" (31 : 1 111 SEA COMPANY'S ARRANGEMENT AND TRUSTS BILL. ?,rathe motion for the third reading of this bill, 20 j en -r• SPOONER rose to move that the bill be re- 20 pi 'de (l - The bill, although standing on the private paper P . i tt a i s ) a 'public measure, and ought to have been brought p r Y the Government. It contained most extraordinary C o "isi " 8 , and gives the directors of the South Sea St th:Pa 'Ya power t o d ea l w ith more th an 3,000,0001. of St t ir litock, in a manner which the house would know St 4, 1 1 ' 4 4; of until a long time afterwards. The standing * lets had been suspended in favour of the bill ; and, 10 1 1 , °11 igh it was a measure of vast importance, they had 2e to s'grdi to statement whatever about it. True it was referred _ 1. in cidentally by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1-:' ; '4'aufe.ue.nt statement on the subject of the South Sea -4 ‘. thruliaes, but he could not gather from that or any. 2(‘ 00 ,,, 11 in the bill itself, that every member of the ' j ea u t Paly, or at least so large a proportion of them as to 51 f + ,Y the house in passing the bill, had received notice 2 , o S en '" purport and intention of this bill. The South 2 , rltneev -- aesr C ua lo a m ie p s a. s n , y ;. although a chartered company, was, 2 partnership, and, therefore,. in law, a 2 pan ore of this nature to divert the capital of the com- 2 herbe, from the object for which it was subscribed, could tlers ual made legal without the sanction of all the part thi_: He concluded by moving that the bill be read a this day three months. th ' 33 CATVERIE said the hon. member complained but this bill had been brought forward as a private bill, ‘; eouj la it was promoted by an incorporated company, It d not have been introduced in any other way. tr it t ed , a wise and important public object, and he itl,;would receive the assent of the house. to l r ake ' ELL - y said the effect of this bill would be van 11 th e South Sea Company a great trading com 44;:tier°;torYs,ingheml: business as trustees for other parties ; all the ugh that change might be advantageous to the contended that, without the sanction of thatl the proprietors, it would be neither more nor less 0 aet of spoliation to pass this bill. The real iyetations of this bill would be this, parties who had rested their money in South Sea Stock, under the CPression that it was for a particular purpose, would CPltid off without ceremony, if they did not consent to a terms of the bill. In point of fact, the South Sea 4 Pany was , a i copartnership, and the object of this bill Irto c om pel tne parties to dissolve the partnership. it, tb je assent of all the proprietors had been'obtained to tif course his objections to the bill would cease, but th, out that consent the bill was notning more nor less t; 4 an act of s poliation. and the h ouse ou g ht therefore fo!eject it. They were told, indeed, that the bill was th e tded up on a resolution passed by the company, but 4 .Y had no i n f or mation as to how m ussed or carr ied. They did notthe resolution was know whether all dre proprietors entitled to vote agreed to it ; if they h e; of course there would be an end to his opposition, th; ‘ n, a Po_n these points the house was a s y et entirely in lark ti l l". CARDWELL had examined the provisionsex o e f . and he had no doubt whatever as to its _p ( 7, or as to the necessity for passing it. The policy . ri l t he h the bill enunciated was approved of by the majo . kal 3 : of the company,and the reason it was not invesi i;" by a üblic committee was simply that the . : a - 4 km of the public committee was simply that the fthe house required that it should be d a prtie th-e bill. Being unopposed, it was referred rii ! C hairman of Committees, who thoroughly e.xa hted Lts provisions, and reported . it as unobjection hait' Whence, then, arose this opposition?. The bill asa e pT i n aPproved of by the company in public meeting s eo4 — uted, and since the supposed absen ce of the con eit the proprietors was the present ground of opp1:0_- .. t 0 ' , 1 " 4 1, he thought the house ought to experience no d f T :',Y passing;the measure. th e ', 4e amendment was negatived without a division, and ft e t l l was read a third time and passed.

The amount of 21. 10s. was also voted to five poor I rish fish ermen, who bad in the most creditable mannersav e d t wo out of five persons from (a capsized fishing boat in Cisortmascherry bay, on the coast of Cork. Th . e , accide n t happened about half a mile from the shore, and, the sea running high at the time, three persons were un fortunately drowned before assistance could reach them. New life-boats, on Mr. Peake's design, were ordered to be built, and to be stationed at Dungeness, Kent, coast l‘ieweastle Dundrum bay, an d C ran d f i eld point, on t h e of Down. The life bo a t on the same plan, belonging to the insti tution at C u ll ercoats, Northumberland, was reported to have saved, d ur i ng the late ,tempestuous weather, a number of poor fishermen, who whilst engaged in Vieir hazardous occupation, ' were overtaken soon after sunrise by a h eavy gale from the N.N.E. I Vlany of them succeeded in reaching the shore before the sea became so fearfully high, which it afterwards did, so as to prevent them entering the haven. The life boat, having been sent to their assistance, suc ceeded in bringing ten boats over the bar, some of which 'would with their crews inevitably have been lost had not the life boat gone off to their rescue, the wind and sea safety for them to run to. -A. communication was read from the Lincolnshire Life boat Association, requesting the institution to accept 5 01., in grateful acknowledgment of the original gift, in 18 25, of th e i r first life boat by the institution. The boat, which istationed at Skegness, was said to be in an efficient state, and to have saved about 100 lives of ship. wrecked persons. The proceedings then closed. SHARE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

The Lords Commissioners were—the Duke of Argyll, the Marquis, of Breadalbane and Lord Colchester. Their lordships then adjourned during pleasure. The house resumed at five o'clock. Lord WYNFORD presented a petition from the General Court of Proprietors of the East India Com pany, praying for a modification of the Government of India Bill. The noble lord said he deemed the prayer of this petition to be most important, and thought it was well worthy of attention at their lordships' hands. All that the petitioners wanted was that the best possible government should be extended to India, and inasmuch, as from their position, they must be well acquainted with the wants of India, he felt that any suggestions from them ought to demand the most serious consideration. They took exception to the system of Government nominees, and objected to the proposed reduction of the Court of Directors. Earl GRANVILLE said the Government would re ceive these suggestions with the respect that they de served, but at the same time it was only right that he should state that the Government did not concur in the views contained in the petition. THIRD READINGS. The Parish Vestries (No. 2) Bill, the Municipal Corporation Act Amendment Bill, the Burgh Harbours (Scotland) Bill, the Summary Jurisdict ion Bill, and the Petty Sessions (Ireland) Bill, (Ireland) were severally read a third time and passed. The Marquis of CLA.NRICARDE expressed a hope that the Government would give every facility for pass ing the two last bills through the different stages in the House of Commons, in order that th e y mi g ht become law this session. The Duke of NEWCASTLE gave an as that every facility would be afforded by the Government ; but at this late period of the session it did not rest en tirely with them to say that the bills conts.ining so many clauses as these should be passed into law. com mittee. ENTRY OF SEAMEN MIL. The Brecon Collegiate Church Bill went through On the motion for going into committee upaa_this bill, The Earl of HARDWICKE entered into a statement of the objections which he entertained to the bill. The house then went into co mmittee, sai d after a short discussion the clauses were a greed to. NA TIONAL EDUCATION IN NRELAND. The Earl of CLANCARTY asked f)r some papers connected with national education in Irel and, and wished to know when the report of the comaissioners would be produced. The Earl of ABERDEEN explained that the delay had been caused purely by mechanical Rffieulties. the The repor t would, he hoped , b e read y by the , end of ses sion, but the other papers were of sucill a voluminous character that the noble lord must be content to wait for them. The Earl LANCARTY thought that the whole conduct of the Government in the affair• showed a dis position to evade investigation. The Earl of ABERDEEN intimated that it was not the wish of the Government to treat thse motion of the the noble lord with any disrespect, :and that it'was not in his power to make officials perform impossibilities. Lord GRANVILLE added a few rei narks deprecat ing unreasonable demands upon the Government. Lord DONOUGUMORE also made some observe. tion3, and the subject dropped. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMNIONS-(YES TERDAY.) EDUCATION BILL. In reply to Mr. HADFIELD, Lord J. RUSSELL said he was told that if the Edu cation Bill was not proceeded with, hon.. members would put off the motions which they had oe.n the paper for Wednesday ; and though he had with& 'awn the bill, he must say he had not seen any correspo . n ding concession on the part of hon. members. (Hear I 3 ear.) He must ' appeal to the hon. m ember for North I\l arwickshire not to press a discussion on the motion Of the hon. and learned member for Bath. He was sure he would not wish that the house should be occupied i i•om twelve until six next Wednesday to no p urpose wh htever. (Hear.) He begged to say, in answer to the hon . member's ques tion, that it was not his intention to propose the second reading of the Education Bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE said he and other hon. members were determined not to be defeated in g iving expression to their opinions. KILMAINHAM HOSPE C.XL. In reply to Mr. VANCE, Mr. S. HERBERT said he had seen the p reort of the C omm i ss i one rs of Rilmainham Hospitali„ but he thought it would be better not to lay it on 'the tsi ble until he pro duced the warrant w hich was the root o f the report. CHARITABLE TRUSTS E ;ILL. Several amendments and new claus es. were brought up and added to this bill. m oved an amendment to exempt Lord J. RUSS ELL Roman Catholic charities from the ope .tion of the bill. Sir F.TFIESIGER viewed with gre , regret and con siderable alarm the course now adopts I by the noble lord, because though the words were feNs they were preg -1 nant with mighty consequences, and stnvolved a most important question. He certainly had a right to com plain of the period the noble lord had chosen for intro ducing so formidable a proposition. (Hear, hear.) The bill without the exemption had received not only the sanction of the House of Lords, but had passed through a committee of this house, and had been read a first and a second time without opposition, and it was not until just before going into committee that the noble lord in timated that it was his intention to propose an amend ment of this description, and if it had not been for the intervention of the right honourable member for Oxfordshire, it was possible that it would have been carried at a time when, without using an im proper metaphor, he might say the greater part of the life blood of the house had been withdrawn, and when the house was not in a very active period of existence. (Hear, hear.) The reason given by the noble lord for the amendment, was the apprehension by Roman Catho lics, that if the investigation under the bill was extended to them, it would be found that certain of their trusts were illegal, under the law against superstitious uses. But the bill had been long before the house and the public, and it was somewhat strange that the expression of their fears should have been delayed until now. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord, however, might have allayed those fears, instead of adopting and encouraging them. (Hear, hear.) It was absurd to suppose that any body of commissioners could, consistently with the spirit of the present day, endeavour to abolish or defeat trusts of this nature, merely because they came within the law against superstitious uses. Hear, bear.) He contended that the amendment would be mischievous towards the Roman Catholics, and would give them no benefit or advantage whatever, for it would leave them in a helpless and crippled state, and would de prive them of any opportunity of complain ing of any abuses or mal-administration of their trusts. It was true the noble lord had said it was his intention in a future session to bring Roman Catho lic charities under the machinery of the bill by some special enactment ; but what security had they that he would be able to fulfil his pledge ? The noble lord was not at the head of the Government. Strictly speaking, he was not even a member of the Govern ment. They knew perfectly well the opinions enter tained by the majority of his colleagues in the cabinet with regard to Roman Catholics, and how could they be secure that they might not consider the exemption of these trusts as a part of the natural development which ought to be given to that class of the community ? Looking, therefore, at the state of the house, and be lieving that the bill would not affect Roman Catholic charities prejudicially, he did think the best and most prudent course to pursue was to allow the bill to re main as it now stood. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL did not think the hon. and learned gentleman was justified in opposing the amendment that he had moved. It was true that there were defects in the Roman Catholic charities, but the house having ad mitted that it would be unjust to punish the Roman Catholics for these defects, seeing that it was from no fault of their own that these defects had arisen. Acts of Parliament had passed since the establishment of these charities which related to their organisation, but the nature of which the Roman Catholics themselves were ignorant of until it was too late to obtain an ex emption in their favour. An eminent barrister of the the Roman Catholic persuation had told him that many of the existing Roman Catholic charities were illegal— at least they were opposed to many of the provisions of the existing law. For instance, the many large sums that had been left for the performance of masses for the souls of the dead, and it had been laid down that such charitable bequests were at variance with the law which related to superstitious uses. Now, many of the Roman Catholic charities which were established for educa tional purposes were open to the same objection, and as this was a question of confidence on the one hand, and suspicion on the other, he thought the house ought to pause before they rejected this exemption. It might be all very well to argue that no one would ever attempt to prosecute a Roman Catholic charity under the Super 3titious Uses Act, but looking at the history of the past, h e thought the Roman Catholics might naturally enter tahi great suspicion as to the future if this bill included their charities, and he had therefore proposed that they should be exempt from the operation of this measure. He could not remove these apprehensions, nor satisfy the scruples of the Protestant feeling of the coun try by proposing any clause now for including Roman Catholic charities in this bill which would not lead to great discussion, and since there was not time for such discussion now, he thought it was better to exempt these charities for the present from the operation of this bill. The lion. and learned gen tleman seemed to complain that there was no guarantee that these charities would not be permanently excluded from the operation of this bill ; but upon that point, he thought, the house need be under no apprehension, for he believed it would be for the benefit of the Roman Catholics themselves that these charities should he placed under some such law as this, and eventually, he believed, they would be induced to accept a similar measure, when the law respecting superstitious uses should have been altered or amended in their favour. (Hear, hear.) He trusted, therefore, the house would not object to admit this clause into the bill, and leave the question of Roman Catholic charities to be dis posed of in a future measure, to be brought forward within the next two years, to which period this exclu sion would be limited. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NEW DEGATE opposed the exemption, as he did not believe the opinion of any Roman Catholic barrister was sufficient to justify the exclusion. He obiected to allowing Roman Catholic charities to remain under the arbitrary control of Cardinal Wiseman and the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. Suppose the operation of this bill, if it was extended to Roman Catholic charities, did disclose a state of things which showed that there were some of them opposed to the existing law, what difficulty was there in the way of introducing a few simple words providing for such a case, and thus pre vent the confiscation or alienation of Roman Catholic trust property. Under these circumstances ho protested against this exclusion, as it would open the door still further to the machinations of the Roman Catholic Church, and enable Cardinal Wiseman and others of her emissaries who came to this country charged with penary powers to divert Roman Catholic Trusts from their original purposes to the use of the Church of Rome itself. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HEA_DLAM was glad to hear the concluding re mark of the noble lord the member for the City of Lon don, for until that announcement was made he had been under the impression that this exclusion was to be per manent. It was now clear, however, so far at least as the noble lord was concerned, that this exemption was only to be temporary ; and he could have no difficulty, therefore, in adopting the proposal of the Government, upon the understanding that they would incorporate with it the amendment which he himself had suggested, namely, that the exemption should only extend to two years. He would therefore conclude by moving an addition to the clause to that effect. Mr. BOWYER said it was a mistake to suppose that the creation of the Roman Catholic hierarchy gave the Ro man Catholic bishops more control over Roman Catholic charities than they possessed before. He accepted this clause as amended ; and in doing so he had no objection to declare, on behalf of the Roman Catholics, that if it was found hereafter that this measure would affect their charities only to the same extent that it affected other charities, there would be no objection to a mea sure being passed to bring them under its provisions. Sir F. THESIGER was determined to divide upon the clause, because it involved a matter of principle. It went, in fact, the length of declaring that Roman Ca tholics ought to be put upon a different footing to those of other religious bodies, and to that principle he could never assent. (Hear.) The house then divided, when there appeared For the clause Against it 76 Majority The clause was accordingly added to the bill. ROYAL ASSENT. Mr. Pulman, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, here appeared at the table, and commanded the house to attend at the bar of the Peers, to bear the royal assent given by commission to several public and private bills, for which see Lords' report. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. The discussion on this bill was then resumed. On the motion of Mr. PHINN, a proviso was added to the bill bringing all schools with charitable foundations under the act. Mr. KINNAIRD moved an amendment with the view of excluding such societies as the Christian Know ledge, or the Bible Society, or the Religious Tract Society, from the operation of the bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said there was no necessity to add this amendment to the bill, as such societies which it contemplated were already excluded. The amendment was therefore withdrawn. The bill as amended was then considered, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. ASSESSED TAXES BILL. This bill was considered as amended, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The other twelve o'clock orders were disposed 4 and the house rose at 4 o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock. PETITIONS.

We all know that in this time unhappily deprived of the services of the Speaker, country, a ccording to the practice of this house, no vote of some one to discharge all the legal functions of that money es made unless upon the proposal of some Minister office ; but the committee had judged otherwise, and had of the Crown, and that the Crown has in fact the initiative agreed to recommend the house to place in the chair a gen in all grants of money, and all grants of money are made to tleman who might discharge all its duties within the house, the Crown.

And this leads me to another of the house, and he had sat u p on several occasions for error which has been committed, and that is , that while there has been laws in Jamaica providing for the perms ore han f hours at a tie.

SERIOUS MUTINY.—On the morning of the 18th of May, a serious mutiny occurred on board the ship Rock land, bound from New York to Australia with 200 emi grants. The disturbance commenced amongst some English and Irish sailors, who answered the captain in solently. A man named Bolt refused to do duty, and, when the captain ordered him in irons, the rest of the crew went forward and armed themselves with belaying pins. A Colt's revolver brought them to their senses, and six of the ringleaders, all English and Irish, were put in irons until the vessel arrived at Rio Janeiro, when they were delivered over to the authorities. The object of the mutineers was to induce the captain to discharge them at Australia. x in 29i 84a 5 1031 x d 20 114 i 13i 100 100 RQ 20 .toi i 70a 70 i 36 i m 4~ 1 34i 14 . 9/ 161 p 26i 46 45 41 361 361 "4a 2 8.1 fii - 6 3/- 9 9h i id 3 2 d 11 10,i 3 6 10 i s 4 g I na L all 311 C )00 17. • C.en t ; per itish At fine• -, ood •s at 5 6tl ord t at 31a and. ;I to cwt.
