the old oak chest and the old arm chair, and other furni ture which had come down to him, perhaps, from his grand mother, he would find that if they were of more value than 201., he would have to pay for them 24 per cent. as probate duty, and lA per cent. as legacy duty, while under the pre sent bill not more than A per cent. would be paid by the landed interest. Lord J. MANNERS expressed his astonishment that the landed interest had treated this budget so leniently, and quoted a passage from Adam Smith, to the effect that the monied interest in Parliament always looked more sharply to what effected themselves than the country interest did. He objected to this clause because it treated timber or product of the soil in a manner in which no other product of the soil was treated, and subjected it to an unfair, odious, and inquisitorial system of taxa tion. He also objected to it because it was antagonistic to the principle of taxation which had hitherto prevailed in this country. There were peculiar circumstances con nected with timber which might induce the Government to exempt it from taxation altogether. In estimating the value of property hedge-row timber was naturally included, and if that timber were removed for the improvement of agriculture were they to tax it ? Ought they not to allow for the detriment which its growing had occasioned to cul tivation? The same observations applied to isolated field timber. Another objection to the tax was, that it was a tax—an excise duty—on raw material. Mr. M`Culloch laid down in his work that it was against all principle to lay taxes on commodities to be subsequently manufactured, and that timber was the most important of all raw mate rials. At this very moment, though there was nominally a duty on all foreign timber imported, the exceptions were numerous. No duty was paid on timber for shipbuilding. Was it just that all this foreign timber should be imported duty free, while corresponding articles of English growth were heavily taxed ? (Hear, hear.) If this clause were carried, the spectacle present ed would be a most extraordi nary one—the same Parliament which declared the impor tation of foreign timber at the lowest cost to be an object of national importance, would be enacting that all English timber should be taxed to an amount varying according to the degree of relationship between the present and the for mer owner. In order to be consistent, those who repealed the corn and the meat duties should have proposed some time ago that corn and meat grown in En,gland should be subject to an excise duty. (Hear, hear.) By retaining this clause the right hon. gentleman would confirm the suspicion that landlords had formed with regard to the sin cent of free traders, and would deepen the feeling that, at the hands of the present Government at least, the landed interest had no reason to expect justice or fair consideration. Mr. H. DRUMMOND was surprised that the noble lord did not perceive the fallacy of his own argument. (Cheers from the Ministerial benches.) The proposed tax was not a tax on timber, but a tax on succession, and would bepaid by the owner of the staves to which the noble lord referred no less than by the landowners. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord said he could not understand how anybody connected with the landed interest could support their bill. He (Mr. Drummond) held that the principle involved in that re mark was a fallacious one. When legislation was founded on class interest, it could not be of the right kind. (Hear, hear.) He disliked this succession tax as much as any one ; but the question was why, when personalty was subjected to a succession duty realty should be exempted. (Hear, hear.) The expenses connected with the levying of the tax, would no doubt produce a great deal of irritati on , but it was the small and not the powerful landed proprie tors who would suffer most. The attorneys would reap such a large harvest from this tax, that they would have no occasion in future for the efforts of the noble lord the member for Middlesex (Lord R. Grosvenor) since her Ma jesty's Government had, in the succession duty, made them a present which far outweighed anything they could g ain from the remission of the duty on certificat es . H ear. ) The house then divided— For the amendment Against it. Majority 40 Mr. CAYLEY said as k general rule timber land was not more valuable than arable or pasture land, while single trees and hedgerows did more harm than good. He would, therefore move as an amendment that it shonld be at the option of the successor to have timber estimated for the purposes of the act at the same rate as arable, pasture, or other land of similar finality immediately adjoining. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was sorry that he could not consent to the insertion of the proposed words, first. because it would not be applicable to park timber, and secondly because it would create the greatest possible difficulty in the assessment of value. All ground of objection was removed by the fact of the successor hav ing the option of either paying on the annual receipts or commuting. The amendment was negatived without a division. Sir J. PAKINGTON then moved an amendment, the object of which was to prevent the bill from being retro spective. He could not allow this bill to be passed without again recording his strong objection to what appeared to him the excessive injustice of adding to the burdens of pro perty, which was already over-taxed. Whatever difference of opinion there might be on other points, there could be none with regard to the injustice of ex post facto legisla tion—(hear, hear)—and although they (the Opposition) had not been able to obtain majorities in that house, it was satisfactory to know that they had succeeded in opening the eyes of the country to the oppressive nature of the im post which the Government now sought to impose on it. It now remained for the other house and the country to say what view they took of this measure • and he believed that so inquisitorial and oppressive would the new tax be found, that the country, at least, would insist on some other species of taxation being substituted for it. (Hear.) Mr. MALINS said the attention of the right hon. gen tleman had been repeatedly drawn to this clause (the 34th), the effect of which was, that a son who had joined a father in getting encumbrances on his inheritance, and then succeeded, would have to pay the tax as if he succeeded to a clear inheritance. He had within his knowledge a case in which more than a million was borrowed in that man ner, long before the Succession Bill was thought of— (hear, hear)—and would it be just to make the heir pay on the million borrowed? Ho appealed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had not thought it necessary to answer the arguments previously addressed to him, whether ho thought it just that a son should be made to pay duty on property to which he never succeeded? Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the reason why he had not spoken on the point referred to by the hon. and learned gentlemen of late was, that not in one debate only, but in three or four debates, he had said everything which it was within the limits of his capacity to conceive or to inflict on the house. (Hear, hear.) To the hon. and learned gentleman's question, whether he thought this clause just; he had not the least hesitation in reply ing that he thought it was just. It was not, as the hon. and learned gentleman supposed, the principle of the bill that men should pay duty merely on that to which they, Actually succeeded, but that they should pay it on that to which it was in their order, choice, and option to succeed. (Hear, hear.) If a person anticipated his succession by spendine the fruit beforehand, the requiring him to pay the dut y was founded on general justice. It was not de sirable for the country that those who had nominally 50,0001. a year, and had pledged 45,0001., should remain in imaginary possession of the whole estate. The prin ciple required by justice was that the succession which had been anticipated should not be placed in a better position than that which had been waited for until the legal and proper time of enjoyment. Mr. MULLINGS supported the amendment. Mr. NEWDEGATE protested against the bill as me diaeval legislation, and as an effort to restore feudal tenure. If the right hon. gentleman merely wanted increased re venue from real property, why not add a sixpence in the pound to Schedule A ? Mr. DISRAELI did not think that the Chancellor of the Exchequer's anticipations as to the amount to be derived from this source would be realised. The case mentioned by the hon. and learned member for Wallingford would certainly find this clause oppressive, and the parties had no remedy, as they h a d no power to alienate any portion of the domain. He thought the right hon. gentleman had better re-consider the clause, with a view to making it pro spective only. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL had always objected to legislating with a view to particular cases ; but, as this particular case had been mentioned, he might say that where a father and son wished to preserve estates from pride of ancestry, instead of selling to clear off debts, that was not a case for peculiar consideration. Again, a man might borrow 50,0001. on his succession, and turn it to pro fit, and was that to escape because it had been antici pated ? Mr. WALPOLE would venture to say that unless Go vernment gave way on this clause they would not only suffer in public opinion, but would be defeated in another place, where the clause would be judicially considered. He had no objection to the prospective operation of the clause, lout thought that its retrospective action should be pre vented. The house divided— For the amendment Against it y Majorit On the question that the bill do pass, —4l Mr. MALINS proposed amendments leaving out clause 23, and exemptin g " ti tles to land" from the operation of clause 49. He considered the power taken unnecessary, and likely to prove oppressive and offensive oven to the small freeholders. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had already shown that the p ro d uction ofd eeds was absolutely necessary. Sir C. BURRELL supported the amendment. The house divided— For the amendment llO Against it .............................. Majority 146 ....................... ... A verbal amendment was ma d e at the instance of Mr. CRAUFUBD. On the question that " the bill do now page,* another division was insisted upon by the opposition, the numbers on which were— For the motion 176 Against it Majority —72 The bill then passed, amid considerable cheering from the Ministerial side of the INDIA BILL. The house then went into committee on the India Bill. Clauses 15 to 22 were agreed to. On clause 22, which refers to the appointment of legis lative councillors to be added to the Council of India for making laws and regulations, and empowers the Court of Directors, if they should think it expedient, to add, under the control of the Government, two persons, having been ten years in the civil service, to the Legislative Council. Sir H. MADDOCK said he objected to the number of councillors to be appointed, on account of the expense. From his experience of the Council of India, he was of opinion that there was not enough of business to occupy any number of gentlemen during the whole course of the year. But if they were going to insist on the appointment of so numen us a council, then he was of opinion and should propose that three persons so appointed should be European or . native Indian subjects of her iviajog+v and in the service of hiaj(st 7 or of company.

Some persons thought g h h i t t°° " d natives had not conducted themselves so well in other situations that they should be appointed to th e Le " 4 Council. He differed very much from those personisa,t° c ause when he was in India he was as well and faithf ully . served by natives as ever he was in England. He believed that if a Hindoo and Mahomedan were appointed it would tend to give confidence to the natives of the country, and would prevent those mistakes with respect to their customs and usages which led to so much mischief. Sir H. MADDOCK said he should be glad to adopt the amendment of the hon. member for Montrose or his own, as the President of the Board of Control should consider best. But, with reference to what fell from the hon. member (Mr. Hume) with regard to the evidence before the Indian committee, he wished to say that though there was a difference of opinion as to admitting natives into the councils generally, yet he was not aware that any of the evidence given went further than this • that they would be useless. He believed that two or three native gentlemen associated with seven or eight English gentlemen would have much weight in a council. The main reason for which he asked a consideration of this matter was, that if it was desired to inspire the people of India with a belief that we were interested in their welfare and were anxious that they should have an opportunity of declaring their feelings and advocating their interests, it would be only an act of wisdom and justice to place two native gentlemen in the Legislative Council. He would not place them in the Executive Council, for he believed that the executive and the officers of the army should be English, and that the civil service should also be English, and a close service, and that no natives should be admitted into it. Sir R. INGLIS said there would be a difficulty in select ing natives for these offices. From what class were you to take the Hindo, and from what sect the Mahommedan ? He believed that as muchknowledge of Indian affairs, literature andlaw was to be obtained in the council from English gen tlemen who were members of it. Sir C. WOOD said there were two questions now for consideration—the proposition of the hon. member for Rochester, with regard to the number of the Legislative Council ; and that of his hon. friend the member for Mon trose, who, in addition to the twelve members proposed by the bill, wished an addition of two natives. He agreed with the hon. member for Rochester, that the government of India must be despotic, and that was the principle the bill intended to carry out. As regarded the natives, he hoped that by increased education and intercourse with Europeans, they would soon acquire their share in the go vernment of India. The evidence before the committee, and especially that of Mr. Halliday, went to show that the character of the native judges had greatly improved, and the tenor of the whole of the evidence was, that the ap pointment of natives to offices was increasing all over India ; but that the time had not come when they should be admitted into the Legislative Council. So far as con ciliating the good:opinion of the natives, he did not think that anything would be gained by putting two natives into the council. If the natives were not fitted for admission into the civil service, as the hon. member for Rochester said, were they fit for admission into the Legislative Coun cil? The evidence before the committee went to this, that by means of increased education the natives were becoming more fit for employment in important offices in the service of the company, and in this he (Sir C. Wood) concurred ; but it decided that whatever else they were fit for, they were not fit for the Legislative Council. With regard to the number of the council all the evidence agreed in this, —that there should be a council of twelve, including gen tlemen from all the presidencies, which was an important and necessary addition. He did not think it would be wise to increase the number of the Executive Council, but it would be very advisable to have the information in the Legislative Council which gentlemen from all the presi dencies could afford. A question had been raised whether it was advisable to revise the law commission in India. He thought the best course to proceed *as as the bill pro posed. He did not think it advisable either to decrease or add to the numbers of the Legislative Council. Lord STANLEY was as desirous as any one to see native talent admitted to the highest offices in India, but he saw great difficulty in doing it in the way proposed by Mr. Mume. He feared that the seats in the Legislative Council proposed to be opened to natives would not be given as the reward of merit but as a matter of favour by the Govern ment. (Hear, hear.) It was not desirable to place the natives in these high offices without they had the oppor tunity of qualifying themselves by filling lower positions. He had therefore no alternative but to vote for the clause as it stood. Lord JOCELYN thought it desirable that the highest offices should be open to the natives, but could not concur in the propriety of giving those appointments to the Go vernor-General. Though concurring in its principle, he could not support the amendment. He hoped the time was not far distant when they should be able to g ive their Indian fellow-subj ec t s a s h are i n th e government of that country. Mr. BLACKETT said he should support the amend ment. The employment of natives in the Government had been recommended by Lord Elphinstone and by Lord El lenborough, than whom no one was a more determined advocate of English supremacy. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that to introduce a Hindoo or a Mussulman into the Legislative Council, would be most distasteful to India generally. Mr. MANGLES said there was no single native to be found in India who could be considered a representative of the Indians generally. There was not the smallest nation ality or community among them. There were hundreds of Europeans in the service of the company who knew no more about India than did the natives themselves. Had natives been in the council at the time, they would have opposed the abolition of suttees by Lord Wm. Bentinck. (Hear.) They would also have opposed that humane mea sure of Lord Wellesley, by which the destruction of chil dren was prevented. He would give the natives large prizes in the judicial and other departments; but they. would not be fit, for many years, for legislative employ ment; and it would be a positive unkindness to them to place them in such offices. Mr. H. D. SE YMOUR thought that a heavy charge had been brought against the company, in regard to their neg lect of the employment of the natives ; and that that charge had not been answered. The right hon. baronet (Sir J. Graham) had had the candour to confess in his speech on this bill, that the object of the Government was to get plenty of places in India for the middle classes of this country ; but he (Mr. Seymour) thought that the middle class would have sufficient morality and virtue to repudiate this bait to continue British despotism in India. Such a system as was pursued by the rulers of India, in withholding all offices from Indians had never been pursued by the worst tyrants and conquerors in the whole history of the country. Ho denied that the evidence taken by the committee justified the arguments used and the plan proposed by the right hon. gentleman (Sir C. Wood). The evidence went the other way. • (The hon. gentleman quoted instances.) It was a maxim in history that the conquering nation which did not amalgamate with the conquered could not endure; and the future of England in India was indeed hazardous, if the system she was to pursue was that vicious and fallacious system sketched that evening by the right hon. gentleman in opposing this amendment. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to make general observations on the bill, and was finally stopped by angry cries of " divide." Sir H. HADDOCK (who spoke amidst much impatience) expressed an opinion that the time would ere long come when it would be necessary to admit natives to assist in the Legislative Council of India. Mr. HUME replied his object was rather to consult the feelings of the natives, and by showing them that there were prizes to be gained under the British rule to attach them to our sway. The committee then divided— For the amendment 39 Against it l6B Majority • —l29 The amendment was therefore lost. Clause 22 was then agreed to. On clause 23, Mr. BRIGHT objected to proceeding further. Sir C. WOOD said he only wished to proceed with the clauses that were unopposed. Mr. BRIGHT said if they were unopposed now they would be unopposed afterwards. Mr. HUME moved that the Chairman report progress. He had been in the house since 12 o'clock. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Thursday. BILL. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the house divided, when there appeared— For the third reading Against it Majority The till was consequently thrown out. 42 53 -11 BURIAL GROUNDS. Lord PALMERSTON moved for leave to bring in a bill to authorise the closing of burial grounds in towns. In reply to a question from Mr. A PELLATT, Lord PALMERSTON said the object of the bill was simply to extend to districts beyond the metropolis the provisions contained in the act of last year, giving power to the Secretary of State to close churchyards, leaving it to the parishes to make provision for burial. Leave was then given, and the bill was brought in and read a first time. FACTORY BILL. Lord PALMERSTON obtained leave to bring in a bil: to limit the hours of employment of children in factories. Leave having been given, the bill was brought in and road a first time. The house adjourned at 20 minutes to 2. PAIRS ON SUCCESSION TAX BILL. FOR. AGAINST. Mr. Wm. Brown. Mr. G. Sturt. Mr. Brand.

MOLESWORTH said he promised the hon. member for Honiton to make a statement with regard to this bill. In 1845, the Royal Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements, in their second and fifth reports recommended that a new park should be formed in Battersea-fields, and, that, in connection with it a bridge should be built across the Thames at Chelsea, and that a new street communicating with Lower Sloane-street should be made on the embankment from Vauxhall-bridge to Battersea-bridge, and along that embankment a road was to be made about two miles long. In consequence of this roper., .n 1846 two acts were passed, one to make a park iu Battersea-fields, and the other to empower the Commissioners of Works to make a bridge to Chelsea, and to make an embankment from Vauxhall to Battersea. Fc r the making of the bridge and the new street, the commissioners were em powered to borrow 120,000/. from the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, which was to be raid partly by means of a general rate and partly by contributions from persons whose property would thus be improved. Those contribu tions were not to be commenced till agreements, approved of by the Treasury, had been entered into by the parties whose property was to be improved. The time for making those agreements would expire on the Ist of August next, and one object of the bill was to extend the time till July next year. The bridge at Chelsea was in process of con struction, but the embankment had not been commenced, except a portion of it, which had been commenced by an agreement with Mr. Cubitt. The estimate for the bridge was 70,000/., and for the embankment and new rtreet 146,0001., making 216,0001. altogether. It was expected that 62,0001. would be received partly from persons whose property would be improved, and partly from the resale of property along the embankment and. the new street. The next expenditure therefore would be 154,0001., in return for which it was expected there would be a net income from tolls on the bridge and from the piers, amounting to about 6,600/. a year, making a retu r n o f a b ou t f our per cent. on the outlay. The park of Battersea would be com paratively of little use to the inhabitants on the north bank of the Thames, unless there was a bridge at Chelsea ; and the bridge would be of little use to it unless approaches were made to it from the east and west, from Vauxhall bridge and Battersea; and the embankment and roadway would be of the greatest benefit to the public. Mr. LOCKE said the observations he made the other night were not to oppose this bill, but were of a more ex tensive chai:acter, and intended to apply g enera ll y to schemes which were brought forward without an estimate but ho wish e d to kTnhoewe.isftitmhae of the e x p ense. te fu i n n ds th w is er c e as f e o w rt a h s co 2 m 66 i , n ooo g, 0 1. r, over their heads fourhaving propertyhang ing Sir DE L.

Lord PALMERSTON said next year he intended to bring in a bill for the permanent continuance of the com mission, with an infusion of the representative principle. After a few words from Mr. FREWEN, The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted. The Sheep , &c., Contagious Diseases Prevention Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. ASSISTANT-JUDGE (MIDDLESEX SESSIONS) On the motion for the third reading of this bill, • Mr. ALCOCK moved as an amendment that the bill be read a third time that day six months, as the people of Sur rey thought the judge was already paid most handsomely, considering the honourable position which the office gave him. (Hear, hear.) Sir DE L. EVANS was never more surprised in his life than when he heard of the introduction of this bill ; for it would be in the recollection of the house that it was only a short time ago that he brought the conduct of this judge under the notice of Parliament with reference to the case of Mary Hill, and then not all the adroitness, and all the talent, and all the pleasantry of the noble lord at the head of the Home Department could get rid of the bad impres sion which the conduct of the learned gentleman created in the minds of hon. members. (Hear.) And yet within three months after that occurrence the house was asked to increase the learned gentleman's salary, thus as it were passing a vote of confidence in the judge, and stultifying its own previous decision. (Hear.) The eccentricities and peculiarities which characterised the administration of Justice in the learned judge's court were too well known to need recapitulation ; but nevertheless there were one or two instances of scenes in the court which he must be per mitted briefly to refer to. He held in his hand a report of the proceedings in the Middlesex Court, wherein it was stated that a person was brought before this gentleman to be re-examined, and he told the accused that he was con vinced he was a thief, although there was no evidence ad duced against him, nor had any trial taken place. (Hear, hear.) Immediately another prisoner was brought before him, a woman who was not blessed with handsome fea tures, and the learned judge becoming jocular upon the vil lanous character of her countenance, a juryman was in duced to ask whether the woman was to be tried according to her physiognomy or according to the evidence. (A laugh.) Scenes of ,this unseemly nature were constantly taking place in the court over which this gentleman presided, and they did not always partake of the ludicrous—since in two cases where an acquittal had taken place the judge went the length of pronouncing the parties to he guilty in spite of the verdict of the jury to the contrary. (Hear.) Now, ho would ask the house to add these cases to the medium instance of the poor woman who had three years' transpor tation clapped on to her sentence for simply using an offen sive expression, and then to say whether they could with common decency pass this bill ? A There was, however, another case to which he must call attention, in the hope that the noble lord at the head of the Home Department would be enabled to give some satisfactory account of it to the house. It might be entirely unfounded, for aught that ho knew to the contrary, but at the same time it was to be found in the published reports of the trials of this gentle man's court, and he should treat it as a fact unless it was contradicted by the noble lord. It occurred on the 22d of June 1852, and was the case o f a man name d J ames , w h o was Charged with having stolen a purse containing 1/. ls. 6d. For this, on being found guilty, he was sentenced to ten years' transportation. Lord PALMERSTON was sorry to interrupt the hon. member, but he found that an understanding had been come to with an hon. baronet opposite, that this bill should not be discussed until Thu rs d a y. It would perhaps be convenient, therefore, if the debate was adjourned until then. (Cries of " No, no," and "Go on." Sir De L. EVANS said he could not consent to this delay without concluding the only other statement of im portance that he had to make with reference to this bill. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, this man was said to have been sentenced to lA years' transportation. Certainly a very severe punishment, considering the insignificant nature of the offence, and upon hearing the sentence the man, who was of a rather violent temper, somewhat after the man ner of Mary Hill, let fly a penny ink-bottle at the judge— (a laugh) —who thereupon, without any trial whatever, or or without going through any legal:proceetlings, sentenced him to fivo years' additional transportation.

HOUSE OF LORDS —(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of HARIZOWBY presented petitions from Hull, and Cowes, Isle of Wight, against the opening of public-houses on Sundays. BANKRUPTCY (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the com mittal of this bill explained that its object was to assi milate as much as possible the bankruptcy law of Scot land with that of England, and to make better provision for the prevention of fraudulent bankrupts in Scotland. Lord BROUGHAM did not think that the bill went to the root of the evil which existed in the Scotch bankruptcy law. It only applied little provisions to the great defects in the law, and he was afraid it could not prevent the practice which now prevailed amongst Scotch traders, of giving one creditor an unjust prefer ence over others. He admitted, however, that the bill was, on the whole, a step in the right direction, and he was prepared to give it such attention and support as the importance of the subject demanded. The noble lord at some length entered into the minute details of the law, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the South-Eastern Rail way (Canterbury and Whitstable, &c.), and Great Western (Henley) Bills were considered and agreed to. The Hall Dare's Estate, Castlemaine Estuary Recla mation, and Poulnasherry Inclosure Bills were read a third time and passed. The Jesus College Estate and Sergison's Estate Bills were read a second time. A great number of petitions were presented by vari ous hon. members in favour of the inspection of nunneries. THE DIVISION OF LAST NIGHT. On the orders of the day being read, Mr. H. BERKELEY complained of the short time which was allowed between the clearing of the house and the divisions last night. The bell had only rung a minute and a half, and it was quite impossible for mem bers to reach the house from the library in that time. The SPEAKER said that the length of time which elapsed between the putting of the question and the division depended on the number of strangers present and the time they took in withdrawing. EDINBURGH AND CANONGATE ANNUITY TAX ABOLITION BILL On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. MACAULAY presented a petition from 7,000 inhabitants of Edinburgh in favour of the bill. Mr. J. B. SMITH presented petitions against the bill. The LORD-ADVOCATE moved the second reading of this bill. This tax had been first levied in 1661, for the support of the town ministers of Edinburgh, to supply the withdrawal of the revenue of the Bishopric of Orkney. The tax had, however, led to bickerings and ill-feeling, and the matter having been considered by a select committee of the house, they recommended a settlement of the tax, which was substantially the same in all its parts as the bill now laid upon the table of the house. The tax was levied upon house property, with an exemption of the College of Justice, the judges, barristers, and attorneys, to the amount of 6 per cent. The number of ministers at the present time receiving was 18. The proposition of this bill was to reduce the tax from 6 to 3 per cent., to abolish the exemption of the College of Justice, and to reduce the number of ministers from 18 to 15. The tax will be made a regular municipal tax, and paid into the Conso lidated Fund ; and to make up for the reduction of the tax, the revenue of the Deans of the Chapel Royal which now amounted to about 1,5001. a year, and were enjoyed by the Principal and the Profassor of Biblical Criticism in the university, would be after the death of the pre sent holders paid to the account of the tax, and he believed that in a short time the revenue would amount to 2,2001. In the meantime, until the falling in of these Deaneries of the Chapel Royal, an additional one per cent. would be charged. The stipend for each minister would be 5001. a year. This proposition was almost the same as that of the late Go vernment, and he hoped the house would pass the bill, and settle a much-vexed question, which, if not settled, must inevitably give rise to great agitation and ill feeling. Mr. J. B. SMITH moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time this day six months, on the ground that it was to impose a tax on dissenters to support churches which they did not frequent. The hon. gentleman went into a variety of statistics, to show that the churches, for the support of which this tax was to be levied, were empty and unattended, and that the persons on whom it was levied, really attended other churches which they supported themselves. He con tended that there was no right to appropriate the re venues of the deans of the Chapel Royal to the purpose of supplying the tax ; they were not ecclesiastical property, though they might have been so before the abolition of episcopacy, but then they at once became national property. The proper way of dealing with this question was to return to the state of things which existed before the year 1806: to repeal that act, which was obtained by fraud, and to reduce the number of ministers to six, which was all that the town of Edinburgh was originally liable to maintain. Mr. HADFIELD seconded the amendment. He condemned the proposed tax as being one for the maintenance of religious doctrines to which the majority of the people were opposed ; and he was satisfied the Government would not obtain any honour in the country by giving the bill their countenance. He trusted that so detestable a bill would not receive the assent of the house. Mr. MACAULAY supported the bill on the same principle on which he had voted for the measure for the reduction of the Irish bishops, and said he should with out the smallest apprehension, after voting for the bill, present himself before his constituents, to whom he owed as much as any member of the house. The right hon. gentleman then pointed out the grievances of the inha bitants of Edinburgh, which he divided into three heads--first, that the State had laid on them the charge of an enormously great Church Establishment ; secondly, that it had exempted from that charge people who were best able to bear it ; and thirdly, that it had taken away those ancient Church lands which ought to have formed part of the charge ; and said the remedies which the bill proposed were, first, the diminution of the number of the clergy ; next, the abolition of the privileges of the College of Justice, who were exempted from the tax ; and lastly, the application of the whole or part of the revenues of the deaneries of the Chapel Royal. This bill, like every other, respected existing rights. Indeed, he trusted no bill would ever be introduced into the house which would interfere with the vested rights of property. (Cheers.) The view of those who proposed the bill was that in no case whatever should a single farthing pass out of the consolidated fund into the pockets of the ministers of Edinburgh, and he was ready in committee to agree to any suggestion for securing that object. Its principles had been affirmed by three successive governments, and had been approved of by a committee which had patiently and deliberately investigated into the subject. The hon, member who moved the amend ment even himself distinctly agreed to all these prin ciples. Therefore, for the sake of peace in Edinburgh, peace in Scotland, and for the sake of the Established Church, he implored the house not to reject the bill. It was unnecessary to remind the house what melan choly outrages and events had been the consequence of the tax. Could anything be conceived more pain ful than a minister being compelled to call out soldiers in order to protect himself in attending meetings ? The unpopularity of the tax differed from that of any other. There was a great distinction between an unpo pular Church and an unpopular army or preventive ser vice. A Church which was hated was worse than use less, for it existed only to inspire respect, and if it gave rise to feelings opposite to respect, it bad better not exist at all. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he again implored the house not to sanction the support of an useless and unne cessary institution by means which could only cause it to be hated. (Cheers.) Col. BLAIR opposed the bill, and recommended that it should be amended so as to be acceptable to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Lord SEYMOUR likewise opposed the measure. He admitted the annuity tax was a grievance, and that its abolition was desirable ; but the provisions in the bill were so objectionable that, lie could not give them his assent. He could not see any reason why the con solidated fund should be made liable to the support of the Church of Edinburgh, which would be the result of the bill. His other principal objection to the bill was that it would take away the money which belonged to the deans of the Chapel Royal. lie conceived that the real grievance was not the tax itself, which had existed for 200 years, but that the churches of Edinburgh were empty, and he recommended that, in order to get rid of that evil, they should proceed in Edinburgh in the same way that they did in London, where the useless churches in the city were removed to neighbourhoods where they were wanted. He warned the house that if it assented to the bill, it would impose an annual charge on the consolidated fund. _ _ Mr. BOUVERIE did not approve of some of the de tails of the bill, but should support the second reading, considering that it presented the only reasonable chance of obtaining a fair settlement of the question of the an nuity tax. IVir. JOHN MACGREGOR opposed the bill, because it would impose a charge on the consolidated fund, and would occasion even greater discontent than now existed in Edinburgh. Mr. E. ELLICE, sen., objected to the second reading of the bill on the same ground. Here Sir J. FITZGERALD, the new member for Clare, was called to the table, and took the o a ths and his seat. Mr. MIALL considered that the real principle of the bill was to provide for the support of the religion of the small mino r it y o f Edi n b urgh, by taxing the large ma jority which was directly opposed to those more enlight ened views with respect to what was right and just be tween men and men in affairs purely religious, which distinguished the present day. The bill was not a set tlement of the matter, it would merely delay the incon venient pressure of the question from themselves to a future Parliament, it would settle nothing, but in a dis guised form would commit a terrible injustice on the people of Edinburgh. Sir A. CAMPBELL stated that it was his intention to vote against the bill. (Cries of "Divide.") Mr. COWAN hoped the house would at once come to a division. (Divide.) Mr. SCOTT rose to express his reasons for voting against the bill, but had only spoken five minutes when four o'clock arrived, when the Speaker left the chair, and the house stood adjourned until six o'clock. The SPEAKER resumed the chair at six o'clock. An HON. MEMBER moved that the house be counted, and there being only 26 members present, the house was adjourned until to-morrow at 12 o'clock.

In duty paid parcels not much business was done ; at the same time there is no decline. CHlCORY.—Opinion is still unfavourable towards the article, and prices are yet on the decline, consumption de creasing, and there is a plentiful supply ; root can be ob tained at 10110 s to 121, and powder at 221 to 251 per ton.

This great annual contest—the anxiety almost of the season —was, despite the wretched weather, commenced at Lord's yesterday. There were a great many persons present, and, but for the rain, the attendance would have been, as usual, vast. There was a large muster of the members of the Marylebone Club, amongst whom we noticed the Earl of Winterton, Lord Francis Gordon, Lord Guernsey, Lord Burieigh, Lord Drumlanrig, Lord Paget, the Hon. F. Ponsonby, the Hon. R. Grimston, the Hon. F. Cavendish, the Hon. Colonel Liddell, the Hon. D. Astley, the Hon. Colonel Stanley, the Hon. R. Neville, the Hon. E. Baring, Sir F. Bathurst, Sir Hume Campbell, Colonel Pole, &c. The Gentlemen took the bat first, notwithstanding th e heavy showers, Mr. Nicholson and the Hon. S. Pon sonby commencing operations. The total score of the " Gentlemen," with five wickets down, was 95. The score stood thus : First Innings. GENTLEMEN. W. Nicholson, Esq., c Box, b Clarke ......... 14 Hon. S.

The father dared the station -master to interfere. One of the county ma gistrates coming up at the time was also appealed to. He, however was unable to interfere, and the young ladies were carried off. We believe that the magistrate telegraphed to London for advice, and received an an swer from Sir Richard Mayne that no law at present in force Could sanction interference, unless the persons were paupers. This strange tale we have on good au thority ; and, from information, which we are not at liberty to give, we believe that the matter will be more inquired into immediately.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS ARE •SURPRISING REMEDIES FOR THE CURE OF BAD LEGS.—Mrs. Sarah Ashby, of Knowsley, had been a sufferer for a considerable time from a bad leg of a very , alarming description. Several medical gentlemen at tended her, and she had recourse also to other remedies usually adopted in such cases, but all were of no avail, and after being reduced to a very distressing condition from continual pain and suffering, she was induced to try Holloway's Ointmentland Pills, and these astonish ing medicines effected a perfect cure in a comparatively short time by strictly following the directions given with them.
