HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The house met at 5 o'clock. THE AUSTRIAN AND PRUSSIAN TREATY. The Marquis of CLAN RICARDE inquired whether the Government were prepared to lay on the table the offen sive and defensive treaty lately concluded between Austria and Prussia. It seemed to him, according to the accounts in the newspapers, to bo very ambiguous in its terms, and to be capable of an interpretation in favour of Russia. He also wished to know the precise object of the English Go vernment in sending an expedition to Greece, and whether there was any truth in the rumour that a treaty had been concluded between Russia and Persia? He was afraid that our envoy to Persia, a man of great experience as a public servant, was no longer at his post ; but it was of the highest importance that a person of experience, cha racter, and intelligence should be entrusted with the task of defending British interests in Teheran at this moment. The Earl of CLARENDON—In answer to the first question of my noble friend, respecting the convention that has been lately concluded between Austria and Prussia, I have only to say that the negotiations which were carried on during a considerable length of time between those two Powers were kept a profound secret from this and other Governments, and the treaty was only communicated to us confidentially after the ratifications had been exchanged. That treaty has since been communicated to the conference at Vienna at the same time that the Convention entered into between her Majesty's Government and the Government of the Emperor of the French and the Ottoman Porte was communieated'to the conference. That communication took place on the 23d of this month, and a protocol annexing the two conventions together was signed on the same day. That protocol has not yet been received in this country, but as soon as it is it shall be laid on your lordship's table. With respect to Greece, I am prepared to lay before the house the fullest information which we can give on the sub ject, and I am only sorry that the extreme pressure of business in the Foreign-office has prevented one from sooner laying those papers before your lordships. They are very voluminous, and it is the desire of her Majesty's Govern ment that they should be quite complete. I hope in the course of three or four days—certainly in the course of next week—they will be produced ; and I think your lord ships will then see that there have been ample grounds for that measure of coercion which has been reluctantly adopted towards Greece by her Majesty's Government, in concert with the Government of France. (Hear, hear.) With respect to Persia, I would, in the first place, say that Col. Shiel is not withdrawn from Teheran, but that he is absent for the recovery of his health. Mr. Thompson our Chargé d'Affaires at the Persian Court, is a person of great experience, and of great zeal and intelligence, and we have every reason to be satisfied with the manner in which he has conducted the affairs of her Majesty's Government there during the unavoidable absence of Colonel Shiel. I have no reason to believe, from the intelligence which we have received either from Persia or from India, that the treaty to which my noble friend has alluded, or which has been mentioned in the papers, has been concluded between Russia and Persia. The last engagement we know of as having been entered into by Persia was a declaration of neutrality—a neutrality based on the ground of a determi nation by Persia not to vex or harass Turkey in her war with Russia; and for that purpose Persia has suspended all claims, some of them most just, which she has op Tur key. We have heard that the Russians have advanced to a small place on the Sirr, but we have no reason to believe that and treaty has been concluded between the Czar and Persia, or between him and Bokhara and Khiva. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition from the Uni versity of Cambridge, praying that the revenues of the two s p u l i p e p d r e to s e t sued e c a fo n u o n n t r i i a e t s i o i n n oftthe theological Cat hedr al p o r f o E f e l s y s o m r s i h g i h p t s b a p The Earl of ABERDEEN said the suggestion was de serving of attention, though other claims had to be consi dered, such as the augmentation of small livings ; but it should receive consideration. The Committee on the Railway and Canal Traffic Regu lation Bill was, after a rather lengthened discussion upon various points, postponed till Tuesday. ' LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. The Law of Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Bill was read the third time ; and on the question that it do pass, The Earl of CLANCARTY moved the omission of the 37th clause, which gave retrospective compensation for improvements made by tenants. The noble earl contended that this provision was unjust to landlords, and unneces sary for the effectual operation of the bill. The Earls of DONOUGLIMORE and DESART opposed the motion, and on a division the numbers were — For the motion lO Against it Majority against —3l The clause was consequently retained, and the bill was 'then passed. LEASING POWERS (IRELAND) BILL. The Leasing Powers (Ireland) Bill was read the third time ; after which, Lord MONTEAGLE moved that, with respect to the grant of agricultural leases, the period- of 21 years be sub tituted,for 31; years._ - , After a debate, the house divided, and the motion was carried by a majority of 3 ; the numbers being 17 and 20. The bill was then passed. MANNING THE NAVY BILL. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that this bill had been taken the other day without any discussion. He had now to propose that any objection which any member took to the bill shOuld be taken before going into committee ; and he would now proceed to state very shortly the main objects of the bill. First of all, he wished to state that some misap prehension appeared to exist with relation to the title of the billy It was supposed that his right hon. friend at the head ot t rthe Board of Admiralty intended to adopt some new modd of manning the navy by the introduction of this mea sure.` But the bill, in point of fact, was a pure bill, though the "Manning the Navy" was the old title which it had alwa,Ys borne, and which it was thought better to adhere to in the present instance. It had always been the custom at the beginning of a war to pass some such measure as the pre sent for the regulation of the disposal of the prizes taken in war. It was unnecessary to state to their lordships that without an act of Parliament, and without 'the consent, of course, of the Sovereign, all prizes became the property of the Crown. It had, owever, been customary of late years that the prizes should be soled to their captors rather than carried to the public account. For this purpose, at the commencement of every war a proclamation owls issued by her Majesty, and an act of Parliament was passed to regulate the proceedings which took place in the adjudication of prizes and in the-distribution of the money the proceeds of those prizes. As their lordships were aware, the practice with regard to the army was different. In that case an order of council was sufficient • and he might say here that he was in communication with his noble friend the Pay master of the Forces on the subject, and that as soon as the present measure was passed he would be in a condition to lay before her Majesty the measures which they meant to propose with regard to the army. Up to the present the greatest discrepancies had existed with regard to the army, and it was very desirable that some more uniform plan should be adopted. With regard to the measure for the navy, it was always the practice to vary the bill according to the circumstances of the war in which the country was engaged. . In the present war there were circumstances which differed from any former wars, and this necessitated certain alterations from previous measures. to which he was about to draw their lordships' attention. In the first place, this was the first war in which, at its commencement, they had ever been in such intimate relations with an ally as they now were with France. That, of course, created a difference with ,regard to the regulation of prizes, and that very morn ing & paper had been circulated and laidupon their lordships', table, containing the copy of a convention passed between her Majesty and the Emperor of the French upon the sub ject. and a corresponding alteration was made in this bill. 'Then there was great fault found with the operation of former prize acts, which were attempted to be obviated by the present bill—the great delay that took place in the dis tribution of the prize money. A third complaint, and one made'with great justice, was the enormous waste which, .especially during the last war, took place in various parts of the world, especially in our colonies, in the proceeds of the prizes. • The next alteration to which he would refer was an omission. They were ttwale that a proclamation was issued at the beginning of the war, stating that no privateers would be allowed, so that the clauses in former bills which applied to them were now wholly unnecessary. There was in the present bill theiatsual provision with re crard to bounties ; but to give effect to the bounty amuse*, had rap i d now; ly a,.. g p o o n s e s i o b v l ee for t he he e r w in i c s i h p e a d l pet the further intervention of Parliament would be necessary', as Parliament must vote the sums which were to be ap iilhievs d i t o s n b s o o u f u t t h i e es b . He to reserve to himself to answer any observations that might be made to the measure. The,first clause to which, iu pro bability, objection would be taken, was the fifteenth. The provisions of that clause were new in substancq, as in form, and the alterations were made in consequence of ,the enorz mous waste which in former wars had taken plc in *the money that ought to have gone to the 'captor's.'' 'He was afraid that some highly respectable gentlemen, navy agents in this country, felt that the clause implied a stigma upon their profession. Undoubtedly, when alterations of this kind took place, and parties who had heretofore enjoyed the exercise of certain rights and privileges were deprived of them, it was natural they should feel that some stigma was cast upon them. However, he could say with .regard to those gentlemen who had lately addressed a memorial to him upon the subject, that such was not the, intention 'of the Government. At the same time, they did feel that • the duties devolving upon navy agents were very anoma lous, as they acted both as bankers and accountants. It was proposed, therefore, no longer to devolve these duties upon the agents; that instead of providing that the prizes should be handed over to the navy agents, and that they, after selling them and deducting their own expenses and commission, should pay over the remainder to those who were entitled to them, it was now proposed that the first class of duties should devolve upon certain public officers, upon the admiral, ma rshal, or the collector of customs in the colonies. He had already stated that no stigma was intended to bo throw n upon the h ated agents as a class; but it must be remembered that in all classes there were some not so solvent or respectable as others, and several failures had taken place which inflicted very severe losses upon the captors. The losses in the West Indies alone during the last war amounted to the enormous sum of two millions. (Hear.) He thought, therefore, that their lordships would the more readily acquiesce in the alteration now proposed, because it was a boon more to the men than the officers. In the late war it was the practice of the navy agents to make advances to the officers nearly to the whole amount of the sum to which they were entitled, BO that they bad no further interest to expedite the sale. But to the sailors no advances were made—they lost, therefore, by the long delays that occurred in payment, and very frequently the failure of the agents was one consequence of the long delay that occurred in settling the account ; and further provision i was ntroeuced into this bill for the sale of all captured ships by public auction. In this way all temptation to favour private interests was removed ; and he believed it was an understood fact that when ships were sold by the Admiralty they brought more at a public auction than in any other way. They provided, therefore, by this bill that a larger sum should he distributed to the captors, that greater security should bo obtained for its custody, and that less delay should occur in its distribution; and still further security was given to the captors in the provision that the money should be paid not to the private bankers of the agents, but into the public purse. He had reason to believe, from the note he had already referred to as having received from the navy agents, that they were under an impression they were to be deprived of all remuneration for their services. But that was an entire error on their part. By the 2,1 of George IV_, chap. 20, section 29, 21 per cent. was allowed as commission to the navy agents from all the officers and crew, while the captain was called upon to pay 3 per cent. more, making 51 per cent. upon his share. Now, this act was in no way affected by the present bill. There was another act, the 53d George 111., chap. 93, which was also not affected. By this act the captain and crew were enabled by a majority to appoint a navy agent, which met the objections of those who signed the petition that was presented to their lordships by Lord Brougham, who seemed to apprehend that there was no longer any power to appoint s navy agent. He might here mention another alteration in this bill, that by the 33d clause an appeal was given to the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, instead of to commissioners of appeals, asin the case of the last war. An objection was raised the other night that this bill had a retrospective effect. The Earl of HARDWICKE—That is in the other bill. The Duke of NEWCASTLE was certainly not aware that any such provision existed in this bill, but he was about to say that even if it did it would only apply to one or two cases. He would not detain their lordships longer, reserv ing himself, as he said, to answer any objections that might be made. The Earl of ELLENBORODCaI said that, important as it certainly was to devise a good mode of keeping and dividing the prizes when captured, he confessed that there was in his mind a consideration more important still—to whom these prizes ought to belong. With regard to the navy agents, all he would say was that formerly they had not only their commission of 21 per cent., but they de rived still further advantages from the keeping of the money for so long a time in their own hands. As that ad vantage was now to be taken from them, while their trouble was not to be lessened, he thought it was but just and lair that their commission of 2!, per cent, should be increased. With regard to the bill itself, he was sorry that their lordships had dispensed with the discussion of the bill on the stage of the second reading, for suggestions might have been made which would have led her Ma jesty's Government to prepare amendments for the com mittee. That was now too late, and he was afraid the bill would become an act of Parliament in a very imper fect state, and likely to inflict great injury ; for nothing could be more injurious than that at the commencement of a war Parliament should so legislate with respect to prizes, as to run the risk of creating misunderstandings and heartburnings between the two services. It must be remembered that this—more especially in the Black Sea, which was the great theatre of operations—would be carried on by the army and navy in conjunction, and therefore regulations ought to be framed to meet this new state of things, But what was the state of the case ? They had seen arrangements entered into as be tween the English and Frendh fleets—but then it only the fleets ; and no mention was made of an ar rangement as between the armies and the fleets. It was most strange, too, that although provision was made for a division in the case of the co-operation of the allied fleets, none was made for the co-operation of the allied armies, or even for the co-operation of our own army. Suppose the case of a combined operation of the allied fleets and armies for the purpose of taking up a position in respect to the port of Sebastopol, by which the Russian fleet were either destroyed or compelled to go out to meet the block ading ships—could it be said that the army, which had co-operated in this result, should have no share in the cap ture ? Yet no provision was made for giving prize to the army. The next clause related to the capture by her Ma jesty's ships of a fortress—and so careful had the gentle man who drew the bill been, in order to be precise, that he actually provided that it should be a " fortress upon land." The whole property was to belong to the captors. Here, again, there was no provision for the allied fleets, for the allied army, or for our own army. The bill cer tainly contained a clause which provided for conjoint ope rations ; but that clause had reference only to our own army, and not to the allied army. Indeed, in these respects, he must say that he did not recollect to have ever seen a bill of so important a character drawn so carelessly. He must also draw attention to the provisions in the 6th clause. It provided that the officers and crew of any of her Mae jesty's ships who took any fortress upon land, or any ves sel in any river or creek belonging to or defended b y such fortress, should have prize. He wished these condi tions to be noticed. The river in which ships were taken must be defended by a fortress, and the fortress must be taken. No provision was made for the case where the fortress was not taken, but 'a here the ship was cut out ; and in order to make the ship a prize, she must be in a river or creek belonging to or eiefended by a fortress. So that the safest place for enemies ships to go into would be an undefended river or creek, because there would be no inducement for our seamen to follow them, except public duty, inasmuch as they Would not be prizes except they were taken in a river or creek belonging to or defended by a fortress. The next clause, the 7th, supposed a conjoint operation of her Majesty's army with the navy, not merely against a fortress, but against a possession ; and here a different rule applied. A different rule applied with re spect to prize to the fleet in A' large operation than when the fleet acted, only against a fortress. All these were matters of great importance, and he hoped her Majesty's Government would take them into serious consideration. The rule which had prevailed in the navy with respect to prize was entirely different from that prevailing in the army ; but he apprehended that no attempt would be made to alter it as far as concerned the army. In the army, all the forces participated in the pi ize whose position could be understood to have contributed to the capture, however distant they might be from the place where the capture was effected. It was so held in the Deccan, in Scinde, in Spain, and at Waterloo, and, in fact, it was the general law of the army. 'With respect to the navy, it was much to be regretted that no attempt had been made to rene the rule clear, in order that suits might be avoide d d. r To this end two points ought to be considered — m the matter of fact and the matter of opin ion. th Te ter of fact was, whether the ship was seen, the capture, by the captor, and by the vessel taken ; the at tihe me at of matter of opinion was, she was seen under circumstances which tended to intimidate the vessel taken and to encour age the captor. There was no security w h a tever in any case, except where the ship was actually near, that the question might not have to be submitted to a court of jus tice. Now it was most undesirable that brother officers should thus be compelled, as it were, to resort to a court of law with each other in order to settle their claims ; and in order to avoid this evil some clear rule ought to be established. Suppose the principle of distribution of prize which prevailed in the army was established, and there was a combined operation of the army and the navy to'get possession of a place or fortress. If the place were cap tured by the army whilst the naval part of the force Were not in sight of the fortress at the time of capture, that naval force would not, under the provisions of the existing pro clamation, share with the military in the advantages de rived from the capture. Now it was most impolitic to permit the existence of such a state of things. Again, i a ship were taken, head money was allowed at the rate of Si. a man. It was more difficult to takeea a dm fort r oney was - lowed. Such were some of the omissions in the bill. Of course, their lordships had not the power to supply them ; but be hoped the Government would adopt the same rule its both cases—that where a fortress was taken the rule should be exactly the same as wher e a ship was taken. But he must add that it was certainly a subject of great doubt whether, in a war so peculiar as the present, it was advisable to adhere strictly to the old naval prdin. in In the c an ciple in respect to the right of prize. . the Black Sea the enemy's fleet was confined to port. The port was blockaded by the lice-of-battle ships, whi c h blockade enabled all the smaller vessels, without any r i s k or danger to themselves, to take prizes. The smaller ves sels then got the prizes ; but the mon serving in the line of-battle ships, blockading the punl ort s, ss the and who had fleet the hardest work, would get nothing, e enemy's should happen to venture out. In that case, in the event of victory proving on our side, which he could not doubt, they would obtain prize money. But the hardship of the - case was that the smaller vese6ls .could also share in the prize, although they might hot assist in the battle. This was an anomaly which ought to come under the conside ration of her Wasjesty's Government ; and ho suggested that, considering , the peculiarity of the war, the strictness of the rule ougho,6 be modified. The bill was a bill fore "the more effe a 1 mon i n s of her Majesty's navy ;" and 4 the object was to get men to man the large ehips. But it. 'Said to the men ~who wert ked r to man the se s hip s , e lf none ; the prize y i " Prize money you shall shall all belong to-Nhe smalaell ships, because they a l one Will have the ;opportianity d o libaining it." In the last war there was danger imiattempiin do take prize, her e th ere was none at all, for the smalle , essels took it, whil e th e y line-of-battle ships did the rea teyork. Of this, howevsee, he was sure, that a . co mbinedSperations of the army and, 4 , navy were coutem ted, it '#a most desirabl e th a t i n respect to all cornbi ed ops,iratens, there should be only ' one: rule—that the Alava' patik Should not feel that he was fighting by the side Id the soldier, and exposed to equal risk, without ,the chance e)f getting anything, while the soldier was to share': in the prize. Such a state of things was contrary, to equity, and it could not be allowed to exist. In conclusion, 110 expressed his conviction that' material alteration's-were required in the bill, ire Order tie: give satisfaction; tle, the two services, and for theNuipeSe of avoiding misunderstandiags., e . • The Earl of HARDWICKE said A. was not going to advocate the cauSa of the navy agentur the prize agents, but the cause of the offieere of the navy, as he was ex tremely apprehensireethat, Under the system laid down by the bill, prize-money wouid i noibe so carefully looked after nor so quickly paid as unddr the old system. Under the old system, prizes were dealt with e by, agents appointed, under an act of Parliament, These agents were elected ter the captain, officers, - and crew of each ship; and there was the greatesS advantage to captors in having agents upon whom they could rely in pi-Reding their interests. This bill, however,,totally ignored and set aside this description of persons, and banded the captured vessels over to the Marshal of the Admiralty Court or the Queen's Proctor, who had the power of dealing with the captOrs' interests as they might think fit. He had been told of'a case which had just occurred of a Baltic Arite having been cak-ried into Hartlepool, where a sum Ofe 500/. was offered for the ship. This offer was not aceepted, and the vessel. was brought to London, by which, a diminution in the value took place to the extent of - 200/. Under the old system, the agent would haie ascertained the . best market, and have closed with the offer of 5001. Thus a loss had been incurred by 46 captors from their not having had an agent in this country. The noble duke said it was a mistake to suppose that under the new system prize agents would be deprived of the advantages which they possessed. There was nothing, however, in the bill to show that their remuneration would not be reduced; and with regard to the argument of delay in dispensing the proceeds of prizes in the last war, he contended that there had been no other delay than was necessary by the state of the law with regard to appeal. If there was delay it was not for the advantage of the agent. It had also been said that considerable sums had been lost to captors by the de fault of priza agents. He had no doubt that in the colonies a description of gentlemen were employed as prize agents during the war whose proceedings had caused loss to cap tures; but no such instance of ]osshad occurred during the whole war in London or other parts of England where agents were established. He denied, too, the statement, that though advances were made to officers by these agents none were made to the men. With respect to the Navy Pay Bill, he objected to the 10th clause, which would have an injurious effect upon the navy agents by its retrospective operation. A great number of cases were already pending in which they had done work, for which, if the bill passed in its present shape, they could recover no renumeration. The noble earl concluded by observing that if he was ever called into active service afloat, which he did not expect, he should infinitely prefer the old system of having an able trustworthy, and wealthy man for his agent, than a Go vernment officer. Lord COLCHESTER expressed general concurrence in the remarks of his noble friend (the Earl of Ellenborough), especially with regard to the distribution of prizes cap tured by joint operations. And he thought it would be much more advantageous to the captors to have a confiden tial agent of their own, than a Government officer to look after their interest. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in reply, said complaint had been made that the navy agents would not have the same amount of remuneration as they had formerly re ceived. But it should be remembered that they would not have the amount of trouble which they had on former oc casions. As regarded a very large portion of the prizes, a very great proportion was taken and condemned in the colonies, and in such cases serious loss had been sometimes sustained by the captors. The bill enacted that they should be sold by public auction instead of private contract, which would undoubtedly be a more advantageous arrangement, and, combined with the appointment of a responsible pub lic officer, would entirely preclude the possibility of decep tion. For defraying small expenses incidental to the tran saction, the agent would be authorised to take out a power of attorney.; aaulif he declinedto doso,thercthe °Seers of the court would be required to settle all demands. With re gard to provision for insurance, the marshal was empowered in all oases to effect it. In respect to conjoint operations of the navy and army, it had not been thought expedient to make provision for this case in the present measure. The enactments of the bill were framed throughout both on former practice and legal decisions. Great difficulties would arise from any attempt to assimilate the regulations of the navy to those of the army in reference to the assign ment of proportions of prize money, as suggested by his noble friend opposite. Another suggestion made was, that the payment of head money should be extended to cases of capture of fortresses as well as ships ; but the principle was one liable to abuse, and it would hardly be safe to give it any greater extension than it now had. In some such cases particular grants had been made by Parlia ment, which secured every object of pecuniary reward in a sounder and more effective form. His noble friend was quite in error in supposing that the bill would have any retrospective effect ; it would come into operation on the Ist of June, and be applicable to all prizes taken from and after that date. The bill then passed through committee, and was re ported with amendments. NAVY PAY BILL. This bill went through committee, and was reported with amendments. The Common Law Procedure Bill was reported. The Church Building Acts Amendment Bill was read a ,hird time and passed. The Dublin Port Bill was read a second time. T heir lordships then adjourned at eleven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKeuitook the chair at four o'clock. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Bac , enalstown and Wexford Railway (No. 2), Bideford Roads, Cornwall Railway; Dudley, Halesown, and Brooms grove Roads ; Edinburgh Roads, Londonderry and Ennis killen Railway, London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway ; Middlesex Industrial Schools, Stockport Rectory Division, West Bromwich Improvement, &c. ; Winchester and Petersfield Road. The following bills were considered, and ordered to be read a third time :—Dowlais Railway, Glasgow Suspension Bridge, and South Devo PEnTITIONS TaviAtock Railway. Petitions were presented by Mr. CAYLEY, from 13,000 colliers of Cumberland and Durham, praying ,for in creased protection against accident in coal mines; by Mr. Rica, from Richmond, against opening public houses on Sundays ; by Mr. MoweuAv, from places in Devon, with the same prayer; by Mr. A. PELLATT, from the Congrega tional Union of England and Wales, for opening the uni versities to all classes of her Majesty's subjects ; by Sir W. CLAY, from places in Wales and Yorkshire, praying for he abolition of church rates. LOSS OF THE TIGER. _ _ _ Admiral WALCOT wished to ask the right hon. but. the First Lord of the Admiralty if the Government had received any information with respect to the reported loss of the Tiger. Sir J. GRAHAM could only state that her Majesty's Government had received no communication with respect to the alleged loss of the Tiger, exceptinc , that which had come through the medium of the telegraph ; but such tele graphic communications had been received from various parts of the Continent ; and although there was no direct information upon the point, yet, from the concurrent tes timony which had then been received on the subject, left no doubt that the fact stated was substantially correct. THE SIMOO3I. - - Mr. MACARTNEY asked the First Lord of the Ad miralty if ho would lay before the house a return of all . repairs made to the machinery of the Simoom subsequent to her list return from Malta, during which voyage her engines are believed to have repeatedly failed ; and to state to the house whether the steam-power of that transport (in all other respects most excellent) was reported serviceable previous to the embarkation of the 79th, and, if so, by whom? Whether any official or other report has reached him of the progress of the Simoom steamship, so far as Gibraltar, employed to convey the 79th Highlanders to the East, to the effect that the engines of that vessel broko down five times in four clays, first failing within a fow hours of leavino. Portsmouth, before the ship reached the Needles, so that for the last three days she relied altogether on her sails, disconnecting .her screw, and raking out her fires. _ _ Sir J. GRAHAM said no dfficial information had reached the Admiralty with respect to the Simoom, but of all the transports, he knew for a fact that she was the most con venient and comfortable for the troops. At the same time, he was bound to admit that her engines were not of the best construction, but in the course of the last 18 months she has performed a voyage to the Cape, to Canada, while once or twice she had been out to he Mediterranean. Under these circumstances, and in the pressure of the ' moment, it had been thought advisable to use her again for the conveyance of troops, and intelligence had been received that she“had safely arrived, with all well, at Gibraltar. GUN BOATS. Mr. F. FITZGERALD wished to ask the First Lord o the Admiralty whether it was true that her Majesty's steam gun-boat Cuckoo, Lieutenant Murray commanding, now fitting out for service in the Baltic, was proceeding to her destination without any medical officer on board ; and whether he was aware that, although application had been made to the Admiralty for the appointment of a surgeon, no reply had been given to that •tpplication. Sir J. GRAHAM said it was quite true that such an application had been made to the Admiralty, but it was not intended that gunboats should be employed against the enemy except in conjunction with larger vessels. BLOCKADE OF RUSSIAN PORTS. Mr. FIEADLA.M asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether an effective ..blockade is now in force as against any of the Russian ports in the Baltic or Black Sea, or, if not, whether any information can be given as to the in tentions of the Government on the subject. Sir J. GRAHAM replied that both in the Baltic and the Black Sea it was intended to institute a rigorous blockade of the Russian coast ; and although no official intelligence had been received of the feet,' he had reason' to believe that a blockade of Riga already existed, and an effective force was on the spot for carrying such blockade into execution. With respect to the other ports in the Baltic or the Black Sea, he had received no such certain information ; but so soon as he should receive such infer mAiim, an official notification of the fact would bo given in the Gazette. Mr. M. GIBSON asked whether it was intended to com mence a vigorous blockade of tho Russian coast on the White Sea ? • Sir J. GRAHAM replied that it was not intended at present to blockade the Russian ports of the White Sea. COMMANDER IN CHIEF AT MADRAS. Sir J. W. HOGG wished to ask the President of the Board of Control, whether, upon the occasion of -the vacancy in the office of commander iu chief at. ,Madras, caused by the death of General Stanley, it is the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to advise her Majesty to select for that appointment an officer from.the army of the East India Company. Sir C. WOOD replied that tire subject had not yet been brought under the attention of tfielGovernment. CONVENTION BETWEEN THE FOUR POWERS. Lord D. STUART asked Lord J. Russell whetheLhe would lay upon the table r copies of the convention or treaty lately signed between Austria and Prussia ? Alsb,"whe ther any convention or protocol relating to. thel3resent state of Europe had been ,lately signed between England, France, Prussia, and Austria ; and if so, whether he would ;lay it upon the table, or state the generalynrport thetoof to the house ? Lord J. RUSSELL said a protocol had been'signed Vienna between England, Frarce, Austria and PrusfAtili the terms of which had not yet been received in this country, but when they did arrive ho shotild take care they should be laid upon the4able. WAYS AND MEANS. The house then went into committee on Ways and moa t ns , Mx. NILSON rose to moire a resolution of yvkieh ho hp.d. not given notice respecting the duty On spirits. in Scotland., The gross old duty was 4s. 90. on spirits, an d d . the gross duty on malt and spirits was a net duty,of ss. Oi but by the new duty it would be is. Bd., with a drawback of is. 421.1. This was a stat4pf things considered not jus tifiable as between the Uotilt and the spirit distillers, and it was agreed . -tha,f • the 112a.ck on malt duty should bo -" eq4.lalged to t drawback_ on spirits as it had been , under the old deti , . l : There was no reason whatever .to believe that 'any. "increase had taken place in Scotland in illicit di t st h illatith in pro portion to the :increaseded duty, alEligh ...the con sumption had greatly exceeded during the past year and first quarter of .the present the consumption in previons years. The bon. gentleman concluded by moving hi s re solution. Col. DUNNE believed the proposed resolution as a fiscal measure, was an unwise one. Mr. HUME could not agree with the hon. member who had just sat down ; so far from the measure being an improper one, he thought Government would be justified in raising the duty on spirits even much higher, in order to put down illicit distillation. Mx. C. DEUCE "greed with tho hon, member for Dion, EXCISE DUTIES BILL, when the various clauses were agreed to. On the schedule being proposed, Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD observed that, in the schedule annexed to the bill, the increased duty on Irish sprits was to conic into operation " on or after the Bth of May," the day on which the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed his resolutions. He moved the omission of the words " on or." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER remarked that if the committee intended to adhere to the uniform principle by which an increase of excise duty, when it had been proposed by the Government and accepted by the house, had always taken effect at once, it was quite im possible to accede to the motion of the hon. member. Mr. V. SCULLY said the Chancellor of the Exchequer had entrenched himself behind a bad precedent, and he hoped, therefore, that the right hon. gentleman would with draw his opposition to the proposed amendment. The committee divided, when there voted— For the amendment 1 4 46 Against it 146 - - Majority against the amendment —lO6 The bill then passed through committee, and the house resumed. IN COME-TAX (No. 2) BILL. The house having gone into committee upon this bill, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether he had abandoned entirely the hope of re moving some of the glaring inequalities of this tax a ? t An e d in order that the committee might un d e rstand th the inequalities to which he referred, he 7 . uld n tak i e r the o liberty of calling their atte ntion to the opera A upon one description of prop ert y , the Long inonnuif the tax ties. The Long Annuities would exp ire in 1860 ; it was e very likely that the war would last till then ; the incom tax was to remain during the war, and it was important to iminture, therefore, what was the burde n which they w ere g of May, impose upon that class 42 . pro p e rty. On the 10th f__ if a person invested 8 0/. in Long Annuities he would have to pay income tax to the amount of it. 2s. 2d. ; but if he invested the same sum in Three per Cent. Consols, he would have to pay only 3s. 6d. The value of the tax on the Long Annuities in 1860 would be 5h Bs. 6d. while on the Cousols it would be only 16s 6d, The Chancellor of the Exchequer might say that . the one was a tax for a short period, and the other a tax for a long period ; but the answer to that would be that any person who had nothing but a Long Annuity to live upon would, at the end of 1860, be in the workhouse if he did not reinvest a certain portion of the capital, which consequently would. become the subject of taxation. This question was elaborately gone into before the committee which sat upon the income tax, and a great deal of algebra was produced to show that if the tax was perpetual it would come to the same thing ; but that could not be satis factory to those who were not likely to live for ever, and a practical injustice would be done to the holders of Long Annuities. Nothing could be more easy than to remedy that injustice. They might put the Long An nuities on the same footing as the Three per Cent. Consols. He held it was a breach of public faith, and c ontrar y to law, to lay hold of this species of property, and tax it at the rate of 15 per cent. instead of 6. He hoped, therefore, that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer would give some assurance to the committee that he would attempt to remedy this glaring injustice, bearing in mind that funded property stood in a peculiar position, having been created by an act of Parlia ment with a particular exemption from taxation, which was not enjoyed by a.n. other class of property. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the hon. baronet had raised one of the most important, intricate, and difficult questions that had ever attracted the attention of Parliament, and had raised it at a moment when about one tenth of the members of the house were present, and when about one-tenth of those who were in the house were attend ing to the subject. (A laugh.) It was, he thought, quite im possible that there could be an occasion more unpropitious to any clear or satisfactory solution of a problem which he, for one, frankly owned could not be solved ; but whether it could be solved or not, his answer to the hon. baronet was this—it was a very grave and difficult question, which, whenever it was considered, could not possibly or justly be considered with reference to one class, but must necessarily be considered with reference to all classes. The case of the Lone. Annuitants differed from that of many other classes who had, or suppose themselves to have, a claim to exemption from the income tax, only because it admitted of arithmetical calculation. The disadvantages of the Long Annuitants were capable of being put in a very distinct and palpable form by figures, and in that respect they might be said to differ from those of other classes ; but as regarded the substance of the case, the Long Annuitant was not. differently circumstanced, except in a favourable sense, from other persons having tempo rary incomes. The question was not between the Long Annuitants and the rest of the community, it was between those who had temporary interests and those who had per manent interests. (Hear, hear.) It might be said, why not adjust the differences between temporary and perma nent interests? He had never promised to undertake that task, and was glad that he had not done so, because the promise was one which he would be totally linable to re deem. Those who thought that the differences could be adjusted might reasonably give such a promise; but nothing could be more irrational than to select one parti cular class of persons who had temporary interests, and to give an allowance to those persons, leaving other classes, who had also temporary interests, the full sweep and stroke of the tax. (Hear, hear.) If they were determined to deal with cases of hardship, injustice, and oppression, he might suggest that the case of the Long Annui ties was not the strongest. A large portion of those annui ties were created in the midst of the war, when they were subject by law, and were known to be so, to a 10 per cent. income tax—(hear, hear)—and he knew a groat multitude , of cases which more deserved attention when they ap- I preached the consideration of this question. He must con- : fess, however, that he doubted whether, at this time of day, they would do any justice by making any alteration. They had now had the income tax in full play for the last twelve years, and he thought he might safely say that every bargain in Long Annuities which had been made during that time had been made with the full expectation that those Long Annuities would be subject to the payment of the tax. He was therefore by no moans disposed to think that, if they were to select a particular instance, it would be wise to select this particular instance ; but that which he wished to press upon the committee was this, that they could not, without doing great injustice, attempt to deal with an isolated case. It would be a piece of legisla tive favouritism, almost unexampled, to select an isolated case of this kind, and to leave all the others which fell under the same general principle, but in a more aggravated form, untouched. On that account, while he admitted that it was perfectly open to any gentleman to raise the consideration of the whole question at any time, he thought it was quite impossible that the committee could consider it in a form so partial and exceptional as that which the hon. baronet now proposed. (Rear, hear.) Mr. HUME said, the right hon. gentleman had not fairly met the arguments of the hon. baronet opposite. It was '. not correct to say that the hon. baronet haal selected an isolated case. The hon. baronet had distinctly stated that he mentioned the case of the Long Annuitants as a sample of many other cases of hardship and injustice which lie might adduce in reference to the income tax. The truth was that almost every class of the community was injured by the tax in its present shape, and yet there was nut one of its inequalities which might not be easily remedied. Government had shrunk from the task; but, nevertheless, something should be clone. In reply to au observation by Colonel DUNNE upon the objectionable mode of levying the tax in Ireland, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the act of last year was, to a certain extent, experimental. It was very difficult to anticipate how the income tax could best be levied in that country. The Government decided upon one mode, but at the same time were open to convic tion to snake any suggested alteration, provided the work -1 ing of it was unsatisfactory. They considered it expedient in the autumn of last year to appoint two gentlemen as special commissioners to hear appeals and receive com plaints, and.he had great satisfaction in bein g able to istate that the levying of the income tax in Ireland, which the - 'Government anticipated would be at tended with .very considerable obstacles and difficul ties, had 'beo-si„found, on thb whole, an easy financial opetatian.* - ' (Heir, heart) A. 'though the honourable and gallant gentleman wad iivainted with parties who had experienced annoyance in the collection of the tax, his experience must be isolated and contrary to general rule ; because it was not to be supposed that parties suf fering under the tax would have made no complaint to those whom Parliament had appointed to receive and re dress these grievances. Parliament had been most careful to provide for appeals, not to the collectors, but to the special commissioners, and now that the first half-year's tax had been collected, which might fairly be expected would be attended with the most difficulty, although the special commissioners in Ireland had to discharge n all th ase duties which were dischar g ed by local com well as special commissioners in England, yet so small was the amount of labour that Govenament ha t d not thought they would be justified in continuing hose in their places ; on the c ontrary,. as ono or the w t o li g re e e n s e e in ci e :l commissioners in England had died, o eof the Irish special commissioners had been appointed to the vacancy ; sa d wthreference to the other, it would be necessary to con tinue a special. officer in Ireland. That experience was most satisfactory to the GoVernment, and would be so con sidered by the house. (Hear, hear.) Ho begged to as sure the hon. and gallant gentleman that any particular case of annoyance or inconvenience of which he would favour the Government with the particulars would not fail to be carefully examined, and the Government would be most anxious to take the first opportunity to provide a remedy. (Hear, hear.) The clauses, with some verbal amendments, were agreed to, and the bill was repOrted. r• . ' THE CONSOLIWATED FUND (£8,000,000) BILL. This bill, as amenalid, was reported. . a UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD BILL. The house went into committee on the Oxford Univer sity Bill. Sir J. PAKINGTON complained thattlaebill had been brought on to-night without that sufficien Cliotice which the house hisd reason to expect. Th e lasttime that Lord John Russell was asked a question on the subject he stated that he would give two or three days' notice previously to asking the house to go into committee on the bill, but last night, the noble lord fixed th e comm itt ee f or thi s evening. Sir conversation ensued up on thi s point. A r. NEWDEGATE complained that the house had been taken by surprise, and adverted to the small number of members present,, laird J. RUSSELL disclaimed any intention to take the house by surprise and, with reference to the scant attend ance, reminded the committee of Lord.Clarendon'e obser avation respecting the Commons in his time :—" There are many members ;he love the church, but they love it not BO well as their dinner." On the 22a clause, which enacts that any m ember of con gregation may, upon the promulgation of any statute, Council, which in writing amendments to the Hebdomadal which thcacouncil may adopt, alter, or reject, Mr. HE IaTL EY objected to the restrict xi power conferred by this clause. It was desir able that further powe.nsht ted should by be given to express opinion by successiy_e_amondmei i a s The CHANCELLOR of the acatv vu u Mr. WALPOLE thought the clause alts nether tuleleu. It gave no powers to members of Co a n v gr e c e o ga n t igr tioegation n which po t w key er did not now possess. This clause gave of making amendments without discussion, while the 22d clause gave it the power of discussing without making amendments. After some further discussion, Mr. MOWBRAY proposed the introduction of words which would render it imperative on the Hebdomadal Council to consider the amendments submitted to them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER assented to the amendment, which was adopted by the committee, and the clause agreed to as was also clause 2;1. M. WALPOLE moved the omission of clause 22, on the ground that it was unnecessary, the 18th clause haying given Congregation power to regulate its own proceedings. The 22d clause merely empowered the Congregation on the occasion of the promulgation of any statute, to speak in the English language, without the power of moving amend ments. Discussions of this nature, without any practical object, might give the Congreg ation the character of a debating society. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER insisted en the necessity of retaining the clause, and on a division it was ordered to stand part of the bill, by a majority of 134 to 70. Clause 23 was agreed to. Mr. HEYWOOD moved that words be added to clause 24, giving Convocation " the right of conducting its pro ceedings in the English tongue." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER eg Q n UE st ß iv o e p d p z dt amendment, which, on a division, w to 99. On the question of agreeing to clause 25, which de clares that certain votes in use in the University shall be illegal after the passing of the act, Mr. BLACKETT declared that his wish had been to er tend the principle of the clause to all the idle and profane oaths by which members of college foundations bind them. selves in general terms to obey the statutes of their col leges ; but, being informed by the chairman that this course would be irregular, he was obliged to move t h e omission of the clause in the first instance, with the view of substituting for it a clause drawn in these words—" It shall henceforward be unlawful to administer any oath on admission to any o ffi ce of emolument in the said University or the colleges thereof." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. thought the course, taken by the hon. gen tl eman was inconvenient in point of form ; besides which, it might be doubted whether the house would go tho length of prohibiting all promissory oaths in the University. Mr. BLACKETT, in deference to what appeared to be the wish of the house, withdrew his amendment. Clause 25, as amended, was thou agreed and t ;he house i The CHAIRMAN reported progress, re sumed. Mr. WALPOLE wished to know when the bill would be further proceeded with ? Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that the Bribery Bills would be taken first on Monday : then would follow some money bills, and next he proposed to proceed with the Oxford University Bill. He hoped the house would be able to go into committee on the latter bill at no very late Onmotion of the noble lord , th e house , at its rising, was orde red houron the to be ajourned to Monday.
