wait reland conciiiated ? He would let 1848 and the ont- rages which preceded and followed it answer the ques tion. Had it even conciliated the Roman Catholics here ? The abominable assumption of titles by Roman Catholic ecclesiastics was the reply. At that time the Roman Catholics rose like one man—(oh, oh) —to defy the law. If the Government intended properly to go vern Ireland, they should govern it in such a way that Irishmen should be on equality with the rest of the kingdom. ( Cheers- from the Irish memlrrs) Hon. eq ia . lity. (Hear, members cheered when he spoke of hear.) He was sorry indeed that the religion of Roman Catholics condemned Parliament to impose restraints upon them—(a laugh)—it was not the fault of the legis ture, it was the fault of those to whom Roman Catholics gave blind allegiance. He was astonished that the noble lord the President of the Council (Lord J. Russell) should take the course he had upon this question, stand ing as he did in opposition to the whole weight of public opinion. As to the plea of the necessity of finding a place for educating priests, he would point out to the house that it was said in Irish newspapers that 50,0001. had been subscribed for a Free Irish Roman Catholic University. He said to the Roman Catholics, why did not they build this university and send their priests there to be educated ? By that means they would get rid of all these questions at once; they would then have no annual or other discussion. Mr. HEYWORTH disapproved of the manner in which this question was brought on. Had the hon. --ember (d r. Spooner) brought on a motion directly censuring the grant to Maynooth, he should have had his (Mr. Heyworth's) vote, but as it was he should vote against him. Mr. GARDNER should vote for the hon. gentleman who moved this resolution, although he felt very indig• nant at the speech with which he had proposed it, the reason of his support being that he objected to all grants whatever for religious purpeses. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the hon. members for Warwickshire were instruments raised up by Providence for the destruction of the Protestant Church as by law established. (Laugh ter, and hear.) He was surprised that the two hon. gentlemen did not see how absurd their, remarks were when the state of Ireland—with a Church Establishment, which it did not wan t, f orce d upon it—was c o ns id ere d . For his own part, nothing but the secularisation of the Irish Church revenues would satisfy hi m , an d h e be lieved that many hon. members thought with him, and that the day was not far dista n t w h en s t a t esmen would think so too. . The question was then put in the usual manner, and the house called for a division. The sand-glass was accordingly turned, in order to mark the time allowed for members to arrive in the house. The sand was nearly run out when _ Mr. BUTT rose, but his voice was instantly drowned in cries of "Divide." The SPEAKER said that he had not long since inti mated to the house that great inconvenience occurred through hon. gentlemen rising just as the sand was run out, and had intimated an opinion that it would be bet ter, when once the glass was turned, to consider the de bate closed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BUTT again rose, but was immediately assailed with such vehement cries of " Divide," " Oh," and " Chair," that he did not attempt to speak, apparently considering—and not without reason—that hon. gentle men would speedily weary themselves into silence. At length Mr. DRUMMOND rose to order. He wished to un derstand whether, by the statement which had been made from the chair, it was to be considered a rule that the debate was closed when the sand-glass was turned. The SPEAKER said that the rule had never been _ _ actually laid down in so many words, but when he called attention to the matter on a preceding occasion, his view seemed to meet with the general assent of the house. Mr. BUTT again rose, and.. after a time succeeded in obtaining a hearing. He considered that he was strictly in order in rising to address the house ; at the same time, after what had fallen from Mr. Speaker, he would not stand upon what he believed to be his strict rights. He had not been present when the intimation to which reference had been made from the chair was given, and hence he was in entire ignorance of such an understand ing ever having existed. (Cheers.) He trusted that this explanation would be satisfactory to the house. (Cheers.) Under any circumstances he would not have taken the course he had, had he not hoped that some member of the Government, even at the last moment, would address the house. (Cheers.) The house then divided— For Mr. Spooner's motion Against it Majority .--16 The result was received with loud cheers SUPPLY. ---- The house then went into a committee of supply. The following votes were agreed to :- 3,8751. for the University of London. 7.7101. for Universities in Scotland. 300/, for the Royal Irish Academy. 3001. for the Royal Hibernian Academy. Upon the vote of 2,6001. for theological professors at Belfast. Mr. WILLIAMS was not satisfied with this vote, in asmuch as he had understood that those allowances were all to have been merged. Mr. BRIGHT stated that when the question of the Irish Regium Donnm came on he intended to take the sense of the committee against it. The present vote was only an offshoot of it, but as it would be better to take the discussion vn the main question, he did not now make any objection, and be trusted his hon. friend (Mr. Williams) would also allow the vote to pass. There was the more reason for doing so as even if the decision of the committee should be against the Regiuni Donum, Government would not like to refuse it this year though they might do so hereafter. The vote was then agreed to. 2,259/, was granted for the Queen's University in Ire land. On the British Museum vote, 55,255/., Mr. A. PELLATT complained of the public being re stricted to three days a week for a lmission to this insti tution. The excuse was that it was necessary to give two days a week to the students, but he believed the attend ance of students was comparatively small. Mr. J. BALL expressed a hope that the question of the management of the Museum would be considered by, the Government, and that a radical reform of the existing system, which was replete with abuses, would result. It was not to be supposed that the 37 gentlemen who man• aged the Museum were enabled to devote that attention to the subject which was necessary, and the few on whom the management practically devolved, however talented they might be, did not always arrive at such decisions as were calculated to increase the efficiency of the insti tution. He complained especially of the refusal of the trustees to avail themselves of the offer of two valuable collections of English antiquities, notwithstanding the paucity of English antiquities in the Museum. He sug gested that the institution should be under the control of some officer of Government, who should be responsible. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE drew attention to the fact that a great many of the most valuable works in the li brary of the Museum were still in MS., and instanced those of Wicliffe. Mr. GEACH saw no more reason why the Museum should not be opened to the public six days in the week Lan the Crystal Palace. Mr. W. J. FOX concurred in the suggestion, but with a reservation that artists pursuing their studies at the Museum should be enabled to do so at hours when they would not be interrupted by the general public. He had heard it complained that the students of industrial art, for whom lectures had been provided in Jermyn-street, had not ready access to articles in the Museum to which reference was made in those lectures, and suggested that some arrangement should be made to obviaie this inconvenience. He also urged the importance of open ing the reading room at night, for the convenience of those young men who were engaged during the day in their ordinary avocations. 1 4 r- JAMES M'GREGOR expressed a hope that 'ter facilities would be given for the admission of the public. After a few words from Mr. BELL, Mr ' wilzoisT cculd assure the house from a con versation he had had With the right hon. member for Cambridg e (M r. rs, questioncilities tho owsre) p weekaeo, that the practicable to S afford greater fa the far ' ulltwas public for visiti the Museum had en gaged the attention of then te ss , Mr. EWART regretted that tbe .

Considering th e amount the e. tees had at their disposal this question of purchasing col lections of antiquities was one of great difficulty. The antiquities of every part of the world had its admirers. One society blamed them for not buying up all the mediaeval antiquities they could get, neglecting all others. Another was for those of Greece or Rome only ; a third for the Nineveh collection ; others were for the Anglo-Saxon ; and some again for American 'antiquities. Every country and every age furnished its claims, and every class of antiquities had its special advocates. Now it was obviously impossible for the trustees, with the limited sum they had at their command, to meet all those demands, and the only ques tion was how they could best secure those which it was most desirable the country should possess. Some collec tions, as those of Greece and Asia Minor, unless they were purchased by the trustees for th e M useum, would, in all probability, be lost to the nation altogether ; whereas others, as those of this country, if re f use d b y the Museum, would be likely to find a place in some provincial museum—as was_ i the case ces'ilection. He did not think, if the with the Forsyth matter were left to my one person appointed for the purpose, the decision would have been different. After a few words from Mr. J. BALL and Mr. EWART, Mr. 81NN-skIRD expressed a hope that the library of the British I\Juseuni would be opened in the evening, for the benefit of y ,fr men who could not attend at any other time. - "r ' Lord SEYMOUR said the question of opening the library in the evenings had been frequently mooted. It Bmust be remembered, however, that the library of the ritish Museum was different from a common lending brary. Its real value was not for persons who wanted to read the common books of the day, or of the last fifty years. There was scarcely any work of science, tory, or o f memoirs in Europe, which had not of his derived benefit from it. It should, therefore, be most open to renders of that class who came there to compile works, and who wanted assistance from books which were not Of ready access elsewhere. There ought to be other me tropolitan libraries of common books, where people could read when they pleased ; but to adroit persons .......-.---- in the evening, and let them send for any books they wanted out of 450,000 volumes, would be to incur great risk. (Hear, hear.) The officers must go about with lights, and put them down while looking for books, and this would of course be attended with danger. The object could only bo accomplished by putting aside a certain number of books to be read— an arrangement which would cause great dissatisfaction. When there was a new reading room, there would be much greater accommodation for readers; but he thought the department of printed books and the department of manuscripts were, as far as the public were concerned, the most useful parts of the British Museum. Sir D. NORREYS thought it desirable to make a good collection of British antiquities, in imitation of France. There was no place in the country where there could be found a collection of national relics. Mr. W. J. FOX said the books which he wished to see accessible in the evening were such as were to be found in other libraries. _ Mr. BELL wished to know when the new catalogue would be completed ? The present catalogues (five in number) were very imperfect, and much loss of time oc curred in looking for books. Lord SEYMOUI said these complaints were urged only by theorists and superficial readers. He had seve ral times called for books, and had them furnished to him in three minutes. Mr. EWART thought the library of the Museum should be lighted and opened by night. In his opinion there should be at least six great general district libraries in London. The vote was then agreed to. On the vote of 101,1421. to defray the cost of addi tional buildings at the British Museum, Lord W. GRAHAM asked whether Government had any intention of appointing a Royal commission to in quire into all those national establishments ? - Mr. WILSON replied in the negative. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR suggested the removal o the geological specimens to another place, with the view of enlarging the accommodation for the books. He asked whether there would be any objection to the pro duction of the report of Sir Charles Barry upon those buildings? Mr. WILSON said there would be no objection to the production of this report. Mr. A. PELLATT said he should persevere in his motion to postpone the vote. A division was called, but none took place, and the vote was agreed to.„ 1,5001. for the expense of transmitting ancient marbles from Assyria to this country was agreed to. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. On 7,490/. for the expenses of the National Gallery, Lord W. GRAHAM inquired whether a salaried direc tor was to be appointed this year. Was there any diffi culty in finding a properly qualified person for the office? There was a report that an eminent German professor was to be appointed. Mr.WILSON said the subject was under the immediate consideration of the First Lord of the Treasury. An appli cation had been made within the last fortnight from the trustees of the National Gallery for the appointment of such an officer, and he believed it was the intention of the Government to appoint one in a few days, if a proper per son could be found. There was no truth in the rumour of the appointment of a German professor. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR. said there was another vote for the National Gallery in the miscellaneous estimates. Why was it not included in this vote? It was a sum of 27,0001. for additional land at Kensington Gore for the building of a National Gallery. For the first time they had heard officially that there was to be a n Ltional gallery at Kensington Gore ; and if it was intended to carry out the second report of the Commissioners of the Great Exhibition, such a gigantic plan would lead to an expense pf one or two millions. That vote should have been put under the head of the National Gallery, and not in the miscellaneous estimates. The hon. gentleman then adverted to the in convenience of having the Gallery of Ancient Masters and the Vernon Gallery in separate buildings ; and he urged that the Royal Academy should be removed from the building at Trafalgar-square, and that that building should be appropriated to the national collection. Mr. WILSON suggested that the first point alluded to by the hon. gentleman should be deferred till they came to the vote. The 27,0001. for the ground at Kensington Gore was only a continuation of the vote of last year, addi tional land being necessary. With regard to the Vernon Gallery, that collection was left to the nation on the con dition that it should be kept as a separate gallery, and her Majesty had allowed it to be placed at Marlborough-house. He believed the public was satisfied that it should remain where it was. (No ) It was not convenient to remove it at present. He believed the public would be sorry to part with the annual exhibition of the Royal Academy in Trafalgar-square. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR said that when the land at Kensington Gore was purchased for 150,00C1., Mr. Disraeli distinctly stated to Mr. Hume that he took it for the pur poses of the Royal Commission of the Great Exhibition, and he did not pledge himself that it would be used for a national gallery, and.the vote passed on that understanding. The Vernon Gallery was only temporarily at Marlborough house. Why should it not be removed to a more convenient place at Trafalgar-square. There was no chance of losing the exhibition of the Royal Academy, for it, brought in 7,0001. a year, although they had agreed, when public rooms were assigned to them, that the public would be admitted to the exhibition gratis. It was also said that they had accumulated a sum of 110,0001., which was con trary to the terms of their charter. The whole question of the Royal Academy ought to be looked into, and he hoped that in the next session some move would be made in the matter. After some few observations from Mr. EwanT and Mr. PELLATT, Lord W. GRAHAM said that he saw a sum of 2,800/. assigned to certain German pictures. Were they only curiosities, or wore they calculated to serve the purposes of real art? Mr. WILSON said that was the object. They were pic tures of a very rare description. Mr. DRUMMOND complained that year after year large sums were voted for public buildings, which were at an expense far below what any private gentleman would have to pay for similar buildings. He was surprised that, considering all the inquiries which had been made on the subject of pictures, that they hail not heard what had be come of the pumice-stone—(laughter)---and whether the pictures which were just brought were to be treated as all the others had been treated. (Hear, and laughter.) There had been a committee on the subject, and he saw his noble friend the chairman of it present, who could no doubt give the house some information on the matter; the report of the committee showed that it was most unwise to go on buying pictures and leaving them in such hands as the others had been. No private gentleman would continue to buy pictures and leave them in such hands. The vote was agreed to. 2,0201. for scientific works and experiments and mag netic observations ; 5001. to provide suitable rooms for the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society were agreed to. The next vote was 11,2501. for the mixed commission for the suppression of the slave trade. Sir G. PECHELL hoped that the Government would keep up the squadron on the coast of Cuba in au efficient state, so as to give the slave trade, which the Spanish Government for the first time seemed anxious to suppress, a final blow. He had seen it lately stated that six cargoes of slaves had been landed in Cabs, amounting to 2,100 Africans. The next vote was 136,8651. for consular establishments abroad. Mr. WILLIAMS said that amongst the items in this vote he observed the sum of 4,0001. for consuls at Russian ports; he should like to know if these were still to be maintained? There were also charges for consuls at Cologne, Frankfort, Paris (where we had an ambassador and a complete diplomatic establishment,) Madrid (of which the same might be said), Naples, Patras, Athens, Cincinnati, and other places, our trade with which was a mere bagatelle. He contended that all these charges were unnecessary, and a waste of public money, and that the appointments were made for the purposes of patronage. In answer to Admiral PECHELL, Lord PALMERSTON said the Government were un ceasing in their endeavours to obtain from Spain the due execution of the treaties for the suppression of the slave trade, and considerable impression had been made at Madrid on the subject. The orders of the Spanish Go vernment, which had hitherto been invariably disobeyed at the Havannah, were now better attended to, and he entertained the hope that experience would show that the slave trade of Cuba would be materially diminished, if not entirely annihilated. With regard to the objections of the hon. member for Lambeth, he could only set his opinion against that of his hon. friend, and he was satis fied that his hon. friend's judgment was formed upon very light and erroneous grounds. In all the places his hon. friend had mentioned, the consular officers were necessary, and as to the salaries, they were in most cases no more than was required to enable the officers to keep up that decent appearance which was essential for the due per formance of their duties, and the credit of the country to which they belonged. Capt. SCOBELL said that no answer had been given with respect to the Russian consuls. Mr. WILSON said that though the duties of these officers were now temporarily suspended, they were still public officers, and it would be very hard indeed to say that their salaries should be stopped altogether. (Hear, hear.) They would not receive the full amount of salary after a certain time. • Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR observed that the salaries of the consuls in China amounted to 31,0001. He wanted to know if they were allowed at the same time to trade in China, because if that were allowed they would have a atri:toynogf interestth Empienros r ll . ppO T T h t e i supporting result the wouldrebels againstßrobab probably the a s u t t b h a o t - FeeZevtiloeuledasleeaidu tßhteircmoaubn.tryHientoboaarwdairtwsittahteCdhbinyap, earssloiands 11 aut hority abroad that they wou ld ultimatel y be engaged in war with China, and that their ea stern em p ire would not b e ft b 4. e till th ey had pen etrated to Pekin.

This year there was an increase of 3,000/. in 'There was a number of allowances on loss of office and re ductions, and he thought that those persons ought to be appointed to fill vacant offices rather than that persons should be appointed to office for the first time. He scarcely saw any person who was restored to office except Sir Alex ander Spearman. Mr. WILSON was quite ready to admit the force of the observations of his right hon. friend, bat he should re , mind the house that the question of superannuations was fixed by act of Parliament, and the money paid was not out of the public money at all, but out of the contribu• THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVPINING-, JULY 4, 18 1 tions paid by the employjs ; and at the present moment there was in fact a great question among them whether the superannuations ought not to be larger or the contri butions smaller. Mr. W. WILLIAMS observed that in one case a clerk retired at the age of 61. His salsa y was 1,0001., and his re tiring allowance 9161. Captain SCOBELL said he found that about 150 per sons had been put on the retired list for 110 other reason than a reduction in the establishments, and the allowances to these clerks were far beyond the pensions of admirals and generals. Lord NAAS asked when a decision would be come to with regard to the claims of the civil service? Mr. WILSON said that was an important question, be cause the public servants felt, whether rightly or not was another matter, that their contrijsutiona to the superannua tion fund were too large, but it should be borne in mind that, as in the case of an insurance office at a particular period, the claims would increase. The whole question, however, was now under the consideration of Mr. Fin laison, and he hoped in a few days to come to some decision on the subject. The vote was then agreed to. The following votes were then agreed to without remark : —2,561/. for Corsican and Toulonese emigrants, and Ame rican loyalists, &c. ; 2,210 1 . for the Vaccine Establishment ; 3251. for the Refuge of the Destitute, and 4,2001. for Polish refugees and distressed Spaniards. The next vote was 4,4691., for miscellaneous charges, formerly defrayed from the civil list. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that nearly all the items in this vote were objectionable. Mr. WILSON gave some explanations, which were not heard in the gallery. but were apparently satisfactory. Mr. A. PELLATT wished to know where the French refugee clergy were now performing their duties, or whether they were really in existence. Mr. W. WILSON—They were performing duties, one was at Southampton and another at Jersey. The vote was then agreed to. 1,3521., for the support of the Foundling Hospital, Dublin. Mr. WILLIAMS objected also to this vote. He did not see why there should be hospitals of the kind main tained in Ireland at the public expense. There was no thing of the kind done in England and Scotland. He gave notice to divide on the vote the next year, if it was brought forward ; as well as on all the other votes of the same description. Lord NAAS said the sum voted was for the maintenance of persons who had been in an institution which was abolished on the passing of the poor law. The great hos pitals in London were supported by endowments given by the State years ago ' otherwise they could not, even in this great City, exist. It had been proved that the medical school of Dublin could not exist Without this grant ; and the committee on the subject had expressed a hope that these grants would not be withheld. The report of the committee was most favourable to these grants, and he wished the Government would postpone the grants until the reports were taken into consideration. Mr. MITCHELL was for having relativejustice done to Ireland. There was only 2001. for vaccine institutions granted to Ireland, whereas there was a grant of 2,0001. to England for the same purpose ; though vaccine matter was obtainable for nothing in England, whereas it had to be bought in Ireland. Mr. WILLIAMS maintained that the Vaccine Estab lishment was not to be compared with the Foundling Hos pital. All the charities in London were supported not by the State, but by voluntary contributions. Lord NAAS said St. Thomas's and St. Bartholomew's were supported by lands regulated by the Crown at the period of the Reformation. Mr. WILLIAAIS said these grants were from the Church lands, the same as the estates of the nobility of England. Colonel DUNNE thought after the vast sums granted for the National Gallery and other metropolitan institu tions, it was not justice to refuse a pittance to the misery of Dublin. Mr. BRIGHT said a good deal of this discussion was in the dark, and he suggested that one or more committees should be appointed at the opening of the next session to examine into and revise the estiinales. The miserable explanations given from the Treasury bench were always unsatisfactory. Mr. VANCE said it would be desirable not to proceed on these votes until the report of the committee was be fore the house. That committee was chiefly composed of English members, and they had nearly unanimously come to a decision to increase these grants, though the majority were English members. Mr. V. SCULLY could not see the great advantage of the Vaccine Establishment, when so much money was spent on English officials. These Dublin hospitals were national institutions, which were of general benefit to the country. Lord J. RUSSELL, with regard to the suggestion of the hon. member for Manchester, said that some years ago a committee had reported on the miscellaneous estimates, but until the report of the committee had been received on this subject the Government could not propose any altera tion or increase in this particular estimate. He trusted that the present vote would be agreed to. Mr. BRIGHT said he had been on a committee on offi cial salaries with the noble lord, which made recommenda tions which would have effected a saving of 75,0001. a year, and yet the noble lord had not sought the change recommended. (A laugh.) What he (Mr. Bright) desired wag, a committee which should revise the estimates annu ally, with functions something like those exercised by the railway hoard. Mr. GROGAN contended that the evidence on which the committee had recommended the reduction of these grants was almost nil. Such was the feeling of the noble earl, now Foreign Secretary, but formerly Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland, with regard to the importance of these hospitals, that notwithstanding the report of the commit tee, he prevailed upon the Treasury to continue them on the reduced scale. (Hear.) The vote was then agreed to. The votes, 11,5591. for the House of Industry; 5001., Female Orphan House ; 1,2151., 'Westmoreland Lock Hos pital ; 5001., expenses of the Lying-in Hospital, and 795/. for Dr. Steovens' Hospital ; 1,9001. for the House of Re covery of the Fever Hospital; also a vote of 2501. for the Hospital of Incurables, were agreed to. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the house resumed. The Poor Law Board Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. The Union Charges Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. The Indemnity Bill was read a third and passed. The Insurance on Lives (Abatement of Income Tax) Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. On tho motion for the General Board of Health Bill going through committee, Mr. WYSE objected to the Speaker leaving the chair, as he intended to move that the bill be road that day six months. If the house were desirous of going on with the measure—as it was a matter of importance to his parishion ners (laughter)—he meant his fellow-parishioners (renewed laughter)—ho was prepared to go on with his objections. (No, no.) Sir W. MOLES WORTH would defer the bill till Thurs day, at 12 o'clock. On the motion for the second reading of the Episcopal nd Capitular Estates Management Bill, Mr. A. PELLATT said he objected to the second read ing, and would oppose it at every stage. He begged to move it be read that day six months. The house weie about to divide, when it was discovered that there was no one but Mr. Pellatt against the bill, so that there could be no teller. This fact being declared, amidst great laughter, the division did not take place, and the bill was read a second time. TOWNS IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for Ireland moved the third reading of this bill. Lord NAAS said there must be some discussion on the amended clauses, and it could hardly be taken to-night. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. YOUNG proposed taking the third reading then, and postponing the discussion until the question that the bill do pass. Mr. I. BUTT said this was Scarcely possible. The bill was postponed. USURY LAWS REPEAL BILL. On the order for the second reading of this bill, Mr. CHRISTOPHER objected, in the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) PUBLIC STATUES BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. BRIBERY BILL. This bill was postponed. COMMON LAW PROCEDURE BILL. This bill was postponed. YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS BILL. This bill was likewise postponed. VACCINATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. On the order for the sec on d rea di ng of this bill, Mr. BRADY objected that the legislation on the subject was extremely imperfect and unsatisfactory. He should propose amendments accordingly. Bill read a second time. PUBLIC LIBRARIES ACT. This bill was read a third time and passed. BENEFICES AUGMENTATION BILL. This bill was postponed. MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL. This bill was read a third time. On the question that it pass, Mr. GEORGE said he hoped its operation would not bo postponed (as was now proposed) until August. Mr. J. O'CONNELL particularly dwelt on the subject of protection to deck passengers. Mr. CARDWELL said there was especial provision for deck passengers. As to the time of its coming into opera tiou, the complexity of its details required some interval for preparation. Seveial verbal amendments having been agreed to, the bill was passed. The Lords' amendments to the Church Buildings Acts Amendment Bill were considered, and agreed to. The Linen, &c., Manufactures (Ireland) Bill and the Turnpike Acts Continuance (Ireland) Bill were read a third time, and passed. The Lords' amendments to the Witnesses Bill were con sidered, and agreed to. Mr. WILSON obtained leave to bring in a bill to con tinue an act of the 12th year of the reign of her present Majesty for amending the laws relating to savings banks in Ireland. Mr. GROGAN obtained leave to bring in a bill for the regiertratlon of bills of sale (Ireland). Mr. FITZROY obtained leave to bring in a bill to au thorise the enclosure of certain lands, in pursuance of the report of the Enclosure Commissioners for England and Wales. • • 4... ~..•• Mr. CARDWELL obtained leave to bring in a bill to allow gold wares to be manufactured at various standards. Lord PALMERSTON moved for leave to bring in a bill (No. 2) to regulate the police of counties. Mr. CHRISTOPHER said the noble lord withdrew his former Police Bill in deference to those members who re presented towns. He hoped the noble lord would pay the same consideration to those members who represented the rural interest. If the noble lord desired to place the polieJ all over England on the same footing, the charge ought to be thrown on the Consolidated Fund.

Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from a place in Scotland against the Scotch Bankruptcy Bill. Lord BROUGHAM repeated that the measure was supported by the great majority of the mercantile classes in Scotland. The Earl of CHICHESTER presented a petition from Lewes against the employment of dogs in drawing carts. - CRUELTY TO ANIMALS BIL Lord ST. LEONARDS, in moving the second read ing of this bill, said its object was simply to extend the present law against the use 'of dog-carts, which was applicable only to the metropolis to all parts of the country. The Earl of EGLINTOUN was sorry to differ from his noble and learned friend as to the necessity of the bill, which he considered was a piece of over legislation. He never yet heard a case mentioned, on authority, of a dog having gone mad in conse quence of being used in drawing carts. He moved that the bill be read a third time this day three months. Lord BROUGHAM considered that, as dogs were not designed by Providence for the purposes of draught, it was an act of cruelty to employ them in carts. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER tendered his thanks to Lord St. Leonards for introducing the bill. If the present law were allowed to remain, it ought to be ap plied to all the country districts, where the nuisance of dog-carts was more felt than even it was formerly in London.

The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. A. HASTIE moved as an amendment to clause 4, that the time for giving notice of valuation under the bill should be extended from the 15th to the 31st of August. The committee divided, when there appeared, ' For the amendment. Against it 39-24 The amendment was consequently lost, and the clause was agreed to. Mr. DUNLOP moved the following proviso at the end of clause 5 : —Provided also, that when lands and heritages are subject to a feu duty or ground annual, the proprietor shall be entitled to relief from the superior or the party in right of the ground annual, and to deduction from the fe._l duty or ground annual payable by him, of such proportion of all assessments laid on according to the valuations made under this act, which, in so far as effairs to such feu duty or ground annual, such proprietor is not by contract or o bli ga ti on in his titles, or by law, liable in payment of, and that without relief, as shall correspond to the amount of such feu duty or ground annual as compared with the amount of the valuation of such lands and heritages under this act." After some discussion, the committee divided, when there appeared For the proviso Against it 52 Majority.... The proviso was accordingly lost. Clause 5 was agreed to ; as were also clauses from 6 to 14 inclusive. On clause 15, Mr. CRAUFURD moved an amendment with the view to abolish distinctions of property brought to valua- tion.

THE ALLEGED DEATH FROM A SURGICAL OPERATION. The Wheatsheaf Inn, Kenton-street, having been found insufficient for the accommodation of the jury, the barris ters, and the vast crowds of medical men who have mani fested an interest in the proceedings, the adjourned inquiry , yesterday was held in the Court of the Sheriff of Middle sex, Red Lion-square. Elizabeth Russell, a nurse in King's College Hospital, said she was one of the assistant nurses of the Royal Free Hospital when the operation was performed upon the de ceased child. Anne Faulkner, the day nurse, took the child from the ward to the operating room. Soon after 1 o'clock it was brought back, and taken in again before two. She heard Mr. Weedon Cooke and Mr. T. Wakley speaking •about having the operation. Mr. Wakely thought he had a right to the case, as it came in on Tuesday, but Mr. Cooke held that it was brought in upon the Friday, and he con sidered that it was his case. Eventually it was settled for Ur. Cooke to have it. Mr. Scobell was present at the time. The child was brought back to the ward after the opera tion, about four o'clock. The nurse (Faulkner) said she thought the child would have died before it came out of the theatre. She threw it on the bed, and said it would be a good job when the little devil was dead, and shook it. There was very little consciousness about the child. It rallied a little before it died. The witness was subjected to a severe cross-examina tion by Mr. Seijeant Wilkins, in the course of which much impatience was manifested by the jury. The learned serjeant commented upon this, and added that it was not the first time certain members of the jury had acted so discreditably. . . Witness proceeded to say that after the operation Mr. Cooke and Mr. Scobell paid great attention to the child, that they visited it frequently at its bedside, and gave it wine and other refreshments. She admitted she had quar relled with Anne Faulkner, and considered she had been ill-used by her. By Mr. Clarkson—Mr. Cooke's conduct to the patients was always kind and attentive. Mr. James Henry Crump, clerk to Mr. Evans, the solici tor, whose name has been mentioned, said he had never told Mr. Brent or Mr. Wakley that the parents had al tered their minds, and would allow the inquest to be put an end to, nor anything to that effect. What he said when he went with Mr. Brent to Mr. Wakley was, that Mr. Evans would not give up the original document, but would pro duce it whenever it might be required. Cross-examined by Mr. Parry—He knew that Richard son had signed a paper, putting off the inquest ; and he knew also that Newman, the other clerk, had conveyed it to the coroner. Mr. Evans saw Richardson after he (wit ness) and Mr. Brent had visited him. It was after this interview that Mr. Evans sent him to Mr. Wakley, with the message about not giving up the original document. When he called upon Mr. Wakley he thought he said he should come round again. Witness knew that Evans had received money, but he did not know how much. The Foreman (to Mr. Parry)---I wish you to ask proper questions. Mr. Parry, addressing the foreman, said—Sir, I beg to say that I think you are utterly incapable of judging what questions it is right for me to put. I would not have made this remark, but that I feel that you have prejudged this case, and are determined not to have an impartial in quiry. The Foreman said—Mr. Parry had misunderstood the nature of his objection. Mr. Parry remarked that it was a curious fact that the jury never misunderstood Mr. Ballantine. There was a great deal of prejudice on the part of the jury, and he (Mr. Parry) was unfortunately on the wrong side. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—He did not know how Mr. Evans came to be engaged in this case. He knew Mr. Gay (the surgeon who was dismissed from the Royal Free Hospital a few months since), and has seen him at Mr. Evans's office. Mr. Evans was Mr. Child's attorney, but he was not aware that Mr. Child was one of Mr. Gay's committee at the late affair at the Free Hospital. At the suggestion of Mr. Bodkin, who thought witnesses should be asked something about the parcel of money which was given to Richardson at Mr. Evans's office, Mr. Ballantine examined him upon this point. Witness said he gave him the 20 sovereigns by Mr. Evans's direction the day before the inquest. They were wrapped up loosely in an envelope, which had been used. Richardson called and asked for Mr. Evans. Witness found that Mr. Evans had two gentlemen with him. Mr. Evans, on being informed that Richardson was there, said " Give him this." Richardson said, " Thank you," and added that he would call again. By Mr. Serjeant Wilkins.—No man could doubt on taking the envelope in his hand that it contained money. Mr. Edward Headland Greenhough examined—l am a physician, and reside at 77, Upper Berkeley-street, Port man-square, next door to where Mr. Cooke, the surgeon, lives. I was invited by Mr. Cooke to see this operation for lithotomy. I have not stated my evidence to any solicitor on either side. I arrived with Mr. Cooke at the hospital about 2 o'clock, and found the child on the operation table. Mr. Cooke first removed a tumour from a girl's arm, which I should think took 20 minutes. While that was going on the child was removed and then brought in again. Mr. Cooke first sounded the child, and then, I think, Mr. Wakley, jun., and Mr. Gant sounded the child. It was not then under chloroform. After it was put under chloroform Mr. Cooke began to operate. Mr. Cooke first used his finger and then the forceps. He said he once held the stone between the blades of the forceps. During the operation Mr. Cooke had several consultations with Mr. Wakley Attempts were again made to sound for the stone, and the gentlemen listened for the sound of stone. I was one of those who listened, and I should say the sound grated against a hard rough surface. The os sacrum would not come within the definition of a hard rough surface, unless it was denuded. We listened by ear and by stetho scope, and both Mr. Cooke and Mr. Wakley examined the child repeatedly after that. Mr. Cooke introduced the forceps, and Mr. Thomas Wakley introduced his finger and the knife I suppose for the purpose of extending the inci sion. After that Mr. Cooke again used the forceps. (A pair of forceps was introduced to the witness.) That in strument is twice or thrice the size of the instrument used. After Mr. Cooke had used the forceps some time, he turned round and asked Mr. Wakley to extract the stone. Mr. Cooke was, no doubt, embarrassed at his repeated failures to extract the stone, but I marvelled, all things considered, at his coolness throughout the operation. When he asked Mr. Wakley to search for the stone, Mr. Wakley introduced his finger, and the impression on my mind was that he also introduced the forceps. That is my impression still. lam perfectly certain that Mr. Wakley made use of an instru ment which at the time I believed was the forceps, aril still believe it. At that time I had moved round to the head of the table, or I should have been wore positive. I had become uneasy about the state of the child, and moved round to the head of the table to feel its pulse. Mr. Wakley's manipulations upon the child did notA After rt mr. be- . yond five or ten minutes at the very ou tside. Wakley had failed to extract the stone a syringe was i b n r t o o u g t b h e t , w a o n u d u t d w . o o p r u t r h i n r e g e t o b t e m ounces of interval fl u of i d were send l n l a g t r f o o d r ll C e the cl syringe the syringe was sent for it seemed the child recovered partially from the influence of the chloroform.

I,„ m perfectly certain that Mr. Wakley jun., did use the knife to the wound. By Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—Whether Mr. Wakley made a ny incision with the knife I cannot say, but I am positive that he passed the knife with his finger into the wound. At the conclusion of this witness's evidence the investi gation was adjourned till this day. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS-JULY 3. CONSOLIDATED CHARGES BILL.

TATTERSALL-'S —MONDAY. The business that Ras transacted afforded little room for comment. Hungerford maintained his lead for the Liverpool Cup, but was closely pressed by Heapy. Dr. O'Toole was backed for some money at 8 to 1, and Talfourd was in force at 20 to 1. The betting on the Goodwood Stakes showed Diana to be in the ascendant, and that renewed confidence was placed in Tros. Heapy obtained some support at 10 to 1, and a small outlay indicated that some hope was somewhere entertained of the notorious Nancy. The principal bets on the St. Leger were 3 to 1 to upwards of 2001. about Dervish, and 6 to 1 t 3 a good deal of money about the Trapper. For the Derby Oulston was backed at 15 to 1, Bonnie Morn and Dirk Hatteraick at 20 to 1 each, Strood .1 30 to 1, and Dr. Cooke, a new outsider, at 33 to 1. Moon beam, colt, backed for upwards of 5001. at Stockbridge at 30 to 1, receded to 40 to 1 (taken and offered). 50 to 1 was laid to 1001. agst Rambling Katie, and 2,500 to 25 agst her winning Derby and Oaks. The prices at the close were as follows : NEWMARKET JULY STAKES. sto 2 on Bonnie Morn. WORCESTERSHIRE STAKES. 6to 1 agst Knight of St. George (taken).

SAMUEL BEETON. —We regret to an nounce that this event took place somewhat suddenly last Sunday morning. By a very extensive circle of friends and acquaintance Mr. Beeton was held in the warmest regard for his practical benevolence, cordial sentiments, and strict sincerity. In the sporting world he occupied a very prominent position—the strongest testimony of the zeal with which he espoused the inte rests of the turf being in the establishment of the Great Metropolitan Stakes, and in the general tuccas4 of the Epsom Spring Meeting.
