Seducer Whalebone BURIAL BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill several amendments were moved and negatived without a divi- sion. Viscount EBRINGTON then moved the insertion of the following clause :—Whereas the diversity of arrange ments required by different bishops as the condition of their consecrating burial grounds have occasioned much perplexity to the people and reproach to the Church of England, and also much inconvenience to the inhabi tants of certain towrs engaged in providing public burial grounds, under the acts 16 and 17 Vict., chap. 134, and 17 and 18 Vict., chap. 87 : Be it enacted,—That nothing in those acts contained shall render it necessary for the burial board of any town or parish to do more than prove, to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State, that they have provided a fit and proper burial ground, with such lines of demarcation between the parts intended for the interment of members of the Church of England and persons not belonging to that Church respectively as have been generally deemed requisite, and that having done so they have invited the bishop of the diocese to consecrate the said first-men tioned part of such burial ground ; and in the event of such bishop, as the condition of hiscori , ecrating the same, requiring the construction of walls or other unreasonable and unseemly partitions between the several parts of the said burial ground, contrary to the determination of the said burial board, it shall be lawful, notwithstanding, for one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, in his discretion, to declare the provisions of the said act to have been sufficiently complied with in respect of pro viding a consecrated part of such burial ground ; and no proceedings shall be institute.] against any minister of the Church of England on account of his having offi ciated at any interment in such ground altar it has been so approved by the Secretary of State, and before its consecration by the bishop of the diocese. Mr. FERGUSSON seconded the adoption of the clause proposed by the noble lord, considering it calcu lated to put an end to the evils complained of. Sir G. GREY did not see the good that was to be effected by the clause proposed by the noble lord, nor did he think it was called for by the public. He must therefore vote against it. _ Mr. HENLEY—Considering that the operation of the clause would make confusion worse confounded, and would impose on the Secretary of State a task of great difficulty, felt bound to oppose it. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought that the question of boundary should be left to the Burial Board, and that a short clause to that effect would do all that the noble lord required. Mr. W. J. FOX, thinking the clause most beneficial, would give it his support. Mr. PELLA.TT supported the clause, thinking its provisions necessary. Mr.WIGRAM thought that as long as burial grounds were consecrated, the parties officiating ought to be pro- perly qualified. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE supported the clause, thinking that Dissenters ought to have the privilege of the services of their own clergymen at their own burials. The ATTORNEY•GENERA L objected to the clause, thinking it would not effect the object the noble lord had in view. Mr. HADFIELD trusted that the noble lord would persevere in the clause, and divide the house upon it. Mr. BARROW objected to the clause. Mr. BELL supported the clause. After some observations from Mr. Cowper, Mr. Spooner, Viscount Ebrington, Sir George Grey, and Mr. Malins, The house divided, when the numbers were, Fur the second reading of the clause 26 Against it . 29 Majority - • The clause was accordingly thrown out. Mr. BELL, in the absence of Mr. Miall, moved the insertion of the following clauses :—" 1. Where any unconsecrated burial grounds have been closed under. the herein recited acts, it shall be lawful to provide a new burial ground under such and the present acts to be either in part or wholly unconsecrated, notwithstanding that the parochial burial ground may not have been closed. 2. Where for any reagon it may be deemed undesirable to erect in the consecrated part of a burial ground a chapel for the performance of Divine service, it shall be obligatory on the burial ground to erect a chapel on the unconsecrated part thereof, unless it shall be determined by three fourths of the vestry that the same is undesir• able and unnecessary, as hereinbefore provided. 3. All notices relative to the closing of burial grounds, or of vestry meetings to be held in pursuance of this and_ of the herein recited acts, shall be affixed to the doors of all places of worship in the respective parishes to which they refer. Each of them, however, after a short discussion, was rejected without divisions. Mr. PE GLATT, who had also given notice of a clause respecting fees and payments for interments, withdrew it. The bill was afterwards read a third time and passed. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL. On the order of the day for the adjourned debate upon the addition of a clause providing an appeal to Quarter Sessions, The clause was negatived without any discussion. Mr. M‘MATION then proposed the insertion of a clause, the object of which he stated was to prevent frivolous and vexatious prosecutions, by empowering magistrates to award to the defendant his costs, and also an alio wance for loss of time in case of acquittal, which ex t ..enses should be paid by the prosecutor ; and in cases where the prosecution should appear to be malicious or vexatious, that the justices should have further power to award to the defendant a further sum of money not exceeding 201. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said tbat this clause was most objectionable, and was utterly at variance with the established principle and practice of criminal law in this country. Mr. WATSON also condemned the tendency of such a clause to introduce an injurious element into the ad ministration of the law ; though he admitted that the question as to the propriety of compensating prisoners in cases of malicious or vexatious prosecutions was well worthy of consideration at some future period. He further thought that the principle on which the bill itself was founded was bad ; and that, although we were much indebted to the magistracy for the zealous and conscientious manner in which they discharged their duties, the country could scarcely have confidence in them as competent persons to be entrusted with sum mary jurisdiction in criminal cases. Mr. HENLEY opposed the amendment, and Mr. HADFIELD supported it. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE said that although he was of opinion that the public ought to compensate prisoners who had been unjustly accused, he did not approve of the means by which this bill sought to attain that object. j[LEFT SITTING.] ADULTERATION . OF FOOD, URINES, DIZUGS, (I:c., COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) The committee re-assembled this morning shortly be fore one o'clock, there being present Mr. Seholefield, chairman ; Lord Goderich, Mr. Otway, and Mr. Kin naird, and the Hon. Mr. Villiers. The first witness called was Mr. Boddington, solici tor of Leamington, and chairman of the Local Board of Health in that town. He stated in effect that he concurred generally in the evidence given by Mr. Redwood and Mr. Phillips, tend ing to show that adulterations of food, &c., had been much over-rated. He thought certain restrictions upon tradesmen for the protection of consumers would operate beneficially ; but he at the same time considered that the admixture of inno cuous ingredients with some articles s uch as chicory with coffee—was quite justifiable, because it con tributed to reduce their price. In the case of coffee, he thought that it could not be sold to the consumer at such a low price as it was now unless chicory was to some extent mixed with it. In short, he thought it quite sufficient for the consumer if he obtained the article he required at the lowest possible price. If the competi tion, which at present resulted in a reduction of price upon articles of common consumption—though these articles were harmlessly adulterated--were inter fered with, it would produce a series of small monopolies in the genuine article, which would be extremely inconvenient, as well as unjust to the public. By Mr. Villiers —Ile must be underotood, in what he had said, to draw a distinction between articles add terated with ingredients of a deleterious or injurious nature, and those which were merely mixed with inno cent ingredients ; but. he could not commit himself to draw the line between them. The examination of Mr. Postgate was afterwards re sumed, and occupied the attention of the Committee . until very shortly before they rose. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(Y. ESTE R DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at five o'clock. SALE OF BEER BILL. Earl GREY presented 14 petitions in favour of the above bill, siened by upwards of 6,000. Lord MONTEAGLE presented several petitions to the same effect. Lord BESSBOROUGH presented several petitions from Bradford and York against the Beer Bill. 'RAISING SUNKEN VESSELS. The Earl of HARD WICKE presented a petition from a gentleman named Mr. Edward Austen, the inventor of a patented plan for raising sunken vessels, and also for lifting them over bars. The petitioner stated that ho had laid his plan before the Admiralty Board, and they had reported favourably of the plan, but in consequence of the board's hesitation to adopt the ap paratus, the petitioner applied to the Turkish ambas sador, who on the part of his Government was disposed to accept the plan, and thepetitioner applied to the Board of Admiralty for a copy of the report in order to lay it before the Turkish authorities. The statements contained in the petition were highly important and in teresting, and deserved the most serious consideration of her Majesty's Government at this particular moment. The noble lord proceeded to read a number of loiters, all speaking in the highe•t praise of the invention, and stated that there could be no doubt of its value. The Board of Ad niralty had declined to produce the report a ked for, aid the petitioner therefore applied to this house for redress. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from the Manchester Chamber of Commerce against the Limited Liability Bill. NEW RIVER COMPANY BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. INVERNESS BRIDGE BILL. On the motion of the Duke of ARGYLL the standing order No. 179, sec. 4, was considered and dispensed with, and the Inverness Bridge Bill was read a second time. NUISANCES REMOVAL BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. LIMITED LIABILITY BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY then rose to move that the Limited Liability Bill, having been introduced and passed by the House of Commons, in conformity with an unanimous resolution of that house declaring that the law of partnership which renders every person who, though not an ostensible partner, shares thek, profits of a trading concern, liableto the whole of the debts, is unsatisfactory, and should be so far modified as to permit persons to contribute to the capital of such con cerns on terms of sharing their profits, without incuring liability beyond a limited amount ; and the progress of the bill having been delayed by the lengthened discussions on the conduct of the war, which prevented it being sent up to this house at an earlier period, and great in convenience being experienced from the suspeusionof many undertaking , : of great importance, consequent on the stoppage of all charters and acts of Parliament for giving limited liability, in the anticipation of Parliament legis lating on the subject, the circumstances which render legislation cn the subject matter of the said bill expe dient are of such urgency as to render the immediate con sideration of the saineneceisary. The noble lord proceeded to urge the importance of the measure, which he said involved a principle to which no well-founded objection would be offered. It was of the highest importance to pass such a measure, as the Board of Trade had refused to exercise the power of granting charters to companies, in consequence of the invidious position in which they felt such a power placed them. A. vast number of valu able undertakings were waiting fur the settlement of the question in order that they might be brought into existence. Lord REDESDALE opposed the motion on the ground that the noble lord had failed to make out that this measure was one of such urgency as to demand a suspension of the standing order. He con tended that the Government were themselves to blame for not bringing forward the measure until towards the close of the session. He did not mean to pass any opinion upon the merits of the bill itself. All he felt it was his duty to do was to oppose the suspension of their standing order on the simple ground that there was no case of urgency shown in respect of this measure. The effect of the standing order had been most beneficial in facilitating the progress of business in both Houses of Parliament. Lord LYTTELTON would vote against the resolu tion, although ho strongly approved of the principle of the measure ; but he had been told that the details were much wanting in those guards and securities that were necessary. Earl GRANVILLE did not think that any objection would have been made to the course which the Govern ment proposed to take that night. When his noble friend proposed the order to the house last year, the then Prime Minister pointed out the inconvenience that would arise from adopting arbitrarily a rule of this kind. After commenting on the absence of the powerful mem bers of the Opposition, who he said had had ample time come to town if they intended to oppose the measure, the noble earl observed that if their lordships wished for a discussion of the bill, there could be an adjourned debate on the second reading, and a full consideration of its provisions in committee. He could only say that if their lordships desired to have a delay of a few days, to enable them to have that discussion, there would be no objection on the part of the Government. Earl GREY was greatly astonished when he heard that Government had given notice of their intention to propose the motion which had been moved that evening. The adoption of the resolution had led to an improve ment in the mode of transacting business. He was un able to express his opinion decidedly on the effect which the proposed alteration would have, but he was inclined to favour the principle of the measure. It was clear that the bill had received a very imperfect and a most hasty consideration in the other House of Parliament. The bill would greatly affect the commercial honour of the coun try. The Government might think to redeem the cha racter of the session and prove that it had not been alto gether an abortive one, but by the course they were pur suing they would lose more than would gain. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that if their lordships adopted the course recommended by his noble friend they would do more to weaken the influence of that house in the country than anything they had done these many years, If ever there was a bill that called for immediate and urgent consideration, it was this ; and he implored their lordships to sit to September, if it were necessary, but not to throw aside this important ques tion on any pedantic formality. Lord ST. LEONARDS said that should the resolu tion moved be carried, and should the bill be read a second time, he should propose that a week or ten days be given, in order that noble lords who were not in at tendance might be in their places to discuss the measure in committee. The law of the country, as it at present stood, was not opposed to the principle of limited liabi lity, for any person or company in their dealings might in their contracts limit the amount of their liabilities. The persons possessing this privilege were compelled, and wisely so, to submit to numerous regulations to pro vide proper safeguards, but none were provided by this bill, nor was the slightest security afforded by it against the formation and establishment of bubble companies of the worst description. Her Majesty's Government might carry the bill, but they would not obtain for it the deliberate sanction of their lordships' house. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that nothing was required by the resolution before their lordships than that which was provided for in the standing order itself, which allowed bills of urgency to pass. He believed that their lordships would strike a very dangerous blow at the constitution of the country, if by any stringent resolutions they refused to discuss measures of legisla tive importance. Lord MONTEAGLE thought that it would be in every respect better if they were to repeal altogether the standing order, rather than suspend it upon an cc casi oe like the present. The present bill bad occupied the House of Commons from May to August, and their lordships were now called upon within a few days of the close of the session to pass a measure which it had been considered necessary to discuss at such length in another place. While under discussion iu the House of Commons the bill had been three times revised and reprinted ; and he therefore called upon the house not to consent to con sider so important a measure under circumstances which would totally preclude them from giving to it that calm consideration which it imperatively required. se Their lordships then divided, where there appeared, on the motion for suspending the standing order— Contents Non-contents Majority for the motion —24 The standing order was then ordered to be dispensed with. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY thereupon moved the second reading of the bill. In doing so he stated that in the opinion of her Majesty's Government the time had come when it was absolutely necessary that souse measure of this kind should pass, and called the atten tion of their lordships to circumstances which had con vinced him of the absolute necessity of an alteration in the law with respect to the grant of the privilege of limited liability. He was convinced their lordships would best consult the interests of the country if they did in this matter what they had done in others, namely, unfetter all the existing restrictions on the investment of capital, and leave it to each individual to do with his money what he thought would best conduce to his own interests. Ile trusted their lordships would read the bill a second time, believing it was one which was loudly called for by the times in which we lived. Earl GREY said his leanings were in favour of this bill ; but he objected simply to their lordships discussing at this time, and in the present state of the P e o r a e se! S great change in our comwerciai law, to which l ike wz" due no opportunity at present of giving anything committee care and deliberation. h i e se ether House of to L th o e rd pr ß in E ci p pl E e o B f D th A e L b E ill tshaaidn he e he w r a w s 1.1 , 1 the measure had not received in r h d it deserved, but b li e u r t b fa e r t e h u o r u a g b h l e t WYNFORD and very Parliament much the tha r t After some observations e d v u er e s d e. eliberat fr io o n in w h L ti o c sup passed l,.Lr etr t o h p r o o l u i t g an h The Sale of Beer, Stc., Bill. passed a second through Lord DENMAN, the bill was The Downing-street Public Offices Extension Bill was read Bill and the ension Bill committee. reaTdhae Militia inßesodtsp • Bill were advanced a stage, Buildings The Customs Tariff Act Amendment and Consolida tion The Dissenters' Marriages sroal)l,ticnoutnamnciett(;.o. 2) Bill was read a third time, as Was also the Customs PASSENGER ACT AMENDMENT BILL.

Secretary of State for War and the Secretary for Fo rt,ign Affairs, said there never was a bill broueht before Parliament which was liable to stronger • ebjection, and that quite irrespective of the-policy of the war. In the then state of the house it wou;d be perfectly idle for him to enter further into the subject ; and he should only say that be disapproved most strong ;,y of the measure. Earl GRANVILLE explained the cause of absence from the house at that moment of the Secretary for War and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and made some playful observations in rt'f,rence to his noble friend (Earl Grey) complaining of that absence just after he had re turned to the house from a six weeks' sojourn in the country. Earl GREY said he had not made it any matter of re proach that so few peers were present. The bill was then read a third time and passed, Earl Grey saying, with marked emphasis, "Not content," on the question that it pass having been put. ISLAND OF TOBAGO LOAN BILL. This bill passed through committee. ORDNANCE BOARD BILL. On the motion that the circumstances which rendered legislation necessary on the subject-matter of this bill were of such urgency as to require immediate consi deration. Earl GREY said no difficulty had existed to prevent this bill being brought forward at a much earlier period of the session. Lord PANMURE said a few words in reply, in the courso of which he explained that the object of the bill was simply to transfer the management of the Board of Ordnance to the Secretary of State for War. That arrange ment bad been tried for some time, and so far asst bad gm° he had every reason to believe that it . had work e d satisfactorily to the public service, and that it would re sult in a considerable saving of expenditure. The motion for suspending the standing order was agreed to, and the bill was read a second time. LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND) ADVANCES BILL. NAVIGATION WORKS (IRELAND BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved, that as the Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Advances Bill.iand the Navigation Works (Ireland) Bill relate almost exclu sively to the repayment or application bf moneys granted by Parliament, and so far as such provisions are con cerned may be read a second time as bills of aid or ifup ply, and as no objection has been raised to any of the said bills, it is expedient that the same be allowed to proceed if the house shall think fit so to order..' The motion was agreed to, and the' bills were read a second time. THE APPROPRIATION BILL. The Appropriation Bill was introduced and read a first time. The house adjourned at ten minutes past nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. Stunners' Divorce Bill was read a third time and passed. EXCHEQUER BILLS (7,000,0001.) BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY expressed his opinion that it was impolitic to sdd such a large sum as this to the unfunded debt, for it was only postponing the funded debt; for instance. 2,000,0001. of the years '57, '53, and '59 were already forestalled, which be thought a solid reason for objecting to this bill. If the house bad done nothing else, as some people said, it bad certainly voted money in the most liberal manner. The house have this year voted no less than 92,000,0001., or very nearly so, of which 69,000,0001. are taxation ; a loan of 16,000,0001., and this additional 7,000,0001. He be lieved that all our expenditure, enormous as it was, could not amount to this enormous sum. He bad great doubts if we knew what we ,were about in voting all those vast war supplies. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said with regard to the increase of the unfunded debt it was not considerable as compared with the late war and later periods, though it was larger than any one could wish if there was any option. The house ought also to bear in mind there was a considerable amount of navy bills, ordnance bills, and other bills afloat in former times, whereas now the whole of the unfunded debt was represented by the Exchequer Bonds now ou'• standing. In order to defray large demands upon the finances of the country, a Ways and Means Bill was necessary at the very commencement of the year ; and he thought there was no ground for supposirg that there was any error in his calculations. No advance had been made from the Savings Banks money for those purposes, and it was not his intention to touch that money. (Hear.) The bill was then read a third time, and passed. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. On the order of the day - for the third reading of this Lord J. RUSSELL rose and said he wished to offer a few remarks to the house on this subject. He be• lieved, whether we considered the amount of money voted this year by the house, or whether we looked at the prospect before us, it was a matter of deep importance. Taking these matters into considera tion, if we look to the prosperity of the war, and, looking to our navy, great as it was, it was evident the enemy did not mean to meet us in that way. We were now in the month of August, and the prospects were not more favourable. With respect to our prospect in the Black Sea, there was danger to Turkey on the Asiatic frontier. He was in hopes there would be some strength afforded by a foreign enlistment bill, but in that hope he was disappointed. Still no such force had been sent to the scene of action, and therefore, with regard to the Asiatic frontier, we had no decisive prospect of safety there. The force now in the Crimea would be met by a large Russian army, increased by large forces from Poland and other places. Those were matters of very great importance, and such as re quired the utmost consideration. It would be the business of the Government to consider the means for the next cam paign ; but on that he wished to say nothing, for already too much publicity had been given to those measures. It was not his intention to revive the discussion of the other evening with regard to a particular proposition of limitation or counterpoise, or any other scheme by which the preponderance of Russia should be put an end to in the Black Sea, but to refer partly to what had occurred, and partly to the future. With regard to himself, although he entirely acquiesced in the decision of his noble friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that it was advantaw ous for the public service that his desratchea containing an account of his proceedings at Vienna could not be produced, he hoped the time would come when they might be given entire, without garbling or on:fissions—when Parliament and the country would be enabled to form a correq, estimate of his motives and. conduct. It would have been observed that the Turkish Ambassador at Vienna, who was a man as conversant with European affairs as any person he had met with, and knew the interests of his own country, had not stated his dissatisfaction of the terms proposed by the Austrian Government, nor had they heard whe ther the proposition was received in a similar manner at Constantinople as it was at London and Paris; and if not the Turkish Government must have been of opinion that the terms proposed by Austria were sufficient for the security of Turkey. If, therefore, the course of the war had been changed, and they were called on to continue it for the maintenance of the military and naval reputa tion of England and France, and not for the security of Turkey, no doubt Turkey, as they had. been the means of saving her,would contribute to their assistance ; but, in that case, there must be no more Turkish loans and guarantees, but they must give her downright plain subsidies. Such, he thought, must be the inevitable re sult, if the Turkish Government be of opinion at any time that sufficient terms of peace had been proposed. He was disposed to pay the utmost attention to any o opinion their ally, France, might give with referoenlcde be negotiations for peace should such arise, and it w the duty of the English Government to connsid.euer one whole of the circumstances, who, he hoped, hand, continue honourable and safe, and, on the be e other, bn hand, would not consent to any terms they did not think ed. Carr re -t.hat of ying the war when such terms couldntions spect, then, to the three; sanqtychee preparations for the negotiations for peace on the war at presnedn future campaign, a, e coul d on ly say that there that might a rise, n ean c re i n n ce placed • never could be gre ater in a Gt. vernment than that reporethem b y the bill they were about to read a third time, and the hous e wou ld have a right to call on them t at the commence ment of the ne xt session to sho w their confidence had no t been misplaced. He next advert e d to the sum of for th grantede money Conveyance of the Sardinian troops to the seat of war, in consequence of a treaty en tered into with the King of Sardinia, and in doing so could not help calling attention to their gallantry and fidelity to the cause of Europe, and the general support that cause had received at the hands of the king and his ministers—(hear)—and who had waived all claims to any concessions it might have been inexpedient for this country and France to grant him. (Hear, hear.) He had come forward boldly and cordially as an ally, and had sent so me o f the best troops in Europe to the field of battle, where he was certain, if occasion offered, these troops would sustain the reputation they had acquired during every period of European history. But if the King of Sardinia and his ministers have acted in this manner (whilst subjecting their country to immediate peril) to uphold the general balance of power in Europe, it was not to be supposed that they did not expect to obtain the moral support of this country, in a cause which they, as well as Sardinia, had at heart—that of seeing a better system of government prevailing in Pied mont and Italy, and their anxiety for the accomplish ment of which he gave them great credit. Lord John then alluded to the present state of Piedmont, the dis orders of which he hoped to see checked, and be no longer consecrated as itlwere by the Government, to the state of the Two Sicilier, to Tuscany, and to the occupa tion of Rome by the French.
