Lord STANLEY of Alderley said that, with regard to the past, the Government had no power to compel railway companies to complete their lines, unless a clause inVege nsttohebterhleeeh house to grant to that effect had been inserted in their act. For the would d s altEabnhewiri ilrrjdhtihydsadTie whichvrnhi b ieddoe e rtsetehhn p cod r oeuvsvi o mota sl v sdnpwh i d l yaoebe e utree d celea stddm f at o ehbe db r ceeleni b ayrsor y uulewwsi scitenaphueipei before owrfedooidvpdt tpni framingproviding t o certainit :oerdc courts which he thought would have some effect on the present state of the law on the subject. The Bishop of SALISBURY concurred in the views of the noble marquis, and he thought that that part of the country with which both he and the noble marquis were connected, were greatly indebted to the noble marquis for the manner in which he had brought the subject before the attention of their lordships' house. After a few words from Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Wyn ford, and Lord Redesdale, The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a similar petition from Salisbury on the subject. The matter then dropped. CHARGE AGAINST THE IRISH GOVERNMENT. The Marquis of WESTMEATH, in moving for an address for a copy of the conviction of Messrs. Timothy Feely and Edward Roche, before the justices of Galway, for an aggravated assault upon F. G. Murphy, Esq., at that place, in the month of February last, as well as the decision and sentence of the justices on the case • also a copy of any memorial or petition forwa r d e d to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for the remission or diminution of punishment awarded by the aforesaid justices against the before mentioned parties on the said alleged assault, and of any letter conveying the same ; also a copy of so much of the Crown Book as contains the record of con viction and sentences passed at the last assizes at Limerick in the month of February in the present year upon John Flynn, Patrick Riley, Bridget Regan, Patrick Roche, John Ryan, Patrick Howrigan, Owen Malony, Patrick Daly, and John Ryan, for the several offences in which they were engaged at the last election at that place • and also a copy of any memorial or petition ad dressed to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for any re mission or diminution of the sentences above referred to, or any of them, with the signatures appended thereto, as well as any letter by which the same may have been ac companied, said he had come over from Ireland to per form a very disagreeable duty, inasmuch as it involved charges against the Lord Lieutenent of Ireland and the Irish government ; but it was a duty from which he could not shrink. The first came his motion referred to was with respect to two persons who had been found guilty of a violent assault upon a gentleman in Galway. It appeared there had been a social meeting somewhere about the commencement of February or the end of January last, at which the band of one of her Majesty's regiments of the line were in attendance, and after the business of the meeting was over, they played " God save the Queen." Two persons belonging to the Queen's col lege who were present hissed, whereupon a magistrate who was there, and observed their conduct, went over to them and remonstrated. On the following day these two persons, whose nemes were Feely and Roche, went to a place where they expected to meet with Mr. Murphy, the magistrate who had remonstrated with them, and upon meeting with him they assaulted him and beat him most severely with a horsewhip. Feely only, he believed, according to the evidence, actually used the horsewhip ; the other one looked on, but did not strike. A charge of assault was preferred before a magistrate, and upon the facts being proved, the two men were convicted and sentenced to a month's impri sonment with hard labour. This conviction took place on the 3rd February, and on the 7th or Bth the Lord Lieutenant, who had gone to Ireland, he believed, only on the 27th of January, wrote down an order that the hard labour was to be remitted. Nobody could say that such a punishment was too severe for so gross an out rage, and the only reason he could conceive for this un timely lenity on the part of the Lord Lieutenant was that it was exercised for a political object, and 'that he hoped by such means to obtain popularity for himself and for his government amongst one class of the popu lation. The other case to which he would call atten tion was one that occurred in Limerick. At the last assizes in February for that town nine persons were con victed of riot, and were sentenced by Judge Perrin, who had the reputation of being a very lenient and humane judge, to periods of imprisonment varying from nine to three months. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, very shortly after his arrival, had thought fit to express an opinion to the corporation of Dublin that he thought the office he held was a necessary appendage to the country, and he (Lord Westmeath) presumed it was in carrying out that opinion, and with a desire to make the office still more popular among the Roman Catholic party—(for all the persons so sentenced were Roman catholics, and the riot took place at an election where the priests had been very active)—that his lordship commuted the sentences of all these persons. Another reason why he thought the object of these proceedings an the part of the. Lord Lieutenant was to gain popularity, was that he ob served Mr. Kirwan was reinstated in the office he forfeited by his conduct at an election about the same time. He wished it not to go forth that he was making any attack upon the Roman Catholic religion. Many most intimate friends and some of his nearest relations were Roman Catholics, and his feelings toward* that religion would ever be those which ought to be entertained by those whose ancestors had professed it. But respect for the Roman Catholic religion was a very different thing to submitting to conduct on the part of the Government in Ireland tending to encourage there a body of persons whose hands were against every man, and whose influ ence as priests was always exercised to prevent the re turn to Parliament of those who by their connection with the land and the property of the country were the best qualified to be its representatives, The upper classes of the Irish Roman Catholics he knew to be loyal to a man, and they were ever ready to prove their loyalty by any act or any sacrifice ; but he was not so sure that the no minees of the Roman Catholic priests were loyal. They sometimes said themselves they were not. But what could they think of a Government that was playing into the hands of gild/ persons—and what were they to think of that position of Olive which had placed the affairs of the empire in the hands of a majority dependent upon a party who made the welfare of this mighty empire se condary to other considerations which they had in view and who used their position to obstruct rather than to advance the public interests I The Government seemed to have proposed an alliance with the extreme Irish party. They had thought fit to nominate to the im portant office of Solicitor-General the Iron, and learned member for Athlone, who, however great his talents, was considered not exactly the person who sh ould have been appointed to that office. In reference to that bon. and learned gentleman, it became his duty to bring under the uotice of their lordships a transaction which he trusted the noble earl at the head of the Govern ment would now hear of for the first time, At the last contested election for Westmeath, an honourable baronet, Sir R. Levinge, was fi candidate , the Solicitor-General for Ireland (who , he Mr. Keogh believed, had not an atom of ground in the county) came to canvass for another gentleman, who was ultin.lately elected. At a meeting in the town of Moat, held in the open air, Mr. Keogh addressed the electors, The speech the hon. and learned member delivered on that occasion was heard by three Magistrates of the county, one of whom thought.it is duty td COmmunicate the facts to me, and he had since had conanetteication with the other two magistrates, and the fact would tei deposed to if necessary on oath by the three. The speed of the hon. and learned gentleman was as follows :—"80y,7 0 17, ---their lordships should be aware that in Ireland all were ber between the ages of 65 and 14, women as well as men — (a laugh)—all who had brawny arms to wield a stick, or to hit a mark with a stone — " Boys," said the hon. and learned gentleman, "the days are now long, and the nights are short—in autumn the days will be shorter, and the nights longer—but in winter the days will be very short, and the nights will be very long, and then 1.4 any one remember who voted for Sir R.

Now, their lordships would see there was a c lose resem blance between these wor ds and those used by the hon. and learned gentleman, and no doubt those to whom they were addressed knew well their meaning. What he wanted to ask the noble earl opposite was, whether they were prepared, in the event ofa vacancy recurring, to advance to the bench a man who did not scruple to promote an election by means like these ? That the words were understood in the sense he inferred there was proof, for a man standing by said to the magistrate, his informant, " You hear those words, sir ; what do you think would be done to me when the winter nights come, if I were to vote for Sir R.

The noble earl had said, and he (Lord Derby) was bound to believe him, that he knew nothing of this speech. Yet the speech was a matter of general publicity ; in fact he believed affidavits had been made as to the particular words uttered by the hon, and learned member. He (the Earl of Derby) therefor': could not help wondering that the subject should not have been brought under the notice of the noble earl at the head of the Government at the time when the hon. and learned gentleman who made it was about to be appointees to the post which ho then filled.

Mr. Keogh, when the election for the county of Westmeath was about to take place, ,acting on the part of the Liberals, and being himself a cann.klate for :14 seat, was reported to have said in public, "That the nights were then getting short, and the day s were lon g ; the time eri:4s coming when the nights would be lon g and the days short, and then they would know how to act with those who mlstiv venture to vote for Sir R. Levinge for the county of Weetacath." If he (the Earl of Derby) were not mistaken, Mr. itersh had recommended persons to go into the town of Athlone armed with shillelaghs, and to use them, if need be. This iniglA, perhaps, be an in correct representation, but that sorneench speeches were uttered there was no doubt. It was a meet unfortunate matter, that after such speeches as these Mr. Keogh should be appointed to a high post connected with the administration of justice. It had the effect of making people danbt the sincerity of Government, and had led to the belief that a system of partiality existed, and that these appointments were made without a due regard to public tranquillity. The Duke of NEWCASTLE complained of the man ner in which the noble marquis (the Marquis of West meath) had brought forward an accusation, without no tice, against an hon. member of the other house of Par liament. He recollected when he was a member of that house it was the custom to talk of statements which were nobleman doubtful as " Irish facts," and the facts of the marquis fell within that category. The manner in w.hich this accusation was brought forward appear as though the noble marquis certainly ai n broughtl yma ads it itforward his motion solely with the view of throwing dirt upon the hon. and learned Solicitor- General, and he must bear witness to the admirable manner in which the noble earl (the Earl of Derby) had improved the occasion. The noble earl had expressed surprise that the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment was not aware of the speeches delivered by Mr. Keogh. He (the Duke of Newcastle) recollected not very long since, when the election speeches made by Sir F. Jielly were referred to in that house, the noble earl ' that he brought this subject forward, but to show the opposite (the Earl of Derby) had stated that he was quite Government the sort of system they were giving encour- 1 unacquainted with what his own Solicitor-General had agement to—a system which had shown itself at Six- I said, and that he had no time to read the newspapers. mile Bridge and at various other places during the else- I (Hear.)

The noble marquis had given no individual at the time he made the speech imputed to notice of his intention to bring that subject under their him, and although that speech, whether delivered or lordships' consideration ; if he had, he (the Earl of Aber- not, was a matter of notoriety, it appeared that he was deen) would have informed himself upon the subject.

But what did the denial amount to ? The he could not help thinking that the noblemarquis, being noble duke said that Mr. Keogh contradicted what had desirous of finding fault, had been compelled by the pre- been stated by the noble marquis.

The first case referred to was magistrates of the town heard and were prepared to that of two student's of Queen's College, and he (Lord swear to. (Hear, hear.) He had an additional reason Aberdeen) wished to assure their lordships at the very for that belief in the fact that he had in his own poses outset, that of the persons concerned in these matters he sion an affidavit sworn before a magistrate by a person was entirely ignorant, and that he had not the slightest whom he believed to be a respectable man, and who conception as to whether they were Catholics or Protes- was present on the occasion, ascribing to Mr. tants. One of these two students, it appeared, refused Keogh words almost identical with those attributed take of his hat when "God save the Queen" was played, to him by the noble marquis. He was bound to believe upon which a gentleman knocked it off. An assault that noble lords opposite had no knowledge of the was committed in consequence, and the two students words ; he was also bound to believe Mr. Keogh's concerned in it were sentenced to imprisonment for ten assertion until it was disproved ; but he thought the or twelve days, with hard labour.

Mr. HILDYARD moved that the petition of the in habitants of Wilts, Somerset, and Dorset, and of pro prietors of land, complaining of the non-execution of certain lines of railway, authorised to be constructed under the Acts of the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway Companies, and praying for inquiry and redreo (presented 25th February last), be referred to the committee on Group NN, to whom the Devon and Dorset Railway Bill stands referred :—That it be an in struction to the committee to hear the petitioners, by their counsel, agents, and witnesses, upon the said petition, against the bill. Mr. CARDWELL suggested that the motion should be postponed until the house was informed as to the present state of the inquiry now going on before the committee. At the same time, he thought it was rather a hardship that the rules of the house as to the locus standi of parties opposing private bills should operate to the exclusion of the parties who signed the present peti tion. That was a subject which well deserved the con sideration of the house. Mr. BOUVERIE admitted that the whole law of locus standi was in such groat confusion that it was ad visable to allow, by hook or by crook, all parties to be heard against railway bills which in any way affected them. He approved of the suggestion of Mr. Cardwell for postponing the debate. Mr. SOTHERON also supported the adjournment. Mr. S. HERBERT bore testimony to the inconve nience which the proposed lines would occasion in the conveyance of troops, in consequence of the communica tion being interrupted by a break of gauge.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pre. sented petitions from two attorneys, praying for an alteration in the attorneys' oertificate duty. TURKEY. Mr. LAYARD said he had given notice of his inten tion to bring the affairs of Turkey under the consider ation of the house, but he understood it would be incon venient for him to do so to-night.' Considering, how ever, that an official notice had appeared in the Paris papers of the sailing of the French and English fleets for the Dardanelles, and considering also the importance of the subject, he wished to know if the Gsvernment would allow him a day to bring the question forward. If not, of course there would be no other alternative open to him, but to take the first opportunity which the forms of the house would permit for bringing the matter on. Lord PALMERSTON said his noble friend the mem ber for the city of London, hal the management of the business of the house, and in his absence he was unable to make any promise. MILITIA STAMPS. Col. NORTH wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in the case of militia officers any stamp duty is payable upon their commissions ; if no duty is payable, then, in the event of its having been paid, will they be returned the amount of the stamp. Mr. WILSON was understood to reply in the nega tive. POOR-LAW MEDICAL OFFICERS. Mr. BRADY wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, if it was his intention to make ally alteration in the present mode by which medical officers are paid under the Medical Charities Act of Ireland, since the taxation of Ireland has been increased : If he has any intention of altering or increasing the medical districts under the Medical Charities Act of Ireland : And, if he has any intention of altering or increasing the medical officers' salaries under the Medical Charities Act of Ire land? Sir J. YOUNG was unable to answer the question. It should be put to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or some one connected with the Treasury. SUCCESSION TAX. In reply to Mr. MULLING , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the tables of the duration of life to be introduced into the Succession Tax and Legacy Duty Bills would be the same as those under which Government annuities were granted. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved that the house at its rising do adjourn until Monday next, for the purpose of urging upon the Government the propriety and necessity of postponing the second reading of the Succession Tax Bill until the tables referred to had been printed. Sir F. KELLY took a similar view of the matter, and seconded the appeal of the hon. baronet the member for Droitwich, as it would be impossible to discuss the merits of the bill without the schedules and papers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not accede to this request for a postponement, while he must be allowed to take exception to the view which as serted that the schedules and tables were interwoven with the principle of the bill. However, although the forms of the house would not allow him to lay the sche dule before the house until after the second reading, he begged leave to state that the tables had been prepared, and any hon. member could inspect them who desired to do so. After a few words from Mr. FRESHFIELD, who in sisted that the schedules and the clauses of the bill ought to be discussed together, Mr. DISRAELI also objected to proceeding with the bill until the schedules had been printed, and reminded, the house that no time would be lost by a postpone ment, because if they went on to-night the bill would have to be discussed again when the bill was forth- Mr. c. LAYARD, seeing the noble lord the member for the City of London in his place, perhaps the noble lord would be good enough to answer the question which he had already put. Lord J. RUSSELL could not consent to postpone the second reading of the Succession Tax Bill, nor could Le fix a day for the debate respecting Turkey ; but as the question had been postponed, he would consult with the ' ,ion. member, and see if an opportunity could be found 1;or the purposes he had in view. NEWSPAPER STAMPS. Mr. GIBeON wished to ask the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor pf the Exchequer whether he could really let the public knc, w what his intentions were with respect a to the advertiseme - ut duty and the stamp upon supple ments. Resolutiors h.. d been placed on the paper which were still in the hands of hon. members, but it was generally understood that they had been withdrawn, and the public were naturally ain,:ious to have the new plan before them, that it might be well considered previous to its being submitted to Parliament. Leave had been obtained to bring in a bill to define what a newspaper was, in order to put an end to the vexatious litigation which had existed on the subject, net less than six months ago ; and repeated assurances Lad since been given that the bill would be laid before the house. He did not ask not ask the Government to carry that bill a sta, , re at present, knowing the important bu siness before the house ; 'but he asked them, inasmuch as he knew it was ready, to lay it on the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that with regard to the question of the right honour able member respecting the resolutions on the adver tisement duty and the supplement duty, he hardly knew whether the right honourable gentleman was cor rect in stating that it was generally understood they had been withdrawn, but this he could say, that he at least had given no authority whatever for such a rumour. He had, indeed, intimated from the very first, that they were open to reconsideration, and that the Government would take ample time to inform them selres respecting them from all quarters, and to inquire what were the views of those best informed on the sub ject. He quite concurred with the right hon. member, that the time was come, for the convenience of all parties, when he ought to acquaint the house with the intentions of Government on the subject, and he might say also that he proposed, even if the right hon. gen tleman had not put this question, to lay the definitive resolutions in an amended form on the table next Mon day. With respect to the bill for the definition of what was a newspaper, he must tabserve that, though the right hon. member might be quite correct in stating that six months had elapsed since leave had been given to introduce it, he must do the Government the justice to remember that it was not their measure, but that it had been prepared by the law officers of the late Government. The delay alluded to had arisen from the fact that the bill in question had considerable re lation to the duty on advertiscunpnts, and that in the present state of public business it was entirely out of the power of the Governins.^nt to assign any time for the discussion upon such a bill. He was afraid that some days—perhaps one or two weeks— might still elapse before the state of public business would allow the Government to lay the bill upon the table of the house, but he would take care that due notice should be given with respect to it, and he did not think a longer time would elapse before he was enabled to put the right hon. gentleman and the house in possession of the measure. (Hear.) Mr. BRIGHT said, it had been understood that the bill proposed by the late Government was one which the present Ministry would be likely to introduce. If i they did intend to introduce it it would be a great conve -1 nience to a large class of persons to lay that bill upon the table of the house, so that something definite might be known as to what was proposed. (Hear.) The motion for the adjournment of the how was then agreed to. CUSTOM, &c., ACTS. The resolutions on these acts were then brought UP and agreed to. SUCCESSION TAX BILL. On the motion for the second reading of the hill, Sir J. PAKINGTON said it had been his intention to move that this bill be read a second time this day six months ; but in the absence of the schedules it would not be convenient to take the discussion on the prin ciple of the bill now. He should, therefore, reserve hio opposition until the motion for going into committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Then they could take the discussion on Monday. (Hear, hear.) The schedules were printed ; but, to comply with the general wish, he would circulate them at once as an amendment, to the bill. Before going farther, however, he would dis charge a pledge he had given , and state at once, not at all with a view to discussion, the intentions of the Govern ment with respect to taxing corporate property. The Government had been, it was known, of opinion that in proposing this extended succession duty on private pro perty it would not be just to leave exemptions on corporate property, which enjoyed the privileges of protection under the law. The question arose, in what way could a tax be levied? Corporations never died, and if it had been pro posed to establish an equivalent system whereby corpora. tions should be taxed every 25 or 30 years, there would have been the difficulty of determining when these cycles should begin. The proposal, therefore, was to effect a, com mutation whereby corporations should pay in a cer t a i n ' proportion annually. Then they had to consider in what way the amount was to be framed. Should they go on the assumption that the transmission ofrttheir r 6porti line or as analagous to the transmission fr(Tinict: o either t her? of o these n the ewxthroecolme,estli. was analogous to the transmission of pro and the proposal ! ei t c o/ sshtroaunlgde r n s they thought they not tak e they should make was that on speaking generally, there should nit' co rporation property, annual tax of 6d. in the pound imately be levied an equivalent to the succession duty, on the net revenue as seven years from the prese nt time, but that for a period of not be fair to make t he tax inasmuch as it would for the period of seven accrue at the first moment, the tax would only b years from the sth of last April but after the k .: at the rate of 3d. in the pound, the rate of 6d. in th Ap ril, 1860, the tax would be at e pound. Then, with regard to the question of the v • arious descriptions of corporations and how far the tax ough t how fa r to apply to them universally, any of them ought to be exempt, or how far other bodies ought to be considered as corporations for the purposes of the succession tax, it was quite obvious that with regard to municipal corporations they would act safely in adopting a rule correspondent with that which had been adopted in the acts imposing the income tax, namely, a rule which regarded as liable to the tax the realised property of corporations, but which ex empted from tax such of the revenues of corporations as were derived from rates and taxes laid on - the community. As respected trading corporations, they did not, he thought fall in purview of the plan, and for this plain reason, that although they were corporations for the purpose of carry ing on business, yet the whole property invested in them was divided into shares, and was therefore represented in the investment of iudividtwa property, and the ihnatuleat 2 r:; 1) Ils ...• - 1: 3 ••• ' / 4 1 .•••' .1 1 .••• 13 ~•• ' 'let t.)9 .... ..-- ,31 ()° ... o d : 1,- • , e t 111. 100' 100 100 100 100 100 I 103 all 11i 100 100 4i 100". 100 47 1 171 3: 17 7. 4 all- 17i all 10 100 100 100 100 10) all 100 all 15 IC)' 1 100 100 100 6 ICO 100 100 100 103 100 all 100 10 25 10 1.0.6 100 all 3 100 10 20 20 20 20 20 20 104 20 20 20 20 20 10 20 10 20 I.oq 66 i 22 14 2# i Ili 33i 3 21 3i 33i3
