The committee divided on the question that the words proposed to be left out stand part of the question. Content 26 Not -content Majority The words were accordingly struck out. On clause 32 Lord LYNDHURST moved the restoration of all the words which had been struck out on the third reading of the bill in the House of Cammone, excluding Dissenters from seats in the senate of the university. He said that the change which had been made in the House of Com mons would, if allowed to remain, have an important in fluence ou the religion of the country, and implored their lordships to vote the restoration of the words which had been struck out. Their lordships should recollect that the words were struck out by a small majority and in a thin house ; indeed, he believed that the division was altogether a surprise. The Government itself had been taken by surprise. With respect to the question itself, he would trouble the house by reading a few observe tiara which had been Riede in the other house. An hon. member said, " The effect of the amendment will be to confer on Dissenters who taleethehigher degrees the right to interfere in the affairs of the university, and to vote for members of Parliament ; and I fear it will mar the use fulness of the bill by exciting, a feeling of alarm in the minds of those whose co-operation is necessary for the suc cess of the measure. It is not to be doubted that there is a strong and intimate connection between the Church of England and the universities, and a proposal to allow dissenters to interfere in fixing the theological studies will excite alarm. The amendment will therefore tend to impair the usefulness of the university." He (Lord Lyndhurst) concurred entirely with these observations, which were ascribed to a member of the Government— he believed the gentleman who in the other House of Parliament had the conduct of the hill—and he inferred from them that the Government was hostile to the change. Taking these words in connection with the fact that the Government was taken by surprise in the House of Cornruone, he felt sure that their lerlehipe would con cur in his amendment, which was that the words omi.ted in the last stage of the bill in the other house be re stored, for the purpose of preventing dissenters from taking any part in the government of the university. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was Trite true that when the bill left that house two years ago it contained the restriction alluded to by his noble and learned friend, and it was equally clear that they were in the bill when it wae re-introduced in the other house during the present session. He should have been saris • fled it matters had so remained, but unless it could be shown that the omission of these words really did great in jury, or cause real apprehension to the Cnurch, he would submit whether it was advantageous, on questions of this sort, for their lordships to assume an attitude antagonis tic to the other house of Parliament. Lord LYND HURST—The restriction was in the Ox ford Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that these fre quent antagonisms were not creditable to their lordships, and he must remind them that it was only a fortnight since that that argument had been used by his noble and learned friend on a subject quite germane to the present. Their lordships would recollect that his noble and learned friend had occupied teem on a question on which he re gretted to eat/ his noble and learned friend was defeated, but which was very like the present: And he (the Lord Chancellor) must say that if it was not dangerous to the Christian religion to introduce :Jews into that house, neither did be believe it would be dangerous to the Church of England to introduce a few dissenters into the universities. He believed the proportion would be very small. [Lord Lyndhurst—l he; your pardon.] He believed it would be infinitely small, and the likelihood was that the proportion would be absorbed by the Church. He did not know whether it was MIT. Barbauld or Dr. Aiken who had said that there was no instance of dis senters preserving the character for t vo generations. The Earl of DERBY said he had a great respect for Mrs. Barbauld-e-(a laugh)—but he hardly thought the noble and learned lord's sarcasm worthy of the time or the place. He could net understand why a law was to be made for Cambridge which had been refused to Ox ford. Neither could he understand why one principle should be enforced one session and another in another. He was as unwilling as any one to be in antagonism to the House of Commons ; but in a case like the present, when an important principle was involved, be trusted that tber lordships would act on tbeir own unbiassed judg ment. Both Government and the House of Commons were inconsistent with themselves in this matter. Two years since the House of Cominoes declded in a full house fur the principle advocated by his noble and learned friendsiand Government acquiesced in that deci• Bien. The words proposed to he restored by his noble and learns f friend were struck out in a house of 130 members, whereas two years before they were affirmed by a house of 400 members. He trusted, therefore, that their lordships would not allow themselves to be in fluenced by what he must look upon as only a casual nd Stolen vote. Lord MONTLAGLE supported the bill as it stood, as being consi,tent with the soundest principles of legis lation. He took the liberty of separating the cases of Oxford and Cambridge ; they were entirely dissimilar. In the days of Queen Elizabeth there was nothing which prevented the admission,. of Dissenters at Cambridge. Even afterwards a Dissenter could attend the course of education afforded by the university ; it was only upon his going up to take his degrees that he was refused the honour to which his industry and talent entitled him. But at Oxford the prohibition against dissenters took effect in limine —it occurred upon a candidate present ing himself for the matriculation examination. What Was now proposed to be done was no more than had been done in Ireland by Mr. Pitt in 1793, and he defied any one to say that that step had not been attended with the happiest results. He denied that this matter had taken the member of the other house by surprise ; solemn no tice was given of the amendment which made it part of the bill, and, in fact, two divisions of the house took place upon it. The noble lord opposite (Earl Derby) had, when a member of the other house, expressed an Opinion directly favourable to the principle of this bill. The Earl of DERBY explained that the spiech of his tO which the noble lord referred bad reference only to the a .mission of dissenters to the benefits of a University eduoation. He still retained the opinions which be then expressed on that subject. But the question then under consideration was the adruission of dissenters among the Mr. ROEBUCK thought that this was not a bill to be rejected in the summary manner proposed. He thought clauses might be inserted in committee, which by afford ing publicity with regard to the amount advanced by the secret partners, would at once secure the advantages o: combination, and at the same time to prevent the possi bility of collusive partnerships by which the publicrnight be cheated. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GLYN said the suggestion just made was one of the greatest importance, and if the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Lowe) would promise to adept it he wou'd not ob ject to the bill, otherwise he would use every effort in his power to get rid of this most obnoxious measure. He considered that the evidence taken before the commit tee which had sat on this subject clearly established three points. First, they undoubtedly proved that legis lation was necessary in consequence of the repeal of the usury laws. 2dly, They showed that an alteration in the law of bankruptcy ought to be made contemporaneously with the change ia the law of partnership. Of that the bill before the house contained no trace. Lastly, the evi dence demonstrated the necessity there was for securing publicity to these partnership contracts, to effect which he (Mr. Glyn) saw no mode except registration. The simple fact that the bill did not carry out the suggestions of the committee was a suffic'ent reason why he should give it his oppos'tion ; but that was not all. The right hon. gentleman told the house that his object was nut to alter the law of partnership, but only to correct the effect of certain legal decisions. Now, as ho (Mr. Glyn) had always looked upon the law of partnership as one of the very fundamental principles of our commercial code, he must say that that statement of the right hon. gen tleman had very greatly astonished him. (Hear.) The light hon. gentleman said that, if encouraged by the house, he would bring in a more extended bill on the sub ject. [Mr. Lows;—l said I would move for a select com mittee ] The very thing. Let the right hon. gentleman move for a select committee, hut let him not attempt to farce the present bill upon the house. In the commercial circles in which he (Mr. Glyn) moved, whatever might be thought of the law of limited liability or the Joint Stook Companies Act, there was but one sentiment, and that an adverse one, with regard to the present bill. In ' every country where there was a law at all like the pre sent measure, the bankruptcy law was much more strin gent than our own ; and he regarded an alteration in that law 33 a necessary preliminary before any attempt •vas made to relax the law of partnership. Mr. MALINS said the speech of the hon. gentleman was a retrograde one ; for up to the present time be had always come forward in support of the law of limited liability. The present ,bill he regarded as embodying that principle—a principle which he must remind the hon. gentleman tbree out of five of the witnesses before the Parliamentary committee were in favour of adopting. As for the case put by his hon. friend (Mr. Spooner) he would appeal to him whether instances of exactly the same character were not of daily occurrence even under the present law ? (Hear.) At present a man might lend money at 30, 40, or even 50 per cent., and he might at any moment come forward and sweep away all the pro perty of the firm, as well as imprison the members of which it was composed. Was the house prepared to go back, and re-enact the usury laws? If not, they had no case whatever against the bill. (Hear.) The bill em bodied three principles--first, it permitted a person to lend money to a firm and receive a portion of the profits instead of a fixed interest, without making him a part ner. Secondly, it enabled a man to remunerate a ser vant by a share of the profits without making him a member of the firm—an enactment to which be believed there was no objection at all. (Hear, hear ) Lastly, it enabled a partner to withdraw, leaving a portion of his capital in the firm, without thereby continuing liable. He (Mr. Malins) thought that all those principles were reasonable, and he hoped the house would at once go into committee. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CROSSLEY denied that the bill had any con nection whatever with the principle of limited liability, for a partner under its provisions would have no liability at all. (Loud cheers.) It was said that a man might lend money at any rate of interest ; but there was this difference in the two cases, that a creditor, unlike a partner, had no right to examine the booke. (Hear.) Mr. BASS said that the hon. members (Mr. Spooner and Mr. Glyn) had no doubt correctly expressed the elings of millionnaires. Ile, however, was acquainted with a large number of small capitalists, and they were all in favour of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. G. BUTT was really surprised to hear his learned friend contend that the bill embodied the principle of limited liability. Its principle, as had been truly ob tierved, was no liability. (Hear, hear.) He would put a case. Suppose a man advanced to a trader 1,0001. on condition of receiving seven-eighths of the profits ; be would receive his money back over and over again ; and when the trader failed he would still be a creditor for the amount. Ile was as friendly to limited liability as I any one ; but this bill enabled persons to take away the profits of business without incurring any liability at all. Under the second clause, an agent or factor who took a share of profits was exempted from partnership liabili ties. The result of this would be, that men would en gage as agents, servants, or factors, on such terms as to receive the great er s h are of the profits, ' and would escape liability altogether. The third clause was no less mis chieveue. It would enable retiring partners to pay themselves, in the shape of profits, the capital they pro become law. Its principle was that of lending on profits, which he thought an extremely beneficial stateof things. He was told that the bill ought not to pass without safeguards. He feared that such safeguards as were de sired would render the bill a dead letter. Recently two very great changes in the law had taken place, the re peal of the usury laws, and the Joint• Stock Companies Act ; and if they declared registration or publicity ne cessary under this bill, who would take advantage of it at all I Would not persons who had money to lend pre fer to advance it as under the present system ? He thought it an iejurious plan for capital to be supplied, for short periods, by persons who dwelt in it; he should prefer to see it placed on a more permanent and regular footing. While the widest facilities were allowed to the regular money lender, why should the person who lent on profits be tied up by all sorts of restrictions He denied that persons advancing money in that way would be entitled to go over the books; all they could do would be to have an account taken, if necessary, under a court of equity. At present a creditor might not only stipulate for exorbitant interest, but also for security, and might have the stock taken once a week if he chose. Why should a pers' n who lent on profits be subjected to greater restrictions ? He should be inexcusable if he con sented to introduce into this bill a provision for registra , • Won. Such a provision would be a cruel trap, a miserabie (delusion, and would inflict more hardship, and lead to more fraud, than any species of iniquity. If there were the slightest informality in the register, the party would be rendered liable to his uttermost farthing. With such provisions as were proposed by Mr. Hadfield, it would be far better to have no bill at all; and he could not un• derstand how those who professed to be in favour of the principle of the bill could g ive their sanctio n to such snares and pitfalls. He should stand on the bill in it , present form. Its object was not to alter the laws of partnership, but to enable individuals to advance capital without incurring those leavy penalties to which they were now subject (Hear, hear.) Mr. CALDWELL complained that the same princi• ciples of publicity which was considered to form the chief merit of the Joint-Stock Companies were declared in this bill to be impracticable and illusory. He went at some length into the state of the law upon this subject in other countiies to show that in every case publicity was an essential feature of all these transactions. The effect of the bill as it stood might be this :—A. gentle. man basing 10,0001. to speculate with, sends two men down to Liverpool, with 5,000/. each, to speculate on some article, in which speculation might run high. One was to speculate for a rise, and the other for a fall. The one was likely to fail, the other to make a fortune. By this bill the fortune would belong to the man who ad vanced the money. In the case of failure, the creditor's loss on the first scheme was limited ' • in the next place,, he had stood as a credit or f or the 5,0001. he had ad vanced, and in the third place he would be a crediter with means of knowledge which no other creditor pos sessed. Under those circumstances ho would oppose going into committee. The LORD-ADVOCATE defended the bill, contend ing that it placed the law of lender and bog rower on a proper footing. ,The case which Mr. Cardwell had put would not apply. In the first place, he doubted whether the speculation would be a good one ; but if it were, the fact that the speculator had sent instructions to his men «f straw would make him out to be a partner. All this bill would do was to describe a creditor as a creditor — a principle which had first been departed from in conse quence of the usury laws. Mr. LINDSAY thought that in the course of the de bate bon. members who had argued against the - bill had appeared to overlook the fact that the creditor acted in a perfectly voluntary manner, and he thought it would be for better to leave the creditor alone to his own exertions and industry. He looked upon it as perfectly impossible for any acts of Parliament to prevent fraud, and be thought that commercial transactions ought not to be left too free from legislative interference. He thought that the proposed system of registration would be falla cious, and would fail to secure the ends for which it Lad been proposed. Mr. M. CHAMBERS looked upon the question with which the bill proposed to deal as one of extreme diffi• culty, and one which required great caution in dealing with. He thought that some system of checks ought to be provided iu connection with the alterations pro pc, e I to be made in the !ascot partnership by this bill. He should vote for going into committee, in the hope that Mr. COWAN asked what the intention of the Go vernment was - with regard to the professorship of military surgery in the University of Edinburgh, which became vacsnt about six mouths ago by the death of Vie then professor? Mr. F. PEEL eisictsit was not the intention of the Government to suppress the chair of military surgery referred to, but he eas unable to say when the vacancy would be filled up. Arrangements had been made to prevent any inconvenience arising from the delay. PAYMASTERS OF IRISH CONSTABULARY. Mr. Sergeant O'BRIEN called the attention of the house to the case of the late paymasters of Con stabulary in Ireland, and to the compensation allowed to them on the abolition of their office. In 1836 these paymasters were appointed at a salary of 2001. per annum. In 1851 the offices were abolished, a❑d receivers appointed, and a pension was recom mended by the Lord-Lieutenant to be granted to the paymasters of 1501. per annum to some, 1201. to others. and 1001, to those who had been in the service from 6 to 10 years each. The Government, however, instead of concurring in that recommendation, gave pensions of only 42/. per annum to the first ; 361. to the second; and gratuities of 104/., 771., 631., 511 , and 341., to the youngest class. He asked for an explanation of the award. Sir D. NORREYS believed that this was an exceed. ingly hard case. At the time it first eccurred he at tempted to obtain justice for the parties, but failed ; and he hoped the present appeal would be more successful. Nothing could more illustrate the necessity for adminis trative reform than ,this case, for it was impossible that the civil service of the country could be well performed if any part of it were unjustly treated ; and here they had an instance that such injustice could arise. Now that feeling should be removed, if the state expected to be well served. Lord MONCK said it was not in his power to hold out any hope that the decision already come to in this case would be departed from. The case was decided by the Treasury as far back as 1851, and he need not refer to the obvious inconvenience that must arise if one Trea sury Board were to reverse the decision of its predeces sor. Under the act passed in the reign of Win. IV., su perannuation pensions were authorised to be granted to certain departments of the public service, the officers of those departments contributing annually a portion of their salaries to keep up a fund out of which the pensions should be partly paid. In 1848 it was proposed to place these officials under the schedule of that act, but theyde ciined the offer, and when, some years afterward, their offices were abolished, the state made them all the com pensation it was in their powerto grant. The house would take an unwise step if it did anything which shout.' be at all calculated to disturb that arrangement. Lord NAAS protested against this question being treated as one for superannuation ; it was not a super annuation case at all, but purely one of abolition of office, and for that abolition no adequate compensation had yet been awarded. (Hear, hear.) The subject then drooped. THE CAPE. Furness Railway • • - ••• • . Glasgow, and South -Western.. •..... Great Northern. • • .. • • ........

ROBBERY AT TIIE MANCHESTER POST-OFFICE.—A. robbery of a somewhat serious, and also mysteriona cha racter., has recently been committed in the post-office, Brown-street. The money received at the money order office in King•street is each evening conveyed to the post-office, and there locked up in a safe by one of the officials, who gives a rem ipt for the ascertained amount: This was done on Saturday night last, but, on Monday morning, it was discovered that this bag, containing about ZOO sovereigns, had disappeared. How the safe WAR °paned, as well as other circumstances connected with the robbery, has for the last few days been the sub jeet of anxious inquiry by the principal of the establish me nt.—Mancliester Examiner. Mr. SPOONER thought that this would lead to litiga tion, in short to decide where the solvency left off and the insolvency began. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the real question was whether a man who advanced money was to be con• sidered a partner because he adVanced money upon the consideration of receiving a share of the profits. The principle of the bill was that instead of receiving a certain fixed rate of interest he should receive a certain share of the profits. Now, if ho were not to receive a fixed rate of interest nothing would be more unjust than to place him in a worse position than the man who advanced his money upon interest. Mr. CARDWELL said that the late division had mate rially altered the principle of the bill with regard to per sods who had advanced money to private firms, because the sums advanced were to be left in as assets. He sup ported the proviso limiting the time to one year. Mr. HANKEY said ho entirely agreed with the hon. member foi Wallingford that the bill as originiflly pro posed would be most useful, but if fettered by any condi tions putting loans on a different footing from partner ships, it was perfectly useless. Mr. MALINS said that the house had now thrown upon the lender of money the most penal consequences of being a partner, namely, a total forfeiture of his capital, and if that clause were to be carried, he hoped the house would see that it was useless to proceed further with the bill. 1,6 k 553 N 5N 183% 467 59,042 1,737 13,4t7 19,351 728 58,569 1,731 17,678 17,7:18 600 Lord PALMERSTON said that the amendment making the lender a partner 'must entirely defeat the principle of the bill, and upon the result of that amendment must de pend the fate of the bill. The committee divided. The numbers were— For the amendment Against it Majority —2) Clause 3 was-then agreed to. Clauses 4 and 5 were agreed to. The following clauses were added :-6.
