A number of petitions were presented in favour of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill; also others praying that the Bill might be made more efficient. Mr. REYNOLDS presented a petition from the com mittee of Irish manufacturers, praying for some mea sure to relieve the distress now existing among the poor of Ireland. Mr. HUME presented a petition, praying for the re peal of all duties pressing on newspapers ; also petitions from places in Scotland, complaining of the Bible monopoly. Mr. C. LUSHINGTON presented a petition from Everton, near Liverpool, praying for a discontinuance of the Regium Donum.

This Bill was brought iu by Sir G. GREY, read a first time, and or d ere d to b e read a second time this day Week. VANCOUVER'S ISLAND. Mr. DUNDAS wished to ask the Under -Secretary for the Colonies whether a recent change has not taken place in the office of Governor of Vancouver's Island; and if so, with whom the appointment of governor rests, with the Hudson's Bay Company, or with the Noble Lord the Colonial Secretary. Also, if there are any re turns of the number of colonists to Vancouver's Island, or of the quantity of land sold there? Mr. HAWES said the Governor of the colony had certainly resigned, and the appointment of his successor rested with the Secretary of State for the Colonies, who was waiting to receive some recommendation from the company before he filled up the vacancy. With regard to the latter part of the question, he was unable to supply the information, as the company had not yet made their returns on the subject. MR. DILLON, Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR wished to ask the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, did not Mr. Dillon most fully „ rr y out the printed instructions of the Lords of the Treasury to the Preventive W a t er G uard Service in Ireland under his commission; and where there be now no charge whatever against M r. Dillon, and that he fully did his duty, upon what ground the Lords of the Treasury refuse him his claims for the capture of the American smuggling brig Peru, of New York, wh ere such vessel was condemned, by law, as his capture; and what more was required of Mr. Dillon by the Lords of the Treasury's printed instructions to establish his claims to such capture than as directed to insert the occurrence in the journal of the station he com manded, and forthwith to officially report it for their Lordships' information, which report was acknow ledged by their Lordships, with a letter of thanks to Mr. Dillon for his conduct, directing him to read such to his crew under his command? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this subject had repeatedly been brought forward in the House du r i ng t h e l as t t w enty y ea r s , an d as often disposed of. That was the only answer he could give. CRUELTY ON THE COAST. Sir E. N. BUXTON drew the attention of the Hon. Gentleman the Under-Secretary for the Colonies to a case of cruelty which occurred on the coast of Africa four years ago. A negro named Earskine, who had been in the service of an English officer named Murray, was suspected of having stolen some ornaments, and was cruelly tortured by his master, and another officer named Stuart. It was afterwards discovered that Ears kine was not the thief, but that the property had been stolen by a soldier under the command of the master. He wished to know whether any proceeding had been taken against the officers for their conduct, and secondly whether it was intended to make the negro any compen sation for his ill-usage? Mr. HAWES replied that the case was now under the consideration of the Commander-in-Chief, who alone could deal, with it so far as the officers were concerned. With regard to the latter question the Colonial -office had no power to make the negro any compensation, but he had a remedy in the courts of law. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. On the order of the day being read for resuming the adjourned debate on the Eccelesiastical Titles Bill, Mr. REYNOLDS move d t h at t h e H ouse at it rising should adjourn until Monday. The SPEAKER intimated that the Hon. Member could not make such a motion after the order of the day had been resd.—(Hear.) Mr. REYNOLDS—Then I move that this debate be now adjourned. The SPEAKER—The Hon. Member haring already spoken he cannot move the adjournment of the debate. —(Laughter and cheers.) After the presentation of a considerable number of petitions against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, The House divided on the motion for going into Com mittee on the Bill, when there appeared— For going into Committee ... ... 116 Against it ••• ... 35 Majority for going into Committe© —Si On re entering the gallery we found that the House had gone into Committee, with Mr. BERNAL in the chair. On the question that the preamble be postponed, Mr. KEOGH rose to move that the preamble should be taken first, for he contended that at present the House had not before it the Bill by which the Government meant to stand or fall. He thought it would be more desirable that the 'Bill should be printed in its new form, in order that the country might see what its nature was. Lard JOHN RUSSELL said he could not accede to the proposition of the Hun. Gentleman, because it was now some time since the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Department had stated what alterations the Government meant to propose in the Bill, and the House by this time was perfectly aware of them. With respect to the other alterations, the opinion of her Majesty's Government would depend in a great measure on what took place in the course of the debate ; and as far as regarded the amendments of the Hon. and Learned Member, he (the Noble Lord) certainly desired the Attorney -General to communicate with the Hon. was, Learn e d G entleman to ascertain what their nature and to expr ess t h e op i nion of the Government upon them ; but the result of that had certainly not been to come to any agreement on the subject of the amend ments. Mr. DISRAELI said that the n P osit"l of the House with respect to th e amendments hadce o r y tainl been very much changed since th e recent declaration by the Lord, that the rescript of the Pope appointing Cardinal Wiseman was part and parcel of a great conspira c y against the civil and religious lib ert i es of the country. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that what he had stated was that it was part of a conspiracy to prevent the extension of civil and religious liberty in Europe, and that it was dreaded that the influence of this coun try would be used to assist that extension. Mr. DISRAELI said he was willing to accept the Noble Lord's correction, and with that he would say that it was the most important statement which had fallen from a Prime Minister during the present century. Th 6 question was then, whether the Bill now before them was calculated to meet such a conspiracy,and he thought it was a marked characteristic of the Bill that it did not meet the grievance which was complained of. The first thing which they should have done would have been to have dealt with the arch-conspirator himself; it was the duty o f the Government to have secured his removal, to, have met th e consp i racy i n a manner w hi c h wou ld s hew that this country was determined to baffle it. But, ins tead (4 that, Government had adopted a course ' tla c u l i l t e e d the reverse. In the first place, they had making the slightest reference t o th e causes that demande.ztleit, and th e f orm o f l eg i s l at i on there fore which h like petty they yu recommended assu me d some thi ng persecution.—(Hear, hear.) N ow , if Parliam ent had the removal o f su PPorted the Minist er i n secur i ng the head of the conspiracy against civil and religious libert if the Minister had laid down a principle for itsyleoisaion, which would have brought under the constitutocontrol of the Sovereign all those who assumed civil oraleccesstical titles from petty without havin g re rom foreign petty mode of legislating they i e ra a t indicated the would have to this Wou o l r a s, h a n d laid honour of the country, baffled the cons down a principle of legislation vvhi e h l3 pre vented a recurrence of the insult. He now came toatvhe con sideration of the various amendments before theme - reference to these circumstances. These with amendments were considerable in number, but though considerable in number, they combine themselves under two heads. There were those that took the right course, that sought to connect their legislation with the cause that had produced it, and which in the Government scheme, was studiously concealed, which recognised what h a d oc curred as a politi ca l e vil, and which sought to apply a political remedy. There were, on the other band, amend menets of a very different kind, which attemp ted to make that fficient legislation which was essentially ineffective, which did not seek to connect the i r l eg i s lation with the circumst ances that h a d o cca sioned it, which did not seek to appl y a political remedyto a political evil, but, on the 'Contrary following up what be thought to b ut, the erroneou n-OlicyoftheGovernment. Now all those amend s ' and declared vents, ELro which were open and independent, and the country the reason why they were undertakingpethts legislation, and which would 1 make the Bill what it re I t tought to be, . I a retaliatory act, intended to preventa recurrence of a gross in sult—those amendmenats which proposed to apply a poli tical remedy end' amendineuts Political evil, he should support. The other . were sanctioned by the Honourable Gentlemen who wished the Bill to apply to England without extending i t to Ireland. Now under no circumstances would he consent to l legislation to England without extendi ng it to Irealppd The question before them was, how th ey could mai an y ' the supremacy of the Sovereign. That was the , h um' 1 only real question before them, and to answer it by day they inc , would as ser t t h e aut h or iks- of the Sovereign in One e r - t of the kin g d om w i t h out ex t e r ding it to the other to foll ow. would a be a most impolitic end injurious course Now the second class of amendments partook very much of that character, and therefore, in coming into C OOl . mittee on this Bill, he felt it to be his duty to support any amendment, from whatever side of the House it cam e , which coped with the real question they were called upon to legislate against. He should support those amendments which, as became a great nation, declared the reasons why they took the step t h e y were now about to consummate, and he should support all those amendments which would make the Bill a retalia tory act, so as to vindicate the honour of the Crown, baffle the conspirators, and assert and maintain the real cause of civil and religious liberty.—(Hear, hear.) He could not, however, feel it expedient to support amendments the only object of which was to render efficient that which was essentially inefficient. The scheme of the Government was not only inefficient, but vexatious too, and calculated, he thought, to produce general disgust and disaffection, and not at all likely to vindicat e th e h onour of the country , or to baffle the conspiracy w hi c h , accord i ng to the announcem ent of the Minister, was now threatening the civil and re ligious liberty of the land.—(Hear, hear.) to L d o eo rd lar J e . t l h ll.l o S o S o E ur L so L o d f eni t e h d eir th l a e t e t s h l e ati ß on d . l li m e omitted not think that the question could be explained Honourable Government considered the words suggested by the Hon. Member for Midhurst, t whichmore clearly was p t r h o a p n o s e i d n t h b e y w his r i s d s Rightof the _ The e tter U c E o r n ie si h d d ered (Sir that Gee it rge wou G ld rey) b . e but instead of placing them in the preamble of the Bill to incorporate them in a separate clause. If the Bill were passed, and any person openly assumed titles in contravention of the law, it would be the duty of the Government to put the law into operation. The CHAIRMAN asked if it would be for the conve nience of the Committee that the preamble should be postponed ? Mr. KEOGH considered that the preamble should be ' first taken in order. The Noble Lord had said that he had abandoned his own preamble to the Bill. KEOGH—Then on a n t d h e L ea Lord JOHN RUSSELL — N o. rn Noble ed Lord b a e d er o forpte dthe pre M am r. lele3the Mid hurst—was not that so? Lord J. RUSSELL had said that there were certain words proposed by the Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. Walpole) which he intended to adopt, but pt, it was as a distinct clause. Mr. KEOGH understood the Noble Lord to say that he intended to introduce a further recital into the pre amble. Was not that true?—(Hear.) Then the Noble Lord said that he preferred the adoption of words sug gested by the Hon. and Learned Member for Mid hurst. It was little matter whether these words were in the preamble or in a clause. The Noble Lord de clared that he intended to make serious alterations in his own Bill—(Hear, hear)—that he intended to leave out the second, third, and fourth clauses; and that the Government would have a Bill with one clause, and that there were other words to be introduced either as a pre amble or as a clause. Now, he put in to the House whether they (the Irish Members) were called upon to take any one step with respect to this Bill in its present shape, and that, too, without being informed what was precisely the Bill which the Noble Lord intended to stand by.—(Lond cheers.) The Hon. Member for Somerset, who had voted for the Bill, had informed him that if there were no other person in that House to make the motion he would move that the Bill should be reprinted. Before they went one step further he said the Bill ought to be reprinted.—(Hear, hear.) Again he put it to the Noble Lord whether it was fair to the Roman Catholics to persist in such a course as this. They were bound not to allow the Noble Lord to go for ward with his Bill in its present shape and form. The objections here were made for no purpose of delay; the object was, on the contrary, to secure a fair and legiti mate progress with the measure before them—to have that measure put in a clear and intelligible manner be fore them. It was not, he said, fair to that House, it was not fair to the Roman Catholics, it was not fair to the country, to attempt forcing on a discussion upon a Bill which was not before them in a clear and intelli gible form.—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL wished, he said, to make a pro posal to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, which, if he should adopt, he (Lord J. Russell) would certainly abide by. What he proposed to do was to leave out the clauses to which he had before referred—to retain the first clause—to adopt as a clause that part of the preamble of the Hon. Member (Mr. Walpole) to which he had before referred; then he put the preamble in the state in which the Secretary of State said he was willing to have it; to have the Bill printed and then to go into Com mittee on Monday, on the understanding that there would be no debate on the question that the speaker leave the chair. If the Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member for Midhurst would also consent to go into Committee with the Bill as the Government proposed it, then, he said, he should be willing to take that course. Mr. KEOGH said the Noble Lord had made what he was not prepared to say was not a very fair proposi tion, as he understood the Noble Lord merely proposed that the Bill should be reprinted ; but that when before them it would be open to them to offer any oppo sition which they thought was called for. Lord J. RUSSELL said the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman had entirely explained his meaning. When the Bill was reprinted, the whole question would be open for discussion.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. GRATTAN protested strongly against this insane and trumpery species of legislation, and was proceeding to inveigh with considerable acrimony against the Go vernment, when he was interrupted by cries of " Order." He retorted by saying there was no order in his country, and called upon Lord John Russell not to include Ire land in the operation of the Bill. They were sending off regiments to the Cape, but there was far more ne cessity to order them to Ireland to protect Roman Ca tholics from the attacks of Orangemen.—(Laughter.) Mr. WALPOLE stated that he considered the course proposed by the Noble Lord a reasonable one. What they were now doing was going through the Committee pro forma to enable the Government to reprint the Bill, and accordingly the House would have before it the Bill in that form by which the Government intended to abide. —(hear.) That proposition he considered a reasonable one. The Bill, as he understood it, would contain cer tain words of his preamble as its first clause; that which was now the first clause would be the second clause, and then the second, third, and fourth clauses would be struck out, and the Bill in that amended form would then came before them—(Hear)—leaving open to him to sug gest any amendments he might think needful. Ile ad mitted that there were great difficulties as to the in former's clause; bat he must stay that he found it diffi nult to accede to the Government proposition, and even to his own amendment without some modifications. With reference to an observation made by the Hon. Member (Mr. H. Grattan), he said that if the Hon. Member would convince him that in anything he pro posed there would be an interference with the spiritual functions of Roman Catholic bishops and clergy, he would give up his amendments.—(Hear, hear.) He would, he declared, propose no amendment that would interfere with the spiritual functions of the Roman Ca tholics.—(Hear.) Mr. MOORE considered it was unnecessary for the . Noble Lord in making his proposition to lay down a condition as to the proceedings on Monday. They con ceived that an honourable understanding had been come to, and the Irish Members would be the last in that House to break it. Mr. M. GIBSON suggested that the preamble might be altogether omitted. Mr. NEWDEGATE wished to know from the Noble Lord whether he was about to take any steps with re spect to the appointment of legates by the Popo in England and Ireland, as the functions of such persons were purely of a temporal character. Sir F. THESIGER suggested that there should be no further discussion. It would be open for his Honourable Friend in Committee to propose any provision he deemed necessary to meet the difficulty and inconvenience he re ferred to. If the Government did not adopt his view, then his Hon. Friend could propose an amendment of his own. In Committee, he suggested, that in this, as in all other Billie the preamble should be postponed until the clauses were agreed to. After a few words from Mr. J. REYNOLDS, Lord J. RUSSELL suggested that it was better to reserve any further discussion on the subject until Monday. The amendments were then inserted in the Bill, and the House having resumed, the Bill was ordered to be i re-committed on Monday. COAL WHIPPERS' BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of the Coalwhippers (Port of London) Bill, Mr. HUME asked the Ministers to consider whether the Bill was not opposed to the whole tenor of the free trade policy—whether they ought not to see that the pre sent system was injuring the coasting trade by transfer ring the traffic to the carrying trade of the interior ? The Bill was then read a second time. COMMITTEE OF MORTMAIN. Mr. J. O'CONNELL moved that the &lect Coin mitteo on Mortmain do consist of 18 Members ; that Mr. Mouse)), Mr. Napier, and Mr. Keogh be added to the Committee. Mr. HEADLAM said he was the perso❑ on whose motion the Committee was formed; as he did not direct it against any particular religious community, he him self had no objection whatever. Sir G. GREY said that the House had at an early period of the present session agreed that the number of Members forming Select C omm itt ees s h ou ld b e re d uce d to fifteen; and he thought that that rule should not bo departed from without some special circumstances being assigned as a reason for that coarse, as the rule bad been r 4tcl• to work well in securing the punctual attendance from th f,?_ Members. —Tile Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY said there soiftttihneg,s,onneni; ""e aPecial circumstances which called for the departure strule t which was asked fur.

RUSSELL said, if the Noble Lord (Lord Arundel Arundel and Surrey) were disearged from attendance on the Committee, he saw no objection to the name o f another Catholic Member being substituted, The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY suggested that the name of Mr. Keogh be substituted for his own, Mr. J.

On the motion that the House at its rising adjourn to Monday next, Sir B. HALL wished to call the attention of the Chief Commissioner of Sewers to a few facts of an extraordi nary nature with which be had become acquainted, as to the conduct of business in the Court of the Commis sioners. They had jurisdiction over 8,500,0001. of pro perty for the purpose of levying rates, they had levied a very large amount of rates, and their liabilities were enormous. According to the Actander which the Com mission was constituted, they were bound to keep minutes and records of all their proceedings with their seal at tached, and although their Court was a court of record, he found, on applying at their office, that they had no record in their minute-book whatever of their proceed ings from the 11th of October last to the present time. Why, there was not a parochial vestry in the metropolis that would dare to take such a step. They had levied a rate of 110,000/. on property of the value of 4,000,000/. sterling, and yet when he and his Noble Friend the Member for Bath (Lord Ashley), who accompanied him on the occasion, inquired as to the record or minute of that proceeding, they found that no entry had been made of it in the minute-book, and when he asked the officers to see their manuscript minute-book, he was handed a rough bit of paper, without any date or signature to verity the order for levying that large rate; and the paper, such as it was, was taken by the clerk from amongst a confused mass of other papers, and he stated that he did not know whether it was a minute belonging to the proceedings of the committee or of the court; but after some consideration the clerk concluded that it belonged to the court. On his (Sir B. Hall's) asking the secretary how it was possible that the business could be conducted in such a way, that officer made the ex traordinary statement that the minutes of proceedings were sent round to the different Commissioners, and that he was obliged to trust to his memory for recording the proceedings. That was the way the business of this extraordinary Commission was conducted. His Noble Friend and himself spent two hours and thirty-five minutes in examining the mode of doing business by the Commission, and it required the secretary, the solicitor, and eight clerks of the board, to produce the papers for them, in so hopeless and inextricable and disgraceful a state of confusion were they. Would the House believe that there was no entry whatever in the book of a resolution of the Court passed within the last few weeks recommending that a sum of 10,000/. be borrowed at five per cent. for fire years? Having desired to see the minutes of the Court from January Ist to the present time, the answer of the secretary was, " that those minutes had not been entered." He (Sir B. Hall) then desired to see the rough minutes, and the secretary said, " I will give them to you, sir, but lam afraid that you will not be able to make anything of them, they are so mixed up together," and certainly he never saw documents in such a dis graceful state of confusion. He would advise any rate payer who might be then listening to him to go to the office and judge for himself of the way in which things were done. In order that there might be no doubts as to the accuracy of what he was now stating, he read over the statement of facts which he now laid before the House to the secretary, asking him, at the same time, if he (Sir B. Hall) was mistaken on any one point. He did that in order that any contradiction that might come might be not against his words or that of his Noble Friend, but against those of' the secretary. And yet, with such a state of thing., the Noble Lord (Lord Ebrington), in reply to a question of his a short time back, stated with the utmost sang froid that a rate of one million sterling on one side of the Thames, and a million and a half on the other side of the river, was to be levied for the purposes of improvement. He must also mention a matter which affected that House. The Commissioners having ordered their surveyor, Mr. Joseph Smith, to make a report on the Victoria tiewer, he (Sir B. Hall) having heard something respecting that report which excited his attention, moved in the House for a copy of it; but instead of the original report of the surveyor which had been ordered by the House to be produced, an amended counter -report, which had been made by the engineer of the Commission, was produced instead. He trusted that what he had said would in duce her Majesty's Government to take some steps with regard to this Commission, for it was a disgrace to the metropolis. The manner in which the Commissioners kept their minutes had led to one lamentable result, which was this—that whereas the liabilities of the lor• mer Commissioners amounted when they came into office to 58,195/., the liabilities of the present Commis sioners, owing to their miserable management, amounted now to 135 , 34 21.—(Hear, hear.) His Noble Friend shook his head; but he (Sir B. Hall) held the document in his hand, and the fact upon the face of it could not be denied. Lord EBRINGTON—So be it. Sir B. HALL—His Noble Friend said "so be it," but the people had got to pay for it.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department would, in accordance with the wishes expressed by deputations at the Home-office, and by certain of the metropolitan Members who had asked questions respecting the Commission in that House, bring in a Bill for the purpose of suppressing this useless, this extravagant Commission, and of placing the Com missioners of Sewers upon a better footing; fur consider ing that there were eight millions and a half of property upon which these men raised assessments, it was per fectly monstrous that their powers of raising so large a sum should be of an irresponsible character.—(Hear.) It his Noble Friend could deny the accuracy of these statements let him do so; but, if he denied that, let him recollect that he denied the statements of his own secre tary, not what be had read, because what he had read had been taken down and authenticated at the office of the Commissioners of Sewers.—(Cheers.) Lord EBBING TON said ho had to solicit from the House that indulgence which they always ex tended to those who had to answer such charges has had been made on the present occasion. —(Hear, hear.) With the exception of the last sentence but one of the Hon. Baronet—that in which he expressed a wish that the Commission should be placed on a better footing—there was no other single statement which he should not be obliged to deny, or give a different colour to, in the course of his examination. Now, the first charge which had been made was, that the Commissioners attended hardly at all to the business of the Commission. Upon this point he had to refer the Hon. Baronet to the Act, which stated that the Commissioners should hold one meeting in the month; twelve meetings in the year. This was the total number of meetings required by the Act of Parliament to be held. The Commissioners were only twelve in number, half of whom, by the clumsy legislation of that House, were required to be present to constitute a quorum. The Hon. Baronet would see, on reference, that the number of courts held last year was 32, aged that the number of Comnaitteeei was ?7.—(Hear.) Phis gave an average of rather more than two courts for every month. These courts were not primarily for the consideration of the business of the Com mission; they passed those orders and decisions which the Commissioners, after mature discussion and consideration, had previously agreed upon; and, there fore, every single hour spent in these courts represented a far greater number of hours spent in the deliberation and consideration of the business of the Commission.— (Hear, hear) Now, in order to give the House some idea of the mass of business frequently transacted at one single court, it was not necessary to state that the printed minutes (90 and 100 pages in length) had fre quently to be copied with the formal minutes of the proceedings of a single Committee, and that the same number of pages had to be copied with the original minutes.—(Hear, hear.) The Commissioners, in addi Lion to their other arduous duties, were a court of jus tice also, entrusted with very large and complicated jurisdiction. In the courts at Westminster the few short words of the judges " For the defendant," had to be translated by the officer of the court into a longer minute; and in like manner a long translation had also to be made at the office of the Commissioners of Sewers. What was the course adopted by a very analogous body to the Commissioners —namely, the Court of Quarter Sessions, which consisted of a body of justices executing important works, taxing the public, and at the same time passing judicial sentences. The Hon. Member for Oxfordshire (Mr. Henley) knew that in the case of an indictment preferred against the inhabitants of a parish for non-repair the words of the court required subse quent expansion on its records, and he (Lord Ebrington) was acquainted with a case in which that record had not been entered for months afterwards, because it was found necessary to take legal advice as to the manner in which the record should ultimately stand. The Commissioners of Sewers had no other object in view but that of serving the public. They were not sinecurists receiving large salaries, but they were a body of gentlemen, almost all of them having other public or private business to attend to; and he was only astonished at the large amount of time they bestowed on the enormous mass of business coming before them.—(Hear.) He had already said that the Commission of Sewers was a newly-constituted body acting under a complicated Act—an Act of no fewer than 146 clauses. They had to frame a new set of laws, for they had no precedent under the old law of sewers to guide them. They found the clauses of the Act gave them power to do many things; still it became frequently necessary to take legal advice as to the form in which the formal record was to be entered on the mi nutes. The original record was kept in manuscript, and whenever any delay ensued from the difficulty of ascer taining the shape in which the formal record should be entered it was found necessary to delay the entry of all subsequent matters also. The consequence was, that in cases where 100 pages of manuscript had to be inserted from time to time, errors of the sort mentioned by the Hon. Baronet were unavoidable, and would necessarily continuo to be unavoidable. For instance, requisite no tices had to be expanded in a complicated legal form, several pages long.—(Hear.) Now,it was not true that minutes were not kept, and carefully kept, of the pro ceedings of the Commission originated in Committee; in the minutes of the Committee were to be found almost invariably all the recommendations on which the pro• ceedings of the Court were founded; and when these proceedings were agreed upon, the minutes of them were again submitted to the Commissioners for them to sanc tion and verify before they were finally recorded and sealed with the seal of the Commission.—(Hear.) It ve re a p s ro t rt r to u . e that the report of the Victoria-street sewer— the report of Mr. Smith—had been received upon the g h t aconronuezethed s a lin e e day that the Commissioners directed their engi inspecthe e n t g h i e n e s:7 sewer went h a e n d t 9 prepare the c Committee t o t r e report on nf that the Commissioners, and said with wished to consult them:on would points h so e in b e rouMr. Smith's report, and draft with him on the sub jhseaueitdt. thattha T tha t they teey C y nvfmornar ot told him to revise the draft, e.creeicyeeiv e h i s i t in np n i r t t s rough g i h t a final state, a s n h d ap o e n o a n s s u om bs e el fu u t e u u r t e fia d y ay presentedle rey s t e . d The it .B. H e c o o n r o d u i r n a g b l y l e; Baronet was, therefore, not justified in saying that the report obtained by the House was not a correct report, for long before the time the order of the House was made—the 10th of April—the engineer's report had been ordered. So much, then, for the impropriety, or fraud, or evasion charged upon the Commissionerswith reference to the order of the House.—(Hear.) Now, when he interrupted the Hon. Baronet respecting the alleged financial position of the Commissioners, he did so on this ground, that the statement did not contain its financial position at present, though it did set forth ac curately its financial position at the time it bore date. The liabilities were what they appeared on the face of the papers laid on the table of the House, but at the present moment a very considerable re duction had been made in them, a great part of the rates having been now collected.—(Hear, hear.) The expenses of management for the former commission, during the eleven months of 1847, averaged 6s. 7d. per cent. on the rental of the district within their active jurisdiction, and the management expenses of the pre sent Commission during six months of the past year bad been 3s. 11d. per cent. on the rental of their district. The clumsy legislation of the House had been such as to prevent persons from lending money to the Commis sion, and they had been obliged to make a rate of 6d. in the pound for the purpose of carrying on some most necessary works in wretched streets in their district. They had executed works to the extent of 200,0001. last year; and their drainage north and south of the metro polis had been done at a less cost than their predeces sors had paid. They had nothing to conceal. They in vited investigation into their proceedings; and if the Hon. Baronet would bring forward a motion in a fair and tangible shape, and take a vote of the House upon it, they would willingly appeal from the vestry of Mary lebone to the Commons of England.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUME said that nothing which had fallen from the Noble Lord who had just sat down would make up for the irregularity with which the accounts were kept.— (Hear, hear.) The Hon. Baronet (Sir B. Hall) had not imputed criminality, but he bad shown that the accounts were in such a state of confusion as to justify the com plaints made by the inhabitants of Marylebone.— (dear.) He (Mr. Hume) had heard that the Victoria sewer had been executed by the Commissioners at an expense of 50 car cent. above the estimate; and there fore he sincerely hoped the Government would inquire and ascertain whether the Hon. Baronet's charges on the present occasion were correct.—(Hear.) Lord EBRINGTON denied that the accounts were in a state of contusion. The subject here dropped; and the motion that the House at its rising should adjourn to Monday was put and agreed to, The House adjourned at a Quarter to Eight o'clock. fined 28s to 28s 61 having been accr , pted caused a good business to be done.

BRUSSELS, MAY 14.—The breach between Church and State has been widened, instead of healed, by the visit of Dr. VAN BOMMEL, Bishop of Liege, to Rome. The bishop has informed the clergy that his HOLINESS appruved entirely of their firmness and wisdom in labouring for the interests of the Church. All the endeavours of the Government to en lighten the POPE on the actual state of things in Bel gium has therefore been unavailing. The State has offered to concede all the following points to the Roman Catholic clergy : Due reverence to all the clergy who are charged with religious instruction—adequate re muneration—every facility for imparting instruc tion —every facility to the pupils for receiving the same—the exclusive conduct of religious in struction—the nomination of the teachers for impart ing religious instruction, reserving the ratification of the same by the state—a seat in the education com mittee and in the council of study. Notwithstanding all these privileges, the clergy refuse to yield: they demand others and greater; and though they have been called upon to state what these are, they obsti nately refuse to do so. It is, however, notorious that the clerical body claims unlimited control over the moral and ecclesiastical affairs of all persons en gaged in tuition, and a voice in the selection of all books of education. On no other condition will they consent to carry out the stipulation of the law on public instruction.—Anzieger Zeitung. RA MBLES in the CRYSTAL PALACE. The crowd of visitors at the Crystal Palace has sel dom presented a more numerous or fashionable appear ance than it did yesterday; wherever the eye turned it met a moving mass sparkling in almost every colour of the rainbow. The galleries also were much more crowded than we have noticed them, at least in the British department, for the foreign galleries as yet present an unfinished appearance. On the ground floor the French exhibitors are uncovering new treasures each day, A number of beautiful work lags in bronze have just made their appearance. Messrs. Miroy exhibit some beautiful statuettes, among which the Duke of Wellington, Henry VIII ., and Francis I. are of the most exquisite workmanship. M. Lacarriere's chandeliers have excited great admi -ation, and altogether this display is one of the finest `eatures in the Exhibition. The East Indian collection develops itself more and acre each day, and promises to be extremely rare and raluable. Turkey advances rapidly, and will certainly, in beauty at least, be not behind its neighbours.

(From the London New Price Current, May 16.) SUGAR. -To-day West India Sugar was in good de mand, but at former rates merchants were desirous to sell both Grocery and Refining sorts. The purchases are 746 hhds, &c., including at auction 60 hhds 20 trcs Jamaica, which sold at easier rates; mid to good yellow went at 38s to 395, low 37s to 37s 6d, good and fine brown 36s to 36s 6d. 10 hhds mid yellow Demerara 38s 6d, 20 hhds Birhadoes low to mid 37s to 395, 100 hhds 30 trcs and 90 brls Demerara crystalized sold at prices in favour of the buyers, good to fine yellow at 41s to 45s 6d, mid 38s to 408. REFINED.-To•day the Refined Sugar market pre sented a quiet aspect, still brown lumps are not offered under 483 6d. British Crushed Sugar is yet dull of sale at 27s 6d to 28s per cwt. MAURITIUS.-This afternoon less desire was evinced to operate in Mauritius Sugar, and former rates are barely supported. At auction 3,460 bags in part sold at 40s 6d to 41s for fine yellow, and at 36s to 40s for low to good. FOREIGN.-To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, but holders would not sell but at full rates, although less desire is evinced to operate. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon prices declined 6d per cwt at the public sales of Bengal, but nearly all offered, amounting to 3,777 bags, found buyers, fine white at 42s to 435, low to good 39s to 44s 6d, damp 37s 6d to 41a 6d, good to fine grainy yellow 42s 6d to 44a per cwt. MOLASSES.-The market for West India is firm, and a tair business has be-•n concluded at 14s to 17s for Joe to fine; at auction 20 puns St. Kitts were sold at 15s. Bengal and Mauritius are wanted at 12s to 13a; taw parcels are, however, in the market. Of Cuba 213 hhds 378 trs 8 brls at auction were bought in at 158 6d. Honey is in larger supply, and prices are receding. COFFEE -This afternoon shippers and home dealer,, manifested little desire to operate in Coffee, and pre vious prices are barely supported. At auction 200 bags Dutch Java were token in, fine blue at 755, good ord pale at 48.; 498 bags 8 casks Native Ceylon in part sold, real good ord 41s 6d to 425, good ord 40a, very ord of an old import 39s 6d, and 10 bags fine fine ord Costa Rice 503 per cwt. TEA.-Although there are sellers of Congou at a re daction on previous terms of id per lb, yet the trade operated with reluctance. Common has been selling at. Hid to 1 lid; medium to rather strong blackish leaf sorts is to is Id, and better kinds is lid to is 7d per lb. Ot Oolong, however, several parcels have been disposed of, owing to a further reduction having taken place. The quantity of green on offer is large. In Pekoe scented Teas little has been done, and parcels can only be sold at a further decline, whilst the anintity on offer exceeds consumption. Of 2,400 pkgs of Tea at auction on Tuesday, only 900 found buyers. The quantity de clared for next week is large, amounting to 20,000 pkgs, 2,300 of which consist of Assam. Cocoa.-This afternoon the market for Cocoa again presented a dull aspect, and at auction 200 bags Trinidad returned from Cadiz were taken in at 40s to 41s for low grey. RICE.-Although East India is offered rather under last week's rates, only trifling purchases have been made privately by shippers or home dealers, and the supply is larger than it was last week. Of Madras 3,517 bags good white at auction were taken in at 8s ; but 716 bags good middling Bengal, sold at 9s to 9i 6i. The value of low to fine is 8s to Ils ; common to mid piekey Madras 7s 3d to 7s 9d, Arracae Bs, and Cargo 7s to 73 3d per cwt. Cleaned Rice has been operated in with caution, and sellers are willing to accept 103 to 15s for common to fine Patna; and 20s to 25s for town dressed Carolina. Sago is rather cheaper, the quantity offered at auction having been large, and amounted to 1,535 chests and 814 bags ; still a fair part sold at 18s to 23s for mid to fine small pearl ; and a few lots very superior white at 39s to 40s. Of Sago Flour 972 bags has partly found buyers at 14s to 15s.

Seines -With Nutmegs the market has been largely supplied this week, and there has been a reduction in the value of 2d to 3d per Ib, the fall being most apparent on inferior sorts. At auction 276 chts &c were nearly all sold; fine brown went at 3s 6d to 3s 10d, good mid to good 2s 9d to 3s 3d, mid 2s 4d to 2s 9d, low is lld to 2s 3d, ord and very small limed is to Is Bd, but 4 casks of good limed Dutch were taken in at 23 4d to2B 6d per lb.

At auction 1,908 bgs sold at 2i to 3d for light grey, but chiefly at the former r a t e . The value of Malabar is 3d to 31d, and S uma t ra 3d p er lb. White is still wanted, mid and commands l a t e rates, s u pply not being much larger. At auction 320 bogs sold at 7d to 7id per lb tor good and good.
