Petitions were presented by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY against the closing of public-houses on Sunday, from the Society for the Suppression of Vice at Rochester, and from several parties at Derby ; also, petitions.from dif ferent places in Yorkshire against Papal aggression. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented a petition from the corporation of Dumfries, against the Scotch Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill. Lord CAMPBELL presented similar petitions from Dumbarton, Dundee, and Castle-Douglas. Lord REDESDALE laid on the table the Manning the Navy Bill and the Navy Pay Bill, both of which were read a first time. The following bills were read a third time and passed: —National Assurance and Investment Association ; Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company ; Belfast Harbour ; Guild of Literature and Art. THE SEIZURE OF THE TIGER. The Earl cf MALMESBURY wished to know when the Government could confirm, or otherwise the report circulated by the newspapers to the effect that Her Majesty's ship the Tiger had been wrecked in the Black Sea near Odessa, and the whole of the crew made pri soners ? He also inquired whether it was true that Ad miral Dundas had given up to the Russian authori ties at Odessa a number of prisoners, notwithstanding these authorities had refused to say whether they would release the English sailors who were detained at Odessa? The Duke of NEWCASTLE was not able to confirm the report in any way, but so far as an opinion could be formed he should rather think it was untrue. The only information in the possession of the Government on the subject was that obtained from a telegraphic mes sage received yesterday by a mercantile house in the city, and which gave rise to the rumour in the newspapers. But as the Tiger was represented in the report as a screw steamer, while she was a paddle-wheel one, he was led to hope that, as in the case of the Amphion, this was a story of Russian fabrication. (Hear) With re gard to the second question, the facts were these :—The British ships took some 40 or 50 prisoners in the Black Sea, they chiefly belonged to Russian merchant vessels, and were in no way connected with Russian men-of-war. Admiral Dundasunder the supposition that English sailors belonging to merchant vessels were detained prisoners at Odessa, he wrote to Baron Osten Sacken, offering an exchange of prisoners, and he received a courteous reply from the Baron the same day, stating that he had no instructions to agree to such a pro posal, but he would write to Prince Paskiewitch. Up to the time of the last despatch of Admiral Dundas, no final answer had been received, and there was no reason to suppose that the report referred to was correct. As regarded prisoners which might be taken in the course of the war, definite instructions had been sent .out by the Government to Admiral Dundas respecting the conduct he was to pursue. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH deprecated the noble earl's exciting the nervousness of the public and the house by putting questions of this nature regarding the loss of a single vessel, which was a casualty that was to be expected in all wars. The Earl of MALMESBURY gave a reproof to the 'noble earl for thrusting his advice, not only upon indi vidual peers, but also upon the Government, in regard to all matters affecting the war, whether by sea or land. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he should con tinue to do what he had aways done to give such opi nions as he thought might tend to strengthen our posi tion for carrying on the war. The subject then dropped. [LEFT SITTING. j ROUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Bolton Improvement ; Bradford Corporation Water works; Great Western Railway (Stratford, &c.) ; Kings ton upon Thames Gas ; Shrewsbury and Chester Railway; Trowbridge Roads. The North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway, and the Winchester and Petersfield Road were considered, and ordered to be read a third time. PETITIONS, Petitions were presented by Mr. Gonlburn from King's College, Cambridge, praying for the establishment in that university of two additional professorships of theology ; by Mr. Cobden and other hon. members, against the opening of public-houses on Sunday • by Mr. Spooner, from Warwickshire, against the alteration of Oaths Bill ; by Mr. John Macgregor, from Glasgow, against all reli gious endowments ; by Mr. G. Berkeley, from Evesham, praying for the abolition of church-rates; by Mr. M'Cann, from the Port and Harbour Commissioners of Drogheda, praying for the most . effective Government survey of the eastern coast of Ireland, in order that a harbour of refuge be constructed in the most eligible position along that particularly dangerous coast. IRISH FAIRS. Mr. COGAN asked the Secretary for Ireland, if it is the intention of the Government to bring it, any bill for the regulation of fairs and markets in Ireland, in accordance with the suggestions of the commissioners' report. Sir J. YOUNG said a bill would shortly be laid on the table ; but it was not intended to proceed with it this session. It would partially carry out the recommendation of the commissioners. THE BLACK WARRIOR. Mr. HUTCHINS asked Lorl John Russell, whether the Government have received any correspondence from Madrid relating to the affair of the Black Warrior, and wh :ther they are prepared to place all the information from there anti from he, Majesty's Minister at Washing ton, upon the table of the house. Lord J. RUeiSELL acid their certainly had been a correspondence with Madrid on the subject, but the hon. gentleman must understand that the Government had taken no official part in the matter. The communications which had taken place were merely those which always Pass between friendly Governments when matters of this sort occur, anti he could not, therefore, say that it would I be right to lay the correspondence on the table. He could !tate, however, that the last accounts from Madrid gave 40 Pes of an amicable settlement of the dispute. (Hear.) THE ANDES. Mr. COWAN asked the Secretary to the Admiralty a question relative to the Andes which was employed to carry the First Royals to Gallipoli. He wished to know whether any accounts had been received from the officers who emb ar k e d i n this. vessel, of the treatment they received while on board. B. OSBORNE found that the A n d es , with the Fi rs t Royals on b oard, made the passage out within 15 days, and when she arrived at her des tination all were well and per fectly satisfied with the shp. a testimonial to the Captain The officers had presented towards them. for his courtesy and kindness LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. Mr. HORSFALL asked the Secretary of the Treasury if the report of the Royal Commiesio- ere on the law of partnership is printed, and when it m ay u b exPected to be 111 the hands of the members of this house'''. A r r. WILSON said a portion of the report had already been laid on the table ; the remainder would be re a d y in about a fortnight , a nd then the whole would be printed. OATHS' BILL. Mr. SPOONER observed that the second remain.. of th e Oaths' Bill stood fo r Thursda y next, and he should b e g ad to know if it was intended to go on with it o n that Lord J. RUSSELL replied, that if the financial resolu tions were not disposed of on Monday, he should prop ose an adjournment of the debate until Friday, with the view of taking the Oaths' Bill on Thursday. CHURCH RATES. Sir W. CLAY gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he should move for leave to bring in a hill for the entire abo lition of church rates. BOYS FOR THE NAVY. Mr. ALEXANDER asked the First Lord of the Ad miralty, whether the Board of Admiralty are prepared to take, as apprentices to the Royal Navy, boys from the Workhouses in Ireland. Sir J GRAHAM should be sorry to believe that boys ao situated could not rise to become most gallant and ex ssellent seamen —(hear, hear) —but he must tell the house that from friendly services the supply of volunteers was larger than the Admiralty could take, and as there was a prejudice against boys coming from workhouses, it would affect the supply from these sources if they were taken, .and therefore it had b een d eterm i ned not to take any for ltbe present. (Hear, hear.) LOSS OF THE TIGER. kk'r. HUME wished to ask the right hon. baronet a sin e stion relative to the report that one of our ships of war, saw oy, the Tiger, had unfortunAtely got aground and been taken possession of by the Russians.

LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. The Duke of ARGYLL, in moving that the house go into committee on this bill, said that great difference of opinion had existed on this subject, and it had been un der the consideration of several successive governments. Whilst on the one hand, there had been a firm determi nation to maintain the great doctrines of property, there had been on the other hand a sincere disposition not to sacrifice by any pedantic adherence to principle the claims of substantial justice. Before the select committee there had been no less than seven or eight bills, but most of them were mere duplicates one of the othe several of them having been before the house last session. Two of these bills had been brought in by the noble earl oppo site, who had paid so much attention to this subject of landlord and tenant. There had been the Landlord and Tenant Bill, the Leasing Powers Bill, and a Biil to Con solidate the Law of Landlord and Tenant. He would not go into the details of the bill now before the house, but would refer to that part whic:, had been most dis cussed—the principle of compensation. He adhered to the great fundamental principle that the arrangements between landlord and tenant ought to rest on contract —(hear, hear)—and was not prepared for any serious in vasion of that principle_ It was, however, perfectly con sistent with this principle that there should be a legal enactment to operate where there was no agreement, or where the agreement was silent. The law now was that where a tenant erected buildings they belonged to the proprietor of the soil, and until a very recent period it was not even contemplated for a landlord by agreement to overrule that rule of law, but in 1851 there was an act passed that made a very material alteration. That act extended to England and Ireland, and under it, in the event of a tenant building upon his farm, the building be came his property, and he could carry away the materials. The principle of the present Landlord and Tenant Bill was simply the re-enactment of that law of 1851, that when a tenant erected at his own expense, he might re move the property from the farm, if the building had been erected with the landlord's permission. It could not be denied that there was a very rapid change going on in Ireland in relation to the subject of landlord and tenant, and it could not be denied that there was great difficulty in dealing with this subject. He would not for a moment recommend their lordships to adopt any bill to pacify any agitation whatever. During the period of change, to which he had referred, many tenants had built buildings on their farms, and these buildings might be taken by the landlord under the pre sent law without any compensation. He thought it was their duty to ease this period of change, and under this principle the bill hest been drawn up with a certain re trospective action by extending the principle of the ex isting law, that where a tenant has erected at his own expense, the premises should remain his property, and might be removed. There were, however, several limi tations to this. The buildings must have been erected at the tenant's sole expense, and where the tenant had had a long lease, and had been to some extent compen sated by occupation for a length of time, that must be taken into consideration. As the clause originally stood, it was contemplated that a certain period of enjoyment by the tenant should exhaust his interest, and although t was true the terms were not fixed, yet the judge before whom the case should be heard would consider whether the tenant had been compensated, without any time being fixed, when the interest of the tenant should ex pire entirely. The matter, however, had been very much modified, and he would shortly state the principle upon which the retrospective clause was now framed. There was a kind of claim of the tenant, which I was absolutely barred, and others where it was limited. The cases where the claims of the tenant were absolutely barred were these. First of all, if he had erected, in pursuance of an agreement, then he was not to be com pensated, or where the tenant had been compensated by abatement or allowance of rent. Where the premises had not been erected in violation of any covenant, and where there had not been enjoyment beyond a certain time, there wool .1 be compensation. A change had been made in committee as to the period of time that should exhaust all claim, which had stood at 21 years, but the principle remained that, after a certain period of enj,,y merit, all claim should fail, The last of the causes which limited the amount of claim, but did not bar it, were these. First of a ll, where the period of enjoyment, though not fully expired, had run to some length, for instance, 19 years, that should be considered, and in that case the interest would be nearly exhausted ; and, lastly, there was a provision as to build ing, and these firmed the general princi?les upon which the law had been drawn. After the Lan lord and Tenant Bill had been settled by the corn rnittee, they came to the consideration of the Ten ants' Compensation Bill. In that there were retrospec tive clauses, but the committee having adopted one principle in the bill which they had settled could not go on to adopt another in the second bill. Tue Tenants Compensation Bill, in the first instance, included im provements in the soil as well as upon it ; but, as it came to the house, improvements in the soil were ex cluded. Provision having already been made for build ings by the committee in the bill which they had passed, there was nothing left for the Tenants Compensation Bill but the subject of roads and fences. This, it was thought, was not a matter requiring a separate bill, and thus the committee had reported in favour of the Land lord and Tenant and the Leasing Powers Bill, but against the third bill. The noble duke concluded by moving that the house resolve itself into a committee. The house then went into committee. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said his objections to the two measures had neither been removed nor dimi nished by the changes which had been made in them by the select committee. He objected to the principle upon which they were founded, because it violated every lease, contract, or agreement now in force between the land lords and tenants of Ireland. He should not, however, move their rejection ; but he trusted that if they came back from the other house with amendments, sufficient time would be given for the consideration of those amend ments by their lordships. _ _ The Earl of WICKLOW vindicated the bills, and said they were substantially the same which the Govern- went to which the noble marquis himself belonged in tended to have proposed. Lord ST. LEONARDS said the Law of Landlord and Tenant Bill was calculated to be a very useful mea sure. It was the result of a compromise, which was absolutely necessary, if the question was to be settled. H e disapproved, however, of nine-tenths of the Leasing. Powers Bill ; and amidst some applause, said there ought to be no difference, in the law relating to real property, between England and Ireland. Lord CAMPBELL and Lord BEA.IIMONT having stated objections to the Landlord and Tenant Bill, The LORD CHANCELLOR pointed out the irregu larity of discussing the principle of the two bias in coin mittee. After some observations front the Earls of CLANCARTY and DESART, the consideration of the clauses was pro ceeded with. All the clauses were agreed to without any mated:* amendment. The Leasing Powers Bill also passed through corn mittee. ------ Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS--(YESTERDAY.) OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. Mr. BLA.CKETT asked the noble lord the member for the city of London, when it was proposed to resume the committee on this bill. Lord J. RUSSELL could not fix the day until the finance resolutions had been disposed of. MONASTIC AND CONVENTUAL ESTABLISH MENTS. On the question for resuming the adjourned debate on this bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE observed that, on account of the factious opposition of certain gentlemen, it would be im possible for his hon. friend the member for Hertford satis factorily to prosecute his propose inquiry ; he, therefore, advised him to change his mode of procedure, and not to press further the nomination of the committee. He sug gested that his hon. friend should embody his views in a bill, as there would be then scone chance of limiting the the debate to the subject propose" to he dealt with, other wise there would be nothing but a succession of discursive debates and Irish rows. Mr. BRIGHT to .k the hon. member for Warwichshire severely to task for his strictures upon the conduct of the Roman Catholic party with' regard to this question The Ministry were acting in concert with the whole Roman Catholic population of these countries, and in so acting they had a right to avail themselves of all the forms of the house to prevent one Church from insulting and outraging another. The hon. member for Hertford hed introduced a bill last session lip )n this very subject ; he was not able to carry it because the house felt that no case had been made out for it. It was then thought that a committee, groping in every channel and every sewer, would find ma terials on which to base legislation ; but surely the hon. member, having once given up his bill because there was no case for it, and having a committee in order Vest he might get up a case, and having failed in his attempt to get a committee, would not be allowed to go back and bring in a bill for which he hail no grounds last session. Mr. COLLIER observed that the reason why the mino rity hail overruled the majority on this question was be cause the former was supported by the sympathy of a large portion of the Protestant members of that house, as well as by a powerful party outside, and he trusted that they had heard for the last time of a question which ought never to have been brought under the consideration of Parlia ment. Mr. FREWEN called the attention of the house to the violent language made use of by a Mr. Wharton at the late Catholic meeting held in London. The speaker threatened, if Prince Albert persevered in insulting the Catholics, to appeal for help to the Emperor of the French. Mr. T. CHAMBERS then rose to withdraw his motion. He observed that he consented not to press for the appoint ment of this committee, because the position in which the question was now placed was such, that it would be lite rally and physically impossible for him to succeed in get ting it nominated. It was not his intention, however, to abandon the question; and he wished it clearly to be un derstood that it was open for him to follow whatever course he might judge most expedient. Lord J. RUSSELL having shortly reviewed the circum stances under which the question stood, expressed his gra tification that the hon. member for Hertford had with drawn his motion, as, in the first place, no case had been made out for it ; and in the'second, because he thought it would have stirred up much religious bitterness, and much hatred and (discord between Roman Catholics and Pro testants, without any advantage or benefit whatsoever to the country. He did not perceive that any danger could arise to the country from the establishment of monasteries and convents, and therefore he was neither ready to con sent to the appointment of the committee, nor to agree to the introduction of the bill. lie believed that no legisla tion on this subject was required. After a few words from Sir J. PAgINGTON, Mr. H. DRUMMOND gave notice that he would put upon the notice paper a motion for an address to the Crown to inquire into the conventual estah ishmente. The Pope, who was the aggressor, had not ceased operations. He said, " Have this realm of England I will, and by every convent established he made a little enclosure from the Crown of England and attached it to himself; but (said the hon. gentleman) "he shall have no more inches if I can stop him." Mr. CRAUFURD announced his intention to divide the house upon the question, that the o;iginad motion be with drawn. (Oh, oh.) Mr.. V. SCULLY hoped not, for many members who might have spoken—(a laugh)—had left the house under tho impression that the motion would be withdrawn. The amendment to the original resolution was then withdrawn. On the question that the original resolution be with drawn, Mr. MALINS blamed the conduct of the Government for allowing two nights to be wasted in opposition to the name of Mr. Walpole, when it now appeared they did not object to that right hon. gentleman being on the coin mittee. If the motion h a d gone on , no doubt Government would have a lowed many other nights to be wasted in the same manner, but the country would learn from to-night's debate that the reason why legislation was impossible on this subject was simply that there w,:re a h.ely of men banded together in the house for the purpose of defeating it. Lord J. RUSSELL observed that the hen. and learned gentleman seemed to think that, having voted against the appointment of the committee, he (Lord J. Russell) should have come down to the house night after night for the purpose of inducing members opposed to the committee to withdraw their opposition. • That was expecting rather too much from him. He gave his opinion ageiust the ap pointment of the committee, and when that discussion was over he dial not think it was his duty to attend. If the discussion had gone on to-night he should have taken a similar course, he should have left the house, but as to being a party to saying that the minority should succeed against the majority he never would, and if he had been favourable to the appointment of the committee be would have sat there until three or four o'clock in the morning but it should have been carried out. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NEWDEGATE again insisted that in the face of a factious opposition there was no alternative but to with draw the motion. Lord E. HOWARD, in opposing the committee, had been actuated by no factious motives ; it was directed against his religion, an d h e was, th ere f ore, bound to resist it to the last, as hon. gentlemen opposite would have ilone had it been opposed to their faith. He repudiated the lan gunge which had been used out of doors in reference to this motion by some of his co-reli c ,eionists, but at the same time he was glad to tell the house that the language which had been complained of to-night was used against the consent of the meeting to whom it was addressed. Mr. V. SCULLY disapproved of this language, which, however, was only confined to a few individuals, and it was therefore too bad to take it as representing the senti ments of the entire catholic community. He denied that this motion was withdrawn in consequence of a factious opposition, and those who asserted that it was, were only deluding the public. After a few words from Colonel BLAIR, who saw no ad vantage in going to a division on the question, The house divided, when there appeared, For the motion Against it l-99 The announcement of this extraordinary result was re ceived with loud cheers and laughter. GAMING HOUSES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 3, Mr. KNIGHTLEY moved the omission of certain words, so as to render it obligatory on the magistrates to imprison parties concealing their names. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said. it Would be better to give the magistrate the option of fine or imprisonment. If a penalty were imposed, it would be an encouragement to the police to detect such cases. In general, the young men who went to those places were looked upon in the light of victims ; and they ought not to be punished too severely. The imposition of a tine might deter them from visiting gamin g houses again. Si nce th e bill h a d b een in troduced, out of fourteen gaming houses that were in nightly operation in the metropolis, nine had been put down. (Cheers.) Mr. A. PELLATT would support the clause as it stood ; thinking it necessary that there should be some means of rewarding the officers enga g ed in these cases . H e re j o i ce d to know th a t, by means o f the Government bill against bettin*houses, every establishment of that kind had been put down in S'uthwark. In answer to Captain SCOBELL, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the magistrates would have the option either of fining or imprisoning. If the former was found insufficient to deter parties, they might inflict imprisonment. On the suggestion of Captain SCOBELL, the penalty was altere I to 50/., and the period of imprisonment to one month. The clause as amended was agreed to, as were the re maining clauses; and the house resumed. MEIICHANT SHIPPING BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. HORSFALL said he entertained some objections to the bill, which he would point out in committee ; but he thought the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Cardwell) had made a mistake in transferring the powers of the various local marine boards, appointed under the act of 1850, to magistrates. He could bear testimony to the excellent way in which the marine board of Liverpool had worked. They had the advantage of the presence of the mayor, the stipendiary magistrate, and some other officers, and no board could be more complete. It was proposed to trans fer the power to two magistrates, who might know nothing about ships—not even the difference between a bowsprit and a mainmast. There were also deficiencies in the bill It did not re-enact the apprenticeship system, which was important. A return recently made showed that the num of apprentices in the merchant service on the Ist January, 1850, was 31,636 ; while on the , st of January last, the number had been reduced to 13,826. (Hear, hear.) This was the result of the abolition in 1830, at the request, he admitted, of the shipowners themselves, of the requirements to take apprentices in proportion to the tonnage. How was the supply of seamen for our navy to be kept up un less the fanner system were resorted to? The shipowner had now the liberty of shipping sailors of all nations ; and they now came forward, with perfect consistency, to ask for the re-enactment of the apprentice clause. A counter memorial, ho was aware, had been sent to the right honourable gentleman, but it was only signed by a minority of the shipowners. A far more important omission in the bill was that no notice was taken of the operation of 9 and 10 Vic , commonly called Lord Campbell's Act. Doubts had arisen whether that act, meant only to apply to railway accidents, did not extend to shipping • and if this was int en d e d, a c l ause t o t h at effect should have been introduced into this bill. Lord Campbell himself said that he neven meant the act to apply to shipowners, but it had been so applied by some courts ; and as the matter now stood, the wealthiest ship owner in England might be ruined in an hour. Formerly, his liability only extended to the • value of the ship and freight ; ke had no wish to evade any proper responsibility, but under the present law no prudent man would become the owner of a ship. He himself would not undertake to take out a cargo of passengers under a very high premium. He hoped the right hon. gentleman would state his inten• tion to confine the responsibility of the shipowner to the ship and the cargo. If this were not done the result would be that none but adventurers would engage in the pas senger trade, Captain SCOBELL said it would be a great benefit to consolidate in one act all the laws relating to merchant shipping. At present, by the manning clauses, a British ship might be manned entirely by foreigners. Since that act passed we had gone to war, and the value of British seamen was greatly enhanced. Not only our liberties, but our wealth and importance as a nation, depended on our keeping the supremacy of the sea; and this could only be done by keeping up the supply of sailors, at present said to be decrea , ing.. Of all the measures that had over passed, the most injurious to the efficiency of the snerchant service ansrthe navy were the repeal of the manning clauses and the removal of the regulations as to apprentices in the mer chant ships. You must have in every vessel a certain pro portion of seamen trained to the sea, or you have uo safety for the ship. The provision for a certain number of ap prentices on board every ship was therefore of the greatest importance, and he hoped the President of the Boaid of Trade would yet reconsider that matter. It was altogether a mistake to suppose that the apprenticeship reguktions and the requirements which formerly existed of manning our merchant ships with a proportion of Bridsh seamen had anything to do with free trade. He urged the justice of giving a bounty to seamen who entered the royal navy, in the same way as a bounty was allowed to recruits join ing the army and militia. Mr. W. S. LINDSAY understood the hon. member for Liverpool to say that lie would at a future stage of the bill move that it be made compulsory on shipowners to carry a certain number of apprentices, according to the size of the ship ; when that proposition was brought for ward, he, as a shipowner, should feel it his duty to op• pose it When the hon. gentleman said the shipowners of Liverpool were anxious for the re-enactment of the appren ticeship regulation, he should have confined the observa tion to the members of the Liverpool Shipowners' Associa tion. But they were not the shipowners of Liverpool, a very large number of whom, subsequent to the pre sentation of the memorial of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association, hail memorialised the President of the Board of Trade against the re-enactment of the compulsory system of apprenticeship. He could not suppose that the right hon. gentleman could have any intention of returning to that system, or that, consistently with the free trade opinions he professed, he could pro pose the re-enactment of any of those restrictions which formerly fettered the operations of the shipping interest. He had had some conversation with the right hon. gentle. man the President of the Board of Trade upon the subject of "advance notes," and had urged upon him to leave all legislation on that subject alone. There had been many attempts made to enable the sailor to obtain full vale , for those notes, but they had invariably failed. He believed the advance notes were injurious alike to the shipowner and the sailor. They were one geeat, cause of desertion, and they tended po induce habits of carelessness and extra vagance in the sailor. If the sailor, when he was paid off, knew that unless he took care of his money he would not be able to obtain the necessary outfit for another voyage, he would, without doubt, save sufficient for that purpose. He thought legislative interference was inju rious as between the shipowner and the sailor, in the same way that it would be considered injurious as between the master manufacturer and the mechanic and artisan. What he would recommend was that there should be a savings bank and a money-order office in connection with every shipping office, so that the sailor, on being paid off, might send home a portion of his money to his wife and family at once, and place another in the savings bank, suffi ciently to provide him with the necessaries for his next voya e. With regard to what hail been said by the honourable member for Liverpool, as to the spirit of the law in reference to the limitation of the responsi bility of the shipowners in the case of goods and mer chandise, he saw no reason why that responsibility should not also be limited in the case of passengers. (Hear.) He thought that in a country like this every facility should be afforded to capitalists to invest their money in ships — (hear)—but as the law now stood, capitalists had reason to dread such investment, because the responsibility was not limited to the value of the ship and freight, but extended to every penny the owner possessed ; se that the wealthiest capitalist who hell but a small portion of a ship might at any moment find himself a ruined man. He hoped the right hon. gentleman would not consent to re-enact the manning or the apprenticeship clauses—(hear, hear) —and though the law in this respect might be left as it was he could assure the hon. and gallant member for Bath that he need not be afraid that British sailors would ever be su perseded by foreigners' in our mercantile navy. (Hear.) For his own p ar t, h e h a d no d r ead of the competition of foreign sea men an y more th a n ho had of foreign ship owners. (Hear, hear.) But the best way tomaintain the supremacy of the British mercantile marine, and conse quently of the navy, was to remove all the reeteictions which yet remained, and to give free scope, as far a s practicable, to it s e nerg i e s and skill, that its resources might be fully developed. (Hear, hear.) Admiral WALCOT considered the re-enactment of the apprenticeship clause essential, in order that a enffunent body of effective and competent /MUM= msgb always kp f found available for the maritime service of the country. ; MANNING THE NAVY BILL.

It began by taking a ship f rom th e commencemen t o f Agreed to. her building, her measurement registry, and dealt with the law of ownership ; it then went with her to sea, regulated the relative duties of masters and seamen, and provided for securities being taken against accident and loss of life. It dealt with the questions of pilotage and lights, and if the bill, to which he asked the concurrence of the house, to night, for regulating the law of wrecks and salvage should be agreed to, that would be incorporated with this bill, and all these together would make a manual of the law on the subject of ;hipping. The course which he took last year was to pass measures making great changes in the law, by means of iniscellaneous bills, and this year he had ' laboured to consolidate all those bills, the details of which had been sanctioned by the opinion of the house. Great pains had been taken in that work of consolidation, anti he would take the opportunity of stating that he was greatly indebted to the judge of the Admiralty Court for his kind ness in twice going through t -is long bill, and giving him the benefit of his great experience. The hon. memoee for Liverpool had objected to the transfer of the power of dealing with masters' certificates, from the local marine boards to the justices, but the shipowners of Liverpool did not agree in that opinion of the hon. gentleman, for after con idering the clause, they had stated that it was a great relief to the marine board, but it was not only intended as a relief to the marine boards, but the object was to have inquiries into the question of the conduct of masters and the dealing with their certificates, committed to a judicial power, not to leave that duty to the merino boards, the same body which had examined an officer previously to the granting of his certificate The hon. member for Tyne mouth had suggested that facilities thereto should be given to seamen with regard to savings banks, and he had made that suggestion with r eference to the system of advance notes which he wished to be abolished. It was easy to propose to abolish advance notes, and if they contributed to habits of improvidence in the seamen it was much to be regretted. But it was very properly objected that you must not treat the sailor like a child, and not permit him to make any arrangements and contracts with hie employ ere that he chose, or put hint under greater restriction in that respect than landsmen. With regard to savings banks, he had anticipated the suggestion of the noble mem ber, and in a trill prepared last session by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject of savings banks, a clause had been introduced, giving facilities Co seamen in the case of those banks in all seaport towns; and the principle was already in operation in London and Liverpool, where the system of savings banks in connection with the Sailors' Homes was working very satisfactorily. Where ever savings banks were established in seaport towns, every facility would be given to seamen to make use of them, anti to induce them to lay by those sums of money which they received on their return from their voyages. With regard to the liability of shipowners in cases of accidents, the house ought to uut lerstand what the law now was on that point, and what the proposition was, when it was asked to create limitations of that responsibi lity with respect to shipowners. They were under no legal liability under Lord Campbell's Act to which every other subject of the Queen was not equally exposed, and there was no legal, although there was a practical, difference in their case. A shipowner was often charged with a large number of lives-perhaps of 200 or 300 passengers -under circumstances of hazard. In pint of law there was no distinction between his liability and that of ether persons, but there was this practical difficulty, that if au accident occurred at sea by the negligence of the master of a ship the owner might be liable to the whole extent of his for tune. It was not included in the changes that were sub mitted to Parliament last year, and if he had intended to originate the change he should certainly rather have pro pureed it last year in the bill altering the law than include it in a bill which professed to be a consolidation of the law. With regard to the subject of apprentices and sea men, the hon. gentleman proposed to submit a clause in committee which had received the sanction of the ship owners of Liverpool, making it compulsory on shipown ers to take a certain numb er o f apprentices in proportion to the tonnage of the ship. That subject was very touch con sidered last session, and the house was not of opinion that it was desirable to return to that or any other restrictions on shipowners. His hon. and gallant friend the member for Bath said that he (Mr. Cardwell) would have to live a long life, and be very active, if he did as much good as would remedy the evil that had been committed by taking away the restrictions from the employment of foreign sea men. Now, what had been the result? The hon. and gallant gentleman said, " Only think of the circumstances in which you are placed, and of the difficulty in manning your fleet," and he complained that they had succeeded in manning the fleet, not only without impressment, but with out a bounty, and then he said, " Only think of the ina po s hay of not having these restrictions i n a t i me of war. " He (Mr. Cardwell) should have thought that that was the best time in the world for having such restrictions, but what was the amount of harm that had been clone? The last return showed that there was then employed the largest number of British seamen that haul ever been employed in the history of this country, and the whole amount of fo reigners employed iu British foreign-going ships on the last quarter was no more than 2,499. Multioly that by 4 , anti it would give them somet hi ng less than 10,000, while th number of British seamen was no less than 190,000. Then a return had been quoted showing the number of appren tices rn9 pfuren tices had fallen off What w as th e meaning of that e Not that the number of boys hid fallen off. The number of boys had increased, but the particular limitation to serve under indentures had been taken away, anti they dill not call themselves apprentices now. He he I now gone through the list of the objections to the bill, he had the satisfaction of knowing that the bill haul the concurrence of the house, and he hoped that in the course of the present session they would allow it to pass. The bill was then read a second time. MERCHANT SHIPPING ACTS REPEAL DILL. On the order o' the Clay for the second reeding of this bill, Capt.
