Plaints as they received from the general public, and the I board was alway s read y to p romote the carr y in g out of voluntary arrangements. But 'the house knew that this voluntary arbitration did not effect its object when ' people'i pecuniary interests were on the other side. A. more stringent mode of arbitration was now required, with compulsory powers. The bill would give relief to any per son without exclusion or limitation, who was azgrieved ; and if the Attorney-General were instructed on behalf of the crown, he could apply, without costs, for any indivi ad.), far the sake of remedying a great public grievance. No complicated form was necessary ; the simplest was suf ficient. If the facts were not disputed, there would be an immediate decision ; if they were disputed, the bill gave power to refer the matter to such en gineer or other competent person, as the court might decide. Those were the two main provisions of the bill ; a distinct statutory enactment that every company should afford to the public all reasonable facilities, not only with regard to its own line, but all those other lines with which it intercommunicated, in order that the public might have the full benefit of the whole system of railway communi cation throughout all its network, from one end of the kingdom to the other ; and a. provision of the simplest, mast ,efficient, and least costly mode for enforcing and carrying out that remedy. Let the house go into com mittee on the bill, and those hon. members who had talked with a disposition to sneer at the difficulties would not find that the case was one so easy to dispose of. (Hear, hear.) The Committee in their report gave an enumera tion of the various means that had been resorted to by the house for dealing with railway questions—a proof of the difficulties with which the subject was environed. Bear ing these facts in mind, the house would allow he was justified in saying that they must first define the duties before they appointed the tribunal. As to amalgamation, they had thought it better that Par liament should assume some control over railways first, and then carry out amalgamation afterwards. This was the first attempt to carry out a reference to the constituted tribunals of all disputed questions, at the smallest expense ; and thus to ensure a benefit both to the companies and the public at large. He doubted not the willingness of the companies to co-operate in this ob ject ; and this harmony, so far from being an objection to the measure, ought to recomin-Ind it to the adoption of the house. Should the { bill pass, it would not only increase the value of railway property, but what was of far more importance, would contribute largely to the convenience of the public. (Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER then left the chair, and the bill passed through committee pro forma. EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL. This bill was read a second time. CONVENTUAL AND MONASTIC INSTITUTIONS. Mr. T. CHAMBERS moved to postpone this debate till the 18th inst. Agreed to. MILITIA BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. HENLEY asked for some explanation of the pros visions of the bill. Mr. S. HERBERT said that under the clauses of the old Militia Act the militia could only be embodied in case of invasion or dander thereof. Whenever war existed there might be said to be danger of invasion, though not any imminent danger ; and on that account it was thought desirable to give the power of embodying the militia in case of war. Since the bill was brought in, he had received several applications from militia staffs asking to be em bodied, and expressing willingness to serve in any part of the country. The best spirit preVailed, and Government would take care so to carry out the act as to cause the least possible inconvenience to the parties concerned. Mr. HUME urged the importance of the militia and the army being under the same general authority. The time had come when the jealousy which created those different authorities ought to cease. The militia was not under the command of the Secretary .at War, but of the lords lieu tenant. It had originated in jealousy of the Crown; but no such feeling now existed. A great amount of money was expended on the militia, which might be lessened if all were placed under one authority. He would abolish the militia, and increase the regular force by the same number of men. The enormous cost of the militia was highly discreditable to the country, at a time when the best application of the public funds ought to be made. He protested against the principle on which the militia' was conducted, and should take objection to the bill at a future stage. The bill was then read a second time. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, com mencing with the latter part of the 6th clause, which de termines the constitution of the council. Sir W. Heathcote, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and • Sir J. Pakington, also rose at the same moment, claiming to move amendments ; and for some time the confusion was so great that the Chairman hardly knew how to pro ceed. At length, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtained a hearing, and said that he could not consent to accept the clause as it was left by the committee on their last sitting. It was now proposed that a professor of theology should be elected by the professors as a whole. To this he ob jected, as the professors generally were not a fit body to elect the professor of theology. He ought rather to be chosen by the university at large. It was absurd to set a professor of anatomy, of Sanscrit, of geology, of chemistry, and other things, to elect a professor of theology. The words objected to were then put and negatived without a division. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved to substitute for the word " congregation" the word " convocation." He viewed the former body with great jealousy and dislike, and wished to see it got rid of from the bill. It was a body hitherto un known to the working of the university, and he believed that it would have a very prejudicial effect. He thought that party feeling might be brought into play to a danger ous extent by this measure. There was great danger in his opinion that the tractariau party might exercise their • influence under this clause, and the university should not be exposed to such a risk. (Hear, hear.) He was of • opinion that the convocation should have the power of taking part in these elections, and would therefore move that the word " convocation" should be substituted for " congregation." Lord J. RUSSELL said the object of the amendment was to exclude altogether from the bill the congregation as proposed by the government. The substance of the amend • ment was that there should be no such body as that which the Government proposed. He thought the real question in this respect was whether or not it was desirable to have a body composed of all these residents in Oxford who were conversant with the business of teaching, whether they taught as professors or tutors, or whether they were there for the purpose of study. This was a very material part of the bill, and one which the Govern ment would be disposed to press on the committee. The right hon. gentleman said that congregation would be carried away by party feelings of various kinds, especially on subjects of reli g i on . H e h ear d w i th considerable dis may statements to the same effect, but in still stronger language, from the right hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Henley), and the hon member for Stroud. The right hon. gentleman seemed to admit the truth of the statement • made by the hon. member for Stroud on a former occasion. He (Lord J. Russell) could 'not pretend to deny that statement, but if it was true, then the case seemed to him to be hop e l ess altogether, because if these persons who were the principal persons engaged in teaching in the Uni versity of Oxford, were so deeply imbued with party feel . ings—varying from day to day—at one time possessed of a tractarian, and at another time of a rationalistic spirit— he should lOok with apprehension to the future education of the youth of the country. If the case of that university was as represented, he thought it should be put under the management of another body altogether,-or should be abol ished entirely. (Hear, heisr.) If the University of Oxford which was an institution of ancient fame, and which, he thought, had hitherto maintained a consistent spirit in our history, though it was not a spirit which he much admired —which Lord Chatham accused of Jacobitism, and which in later times exhibited a strong conservative spirit—if it was true that such an institution might change from day • to day—and that the statements of the right hon. gentle man and the hon. member for Stroud seemed to support that allegation—if it might bring up the youth of this country, its gentry, and its clergyinthe rationalistreligion of the German theologians, what could he feel but despair. • But he came to the conclusion that these statements were not a fair representation. His own opinion was that those persons who made teaching a business -who stuaied it in all its aspects, and who were acquainted with the practical effects of modes of teaching, were the fittest to be entrusted with authority. When questions of improvements in edu cation had to ho considered, it seemed to him that it would be an inconvenience and a disadvantage to bring together from various parts of the country a body of 3,000 persons, about 2,800 of whom had not turned their minds to the ' subject of education for perhaps 10 cr 20 or 30 years. Per sons who had been brought up in the University of Oxford some 30 or 40 years ago, would have the opinions and principles which they imbibed there at that time ; and - if they called up from Cornwall or Northumberland • some five hundred clergymen who had not attended to the subject of education at all, and who might have imbibed prejudices fr om some circular letter telling them that some dreadful innovation was to be made in order to bar by their votes the improvements in education which might be proposed by those whose lives were devoted to the subject of education, it would in his opinion be a great misfortune. ' (Hear.) He hoped, therefore, the committee would adhere to the pl an o f congregat i on. He would say admit all those , to were res id en t i n O x f or d , an d w h o were compe tent subject, 'th give an opinion from their daily acquaintance with and do not allow their votes to be swamped by u th e e i v v e o ra t y of those who were constantly absent from the *imitation s made r.) At all events he hoped that the repre , had _ of the dreadful state into which (Wend 4 , 4 , rri ` t r a Z wa n nt tt) great danger there was that it might be • Mr. HENL EY me rationalist doctrines were unfou n ded. said that th e no bl e l or d h a d g i ven a • colouring an d somethi ng - the other night.

But if they narrow • tion of not more than 100 pee ruling body to a small sec • number of persona in Oxford, sa l % they might find that FY might be found in any other place, who might give an the university such principles , but there had • ciples.

There were first the young men from 21 to 35 years o f o age. At the latter age they began to leave the university to fill livings or parti es to marry. When these ' left the university , and spent!light or ten years in the world, would they be less q ualified to pass judgment on improvements in alncation than persons of 25 years of age who were just beginning to teach ?, (Hear.) Was the opposite, or the hen. and learned right hon. gentleman high in member for Kidderminster, who stood give an opinion on improvemen t s . eity, less competent to of the unt in education because they were non-resid ents • varsity? (Hear.) In 99 cases out of 100 the decision would be left to the resident body; it was only on s ome particular and strong case that the non - xesident s wou ld be brought up. Such cases might arise, and then it would be unwise and unsafe to leave the decision to the resident body alone. By this proposition of the Government they were creating a narrow oligarchy, instead of setting up a free representative system. (Hear.) Mr. H. DI:7IO4OND slid that whether it was from a want of apprehension on his part, or from an improper sus picion of others; he could not help thinking but that in this reattenboth parties were figh tine with g loves , and that there n which w as something at bottom - they were unwilling wholly to acknowledge. He bad a Suspicion that each party was 4013devonring through this bill, end especially through this clause, to strike at some party which they no would not name. He thought the mere number could not be of such great importance. One right hon. gentleman said that if the body was .composed of a greater.number they would be divided into two factions. But Was it not-olour tittat vilot4tu r composed of 10 or 1,000, there would still be two factions, who would be brought into continual collision? It seemed to him that far more important than the ques'ion of teach- I ing was that of the moral discipline of those who were s3nt to the university. And for this purpose boapro posed by the Government, was far more likely to be cient than if the non-residents who could not devote their time to the subject formed part of it. (Hear.) e w m er b e er p s erf of eo co tly nv oo o rfi ca . - :i d ol of discipline ; and, sai d oant allO questions t r i: M t n e , r o h t IC a t vY f n W o g r D m b been educated judgmentATE as most of them had sons to be educated, they were not • - likely to be in favour of a lax disci p line. It was not merely that a veto was give n by the clause—the resident body were to decide whether or not convocation should express an opinion on any subject. There was nothing in the pre vious history of the university to justify such a provision. Its history showed that the residents were liable to great party bias and strong sectarian feeling, and that the remedy for that was to be looked for in convocation. Lord R. CECIL said, as convocation existed at present, and as it would exist if the amendment were carded, the effect was to leave all matters of minor detail and all ques tions of scholastic discipline to those who were best able to deal with them, namely, the residents, and there was no reason to fear that clergymen would come from Corn-. wall or NOrthumberland to take such matters out of their hands. (Hear.) He might appeal to experience in support of this view. Two months ago, when the important question of the reform, or, as some called it, the destruction of the university, was mooted, only 200 members assembled; and at the late election for the university, out of 3,000 members, barely 2,000 could be induced to vote. It was not on ques tions of detail that he wished to see convocation have the power of interference ; but surely on such a question as that of the introduction of the study of the physical sciences, noblemen and judges were as well qualified to pronounce an opinion as the resident members of the university. It was a mistake to suppose that the tutors were the most talented men belonging to the university. There were many men of great talent among them, but the hotly did not include the highest talent of the university at large. He should certainly support the amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it seem ed to him that the house was in danger of forgetting what was essential to a right apprehension of the point to be dis cussed. The hon. member for North Warwickshire (Mr. Newdegate) had spoken as if they were now discussing proposal to put into the hands of the congregation the full powers projected and designed by the bill. That, however, was not the case. The principal part of the electoral power had, by a vote of the committee, which he much regretted, been taken from the congregation ; and the question now was, whether a small portion of that power should not be placed in the hands of the congregation. The speech of the noble lord (Lord R. Cecil) was also calculated to create mis apprehension. The whole tone of that speech, as well as its language, was adapted to produce an impression that a pro posal had been made by the government to deprive the con vocation of powers which it at present possessed. Convoca tion was to be deprived of no power whatever which it pos sessed. He might be told that it was to be subject to a veto —that the 'congregation was to determine whether any question should come before it or not. That was perfectly true. But was there anything new in that propose],? The Hebdomadal Board had hitherto exercised precisely the same power. What was the difference between the exercise of this power by the Hebdomadal Board and its exercise by the congregation ? Which was the most favourable for the university, to have an absolute veto placed in the hands of the irresponsible heads of private societies, who did not carry on the discipline of the university, or to have it vested in an assembly which included every working man in the university ? (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman the member for Oxfordshire (Mr. Henley) had complained of the animadversionsof the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) upon his speech ; but he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) must say that he thought they were deserved. (Hear, hear.) He had never heard from any gentleman in that house a speech so disparagine to the university; and he must add so un worthy of one of her sons. (Cheers.) It was true the right hon. gentleman spoke, not of the convocation, but of the resident body. For every working purpose, however, the resident body was the university. (Hear.) Who were to educate their children? Who were to exercise discipline over them ? On whom were their children to be depen dent ? Was it on the bishops on the bench, or on the jutlgee in the courts? No, the working university was the resi dent university. (Hear, hear.) It was the resident uni versity that was eng a g e d in the work of tuition. And how did the right hon. gentleman describe it ? Ho said, that among that body every question was carried according to party, by religious hate and animosity ; it was always in one dangerous extreme or another. He said that for the last fifteen years it had been in the Tractarian extreme, and he supposed that for the next fifteen years it would be in the Rationalist extreme. Mr. HENLEY said he would not be misrepresented in that way. What lie said was, that it had been in the Trac taiian extreme, and that the right hon. gentleman knew better than he (lid. (Opposition cheers.) He also s aid that the hon member for Stroud ha 1 stated that it was now in the Rationalist extreme, but that he (Mr. Henley) did not believe it. That was what he sail, and the right hon. gentleman might misrepresent him as much as he pleased. (Opposition cheers.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the right hon. gentleman had no right to say that he wilfully misrepresented him. He apprehended that he had a right to appeal to the Speaker'for protection against the angry taunts of the right hon. gentleman. - (Laughter from the Opposition.) The right hon. gentleman had no right to tell any member of that house that he might misrepresent him if he pleased. It was the first time in his experience in that house that he had heard any member, especially a member o the right hon. gentleman's age and gravity, im pute to another member wilful misrepresentation. That was what -the right hon. gentleman had choseti to impute to him. He trusted he did not require to defend himself against such an imputation. (Ministerial cheers.) He main tained that he had not misrepresented and not misappre hended the right non. gentleman. His statement was that for the last fifteen years the resident university had' al ; ways been in one, extreme or other, and that if this power were granted the same state of things would exist. That was the whole pith of his speech, and if that were not its meaning it had no meaning at all. Having had seven years' acquaintance with the members of the university, he ventured to say that the right honourable gentle man knew nothing of their character, or he would never have made such a statement respecting them. The spirit of party which unfortunately prevailed to so great an extent in the Church of England did not prevail with half so much virulence in the University of Oxford as it prevailed out of it. The reason of this it was not very difficult to divine. These gentlemen at Oxford had something else to think about than party disputes. A more laborious and hard-working body could not be found in any part of the country. Surely also something was to be ascribed to the humanising and alleviating influences of their literary and civilising pursuits. For these reasons he did not hesitate to say that the spirit of party, whether political or religious, was less strong at that moment in the University than out of it. They had just been told that the tutors of Oxford were not a very distinguished body, and that they did not fairly represent the members of the congregation in point of ability: - He admitted that the tutors were at the present moment not equal to what they would be ten years hence if the house passed this bill. (Laughter from the Opposition, and cheers from the Mini sterial side.) There were certain colleges in Oxford which were called close colleges, and when these were made open the tutors would represent the very elite of the university. As the noble lord had made these remarks, he felt bound to say that he received the other day a statement—from whom it came he knew not—which gave in detail a result which_ was rather curious. It gave in three classes the heads of houses at Oxford, the tutors and the pro fessors. Of the heads of houses there was a certain portion of distinguished men who were never examined in schools, having passed through the university course be fore the examination was instituted. It appeared, how ever, that out of seventeen heads of houses who were ex amined, six took first-class honours ; out of sixteen pro fessors who were examined, twelve took first-class honours; and out of twenty-one tutors who were examined, fourteen took first-class honours. Under these circumstances, he ' thought the noble lord ought not to have made any state ment disparaging to this body of men. The noble lord (R Cecil) seemed to think that the leaving of the choice of the members of convocation who were to fill up the num ber of the Hebdomadal Council to a body necessarily resi dent-would lead to party feelings and factious doings (hear)—and he almost intimated that Government had taken no step whatever for securing the University from those evils. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) begged to point out that the proposed meaunre left out two classes of persons, on the very ground of their liability to be in fluenced by local considerations The noble lord would rind that the Government bill extended neither to the pa rochial clergy nor to the chaplains of colleges. (Hear.) He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) dissented strongly from those who said that the decision of Convocation would be better than that of Congregation ; he could not but recollect that all the reforming movement in the univer sity had been on the part of the younger branches of the university. There were many, very many, able men and honest reformers in the ranks of the university; but they were amongst the junior, not the senior branches. There had been a very recent instance of the resident and non resident feelings in the university. There was no need to go back to 183 t to test the matter. Upon two occasions during the present year appeals had been made to convoca tion. In the first place, an appeal was made in order to get up an address to the Crown on behalf of a new consti tution, projected by certain parties, for Oxford—a consti tution which had found no one in that house hardy enough to bring it forward. That address would most surely have been thrown over had the matter depended upon the resi dents at Oxford. So also would the petition which had been presented to that house against the present petition by the way adopted by the majority of two only. (Hear, hear.) He should much like to know whether, upon the occasions which called men to Oxford, it was the quiet and temperate, those unbiassed by party feeling, who went there? Certainly not - They would -be found to be the men of the strongest political and religious party feel ings. He ventured to say that an appeal to the facts upon the two occasions only to which he had adverted, would fully testify the truth of this statement. There was one more point which he thought conclusive on this gees tion. The house in its wisdom had decided upon adopting a representation by classes ; it had said the heads of houses shall select the heads of houses, the professors the professors, who are to form part of the Hebdomadal Board. Surely . it was only just and fit to carry out the same principle in this instance, and leave these members of the board t o b e c h osen b y congregat i on. Common j ust i ce and fair prin c ipl e requ i re d th a t some port i on o f power should b e g i ven to that class who did the work of the uni versity. Had an opposite course been pursued by the house t :e uthsome ba a s e h tf o ho w ui nn o gd f a : Be e t 0 7 t o de n fte m hvo i er g ue h r t .a made e b e e Hmee (hi edao f t o mo r netnehtaiisiena aned mgle end ment, be fore, and rape ttel now, that it was the resident body in Oxord who had a been most favourable to the commission measure.

CECIL explained that he disparage the tutors. All that he hadhad no intention to was that when the various ranks of societyintended to say it would be found that the proportionof were looked to, sity men not tutors was greater than those allcae"fni "iv " - pied that position. who had occu -1 Mr. lIORSMAN was sorry to find that what he had a aa on a former occasion had conveyed to some t h e idea thatt ho thought the university in a rationali s ti c s t ate. He d id not say or believe that such was the case. (Hear.) Hs, statement was, that the manner in which things were at present going on was tending to Germanise the university . Such be still thought to be the case, and in proof of the soundness of that opinion, ht reminded the committee that the classics in use at Oxford were those edited by Ge r . man professors, and the theology was the theology of that . , country also. With regard to the particular amendment wig; couacleatioU lie did uot, tilio bill Loy toad, regard the question as of so great importance as score hon. members. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER said that there seemed to ,be an impression that the Government had recommended that convocation should consist of all the members of the university; he did not clearly understand whether that was so or not. Lord J. RUSSELL hail not recommended that convoca tion should consist of all the members of the university; he had only said that when convocation itself came under consideration, it might be a matter for grave deliberation. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER objected strongly to the statements which had been made as to faction and party spirit. That was not a place to complain of such things. Party spirit was one of the infirmities of human nature, and would always show itself where people thought strongly and seriously upon any subject. It was a fact to be re gretted,•perhaps, but it was no less a fact that could not be turned aside and got rid of. Neither could he view with. approbation the observations which had been levelled at the tutorial body. He could conceive no higher occupation than that of educating the people of England, and those who were engaged in that great work were entitled to and had his greatest respect. To the detractors of those gentle men he replied by reminding the house what they had done, and by pointing in support of that reminder to the judicial, the episcopal, and the Treasury benches. (Hear.) Mr. HILDYARD objected strongly to the exclusion of non-resident' members from a right of voting in tha choice of members for the Hebdomadal Council. He wondered that some of the liberal members on the opposite benches, the hon. member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) for instance, had not taken the matter up. The proposal of the Govern ment amounted to reducing the number of electors from about 3,000 to not more than 150. The simplest method of dealing with the question was to adopt the amendment, and allow every member of the convocation the right of voting. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE, thought the house would not agree to anything so unfair as that the six heads of col leges should be chosen by the close body, and the six tutors by the convocation at large. The bill in no way limited the powers of convocation, but gave it for the first time the power of acting. Mr. VANSITTART,'who spoke amid impatient calls for the division, was understood to support the amendment. Sir W. HEATIICOTE would vote for the word • con gregation" rather than " convocation," having given notice of an amendment which would come at a later period of the bill to enlarge the boundary of the congregation Mr. MILES thought the noble lord should state whether he would accept his hon. friend's (Sir W. Heathcote) amendment to the 18th clause for enlarging theboundaries of the congregation. Lord J. RUSSELL must decline giving any pledge until he knew precisely what the amendment was. how it would apply, and the arguments by which it might be supported. The comTittee then divided— For the word " congregation," as in the clause 192 For the amendment 176-16 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intimated that he proposed to adopt the amen &meat of his hon. friend and colleague (Sir W. Heathcote), that the Vice-Chan cellor or his deputy should preside over the Hebdomadal Council. There was one person in the university they had forgotten, that was the Chancellor, and he would give notice of an amendment,to the effect that the Chancellor, when residing in the university, should be a member of and preside over the council. The clause as amended was agreed to. On clause 7, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he proposed to add words at the end of the clause, which would enable the Vice-Chancellor to continue a member of the council for one year after leaving his office. The clause as amended was then agreed to. On clause 8, In answer to Mr. HENLEY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the clause was proposed to prevent the arising of any legal doubt on the construction of the statutes which prevented professors holding any other office. It was thought the word office might apply to a • place .at the Hebdomadal Council, and this clause was intended to avoid that diffi culty. The clause was agreed to. On clause 9, Sir H. WiLLOIJGFIBY proposed the following pro viso :—" Provided always that nothing contained in this act shall be construed to give any executive functions to the Hebdomadal Council or its committees, except such as may be required to provide for the preparation and pro posal of statutes for congregation." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that there was no probability that any board in Oxford would encroach on the duties of the executive. The functions of the Hebdomadal Board were transferred by the bill to the council, and as the board had never made any encroach ment on the executive, there was no reason to think that the council would do so. Clause 9 was then struck out. On clause 10, Sir W. HEATHCOTE moved an amendment to leave out certain words, and insert " not reside for 18 weeks during term time, or attend 18 times at the meetings of the Hebdomadal Council in each." The object of the amend ment was, that distinguished persons who were not per manently resident might, with the facilities for travelling now existing, be able to be members of the Hebdomadal Council. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the term of 24 weeks had been inserted in the bill, with the , perfect knowledge that 18 weeks was the term of acade mical residence. He thought it would have been well if Government had prolonged the term of residence. They thought it reasonable and desirable that the members of the Hebdomadal Council should be resident. After some further conversation, the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. Mr. PACKE moved that the Chairman report progress. Mr. DISRAELI asked when the bill would be brought on again. Lcird J. RUSSELL said it would not be brought on either to-morrow or Mandan and he could not now state when it would be brought on. ' The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. BOUNDARY SURVEY (IRELAND) BILL. This bill'passed through committee. ROYAL MILITARY ASYLUM. Mr. QLIVEIRA moved that an humble address be pre sented to her Majesty, praying that she wil: be graciously pleased to grant au inquiry into the capability ofincreasing the accommodation at the Royal Military Asylum at Chel sea, for the reception of the children of non-commissioned officers and soldiers on foreign service, as far as may be practicable, to the extent which that establishment afforded under various warrants of her Majesty's royal predecessors. Mr. S. HERBERT said there was no doubt that the Asylum at Chelsea had afforded, and does afford at this moment, considerable advantages to the army. It contained now 350 children, but at one time when a similar estab lishment existed at Southampton, the number reached as high as 1,222, includin g boys and girls. It was found, however, that so far as their after life was concerned, the system of educating female children both at ChAsea and Greenwich entirely failed, and the Government therefore put it down ; bat as regarded boys the case was different. The asylum at Chelsea was divided into two parts, one portion being devoted to the boys and the other to the purposes of a normal school for training matters for the army. Now if the request of the honourable member were acceded to without limitation, some other place would have to be provided for the schoolmasters, but the change could only be made at an obvious disad vantage to the service, because you could not keep up an efficient normal training school, unless you had attached to it a large school fo,r the education of children where the master could obtain practical experience in the duties of his calling. He had found, however, upon inquiry, that by making a certain amount of alteration in the building, accommodation for about. a hundred and twenty children, more could be provided, but it was obvious that, as tee war progressed, the call upon the asylum for the reception of children would be much greater than it is now, and even here some limitation would have to be put on the number. At present the inmates of the asylum consisted of three classes of children, viz., orphans who had l os t both parents, children who had only one parent living, and, lastly, children whose parents were alive but serving abroad. The present number of inmates, as he had al ready stated, was no, but if it was possible Government intended to ask forpermission to increase it at discretion by 150, which would involve an additional expenditure of 3,0001. for the first year, but something less in subsequent years. He had directed inquiries to be made as to how far the increase coat be carried out, and he hoped, under these circumstances, the hon. gentleman would not think it necessary to press the address. After a few words from Co!enel DUNNE and Colonel NORTH, the motion was withdrawn. COURT OF ADMIRALTY. Sir G. B. PECHELL moved for a return from the Re gistrar of the High Court of Admiralty, together with copies of the return transmitted to the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, from the several Vice Admiralty Courts, of all cases which had been adjudged in the said courts respectively, under the Act 13 and 14 Vic., since the Ist of June, 1850, with the dates of the seizure, ac cording to the schedule annexed to the said act. Agreed to. INDUSTRIAL AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES. Viscount GODERICR moved for a bill to amend the Act 1. and 16 Vic., c. 31, to legalise the formation of in. dustrial and provident societies. The object of the bill was to enable friendly societies to appoint public officers to sue and be sued instead of the trustees. Agreed to. - POOR REMOVAL BILL. Mr. BAINES moved to nominate the select committee, viz.: Mr. Baines, Sir George Grey, Sir John. Trollope, Sir Benjamin Hall, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Dunlop, Mr. Alexander Hastie, Colonel Blair, Colonel Mure, Mr. Cumming Bruce, Sir John Young, Mr. George Alexander Hamilton, Sir Robe' t Ferguson, Mr. John Ball, and Mr. Maguire. Colonel DUNNE moved the adjournment of the debate, on the ground that owing to some misunderstanding the Irish members left the house under the-impression that Lord Naas and Mr. H. Herbert were to be added to , the committee. Mr. BAINES said he should have been happy to h ave acceded to the gallant colonel's proposal to insert the names of Lord Naas and Mr. Herbert; but owing to the compo sition of the committee, he could not assent to their being added to it, unless he also proposed two more Scotch and Irish members. Sir J. TROLLOPE supported the original motion. After a few words in explanation, Colonel DUNNE withdrew his amendment, and the committee was appointed. PUBLIC STATUES. _ _ _ Sir W. MOLES WORTH moved for leave to introduce a bill to place public statues within the metropolitan police district under the control of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings. Leave was given. The house adjourned at 1 o'clock.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENI-NG, MAY 5, 1"854;" relating to the Greek insurrection. Could the noble lord say when these papers might be expected? Lord J. RUSSELL said the papers were about ready, and they would be shortly forthcoming. COURSE OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the sanding order re lative to the days on which the committees of supply and ways and means shall be fixed be repealed; and, also, that the committees of supply and ways and means shall be fixed for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and for any other day on which orders of the day shall have precedence of notices of motions ; that the said resolution be a stand ing order of this houso. _ . DISR .ELI objected to this course as inconsistent with the public business. _ _ _ ➢ir. HUME hoped the proposition of the noble lord should be understood to apply only to the present session. After a few words from Sir G. GREY, The motion was agreed to. Lord J. RIISSEIJL gave notice, that on Monday he would move that Government orders of the day should take precedence of other Orders on Thursday. NAVY ESTIMATES. Sir J. GRAHAM then rose to move for "a supplemen tary estimate of her Majesty's navy." Believing that the war was a just and necessary war, and that it ought to be prosecuted with energy and vigour, he thought the house would find no difficulty in agreeing p 3 the propositions which be should submit to them. (Hear.) Before ho pro ceeded to the supplemental estimate's, he might state that during the last month no less than 11,000 men had been added to the navy, and from the report of the inspectors it appeared that most of these men were efficient seamen, the Coast Guard having been fpund to be a most effective re serve. The right hon baronet then proceeded to disclose the nature of the estimates as follows : The total sum now to be provided amounts to 4,553,7311., and is distributed among the following votes : Vote I.— WAGES TO SEAMEN AND MARINES. —The total under this head is 461,7001., of which sum 110,0001. will be required to defray the charge of wages for 5,000 additional se amen during the last six months of the cur rent year, provision for the first half having teen made in the estimates already voted. For the additional pay beyond seamen's pay to coast guandsmen and seamen riggers employed in the fleet, the amount to be voted is 51,700/. ; and 220,0001. is asked for to defray for an en tire year the charge of wages for a further addition of 5,000 seamen. These items together amount to 381,7001., and 80,0001. more being added as the balance of pay due to the representatives of the officers and crews belonging to the discovery ships above mentioned, the total of 461,700/. is attained. Vote ll.—The cost of provisions; victualling stores, &c., for the first additional 5,000 during six months, is estimated at 50,0001., and that required for the second additional 5,000 in the whole year, at 100,00 Q/. ; which, with 50,0001. "for additional victualling stores required, and for freight of provisions, and for an increase in the prices of several species of stores and provisions," amount altogether to the sum of 200,0001., the total asked for under this head. Vote 111. and Vote VI. provide for additional ex penses, which the increase of business occasioned by the war will render necessary in domestic establishments. For those at Whitehall and Somerset-house 5,0001. is required ; and for salaries in naval, victualling, and medical establishments, dockyards, &c., at home, 2,000/. in addition to the former estimates. Vote VIII. and Vote IX. provide for additional outlay in wages to artificers, &c., employed in her Ma jesty's establishments at home and abroad. Under the former head 47,0001., and under the latter 1,0001. are required. Vote X. NAVAL STORES, &c., FOR THE BUILDING AND REPAIR OF SHIPS. —The total supplementary vote asked for is 697,3311., of which 160,0001. is the esti mated cost, of coals and other fuel for steam vessels ; 40,0001., that of stores required to replace those issued to the fleet ; 252,6741., that of the purchase and repair of the steam machinery ; and 244,6571., that of the pur chase of steam-vessels gun-boats, &c. Vote XL provides for new works, improvements, and repairs in the yards, &c. The total under this head is 7,0001., to be entirely expended in additions to the hospital huildings and store rooms at Ilaslar. Vote XIL—An additional grant of 30,0001. is asked fir, under the head of med►cines arid medical stores ; 5,0001. being required for the 10,000 additional men to be provided fur during half or the whole of the year ; and the remaining 25,0001. for extra stores, &c., neces sary in hospital ship; and for the several naval medical establishments, including that required at Therapia. Vote XIII. Under the head entitled Miscellaneous Services, 6,0001. is asked to provide for additional charges of pilotage, the expenses of raising volunteers, and other minor charges. Vote XVII.- -By far the largest proportion of the whole sum required is comprised under the head, "Army and Ordnance Departments." The expenses incurred or to be incurred in transporting troops and horses are classed under twelve heads, of which the following are the mo-t important : "Freight of transports on monthly pay, including steam-vessels, or for the purchase of the the same," 2,610,2001. ," Freight of ships hired for con veyance of troops, &c., including rations," 108,000/ " Coals for steam transports and freight ships," 160,0001. " Fitting transports and freight ships," " bedding, blan kets, and other stores for troops," and " forage and stores for horses," each 50,0001. The total asked under this vote is the very considerable sum of 3,096,700/. Recapitulating these different votes, we shall arrive at the following result : War £1,377,031 Naval Service, Effective {Arctic dis covery Tivirb Mittio SUN OFFICE, Semi, o'clock. NEWMARKET RACES.

Their Lordships met at five o'clock. THE VICTORY AT ODESSA.—OFFICIAL REPORT. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said it was re ported throughout the town that a telegraphic despatch from Belgrade, containing information sent by her Ma jesty's Consul at Varna, had been received to-day at the Admiralty to the effect that her Majesty's forces had achieved a considerable effective operation at Odessa. He wished to know whether the Government could con firm that rumour, and if so, whether they would furnish the house with any particulars on the subject. (Hear.) The Earl . of CLARENDON, whose rising was a signal for silence, said—My Lords—l have great pleasure in being able to answer my noble friend's question in the affirmative. (Hear, hear.) The news to which he allude's has arrived this morning by telegraph from Belgrade. Perhaps the best way of communicating the news to your lordships is to read the despatch. (Cheers.) Her Majesty's consul writes from Belgrade on the 4th of May. at a quarter before seven in- the afternoon : "Admiral Dundas anhoances through her Majesty's Consul 'at Varna that a division of the steam- boats of the combined squadron destroyed, on the 22d of April, the Imperial mole and the Russian ships at Odessa. The mole of the quarantine and, the foreign ships, and the city itself, have not been injured—(cheers)—great cane having been taken with respect to private and neutral property. (Cheers.) The Pacha of Belgrade stated yesterday that the great powder magazine had been blown up, and that the land batteries had been en tirely destroyed—(cheers)—and that the loss which had been sustained by the land forces did not exceed 8 men killed and 18 men wounded." (Cheers.) THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. Lord REDESDALE • alluded to some articles in the newspapers making attacks upon the Duke of Cambridge for delaying his journey to the East, and said it would be satisfactory if the Government would state, as he firmly believed was' the case, that there was no founda tion for the charges therein made. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he had not seen the articles which the noble lord had mentioned ; but he was not surprised that any member of the house should feel that th e c h aracter of the D u ke of 'Cambridge ought to be vindicated on such an occasion. Yet, on the other band, he could not help feeling that all who knew the duke; and indeed the whole country, would treat any such aspersions with the contempt which they deserved. (Cheers.) Not only had the illustrious duke acted under the instructions of the Government, but in all the transactions which he had been engaged he had executed his instructions with fidelity, as well as with the greatest ability and success. The Government had every reason, therefore, to be satisfied with the duke. (Hear, hear.), It - was their wish that he should proceed to Vienna as well as to Paris. With reference to the imputation of slackness, he (the Duke of Newcastle) could assure the house that the noble duke was, in the 'first place, most anxious to be employed in the service ; and, in the next, that he had expressed the greatest anxiety, from day to day, to go to his post. (Hear, hear.) He lost no time in proceed-, ing from Paris to Vienna, when he received instructions from the Government ; and when his mission was termi nated at Vienna, he went, without a moment's delay, to Trieste, and from thence to Corfu, where a steam-boat was to be ready to convey him to Constantinople. wiere he (the Duke of Newcastle) had no doubt he had now arrived. (Cheers.) The Earl of HARD WICSE trusted that the country would place entire reliance in the moral character of the officers engaged in the i m p or t an t serv i ce i n th e East, and that those officers would not be urged on to rash measures by the ill-advised attacks of the press. THE COAST OF CIRCASSIA. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE inquired whether the Governthent had any additional Information to that just laid on the table respecting operations on the east coast of the Black Sea. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Nene Valley Drainage and Navigation ; Newcaßtle-upon- Tyne Docks ; Perth and Dunkeld Railway; Whitehaven, Cleator, and Egremont Railway. The following bills we re or d ere d t o b e considered : Hertford ordand Welwyn Junction Railway; North London Railway. NEW WRITS. On the motion of Mr. lIA.Y f ER, a new writ was ordered for Devonport in the room of Mr. Tufnell, who has accepted the office of steward of her Majesty's manor of Nortiistead. A. new writ was also ordered for Hastings in the room of Mr. Brisco, who has accepted the office of steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. - PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. Dunlop, from various places in Scotland. in favour of the Lord Advocate's Edu cation Bill; by Mr. Hume, from different places in Scot land, to the same effect. THE NEW BUDGET. Th e CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that on Monday he should move certain res o l u ti ons i n committee of ways an I moans, and that a porti on o f th ese resolutions relating to the temporary supply for the public service would be printed and circulated on Monday morning. M. Dis4AELI asked the right hon. gentleman what course he intended to pursue on Aloiaay. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he must ieserve his explanation for .41onday, but he could state now that the course he should take would be strictly in accordance with precedent. THE CIVIL SERVICE. In reply to Mr. TiABoucHERE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that he had no intention of submitting to the house this session any measure for regulating the civil service, but Govern ment had in contemplation the introduction of a bill to amend the Superannuation Act, though they did not admit the claims of the civil service on this head. Mr. HUME said an idea prevailed that the civil service had not been heard, and he suggested that a committee for that purpose should be heard, (Hear, hear.) THE COMBINED FLEETi f:7 BOXBA.RD4ENT OF ODESSA. El reply to Mr. FRENCH, Sir J. GRAHAM said the Government had received a telegraphic message this morning, which stated that on the 22d of April seven vessels of war of the combined fleets bombarded the outer mole of Odessa, and tha Russian ships lying therein; but that the utmost caution was used not to endanger private property or neutral vessels. (Hear, hear.) Also that they had completely succeeded in'de stroying all the land batteries of the outer mole and all the ships in it, and after that the combined fleets had pro- ceeded towards Sebastopol (as We'uoderstood). RUSSO-DUTCHLOAY. Lord I). STUART asked.. Lord J.. Russell, whether, whilst this country is at war-with Russia, it is the inten- tion of Government to furnish the Czar with the means of carrying on the war against this countu by issuing any sums from the British Treasury towardsjhe principal and for the interest of the debt called the Russo-Dutch Loan, contracted to be paid in consideration of the Russian Go vernment adhering- to the general arrangements of the treaty of Vienna, one of such general arrangements being that thenavigation of - European rivers should be free. Lord J. RuBsELL said it was the intention of the Go venal:float to adhere to this obligation. (Cheers.) • ARMY PENSIONS. Major WYNN drew- the attention of the Secretary-at- War to the Royal warrant for rewarding non•comwis sioned officers and soldiers in the army, dated the 13th day of April, 1854, and inquired why, when the term of service after which a private soldier becomes entitled to the good conduct medal and gratuity was reduced from twenty-one to eighteen years in the infantry, a cor responding redaction should 'not have been made in the term of service required from serjeants and corporals, and the period lessened of ten and seven years in these grades required to entitle serjeants and corporals to receive the reward of their respective ranks; also to in quire the reason why the annual grant to each regiment is made contingent on the numerical strength of the corporals and privates (denominated rank and file) and not on that of the corporals, privates, drummers, andserjeants, it being understood that the two last-named ranks participatefully as much in these rewards as the two first. Mr. S. HERBERT defended the warrant, and said it was generally approved of by the army? PUBLIC BUSINESS. In reply to Mr. 14 7 4.LP0LE, Lord J. RUSSELL said it was impossible for him to say when the Oaths' Bill and other measures would be brought on until the financial statement had been dis posed of. GREEK INSURRECTION. Mr. COBDEN enquired of the noble lord, the member for the City of London, if Lord Stratford de Radcliffe was consulted by the Turkish Government relative to the issue of the edict ezpelliug the Greoks from Turkey. Lord J RUSSELL was not aware whether or no Lord Stratford do Reddiffe was consulted on the subjeA, but certainly he had used his influence with the Porte to miti gate the severity of the proceedings that had or were to be taken agaiuct the resident Greeks of Turkey. Mr. BRIGHT reminded the noble lord that, shortly be ford t4O room, 4 0 NoLguod to lay on tho taolo tho pap= 80,010 21,457,03 Army and Ordnance'Departments Total... £4,553,73 The Su - plementnry Estimate is concise, and not o, very great amount. It comprises "the charge which will probably be incurred for the pay, clothing, awl incidental expenses of a further augmentation of 14,264 of ad ranks." The additional numtaers to be ♦oted arc 14,799 of all ranks, and the sum required is 300,0001 Comparing the numbers for 1854 5 with those for 1853-4, we find the total of officers raised from 4,543 to 4,985 ; that of non-commissioned officers from 7,259 to 10,200, and that of rank and file from 90,481 to 127,491. It thus appears that the increase is 442 in the first class, 2,941 in the second, and 37,110 in the third, making a total of 40,493 ; but 25,694 having been already voted, 14,799 only remain to be provided by the supplemental estimate. A cornwrison of the charges for the,two years shows an increase of 1,132,470/4 being the difference between 7,157,4861., the amount for the current year, and 6,025,0161., *which was that of last year ; but as 832,470/. was provided in the original estimates of this session, 300,0001. is the additional sum now required. M.-ORDNANCE. The total of the Supplemental Estimate is 742;1321. ; and the following analysis shows the additional votes that are to be taken : Vote the purchase of horses 30,0001. will be asked ; for pay, and for additional pay and allowances on foreign service, 21,3331. These sums, with 2,0001. for travelling expenses, &c., amount to 53,3331. Vote ll.—The total is 96,734/. ; barrack supplies being set down at 30,0001., great coats at 44.6211., and boots, shoes, &c , for troops in the field, 22,1131. Vote IV.- For stalarie,- and allowances to clerks at home st itions 2,0001. are required. Vote V.—Under the head of wages, 104,1901 will be asked for. With the exception of 5,0001., the whole is to be expended ih the different, establishments at Wool wich, the laboratory department alone absorbing 72,6731., and the carriage department 20.000/. Vote Vl.—By far the . greatest portion of the whole sum now to be voted is comprised 'under the head of "Stores." For miscellaneous stores at Woolwich, 225,3801. are proposed, and for the same description of articles at the Tower, 100,000/. ; for timber, 40,2451. ; for small arms, 30,0001. ; and for iron ordnance, &c., 33,0001. The total sum asked under this head is 455,875/. Vote Vll.—For special engineer services in connec tion with the expedition, 20,0001. is required,„ . and 10,0001. for the erection of barracks at Aldershott. Taking the three estimates together, we shall have— Navy £4,553,731 Army Ordnance 742,132 Grand total £5,595,863 Under the latter item, the right hon. baronet stated that since the Bth of March no less than 25.000 men and 2,500 horses had been despatched to- the East, while arrange ments had been made for conveying double that number of horses, including the Himalaya, which was being fitted .up for carrying out an entire cavalry regiment, and 75 sailing vessels. Each artillery transport carried out two officers, 45 men, 52 horses, and four guns. The total num ber of steain-vessels taken up was 18, and of sailing vessels 86,. all of which had been engaged for the entire year, while 14 steam vessels had been taken off the packet service to perform single journey trips from England to Malta. These *ere the principal items of the supplementary estimate, which had been framed upon a liberal scale, and knowing the feeling of the house to be unanimous in promoting this war with determination and vigour, it was not nelessary for him to make any earnest appeal to the house to vote the supplies, and he would conclude by simply stating that if his explanation was not satisfactory he should be ready to go into further details as each vote was proposed.

HOME-OFFICE, WHITEHALL, MAT 5. Whereas many English workmen have lately proceeded to France in search of employment, and having failed in obtaining work of any description, have fallen into great poverty and distress, and have suffered much misery and privation : all such persons, intending to go over to France for the same purpose, are lier&:y cautioned and warned of the inconvenience to which they will be exposed, unless they shall have entered beforehand into some contract or engagement with some person in France, who is able to employ them ; or unless they shall, before leaving their own country, have provided themselves with funds suffi cient to preserve them from want while abroad, and to enable them to return, if they' cannot find the employment they have sought for. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, MAY 4. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Charg6 d'Affaires at Stockholm, enclosing a declaration which has been issued by the King of Sweden, for the guidance of the trade and navigation of that country in times of war between Foreign Powers, a translation of which is hereunto subjoined. We, Oscar, by the grace of God, King of Sweden and Norway, &c , recognizing the necessity, in the face of the collisions threatening to take place between foreign mari time Powers, of the rigorous observance by our faithful subjects engaged in trade and navigation, of the obliga tions and precautions requisite to ensure to the Swedish Flag all the rights and privileges appertaining to it, in its quality of neutral, and also with a view to avoiding everything that might render it in an y way suspected by the Belligerent Powers, an d exposed to insult, have judged it expedient, in re pealing previous orders on the subject, to decree that the following rules shall be generally observed in future : 1. In order to be admitted to enjoy the rights and privi leges:teeming to the Swedish flag, in its neutral quality, every Swedish vessel must be furnished with the docu ments which, by existing ordinances,* are required to prove its nationality, and these documents must always be on board the vessel during its voyages. 2. Captains are strictly forbidden to have double or false papers and bills of lading, or . to hoist foreign colours on any occasion or under any pretext whatever. lf, during the stay of a Swedish vessel at a foreign port, the crew, whether by desertion, death, illness, or any other cause, should ba so diminished as not to be sufficient for the working of the vessel, and foreign s ►ilors should be therefore engaged, the preference ►rust be given to the subjects of Neutral Powers ; but in any case the number of the subjects of the belligerent Powers on board the ship must not exceed one-third of the total crew. Every change of this nature in the crew of the ship, with the tn-es which haveled to it, must be marked by the captain in the ship's books, and the fidelity of the annotation cer tified by the proper Swedish COnsul or Vice- .onsul, or if there be no such person at the spot, by the civil authorities, the notary public, or some other person of the same autho rity, pursuant te the customs of the respective countries. 4. The Swedish vessels in their neutral quality may na vigate freely to the ports and ou the coasts of the nations at war; but the captains must abstain from all attempts to enter a blockaded port, as soon as they have been formally warned of the state of that port by the officer commanding the blockade. By a blockaded port, is meant a port which is closed by one or more of the enemies' vessels of war, stationed so near that it cannot be entered without evident danger. 5. All merchandise, including property of subjects of the belligerent Powers, may be freely carried on board Swedish vessels in their quality of neutrals, with the exception of contraband of war. By contraband of, al-, are meant the following articles: "cannons, mortars, arms of all sorts, bombs, grenades, balls, flints, matches, gunpowder, salt petre, brimstone, cuirasses, pikes, belts, cartouch-boxes, saddles, and bridles, as well as all articles directly serving for warlike purposes"—excepting always such a quantity of these articles as may be necessary for the defence of the ship and the crew. _ .In case any changes or additions should be made in the definition of articles composing contraband of war, conse quent upon conventions with Foreign Powers, further notifications will be issued. 6. Every Swedish captain is forbidden to employ the vessel which he commands, in the transport, for any of the belligerent Powers. of despatches, troops, or munitions of war, without being forcibly cornfielled. In this case he should protest formally against such an employment of force. 7. The ships of the belligerent Powers may import into, and export from, the ports of Sweden, all commodities and merchandise, provided their importation or exporta tion be permitted by the general Custom-house tariff, with the exception of articles contra,baml of war. 8. All Swedish subjects are forbidden to arm or equip vessels, as privateers, against any of the belligerent Powers, their subjects, and property, or to take part in the equip ment of vessels intended for that purpose. They are equally forbidden to serve on board any foreign privateer. 9. No foreign privateer shall be allowed to enter a Swedish port, or to stay in our roads. Prizes are not to be taken into Swedish ports, except in cases of proved dis tress. Our subjects are also forbidden to buy captured effects of any kind from foreign privateers. 10. When a captain, sailing without escort, is met in open sea by any vessel of war of one of the belligerent Powers having right to examine his ship's papers, he must neither refuse nor endeavonr to avoid the search, but is bound to produce his papers loyally and with Out evasion, and to take care that none of the documents concerning the ship or its cargo be abstracted or thrown into the sea, either after the vessel is hailed, or during the search. 11. When merchant vessels sail under escort of vessels of war, the ca Mains must act in conformity with the pre scriptions of the Royal Ordinance of 10th June, 1512. 12. The captain, who observes scrupulously all the above regulations is entitled to enjoy, in accordance with treaties and the law of nations, a tree and uninterrupted naviga tion, and if he be, notwithstanding, molested, he has a right to expect tha most energetic support oa the part of our ministers and consuls abroad in all his just attempts to obtain reparation and indemnification; whereas the captain who omits or neglects to observe what is above prescribed for his guidance, will only have himself to blame for the unpleasant consequences of his negligence, without hope of our support and protection. . 13. Iu case of the seizure of a Swedish vessel, the Cap tain should remit to the Swedish Consul or Vice• Consul, if there be one in the port where his ship has been brought, or, in default, to the nearest Swedish Consul or Vice- Consul, a faithful and duly certified report of the circum . - stances of the capture, with all its details. We direct and order all those whom it may concern to onform themse.ves exactly to the above. In faith of which we have signed the present with our hand and have affiied thereto our Royal seal.
