IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, August 8. The LORD CILINCELLOA took his seat on tho Wool sack at Five o'clock. GRAND JURY CESS (IRELAND) DILL. The Marquis of CLA.NRICARDE moved the second reading of this Bill. The Earl of LUCAN oppoged the motion, because the House of Commons Mid rejected the Landlord and Te nant (Ireland) Bill. If they refused to give landlords facilities for enforcing the payment of rent, it was unjust to call on them to pay cess. He asked the Noble Mar quis whether the Landlord and Tenant Bill had been re jected by the House of Commons? The Marquis of CT. ANRICARDE said that the Landlord and Tenant Bill had, as he understood, not been rejected, but that the debate had been adjourned. The Earl of LUCAN said it was well understood that a compromise had been entered into that if the Outrages Iceland Bill should be passed, the Landlord and Tenant Bill should be rejecte 4 . The Earl of WICKLOW said that such an under standing W 23 a matter of which he disapproved, but it appeared that the Secretary for Ireland and the Govern ment had Supported the Landlord and Tenant Bill. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that the ex istence of the evil fo- which the Landlord and Tenant Bill was intended to provide a remedy was acknowleged la both Houses of Parliament. After a short conversation the motion was agreed to, sod the Bill was read a second time. HARTLEPOOL DOCKS BILL. On the motion of Earl BRUCE this Bill was ordered to be recommitted. PETITIONS. The Earl of MALNIESBURY presented a petition from a board of guardians in Worcestershire, praying for a revision of the law of parochial assessment. SUMMARY JURISDICTION (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved that this Bid be read a second time. Lord MONTEAGLE comtplained that this Bill gave to a single magistrate the power hitherto exercised by petty sessions, and would give too much power to a single stipfndiary magistrate. He hoped that this objection might be remedied in Committee. The Earl of WICKLOW was in favour of the Bill, and thought his Noble Friend who had last spoke had overstated the objections to it. Under the present law a single magistrate might act in petty sessions, and it would be utterly impossible to carry on the magisterial business of the country it a single magistrate were not so authorised to act. The Earl of GLENGALL supported the Bill. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE hoped their Lord ships would pass the Bill in its present shape. The Earl of LUCAN considered this was a most valuable Bill, and that the Government were entitled to the thanks cf the people of Ireland for its introduction. In the part of the country with which he was connected it would be impossible to hold a petty session at all if it were not for the presence of the stipendary magistrate. The Bill was then read a second time. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL.—COM- MONS' AMENDMENTS. The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE then moved the order of the day for rho consideration of the Commons' amendments to the Exlesiastical Commission Bill. T,he Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved the re jection cf the Commons' amendments on the 13th clause: The Commons, by these amendments, had united toge ther the episcopal and the general fund, when the House -of Lords had separated the funds from each other. He, therefore, moved the rejection of the Commons' amend ments. • The Marqifis of LANSDOWNE supported the Com ' mons' amendments. The Earl of POWIS supported the amendment of the Archbishop. If the two funds were amalga 'mated together, it would be annually distributed, it 'would be absorbed in small livings, and when the - - 'establishment of a new bishopric was considered de sirable they would be told there was no fund for its es tablishment, and that would be a just answer. The Commons' alteration was an invidious attempt to prevent the establishment of new bishops when required to meet the wants of the increasing population. The Bishop of OXFORD remarked, that under the net, arrangements the fund for bishops would be fare stalled. He hoped their Lordships would adhere to their former decision. After a few words from Earl GREY and the Bishop of SALISBURY, Their Lordships divided, when there appeared— For the Archbishop of Canterbury's amendment— _ Contents ... ... 22 Non•contents ... 37 Majority for the Government ... —l5 The Commons' amendments were then agreed to. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the Mauritius, very numerously signed, complaining of the injury that had been done to the petitioners by the Go vernment exiposing them to competition with slave grown sugar; and they prayed for protection. The Noble Lord then presented a second petition, which he said was one of the greatest importance. It was numerously signed by the magistrates, freeholders, and other inhabitants of Westmorland, in Canada.. They referred to a project which had been for some time under consideration—namely, the extension of a railway com munication through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Canada, to Quebec. They stated that such a railway would confer the greatest benefits throughout those - parts, and the happiest results would flow from its establishment; that it would open up about 4,800,000 acres of waste land, and they asked this country to join with the colonies in affordiree an equal guarantee for the whole amount of 120,000/7 a year, and four per cent. upon the 3,000,0001. of money which the railway would cost. 'I he! Noble Lord observed that this was not an application fur a guarantee for 120,000/. or 60,0001.; but. ivasmuch as 7bo colony had already guaranteed such an amount as would fall short of the interest, they. asked this country to join them in a similar guarantee. In the event of the interest amounting to 4 per cent., then neither of the guaranteeing parties would he called upon for anything. They prayed that this railway might be carried out, so that the large sums of money that wan at present p aid fur the transmission of mails to foreign countries might be saved. The colony proposed to gua rantee 60,000/. a) ear, and to reclaim 4,800,000 acres of land, and they merely asked this country to give a similar guarantee. Ile (Lord Stanley) took a great interest in • the success of thin project, and he ventured to recommend _ . • it to their Lordships' consideration. The Fisheries B►ll was read a second time. t, The Mercantile Marine (Ni. 2) Bill (as we under stood) was passed through Committee without any amend ment being proposed. , The Excise Sugar and Licences Bill was read a third time and passed. BENEFICES PLURALITIES BILL. The Co -- raiToa - s 7- a — mead - m — e - a - t - s - in - il - lis — Bill were agreed to. The Securities (Iretand) Act Amendment Bill passed through Committee. BOROUGH COURTS OF RECORD (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, The Earl of GLENGALL moved as an amendment that the manor courts be exempted frora the operations of the Bill. TheLORD CHANCELLOR opposed the amendment. Lord REDESDALE was of opin - ion that the question of the manor courts might be put off for future conside ration. _ _ After a short discussion strangers were ordered to withdraw, bat their Lordships did not divide. The amendment was negatived without a division. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. 110 USE OF co mmoNs, August 8 . (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) IMMIGRATION OF AFRICANS TO THE WEST On the motion that the Consolidated Fund (Appro. pritrion) Bill be read a third time, Mr. BERNAL called the attention of the House to the evils at present arising to our West Indian Colonies, particularly to Jitnaica. owing to the state of the law with regard to the employment of Africans who immi grated to those colonies. According to existing arrange menus natives of Africa were brought to the colonies under agreements binding only for one year, and it generally Kapp ned that their labour was not remunera tive to their employers during that period. When they arrived they were generally covered with sores, and unfit for work, and it was a long time before they be came tractable. The labouring population was in con sequence in a very deplorable state, and was every day more deserving the serious and matornal consideration not only of the Government of the colony, but also of this country. What be proposed was that the period for employing thiise people should not be less than three years, and in that case he thought their employers would be induced to devote more attention to their moral, religious, and mental improvement. There were important points connected with this ques lion, and he hoped that the attention of the Colouial office would be turned to it. Mr. HUME could confirm the melancholy facts which had been stated by the Honourable Gsutleman. The remedy was not so far removed as might seem on the first sight. It was to apply the same rules to labour there as they did to labour in this country. He had often said of the importa tion of labourers from the coast of Africa, they were slave , ' there and as soon as they landed on any of our • colonies they became free. He could enter into the pre judice which existed against this practice, because of the similitude which it bore to the slave-trade; but he did not think that it ought to ope rate practically in preventing the colonies from obtaining free labour. Some suthestep, must be taken or eke the greater part of the celoni'es would soon become of use neither to tly 4 s i canify nor those who remained these. Mr. HAWES would be sorry for the House to suppose that the Colonial-office was indisposed to listen to any hints which might fall from th e two Honourable Gentlemen who had just spoken. With ri , apect to the ob,ervations of the Hen. Member for Itochenter (Mr. Bernal), to the term of duration of the contract , : entered into by immigrants, neither him self nor the Noble Lord at the head of the Colonial office very much approved of long contracts of this kind, for it was quite in the power of the itnrnitgrants, if they were indisposed to work, to Make these contracts a burden to the employer. There was nothing to en force work without resorting t 3 means which would be jioaly reprobated. The sanction, however, of the Colonial-office had been given to contracts fur three yaars in British Guiana, and although the term was still limited to one year, the alteration rested with the local Legislature, and not with the Colonial-office. It was a mistake to suppose that the subject of the importation of free labour into the colonies was a subject which had never been taken into consider ation by the Colonial-office. Many efforts had been made, but he considered that it was a thing almost im possible, except by means which he was sure the House and this country would never sanction. The Bill was then read a third time. On the question that the Bill do pass:, Mr. HUME wished to prote,t against the evil policy of the Colonial-office. He considered that they never would put an end to slavery in the Brazils and Cuba, until they made free labour chearer than slave labour, If they refused that labour, it was they, and none others, who pervtnated the slave trade. The Bill was then passed. CRIME AND OUTRAGE BILL (IRELAND). On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. MOORE wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what course the Government meant to take with reference to the Landlord and Tenant Bill of the Hon. and Learned Member for the University of Dublin? Sir G. GREY bad already stated that as the Bill came down from the Lords he could not support it. Many of the clauses of the Bill had been struck out in Com mittee, and now no doubt it was a very different Bill to that'which came down from the Lords; but the Lords bad restored some of those clauses, and he therefore did not think the House would be instifiea in adopting the Bill iu its present shape. At this periol of the session he thought the Bill ought to be withdrawn. Mr. A. STAFFORD believed it was the intention of the Hon. Member for the University of Dublin, whO had charge of the Bill, to adopt a suggestion which had been thrown out, of assimilating the law of England to that of Ireland; but whether the Hun. Gentlemen would proceed with the Bill after the determination of the Government he could not say. Mr. M. FOX was very much mistaken indeed if the Bill had been committed. Mr. NEWDEGATE said it was committed pro forma, when it was understood on both sides of the House that the clauses would be so altered as to make the law of Ireland similar to the law of Ene,lend.—(No, no.) Mr. S. CRAWFORD then rose to move that this Bill be read a second time this day three months. The provisions were highly unconstitutional, oppressive, anti u , just. There were two systems of government—one had recourse to just and humane laws, while the other pursued a policy of coercion. Now, ever since Ireland had been connected with this country, she had been governed by the latter system ; but the time had come when a change must be made in the government if the Legislature wished to secure the tranquillity of Ireland. Too long had injus tice and oppression been the lot of Ireland, and asking for such a Bill as this was nothing less than a delara ion that the laws of Ireland were unjust. The time, however, had gone by for governing Ireland by large armies and bodies of police, and holding this mea sure to be conceived in that spirit, he hoped it would be thrown out. Mr. FOX seconded the amendment, though he was not indisposed to entrust the powers of the Bill in the hands of Lord Clarendon; but the measure was not only unjust, but unconstitutional, and he was therefore bound to oppose it. Mr. ANSTEY also opposed it, on ae ground that the powers which it conferred upon the Government were both uncalled fur and unconstitutionel. He called upon the House to refuse everything in the shape of coercion till the Government had tried the influence of remedial measures. No case had been made out for this Bill, and he protested against its arbi trary and unjust powers being entrusted to any man. He considered this Bill most objectionable and uncon stitutional; and he objected to it because the present law was quite sufficient to meet all the exigencies of the case. He would never give his consent to the enact ment of laws which, like this, were unfit for the meridian of Great Britain. Sir GEORGE GREY reminded the House that considerable discussion had taken place already, on asking for leave to introduce this Bill, which, in the ordinary course of things, would have been had on the second reading. Believing that the Act which the Bill proposed to continue for a limited period had done infinite service in the prevention of outrage to life and property in Ireland, he would give it his support. Mr. REYNOLDS supported the amendment of the Honourable Member for Rochdale. This Bill, though containing only one clause, referred to and continued an Act which contained 23 clauses: The Bill was only fit to be applied to man in a savage and uncivilized state; and, believing that the people of Ireland were not in that state, he would strenuously oppose the re-enactment of the Crime and Outrages Act. He believed that Ireland was at present in as perfect a state of quietude as England or Scotland. Why, then, did the House not extend this Algerine Act to England or Scotland? " What was sauce for the goose was sauce for the gander." He contended that in passing this Bill the House were branding the people of Ireland with a bad name, which they were far from de serving. He would do all he could to strangle the Bill, because he considered it a want in outrage upon the people of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Why inflict such au Act, at all events, on Ireland for more than one year ? He could not conclude without thanking the Hon. Member for Rochdale (Mr. S. Craw ford) for the manly course he had taken on bilis occasion, and deeply regretted that that Hon. Member did not re present an Irish county or boroegh. THE NEW MEMBER FOR LA7vIBETH. The debate was here iaterrunted fur a few minutes by the ceremony of swearing in Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAM, the new Member for Lambeth. The Hon. Member was introduced to the House by Sir Joshua Walmsley and Mr. Home, and having taken the oaths, be advanced towards the Speaker, who shook hands with him. The Hon. Memeer then took a sea: on the MiniArill side of the House, on the bench immediately behind the mf-mbers of the Government, side by side w.th Mr. Hume. Mr. Williams is the first Member who has bean sworn in the new Chamber. Tee deb , ite was then resumed. Mr. HUME said he was prepared to r3sist the passing of the Bill to the last ; but as he understood au a;ranze: meet had been made with Irish Members not to off..r any further opposition, he would of course have to give way to necessity. The Hon. Member alluded to the de plorable condition of Ireland, which he said was a dis grace to this country, and urged the Government, for the sake of their own character, to introduce some measures f amelioration early next session. Mr. E. B. ROCHE denied that he had entered into any compromise with regard to the Bill, which he con sidared most obnoxious and injurious, and wholly un necessary. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ... 26 Against it ... 89 Majority The amendment was consequently lost. The Bill was then read a.second time. LANDLORD AND TENANT (No. 2) BILL. After a few observations from Mr. fIAMff,TOS, The order of the day for the adjourned debate on this Bill was discharged on the motion of Mr. REYNOLDS. THE CUSTOMS BILL. On the motion fir the third reading of this Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the insertion of the following clause:—" And whereas divers rules, orders, and regulations have from time to time been made by the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, in pursuance of the powers conferred upon them by certain Acts passed in various sessions of Parliament, some of which Acts have since been repealed; and doubts have arisen whether such rulee, orders, and regu lations are still of legal force and efficacy ; be it there fore enacted, that all rules, orders, and regulations already made or issued by or under the authority of the said Commissioners, under or in pursuance of any Act or Acts relating to the Customs, or to trade or naviga tion, although such Act or Acts may have been re pealed, shall be and centinue in full force and effect, so far as such rules, orders, and regulations are consis tent with the provisions of e laws in force relating to the Customs, or to trade or navigation, unless and until the same shall be revoked or.rescinded, and that all acts whatsoever done or to be done in pursuance of any such orders, rules, and regulations shall be valid and effec tual." Upon which Mr. HUME objected to the clause. The House divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it ... Majority ... The clause was then agreed to. On entering the gallery we found Mr. NE WDEGATE moving the following amend , ment:—" In page 2, line 35, atter the words A true account,' to insert the words,' of the quantities and r,al value.' " His object was to enable the Legislature of this country to obtain that accurate information which the L.gislatures of other countries possessed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected to the amendment, and hoped that it would not be pressed at present, as sufficient notice had not been given. After a few words from Mr. NE PirDEGATE, the amendment was withdrawn. The Bill was then read a third time and passed, FRIENDLY SOCIETIES BILL (SALARIES AND ... 50 .. 14 ... -36 EXPENSES). This Bill went through Cornmitiee pro forma. The Howe then adjourned at Half past Fuur until Half-put Six. The House resumed at FlLtf-past Six o'clock. YETI no NS. Petitions were presented by Mr. Anstey, from Richard S. Dunn, an officer of the Customs, praying inquiry into his case ; by Mr. L uc k e , f rom places iu Devonshire, against the postal arrangements; and by Mr. Brotherton, from Manchester, Salford, Heywood, and Randall, in favour of international mediation. NOTICE OF MOTION. Mr. REYNOLDS gave notice that he would move the Crime and Outrage (Ireland) Bill be committed that day three months, when it was brought on. ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SUN, ... 32 ... 25 After a few words from Colonel DUNNE, In reply to Mr. WALPOLE, Lurd J. RUSSELL said that he should state when the time came what, in his opinion, the salary of the present Lord Chief Justice should be. Parliament, however, would take it.; own course in the matter. FRIEI`.TDLY SOCIETIES BILL. The Howe then went into Committee on this Bill. On clause 38, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved :hat the blank be tilled up with 1001. Mr. J. A. S AITH said he thought the sum fixed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to low a sum. Ile thought it should be fixed at 2001. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said these societies were for the benefit of the lower class of people, and 1001. was as large a sum as a person of that class would insure his life for. Mr. AGLIONBY supported the proposition for 2001. Mr. HUME considered that fixing it at 100/. was a great concession. The public was already much taxed fur the advantage of these societies. Mr. J. A. SMITH said not one of these societies had put the public to one shilling of expense, but they con• tributed to the revenue by paving stamps o❑ their po!icies. The Provident Clerks' Association, with which tie was connected, had paid in this way 1,700/. for stamp!. Mr. P. SCItOPE observed that if they did agree to 200/. it ought to be limited to those societies that were certified under the Friendly Societies Act. Mr. J. A. S MIT II said he was willing to accede to that. After some discussion, in the conrse of which Tile CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he allowed existing insurances to remain as tney were, but that the Act would apply to future insurances. The clause was agreed to, the blank being filled up with 1001. On clause 39. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked whether it was in tended to subject friendly societies to all the clauses and provisions of the Acts relating to savings banks, and whether Government would guarantee the continu ance of the rate of interest proposed to be given under this Bill-31. 04. 101. p.r cent.? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that it was not intended to subject the moneys invested on behalf of friendly societies to the regula'ions of the savings banks Acts. With regard to the Honourable atrouet's second question, he begged to state that there was a certain number of friendly societies to which by law an interest at the rate of 4/. Ils. was insured, and there were other societies to which an interest of 31. ins. was insure,l. In these cases the rates of interest which had been guaranteed would be conti nued; but it was proposed in future cases to give a re duced amount of interest. ' The result of the arrange ments he had mentioned was a considerable annual loss to the country, the loss last year upon'the interest paid - - to friendly societies having been "20,7001. He thought it ex•remely desirable that the rate fixed to be hereatter paid should be permanent, and he had therefore proposed a rate of interest a little below that which he might otherwise have been disposed to suggest. He had pro posed a rate of 3/. Os. 103. per cent, as a sum upon which the parties, as far as he could give any assurance, might permanently calculate. The clause was then agreed to, as was also clause 40. On clause 41, which provides that, on the death of a member of any friendly society entitled to a sum not ex ceeding 501., the trustees, if ❑o will has 'yen left by such deccasei member, may pay the amount according to the rules of t'e said society, &c., Mr. HENLEY objected to the clause, on the ground that it was inconsistent with the second clause, and he suggested the omission of the words, " according to the rules of the said society." Mr. SPOONER obser►ed, that in some societies the member had by the rules the power of having the sum paid to his widow; if these words were struck out. he would not have that which was perhaps his reason for belonging to that society. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought it would be advisable to omit the words. It did not appear desirable that there should be various systems of rules prevailing; it would be better that there should be one rule, the rule of law as to the distribution of an intestate's effects, and, if a person wished his property otherwise distri buted, he could make a will. Lord DUDLEY STUART apprehended that it was not the habit of the class of persons in question to make a will. After some conversation upon the point, the Com mittee divided. when there appeared— Fur striking out the words ... Against it Majority ... The clause, amended accordingly, was agreed to, as also was clause 42. On clause 43, prohibiting assurances from being here after granted by these societies, payable on the member's death to a nominee, or to any oilier person than the ex.eutors, administrators, or assigns of thamPfnher, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob- served that it was never contemphtvd that there was to be such a nominee system as had grown up, enabling people to evade to such an extent the stamp and probate and legacy duty, and, if so minded, to cheat their cre• ditors. He believed there was a person of high rank in this country whose life was insured for no less than 5,000/. in this way. The clause was agreed to with amendments; the re maining clauses, as amended, were also agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be reported. The amendments of the Lords to the Elections (Ire land) Bill wer. con,idered. The Lax Fund Duties (Ireland) Bill went through Committee. R-port this day. TRANSFER OF IMPROVEMENT LOANS (IRE LAND) BILL. Tho CHANCELLOR of . the EXCHEQUER moved he second reading. Mr. ARK WRIGHT wished some explanation to be given of the obj, ct of the Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that in the Act passed this session for the purposes of authorising advances to be made for the improvement of lard in Ireland, there wa,i one word which, in the opinion of the law officers, would have the elf-!et of prtventing the commissioners of public works abowing proprietors who had obtained advances for the improvement of one portion of their estates to tranbfar the advances to the improvement of another portion of their estates. After a few words from Major ELACKALL and Mr. MULLINGS, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow (this day) at twelve o'clock. LOUGH CORRIB IMPROVEMENT COMPANY COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL. The order of the day for the second reading of this Bill having ben read. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished some explanation of the measure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that a company, called the Lough Currib Company, had executed certain works in Ireland, but had been unable to complete them. A few years ago a Bill was passed, enabling the Board of Works to undertake certain works in Ireland, among which was the opening of the Lough Corrib, and the carrying out More effectually whet the company had professed to do. The company had exe cuted a certain part of the work near the town of Gal way, and by excavating a sand-bank had improved the river. The Board of Works proposed to complete the undertaking, and the compensation in this Bill of 5,0001. wai for what the company had done. Mr. HUME azked what the value of the works would be. if completed? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said they would improve the channel of the river, and facilitate the drainage of the neighbouring lands. Mr. HUME ask.d to whom those lands belnnqed? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re plied that they belonged to parties on the banks of the lough who were taxed fur the repayment of the ad vances. Mr. ANSTEY hoped the Government would agree to the recommendation in the report, and make a distinet board of fisheries commissioners. Mr. M J. O'CONNELL hoped the Chanc'ellor of the Exchequer. would receive with caution any statements of the Lough Corrib Company. Mr. AGLIONBY said a few words on behalf of the company. The present Bill was a tardy act of justice to a company which had spent large sums in improving Ireland, and the compensation provided in it would not exceed 2s. in the pound on the amount expended in Ireland. Mr. A RKW RIGHT felt so strong an objection to the introduction of a Bill of this kind at a period of the ses sion when the usual forms could not be observed, that he begged to move that the Bill be read a second time that day three months. The House divided, when there appeared — For the motion ••• • • ••• 10 Against it ... •-• "• 63 Majority •-• *** —53 Mr. HUME protested against the Chancellor of the Exchequer thus laying out money at the end of the ses sion as fast as he got it in. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow (this day) at twelve o'clock. MEDICAL CHARITIES (IRELAND) BILL. The order of the day for considering the amendments to the Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill was then pro ceeded with. Some clauses and amendments were agreed to, and added to the Bill. Mr. CLEMENTS, pursuant to notice, moved to sub stitute the following clause for clause 8 in the Bill: " And be it enacted, that the guardians of each union in Ireland shall, when so required by the said Commis sioners of Health, with all re asonable dispatch, divide such union into so many dispensary districts, having regard to the extent and population of such dis tricts as may to them appear necessary; and in case the said Commissioves of Health shall approve of the districts so formed by the said guardians, they shall issue an order under their seal, declaring the same; and in case they shall not ap prove of the districts so formed by the said guar dians, the said commissioners may, and they are hereby empowered to issue an order under their sell declaring the districts which to them may appear neces sary; and it shall be lawful for the said commissioners, and they arc hereby empowered, when they nay see oc claim, from time to time to alter such districts by any order under their seal: provid d always, that in no case shall al electoral division formed under the Act for the more effectual relief of the destitute poor be divided; and from and after a day to be named in any such order, the cost of all medical relief afforded within eech such dispensary district to which such order shall relate, together with all the salaries and charges incidental to the same, shall be charged o n the poor rates of the electoral division or divisio ns comprised therein, according to the net annual value of each e f such e division, under the poor-law valuation of eac h such i t e ime e being; eh e rd e and r th ethe number aaid ae dcommissionersulii ii in ets s f t o h ie r a n c l d e o e f r c 1 theare officers to be appointed for the ser vice dis pensaryorder t ldistric t s , as here the committee a management of such the number district, ef p shall ree e a likew i se whe h d a l l cl b e e r e m i n e el t h h e e r s e a e i df LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. inafter is provided; and the stml commissionc.ri may, and they are hereby empowered. when they. may see occasion, from time to time to regulAte the nmouet of salaries or allowances pityab;e to such officers respectively, and the time acd modo of payment thereof." Sir W. SOMERVILLE said he Mt himself under some embarrassment with re-pect to the clause proposed; for although he did not object to the principle of the clause, 1.; proposed to displace one which had the ap proval a his Hon. and Learned Fliond the Member for the University of Dahlia (Mr. Napier). The effect of the clause would be to give inert ased power to the local boards. He should not object to the clause if he might not he thought, perhaps, guilty of a breach of faith to his Hon. and Learned Friend the Member for the Uni versity of Dublin, by whom clause 8 had been supported, and who was not then present. Colonel DUNNE supported the clause proposed to be substituted for clause 8, which he thought a much better one than that. After a few words from Sir D. NORREYS, It was agreed to strike out clause 8, and substitute Mr. Clement's clause instead. Sir W. SO XIERVILLE said he hoped the Hon. Member would draw up a clause instead of clause 13, in accordance with that one which he had just intro duced. He (Sir W. Somerville) had undertaken to draw up a clause in accordance with clause 8, but he could not now promis3 to du so. Several clauses end amendments were brought up, considi red, and agreed to; and the Bill wls ordered to be read a third time at twelve o'clock to-morrow (this day). AUG UST 9, 1850. EMIGRATION TO AIUTRALIA. Mr. John Lunn, a printer, who emigrated from Lincolnshire in September lest, and arrived at Ado laide, South Australia, on the 12th January, gives: a less prosperous account of the prospects for emi grants who are not mechanics or farm labourers, than previous writers. In a letter dated a month after his arrival, he says, speaking of- the voyage (in the ship Doug " Nearly all the passengers were attacked with cholera•and diarrhea and 26 died, one of whom was brother to Mr. Ad. cock, printer, of Melton Mowbray ; his son also was near dying, but has just recovered. After landing, I called upon Mr. Edw. Woodroffe and Miss Bigg, formerly of Stamford, and at Mr. W.'s house I saw the Stamford Mercury." Speaking of the state of Adelaide, he says " The place is inundated with emigrants. Some of them are persona who held reepectah!e situations in En gland, such as head clerks in lawyers' offices: here they get only 305. a week, and under-clerks 14s. to 18s. a week, and 'find' themselves. There are gentlemen's sons here who ore actually driven to become bullock-drivers : there are men in the Bosh working on farms for Os. and Bs. per week with rations : one of my fellow voyagers had a situation offered him to tike the management of a large farm, and ho stared hen the master told him that he would give hiin 26/. and his rations. The only parties wanted here are car penters, bricklayers, masons, and joiners, but the ice ill all be pulled down in their wages, fur the place 'warms with. Germans, who work Tor 2s. 6d. per day. and ' find' them selves. Ships are s , ill arriving from England and Germany ; and when I tell you that the place (I mean the city of Ade laide) is very much like Market Deeping, you may guess its extent. There is only one street at present, with straggling little wooden houses at the ends of the proposed new streets: they are as yet only staked oat. The city will be one mile square, or four miles round; and a Bill has just passed the Government House here to make a rail road from the city to the port-the cost is estimated to be 30,000/. Hats made of cabbage tree and straw are principally worn here, and clothes are worth little or nothing. I have seen good black dress coats and sur touts sold for 6s. and 7s. each at the auc ion marts: there are three or four of these auctions every night. White blouses are 19. 63. each, cotton socks 31 per pair; blue and pink figured shirts 2s. to 3s. 3d. each; a dozen black hats sold for ls. 93. each; therefore it is a folly fur any one t • lay out his capital in clothes. Boots and shoes are about the same price as in England. Peaches for pies aro 3d. and 41. per dozen. grapes 4d. per lb. (beautiful), apples and pears I id. each; plums, ld. each; tobacco 4s. per Ih; eggs 13. each; beef end mutton 3d. per lb., prime joints; sheep's pluck 3d.; calves' pluck 6d.; onions 3,1. per lb., and potatoes Os. per. cw%; but they are double that price in November. A little wood cottage with only two rooms on the ground floor and no fire-grate, 9s, per week. There are no bedsteads here; all use some with straw mattrasses. The sofas cost 1/. each: they are made of cedar wood. lam boarded and lodged fir 12s. per week, and was lucky enough to get work the first week I got here, and at Vie first place I inquired at; but there are upwards of a score printers in the bush at bullock-driving, and hard work it is to manage sometimes 6,8, 10, to 16 bullocks in one day, loaded with copper ore from the Burrs Barra Mines. I could show you drapers' assistants, clerks, and others who have not been brought up to a mechanical trade, breaking stones on the road. but they get 245. to 30s. per week at it ; it is, however, no joke under a South Australian heat, particularly when we have a north wind : it is just like standing before the mouth of an oven. Farm labourers are run down by the Germans, for both men and women reap the corn. Our business (printing) is pretty good: me get 9d. per 1,000 for all the smaller types up to plea, fur reprint copy as well as manuscript; but as we work only eight hours a day, we cannot get more than 21. 2s. a week; sometimes we have five or six over hours, at 93. per hour." Mr. Lunn describes the natives of Port Adelaide as the ugliest specimen of humanity he has ever seen, their heads resembling the monster heads through which the water spouts we carried to run the water from the leads of our churches.-Stamford Mercury. GARDENING OPERATIONS FOit THE WEEK. Cuttings of roses should be taken immediately and planted in a close cold frame, in a north aspect, for three weeks or a month, until they are cicatrised at the base ; they should then be taken carefully up, potted in thumb pots, and plunged in a close warm frame, with a gentle bottom heat. So treated, they will make nice plants in a very short time, and if kept under slight protection during winter, will fill their pots with roots, and be ready for planting out in April or May. Pink pipings, if put in at the time we recommended, will now be ready for transplant ing; and in doing this not a moment should be lost, as they halm need of all the rest of the season to estab lish themselves in such a manner as to prevent the frost injuring them. If the situations ultimately intended for them are vacant, they should be planted in them at once, as they thereby flower much finer ; but if these places are occupied for the present by something else, the young pinks should be planted four inches apart, on reserve beds in an open iitua • tion, the soil of which should consist principally of light loam, to which has been added some charcoal dust or charred refuse; a little dung mixed with road drift and soot should be added. The rotten ma nure from an old mushroom bed answers very well for this purpose, as it encourages a mass of fibres, and produces a healthy but over-gross deve lopment of top. Some time ago we promised to remind our readers about making memoranda of the most suitable arrangement for 'half-hardy plants next season ; we are juet now doing so our selves, and we take this opportunity of redeeming our pledge. As an easy method of reducing the thing more completely to a system, a rough plan should be made of the arrangement of the beds, which should be numbered, and referred to an acc,mpanying list of the names of the plants with which it is designed to fill them next year, and the quantity required for each bed. By compiling a summary from this list, accurate information is at once ob tained of the quantity of plants which must be propa gated immediately by cuttings, and both by these and seeds in spring. By this simple means redundancy and deficiencies are avoided, disappointment is pre vented on the one hand, and waste of labour on the other. Whilst the half-hardy plants are in their greatest beauty, a tasteful eye will easily discover the weak and improvable points, and, by observing the more satisfactory parts, will readily perceive the most desirable future arrangement. Plant out the second crop of pink pipings, taking care to examine the beds rather late in the evening ; worms may then be caught, and every pink grower knows how often they make great confusion among his stock by loosen ing the pipings, and very often drawing them together in heaps. Take care that dahlias have abundance of water, keeping the roots well mulched with rotten manure. Let the lateral shoots be sedulously a'- tended to, by tying them out. Encourage the weakest seedlings, for it very frequently happens that they are the best, and generally bloom the very last of the collection. Carnations and picotees are fast getting out of bloom ; proceed rapidly with layering; use leaden pegs to fasten the layers down ; these are preferable to fern or braken ones. Amongst stars that have come under our observation this season are Bunn's Lord Lewisham (S.B ), May's Ophelia, light purple picotee Robinson's Elizabeth, splendid heav-edged red ; Marris's Jeannette and Mrs. llema y ns, picotees. Whilst such flowers as these reward the pains-taking florist, every one who grows carna tions and picotees ought to emulate them, by care fully crossing, saving, and sowing the seed. Auriculas, polyanthuses, and pansies, must all have their share of attention, keeping them clean and free from insects ; the former is often pestered with green fly ; this may readily be removed with a soft brush— perhaps as easy and effectual a way as any. In places where the work is kept in a forward state, it may be presumed that by this time a sufficiency has been potted for forcing, and that all the new planta tions have been properly prepared and planted. As the fruit is all gathered, the old exhausted beds may be at once destroyed —preserving the younger, one or two year old beds, to afford the main supply next season.—Gardener's Chronicle. less the springs of popular resistance, or pos sesse3 less direction over opinion, if that be the agency he means, than the Earl of Glengall. What ever he thinks upon any subioct the people almost of necessity think the opposite. Strange excess of human ingratitude as it may be, we believe, if the Cahir estates were soli to-morrow, the event would be witnessed without any profound emotions of bereavement. Per sons might even perhaps regard the change of masters as resulting in a blessed riddance. His Lordship complained that the reporters did not give the speeches on Ireland—that is, his own speeches—at length. They have taken their revenge, and furnished their vindication, by complying with his wish in one in stance.—Cork Examiner. IVIPROVEMENT BILL. Sir G. GREY ;tated that he attached it great import ance to the Bill, becau 3 e he considered would effect a material improvement in the administration of justice ; but as there were some classes in it which he could not hope to have passed at the present moment . , he should postpone its consideration until the text session, when be intended to bring it forward in its present shape at an early pPried. Mr. HENLEY co ns id e red the course pursued by the Right Hon. Gentleman to be one at the same time pru dent and wise. It was a subject of the greatest impor tance, and required the fullest consideration. Mr. AGLIONBY concurred in the course pursued on this occasion also. The order was accordingly discharged. CHIEF JUSTICES' SALARIES BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL intim ated that the Chief Justices' Salaries Bill would also be abandoned. The whole sub ject in connexion with the report of the Committee on salaries would be considered by the Government during the recess. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that the House would sit in the new chamber to-morrow (this day). LANDLORD INTIMIDATION. LORD GLENGALL'S THREAT. Purchasers of encumbered estates have a new kind of obstacle thrown in their way. They are to be driven from their possessions by popular hostility. Such, at least, is the advice given under the shape of a predic tion by the Earl of Glen all. " Toe people of ire land," says t h at no bl eman ," would not recognise as proprietors speculators from Threadneedle-street, who bought property at a third of its value—they would regard them as confiscators, and treat them ac cordingly." This is very pretty language, indeed, for a Peer. What sort of treatment his Lordship would consider due to exact justice in the case, or what are the means he contemplates for car rying it into execution, he did not intimate; but these follow of necessity, and are beyond his control. The rights of property are secured by law, and for him who would violate them, the means can be bat of one character. We well remeinber the common ob3ervaion made with revect to agrarian outrage. English capital was sail to be prevented by it from flowing into Ire land. Here, however, is an intimation thrown out broader and clearer than any to which calumny ascribed the assassination of lardlords. Verily, the people of this country would be sunk to the lowest pitch of stupidity, if they could think of doing any act against those who come with th e one recommendation of supplanting the present i, the race of owners. Wh a t ! title acquired by honourable industry less sure], or supported by weaker moral sanctions, t ch han that fou n d e d on the sword ? Is capital an evil that w e it ? should rise up i n arms against Let them not be afraid. The l or dl y sneer at Threadneedle-street. meets with no ec h o here. For the information of persons living at a distance, it may be necessary to state that no man in Ireland commands A GENUINE BRITISH TAR. If we had not the best warranty for the following amusing circumstance, we should almost fear to find it placed among those apocryphal anecdotes which are only endurable beearter they are "characteristic." We can, however, vouch for its uerf•ct truth :—The reader is fa miliar with the story of " Mazena," and its adaptation te the stage of Mr. Batty% spendid theatre, Astley's. A few evenings since a sailor, evidently of the man of-war breed, paid a visit to the theatre and occupied a seat in the pit. He watched the course of the story with attention. Ile sympathised with the true love of the H'-:men and the " fayre young ladye;" he lamented the interruption it experienced, and could not at all per ceive the justice of the proceeding by which the Pala. tine doomed Mazappa to be lashed to the back of a wild horse of the desert. In deference, however, to the pre sence of a large audience, Jack for a lung time witnessed the whole proceeding with calmness, it not with patience. At length his indignation rose to a high and ungovernabl pitch. Seeing Mazappa, as he supposed, exhausted with his long gallop over the steppes, he bounded from the pit anti endeavoured to make his way over the orchestra, in order to put an end to such tyrannical treatment on the stage. He invoked his eyes and limbs to hear wit ness that he would not allow a gentleman to be so dealt with. He had not deserved it, and he (Jack) would Le —no matter what—if it should continue. The mu sicians in the orchestra remonstrated with the tar, and endeavoured to persuade him that the whole was a sham —a mere make pretence. That would not do for Jack; he had the use of his senses as well as other people, and he saw what was going on, and shiver his titneers if he'd &tend it at any price. The musicians, &.c., were, however, do many for the honest man•of war's•man. Unlike Mr. T. P. Cooke, who scatters a whole army of opponents single-handed, Jack suc• cumbed to the united orchestral force, not, however, without expressing a hearty wish that he had his mess mate. Big Tem, by his side—he'd soon let them feel whether a British sailor would sit quietly by and see such a thorough gentleman as ALzeppa ill-used. At length the blue jacket was induced to waive his interfer ence and silently await the issue. Great then was his deli ht to fi'id that justice was at length done to Ma zeppa. and his true love restored to him with all honours eno rejoicings. Ho would now have given a week's grog to have been allowed to jump on to the stage and congra tulate the worthy gentleman on his ultimate triumph; but as this was as much out of rule us his proposed vi el-urmis interfence, he contented himself with giving three cheers for the triumph of justice, and making the hest of his way home to recount the whole matter to his old friend Big Tom. We treed not say that the entire affair created the greatest amusement amongst a crowded, au:!itory; and it is very much to Mr. Betty's credit that he and his officers treated the poor fellow's unintentional interruption with kindness and cc n deration.— United Service Gazette. RACY TALE OF "A WAG 0' TIP WA'." At the Carlisle County Court last week, George Findley, a sharp little fellow, living in " The Fleet," Caliewgete, by profession a weever, was summoned by Mr. Itmnie, watchmaker and draper, for refuting to pay the balance due for a clock—price 30s. Plaintiff—l put the clock up in his house, when he was away at the harvest, and when he returned, he promised to pay me. Ile has paid me 16s. on ac count, but threatens to pay no more. JUDGE—What have you to say to that? Defend• ant—Och, I'll tell yet- honour all about it. JUDGE—Very well ; go on. Defendant—He came to my house when I was away at the harvest, and put up a worthless old " wag th' wa'" against my wifa's consent.—(Laughter.) JUDGE — How could he do that? Defendant— Oa, but he did, yer honour; he put her up—he forc , d her up.-o.tenewed laughter.) JUDGE—Have you paid him M. on account ? De fendant—Jist stop a bit, and tell you all about it. He says to my wife, Jist let her stop up till he comes home, and then we'll see about her." Well, yer Honour, I came home, and there she was sticking against the wall.—(Laughter.) My wife told me all about it; and he came down the next week. I says to him " I won't have her—l won't have her ! " " Why won't ye have her ?" says he. " Because," says I, " she sometimes goes too f a st, end sometimes too slow."—(Laughter.) And then, yer Honour, she lost a stroke ?—(Laughter.) JUDGE Then, did you return her? Defendant— Turn her!--k . Roars of laughter, in which the judge joined heartily.) JUDGE—Did you return the clock to him? De fendant—Och, jilt stop a bit, and I'll tell you all it.—(Lu.ughter.) "Oh, but," says he, "if she doe,n't suit you, I'll take her down again and put up a fine cased clock." Och, he did, yer Honour.— (Laughter.) So I paid on till my neighbours told me he was only saying that as an excuse, and that if I paid him any more I would never get another clock. " Then, says I, "devil another farthing I'll pay him till I get another clock."—(Laughter.) Well, yer Honour, be comes dawn and t. says, " Why won ' t you pay ?" " Pay says I, " roi going to pay no inure till I get a better clock." "T' wiS ye," says 17e—flourishing about my floor (for he was drunk at the time)—" If you don't pay, I'll sum mons you up." " Summons away !" says I, " for I'll never pay another farthing of the -- old wag o' th' wa'."—(Roars of laughter.) JUDGE—WeII, what became of her ? Defendant— Och, she's yonder sticking yet. (Renewed laughter.) But I'd have served him right if I'd done as Will Fitts did. JUDGE - How did he do ? Defendant When Will got his, yer Honour, he put her in the "stuff shop" for five shillings—(Liugbter)—so "my friend" there (plaintiff) was glad to release her, or he would have lust altogether.— (Renewed laughter.) Plaintiff attempted to speak here, but Defendant burst upon him with—" You are as big a rogue as ever put a hat on a head."—(Roars of laughter.) The JUDGE decided that if parties would go and traffic with women in this s ,rt of way in the absence of their husbands they should have payment but in very small sums.—Defendant to pay 6d. a week.— Carlisle Patriot. LATE ORANGE RIOT AT LIVER- POOL. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.—The inquest on the body of John Sangster, who died from the effects of gun-shot wounds received in an Orange affray in Chadwick•etreet, on the 13th July, was concluded to-day, when a verdict of manslaughter was returned against Wright, who fired the shot causing the death. The jury accompanied the verdict by the following presentment to the Coroner:— " August 8, 1850. " We, the undersigned jurors on the inquest held on the body of John Sangster, the younger, who was killed by a gunshot wound, in a riot iu Chadwick-street, on the 13th July last, beg to record our opinion that the raid riot appears to us to have had its origin in a cert Orange procession which took place the day before, and we would urge upon you the necessity of the local au thorities causing measures to be taken for she suppres sion of all processions of whatever denomination in Li verpool, fur the future. " On behalf of the jury, " W. PEARSON, Foreman." After the above presentment had been made, Mr. Dowling, chief of police, said the subject of party processions had frequently been under c3nsideration by the magistrates, who had issued orders to have them suppressed as far as practicable. He had acted on these callers as tar as it was in his power to do; but in the present state of the law they had not power to prevent altogether processions of a [arty or political nature. An endeavour had been made to introduce a clause into ono of the local Bills, giving the authorities this power, bat the Government opposed its insertion, and the clause had to be withdrawn. These processions were always attended with the worst consequences; the passions O• both parties were excited; and during these processions rioting usually took place. The Irish population of Liverpool was larger than that of any town in Ireland, with the exception of three; and ho did not see why the Party Procession Act could not be made applicable to Liverpool. He mentioned these circumstances to show that the subject had not esbaped the attention of the magistrates, who were most anxious to prevent all pro cessions, whether of one party or the other, but who were unable to do so in the present state of the law. DEATII FROM— O nSaturday last an I inquest was held at the Railway Tavern, in Wolverhampton, on the body o f Th omas Bartholomew, a young man about 18 years of age, who had been killed in a fight with a fellow workman, na me d J ames Smith. A quarrel having arisen between them', it was resolved to s e ttle the dispute by a fight. About seven o'clock in the evening they commenced fighting on Horsley-fields - bridge. A few rounds only had been fought, when Smith hit his opponent a severe blow on the left side. Bartholomew immediately became senseless, and expired on the ground in the course of ten minutes, be fore medical aid could be obtained. The fight aqmared not to have been altogether fair, as Smith was represented to 'lave struck the deceased on the back after he had knocked him down. Yates, Smith's second, was represented to have struck the deceased's bother twice while the latter was endea vouring to prevent the parties from righting. Mr. Quinton, surgeon, having stated that death was occasioned by a rup ture of the stomach and one of the vessels of the spleen, which might have been occasioned by a blow from a man's fist, the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against James Smith and Wm. Yates, who were forthwith committed for trial at the next assizes. FRENCH PICTURE LIANGINGS,—The mode adopted by the French for hanging pictures possesses some advantages over our own in its simplicity and utility. A screw having a fl:ed ring in a line with it, is fastened to the back of the frame; this is hooked on to the hold.fait in the wall, thus oc casioning the frame to project forward at the upper part, and giving an advantageous position to the picture without any unsightly rod or nail appearing. —Art-Journal, -12 SETS.

On the motion for the suiond reading of this Bill, Sir EL WILLOUGHBY said that wai a measure of considerable importance, in which the country at large was concerned, and on which Hon. Members not then present would wish to address the House. It was not a proper time of the . session to pr ocee d w ith i t , nor w as that an hour at which they could fairly discuss a subject of such great weight. In tact, before they could legis late safely upon that mater they should submit the whole question to some inq airy or o th er; an d n e there fore put it to the night non. Baronet the Chaucellor of the Exchequer whether it would not be more advisable to postpone it until the next sh , ssion. However, if his suggestion was not acted on, he was ready to go on with the discussion then. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was with great regret that he felt obliged to come to the same conclusion as the Hon. Baronet. Ile had been most anxious to obtain a discussion en that important measure during the present session; hut as that s.emeS not likely to be had, and it was of the greatest conse quence that the measure should have the fullest delibe ration, he felt he was doing the best he could in comply ing with the Hon. Member's request. and postponing the Bill till ❑ext session.—(lleur, bear.) Mr. HUME said tba; was a measure of very great importance, and it would be impossible to reconcile all the conflating opinions which existed on the subject in a hasty and brief discussion. He, therefore, approved of the postponement of the Lill to ❑ext session. He would have the resoluticns which had been come to on that subject printed at once, so that tho House and the public might be aware of the full statement cf the case. Mr. HINDLEY trusted no alarm would be created amongst the depositors in savings backs; and that if trustees did not do their duty, the Government would act as they had done in the case of the eutre-street Savings Bank. Mr. S. CRAWFORD—Such a measure should be brought forward as would give ample security to the de positors in those banks. Mr. P. SCROPE said they were to have had a Bill brought in on that subject in the early part of the session; they were then at its close, and nothing had been done. Ile wondered a run had not taken place on the savings banks before now. The sooner they put these useitil institutions on the best footing possible the better for the improvement of the condition of the great masses of the industrious classesia this empire.. Mr. REYNOLDS regretted the determination of Government to withdraw the Bill, and expressed a hope that when again iotroduced next year it who'd contain the principle of responsibility in the state for the due payment of all deposits in savings banks. The Bill was then ordered to be read a second time that day three months. The Copyright of Designs Act Amendment Bill was committed pt o form. The Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) (No. 2) Bill was ordered to be committed that day three mouths. The Union of Liberties with Counties Bill was passed through Committee. The General Board of Health (No. 3) Bill was passed through Committee. INSPECTION OF COAL MINES. Tho Flo - t;;;;;;nlin - tn - 6 - An - rvi - ttee on this Bill. _ In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, Sir G. GREY said that the Bill would not place any limit upon the actual number of inspectors, but Parlia ment would have a check in voting the salaries. The several clauses having been agreed to, the Bill was reported with amendments to the House, which then adjourned at H Teq o'clock. THE RIVER PLATE.

The good confession which the scotch bishops recently w i tn essed to the Catholic doe triue, which gives grounds to hope for God's blessings on any endeavour to approach nearer to the more regular and solemn mode of its alininis,ration. 2 The bishop's judg. ment in the Wagstaffe case. urging closer conformity to the rubrics. 3.
