There was an unusually large attendance of peers this evening. The space between the throne and the gal. leries was crowded in eery part by persons anxious to hear thediscussion upoa the question of the life peerages. Lord GLENELG moved that the following questions be put to the Judges i----" Is it in the power of the Crown to create by patent the dignity of a Baron sf the United Kingdom for life 1 What righteited privileges does such a grant confer?" The noble lord, who spoke inaudibly, was understood to say that the subject now under their con sideration W 3 13 one of the most important that could be submitted tr, them ; and it behoved them to weigh well the steps t'aey ought to take is a question which would hereafter be referred to as a great precedent. In all cases involving serious questions of law they did no t think it unbecoming to consult the Judges ; and he could not think, in a question involving the preroga tives o fthe Crown and the constitutional privileges of the", house, they would have any objection to ask the br'inion of those qualified by their legal knowledge and xperience as to the wisdom and propriety of the course 'which they, under the circumstances, thought them selves justified in taking. Those learned lords were the constitutional advisers of the country, and this was a case above all others upon which they ought to be consulted. He for one wanted to know the law, as the suhje et was one which he was afraid he felt it was too seri ous a thing for him to assent to the course proposed lh'y the noble and learned lord opposite—a course which, persevered in, could not be retrieved, but which might involve the house in the most serious consequences. He could not help observing that the noble and learned lord up to that moment had abstained altogether from stating what the law of the land upon the subject really Was. It was no doubt alleged that this exercise of the prerogative of the Crown was opposed to the Parlia ment. Now, even if admitting these allegations to be correct, he thought there was something more to be ageertained, namely, whether the act complained of was legal or not. The noble lord was proceeding to refer to the motion of Lord Lyndhurst, as if it was the report of the Committee of Privileges, when he was interrupted by Lord DERBY, who rose to order. He considered tile noble lord was not justified in commenting upon what might or might not be the report of the committee, before the committee had concluded its deliberations. The proper course, he submitted, would be for the noble lord to allow the house to go into a committee of privileges, and then he could proceed with his comments. - Lord GLENELG submitted he was right in the course he was adopting, in commenting upon a document which was about to be laid upon the table. (Hear.) The difference that existed among the highest legal authorities proved the necessity of proceeding with caution, and to obtain all the advice it wa3 possible to obtain on the sub ject. Amongst other authorities that had been re ferredj to, that of Lord Wenslydale himself had not been alluded to, and he was therefore justified in assuming that he was in favour of the exercise of the prerogative in this instance, or he would not have ac cepted a life peerage. The legal authorities in this house were so nearly balanced that it was absolutely necessary to call for other advice. (Hear.) This was not a party question, and the house was now called on to pronounce aiecisionwhich affected the privi leges of the Crown. The House of Lords had ever been the champions of the monarchy and guardians of the Crown yet now they had prevailed upon themselves to contest the prerogative of the Crown ; and if they went into committee to-night they would commit them- Pelves to contest ; and under these circumstances it was the more necessary that they should arm themselves before they did so with the highest legal ad vice they could obtain on the subject, which, after all, was a question of law, and not of Parliament. [LEFT SPEAKING.j HOUSE OF COMMOITS—(This Evening.) £he SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were severally read a second time and ordered to be committed : Birkenhead Docks, Sittingbourno and Sheerness Railway, and Stotfield and Lossiemonth Harbour Improvement. Sir J. WALMSLEY presented a petition from a working man in Bristol. He had taken the precaution of inquiring into the character of the petitioner before be presented the petition, and he found he was quite trustworthy. The petitioner stated a peti tion was about to be presented to that house against the opening of the Crystal Palace and British Museum on Sundays, and that the signatures thereto were obtained in a most objectionable manner. They consisted of the ' names of infants of tender age, paupers and others who were not free agents, and under those circum,stances be prayed that a remedy might be adopted to meet the evil, which existed to a very great extent. Mr. BAINES presented a petition in favour of the bill for the abolition of local dues upon shipping. Mr. M. GIBSON presented several petitions from Manchester with a Bimilar prayer. THE NERBUDDA. Mr. OTWAY begged to ask a question of the First Lord of the Admiralty of painful interest. There some time ago appeared a report in the public prints of the total loss of the Nerbudda, with 180 souls on board. No official notification of the loss had been made to the public or the relatives of those on board, and he now begged to ask for any information the Government had on the subject Sir C. WOOD said he had not yet received any official information on the subject, and until he had received that information he thought he should not be justified in making any report on the subject until all hope had gone. He was sorry to say there was at present all absence of any information. IRISH BILLS. Sergeant O'BRIEN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Government would agree to post pone till some early day after Easter further proceeding with the Juvenile Offenders (Ireland) Bill, the Burial Grounds (Ireland) Bill, and the Prisons (Ireland) Bill, inasmuch as several of the Irish members would be ab• sent during. the assizes ! Mr. HORSMAN said, with respect to those bills, lie intended to take the second readings pro forrn,a, and postpone their further consideration until after Easter. , COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND. Mr. GROGAN asked this; Secretary to the Treasury whether any and what stew, since tare issuing of the minute of th e 19th &ay , of October, 1855, had been taken by then Government to facili tate and improve the postal and passenger common:cation between, London and Dublin ; whether the hours of departure from, and arrival at, those cities respectively of the maila, acid the time to be employed on the journey, bad been decided on ; whether any tenders for the perfr,reirs nce of that service had been called for by the Goverrraient ; whether any tenders for that service had been vent in to the Government ; and what was the preset At state of negotiations on this subject ! Mr. WILSON s aid that communications with the Chambers of Corny fierce of Belfast and Dublin had taken place with respec' ; to the hours most convenient for the mails to arrive in Ireland. When the answers had been received, tender 1 with those hours mentioned would be sent forth. ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. Mr. PERC' ir asked the Preside n t o f th e P oor -L aw Board whet) ter a report had been presented to the Government on tha state of the St. Pancras or St. Mary lebone Workhouses ; and whether he would lay such report on ? ,he table of the house. Mr. BC 4UVERIE said, that in consequence of reports he had re ,ceived he felt it his duty to appoint an able medical gentleman to inspect the place. He had within the last week or two received that gentleman's report, and, to 'use his own words, the arrangements were hor rible— Jae had sent th a t report to the parish authorities, a " Ki had no doubt they would speedily remedy the 'tat , , o f t hi ngs complained of. He would have no ob. Je '' t min to lay the report on the table of the house. LOCAL DUES UPON SHIPPING. n reply to an HON.. MEMBER, icy . Lord PALMERSTON said he intended to move the Sir F. THESI ;end readin g of o'lls bill on Monday. rl / 4 3: Elt said, such being the case, he 'egged to give n•otiee that, on that day, he should move that the bill ba read a second time that day six months. He asked tho 'aon. member (Nlr. Gibson) if he intended to bring on is motion for the abolition of the abjura. tion ‘ ,.. oa ths Kaat night. 1 -V_. GIBSON said he hoped the house would 5 " -44 ',Jim to introduce his bill without diilcussion. He 111 , 1 " t ask th e h onoura bl e gent l eman if d 11 " 4 " acted w ith hi m, wou ld a ll ow him tohe lay an t those hel nu the tabl e , an d t h e secon d rea di ng on such a day bas ould give th e h ouse an opportun i ty to consider the matter. At the same time he would ask the noble lord at the head of the Government if he had any objection to that course ? Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government could have no objection to the course proposed. (Hear.) Sir F. THESIGER said he thought that would be the most convenient course to be adopted. CONTRACTORS' DISQUALIFICATION BILL. Mr. T. D UNCOMBE gave notice that, on the second reading of the Contractors' Disqualification Bill, he should move its second reading that day six months. EDUCATION. In ans wer t o a quest i on f rom Sir J. PAKINGTON, Lord J. RUSSELL said that he proposed to lay on the tabl e o f t h e house his resolut i on on education on the Gth of March. He should not then ask the house to Come to any conc l us i on on them then, but to adjourn da the ilievueslion to a future day. He hail not entered into a r. - angement with th e Government to give him a Y. but in the event of peace being concluded be knew c ` f .. no questio n o f greater interest than that o f wac ation, and h e h ope d t h e Government would, there tr,re, give hi:a an early day. In AN NEXATIONS IN INDIA. anvwe r to a question from Mr. OTWAY, Mr. VEItNON SMITH said that the state of the kingdom of Onde for the last 50 years had caused much anxiety to the Government and in consequence of represea tations made to the Governor General of India who sent de spstches to the East, India Court of Directior, and the Lord Governmee , alhousie. W they had When discretionary p o we rs t o D the correspondence " ~~k *ll complolo ht vtoula It on tko total, of Oa home. With regard to the feeling of the people of Chide in fa. tour or against the anitextion of Odd° to India he could give no information. The policy of the Government of Oude had been to prevent the free exercise of public feeling. Sir E. PERRY condemned the conduct of Lord Dal housie in India. He thought the answer of the President of the Board of Control to Mr. Otway's question unsa tisfactory. He (Sir E. Perry) wished to be able to deny the assertion that had been made against England of making unjust aggressions in India. Sir J. HOGG defended the conduct of Lord Dalhousie. Mr. J. PHILLIMORE supported Mr. Otway in putting this question to the President of the Board of Control, and characterised the conduct of Lord Dal housie in India as being influenced with a dangerous spirit of aggraadisement in that country. ST. JAMES'S PARK. Sir B. HALL gave notice that on Monday next he should move for a select committee to consider the means of communication at present existing between those parts of the metropolis north of St. James's park and on the south and south-west part thereof, and to report thereon. WAYS AND MEANS. Th• house went into committee on ways and means. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was unable to fellow the usual practice of making statements comparative of the past and present year's expenditure and requirements, owing to the exigencies of war. He should confine his remarks to the require ments of the ensuing financial year. He recalled to their minds the statements he made on 10th April last, in submitting the budget of last year. Last year he stated the requirements of the country, iccludiag the taxation and loans of different sorts at 90,139,0001., and the actual receipts had been 88,539,000/. showing a de ficiency of 1,600,100/. in round numbers. The extra expenditure over the estimates had been 1,960,0001. so that the financial state of the country was worse by 3,560,0001. than he had estimated it. The estimates for the Customs was 22,450,0001., and there had been received 21,600,0001. ; excise, 17,900,0001. ; amount received, 16,860,0001. ; stamps, 6,Bls,oool.—received, 6,930,000/. ; taxes, 2,92o,oool.—received, 2,950,0001. ; property tax, 14,535,0001. received, 14,726,000/. ; post office, I,43B,oool.—reeceivd, 1,140,0001. ; crown lands, 260,0001. ; miscellaneous, 800,0001.—received, 1,100,0001. The decrease in the Customs arose mainly on sugar and coffee ; in that of Excise, from the decroase of duty received for spirits, owing mainly to the high price of grain and provisions. The decrease on stamps, from the removal of the newspaper imiar se cd stamp, had been compensated by the amount that had been received at the post-office for the postage of newspapers.

The evils of the re.areangeoneut of this cobs , patty reaulted he said froet two lualividuals-e•the looorao , tire superintendent and the general manager, and he detailed the heads on which savings might 13'i effected and those where a trilling advance on the present rates would give a considerable increase in the profits. One item of great loss was the free granting of " passes." He was met on that head with the remark, " 06, it was a privilege given to the press." Now, he considered the press was a national institution, and the press above all others should have this privilege ; but he did not believe the loss he complained of arose from the press. It was from the abuse of passes granted to the officials of their own and different lines, and their relatives and friends that he complained of, and he called on the Board of Directors to investigate this subject. Several shareholders addressed the meeting at great length, and ultimately the report of the directors was adopted, and the dividend recommended declared. The vacancies iu the Directory were filled up, and after some further business the meeting separated, after passing a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held this morning at the Euston square station ; Sir H. Verney, Bart., in the chair. The report showed that the rent received from the London and North-Western Company to the 30th June, 1855, and the balance from the former half-year to be 26,478/. Os. 7d., which would give a dividend of 4 per cent., and leave 1,1421. ls. 2d. to be carried to the next half-year. The report was adopted by the meeting, and the divi. dead as above declared. The retiring directors were reelected, and the business terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English wheat up to our market this week, coastwise and by land carriage, have rather in creased ; yet the show of samples in to-day's market was very moderate. For moat kinds there was a fair demand, and Monday's prices were freely supported. With foreign wheat We were fairly supplied. The amount of business doing in most descriptions was limited, nevertheless the quotations were well supported. Barley was in good supply, and moderate request, at full prices. The malt trade was dull, at the late decline. There was less activity in the demand for oats, at late currencies. Beans, peas, and flour sold at Monday's prices. ♦RRIVALB T2llB WEIK. Barley. Malt.

Williams, R.E., regarding Ramsgate Harbour, pre sented to the Board of Trade in January, 1854, it ap pears that the report of the select committee of the House of Commons might be safely carried out—that there would be an ample accumulation of revenue in the interval to form a reserve fund of some 15,0001., to be set apart for incidenbal services or casualties ; that the passing tolls might be abolished at the end of the year 1855—that the expense of maintaining the harbour would not exceed 7,0001. a year, and that the cost of putting the harbour works in repair would certainly not exceed 11,0001., and might possibly not exceed 6,300/. This rPnort, was only ordered to be printed on the 12th utast utIDEIt AND SIIICIDII AT ISLINGTON.—ScarceIy had the excitement caused by the murder in the Neer North road been permitted to subside, whets the most painful sensation was created in Islington and its vicinity by a rumour that a young female, who resided at No. 5, Belinda•cuttages, Canonbury-square, Islington, had murdered her child, by nearly severing its head from the body, and then destroyed herself. It appears that Mary Ann Jarrard, aged 21 years, had for some short time been in the service of Mr. I. E. and Mrs. Wil liams, at the above-mentioned address, and not the slightest surpicien was excited that she was enceinte. On Tuesday evening, according to her usual custom, She went up stairs to dress, but being a much longer time than was considered necessary, she was called by one of the family, who received for answer that she would be down presently ; but not making her ap pearance, another messenger was sent up, who receiv ing no answer, and finding the door fastened, the family became alarmed, and had the door forced open, when a frightful spectacle met the view. A newly born infant, of which she had recently been delivered, was found with its head nearly severed from its body by a jagged gash extending from ear to ear round the back of the neck, and the unfortunate mother lay extended in a pool of blood, apparently lifeless. Mr. Clifton, sur geon, of Cross-street, Islington, was presently in at tendance, and pronounced life to bo extinct in both cases. Information has been forwarded to the coroner, but as yet no time has been fixed for the inquest.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. Meetings This Day. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held this afternoon, at the Euston equare station ; the Marquis of Chandos in the chair. The CHAIRMAN' said the accounts showed a favour able state of the receipts over expenditure during the past year. A diminution of expenditure had also been effected, and a larger SUM than usual had been set aside for maintaining the perma nent way. In future the reports of the directors would he sent round to the shareholders with the statement of the accounts. The chairman then entered into the details mentioned iu the report, and said that with reference to the circumstances of the company the increased traffic erase from the good understanding that existed between them and the Great Western. He had hoped with that agreement there would have been an end to dissensions between them and the other companies. Several of the agreements into which they bad entered into with other companies ex pired within the year, and it was hoped they would have been renewed on the same terms. With regard to the Great Northern, this cone ',any had been unabes to come to a fresh arrangement with it, and things, as they existed in 1351, had again occurred, but he was sanguine an amiceMe arrangement would soon be entered into between the two companies, with the mediation of the North-Eastern, the North British and the Caledonian, and Lancaster and Carlisle Railways, which would put an end to the disputes which at pre-ent existed. After alluding to the enactments of Parliament which had made free trade in railways, and which bad produced so much competition injurious to railway croprietors without a corresponding benefit to the public, he was inclined to believe that Par- _ . liament must see that free trade in railways could only be done at the public expense, and he looked forward to an early alteration of the present system of railway legislation. He adverted to the arrangements that had been made with tho Midland Company and the Great Northern Railway, but which had now ceased ; and explained the nature of the payments that had been made to each of them, which, in the end, had been a saving to this company, by giving them an increased a nount of receipts on the passenger traffie ' from their not having to provide rolli ng s t oo k w ith which to con• vey their own passengers. The SECRETARY then read the report, which showed the net proceeds for the half-year to be 890,232/. 124. 11d., to which was to be added 6,9501. ls. 61., the balance from the last year, making a total of 697.1821. l le. sd. ; from this was to be deducted for further allow. ance for renewal of rails 56,666/. 14s. 4d., leaving a die. po?able balance of 640,5161. le. ld. for dividend. The directors recommended a dividend of 51 per cent. per annum for the last six months, leaving a balance of 45,5111. 1-le. ld. to be oarried over to the next half year. _ _ _ The Marquis of CHANDOS moved the reception and adoption of the report. _ gr. BENSON (deputy-chairman) seconded the motion. The Right Hon. J. PARKER urged on the meeting the necessity of their making some general movement for the improvement of their property, or their stock would altogether disappear under the present mode of management. He referred to a letter he had published on the state of the eorapany's affairs, and also to the re• poet of the late committee of investigation, impressing on the meeting the necessity of their enforcing the carry- ing out of the — sound and Useful reforms that that com mittee had recommended, _ HADFIELD, M.P., said he was confident if this line had been properly managed the shareholders would be reeeiving 7 per cent. interest. 200,0001. a-year might be saved in the management of the company. He ccndemued the directors borrowing money at enormous interest, and said that if the money market had been properly watched, from 75,0001. to 100,0001. a year might have been saved in this department, and h• hoped that when the money market became easy, and was re stored to its proper quiet state, advantage would be taken of it by the directors, in order to reduce the amount to be paid for interest. He entered into the details of exper e relative to the working of the line, in each of which a saving might be effected. The law of poor rates as it affected railway property was unjust, and during the past year 30,853/. poor rates had been unjustly paid. Mr. .MeLniNs, who had give notice of a resolution, re lative to the dispute between this line and the Great Northern and Midland Companies, said that, in consequence of the Chairman's statement that there was a probability of an amicable arrangement being come to between them, he should not propose it to the meeting. lie contended that, before this unseemly competition had been entered on, this company should have consulted the feelings of the shareholders. He hoped that when the terms of peace came under consideration there would be n• reservation on either side. He implored the board to give the recommendation of the Committee of Consultation their earnest and anxious consideration. Ile thought the profit from passenger traffic was lost i❑ the goods traffic, Id. a mile per ton for goods being much too small a rate.
