if he went to the Baltic with a valuable cargo, no pilot was required. The house would decide whether these regula tions showed such sagacity on the part of the Trinity Board as to induce that house to give them further powers. If, however, the house should be of opinion that all the pilots should be under one uniform authority, it would only be right that the governing body, be it what it might, should exercise the greatest impartiality the very large and discre tionary powers proposed to be given by this bill. He trusted the bill would, not be considered a party question, and he utterly disclaimed any sinister motive whatever in sup porting the amendment. Colonel HARCOURT said the Isle of Wight pilots com plained of being subjected to great grievances as compared with the pilots of Southampton, for, not only did the latter claim the privilege of piloting vessels through the river, but also out to sea. Not that he should have objected to that if the Isle of Wight pilots had been allowed to pilot vessels- which they had taken charge of at sea up to South mpton • but that was not the case. While, too, the Isle of 'W ig ht or Cowes pilots were paid only 3/., the South ampton pilots were paid 61. 10s. The former were also obliged to maintain much larger, and therefore more expen sive, boats than were required for the pilots of Southamp ton. He referred to certain regulations of the Trinity. house, and to other matters, which he said operated as grievances on the Isle of Wight pilots and constituted strong.grounds for inquiry before a select committee. Lord A.- PAGET observed that in case of grievance the pilots of the Isle of Wight could have redress from the Board of Trade if the present bill passed. As the hon. member for Berwick had expressed an opinion that the Pilotage Bill would not be of any benefit to the shipowners, he begged to state that an important document had been forwarded to him from a large body of shipowners in the port of London, representing 350,000 tons of shipping. The document had appended to it the names, among others, of Mr. Green, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Ingram, and Mr. Lindsay, and set forth that the undersigned British shipowners were of opinion that the proposed Pilotage Bill would be of great benefit to the shipping interest, especially as related to the system of the Cinque Port pilotage, as it would open a. competition among the pilots, and, by their having cruising licenses, would encourage them to seek ships off Dungeness before the danger commenced, in lieu of await ing their; arrival within that point, which had hitherto been almost invariably the case, thereby jeopardising the safety of many of the valuably freighted inward bound ships, their supineness having originated from the mono poly they had up to the present period enjoyed. (H ear. ) He certainly thought that the bill would be consid ere d a great boon by the shipping interest. Mr. GEORGE gave his hearty support to the bill, which in his opinion did justice to the important steam interest connected with the port of Liverpool. He warmly ap proved of the power of appeal t o th e B oard of Tradein the event of the local boards refusing to licen se competent masters and mates; and, to show the injurious operatio n . of the existing system, he referred to the case o f th e Dublin and Liverpool Steam Company. The masters and mates employed by the company were experienced men, and knew every crevics of the port of Liverpool, but the local board refused to license them. In the last three years the company's vessels had made 2,736 voyages from port to port. .In only 245 cases had they employed the Liverpool pilots, and they had been compelled to pay for that service no less than 4,5001 . , being at the rate of 1,5001. a year. (Hear,. hear.) Mr. HILDYARD complained that the Liverpool board dealt as unjustly by the masters and mates of the steam vessels plying between that port and Whitehaven as they did those'of the Dublin company. Mr. LABOUOHE RE looked upon the bill as a great boon , to the mercantile marine. The local interest had always exercised a powerful influence in preventing the adoption of any measure calculated to improve the present defective system of pilotage. By means of that influence a bill, introduced by the late Lord Sydenbam, was defeated, which, had it been adopted, would have saved the shipping interest a large sum of money. A better spirit would, he trusted, animate the house on this occasion, and induce them to reject the amendment. The proposal for sending the bill to a select committee was a specious one, but, if the house agreed to it, the reformation of the pilotage system_ would be postponed to the Greek Kalends. (Hear, hear.) Lord CHELSEA wished the bill to be referred to a com mittee. He thought that a conclusive reason for adopting that course was to be found in the 9th clause of the bill, which proposed to deal with the funds of the Cinque Ports. That subject could alone be done justice to in a committee upstairs. Mr. CARDWELL said, that after the support which the measure had received from both sides of the house— after the-repeated addresses which it had been his duty to make on former stages of the bill—he should not at that late hour occupy the time of the house by going into de tails. (Hear, hear.) He should reserve those for the com mittee of the whole house, to which it appeared to be the general desire of hon. members to send it. He only wished to make one observation, for the purpose of bringing the sincerity of hon. members to the test on the subject. They had passed the second reading of the bill without a divi sion. Did they intend that the shipowners and those who were engaged in the commerce of the country should have the benefit of the reform of which the house had declared its approval by that second reading ? Because, if so, they ought to advance the bill the present stage, and permit the house to enter upon that fair deliberation which the sub ject required. (Hear.) If they sent the bill to a select committee, and called witnesses on the various points, as was now proposed, when, he should like to know, would the bill again make its appearance in that house ? The noble lord the member for Dover (Lord Chelsea) had spoken of the state of the funds of the Cinque Ports as a reason for sending the bill to a committee upstairs. With respect to that point, he begged to say that it was one which had engaged, and should continue to engage, his careful atten tion ; and he should be ready, when they got to that clause either to vindicate its provisions or substitute some rea sonable alterations ; but he should protest as far as in him lay against sacrificing the important principles of the bill by the unavoidable delay which would be the consequence of sending it to a select committee. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HENLEY said that no objections were taken to what the hon. gentleman had called the principles of his bill ; but the first nine clauses had nothing whatever to do with those principles. They referred to an entirely sepa rate and distinct subject—viz., the sweeping away of an ancient corporation and joining it to another, and that, apparently, without affording any protection to the inte rests of the body which it proposed to sweep away ; and he would ask whether they were more likely to delay the bill by discussing the financial question involved in those clauses over the table of that house, or by quietly endea vouring to settle the question in a committee upstairs to the satisfaction of all the parties concerned ? (Hear, hear.) He desired to see a good bill pass, and he would lend his best endeavours to perfect a good measure, but it was im possible to discuss such a bill properly across the table of that house The house then divided ; the numbers were, For going into committee ... ... ... 219 For the amendment ... ... ... ... 83 Majority ... ... 136 The house went into committee pro forma, but immedi ately afterwards resumed. SHERIFF COURTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill wont through committee pro form 42, when several amendments were introduced. COURTS OF COMMON LAW (IRELAND) BILL, The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. WHITESIDE said, it was impossible at that late hour (nearly half-past 12) to go into a discussion of the measure ; and, as, he had on a former occasion postponed the bill at the request of the Government, he hoped the noble lord, in accordance with the promise which had been made, would give him a good position on a Govern ment night. Lord J. RUSSELL was quite willing that the bill should come on as Government business, but he could not fix a day for it until he saw the progress of the financial measures. He would name, for the present, Monday week. HACKNEY CARRIAGES. Mr. FITZROY moved for leave to introduce a bill for the better regulation of hackney carriages in the metopolis, and briefly stated his reasons for thinking further legisla tion on the subject desirable. The great extent of the metropolis, and the increase of railway traffic, had ren dered hackney carriages an indispensable necessity to its inhabitants, but in no capital of Europe were such carriages so entirely removed from all efficient control and super vision as in London. He thought this state of things arose principally from the existing system of licensing these vehicles. No restrictions were imposed upon the number of licenses issued ; nor was the fitness of the carriages for the purposes for which they were to be used any part of the condition upon which the licenses were issued. To a small extent personal disqualifications existed with regard to applicants for licenses in the case of convicted thieves and minors, but these disqualifications were rather nominal than real. The consequence was, a crowd of vehicles, of a very inferior description, and with horses that had been graphically described by our first living novelist as only kept upon their legs by the rickety vehicles to which they were attached. (Hear, hear.) It appeared to him (Mr. Fitzroy) that the shortest way of securing to the inhabi tants of this metropolis vehicles in a fit and proper con dition for public use would be by entirely altering the system upon which licenses were issued, and he therefore proposed to introduce in this bill a provision that every person desirous of obtaining a license for using, or letting to hire, a hackney-carriage within the ltmits of the metro politan police district; should make his intention known to the Commissioners of Police, who should thereupon cause an inspection of the carriage for which he asked a license, and upon their 'certificate that it was in a fit and proper condition for public use he should obtain a license from the Board of Inland Revenue. Power would also be given to the Commissioners of Police from time to time to cause a fresh inspection of those carriages, and if a carriage should be found out of proper con dition the license would be suspended. There would be a penalty attached to the letting to hire any vehicle of this description after due notice by the Commissioners of Police that it was not fit for public use. (Hear, hear.) But, in addition to the unsatisfactory condition of these vehicles, the fare demanded for their use was excessively exorbitant. (Hear, hear.) No change had been made in that fare since its first introduction in 1831. Amid the general—he might say universal—tendency towards reduction in articles of general consumption, two thing s had hitherto successfully resisted the tendency. One sou the pint of extraordinary compound still called by rtesy a bottle of wine at an inn —(hear, hear), and the t (Hea rher fare p aw l per mile for the use of a hack cab. was every sew, W e were were now arrived at a time when there cent. ; and he should reducing that fare by at least 25 per 6d. -)er mile.

He proposed, therefore, that the Commissioner" of Police should, wherever they conveniently could, upon the stand cause some notice on a board to be put up, as at many railway stations, specifying the distance from that stand to the plires most likely to be resorted to, and that they be authorised to appoint men at the different stand s who should be furnished with lists signed by the Commis sioners of Police, and whose duty shduld be, on applica tion, to inform the hirer the amount of fare to which he would be liable. (Hear, hear.) This would tend much to the convenience of ladies and others who used cabs and were at present subj ect h ear.) The reduction to imposition.

Few were nt l awar that the sum laid out upon cab-fares by the inhabi tant of the metropolis amounted to 860,0001. a-year; and, to nently,_the reduction from ad. to 6d. per mile would save hem no less than 220,0001. a-year. (Hear, hear.) He oposed, also, to make it imperative on the driver to take ny person at a fare by time,- if the hirer should prefer it to la fare by distance, the charge by time to be 2s. an hour It was now permissive ; the driver might take a fare joer hour—viz., at ls. 6d., but drivers uniformly re fused.. As it would be compulsory on them, it would be reasonable to make it 2s. an hour. The driver was now permitted to retain for four days property found in his cab, and then take it to the Stamp-office, and, if not claimed in a year, it was sold for his benefit ; there was no reason for giving him the benefit of the property that happened to be left in his cab, and this bill would provide that he should take such property at once to the nearest police-station, where it should remain for a year, and, if not th en c l a i me d , be sold, and the pro cee d s go wards the charges of the execution of the provisions of this bill. It would also be provided that, on a dispute between the hirer and driver, the hirer might insist on being at once driven to the nearest police-court, to have his complaint immediately investigated, or, if the magistrate should not be sitting, to the nearest police-station, where his complaint should be entered, to be heard at the beginning of the sitting next day. These provisions, it might be h ope d , would b e for the convenience and comfort of a very large body of people in this metropolis. (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") Leave was given to bring in the bill. On the motion of Mr. KUNTZ, it was ordered that Sir George Grey and Mr. Labouchere be discharged from fur ther attendance on the Strangers and Divisions Committee ; and that Lord D. Stuart and Lord G. Paget be added to I . the cdmmittee. 1 ENCUMBERED. ESTATES COURT (IRELAND). Mr; WHITESIDE, in moving for " a return of the names and dates of th e pe titi ons lodged in the Court for Sale of Encumbered Estates in Ireland, and the respective dates of the allowance of the posting for sale in each of said petiti i f i ns," read an extract from a letter, showing that the Eneu tiered Estates Court was overwhelmed with business, and i quired what course the Government intended to pur sue ? Sir J. YOUNG replied, that no doubt the Encumbered Estates Court was overloaded with business. It was true that 7,000,000/. worth of property had been sold in the courtl Of that sum 4,000,000/. had been distributed, and ,000,000/. were in the hands of the commissioners. There remained nearly as much property to be sold as had been sold. The time of the commissioners, how - - ever, was taken up in adjusting the claims. One of the reasons why the night before last he postponed the bill of which he had given notice was, that he expected addi tional; statistical information from Ireland. It arrived yesterday. He waited on the Lord Chancellor, who re commended him to postpOne any proceeding till further reference had been made to Ireland, and an answer had been *eturned. A statement on the subject must be made by hiM (Sir J. Young) with diffidence ; and he could only as his; impression say; that the noble and learned lord had some )(Lope of framing a plan' which should relieve the com missioners from that onerous part of their duty which con sisted, in distributing the proceeds of sales to those who had claims, and, in short, to render available the Court of Chandery, which had been much relieved from business, whileithe Encumbered Estates Court was overloaded. It was wished at the same time to maintain the principle of the Encumbered Estates Court, that there should be an easy sale and transfer 'of the title, and a secure title to the purchaser, yet to leave the claims to be disposed of before the ordinary tribunals known to the law. ThEi return was then ordered; and Mr. WHITESIDE gave notice that to-morrow (this day) he shbuld move f or l eave t o i ntroduce a bill empowering) the qourt of Chancery to dispose of all claims relating to property sold und er th e E ncnmbered Estates Act.

Henceforward the salaries of officers would be fixed, and other arrangements made in reference to the trade at each port, and to the amount collected at it, and not according to any p&rticular clas sification. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND.) Mr. OTLAHERTY moved for returns of the entire amount which had been expended by the Commissioners of National Education in each of the four provinces of Ireland for the last five years, including grants for build ing, repairs, and fitting up of schools, purchase or rent of agricultural schools, or model farms, free stocks of books, and school requisities, salaries, and gratuities to teachers, expenses of inspection, and all other inci dental charges paid by the Commissioners, giving the amount expended in each province separately ; and of the several officers in connection with the Com missioners of National Education, both in the official establishment in Dublin and throughout the other parts of Ireland. who are in the receipt of 1001. per annum or upwards, specifying the sum paid to every such officer as annual stipend, travelling charges, house or office rent, or other incidental expenses, with the religious denomi nation of every such officer, and the county or province to which he belonged when he entered into the service of the Commissioners. Agreed to. RECORDS IN. THE TOWER. Lord D. STUART gave notice that on Monday next be would move for a return of the number of tons of saltpetre kept under a room in which the Parliamentary records were deposited in the Tower of London. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACT. Lord D. STUART gave notice that on the same day he would ask the First Commissioner of Works and Buildings whether it was his intention to bring in a bill for the amendment of the Metropolitan Buildings Act ? LICENCES FOR TRADE IN IRELAND. On the motion of Sir D. NORREYS, a return was agreed to of the comparative amount now charged for every licence for a trade or profession in Ireland. DUTY ON CURRANTS. In reply to Mr. EWART, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not his intention to reduce the duty on currants to the same proportion as that on raisins, the former being more valuable. Though he proposed to reduce the duty on raisins to 125., that would still be a higher ad valorem, duty than the 15s. now levied on currants. POST-OFFICE. In answer to Sir D. L. Evi.xs, Mr. WILSON said he was not aware that a petition had been sent to the Postmaster -General a month ago, soliciting him to fix the last delivery of letters at nine, instead of ten o'clock; but he would make inquiries, and ascertain whether, if such a petition had been received, any steps had been taken with-reference to it. BARNSTAPLE ELECTION. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said a petition had been pre sented to-night on the subject of the Barnstaple election committee, but he would suggest that no steps should he taken in it until after the motion for a commission had been disposed of. Mr. S. WORTLEY said he had no intention to found any motion upon it. DOCKYARD PROMOTIONS. On the motion of an Hoer. MEMBER the minute of council relative to dockyard promotions was ordered to be laid on the table of the house. BOARD OF HEALTH. On the motion that the house at its rising do adjourn un,til Monday next, litolnl.o,Hved.A.RfoCrOasUfaßrTbraoseke as tehoeinlp2laithnofthmatarachreltausrtnhande not yet been laid on the table. The return related to the number of persons employed as surveyors or engi neers under the Board of Health, specifying where so employed. Something in the shape of a return had been laid on the table of the house, but it was grossly imper fect. Sir W. MOLESWORTH said the return had been laid upon the table, though it was not printed ; and he was informed by the Board of Health that it was per fectly correct. The omissions which the hon. member complained of were attributable, not to the neglect of the Board of Health, but to the manner in which the motion for the return was worded. SOUTH SEA AND OTHER ANNUITIES COM• MUTATION BILL. _ . On the motion that the Speake; — doleave the chair for going into committee on this bill, Sir F. KELLY said it had been his intention to move an instruction to the committee relative to the creation of a new 2i per cent. stock, but he was told that the object he had in view could be as easily attained by moving an amendment in committee, and he would therefore not stand in the way of the Speaker leaving the chair. (Hear.) The house then went into committee. Clause 1 was agreed to without discussion. On clause 2, Sir F. KELLY expressed his entire dissent to the main principle of the scheme which this bill embraced. He apologised to the committee for being unable to deal with the complexities of the measure, but, at the same time, he promised th a t h e wou ld d o hi s best to apply a simple common sense understanding to the subject. He did not disapprove of the proposal to commute the South Sea Stock. The bill appeared to embrace three objects. The first was to bring about a large and substantial reduction of the capital debt of the country, the second the creation of a new Two and-a-Half per Cent. permanent Stock, and the third the authorisation ofanumber of Exchequeribonds to be issued. for the benefit of the commercial community. He had given the scheme his best attention; and the conclusion he had arrived at, was nothing more than this, viz., that it was inconsistent, impracticable, mischievous, and unjust, and he should feel it to be his duty to resist the measure to the last, unless the Go vernment would consent to abandon that portion of it which had reference to the creation of new stock for increasing the capital stock of the country. The new stock to be issued might be classed under three distinct heads—the first, he would call No. 1; the se cond, No. 2 ; and the third, No. 3. The first proposed to create a new 31 per Cent. stock with a guarantee that the interest should not be reduced below 2/. 17s. 9d. per annum for forty years. The second would create a new stock ' to carry interest at the rate of 21. 15s. per cent. per annum for a given period, viz., 40 years, at the expiration of which the Government were to have the option of paying off the stock at the rate of 1101. per cent. The third would establish a new system of Exchequer Bonds, easy of transference, and carrying interest after the rate of 21. 15s. in the first instance, and then a guarantee of 21. 10s. per cent. for 30 years. Now, he contended that these three alternatives were inconsistent with each other, and he must resist the whole scheme unless proposal No. 2 were altogether struck out. No. 1, if properly carried out, might ulti mately effect a saving of 700,0001. or 900,0001. a-year ; but Nos. 2 and 3 would at once add no less than 4,000,000/. to the capital stock of the national debt, and if he stood upon that objection alone, it would be sufficient to justify his resisting the present measure. But the dividend to be paid upon No. 2 was grossly excessive, when they remembered that the holders of the new stock were to be paid off with a bonus of 101. per cent., and that was an additional reason for his opposing the scheme. Who could say when it would be for the interest of the State to pay off the 2i per cents. ? but if that opportunity should arise, the sclieine would put it out of the power of the Legislature to accept it, because it guaranteed the interest for 40 years. Within the next 40 years the int eres t of money might fall from 3/. to 24 per cent. ; but if this bill should pass as it now stood, the Legislature, in availing itself of this state of things to pay off this stock, would have to pay a bonus of 10/. upon every 1001. worth of stock. [LEFT SPEAKING.) SHERIFF'S COURT-(THIS DAY.) (Before James Burchell, Esq.) ORM. CON.—RITSRBROOKE V. BROOKE. This was an inquiry to assess damages in an action for criminal conversation with defendant's wife. De fendant suffered judgment to go by default. The damages were laid at 5,0001. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Hawkins), appeared for the plaintiff, and stated the case. The plaintiff is Major Robert Frederick Brown low Rushbrooke, of Rushkrooke-hall, Suffolk, and son of the late Colonel Rushbrooke. Defendant, George Nathaniel Brook e , i s a cap t a i n i n th e navy , an d b rother of Sir Philip I3rooke. In 1844 plaintiff became acs' quainted with a young lady named Evans, and they were! married. Mrs. Rushbrooke was entitled to pro perty to the extent of 5001. a year, which was settled upon her for her own sole and separate use, and a also jointure to about the sane amount. Defendant was also person of good property, and likely to become a wealthy baronet. The learned counsel submitted that this Ivas a case icy which the jury would be justified in giving large damages, for Mrs. Rushbrooke was still entitled to the 5001. under the settlement. The facts of the Case respecting the elopement were then stated, as afterwards proved in evidence. The Under-Sheriff having summed up, the jury re tired,l and returned a verdict for 3,0001. for the plaintiff. TIE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) liORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, APRIL 11.

From the London New Price Current of this day.) - - SUGAR.—To-day there was a reluctance on the part of refiners and grocers to do business in West India, although there were sellers in some cases under the prices of Friday last. Purchases amounted to 522 hhds and tierces, in cluding at auction 120 hhds and 90 bits Demerara crystal ized, which sold at moderate prices ; low to fine greyish at 35s to 40s, and brown at 33s to 34.9 6d. Total trans actions for the week are 1,385 hhds and tierces. REFINED.—To-day refined sugar met with a brisk home trade demand, and the currency is firm. Brown lumps at 458 Gd to 48s, low to fine grocery 46s 6d to 495. per cwt. Prices are maintained for crushed sugar, there being several export buyers. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon importers of Mauritius sugar were desirous to realise, and accepted prices 6d under those of this day week. Still at auction 12,400 bags were nearly all sold—low to good mid yellow went at 30s 6d to 35s 6d, good to fine 36s to 375, mid to fine brown 31s to 33s 6(1, and refining from 32s to 36s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—To-day Bengal sugar was purchased with reluctance, and the decline for the week is 6d to 18 per cwt. Of 3,000 bags in auction not above one half sold ; low to good white Bengal 34s 6d to 36s Gd, a few lots of low grainy 338 to 345, and mid grainy whit e 40 8. M adras is rather lower, making a decline for the wee k o f Gd to is. At public sale 3,100 bags nearly all sold s o ft b rown at 275. to 28s, and ord yellow 28s to 295. COFFEE.—To-day the private operations in native Cey lon coffee were trifling, and at aucti on 300 b ags were taken in at 48s Gd per cwt. for good or d. Th e market for plan tation has a dull aspect, but prices are not lower than yes terday. TEA.—The proposed reduction of duty has not produced that excitement in the market that y t as expected. On Congou the advance has not exceeded per lb, but large transacttons have taken pl ace, the better sorts having been most in request, and home d ea l ers the leadi ig operators. TALLOW.—The proposed repeal of the soap duties has caused a considerable demand to prevail for Russian on the spot, and produced an advance. Fine yellow candle reali sing 46s 9d to . -47s per cwt. Important contracts have been entered into for delivery, and 47s 3d to 473 6d paid for last three months of the year. THE SR ARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS. RAILWAYS. Closing Prices this day.
