Mr. Burford has just produced a spendid panorama of this city, celebrated not only fur its arts and science, but for the most magnificent site perhaps ever selected for the capital of a country. It is a remarkable proof of the taste displayed by the ingenious, refined, and learned Athenians, that even in the infancy of the state, they should have displayed such judg. ment in fixing upon this spot for a city, whose fame was to eclipse all others, whether as regards its temples, its public buildings, or the celebrated men to whom it gave birth. The view is taken from the hill of Musasus, near the singularly strik ing monument of Philopappus. From this spot a most excellent prospect is obtained of the Acropolis and of the su:rounding plain. On the summit of the Acropolis are seen the far famed ruins of the Parthenon, splendid even yet, in their last stage of decay, and on either side on the plain below, in singular contrast, the modern city of Athens, and the elegant palace, lately erected by King Otho for his residence. Looking around we have distant views of the Sgean Sea, the Port of Piraeus, and the islands of Salamis and Corinth, the prospect being closed by Mount Parnes and the snowy range of the Cythapron. The celebrated Pnyx, the beautiful Temple of Theseus, the Areopagus, the River Ilyssus, now a mere rivulet —and, in short, almost every place and monument in the neighbourhood of the Acropolis, celebrated in verse or in his tory, is rendered in this panorama directly from nature. The wholes is painted with consummate art, the nearer objects being relieved with almost magical effect, and the more distant painted with that soft and tent:er touch which so well imitates nature. The varied effects of light and colour on the surrounding hills contrast finely with the quiet tone which pervades the greater part of the level, and with ►he cool tints of the distant -ea. Altogether this is one of the best painted panoramic views Mr. Burford has hitherto presented to the public. _ HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 11. The SPEAKER took the chair at quarter past Twelve. Mr. BENNET was introduced by Sir John Tyrrell and Major Beresford, and took the oaths and his seat for West Suf folk, in the room of the late Col. Ruihbrooke. On tEe Motion of Mr. CARDWELL, it was agreed that the House, at its rising, should adjourn to Monday. Mr. T. DUNCOMEE then moved that the House should now adjourn. Mr. WARBURTON then rose to address the House, when Mr. T. DUNCOM BE moved that the House be counted. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but there being forty Members present, Lord ASHLEY then moved the order of the day for the House going into Committee on the Lunatics Bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then moved that the House should now adjourn. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority against the motion ........-32 The Speaker and the four tellers made thirty-nine Members present, and such being the case, the Speaker vacated the chair, and waited till a Member arrived, when he again counted the House, and there being forty Members in attendance, the House proceeded with the business before it. LUNATICS BILL. On our admission into the gallery, we found Mr. T. DUNCOMBE on his legs, condemning the Luna tics Bill in the strongest terms, and stating his intention, if the Noble Lord opposite persevered with the Bill, to move that it be postponed to next session. This was too important a measure to be discussed in so thin a House, and he should therkore move it be counted. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House was counted, bat there were 40 Members present. On our re-admission to the gallery we found Sir JAMES GRAHAM en his legs, stating that it was at his request th a t th e N o bl e L or d, w h o h a d framed the Bid, with the sanction of the Government, had undertaken the conduct of the Bill. He considered the measure as much the measure of the Government as if he had introduced it himself. This was the reply he made to the Honourable Member, in consequence of his charee of amateur legislation. He had, no doubt, his Noble Friend, if allowed to make his statement, would be enabled to show that a great saving would be effected by the Vommission to be appointed under the Bill. itself intoonthe a qu estion ommit b te e e oingn the put Lunatics tattiohes Bill, House should resolve Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he had a petition to present from an individual, complaining of the treatment of a Mr. White, a poor brother of the Charter-house, in a private mad-house, although several persons had stated that he was not insane. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Lord ASHLEY denied that the Bill was any job, and de fended the course pursued by the Commissioners. The Noble Lord then explained what the state of the law had been up to 1834, and the appointment 'of the Commission. The Act then existing was renewed every three years up to 1842, when a Bill was brought in by his Noble Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancas ter. He then proceeded to explain the nature of that Bill. He then went on to say that the Commission was then ap pointed at that time ; that they reported there were 17 county asylums in England, 11 of which were of a mixed character, and were supported by subscription and voluntary contributions ; there were 99 houses which were licensed by justices, 59 of which received private patients, and 40 received pauper and other patients. In the metropolitan dis tricts there were 37 houses licensed by magistrates, 33 of which received private patients, and the remaining four pauper and other patients. These were visited four times a year. There were altogether 166 houses of this description, which were visited once, twice, and a few of them four times a year. The report on this Commission was presented to that House at the close of the last session ; and as he had taken such a prominent part in the investigations, and having been chairman of the Commission, he had been solicited to bring for ward some measures to remedy the evils which existed, and the result had been the two Bills which were at present under consideration. The Noble Lord then explained the details of his Bills, and said that, if the House had carefully read the report of the Commission, they would have little difficulty in giving their support to them. He also proved that the expense of visitation would be considerably diminished, though the labours of the Commission would be very materially increased.—( Hear.) He then dwelt upen the utility of unexpected and frequent visitation, which would be provided for by these Bills. There was no one better acquainted with the enormous evils which existed under the law as it now stood than he was, and he trusted that the Honourable Member for Finsbury (Mr. Duncombe) would not throw any obstruc tion in the way of those advantages which would un doubtedly result to those unfortunate creatures if these provisions were carried into effect. 'I he Noble Lord then detailed several instances of the most shocking cruelty which the Commission had reported on, and which had been permitted under the existing law, and he hoped that the House would no longer tolerate the existence of those evils which were a disgrace .to the age in which they lived, and more especially to this enlightened country. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved the amendment of which he had given notice—" That the Bill should be postponed till next session, there not being sufficient time this session to give that consideration to the subject which it required." He objected to the construction of the Commission. It should sit perpetually, as the Poor-law Commission did. He did not like these amateur Commissioners ; if they must have Commissioners let them . be properly paid, properly responsible, and placed under the supervision of the Home-office. At the present advanced period of "the session this measure ought not to be pressed forward with such haste It would be better to postpone the measure until next session, and then to insti tute a searching inquiry. This measure would not correct • any of the abuses he had complained of Persons might still be incarcerated by interested parties, upon the production of a certificate signed by two medical men. An inquiry ought to be made, to ascertain if this was such a measure as these unfor tunate people required for- their protection, and such a measure as the nation had a right to expect from that House. The Noble Lord had made no allusion to the petitions which he (Mr. D. ) had presented. Let them look at the petitions of Mr. Perceval and of Mr. Lewis Phillips. Did the Noble Lord mean to say that Mr. Phillips was insane? He (Mr. T. Duncombe) would inform the Noble Lord that Mr. Phillips was as sane as any man in that House. How was it that the allegations of that petition had not been inquired into? He had made inquiries on the subject, and he believed every alle gation of the petition could be made out. ( The Ho nourable Gentleman then read the petition of Mr. L. Phillips, which has already been published.) Mr. Phillips brought an action against Dr. Warburton, which, however, Mr. Chitty sa id cou ld not be sus t a i ne d, be cause he had been incarcerated with a proper certificate, but he indicted Dr. Warburton and all the parties for a conspiracy, and Dr. Warburton paid 1701. rather than let the matter come into court. Mr. Prockter, one of the Commissioner!, who had known Phillips, saw him in the asylum, and said he could not release him until he had had their visit. A poor woman in the next cell to Phillips had complained to the Com missioners, and had been brutally ill-treated by the keeper in consequence. These things required that a searching in quiry should be made into the operation of the present law. There were good things in this Bill ; for instance, the power of visiting asylums for single patients. But he objected to rendering this Commission permanent until inquiry had been made into the working of the existing Commission. This measure had been so smuggled through the House, that the public were not aware that such an important measure was under consideration. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the petitions of Mr. W. Bailey and Captain Digby, both of whom he believed to be sane. He contended that Captain Digby had been confined from interested motives, and that he was not a fit person to be shut up. It was horrible to contemplate the probability of a sane man being committed to one of these dreadful asylums on a certificate signed by two interested apothecaries, without being taken before a magistrate, and without the intervention of a jury. Captain Digby . was not released until he threatened an action against the persons who had incarcerated him, and as a proof that Dr. Stillwell did not consider him very insane he would state that Dr. Stillwell made him sign a cheque for his keep before he was released. He complained that where parties came before the Commissioners to prove the sanity of their friends they were treated with haughtiness and arrogance. Capt. Digby's relations, and some of them ladies too had been thus treated by the Commissioners, ar.d if they would grant him an inquiry he would prove it. Captain Digby, if he were examined, would state the cruelties which he had witnessed, and he did himself honour by the way in which he had come forward. He knew it might be said that Capt. Digby was insane. But he would direct their attention to cases which had come before the police magistrates, and about which there had been no doubt. (The Hon. Gentleman then alluded to the case of Mrs. Finn, who, having been confined as a lunatic, was released through the intervention of Mr. Broughton, magistrate, who had stated from the bench his opinion that the law required alteration.) Now this measure made no alteration whatever in the law in this respect. Ile also objected to the great allowances, and to the large retiring pensions, awarded to the Commissioners and their officers. It savoured of then attempt at a j o b , and that alone ought to throw out Bill. On the amendment being put from the Chair, • Mr. S. Crawford and Mr. Smith rose together, and, neither being inclined to give way, Mr. DUNCOMBE rose to order, and insisted on the priority of Mr. S. Crawford's claim. The SPEAKER having called on that Hon. Member to proceed, • Mr. S. CR A WFORD said that, considering the late period of the session, he thought the proposition of postponement not only reas snable, but absolutely necessary, and he, therefore, should second the amendment of his Hon. Friend the Member SMITH regretted th a t t h e H onoura bl e M em b er who rn a s d bu c r h y o i‘ t : ' i.

B ut the very objects of the Member for Finsbury himself — v i z ,to obviate or remove the evilsexisting promoted by allowing the measure to proceed without delay. The comparison instituted between the two Com missions, the existing and the proposed, was strangely un tenable. The peculiar feature of the Noble Lord's ( Ashley's) Bill was, that it sought to dispense with the present Commis sion, and create another without the anomalies or evils com plalncd of now, and its virtual . .effect would be to postpone the unjustly. As to t, theH ceates,aiifdtrue, certainly l attached powers of the very Commission which was so frequently the anecdote told by the Honourable Gentleman respecting Captain Digby, who was alleged to have signed a cheque when in confinement, and on his liberation immediately going to his and unjustly the officer, but none whatever to the commis sioners.—(Hear, r ) It fell whollir • hear.) . without their juris diction, like that of mr.

Continent about which more ha, bee:i written than that which is the sub ject of the work b. fore us : yet, in justice to the author, e inn t ompletely acquit him if having put f firth what is either or supetthious. Mr Bautsay's " Glance" has nresi-inted many new points of beauty and interest, which could scarcely be observed by the aid of any mere guide-bo k. We shall hest.- xpl lin the distinctive features of this work and guide-book by comparing thehtter to an ordinary snap—the former to a bird's eye view—the one may be accurate and u,e'ul, but the other is, in addition, striking and picturesque. The guide-book, with tabular precision, fixes your route—tells you what, when, where, and how you may see, and eat, or sleep, to the best advantage ; but our author gives you truthful tableaux ef himself and his party of friends at all the ever-varying positions into which such a group can be thrown ; and whether we have them in the "solemn temples" of religion, the rich galleries of art at Antwerp, the vagaries of the royal inauguration fete at Brus-els, "on an empire's dust" at Waterloo, among the musty relics at Aix-la• Chapelle and Cologne, whirling by the Belgian railroad, or treading the deck of the Rhine steamer, climbing Ehrenbreitstein, or strolling on the margin of the " blue Moselle," we must say that they seem to have bean a most enviable set of happy fellows, and our author the very pink of ciceroni, save and except, perhaps, when he runs away from them in order to reach the summit of Ehrenbreitstein, which he saw they would not attempt under a broiling sun. We certainly do not approve of all the writer's senti ments, particularly as respects religion and church matters. Mr. Ramsay does not conceal that he is a high churchman and something more. Anglo-Catholicism is the key-note upon which all the moral of his book seems to turn, and he takes frequent occasion to bring in well 'med remarks upon the forms of the Anglican, as con- Isted with those of the Roman Church. He says of Visit to Antwerp Cathedral on a week day : " Early morn though it was, not only did we find the doors of the cathedral open, but its aisles crowded with worshippers. Two or three priests were officiating in the chapels ; but it was far more solemn and impressive to behold the groups of people, of all ranks and condi tions, young and old, rich and poor, one with another,' all mingled together in acts of devotion. No pews, no fixed beats of any kind encumbered the vast expanse of aisle. Low chairs there were in countless piles, ready to be brought out when required ; and there is a useful contrivance upon them, by which they can conveniently be appropriated either to kneeling or sitting, though the lermer was the use to which we saw them mainly de voted. The place is holy to the breath Of awful harmonics, of whispered prayers.' And with great propriety the accommodations are strictly in accordance with it all. The people were mostly on their knees, in silent prayer; and many a deep•drawn sigh we heard, the emission, we would fain have persuaded ourselves, of a contrite heart. Some were standing, others seated here and there, apparently in serious meditation. All wore the appearance of deep so!emni•y, as though the sanctity of God's more imme diate pre , ence did indeed .` Brood with a voiceless inßuence on the air ; Stern, yet serene ; —a reconciling spell, E..ch troubled billow of the soul to quell.' " So mach for R.anau•Catholicisrn at Antwerp. Of AnJo-Catholicism at Brussels, Mc. Ramsay says— •• There are two English P, otestant, or, we would rather say, Anglo-Catholic chapel:, at Brussels ,• one of them, situated near the Palace. is attended by King Leopold when he is in his capital. There being a great many English residents in Brussels, both these chapels, at:- learned, were well filed on Sundays; but they are closeo all the week, or nearly Si) , whilst the Roman Cathotic churches are open day by day. And eer;.ainly, in resp. et, the cony ivq anythine but favourable, either in what is rpal or eppar, nt, to the English Protestant system. Our tism, in fact, wherever it shows itselt Contliivnt, is by this very contrast made all he more cold and repulsive. That there is religious peace in Brussels, if not religi! conc,rd, we saw much to assure us. The great bulk of the people are of what is virtually the Established Church—that is, the Church of Rome ; and ev,r)thing we saw ccnvini.ed us that 'hey aro devotedly attached to their church.' Tf7e. , e extracts' are sufficient to show the leaning of the work. Its principles cannot be readily adopted by the general rt ader ; but they are asserted with so much sincerity, clnsistency, and good taste, that even those who hold opposite views cannot take offence. When Mr. Ramsay gets into Germany, he seizes the opportunity a viewing the Anglican Church in another light —con trasted with Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Rationalism. He makes the most of the recent exhibition of the Holy Tunic at Treves, of the consequent secession of John Rouge, a priest in Silesia, from the Romish com munion, and his exertions in forming a German Catholic Church. But we cannot follaw this portion of the book further; nor would we wish, indeed, to convey the idea that its pages are surcharged with such grave and weighty matters; they form, as we have said, the key-note of the work ; but many intermediate passages run into the merriest allegro, while the general style is so unaffected and easy, that the author is soon claimed by the reader as an agreeable acquaintance, and carries him along with him right heartily, whether the places traversed inspire the meditative or the mirthful mood. Take, for instance, his " Morning at Coblentz," than which, he tells us, " a lovelier never smiled upon the favoured Rhine, than that which revelled o'er its majestic stream and banks" upon that occasion. " So, then, methought, when rising to resume the march of life, here is morning at Coblentz ! I do, in deed. breathe the air wafted from the wedded waters of the Rhine and Moselle ! What magic has there ever been to me in the names of these rivers ! The one embodying all that i mik stic and grand—the other all that is gentle and lovely I How, when my schoo! ac quaintance with Cesar de belle Gallic°, told me of the Roman legion on the banks of the Rhine, has the inspir ing hope arisen that I might one day behold the river which rolled before the mighty conqueror of the world ! This was my first association of the Rhine. The Rhine and Caesar ever met in my mind. Later years have added the softer tints of legend, poetry, arid romance. German diablerie and English poesy have each added charms to the picture. The confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle has long been a fairy spot in my imagina tion, and here am I about to realise the wish of years." Here, then, we conclude our notice of a book, which we are sure will meet with many readers and admirers, especially among those who are about to "order their wings" for a flight to Belf.num and the Rhine during this tempting weather. The traveller will find this volume both interesting and useful. SAFETY OF THE APOLLO TROOP SHIP. The gratifying intelligence of the safe arrival of the Apollo troop ship at Quebec, on the 14th of June, was received at Lloyd's yesterday. l'ilD CAMBRIDGE AND NORWICH RA `LWAY.—in consequence of an accident on the line below Ely—the Prick-- willow bank —occasioned by a slip in the earth, the opening of the line from Newport is postponed until the 19th inst., but it is not certain that it will even then be in a condition to be opened. It hail been arranged for the ope.aing to base taken place yesterday, on which day the Directors intended to have made a tour of inspec troll throughout the line, and would have dined afterwards in a marquee erected at the Cambridge station. This design is now of course a•ostponed. The line from London to Cambridge's. we are able to state from authority, in a state of perfect readiness for the immettate transit of passengers, &c., but General Pastry, Government Inspector of Railways, declines to sanction the open ing of part of the hue until the whole is completed.— Cambridge Advertiser. OF LADY LOUISA FORBES with feel. ings of the deepest regret we have to announce that Lady Louisa Antoinette, second daughter of the Earl of %Vernyss and March, and wife of William Forbes, Esq., of Callendar, Member for the county, di d on Wednesday morning at Callender House. The melancholy event has caused deep and general sorrow in the dis • triet where Lady Louisa's many virtues, and gentle and 'tillable disposition, made her beloved by all, while her unremitting acts of kindness and charity were extended with a generous and liberal hand to all in poverty or di , tress. And sure we are that in the sad and irreparable bereavement which has deprived Mr. Forbes and his lovely young family of one so dear, precious, and beloved, they have the universal and sincere sympathy of all classes.—Slirling Journal. THE LATE FATAL DUEL AT GOSPORT.—GOSPORT, W E DNESD►Y.—lndependent of the prosecution of Lieutenants Hawkey and Pym. on the part of the Crown, by Mr. John Howard, town.clerk and clerk of the peace of Portsmouth, those gentlemen will also be prosecuted by Mr. James Hoskins, attorney, of Gos port, on behalf of the widow and executors of the late Mr. .ieton. Mr. Hoskins received his instructions to that effect this day. The trial is not expected to come on before Monday next. The friends of Lieutenants Hawkey and Pym are confident of a favourable result to the trial. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE ON THE HUNGERFORD SUS. PENSION-BRIDGE.—At the Lambeth Police-court Ann Adley, a middle aged female, was charged with attempting to throw her. self off the suspension-bridge On the preceding evening the pri soner's appearance attracted the attention of one of the officers on the bridge, and having watched her for some time, he removed her when about to throw herself over the bridge. He took her on shore on the Surrey side, when she promised to go home; but, having made a second attempt to throw herself off a barge, she was taken to the station-house. Drunkenness, it appeared, was the cause of the prisoner's conduct ; and Mr. Norton, after reading her a severe lecture on the impropriety and wickedness of her conduct, discharged her. WILFUL DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.--Dtaing the last few days information has been forwarded to the metropolitan police stations respecting the wilful sinking of several barges which were lying off the premises of Messrs. Hoppe and Co., Blackfriars, on Friday night. The barges were heavily laden with property, which is totally destroyed. A large reward is offered for the apprebenalon of the miscreants. Im.f.):e.RLAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 11. The Loan CsiaNcELLoa took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'clock. LAW OF LIBEL ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The Law of Libel Act Amendment Bill was mead a second time. PRIVILEGE. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid en the table the report of the Committee which had been yesterday appointed to search for nrecedents relating to the petition of Thomas Baker. The Dube of RICHMOND moved that Thomas Baker be called to the bar of their Lordship? house, for the purpose of delivering in the declaration in the action to which his petition referred.—Agreed to. The plaintiff, Thomas Baker, then appeared at the bar, and in answer to questions from the Lord Chancellor and Lords Brougham and Campbell, stated that he bad been summoced, in the month of April, 1844, to appear and give evidence before a Committee of their Lordships' House on the subject of the laws relating to gaming. Since that period he had been served with a declaration in an action for libel, which had been brought against him by a person named Harlow, foe evidence given before that Committee. He had been served with a copy of the declaration in the action, which had been brought in the Court of Queen's Bench, which declaration had been read to him by the clerk to Mr. Baines, his attorney, and a portion of the statement contained in the declaration consisted of a portion of the evidence given by him before their Lordships. He had not made that statement elsewhere. The witness was then ordered to withdraw. The LORI) CHANCELLOR moved that the plaintiff and his attorney be ordered to attend at the bar of their Lordships' House on Monday. By that time the report would have been printed, and their Lordships would be in a condition to con sider the subject. Lord BROUGHAM would not object to the course pro posed to be taken, but he begged to guard himself against being considered as pledged to support ulterior proceedings against the parties by not opposing this motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR also reserved to himself the entire right of determining what course it might be advisable to pursue when they should have had the plaintiff and his at torney before them. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE was rejoiced to find that the House was prepared to assent to this motion. He was glad to find them now prepared to adopt a course so opposed to that which they had pursued yesterday. They were now acting in a manner entirely conformable with the protest which he had made against their proceedings yesterday. They had actually no more information before them, and yet they were now about to do that which they had refused to do yesterday— namely, to summon the plaintiff and his attorney before them. After a few words from Lord Baotronam, and an explana tion from the Marquis of CLANRICAKDE, Lord CAMPBELL said that he should be prepared, at the proper time, when the parties should have appeared at the bar, to submit a motion on the subject of the course to be adopted towards them, which would be in perfect accordance with the practice adopted in similar cases by both Houses of Parliament and by the courts of law. Lord STANLEY reminded the House that they had only agreed to summon the parties to the bar, without pledging themselves as to the adoption of any particular course when they had them there. Lord CAMPBELL said that they now did not know more of the subject than they had known last evening, and yet they were prepared to summon the parties to the bar, which they had refused to do last evening. Lord BROUGHAM said that they had appointed the Com mittee last evening, not only for the purpose of searching for precedents, but to give the twenty-four hours for reflection on the matter before they decided. The Duke of WELLINGTON said they were. in a different position now to that in which they had been placed last even ing. Last evening they had only heard the allegations of the petition. To-night they had had the evidence of the petitioner delivered on oath at the bar, stating that the action had been brought against him for evidence given before their Lord ships.—The motion was then agreed to. ALLEGED RAILWAY FRAUDS. The Earl of CL ANCARTY presented a petition from the Chairman and Directors of the Irish Great Western Railway Company, denying the allegations of a petition presented last evening, charging them with fraud in attaching certain signa tures to the share list without proper authority. The peti tioners stated that they had `no reason to believe that any such fraud had been committed, and that they had exercised the greatest care and vigilance for the purpose of ascertaining that all the signatures attached to the share list were genuine. Petitions were presented in favour of the Wakefield, Ponte fract, and Goole Railway, and the Lynn and East Dereham Railway. RAILWAY DEPARTMENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE. The Earl of DAL HOUSIE,III laying a minute of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade upon the table of the House, said he thought it right to state totheir Lordships the altera tions which Government were prepared to make in the Board of Trade, and the ground upon which they proposed to make the change. After tracing the history of the Railway Depart ment of the Board of Trade, and reminding their Lordships that the House of Commons had departed from their former system of appointing local Committees, and referring only one pro ject or Bi,l to a single Committee, proceeded to remark that the alteration had been found to operate most suecessfully, and before the close of the present session it wasfully anticipated that the greater part, if not all the mass of railway business which had come before the other House would be disposed of, The Noble Lord, after explaining the alterations which had b,en rtia...ie, proceeded to state what. had been the result of the labour of Committees with regard to the Railway Bills which had come before them. On 247 railway schemes, comprising a distance of 8,000 miles, 58 of those schemes were withdrawn, and 19 were rejected for non-compliance with the standing orders. One hundred and sixty of these Bills were read a se cond time. and nine of them were still under consideration ; so that, in point of fact, there were 151 railway schemes which had been reported and decided upon by the House of Commons. Now, of these, there were six ca .es where a different decision had been come to from that of the Railway De,Jartment of the Board of Trade. The gauges case, the Portsmouth, the Run- eorn, the Eastern Counties line, and two other cases. There were eight or nine other cases in which there was also a dif .erent decision come to, but in them there were some compro mises or change of circumstances which accounted for that. Of the whole 151 schemes only 15 were rejected, and 123 were ab solutely confirmed. Now, in future, the Government would not interfere with any railway scheme, but would leave its merit to be decided in the way which had been found to work so admi rably. The minute which he would lay upon the table would embed , / the merits of that arrangement which it was proposed to introduce. Lord BROUGHAM approved of the fair and candid state men's made by the Noble Lord with respect to the decent in terment of the Board of Trade. The Noble Lord then com mented on the immense power of delay which was exercised by Mr. Hudson to protract the passing of railway bills for the pur pose of enabling him to take advantage of their standing orders. If he only got. a bill protracted for so many days more, no re port would be made, and the same sum of money would be ex pended again next session. His advice to the Committee would be to make a report at all events, for it was perfectly necessary for their protection against Mr. Hudson, the Minister of Delay. .—(Laughter.) He was working for delay with a twelve counsel power, each of them being capable of expending as much time as he was capable of expending money; agreeably to themselves and disagreeably to everybody else. He, Mr. Hud son, would be just as well pleased to hear a speech from a coun sel opposed to him of six hours in length as a speech of the same length from his own counsel. He was quite surprised at the eulogiums passed on the Board of Trade by the Noble Lord in announcing its end. Why should they put an end to a body that was gifted with all the good qualities which he (Lord Dalhousie) had attributed to them ? They must have come to their end unfairly, either by murder or suicide. After a few words from Lord FEVERSHANI and Lord BROUGHA al, the matter dropped. COSTS ON RAILWAY COMMITTEES. • Lord BROUGHAM then moved that his railway resolution be adopted as a new standing order. The object of the resolu tion was to make the promoters of a new railway pay the costs of an opposing landholder. The Duke of RICHMOND suggested that a proviso should be introduced providing that costs should not be recoverable in cases where the opposition was proved to be of a frivolous nature. _ . _ Lord BROUGHAM consented to make the alteration. The Earl of WICKLOW objected to the resolution, because there was no precedent on record that could justify their Lord ship; in adopting it. Lord BROUGHAM argued that the resolution their Lord ships had come to relating to costs in their judicial proceedings was a sufficient precedent to justify their Lordships in adopting this resolution. After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE and the Duke of RICHMOND, The Earl of WICKLOW thought that there ought to be some communication between the two Houses before that resolution was carried. He thought there was one material objection to it, which was that it prevented parties from pe titioning the House upon the subject of railways. He thought that as the Noble Lord himself had changed his mind so often upon the subject, it would be well to defer the consideration of the matter. Lord BROUGHAM said that it was impossible for a man to make a frivolous opposition on a matter connected with his own property. Should it be said that a man's resistance of an inva sion of that kind sh..uld be considered frivolous and vexatious? If they did not pass the resolution, they Would'be cont inuin g to Lute a inan'vroperty, and subjecting him durinr, all next session to the expenses consequent on his resistance. • He thought, in conclusion, that proceeding by resolution was 'a much better mode of proceeding than by Bill. Lord WHA RNCLIFFE said that no alteration which the Noble Lord could make in the resolution would make it accept able to him. Lord BR )UGH AM said that if no change that he could make would please the Noble Lord—if the Government set their lace apinst the resolution in every shape, he would wash his }lat.& of the matter. ~ Lott WHARNCLIFFE said that he did not speak as a member of the Government. He spoke as a member of the Howe of Lord,. _ _ . Lord PORTMAN was very glad of the course taken by th• Noble and L 'arned Lord (Lord Wharncliffe. ) He was inclined to think that all these things should be regulated by Act of Parl►ament. He thought the most proper course to follow would be to proceed by B►ll. One Noble Lord stated that the C 0455 of these schemes should be taxed. Now if the costa on other proceedings could not be taxed unless by Act of Parlia ment, he did not see how they could give costs on railway legislative proceedings. Lord BROUGHAM said that he never had occasion to hear so many mistakes in all his life as the Noble Lord made who hal just sat down. The resolution which he purposed to add to the standing orders of the House was based upon the report of the Committee to which the Noble Lord referred. Lord POR MAN intimated his assent, but said that he did not mean to state that there had been a discrepancy. Lord BROUGHAM asked if there was any Noble Lord present who did not believe that the Noble Lord wished to convey the idea that there was a discrepancy between the reso lution and the report of the Committee ? The Earl of DEVON thought it would be most discredit able to the House if they would not hear any parties who might petition the House. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to know what the position of the qaestion before the House was? He understood that the Noble Lord ( Brougham) wished to withdraw his re solution, and bring it forward, in an amended form, on Mon day night, and, if that were so, he thought it was only waste of time to continue the discussion. Lord LAN •DOWNE then moved for leave for the Noble Lord to withdraw his resolution, and to submit it again on Monday. Lord WHARNCLIFFE then withdrew his opposition. Lord BROUGHAM was sorry that his Noble Friend had done so, for he wished to have had the pleasure of a triumph over him. After a few words from the Earl of Devon, Lord Brougham, and Lord Redesdale, The resolutions were then postponed till Monday. The Documentary Evidence Bill was read a third time and passed. The Earl of CLANCARTY gave notice that early next session he should move for a Committee to inquire into the working of the Irish poor-law. Several Bills were then advaWced a stage, and their Lord. , ships adjourned. tioner to recover damages. The Hon. Baronet moved that the petition be printed, and gave notice that he should submit a motion on the subject on Monday next. Mr. DIVETT said he hid a petition on the same subject feom Mr. Parrott, who stated, that in giving the evidence complained of, he had been actuated by no malicious or vindictive feeling, and that such evidence was given under a sense of duty which he owed to that Hon. House. The petitioner prayed for an opportunity to substantiate the truth of his statements, and alleged that Mr. Phillips had not been deprived of any office in consequence of the evidence of the petitioner. Mr. BALFOUR presented a petition against the Scotch Poor Law. Messengers from the Lords then brought in several Bills from the Upper House. THE DANISH CLAIMS. Mr. HAWES postponed his motion on the Danish claims till Tuesday week. CRIMINAL JURISDICTION. _ Mr. ESCOTT said he world on v Tuesday next move for leave to bring in a Bill for the abolition of certain unjust fees in courts of criminal jurisdiction. POOR-LAW AMENDMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved the order of the day fur going into committee on the Poor-law Amendment (Scotland) Mr. HUME said that while he was most anxious that her 11Iajesty 's Government should ameliorate the condition of the poor in Scotland, he was yet anxious, as the Bill before the House was a long one, containing many provisions, that it should be post poned till next session, so as to give the people of Scotland an opportunity of testing the Bill, and of postponing such amend ments as would render further legislation unnecessary. He trusted that they would, therefore, postpone the Bill. Mr. EWA RT quite agreed in the opinion of his Hon. Friend (Mr. H ume ) that the measure should be left over till next session. He thought an opportunity ought to be ac oorded every Member of the House, but especially those re presenting Scotch communities, to consult their constituencies on the measure. He for one wished for such an opportunity, as he should be in a better position next session to give a de cided vote upon the Bill. Mr. P. M. STEWART said he would go further than either of the Hon. Members who had preceded him, in urging the postponement of the measure. He asked the Government to apply to Scotland their own principle—that principle which had guided them in their conduct of other propositions intended for the benefit of other parts of the kingdom. He asked them to look at the feeling of Scotland upon this measure, to consult the opinion of the people of that country, and then act upon the expressed advice of those most competent to give it. Now, though this Bill had been more than two months before the public, not one petition had been presented in its favour—( Hear, hear)—while, on the other hand, numerous had been the petitions laid on the table of the House in its condemnation. It was a measure which while bringing no good to any one, but making the case of the poor man infinitely worse, would, as his Hon. Friend the Mem ber for Montrose had said, encumb'sr the statute-book, already overloaded with amended laws, with anotlier altered or re scinded enactment next session. The present was purely a national question. He was willing to assist the Government on the subject of national legislation. The proposed measure (1 , (1 no good to the poor man. No sufficient equivalent was substituted for the pains and distresses which he suffered. The Hon. Member for Peebles might shake his head, but that fur nished no argument. There was the evidence of the parish of St. Cuthbert, a little world in itself, resisting the Bill. The Bill was not passed yet, and the parish of St. Cuthbert, which contained a population of 70,000 individuals, objected to the measure, because it would amalgamate them with the city of Edinburgh. They provided for their own poor, had their own workhouses, and were perfectly independent of the city, and yet it was intended by the present measure to assimilate them with the city where the poor-rates were is: 6d. in the pound. The Bill would force them to join with the city. That was a sample of the entire measure. The centralisation system was founded on a false principle, and would occasion universal discontent if the Bill were proceeded with any further, as it now stood. Why not consult the feelings of the people of Scotland? He would say, let the Bill for the present stand as it did, but do not let it be passed through the statute-book until the next session, in order that sufficient time may be afforded to make the neces sary inquiries for proper alterations. He would say that they ought to apply the same principle to Scotland that they applied to other questions. Hardly had one petition been receive' in favour of the measure, while great numbers had been forwarded against the measure from the people of Scotland. All admitt e d that legislation was necessary, that a poor-law was wanted for the people of Scotland, but they considered that 'the present measure, instead of effecting an improvement, would render matters far worse than they now were.—( Hear. ) Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that''as a direct appeal had been made to him, he would briefly address himself to the ques tion. If ever there was a question which was divested of all party character it was the present. It was said that the present Bill was a crude measure, and that time had not been given for the due consideration of the question. That was not the ease. There had been ample inquiry made before the present Bill was framed. Evidence bad been taken before a commission, and _ whatever difference of opinion might prevail as to many points of that evidence, it was generally admitted that it abundantly proved the necessity of legislation. That evidence had been before Honourable Members for twelve months. He was sorry that any man should think that the Bill was a crude and im perfect measure, yet in supporting that opinion it could not be said that it had been hurried through the House. The Bill was introduced at the beginning of the session, it had been amply _discussed, and a large majority of the House had decided in its favour. It had also been once postponed, in order to allow the people of Scotland an opportunity of discussing its provisions. His Right Hon. and Learned Friend (the Lord Advocate) and himself had given the measure their best consideration and most anxious attention, and it was their deliberate opinion that it was as good a measure as could, under the circum stances, be introduced. When be remembered how muds the matter had been canvassed, and what a' length of time the people of Scotland had bad for deliberation, he could not see that there was any necessity for further postponement. The Hon. Gentleman said there were no petitions in favour of the measure, whilst a great number were against it. He ( Sir James Graham) must say that he had never known, in all his Parliamentary experience, a measure of this kind to be petitioned for. He thought, when the measure came into full operation, the people of Scotland would be well satisfied with it. The House had already, by a large majority, twice affirmed the principle of the 811, and if, after passing through Committee, there remained anything obnoxious in it, the Hon. Member could move the amendment on the third read ing of the Bill. — Dlr. LOCKHART thought, with some modifications, the Bill might be made acceptable to the people of Scotland. He further thought that it would prove a remedial measure. The only clause he objected to was the 16th clause; with that ex ception he approved of the Bill. Mr. GIBSON CRAIG was understood to say that he entirely approved of the Bill, and thought it would be received with approbation by the people of Scotland. Mr. HASTIE hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would post pone the Bill, at least for the present. That some remedial measure for the condition of the poor of Scotland was neces sary, he did Tilt mean to deny; but in consequence of the manner in which the press had described their sufferings, much had been done to ameliorate their condition, and they were nosy in a better state than they had been for some time. He must repeat his desire that the Government would postpone the Bill. Lord DUNCAN did not agree with the Hon. Member in thinking the condition of the poor of Scotland at all improved. Mr. E. ELLICE said he held in his hand a statement, from which it appeared that since the discovery of the actual state of the law, the poor had been in a much better condition, and were better cared for than they were before. He differed very much from the opinion of his Hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh. He knew that the almost unanimous opinion of the people was against this Bill being passed in its present shape. He had met with but one opinion with respect to this Bill if it were passed in its present shape, and that was, that it would be most mischievous in its effects. At a meeting lately held in Scotland, this Bill was declared to be a fraudulent at tempt to take away the rights of the poor. He entreated the Right Hon. Baronet to pause before he pressed this measure. Sir J. 111 , TAGGART could bear testimony to the accuracy of what had fallen from his Hon. Friend the Member for Paisley. Sir J. HOPE, and Mr. P. BORTHWICK supported the Bill. Mr. G. DUNCAN said he had received a great many letters upon this subject from various parts of Scotland very recently, and some of them even that day, all of which ex pressed their dissent to this Bill, in many of its clauses. Now, with regard to the definition of the sum at which parties were to be rated, he understood it was intended to be fixed at 40/. ; but if it was, he would ask, why not state it in the Bill? ( Hear.) But if the Bill were to be passed into a law in its present state, so far from its being of any benefit, it would be an unfailing source of litigation, and of heart-burning and ill will. -Mr. ROSS said he represented a portion of the country where the people were deeply interested in this Bill, and there were some clauses in it that were deemed so unjust and so monstrous, that if the Right Hon. Baronet opposite did not eonsent to abandon them altogether, he would give the Bill all the opposition in his power. What he now wished more par ticularly to advert to was this : it would appear by this Bill that neither an Irishman nor an Englishman could acquire a right to relief in Scotland. Now, let him ask, was it because that men happened to be natives of.either England or Ireland that no period of residence in Scotland would give them a right to relief ? Was it possible that an Irishman, who might have spent his youth, and his blood, and his sinew in enabling a Scotch manufacturer to convert the man's strength into goods, that at the end of his power of labour he was to be turned adrift, sent back to Ireland, and, finding that none there lived belong ing to him, he was to find no asylum in Scotland if he should return to it, but be treated as a vagabond. Such treatment would be enough to make a man's blood boil. But let him asic what argument could he, as an anti-repealer, use against such a law ? If. then, the Right Hon. Baronet did not abandon those clauses he (Mr. Ross) would move that the Bill be read a third time that day three months. Mr. T. DUNCOM BE said that though he was not con nected with Scotland, yet he had received several petitions from different parts of that country against the measure. He had received petitions from Aberdeen, from Dundee, from Edin burgh, from Paisley, and from Glasgow, and the parties sign. ing them all complained that the Bill contained no provision for the relief of able-bodied paupers out of employment. The question was whether the Bill would not place the poor in a worse position than before ? He considered it would. The measure, in his opinion, was hurried through the House in order to put au end to , certain rights of appeal that have lately been dis covered as belonging to the people. It was found that the poor had an appeal to the Court of Session, which the present Bill now sought to quash. He hoped, from the feeling displayed by the people of Scotland in their petitions, that the Right Hon. Gentleman would consent to the postponement of the Bill to another session. Colonel RA WDON supported the postponement of the Bill. Nearly all the Scotch Members in the House had either spoken or voted against the measure, and great numbers of petitions bad been presented to the House from the people of Scotland against it. On these grounds he hoped that the fur ther consideration of the Bill would be put off till the next session. There was one clause which had his most decided op position. It was a most inhuman and cruel clause. It pro•. vided that persons under the necessity of applying a second time for relief should be acted towards as a criminal, and under certain circumstances be treated as a felon. Such a clause was so harsh, so inhuman, and so unconstitutional, that he could not consent to going into Committee on such a Bill. He concluded by moving that the Bill be read that day three months. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that the objections of the Gallant Colonel were matters of detail, and could be better discussed in Committee than now. He denied that the clause was of the penal character described. It only provided that in ease of parties living on the parish funds under circumstances where they might be able to work, and had reasonable pros pect of employment, should be treated as rogues and vaga bonds. The same principle was recognised in England, as well as in. Scotland. It was, therefore, nothing new, and was ne cessary as a protection against fraud. After a few words from Colonel RAWDON, • Mr. HAMILTON said he should be sorry to defeat the measare, as the objectionable clauses were stated to be an open question. He hoped the Gallant Colonel would withdraw his motion, and allow the House to go into Committee. Unless the clauses then were much modiffed, he should certainly give the Bill his most decided opposition. Sir J. GRAHAM explained, and . hoped that Hon. Mem , hers would go into . Coinmittee on the Bill, when a full oppor tunity would be allowed of discussing the clauses. Lord , HAMILTON condemned the clauses of the Bill relating to Irishmen, and hoped that, on going into Committee, they would be altered so as to give the natives of that country an industrial settlement. Mr. HENLEY said that unless the clauses were much al tered, he should give the Bill every opposition in his power.— ( Loud cries of " Divide.") The Gallery was then cleared for a, division, when there appeared— Far the amendment Against it Majority against the amendment ...... —52 Mr. HUME said, that he himself did not give trouble to the Government with respect to this Bill, but he only for warded to the Lord Advocate all the requests of the working classes in Scotland that it should be postponed. He had been assured that the going into Committee would not be pressed against the wishes of the people of Scotland, whom this Bill would affect. He wished to see the Bill postponed and cor rected. He thought it was the Bill of the rich man, against the poor man. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that he was Terfectly con vinced that his Hon. Friend had not expressed his own opinions, but those of others, for he well remembered that when his L arned Friend (the Lord Advocate) first introduced the Bill, the Hon. Member Oh. Hume) expressed : his de cided approbation of it. Lord JAMES STUART begged to say, that he and many Members at his side of th e H ouse , whom he could answer for, bad voted in accordance with their views, as to their public duty. He would not sit in that House to sup port landlords' measures, nor to give his vote in favour of any measure which would be oppressive to the poor of Scotland. It was said that there were no petitions presented from Scot land but which were hostile to this Bill. He himself had pre sented a petition from his own constituents, and he could not say that there was any desii e expressed in it for the postpone ment of the Bill. He could not perceive that it was a landlords' Bill, as was stated. He was, therefore, in favour of their going into Committee once more on it. Mr. P. M. STEWART approved of the introduction of the poor-law into Scotland, but yet he was of opinion that the measure should be postponed till next session, in order to give themselves the opportunity of obtaining information on the subject from practical men, and framing the Bill so as to be satisfactory to all parties. • Lord DUNCAN said that it was difficult to discover what they were at. If they wished to discuss the principles of the Bill, would it not be better to do so on the third reading, and if they wished to discuss the details, why not go into Committee on the clauses? The Hou:e then went into Committee. On th.e reading of claim. 35, Mr. GLADS 7 TONE said that there was a great necessity to improve the provision for the poor in Scotland. But, unhap pily, the question had been mixed up with ecclesiastical and territorial matters with which they had no natural or necessary connexion. He thought that farm servants and domesties should not be assessed to the poor-rates. Mr. HOPE saidhe had had peculiar opportunities of seeing the working of this law. In the parishes with which he was con nected they had only been driven to the assessment in conse quence of the larger proprietors having refused to contribute their share of the funds necessary for the support of the poor. The clause was then agreed to. On the 36th clause' being proposed, Mr. M. S-TEWART said -that• he should wish to see some more practical machinery to carry out the clause. • Mr. HUME said that he should be glad to see any means by which, in the case—of refusal, any proprietor could be corn ,7.pelled to pay• his portion. Certainly there was 'none 'in the clause. • Mr. E. ELLICE thought, that some better means should to provided for_ the certainty of obtaining relief for the pauper. In the Lowlands the clause might work.very well, .but in the parishes in the Highlands there was a great. difference. In three counties there was no possibilityof enforcing this relief. Mr. ESCOTT theught that some better, means should be adopted for enabling the authorities to grant more efficient relief than that which the clause allowed. Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE said that much was to be granted for what had been said on the other side of the House ; but he was quite inclined to agree with what had fallen from the , Hon. Member for Winchester (Mr. Escott), and that greater facility should be given for the obtaining of this relief, and for increasing the amount of it. Mr. HAWES said that the Bill was well worthy of consi deration, and from the opinion which had been stated by Dr. Alison and Dr. Chalmers, he was quite ready to believe that its effect would be to improve the condition of the lower classes of the people of Scotland, and it was a matter of indifference as to how the assessment should be enforced. After a few words from Lord DUNCAN, The LORD ADVOCATE said that he was not prepared to say that there were not difficulties in, the aay of urging this assessment, but in those parishes where the system had been adopted it had worked most satisfactorily. He had received a great many communications, and he was justified by the tenour of the whole of them in persevering in promoting the principle of the Bill and the integrity of this clause. It had been a matter of peculiar care with him to frame the clause in such a way that the property should be assessed in the parish in which it was situated. He had endeavoured to take the benefit of all the communications from different parts ofScotland, and they were very numerous, and to embody them in this Bill. He had taken care that the assessment should be made on the actual means of the residents. By the law as it stood, one half was raised on the real property, and one half on the other means of the parties, so that if a man had 5001. a year from real property, and 5001. a year from other sources, he paid on the 1,000/. a year ; and the same rule held in all cases, and thus got rid of this source of complaint. With regard to the mode of levying the tax, he proposed that one half should be levied off the land lord, and one half off the tenant, and he did think that would be a fair and equitable mode, and to prevent the possibility of that mode being rendered oppressive, he had placed in the hands of the Board of Supervision a sufficient remedy, as *ell as a proper guard against any one party being assessed in more than one parish, unless under peculiar circumstances. Mr. P. SCROPE begged to remind the Lord Advocate of the fact that while the sale and transfer of property in Scotland would go on, still the assessment would be the same, and no power proposed to be given to the Board of Assessmentafforded a remedy against such a state of things, while, at the same time, an illimitable power of assessmen t was proposed to be given to the Board of Control. He would ask how would that Board of Assessment deal with a man who might have an income of 1,000/. a year from funded property. These, and several other matters of an objectionable nature suggested themselves to his mind by the assessment clauses of the Bill. Mr. HUNIE said it appeared to him that the Bill made a number of alterations which would be found to be very op pressive. He would suppose such a case as that of a_ man re ceiving 5,000/. a year from the East Indies, and 5,0901. a year from the West, and yet residing in Scotland in a part of the country where he might have a small property in each of three parishes ; he (Mr. Hume) would wish to know in which of the three parishes he was to be assessed for this property of his in India ? The LORD ADVOCATE said he thought he had already satisfactorily explained that difficulty. Mr. HUME did not th'nk it would be fair to assess the property in India of a gentleman who might have come to a parish in Scotland merely for a few months' shooting, and where he might be the only person' in the parish who could be assessed. Mr. SMOLLETT said he thought that some distinction ought to be made in the assessment between those who held land under different circumstances. Mr. ESCOTT did not think the mode of assessment at all an equitable one. Mr. EWART conceived it an inconsistent thing that this Bill should provide that in certain cases the mode of assessment now existing should continue. The LORD ADVOCATE said that the Bill provided re medies before the Board of Assessment in all cases where any questions of difficulty of a peculiar nature should arise. Mr. G. DUNCAN said the Bill provided in certain cases that where the rate could not be had, the process of distress against the goods should be had recourse to ; but he would ask how that remedy could be had recourse to in cases of persons with three and four thousand a year living actually in hovels, several of which he was aware of. Mr. P. SCROPE hoped that a system of assessment would be adopted that would have stability. The proposed mode of assessment would be a premium to absenteeism, and a penalty to persons residing on their estates in Scotland. Sir J. GRAHAM wished that Scotch Members should avail themselves of the experience which the English law at present afforded, and the fruits would then be an attempt to escape those evils which were complained of in the present law. Tne provision entitled Foulet Scrope's Act was exactly similar to the mode of rating recommended by Hon. Members opposite; that Act was rigid and unbending ; and though its principle was good, as effecting a uniform system of rating, yet, as it had proved wholly inoperative, he was loth to adopt the same unsuccessful experiment in the assessment of any other part of the kingdom. Mr. P. SCROPE denied the analogy between the Act he had introduced into England and that now sought to be applied to Scotland. Sir J. GRAHAM explained. Mr. BAINE said, that as the town of Greenock had been mentioned in the course of the debate, he wished to take the opportunity of expressing his entire concurrence in the clause, and his astonishment at the unmeaning opposition evinced against it. In this opinion he was backed by strong represen tations from the inhabitants of Greenock, who were extremely anxious that the present mode of rating should not be altered, and felt considerable alarm at a change so serious being threatened. Mr. ESCOTT, after the opinion thus strongly expressed of the feeling of the people of Greenock, and, he doubted not, of the entire population of Scotland, hoped the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department would with draw the Bill altogether, as its very essence was a change in the mode of assessing the rates. Mr, DARBY supported the clause. Mr. E. ELLICE, jun., did not think the present law so ob jectionable as had been attempted to be proved. If any part whatever of the Act did operate prejudicially, it was that which related to means and substance. He was quite certain that if the Bill was passed, it would be the occasion of much legis lation en the subject of assessment, as it was more inquisitorial than that of the income tax. He perfectly agreed that the poor-law in Scotland should be assimilated to the poor-law in Ireland. Lord DUNCAN said that it was much more easy to speak against the measure than to propose a new one. For his own part, he thought that in lieu of a better system, the one before the House should be adopted. He trusted, however, that the intentions would be subsequently imp! oved. Mr. REbINGTON said that the proposition laid down by the Lord Advocate was, that he was adhering to the law of Scotland ; but he (Mr. Redington) asked if he was doing so ? He said no. He contended that the Lord Advocate was most inconsistent, and did not adhere to his promise. lie was changing the whole system of the law in Scotland, end in a manner, too, which would be most unacceptable to the Scot tish people. The manner in which the Irish paupers would be treated in Scotland under the proposed law, would be most unsatisfactory to the Irish people generally. Mr. GLADSTONE said he thought those without domi ciles should be provided for, so as there should be no doubt er uncertainty about their relief. It was only right there should be a clear understanding on this subject. Mr. HUME moved the following amendment to the clause : —" At the end of line 17, that no person having less than 401. a year from means and substance, should be so assessed." The LORD ADVOCATE said it was very hard• to fix a precise sum, f or th e expense o f li v i ng was greater or lr t s in might different parts of th e coun t r y. A m i n i m um g fixed, it was true ; b u t th a t ru l e wou ld b e s ometimes the cause of hardship. Mr. HUME thought it should be left to the discretion of the board of guardians. Mr. ELLICE, jun., said the words " means and substance" not being defined, he would vote against the clause. The House then divided, when their appeared— For the clause Against it ............... . . ... Majority in favour of the clause —6o Clauses 36 and 37 were agreed to. On clause 3t being proposed, Mr. P. M. STEWART objected. He thought that exces sive powers were invested in the hands of the Commissioners. The clause, after a few words from the LORD ADVO CATE, was ordered to stand part of the Bill. Clauses 39 and 40 were passed without opposition. Mr. P. BORTHWICK proposed that a provision should be added, that no person not having a provision to the amount of 401. should be rated. Clauses 41, 42, 43, and 44 were then passed without objec tion, as was also clause Clause 46 was then agreed tn. On the reading of the 47th clause, Mr ELLICE moved an amendment to the effect that the clergy of the Established Church should not be exempted from the payment of poor-ra'es. The LORD ADVOCATE opposed the amendment. He was Killing to make some change in the clause to meet the wishes of the Hon. Member opposite, if the particular amend. ment was not pressed. After a desultory conversation, Mr. ELLICE withdrew his amendment, and the chute Was agreed to. Clauses 4S and 49 were also agreed to. Clauses 50, 51, and 52 were then agreed to. On clause 53 being read, Lord DUNCAN moved an amendment to the effect that inspectors should not be dismissed without the authority of two-thirds of the board. After a short discussion the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment .. ti ll Against it Majority against the amendment The clause was then agreed to, as were also clauses 54 and 55. The House then resumed, the Chi.irman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday next. The Grand Jury Presentments (Dublin} Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Tuesday next. The Borough and Watch Rates Bill went through Com mittee. The Spirits (Ireland) Bill, the Bothwell Prison Bill, and the Bonded Corn Bill having respectively been read a secor.d time, the llnuse went into Committee on the _ -- IRISH JOINT-STOCK COMPANY'S HILL, The preamble of which being proved, and the clause agreed to, the House resumed, and on the motion for the House going into Committee on the ,lINAL JURISDICTION OF ASSISTANT BAR _ _ RISTERS (IRELAND) Mr. BROTHERTON moved the adjournment of the House. Sir T. FRENIANTLE, rather than impose such an incon venience on the House, would suggest the postponement of the committal of the Bill till Monday next. Mr. T. B. C. SMITH, who introduced the measure, hiving acceded to this proposal, the 'report of the Alerehint Scameu s Bill was, after a few words from the Chancellor of the Ex chequer; Captain Berkeley, Mr. Was n, Sir C.
