All the witnesses were persons receiving, or who had received, emoluments from the East India Company —governors, generals, directors, or secretaries in the em ploy of the co m p an y. No doubt these were very fit persons to be examined ; but what was wanted was the opinions of independent persons taken, he allowed, in conjunction with these—to show how the system worked. No light had yet been thrown on the organisation of the Indian army and navy, and he thought such an inquiry ought to be made before the future law of India was settled. This was a subject of which the very permanency of our Indian empire de pended. But if they looked to the finance, they would find that out of the last 13 years there had been in 12 years an annual deficit of more than 1,000,0001. In the year 1837 the Indian debt amounted to 29,000,0001., but now it amounted to 50,000,0001. The revenue was building the houses of Parliament was entirely under the control of Sir Charles Barry ? Sir W. MOLESWORTH replied that the works were placed under the direction of Sir C. Barry, and the expen diture was under the control of the Treasury, but all the bills were submitted to the Board of Works to test their accuracy. Mr. JAMES WILSON said that nothin g ; could be mor e unsatisfactory th a n th e s t a t e of the expenditure b upon the houses of Parliament, and the matter had for some time past occupied the anxious attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and himself. They had directed Sir C. Barry to furnish them with such accounts as would enable them to lay before Parliament a clear statement of this expendi ture. Certainly things could not be allowed to go on any longer as they had done. Mr. BRIGHT did not rise to complain of the venti- CLASSIC AND HISTORIC PORTRAITS By JAMES BRUCE.

WHITSUNTIDE is a season which invariably creates a universal demand for dress; and, owing to this circumstance, the most flattering inducements are held out to the public. " Economy " and " quality" become by-words, and every tradesman professes to out-do his competitor. L. lIYAM, however, is not apprehensive of any adverse influence being thus produced, knowing as he does the extent, variety, novelty, excellence, and cheapness of his Whitsuntide preparations. The proprietor is desirous of impressing on the public the fact that he has prepared a variety of NEW MATERIALS FOR WHITSUNTIDE. L. Ryan's Establishment is replenished with a stock of Llama Cloths, Venetian Cloths, Undressed Tweeds, Mixed Cloths, Poplins, Cashmerrettes, a Ipaeas, Merines, Gore Silks, Cassinetts, Saxony Cloths, West of England Cloths, Kers,lmeree, Doeskins, Angolan, Figured Drills, Velvets, Silks, Satins, Melton Fabrics, and an infinite variety of the newly-invented materials peculiar to the present sea son. In designing and manufacturing the above goods into NEW GARMENTS FOR WHITSUNTIDE. L. Hyam has taken especial care to incorporate all the late im provements which public taste and experience have suggested ; and the proprietor flatters himself that the high reputation of his City Establishment is greatly enhanced by the elegant and superior as sot tment of dress now on sale. The Melton Oxonians are deserving of special recommendation, being novel, fashionable, and really ex cellent in quality. A sp endid stock of Juvenile Attire may now be selected from, and patents and guardians are assured that their requirements will be amply supplied at this season of fashion and fair weather. OBSERVE !—L. RYA M begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in Loudon. 36, Graceehurch place -street busi , City (established upwards o f 15 years), is the only of tress carried on by L.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.- Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro duced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the olginal by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.--52, Fleet-street. At home from ten till five. -AL Capital, £200,000, in 10,000 Ehsies of £2O each.

The Directors, on receiving this information had an immediate interview with his Grace, who said there were no objections to the Charter, but that he considered it proper to refer it to the Governors of the respective Colonies, and which he would do by the next mail. As there is no objection en Use part of the Home Government, and it being also fully admitted that there is by no means sufficient Banking accommodation in New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, the Directors have no doubt of the cempletion of the Charter without any opposition on the part of the Colonial autho rities. The Shareholders are, therefore, informed that, in order to effec tually carry out the objects of the Company in the Colonies, the Directors will immediately dispatch to Melbourne, John Reed Mackenzie, Esq., a gentleman eminently qualified in every respect to represent the interests of the Company, during the period of ob taining the local acts, and to occupy the position of Bank Manager so soon as the necessary arrangements in the Colony are completed.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. Mr. SANDARS asked the President of the Board of Trade, what course her Majesty's Government intended to adopt this session of Parliament, with the view of introducing a system of Agricultural Statistics into the United Kingdom. Mr. CARDWELL said that, through the agency of that excellent body, the Irish constabulary, very detailed information of the nature which the hon. member de sired in reference to Ireland had been already laid on the table of the house. With regard to Scotland, the Scottish Agricultural Society were taking the utmost pains to furnish similar information. An experiment was now being made in the counties of Sutherland, East Lothian, and Roxburgh. In conjunction with his right honourable friend the President of the Poor-law Board he had made arrangements for enabling an expe riment of a similar kind during the present year in Hert fordshire and Devonshire. These experiments however were only in a limited scale, but their object was to prove to the parties concerned that it was to their in turest to facilitate arrangements on a more comprehen sive scale in future years. REFORM OF THE COMMON LAW. Mr. KEATING asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government, during the present Session of Parliament, to introduce any measures embodying the suggestions of the report recently made by the Common Law Commissioners. Lord J. RUSSELL said he bad to state in the absence of his noble friend that it was the intention of the Go vernment to introduce a measure which would embody the suggestions of the Common Law Commissioners. BRONZE STATUES IN THE METROPOLIS. Mr. B. WALL asked Sir W. Molesworth whether the bronze statues in the metropolis were ever inspected, or the rust cleared off; and whether they were under the control of any Government-office ; and whether it is intended, before the scaffolding is removed from the statue at Charing-cross, to repair it ? Sir W. MOLESWORTH said he had to state that the Board of Works were not officially bound either to inspect the bronze statues in the metropolis, or to clear off the rust upon them. To the second question he had to reply that these statues were not under the control of any Government department, and though he thought it might be desirable to place them under some such con trol, it was not the intention of the Government to bring in a bill on the subject. With regard to the statue at Charing-cross, he bad ascertained that the renovation of the pedestal would cost about 1,000/. ; but there was n 3 immediate necessity for making the repairs. They might safely be left for another year, and then perhaps it might be expedient to propose a vote for the amount. EDUCATION BILL, Lord J. RUSSELL replied that he had no present intention of bringing the metropolis within the operation of the Educational Bill. ADMISSION OF JEWS INTO PARLIAMENT. Mr. M. GIBSON wished to ask the noble lord the member for the city of London a question relative to the admission of Jews into Parliament. It would be remembered that some short time ago a bill was intro duced for the removal of Jewish disabilities. That bill passed through the house but it was afterwards rejected by the other house of Parliament. Now the city of London had returned a Jew to represent them in that house, but the gentleman who so represented the city was unable to discharge his duties, owing to the state of the law. The seat however was full and a new writ could not therefore be issued. The question which he had to ask the noble lord was this—What course did the noble lord propose to take in the present position of affairs Holding the noble lord responsible for the management of business in this house, he wished to ask the noble lord what course he would advise the house to take with reference to the peculiar position of the City of Lon don, and also whether the Government mean to make any effort during the present session, or at any future time, to settle the important question. (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said with respect to the import ant question which his right hon. friend had put to him, he had to state in the first place—that he did not think this question could be settled by allowing things to re main as they were. His opinion was, that it was much more probable that it would be settled by a bill which should snake a general alteration in the oaths taken by members, than by again recurring to a bill of the nature of that which had just been rejected by the House of Lords. As to what time such an alteration ought to be proposed he could not at present undertake to say. However, he might observe that there had been a bill introduced into the other house for the alteration of the oaths. He had not seen that bill, but it was possible the bill might ultimately come dos to them in such a shape as to remove the difficulty in which they now found themselves. (Hear, hear.) WAYS AND MEANS. ........... The report of the committee of Ways and Means was received, and leave given to bring in a bill founded upon the resolutions. CUSTOMS, &c., ACTS. The report thereupon was received. EXCISE DUTIES ON SPIRITS BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Captain JONES said he was bound to express his strong apprehensions of the results of this bill. In 1842 the Government of the late Sir R. Peel proposed to raise the duty on Irish spirits by is. a gallon, and he then told the house what would be the consequence of the measure. He told the house then that it would not in crease the revenue, but that it would have the effect of encouraging illicit distillation, and of filling all the gaols in Ireland. Such turned out to be the case, and ulti mately the increased duty had to be abandoned. From 1834 to 1839, the consumption of spirits in Iroland varied from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 gallons, but in 1842, when the duty was increased by is. a gallon, lithe spirits brought to charge in Ireland fell to 5,000,000 of gallons. It must not be supposed that this was owing to any falling off in the consumption of spirits in Ire land, but it was owing to the increase which took place in the manufacture of illicit spirits. Now, such would be the effect of the present measure. He calculated that if the law was allowed to stand without alteration, the quantity of spirits that would come into charge in Ireland would be something between 9,000,000 and 10,000,000 of gallons, but if the bill passed the re venue would be injured and the gaols of Ireland filled as before. He must therefore protest against the second reading, though he should not put the house to the trouble of dividing upon it. (Hear, hear.) The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. CUSTOMS DUTIES ON SPIRITS BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. AFFAIRS OF INDIA. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in moving that the Speaker do leave the chair for going into Committee of Supply, took the opportunity of stating, that on Friday, the 3d of June, his right hon. friend the President of the Board of Control would state the views of the Government with regard to the Government of India. Mr. RICH said, with reference to that notice, he must be allowed to express his opinion that it would be both for the interest of the Government and of India that the subject should be more maturely consi dered before it was brought on for discussion. (Hear, hear.) The appointment of the Indian committee took place at a very late period, while the heads of inquiry that were submitted. to it were exceedingly numerous. The house had only just received a report upon one of these heads, and much information remained behind to be communicated to the house. He therefore contended that it would be most inexpedient to legislate in the matter until the vrholo inquiry was brought to a close. He believed that the agitation of this question would be conducive to the ultimate tranquillity of India itself. He therefore thought we ought rigidly to inquire be fore legislating. The committee which had been ap point.-d, although coomposed of the mof=t eminent men in chat home, had coirunitten sUCh blund4-rs as would have c ii,graded tile younpe,L members. Instead of inquiring into the condition said well-being of the people of India, they had confined themselves simply to inquiring into lation, bad as that was, but of the immense quantity of dust which was allowed to remain constantly in suspension in the atmosphere of the house, and which being constantly inhaled by honourable members, was found to be very prejudicial to health. If a sheet of wet paper was placed upon the wall, in an hour it became like a sheet of sand paper, so great was the amount of dust. And so intolerable was the evil to those who sat night after night there for the whole of the session, that he had felt himself constrained to give notice of a specific motion to the effect that that house should meet in some other building for the despatch of business until a remedy had been provided. Mr. BAILLIE was afraid that the evil of which the hon. member for Manchester complained was only one of the inevitable results of the present mode of ventilation adopted in that house. The vote was then agreed to. The next vote proposed was a sum of 10,000/. to defray the expense of providing accommodation for the Comptroller of the Stationery-office. In answer to a question from Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr. WILSON stated that he belived a further vote of 10,0001., in addition to the present sum, would be required to finish the alterations now being made in the Stationery office. The vote was then agreed to. The next vote was a sum not exceeding 91,279/. for works connected with the Harbour of Refuge at Holy head. ,ncreasing, but in a very decreased ratio compared to the debt. In the year 1837, the revenue was 13,000,0001., and had now incrersed to 19,000,0001. The debt had increased sevenfold, but the revenue only two-and a-half-fold. They had had no information either upon the judicial administration in India, which, according to all accounts, was most miserable. There was no educa tion whatever required for the office of a judge, but it was the general principle to make a judge who was good for nothing else, or rather unfit for everything else. It was a sort of refuge for the destitute. This was a state of things which required investigation. The subject of education was one of great importance, and the returns which had been laid before the house showed a frightful state of destitution. (Hear, hear.) It was, he contended, essential to the well-being of India that the people should be actively employed in the ad ministration of its affairs. The true reason why they were not so employed was that the pa tronage of the country should be retained in the I hands of the East India Company. All the great stimu lants to action on the minds of the Indian population were dwarfed by thi s mo d e o f p roce d ure . Th e fitness of the East Indians themselves was, he contended, a subject fully deserving inquiry. On the subject of works it ap peared that the East Indi a C om p an y had been blind both to their own interest and that of the population over whom they ruled. They had no information as to the political relations of the East India Company with the neighbouring states, whether subsidised, independent s or protected. These were subjects deeply affecting the interests of India, and he contended that in every one of them a case for inquiry had been made out. Moreover, it was incumbent on the East India Company to stand up and contradict these charges by evidence, and before this had been done the house would not be justified in con senting to any further legislation on the subject. Sir C. WOOD said that it certainly was the opinion of the Government that they ought to legislate on this subject in the course of the present session, and as at the proper time it would be his duty to go at some length into the various topics which had been touched upon by the hon. gentleman, he should not occupy the time of the house by discussing them on the present occasion. The house then went into COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. A sum of 119,3201. was granted for the maintenance and repair of royal palaces and public buildings. A sum of 62,7361. was proposed to be granted for main taining and keeping in repair the royal parks, public gar dens, &c., under the management of the Commissioners of Majesty's Works and Public Buildings. Lord D. STUART wished to call the attention of his right hon. friend the First Commissioner of Works (Sir W. Molesworth) to the Royal Botanical Gardens and Plea sure-grounds at Kew. The numbers of visitors to these gardens in 1841 had been only 9,134 ; in 1851 they had been 327,900; and last year they were 231,000. Very few of the working classes, however, were able to take advan tage of the gardens ; and the reason was this—that they were not open on Sundays. He thought it peculiarly de sirable that hard-working men, who were shut up in close alleys and unwholesome dwellings during the whole of the week, should have an opportunity- afforded them of visiting so delightful a place of recreation on a Sunday. (Hear, hear.) Sir W. MOLESWORTH said that he had given direc tions on the subject, and that the gardens had been opened on Sunday last. (Hear, hear.) Lord D. STUART was exceedingly happy to hear that announcement. He wished to know whether it was in tended that that part of the gardens wl•ich was called the Pleasure Grounds should be open for the future on Sun days throughout the whole of the year? With regard to Richmond Park, he begged to call the attention of his right honourable friend to the fact that there was a considerable portion of it, between Roehampton and Robin Hood-gates and Lord Beshorough's villa, which was not open to the public. He hoped that the entire park would be imme diately thrown open. Mr. MALINS would suggest to the right hon. gentleman tnlintryg.n.R.a exlist;sed stliope 'mat a new carriage road would shortly be made from Victoria-gate to Albert gate, Hyde Park. Additional accommodation was very much needed. Lord D. STUART concurred in the opinion that a new carriage road was required. Sir W. MOLES WORTH observed that there was no impossibility in the way of complying with the suggestion, but there were strong objections to making the road. It would be very undesirable that the park should be open at night. Mr. H. DRUMMOND wished to call the attention of the Government to the fact that the works which were executed for her Majesty and the public cost about twice as much as those that were done for private persons. (Hear.) All the Government builders made enormous pro fits out of their contracts. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said he desired to make a remark on the vote for the royal palaces, which had been agreed to in his absence. It was time for the House of Commons to exercise some control over the royal palaces. No less than 580,000/. had been expended since the commencement of the present reign on palaces in the occupation of her Majesty, and 400,0001. had been laid out during the same time on other palaces, which were occupied by members of the aristocracy, who were in a condition of semi-pauperism. (A laugh.) He thought that the persons who lived in these palaces should, at all events, pay the expense of keeping them in repair. He found that since the accession of her Majesty 1,000,0001. had been expended on the royal parks, and that being the case, he thought that the public were entitled to the freest use and enjoyment of them. He wished to know from the right hon. gentleman the First Commissioner of Works what her Majesty's Government intended to do with Battersea-park ? A sum of nearly 200,0001. had been laid out in the purchase of three hun dred acres of laud on the banks of the Thames for the pur pose of making Battersea-park, and it appeared that the Government had purchased the land at so moderate a price that a speculator had come forward and offered to take it off their hands, after paying all the expenses to which the Government had been put, in order to convert it to his own interests. There was great apprehension in the minds of many p,rsons out-of-doors that the park was to be sold to this speculator, and ho should bo glad to hear from the right hon. gentleman that such a plan was not in contem plation. Sir W. MOLESWORH said that Mr. Cubitt had made a proposal of the nature alluded to by his honourable friend, but the Government had declined to agree to it. (Hear, hear.) Sir R. H. INGLIS was understood to observe that honour was due to Mr. Cubitt for the liberal offer which he had made. Mr. WILLIAMS explained that he had cast no reflec tion on Mr. Cubitt, who he thought had acted most hon ourably. He (Mr. Williams) had always contended that if the Crown estates were properly managed, their revenues would be sufficient to meet the entire charge of the civil list. Mr. BROTHERTON said that as London was the richest city in the world, he thought the higher classes ought to contribute something towards keeping up the parks. The people of Manchester, and other provincial towns, maintained their own parks. Sir DE LACY EVANS complained of the unfinished state of the Nelson monument Trafalgar-square, which he considered a disgrace to the patriotism of the country; and he expressed a hope that the Government would take steps for the completion of the work without further delay. Sir W. MOLESWORTH said he b elieved that a sum of public money had already been voted for the purpose to which the hon. and gallant gentleman had referred. Mr. EWART suggested the propriety of effecting some improvement in the ride in Hyde-park. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH said that his atten tion had been.c,alled to the subject, and he hoped that be fore next year some improvement would be made in Rotten- Mr. THORNELY inquired whether the original estimate of 628,000/. for the improvements at Holyhead would cover the whole of the expenditure that would be required for the works, or whether any other estimate had subsequently been made ? Mr. WILSON was not aware of any other estimate hav ing been made ' • but he could not und er t a k e t o sa y th a t i n a work of that magnitude the original estimate would in no degree be exceeded. ColOnel DUNNE said that the original plan had been departed from, and it was well known that the first esti mate would not be sufficient to complete the works. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that when he came into office he found the votes for harbours of refuge in a some what anomalous position. The expenditure was certainly brought under the notice of the Admiralty, but the imme diate responsibility and control were vested in the Treasury. With respect to this particular work, he had been assured by Mr. Rendell, the engineer, on whose opinion from his great professional talents he could confidently rely, that the original estimate would be sufficient to cover the entire cost of completing the works at Holyhead. Mr. BUCK desired to call the attention of the Govern ment to the want of a harbour of refuge in the south-west of England ; and said ho hoped the subject would at no distant period engage their attention. Sir J. GRAHAM said that, considering our maritime position, there could be no doubt that the subject of har bours of refuge had been too long neglected in this coun try. Between Harwich and the Tyne there was not a single harbour for which a ship could run in boisterous weather, except the Humber under some circumstances. He was quite aware that some harbour of this kind was wanted in either Cornwall or Devon, but it was necessary to proceed by degrees. There would be a considerable expenditure required upon the works now in course of construction at Holyhead, Portland, and Alderney, which must be finished first ; and we must then enter upon the construction of other harbours, which were much re quired. Mr. WILSON explained that the works originally contemplated at Holyhead would be completed for the original estimate of 628,000/., but that there would be a further outlay of 180,000/. for a steam-packet pier, which was not embraced in the first plans. The vote was then agreed to. On the vote of 226,0001, for constructing certain har bours of refuge, Mr. W. WILLIAMS asked whether the sum of 34,0001. for Dover Harbour, which was included in this, would be all that would be requisite for the completion of that im portant work ? Sir J. GRAHAM said that this 34,0001. would complete the works as far as they had been hitherto sanctioned. It was, however, proposed to extend the works 805 feet further into the sea, which would, of course, entail a con siderable additional expense, for which the sanction of Parliament would be asked next year. In answer to Colonel DUNNE, Sir J. GRAHAM said that it was intended to carry the works of the harbour in the south of Jersey much further; but that thi. went In tnal, Ig9lsBritr"" ' '. 4.4 ••••• , 3 7 • Sir J. GRAHAM said that this accident arose not so much from any deficiency in the harbour, as from the want of ordinary precaution on the part of the author with reference to the provision of the m eans for savi ities ng , life. In answer to Mr. PELLATT and Captain SCOBIELL, Sir J. GRAHAM said that at the present rate of pro gress, which was the greatest practicable under the cir cumstances, the completion of the harbour at Alderney would occupy seven years from the present time. The estimated cost would be about 600,000/. It was proposed to carry out the works so as to obtain a depth of five fathoms water at the ebb of spring tide. When the works were completed, ten or twelve steamers of the largest class would be able to moor there. The vote was then agreed to. On the vote of 2,556/ for works at Portpatrick harbour, Mr. WILLIAMS asked when the expenditure on this harbour would terminate? Some yeah since an assurance had been given that no more money would be asked for an this head. Sir J. GRAHAM said that this vote was not asked for any new works, but in order to defray the expenses of repairing existing works which had been damaged by the storm of last year. Considering that 100,000 1 . had been already expended there, and that it was possible that if the railway were constructed from Dumfries to Portpatrick steamers might again run to Ireland from the latter port, he thought it would be very bad economy to allow the harbour to go to ruin. The vote was then agreed to. MAYNOOTH. On the vote of 45,6001. for the expense of maintaining and repairing public buildings in Ireland, Mr. SPOONER moved that this vote should be reduced by the sum of 1,235/. 13s. which was asked for the repair of St. Patrick's College, at Maynooth. Ho still retained his opinion that it was a national sin for a Protestant country to support Popery in any shape or in any way, but considering the very full discussion which this subject had recently undergone, he should, in opposing the present vote, confine himself entirely to the pecuniary question. In 1815 the house granted 30,0001. to build a new college at Maynooth, and charged the Consolidated Fund with a nearly equal annual sum for its maintenance ; and yet the Board of Works came year after year for grants for the repair of this new college, which bad been constructed out of a parliamentary grant. In 1846, 5781. was granted for this purpose; in 1848, 2,685/. ; in 1849, 1,125/. ; in 1850, 1,240/. • and in 1851, 1,2361. There was no grant in 1852, and he 'had heard that the Treasury then refused to apply for one on the ground that 2,0001. of the original grant of 30,000/. still remained unexpended. Under these circum stances he thought that, although the grant was not large, it was not a reasonable one in a pecuniary point of view. There was no analogy between this and any other vote, and he therefore expected, on that occasion, to receive the support of those gentlemen who had opposed the motion which ho had brought forward on the subject of the May nooth grant, on the ground that he ought to have, made that motion general, and to have applied it to all grants for religious purposes, instead of confining it to a single case. (Divide, divide.) - Mr. KENDALL having briefly stated his intention to support the motion. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that ho also should support the proposition of the hon. member for North Warwick shire, on the ground that when the grant was obtained in 1845, Sir R. Peel promised that not a single farthing more should be asked from Parliament for this college. Sir J. GRAHAM said that his recollection of what took place on the occasion of the grant being made .to May in 1845, by Act of Parliament, was entirely.different. - from what had just been stated by his hon.. friend that member for Lambeth (Mr. Williams.) He would, - how - ever, in the first place, refer to some of the statements o f the 'hon. member for North Warwickshire.' It was.. not the fact, that this was a new building ; on the contrary, it was an old one, and until Parliament granted 30,000 1 . for its restoration, it was ono of the roost dilapidated buildings in the country. Every farthing of that 30,000 f. had been expended on the responsibility of the Govern ment on the repair of the building, only a very inconsider able sum having been devoted to its enlargement. The annual grant was expended, not in maintenance of the build ing, but in that of the students and professors. When the Government of Sir Robert Peel made the proposition to fix a certain sum as an annual charge upon the Consoli dated Fund, it was a question whether they should name 30,000 1 ., a HUM sufficient for the maintenance of the stu dent's and of the establishment a from the repairs of of the build the buildiq, or ohether they should nind add . to this amount ainsugfansadffiietiwet tothencov.rect he wee not mistaken,. it was stated either by himself or by i de i tl a tyt h e Svernment, :and if endowed and so upheld by expedient that this college, so annually brought under its rei View, his late right hon. friend (Sir R.

Sir J. SHELLEY recommended the widening of Park lane as a measure required by the amount of railway and other traffic daily passing through that thoroughfare. Sir. W. MOLESWORTH had no doubt that that would be a desirable thing to do, but considered it ought to be paid for by the inhabitants of the neighbour hood ; And he would be glad to hear what amount the hon. baronet him self would subscribe towards the object. (A laugh.) Mr. ARCHIBALD HASTIE complained that the Government was more ready to vote money for metropo litan than for provincial improvements, and when the next vote for Battersea-park, or some similar object, was moved he should call the attention of the house to this matter. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that he saw on the votes a charge of 2,1051. for Richmond-park, and wished to know the amount of the salary of the ranger ? Lord J. RUSSELL replied that the salary amounted only to 2001. ; but there were various other expenses re quired for maintaining the park. The vote was then agreed to. The next vote proposed was 145,774/. for works and ex penses connected with the two houses of Parliament. receive Mr. SPOONER thought that the ho use ought to some explanation of the amount already expended on these works, and also of the further sum that would be required to complete the buildings. Sir W. MOLESWORTH was understood to suggest that if the hon. gentleman wished to have the items in detail it Was competent for him to move for a return. Mr. SPOONER complained of the disgraceful state of the ventilation of that house, after the large sums that had been expended upon it, and stated that he understood Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney was fort undertake to ventilate tho house in a proper manner the small sum of 200/. a © year. Sir W. MOLESVirORTII had a high opinion of the talents and ability of Mr. Gurney, and the house, if it thought proper, could place the ventilation mindthe under the man agement of that gentleman, but he t r com mittee that a large exp enditure had already been incurred for the ventilation of that house, and the system that had been adopted o ught to have a fair trial. The existing arrangement had been entered into for a period of one year, and it would be improper to make any sudden alteration.

WILLIADIS observed that there were three or four other items in the votes that were open to the same objection, and he begged to add them to the proposition of the hon. member for North Warwickshire. There was for - Irishtown church a sum of 371. 195.; chaplain's house in Dublin Castle, 771.; and the royal chapel and apartments in basement, 1411. 6s. Bd.; making a total of 2561. ss. Bd.

He hoped hon. members would see that the question was totally altered now, and that the question was not whether they would vote against religious endowments generally, but whether they would single out one denomination for refusal. (Hear.) Mr. MULL thought the question was only so far al tered that in the former case a great many interests were combined to carry the vote, and that in the present case, while the same principle was at stake, they would only have one interest to contend against.

On the question that 3,3681. be voted for the Ecclesias tical Commissioners. Mr. WILLIAMS objected, on the ground that these commissioners were appointed for the benefit of the Church, and ought to be paid out of the Church's revenues, which were amply sufficient for the purpose.
