London: Chapman and Hall, 193, Pieced THE CITY OF LONDON AND THE SEAT OF FASHION. THE CITY of LONDON, in a geographical, topographical, commercial, arid trading point of view, is superior to any town in the kingdom. As the " seat of fashion," the superlative claims of the City are everywhere asserted and maintained, and hence the familiar phrase : f you would have really superior articles, you must go to the City for thcm." Why (it may be asked) is a constant trading communication tent up with the City, the suburbs and the provinces? Won't this be the ease if the English capital were simply on a par with other less distinguished localities ? Most assuredly not. L. lIYAM for many years has had the honour of vindicating and establishing the reputation of the City London as the seat of fashion, by a successive display of seasonable attire not elsewhere to be met with. L. Hyam maintains his high position by invariably selecting froM the best markets, and by securing artists of long practice and ability. There is no novelty, no improvement that L. Hyam does not avail himself of. The Proprietor's present collection of dress surpasses that of any preceding season. Each description of dress displays "City " excellence in material, cut and make—excellence easily distinguish able from any and every other c'ass of costume. An inspection of the new summer light overcoats, dress coats, frock coats, trousers and waistcoats, will satisfy parties making the inspection that the just repute of the clty of Vondon (as above asserted) is welt upheld by L. Ilyam, who, in additirn to superier style and quality in dress, en sures to purchasers the advantage of exceedingly moderate prices. I OBSERVE !—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch•street, City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi wess carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied with good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound w..rkinanship, at such econiimical prices as must defy all competition. L. HYAM, Tailor.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matricolated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. VI AY be consulted, personally, or by letter , on V IL the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregu'arities and excesses, which have pro laced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence 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 Unfruitfld Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications 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 without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, 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 apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rev arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and Ignorant empirtcs, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted swamis injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

This was not the first' time they had asked for an inquiry as to how the accounts between the two countries really stood. When a motion, of this kind was brought forward some yeare ago by the hon. member for Kilkenny, the Government of day did not condescend to answer him, and, probably, the p • • nt Government intended to follow a similar course on the resent occasion, and to content themselves with str mg the question by votes. (Hear, hear.) He did not think it necessary to enter into the merits of the ques tion further than by saying, that the English Government having entered into certain engagements with Ireland at the time of the union, the Irish representatives only asked that those engagements should be fairly carried out. They only asked that a competent tribunal should be appointed to decide on the mode by which Ireland, considerin g her relative capability, should be called upon to contribute to the support of the State ; and, if that tribunal should de cide that increased taxation should be laid upon Ireland, they would willingly and cheerfully submit to it. But if, on the other hand, it should decide that no additional taxation should be levied upon that country, they hoped the Government would also be ready to abide by that decision. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MACARTNEY had always thought that if there was a fair account taken as between the two countries Ireland could afford to pay the income tax ; but until that account was gone into he did not think it would be fair to impose that tax upon her. Mr. CONOLLY said, he should not only be inconsistent with his own professions in that house, but untrue to those who sent him there, if he did not take the earliest oppor tunity of impressing on the Government the absolute neces sity of greeting an inquiry before placing upon Ireland a tax which went to vitiate one of the leading articles of the union. and which he considered as eminently unjust. He expressedwauiss thought he was al so en titl e d to insist that the Government should distinctly pl ace b e f ore them the grounds upon which they asked the house t o ex t end the income tax to Ireland, for he must say th a t h e f e l t i t was a personal indignity to the Irish members to h ave a ll their reclamations against this impost treated with s il en t contempt by the right hon. gentlemen on the other s id e , an d that they should be over borne by a majority, an d a ma j ority alone. (Hear, hear.) n He maintained that on th e pr i nciple of self-interest, if up and the solemn,d u ty o f th e G overnment, as the guardians of the State, to grant th e i nqu i ry which was now sought. He believed the l a t e Si r R o b ert Peel was perfectl y right n the n applied to Ireland, w ou ld no t pay the expenses of its i f col lection. Ho could only tell the house that, by extendin g the income-tax to Irel an d, th ey would be flying in the face of it whole nation, and treating the Irish people with a contempt they would feel moat poignantly. The Exche quer of England, he was satisfied, would not receive the slightest advantage from such an outrage. From motives of high policy, the late Sir Robert Peel refused, in 1845, to extend the income tax to Ireland, but the state of Ire land at the present time was not nearly so prosperous as it was then. (Hear, hear.) If it could be shown that Ire land had unjustly evaded her fair share of the imperial taxation, he (Mr. Conolly) would at once assent to the ex tension of the income tax to that country. The people of Ireland were not to be led away by theories that 100/. in one place was as g ood as 1001. in another. They suffered enough from the burdens, local and imperial, which were thrown upon them, and they felt that any addition to those burdens was peculiarly unjust at the present time. Mr. WILKINSON said he thought, whatever Ireland might complain of, she certainly could not complain of the want of a fair attention on the part of that house. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He could only say, that since he had been a member of that house one-half of its time had been occupied in the discussion of Irish affairs. He supposed the object of the proposed committee would be to inquire what would be a fair share of taxation to be borne by Ire land. Now, be would put it to hon. representatives of Ireland whether they thought they were pursuing the course by which they were most likely to obtain their object? He wondered they did not feel some sense of humiliation in coming forward and suing, as it were in forum pauperis, asking exemption from one tax and another. For his own part, he was quite ready to give his support to the budget, which, he believed, would tend to promote the general advantage and prosperity of the country. Lord C. HAMILTON observed, that he might remind the hon. member for Lambeth that, but for the union, it would have been unnecessary for any Irish representatives to trouble that house on the subject of the fiscal arrange ments of their country. He understood that the object of the motion was to obtain the appointment of a committee who might inquire whether the terms upon which the union was established, and which brought Irish members into the house, had been strictly and fairly carried out with respect to the burdens of taxation borne by the two countries. He hoped the hon. member would not consider that, in doing his duty to his constituents, he was pleading for them in forma pauperis. He (Lord C. Hamilton) thought it might be shown that the bargain made at the union had not been quite fairly observed. In order to induce the Irish Parliament to waive its separate rights, Lord Castlereagh had distinctly declared that Ireland should not be called upon to pay towards debts and liabi lities incurred by Great Britain before the union, but that as to future expenses the two countries were to be taxed on a strict measure of relative ability. He (Lord C. Hamilton) thought, then, that Irish members had a right to ask whether, in this new framework of financial legislation, not only the letter but the spirit of that contract had been strictly considered. (Hear, hear.) He had long thought that Ireland must have an in come tax, if such a tax was to be permanent in England— (hear, hear)—but he wished it to be ascertained what dif ference there was between the resources of Ireland in 1845, and at the present time, which now rendered that coun t r y so much more capable of bearing additional taxation with out injury to her interests. He would ask whether, when Ireland had just passed through a period of great difficulty, it would be wise for the Imperial Treasury to seize upon the first fruits of her returning prosperity? The tendency of such a proceeding would be, he believed, be to retard, it not to destroy that prosperity, and to paralyse the efforts by which, during the last few years, so much had been accomplished. The remissions now contemplated as re garded Great Britain amounted to 1,470,0001., but the ..only remission for Ireland was thOof the consolidated an nuities, which, he contended, on e not to enter into the balance at all. He would not enter at any length into figures ; but, allowing 250,0001. for the consolidated an nuities, that left a surplus in favour of Groat Britain of 1,220,000/. Was that in the spirit of the Act of Union ? He did not wish to complain of or to deny their power to impose additional taxation. All the supporters of this motion wanted was inquiry, and that inquiry he hoped the house would give. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not well commence his observations upon this discussion with out adverting to the remarks of the hon. member for Ros common (Mr. F. French) on what he had been pleased to term the inattention of the Government during the speech of the hon. and gallant gentleman who had brought for ward this motion. For his own part, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) entirely disclaimed that charge. (Hear.) He was in the house, endeavouring to attend to the hon. and gallant gentleman—(hear)—when some persons who were now sarcastically cheering him were not in the house at all. (A laugh.) He did his best to hear the gallant colonel, but there was so much noise during his speech that it was heard most imperfectly, and it appeared to him that a large share of that disturbance came from the neighbourhood of the gallant colonel himself. (No, no, and a laugh.) The hon. member for Donegal (Mr. Conolly) had stated that it was in no spirit of evasion that this mo tion was made—that there was no desire to escape from the question or evade a fair share of taxation as regarded Ire land. Now, he accepted implicitly the assertion of the hon. member, without assenting, however, to the proofs upon which that assertion rested ; for he thought the asser tion would have stood better without those proofs than with them. (A. laugh.) It did not appear to him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) that this motion had at all the effect of demonstrating to the house or to the country that there was no disposition to evade the question. He was quite sure such a motion would not be made the rule of proceeding in another place. He remembered, in 1833, when there had been a long discussion upon the question of negro emancipation, and when the discussion had been ended, and a bill had been brought in and read a second time, the hon. member for Montrose made a motion very similar to this—namely, that in lieu of going into com mittee on the bill, a select committee of inquiry should be appointed. The hon. member for Montrose was followed on that occasion by the Earl, of Derby, then Lo r d St an l ey, who administered such a reproof as it was not in his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) power to give to the hon. and gallant colonel, but which, if it were in his power to administer, he was sure would prove a great discourage ment to the hon. and gallant member. (Hear, and a laugh.) He did think the present motion was an ex tremely unfortunate one, both in respect to the form and the time at which it was made. In the first place, it was interposed as an absolute bar to their progress with this bill. (Hear.) It was an amendment to the Speaker's leaving the chair. Now, what was this bill ? It was something else than applying the income tax to Ireland. (Hear, hear.) It was a bill for repairing a deficiency of 5,000,0001. in the national revenue and for carry ing on the service of the year, being so far irrespective of Ireland. The way to draw attention to the case of Ireland would hay© been to either bring forward a separate motion or to move to exempt Ireland from the operation of the tax in committee. But now they attempted to bar the further progress of a bill which repaired a deficiency of 5,000,000/. in the public revenue, and upon which hinged the whole financial arrangements of the year ; and all these arrangements as regarded England and Scotland were to be suspended until they had got the report of a select com mittee upon the relative taxation of England and Ireland. (Hear.) There would have been far more propriety in such a motion if it had been made at the first step taken in this matter ; it ought at any rate to have come at a far earlier period than this. Why . was the question of equal ha ta l a l t )rn had been between the two countries revived now, after it debated for nights together, and after divisions u the house had been taken upon it, in which the sense of, N Why, (No, no .) o . on the unequivocally expressed. , main motion the debates had chiefly turned upon the case of Ireland—the question of applying the tax to Ireland was se parately discussed and decided ; and, having been separately decided, and the competency of the house t o decide upon it having been thus admitted, th e h on. and gallant gentleman now came down, at a very much later stage, and asked the house for a select committee of inquiry ! (Hear, hear.) That appeared to him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) a bad Parliamentary gr oun d upon which to stand, and one of a very inconvenient cha racter as respected the order and consistency of public pro ceedings. (Hear, hear.) With regard to this he had not, in taking these objections, the slightest committee, sition to avoid or escape from the merits ghtest dispo itself. He admired the judgment of hisc' the question (Lord C. Hamilton), who had said he noble friend into the figures. (A laugh.) He admired:would not go fully the hon. and gallant colonel —the the judgment of men who gave an historical characterjudgment and skill of who went back to the epoch ofthe to their speeches. over everything which s,d union, but who leapc4i and the present time. occurred. between that period 7th article of the Act of (Hear.) They had spoken as if the but he did not hear one the Union were departed from, pro ceedings which had syllable of reference to the pro 7th article. This was taken place since the union upon that a very inconvenient topic. It wits rather remarkable that the proceedings relating to this Act of Union, which had occurred in the ' have been allowed to drop entrely out of should ie were told it was a very hard case that Ireland should pa Y y . 1,000,000/. or 5,000,0001, towards the general revenue of the country. That was said to be a very hard case, and Ireland, it was added, would have been much better oft in regard to her financial condition if she had kept separate from England. (Hear, hear ; from the Opposition benches.) She would ? Well, he was glad now to have got a per fectly distinct statement. There was a fair challenge to him, and he accepted it. The hon. gentleman said, then, that it would have been better for Ireland--that she would have been at far less cost than she was at presont—if, in stead of having her finances conso lidated with those of Eng land, she had been allowed to continue upon her ow n around.

IMPE RI A L PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at five o'clock. Lord BEAUMONT gave notice that, on Friday, he would call attention to a treaty concluded relative to the succession to the Crown of Denmark, The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that, on Friday, lie would put a question to the Foreign Secre tary as to the negociation going on between Russia and Turkey. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that on the 6th of June, in moving for correspondence he would comment on the measure which was to be introduced on the 3d of June, in the other house, for the government of India. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Sir A. Stewart, complaining of the depreciation of property in the West Indies. The noble and learned lord touched at some length on recent colonial legislation, and also animadverted very severely on the attempts lately brought to light to introduce slaves on the coast of Cuba. He concluded by asking the Government whether they were aware to whom the blame of these proceedings was to be attributed ? The Earl of CLARENDON said he was sorry to say that the slave trade was carried on to a considerable ex tent in Cuba, and that, although our Consul-General at the Havannah was indefatigable in his efforts to bring these proceedings to light, he was, owing to the peculiar laws of Cuba on the subject, unable always to suc ceed. He could, however, assure the noble and learned • lord that no endeavour on the part of the Government would be spared to put an end to the traffic. The Spanish Government had recently given the most solemn assurances that the treaties should be rigorously adhered to. After a few words from Lord BEOUGHAM and Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the subject dropped. be sent up a chimney to extricate a machine, though it was unlawful to employ him in sweeping it ; but the bill of the noble earl proposed that nobody under 16 should be employed to assist a master chimney sweep within any house. (Hear, hear.) By such an enactment they would embarrass the trade, without doing any real good. (Hear.) He hoped, therefore, the noble earl would take further time to consider this question, and when he had produced a, measure really calculated to remove the abuses that now' existed, he would find no more earnest supporter than himself. The Earl of WICKLOW concurred very much in the views taken upon this subject by the noble lord below him (Lord Beaumont). The noble earl had given no good and definite reason why this measure should be carried into effect. The only reason he gave fur it was, that the late act was evaded by boys being smuggled into houses as persons carrying bags or brushes, and then by stealth put up the chimney ; but the law as it stood was so strin gent, that it was almost impossible it could be evaded in this way, The act was not evaded in London, because the 'penalties were well known there, and if the noble earl would only circulate bills to let the people in the country generally know what the penalties were, as little evasion would take place in country districts. He, there fore. looked upon this as a useless piece of legislation. The noble earl (Panmure) said the law interfered for the protection of children. That was true, but the law did not prevent them entering into a trade under 16. If this bill passed, there would be a penalty imposed on a chimney-sweeper for taking his own son to assist him in his trade. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of ARGYLL said, the chief argument in favour of this bill was the fact, that the former act to prevent children being employed in chimney-sweeping was evaded. It was notorious that such evasion took place, and therefore they were called upon to prevent it. Of course, if any noble lords were of opinion that the for mer act was a bad act, he could understand their opposi tiott to the present bill, but those who approved of the first act ought to approve of the present also. (Hear.) The noble earl (Wicklow) said that the Legislature, in interfering in the case of children, never prevented their entering a trade ; but, to make his observation applica ble to the present case, everything depended upon what he meant as the trade of chimney-sweeping. The bill before their lordships prevented young persons being employed " within any house,"—these words having been added to the bill by the noble earl. It was plain, therefore, that children might be employed out of doors. Lord MONTEAGLE said, the bill prevented any per son under 16 years of age from using the trade of a chimney-sweeper within any house. Now, by a stand ing order of their lordships, it was provided that no bill for "regulating the conduct of any trade," or " altering the laws of apprenticeship," should be read a second time till a select committee should have considered and re ported on the expediency or inexpediency of the house proceeding to take the matter into consideration. The object of this order was clearly to prevent hasty legisla tion on these matters, and he believed it was impossible for any bill to come more distinctly under its provisions than the present. He therefore called upon their lord ships to enforce their standing order in this case. (Hear.) The Earl of SHAFTESBURY might not have been sufficiently acquainted with the orders of their lordships' house ' • but, as to the merits of this question, nothing should ever induce him to recede from the position which he had taken up. (Hear.) With regard to the ob servations of the noble baron opposite (Lord Beaumont), who had spoken with so much force against legisla tion upon this matter, he could only say that he trusted in God lie should ever fall under his censure, and under the censure of all those who, with him, could apply to the course he had taken a charge of cant and miserable legislation. He rejoiced in the observation the noble lord had made, and be rejoiced that the noble lord had nothing more tangible to bring against the measure which he had introduced to their lordships' notice. (Hear, bear.) The noble lord bad told them that the act Of 1840 had produced no good whatever. Now he had great reason to complain that he and other noble lords rose to make statements upon this subject while they were not able to corroborate. Having no knowledge of the class of which they spoke, not having given them selves the trouble to inquire personally among the people themselves, to perambulate the streets in which they lived, and to go into the dens of human misery where they were to be found, they nevertheless came before their lordships and affirmed that the late act had pro duced no beneficial effects whatever. Now, he totally denied the statement of the noble lord. He could pro duce the most convincing testimony to show that consi derable advantages had arisen from that act ; that there were hundreds and thousands of children, who, but for that act, would have been employed in this disgusting and degrading occupation, now engaged, after being educated in trades and occupations that were worthy of the dignity of free men and the privileges of a Christian people. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to be thought that the sweeping-machines and the system of chimney doors could not be used except at great expense, and without breaking the ornamental parts of drawing rooms ; but the fact was, they could be constructed at a very small cost indeed, and if they prevented alto gether the occupation of climbing boys, these chimney doors would be universally used, for here was not a house in any part of the kingdom, however old it might be, where they could not be erected at a small expense. The noble lord said that fires had greatly increased in conseqience. [Lord Beaumont dissented.] Did the noble lord now repeat to the house the assertion that, in consequence of the act of 1840, fires had occurred or increased ? If not, the noble lord had, in his place in Parliament, without inquiring, and with the view of exciting a feeling against this act, and to induce their lordships to throw out the present measure, made a very wide and untenable statement. Lord BEAUMONT explaine3, that he had made in quiry as to the truth of the facts to which he referred. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY expressed a hope that their lordships would not take on themselves the re sponsibility of defeating a measure intended to remedy a condition worse, if possible, than that of slavery. The Earl of ABERDEEN entered fully into the feel ing which animated the noble earl on this subject. At the same time he would recommend the noble earl, with a view to maintaining the regularity of their proceed ings in that house, to allow the bill to be referred to a select committee. It was understood that the commit tee would not enter into any further inquiry, and there fore the reference would cause no material delay. After a short conversation on the point of form, in which the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, Lord PAN3fURE, and the Earl of WICKLOW participated, The bill was referred to a select committee. Adjourned.

INDIA.- -TREATMENT OF THE NATIVES. Lord ELLENBOROUGH begged to know whether there was any objection to produce the proceedings of three courts-martial which had been held in India, on Mr. --, a lieutenant in one of the Bengal cavalry re giments. In 1850 this gentleman had been tried for drawing his sword on his superior officer on parade, and since that time be had been tried, within little more than one month, on three separate charges, for striking three natives—one of them a member of &Ate in high esteem with the Hindoos. For these offences he had been fined six months' pay and put back several steps ; but ho was still allowed, it would appear, to remain an officer of the army—that army upon the fidelity and de votion of which depended altogether the maintenance of our dominion over India, which fidelity and devotion depended on their respect for their European masters. (Hear, hear.) The house might be assured there was great danger in permitting persons who had been guilty of such outrages as these upon the natives to remain in the army. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that the officer to whom he had referred would be taken to answer for his offences before the Supreme Court, and if found guilty, which there seemed little doubt he would be, be dismissed the army. Should the Court of Direc tors decline to dismiss him, it was competent in her Majesty, by an order under her sign manual, to dismiss the offender. _ _ _ Earl GRANVILLE said, that the home authorities anxious to do all in their power to protect the natives of India from cruelty, oppression, or other wrong, had issued a general regulation that any officer in the Indian army found guilty of having committed any such offence against the native population should be cashiered, and, sent to England. He had no doubt that the next mail would bring word, if the offenee complained of had been proved, that the offender had been punished in pur suance of that regulation. (Hear, hear.) COMMON LODGING-HOUSES BILL. The bill passed through committee pro forma. CHIMNEY-SWEEPERS' REGULATION ACT. AMENDMENT BILL. ----- The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that the report ou this bill be received. The Earl of CLANCARTY opposed the bill. With respect to Ireland, the result of his inquiri es was, that to a great extent the act which the noble earl desired by the present bill to enforce uniformly had been carried out ; but in some instances it was found impracticable to apply machinery to old houses. In the west of Ireland peat was burnt, and the soot arising therefrom got into a hard cake, which it was found impossible to remove by the machinery at present used. In order, therefore, to prevent crude and impracticable legislation, he should move that a select committee on the subject should be appointed, and that its report should be considered before the bill was read a third time. Lord BEAUMONT wished the noble lord who had just sat down had moved the rejection of the bill, which appeared to be erroneous and dangerous in principle, and in its details ineffective and miserable. This was not a bill to prevent boys going up or descending chimneys ; for already, he was sorry to say, an act for that object had been passed, but it was a bill to prevent boys, he might almost call them young men, under the age of 16 from carrying a bag and a brush fur the purpose of as sisting the cleaners of chimneys. If their lordships passed an act to prevent that occupation he did not know where they could stop. and, where it not for the high character of the noble earl, the originator of the bill, he should be disposed to designate the measure as the effusion of pitiful cant and pseudo -humanity. He wished that the existing act had never be en p assed, be cause lie believed that the effect had been that a few more houses had been burnt than would have been other wise. He admitted that there was cruelty in forcing children up ill-constructed chimneys, but that might be obviated by laws having reference to the construction of chimneys. He objected to this constant interference by the Legislature in all matters of private trade, and he suggested that the bill should be reported that day six months. Lord PANMURE deemed it not unbecoming in that house to throw the shield of its protection over infants not able to protect themselves. That had been done in respect to factories, and it was especially necessary to do the same in the case to which the present bill referred, because there was no trade in which infants were ex posed to so much wanton cruelty as in the trade of chim ney-sweeping. He knew that the lives of many hun dreds of poor children had been saved by the existing act, and as that prohibited the master sweeps from taking apprentices under 16 years of age, the present bill was intended to guard against the evasion of the law by pre venting children under 16 years of age being employed in the chimney-sweeping business under the name of assistants, and being then forced into chimneys because the owners of the houses would not incur the trifling expense necessary for rendering the flues adapted to machine sweeping. He did not r e g ard this as a n in fringement of the principle of free labour ; but be con ceived it to be just such a protection as their lordships were bound , to throw round a class of persons who were too helpless to protect themselves. Lord ST. LEONARD'S thorght their lordships should be careful not to adopt any course that might tend to destroy the chimney-sweeping trade. It was a trado which they could not do without, but at the same time every body must`be desirous to remove any abuses that were connected with it. As the law now stood, chimney-sweeping by boys was not only prevented, but also cruelty to boys, and therefore to that extent the MO was provided for. He had been informed that there were times when it was absolutely necessary to sand persons up chimneys to extricate the machines ; that even in that house, on occasions where the instru ment got up a chimney in which one flue communicated w i l l another, it was impossible to extricate the machine without sending somebody up. (Hear, hear.) If a man was too large, then a boy must be sent up—not to sweep the chimney, but to extricate the machine. Now by the law, as it stood at this moment, a boy might [PRICE SD. that the house at its rising should adjourn until Thurs day next. SEPTENNIAL ACT. Lord DUDLEY STUART gave notice that on this day month he would move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the Septennial Act. EDUCATION BILL. Mr. MIALL gave notice of his intention to add a proviso to clause 25 of Lord J. Russell's Education Bill, to the effect that the assessment on persons under the bill should be reduced by the amount which they volun tarily contributed to schools in the town or borough in which they resided. DOCKYARD PATRONAGE -REPORT OF COMMITTEE. Lord SEYMOUR brought up the report of the com mittee appointed to inquire into the patronage of the Admiralty in regard to dockyards. The report was read by the chief clerk (Sir D. Le Marchant) on the motion of Sir G. Pechell. It was a very voluminous document, and occupied an hour in reading. The committee divided their inquiry into four distinct questions, on each of which they proceeded to offer their observations in detail. The first was the cir cumstances under which the circular sent to the sur veyors of dockyards on the 26th of September, 1849, was canceled on the 19th -of April, 1852, with out any order or minute of the Board of Admiralty. After detailing at great length the main facts proved before them, and which are already familiar to the public, they stated it was their opinion that the circular was undoubtedly cancelled with the consent of the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Duke of Northumberland, who seemed to have acted under the belief that the power to cancel it remained properly with the Secretary of the Admiralty, Mr. Stafford. The First Lord, they added, therefore, sanctioned the cancelling, in ignorance of all those forms of the Admiralty which it was essential for him to know. The committee had not been able to ascertain any facts which could justify Mr. Stafford in cancelling the circular, and it was evident to them that he had adopted that proceeding for the purpose of satisfying his political friends. The committee stated, in justice to Sir B. Walker, the Surveyor of the Navy, that they had heard nothing which cast the least shadow of suspicion on the integrity of his conduct in the per formance of his duty. (Cheers.) The report was ordered to be printed. REFUGEES IN TURKEY. Lord D. STUART said it had been stated in the pub lic papers that a demand had been made by Russia and Austria upon the Porte, requiring the Go vernment of Turkey to expel political refugees from Turkey. The demand to which he referred did not require that refu g ees should be removed into the interior of Turkey, but that they should be entirely expelled the country, which was an unjust interference with the rights of the Turkish empire, and he wished, therefore, to ask if the Government had received any information of such a demand. Lord J. RUSSELL said, having received notice of this question, he had consulted with the noble earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the subject. He had ascertained from the noble lord that no such in formation had been received at the Foreign-office. NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. Mr. BAILLIE wished to ask the noble lord the mem ber for the city of London if it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill to deprive the New Zealand Company of certain moneys which the British Parliament had been induced to vote to them upon false representations,___ Lord J. RUSSELL replied in the negative. Mr. MANGLES and Mr. AGLIONBY repelled the impu tation of fraud, and declared that if an opportunity were afforded for discussion, they should be prepared to prove that the New Zealand Company were justly entitled to the money. MANNING THE NAVY. Sir G. TYLER asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he would place upon the table of the house the evidence upon which the report of naval officers on man ning the navy was founded ? Sir J. GRAHAM said, it was true certain naval officers were appointed by the Board of Admiralty to make certain inquiries, but those officers had no power to compel the attendance of witnesses. The evidence was given in pri vate, and the parties were not subject to cross-examina tion. Under these circumstances, it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government (as we understood) to act upon the report. FISCAL RELATIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Colonel DUNNE said, before the house went into com mittee on - the income tax, ho felt it his duty to call the at tention etthe house to the necessity of instituting a pre liminary inquiry as to the fiscal and political Mations of Great Britain and Ireland, with a view to ascertain whether Ireland did not at the present moment bear her fair share of imperial taxation. There were various reasons why the house should grant the inquiry. First, there was very little knowledge among members of the house and in this country of the actual condition of Ireland, and he re gretted to say that it would be found that she had not prospered to the same same extent as England since the union. Secondly, no previous Chancellor of the Exche quer had even attempted to extend to Ireland such an enormous addil ional weight of taxatioi. Thirdly, the pro position was a direct breach of the articles of union be tween the two countries. lie did not ask the house not to extend her fair share of taxation to Ireland, but he asked them to extend it only in the legal and proper way, and not to proceed in a manner quite contrary to the Act of Union because they had a majority of the house with them. (Hear, hear.) By the act, or, as it was termed in the statute itself, " the treaty between the two coun tries," it was settled that its provisions should be per petual, and they bound the house now as much as when the act was passed. The first article, relating to the fiscal arrangements of the two countries, declared that the pro portion of taxation to be borne by Ireland should be 2-17ths of that of England, and a subsequent clause set forth several modes in which the revenue of the country might be assessed—such as the relative value of exports and imports, and the consumption of spirits, malt, sugar, and such exciseable articles, &c. It was well known the treaty was extremely injurious to Ireland, and the burdens since laid on Ireland were much heavier than she could or ought to bear. The requirements of England and the wars in which she engaged, raised the taxation of Ireland year after year to an enormous amount. Nor had the expectations been realised of an increased colonial trade for the latter country, which many had indulged in at the time of the union. The whole debt of Ireland at the time of the union was 25,000,0001. Iu 1815 it had increased to (as we under stood) 125,000,0001. The revision of taxation and revenue provided for by the Act of Union at the end of every seven years never took place • and in 1815 a motion was ma d e for the consolidation of the two Exchequers of Ireland and England. Many persons imagined that act abrogated the Treaty of Union, but he denie that it did. It was a mere fiscal arrangement. He asserted, then, that according to the Act of Union at any time Ireland chose to call for the consideration of the taxation of the two countries she had a right to have her request granted, and that was never more necessary to be done than at the present moment, when she was threatened with this new tax. (Hear, hear.) Lord Fitzgerald showed in 1815 that Ireland had lost enormously up to that time by the union. If they refused the com mittee of inquiry for which he sought, they would abrogate the articles of the union, and give cause for fresh discon tent in Ireland. For years lion, gentlemen opposite had been speaking against the agitation for the repeal of the union. That agitation no longer existed. Did they wish to see an agitation to enforce the observance of the union ?
