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 Venconver'a Island; and if so, with whom the appointment of governor rests, with the Hudso n ' s B ey C ompany, or w i t h t he Noble Lord the Colonial Secretary. Alse, if there are any re turns of the number'of colonists to V an couver's Island, or of the quantity of land sold there?

CRUELTY ON TH,E COAST. Sir E. N. BUXTON drew the attention of the Hon. Gentleman the Under-Secretary for the Colonies to a cise 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 Geese oreauteets, and was cruelly tortured by his master, and another officer named Stuart. It was adterwards discovered that Eno.- kine wet not the thief, but that the property had been stolen by a soldier under the command of the master. Ho 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-usege? Mr. HAWES replied that the case was now under the consideration of the Commauder-in-Chief, who alone could deal, with it so fir ao the oacers were concerned. With regard to the latter question the Colonial-office had Co porrar ff.) snake the negro any compen.setien, het he 4 reeesde ie the occurs of kw. I:C.ILF:tidesSTICAL TITLES BILL. . On C. 0.; otdar te' the dey being real for res.:atm, fi;easeed :7e to On tt , th Eccelesiastical Titles Bill, l - ZnYNOLDS moved that the House et it rising should adjourn road Monday. The SYEAKERO intimated that the . Hon. Member .Quid not make such a Motion after the order of the day had been read.—(Hear.) Mr. REYNOLDS—Then I more that this debate ho now 'adjourned. The SPEAKER—Tiae Hon. Member haring .heady spoken be cannot move, the aajouremant of the debate. —(Laughter and cheers.) After the presentation of a considerable number of petitions against the Eccletiestical Titles Bill, The House divided on tha motion for going into Com mittee on the Bill, when there appeared— For going into Committee Against it ... Majority for going into Committee —Si On re entering the gallery we found that the House bad gone into Committee, with Mr. Beaman in the chair. On the question that the preareb/o be postponed, .Me. KEOGH rose to move that the preamhle should be take's first, for he contended that at present the Haase had not betere 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 firm, in order that the country might see what its nature was. . Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he could not accede to the proposition of the Hoe. Gentleman, because it was now some time since the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Department bad 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 ou 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. and Learned Gentleman to ascertain what their nature was, and to express the opinion 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. tho ... 116 ... 35 Mr. DISRAELI said that the position of the House with respect to the amendments a dc t i r o t n a i n b l y y t b h e e e N n v o t h •r i y e Pore a much changed sin ce the reeentd had c- rtainly been vtry nuch changed since the rccentdiara Lord, that the rescript o f the P:- appointing Cardinal re Witerean was p a rt and p arce l of ari n 3 t the ci ,, il and religious liberties cl at the conspirsey Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that whactouhe country stated WZS that it was part of a conspiracy in Europe, p r e v h e f-' n ri t i ' the extension of civil and religious liberty n ~' 7 , " 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 ray that it was the most important statement which had fallen from a Prime Miniater during the present century. Th e question was then, whether the Bill now before them wee 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 of the Government to have secured his removal, t° have Met the conspiracy in a manner which would show that this country was determined to baffle it.

The CHAIRMAN asked if it would be for the conve- Lord NAAS presented a petition from the spirit thence of the Committee that the preamble should be dealers of' Ireland, pr a yi ng f or ehe .e• reeeal of the entics postponed ? levied upon home-made spirits. Mr. KEOGH considered that the preamble should be GUNPOWDER STORES (LIVERPC - iOL) BILL, first taken in order. The Noble Lord had said that he This Bill was broiled , ' by Si,G. GPEld r eed heat had abandoned his own preamble to the Bill. e e .in k. . 4 a , a time, and ordered to be read a second time this day Lord JOHN RUSSELL — No. week. Mr. KEOGH—Then the Noble Lord adopted the' preamble of the Hon. and Learned Member for Mid hurat—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, tut it was as a distinct clause. Mr. KEOGH understood the Noble Lord to say that be intended to introduce a further recital into the pre- L , e o s r t d e d s a b i yd that hilocpnr.efaenrrdedLt amble. Was not that true?—(Hear.) Then the Noble Learned n a e d d o p A t i i ci e n m b o e f r w f o o r r d s sug mid. hurst. it was little matter whether these words were in the preamble or in a clause. The Noble Lord de dared that he intended to make serious alterations in his own Bill—(gean hear)—that he intended to leave out the second, third, and fourth clauses; and that the Goverment would have a Bill with one clause, and that thine were other words to be introduced either as a pre amble or as a clause. Now, he put in to the Houso , 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.— (Lend cheers.) The Hen. Member for Somerset, adieu had voted for the Bill, had informed him that if there v ere no other person in that House to neeke the matnte he would move that the Bill should be repriencl. Before they we nt one step further ho said the Bi.i ought to be reprinted.—(Bear, 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 mode for no purpose of delay; the object was, on the contrary, to secure a ftir and legiti mate progrees with the measure before them—to hove 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, it he theuld relept, he (Lord J. Russell) would certainly abide by. What he proposed to do was to leave out the clauses to which he hat" before referred—to retain the first clause—to adopt as a clause that part of the preamble of the Hon. Member (Mr. Sh'alpole) to which he had tenire referred; then he put the preamble in the state in which the Secretary of State said ho was willing to have it; to have the Bill printed and then to go into Com mittee on Monday, on the uoderstanding that there would be no debate on the question that the Sp•:aker leave the chair. It the lion. and Learned Gentleman the Member for hticlieurst would also consent to go into Committee with the Bill us 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 propoei , 'don, es he endereteed the No't'e Lord merely proeceed ',test the tdhl ebeeld be rep , :wed ; ) - .0 ;.h...!, c7,!1..a before them it 'et - Atli he ern ee them to effer ell er 4 , 11 - tiiit'.::n w w hieh they thou g ht we , ca ll e d fee. Lord J. RUS.ait:LL irdi the Hen. and Learned Gen tleman had entirety explained hie tee aring. When the Bill ova, reprintee, the whole gantion would be open for discussion,—(Bear, hear.) Mr. GRATTAN protested strongly against this insane and trumpery species of leeislation, and was proce e di ng 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 celled upon Lord John Russell not to include Ire- Mad 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 tne course proposed by the Noble Lord a reasonable one. What they , were now doing was going through the Committe e pro forma to enable the Government to reprint the Bid, and accordingly the House would have before it the ail, in that form by which the Government intended to abide. —(Olean) 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 lir n the second, third, and fourth clauses would be struck oat, and the Bill in that amended form would then come before them—(llear)—leaving open to him to sug gest tiny amendments he might think needful. Ho ad mitted taste there were great difficulties as to the in former's clause; but he must say that he found it diffie nult to recede 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), be said that if the lion. Member would convince him that in anything he pro pesed there would he an interference with the spiritual functions of Roman Catholic bishops and clergy, he would give up his amendments.—(Hear, hear.) He would, be declared, propose no amendment that would interfere itdch 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 Pope •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 lion. Friend could propose an amendment of his own. In Committee, he suggested, that in this, as in all other Bills, 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 re-committed on Monday. ICOALWHIPPERS' BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of the Coalwhippers (Port of London) Bill, Mr. HULE 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 thepre 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 'Select Com mittee on Mortnsain do consist of 18 Members ; that Mr. Monsell, Mr. Napier, and Mr. Keogh be added to the Committee: Mr. HEADLAM said he was the person 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 Committees should be reduced to fifteen; and he thought that that rule should not be departed from without some special circumstances being !feigned es a reason for that course, as the rule had been 'amid' to .

On the motion that the House at its rifting adjourn to Monday next, s Sir B. HALL wished go call the attention of the Chief Commissioner of Sewers to a few facts of an extraordi nary nature with which he 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 Act under 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 banded a rough bit of paper, without any date or signature to verify 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 now 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 reeolution of the Court passed within the last few weeks recommending that a sum of 10,000/. be borrowed at five per cent. for five years? Hering 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 aro so mixed up together," and certainly he never saw documents in such a dis graceful state of confusion. He would advise any rate psyrr 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 thire might be no doubts as to the accuracy of whet 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 nut against his words or that of his Noble Friend, but against those of the secrrtary. And yet, with such a state of things, the Noble Lord (Lord Ebrington), in reply to a question of his a short time hack, stated with the utmost sang froid that a rate of one million sterlirg 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 sewer, 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 besu 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 bad led to one lamentable result, which wee this—that whereas tbo liabilities of the for mer Consinissionors ameueted when they came into office to 58,195/., the liabilitict of rite preterit Commis sioners, owing to their miserable management, amounted now to 135,3422—(E:5r, heer,) Hi ; , Noble Friend shook his herd; but to (Sir J 3. 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 accords nce 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 tooting; for 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 he had read, because what he had read had been taken down and authenticated at the office of the Commissioners of Sewers.—(Cheers.) Lord EBRINGTON said he 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 ho 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 busingss of the Commission. Upon this point he bad to referWhe 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 92, and that the number of Committees was 77.—(Hears) This 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 or pages had to be copied with the original minutes.—(Hear, hear.) The Commissioners, in addi tion 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," bad to be translated by the efficer 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 en indictment preferred against the inhabitants of a parish for non-repair the words of the court required subsea 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 tim3 theY bestowed on the enormous mass of business coming e 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 becatne 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 continue 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 was true that the report of the Victoria-street sewer— the report of Mr. Smith—had been received upon the same day that the Commissioners directed their engi neer to inspect the sewer and prepare a report on that some points The engineer went to the Committee of the he brought a roungdhsaiddl‘riahtfet would r h t.h e dhitmo Smith's e report,ult t h t e ti em ando n connected ete sub ject. on Ito Committee vio u-1d told him to revise the draft, said that they notreceive receive it in its rough state, but that they acd on a subsequent day presentreedvliste.d shape on acme future day, $ e his report in its final accordingly, The Honourable C7Pftril The'ro m was again cleared, and the Committee came to the resoltrion that they could not accede to tho appli cation of Mr. Sergeant Kinglake. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE then proposed entering upon the scrutiny, and in the first instance objected to the vote of Robert John Bagshaw, on the ground of want of resi dt nee, and not sufficient occupation. Mr. JA2IEE Formaily obi .;!.e ,- .1. As the Committee had esprcsaly deei4ed that Air. PrinPep hail not a proper qualitieeion under the tat sad 2d "Vietoris, chap. 48, to enable um to tit in Parliament, he was flopped from being , heard s:gaicwt the votes polled by Mr. Crawford, who was now in a majority. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE was heard on the other side. Parties were then ordered to withdraw, and on the doors being re-opened, The CHAIRDIAN said the Committee had resolved to allow Mr. Kinglake to proceed with the scrutiny. The Committee weroaccupied during the remainder of the day with the consideration cf Mr. Bagshaw's vote. EXHIBITION OF ARMOUR AT SAVILLE HO USE, LEICESTER-SQUARE. (THIS DAY.) We attended this morning a private view of the splendid collection of armour which will be opened to the public on Monday, at Saville House, Leicester square. The collection comprises many hundred pieces of engraved, inlaid, and battle armour, in the finest state of preservation; indeed, as a collection of battle armour of the 15th and 16th centuries, it may be pronounced to be the largest and most complete in the world. This splendid hii orient collection is well known to connoisseurs as the Maximilian collection, having formerly belonged to the EMperors Maximilian I. and 11. It was in Bel gium about forty years since, and a very large sum was asked for its purchase; it was subsequently imported into this country, and remained in the Custom-house warehouse for nearly thirty years, from whence it was purchased by the present proprietor. In addition to the armour, there is to be found in this hall every variety of offensive weapon in use in the fifteenth century; some of the rapiers are exceedingly beautiful. This exhibi tion is, as a whole, most interesting. - - - - - - - MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) A slight change for the better is perceptible in our market, both in the inquiry fOr shares and business done —the latter being chiefly, as usual, in dividend mines; but, on the whole, the value of these shares is on the de cline, for which the legitimate reason may be found in their having ruled at too high prices a few months ago; still, favourite dividend shares are not easily acquired, except at advanced rates—the tenacity with which they are held being in accordance with their intrinsic value. In other undertakings, a diminution of demand is too apparent not to become a noticeable feature in the week's operations; whilst the %ore ephemeral projects of the day have become, as theyought to be, utterly ne glected ones. LI the Metal Market, Copper moves off steadily.— Lead is quiet, and rather easier.—But little has been done in Tin, and prices aro quite nominal.—A moderate business doing in Yellow Metal Sheathing. The imports during the mock have included—from Flamburgh, 1,471 plates of spelter, 65 casks of plum bago, 13 casks of copperas; Stettin, 30 ; 270 plates of spelter, 126 casks of zinc ash, 11,215 plates of zinc; Carthegena, 1,700 pigs of l ea d ; Li ca t a , 300 t ons o f brimstone ; Singapore, 2,553 slabs of tin; and Gothen burg, 4,717 bars of iron.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.-(THIS DAY.) HARWICH. The Committee at again this morning; Mr. Ker Seymer in the chair. On the assembling of the Members the room was cleared, and after an hour's deliberation the parties were re-admitted, and The CIidIEMAN announced that the Committee had come to the decision that the vote of William Pinner was! bad vote. This placed Mr. Crawford, the unsuccessful candidate, in a majority of onr. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE, on behalf of Prinser, the sitting Member, called upon the counsel for the petitioners either to proceed with the remaining putt of their case, re : p cc ti ng th e disqualification of Mr. Prinsep on the ground of bribery, or to abandon it, and allow him to enter upon a scrutiny of the votes polled by Mr. Crawford. He wag quite ready to go on with his case, but he objected to the petitioners calling upon him to do so while they reserved some allegations for the sifter consideration of the Committee. Mr. JAMES contended that is was duty of his Learned Friend to proceed now with his case. If he did not, he should call upom the Committee to declare Mr. Craw ford elected, as ho was in a majority of one vote over Mr. Pripsep. URDAY EVENING, MAY 17, 1851, 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 ref...renee to the order cf the House.—(Hear.) Now, when he interrupted the Hon. Baronet respecting the alleged financial position of the Commissioners, be did its financial on this ground, that th e s t atement di d not conta i n financial position at present, though it did se4 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 bean 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 eppeal from the vestry of Mary lebono to the Commons of England.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUMEsaid that nothing which bad fallenfrom the Noble Lord who had just sat down would make up for the irregularity with which the accounts were kept.— (Hear, hoar.) The Hon. Baronet (Sir B. Hall) had not imputed criminality, but he had shown that the accounts were in such a state of confusion as to justify the com plaints made by the inhabitants of Mar}lebone.— (Hear.) He (Mr. Hume) had heard that the Victoria sower bad been executed by the Commissioners at an expense of 50 per cent. above the estimate; and there fore ho sincerely hoped the Government would inquire and ascertain whether the lion. Baronet's charges on the present occasion were correct.—(Hear.) Lord EBRINGTON denied that the accounts were in a state of confusion. The subject hero dropped; and the motion that the Houso at irs rising should adjourn to Monday was put and agreed to. • The House adjourned at a giarter to Eight o'clock. During the week, sales have been effected in Alfred Consols, Bedford, Cefa Bruno, Cook's Kitchen, Cwmyat with, Devon Great Consuls, East Basset, Lewis, Lis burn, South Caradon, Sr. Aubyn and Grylls, Tincroft, Tregorden, Treviakey, Mary Ann, Trclawny, Old Bas set, Lamberooo Maria, Elerodsfoot, Mold Mines, Tre mayne, and Kircudbright.

Very little done in Foreign shares —a few only having changed hands in Australian, Cobre, Mexican and South American, United Mexican, and St. John del. Rey. At the Australian Mining Company's meeting, on Tuesday, the committee appointed on 3d Feb. handed in their report. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.)

LYDD.—Mighty us are the benefits mankind have de rived from the a; t of printing during the space of nearly four centuries during which it bas been in operation, they probably amount to but a small portion of the whole cum of good, which in its ultimate extension it is des tined to confer on our race. Literature and books, even before the era of this great invention, were the chief sources from which the moral light of the world was drawn. We can hardly °conceive a form of civilization without them. Eren while books could only be multi plied by the slow process of transcription by the hand, although direct communication with them was necessa rily confined to a few. still their indirect influence was extensive. We shall not dilate upon the immense mul tiplication of the power of books which must have in stantly followed the discovery of the art of multiplying their numbers by the printing press. It was the mightiest revolution which the history of the world had known. The wave which it, set in motion has been rolling on till now, and that wave has still much farther to roll. Much as the art of printing has already accomplished, its greatest triumphs, we believe, are yet to come. Even up to the present hour its advantages have been con fined. Tho great mass of the population still remains to be brought into actual contact with the enjoyments and blessings of which it is the dispenser. We have often seen cause to regret the want of Public Libraries and Reading Rooms in places where the population was amply sufficient to maintain a well-selected library; and we could only attribute it to the fact, that the plan of a popular institution bad not been exhibited. Our readers are aware that the principle of " libraries for the many" has been successfully established at Ashford, and other towns in this part of the county—all equally zealous in promoting the spread of sound know ledge of the Creator's works among all classes of the community; and we have now the pleasure of recording what may bo done in a field more limited, and with smaller means. The desire to establish a public library, &c., at Lrdd, on which " a dawn of light has begun to appear," was entertained some time back; end it was at length determined by the principal tr a d esmen , farmers, &c., to asso c i ate together in the pleasant work of mental improvement, and on such terms that all classes might avail themselves of the benefit. With this view, application was made to the Rev. John Dalton, Rector of Warehorne, who, it is well known, takes a lively interest in such undertakings, and in improved popular education, and who, it was con ceived, by his ability and experience, would be of great service in promoting the object which the people of Lydd had so much at heart, and in furnishing a body of suggestions for the formation and conducting the in stitution in the mode which experience had proved to be most likely to secure the full advantages of which such institutions may be made productive. Accordingly, on the 1011 of April, a public tea meeting was held in the Assembly Rooms, at which 107 persons were pre sent. Shortly afterwards tho Rev. Mr. Damn (whose gratuitous services were promptly and obligingly ren dered) delivered an excellent lecture "On the British Colonies and Emigration," and kindly consented, at its close, at the unanimous request of a crowded audience, to visit them again, and address them on subjects adapted to the occasion. Attracted by this announcement, on Thursday evening last a numerous audience attended at 'he Assembly Rooms, and the Rev. Lecturer delivered "An Introductory . Lecture" on the subject of public libraries—the necessity of their being of acknowledged and admited excellence—on the advantages and plea sures of knowledge and science (the Learned Lecturer giving a brief outline- of the most important and useful of the sciences)—the privileges of literature, lectures, and true taste, &c., Sze.—" the cheap amusements of a mind at ease:"— "V hat though no marble breathes, no canvas glows, From every point a ray of genius flows! Be mine to bless the more mechanic skill, That stamps, renews, and multiplies at will." The Reverend .Lecturer was very cordially received, and his address, occupying nearly two hours in the de livery, was listened to with interested attention. His observations throughout were those of a mind which has evidently devoted much thought to the matter on which ho treated, and has, besides, kept fully up with the progress of the different branches of science.
