The usual half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Landon, Brighton, and South Coast Railway was held this afternoon, at the Bridge House Hotel ; Mr. Laing, chairman f the board of directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting and the minutes of previous meeting having been read, the common seal of the company was affixed to the re gistry of shareholders. The report of the directors was then submitted to the meeting. "It stated that the capital account being now practically closed, the regular working of the completed system of lines belonging to the company may be considered as having commenced. Accordingly great pains have been taken to reduce the accounts to such a system as should distinguish the working of the different departments. The amount of capital raised to the 30th of June last is 7,139,5671., consisting of mortgage debts, 1,486.3371.; preference share capital, 1,037,5961.; and consolidated stock, 4,615,634/. The whole of the capital receives in• terest or dividend out of revenue. The additional capi tal expended during the past half-year amounts to 56,1871., of which 35.365/. was fur the enlargement of the London station, 9,1321. for the completion cf the Portsmouth station, and the Eastbourne and Hailsham and Thames Junction branches; and 8,6901 in providing additional plant and accommodation far the increase of goods traffic. The directors state positively that the works for the en largement of the London station will cost less than the estimate of 150,0001. for land and works, and 7,000/. for preliminary and Parliamentary expenses. The rapid increase of the goods traffic, which now averages about 7004 per week more than in 1848, has required a large outlay for waggons, sidings, warehouses, &c., not contemplated in the estimate of 7,200,0001. for the final capital. The directors see no reason to appre hend any excess in that estimate, unless a further consi derable development of traffic should take place. A large portion of the mortgage debt has been raised or renewed in the course of the past half-year, at the rate of interest not exceeding 4 per cent., and for periods of seven years. The total receipts for the half-year have been 227,6641., showing an increase of 13,6021 over the corresponding half-year of 1849. Deducting the cartage, &c., the in crease in the railway traffic has been 10,6301., of which 6,1881. has been in the goods traffic, which has more than equalled the expectations formed from the opening of the Bricklayers' Arms station and the Deptford Dock. The opening of this d ick has lowered the price of coals to the consumer at Brighton and throughout a consider able part of Surrey and Sussex 4s. or ss. a ton. This trade is as yet in its infancy, being crippled by a heavy duty levied on the coals in transit through the port of London; but strong representations having been made to the Government and the City authorities on the subject, it is confidently believed that this duty will be shortly repealed, in which case the company's route, vin Deptford, will command the principal supply of coals to Brighton and the south coast, at a price which will afford a most material boon to the population of the district. The passenger traffic has not kept pace with the goods traffic. During the first four months of the half-year, when the weather was very unfavourable, it showed a slight falling off as compared with the corre sponding period of 1849, except upon the Croydon and Epsom line. In order to meet this, the directors have done all in their power to attract traffic to the line by increasing the accommodation to the public, and afford ing frequent opportunities for excursions at very low rates. The present state of the passenger traffic is more satisfactory than it has been at any time since last au tumn, and the directors see no reason to doubt the con tinuance of a moderate but steadily progressive increase. The number of miles run by trains during the past half year has been 580,1901, as compared with 552,856 miles in the preceding halt-year, and 496.238 miles in the corresponding haif-year of 1849. The additional mile age having been provided tor, in a great measure, by improved arrangements and by the use of. light engines, has not been attended with any corresponding inerea,e of expense, and the total consumption of coke has been less than in any preceding half-year. Brighton, being now reached with punctuality in an hour and a qttarter, is practically as much a suburb of London, and as-con venient fur the residence of persons having business in the city, as Kensington or Bayswater ; and parties visit• ing Hailings, Eastbourne, Worthing, Littlehampton, Arundel, Chichester, or Portsmouth, have now an oppor tunity of leaving home at a moderately early hour, reaching London a', ten o'clock in the morning, remain ing there until fire o'clock, and returning in time for a late dinner. Even the Isle of Wight is brought within a three houri'loseriey of London, the passage between Portsmouth and It) de being effected in twenty minutes, by fast steamers in connexion with every train. The total traffic receipts (excluding cartage, &c.) for the half-year ending 30th of June last amounted to 221,1381., and for the corresponding period of' 1849 to 210,5081. The total expense during the former period amounted to 98 , 6341, and in the latter period to 91,9061. The rates at .d taxes in the half-year ending June 30, 1850, amounted to 9,6151.; while for the corresponding period of 1849 they amounted to 11,3271. The item of cartage for the former period amounted to 4,7371., and for the latter period to 1,178/. The maintenance of way for the last half year cost 931. per mile, while at the corresponding period cf 184 b the cost was 851. per mile. The total expenditure per train per Mile was, in 1850, 3s. 5d.; and for the correspond ing period of - 1849, 35. . 9d. The expenditure on gross receipts for the half-year ending June 30, 1850, amounted to 43.3 per cent.; and for the corresponding period of 1849 to 42.9 per cent. The total amount ex pended in renewals and improvements during the past half-year has been 11;7791., as compared with 7,495/. in the corresponding period of 1849. The charge on re venue for interest and preferential divid end for the half year ending the 30th June, 1850, amo unted to 61,1074, while at the corresponding period of 1849, it amounted to 55,788/. The total charge prior to aividend, including all expenses for the last half.year, amounts to 159,7401. as against 147,6951 in the corresponding period of 1849. The net amount at the credit of revenue account for the half year is 130,4561., of which. 33.2211. is appropriated for interest on loan, and 27,8864 for dividend on pre ference shares, leaving a balance of 69,3491., out of which the directors • recommend a dividend of 1 per cent. for the half year, leaving a balance of 1151. to the credit of the next account. It appears from the stock and share account that the company is authorised, to raise 7,440,930/. of which power 301,362/. has not been exercised. The capital account shows that 7,126,4294 has been received, and 7,150,5741. expended, leaving a balance against the company of 24,1451. The revenue account for the half-year states that 229,090/. had been received. and 98,6341 . expended, leaving a balance of 130,4561." The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, observed that the accounts had been made as accurate as possi ble ; they, together with the report, contained all the information the directors were in possession of, and it would therefore be unnecessary for him to detain the meeting with any lengthened remarks. The result of the half-year's operations was what he had originally predicted it would be, but still he understood that there were; , some proprietors who were dissatisfied with the amount of dividend. No doubt that dissatisfaction had arisen oat of calculations based upon the weekly returns, of the receipts from- traffic. Those returns showed an increase in the income over the' corresponding half of last year of 14,000/. ; but there was some little ex aggeration in the returns, and when the actual receipts came to be calculated, after making reductions and adjustments claimed by the South-Eastern Company, and providing for other contingencies, the increase was reduced to 12,6001., but the carriage and cartage account was included in that sum, and when they al lowed for the additional expenditure which that source of ineonte involved, the actual increase stood at 10,6001. Daring , the past half-year, however, -an increase had taken place in the expenditure on works and the renewal of stock to the amount of 9,6031., which, of course, had to be provided for out of the receipts. This charge then would reduce the increase of income applicable to the dividend to some thing more than 1,0001., but on the entire working expenses the directors had obtained a saving of 1,0001., and, under all the circumstances, be thought the pro prietors had every reason to congratulate themselves at being enabled not only to maintain, but slightly to increase, their former dividend. Last year he published a pamphlet containing his own anticipations of the future earnings and expenditure of the com pany, and it was a matter of satisfaction to him to find that his estimate of expenditure so far as the pre sent year was concerned, was some .5,0001. above what had actually taken place,. and, speaking now with the aeslatance of experience, he had no hesitation in pre dicting that the railway would continue to yield 4/. per cent. on the paid-up capital, and still allow the comnauy to pay all the interest due on loans, and to provide a reserve fund for future contingencies. He would now, with the permission of the meeting, advert to a subject which, at the present moment, occupied a good deal of the public attention. He alluded to the subject of Sunday labour. The only inducement which ought to influence a railway company like this in running Sunday excursion trains was the public good. Now, while he agreed with sticklers for Sab batarian observances that it was necessary to give the poor man a day of rest, he altogether repudiated the nett° n that the term rest-meant abutting the operative , THE SUN, up in a close an ti heated atmosphere, like that which prevailed in th a metropolis. When a man was en joying the healt by recreation which resulted from a change of scene he was resting himself from labour, improving his I wealth, and rendering him more con tented with his condition of life, and therefore while the directors dic l not despise the commercial, conside rations which th is question involved, their main object in running excr traion trains was not so much for profit as a desire to r itford the working man a cheap oppor tunity of ma- ping, as it were, from prison, and seek ing pleasure and rational enjoyment in the country. An engineman., a fireman, and two guards was all the labour reeluired for working a train carrying some six b undyed persons from London to Brighton, and when be remembered the evils which had arisen in Scotland from the practice of shut ing the people up in large towns, he really did think it was the duty of all well-wishers of his country to encourage the system of railway excursions. Having said thus mach, be was happy to add that these excursion trains had not interfered with their commercial prosperity ; indeed, he might say per se it had increased it, for, with no increase of working expenses, the ordinary Sunday traffic had reached from 4341. last year to 4571. per day ; while the excursion traffic had advanced from 7151. per day to 9661. Nor had the Sunday excursion trains at all interfered with the Saturday and Monday traffic, since the increase this year over last was 3.0501. as against 2,9451., and it was therefore the intention of the directors to continue this mode of operation on all the lines so long as it met with the approval of the shareholders and the public. He was no advocate for reducing the accommodation of travellers, by con tracting the carriages or packing them closely, like herrings, as was done on other lines, and he thought time and experience would prove that he was right in that respect. He bad now disposed of all the topics that seemed to call for observations, and it now only re mained for him to take a slight glance' at the future half-year. He had entered into some calculations on that subject, which led him to believe that the increase in the expenditure would require an increase of 5,0001. in the half-year's receipts, or 2001. per week, to enable them to sustain their present dividend. All beyond that would go to increase the dividend. He should still recommend the propridtors to set aside 15,0001. a year for the reserved fund till it reached 50,000/., when some reduction might be safely made ' in the amount annually put apart for that purpose. Mr. HERAPATH complained that they had increased their expenditure for an insignificant augmentation of traffic. He was opposed to the chairman's notions about travelling for the million. This company had set the example of running excursion trains at ridi culously low fares, which had forced the South- Western and the South- Eastern to reduce their fares too, and his opinion was that the contest would rea lise the fable of the Kilkenny cats. Mr. LEVT charged Mr. Herapath with having made a statement, in Herapath's Journal detriimen tal to his (Mr. Levy's) character. The statement accused him of having jobbed in the shares of the company, namely, with having sold his shares at a high premium, and afterwards repurchased them at a reduced price when the dividend had been made known to the public. Now be begged to state that here was no truth in that accusation. Mr. HEZAPATII said he was not the editor of the journal in question, but if he was not mistaken the paragraph complained of was a Stock-Exchange ru mour. Now he was not a member of that exchange. Mr. LEVY—No, there are rogues enough there already. Mr. HEEAPATH—And therefore had no means of ascertaining its truth. After some further discussion the report was adopted, and the dividend declared payable on an early day. Resolutions were then passed, authorising the directors to consolidate into stock such of the eighth shares (D), created on the 19th August, 1846, in respect of :which the whole of the calls shall have been paid ; and also to consolidate into 51. per cent. stock, from the Ist day of August nest, the five par cent. 91. Bs. shares of the company, commonly denominated " Croydon Thirds," the several conditions under which they were issued remaining attached thereto. Messrs. Mansfield and Reeves were then elected auditors, with a remuneration of 2001. per annum. The sum of 1001. was also voted to the committee who audited the present accounts. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, who briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meet ing, which was numerously attended, broke up. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'clock. Mr. DUNCAN thought that more time should have been allowed for the discussion of the extensive amend ments which had been made in this Bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE hoped that the House would not delay the Bill at so lsta a period of the session. If the House would do all they could to further the pro gress of the Bill, he would promise that he would allow all the time he could between the reprinting of this Bill and the third reading. Mr. CARDWELL cautioned the Right Hon. Gen tleman against delaying this Bill to too late a period of the session. After some further discussion, the Committee divided, when their appeared— . . For the re-committal 3 Against it Majority The amendment was consequently lost. Mr. LABOUCHERE then moved several additional clauses, which were agreed to without discussion. Admiral BOWLES then moved the following clause:— "That the Lord's-day shall be observed according to law, and no work shall he done on that day which is not absolutely necessary for the cleanliness and preservation of the ship and stores, or for its safe and careful navi gation if at sea or proceeding to sea; and if the master, owner, or consignee of any ship shall cause any unneces sary work to be performed on the Lord's-day, he shall, on being convicted thereof; be liable to a penalty of five pounds for every such off , nce." Mr. LABOUCHERE, though he was not inclined to treat any suggestion of the Gallant Admiral with inat tention, yet be found himself unable to recommend the adoption of this clause to the Committee. From whit he had heard he did not believe that any provision of the kind would be acceptable either to the majority of the shipowners or sailors. He hopod the Gallant Admiral would be clntent with bringing the clause before the House, and wou'd not press it turther. Admiral BOWLES expressed his willingness to with draw the clause, because he did not wish it to be known that any considerable number of Members voted against such a clause. The clause wag then withdrawn. • Mr: ANDERSON moved the insertion of the follow ing clause:—" And be it enacted, that if in the course of a voyage any seaman shall quit his ship without the consent I.f the master, to enter into her Majesty's naval service, and shall be received into such service, and the owner shall thereby incur any additional expense, loss, or damage. it shall be lawful for the Lord High Admi; ral, or the Commissioners for executing the office of Lor,d High Admiral, to imdemnify the owner for such additional expense, loas,.or damage, to such extent as to them may appear just and reasonable." The lion. Mem ber said the object he had in moving the insertion of this clause was to relieve shipowners of what he considered a very great grievance, and he hoped, now that they were an unprotected class that the Government would assent to his proposition, espe cially as the desertion of their seamen to enter the royal navy entailed upon them sometimes very consider ab!e expense. Mr. LABOUGHERE said the House had already de cided when the Bill was in Committee nut to alter the law as it at present stood on this subject, and he hoped that the discussion with respect to it would not be re vived. It would not be advisable for the House to pro nounce an opinion on a question of such great national importance iu this incidental manner; and he therefore trusted that the Hon. Member would not press his clause. Sir F. BARING observed that the clause as it was framed would not give any power to the Admiralty to award compensation to the shipowner. After a ;holt discussion, - Mr. HENLEY said he thought this subject had not received that attention from the Government which it deserved. Shipowners were now in a very different po sition to what they were formerly, they being exposed to the free and unrestricted competition of the world, and it would only be common honesty and justice to protect them from any luss of this kind. Mr. FORSTER said the discussion had given another proof that the rule of the Government had been to exclude everything from the Bill likely to relieve the shipowner, he hoped the Hon. Member would divide the House on the clause. Admiral DUNDAS opposed the clause, observing that he thought the liberty of seamen to enter the royal navy afforded a great protection to them against any injustice on the part of their employers. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the clause .. 25 Against it ... 48 Majority ... —23 The clause was consequently lost. Clsuse 18 was struck out at the suggestion of Mr. LABOUCHERE. On clause 28 being read, which provides for the esta blishment of shipping-masters to conduct negotiations between shipmasters and seamen, Mr. ANDERSON moved an amendment, to the effect that the shipping-masters should be allowed to act only when " required by any owner or master of a ship." Mr. MuFFATT and Mr. WAWN supported the amend ment. The House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it 70 Majority ... —62 Mr. LABOUCHERE said he had ascertained that the Bill would be printed and in the hands of Members by to-morrow morning, and as it was important that it should go to the House of Lords as soon as possible, be hoped there would be no objection to take the third reading on Monday. Mr. MONSELL trusted that Tuesday would be fixed for that purpose, so as to allow time to communicate with the Irish ports on the subject ut the amendments. Mr. DUNCAN supported the suggestion. He thought that more time ought to be given to allow ►hipowners in Scotland to consider the amendments. After a few words from Mr. WAWN, It was agreed that the third reading should be taken on Monday, ut twelve o'clock. MEDICAL CHARITIES (IRELAND) BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, Mr. BERNAL in the chair. Clause 9, after a short discussion, was agreed ta. On clause 10, Mr. VESEY proposed an amendment to the effect that the election of the medical officer of a dispensary should be placed in the bands of the committee of management and n:,t the guardians of the union. Sir W. ' SOMERVILLE opposed the amendment, thinking that it would be against the principle of the Bill, which was to allow the boards of guardians to have pr Iper supervision and control over these charities. Lord NAAS supported the amendment. Sir D. NORREYS considered that a more harmoni ous management might be secured by allowing the medical officers to be appointed by the boards of guar dians. After some further discussion, the Chairman was di rected to report progress, and ask leave to sit again. The House resumed, progress was reported accord ingly, and leave was given to sit again to-morrow. The House then adjourned until Five o'clock. The House resurn.-d at Five o'clock. CHIPPENDALL'S DIVORCE BILL. Mr. PAGE WOOD brought up the report of the Committee to whom Mr. Chippendall's petition, praying to prosecute his Bill fora divorce in forma paupers, was referred.—The report was agreed to. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Montrose against the Bill introduced into the House of Lords, and known as Lord Kinnaird's Bill. Colonel LINDSAY presented a petition from certain Odd Fellows in Wigan in favour of the Friendly Socie ties Bill before the Howe. EXHIBITION OF 1851. Colonel SIBTHORP wished to ask the Learned At torney-General whether it was true that he had refused to sanction an application for an injunction relative to the erection of a minding in Hyde-park for the proposed exhibition of 185 l ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was true. Colonel SIBPHORP gave notice then that to-morrow he would call the attention of the House to the subject. TUSCANY AND SARDINIA. Mr. B. COCHRANE wish?d to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department a question, which it would be necessary for him to explain. The House was aware that certain demands had been made by the British merchants residing at Leghorn on the Tuscan Government, and, at the request of Sir George Hamilton, the Tuscan Government wrote him a communication, offering to refer the matter to the arbitration of some great power. This commu cation Sir George Hamilton forwarded home, but, in the meantime, a dispatch was sent out to Sir G. Hamilton requesting him to intimate to the Tuscan Government that her Majesty's Government were read to accept the good offices of :Sardinia. Now the question he wished to ask was whether the communication forwarded by Sir G. Hamilton reached the Noble Lord before. he sent out that dispatch? Lord PALMERSTON said before the arrival of that communication the representative of the Sardinian Government proposed that the dispute should be referred to the arbitration of that power, but he was informed that her Majesty's G o vernment could not consent to refer the matter tot e arbitration of any power, but that they would willingly accept the good offices of Sar dinia. This offer was communicated in a dispatch to Sir George Hamilton, together with the reply that had been given to it ; but the Tuscan Government re fused to accept the good offices of Sardinia; but they were willing to refer the matter to the arbitration of Russia. The answer sent to that was that her Majesty's Government could consent to the arbitration of no power, and there the subject now rested. Mr. B. COCHRANE said the point he wished to have answered was whether or no the Noble Lord had received the communication from Sir George Hamilton before he forwarded the dispatch offering to accept the good offices of Sardinia. sFEoL c ountry AwDbi wished eAd t the oc know s Sardinian Lord PALMERSTON said, when the offer was L S made E ju C r U . i i ß m l t SECURITY( IREL AND) stweIIar , BILL. the communication had not arrived. s k whether lin i t intenlion of the Government to go on wit h the Security for Advances (Ireland) Bill this session, and, if nc , t , whether they intruded to introduce • it again at an early period of the next session ? Lord J. RUSSELL 'mud there was so much o • pposi tion to the Bill, and so many amendments proposed, that the Government did not think they would be able to carry it this session, but they were aci fully convinced o f the advantages it would confer upon Ireland generally that it was their intention next session to re• introduce the Bill, or one nearly similar to it. REVENUE OF WOODS - AND FORESTS. Lord DUNCAN said it was his intention to postpone his motion for the payment of the gross revenues of the Woods and Forests into the Exchequer. SAVINGS BANKS BILL. Mr. SPOONER wished to know whether the Chan cellor of the Exchequer intended to go on with this Bill on Friday next. PETITIONS. Lord WHARNCLIFFE pieeated several petitions in favour of the Marriages Bill. The Earl of MINT() presented several petitions from Scotland, numerously signed, with a similar prayer. Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions from Edin burgh and its neighbourhood against this Bill, which had been confided to his care by his Noble Friend the Lord Chief Justice ; also several other petitions, with a simi lar prayer, from Glasgow, Dunfurmline, and other places in Scotlaod. The Bishop of OXFORD presented several petitions with a similar rrayer. The Earl of CARLISLE presented several petitions, numerously and respectably signed, is favour of the Bill, and one petition against the Bill. The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented several petitions against the Bill. He believed the country was repugnant to the Bill. The Earl of MINTO said that the resolutions of public meetings, called in Scotland, were in general favourable to the Bill. BOARD OF GREEN CLOTH. Lord BROUGHAM asked whtther the same sum was paid for the salartea of officers of the Board of Green Cloth as was puid in the time of Sir Thomas Marrable ? The Marquis tf LANSDOWNE said the whole ques tion would come on to-morrow on the Noble and Learned Lord's motion. Lord BROUGHAM then moved far certain returns relating to the Criminal-law Commission.—Agreed to. PETITIONS. The Earl of WICKLOW presented a petition against the Leasehold Tenure of Lands (Ireland) Bill. The Earl of ZETLAND presented several petitions in favour of the Ilarriazei B►ll. PRIVILEGE. Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from Byrne, M'Artbur, and Ilinde, expressing their sorrow for having committed a breach of privilege in attaching signatures improperly to a petition to their Lord ships' House, stating that they were all poor men, and praying to be discharged. He gave notice that he should to-morrow move that they be called to the bar, be admo nished, and discharged. STOCK-IN-TRADE BILL. This Bill pasted through Committee. MARRIAGES BILL. The Earl of ST. GERMANS moved that the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill be read for the purpose of being discharged. He hoped that during the recess' their Lordships would consider this Bill calmly and deliberately without suffering their minds to be prejudiced by the vehement denunciations against this Bill, so that early next session they might take into their consideration the recommendation of several most pious clerg; men and of the learned members of the Commis sion: appointed to consider this subject, and that some such slceratiiin should rake place in the law. The Bishop of SALISBURY said that the report of the Commission appointed to investigate the subject gave no opinion on..the matter; certainly not one in favour of the Bill. The Earl of ST. GERMANS: said the report pointed out the evils of the existing state of the law. The Bishop of OXFORD protested against the idea of the Churo- of England not condemning those mar- riages. The Earl of ST. GERMANS explained. These marriages might be celebrated in the Church of Rome by a dispensation from the Pope. The Bishop of OXFORD said the Pope might, by dispensation, legalise a marriage between a brother and sister. Lord BROUGHAM said that argument from the practice of the Church of Rome proved too much or too little, for the Pope might, by a dispensation, enable a man to marry his grandmother. He should seriously consider the subject during the recess. The order of the day for the second reading of the Bill was then discharged. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition praying for the establishment of steam communication with Australia. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKZR took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were considered and agreed to : Godstone and Vighgate Turnpike Road. Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. Surrey and Sussex Roads. PETITIONS. Admiral GORDON presented petitions from Aber deenshire praying for protection to native industry. Mr. HAMILTON presented a petition from the Apothecaries' Company in Dublin against certain clauses of the Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill. MERCANTILE MARINE (No. 2) BILL. On the motion fur considering the amen ilannts of this Bill, Mr. WAWN mDved that the Bill be recommitted. Mr. LABOUCHERE opposed the motion. The Bill had been several days in Committi e , and although the alterations were extensive and important, he thought it would be a waste of time to recommit it. He pro. posed that the atnendmentoVild be ade;ml on the re port, after which the Bill would be reprliited; but the Bill in its perfect form would be before the , House pre vious to the third reading. Mr. CLAY supported the recommittal of the Bill. Mr. HENLEY aid not think it ince ssary to re cons-Mit the Bill; but he should have wish,ed that this Bill had been reprinted before any further _progress had ben made in the Bill * .„ LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1850. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not think he would be able to proceed with the Bill on Friday in consequence of the Government intending to take the Committee of Supply on all available nights. lie would not be able to fix a day fur the Bill until the Committee of Supply had terminated their labours, but he hoped to go on with it on an early day. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. DISRAELI said it would be very convenient if the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) would state what Irish business he intended to proceed with on Tuesday next. Lord J. RUSSELL replied that he would state to morrow the course of busineess on that day. INSURRECTION IN CEYLON—MIL BAILLIE AND CAPTAIN WATSON. Mr. BAILLIE, in rising to ask Lord John Russell whether he had received a report from the Royal Com mission in Ceylon, appointed to inquire into the authen ticity •of certain proclamations to which the name of Captain Watson was attached, and which be had declared to have been forged, and if he would lay the report upon the table of the House, begged the permission of the House while he entered briefly into a matter which personally con cerned himself as well as the Hon. Member for Mont- The House would recollect that at the nom m,ncement of the present session the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) accused him of having made a statement to the House injurious to the honour and character of a British officer, and which he supported by forged documents. [Mr. Baillie then pro ceeded to read the letter of Captain Watson, stating that the signatures to the proclamations to which he (Mr. Baillie) referred were forgeries.]—(Hear, hear.) He would not have the Noble Lord suppose that there could be the slightest blame attached to his course of conduct on that occasion. He. thought that he was per fectly right, and he could not have adopted any other course, and the more so when that letter was written after great consideration, and under the advice of Sir Emerson Tennant, who ought to have been perfectly aware of the existence of those documents, since he was residing within sixteen miles of Captain Watson at the time, and remained there during the whole year in which those documents were published. The answer that he (Mr. Baillie) had made on that occasion was that he had received the documents as Chairman of the Ceylon Committee from gentlemen on whom h© placed the greatest reliauce, and that the name of Captain Watson was attached to those documents, and that he had believed them to be genuine. Upon a subsequent occasion he stated that, having re ceived further information, be was prepared to prove the signature of Captain Watson by witnesses. The Committee decided that it was impossible to doubt the word and honour of a British officer, and the course which was subsequently adopted, under the advice of the late Sir Robert Peel, was to address her Majesty to send out a Royal Commission to Ceylon to ascertain the truth or falsehood of those statements. :That Commission went,,, to Ceylon, and had now made its report, which stated that the sig nature of Captain Watson had bt en proved to be genu ine, upon the evidence of the parties who actually wrote the proclamations and saw him sign them; and that rose. large numbers were distributed up and down, and that considerable property had been confiscated under those proclamations. Under those circumstances he hoped the Noble Lord would relieve him from the implied cen sure, and wt - u'd admit tt at it was himself and not the Hon. Member who had been made the instrument of stating what was not true in that House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said with respect to the first part of the Hon. Member's speech, he could only say that ho had made that statement upon the authority of the letter which he had received from Captain Watson, and which he still thought it would have been better if the Hon. Member had allowed it to rest quiet until further inquiry bad been made. He musi however admit that the Hon. Gentleman bad sufficient ground upon which, to bring forward that charge. The present state of the case was this, that the Commission had made a report, which they stated was only a report drawn up at the moment, and that they would at the earliest opportunity gelid,' l a full report, together with all the documents and evidence taken in the matter. Captain Watson bad been made aware of this report, and still continued his assertion that he never signed such ploclamation, and that any such signature must be a forgery. He thought that in such a state of the case, where they had such confl,cting statements, and when they considered that this was a charge affecting Captain Watson's honour, and truth it would scarcely be fair to proceed further in the matter till they had all the documents and evidence before them. He should, therefore, decline to lay the report of the Commission on the table for the present. Mr. HUME said, as the Noble Lord complained of his Honourable Friend having produced the do cuments which he did, it was quite neces sary for proving the case which he had asserted. He did not want to say one word more on the subject of the evidence on the proceedings of the committee. That would come out when the report agreed to yester day was printed and in the hands of lion. Members. He was awry the Noble Lord had declined to lay the report in question upon the table, for it threw consider able light on the matter in dispute. Mr. D'ISRAELI said he had no wish to question the propriety of that course recommended by the Noble Lord, (Lord J. Russell,) at the same time he (Mr. Disraeli,) felt it his duty to express his opinion that the Hon. Member for Inverness was fully justified in taking this step, for the second report referred to by the Noble Lord would not probably arrive before Parliament rose, and his Hun. Fri , nd would nut have had an opportunity of vindicating liiiin3elf beS)re the House.—(Hesr, hear.) public, he were to sanction a proceeding directly at variance with that vote. If any private right were affected by my decision it would be a different matter; but I hare the satisfaction of knowing that no private right of any individual or individuals can be withdrawn from the consideration of any court or in any manner affected by my refusal to sanction this information."

The House then resolved itself int.) a Committee of Supply. Before the vote was taken fur the Contract Packet Service, Lord NAAS rose to move that an humble a' dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be gra ciously pleased to order such measures to be taken as will ensure the immediate establishment of re gular steam communication with her Australian colonies. The Noble Lord proceeded to call the attention of the House to the delay and uncertainty which arose in the transmission of intelligence from the Australian colonies to this country, and to the fact that the members of the Government wee e frequently indebi ed to the colonial news papers for important information which reached this coun try before their o wn o ffici al dispatche s f rom t hose colonies. During last year on one occasion four or five months had elapsed without any communication between this country and the Australian colonies. In the year 1847 the average length of the passage was 121 days, and in 1848 it was 119 days. From this it would be seen that the ordinary time for conveying letters and conaniunicat ions from this country to Sydney varied from 120 to 130 days; but if the plan which he was about to propose now sere adopted, or some thing like it, the passage would be reduced to 70 days. Three routes had been suggested fur this steam commu nication. First, the western route by Panama, a dis stanee of 13,600 miles ; second, the southern route by the Cape of Good Hope, a distance of 13,630 ; and, thirdly, the eastern route by Singapore, a distance of 12,099 milee. The first route, however, although the shortest, was objectionable on account of the want of trade on the Pacific, and the difficult sea voyage between Singapore and Australia. The second route, in his opinion, was decidedly the best, as it would include many intermediate ports and places of importance, and would be the best adapted fur the purposes of emigration. The third route by Singapore would take i n t h e present overland mail to India, and it had this advantage over the others, that it placed India i n di rect communication with Australia, not t his see part, as both as this . sea part of the , passage would h ave t o b e per f orme d byscrew stebaunaters, reallyhe could for and the Cape route could not be adopted together. The Legisla , ure of New South Wales had voted so me 6,0001 towards carrying out that scheme of postal transmission between that country and England, and calculated that the revenue which would be derived from such transmission would amount to 20,000/. Van Diemen's Land was also ready to unite in the same object, and in the full confi dence cf the great benefit which would result to that colony and the mother country, and so likewise in re spect of the other colonies. A quicker and more regular communication with England, would reven' the markets of the colonies being overstocked with commodities, which was one of the greatest evils to which they could be subject. He . thought it quite clear that the greatest advantages would result to this country as well as to the celonies in a commercial pcint of view, if the regular and rapid steam communication which he proposed was estab lished. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should be obliged to oppose the notion of the Noble Lord, but he presumed .his object had been effected in calling the attention of the House to the subject. The House was well aware that he was as desirous ass any one to effect a rapid. ;and regular communication with the colonies , and he only regretted that he would not be able before the end of the session to announce that some definite arangement had been made to accomplish that object. (LEFT SITTING.) INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION of 1851. The following is the statement of reasons giveniby the Attorney-General in justification of his refusal to sanc tion the proposed application for an injunction:— " I have in this matter a duty of a judicial nature to perform. The object of the information is to call in question the exercise of the discretion of the Woods and Forests in the management of a part of the pro perty of the Crown. The information states that what the Commissioners of Woods and Forests are about to do is illegal, and injurious to the public. The informa tion states no facts which, in my opinion, establish either of these propositions. But eveu if there were a question as to the legality, the Attorney-General is bound to judge whether it is for the interest of the public to liti gate the question. Cases may be conceived, and indeed not unfre quently arise, in which the letter of the law has be-n violated, and in which the court has, neverthe less, required the Attorney-General to consider whether he would allow an information to proceed complaining of such violation, even where tho Attorney-General had already in his discretion allowed the information to be filed, and where, it the information had proceeded, the court could Lave done no other than enforce the strict right. The discretion of the Attorney-General is inter posed to prevent this mischief; and his exercise of that discretion is purely an exercise of a judicial function, and as such I have exercised it to the best of my ability. " In the p resent case the sense of what is for t he interest of the public, with relation to wh at the Com missioners of Woods and Forests propo se to do, has be en unequivocally expressed by a vote of the House of Commons. It wou ld, in my opinion, be an improper measure on the part of the Attorney-General if, in the exercise of his discretion, and acting on behalf of the GERMANY. The Kolner Zeitung has a telegraphic dispatch, dated Berlin, July 23, which states that as all the States of the Bund have not ratified the treaty of peace with Denmark, the exchange of ratifications will not take place. Prussia proposes that the power of ratification should be invested in the Central Corn mission. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Further accounts from Schleswig, of the 21st inst., state that no change had taken place in the position of the h , )stile forces. General \Villisden had ad dressed an order of the day to his troops, in which he declares that the decisive day had arrived, and that the only resource left was an appeal to arms. Considerable sensation had been created in Ham burg on the 22d by the intelligence that Lieutenant Lane, commanding the Schleswig-Holstein steam gun-boat Von der Taun, had blown up his ship rather than sufferber to fall into the hands of the Danes. It appears that he was trying to make his way from Trusernilude to Neustadt, when the vessel ran on shore. Fearing lest she might be made a prize by the enemy's cruiz-rs, the crew took to the boats and sot fire to the Von der Tann, which soon afterwards blew up. HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK. (From the Registrar-Genersi's Report.) The mortality of London exhibits a s,lnall increase. The deaths registered in the two previous weeks were 794, 781 ; those in the week ending last Satur day Here 863. To compare the corresponding weeks of 1840.8, the lowest number occurred in that of 1842, and was 744, the highest in that of 1848, when it was 1,096; but in the year following the deaths of the corresponding week rose to 1,741, when cholera had extended its ravages. The average of the ten weeks of 1840-9, is 974, and raised in the ratio of increase of population 1,063 ; compared with which latter standard, the return of the last week shows a decrease of 200. In the last three weeks, the morta lity from zymotic or epidemic diseases has manifested a slight tendency to increase ; the deaths in this class have been successively 159, 168, and 176. But five of the diseases which are most important in the category of epidemics remain nearly at their former amount, or have perceptibly declined ; for the last week only three children died of small-pox, 15 persons of scarlatina, 16 of measles, 22 of hooping cough, and M of typhus, all these complaints being less fatal than usual, especially the first two. The increase, however, is apparent in the diarrheel among children, which is pecular to this period of tha year. Its progress, not very formidable, is shown in the numbers of the two previous weeks, which were 40, 37, and that of the last week, which was 51. In the twenty-ninth or corresponding week of 1846, there were 124 from the same cause ; in 1848, there were 94 ; and last year 131. Of the 51 of last week, 35 occurred under one year of age ; eight at one and under ten ; and the rest at more advanced ages. Five deaths were ascribed last week to cholera ; 20 were registered in the same week of 1846, 21 in that of 1848, and 678 in that of 1849. Tae following are the particulars of last week's cases :—At 60, Porchester-terrace, St. John, Paddington, on the 18th July, a gentleman, aged 63, died of " malignant cholera (18 hours).' Mr. Holloway, the registrar, makes the following statement :—" It appears from the information of the person who was present at the death that the stench from the drains was very great, and that the de ceased had often complained of it. The houses in the terrace are near Kensington. gardens, and appear to be very healthy, being large, unattached, and provided with gardens." At 3, Litchfield-terrace, Queen's road, Holloway, on the 18th of July, the daughter of a domestic servant, aged 8 months, died of " diarrhoaa and sickness (4 days), cholera Anglica." Mr. Butter field adds, that "cholera was most virulent in the immediate neighbourhood at the last visitation." At 31, Margaret-street, Haggerstone East, the daughter of a labourer, aged 5 years, died of " cholera (13 hours)." Dr. Ditchmao, the registrar, states that he " inspected the premises immediately, and found that they consisted of four small rooms, of which the two lower were inhabitated by a man, his wife, and five children, while the two upper wer e occupied by a man with his wife and three children. The three children, of whom the deceased was one, had hardly recovered from a severe form of scarlatina. Near the spot is the open sewer, which was so often com plained of last year, as the source of cholera and all kinds of disease, and at present it is in a most filthy state." Also at 10, Albert -street, in the same sub district, on the 14th July, the son of a shoemaker, aged 1 year, died of "cholera (4 days)." " This house is well drained, and remarkably clean." At 8, St. Peter's-place, \Valworth-common, on 15th July, the daughter of a cab proprietor, aged 7 months, died of "dentition, cholera Arglica (5 days)." SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING.—The Pe ninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ripon. Captain Moresby, has arrived here with the heavy portion of the Indian mail. She brings seventy-four passengers, amongst whom is the lion. Mr. Davis, the United States Commissioner to China, also specie value 5,000/., and a large cargo of silks and general nierchandiie. Sir W. Parker's fleet was crui•ing in the neighbourhood of Malta. The Peninsular mail steamer Jupiter sailed from Gibraltar for Southampton, to touch at Lisbon, on the 16th inst. PETITION OF DR. WEBSTER.—To his Excellency the Governor, and to the Honourable Executive Council of the Commonwealth of Masiachusett2.—John White Webster, a convict, under sentence of death in Boston gaol, in behalf of himplf and of his wife and his children, respectfully petitions that the sentence awarded against him by the law may be commuted to such other less horrible and ignominious punishment as your honourable body may mercifully decree. Your petitioner fully admits that he was tried before a fair and impartial tri• bunal, and, under the law as it exists, his jury, com posed of honourable and highminded men, could have returned no verdict other than they did. But he re• spectfully reminds your honourable body that the two great moral ingredients of the crime of murder, malice and pre meditation, have never been found against him by a jury, but have been necessarily inferred by the arbitrary rules of the law, from certain general facts which your petitioner will not deny, but the extenuating details of which no man in your petitioner's situation can ever possess legal evidence to prove. These details your petitioner has confided to the friend who presents his petition, with authority to state them to your honourable body, in the hope that you will find therein reason to extend to your petitioner and his family that mercy of which the law has made you the dispensers. And your petitioner will ever pray.—J. W. WEnsTER.— Boston, June, 1850. KINGSLAND AND DALSTON LITERARY INSTITUTION. —A call of 10t. per sharels to be made on the shareholders in this society, to pay off its liabilities. MONEY MA.RKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 9 per mille,, which, at the „English Mint price of 34 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.37; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.40, it follows that gold is 9.11 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 433 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17g. 10id. per ounce for standara gold, gives an exahaoge of 13.9; and the ex change at Hamburgh ou London at short being 13.91, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in Lon don than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for:bills at 60 days' sight is 110} per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 par cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in favour of Eng land, and after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. PAINTINGS.—EXETER CATHEDRAL.—AR interest ing discovery of wall paintings has just been made in scraping the walls of the Chapter House of Exeter Cathedral. Be neath the windows this edifice dates about 1230, and the wall is recessed into deep early English coupled niches, with hold detail, in clustered shafts, caps, and arch mouldings. The hack of each of there recesses is found to have had a figure about six feet high, standingunder a trefoil-headed crocketted canopy, on alternately a red and black ground. The spandrel spaces of the arches are filled with foliage, shaded with black. All the probable saints are so defaced that not a feature can be traced, and the same treatment has been bestowed on two tall compositions adjacent to the east window, each having two niches in the height, relieved with a black ground, elegantly diapered with orange stars ; with stars on a red border, forming the parallelogram outline, coved into a corbel form below. The painting is apparently iu oil, and of the third pointed period, somewhat in corre spondence wish the gorgeously painted and gilt roof added by Bishop Lacy in the fifteenth century to the perpendicular superstructure erected by him. The name of David has shown itself on the base of a series of unoccupied niches (now re stored), which probably once contained other prophets, priests, and kings of Holy Writ.—Builder.

It appears that about a fortnight ago the youngest child died, and-was buried on Saturday, the 13th. The other child was taken ill, and, although two me dical gentlemen attended it, it died the following day. The symptoms having attracted the suspicions of the medical men, the body was exhumed, and the result was the dis covery of a quantity of arsenic in the stomach. The other child was then exhumed by the direction of the Coroner, and on examination the body was found to contain arsenic also. Other circumstances of suspicion against the prisoners afterwards transpired, and they were both apprehended. After the proceedings, which were conducted in private, had terminated, the prisoners were remanded. The Atmopyre is the name of a curious arrange ment for warming, cooking, &c., by means of gas, invented by Mr. D. 0. El wards, a surgeon. The gas is burnt on the outside of small " hoods," made of the material of the common tobacco-pipe, perforated with holes the 50th part of an inch hi diameter. in imitation of Sir Humphrey D avy's safety lamp reversed. Gas is introduced into it, and there mixes spontaneously with atmospheric air, forming a kind of artificial fire-damp. This mixture, being ignited on the out side of the vessel, discharges itself in numerous diminutive explosions; the earthenware is enveloped in a coat of pale blue flame, becomes soon red-hot, and presents the appear ance of a solid red flame. The " hood" is the exact converse of Sir liumplirey's I intern. The explosive gas is inside, instead of outside: the flame on the exterior is prevented from penetrating and kindling the contents of the chamber by the narrowness of the aperture. The explosive mixture, bring minutely divided, is burnt piecemeal at the outer orifice of each hole, producing a slight murmuring noise, and I great heat is evolved.—Builder, l'aid.
