• sented to their lordships on Friday evening last from the Metropolitan and Provincial Law Association, on the subject of one of the clauses. That clause provided that the examiners should be appointed from the class of barristers. The members of that association complained of that provision, alleging that it was a grievance to them that the chances of appointment should not be xxtended to solicitors as well as barristers, and that s olicitors should be ineligible to those offices. He w i k3 hed to observe for their satisfaction that the subject had been well considered in another place ; but indepen dently of that, it would be impossible not to confine the appointment to barristers without acting on a different principle from that which had been laid down in analo gous cases. The new Vice-Chancellors must be selected from the class of barristers, and the duties of the exa miners were now so extensive and so important, that it would be impossible to secure fit persons from any other class than that of barristers. The solicitors must, there fore, not consider that any slur was cast upon them by the provisions of this bill. The bill then passed through committee. MUTINY BILL. On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN, this bill was read a third time and passed. MARINE MUTINY BILL. On the motion of the same noble earl, this bill was also read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.— ;YESTERDAY. The SPEANER took the chair at four o'clock. CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY BILL. On the motion for considering the report on this bill, Mr. SPOONER said the bill had been read a second time, and was now brought up from the committee, and it was his intention to move that it be re-committed. He did not wish to raise the question as to whether the Crystal Palace should be opened on Sunday ; his objection to the bill being that it was introduced to confirm an Agreement entered into between the Crystal Palace Com pany and the Brighton Railway Company, although the house was in possession of no information as to the nature of that agreement. There was a clause in the bill which enabled the railway company to receive moneys, and hand them over to the Crystal Palace Company, and the effect of it would be to enable the latter company to evade the provision in their charter which prevented them re ceiving moneys or opening the building on Sundays, un less by sanction of Parliament. He thought such an important question as to opening the building on Sun days ought not to be decided by a side-wind, but by a substantive motion brought forward on the general principle. Mr. GEACH said the object of the bill was to divert certain roads, and delay in passing it would occasion great inconvenience to the company, as they were anxious to open the building in May, in order not to disappoint the public. He fully admitted that it was not desirable to discuss or settle the question about opening it on Sun days by an indirect motion ; and if the hon. member would withdraw his motion, he would undertake that the clause to which he objected should be struck out on the third reading. Mr. DEEDES observed that if the house passed the bill, it would sanction an agreement of which it knew nothing. Sir R. H. INGLIS recommended Mr. Spooner to adopt the suggestion of Mr. Geach. Mr. W. PATTEN said it was incorrect to suppose that the agreement between the two companies had not been before the committee. Fe had looked into it him self, and taken legal opinion upon it; and he believed there was nothing which would, either directly or indi rectly, enable the Crystal Palace to be opened on Sun (lays. He, however, entirely agreed with Mr. Spooner, that it was not desirable to sanction an agreement which was not in some way before the house, and he should, therefore, suggest that Mr. Spooner should withdraw his amendment, on the understanding that the clause in question should be struck out on the third reading. Mr. LAING disclaimed any attempt on the part of the Crystal Palace Company to smuggle a clause into the bill for the purpose of enabling them to open the build ing on Sundays. After a few words from Mr. WIGRAM, Mr. SPOONER withdrew his amendment, the report was agreed to, and the bill ordered to be read a third time. PRIVATE BILLS. The following bills were read a second time and ordered to be committed :—Carlisle Canal and Port Carlisle Rail way - East Anglian Railways ' • East Kent Railway ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway • South Shields Improvement ; West London Crystal Palace Railway. LONDON AND THAMES RAILWAY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Sir J. SHELLEY said that he was instructed that this bill would cause a great obstruction to the use of the river by the occupiers of the wharves on its banks, while it would not give to the public any advantages beyond that which they at present derived from the steam-boats. He would therefore move that it be read a second time that day six months. Mr. WILSON, on the part of the Government, ob jected to the immediate second reading of the bill, because, although the rights of the Crown were affected by it, no communication had been made by its promoters either to the Board of Works or to the Commissioners of Land Revenues. Lord D. STUART believed that the public would derive great advantage from the competion between the railways and the steam-boats which would be the result of this bill. Mr. HUME recommended that the second reading should be postponed until the promoters should have communicated with Government. Mr. MASTERMAN said that under these circum stances he would postpone the motion for the second reading of the bill until Monday, the 4th of April. The East Anglian, East Kent Railway, Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and Forth and Clyde Junction Railway bills were then read a second time. PETITIONS Mr. FREWEN presented a petition from Sussex against the admission of Jews into Parliament. Mr. HINDLEY presented a petition against opening the Crystal Palace on Sundays. Mr. DEEDES presented a similar petition. AM HON. MEMBER presented several petitions from Down, and other counties in Ireland, in favour of tenant right ; also, a petition from Down complaining of the corrupt practices at the last election for that county, and praying for the protection of the ballot. Mr. CRAWFORD presented a petition in favour of the abolition of University Tests in Scotland. Sir R. H. INGLIS presented several petitions from working men, and others, against opening the Crystal Palace on the Lord's day. Mr. GOULBURN presented a petition from the University of Cambridge against the admission of Jews into Parliament. Mr. EWART presented a . petition in favour of the liberation of Mr. Edward Murray. Mr. PHINN presented a similar petition from Ply mouth. _ _ Mr. MIALL presented a petition from working men at Sheerness, in favour of opening the Crystal Palace on Sundays. Sir J. PAKINGTON presentell a petition from Ryde 2 complaining of the corrupt practices at the last and pre ceding elections for the borough, and praying for fur ther investigation. Mr. HUME presented several petitions from places in Scotland, praying for the repeal of the Test Acts ; also a petition from merchants in Glasgow trading with the West Indies, complaining of the irregularities in the postal communication with the Colonies ; also a petition from the British and other Christian inhabitants of . Cal cutta and the lower provinces of Bengal, expressing their opinion respecting the future government of India, and praying for inquiry respecting the same. Mr. FRENCH presented a petition from the Guar dians of Carrick-on-Shannon Union, praying for an alteration in the Annuities Act. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from a place in Yorkshire in favour of the repeal of the taxes on know ledge. Mr. T. EGERTON presented several petitions against the admission of Jews into Parliament, and the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. Mr. BANKES presented a petition from a place in Dorset, praying for the enfranchisement of the London University. Mr. COWAN presented a petition from the Scottish Reformation Society, praying for the repeal of the May nooth grant. CORRUPT BOROUGHS. shouldM. PEACOCK gave notice that, on Thursday, he explain move that Mr. Coppock be called to the bar to Electiona statement which he made before the St. Albans Commission on the subject of corruption in .‘ pocket" boroughs. COUNTY FINANCIAL Sir J. pARIN BOARDS. GTON wished to ask the right hon. membergentleman,thel for Manchester, if he was dis posed to postpone iie after r ill on the subject of county financial boards until Mr. M. GIBSON coulclEastt er. accede to this request, as any member unconnected wit h h after Governm en t cou ld n ot hope to get such a bill o Easter. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Sir R. H. INGLIS said as iOl Reserves to (Canada) Bill and the Jew Bill stood it wa s committalatlas intended to be any to night, he should be glad to know if Easter? take the take both, and if it was, would there postpone the third reading of the latter night, and Lord J. RUSSELL said it was not intendedt committal of the Clergy Reserves Bill until Frid ay he should move the omission ,of the third c i an , e : When committal of the Jew Bill would be taken to the third reading on Friday. AUSTRIA AND TURKEY. Mr. DISRAELI wished to ask the noble lord the member for the city of London a ques tion relative to the relations that now subsist between Austria and the Sublime Porte. It was re ported in a well-informed journal that in a dispute which had arisen between Austria and Turkey, an ulti matum was offered to the latter by the former which had been acceded to by Turkey, although, in some degree, it appeared to threaten the independence of Turkey. Two of the conditions contained in the ultimatum were—first, the Turkish troops were to evacuate Montenegro ; and, secondly, Turkish ports were to be closed in the Adriatic, which had hitherto been open to English commerce. Now, he wished to ask the noble lord whether the Government had re- ceived any official intelligence of these circumstances, e um t sta te n d n ce i s, and, if th ey h ad, was it to the same effect as the journals, and, lastly, would the noble lord have onathnye objection to produce the papers which had passe p suiject. .ordJ.RISSSELL said the Government had received ,fficial intimation of the final arrangement of the dis between Austria and Turkey, andi two*of the con les in the ultimatum were in spirit the 541318 as those stated by the right hon. gentleman, but the British Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople had re ceived a notification that the latter would not be carried out, or, at least, no change would be made in the ports of the Adriatic open to Bri tish commerce until her Majesty's Government had been consulted in the matter. It would be unusual to produce the papers, as they related to a matter in which this coun try was not directly concerned, and with the settlement of which our ally was satisfied. IRISH ADVERTISEMENTS. . Mr. FRENCH wished to ask the Secretary of the Treasury, if directions had been sent to Ireland by any Government authority in this country, to discontinue the expense of inserting in the Dublin newspapers the usual notice of levees about to be held by the Lord- Lieutenant. Mr. WILSON said that the late Government had issued an order to discontinue certain advertisements in Dublin newspapers under these circumstances :—ln the course of last year a bill for advertisements came under the consideration of the Treasury. On the bill being examined it was found to refer to three classes of adver tisements—the first published by direction of acts of Parliament, the second advertisements relating to mat ters of public interest, and the third advertisements re lating to levees and balls. The bill amounted to 3301. 13s. Bd. Of this sum 71. 3s. 4d. were charged for advertisements of the first class 41. 10s. 10d. for those of the second class, and 3181. 19s. 6d. for those referring to levees and balls. The advertiseme its for one levee were in number 17, and chars-3d 35/. Vs. 2d., and for a ball which took place immediately after they were in number 61, charged 491. Under these circumstances, the late Government determined on abolishing the prac tice of advertising the Lord-Lieutenant's balls and levees. (Hear, hear.) NAVAL COMMITTEE. Capt. SCOBELL wished to ask Sir J. Graham, when it is probable that the report of the Naval Committee, ap pointed by the late Board of Admiralty, will be laid on the table of the house. Sir J. GRAHAM hoped to be able to lay the report on the table immediately after Easter. COPPER COINAGE. Mr. GLYN wished to ask the Secretary of the Trea sury whether any steps had been taken to secure a suffi cient supply of the copper coinage. Mr. WILSON said the demand for gold and silver was so great that the Mint could devote no attention at present to copper coinage, but the Master of the Mint was about to contract with private parties for the coin ing of five tons of copper. C TAASGOW POST-OFFICE. Mr. HASTIE wihed to ask Cie Scs.:;2etary of the Treasury, when it was intended to proceed with the erec tion of the ne w Post-office at Clasgow, for which ground was bought about three years ago, in conseq. - elce of the present building being pronourced unsuitable for the extent of business, and in a ruinous and unsafe condition for the inmates ? Mr. WILSON said negotiations were now going on for the purchase of additional ground, and when these were closed the Post-office would be proceeded with. COAL MINES. Mr. SANDARS wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Government to increase the number of in spectors in coal mines, or take any other steps for the prevention of accidents therein. Lord PALMERSTON said the whole subject of coal mines was one of great difficulty and importance, and he had not yet been able to arri% e at any decision upon it. WA RDENSHIP OF THE CINQUE PORTS. Mr. HUME wished to ask the noble lord, the mem ber for the City of London, if the Government would lay upon the table any papers relative to the office of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports? Lord J. RUSSELL had no objection to lay such papers on the table. On the motion of taking the orders of the day, Mr. NEWDEGATE complained of the way in which the noble lord the member for the city of London con ducted the public business. The noble lord was taking an unfair advantage of gentlemen on his side of the house. He complained of the noble lord wishing to force on the Jewish bill before the recess. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) To endeavour to force on this measure now was a tyrannical proceeding ; it was an attempt to stifle the general feeling of the country. A measure of such a description ought not to be brought in and read a third time the night before the Easter recess. Sir J. PAKINGTON considered that in g eneral the noble lord had st u di e d th e conven i ence o f the house, but in the present case he was obliged to coincide with the hon. member for North Warwickshire. He hoped that the noble lord would postpone the measure. Lord J. RUSSELL considered that the course he had adopted was the fairest one towards the house. With regard to the Jewish Disabilities Bill, the subject was nearly exhausted, and he did not see any reason for post poning it. Mr. CAYLEY hoped that the noble lord would post pone the third reading of the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill until after the recess. Mr. M. GIBSON would call the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the taxes upon the means of diffusing knowledge. UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS. Mr. M. GIBSON said, this being a revenue bill, he wished to call the attention of the house to the unsatis factory state of the law in reference to the tax imposed on a certain class of newspapers. (Hear, hear.) The Attorney-General of the late Government (Sir F. Thesi ger) stated, on the 6th of December last, that immediate legislation was necessary upon that subject, and +he right hon. gentleman obtained leave to introduce a bill with reference to it. Since that time, however, no fur ther proceedings had been taken on the matter. In November, 1851, a suit for penalties against the pub lishers of the household Narrative of Curren L'eents was instituted in the Court of Exchequer, which was decided in favour of Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, and against the Board of Inland Revenue. That board, however, declined to acquiesce in that decision, and the law offi cers of the Crown were instructed to appeal to the court of the Exchequer Chamber. Subsequently there was a change of Government, and the law officers of Lord Derby's Government advised the Crown that the decision of this Court of Exchequer was contrary to law, but that to prevent future litigation, a bill ought to be introduced on the subject. Lord. Derby's Government went out ; this was now 1853, and this simple matter was now hung up in suspense. (Hear, hear.) That state of things was not only inconvenient to the parties concerned, but was somewhat oppressive ; and he had now to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would promise to use all convenient and possible speed to bring this matter to a termination ? (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if any weight was due to the opinions of the legal autho rities with whom he had an opportunity of conversing on this question, it was not so simple as the right hon. gentleman seemed to suppose. The great difficulty was, to give relief to the parties who appeared to be entitled to it, and atl the .same time to exclude from such relief those whose publications clearly came within the mean ing of the existing statute. He believed that the opi nion of the law officers of the Crown would be in the possession of the Government in a day or two, and no time should be lost in coming to a decision on the ques tion after that opinion had been received. Mr. HUME would suggest, as the easiest mode of getting rid of the difficulties connected with the subject, that the tax should be repealed altogether. (Laughter.) If the Chancellor of the Exchequer would permit the publication in question to be printed without the tax, and only charge those with the duty which were trans mitted through the post, the right bon. gentleman in twelve months would receive an amount of postage equal to that which he remitted. Sir F. THESIGER said the case was not so free from difficulty as the right honourable gentleman (Mr. M. Gibson) seemed to suppose. When the last Govern ment came into power there had been a decision in the Court of Exchequer in favour of the exemption of the duty ; but the other law officers of the Crown and him self were rather disposed to think that Baron Parke, who dissented from the rest of the court, was in the right, and that the decision of the court should be ap pealed against. With the view, however, to prevent future litigation, the late Chancellor of the Exchequer was of opinion that without any detriment to the public interests he might introduce a bill, by which publications like the Household Narrative might be exempt from duty ; but the difficulty was that unless they were extremely careful in wording the bill they would exempt from duty a great number of publications which were clearly liable to be charged under the existing law. A bill, however, was prepared, and he (Sir F. Thesiger) asked leave to bring it in, but it was objected to by the right hon. gen tleman (Mr. M. Gibson) on the ground that, being a bill affecting the revenue to some extent, it could only be considered in a committee of the whole house. He (Sir F. Thesiger) did not therefore attempt to introuduce the bill. The more he' looked at this question the more he felt it was surrounded with difficulties. The honourable member for Montrose had certainly suggested a very ready way of solving those difficulties, but he (Sir F. Thesiger) should be much surprised if the Chancellor of the Exchequer acceded to such a proposition. Mr. COBDEN said it did really appear to him that the house was placed in a most humiliating position. They had three Governments bringing their ingenuity to ' bear on this subject, with the view to prevent the free diffusion of knowledge. (Hear, hear.) And under what circumstances ? At the very time when all parties were agreed to extend the rights of the people in the matter of the political franchise. The house was going to enlarge the franchise, and yet, at the same time, they were exercising all their ingenuity to prevent the people obtaining political knowledge. Such conduct appeared to him to be wholly indefensible. Now they could not f3:',°mara them of define what news was .

(Hear, hear.) news, but being practically done already, for they h a d som m e g„ w rt as publications in London, including such papers fort publications the A thenteum and the Builder, all publishing which were stamped or not, just at the option of their proprietors. Now, on considerations of revenue, he thought this was a subject which might fairly be left t o the disposal of Mr. Rowland Hill and the Post -office _ and if that were done—if newspayere were only subject to a tax on passing through the Post-office, he had no doubt that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would lose very little in the end, whilst he would get rid of a prac tice which was a stigma and a reproach to the age they lived in. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT begged to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention to repay Messrs. Bradbury and Evans their costs in the action in which the Government was defeated ? The event proved that the Government was wrong in the suit they instituted against those gentlemen, and that being so, he thought the Government should pay all the costs in the ordinary way. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in reply, the subject which the hon. gentleman had just opened was entirely new to him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), and that any application of that kind would have to be considered on its own merits. The whole subject was now under the consideration of the Govern ment, but it would require an alteration in the law to carry out the principle which the hon. gentleman had suggested. Mr. RICARDO said it was somewhat remarkable that three successive Governments had confessed themselves unable to deal satisfactorily with this question ; and, as the only way of getting rid of the difficulty attaching to it, the present Government was now about to obtain a judgment in the case from a police magistrate. (Hear, hear.) A constituent of his published a paper called the Potteries Free Press , and—overlooking th e R ac i ng Tele graph, P unc h, an d various other publications—the Go vernment was about to summon that unfortunate man before a police magistrate, with a yiew to mulct him in a penalty of some 201., or to imprison him. That was the case which was to brought to a hearing on Thursday next, and a Bow-street magistrate was to decide a ques tion which had puzzled the law officers of the Crown in three successive Administrations. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the honourable gentleman (Mr. Ricardo) was entirely mistaken in sup posing that the cause of his constituent and that of Messrs. Bradbury and Evans were at all similar. The question in the case of the Household Narrative was, whether it was published within an interval of not less than twenty-eight days ; but the Potteries Free Press was published every week, contained regular statements of public news, and was, therefore, a clear infraction of the law. Whether or not it was desirable to repeal the existing law was one question ; but so long as that law remained on the statute-book, he apprehended it was clearly the duty of the Government to enforce it. Mr. EWART though it was possible to establish a system of postage duties on newspapers passing through the post, by which, whilst the revenue would not be prejudiced, the numerous evasions of the existing law would be prevented. The conversation then dropped, and it was agreed that the bill should be read a third time this day at half-past four o'clock. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS (REPAY MENT OUT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FUND) BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a third time, Mr. W. WILLIAMS wished to obtain an assurance from the Commissioner of Works, that the Crown rents arising out of the public improvement in question would be sold without delay. Sir W. MOLESWORTH said so soon as the Govern ment could get the full value for those Crown rents, they would be ready to sell them. In reply to a question from Mr. HUME, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, as regarded the enactments of this bill, he should be the last man to propose to the house to put any charge on the Consolidated Fund to the detriment of the public. The pecuniary liabilities to which this bill related were already settled so far as the public were concerned ; and the whole question was, whether they should pay off the whole debts, on which they now paid interest, while they had a large balance at their bankers, or whether they should apply that balance in discharging those debts and interest, and put the surplus into the pockets of the public, (Hear, hear.) Mr. WALPOLE wished to know—supposing it ap peared to the lenders of the money that the London bridge Approaches Fund was insufficient to guarantee them the repayment of the money they had lent—whe ther his right hon. friend was perfectly certain that by putting this charge on the Consolidated Fund, and re leasing altogether the land revenues of the Crown, which ought never to have been charged—(hear)—the whole principal and interest were likely to be paid. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he felt the greatest possible certainty on the subject. The population of London might be decimated—for they did not know what calamities might not occur—but advert ing to the rate at which the coal fund now yielded, nothing to his mind was more plain than that the " Ap proaches Fund," and the other assets which were liable, would be amply sufficient to guarantee the whole of the debt and interest. The bill was then read a third time ; and, on the ques tion that it do pass, Sir W. JOLLIFFE moved the addition of a clause, providing that an annual account should be rendered by the Treasury of the sums paid into the Consolidated Fund, and of the disbursements therefrom under the authority of the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had no objection to the clause. He wished to say, in correction of a statement he made the other night, that the whole proceeds of the present act were pledged. First there came a charge of 88,0001. to the corporation of the city of London, for past improvements, and then another charge which would absorb the whole surplus for certain other improvements not yet defined. After a short conversation the clause was agreed to, and the bill was passed. JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL. The house having gone into committee on this bill, Mr. W. Patten in the chair, Admiral WALCOTT objected to the principle of the bill, on the ground that its obvious result would be to de prive the Legislature of its exclusively Christian character. He protested against the admission of a class of religionists into Parliament, who, unhappily for themselves, disbe lieved in the divinity of the Son of God. Mr. VANSITTART characterised the course which the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) proposed to take with regard to this bill as most unfair, inasmuch as it would effectually prevent a full expression of opinions on the third reading. He complained of the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill hav ing been postponed without notice, by which many mem bers were taken by surprise. He urged that the third reading of the present measure ought, in common justice, to be deferred till after Easter. 4 Lord J. RUSSELL said he had only postponed the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill for the purpose of making alterations in it. The course he had taken would, in his opinion, facilitate public business ; for if the third reading of the Jewish Disabilities Bill were postponed till after Easter, it might happen that there would not be enough to occupy the attention of the house the whole of Friday evening. The subloct had been so thoroughly discussed that he could not anticipate any new arguments upon it. Mr. WALPOLE had himself no objection to the bill passing through committee to-night, nor to the third read ing taking place on Friday ; but it would undoubtedly be more satisfactory to his friends around if it were postponed till after Easter. Lord J. RUSSELL said he could not consent to postpone the bill, but he would undertake not to bring it on at a late hour on Friday. He would not bring it on after ten o'clock. Mr. NE WDEGATE could not understand what the ro ble lord would gain by pressing the bill through its remain. ing stages so rapidly as he proposed. He would remind the house that if he succeeded, the measure would have gone through three stages within one week. This was not the ordinary course of business with bills of so much im portance. He supposed, from what he had heard, that he was not to hope the noble lord would consent to postpone the bill till after Easter ; but if he did not, he would be accepting the division on the second reading as evidence of a feeling which did not really exist. As for the argument of economy of time, there was nothing in it, for there was plenty of business which might be taken on Friday instead of this bill, by which no time whatever would be lost. Under such circumstances he trusted the noble lord would not be guilty of what appeared to him a manifest disre spect to the feelings of the country by pressing the bill. He assured the noble lord that the feeling in the country was growing on the subject the more it was debate - d the greater would it be shown. He could see nothing likely to create greater jealousy of the conduct of the Go vernment than an impression that they were attempting to thrust this bill through the house contrary to the ex pressed feelings of the country. Mr. MILES urged the noble lord to postpone the third reading till after Easter. Easter came this year very early; and it must be remembered that after the holidays Go. vernment proposed to take another day, so that they might select their own time for the third reading. Mr. HUME deprecated any further delay. Not a single individual could bring forward a single new argument on the subject, so that any, postponement would be only a waste of time. He thought the noble lord had exercised a wise discretion in endeavouring to get rid of the question. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. M. SMITH, as representing a large and impor tant constituency upon the verge of the metropolis, who entertained strong opinions upon this question, implored the noble lard to pause before he proceeded furtherf with the measure, until the feeling of the country had been as certained. . -,- - __.; _ i.,, ' \ -; s j , . / n ute of i - "s• r\ • Oa i. '' .'''''," - ' 4 '':': • • 1 ' ' 1 -.. /.1. 34 ) ,'; 1 11 S THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1853. The house, therefore, had already expressed its opinion twice on the subject, and after that he could not expect that its opinion would be changed. Besides, he had already undertaken not to bring it on at a late hour on Friday. This subject was a constant source of delay, and delay only would be the result if he assented to the suggestion, for, as he was now told that members had left town, he should be told the first week after Easter that they had not arrived. , After a few words from Mr. W. M. SMITH, Mr. J. A. SMITH said he must give to the statement of the hon. member for North Warwickshire (Mr. Newde gate), as to the signatures to the petitions in favour of this measure, the most positive and absolute denial which courtesy would enable him to give. If the hon. member really entertained the opinion he expressed, he (Mr. J. A. Smith) should have the greatest readiness in meeting him on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NEWDEGATE said that when he made the allega tion in 1847, the hon. gentleman was sitting by the side of the noble lord the member for London, and if the noble lord would not afford him the means of proving the charge it was rather hard to contradict him after five years had elapsed. Under such circumstance the gentleman must forgive him if he did not retract the asser tion. Colonel SIBTHORP hoped that, whatever might be the manoeuvring of the noble lord, his friends on the opposi tion side of the house would not forget what was due to the country on this question. The clauses were then agreed to, the report was received, and the bill ordered to be read the third time on Friday. The second reading of the Pilotage Bill was postponed till the 4th of April. LANDS IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read the third time. On the question that the bill do pass, Mr. FITZGERALD moved the introduction of a pro- Sision in clause 36 giving a power of appeal from the com missioners to the assistant barrister as a judge, in cases where the tenancy exceeded 501. per annum. Mr. NAPIER objected to the amendment, on the ground that it would be a departure from the act of 1847, which was the foundation of the present measure. Nothing could work better than the act of 1847, which had no power of appeal, and, as a proof that such a power was unneces sary, the commissioners under the act of 1847 had only been called upon in four cases to adjudicate between land lord and tenant. In all the other numberless cases the parties had mutually agreed between themselves on the amount of rent to be added for the improvement of the land, and he thought a useless power of appeal, which must lead to delay and litigation, would be prejudicial to the beneficial operation of the act. Sir J. YOUNG said he would as soon have the bill with out the amendment as with it, but he agreed to accept it as a compromise rather than be forced to insert a more dis agreeable clause. After a conversation, in whioh Mr. Stapleton, Sergeant Shee, Mr. R. S. Moore, Mr. F. French, Mr. Whiteside, and Mr. Kirk took part, the amendment was agreed to, the words were inserted, and the bill passed. OATHS IN CHANCERY BILL. The house ac we it into co u - r4tee on the Oaths in Chanceiy Bill, some verbal alterations, on the motion of the SOLICITOR -GENERAL, were made in the clauses, and the Chairman reported the bill to the house. ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS. Mr. H. BROI TN, before moving a resolution of which he had given notice, wis'red to know whether it was at all probable the select committee on the amalgamation of rail ways would make a report of practical use to the house ? Mr. CARDWELL had no objection to the words of the hon. gentleman's motion, which were —" That it is the duty of a good government to propose to this house all such measures as may appear necessary for the public safety. That the great increase in the number of accidents which have of late occurred on railways demands the espe cial attention of the house, and that it is the duty of her Majesty's Government to propose more effectual measures than now exist, fo - • Le 1 :rg the safety of the public while travelling on rai' .vays." The answer he would make to the question of the horourable gentleman was that the committee appointed by the late Government was now sitting to inquire most carefully into a suLject in which he could assure the hon, gentleman that both her Majesty's Government and the members of the committee, and he boliev: he might and every member of the house, felt the deepest possible interest. (Hear, hear.) Since he had h:311 a membe,. and presided over the committee, they had examined many of the me:. t, eminent persons con nect-I with the railway interest. They were about to examine other witnelse-, not connectA. with the railway interest, and they should consider with the utmost pains the question which the hon. gentleman wished to bring under the notice of the home. It would be presumptuous and premature to anticipate the result of the committee, which had hitherto been occupied in taking evidence, and had not yet come to any opinio n . (H ear , h ear .) Con sidering the magnitude and importance of the subject, the early period of the session, and that Tway witnesses had not yet been called, he was sure the honourable gentleman would approve of the committee, and having hither to come to the house with an expression of opinion, and under the circumstances the honor-able gentleman would be by no means wanting in duty to the public if he allowed the committee full time to mature their judgment before tak ing the sense of the hou.,e on his motion. (Hem-, hear.) With regard to what might be anticipated from the com mittee, all he had a right to st,, - Le was, that he never saw a committee which devotad more pains to the subject, in hand, and he should be extremely disappointed if the la bours should not re - ,alt in measures beneficial to the public interest. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BROWN, after the assurance of the President of Board of Trade would be quite content to await for a time the result of the committce, though he confessed he saw very little hope of that result being any practical principle which the house might adopt. He should therefore deter the consideration of his motion until after Easter. (Hear.) SCOTCH PROFESSORSHIPS. The LORD ADVOCATE gave notice that in committee of the whole house to-morrow he should move a resolution to introduce a bill to regulate the admission of professors to the lay chairs in the universities of Scotland. The bill which he proposed to introduce would abolish entirely the subscription of tests required by the statutes as tilt , now stood ; but this would only extend to the lay chairs, and not to the chairs of theological colle:;:—. Every profes , Dr, under its provisions, would be r-it*. ed. instead to sub scribe a declaration almost in terms the same as that in troduced in the Test and Corporation Act of 1822, namely, that he should not exercise the functions of his office to the subversion or prejudice of the Established Church. RETURNS. On the motion of Sir C4- : _PECITELL : the following re. turns were agreed to :—" Return of all the towns or bo roughs which have petitioned to be incomorated according to the provisions of the act 5 and 6 Will. IV:, c. 76; stating the date of such petition, whether such petition was opposed or not, the resrlt, and whether. in case of the chat per being granted, the district comprised in such charter was either larger or smaller than the nrecinct of the petitioning town or borough (in continuation of Par liamentary Paper, No. 610, session 1840) ; a nd co py o f th e report made bylN'"illi am Forsyth, Esq., to Her Majesty in Council, in or about the month of November last, on the subject of a petition of the inhabitant householders of the town of Brighton, praying for a municipal charter. On the motion of Mr. KIRK, a return was agreed to of the number of vessels, distinguishing British from foreign, wrecked or lost off the coast of Ireland during the five years ending the sth day of Januazy, 1853 ; stating the names of the places where such wrecks took place, the number of lives lost, and the amount of tonnage and value of the cargo of the ships lost. The house then adjourned at eight o'clock. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CITSTOIt-110ITSE-31Aucn 14.

MESSINA, March 3.--The Alexander, Troon to Rhodes, has put in, making water, and the vessel much strained. HOLYHEAD, March 13.—The Pelham Clinton, Liverpool to Aberystwith, put in here yesterday, half full of water, having struck on the Harry Furlong on the previous night; she sailed again this morning. REDCA3, March 13.—The Leonidas, from Sunderland to London, which ran on the rock on the 11th, has been assisted off, and taken into West Hartlepool ; part of her cargo had been thrown overboard. YOUGHAL, March 12.—The Telcida, from Marianople, which went ashore in Whiting Bay on the 9th, went to pieces yesterday ; cargo washed out, part of tho materials saved. Sir B. HALL represented a large constituency, who formed part of the metropolis. The place he represented numbered 400,000 inhabitants, who were assessed at more than 2,000,0001. sterling ; and, speaking to some extent their opinions, he must appeal to the noble lord not to think for one moment of postponing this measure. This was no new topic. It was the most unprofitable discus sion the house could have ; and surely when it had been so long debated on both sides, it was much better to ar rive at a conclusion at once, for he was sure that, what ever eloquence might be displayed, not one single vote would be turned by it. Mr. WHITESIDE said the request for a postponement was most reasonable, and it was a mistake to say that the principle involved was not new. The fact was the bill in troduced a novel principle into the whole system of the laws of England. It might be right politically to admit Jews into Parliament, but it was certainly opposed to the ancient laws of the country, of which Christianity was a pate. Under such circumstances, he contended that it was only reasonable that some delay should be accorded. Lord D. STUART contended that ample time had been devoted to the consideration of the subject, and said that the petitions in favour of admitting Jews to Parliament hadincreased in the proportion of six to one. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that in 1847 he had stated that many of the petitions were spurious—that the parties procuring the signatures were paid for them at the rate of 3s. per hundred, which remuneration was afterwards changed to ss. per day. He had offered to prove this be fore a committee of the house, if the noble lord (Lord D. Stuart) would move for one. The noble lord had never moved for that committee ; and he had no doubt that the signatures to the petitions were paid for now as they were in 1847. But as to the petitions on the other side, he could answer for it that the signatures were not only unpurchased but, unsolicited. Mr. NAPIER believed the noble lord would be pro- , THE MARCH or gPEED.—The announcement of the ceeding with undue precipitancy if, under existing CirCUM" division on the second rea di ng of the Jews Bill, which stances, he pressed the third reading on Friday.
