HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tars DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Llanolly Railway and Dock (New Lines, &c.) Bill was read a second time. NEW ZEALAND. Sir J. TRELAWNY gave notice that on going into committee of supply he would draw the attention of the house to the state of New Zealand. SUPERANNTTATTON OFFICERS (PENSIONS) BILL. Mr. M. 'MILNE S, in moving the second reading of this bill, said he believed that the principle of the measure could not be impugned. It was most unjust to treat this class of officials to whom the bill referred in a position different to other public functionaries who received retiring allow ances.' He did not consider that there was any body of men in the civil service who were more deserving of the gratitude of the country than these men, wile rendered the most important services in the arduous position in whieh they were placed. The time had gone by when the prison officer formed the subject of portraiture by the novelist, and was hold up to the ridicule and abhorrence of the humane and enlightened members of society. He did not propose the remuneration to these men on retirement to be paid out of the Consolidated Fund, but out of local taxation. After a short discussion, the house divided— For the motion Against it Majority _79 The bill was consequently lost. QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES BILL. This bill passed though committee, Mr. SOTHERON ESTCOURT reserving his threatened opposition until the third reading. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. On the motion that the house go into committee on this bill, Mr. NEWDEGATB rose and .moped the following amendment : "Thatthis house will, to-morrow, resolve itself into Com mittee, to consider the propriety of establishing in lieu of church-rates, thenceforth to be abolished, a charge on all hereditarnents, in respect of the occupancy of which church rates have been paid within the last seven years ; such charge to be levied with the county-rate at an uniform rate of poundage, the occupier being in all cases entitled to de duct from his rent the amount of the charge levied on his occupation." He said he had been induced to adopt this course in order to allay the agitation which had so long existed on this subject ; and in the interests of peace, the interests of religion, he hoped the house would grant him the committee he asked for. He objected alto gether to exempt any person from the payment of church rates on the ground of religious scruplds. He contended that what he proposed was consistent with the opinions of some very eminent men, who looked altogether on church rates as a tax on property. He proposed to fix the rate of church charges at 2d. in the pound, which was to be col lected in all parishes where church rates had been levied during the last seven years, and paid over to the Clerk of the Peace, and by him transferred over to the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty, and he selected that body be cause it was not exclusively clerical. The governors would be required to act as treasurers of this fund, and in the event of more being collected than was required for Church purposes, then the surplus was to be allowed to accumulate for the benefit of the parish in which it was col lected, and so become a fund liable for any extraordinary demand. In the event of the surplus fund being expended in the creation of an endowment, then all further charges were to cease and determine. In the event of this commit tee being appointed, he should move a resolution accepting the whole bill as it stands, but expressing an opinion that church rates ought to be commuted for a church charge at the rate of - pence in the pound. He hoped the house would accept the course he proposed, and thus remove a great source of discord. Mr. SELWYN seconded the motion. Mr. ALCOUK objected to the amendment. Mr. BALL said he could not agree to the resolution of the hon. member for Warwickshire. He looked upon it as an emblem of strife, and an opening of a new controversy in a question which now so greatly divides Churchmen and Dissenters. He objected to it on the ground that it was opposed to the determination the house had already come to, viz., that church rates shall be abolished, and also because it would entirely preclude the possibility that now appeared to exist ofputting an end to the heartburnings that had existed for so many years between Churchmen and Non-conformists. The hon. gentleman was about to reply to certain observations that had been made in refer ence to "Essays and Reviews," when Sir G. C. LEWIS rose to order. The right hon. gentle man was out of order in referring to that subject, as it was not for the purpose of throwing any new light on the sub ject under discussion, but, on the contrary, would intro duce a theological question into the debate. Mr. BALL said he thought it unfair to take the objection at that moment. It ought to have been done when the subject was introduced, and not when a reply was about to be made to those observations. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. C. LEWIS said he was not in the house when the subject was first referred to. Mr. BALL would not pursue the subject further—(hear, hear)—as he was prevented referring to that book which he was very glad had been reprobated by the whole Bench of Bishops. He trusted the amendment would be rejected. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he should not go into the gene ral subject of church rates, but should confine himself to the amendment before the house. To him there appeared two extreme parties at variance on this question. One was the extreme or no-surrender-party, and the other, which simply advocated the abolition of church rates, and between them there was an intermediate class who, finding the pre sent law could not be maintained, were anxious to devise some scheme of a compulsory kind. He could not but look upon the amendment of the hon. member for Warwickshire as a proposal that would strengthen the law as it existed on the subject, and tended to revive all those bitter differ ences which now seemed on the point of being reconciled. (Hear, hear.) Lord R. CECIL considered that the proposed amend ment belonged to the no surrender class, and therefore it ought to be rejected. Viscount ENFIELD said he had invariably, although a member of the Established Church, voted against the re tention of church rates, but he protested against the opi nions expressed by the hon. member for Birmingham (Mr. Bright) on the question. Mr. STBUART objected to the amendment. Sir J. TRELAWNY said the proposition of the hon. gentleman opposite would make the rate quite a compul sory one. The sum proposed to be collected as a church charge was ill defined and very unsatisfactory, for it did not state whether it was levied on the owners or occupiers of the property. He thought a fixed charge would greatly aggravate the grievance ; and while that was the case he had not stated why he did not impose the same oharge in parishes that had sue cceded in gettin.; rid altogether of church-rates. He could only look upon the proposition as one that was well calcu lated to perpetuate the injustice which had been so long and so loudly complained ef. Mr. SELWYN hoped the hon. member, seeing that the feeling of the house was against him, would withdraw the amendment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NE WDEGATE said, after the opinions that had been expressed, he would not attempt to divide. (Hear, bear.) With the permission of the house, he would wish to withdraw the clause. (Hear, hear.) The amendment was then, by leave, withdrawn, and the house then went into committee. On clause 1 being proposed,. Mr. CROSS moved, in line 12, the omission of the words "in any parish in England and Wales," and in its place to insert the following :—" No church-rate shall be made or levied in any parish in which no church rate has been made or levied during the seven years previous to the passing of this act; and no chureh rate shall be levied upon any person who shall have delivered or sent by post to the churchwardens during the month of January in such year a declaration, under his hand, that he bona fide objects to the payment of church rates : provided always, that no person so exempted shall be entitled during such year to vote or act in vestry in the parish in reference to the mak ing, levying, or application of any church rate, or the application of any money applicable to like purposes ; and no church rate shall be made for other than the following purposes :—Repairing and maintaining the fabric of the parish church ; and repairing and maintaining the church , and or burial-ground of the parish church." Sir J. TRELAWNY, although he thought the amend ment unnecessary, should not object to the proposal of the hon. gentleman opposite. Sir W. HEYGATE advised the house to accept the present compromise. He had lately returned from the canvass of a very extensive county town, and he could assure the house the opinion of nonconformists was not at all fairly represented in that house. They were disposed to compromise, and it would be exceedingly un w i se t o l onger delay the settlement of this question. Mr. ADDERLEY opposed the amendment. He was quite content with the law as it at present stood. Mr. B. STANHOPE was favourably di s p ose d t owar d s a compromise of this question ; but it was not, as had been observed by the honourable member for Birmingham, because he considered his side of the house had been con quered, that therefore they were willing to give up every thing. Arr. HENEAGE supported the amendment. Sir J. PAKINGTON could not help congratulating the house on the tone the debate had taken. He' perfectly recollected the difficulties that had met all attempts at com promise that had been made. His opinions on this question had not been changed by the argiments"of the hon. member for Birmingham (Mr. Bright.) His opinion remained precisely what it was in 1858, when he expressed a desire that the question should be considered ;with a view to arrive at some settlement upon the principle of fair and moderate concession. The present state of the law, he was convinced, did an injury to the Church, as well as unaccept able to Dissenters. The annual squabble on church rates brought a scandal on religion, but he thought that the efforts now making would terminate in such a way as to be ac ceptable to both parties. He thought, however, that the best course the hon. member for Preston could pursue would be to withdraw thearnendment which he had moved, and introduce it as a specific proposition. After a short discussion, Mr. CROSS said he would conform to the course pro posed by the hon. baronet. He would therefore with draw the amendment on the understanding that on an early day he should introduce a separate bill embodying the proposals of those amendments. (Hear.) The amendment was then withdrawn. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then moved the following amend ment to the first clause : After " Wales," add "nor shall any money raised under any other rate be, applied to any of the purposes for which a church rate is levied." His great object was to prevent money raised in parishes as poor or other rates to be applied as a substitute for church rates. The amendment, he considered, could do no harm. Mr. SELWYN opposed the amendment. It was framed for the purpose of repealing a number of Meal acts and set aside certain customs without the house hnviag the slightest knowledge as to what they were. After a few words from Mr. DUNCOMBE, the amendment was withdrawn. The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses, 2,3, and 4, were also agreed to, amidst loud cries of " Hear, hear." The house resumed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.) ADMIRALTY COURT JURISDICTION BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of this bill, which be said, was one of much importance to the mercantile marine of this country, and its object was to enlarge the jurisdiction and improve the proceedings in the High Court of Admiralty. The causes tried in the court last year amounted to 1,618, and the average cost of each suit was £974. With respect to the jurisdiction of the court, it was at present somewhat circumscribed, but the present bill was to extend the juris diction to owners of all ships not residing within the juris diction of the court. The bill also, in his opinion, made other great kuprovements in the law with respect to salvage and the mode of proceeding with causes in the court. If the bill received the sanction of Parlia ment he had no doubt it would be hailed by all parties interested as a great improvement in the law as it stood previous to the passing of the bill. Lord CRANWORTH agreed with the Lord Chancellor in holding that the introduction of trial by jury into the Admiralty Court would be productive of the most mischiev ous effects. At present the judge of the Admiralty Court was assisted by two nautical persons, and the witnesses might be examined viva voce. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council were also assisted by two other nautical men, but they had no power of examining witnesses, and could not judge of the value of the witnesses by their de meanour. He, therefore, did not see any probability of the appeal court arriving at a better conclusion than the origi nal tribunal. As the bill stood, there was a right of appeal on all interlocutory proceedings, with the consent of the judge, and he suggested that an appeal on matters of fact should notbe allowed, unless the judge thought fit to autho rise it. (Hear, hear.) Lord CHELMSFORD said that in the great majority of cases the proceedings in the Admiralty Court were carried on by depositions, and in 99 out of every 100 collision cases the plaintiff was sure to gain. He should like to know the number of appeals in collision cases, and in how' many. in stances the decree of the Admiralty Contt , beta re; versed. The questions involved werl`e oft60141:411001151T: tante to ;the- 11AiOnt,arties,„: the/ eftie*: - .71 - grte rilt - ' contradictory, the p6ints were frequently of a ProfeSsional nature, and he thought that the commercial classes would view with alarm any proposal to abolish appeals alto gether. (Hear.) After a few words from Lord WENSLEYDALE, Lord KINGSDOWN said he had always held it to be necessary that in all.proceedir4s,,.in order to secure the fullest and most deliberate invOfigit'fan, l fheie should be a court of appeal, whicn should, when necessary, review the de cision of the courts below, and settle the law. This was more particularly necessary in regard to the Court of Admiralty, No one could bear stranger testimony to the ability and care displayed by the learned.judge who presided over this Court, but it was impossible altogether to avoid mistakes. Those who supported the amendment scarcely understood the mode of procedure in the court. It would, in fact, be utterly impossible to carry out the bill as it stood now with out altering the whole procedure of the court. There was always great contradiction in the evidence, and when, after considerable difficulty, it had been settled what the facts of the ease were, and their bearing had been explained, the judge retired with the nautical assessors, consulted with them apart, and then returned anil gave judgment at once, without ever stating which particular facts had been found and which had not. It was impossible, therefore, with such a procedure to separate facts from law, or to say which were matters of law, of fact, or of seamanship. Without the bill was altered, therefore, it would be necessary to alter the procedure of the court. After few words from the Earl of Powis, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he wished it to be generally known that the clause taking away the right of appeal was not suggested by the learned judge of the court, who would most willingly allow his decisions to be re viewed. The suggestion was his own ; but he had becoffe a convert to the opinions which had been expressed in the course of this discussion. He would, therefore, in commit- tee move that this clause be struck out; so that things would remain as they were. The bill was then read a second time: Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Devon Central Railways ; Edinburgh, Perth, an - I Dundee Rail ways (Queensferry Branches) ; Merionethshire Railway ; Great Dover Road; and Wexford Harbour Commissioners. NAPLES. Sir S. NORTIICOTE moved an address for copies of the despatch containing the instructions alluded to by Mr. Elliot, in his despatch of time 18th day of September, which commences with the following words :—" In conse quence of your lordship's desire, it became necessary for me to consider the best manner of seeing General Gari baldi ;" and, of the despatches of Admiral Mundy subse quent to the departure of Mr. Elliot from Naples.— Ordered. STEAM-VESSELS. Mr. BARING moved for a return, in a tabular form, with consecutive numbers, of the whole of the steam vessels registered in the United Kingdom on or before the Ist day of January, 1861 ; stating, in separate columns, the following particulars :—Otilcial number of ves sel ; vessel's name ; port of registry ; date of registry ; date of build ; registered owners ; dimensions of vessels in length and breadth and depth of hold ; ton nage (exclusive of engine room) ; and gross tonnage, dis tinguishing vessels built of iron, and vessels having screw propellers; also distinguishing vessels measured under the Merchant Shipping Act of 1854, from these measured under previous Acts ; and estimated horse power of their engines, and giving the aggregate number of vessels and amount of tonnage, with an index for easy reference attached to it, giving the names of the vessels in alphabetical order, with numbers to each, corresponding with the executive numbers in the return (in continuation of Parliamentary paper, No. 449, of session 1860).—Ordered COALS, CINpERS, CUL M . , &c. Mr. H. VIVIAN moved for accounts of the quantities of coals, cinders, and culm, and patent fuel, shipped at the several ports of England, Scotland, and Ireland, coast ways, to other ports of the United Kingdom, in the year 1860, distinguishing the quantity shipped at each of the said ports as compared with the year 1859 ; Of the quantities and declared value of coals, cinders, and culm, and patent fuel, exported from the several ports of England, Scotland, and Ireland, to foreign countries, and the ,British settlements abroad, in the year 1860 ; distinguishing the countries to which the same were sent, and comparing the same with the year 1859 ; also distinguished the ports of the United Kingdom from which the same were shipped. Of the quantities of coals, cinders, and culm, and patent fuel, exported from the United Kingdom, in the year 1860, with the rate and amount of duty thereon ; and, of the quantities c f coals and patent fuel brought coastways and by inland navigation into the port of London during the year 1860, comparing the same with the quantities brought during the year 1859.—Ordered. ESSEX TURNPIKE ROAD. Mr. ALCOOK moved for return of the salaries paid to surveyors, assistant surveyors, and clerks to the trustees, and any other officers paid by the trus tees of the first district of the Essex turnpike roads, giving the names of all the officers, dates of their appoint ments, and the saltines of each respectively, giving also the number of miles, :11e income and expenditure for the last year's account made up; and, similar return for the second district of Essex Turnpike Roads.—Ordered. TRANSFER OF LAND. Mr. V. SCULLY gave notice that, unless the promised bill of the Government on this subject were shortly intro duced, he would draw the attention of the house to the subject after Easter. HUNGARIAN NOTES. Mr. WHITE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs wltether the alleged manufacture of notes in this country, in the name of Hungary, had been brought to,the notice of her Majesty's Government by the Govetument of Austria; and what stops had been taken thereupon by the order or advice of her Majesty's Government Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that her Ma jesty's Government had: their attention drawn to the sub ject of the manufacture ,of notes by Kossuth, which bore the etai of the royal CA - own of Hungary, by the Grovern. ment of Austria. The matter had been referred to the law officers of the Crown, who gave their opinion that the issue of these notes was illegal, but that it would be imp)s sible to procure a conviction in case of indictment. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. In reply to Mr. lIANBITRY, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the bill for amending the Industrial Schools Act had been deferred until Government had received a report of the Commission on Education. TELEGRAPHIC CABLE BETWEEN ALVER STORE AND HYDE, AND MALTA AND ALEX ANDRIA. Mr. LIDDELL asked the Secretary to the Admiralty why no answer had been given to a report sent is by Mr. Piggott to the Board of Admiralty cf the result of a trial of his telegraphic cable laid down between Alverstoke and Ryde on the 20th of June last ? Mr. CONINGHAM asked for some information relative to the telegraphic communication between Malta and Alex- andria. Lord C. PAGET said that the Admiralty had nothing whatever to do with the subject to which the last question referred. With reference to the other question,, he would state what had occurred. Mr. Pigott, in April last, applied to the Admiralty for permission to lay down the line of his proposed telegraphic communication. The Ad miralt.yobjected to his carrying such line across the harbour of Portsmouth, but consente 1 to its being laid down be tween Alverstoke and Rydo. A letter had been since received from Mr. Pigott, stating that the undertaking had been completely successful ; but the Board of Admi ralty had nothing whatever to do in respect to that com munication, except to acknowledge its receipt. SIR BALDWIN WALKER. . _ _ Lord C. PAGET—I may, perhaps, bo permitted to take this opportunity of informing the house that the Avon was sent out this morning to endeavour to intercept Sir Baldwin Walker. (Laughter.) Sir J. PAKIN G TON—After the announcement which he has just made, perhaps the noble lord will allow me to put to him two questions. First, whether it is true that no telegraph was sent from the Admiralty till half-past 11 o'clock to-day? (Hear, hear.) i Secondly, whether the Avon is not reckoned cue of the slowest ships in her Ma jesty's service? (Laughter, and hear, hear.) Lord C. PAGET—It is quite true that the orders were sent out this morning, but it must be ramembered that the Avon sailed from Devonport, and that we had news of Sir Baldwin Walker having put out from Yarmouth roads, where he had taken shelter, this morning. It is quite possible, therefore, that the Avon, may be able to cut him• off. (Laughter.) MASTERS AND OPERATIVES. Mr. MACK INNON obtained leave to bring in a bill for establishing equitable councils of conciliation between masters and operatives. COLONIAL MILITARY EXPENDITURE. Mr. A. MILLS moved for a select committee on colonial military expenditure, to inquire and report whether any, and what, alterations might be advantageously adopted in regard to the defence of the British dependencies, and the proportions of cost of such defence as now defrayed from imi_erial and colonial funds respectively. The hon. member, in a speech of some length, condemned the policy pursued by this country in reference to the subject, which he contrasted unfavourably with other European States. He contended that instead of this country being requested to expend millions annually in providing for the defence of our foreing possessions, these colonies should be induced to become self-reliant and independent as far as defences were concerned. Mr. MARSH seconded the motion, as he considered a committee would be desirable in investigating many details in connection with this subject. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that the motion of his hon. friend (Mr. Mills) was not regarded by the Government in a hostile light. On the contrary, as far as he was concerned, he, highly, approved Of the result 4rriveCf trfetion 0 - the honourable member, bit lie diftei4,AorAiiii . :'iur to the: ra(3atakievel attaining it. llO'Vetirrd to the reports of the Depart mental Comraission - instituted by the desire of General Peel during the administration of the late Government, which were an utter failure, so far as affording Go vernment any means of practically dealing with this question. The essence of these reports was that the defence of the colotties shoulddepend on local corps without any assistance from the Imperial country. But the fact was that the presence of British troops was desirable in our dependencies in maintaining a good feeling with the natives, and affording them a greater sense of security. The dis cipline and the esprit de corps of a local army were necessarily inferior to those of imperial troops. As regarded the argument of fostering a feeling of self-reliance on the part of the colonists, he had no doubt that that feeling would manifest itself in moments of dan- ger. • He referred to Australia, and other English colonies, to show that in cases of emergency they would supply the necessary means of self-defence. Mr. BAXTER thought the house was deeply indebted to the hon. gentleman for having brought this subject before the consideration of the house. He had done so in a very moderate speech, without passing censure on the present or any preceding Government. It seemed to hint desirable that they should obtain more full and explicit information on the subject. He had listened with great attention to the speech of the Under Secretary for the Colonies, and he must ex press his regret and surprise that Government should op pose the motion. The point taken by the Under Secretary was that the committee would interfere with the province of her Majesty's Government. He gave them an assurance that the noble duke at the head of the Colonial-office would carry out the principle that he had laid down. Jt was only on the previous Friday that the house had conceded an in- quiry into the Admiralty; and a committee had also been appointed to consider the number of matters which were peculiarly within the province of the Poor-law Board and the Exchequer. When, therefore, the hon. gentleman talked of this preliminary objection, he was in fact limiting too much the prerogative of the house ; and he (Mr. Baxter) hoped they would never accept the doctrine that they must leave such subjects in the hands of the Govet nment. (Hear.) In the present case there existed great differences of opinion amongst the officers themselves. Gen. Peel stated that the Government was labouring under great difficulty and em• barrassment with regard to the colonies ; and when they had so strong an expression from the gallant general, hon. members must be satisfied that a prima facie ease was made out for the interference of the house. According to the hon. gentleman (➢ir. Fortescue) everything was couleur de rose ; and no doubt his speech would be read with pleasure by the colonists; but the house must recollect that they were the representatives of the people of this country ; and that they found a report placed in their hands which stated the mili tary expenditure on account of the colonies for the year 1858 at £3,968,000, while the colonies only contributed the sum of £378,215. (Hear.) His hon. friend said that the cost had since been greatly reduced; but he wished the hon. gentleman had condescended a little to particulars. The surplus revenues of the Dutch colonies were stated in the report to be £2,600,000 a year, and those of the Spanish £l,lso,ooo—almost as large an amount on the right as ours was on the wrong side of the account. (Hear.) The hon. gentleman disputed the figures relating to the Cape of Good Hope, and stated that the expenditure was now less than half of what it was in 1558. Well, that would only make a difference of £400,000, which would still leave a sum of upwards of three millions for the defence of the colonies. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland did not contribute a farthing to this purpose, and the Cape only con- tributed the miserable sum of £30,000. So far from em- barrassing the noble duke at the head of the Colonial De pertinent, he was satisfied that the noble duke would find that an inquiry impartially carried on by a committee of that house would strengthen his hands and enable him to enforce his views upon those colonies which did not ade- quately support their own military expenditure. They all knew that very great things had been done in Australia; and he wished that the example which, with so much credit to themselves, they had set should be extended, not only with the sanction of the Colonial-office, but with that of the house. He hoped, therefore, that her Majesty's Government would reconsider their determination. (Cheers.) Lord R. CECIL had heard the last few words of the hon. gentleman (Mr, Fortescue) with surprise, for he had never listened to a more conclusive speech in favour of a motion than that which the hon. gentleman had finished by a declaration that he should oppose the proposition before the house. It appeared to him (the noble lord) that it was a great error to publish a report which showed how greatly the Government officials differed among it them selves ; but as it had been printed he did not know any adequate means of dealing with the controversy except by referring it to a select committee. The hon. gentle man entirely mistook the pedigree of the present mo. tion. It was really due to the very wise State paper which was issued last year by the right hon. gentle man the Secretary for the Home Department, in which he showed the great difficultyand cost of Colonial Government, and pointed out more authoritatively than anybody had yet done the mode of settling the doubts which had arisen. When the hon. gentleman spoke, however, of the three millions which were expended in the military defence of our colonies he overlooked a very important fact, namely, that the greater part of that sum was incurred in the defence, not of our colonies, but of a series of detached military posts. in the first place, more than a million of it was spent on the Mediterranean settlements, Gibraltar, Malta, and the lonian Islands. As to the propriety of retaining those posts, he said nothing ; but it was quite clear that the cost of them was really a war expenditure, and they had no right to charge it upon the colonies. The same remark applied to the Bermudas, Heligoland, St. Helena, and other places too numerous to mention. Then there was a large class of colonies which were in no danger from external enemies except in Europe, in other words, colonies which would not be involved in war unless by our own act. Of course if we went to war with France our relations in the Pacific would be endangered ; if with America those in the Caribbean Sea might be imperilled, and it was only conformable with the principles of justice that those who made the quarrels should bear the cost of fighting them (Hear, hear.) The exhaustive division which he had made of our colonies only left two others unmentioned. They were bordered by powerful native tribes, with whom the inhabitants might at any time come into collision. He referred to the Cape and to New Zealand. It might be a great question whether it was wise in the first instance to colonise these places at all. When they looked back at their past history they might well doubt whether they had repaid the great cost and anxiety which they had entailed ; but whether or not, we had entered into pledges with the emigrants who had left our shores, from which it was now impossible to draw back. Take the case of the Cape colony. Great complaints had been made of the enormous expenditure which had been lavished upon it ; but what had been our policy ? We had " curtailed its territory; we had left a large territory help lessly exposed to the attacks of the natives; and we had pro voked the formation of a hostile republic upon its borders. We had prevented the Dutch colonists from carrying on a kind of warfare in which they were perfectly able to keep the Kaffirs at bay; and we had therefore absolutely bound ourselves to protect the colonists from the consequences. With respect to New Zealand the question was not a mi:i tary one at all, but it arose from matters which were beyond the control of Parliament. It became a matter for serious discussion whether the house ought not to take the affairs of the colony more under its own cognisance. The present war had arisen solely in consequence of the pressure which was put upon the governor to furnish land for the settlers; and he did not think it was in accordance with the policy ef this country that the Imperial Government should leave such delicate questions to be settled entirely by the local authorities. (Hear.) For these reasons he regretted that his friend should not have seen fit to accede to the motion (Cheers.) Sir J. TRELA WN'Y thought it was not quite satisfac tory that so many heads of departments should be without seats in that house. (Hear.) 'At present the Secretary for the Colonies, the head of the War-office, and the First Lord of the Admiralty, were all members of the other house; and there was another great department which seemed almost to have been put in commission in the Lords—he meant the Chancellorship of the Exchequer. (Laughter.) With regard to the proposed committee, he doubted whether its appoint ment would not throw upon the house the responsibility he wished to see attached to the Government. The house repre sented the whole of her Majesty's subjec ts, not onlythe people of this country but the natives of the colonies. By the treaty of Waitangi her Majesty solemnly promised the New Zealanders the whole of their rights, tribal and otherwise. At this moment, however, there were almost troops enough in the colony to settle a Chinese war, or to put down another sepoy insurrection. There were already above 3,000 Euro pean soldiers there, and he heard that another regiment was under orders to reinforce them. And whence did this war arise? Three or four years ago, when the house was asked to guarantee a New Zealand loan of half a million, he warned them that there might be difficulties respecting the land ; and everything had happened as he feared. In the north island, not far from Taranaki, there was a plot ef land which had been obtained from the natives of New Zealand by practices which he would not describe. This land had formerly been held by a tribe which, for pur poses of whale fishing, had emigrate! 33 years ago to Queen Charlotte's Sound ; but they had always intended to come back. In fact the owner of the land made his son Wirimi Kingi, or William King, promise that he would go back. In the meantime, Governer Hodson had bought the rights of a few members of the tribe who had stayed be hind, and also of another tribe who had seized it and pre tended to the right of conquest. The governor evidently though he had got a capital title to the land ; but he had really no title at all. (Question.) Ha (Sir J. Trelawny) maintained that the New Zealanders had a right to be heard ; and he hoped that the imperial Government would not keep up the war when we had no case whatever a against Wirimi King. (Hear.) Mr. AD DERLEY felt justified in asking the Govern ment to withdraw their opposition to the motion, the only person who had expressed the slightest disapprobation of it being the Under-Secretary of State. (Hear.) The hon. gentleman himself admitted that the Government had, in consequence of the prersure put upon it, made a move in the direction indicated, and that they had not found any in convenience to arise from it. He knew the difficulty there was in inducing the house to entertain a colonial question ; but he would appeal to hon e members whether their opin ions on the subjectlatl notniliterially ripened in the course oven ©f the last hour ? The question next before the house was one affecting the hop duties. He confessed he should feel himself much better able to deal with the hop duties if the Government were prepared to say they would look int o this enormous waste. The Under-Secretary to the Colonies based his opposition to this motion upon the report of the departmental committee which sat last year. He (Mr. Ad derley) thought if the hon. gentleman had studied that re port more carefully he would be more eager to enter upon this subject. It was monstrous that nine-tenths of the Bri .ish empire should be exempted from contributing either men or money to the defences of the empire ; and that al 1 the forces for its protection had to be raised and paid for in this small metropolitan island. What reason was there for this ? Not only was it so, but the New Zealand colonists accused the home Government of having produced the pre sent quarrel. So that whilst the money of the taxpayers was being expended in this lavish manner, this country was not getting even the thanks of other parts of the empire. As to the report, what had the report to do with this inquiry ? It had been observed that the two gentlemen who drew up the report differed as to details, but they were perfectly agreed in the main that it was absurd for England to go on. finding men and money for the whole empire. Those two gentlemen expressly declared that upon the essence of the report they were perfectly agreed. The Under- Secretary for the Colonies said he could imagine nothing more conducive to the dismemberment of the empire than the withdrawal of British troops from the colonies. He (Mr. Adderley) had a very different idea of the nature of the connexion between the colonies and the mother country. But he asked would a Canadian who was equipped at the national expense be anything else than a soldier of the army of the British empire ? Why the American colonies were separated from this country only after ten years of the most pertinacious folly on the part of George 111. and Lord North; and even in those days they equipped not merely armies bUt navies in their struggle with the mother country. But, after all, what was it that did break down the connexion between the American colonies and England ? It was the commencement of a system of interference which was now quoted by hon. members as essential to the maintenance of union between the colonies and the mother country. Every body knew that by teaching the colonies to rest upon the mother country they were only weakening, paralysing, and pauperising them. He believed that subsidising the colo nial church only weakened it. (Hear, hear.) Then it was said that the imperial prerogative of the Crown had the right to make war and peace. But colonial quarrels often led this country into wars, just as our wars threatened theme with danger. (Hear, hear.) Some mention was made q volunteers in the colonies; but who could say what their numbers were ? At any rate, five regiments had been sent, out to New Zealand; and Parliament was so far responsade, for that war. Our only course, then, was to put dawn the war, and repeal the act which implicated us in the dispute. With regard to the Cape, the waste of troops and money in that colony was wholly indefensible. A return was about shortly to be laid before the house which would chow that, whereas it was provided that the German Legion were to be placed on half-pay until they were absorbed into the population, they had as yet been drawing full pay. The facts which had come out in the course of this debate had had great weight with the house, and the result of the in "quirks of a committee would again materially alter public opinion on this subject. He again earnestly pressed the Government to withdraw their opposition to this motion, Lord PALMERSTON—The right hon. gentleman cer tainly thinks the opinion of this house capable of very rapid formation if he imagines that it has been matured and brought to perfection in the short period during which this discussion has been carried on. I perfectly agree with my hon. friend in the objections he has urged to the motion pro posed. It seems to me that the objects to which the com mittee would direct its attention may be classed under two heads ; first of all it would have to determine what number of troops should be retained in each of our foreign colonies and dependencies ; and next, it would have to determine by whom those troops should be paid. Now, I think it is not too much to say, that the question of what should be the proper amount of garrison from time to time and from year to year under the varying and fluctuating circum stances of the empire and its relations with foreign powers —what should be the actual number of troops in each ' of our dependencies, varying infinitely in their actions and relations—cannot be properly determined by a com mittee of this house, but is one which must be resolved by the discretion of the executive Government, con versant from time to time with all the considerations by which such a decision is to be governed. Then as to the s eHouselcolonies u m i c Com mons, question of how those troops are to be paid. It is not within the competence nor of thempetenc British eofac Government ommitte , n or o o f f thesetheitf, to determine h what amount of contributions each make ; because we all know that many of them have lads. pendent legislatures, and that any arrangements for divid tghaerrißsorintisshcGouolvderonnmlyenbet an e d ffec e tt b l z • Governments and Legislatures. Such negotiations could not be carried on by a committee of the House of Come mons. Therefore I am bound to say that the tendency of the motion is rather to transfer to a committee of this, negotiationsidivid ing th e ep :e n ; w e e e o n f house duties and functions which properly beleng to the responsible advisers of the Crown. This is my opinion; and I can therefore anticipate no great political result from a committee, if the house affirm that one should be ewnm,cowoitnntoouvlt:ii,desnitizoaaengda agree teotueo soteinduceant 1 ithe gGovernment v t o e r y c o n s lik e e n l y t t t c appointed.

(Laugh. ter.) If the Government in its negotiations with colonial legislatures should be provided with no better arguments to produce an impression on them than those which the right hon. gentleman has endeavoured to use in his negotiations with the Government, I am afraid that neither the Go vernment nor the colonies would make such progress in the distribution of expenses which the right hon. gentleman wishes. (A laugh.) But although undoubtedly Ido not think any good ground has been laid for a committee, and I cannot anticipate any good results from it, yet if it appears to be the general wish of the house, as I have collected that it is in the course of this debate—(ironical cheers)—l have no such strong objection to the motion as to induce the Government to divide the house upon it. At the same time, I repeat that I do not anticipate those advantages from the appointment of a committee that the mover ex pads, because we think that the information necessary for i
