IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The House filet at five o'clock. Earl of HARDWICK presented a petition from the Marine Society, praying that, in the event of the tax of 2s. now levied on certain fishermen in the Thames, which formed part of the revenues of that society, being repealel, the interests of the society might not be lost eight of. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a pe tition from 5,414 clergymen of the Church of England in favour of retaining religious element in the national schools in Ireland. Lord CAMPBELL presented a potition from resi dents at Hampstead against the bill before the house for the enclosure of portions of the heath. CHICORY. Viscount TORRINGTON presented a petition from the merchan,ts and planters of Ceylon, praying for the appointment of a committee to inquire into and to report upon the adulteration of coffee. In conquence of the operation of the present Treasury minute, the consump tion of coffee had greatly decreased as compared with the period when the mixture of chicory with coffee was prohibited. The public were sufferers from the present system, because they got an inferior article without any reduction in the price, and the trade had a lso g reat cause to complain of it, as it prevented the honest trader competing with the dishonest one. The Earl of ABERDEEN said there was great diffi culty in reconciling the interests of the revenue with those of the trader and consumer. Whatever ground of complaint the public might have, it was not any want of activity on the part of the Board of Inland Revenue, because, during the last year there had been 6,337 inspections by their officers, and 690 prosecutions. So far from there being a falling off in the consumption owing to the existing regulations, the consumption had increased for several years past, and in this year more than any other. He considered that as the present system bad worked well it ought not to be disturbed. MANAGEMENT OF CROWN ESTATES. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE moved for the ,ap pointment of a select committee to inquire into the ma nagement of the Crown estate of Kilancour, in the King's county, and into the circumstances attending the occupation of a portion thereof by the Rev. F. M`Mahon, P.P. of Kinrit'y. The Earl of ABERDEEN said the transaction affected the administration of the Crown lands, and therefore he had no objection to the appointment of a committee, but he did not. think the case had any in trinsic importance. After a short conversation the motion was agreed to. 'BLOCKADE OF THE WHITE SEA. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a peti tion signed by nearly all the merchants and bankers of Hull, praying for a rigorous blockade of all the Russian ports. The petitioners stated that the depression of trade in their town caused by the war had been very much aggravated by the uncertainty which had prevailed on this subject. The ports to which the petitioners more particularly alluded were those of Archangel and Onega. When about six weeks ago it became commonly rumoured in the mercantile circles that a determination had been come to not to institute a blockade in the White Sea, it was stated to him by a friend well versed in commercial affairs, that it was stated that the merchants of Holland had received a distinct intimation from an official source in this country, to the effect that such would be the course adopted. He (Lord Clanricarde) replied that there must be at least one great error in that statement ; for it appeared to him impossiblethat the Government could have come to any determination to forego so important a right. About ten days afterwards, however, his friend came to him again and with something like triumph in his countenance stated that in Holland the merchants were chartering large numbers of ships, and sending out large orders, to Archangel and Onega, where it was expected that the tradeduring the summer would be at least as favourably circumstanced as usual. He thought that these facts required some explana tion. Toe traders in Russian commerce had only two courses open to them on the breaking out of the war, • namely, either to send for them to other countries pro ducing the same articles, though at a greater cost, or to apply to neutral countries to procure them from Russia itself, for of course no certificate of the origin of the articles would be required. But it was of the un certainty that the petitioners complained When a number of ships had sailed from her Majesty's ports three or four weeks ago, it was expected that those ships were intended to institute a blockade, and he was really very much surprised when the First Lord of the Admiralty stated in answer that there was no present intention to commence such a blockade. Only two days ago a deputation waited on the right hon. gentle- man, and he was said to have stated to them that an order in council to blockade the waters of the White Sea had been signed, but that it had not been issued, and that he would say when it would be published. He (Lord Clanricarde) quite agreed that it would be unwise either for her Majesty's Government or for any other Government to :announce beforehand the course they _ intended to pursue ; but the questionwas, whether it was fair to our own merchants to intimate to other countries what was the step they intended to take / He had in his hand letters from St. Petersburg and Arch angel, stating that large orders had been imme diately sent to the latter place as soon as it was known that the English were not going to estab lish a blockade in the White Sea. But, besides this, he wished to draw the attention of the Government and their lordship to the impolicy of not taking this step. He had it upon very good informa tion that within the last three weeks at least 400 vessels had been chartered for the port of Archangel ; and that on one particular day no fewer than eight had cleared out from Hull and two from London. And what had been the effect of this state of things ! The Emperor had required a loan and had been able to raise it on very advantageous terms in Holland from the customers who had now the trade of the White Sea. It was evident that the war would be a most profitable business for the Dutch, and they would thus have a direct interest in its continuance. But if the Government wished to bring the contest to a satisfactory and speedy termination, • they must attempt it by throwing a pressure upon the Russian people, as well as by endeavouring to destroy the Russian armies. (Hear, hear.) The war, so far, had been glo r i ous t o th e a lli es , an d especially to the Turks themselves. It was impossible not to admire the wonderful ability, and the astonishing bravery with which all their operations had been carried on ; but they could scarcely hope that the blows which had been struck on the banks of the Danube were likely to bring them much sooner to the termination of the war. The most despotic of tyrants, however, did not dare wholly to despise the will of their subjects, and it was, there fore,. by bringing a pressure upon the Russian peopie, that they might hope most speedily to termi nate the struggle. (Hear, hear.) Let them only feel the finch of war, and it would not be by false bulletins that the Emperor would be able to conceal from them the real facts of the case. (Hear, hear.) Letters had been received two days previous from the Sea of Azoff, stating that the trade of that sea had not been in the least interrupted ; and the remarks he had made would also, to a certain extent, apply to that part of the world. We shoull undoubtedly have to consult our allies ; but he confessed that it was inconceivable to him how the White Sea remaining open could be any less prejudicial to the commerce of France than it was to our own. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the noble lord had not dwelt much upon the particular object for which he apprehended this appeal had been made by the petition ers to the house, namely, the effect which this blockade would have upon their own interests. The functions of the executive in such a matter were of the most delicate nature; and that delicacy was much increased when they had to consult an ally whose interests were as much, if not more, concerned than their own. He had no objection to confirm the surmise of the noble-marquis, that it was in consequence of the engagement into which the French Government had entered pfevious to the commencement of the war, that had prevented th e i r agreement with th e English Government with respect to instituting a blockade ; and he did not think that we could commence a blockade while our ally was under an engagement not to institute one. Commu nications, however, had been held with the French Government on the subject, and the last correspon dence showed a considerable alteration in their views upon this subject, which he thought might before long lead to an alteration in the policy both on their part and 09. ours. (Hear, hear.) But the noble marquis was linstaken if h e t h ought that the mercantile world at large were unanimous as to the desirability of blockad ing Archangel and 0 the deputation iega. So far, fur instance, from to which he had alluded wishing for a 1-trict blockade, its of was to remonstrate against the bare Pbil a i ti sicme s , t i ich a step being taken ; and the reason they was that the his noble frie n d h ad 400 ships whi c h, as said, been chartered f or Arch angel, and of which at leasthad three-fourths were for the export of grain from that port, were to bring away Rll9- sian produce which had alreadybzreid for. They said that the ()Teeter part, if not the Russian, fiatnhe buttrade of goods which the 400 ships rchangebl was carried on, not with and that the foreign capital, were to bring away having p b een purchased with their lps belonged not to .ussia, but to the Sul • money, result of a blockade subjects of other nations. The would thus b but to injure th e subjects of_nen tral, e not to &Imago tral, and probably f riendly, powers. With res the First Lo rd pect to the - statement attributed to of the Ad miralty, he Qhe noble duke) was utterly at a losi t o con et hon. gentleman's ans wer ceive, what part of the lig gentleman could have been so tortured by any p a_ jog the deputation, if, indeed, the noble marquis re ceived his information from them at a ll, In the first place, unless he (the noble duke) was grea tly mistaken, no order in council was necessary ; and such an order had not, could not, and would not therefore be signed at all. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE—e Not an order in council, then, Veit an order for a blockade. The Duke of NEWCASTLE—WeII, the right lion. gentleman certainly could not have said that any such order had been signed. He might have said that he could state when such an order would be issued, and whatever the right hon. gentleman did say, was no doubt consistent with perfect propriety. With respect to the policy of this blockade the opinions expressed by the noble marquis did not greatly differ from the views which he himself entertained ; and although the noble marquis might _not altogether approve of the general conduct of the Government, he thought that he (Lord Clanricarde) might repose some confidence in the Go vernment as to the particular moment at which such a step ought to be taken. He could assure the house that if they had hestitated hitherto to institute a_ blockade in the White Sea, it had not been from any apprehension .of .doing too much harm to Ruasia, (Cheers.) His noble friend might rest assured that the moment they were satisfied that they could strike a blow at Russia by instituting a blockade of the ports in the White Sea, or any other ports, or by taking any other measure, with out inflicting an injury upon other parties, they would be perfectly ready and anxious to strike that blow. Lord BEAUMONT said that by abstaining from com mencing the blockade, great injury had been done to the shipping interest of this country. If by this war we placed the Russian carrying trade in the hands of the Dutch, we should find it very difficult, even when peace should be restored, to makebring i a t b ea a e c ri k fi to ee its if thatold channel.sacrifice was They neyweoeueelay would willingly to promote the conclusion of the war, but no effect it seemed was produced by their present system because it inflicted no injury whatever upon Russia. The whole injury they inflicted was upon the shipowners of this country, and they conferred a benefit on the ship owners of neutral powers. If they completely blockaded the ports of Russia this would not be the case. The trade would altogether be suspended, no new line of communication would be brought into existence, no new line of ships would be placed on that particular trade by neutral powers, and when the war was concluded the trade would naturally revert to its old course. However, from what had fallen from the noble Duke, they must assume that a total change was about to take place in our policy with regard to the White Sea, but it would come rather late in the day, because in a short time, as far as Archangel was concerned, the trade would come to an end. With regard to not instituting a blockade because the property there was the property of Englishmen, the same argument might to apply to Riga and to St. Petersburg. - The Earl of ELLESMERE expressed his cordial sup port of the conduct of the naval operations generally. He was convinced that ultimate events would show that that conduct had been actuated by a wise regard to husbanding the resources of the country and making them as effective as possible when any blow could or ought to be struck. The subject then dropped. THE EA.RL OF ABERDEEN ON THE WAR. The Earl of ABERDEEN—I wish to give notice that on Monday next I will move for the production of a des patch addressed by me formerly to the Russian Govern ment on the subject of the treaty of Adrianople, and I will take The opportunity of removing some great misap prehensions which exist from the observations that I ad dressed to your lordships the other night. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") SALARIES OF JUDICIAL OFFICERS IN IRELAND. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked the Lord Chancellor whether Government have it in contempla— tion to provide, by annual votes of Parliament, the sa laries of certain officers of law courts in Ireland who exercise judicial functions, and their successors ; which salaries are now charged upon the consolidated fund ? The LORD CHANCELLOR said he was happy to be able to relieve his noble friend from any apprehension on this subject. It was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to transfer from the consolidated fund to the annual votes the salaries of any persons exercising judi cial functions. He had himself received a letter from the Lord Chancellor of Ireland a fortnight ago, expressing his apprehension from the wording of the bill in the other house of parliament. It certainly was not intended to include the masters. The expression in the bill was too vague, and measures had been taken to alter it. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. This bill passed through committee. • VACCINATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock, PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con• sidered and agreed to :—Beccles Water and Gas ; King ston-upon-Hull Improvement ; Llandudno Improvement. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Arnbergate, Nottingham, and Boston and Eastern Juuc iton Railway Acts, &c.; Border Counties Railway; Car marthen and Cardigan Railway and Cardigan Harbour; Electric Telegraph Company (No. 2); London and North- Western Railway (Haydon-square, &c.); Methwold Drainage. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Sir J. WALMSLEY from the Town Council of Leicester against the Police Bill, also a petition from the inhabitants of that burgh praying that in any terms of peace the independence of Turkey may be secured ; Mr. KERSHAW, from the Corporation of Stock port, against the Police Bill ; Mr. LIDDELL, and other hon. members, against the opening of public-houses on Sundays; Mr. T. CHAMBERS, from Inverness and its neigh bourhood, praying the house to deal with nunneries, and to withdraw the grant from ktaynooth ; Mr. KER SEC• MEN, from the Town Council of Blandford, against the Police Bill. RIISSO•DIITCH LOAN. Lord D. STUART gave notice that on Tuesday next ha would move resolutions on the subject of the Russo-Dutch loan. The effect of the resolutions was that this country had already paid 4,110,0091. on account of that loan to Russia, that 3,386,6891. more would be required to liqui date the debt, which was to cease in 1915, making an ag gregate sum of 7,291,6661. ' • that as Russia had violated the treaty of Vienna, which included the treaty respect ing the loan, that treaty was no longer in force, and that the payment he hereafter suspended. LORD ABERDEEN'S LATE SPEECH. Mr. LAYARD—Seeing the noble lord the President of the Council in his place, I wish to state that as he has in timated to me that he would not be unwilling to have a day named next week for a discussion on the foreign policy of the Government, it is my intention to move, on Thursday or Friday next, a resolution somewhat to this effect :—" That it is the opinion of this house, the lan guage of the First Minister of the Crown is calculated to raise grave doubts in the public mind with respect to the objects and ends of the war, and to lessen the prospect of an honourable and durable peace." Ido not bind myself to these exact words, bat they will be to this effect. (Loud cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL—I can only say that, although it was the-intention of the Government to move a committee of supply on Thursday next, if the hon. gentleman gives notice for that day, he shall have precedence before all other motions. (Hear, hear.) TRADE WITH JAPAN. Mr. GREGSON asked the Lord President of the Coun cil, whether any instructions have been, or, if not, will be transmitted to Sir John B owr i ng , or whether any steps will be taken to obtain an opening for British commerce with Japan, on terms similar to those understood to be arranged with the United States of America. Lord J. RUSSELL replied, that Sir J. Bowring had al ready been instructed upon that point. LOSS OF THE EUROPA. Capt. SCOBELL asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Europa troop-ship sailed from England on her voyage alone, or in company with any other vessel or transport :—lf no such regulation is established, has the Board of Admiralty considered the propriety of arranging, when practicable, and as a precaution, that hereafter no transport, with troops on board, shall commence her voy age to a foreign station without a consort. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the loss of the Europa had given rise to very serious reflections, and instruc tions had been issued by the Board of Admiralty to prohibit smoking between decks on board tr nsports, and that additional precautions should be taken with reference to the stowage of combustible articles, such as oil and coal. Until he had read the notice of this ques tion, the consideration it suggested had not occurre d t o hi s mind, but he thought it would not be prudent to hold out to soldiers and sailors that the dangers of proceeding across the sea were such as to require that transports should proceed with a consort. (Hear, hear.)] EXAMINATION AT HAILEYBIJRY. Mr. HORSFALL asked the President of the Board of Control, whether any and what regulations have been made for the examination of candidates for admission to the college at Haileybury; and how it is proposed that va cancies occurring between the 30th day of April last, when the civil patronage of the directors ceased, and the coming into operation orthe new system, shall be filled up. Sir C. WOOD saiil th regulations which were being prepared by a committee, presided over to-day by Mr. Macaulay, would be issued very shortly. TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Lord President of the Council, whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment to proceed with the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill, and the Marriage and Divorce Bill ; and whether they intend to introduce, in the present session, a bill for the improvement of the ecclesiastical courts in matters of church discipline. Lord J. RUSSELL said it was the intention of the Go vernment to proceed with the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill on Monday, the 3d of July, but as the Divorce Bill had not yet come down from the Lords, he could not state what could be done with regard to that. It was not in tended to introduce a bill this session for the improvement of Ecclesiastical Courts in matters of church discipline. LORD DRUMLANRIG. Mr. OLIVERI A wished to ask the noble lord the Pre sident of the Council a question on a subject affecting the character and position of a member of the house. (Hear, hear.) A case occurred yesterday in the Sheriffs Court, from which it appeared that the noble lord the Comptroller of her Majesty's Household had backed a prize fighter, named Johnny Walker, to fight another—Hayes—for 1,000/. a side, and he wished to ask the noble lord whether it was the intention of the Government to institute any inquiry into the subject, with the view of ascertaining whe ther a noble lord, having propensities of that charac ter—(la.ughter)—WAS the fittest person to be in constant perional communication with her Majesty. (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL had seen the report of the case re ferred to, but:Sa far as h.; at present was informed he did not think it necessary to institute any inquiry into the matter. (Hear.) to3l_ta,rk.ec ttn E SlC ti A on T a l i o:T ti A ln L ates ESTIMATES. asked the noble lord when ho proposed Lord J. RUSSELL replied—On Friday neat (this day week). OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. On the order of the day for; resuming the debate on th e The CHANCELLOR of th e B CRoTTER re port on this bill, H moved the Nrl o v ti s — la — rrowby and th e as Com m i ss i oners. insertion of the names of the Ba _Right Honourable C. Cornewall .6 e . concurrence The motion was agreed to. Mr. MANGLES moved the omission of the name of the Hon. Sir J. T. Coleridge from the commissioners, „ ""e tended that Sir J. T. Coleridge had given hi:ecr-n. lie 'en" to all the opinions of Dr. Newman ; and on the trial o f Achilli v. Newman, Sir J. Coleridge, the judge o deli vered the judgment of the court, delivered a high pane gyric on the writings of Dr. Newman, and ho maintained that the Government had gone out of their way to select such a gentleman to be one of the Oxford Commissioners. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that with respect to Mr. Justice Coleridge, the hon. gentleman spokeof it as if it was an analogy to an appo int m en t of that learned judge by the Government. The wish of the Government was to place upon the commission the names of gentlemen approved by the University and the country. He elieved the bra of the University lay between the two extremes of opinion, which characterised two parties in it, and were not coloured by those opinions, and he thought Mr. Justice Coleridge was highly respected by the large majority of the university. With reference to the lan guage attributed by the hon. member to Mr. Justice Cole ridge, the hon. member ought in fairness to have stated from what source he derived that language, and he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) felt bound to say, that he did not believe that Mr. Justice Coleridge had used the language attributed to him. Mr. WALPOLE said the Government, and not the House of Commons, must be considered as responsible for the appointment of the Oxford commissioners, and he must say, for himself, that the present commissioners were not altogether the gentlemen he should have selected, but at the same time, to avoid personal disquisitions of a most painful and disagreeable nature, he thought the house should acquiesce in the list of commissioners named by the Government, and as for Mr. Justice Coleridge, he believed that that learned judge was far above being swayed in the discharge of any duty imposed upon him, either by political, or party, or religious considerations, and there fore he trusted the house would not acquiesce in the mo tion of the hon. member (Mr. Mangles). Mr. HORSMAN thought they must postpone personal considerations in such a matter as this to a grave public duty ; and he considered that in sending down a com missioner entrusted with high powers to Oxford, they must not forget that that gentleman had himself been subjected to the gravest censure of the university. The hon. member entered at considerable length into the re ligious movement which has been going on at Oxford for the last twenty yens, connecting Mr. Justice Cole ridge as having been prominently mixed up with that movement, and he thought that for this particular appoint ment there was such responsibility that the house ought not to shrink from the responsibility of rejecting this appointment. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought that without dis cussing the merits of individuals, the list of commissioners selected by the Government showed a sincere wish to provide the best qualified men for that important duty. With re spect to Mr. Justice Coleridge no one disputed his probity or honour, and as for his high position as a judge and his taste for literature, he thought no valid objection could be made to him ; and he thought the question for the house to decide was, not the opinions of Mr. Justice Cole ridge, but whether the Government had made a selection of gentlemen qualified to fulfil their important duty. Mr. DRUMMOND supported the retention of the name of Mr. Justice Coleridge. The house was about to divide, when there were loud cries of " Agreed," and Mr. MANGLES said he would with draw his motion. The motion was then withdrawn, and the name of Sir J. T. Coleridge was added to the list of Commissioners, Several verbal amendments in the bill were then agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed to add to the 31st section an amendment intended plainly to express what he understood to be the intention of the house, viz., that it should be lawful for the commissioners with the consent of the colleges, to alter the statutes with respect to the eligibility of headships, so as to ensure the same being conferred according to personal merits. Mr. HENLEY thought this might lead to some confu sion and suggested that it should be postponed. Lord J. RUSSELL thought that it would be better to agree to the amendment, which would then be printed in the bill, and might be considered by those hon. gentlemen who took an interest in the question. The matter could then be finally disposed of on the third reading. The amendment was then agreed to. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE then proposed to omit clause 33, enabling the university after a lapse of 50 years to alter the trusts of any donation or bequest. He strongly objected to this clause as against the best interests of the university. No one would leave any property upon trust or imike any donation, when, after the lapse of 80 years, his intention could be set aside. The hon. member pro ceeded to quote Burke and other authorities in favour of prescription, and contended that in everything in which the education of youth was concerned the Legislature should be very cautious in permitting any violation of the intention of donors. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the clause was very similar in spirit to the clause in the Trusts Act, which gave power to vary the trust. It appeared to him that they could not carry out the main principle of the bill without - a secular power was given. The lion. and learned member had quoted Burke, but there was another high authority (Lord Bacon) who suggested that when time and long existence had weakened any institution, power should be given to reinvigorate and restore it. Mr. PHILLIMORE declined dividing the house, and the clause was agreed to. Clause N, with some verbal amendments, was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said with reference to the veto clause, which had been carried by the hon. and learned member for Plymouth, that it was not the intention of the Government to attempt to disturb the decision of the house by proposing to rescind the clause. Ho was glad to say that some of the working objections had been removed by the amendments introduced by the hon. and learned member himself, while the principle re mained intact. Although he did not propose to ask the house to throw out the clause, he hoped it would agree to two motions respecting it. He intended to propose a clause the effect of which would be, that in all cases where the veto should be exercised, whether by the college or the governing body of the school, and where no scheme was accepted, a scheme which had been rejected should, with- out waiting for the report of the commissioners, be sub mitted to one of the Secretaries of State, with a view of having it brought under the notice of the Legislature. He intended likewise to propose an amendment to the clause, adding after the words "every emolument" the words " other than fellowships or studentships." The object was to leave to the schools endowments made for specific pur poses, but subject to review by the Privy Council. Mr. R. PALMER was obliged to the right hon. gentle man for his explanation, but as the pronosed amendments would, as be conceived, interfere with the principle of his clause, ho should feel it his duty to oppose them. In answer to Mr. WALPOLE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the third reading would be taken on Monday next. Sir J. PAKINGTON hoped that the third reading would be fixed for a later day, as many hon. members would find it inconvenient to attend on Monday next. Lord J. RUSSELL was sorry that he could not comply with the request of the right hon. baronet, but he felt that the house of Lords were most anxious to have the bill before them as speedily as possible. The principle had been so fully discussed that he did not think any further delay necessary. The ainendinents were then agreed to. TOWNS IMPROVEMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 23, Mr. GEORGE proposed that the Si. rating should be raised to 81. Sir J. YOUNG opposed the amendment, thinking that at the proposed rating the constituencies would not be too large. The committee divided — For the amendment 26 Against it Sir R. FERGUSON moved to leave out the words " and all grand jury votes." Mr. KEOGH opposed it. The amendment was negatived without a division. Clauses 23 and 21 were agreed to. On clause 25, Lord NAAS said the object -of this clause was to incor porate wiih this bill a large number of acts of Parlinment, and as he objected to that mode of legislation, as being calculated to create confusion in construing the meaning of the bill, he should move the omission of the clause. Sir J. YOUNG hoped the committee would not accede to the proposition of the noble lord. After a few words from Mr. M.`CANN, Mr. BOWYER admitted the force of the noble lord's objection, but the rejection of this clause might endanger the passing of the bill this session, and he, therefore, pressed the noble lord not to persevere with his amendment. Ire land looked with great anxiety to the passing of the bill this session, and that, to his mind, was an additional rea son for not throwing any obstruction in its way. Colonel DUNNE also urged the noble lord not to press his amendment. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 26, Mr. J. O'CONNELL took exception to the clause, and moved an addition to it, with the view of removing his objections. After some conversation the amendment, like the for mer one, was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to, with some verbal amendments. Clauses 27, 28, and 29 were then agreed to, with some verbal amendments. On clause 30, Sir p. NORREYS moved, as an amen d men t , t o l eave out the words " shall approve," and, to substitute the words " shall not disapprove," the object being to give the person elected, as chairman of the commissioners, the jurisdiction of a magistrate, if the Lord Chancellor did " not disapprove" within ten days after notice of the elec tion. Lord NAAS and Mr. GEORGE opposed the amendment; and after a desultory conversation, the amendment was negatived without a division. Sir R. FERGUSON moved as an amendment, in lines 15 and 16, to leave out, " then in all cases arising under this act, and cognisable by one or more justices of the peace." _ . _ - Lord NAAS opposed it, as it went to make country ma gistrates elective ; and it was negatived. The clause was agreed to, as were clauses 31, 32, and 33. Oa clause 34, Sir R. FERGUSON objected to the powers given to the commissioners to take land. Sir J. YOUNG promised to consider the matter before the report. The clause was agreed to, as were clauses 35 and 36, and the clauses up to 53. Clauses 53 ti 65 inclusive were agreed to. Upon clause 73, Mr. AGLIONBY thought that the penalties in this clause were very unequally arranged. The alternative of a penalty of Os. was fourteen days' imprisonment ; surely thii was too much. Mr. KEOGH promised to take the matter into conside. ration. . The clause was then agreed to. Upon clauses 74 and 75 ' Mr. COGAN o bj ec ted to mendicancy being considered as a crime, in the vague terms of these clauses, and pro posed that the clauses be struck out. The clauses were struck out accordingly. On clause 76 a discussion arose, in the course of which Mr. MAGUIRE suggested that the clause should be altered so as to make people who sent out children to beg amenable to tho law. Mr. KEOGH promised attention to the suggestion, and the clause was negatived. Clauses 77 to 103 were agreed to without amendment. On clause 104, which enumerates the boroughs exempted from the operation of the bill, Mr. VANCE moved that Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Waterford should be described as cities, and not as bo roughs. After a conversation, the amendment was agreed to, as was another substituting Londonderry for Waterford. The scheaules and some new clauses were agreed to. The remaining clauses wore agreed to, the house re sumed, and the bill was reported. IMPROVEMENT OF TOWNS (IRELAND) BILL. The order for the second reading of this bill was read and discharged. CONVICT PRISON (IRELAND) BILL. On the order for the second reading, Mr. BUTT thought that before the second reading the house should have some explanation as to the scope and ob jects of the bill, and the amount of expense it would entail. Sir .1. YOUNG said that the necessity for legislation had arisen from the fact that there was at present no law regulating the management of convict prisons in Ireland, , and the governors had no power to punish convicts in pri sons, nor to employ them out of prison. A bill passed last seision commuted transportation in many eases, and the consequence was that when he (Sir J. Young) last visited Ireland there were upwards of 4,000 convicts of whom the authorities could not dispose, likely to be let loose upon the country, and considerable apprehension was felt in Ireland on the subject. There were only one or two prisons in Ire land where the separate system could be carried on, and it was proposed, under this bill, to make Spike Island available by employing 1,000 convicts on the fortifications. The re mainder would be accommodated at Philipstown, Mount joy, and other prisoners, amongst others a new one to• be built for women, and another for juvenile offenders. It was proposed also to have moveable iron houses, and to employ a portion of the prisoners on public works. A gen tleman who had had much experience in carrying out the convict syLeni at Bermuda, formed one of a commission now employed in making inquiries, and as a first step they recommended the passing of this bill. There was not a single provision which was not in force in every con vict prison and depot in England. Col. DITNNE would not oppose the second reading, but trusted that there would be no unnecessary augmentation of the various prison staffs in Ireland. After a short conversation, the bill was read a second time. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING-, JUNE 24, 1854. PUBLIC REVENUE AND CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. On the order of the day for resuming the discussion on the consideration of the report, Mr. WILSON suggested that the bill should be allowed to plss through its present stage without opposition, and that the adjourned debate should be taken at another op portunity, when the Government would fix a, time at which the subject in debate might be fully discussed. Mr. I. BUTT recommended the hon. gentleman to di vide his bill into two parts, to pass that against which there was no objection, and to leave the other part to be dealt with next year. With a view to put himself in per fect order, he should move the adjournment of the debate. Mr. WILSON said that it would be impossible to follow the course suggested by the hon. and learned member. Mr. NAPIER disputed the correctness of the hon. mem ber's view of the case, and went into the merits of the bill amidst the loudly expressed impatience of the house. Mr. V. SOULLY and Lord NAAS pressed for a post ponement, whereupon, Mr. WILSON said he should refer the further conside ration of the bill till Monday. Mr. I. BUTT gave notice that on Monday be should move that the bill be recommitted. VICE-ADMIRALTY COURT (MAURITIUS) BILL. Mr. F. PEEL explained that the object of the bill was to render valid all decisions given by the judge of the Vice- Admiralty Court at the Mauritius during the time he was not acting under a regular commission from the Govern ment. The bill was then passed through committee. The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Bill was read a second time. SUPPLY. Sir J. GRAHAM said that, notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, he hoped the house would go into committee of supply in order to vote a sum of 20,0001. for the ex penses of prisoners of war, as there was no mode at present of meeting those payments. There was now an opportunity of purchasing a prison in the county of Sussex, at a mode rate price, exceedingly well calculated for the reception of prisoners of war. At the close of the last war the cost of prisoners was nearly 1,000,0001. per annum. There were then three great prisons devoted to that purpose, but since that time they had either been pulled down or transferred to other uses, and at this moment there was no public building applicable to this particular purpose. He only asked for the sum of 20,0001., of which 5,0001. was in tended to be applied to the purchase of the gaol at Lewes. He (lid not anticipate any objection to that vote, and it would expedite the public service if the house would con sent to go into committee of supply. (Hear.) The house then went into committee of supply. Admiral WALCOTT suggested that some of the Queen's ships lying in ordinary should be used to receive prisoners of war. Sir J. GRAHAM said that there.were now several ships at Sheerness which were being prepared for the reception of prisoners of war, and he had confident hopes that before the end of the year they would have inmates to fill both the gaol and the ships. (Laughter.) The vote of 20,000/. was then agreed to, and the house resumed. DUBLIN CARRIAGE BILL. This bill went through committee. POOR-LAW BOARD CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com• mitted on Friday next. UNION CHARGES CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was read a second time. PORTLAND, &c., CHAPELS BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. NEW FOREST BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, when the various clauses were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a second time on Monday. WARWICK ASSIZE BILL. This bill as amended was considered, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. The clauses having been agreed to, Sir J. EAST moved the addition of a clause to the effect that any person who shall, in any part of the United Kingdom, use any dog for the purpose of drawing or helping to draw any cart, carriage, truck, or barrow, shall forfeit and pay a penalty not exceeding 40s. for the first offence, and not exceeding 5/. for the second and every subsequent offence. Afr. - CRAUFURD objected to the introduction of the clause. The committee the divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it l3 Majority The clause was then added to the bill. The following members were appointed as the select committee on the Thames Marshes :—Sir Edmund Filmer, Lord ➢udley Stuart, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Sir John Shelley, Mr. Alderman Cubitt, Viscount Bernard, Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Thomas Greene, Mr. James M`Gregor, Sir William Smijth, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Frewen, Mr. Masters Smith, Mr. Vansittart, and Colonel Dunne. COUNTY COURTS. Mr. CRAUFURD moved for certain returns in connec• tion with the salaries and appointments of county court judges. Lord PALMERSTON objected to some portions of the return, as the reasons for appointment, and the ages of the judges. An hon. MEMBER moved that the house be counted, and there being but 34 members present, the house ad journed at half-past one o'clock. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURN 2. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK.
