The Marquis of LANSDOVirNE moved the first read ing of a bill for the repeal of the usury laws. Agreed to. The bill was ordered to be read a second time on Monday nest. POLES IN THE WAR. The Earl of HARRINGTON inquired whether the report was true that the Earl of Westmoreland had stated to the. Cabinet of Vienna that the Polish subjects of the Czar would not be allowed to follow the standard of the allies ? He could scarcely believe this possible, because the cause of the allies mainly depended upon the co-operation of Poland. Without restoring the in dependence' of the thirteen millions of people in that country a permanent peace could never be, obtained In Europe. The Earl of ABERDEEN, in the absence of the Earl of Clarendon, said he thought he might undertake to say that no instructions had been sent to Lord West nioreland to prevent Polish subjects of the Czar giving their services to the allies. As to our troops, it was a question for the commai.der-in-chief to decide whether deserters from another power should be employed in our behalf. MESSAGE FRONT THE QUEEN. The Earl of ABERDEEN brought up the following message from her Majesty, which was read by the LorJ Chancellor. VICTORIA REGINA. Her Majesty, deeming it expedient to provide for any additional expensea which may arise in consequence of the war in wbic'i her 21,tjesty is Lngaged against the I:l:,,eror Raisia, relies on the affections of the House of Lords for their concurrence in such measures as may be necessary for making provison accordinLTly. • On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN it was ordered that her Majesty's Message should be taken into consideration on M...nday next. CON VOCATION. • The Bishop of LONDON moved for copies of reports from committees of convocation of the province of Can : terbury, presented to the Convocation. The right rev. prelate took occaiion to express an earnest hope that the bishops and clergy of the Church of England might be - allowed again the privilege which was enjoyed by every other Chri-tian Church, of meeting together for synodi cal action.—Agreed to. COLONIAL CLERGY. • Lord LYTTLETON asked whether the Government intended at any future time to introduce any measure .• for the relief of the disabilities of the colonial clergy. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said unfortunately the decision upon the bill which bad been introduced on this subject into the house had been postponed for the pre .-- sent session. The attention of the Government should, however, continue to be directed to the subject, and he . hoped that next session a bill might be introduced which would be free from the objections which were urged to that measure.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) HIGHWAY RATES BILL. This bill was real a second time. SAVINGS BANKS BILL. This bill passed through committee. TOWNS IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Upon clause 5, The Earl of DESART thought that too much power was given to the commissioners, with reference to fixing the boundaries of towns. He thought that these boun daries should be set out in the London Gazette. After a few words from Earl GRANVILLE, which were totally inaudible in the gallery, The clause was agreed to. Clauses C to 24 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 25, The Earl of DESART moved the substitution of 201. for 121. as the qualification of the commissioners. Earl GRANVILLE thought 201. was too high a sum. The amendment was .withdrawn. The clause was then agreed to, as were also clauses 26 to 28. The remaining clauses of the bill were then agreed to, with some verbal amendments, and the bill passed through committee, and the house resumed. ACKNOWLEDMENT OF DEEDS BY MARRIED WOMEN. This bill went through committee. MARRIAGES (NIEXICO) BILL. This bill was likewise passed through committee. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) Theo house resumed at six o'clock. SMOKE CONSUMING BY BAKERS. Lord D. STUART begged to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, considering the pecu liar difficulties experienced by bakers in complying with the provisions of the Smoke Nuisance Prevention Act, which was passed last session, and is to come into opera tion on the Ist of August next, it was intended to grant any further time to persons engaged in that trade, and whether Government had discovered any means for the consumption of smoke in the victualling departments ? Lord PALMERSTON said the act of last session came into operation on the let of August next, and all parties interested have had full time to make inquiries and prepa rations for complying with its provisions. It however rests with the Secretary of State to determine in each case whether proceedings are to be taken against any particular individual, and my noble friend is aware that no common informer has power to proceed under the law. It is not my intention or desire to press hardly on any individuals or any body of men, but my duty is only to see that the act is bona fide put into execution. It is not for me to act as advertiser or puffer of any particular invention, and there fore I must decline to mention any particular places where, or any particular persons by whom, inventions have been successfully carried into abet, but I may say that I have been informed that an ingenious person, the proprietor of a great baking establishment, has made arrangements by means of which at a small cost he has almost completely prevented the ebUllition of smoke. There is no doubt, therefore, that the persons to whom my noble friend has referred can find similar means of prevention, and if any of them will apply to me I will tell them the name of the person who has been so successful, although, as I have said, I cannot act as an advertiser of his invention. THE RELIGIOUS CENSUS. Mr. A. PELLATT begged to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any recent inquiry had been made into the accuracy of the returns of the Registrar General, and whether, in consequence, any doubt existed as to their fairness ; also, whether there was any reason for suspecting that the Dissenting returns have been exagge rated, so that the number of attendants at the Established Church on the census Sunday have been made to appear comparatively below the truth. Lord PALMERSTON—I have made inquiries into the mai ter to which the hen. gentleman has referred, and I can say that the Government has no doubt of the accuracy of the return, as regards all the facts it states—l mean the g-encral facts —of course in a return collected in such a number of places, and from such an infinite variety of per ,,ons, there may be inaccuracies to a certain extent, but I telieve there is no inaccuracy as to the general result founded on the facts. With respect to inferences which may be drawn from the facts, there may be sonic doubts entertained, but as regards the facts generally, I hive entire confidence in the return ; and I believe that the p._Tsons employed in collecting the return performed their duty diligently and faithfully, anti took every posible pains to assure themselves that the return was as accurate as the nature of such things will permit. THE VOTE OF CREDIT. Mr. DISRAELI said the noble lord the President of the Council stated on a f.,rmer evening that he would to-day lay on the table.the estimate for the conduct of the war. It would bj convenient if it were known when and in what manner it is proposed to take the estimate, and when it will be laid on the table. Lord J. RUSSELL—I am glad that this question has been put, as my answer wilt perhaps spare some misappre hension. Her Majesty has ordered a message to be deli vered to this and the other House of Parliament on the sub ject, and I propose on Monday to ask, as i s usual in time of war, for a vote of credit. The amount of the vote will be three millions. Ido not know whether the estimate will be laid on the table to-night, but I believe it will be laid on the table to-morrow. I have, however, now stated the sum for which the vote will be asked, and I believe that will be sufficient without the papers being laid on the table. It is proposed that a sum of three millions shall be voted for the purpoies of the war. It was asked the other evening whether the vote would be taken in com mittee of ways and means, and I may say that it is not, necessary that any further vote should be taken in com mittee of ways and means, the votes to which the house has already come being sufficient. Mr. DISRAELI—WiII the message from the Crown come down on Monday, or will it be considered on Monday. Lord J. RUSSELL—No. I hope the message will come down to-morrow; but it will bo taken into consideration on Monday. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. The orders of the day were read and postponed, with the view of proceeding with the committee on the Bribery Bill. . Lord SEYMOITR asked whether these 38 orders would come on to-night ? Would they be brought on at a late hour? It would be convenient to many members to know what orders would come on and what would not. There was the committee on the Metropolitan Sewers Bill, would that come on to-night? because some explanation must be given previously to going into committee. Lord J. RUSSELL said he could not state which were coming on without going through the 39 orders. He could say that if progress was made with the Bribery Bill, at 11 o'clock he would begin to go through the other bills on the paper. Mr. DISRAELI incfuired whether it was the intention of the Government to go on with the West India Incum berecl Estates Bill, which , stood on the paper ? Sir G. GREY was understood to say that this being one of the bills which had come down from the House of Lords, it would not be disposed of at present. BRIBERY BILL. • The house then went into committee on this bill. Progress was resumed at the 34th clause. Sir F. KELLY said it had been suggested that no power was given for the payment of the election expenses of the eleCtion officer, .himself,..and other expenses he would be put to, such as advertising, &a. He proposed to provide for that by adding words to the effect, " that all reasonable expenses incurred by the election officers under the provi sions of the present act should form part of the election expenses." Mr. BE NTIIMIC thought the clause ought to define in some measure :That were "reasonable expenses." He thought 101.: was too small a sum to pay to the election officer. They wanted a better class of men than they were likely to get for, that sum ; but he thought the election oficer ought not . to be paid a per centage on all the bills he allowed, but he rather ought to be paid in an inverse ratio. __— After a few . words from Mr. VERNON, Mr. EGERTON, and Mr. V. SCULLY, the latter of whom complained of the vagueness of the clause, Mr. W. WI(4LIAMS observed that the bill had been drawn up with great care by some of the most eminent lawyers in the house, the members for Suffolk, Midhurst, and Bath, and by the Attorney -General ; and he believed with an anxiety that it should be effective for its purpose Mr. ELLIOTT suggested that the charges of the election officer should be subjected to the revision of the returning officer. _ Lord HOTHAM-thought the proposed payment-10 1 . — to the election officer by each candidate was too little, and moved that it shoukl be 100/. altogether. Mr. HENLEY said they had got beyond that part of the clause, and therefore that amendment could not now be put. He thought that any difference between the can didate and the election officer should be decided by the ordinary tribunals of the country. There was another difficulty. They had defined a candidate to be, not a man who was proposed on the d a y o f n omination, but a man who offered himself at any time before the election. A man of straw might offer himself who was totally unable to pay the 101., and What were they to do in a case of that kind ? Were the other candidates to pay for him ? Mr. GOULI3URN observed that any two gentlemen be- - - longing to a county or a borough might put up a gentleman without his knowledge or c o ncurrence, and as the clau se stood he would . be compe ll e d t o pay 101. to the election officer. ... _ VERNON said, a gentleman canvassed a borough, 8-.37 for two days, and then finding he had no chance went awa y, was he to pay the election officer 101., who would have nothing w.hatever.to do for him. Mr. V. SCULLY said if the definition of a candidate stood as at present; such a person would undoubtedly have to paylhe 10/. - He did not think the expenses of the election officer should be revised by the returning officer, as in that case those two officers would be revising one another's expenses, nog did he think that the candidate should be obliged to resort to the ordinary tribunals, be cause the candidate would be in the no., er of the election officer. The proper and only fit man to decide this ques tion of election expenses was the county court judge in England and the assistant barrister in Ireland, but there appealed to be stupid prejudice in the way of the adoption of that suggestion. _ _ _ Mr. L. — HEYWORTH contended that the expense of this officer ought to be borne by the state. It was too hard to call upon the candidate to pay who volunteered his services and devoted his time gratuitously to the service of the country. He would propose, therefore, that the ex penses of this officer should be defrayed by the borough or county rate, as the case might be. - After sbale further discussion tho committee divided on the question that the proposed words be added to the clause, when there appeared— __ For the addition B3 Against it • Majority —32 The worda were accordingly added to the clause. The committee again divided ou the question that clause 34, as amended, should stand part of the bill, when there appeared— For the clause Against it iTijority: , The clause was accordingly added to the bill Clang,)-35, providing the short title of the bill, was agreed to without any discussion. Clause 33, the interpretation clause, led to some slight discussioh'aS to what should constitute a candidate, with power to set the machinery of the election officer in -56 motion. - f - Mr. IiLLbY . A.RD siaggested the insertion of words pro- I viding that all persons announcing themselves candidates after the taste of the writ should have that power. Sir F. KELLY preferred the words as they were. Mr. CAYL EY suggested that no person should be ad mitted as a can lidate unless he had given two days' notice in boroughs, and four days' notice in the counties to the re turning officer. The object of the bill was to lessen the expenses, and it was notorious that the costliness of elec tions was caused principally by preparing for a sudden contingency. Mr. E. DENISON was afraid the proposal would only lead to more contested elections, and to yet greater expenso. An HON. MEMBER reminded the committee that the proposal would also curtail the privileges of the electors, any one of whom had the right of proposing anybody he pleased at the time of the nomination. (Hear.) These suggestions were not persisted in. Sir F. KELLY then proposed some verbal alterations in the definition of " personal expenses," so as to make them include all "reasonable" travelling and hotel expenses. Mr. PERCY wished to know whether the expenses of chairing could be considered as per sona l expenses. ( H ear.) Sir F. KELLY said they could certainly not, nor did be see how they could be regarded as legal expenses at all. He thought that chairing ought to be prohibited alto gether. (Hear.) He could speak feelingly, for he had on two occasions sums to pay on this account so enormous that if he were to mention them he should hardly be credited. (Hear, hear.) The clause, together with the schedules, was agreed to. Lord R. GROSVENOR then brought up two new clauses, rendering the giving or receiving of travelling ex penses, or refreshment tickets, a misdemeanour, punish able in the one case by a fine of 501., and in the other by one of 40s. His object was to put an end to a vicious sys tem which the act, though it would check it, would not as it stood entirely put down. The expenses of the last Middlesex election had been no less than 30,0001., and where sums so largo were expended, it was impossible not to suspect the presence of much unfair and improper in fluence. Mr. J. BALL said that some of the expenses referred to in the first clause were legal, and others as clearly illegal. Mr. L. HEYWORTH was in favour of the principle of every voter paying his own expenses. Some few might be prevented from voting on this ground, but the way to re medy that would he to give universal suffrage. Mr. ELLIOT thought that in Scotland there would be great difficulty in bringing voters to the poll—a distance of perhaps 15 or 20 miles—without an allowance for tra velling expenses. Sir F. KELLY said the operation of the clause would be most severe and oppressive. It would render absolutely ille gal the smallest assistance rendered by any person in bring ing a voter to the poll. They had the high authority of Lord Lyndhurst that reasonable travelling expenses and refreshments for voters coming from a distance were not illegal, either by the common or statute law. On the other hand, the Attorney-General had given it as his opinion that both these classes of expenditure were ab solutely illegal. Hence the necessity of settling what really was the law. (Hear, hear,) At present any expendi ture, however small, might be made the subject of a peti ' tion, and brought before a committee; and if the members of that committee held with the Attorney-General, the sit ting member would be unseated. Another committee next door might decide, on the authority of Lord Lyndhurst, that the election was a good one. (Hear.) He sincerely hoped that the house would settle this question. (Cheers.) Mr. COBDEN said he had watched with much interest the proceedings of the hon. and learned gentleman in his somewhat novel character of reformer and purifier of our election proceedings ; but he should be sorry if the house was induced to affirm the proposition he had now laid down, and should deeply regret, in the interests of election mo rality, that he had ever touched the question at all. (Hear.) If they attempted to legislate with no better definition than reasonable and unreasonable expenses, they would be open ing a door to every conceivable excess and corruption on the day of electiou. (Hear.) What was reasonable for one man, who could carry off two bottles of port wine without being the least excited, would be very unreasonable for an other weak-headed man, who would be rolled in the dust by half a bottle. (Laughter.) And how would an election committee decide what was reasonable for a thirsty man, and for one who had not the least appetite for drink ? To legalise this definition of reasonable and unreasonable would do more harm than if they never touched the question at all. He was confident the bill would never pass with a clause affirming the legality of giving reasonable refresh ment on the polling-day. He was quite of opinion that the question should be settled, but he hoped that if candi dates were allowed to pay for carriages and refreshments, the bill would never be permitted to pass that house. Sir J. WALSH concurred with the hon. member in thinking that the law on the subject should be settled. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL admitted that it was a subject for regret that the decisions of courts of law and of that house were conflicting on the subject of treating. In his opinion he believed that payments for refreshments were within the Treating Act. With regal d to the ques tion of conveyances for bringing voters to the poll, no one would be more satisfied than himself with a declaration of that house, that in boroughs such a step was illegal. Mr. WALPOLE said, supposing there was no corrupt motive, he could not see aoy reason why a candidate should not, out of gratitude to a voter who had given him his vote, pay those travelling expenses which that voter could not afford. (Hear, hear.) He would beg the com mittee to bear in mind that he was supposing no corrupt motive existed. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the ques tion of refreshment, he thought that if some limit—say, . for instance, no sum above 2s. per voter—were instituted, there would be no objection to refreshment being alto red. Lord J. RUSSELL agreed with hon. gentlemen that it was a very reasonable opinion which seemed to prevail in the committee that, as they were now framing a law on this subject, candidates and the country generally should be informed whether the expenses of travelling and re freshment were legal 'or illegal. Upon considering this question his hon. and learned friend the Attorney-General appeared to be of opinion that bona fide travelling expenses were not illegal, but that payment for refreshment came within the Treating Act. Ile (Lord J. Russell) thought that opinion at least expressed what the law ought to be. (Hear, hear.) There appeared to him to be a wide difference between travelling and refreshment expenses. A poor man, living some miles from a polling place, might very well say, and he would be justi fied in saying, "I cannot put such a value on my franchise that I can afford, not only to lose my time, but to expend my money also." He thought in such a case it was not desirable to declare that candidates should not be at liberty to pay the travelling expenses, and he therefore could not give his assent to the vote before the committee. But the expenses of refreshment stood on a very different footing. That was an expense which the voter would haveto defray if he stopped at home, and meeting with his neighbours at the election, by joining with them, he need not be put to any extra expense on account of refreshment. He (Lord J. Russell) could not agree with the view of the right hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Walpole), who seemed to think that by limiting the amount to be paid for refreshment to a small sum, such as 25., all difficulty would be got over. In many Cases it had therefore been the practice not to make any payment at all—(hear)—but if a sum up to which a candidate might go were named in an act of Parliament, then every voter, who had on former occasions never looked for a farthing, would consider himself entitled to a pay ment of 2s. (Hear.) It would be looked upou not as a question of the candidate's generosity, but of the voter's right. This he (Lord J. Russell) thought would be an un wise alteration in the existing rule ; at the same time he thought the law as to refreshment ought to be made more clear, and he should have no objection to making it clearer by a declaration that payments for refreshments came within the provision of the act against illegal treating. Mr. W. A. WILKINSON suid, the only ground on which an allowance to voters could be defended was, that without that a number of voters' would be disfranchised ; but the true remedy was to increase the number of polling booths. After a few words from several hon. members, The committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it Majority The clause was accordingly rejected Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the committo would consent to take the remaining new clauses on the report. (No, no.) They had thirty-eight orders of the day yet todis pose of, and as many of these orders related to bills of pressing importance he trusted the committee would accede to his proposal. (No, no.) Well, then, if the committ ee would not they had better go on with the bill. (Hear.) Mr. STANHOPE moved the insertion of a clause lega sing the issue of refreshment tickets, not exceeding the value of 2s. eaob, to the voters at elections. Mr. MICHELL said that there was a member of the Government who he understood gave a public breakfast, as it was called—but which was in reality IL dinner—at every election. The committee then divided, and the numbers were— For the clause 1'26 Agaisnst it 142-16 Lord J. RUSSELL said that there were some clauses yet to be considered, and some propositions to be made on the report. He proposed that those clauses be proposed in committee, and that the gentlemen who were charged with them should postpone them until the report, and allow the bill to be reported now, and take, ' to-morrow (this day), at 12 o'clock. ••• - 104 , • ' After a few words from Mr. IRTON J which were inaudible in the gallery, Lord J. RUSSELL remarked, that if the bill were to be reported, the house would order it to be reprinted. Mr. KNIGHTLEY moved that the chairman do report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Lord A. VANE said he had a very important clause in trusted to him, and he thought that the best course to be adopted, was that the chairman should report progress, and ask leave to sit again. They had been sitting since 12 o'clock at noon, and it was very hard upon hon. mem bers that they should be kept for so long a time upon this bill. He should second the motion. Mr. V. SMITH remarked that, in the course of the dis • cussion upon the last clause, it had been said that it was absolutely necessary to settle this question. Some voted for and some against the clause, but everybody said it must be settled, and he should like to know whether any hon. gentleman had any clause which was to settle it. It was not settled whether travelling expenses were legal or not; and it was necessary to bring forward some clause. Sir F. KELLY said there was a clause which had been printed these three days, which was calculated entirely to settle the question, and if they now reported the bill, the clause would be brought forward upon the report. Lord J. RUSSELL thought it impossible for him to propose a clause upon the matter, not knowing whether the house would allow travelling expenses or refreshments; but as soon as the house came to a decision, he should be ready to propose a clause. He wished to go on with the bill, soas to be able to send it up in conformity with the resolntionof the House of Lords. The bill might be taken again on Saturday. Mr. NEWDEGATE wished, as the clause had been very I much altered, that the hill should be reprinted. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL wished to know whether it would be reprinte I until it had bean reported upon. The CHAIRMAN said that until the bill had been re , ported, it could not be reprinted. Mr. WALPOLE thought that the object of the hon. member would be best attained by allowing the bill to be now reported, because it could not be reprinted until it had been reported. Lord J. RUSSELL said if the bill should not be re printed by that time; he would not propose to consider it tomorrow at 12 o'clock. Lord GALWAY understood that the bill could not be reprinted until it had been reported; but how was it that the Oxford Bill had been reprinted four or five times ? Mr. BRIGHT said he understood that bills must be sent up to the other house by the 25th instant, in confor mity with an order made by that house Lord SEYMOUR inquired when the third reading was to take place ? Lord J. RUSSELL proposed that it should be taken at twelve o'clock on Monday. (Oh, oh.) After the 25th July, the Lords would not take any bill sent up. H e must s.ty there was some ground for this resolution of the - Lords--not to read any b'.ll a second time after the 25th July—in the practice -svhich.find • prevailed for some year past, of sending up a large number of bills to the House of Lords not merely in July but late in the month of August, when it was difficult for that house to give to them that consideration which was necessary. At the saute time, he should not expect that the House of Lords would capri ciously reject any measure of great importance because it came up to them somewhat later than the period they had fixed upon for reading public bills a second time. This was a bill of considerable urgency, inasmuch as there were several boroughs the writs for which were suspended, and had been so for some time, and he, for one, could not con sent to the issue of those writs unless some such bill was passed in the first instance. (Hear, hear.) It would, of course, be a question for the H use of Lords if this bill were sent up late in the next week, whether they would read it a second time or not but those members of that house who might wish to oppose the bill, and permit any correction of the system of bribery which prevailed at elections, might very well appeal to the resolution of the Lords against proceeding with the measure during the pre sent session. (Hear.) No did not want to have that ob stacle thrown in the way, and the hon. member for Man chester would see, therefore, the reas on w h y h e was anxious to push it fo r w a rd through its present stage that night. (Hear, hear ) He (lid not propose to consider any of these additional clauses now, for he admitted they had sat long enough to-day on the bill, but he proposed to con sider them to morrow. Lord A. VANE, after the explanation the noble lord had given, would withdraw his motion for reporting pro gress. (Cries of " No, no" and Divide.") After some conversation, Lord J. RUSSELL proposed to go on with the bill to morrow (this day) at six o'clock. Mr. COBBOLD inquired whether it was intended to re commit the bill. Lord J. RUSSELL did not see that it was necessary. The motion, after some slight opposition, was with drawn, and the bill pa sse d th roug h comm i ttee, and, the house having resumed, was reported. HIGHWAYS PUBLIC HEALTH ACT BILL. Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved the second reading o, this bill, and was proceeding to state its objects, but the impatience of the house exhibited an incessant interrup tion, and cries of " move, move," prevented him from proceeding, except to state that the bill provided an in demnity to highway boards, and the bill was then read a second time. The Stock in Trade Bill, the Enclosure of Lands Bill, and the Commons, &c. Rights of Ordnance Bill, were then read a second time. The Admiralty Court Bill was read a second time. The order for the second reading of the National Gallery (Dublin) was discharged. BURIALS BEYOND THE METROPOLIS BILL. The house went into committee in this bill. Some discussion arose with regard to the powers to be taken by the bill, in the course of which Mr. A. PELLATT and Mr. HADFIELD urged that it would interfere with the rights of property in some burial grounds, without any compensation being given to the owners. Lord PALMERSTON explained that, although most of the parishes which came under the act of last year for closing burial grounds had been active in complying with it, yet some others had not been so prompt in doing so, and as there was a difficulty by the present law in dealing with them, the present bill was necessary. It was not a general amendment of the act of last session, but only ap plied to particular places, and placed them in the same position as burial grounds in general were placed by the recent act of last year. The bill then passed through committee. INDIAN APPOINTMENTS, &c. BILL: This bill passed through committee without observation. SPIRITS (IRELAND) BILL. In committee on this bill, after several verbal amend merits, Sir R. FERGUSON moved the omission from clause 3 of the words, " or had been illegally consumed on such pre mises at any time within two months preceding such al leged offence." Sir J. YOUNG insisted on retaining the words. The evil intended to be provided against would require the most stringent measures, and the clause as it stood could ❑ot possibly give rise to any grievance. After a few - words from Air. CAIRN 3 in support of the amendment, The committee divided on the question that the words be retained— Ayes Noes The clause was then agreed to; as was also the re mainder of the bill. STAMP DUTIES BILL. On the consideration of this bill as amended, Mr. G. HAMILTON moved the following clause : " That all matriculations, degrees, and certificates of de grees granted by the University of Dublin shall be, and the same are hereby exempted, from all stamp duty." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, opposed the motion—as ill-timed, irregular, and a piece of piece meal legislation. The question of degrees ought to be dealt with as a whole, and favouritism should not be shown to one particular university. Not. only the univer sities, but the inns of court, and the colleges of physicians and surgeons, were all liable to this tax on degrees. Mr. NAPIER advocated th. , claim of the University of Dublin to relief, on the ground of its comparative poverty. After a short conversation, the debate was adjourned. CONVICT PRISONS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE BILL. On the order for the third reading of this bill, Mr. FREWEN moved a clause prohibiting the erection of turnpike gates within certain specified distances. The object was to correct an abuse in the Sussex Turnpike Trusts, there being in that county, in one case, nine turn pike gates within a distance of two miles and a quarter. Mr. FITZROY opposed the clause, it being inexpedient to insert a clause for a local purpose in a general bill. The clause was negatived without a division, and the bill was read a third time and passed. BENEFICES AUGMENTATION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, which was reported without amendments. BOROUGH RATES BILL. This bill, with some verbal amendments, passed through committee. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES ACTS CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was read a second time. JURY TRIALS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. SALE OF BEER BILL. On the order for the committee on this bill, Mr. A. PELLATT proposed an alteration in tho hours during which trade was to be permitted to be carried on on Sundays. Mr. BRADY opposed the bill, on the ground that its provisions were not known to the trade generally. He moved that the bill bo read a second time that day three months. The amendment not being seconded was lost, and the house went iuto committee. The several clauses were agreed to, and the bill reported ,o the house. RETURNING OFFICERS BILL. This bill went through committee without discussion, REAL ESTATES CHARGES BILL. This bill was read a third time. On iii;C i tiestion that the bill do pass, Mr. HENLEY moved the omission of the second clause. The house divided— For the clause For the amendment.. Majority Tho bill was read a third time and passed. DUBLIN CARRIAGES BILL. The Lords' amen linents to this bill were agreed to. REFORMATORY SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL The bill went through committee. MEDICAL GRADUATES (UNIVERSITY OF LON- O) BILL On the order for the D third reading of this bill, Lord D. STUART took the opportunity, as this was a medical bill, of noticing the very bad smell that pervaded the house. He feared that. if it was not remedied, the medical graduates of the university must all be called in to prescriee for the members. The bill was then read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at three o'clock. .............. 69 . 22 -47 COAL IN RUSSIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Perceiving in the Times of this day an extract from the Moniteur, in which it is asserted, on the audio rity of a letter from Leipsic, that I " had not hesitated to declare that the discovery of a cod mine in Russia was im possible," I hasten to contradict this very erroneous state ment, and to explain, with your permission, my views on this subject. _ _ In 1810-1, after my first journey in Russia, I pointed out the simple but important fact, that throughout the Baltic provinces and extensive northern tracts the for mations which were at or near the surface were of remoter antiquity than the great coal-bearing strata, and that, not containing any tracos of fossil vegetobles out of which coal could have been produced, it was quite impossible to obtain the mineral by sinking shafts in that region. At the same time, assisted by my French colleague, M. de Ver. neuil, and aided by the Imperial mining engineers, Colo nel Helmersen and Count Keyserling, I indicated the po sition and nature of two or three thin seams of ill-con solidated impure coal which aro visible, at intervals, in the lowest member of the carboniferous rocks, both in the Valdai Hills and near Tula ,and Kaluga. A sectional view of one of these examples, as occurring in the Valdai Hills, about 125 verts to the south of St. Petersburg, which was given in the large work and has recently bee n re producedin m y m colleagues a yv , , , orkeiit n i d tle se d lf hiluria (page 328), is, I sus pect, the " coal mine" spoken of as having been lately dis covered near the capital—though its existence has long been a matter of notoriety. Tracing these slightly carbonaceous strata to the great Lake Onega, my companions and myself indicated how such strata there thinned out into mere bituminous shale, and how all traces of them disappeared before we reached the banks of the great river Dwina and the shores of the White Sea near Archangel. But even then I adverted to a productive coalfield in the country to the north of the Sea of Azof, or about 500 verts to the south of Moscow. Researches pursued in subsequent years (1841 to 1844 in. elusive) confirmed my views and extended my inference respecting the absence of any coal worthy of national atten tion over other regions larger than Franco and the British Isles united, whether as subtending the Ural Mountains or in the territories of Orenburg, Kazan, and Astracan. This opinion was unreservedly expressed at the time to the Im perial Government, and, on my return home, to my asso ciates in science. The southern coalfield, however, or that which is watered by the RiverDonetz, was again specially ex cepted, and a description of its peculiar phenomena and the disturbed condition of its strata, the result of a per sonal survey with M. de Yemeni', was given in the work entitled "Russia and the Ural Mountains," accompanied by some speculations of my own on the ulterior prospects of that mineral tract. The statist and miner who wish to obtain accurate detailed knowledge respecting this coal field, most of the beds of which are anthracitic, must con• suit an excellent memoir thereon by my friend M. Le Play, an eminent French mining engineer, who explored that portion of the south of Russia for M. Anatole Demitloff. In conclusion, I may be permitted to state, that during my journeys in Russia I invariably met with the kindest reception and truest hospitality among all classes of the inhabitants, with whom the name of English man was, indeed, everywhere a passport; while the Em peror was pleased to confer honours for the gratuitous services of an English and a French geolog,ist, wire, in searching after truth, were bound to announce facts which could not have been palatable, respecting the absence of coal in such Law portions of the empire.- I remain, Sir, your story obedient servant, • - ItODERICK I.
