Earl HARIZOWBY presented a petition from Con way, praying for the resuscitation of Poland ; his lord ship also presented a petition from the Licensed Vic tuallers of East Lancashire, in farour of the repeal of the Beer Act of last session. _ CHARITABLE TRUSTS (1855) BILL. The Commons' amendments tc this bill were con sidered. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving their adop tion, said he regretted that some of the alterations which had been made were by no means calculated to im prove the bill. Lord CAMPBELL said that although the bill had been mutilated it might be of some service, but not of one•half the benefit it might have been if let alone. He expressed a fear that there were too many lawyers in the other house, whose conflicting counsel did no con tribute to the efficient mending of the law of this country. Lord LYTTELTON said he hoped that next session an attempt would be made to carry through Parliament some such provisions as had been rejected in the other house ; for he was quite satisfied they were necessary fur the management of small charities. Earl GRANVILLE having said a few words in fa vour of the Charity Commissioners, The amendments were agreed to. UNION OF CONTIGUOUS BENEFICES BILL. On the motion that the Commons' amendments to this bill be considered, A short conversation ensued, in which Lord Redes dale was understood to object to the words " Charity " Commissioners, and to desire to substitute "Parish " Commissioners ; and Earl - Harrowby to move some amendment to the first clause. The amendments were rejected. INVERNESS BRIDGE BILL. This bill was read a third time ar,d passed. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the adoption of the Commons' amendments to this bill, and in doing so explained their purport. Lord CAMPBELL having said a few words, The motion was agreed to. PUBLIC-HOUSES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DISEASES PREVENTION BILL. This bill was also read a third time and passed. LIMITED LIABILITY BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, Lord LYTTELTON again protested, before the mea sure passed its final stage, against the conduct of the Government in pressing a bill of such great importance through the house at this late period of the session, when no time remained for considering its details as they ought to be. He a1 ,, 0 complained of the dictatorial authority with which this bill had been pushed forward through all its stages, notwithstanding the rule which had been laid dow❑ by their lordships expressly to meet such cases. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that although he had from the very first been strongly favourable to the principle and object of the measure, lie could not concur in the very sanguine hopes which its supporters entertained with respect to its immediate operation. (Hear, hear.) In his opinion nothing could be more proper or indeed just and reasonable than that when any number of persons entered into a business contract with one another they should be enabled to make it as advantageous to themselves as possible. Thus, ou the one hand, one person might choose to risk the whole of his property in its success, and in that case he ought to be at liberty to do b 0 but, on the other hand, his partner might deem it prudent to limit hie liability, and he ought to have an equal ability so to do. (Hear, hear.) This being the case, and believing that many important undertakings were only waiting for the pass ing of that measure to start into active existence, he be lieved the Government to be fully justified in pressing it forward before the termination of the session. Lord REDESDALE maintained the opinion he had before expressed, that no case of urgency had been estab lisbed, and feared that many useless and improper un dertakings would spring out of it. Lord CAMPBELL expressed his unqualified concur rence in the principles and provisions of the bill, and in the course the Government had adopted in regard to it. Lord MONTEAGLE reiterated the objections he en- tertained towards the measure. Lord GRANVILLE said he very much doubted whether the bill would have been improved if longer time had been allowed for its consideration, and defended the course the Government had taken in regard to it. Lord DENMAN thought the discussion upon that measure would be productive of much public benefit, as would also the bill itself. After a few words from Lord ST. VINCENT and Lord CAMPBELL, The bid was read a third time. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved a clause empowering the Board of Trade to appoint an auditor to inquire into and examine the accounts of such companies as availed themselves of the advantages of the bill in the event of no such officers being appointed by themselves. After some further discussion, in which Lord Mont eagle, Lore Campbell, and the Earl of Harrowby took part, the clause was agreed to and added to the bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR then moved an addi tion to clause 15, applying the Government Stock Winding up Acts to this bill, which was agreed to. The bill then passed. BURIALS BILL. Their lordships then took into consideration the Com mons' amendments to this bill, which were agreed to. Their lordships adjourned at 10 minutes past two o'clock till Monday at half•past 11 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS--(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after one o'clock, A POLISH LEGION. Lord EBRINGTON presented a petition from a large number of Poles, expressing a wish for the enrolment of a Polish Legion for the service of her Majesty, and calling upon the Government to use their good offices with the Emperor of the French to assist in restoring the nationality of Poland. ARMY CLOTHING. On the motion of Colonel DUNNE, a return w ‘l3 or dered of the prices allowed by the Ordnance Depa.tment for the clothing of the soldiers of her Majesty's service; distingishing those allowed for the different services of artillery, engineers, infantry (Guards and line), cavalry, colonial corps, and foreign troops of whatever descrip tion ; distinguishing also the prices allowed for the dif ferent grades of rank in each service : and, list of the prices formerly allowed to colonels of regiments for clothing these corps, and of those allowed for the dif ferent troops supplied by the Board of Ordnance. REPORT OF THE COMMISSION SENT TO THE CRIMEA.. limited liability bad now been recognised by this bill. No one could doubt but that the additions engrafted on the bill by the other house would be found in practice both mischievous and prejudicial. It would be impossi ble to go on long without reconsidering this bill, and then he hoped they would be able to legislate more suc cessfully on the principle conceded by the bill. Tl.e other amendments were then put, on which some discussion took places—Mr. WILLIAMS suggesting it would be better for the house to reject the bill, as it never could be acted on. On the amended clause being read, making the direc tors of companies liable in cases of insolvency or fraud, Mr. B. MOORE said that if any man, after reading such a clause, consented to be a director, he deserved to lose his money. The clause was ultimately agreed to. A discussion took place on the other amendments, in the course of which Mr. MALINS said the House of Lords bad considered this bill in too narrow a spirit. They appeared to have considered there were but two classes, one knaves, who would form companies, and the other idiots, to be cheated by these companies. He much doubted the policy of accepting this bill, but probably, as the Attor ney• General had said, it would be better to pass it as affirming a principle. Lord PALMERSTON said great changes could only be carried step by step. If they rejected this bill they would have next session to go over the ground again, whereas if they passed the bill, they would have the vantage ground of the bill being the law of the land, and modifications might then be easily made. The amendments were ultimately agreed to. The house then adjourned at 4 o'clock till one o'clock on Tuesday next. BOW-STREET.-(TRIS DAY.) AN EXTENSIVE ROBBERY PREVENTED. A cabman, named John, Joseph, Tier, was this morning placed at the bar charged with having in his possession a large quantity of cloth, the property of Mr. Fisher, clothworker, residing at 4 and 5, Broker's Ally, Drury lane. _ From the evidence of the foreman, it appeared that at about half-past four o'clock this morning he was awoke by a bustling noise, and on looking out of the window he saw four or five men busily employed in removing a large number of rolls of cloth from his master's premises into a cab, which was standing at the end of the Ally. He immediately gave the alarm, and shouted out to the cabman to "stop the thieves." The cabman, instead of doing so, drove off at a furious rate, and the five or six men all ran in different directions. He without a moment's loss of time rushed into the street, with nothing on him but his shirt, and commenced pur suing the cab, shouting at the top of his voice " Slop thieves." The cabman continued to drive ou until he was stopped by a working man and a police constable, opposite the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street. On examination of the cab, they found inside three rolls of cloth and some calico, to the value of about fifty pounds. The property found in the cab belonged to his master, and he saw it safe in the shop at nine o'clock last night when he locked up the premises. The way in which the entry into the premises had been effected was by the first floor window, which had been pressed open by a " jemmy." William Abrahams stated he was employed as a porter to a market gardener. He saw the cab proceeding at a furious rate, and immediately started in pursuit. He also saw the first witness running as fast as he could along the street in his shirt, and heard him, although a considerable distance off, shouting out, " Stop thieves, stop 'em." The cabman must have heard him, but he himself was also shouting out, " Stop thief." A police. man eventually stopped the cab, and having put the foreman inside he got on the box and ordered the man to drive to the station-house. Police-constable 52 F proved that he stopped the cab. The prisoner, on his way to the station-house, bold hint that he had been engaged by a man with an apron on to take a job to the other side of the water. Inspector Mackenzie stated that, on the prisoner being brought to the station, he said that a party had hired him to convey a fare over the water. He had been to the address given by the prisoner, No. 11, Sid mouth-mews' and found that he resided there. He had also examined the premises which had been entered by the thieves, and he found the warehouse in -the greatest disorder. It was literally covered with half-consumed Inciter matches, and an immense quantity of cloth had been put together in rolls, ready for removal. The premises bad been entered by the first-floor window, which had been attained by climbing up the water spout. He found the jemmy and chisel produced on the landing. They fitted the marks made in the window frame, and everything had been prepared for the com mittal of a robbery to a large extent. The arrange ments were those of " professionals." On being asked by the magistrate what he had to say to the charge, the prisoner said he got up early this morning in order to meet the mail trains to get a job as he was short of mousy. Some men hired him to convey a fare over the water, and took him to Drury-lane. They immediately put the cloth into his cab, and when the foreman gave the alarm he thought it was best to pursue them and cry out " Stop thief." He did not hear the foreman halloing out after him. lie never saw the men before, but he should know the man who hired him. Mr. Henry--Yes ; bat you driving down Great Queen street, and when the constable stopped you, near the Freemasons' Tavern, you said the men bad run down Great Wyld-street—that was not pursuing them. I shall remand you for a week, in order to give the police time to discover the other men. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DA Y.)

Lord HOTHAM wished to know whether the Go vernment had any objection to lay upon the table the evidence taken by Sir J. M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch, the commissioners sent out b . .y the Government to in quire into the sanitary condition of the army in the Crimea, with their report thereon. Lord PALMERSTON said the Government had no objection to lay upon the table the report. There might be some passages of a c onfidential nature which it would be desirable to omit ; but the Government would have no objection to lay upon the table the substan c e of the report and the whole of the evidence. (Hear.) The house then agreed to the Lords' Amendments of the Public Health (No. 2) Bill ; Dwellings f or Labour ing Classes (Ireland) Bill ; Union of Contiguous Bene fices Bill ; and the Burials Bill. LIMITED LIABILITY BILL. The house then considered the Lords' amendments to this bill. Mr. MALINS regretted the introduction into the bill of the clause by the Lords, conferring limited liability only upon companies consisting of not less than twenty five shareholders. Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Williams, and Mr. A. Pellatt expressed their reget at the introduction of this clause, as it tended to defeat the objects of the bill. A clause, appointing a public auditor by the Board of Trade to examine into the solvency of the company, caused some discussion, being considered objectionable by Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. J. G. Phillissore, and Mr. B. Moore. Lord PALMERSTON said that although the amend ments were objectionable, he did not think they would at all mar the effect of the bill, but if it were found so in practice, they could be altered next session, and, there fore, he hoped the house would pass the bill. Mr. MALINS regretted the Government fdid not in the House of Lords resist these two amendments, which they might have done successfully. This clause would mar the operation of the bill, because it would be highly objectionable for an auditor to have to examine the ac counts of companies associated under this bill. There ' stability could not be enhanced by the functions of such an officer. Mr. WILLIAMS objected to the clause. .

The:LORD CRANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of BESSBOROUGH presented two peti- tions against Church-rates, and also a petition in favour of the formation of a Polish Legion. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Jed burgh, in favour of the Scotch Education Bill. LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES BILL. The Earl of MALMESBURY said he wished to call the attention of the noble and learned lord on the wool sack to one very useful and important bill which had been withrawn in the present session. That bill was unanimously accepted by their lordships' house as being a most useful measure. It was the Leases and Settled Estates Bill. It appeared that the noble and learned lord had entrusted that bill in the hands of the Soli citor-General, who, after some discussion upon its details yesterday, withdraw the bill on the ground that he believed it would be impossible to pass it through Parliament in the present session. As far as he could learn from the report he had seen, the noble and learned lord had not been supported by the members of the Go vernment in the other House of Parliament in the way they ought to do in connection with measures of great importance. He wished to sok the noble and learned lord whether it was his intention to re-introduce the bill next session The LORD CHANCELLOR quite concurred with the noble earl that the measure was a most important one; He did not, however, wish to take the credit of that measure to himself. It was passed with the almost unanimous approval of their lordships, and was placed in the hands of the Solicitor-General, who took exactly the same view as he had done. As far as he could hear, there was a notion abroad in the other house that there was one particular clause, which would effect what was vulgarly called the enclosure of Hampstead Heath. Now the notion was entirely wrong, but to prevent any mistake a clause had been introduced into it so as to meet the objection. (Hear.) The bill had been postponed in consequence of the lateness of the session, but he in tended at the earliest opportunity next session to re introduce the bill. Lord CAMPBELL observed that many important bills which bad been introduced by distinguished mem bers of that house, and which had met with general ap proval, were not supported in the way they ought to have been by the members of the lower house. He thought Sir T. M. Wilson was entitled to compensation, and that he would be willing to enter into negotiations with that view. TREATMENT OF PRISONERS BY THE RUSSIANS. The Earl of MALMESBURY drew the attention of the house to the account which appeared in Blackwood's Magazine, and other periodicals, in respect to the treat ment of English and French prisoners by the Russians. It appeared from these accounts that the English and French prisoners, taken in the Crimea, were marched an enormous distance, about GOO or 700 miles, on foot, at very inclement seasons of the year. What would be said, if the Russian prisoners, lauded at Portsmouth or Plymouth, were marched to the north of Scotland. It was the duty of her Majesty's Government to ascertain if those statements were true, and, if so, to protest against the infliction of sach sufferings upon their sol diers. They had plenty of precedents for doing so, and might refer, for example, to the protests made in the last war against the treatment of prisoners who had been taken by the enemy. The Government would not be doing their duty if it did not protest against the infliction of such sufferings upon the English prisoners. (Hear, hear.) The Inverness Bridge Bill passed through committee. PUBLIC HEALTH (No. 2) BILL. The Duke of ARGYLL moved that as the Public Health (No. 2) Bill has been unavoidably delayed in consequence of the withdrawal of the Public Health Amendment Bill, in the House of Commons, and since, if the said bill be not proceeded with, improvement works of immediate necessity in the places affected by the said bill will be prevented or impeded ; and as it appears that the House of Commons suspended their standing orders with a view to a speedy passing of tlie said bill, the circumstances are of such urgency as render the immediate consideratio❑ of the same expedient. The motion was agreed to, and the bill was read a second time. The standing orders having been suspended on the motion of the noble duke, the bill was put through the other stages and passed. THE CRIMINAL OUTRAGE (IRELAND) ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. On the motion to consider the Commons' amendments, Lord MONTEAGLE called attention to the fact that by an alteration made in the other house, the Crime and Outrage Act was only to be continued until next July. From that he inferred that there was an intention in the course of the ensuing session to take the whole question into consideration, and he hoped there would be a dis position to dispense with such portions of the law as could be dispensed with, with a due regard to public safety. He hoped that in the course of the next session they would lay the foundation for a careful examination of the circumstances of Ireland, for the purpose of ascer taining what course of legislation should be adopted. Earl GRANVILLE was not aware that any pledge had been given of the nature referred to by the noble lord. Hon. gentlemen opposed to the bill having made a proposition that was unobjectionable, the Government were glad to accept it to enable them to go on with the other public business. The amendments of the Commons were then agreed to. The Public-houses (Ireland) Bill passed through com mittee. each shareholder in the company be severally liable for the payment of excise duties Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY did J 1 ot see that in the event of companies being formed for such purposes any greater difficulties would arise than those which ex. isted in the case of individual manufacturers. Earl GREY wished to know whether any persona holding shares in any company formed under this act, without taking part in its management, would be liable for the payment of excise duties to the Crown beyond the amount of their shares. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY—Certainly mot: Earl GREY—Then the effect would be that compa nies would be formed for the sole purpose of defrauding the revenue. They might put men of straw in the ma nagement of the concern, keeping themselves perfectly free from it, carry on business to a large extent, in the case of distilling for instance, where frauds had been se frequently practised, then when the authorities disco. vered the fraud the company would merely break up, and the shareholders would be only liable for the nomi nal amount of their shares. The Earl of HA RROWBY said that the stock and plant in such cases would be liable to be taken for pay. ment. After some further conversation, Earl GREY moved the insertion of a clause providing for the appointment of auditor by the comiaissioners for auditing the public accounts. He believed that by such a provision only could this bill be prevented from lead. ing to the commission of great frauds. Lord STBNLEY of ALDERLEY said that the audit was for the protection of shareholders, and he could not admit that it was the duty of Government to undertake it. He recommended that the consideration of this sub ject should be deferred until the revision of the Joint- Stock Companies Act, which must take place next sex- Sion. Lord Campbell supported the clause ; which was op. posed by the Lord Chancellor and Earl Granville, and supported by Lord Monteagle and Lord Redesdale Ultimately Lord Granville promised, in deference to the strong opinions which had been expressed, to consider this clause before the bill passed its next stage. Earl GREY suggested that it might be desirable to give the power of appointing auditors rather to the Board of Trade or the Treasury, than to the commissionersfor the examination of the public accounts, as he had pro vided in his clause ; not because that was in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Audit Bill, which had passed the house. Earl GRANVILLE guarded himself against being understood to have promised to assent to this clause. He only meant to promise to consider it with his col leagues, to see whether it could be consented to. Upon this uuderstanding, Earl GREY withdrew the clause for the present. Lord CAMPELL proposed a clause allowing costs against shareholders, when the company has no assets, against which execution can be levied. The clause was agreed to, and the report was then received, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow (this day.) DWELLINGS FOR LABOURING CLASSES BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were agreed to. Their lordships adjourned at half-past nine. The Public Health Act (1854) Continuance and Amendment Bill passed through committee ; and the Diseases Prevention Bill passed through committee. The Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Advances Bill, and Navigation Works (Ireland) Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill passed HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at half-put 3 &cloak. THE IRISH BENCH. Sir J. V. SHELLEY gave notice that early next session he should call the attention of the house to the present state of the Irish bar. WINE DUTIES. Mr. OLIVEIRA also gave notice that early next ses sion be should bring before the house the present high rate of duty charged upon foreign imported wines. ARMY SURGEONS. In reply to a question from Mr. WATSON, Mr. F. PEEL said it was not the intention of the Government to confer upon the army surgeons serving in the hospitals in the East any other promotion than was at present conferred upon surgeons in the field. THE PROPOSED ITALIAN LEGION. Mr. BOWYER, availing himself of the privilege of moving that the house, at its rising, do adjourn until Monday, called the attention of the house to the proba ble evil consequences which would result from the for mation of an Italian Foreign Legion. He con tended, at some lengtls, that at the conclusion of the war, when the Leg ion would be disbanded, the soldiers would flock to their native country and there be the means of fomenting or reviving those internal dissensions and disturbances which so short a period ago resulted in open war. In conclusion, he wished to ask the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment as to how the Government intended to provide for the Italian Legion, so that it should not eventually be come dangerous to the internal tranquillity of Italy Lord PALMERSTON, in replying to the hon. gen tleman, said that of course the hon. member would with draw the motion he had made for the purpose of entering into the details he had done, because the next meeting of the house must depend entirely upon the proceedings in the other house at a later period of the day. Pro ceeding, then, to the question which had been put to him, the noble lord said the Italian Legion would, he be lieved, copyist of 3,000 or 4,000 men ; and the hon. gentleman bad applauded the decision of the Government in raising it, and had truly said, further, that it would consist of men fully qualified to make excellent soldiers and to do this country good service. At the same time, however, the hon. member seemed to apprehend that when the war was over, and when these men returned to Italy, disbanded or not, they would be exceedingly dangerous to the internal tranquillity of the country and he therefore wanted to know what security there would be when these men were disbanded that they should not become troublesome or dangerous in the way sng ,sted, His (Lord Palmerston's) reply was that those geL - - men acquired habits of order and discipline whilst in ac tive service, and were, on that accouut, less likely than any other persons to become on their return unruly sub jects. The noble lord concluded with some general re marks , in reply to some of the statements of the hon. gentleman.
