Lord FINGALL presented a petition from the in habitants of the county of the town of Drogheda, em bodying a full statement of marine casualti es f or th e last four and a half years, and praying for the most efficient and impartial Government survey of that dangerous coast, in order that a harbour of refuge be constructed in the most judicious position. CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAW. In reply to Lord LYNDHURST, The LORD CHANCELLOR did not intend to in. troduce any bills this session founded upon the reports of the commissioners for the consolidation of the statute law, but the reports would be printed, in order that they might be considered during the recess, but next session he would propose certain bills grounded on the reports with the view of their passing into law. TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL. In answer to Lord ST. LEONARD; The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was the inten Lion of the Government to withdraw for the present session the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill. The reason for taking this course was the difficulty which would arise in considering this bill, without having before them the whole question of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. He, however, meant to go on with the Divorce Bill, which could be easily dealt with separately, and which, if passed, would effect a very necessary and much-desired improvement in the existing law. UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD. The Earl of DERBY presented a petition from 145 resident members of the University of Oxford, against the separation of the University from the Established Church. The Earl of WINCHESTER strongly inveighed against the proposal to separate the University from the Church, which, he said, if carried into effect, would lead to the downfall of the Throne and all our institu tions. UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD BILL. Their lordships then went into committee upon this bill ; Lord REDESDALE in the chair. Lord CANNING moved the postponement of the preamble. - The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said it was very necessary to postpone it, for unless the bill was mate rially altered it would be entirely inconsistent with the preamble. The preamble recited that the measure was one for the " advancement of religion ;" but the bill so far from promoting religion, contained some provisions which might be considered to have an opposite effect. (Hear, hear, from the Earl of Derby.) If the bill were not very much amended, he should certainly move the omission of these words in the preamble. (Hear.) The preamble was then postponed. On clause 1, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved the inser tion of the Earl of Harrowby's name in the first portion of the clause, the object of which was to give precedence to the noble earl over the rest of the commissioners. The amendment was agreed to. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMIONS--(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendment to the Rannow Reclamation Bill and the Traethbach Bridge and Road Bill were con sidered and agreed to. On the motion that the Lords' amendments to the Middlesex Industrial Schools Bill be considered and agreed to, Lord D. STUART moved that the consideration of the amendments be postponed until this day three months. He made that motion because the Lords' had struck out of the bill the provisions which it originally contained for enabling offenders to obtain religious in struction, notwithstanding that they dissented from the Established Church. Offenders "of all denominations were entitled to the consolations of their own religious teachers, and it was nothing less than an act of bigotry and intolerance to refuse them that consolation. There were other amendments of the kind which he objected to, but it was the striking out of this provision relative to the religious instruction that he principally found fault with, and since the amendment made by the Lords had made the bill worse, which he had always objected to, he had no alternative but to move that the Lords' amendments be considered this day three months. Sir J. V. SHELLEY seconded the amendment, be lieving that the reformation of juvenile offenders should be made the subject of a general Government measure, and not dealt with in an isolated manner, throwing the expense of the reformatory schools upon the particular districts in which they were established. The time had gone by for tolerating religious bigotry, it should be scountenanced no matter from what denomination it earns ; and he trusted the house would reject these amendments of the Lords, as they were a complete embodiment of the spirit of Protestant bigotry directed against the civil and religious liberty of Roman Catholics. Mr. NEWDEGATE supported the amendment, believing that it was at variance with the interest of the state to recognise the authority of Roman Catholic priests, even in a private bill, as this one undoubtedly was. The bill, as it had been amended, would be most useful and salutary, but if it were to be tampered with the objectionable provisions rejected by the Lords, it would be a curse rather than a blessing to the me tropolis. Mr. J. BALL opposed the passing of the bill with the clause appended to it, by the committee of the Lords. Sir G. GREY explained the course taken by the com mittee of the Lords in reference to this bill. He read a portion of 7th Geo. IV. c. 74, which enacted that three chaplains shall be appointed for every county prison in Ireland, one Protestant, one Presbyterian, and one Boman Catholic, and which further provided for the celebration of divine worship according to each of those three forms of worship every Sunday in those prisons. He was prepared to disagree with the Lords' amendment, but he was not disposed to support the motion of Lord D. Stuart as it would have the effect'of rejecting the bill together. At the same time, seeing the prospect there was of the passing of the Juvenile Offenders Bill which contained the provision struck out of this bill, if the house thought the Lords would not be induced to recon sider their decision, perhaps the best course -vould be to reject these amendments altogether. Mr. MILES opposed the motion to reject the bill. Lord D. STUART said after what had fallen from the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for the colo nies, he was prepared to chan ge his motion for another, i_a namely, that the house dee ment, gree with the Lords' amend- Mr. M. MILNES hoped the bill Mr. LUCAS argued that the .7ould be withdrawn. amendments was to change the char :rot of the Lords' a reformatory bill to a proselytising i t of the bill from be called upon the house not to rele . ct,' and de therefore e a f l o t o r e . gether, but simply to disagree with the Lords' amend ments. Lord D. STUART, as the member in charg e of +l., bill, begged the house to allow him to rema.rlcihat-t-hles debate was another illustration of how religious ences could stand in the way of useful legislation, differ ences hear.) However, all he asked the house to do was, e to reject the Lords' amendments, as that course wouldnt be tantamount to throwing out the bill for the sessio Mr. ADDERLEY said, the clause which had been struck out by the Lords was wholly impracticable ; if it had remained in the bill the measure would have been useless, and although he was by no means deficient in religious tolerance, he thought the Lords had acted wisely in rejecting the clause. (Hear, hear.) The clause was simply this ; it empowered the children of all denominations to be instructed by their own re ligious teachers, according to the religious persuasion of their parents, so that, if a child's parents were to pro fess infidelity, this clause would insist upon the child being brought up in these reformatory schools to entertain the same opinions. (Cheers.) After some observations from Colonel Blair, Mr. Williams and Mr. Dunlop, the amendment that the Lords' amendments be considered this day three months vas withdrawn. A portion of the Lords' amendments, which were of a verbal nature, were then agreed to. Lord D. STUART moved to disagree with the Lords' amendments, which prevented children of other religious denominations than the Established Church from having divine worship celebrated in these schools according to their own faith. Sir J. PAKINGTON said if the house rejected these amendments the bill was lost for this session. Lord J. RUSSELL did not think so, the Lords might be induced to (reconsider their amendments, and since he thought children of all denominations were en titled to the religions instruction of their own pastors he could not agree with the Lords in their amendments. After some observations from Mr V. SCULLY, the house divided, when th ere appeared— . For the Lords' amendments l5l Against them The lords' amendments were secordinziv a g reed to. There was another amend ment of icressimporunt character, which Lord Dudley Stuart moved the'house to disagree with. The house again divided, when there appeared— For the Lords' amendment 202 Against them 67 Majority. The Lords' amendments were then agreed to. [LEFT SITTING.] THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

Lord CANNING Moved the second reading of the Oxford University ilill. Having traced the various phases of the question from a period anterior to the issue of the commission of inquiry, the noble lord said the spirit in which legislation was now proposed was that of a desire to lay down, beyond the risk of disturbance, the fnndamental principle of representation in the go vernment of the university. The bill, therefore, whilst prescribing, in an obligatory form, certain changes, left both the university and the colleges at liberty, to a limited extent, to carry out that principle. Having vin dicated the authority of Parliament over the university, he described the constitution and functions of the govern. ing body as proposed by the bill, observing that, being based upon representation, it seemed responsibility and harmonious action. Provision was next made for the establishment of private halls, by which poor students would be enabled to reap the benefits of university edu cation without incurring the heavy expenses attendant on residence iu colleges. At present the expenses of an undergraduate, at any college or ball, for three years, could not be estimated at less than 600/. ; and he knew lof no better way of reducing this great amount than by enabling masters to open their houses as private halls. The principle of competition was thereby introduced, from which he anticipated great benefits to persons of moderate means in the education of their sons. This competition in tuition would elevate the character of the teachers and improve the class of fellows in some of the colleges ; and it was a provision which the Govenment could on no account consent to yield or modify, believing, as they did, it was much more advantageous to the univer sity itself than the scheme suggested by the hebdomadal board. He then referred to the changes made in the measure since its first introduction, and vindi cated the policy of the Government in accepting them. Their general effect in the most important par ticulars was to render the measure of an enabling cha racter, and he denied that in any respect they were open to the charge of spoliation or disregard of founders' intentions. The right of preference belonging to schools would not be abolished, and the commissioners would have power to aid the enlargement of the professoriate for the benefit of the university. He next described the machinery by which the bill would be carried out. Com missioners were appointed, whose powers he admitted were extensive, but they were not dangerous, whilst they were effective for the object in view. Two clauses were in the bill as it now stood which had been intro duced into it during its passage through the House of Commons. He alluded to those which provided that no oath should be necessary on matriculation save the oath of allegiance, nor upon taking the first degree. The object of these clauses was the admission of Dissenters to the benefits of the university. He frankly admitted that the Government would have preferred the decision of this question to have been left to the university itself ; but a large majority in the other house, composed in part of persons who bad been prominent in asserting the privileges of Oxford, bad decided otherwise. Having traced the progress of legislation in favour of Dissent ers of late years, he submitted that their admission to university privileges could not now be refused, regard being paid to the relations subsisting between the uni versity and the State. The noble lord concluded by urging upon the house that the changes now proposed would enable the University of Oxford to fulfil its edu cational duties in a manner satisfactory to the country. The Earl of DERBY congratulated Lord Canning upon having, on the 6th day of July, been the only mem ber of the Government who had been able to bring for ward any of the measures promised at the beginning of the session which had obtained the sanction of the House of Commons. Ironically observing that it had gone through five editions, and the most remarkable metamorphoses, he said that nevertheless it contained a great deal of matter that required most serious con sideration. This was the first direct interference of Par liament with the internal constitution and management of either of the great universities ; and he contended that it went beyond what was necessary to effect the al terations required in the discipline of the university. A measure of an enabling character, if introduced with a friendiy feeling, and in due communication with the go verning body, would have done all that was necessary. The university itself, however, had sought to amend its own constitution, and to extend its benefits. When he was in office, application was made to him for a charter enabling the university to deal with the Caroline sta tutes, to alter the constitution of the governing body, and to restrict in certain respects the law of mortmain. He advised, however, that a petition to the Crown for a charter should not be presented until an act of Par liament had been passed of an enabling character ; but within a month from that period he resigned office. The present Government then intimated their intention of dealing with the question of reform ; but beyond the re commendations of the royal commissioners, the univer sity had no means of knowing what was expected from them. The university lost no time in applying them- selves to the consideration of those recommendations, and, having done so, they issued a report, the merits of which deserved their lordships' most favourable r egar d . 1 Complaining that the university had no knowledge what ever of the intentions and requirements of the Govern ment until the 17th March last, when the first bill was printed, he compared the constitution of the governing body of the university as proposed by the bill and that proposed by the hebdomadal board. The result of the comparison was a conclusion that the body contemplated by the bill would prove useless, obstructive, and mis chievous, whilst that proposed by the university was more liberal in its character and more likely to produce unity of action. The university had not manifested the sensitiveness which he expected on the appointment of commissioners ; but he regarded it as a dangerous pre cedent, destructive to the independence of the university. As he did not desire to prevent legislation on this sub ject, he should abstain from opposing their appointment; but he should endeavour to place some further limitation upon their powers. In committee he should move se veral amendments, one of which would be, that the le gislation of the colleges, to give effect to their own sta tutes, should be with the consent of their visitors. He should further object to the provision which required that no oath taken by any officer of the university, or of any college, should be pleadable in bar to the authority of the commissioners. He objected, too, to the esta blishment of private halls, and contended that his noble friend had greatly exaggerated the necessary expenses of a university education. He estimated them at less than one-half the amount which had been stated, and he de nied that private halls could give either so good or so cheap an education as the colleges. They would subvert and destroy the discipline of the university and establish mischievous distinctions ; whilst he submitted that the university might be extended without them—through means which he pointed out—and which already prevailed in Dublin. He expressed a fear that these halls, in con nection with the operation of the clauses abolishing the oath on matriculation and admission to the first degree, would introduce elements of discord fatal to discipline. The noble lord concluded by shadowing forth the nature of the amendments he intended to move in committee. Lord CANNING then replied, and the bill was read the second time without further discussion. Some other bills on the paper were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned at nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) THE PARKS. An HON. MEMBER begged, on the part of the hon. mem ber for Dumfries (Mr. E wart), to inquire of the First Com missioner of Public Works, whether there is any prospect that the home-park at Hampton-Court Palace will be thrown open to the public ; also, whether seats will be provided round the trees in Kensington -gardens as well as in Hyde-park for the accommodation of tho public ? The honourable gentleman also wished to know if the seats would be covered. Sir W. MOLESWORTH—In reply to the first question I have to inform the honourable gentleman that I have no power whatever over the home park, or Hampton-court Palace or park ; and I am not aware of any prospect of their being so opened. With regard to the second ques tion, I have to state that 120 seats have been ordered for the parks, 60 of those seats will be put in St. James's park, Hyde-park, and K ens i ngton -gardens; and some of the seats will be under the trees in Kensington-gardens , but there is no intention to have them covered. IMPLEMENTS FOR THE CAMPAIGN. Mr. HADFIELD begged to ask the Clerk of the Ord nance whether any complaint has reached the board rela tive to the bad quality o f t h e hatchets an d otherimple ments issued to the troops in Turkey; and whether the saidby and of ho articles werewmamnuf and whetheracturedo purchase competitionrchase d mitted ? atShe is ffi p el e d r , and. Mr. MONSELL—In answer to the question of the hon. gentleman, I beg, i n th e fi rs t place, to put him out of all pain and apprehension on the subject. The articles referred to Web not manufactured or purchased in the town of Sheffield, b u t I shall be a bl e t o s h o w him that if they had b een o b tained there they wou ld h ave d one no dis credit to that t own. The statement i n th e p a per to whi c h the hon. g en tl eman refers me is firs t , th a t th e h a t c h e t s , bill-hooks, a n d adzes furnished ' to t h e men o f the va r i ous regiments in th e East re of a bad quality ; and next, that the tools o f th e not a sufficient sappersy. With r egard to the second point, I have re ce i ve d a communication, w hi c h I s h a ll rea d, f rom Sir John Burgoyne. Burgoy supply. a an d miners are bad, and there is H e says that the commanding engi neer in the East has not made any complaint about the quality of th e entrenching tools sen t ou t. A s regar d s th e quantity, it was su ffi c i en t f o r the operations at Gallipoli ; but though there was some a pprehension, from the addi tional supply being detained at Malta , that t he y wo u l d not have ar r i ve d in time, only a few were required, which were purch ase d at Constantinople, and the further supply was received f rom Malta. (H ear .) With regard to th e other point, i n reference t o th e hatchets, bill-hooks, and adzes, that were said to be f urn i s h e d to the army i n th e East, there are no hatchets furnished to the army, neither are there adzes. I presume the writer meant axes ; both bill-hooks and axes have been supplied to the army in the East. A complaint was sent—l think, from the Guards, through Lord Raglan—to the Ordnance, with regard to the structure of the bill-hooks and the quality of the axes ; and the explanation sent by the Ordnance to Lord Raglan was considered entirely satisfactory. (Hoar, hear.) When this subject was brought to my attention by the honourable member for Sheffield, I caused different spe cimens of the articles to be brought up from the stores, and had them examined by Sir John Burgoyne and other competent persons, and they considered that as to pattern and quality they were excellent. It would be strange if it were not so, for the patterns were arranged, after the most careful consideration, by a committee in 1827, assisted by Major-General Miller, Major Jones, and Mr. Wright, then senior clerk of the works in the employ ment of the Ordnance. Tenders are issued for those ma terials, and the specifications are extremely minute. The articles are furnished, not by open competition, but con tractors of proved respectability are put upon the Ord nance list. When these articles are required copies of tenders are sent to those persons and they send in their tenders. Therefore, it is not correct to say that respect able and competent persons have to contend with persons who are not respectable. There has been since these com plaints have been made a committee apointed by the Board of Ordnance, with an engineer officer at the head of them; and though they iinTo not yet concluded their la, hours, in their opinion the articles submitted to them are of good quality and proper character. (Hear, hear.) The axes to which I presume reference is made have been sup plied by Mr. Elwin, the eminent manufacturer of Wed nesbury, from a pattern brought over by the Guards from America, after the rebellion in Canada, and it was con sidered the best for the purpose that it was possible to get. As to the question whether the people of Sheffield would be allowed to compete for these articles on fair terms, I beg to inform the hon. gentleman that no greater service can bo rendered to the Ordnance than that those gentle men should compete for these articles, and every facility shall be given to them to do so. It is an error to think that nothing is considered but the price, for the quality of the articles is severely tested; and never have there been any complaints as to the mode in which the review of the articles has been conducted, except that the review has been considersd by some persons to be too strict. MR S*ABEtS DEFALCATION. Sir WILLOUGHBY begged to ask the Secretary of the Treasury whether the report of the committee of in quiry (appointed by a Treasury minute, November 8, 1853) into the matter of Mr. Swabey's defalcation, can be placed on the table of the house. Mr. WILSON—There is a report on this subject, and there is no objection to lay it upon the table of the house if the hon. gentleman will move for it. RIFLE ARMS. Colonel DUNNE begged to ask the Clerk of the Ordnance what arms are to be given to the Rifle Brigade lately or dered on foreign service • whether the Brunswick rifl e , th e pattern of 1851, or the Enfield pattern, No. 2, the last adopted by the Board of Ordnance ? Mr. MONSELL—The pattern of 1851. PUBLIC WORKS. Mr. DUNCOMBE said he had moved for a return rela tive to public works on the Bth of M but had not yet been able to obtain it. His right hon. friend the Chief Commissioner of Public Works told him that it had been sent to the Treasury, but when he asked the Secretary of the Treasury for it he told him he had not got it ; so be tween the Board of Works and the Treasury it was impos sible to get this return. He wished therefore to ask where the return was, what had become of it, and why it was not laid upon the table? Mr. WILSON—The return was made by the Board of Works and sent to the Treasury, from whence it was found necessary to send it to the Home-office. At the Home-office some documents were to be added to it, and which were added to it this day ; and I promise that it shall be laid on the table in a few days. (Hear, hear.) PUBLIC EDUCATION. Lord J. RUSSELL laid papers upon the table, includ ing a minute of the Committee of Council on Education. THE INDIAN BUDGET. Captain BELLEW begged to ask the right hon. gentle man the President of the Board of Control at what time it was his intention to make his financial statement rela tive to the affairs of India? Sir C. WOOD—In consequence of the pressure of busi ness which it is desirable to send to the other house, I be. lieve I shall not be able to make the statement before Mon. day the 24th. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The house went into committee of supply— Mr. Bonverie in the chair. THE IRISH REGIUNI DONUH. It was proposed that a sum not exceeding 38,7451. should be voted to defray the expenses of Nonconformist and Pro testant Dissenters in Ireland. Mr. BRIGHT strongly condemned the grant as being, in the words of Dr. Candlish, " the hush-money of the State," which ought to be rejected by the Presbyterians of the north of Ireland, who could so well afford to support their own clergymen without the aid of this Regium donum. As, however, he had no hope of defeating the grant, on which the subsistence of some hundred of clergymen de pended, he only sought to get an assurance from Lord John Russell that the vote should not be expansive—that it should not be increased, and that some definite period might be named when it should cease for ever. He wi•-hed to have a discussion upon the question, and a division upon its principle, and he should therefore only move to nega tive the increase proposed on the vote of last year. Mr. KIRK supported the grant in its full extent, de claring that the ministers among whom it was distributed performed most beneficial services to the country. Mr. HADFIELD hoped that the Presbyterian and all other dissenting bodies would soon recognise the duty of refusing all alms from the State. Mr. CAIRNS urged that the vote was secured by con tract with the parties for whom it was intended, and therefore could not be retrenched. Mr. V. SCULLY agreed with the hon. and learned gen tleman that the grant rested in a great degree on a national contract. He should vote in favour of it. He thought, however, that the proper course for the hon. member for Manchester to adopt was to bring iu a bill to upset all Church establishments. If he did so he should vote with him. (Loud cries of " divide.") Lord NA AS thought that the course taken by the sup porters of the voluntary principle in that house was rather unfair, and, if successful, would, he feared, prove very unfortunate. The great question of whether or no there should be grants of public money for religious purposes was far too large a one to be decided in discussions like the present. It was not fair to select a small vote here and there for the purposes of opposition. Let the opponents of State endowments bring in a bill or a resolution, and then the question could be decided broadly on its merits. With respect to the mode of distribution, he thought it admi rably adapted to prevent the abuses which had been charged by the hon. member for Manchester. The Church autho rities and the executive government were both responsible for its distribution, and if any specific complaint were ad vanced, would give it the most careful investigation. Mr. PRICE was determined to divide against the grant. As the Unitarians had been alluded to he had only to say with regard to that body, that they never had, and he hoped they never would ask any religious endowments from the State. (Hear.) Mr. SPOONER said that if any section of the Presby terian body in Ireland denied any of the great truths of Christianity, he should oppose their getting any portion of the public money, but as the vote was for the whole body he was unable to make the distinction. Mr. W. J. FOX said the hon member could have no difficulty in distinguishing the amount paid to the Uni tarians from that which the Trinitarians received ; for he might see from the estimates that while the former body were paid only 1501., the sum set down to the credit of the latter was 2501. (Hear, hear.) Now, some hon. members had attempted to justify the grant under their notice upon the ground of its being a subsidy to those by whom the people of Ireland were prevented from the com mission of crime. The diminution of crime in Ireland might, however, be attributed in no small degree, he believed, to the extension of the system of national educa tion in that country—a system under whose operations instruction was given to members of all religions, without distinction of sect or denomination. Ho should oppose the grant under consideration, because he held it to be one which was evidently pernicious in its result, which could not be identified with any great advantage conferred upon the people of Ireland, and which violated the principle that Government should deal with questions simply of a politi cal and temporal nature, leaving those of a religious cha. ratter to the conscience of individuals themselves Mr. NAPIER considered this vote as one of Parliamen tary contract. Persons were induced years ago to go over to Ireland and colonise Ulster, and a Parliamentary con tract was then entered into to support their ministers, who were of the Presbyterian faith. He should therefore support the vote, on the ground that the credit of Parlia ment was pledged to it. Lord J. RUSSELL said, after what had fallen from the hon. member for Manchester with regard to himself, he did not like to let the committee come to a division on the vote without saying a few words on the subject. He could have wished that the example of the hon. member for Man chester had been followed, and that the subject of this vote had been kept clear of all disputes about religious questions. The hon member for Manchester, however, and others had started questions with regard to the Unitarians, which he confessed it would have been better to have kept clear of this vote ; but though that hon. gentleman had sot,f given the debate a religious turn, he, like Mr. Br f igh willing to enter into the general questionto of grants to a matter of principle, the state ought whether, aw as u a n s - At the same time religious bodies at all. (Hear, y he must observe that the hon. mhemeaobferwfheriellahnocil(lenset,evrllyeall a great advantage in this respect, how to make use. The noble lord themmemod'aeerofforpiCooeleeerdaiinnge had truly observed that the proper should be moved, upon was, that some general resolution which a discussion could be taken upon the whole qi:es tion, but the hon. gentleman the member for Manchester, 11 known whose opinions were we upon the subject, w as fully alive to the advantage of incidentally bringing for ward the question, and making his views act upon the public out of doors without the other side of the question being heard at all. (Hear, hear.) Nobody knew better than the hon. member for Manchester, how great an ad vantage he derived from that mode of arguing the question, and he was afraid the hon. member would be slow to take the advice of the noble lord the member for Coleraine, and give the house a fair opportunity of discussing the whole question. (Hear.) With regard to the vote itself there appeared to him to be two grounds upon which it could be supported. One was the ground which the hon. and learned gentleman had just referred, namely, the ground of con tract, and the fair expectations of the Presbyterian body. (Hear.) It could not be denied that when the Presbyte rians settled in Ulster, and when they wore afterwards en gaged in supporting the throne of William 111., and sub sequently at the time of the Union between this country and Ireland, expectations were held to them that they were entitled to support from Parliament for the ministers of their religion. (Hear, hear.) He could not think that when they claimed the fulfilment of the expectations held out to them, when they asked for the fulfilment of what might be called a contract, they were liable to the imputa tions which had been cast upon them to-night. (Hear, hear.) But then it might be said, without entering into auy of these questions of religious difference, that the policy of the state was manifestly against supporting these Presbyterian ministers, and in that case the honourable member for Manchester suggested that, without negativ ing the vote, there might be an engagement entered into by which the present ministers should be supported by the vote, and by which the grant should gradually cease. He, however, should be sorry to see that course taken, be cause he believed it was exceedingly useful to the state that this grant should be continued, for, putting aside the peculiar doctrines which they entertained, he could not but say that the teaching of these ministers had a great and beneficial effect upon the morality of the people amongst whom they lived. (Hear, hear.) From that morality the state derived benefit. When fewer persons were sent to prison, when fewer criminal acts were committed, the state was put to less expense, and hence the state derived great benefit from this absence of crime. (Hear, hear.) H e sa id, then, that he believed that no men had more contributed to the mora lity that prevails amongst the Presbyterian body in Ire land than their religious teachers, and therefore they were justly entitled to this grant. (Hear, hear.) If it were now proposed to make the grant for the first time, he did not know that he should support it, but it came before him now more in the shape of a contract than a grant, and see ing the beneficial effects with which this grant was attended, he should certainly give his vote for it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT wished before the division was called to explain the question he proposed they should divide upon. It was not that the grant should be entirely rejected, but that it should be reduced by 3461. 3s. 4d., which the esta blishment of new congregations had necessitated, and the vote left at the same amount as last year. (Hear.) It was unnecesary for him to reply to the noble lord, because tne extreme difficulty which the noble lord had evidently felt in making out any case for 'he grant showed the necessity for repealing it. (Hear. The committee then divided, when there appeared— For the ame n dment 62 Against it 149-87 The vote was then agreed to. 6,4261. for charitable and other allowances in Ireland. Mr. W. WILLIAMS complained of the miscellaneous character of the items in this vote--one of which was for the supply of water to a portion of Dublin. Mr. WILSON said that some of these grants bad existed since the reign of Charles 11, (Laughter.) They were in the nature of those small charities which were distributed in this country by. the Queen—the Lord Lieutenant having the distribution of them in Ireland. Mr. MICHELL took objection to an item of 2001. in the vote for the purpose of vaccination. He recommended that a general vote of 5001. should be taken for vaccination in Ireland, instead of so much for one institution and so much for another. Sir J. V. SHELLEY hoped the principle of supplying fresh water would be carried out in the metropolis. After a conversation, the vote was agreed to. 11,8551. for the expenses of the General Board of Health. Sir G. PECHELL said he had understood that the board was to be abolished, with all its nuisances, on the Ist of September next. The present vote would be most unacceptable to the public t for everywhere there were complaints and disapproval of the management of the board. He would move a reduction of 5,0001. in the amount of this vote. The board, in their report, repre sented that considerable sums were repayable from the towns where the act had been introduced; but he should like to know what was done in the case of a town that re jected the embraces of the board? (Laughter.) Brighton was one out of about 50 that had done so; and he should like to see them getting a farthing out of Brighton for the expenses that had been incurred. Lord PALMERSTON said that if this board were abo lished, much odium would be thrown on the Government. If the population of this country had never been decimated by the want of sanatory arrangements, persons might stand up and object to an organisation for promoting those arrangements; but when these visitations had occurred twice, and we had a warning last year, he was surprised at such a view being advocated. In all towns there were two parties, something like whigs and tories ; one was the clean party, and the other was the dirty party. (Cheers and laughter.) His honourable friend had shown, in the case of Brighton, that the clean party could not make the dirty party submit to them, if they were not in a majority, and he had also shown that provisional orders were frequently rejected by that house. This was a proof that the Board of Health had no absolute power. He admitted that the constitution of the board required alteration. (Hear, hear.) They were not represented in that house by any officer having power over them, as the first commissioner of works was merely a member of the board. He (Lord Palmerston) had given notice of a bill for to-morrow to re-constitute the board for a limited time—two years. He thought that the care of the public health fell naturally within the office of the Home Secretary. He should therefore propose to continue the board of three members as at present—two paid and one unpaid ; but to subject them to receive instructions from the Secretary of State, thus giving him a controlling power to sanction or rescind their proceedings, and render ing him liable to answer to that house for what was done by the board. He did not say that there was any neces sity for the permanent continuance of the board. When local boards were established the direction of the general board almost ceased. (Hear, hear.) Lord SEYMOUR said the proceedings of the board had made all sanitary proceedings unpopular. (Cheers.) Last year the Government had promised an amendment of the General Board of Health ; but the house had heard of no such amendment. Surely it was inconsistent to call on the house to vote the means for the continuance of the board, when the Government themselves admitted that it ought to be amended. Though the burial board had been abo lished, the commissioner had been retained. (Hear, hear ) The Government had no control over the board, and the only way to bring them to reason was to stop their salaries. (Hear.) He (Lord Seymour) was quite ready to admit that a Board of Health, under proper management, would be a valuable public institution. They knew the odour in which the Poor Law Board stood before the house when it was under the management of the same person who was now at the head of the Board of Health ; but who had ever heard a complaint against it since it had been under the management of Mr. Baines? (Loud cheers.) He thought that the Government would do well to with draw this vote for the present. (Cheers.) Viscount PALMERSTON had answered the speech of the noble lord by anticipation. The noble lord's whole argument was founded on the assumption that the present system was to be continued, but he had expressly stated that it would be materially altered by the bill he intended to intended to introduce to-morrow. Lord SEYMOUR said that all he wished for was that the noble lord's bill should be introduced before they were asked to agree to this vote. The noble lord was great at promisin g bills. (Laughter.) Sir B. HALL thought the objections of the noble lord perfectly just, for he understood the bill proposed to con stitute a board consisting of two paid and one unpaid mem ber, which was exactly its present composition. (Hear, hear.) The hon. baronet proceeded to reiterate the charges brought by Lord Seymour against Mr. Chadwick and Dr. Southwood Smith. He had taken the trouble to trace the history of the former gentleman, since 1831 down to the present time, and he found nothing but a series of failures. After Mr. Chadwick left the poor law board, he turned his attention to sanitary matter, and he had on every occasion quarrelled with his colleagues, and led to the dissolution of every commission of sewers with which he had been con nected. It might perhaps be asked why he, a metropolitan member, took so great an interest in the matter, inasmuch as the Board of Health did not apply to the metropolis ; the reason was this, the board had on several occasions at tempted to extend its power to the metropolis, and one day it might be successful. (Hear.) A particular instance of this occurred in the case of the Burial Act, where the Board of Health issued regulations of so stringent a nature that great concern was excited in the metropolis, and it was only quieted by an announcement from the Home-office, which implied that those regulations were of no force. With re gard to the other member of the board (Dr. S. Smith) that gentleman was appointed to office under the Metropolian Burial Act. That act, however, turned out a failure, and was repealed. But Dr. S. Smith was not so easily got rid of, and although the act was abolished that gentleman re mained. In 1852 Lord J. Manners requested the house to pass a vote of 1,2001. a year for Dr. Smith, saying that that would be the last occasion for so doing. But this was the second session since that, and yet the house was still called upon for this vote. If the noble lord really desired to do any good by the measure, he ought totally to reconstruct this board—unless that were done, but little good would come of the proposed bill. He would only say this, that if it were obligatory on the house to pay Mr. Chadwick and Dr. S. Smith 1,5001, and 1,2001. respectively, he would ad vise that the money should be given to them in order that they might be sent about their business at once. Lord PALMERSTON said, that with reference to the question put by the noble lord (Seymour) as to alterations in the report, made in the course of printing, he had only to state that, as it was the report of the Board of Health, that Board had a perfect right to make such an alterations in it as they might think desirable, in order to put Par liament in possession of all the facts. He had no control whatever over them in that respect. The bill which he proposed to introduce would give him a control over the Board, and although it had been said that nobody could keep those gentlemen in order, he ventured to think that any one in his position, having the necessary legal powers, would be able to accomplish even that feat. (" Hear," and laughter.) Mr. HEADLAM protested against the imputations which had been thrown out against the town of Newcastle not wc so at There were some parts of the town which le he itself. clean as perhaps might be desired , but on considered the town as clean as the metropolis tllewho p os sess the confidence did not With regard to the Board of Health, he could only say that, inasmuch as that body constituted. id that although he could not of the country, it could never be useful as at present L or d PALMERSTON sa assent to the motion of the bon. baronet (Sir G. Pechell) andpostpone his vote • (Lord Seymour) he had no objection to fall in with the proposal of his noble friend he had brough t in his bill Mr. A. PELLAT T said that a new bill would be of no us e if it continued the prese n t construction of the Board of . After a few words from Sir J. SHELLEY and Mr. BR IGHT , recom mending the withdrawal of the a men d men t , Health. Sir G. PECHELL withdrew it accordingly, and The vote was postponed. On the vote of 19,9301. for the Incumbered Estates Court, Sir J. YOUNG, in reply to a question from Mr. I. Butt, said Government were sensible to the inconvenience of having a court unattended by a sufficient bar, and attempts had been made to bring the Encumbered Estates Court nearer to the Four Courts of Dublin. A stone court had been in contemplation, but as that would take some time and occasion a considerable outlay, it was proposed to pro vide a temporary court in a convenient situation near the other courts. After a few observations from Mr. VANCE, the vote was agreed to. 15,0001. for the charity commission was next proposed. Mr E ELLICE complained that this commission was a delusion, and utterly useless for the purposes for which it was established. The public hoped when the commission was established that they would have the requisite powers to carry out their duties, but the only power they had was the power to inquire,, and to enable the trustees to apply to the Court of Chancery for amendment of the schemes on which the charity was administered. He considered that the commissioners ought to have the power to frame schemes, and if not to carry them into effect, at least to propose them for Parliamentary sanction, otherwise this expenditure of 15,000/. a year might well be saved. He hoped there would be an efficient head appointed to the board, and that his right hon. friend was no longer con nected with it. Sir G. GREY said by the act of Parliament his learned friend, the chief paid commissioner, was at the head of the board. His right hon. friend had underrated the powers of the commission, for though in the majority of cases they confined themselves to inquiry, and to submitting schemes to Chancery, they had the power, and frequently exercised it, of framing schemes themselves for the improved admi nistration of charities, which, on receiving the necessary , sanction, were carried into effect. He believed an altera tion of the act, with a view to the extension of the power of the commissioner, would be necessar y next y ear ; and he had no doubt such a me asure would be p ro p osed. The vote was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the house re sumed. TOWNS' IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time. On the question that the bill do pass some amendments on the various clauses were made. Mr. J. O'CONNELL moved to strike out of clause 7, the words "the net annual value of 81, and upwards." Mr. J. YOUNG objected to the motion, and said the matter had been fully discussed in committee. The house divided — For the motion 24 Against it B2-58 After some verbal amendments, the bill was passed. SAVINGS' BANKS BILL. This bill was read a second time. REFORMATORY SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill went through committee. NEW BILLS. Leave was given for the introduction of the following bills : Mr. DUNLOP—BiII to allow verdicts in trials by jury in civil causes in Scotland to be returned, although the jury may not be unanimous. Mr. J. A. SMITH—BiII to make further provisions in re lation to certain friendly societies. Mr. WILSON—BiII to amend the act for the regulation of joint-stock banks (Scotland). Mr. WILSON—BiII for guaranteeing a loan of 500,0001. to the island of Jamaica. Mr. WILSON—BiII for the better administration of Cinque Ports. The LORD ADVOCATE—BiII to extend the benefits of two acts of her Majesty relating to the constitution, transmis sion, and extinction of heritable securities in Scotland. Mr. S. WORTLEY—BiII to facilitate the administration of criminal justice at the Central Criminal Court, and at the various courts of sessions of the peace in and near the metropolis. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the home adjourned at twenty minutes pad one. PARLIAMENTARY LI-VISIONS. HOUSE OF COMMON S—JULY 6. CHURCH BUILDING ACTS AMENDMENT (No. 2) BILL.
