INIPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The house met at five o'clock. THE RIFF PIRATES. The Earl of HARDWICKE asked a question of the Government respecting the Riff pirates, as to whether there could not be some means of putting down the atrocities committed by these pirates. Ile thought there should be a cruiser constantly on that coast for the protection of our trade The Earl of CLARENDON said this subject had been for a long time under the consideration of the Go vernment, and they had applied to the Emperor of Mo rocco to put down those pirates, b u t that potentate declared his inability to do so. There was, however, a vessel sent out to Gibraltar by the Government for that special purpose. CRIMINAL JUSTICE (METROPOLIS) BILL. Lord BROUGHAM said that he felt bound, at this period of the session, to withdraw this bill, as it could not now be done ju. , tice to. After a few words from Lord CA.IIPBELL, the bill was withdrawn. _ _ MERCHANT SHIPPING ACTS REPEAL BILL. On the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, this bill was read a third time and passed. INCLOSURE, Ste., OF LAND BILL The report of amendments to this bill was received. MEDICAL GRADUATES (UNIVERSITY OF LONDON) BILL. Lord MONTEAGLE moved that the house go into committee on this bill. The Duke of ARGYLL said he gave notice on a previous day for the insertion in this bill of the Scotch ' Universities, and he now moved a clause to that effect. The Marquis of LANSDOW-NE-suelectrted the clause. Lord CAMPBELL could not understand what pos sible objections there could be to include in thin bill the . graduates of the universities of Scotland, two of which, Edinburgh and Glasgow, were the most renowned medi cal schools in the World. • • Lord WYNFORD thought that every man who claimed the right to practise should, at least, produce a guarantee that he was a proper and safe practitioner. The Earl of GALLOWAY thought it would be very desirable to postpone the first clause of this bill until next session, when the whole subject might be considered • in all its branches, and a measure might be passed that would embrace all that was found to be really desirable on the subject. The Earl of DERBY must say he was inclined to agree with the noble earl on the cross benches, that it was hardly fitting they should legislate at present upon the subject, which appeared to be worthy of the con sideration of the Government, and-`should not have been • introduced without obtaining their sanction. Now, he understood this measure had been introduced in the first "nstance by a private member of Parliament, who brought orward a plan with regard to the University of London, and it was then said that, if they conferred the privilege on the University of London, they should likewise confer it on the universities of Durham and Dublin, and upon the Scotch universities. The question now was, whether they were to pass a bill of an exceptional character in favour of the University of London alone, and he thought that if they were to deal with the question, they should deal with it, as a great question of medical reform, on some established and known principle. The question involved conse quences so serious to the community at large that it ought to be taken up by the Government and dealt with as a measure of the Government. It ought not to be dealt with by an individual member putting forward the claims of a particular university, and then excluding or including one or other universities, not according to a definite or fixed principle, lots accorsling to the caprice of the House of Commons or' their lordships' house, as they happened to be worked upon by the case presented to them. He would not take the sense of the house on the question, but if the noble earl on the cross benches divided against the further progress of the bill, be (the Earl of Derby) should think it to be his duty to vote with him. . Lord MONTEAGLE considered that the bill had been unquestionably taken up by the Government, every Cabinet Minister and member of the Government having voted for it. Lord CAMPBELL would second the proposition of any noble lord who should move that the bill be further considered that day three months. Lord WYNFORD had no particular hostility to the bill, but wished the whole que-tion to be considered, • and therefore begged to move that theygo into committee that day three months. Their lordships divided— For going into committee l7 Against Majority The house accordingly went into committee, through which, with some amendments, the bill was passed, and their lordships resumed. The Burials beyond the Metropolis Bill, and the Paro chial Schoolmasters (Scotland) Bill, were read a third • time and passed. - Lord BROUGHAM, after a discussion with Lord Redesdale as to the effect of the standing order which provides that no bill shall be read the second time after the 25th July, withdrew his Education in Corporate . Town Bill. The Spirits (Ireland) Bill was read the third time ; and on the question that it do pass, Lord MONTEAGLE called attention to the fact that :his measure converted, to all practical purposes, the • sonstabulary force of Ireland into officers for the collec tion of revenue, contrary to the whole current of autho rity upon the subject, and in opposition to the principle upon which the force was tassfituted: — Tee hill turned the constables into excisemen, who knew nothing of such duties; and thus produced a divided duty which would lea.d to great embarrassment, for if the county magis tracy required their serv.ces it might be found they could not have them, as the men were employed by the Excise department. The Government might add to the revenue police without mate rial expense, and thus leave the constabulary to fulfil its , proper duties. On these grounds he shbuld propose the orritSeion of the clauses, three in ndinher, Wlich authorised the employment of the police in:exbise diities. The noble lord then moved his first I ' amendment; to the effect that sub-constables should be • excluded from each employment, which he justified on the ground .that . they could not-be supposed to possess any very gteat expetience. 1 - 4 0 PA-NNING, in reply.. remarked with regard to _ sub-constables that they could . not-act-in - revenue cases unless they had a magistrate's warrant specifically ad dressed to them. With regard to the general question, he c l ont4ncted that the employment of the . police in sup prtissiog illicit - distillation would not impair their effi cieney, and he referred to the authority of several offi • sera in support of this view. The experiment, limited . . as'iV was by the-terms of the bill, 'Could not be produc • Ulna of any mischief, and he hoped their lordships would • net reject it.. - • The Marquis ofiCLANRICAiRDE "contended that no good reason had been shown for the diversion of the constabulary-from their regular duties. The amendment was then negatived, and their lord ships afterwards divided upon clause 13, which enables the Lord-Lieutenant to employ the constabulary in the suppression of illicit distillation. The numbers were - ' 67 For the clause Against it Majority for --6 - The bill was then passed. THE BOARD OF HEALTH. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY.—In moving for the • papers and correspondenceof which 4 have given notice; I must take the osportuuity of vindicating myself and my honour against a charge which has been made by another person in another place seriously affecting my Personal honour and character for veracity. I feel, my • lords, .that it may be of little importance to the world at • large what may be the character of so humble an in dividual as myself, but, as a member of your lordships' ' 'house, it is a matter of some importance that I should - stand erect - before you, and either refute the charge which has been made, or submit to the contumely which its confirmation would inflict upon me. lam able, my tr.eraclicottothe ►r give the flattest possible c on t ra di c ti on t o every ge which has been made.

He went to - the Board of Health on this subject. This was on the 3' h of January, 1851 . The board read to him s. long letter of seven pages, which they had prepared, and in wh;ch they argued the point with the Treasury. Thereupon, as the minutes recorded—' Lord Seymour moved th ,t a letter should be sent instead of the proposed draught, stating that the board are ready to act on the suggestions contained in the Treasury letter. This motion not being seconded, Lord, - Seymour stated that he wished that the Treasury should be informed, when the board' s letter is transmitted, that he differs from it. Now, as to this atter, LorilShaftesbu Shaftesbury, in his place elsewhere, had stated that the thing had not happened as he (Lord Siyinour) had described it on a for mer occasion. Lord Shaftesbury, speaking on his honour, spok e , it was t o b e remembered, upon the information orur the t o hmo c. of the secretary—not hiving h-en himself prevent easion—wh ereas h e (Lord Seymour),having been present, spoke from his own recollection." ilark the words !

AUGUST 2, P 4. the evidence—and first the written testimony of two of my colleagues : " The General Board of Health, Whitehall, August i ° " We declare mast solemnly that we were present at a board hell on the 3,)th of January, 1851, the day on w ch it is recorded in the minutes that Lord Seymour attended and made a motion that was not seconded,' and we fur her declare that Lord Shaftesbury was present and male the proposition which was adopted. Ou our remembrance being called to Lord Seymour's allegation that he had been told that his motion had not been seconded, we declare that he was not so told. by us, or by Lord Shaftesbury in our presence on that occasion ; nor do we believe that he was so,tola on any other occasion whatsoever. " EDWIN CHADWICK. "T. SOUTHWOOD SMITH." Hear now the letter from Mr. Macaulay, the secretary, who was present at the time, and who writes to me to day in the following terms : . " lip impression is, that you were present at the meet ing of the board on the 30th of January, 1851. The matter, however, can be placed beyond the possibility of doubt by reference to the fair and rough minutes of the 30th of January, where the attendances of each member of the board are carefully recorded. " C. WACAULAY'" IVhat say the minutes? I refer to the fair minutes— I refer to the rou g h minutes, and I find— " Extrict from minutes of Thursday, January 30, 1831. Present—Lord seyinour, M P. ; Lord Ashley, M.P., Ed win Chadwick, Esq.; Dr. S Smith." An I now I am to be told, in the presence of the country and of the House of Commons, - that, speaking upon my honour, I have been guilty of a falsehood when I assert what I have done, not upon my single testimony alone, but supported by that of my two colleagues, of the secretary, and of the minutes, which cannot lie, Now, one more statement. He goes on to say— " Lord Shaftesbury hail male it a charge against him that he had never attended the board ; this was not the case, though it was the case that he had ceased to attend the hoard when he found by.experience that it was to no purpose that he attended a board where he was syste matically overborne. while he could occupy his time to really useful public purposes in his own office. The noble earl had added that he (Lord Seymour) had told him, in confidence, that he never meant to do anything that he was not compelled to do. He would not be so discourteous as to go into any discussion with the noble earl as the ex pression so attributed to him ; all he would observe was, that if he had said this to the noble earl in confidence, his confidence had been much misplaced." Hear what I did say :—I asserted that he stayed away, not becatise he was opposed, but because he had pre determined not to come. and I proved ;t by his state ment to me a few days after he took office that he could not attend, by his allowing 68 boards to be held between his first and-second attendance, 5 between the second and third, 10 between the third and fourth, and 94 be tween the fourth and fifth, when for the first arid only time he met with a difference of opinion. I say that this completely proves that he never intended to come to the board ; and when he says be did not conic because he was constantly overborne, my simple reply to him is, that lie never did intend to come. Again he says that he told me in confidence that he never meant to do any thing he was not compelled to do. I never said that Lord Seymour had said to me in confidence that he would not do more than he was compelled to do. Lord Seymour never said it in confidence to any one ; he said it to myself, he said it to my colleagues, he said it to Lord Ehrington, and he wrote it to the board on the 14th of January, 1851, in these words : " It is not in my power to attend the meetings of the Board of Health without neglect of my duties here." Further on, speaking of the period when the powers of the Board of Health as conferred by the act were about to close, the noble lord said : "This was precisely the time when the Legislature was properly called upon to review the operation of the mea sure, and nothing could be more unreasonable than the proposition of a noble earl elsewhere—the non-official ;nem lo2r and patron of the board (Lord Shaftesbury) —that such review of its proceedings was an unhandsome attack upon absent individuals." I never said that, nor anythin g like that. I said that for any gentleman to sp ea k of men like his then col leagues, and to say that they "could be made to do their duty only by fear of losing their salaries," was an in decent and cruei charge which ought not to be made against men—against men to whom no notice had been given, and who, therefore, had no means of denying what was said. That is what I said, and what I must emphatically repeat, for I think that a charge made in such a tone and temper and manner against gentlemen as good in every respect as himself was an act of gross and intolerable indecency : " In order (he says) that such objectionable proceedings might not occur again, he had sent to the Board of Health requiring copies of all the minutes of their proceedinga, so that he might see what was going on. it being impossible for him at that time—the Board of Works and the Board of Woods being then united—to attend at the Board of Health, who were in the habit of holding boards every day for some thee or four minutes per diem." Now, anything more unwarrantable, and, I say again, more cruel, towards those meritorious amid hard-working men I never yet heard. I will undertake to prove that the average attendances at that board were five hours a-day, at least—sometimes six or seven hours ' • arid, when the cholera was raging, and i n ti mes o f great pressure, as much as 10 hours a-day. Almost every night, also, business was taken home by the two commissioners, on winch they had to occupy them selves during the night, in order to prepare themselves to receive deputations or transact important business on the following morning. The noble lord went on to say : "He must express the opinion that the jobbing of the Board of Health presented an amount of dirt which must be vory startling to the clean party in question. The wholo thing was perfectly monstrous." Here, again, is a charge of corruption which he knows well he cannot prove ! This he calls, no doubt, "a re view of the board's proceedings ;" without inqqiry, with out power of reply on the pert of the accused. Is it wise, is it just, is it safe that any body of legislators should proceed to act upon such evidence as this ? These are samples of the whole speech ; there is hardly an asser tion that might not be met by as fl it a contradiction. They show the spirit of the man, the character of his c ,arges, and the whole system of the attacks on the board. He was pleased to reflect very contemptuously on myself and all my public actions and opi nions. Partly through ind.fference, and partly throuoh inability, I shall not en leavour to make any reply. It may be an infirmity, or even a vice, but so the fact is, that I do net much care for the opinion of my contempo raries, and nothing at all for the opinion of posterity. What I do care for is the conviction that I have, by God's blessing, " done my duty in that state of life to which it has pleased God to call me," arid that conviction cannot he taken away either' by Lord Seymour or the House of Commons. (Hear, hear ) The noble earl concluded by moving--fora return of copies -of any correspondence from local boards of health, in - •rePly to inqiiiiies from towns where the application of the Public Health Act was under consideration ; of any communications from chairmen or officers of :local boards, on the opposition made to the continuance of the General • Board ; and also a copy of any memorial- from the clergy of the metropolis iu rela tion to the 'Metropolitan Litertnente Act. Their lortlehips adjourned at 25 minutes to 9 o'cilock. t HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took his seat at the table a few minutes before twelve o'clock, but he di,l not take the chair until 25 minutes to one, there not having been a suffi cient number of members present to make " a house." PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the North Metropolitan Bill, and the British Guarantee Association (No. 2) Bill, were considered and agreed to. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. HADFIELD, from a place in Yorkshire, against the opening of public-horses on Sundays ; and by Mr - Housrnt;•friiiu . the South African Association of Liverpool, praying for the better performance of the African Mail Service. CONINION LekW PROCEDURE BILL. The committee on this bill was then resumed, com mencing with clau+e 37. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the house resumed. BILLS OF EXCHANGE (No. 2) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. GE .CH said this bill involved a very important principle ; it purposed to assimilate the law of England with regard to bills of exchange with that of Scotland, and if it passed, a party reg , stering a bid of exchange would be enabled to obtain an immediate judgment against the acceptor in the event of the bill being dishonoured. The trading system of Scotland was so widely different to what it was in England that the two laws could not be assimilated with safety ; for instance, in Scotland, it was the in variable rule to make bills of exchange payable at local bankers, who retained possession of them with out putting them in circulation ; but in Eogland the practice was different, because it was the rule and not the exception to make bills payable at some banking house in London, whose hands it did not reach until it had been in .extensive circulation. Little difficulty was experienced in Scotland in renewing bills of exchange, but without the bre ',thing time which the existing English system allowed, but which this bill runnin g would ab o li s. , ,traders having dishonoured bills of exchange might be sudd en ly d r i ven i n t o b an k ru pt c y, al though with as li ght i ndulgence their estate might be made to yield 30s. in the pound. after is the dishonour, could not takeup adi I d " er t bill, taken against him' have largely roan judgment s ionoure_ accceptance within 6 days and l be e t t d liable wo nhl would to the creditor interes't4' move that the bill 'where it was not wanted, he must . be committed this • day three months, wits a view to an inquiry bei ng change was made in thehad before so great a Sir E. law. PARRY argued that the bill was founded upon sound principles of supported it. Toe bill jurisprudence,wiilsi and then-fore lie the law of bills of exchange I, rendering'llify and economise procedure to recover the antoynnt of an expensive a dishonoured bill tyinecessary, and he could not help feeling that such a change would confer lasting advaiite i s t upr the trading portions of the community, though might to some extent diminish the bankin g operatioes of the country. The system which the bill propo se d e to establish existed already, no t on l y in Scotland, a l," in France, Prussia, Spain, Portugal, and H and reme. ,, bering that it was approv e d c f b y a !a r t ' . e a portion of the connercial community, w hil e i t had beeng thoroughly investigated by a select committee of the other house, he lived the house would not be induced to adopt the amendment which the hon. member for Co ventry had moved. Mr. SPOONER admitted that it was essential that contracts should be speedily and economically enforced, but that did not prove the necessity fur the present m easure. The evil proposed to be remedied by this bill was imaginary, because Mr. Geach had shown • out of 240,000 bills oboe] had passed through hat a bank in Birmingham, y 30,000 were re. turned dishonoured, and of that nimhber the amount of loss did not exceed 2,0001. It could not be said, then, that bills of exchange were largely abused under the existing system ; but if they passed this bill the conse quence would be this—it would bleak up all the small traders of the country, who carried on business through the means of bills of exchange ; becau. , e, in the event of their requiring time upon any of their running hil a, they would 'be driven into premature bankruptcy if it was refu-ed. This measure would inflict great mischief upon the country by breaking up the circulation of bills of exchange, while it would enable the fraudulent debtor to give a preference to favoured creditors. Mr. WILSON supported the bill, and denied that it would have the disastrous operation, which its opponents seemed to fear. • Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR did not think that one class of creditors aught to have advantage over another, and as that would be the direct tendency of this bill, he would certainly entreat the house not to go into com mittee on this bill at this period of the session. The house then divided, when there appeared— For going into committee 56 Against it 3O mnj ))rity —26 The house then went into committee on the bill. Oil clause 1, Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR moved an amendment, with the view of providing that the bill should not come into operation until the 24th October, 1855, in order that the mercantile community might have due notice of the change in the law. Mr. GLYN .u;44ested that the better course to take would be to exempt al bills from the operati , m of the measure which are accepted before the 14 of next Jan. After some discussion, this suggestion was ad..pted. and the clau,e, as amended, was agreed to, as were also clauses 2 and 3. Mr. MASSEY moved the omission of clause 4, pro viding for the appointment of a registrar in the city, with the view of inserting , : these words—" The masters of the court of Common Pleas shall keep a register in the office of the masters of the court of Common Pleas for the registration of protested bills and promissory notes as hereinafter provided." After some discussion the Chairman was directed to report progress, and ask leave to sit again. The house then resumed. REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, &c. (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered, and agreed to. METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. REFORAATORIT SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. SALE OF BEER BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. SUPPLY. The report of the Committee of Supply was brough up and agreed to. CUSTOMS ACTS. • The report of the committee on the Customs Acts was brought up and agreed to. • _ _ The other 12 o'clock orders of the day were then dis• posed of, and the sittings were suspended at four o'clock The house resumed at 6 o'clock. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. BRIGHT, from a meeting of delegates of beersellers in Manchester, pray ing for an alteration in the laws regulating the sale of beer ; by Sir H. MEUX, from Cheshunt, in Hertford shire. against the opening of public.honses on Sunday ; by Mr. WM. BROWN, from Manchester, Haslington, Bacup, and itawtenstall, to the same effect ; by Mr. Alderman CHALLIS, in favour of closing public-houses on Sunday, from medical practitioners in Pentonville ; and by Lord D. STUART, from Paisley, praying that mea sures be taken to restore the independence of Poland, Hungary ( and Italy, and other nations, as the best means of permanently repressing the aggressions of Russia. THE CASE OF MR. JEREMIAH SMITH. Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to Mr. FREWEN, explained that the release of Mr. Jeremiah Smith, late mayor of Rye, Irotn prison, to which be had been sent on conviction of perjury, Lad been grante I on account of the precarious state of that person's health. TUE IRISH MAILS. Mr. V SCULLY inquired the cause of the great delay and irregularity in the delivery of each of the three mails which should have left Dublin for London at 1 p.m. and 7 p.in. on Saturday, July 29, and at 1 p.m. on Sunday, July 30 ; as well as of similar delays which had occurred during the present session ; and whether it was the practice not to despatch letters and papers from Dublin to London on the Saturday, but to hold them over until the following Sunday ? Mr. WILSON stated that nothing would be gained by the arrival of the Irish mail in London on Sunday when no delivery could take place —it was the usual course to bring over the whole of the mails by the latest packet on Sunday. It was in consequence of the bad weather the packet missed the train at Holyhead. THE APPOINTMENT OF MR. LAWLEY Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice of his intention to call the attention of the house to the circninstance, under which Mr. Lawle had been appointed Governor r of South Australia, and he asked the Government fo an early day for Ow purpose. Lord J. RUSSELL named Monday, but expressed a hope that more precise information would be given as to the object in view. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR, inquired whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to build a new gaiiery for the national collection of pictures ; and if so, whether the plans and designs for this gallery would he open to public competition, as iii the case of the New Palace at Westminster ; and whether it W 43 the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment to take measures to collect the whole of the ancient pictures belonging to the nation, such as the Minden Gallery, and others recently purchased, into the National Gallery in Trafagar-square ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. Darby Seymour, said that it was the intention of Government to propose to Pal hament to build a new gallery for the national collection of pictures, but the consideration of the subject was not sufficiently advanced to enable him to say whether the designs would be open to public coin petition. He entered into some explana tions reMpecting the newly-purchased Minden Gallery, and added that there was no intention to give the Royal Academy notice to leave the apartments hitherto lent them. The arrival of the pictures of the Minden Gal• lery had. been unavoidably delayed for some weeks, and they were at present deposited in one of the rooms in the basement - of the National Gallery. There were about 60 pictures in the collection, and it tvas not intended— for they were not worthy of it—to place the whole of them i❑ the National Gallery. Mr. Dyce had been for some time engaged in the examination of the collection, and his report would shortly be presented to the trus tees, stating which in his opinion were best adapted to form a portion of a national gallery. RUSSO-DUrca LOAN. - ---• Lord D. STUART called the attention of the house to the termination of all obligation on the part of this country, in consequence of the conduct of Russia, to continue to make any payments on account of the Rus so-Dutch Loan, and he moved a serf-s of resolutions, the effect of which was. that Russia, by her neglect to maintain at the Salina mouth of the Danube the works necessary to prevent obstacles. to its navigation, had vio lated the treaty cf Vienna and injured the commerce of this country ; that upwards of 4,000,0001. had already been paid towards the principal and fir the interest of the Russo Dutch Loan, and that 3,386,0001. more would be required ; and that, inasmuch as the convention of 1831 between England and Russia secured the payment to the latter part of her old Dutch debt, in consideration of her adhesion to the general arrangements of the Con gress of Viennas the withdrawal by Russia of that adhe sion made it proper to 'suspend the payments. His lord• ship supported these propositions in a speech of great length, most of it delivered to a house of consijerably fewer than forty members. Mr. DIGBY SEIr 4OUR seconded the motion. Sir W. MOLESWORTH resisted the proposition. For two centuries it had been the custom of civi lied nations to pay debts due to an enemy, the single exception being in the case of the Silesian loan, a had in which th e con d uc t o f the King of Prussia ad been pronounced to be contrary to the law of nations. If the Emperor of Russia bad money in cur funds at this time he would receive the div.deeds thereon, and there was really no difference between such a case .and that in question. The desired backsliding and departure from the rule dictated by the spirit of the age ought to be most strongly vindicated. He admitted the general violation of the treaty of Vienna, which, had we not been at war, would have been a casus &Ili, but neither that nor war would justify the required repudietion • and he contend e d th at th e Emperor of Russia had not committed the specific violation requisite to in validate our agreement, Sir William showed that we had purchased frorn the Netherlands, the Cape of Good H o p e , D e merara, Essequibo, and Berbice, on cond i ti on o f app lying a part of the purchase money purchased the assent money in the disch arge o f th e obligation in question ; and that in 1831 we h a d press of Russia to the new ar ran gement between Belgium and Holland, and that we were bound to continue our pay ments, except in the case of Ru-sia ceasing to concur in our policy in regard to those countries, a contingency which had not arisen. We were, therefore, engaged by treaties and acts of Parliament to fulfil our obligations ; and he made an eloquent appeal to the house to resist a propositien which would have come better from the obscure delegate of some bankrupt transatlantic state than the representative of a great metropolitan consti tuency. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR vehemently supported the motio n , controverting the arguments of Sir W. Moles worth, and contending that we ought to stand upon our strict rights. The ATTORNEY.GENERAL explained that Mr. Seyinou.'s energy was entirely thrown away, as he bad misconceived th e argumen t s o f Sir W. Molesworth. He briefly re-stat e d th e case, w hi c h h e characteii=ed as a perfectly c l ear and simple one. The d e bt did no t r est upon th e treaty of Vienna, and no i n f rac ti on o f th a t treaty could invalidate our liability. Lord D. 81 1-TA.RT replied, and said that be had effected his object, whi c h wa s t o p roc ure a discussion of the sultk.et. Mr. CAy LE y urged the withdrawal of the motion, against the character of whi c h h e s t ron ., ely protested. Mr.: PELLA . T T also urged Lord D. Stuart not to Lord D. STUART persisted, and the Speaker having had a second time to read the volini,inous resolutions, The house divided, and the numbers were— For the motion 5 Against it 57 Majority CAVALRY IN THE EAST. Mr. W. WILLIAMS rose to move for a return of the effective force of cavalry employed or now under orders for the East ; stating the number of regiments ; of officers, specifying their respective ranks in each regi ment ; the number of effective men and horses actually embarked, and of the general and sta'l' officers attached to the cavalry service, specifying the rank and names of the general officers, and of their staff. There had been a great deal of agitation in the public mind as to the disproportionate number of officers, as compared with the men, in the cavalry regiments sent to the East. There were on!y five men to every non-commissioned officer, and ten men to every officer it, commission. It was clear that the proportion of officers was excessive, and he made the motion in .order to eli it explanations. Tbere was also a large and disproportionate number of general officers in our cavalry service. The result was greatly to augment the expense, as compared with the efficiency, of our cavalry forces in the East. In the in fantry the proportion of officers to men was 1 to 25, and there was no reason why it should be greater in the cava ry. Mr. S. HERBERT said the return was one which the Government could not grant. There was no force in Europe conducted upon a principle so patent to the world as our army. The hon. member would see that his object could be obtained without asking for a return, the production of which would be prejhhei rl to the public service. It was true that there was a dispropor tion of officers to men, but the reason was that the men were too few, not that the officers were to() many, the cause being that in time of peace our cavalry regiments were kept up in a skeleton state. The Government were augmenting the cavalry, and by raising an addi tional number of men, he trusted that the disproportion of officers and men complained of by the hon. member would to a considerable extent be removed. He thought the adoption of the motion would he setting a precedent which the War-office of St. Petersburg would be very slow to follow. (Hear, hear.) Lord SEYMOUR, while he trusted the motion would not be pressed, complained that regiments were not made complete by a more perfect system of drafting from one to another. Mr. S. HERBERT explained that, as far as practic able, this system •of drafting was carried out. Colonel DUNNE thought a more mischievous return could not be asked for.• Government might as well furnish Russia with a return of the entire British army. (Hear, hear.) The motion of Mr. Williams was then negatived without a division. POST-OFFICE. Mr. EVELYN moved for copies of any communica tions which may have passed since the (234 cf February between the Treasury and the Post-office, relative to . the allegations contained in a petition (presented Feb. 15) from certain persons in the western division of the county of Surrey, praying for an inquiry into the cause of the non-delivery, in August, 1853, of thu notices of oljec tion to their votes, together with the report of any in vestigation which, by direction of the Treasury, had been made into the matter. wa M s o r r . d \ c„ V r l ed. LSON had no objection to the return, which THE PUBLIC HEALTH. Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved for leave to bring in a bill to make better provision for the administration of the laws relating to the public health. It was, he said, framed in conformity with the opinions expressed by the house on the preceding day. These he understood to be, that there ought to be a department charged with the administration of the Public Health act, of the Nui sances Removal Act, and which should also have the general charge of the health of the cluntry. The opinion of the house he further gathered to be that the Board of Health was not a good one for c Lrrying out these ob jeer's, and that there (right to be some one in that house responsible for the adniinistration of the law, and capable of explaining it, but that such administration should not become a portion of the duties of the Home office. He proposed to constitute the new board precisely as the Poor-law Board. was constituted Its presi.lent should have a seat in the house, and should have a secretary and an under-secretary. Tile superintending inspectors should be salaried officers of the board, and therefore incapable of t4king private work. He proposed to give Mr. Chadwick compensation to the amount of 1,0001 a year, and paid a tribute to the valuable services which had been rendered by that gentleman. After a few observations from Sir G. PECHELL, Lord SEYMOUR expressed his thanks to the Go vernment fur the proposed bill, which he believed would be satisfactorv, and he assented to compensation being granted to Mr. Chadwick. He thought, however, that the new act should be operative for a year only, and that an inquiry into the whole subject should be bad. Mr. HENLEY concurred in the observations of Lord Seymour, and thought the plan likely to be a good one. Lord J. RUSSELL expressed the willingness of Go vernment that the proposed inquiry should take place next session. Mr. NEWDECIATZ and Mr. DUNLOP expressed opinions in favour of local self government. Leave wa, given to bring in the bill. The Crime and Outrage (Ireland) Bill went through committee. The Militia Bill, No. 2, was advanced a stage, and amendments were introduced. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. METROPOLITAN SEWERS CO.11.11ISSION: A special ciurt of commissioners was hell yesterday at the chief office, Mr. R. Jell presiding. President— Sir J. Burgoyne, Sir C. Fellows, Mr. T. Hawes, Mr. George Baker, Mr. G. S. Smith, and Mr. L. Redhead. The Secretary reported that the available balance in hand was 29,287/. There were cheques to be drawn that day to the amount of 7,4451. 10s. ld. IMPROVEMENT RATE. Mr. George Hartshorn, the occupier of a house in Seymour-street, Euston-square, appeared to object to an nuprovement rate ordered to be levied on the pre mises for three, years, to defray the expenses of some iuprovements executed under the authority of the com missioners, and amounting to 211. He handed into the court a schedule containing eight objections to pay ing the rate, the chief of them being that he was liable under clause 88 of the Sewers Act for only one-fourth of the amount charged. He had paid a former rate, and had deducted three-fourths of it from his next payment of rent ; but - Mr. James, the landlord, denied his liability to pay any portion of the amount, and had sued for the whole rent due, and distrained upon his goods. He had brought an action against his land lord, which was now pending, and if he were called upon to pay a second rate he should be oblLmd to commence another action to recover it from Mr. James. He had been put to 401. expenses already. Mr. James, who was in attendance, said that he un derstood when he wts last at the court that he was not liable for any of this rate. A pretty warm altercation arose here betweet. the dispu - tants. Mr. James ex pressed a suspicio t that Mr Hartshorn was of " un sound mind;' and Mr. Hartshorn zeplying that there were two of them there. Toe Chairman stopped the dispute by peremptorily de ua s t i i r r i . ipatties, if th ey h a d any question to me thear Janes-chhe F' could not have been informedto put them thr o u g h the that he was not liable t o thi s rate, as t h e court had always refrained from e xpress i ng an O p i n i on as to t h e interpretation of the 88 t h c l ause. Th e comm i ss i oners ephetog, did not sit there to give advice, but to enforce the law. Mr. James was wrong to go to the expense of defending these actions ; for as his tenant paid a rack-rent he was entitled to claim back three-fourths of the whole rate from the landlord. The parties, however, must arrange that amongst themselves ; the court must order pay ment. Mr. Hartcihorn urgently requested the court to sue Mr. James, but was informed that the busit.ess must go on in the regular course. Both parties then withdrew. The Court directed orders to issue on vestry clerks for copies of pour rates as bases for district sewer rates. Sir J.

ELECTRICITY AND ITS USES : NEW DISCOVERY.—In the last humber of the Revue des Deux Mondes is an ex. cellent article, entitled •‘ L'Eleetricitd Ouvriere." by M. B abinet, member of the French Institute, enumerating the various elf cts already produced through the agency of electricit whether artistic, scientific , or industrial. The learn e d writer traces his subject through all its phases, physiological, philosophical, chemical, motive power, light, heat, telegraphic, smelting, and working of ores for the separation of rn tals, molecalaire action; electro•pla.ting, galvano plastic, &c. The wh01.,, article is one which every lover of electricity will read with pleasure, and does infinite credit to M. Babinet. At present the chief, and almost only means ern p!oyed in all the various uses to which electricity has been applied, is the Voltaic agency, which is of too troublesom e and expensive a character to admit of elec t, icity being more universally used than it i., and un doubtedly would be, were a cheaper and easier medium obtainable. We are confidently assured that this desi deratum is on the eve of consummation, ami that a newly-invented magneto-electric machine has lately been seen in operation in Onslow-square, Brompton, which, overcomes ail the difficulties hitherto felt, by produci ng . an immense quantity of fluid at little cost, and less trcu . ble. M an y sc i en tific persons who have s een th e machine speak highly of its astonishing powers and merits; and preilic! - . that through its agency electricity will assum e its high rank and proper position among the industrial agents of manufactures, trade, and commerce. We hope soon to lay before our readers a more detailed account of this important discovery. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS.--AUGUST 1. JEFFREYS V. BOOSE f.-THE LAW OF COPYRIGHT IN RELATION TO FOREIGNERS. This case came before their lordships on a writ of error from a deci.•ion of the Court of Exchequer cham ber, which court had overruled a decision of the Court of Exchequer, on a bill of exceptions to the ruling of the presiding judge at nisi pries in an action brought Mr. Boosey, a music -seller, against Charles Jefferys, another member, for infringement of copyright in a piece of music. A bill of exceptions was tendered to the ruling of the learned judge, anti a writ of error was brought in the Exchepier Chamber, which was argued after Easter Term, 1851, when the ecurt held that the direction of the learned judge was erroneous, and that there ought to be a new trial. The present writ of error was then brought, as against that judgment. Toe Lord Chancellor, at the termination of the argu ments, submitted the following questions for the consi deration and opinion of the learned judges ; namely, " F►rstly. Vincenzo Bellini, an alien, living at Milan, was possessed of a literary work in which, according to the laws of Milan, he had a certain copyright, the nature and extent of which did not appear, and lie on the 19th of February, 1831, by an instrument in writing of that saute dete, ❑ot executed io the pros nce of or attested by two witnesses, assigned his copyright to Giovanni Ricordo, which as , igninent was valid by the laws of Milan. Giovanni Ricordi come to this country, and on the 9th of Julie, IS3I, by a deed executed in the presence of, and attested by two witnesses, for a valuable consi deration, as-igne I his copyright to the dtfindant in error, his heirs, &c:, but only for puhlication in this country. Tile plaintiff in error, without any license from the defendant in error, published the said literary woik. Under these circumstances, did such a publica tion give a right of action to the defendant in error ? secondly—lf the assignment by Behind to Ricordo had been made by a deed attested by two witnesses, would that have made any and what difference ? "Thirdly—lf Bellini, instead of making an assign ment to Ricordo while lie was living at Milan, had made the assignment to the defendant in error at Milan in the same manner as he did to Ricordo, would it have made any and what difference ? ;.` Fourthly—lf the work had been printed and published at Milan before the asssignment to the de fendant in error, would it have made any and what difference ? " Fifthly—lf the work had been printed and pub lished at Miia❑ after the assignment to the defendant in error, but before pub ication in this country, would it have made any and what difference ? " Lastly—lt the assignment had not been 1 mited to puTdication in this country, would it have ma any and what difference ?" The learned judges, after taking time to consider, de livered their opinions seriatim. Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Erie, Mr. Justice Wi,tlittnan, Mr. Justice Mamie,. and Mr. Justice Coleridge, expressed the opinion that the publication in this country by Jeffreys, the plaintiff in error, gave the defendant in error, Boosey, a right of action against him, inasmuch as that the assignment of the copyright and property therein w..s a complete and valid assignment. Lord Chief 'Justice Jervis, the Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Parke, and Mr. Baron Alderson, intimated a contrary opinion. Theit:loi.dships then took time to consider the judg ment of the house, and this morning gave their deei 810ti.9. Tne Lord Chancellor, in delivering his opinion, stated the facts of the case, and the circumstances under which the action was brought, and proceeded to say that the question for their lordships' consideration was, whether the directiongiven by him when sitting at nisi prius, as a Baron of the Court of Exchequer, to the jury on the trial in that court, and which had been decided by the Court of Exchequer Chamber to be erroneous, was or was not correct. Their lordships had obtained the assistance of ten of the learned judges, to whom they were greatly indebted for their able and elaborate judg merits. Six of these judges were of Opinion that the copyright had been effectually assigned to the defendant in error, while f .ur of their lordships were of the con trary opinion. The in,jerity of the judges, therefore, were 01 opinion that his direction was wrong, arid that the Court of Exchequer Chamber was right in reversing his derision, and ordering a venire de novo. He should have been girel if he had not had to deal with his own direction to the jury, but he would not shrink from the duty now imposed on him, and he would proceed to support the opinion he had expressed in the court below. Copyright, or the exclusive right of multiplying copies of a work, was now regulated entirely by statute; the principal acts being the Bth Anne, c. 19, and the 53 , 1 George 111., c. 156, but the act of Anne was the only one ta which their attention need- be directed, as the 53d George 111. only provided for an extension of the time for which copyright was held. The preamble of the statute of Anne declared its object to be the en• couragement of the publication of useful books, and it granted to an author or his aisi A ns, the sole liberty of printing and publishing a work for a period of fourteen I years from the day on which it was first published. Tine question was whether the words of the statute re ferred only to British authors, or were applicable to the authors of any country. Inn his, opinion they re ferred to British authors only. The object of the statute was national, and the nrivilee• b es it conferred o n a • certain class of persons were intended f,-r the benefit of this country. What he meaht by this was, that it was applicable to all persons residing within the Queen's do minions, and owning allegiance to her ; and a foreigner residing in this country, arid composing arid pub• lisping a work here, was within the urea ing of the statute. Nay he w till go further, and say tila; if a foreigner came to this country with a work, and the day after he arrived published the work in this country, he would be within the statute. If the publication as an overt act took place in this country, a foreigner far that purpose was a British author, wherever the work might be c'imposed. This opinion he founded ou the general principle that the legislature in passing these statutes meant rrri,uk facie to legislate for British authors, beifl British subject only. II there had been authority aglinst him on this point he should have yielded to it, but no direct authority on the subject was to be found. His lordship then examined the difKrent cases which had been cited iii the course of tire argument, and showed that none of them hail any direct bearing on this case so as to be quoted as authorities to influence his decisi n. He therefore agreed with the minority of the four judges and he shout I move their lordships that the judgmeut of the Court of Exchequer be reversed. Lord Brougham, in a very elaborate and exhaustive judgment, expressed his connurrence in the opinion of the Lord Chancellor, and laid it down as clear that Bellini had no copyright in the work in qu6stion beyond his own territory, and that his assignee could take no thing which would benefit him in this action, and that a man holding a copyright in Milan had no copyright in the same work in Eugland. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT-IPSWICH, AUGUST 1. (Crown Side.—Before the Chief Justice.) A MAN OF FORTUNE TRANSPORTED. Mery Williamt :1111 enei'ht the intervaleghad mostof for feloniously assaulting M e a 2 r 7th of June, and Albert parish of Riugsfield, en th was also indicted for felo- Gar,od, another gentleman, the above William abetting, and assisting , Iti')uH'Y aiding' said felony. Huron,was indicted ct the ed The prisoners were was deferred till next morning. guilty, but sentence pissing sentence upon the prisoners, His lordship, in . d had patientlyelapsed said : During the e n tl both em a n tried oyf p Aronpne yesterday r ty and since their tr i al considered the evidence given yesterday, arid the punish theannxighhnitswlyhicalni defence in answer to the charge was, that the principal whom they had most scandalouily assaulted, was woman innt which must be the result of the inquiry, Their a woman of a light character, and that she hail wilfully and voluntarily submitted to the embraces of one of the prisoners on this occasion. Without giving any opinion aft _l 2 what were the merits or demerits of the charge, he ntriPl4.that there were circumstances in this case which satisfied him that the prosecutor's story had been con firmed, and that she was not, as the prisoners had at tempted to show, a woman of immodest character. He was sorry to say that there had been no want of the greatest exertions, either in the selection of the most able counsel, or expenditure of money, to procure and employ testimony for their defence to state that which was un true. He was grieved to say that, in his view of the case, they had aegravated their case considerably, for they had, no doubt, brought here one witness, at least. to state that which must be untrue, for the purpose of blackening the character of the prosecutrix. With the • verdict the jury had returned he quite concurred ; and, it was a cause for deep regret that men like the prisoners, of education and of apparent respectability, should be placed in their present position. H e should not he doing his duty if he were to pass a sentence upon them different to what he should pass upon two men in the humblest stage of life. Tie prisoners here made a long statement denying that they had given money to any of the witnesses to state that which was untrue. His lordship did not suppose that the prisoners had personally tak 'n any such step ; but his judgment must be formed upon the evidence brought before him, and the verdict of the jery. The sentence of the court was that Meen be transported for fifteen year,, and Garrod to two years imprisonment with hard labour. p () ol' S A ..1Z E IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

Flour at is 1d to 2s per 4 barrel over the rates of Tuesday last. Oats and oatmeal • ,sier to buy. Barley, beaus, and peas offered at a decline of 2d per Olbs and Is to 2s per qr., with little effect. Indian corn held at an advance of fully 3s per qr. IPSWICH —AUGUST 1. The supply of wheat was a mere nothing, many of the merchants not having th e o ff er o f a single sample. The trade evinced a decided firmness as con-pared with 1 104 2i• week, and the same descriptions of wheat realised is to 2e • per qr. more money than then. Hence the depressed state of the London inaiket has not influenced this to -day Beans dear, and the crop badly spoken of. PER QUARTER.
