and Sunderland Town Moor and Freemen's Orphan Asylum. _ PETITIONS. Sir J. WALMSLEY presented a petition from a Baptist congregation against the Government Educa tion Bill. Sir R. H. INGLIS presented a petition from the Trustees and Governors of St. Bartholomew's Hospital against the Charitable Trusts Bill. Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY presented a petition to the same effect. Mr. V. SMITH presented a petition from the Nor- thampton Savings Bank, suggesting alterations in the Savings Banks Bill. WOODS AND FORESTS. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury when the Commissioners of the Trea sury w ill place on the table of the house copies of the annual accounts to the 30th day of November, 1852, of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and of Works and Public Buildings, according to the provisions of the act 14th and 15th Victoria, c. 42, s. 39, which direct that such accounts, duly audited, should be presented on or before the 31st day of March, 1853 ? Mr. WILSON said what the hon. baronet stated was quite true, but by some accident the accounts were not presented to the Audit-office until late in March, but they were in an advanced state of preparation, and they would be laid on the table before the end of the session. PIT ACCIDENT. Mr. HUTCHINS drew the attention of the house to the circumstances connected with the recent accident in Butterworth's coal-mine, Oldham, which was attributable to defective ventilation, and inasmuch as a similar acci dent from the same cause occurred two or three years ago, he wished to know whether the Government was prepared to send a commissioner to inquire into the matter. Mr. FITZROY said the proceedings of the coroner's inquest were only received at the Home-office this morn ing, but no doubt his noble friend at the head of the Home Department would take all the steps which the case might require. THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM. Sir J. V. SHELLEY drewattention to the dreadful state of the Camp at Chobham, and read an extract from the Morning Post to show the pass to which matters had come through the rain. He wished to know whether, under such circumstances, it was not the duty of the military authorities to remove the troops from this swamp? Lord J. RUSSELL said he could give no other answer than that he believed the subject would receive every attention at the bands of the Commander-in-Chief and the Secretary-at-War. CHATHAM DOCKYARD. In reply to a question, Sir J. GRAHAM said that the statement which had appeared in a morning print relative to the appoint ment of a Pipe Inspector to Chatham Dockyard was substantially correct, but political considerations were not allowed to influence the decision which had been come to. SAVINGS BANKS DEPOSITS. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to ask the Chan cellor of the Exchequer if any moneys of the savings banks of the United Kingdom have been employed in the purchase of Exchequer Bills since the `2oth day of November, 1852 ; and if so, to what amount and by what authority ; and whether he has any objection to palace the account of such moneys and date of the pur chases on the table of the house? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that moneys received from the trustees of the savings banks had been invested in Exchequer Bills upon the authority of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and there would be no objection to produce the account. It was right, however, that he should state that portions of the account had already been laid before Parliament. ARTERIAL DRAINAGE. Mr. P. URQUHART wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of the Go vernment to include in the Consolidated Annuity Debt, which is about to be remitted to Ireland, any portion of the advances made for purposes of arterial drainage, in cases in which such advances were, in consequence of the famine, notoriously misapplied. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in the negative. THE RECENT AFFAIR IN SMYRNA. Sir J. W..4.LYISLEY wished to ask the noble lord the member for the city of London, whether he could communicate to the house any information with respect to the violation of the Turkish territory by the captain of an Austrian ship of war, who is reported to have seized a Hungarian refugee resident at Smyrna, and to have carried him on board the Austrian vessel without the concurrence of the Turkish authorities ; and also whether it was true, as reported, that the Austrian Go vernment had demanded the expulsion of all the Hun garian refugees from Turkey? Lord J. RUSSELL reminded the house of the pro ceedings which Turkey took some two years ago in reference to Hungarian refugees. Austria demanded that the refugees should be delivered up to her custody, but Turkey declined to accede to the request, and sent them to America. Amongst these was the individual in question, Kossta ; but instead of remaining in America, lie returned to Smyrna ; and the Austrian captain, in stead of applying to Turkey for his expulsion, carried him off on board his vessel, and the subject was now a matter of negociation between the three powers of Turkey, Austria, and America. With regard to the second question, no such intelligence as that stated by the honourable member had been received by to Government. A WINTER SESSION. Mr. DRUMMOND gave notice of his intention on a future (ray to ask the Government whether arrange ments could not be made for holding a pe r manent winter session. PETERBOROUGH ELECTION. Mr. BRIGHT moved for a select committee to in quire into the allegations contained in the petitions of certain electors and inhabitants of the city of Peter borough, which were presented upon the Ist day of July, complaining of the interference of Earl Fitzwilliam, a peer of the realm, at the election in December last, and at previous elections of members to serve in Parliament for the said city. The hon. member stated that for more than a century the borough had been under the influence of the Fitzwilliam family, and out of the 500 elec tors, no less than 220 were tenants of Lord Fitzwilliam. He proceeded to dwell upon the practice of giving head money, then, after reading a letter addressed to a lady by Lord Fitzwilliam's steward, refusing to receive her as tenant, on the ground that the vote might so be lost to Lord Fitzwilliam. Ho gave instances in which per sons had been served with notices to quit for refusing to vote, or voti ng contrary to t h e w i s h es o f L or d Fi tz - William. He asserted that the late petition was not bond fide, but got up and carried on at the expense of Lord Fitzwilliam, and concluded by moving that a select committee be appoi n t e d f or th e purpose of making in quiries. Mr. FITZWILLIAM, in rising to second Mr. Bright's motion, explained the statements made by Mr. Bright respecting the serving notices to quit upon Lord Fitzwilliam's tens:its. he denied the allegations in the petition, that no ci.ne in the borough could give an inde pendent vote without exposing himself to losses and in convenience of every description, and appealed in refu tation to the fact that not only had there been several contested elections within the last few years, but there was actually a member for Peterborough sitting in the house whose political opinions were at variance with that of Lord Fitzwilliam. After a few words from Mr. HUME and Mr. R. PALMER, Mr. DIVETT did not think it would be advisable to nominate this committee until the Peterborough elec tion petition had been disposed of. Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not object to the present motion, but he thought it would be inconvenient that there should be two committees sitting at the same time on almost the same same subject, while at this period of the session it was hardly possible that the inquiry could close before the prorogation. Mr. HUME said the inquiry was of an entirely differ ent character to that of the election petitions, which did not impute corruption, but want of qualification, to Mr. Whalley. Mr. E. DENISON complained of the late period at which the petition was presented, which, he said, was contrary to all Parliament ar y precedents. Mr. contrary said the petition was intrusted to him somt months ago, but motives of delicacy prevented his presentmg it. He entreated the house to appoint the committee and remove Peterborough from its present state of suspense. Mr. V. SMITH did not think it would be advisable to appoint this committee while the election petition was pending. The motion was then agreed to. SUCCESSION DUTY BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. LIDDELL said that not having been present during the discussion hitherto on this bill, he could not allow this stage to proceed without expressing his decided opinion that the measure was altogether inconsistent with sound policy and justice. A more unjust or more exacting mea sure never had been propounded to Parliament. The coun try had heard of ship-money, of poundage, and of but lerage ; but all these measures of an oppressive and in quisitorial character had been repealed by the wisdom of successive Parliaments, and it had remained for the in genuity of the right hon. gentleman, when it should be the duty of persons in his position to remove every odious impost, to impose this extortionate tax upon the people of England. He made no motion upon the question, but he felt that ho should not have done his duty to his constitu ents if ho had not, even at the last stage, expressed his 0 1 1 .1) . 11ition t o th e measure . sefona.SPOONER moved the addition of a proviso to t he the fat e l ause, the effect of which would be, that where tenant far father as Ilvas a tenant for lif e , and the son was either a or a ten an t i n f eo or in tail in remainder or reversion of the la to ho a lineal descendant, property, the son should be deemed ', and should pay duty accordingly.

After a few words in support of the proviso from Si r J. PAKINGTON, The house divided. The numbers were— For the proviso Against it Majority against it . —3B Mr. FRESTIFIELD then successively moved two amend ments on the fourth clause, with reference to the general 1 powers of appointment over property, the object of which was to make the exercise of such powers confer successions only in cases where the appointments so made insured to the benefit in whole or in part of the parties making them; but after an explanation by the Solicitor-General that the clause as it stood was in strict conformity with the prin ciple of the Legacy Duty Act, and that the Government were not disposed to alter it, both amendments were ne gatived without a division. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved the omission of the pro viso to the 21st clause. This clause enacted tint the inte rest of a successor in real property should be considered as an annuity, the duty chargeable thereon to be paid by eight equal half-yearly instalments; and then followed the proviso, the omission of which was moved by the right hon. baronet—" Provided that if the successor shall die before all such instalments shall have become due, then any instalments not due at his decease shall cease to be payable, except in the case of a successor who shall have been competent to dispose of a continuing interest in such property, in which case the instalments unpaid at his death shall be a continuing charge on such interest, in ex oneration of his other property, and shall be payable by thelowner for the time being of such interest." The oh jest of his amendment was to prevent the accumulated tax which the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed to levy in the case specified, because, in his opinion, this accumulated tax would be unjust and oppressive, and would fall chiefly on the humbler and poorer class of landed proprietors. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not agree to the amendment. Great indulgence was shown to the successor by allowing him nearly five years for the payment of his tax. It appeared absurd to represent the tax, as proposed to be levied by this clause as unjust or oppressive. If a man had a continuing interest in pro perty which he died in possession of, the tax due upon it would be a debt to the state, which ought to be paid in the same way as any other debt. Mr. CROSSLEY was of opinion that the landlords had been let off very easily by the bill, and he should not be surprised to see some of them sending the Chancellor of the Exchequer conscious money, as was done by p ersons w h o had been oblivious respecting the payment of the income tax. Mr. MALINS remarked that the Opposition were fight ing tho battle of small landed proprietors, and expressed his conviction that when the bill should come into ope ra it . tion would acquire the character of being one of the most hateful measures over enacted. 211 r. HADFIELD opposed and Mr. VANCE supported the amendment, After a few words from Mr. E. DENISON and Mr. MUD, LINOS, The amendment was negatived. Mr. MALINSrose to move the omission of clause 23, pro viding for the mode of levying the tax on timber. The public was much indebted to landed proprietors for planting their estates with timber, whether ornamental or profitable. It was proposed by this clause, that if any gentleman should cut down timber to the amount of 101. he would have to pay 25., and so on in proportion. For the sake of this pal try and insignificant tax the exciseman was to be main tained, and watchers sent to inspect the felling of timber on every gentleman's estate. For this insignificant sum of a few shilliags the Chancellor of the Exchequer would open a ledger account with every estate in the kingdom. (Hear.) If he would only leave every proprietor to make his own return in his own way, he would receive a much more cer tain return, and would, moreover, make more revenue out of it ; for, by the present mode, the Chancellor of tho Ex chequer would be a decided loser. How was he to be com pensated for the cost of collecting theie items of 2s. or 21., as the case might be, upon felled timber ? He trusted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose pertinacity in ad hering to every clause of this bill he greatly regretted, would at the last moment make some concession, an with draw this clause, as altogether unworthy of being retained. He then moved that the 23d clause be omitted. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said, if the hon, and lalrned gen tleman would walk into the poor man's cottage, and see the old oak chest and the old arm chair, and other furni ture which had come down to him, perhaps, from his grand mother, he would find that if they were of more value than 201., ho would have to pay for them 24 per cent. as probate duty, and 14 per cent. as legacy duty, while under the pre sent bill not more than a per cent, would be paid by the landed interest. Lord J. MANNERS expressed his astonishment that the landed interest had treated this budget so leniently, and quoted a passage from Adam Smith, to the effect that the monied interest in Parliament always looked more sharply to what effected themselves than the country interest did. Ho objected to this clause because it treated timber or product of the soil in a manner in which no other product of the soil was treated, and subjected it to an unfair, odious, and inquisitorial i system of taxa tion. He also objected to it because t was antagonistic to tho principle of taxation which had hitherto prevailed in this country. There were peculiar circumstances con nected with timber which might induce the Government to exempt it from taxation altogether. In estimating the value of property hedge-row timber was naturally included, and if that timber were removed for the improvement of agriculture were they to tax it ? Ought they not to allow for the detriment which its growing had occasioned to cul tivation? The same observations applied to isolated field timber. Another objection to the tax was, that it was a tax—an excise duty—on raw material. Mr. M`Culloch laid down in his work that it was against all principle to lay taxes on commodities to be subsequently manufactured, and that timber was the most important of all raw mate rials. At this very moment, though there was nominally a duty on all foreign timber imported, the exceptions were numerous. No duty was paid on timber for shipbuilding. Was it just that all this foreign timber should be impoltecl duty free, while corresponding articles of English growth were heavily taxed? (Hear, hear.) If this clause were carried, the spectacle presented would be a most extraordi nary one—the same Parliament which declared the impor tation of foreign timber at the lowest cost to be an object of national importance, would be enacting that all English timber should be taxed to an amount varying according to the degree of relationship between the present and the for mer owner. In order to be consistent, those whorepealed the corn and the meat duties should have proposed some time ago that corn and meat grown in England should be subject to an excise duty. (Hear, hear.) By retaining this clause tho right hon. gentleman would confirm the suspicion that landlords had formed with regard to the sin cerity of free traders, and would deepen the feeling that, at the hands of the present Government at least, the landed interest had no reason to expect justice or fair consideration. Mr. H. DRUMMOND was surprised that the noble lord did not perceive the fallacy of his own argument. (Cheers from the Ministerial benches.) The proposed tax was not a tax on timber, but a tax on succession, and w ou ld b e p a id by the owner of staves to which the noble lord referred no less than by the landowners. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord said he could not understand how anybody connected with the landed interest could support their bill. He (Mr. Drummond) held that the principle involved in that re mark was a fallacious one. When legislation was founded on class interest, it could not be of the right kind. (Hear, hear.) Ho disliked this succession tax as much as any one ; but the question was why, when personalty was subjected to a succession duty realty should be exempted. (Hear, hear.) The expenses connected with the levying of the tax, would no doubt produce a great d ea l o f i rr it a ti on, but it was the small and not the powerful landed proprie tors who would suffer most. The attorneys would reap such a large harvest from this tax, that they would have no occasion in future for the efforts of the noble lord the member for Middlesex (Lord R. Grosvenor) since her Ma jesty's Government had, in the succession duty, made them a present which far outweighed anything they could gain from the remission of the duty on certificates. Hear.) The house then divided— For the amendment Against it ll7 Majority —4O Mr. CAYLEY said as a general rule timber land was not more valuable than arable or pasture land, while single trees and hedgerows did more harm than good. He would, therefore move as an amendment that it should be at the option of the successor to have timber estimated for the purposes of the act at the same rate as arable, pasture, or other land of similar quality immediately adjoining. The CHANCELLOR of tho EXCHEQUER was sorry that he could not consent to the insertion of the proposed words, first, because it would not be applicable to park timber, and secondly because it would create the greatest possible difficulty in the assessment of value. All ground of objection was removed by the fact of the successor hav ing the option of either paying on the annual receipts or commuting. The amendment was negatived without a division. Sir J. PAKINGTON then moved an amendment, the object of which was to prevent the bill from being retro spective. He could not allow this bill to be passed without again recording his strong objection to what appeared to him the excessive injustice of adding to the burdens of pro perty, which was already over-taxed. Whatever difference of opinion there might be on other points, there could be none with regard to the injustice of ex post facto legisla tion—(hear, hear)—and although they (the Opposition) had not been able to obtain majorities in that house, it was satisfactory to know that they had succeeded in opening the eyes of the country to the oppressive nature of the im post which the Government now sought to impose on it. It now remained for the other house and the country to say what view they took of this measure • and he believed that so inquisitorial and oppressive would the new tax be found, that the country, at least, would insist on some other species of taxation being substituted for, it. (Hear.) Mr. MALINS said the attention of the right hon. gen tleman had been repeatedly drawn to this clause (the 34th), the effect of which was, that a son who had joined a father in getting encumbrances on his inheritance, and then succeeded, would have to pay the tax as if he succeeded to a clear inheritance. He had within his knowledge a case in which more than a million was borrowed in that man ner, long before the Succession Bill was thought of— (hear, hear)—and would it be just to make the heir pay on the million borrowed ? He appealed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had not thought it necessary to answer the arguments previously addressed to him, whether ho thought it just that a son should be made to pa duty on ort which he never succeeded? They CHANCELLOR y of to the EXCHEQUER said the reason i why ho had no t spo k en on th e po i nt re f erre d to b y theon. and l earne d gentlemen of late was, that not in one debateeverything only, ,b i u t t Winastritbeeion the limits or four debates, of hisates,he capacityhadsaid to conceive or to inflict on the house.

Threetuiu prin ciple required by justice was that the succession whichha been anticipated should not be placed in a better position than that which had been waited for until the legal and proper time of enjoyment. Mr. MULLINGS supported the amendment. Mr. NEWDEGATE protested against the bill as m e . diwval legislation, and as an effort to restore feudal tenure. If the right hon. gentleman merely wanted increased re -venue from real property, why not acid a sixpence M the pound to Schedule A ? Mr. DISRAELI did not think that the Chancellor of the Exchequer's anticipations as to the amount to be derived from this source would be realised.

He thought the right hon. gentleman had better re-consider the clause, with a view to making it pro spective only. _ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL had always objected to legislating with a view to particular cases ; but, as this particular case had been mentioned, he might say that where a father and son wished to preserve estates from pride of ancestry, instead of selling to clear off debts, that was not a case for peculiar consideration. Again, a man might borrow 50,0001. on his succession, and turn it to pro fit, and was that to escape because it had been antici pated ? Mr. WALPOLE would venture to say that unless Go vernment gave way on this clause they wild not only suffer in public opinion, but would be defeated in another place, where the clause would be judicially considered. He had no objection to the prospective operation of the clause, but thought that its retrospective action should be pre vented. __ _ _ _ The house divided — For the amendment Against it Majority •••••• ......... —4l On the question that the bill do pass, Mr. MALINS proposed amendments, leaving out clause 23, and exempting " titles to land" from the operation of clause 49. He considered the power taken unnecessary, and likely to prove oppressive and offensive even to the small freeholders. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had already shown that the production of deeds was absolutely necessary. _ _ _ Sir O:BURRELL supported the amendment. The house divided—.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, J OLY 19, 1 853. INDIA BILL. The house then went into committee on the India Bill. Clauses 15 to 22 were agreed to. On clause 22, which refers to the appointment of legis lative councillors to be added to the Council of India for making laws and regulations, and empowers the Court of Directors, if they should think it expedient, to add, under the control of the Government, two persons, having been ten years in the civil service, to the Legislative Council. Sir H. MADDOCK said ho objected to the number of councillors to be appointed, on account of the expense. From his experience of the Council of India, he was of opinion that there was not enough of business to occupy any number of gentlemen during the whole course of the year. But if they were going to insist on the appointment of so numerous a council, then he was of opinion and should propose that three persons so appointed should be European or native Indian subjects of her Majesty and in the service of her Majesty or of the company. Complaints had been made in petitions to Parliament by the natives of India that their laws and religious usages had been infringed upon notwithstanding they were guaranteed by acts of Parliament. Now, he believed that if well-informed native gentlemen were appointed on the council they would be able to argue their own case, and would be able to prevent the recurrence of such acts as they complained of. He also proposed to vest in the Governor-General the power of dispensing with the services of any of the members of the said Legislative Council, and from time to time to dissolve the said council whenever there should be, in his opinion, no necessity for the assembly of all or any portion of the said legislative councillors. Mr. HUME said that before that motion was put he had an amendment to propose—namely, that of the coun cillors to be appointed ono of them to be a Hindoo and the other a Mahomedan. Some persons thought that the natives had not conducted themselves so well in other situations that they should be appointed to the Legislative Council. He differed very much from those persons, be cause when he was in India he was as well and faithfully served by natives as ever he was in England. He believed that if a Hindoo and Mahomedan were appointed it would tend to give confidence to the natives of the country, and would prevent those mistakes with respect to their customs and usages which led to so much mischief. Sir H. MADDOCK said he should be glad to adopt the amendment of the hon. member for Montrose or his own, as the President of the Board of Control should consider best. But, with reference to what fell from the hon. member (Mr. Hume) with regard to the evidence before the Indian committee, he wished to say that though there was a difference of opinion as to admitting natives into the councils generally, yet he was not aware that any of the evidence given went further than this ; that they would be useless. He believed that two or three native gentlemen associated with seven or eight English gentlemen would have much weight in a council. The main reason for which ho asked a consideration of this matter was, that if it was desired to inspire the people of India with a belief that we were interested in their welfare and were anxious that they should have an opportunity of declaring their feelings and advocating their interests, it would be only an act of wisdom and justice to place two native gentlemen in the Legislative Council. He would not place them in the Executive Council, for be believed that the executive and the officers of the army should be English, and that the civil service should also be English, and a close service, and that no natives should be admitted into it. Sir R. INGLIS said there would bo a difficulty in select ing natives for these offices. From what class were you to take the Hindo, and from what sect the Mahommedan ? He believed that as machknowledge of Indian affairs, literature and law was to be obtained in the council from English gen tlemen who were members of it. Sir C. WOOD said there were two questions now for ' consideration—the proposition of the hon. member for Rochester, with regard to the number of the Legislative Council ; and that of his hon. friend the member for Mon trose, who, in addition to the twelve members propoLei by the bill, wished an addition of two natives. He agreed with the hou. member for Rochester, that the government of India must be despotic, and that was the principle the bill intended to carry out. As regarded the natives, he hoped that by increased education and intercourse with Europeans, they would soon acquire their share in the go- _ vern went of India. The evidence before the committee, and especially that of Mr. Halliday, went to show that the character of the native judges had greatly improved, and the tenor of the whole of the evidence was, that the ap pointment of natives to offices was increasing all over India ; but that the time had not come when they should be admitted into the Legislative Council. So far as con ciliating the good opinion of the natives, he did not think that anything would be gained by putting two natives into the council. If the iatives were not fitted for admission into the civil service, as the hon. member for Rochester said, were they fit for admission into the Legislative Coun cil? The evidence before the committee wont to this, that by means of increased education the natives were becoming more fit for employment in important offices in the service of the company, and in this he (Sir C. Wood) concurred ; but it decided that whatever else they were fit for, they were not fit for the Legislative Council. With regard to the number of the council all the evidence agreed in this, —that there should be a council of twelve, including gen tlemen from all the presidencies, which was an important and necessary addition. He did not think it would be wise to increase the number of the Executive Council, but it would be very advisable to have the information in the Legislative Council which gentlemen from all the presi dencies could afford. A question had been raised whether it was advisable to revise the law commission in India. He thought the best course to proceed was as the bill pro posed. He did not think it advisable either to decrease or add to the numbers of the Legislative Council. Lord STANLEY was as desirous as any one to see native talent admitted to the highest offices in India, but he saw great difficulty in doing it in the way proposed by Mr. Hume. He feared that the seats in the Legislative Council proposed to be opened to natives would not be given as the reward of merit but as a matter of favour by the Govern ment. (Hear, hear.) It was not desirable to place the natives in these high offices without they had the oppor tunity of qualifying themselves by filling lower positions. He had therefore no alternative but to vote for the clause as it stood. Lord JOCELYN thought it desirable that the highest offices should be open to the natives, but could not concur in the propriety of giving those appointments to tho Go vernor-Geperal. Though concurring in its principle, he could not support the amendment. He hoped the time was not far distant when they should be able to give their Indian fellow•subjects a share in the government of that country. _ _ Mr. BLACKETT said he should support the amend ment. The employment of natives in the Government had been recommended by Lord Elphinstone and by Lord El lenborough, than whom no one was a more determined advocate of English supremacy. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that to introduce a Hindoo or a Mussulman into the Legislative Council, would be most distasteful to India generally. Mr. MANGLES said there was no single native to be found in India who could be considered a representative of the Indians generally. There was not the smallest nation. ality or community among them. There were hundreds of Europeans in the service of the company who knew no more about India than did the natives themselves. Had natives been in the council at the time, they would have opposed the abolition of suttees by Lord Wm. Bentinck. (Hear.) They would also have opposed that humane mea sure of Lord Wellesley, by which the destruction of chil dren was prevented. He would give the natives large prizes in the judicial and other departments; but they would not be fit, for many years, for legislative employ. ment ; and it would- be a positive unkindness to them to place them in such offices. Mr. H. D. SEYMOUR thought that a heavy charge had been brought against the company, in regard to their neg lect of the employment of the natives ; and that that charge had not been answered. The right hon. baronet (Sir J. Graham) had had the candour to confess in his speech on this bill, that the object of the Government was to get plenty of places in India for the middle classes of this country ; but he (Mr. Seymour) thought that the middle class would have sufficient morality and virtue to repudiate this bait to continue British despotism in India. Such a system as was pursued by the rulers of India, in withholding all offices from Indians had never been pursued by the worst tyrants and conquerors in the whole history of the country. He denied that the evidence taken by the committee justified the arguments used and the plan proposed by tho right hon. gentleman (Sir C. Wood). The evidence went the other way. (The hon. gentleman quoted instances.) It was a maxim in history that the conquering nation which did not amalgamate with the conquered could not endure ; and the future of England in India was indeed hazardous, if the system she was to pursue was that vicious and fallacious system sketched that evening by the right hon. gentleman in opposing this amendment. Tho hon. gentleman then proceeded to make general observations on the bill, and was finally stopped by angry cries of " divide." Sir H.

Mr. Hum?, moved that the Chairman report progress. Ike had been in the house since 12 o'clock. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Thursday. THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, 1 -129 Sir W. MOLESWORTH said he promised the hon. member for Honiton to make a statement with regard to this bill. In 1845, the Royal Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements, in their second and fifth reports recommended that a new park should be formed in Battersea-fields, and, that, in connection with it a bridge should be built across the Thames at Chelsea, and that a new street communicating with Lower Sloane-street should be made on the embankment from Vauxhall-bridge to Battersea-bridge, and along that embankment a road was to be made about two miles long. IR consequence of this report, in 1846 two acts were passed, one to make a park in Battersea-fields, and the other to empower the Commissioners of Works to make a bridge to Chelsea, and to make an embankment from Vauxhall to Battersea. For the making of the bridge and the now street, the commissioners were em powered to borrow 120,0001. from the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, which was to be paid partly by means of a general rate and partly by contributions from persons whose property would thus be improved. Those contribu tions were not to be commenced till agreements, approved of by the Treasury, had been entered into by the parties whose property was to be improved. The time for making those agreements would expire on the Ist of August next, and one object of the bill was to extend the time till July next year. The bridge at Chelsea was in process of con struction, but the embankment had not been commenced, except a portion of it, which had been commenced by an agreement with Mr. Cnbitt. The estimate for the bridge was 70,0001., and for the embankment and new rtreet 146,0001., making 216,0001. altogether. It was expected that 62,0001. would be received partly from persons whose property would be improved, and partly from the resale of property along the embankment and the new street. The next expenditure therefore would be 154,0001., in return for which it was expected there would be a net income from tolls on the bridge and from the piers, amounting to about 6,6001. a year, making a return of about four per cent. on the outlay. The park of Battersea would be com paratively of little use to the inhabitants on the north bank of the Thames, unless them was a bridge at Chelsea ; and the bridge would be of little use to it unless approaches were made to it from the east and west, from. Vauxhall bridge and Battersea; and the embankment and roadway would be of the greatest benefit to the public. Mr. LOCKE said the observations he made the other night were not to oppose this bill, but were of a more ex tensive character, and intended to apply generally to schemes which were brought forward without an estimate of the expense. The estimate in this case was 266,0001., but he wished to know if the funds were forthcoming, or if the parties having property were to have this bill hang ing over their heads four years longer, after being threat ened with another bill seven years. Sir DE L. EVANS thought the observations of the hon. gentleman were entitled to consideration. So far as this bill went, it was unobjectionable, except as to the tolls which he should propose to strike out. si r H. WILLOUGHBY observed that without tolls they would not be able to get any revenue. Sir J. V. SHELLEY believed the inhabitants of the metropolis generally would submit to an improvement rate if the representative system were introduced, so as to have a control over the expenditure. The house then went into committee on the bill, and it passed through committee without amendment. Mr. HENLEY objected to the loving of a toll on the bridge, which he said would be depriving the poor of the benefit of the park. (Cheers.) HIG BATES ILL. This bill was read H a WAY second time and ordered to be com mitted on Thursday. TURNPIKE TRUSTS ARRANGEMENT BILL. This bill was read a second tirne and ordered to be com mitted on Thursday. TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was read a second time and ordered to be com mitted on Thursday. METROPOLITAN SEWERS ACTS CONTINUANCE BILL. ----- On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, Sir J. V. SHELLEY said he understood it was only to continue the committee for another year, otherwise he should have objected to the bill. Lord PALMERSTON said next year he intended to bring in a bill for the permanent continuance of the com mission, with an infusion of the representative principle. After a few words from Mr. FREWEN, The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted. The Sheep, &c., Contagious Diseases Prevention Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. ASSISTANT-JUDGE (MIDDLESEX SESSIONS) BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. ALCOCK moved as an amendment that the bill be read a third time that day six months, as the people of Sur rey thought the judge was already paid most handsomely, considering the honourable position which the office gave him. (Hear, hear.) Sir DE.L.EVANS was never more surprised in his life than when he heard of the introduction of this bill ; for it would be in the recollection of the house that it was only a short time ago that he brought the conduct of this judge under the notice of Parliament with reference to the case of Mary Hill, and then not all the adroitness, and all the talent, and all the pleasantry of the noble lord at the head of the Home Department could get rid of the bad impres sion which the conduct of the learned gentleman created in the minds of hon. members. (Hear.) And yet - within three months after that occurrence the house was asked to increase the learned gentleman's salary, thus as it were passing a vote of confidence in the judge, and stultifying its own previous decision. (Hear.) The eccentricities and peculiarities which characterised the administration of justice in the learned judge's court were too well known to need recapitulation ; but nevertheless there were one or two instances of scenes in the court which he must be per mitted briefly to refer to. He held in his hand a report of the proceedings in the Middlesex Court, wherein it was stated that a person was brought before this gentleman to be re-examined, and ho told the accused that ho was con vinced he was a thief, although there was no evidence ad duced against him, nor had any trial taken place. (Hear, hear.) Immediately another prisoner was brought before him, a woman who was not blessed with handsome fea tures, and the learned judge becoming jocular upon the vil lemons character of her countenance, a juryman was in duced to ask whether the woman was to be tried according to her physiognomy or according to the evidence. (A laugh.) Scenes of this unseemly nature were constantly taking place in the court over which this gentleman presided, and they did not always partake of the ludicrous—since in two cases where an acquittal had taken place the judge went the length of pronouncing the parties to he guilty in spite of the verdict of the jury to the contrary. (Hear.) Now, he would ask the house to add these cases to the medium instance of the poor woman who had three years' transpor tation clapped on to her sentence for simply using an offen sive expression, and then to say whether they could with common decency pass this hill ? There was, however, another case to which he must call attention, in the hope that the noble lord at the head of the Home Department would be enabled to give some satisfactory account of it to the house. It might be entirely unfounded, for aught that ho knew to the contrary, but at the same time it was to be found in the published reports of the trials of this gentle man's court, and he should treat it as a fact unless it was contradicted by the noble lord. It occurred on the 22d of June, 1852, and was the case o f a man named James, who was harged with having stolen a purse containing IL ls. 6d. For this, on being found guilty, he was sentenced to ten years' transportation. Lord PALMERSTON was sorry to interrupt the hon. mem ber, but he found that an understanding had been come to with an lion. baronet opposite, that this bill should not be discussed until Thursd a y. It: would perhaps be convenient, therefore, if the debate was adjourned until then. (Cries of " No, no," and "Go on." Sir De L. EVANS said he could not consent to this delay without concluding the only other statement of im portance that he had to make with reference to this bill. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, this man was said to have been sentenced to 10 years' transportation. Certainly a very severe punishment, considering the insignificant nature of the offence, and upon hearing the sentence the man, who was of a rather violent temper, somewhat after the man ner of Mary Hill, let fly a penny ink-bottle at the judge— (it laugh) —who thereupon, without any trial whatever, or or without going through any l ega l p rocee di ngs , sen t ence d him to five years additional transportation. (Hear, hear.) He would say no more at present upon this to him painful topic, but before this bill passed, he begged the noble lord to inform the house whether what he had stated was a fact or not. (Hear, hey.) Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the house divided, when there appeared.— For the third reading Against it Majority . The bill was consequently thrown out. BURIAL GROUNDS. 42 -11 Lord PALMERSTON moved for leave to bring in a bill to authorise the closing of burial grounds in towns. In reply to a question from Mr. A PELLATT, Lord PALMERSTON said the object of the bill was simply to extend to districts beyond the metropolis the provisions contained in the act of last year, giving power to the Secretary of State to close churchyards, leaving it to the parishes to make provision for burial. , . Leave was then given, and the bill was brought in and read a first time. FACTORY BILL. Lord PALMERSTON obtained leave to bring in a bill to limit the hours of employment of children in factories. Leave having been given, the bill was brought in and read a first time. The house adjourned at 20 minutes to 2. PAIRS ON SUCCESSION TAX BILL. FOR. ' AGAINST. Mr. Wm. Brown. Mr. G. Sturt. Mr. Brand.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.-July 18. - CLITHEROE. This committee which sat for the first time on Satur day, and is appointed to inquire into the petition ag ainst the retur n o f M r. Aspinall, for Clitheroe, re-assembled again this morning. The chief allegation of the petitioners is, that Mr. Aspinall rendered himself ineligible to stand as a candi date at the last election, in consequence of being mixed up in the corrupt practices at the election in July, 1852, when he was an unsuccessful candidate. The examina tion of one witness had only just commenced on Saturday, when a point arose as to - whether the petitioners were entitled to enter into evidence to prove Mr. Aspinall's connection with t hose practices, and after counsel on both sides addressed themselves to the point, the committee reserved their decision until this morning, when, after further deliberation with closed doors, they announced that e admitted, they evidencea d unanimously ff underbribery 18. o 5 h 2, unle ss it tibe er termscomey to a resolution, to the effect b that and corrupt treating could n of the petition, as regards the election of was proved to have been committed by Mr. Aspinall himself, or by an agent, with his consent or knowledge. John Welsby, a canvasser for Mr. Aspinall at the election in 1852, was then called, and he deposed that he received sums of money from Messrs. Hall and Bald win, to take round with him and spend with the voters. Mr. Slade objected to this evidence of treating, unless it was proved to have been committed by Mr. Aspinall, or his agents, with his knowledge or consent. Some evidence was then adduced as to treating at the Swan, in 1852, while Mr. Aspinall was himself in the i house, and at four the committee adjourned until eleven to-morrow. THE HARVEST. —The letters received from various parts of the country all more or less speak of the damage done to the growing crops by the heavy rains. Much grain has been laid, and a large portion is described as being in some places under water. These advices have produced much uneasiness with regard to the approach• ing haryofit. COUNTRY MARKETS.

The father dared the station -master to interfere. One of the county ma' gistrates coming up as the time was also appealed to. He, however, was unable to interfere, and the yousg ladies were carried off. We believe that the magistrate telegraphed to London for advice, and received an an' ewer from Sir Richard Mayne that no law at present in force could sanction interference, unless the persons Were paupers.
