M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London. &c., &c. Theessential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self - indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant ernpirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

He .therefore suggested that it should he referred to a select committee. Lord MONTEAGLE said that the objections urged were objections more fitted for the •bill in committee than on the second reading. He objected to the arbi trary power of taking land, and thought it far better that the magistrate should be selected by the Lord Chan cellor in the first instance than that he should be merely invested with the power of a veto. The Earl of EGLINTON could not vote for the amendment, because he thought that a bill of this kind was necessary in Ireland. There were, however, some objectionable provisions i❑ it, which he thought ought to be amended. lie thought the bast course would be to refer the bill to a select committee. • The Earl of RODEN thought that a bill of this kind was most necessary, but the present one was liable to great objection. trators, stating that if it had not been for the restric tions placed on the arbitrators, he should have awarded a much larger sum. On these grounds he trusted that the house would agree to the production of these papers, Sir W. MOLESWORTH said he thought this was an extraordinary motion. The matter had been settled by arbitration, and the arbitrators awarded Dr. Reid 3,2501., which he brought forward in the estimates of last year, which the house then agreed to, and which had since been paid. The evidence which was taken in the case occupied 5,000 folio pages, and if they printed it it would cost in all probability 1,0001. He was convinced no one would ever read it ; but if any bon, member were disposed to read it, and would go to his office, he should have an opportunity. With all due respect to the hon. gentleman who had brought forward this motion, he must oppose it altogether. The motion was then negatived without a division. CASE OF MR. STURGEON. Mr. BOW YER then moved fir a select committee to inquire into the claims of Mr. Edwardes (as representa tive of Mr. William Sturgeon) to the funds allotted by the French Government at the peace, to compensate for confiscation of the property of British subjects. Captain SCOBELL seconded the motion, believing that the hon. and learned gentleman had shown reason able grounds for inquiry. Mr. WILSON thought the house should pause before they appointed this committee. Mr. Sturgeon did not make his claim in time to come within the treaty of 1815 ; but the Government allowed his claim to go before the commissioners who acted under the treaty, by whom it was disallowed. It appeared to the commis sioners that the property of Mr. Sturgeon had not been confiscated ; but destroyed ; and the commissioners having no funds to meet such a case they dismissed it, as not corning within the treaty. After a few words from Mr. BOWTER and Mr. MALINC, The house divided, when there appeared— • For the motion 39 Against it The motion was accordingly negatived. THE CLAIMS OF CAPTAIN DICKENSON. Admiral WALCOTT moved for a select committee to inquire into the claims of Captain Dickenson, R.N., on behalt of himself, the officers, and crews of her Majesty's vessels employed on the subject of salvage, &c., con nected with the recovery of treasure in the wreck of her Majesty's ship Thetis, off Cape F r i o , on th e coast o f Brazil. The gallant admiral entered into a lengthened explanation of the case, from which it appeared, that through the exertions of Captain Dickenson and his crew, treasure to the extent of 150000/. was recovered from the Thetis, besides 2,000/. worth of her stores, and for these services they were awarded 29,000/. as salvage. The admiralty, ho wever , put in a claim for 13,5221. for seamen's wages, stores, &c., and the wear and tear of the Lightning, which Captain Dickenson commanded while recovering the treasure, and to that extent the salvage was reduced. Captain Dickenson, however, contended that the admiralty had no right to make the reduction and the ordinary tribunals having failed to render him justice he now as a last resource appealed to the House of Commons to investigate his case through the instrumentality of a select committee. Sir G. TYLER seconded the motion, and observed that if the inquiry were granted it would be shown that it was entirely through the extraordinary ability of Cap tain Dickenson and the great exertions of his crew that the treasure of the Thetis was saved. It was, therefore, unjust to deprive them of any portion of the salvage, and he trusted the house would have no hesitation in grant ing the committee. Sir J. GRAHAM need not assure the honourable and gallant admirals who had moved and seconded this mo tion that he was fully sensible of the generosity of the motives which had induced them to bring this subject under the notice of the house, while, if he thought that justice demanded the appointment of this committee, he should be the last person to resist it. But he was bound to say that he had come to a different conclusion to that which the two gallant admirals had arrived at. The subject was by no means new, for he first became ac quainted with it 20 years ago, when he had the honour of being at the Admiralty. There was no dispute about the facts of the case, which were these : the Thetis hav ing a large amount of treasure on board belonging to British merchants, was lost under circumstances more or less accidental, but in the opinion of the Board of Ad miralty there had been some neglect on the part of the commanding officer, and they therefore allowed Captain Dickenson to employ his vessel and crew in attempting to recover the treasure. Contrary to the expectation of the Board of Admiralty no less than fourteen months were occupied in that endeavour, and as a natural consequence a considerable amount of the public money was expended in stores, and the wages of the seamen of the Lightning. When, therefore, the salvage was awarded, the Admi ralty put in their claim for 13,8001., which was allowed by the High Court of Admiralty, but Captain Dicken son disputing the claim carried it before the Privy Council, who confirmed the decision of the court below. But supposing that had not been so, he should still have contended that the salvors were not entitled to a farthing of this 13,800/. ; the money would rather have been due to the merchants who had lost their treasure in the I Thetis ; but be that as it might, he could only repeat now the same answer that he had given on a former oc casion—namely, that the case had been repeatedly con sidered by various Boards of Admiralty, :led the Trea sury, and in every instance they had come to the deci sion that the claim of Captain Dickenson could not be allowed ; because it was founded neither in justice nor equity ; a decision which had been confirmed alike by the Court of Admiralty and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Sir G. PECHELL considered that notwithstanding the statement of the right hon. baronet, the case still required investigation. The bill of the Admiralty con-' tained items of so extortionate a character, that although twenty years had elapsed, so monstrous a case ought not to be passed over without notice. Capt. SCOBELL said that the services of the Light ning, her captain, and crew, had been the admiration of the profession, and the fact that several boards of the Admiralty had discouraged the claim was of little im portance, for one board always supported the decisions of its predecessors. The gallant admiral did not ask for money, but for an inquiry whether the claim was just. As for Captain Dickenson being in Greenwich, that was of itself a claim, and not a reason why the motion should be rejected. (Hear.) Admiral BERKELEY expressed an opinion unfa vourable to the claim of Captain Dickenson. Mr. WILKINSON warned the house against the practice into which the house had lately fallen of bring ing up questions which had already been decided by a competent division.

By order, GEO. SEDGWICK, Sec. - Earl GRANVILLE thought that the practice of re ferring bills to a select committee 'had been carried too far in their lordships' house. The provisions of this bill had been carefully settled, and any further improve ments could be effected in committee, of the house. It would not be neces sary t o refer the bill to a committee up-stairs. _ After a few words from the Earl of DONOUGHBIORN, the amendment was withdrawn and the bill read a second time.

The motion was therefore lost. THE CASE OF THE STAR. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that some time ago, in consequence of a statement which appeared in the public papers he brought before the house a case, the like of whiceh he hoped had never occurred in the history of her Majesty's navy. It was stated that nearly all the crew of the sloop of war the Star, Commander Warren, had been flogged —some of them two, three, or four times— that many of the petty officers had been disrated, in order to place them in a position in which they might be flogged, and that many of the able seamen had been degraded into ordinary seamen. When he asked the right hon. baronet, the First Lord of the Admiralty, if that statement were true, the right hon. gentleman said that only a few of the men had been flogged, and those because they had stolen a cask of wine and got drunk with it. That statement went forth, and he (Mr. Wil liams) received a communication from the crew of the Star, indignantly denying the charge. In short he (Mr. Williams) was convinced that the right hon. baronet had been entirely deceived. He (Mr. Williams) had, therefore, asked for a return of all the punish ments which had been inflicted under Commander War ren, but the right hon. baronet refused to accede to his request on the pretence that the House of Commons was not a fitting body to have anything to do with the discipline or management of the navy. Why, the House of Commons had done far more for the navy (and the army too) than the right hon. baronet or any of his predecessors, or any commander-in-chief. Time was when the minimum punishment in the army was a thousand lashes ; but in consequence of the opinions expressed in the House of Commons, the Duke of Wellington reduced it to 50. So in the navy, the practice of flogging men through the fleet had been abolished, and instead of a thousand, the number of lashes had been brought down to 48. So much for the exertions of the House of Commons and the press. (Hear, hear.) And what had been the result of the change ? In the army, there were flogged during the year 1845 and six months of 1846, 341 men, who re ceived 38,500 lashes, or an average of 113 each. Last year 45 men only were flogged, and they received 1,900 lashes, or an average of 46 each. (Hear, bear.) In the year 1852, there were no fewer than 101 regiments in which there had been no corporal punishment whatever; where 20 years ago there was probably not a regiment in the whole service of which that could be said. flogged;in the navy, during the year 1842, 2,170 men we in the year 1852, there were only ea ch . more 578. (H re r•)The punishments in the navy, however, cruel than those in the army. Indeed,w were much m had u been both, as surred by an officer who had frequently that 43 lashes in the navy were infinitely witnessedrse than 200 in the army. Did the right hon. hart. mean to say that the House of Commons, which had, without a murmur, d in his hands 13 millions, and the large patron agep ace , expenditure of that vast sum, dependent upon the no right to interfere ? Besides that amount, the house, had granted a large sum for rewards, t o entice men into her Majesty's service ; although the only thing in the navy that sailors objected to was the cat•o'-hi ne . tails ; for the service had otherwise many advantages over any other in the world. (Hear.) After the wstataes ment which he had made in the house, an inquiry instituted by Admiral Perry, who at its close reprimanded Commander Warren, and also reprimanded the crew. After a long hesitation the right hon, baronet at last re moved Commander Warren. As for the men, the lan gune they used wao quite noble. Th e y said they were r [PRICE 5.D ready anywhere to shed their blood in the service of the Queen, but that they did object to have it shed by the cat-o'-nine-tails of this Commander Warren. No won der that frequent desertions had taken place, or that the ship had gone to sea in such a state of disaffection that no one could prognosticate the result. What were the I crimes for which men were now flogged? Telling un truth, foul language, disrespect, insult, fighting, going to an officer contrary to orders, quarrelling, smoking when at their post, and other trifling matters. (Hear.) There was no flogging in the French army or navy. Now that the allied forces were together, what must the French think when they heard the groans of their bre thren under the lash ? What, but that "ley were a disregarded set of beings ? If the right ho s. baronet refused this return it must be because he was ashamed to make it. He had evidently been mis informed. He said there bad been little or no flogging; the crew said they had all been flogged, and some of them more than once. The right hon. gentle man concluded by mov i ng f or " a return of the number of petty officers, seamen, and marines respectively, who were flogged on board her Majesty's sloop Star, while under the command of Commander F. P. Warren, stating the alleged offence, the number of lashes in flicted on each ; the number who were flogged more than once, and the number of lashes inflicted in each flogging; also the number of petty officers disrated, and of able seamen reduced to ordinaries. Sir J. GRAHAM—The house may suppose from the statement of the hon. member that I am under some obligation to him on account of the courtesy which in duced him, on more than :one occasion, at my request, to postpone this motion ; and I am not slow now to acknowledge that courtesy. But I had hoped that the delay which, at my request, he had allowed to take place, would have led him to make a dispassionate state ment to the house, and one which was perfectly accu rate. I will not go through the various inaccuracies of that statement, but will just give a sample. The hon. gentleman says there was a time when 1.000 lashes were inflicted in the navy. I deny the accuracy of that state ment altogether ; there never was a time when that number was inflicted. Mr. W. WILLIAMS— Mention the highest number. Sir J. GRAHAM—Then he stated that 13,000,0001. had been placed at the disposal of the Admiralty in the present session. It is no such amount. Then, again, he says that there is a fondness on the part of the Admiralty for the infliction of corporal punishment. The statement he has himself produced shows that, during the last 12 years, so far from there being a fond ness for this species of punishment, there has been a constant and progressive diminution of it ; and happily, within the last two years, that reduction has been brought to the smallest amount. (Hear, hear.) Then, again, the hon. gentleman, even in the very terms of his motion, wishes to be informed what number of petty officers have been flogged on board the Star. I thought I heard him say incidentally that petty officers, by the rules of the service, could not be flogged ; but, by the terms of his motion, he would lead the public to sup pose that this had been done in defiance of regulations. Mr. W. WILLIAMS—I beg your pardon. No such thing. Sir J. GRAHAM—Read the motion. "Return of the number of petty officers, seamen, and marines re spectively, who were flogged on board her Majesty's sloop Star." That clearly points to petty officers on board the Star being flogged. Mr. W. WILLIAMS—After they were disrated. Sir J. GRAHAM—The hon. gentlemen takes credit to himself, that it was in consequence of some question which he put to me in this house that the Board of Ad miralty instituted an inquiry into the discipline on board the ship Star. So far from that, before the question was put, upon a representatio n made to the Admiralty, from one of the cr ew o f t h e Star, an inquiry was instituted by direction of the Board of Admiralty. Then, again, he says that, in consequence of that question, and in conse quence of the inquiry instituted, as he imagines, at his instigation—which I d eny altoget her —Commander Warren was removed by the Board of Admiralty from the comet and of the Star. Mr. WILLIAMS—I did not say by my instigation. Sir J. GRAHAM—Commande r W arren was not re moved at all from the command of that ship. On the contrary, the Board of Admiralty was prepared to allow Captain Warren to go out in command of the Star ; and it is in consequence of his own ill health that he is not now in command of that ship. Then again, the hon. gentleman says that there was the greatest unwillingness on the part of the ship's company to serve under Cap tain Warren. The fact is, that two-thirds of them ex pressed their perfect readiness to go with Captain War ren to any part of the world. Then, again, he says that desertions were very nu merous. Mr. WILLIAMS —No. I said that desertions took place. Sir J. GRAHAM—I cannot speak positively ; but my belief is, that there were not more than two deser tions from the whole of the ship's company after the cir cumstance to which the hon. gentleman refers. On the last occasion when I addressed the house, I had to appeal against the house constituting itself into a tribunal of review upon decisions of courts of law, and was glad to find that, along with others, the hon. member for Lam beth thought that that was not a proper function for the house to assume. The hon. gentleman has referred to a private conversation which he had with me about this motion. I was certainly not prepared for his producing before the house what passed between us in private ; but in public I am quite prepared to repeat what I then said to him. He mistakes me if he thinks I said that it was not one of the highest functions and duties of the house to lay down principles for the guidance of every branch of the public service. And if it should be the opinion of this house, deliberately taken and deliberately pronounced, that corporal punishment shall cease in the navy, then, though I demur to the correctness of such an opinion, still if it were deliberately pronounced, after full discussion, in a full house, I think the executive must adopt that opinion. But, on the other hand, I say, if, apart from laying down principles, it should as sume all the details of the executive in the administra tion of discipline, such a course would be quite fatal to all the interests both of the army and the navy. (Hear, hear.) In this particular case of the Star, the matter Las been investigated—first, by Admiral Percival, than whom a more humane and able officer does not exist in her Majesty's service ; and he fully reported on the facts of the case. That report was carefully considered at the Board of Admiralty, in the presence of myself, two ad mirals, and one captain. We did come to a conclusion that there had been indiscretion and misconduct on the part of the commander, but not of such a character as to justify his being tried by a court-martial or removed from his ship. His errors of judgment were pointed out to him, and he was admonished to be more cautious for the future. With respect to the crew, there was much want of discipline, and much insubordinate con duct. There was a particular transaction, for which four men were flogged in one day, and where, I repeat, it was distinctly proved in evidence on that occasion, that a case of wine was broken open—that four sailors, who were proved to be parties to the theft, were grossly insubordinate and drunk on the occasion, and in my opinion were properly punished. There were more in stances of similar insubordination and intemperance, which were punished from time to time ; but it is a gross exaggeration to say that two-thirds of the ship's com pany were punished. It is also quite wrong to say that petty officers—for it is contrary to the rules of the ser vice—had received corporal punishment on board that ship. Again I say, I shall be very sorry if this house, on a matter of discipline, which has been carefully re viewed by the competent authorities, should erect itself into a tribunal of appeal in a special case ; and until the house shall decide that corporal punishment shall no longer be inflicted in the navy, I hope the house will allow justice to be administered in mercy by the execu tivethe government, and, in justice to the authority of executive government, will not institute inquiries lightly into what it does. I may express the opinion, which am sure will be shared by the great majority of this house , eithera t corporal witness punishment e rth iismapmo impose. t (H painful ear, h e hear.) punish mentrooßut, as I have frequently stated, though instances of breach of discipline are very few, yet it is abso a u ted ly n ce a s r s r a e r w y, a w e h p e a r e e e, a w v i a t s h t b a o il dy th o e f ir m di en ff a e r re e wn c ht on feelings, and other circumstances t refer, that authority, to be upheld, must ehg be congregated characterspl needae e in nn andso in ot summary hmaanrdys and done decisivem n— ; that t o that,b e aeffective same rn i t t t ilm s e t t , h be t t but e n t d he ov e e e r r l v o i o e k e e i d s:e l x l c ia evpet until the inflictedpu nis.h s m ta u t s e t d b t e o e t a h r e ef l u io ll u y se gu t p h e a r t in th te e n ru de le d corporal in caseso requiringf p l i n in u i t e i i i i i m y, entsh al lapse of twenty-four hours l.frnopiotnrthoatinbthepetthceofm mission of the offence. A warrant, showing acts of the case justify the infliction has to be submitted to the Ad miralty ; all these warrants are reviewed by a regular Board of Admiralty, and in cases of doubt each case is se parately investigated by the board. When this is known, I hope the house will not think that wo are wanting in the common feelings of humanity. It is our duty, with a very scrutinisin g eye, to look i n t o a ll t h ese cases . I assure the house it is a more painful duty, but it is one which we feel incumbent upon us, not to relax too unduly the discipline of the service. I hope that the house on the whole will be content with the statement I have made, and will not call for the production of this return. The matter has been thoroughly investigated ; Commander Warren has left the ship ; another captain and another lieutenant have been appointed ; the crow of the ship have now gone cheering to a distant station ; the matter of dissatisfaction is settled, and it would not be for the benefit of the public service should the house agree to an inquiry into that arrangement, which has been perfectly satisfactory to the Board of Admiralty, and for which they are responsible. Mr. L. HEYWORTH said he was led to believe, from a letter of Admiral Dundas's, which he had seen, that the best way of abolishing flogging would be to dis continue the supply of rum in the navy. Sir John Ross had found that he could do very well without it in the Arctic regions. Mr. W, WILLIAMS, in explanation, said the right hon. baronet, instead of meeting the question, had had recourse to special pleading. He knew that petty officers, as su c h, cou ld n ot be fl ogge d ; b u t th e moment they were di sra t e d th e y were fl ogge d, an d this had been done for the purpose.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The house met at five o'clock. THE POLISH SUBJECTS OF THE CZAR. The Earl of HARRINGTON gave notice that on Thursday next he should ask if the Government autho rised Lord Westmoreland to state to the Cabinet of Vienna that the Polish subjects of the Czar would not be allowed to follow the banners of the allies ? There were about 13,000,000 Polish subjects of Russia, who were so deeply interested in the events of the war that he felt bound to put a question to the Government on the subject. FINCHLEY ROAD BILL. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE this bill was read a third time and passed. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, Lord BEAUMONT said the house could not refuse the limited liability of this company, which had been given to all canals, viaducts, acqueducts, railways, and other great public undertakings. He moved to have a clause to that effect reinserted. Lord REDESDALE hoped they would allow the bill to pass in its present shape, as the standing orders had been fully complied with. (Hear, hear.) He was himself favourable to granting limited liability to this company, though there were four or five other telegraph companies besides this one, to which Parliament had refused limited liability. If this clause were inserted, it would give to this company a year's start before all the of ALDERLEY said he othLeorrcdomspTaAnsie. STANLEY under stood this company came under the category of those to which the house had agreed to grant limited liability. The clause was then added to the bill, which was then read a third time and passed. Lord BROUGHAM rose to move the third reading of this bill, and was ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. COURT OF CHANCERY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR in moving the second reading of this bill, said he had introduced it in con nexion with his noble and learned friend Lord St. Leonards, who was then absent, and it had reference to causes still pending in the offices of the Masters in Chan cery. It was stated in a recent debate that there still remained in the offices of the five remaining Masters no less than 893 causes. This appeared a startling fact ; and in order that the public might be aware of the real state of the case, he wished to say that he had since ascertained that, though there were still 893 causes, yet within the two years, or one year and three quarters which had elapsed since the passing of the act of Parlia ment which abolished the office of the Masters, these gentlemen had finally disposed of no less than 1,053 causes. They had, in fact, got through more than half of the arrears ; and he had reason to believe that they were proceeding as rapidly as possible with the re mainder. The object of this bill was to give them cer tain facilities for the discharge of their duties whichthey did not at present possess. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, the bill was read a second time. MERCHANT SHIPPING ACTS REPEAL BILL. This bill was also read a second time. The Portland, &c. Chapels Bill passed through com mittee. The following bills were read a second time : —Highway Rates Bill ; Saving Banks Bill ; Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Bill; General Board of Health Bill. TOWNS IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. Earl GRANVILLE having moved the second read ing of this bill, The Earl of DONOUGHMORE moved as an amend ment, that it be read a second time that day three months, He objected to the bill, first, on account of its form ; and, secondly, on account of its details. As regarded the form, the learned gentleman by whom it was drawn, had taken the whole machinery of it from the Lands Clauses Con solidation Acts. The bill as it then stood, might be adopted in no less than 237 towns and villages in Ire land, and the whole of its complicated machinery would have to be administered by little shopkeepers, who were for the most part utterly ignorant of the law, and who, even if they had some general notions of legal matters, would be quite confounded by the references to other acts. The commissioners who were to carry out the bill might be persons who occupied a house of the value of only 121. a year ; and it was a strange anomaly that while persons who were to vote on the question, whe ther or not the act should be applied, must be rated at 81. a year, the qualification to vote in the election of the commissioners was only 41. Thirteen towns had peti tioned for the bill, and he had no objection to the pass ing of such a measure in reference to them. There was no urgent necessity for the measure. It was crude, in efficient, and did not bear on the face of it what it pur ported to be. He begged therefore to move that it be postponed till that day three months. Earl GRANVILLE considered that no reason had been urged for postponing the bill. He admitted there was an apparent inconsistency in the qualifications of the two classes of electors, but if the noble lord w i s h e d he would not object to uniformity by reducing the quali fication to a rate of 41. With regard to the invasion of the Queen's prerogative, when the Queen gave her as sent to the bill that objection would not apply. The Earl of DESART said that some of the clauses of the bill were arbitrary, tyrannical, and inexpedient, and as an Irishman he must protest against a measure which was an invasion of the liberties of Irishmen. The Earl of CLANCARTY said that it was most de sirable to improve and extend the provisions of the exist ing law- but the qualification required of the electors by WA bill wax too low. There were fdeveral other ob. PUBLIC REVENUE AND CONSOLIDATED FUND CHARGES BILL. The select committee on this bill was nominated. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DEEDS BY MARRIED WOMEN BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that this bill be read a second time. His lordship explained that its object was to obviate certain objections which bad been made to some acknowledgments taken before commis sioners who were interested in the business to which those acknowledgments referred. The bill was read a second tithe. COMMONS ENCLOSURE (No. 2) BILL. This bill was read a third time. MEXICO MARRIAGES BILL. This bill was read a second time. Their lordships adjourned at 25 minutes past 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) EPISCOPAL AND CAPITITLAR ESTATES MANAGEMENT BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. CAYLEY moved as an instruction to the com mittee, that it is expedient in this bill, renewing the act 14 and 15 Victoria, c. 104, to define more clearly the intention of the following words in the first clause of that act, viz., "It shall be lawful for any Ecclesiastical Corporation, sole or aggregrate with the approval in writing of the Ch urch Estate ' Commissioners, who shall pay due regard to the just and reasonable claims of the present holders of lands, under lease or otherwise, arising from the long continued practice of renewal, to sell to any lessee, under any lease granted by such corporation, the revision, estate, and interest of such corporation in all or any of the lands comprised in such lease, for such consideration, upon such terms, and in such manner as such corporation and lessee may, with such approval as aforesaid, think fit." The SPEAKER said there was no necessity for any such instruction, as the committee would have full power to make the requisite alterations if they should think fit. Lord J. RUSSELL remarked that under these cir cumstances it would be better to go into committee at once. After some observations from Mr. G. H. Liddell, Mr. Aglionby, and Mr. Goulburn, the house went into com mittee. Ali the original clauses of the bill having been agreed ;o, Mr. INGHAM moved the insertion of the following clause :—"That in every case where a treaty shall have been entered into under the provisions of this act, for the sale, purchase, or exchange of any episcopal or capitular estate in England, or of any interest in such estate, it shall be lawful by the consent of both parties to such treaty, to refer to arbitration the finding o f the anti al value of such estate, and of the value of the fee simple thereof, subject to the exceptions and reservations, if any, to be excepted and reserved thereout, and that such finding shall be adopted in computing the terms of such sale, purchase, or exchange, regard being bad, in the final settlement of such terms in every such case, to the just and reasonable claims of the present holders of land under lease or otherwise, arising from the long con tinued practice of renewal ; and that in every such case one arbitrator shall be appointed by each of the parties to such treaty, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall, before they proceed in the matter re ferred to them, appoint an umpire or third arbitrator, and the proceedings upon such arbitration shall be con ducted in like manner, and subject to the same rules and enactments as upon a reference made by consent upon a rule of court or judge's order. Provided always that it shall be lawful for the parties to such treaty to appoint one and the same person to act as sole arbitrator ; and in such case the valuations acts and award of the arbitrators and umpire, under the pro visions herein contained ; and in every case the costs of such arbitration and award shall be in the discretion of the said arbitrators or umpire, as the case may be." This clause led to some discussion, but ultimately Lord J. RUSSELL said, he had no objection to the clause if using were added to it, providing that the con sent of the Church Establishment Commissioners, as well as the parties, should be obtained before the arbi tration took place. Mr. INGHAM agreed to this amendment of the clause. The clause was then agreed to, and the Chairman was directed to report progress. The house resumed, and leave was given to sit again an Thursday, SUPLY. The rep or t o f t h e commit P tee of supply was brought up and agreed to. JAMAICA LOAN BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. ROYAL MILITARY ASYLUM BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. THE FACTORY ACT. Mr. COBBETT said he was labouring under a phy sical disability which would prevent his bringing on his motion to-night for leave to bring in a bill to amend the Ten Hours' Factory Act—(the hon. gentleman was quite hoarse)—but he should take the very earliest op portunity next session to bring the subject forward. The other twel ve o ' c l ock orders were then disposed oof, clock and the sittin gs o f t h e house were suspended at four '. The house resumed at six o'clock. An HoN.

In 1834, after the Houses of Parliament were destroyed by fire and the new ones projected, th e q uestio n of the ventila , - tion of these buildings came under consideration, an d i n consequence of the evidence given by Dr. Reid, he was desired to make further experiments, and the temporary House of Commons was placed under h is care and ven tilated in such a manner as to c all forth f rom Lord Dun cannon, then Chief Commissioner of Works, in a letter written by him, an opinion that the experiments of Dr. Reid were most satisfactory. Dr. Arnott about the same time had given an opinion in favour of Dr. Reid's system. In 1840 Dr. Reid entered into an engagement to ventilate and warm the new Houses of Parliament, and the nature of that engagement had been much mi s . apprehended. Dr. Reid understood that his services would be required until the new buildings were finished; and nothing less would have induced him to give up his lucrative occupations in Edinburgh. But the engage ment as interpreted by the Treasury bore a very different aspect to that in which Dr. Reid viewed it. He (M r . Dundas believed the right hon. gentleman (Sir William Molesworth) differed from the view of that engagement taken by Dr. Reid, and that he interpreted it to extend only to such time as the Houses of Lords and Commons remained untenanted. Dr. Reid threatened to go to law to assert his rights, but an arbitration was proposed, and, after some delay, he consented to it. When the re ference had been gone into, however, the arbitrators were informed that if they gave any decision which could not be supported in a court of law, they would subject themselves to heavy penalties. The result was that he received only a small sum compared to what he was entitled to. The honourable member then read i a letter from Sir John Forbes , one of the arbi• I z~ 1' 1•.; .~ S PRINTING OF THE HOUSES. Mr. J. GREENE moved for a select committee to consider the cheapest, most expeditious, and most efficient mode of providing for the printing of the houses of Par liament and the public service. He stated that the print ing done at the . Stationery-office was effected much cheaper than that done by the printers of the house ; the latter cost twice as much as the former ; and by placing both on the same footing, an annual saving of about 20,0001. a year would be effected. Some years ago he had been concerned in a scheme for cheapenin the cost of printing; but he had not been able to carry it out successfully. The honourable gentleman pro ceeded to describe the minutim of his scheme, amidst much laughter from the house. From what could be made of it, it appeared to consist in an improvement of the type ; and he offered to demonstrate that it would reduce the cost of printing from a shilling to a farthing, and enable compositors to set up 5,000 letters where they now set up 1,000. At present all the morning and evening papers paid at the rate of 3s. 10d. per galley of 5,000 letters. He was prepared to demonstrate that the same work could he done for 72d. Under these circum stances, he thought he had a right to call on the horse for an inquiry. At present their printing was slow—not economical, and not good. Let the Government appoint their own committee, and he would undertake to give them a good printing-office in a small room. The Ad miralty might have such a one in every ship in the feet; and that would be a great advantage at a time like the present. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he thought this a question of very great importance, and it involved considerations much more important than those on the surface— considerations which it might be neces sary for him to bring under the attention of the house, anl to which he hoped the house would give what atten tion they deserved. Two questions were before them, of an entirely different character. The first was, whe ther the printing required for the service of the Govern ment and of that house was performed in the best and most economical manner. As respected the printing limited d m p e o t s h t e st G ri o o v tl e y rn o m f a en e t o , nfi n d o e t n t t h i a al t character, but the ordinary printing for the service of odrtfiuovnth:disicehrywiease ofm the Government, he believed that the best arrangements which the market would permit was made for its per formance. As to the printing of the two houses, he was not equally informed, but he was disposed to believe that a very considerable economy might be effected in that printing. (Hear.) That was not a matter which be longed especially to the executive government ; but whe ther it were taken up by them or by a committee of the house, very considerable advantage might be expected to result from the inquiry. He believed that that branch of the public service might be more economi cally and advantageously performed than at present, and he should be prepared on a proper occasion to act upon that opinion. He did not think that there would be any advantage in appointing a committee at that moment, for the session had arrived at a period so far advanced that no select committee appointed to consider a question of that importance could be expected to make any effectual progress in it during what re mained of the present session. However, the Govern ment would give the subject all the attention they could during the recess, though they had no special authority ; and, if they did not think fit to make any specfal pro posals, he should be glad to see a committee appointed for that purpose. But the motion of the hon. member raised other considerations—considerations of delicacy and difficulty —of which he himself was not aware. The hon. member said that he himself was interested in a trading enterprise of great importance, which, according to his representation, would tend enormously to econo naiee the important process of printing. Mr. GREENE-4 beg pardon. Not in a trading company. I stated that I was very much interested in it ; but I did not say I was trading. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he understood the hon, gentleman to state that he had ex pended a large sum of money in trying to promote this scheme. The house should evince great caution before appointing instruments of inquiry, clothed with public authority, to inquire into enterprises of a commercial character in which its own members were interested, and with regard to which the avowed purpose was that those members or the patentees, should be employed in the public service. There was another ground on which he could not accede to the motion. The hon. member said such was the effect of these new mechanical processes that they would reduce the expense of setting a galley of 5,000 letters from 3s. 10d. to 71d. ; while iu another part of his speech he spoke of a reduction in an import ant department of printing from a shilling to a penny or a farthiug. Now was it fitting for that house to under take to determine, by means of its own members, the oonaparative efficiency and cheapness of different pro. cesses ? Was it not rather their business to go into the open market, where the capital and enterprise of the country afforded far better opportunities of testing the value of any discovery than any which were possessed by them ? It appeared to him that they would be standing on most dangerous ground if they said that they, the stewards of the public money, would undertake, while incurring no risk themselves, to examine into cer tain processes and modes of printing, and, in defiance of those who were practically interested, to speculate—for that would be the effect—in improvements of this descrip tion. They were told of a great saving of time, and of a reduction of expense from a shilling to a farthing. Well, had the proprietors of the daily papers no interest in availing themselves of these advantages ? It might be said that there was a good deal of the spirit of mo nopoly in the trade ; but that would not prevent per -80135 who were not in the trade from combining together to carry out the invention. (Hear, hear.) He really thought they would be acting contrary to the princi ples of common sense by undertaking to make that house the instrument of trying questions of that kind. He did not in the least undervalue the hon. gentleman's statements. If it were the fact that the attention of the public and of the trade were not sufficiently drawn to the subject, the hon. gentlemen's speech would have the effect of remedying that evil. Moreover, if the hon. gentleman's statements proved correct, the names of Faust and Guttenberg would be rivalled by that of the, lion. gentleman himself—(laughter)—and bronze statu e s would be erected to him and his friend similar to those which had been recently set up in Germany. (Renewed laughter.) It made a man's mouth water to hear of a reduction in the expense of printing from a shilling to a farthing ; but then that effect must extend to those who were in the trade, or at all events to others, who would naturally enter the trade for the purpose of carrying out such an invention. (Hear, hear.) The Government were perfectly ready, and most desirous, th a t the House of Commons should consider the means by which its own printing might be most economically executed ; but for the reasons which he had stated, ho hoped the house would not accede to the motion. if a member Mr. OTWAY agreed with the Chancellor of the _Ex chequer that in any affair of this na ture, had a pecuniaryinterest, it was matter for grave consi- way possess the ad- Luse upen his v d a e r n a t t a i g o e n o w f h t e h t e h er sanctionhe shouldtihnatan under taking ; but he thought that when such an important an inquiry should be conce d ed. saving was in question Mr. GEACH perfectly concurred in the principles laid down by the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the guidance of that house, but could not see what distinction there was between the case of printing and that of the manufacture of small arms. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman had stood up in that house to advocate the Go vernment's becoming manufacturers of arms on a very m th e e an m s e o a f ns ex o e f eu p t r i o n d g u p e r in in g ti a n r g m . s Hweerheopase dexthteenrseipvoe large scale instead o f go i ng to the public market, where g w h h t ie h h on he . g(lletairtl. e G m e e a n ch fr ) o w m as pe a r m se e v m en b n e g r w in ou tt ld e rtasof the e l e ) o re n v im en it t t t e h e e o r f i course on which be had entered. With regard to the motion, he entirely agreed with the right lion, gentleman that it w as not desirable for the Government to under take what was proposed. Re could not help remarking, however, that be believed that, if the invention for perfo rating postage stamps had not been referred to a commit tee of that house, it would never have been adopted. He was satisfied that a much larger saving might be effected in the printing of postage labels ; but in almost all the government offices there were people holding permanent appointments who were obstructive of anything like im provement ; and it required a committee of that house, composed of persons who were accustomed to business, and who would not be put aside by a mere statement of difficulties, to do anything effectual. Ho hoped that next session the right hon. gentleman would call in the assistance of a committee, and avail himself of the ser vices of members of practical experience. Mr. J. WILSON said the honourable gentleman (M s r- Geach) having alluded to the manufacture of small arms , y or sixty manufacturers prepared to do all th ua t_ ty, as they he wished to say that if the Government hadafouwnel_ ne cessary regarded both quantity and manufacturers ci never would lave thought of becomin g department per that there were in every Government to obstruct every im provement,manent officers who were ready n justice to some of themselves. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the remark he felt hound to y year ago Mr. M'Cul ent, aid Sir C. Tre. - e to the Treasury, suggested velyan, the Under S l e i cre .T. y Wilson) had given instruc tions the referred head to, o t h h e a e t t more amtap d t e h s p aln: t a m i an inquiry, and he r. condemned the course pursued by Mr. PELLATT with regard to arms, on the ground the Government w mpetition. that it excluded co tions for an investigation during the recess. Mr. J. FITZGERALD thought the motion ought to be acceded to both on account of the alleged saving of expense to the country, and of the bearing of the ques tion on education and general improvement. ohfa that a t no kind objec h ti: b t e o en such ap p Mr. V. SMITH said that if th e h on, gentleman had confined himself to asking f or an inquiry into the most effectual way of printing fo r th e House of Commons, he v es e appointed b motion, en efo b r e e ea , and numaldithtae with beneficial eff ec t as regarded economy. The hon. gentleman candidly st a t e d in his speech that his object committees 140,fr • • e IV -, stolen ; now it was a case. Which would the right hon."` baronet stand by ? (Hear.) He (Mr. Williams) did notig ask for any change in the discipline of the navy ; all he wanted was a statement of the extent of punishment in the Star. The right hon. baronet sa id t h at Commander Warren h a d not been removed ; but he had requested that this motion might be postponed until the Admiralty had determined what should be done, and he un d erstood him to say that C ommander Warren had been removed. Sir J. GRAHAM—I did not say that ; I maid he had resigned. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that was merely a gentle way of letting him down. Admiral BERKELEY denied that any petty officer had been disrated for the purpose of being flogged. Such a course would be contrary to the rules of the service. Mr. W. 'WILLIAMS declined to divide, and the motion was withdrawn. I 3 A HANWELL COLLEGE and PREPARATOR Y SCHOOL.
