Last evening her MAJESTY'S Government expe rienced a defeat upon a question of vital importance— s question relating to the radix of administration. Upon the introduction of his promised motion on the present system of taxation and of public expenditure, Mr. B.BISRY DnximmoND obtained a majority of three in his favour out of a House of 139-68 voting for, and 71 against the amendment introduced by Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR. Now, taking into con sideration the rapid by approximating close of the session, and the thinness of the attendance in the Commons, we are ready, of course, to acknowledge that the triumph, though distinCt enough in itself, is very far from being, in any degree, decisive. Still it is entitled to some degree of attention from its peculiar significance, from its being indicative of a disposition on the part of no insignificant division of the Parliament to require a searching revision, and ultimately a complete re-organization of the existing mode of taxation and expenditure. The purport of the motion introduced by the Honourable Gentleman the Representative of West Surrey cannot be regarded even by the most radical reformer of finance as in any respect ambiguous. Its different clauses are sufficiently explicit condemnatory of the "amount" of taxation as larger than is actually re quisite for "the good and efficient government of the " United Kingdom , " and of the mode" of ta xa ti on , as pressing lightly on the wealthier and heavily on the poorer portions of the population. It denounced, moreover, in so many words the enormous sums con sumed " in supporting needless places, extravagant, salaries, and unnecessary works and establishments." Although the Honourable Gentleman disclaimed from the outset any intention to make a direct charge exclusively against the ruling statesmen—the evil of which he complained having arisen many generations before the birth of the one which witnessed their accession to power—it was evident that, no other attitude could be assumed by the organs of the Cabi net but that of the defensive. The interests of the present are identical with those of all the preceding Governments—these interests being the interests of patronage, place, and emolument. It was incumbent , therefore, upon the Right Hon. Baronet the CHAN • cELLo a Of the EXCHEQUER to deliver precisely the speech as that pronounced by hhn last evening, in an swer to tb wporsions cast Lt the policy of which his of ficial ri n k rendered him for the time being the advocate. It was very far, however, from be;ng incumbent upon the majority of the representatives present to declare by their votes their disrelish for the ancient and pre vailing schemes of national taxation and public ex penditure. Mr. DRUMMOND must, nevertheless, judiciously abstain from claiming for bis arguments anything at all approaching to the characteristic of novelty. Those especially in which he demonstrated the odious and glaring injustice of class legis lation, as instanced in the relative propor tion of taxes imposed upon the richer and poorer divisions of the community, are familiar to the mul titude, in consequence of their endless repetition. That the olden system of taxation was in the highest degree unjust—that that injustice consisted princi pally in the exorbitant imposts inflicted upon the labouring classes, as compared with the imposts levied upon their superiors in wealth—that this was shown in the tax of 10 per cent. levied on the cottons worn by the upper classes, and the tax of 50 per cent. levied on those cottons, which, from their comparative cheapness, were used by the working population—that the same monstrous ar rangement warshown in the duties imposed on beer, on wine, and on leather (leather being taxed according to the pound weight, wine being subjected to a pay ment of 100 per cent. ad valorem duty, and 150 per cent. being fixed upon beer, the common beverage of the labourer)—that this execrable and unjust system had been bolstered up by a variety of aristocratic in fluence was all known well enough to the masses long before the light of truth upon this particular dawned upon the imagination of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for West Surrey. Neither did it re main for Sir CHARLES WOOD to announce to the people of the United Kingdoms that " the tendency of all recent fiscal legislation was to abandon the ad valorem system and to impose fixed duties on all commodities." But it did remain for a majority of the House of Commons to avow as distinctly as it did yesterday, that the nation still regards with im patience the fact that the principle of taxa tion, by which the relative amounts have been fixed, have not yet been entirely abandoned. That there does exist the tendency spoken of by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER no one presumes to gainsay ; but what the population requires is, not a tendency to reform, but reform itself. The "ten dency" of the reforming policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administration was recognised in the aeries of great innovations which gradually led to his grand measure of 1846. The " tendency" of , the re forming policy of Lord JOHN RUSSELL S Ad ministration is guessed at only thr ough the dubious atmosphere of p art y platitudes and official ambiguities. In the former Government we could recognise the development of a grand effort for the amelioration of the industrial classes. In the latter it is as impossible to conjecture the purpose of the policy of the Ministers as it is to conjecture the next pattern in the shaken beads and glass splinters of a kaleidoscope. It is because of the miserably du bious position occupied by L or d J OHN R USSELL an d his colleagues among the number of Reformers that they occasionally find themselves, as they did last evening, in an ignominious minority. Besides the public meeting to be holden on Mon day at the London Tavern, it will be learnt with satisfaction by those who sympathise with ourselves in the cause of the Hungarians, that strenuous efforts are making by a portion of our hereditary and repre sentative Legislators to protest against the apathetic policy of her MAJESTY'S Government. A Memorial, addressed to the Ministerial advisers of the SOVE REIGN, is now in progress of being signed by Mem bers of both Houses of the Imperial Parliament — and, be sure, among those signatures the names of the noble-hearted representatives who con stitute the Hungarian Committee occupy a very conspicuous position—in which Memorial the attention of the Ministry, is forcibly directed to the unholy coalition between the Austrian Imbecile and the Russian Autocrat, against the liberty of the population, and the integrity of the dominions of Hungary. It demands, moreover, in energetic lan guage that the Government shall at once clearly and strongly express its disapprobation, if not horror, at this unjust aggression on a people whose noble conduct excites the sympathy of all Europe. The public will be, moreover, interested to learn that this able and powerful Memorial—conceived in a spirit so generous, and conveyed in terms so emphatic—is understood to be the produc tion of a very distinguished nobleman—the Earl of FITZWILLIAM. Through the medium of this Memo rial, of these public meetings, and of our pecuniary Testimonial, the people and the Parliament of Eng land will be enabled to declare their sympathy for the Hungarian cause in tones loud enough to set at defiance the repressive influence of the Government. A paragraph will be found in another part of this evening's impression formally contradicting the statement that Mr. JAMES PARKER, Q C., had con sentA to become a candidate for the repre sentatio❑ of the city of London. We can not be in any degree surprised that such a very silly project has been abandoned, when we know that the requisition to Mr. PARKER, calling upon him to stand forward on the hustings at Guildhall as the organ of the Protectionist interests, received only four signatures at the Queen's Head in the Poultry ! and only five signatures in the Grand Committee Room at the London Tavern ! Nine sup porters being all that the Conservative cause could muster in a long summer's day in the heart of the city of London! Surely, this is a new version, or rather a travestie of the Midsummer Day's Dream. rilE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday The Assembly on Wednesday granted the necessary authorization fur the prosecution of MM. CoMMIs- SAIRE, CANTAGREL, and KaiNiG. • The National has the following : " The Prince of CANINO (CHARLES BONAPARTE, the son of LucIEN), ex-President of the _Roman Consti tuent Assembly, was yesterday arrested at Orleans by order of the Ministry, just as he had arrived at that city from Marseilles on his road to Paris. It is re ported that he is to be transferred to the Chateau of Ham. The same journal states that a serious collision, attended with loss of life, had taken place in Corsica, between a battalion of the Garde Mobile stationed in that island and certain of the inhabitants, who were offended at the language in which some of the Gardes Mobiles had spoken of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, their country man. The Assevablie Nationale proposes to plant a new colony, in which all the political exiles at present re siding in France shall be invited to settle. The National Guard of Beaumont and of Aubien, in the Auvergne, have been dissolved by a decree or the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The Committee to whom the demand for the pro rogation of the Assembly was referred has reported in favour of that measure. The Permanent Commission of Finance has been definitely constituted. M. BERRYER has been named President, and M. GoniN Vice-President. MM. DE CRASSELOUF, LOUBAT, and BODET have been elected secretaries. The debate on the laws of the press is fixed for Saturday. M.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. The Prussian Moniteur of July 17 says : " We are able to make the following communications relative to the treaty concluded on the 26th May between Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover, and proposed to the other German Governments. The formal adhesion to it of the Grand Duchy of Baden and of the Duchies of Ankalt - Bembourg have also been received from the Grand Duchies of Hesse Darmstadt, Saxe Weimar, Mecklen burg Strelitz, Oldenburg, and Nassau. The Govern ments of the Electorate of Hesse, and of the Duchies of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, Saxe-Meiningen, Saxe•Altenburg, Anhalt-Dessau, and Cotken, and the tree town of Bre men, have plenipotentiaries at present at Berlin negoti ating terms of accession. Brunswick will also soon send a representative on her part. The sittings of the Council of Administration of the Allied Governments, in which the Baden plenipotentiary Meysenbourg takes part, con tinue regularly." The following are the terms of the armistice agreed on between Prussia and Denmark : " A suspension of hostilities, both by sea and late=j, for six months, is agrenl to. At the close of this period the armistice, it not to be renewed, is to cuntinae six weeks longer. The Prussian and German troops are to be withdrawn from Jutland within twenty- five days after the ratification of the armistice, and to take up the position assigned to them in the articles agreed on. The Generals on either side are to agree upon a line of demarcation extending from Flensburg on the south to Tondern on the north. During the continuance of the armistice Prussia is allowed to keep 6,000 men on the south side of the line. The part of Schleswig which is to the north of the line is to be occupied by 2,000 neutral troops. The King of Sweden is to be requested to furnish these troops. • The King of Denmark is to bear the costs hereby in curred. The islands of Alsen and Aroe are to remain in the occupation of the Danish troops. The blockade is to be raised as soon as the German troops have been moved to the south of Flensburg. The orders fur their retreat, and for the removal of the blockade, are to be issued at the same time. The captured vessels, with their cargoes, are to be restored on both sides. It the cargoes have perish perished compensation is to be made. The contributions in money and horses exacted in Jutland are to be repaid. "Commissioners are to be appointed by both parties to estimate their amount, and it they cannot agree, an English commissioner is to be tidied as umpire. All prisoners are to be exchanged at Flensburg within twenty-five days after the iatitication. During the continuance of the armistice the Duchy of Schleswig is to be governed by a commission, of which one member is to be nominated by the King of Denmark, one by the King of Prussia. The Queen of England is to be re quested to nominate a third member, who is to decide in all eases when the other two cannot agree. The com mission is to govern in conformity to the existing laws. It is empowered to repeal all laws enacted since the 17th of March, 1848, of which it does not approve. It can call out the troops stationed in the diff,rent parts of the duchy, for the purpose of maintaining order. It is, in concert with the King of Denmark, to decide what fisg the ships of Schleswig are to sail under. The rest of the German states are to be invited to accede to the armistice, and on their accession they are to be admitted to the benefit of all its provisions. The ratifications are to be exchanged within eight days." AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The news from the seat of war continues to be of the most contradictory character. The official Gazette of Vienna announces the occu pation of Oren by a corps of partizans, commanded oy Major HUSSEIN, who found both Ofen and Yesth deserted by the Magyars. It also announces the entry of PASKEWITCH into Pesth; yet the same offi cial journal states that on the 6th KOSSUTH returned to Pesth, where he was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The orders of KOSSUTH. in his. proclamation to the Hungarian people are carried out to the letter. The Hungarians have buried their corn and their other provisions, and have driven their horses and oxen into the forests and mountains. The consequence is that the Imperial armies have neither provisions nor means of transport sufficient. All their provisions have to be sent to them from across the frontier, and from Presburgh to the head-quarters of the army; there is not a single change of horses, oxen, or beasts of burden to be had. It is said that Daatntriaiu has effected a juncture with GEORGEY at Gyongyos. The report of the defeat of JELLACHICH is con firmed; thus the circle in which the Hungarians were to have been "hemmed in" is broken. The Wanderer states that BEM has collected all his troops near Sz?gedin to make head against the Russians. SCHLESWIG-HuLSTEIN. SCHLEWIG, JULY 16.—A very full meeting of the Legislative National Assembly was held this morning to receive the official communications rela tive to Denmark and the Duchies, which were brought from the Cabinet of Berlin by Major VAN MANTEUFFEL. The most profound attention, not unmixed with reiterated marks of disapprobation was exhibited by the audience during the reading of the three documents, viz., a letter from Count VAN BRANDENBURG to the legislative Government, the protocol relative to the preliminaries of p•-ace, and the conditions of the armistice agreed upon beween the King of PausstA and the King of DENMA RR, and concluded at Berlin on the 10th ult, The protocol consists of five articles, and the convention of the armistice of fourteen. The Stadholdership of Schleswig has addressed a written answer to these documents to the Prussian Government, protesting that the treaty was founded erroneously, and that the renew al of the b - )r.d, which tormerly connected the two Duchies, would be fraught with the most fatal consequences.—Hamburgh Papers, July 17. ITALY. Intelligence has been received from Rome to the oth instant. General OupiNor, it is said, complains much of the manner in which he is Heated by his Government. The orders he receives from the Minister at War cud the Minister for Foreign Affairs respectively are of so contradictory a character that he finds it sometimes quite impossible to reconcile them. Several of the members of the old Papal Camarilla, including Cardinals BERNETTI, UGOLINI, and the notorious ANTONELLI, have returned to Rome. The Governor of Rome has established himself in the Palace Torlonia, and Colonel CHAPIUS, who is appointed Prefect of Police, has taken u p his resi dence at the Palace Madams. Several persons have been arrested ; among their number is Signor Accuusi, late Envoy from the Roman Republic to Paris. GARIBALDr was, it was said, at Civita Castellana. The Roman Dragoons have refused to serve the French. General WIMPPEN has joined the circle at Gaeta. SICILY. - - - - - - It is said that General FILANGIERI kas refused to return to Naples until the KING shall have fulfilled the promises made to the people of Palermo, and on the taith of which that city surrendered. VENICE. The siege operations against Venice have been dis continued, in consequence of the fatal prevalence of fever and sickness among the Austrian troops, occa sioned by the excessive heat and hard work. The batteries were reduced to silence and the activity of the besiegers is limited to the establishment ot'a strict blockade by land and sea. In this way it is thought that the reduction of Venice may be procured without further bloodshed. MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY CORN - EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. A slight increase has taken place in the arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week. To-day the show of samples, several of which were the refuse of Monday, was moderately good. Very few buyers were in attendance, and the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was exceedingly heavy, and, where sales took place, prices were the turn lower than on Monday, without effecting a clearance. Only 4,720 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand; but several large cargems are shortly expected from the Black Sea. Se lected qualities were heavy at about stationary prices, but all other kinds were somewhat easier to purchase. Owing to the large arrival of foreign, the Barley trade was heavy, at a decline in prices of Is. per quarter, and no progress could be made in sales at that amount of de pression. Malt, the supply of which was small, sold slowly, at unaltered currencies. Very few English Oats were on show, but the supply of forei gn was l arge , 24,060 quarters.

From nearly the whole of tbe. plantations in Sussex and Kent, our accounts agree in stating that a poor prJspect is held nut to the planters this year. Although the fine rains of the present week have been very bene fieial to the bine, a limited growth of Hops is pretty generally anticipated. Our market is, therefore, firm for all good and fine Hops, at further improved rates; but the actual business doing is not extensive. In old Hops very few transactions have taken place.

The supply of Beasts on sale in to-day's market was very small, and of but middling quality.

There is but little business doing in Mark Lane to day, and wheat is Is. to 2s. lower nominally. The ar• rivals are 4,720 quarters of wheat, 14,970 of barley, and 24,060 of oats. ' The Produce Markets have been rather quiet this week, and the supply of sugar and some other articles is fuller. Indigo has scarcely held so brisk a sale either. Cotton has been firm. An arrival from the Cape of Good Hope furnishes adviees of May 9. A vessel had arrived in the Eastern province with a number of boys sent out by the philan thropic society, and they weft all engaged in a few hours. Still great suspicion attached to these "exiles," as some of the local papers style them, and there was a disposition to regard their introduction as an experiment preparatory to the arrival of convicts: The colony is certainly much in need of labour, but sioutly resists any measure of supply that would appear to convert it into a penal settlement. Adviees from the Continent have been received by seve:al of the mails. The fair of l3eaucaire is stated to be going off favourably, and a considerable number of foreign bu) era were in the market. The Sardinians and Spaniards, however, had not yet arrived. At Haveturgb, on Tuesday last, the rate of Ex change on London was 13 10, an the price of gold was 437. Bills at all dates were in request. Money was very abundant, and Funds and Shares were more active. From St. Petersburgh, under date of the 10th instant, we learn that business was brisker, but that this arises chiefly from the execution of old contracts, and not from fresh orders given. The Bres. lan wool market was very animated on the 11th inst. It may be us, ful to remind parties that newspapers forwarded through Prussia to Turkey, Servia, the Levant, Greece, Rapt, the lonian Islands, and the Italian States, not belonging to Austria, are,liable to a postage of ld. us the Prussian rate, consequently lid. on each must now be paid in advance here. The Funds are still rather dull, hut the intelli gence received 01 the conclusion of the Danish armis tice is calculated to give strength to the market, and has in reality prevented a decline. Con sols have been 92i to 93/ for transfer, and 93 to for account, and are now 92 to 93 and 93 to /. Bank Stock is a ell supported at 199 to 200, and South Sea Stock at 103. The New Three-and a-Quarter per C. nts. have been 934 to 94, and the Three per Cents. 92/ to 93k. Exchequer-b:lls continue at 48s. to 51s. prewium, and India Bonds at 83s. premium, an evid ence of the abundance of money. In Foreign Securities the dealings have been trifling, and many of the jobbers have left town. There are certain speculators, however, who are still very active in depressing Mexican Bo:ids, which have ranged from 26; to f Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 30/ to 30/. Buenos Ayres Bonds are 44. Dutch Two and-a-Halt per Ceuta. have been 51 to 511. Sews few of the Railway Stares are rather better, and others barely good.

TAKING EVIDENCE BEFORE COMMIT TEES. Mr. W. PATTEN seeing the Noble Lord the Member ;or Bath in his place, was anxious t r put a que•tiou to him, as to the rules of taking evidence before Commit• tees. The Noble Lord bad lately presided over a Com mittee with- respect to the Woods and Forests; it was with reference to the course pursued with respect to the evidence taken before that Committee that he wished to put a question to the Noble Lord. The Honourable Member, after reading the rule laid down by the House with respect to taking evidence before Committees, observed that it appeared that there was summoned before the Committee a Mr. Gore, one of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. That gentleman gave evidence before the Committee, but he found after wards that he had made most material mistakes, and bad given very erroneous evidence ; and when his evi dence was sent to him to correct, he corrected it, and sent it into the Committee over which the Noble Lord • presided. Subsequently he received a communication from the clerk of the Committee, that the corrections were con sidered by the Committee to be inadmissible, and he was requested to send in another copy of his corrections. Mr. Gore, however, did not know what corrections were objected to, and therefore he was unable to scud in a corrected copy. The questions he wished to put to the Noble Lord were, first, whether the facts were as he had stated; and, secondly, whether Mr. Gore's evidence would be published without his corrections? Lord DUNC AN said it was quite true that subsequently to Mr. Gore's examination he returned his evidence to the Committee in a corrected shape. On looking over that evidence, as it was his duty to do, as Chairman of the Committee, he found that most important corrections had been made by Mr. Gore in the evidence be had given, corrections which, if they had been made at the moment of his giving the evidence, would have induced a great deal larger examination. Under the.,e circum stances, he felt it his duty to bring the matt. -r under the consideration of the Committee. Tile instructions to the Committee were to allow no corrections that were not in the hand-writing of the witness; and finding that two, if not more, persons had been employed in correct ing this evidence, he sent a communication to Mr. Gore, stating, that if he wouli make certain alterations in his own hand-writing, he would again bring the subject before the Committe. Ile had, however, received no reply, which placed him in a some what difficult position; and his course now would be to consult the Speaker, as to the mode of his proceeding. Mr. W. PATTEN asked the . obh Lord what curse he intended to take in reference to printing the evidence? Lord DUNCAN said he should fodow the precedent of Lord Monteagle, and print the evidence in its origi nal form, together with the directions. Mr. BRIGHT inquired whether or not Mr. Gore's attention had been directed to the fact of the corrections being in two or three different hands.? Sir GEORGE GREY appealed to the Speaker, as the highest authority on the s ubject, to state what was the proper mode of proceeding under the circumstances. The SPEAKER said it was important that any infor mation procured under the order of the Houte should be perfectly correct, and he thought it was the duty of the Committe, under the circtuubtances, to recal the witness for re-examination. Lord DUNCAN, in reply to the question of the Hon. Member for Manchester, stated that he publicly objected in the Committee to the corrections being in several handwritings. Lord JO - OELYN asked if the communication sent to Mr. Gore wa , , sanctioned by the Committee? Lord DUNCAN rccalicd to the Noble Lord's recol lection, who was a member of the Committee, that this matter was referred to the consideration of four gentle- men on the Committee, and it was at their instance the communication was sent to Mr. Gore. Mr. HAYTER said the Committee had allowed Mr, Gore to revise his evidence, but requested him at the same time to make as few alterations as he possibly could consistent with its accuracy. It appeared to him that the Committee had acted altogether unofficially iu not complying with the rules of the House, and under those circumstances he saw no alternative but to have the evidence as revised by Mr. Gore printed. Sir GEORGE CLERK said he agreed that the diffi culty arose from the Committee not complying 'A ith the rules of the House. He thought that Committee ought to exercise a great deal of jealousy with regard to the evidence of witnesses, but it a wimess was mis understood, and his evidence before the Committee taken incorrectly, he thought that an opportunity should be afforded to him of be►ng re-examined, and of making the necessary corrections. In order to get out of their present difficulty, the, beat way would be to send back the evidence to the Committee, with an instruction that ,they re-assemble and examine Mr. Gore upon those points with reference to which inaccuracies had occurred. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that a similar case to the present occurred before the banking committee. A witness who was allowed to correct his evidence, so materially altered the sense of it, that his evidence in its corrected form was added to the end of the report. He apprehended, that under such circumstances, that was not wily the best, but the only course that could be pursued. After some further discussion, On-the motion of Lord JO/IN RUSSELL, it was agreed that it be an instruction to the Committee to re assemble, and to re-examine Mr. Gore and such other witnesses as might be deemed necessary. MILITIA PAY BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. ADVANCE OF MONEY (ATHLONE AND GAL WAY RAILWAY) BILL. This Bill was also read a third time and passed. JUDGMENTS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill as amended was considered and agreed to, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow at twelve o'clock. • STAMPS AND ALLOWANCES BILL. This Bill as amended was conbidered bud agreed to, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow ut twelve o'clock. PILOTAGE BILL. Mr. LABOUCHERE moved the second reading of his Bill. Sir G. CLERK opposed the second reading. He complained that it should be hurried through the House at a period when the opponents of the Bill had no op portunity of stating their objections to the measure. He thought the Bill was extremely objectionable, and ought not to be allowed to pass in its present form. He thought that the regulation proposed by it would be opp..sed, not only by our own mercantile navy, but also by foreigners. He thought that the interests of a large body of men like our pilots ought to have been more con sulted than to be attacked by such a hasty measure. It would have been a much wiser course to have allowed this measure to stand over to another session. The Bill was certainly defective in itself, cud there were many points in it which might be objected to by all classes of the mercantile navy. To vessels sailing en distant voyages this Bill would grant no relief whatever, or at all events but au indirect relief. Unless the Hon. Gentleman was prepared to make some modifications in the Bill, he would move that it be read this day six months. Mr. M.. GI SON thought the Hon. Gentleman bad opposed this Bill with a degree of zeal which it was rinrdly necessary for the Hon. Member for Dover to display.—(A laugh.) Our pilot laws had their origin when steam navigation bad not even been invented, and when there were no surveys of !he coast; and he 1.,a11) tnought the time had arriitd when, under an Unproved system of navigation, and with it higher degree of bkill among our seamen, some alteration should be made In our pilotage-laws. The Bill was merely optional, or, I_l' other word., it gave to a master or mate of a vesse l p r e; perly qualified, sailing to or from the Cinque Foe. the cnoice of taking a pilot on board or not. 11 ,„ thought the Bill did not g o f ar enou gh. Taking ill consideration the improved sy s t em o f n avigation wi ll° , now obtains, and especially the pr ac tice of steam tug ging, he thought such a Bill was exceedingly w ell. Mr. RICE opposed the Bill, and would continue tol l ? so unless some important m o dific a ti ons w ere made in .

It was like compelling an omnibus proPri ) , to let a pilot accompany his driv e r in his „W i ll ie between Hyde Park and the Bank. That wse whole question. He should support the Bill, he c A s „ - ,t. he believed shipmasters perfectly c a p a bl e of coe w ",; (0 ing their ships without the intervention of pilots. 7 03 , they wanted them they would of c o u rse employ t hem Mr. ANDERSON said that pilotage fell fat °3. 1,, heavily on steam shipping than any o th er c l as s of ves ic le, tor they hat &Atoll to pay enormous sums for pilots bg ports where they did not require th em . He those some alteration ought to be made in that respect. Mr. MOFFATT supported the Bill. Mr. LABOUCIIERE did not intend that th eh measure should settle the question of p i l o tage, bdt fto iutended it as a measure to remove a great grievance. 0 . (lid not despair iu a future session of bringing in s Tbs prefeilisive measure on the subject of pilotage.

He had no objection to the introduction words suggested by th e Ri g h t H on. Baronet the Ptil ber for Dover, although he had been told by his rea r " oo cl Friend the Attorney-Gen era l t h at t h e Bill as it stra would only be of a permissive character and not e ° " ' pulsory. r Mr. GOULBURN said the Bill was mere ly O f permissive character, he had no o bj ect i on to it; bu t thought some difficulties would ari se f ro m the :re privilege not being conf erre d on foreign tho,,eel allowed to Briti s h s hi ps.
