MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE CITY, Two O'CLOCK The Liverp oo l C o tt on M arket yesterday closed le 10 firmly, and without animation, !but with little or N no change i n pr i ces. The sales were estimated at 8,000 hales, of which 1,000 have been taken for export, and 1,1)00 on speculation, comprising 7,000 Pernam and Maranham, at 6d. to %id. ; 100 St. Bahia, 61d. ; and 1,000 Surat, 40. to sad. per lb. The Railway Share Market exhibited a quiet aspect, 25 and a moderate business was transacted, at a slight 3 t. . declin e . The Colonial Produce Markets, during the past 3t. week, have been rather quiet, but most articles ig have maintained fully previous prices. There has 4 0 been a good demand for sugar, at an advance of ; o t. 6cl. to ls. p er cwt . F or coffee there has been At rather a quiet m ar k e t, b u t no part i cu l ar alteration s t . has taken pl ace i n t h e quotat i ons. C ocoa has risen 1.3,,t . ls. p er cw t. , an d r i ce has been purchased freely at it an improvement, and saltpetre is dearer. For it. spices there has not been much inquiry. Cochineal 2 has tended upwards, and tallow has been largely A dealt in at improved values. The public sales of If indigo commenced on Tuesday, and they have pro- 4t: eeeded firmly at about last sales' rates. During 3 .?0 the series 15,543 chests will be offered. The advices from New York per steamer Arago state that the market for foreign manufactures l i continued dull, partly in consequence of the large 10 ; arrivals of goods from Europe. Letters from Cali fornia mention that the gold mines were yielding abundantly, and business prospects generally were , improving. The total coinage at the Bank Mint Was $4,261,158, Accounts from Copenhagen state that the Ame rican ships which pass the Sound continue to pay the Dues regularly, on the same scale as the vessels of other countries. At the same time the captains of these ships accompany their payments with a protest from the American Consul at Elsinore, ad dressed to the authorities, which it appears is not ackno w l e d ged by them ; and they refuse to pro- I 0 long the settlement of the question under the terms of the convention, which expired in June. h The Australian Agricultural Company's report St ' as been circulated prior to the half-yearly meeting St. conv ened for next week. A statement of the bu- St. striess transacted since the previous meeting is 121ad et from which itappears that Mr. Odernheimer's report relativ e t o th e va l ue o f the coal field in Port Stevens is fully confirmed. Various sugges- st. ti ° ll B are made for developing the resources of the e"lPeany, whi c h are lik e l y to b e carr i ed i nto effect. :t , Th Monthly Return of th e B an k o f France, corn- Pleted to yesterday, has been published, and corn pared with that of the previous month some very nf i t rourable changes are apparent. The bullion tQas diminished a b out 5 ,430,954fr5., partly owing 3t 2 the dividend payments, and the amount of bills 'iseounied was much larger than in July. The Funds h ave been exceedingly heavy today, Si a Dcl a decline of fully I- to 1 per cent. has occurred since this time yesterday. The settlement of the account has resulted in the failure of one specu lator, but in other respects it has been effected in a satisfactory manner. The decline in the bullion of the Bank of France, and the ex pected. unfavourable Bank of England Return to to Published to. night, naturally have a depressing in fluence upon prices. Consols have been 951 for money, and 951 for August. The New Three Per Cents. are 961 o , and the Reduced 952 to 96. 13 auk Stock is heavy at 217.

He moved that the ninth clause be expunged. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE bore testimony to the high character of the Irish magistracy, but their high character was no reason why they should not take precautions against the abuse of power which with ma gistrates, as with any body else, would sometimes occur. Lord CAMPBELL observed that it was unlawful for any judge to adjudicate in his own cause, and if any ma gistrate in Ireland, or elsewhere, decided a case in which he was personally interested, he would be guilty of a misdemeanour, and might be punished. Such a prohibi tion, therefore, in this bill was unnecessary as regarded principals. At the same time he thought itdosirable that agents who were magistrates should be disqualified. Viscount DUNGANNON supported the amendment. Toe Earl of DONOUHMORE urged the necessity of passing. the bill as it stood. The Earl of WICKLOW hoped the amendment would not be withdrawn. Lord DENMAN would vote for the amendment. The Marquis of WESTMEATH intimated an inten tion of pressing his amendment to a division. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE proposed an amendment to the clauiv, so as to make the &squall& tion applicable only to the agent of the landlord. Lord REDESDALE thought the amendment too important to be introduced without notice after the third reading of the bill, and recommended that the dis cussion be postponed, and that In the mean time the proposed amendment be printed. The LORD CHANCELLOR advocated the amend ment proposed by the Marquis'of Clanricarde. Viscount DUNGANNON did not see why a stigma should be cast upon agents who happened to be in the commission of the peace any more than on the landlord. The Duke of RICHMOND would vote for the rejec tion of the clause. Atter some further conversation, the Marquis of Clanricarde s amendment was adopted, and their I,rd ships divided upon the question that' the clause, as emended, stand part of the bill Contents ........ . 25 Non -contents l3 Majority —l2 The bill then passed.

On the motion forethe secon d reading of this bill, Lord PORTMAN expressed his satisfaction that i' one of these commissions was coming to an end. He should, next year, introduce a bill to consolidate the whole of the lawa on the subject. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that they were at that moment before the Statute Law Commission, with a view to their consolidation. DULWICEI COLLEGE BILL. This bill passed through cominittee. BISHOPRICS OF LOND tN AND DURHAM. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked leave to introduce a bill, the object of which was, he said, to enable two distinguished members of the right rev. bench, whose health rendered it unlikely that they could continue to perform their episcopal duties, tit retire, due provision being made for suitable retiring allowances. He alluded to the Bishops of London and Durham, who had both signified their assent to such a measure, and therefore he asked leave to have the bill read a first time, proposing to fix the second reading for to-morrow (this d ay ) . Lord REDESDALE said that this was a question that required careful consideratiori. A general measure embodying the principle would be very desirable, but the policy of legislating for two geese only was in his opinion very questionable. They would by this bill establish a precedent, so that every time a bishop wished to retire, it would require a special act for the purpose. In his opinion this was a subject for general not special legisla tion, and should have been brought forward at an earlier period of the session. The Emil of HARROWBY said that this would not interfere with a general bill, aid it was called far by an immediate and pressing necessity. Lord CAMPBELL said he trusted that before long the prelates would be put in the seine position as the judge.; of the land—that was to say, would have the privilege of retiring on a suitable allowance when no longer able to perform episcopal duties. Today down a general rule on the subject would require a great deal of consideration, and as a friend of the Church he should eejoice to see such a measure brought forward ; but th ere was an urgency in the present case, and the man ner is which the two prelat , s had come forward and re ! gee , 'ieed permission to retire must increase the estima tion ; IT, which they had before been held by the whole coven He did not think that because there was not t „ m i te r a general measure they should be obstructed in so praiseweTthy a proceeding, and therefore he trusted that the present bill would be adopted by the house. L in! REDESDA.LE thought that time should be before the second r ea di ng . give, ► f ee t-onsideration L irf DEN NI AN r) ported the bill. T: is LORD CHANCELLOR hoped that the house won Id I ,ot const-at to postpone the second reading, as upor i tl is; stage t. ere would be ample opportunity for disc ei sei on. There were pecteiar facilities in this case, as ' ,h e. I eishops of London and Durham could be provided wi te e e et iriree peneions without trenching on any fund. Lord DU'SGANNON deprecated the precedent, and aoeort, d• he neeien far de'ay. The of po would refer baying the second reading' 'taken on Nlonday. - Lord REDESDA.LE -aid he should certainly divide the hon se, if it was proposed to take the second reading on tl. to I 'ollowing day. There were many noble lords PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OP LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD,!CIiANCELLOR tOok his seat on the woolsack at five o'ciock. _ . . SALE OF POISONS: Lord CAMPBELL asked whether it was tlieinten tion of the Goes.' renent to introduce a bill to regulate the sale of poisons ? He thought that a new law was imperatively called for to regulate the sale of poisons. He would not revert to a recent case, which had occu pied a great deal of attention. Independently of that ease, he was shocked that the crime of poisoning had become alarmingly on the increase. The secrecy of the crime had, he thought, fed to its frequency. That crime was not committed so much for the gratification of revenge as for the love of pelf—the desire of gain. An other inducement for the commission of the crime was the establishment of assurance companies. He Lad himself heard of a cave in which an assurance on life was made for the purpose of committing murder, and murder had subsequently been committed as the consum mation of an insurance. Some years ago arsenic might have been purchased as easily as Epsom salts, and the , consequence was that - poisoning by arsenic became alarmingly frequent. Indeed, there was a W Oinallliving in Essex, who was considered such an adept in practisieg poisons, that she was 'called' " Sally Arsenic" A law was bows n ever passed, which placed a great limitation en the sale of that poison, which bad the effect of checking the commission of the crime. Poisoning by arsenic bad gene out of fashion, and the mode now pur sued was to administer nue vomica, which was purchased in pennyworths, on the plea that it was to poison rats. Lord RAVENSWORTH hoped something would be done to place those assurance companies under such regulations as would have the effect of dis covering those dreadful crimes. (Hear, hear.) He suggested that when certain insurances were effected the respective secretaries should be empowered to inform the Secretary of State for the House Depart. ment in order that the authorities might have their par ticular attention directed to the sutipected parties. The LORD CHANCELLOR said five years' ago the subjec was under the consideration of the Government, and the result was the measure . alluded to by the noble and learned lord, the limitation of the sale of arsenic. The measure only referred to the sale of arsenic, because it was felt there was a difficulty in defining the different sorts of poison. Some of the most eminent medical men of the metropolis had been consulted on the subject, and they were afraid that a, bill detailing the various poisons might have an injurious effect, by informing evil disposed persons of the many : ways of committing murder. He did not see why etrychnine - shotild not be included in the tame category as arsenic. • l(Hear, hear.) He was authorised to state that the' subject was under the serious attention of the Government. MUTINY OF THE MILITIA AT NENAGH. In reply to the Earl of DONOUGHIfORE, Lord PANMURE said he had received 'a private letter front the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland stating that a riot had taken place within the last two or three days at Nenagh, in which the militia and the regular troops were engaged, The riot had arisen ie coueeveace of some misunderstand. ing on the part of the militia. No misunderstanding could justify the course that bad been taken by that body. Net having as yet received the particulars, he trusted that the public would suspend their judgment until the whole of the facts of the case Lad been received. DAVIDSON'S DIVORCE BILL.

Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Butterworth Estate Bill was read a third time. VACCINATION BILL. On the motion for reading the orders of the day, a discussion took place relative to the position of the Marquis of Blandfurd's Formation of Parishes Bill on the paper, and the noble marquis asked that it should be restored to its proper place at the head of the list. It was ultimately arranged that the orders should be pro ceeded with as they stood in the list. Mr. COWPER addressed the house relative to the course he should pursue with re=pect to the. Vaccination Bill. He said that already they bad had considerable legislation on the sulsject, three acts being now on the statute book. It was generally admitted that tlfe legislation on this sub ject-hal hitherto been unsatisfactory, and it was felt that the present law from its defects could not continue, and be bad been induced in consequence to deal with the subject. The present law provided that public vaccine tore should be appointed throughout the country, but no provision was made for the appointment of persons competent adequately to discharge these duties. The country was unequally divided into districts, the system of registration was defective, and the remuneration to the medical officers was not sufficient. One scheme propounded some time since for altering the defects complained of was, that the Board of Health should take under its care the management of vaccination, but to that he objected, for although cenneetssl with the Government by virtue of the office he held, he was op posed to centralisation (hear, hear) and was desirous that local self-government shou'd be continued. (Hear, hear.) The question was, how to legislate on this sub ject, and hut two ways only presented themselves—one was to make the present law efficient or enacting a fresh one, and, after consideration, he was of opinion it was better to adopt the latter course. He proposed, amongst other alterations by this bill, that praetitioners soliciting appointments as public vaccinators should show their qualification for the office, from havin g attended the 6mall-pox Hospital or otherwise studied and had experi ence of the disease, and be properly recommended. He also proposed to alter the vaccinating districts, and to adopt the existing registration districts. Hw had pre pared a scheme for registration which, he thought, would have been 'found successful, and it would have been compulsory on the part of the registrar to matte a return of the children vaccinated to the Board of. Guardians, who should give notice to the people and warn them against neglecting vaccination ; and where it was found necessary to proceed agaisisS. parents tor neglecting it, the expenses of the prosecutions should be paid out of the poor rates. The right hon s gentleman next referred to what were called the compulsory clauses of the bill, to which so much opposition ha I been raised, and after reminding the house that the compulesry clauses were not introduced merely to compel persons to do a certain thing for themselves, but as a precaetion against the spread of one of the most contagious diseases that existed, and a protection to the public, he said frora returns furnished in. connection with the Small-pox Hospital he found that the mortality, from that disease, without vaccination, amoun t e d to one in thr ee or four. After some further remarks, he moved that the ord, r for going into committee on this bill be discharged, and the bill withdrawn. (Hear, hear.) Mr. T. DUNCOMBE concurred in the course pur sued by the Government, and suggested that the subject should be further investigated by a select committee before legislation was attempted. After some remarks from Mr. Henley, Sir G. Grey, and Dr. Michell, the latter of whom objected to vacci nation, and said that if small-pox were properly treated the mortality would not be more than three per cent. The order was diec'aareed, and the bill withdrawn. NUISANCES REMOVAL, &c. (SCOTLAND No. 2) , r1e...,.•. Deben. :a - , Do. 6 per cent...,., 109 ...v. No. 2. 7 p a. '.lyth andTyn; 10 pt, pr..f.

After some discussion the proviso omitting, the words referring to the Church Buildings Act was agreed to. The remaining clauses of the bill were cmsidereti and agreed to.

The other orders having been disposed of, the house suspended its sittings at 25 minutes past 3 o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. JUDICIAL TRIBUNALS OF INDIA.. Sir E. PERRY wished to ask the President of the B ,ar.l of Control whether he contemplated bringing in a bill to provide a judicial tribunal in India, with appeal to the Privy Council in England, for the investigation and decision of such claims on the private rights of the native princes and grantees of Government as were now decided by the executive goiernment without hearing and in the absence of the partied Mr. V. SMITH said be bad no intention of beaging in such a bill, as he did not see how any satisfactory measure could be introduced on this question. NAVIGATION OF THE DANUBE. Col. DUNNE asked the First. L •rd of the Treasury whether by the treaty of Paris, which provides for the opening of the navigati o n o f th e Danube, any persons other than Austrian subjects would be allowed to pop'. Bess steamers and navigate that river above the frontiers of Austria on the same terms as su±cts of that empire? Lord PALMERSTON replied—By the Treaty of Paris the navigation of the Danube is to remain liable to the provision of the treaty of 1815 applicable to rives which in tbeir navigable course separate or traverse dif. ferent states. The provision of that treaty is that such rivers in their navigable course are to be free for naviga tion to the commerce of all nations, subject only to such regulations of police and other matters as a commission composed of the, representatives of the bordering states may devise, and I apprehend it enables the vessels of any country to enter the Danube at its mouth in the Black Sea, and to ascend the river, as far as it is navi gable in its course, subject always to such regulations as those contemplated by the treaty. I apprehend, how ever,the question of the hon. and gallant member applies more particularly to a certain monopoly given to an Aus trian by a former arrangement with Austria ; and if so, I may say that, in my opinion, that arrangement can not stand against the stipulations of the treaty itself. The Austrian Government cannot upon its own autho rity make arrangements at variance with the spirit of the treaty, so as to exclude from the navigation of part of the Danube ships of other countries. CIIhRENCY OF INDIA.. Mr. CHEETHAM asked the President of the Board of Control if his attention had been called to the great inconvenience at present sustained by the co umereal classes in India fr.m the scarcity of a metallic specie in that country ; and whether it was the intention of the Indian G:werninent to ta,k. any measures to remedy the same by the creation of a gold coinage as a legal tender, in addition to the silver coinage now current there ? And if he was able to lay upon the table of the house a report of the extent of railway communication now in operation anCi in course of construction in India ? Mr. V. SMITH said no such complaint . had been made since be had been at the 800 r 1 of Control ; but the question of extending gold e , dna4e to India was well wor thy of consideration, and had not been lost sight of. (Hear.) With regard to the second question,, i here was no such detailed report in the posiession of the Board of Control, but sows c(irrespoodence bad taken place upon the subject ; and if it were mowed for there would be no objection to produce it. SITE OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY. • Mr. VERNON said since her Majesty had undertaken to issue a royal commission to inquire into the site of the National Gallery, he wished to put a question upon the subject to the noble lord at the head of the Government. The committee which sat in 1863 Orr the same subject felt itself impeded from recommending any sites which it really considered to be the best from a delicacy with regard to the nature of the tenure of those sites. Now he did not wish to trouble the noble lord to state spoof• CONSOLIDATION OF THE LAW. Mr. L. KING, seeing the hon. and learned member for Suffolk, he wished to ask him whether he intended this se-Jsion to bring in the Consolidatk‘n of the Criminal Law Bill, which he obtained leave to introduce on the 14th of February last ? Sir F. KELLY—After what has passed in this house on the subject to which this que.4tion refers, I think the question should rather have been addressed to the Go vernment. Still, I have no hesitation in answering the question, and I can a , sure the bon, gentleman that some of the roost eminent members of the Statute Law C .m -mission have been incessantly engaged in the prepara tion not only of the bias of which I have given notice, hut also of bills relating to other branches of the law. I have therefore great i.atistaction in announcing that the whole of these bills are at this moment ready to he laid on the table, and they will to-morrow or Monday be proposed to the House of Lords by the Lord Chan cellor. (Hear.) It was thought to be only right ?hat • these important bills should be brought in by some mem ber of the Government. (Hear, hear.) COUNTY COURTS BILL. Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice that on the motion for the second reading of this hill be should move a re solution to tie effect, that, in the present state of the national exchequer, it was inexpedient to add 170,0001 to the expenditure ofthe country in connection with the maintenance of county courts. STATE OF ITALY. Mr. DISRAELI— Seeing the noble lord the member or the City of London in his place, I wish to ask him whether he intends to-morrow to bring forward that motion of which he has given notice with respect to the affairs of the Italian States ? Lord J. RUSSELL—I am in the hand:: of the Go verentent on that question. I had proposed to bring the subject forward on Friday, and if my noble friend at the head of the Government will allow my motion to take precedence of the orders of the day, I shalt bring it on. Mr. DISRAELI—I shall be 'glad to hear what the noble lord wishes to say on the subject, and as it is an important question, may I ask the noble lord the First Minister whether he is disposed to assent to the propo sal which has ju-t been made to him ? Len I PALMERSTON—I thought my noble friend I intended to move his resolution on the motion for ad ' journment. There are several bills on the paper which it is important to get through a stage to-morrow, and if my noble friend means to bring the question forward in the shape of a substantive motion, it would be more con renient if my noble friend would take Monday instead of Friday. Lord J. RUSSELL—I could not bring the subject for: ward on the motion for adjournment, as I do not myself approve of the practice of speaking on the motion for ad• journment. Therefore if my noble friend has no objection to the question being taken on Monday, I will definitively postpone the motion till - then, when of course it will be allowed to take precedence of the orders of the day. The subject then dropped. WILLS AND ADNIINISTRATION BILL. In answer to Mr. MALINS, The SOLICITOR•GENERAL said he must resit_n this bill to" its inevitable fare, an d su b m it to " seeit quietly inurned." (Laughter.) When they arrived at the order of the day for going into committee ho should move that the order be discharged. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. After a short discussion this bill passed through corn mittee. APPELLATE JURISDICTION BILL. Oa the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. It. CURRIE, in moving that the bill be referred to a select committee, said that the noble lord a'; the head of the Government, in defending the bill, observed that compromises were sometimes expedient, necessary. and justifiable. As a general proposition, he did not be lieve any one would deny that ; but, on the other hand, every compromise must be judged on its own pecaliar merits. Agreement was no doubt a good thing, but where principle and honour were concerned he believed con viction was better. The liberal supporters of the noble lord advocated vote by ballot, an extension of the suf frage, and the entire abolition of Church rates. But the noble lord held none of these opinions, and he manfully and consistentlymaintained his own. ' They supported the foreign policy of the noble lord when it was vigorously and continuously assailed. They also fought with thenoble lord the battle of free trade. The noble lord, at a tine when the reputation of statesmen fell scattered like leave, • in autumn, nailed his coleursr te the mast ; he three: energy into the councils of the Qoeen, and thereby re stored peace with Europe. For these things he was thankful to the noble lord, and was happy to call him ',is leader ; but the duties of allegiance and leadership were correlative. The noble lord could not have a Liberal majority oiie night and a Tory one the next, composed of those who were bound to the Government by the agree able associations of quarter-day and the band of Lord Derby on the opposite benches. (Hear.) When the noble lord, after the last division on this subject, walked over the field of battle, accompanied by his hon. friend the member for Wells as his aide-de-camp, to examine the number and bodies of the slain, be must have exclaimed with Pyrrhus, "One such victory more will be my ruin." (Laughter.) He hoped the noble lord was not going to repeat the same thing that night. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord had 'ability and dexterity for almost any thing ;'but he did not think he could serve two masters at once. (Hear.) He must cleave to one or the other He must not receive the edicts of the House of Lords and Lord Derby and a,k his supporters in the House of Commons to ratify them. He spoke thus frankly and re epectfully, because he was a,sineere friend and admirer of the noble lord. He had been described by an hon. gen tleman opposite as a desultory and independent member of the house. But be could sincerely say that be yielded to no man in the wish that the house should hold a high high place in the estimation of the public, because he thought the greatest danger to free government consisted in the popular branch of the Legislature losing the cop& deuce of the people. And how could the House of Com mons retain -ucla confidence if they refused a select com mittee on such a subject as this, and contented themselves ith registering ~he edicts of te House of Lords ? He roped the house would support his motion 'which he had placed on the paper without consulting a human being. It so happened that he had studied the question of life peer ages arid appellate jurisdiction, and since he had given notice of this motion, he was astonished at the com munications made to him respecting it. If a committee were appointed, he could promise that it would be attended hy men of the highest eminence—judges of the common law and judges of the equity courts, who would show that the nill on the table contained as much mischief and as little .400 d as could be put into the same space of paper. (Cheers.) Would the House of Commons refuse to inquire into this important question, which infringed on a right which he believe& to be inherent in the Caown, that of creating life peerages, with the right to sit in the House of Lards. He was of opinion that her Majesty had the right to call upon any human being who was a subject to assist her, and this bill be considered to be a limitation of her prerogative. (Hear) The subject was large and important enough not only for a select committee, but for a protracted discussion in that house. What the eoris.'truction of a final court of appeal which would have to decide in the last resort on the fortunes and reputa tion of men and women should he was surely a que.tion which deserved the maturest consideration. (Hear, hear.) He might have a monomania on this subject, but upon his honour - he could not understand the course which hal been taken. The noble lord, like the knight in the old ballad, seemed to have entered into a frightful compact with somebody, and in such cases they knew who had the worst of the bargain. (Laughter.) A great many words had been used ,the other night on this subject, but the noble lord the mein ,ter for L on d on an d th e r i g ht h on . gen tleman (Sir Jas. Grabam) alone cane to deice quarters. But the lawyers who spoke tried to lead the house away from the ques tion. They acted like the condottieri of the middle ages, who fought all day and left no killed or wounded. They reminded him of the hen partridges which he lately saw in the country, fluttetiog their wings to lead persons sway from their nests. (Laughter.) He hoped they were ',hat tight going to take the buttons from the foils, 464 hive a statni-up fight. He heard it publicly sta.e I ia one of the rooms attached to the house that Lord Derby declared the bill might go where it lik e d if the clause of his hon. friend the member for lllaldon, which saved the prerogative of the Crown, I Really what instructions r-au?d he Saattati to 0 1 4 t, t i t tot, Mon, but perhaps the noble lord would be so good as to say whether the commission would have full power to propose such a site as they might consider the best adapted to the purpose. Lord PALMERSTON—I- cannot tell my hon. friend what the instructions will be, because the corninissien has dot yet been appointed, but of course it will be open to them to make such suggestions as mayappear to them to be the best.to make with regard to the site. I can only repeat, however, what I stated in the discussion of this question, that there are places, such as the Royal Palaces at Sc. James's. and Kensington.g,ore, and Marl borough House, which nn Government would agree to have converted into the National Gallery, even though they should be recommended by the commission, and for this obvious r , ason, that such places are the private pro perty of the Cr•iwn. (Hear.) MILITIA MUTINY IN IRELAND. Mr. F. FRENCH wished to put a question to the hon. Under-Secretary for War, relative to a statement which had been published with regard to the disbanding of the Tipperary Militia. It was stated that the men bad re fused to deliver up their arms on certain conditions, and that they had taken possession of the town of Nenagh, where they used their bayonets and fire-arms, and the troops of the line bad to be called in to quell teem. By a telegraphic message since received, it was stated that the mutiny had been quelled, and the question he wished to put to the !hon. Under-Secretary was, whether it really was the fact that the mutiny had been suppressed, but only with severe losses on both sides? Mr. F. PEEL—I have seen a telegraphic despatch from General Chatterton, which states that everything was quiet in the quarters where the mutiny had taken place. It added that one man had been killed and some 10 or 12 wounded belonging to the line, but it does not allude to the losses on the side of the militia. Colonel DUNNE—Does the hon. gentleman intend to go on with the Militia Pay Bill twilight ?—because, if he does, I shall call attention to the important cause of this unfortunate occurrence. Mr. F. PEEL—I hope to pass it through committee to-night. l.f: St. St. 6 i.; . ..• I 2,'(.i 5 St, St. ~ ~~0 ~~~ ~~ ~~ ~- *ia 001%4 (Vreitt.) TIM * 044 I* tti‘Will that the real intention ui thosa who oonosi4ed 401314 was to limit the prerogative of the Crown. Let him go to the antecedents of the measure. No doubt the Go vernment had the intention cf strengthening the appel --lata-jurisdiction of the Ffouse - of Lords when they ad vised her Majesty to create his noble friend Lord Wens leydale a peer for life. But as soon as the hare was started in the other house, the ball was opened by a noble lord, to•whors he would apply these lines of Gray, with only, a slight alteration Pull oft within the gilded halls, When he had seventy winters o'er him, The Lord Chief Justice led the brawls, While Law and Justice danced before him. (Laughter.) The Government made a good fight, but fley were defeated by a majority of 33. His right hon. friend (Sir J. Graham) said the other night that there was no., thing really new in th e world—that the same thing was, being acted over and over again. He thought it was in Captain Marryatt's " Peter Simple " that a. character was drawn who held that in the year 2222 they would be hammering nails in the same ship with the same people around as now ; and there was an Wits tration of that in the third volume of the " Lives of the Chancellors," parte 395, where in the life of Lord Chan cellor Nottingham the following: scene was described : —"The Chancellor had the sagacity to see the trap laid for the Government, but he had not the address to avoid it. He could not control the fervour of those frienvis of :he Government who, mad on the question of privilege, disregarded all party predilections and • stood up for their own notion of the rights of their order. During these debates the ex-chancellor and the reigning Lord Chancellor being pitted against each other, the latter suffered severely." His noble friend at the head of the Government said the other night, in answer to him, that whatever had been done in this matter had been acted before the foot-lights. Adopting that image, aryd the curiosa felicitas of the noble lord, he would consider the whole of this affair in a tneatrical point of view, and in an "Imaginary Conversation," not by W. S. Landor, hut by an author whom he would not name, he should Oil,: describe the scene (Scene, Venice. A Gothic library lookinc , out on the Grand Canal. Two Senators seated at table.) FIRST SENATOR—You're in a fix, and there's but one in Venice Can help you out of 't, and that I am ho Full well thou know'st. When rogues on the Rialto Are growing seedy, they've an ancient custom : Each draws a little bill, and each accepts it, And then they spout their paper, and the house That takes it is done brown (a house we wot of). Nobles may learn from knaves, say dost thou twig me ! SECOND SENATOR—AIas ! too well. FIRST SENATOR —Then mark me " Villegrande." I, too, have run my head against a wall Right at the .11oge's power, of which I boasted To be the best, if not the sole, defender; Yet I will curb this curst prerogative, Ent hide the hand that does so. " Campobello" (Bellow he's rightly named) doth roar and bluster About his " Res decreta," but we knew 'Tis worth the ink that writes it, and no more. I want a statute with all forms of law; We'll wrap my 44; at the prerogative In some sham semblance of a law reform,— 'i he very cry you've started,----and the Commons Will toss their noses to the wind, and open Full on the false scent and o'errun the true one. Old Campobello is the man to do it ! For well he knows so to embalm a rat, That none shall nose him. Ah ! you hesitate, But I have more to offer ; and, besides, Will find some plaister for your broken pate; Two golden rings and twice six thou-and ducats To oil the legal wheels and set them whirring ; And they shall whirr and whizz on this suggestion, Down there below, until the wretch who hears them Shall stop his ears, and, bothered by their pother, surrender at discretion. Here's a plan In which I think you trace a master's hand. SECOND SENATOR.-- But then the Doge, my lord FIRST SENATOR. The Doge be d—d ! Sweet " Villegrande," if you sign this paper And do my high behests, I'll bear you harmless Out of this ugly serape ; but If. by Heaven, You pause or falter—ere the chimes of six Strike on St. Mark's —I open on the Senate And thunder o'er it till " the stones of Venice" Turn on their sides to meek thee with their grinning. Sign, then ! FECOND SENATOR (with great expression).—l sign FIRST SENATOR —Why there's a clever fellow. [Exit FIRST SENATOR with the paper in his pocket, whistling " The Rateatcher's Daughter."]* (Laughter.) SECOND SENATOR—The Doge! the Doge ! I fear I have betrayed him. [Opens the window, gazes on the Grand Canal, shuts the window, and rushes frau., tically out of the apartment.] (Laughter.) Now, that was a, curious fragment, and he should be happy to furnish any gentleman with the references to it in private. He thought that, in courtesy to the house, the assent of the Crown to the introduction of the bill should be notified to it. That was done in the House of Lords, but only on thb third reading, laud after some observations made by Earl Grey. Although the power of the Crown in respect to life peerages bad been dormant, it was one which nobody should with to repeal. They were accustomed to look on their ancestors as benighted beings- in many respects, and their descendants might entertain the same opinion in respect to the present generation. The time was when the possession of many acres, and being descended from an ancient family, were put forward as grounds of recommendetion for the office of Speaker, which shovied how much public opinion had chimp(' since that time. A noble lord who had been well known to many of them, used to say that there were two great ijects of ambition to the peerage of this country, a garter or a lord-lieutenantey, and that because they were uerer given to merit. It was quite natural that such - seould be the case. The low-born or the outcast might possess them. But those distinctions were the test of po litical power, rank, and position. Submission to wealth and rank was the besetting sin of this country. It would not, however, be always so. The world was advancing, and they might look forward to the day when their merit, their intellectual qualities, would be more valued. The day would come when the House of Lords might find the acquisition of such qualities important to them. He knew what would be thought if Mac aulay, whose pages would live for ever, or the gallant eo whom he had the honour of meeting at dinner last night, were to be made hereditary peers. The creation of life peerages was a valuable though dor mant privilege, of which the Crown ought not to be de prived. Her Majesty was younger than many of them, and might live to see great cause for refreshing the House of Lords in this way, but whether good or bad, he prerogative should not be god rid of by a side-wind. Some contended that the bill had not this defect, but the existence of the doubt was a reason for referring it to a select committee. He next came to the plunder of the public purse, for such he would call it. He had received a letter from a most learned judge, who stated that they • could not have a good court of appeal if the judges were to sit as judges of appeal only—(hear)—it was absolutely necessary that a judge should be daily conversant with the practice of the courts. Another objection to the bill was, it would tend to corrupt all the puisne judges. (:Tear, hear) It held out precisely the golden bait at which those learned persons wet- , likely to bite. In ad veneer] years easy work with high position, like that of the deputy. speakers, was an object to all men. The bill would demoralise the bench. (Hear, hear.) The legis lature was bound to elevate the tone of public opinion —to sec an example of truth, and not to perpetuate such a monstrous sham as this bill. If the court ever sat, they ought to inscribe in Go hic letters over the door a monosyllable to which he would not allude. (Laughter.) It was a sham to call it a House of Lords ; it was an attempt to impose en the public rather than to face the great question whether the appellate jurisdiction should remain. The Solicitor-General told them, indeed, it would be the House of Lords, and laid it down with an assumption and assertion which made him (Mr. R. Cur rie) understand the late Dr. Arnold saying "that he would rather see his son starve than educate him for the profession of the law." (Laughter.) He (Mr. R. Currie) did nob mean to libel the noble and generous profession —(loud laughter)—but they had seen the very particular effect it had produced on a certain mind. They had plenty of assumption and assertion that it was the House of Lords—it would be the House of Lords—and it should be the House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) It re minded him of Lord Peter's answer to the men who had the audacity to deny that the joint was a leg of mutton. "My good sir, and all I can say is, that to eyes, touch, taste, it is nothing but a crust of bread." The second says, " I never saw a leg of mutton so like a crust." " Confound you both," says Lord Peter, " for a pair of blundering, ignorant, positive fools ; by jingo, it is as good a leg of mutton as ever I saw, and God con found you both eternally if you do not believe it." (Laughter.) The new court would no more be the House of Lords than the three clerks at the table would be the House of Commons if they were to empower them to sit there during the recess for certain purposes. He called en the house not to sanction by act of Parliament this daring limitation of the prerogative, not to lend their assistance to a downright falsehood and a barefaced robbery, not to organise this machinery for the corruption of the judges, which must throw distrust on the bench ; not deliberately to inaugurate a solemn sham. Let them refer the bill to a select committee, and after that bury in oblivion this miserable measure, and at the commencement of another session the House of Commons would apply itself with dignity and calmness to the gravest question which could occupy the great council of the people, viz., which was the best court of appeal, final and in the last resort, to determine on the rights, properties, and liberties of each individual. He should reject with scorn this claim to a prescriptive jurisdiction. The appellate Jurisdiction of the House of Lords was no ancient right, but a fungus of yesterday, an ephemeral usurpation. He begged to move that the bill be referred to a select committee. Mr. E. DENISON, in seconding the amendment, said he was no enemy to compromise, and a reasonable adjust ment of a great question would be no objection to him; but he found no compromise in the present measure. He found rather confusion of ideas. The question of appellate juris diction was quite distinct from that of the prerogative of tho Crown. And this bill really extinguished the prero gative of the Crown to create life peers. The House of Lords had chosen to enter into a quarrel with the Crown upon that question. And yet the House of Lords, after giving judgment upon that question in their own favour, sought by this measure to make the House of Com mons the means of effecting an arbitrament of the quarrel. Thum were extraordinary inconsistencies and contradic tions which had been exhibited upon the subject. On the subject of life peers it had been declared that the appellate jurisdiction of the peers was in a highly satisfactory state. That question of life peers, however, had no sooner Ira settled than it was found that the appellate jurisdiction was in+ the most Totten state—(hear)---inpmucli thr!.t, the power of Parliament must be invoked to infuse into it new vigour. Then , again, at one time it was objected that the life peerage would flood the House of Lords with lawyers; and yet this measure was for the purpose of providing a a re- was a rged sible, ;d it. to a one. r not e did Very W a vrOte note I said o the ) pre hand tnent er he i the ,ht of y for e till glish lance F red In 1, at Irian(' kis/. was lay, [ou tlet! 2d. the 2d. was owe Lteir 50 16 723 a
