S',-ral Bills on the table ceie f,,ma - ded a stage, and tLc. q.)tve alj,,urned. V ;L:7ATI ( )N (IRELAND) v:IILL. ( 17ii.eed tree) ::reroute: Eib of yeeterilay.) Visesiurit CLE obj , eted to the Bill peoeeeding fur ther ; there were only Oiree Irish leenb. , r • in th.- douse, anti not more than sixteen Members altogeiher. He o ijected to the principle of the Bill from the cornrnencem,nt to its ter mutation. The Noble Lord then moved that the House be counted, and added that he would take every means in his power to defeat the Bill. M r . GREENE, the Cha irman of the Committee, then counted the House , an d there being only twelve - .letiabere present, he quitted the chair, and The e.PEAltea having entered the House, Mr. GREENE reported that he had counted it, and there were only twelve Members present. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and after rs in were - of about a qua rter of an hour, su ffi cient :Membean found to constitute a /louse. Upon the question that clause 5 stand part of the Bill, Lord CLEM F.N I'S objected to the motion, and said he would divide the House upon it. S-rangers were again ordered to withdraw, bet no division took place, in consequence of the Noble 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 request:ng the Noble Lord to allow the Bill to proceed, as it was really a measure calculated to do much good in Ireland, and it was necessary it should b., carried during the present session. He did rot think that the Noble Lord had fairly considered the provisions of the Bill. Sir R. FERGUSON trusted that the i-ionourable 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. On clause 15 being prnpos"d. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD moved that it be expunged, and that the following clause he inserted in its place :—" And be it enacted, that if any person or perste - is 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 it,. sessions. And be it enacted, that the justices and the as sist ii.t birrister before whom any app cal shall ;.e brought are hereby empowered and required to hear ant determine the t:;,ttfr of suet, avowal. and to make such order ihere.n as to ,::ern shad seem fit, whib4l order shall be float and conclusive upon all parties." Sir T. FEU.2.MANTLE 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 be 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 to 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 oug4lt to be well considered before it was finally determined upon. Sir T. FREMANTLE said he 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 tke 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 r. port was brought up and ordered to be received. Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented a petition in favour of the Teti Hours' Bill. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. Several Bills were brought up from 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 tile unanimous a pproval of both sides of the H He proposed that as he had several clauses and amendments to ad4l so 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 neat Monday in Committee. Mr. WA KLEY 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 sveggested by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, to know the character of the Bill as altered by him. Sir .1. GRAHAM considered the c ourse suggested by his Noble and Learned Friend the best that could be ode!) , ed, as Hon. Members would be possessed of tee printed amendments before their consideration being entered upon. The Bill was then read a second time, and committed pro formi, 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 the officer who had taken her into custody, and when her sister called in a few days after, she complained of the state in which she was, and requested that some soup might be given her. ( he Hon. Member read the statement made by the sister.) He timueht this a case of gross oppression—a girl confined during four days to a back room, chained to the grate ; and he thought that it called for Sir JAMES GRAHAM saidel that w to him the case referredwould to by the Hen. Gentleman was perfectly ne, but 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, lie would lay them so the table of the House, OTAHEITE. Captain PECHELL asked the Right Honourable and Gallant Baronet opposite (Sir George Cechburn) whether any intelligence had been received at the Admiralty relative to certain indignities which it was alleged, in a letter publi•hed in morning newspaper, had been offered to her Mejesty's ship Talbot ? The letter stated, that unless the captain of the Talbot adknowledet,ed the French protectorate, and saluted the French flag, she was forbidden any intercourse, except with the Salamander, station al 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 iu disgust, leaving the Salamander at Otaheite. Sir G. COCKBURN said that if the Gallant Officer had given notice of his ques tion 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 by the Gallant Officer. Captain PECHELL gave notice that he would repeat the question on Monday evening next. FLOGGING AT WINDSOR. 111 r. WAK LEY said he wished to ask the Right Hon Gentleman the Secretary at War a question arcing out of a report that appeared in the Morning Ciro/tide newspaper on Monday last, of two men having been fl tgged at Windsor. The men, it would appear, were flogged for refusing to strip naked is the presence of the other wee. 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. F,surteen of the men examined on the occasion in question were infected with this disease. The punishment was icflicted in consequence of their refusing to march to tke black-hole. and to obey the commands of the comraanding officer who ordered them there. He need not tell the House that it was essentially necessary that the commands of the officers should be implicitly obeyed. The commanding offieitr stated to the Teen that they had committed a most serious offence and commanded them to lw confmed for f :rty- eight hours , and when the order was given th 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 give 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 th em back to the guard-room and again remonstrated with them, but they still pers:sted in their refusal. The officer having heard the statement of the surgeon, and the f ee li ng w hich was displayed toward his orders, then elmost immediately convened a court martial which awarded ie puniehment. He had stated these c ircuneitsme s, because wished that there should be oo false impression with regard to the ease. Mr. V‘ILLIAMS said that the Right Hon. Ge ntleman had not answered th e most important part of the question—name l y , whether it was presenceusual that the soldiers should be each other'snsuch numbers. i nspec ted in 111 r. S. HERBERT' said that it was customary in the army that there should b e a strict examination h.fot e the surgeon, and it was also customary that they should be o r d e red to bathe together. The inspecti on generally took place in the room of the men in the morning. Mr. WA KLEY believed that there was nothing more re. manhood stark than pu'sive to the common feeling of hould undergo such an examination that soldiers Tht t i h nt what were Fence of a laree company of soldiers. tie knew not soldiersat the effect in the pre *he arrangements in the army, but he thou e at would he very dangerous. There were sevettt pre sent confined in one of the metropolitan gaols i y n con misconduct, and he thought the practice which was ;r ea r " n of resorted to, tended to destroy the feeling which should exist leae in t the army. RECOMPENCE FOR SERVICES IN CHINA. Captain BERKELEY rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice for a Committee of the whole House, to consider the propriety of an address to her Majesty, humbly requesting th a t she would b e graciously pleased to grant a pecuniary recompense to the officers, sea men, soldiers, and mar ines, engaged in the operations against the Chinese Empire, in the years 1840, 1841, and 1812,, ,The Hon. Member then called the attention of thedon u seHose to a Alittonierial presented to the House by lir. Gor r allowing the amount of money that had been taken during the war in China, and contending that the growth; laid in rnenaorial,were .ufficient to show that the me moriali.t was en titled, tn af frize money. He neat referred t o w hat he called the author - 41af the "greatest warrior of the age," to show that the ar ssslc ili that Lad taken place in China were in fact a war. --a --:A r ♦ rnlaiarr_ although possessed of VA'S The vote was then agreed to, as were also 52,0501. for the building of the British Mu seum ; 6,2171 for the Collections of the British Museum ; and 1,500/. for defraying the expenses 1 of the National Gallery. - 8,5501. was proposed for the Museum of Economic Geology in Dublin. Mr. HAMILTON e mgratulated the House upon the gen tleman who had been appointed to superintend this institution. Fir. M. J. O'CONNELL said he fully concurred in the ob. servations of the Hon. Member opposite. The vote was then agreed to. 5,8391. 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. Sirß. 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. Sir. 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 next. The Municipal Districts (Ireland) Bill was read a second •••••••••••••••••...... allo.ll • considerable pl uner, bad notsquandered it, and had shown themselves Ike fri d s ends of the people whom they had con mere& This was the testimony of one of the mernhers of the Governtree at, and he would call the attention f Honour able Membe'e 3 to it. They had been regularly in the habit of allowing the aerlian army not only batta, but also that which they took eiertt stroyed while engaged in warfare. Would they treat the arms.y of China wore than that of India, or would they deprive thw array of Sinde of that bounty hit• erto awarded the armies of India for successful warfare ? S here ought to be no such dis Unction made. The Chinese army had been engaged in lon tg and arduous warfare, and had carried out some of the rn, sot brilliant achievements that ever had been accomplished 1 sy British arms. The Gallant Member then went into a sk etch 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 Von. Member then read a letter from Captain Grey, detailing the sufferings of the men during the year 1840. Now, there were men who were for voting to make their way into the interior of China, with the evidence of this mortality before them. When they bad 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 100/. to 200/., and the petty officers had 41. 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. Sorely . 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 4/. 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 already rec e ive d 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 Hou se 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 t h e 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 had 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 1 hope that the House would acknowledge the justice of ti a 1 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 originally proposed had been awarded. He thought that the present motion was perfectly justiCable. There were feelings of duty which might sometimes overawe the libe,al feelings of the Government ; but he could assure the Rigtt Hon. Gentleman opposite that the Ministry heti not exercised the liberality of the Crown to a sufficient extent. It was all very well to say that sailors and soldiers were led to acts of bravery 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 consider 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 bad 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 prise-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 short 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 employer'. 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 unerateful 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 been 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 PLUMRIDGE 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 bees 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 6B 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 snswer 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 BERN MID said he could speak from personal expe rience that many of the churches of the coanty 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 then 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 tat 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 3 ),000/. ,as then proposed to defray the salaries of the officers connected with the Insolvent Debtor's Court. The vote was agreed to. The sum of 1800/. 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 18,000/. 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 of 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. Mr. HINDLEY wished to know what was the amount of salary received by the chaplain and medical officer ? Mr. CA RD WELL said that the chaplain received 4001 per year ; the assistant chaplain 2001. ; the medical officer 3001. ; and the resident surgeon leo/. Mr. HINDLEY thought this monstrous.—( A laugh.) At that rate the chaplain had 11. 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. 28,1181. 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 ime. 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 objeotions made by Nlr. 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. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Comma.) FRIDAY, JULY 18. SUPPLY. Order for Committee read ; Motion made, and Question proposed, " That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair :"—Amendment pro posed, to leave out from the word " That" to the end of the Question, in order to add the words " this House wilt, upon Wednesday, the 231 day of this instant July, resolve itself into a Committee, for the purpose of considering the propriety of an Address to her Majesty, humbly requesting that she will be graciously pleased to take into consideration the claims for further pecuniary recompense of the Officers, Seamen, Soldiers, and Marines engaged in the operations against the Chinese Empire, in the years 1840, 1841, and 1842," in stead thereof; --Question put, " That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question."

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 hthfficee Chinese Government. Yet, in making recompence to e o rs 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 valise 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 respect 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 hate been inconvenient, and pregnant with cause of dissatis faction to adopt any other principle. 'I he Hon. Gentleinan 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 woulld 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 ease. 420,000/. 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 recompenee 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 C. 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 Gove-n -ment.—( Hear.) The Right Hors. Gentleman sail that there was no war, and there coul,t 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 bsen declared, and now, he said that the Chinese junks were not prizes because 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, contracting 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 a-' action of about three hours. At Algiers, for a work also of a few hours, a very large sum was vi ted 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 affiir at Syria 13/. was allotted ; while for the China war of three years 41. was given for one year, and in all about 16/. was granted, because they were told, after hard fighting 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, bit no prize money.—( Hear, hear.) But, by the present system, the petty officers, one of the most 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 boys. It was all very wen to talk of the sailors fighting for honour and glory, but no man would be found to accept war on such terms ; every British sailer 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 thou,and other ac • par C t a o p f ta t i l n w f l o ' r E c C es H e E m L o L oye a d d i v n oc t a h t e ed ch t i h n e ese el w ai a m r tions in the service of a foreign foe ?—( Hear.) s a e n f d e t t he e n n e d v e a t l i that the officers and seamen were entitled to compensation , for the property they had lost, and the diseases, from feve r and other sources, which they had suffered in the inclement ' c'im al t of the country in which they had been employed. The ae Bri tish seaman had been put on a lower level than the India n sepoy by the mode of distribution of prize money. 420,000/. did appear a large sum as batta money to be distributed, but it it was not generally known how many had to participate• . He considered that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not treated the motion of his Hun. Friend with suffieient courtesy. Sir R. PEEL said h e 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. N?coesne whichhaaeen bee t s more highly than he ( Sir R. Peel) the servi in China. olive l The services which rendered by the army an d nav y had been rendered were of a most pecu thanshould the thd try to make an impression on the Chinese before taki n g p ossession of the land, and preserve and protect the commercial interests as far as possible. The sum to be obtained from the Chinese was partly to be expended in discharge of the debts of the Hong merchants. and the remainder to be applied to the disburse ot of the"expenses of the war. The sum that had been ac tually paid for remuneration of services money. He would of remu neration was 420 ,0001 . , which was known by the name of batta" con tend that th e su bj ect ought to be left to the ration for services of that nature with which it would be discretion of the Crown's preroga tive, dangerous to interfere. Mr. WILLIAMS thought that the speech of the Hon. and Gallant Member had b een Ministry. He must say that completely answered by the pressed to a division, would bee motion before the House, if a After so liberal a reward as 420,0001. offered unwise proceedine. the naval and mility services rendered, noet by the Crown for r ' further remunera ti o n ought to be made. Lord PAL NIERSTON said the motion of his Honour able and Gallant Friend was not without example. In the case of Navarino a s imilar motion had been made, and eventually a larger remuneration t , haq 13ad been year. Sir J. GRAH All said that the excess was caused by the ap pointment of inspectors of the Penitentiary, instead of unpaid commissioners, and no one could d )übt that the addition of 2001. a year to the salary of each would ensure better officers. Mr. 111NOLEY 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, even after the sum allotted to the inspectors. Sir J. GRAHAM replied that the remaining sum was re quired for the purchase of books. The vote with the folios ing were then agreed to :- 4,02 1. for criminal lunatics. 8,1721. for the prisons and prison hoards in Scotland. 12.810/. to defray the law expenses in Scotland 69,1091. to defray the expenses of criminal prosecutions and other law charges in Ireland. Oct the next vote, which was 33,0001. to defray the charges of the Dublin police force, Mr. HINDLEY complained that this vote had increased annually. After a short discussion the vote was agreed to ; as also were 7,2671. for defraying the expenses of the convict depot its Dublin ; 6,000/ for erecting a prison for criminal lunatics in Dublin ; 62,3501. fur defraying the expenses of convict hulks at home and abroad ; and 250.0001. for defraying the expenses and superintendence of convicts in New South Wales. Mr. WILLIAMS would like to know what description of convicts they were that cost the public so large a sum. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the labour of convicts of the worst class was mostly unproductive. Many of them worked in chains. There was another class of convicts more indus trious 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 not 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 Pentonvioe 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. s n tw i r ve A r w s Ko s t r y Lt Mr. . worthy yy o f 2,006!. w as next propose d t o d e f ray th e salaries of professors in Oxford and C am b r id ge , which was agreed to. 4,5461. w as p ropose d to b e app li e d to t h e sup p o rt of the Lon don U a t d h v e o c c o a i t i e n d t r y. the H e establishment referred to o t f h a e school opinio n o s o of chemistry „a y Professor Leibig on the subject, ' whohad stated that the science of chemistry in this country was is a miserable con dition.

(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 ',atop!. 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.'

CROWN COURT.—(Before Chief Justice Tiernan.) THE INCENDIARY FIRES AT BRAINTREE —Alfred Coote 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 oe.eupation 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, ho 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 1,500/. He added, that he was only insured to the amount of 8001., and be 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, aid 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, aid 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 hut 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 pureha.e tt 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 lf 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. He (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 after.% ards 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 some furniture i p t r u i r s prisoners e fromr st hae fielddsy afterwards, wh ereit had assisting be en removedin r emovingnlu putnsht i o a e t from the fire. Cote asked him to help him, and at the same time said, " This was a rare flare up last night, but it was not i w e a o n t o h d i e so go das the one 1 lit on Saturday night at Baynes's." Fish was by at the time this was said, and he added, " We went up the et 1 h d h a ro y al n ne e ia s n ' w s ta o hy n : S ae bn a ad t r u nh r , d i daa and dn n i ct g ho h eo t afterwards said that when they had set the place en fire, they ~t hrc o o t io g t h e come to the fire. The witness then said that Fish afterwards told him the same story, and that he (wituess) was subse quently taken into custody upon the charge of being concerned saw the people in the fire, but was afterwards admitted to give evidence. Cross-examined—Witness was 16 years old. He now came from gaol to give evidence. He was not taken into custody upon this charge until a twelvemonth after the Are happened, and he did not tell the story he had just narrated until after he was in custody. He was not told that he would be admitted Queen's evidence until last Friday, and he then stated all he knew. He was at present under 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 fires," 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 until last Friday. lightll emyy hand n i t d . 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 .he 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, of course, have been easily ignited. He likewise stated that when he first heard the alarm of fire, the dames 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. Ile " 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 told him that he was 1 d country than this." Everett, another constable, proved that he apprehended Coote on the 12th May last, and while he was in custody he a ways rea e he had jumped up in the night, and was unable to get any sleep m ine about the fires, and that for them, and when he was in London he always thought that he (witness) was after him. He likewise said that he, Wade, and Fish had done all the fires at Braintree. 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 J us ti ce Tiernan slimmed up, and the jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoners wer e di r ectly called up for judgment, and sentenced to be transported for fifteen y ears. , ' It was stated that they had confessed to having committed two distinct fires, there being an entire absence on every case of any feeling of malice towards the owner of the property, an for d it appearing that they were merely actuated by a desire he mischief. ------ ADVERTISEMENT.—CURE OF A CASE OF INDIGES TION, WITH CONSTIPATED BOWELS, BY POLLOWAY'S Pmts.—Extract of a letter from G.
