[The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night FRANCE. Additional particulars have been:reeeived respecting the reception of Prince Louis Napoleon on his journey to St. Qantin. his arrival at the different towns on the route could not have created greater enthusiasm or have elicited from the population more gratifying, tr ibutes of their affection towards himself per sonally. Taking his departure from Paris on the Northern Railroad, the President was accompanied by Colonels Vaudry, Edgar Ney, Major Fleury, Captain Toulongue, Dr. Cunneen, and the Ministers of War, Public Works, sad the Interior. At Pontoiee, at Creil, at Compeigne, at Chaunay, and at last at St. Quentin, the arrival of the Prince was the signal for the most vociferous cheers and reiterated shouts of "Vive la President!" "Vive Napoleon!" The religious ceremony of the inauguration of the railroad is thus deseribed :—" As soon as each person occupied the place allotted to him, the Bishop of Soissons, with mitre on head and crozier in hand, advanced a few paces to where Louis Napoleon was seated, and addressed him in the midst of universal silence. He said that religion was most happy when blessing the useful industry of man, and calling down the favour of Heaven on the improvements and inventions useful to mankind. He cougratulated the President on the readiness with which he bad yielded to the wishes of the inhabitants to open in per son the railroad. He reminded him t h at his uncle had also visited, whi n Consul in 1801. and when Emperor in 1810, that spot, to encourage and hasten on the immense works of the canal of St. Quentin. The President re plied in a becoming manner to the Prelate; and immediately afterwards the engines advanced to receive the episcopal benediction. The bishop descended from the platform, and sprinkling holy water on the read and on the engines, pronounced three times a solemn blessing on all. The moment the last pious words were uttered the band of the National Guard struck up, and the people uttered a shout of Tim Napoleon,' which was again and again taken up. The President kissed the consecrated amethyst on the bishop's finger, and received his paternal salute in return. Afte , wards the Prince mounted on horseback and re . viewed some 20,000 of the line and National Guards, being greeted with cries of " Viva Napoleon!" and sometimes of " Vive l'Empereur 1" At the grand ban quetgiven to the President of the Republic. at six o'clock, in the theatre, in reply te. the toast of his health, the Prince delivered the following speech:— " Gentlemen,—Were I always free to follow my own wishes, I should come amongst you without pomp or ceremony. I should like to mingle with your labours, as with your festivities, unknown, in order that I may the better judge, by myself, of your desires and of y our sen timent-- But it seems as if destiny always placed a barrier between you and me, and I regret that I have never been able to be a simple citizen of my country. I passed, as you know, six years of my life at some leagues dis tance from this town ; but high walls and moats sepa rated me from you ; and, on this day, the duties of au official position also set arate me from you. Thus it is that you scarcely know me ; while pains are taken and efforts employed to discredit in your eyes every act of mine and every sentiment. Happily, the name I bear re-assures you, and you know from what a high source I have derived my convictions. The mis sion I have to perform now is not a new one ; its origin and its object are alike known. When near 48 years ago the First C msul stood on this spot to inaugu rate the Canal of St. Quentin, as I do now to inaugurate your railroad, he came to say to you, Tratquillise yourselves! the storm has passed away. The great truths of our Revolution shall triumph through me ; but, with equal energy, with equal force, I will re press modern errors and ancient prejudices, re store security, and encourage all useful enterprises. New sources of industry will arise to enrich our fields, and improve the condition of our people.' You have only to look round, my friends, to be convinced that he has fulfilled his promise. My task is this day similar, though much less difficult. We must always accept the good instincts of the revolution, but combat boldly the bad ones. It is n- cessary to endow the people with institutions of beneficence and relief, such as are befitting, and, above all, convince them that order is the first source of prosperity. But, according to me, order is not the word void of sense which each man interprets at his fancy. According to me, order is the maintenance of all that has been freely chosen and consented to by the people. It is the na tional will triumphing over all factions. Courage then, citizens of St. Qientin! Continue to do honour to the nation by the products of your industry. Have confi dence in my exertions and those of the Government t protect your enterprises, and to ameliorate the condition of your workmen." _ _ On resuming his seat, Louis Napoleon was hailed with prolonged acclamations. It was obseived at Chaurnny that the Prince met M. Odilon Barrot on thk platferm, and that, tor the first time since the retirement cf the latter from office, they conversed together for a long while in a maiaier the moat friendly and familiar.

Rough Fat is freely offered at 2s per stone. OlLS.—Although there are sellers of Linseed Oil at a fur ther reduction, yet home dealers operate with caution, and the export orders completed have been small, whilst prices rule at 29e to 29s 3d per cwt. Few contracts have been entered into for . delivery, but lower rates are not looked for, as supplies have decreased, ant consumption continues of a satisfactory nature. Rape seed Oil is cheaper, and few buyers are to be met with, as large parcels are on offer; pale is OA-linable at 36s to 36s 6d, brown 25s to 35s 6d, and Foreign Refined at 37s to 37s 6d. Palm met with less demand, and pre vious rates are barely sustained, although supply is not much larger than in the previous week, and 30s to 35s 6d is the value of fine quality. In Cocoa Nut Oil a good deal has been done by private treaty, prices are, how ever, much the same as previously. About 300 tons have been sold, good and fine Cochin and Ceylon at 29s to 32s per cwt.

Sperm Oil is wanted at previous advanced rates, and supply is small, whilst B'l to 861 per tun is the value of tine quality. Prime Headmatter has been selling at 90t to 92/, and yet scarce. In Cod operations have been small at 34/ lOs to 3.5/ ; lower rates are expected to prevail. Seal met with greater attention, and realised rather higher rates; the parcels sold were at 301 lOs to 311 for pale, and at 281 to all for other sorts. Other Oils are rather cheaper, but at auction 55 tuns Sea Elephant all sold at 321 15s to 33/ per tun. BANK OF FRANCE. The following is a return of the situation of the Bank of France on June 6:— IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ASSETS. ROUSE OF COSLVONS, June 11.

Ditto on French public securities ... Ditto by branch banks... ... Ditto to the State on Bons du Tresor... Ditto on the loan of 150 millions ... (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. AicFrman COPELAND said he had greaz, objec tion to the 30th clause with respect to the amount of com pensation. He would ask the promoters of the Bill if they thought they were dealing fairly with the public? The rate of 6s. 2d. for each interment would very greatly increase the amount of burial tees to be paid. Taking Shoreditch, he found the average amount of fees on each burial was 2s. 4d. In Islingt , on it wa,, cer tainly, 6s. 6d. In Bethnal-green it sank to ls. 6d., and in Lambeth to 35. 6d. Now was the Right Hon. Baronet prepared to increase the fees of burials in those districts where, though the people were poor, they still took an honest pride in burying their own dead, from is. 6d. to 6s. 21? It would have the effect of raising the expense of interment fees very materially indeed to all but the pauper classes. In Bethnal-green the increase would be 400 per cent. He would venture to enter into a statis tical argument with the Noble Lord at the head of the Board of Health, and to maintain that instead of Si. being the average amount, 45. was more correct, and that with respect to ad classes. He would urge upon the Government to lower the sum of 6i. 2d. to 4;=. which he was convinced was a much more just amount. Sir GEORGE GREY said th4t he bileved the sta tistics of the Noble Lord (Lord Ashley) were the most correct, and he could not consent to lower the standard. Lint DUDLEY STUART said he must again put the question which had te,t yet been answered, and that was whether the Board of Health was to have the disposal of the surplus fund which it was expected might perhaps accrue, and if not, who was to have the dis posal of it? Sir G. GREY said that it would be devoted to make some provision for the spiritual aid of the large and growing population of those districts. He thought the principle was one which Was well worthy of being en tertaincd by the Committee. Lord DUDLEY STUART said the Right Hon. Baronet had stated the objects of the fund, but had not mentioned who was to have the disposal of a. Sir GEORGE GREY could not answer that question at present. 35,392.537 38 ... 65,946,731 0 734,700 0 513,276 0 18,664,019 85 2,041,630 0 50,000,000 0 50,000,000 0 Rentes of the reserve fund ... 10,000,000 Rentes, disposable funds ... 42,394,488 13 Investments of the new branch banksin the public funds ...

Clause 31 was struck out. On clause 32, Sir B. Hall was Proceeding to make some remarks which were entirely, inaudible, when some Honourable Members round him desired him to speak louder. Sir B. HALL said that he was speaking as loud as he could. He h a d address e d some thousands of persons in different l arge meetings, and he had never had any difficulty in making himself heard, but this only showed the ni cessity of what had been suggested last night, that a Committee of some five or six gentlemen should be appointed to decide what should be done with this House.—(Hear, hear.) But, however, with respect to the clause he was proceeding to show what had been done in several cases in the metropolis by clergymen with a view to increase their incomes by burial fees, and in particular be would instance the Rector of St. Giles, who was a gentleman too well off, a prebend of St. Paul's. It had been elicited in evidence that in the burial-ground of St. Giles, which was too full to allow of more burials, when an interment took place, all the loose earth was thrown over the body until the friends left the grave, and then the body was taken out and placed in a private vault, and afterwards made away with, body and coffin and all, in order to make more room for other inter ments, and to increase the amount of burial fees. This had been done so late as last November, During three Years and a half ending 1849 the number of burials injthe burial-ground of St. Giles was 12,221; and that burial-ground contained about four acres of land. The rector of that parish, he (Sir B. Hall) con tend. d, bad received 4,0001. odd more for burial fees that he ought to have received. Now he (Sir B. Hall) con tended that special cases of that kind ought to be taken into consideration. It frequently happened that the dead bodies in that burial-ground were dug up and carried away in a wheelbarrow, with the body divided from the head, arid thrown into a hole, there to putrefy and decompose, in order that more ground might be found for that most exorbitant rector of St. Giles. Yet that man had said that his burial-ground was in a most admirable state. The truth was, in addition to what hai been sited, that the rector kept a part of the ground for the burial of the higher classes, from whom he could get higher fees than he got from the lower classes.-- ( Hear, hear.) The sexton of the Reverend Gentleman, the rector of St. Giles, began his life as a soldier, was afterwards a parson, then he became sexton to this Rev. Gentleinan who made those exactions, and then he be came, as the natural course, an undertaker and stone mason.—(Laughter.) He (Sir B. Hall) now gave notice, on the bringing up of the report, that he would move a clause fur the purpose of meeting such abominations as those. The House resumed in the 0.4.1 Chamber at past Five o'clock. PETITIONS. Sir GEORGE GREY had not the least information on those subjects; but he believed the rector of St. Giles was utterly incapable of giving his sanction to the proceedings described by the Right lion. Baronet the Member for Marylebone. Mr. GOULBURN was understood to question the ac curacy of those statements, believing, ,it they had been trite, they would king ago have boon redressed by the in habitants of the large parish in question. Sir B. HALL said, in November last an examination was instituted into the state of the burial-ground of:,'St. Giles, at the instance of the Board of Health. Mr. Tyler, the rector, was' in the chair, and objected to the representatives of the public press bing present to re port the proceedings.—(Rear, hear.) The gravediggei said, in is evidence on that occasion, "We do pretend to till up the grave when the mourners are present, bu Co soon as they are gone we must make room. sad we remove them to the family vaults."—{Hear, hear.) The teeter rt fused to allow this evidence to go forth to the public. ' If the House were to make compensation foi mouses such as that a great portion of the fund would be taken away. Mr. WAKLEY regretted to say that all that the Hen. Baronet (Sir B. Hull) had stated was but too true, but in all probability the Rev. Mr. Tyler was not himself aware of those proceedings until the inquiry revealed them, because the funeral service was performed by the ROI. Mr. Pratt, his sexton.—(Laughter.) Lord ASHLEY was understood to say he had no official intormetion as to. the proceedings spoken of by the lion. Baronet (Sir B. Hall). Mr. . BRIGH r asked, the Howe if they would per mit this stonemason, sexton, undertaker, soldier, and parson, and this rector, to carry on their nefarious trade? The graveyard in question was pur chased for the parish of St. Giles by the' ratepayers of that parish; and it did appear to him a monstrous thing that the r a t e p ayera s h ou ld be called on to subscribe money for this burial-ground, and that the clergyman should put into his pocket all the profits which arose irom burials there. As a Dissenter he (Mr. Bright) did not care much to meddle with theee matters; but to suppose that men ahoull tolerate within their own chuii 1 a system like that only male him wish that every such churchman should carry a parson on his back to the last day of his life.—(Laughter.) Sir B. HALL read a let er, which he had received frous an inhabitant of the parish to confiin his account with respect to the state t f the churchyard. The writer stated that several ci , ffins were nut more than nice inehee . from the surface. His house overlooked the gr ,veyard, and said he saw two men at work recently, one disinterring a coffin and di*membeting the body, and the other dig ging a hole for the reception of the mutPate I remains; adding that the shroud was almost t..e feet, and that he believed the body bad only been buried five weeks pre viously, and had been treated in tile way described in order to make room for other coffins. Colonel THOMPSON thought these tales of horror committed in certain graveyards had only been brought forward to induce them to make all possible haste with the Bill.—(Hear.) 'T h ey, however, gave ri,e to . a point of some dif f iculty. There was a story told of a merry monarch, who put a question to the Royal Society for solution, viz., the reason why a dead b o dy weighed more than a living one. The Royal Society occupied a considerable time in endeavouring to solve the pro blem, forgetting to ascertain in the filet instance whe ther the King was right in ass uming the fact which he had submitted to them.—(A laugh.) like- to know how much less ground i Now he would t would take to bury a body in when cut up and mutilated, than when in a whole and perfect state ? He hoped Hon. Members would not give credence to all these tales of horror. • , Sir P. NUGENT presented a petition from th, tillers of Longford, praying to be •placed on the footing as colonial spirit makers. Mr. BRIG EIT presented three petitions—one Edinburgh, tee other from Sudbury, and the hitt ft publ , c melting held in St. Pancras, praying the to abolish the punishment of death. THE FRANCHISE.

Mr. CHRISTY rose to ask the Secretary atl whether he could furbish a ny i n f orma ti on as to t he ber of pensioners aho may be proceeding tol *on's Bay thi* season, and also of those NO The clause was th en agree d to. Clauses 33 to 36 were th e n passed after some verbal amendments. Clauses 37, 38, amendments, were agreed to after a short discussion. Clauses 40 and 39, with some sli g ht ve rbal 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, and 52 w ere agreed to withou t discussion. Oa clausu 53 being proposed, Lord DUDLEY STUART rose and said he felt great obj ec ti on to t h e c l ause; in fact it was the mostob jectionable c l ause i n t h e Bill, and had caused' the greatest repugnance in the mi nds of the inh abitants of the met ropo li s towar d s the measure. It violated a great constituti ona l principle, privilege of local self-government.--(Hear, hoer.) The gr,atness, the prosperity, and the liberty of this country could be traced to the maintenance of that principle, out the and n o Government had a right to disturb it. This clause gave power to a board of Government Com turipeoi upon the r missioners to levy a tax upon the inhabitants of the In to express an opinion metropolis.

Mr. T. DUNCOIItiE was opposed to the principle of this clause. He contended that by it the House was called upon to trawler a privilege which was committed to it by the people, and which it could not impart to any other body. He would al what precedent was there for such a demand? Ho should oppose the clause in every possible Mr. STANFORD gave notice that he should move, instead of the rate not exceeding one penny, it should not exceed one halfpenny in the p7wrid. Sir G. PECHELL opposed the clause altogether, either with a penny or a halfpenny. Mr. Ald-rmart COPELAND wished to know what the Right Hon. Gentleman meant to do with the city of London. * No county rate was levied there at all. Sir GEORGE GREY said, if the fees did not satisfy the expenses then they would revert to the provision of a parochial representative board, for the purpose of levying a rate, instead of that central system, which the Bill coutc:mplated. He hoped the Committee would agree to the principle of the clause. Mr. STANFORD thought the. House could not du then limit Ih9 sum to th ,, minimum amount. Mr. WYLD said that the inhabitants of the metro polis to the impositi:on of a rate ashy form or kin.f inasmuch vs they were composed uf persons of tnix:d creed,: and the purpose for which tills rate was intended to be levied was the building of chapels in connexion with the Church of England.—(War, hear.) Atter a fi w wads from Sir B. HALL and Mr. LACY, Mr. STANFORD withdrew his amendment. Lord DUNCAN proposed that the words " one penny" should be struck out. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the proviso ... ... 36 Against it ... ... 100 Majority ... —64 The proviso was consequently rejected. Lord D. STUART said he was entirely opposed to the principle of the clause, and hope.' the House would not give an unconditional power to an irresponsible body on the flimsy promise held out by the Government that the rate might not be required. Mr. WAKLEY said this clause had produced the greatest hostility to the Bill out of doors, and if it were agreed to he was certain the measure would result in general discontent , on the part of the metropolis. At the same time, he readily admitted that it was perfectly absurd for the House to impose certain obligations on the Board of Health, and not give the Board the means of carrying them out; but in the early part of this dis cussion the Noble Lord at the head of the Board ststed Ms opinion, which was no doubt founded upon official inquiry, that the rate would not be required. Well, then, what he wished to submit to the Committee was, the propriety of postponing the consideration of this clause till a future period.--(Heer, hear.) His opinion will that it ought to be put off till next session.— (Hear, and a laugh.) In six or seven months from this time another session would be held, and as the pro ceedings of the board in that space could not be very extensive, or of a costly character, what earthly ob jection could there be in postponing the clause till it had been ascertained that the tax was absolutely necessary ?—(11( ar, hear.) If in the mean while the Board discovered that it could not do without the rate, and Government came down with information to prove it, be was quits sure the House would unani mously grant the power now sought by this clause. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the clause ... ... 93 Again.-t it 37 Mejority ... —56 The clause was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN reported progress; and on the pro position .that they should sit again on Friday next, Lord D. STUART.objected to proceeding with the Bill again at a morning sitting, but hoped, if they did so, they would sit in the old Hallo, as it was impossible to hear what passed. The louder they spoke the more diffi cult it was to hear. The sitting of the Committee was then fixed for Fti eay,. at twelve o'clock:" The Drainage and Improvement of Land Advances Bill was then read a third time and passed. The House then adk , arned at Halt-past Three to Half past Five. Several petitions were presented against Sulliday labour in the Post-office. Mr. F. FRENCH presented a petition from a Place in Ireland, praying for a uniform poor-rate in Ireland. Mr. FOX MAULE presented a petition from a place in Scotland against the Marriage Bill. Mr. MANGLES presented petitions from vairious metropolitan districts in favour of the Bill. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD presented a petition front the Birmingham Savings Bank againbt certain provisidus iu the Savings Bank Bill.

Mr. FOX MAULE said he might state, the' 1846, the Hudson's Bay territories ware withol protection of a British force of any description; 1846 disturb mces arose between the compan: certain parties Coming, ha believed, from Un't,d States, and it was found necessary to di a considerable body of troops there. Those troop_ __ - kept there for nearly two years, and it was found to be so isolated a position for her Majesty's troops that it was determined to provide for the protection of those territories in some other way. It was then resolved to send out a body Of pen sioners who, in addition to their pensions, should re ceive from the Hudson's Bay Company certain advan tages in lodgkog, land, and employment, for which tneir services should be available exactly in the same way as those of pensioners are made availablepamely,. that they should be required to go out for 12 dap within the year on drill, and that they should be obliged to turn out fur the preservation of the public peace, when called upon by the authorities. These pensioners were 56 in number, and the Government was about to add 20 more within the present year. In reply to Mr. HUME, Mr. FOX MAULE said that the officer in command of these pensioners had no instructions to interfere in any way with the internal affairs of the colony. Mr. CHRISTY asked if, the pensioners were paid by this country? draM. FOX wrtheirpenMsiAonUsLE said for past s th er e p vic e e n s, sio b n u e t r t s he c y on w tin er u e ed a t a o t further paid by this country. • - RAMSGATE AND MARATE HARBOURS. up to nt the. but in y and thy [spate' is were Mr, MACKINNON moved for a Select. Committee, to investigate the revenue, condition, and expenditure , of Ramsgste and Margate Harbours., The Honour able Member stated that the trustees of Ramsgate Harbour obtained a yearly revenue,of 21,0001 by dues on. vessels, in, of 5,0001. which they received in the ,shape of interest on money. making altogether total . annual income of 26,0001., and the whole of that sum was either spent in an extravagant way, or on works which were altogether unnecessary. At present the harbour would not:admit vessels of more than 350 tons, and dues amounting to several thousands pounds were laid on , vessels of larger tonnage, although they could not enter the harbour. After alluding to the revenue and - management of Margate-harbour, to which he also attributed similar abuses,' the Hon. Member concluded by proposing that a COmmittee should be ap pointed to report on the subject. The motion having been seeonded, Mr. MASTF,IRMAN, as one cf ,the trustees of ,Rams. gate Harbour, justified the course which they had pur sued. No funds could have been administered more use fully and properly, and the trustees courted the most rigid inquiry.. The Act of Parlianient 'authorised them to have a reserve fund of 50,0001., which they were not able to accumulate, until recently. It was true that the fund in hand Am. reached beyond that amount, and in consequence tbe trustees had it under their serious con sideration to propose some'alterations in the amount cf toll to be levied. It was their earnest desire to do every thing that waa.possible to benefit the skipping interest. —(Hear, hear.) He could not, as an individual trustee, state what the nature of the. alteration was likely.,to be; but he trusted that - he hid . said enough to iuduee the House to pause until the-truskes had declared their in tentions on the subject. -- . Sir Cr. PECHELL, thought that there never was a 135040A - 9.o l " l ,_.*„ lll— qi ur- Y- WO loudly Om this.. XI? should, however, call their attention also to the harbour of noir-T.. Every word that was eairl in respect to the evils conn..ct, d with IZ-4n4ga•ii Harb! , ur applied with eval fore to Dover. which could not be called a Fort except so fir as it had a Custom house to levy thetie dues. He proposed to add " Dover" after the word " itanisgate," • Mr. W. FAGAN said that there was a large steam packet company in Cork that were greatly interested in this question, as they sutf?red greatly by the dues de mandel at some of these harbours from their vessels whiA trstled between Liverpool and Rotterdem. Sir F. BARING thougt,t it was hardy fair, when the original motion was almost wholly confined to one harbour, for an Hon. M.Anb , ,,r, without any notice, to acid an additional harbour to the subject of inquiry. Al tho,tgh the matters involved might be a fit question for it.qatry, he thought that the amendment of the Hon. Gallant Member ought to take the shsipe of a sub stantive motion. H. was not going to defend the ori ginal arrangements connected with .Ramsgate Harbour ; but, after what had been stated by the Hon. Member for London, he thought.it would be much more expedient if the House would wait until: they saw what the trus tees would do in the matter. He would, therefore, re commend the Hon. Member for Lymington to withdraw hip rnoti. - 11 for the present. Mfr. HUME thought the Hon. Member fir Lyming ton had made out !i good case for inquiry, and Le hoped that. he would persist in his. motion. Looking at the changes that hal taken place in the imvigition-laws, to cou,idered it to be the duty of the Governuient to re move as fir as pussible. every Vox that w.s laid .up ,n shipping. We might as well be without a Government as have a Government like the present, thc did not do their duty. _ _ _ Mr. M - OFFATT thought that any inquiry that did not include Dover would be incomplete and unsatisfactory to the shipping interest. Mr. MACKINNON did not mean to cast the slightest imputation upon the trustees. He believed that they were all honourable men. He would consent to with draw his motion it the Hon. Member for London would give the House a pledge that the dues would be reduced Mr. MASTERMAN thought it most unreasonable to ask to give any such pledge. He had already stated that the subject was under the serious consideration of the trustees; and that they had evinced an tamest desire to do every justice to the shipping interest. They had it in contemplation to make a reduction in these dues, but what it was to be he thought it would be indiscreet of him at present to disclose.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. THORNELY thought that the Hon. Member for Lymingt :n was entitled to their thanks for bringing this qu stion before them. The House then divided on the amendment of Sir G. PECHELL,, when the numbers were— For the amendment ... 60 . Agaubt it ... 71 Maojrity against the amendment ... —ll The House again divided upon the original ;motion. The numbers were— For the motion ... ... 78 Against it... ... 47 • Majority for Mr. Mackinnon's motion —3l HOME-MADE SPIRITS. Petitions were presentYd by Mr. FAG AN and other Members in favour of the motion of the Noble Lord the Member for Kildare, respecting the duty on home-made Lord NAAS moved that the House resolve itself into Committee, to take into consideration the present mode of levying the duty on home made spirits. He rested his motion upon the ground that equal justice should be done to the home distillers which was shown to foreign distillers, as well as to the importers of colonial spirits. In levying the excise duty on spirits home produced, that duty was taken upon the spirits manufacture. - 1 in the distilleries—it was taken at the worm's end. If those spirits were then put into bond, no matter what might be the loss upon them, the distiller would be com pelled to pay upon the quantity not that he took out of bond, but oti which he wes charged in the distillery. On the other hand, the duty on foreign and colonial spirits was levied upon the actual quantity which was taken out of bond. In the letter case there was no lose, and in the other (ve a considerable loss might be incur red. Thus a great injustice was done to the home trade. —(Hear, hear.) _ It was that injustice he sought to have removed by the pretest motion.--(Hear.) He knew that he would be met in the first instance by !Aug told that the home spirits were pro ected by a differential duty of 4d. a gallon on colonial, end of a larger duty on fo reign spirits.- This, however, was a subject on which he did not wish to enter, as he knew the principle was, that taking the duties on the home spirits in bond would lead to considerable frauds 011 the revenue. That was the objection made by Mr. Wood on the part of the revenue ; but it was an objection the validity of which was denied by the distillers. It was not proposed to prevent the duty being charged, as it was at present, at the worm's end, and then being put into the stores, and if any deficiency occurred when it was in transit from the distillery to the Queen's stems the dis tillers were ready to, pay for that difference. That they were willing to do; but what they objected to do was to pay duty on a loss that actually occurred whilst the ar ticle was in the Queen's stores—to pay for that which was lost either through leakage or evaporation.—(Hear, hear.) He supposed the Right Hon. Gentleinan would say that this would cause a great loss to the revenue. What Mr. Wood calculated would be the loss was a half penny a gallon. Now he was assured by all those he had consulted on the subject that so far from being a loss this would be felt' so great an advantage to the distillers that it would lead to a great increase of produetion, and that the revenue would be ultimately the gainer.— (Hear.) In considering this subject it was to be re marked that the Irish distilled from malt and raw grain, aid the Scotch from malt only, and thus the article they produced gained maturity much sooner than the Irish. The Irish spirits did not arrive at maturity before it hal been manufactured four or five years. The law as it now stood was a prohibition on the Irish distiller, to keep an article in the stores until it reached maturity, and, it tended also to produce a monopoly in the spirit trade, and the fact was that all the small distilleries in Ireland had been closed, as none now but a man with very large capital could carry on the trade. 'rh• whole of the spirit trade of Ireland and Scotland was interested in this question, and as that House had removed restrictions from foreigners, as they %ere such friends to tree trade as to assist the foreigner in every way they-could, he now hop-' . d they would aid him by supporting his motion, in removing restrictions from a most important branch of their home trade.—(Cheers.) Lord J. STUAR r seconded Vie motion. •He did so at the desire . of his constituents, who were greatly iota• rested in the success of this motion, and whose wishes, as large contributors to the revenue, were entitled to the Attention of the Government. He admitted that the Scotch distillers did not suffer as much disadvantage from the present regulations as the Irish distillers, and he acknowledged that some years ago the Coancellor of the ExChequer had made a - considerable concession to the trade iu Scotland, and that it was now in a very flsurishing state. Although he wished to vote with the Governm,nt on most occasions, he felt bound to Oppose them on - the motion then before the House. Mr. WlLSON:opposed the motion. The pie' stion, he said, was net one of free trade at all. The spelech of the Noble Lord showed that he had paid a Great le st of attention to this subject, and therefore the Noble Lord must be perfectly coascious that the House, after ma ture consideration of this subject, had come to an ar rangement regarding it in 1848, by which they lasdea vuured to place all parties on terms of perfect equality with each other. The Noble Lord had called attention to the tact that the duty was only charged on the colo nial and foreign spirits when taken out of bond, and upon homt.-made spirits when manufactured in the distill . riei; but why was that distinction made? Because there vas a differential duty in favour of the horns disiller— because the colonial spirits paid 4d. a' gallon, and the duty on foreign spirit, on brandy was 15s a gallon, double that paid on the home spirits—so great a difference, in fact, that the case of the foreign spirits might be put out of their consideration.---(Cries of " No, no.") He said that the foieign spirits were not to be considsred, when 2s. Bd. was charged on Irish spirits, end 15s. a gallon charged on foreign spirits. The whole case, he said, then lay between colonial and home - made spirits; and alter determining that colonial spirits should pry 41.. a gallon more than home-made spirits it would be said it was unfair to the West Indies to have that arrangement disturbed. The duty on the home-madespirits must be increased; Lind that on our colonial spirits be diminished to bring them both into the same pssition, and to do equal justice between the two parties. It was, he said, a great boon to the home distillers to allow -them to bond their spirits the moment it was manufactured, be cause it was giving them a long credit on that dety. If the motion were carried, the arrangements notv made must be disturbed, and that to the injury of ;the re venue—(Hear, hear.) • Mr. HUME rose to speak, but was met with such loud cries of "Divide," that he was compelled to desist. The gallery was ordered to .be cleared amid loud .cheers from the. Opposition,Members, as it was manifest those in favour of the motion were in a majority. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose amid loud cries of Divide." He said he could quite well understand the impatience of Honourable Mem bers to divide without a debate.—(Cheers from Members on the. Opposition benches.) That.- was not, trowe'ver, the way of Settling a point of such importance as this.— (Cries of " Hear, hear," and " Divide.") Although it did not appear directly, yet. this was a motion like too many others that had preceded it; namely, a motion to reduce the revenue, and' which the House had rejected. In England, the duty on spirits was 7s. 10d.; in Scotland, 3s.'Bd.; and in• Ireland, 2s. Bd.; and this was a:proposi tion to make an alteration for the benefit of a country in which the duty paid was the lowest. Why, if a reduc tion were possible, the fair way would be to eqUalise the duty in the three countries, to lower it in Englend, and to raise it in Ireland and Scotland.—(Cries of "Oh, oh.") As to the small distilleries being destroyed in Irelane, that did not happen in consequence of the manner in which the duties were collected; it was the general law of the progress of trade; the small manufacturers there were destroyed by the large manufacturers. The excise and customs duties were levied on quite different prin eiplea.—(Hear, hear.) The whole question was dis cussed at great length in 1848, when the subject of the duty on colonial spirits was before the House, and the objection taken the arrangement then effected was, not that the benefit given to the colonial producer was too much, but on the contrary that the duty levied upon colonial produce was too high. The Hon. Gentleman seemed to think that great injury had been inflicted upon o the Irish and Scotch distillers as compared with. colonial producer, by 1 Ireland the eonsumpeioa of rum being in creassd. What was the fact? Formerly, m per annum, con sumed as.much as a million gallons of fallen down to but . before 1846.. the. consuar 14,000 gallons; and in 1849 it - w t a )32 s not so high in Snot- N e d and / s w am i as se 1847.

Taylor and • • Bright's Circular states :—The weather during the past - week has been beautiful, hot, and forcing, with occasional refreshing showers and strong night dews: more rain would be-acceptable for Spring corn, but from all quarters of the country we receive most satisfactory reports of the growing crops, whiCh, with a continuance of fa vourable weather, give promise of an abundant harvest, though not an early one. Under such circumstances, advance in price is not to be looked for, and that markets should remain so firm, is a proof of stamina in the trade, not to be overlooked. But for the influx and determined. veiling of French sour to the London baker, which keeps •down Mark-lane, we little doubt that the smallness of the general import, and large consumption in the manufacturing districts, would, in spite of the weather; give us a - higher range of price. At this day's market our own tanners brought forward it scanty supply, and our millers had to pay the full prices of last week, and in some cases is more money.. A better show of foreign wheat, and having more in inquiries by distant buyers,' the market must be written fully as dear for all fresh qualities, which, it must be observed, form a very small portion 'of the supply.

The following case occupied an hour and a half of the time of the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton.

This time two years he attempted to seize me and drag me from my carriage on my return from Epsom races, and he declared that my carriage and horses were his, and the house also. Mr. BROUGHTIIN—Has he ever said anything to you personally about marriage? Miss Bellew —No. Atter 'some further proceedings the defendant was asked what he had to say in answer to the charge. Defendant-4 hope your Worship will send the case to the sessions, when I shall be prepared with counsel and witnesses. Mr. BROUGHTON...4 shall not .adopt that course. Defendant—Very well, Sir; then I'll go on. Miss Bil let, made a positive engagement with me to become my wife, and assured me that nothing else- could ever make ber happy, and she has told me that she purchased the house she is living hi for ourselves.

RAILWAYS IN INDIA. m ade pot 6 ' Viscount JOOELYN. brought forward the 01°- ; s -- pot which he had given notice, to m o v e for any PeP e l - , - fi erld already laid 'before Parliament, referring tt th e 14";,ser question of railway communication in India, tot b oo with copies of ; any correspondence which tega t he taken place between the home authorities ° pa il , Madras Government in reference to the pro Pe te r ota way between Madras and Arcot. In bringing 'T r i t to the motion ne was not actuated by any hostile i P'y e elt the Governmnt. It was a question of the L s eet importance to e India, and he considered that tn e lbriag was neither an unwise nor improper time re late' it forward when the attention of the manufaetarl i t o p rests of this country was directed to the consid 66 ,l o re' the slave-grown cotton of America w hich Inig"'w e cte. placed by the free labour produce of British 0 04 00 es India had not kept pace with the prosperity sod 1'7, t 70110 of the other portions of the empire. On the e ° 7ro yetl her shawl and cotton manufactures had beendap by the frequent unjust and necessary wars eat r e; n eol there, by the effect of the land tut, and by the * r o d the means of internal communication. A Con3o`;3,sia the House was appointed to investigate the 5u1 t „,4 1 .1. 1847, and theY reported that the question of in" d ' og of communication deman]ei the immediate At te _ A ". - Ot Government. that even where roads existe",eaeet were gre at obstacles in consequence of the Abe bridges. Colonel Sims, who had been engsr?:.. -- iiiil service of the East India Company upwards, or- . ;,; re' years in opening up lines of communication ih,ti e el' sidency of Bombay, gave, as the testimony ei,rielf,° perience, that wherever new roads were opeel e lse s ti _tl.l rapidly increased. The object that he (Viscount al i selo, had in view was, to give the Right Hon. Gentie t latfig Secretary Of the Board of Control an opportat; stating his views with regard to the general (thee l oot' railway communication in Ladia; also with reseects bee° railways to which the guarantee of GovernuieritLa fee° granted,_ and_ what were the expectations they n. di'' those railway lines. In 1845 Mr. Sims, who Zosist patched to India to inquire into the alleged - d ji e e - co' v to railway construction in th e t ro pi cs , re ported, beta junction with certain commissioners who had alt ; ss 0 0 appointed to inquire into the matter, that there ;pod; physical difficulties to obstruct their formation• eti es' minted the propriety of the inquiry which had e " - erhi s j on foot as to whether railways were suited to Vi e mote' of the people, and that the formation of an ege e rl '';iottb' line from Calcutta towards the frontiers on te, e ," - b th ° west was an eligible plan. The next line for r l- 1": froln Government had 'given a guarantee was the lir e pile' Bombay to Gillian. That line, which would 11' 1 .4 10; in length, would certainly pass through one or °' tricts the best adapted in all India for the grt tor cotton. But it would run parallel with an Well s es' tern of water communication, an d i t co uld act g ood' peeled that it would obtain a great traffic either h rj or in passengers. Colonel Grant, of the 1: 30° ,7i . O r s ; gineers, had given it as his opinion that it woul d i",:t an untavourable field for testing the probability eared succ.-ss or railway undertskings in India. It °Pr Otig h li to him (Vise .unt Jocelyn) that their gra at obje c i ,' l eo% to be to find out for that experiment a line wh ic t",ders b ei '" connect two great towns between which a eott a id traffic already existed, and such a traffic as w:„ - s tre", Hies ly to be diverted to some railway of easy 7, - 0 10 ° S lion; and he believed that a line could be PT: l i which united these advantages. In the year lee; s ere ' had been proposed which would run from M ecir6- "eoat lec‘ the south-western portion of India, and would sees OP its eastern and western coasts, while it would some of the finest cotton-growing districts. ''',l,oo; country. That line would run from Madras t ° ,eses d i through a district in which a considerable traffic r ice ° r existed; and from Arcot it would pass over * go t 72 wiles to the important town of Wallajanuggeht: %ea, Majesty's Government bad, however, refused t i r o, 7 e any guarantee in that case fir three reasons: r ,. o psilli Muse the scheme hod been abandoned by the f m ' s see i , who hail projected it; secondly, because the ea t '7,,erir' the cost' of, :its construction had exc eedine. n 0 1 ; '7 and thirdly, 'because the line hid not e SO' e re veyed by their • own engin e er, o' et,.
