hear.) He repeated that no reason had been assigned for resisting the motion, and he should certainly support it. Mr. VERNON SMITH said, if the hon. gentleman were ' to press his motion, he, for one, would vote in favour of it. 1 As to the question of economy, something might be said on both sides ; but one thing was certain, that if the pro posed change were made a great reduction of clerks would follow. The house, after a few words from Sir R. INGLIS and Mr. NEWDEGATE, divided— For the clause 72 100 Against it _ Majority Sir C. WOOD then moved the following clause :—" In stead of the yearly sums allowed under the bye-laws of the said company to the chairman, deputy-chairman, and other directors, for their attendance upon the business of the said company, there shall be allowed to the chairman, deputy-chairman, and directors, under this act, tre yearly sums following (that is to say) :—To the chairman 1,500/. a year, to the deputy-chairman 1 ,5001. a year, and to every other director 1,000/. a year. " The clause was read a first and second time, and being a money clause the house went into committee on it, Mr. BotreERIE in the chair. Mr. HADFIELD opposed the clause, thinking the sala ries originally proposed sufficiently high. He moved that the sum of 1,0001. be the salary of the chairman, instead of 1,5001. Mr. HUME seconded the amendment. Mr. VANSITTART supported the amendment, on the ground that the Parliament was bound to deal tenderly with the money, not of the people of England, but of India. Sir R..H. INGLIS opposed the amendment. Mr. MALINS supported the clause. He considered that if they were to have gentlemen perfectly qualified to perform the office of directors of a great company, they ought to be properly remunerated ; and that it was, there fore,, beneath the dignity of the House of Commons to cavil at the salary proposed by the Government. Mr. A. PELLATT was inclined to regard the position of a director as one not to be remunerated by pecuniary advantages, but rather through its dignities and honours. These gentlemen were not to be treated as mere officials, who had no other sources of emolument, for it had never for a moment been concealed that. they were not otherwise most actively engaged. Mr. BLACKETT objected altogether to the payment of the directors by patronage, and could not help protest ing against the system of paying them first by direct pecu niary remuneration, and afterwards by patronage. Mr. BRIGHT said, that the alteration proposed by the right hon. gentleman the President of the Board of Con trol, went to show that the time and energies of the direc tors were to he entirely given up to Indian affairs. But that was a fallacy, for the business got into the hands of those in authority, namely, the chairman and deputy chairman. He (Mr. Bright) had recently read in a work entitled " City Men, and City Measures,' a description of the advantages enjoyed by directors of the Bank of Eng land, and the East India House, which were sure to be followed by their being directors of various joint stock banking companies, and railway companies to no end. Mr. Russell Ellice, the chairman of the East India Company ; Major Oliphant, Henry Alexander, and SirJ. W. Hogg had various other appointments, such as directors of the Pro vincial Bank of Ireland, of the Bank r'f British North America, of the Alliance Assurance Company, the New Zealand Company, and others without number. (Hear, hear.) Now, it was quite clear that unl,ss all those com panies were shams, the directors were shams likewise, be cause it was utterly impossible they could do their duty to all these establishments. Independently of all this, as members of the House of Commons, it was well known that the task of sitting there from four o'clock to one or two the next morning, was no common one, independently of private correspondence with constituents, committees, &c., &c. If the right hon. gentleman with the President of the Board of Control had about him six or seven gentle men well acquainted with India, it woahl form as good and as sensible a government of India as it was possible to have in this country ; and in that case he should not object to their having 1,0001. or 1.5001. a year. They would be worth any money indeed. At present, however, they were proposing a largely increased salary to these officers, which was to come out of the revenue of India, without givin , back to the I n di ans any thi ng b e tt er th an th e y h a d had.' For that reason he should vote against the clause, if it came to a division. Lord J. MANNERS said he conceived the right hon. gentleman had not stated any sufficient reason for pro posing an increased salary ; fur it was not enough to say in support of his proposition, that it had been framed to meet the views of the majority of those who had had com munications with him on the subject. Sir CHARLES WOOD wished to explain that on this subject he had not held any communication with the East India Company, but he bad taken this step in consequence of its having been observed by more than one member that the Government scale of salary was too low. and several communications ha I been addressed.to him, stating expli citly that 5)0/. was an insufficient sum to secure the ser vices of the best men for India. Mr. V. SMITH said, that when the salary first proposed by the Government was named, he thought it quite con temptible, when compared with the scale of salaries of which they had experienced in this country, and he could have wished that there had been proposed a different scale of salaries for the directors. However, it was a mistake to say that patronage was no advantage, that a director was paid in power, just as the noble lord below him was paid in power (as he presumed he had no salary for his services) and as every ambitious man was paid by power. Theyhad a certain distribution of patronage, which they might turn to their own advantage by exercising it in favour of their family or relatives. These were not matters for the house to be hankering about. He believed that the expression of the house was adverse to the increase of salary, and therefore he should advise his right hon. friend to abide by his former proposition. Lord J. RUSSELL said, no reason could be given for fixing on these peculiar sums, and when the hon. member for Manchester said that the salary should be 2,0001., in certain circumstances there was as little reason for that proposition as there was for fixing it at 1,0001. In fact these sums depended very much on hon. gentlemen's esti mates of the expenses which a person was liable to who undertook these offices. It had been very truly said that the difficulty of the matter had been complicated by the introduction of the nominees of the Crown, but there was the authority of many persons well acquainted with Indian affairs, and particularly of Lord Hardinge, ft*. some such step to enable servants of the company coming borne from India to obtain seats in the direction. Therefeie, if they proposed to fix the salary at 3001. or at 5001. for an official who had come home, be might say, " I have had a great deal of work in India—l am fatigued. I have only accumulated a small fortune. I prefer living quietly, and, in justice to my family, I do not know that I can take upon myself the expenses of the office now offered to me at that salary." It would be no answer to make to him or say to him, " Well, but you will have patronage." Patronage, in such a case, would be no great consideration. It was not Very satisfactory to those who had to make propositions, to find their propositions disapproved of as being too large, whereas it had just before been denounced as too smal. He owned he felt rather indifferent as to the fate of this proposal, but he would express the opinion that he was in clined to think it the best. The committee divided on the question that the salary be 1,5001. a year, and the numbers were— For the clause B3 Against it 99 Majority against —l6 Sir C. WOOD then moved to fill up the clause so as to make the Deputy Chairman's salary 1,0001. and the Direc tors' 5001. The clause then passed through committee, and the re port was ordered to be brought up. The house havir g resumed, the report was received, and the clause ordered to stand part of the bill. Mr. BRIGHT asked was he at liberty to move a clause making the seat of a member elected to a seat at the new India Board vacant by virtue of such election ? Sir C. WOOL) said there could not be the slightest doubt that such would be the operation of the bill. Persons ap pointed to seats at the India Board would vacate their seats in Parliament, but they would be re-eligible. The clause was therefore unnecessary, and it was consequently undesirable to introduce it. Mr. BRIGHT, under these circumstances, should not press it. Mr. WISE then moved that clause 29, limiting the Eurojean troops in the company's service, should be omitted from the bill. He thought it was highly objection able, in a constitutional point of view, to have English troops in India, which were not under the control of the House of Commons. The clause would impair the effi ciency of the English army also. The question was whe ther the troops in India should be Imperial forces or forces under the control of the India Company. He saw a great, disadvantage in the double military system that now pre vailed, especially when it was known that the effect of a permanent stay in India deprechted the discipline of the soldier. He sh ou ld b e t o ld, p er h a p s , th a t Lord Dalhousie had recommended this measure on account of the war in better ram ; but if th a t were so , h e th oug ht it wou ld b e if the Royal troops were engaged in those operations than the nati ve troops.He trusted right hon. gentle man would be able to explain the clause, and why he thought it was preferable to allow the East India Company to increase the number of their troops than to employ the royal troops in India. He begged to move that clause 29 be expunged from the bill. Sir C. WOOD stated he had said nothing upon the sub ject of this clause previou s l y , to it, and he thought it because no o n e had o bj ec t e d was most unusual course for the hon. gentleman now to move that it be struck out. With regard to the question raised the hon. gentleman's mo tion, he begged to statem a t t tls East India Company's t roo ps amounted to n o ore the present moment than they did 70 years ago, whilst the Queen's troops had been ver y greatly increased in th at period. of Lord Dal rectors had given no opinion up on g; subject. The clause The Court of Di to had been framed upon the reco mmendation bowie, and its effect would be simplyadd one regiment in each presidency to the forces of the com and the en tire number of men would be under s,ooN an Y' After a few words from Sir DE LACY Ev th A Ns motion for exp un g in g the clause was negatived , thew bill w as passed amidst the general cheering o f the UNIVERSITIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. II". The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 2 being read, which contains the form of test to be taken under the bill, Mr. LOCKHART moved an amendment extending the test to the chairs of moral philosophy and natural p hi le . soph. The y LORD ADVOCATE opposed the amendment, which was negatived without a division. insertion Mr. F. SCOTT then move d the in the text of the words " upon the true faith of a Christian," with the view of securing for the youth who were to be educated in these institutions, the instructions of those who were attached to the Christian religion. Ile should certainly take a division on the amendment, but he hoped the learned Lord Advocate would consent to it. The question having been put, Mr. NEWDEGATE would have liked to have heard why the Lord Advocate objected to the insertion of the words proposed. The question was, did they intend to give to the people of Scotland a valid test to exclude per sons who were not Christians from being placed in the chairs of the universities. The LORD ADVOCATE said he had made the modifi cations in the declaration which it had undertaken to make. He thought it most undesirable in the present state of society to establish a test of religious belief for persons appointed to those chairs in the universities of Scotland. Mr. E. LOCKHART said, after what had taken place, he felt bound to support the declaration as it stood. M r . S. WORTLEY would support the proposed amend ment., not that he wished to exclude by such a test any particular sect of Christians, but because he thought it would be repugnant to the feelings of the people of Scot land if the words were not inserted. Mr. LOCKHARE said that those universities had suf fered more from a belief that infidelity had not been auf- He hoped that the co mm i ttee fi e i en tly discouraged. would assent to the proposition of his hon. friend (Mr. Scott.) Mr. V. SCULLY complained of the offensive manner in which the hon. member for North Warwick hire (Mr. Newdegate) was in the habit of referring to the r ligion of Roman Catholics. Mr. NEWDEGATE denied having intended to say any thing at all offensive to the religion professed by the hon. and learned member for Cork. Mr. PERCY supported the amendment. Mr. DUNLOP, though as anxious as any man could be for the. establishment of a religions and moral education, looked upon those tests as absolutely worthless for the pur pose for which they were intended. Colonel BLAIR said he wished the insertion of the words proposed simply for the purpose of having a Chris tian test recognised. The committee then divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment 37 Against it Bl Majority against the amendment —44 Mr. F. SCOTT said he would leave to Scotland to judge of the naked, open infidelity which was encouraged by their representatives who supported the abolition of a Christian test for their professors. Lord W. GRAHAM asked the Chancellor of the Exche• quer whether he was prepared to abolish the Christian tests in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that when that question was fairly brought before the house, he would be prepared to state the course he would recommend iu respect to the tests in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Clauses 2 and 3 were then agreed to. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the house resumed. POOR RELIEF ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill passod through committee. TRANSPORTATION BILL.

SEYMER moved the issue of a new writ for the election of a representative for this borough. Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not think it would be right under existing circumstances to order the issue of the writ. The commission which had been appointed to in quire into the mode in which the late election for Canter bury had been conducted had received a large amount of evidence upon the subject ; but they had not yet made their report, and the house had had no opportunity of considering the evidence which had been laid before the commissioners. He should, therefore, move as an amend ment to the proposition of the hon. member opposite, that no writ should be issued for the borough of Canterbury until the next session of Parliament. Sir W. JOFLIFFE objected to the postponement of the issue of the writ for so long a period. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he could not consent to withdraw his amendment. Ho should, however, offer no opposition to the postponement of the debate upon the question under their consideration for a few days. The debate was accordingly postponed. The house then adjourned at half-past two o'clock. Mr. FOLEY has paired with Lord Lewisham from Ist of August for the remainder of the session. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-JuLY 29.

Martin, C. 8., was honoured by a private visit of inspection last evening from Prince Albert, who came up from Osborne in the Fairy Royal yacht, Captain Crispin. No standard was hoisted, nor any salute fired. This extraordinary steam three-decker went 12 knots steadily under steam, and all plain sail during her late cruise, and, after break ing off short both fans of her propeller the day before she came into port, she made 10 knots an hour up to Spithead with case I The Agamemnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., rejoins the fleet to-night. We are enabled, on wha we consider the soundest authority, to reiterate our statement of her Majesty's intention to inspect this fleet, but the precise day for the spectacle is not yet determined. Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, has proceeded to Pembroke to investigate the cause of the disastrous accident to the CEesar, 91, recently attempted to be launched at that port. Commodore Schroeder, of the Prussian frigate Gefion, accompanied by. Vice• Consul Vandenbergh, embarked in the Consulate yacht, and landed this morning, to be presented to the acting Port-Admiral, &c. The Vulcan, iron screw troop ship, Commander Von Donop, returned to Spithead yesterday evening, after landing at Cowes the reserve battalion of the 23d Regi ment, consisting of Lieutenant-Colonel Chester, 19 officers, and 470 rank and file, whom she brought from Quebec. The Plumper, 11, screw-sloop, is ordered to be com missioned at this port by Commander J. A. L. Whar ton, for foreign service. PLYMOUTH, JULY 29. The officers of the Queen of the South mail steam packet, which arrived this morning, and the military and other passengers by that ship, speak in the highest terms of the courteous attention paid to them at St. Vincent, on the passage home, by the Commodore of the American frigate Constitution. • The French merchant ship Jeune Edouard, Captain Bertin, which left Bourbon on the 24th of February with a cargo for France, sprung a leak on the 28th, and put into St. Augustine's Bay. The King of that part, with 1,500 or 1,600 armed natives, laid claim imme diately to the ship, because she was in distress. Capt. Bertin, to pacify the pirates, gave them $4OO, and wisely sent a courier to St. Augustin's Bay, to the com mander of her Majesty's brig Grecian, who, although about, to proceed on a cruise, changed his course, went to the assistance of Captain Bertin, assembled the chiefs, and, having declared his intentions, effectually protected the French ship, her crew, and cargo. The Bioodhound, 3, Lieut.-Commander H. Christian, which arrived yesterday, left Sierra Leone 11th June ; St. Vincent, 21st June ; Teneriffe, 2d July ; Madeira, 12th July ; and Lisbon, 21st July. After being put in commission she sailed from Plymouth on the '2oth of February, 1851, and, touching at Lisbon and Madeira, arrived at Sierra Leone on the 29th of March, and has been since constantly cruising in the Bights and on the West Coast of Africa. On the 6th of July, 1851, she captured in New Calabar River the slave schooner Desceada, fully equipped ; and on the 24th of December she was effectually engaged off Lagos, her boats going up the rivers. In November, 1852, off Shebar River, she captured a schooner, name unknown, which was taken to Sierra Leone and condemned. In April last the Bloodhound was engaged in the same river, settling disputes between two chiefs, Ibboboo Salafoo and Califa and some American missionaries, regard ing the rent of a house and land. The crew sur prised arid spiked a gun while the chiefs were hold ing a parley, and the affair was thus speedily settled to the satisfaction of the missionaries. George Saxton, gunner's mate, was killed by the concussion of the gun. The late Commander of the Bloodhound, Lieutenant-Commander Patey, died of fever on the 4th of March, 1852. Mr J. Ways, Second Master, took temporary command until May, when Lieutenant-Corn ma.:(ler H. Christian, from the Wolverine, was appointed. Dr. J. Angus died of fever on the 10th of April, and Mr. Palmer, clerk in charge, has been the only person doing medical duty since. Mr. Waye took charge of the Desceada. at Calabar, piloted the Teazer over the bar into Lagos River, 24th December, 1851, and subsequently assisted the British Consul, Mr. Bancroft, in making treaties and forming port rezulationa for New and Old Calabar and other rivers. The boilers of the Bloodhound are worn through, and 51b. only steam pressure can be obtained. The Camel lighter, with Mr. Brown and a party of riggers, proceeds to-day from Plymouth for Pembroke. They will first assist in the endeavour to float the Caesar, and then bring to this port the Squirrel brig. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD. Orders have been issued that the Squirrel sloop, of 12 guns, is to be launched on the 4th of August. She has been on the stocks building for a length of time, and is now ready to be sent afloat. This will be the fourth launch at this yard daring the present season. The Caesar is a much shorter vessel than the James Watt, and yet the breadth is nearly alike in both vessels, which are of the same rating. The James Watt i 5,230 feet between the perpendiculars, and the Caesar only 207 feet. The tonnage keel in the James Watt is 194 feet, while the Csar is only 170 feet. It is a very ge neral opinion that the Caesar would prove a much better and faster vessel if properly lengthened, and her breadth is amply sufficient to warrant the alteration. WOOLWICH, JULY 29 APPOINTMENTS. The appointment of Commander Edward K. Barnard, announced yesterday, to command the Philomel, 8, sloop, at Devonport, has been raneellPd. Commander Alexander G. West (1848), to command the Philomel, vice Barnard. Lieutenant Hugh M. Elliot (1847), to the Ajax, 53, screw steam-ship, at Portsmouth. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT. BODMIN, JULY 27. MURDER.-SENTENCE OF DEATH Jane Menworth,, 17 years of age, was indicted for the wilful murder of William Beard, in the parish of Pro bus, on the 14th of June last. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. William Beard, with whose murder the prisoner stood charged, was an illegitimate infant, born last March. Its mother and the prisoner had known each other as inmates of the Union workhouse. The child bad been entrusted by its mother to the prisoner for an hour or so, but the mother, instead of returning to take care of it, left it a burden to the accused. The latter, it was proved, made many attempts to get it properly off her her hands. She took it to the police station, and In spector Nash directed her to take it to the union. She went there, but was told that they could not admit the child without an order from an overseer. She re turned between nine and ten o'clock, telling Inspector Nash that she had rung the bell at the union three times, but that no one had answered it, and she could not be admitted at that time of night. The inspector then gave her a shilling, and told her to go back to the lodg ing-house in Calenick street, and call at the station on the following morning, and he would go with her to the union. She did not, however, call at the police station on the Tuesday morning, and did not apply at the union. Shortly afterwards the child was found in a mill-head, drowned. The child had' been seen in pri soner's care a little before, and the prisoner was known to have come from the neighbourhood of the mill with out it. She was apprehended, and afterwards made a confession to the landlady of the inn where she was in custody, to the effect that the child was cross, that she was tired of carrying it, and she dabbed it down into the mud and water and went away. She also confessed to the man who was conveying her in a van to Bodmin prison after committal, that she had placed the child in the water and went on her way. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The learned Judge. in a very affecting manner, then pronounced sentence of death upon the prisoner, who was greatly excited and cried violently. An intense sensation was occasioned amongst the spectators of the painful scene. The prisoner was with great difficulty removed from the bar. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. IPSWICH, JULY 28. THE BACTON MURDER. William, Flack, aged 18,' and described in the calen dar as a labourer, was charged with the wilful murder of Maria Steggles, of Bacton. The prisoner, who is a sim ple looking country lad, pleaded not guilty. The village of Bacton it about four or five miles from Stowmarket, on the road between Haughley and Dotes dale. The deceased was about 67 years of age, and was housekeeper to the Rev. Mr. Barker, a gentleman very much advanced in life, being upwards of 80 years of age. The rectory house, where the murder was committed, is distant about a mile and a quarter from the church. On Sunday morning, the Bth of May, the service at the church commenced as usual, at about half-past ten o'clock. On that day, the only domestics at the rectory were Maria Steggles, the housekeeper, and a housemaid named Percy, with the exception of a man named Proc tor, who was engaged to saddle Mr. Barker's horse, that he might ride to church, but this man did not reside in the house. Proctor came at his usual hour in the morning to saddle the horse, and after he bad done so he left, and proceeded in the direction of the church. The housemaid, Sarah Percy, soon after left the rectory, and was shortly followed by Mr. Barker, upon his horse, both of whom went to church. The only person left in the rectory was the housekeeper, Maria Steggles, left to prepare the dinner for the rector on his return. When the rector came back the housekeeper was lying on her back upon the floor, her skull beaten in, there being eight wounds on her head. Her throat was cut, and a pool of blood was close by. A poker, with which tnoi verdictf kill 84tc h. 0 the deceased. the wounds on the head seemed to have been inflicted, was missing. A sword, with which the throat had been cut, was found naked and bloody. The prisoner was seen going to the rectory on the morning of the occurrence, and also returning some time ,fterwards. He had formerly been employed there. He had been often heard to dis cuss with earnestness the possibility of identifying the property which had disappeared from the rectory. It was -proved that before the murder the prisoner was , :3u t e c li as rin ei g i.i s n , shirt of money, whereas immediately after he was i t n nh, a e k e i i n Ni,e g iaa l re a dn r e g i large purchases.

This most brilliant meeting closed iii the presence of a distinguished circle of fashionables, and with an abund ance of sport of a very attractive and interesting charac ter. By the " fielders" the meeting will be long remem bered with peculiar satisfaction, trimly chances which were considered "dead certainties" against them having resulted greatly in ftvour of the profit side of their books. The weather until just before the last race was run, was delightfully favourable ; a small shower of rain then suddenly caused the outsiders to beat a hasty retreat on the scone qui peat principle. It was however soon over, and all was fine again. To speak of the business arrangements may be deemed an act of supererogation ; we must, however, award a full measure of praise to Mr. J. F. Clark, the Judge ; Mr. Manning, the Clerk of the Scales ; and Mr. E. Hibl,urd, the Starter ; their respective duties were per formed in the most efficient manner possible ; and al though several of the fields were to an extent which re quired extraordinary care and attention, time was punc tually kept and order admirably maintained. The staff of police constables, under the direction of Inspectors Barker and Stiaw and Sergeant Langley of the detective force, assisted by Sergeant Loom, 8., and Sergeant Quinnear, P., did excellent service. Whilst some kept the course in the most praiseworthy manner, others in the highways and byeways of the park were so vigilantly on the qui vire that the knights of industry found their occupation gone. The meeting was brought to the ending post as fol lows : MATCH, 501., h ft. T.Y.C.
