should set aside a disposition made for evading the duty, but that the court should find that the disposition had been made fraudulently, and should then set it aside. If, therefore, a man in articulo mortis should part with his property, that would not be, per se, a fraud: He would repeat that, by the words of the clause as they stood, a disposition did not become void because it had been made to prevent the duty from attaching upon the property. Sir W. JOLLIFFE said if the clause passed as it stood, it would give rise to an amount of oppression and iniquity such as had not been practised in this country for con- Mules. By the latter part of the clause, oral evidence might be brought to establish fraud ; and this would be a great temptation to persons where there were family differences. Mr. SPOONER wished to know, after the last answer of the Solicitor-General, what additional circumstances would constitute the fraud. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he should be ex tremely happy to answer this, if his mind were sufficiently fraud might to decide what varied descript ions of might exist. Wherever males animus deceit was introduced into the matter, wherever the thing was made to bear one aspect in reality having. another ; wherever onetlunf.f done, and another pretended ; where ver a ch aracter de ceit or falsehood was thrown over a transaction, that made it fraud. But the simple act of parting with property, though done in contemplation of death, would not, in his opinion, constitute fraud. Mr. WALPOLE said that by the present bill the Attor ney-General would have to file his bill, or bring his action for the amount of duty , on the g round of fraud, which he could never ascertain until there had been a previous pro ceeding at law or equity to decide it. In those proceed. ings, whatever the result, the party must pay their own costs ; the crown paid no costs. (Hear, hear.) Under the Legacy Duty Act, in 99 cases out of 100, the party knew that he was liable to the duty ; but under this act the Attorney-General could not know, when commencing his suit, whether the party was liable or not, as this depended on the question of fraud. (Hear, hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that as reference had been made more than once to the crown paying no costs, he would take that opportunity of stating that he had re ceived authority from the Government to introduce a bill for the purpose of rectifying that very serious evil. (Hear, hear.) The bill would shortly be laid before the house, and he hoped it would speedily pass both branches of the legislature. (Hear, hear.) The committee then divided : For the amendment 63 Against it The clause was then agreed to, as was clause 8. On clause 9. Mr. PHILIPPS proposed that in the cose of the succes sion of brothers and sisters, the duty should be two per cent. instead of three, as proposed by the bill ; and he should be prepared to make the same reduction in the case of personal property. There were cases in which brothers and sisters would have to pay the duty four times in five years, which at three per cent, would amount to a. very large sum. If the bill passed in its present shape, he thought that, to use the phrase in obituary notices " much and deeply regretted," it might be fairly added, " except by the Chancellor of the Exchequer." (Laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question raised by the hon. gentleman was one of extreme importance. The hon. gentleman had spoken of a succes sion of sisters four times in the course of five years. Now, in that case, the party succeeding to the life interest would pay no duty at all, because it was provided in the case of life interests that twelve months must elapse before any claim for duty could accrue. They were by this dealing only with the succession to real property and settled personalty, and it would be extremely incongruous and inconsistent to lighten the per centage on the succession of brothers and sisters to such property and to leave it unmitigated in the case of personal property. With regard even to the re venue the question was not unimportant, for whereas the produce of the direct succession at 1 per cent, produced only 238,000/. in 1852, the direct succession of brothers and sisters at 3 per cent. produced 471,0001. He thought that the scale, on the whole, was not unjust, and that the maintenance of its general structure was important as a matter of policy. He believed that if any alteration of the scale were considered desirable, the house would be dis posed to deal, first of all, with the 10 per cent. duty. He was not himself opposed to the 10 per cent. duty ; he thought the present 10 per cent, arrangement was a wise arrangement, and that it was justified by the consideration that the duty fell on parties who had no expectation of the succession, though that was not the case always. They had heard a great deal of late of the advantage of direct taxation—not from the hon. gentleman nor from him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer)—but there were immense difficulties in the way of its being carried out, and the stringency of the machinery required to collect it would be excessive. (Hear, hear.) He thought there would be great danger, therefore, in doubting the direct taxation which existed, and the existence of the high rate at one end of the scale would be an obstacle to the raising of the rate at the lower end in times of difficulty, should the Chancellor of the Exchequer be disposed to look to that source of taxation as a means of raising the revenue. He thought the maintenance of the present consanguinity scale was important ; for if they reduced the 10 per cent. to 6, they would, without altering the duty payable in the case of the succession of brothers and sisters, have to raise the lower duty from Ito2i or 3 per cent. (Hear, hear.) 11r. BARROW said that notwithstanding what the right hon. gentleman had said, there might be cases in which sisters would have to pay the duty four times in the course of five years. He believed the tax would fall most heavily on the middle class, because there were more numerous cases of three or four sisters living together in that class than in any other, and on the death of each the tax would fall on the others. With regard to the question of direct taxation, it was only quite recently that one of the representatives of the Manchester school told him that when this question of direct taxation became more venti lated, it would be better understood at the end of 1860 than it was now. Mr. MULLINGS said the amendment would abstract only one-ninth of the entire estimated produce of the tax. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that even one-tenth of 3,500.000/. was 350,0001. After a few words from Sir W. JoLLIFiE, The amendment was withdrawn. Mr. WALPOLE had understood the right hon. gentle man to intend that, under this bill, as under the Legacy Duty Act, a wife should pay no duty ; but, whatever might be the effect of this clause he thought that under clause 17, as it was worded, a wife would have to pay ten per cent. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did intend to exempt the wife, as she was exempted under the Legacy Duty Act, and would bear in mind the right hon. gentleman's observations, when clause 17 was before the committee. After a few words from Mr. HENLEY, the clause was agreed to. On clause 10, which was a "provision as to married per sons chargeable with the succession or legacy duty," Mr. COBBETT thought this provision ought to include step-children as well as sons-in-law. If a son-in-law suc ceeded to a legacy on the death of his wife's father, he would pay no more than a lineal descendant. A step-son stood in a very similar relationship to` a son-in-law, and and should, he thought, pay only the same duty. The CHANCELLOR of the 'EXCHEQUER felt it im possible to accede to the hon. gentleman's suggestion. Though he thought the policy of the consanguinity scale sound, yet he admitted that there were many eases in which its application appeared severe and invidious, and some in which it amounted to cruelty. He was by no means sure that the hon. gentleman had mentioned the strongest case in stating that of a step-child. What was a step-child ? An adopted child—very little more. H e was not at all certain that the case of natural children was not stronger. (Hear, hear.) Again, there was the case of a wife's sister. The idea of the law was, that a brother-in law and sister-in-law were brother and sister in feeling ; and that was not a mere fiction of law, but was often actually realised in tho relations of life. Mr. HADFIELD said that in Scotand natural children paid the same legacy duty as legitimate children. The effect of the law in this country was to make the innocent suffer for the guilty. (Hear, hear.) H e th oug ht th a t i n cases in which the parents of an illegitimate child mar ried after the birth, it was hard that there should be a difference of 9 per cent. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE thought the raising of this question showed the wisdom of the right hon. gentleman's adhering to his own scale. (Hoar, hear.) In point of fact, however, there was no country except England where the claims of natural and adopted children were not fully re cognised. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HADFIELD said he should move as an amendment that children born without marriage, whose parents mar ried subsequently, should pay a duty of only ono per cent. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if the deprivation of benefit were punishment, he must admit that the innocent would be punished for the guilty; but he would like to know whether the whole constitution of society did not teem with such cases. (Hear, hear.) The amendment involved the whole of the law with regard to legitimacy. If the hon. gentleman thought it would be an improvement in the law of marriage to assimilate it to that of Scotland, let that serious question be considered separately ; or if he thought that the status of illegitimate children ought to be altered, that question must be con sidered with reference to the entire law of inheritance. It would clearly bo beginning at the wrong end to make this petty and partial change without considering tho import ant principle which it involved in all its breadth of appli cation. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. On clause 11, in rely to a question from Mr. HENLEY, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the question of leases for lives, that is, bona fide leases made for lives in portions of the country whero that mode of letting was adopted preferably to the ordinary mode of letting by years, was under the consideration of the Government, and he hoped that all doubt with regard to the operation of the tax in cases in which a father and son granted a lease jointly would be removed. Mr. WALPOLE wished to put the case of a person who derived 10,0001. in the funds from his father, and who married and settled that property on his wife or children. The question was whether, after such a disposition, after the death of his wife, and in default of children, the party would not have to pay a second duty on again taking possession? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that on becoming repossessed of the property which he had settled the party would not have to pay an additional duty. The only duty which he could ever have to pay was that which would have been payable had no settlement been made at the time of his marriage. After a lengthened technical conversation between va rious learned members, certain alterations in the section were accepted by the Solicitor-General, and The clause was agreed to. Clause 12 was agreed to without discussion. On clause 13, some discussion took place; but it also was agreed to without alteration. Clauses 14 and 15 were agreed to with some verbal amendments. Clause 16 was postponed. Clause 17 which treats some discussion ; but t of exemptions, was passed after promised carefully to r the Chancellor of the Exchequer to its amendment on thee() t'usider its language with a view On clause 18, Leasehoaingingup of the report. Estates, not to be charged with legacy duty as personal estat Mr. W. MICHELL coomn v e li s in ei e l d el lhat it was an injustice to charge probate duty The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the as it was hon. gentleman would not eopposeu theof clause, really eared relief to a des be app to be much interested. Property in which casesuuucete g i n t e rests, on the The clause was then agreed to. in i a t O n clause 19, " Duties to be paid on the of entitled in Possession , but determination thereof," stasso u r di biei coming Mr. WALPOL E said that this clause would be found so o ppressive that it could not a nd ou g ht not to b e carried, i n to effect. He would admit that there was nothing un. reaso nable in lacing the same duty on real and personal ' p props y ; but ho believed o that the clause would, Lora rtf trusts in this county great extent, destroy that system The present' law whuth bad boost bud go advultag two. was that the duty on successions should become payable when the party became entitled in possession. But the clause went to provide that where there was any other charge, which left him not in the entire possession of the property, an additional duty was to be paid, on the deter mination of the prior charge and when the benefit fellinto possession. It would, in fact, be a mortgage to the. G overnment of all the real and personal estate in the kingdom, perpetually to be paid off and perpetually to be renewed. The effect on the system of trusts, that persons who were trustees of large landed property, with charges, comprising life annuities to A and B, and remainders in tail, and charges for young children and old servants, and who might be at the same time trustees f or se ttl e d personal innumerable property, with charges upon it, which they had to carve out—if this bill passed, would be that they would have to account to the Government every time a charge fell in and pay the duty to the officers of in land revenue, or employ solicitors to do so. If they did the first, where the p ro p er t y was small, it would be so galling that they would throw up their trusts ; and, if solicitors were employed, the expense would be very great. He . (Mr. Walpol e ) was a t rus t ee i n many cases , an d h e deliberately said- that, if the bill passed into a law as it stood, nothing would induce him to accept a trust again, except for the purpose of conferring as much benefit as he could on those he regarded, at his personal risk. [The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER : How would a trustee be damnified more than in his present position under the legacy duty 11 That was a common mistake. An execu tor was the sole accounting party ; he knew the property, and nothing more was required of him but to give a full account. • But how would it be, when a trustee had to deal with a succession tax, as applicable to tenants for life, tenants in tail, and other charges. The trustee must account for the property; and either you must call on the person succeeding to give an account, or impose penalties so stringent as to compel the trustee to do so. You would be prying into persons' affairs merely because you thought they ought to give an account, or be driven to enforce pen- , alties, by suits brought by the Attorney-General. There was therefore a great difference between a trustee and exe ' cuter. This was so serious and oppressive an enactment that it was certain that man after man would throw up his trust, for they never would undergo all the liabilities con sequent on being crown debtors, and it would be found that the tax must be repealed, or it would be necessary to do what he (Mr. Walpole) wished had been done—simply make real property liable to a succession duty, as personal, property was to a legacy duty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his right hon. friend had spoken on this subject with the can dour, fairness, and plainness with which he spoke on all subjects, but still he must confess that his right hon. friend had left him rather in the dark as to what course he wished him to pursue. His right hon. friend had made some important admissions. He was far from say ing that the extension of the succession tax to settled pro perty was an act of " robbery . "—(hear, hear)—or " plunder "—(hear, hear)-=a declaration which was made amidst vociferous cheering from the other side of the house last night, when the whole act was declared to be one of " robbery "—(hear, hear)—and that assertion was sup ported by at least a section of the other side of the house vehemently and boisterously. (Hear, hear.) His right hon. friend was not of that opinion, but said that if there was to be a legacy duty, there was no reason why it should not be extended to land and settled property. His right hon. friend did not say he was prepared to abandon the two millions now derived from the legacy duty ; he did not glance at such a course, but admitted the fairness of the principle of the extension of the tax. His right hon. friend, however, had objected to the form of the machinery of this clause, but (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) could not divine what he meant when he said that the position of trustees and executors under this bill would bo different to that under the present law. Were there no annuities on personal property, were no persons Crown debtors now, and bad any one been deterred from undertaking these charges ? His right hon. friend talked as if those minor real estates were subject to perpetual inquiries more than successions to personal estates. At the period of a death the trustee must send in an account, and the charge would bo laid not on the gross annual value of the property, but after it was subjected to such deductions as the successor could establish, and he would sure to give a clear specifi cation of charges for which he would be entitled to deduc tions ; and by so doing a clue would be constituted and a guide afforded to the officers of the Inland Revenue. It was thought that it would be more convenient if the succes sion duty on those mino r es t a t es were pa id on w h en th ey fell in than to have them valued in the first instance. Sir J. PAKINGTON—The right hon. gentleman had fallen into a great inaccuracy with regard to the language which he stated had been used on that side of the house. He had contrasted the language of his right hon. friend with that of other gentlemen who had denounced the legacy duty on real estate, amidst loud cheers, as an act of " rob bery," and as the right hon. gentleman beside him had added, of "plunder." The right hon. gentleman was mis taken with regard to either word having been applied to the extension of the legacy duty to real property. The word " plunder" was used by him (Sir J. Pakington), the word "robbery" by the hon. member for Bodmin, and repeated by his right hon. friend the member for Oxfordshire. The word " robbery" was applied to that particular part of the bill which imposed a succession tax on leases for lives, and exempted leases for terms—(hear, hear)—and the word "plunder" was used by him (Sir J. Pakington) with re gard to the succession duties on timber. He had said that ho called it rather an act of " plunder" than " taxation," and he was not inclined to recede from that opinion. An other word, " confiscation," had been also used by him (Sir J. Pakington) ; and it was quoted from the opinion of high authority as applicable to the taxation of settled per sonal property by ex post facto legislation. He asserted that such strong words were the only ones that met the case ; and as he was in the habit, both in and out of the house, of saying exactly what he thought, if he felt that a strong expression met a case, he would not be deterred by any lectures from the other side from using such expres sions. (Hear, hear.) It was because he thought that real and personal property should be taxed, and all alike, that he objected to this bill until all its inequalities were re dressed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The right hon. gentleman had challenged lt , s accuracy in a matter where, if he had been inaccurate, he would have been most culpable. Re admitted that the right hon. gentle. man had applied the word " plunder" to a particular clause, and although the hon. member for Bodmin had used the word "robbery," he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not alluded to him. But he would read to the right hon. gentleman that to which his observation applied, which was this :—" Lord Galway moved that the chairman, un less some explanation were given of the meaning of the clause, report progress. He thought the whole scheme ini quitous. (Cheers.) It was a downright robbery—(re newed cheers from the Opposition benches)—and he was perfectly satisfied that the right hon. gentleman would never have introduced it all, but for the gentlemen on his right, the gentlemen of the Manchester school." (Cheers and laughter. That showed that he was not inaccurate ; and the right hon. baronet could not have heard what he said, or he would not have administered a rebuke on him. Sir J. PAKINGTON said a few words across the table ; after which Mr. PIGOTT thought they had better return to the sub ject under discussion. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had not removed the impression on his mind which had been made by the right hon. gentleman the member for Midhurst, and he would suggest that time should be given for the consideration of the clause. He was disappointed that the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Walpole) had not moved an amendment, by which the difficulties with re gard to trustees might have been got rid of. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said no obligation was thrown on any trustee by this act, unless he was a trustee in actual possession of the property ; so in 99 of the cases out of 100 which his right hon. friend apprehended would arise no duty would be cast on the trustee, nor would his duty be half so onerous under this act as that which was discharged by executors every day. Col. SIBTHORP said he should do all in his power to stop the progress of this most iniquitous bill. (Laughter.) He did not think the word "plunder" at all too strong. The bill was a decided attempt by government to plunder the aristocracy and the landed interest, for' the sake of pleasing the multitude and the Manchester school— (langhter)—without which they could not hold their places. (Hear, hear.) He repeated that he considered the bill an attempt by the government to plunder and rob their best friends. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER said the principle of the section (the 19th) was an extremely just and proper one— that charges on property should pay the succession duty when•they fell in ; but he would suggest an addition, to meet the case of charges falling in before the passing of the act. The bill was confined strictly to successions by death ; but there was in reality no difference in the result between those and other successions ; and there was no reason why one should pay tho tax and not the other. Till that principle was fully carried out, and applied to every case, the law would not be equal. Still, he did not that a reason why they should not pass the clause as it stood. Mr. HENLEY wished for some information as to the liability of trustees of estates' for lives. He stated a case in which he was concerned, and said that the proposal of this measure had led him seriously to consider of giving up his trust. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the successor in every case would be liable for the duty, and only when he came into possession of the property. The trustee was only liable when ho was in actual receipt and enjoyment of the property ; the cases were more accurately defined by the 33d clause. _ . _ Mr. WALPOLE referred to the first portion of the clause, and said there were cases in which both the trustee and the successor would be liable. The case was not at all similar, as had been alleged, to that of an executor paying duty on the property of deceased person. In this case trustees would have to pay on property the value of which they could not accurately estimate. Then there was the difficulty of finding out who were trustees, which would give rise to the most searching inquiries and demand most extensive machinery. He did not think the clause could be amended, and that was the strongest possible reason for pausing before passing the bill. The trustee would have to account for every charge upon the property for four years, and to make returns of them as thry fell in. The best way to amend the bill would be to introduce a clause levying the duty upon real property, in the same way as it was now levied upon personal property. After a few words front Mr. MULLINGB and the SOLI CITOR-GENERAL, Mr. CAIRNS said that, as there was a doubt whether this clause applied to leases or not, words ought to be in troduced to remove it. Mr. MALINS considered that the fact of making the trustee a crown debtor in all cases of successions to pro perty of which he might be the trustee, would throw additional difficulties in the way of dealing with property. In answer to a question from Mr. HEADLAM, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there was no intention of including leases in this clause. He admitted that the clause, so far as it related to trustees, might require some alteration, and for that purpose ho suggested its postponement. And in reply to Sir J. W a l s h he added that leases for lives would be dealt with by a separate clause. In the case of leases for years falling in as there was no death there would be no succession duty charged. Mr. M. CHAMBERS urged, that according to the clause as it stood, as every interest was chargeable, each lease as it fell, supposing that it gave an increased value to the successor to the possession, would be liable to the duty. It would be better to reconsider the wording of the clause. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that no duty was imposed on the determination of a lease for years, or on the determination of any interest except by death ; and as a lease for years did not determine by death but by efflux of time, as he read the clause, he did not think it would not apply to the falling in of such a lease. Mr. W. T. EGERTON wished to know whether, if the interest of the party had increased by the falling in of these leases, he would have to pay on the increased value. c , The S OLICITOR -GENERAL said the party would be charg e d u the present value and not upon the prospec tive hie. He had no doubt about the meaning of the or • but if after the words " prior charge, estate lllTiexest, he introduced these words, " the determina- ::ii~ii tion of which would create a succession!' hehoped it would satisfy those who did entertain doubts. Mr. HEADLAM still entertained a doubt whether the party would not be charged on the increased value cf the estate on the falling in of the leases. He would, therefore, suggest a postponement of the clause. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved that the Chairman report progress, which was agreed to. EXCISE DUTIES ON SPIRITS BILL. . . On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. CONOLLY said that the bill seriously affected the interests of the people of Ireland, and as it could not be properly discussed at that hour, he hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not press the third reading. Mr. GROGAN supported the appeal. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not, consistently with the state of public business, agree to the request for postponement. Mr. CONOLLY opposed the increased duty as being cal culated to stimulate illicit distillation in the north-western districts of Ireland. The hon. member concluded by moving the adjournment of the debate. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER resisted the adjournment, and said that the hon. member had himself offered the best argument against his motion by entering into the merits of the main question. He admitted that the district alluded to by the hon. member was peculiarly situ ated, but the business of the house was to legislate for the whole kingdom and not for any particular district. This increase was not so onerous as that proposed by Sir R. Peel in '42, being only in fact sixpence the gallon, deduc tion being made for the allowance for wastage in bond. Besides, much of the failure of Sir R. Peel's project arose from the Mathew movement in Ireland. The government intended to make the services of the constabulary aux iliary to those of the revenue police. They had not come to a conclusion on the question whether or not the two bodiei ought to be consolidated ; but they were con vinced that the constabulary could render great assist ance in the collection of the spirit duty ; and their opinion on this point was founded on the authority of responsible servants of the crown engaged in administering the govern ment of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) It was perfectly rational to anticipate the collection of the increased revenue, and the house having repeatedly decided in favour of the pro posed change, he hoped that decision would now be con firmed. Mr. P. O'BRIEN thought that after what had been done already the measure should not be subjected to any further opposition ; but as the question of drawback re quired consideration, he hoped this stage of the bill would not be pressed that evening. Lord C. HAMILTON was against passing the third reading until the government had stated by what improved machinery they meant to prevent illicit distillation. (Hear, hear.) He well remembered the social and moral evils which arose from the former attempt to levy an increased duty ; and he would particularly remind the right hon. gentleman that he had promised not to involve the consta bulary in the odium which might attend the collec of the tax. Mr. H. HERBERT could assure the Chancelloreof the Exchequer that great dissatisfaction would be caused by the employment of the constabulary. (Hear, hear.) His own county was at that moment supporting a larger body of police than it actually required ; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer now proposed to increase the duties of the constabulary for imperial purposes. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. YOUNG said there appeared to be an entire mis apprehension with regard to the use that was to be made of the constabulary. It was the opinion of many of the officers of that force most conversant with the-counties in which illicit distillation had been most prevalent that the constabulary might be employed to assist the revenue offi cars without any injury to its morale. The revenue police were to be placed in an effective condition ; and the con stabular were to assist them with local information, the furnishing of whi c h was t o be stimulated by rewards and regulations adapted to promote the object. There was no ground for supposing that new and onerous duties were to be thrown on the constabulary. He believed that the ob jections to the measure of 1842 did not apply to the pre sent one, and that this moderate additional daty might be safely collected. (Hear.) Lord NAAS had always, thought it perfectly right in principle that the highest leviable duty should be collected on spirits. His practical objections to the measure were greatly weakened by the right hon. gentleman's statement as to the providing of new machinery. His right hon. friend, however, had now merely shadowed out a vague plan of enlisting the constabulary, but unless he could show that he could employ them in the same way as the revenue force it was impossible to suppose that the in creased duties could be collected. Unless he was prepared to lay before them a distinct and perfect plan for the em ployment of the constabulary, he (the noble lord) should oppose the measure. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the services of the constabulary might be properly used in the manner proposed, but it would be much more judicious to postpone the matter for a year, until further inquiries could be instituted upon the subject. Mr. CAIRNS applauded the uniform conduct of the constabulary, and attributed it to the fact, ' that it had always been employed solely in the enforcement of the criminal law ; and he had always thought that the use of them in still-hunting would have been a serious blow to the efficiency of the force. But the plan of the right hon. gen tleman was infinitely worse, for he proposed to make them common spies and informer& (Cheers.) Colonel DUNNE entirely concurred with the hon. gen tleman who had last spoken, and he must express his sur prise that any such scheme could have proceeded from any one who had been connected with Ireland. Captain JONES also agreed with every word which had been said on the subject of the police. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was certainly right to a certain extent as to what he had said with respect to the effect of Father Mathew's temperance movement ; but it was, nevertheless, the act of Sir It. Peel which had reduced the revenue, and filled the gaols with persons convicted of offences against the revenue laws. In proof of this statement the hon. and gallant gentleman went through the statistics he had laid before the house on a previous evening. When the duty was at its lowest point the receipts had been the greatest, and the sum at present yielded to the Exchequer proved that it was already too high. Probably 3,000,000 gallons were now supplied every year by illicit distillation. The circumstances of the country were the same now as they were when Sir Robert Peel raised the duty, and the result of the present proposal would be the same as had followed the policy of that statesman. Lord GALWAY suggested to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer the propriety of adjourning the debate at once, as he had seen enough of Irish members on occasions like this to be satisfied that they would succeed in their object if they determined to persevere. For the adjournment 34 Against it ll3 Majority Lord NAAS still opposed the third reading of the bill, and moved the adjournment of the house, as he must be told how and in what manner the constabulary force of Ireland was to be employed in carrying out the provisions of this bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would be unable to tell until the experiment of this bill had been tried, and he hoped the noble lord would withdraw his opposition. To protest that this bill should not pass until the information asked was given, would be about as reason able as a man saying, " You shall not go into the water until you have learned to swim." (Hear, hear, and laughter.) _ _ Mr. NAPIER was rather surprised to hear this declara tion of the right hon. gentleman, seeing that he had already stated that the details for carrying out the budget, which of course included this bill, were quite ready. In a measure like this, the means of collection should be ascer tained as early as possible, and it certainly was not unrea sonable to ask for delay to admit of that information being obtained. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. YOUNG did not think there was any reason for loss of temper on this matter. Something that he said had been misinterpreted. It was stated that his right hon. friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) would state the details of the plan of collection. (The right hon. gentle man read an extract from the speech on the budget, to the effect that the constabulary would be called on to give their assistance in the collection of the revenue.) He had a conversation with Sir Duncan Macgregor, who said he had once been of opinion against a consolidation of the two forces, but from representations made to him he had yielded that opinion. The constabulary had extensive local knowledge, knew every house, and the occupation of the inmates, but they had never given any information. All that was intended now to be done was to bring the two forces a little together. This was all, not to make the po lice spies. They wished to go step by stop. This was the first step, and if they found it succeed, they might go a little further. They had acted most cautiously, and there was no call for the observations which had been made •on the other side. Colonel DUNNE thought the proposed employment of the constabulary would by no means make that force more popular in Ireland. The right hon. gentleman (Mr. Glad stone) said they should not get the plan ; but they had got it, and it was a very unwise one. They had got the opinion of Sir Duncan llacgrogor, but he was not so able to form an opinion as the country gentlemen. He (Col. Dunne) objected to the plan, which made the measure much worse. Mr. V. SO ULLY said if the constabulary were to be used to collect the revenue in Ireland, the Irish people should be entirely relieved from the charge of that force. He quite concurred in the observation that the police should not be used as spies ; but when the opportunity occurred, he should be prepared to prove that when gentlemen opposite were in office, they did use the police as spies. Mr. CONOLLY said in his county they were paying a large sum for an extra number of police to keep the peace, and now it appeared they were to be employed to collect the revenue. Lord J. RUSSELL said the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Napier) was particularly anxious to have the opinion of Sir Duncan Macgregor. Now he had got it ; and then it was said his opinion was not so good as that of the country gentlemen. He thought the right hon. gentleman could hardly, after this, persist in his opposition. He must see that any plan for the regulation of the police was a matter of detail, and could not be considered in that house. If the house would now agree to the third reading of this bill —if there was any question with regard to wastage, they could take that question afterwards ; but really, after the two hours' discussion they had had, he thought they ought to be allowed to take the third reading. Mr. MAGAN thought the observation of the noble lord a fair one. But he rose to allude to a subject which passed elsewhere this evening. (Uproarous laughter.) He pitied Lord Eglinton for the exhibition that noble lord had made of himself that evening in the House of Lords. He was astonished at Lord Eglinton having made use of an affidavit signed by one of the greatest malefactors in Ire land—a person whom he (Captain Mogan) would under take, if means were placed at his disposal out of 'the Con solidated Fund, to induce to swear that black was white. (Great laughter.) All the other subscribers wore persons incapable of giving disinterested evidence, being mere violent partisans. (Great laughter.) The gallant gentleman was proceeding to go into the whole details of the question, telling anecdotes illustrative of the characters of those persons ; but cries of Divide and Question led him to give way ' • and Lord C. HAMILTON returned to the point immediately before the house, but the house by this time (quarter past 2) had become exceedingly impatient, and he did not ob tain a hearing. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declared his readiness to offer the house every information that was possible ; but it was out of the question to produce a de tailed plan beforehand. Lord NAAS asked, then, if the Government would offer this session any bill for the new regulation of the consta bulary ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—No. Lord GALWAY implored the house at that hour to con sider Mr. Speaker. (Cheers from the English members.) Ho entreated hon. gentlemen not to ask the house to divide again. (Cheers, and cries of Divide.) Hon. gentlemen persisting, the house divided on the question of adjournment : Foradjournbag 2B Against lo9— 81 The house accordingly proceeded; and on re-entering the gallery, wo found Lord C. Hamilton and Sir J. V. Shelley contesting as to whether Lord Naas had been "factious." Lord N AAS repudiated the idea of factiousness, amid laughter ; and then again went into the question. Mr. PHINN was not fond of giving offence ; but ho asked the noble lord if 'the conduct of Mr. Napier had hot conveyed a practical reproof to him, that hon. and learned gentlemanhavingdesisted. from an opposition not warranted by the spirit of the house. (Loud cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL, at this point, said that nothing was to be gained by continuing such discussions and such divi sions. Hon. gentlemen might succeed in stopping business, but he doubted if they would not regret the impression they produced that they were a factious opposition. (Cheers.) He would agree to an adjournment of the debate. (Cheers, mingled with cries of " No, no," "Go on," "Go on for ever.") The SPEAKER then put tho question (we do not know by whom moved) that the debate should be adjourned ; and the ayes and noes being about equal there was another division. For the adjournment.. Against 21 _lO3-82 Col. DU - NNE moved that the house do now adjourn. Mr. R. MOORE was understood to support the motion, and attempted to address the house, amidst great confu sion and cries of Divide. Mr. BOWYER suggested that the machinery of the bill should be suspended, and a separate measure for regulating it be introduced ; and that the bill be read a third time, reserving the question of the machinery, and that of the employment of the police. Mr. MAGAN concurred in the suggestion. After a few words from Mr. CONOLLY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that Mr. Conolly had absented himself when the bill was for merly discussed. This measure was expected to come on to-night, and the Succession Bill had gone off at 10 o'clock, could the hon. member have been in his place, or had he come in after midnight, fresh, and not exhausted, as the rest of the house had been, and he now sought to adopt the old plan of converting a minority into a majority. But the rule of the house, and by which alone the business of the house could be conducted, was that the minority should yield to the majority, and the great question now was whether that rule should be maintained or not? (Cheers.) After a few words from Col. SIBTHORP. Col. KNOX said that after the lecture of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he would say that, the sneering and taunting manner in which he had received a reasonable request had caused the difficulty in which the house was now placed. Several other members spoke, and the house divided on the question of adjournment— For the adjournment lB Against. 94-76 The bill was ultimately read a third time, on the under standing that the discussion should be taken onthe question of its passing. NEW WRITS. New writs were ordered for Durham and Peterborough, vacant by the decision of election committee. The house ajourned at half-past three o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER, YESTERDAY. _ _ Since Tuesday there has been very iittle doing, many having gone to Beverley races, which took place on Wed nesday and Thursday. Yesterday, however, the Coom berland Strathesmon for the Northumberland Plate (about whom 20 to 1 was offered on Tuesday) was again introduced, and without much outlay closed at 7 to 1, but owing to the scantiness of the attendance, we could not consider that a fair market price. Garforth for the same event, who has for some time been nominally in the betting at 100 to 7, was backed at as low as 8 to 1. To-day there was no great eagerness shown to back the Strathesmon, and Colsterdale, who has this day or two looked unhealthy in the market, showed symptoms of improvement. A few investments brought the Liver pool Cup into notice, and a few inquiries were made about the Goodwood Stakes ; any advance upon 10 to 1 would have been taken about Sestus, which price was offered on the field. There was a further advance in favour of West Australian for the St. Leger. LATEST BETTING.

This return match was resumed and concluded at Lord's yesterday, when a large assemblage of spectators gathered to gaze upon the proceedings. As on the first named day, so yesterday, the company comprised a large number of the aristocracy and gentlemen who take an interest in the game. The Marylebone Club having left off on Thursday with a score of 108 and one wicket to go down, now increased that number to 113, or 21 behind their opponents. Oxford then went in for their second hands, and were not dislodged until they had accomplished 114 runs. In their second innings, the M.O.C. were only able to " tie" their former innings, and thus they left themselves in a gross minority of 22. And so stood the ultimate score : OXFORD. First Innings.

TWENTY-TWO OF WISBEACH AND DISTRICT. This match was played at Wisbeach, on the ground in the Lynn-road, upon Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last. Some of the novely of such an event had been taken off by a similar match at Wisbeach two years ago, but the residents of the district, whose opportunities for a gathering are not very numerous, assembled in great force, particularly on the second day, when the England players had the greater portion of their work to do. The final score showed a majority in favour of the Eleven of 27 runs in one innings. THE STRIKE OF THE MANCIIIESTER POLICE FORCE.— Little change has taken place in the aspect of this movement since our Saturday's publication. Of the 250 notices of resignation handed by Captain Willis to the watch committee on Thursday last, we believe none have been recalled by the men. Previous to the strike there was a somewhat numerous list of ap plicants for situations in the force. TkesChave been communicated with, and 12 of the number have re sponded to the. call. These, along with 18 others, making 30 men, were yesterday set on partial duty, and placed in course of training. We understand that offers have been received from police establishments in various parts of the country to supply men, as soon as it shall be definitively concluded that the force in Man chester who have given notice to resign intend to per severe in their determination. A feeling, however, begins to prevail, that if the councillors for the different wards, who aro supposed to know something of the opinions of their constituents in the matter, were to re present their views at a special meeting of the council, it would be found that a majority of them were in favour of some advance being acceded to, rather than that the city should suffer the inconvenience inevitable upon a new force. The existing establishment have had many wholesome lessons imparted to them in court from the bench, on the necessity of preserving a calm temper under irritating circumstances, and have also become ac quainted with many useful points guarding them against unduly infringing upon the liberty of the subject, show ing under what considerations they are justified in enter ing a person's house, when a person should be summoned instead of apprehended, &c. Whether it would be wise to sacrifice all this for the sake of a couple of shillings each per week is more than doubtful.—Manchester Exa miner. NORTHERN LIGHTS.—The annual statement of the ac counts of the Commisioners for Northern Lights for the year 1852, have been laid before Parliament, pursuant to the act. The total revenue of the northern lights for that year was 50,6001. ls. 4fd., being 48,0041. 35.-41 d. received as light dues, and 2,5851. 18s. miscellaneous receipts. The expenditure is included under the follow ing branches :—Ordinary expenditure for the mainten ance of lights, 13,5311. ,18s. 3d. ; ditto allocated upon the light-houses, 15,1471. 12s. 84d. ; extraordinary ex penditure, 13,7521. 17s. sd.—making a total expendi ture for the year of 42,4321. Bs. W. The surplus, therefore, amounts to 8,1671. 135., from which a. balance of 6,606/. 13s. 5d., due to the Royal Bank at the close of 1851, must be deducted, leaving a sum of 1,5601. 188. 7d. at the bank to the credit of the commissioners. , 1 7 1f0Af - 271. e LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDA Y.

They superiede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket, and aro of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.
