after consul tation with the law authorities that he knew how the prisoners were to be charged. It was a matter of pru dence, and not of law, that made the charges of summary convictions, that the feeling of excitement might sooner die away. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—On Monday night bail was taken Were any fresh instructions given ? Sir Richard Mayne—No, none whatever. He pre sumed then it was known the persons were to be charged with minor offences. He had seen no occasion to alter his opinion. It was not his duty to inspect the cells in Vine-street ! The station was•the old watch-house, and had been much improved of late. The cells were neces sary for ordinary purposes. • Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said the commis sioners had inspected the cells, and considered them in tolerably good, condition. They were small and dark, but many of the witnesses they thought had been mis taken as to the ventilation. Mr. Commissioner Armstrong—The long cell it ap pears to me, can never keep dry. Sir Richard Mayne said he must refer the Commis sioners to the surveyor with reference to the state of the cells. . • ditauhylreserves placed near _...... Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He received no communication from the Home-office in particular relative to the arrangements he made other than the issuing of the notices. No orders were given him in writ ing, because it was not usual to do so. Mr. Mitchell—As to carrying out the police arrange menti do you take the responsibility on yourseif? Sir It. Mayne—The question is so comprehensive I cannot understand it. Mr. Mitchell said be thought Sir Richard was inclined to fence with his question. Sir Richard Mayne said he was not. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said he thought that 1 w w a o s ul n ad o rl t ,ri the case. Sir Richard had been questioned as to b his instructions, which were of a confidential manner to Parliament, stated no him and the Home-office, who was responsible ment, i\, a i n a d y i n t e was not to be expected Sir Richrud p 4: On Sunday, Richardethean2 thfs were of the notice e c h on u fidential communications. He u‘nnvo specific directions given by the Secretary of State. said that with the exception of the received no special instructions. he had about 30 men in the instruc tions were given to prevent carriages at hand- No the park. Arrangements we c r arriages from going into made on the 30th June to prevent a meeting taking pl e ace when he went to the park and saw he was amazed . d saw the turn it had taken and the people hooting. If he thought he might have had a thousandg. men necessaryi n the park in two or three hours. Although he had but 120 men in the park that day he had a sufficient force a hand to inter fere if necessar y . There were instances of violation of the law on that day, but the police did not take the persons into custody, because, he being present, did not order them to do so. He thought it would not have been judicious in him to have had no larger force on the Ist July on the ground than on the 124th of June. That number could not have kept the park in order on Ist July, but would have resulted more seriously. He looked on the Ist of July as a meeting At the Court at Osborne Heise, Isle of Wight, the 21st clay of July, 1855—Present, thi Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council—This day tie Right Hon. Sir William Henry Maule, Kut., was, by her Majesty's command, sworn of her Majesty's Most Hinourable Privy Council, and took his place at the Board accordingly.
