\g~{~s mrnemoriaL (No ! and hear.) These opinions may be disagreeable to some hon. gentlemen ; but even those fe whom they may be disagreeable, will admit that it is mil? fair and just that those persons who entertain them shim'' , freely and frankly express them ; and, for my own part, 1 am only giving utterance to my candid co viction upon the subject. lam jealous for the independence and dignity of the House of Lords, and I firmly believe that the appoint. ment of salaried officers to perform those judicial functions which that house has always discharged will have, I will not say an immediate effect, but it will have a tendency dangerous to the dignity and independence of that body. Then, sir, I object to this bill must strongly as assailing the independence and purity of the bench. (Loud cries of " Hear.") We have been told, indeed, that that part of the bill may be modified, and that it will not do to confine the choice of the officers to be elected to the judicial bench ; and I conceive that whatever vote we may come to to night, it is impossible for the house to pass a bill contain. ing the provisions which this bill contains with regard to that part of the subject. If you agree to those provisions you introduce a principle with regard to the judicial staff which the practice of many years has excluded, by holding out in a most unwise manner a prospect of advancement to judges in connection not only with their judicial but also with their political services. (Hear, hear.) You will place them in a position in which they have legislative functions to perform, and you will say to them, " make yourself agreeable to the Ministry of the day, not by your judicial, but by your legislative services, in order that you may hope for the farther advancement to the hereditary peerage." (Hear, hear.) Now, Sir, let us review the circum stances which have transpired in the course of this debate, and the speeches of those who have supported the measure. It must have been obvious to the house that ell the good which those hon. gentlemen have said of the mea sure has been much more than counterbalanced by the censure of it contained in their own speeches. For my own part, I believe that if all the opponents of the bill had been content to become a self - denying audience and to take no part in the discussion, but to listen to what was said of it by its supporters, they would have had no reason to complain of it being treated with too much favour. (Hear, hear.) It cannot be denied that the question is one of the greatest difficulty and delicacy, and one which involves a vast number of consi derations. It ought to be considered, among other matters, whether it would be desirable to have one or more courts of appeal, and whether means may not be adopted to avoid the multiplication of appeals. As regards the great question of life peerages, you are called upon to legislate in the dark as regards the prerogative of the Crown, because, although in that respect the meaning of this bill is not subject to much serious argument, yet it is not too much to say that it is in diametrical con tradiction of the declaration of the Government of the 1 - ,?gieen upon the subject. Under these circumstances, it is not too much to ask that we may have accorded to us as much time for the consideration of this asabject as is ordinarily afforded to the House of Commons for the consideration of subjects of not one-twentieth part of its importance and magnitude? It is vain to say that the present state of things is intolerable. It is true that there May be five or six months' defy, but that delay has always existed, and yet the persons who use that argument tell us that even 30 years ago the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords was most satisfactory, when at that time the very same delay took place. I trust that the house will not consent to agree to a piece of legislation so ill-consdered on a subject which involves principles of the greatest difficulty and delicacy, and which most nearly bears upon the foundation of the constitution. Under these circumstances it is hardly too much, I think, to ask the noble lord at the head of the Got'ernment to consent to the motion of the hon. gentleman—(bear, hear)—and to consent to refer this bill to a select committee, to weigh well not only the difficulties by which the subject is sur rounded, and which this bill will tend to indefinitely com plicate, so that we may not discredit ourselves and the British Legislature ; but by the exercise of prudence and by refraining from pressing extreme opinions, we may be able at some future period, and I venture to hope at no distant period, to present the country with a measure worthy of a great country. (Cheers.) No one rising to address the house, there were loud calls of " Palmerston," in the midst of which Lord PALMERSTON rose and said—lt must be ad mitted, sir, that what has been stated by the hon. and learned gentleman opposite (Mr. Malins), that the mean ing of this motion is not so much to obtain an inquiry by a select committee as te get rid of the bill for the present session, is a correct view of the case, and upon that issue every hon. member must be prepared to give his vote to night. I very much regret the circumstances under which my hon. friend has made this motion, and also the manner in which he has adverted to the measure. There is, lam sorry to ray, a strong difference of opinion upon this sub ject, and I am sorry to be obliged to differ from those who in general afford me their support. We have, however, felt it to be our duty to recommend this measure for the acceptance of the house, and, however painful it may be to find that in the performance of our public duty we stand at variance with those who generally give us their support, *till, having felt it to be our duty to propose the bill, we were bound to discharge that duty, whatever the conse quences might be. Now, sir, this measure has been occa sioned by the conviction which we have entertained that the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords was in a condition in which it would not be for the public good that it should continue. Let it not be understood that I agree with those who think there is something inherent in the appel late jurisdiction of the House of Lords which is in itself objectionable ; on the contrary, I should be sorry to see that jurisdiction transferred to any other quarter. I think that the proposal to transfer that jurisdiction to the Judi cial Committee of the Privy Council is founded upon very imperfect considerations both as regards the tribunal from which it is proposed to take that jurisdiction, and also of the court to which it is proposed to transfer it. I think that to transfer the appellate jurisdiction, which has so long been exercised by the House of Lords, to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which is a body of very recent origin, and which from its nature and constitution is dependent upon the act of the Crown, would be a mea n ire not in my opinion in harmony with the practice of the constitution, nor would it tend to strengthen that which all are so anxious to retain. What was it that, in our opinion, rendered some change necessary with regard to the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords ? It was, that by the course of nature many of those eminent men who had, in fact. constituted the court of appeal had passed away ; and it became most essential, therefore, to strengthen that tribunal by the admission of members of the legal profession. My right hon. friend has stated that the question has been inconsiderately moote4 by the Govern ment. Now, upon that point I beg leave to differ from him. The question is one which has for a long period occupied the attention of successive Governments, and which has been most carefully considered. As regards the general principle of life peerages, it is my opinion that the House of Lords eted upon an erroneous judgment when they arrived at 'the conclusion at which they did arrive with regard to the admission of Lord Wensleydale to that house. There is a great distinction between the House of Lords and the House of Commons with regard to the foundation upon which their influence in the country is bawd. The great influ ence of this house arises from its being an elected body, and thus being a representation of the feelings and opinions of the great mass of the people of this conntry. The influ ence and power of the ffouse of Lords, on the other hand, are founded upon the character of its members, upon their local influence, their personal character, or the political ability which they may display. There can be uo doubt that the House of Lords would derive great influence and consideration in the country if there were the means of placing within its limits men who had distinenished them selves, either by their legal attainments or by great mili tary or naval achievements, but who, not having that for tune which would enable them totransmit to their descend ants the means adequately to maintain the dignity of the peerage, would be placed in an improper situation by being made hereditary peers. That being our opinion a life peer age was conferred upon Baron Wensleydale. The House of Lords differed upon the point, and a majority decided against the admission of Baron Wensleydale as a life peer to a seat in the house. Then came the question what course sho gild be pursued. We have been told by the right hon. member for Oxford University, that the present hill is the result of a compromise huddled up in a committee for the convenience of parties. Itisno such thing. (Cries of " Hear, hear," from the Opposition beaches.) It was not the conve nience of parties, but a compromise arising from a conflict of opinions upon a question of great importance, which led to an arrangement that seemed tobe calculated in some de gree to accomplish the purpose we had in view. Thus, the bill comes down to us from the House of Lords as an ar rangement, which, on the one hand,is consented to by those who object to life peerages in the abstract, and, on the other, furnishes such a reinforcement of strength to the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords as will in some degree remedy the evils which now exist. (Hear, hear.) Many hon. gentlemen think that a better arrangement might be made. That is cot impossible; but the ques tion is not whether this is the best possible arrangement for reinforcing the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords, but whether the bill which is now presented to us, and which, if we agree to it, would no doubt be carried into law, does give such an accession o f s t reng th to the appellate jurisdiction as would render it satisfac tory to the country. My opinion undoubtedly is that it does. I am of opinion that the appointment of two salaried members of the court would strengthen it sufficiently to enable it to perf orm it s d ut i es with more effect and with more satisfacti on t o th e pu b lic. The right hon. member for i Oxford University says, it is a new p r i nc i p l e t o pay members o f th e Legislature for the performan ce o f th e i r ,legislative f unct i ons. But we do not mean to Dop city Speakers f or th e performance of their leglisalyattihve functions. (He ar .) I t i s not a new principle to pay those Vac) perform judicial duties ; on the contrary, it is an ordinary and recognised principle of the constitution tHear.) My right hon. friend might as well object to pay the Lord Chancell or , w h o presides in the House of Lords, and exercises not only judicial but also legislative functions. (Hear.) The objection founde 1 upon principle goes be yond the limits of the present bill ; but in my opinion there is no constitutional objection whatever to giving to certain legal members of the House of Lords that salary which would enable distinguished lawyers to abandon either their practice at the bar—if the proposition of the hon.and learned member for Cambridge University were adopted; or their judicial situations, according to the present arrangement of the bill, for the purpose of undertaking the important duties which the Deputy-Speakers will have to perform in the House of Lords. (Hear.) I say , then. that what is called a compromise is simply the result of conflicting opinions entertained upon a subject of great importance -.—the result of a contest ands discussion—not, as my hon. friend who moved the amendment represented by his theatrical allegory, acted as a farce upon the stage, but carried on openl y ;inthe face of day, known to every body, a n d end in g . in mutual concessions on the part of those who differed upon a question of consi lerable mag nitude. (Hear, hear.) But it is said that this is a matter of such importance that we ought not to come to a decision upon it with ou t much more lengthened and deliberate con sideration. Why, seeing that it has been fpub lict a matter o discussion ever since March in the present year, I can not imagine what a further delay have given their mind to it. When°ll h .l do for who o r tah and n a d r thosein inquiry n r y t of those who contend for further itiveatig e a a t I am rerninaed of the dogg,rel lines about Dean Swift, who was said to have defended the ancients so well That he perfectly proved the moderns excel." (A laugh.) The hon. gentlemen who have asked for further investigation have shown that they have so completely sifted and mastered th e ques ti on in all its bearings —so thoroughly examined every part of the measure under dis cussion—that no more lengthened or deliberate considera tion is necessary to enable them at least to come to a deci sion. (Hear) It i s a d m itt e d on a ll h ands that a great evil exists —that the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords has been weakened, not by anything inherent in the constitution of that body, but by the accidental cir cumstance of a diminution in the number of members com petent to take part in its judicial business. Here is a mea- sure which provides a permanent remedy for that occa sional inconvenience—a measure which I think would se nire to the appellate court that strength which would ena ble it at all times to be efficient for the purposes which it has in view ; and it appears to me that it would be a great misfortune if this house were to reject the bill and deter mine that an inconvenient state of things, of which such complaiats have been made, should continue to exist. (dear.) It is said that you will lose nothing by rejecting this bill, because during the interval between the end of 1 the present session and the beginning of the next the ordi -1 nary cessation of the appellate jurisdiction of the House ~ )f Lords would take place. But I apprehend, looking to the arguments which have been used in this debate, that if the matter were to be taken up at the beginning of next session there would be little probability of the house passing the measure, so as to allow it to come into ope ration before the end of the session ; and therefore the question does not relate merely to the interval between this session and the next, but to the continuance for a touch longer period of a state of things which both those who are for and those who are against the bill have con temned. A great deal has been said as to the effect of the bill upon the prerogative of the Crown. It is manifest, I think, to anybody who reads the bill that it acknowledges the prerogative and limits it; that, on one side, those who object to life peerages have acknowledged the prero gative of the Crown to create them, and, on the other, those who maintain the prerogative have consented to a limitation for the purpose of establishing the appellate ju risdiction of the House of Lords on a satisfactory basis. Such is the compromise which the bill carries into effect, and I have only, in conclusion, to express my hope that the house, rejecting the amendment of the hon. member for Northampton, will consent to go into committee. Mr. ROEBUCK, who was received with loud and general calls for a division, rose for the purpose not of making a speech, but of putting a question. The noble lord had carefully avoided giving any opinion upon one important point—the prerogative of the Crown. In order, therefore, to prevent the house taking a step in the dark, might he be allowed to ask the law officers of the Crown what, in their opinion, the legal effect of the bill would be with respect to the prerogative? He was convinced, for his own part, that the bill, as it at present stood, would take away the power of the Crown to create life peerages above a certain fixed number. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL said that it was impossible to give a positive answer to the question of the hon. and learned gentleman, without first ascertaining whether the Crown had the prerogative of creating life peers. If there were such a prerogative, beyond question this bill, as now worded—the wording being a matter for the consideration of the committee—limited the exercise of that prerogative, so that by virtue of it there could not be in the House of Lords more than four peers for life at one time. The house divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment Against it 133 Majority —22 The announcement of tho numbers were received with loud. cheering. The Corrupt Practices Prevention Bill was read a se cond time. The Revenue (Transfer of Charges) Bill was read a third time and passed. ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill having been read a third time, Mr. WHITESIDE moved the insertion of a clause the object of which was to reduce the number of the commis sioners from three to two. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD opposed the clause on the ground that, while the Executive possessed the power of reducing the commissioners from three to two, if that were expedient, the judicial force of the court really re• quired to be strengthened, not diminished. Mr. NAPIER supported the clause. Lord NAAS said that the house had not yet been in formed whether the Government intended to make any serious alteration in the personnel of this tribunal. Did they mean to remove Baron Richards ? and, if so, who was to be appointed in his stead ? Mr. GROGAN approved of the clause, the question raised by which was whether Baron Richards should re turn to his legitimate court, and the number of commis sioners be reduced to two. Lord PALMERSTON said his Lou, and learned friend had distinctly stated the other evening that it was the in tention of her Majesty's Government that Baron Richards should not continue to be a member of the Encumbered Estates Court, but that he should return to his ordinary duties. The Government thought it desirable to retain the power of appointing three judges of the Encumbered Estates Court, but if it was found that two judges could conveniently get through the business the number of judges would be reduced to two. sir .T. GRAHAM wished, after the statement of the noble lord, to ask whether it was to be distinctly under stood that Baron Richards was to return to his own court, and was no longer to take part in the business of the En. cumbered Estates Court ? It was desirable that the house should clearly understand whether, if, as Mr. Longfield and Mr. Hargreave, the other judges of this court, be lieved, they were able, with a proper addition to their staff, to perform their functions as commissioners, the Government would abstain from appointing a third judge. Lord PALMERSTON had intended to state distinctly that it was the intention of the Government, as an experi ment, to try whether the duties of the Encumbered Estates Court could be efficiently discharged by two judges. (Hear.) Mr. WHITESIDE was'perfectly satisfied with the state• ment of the noble lord, and would therefore withdraw his amendment. The bill was then passed. The Customs (No. 2) Bill was read a second time. The Magdalen Hospital (Bath) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Endowed School of Moulton Bill was read a third time and passed. The amendments to the Court of Appeal in Chancery (Ireland) Bill were considered and agreed to. COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) RECEIVERS' BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. PRISONS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was also read a third time and passed. POOR•LA.W AMENDMENT (No. 2) BILL. The order for the second reading of this bill was read and discharged. WILLS AND ADMINISTRATION BILL. Upon the motion that the order for going into commit. tee upon this bill be discharged, Mr. FIADFIELD objected to the course taken by the Government, and hoped that some explanation would be given. The motion was agreed to without remark, and the bill was withdrawn. I INDEMNITY BILL. This bill was read a second time. EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR ESTATES BILL. Sir G. GREY, in moving the second reading of this bill, said he proposed to continue the existing act for one year, in order that the recommendations of the commissioners might be considered by the house. The bill was the❑ read a second time. JUDGMENTS EXECUTION, &c., BILL. The house went into committee pro forma upon this bill, which was ordered to be printo.l. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL. This bill passed through c)trimittee. STAMP DUTIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, moved for leave to introduce two bills. The first provided for the reduction of the duty upon proxy papers for voting in re spect to railway companies from 2s. 6d. to Gil. (Hear, hear.) That reduction, he believed, would meet with general approbation, as he was informed that the present rate of duty acted as a practical restriction upon the share holders from voting, and thereby prevented them from controlling the acts of the directors. It was a matter of public policy to make the alteration he proposed. The bill also proposed to effect a similar reduction in respect to certain iu Scotland called mandates, which were proxies for voting in respect to municipal and parochial matters. He also proposed to make an alteration with respect to the stamping of articles of clerkship to attorneys. At present, if the articles were not stamped before taken out they were invalid, and he proposed to adopt in regard to those instru ments the same course that was pursued in respect to simi lar documents, and to allow them to be stamped at a future time upon payment of a penalty. The other bill which he wished to introduce was intended to give to landowners iu Scotland the same advantages with respect to the income tax which were virtually enjoyed by land owners in England, and which had been confe , -red by ect of Parliament Lpon landowners in Ireland. In Ireland there was an express provision by law that in cal culating the income tax au exemption should be made for so much of the poor-rates as fell upon the landlord. In Scotland the general incidence of the local rates was upon the landlords, who were in general, he believed, charged by the law directly with those rates. The effect of that state of things was, that the landlord received his rent without any deduction being made for the local taxes ; he paid the local taxes himself, and his income tax was charged on his gross rental, including the local rates. That was a dis advantage under which the Scotch landlords laboured in comparison with the same class of persons in England and Ireland, and from it he now proposed to relieve them. (Hear.) He further proposed to make an alteration with respect to the clerks of the Commissioners of Income tax iu England. The effect of raising the rate of income tax bad been so to increase the scale of allowance to the clerks of the commissioners as to render it excessive. He proposed that with respect to all those gentlemen whose salaries arnounte 1 to more than 500/. a year, their poundage should be reduced from 2d., which it was at present, told. in the pound, provided that alteration should not reduce their salaries to less than 5001. If this reduction of the poundage should have the effect of bringing the salaries below 5001. a-year, they would be ma d e up to that amount. The effect of proposed provision would be that about 30 of the present clerks of commissioners of income tax out of about 700 would undergo a diminution of their salaries. (Hear.) He also proposed to make a slight alteration in the land tax. At present the power of redeeming this tax was confined to persons who had an estate in fee simple. Persons having liwited interests, such as life estates, did not possess this power, and he now proposed to confer it upon them. Leavo was given to introduce these measures, and the two bills were introduced and read a first time. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. Mr. HEADLAM obtained leave to bring in a bill to abolish certain ecclesiastical courts, and to continue cer tain temporary provisions concerning ecclesiastical juris diction in England for a limited period. The house adj,urned at 2 o'clock. LOCAL SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JULY 10. STMIC EXCHAINIIN.— The market has manifested a quiet aspect to-day, and only a moderate amount of business has been done.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented a number of petitions in favour of the bill as originally introduced into that house on the subject of Scotch Education. The noble duke also presented petitions against the bill in• troduced in the course of the present session, and also some petitions against the Lord Advocate's Bill. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motion of Lord REDES DALE, the following bids were severully read a third time and pa-sed—viz., Cairness Estate. Davidson's Divorce, Lewes, Eastbori and Halisham Roads, Conway and Llandudno Roa, , , West of Fife Mineral Railway, Maybole and Girvau Railway, Forest of Dean Central Railway, Severn Na vigation Improvement Commission, and Tnames Haven Dock and Railway. The Eari of ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from Pertaub Singh and Bisbeu Singh, landholders in the Punjaub, complaining of great grievances for which they could obtai❑ no remedy. They stated that they held possession of property which had descended to thew as rightful heirs, and had come down to them from the owners three centuries ago. O❑ the conquest of the Punjaub the Board of Administration recom mended that a fourth of their property should be retained by the Government and that three-fourths should be held by themselves. Considering the peculiar circumstances of the country at that time, and the expenses to which the Government were subject, they did not object to that arrangement. Io 1853 the Indian Go vernment confirmed that decision so far as allowing the three-fourths of the property to be kept by them during their lives, but one-third of the property should pass to the descendants of those Indian land owners. Subsequently the Indian Government refused to confirm the latter arrangements, consequently the petitioners, who were the heirs of the propietors with whom the arr.sgements were made, were deprived of their inheritance, and therefore exposed to penury and want. The petitioners complained of this treatment, which was most unwarrantable towards them, inasmuJh as they stated that, so far from opposing the British authorities in India, they had rendered them good service in Scinde. They prayed the interference of their lordships' house in their behalf. The Duke of ARGYLL said, whatever doubts might be raised as to the circumstances under which other parts of India wore acquired by the British, there could he no doubt as toi our right of taking possession of the provinces of the Thonjaub, and dealing with the property as they thought best. The principles by which the East India Gover current were actuated were to respect the grants already .made, but not to go beyond that. LLEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Sir W. FENWICK S 9 MUMS, Dart., of Kay, took the oaths and his seat for 'Caine. Tue hon. and gallant gen tleman, who wai lutuY.ly cheered as he entered the house, was introduced by Lord Goderich and Sir George B. Pecholl. PRIVA.TE BUSINESS.

BERKELEY. - gave notice that on the motion for going into committee on this bill, he should move that it be committed that day six months. COAST DEFENCES. Mr. HAYTER, on the part of the First Lord of the Admiralty, gave notice ths.t on Monday he would intro duce a bill for the better defence of the coasts of the realm, and to transfer the government of the Coast Guards to the Adinica ty. FORMS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. M. GIBSON said to wished to put a question to the Speaker with respect to the forms of the house. A difference existed on the part of certain members as to the right of raising ditmr.ssions on the different stages of the Appropriation BO!. Some members thought that the same course could be adopted with this as was pursued on occasions of Supply. On referring back to Hansard be found that au, noble lord, the member for the City of London, on the third reading of the Appro priarion Bill, made a long speech in which he reviewed the whole of the foreign policy of the country, and Mr. Lucas took the opportunity on one of the stages of the bill to raise a discussion on the inequalities of the In• •onie , Tax. Under the circumstances he hoped the Speaker would state to the house the right that mem bers possessed of raising discussions on the different stares of the Appropriation Bill The SPEAKER said he did not believe that mem bers possessed any more privileges on the Appropria tion Bill them any other bills before the house, and all questioias must be relevant to the measure before the house. With respect to the instance mentioned by the hont gentleman of the noble lord the mem ber for Lon. ion he recollected the circumstances. Tee noble lord p it himself in order by referring to certain votes contained in the bill. Members, therefore, did not posses a ny greater privileges upon this than upcu any other bit THE TOWER GATES. Mr. T. DU'NCOMBE asked the Under Secretary for War why thte gates in the Tower, which had always been open to :foot passengers going east and west, but closed in Augia 3 t last on account of the war, were still kept shut, arid when they would be re-opened ? Mr. MONSB LL said that the gates would shortly be again opened to the public, but in consequence of the large quantity o f material arriving from the East the business at the t ower had not as yet decreased, and to open it now yin Juld cause great inconvenience to the Government. THE C OF JAMES SADLEIR. Mr. MACAI LTNEY asked the Attorney-General for Ireland to state to the house the name of the magis trate before who m any information was sworn, and the date of the sant, y and the day upon which the warrant was issued for th e apprehension of James Sadleir _ Sir G. G said he must interpose before the learned Attorney , General replied to the question.

PAf CINGTON asked the President of the Board of Con. ,rol whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment, iu consequence of the report from the C mmissioner appointed to inquire into the system of c.ianufacturing salt in India, to effect any change in ti ie present salt monopoly of the Indian Go vernment the presidencies of Bengal and Madras, or to lower tb n rates: of duty on salt ? Mr. V. f 3NZITH said that the Commissioner had not yet conclud ed his investigations, and had not made any report with re ference to a large section of the Presidency of Bengal. -4 .s soon as it was completed a scheme would be devised f.7i altering the present system. BELIZE. Mr. M. GI BSON moved an address for copy of letter addressed by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in ITov. 1836, to S. Cole, defining the boundaries of the British s- , Vem,et ot Mr. LAEOUCHEbE eaid that he found a I , tter Was addre.ssed by Sir G. Grey, when s!cretary for the C 'lo llies in 183 G, in answer to a questibn from the Comp Any, in which he stated what were the views of the Govern ment with regard to the boundarie3 of this settlement. There would be no objection to produce the letter re ferred to. On the motion of Mr. M. GIBSON, the production of the letter was ordered. -THE INDIAN BUDGET. In anqwer to a question front Mr. J. G. PiIILLIMORE, Mr. V. SMITH said he would bring on the Indian budget on Thursday next. ROYAL ENGINEERS IN THE CRIMEA. Captain L. VERNON called the attention of the house to the services rendered by the Corps of Royal Engineers in the Crimea. This corps had displayed great skill and ingenuity in the late bomber linent of Sebastopol, to whose exertions the surrender of the place was mainly due, and the gallant member com plained that these valuable services had been inade quately rewarded.

Mr. NAPIER, rcrse to put a question to the Attor ney-General for Ireland to the obligations imposed upon a Privy Councillor in Ireland by force of the oath administered on his appointment, which he was induced to do in consequence of the remarks made mi a previous occasion by the learned Attorney-General for Ireland, in imputing to the Master of the Rolls in Irele,el that he had acted contrary to his oath as a Privy Coun cillor in Ireland, in permitting the escape of James Sadleir. The hon, and learned gentleman then entered, at great length, into what had been done in Ireland with reference to the gi,zantic frauds of the Sadleirs, and the great ability that had.been displayed by the Master of the Rolls in unravelling their fiends, and proceeded to defend the learned judge from the un just imputations he said that had been cast upon him by the learned Attorney-General, and which were with out the sligntest foundation. He called upon that learned gentleman to say what part of the oath the learned judge bad violated with reference to the escape of James Sadleir. The subject required investigation —the country demanded it, and he was determined it should take place. (Hear, hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND com plained of the conduct of the hon. member in bringing on this question by riecemeal, and of his calling on him to answer for acts committed before he (the Attorney-Ge neral) came into office. He had within half an hour received a telegraphic communication from Ireland stating that the court of justice had bees desecrated by the proceeeioles adopted there. He could not act on that, but he bad instituted inquiries, and from what he could learn from the message the proceedings were so extraordinary that it would be the duty of the Government to call for an explanation in the usual and proper manner. He denied that he had made any charges against the Master of the Rolls in his judicial character, or that of a Privy Councillor. All be had said was, that if James Sadleir bad escaped it was in consequence of the alarm excited by the statements of the Master of the Rolls, whose conduct was irregular. (LEFT SPEAKING.)
