refiard to the 3 xclusive burdens which the land bore, which preposition, if it had been carried, would have increased those burdens. On that occasion they, on his side of the house; saved the agricultural interest in spite of themselves. - It was said that they did not admit there were any exclu eve burdens on land. Why, it was on the ground of the `exclusive burdens on land that he defended the justice of the income tax, as at present levied. He would now de monstrate to any clear-minded man that the proposition of Win right hon. friend was more favourable to the landed in tweet than the proposition of the right hon. gentleman op posite. The right hon. gentlemansand profe ssions,opposite p roposed to im and 7d. pose a tax of only 50. on trades on land. His right hon. friend proposed to levy an equal tax of 7d. on both trades an d land.. That was a statement of fact which must be clear enough to its the landed interest. (Hear, hear.) Then his rig ht hon. friend proposed the in come tax with the hop e of being taken off at the . end of seven years ; and he poin ted out the means of bringing about this result . The right hon. gentleman proposed his income tax for three years without the slightest prospect of its being taken off at the end of that period, unless he nt on the tax on successions. (Hear.) Th en the ri ght p on. gentleman proposed to extend the tax between 501. and 1501. to the owners of land at a rate of 7d. His hon. friend proposed to extend it to incomes between 100 1. an d 1501. at a rate of 5d., whereby those incomes be tween 50 1. and 1001. would escape altogether from the tax, an d those with incomes between 1001. and 1501 . would have itspres sure diminished by 2d. in the pound. Which of the two propositions, he would now ask, was the most favourable to the owners of land and to the small freeholders? (Hear.) But he was told that he must take the income tax in con nexion with the tax on successions. He admitted the fair ness of that. Now, if the owners of land and real property thought that it was better for them that there should be a difference of rate in the income tax, instead of a tax on successions, they were labouring under the gr ea t es t mis take possible. (Hear.) He was firmly convinced that it was for their interest that a distinct tax should be levied rather than they should pay a different rate of income tax. (Hear, hear.) For what other mode of proceeding could be adopted ? He believed that the scheme of the actuaries was utterly unfair and impracticable. If they now began to make a distinction, they could not stop with the distinction between real and personal property, for there was as much difference between the combined skill and capital of the trader, and the skill alone of the professional man, as there was between real and personal property. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the exemption of real property from the tax on successions, he thought it was an anomaly that could not be maintained much longer in favour of the landed interest. (Hear, hear.) He, there fore, held that the proposition of his right hon. friend was more favourable to the landed interest than that of the right hon. gentleman, and he would advise the landed gentry to close with the bargain at once. (Hear, hear.) But the landed interest was threatened with the tax on successions by the right hon. gentleman opposite, for in proposing his sche me t o t h e house, he said that "he thought it not imp oss ibl e t o reconcile conflicting interests by levying a duty on successions." (He :r hear.) The only meaning the right hon. ge n tl eman ' s wor d s could bear was that he thought the personalty and the realty ought to be placed on the same footing. Omitting, therefore, from consideration all v i ew o f t h e i nterests o f th e genera l com munity, and looking to the landed interest alone, the pro position of his right hon. friend was far more in favour of that interest than the budget of the right hon. gentleman. At present, in m os t cases , the solicitors were ablp to avoid the legacy duty ; and the result of the proposed measures woulebe, that property left by deed would pay succes sion tax as well as property left by will. His conviction was that the largest amount would still be paid by person alty and not by land. Leasehold property was at present in an unfair position, having many exceptional rates and probate and legacy duties besides. Under the resolutions, provision would be made for crediting it with three items in levying the duties proposed ; end, on the whole, he trusted he had proved that it was quite a misappiehension to suppose that the whole, or the greater part, of the two millions would bo leviable on the land. Another advan tage would be the reduction of the duty on servants and carriages. As these were kept in the greatest number by the landed gentry, they would in the greatest degree be benefited, while at the same time encouragement would be given to increased employment of labour. On all those grounds he recommendedgentlemen opposite to acce pt the present proposals. The time must come when the legacy duty must Se conceded, and they could not possibly do it with better grace than at the present moment, when they were offered so many equivalents. (Hear, hear.) The next class of objectors were the members from Ireland. He would remind them that the amendment for which they - were about to vote would by no means prevent the exten sion of the income tax to Ireland. The hon. members for Cork and Roscommon had revived the old calculations which had been answered in the repeal of union debates, and the latter had talked of the consolidation of the exchequer of the two countries as a juggle, whereas it was a measure undertaken solely for the benefit of Ireland, and against the remonstrances of the country gentlemen of England. (Hear, hear.) The honourable member for Cork asked that Ireland should be treated the same as Scotland and Wales. He would ask in what way were these two latter countries exempt from English taxes ? (Hear.) Again, the hon. member for Roscommon reminded him of what he had said in December last, to the effect that he was not prepared to extend the income tax to Ireland. He would say the same now, if no compensa tion were to be given, and would not be a party to the pro posal of his right hon. friend, if his proposal did not con tain a full equivalent. That, he could assure the hon. member for Roscommon, was his recorded opinion before the proposal was laid on the table of the house. He thought he could show the hon. member that his (Sir C. Wood's) course had been perfectly consistent in the mat ter. In the first place, the house would remember that in December there was no question of the remission of the Consolidated Annuities. Mr. DISRAELI intimated that they had then the reso lution of the Lords' committee. Sir C. WOOD said that the right hon. gentleman did not consent to be bound by the report of the Lords' committee. On this point he could appeal to the hon. member for Mayo, who at the time complained that the Government were not prepared to be guided by the report. He would now turn to the question of how much Ireland would gain or lose by the proposed changes. The Consolidated An nuities would amount in forty years to 7,731,0001., while the whole of the income tax up to 1800 would be only 2,600,0001. In this view of the case there would be a gain to Ireland of upwards of five millions, and this, too, dis tributed over the whole of Ireland. The honourable mem ber for the West Riding had truly said that the parties who now paid the rates would not feel the weight of the tax, as while the rate went down to holdings of 41. a year, the income tax would not affect any farmer pay ing less than 2001. a year rent, the number of farmers in that situation in Ireland being exceedingly small. The tax would thus be paid almost exclusively by the land lord, who would have the right to deduct all the charges on land. To this he must add that all land held by per sons resident in England was already liable. Again the holders of property under 1001. a year in value, would not be liable, although at present they were liable to the rate. Now to show how much the tax would be a relief, as com pared with the present charges, he would take half a dozen of the most distressed unions in the west of Ireland and compare them. Castlebar paid to the Consolidated An nuities 2,6511. a year ; for income tax it would pay 9951. Galway paid, Annuities, 3,293/. ; income tax would be 1,7631. (Hear.) Oughterard paid 1,542/. ; income tax would be 3361. Scariff, Annuities 2,3661. ; income tax 6351. Skibbereen, 2,080/. • income tax 1,2001. Scull 934/. ; in come tax 3671. (Hear, hear.) In all these cases, too, it must be recollected that the Annuities were for forty years, and the income tax only for seven. (Hear.) Taking, therefore, those portions of Ireland which were pressed down by the incidence of taxation, he thought they would make a good bargain by accepting the Budget, and that generally Ireland would derive an advantage not merely in the amount remitted, but still more in the fact that the classes relieved would be the occupiers and the poorer classes, and that the new tax would be paid by those undoubtedly able to bear such a burden. Under these cir cumstancess the representatives of the western counties might find it worth while to pause ere they rejected so con siderable a boon. (Cheers and laughter.) With regard to the north and east of Ireland, the question was clear. (Ironical cheers.) Well, he had never said that 'hey had any claim to exemption. Why should not Belfast pay income tax as well as Liverpool ? Looking at the matter generally then, as regarded Ireland, he thought that that country would, on the whole, obtain a remission, large and substantial in character, at a very small price. As to the spirit duties, they stood on quite a different footing ; and he had always said that if allowance for waste in bond were conceded, the duties on Irish spirits must at once be raised. Unless it could be pretended that illicit distillation was thus encouraged there could be no valid argument for the low duties on Irish spirits ; and he doubted if the assertion could be made out that much illicit dis tillation really was presented to an extent to justify the low duties. The hon. member for Roscommon (Mr. F. French) had said that it would be a breach of faith to em ploy the constabulary in Ireland in checking illicit distilla tion and in general revenue purposes ; and the hon. mem ber for Kilkenny had complained that the Irish constabu lary was an expensive body which had nothing to do. Now, evidently, one gentleman's argument balanced the ether ; for the future the constabulary would be usefully employed, and the less objection would be offered by the hon. and learned member for Kilkenny, inasmuch as he was in error in supposing that Ireland paid for her constabulary, the fact being that that force was sustained by the imperial exchequer. Appealing, then, to the whole body of Irish members, he could not see how they could justify an oppo sition to a scheme so eminently favourable to them. (Cheers and laughter.) But to them and to other hon. members he would say, with the hon. member for Mon trose, that this budget must not be judged, however ex amined, in detail, but that it must be taken or rejected as a whole. (Hear, hear.) There were, doubtless, defects in detail ; it was impossible but that on a measure so extensive and so complicated, examination would show points where there might be amendments and improvements ; and his right hon. friend had already said that various proposals for modifications were under his consideration. But on the main points there could be nothine , to object to. The repeal of the soap tax would be a great bo on to rich and poor, and all classes. Some hon. member had said, " Why, this is a sop for Manchester," as if Manchester only washed its hands. (Laughter.) The price he believed would be seduced to the public far below the actual remission ; and indirect benefits to manufacturers would be as great as the direct benefit to the trade and it would also tend to the em ployment of more people. The export trade in soap was said to have been recently falling off ; and the improve ment there would, of course, be great and immediate. The other reductio ns were all carefully considered, and now few articles 0.

(Laughter and c h eers.) eers w the income tax, he agreed in much of the right hon. friend the member for PortsmouvrlviaNdvhichnhinsf it. (Ironical cheers.) Yes, he was glad that there w as of a prospect of its eventual removal. (Ironical cheerZw"lot he was alive to the advantages which it had conferred, had enabled us to carry free trade—to adopt the p r i nc i ple " of unrestricted competition—and it would continue to en able us to make great strides in the same direction ; and when it had done its task the weapon could be put back into the armoury from which it had been taken. (Ch eers. ) In taking further strides in the spirit of th? commercial policy f 1846, the Government were entitled to rely „ o s u pport of all those who had, in the early part session,of the put on record their adherence to the new el cheers.)

(Cheers.) On the motion of Mr. G. H. MOORE, the debate was ad journed to this day. The house resumed, and immediately went into Commit tee of Supply, when some formal resolutions were passed, and the house again resumed. committee on this going (SCOTinLtAo m b c T o D) tai ß On S th H e E o ß rd l e E r E f of the COURTS 8 r bill, Mr. CRATJFURD said that at that hour (12 o'clock) it was too late to discuss the measure, and he was anxious to move the resolution of which he had given notice : " That in the opinion of this house, no measure of Sheriff Court reform will be satisfactory to the country which does not proceed on the principle of abolishing the present system of double sheriffs." He was the more desirous to move the resolution, as he had been informed the Government were going to send the bill to a committee upstairs. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the proper time for the resolution would be when the bill came down in an ap proved shape from the select committee, After a brief conversation. in the course of which Mr. COWAN complained that Scotch business was always thrown over till 12 to 1 o'clock in the morning, and the LORD ADVOCATE stated that the bill was approved of by a large majority of the people of Scotland ; and explained that the present proposition was that it should be referred to a select committee. The bill was referred to a select committee. COUNTY ELECTIONS POLLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed, after some conversation originated by Mr. Forbes Mackenzie with re ference to the giving publicity to the places for polling, which he urged would be better effected by the insertion of advertisements in the North British Advertiser than in the Edinburgh Gazette. The other orders of the day were then disposed of. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS. _ Mr. TUFNELL obtainedleave — tobriTUg M a bill to ex tend the provisions of certain acts to municipal corpora tions not included in the Municipal Corporations Act, 1835. WEIGHTS IN THE SALE OF BULLION. Mr. WILSON obtained leave to bring in a bill for regu lating the weights used in the sales of bullion, the object of which he proposed to state on the second reading. The house then adjourned at 20 minutes to one o'clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. We have to announce the death of retired Commander J. Swain. Commander Swain was in receipt of the out pension of Greenwich Hospital. APPOINTMENT.—Lieut. C. N. Pears, to be agent on board contract steam-mail vessels. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 28. The Agamemnon, Captain Sir T. Maitland, steamed out of the harbour to Spithead this afternoon. She saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, which was returned by the Victory. The Plumper screw-sloop was undocked this morning and placed in the steam factory basin, to receive her masts ready for commission. The Highflyer steam-frigate, Captain Moore, hauled alongside the hulk this morning, to receive her crew and reship stores ready for service. ' The Conflict advance steam-sloop was taken out of the harbour yesterday by Captain Henderson, C. 8., for the purpose of making another trial of her speed in Stoke's Bay, and to-day she has been again replaced in the steam basin. The Hastings, 72, is returning stores with the utmost dispatch, and has nearly unrigged the ship. Notwith standing the unfounded, malicious, and abominable re ports that have from time to time been raised against the officers of this ship, we can vouch for it that a happier or more effective ship's company never came home to their native land ; and it gives us the utmost pleasure to record this fact. In gunnery and the small arm exercise Captain Chads, no small authority, was pleased to compliment them most highly on their per fectness, and this on a day when the glass stood at 42, and the men had just returned from a climate where th e temperature was 90. The following ships now form the squadron at Spit head :—The Agamemnon, 91, screw-ship, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland ; London, 90, Captain E. Eden ; Im perieuse, 51, steam-frigate, Captain Watson ; Sidon, 22, paddle-steamer, Captain Goldsmith ; Encounter, 14, screw-frigate, Captain O'Callaghan ; Cruiser, 14, screw sloop, Commander the Hon. G. H. Douglas ; Basilisk, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Hon. Francis Egerton ; Banshee, paddle steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander Hoskin. The Hendrick Hudson, American packet, arrived last evening from the Thames, and sailed this morning for New York. Wind, N.E. ; thick cloudy weather. SHEERNESS, APRIL 27. The Lizard, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel, in charge, pro tem., of Lieutenant S. H. Ricketts, of the Waterloo, is manned and officered from the Waterloo, and left this day for Ostend, on particular service. The Cuckoo, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, in command, Jiro tem., of Lieutenant Martin, of the Waterloo, has been manned and officered from that ship, and has taken her station at Greenhithe, to overhaul the outward bound merchant-ships for deserters from the Royal navy. _ _ _ The Rhadamanthus, steam-transport, Master-Com mander John Belam, arrived here at five p.m. this day from Portsmouth, with stores for this and Chatham yard. She proceeds hence to Woolwich. The Rhadamanthus brought one of the Deptford vic tualling hoys in tow from Margate Roads, and cast her off at the Nore. She has also brought 16 volunteers ' from the fleet at Portsmouth round for the Phcenix, Captain Inglefield, at Woolwich ; 15 boys entered from different ports—viz., this, Woolwich, and Deptford, who have refused to he naval apprentices for the term of ten years, and now discharged the service, and a few volun teers for this port. WOOLWICH, APRIL 28. The Phcenix steam-sloop, Commander Edward A. Inglefield, has been joined to-day by Lieutenant Bellot, of the French navy, who previously served as a volun teer in the arctic regions with Mr. Kennedy, in Lady Franklin's vessel the Prince Albert. M. Bellot intended to have proceeded with Mr. Kennedy this year in the Isabel screw-steamer, belonging to Lady Franklin, and now on her way, to Behring's Straits, but owing to domestic affairs he was unable to proceed with her, but, to show his ardour in the search for Sir John Franklin, he has volunteered to proceed to the North Polar regions in the Phcenix, under Commander Inglefield. The Phoenix has to-day taken on board 50 tons of patent fuel, which has been all placed on deck at the stern of the vessel, and yet has left ample room for navigating her. It appears the Diligence is at Devonport, and not at Deptford, as was inadvertently stated. on Tuesday, but she is to be immediately brought round to Woolwich, under the charge of Lieutenant James E. Elliott, who has been to Devonport to obtain able seamen for service in the Phcenix, and has succeeded is. obtaining 20, who will navigate the Diligence to this port. Fifteen able seemen have also volunteered at Portsmouth for service in the Phcenix, men having been allowed to volunteer from any of the ships in commission. The Melampus, 42, is ordered to take on board the boilers of the Encounter, at Woolwich, and will be towed by the Cyclops while conveying them to Ports mouth, where it is now decided the Encounter will have her new boilers put on board. One sergeant, 1 corporal, 1 drummer, and 25 privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines left head quarters here to-day for Portsmouth, to embark at that port for service afloat. The Lizard, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel of 150- horse power, arrived here yesterday from Sheerness, and, having taken on board some anchors and stores, left this morning in charge of Captain Washington, of the surveying service, and is to be engaged in laying down a telegraphic wire between this country and Ostend.

The man who fell overboard was also drowned. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 29. 1853. *it El:talon SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord SAYE and SELE presented petitions in favour of the Jewish Disabilities Bill. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented petitions from Southampton and other places to a similar effect. The Earl of MALMESBURY presented petitions from Hampshire against the admission of Jews into Parliament ; also, from Whitehaven, against the open ing of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions from places in Lancashire, praying for the extension of the county courts jurisdiction. The noble lord proceeded to urge on the Government the propriety of introducing some measure to lessen the fees exacted from suitors in the county courts, which now amounted to more than 25 per cent. of the whole amount recovered. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Govern ment felt the necessity of such a measure, and had the subject at present under their consideration. Lord CAMPBELL expressed himself desirous of see ing some measure passed to remedy this great abuse. The Bishop of CHICHESTER presented petitions against the Jewish Disabilities Bill. Similar petitions were presented by Lord BERNERS, the Earl of DERBY, Earl of SHAFTESBURY, and other noble lords. The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Town Council in favour of the Jewish Disabilities Bill,also petitions from places i❑ Sussex to the same effect. Similar petitions were presented by the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Newcastle, and the Earl of Albemarle, from the Great St. John-street Synagogue. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the Crystal Palace Companies Bill was read a third time and passed. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from a place in Sussex, against the malt tax. JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL. The Earl of ABERDEEN rose to move the second reading of this bill. Two years ago when the subject was before the house, he had voted against the measure, but about Jan. or Feb., 1852, he had changed his opin ion on the subject, and before the accession of the noble earl opposite to office, he had mentioned to his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer and to the noble lord near him (Newcastle), his intention of sup porting the measure when itagain came before Parliament. He had stated this now in order that it might not be supposed his change of opinion might not have any thing to do with late political combinations. (Hear.) The disabilities under which the Jews at present la boured were the remnant of that feeling of persecution which had formerly prevailed throughout all Christen dom. We had looked upon the Jews as a people which had committed an inconceivable crime, and having im precated upon their own heads the Divine curse, and we had taken upon Qui selves more or less to give effect to the Divine wrath and carry out the vengeance of the Al mighty. It had long been acknowledged by all that re ligious disbelief or religious error should be no obstacle to the enjoyment of civil rights, and the Jew was the only exception to this rule. The disabilities which Par liament had formerly imposed upon the Roman Catholics were not enacted because of their religious tenets, but in consequence of their political opinions. It was said that this measure would unchristianise the nation ; but they had allowed J e ws t o enter the legislatures of Canada and Jamaica, and yet the effect had not been to unchristian ise these colonies. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING., The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock J PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Rossendale Waterworks Bill was read a third time, and passed. The London Docks Bill, and the Londonderry, Ennis killen, and Sligo Railway Bill, were considered, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. TOTN ES ELECTION.

Mr. FREWEN presented a petition from Sussex in favour of the total repeal of the malt duties. Lord GODERICH presented ,several petitions from Yorkshire in favour of legalising marriage with a de ceased wife's sister. Mr. OLIVEIRA. presented several petitions from Kent to the same effect. Mr. A. HASTIE presented a petition from tea and coffee dealers in Glasgow, against any increase in their annual licenses. Mr. A. KINNAIRD presented a petition from En field, Middlesex, against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday. Mr. HEADLAM presented a petition from Newcastle, in favour of the reduction of the duty on cork ; also a petition from Gateshead, approving of the proposition to extend the income tax to Ireland, and generally in favour of the Ministerial budget. Lord BROOKE presented a petition from Warwick shire against the malt tax. Lord D. STUART presented a petition from Fredk. John Cheshire, on behalf of himself and other settlers in Canada, complaining of being ejected from certain lands purchased by them from the British Government, on the ground of such lands forming part of an " Indian re serve." Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from the Man chester Chamber of Commerce, praying that the gene ral propositions of the budget be passed into a law. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition from the Polytechnic Institution, Southampton, in favour of the distribution of Parliamentary papers to literary and scientific institutions. CLERGY RESERVES BILL. The SPEAKER acquainted the house that the Lords had agreed to the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill. (Cheers.) THE BUDGET. Lord PALMERSTON presented a petition from Finsbury, in favour of the Government financial scheme, RAILWAY AMALGAMATION. In reply to Mr. RICARDO, Mr. OA.RDWELL said it was the intention of the Government to lay down their views on the subject of railway amalgamation in the course of the present session. M. KOSSUTH AND THE SEIZURE OF ROCKETS AT ROTHERHITHE. On the motion that the house at its rising do adjourn until Monday next, Sir J. WTALMSLEY said it would be in the recol lection of the house that when he put a question a few days ago to the Government respecting the seizure of rockets at Rotherhithe, he received an intimation that legal proceedings on the subject were then pending. Since then he had received a communication from M. Kossuth, in which he unequivocally stated that he had no connection either directly or indirectly with the manu facture of warlike stores or arms in this country. Other statements had been publicly made on the same subject, and they were gaining general credence in the metropolis greatly to the injury of the reputation of M. Kossuth. He therefore wished to ask the noble lord the Secretary for the Home Department, whether the legal investigation into the seizure of arms or warlike stores at Rotherhithe, had resulted in substantiating the charges or insinuations that Louis Kossuth was con nected therewith ; and, whether the police had been employed to watch the residence of Louis Kossuth or the houses of other political refugees. Lord PALMERSTON said the house was aware that one of the proceedings before the Bow-street Magistrate with regard to the seizure of gunpowder was closed, and that a decision had been given, and that, with regard to the other case as to the rockets, the magistrate interrupted the proceedings, and stated that he thought the case ought to be sent before another tribunal. The honourable gentleman had asked him what was the result of this latter proceeding as regarded certain im putations which had been cast upon M. Kossuth. Now he really could do no more than say, that that which had hitherto passed in regard to these proceedings was now before the public, and that every man was in a position to form his own opinion upon that which had been stated in evidence. (Hear, hear.) When the further proceedings which were pointed out by the magistrate were entirely concluded, the pub lic would then have still better grounds on which to arrive at a decision. With regard to the last question, he had to state that it was the duty of the police, according to their general as well as their special instructions, to watch the proceedings of any persons, whether Englishmen or foreigners, who were open—it might be rightly or wrongly—to the suspicion of con templating any breach of the law. (Hear, hear.) Nei ther M. Kossuth, nor any political refugee in this coun try, could ibe exempt from these ordinary precautions, which were taken against any individual, whether he was a British subject or not. (Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether the proceed ings taken by the police in this matter were in the first place instituted in consequence of, or arose from, direct or indirect instructions from the Home Department. The noble lord, in his answer the other night, and to night, had taken a course which in his (Mr. Bright's) opinion was not becoming his position, nor becoming the Government of this country in regard to Kos suth. They spoke in that and the other house as if we offered a refuge to the exiles from all foreign countries— (hear, hear)—but it had been broadly stated in the public press that the Government had either di rectly or indirectly permitted spies to be set on the house of M. Kossuth— -(hear, hear)—andlon all the per sons who went in or came out of the house, and who were supposed to have any communication with him. (Hear, hear.) Then there was a seizure of cer tain war stores at Rotherhithe, and the newspaper which was the great organ of the Government, pv.b lished the most defamatory charges against Louis Kos suth. The noble lord, who must know all the facts of the case as well as any man in the kingdom, was asked to state, not the whole circumstances of the case, but whether he had any evidence which con nected M. Kossuth with the proceedings at Rq. therhithe ; but instead of giving a direct reply, he ' spoke in the most evasive manner, and although he said he did not wish to cast imputations on M. Kossuth or any one else, he allowed charges to go forth to the world, and studiously avoided saying anything which would lead the public to feel that there was no evidence at all against that individual. (Hear, hear.) His own opinion was that Kossuth honestly intends to obey the law while he remained in this country, whilst they had his word of honour that he was in no way con nected with these proceedings at Rotherhithe. He wished, therefore, to know whether the Government had caused these proceedings to be instituted, or whether they had any evidence in their possession which could at all implicate Kossuth in the matter ? Lord PALMERSTON found fault with the hon. mem ber for the ignorance he displayed of our constitutional law. The hon. member took him to task because he would not answer a question which no one had a right to put to him as a Minister of the Crown. The honourable gentleman wanted him to prejudge a case that was now being tried in a court, but he could do nothing of the sort. (Cheers.) It was no part of his duty to explain the conduct of the judges of a constituted court ; but with regard to the other questions put to him, he had no hesitation in stating that these proceedings had been taken under instructions issued from the Home-office. He had no desire to shi ink from the responsibility of his office, and that admission be made candidly and openly. (Cheers.) With regard to the question of refugees residing in this country, they were as free as the air they breathed so long as they obeyed and respected the law, but when thy violated the law, they as well as Englishmen, must be held responsible to the constituted authorities of the land. (Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT said the noble lord's excuse would have been perfectly justifiabl e h a d th e procee di ngs been taken against Kossuth instead of Mr. Hale, and therefore he had betrayed no ignorance of constitutional usage in that house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. COBDEN said this matter could not be allowed to rest here. The noble lord had evaded the question put to him. The noble lord said it was a breach of constitutional doctrine to ask these questions, but he denied that most positively. (Hear.) Was Mr. Commissioner Mayne to be allowed to set a policeman to watch his house, and yet not be respon sible to any one for such conduct ? Certainly not. The commissioners were responsible to the Home Secretary, and the minister could be constitutionally called upon to give some explanation of his subordinates to the House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) Honourable members might cry " Oh, oh," but let them remember what had been said about the vaunted freedom of the country, and then think that it was just possible that they were standing between Austria and these unfortunate refu gees by demanding these explanations. (Hear, hear, hear.) He, therefore, blamed the noble lord for the tone he had adopted on this occasion, and if he valued his character out of doors, where most assuredly this matter would be again taken up, he would consent to give candid and explicit answers to these simple questions. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PHINN deprecated the tone which had been adopted on both sides in this discussion, but the noble lord, when he talked of constitutional usage, should remember that the people of this country looked with jealous eyes upon anything like an interference on the part of foreign powers in our domestic affairs, and these pro ceedings were calculated to excite a good deal of irrita tion out of doors, following as it did upon a remon strance which had recently come from Austria. (Cheers.) The noble lord had displayed a pro per reserve in declining to prejudge a case which was being investigated by a court of law, but at the same time the noble lord should bear in mind. that the name of M. Kossuth had been improperly mixed up with the proceeding, and he ought now to state distinctly whether he had any intention of following up the charge which had been made in the prosecution against Kossuth ? (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON protested that he had made no charge against Kossuth, nor had he any intention of directing a prosecution to be taken against that gentle man: The hon. gentleman for the West Riding had tqouihtimem He isapprheandenndoet b d the question called n qu up wh o i n c h t had a d e x p b l e a e i n n t put he conduct of a police commissioner, but he had been asked if he thought there was sufficient evidence in the hands of the police to convict certain parties of an offence ! eo (Hear, hear.) Now, that was a question which must be left to a court of law, and which he could not be ex pected to answer. It was in that respect, then, that he found fault with the hon. member for Manchester for having displayed ignorance of the constitutional doctrine observed in the house, and not because he wished to shrink from the responsibility which attached to the office that he had the honour to fill. (Hear.) Lord D. STUART must again take the opportunity of telling the noble lord that in his opinion he was pur suing a course that was highly calculated to lower him in the estimation of the country. The people of England were averse to a system of police espionage for political pur poses, and the Government might depend upon it that if they kept up that species of annoyance to foreign exiles couldtion o resistut of i d t o . o s H t e h a a r t , nh hear a G r over t n w m o e u n i t d , b h eo much who had sought re f uge on our s h ores , th ere wou ld ar i se such .) as b tn e r t oa lr git i a f the noble lord would display a little more candour, h and h confess against Kossuth, s a n t t on ce h , w heh that he believed b e l ad i ev e n d o w e a y s i evidence about whatever the faet At all events let the noble lord give up doing the work of Austria, and consent to make such replies to these interrogations as should be calculated to satisfy the public mind and remove their anxiety upon the subject. (Hear.) After a few words from Mr. FRENCH, the, discussion dropped. BOMBAY JUDGES. Mr. OTWAY wished to ask the President of the Board of Control, whether he will inform the house of the cause of the dismissal of two judges of the Sudder Adawlut by the Bombay Government, and whether he will lay on the table of the house all the papers and corres pondence relating to the dismissal of those high judicial functionaries. Sir C. WOOD was not prepared to answer the ques tion, as the Overlaid Mail had not yet arrived. The motion that the house at its rising should adjourn until Monday, was then agreed to. 75th Foot—Ensign Leopold Brown, from 70th Foot, to be Lieutenant, without purchase, vice Campbell Mitchell, April 29. 76th Foot—Captain Thos.

THE BUDGET-ADJOURNED DEBATE. The house then went into Committee of Supply. Mr. MOORE resumed the adjourned debate, and said he could not help expressing some surprise at the differ ent grounds upon which hon. members who were going to support the Budget formed their determination. The removal of the income tax in seven years, could only be supported on the ground that distance lends enchant ment to the view. [LEFT SPEAKING.] THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

ANECDOTE OF Mr. JUSTICE TALPOURD.—The won derful memory of Mr. Justice Talfourd was exemplified in a remarkable manner at the Gloucester Assizes last 'mask. He had to try a prisoner for breaking into a house at Bristol. The police had previously used the utmost means to ascertain his former course of life in vain ; nothing whatever could be found out about him. At the trial, Judge Talfourd was observed closely to scrutinise the prisoner's face, and after he was found guilty, he said, " Did not I try you two years ago at York, for murder 1" The prisoner persisted in the strongest manner that the judge was mistaken, but Mr. Justice Talfourd had sufficient confidence in his recol lection of the prisoner's face to convince him he was the same man. He was sentenced for the burglary to ten years' transportation, and coming down to Bristol in the train, he admitted that the judge was perfectly correct. —Bristol Times. A NOVEL SPECULATION.—An Anti-Slavery Associa tion has been formed in Hamilton. A most extraordi nary circumstance took place a short time ago, in the way of trading in human flesh by parties in Canada. A man, named Smith, residing in the township of Trafal gar, entered into a speculation of this nature with two young negroes. The agreement was that they should go south ; that Smith should dispose of his partners in the speculation in the slave market ; they relying on the ability to escape from the servitude with which they were to allow themselves to be fraudulently sold ; after which the booty was to be the common plunder of the three strange conspirators. This arrangement was no sham, for the journey was undertaken, and the sale ac tually made ; but the escaga has yet to be heard of. Probably the acting partner, who has returned to Canada with the cash in hand, is not anxious to see the arrival of the two missing claimants to share in the ill-acquired booty.—American Paper.

BANKRUPTCY ANNULLED. William Ward Andrews, ironmonger, Wolverhampton. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a court was held ; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, the same were allowed to have been correctly entered. Several docquets for the Hospital and City Seals were then passed, and a considerable number of persons ad mitted to the freedom of the City. THE PROPOSED NEW BRIDGE OVER THE THAMES. Mr. R. C. BUCKNALL moved that the report delivered in on the 14th of April, 1853, should be considered. This report had reference to the proposed erection of a new bridge between Blackfriars and Southwark bridges, and to the rebuilding of Blackfriars-bridge, as recom mended in the report of the Bridge-house Estates Com mittee, on the Ist of July, 1852. A very long conversation ensued upon the question. Mr. ANDERTON thought it would be far better to let the question stand over for a short time, as Mr. Oliveira had given notice of a motion in the House of Commons with respect to the state of the metropolitan bridges, and the necessity for increased accommodation. _ Mr. H. L. TAYLOR and other of the most influential members of the court, were of opinion that, in the original movement, a question of so much importance to the citizens of London and the residents in the metro polis generally, should be submitted to the calm con sideration of a committee. That had been done, and it must be admitted that they would not do more nor less than support the committee in their report. Subjoined we give a copy of the report in question : " To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in Common Council assembled. " We, whose names are hereunto subscribed your com mittee for letting the Bridge-house Estates, do certify that by an order of this honourable court, ol the 23d day of September last, it was resolved and ordered that no fur the; proceedings should be taken in the proposed rebuild ing of the bridge at Blackfriars, especially a temporary bridge, until your committee should have examined and reported on the propriety of building a new bridge across the Thames, between Blackfriars and Southwark bridges, and the probable cost of the same, and the approaches thereto ; and that our report of the first day of July last, recommending the rebuilding of Blackfriars-bridge, should be referred back to us accordingly. We proceeded in the said reference, and were attended by Francis Bennoch, Esq., deputy, the mover thereof in your honourable court, who was heard thereon, and explained his views upon the subject, and we examined the plans also referred to our con sideration by your honourable court. We then proceeded, accompanied by Mr. Deputy Bennoch, to view the situation in which the proposed new bridge, shoivn upon the said plans, was intended to be placed, and also the lines of the approaches thereto, both on the north and south sides of the river ; and it appearing to us to be desirable that an additional bridge should be erected between Blackfriars and Southwark bridges, we directed the architect and sur veyor, in conjunction with Robert Stephenson, Esq., civil engineer, to consider the most eligible site for the erection of the same, and report their opinion thereon to us ; and we have caused copies of their reports to be hereunto an nexed, for the information of your honourable court. " And we having fully and maturely considered the sub ject, are of opinion that from the increased traffic over the River Thames the present bridges are not adequate to the public requirements ; and it is therefore desirable that an additional bridge should be erected between Blackfriars bridge and Southwark-bridge, provided the necessary funds can be obtained for that purpose. Your committee, however, do not feel justified in incurring the expense ne cessarily attended upon ascertaining the probable cost of building such new bridge, and forming the requisite ap proaches, without further instructions from your honour able court ; but should your honourable court concur in the opinion of your committee that a new bridge is desi rable, your committee recommend that we should be em powered to obtain designs for the construction of such new bridge, with estimates of the probable expense of erecting the same, and of forming the requisite approaches thereto, and lay the same before your honourable court. And we recommend that it should be referred to us to consider the best means to be adopted in order to obtain the necessary funds for carrying the works into execution, and to report thereon to your honourable court. " We further certify, that having re-considered the re port presented by us on the Ist day of July last, we are still of opinion that the recommendations therein contained should be adopted by this honourable court. "All which we submit to the judgment of this honour able court. Dated this Bth day of April, 1853. " R. G. PEAD. "JAMES BAILEY. " SEPTIMUS READ. " JAS. WATERLOW. " BENJ. ED. BROWN. " JAS. M. BARNARD.

The report having been read, much discussion fol lowed, Mr. Elliott moving, in the course of the debate, an amendment which, however, he subsequently with drew. The matter, therefore, remains for future consi deration. The discussion upon the above subject was extraordi narily bare of interest, although it was continued for nearly two hours. Some other necessary business having been transacted, the court was adjourned at a quarter past four o'clock, 40 members not at that time being present. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The fineness of the weather and the attraction of the One Thousand Guineas Stakes drew together a large concourse of spectators, and the p rocee d ings on the h ea th created a very lively interest. The One Thousand occasioned much active speculation, and the result of the race was quite u nexpected—Mentmore Lass was the winner. She did not arrive at Newmarket until Wed nesday, and was scarcely mentioned in the betting ; in deed, her owner had little trustworthy knowledge of her racing ability. She had not, we believe, been tried, and this was her first performance. Her success was very favourable to the fielders. Mentmore Lass is the pro perty of Baron Rothschild. In the morning Lord-Lieu tenant came up with a surprising rush into the betting on the Che s t er C up, and at once obtained a position amongst the leading favourites ; a good deal of money was invested at prices varying from 20 to 15 to 1. 15 to 1 also taken about Newminster. For the Derby, 18 to 1 was taken about Umbriel, and 22 to 1 about Brocket.
