"in proot of Ids views ho (Mr. Courtenay) has g i ven the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad as any which Mr. Syine adduced, and on which he had operated. Such are cases ix., xi., ail., and zvill. 1C o. ix. had rcs sted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilltation, and was finally re novod in as twiny weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the treatment adopted by Mr, Courtenay proved eminently saccesifav —Professor Lizars on the Treatment of Stricture, 1 .- A e - , H--- -- 7 - 7---.= ..- ..---- ----- ~.--- . •i ' _-> • , .. . . ~.„,,... . ..," ,-r .- - t , t ..• , '7, 7" T .

I think it right to state this to the house, for the purpose of allaying the alarm and apprehension which the speech of the noble lord is calculated to excite. (Cheers.) The statement I have made is from Mr. Hale's son, and I believe it to be perfectly cornet. (Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT—I thought the lion. member for Fins bury asked the noble lord a question ? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. DUNCOMBE—Yes, I ask the noble lord if he does not know this to be so ? Mr. BRIGHT.—WeII, I will ask him a question too. (Laughter.) It is known to every person, whatever opinion he may have of M. Kossuth's conduct in Hun gary, America, or elsewhere, that the character of such a man must be dear to himself, and that the press ought not, without occasion, to defame him. (Hear, hear, and ironical ch eer i n g.) I w i s h t o as k t h e noble lord, therefore, whether the matter be as the noble lord has described it, or as the hon. member for Finsbury has described it ? whether M. Kossuth is, by any evidence before the noble lord, in any degree compromised in this matter, more than any member of the Orleans party now in this country ? (Cheers.) I have a right to ask this question. I have been on a platform with that dis tinguished individual--(laughter and cheers)—and al• though nothing would induce me to say that liberty is more likely to be promoted by having recourse to arms than by another course of proceeding which much more recommends itself to my judgment and principles, yet I should be extremely sorry, here or elsewhere, without proof, to make it necessary to disavow my 'Connection with or my admiration of much that I know of that dis tinguished person. (Loud cheers.) I feel, therefore, as many other persons must feel, that I have some interest in knowing whether those statements which appear in a most powerful organ of the press, which is often sup posed to speak from intimate knowledge of the intentions of the Government, are true or not. I have, I say, a Justification when I ask the noble lord whether there is any grou n d w h atever—cr any proof whatever —that M. Kossuth is compromised in, or was or is in any manner connected with, this affair ? (Hear, hear.) And I wish to have an explicit answer—(a laugh)—because I think it is - due to that perso n that, immediately after the ch arge has been made in th e press, and is now travelling over the world, if there be an answer which would clear him from doing what I think would be unjustifiable in this country, that that answer should be given, that his cha racter should be cleared, and that his exculpation should be circulated as widely as the charge. (Cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON.---"With regard to the ques tion put by my hon. friend (Mr. Duncornbe), h e rea ll y did seem to me to know so much more ab out the matter than alnthat answer ifthere werebetween us,be I a n oughtinterchange to of ques tion be the ques tioner, and he the answerer. (Loud laughter.) It i s out of disrespect, I can assure him, that it did not answer the question he put to me. I must refer him to his own knowledge, and not to mine, for an answer. (Laughter.) Mr. DUNCOMBE.—Does not the noble lord know that these are the patent war rockets that Mr. Hale offered to sell the Government ? Lord PALMERSTON.—I really do not know. :.(Im mense cheering.) Mr. DUNCOMBE.—WiII the noble lord inform the house to whom the premises belong ? Lord PALMERSTON.—Though I am in extreme ignorance upon the point, I do not mean to dispute the assertion of my hon. friend, that this has been a rocket manufactory for the last six years. (Hear, hear.) It is very possible. I do not know. With regard to the question of the hon. member for Manchester, as to M. Kossuth, I am quite sure that the house will feel that in the present stage of these proceedings it is not proper to enter into details. It is out of no disrespect to him. I have cast no imputation on him. I have not done so on any person. I have stated - that it remains to be ascer tained to whom these premises belong, and who were the parties chiefly concerned in this manufacture. But lam quite sure that, upon reflection, my honourable friend will feel, and I am sure the house will feel that it is not proper for me to enter into these details at the present moment. (Hear, hear, murmurs, and cries of " oh."). Lord. D. STUART.—It is no doubt a very con venient course, when a question is put in this house, which it does not suit him explicitly to answer or enlarge upon, for a Minister to indulge in the exer cise of humour and pleasantry, especially when he possesses those qualities in so high a degree as my noble friend. (Hear, hear.) The fact is, that my noble friend is very much in the habit of having recourse to this expedient—(hear,hear)--and sometimes, I think in a manner which, though enjoyed by the house at the time, it does not altogether approve of. (Hear, hear.) Whether the question at issue be the miscon duct of some judge on the bench, who has suffered him self to be betrayed by his temper into passing a cruel sentence on a miserable culprit—or whether it be the character of a man unhappily in exile, although perhaps illustrious on account of the patriotism he has displayed-- (hear, hear)—still my noble friend is ever ready —and I presume to say sometimes too ready—with jokes, which, while they may divert the house for a moment, are cal culated to raise my noble friend in the estimation neither of the house nor the country. (Loud cheers.) And's has it been on the present occasion. (Hear, hear.) But, in reply to the last question put to my noble friend, I observe that he has declined casting any imputation upon the distinguished individual alluded to. He has particularly said that he casts no imputation'lrPoli any person whatever. So far, then, so good ; but up t o th e present time, notwithstanding the heavy charge that has been laid against M. K ossu th tsythe 'press, that charge has not been supported by her Majesty's Government. (Cheers.) The noble lord has now, at any rate, refused to endorse that charge. (Cheers.) Now, I think it is due to the distinguished individual alluded to, and also to this house and the public, that, possessing some infor mation upon the subject, I should state it as far as it goes. I . must say, then, with regard to that distin guished person, whatever may be thought of his political conduct, that I see no reason whatever, why those who have hitherto approved of and admired him —and I am certainly one—should now withdraw from hint their re spect. If the government can fix upon him any impro per conduct, then will be the time to alter their opinion ; but until that period arrives I shall not in any degree regard him with less admiration and respect. (Cheers.) Sir, I am able t o s t a t e th at M . K ossuth himself denies all knowledg e of these transactions (hear, hear), and that he has declared in writing that he had no knowledge whatever of them until this morning, when the paper was shown him, which has, to say the least of it, so hastily given currency to them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. AGLIONBY—I know nothing of this case. (Laughter.) I should like to know if any gentleman opposite knows more. (Renewed laughter.) But al though I know nothing of the case or of M. Kossuth— although I never saw these statements, or heard of them until I carne into this hou se and heard the remarks which have been made to-night, a sense of justice which I think every Englshman ought to feel compels me to express my opinion the subject. (Hear, hear.) Ido not in the slightest degree deny that the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) is perfectly right in not going into any of the points asked him with regard to the inquiry. These are matters for future consideration and inves tigation. But I have a right to say this, that it is ex ceedingly hard upon any exile from another country, who takes refuge in this, to be charged, as M. Kossuth has been charged in the article appearing in one of the morning papers, with an offence, as if the offence were proved ; whereas, by the statement of the noble lord, that is not at all the case. The statement is, "That a house in the occupation of M. Kossuth was searched yesterday morning at an early hour by the competent authorities, acting, we presume, under the Secretary of State's warrant, and the result of this investigation was the discovery of a large store of arms, ammunition, and materials of war, which may be the stock in trade of a political incendiary, but certainly form no part of the household goods of a private gentleman living in pacifi retirement." Now, I beg to ask if I understood what the noble lord stated ? I thought I heard him say dis tinctly that it w.tl not the house of M. Kossuth—not ' his dwelling-house; and that tl:e statement in the paper rests, therefore, upon wrong information. No .r, wish to call the public attention to this circumstance—that i‘ it has been negatived that the house is the house of Kossuth, and that at this moment nothing is established I. against M. Kossuth. This being so, I think it is most desirable for the credit of the country, and with all deference for the great organs of public information, i of that it is also due to the credit of the paper in which the statement has appeared, that the correction , state ment itself. (Hear, hear.) th e djournmant of the house a t it s for a The motion. statement should be circulated as widely as the risiws until Monday was then agreed to. AFFAIRS OF INDIA. Mr. J. PHILLIMORE wished to' ask the President of the Board of Control, whether any steps have been taken to investigate the charges made by Hudall Seth f M A r b g G ra ub ; b a ts d , superior Mr. joint magistrate iasitildahteis immediate ed m ia a t: i of Bellungury, 11th July, 1850, at Agra, against Mr. whether those gentlemen. still hold official situations in India. t C h . e l3 j . Sir C. "WOOD said the matter was still under inves tigation by officers who had be purpose by th e Governor-Generalen aProinted for the AUSTRALIAN MAIL. Mr. MUNTZ wished to ask the • First Lord of the Admiralty, whether the steam-ship back to Liverpool in a s l aluci-ship Osmanli had not put mails she was to have carrieda yforsttahtee,and whether fd H the had not been transferred to the General Capeo Screw o o)Com pany's ship Indiana, to sail for the Cape and Calcutta to-morrow : what arrangement, if any, has been now made for the carriage of the m a il s t o A ustral i a ; are they to be tak en b y the Argo, belonging to the Screw Steam Company, which ship sails on the 4th day of May ? Sir J. GRAHAM said, with regard to the first ques tion, it was quite true what the hon. member had stated; but, with regard to the second ques ti on, a ll that he could state was that the whole matter was now undergoing a thorough investigation by the Post-office authorities. [PRICE SD. Passing them. We had arrived at a great crisis in the matter of railways, and, inasmu c h, as th ere was every pr os p ec t of all the lines falling into one management, if nothing of this sort was done, it was for the benefit of the public that these resolutions, which would have the effect of suspending amalgamation bills, should be passed. Mr. WADDINGTON believed that, in reference to the railway interest, these resolutions w ere o f a hi g hl y c onservative character, and he had no d ou bt th at t h e i r adoption would alike ' benefit the public and the share holders. They would have the effect of preventing the proposal of speculative schemes ; and although at the first blush the resolution might appear to be exceedingly objectionable, he yet thought that on reflection they would be found to be the best adopted for promoting the prosperity of the public, as well as the railway interest. Mr. LAING- must say that the committee in this case had arrived at a sound and sensible conclusion in recommending the postponement of these amalgamation bills. The railway interest at stake was too vast to be hurriedly disposed of, and since of late years the legisla tion of the house in reference to railways had been ex tremely short-sighted, he thought the house could not do better now than adopt these resolutions. Mr. CARDWELL could only say, that the commit tee had not as yet sufficiently investigated the gua ge t q i u oT e n s h t te i o o r n tehs a eo s tol house o justify tiuosne s s tfy h upon N i ver t e e th m it. e n agr remarking e any recommenda ed to . ~Y ~ ARTERIAL DRAINAGE. In reply to Captain DUNNE, Sir J. YOUNG said the subject of introducing arte rial drainage into Ireland was now under the considera tion of the Irish Government. JEWISH DISABILITIES.

ON THE DEPOSIT SYSTEM. Hun able to pay, or not desirous of paying or omitting topay,thePo- Hey would still remain of its FULL value, 522/.22.7d.ti1l death, if 20 years after, no fur ther payment beingre gifted. Ifhowever the party, from any cause, wished to cancel the Policy, ho could not onlydraw out all hehas put in, viz., 2251., but 0 /I.los Od 2:5/. 5221.257 d 2871. 2s. 9d. a certain bonus of 62/. 25. 9d. In the bargain, which is more than one-fourth of the whole of his payments, or he could either draw out a part, 201. or 501., diminishing the Policy only by the assured value of the sum se drawn out at the age when withdrawn. See pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person ander the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, via., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. Idly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from it. up to the whole amount of his previous penitents and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards, raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the itargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that ho gets inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive mere than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do DO such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment ho ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any tund to fly to for aid, all his hats-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his m or efortu:nafe co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles are imper ially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the :lands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor le case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A - BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system aro still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are In exist- , cure secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless medifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated w:thout incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be remove I, and how the evil and its con- equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot app:y a cure. tree.

" In case of any railway bill to which neither of the foregoing provisions may be found to apply, a special pro vision for effectually securing, as nearly as may be, in accordance with the same, the completion and opening of the railway to which the bill relates." The hon. member said these resolutions were the result of the unanimous opinion of a committee, appointed id 'te beginning of the session to consider not only no' the least important question, but one of the most difficui ' questions which had ever been submitted to the house. At the beginning of the session the house found that it had to deal with 167 railway bills, 82 of which in ' volved combinations of interests between different com panies. In order to understand the magnitude of the interests at stake, he instanced the case of the London and North-Western Company, which contemplated an arrange ' ment that involved a raised capital of about 60,000,0001. annual revenue of about 4,000,0001., and the possession of 1,200 miles of railway which embraced the whole of the leading lines of communication north of the Thames. The hon. member also alluded to an arrangement pro posed by the Great Western Company to the adoption of an uniform gunge, and to other arrangements with re gard to railways in Scotland and Ireland. Altogether the house had to dealwith 2,200,0001. of capital already raised, as well as considerable sums yet to be raised under acts of Parliament, with 15,000,0001. of annual revenue, which was annually increasing, and with the freedom, economy, safety, and convenience of passengers in this kingdom, of whom 85,000,000, by the last return, moved from one place to another in the year. They had likewise - to-deal-with the whole transit of goods in the country, and also with the complaints of the holders of property, which raised very difficult and complicated questions. Above all, they had to deal with the great question of the public safety, and to ascertain hew lamentable acci dents on railways could be averted for the future. The committee had had arguments:addressed to them on both sides by able and competent men—by those who were in favour of a greater amalgamation of interest, and 14 others who entertained strong apprehensions of the great danger which would result to the community if Parliament parted with any of its powers. The com mittee had carefully considered the whole subject, and they were unanimously of opinion that they could not advise the House to part with any of its powers with respect to the amalgamation of railway companies. There was, however, another question which they had to consider. Many new works were going forward which were promoted by persons interested in the neighbourhoods which they affected, and who earnestly desired that increased railway communication which they expected certain bills now before the house would give them. With such linos the committee were most anxious not to interfere. There was another class of bills, generally called "fighting bills," which were pro moted by projectors who had no notion of completing them, or by companies as measures of offence or defence, or by some speculating lawyer or engineer, who wanted to obtain the sanction of Parliament to a bill in order that he might put it up to auction among different companies. The committee thought that at least for the present session measures should be taken against any trifling with the interests of existing companies or of the public, and they unani mously recommended the house to entirely put a stop to those lines which refused to give any evidence what ever of their sincerity of purpose. These were the two things, and the two things only, to which the resolutions applied. First, they wished to prevent the amalgama tion of companies hitherto incorporated, because it was not yet determined on what conditions the house would permit those amalgamations to take place; and, secondly, they advised the • house not to allow any bill to go forward, which had existence merely on paper, and had no existence in reality for the benefit of the neigh bourhood which it professed to serve. It would be seen, however, that there was a territory, so to speak, to which these two principles could not be applied. They did not intend to prevent the construction of new works which were promoted by united companies, and which the wants of certain districts required, and they had come to the conclusion that that was a particular class of cases which should not be included. A great number of bills of this description was before the house, and they would be excepted from the first resolution. The committee had treated Ireland as an except i onal case, owing to the peculiar circumstances of that country, and to the diffi culty in obtaining capital there to construct railways, and they h a d th oug h t proper to exempt Ireland from i the operation of the second resolution. Mr, WHALLEY said whatever might be the merits of the resolutions, they would operate as a serious check to public enterprise in regard to railways. He thought that neither the house nor the committees of tho house were efficient tribunals to try railway matters, and did not give confidence to those having capital in railways. In his opinion, the only remedy for the present state of things was the appointment of a board, specially consti- tuted, for the purpose of making local inquiries as to the necessity of different railway schemes. Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR differed entirely from the hon. gennleman who had just spoken, when he stated that committees of that house were incapable of dealing with these questions. (Hear, hear.) For nine years he had been connected with railway bills passing through that house, and the difficulty which he found existing in all those cases was not that the committees were incapable of dealing with these questions, but that they had acted without particular instructions. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the time was come when the committees would be dignified, as ho might call it, with instructions embracing general directions as to the principles on which they should act. (Hear, hear.) He would not oppose the resolutions of the right lion. gentleman, but must take the opportunity of saying that there was an omission which he viewed with some concern in the fourth report of the committee. He found no allu sion to the immense depreciation which railway property had experienced. (Hear.) On this point he might state that the capital of 40 English, 9 Scotch, and 13 Irish rail. ways, exclusive of allguaranteed shares, &c., amounted to 132,221,9761. This enormous property was selling in the market for only 109,849,0001., being a depreciation of upwards of 22,370,0001. (Hear, hear.) Now, 12 French railways possessed a capital of 21,244,0001, and the present value was 40,170,0001., an increase of 90 per cent. (Hear, hear.) He asked them if it was not desirable to regard with extreme caution any measures that might have the effect of driving capital from this country to be embarked in foreign investments of the pro fitable character to which he had just referred ? (Hear.) There were schemes presented to the public of foreign and colonial ent3rplise, embracing sums of not less than forty millions of money, to be spent in railway construc tion, and chiefly under a guarantee of a fixed annual interest secured by the governments in whose territories these railways were to be constructed. He hoped the time had arrived when, by the assistance of the dis tinguished members who compose the committee whose resolutions they were about to adopt, the outlay of capital would be as much encouraged and as beneficial at home as abroad. Mr. LABOUCHERE said these resolutions had been most carefully considered by the amalgamation commit tee,aas by whom th e y were unanimously adopted,nd upon the whole, they appeared to be 'satisfactory to the railway interest, the house should have no difficulty in ON THE ORDINARY SYSTEM.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from a place in Aberdeenshire, praying for more stringent provisions in the Ecclesiastical Titles Act ; also a Eetition from a pl ace i n S ussex, an d ot h er par t s o f ngland and Scotland, against the admission of-Jews into Parliament. The Bishop of ROCHESTER presented several peti tions to the same effect. The Earl of EGLINTON gave notice that, on Tues day next, he should move for copies of all the papers relative to the rei ns t a t ement of Mr. Kirwan in the Irish magistracy. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a number of petitions against the admission of Jews into Parlia ment. The Earl of HARROWRY presented a petition from Liverpool, against th e R eg istration of Assurances Bill ; also petitions against the Maynooth grant, and the ad mission of Jews into Parliament. POOR REMOVAL AND LOCAL ASSESSMENT BILL. Lord BERNERS moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which he explained to be to prevent the removal of the poor as allowed by the present law. The effect of the bill would be to prevent great oppres sion to, and immorality among, the poor themselves, and also to put a stop to much litigation, by which great expense was at present caused to the country. Lord STANLEY of Alderley must repeat the request he had made on a former oc9sion—that the noble lord would not persevere in his_ zarition,-as it was the inten tion of the Government to introduce a measure to Par liament embracing the law of settlement, which would embody the views the Government entertained on the subject. He urged this request the more particularly, as it appeared to him that it would be useless to bring in a measure in their lordships' house before it had been dealt with by the House of Commons. The bill pro posed to substitute a national for what had hitherto been a local system of taxation. It imposed rates on extra-parochial places, a proposal which the other House of Parliament might consider some infringement of their privileges. Passing over minor objections to the bill, he woud simply refer to that provision which proposed to transfer certain poor law charges, such as those for vaccination, registration, fees to clergy, &c. Lord BERNERS proposed to leave out that clause. Lord STANLEY of Alderley said that nevertheless the bill proposed to make that national which had hitherto been local, and therefore the other house was not likely .to agree to it. He feared that time would be wasted in attempting to pass any bill in that house be fore it had passed the ordeal of the other. If, there fore, the noble lord felt it to be consistent with his duty, he trusted he would now press the bill. Lord BERNERS was willing to place himself in the hands of the house. The Earl of DERBY said that after the advice of the noble lord opposite (Lord Stanley of Alderley), and con sidering the difficulty surrounding the question, he thought the noble lord (Berners) would best consult the interests of those concerned by leaving the matter in the bands of the Government, at all events, for the present. The subject h'ad engaged the anxious consideration of t t h he late enveloping e nn Government do f the th e case b nobleg; lroe ra u dt t e. they a h wn a a d isi f a o fde u l n ts d ebey t m h t e v d e oa o t se u t l rG t i i k e o e s - It vernment that there were inconveniences and manifold objectio scheme nstot w the presentas one law, of great but the d taskiffiu difficulty. devisinga different After what had taken place, he thought his noble friend would act prudently and wisely if he left the subject in the hands of the Government, and lie should sincerely re joice if they could so grapple with the subject as to ob viate present inconveniences without introducing others. Lord BEAUMONT also suggested the withdrawal of the bill. • The Duke of RICHMOND likewise urged the with drawal of the bill. He thought there was much in it which ought to become law. If the noble lord did not acquiesce in the measure the Government proposed to bring in, it would th en be competent f or hi m to b r i ng i n an amended bill. The motion for the second reading was then with drawn. The report on the Vaccination Extension Bill was brought up. CONSOLIDATED ANNUITIES (IRELAND). The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, after presenting a petition from the union of Galway with respect to these annuities, observed that he was anxious to advert to the present position of the question and the grounds on which he thought the decision of the Government should be based. He had formed one of a numerous body, composed of members of both houses, who, in February last, waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the -purpose of impressing . on him the necessity of the Government dealing m a fair, equitable, and liberal manner with the question of these consolidated annuities. He believed that no question had been more fairly dis cussed than this question by the committee of their lord ships' house. It would have been impossible for moro care or zeal to be bestowed on any subject, and the de putation pressed the recommendations of that committee on the attention of the right hon. gentleman. There had been a distinct pledge given to the deputation that the subject should be decided irrespective of fiscal considera tions, and solely upon its merits. The question was whether it were just, wise and expedient to remit these annuities. But the subject was not, as it seemed, to be dealt with on that basis, for it had recently been denied by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that such a pledge had been given to the deputation, and the right hon. gen tleman had declared that it had been understood that the question of these annuities was to be considered as mixed tip with the general financial arrangements of the year. (Hear.) Now the impression which he (the Marquis of Clanricarde) entertained of what had passed at the inter view alluded to was confirmed by the recollection of every other member of Parliament who was present. (Hear.) And he was certain that no one at all ac quainted with the subject could deny that the question was one of honourable equity and wise expediency, which was not connected with any other question what soever. The Earl of ABERDEEN said that he had no know ledge of the meeting alluded to, nor of any pledge that might have been given at it ; but of this he was per suaded, that . if his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had given any pledge on the subject, be would undoubtedly adhere to it. Lord MONTEAGLE said he could certainly confirm the recollection of his noble friend (the Marquis of Clan ricarde) as to what had passed at • the interview alluded to. And he could further state that as to ono of the five heads of charges included under these annuities, the committee of their lorships' house had been unanimous in recommending a remission. The Marquis of SALISBURY.—(Hear, hear.) Lord MONTEAGLE could appeal to the noble mar quis, who had served very laboriously on that committee, and had devoted the greatest care and attention to the question, whether the English peers were not even more strong in their opinions as to the justice of such a re mission than the Irish lords ? (Hear.) The subject then dropped. The Earl of ABERDEEN thenTHrose and said that he wished to give notice of the terms of the amendment he intended to p ro p ose t o t h e reso l ut i on o f the noble earl (Winchelsea), respec ti ng th e C o ll ege o f Maynooth : " That an h um bl e a dd ress b e prese nt e d to her Majesty, praying her Maj es ty th a t s h e wou ld be graciously pleased to issue a commission to inquire into the manage m ent and governme n t o f th e C o ll ege of Maynooth, and the discipline and course of studies pursued therein ; also the effects produced by the increased grants conferred by Parliament." Their lordships immediately afterwards adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. The following bills were read a second time :—West minster Improvements (Dwellings of the Working Classes) Bill, Devon and Dorset Railway Bill, Newry and Enniskill en R a ilway Bill, Warrington and Altrin chain Railway (Warrington, &c.) Bill. RAIL WAY LEGISLATION. a a n t i o o n railway , ----- purchase, Mr. CARDWELL rose for th e p ur p ose of proposin g the following resolutions : " l T con o t rin a k inin g g any powers of ITg t arrangement, or other combination of in terest betwee n different railway or canal companies heretofore i ncorporated, be further proceeded with, unles s the p arties i nterested in or canal lease bill , working promoting such bill shall elect to proceed with the same on the terms of striking out in commit.ee all su c h p owers aforesaid, except when the combinaon of interest is limited exclusively to an interest in new works to be exe cuted, or for the execution of which time is to be given, under powers to be conferred in the present session. " That it be an instruction to the committee on every railway and Canal bill, in case any petition duly deposited by the promoters of the bill or bills, which, in consequence of the foregoing resolution, shall not have read a second time, shall allege that such bill or bills involve a scheme competing with a scheme referred to such committee, it shall be competent to the committee to admit the peti tioners presenting such petition to a locus standi to oppose the bill so referred to them as aforesaid. " That in the present session it be an instruction to the com mittee on every railway bill providing for the construe of any now railway, or for the extension of time for the completion of any railway in Great Britain in case they shall find the preamble thereof to be proved, to insert in the bill one or another of the provisions following, that is to say : " In every railway bill promoted by an existing railway company, being possessed of a railway already opened for public traffic, whereby the construc t ion o f any new line of railway is authorised, or the time for completing any lino already authorised is extended, a clause providing that after the expiration of a period to be limited by such bill, not exceeding five years from the passing of the act, in the case of a new line, and three years in case of the extension of time for completing any line, the payment of any dividend on the ordinary and ungua ranteed capital of such company shall be suspended until such line shall have been completed and opened for public traffic, " In every railway bill promoted by an existing railway company not being possessed of a railway already opened T YNEMOUTH ELECTION. Sir B. HALL brought up the report of this commit tree appointed to try and determine the Tynemouth Election Committee, declaring the member to be un seated on the ground of bribery and treating. The hon. member gave notice that on a future day he should move an address to the Crown for a commission of en quiry into the state of the borough. NOTICES OF MOTION. Lord D. STUART gave notice that on the first open day he should move that the Attorney-General be di rected to prosecute all agents who had acted in all cases where the member had been unseated on the ground of bribery. HOP DUTIES. In reply to Mr. M. SMITH, Mr. WILSON said the returns of the acreage of hops in Kent had been found to be incorrect, but the Govern ment could not be held responsible for the mistake, be. cause the returns were dependent upon those of the parish officers. In one case the return had been made six acres, whereas it ought to have been eighty and three quarters. Great difficulty was experienced in ob taining correct returns owing to the desire of the growers to keep them as low as possible. THE CHARGE AGAINST M. KOSSUTH. Sir J. WALMSLEY—Sir, I rise for the purpose of asking a question of the noble lord the Secretary for the Home Department, with reference to an illustrious exile, now resident in this country, and whom, I am sure, it will be the wish both of this house and the coun try to protect, as long as he conducts himself in con formity with the laws of the land. (Hear, hear.) lam induced' to ask this question in consequence of tho state ment which I find in a leading journal of this morning, it e thh l : eH v om e note t hmt hre6aoeptdho department piresgareaats intelligencem e t hvor c o ieece n hmeai e nevh c ade t as l dv : rthebeeiynfo therm e( Secretaryl e n 1 0 - e f and which is to the following effect : e e tps s o t ot a a : s t et W eb t te fsf h o e to a rai b t n. l s o c : ha g mvuli b e ee bs n seieo v nn a et g al :u sk e eo ly nf preferred against M. Kossuth and his adherents. Upon this legal information a house in the occupation of M. Kossuth was searched yesterday morning at an early hour by the competent authorities, acting, we presume, under the Secretary of St a t e ' s warrant, and the result of this in vestigation was the discovery of a largo store of arms, ammunition, and materials of war, which may be the stock in trade of a political incendiary, but certainly form no part of the household goods of a private gentleman living in pacific retirement." The question I have to ank of the noble lord is, whether there is any and what foundation for this statement as respects M. Louis Kossuth. Also, whether her Ma jesty's Government have given any assurance to the Government of Austria or of any other foreign powers in respect to the surveillance of political refugees in this country ? And perhaps it may be for the con venience of the house if the Secretary of the Trea sury will permit me to move that this house at its rising, do adjourn till Monday next. (Cheers, and loud laughter.) Lord PALMERSTON— Sir, lam not going to second the motion of the hon. gentleman—(laughter)—though it is very obvious for what reasons that motion is made (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) But I shall confine myself to answering his question just the same as if no motion were made, and I had rose simply to answer the ques tion he has put to me. The facts are these, that infoi - mation having been received that there were in a house I' somewhere near Rotherhithe—not in a house occupied by M. Kossuth—(hear, hear)—a quantity of warlike stores, and especially a larger quantity of gunpowder than was permitted by law to be held even by dealers in that article, a search-warrant was issued in the ordi nary course by a magistrate to the police, and that house was entered yesterday, and in that house were found upwards of 70 cases, closely packed, and intended apparently for transmission to some distance, containing several thousand war rockets, such rockets as are used, not at Vauxhall—(loud laughter)—but for the purposes of war. There were also found a considerble number of rockets in various stages of preparation, and iron cases which usually contain inflammatory matter. There were also found 2,000 shells (not as yet loaded), a very considerable qaantity of the composition with which rockets are filled, and 5001 b. of gunpowder. These things were seized by the police. To whom they be longed, and who were employed in making them, are questions which of course the house will not expect me in the present stage of the matter to enter upon. (Hear, hear.) These will be questions for future consideration, and I think the house will agree that a Secretary of State having been informed that there was reason to believe that such an immense quantity of warlike stores was to be found in a private dwelling, was justified in adopting the steps which I did for the purpose of taking possession of these arms, and founding thereupon any subsequent pro ceedings which the law advisers of the Crown, whom we shall have to consult, may think there is ground tor in stituting. (Hear.) I can assure my hon. friend that he is entirely mistaken in supposing that her Majesty's Go vernment are acting upon any pledge, promise, or engage ment given to any foreign government, except those promises and pledges which were given in the face m of Parliament —namely, that we should enforce to the ut most the laws of the country, and take care that the shelter which I trust will always be given to foreign exiles, let them come here from any political cause whatever, is not abused for the purpose of organising or carrying on hostile schemes against foreign powers. (Cheers.) Mr. T. DUNCOMBE.—I am afraid that the state went of the noble lord is very much calculated to alarm, not only this house, but the public generally. (Hear.) Now, I wish to ask the noble lord another question. As to those things which have been found at Rather hithe, does not the government know that this has been a sort of manufactory for rockets during the last six years, and that, after all, it was no house at alf—for I have made enquiry —where these rockets were found ? (Hear, hear.) The state of the case is this, that with regard to M. Kossuth the whole statement of the Times appears to be a perfect fabrication. (Cheers.) And at Rotherhithe, as I believe, a most illegal proceeding has taken place, a proceeding which will require explanation ' at the hands of the government, not only there, but in the courts of law. (Cheers.) It happens that there is a certain gentleman of the name of Hale, and also ano ther gentleman, of whom this house has often heard, I mean, Captain Warner. (Hear and a laugh.) Now, these gentlemen arc rivals in the same line of business ; but Mr. Hale is the most successful rival of the two. And does the noble lord mean to say that he does not know that six years ago Mr. Hale took out a patent for the manufacture of this sort of war•rockets—that he has offered it over and over again to the Government—that the sale of those rockets has been going on to foreign governments for the last six years—that Deninank, Prussia, and other powers of Europe have purchased rockets from Mr. Hale at his factory—that he has latterly been manufacturing large quantities—that he has had an order lately from Cuba, as I under stand—and that very recently, within these last few months, he has offered to the Government the whole of his present stock of rockets, which they refused just as they refused to take Captain Warner's stock? (Laughter.) I remember, on ono occasion, when a noble lord (Lord Ingestrie) was a member of this house, and a great advocate of Captain Warner, he took me with him to see Captain Warner's instrumen y ts ou o f in w i g a i r i t . And where were they ? In Lord Salisb ur y' s h ouse in Arlington-street. (Roars of laught er .) Why as well have gone with a warrant and searched for those instruments of war at Lord Salisbury's house in Arling ton-street as have done w h a t you have on this occasion. (Hear, hear.) Now lam informed by a relation of Mr. Hale that not one ounce of gunpowder has b een f ound —that nothing ha s b een found but those rockets have been offer e d over and over an r the Govern which to o a t t h v h o i o t m o r e ig n i t u ; al N l v y h imchadweere closetsold p o u u b r l i c a l l y s e a n al were with the knowledge of the Government itself. (Loud cheers.) One would suppose, however,throm the statement of the upe barirnekv or that we were nisgmtaon, noble lord, that we were on or elsewhere. But such get revolution nin revolution, E urop e is not at all the case. You have broken intogtolii has been found.
