In the Commons the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER announced, in reply to a question from Lord JOCELYN, that no .tees had been taken to dstablish a steam com munication between the Cape and Sidney. The Coalwhippers (Port of London) Bill and the Steam Navigation Bill were read a third time and passed. The Patent Law Amendment Bill was, after a short discussion, committed pro forma, for the purpose of in troducing certain amendments. Th e House then went into Committee successively on the Church Building Acts' Amendment Bill, the Petty Sessions (Ireland) Bill, and the New Zealand Settle ments Bill, which occupied the remainder of the sitting. Actuated by a fear that the speedy prorogation of Parliament may interrupt the progress of the Patent Law Amendment Bill, Ministers are hurrying on that measure to its completion. Yesterday the Bill was passed through Committee pro forma in the House of Commons, so that another step has brought the advocates of the desired improvement nearer to the realization of their wishes, and has brought us nearer to the time which shall witness the recogni tion of the rights of inventors by the Legislature. After the solicitude which has been so long felt in reference to this subject by a very large section of the community, the satisfaction experienced at these proceedings must necessarily be of proportionate mag nitude. Hitherto the Government has apparently been blind to the injury inflicted by its apathy upon a numer ous and intelligent body of men, as well as upon the cause of science generally, a cause which has come latterly to be regarded as identical with that of civilization. At length the indifference evinced in the matter by our administrators has given place to a laudable evi dence of solicitude on their part, such as cannot fail to act beneficially as an incitement to the more energetic interposition of the Legislature. Already the endea vours made by the Government to effect some im provement in the matter here specified has proved effectual in instigating inquiries into the evils complained of, so that we have ultimately had the satisfaction of witnessing, among our representatives in the House of Commons, a singular and almost unexampled unanimity in re gard to these suggested innovations. Insomuch has this unanimity of feeling upon the subject been manifested in the House of Commons that not a single dissentient voice has been yet heard in refe rence to it—those who at all quarrel with the measure now before Parliament doing so simply on the ground pthat the changes suggested are not by any means 1 sufficiently sweeping in their character. As to the general provisions of the Bill, we ourselves have all along maintained it to be deserving of support from every person indiscriminately, that support being more over, under the circumstances, altogether unconditional. Our reasoning upon the matter is simple enough of its kind, and the force of it may be very readily re cognised and appreciated. We rejoice so entirely at the fact of any improvement at all being adventured upon by the Government upon a question which seemed until now little less than desperately situated, that we are anxious to see no impediment whatever placed in the way of its realization. Let us obtain what improvement we can without carping at its inade quacy, rather than throw back the subject to some inde finite period, and thereby deprive living inventors of an inestimable advantage, simply in the hope of yet more largely benefiting their succes‘ors. Any innovation at all in the Patent Laws is better than none, no matter how insignificant may be its appearance; and, having secured the smallest step en avant, we may then rest satisfied that the matter at issue may progress yet more to the general satisfaction. Remember the number and the magnitude o f the evils complained of in the Patent Laws a s they are at the present moment, and contrast those laws with the proposed amendments, and there cannot exist for an instant on the mind of the sinister observer a doubt but that the country must, perforce, benefit, and that very largely, from the proposed improvement. Remember, for ex ample, that an inventor, according to the existing system, finds it necessary to exhaust a great deal of time, as well as of money, in obtaining what the Bill now before Parliament will place within his reach at once, and at the cost of a very moderate expenditure. Remember that the old system requires three, and the new will require only one single patent, for the United Kingdom. Remember that the old system necessitated the application of the inventor to seven different offices, in order to secure what he will hence forth, with the aid of the Act referred to, be enabled to procure at one, and this one unguarded by deputy chaff. waxes, or any other cormorants of bribery in the shape of subordinate recipients of fees of no earthly utility whatever. Remember that, whereas, with the Patent Laws unamended, it is, necessary for the applicants to purchase their protection by an out lay, in most instances, of 3001. for the United King dom, that enormous sum, moreover, being ex torted at once, and, therefore, of course long before the invention desired to be protected from piracy could be brought into operation, whereas, with the Patent Laws amended, he will only have to disburse a few pounds at the outset, paying, after the lapse of three years, 501., and after the lapse of seven 1001. additional. It may possibly be objected to this by a few dissentients that 1701. or 1801. for a patent is still very exorbitant, but it should be remembered by those that the amount here specified will only have to be paid in instalments, so proportioned as to press least heavily on the inventor, affording, while so doing, every reasonable op portunity of bringing his contrivance into such general use, that the payment of the moneys required for the letter patent shall be to him a matter scarcely worthy of conside ration. It should likewise be borne in recollection that, for this 1701. or 1801., will be obtained protec tion not only in England, but, in addition to this, in Scotland and in Ireland. Whatever, therefore, may be the objections made to the changes, as sketched out in the measure introduced into the House of Commons by her MAJESTY'S Government, it must be confessed that, inadequate though those chan ges may be in some particulars, they are as suredly preferable to no changes at all—reducing the time required in the process of securing the patent yet more remarkably than they do the expense, and that expense, be it not forgotten, is reduced to little more than half the sum originally extorted from inventors. Later on reformers may apply their energies to the removal of the evils yet allowed to remain in the laws relating to patents; but let them not, out of a mistaken anxiety to obtain all the advantages desired at once, prevent any benefit whatever being secured to the cultivators of science, and, through them, to the general community. Some months since it was our pleasing duty to direct the public cttention to the laudable efforts that had been m a de, ucder the auspices of the E as t ern Counties Rail w ay Company, to afford additi onal faciliti es f or commun i c ation with the north o f Europe by means of the recently completed harbour at Lowestoft. We are rejoiced to find that this praiseworthy intention is not to be suffered to remain in abeyance, but that immediate steps will be taken to carry it into execution, so that Lowest o ft may become—what its geogra phical position indicates it should be—the point of departure for Northern Europe. This " consummation so devoutly t o b e w i shed for " will be alike benefici al to the inhabitants of the district) and to the shareholders in the Eastern Counties and Norfolk Railway Companies, who will receive a large increase of profits from the additional traffic thus brought upon their lines. There is, in fact, a vast field opened, which cannot fail to be largely produc tive to the parties concerned. The Danish cattle trade is already flourishing beyond the most sanguine expectations of its promoters, and it must necessarily continue to do so, for it is based on the soundest and most judicious principles. All it wanted to insure success was the attainment of railway facilities on fair and reasonable terms. The enlightened liberality of the boards of the companies concerned have ensured it these facilities on the English soil, and we find that measures have already been taken to con struct railways on the other side of the North Sea, from Copenhagen to Christiana, as well as from the former to those ports on the Danish shores which are now trading directly with Lowestoft. These projects, when fully accomplished, must not only greatly enhance the prosperity of this well-devised speculation, but afford a vast stimulus to the passenger traffic be tween England and the northern nations—Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, and the north of Ger many. It is sufficient on this point to state that St. Petersburgh, and of course all the intermediate dis tricts, will be brought three days closer to London than they have hitherto been, a matter of such vital importance that it only requires to be mentioned to be duly appreciated. The occasion on which these facts were enunciated was one of no ordinary interest. The directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company had deter mined in honour of Lowestoft to pay a visit on Tues day to its regatta, which was then taking place. It was wisely decided that the special train should be one of the ordinary character, not such as could only be obtainable by directors or extraordinary influence. A mixed train was accordingly started, in which Mr. D. WADDINGTON, M.P., the chairman, and other di rectors of the company, accompanied by Mr. Goocu, the intelligent and active superintendent of the loco motive department, and Mr. G. RICHARDSON, the excellent coaching superintendent, took their places at seven o'clock, A.m. At half-past ten the party bad arrived at Lowestoft, having accomplished with per fect ease the distance, 150 miles, in 3f hours. The speed would have been greater, but consider able time was necessarily lost through the impediments occasioned by excursion and other cheap trains, which were proceeding to the regatta, and affording the less wealthy classes the coveted oppor tunity of inhaling the pure breezes of the North Sea, and examining the attractions of one of the most beautiful and fascinating watering places, not only in the east of England, but on the British coast, a district which stands pre-eminent, not only for its sin gular natural advantages, but which may be regarded as a monument of what may be accomplished in a brief period by a union of good taste, judicious enterprise, and large pecuniary means. In the evening a magnificent entertainment wa s provided at the Royal Hotel, under the presidency of SAMUEL MORTON PETO, Esq., the enchanter through whose magical power the locality, in which he became the chief landowner some seven or eight years since, has already been so marvellously amelio rated. It is needless to say that everything was served in the most elegant manner that could be de sired by the most fastidious taste. Those who have sojourned for a few days at the Royal Hotel may easily conceive what its spirited proprietor, Mr. HOWETT, would accomplish on such an occasion. The most interesting part of the proceedings was, however, the speech of Mr. PETO, who, in returning thanks for the cordiality and enthusiasm with which his health had been toasted by the assembled com pany, detailed the nature of the undertaking in which he had entered for the purpose of further de veloping the natural capabilities of the district. The Honourable Gentleman stated that "on Satur day next he would be on his way to Norway, to arrange for the construction of the first line of railway in that country, forming a connecting link with the capital of Denmark." The connexion of SAMUEL MORTON PETO with such a project would alone afford a sufficient guarantee for its ultimate success ; but he also announced a fact that afforded additional confirmation on this point, viz., that the Commissioners had already deposited a quarter of a million sterling in the National Bank as an assurance that no risk should be run, the strongest evidence, as Mr. PET() justly remarked, of Norwe gian "earnestness and honesty." Under such circum stances it is not too much to hope that, ere another year has passed away, the railway from Copenhagen to Christiana and the Danish ports connected with Lowestoft, may be in course of construction, and that as the Hon. Gentleman justly remarked, " what had been lately done in the way of economising time and distance, was hardly more remarkable than what might be anticipated in the same direction." In the course of his speech, Mr. PETO gracefully disclaimed the unqualified disinterestedness ascribed to him. He was improving his own property while adding to the general prosperity of the district. His interests were identified with those of his tenants and neighbours. While promoting their welfare,, he necessarily added to his own wealth and resources. It may be so, but this does not the less entitle him to the thanks and gratitude of the inhabi tants of the locality. Merely Quixotic attempts will seldom produce much fruit. Public spirit must be joined with sober and prudential calculations, that the party concerned might not diminish his means of future utility, or lead the friends with whom he may be concerned into serious losses. Mr. PETO combines the proper degree of public spirit and private pru dence to enable him to assume a prominent position among the national benefactors ; and that his mo tives are not altogether selfish, his liberal contribu tions to every laudable undertaking, to every meri torious charity, public or private, will afford the most convincing testimony.

ETON COLLEGE.—The election for boys on the foundation terminated on Tuesday evening, when the following 20 boys—Graham, Gibson, Chute, Churton, Isacke, Sperling, Mozley, Baker, Carter, Whitting, Stone, Borrett, Dawson, G. F., Boys Nesfield, Armstrong, Clarke, Gepp, Tarver, Haw trey were elected out of the 53 candidates. Of the above, five were from Eton, ten from one private school, and the remaining five from various other schools. ROYAL BANK OF AUSTRALIA.--Yesterday, before the Master in Chancery Richards, a meeting was held to consider a compromise with the executors of Mr. J. P. Robinson, deceased. Mr. H Harris, solicitor for the official manager, stated that an order had been made on the executors for payment of 2,5001. balance of calls due; but the affidavits of the executors showed that after paying certain debts and liabilities of the testator, there was a very small balance in hand, and that they had also instituted a suit to administer the testator's estate. Under these circumstances the official manager consented to take 3501. in discharge of the Master's order, but reserving all subsequent rights as to future calls to be made under the estate. The Master confirmed the compromise. THE ROBBERIES ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—Since the conviction of Pamplin, the gold dust robber, at the Winchester Assizes, information has been de rived which is likely to secure the apprehension of the whole of the extensive gang of expert robbers who have carried on their operations on the South-Western Railway. A large number of individuals, supposed to be connected with the gang, have been under the surveillance of the police for some time past. There is reason to believe that the gang would have been apprehended before, had not the South-Western Railway Company and the police laboured under an impres sion that the robberies were not effected on the railway. Th e railway company have only been charged the cost price, 1201., of the bale of French merinoes, which was stolen some months since, and which amount has been paid. Some of the stolen goods were heavy, and must have required cart age. The railway company are building carriages specially for the conveyance of the treasure landed at Southampton by the West India and Brazilian steamers. Uutil they are ready for use, the West India Company have required some of their higher class officials and officers of the packets to accompany the treasure to London. These gentlemen place themselves in the treasure waggons on their passage from Southamptom to London, and neve r l ose s i g ht o f th e go ld and silver until it is safely lodged in the Bank of England. DANGEROUS ILLNESS OF R. BLAItEMORE. ESQ., M.P.—lt is with very sincere regret we hear that Richard Blakemore, Esq., has been lying in an extremely precarious state of health at his residence, the Leys, near Monmouth. Hereford Journal.

Merryweather Turner has announced his intention of offering himself as a candidate. lle professes Ministerial principles. COST OF THE BIBLE IN CHlNA.—Owing tO the extremely low cost of materials and labour in China, a Bible in the Chinese language, it is said, can be sold for about six cents. TAE WATER CommiTTEE.--Yesterday the inquiries of the Committee were directed into the chemistry of the water supply of the different companies, and Messrs. Taylor, Aikin, and Cooper were examined on their chemical am mulcular and microscopic peculiarities. The Arctic, Captain Luce, sailed from Liverpool yesterday direct for New York. She is one of Collin's line, but did not tike the mails, having left the port as a private chip. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes the resolution adopted for the prorogation of the Assembly from the 10th August to the 4th November. The Moniteur also publishes the following commu nicated paragraph:— " The Siecle of this day contains a new calumny against the President of the Republic. It insinw , tes that the President is much embarrassed, as he had to pay some debts contracted at the Bourse, and which were not his own. If justice be powerless to punish such at tacks, it is importsnt to give to them the most formal contradiction. The President has paid nothing at the Bourse for any person, and has nothing to pay for himself." The Siecle containing the article alluded to in the Monileur was seized, and is to be prosecuted. The Siecle of yesterday comments on the seizure and con tradiction as follows Thus, on the one hand, it is admitted that justice is powerful enough to punish our attacks since we have been seized; and on the other, the Government, in one of its journals, declares that such attacks are of so inoffen sive a nature that justice is powerless to punish them We shalt see what the jury will think of it, and since it is before it that we shall be interrogated, it is there that we shall reply. We have not the right to republish the incriminated article, but we msy be allowed to observe that it is at least unwise to thus make the President of the Republie the hero of an anecdote, in which his name was not even mentioned; we may be allowed also to say that wo spoke of the mad party of the Elytbs, and cer tainly that expression is moderate when it is borne in mind that it is this same mad party whose passions were designated as detestable by M. Odilon Barrot, and that M. Jules de Lasteyrie and the Prefect of Police himself, in speaking of external adherents, used a still stronger expression. It will be seen that our expression was much softened down. It is those detestable passions, it is this mad party which the Ministry, and doubtless more par ticularly M. Leon Faucher, takes under its special pro tection; it is these detestable passions which, according to the communicated note, may be attacked without meriting the rigours of justice." The Assembly has appointed Thursday (this day) for the nomination of the Committee of Permanence, who are to sit during the recess, and for the renewal of its Bureau. We find the folkii,;;ng in the Patric : M. Emile de Gil 'in has had the talent to wear the public out with his po!itical transformations. He can no longer surprise any one, and nevertheless there has reached us from Loudon a piece of news, the correctness of which we can guarantee, and which will astonish even those who have ceased to be surprised at any thing. M. Ledru wrote a letter to one of his friends, dated London, Saturday evening, which reached Paris ( n Sunday evening, in which, in his Lacedemonian la conic style, ho says, It is now four o'clock in the after noon; Emile de Girardin has just left my house; he came here at eleven this morning. We are agreed on all points.' M. Emilie de Girardin has discovered the secret of surpassing himself in political vaulting." We extract the following, on the subject of the Presidential election, from the Independance of Brussels : " The rumour has been spread that M. Guint now inclines to the cause of the President of the Republic, and that he is, in turn, to receive the support of the Government as a candidate for the representation of the department of the Seine, in the room of General Mig non. But need I add that I believe that M. Guizot has too much sagacity to suppose fora moment that he can have any chance at Paris, the town of opposition par excellence, and which always voted against his Ministry? Tne report of M. Guizut's leaning to the President is said to have been confirmed by an ex •Minister of Public Instruction under Louis Philippe. Everything causes me to believe that the Legitimatists at the last moment (in spite of the visit to Claremont) will prefer M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, as an unconstitutional candidate, to the Prince de Joinville. It M. Guizot be faithful to his new penchant he will follow them; but M. de Sal vandy and other portions of the fusion will, it is said, return to Orleanism." By two decrees of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, the National Guard and the Municipal Council of the Commune of La Souterraine (Creu3e), have been dissolved. _ The Municipal Council of Carbonne (Haute Ga ronne) has been dissolved by a decree of the PRESI DENT of the Republic. We read in a supplement to the Journal de Lille of the 29th :—" The following is the result already known of 250 sections of the department of the Nord —Electors inscribed, 104,078. M. VAISSE has ob tained 35,145; M. DELAROYERE, 9,221 ; lost votes, 5,032. The number of votes necessary to render the election valid is 36,250. There are still 101 sections of which the results are not known. The election of AL VAISSE is secured." The Court of Premiire Instance has issued an or donnance, in which it is delared that, after a minute examination of the charges of corruption brought by M. CARLIER against M. LEMULIER, representative of the people (in the document published by M. Fon cA.DE), it finds that no sufficient grounds have been established for a prosecution against M. LigssuLuitt. There was a fall in the price of Government Securities at the Bourse, which was attributed more to the state of the monthly account than to any political cause.

LONDON, tI THURSDAI EVENING, JULY 31 1 lB5l SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived. On the previous day the Ministers and all the prin cipal persons of Madrid went by the railway to Aran juez, in order to otter their congratulations to the QUEEN DOWAGER on the occasion of her birthday. A grand dinner was given at the palace. The Minister of Justice has left Madrid for Seville, in order to be present at the approaching accouchement of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER. The Bolsa was closed on the 25th. GERMAN Y. Some of the Prussian journals state that the elec tions for the provincial Diets are about to take place in Prussia, according to the electoral law of 1823, which excludes Jews from the representation, and declares that an election is valid, if only one elector shall vote. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date of Vienna, 23d, says :—" There are so many erro neous reports in circulatio n re l at i ve to t h e new l oan , that we think it right to make known the real:state of the affair. The EMPEROR has approved of the negotia tion of a loan, but he has left it to the Minister of Finance to fix the necessary sum, and the means by which the operation is to take place with the greatest advantage to the State. Th e p r i nc i pa l o bj ec t o f the loan is the paying of the paper-money, the issue of which had been compelled by the events of 1848." _ The Trzeste Gazette announces that the new Austrian loan will be negotiated at 96 for payments in paper, and at 80 for those in cash. It was thought that the agio on cash would be fixed at 20 per cent. The Constitutional Gazette of Bohemia publishes a letter from Constantinople, stating that the Turkish Government, at the instigation of France and Eng land, manifests a great inclination to set KOSSUTH and the other Hungarians who are in Turkey at liberty, but that the Austrian Ambassador at Constan tinople has received instructions to remonstrate in the strongest manner against the proposed measure, and to demand his passports if the remonstrance should not be attended to. The Kolner Zeitung has letters from Cassel of the 26th inst. They announce the dissolution of the Federal and Permanent Court-martial, which had been established to try and punish the political offenders in Hesse. The prisoners and documents of this court have been handed over to the Hessian court-martial. The Federal Commissioners will, however, remain. The battalion of Austrian Rifles, which has hitherto been quartered upon Cassel, has received orders to return to Eger, and the Bavarian troops, too, are preparing to return to their own country. The Bavarians are to march on the Ist, and the Austrians on the 4th of nest month. Several arrests have lately taken place. A MONSTER TELESCOPE IN HYDE PARK.—Yester day considerable excitement prevailed among the inhabitants residing in the neighbourhood of Cumberland-gate. Oxford street, in consequence of the arrival in Hyde Park of a monster telescope, but which, from its immense length, was supposed to be an extraordinary iron pipe for the Great Exhibition. Upon inquiries, however, being made, it was ascertained that a telescope, from a design the result of ex periment and investigations made by the Rev. John Craig, Vicar of Leamington, Hants, had them brought to the Park, the permission of Lord Seymour, First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, having been granted, for the purpose of allowing the reverend astronomer an opportunity to ad just the instrument, previously to its being permanently fixed in a situation. A temporary structure will be raised to afford the means of making observations. The barrel of the telescope is about eo feet in length, and is composed of a sheet of wrought iron. The diameter, in the centre, is about 4 feet, at the upper extremity about 2 feet 8 inches, at the lower extremity about 12 inches. Tue GOVERNOR OF NEWFOUNDLAND.—His Excel • lency Sir Gaspard Lo Merchant, Lady Le Merchant, and suite, arrived yesterday at Queenstown, per brig Bryn y Moir, 16 days from St. John, Newfoundland. His Excellency pro ceeded, per Sabrina, to-day, for Bri s tol, en rou t e to London. We understand Sir Gaspard's term of government has ex pired, and it gives us pleasure to learn that his Excellency's administration has given much satisfaction in the colony. Previous to assuming the government of Newfoundland, Sir Gaspard held an important staff appointment in this city.— Cork Reporter.

(We cannot be answerg will not be influenced by ible for tt intoreste, MONE Y and COMMERci A L N"Ews, CITY, TWth O'CLOCK The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for *xport, and 1,200 on speculation. The market was not so w.... 11 supplied, and prices were without alteration.—Railway Shares were in good demand, at higher prices. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 425. 6d. per quarter, and the last week's 426. sd. The quantity of Wheat sold is 64,035 qrs. The further accounts from Vienna bear out the ru mours of the 60,000,000 florins' loan being taken. There does not appear to be any intention of openly taking subscriptions here, but firms at Vienna have by private letter invited parties here to participate. The contract price is 93, it is said, but iu sterling about 811. is the nearest value. The instalments are to be spread over twelve months, and the ex change has to be taken into consideration. We apprehend that no prudent individuals of small means will invest, or buy even on speculation, in such an unsafe stock. The price is to be 41. more if the interest be paid in specie; and, with our views on the matter, and seeing the fluctuations in the exchange, we should be extremely loath to pay 501. per cent. for Austrian Bonds. Let any one follow carefully the advices from Italy, and ask himself then what guarantee there can be for future peace in a country so ruled, or among a people so exasperated. Moreover, upon a former occa asion, Austria has promised to pay the interest in Lon don, and afterwards made it receivable only abroad, to the loss of the subscribers. This time, we perceive, the dividends are payable in Paris, Frankfort, and Vienna. The observations which on several occasions, re cently, we felt it our imperative duty to make concerning railway property have had a good effect, and circumstances daily occurring serve to illustrate their force. We never sought to bolster up prices or to stimulate a rise in good and bad shares alike, but we did feel most intensely the evil of excessive Bearing by people w h o h a d no sta k e, an d w h o cared not how much the real holder suffered. Strange to say too, although shares have generally rallied on the account day, and toe rate of interest for carrying them over, that is for not insisting at once on their delivery where purchased, has ruled lower every I Itnight, the speculators for a fall have by their boldness intimidated a few parties to make a sacrifice, and thus kept up their game. Tnis day they suffer more severely than before. Shares are exceedingly scarce in the market, and very favourable offers are made for the loan of them. The Midland have risen about 21. since yesterday, making 5/. withing six or seven days. Such is the result of Bearing. At the same time we would not prognosticate that it is at an end. The half•yearly meetings of some of the lines will not be particularly good, and will be better in promise than in present results. This will encourage the gamblers, perhaps, and parties who look very justly for 5 or 6 per cent, per annum from railways, and no one should buy to pay him less, if we except one or two lines that are equal in security to Consols, will be inclined to sell. The ques tion we should like to have solved is whether money may not become so abundant as to render it difficult to get even 3 per cent. in other securities, and whether, in that case, railways to pay 4 per cent. would not be sufficiently tempting. Foreign loans are ridiculous in competition with shares. The English Funds are very steady, but not buoyant. Consols 96i for Transfer, and 96i for Account. Bank Stock is 215 k to 2161.

In reply to Mr. OSBORNE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the following was the exact state of the •case with regard to the Crystal PulAce. By the engagement en tersa into the Commissioners were bound to Purf chase the building, if they did not before tb,e. Ist of December give notice t o th e con t ra ctors pull it down, and the sum which they would be requi.real4 to pay if they desired to retain the building in per manence was 70,0001. But whether the Coruailv' sioners were at liberty, under the specific terms of the memorandum, to apply any portion of the surplus funds, which he believed would be Veil large, to such purposes as a winter garden in the metro' polls, he conceived would be very doubtful.—(ifesr .) Whether, if they had the power, that was their determination it was of course not for hill to say. However, whether they had or ba' not the power, if they were not inclined to make the building a present to the public, the public could not obtain possession of it without paying 70,000/.—( ll ca r ' hear.) That would be the first cost, but then there would be a considerable additional expense in order to render the building fit for a permanent erection, and again a large annual outlay for maintaining it in a state of repair. Then there must be a certain outlay for the purpose of constructing a winter garden, and after wards for maintaining it. These different items must ill one shape or another fall on the public.—(Hear.) Mr. WAKLEY said it had been stated the other night very distinctly that no application would be made to the Government for a single shilling in respect to the Crystal Palace. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob served that what was stated the other evening was alit the contractors wore perfectly willing to extend tb time for receiving notice for pulling down the building from the Ist of December to the Ist of May. The subject then dropped. METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Sir B. HALL protested against the Bill, on the g round that the board would be composed of too numerous and expensive a body of officials. He hoped that nex t year the Government would introduce a Bill to infuse the representative principle into the management of t he Commission. Mr. WAKLEY was against a barrister being BP" pointed to preside at the head of the Commission. 110 thought some eminent engineer would be more fitted for the post. After a few words from Mr. B. OSBORNE and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Bill was read A third time and passed. METROPOLITAN INTERMENT BILL. On clause 1 being proposed for granting 130,0001 to the Board of Health for purchasing existing cemeteries. Mr. B. OSBORNE opposed granting that sum to a commission, which ho looked upon as one of the greatest nuisances in the country. If the clause ;‘"° acceded to, he believed that the country would be involved by next year in an expens e amounting to half a million of money. Mr. Chadwick , who was at the head of the Commission, grasped st everything within his reach, and like Mr. Barry, the architect, made all connected with him subservient to his own views and purposes. Mr. WAKLEY said the Hon. Member should real .. led that a medical gentleman was a member of the board, and that medical men were always zealous and attentive in the discharge of public duties.—(A l a ugh.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re minded the Hon. Member that when cemeteries an d burial-grounds were closed, it was absolutely necessary that others should be provided, and in order to purchai° them money was required. This was merely a tempo' rary advance, and would not be repeated. Mr. J. BELL objected to giving so large an advanc e to the Board of Health. It was a mere speculative joint stock company, in whose hands large sums of mope)" were to be placed without any check or control whatever. Mr. B. OSBORNE thought the whole Bill looked very much like a job; and if he had any chance of getting a respectable number of Members to vote he should divide against the clause. After some further discussion the clause was agreed to. The other clauses and the preamble were also passed. On the motion for reporting the Bill, Mr. BELL intimated that next session he should bring the whole question of metropolitan interments under their consideration. _ _ Mr. W. WILLIAMS hoped the public would under stand that those who opposed this Bill wore not averse to the closing of the burial-grounds of the metropolis , but what they objected to was the purchase of ceme teries with public money, in the manner proposed bi the Bill. Sir B. HALL thought it necessary to protest against the Bill once more, and in order to do so without se,' further delay., he should divide the Committee on the motion for rejecting the Bill. The Comniittee then divided, when there appeared--' For the motion ••• ••• ••• 42 Against it .., ... ... ... 7 Majority ..• ••• ••• ... —35 The House then resumed, and the Bill having bee n reported, was ordered to be again considered to-morrolf at one o'clock. (LEFT SITTING.) BO `V-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Easton, porter and carter to Mr. Milligan, o f Hungerford -market, hay and straw dealer,was charged be fore Mr. Hall with stealing a load of hay, value 2/. 105 , s the property of his employer. It appeared that, on Saturday last, the prisoner " 0 sent with the hay to the stables of the London Con' veyance Company, for whom it had been ordered, but on arriving there it was found that the order had been premature; the hay was not wanted, and the stable' keeper could not take it in, not having room for it I° his lofts. Instead of taking the hay back to the ware: house the prisoner offered to one of the companY, 6 , men to give him half the proceeds if he would se" the load for him to any horsekeeper he knew 10 the neighbourhood. That person refused to have anr thing to do with the matter, and the prisoner sold the hay that day to a Mr. Edwards, in Windmill-stree t s Haymarket, for twenty-five shillings. The prisoner's defence was that Mr. Barton, t he foreman of Mr. Milligan, had told him to do what be liked with the hay if the company did not take it In• He could not account for his forgetting to pay in t he money he received from Mr. Edwards, and for not say, _ keg any thi ng a b ou t t h e retusa l o f th e com p an y to take the hay sa orders-d for their stables. Mr. Bart , n distinctly denied that statement as ridicu lous and impossible. The prisoner was fully committed. THE SYNOD MOVEMENT.—With little surprise, though certainly not without satisfaction, we have noted the increasing prevalence of a rumour - now understood to 171 well-founded—that the Synod of Exeter is to be followed immediately by a similar pronunciation on the part of th e diocese of Chichester; while other reports, not yet per clothed with a tangible form, but still bearing every Ina rk ° ,l probability, indicate the cathedral cities of Wells and Ox for as likely to follow in the same path in the course of the Pre sent autumn.— Guardian. ~ r~ i to /Pa vra , bo t Jus Far less lay, ett n And
