HOBHOUSE'S ACT. In reply to Mr. HENLEY, Sir B. HALL said he was pledged to bring in - a bill as soon as the" Metropolis Bill was passed to amend Hob house's Act ; but ir E the house thought it better to leave Hobhouse's Act as it was, he had no olijection to du so. He would have clauses drawn, and euhMit them to the house, as t) having the polling in wards, and if the house were in favour of the mode, he should be happy to adopt that or anye. other suggestion'-not unfavourable to the principle of the bill. CONSULAR ESTABLISHMENTS. Mr. WISE gave notice that he would postpone his motion on the above subject to the sth of June. ACCOMMODATION IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr...H: BARING asked the First Commissiober of Works whether, by some communication with the Lord Chamberlain's Department, means could not be, found to secure, during, debate, exclusively for the use of members of this house, the very small space at the bar of the House of Lords ? Sir W. MOLESWORTH said he was sorry he could not Live any assistance. The arrangements in the HoOPs4'of Lords were under the direction "of the Black Rod. The only way he could Suggest wag, that tbo hon. member should get some peer to move for the small space before the bar to be allotted for hon. membe ra. LAW OF PARTNERSHIP.

DUBLIN AND EDlNBUitiEtli POST-OFFICES.

Captain KNOX asked: tjk'e First Lord of the Tr oasury whether any provisionhtWbeen made, and to vi ex tent, for the ,widows of officers who had fallen t. . died in the service of the Crown during the present wa.':•? Mr. PEEL said, by the regulations now in iorce, widows of officers were entitled to pensions, and i t was intended to extend that favour. DISTRIBUTION OF MEDALS TO-MORE OW. Mr. STANLEY asked her Majesty's Government if any accommodation was to be provided for member of the House of Commvps, to enable them to witness the interesting ceremony of her Majesty presenting t e Cri mean medals on Friday at the Horse Guards, an winA facilities would be given to the public ? Mr. WIALSON replied there was accommodatv?r being provided for viewing the exhibition —(laug•htr: I—to morrow ; but they were - principally intended for adie9. However, accommodatiA wduld be provided for me,n bers of the house, who woulit receive their tickets this evening. - _ _ Mr. VANCE—WiII members' tickets be transferable to ladies ? (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. WlLSON—Mentlsers may do what they like with their tickets. NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked the First Lord of the Treasury if any propositions for concluding the var in lithe East had emanated from the Austian Govert ment, or had, been transmitted through the French Govern ment, since the last protocol of April 26, 1856' ; and whether the documents containing such propositi me, if any, could be placid on the table of the house? ' Lcrd PALMEItStON said he had already ant veered the same question the other evening. The reply Ito bad now to make was, that there bad been communi': ations pass:ng between the Governments of England, ranee, and Austria, but no formal communications ba , l taken place which could be with propriety laid upi,a the table. SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. STIRLING postponed the second reading of this bill until to-morrow. ' - ' Mr. HA.DFIELD objected \re repeated pol pone ment of this measure, and tla 4 - 10:0 moved, as ,t had been'again put off, that it be re second time th at day viz mouths. ' ' Mr. STIRLING said that so far as he was cor.: 3rned he had, merely postponed the bill for the i:onve nience of the house. The hoUse had heard so much lately upon this subject that be thought hon. member, would like to be relieved. If his bon, and learned frien(: which stood for to-morrow, were carried, the louse would, in all probability, hear no more of his L ill ; if not, the house would have before it that whic 1 to a certain extent embodied the views of a number C.' mem bers on the question of education, in . Scotland. (J-ear.) Mr. CRAM= and Mr. DISaAELI defended the t•ourse adopted by Mr. Stirling, which they chi racter ised as ,most proper,, and expressed a hope that the hon. member for Sheffield would withdr iw his amendment. Mr. HADFIELD thereupon withdrew his :.tnend ment, and the order for the second reading of the bill was entered for to-morrow. . PUBLICs'.I 3 ROSECITTORS BILL. On the order ofthe day for the second reading )f this bill, Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE asked the noble lord at the head of the Government to namb 3 Go veinment night ou which he might bring the bill for ward.. (Oh, oh.) Honourable members might laugh, iiut the Attorney-General was con4red to his re;flence with an attack of influenza, aid he (Mr. Phi] iniore ought' to be in bed himself. (Laughter.), Lord PALMERSTON replied that the Attorney- General had given notice of with to refer the bill to a eelect committee, and, with the hon. and learned gen tleman's permission, he would move ,that it be refei red in the nght hon. and learned gentleman's absence. Mr. PHILLIMORE .'planation as was tl e case he must offer a few words of planation as to tl,e rea sons why the bill had been introduced. Sir F. THESIGER said he thought the ho'. and learned gentleman had risen to make some arrant !inert with the noble lord opposite (Lord P a l mers t on ), v 3d he bad no idea that he.,. was going into explanat'. ins in order to do so. Mr. PHILLIMORE thereupon said he woul pro pose the second reading of the bill. The bill lost introduced because a number of abuses of para• c runt importance existed in the administration of critnina, jiss tice; and many of those abuses attributable to the want of a public prosecutor. It was on this ground that he asked the house to assent to the second reading c ! that bill, and thereby to declare its opinion that the me st ex alted function of the Crown, and the-meet sacred tights of the subject, should not be letift to the discrei ion of attorneys and policemen, but that the means of ei forc ing public justice should be entrusted to men of st:u ding and qualification for the duty. It was de dirty of the Government to provide in this way for the efficient administration of justice, because when ti. law by direct operation gave the rich an advantage ov. r the poor; and afforded more aid to the person who cou'd pay for it and put it in motion than the man who could tot, it was precisely to that extent that it established inji seine and bad a bad effect on the moral sentiments of the peo ple. It was impossible in the present state of the lave that instances of this kind-should not constantly occur, he. causeit threw upcn the injured party the task of ding ing the offender to justice, in spite of the spirit ~f its own language, which laid down that ever/ of fence was committed against the State itself. The hon. member then proceeded to enforce his vie vs in reference to the subject by reading the opinions of neny eminent lawyers on the necessity of there being a I. zhlie prosecutor, and said he was ashamed to enter into . the question of expense in co nnection with the est:lA.llBh meat of a public prosecutor. If he could establish the fact that such a measure was necessary for the better administration of crim inal j ustice, the ques• turn of expenSe was a subordinate matter, but far from adding to the expenses of criminal prosecutio - is, it would considerably diminish them, by putting a R:.. pp to f rivelotiaproseeutions, such as were often br ou g ht forward for ti tfteake of gain.,„ All be asked the house now to do w an • after to assent to the general principle , of the b ilT, t that he wo u ld g l a dly acce pt of any sugge ,, tions h " migght -be made with reference to its de toe showy it was the duty o f the the po„ andEn w the rich public that the right of rich in criminal matters stood on an equal footi n ari d pe s that . e ri eu e r u e l i f hl orphan u „,,„ tel g, and that women and the poor house o public justice, s e h t r r i e n e k i a n n ,, (l open ey n e o o vv f the case, from the im o , had neithe:r i :t e a h:e e n w e e r senor resolution, nor ex vided for them, when tf n e r? encounter .pro person to whom they m i gh r e d by a public grie w ; would-be at once supported, aPply, and by whonaiLtrhe'eya err e e the et to a Mr. EWART supported the principle o f but considered the whole subject sh ou l d be rf hill select committee.

It was the to propose to the ho a e r' s ' e et ' second time, and to friend the Attorney General allow the bill to be read a until a select postponecommitteehathde further proceeding on it examined the subject to t • -.a # THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENINGS MAY 18 1855 It was • not the bill he proposed it refer rto the committ ee , b ut related to (liar . the subject ; because the . referring the bill would be too narrow a proceeding to accomplish the object he bad in view. The subject was one well worthy consideration, that of enabling the poor, or : th ose who, from want of information or ignorance, could n 0 ,.. successfully prosecute a wrong before a court of justice, whilst, on the other h an d, factious and un founded prosecutions might be stopped. At the same time, the house should bear is mind the bill propdsed to place a great responsibility and - dilcretion in the hands of a public officer, who would be actuary in trust through the instrumentality of a variety of public agents. ,(Hear, Lear, hear.) It would be impossible for him to investigate or conduct the whole of the cases that would be brought before them, or decide whether they should be carried on or not, and that being so it appeared to him (Lord Palmerston) the subje'ct was one well deserving serious and deliberate consideration, requiring as ,a preliminary great information and i inves tigation. He suggested, whether the bill was read a Ithird time or not, that further proceedings on it should be suspencLid, and that the house should proceedl to the appointment of a committee to whom the subject should be referred. , Mr. PACKE was glad to hear that the hon. and gallant member had. consented to withdraw his bill, in order that it might be sent to a select committee ; he hoped that committee would have power to send fur papers and records. Sir F. THESIGER thought it totally unnecessary that the hon. member should withdraw his bill, in order that it might be referred to a select committee, because the effect of that would be to put an end to the second reading, as he understood the noble baronet's object was . to move as an amendment to the motion for the second reading that the whole subject Should be referred to a select committee. He thought the second reading should be postponed till after the committee had made its report. He agreed entirely with that amendment, and should second it. After some'observations from Mr. I. BUTT, the second reading of the bill was postponed, upon the understand ing that the whole subject should be referred to a select committee. so effective in checking crime that it was now proposed to make a considerable addition to its numbers. (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL thought his noble friend was quite justified, after the experiment he made last session, and the great indisposition that. was then felt to assent to his bill, in declining to propose any measure this year. At th,e same time, the present state of the police question was much to be regretted, but it had been hoped that ere this time the County Constabulary Act would have been more universally adopted. He was quite convinced that it would be greatly to the advantage of those counties * who ad o pt e d it, b ecause where it had already been put in force a comparison of the expense of the police with the loss the county had previously sustained from the existence of crime showed a balance in favour of the county. (Hear.) It appeared now, however, that they were going back, because, while they wanted a perfect system of police applicable to the whole country, they were asked to adopt a mea sure based upon the old parish constabulary principle. It would, therefore, be difficult to assent to the second reading of this bill, which was rather a retrogression than a movement in advance. (Hear.) • Mr. HENLEY bad looked for some evidence of the deplorable increase of crime which was said to have taken place, but he confessed he could find none, nor had he been able to discover that the state of those counties where the rural police had been adopted was better than that of those counties where it had not. The great difficulty in the matter was this, that if you got a rural police you could not dispense with the parish constable ; it was a delusion to sup pose that if you had a rural police you could get rid of the parish constable. As for the notion that crime was on the increase, so far as he was able to judge, he be lieved it had greatly diniinished both in quantity and quality. Mr. CAN ENDISH hoped the house would allow the bill to pass to a second reading. Mr. PACKE said crime had diminished in the county to which he belonged since the rural police system had been adopted there, and upon the strength of that expe riment he would recommend other counties to try it. Mr. ROBERT PALMER said it , ought to be made a Government question, for it was just as much the duty of the Government to prevent as to punish crime. Go vernment paid for the prosecution of criminalS at quarter sessions and assizes, and upon the same principle they ought to pay, or at least to contribute towards the main tenance of, a force whose chief function would be to pre , vent crime. But, be that as it sight, he protested against the charge of the police being entirely thrown upon real property, when it was established as much if not more for the protection of personal property than real property. Mr. DEEDES replied, and said that if the Govern ment would state their intention of bringing forward a measure on the subject, he would at once withdraw the present The amendment was then withdrawn, and the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be read a third time on Tuesday, the 22d May. PLACES OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP REGIS TRATION BILL: On the motion of Mr. A. PELLA.TT, this bill was read-a second time, and was ordered to be committed to- ITIGITO W. DISSENTERS' MARRIAGES BILL.; Mr. CHEETHAM moved that the housse resolve it self into committee on'this bill. • Mr. HENLEY ,objected to the bill, which, in his opinion, would have an injurious effect on Dissenters and Churchmen. Mr. COWPER said the main objection to the bill was, that it would diminish the amount of publicity now re quired by the law to rather too great,an extent. The bill repealed the publicity now required before the board of guardians, but it did not provide any sufficient security that the intention of the parties should be made'known so as to give an opportunity for the interference of those who might be able to detect the impropriety or illegality of the marriage. Then, again, .the amount of time between notice to the registrar and the celebration of the marriage was not sufficient. He thought the bill required more consideration, and trusted that the hon. gentleman would not press it at the present moment. Mr. CHEETHAM offered some observations in ex planation of the provisions of the bill, but they did not reach the gallery. Mr. WALPOLE believed that the bill, as it now stood, would tend to encourage clandestine marriages ; and as there were serious objections to many of the clauses, he would suggest to the hon. gentleman the propriety of reconsidering them, and submitting the bill in an amended shape on a future day. (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL thought it very natural that Dis senters should feel an objection with respect to the pre sent mode of proceeding before boards of guardians ; but when the hon. gentleman proposed an alteration in that respect, he ought to provide some sufficient mode of publicity. (Hear.) Re should be glad to forward the ob ject of the hon. member so far as it tended to the relief of Dissenters, but he thought the bill required more care ful consideration. (Hear.) Mr. T. CHAMBERS said the bill contained some provisions which were quite unnecesswry to attain the object of the hon. member, and. which might injuriously affect all classes, Churchmen as well as Dissenters. Mr. CHEETHAM-then withdrew his motion, and said be proposed-going into committee pro forma on Monday next, for the purpose of introducing certain 1 amendments to meet the objections which had been made to the bill as it now stood. PERSONAL ESTATES OF INTESTATES BILL. On the motion of 'Mr. L. KING, the house resolved itself into committee on this bill. On clause 1 being propbsed, 1 • Mr. HENLEY expressed a doubt whether it would be safe to proceed with the bill in the absence of the law officers of the Crown, seeing that the change proposed would alter the whole law tor the distribt!tipa of perso nal property in the kingdom. Mr. COLLIER said the bill proposed a serious alter ation in the rights of the heir-at-law, and he considered that alteration most objectionable. The other portions of the bill he thought would have a beneficial operation. Mr, MALINS thought the time had arrived when customs which 'interfered with the general ri , zhts of pro perty should be abolished, and the law of intestacy should be made uniforlo, and he therefore gave his sup port-to that portion of the bill which proposed to abolish the customs of London, and York. He also approved of that part of the bill which - proposed to assimilate the law with regard to advances by the father and the mo ther, but he objected to the proposed alteration with re gard to the rights of the heir-at-law. He would recom mend the hon. member to confine his bill to the two first objects. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LOCKE KING c msented to' withdraw the part of the bill which was objected to by the hon. and learned member (Mr. Malins). Sir F. THESIGER suggested that the operation of the act should not commence immediately upon its re cei nng the royal assent, but that an interval of three or six months should be allowed. Mr. MONTAGU CHAMBERS commended the man ner in which this bill was drawn, as being a model for ail acts, because it contained the whole law upon the subject with which it dealt. The clause was agreed to, as were clauses down to clause 9 inclusive. Clause 10 wa3 postponed, it order that words might be inserted to,extend the operation of the act to Ireland. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and a clause was added providing that the act shall not come into effect until the Ist November, 1855. The house then resumed, and the bill was reported. The other orders were postponed. GRAND JURIES. Mr. BOWYER obtained leave to introduce a bill to facilitate the despatch of business before grand juries in England and Wales,' by providing for the swearing of witnesses before the grand jury instead of, as at present, in court. RAILWAYS (IRELAND). Mr. I. BUTT asked leave to introduce a bill to con tinue the Railway Act (Ireland) Bill, 1851. NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT—WASTE LANDS (AUSTRALIA). . Lord J. RUSSELL moved for leave to introduce two bills, one "to enable her Majesty to assent to a bill as amended of the Legislature of New South Wales, to con fer a constitution on New South Wales, and to grant a civil list to her Majesty ;" the other, "to repeal the acts of Parliament now in force respecting the disposal of the waste lands of the Crown in her Majesty's Austratian colonies, and to make other proviiion in lieu thereof." His lordship said that tae bill ref-Tring to the conetitu-' tion of New South Wales was substantially similar in its provisions to that in regard to the colony of Victoria, which a few nights since he obtained leave to introduce. Mr. LOWE objected to the form of the measure in re gard to New South Wales, because, though intended to confer a constitution upon the colony, it would, he be lieved, have no such effect. Its effect, on the contrary,. would be to render nugatory the votes of the L ouse, and to leave the matterjust where it now stood. The noble lord proposed to omit some of the sections to which the colo nists attached the greatest importance,' and then pro posed, not that her Majesty should give her conseut to the bill, but to enable the Colonial Legislature to pass the bill if they thought proper. He believed that if the bill were to be passed in its Peesent shape it would be a perfect nullity, and would not have the slightest effect. He maintained•that if Parliament did legislate for the colonies, and take the matter in its own hand, it should do so upon grounds of its own, and not at the dictation oC the Legislative Assembly of the colony. The present act, unlike the act for Victoria, was directly opposed to the feelings of the people of the colony. He objected to the bill, because it perpetuated a most unjust division of the electoral system in the colony, and proposed to create a nominated instead of an elective Upper 'Chaeiber. Another ground of objection to the bill was the enor nous civil list proposed to be conferred by the bill„illud which bad been calculated 'upon the greaVy increased salaiies which had been , given in consequence of the deraege merit atendirig the discovery of gold in the colony, and net u pon a tfltieer whatrn a bel and n had s a t t a u t r e a d l s w t t t h e e f s t p h ,e i e ns i trusted, e t g t . t f i) o the hill b f a t a h e b e b e i n l 1 i i !e r lf d , u t h e ' a d t I iandrre/t i i i l s ar ob i j i . l e O c d t e k . m in s to h t i h c e la all) to give Consent, to p noble l o rd, who odious measUre; He would suggest to the house would not considerroicteebdeicno4mifnagrthweirthviitistbil. this sub ject, whether it would not t lin for consideration to as well as that. for Senth A 11 ra , who had,, no doub t , come somewhat better what to newly sendt° the b,ll whe ther they might not be able to of .an the Australian satisfactory law adapted to the whole a select committee for the pur d p e o v se ise of so c t o n n e s u i considering and colonies. Lord J. denied that he bad co me newly to •he had paid. considerable anen. troll to the matter, `and - it was in -consequence the . decision to which he had then arrived, and which - was supported by the House of Commons, tbatle now asked the subject, for in 1850 the house to consent at least to the introduction of the present bill. What the hon. member proposed was, in effect, that after having had a legislative sanction, and an assurance from the Secretary of State for the Colonie s, that the Crown would gladly receive from them any mea sure by which they proposed to create a coestitution fur themselves, the House of Com mons should no w turn round and say that it would completely ignore the while of their conduct, and throw aitogether aside the plan cf the constitution which they hail adopted. (Hear.) With re spect to the labours of a select committee in searching fir a constitution for the colony, he thought it would give rise to very great disappointment if legislation on the subject were to be postponed, as :it most certainly wculd by this step, for another year. The boo, me ti ber had taken a technical objection to the form in which the bill had been introduced, but which he admitted might be easily remedied by the insertion of a few words in the clause. Upon this point, however, he thought the hon. member was in error, because he (Lord John Russell) understood from the legal authority usually employed in f r aming the bills in the Colonial-office, that the oill would be perfectly efficient for its object. He considered it a groundless assertion on the part of the hon. mem ber, that the bill had been framed by a legislative coun cil elected by an imperfect and unequal system of elec tion ; because if they were to refuse to receive any mea sures from the colony until its representative system was reformed by an act of that house, it would be to delay legislation for an indefinite period, and to render nuga tory a large proportion of the measures which had been a l rea dy passed by the legislature of that colony. Ob jections had also been taken to the act of the Colonial ieegislature, on the ground that one of its chambers con sisted of a nominee council ; but there was nothing in the principle of a nominated council abhorrent to the theories and feelings of this country, and it was only until very recently that any other than councils of that sort existed in any of our colonies. Elected and nominated cham bers had' both their advantages ; but even if elected councils were considered the best, he could not believe that a nominated chamber was so entirely vicious and bad as to justify the house in refusing to receive with the attention which it might deserve every !ilea measure which might be pasied by such a council. (Hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman had admitted that he had himself considerable .difficulty in determining what would be the proper course to adopt. But where was the use of taking hold of trivial objections and of throwing impediments in the way of a settlement of this question? There were two ways in which the hen. and learned gentleman did not think it would be satisfactory ; and then he proposed an entirely new mode, which was to say to the colbuists who wished a constitution that they should not have it until all the colonial constitutions were thrown into hotcbpot before a committee of the House of Commons, and until that committee should de termine what was the best theoretical constitution which would most. suit their own views. That is, that the colonists should wait for another year, and that then they might have the satisfiction of gett•ng as good a con stitution a 4 the select committee of the House of Cem mons could frame. He (Lord J. Russell) could not see hoW the nenrse proposed, by the hon. and learned gen tleman could solve the difficulty, and he certainly thought it was beter to take the Legislature of New South Wales for a guide than to adopt any such proposition. Mr. DUFFY concurred in all the objections stated by the hon, and, learned member for Kidderminster. This country had offered a boon to the colonists, and now it was proposed to make a dishonest attempt to render null and void the offer made to New South Wale% He contended - that the Legislative Chamber would be nominated by the very class which the colo nists wanted to get rid of, and be complained greatly that the constitution of the council could not be changed without the consent of two-thirds of its members Lord RUSSELL begged to set the hon. member right on that point. It was proposed to give power by the act to effect that chauge by, the usual majority of the triernie-re of council. Mr. DUFFY could not see why an upper nominated charubt,r, having been repudiated in the Cape of Good Hope, in New Zealand, ,and elsewhere, should be in flicted on that colony. The whole of the colonists were opposed t, the nominated tipper chamber, and they had expressed their opposition to it in the most vehement terms in their petitions. An examination of the peti tions showed the remarkable result that there were 12,15 E signatures against the act, whereas there were only 228 signatures to the petitions in favour of the act and 48 for some modifications in it. It was plain, then, that the wishes of the colonists were utterly opposed to the bill, which would be a perpetual source of irritation if passed as it then stood. The colonists of New Si nth Wales would look to New Zealand, to Victoria, and to Van Diemen's Land, and they would never be content without an elective chamber. He should oppose the measure in all its stages. Mr. W. WILLIAMS entreated the noble lord not to pursue any course in opposition to the wishes of the colo nists. Hehoped he would not press the bill, but that he would be convinced from the information he had received that such a measure was directly the reverse of what the people of New South Wales desired. He thought it would be better to send back the bill to the colony, and let the people elect another assembly. Mr. J, BALL said the inconvenience of discussing a bill before it was laid oh the table of the house was ma nifested during this debate, for hon. member s h a d no t had an opportu n ity o f reading! the bill, and therefore their objeutions were in some instances groundless. This was the case in regard to one important point. It was proposed to give a power by the bill to put the constitu tion on the same f,oting as the other' laws, aud, instead of requiring a majority of two-thirds for its alteration, to require only an ordinary majority. (Hear.) With re spect to 'the petitions on which the hen. member laid such stress, it was well known that the signatures to the petitions laid on the table of that house were not always a safe guide in determining the opinion of the people on the merits of a measure, and in the case of these colonial petitions he was satisfied that those signatures did not fairly represent the sentiments of the people of New South Wales upon this measure. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. Leave was also given to Lord John Russell to bring in a bill to repeal the.acts of Parliament now in force respecting the disposal of the waste lands of the Crown in her Majesty's Australian colonies, and to make other provisions in lieu thereof. The New South %Vales Government Bill and the Waste Lands Australia Bill were brought in by Lord J. Russell, and read a first time. I. BUTT brought in his Railways Ireland Bill, which was read a first time. Tie house adjourned at a quarter past ten. LOSS OF THE SHIP JOHN. FALMOUTH, MAY 15. The bench sat yesterday, when further evidence was taken. On assembling again to-day the bench did not consider A necessary to call any further witnesses in the case, and, after the attorney fir the owners had made some comments on the evidence, the magistrates, assisted by Capt. Robertson, unanimously agreed to make the following report to the Board of Trade . . "That the ship was provided with four boats—three of which were efficient, the other doubtful ; that the lifeboat was neither stowed - in the proper place, nor prepared for immediate service, as directed by the act ; sod to these circumstances probably the staving and loss of the lifeboat, anti the delay iu endeavouring to get out the longboat, are to bo attributed. " That, with the exception of one signal lantern, there were no means on board the ship of making a signal of dis tress by night. We think that, had there been adequate means of making such signals, and had they been shown when the ship first got on shore, while the weather was moderate, the boats would have come off at an earlier period, and thus have rescued a much larger portion of passengers. Ttrat, with rev ect to the aboye deviations from the provisions of the Passengers' Act, we consider that the Governtrient emigration officer and owners of the ship are culpable. _ _ "That, either from the ignorance or gross and culpable negligence of the captain, the courss steered by his orders were the direct cause of bringing the vessel en the Manacle Rocks. " That after the vessel struck the conduct of the captain was most, reprehensible in every respect; he appears to have I aken no active means to save the lives of the passen gers, did not assist them to leave the ship, quitted her himself while many passengers were still in the rigging, and he and the mate were the only two persons who se cured anything for themselves, the captain saving his cloak and the mate his quadrant.

TATTERSALL'6.-YESTERD Subscribers mustered numerously, and the business that was transacted on the Derby presented features • f considerab'e importance. Before entering into details, however, it is necessary to state that the task of sepa rating the chaff from the grain was never more difficult. De Clara was very distinctly in the ascendant : at the commencement, sonic transactions at 5 to 1 and 9 to 2 were quietly booked; but towards the close there was so strong a rush to "get on," that offers of 4 to 1 and 7 to 2 Were caught np with avidity. Lord of the Isles, recovered from the depression which he experienced at Bsth, was backed for a large sum of money ; 6,000 to 1,000 was taken in one bet; afterwards 5 to 1 was booked to several hundreds ; 1,000 even would have been betted he beats anything, " bar one." Wild Dayrell; meantime, had a down ward tendency. Notwithstanding a number of investments at 5 to 1, he dropped to 6 to 1, taken and offered. Rifleman was backed for nerly 3001., at 5 to 1 ; and Kingstown was supported in good quarters, at 12 to 1. The other bets on this event were to comparatively small sums. OAKS. At one time, 8 to 1 was laid against Nettle ; but sub sequently 7 to 1 would have been taken "to money." 7 to ,l was taken to various sums about Dame Judith, and 13 to 1 about Lady Litton.

Mr. DEEDES moved the second reading of this bill. The great object of the bill was to improve the provi sions of the Rural Police Act, and to make them more extensive. The measure he now proposed to read a second time had been referred to a select com mittee. Mr, RICE opposed the bill on the ground of the heavy local taxation it would impose. The hon. mem ber was understood to prefer the extension of the rural police to the whole of the country. He moved ai an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Sir J . LLO PE opposed the bill as expensive and unnecesFary, and stated that in consequence of the im proved condition of the people crime had so decreaqed that the gaols were half empty. In his county the gaol was constructed to accommodate 76 prisoners : it had now only 30 inmates. Under such circumstances be shoulthbe extremely unwilling to entail the expense of the rural police on the counties, even in the modified form proposed by his hon. friend. Mr, COWPER would support the second reading, deeming the bill a great improveinent on the existing system. _ _ - Mr. W. - MILES thought that Government, havin g let a flood of crime loose on the country by the establish ment of the ticket-of-leave system, should of itself pro pound a police system, and give the counties material as sistance in bearing the expense. He thanked his hon. friend for bringing in the bill, which was a step in the right direction, but thought that the responsibility of providing for a state of things which had been created by themselves rested with the Government. Lord PALMERSTON said the hon. member bad brought twq unfounded charges against him. In the first place, he said it was owing to the Government that transportation bad ceased, and, as a consequence, crime had increased ; in the next place, he said Government had not originated any measure upon this question of rural police. Now, ie. the first place, it was perfectly well known that the cessation of transportation was not at all the decision of the Government—the British Go vernment reluctantly submitted to it as a necessity im posed upon them by the decisions of the colories. It was 6ecause those prosperous and improving communities, feel ing that their civilisation and, character were injured by the perpetual influx of crime from this country, had re solved that they would not have any further increase , of transported criminals that the system of transportation was abandoned. Therefore, as far as the first charge was concerned, the Government were perfectly guiltless. A great deal of inconvenience arose from the cessation of the power of transporting to the colonies, and it then became a question what should be done with those per, suns who had gone through either the whole - or part of their sentence of imprisonment. Many persons sug gested that penal settlements should be established in various islands that were marked out, some nem. our coast and some in remote parts of the world ; but the objection to all those plans was this—Government were at no loss for places in which to confine convicts during I the period of their sentence of imprisonment, but there was difficulty in the way of disposing of them after wards, or of doing that which was accomplished by transportation. After a criminal had undergone his term of imprisonment be was allowed to be absorbed in the free population, and there he bad a chance of redeeming his character, and converting himself into a useful member of a free community ; but if you transported him to such a place as Nor folk Island he could have nd such chance, because in that island, and others that were suggested, there was no population to absorb him. (Hear, hear.) Nor could we have sent our convicts to foreign countries, b,eause foreign countries would have justly remonstrated against our inundating them with what might be called our flood of crime. Government had therefore no alternative but to resort to the experiment now in operation—an expe riment which had so far succeeded, and which granted to well-conducted convicts, after a certain period of their imprisonment had been' gone through, the same condi tional ticket of leave at home which Government bad been in the habit of giving them abroad: Then came the other‘Charge, that the Government had originated no measure upon this subject of county police. Now the hon. member could not have forgotten the manner in which the measure was met which he had the honour of proposing to the house in a former session. Government saw that many counties in England had adopted the permissive act to establish a rural police, and in those counties crime had diminished. They saw teat the floods of crime which had previously overrun those counties had been rolled back into neighbouring counties, where they had become unhealthy marshes, and therefore they proposed a gene ral drainage system. They proposed that every county should be compelled to establish a county police upon the same system. Nor was that measure based noon the principle of centralisation ; on the contrary, it sett the management and details of the plan in the hands of the local authorities ; but in spite of all that, the- propoi sal met.wittk a most_extraordivary reception, both from the members of .boroughs as well as the members for counties,, and the opposition to it was so great on all shies that he saw there was no more chance of its pas sing this hou=e than a palish constable in Somersetehire of appreheeding.a thief. (A laugh.) The hon. member said the_ reason why the permissive act was not brought more.inte.eperation.was the great expense which would attend it ; but if any one Would take-the trouble to place on one side the account what it cost a county in the shape of undetected crime, and put on the other hand the cost of a rural police, he was quite convinced the balance would be considerably in favour of the latter. If the hon. member would cast up such a total he would find that the people of Somersetehire paid a great deal more fur the pleasure of having, no police at all than they would have to pay for an efficient police to protect their pro perty, to prevent demoralisation, and to clear the county of its swarms of vagabonds ; but of course that was a quite a rnattee of opinion, which must be left to the quarter sessions of counties to decide for themselves. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the bill now under dis cussion, he perfectly agreed with those who thought it was an imperfect measure ; but the question he had to ask himself was this—Was ho justified in resisting a measure which to a certain de;ree mitigated the existing evil, for the purpose of allowing crime to grow greater, in order to oompel counties to adopt a better ? He thought not, and although the measure etas very im perfect, yet, under the circumstances he had stated, the house would perhaps do well to adopt it. (Hear.) The honourable member who last addressed them de nianded that if there was to be a general county police force, it should be paid for—at least partially —out of the public revenue; but let the hon. member recollect this, that if he letin the Government as paymaster, he mu 5t also let in the Government as commander-in-chief. Well, then, that proposal went to the establishment of a con• tral general police, under the control of the executive Government of the country, and although in some re spects that might be the more efficient police, ha never theless did not think on the whole that there would be any advantage in taking the management of the county police out of the hands of Vie local authorities.

It first began by an excessive thirst, so that I was fain to drink daily from 30 to 40 tumblers of - water, the greatest thirst being during the digestive proces, A strange feeling above the fundament follow d that unusual thirst. It came on with intolerable itchings, and next as if , an edged to o l was cu tti ng i nto it. These symptoms were followed by colic, and finally by a diarrhoea. Origlnallythese paroxysms came on yearly; a ft er a w hil e , severa l tunes in the course of the year ; and for some ears back 41rnost every mouth, until at last every week ; so that for seventeen years I have been labouring under an insufferable affliction, deprived of sleep, and so dizzy at times tha I could not help myself ; my stomach would fail me, and I thfis became a helpless ener vated invalid. At last, on the 15th of June, 18154, I was taken down with an alvine flux awl killing pains in the bowels. Often as I went to bed at night I thought I should never see morning. , My medical attendant and friend, in whom Nvv - s all my trust, ,could do nothing to alleviate my suffer' ngs, and sent me to one of his colleagues, whose attendance proved as unsuccessful ; all the remedies prescribed failing to afford me apy relief. It was at this stage of my disease that, on the sth of September last, I luckily met' ono of my friends, who told me that Mr. J. sI, Monier had passed through the Fame ordeal, and had been radically cured by Du Ba cry's Re valenta Arabica. Thereupon I immediately begat tto make use .of it, and soon after felt relieved ; and the extra• r dinary change for the better I have gradually ex perieneed since, owing to that excellent farina,' induce s me to believe that I am completely cured. —P.
