Bills on the table were then forwarded a stage, and , adj,,urned. •N '‘V.)) : Fl 4 On clause 15 being proposed. Mr. SHARMAN CR A WFORD moved that it be expunged, and that the following clause be inserted in its place :—" And be it enacted, that if any person or persons shall find himself or themselves aggrieved by any order or decision of such Sub- Commissioners, it shall be lawful for such person or persons to appeal to any sessions of the peace to be held in the presence of the assistant barrister in and for the county in which such order or decision shall have been made, within four calendar months next after the making of such decision or order afore said, or if such sessions shall not be held before the ex piration of one calendar month next after such cause of complaint, then such appeal shall be made to the next follow ing sessions. And be it enacted, that the justices and the as sistant barrister before whom any appeal shall lie brought are hereby empowered and required to hear awl determine the matter of such appeal, and to make such order therein as to them shall seem fit, which order shall be final and conclusive upon all parties." Sir T. FREMANTLE admitted that the system of appeal under the Bill was imperfect, and that it had been a subject . that he had found it most difficult to grapple with. He thought the subject ought to he considered. Viscount CLEMENTS thought the clause most objection able, and he should, therefore, support its expulsion. He objected to the appeal being sent to the revising barrister, but should have no objection to its going t' the petty sessions. He was in hopes still of their being enabled to put off this Bill to the next session. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD trusted that the Right Hon. Baronet would consider his proposition before the report. If he would do so, he would not press his amendment at this stage of the Bill. Sir. R. FERGUSON thought the subject of appeal ought to be hell considered before it was finally determined upon. Sir T. FREMANTLE said be would consider the proposi tion of the Hon. Member for Rochdale, and trusted that they would now be allowed to go on with the Bill. Viscount CLEMENTS thought that the Chairman should report progress. He had no objection to them taking that part of the Bill that related to counties that had not been valued, but he considered it an outrage on those that had. After some discussion the clause was agreed to. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. The proceedings of the House were then suspended till five o'clock. The House resumed at Five o'clock. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE moved that the Committee on the Bolton and Leigh, Kenyon and Leigh Junction, North Nnion, Liverpool and Manchester, and Grand Junction Rail way Companies Amalgamation Bill, have leave to report forth with. Mr. M. GIBSON opposed the motion on the ground that the people of Manchester were opposed to the measure. Mr. DUNCOMBE said three days would be lost if the House did not allow the report to be brought up new. The opposition in Manchester was as feeble as any opposition could be. and as little deserving the notice of the House. Lord G. SOMERSET thought: that, under the circum stances, the House ought to assent to the motion, on the un derstanding that the report would be printed, and in the hands of Members to-morrow. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE was understood to agree to the con ditions. Mr. BRIGHT said that the interests of the public ought to be considered as well as those of the Company. After a few words from Mr. COBDEN not heard in the gallery, The report was brought up and ordered to be received. Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented i petition in favour of the Teri Hours' Bill. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. Several Iiill;;;;;;;ug1;;uiafrom the House of Lords. NORTH WALSHAM SCHOOL BILL. This Bill was read a second time. SMALL DEBTS BILL (No. 3). The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he believed that the Bill he was about to introduce had met with the unanimous approval of both sides of the H )use. He proposed that as he had several clauses and amendments to add to it, that the best course would be now to read the Bill a second time, and go into Committee pro forma. The clauses and amendments could then he printed with the • votes of to-night, and placed in Hon. Members hands. The further considera tion of the Bill and any discussion on it could be taken next Monday in Committee. Mr. WAKLEY was satisfied with the Bill as it stood. A Bill was very much needed to correct the evils of the one passed last year. He thought they ought, before consenting to the course suggested by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, to know the character of the Bill as altered by him. Sir J. GRAHAM considered the course suggested by his Noble and Learned Friend the best that could be adopted, as Hon. Members would be possessed of the printed amendments before their consideration being entered upon. The Bill was then read a second time, and committed pro forma, and the Chairman asked leave to sit again on Monday. CASE OF ELIZA PRICE. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE wished to call attention to the case of Eliza Price, who had been imprisoned for stealing a halfpenny-worth of coals —( Hear, hear.) She had been chained to the grate of the back-kitchen of the house of IPhe officer who had taken her into custody, and wlien her sister called in a few days after, she complained of the s;:3te in which she was, and requested that some soup might be gives her. (The Hon. Member read the statement made by the sister.) He thought this a case of gross oppression—a girl confine.l during four days to a back room, chained to the grate ; and he t,Qttght that it called for i-quiry. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that the vise referred to by the Hon. Gentleman was perfectly new to him. bet be would direct a letter to be sent to the Lord Lieutenant of the county, requiring him to raise the question, and when he should be in possession of the facts, he would lay them esa the table of the House. OT A HEITE. Captain PECHELL — ;sketithe — Right Honourable and Gallant Baronet opposite (Sir George Cocl.burn) whether any intelligence had been received at the Admiralty relative to certain indignities which it was alleged, in a letter published in a morning newspaper, had been offered to her Majesty's ship Talbot ? The letter stated, that unless the captain of the Talbot acknowledged the French protectorate, and saluted the French flag, she was forbidden any intercourse, except with the Salamander, station d there also, and French boats were sent round the Talbot in order to prevent any communi cation with the shore. The captain refused to submit, but sailed away from the place in disgust, leaving the Salamander at Otaheite. Sir G. COCKBURN said that if the Gallant Officer had given notice of his question he should have been able to answer it more fully. He would, however, state that no reports had been received at the Admiralty conveying intelligence to the extent mentioned try the Gallant Officer. Captain PECHELL gave notice that he would repeat the question on Monday evening next. FLOGGING AT WINDSOR. Mr. WAKLEY said be wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary at War a question arising out of a report that appeared in the Morning Chronicle newspaper on Monday last, of two men having been fl igged at Windsor. The men, it would appear, were flogged for refusing to strip naked is the presence of the other men. He wished to know If that report were correct. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT said the men were examined in consequence of a disease prevalent among them, and which re quired a very close medical examination. Fourteen of the men examined on the occasion in question were infected with this disease. The punishment was inflicted in consequence of their refusing to march to tke black-hole. and to obey the commands of the commanding officer who ordered them there. He need not tell the House that it was essentially necessary that the eomnaands of the officers should be implicitly obeyed. The commanding officer stated to the men that they had committed a mos' serious offence and commanded them to be confined for tarty-eight hours, and when the order was given the men made no remonstrance, but shortly afterwards the sergeant returned and stated that they refused to march to the black-hole. The commanding officer then sent for the men and told them that they were guilty of a great military crime. The sergeant then gave the men the word a second time, when the men again re• fused to march. The officer himself repeated the word two or three times, and they continued their refusal to march. He ordered them back to the guard-room and again remonstrated with them, but they still persisted in their refusal. The officer having heard the statement of the surgeon, and the feeling which was displayed toward his orders, then almost: immediately convened a court-martial, which awarded the punishment. He had stated these circumstances, because Ise wished that there should be no false impression with regard to the case. Mr. WILLIAMS said that the Right Hon. Gentleman had not answered the most important part of the question —namely , whether it was usual that the soldiers should be inspected in each other's presence in such numbers. Mr. S. HERBER r said that it was customary in the army that .t there shoz!ld be a strict examination before the s ur g eon, and customary also cus;oary that they should be ordered to ba the together. The inspee`YM generally took place in the room of the men in the morning. Mr. WA KLEY common an ex amination that there wait n othing more re pulsive to the a fe e li ng mealiood than that soldiers should under go pre tence of a larire company stark neked, in the pre soldiers. He kne a not what were the arrangements in t h e army, he thought that the effect would he very dangerous. w ere seventy soldiers at pre sent confined in one of the metropo litan gaols inconsequence of practice which was at present misconduct, and he thought the resorted to, tended to destroy the eeling which should exist in the army. I RECOMPENCE FOR SERVICES IN CHINA. Captain BERKELEY rose to bring forward the H motion which he had given notice for a Committee of the whole gon of to consider the propriety of an address to her Majesty, humbly requesting that she would b e graciously pleased to grant a pecuniary recompence to the officers, se a _ men, soldiers, and marines, engaged in the operations against the Chinese Empire, in the years 1840, 1841, and 1812, The Hon. Member then called the attention of the House to a memorial presented to the House by Mr. Gordon Bremer, showing the amount of money that had been taken during the war ii China, and contending that the grounds laid in the memorial were sufficient to show that the memoriali.t was en titled to prize money. He next referred t o what he called the authority of the "greatest warrior of the age," to show that the actions that had taken place in China were in fact a war. The Noble Lord said that the soldiers, although possessed of r, lay.) 1 Visneunt CLEM ENiS objected t o %'i. , i. 1% I%ro. e ..;ing ler-i , r : there were ce:l , ,aree I% isla Member i % t+% ,, tleu , e , and . aio re tiiau sixteen Members aitoge% her. He objected to the principle of the Bill from the commencement to its ter minatien. The Noble Lord then moved that the House be eounted, and added that he would take every means in his power to defeat the Bill. Mr. GREENE, the Chairman of the Committee, then counted the House, and there being only twelve Members present, he quitted the chair, and The 'PICAKIA having entered the House. Mr. GREENE reported that he had counted it, and there were only twelve Members pre.stat. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and af% er an in terval of about a quarter of an hour, sufficient Members were found to constitute a House. Upon the question that clause 5 stand part of the Bill, Lord CL ENI ' , NTS objected to the motion, and said he would divide the House upon it. S• rangers were again ordered to with& aw, but no division took place, in consequence of the Noblo Lord (Clements) not being able to find a second tel:er. The clause was then agreed to. On our entering the House we found Sir T. FREMANTLE requesting the Nob'e Lord to allow the Bill to proceed, as it was really a measure ca'culated to do much good in Ireland, and it was necessary it should be carried during the present session. He did not think that the Noble Lord had fairly considered the provisions of the Bill. Sir R. FERGUSON trusted that the Right Honourable Gentleman the Secretary for Ireland would allow this Bill to be an experiment in those counties where no valuation had as yet taken place. Viscount CLEMENTS protested against imposing upon the Lord-Lieutenant duties which could he performed by grand juries. He certainly should do all he could to defeat the Bill. Clauses up to 14 were agreed to, with a few verbal amend ments. considerable plunder, had net squandered it, and had shown themselves the friends of the people whom they had eon vored This was tbe testimony of one the members of the Government, and I've would tali the attention •.t Honour able Members to it. They had been regularly in the habit of ailoiviog the Indian army not only batta, but also that which they took or destroyed while engaged in warfare. Would they treat the army of China worse than that of India, or would they deprive the army of Sinde of that bounty hitt erto awarded the armies of India for successful warfare? '1 here ought to be no such distinction made. The Chinese army had been engaged in long and arduous warfare, and had carried out some of the moat brilliant achievements that ever had been accomplished by British arms. The Gallant Member then went into a sketch of the war in China, detailing some of the most remarkable victories of the campaign, and the sufferings and fatigue to which the naval and land forces had been sub jected. The Hon. Member then read a letter from Captain Grey, detailing the sufferings of the men during the year 1840. Now, there were men who were fur voting to make their way into the interior of China, with the evidence of this mortality before them. When they had their prize money they might have effected this, if they had been sure of it. But paltry as that was—and he would tell them what it was— the superior officers had from 1001. to 2001., and the petty officers had 4/. If the latter had been employed in the dockyards, instead of being engaged in China, they would have received one-third more than they would receive for their services in that country. Surely this was the hardest ease that ever was. Supposing that a poor widow had two sons engaged in this no-war, what would be her feeling—supposing these two sons were killed in the service of their country—when she went to receive their prize-money, and was tendered 41. for each—each of her children ? Why, it was said that the navy was discouraged—that no man would enter into the service; but if men were well paid there would be no such hesitation. But the moment men had earned their prize-money, as in this ease, in stepped the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and said that they had al, eady received a donation in batta. He had gone thus far in endeavouring to assert the rights of those deserving men, and in doing so contended that he looked only for their rights ; and no Member of that House could deny that they were the just and fair rights of these men. Could the House refuse what these men asked, when they remembered how others had been rewarded for their ser vices? Look at Lord Exmouth ; he got 100,000/. for the taking of a place which he did not keep five minutes. He did not mean to say that that reward was not well deserved ; but he denied that those men who bad served in China were not as brave and as determined, and as humane, as any soldiers in the British army.—( Hear, hear.) Sir Hugh Gough and Sir Wm. Parker had been rewarded for their services, and no Member of that House could stand up and say they had not earned it; but surely if the services they had rendered their country were deserving of such reward, that was a still stronger argument in favour of those men whose cause he advocated, and who had received but 41. each.—( Hear, hear.) . He feared he was but a weak advocate in the cause of those whose rights he had undertaken to defend ; but he di I hope that the House would acknowledge the justice of that cause, and that it would accede to his motion, which was but an act of simple justice. If the House refused to reward men who had fought so hardly, he could tell the Government that they could hold out no inducement to men to enter the service, and they would give the greatest blow to the British navy that it could receive. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that in rising to oppose the motion he trusted the House would not believe that he meant to deny the bravery, or zeal, or humanity of those who fought in China. But he begged to remind the Hon. and Gallant Member that the power of conferring re wards of this sort had always been most jealously reserved to the Crown. He had stated, on a former occasion, that it was laid down at the outset of those operations that they were un dertaken for the purpose of enforcing compensation for monies taken from British subjects, and of compelling the Chinese to conform to the practice of civilised nations. But in order to give a title to prize money, there must be a declaration of war, a proclamation of the Crown granting prize money, and an Act of Parliament determining the manner in which the prize money should be distributed. If the principle now set up were acceded to, it would involve this country in the greatest difficulties whenever it should be found necessary to make reprisals upon any foreign power. The Honourable Gen tleman had said that the grant in this case was a niggardly one, and spoke of the quantity of prize money as magnificent, whereas there was no prize at all,—( Hear. ) In fact, when Chinese vessels were taken and retained, appli cation was made to Sir H. Pottinger to appoint prize agents. But he declared that the vessels were not captured as prizes, but only to be detained until proper restitution should be made by the Chinese Government. Yet, in making recompence to the officers and men for the services rendered, it was thought right to have some regard to the value of the captures, which, under other circumstances, would have been prizes. Accord ingly, 420,0001. was allotted, which the Hon. Gentleman con sidered far below the value of the property captured. But, in fact, it was more than the value. In Syria, and at Algiers, the gratuities were far less than the value of the property cap tured. With rerpect to the distribution of the gratuity, he ad mitted that it had taken place in this case in a manner some what different from the regulated distribution of ordinary prize money. The principle of batta, which prevailed in Indian ser vice, was adopted ; because, under the circumstances, it would have been inconvenient, and pregnant with cause of dissatis faction to adopt any other principle. The Hon. Gentleman had drawn the picture of a boy dying in the arms of victory, with the hope that his prize-money would render the last days of an aged parent comfortable. But the Hon. Gentleman ought to know that he was holding out delusive expectations in such a statement as that ; for he must know that a private soldier or sailor could not expect to receive for his share any amount which would enable him to leave his successors in independ ence.—( Hear, hear.) It was very well known that, in time of war, it was impossible so to apportion the prizes that the most deserving should be the best rewarded. He denied, there fore, that there was any ground of complaint in this case. 420,0001. had been distributed ; and, in fact, the whole value of the captures was no more than 117,0001. It was quite idle to say that the compensation given by the Chinese Govern ment was to be regarded as prize.—(Hear.) It was a most painful position for any man to be'placed in—a position to be obliged to resist applications to the House for recompence to the most deserving members of the military and naval services. —(Hear, hear.) Still he was compelled to resist applications so groundless as the present. He could not think so badly as the Hon. Gentleman opposite of the seamen and soldiers in her Majesty's service, that they would have refused to do their duty unless theywere certain of increased emolument—of a sudden largess. He could say no more as to the amount of the re compence already given, than that it exceeded the amount of the captures, that it would be received with satisfaction by the officers, seamen, soldiers, and marines engaged in the opera tions against China, and that it would stimulate them, if any stimulus were wanted, to equal gallantry on future services. Sir U. NAPIER said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer set out, as was usual when justice was going to be denied, by reminding the House that this was a constitutional Govern ment.—( Hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman said that there was no war, and there could be no prize money. But this was not the case, for, in 1804, when four frigates were sent out to watch the Spanish galleons, and succeeded in capturing them as prizes, there was no declaration of war. The Chancellor of the Exchequer must have a bad memory. for, only last year, he stated, on the subject of the Danish claims, that the vessels captured by Denmark were good prizes, because no war had b. en declared, and now, he said that the Chinese junks were not prizes becau.e war had not been declared. Here was a war for three years, a tedious, though not a very bloody war, because they were contending with enemies not very well acquainted with the science of arms, but a war in which much danger and hardship was incurred, was now called by the Chancellor of the Exchequer no war at all ! But what said the Duke of Wellington? Why, in a speech in the House of Lords, contrasting the state of England in its services abroad, he appealed to the war in Spain, in Affghanistan, and China, and yet, forsooth, at this hour of the day, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to come down to the House and seriously state that no war against China had been declared.—( Hear, hear.) Let them look at other instances, and see what had been the course previously adopted. At Navarino, an affair of one day, 60,000/. was given for prize-money to be di-tributed among one ship of the line and four or five frigates, and that for an an action of about three hours. At Algiers, for a work also of a few hours, a very large sum was voted for prize. money ; and, though war was not then formally declared, the Secretary to the Admiralty took care to prove that a war actually existed, and accordingly received war pay. The petty officers received at that period 171. each; for the six weeks affair at Syria 13/. was allotted ; while for the China war of three years 4/. was given for one year, and in all about 161. was granted, because they were told, after hard lighting during that prolonged period, that war was not declared ! Why, if that assertion were true, then were the English no better than pirates in seizing the ships of the Chinese, and the Government no better than deceivers in placarding Portsmouth, Plymouth, and the other naval ports, with announcements that the fortunes of the sailors who went out to China would be made by all the batta they would receive.—(Hear, hear.) Why were they not told honestly that they were to go and fight in a distant and foreign war—that they would receive plenty of hard knocks, but no prize money.—( Hear, hear.) But, by the present system, the petty officers, one of the moat important classes in the ships, and who were looked on by all as the chief instruments to sup press mutiny, were treated in the same manner as boy a. It was all very well to talk of the sailors fighting for honour and glory, but no man would be found to accept war on such terms ; every British sail,r fought for his prize-money, not his glory—. (Oh, oh)—he did not mean glory in the way Honourable Gen tlemen opposite interpreted it, but he repeated, that while British seamen fought for that honour which all men felt a pride in receiving, yet if it were not for the 'hope of a fair and more tangible reward, they would not fight at all. For these reasons he should vote for the motion of his Gallant Friend near him.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. J. A. SMITH thanked the Gallant Commodore near him for the ability and vigour with which he pleaded the sailor's cause, and thought the latter had been the victims of the special pleading of the Government. Mr. H. BERKELEY thought there must be some gross injustice committed on the sailors of this country, when 80,000 of them were to be found at the present moment serving in the navy of America. Who was it but British sailors took the Macedonia and the Java, and fought in a thousand other ac• .ions in the service of a foreign foe ?—( Hear. ) Captain PECHELL advocated the claims of the naval part of the forces employed in the Chinese war, and contended that the officers and seamen were entitled to compensation for the property they had lost, and the diseases, from fever and other sources, which they had suffered in the inclement climate of the country in which they had been employed. The Bri tish seaman had been put on a lower level than the Indian sepoy by the mode of distribution of prize money. 420,0001. did appear a large sum as batta money to be distributed, but it was not generally known how many had to participate in it. He considered that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not treated the motion of his Hon. Friend with sufficient courtesy. Sir R. PEEL said he could not conceive anything more dangerous or of evil tendency than the motion proposed by the Hon. Gentleman opposite. if the House acted on the prin ciple of the Hon. Gentleman the presumption would be that the Government had no duty to perform towards the country; and it might almost be supposed that the Ministry had been appropriating the money to their own private purposes. The commercial community had more reason to complain than the army or navy had. It was a most disagreeable duty for the Ministry to refuse any of the claims ; and nothing was more easy than for a public man to be liberal. No one could estimate more highly than he (Bir R. Peel) the services to be o which had bee n rendered by the a in most China. peculiar The na t services c e which he n. hadbeen rendered rui y werend of structions given to the comn-na::y nder ware, that they should try o t of themake la land i a m n d p re presences sio oon an t he p C r h o i t n e e cb s t : at b ihne e o f dem the i . o r e nf taking rlmoe rci a C h po ssessionne sinterestse . 7 1 as far as possible.

He must say that the motion before the House, if pressed to a division, would be a very unwise proceeding. After so liber a l a reward as 420,000/. offered by the Crown for the naval and mility services rendered, no further remuneration oug,lat to be made. Lord PALMERSTON said the motion of his Honour able and Gallant Friend was not without example. In the ease of Navarino a similar motion had been made, and reptl}i4l7 lamer relAumiti9u than bad been originally proposed had been awarded. He thought that the present motion was perfectly juctifiable. There were feelings of duty which might sometimes overawe the liberal feelings of the Government ; but he could assure the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite that the Ministry had not exercised the liberalit3 of the Crown to a sufficicat extent. It was all very well to say that sailors and soldiers were led to acts of bnivi.-ry out of pure patriotism ; at the same time there was no doubt that the expectation of prize-money added a very great zeal to their actions, and they looked forward to it as their particular reward. There were certain instances of suffering and severity of service which were not rewarded by prize -money—such as disease in a foreign climate. But when in actual battle the sailor or soldier exerted himself, he did coasider that he was entitled to some remuneration. The Crown had admitted that in this case there existed an actual right to remuneration. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer had explained that batta was employed as a reward because part of the forces employed were engaged in the Indian service. But if he was not mistaken, in the ease of Rangoon, where Indian troops had been employed, batta prize -money also had been given. In the present case sufficient remune ration had not been given. The payment of the petty officers, as compared with those paid after the battle of Navarino, had been small. It had been one instruction to the officer in com mand to keep the junks in port, but they were found so nume rous that there was nothing to be done with them after they had been taken, and therefore their value could not be added to the prize-money of the force. The original instructions of the Government were, that the value of the opium was to be ascertained, the debt of the Hong merchants to be found out, and the expenses of the war, to be sent into the Chinese Government for defraying. Sir Henry Pottinger sug gested that he should demand one round sum for all these items. He proposed 5,000,0001., and he (Lord Palmerston) approved of it. The sum which was obtained was not pro portioned to the expenses of the war when the treaty was signed. If the Government accepted a sum, although some what shaft of the sum originally demanded, it was no answer to the demand of His Hon. Friend for sufficient remuneration for the forces employed. The sum of 420,0001. was large, but sums were large or small according to the object for which they might be employed. He believed that Lord Stanley wrote a letter in January, 1843, in which he said, that al though the reward for services of this nature would be reserved, great evil arose from the too frequent interference of this House on matters of this kind. The great moral effect which had been promoted in the Chinese empire had arisen from the good re gulation and order of the military and navy employee. This war had led to great commercial advantages, and it did seem to him that the Government would be justified in making some extra allowance. He thought that the Government were making a niggardly allowance, and, from experience„ he would say that it was the best way, in every case, to give a fair and liberal allowance for services rendered. There was in the public of this empire a generous feeling to do ample justice to all who had well served their country. They opposed a wasteful expenditure of the public money, but they were not niggardly towards those who had done the State good service. He hoped the subject would command the most seri ous attention of the Government. Captain HARRIS said that no doubt the duty imposed was a most unirateful one, when questions of this kind were consi dered. As a justification of the conduct of the Government at the close of the Chinese war, in withholding due reward to the troops that had beers engaged in it, he might state that at that time there was a deficiency of 2,000,0001. in the Exchequer. At the present time there was a surplus, and he hoped the Go vernment would now take the claims of these men into their serious consideration. Captain PLUAIRIDGE briefly defended the officers who had been engaged in the Chinese war, from the attacks which, he alleged, had been made upon them, in reference to the prize money. Sir J. DUKE deplored the mercenary character which had been attributed to the troops and seamen who had been en gaged in the war, by several Gallant Officers who had taken part in the debate. He believed that the forces of this country required no such stimulus to action. He had been in the ser vice himself, and stood and fought by Lord Exmouth, and he always found the glory and honour of England sufficient to en courage the seamen to do their duty.—( Hear, hear.) He would oppose the motion. The gallery was then cleared for a division, and the House divided, when there appeared— For Captain Berkeley's motion Against it . . Majority against the motion.. ...... —4l IRISH CHURCH PROPERTY. Mr. EVELYN DENISON proceeded to call the attention of the House to the management and disposal of that part of the property of the Irish Church vested in the hands of the Irish Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE was not prepared to give any answer beyond the fact that the funds which had passed into the hands of the Irish Church Commission had been ap plied in the most unobjectionable manner. To satisfy Hon. Members, however, he had no objection that further inquiry should be made as to the particular manner in which the money raised had been applied. Mr. HENLEY said that some years ago the church pro perty was stated to be at a certain amount, but since then, some how or other, it had nearly all disappeared. The party opposite had put their hands upon it, and it vanished ; and he feared what remained would disappear in the same way. Lord BERNARD said he could speak from personal expe rience that many of the churches of the county in which he re sided were• in a most disgraceful state ; and he also knew that in that united diocese, Divine service was performed in school houses for want of churches. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said there were so many discre pancies as to the result of the sale of the reversions of the church lands that had been sold, that he did think the matter should be altogether revised. But, unfortunately, from the manner in which such things were managed in Ireland, he could expect no other result, at least as regarded the arrangement of church property in Ireland. Sir T. FREMANTLE begged to assure Hon. Members opposite that, so far from this matter having been regarded with indifference in Ireland, he could assure Hon. Members that it had been regarded with very great anxiety. He wished to make this observation before the discussion on the question closed. Mr. GROGAN said, he knew of an instance of a church in the neighbourhood of Dublin having been taken down, under the impression that it would be rebuilt; but though the church had been down for the last six years, up to this day it had never been rebuilt. The House thee went into Committee of Supply. On 32,300/. being proposed for law expenses, Mr. WILLIAMS said that he should wish to know why there should be seven lawyers connected with any Bill ? He thought also that their salaries were much too high. He wished to know what their duties were to be. Mr. CARDWELL said that when their responsibilities were understood by the Honourable Gentleman, he would not think that their remuneration was too great. The vote was then carried. The sum of 30,0001. Has then proposed to defray the salaries of the officers connected with the Insolvent Debtor's Court. The vote was agreed to. The sum of 18,0001. was proposed for the expenses incurred by the reform of juvenile offenders in the Isle of Wight. Agreed to. The next vote was for a grant of a sum not less than 16,0001. nor more than 18,0001. for the expenses of the Model Prison at Pentonville. Mr. WILLIAMS complained of the excessive charge of the maintenance of the prisoners, which amounted to 331. per head per annum. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that the Hon. Member was mistaken; the expense was no more than three shillings per head per week, and not only had there been a great improve ment in the eventual effects of punishment, but in point of economy the public had gained considerably. The expense of maintaining the prisoners was far less than that cf transporta tion, and the convicts came out of prison much improved and better members of society. Mr. WILLIAMS had no objection that the morals of the prisoners should be attended to, but he questioned the pro. priety of giving them such trades as shoemakers, &c. He considered that it would be much better to teach them agricul tural occupations. HINDLEY wished to know what was the amount of salary received by the chaplain and medical officer ? Mr. CARDWELL said that the chaplain received 4001 per year ; the assistant chaplain 2001. ; the medical officer 3001. ; and the resident surgeon 1001. Mr. HINDLEY thought this monstrous.—(A laugh.) At that rate the chaplain had 1/. a head for every inmate. After a few words from Mr. Hawes, Mr. Ewart, Sir James Graham, and Mr. Wakley, the vote was agreed to. 28,118/. was proposed to defray the expenses of Milbank Penitentiary. Mr. WILLIAMS objected to this vote, unless an explana tion were given of the sum exceeding the amount acceded last year. Sir J. GRAHAM said that the excess was caused by the ap pointment of inspectors of the Penitentiary, instead of unpaid commissioners, and no one could doubt that the addition of 2001. a year to the salary of each would ensure better officers. Mr. HINDLEY said he never had been in prisons ge nerally, but had been often in Milbank Penitentiary—(Loud laughter)—and could testify to the admirable system adopted there; he wished, however, to ask the reason of the vote ex ceeding its predecessor, oven after the sum allotted to the inspectors. Sir .1. GRAHAM replied that the remaining sum was re quired for the purchase of books. The vote with the following were then agreed to :- 4,02'1 for criminal lunatics. 8,1 7 21. for the prisons and prison hoards in Scotland. 12,8101. to defray the law expenses in Scotland 69,1091. to defray the expenses •f criminal prosecutions and other law charges in Ireland. OR the next vote, which was 33,000/. to defray the charges of the Dublin police force, Mr. HINDLEY complained that this vote had increased annually. After a short discussion the ♦ote was agreed to ; as also were 74671. for defraying the expenses of the convict depot in Dublin ; 6,0001. for erecting a prison for criminal lunatics in Dublin ; 62,3501. f,4r defraying the expenses of convict hulks at home and abroad; and 250,0001. for defraying the expenses and superintendence of convicts in New S9uth Wales. Mr. WILLIAMS would like to know what description of convicts they were that cost the public so large a sum. Eir JAMES GRAHAM said the labour of convicts of the worst class was mostly unproductive. Many of them worked in chains. There wig another class of convicts more indus• rious and well-conducted, and which did not cost the country so much. Mr. EWART said the free people of Van Dieman's Land were indignant at the mode in which that colony had been treated, and which had disseminated the seeds of vice and anarchy throughout that island. The inhabitants were now preparing a petition against the rotation system, as it was called —a system, in truth, of probationary vice. Sir J. GRAHAM said, if the interests of the colony were alone consulted, he could net say that the present system was a good one, but it was quite plain they could not, in this country, accommodate the 5,000 convicts who were, on an average, annually transported, in the same manner as the prisoners in the Pentonviile prison, which was only capable of admitting 300 or thereabouts. The vote was then agreed to. 75,0001. was next proposed to defray the expenses of public education in Great Britain for 1845, which was postponed after a short discussion. 2,0061. was next proposed to defray the salaries of professors in Oxford and Cambridge, which was agreed to. 4,54d1. was proposed to be applied to the support of the Lon don University. Mr. WAKLEY advocated the establishment of a school of chemistry worthy of the country. He referred to the opinions of Professor Leibig o n th e su bj ect, who had stated that t h e science of chemistry in this country was in a miserable con dition. Sir R. PEEL considered that there was no necessity for the establishment of such a school, in addition to those already in existence. In the Universities of London and Edinburgh sufficient provision was made for giving efficient instruction in the science. 3 The l vote awas nest then proposed agreed to. and agreed to for the Irish Academy. 7,350/. was agreed to for the Scotch Univer s iti es 3001. was agreed to for the London Hibernian Ac.ademy. 5,550/, was proposed and agreed to for t h e Royal Dublin Society. 2,1101. was proposed for the Royal Belfast Institution, but after a short discussion it was withdrawn. 52,3201. was next proposed to defray the expense of re- British Muutuu. buijding sad Au t ameuting thg The vote was then agreed to, as were also 52,050/. for the building of the British Museum ; 6,217/ for the Collections of the British Museum ; and 1,500/. for defraying the expenses of the National Gallery. 8,850/. was proposed for the Museum of Economic Geology in Dublin. Mr. HAMILTON congratulated the House upon the gen tleman who had been appointed to superintend this institution Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said he fully concurred in the ob. servations of the Hon. Member opposite. The vote was then agreed to. 5,839/. for the observations at the Cape of Good Hope and Van Dieman's Land was next agreed to. The House then resumed. JOINT-STOCK COMPANY'S BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. THE GAMES AND WAGERS BILL, Mr. HAWES presented a petition from the licensed vic tuallers against this Bill. The Bill was adjourned till Monday. SLAVE TRADE (BRAZIL) BILL. Sir R. PEEL said, that in 1836. Brazil entered into an agreement with this country to declare that the slave-trade should be abolished, and that all vessels detected in that trade after that time and taken, should be declared guilty of an act of piracy. Mr. HUTT did not think that the means proposed by the Bill were sufficient for the purposes for which it was intended. After some discussion the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday ne x t. The Municipal Districts (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. The Land Revenue Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Tho report on the Bonded Corn Bill was ordered to be re ceived, after some objef•tions made by Mr. Hutt, in conse quence of the lateness of the hour, as he had been many nights watching the Bill, which was neither a pleasant nor a healthful occupation. The report on the Excise Duties on Spirits (Channel Islands) Bill was received. The Drainage (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Merchant Seamen Bill was, after some discussion, read a third time, and passed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at half-past two o'clock.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Chief Justice TINDAL.) THE INCENDIARY FIRES AT BRAINTREE —Alfred Coots, 16, Carpenter, and Isaiah Fish, 18, bricklayer, were indicted 'or wilfully and maliciously setting fire to three barns, two granaries, and other buildings, the property of Arthur Algernon, Earl of Essex, in the occupation of Richard Baynes, and also with setting fire to two stacks of wheat, the property of Richard Baynes. Messrs. Marsh and Hawkins conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Gray the defence. The trial created a good deal of interest, and occupied the Court until late in the evening. Mr. MARSH stated the case for the prosecution, and said that the principal evidence against the prisoner was the testi mony of a young man, who stood in the position of an accom plice; but as the prisoners had themselves made a statement almost amounting to a confession, he apprehended that the jury, notwithstanding the nature of the evidence in support of the prosecution, would entertain no doubt of the guilt of the prisoners. Mr. Richard Baynes, the prosecutor, deposed that he occu pied a farm called Rayne Lodge, in the parish of Rayne, near Braintree, which was the property of the Earl of Essex. A fire took place on his premises on Saturday night, the 16th of March, 1844, and before it could be extinguished, three large barns, two large wheat stacks, and five cattle sheds were completely consumed. The barns were full of grain, wheat, beans, and oats, and the value of the property destroyed was 1,5001. He added, that he was only insured to the amount of 8001., and he received that sum from the insurance office. Cross-examined—He knew nothing of the prisoners. The family were sitting at supper, about a quarter past nine o'clock, when the first alarm of the fire was given. William Wade, the approver, a lad of 18, was then examined. He deposed that he was a silk weaver, and lived at Braintree, and knew both the prisoners. He remembered the day of the fire at Mr. Baynes's, and was with both prisoners between 2 and 3 o'clock on that day, and they all walked together to Mr. Baynes's spring, where Fish told him and Coote to stop and he would go and see what sort of place it was to have a fire. After they had waited about five minutes, Fish came back and said it was as good a place as any to have a fire, for there were plenty of stacks and barns. They then all returned to the town, and met again at night at the Crown and Anchor beer shop, from which place they again went to the prosecutor's farm, and proceeded through a gap in the hedge to the barns, and stood by the side of one of them, in which there was a hole large enough for a man's fist to go through. Fish said that the hole was a good place for the fire to be put in, and Coote gave him his lueifer matches, which he tried to set on fire but could not do so. Coote then gave him two more matches which he also tried to light, but none of them would ignite, and upon this they all went back to the Star beer-shop at Braintree, where Coote was sent by Fish to purchase a box of lucifers. While witness was alone with Fish, he persuaded him not to set fire to the place, and told him that if he did he would be sure to be found out some day or other. When Coote returned with the lucifers, Fish told him that he (witness) would not go, and he added, " Come on, I'll go if you do, death or glory. I'll go and light it." At that time Coote had the box of matches in his hand, and they both went away together towards the residence of the prosecutor, which was about three-quarters of a mile off. This was between eight and nine o'clock in the evening. 114 (witness) remained behind at Braintree, and in about half-an hour after the prisoners had left him he heard the alarm of fire in the direction from Rayne, and he shortly afterwards ascer tained that the fire was at the prosecutor's. Witness after wards went to the fire, and saw the prisoner Coote there, and he said to him, " This is a good one, a'int it." There was another fire in the village on the following Monday, and wit ness saw both the prisoners the day afterwards, assisting in re moving some furniture from a field where it had been removed from the fire. Ceote asked him to help him, and at the same time said, " This was a rare flare up last night, but it was not so go ,d as the one I lit on Saturday night at Bay nes ' s ." Fi s h was by at the time this was said, and he added, " We went up to Baynes's on Saturday night, and I shoved my hand through the hole in the barn, and Coote then put a light to it." Coote afterwards said that when they had set the place en fire, they both ran away, and hid in the wood until they saw the people come to the fire. The witn ess th en said that Fish afterwards told him the same s t ory , an d t h at he (witness) was subse quently taken into custody upon the charge of being concerned in the fire, but was afterwards admitted to give evidence. Cross-examined—Witness was 18 years old. He now came from gaol to give evidence. He was not taken into custody upon this charge until a twelvemonth after the fire happened, and he did not tell the story he had just narrated until after he was in custody. He was not told th a t h e would b e adm i tte d Queen's evidence until last Friday, an d h e then stated al l h e knew. He was a t p resen t u n d er the charge of committing another fire himself, and had not been tried. John Andrews deposed that he knew the prisoners. He remembered the fires that took place at the prosecutor's, and at Mr. Scale's and Mr. Lacey's, and while in company with the prisoners, he remarked that "It was a curious job about they tires," and Coote said " We did them, only you must not say anything about it." Cross-examined—He was himself charged with two fires. He had been seven or eight weeks in gaol, and he did not tell this story mail last Friday. William Bradford, a person in the service of the prosecutor, proved that he remembered having observed such a hole as the one spoken of by th e approver Wade, in one of the barns, and that inside the barn close to the whole there was a quantity of dry .barley, which could, o f course , h ave b een eas i ly i gn i ted. He likewise stated that when he first heard the alarm of fire, the tames appeared to proceed from that portion of the barn where the hole was, John Dunn, one of the Essex constabulary, deposed that he apprehended the prisoner Fish on the 23d of May, and told him that he took him for the fires at Braintree, in 1844. He replied, " I dare say I shall be sent out of the country for those fires, and if I am, I cannot be sent to a much worse country than this." Everett, another constable p roved that he apprehended Coote on th e 1 2th May last, and while he wasin custody he told him th at h e was always dreaming about the fires, and that he had jumped up in the night, and was unable to get any sleep for them, an d when he was in London he always thought that he (witness) was after him. He likewise said that he, Wade, and Fi s h h a d d one all the fires at Bra i ntree . Witness subse quently took down his statement in writing. The statement was put in and read. It went to confirm in all material particulars the evidence of the approver Wade. This was the case for the prosecution. The Learned Counsel having addressed the jury for the prisoners, Lord Chief Justice TINDAL summed up, and the jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner s were di rectly calle d up for judgment, and sentenced to be t ransporte d for fifteen years . It was stated th at they had confesse d to having committed two distinct fire s , th ere b e i ng an ent i re a bsence on every case of any feeling of malice towards the owner of the property, and fo r mischief. appearing that th ey were mere l y ac t u ated by a desire mischief.

(Extract from the Times of 9th November, 1844, • - " Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly re spected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pampt let, entitled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' The Dublin Evening Packet, in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast experience in matters re lating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and pos.. sesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot:of very few per sons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condi tion of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much perhaps as any man in his time, to improve her resources, by encouraging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a wit ness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality, His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.'
