" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuah_ contribution, both to the ;general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is afeed far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing lid. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 his. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

But he was also inclined to suppose that no such scheme was in view, from the assurance given by—he did not know whether he might yet call him the noble earl whom they might shortly expect to have the honour and satisfaction of seeing in that house, and whom all their lordships on both sides, he was sure, would be glad to see amongst them. (Cheers.) That noble lord had expressed his opinion very candidly that there was no use in bringing forward a mea sure of reform unless there was a strong feeling in favour of it on the part of the public, and he represented very cor rectly that there was no such feeling in the country, and therefore that there was no such temptation held out, He (the Earl of Derby), formed the conclusion also, not only from what the noble lord had said but from what he had done ; for the noble lord had selected that precise moment, he supposed like another Astraea, disgusted with the follies and iniquities of the lower world, to leave it, and was about to rise to a higher, calmer, and, he (Lord Derby) hoped, a purer atmosphere. (Laughter.) And he could not wonder that the noble lord, who had devoted so many years and so much attention to pulling down and building up the edifice, should be glad to take the opportunity of finishing his work at once by filling up the gaps which had so long de formed its beauty by giving the vacant seats to the West Riding, South Lancashire; and Birkenhead. Of those places he supposed it might be said that— Extrema per illos Justitia, excedens terris, vestigia fecit. As the bill at present stood he had no objection to offer to it, and he had no doubt it would give very general satisfac tion. Certain alterations he believed would be needed, first of all to make it English and next to make it sense— (a laugh) —and they should be made in committee. Seriously, how ever, he did hope that whatever might be the ulterior views and ulterior wishes of her Majesty's Government, they had paused on the subject of Parliamentary reform in the course they had been pursuing, and that the last few years would be a warning to the present and all future Governments not to bring forward promises too hastily, nor to pledge the name of the sovereign to the introduction of any measure which they did not seriously think they should be able to carry. Certainly in 1858 he (Lord Derby) had thought himself bound earnestly and sincerely to apply himself to the introduction of a measure which he hoped would have given satisfaction to moderate men ; but that attempt had not met with the success he had anticipated. Her Majesty's Government, no doubt with equal earnestness and sincerity, had also applied themselves to the task, and they had equally failed. He ti usted, therefore, that after the failure of successive measures, introduced by successive Governments, it was now clear that no one was under any pledge to deal with the subject ; but that it was one which must be left to the dis cretion of each Government to introduce or not as they thought best, and that no one would be open to any reproach for abstaining from an attempt to dispose of so difficult and delicate a question. (Cheers ) Earl GRANVILLE entirely agreed with the noble earl that it was not desirable to refer the bill to a select commit tee. The other house had always objected to adopt such a course with regard to any measure affecting the constitution, and though this house was no doubt bound to oppose any measure affecting the composition of that assembly, if it seemed to their lordships to be contrary to right principle, their lordships would otherwise beinaturally disposed to re ceive from the other house the proposition which it thought best for filling up the number of its members. Unless, therefore, the object of the amendment was to procure the rejection of the bill altogether, it was not likely that any useful result would accrue from referring it to a select com mittee ; and he trusted that his noble friend would with draw his proposal. It was very agreeable to her Majesty's Government to receive the approbation of the noble lord, and it at least proved them to have been actuated in this matter by no party motives or intentions. With regard to the changes which had been made in the bill in the other house, he must say that they were not after all of a very grave character, for they merely transferred to the West Riding the seat proposed to be given to Chelsea and Kensing ton. If he had known that the noble earl intended to make so pointed an allusion to Lord J. Russell, he should have been tempted to postpone the bill once more till to-morrow, when he trusted he should have the honour to lead his right hon. friend into their lordships' house, where he expected he would receive that welcome which was never refused to men that were eminent in any line of life, and that was most cer tainly due to one who had played so great a part in the di rection of the affairs of this country, and whose public repu tation was combined with so singularly high-minded a pri vate character. The noble earl reproached not only the Go vernment, but his own and some preceding Governments, for having introduced reform bills which did not prove success ful. He entirely concurred with the noble earl that nothing could be more unfortunate than lightly to introduce mea sures of reform without a reasonable hope and expectation of being able to carry them. In saying that, however, he was strongly opposed to any notion of finality; and he was far from thinking that it would be impossible to improve the constitution of the country, or that the franchise might not from time to time be most reasonably and justly extended amongst the working classes of the community. Still he believed that it would be rash for any Government before hand, and without reviewing all the circumstances of the case, to pledge themselves to a reform bill without having some probable means of carrying it into law. (Hear, hear.) Their lordships then went into committee. Lord STRATHEDEN moved to omit clause 1, but Their lordships negatived the motion without debate or division. On clause 5, The Earl of DERBY said he had the greatest respect for the present Speaker of the House of Commons, whom he had known for 50 years. Thirty-five years ago he had tra velled with him, and the right hon. gentleman bad subse quently been a member of a small but select party of politi cians who had been known as " the Derby Dilly." (Laugh ter.) At the same time the clause left too much to the right hon. gentleman's discretion, for it male it optional with him to withhold the writ till before the next general elec. tion, which was exactly the time when it was most desirable that it should not be issued, He begged to propose, there fore, that the clause should be made to run so that it should be incumbent on the Speaker to issue the writ a 3 soon as might be after the passing of the bill. This amendment was agreed to, and the rest of the clauses were also passed, with a few verbal amendments. The Enlistment in India Bill was read a second time. The Tramways (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. MUNICIPAL CORPORATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to give pre cedence to the mayor at all meetings of the borough justices. Lord WENSLEYDALE opposed the bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day three months. Earl GRANVILLE supported the bill, which was op posed on the ground that it would creato ill feeling amongst the borough justices. The Earl of DERBY intimated that on a future day he should oppose the clause giving precedence to the mayor. Upon a division the motion for the second reading was carried by a majority of 44 to 27. The East India Civil Service Bill was read a third time. The Irremovable Poor Bill and the Crown Suits Limita tion Bill were severally read a third time and passed. REMOVAL OF IRISH POOR BILL. Earl St. GERMANS, in moving the second reading of this bill, said its object was to mitigate hardships which it was impossible altogether to prevent. It did not seek in any way to alter or amend the law, but simply to regulate the mode in which persons becoming chargeable upon Eng lish parishes should be removable to Ireland, His proposal was based upon the reports of committees which sat in 1855, 1358, and 1859, and to show that this was a favourable time for diminishing the facilities for the removal of the Irish poor, ho stated that whereas in 1850 there were no fewer than 77,000 Irish persons landed at Liverpool who were ap parently paupers, there were last year only 21 persons of that description landed. Lord REDESDALE did not oppose the principle of the bill, but thought the details would require consideration in committee. The bill was then read a second time. INDEMNITY BILL. This bill also passed a second reading.. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. The reasons of the Lords for insisting upon certain o: their amendments to this bill were laid upon the table. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to 10 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS--YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed Caledonian Railway (Cleland, Ste. Branches) ; Caledonian Railway (Stonehouse Branch) ; Forth and Clyde Junction R3.ilway; Savile Estato ; Westminster Life Insurance Society (Dissolution) ; West of Fife Mineral Railway and Charleston Railway and Harbour Companies. RATING OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. Captain JERVI S asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what were the rules which had been laid down at the Home-office with respect to recommending, or otherwise, commuted allowances towards the payment of rates for Government property in certain parishes P Sir G. C. LEWIS said there was no exact proportion j/~ ON, and that the democratic party in the State would applaud the house if they rejected it. Is the Government engaged per fax et nefas to advance it ? It is by a course of Minis terial defeats that it has gained the form in which it reaches us. Are the Opposition deeply and irrevocably pledged to it ? In the other House of Parliament the Opposition have declared themselves in favour of anther project. But is the public bent upon obtaining it ? :le most distinguished organ of the general opinion three times advised the Go vernment in a friendly spirit to renoence it. Never was a bill, therefore, which came more thoroughly within the prohibitory spirit of the standing order, or which it was less essential to set at nought by proceeding with it. If there fore you view the motion to refer the bill to a select com mittee as a motion to reject it, on these grounds it is legi • timate to do so. But if the motion is regarded as a motion for inquiry, it is far more easy to defend it. For as regards the present bill, one thing must be admitted, namely, that the onus probandi falls not on its opponents but its advocates. To increase the House of Commons by four members, so far as the mere numerical addition goes, by 01 conversant with the subject is regarded as an evil. The excess of numbers may disturb and compromise poli tical assemblies as well as the privation of them. In the House of Lords the evils which result from the want of numbers have been frequently ;referred to. In the House of Commons the reverse of the picture is displayed. It is usually admitted that before the Irish Union swelled it by a hundred the assembly was more adapted to the purposes of business than it is at present. The room in which the house meets will not accommodate six hundred. And unless night by night for at least three hours the usages of Parliament reduced the number present to a small proportion of the whole, it would be impossible to go through the clauses of the bills 3nel through the items of the estimates. No kind of ParlitiMehtary or public incon venience has resulted_ from the want of the four members. It has been convincingly explained that 658 was not a con stitutional, but accidental number. It was only upon Irish' grounds that the House of Commons was ever car ried to - that limit ; and it is not on Irish grounds that this bill can be supported. The questions must therefore force themselves upon us— Cul bone is the bill brought for ward ?—what end does it attain I—what advantage does it furnish ?—what complication does it remedy ?—what popular demand does it 'Assuage ?—what interest requires it? And if these questions have not been answered in debate, the select committee might dispose of them. Another ground for the inquiry would occur from the number of interests and claims to be adjusted. Salford, Burnley, Middlesex, and Kensington, the Inns of Law, and Scottish Universities, the London University have all pursued the gift to be distributed. In 18.52, in 1854, in 1859, in 1860, and at Present, Government have offered different modes of dealing with these vacancies. It is therefore clear that no strong or general conviction has been formed as to the proper manner of disposing of them. And while this is so the claims which it is not proposed to satisfy may fairly ask inquiry from the legislature before that doom is finally pronounced. But such inquiry may e and se s a u ts p are unappro be asked upon a ground far more imperial and general. deal by and bye with erior to, those printed, rhi havene t p e u d d c evhear havest e a d c . l t a i i ns m o o d ul i osrtni power o c N t av s t e r r o t ht m oe s , one of the most fatal and notorious defects of the Reform Act. And if you fill them uP as it is proposed, you lose your chance of doing so. What is the defect which I refer to ? The Reform Acthas no doubt succeeded in ex pressing the opinions of the country. It has succeeded in forming an assembly equal in intelligence and station to the work which comes before it. Bilt it has not succeeded in the third great function it aspired to,the function of returning to the House of Commons all those who havng sat there, ought to have a seat in it according to the judgtient of the public and of Parliament. It ca n only discharge this function when you have, as before 1832 you had, a ccrrective power in the State to do what the country wishes to be done, when the general election happens not to do it. By the judicious use of these, four seats you might perhaps arrive at such a power; but if you rashly part with them, when no kind of popular demand asks you so to do, yet will not arrive at it except by increasing the numbere of the House of Com mons beyond 658, and this would scarcely ever be regarded as admissible. But as regards the proposition that the general elections since 1832 have fallen short of one result they were intended to accomplish, it is easy to establish it by referring to a series of distinguished men who since that epoch have, for longer or shorter times, been thrown out of Parliament, while not one could be considered as excluded by the wishes of the country. Sir William Molesworth, Lord Macaulay, and Sir Edward Lytton are sufficient illustrations. They suffice at least to prove that be a man connected with the Radicals, the Whigs, or the Conservatives, the suppert and admiration of the country are no security for constant access to the Legislature in which he has attained them. They suffice to show that public life is unhappily distinguished from every other line of effort by the perpetual risk of arbitrary exile. It was not possible at such a time to explain how that great anomaly existed, or to what political calamities it tended. But in order to remove it, it was only necessary that the public should have some means, after a general e l ec tion, of giving force to its opinion. We all know that if it had these means, neither Sir William Molesworth, Lord Macaulay-, Sir E. Lytton, Lord Carlisle, or Mr. Cobden would have been for years condemned to all the evils of inaction. Whatever plan you might adopt—and some have been suggested—it would naturally occupy the space afforded by these vacancies. If lam asked by what arrangement you could remedy the evil, I answer a select committte is the agency to which atone a q uestion so new and delicate and grav e could be confided. And I express a firm belief that a select committee of the house would be a body liffeutiequal to contend with the difficulty of the problem 4. Y: But inasmuch as no select committee can ap proachthe problem for the present, I will revert but only for a moment to the question, ought the bill to be pro ceeded With. It requires much consideration to de • tide how far it is expedient to transfer power, as the bill does, from the southern to the northern portion of the king dom ; to give, as it does, to counties vacancies arising from disfranchisement of town, and to convert, as it does, seats which were open to the mass of politicians to seats which are only open to persons locally connected with them. But such grave consideration it is not in the power of the house to grant to all these topics. And it should never be forgotten that the gratitude the measure will excite bears no proportion to the discontent it will occasion. It is allowed that in the West Riding no strong opinion has been formed as to the advantage .of dividing that constituency. There has been no apparent movement in South Lancashire in favour of the gift to be conceded to it. But the Scottish Univer sitiespsometimesmeasure.en aed. iTui indispensable si o np n only n y o sf consolation afbalcet will receive a blow and disappointment from the to otoioffend you n d th t obnoxious off interestte o r t t o h be yinterest s ta ßurnley, nd . Kensington, and Salford, is to keep the vacancies sus- Which calls out for change in the Reform Act. It may be . (jug still, but it appears to be the height of folly to e • offend it by legislation which wants at once the sanction of the Government and the approbation of the public. If a general and comprehensive measure of Reform is by-and bye presented, the scheme is utterly uncalled for. If it is resolved to act by isolated measures, that policy will not be happily inaugurated by a bill which overlooks a problem entitled to the care of statesmen, and which, from many of its features, may be made use of at a future time to create among the body of the people the passions that are most essential to control and anticipate. On these grounds the noble lord moved that the bill be referred to a select com mittee. The Earl of DERBY said he hoped he might assume it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to accede to the suggestion of the noble baron who had just sat down, that this bill should be referred to a select committee, which would probably report about the middle of August. (Alaugh.) He could not recollect any bill for which there appeared to be less reason that it should be referred to a select commit tee than this. The facts were did lain and undisputed, and there were no very complicate tails to be discussed. It was a bill of a very plain and straightforward character, which he thought perfectly well capable of being discussed in a committee of their lordships' house. He had no fault to find with the bill, whichhe thought had been greatly improved in its progress through the House of Commons by the manipu lation it had undergone, and which the Government appeared to have submitted to with the most exemplary patience, The measure of the Government of which he was a member in 1852 was rejected mainly by the influence of the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who until a s hort time ago was supposed to be on e o f th e mos t promi nent candidates for one of the seats proposed to be created by the present bill. They proposed by the bill of 1852 to confer two seats on the West Riding and two on South Lan cashire. He had always entertained a very strong preference for two seats instead of three for counties. But until now Birkenhead had not risen to the importance it had since at tained, and he could not blame her Majesty's Government for having selected this town for one of the vacant seats. If, indeed, it were in the contemplation of the Government to introduce any very large and extensive plan of Parlia mentary reform, he should have thought they were acting most unwisely in hampering themselves by the introduction of this smaller measure. He should then certainly have thought there was somereason in the complaint of the noble lord, that by passing this measure they were prevented from giving due consideration to the claims of other places by passing a general measure of reform. In the bill of the Go vernment with which he (Earl of Derby) was connected, not only were these seats provided for, but provision was made for all those places also which the noble lord had enu merated, the London University, the Scotch Universities, and Chelsea and Kensington—only that they were provided for in a different mode, by subdividing the county constitu ency; and he thought the principal claims to representation were satisfied. It was not the pleasure of the Liberal party CRYSTAL PALACE.— GRISI FAREWELL FESTIVAL. The Directors of the Crystal Palace have the pleasure to announce that they have made arrangements to give A GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL ba honour of THE FAREWELL OF MADAME GRISI. This Festival will take place TO-MORROW (Wednes day), July 31. It has probably never before fallen to the lot of any can didate for public favour to sustain for twenty-nine succes sive seasons the highest and most arduous characters of the men lyric drama and certainl never with such unanimous com dations , y as have been unceasingly bestowed on Madame Grisi. The Directors are convinced that not only will the higher classes, who have been the most frequent witnesses of Madame Grisi's artistic triumphs, participate in their sen timents on this occasion, but they feel sure that the rstire ment of that lady will cause one general feeling of deep regret to all the lovers of music of this country. In organising, therefore, this Farewell Festival, arrange ments have been made to impart to it the character of a popular ovation. The holders of both classes of Season Tickets will be admitted to the Festival without charge, while, at the same time, the price of admission to the public in gener 4 is placed at such a moderate sum as will, in all probability, ensure an immense assemblage to bid Farewell to the great Prima Donna. The following celebrated Artistes will appear on this oc casion : Mdme. PENCO, Mime. RUDERSDORFF, Mdme. DIDIEE, Mdme. TIBERINI; Signor MARIO, Signor TIBERINI, Signor RONCONI, Signor GR AZIANI, M. ZELGER, Signor TAGLIAFICO, Signor NERI-BARALDI, Monsieur FAURE, Signor TAMBERLIK, and Madame GRIST, Who will sing some of her most popular music. Conductor, Mr. COSTA, who has most kindly undertaken to conduct on this occa sion. The Orchestra will comprise the entire band of the Italian Opera and that of the Crystal Palace Company, the Chorus of the Royal Italian Opera, the additional Choristers engaged in Rossini's " Guillaume Tell," with a careful selection of Chorat Amateurs from the Sacred Harmonic Society, Exeter Hall, the whole forming an effective Ope ratic Orchestra of the unusual extent of Three Hundred Performers. The performance will take place in the Centre Transept on the front portion of the Great Handel Orchestra, which will be so enclosed as to secure the bat acoustic effects. The Programme may be had on application at the Agents' and Ticket Offices. PRICES OF TICKETS. In the desire to fix. such a rate as still ensure a large attendance, the price of admission is fixed at gaff-a-Crown. Reserved Stalls in front of the Orchestra, similar to Blocks C and G at the Handel Festival, will be issued at Five Shillings each. Reserved Seats unnumbered, around the above seats, at Half-a-Crown. Stalls in the Corner Galleries, Five Shillings each. The Ticket Offices at the Crystal Palace ; at the Box office of the Royal Italian Opera ; the usual Agents of the Company and the Opera; and the office at No. 2, Exeter Hall, are now supplied with tickets for sale.

THE ORWELL. The Earl of MALMESBURY asked the noble earl the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs if he could inform him what instructions had been sent to Sir J. Hudson relative to the seizure of the Orwell by the GaribaldianVolunteers? Lord WODEHOUSE said one letter had been received from Sir J. Hudson on the subject of the compensation for the seizure of the vessel ; but the noble lord was under stood to say negotiations were still going on. THE COURTS OF JUSTICE BILL. A discussion took place on this bill. The Earl of DERBY said he hoped their lordships would not pledge themselves to choosing tke site for the new courts of law till they were quite certain the plan would be carried out. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, before any active steps were taken in this matter, two things would have to be done in the next session of Parliament. The first was the money would have to be voted ; and if that money was tio be taken out of the suitors' fund, that would also have to be dealt with by Parliament. The subject then dropped. APPROPRIATION OF SEATS (SUDBURY AND ST. ALBANS) BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved that their lordship.s go into com mittee on this bill, which proposed to appropriate the seats in the following manner :—One to South Lancashire, two to the West Riding of Yorkshire, and one to Birken- head. Lord STRATHEDEN said, I move that the b ill' be referred to a select committee. I regret that I .e,ltnn? catch the arguments of the noble earl who has ji ; u4 M i t down, but I would remind their lordship s that the' sip porters of the Government, and indeed the Government itself, are not in any way committed to this measure. The motion for referring the bill to a select committee may be viewed either as intended simply to arrest it, or as implying that its details are in want of such an agency to sift them. In both these lights it is defensible. If viewed in the first light the lateness of the session is not an argument against it, but an argument inlfavour of it. The lateness of the session would prevent a select committee from reporting. But the lateness of the session renders the committee of the whole house utterly inoperative. In point of fact it is un warrantable to proceed with such a bill at such a moment. The standing order of the house year by year has given a formal voice to the legitimate opinion that, after July 25th, measures ought not to proceed without reasons urgent and exceptional, and such as, in this case, are well known to be wanting. It is true that it was read a second time on the 19th. But it was read pro forma only. It now comes be fore us for the first time to be discussed, If the opinion which used to be embodied in the standing order, and which still prevails, although from temporary circumstances it has not this year been embodied in it—arrested ordinary bills, how much more ought it to arrest a plan which, as it alters the Reform Act, must influence the dignity, prosperity, and future legislation of the country. It is unjust to ask noble lords who, from February last, have pa.. tiently attended the business of the house, to compro mise their health, to waste their powers, and even sacrifice their duties, by remaining in town a day after July is ended. And yet unless the bill is hurried, against all de cency and precedent, the day after it is first discussed into a law, it must run into August. What is the result? That, to the loss of the community, and to the injury of the house itself, it goes, without consideration and discussion, to the statute-book. For who can venture to discuss it? If any one, a year ago, had given notice to submit the question to the house, of hope these seats should be appropriated; if long before that time he had formed opinions on the subject ; if he saw the present bill to be impolitic, and felt an obligation to examine it, in what position would he stand ? He would have to choose between the fatal evil of addressing an impatient house and the yet more serious calamity of allowing what he saw to be a legislative error pass unexposed and un questioned to the statute-book. Although no member of the house would shrink from any task which duty urges on him , the Government are not entitl e d t o p l ace men in such a difficulty unless necessity controls them. But does it in this instance? In the other House of Parliament the bill was read a second time on the 25th February. It went into committee on the 11th June. Was such an in terval inevitable ? It reaches, this house on July the 11th, and now, upon the 29th, we are beginning to debate it. Was that interval inevitable. But, setting that aside, is this bill forced on at this late period by some popular opinion it would n't be prudent to resist or disappoint ? It is well k no wn that it has not any popular opinion to support it, STAMPED .....sd. fixed on for the rating of Government property, but it bore its fair proportion. COMMITTAL OF THOMAS CARTEL Mr. H. LEWIS asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department,whether his attention had been called to the case of Thomas Carter, who was, on Monday the 15th day of July, brought before Thomas Thorpe Fowke and Le Marchant Thomas, Esq., at the Ryde Police-court, charged with being a vagrant and sleeping in the open air at Oakfield, and who was committed by those magistrates to Winchester gaol for three weeks, and ordered to be kept to hard labour for that period ; and if so, whether he had given, or intended to give, orders for his immediate re- lease Sir G. C. LEWIS said that a letter was written to the committing magistrate requesting Lim to furnish the Ho hat with a report of the proceedings in this case, but that request had not been complied with. He had been written to a second time, but with the same result ; and ke (Sir G. C. Lewis) had directed that he should be written to a third time THE GALWAY CONTRACT. In reply to Mr. GREGORY, Lord PALMERSTON said that, as members were aware, the contract with the Galway Company was at an end. The report of the committee which sat on this subject was in the hands of hon. members, but he believed the evidence before the committee had not yet been printed, and until her Ma jesty's Government had considered the evidence, as well as the report, he could not state what would be their intention. As he had stated before, it would be more desirable for commercial intersts that the most direct communication should be , provi ded with Newfoundland, and Ireland nem sarilY was the part of the United Kingdom which was the most eligible for that purpose. The only question for consideration was what point in that country should be selected, but as Galway was the most central place in regard to railway communication, it might pro bably be considered the most desirable for the object in question. LOAN FOR THE UNITED STATES. Mr. GREGORY asked the First Lord of the Treasury if it was true that the loan for the purposes of the United States Government was being raised on the Stock Ex change? Lord PALMERSTON said that he was not cognisant of any such proceeding as that alluded to. THE NEW FOREST REGULATION BILL. Sir F. KELLY asked the Chief Commissioner of Works (in the absence of the Secretary of State for the Home De partment), whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to proceed during the present session with the bill for the better regulation of the New Forest? Mr. PEEL said it was not intended to proceed with this bill. CONSOLIDATION FUND APPROPRIATION BILL On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Lord R. MONTAGU moved that the bill be not read a second time until it had been printed and in the hands of members. Alter some remarks from Mr. Williams, Mr. Henley, and General Peel, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the dif ficulty of placingthe 600 copies of the bill in the hands of hon. members was not the matter of expense, but arose from the impossibility of printing that number of copies Beim enough to allow competent time fcr hon. members to consider the figures without lengthening the session. He thought the noble lord should not press his motion at present, but it might be brought forward with benefit to the public service on a future occasion. Mr. 5. ESTCOURT considered that a week or a fort night should intervene between the passing of the last vote in supply, and the second reading of the Appropriation Sir G. BOWYER said that the practice with reference to other bills was not to read them a second time until they had been printed, and he did not see why they should de part from that course in reference to this particular bill. He had just seen the printed form of this bill, and nothing could be more. informal. It had been seen that it was merely a proof, but he thought it was the duty of the Go vernment not to persevere in so irregular a course in re spect to this bill for the future. Mr. HENNESSY said that there were no names on the back of the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that Mr. Massey and himself (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) brought in the bill. Mr. BAILLIE said unless the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer -would give some assurance that the course would not be persevered in, he trusted his noble friend (Lord R. Montague) would not withdraw his motion. Sir C. WOOD said that the hon. member might be de sirous to protract the session for a fortnight or perhaps longer, by objecting to a practice which had not been previously impugned. He believed. however, the hon. member would be rather solitary in his desire to protract the present session. (Laughter.) Sir G. C. LEWIS said that this bill was merely to give legal effect to the votes of supply that had already been granted, and the course pursued was in accordance with Parliamentary practice. Mr. AYRTON considered that the noble lord (Lord R. Montague) had done much service in bringing the subject forward, and condemned the Government for not bringing on the votes in supply at an earlier period of the session, so as to ensure them an ampler consideration than they at present received. However, they could not take a retro spective view, and he would not advise the noble lord to press his motion at present, but hoped he would bring it forward at an early period of next session. Lord PALMERSTON said it was most unjust of inde pendent members to blame the Government for not bring ing on the votes of supply at an earlier period of the ses sion, when they were prevented doing so by hon. members availing themselves of the privilege to bring before the house a variety of topics on the motion forigoing into committee of supply, which necessarily delayed the progress of the esti mates. The Appropriation Bill was a merely formal mea sure, and the house was not empowered to reject any of the clauses it contained. Mr. HENLEY dissented from the dictum of the Prime Minister, and believed the members had the power to make alterations in any bill brought before the house. He trusted that a different course would be pursued in respect to the bill next session. Lord PALMERSTON explained that what he intended to convey was not that hon. members had not any right to reject or alter any but that by rejecting this bill they would be rescinding the votes they had previously granted. The motion was negatived without a division, and the bill was read a second time. EAST INDIA DOAN (No. 2) BILL. This bill was read a second time. MILITIA PAY BILL. This bill was read a second time. MILITIA BALLOTS SUSPENSION BILL . This bill was read a second time. EAST INDIA COUNCIL, &c., BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. DRAINAGE OF LAND BILL.

WILLS AND DOMICILE OF BRITISH SUBJECTS ABROAD, &c., BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENEEAL in moving that the house go into committee on this bill said that the object of the measure was to settle the law of domicile, which was at present in a very unsatisfactory condition. It was pro posed by this bill that no British subject should be consi dered a domiciled subject in a foreign country unless he had been resident there twelve months, and he had so signified his intention of becom'ng a resident in that country. Sir F. KELLY said he had listened with great surprise to the speech of his hon. and learned friend the Attorney- General. He did not understand him to deny that the state of the law on the subject of wills made in foreign countries was not open to great objection. Having recapitulated the previous attempts which had been made to legislate in this direction, he stated that the bill whic h he was now ca l d on to withdraw had been introduce d b y Lord Singsdone and had passed the House of Lords, with the entirei _ appro bation of the Ministers of the Crown in that house.this.Bythe law The g r i e vance which he sought to wasremeeduyn as it was supposed to exi st in this country, it existed in every oth er country, a te testator, was ry m' an d c ertainly as made in any coun try according to the laws of the will r the cof court of delegates, valid. Some 30 Sears ago, however , se and morci re fect tribunal, decided otherwi , a most imperfect d that wherever a person had ac eently it had been decide t a will made not in domicile in a foreign country quired a f that country was v oid. T he aceordanc© with the laws o consequenc e was tha t a man might make his will i:a Eng land, and 'file died subsequently whilst travelling abroad, • that will was dec lared to be void if a jury should think that ho had acquired a foreign domicile. After some further observations on the legal aspects of the question, the hon. and learned member concluded by pressing upon the house the importance of the bill, the object of which was to obtain a satisfactory settlement of the matter. Sir G. BOWYER moved that the bill be committed that day three months. Mr. HENNESSY seconded the motion.. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that this bill and the next cn the paper—the Wills of Personalty by British Subjects Bill—were not inconsistent with each other, and that there was nothing to prevent the house passing both. The present bill would be of great advantage, if foreign nations would co-operate with thi s coun t r y, and enter into the conventions whichit contemplated. Undoubtedly, if 2s ~~. ~ :~ ~ e ~~ a . Mr. ROLT did not think it was probable that foreign countries would enter into the proposed conventions, as our law of domicile differed so greatly, in many instances, from theirs. For himself, he saw no reason why a bill on the subject might not be passed without any reference to con ventions. (Hear.) Lord P ALMERSTON said the hen. and learned mem ber for Wallingford proposed to withdraw his opposition to this bill provided that the other bills were allowed to pass. He (Lord Palmerston) thought they might accept that offer so far as the present stage went, allow both bills to go through committee, and when they got out of committee it would be for the house to determine what they would do. Sir F. KELLY and Sir G. BOWYER acceded to this pro posal. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the house went into committee. After a few observations from Sir G. Bowyer, the At.. torney-General, and Sir F. Kelly respectively, the first clause was agreed to, as were also the remaining clauses, and the house resumed. WILLS OF PERSONALTY OF BRITISH SUB- JECTS ABROAD, &c., BILL. On the motion of Sir F. KELLY, the house went into committee on this bill. After.some discussion, in which Lord Palmerston, Sir G. Bowyer, Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Bovill, and the Attorney- General took part, the clauses were agreed to, and the bill passed through committee. PROSECUTIONS EXPENSES BILL. On the order of the day for the adjourned debate on this bill, Sir G. C. LEWIS said this bill was introduced to satisfy the northern counties, but it did not satisfy them, and amendments had been proposed which would alter the bill materially. He moved that the order be discharged. The order was discharged accordingly. CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill passep through committee. COUNTY SURVEYORS, &c., IRELAND BILL.

Mr. VILLIERS, in moving the second reading of this bill, said it was intended to authorise overseers of the poor to build or pay the rent of cifices out of the poor rate in opulous places. The bill was read a second time. LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPLEMENTAL (No. 2) BILL. This bill was read a second time. OFFICERS OF RESERVE (ROYAL NAVY) BILL, Lord C. PAGET said that the intention of this bill was to bring officers of the merchant service into the Royal navy, and enroll them as officers of the Royal navy reserve under certain conditions and stipulations, in pursuance of a desire frequently expressed by them. The, bill provided a variety of regulations under which their admission would take place as captains, or comman ers, or captains of small vessels, after sufficient assurances had been taken of their competency to undertake the duties that would be imposed upon them. The wishes of the merchant navy officers, as expressed at a meeting which they had held in the city, had been earefully considered, and the bill had undergone cor responding modifications. As far as he knew, the regula tions will now be regarded as perfectly satisfactory, and indeed there was only one difficulty and that was with re gard td rank. On that point, however, the rule could not be departed from, that officers of the navy must take prece i deuce of the corresponding rank in the reserve, The lieu tenants would rank with the lieutenants of the navy, and of that they need not be ashamed. There would, he was per suaded be no clashing between the two parts of the service, and in the event of war, an important accession of strength would accrue to the navy. They proposed to make youffg merchant officers go through a course of gun-drill on join ing. They desired also that gun-drill might be established on board the merchant ships themselves, so that on joining the officers might bring their men with them, in many in stances, ready trained, and in that way they hoped to get a very powerful reserve. At Liverpool there was now a naval establishment, where 100 young gentlemen of high respec tability were being prepared for the naval service. Net only were they instructed in astronomy and navigation, but also in gun-drill, and he believed they were quite equal to the cadets of the naval school at Portsmouth. The moment those young men came into the service they would be able to perform the duties of officers of ships of war. Such an institution ought to be, and was encouraged by the Admiralty. He hoped that, by this bill, the old antagonism that had divided the Royal _,Navy and the merchant service would be broken through, and he had every confidence that the officers who would - thus be added to the navy would distinguish themselves as 1 ---- r many had done before them who had been in the merchant service. Admiral WALCOTT, while giving all credit to the noble lord for the motives and objects which had induced him to bring in this bill, objected to it that it could not be relied upon as a means of strengthening the staff of officers of the navy at the moment of the outbreak of a war, or in any sudden emergency. The naval officer entered the service in early life, and had to undergo the most arduous training to entitle him to promotion. He had to serve in all climates, away from his family and friends. The officers of the mer cantile navy were placed in far more independent positions, had less dangers and fatiguing service abroad, and a better chance of pecuniary success. If, then, in the case of a war, these latter were to be placed as lieutenants in the navy, what was to become of masters in the navy, whose promo tion would thereby be stopped ? Mr. A. SMITH said he hoped that this bill would not be 'proceeded with. We had already an enormous establishment of various grades, and what was wanted for the Royal Navy was not so much officers as men. The number on the active list of captains, commanders, and lieutenants, amounted to 1,869, and he saw no reason why they should take the less efficient officers of the mercantile s.v' • e. Besides this , the y had the officers on the reserve list, ei Which made a total of nearly 3,000 officers. If they compared these numbers with the number of officers in th e French navy, it would be found that we had quite a sufficient supply of officers to meet the contingency of a war without having recourse to this new naval reserve. It appeared that these officers of the Royal naval reserve were not to live on board during the month's period of drill. The hon. member proceeded to point out further objections he entertained to the bill, and said he never knew of a scheme i which promised less chance of success. He then referred to various portions of the document which was addressed to Lord Hardwicke, upon which this scheme was founded. Ho was of opinion that the whole plan would lead to large and unnecessary expenditure, and prove an utter failure. The scheme, so far from proving advantageous to the offi cers of the mercantile marine, would create much jealousy and ill-feeling. There had been already too much Govern mental interference with the mercantile marine, instead of allowing them to manage their own affairs. He would move that the bill be read a second time this day three months. Admiral DUNCOMBE said the officers of the Royal Navy who entered young, and were subjected to sever o e r drill and exact discipline , were ' not so well remunera ted This bill their services as those of mercantile marine..

Aand the t b s he read the clause, sequent clauses, he saw nothing to show that the Com mander-in-Chief had such power. . Lord C. PAGET said if the right hon. gentleman would lock to clause 50, he would, ho thought, find the power provided for ; but if it was not, he would introduce a clause to provide for such power. The clause was accordingly agreed to; as were clauses 40 to 49 inclusive. On clause 50, Lord C. PAGET said the object of this clause was to einpcwer lieutenants in the navy to sit on c&urts.martiat, and that the courts do not, on such occasions, comprise more than five. The clause was agreed to, as were clauses 51 to 63 inelu- sive. Clause 61, empowering the court-martial to send offenders to a common gaol on a foreign station, and there to be kept to hard labour, was amended on the suggestion of Mr. Henley, and. ordered to stand part of the bill, as were' clauses 64 to 67 inclusive. The remainin.g clauses were agreed to, the house resumed', anal the Chairman reported the bill as amended. NEWSPAPERS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The Lords' amendments to the Attorneys and Selicrtorsc. (Ireland) Bill, and to the White Herring Fishery (Picot- - lard) Bill, were considered and agreed to. The house then adjourned at 25 minutes past 12 9 clock.

At any, rate, no harm could be done by passing the measure. The hon. and learned gentleman then alluded to the unsatisfactory state of the law with regard to the question of domicile, ob serving that in one case before the Howe of Lords last year the expense of litigation amounted to about £30,000, and said that the bill proposed to getid of that evil by provid ing that in the case of a person abroad making a will there should be a residence of a certain fixed period coupled with a declafation of intention as to his domicile. - _ - - s Od s Od s Od =~:
