The course which the Go vernment_ propo se d to take with respect to the muni .cipal and cou n ty f ranchise in Ireland was this. They hed found som e di squalifications existing in Ireland, .w Inch they proposed to remove. In Great Britain occupation. was, not required as a necessary condition .. ef voting as the case in freehold- franchise. In -Ire land it was required. They - proposed to remove the ;restriction in.lreland, and to place the 10/. freehold franchise as to occupation on the same footing as in Great Brit a i n. In Ireland they did not permit joint t enatits to exercise the right of voting ; they did per- Tit .thein - to .do so in England. Again the Government propo se d to remove that dispar i ty. Government : did not . p ropose to ta k e away any existing right, but to continue for the period of eight . y ears , every such - right, without any other question than the continuance of the same qualifica tion, , But they proposed to make concurrently. with -theseichanges a very - great increase of the franchise; and he cit e d these two concurrent enactments, 'viz., the .protection or every existing right, - and the con ferring Of a suspended right, as a proof that the mea sure was conceived in the.spirit of fairness. It had heel, constantly alleged that there was a great dis parity between the municipal franchise in England and in Ireland. They had availed themsel ves o f th e first opportunity of placing the municipal franchise in Ireland on the same footing on which it existed in • Engla n d, , They gave An alternatiie f ranc hi se i n Ire land, either occupation amounting to 10/., or - the holding 'of a tenement subject to the - payment of the rates. •- So :far 'as the municipal franchise was concerned it would stand upon the same footing, as it • did in England.—(Hear.) Great complaints had been made. as. to the .restrictions upon the right of voting. They proposed in future to prevent the voter being dispialified,. on account of . the difficulty under which, he now lay of proving the payment of every. rate. Th a t w a s t h e - general effect of the mea sure which the Government proposed- • They were quite•aware that there was a tendency in Ireland to restrict the franchise; on account a the operation of natura r eauSes, and that legi s l a ti ve enactments would probably have the same effect. - They provided, how :ever, a substitute which would make ample compen sation for the operation of both these causes, and -which Would fulfil the expectations •which - the people of Irelandhad a right to form on - this subject. As the Noble Lord had justly said, the subject was one of ex treme a: , -ufficulty, With respect to leases, he thought that if they made the franchise dependent on the holders °f a lease, the power of , the landlord to restrict its exercise would be - almost indefinitely extended ; he ventured to' say, that in a short time, the franchise would he reduced. to a degree which no one could desir e to see. They proposed, that the man who was rated- l e, -. a given amount should -have the right of voting ; .. They now fropOsed, for the first time, a 51. franchisolir fee. On this subject, he must observe, that some of the worst description: of voters had been those who voted under a 40s. franchise in fee; and . the- J had selected a 51 franchise as -insuring a more indep en d ent class than it was possible to get with. the smaller amounts.--(Hear.) He would not enter into the details of this measure, which was brought forward to fulfil the declaratithis made on the part of . her Majesty's Government. —(Hear, hear.)

Members on that side of the House. With regard to the right of voting derivable. fraiu 'freeholds, he - entirely -concurred with the observations which had been made on both sides of the House.- He thought the great point was to es t tblish proprietorship, for a small proprietor was very often more independent than a large leaseholder. He regretted that the amount had not been fixed at a lower value than 51. He believed that if the Govetn- ment had adopted the 40s. freehold it would not have been abused now as it forinerly was. Ile hoped the Noble Lord therefore would. see the propriety of lowering the qualification. With regard to the muni cipal improvements which the Noble Lord suggested, he (Mr Wyse) was glad the Noble Lord recognised the same necessity for an extension of the franchise in towns as in the case of counties. He (Mr. Wyse) repeated that he was glad that this Bill had-been in troduced as it had elicited from the Right Hon. Baronet and th? Noble Lord, the expression of prin ciples which he hoped the Government would be pre pared to carry fully into operation. Sir R. PEEL said there were one or two points which he wished to explain. He had said that in some towns in Ireland it was impossible to apply the English principle, namely, to give the right of the municipal franchise after occupation for two years, and the payment of all rates and taxes. He had since been informed that it was possible to apply this prin ciple to all the towns 'in Ireland, and therefore he proposed to substitute that provision at once. The Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) had expressed an ap prehension that the assin'iilation of the stamp duties would 'have' . the effect of increasing the charges of conveyance. .Now, the reverse was the fact. Before the assimilation of the duties, the stamp duty on a conveyance of property- trp - tcr - the value of 1001. was 11., but now it was reduced to 10s. - -Lord ELIOT did not mean' to discuss - at any length the occupation clause, but he would just allude to an observation which had fallen from the Noble Lord respecting it. The Noble Lord said that in point of fact it was a Chandos clause. This was not so, for by the Chatidos clause the qualification, con sisted of the payment of a certain amount of rent to the landlord, while the proposed occupation clause in the present Bill made the qualification to depend upon the tenant being rated to the poor. He did not think that the lion. Member for Kerry had answered the question of his Right Hon. Friend. His Right Hon. Priend said, "If-you -do not admit a qualification by, this description how are you to provide sufficient con stituencies in the Irish counties ?" The qualification - proposed he (Lord Eliot) believed, so far from strengthening the disinclination on the part of land lords to grant leases, would have a directly contrary effect. He believed that the present disinclination to grant leases arose from a disinclination to give poli tical power to those who were disposed to use it against the landlords. He believed that the proposed qualification would operate irrespective of the grant ing of leases, which would be granted on the probability of their being as conducive to improvement in the cultivation of the soil.: He would make one observation as to the manner of claiming to be registered. The Bill proposed that the person claiming should merely send his name to the baronial constable, to be placed in the list ; it would then be sent to the clerk of the peace, by whom , it would be transmitted to the revising barrister, and the party claiming would not be called upon to ap pear unless he should be objected to. This was pre cisely the same as the law stood in England. The Honourable Member for Montrose had asked whether this Bill would satisfy the people of Ireland ? He asked if the constituencies had been established in just proportion to the population ? Why this principle had never been admitted by any statesman. The' principle always acted upon had been to take property and population, and combine them together. He be lieved that the Hon.- Gentleman would find that the franchise was wider, and upon a more extended basis, than it was either in Scotland or in England. The short coinings arose out of the different distribu tion of property. To give the same . proportion to the population in Ireland as in England, they must admit every 5/. rate-payer in the country to the franchise,, quite irrespective of any tenure whatsoever. The Noble Lord had asked what would have been the effect of the Bill of last session, with regard to , the rating of persons under 8/. in large towns, and under 41. in small ones? His (Lord Eliot's) answer was, that by the 33d• section of the 3d and 4th of Victoria, an occupier might claim to be rated whether he was liable or not. The Act of last session did not in any way affect or take away that right. With re-, gard to the observations of the Hon. Member for Kerry as to the oaths to be administered, he had only to state that there would be but one oath to be taken,, and two queries, would be put, namely, " Are you the same person ? Have you already voted ?" • ' .31r.•11.- J. O'CONNELL thought it would be better to administer the general oath, that true an swers should be made to all questions, and then any questions could be put. He thought this would save, time. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill, and Lord Eliok-the Irish Attorney-General, and Sir James Graham were ordered to bring it in. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND). Lord ELlOT:then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend that part of the Act passed in the 3d and 4th year of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled,. "An Act for the regulation of Municipal Corporations in Ireland," which relates to the qualification of bur gesses and of voters at elections held under the said Act. Mr. SHAW thought that was an excellent oppor thnity of introducing. uniformity with respect to the boundaries of municipal corporations in Ireland. This would have the effect of increasing the county con stituencies. The city of Cork occupied a space of four square miles, while the municipal district occupied a space of seven miles. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. PRIVY COUNCIL BILL. - _ On the Order of the Day being put for going into a Committee of Supply. .Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, in pursuance of the rootion , of.-which he had given notice the other night,. he . wisjied. to put a question to the Right Hon. - Baroicet7with respect to a Bill now in - progress in the, other: House of Parliament. It would at a future period, •be brought before this house, - when he would 'have another opportunity Of speaking, When. his Noble and _Learned Colleague (Lord Cottenham) was in office, he had expressed his opinion that it was not desirable that two additional judges should b e a pp o i n t e d, i although he - (Lord J. Russell) knew that another Chancellor, con-, nected with a differ en t G overnment, m i ght think those, appointments necessary. With respect to all .the judicial; establishments of the country, especially that part Which was connected with the A Privy Council, it might be ex-; pedient that the Crowe should originate such establish-; .ment, and make particular appointments, and. then state to Parliament what the additions were. The Bill to which he had alluded had been brought into the other House on. the 4th -of March,- by which a new. judge was to be appointed_ with a salary of 2,0091. There were already two with sal ar i es o f 1 , 500 / . 'and 1,2001.. respectiv e ly. On - the .15th of March, the Bill was referred to a Committee, and from that period up to the present they had heard nothing of it. Now, what he feared Was, that in the present complicated state of the Parlianientary business the Bill would not be brought to this House until near the close of the session, when it could not receive that-attention which it demanded. He wanted to call the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to an - extraordinary statement which had been made. It was stated that a very eminent-per son was to be placed at the head of the Judicial Com - mittee of the Privy Council. as Judge.—(Hear, hear.) It was within the diScretion of Government, he was per fectly aware, to make up their, minds with xespeet to this appointment, or that such a Bill should be intro duced ; but hethought it seemed an extraordinarycourse —not .to say At suspicious one—to admit - that .any individual, however eminent, should be named to an appointment before the office had been . created, and at-a time when . the Government might forego' their intention of creating it. If the Government' thought fit that there should be such an appointment, surely it was right that they should state their reasons. The whole question depended on whether any one individual was ready, or had engaged to accept this office. Now here was the Bill introduced, and likely, to be brought down to this House at a late period of the session, and incon sequence he wished to ask -the Right Hon. Gentleman whether it was the intention of her IVlajesty's Govern ment to bring the Bill before the House at an early - period, and whether there was any foundation for the statement to which he had alluded? • . ' H.PEEL, who spoke in a Very low tone of voice, said he thought the Noble Lord would agree that he (Sir R. Peel) was entitled to exercise his unfettered dis cretion in the matter. , Ile could assure the Noble _L or d that the- Bill would: be brought before this House 'as soon as • it was ' possible. in -Accordance with the ,due course of business. Hi; did not concur in the opinion of the Noble Lord 'opposite, that • the_ Noble and Learned Lord (Cottenham) was opposed last year to the appointment of a jUige to pre side in the Privy Ceuneil. With respect to the state ment concerning which the Noble Lord put the other _question,. he should say, it was the impression of the Government that the Crown had the power of creating -such an office, and under this impression it had been _offered :to. a Noble and Learned Lord in the other -House, but he declined-to accept it, stating at the same time that he did not consider at that moment that such an-office was required. The Bill had been brought into the other house-independent of the _Government by the Noble' arid Learned Lord. Mr. R. YORT. ?retested strongly against this Bill, and Whenever it iould come before this house, he wiaild use every means which the forms of the House allowed to oppose it. SUPPLY. The House then went into a Committee of Supply. Sir G.•CLERIC rose to move the civil contingencies and•miscellaneous estimates. He felt glad to be able to assure the House' that a considerable reduction would be made in the grant this year from what it had been last year. For the last year, the sum reqUircd was 130,0001., while for the present, he should Only move for :100,000/. for the payment of the civil contingencies.. S protested against the enormous sums 4 hiC4 w e re voted annually to defray the _expenses Of ArobasStaaors. at Egeigneo urts.: Alma WitS Itcoltarge: of 4,1451 for the expenses of the embassy to llanover. THEQSVN, 4-49 1 PON, TITESDAYaTTENING, APRIL 2, 1844. Lord STANLEY—Yes, she was at Spithead or Ply mouth.. Now; the Passage-money - to which - Sir Robert Wilson was .entitled for going ouD was 200 L, ,and Sir Alexander Woodford' was entitietito the same srim for his passage-money homewards. The Warspite was lying idle, and it cost no more to send, her out with Sir Robert Wilson to Gibraltar, and bringing Sir Alexander home, than to pay to those two officers their passage money. On theeontrary, it cost lessfor the payments actually made to them, -whieh—amounted to 9IL 10s. each ; so that on, the point of economy the,cost had.been less than that' if the one had gone out and the other had - come back in the ordinary packet. But he would ask the House whether there was not a certain amount of consideration attached to a representative of her Ma jesty in going out thus to' his government.-,;(llear.) He did not by any means say that expense .wasto be no consideration, but if a ship was thus in. commission and was lying idle, he did consider it had been, under the circumstances, advantageously employed in conferring power- and, consideration upon an officer going to take the command - of so • important a Governorship and for • tress as that ef Gibraltar.--.(Hear.) , • Sir C. NAPIER did not like that sort of reasoning at all. It was not the mere expense of going from Spit head . to Gibraltar and back, but it,was the expense of putting a ship in commission, and getting her crew, and making her fit for sea and for duty, that was to be looked at. Ships were not fitted out but at an enormous cost to the country ; they were not fitted out for passage boats, but • for far different work. He recollected well being captain of a ship for two years, and all he had to do during that period was to take out a Governor and a Commissioner_ to the West Indies.L4Laughter.) He called it great waste.—(Hear; hear.) ' He repeated, and he was sure - the country and- the service would. agree with him,that British ships of war. ought not to be made into passage-boats. . Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE, in reference to the Hon. Gentleman's (Mr. Hume's) other question, begged to say that the expenses now charged for Mr. M`Gregor were incurred in the year 1842 and in the early: part. of 1843. With regard to the general question as to the Stade duties; he was happy to say an arrangement was likely to be come to very speedily s but the • nature of, that ar rangement it.woold be improper in him to communicate. Mr. HUME said, he observed in these estimates that the public were charged with fees • for the conferring honours upon individuals. If there were such fools to be 'found as to seek these things, 'he really thought they ought themselves to pay ; for them.—(Laughter, and Hear, hear.). He .thought a Committee upon this and some other items would do a deal of good, and he did not knoW but what he should move, for one. Again, .in. p. 11, he found.an item, 1011. fora surgeon for the Scilly Isles, and 421. for medicine for the Scilly Isles. He wished to know who were the proprietors of these Scilly Isles ?—(Laughter.) • • -The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I do not exactly know who the , proprietors are.—(Laughter.) Mr. HUME—Then what business have you paying doctors and medicines for them.—(Laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the fact was, a communication, had been made to the Go vernment representing that the people in these isles were sorely afflicted with disease, and were in the most de plorable state for medical help, which they had no means of procuring, and it was thought a duty not to refuse as sistance so dreadfully needed, and the cost of which was so small.—(Hear.) Mr. HUME said he perceived there was a sum of 2,3001. set down as the salary . and expenses of the Mar shal of the Queen's Bench Prison for three-quarters . of a year. The fornier Marshal of'the prison, he understood, had 6,000/. a year. He had complained of it again and again, and he had been assured that the salary would in future be more moderate. He wished to know what the salary of the present Marshal was ? Mr. M. SUTTON said that the salary of the Marshal of the Queen's Prison was 700/. a year. Mr. HUME said be should move for a detailed ac count of the salary and allowances of this officer. He also complained of the sum of 3201. charged for bring ing silver from the Bank of Ireland to the Bank of England. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex plained that the silver was brought over to accommodate the Bank of. England, during the great demand for silver. Mr. HUME thought the item ought to have been carried to the general account of the expenses of calling in the coinage. The CHANCELLOR of the 'EXCHEQUER again explained that there was at the time a great accumula tion of.silver in the Bank of Ireland, which was lying there useless, while there was a great demand for it in demand England, and therefore it.was brought over h e re, but that the expense could not be charged to the Bank of England. Mr. HUME said he had w arned the Right Hon. was called ld arise' Gentleman qf the inconvenie nc e that would arise when t t h h e e co ß in a a n g k e vv fo a r s - fi t r i s ie t c g a r ll e e a d t th "i IT he go a ld t wou without any proviSion being made by the Mint or for silver, in consequence of sovereigns being made receivable only at.a certain ' weight. Great incon venience was feltin consequence; some bankers had had to give one per cent. for silver to furnish their custo mers with, and in some cases silver was not to be pro cured at all. There was great culpability somewhere ; the large establishment of the . Mint was at such a junc ture perfectly useless, no additional coinage of silver having been made ;it went on in its old jog-trot man ner. This was not the way in which a great public de partment ought to be conducted. It had the power of working four. times as. much as it did, yet no increase was made, notwithstanding the great pressure for silver felt by the public. This charge of 3201. ought to be - paid either by the Master of the Mint or by the Right Hon. Gentleman, he did not tnow which—(Hear, hear)—it was a charge the public revenue ought not to be subjected to. But though he 'made these observations, he begged to say that the present estimates were the best he had ever seen submitted to• the House of. Com mons.—(Hear,:,liear. BLit still.they might have been better.—(Hear, hear.) Captain PECHELL thought that the Committee had not had a sufficient explanation of the charge made of sending out one of'the largest class of ships to Gibraltar with the Governor Sir Robert Wilson. He objected to the employmentoelarge ships of war for such a purpose. It hid been made to appear that it was the cheapest mode, but this could not be ascertained unless they had a return of the cost of the wear and tear of one of these large ships during a passage of fourteen days in the winter season. • - Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH objected to several items of expenditure, such as 5501. for abstracts of the accounts of turnpike trusts, - and 4591. Ils. 2d. to the Poor-la Commissioners for preparing certain ret u r ns ordered "by the 'Government. = Mr. COLLETT said he perceived Thera was a sum of 2,945/. for the cartoons which were exhibited in West minster Hall. He wished to know whether this was -the amount, after- deducting the , mone y which was re ceived from those who paid ls. each to see them before the public was admitted ? - Sir G. CLERIC said the sum referred to by the Hon. Gentleman was' the amount paid as pr defray the ex• penses of fitting up the Hall, and for the paytisent of those who attended.. There was a balance remaining of 200 L, which would go to: meet the expenses of the other works of art which were advertised to be seen in the ensuing month. Sir C. NAPIER said he understood there was a con siderable disagreement between. Sir II• rottinger, their Minister in China, and the naval and military officers employed there, the latter not liking to be placed under a civilian. He wished to know from the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies whether there was any truth in this - report ? He wished' also to know why it was that a frigate should be employed to convey Sir. R. Wilson to such a petty place as Gibraltar, while. Sir C. Metcalf was sent to Canada in the Columbia? The Noble Lord talked of the dignity of sending a Governor in a Than-of-war, but he did not see what dignity there could be in sending out a frigate to Gibraltar. Lord STANLEY, said he had do hesitation in telling the Hon. and Gallant Officer that general instructions had been sent ont to the naval and military-officers, in consequence of - the anomalous position of their affairs in China, at the time, that they should render Sir 11. Pot finger every, service in carrying on his operations. He believed there Was somedifference of opin ion with regard to the nature of the services they were to perform, but there was not theislighestdifferenee of opinion during the whole course of their military operations. Whatever con struction might be put on the instructions, he did not believe that there was 'any difference with regard to the - cordial discharge, of their duties by the officers. With • regard to the second question, he . thought that it would create more respect for him if they sent out the Go vernor of Gibraltar in a frigate, particularly as there was one to spare. Sir C. Metcalf went to Canada in the, Columbia, because it was-more eonveniene for him than if he went in a frigate, which could not, at the period he went out, Ow him to the scat of Government. - Sir'Cs NAPIER expressed himself satisfied nith the answer of the Noble Lord to .the first question, but he could tell the Noble Lord that a most, deserving officer, Lord John Hay, gaye u p his Ship in disgust at being constantly employed in this service. - M s . aL.L O'CONNELL objected to the 'payment of 80/. to Mr. BroWnrigg;the inspector of constabulary, for making an analysis of the Arms Act, which was of no use, and very badly drawl' up. • Lord ELIOT said in reference to what had been said by the Ilon.• Member for Roseorrncrn, that he did not think 'the items to which he referred could be objected to. With 'respect to Mr. Bi•ownrigg, he was supposed 'to be. a person very competent .to make an abstract of the - Act referred to by the Hon. Gentleman, and the 80/. was for the eipenses of preparing a number of copies for the different constabulary stations. Mr. M. O'FERRALL, in allusion to the item of .591. 175., for the expenses of a Commission of Inquiry into certain alleged inalversations on the part of certain officers of Kilinainhani gaol, in connection with the ex pense of convicts, com plained, that although Major Palmer (who had beNt, according to the report of the CominissionerS, guilty of gross negligence), had been dismissed 'by the Treasury from the office he held 'connection with the, convict establishment in Kileartin ham gaol ; yet he had been continued by the Irish Go vernment in the office of. Inspector-General of the Prisons of Ireland. : • Sir G. CLERK admitted that, although the report acquitted Major Palmer orall knowledge of a participa tion in the malversations alluded to, yet it stated that he had been guilty of gross negligence, and, therefore, he had been removed from his office ; but no complaint had been made against lain in 'his office of Inipector- General of rrisons, De had satisfactorily performed the duties of, that office. for twenty-threeyears. He had introduced many, and great improvements into the ma nagement of the ,prison, and, therefore, it had been depused advisable ao coutitiae , his office. Mr. M. O'FERI(ALL'S cemplaint vvae, against the 'Noble Lord :for continuing in office a man whom the frreasury.had dismi - sgo for grow negiloat, Mr. F. Tr BAllelaVea.kliatzel; etailideiabe s eXPLauittleal ► of the Eight lion, Daronet to be at all satieNctory. Now, the least thing, he thought, which the. King of Ha-, never could do, in return for the 21,000/ which he received: annually from this country; was to take care of its inte rests at, his own Court. He objected also Lo a charge: Which he saw, for the conveyance, in some of the vessels Of war, 'of two Princes of Prnssikand their •respective, suites s --Prince Adelberg from Riode Janiero: to Peras and another Prince from Java to Beyrout,. and thence to. Constantinople. He.thoughtit quite enough to furnish them with vessels to convey them and their suites front one place to another withoutat the same time:paying the ex; penses of their passage. There was another charge, of a very singular nature, to which he had an objeetioni 'lt was 77/. Is. 4d., the amount of Messrs. Vizard and Main's bill Of costs in an action bronght against- Lord Brougham, in his official capacity, when. Lord Chan cellOrof England. , He thought thatif the Lord Chan-. cellor left himself open in.his official capacity: to such.a charge, he ought to pay at himself.. He objected also to the very heavy charges that were made for sending out Governors to some of our petty coloniess--for instance, to Van Diemen's Land and New Zealand, in each of which the cost was 800/. That was a monstrous charge. Why the population of New Zealand did not amount to more than 5,000 persons altogether. It ought to be shoWn whether such charges were at all, necessary. . There were several others of a similar kind, but he referred tei these as being of .the largest amount. Again, the ex•t . peaces for robes and.collars for-the Knights of the seve-1 ral Orders were-charged at 1,2021, and the bill of Messrs, Gerrard and Co. .for repairing the saixte'was'no, less than 1,152/. NO w this was an expenditure to which he altogether, objected, for he thought the Knights themselves one-4 to pay for their own decorations. Then there was they funeral of the .late Duke of Sussex. No one.more highly! esteemed that lamented nobleman when aline, nor ha greater veneration for his memory, but still he thoughl that a charge 0f_1,352/. for his funeral expenses could] and ought to have been avoided. With respect tot colonial bishops, they had been often told in • that; House when the matter was discussed, that .they gave rise to no public expenditure. Now, he found that.no'• less, than five of those colonial bishops were receiving) the public money,•and employing our ships of war and' steamers, in conveying them from one place to another.] They . were the Bishops .of Jamaica, Newfoundland,l Tasmania, Gibraltar—and with respect to the latter ! he found a charge •of 2101. for the conveyance of him-1 self and suite on board her Majesty's steam-vessel, the' Devastation, from Gibraltar- to Constantinople and' back. He thought it was quite enough to have sup plied the Right Rev. Prelate with the passage in a Go vernment vessel, With Out also paying for the expenses of his Suite. There was another item, which he re quested the Right. Hon. Baronet to be good enough to explain. It was to the Bishop of Chester for preachers in. Lancashire, for eleven years and :a half, begin ning on . the 15th of April, 1832, and ending on the 10th of October, 1843, 1,3221. Bs. He sup posed that the money had- been refused by the late Government, and hence the present demand. Ite should like to know the reason that could be assißied for another another Singular vote, namely, for watering Parkgate-street, in Dublin, in the summers of 1841 and 1842, 681, 17s. 6d. There was another vote to which he wished to call attention, namely, the sum of 4001. for the College of St. David's. He did not regret that there was such an item.; he only complained of the sum as being too small, being quite inadequate to supply a good system of education for the clergy of Wales who were educated there. In fifteen parishes, in the immediate neighbourhood of that college, the tithes were in the hands of one: layinapropriator. to -the amount of not less than 6,000/..each parish, thus furnishing 4,0001. to that single layman, while the twenty-one clergymen who served those parishes received .71/. 10s. from each. -He mentioned these facts to show that there was no induce ment held out to men of ability and education to enter the Church'there, and that to those who did enter it, the means Of obtaining a good education was not furnished. He thought, if the funds of St. David's College were en riched, it, would confer a most important benefit on the' Established Church in that part of the country. The two! richly,endowed universities, Oxford and Cambridge, re ceived 2,000/. annually from the. public funds ; and the! colleges and universities of Scotland received annually; 7,080/. froni the same source ; and the Dublin Society; in Ireland received 12,678/., -besides 1,500/. a year for the ordinary purposes of education ; and last year the London University received. 4 - ,548/. from this House. , When sums were thus liberally expended in other quar ters,' he trusted that the case Of St. David's College would betaken into consideration by the Government, and he assured them that the cause of the great extent to which Dissent mated in that part of the country had been mainly owing to the want of sufficient provision for the- clergy of the Established Church there, and to the not affording them. the means of a liberal and en lightened education, which every 'clergyman of the Church of England ought to have. Dr. BOWLING said there was one item on which he; would take the liberty of asking a question. 'The Noble! Lord the Member. .for. Tiverton (Lord Palmerston) whenl in office had pointed out the disadvantage of having ourl digoinatic interests-dependent in a great measure upon strangers, *lie s were used as .intepreters by our,Minis nisters In eastern- countries,sand had shown the neces- 1 sity of educating some :young: rrien.of this country in the languages of the Eastjor. the purpose .of acting as interpreters •in .negotiations.

There was another point which he did 'not understand —the expenses under the • head of civil and . militarY service in the Levant.' ,' • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the estimate was for expenses incurred in 1841, and paid in 1843. s Sir C.

It was pro raised last year that something should be done as to these duties, and before' he proceeded with any further remarks he would give the opportunity to the Govern ment-of stating any thing - in reference to, them they might be enabled to do. Lord STANLEY said, before the Hon. Member's • . •• question was answered, the' House, perhaps, would permit him to give an explanation in. reference to the remarks 'of the Gallant Officer (Sir C.

Sir li.: - PEEL said that with regard to the first point his Right: Hon.

BARING had been always very, hostile to fees, but a Commission '-appitited by that Rouse had recom mended the systeni of fees to these officers. "He thought a substitution of salaries for these fees would be very advantageoui to the publia. Sir R. PEEL expressed himself to a similar effect. Coldnel SIBTHORP --Wished to know what • salary was paid to Mr. Bulwer as ambassador. to MOdrick'' He (Colonel Sibthorp),was surprised that the Government shoUld have selected a persbn Opposed to them in polities for this important situation. ' Sir R. PEEL said he must decline answering 'the question, Mr. Itulwer was.a highl,y talented gentleinan, and every way calculated for the situation in which -he had geed placed: • He (Sir 'R. Peel) did not think it was the duty of the Goveinnient 'to look to party in making such. appointments aS . these,-. but rather to the:capabili ties of the , person to be appointed. It was upon these considerations that Mr. - Bulwer had been appointed, and he was sure that no one could object to the appointment on the ground of incapacity in the person appointed.; • ' The vote was then agreed to. The sum of 112,1901. was then, proposed to defray the the expenses Of public buildings, &C. • f . Mr. W. WILLIAMS Oected to the vote. He found that tho average sum-vote for-this purpose for the last five. years,..was.l2o,ooo/. .Thewhole.suns voted for the whole five years, was 686,0001. for the expensei of public parks, palaces, &c. He. thought the Right Hon. Baronet opposite Would agree • with him that proper economy had not been observed,' as this large sum had increased year after year. Lord LINCOLN said, it was not until lately that. his attention had teen draWn to the subject of the parks. He was surprised that the -Hon. Gentleman could have found fault with the expenditure upon the royal parks, as they were entirely appropriated to the public accom modation. So far from the expense of the Parks being on the increase, there was at present a decrease. It was true; that In some' of the metropolitan parks, the ex penses had been increased owing to- the greater number of persons who latterly visited them. Hampton Court had been occupied by some Members of the aristo cracy, ,but still he thought that it would be wrong if the Crown had not the power of . appropriating apartments to those persons, and the connections of those persons, who had rendered eminent services to the country, and who might be destitute of house and home. But at the same time it should be remembered that in this building there was a large suite of rooms, which were solely appropriated to the public. Sir CHARLES NAPIER said a large sum of money would be likely to be expended upon removing the buildings in St. James's Park on the side of St. James's street. - • Dr. BOWRING complained of the item of 300/, being expended upon a Government building in the Isle of Wight: He thought they ought to be allowed to manage their own financial affairs, and then they would be wil ling to pay such expenses as those new sought to be in cluded in the estimates. - In reply to, a question from Mr. EWART, : Lord LINCOLN said that the proposed improvements in thelocality between the Regent's-park and Primrose bill had been retarded in consequence of the negotiations pending with Eton College. Mr. HUME objected to this mode of passing .all,the estimates for public parks and mansions in one vote. He did not Wish at this late hour to oppose the vote, but he thought the Government- ought to allow the House to. have the separate expenses of each establishment -for the previous year laid before it. After a few words froni Captain PECHELL, the vote was agreed to. Mr. BROTHERTON then moved.that the Chairman report progress. Sir G. CLERK said that the next vote was only for the • expenses .of the temporary Houses of Parliament. BROTHERTON gave way. Sir G: CLERIC then moved, for a grant of 5,4001. for the expenses of the temporary Houses. The vote was agreed to. The next vote was 60,0001. for the Houses of Parlia ment. In answer to a question upon this vote, The Earl of LINCOLN said the naw House of Lords could be fitted up temporarily for the next session if ab solutely required, but he thought it would .be in such a state as to cause great prejudice to health,. and therefore he hoped their Lordships would -see fit to alter their wishes. Both the Houses could:be made 'comfortable by the session following—that of 1846. The vote was then agreed to. . . The next and last vote was 7,0001. for Trafalgar- Site - Ore; Whieh being agreed to the Chairman reported progress and asked - leave to sit again. • COUNTY. COURTS (LANCASTER.) The House having resumed, Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET obtained leave to bring in two Bills ; one to amend the jurisdiction of the County Court of the County Palatine of Lancaster; and the other to alter and' amend the jurisdiction of the -Chancery Court of the same Court. ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAYS. Mr. SHAW moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the merits and importance of atmospheric railways. —(Much amusement was caused by the President of the Board of Trade, in whose department the appli cation came, being in a sound sleep, on the cross bench behind the Speaker's chair. Having been aroused by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Hon. Gentle man proceeded to his place, amid the laughter of the Hon. Members present.) Mr. Shaw then proceeded to state that at that hour of the night he would not go into the question ; he would merely say that he would follow any course the Right Hon. Gentleman might suggest as the most desirable. • - • Mr. GLADSTONE said he should suggest, as• most advisable, that the Honourable and Learned Gentle man should postpone his motion till after Easter. The Honourable Gentleman must. , be aware of the difficulty that attended any proposition for . a Select Committee to inquire into the success of scientific expe riments; •it might lead to many similar propositions. There could be no doubt that, on the small scale on which it had been tried, , the experiment had succeeded ; the question was whether it would succeed if tried on a more extensive scale. lie had another objection to the motion, Which was this. The Hon. Gentleman asked -for an inquiry into the importance of the experiments on this railway ; he (Mrs Gladstone) thought that, they had already got to that point, and he doubted if, he would get further by having the Select Committee he asked for, He did not propose to inquire into any particular plan, but into the importance of the atmospheric prin ciple, which he believed-was generally admitted. Who were the persons most interested in this plan ? The proprietors of railways—the possessors of_vast masses of -capital, and who had the best means of investigatingthe plan for themselves: The House could better ascertain the merit of the system if these parties were before it, which at present was not the case. Lord H. VANE said that as this was a matter of na tional importance, it was right that the session should not be allowed to elapse till the House had made a practical inquiry into the principle. He therefore hoped that the House would consent to the motion of the Right -Hon. Gentleman. Mr. SHAW said that at 'this moment when there were many important railways in contemplation, he was most anxious to have the principle of atmospheric rail ways tried in this conntry. If the question was not decided this session it - would be too late, but as the Right Hon. Gentleman seemed to 'think it would be better te..withdraw..the motion, till after Easter, lie had no objection to tie so.. The motion:was then withdrawn.

The Noble Lord was chairman of the chairman's panel, and had been included in his original dratight of the Committee. The name of his Noble Friend had, only, been omitted through inadver tence, and he considered.it very important that the Ginn -mittee, should have the advantage of his Noble Friend's services.- 'Mn.

TREATMENT OF MR. BARNARD GREGORY - IN isTEW. GATE.—Mr.. Wells, the .barrister, . appeared before the Lord Mayor, for the Purpose of calling his Lordship'S attention to the case of Mr-Barnard Gregory, and the treatment which it was alleged ,that individual was suf.! fering froin in the gaol of NesVgate.
