THE OFFICES OF THE MINISTER FOR WAR AND THE FOREIGN SECRETARY. The Earl of MALMESBURY rose, in pursuance of notice, to ask the intentions of her Majesty's Govern ment respecting the public buildings intended for the department of the Minister for War and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The noble earl said he wished first to direct the attention of the head of the Government to a rumour which he believe was well founded, that the department of the new Minister of War was about to be stationed at the office now occu pied by the Enclosure Commissioners in Whitehall gardens. Of course it was necessary that the new t r important thaen should houl business db e which Secretary of State should have an office which should be sufficient he inw would d ry h a r v e e s respect n ct for a s theac transact ;but mp able to show their lordships that a great sacrifice of public interests would be made if the rumoured change were to take place. The office of Enclosure Commis sioners was one of the most important and usefui of the public of this country. Within its walls were con tained to no less than 50,000 documents, of great value to the public. In the first place there were about 20,000 maps, which had been drawn at a very great expense, and could be seen by any person for a very small sum. These maps were so minute that they might be called field maps, and any one who wished to obtain a tracing of one, could do so on the payment of twenty five shillings, whereas if he went to a person whose profession it was to furnish such things it would cost him seventy or eighty pounds. Another very important collection of documents in this office consisted of the exchanges which had been made under the Enclosure office. Formerly exchanges could not -ha made without a very large expense being incurred itt 'proving titles. Now, when two parties wished to make an exchange they had simply to produce their documents before the commissioners, and the exchange was effected generally for about 4/. in the case of considerable estates. Further, within these walls remained the original of documents and draftcopies of corresponding papers furnished to parties, and these being registered, the office served the purpose of a registration office. In fact there were in this office 50,000 documents all arranged with as much care as any mu seum. Now be understood that the new Minister of War was to be transferred with all his staff to the office, and that in consequence the Commissioners of Enclosure were to be turned out and sent to St. James's-square, All those documents, which had been in course of ar rangement fur two years, were to be removed from the places in which they were deposited, to a new office which had been selected for them ; and he spoke, he believed, under the mark, when he said that a year and a half or two years must elapse before they could be re arranged in their present order. If there were any pressing necessity for deranging this registration office the case would be different ; but he had no doubt that it would cause much less inconvenience to the public, to send the new Minister of War to St. James-square, than to remove the office of the Enclosure Commissioners. He hoped the noble earl opposite (Aberdeen) would examine the matter himself with the view of ascertain ing whether proper arrangements could be made for the new Secretary of War without interfering with one of the most useful offices in the country, He wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to do any thing towards the repairing or rebuilding of the Foreign-office. Their lordships well know its out ward appearance. It was a ruinous building which he could only compare to some of the old palaces in Cala bria. It looked ready to fall, and was, in fact, a dis grace to the metropolis. (Hear, hear.) Parliament was, in its generosity, supposed to have given to the Se cretary of State for Foreign Affairs a house to live in, as well as to perform the duties of his office. Formerly this house was inhabited by the Foreign Secretary, but since Mr. Canning's time no Secretary of State had re sided in it. Yet the Foreign Secretary of State was obliged to perform the duties of hospitality on a large scale ; and he quite agreed with Lord Palmerston in his declaration before the committee of the House of Com mons on public salaries, that that Minister carried on almost as much business in conversation, and in society as iii his own room. (Hear, hear.) What was the state of the Foreign-office now t There was only one room in which its occupant could see company ; though the diplomatique corps amounted to above one hundred persons. Two years ago the ceiling of that room fell in, and had the Secretary of State been there at the time he would no doubt have ceased to be a member of the Govern ment. (Laughter.) Before a party could be invited, this room had to be propped up, and the whole office to be unroofed. (Laughter.) Moreover,' as a noble friend reminded him, there was no kitchen—(laughter) — a de ficiency which of course prevented the possibility of any suitable hospitality. To him, it appeared very disgrace ful to the country that the office should have been allowed to continue in its present state, and he should r fromsethe be very glad to hear f rom the head o f t h e G overnment that a new office was a b out to be bu i lt. T that ; when h t ex pedient to separate th e o ffi ce o f S ecretary of the War department saidlon p e so, position i e o o n n f courseiint whichwa' was found became necessary he Earl a to l o f find that OABERDEEN m of convenient e e officer might he placed. Their lordships would easily conceive that it was of great importance that the office of Secretary of War should be in the immediate neigh bourhood of Downing-street and the Horse Guards. There were only two buildings which complied with that c ondition—Gwydyr-nouse and Pembrokehouse. Gwydyr-house was occupied by the Poor Law Commis sioners, who were in constant communication with the Secretary of State for the H ome Department ; and the chief commissioner bein g in the House of Commons, and the business of this de p artmen t also much more con nected with the Ho use of Com mons than that of the Enclosure Commissioners is, it would have been ex tremely inconsistent to remove that office to a distance. To the Enclosure Commissioners there was not the same inconvenience ; they were not in constant communica tion with any other office or with the House of Com mons, and it was th ou g ht that the y might, without any material inconvenien ce, be remov ed to a house which they themselves had strongly r epresented to the Board of Works as peculiarly suitable tor them, i n St. James's square. That house would be rather more than sufficient to accommodate them . Of course an y removal must be attended with more or less inconveni ence ; but he could Years( as was supposed by building ; he sh ou ld i mag i ne t h at twelve months woul d suffice for that purpose. It was theneo s t c think ri noblebe d i i it earl,would another o take re-arrange two the d ocuments which he described mechanical operatio n which mi g ht be performed with out any great difficul t y and with no d anger whatever. If, however, he foun d on inquir y that th e inconvenience would be any,thing like what the noble e ar l su pp ose d, there could be no reason why the proposed arrangement should be carried out. The noble earl ba d been but too accurate in his descript ion of the state o f the Foreign ( ffice. It was not only disgraceful but dangerous, as he well knew from his own experience many years ago. Notwithstanding the annual inspection which it under went at the hands of competent persons—builders-- with a view not to repair it, but to ascertain its safety, it was in a very bad c ondition. He had himself felt quite alarmed. At the same time, though this was an object which had engaged the attention of various Go vernments, he could not say that her Majesty's present Government were prepared to propose to Parliament a grant for a new building. Plans for a new building were in course of preparation, and they would probably be completed in the course of the summer, but he could not say that the Government were now in a position to propose the necessary grant for a new building. He hoped when the noble earl again became a tenant of the Foreign-office it would be quite fit for his accommoda tion. (Laughter ) The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH said that the Fo reign-office they were tol d was in an extremely danger itos long u'4st as the Treaty ate' and vNasa ca use of great anxi e ty ; b u t it l a st e d of Adrianople itself, which had secured, it was said, the continuance of peace. (Laugh -1 ter.) If diplomacy had secured the continuance of peace, 1 he should have thought better of it than he did before, and if it now secured the tranquillisation of Europe, some new building like that alluded to by the noble earl mig :ht be erected to celebrate that event, with the 100 Rile i ts mentioned by the noble earl. (Laughter.) He agreed with the noble earl opposite in thinking that at the pre sent time it was not at all desirable to lay out a largest im of money, some 70,000/. or 80,0001., on a mag nificen t building for the Foreign-office. That money ex pendec i on the war would be more serviceable than if it were rpended in diplomacy or in objects which would render I iiplornacy more brilliant. He concurred in the ob jection to the removal of the Enclosure Commissioners. He tho ught that any decent house in Carlton-place would b e adequate to all the requirements of the Secre tary of War, and would suit the public convenience. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the staff of the office, he was of opinion that it should be composed of men who knew war, and had seen service in different parts of the globe, and taken from all arms of the service, cavalry, infantry, artillery, and engineers. In his opinion it was essential if the duties of the office were to be efficiently ' discharged, that the staff should be composed of military men, of weight and authority in war. If it was thought right that the head of the department should be a civi lian, it was essential that he should hare facilities of constant communication with military men in the office, who would advise him, not as his equals or as a board, but as persons responsible for the advice they gave. If that were done, he was sure that all the advantage which the public expected from the severance of the two offices would not be in vain. (Hear.) Lord REDESDALE hoped that nothing would be done with respect to the appropriation of the spare ground till the subject was fully considered.(Hear.) Great inconvenience existed from the narrow carriage passage to the houses of Parliament, and it might be thought necessary to widen Parliament-street. Great inconvenience arose also from the scattering of the public offices, and the continuance of the present build ings across Downing-street would be very desirable. Lord CAMPBELL said that some scheme should be laid down with respect to the courts of law. (Laughter.) They could not continue in their present disgraceful state. They were considered now to be an obstruction to the cohesion of Sir C. Barry's great plan. They wanted no splendour or luxury in the courts of law, but they did want the necessary accommodation for the judges, the jurymen, and the witnesses who had to at tend the courts, and which was quite inadequate at pre sent. On a recent occasion three of his learned brethren of the Queen's Bench were sitting in the Bail Court, when they were driven out of it by an invasion—not of the Russians, but of stench that was " sublime." (Laughter.) Mr. Burke said in his treatise On the Sublime and Beautiful," that a stench was a source of the sublime—(laughter)—and if that were so, this was a sublime stench. (Laughter.) His learned brethren fled from it as from an enemy. It was intense, pestiferous, as any of their lordships might, by going there, be able to judge for himself. (Laughter.) He was frequently ashamed to show the courts of law to foreigners who came over to this country. (Hear.) Lord ST. LEONARDS said that, with very little ex pense, the courts of equity in Westminster might be given up to the courts of law, and the equity courts then removed to Lincoln's-inn. He objected to the carrying out of Sir C. Barry's plan in extenso. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that it was the fault of his noble and learned friend's colleagues that they did not sit in the Court of Chancery, for he gave direc tions that the courts of law might sit in it when he did not use it himself. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that Sir C. Barry's building was the admiration of all foreigners who came over to England. Lord BROUGHAM said that, however excellent the execution, he retained his fundamental objection to the barbarism of erecting a Gothic instead of a Grecian building in the middle of the 19th century. After a few words from the Earl of MALMESBUBY, the subject dropped. WARWICK ASSIZES BILL. This bill was read a second time. EDUCATION. Lord BROTJGHAM gave notice that on the 17th inst. he would move a series of resolutions upon the great subject of national education. CANADA. The Earl of DERBY gave notice that on to-morrow he would put a question to the Government7respecting an important despatch which had been received from Canada (as was understood) by the Secretary of War. COURT OF CHANCERY. Lord ST. LEONARDS said that he had moved for a return of the number of cases depending in the offices in the five Masters in Chancery. That return would soon be printed, and would show the number and nature of those causes, which he hoped would lead more speedily than anything else to the winding-up of these cases. The Masters' offices were abolished by reason of the de lay occasioned in the administration of justice, but some of them were retained till the business then depending in them was disposed of, and for this purpose the mas ters were empowered to summon all the parties to causes before them, and if they did not appear, to proceed with the business themselves, and wind up every case as fast as possible. They had, therefore, full power to put an end to these matters. The return, however, stated that the number of causes depending in the five Masters' offices was in round numbers 1,200. This was a great evil, which it was absolutely necessary to put an end to ; because, if these cases were transferred to the new system, they would be a clog on the proceedings of the courts, which ought to be permit ted to proceed in the administration of justice unembar rassed by any of these old causes. The matters re maining in the Masters' offices did not depend on legal construction, being mostly matters of account and inquiry ; and their lordships did not need to be told that the longer matters of this kind were delayed the greater was the difficulty in settling them. Great im provements had been made in the Masters' offices under the new system no doubt ; but still the delay was not much less than before the recent act of Parliament passed. The report of Master Tinney—the first that had been laid before the house—showed what were the principal causes of the arrears. It appeared that one case had been 14 years in the office without the accounts being taken or the scheme settled, and several other cases for nearly as long a period. It was a common oc currence for parties to get an order referring a case to a master, and not carry it into his office for a very long period afterwards. In many cases there bad been no proceedings for 12 or 18 months, notwithstanding the attempts of the masters to force the parties on. Of the private causes, one had been as long as 22, and one 17 years in the master's office. The estates in the other offices were much in the same condition. To meet this mischief he proposed that such powers should be given to the masters to conclude these matters as would leave the parties without excuse for not proceeding. At present a great deal of the business in the courtsthough very impor tant in itselfconsisted merely of passing accounts, and he would suggest the appointment of a new officer, in the vice-chancellor's court and that of the Master of the Rolls, whose sole duty it should be to pass accounts. This would greatly accelerate the winding up of estates, and be the means of getting in more money. Under the present system there were no fewer than 511 receivers of accounts in the different courts ; and the appointment of a new officer to superintend these would greatly pro mote despatch. He would also provide that abandoned causes should be certified by the Masters to the Lord Chancellor, who should declare them at an end, other wise they might be revived as at present. Thera should also be a power to refer questions of account to account- ants, who would do in a few days what now occupied six months. Some amendment was also required in the mode of appointing conveyancers to assist the court in questions of title. Whether the delay was with the subordinate officers or in the chambers of the judge, the evil was the same ; and means ought to be adopted to get rid of it. In some cases the masters did not know how to proceed ; to meet this difficulty he would give them power to apply to the court for instructions. Fresh powers were also necessary in cases of abate ment and bankruptcy, in order that cases of this kind might be wound up as speedily as possible. He also proposed to give greater discretion to the masters in admitting evidence, so as to obviate the de lay in taking accounts. There were other sugges tions which ho had reduced to writing, and he would place the whole in the hands of the Lord Chancellor. He had not the slightest doubt that greater despatch would be produced by his simply calling the attention of their lordships to this subject. Probably when they met next session they would find a beneficial change in this respect ; and in this hope he refrained from proposing, what be should otherwise have done, that the masters should be formed into a court under the immediate con trol of the Lord Chancellor. The noble and learned lord concluded by moving for a return of the cases pent:- ing, in continuation of a former return. He hoped the noble lord on the woolsack would turn his attention to the matter, and that full power would bo given for ob viating the evils complained of. ith erye learneds did not try by every Lord BROUGHAM thought the statement that had been made a very valuable one, and hoped that it would be placed in a permanent form before their lordships. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he felt the impor tance of the subject as much as any one, but said that the public ought to be aware that all this delay was not the delay of the courts, but that of the parties. When people got involved in a long question of ac counts, they became weary of it, and would not pro ceed. The masters had been doing all they could to force the parties on, but were unable to do so. In many cases they had summoned parties, but some excuse was always offered for not proceeding.

The real cause of the delay arose from the fact that it was not so was in many cases owing well worth the while of the solicitors to press forward indisposition of the parties old cases as to commence new ones. It was only fair, them selves to pay for further proceedings. In conclusion he ba d on ly to say that he was much obliged to his noble - and learned friend for his suggestions, and that he should however,to he inability say otrh endeavour to act upon them as far as he was able. The subject then dropped. GAMING HOUSES BILL. This bill waq read a third time and passed. INCUMBERED ESTATES (WEST INDIES) BILL, The report of amendments was considered and re , ceived. Their lordships rose at twenty-five minutes to eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Ayr and Maybole Junction Railway, Perth and Dnnkeld Railway, and Stourbridge Waterworks Bills. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. HORSFALL, from Liverpool, for closing public-houses on Sundays ; by Mr. H. MADDOX, against the 13th clause of the Mort main Bill by Lord R. GROSVENOR, from Brentford, with a similar prayer. VALUATION (IRELAND). Sir R. FER6USON moved for returns showing, in the counties in Ireland in which the townland valuation has been completed, under the act 6 and 7 Will. IV., c. 84, the name of each county, the acreable contents, the annual value, the cost of the valuation by the acre, the cost by the 101. of the valuation, and the date when it first came into force in each county: Of similar details as to each county of which the tenant valuation has been completed, under the Act 9 and 10 Vic. 110, and 15 and 16 Vic. c. 63: Showing, in each Poor-law Union in Ireland, in which the tenement valuation is in force, the name of each such union, the cost (if any) of the valuation, &c. of such union above its share of the valu ation of the county, the date when it first came in force in each union, the number of revisions of each union which have been made under the 29th and 30th sections of the last act, and the date and cost of each revision, with the date of payment of each by the union : Of similar details as to any towns under the tenement valuation. And, statement of the progress and prospect of completion of the General valuation of Ireland, with the average cost by the acre, and by the 1001. of the valuation, comparing the townland valuation with the tenement. The motion was agreed to. ROYAL COMMISSION. Mr. PIILMAN, the Yeoman-Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the table and. summoned the house to attend in the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given to a number of bills. The Speaker and several hon. members then repaired to the House of Lords accordingly. The Speaker, on his return, announced th e names o f th e bill s , f or which see Lords' report. PUBLICATIONS BY POST. Sir J. SHELLEY asked the Secretary of the Treasury what proceedings have been taken by the Post-office or the Treasury with regard to the infringment by The Athenaeum and The Builder of the Treasury Order of 1838, by which stamped publications not exceeding two ounces in weight are alone permitted to pass free through the post, The Athenceuin and The Builder having been reported to the Post-office as exceeding two ounces i❑ weight. Mr. WILSON said, since the minute in question was passed, Parliament had altered the legal size of a news paper, and the Secretary had in contemplation to in crease the weight in proportion, SCINDE. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE asked the President of the Board of Control, whether he will lay on the table of the house the report of Mr. Pringle on Scinde, in which Mr. Pringle expresses his admiration of Sir Charles Napier's government of that province, and refutes the charges brought against him in the report of the Board of Administration of the Punjaub, published in the Indian Blue Book. Sir C. WOOD said there was no report at the India House answering the description of the hon. member. BRIBERY BILL. In reply to Mr. LIDDELL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that he proposed to take the committee on the Bribery Bill on Monday next. PUBLIC REVENUE AND CONSOLIDATED FUND CHARGES BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY drew attention to the se• cond clause, which proposed to alter the time of pub lishing the annual public accounts from March to July, which he thought would prove a great inconvenience to Parliament, as the Legislature would not be in posses sion of the audited accounts until the session was draw ing to a close. slr. WILSON said, under the existing system, the Totes of the house were made for the year commencing the sth of April. and ending on the sth of April follow ing, but the public audited aocounts were made up from the Ist of January to 31st of December. The object of the clause was to make the published accounts harmonise with the votes of the house. Mr. V. SCULLY did not object to the general prin ciples of the bill, but he complained that there were cer tain classes of payments which were now thrown upon the Consolidated Fund that were intended in future to be brought into the estimates. One of them was the charge for judici:d offices in Ireland which he insisted ought to be exempted from the operation of this bill. He thought the bill ought to be reconsidered in a select committee, with a view to an amendment of the sche dule. Mr. W. WILLIAMS pressed on the Secretary of the Treasury to withdraw the clause of which notice had been given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to pro tect the salaries of existing officers. The hon. member for Warwickshire's motion was contingent on any change being made in tho schedules, and if Mr. Wilson with drew the clause. the hon. member would most probably not persevere in Ins motion. Ho would appeal to Mr. Spooner, also, not to endanger the measure by his mo tion, but to take some other opportunity of bringing ou his motion. Lord J. RUSSELL said ho thought his bon. friend (Mr. Williams) was mistaken in supposing that the mo tion of the hon. member for Warwickshire was at all contingent on the clause proposed to be introduced by his hon. friend the Secretary of the Treasury. As he understood the motion of the hen. member for Warwick shire it was this, that if the house sanctioned the prin ciple of taking sums from the consolidated fund and transferring them to the votes, then he should bring on his motion. If that was so, the clause of which his hon. friend (Mr. Wilson) had given notice did not apply to that motion. He agreed with the rest of the speech of his hon. friend (Mr. Williams), and be thought his hon. friend was right in saying that the house had always behaved with great justice and fairness to all persons who claimed to be holders for life of salaries. He did not remember a case where it was shown that there were good grounds for a person expecting a salary for life, in which the house interfered in an arbitrary manner to deprive him of it. There may have been such instances, and it might be necessary to introduce this clause, but it was not rendered necessary by the proneness of the house to deal with salaries for life in any but the fairest mail ner. The proposition of the hon. member for Warwick shire went on a very different principle. The bill went on the principle of getting accounts of all payments out of the revenue before the house ; it was an important financial measure, and though there might be difficulties in carrying it into operation, it had been much urged by gentlemen ou that side of the house, and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer (whose absence from indisposi tion he much deplored) had bestowed great care and labour on the bill. The vote to Maynooth was a totally different question of state policy, whether the vote for Maynooth should be brought forward in the yearly esti mates or placed on the consolidated fund. That was a question which had been brought before the house years ago by Sir Robert Peel, and after warm debates and great contests in that house and in the country, Parlia ment had deliberately sanctioned the grant, and declared that it should be placed on the consolidated fund, and not be made the subject of a yearly contest. If that decision was to be reversed it should be done in the same way as the matter was dealt with by Sir Robert Peel ; it should be done by a bill, thus giving the coun try time to consider the matter, and the house the op portunity of debating the question on the several stages of the bill, and of approving, if they thought fit, or re jecting it if they thought that those who agreed with Sir Robert Peel had come to a wise and right decision. He (Lord John Russell) thought that a wise and right decision, and he had supported Sir R. Peel, notwith standing the opposition to his bill which existed in the country. He believed that was a wise and sound policy and ought not to be reversed ; and he would say more, that if that decision was reversed on the motion for the , third reading of this bill, and the grant was p ut upon the I votes, it would be the duty o the Government to with draw the bill. (Hear.) It was for the house to consi der, and it was for those who were in favour of fina nc i a l reforms to consider, whether on the third reading of the bill they would adopt a motion l s) much at variance with the principles on which Par lament had acted of late years, and he would only give notice to the hon. member for Warwick shire that the carr ying of his mo tion would be fatal to the bill. (Hear.) Mr. SPOONER said if the proposal was a right one, no evil coul d result from di scussion. It was his in tention to persevere, for the Protestant feeling of the country was aroused, and would be too strong for the G o vernment to resist • and it would be compelled to give up this vote for Maynooth. _As to bringing in a bill upon the subject, it w as absurd, for he would be de feated by hon. gentleman speaking against time until s ix o'clock on WednesdaYsLet the result, therefore, be what it mi g ht , he would ' press his motion to a division ; and if the bill were a valuable one, he would leave the responsibility of withdrawing it to the noble lord. The bill was then read a third time. Mr. WILSON then brought up a clause which was understood to provide fur the production of quarterly accounts. On the clause being read a second time, Mr. HENLEY complained that the clause had not been printed, and urged that there would be some incon venience in the mode of taking the accounts proposed ; but he spoke in so low a tone that we were unable to catch the purport of his remarks. Mr. WILSON said there was no intention of altering the mode of keeping the statistical accounts ; and the only object of altering the way of keeping the financial accounts was to make them connected with the years to which they app'ied. The amounts would be published on the sth of January, so that they would be in the possession of the house at an earlier period, although the financial year would still end on the sth of April. With regard to the quarterly accounts, there would be no difficulty about them, for the accounts would still apply to the whole year, and not to those quarters of a year. The clause was then added to the bill. Mr. V. SCULLY moved as an amendments in page under c d l e i e n r t e ci e l xi t h 5. s e t e vested r ac ‘ t e s ti r l o g a f h l P I & - ----7-e-ee..--essiereeseeeleSeeee a " ro t lf.i o aan2 l n n ye s n e p r tr t ecs ‘ h l ea li hn charging Ildtt their re o si n r ot salaries o r ej ta 0 upon the consolidated fund." H av i ng already explained his views on this matter, he trusted the Secretary of the Treasury would adopt them. He suggested that the present rights of all holders of office should not be inter fered, and also that there should be no interference with the retired hold ers o f o ffi ce. Th ere were holders of office who did not hold during life or good behaviour whose interests would be seriously affected if their salaries were to come annually under the supervision of the house. Mr. WILSON said he hoped his hon. and learned friend would not persist in his amendment, but would adopt the words which had been c ar efully drawn up for the purpose of accomplishing what he believed to be the feeling of the house—that the existing holders of office should not be prejudiced by the act. The only difference between his clause and the hon. and learned member's was that the hon. and learned member left out the words " during life or good behaviour." Mr. V. SCULLY then withdrew his amendment. Mr. WILSON then moved the following proviso : " That where the salary of any office holden for life, or during good behaviour, is fixed by or under any act of Parliament, and charged on or payable out of the said consolidated fund, nothing herein contained shall, so long as the prese n t h o ld er o f s uch office continues to hold the same, effect the charge on the said consolidated fund of the salary which at the time of the passing of this act is payable in res p ec t o f suc h office ;" which was agreed to. Mr. V. SCULLY then moved to leave out from sche dule B all words, figures, and references to acts of Par liament relating to the Courts of Chancery in Ireland. Mr. WILSON said it had been much argued whether the masters of these courts were judicial officers or not. It was the principle of this bill that the salaries of all judicial officers sh ou ld b e l e ft c h arge d on th e consoli dated fund. In consequence of the great difference of opinion whether masters were judicial officers or not, they had recourse to very high legal authority, aid they were advised that masters of all the courts might be considered as judicial officers. He, therefore, proposed to make an exception in favour of the masters of these courts as well as of the masters in the Court of Chan cery. The officers in the Court of Chancery in Ireland were paid out of the consolidated fund. Those in Eng land were paid by fees. It was the intention of Go vernment to pay the officers in England from the public exoiequer, but the existing officers, those wbo were nave living, would of course be protected in the same way that this bill protected the officers in Ireland. At pre sent the officers in England were virtually paid from the consolidated fund, inasmuch as• their salaries were charged on certain fees, and, if there was a deficiency, it was to be made up from the consolidated fund. When they had provided that the ex i s ti ng o ffi cers s h ou ld i n no way be prejudiced by, the operation of this bill they had gone as far as any existing person could have a right to ask them, for surely it was within the scope of the Trea sury and of that house to consider, not only whether an office that fell vacant should be filled up at all, but, if filed up, what salary should be attached to it.. Govern ment thought that the whole of these establishments should annually be brought under the consideration of that house, in order that public opinion might from time to time be brought to harmonise with these establish ments, and that the executive government of the day might, from the discussions which would take place, know how to deal with these appointments as they arose. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that in England these officers were paid by fees, but their salaries were fixed. The English Masters in Chancery received 2,5001. a-year each, and he asked the Secretary of the Trea sury to state what was the salary of those officers in Ireland. Mr. I. BUTT said he understood from the Secretary of the Treasury that the result of the ill treatment of the Irish officers was that they were going to treat the Eng lish officers in the same way. They were now for the first time sanctioning the principle that the ministerial portion of the courts of justice should be' dependent on an annual vote of that house. The house then divided— For the amendment Against it Majority ... 111 ... 138 .. -27 Mr. V. SULLY said that division related merely to the Court of Chancery, and he would now move a simi lar amendment with regard to the courts of law, in which there might be some difference. As so many had divided in his favour, he would try his luck again. Ho moved a similar omission with regard to the officers of the Court of Queen's Bench. Mr. I. BUTT supported the motion on the ground that if the salaries of the officers of the court were de pendent on an annual vote of the house, they might, to put an extreme case, deprive the court of its officers if they were dissatisfied with any of its decisions. Lord J. RUSSELL could not think fora moment that the house would ever be inclined to deprive these officials of their salaries. Mr. MALINS agreed with Mr. Butt, that the schedule, as it stood, infringed the principle of adminis. trative justice. The salaries of those engaged in the administration of justice should not be dependent upon the caprice of the House of Commons. Mr. DRUMMOND observed that the consequence of this bill would be that they would have an annual debate upon all these salaries, while if there was one part of the country which ought to have been excluded from its operation more than another it was Ireland. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the motion Aglinct it Mr. V:SOULLY said there were two or three other amendments that he had given notice of. The taxies officers in Ireland were included in the schedule ; those is England were not. Mr. WILSON said before the hon. member proceeded, he had an amendment to move, which was, that the words "ex iepting the masters" be inserted in the sche dule after the words " Courts of Queen's Bench, Com mon Pleas, and Exchequer." The amendment was agreed to. Mr. V. SCULLY insisted that the following offices ought to be struck out of the schedule, namely :—lnsol vent Debtors' Court, Ireland ; Police Magistrates or Commissioners of Police, DuJlin ; Registrars of Judges, Ireland ; Expenses or Lodging Money of Judges, Ire. land ; and Assistant Barristers, Ireland. Mr. GEORGE argued that the taxing masters were judicial officers, and ought to be excluded. Mr. WILSON entertained a different opinion. There were no judicial functions attached - to the office of taxing master. Col. DUNNE was at a loss to understand upon what principle the exclusions had been made. Some other verbal amendments were then made in the schedule. Mr. SPOONER then rose to move the amendment o which he had given notice with regard to Maynooth. He said he did not intend to go into the religious part of the question, but although he abstained from doing so, it must be distinctly understood that his opinions upon it remained unchanged. (Hear, hear.) The vote for Maynooth ought never to have been removed from the annual estimates ; it was an unconstitutional pro ceeding nothing more nor less, indeed, than an attempt to stifle the public voice, and that was why he called upon the house to restore the vote to its original position. (Hear, hear.) There were only two classes of charges which should be allowed to remain on the consolidated fund, namely, the charge for diplomatic agents and the salaries of judicial officers, but it was argued with reference to this grant, that it was the re sult of a compact or a contract made between the minis• ter who proposed it and the Roman Catholic body. He found, however, on referring to Sir Robert Peel's speech in 1845, that there was no stipulation or contract what everever about it ; the real motive which actuated him in proposing it was a desire to concilia te those who never had been and never could be conciliated ; for n o honest Roman on could Roman Catholics, professing .the views which th ey did profess, and acting up to their professions, be conciliated or reconciled in any way until they ob tained that which they had all along being endeavouring to get, namely, supremacy for their religion instead of toleration. (Hear.) Nothing would satisfy them until they had destroyed the Established Church in Ireland, which seemed to be the first object of their inspira tions, and finally succeeded in overthrowing the con stitution by establishing the spiritual domination of the (Hear, hear.) The house must resist Pope in th a t t h i d s a country, r ing aggression, t o knowt Parliamentha tha t they h mustsou r l d e 8 t make con tented the Roman Catholics with the u n li m i ted priv il ege accor d e d t o a ll sec t s worshipping their G o d accor di ng to their cons c iences ; they should b e made to know that they must rest con tented with being put on a level with all those who did not agree with the doctrines of the Church of England, and unless that principle were maintained, the house would soon find that the Protestant spirit which had been aroused throughout the country, and which was daily and hourly increasing, would be so ex asperated that Parliament would be compelled to do by force what it bad now the opportunity of accom• plishing by quiet and peaceable means. (Hear, hear.) They could not be continually calling upon a Protestant nation to contribute towards the support of idolatry. (" Oh, oh.") Hon. members might cry "oh, oh," but they might depend upon it that was the light in which the country viewed the question ; and he called upon the house, now that they were placing almost every other charge upon the estimates, to take this opportunity of regaining a control over the Maynooth grant. (Hear, hear.) It was one of the especial duties of the house to look after the expenditure of the country, but that duty would not be fully and efficiently performed if this grant should be allowed to remain on the consolidated fund, and therefore be moved the house to add to schedule B, " the president, vice-president, and students of Maynooth College, and the expenses of the establishment, enacted by 8 and 9 Vic. c. 25." Col. NORTH seconded the motion. The question having been put, Mr. NE WDEGATE asked what special claim May nooth had to exclusion when almosHe wi every other charge was placed upon the estimates. shed to have some explanation, some reason for it, because if there was any one charge more than another which ought to be transferred from the consolidated fund it was this very Mavnooth grant. (Hear, hear.) It was proposed. by the late Sir R. Peel on the ground that the poverty of the students at Maynooth required it, but he had ascer tained since the act passed that the plea of poverty was wholly without foundation. (Hear.) In 1842 Sir F. Head, when travelling in Ireland, went to Maynooth, and he found that a large portion of the new buildings at that place were uninhabited. The whole Parliamentary grant had been expended in mere carcase building, and l ie presumed that the authorities at Maynooth ex pected another large grant in order to provide the into.. fittings. Wh a t was t h e o bj ec t o f thi s misappro ptionof the Parlia men t ar y gran t'? He believed that it w as to enable the college to take 725 students, while Parliament only intended that 520 students should be received there. All these sacrifices of principle and of capital were made in order to conciliate Ireland. But
