He would not say that the person who had named the transaction was a friend of the hon. baronet, or any of the directors ' • but he, at all events, knew the gentleman who refused to have anythi ng to do with the transaction. (Oh, oh.) And still, notwithstanding all that had been said by the hon. baronet and others, he be lieved that such trafficking did take place, and he held the fact to be indisputable. (Oh, oh.) Indeed, he knew of no office open to such temptation as that of an East India director. He was not one of those who approved of all the patronage which devolved upon the Court of Directors; on the contrary, he would deprive them of it, and give them salaries befitting their position. That was all he had to say on the matter. (Oh, oh.) It was all very well to cry " oh ;" but hon. gentlemen ought to remember that he was concerned with a district of this country which had suffered enormously from the misgovernment of India, and nothing, therefore, would ever deter him from de nouncing what he believed to be a corrupt and vicious system. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN here reminded the committee that the discussion going on had nothing whatever to do with the clause before it, which had reference entirely to the payment of general officers. On the question that clause 31, as amended, stand part of the bill, Mr. ELLIOT wished to know from the hon. member for Manchester whether he would have hon. gentlemen consider him as a party to the fraud referred to by refusing to give up the names of the parties implicated? Mr. BRIGHT —What I stated I stated upon the autho rity of a member of this house—(name, name)—and I will not name him. (Oh, oh.) Mr. MANGLES would put it to the house whether it was fair for any hon. gentleman to bring forward charges which he was unwilling to substantiate? (Hear, hear.) Cries of " Name, name," were then reiterated, but Mr. Bright sat unmoved. The clause, as amended, was then agreed to. On dance 32 being proposed, Mr. M. MILNES moved to leave out the words, " the provisions hereinafter-mentioned respecting the admission of students into the college of the said company at Hailey bury (that is to say), sections 103, 101, 105, 106, and 107 of the said Act of the 3d and 4th years of King William the Fourth, shall be repealed." The questipn having been put, Sir C WOOD said that the amendment applied only to Haileyburn, although the observations of the hon. member had had more reference to Addiscombe. If, however, the hon. member chose to raise the question as regarded Hai leybury, he should not object to his doing so. It was not necessary for him to detain the committee on this point, as the speech of the right hon. gentleman the member for Edinburgh left nothing to be said with regard to it. All experience went to show that the persons who had distin guished themselves in early life were the persons who were afterwards found filling high and important situations in after years. He could not understand why they should not take all the means in their power for securing the best men for the service of India, and the hon. member had not shown that the throwing open of Haileybury was not the best mode. Mr. HUME said that the question was an important one. All were agreed that the present system had produced the best civil servants for India, and yet it was proposed all at once to destroy it. He suggested that one-half of the can didates should be admitted on nomination and one-half on competition. The most ample testimony had been borne to the efficiency of the East India Company's officers, and he saw no reason why the educational establishments should be broken up. Mr. M. MILNES said that what the committee required to know was, whether the natives of India were to be in cluded in the competition. Lord STANLEY observed that this question would come under consideration in the next and following clauses. This clause simply a ffi rme d th e principle of competiti on vote sagai it. ns Theretnomina wtione,rae objectionsnd, su to h such being the t case, eclause on should for score of detail, to which he should hereafter draw attention. Sir C. WOOD would be willing to take the division on the amendment of the hon. member for Pontefract, and then report progress. Mr. V. SMITH, whilst indisposed to affirm the whole sale system of competition supported by the right hon. member for Edinburgh, nevertheless recommended the hon. member for Pontefract to withdraw his motion. He wished to know whether, if the committee passed this clause, they could re-open the question with regard to Addiscombe, a question whi c h h e cons i dered to be the most impor tant part of the bill? Sir C. WOOD said he wished to keep Haileybury dis tinct from the other appointments. As the question was an important one he should be happy now to report progress. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved that the chairman re port progress. He thought the hon, member for Ponte fract had quite misunderstood the intentions of the Govern ment with regard to the military appointments, and it would be better to restate them at another sitting of the committee. Mr. OTWAY asked what restrictions it was intended to impose on admissions to Addiscombe ? In case of the Ben. galees it would be necessary to impose efficient restrictions; for although they were an emasculate and effeminate race, they could, by a process of cramming in India, come over and render themselves eligible to pass the examination. Lord J. RUSSELL said it would be better that the Government should state their intentions on this and other points on the following day.. The committee was then adjourned until six o'clock to morrow (this day), and the house resumed. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL this bill was read a second time, on the understanding any debate on it was to take place in committee, which he fixed for Friday in next week.

He took the opportunity of saying that ho should act upon the intention which Go vernment had formed, of deferring to what they believed to be the wish of the real majority of the house in refer ence to the advertisement duty. (Cheers.) It was not necessary for him to enter into the reasons which had led them to that conclusion, believing that the man who made an unnecessary speech at that period of the evening was an enemy to his country. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. BRIGHT wished to ask when the advcrtisemen duty would cease ? It was important this should be known and he had been applied to by several newspaper proprie tors on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was certainly of great importance that proprietors of newspapers should be relieved from uncertainty on this point as soon as possible, and he was afraid that some had unfortunately been misled by arguing hastily that the practice which the house pursued with respect to customs duties would apply to the duty in question, which was, in fact, entirely of a different character. He believed there was no precedent for making the remission of this duty follow immediately on the vote of that house. They should not lightly alter the established practice, but he saw no reason why the bill in which those resolutions were to be inserted should not become law by the end of next week, or, at least, by the beginning of the following week. Mr. NEWDEGATE asked if the resolutions now before the house included the tax upon supplements. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said no. The extension of the area of newspapers was provided for by a clause in the Stamp Duty (No. 2) Bill, which was postponed till after the other orders of the day. What he proposed in reference to that bill was to commit it, to in. sert in it the resolutions now brought up, and to re-com. mit the bill to-morrow (this day). The report was then agreed to. CUSTOMS, &c., ACTS. In committee on these acts, The CHANCELLOR o f the EXCHEQUER moved the resolutions of which he had given notice, respecting the post-horse and hackney-carriage duties. With regard to the first, his proposal was to consolidate all the various duties now charged upon the keepers of post-horses and post-car riages, so as in future to render them liable to pay only one duty. The effect of this arrangement would be to make a reduction upon the aggregate amount of the duties to the extent of about 60,0001. a-year. He believed that this proposal would give satisfaction to the parties inte rested. With respect to the hackney-carriage duties, he proposed that there should be an annual license for keeping, using, or hiring hackney carriages in the metropolis of 1/. The present system was not to levy an annual license, but to levy one license, for which 51. was paid. He might state, in addition, that the bill which he would require to bring forward would contain a provision to the effect that those who had already paid Si. for their license should not be liable to begin to pay for an annual license until three years after the Ist of January next. When he first laid his financial measures before the house, he proposed that the weekly duty upon hackney carriages should be reduced from 10s. to 7s. He had since ascertained, however, that a considerable number of proprietors did not wish to use their carriages upon Sunday, and what he now proposed, therefore, was to charge 78. upon those who tan their car riages seven days in the week, and 6s. upon those who ran theirs only six. (Hear, hear.) In reply to a question from Colonel BLAIR, The CHANCELLOR o f the EXCHEQUER said he did not intend to propose any change with regard to stage coaches. The resolutions were then agreed to. BETTING-HOUSES BILL. On the order of the day- for the second reading of this bill_ cussion of the bill, and with that view would postpone it till Monday. PATRONAGE EXCHANGE BILL. This bill passed through committee. The Colonial Bishops Act Extension Bill went through committee. LAND TAX REDEMPTION BILL. The louse went into committee on this bill, and the various eauses were agreed to. NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTIES BILL. This bill passed through committee pro forma. HIGHWAY RATES BILL. This bill passed through committee. TURNPIKE TRUSTS ARRANGEMENTS BILL. This bill passed through committee. TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE, &c., BILL. The house went i n t o comm i ttee on this bill, hen Mr. FREWEN said he wished to move an additional clause for the purpose of relieving districts where the com missioners of turnpike roads had placed an excessive num ber of toll-gates, in order to exempt the parts of the country where they themselves resided. Thecommissioners often took care to keep all the turnpike gates away from their own neighbourhood—(a laugh)—and inflicted great injustice upon other parts of the district ; and the object of his clause, therefore, was to restrict the number of toll gates within certain specified distances. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL hoped the hon. gentle man would postpone his clause till the bringing up of the report. Mr. FB . EWEN assented, and the bill passed through committee. SHEEP, &c.; CONTAGIOUS DISEASES PREVEN TION BILL. This bill passed through committee. PUBLIC WORKS ACTS AMENDMENT (IRELAND) BILL. Sir J. YOUNG moved the second reading of this bill, the objects of which were—first, to enable grand juries to borrow money from private parties for constructing roads and other public works ; secondly, to transfer certain piers to the grand juries, with power to levy tolls for keeping them in repair; and, thirdly, to transfer one thousand miles of road from the central authority (the Board of Works) to the local authority, namely, to the counties to which the roads in question belonged. This would place no additional burden upon the counties ; and he, therefore, calculated upon receiving the support of hon. gentlemen who opposed centralisation. Lord NAAS said that the grand juries were about to have an entirely new power given to them and he thought it would be a d v i sa b le to put in the bill, some additional safeguard, so that all their proceedings might be well known in every county. Mr. F. SCULLY thought this important power should not be given to grand juries unless those bodies were re modelled and made to represent the ratepayers. Mr. WHITESIDE inquired whether, if the county should be willing to do a certain work, and the surveyor should have the misfortune to be of a different opinion, that work could be carried out? Sir J. YOUNG said he fancied it could not. Sir R. FERGUSON would feel it to be his duty to op me those claufies of the bill giving power to the Board of Works in reference to piers and harbours. Mr. V. SCULLY said that this bill would b® the means of showing the present defective constitution of grand juries; for it would lead to such abuses that the fiscal powers of those bodies would have to be transferred before long to bodies of ratepayers. Mr. FRE WEN said that there was no county in Ireland with which he was not intimately acquainted, and had no hesitation in saying the act of 1836, relating to grand juries, had worked well in that country; and if it worked well in Ireland, surely it must be an exceedingly g ood act. (A laugh.) If coun ty b oar d s were established , as had been suggested, the result would b e th a t presentments would be passed for building Roman Catholic chapels or some thing of that description. (Oh, oh.) The bill was then read a second time. CONSOLIDATED ANNUITIES (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. The Consolidated Annuities (Ireland) Bill went through committee. The Dublin Parliamentary Registration Bill was read a third time and passed. The Public Libraries (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Burials (beyond the Metropolis) Bill was read a second time. Mr. PETO in reference to this bill, called the attention of the house to the way in which the rector of St. Giles's was affected by the closing of the burial-ground of his parish. The reverend gentleman had left a parish worth 6001. a year to come to St. Giles's, but the closing of the burial-ground had reduced the value of his present living from 9601. to 2601. a year. ' When he told the house that the reverend gentleman employed three curates, and that he was liked both by Churchmen and Dissenters—(cheers) --they would see that every consideration which could be shown to the reverend gentleman would be afforded to him. (Hear, hear.) The Consolidated Annuities (Ireland) Bill was read the second time. The Employment of Children in Factories Bill was read the second time. STRANGERS AND DIVISIONS. Mr. MUNTZ moved the consideration of the report of the committee upon strangers and divisions, and proposed that Mr. Speaker take measures to have the resolutions agreed to by the committee carried into effect. Mr. S. HERBERT suggested the postponement of the subject at so late an hour (ton minutes past two). Mr. MUNTZ said the notice had been for some time on the paper, and the object was perfeetly well understood ; but he would consent to postpone it, if the Government would give him a day for its consideration. After some discussion, the debate was adjourned till Thursday. CRIME AND OUTRAGE PREVENTION ACT (IRELAND). Sir J. YOUNG moved for leave to bring in a bill to continue the act 15th and 16th Viet., c. 66 (the Crime and Outrage Prevention Act) until the 31st day of August, 1854- Mr. The MAGUIRE opposed the motion. house divided, and tho numbers were— For the motion 3B Against it. 6 Majority Leave was therefore given to bring in the bill Mr. MIIRROUGH presented a petition against the bill from the keeper of a betting-office, who entreated that it should not be passed into law before the Newmarket Octo ber meeting, upon which a large sum of money had already b een staked. He further craved that his petition should be referred to a select committee, and that he might be al lowed to appear by counsel in support of its prayer. The reading of this petition caused considerable merri ment in the house, which was increased when the hon. and learned member stated, with great earnestness, that he had no sympathy with its object. CROWN SUITS. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL moved for and obtainec leave to bring in a bill fon the amendment of the proce duro and practice in Crown suits in the Court of Each° quer, and for the payment of costs in proceedings insti• tuted on behalf of the Crown. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. Mr. WILSON moved for and obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to friendly societies. CUSTOMS DUTIES. Mr. WILSON also moved for and obtained leave to bring in a bill to repeal certain laws relating to friendly societies. , The remaining orders were disposed of, and the house adjourned at half-past two . o'clock. The ball Was postponed till to-morrow (this day). LAW OF EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. WHITESIDE said he did not object to the amend ment of the law of evidence, but it was with inexpressible astonishment he found several most important clauses in troduced into this bill without a word of explanation from the Attorney-General, though they had no connection what ever with the avowed object of the measure. The object of the bill was to enable husbands and wives to be examined in cases in which they might happen to be parties ; but the hhbeiiirelnlhsheotr.uht could very first clause provided that persons who entertained con scientious objections to the taking of an oath should be per mitted to give an affirmation instead, thus overturning a recent decision of the house. He trusted the bill would be postponed till some future day, when there would be an opportunity of fully discussing its details. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, at that late► hour (one o'clock) he had no objection to accede to the request of the honourable and learned member, though, when he considered that the main features of this bill had been folly and elaborately discussed in the report recently made by the Common Law Commissioners, and had met with session, it oh a no p r: p e r iasl o pe v be a ilch l tl i t i f : : : erhhoemed introduced highest cceielivdt ciadnlat l uvo e is i et a sh l bt oel authorities other in the other !aouse, he was surprised that they should have been opposed ty d a t n ylearnedbody g a e c n q t n i c a rp i n a t n ed h a w d i t r h efe t r h r e e(i, t presentlaw heyon. gi n o a f il e y v i i o d r e m n e w e A impossible that that bill house; but embu ti honourable .nastiet was consider, this present bill, they having received the sanction of the dis tinguished legal authorities in the House of Lords.

It appears that the collec tor of county cess, Mr. Simpson, had made repeated appli cations for the payment of the county cess due on the lands and premises held by the company, but could not succeed in obtaining payment. Accordingly, being bound to lodge the amount of his warrant on the first day of the assizes, unless he could show that any part of it was irrecoverable, and that he had used every necessary exertion to recover it; Mr. Simpson, on Tuesday, attended by a body of his as sistants, met a train at the Nowfoundwell station, and then and there producing his warrant, he took pos session of the train and all it contained. There were six grand jurors travelling by it to attend the Dundalk assizes, which were to open at 10 o'clock, and in ordi nary course they would have been barely in time to be sworn in. Remonstances with the collector were all in vain • the county cess he must have, a n d th e t ra i n was not allowed to move a peg until his demand was satis fied. Then the lost time had to be pulled up by increased speed, and the released engine again snorted along the line which had been just freed from the payment of county cess until the next assizes. —Louth.

This melan choly event occurred at Saint Thomas, whither the lamented deceased was compelled to be conveyed to sick quarters on the arrival there of the Der went. While at Saint Thomas he partially re covered ; but about the 15th or 16th instant he was seized with all the symptoms of yellow fever, preceded by a chilly sensation, and on the 17th he breathed his last, to the deep reg ret of hi s brother o ffi cers, by whom he w as much an deservedly beloved. And here it is pleasing to record the handsome manner in which the Danish Government behaved on the melan choly occasion.
