SHARE MARKETS.—(yrfIs DAY.) BRITISH RAILWAYS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull and inactive, but prices were much the same. Railway Shares were very dull. There is, of necessity, much interest attaching to the position of the Bank of England after the re cent advance in the minimum rate of discount, and what may be gleaned from the weekly balance sheet to the 4th June will serve to explain in part, though to our thinking it cannot justify, the policy of the Directors. In the first place, we notice a large diminution in the amount to the credit of Government instead of the augmentation customary at this period of the quarter. This is doubtless attributable to the paying off of the dissentient Exchequer Bill holders. In the second place the discounts and loans materially in creased, and in the third, the reserve of notes was trenched upon to some extent. Such, we presume, would be considered the justificatory circumstances for the Bank. Looking a little closer into the account, however, we perceive almost as large an increase in the private as there was decrease in the the public deposits, consequently the Bank was not shorn of its assets in that direction. Then, with respect to the other securities , the Bank' must be expected to do an increased business about the period when the transfer books close, and its means were strengthened by a very large addi tion to the sum of the precious metals. The circu lation was much increased, but with such means of payment, the Bank was under no urgent need to raise its terms for discounts. The time may soon come when such a step would be reasonable, but the Bank is in advance of that time. Compared with the previous week, the changes were as fol lows : RAILWAYS.

The Prussian Commercial League has made still further progress of late, and seems now to include a portion of Italy, besides Austria Proper. Ono singular circumstance is, the assertion that the Duchies of Parma and Modena bind themselves to concur in any commercial treaties that may be concluded by Austria. At the meeting of the African Steam-ship Com pany this day, a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share was agreed to. The receipts of the first five voyages were 19,3001. 6s. 5d., which, after the disburse ments, left a balance of 6,0711. 18s. 7d. The net profits on the first five voyages was 1,9291. 18s. 3d.

Consols for Opening 19th July 97i x d THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 185 IMPERIAL PARLIA RENT HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) CHARGE AGAINST THE IRISH GOVERNMENT. The Marquis of WESTMEATH, in moving for an address for a copy of the conviction of Messrs. Timothy Feely and Edward Roche, before the justices of Galway, for an aggravated assault upon F. G. Murphy, Esq., at that place, in the month of February last, as well as the decision and sentence of the justices on the case • also a copy of any memorial or petition forward e d t o the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for the remission or diminution of punishment awarded by the aforesaid justices against the before mentioned parties on the said alleged assault, and of any letter conveying the same ; also a copy of so much of the Crown Book as contains the record of con- viction and sentences passed at the last assizes at Limerick in the month of February in the present year upon John Flynn, Patrick Riley, Bridget Regan, Patrick Roche, John Ryan, Patrick Howrigan, Owen Malony, Patrick Daly, and John Ryan, for the several offences in which they were engaged at the last election at that place ; and also a copy of any memorial or petition ad dressed to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for any re mission or diminution of the sentences above referred to, or any of them, with the signatures appended thereto, as well as any letter by which the same may have been ac companied, said he had come over from Ireland to peiform a very disagreeable duty, inasmuch as it involved charges against the Lord Lieutenent of Ireland and the Irish government ; but it was a duty from which he could not shrink. The first came his motion referred to was with respect to two persons who had been found guilty of a violent assault upon a gentleman in Galway. It appeared there had been a social meeting somewhere about the commencement of February or the end of January last, at which the band of one of her Majesty's regiments of the line were in attendance, and after the business of the meeting was over, they played " God save the Queen." Two persons belonging to the Queen's col lege who were present hissed, whereupon a magistrate who was there, and observed their conduct, went over to them and remonstrated. On the following day these two persons, whose nemes were Feely and Roche, went to a place where they expected to meet with Mr. Murphy, the magistrate who had remonstrated with theni, and upon meeting with him they - assaulted him and beat him most severely with a horsewhip. Feely only, he believed, according to the evidence, actually used the horsewhip ; the other one looked on, but did not strike. A charge of assault was preferred before a magistrate, and upon the facts being proved, the two men were convicted and sentenced to' a month's impri sonment with hard labour. This conviction took place on the 3rd February, and on the 7th or Bth the Lord Lieutenant, who had gone to Ireland, he believed, only on the 27th of January, wrote down an order that the hard labour was to be remitted. Nobody could say that such a punishment was too severe for so gross an out rage, and the only reason he could conceive for this un timely lenity on the part of the Lord Lieutenant was that it was exercised for a political object, and that he hoped by such means to obtain popularity for himself and for his government amongst one class of the popu lation. The other case to which he would call atten- tion was one that occurred in Limerick. At the last assizes in February for that town nine persona were con victed of riot, and were sentenced by Judge Perrin, who had the reputation of being a very lenient and humane judge, to periods of imprisonment varying from nine to three months. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, very shortly after his arrival, had thought fit to express an opinion to the corporation of Dublin that he thought the office he held was a necessary appendage to the country, and he (Lord Westmeath) presumed it was in carrying out that opinion, and with a desire to make the office still more popular among the Roman Catholic party—(for all the persons so sentenced were Roman catholics, and the riot took place at an election wherethe priests had been very active)—that his lordship commuted the sentences of all these persons. Another reason why he thought the object of these proceedings an the part of the Lord Lieutenant was to gain popularity, was that he ob served Mr. Kirwan was reinstated in the office he forfeited by his conduct at an election about the same time. He Wished it not to go forth that he was making any attack upon the Roman Catholic religion. Many most intimate friends and some of his nearest relations were Roman Catholics, and his feelings towards that religion would ever be those which ought to be entertained by those whose ancestors had professed it. But respect for the Roman Catholic religion was a very different thing to submitting to conduct on the part of the Government in Ireland tending to encourage there a body of persons whose hands were against every man, and whose influ ence as priests was always exercised to prevent the re turn to Parliament of those who by their connection with the land and the property of the country were the best qualified to be its representatives. The upper classes of the Irish Roman Catholics he knew to be loyal to a man, and they were ever ready to prove their loyalty by any act or any sacrifice ; but he was not so sure that the no- minees of the Roman Catholic priests were loyal. They sometimes said themselves they were not. But what could they think of a Government that was playing into the hands of such persons—and what were they to think of that position of things which had placed the affairs of the empire in the hands of a majority dependent upon a party who made the welfare of this mighty empire se condary to other considerations which they had in view and who used their position to obstruct rather than to advance the public interests! The Government seemed to have proposed an alliance with the extreme Irish party. They had thought fit to nominate to the im portant office of Solicitor-General the hon. and learned member for Athlone, who, however great his talents, was considered not exactly the person who should have been appointed to that office. In reference to that hon. and learned gentleman, it became his duty to bring under the notice of their lordships a transaction which he trusted the noble earl at the head of the Govern ment would now hear of for the first time. At the last contested election for Westmeath, an honourable baronet, Sir It. Levinge, was a candidate, Mr. Keogh the Solicitor-General for Ireland (who, he believed, had not an atom of ground in the county) came to canvass for another gentleman, who was ultimately elected. At a meeting in the town of Moat, held in the open air, Mr. Keogh addressed the electors. The speech the hon. and learned member delivered on that occasion was heard by three magistrates of the county, one of whom thought it is duty to communicate the facts to me, and he had since had communication with the other two magistrates, and the fact would be deposed to if necessary on oath by the three. The speech of the hon. and learned gentleman was as follows :—"Boys,"—their lordships should be aware that in Ireland all were boys between the ages of 135 and 14, women as well as men— (a laugh)—all who had brawny arms to wield a stick, or to hit a mark with a stone—" Boys," said the hon. and learned gentleman, "the days are now long, and the nights are short—in autumn the days will be shorter, and the nights longer—but in winter the days will be very short, and the nights will be very long, and then let any one remember who voted for Sir R. Levinge." In the month of January the Government were enabled to obtain evidence and to bring to conviction a number of persons in this country and in Ireland for being en gaged in the ribbon conspiracy. Now, their lordships would find that the sentiments here enunciated by Mr. Keogh were exactly in accordance with some of those which had been expressed and with the pass words which were used by the parties belonging to that bloody con spiracy, as they were brought out in the course of the proceedings against them. The noble lord might say that these words were all " gibberish," but they were well understood by the initiated. The words used by the ribbon conspirators were— Summer is approaching, the short days are gono ; Friendship will flourish, then the days will be kept long Let freedom reign by land and sea, 1 And death to him who would betray. Now, their lordships would see there was a close resem blance between these words and those used by the hon. and learned gentleman, and no doubt those to whom they were addressed knew well their meaning. What he wanted to ask the noble earl opposite was, whether they were prepared, in the event of a vacancy recurring, to advance to the bench a man who did not scruple to promote an election by means like these ? That the words were understood in the sense he inferred there was proof, for a man s t an di ng bry said to the magist ra te, his informant, " You hear those words, sir; what do you think would be done to me when the winter nights come, if I were to vote for Sir R. Levinge ?" It was not for the purpose of attacking the member for Athlone that ho brought this subject forward, but to show the Government the sort of system they were giving encour agement to— a system which had shown itself at Six mile Bridge and at various other places during the elec tions. Mr. Keogh was entertained at a dinner after his election, at Athlone ; and what would the noble lord who introduced the ecclesiastical bills say when he heard that at that dinner, in the presence of the Irish Solici tor-General, the health of the Pope was given with nine times nine, and afterwards that of the Queen, with only the usual honours ? He contended that the Govern ment had no right to select a person holding sentiments such as these to fulfil a responsible position. (Hear.) In the list of toasts the name of the Pope stood first, then followed the Queen. The hon. and learned gentle man (Mr. Keogh) was present at the arrangement of these toasts, and took part in the dinner ; in fact, by his conduct upon the occasion he had shown himself unfitted for the high office which her Majesty's Government had conferred upon him. The noble marquis concluded by saying that he had come from Ireland at considerable inconvenience to himself, but he had felt it his duty to bring these matters before the house. The Earl of ABERDEEN said that he had no know ledge whatever of the circumstances connected with the election of Mr. Keogh, nor of the speech to which the noble marquis referred. The noble marquis had given no notice of his intention to bring that subject under their lordships' consideration ; if he had, he (the Earl of Aber deen) would have informed himself upon the subject. As it was he could only assure the noble marquis that he had no knowledge upon the subject to which so large a portion of his observations referred. In answering the motion of the noble marquis he (the Earl of Aberdeen) was happy to inform the house that Ireland was never so prosperous, never so free from outrage as at the present moment, and he could not help thinking that the noble marquis, being desirous of finding fault, had been compelled by the pre sent state of Ireland to catch hold of a matter so trifling and unimportant as that before the house. The noble marquis stated that certain persons, being condemned by the proper tribunals, had been arbitrarily relieved by the Lord-Lieutenant. The first case referred to was that of two student's of Queen's College, and he (Lord Aberdeen) wished to assure their lordships at the very outset, that of the persons concerned in these matters he was entirely ignorant, and that he had not the slightest conception as to whether they were Catholics or Protes tants. One of these two students, it appeared, refused take of his hat when "God save the Queen" was played, upon which a gentleman knocked it off. An assault was committed in consequence, and the two students LLOYDS' SHIPPING.-(TifIS DAY.) LONDON, June 11.—Wind at Noon, E. ; light breeze, and fine clear weather.

STRIKE OF CARPENTERS AT THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The strike of carpenters and joiners in the metropolis begins to wear a very serious aspect. Already between 400 and 500 workmen have decided in not re turning to their labour unless they obtain an advance of wages of sixpence a day-3s. per week. The strike at present is confined to workmen who have been employed by builders and contractors in extensive business, the small masters having, when applied to for an increase of wages, acceded to the request of the journeymen. Amongst others who are now out on strike is the body of workmen lately in the employ of Messrs. Brass and Son, of Wood-street, City, and Redcross-street, Cripple gate, and the whole of the men in the employ of Messrs. Lucas, who were engaged on the works at the College of Surgeons. Committees have been formed, and cir culars addressed to the trade, requesting- support in what they term a just cause. STRIKE OF FACTORY OPERATIVES AT STOCKPORT. — The advance of 10 per cent., demanded by the operatives, has been declined by the cotton manufacturers of Stock port. After taking the av erages o f 10 m il es roun d Manchester, the employers have replied to the following effect :—" We find that spinners by hand mule and self actors are receiving 5 per cent. below the average, and we will give them an advance to that extent ; we find, also, that the throstle spinners are receiving 8 per cent. less than the average, and we will give them an advance of 8 per cent. ; but we find that weavers are receiving rather more than the average of the district, and we de cline to make any alteration in their wages." The ope ratives, at all the mills except three, had given notice, and their week expiring on Thursday evening, yesterday morning found the mills all standing, and nearly 20,000 persons of all ages and both sexes on strike. The three mills not stopped are those of Marslands, Robinson, and Cephas Howard. The notices at these mills, however, expire next week, and the whole of the operatives will be out of employ. The spinners, it is believed, would be satisfied with the terms offered, but have turned out in aid of ebe weavers. The employers talk of keeping their mills. closed for a month under any circumstances. WAGES MOVEMENT AMONG THE WEAVERS.—During the last few days the weavers of Spitalfields, Bethnal green, Waterloo Town, and other places at the eastern part of tb e metropolis, have been holding meetings nightly at their various club houses, for the purpose of obtaining an advance of wages for their labour. The condition .of the poor for many years has been known to be very :serious, for the remuneration for their labour has been too low and insufficient to support them, that a great plumber with their families have been compelled to seek r 'chief at the workhouse, and several aged men have di. d from destitution. Deputations from the Trade TYnion have already waited upon the large em ployers, and in most instances the applications have been attendee 1, with success. Aberdeen ............. lAmbg Nottng.

Now, according to the statement which he (Lord Aberdeen) had received, the very magistrates who passed thissentence sent to the Lord Lieutenant, and recommended that he would remit that portion of the sentence which inflicted the bard labour, inasmuch as the condition of the students was such as to incapacitate them from undergoing this pun ishment. That portion, therefore, of the sentence was remitted ; and when the house considered the offence and the youth of the parties concerned in it, he did not think that their lordships would be inclined to find fault with the Lord-Lieutenant. (Hear, hear.) The next ca terms energ s rms e a sg w feo a dor s f i t nti h i, iia a lap t trri o iosp f tol l anw O crnhe o .ei r cni l it ; 0 he p vce e ayu rf ry o wei n nde s grae i tfi n . sentencedt h L me i m et e llve r ce i c tl kivoe, election w oto h ofv o amtr w hi eor e mie r i e e s. months. A petition numerously signed was presented to the Lord-Li eu t enant praying fo r a remission of the sentences. Th e Lord-Lieutenant did not act upon caprice, as the noble marquis had said, but he heard the case through the judge by whom the prisoners were tried, and it was only in accordance with the recommendation of the judge that the sen tences were remitted. He (the Earl of Aberdeen) be lieved that this was the usual course upon all occasions. Indeed, his noble friend the Lord Lieutenant had assured him that never, under oily circumstances whatever, had he remitted sentences except with the concurrence of the judge by whom they were inflicted. Unless, therefore, the house found fault with the Lord Lieutenant for lis tening to any petition, or indeed to the representations of anybody, touching the remission of sentences, he (the Earl of Aberdeen) did not know what other course could have been taken. With reference to the case of Mr. Kirwan, the noble earl did not think it was necessary for him, after what had already taken place, to say anything upon the subject. Coming back again to the motion of the noble marquis, he bad not the slightest objection to produce the papers referred to in the first branch of it. With regard to the second case, he must decline to produce the report of the learned judge upon which the remission was founded. Such a thing had never yet been done, because these reports were always considered confidential in their nature. It did not, how ever, appear that the report of the judge would some strictly within the motion. If it was understood that the report was excluded, the noble earl was quite willing to assent to the production of the papers asked for. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought that the noble lord opposite (the Marquis of Westmeath) had been greatly misinformed upon this matter, for he had made several mistakes in the statement which he had made to the house. Thus he had stated that the assault was upon a magistrate, but such was not the fact. The Marquis of WESTMEATH—Mr. Murphy is a magistrate. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that it was not so. Mr. Murphy was no doubt a most re spectable man ; he (Lord Clanricarde) believed him to be a young professional man of much ability ; but he was not a magistrate. The real facts of the case were these. When the student, to whom refe rence had been made, refused to take off his hat, he was turned out of the room, and in that proceeding Mr. Murphy made himself very conspicuous. Upon the following day this student, with another, met Mr. Murphy, and his conduct of the preceding day having been referred to, an assault on Mr. Murphy was com mitted. That gentleman very properly made his com plaint to the authorities, and the two students were sen tenced, not to 10 or 12 days, but to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. When he (the Mar quis of Clanricarde) added that one of these students, being rusticated, lost an entire of his academical course, he did not think that the house would consider the course pursued by the Lord Lieutenant was over lenient. With the election speeches of his hon. and learned friend, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, he, of course, had nothing to do ; he would, however, venture to say that the noble marquis opposite had made words spoken during the heat of an election vastly more important than they deserved. The Earl of DERBY said that, after the few words of the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Aberdeen) he was bound to say that, with regard to the two cases brought forward by the noble marquis (the Marquis of Westmeath) the statement of the noble lord was entirely conclusive. If the facts were that in the first case the remission took place in consequence of the representa tions of the magistrates trying it ; and, in the second case, the sentence was remitted in consequence of a reference to the learned judge who sentenced the pri soners, and such remission was made in accordance with the judge's recommendation ; then he thought his noble friend (the Marquis of Westmeath) had no sufficient ground to ask for the production of papers. If, then, he (the Earl of Derby) understood the noble earl at the head of her Majesty's Government to state that these remissions had taken place in the manner he had just mentioned, and that they had not been made upon the mere motion of the Lord Lieutenant himself—seeing the inconvenience which might arise from the production of the judge's report—he would advise the noble marquis not to press his motion. But, although he (the Earl of Derby) did not wish to dwell upon the question, he must say that it seemed to him that the noble earl and the noble marquis opposite (the Marquis of Clanricarde) had dealt too lightly with the other part of the speech of his noble friend (the Marquis of Westmeath) ; he meant that portion with regard to the language imputed to the hon. and learned gentleman who was now Solicitor- General for Ireland. It was true that there were pro perly constituted tribunals for the trial of contested elect tions, and that it was not within the duty of this house to consider such matters. But this question was not as to the political and moral effect upon the election of lan guage made use of by an hon. and talented gentleman ; but, as to the effect of his having been selected to fill the office of Solicitor-General by her Majesty's Government shortly after the delivery of that language, and while it was yet a matter of notoriety. The noble earl had said, and he (Lord Derby) was bound to believe him, that he knew nothing of this speech. Yet the speech was a matter of general publicity ; in fact he believed affidavits had been made as to the particular words uttered by the lion. and learned member. He tthe Earl of Derby therefore could not help wondering that the subject should not have been brought under the notice of the noble earl at the head of the Government at the time when the hon. and learned gentleman who made it was about to be appointed to the post which he then filled. He (the Earl of Derby) was bound to give implicit credit to the noble earl opposite when he said he knew nothing of the speech ; but he could not refrain from again ex pressing his surprise at—he did not say it offensively— the ignorance, the non-knowledge of the noble earl upon the subject. Mr. Keogh, when the election for the county of Westmeath was about to take place, acting on the part of the Liberals, and being himself a candidate for a seat, was reported to have said in public, "That the nights were then getting short, and the days were long ; the time was coming when the nights would be long and the days short, and then they would know how to act with those who might venture to vote for Sir R. Levinge for the county of Westmeath." If he (the Earl of Derby) were not mistaken, Mr. Keogh had recommended persons to go into the town of Athlone armed with shillelaghs, and to use them, if need be. This might, perhaps, be an in correct representation, but that some such speeches were uttered there was no doubt. It was a most unfortunate matter, that after such speeches as these Mr. Keogh should be appointed to a high post connected with the administration of justice. It had the effect of making people doubt the sincerity of Government, and had led to the belief that a system of partiality existed, and that these appointments were made without a due regard to public tranquillity. The Duke of NEWCASTLE complained of the man ner in which the noble marquis (the Marquis of West meath) had brought forward an accusation, without no tice, against an hon. member of the other house of Par liament. He recollected when be was a member of that house it was the custom to talk of statements which were more than doubtful as " Irish facts," and the facts of the noble marquis fell within that category. The manner in which this accusation was brought forward certainly made it appear as though the noble marquis had brought forward his motion solely with the view of throwing dirt upon the hon. and learned Solicitor- General, and he must bear witness to the admirable manner in which the noble earl (the Earl of Derby) had improved the occasion. The noble earl had expressed surprise that the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment was not aware of the speeches delivered by Mr. Keogh. He (the Dnke of Newcastle) recollected not very long since, when the election speeches made by Sir F. Kelly were referred to in that house, the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Derby) had stated that he was quite unacquainted with what his own Solicitor-General had said, and that he had no time to read the newspapers. (Hear.) But he (the Duke of Newcastle) was in a posi tion to inform the house that these speeches were really never uttered by Mr. Keogh. He had the authority of Mr. Keogh's word for it, who stated that he had never made use of any such language, and that what he did say had been grossly perverted. He (the Duke of New castle) had next to charge the noble marquis opposite with having made his accusation in a very unfair man ner, for he (the Duke of Newcastle) had been informed that Mr. Keogh had, through a private friend, denied the truth of the language imputed to him. Neverthe less, the noble marquis had not hesitated to come down to the house and make the accusation, without having the candour to say one word as to the denial of the hon. and learned gentleman. The Earl of EGLINTON was quite at a loss to see the parallel between the case of Sir F. Kelly and that of Mr. Keogh. Sir F. Kelly was the actual Solicitor- General of the then Government, and addressed the constituency of the place for which he sought to be re turned upon a question then in abeyance, which was to be settled by the decision of the country at that very election. Mr. Keogh, on the contrary, was a private individual at the time he made the speech imputed to him, and although that speech, whether delivered or not, was a matter of notoriety, it appeared that li e was appointed to a high and responsible situation without the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Aberdeen) having the slightest idea that such sentiments had ever been uttered. Of course he was bound to believe the noble duke with regard to what the Solicitor-General for Ire land had stated, and also that Mr. Keogh meant wha t he had said. But what did the denial amount to ? The noble duke said that Mr. Keogh contradicted what had been stated by the noble marquis. He (the Earl of Eglinton) would not say that he believed the exact prepree words as put by the nobl e marquis, because he might have transposed the words, and thu nr s aden tcdihag were i ms nwgi magistrates swear t but tr oa t. he es ( ofli e (Hear, must ther, hea townr. attach) He h had a some c ntoe additional theirwhat a p t d h a s mean- r o e t e n for that belief in the fa c t th a t h e had in his own io sion an affidavit sworn b e f ore a mag i strate b a - oses. y whom he believed to b e a respectable man, and wh o was present on the occasion, ascribing .Keogh words almost id en ti ca l with those to Mr. to him by the noble m arqu i s.

The Earl of EGLINTON was understood to say that he could not be committed. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he would tell the • noble earl what he referred to privately. The Earl of EGLINTON—I rise to order. I will not be committed before your lordship by any hint or mutt; endo. (Cheers.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE said, as noble lords op- . i p l o o b s i l t e e e c a h r e l e h r cd av , he w i ng de would d statethwhatthat appointment he referred to. of he Mr. Keordi. was " one of the least reputable acts of the pre sent Government," he begged to state that he had learnt, on the best possible authority, that a communication was made by a noble lord who held office under the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Derby) before the completion' of the arrangements of his Government, purporting to come from the noble earl himself, to inquire whether Mr. Keogh would take office under him. (Hear.) That was Lis answer to the noble earl (Eglinton). The noble earl had made two opposite declarations on this subject. He said lie should believe that the statement niade against Mr. Keogh was true until it was disproved ; and subsequently he said he shoUld believe Mr. Keogh until his denial was disproved. How could the noble earl re concile those declarations ? The hen, and learned gentleman (Mr. .Keogli) had not merely authorised him to contradict the statement of the noble marquis, but to deny that on the occasion in question he uttered words which bore the signification of those attributed to him. He distinctly and positively denied that there was a shadow of truth in the allegation made against him. The Earl of DERBY—My lords, I feel it t o b e m y duty, after what has fallen fro m the noble d u k e to say that I have heard the rumour t o w hi c h t h e noble duke alluded. I heard it for the first time after the appoint ment of Mr. Keogh had called f or th a great dealof ob servation in Ireland, and had been loudly condemned. I heard then that it was put about by friends of Mr. Keogh, that such an offer was made ; and I lost uo time in authorising every person who may hear it to state, on my authority, that I did not know, nor had I e ver authorised, nor did I believe then—l do not believe now —that any such offer, proposition, suggestion, or hint was at any time made to Mr. Keogh. (Opposition cheers.) . The Earl of EGLINTON—For my own part I dis tinctly deny having been a party to such a thing ; and I did not know that anything of the kind had ever been asserted. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he would tell the noble earl who it was that had made the statement. The Marquis of WESTMEATH replied. With re gard to the objection that he should have brought the subject forward earlier, he wished to observe that he had been on the continent. It was undoubtedly true that Mr. Keogh had sent to him a denial ; but, as respect able parties were ready to attest the accuracy of the words on oath, a mere denial was not sufficient. After a few words from the Earl of CLANCAIITY and the Earl of EGLINTON, The motion was withdrawn. HACKNEY CARRIAGES BILL. In passing through committee, this bill received two amendments—one providing that omnibuses should he provided with lamps after sunset, and another designed to abolish advertising vans. BURIAL GROUNDS BILL. This bill was read a third time. DUKE OF MELFORD RESTITUTION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned at eight o'clock. :OUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY. ) The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Cork and Bandon Railway, East Kent Railway, Gorbals Gravitation Water (No. 2), St. Helen's Canal and Railway, Warrington and Altrincham Railway (Stockport). The reports upon the following bills were considered and agreed to, and the bills were ordered to be read a third time :—Halifax Waterworks and Improvement, Shipley and Bramley Road, Spalding Improvement, West Harptry Road, and Whitechapel Improvement. The Battersea Park Bill was read a second time. NEWSPAPER STAMPS. Mr. GIBS& wished to ask the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he could really let the public know wllat his intentions were with respect to the advertisement duty and the stamp upon supple ments. Resolutions had been placed on the paper which were still in the hands of hon. members, but it was generally understood that they had been withdrawn, and the public were naturally anxious to have the new plan before them, that it might be well considered previous to its being submitted to Parliament. Leave had been obtained to bring in a bill to define what a newspaper was, in order to pit an end to the vexatious litigation which had existed on the subject, not less than six months ago ; and repeated ai: s u rances had since been given that the bill would be laid before the house. He did not ask not ask the Government to carry that bill a stage at present, knowing the importan business before the house ; but he asked them, inasmuch As he knew it was ready, to lay it on the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that with regard to the question of the right honour. able member respecting the resolutions on the adver tisement duty and the supplement duty, he hardly knew whether the right honourable gentleman was cor rect in stating that it was generally understood they had been withdrawn, but this he could say, that he at least had given no authority whatever- for such a rumour. He had, indeed, intimated from the very first, that they were open to reconsideration, and that the Government would take ample time to inform them selves respecting them from all quarters, and to inquire what were the views of those best informed on the sub ject. He quite concurred with the right hon. member, that the time was come, for the convenience of all parties, ethen he ought to acquaint the house with the intentions of Government on the subject, and he might say also that he proposed, even if the right hon. gen tleman had not put this question, to lay the definitive resolutions in an amended form on the table next Mon day. With respect to the bill for the definition of what was a newspaper, he must observe that, though the right hon. member might be quite correct in stating that six months had elapsed since leave had been given to introduce it, he must do the Government the justice to remember that it was not their measure, but that it. had been prepared by the law officers of the late Government. The delay alluded to had arisen from the fact that the bill in question had considerable re lation to the duty on advertisements, and that in the present state of public business it was entirely out of the power of the Government to assign anytime for the discussion upon such a bill. He was afraid that some days—perhaps one or two weeks — might still elapse before the state of public business would allow the Government to lay the bill upon the table of the house, but he would take care that due notice shrrald be given with respect to it, and he did not think a longer time would elapse before he was enabled to put the right hon. gentleman and the house in possession of the measure. (Hear.) Mr. BRIGHT said, it had been understood that the bill proposed by the late Governmit was one which the present Ministry would be likely t:;.% introduce. If they did intend to introduce it it would be great conve nience to a large class of persons to lay that blil upon the table of the house, so that something definite might be known as to what was proposed. (Hear.) - The motion for the adjournment of the house was then agreed to. CUSTOM, &c., ACTS. The resolutions on these acts were then brought up and agreed to. SUCCESSION TAX BILL. On the motion for the second reading of the bill, Sir J. PAKINGTON said it had been his intention to move that this bill be read a second time this day six months ; but in the absence of the schedules it would not be convenient to take the discussion on the prin ciple of the bill now. He should, therefore, reserve his opposition until the motion for going into committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Then they could take the discussion on Monday. (Hear, bear.) The schedules were printed ; but, to comply with the general wish, he would circulate them at once as an amendment to the bill. Before going farther, however, he would dis charge a pledge he had given, and state at once, not at a?! with a view to discussion, the intentions of the Govern ment with respect to taxing corporate property. The Government had been, it was known, of opinion that in. proposing this extended succession duty on private pro• perty it would not be just to leave exemptions on corporate property, which enjoyed the privileges of protection under the law. The question arose, in what way could a tax be, levied? Corporations never died, and if it had been pro posed to establish an equivalent system whereby corpora tions should be taxed every 25 or 30 years, there would have been the difficulty of determining when these cycles should begin. The proposal, therefore, was to effect a, commutation whereby corporations should pay in a certain proportion annually. Then they had to consider in what way the amount was to be framed. Should they go on the assumption that the transmission of their property e w xt h r o e l m e, es t ; he a y ndthe thought pr they saopol was analogous to the transmission of p roper t y i n the direct line or as analagous to the tr a n sm i ss i on f rom one set of ofOnthes the e s sh tra oui ng d ei n 's ot to ta a k n e t o e t i her he r they should make was that on corporation property, speaking generally, there s h ou ld ultimately be levied an annual tax of 6c . in the pound on the net equivalent to the succession duty, but that for a period of seven years from the pres en t ti me, inasmuch as A w ould not be fair to make the tax accrue at the first for the period of Iseven years from moment, the sth of last April the tax would only be at the rate of 3d. in the pound, but after the sth April, 1860, the tax would be at the rate of 6d. in the pound. Then, with regard to the question of the various descriptions of corporations and how far the tax ought to apply to them universally, how far any of them ought to be exempt, or how far other bodies ought to be considered as corporations for the purposes of the succession tax, it was quite obvious that with regard to municipal corporations they would act safely in adopting a rule correspondent with that which had been adopted in the acts imposing the income tax, namely, a rule which regarded as liable to the tax the realised property of corporations, but which ex empted from tax such of the revenues of corporations as were derived from rates and taxes laid on the community. As respected trading corporations, they did not, he thought fall in purview of the plan, and for this plain reason, that although they were corporations for the purpose cf . carry ing business, _yet yet the whole property invested in them ing on was divided into shares, and was therefore represented the investment of individual property, and the investment just took h the when )3 14 great mon e y art th e ready ;e...: ;,..;* th' [2lb strobe'' .•''' 46 ..** l a •••• 3 •-' 1 iO, 0 1 0(1 701 . e s. 33 0 ,t'g '25 ing ws, ~d• Op ,v(1 ;ea ibo "-`-_
