The bon e re named. and Mr. GROGAN moved that the house do adjourn. He did so in order to ascertain whether the important ques tion of the discussion of the 14th clause of this bill was to be discu , ,ed at a morning or evening sitting. It had been und , rstotel that that clause was not to be taken in the morni L it l PALMERSTON void that there was no wish that the discussion of the 14th clause should take place in the absence of those taking an interest in the bill. He would suggest that the bill should come on in the even ing of Tuesday ; that might easily be done if the mo tions for that dby did not take long. If they did occupy much time, then it must be arranged when the bill should corn Mr. HENLEY asked what was to be the course of business ?

SOMERVILLE having moved that the house should go into committee on this bill pro forma, Mr. M'MA.HON said the bill bad a wrong title ; it ought to be called "A. bill to facilitate the eviction of the small cottier tenantry of Ireland." He thought it was the duty of the Government to resist the further progress of the bill which was intended to servo that purponee. - Sir G. GREY said it was useless to discuss the mea sure then, as its details were to be altered. Mr. M'MAHON said he objected to the affording any additional facilities for evictions, and moved, as an amendment, tbat the hou,e go into committee on the bill that day three months. Colonel GRE VILLE seconded the amendment. The SPEAKER said there appeared to be some mis apprehension in the minds of hon. members as to the effect of committing a bill pro forma : that such a step did not advance a bill a single stage. When it was committed pro forma, it was ordered to be printed and recommitted on a future day. When that day arrived, the question was again put that "the Speaker do leave the chair." Mr. NAPIER thought that in courtesy to the right hon. baronet the bill ought to be committed. The amendment was then withdrawn. The bill was committed pro forma, and ordered to be printed. THE SPIRITS (IRELAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time. Mr. V.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the woolsack at five o'clock. ' Lord BERNERS presented several petitions praying for the better observance of the Lord's-day, and also for the abolition of the grant to Maynooth. Earl BANDON presented several petitions from places in Cork against the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sundays. THE NEW PUBLIC OFFICES. Earl GRANVILLE said it would be in the recollec tion of the house that a question had been asked of him relative to the offer of a certain firm to rebuild the pub lic offices. He did not recollect the precise words he then used, but it was not his intention to cast the slightest slur on any one. A gentleman well known to your lordships, Mr. Stapleton, however, had felt himself aggrieved at something it was reported he bad said on the subject. He bad received a letter from his right hon. friend the Chief Commissioner of Public Works,,which stated that in the interview he bad had with the proposed contractors on the subject he did not ask for any security for the carrying out of the scheme, but upon reflection be thought the principle of centralisation in such contracts should not be sanctioned by the Government, as they bad in their own bands better security for the performance of the works than they could have under any contractors. The Earl of MALMESBURY thought the Chief Commissioner of Works forgot the important considera tion of time. The plan proposed he thought a desirable one, inasmuch as it fixed the limit of cost, and the time within which the words would be completed, viz., five years—advantages which bad certainly been wanting in the building of the new houses of Parliament. After a few words from the Earl of ELLRNBOROUGH, suggesting that the whole of the roof of the new offices should be built at one time, and a remark from Lord BROUGHAM as to the inconvenience of carrying on the legislative and legal business of the House of Lords in the same chamber, the subject dropped. THE HANGO MASSACRE. The Earl of MALMESBURY—I rise to draw the at tention of her Majesty's Government, and to ask from them information in respect to a subject which has filled the public mind of this country, and I doubt not of the whole of civilised Europe, with feelings of horror and dismay. Your lordships will readily understand that I allude to the massacre on the coast of Russia, near Hango, of a boat's crew, with the officers in command, belonging to her Majesty's ship Cossack. It will hardly he necessary for me, my lords, to go into the details r f this cruel and unjustifiable act, for your lordships will already have read the despatch of Captain Farshawe, of the Cossack, to Admiral Dundas, who sent the boat whose crew were made the -prisoners of this wanto n out rage to land certain Russian prisoners at their own re quest at Hango, and in which those details are fully stated. (Hear, hear.) It will he sufficient, therefore, for me to remind your lordships that the beat con tained Russian prisoners who were sent under a flax of truce, and commanded by the lieutenant of the Cossack, a surgeon, and one or two petty officers, who had charge of the prisoners, who had been allowed themselves to select the part of the Russian coast at which they wished to he landed. It appaars that when they were put on shore at the wharf at Hango, no one was seen ; but suddenly the boat's crew and the liberated prisoners also were attacked by a large armed force, who fired upon them and massacred all, with the exception of one, a man named John Brown, who, though badly wounded, managed to escape in the boat. According to this man's account, the officer in command, Lieut. Genesse, was shot down while in the act of waving the flag of truce over his head, and while one of the Russian prisoners was explaining to the attack ing party the circumstances under which, and the object for which, the landing had taken place ; and it further appears that when the atrocity had been consummated. th e Russian soldiers went down into the boat, and threw overboard not only the bodies of the dead, but those also who were wounded. Such is the accourt given by Captain Fanshawo to Admiral Dundas, upon the authority of the man Brown. When Admiral Dun das was first made acquainted with these facts, he natu rally imagined that there had been some act of indiscre tion, or that some omission in displaying the flag of truce, or some fault on the part of the lieutenant in command of the boat had . taken place,. and_ would.be-rnede excuse for the perpetration of this wanton violation of all national and of human law, and acc)rdingly he wrote to Captain Fanshawe, putting to him a number of questions categorically, all of which being arswered sa tisfactorily, Admiral Dundas became convi ced that no blame whatEmeder applied either to Captain Fanshawe, to the officer in command of the boat, or to any of the crew. It is, however, but fair to add, that not many hours ago an account has reactied London, and which appears in the second edition of a morning paper, giving the Rus sian version of this melancholy affair. That account states that the whole of the boat's crew were not killed, but that nine of the men and two of the o'neers wer., taken prisoners, three or four of whom are wounds', and the rest they say were killed in resisting the Russia., troops who attacked them when they landed. Not a word more is stated in this account, but I have thought it fair to state to your lordships what is the Russian version of the story so far as we know it. But, even assuming that this version is correct, and that nine, or rather 11 men including the two officers, were tak n prisoners, though it mitigates in some degree the horr:blo cruelty which, according to our own version, had been perpetrated, still it in nowise exculpates the Russian soldiers, and more especially the officer who commanded them, from the complete and wanton breach of the law of nations which they have committed. (Hear, hear.) The killing even of one man, or much les- ' the t g even of a single man prisoner, while under the sar , guar 1 of a flag of truce, is an infraction of the law of nations and of the law of honourable warfare, as taken from the ancient code of the Middle Ages, for the purpose of re straining men's passions when not engaged in actual conflict, and which is adopted by every civilise] nation. A flag of truce has been always honoured and held sacred—in every age and by every nation—it is ne cessary for the interests of humanity, and for the protection of the soldiers themselves—and I scarssly know of an instance of its having been viol. t.d. (Hear, hear.) I believe if you trace history through out you will not find a parallel either in ancient or modern times to this atrocious act. (Loud cheers.) My lords, it is not so much for the purpose of drawing your lordships' attention to what has barite !ed that I have risen on this occasion to ask her Majesty's Govern ment what course they intend to pursue under the cir. cumstances ? (Hear, hear.) It appears to me to be the interest, not only of the government of th's country, but of every Government in the world, to take notice of such an act—and certainly it is the interest of every Sovereign in Europe, as it is the inteie:t of every officer and of every soldier of every army in Europe, to de mand that it should be noticed, and t'e perpetrators of it visited with condign punishment, in order that that sense of honour and of humanity which is inherent in every man's breast may be upheld in the wars of civi lised nations. (Cheers.) How this is to be done--how punishment is to follow this violation of the sniffed lax of nations, I wish to know from her Majesty's Govern ment. It is not for me to suggest the means, but lam sure her Majesty's Government will not think me out of place in making these remarks, and inquiring of my noble friend opposite, the President of the Council, what course they intend to pursue ? (Cheers ) The Earl of CLARENDON— My lords, although the question put by my noble friend has been addressed to my noble friend the President of the Council, I am, per haps, in a better position to answer, and, with the per mission of your lordships, I will do so. (Rear.) My noble friend has accurately stated all the facts of the case, and the manner in which this atrocity was carried into effect, and he has most properly characterised it. (Hear.) It is an outrage so horrible and infamous, so utterly at va riance with the usages of war and the customs of civilised nations, that we are compelled to believe that the perpe trators of it cannot have acted upon the instructions or with the approval of their superiors. (Hear.) I think it only reasonable to suppose in the first instance, till we have further information, that such was the case, and I say this the more, because it does appear that it must have been the brutal act of some unauthorised subordinate, for I see in Captain Fanshawe's despatch that the person who directed the force and gave the orders to fire did not appear to be an officer. On receiving information of the transaction I lost not a moment in addressing the papers detailing the circumstances to her Majesty's Mi nister at Copenhagen, instructing him to request the Danish Government to send instructions to the Danish Minister at St. Petersburg, of whose friendly zeal on behalf of British subjects and British interssts it is im possible to speak too highly. requesting him to bring the matter to the notice of the Russian Government, and to state that her Majesty's Government waited with ex treme anxiety to learn what steps they had taken, or in tended to take, to mark their sense of this unnecessary and brutal outrage—au outrage which might possibly have happened in some one of the savage islands of the South Sea without exciting any great degree of surprise, hut which was not to be expected in civilised Europe, and which, if not amply punished, would demand severe reprisals. Under these circumstances, my noble friend will see that it is not until we know what steps the Russian Government intend to take in the matter that we can state what course it may become her Majesty's Government to adopt. (Rear, hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH observed that the Admiral in command of the British fleet would, in all probability, acting upon his own discretion, demand an explanation from the Russian authorities on the spot, and he suggested that the communication from the Govern ment to our minister at Copenhagen should go through Admiral Dundee. The Earl of CLARENDON—The Government will communicate to Admiral Dundas the steps which have been taken, but I know of no other means of communi cation with the Russian Government except through the Danish ambassador. The Earl of ELLENBOROVGII considered that Admiral Dundas having received Captain Fanshawe's explanation would have immediately sent in a flag of truce to the officer highest in authority on the spot — probably to the Russian Lord High Admiral—stating the facts and calling for explanation, and for that reason he thought it would have been prudent not to enter into any correspondence with the Danish Government until it was known whether Admiral Dundas bad taken that step, and what had been the result. Earl GRANVILLE intimated that Admiral Dundas had given no intimation of any intention to take the course suggested by the noble earl—but he did not think any great inconvenience would arise if a communication were made by our admiral upon the subject, as well as by the Danish Minister at St. Petersburg. In reply to a question from the Earl of Sri/MEM:TRY, The Earl of CLARENDON said he did not know whether the Russians who committed the outrage were regular troops or not ; but it appeared that the man who gave the orders had a musket in his hand, and for that reason was supposed not to have been an officer. Lord COLCHESTER believed it was the practice both in the army and navy, w h en any v i o l a ti on o f th e usages of war was co mm itt e d b y the enemy, for the officer in command to dema n d an explanation without waiting for instructions from home. He hoped that the Russian Government would not only disclaim the act, but en deavour to find out and punish the perpetrators of it. Lord .BROUGHAM felt convinced that they would disown and disclaim the act, but they must go further, and punish those by whom it had been committed. The Earl of MALMESBURY had nos ebjeotiem to make to the course the Government had indicated ; on the contrary, be thought under the circumstances, it was the most judicious that could be adopted ; but if the ex planation should not be satisfactory, he trusted the go vernment would not hesitate to take such further steps as the justice of the ca4e required. His noble friend had used the word reprisals—but nothing in the shape of re prisals could be satisfactory—and if by reprisals the noble esrl meant aggressive acts against Russian subjects of the same nature as that which had been perpetrated upon our unfortunate countrymen, it would bring dishonour upon the British nation. (Cheers.) What he would like to see his noble friend do was to bring the force of public opinion in Europe to bear against the act by ap plying to every Government in alliance with her Ma je4ty, end to every c i v ili se d peop l e , an d every civilised sovereign to unite in a protest against the conduct of the cabinet of St. Petersburg, should it venture to up hold or defend so atr )cious an act. (Hear.) Depend upon it the force of opinion so brought to bear upon that cabinet would be too strong for it to resist. He hoped if his noble friend failed in obtaining the satisfaction he bad so properly demanded that he would bring the matter before a jury of nations in the way he had suggested. Earl GRANVILLE referred to the remarkable general order issued by the D Ike of York, in reply to the sanguinary decree issued by the French convention, the effect of which had been that the French soldiers refused to obey that decree, but instead to follow the generous example of the British army. He believed that the same course would be followed by a like result in the case of the Russian soldiers. (=Tear.) MEASUREMENT OF MERCHANT STEAMERS I all. That was an additional reason why they should know the actual capacity of the vessel, instead of rely ing upon the tonnage. Ile had ventured to put in the bill a clause that would be of great value to passengers, forbidding that any vessel loaded with passengers should be allowed to put her deck water line under water. The noble earl strongly urged upon the Government the de sirability of permitting the second reading of his bill, in stead of relying upon an obsolete and effete system of routine. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said it was quite impossible for him to argue the question upon its merits, but he knew sufficient of the matter to say that the government must decline to assent to the second reading of the bill. The subject had been brought fully before the Government, opinions had been expressed, and plans considered from persons in different parts of the kingdom. The plan that was recommended for adop tion was that by Mr. Moorsom. It was submitted to all the local marine boards, to Lloyd's to the Trinity house. to the Admiralty—in short to all the authorities —and without one dissentient voice they unanimously recommended the adoption of the measure. The only persons who at all objected to it were one assistant-sur veyor and one master shipwright in her Majesty's ser vice. He had also submitted the noble lord's scheme to the Surveyor of the Navy, the Assistant Surveyor of the Navy, and the Chief Engineer, by all of whom it had,. been declared impracticable. Of course upon a matt e " like this he could give no decided opinion of his own. He had, however, taken every opportunity to ascertain the opinion of those qualified to judge, and, guided by those opinions, he felt justified in asking their lordships to reject this bill. Lord COLCHESTER thought that their lordships ought to be much obliged to his noble friend (the Earl of Hardwicke) for having called their attention to this im portant subject. He thought that the bill which had been proposed adopted those scientific improvements which the reports of various commissions justified, and he hoped therefore that their lordships would give it a second reading. The Earl of HARDWICKE replied. He thought that the noble lord (Lord Stanley) had overlooked one fact entirely, via., that no system of tonnage registration existed. That which was now called the tonnage was, in fact, the roomage of a ship. He would illnatrate the nature of the present mode of measurement by an ex ample. A ship might be filled—all her so-called ton nage entirely occupied—by ladies' bonnets, and yet she would not draw one foot more water than she did when emptyl; while, on the other band, she might be laden with cannon balls which would barely cover one of her decks to the depth of one foot, and yet bring her down below her water line. To put the matter on a more sa tisfactory footing, land to give every one the means of knowing the real capabilities of vessels, was the object of this bill. The house divided— For the second reading Against The bill was therefore lokt 28-7 The Charitable Trusts Till passed through committee, The Grants of Lands Bill was read a second time.

METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, re suming at clause 124, in continuation from the adjourned discussion on 12th inst. ; this clause, as amended, was ordered to stand part of the bill. Clause 125 was postponed till Tuesday. Clause 126, after some consideration, was agreed to. On clause 127, Sir B. HALL moved the insertion of a provision re lative to the powers of levying lighting, sewerage, and general purposes rates, and the means by which these rates were to be administered. The clause as amended was afterwards agreed to. Clauses 128, and 129 were also ordered to stand part of the hill. Clauses up to 134 were agreed to after some short discussion. On clause 135 being put, which proposed to assess extra•parochial places, Mr. M. CHAMBERS denied the right of the house to assess the Inns of Court. They had hitherto been exempted, and he did not see why they should be taxed for a drainage that they did not want, and for which they had already provided. After some observations from Sir B. :FULL, the clause as originally proposed was agreed to. Clauses up to 147 were agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Clan3es 148, 149, 150, and 151 were agreed to without any discussion, On clause 152 being put, which gave the Govern ment the power of appointing auditors, some discussion took place, in which Mr. Alderman Challis and Mr. Williams deprecated the Government having that power, and asserted that it ought to be vested in the rate• payers kr. Chambers, Mr. Wilkinson, Lord Ebrington, Mr. Henley, and Sir G. Grey having said a few words on the matter. Sir B. HALL replied, and the clause as amended was afterwards ordered to stand part of the bill. Clause 153 as amended was also agreed to, as also was clause 154, after undergoing some amendment. Clauses 155 to 158 inclusive having been sanctioned, The house resumed, it being ten minutes to 4 o'clock, and immediately afterwards adjourned until 6. The house resumed at six o'clock. Several unopposed returns were ordered. EDUCATION BILL. Mr. E. DENISON gave notice of his intention to move in committee on this bill a clause rendering at tendance at school compulsory on children under a cer tain age. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Lord SEYMOUR asked the Chief Commissioner of Works, in reference to a return presented on the 10th day of June, showing the proposed extension of buildings connected with the New Palace, Westminster-1. Whe ther he had sanctioned the plans and estimates for 280,2721., on account of which au m 107.1751. has, it is stated, been voted in this sess:on ? 2. Whether be bad approved the plans and estimates for further works pro po&ed, to the amount of 651,2851., which are not in cluded in the plan of the buildings laid before Parliament with the estimates of the present year ? Sir W. MOLESWORTII said that two classes of works were referre.l to in the return multi , ned by the noble lord. First, those works which were indispensable for the completion of the palace, which bad been sane- timed by the Government, and were now in progress ; secondly, those which had been suggested by Sir Charles Barry as desirable, but were not indispensable to the completion of the palace, which had not received the sanction of Parliament, and had not been commenced. It was estimated on the 31st March, 1854, that the sum required for the first class of works would amount to 280,0001. ; of that sum 170,0001. was voted in the last and 85,000/. in the present session. With regard to the second class, in consequence of wishes that had been frequently expressed by hon. members in that house, he had requested Sir Charles Barry to report to him his view as to any additional works which he considered de sirable or expedient, and he had received from Sir Chas. a statement of those works, the cost of which was esti mated at 650,0001. But those works had not yet in any way received the sanction of Government, nor were they commenced. The report upon them was now under the consideration of the Treasury. In answer to Sir H. WILLouGHBY, Sir W. MOLESWORTH said that the total sum ex pended on the new houses so far was about two-and-a half millions. TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL. In answer to Mr. ALEXANDER, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the delay in pro ceeding with this bill had been unavoidable, and had not arisen from any doubt as to the propriety of passing it. He had proposed to take it at a morning sitting, but there were many objections to that course. (Hear.) It was intended to submit to the other house a bill relating to church discipline ; there were some objections to that measure, and he proposed to postpone the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill for a week, in the hope that these ob jections would be removed. SOLDIERS' ARREARS. Mr. STAFFORD asked whether any arrangements had been made for the payment of the arrears due to those sick or wounded soldiers who had returned from the Crimea. Ho observed that this was the seventh time he had asked the question since the session commenced. Mr. F. PEEL said the reason why they could not settle the back pay of the soldiers in this country was because they had not hitherto been aware of what was the amount of money duo to them up to the period when they left the head-quarters of their regiments in the Cri mea, also the amount due when they wore at Scutari. It was now three months since peremptory instructions had been sent to the paymasters to furnish accounts in all these matters. Paymasters were also sent to Scutari for the purpose of bringing up arrears, and several lists had been sent in showing the amount due to the soldiers. But the returns from Scutari were yet wanting ; as soon as they arrived the arrears would be cleared off. Mr. STAFFORD gave notice to call the attention of the house to the subject this day. COMMISSIONS OF DECEASED OFFICERS. Mr. FIEADLAM asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether he would lay upon the table of the house the new regulation in the army, whereby officers are en titled to bequeath the regulation value of their commis sions under certain circumstances? • Lerd HOTHAM also inquired whether any further grant would be required from Parliament to carry out this object? Lora PALNLERSTON said he had gated the other BILL. The Earl of HARDWICKE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which, he said, was to effect a system of tonnage registration. The present law was very defective in this respect, and under it it was impossible for the Government, in taking up merchant steamers for the transport service, to know that they ob tained what they paid for. In considering the question of tonnage, it was necessary to couple the tonnage capa bilities of the vessel with its power of speed. He main tained that in the present wate of affairs no approxima tion could be gained to enable a merchant to ascertain the exact value of a vessel either for hire or purchase. He might he asked how this could be the case, when for so lorg a period tonnage had always been legalised by measurement. That had certainly been the case, and hitherto the system appeared to have been satisfac- ' tory. That fashion and mole of gaining this know- " ledge was of very ancient date, and existed under the system of propulsion of vessels by wind and canvas. Bat a new era had now arrived, and people were not satisfied now with men-of•war or merchant ships unless the mode of conducting them was by steam power. That had very materially changed the whole system, and was a reason why the old plans of registra tion and measurement should be entirely changed. At present tonnage was ascertained by measurement, but measurement was not tonnage ; to measure was not to weigh ; a ton was a weight, not a measure. People, however, had become so familiarised with the substitu tion of one for the other as at last even to confound the terms. (Hear.) The measurement of the internal part 5if...4.412-ila only .ambled a person to wee:tin how much material it would hold within a given space; but the ques tion arose , What material ? Take 100 cubic feet, which might represent a ton. If filled with iron it would hold 20 or 30 tons, if with lead a proportionate weight, and so on ; so that it would at once be seen that this was not an adequate representation. The other day her Majesty got A ship called the Telegraph. No doubt she was stated to be of a certain amount of tonnage, I.nt when that amonnt of tonnage was put on board she was immersed, and her cargo was spoiled. He would further illustrate the sub ject of tonnage and measurement by two of her Ma jesty's ships. He would first take the Fairy, her Ma jesty's yacht, a well-known and beautiful vessel. The Fairy measured 313 t-ns, hut she would only early 176 tons : If therefore a merchant or the Government were to hire a vessel of the form of the Fairy, and having paid for tonnage to the extent f 313 tons, if they were to attempt to put 313 tons into her she would sink. His next case was that of the Cruiser, another of her Ma jesty's ships. She measured 540 tons according to the preseet legal mode of regi , tering tonnage, but she would carry 1,013 tons. If a merchant or the Government had purchased her at her rate of measurement, the original owner would have been a loser. (Hear) The , e illustra tions lie thought would serve to show that the present mode of registration was not the true mode of representing that which it was intended t ) eeeresent. In the next place he would direct their lordships' attention to steam power, for the registration of which there existed at the present time no law whatever. There was no law that fixed any unit of power by which a merchant or the Govern ment could know the power of the steam-ship, by what speed she could be propelled, or during what period of time she could sustain a given d Tree of propulsion. It would be for the goo] of all par; ies that there should be an approximation to a unit of power. James Watt laid down the unit of horse power at 33,000 pounds to raise fo per minute. That for a very long period of time, and even now, by the builders of steam engines, was supposed to be the unit of horse power. Such, however, had been the improvements in the seam engines and the progress of science generally that such a calculation was perfectly useless, and could not be retained as the proper unit as meeting the term horse power. Ho would show that by some piac'ical examples. He would take four of her Majesty's ships, namely, the Trident, the Re tri bution,the Calliope, and the Elfin. The Trident.accord ing to measurement was 350 horse power, but when she came to he worked she was found to he of 492 horse power. The Retribution, according to measurement, was 400 horse power, but on working she vv;.s found to be 1,092. The Calliope was nominally 350 ; when worked 1,600. The Elfin was 40 ; when worked 244. These instances would serve to show how very uncertain the term horse power really was. He would take some other instances from the official records of the Admiralty. The En caunter's real horse power was double that of her nomi nal power. The actual power of the Agamemnon was three times that of her nominal power ; the Undine, four times ; the Banshee, five times ; and the Elfin, six times those of their nominal powers. The Wellington, which was computed at 350shorse power by the con tractors, worked up to 800. Now, ho wished to esta blish a new unit which would approximate to the real power of steam. A friend of his, a most scientific man, had given great attention to the subject of steam capa bilities, and ha I put him (the noble earl) in possession of the facts. He selected ton vessels, and took firut their nominal horse power, then their r ea l, an d summed them together. He deducted 15 per cent. for friction, &c., and then divided the indicated by the nominal horse povier. He found as the result of the calculations that 132,000 pounds would raise one foot per minute as the unit, and that was really the value of the horse power. As these vessels were of a peculiar build, he took 32,000 away, and left 100,000 as the unit. That would give a datum to the merchant and the Go vernment on which they might with safety act. Having shown the fallacy of tonnage by measurement, he would proceed to state what he would propose. There was no ship built in which the builder was not perfectly ac quainted with the displacement of that ship. What he desired was to register the displacement of that ship as the real tonnage, leaving the present bill as it stood, so that they would have both the roomage and the tonnage accurately define], and they would know what the mea sure and the tonnage really were. When a vessel was on the stocks a builder was bound to make an indelible mrrk, showing what she would draw when there was nothing in her, and that would give the weight of her body. If he were compelled also to place upon her stern post what she would draw when she was loaded, it would be sufficiently indicated what she would carry. He had embodied in his bill a clause which would compel, under penalties, builders to delineate those lines. He had heard that there were objections to this on the part of merchants and builders. He knew so few of those gentlemen that he had not been able to have any conversation with them upon the subject ; but he felt assured that the more the subject was investi gated, the more probable were the public to demand some definite and positive law which would enable a re gistry to be made such as he had described. Under the present system it was impossible for a person taking a vessel to say what roomage or tonnage he would be likely to have. Take a vessel of 5,000 tons displacement, and say that she was to go a passage of 1,000 miles at 8 miles an hour. To propel that vessel at that speed she would only want 172-horse power, and she would be able to carry a cargo of 2,738 tons. Take the same vessel, re quired to go 10 miles an hour. She would require 336- horse power, and would carry a cargo of 2,524 tons. Suppose an accelerated speed—eighteen miles an hour— required. To perform that the vessel would require 1,961 horse power, and she would carry , a cargo of only 585 tons. To propel her at 20 miles an hour she would be unable to carry cargo at all. The whole of her must be full of fuel for 1,000 wiled, and she would connate it r PRICE SD. evening what were the intentions of the Government. Those intentions would be carried into effect by a new warrant ; and as soon as it received the royal sanction it would be communicated to the house. (Hear.) He should also lay the recent warrant on the table. He was not just then prepared to answer the question of the noble lord ; but if any further grant should be required, he had no doubt the house would be perfectly ready to vote it. (Hear, hear.) ROYAL MILITARY ASYLUM, CHELSEA. Mr. OLIVEIRA asked the Under Secretary for War whether arrangements were being made at the Royal Military Asylum, Chelsea, for receiving the 120 addi tional children of soldiers on foreign service, promised by the late Right Hon. Secretary at War on the sth day of May, 1854 ? - - Mr. PEEL said that twenty additional children bad been admitted, and the remainder would be received as soon as the necessary buildings had been completed. • Colonel NORTH said that so long ago as May, 1854, the house bad passed the resolution referred to. The other day he went to look at the building which was preparing for the purpose, and found there was scarcely a brick on the ground. He wished to know the cause of the delay ? Mr. BOUVERIE gave some explanation, which was not heard in the gallery. He was understood to say that the building was nearly np to the roof. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH THE CRIMEA. Mr. S. KNOX asked if there 'was say foundatiAn for rumours which had prevailed for the last few days re specting the operations in the Crimea, and whether the Government was in receipt of any more recent intern ' gence than had been published? Lord PALMERSTON—The telegraphic communica tion with the Crimea has been interrupted for two or three days, and that is the reason why ne intelligence has been received. Information has been received to day that that communication has been re-established, and the last accounts were that there had been a con siderable amount of firing between the batteries and the works on the other side, but there was no result of any importance. This despatch was dated at 11 o'clock in the evening of the 17th, and was received at four o'clock to-day. CIVIL SERVICE SUPERANNUATION FUND. Mr. DISRAELI said the Government had promised to bring in a bill on this subject ; otherwise he and his friends would have introduced one. He wished to know when the bill would be laid before the house ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the bill to which the right hon. gentleman referred had been prepared before he succeeded to his present office, and had been some time under the consideration of the Go vernment. It was now in an advanced state, and he should have been prepared, after giving it some further consideration, to ask leave for its introduction, had he seen any probability of its receiving duo consideration in the present session. But in the present state of the public business he did not think there was any chance of its passing ; therefore ho saw no use in merely laying it on the table. THE DEBATE ON ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM. Mr. LINDSAY asked if the noble lord at the head of the Government would fix any night for the resumption of the debate which was adjourned on Tuesday last, and which now stood at the bottom of the orders ? Lord PALMERSTON—I have postponed public business several times for the convenience of hon. mem bers who wished to bring important questions before the house. (Hear, bear.) But the season is now far ad vanced. Everybody knows that, by a resolution of the House of Lords, bills which arc sent up there before the 24th of July, unless bills of supply or on questions of urgency, will not be proceeded with by that house ; and I am sorry to say that, until the business of the Go vernment has made further progress, I shall not feel myself justified in postponing that business for the con venience of individual members. (Hear.) Mr. LINDSAY—After the answer of the noble lord, and after what fell from a member of the Government, the other evening, I beg to give notice that to-morrow, upon the motion for the adjournment of the house to Monday, I shall repeat, in my place here, the statement which I made elsewhere ; and I hope to satisfy the house that I was not uttering a " ribald falsehood." (Hear.) KINGSTOWN HARBOUR. In reply to Mr. IL HERBERT, Mr. WILSON Mated that the Government, after due inquiry, had given instructiJns for the works at Rings sto wn Harbour t..) proceed as they bad before done. TENANTS' IMPROVEMENT COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL. The house having resumed, the committee proceeded with the discus s ion of clause 4, which involves the claim for compensation for the improvement of waste lands. Mr. FRENCH said that he regarded the clause as one of the most important of the whole bill, and without it the bill would not give satisfaction to the people of Ire land. He should take the sense of the committee on the retention of the words giving compensation for the re clamation of waste lands. Mr. POLLARD-URQ UHARTsaid it would be a per fect mockery to procred with the bill without this clause. Mr. BLAND agreed with his hon. friends in regard ing the principle of compensation for the reclamation of waste lands the most important in the bill. Mr. HORSINIAN admitted that the improvement of wastelands was most desirable,and ought to be encouraged. But there were great difficulties as to how the compensa tion could bea warded—so great, indeed, that he thought it better not to insert in the class of cases to be compen sated that of the improvement of waste lands. He did not insert it, because there was no fair hope of carrying it. Mr. MAGUIRE should like to know what the right hon, gentleman the Attorney-General for Ireland, who was solemnly pledged to procure a good tenants' com pensation bill, thought of the omission of this principle from the bill Mr. KIRK aivoeated the principle of compensation for waste land improvement as a matter of justice. Captain JONES said it seemed to him that hon. gen tlemen opposite did not wish to stop short of taking away all the property from the landlords, and leaving them nothing but rent charges on the land. (Hear.) He thought the principle of waste land compensation would lead to endless litiotion between landlords and tenants, Mr. S. FITZGERALD thought the reclamation of waste lands was not an improvement of that character which, if landlords did not make, tenants should make for them against their will. ([Tear.) Mr. NAPIER said this bill was composed of two bills, and only one part of it was his, and the part they were now discussing was not his. Mr. Serjeant SHEL' was exceedingly disappointed at the course taken by the Government, and he almost despaired of any good being done by this bill after hav ing seen the amendments proposed by the Government. If the bill passed as proposed, the landlord in such a case would be furced to allow compensation for the land, and would be prevented from committing an act of the grossest injustice. If the clause was struck out there would be little left in the bill worth having. These im provements req u i re d no cap i ta l to effect them, and afforded the small holders an opportunity of employing their surplus labour, and there would be no difficulty in estimating the value of them. Lord PALMERSTON thought it would be better to confine themselves to the bill, instead of fighting their battles over again, as some gentlemen seemed disposed to do. He considered that those gentlemen who were anxious the bill should pass would do better if, instead of insisting on every provision they thought conducive to their object, they endeavoured to shape it in such a way as would give some chance of its passing this session. That would be a mo re pru d ent course t h an t o persist year after year in sending up a bill to the Lords in order to be rejected. He fully admitted that the improvement of the wast e l an d s was an o bj ect muc h t o b e desired for the improvement of Ireland, and he agreed with the hen, and learned gentleman that any attempt to do so on a large scale was not likely to prove remunerative ; he had tried the experiment himself, and would not recom mend any of his friends to do so. He was still of the opinion he had expressed in the committee up-stairs, that this part of the bill was at variance with sound principles. All contracts and arrangements between buyer and seller ought to be left to the parties to be re gulated, and any interference by law was vicious ; a landowner was nothing but a seller, and the tenant the buyer, of the occupation. He would appeal to the hen. gentlemen who were anxious for the success of the bill to consent to such changes as would insure the passing of a measure which he believed would confer a great benefit on the landlords and tenants of Ireland. After a few words from several hon. members, The question whether the words relating to waste lands should stand part of the bill was then put by the chairman, and upon a division there were— Ayes Noes 47 93-46 Mr. Sergeant SHEE then moved the insert►on of some words providing compensation for the main draining or thorough draining of land, or for the improvement of it by irrigation. The learned gentleman read some extracts from the works of Sir Robert Kane and others, upon the importance of drainage to the agricultural prosperity of Ireland. Colonel DUNNE opposed the amendment upon the same grounds as those upon which it was objected to last year, when the same proposition was negatived by 32 to 8 votes. Mr. POLLARD URQUHART, in support of the amendment, said that all tourists in Ireland had spoken of the want of drainage in that country. He believed that in Warwickshire and Lincolnshire, if not in other parts of England, there was a tenant right custom about drainage, and no difficulty was found in carrying it into operntion. Mr. NAPIER said that what the select committee considered upon this subject was, that all improvements within the soil should only be made by express contract; for their value could not be estimated without taking up all the ground, which would be very destructive. This was the opinion they came to, after a great deal of dis cu,sion, and the learned serjeant was a member of the committee. Dir. Serjeaut WILE denied that lie had ever agreed to %vt, e " 4p. hey i r ; v ( jE,I l rst , ,Go lor e 3 of rr per l ote e 0 )or 5i );tll
