c.VIPERIAL PARLI AAIE N T. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY3 The LORD CHANCILLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. LIVERPOOL ASSIZES. In reply to - Lord CAMPBELL. The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that in con• tequence of his communication to the Mayor of Liver pool respecting the removal of they s izes from St. et. e orge's-hall to the old courts formerlsed, that lune tionary bad arrived in London and communicated to him the particulars of the alteration. The Mayor stated that the only reason for the removal was, that the smell of paint and the scaffolding occaeonut by . the deco rations now in progress i n St. George hall ren dered it impossible for the courts there to be used during the present assizes. and that the removal had nothing whatever to do with the visit of her Majesty, or the forthcoming meeting of the British Association The Mayor also stated that the old courts had been put into a comfortable state, and that, in addition, two or three rooms at the town-hall had been offered for the use of the bar and other persons attending the asAzes. In reference to the assertion of Lord Campbell on a former occasion, that the cholera hal generally raged in the neighbourhood of the old courts, the noble and learned lord said the Mayor had it& brined him that the town was never in a healthier state than at present. Lord CAMPBELL said within the last few hours he bad received a telegraph message from Liverpool, men tioning that the existing state of St. George's -hall would interpose no difficulty whatever in the way of occupying the courts during the present assizes. Lord BROUGHAM thought there was a great wa nt of management in commencing the decorations at a time when the assizes were about to be held. He entirely concurred with his noble and learned friend as to the unfitness of the old courts for the assizes. After a few words from the Earl of HARROWBY and Lord BROUGHAM', the subject dropped. MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL. On the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLY, this bill was read a third time and passed MERCHANT SHIPPING 'ACTS REPEAL BILL. This bill was also read a third time and passed. VALUATION OF LANDS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill passed through committee: STANDARD OF GOL D AND SILVER WARES BILL. This bill was read a second time. BOROUGH RATES BILL. The bill passed through committee. SALE OF BEER, &c., BILL. The Earl of HARROWBY, in moving that the bowie go into committee on this bill, stated that there were two or three amendments which he proposed to intro duce, but of which he would give notice, and move on bringing up the report. Lord BROUGHAM suggested that it might be con venient if his noble friend would state at once what was the nature of those amendments. The Earl of HARROWBY said the object of the hill was to impose restrictions beyond those imposed by the existing law on the consumption of liquors in public houses on the Lord's Day, and the measure so far as the limit proposed on the hours during which such heusee might remain open on the Sunday morning, had, he be lieved, received the approbation of all parties, as being calculated to promote morality and order. In Scotland, under a recent act, such places were closed altogether on the Lord's Day, and though a law going to that ex tent might interfere somewhat with our notions of liberty, he believed that act had given universal satisfac tion in the country where it was in operation, and it was proposed by this bill to follow that example to a certain extent iu England, but to allow houses of entertainment •to be-open during part of the day to enable the working classes to obtain beer, and such refreshments as they might require. It hal, however, been suggested by per sons engaged in the trade, that the object of the measure might be answered by the adoption of somewhat less severe restriction ; and that by allowing the houses to remain open for a somewhat longer period the public would be subjected to less inconvenience than if the bill remained in its origival stringency. Communications had been held between the promoters of the bill and cer taro persons conne-sted with the Licensed Victuallers • Protection Society upon the subject of the restriction it would be desirable to introduce, and, in consequence of those communications, the hours during which puhlic houses should be open had been fixed at front 1 to 2 in the middle of the day, and from 6 to 10 in the evening. Subsequently some qnestions had arisen whether that was sufficient, especially in reference to houses in the suburbs, and, on further consideration, be was not sure whether-it would-not be desirable to extend the hours for remaining open from 1 to half-past 2 in the middle of the day to- enable the working claSses to obtain their dinner beer, and that in the evening whether it might not. be well to allow the hours to open at 5 instead of 6, in or. der to provide for the convenience of persons who made excursions into the country, and who might require re freshments. It had been further represented to him that the closing hour of ten would be impracticable in the suburbs of London in those public places and gardens where thousands of persons sometimes assembled in the summer, the difficulty being to get rid of them at so early an hour. (Hear, hear.) He believed, however, there would be no objection to the service of refreshments being closed at 10, provided the -premises were allowed to be kept open until 11. This, he believed, would sa tisfy all parties, and tend to the public convenience. He admitted that the question was one extremely difficult to deal with, tut be trusted the alterations he had indi • sated would attain the object he bad in view, and, whilst tending to the proper observance of the Lord's Day and the promotion of social order, would not trench upon the comforts and conveniences of the people, and of the working classes in particular. (Hear.) Lord BROUGHAM would regard with great satis faction the relaxations which his noble friend proposed to introduce into this bill—(hear)—believing, as he did, that they would in' a great degree obviate the main ob jections to it. He meant no offence to the authors of -the bill, when he declared his repugnance to this kind of legislation, which pressed on one- great body of the community and did not press at all upon the others. (Cheers.) And that repugnance was the greater, inas much as the part of the community upon which it had a tendency to press, if it did not clearly do so was the working classes—th e common people of this - so; ntry (hear)—that used to be called "the •lower eaueq," which comprised the great body of the people. On them this measure tended to press; whereas the upper chvises and the greater part of the middle classes were not at all effected by it. It would not prevent him (Lord Brougham) from going to any of the club-houses or hotels in St. James's-street on the Sunday—they were open at all hours on Sundays, Good Fridays, Christmas days, and every other day. The Earl of HARROWBY--But the clubs are pri vate houses. Lord BROUGHAM—They could hardly be called private, for they were open to 600 or 700 persons. To a certain degree they were pullic, and though not so pub lic as every person had a right to enter them. But he did not intend to dwell upon this objection, because knowing that there was a very strong and prevailing feeling in favour of some measure of this description, he was for one certainly disposed to gratify that feeling - considering also that he was told that experience in Scot land was that the more gereial and stringent measure in operation there had had an excellent effect in preventing the various social disorders which formerly prevailed in some parts AV that c >wary on Sundays. (Hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took that opportunity of stating that he had received a petition from au indi vidual named David Cook, the landlord of a public house near Glasgow. The petitioner complained that in consequence of the wording of the Act of Parliament, he and others of his trade were placed in a position of the greatest possible difficulty. An exception being made in favour of bona fide travellers, the petitioner in ftohermed him (th e L o rd C hancellor) th a t the justices of peace were not agreed on a definition.

He had been s informedend that the definition "bona fide travellers" was held not to include excursion trains. He begged to impress upon • their lordships the hardship that this must inflict on large classes of their fellow subjects. All along the coast of Lancashire, it was known that there was was no enjoyment that the people prized so much, as to repair as often as the intervals of labour would allow them to the sea side. An early riser might get to places o f the distance of Brighton or Graves end- and back in the day, and have ample time to attend divine service ; but if the regulation was so stringent as to prevent his getting any r efreshment, a great impedi ment would be thrown in the way of a most healthful and salutary practice. He hoped, therefore, that some . provision protecting travellers by excursion trains would be introduced. t The Duke of ARGYLL admitted that the subject was one of considerable difficulty, and should be treated with ca ution- At th e same ti me , it must be remembered that immense benefit had accrued from the restrictive measure passed for Scotland, and most remarkable returns had oeen seat since the clo si n 14,1:rhif the s howing the diminution of delinqu enc y Lord ALVAN public houses on Sundays. be free of the EY did not see why travellers should one else.

On the order for the committee on this bill, . Lord MONTEAGLE took the opportunity of refer ring to a statement to the effect that the cholera had broken out at Triwdon, in Durham on the 15th, and that no curative nieaiures were adopted by the Board of Health until the 20th. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY explained that the delay bad arisen in consequence of the local authorities applying in the first instance to the Home-office, in• stead of to the Boird of Health. The latter had, on being informed of tne state of things, at one.; forwarded the proper inbtruction4 to the locality. The bill passed through committee. SPIRITS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord CANNINU, in moving the committee on this bill, stated that the law for BuppreAsiug the sale of illicit spirits in Ireland was about to expire, and the Govern ment, in renewing it, took tile Opportunity Of intro ducing several amendments. His lordbbip proceeded to explain the amendments, which were all on matters of detail, and concluded by moving that the house go into committee on this bill. _ Lord MONTEAG LE thought this measure would jeopardise the discipline of the most valuable and effi cient force in Ireland. He considered it a great nits• take to mix up the constabulary in revenue matters. Atter a few words from Lord CAMPBELL. Their lordships went into committee ou the bill.

The Lords' a►uendmeuts to the British Guarantee (Nu. 2) Bill, and the Ox!ord, %%roil:ester, and WGlver li.Ampto.. Riiiway (Stratlurd-upuu•Avun and SLourbridge Blanche•) Bill were considered, arid agredd to. ESTA.TE BILL. On the order fur the tideund reading of the finch!ey fi,"ad EitAte Bill, Lord R. GROSVENOR said this bill would seriously interfere with the health and the enjoyment of the pun lie, inasmuch as it would authorise an encroaclizmilltt upon Hanipstead-heath. This was - the fifth bill abaci Sir Thomas Wilson had submitted to Parliament for the same p.irpose ; but, as in the other tour, so he hoped on this net:Amon-this attempt of Sir Thomas to violate the provisions of his father's will would prove unsuccessful. In the case of each bill, the judges had reported that the object sought' to be obtaihed`Was opposed to the wishes of the testator, and since the souse stood in the position of tyusiees for the public, whose inter est would be dainag,eif, they ought hot, to allow the bill to pass. He therefore moved, as an amendment, that the bill should be read a second time this day three monthS. Sir F. THESIGR, scaking! impartially,. and as knowing nothing personally of Sir Thohaks•Wilion, had no hesitation in saying that, gre.it injustice !would be done to,that gentleman if the house refused do pass this bill, which would pot in the slightest degree encroach upon or interfere with the integrity of Hampstead-heath. In fact, the land which it referred to was at /east a mile away from the heath ; and white, on the one hand, no advantage wou:d be gained fur the public, On . the oilier, a manifest injustice would be d-nie to Sir Timm is Wil son, if the house threw out this. bill, which had already received the sanction of the House of Lords, atter the I most careful consideration. Mr. B. OSBO RNE said the real ohjict of this bill Was to upset the will of the late Sir Timmos Wilson, and therefore; even if it did not interfere with the interest of the public, the house would be justified iu rejecting it, particularly as it had been reported again%.t by the judges of the laud. It was only a preparatory bill.to building over the entire of Ha.mpstea I-he ith ; and as the public had a vested interest in this part of the metropolis, the house had no right to pass it without their consent. Mr. BOUVERIE said this bill had no inure to do with Hainpstead-heath than it had to do with Grosvenor square, and he hoped the sentimental prejudice which it was attempted to'raise against it would not be allowed to prevail. There could be no doubt that, had the tes tator been living now, he would readily have concurred in the object of this bill, which was to apply a useless farm at Finehley to building purposes.. Mr. HENLEY thought no sufficient ground had been made out for doing away with the N ill of the teqator. Mr. M. SMITH supyorted the bill, and declared that Sir T. Wilson had no intention of invading any pablic right, or encroaching upon Hampstead-heath. Sir B. HALL contended that if there was no such in tention, a clauseought to.ba inserted, in the bill binding Sir T. Wil son not to interfere with Haopstead-heath, but he believed there was such' an intention, and that was why lie opp ised the bill. Mr. E. BALL opposed the bill on the ground that, if they sanctioned the enclosure of Finchley Common; a similar apprication would follow in refereoce to Ilainp ktea,l-heath. Mr. R. LOWE threw overboard the claim of the pub lic in this matter, whi,h, if thoy hal any, ought to be paid for, with the intention of taking a common sense view of the hill. %Veil, then, did it violate the will a the testator ? There could be no doubt that it did, triat was why he Opposed it. Mr. tRETUN waq glad to hear that the hon. gentle man felt go much reverence for wills, and he hoped when they came to remember the Oxford University Bill he would et 11 be anintited by the sane spirit with re gard to the with of fouoder4. (. 1 1 Sir J. V. SRELLEY should always oppose any mea sure which interfered with the hingS of Llndon. Thia property proposed to be enclosed wai of L ndon. Mr. FREWIN said that could not he. as it WM not even within sight of the heath ; but the bill had no wore to do with Hamupstead•heath than it had to do with St. James's Part:. After moms further discussion, in which Mr. FOSTER and Dr. -PEIELLIMORE ups►used, and sir. GEACII and Viscount GALWAS supported the bill, the house divided, *hen there appeared— . • For the second reading Against it - 97 Majority The bill was accordingly thrown out. - MILITIA (No. 2) BILL. ' On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. T. EGER. lON drew attention to the injustice which the bill would throw upon counties with regard to the establishment of militia storehouses and barracks. These storehouse, barracks and parade grounds world put counties to considerable expense. In his own county, indeed the estimate was' 14,000 r; 'and he could not help thinking that this first charge should be borne by To * State generally, and not thrown on the county rate, betanse militia regiments were now removable at the will of the Home-office. , Mr. IRETON took the same view, as the militia were "f ai r ing an imperial force. Ordnan m c i e li of Ze; CHRISTOPHER said the barracks department militia should be placed under the control of the B oard, instead of throwing the whole expense argued in committee. upon the counties.

Ott the motion of Mr. 11. 3(E, an address was agreed t o for copies or extracts from the car asponilenCe between hay M a jesty's Government, her Moister` at Madrid, and the Spanish Government, respecting slavery and the slay,: trade in Cabs, since August, 1853, and not yet laid before this house; and copies or extracts of all despatches from Mr. cotwoicla Ariti04.04641 -as lisysnuab r a,g4:6Dy gri.j • Y THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1854. tish officers, respecting slavery and the slave trade in Cuba, eiuce August, 1e53, not already laid before this house. BIRD-CAGE WALK. Mr. OLIVEIRA aekedthe First Connuissiener of Works whether, looking to the increase of traffic which may be expected over new Westminster-bridge, in the line of Great George-street, it would not be desirable to leave the thoroughfare open-in thet locality, by not erecting a gate on the site of the one keit removed at the end of Birdcage walk, known RS Storey's-gate. Sir W. MOLES WOR'I.7II said the Birdcage-walk was a part and portion of St. James's-park, um! in consequence neither carts, nor waggons, nor omnibuses, were permitted to enter it, but if the gates were taken away from both extremities of the Birdcage-walk, then it would be an open thoroughfare for carte. waggons. or omnibuses, because in no case were those vehicles prohibited from going through any street except where gates were put up at one end. It would be a serious inconvenience and damage to the houses in Birdcage-walk if the road were thrown ope d. At present there was abundant accommodation through Victoria-street, and the public wouldt suffer no incon venience from the gates proposed to be erected, be• cause the gates would be so constructed that two carriages could go in at the same time. It was pro comet to, take down the Buckingham-gate, so that a vehicle would be able to proceed from the Birdcage-walk to the new road at Pimlico. MR FRANCIS LAW - LEY. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether her Majesty had been advised, or whether it was his isteutioti to advise her Majesty, to ap point the Hon. Francis I awley, lately a member of this house, and lately private secretary to one of her Majesty's Ministers, to he governor of one of the Australian colonies, and. if so, which of these colonies he was to govern ? Sir G. GREY said her Majesty had been pleased to ap point Mr. Francis Law.ey to be governor of the colony of South Australia. TRINITY PARISH, HOBART TOWN. Lord R. CECIL moved* that an address be agreed to for copies or extracts of all correspondence, papers. and dlocn meets that have been receiver] at the Colonial-office respect ing the proposed appointment of the Rev. J. G Medland and Rev. W. W. F. Murray to the chaplaincy of Trinity Parish ; Hobert Town. Sir G. GREY said the correspondence was a very voluminous one, and the production of it would lead to no good result. He hoped the difference in question would be settled. THE STATUTE LAW COMMISSION. Mr. BOWYER asked the law officers of the Crown whether they could offer any explanation of the delay that had taken place in the appointment of the Statute Law Commission, as announced by the Attorney-Gener a l i u committee of' supply The SOLICITOR-GENERAL sail he had himself had no communication with the commissioners ; but he would take an opportunity of communicating with them, and let the house know the result. FEES UPON PATENTS. Mr. A. PELT A"l'l' asked the Secretary of the Treasury whether, agreeably to the requirement of the Patent Law Amendment Act, the Commissioners of Patents of Riven tions had laid a report before Parliament of all the , pro ceedings under anti iu pursuance of the said act, and .f not, whether the report had been prepared and was realer to lay before Parliament this session; also, whether the law officers of Scotland and Ireland had received a share of the fees upon patents, or whether, in lieu thereof, they had accepted a fixed salary, and what was the amount they had received since the Ist des of October, 1852 (the date of the act). and the nature of the duties they had performed. Mr. Vs ILSON said the report to which the h. n. gentle. men referred had not yet been laid 'on the table of the house, but it was now ready, and would be presented on Tuesday or Wednesday, in next week. With regard to the officers of Ireland and Scbtllind they did not now enjoy any part of the fees. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. On the order of the day for the consideration of the Lords' amendments in this bill, Lord J. RUSSELL said, generally speaking, the Govern went was disposed to agree with the ?amendments. There were a few in which they di.l not agree, but they were not of sufficient importance to state them separately, and he would state them as they went on. The amendments were then read. On one of them, TheCHA - CELLORof the EXCHEQUERsaid it would be recel.ecte.l that they had a geed deal of discussion a+ to the day on which the hebdomadal council should commence its functions, amid atter infinite trouble they settled! it. When they wept to the House of Lords they settled it also to their satiefection. The House of Lords had fixed the 14th slay of Michaelmas term for the council to be deecte I, but as they were to be elected by a body which would not be in existence till the 15th, there wee a difficulty. Some discussion ensued, which resulted in an amend went proposed by Lord J.. RUSSELL, to obviate the diffi culty, being agree► to. On the Lords' amendment, that " congregational " he substituted fur sectional election in the case of the members of the heletemedal council, Mr. WALPOLE said that it would be a ,grave question for tee house to c mushier whether they would agree to the amend! men t. Originals the hetelowail sl board consiste I only of the heals of houses, but its cqmp.sitiota being con si.lereti nef vourable to the university element, it had been proposed that it should consist of three classes—one-third heads of houses, one-third professors, and one-third mem bers of convocation. The house hail decided that each plunder was in it. (Laughter.) It was nothing more nor ' loss than robbing nee class of persons to assign what was taken to another class. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was certainly surprised to hear the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Henley), who adhered with great tenacity to some of •the smaller institutions of the country—(laughter)—speaking as he had done of the House of Lords. (Laughter.) He ventured to say that the House of Lords had by their con duct on that question done everything to weaken, and no- ! thing to strengthen themselves. The amendment which they had set down was an amendment not in favour of plunder and robbery, as the right hon. gentleman sup posed, but an amendment in favour of moral and intellec tual excellence as against ignorance and abuse. (Hear.) What the House of Lords had done was to give to rem patent parties the power of considering on lareer awl more general grounds than the Corporetion of Abingdon wontl consider, whetherit were desirable or not that certain pri• vileges should be continued. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that that house would not set itself against the House of Lords in a Case in which the House of Lords les.l vote I in favour of large and general interests, and in which all that could be said. in favou r of the opposite interests was thud they were those of kindly, pare:mid, and local feelings. Sir W. HEATHCOTE thought his right hon frietid had shown on that occasion the a.gereese of a psiti-an. In saying that the parties interested ought to tie contented with an impartial tribunal, his right hon. friend assume I the pint in dispute, namely, that there was something e Welt ought to he referred to this tribunal. It was use less to enter on the question of inure or less, when the whole thing was an invasiou. It was no answer to say that these schools interposed to prevent sceuething that might be better. If so, what was the use of esteblishing any school at all ? Mr. G. VERNON slid he haul been of opinion in the first instance, that the legislature haul uo right to inter fere with the various schools; bet the Government haul been beaten on the question. He thought that the ilea@ of the schools were sufficiently maintained by leaving the n their scholarships. The good of the university must also be looked to ia the question of fellowship. He looked with pleasure to the selection that hal been in vie of com missioners. and was confident they would discharge their duties uprightly. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was in error as to the Westminster sch ulars being entitled to fellowships in Trinity College, Cambridge ; it was merely scholarships in wbieh they had had a right. Sir J. PAKINGTON twitted the last speaker with having voted differently on two former occasions on this question, and called on him to point out the difference in principle between a scholarship and a fellowship. The justification set up by the Chancellor of the Exchequer itir the course puritueul by the House of Lords was utterly inconsistent with the sentiments he had expressed four years ago. He (Sir John) looked upon this as nothing less than unjustifiable spolietiou ; and he was fortified i u this opinion by that of the ri g ht ion gentleman himself. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—You have no right to say that I pit elished a corrected report of the speech you refer to, which differs materially from the ' , query reports. Sir J. PAKINGTON referred to the report in Hansard, which male Mr. thaelsteue say that neither the House of Commons nor the Crown would assume a jurisdiction to remove those restraints, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Hear, hear. Neither the House of Commous nor the Crown. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the right hon. gentleman was . certaiuly thankful for small mercies if he rested on that distinction. In the speech referred to he protested ge,iust examination as a test of fitness, and argued that the scholarships and fellowships ought not to be thrown open. Now, he talked of "intellectual excellence," and how would that be ascertained but by examination? That very morning the house had before it a question as to the intentions of a founder; and the right hon. gentleman spoke warmly in support of those inten tions being respecte t ; let him apply that principle to the case before the house. There were certain schools in Worcestershire connected with Worcester College ; and it would be a great injustice to those schools to take away the fellowship,;. He could not but regret the course of the Government; their object appeared to be to induce the house.to stultify itself. On two previous oc ca eions the house had decided in favour of this principle. by large majorities in crowded houses— not in such a thin house as. could be got together at the end of July. Lord J. RUSSELL said, the house would recollect that the last time this question was debated there had been only e majority of 10 in favour of the proposition of the hon anti learned gentleman, so that if the house came to a different decision now, they would not be reversing the decision of a large majority. The right hon, gentlemen opposite haul ebarged his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exche quer with saying that " neither the House of Commons nor the Crown coital assume the jurisdiction to retrieve these restraints. His right lion friend said the same thing now. Whet he and what the Government said was, that neither the House of Commons nor the Crown could do soe but that the whole body of Queen. Lords, and Coalitions could ;Svc its assent to •th alterations. (Hear, and a laugh.) Their argutnent was that the founders of these institutions intended that they shall, be for the promotion of religion and learning, rather than a hindrance to it. It appetre.l to hint that if they meant to give a preference to fitness they c•iuld not adopt the propose! of the right hon gs utleman opposite. It was clear eliet if the number was ►invited, it would only moderate the degree of competency and lower the standard of education. The house then divided— - --- ---- -__ striuld be elected by it? own class, but the — House of_ Lords liv.t altered the provision, so that all the members should ue elected by the congregitioh. The effect of this caange would be to throw the entire governing Power of the uni versity into the h mils of a body of 251) persons. the mejoi ity of whom were supposed to hold :v peculiar and special class of opinions. The object of the Lords' amendment was in create an oligarchy who wind not number une-tenth of the members 'of the university. FI•1 should, therefore, move that the house disagree with the amendment. Lord J.

He should like to know how many patients.the hospital .was meant to ac commodate. Captain SCOBELL Raid it had been stated that if the purchase wore made Burlington House must come down. If so the price paid for the ground would be at the rate of a,bout 50,0006: an acre. He protested against the public being called on to pay for accommodation to private societies. Mr. M. MILNES believed, from all ho could learn, that the estimate was an extremely economical one. He had been told that other parties had offered even a larger sum than the vote. One rumour was that an intention existed of buying the ;,round fur a large Homan C:►thoiic c theulral. (Laughter ) W. MOLESWORTEI said the estimate was for 40 patients, which would meet all proper requirements. Mr: LA.YARD wished to know whether the hospital would be of stone or wood ? . . . Lord RUSSELL believed the building to be erected would be of stone; and he should communicate with his noble ;timid the Secretary for Foreign Affairs relative to its being commenced at once. The vote was then agreed to, and the house resumed. Mr. BANKES said that one reason why he objected to the grant was, that ho had been told that that beautiful structure, Burlington House, would be pulled down, which, in his opinion, was to be regretted, as it would be one of the greatest ornaments to the metropolis if it could only be seen. He thought that private societies could build much cheaper fur themselves if left to their own res inrces. Mr. HEYWOOD'said that the presidents of the dif ferent s ientitic societies bail hail a mseting the other - day, argil had ell agreed that the purchase was ilesitab e, and was otilged to the ativertunent for proposing to buy it-, Those societies hail a fair sealer on the Government for a lecetion, as some of them heti origivally been provided with rooms in our publie buildings. The CH INCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not well uederstan I the arguments !lade use of by the hen. member for Dir etshire. That hon. gen tlein sic stated that his ehjeetion to this vote would be either withdrewri or greatly tuoilirieil if it w -re proposed to pull down the wall in faint of Burliegten-hou se ; and, h wing nettle that at:ste lae-et. he proceeded to say that, at the present time, it vas absolutely necessary, on account of the war, to refrain from applying to Parliam en t, for money to be expmeleil for a purpose not iteso!ntely neeeesery. lie cooll nit ut dur stand how the se two arguments could hang together, nor cooed he admit that either was tenable. The proposition for pulling down e the wall, and so ()peeing the view to Burlington-hense, was a proposition not to be enduret—e (" ah, oh !") —that was to say, not to be endnred by those who were intrusted with the menagement of the public resources at the present time ; and, on the other hand, he protested ag inst the doctrine, that the country was so reduced in means that no money could be voted except for purposes of what might be called ales Itr:e necessity. With respect to the acquisition of three acres and a half of land at a pri.e which every one must admit was by no means extrav gent, in the very heart of London, in a most com manding situation, in a great thoroughfare, he cool I only say that if the opportunity were allowed to pass it might be many generations -before such another occurred, and in the 40 or 50 years which might elapse before such an opportunity occurred in whet way could the public demands fir space be met ? With regard to the statement that scientific societies could furnish themselves with room at a cheaper rate than the Government - could provide it for them, be must say that he could not agree to to that statement.; - because, if they were provided with eprace in any Government building, other parts of the which would be useless to them, could be turned to eccottut by theGoverninent. The difficulty which those societies met with in obt'aining accommodation was the difficulty of procuring a large room for their meet ings, but if they were provided with apace by the public. one large room would he sufficient to answer the require meats of all. The hon, member for Lambeth had spoken of the vacant space in Downing-street; but that site was wasted for other purposes. The position of the great State races in Downing-street leas abso utely disgraceful. Some o f them were even dangerous, and others inconvenient in the highest degree, and it had become.a matter of neces sity that they shard.' think of an alteration and enlarge ment of those offices on a great scale. For such purposes the vacant space in Downing -street would naturally be required. To transcer any of the great offices 'of State to Burlingtou-hou,e) would he altegether inconvenient, and it was important they should all be centred in the neighbourhood of Downing-street. But for commissioners' offices and establishments of that kiud Burlington-house would he found exceedingly convenient, and he therefore thought that for such purposes the pro posed arrangement was an excellent one. He hoped, there fore, that the present question would not be mixe 1 up with the one about Kensington, or in any w:q confounded with the question of the National Gallery, which hail been discussed and-settled, as was understood, conclusively, in the course of last session. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI said f..here could be no doubt of the soundness of the statement made by the right hon, gentle men, that nothing coeld be more valuable or rather invalu able to the Government of this country than those spaces ~f ground that from time to time might be procured in the metropolis.' But, before he adverted to that subject, he would venture to make a remark on one or two ob ervations that had fallen from bon.gentlemeu opposite The hen. mem ber for Lambeth had .cotumented on the propriety of some alterations in - Somerset-house for which he (Mr. Disraeli) was responsible, and in some measure approved of what had taken place He Was quite prepared to show, if it was necessary to go into the question, that those alterations were all for the convenience of the public service, as well es economic-2i to SO far as regeriled the public expenditure, ,ind that, in so far as the tuanegeinent of the Duchy of Jortrwall was concerned, the alterations were unquention shly ail in favour of the public. (Hear.) So far, dud ed, from there being anything like a suspicion of what wan called "a job" in this matter, the Duchy of Cornwall would have been perfectly a tistieil to rem-tin in their old quarters. tHear, hear.) The hon. and gallant member fur Beth had ovule one of those, he might say, habitaal attacks on pur iases that were so common in tit .t house, and found fault .vith the purchase of Keusingtoh-gore ou account of its expense. He stated that 201,0-301. had been paid for 10 acres of land, whereas the fact was that it was not ?0 but 90 ace s of I and that were purchased (hear, hear)—atirl, therefore, when the hon. member fur Bath wished to establish -his reputation tor economy and made his attacks on these purcha,es, he ought to be more statia• correct in his figures. He could not agree with the gallant captain, that the site of Burlington-house was end itently qualified for a National Gallery. (Hear, hear.) Before they determined what was a good site for a National Gallery, they should come to a conclusion as to what was ineant by it National Gallery. He thought the preseet Na tional Gallery was the greatest disgrace thatexieted in this country, and be would much sooner there wasno institution bearing the name than that the small collection in the pre sent institution should be where it now was iu this metro , pais. (Hear, "hear.) In his mind, the site of Kensing ton, which had been recommended by a couimittee iif that house, was not too small for a National Gallery'', a great palace of art, worthy of this nation, and he earnestly troped e tro attempt would again be made to raise a National Gallery, such as a National Gallery ought to be, unless they attempted to do-something really worthy of the coun try and the subject. (Hear, hear.)` There was nothing on this question sit important as that which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had so strongly impressed on the house, of every existing-Government seizing upon every opportunity thee, presented itself of purchasing such spaces of ground in the metropolis as might be thrown upon the market. It was absolutely necessary to avail themselves of these opportunities of protuotiug the public service, and that in no niggardly spirit. (Hear, hear) It was of the utmost importance that they should have more accommodation for the public offices, and it was hardly less important that the public servants should be as much as possible brought together by the contiguity of the offices in which they were placed. Indeed, contiguity was, to a certain degree, as valuable as additional space. (Hear, hear.) For these reasons, if the Government recommended the purchase of those 34 acres of ground in Burlington-horse, he would 'he prepared to support them. But there was one point . -on which he want e d some i e f orina ti on .

Hu would recommen ►to the noble !oril (Lord Palmerston) to postpo.ie it to an occasion when it (iota receive proper consideration. Sir J. PAKINUrrON moved the ajournment of the debate. Lord PALMERSTON hoped, if the house would not coiisaut to go into eututuitt.e it would certain:) , ,to to•inorrow eveuing. The was a cortlingly post! ned.

BENEFICES AUGMENTATION BILL. This Lin was read a third time anti passe I. RUiSIkN GOVER,NMENT SECURITIES BILL. Mr. WILti.IN - SON oojected to going on with a bill of such importance at th,t hour (it was 20 minutes to two o'clock). He moved that the ch report progress. • S.r J P sKINGTON said. the house had got into its present oiffieulty in consequence of the hwerunieut hav ing gone on with the cinumittee of supply after one o'clock. He believed that the*ble lord the member for Ma yle bone had good reason complain of the manner in which he had been treated; the progress of the measure had been alrea y stayed, iu order that the opinions of the law offi cers of the crown might be had on it, iti.d now, alien b th those gentlemen were present, the house was precluded from going on with the bill, in consequence of tun way in which business had been couducted that evening. Mr. WILSON would reiniud the right hou. baronet that if no discussion ha l arisen on going into uotntuittee of supply the bill would have come on earlier. Mr. I. BUTT tl-ought his noble friend ought most surely divide the house on the motion to report progress, unless he received an assurance that a day wuuld be fixed by the Government on which the lull would be proceeded with. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said it was absolutely necessary that some important ameud men ts should be made in the bill, awl he promised that if the bill were po-tponed until Tuesday or Wednesday next, he would bring forward Some amendments which, without pledging himself to sup port the bill—(laughter)--he would undertake to say were such as would greatly improve its character. Mr. I. BUTT must say the hon. and learned gentleman ought to have made up his thihd as to whether he intended or not to support the bill. He w.,tald ask the h.'use was it proper the S dicitur-General should come down to the house, and tell them ho had not made tio his mind as to the course he should pursue in reference to a measure that had been described Ly so eminent an authority as the noole lord the Secretary for the Home Department as involving the honour of the country, and, as attracting the attention of all. Europe. He must say the house and the country had a right to demand that some definite course should be pur sued with respect to the bill. Mr. T. HANK EY, as one of the minority, was most anxious that the bill should be properly discussed, and joined in recommending the postponement of the bill. Mr. HENLEY thought that Wednesday next would be a very convenient occasion for discussing the subject,. were it not that there was some uncertainty as to the presence of the law officers of the Crown on that day. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL got up to state he, at all events, .would undertake to be present on Wednesday next, when he was interrupted by The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who, amid the laughter of the house, proceeded to state the bill was prepared with a most laudable disregard for everything that ought to be attended to in its composition —(laughter) and he was therefore aiming's that a delay should t .ke place in the progress of the measure, in order that the detects in s o notable a performance should be rendered less glaring. He could assure the house the bill had been framed with a perfect neglect of all British mercantile interests, and of our dealings with neutral natious. (Gaeers ) The bon. and learned gentleman then entered, at some length, into the vari us merits of the bill, and to describe the nature of the athendments Fe proposed to introduce. A discussion then ensued, in which several hon. gentle men took to.trt, and a great deal of warmth of feeling was displayed, which was ut short by L ,rd PAL NIERSTO N appealing to the house to consent to the bill being postponed until Wednesday next, which, after au assurance on the part of the Attorney General that he should be present on .that day, was at length agreed to. The second reading of the. Met thing Halls, &0., B;l1 also (after a great deal of diseassioa) was pestpuntd until toontirrow evening (this day), and The house then adjourned at Ave minutes before three o'clock.
