IITJLARRIA-GE of the EMPEROR of the FRENCH.—NUPTIAL GROUP.—The Empress Eugenie in her beautiful Bridal Dress of exquisite Lace of great value, with the magnificent ornaments worn on that joyous occasion ; also his Imperial Majesty Napoleon. 111., in the full dress of a Lieut , nsnt- Genera?, wearing tM Order of the Legion of Honour, is NOW ADDED to Madame 'I USSAUD and SONS' EXHIBITION, Bazaar, Baker street, Portman-square.—Admission, is ; Napoleon Rooms, 6d. extra. Open from 11 in the morning till 10 at night. SOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only indispensably reauisite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are peculiarly appreciated through life as a blessing highly conducive to the purposes of health and longevity. Among the vari ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing, purifying, an] preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Pre pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre vents all aches in the teeth and gums, effaces spots and diseoloura tion, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Caarriox.—The words " Rowlands' Odonto are on the Label, and "A. Bowlani and Son, 20, Hatton-garden," engraved on the Govern ment Stamp affixed on each box.

EXCISE -OFFICE, in Old Broad-street, FOR SALE.—To be SOLD, by TENDER, by order of the Corn miss-oners of Inland Revenue, in several Lotw, or, if an adequate price be offered, in One Lot, all those extensive, valuable, and highly important FREEHOLD PREMISES in Old Broad-street, in the city of London, known for many years as the EXCISE-OFFICE, and, recently, as the Inland Revenue-oft - Ice; comprising the elegant and substantial stone bailding fronting Old Broad-street, and the spacious offices and inclosed yard contiguous, in the rear, with a carriage -way entrance from Bishopsgate•street, all of which have been for the last eighty years Tested in the Crown, and used for the purposes of the Excise Revenue. The vast importance of this property, in regard as well to Its loca- Uty as its extent, is of the highest character. The Immediate neigh bourhood of the Royal Exchange, the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange, the Auction Mart, and the numerous other public and pri vate establishments for business, renders its value peculiar; and no opportunit , of acquiring a sate in the city of London, in any degree approximating that now offered, will probably again present itself.

MOSES and SON to puhlish the fact of their commodious, complete, and magnificent arrangements for the first and most distinguished business In the world ; but it is right that their patrons and the public should be acquainted with the vast preparations they are perpetually making, tc supply the most fashionable and comfortable attire at the lo'vest prices, and to provide ladies and gentlemen with every kind of cloth ing in the newest fashions, and the most superior qualities. The order department provides elegant styles of MILITARY or NAVAL COSTUME in the most accomplished cut and workmanship, or LIVERIES to any devise which may be desired —superior quality— excellent workmanship—dispatch and economy ma y be depended upon. The ready made department is replete with new styles of dress for daily wear or special occasions, and attire for juveniles not to be equalled elsewhere for novelty, sup• rior quality, and economical charges. The hat and cap section is replenished with every new style,__ and the best goods are charged very low prices. The hosiery branch displays artictes of incomparab le ele g ance suitable for ladies, gent l emen, and children, the quality and price of showing how far the establishments of E. MOSES and SON excel all others. • Emigrants are provided with their outfits, or any part of them, at wholesale prices, by E. MOSES and SON. Persona about to embark for Australia may gain a large per cent• age on small investments made in clothing manufactured by E. MOSES and SON. All classes of passengers aro furnished with the requisite goods and clothing for any Toyage or climate, and the price of superior articles is much lower at E. MOSES and SON, than at any other house. - - - 6otrplets suits of outfits for ladies and gentlemen, and shipsailing information may be had on applicat'on, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradestuan-like falsehood of "Being connected with her Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many Instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minorles, 83, 84, 85, and BG, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating, London West-end Branch, 50G, 507, 508, New Omit.. d-strtet, I, 2, 3, Dart-street, all communicating.

The Earl of ABERDEEN then rose and said : Before proceeding with the business of the house, I wish to submit a motion to your lordships, which I am confident will be received with your cordial and unanimous sup port. In consequence of the happy event which has taken place this day—the birth of a prince—l am de sirous to move an address of congratulation to her Ma jesty, as an expression of that devotion and attachment on the part of this house which her Majesty is so well entitled to receive. My lords, persuasion is not neces sary to induce your lordships to agree to this motion, and I should only be doing that which would be unbe coming if I were to add any further observations -with a view to induce your lordships to give your assent to this motion. I shall only, therefore, move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, congratulating her Majesty on the birth of another prince, and assuring her that every addition to her domestic happiness affords the highest satisfaction to this house. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of MALMESBURY—AIthough it is not necessary, according to the forms of your lordships' house, that any motion made by one peer should be seconded by another ; and although it is still more un necessary that any member of your lordships' 'house should express his conviction that the sentiments uttered by the noble earl opposite are felt, not only unanimously by this house, but by every one of her Majesty's sub jects, I should nevertheless still think it unbecoming if I did not, in the unavoidable absence of my noble friend the Earl of Derby), express the entire concurrence of noble lords on this side of the house in the sentiments expressed by the noble earl opposite, and if I did not state the pleasure which we feel at the news we have this day heard of the safe delivery of her Majesty. Every year adds to the affection which the subjects of Queen Victoria feel for her. No expressions of mine are needed to impress upon this house, or on any other' assembly of Englishmen, that there is but one feeling of loyalty and affection throughout this county for a Queen who has reigned so constitutionally and kindly, but yet with so much strength, over the people of this great empire. (Hear, hear.) The address was then agreed to nentine contradicente. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH BILL. On the motion of the Duke of ARGYLL the retort on this bill was brought up and agreed to. THE PEACE DEPUTATION TO PARIS. Lord CAMPBELL said that he wished to advert for a few minutes to a subject that had occupied their lordship's attention on a former evening --the deputation of London merchants who had presented an address to the French Emperor at Paris. He had then stated that it had been stated that Mr. Adair, now Sir R. Adair, had been sent in 1791 to represent to the Empress Catherine the opinions of a powerful party in this coun try. He (Lord Campbell) did not express his own belief in that statement, but he said that, even if the fact were incorrectly stated, it would not in the slightest degree prejudice the high authority of Mr. Burke with respect to the law which he had laid down as applicable to such a transaction. In consequence of what he then said, he had had a very courteous letter from Sir R. Adair, ex pressing great mortification that the report' should re ceive any countenance—pre-supposing that he (Lord Campbell) had given countenance to it as a fact. Sir R. Adair had, as he said, furnished him (Lord Campbell) with this statement merely for his own information, but he thought he would now mention its substance for the information of their lordships and the public, and for the benefit of history. Sir R. Adair. was now in his 90th year. For many years he had served his country with great distinction. He was sent by successive govern ments to Vienna, Constantinople, Brussels, and Berlin, where he legitimately represented the Crown of England on some occasions of great importance and interest ; and he had uniformly acquitted himself to the satisfaction of his employers and the benefit of the country. The cha racter of such a public - functionary was, therefore, of importance, and he was sure that their lordships would be anxious that this statement should have the utmost publicity. He in the most unequivocal manner denied that he was employed by Mr. Fox, or by any party in this country to represent them, or to make any repre sentation whatsoever to the Empress Catherine ; and he furnished the following explanation of the facts which had given rise to the misapprehension. no said— " The French Revolution had just broken out ; and having early in life applied myself to the study of our foreign interests, I wished to form a true judgment of the effect it - was likely to produce on our relations with the great European States more or less interested with England in the preservation of a balance against French ascendancy. My countrymen went eagerly to Paris. I preferred going to Brussels, to Vienna, toWarsaw, and to St. Petersburg. We all know to what purpose this journey was converted by Mr. Burke, after his hostile separation from Mr. Fox; but it was not until their final rupture in the ensuing year that Mr. Burke's letter to the Duke of Portland, the source of all this nonsense about my Embassy,' was published. Thirty years afterwards, Bishop Prettyman, Mr. Pitt's college tutor, wrote the Life of Mr. Pitt,' in which he alludes to it as a matter of notoriety, and he stated that he could prove the facts of the transaction by authentic documents among Mr. Pitt's papers, of which, as executor, he had become possessed. I had borne with composure all the stupid jokes in the newspapers about myself and my proceed. ings while I was at St. Petersburg ; but this challenge from a holy bishop was not to be despised. I accepted it accordingly, and demanded the production of these documents, so declared to be in his possession. The bishop declined to produce them, and until your speech in the House of Lords yesterday, I have never heard a word about the matter worth attending to. I am sure that you have never seen my Two Letters to the Bishop of Winchester,' published in 1823, or you would not have stated that I was deputed by any man or set of men to go on an errand of this nature to St. Petersburgh, similar to that of the City deputation to the new Emperor. I think as you do on this deputation, on the grounds both of policy and the law of nations." After this disavowal bn the part of Sir It. Adair, than whom he believed there had never been a more honour able man in this country, he hoped that all idea that there was such a deputation in 1791 would be for ever set at rest. At the same time, the law laid down by Mr. Burke on the erroneous supposition of the facts remained untouched, and lie was happy to find that view corrobo rated by Sir R. Adair, who said that he disapproved of this deputation, both on the ground of policy and as be ing contrary to the law of nations. (Hear.) The Earl of ALBEMARLE said that he wished to tender his grateful acknowledgments to the noble and learned lord for the honourable testimony which he had borne to the high character of his (the Earl of Albe marle's) nonagenarian friend and kinsman. It would be most gratifying to Sir R. Adair, for he felt that he had been the victim of misapprehension for sixty years. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. The Earl of HARROWBY then rose to present to the house a petition, signed by between 6,000 and 7,000 native inhabitants of Calcutta and the province of Bengal. The petitioners stated that on the occasion of what was com monly, though improperly, called the renewal of the East India Company's charter, theydesired to call the attentionof their lordships to various points, in which they considered that the condition of India required amendment. They stated that, as subjects of the Crown of Great Britain, the natives of that country entertained the deepest sentiments of loyalty and fidelity to her Majesty, and sincerely de sired the continuance of British supremacy in India, to which they owed freedom from foreign incursions and from the evils of intestine divisions, and of spoliation either by the Government or individuals. They stated that those who were placed under the power of the East India Company enjoyed the benefit of an improved form of government, and received many advantages incidental to a connection with one of the greatest and most pros perous nations ; and that they were impressed with the value of these and similar benefits, and of the consequent obligations which they were under to the nation from b w u h t i c f l e i e thy l th e d a t they e riv e h d them. a dnot profited c b o y u I d not, t h ei r h e on o n w e e e t v i e o r n , with Great Britain to the extent which they had a right to expect. tfonnThoefythen government rec itedand thet the o changes de o i f ntroduced into adminis tration at the time of the last renewal of the charter, and after pointing out their insufficiency they enumerated a number of special grievances, to which he would ask the attention of the house. Some of them were no doubt such as their lordships would not fully sympatkise with, but their presence in this petition was of importance, as proving that this petition was not an emanation from the European population influencing the natives, but that it was, at any rate to a very great degree, the spontaneous expression of their own opinions. The noble lord con cluded by moving that the petition be referred to the select committee on Indian affairs. The Earl of ALBEMARLE bore testimony, from his personal experience, to the reality of the alleged griev ances, and supported the prayer of the petition. ' The Earl of E LLENBOROUGH, while admitting most of the statements in the petition, looked upon the prayer as one which their lordships could not entertain for a moment, as tending to nothing less than a separation of f the colony from the mother country. Having examined the prayer at considerable length, and pointed out the mischiefs to which it might lead, his lordship concluded by exhorting the government to maintain English rule of English minds but at the in India, by the agency ton . into such charges ; and, without expressing any opinion as to their truth, he had said that such an inves tigation must be the first step that should be taken. He had also stated that he was by no means anxious to place the company in any n eiwo. thatnofwhich their colonists which aoaoswn digiven vtetahewhunaedtyi less advantageous position than tes l itia l ah a ellem ( ae l rsn: b ,df e boh e ysre n he :woi p ulaae l lns a dx c aip e rc to d reuecsope b fiaa syvrteethbldtieeeht management soonmrva;t3igairtitenammbt fromoeteoni it that bill this concession, in order 'that the whole ques tion might remain open until another year, with the vi▪ ew of a full investigation. But Parliament had overruled that opinion ; by a, division in the other house It had been determi ne d th a t thi s conc ession should be .. at once made, without any investigation, and with out waiting for the correspondence which had been laid on tue table of the Hou se o f C ommons d ur ing the present session. The bill had come up to their lordship's house at the end of the session, and he had found that it would. be useless to divide the house, and that the decision of Parliament ' was adverse t o hi m • n o inquiry was con si▪ dered advisable, and n one t oo k place. But for what purpose had he said that an investigation ought to be made ? For the purpose of deciding whether it was right that this boon should be conferred. The boon had been conferred, the question had been so far settled, and though he by no means bound himself or the 'Govern ment with regard to their future conduct on this ques tion, when, as he anticipated, it might shortly be raised again, yet he must say that he thought that this was of all others the least expedient moment for Parliament to institute an inquiry either by committee or otherwise. One additional concession had been demanded last year by the New Zealand Company, and when that was under consideration he thought that an inquiry was right and necessary for the honour of Parliament. He had been overruled, but now what immediate cause was there for any investigation ? Ho had said that the time might arrive when an investiga tion would be necessary, and that would be when they knew how the colonists had received the measure of last year. He did not think that that measure would be re ceived with entire accord and satisfaction. He expressed that opinion, not in consequence of any communication which had reached him, but from the mode in which the colonists had received a bill which had been brought in at the end of the session before last, to which, as throw ing a burden on their finances, they had strongly ob jected. They had entrusted to him (the Duke of New castle), in November last, two or three petitions on the subject, and from their tone he certainly anticipated that there would be remonstrances when the act of last session reached the colony. But lie did not think that they ought now to enter on a field of inquiry (witho u t any distinct object) or broac h questions which might be brought under their notice before many months, or even weeks had elapsed. (Hear, hear.) He could see no necessity now for reopening the question, the proper moment for investigation having (as he said) passed by. With reference to the statement which the noble earl bad made, of any individual interest which he might feel, he (the Duke of Newcastle) hoped that it would be unnecessary for him to say, that he had never said, and never believed, that the noble earl, either in his private or official capacity, had been guilty of Conniving at or screening a n y proceedings which he be lieved to be inconsistent with the public faith or with the public interest. In the blue-book which had appeared, containing the correspondence on this subject, there were two private letters which showed what had been the feeling of the noble earl on receiving the first inti mation of these transactions, and those letters would completely exonerate him from any charge of this nature. He (the Duke of Newcastle) would abstain from express ing any opinion with regard to subsequent official com munications of the noble earl after he became convinced of the erroneous view which he had taken in his private communications, because it was not the intention of the Government to propose any investigation into these mat ters, and it would be unadvisable that be should express any such opinion ; but, so far as the noble earl himself Was concerned, whatever may be the case with regard to ether parties, he (the Delo of Newcastle) entertained no opinion whatever that his honour was compromised. (Hear, hear.) Earl GREY thanked the noble duke for the observa tions having special reference to himself, but still he must express his regret that Government did not intend to order an investigation. He must also refresh the noble duke's recollection as to what had really occurred last year. There was a distinct understanding that in vestigation was impracticable then, but was to take place in the present , and he was really mistaken if the late administration had not fully intended that an investigation should take place. Further, he must beg leave to say, that if the case against the New Zealand Company was in part their having concealed certain contingent liabilities, the lapse of time would now set the question at rest, as the liabilities must have fallen in, and Government been called upon to make payment. With respect to the two legal opinions, the most serious charge was that, by sending out one of those opinions, and suppressing the other, the settlers at Nelson had been induced to agree to an ar rangement which they would otherwise have resisted. That was a point in which justice to the settlers and the honour of Parliament was concerned, and the act of passing the bill by no means rendered it less necessary. But more than that, although much had not been said in their lordships' house of the pecuniary part of the question, it was confidently stated in the other house of Parliament that some money which had been advanced by Parliament for public purposes was misapplied by the directors to purposes in which they themselves had per sonal interest. The present President of the Board of Works had made that charge, and offered to prove his charge before a committee of inquiry. Now, if a large sum of public money had been misapplied, it was the duty of the Government to insist on investigation, and if it had taken place to enforce repayment. Charges of direct malversation had been brought forward, and it was the duty of Government to institute the fullest in quiry. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he had admitted the necessity of investigation, but denied the fitness of the present time for the purpose. He thought they should have the views of the people of Nelson before they proceeded further, and, in the meantime, he begged to say that he had made no charge of malversation of public money. He believed that the parties most in terested had expressed a strong wish for inquiry. Earl GREY admitted that the New Zealand Com pany had expressed the utmost anxiety for the fullest inquiry. He could only say, that if he had brought forward charges of so hea%y a nature, he should have taken care they did not fall to the ground. However, it was a lesson to those who, by their present conscious reluctance, showed that their former accusations were groundless, not again to be so rash in circulating slan derous imputations against men who were of as high honour as themselves. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to 8 o'clock. HOUSE 0 F COMMONS.—{YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. ELECTION COMMITTEES. The members of the Dartmouth and Leicester Elec tion Committees were called to the table and sworn, and appointed to sit to-morrow, at 12 o'clock. TAUNTON ELECTION. The Taunton Election Committee was called to the table and"sworn, and appointed to sit to-morrow at one o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Mr. lIINDLEY presented a petition from Lanca shire against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sun days. Several petitions were presented to the same effect by other hon. members. Sir J. ANDERSON presented a petition from Glas gow against the Scotch University Tests. Sir DE LACY EVANS presented a petition from the working men of Westminster in favour of the Combina tion of Workmen Bill. Mr. TUFNELL presented a petition from Rye, pray ing that the writ for that borough be immediately issued. The hon. member gave notice that on this day week he would move the issuing of the writ. Several petitions were presentedagainst the admission of Jews into Parliament. Mr. FITZROY presented petitions from Lewes, Barn staple, and other places, in favour of extending the jurisdiction of county courts in cases of bankruptcy. Mr. COWAN presented a petition from Linlithgow and Edinburgh against the Scotch University Tests. Mr EWART presented a petition from Dumfries against the clause in the Public Houses (Scotland) Bill, prohibit ing the sale of spirituous liquors by grocers. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from Lancashire, in favour of county financial boards. Sir J. TROLIIO - PE presented a petition from growers of corn in Surrey, praying for some reform in the mode of ascertaining the averages of the prico of grain. Mr. HUMS presented"a petition . from the of London in favour of the Combination of Workmen Bill. Mr. RICARDO presented a petition from the Staf fordshire Potteries, praying for the abolition of the mi litia. FLOGGING IN THE NAVY. On the motion of Mr. HUME, a return was agreed to of the number of persons flogged in the Navy since 1847. ACCIDENTS IN COAL MINES. In reply to Mr. HUTCHINGS, Mr. FITZROY said the Government would have no objection to the re-appointment of the committee on accidents in mines, but just now two of the inspectors of mines bad obtained leave to visit France, in order to ascertain the means adopted in those countries for the prevention of such accidents, and it would be more convenient' if the hon. member postponed his mo tion until their return. Mr. HUTCHINGS said he would consent to that course. QUARANTINE LAWS. In answer to Mr. HUILIC,, Lord J. RUSSELL said the sanitary regulations agreed to by the convention which was held in Paris in 1851 were received by the Secretary of State and referred by him to the Board of Trade. It seemed to them that they were open to very great objections, but they were still under their consideration, with the view of arriving at some regulations which would be useful to all mari time Powers. same time to remove all reasonable cause of complaint, by destroying the anomalous authority of the Board of Directors. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. Earl GREY, who was indistinctly heard at the com mencement of his observation s , reminded the house that during the previo us sess i on o f Parliament an accusation of a serious nature was thrown out against the New Zealand Company, it being stated, among other things, that money granted by Parliament for public purposes had been grossly misapplied by the directors, while the conduct of the latter with reference to the settlers had been stigmatised as fraudulent. In the other House of Parliament it was expressly stated by two gentlemen, both now occupying positions in the Government, that they considered those charges to be of the most serious character, and that thay were prepared to prove them at any time. He referred to the present Chancellor of the Exchequer and the President of the Board of Works. Sir Wm. Molesworth stated on the third reading of the New Zealand Bill that he had endeavoured to prevent fraud, but had failed, and that he was prepared to sub stantiate before a committee all the facts he had stated. It was proposed, in consequence of these statements, that certain clauses should be struck out of the bill. The Secretary of State did not express any decided opinion on the charges, but said that they constituted a strong prima facie case against the company, that they required investigation, and that pending that investiga tion it was not just to New Zealand that the land clauses of the bill should be permitted to become law. Under these ciscumstances, he (Earl Grey) trusted their lord ships would concur with him in thinking that investiga tion was absolutely necessary, and the fact of the bill having passed made. not test difference. Be cause if the New Zeal. a ar t o • --had been guilty of , misappropriating the public money it was the right and duty of Parliament to see that money repaid out of the proceeds of the land sales. In the same manner, if it were true that gross fraud had been committed on the settlers of Nelson it was the duty of Parliament to see that redress was afforded. -He was, therefore, anxious to know whether any inquiry was contemplated by the Government, and he was the more interested because in the discussion to which he.had alluded it was broadly stated that he had himself connived at the frauds of the New Zealand Company. The fact was that the case was sub mitted to him, but on investigation he became convinced that nothing had been done calculated to throw the slightest discredit on the honour and fair dealing of the directors. Being so satisfied he had stated his opinion, and he understood that his successor in office had come to a similar conclusion, He submitted, however, that the matter was not in a position in which it could be allowed to rest. When the bill passed through Par liament the voluminous papers on the subject of New Zealand had not been printed, and therefore it was ut terly impossible to go into the investigation. He sub mitted, however, that now the time had arrived for ascer taining in the closest manner whether the public money had been misapplied, and if so, who was to blame, and what measures for procuring redress should be under taken, and for that reason he begged to ask the noble d in u t k en e t t i h on e S o e f cr G et o a v ry for Colon oi ln n o st i i e t s ut w e h a e n th y er in i ci t u w iry as , the means of a Parliamentary committee or otherwise, into the charges which had been made against the New Zea land Company - • - • - - The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that he was not what a d te u r w i nhhgae had taken l t a s h e t p n r e e h p l e ar eedarlahe hadother tli t i place in t in the main cor rectly stated the opinions which he had h a a s dregardedin the that part house,which th the n e e ( h t h l e e e D a r u l k h e a o d f h s a e c r di cu s h r t o a a n n t e s c e l e y e r o f represented ptriemsee Parliamentn tteods earl had considerably overstated o ne pa r t of the e Ns ir ees p sw r i e oc ss na:s e t d le : at the same time he thought that the noble but accusa tions brought against the New Zealand Company, while he had dwelt very lightly indeed on. that part of the accusations against them which had been more imme diately under the consideration of both houses of Parlia ment, and in regard to which he (the Duke of Newcastle) had certainly expressed an opinion that it was inexpe dient to pass a certain portion of the measure. The noble earl said that grave charges had been brought against the company of a misappropriation of funds. He (the Duke of Newcastle) hardly knew to what the noble earl alluded in that statement. Misappropriation was, indeed, to a certain extent employed in the charges against the company, but the main charge under discus sion had been this—that in negotiations with the Govern ment of which the noble earl was a member and Sir Charles Wood Chancellor of the Exchequer, the company had concealed from the Government, and especially from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had then under his consideration a measure for the relief of the com pany from their pecuniary difficulties, that they had con cealed or practised a fraud upon'the public, by repre senting that they were taking a legal opinion with regard to their liabilities, upon which legal opinion the question -of their liabilities was try-vest, tbak.that opinion was ad verse to the comp lay, that they thereupon took another opinion, which was favourable to them, and that they presented the latter to the Government, concealing the fact that there was another. That had been the charge last year, and upon hearing it he (the Duke of New castle) had said, and ha adhered to the opinion, that it was inexpedient, and improper, and impolitic, when a charge of such a suppressio veni, to say the least of it, had been made, to give that company the additional ad vantages which were conferred by the act. What were those advantages ? It had been- found that th e ac t passed by the ° Government in consequence of the ar rangements to which he had referred, had been inope rative to obtain for the company in New Zealand those advantages which were then contemplated both by the Government and the company, and the latter had not received that portion of the pro ceeds of the land sales of the colony which it was contemplated to give them. Thereupon, in the bill of last year, a new arrangement was made, and it was proposed to saddle the debt of £26B,ooo—he be lieved that was the sum —upon the lands of the colony. It was made a condition, upon the concession of the management of the lands to the colonists themselves ; and he (the Duke of Newcastle) certainly had stated then, and his right hon. friends in the other house of Parliament bad also stated, that any additional boon to a company lying under such great imputations and charges ought not to be conceded without full investiga- SIR J. BROOKE. Mr. DRUMMOND said he wished to put a question of some importance to the noble Lord (Lord J. Russell). It was well known that Mr. Huine had for the last two years been in the habit of inserting notices on the paper containing certain allegations and insinua tions against Sir J. Brooke, but he (Mr. Drummond) had taken every occasion to resist such motions. Mr. Hume had shifted his ground, and he now issued from his house, in Bryan sto n e-square, libels on the character of that individual, and these had been published at the expense of the Government. Mr. HUME—I deny they were libels. Mr. DRUMMOND—I say they were gross libels. These letters were presented to the house by the sanction of her Majesty, and they accused Sir J. Brooke, a servant of the Crown, of having been guilty of gross and scandal ous falsehoods. Now, he wished to ask why it was that such grave accusations were allowed to be published by the Government against a man, with respect to whom there was no reason to suppose the Sovereign had any ground for departing from the approbation which she had previously expressed of his conduct. (Cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL said the return of the correspon dence was agreed to after the resignation of the Earl of Derby, and when there was no member of the Govern ment present in the house to give any answer with re spect to its production. When he accepted the seals of the Foreign-office, he found the papers had been pre pared, in pursuance of the address, and his first impres sion was to ask the house to rescind the order which it made—(hear, hear)—but on further consideration he thought it was better that the correspondence should be produced. He accordingly presented the return to the house. He must say, however, that the, course which bad thus been fallen into was a very inconvenient one, and he trusted the house would not agree to any further motion for the production of this correspondence, which in fact consisted of long letters from the hon. member for Montrose to the Secretary of State, containing accusa tions, which he might very well put into a speech in the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME hoped he might be allowed to explain. All these papers had been laid before the house in re gular order. It was only fair that when a paper was printed which applied to a letter not before the house, that the letter itself should be produced ; but he had made charges against Sir James Brooke, which Sir James Brooke shrunk from, and if the house would only grant a committee of inquiry, he would give them. Mr. HENRY DRUMMOND wished now to ask Lord John Russell, whether the Government have re ceived the accounts of the breaking out of the Dyaks in acts of piracy, on the 3d day of February, in Sakarran, under the command of the pirate Rentab, who unfortu nately escaped in the action with Captain Farquhar ; the forcible coming out of a balla (or assemblage for warlike purposes), in war vessels (bangongs) ; and the attacking the forts at the mouths of the rivers Sakarran and Rejang, by which Mr. Lee and many persons with him lost their lives ; again rendering insecure to mercan tile interests the whole coast of Borneo. Lord J. RUSSELL said such information had been received at the Foreign-office, and Lord Clarendon was now moving in the matter. Mr. HUME said these acts of piracy were provoked by Sir James Brooke himself. PILOTAGE BILL. In reply to Mr. DEEDES, Mr. CARDWELL said he hoped he should be able to proceed with the Pilotage Bill, but it would not be brought in at a late hour. • SHERIFF'S COURT (SCOTLAND) BILL. In reply to Mr. COWAN, The LORD ADVOCATE said he proposed to send the bill to a select committee. THE ADMIRALTY BOARD. Sir B. HALL said he should place his motion relative to the Admiralty on the table to-morrow. Ile wi s h e d to know whether there were any minutes at the Adroi.- . ralty touching the promotions referred to in the paper relating to the Chatham election, and if so, would there be any objection to produce them ? Sir J. GRAHAM said he had made inquiry into this matter, and found that there were no such minute ; but there was an original notification in existence from the Surveyor of the Dockyard, relative to the promotion of Master Smith. PILOTAGE CHARGES. Mr. HUME moved for copies of Schedule List of the several rates of pilotage charged by the pilots under the Trinity-house, Deptford Stroud, and the pilots under the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports ; together with the existing regulati ons an d or d ers, by each of these depart ments, for the instruction and information of the ship owners. Agreed to. ACCOUCHEMENT OF HER MAJESTY. Lord J. RUSSELL said, before they proceeded to the ordinary business of the day, he was sure the house would be anxious to congratulate her Majesty upon the birth of another Prince. Relying upon the feelings of loyalty and attachment which the house had always evinced towards the throne it would be unnecs sary for him to preface the motion ho was about to make with any remarks, and therefore without further comment he would at once move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, congratulating her Majesty upon the birth of another Prince, and assuring her M a _ jesty that it always afforded the greatest satisfaction to the house to see her Majesty's domestic happiness pro moted. Mr. DISRAELI had great pleasure in seconding the motion. The feellings of loyalty and attachment which the house felt for the Crown rendered the motion almost one as a matter of course. These feelings were also participated in by the country and they arise from a feeling that with the royal house of these realms were associated the best interests of the land. (Cheers.) The motion was then carried amidst loud cheers. PUBLIC EDUCATION. Lord J. RUSSELL brought in the Government Education Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow fortnight. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. Mr.. V. SMITH moved an address to the Crown for a commission to inquire into corruptipractices at elections at Cambridge :—Graham Wilmore, Esq., Q.C., George Boden, Esq., and Thomas Tower, Esq., Commissioners. The hon. member details the h ea d s o f the evidence of bribery as it came out before the committee, and ex plained that the principal agents employed in the acts of bribery belonged to the fair sex. (A. laugh.) There could be no doubt that a reckless system of corruption prevailed at the last election for Cambridge. The bribery which took place was not only systemafic but also extensive, and it would seem that the only value which the freemen and male electors of Cambridge at tached to the franchise, was the amount of money which their votes would bring them, and nothing like prin ciple or party was ever thought of. He therefore felt bound, as chairman of the committee, to move for this commission and he hoped the house would expe rience no difficulty in agreeing to it. At the same time, however, he ought to state his opinion that the law of agency required extensive alterations and amendments, and he thought it would shortly be the duty of the house to take that question into its most serious consideration. The motion was agreed to without discussion. IRISH CONSOLIDATED ANNUITIES. Mr. MOORE then rose to move, that in the opinion of this house, it is the duty of her Majesty's Govern ment forthwith to take into consideration the Irish Con solidated Annuities, in order to effect a more equitable settlement of the claims for which those annuities were granted, by remitting the amount charged on account of the Labour Rate Acts, 9 and 10 Vic., c. 107, and 10 and 11 Vie:, 87, whilst the repayment of the workhouse loans, the advances for temporary relief, Act 10 Vic., c. 7, the advances for public works, under the Acts 1 Vic., e. 21, and 9 Vic., c. 1, and for the aid of the distressed districts, under the Act 13 Vic., c. 14, are fully pro vided for. He came before the house to ask them to consider a question which deeply affected the whole people of Ireland. This was entirely a matter of facts and details not of principle, and it would be for the house to decide whether it was not due to Ireland that these anomalies should be remitted as an act of justice. He did not ask for it on any other ground, and he trusted, therefore, that both sides of the house, and members of all parties, were ready to give the question a fair and impartial con sideration. It had been once investigated by a commit tee of the house,. composed of all shades of opinion, and the unanimous recommendation of that was to abolish this objectionable tax. The committee -thoroughly stud;ed the whole subject, they took ..e.y4encit..upon it collected from all part of Ireland, and given by persons who were entitled to confidence and respect, and the unanimous resolution which they arrived at was that which he had just stated. Nothing was left undone, nor was any point withheld from the committee which could have induced the committee to come to a different conclusion. (Hear, hear.) He should be sorry to argue that the house ought to be bound by the decision of any committee ; but this was an ex ceptjonal case to the ordinary rule. The country went with the committee in their recommendation, and since this tax was grossly unjust, besides being highly ob noxious to the feelings of Ireland, it was the duty of the house to adopt it. Common sense and sound policy were like in favour of the remission of the tax, and lie hoped the house would have no hesitation in passing the motion. Ireland had never refused to dis charge her just debts or to repay advances that had been made to her as grants ; but she had no right to pay this tax, and it would be an act of policy as well as gene rosity to relieve her from it. Mr. FRENCH seconded the motion. He contended that the report of the Lords' committee on the subject at issue was perfectly just, and he was prepared to prove that it was perfectly moderate in its recommendations. He regretted the necessity for the present motion, and he felt bound to say that the representatives of Ireland had not been fairly treated in regard to the matter at issue by the right hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, before he made any remark on the subject matter of this motion, ho must express the very sincere regret with which ho had listened to that portion of the speech of the hon. member for Mayo, in which the hon. member treated this as a ques tion between Ireland and Sir Charles Trevelyan. Everything done, of which the lion, member complained, he laid on the shoulders of Sir Charles Trovelyan, and described that pub lic servant, whom ho (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) did not hesitate to characterise as an eminently able, up right, honest, and indefatigable man, in terms which he had never heard applied by any member of Parliament to one of that most valuable class of civil servants of the coun try who were the advisers of the Executive Government, who had no means of defending themselves in that house or otherwise when attacked—(hear, hear)—whose useful advice and successful propositions invariably redounded to the credit and honour of „the Ministers of the day, whose advice and propositions ought to be laid to the charge and the responsibility of the Ministers, and ought not to be made the basis of a gross personal attack. (Hear, hear.) It was with surprise and regret that, for the first time during some experience, he had listened to such terms as ' those in which the hon. member described Sir C. Trevelynn as " a dogmatist, a theorist, a practical blunderer, who spared nothing, and who scrupled a t no thi ng ." He was satisfied there were few men in that house who would have made such an attack, and he doubted very much whether the hon. gentleman himself would hereafter repeat it. (Hear.) Whatever Sir C. Trevelyan had advised or done in this matter, it ought not to be laid to his door ; it was to be laid to the door of the Government who adopted the mea sures which he advised ; and if the measures were not sound in principle, or had been found unsuccessful in practice, it was the Government only on whom the blame ought to be laid. He might personally remark of the peculiarity of this dis cussion. He did not recollect the case of a financial pro position of great importance made to the Commons House of Parliament, and supported almost exclusively on the basis of the report of a committee of the House of Lords. He did not mean to say that when justice and good sense were involved in the proceedings of a committee of the House of Lords, they ought not be attended to ; bUt he entirely demurred to the description which the honourable member for Mayo gave of the report of that committee, when ho designated it as a high and commanding autho-. rity. He did not admit the doctrine that the report of a committee of the House of Lords upon a question of finance was to be urged in the House of Commons, not merely as a matter reasonable and deserving attention, but as a high and commanding authority. (Hear.) He was much more diSposed to think that the report of a commit tee of that chamber of the Legislature which was not the taxing chamber, ought to be received with some jealousy by the body to whom was entrusted thetfirdunecntsiotons beocastf tax ing the people and deciding upon the b the standardto consider I. p wh o a n t e t v h e e r mj e r i a t t s i t t h m e g s h a me s t y l e % r t e h f e e y ren o c u e gh to t of reason and justice. (Hear, hear.) He was bound to say that, when he described the motion as supported en. tirely by a report of a committee of the House of Lords, he misstated the.case, for the lion: gentleman who had just sat down went beyond the Committee of the House of Lords, and was of opinion that these Consolidated Annui ties, involVing large sums of money due from Ireland to this country, ought to be remitted, although the committee of the House, of Lords declined t o ma k e any such recom mendation. In the view of the hon. gentleman the com mittee enough, r,lB t t a ein and the t rued Vi i l l :lt h ]ion, gentleman gentleman go report. of o urge in thei r gentleman argued that because it was (Tnetal hon. lto . OdSitnianlryatyccelatrhsewooxuplednadmituourentfotio• taheceretlif of the p oor i n or ainwas exceeded, th a t constituted a s c u la m irn a n against sum te British Exche quer. He demurred to that doctrine ; but, he declined to notice it further, not because the ho nourable gentleman was not entitledt to use it, b u t because th n e o t h c o o ne m e e , b it efo d re id n th the f scope of the would forgive hi m if h e passed by that P w an i d ere rt o i r o e n o tlie the hia l u on se gentleman's speech. Th e h on. gentleman who made the motion did not ask for the remission of the money as a boon, or as a matter of equitable consideration, but on grounds of strict justice ; he founded it on charges which he made against the Government and Parliament of this this country, which he said were guilty of great misdeeds, the consequence of which misdeeds Ireland ought not to bear; For reasons which he should state by and by, he ould not en .., 4 any st a t eme he views of the Government .es question. ou ld not refer to the • dgment , Government with regard to it, but to the arguments raised by the hon. gentleman, that the remis sion of 2,000,0001. or 3,000,000/. expended under the Relief Act of 1846, ought to be made on grounds of strict justice, and because the exaction of it would be a wrong inflicted on Ireland. There, again, he did not think th e t wo h on. gentlemen had made good their case. The statement seemed to be that the Parliament and Government of this country had intruded into the position and usurped tho functions of the landed proprietors or Ireland. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Moore.) He believed these were some of words used—" that the mode of relief chosen was con demned by the people of Ireland"—of course, that meant condemned at the time, because if not at the time it meant nothing—" that the parties who administered relief seduced labourers, caused deaths and starvation, which would not otherwise have taken place, and diminished the amount of means of subsistence in the country." The whole was summed up with a long bill which Ireland had paid in re compense for the great wrongs done to her. It might be said that when the British Parliament enacted the poor law, they committed something like li, usurpation of the functions of the landed proprietors. But if they had not assumed those functions, they must have remained in. abeyance. Parliament passed the poor-law against the epinion of Irish proprietors, and he supposed it would not be pretended now to Fay that Parliament erred in doing so. (Hear, hear.) He knew, whatever might be the opi nion of the mover of this proposition, that - the public at large, and the people of Ireland owed a deep debt of grati tude to the noble lord for having passed that poor-law. (Cheers.) It was now made a great charge against the Government that its officials were placed in the position of the landed proprietors. He wanted to show that, in pass ing the poor-law, the Government and its officials were put in the place of the landed proprietohr under the pressure ' of very strong necessity—absolute necessity—for the wel fare of the people of Ireland ; and therefore it was not a conclusive argument against the proceedings of Parlia ment., if he showed that in the instance they were now dis cussing the Government assumed the functions of the landed proprietors either better to discharge those func tions for the benefit of the people. He did not admit that Parliament did so. He did not admit that the law was forced upon Ireland. What were the provisions of the law? It began by stating that the Lord-Lieutenants should direct extraordinary presentment sessions for the baronies, that such sessions should be held by the justices, and they should record presentments of such public works as they approved. They were required to send up a list of pre sentments of public works, such as they approved, to the Lord-Lieutenant, wh o f orwar d e d th em t o th e T reasury, and no public work was undertaken except it was first approved by the extraordinary sessions, by the Lord-Lieu tenant, and by the Treasury. Would any one tell him that the structure of that act betrayed any disposition on ' the part of Parliament to set aside or neglect the landed proprietors of Ireland ? The Lord-Lieutenant was not authorised to act except upon presentment s ma d e b y th e sessions, consisting of the landed proprietors of Ireland— he had no power of acting independently of them. The hon. gentleman quoted some cases, in which he seemed to allege presentments had been extorted from the local parties by influence, and the works executed somewhat against their wishes. The figures would distinctly show that such cases were the exception and not the general rule ; because what were the facts ? By extraordi nary presentment sessions in Ireland, under the Labour Act of 1846, presentments were made , amounting in all to 6,617,000/. Let . the house remark the import of that. Presentments were made by the landedproprietors for public works to the extent of 6,647,0001. What was the extent of the works executed? The extent executed was 4,460,000/. ; therefore it appeared two millions wero presented by parties locally interested in Ireland which were never sanctioned at all. Did they mean to complain of the selection made in the works, which the local parties had already approved, or did they mean to complain that too few of these works had been executed ? At any rate, if it was charged that these works were executed either in defiance of the will or without the will of the landed pro prietors of Ireland, and that the landed proprietors on whom the burden must ultimately fall were set aside, ho said, on the contrary, the structure of the act showed the utmost anxiety on the part of Parliament that the landed proprietors should have as much discretion as possible, and that the utmost precautions were taken to prevent their having reason to say that they were set aside, and these charges forced upon them in spite of their own different opinion. (Hear.) He believed he might with confidence refer to the discussion in the Houses of Parliament when the act passed. It was very easy to be wise now after the fact. The famine came on with giant strides, and spread over the land with a rapidity and raged with an intensity which no man could foresee, and the machinery broke down. (Hear, hear.) When Parliament met again they recomnised the failure of the machinery, and set about applying remedial measures. No doubt, great mischief had been done, but everybody had been deceived, and everybody had miscalculated. The charge made at the time against the Government was that the act was ham pered with too many restrictions, and that the number of presentments made would be less than it ought to be. If that was the language of the Irish representatives at that time, they had no right to say now that the Government of the day had acted in opposition to their suggestions. For the various reasons which he had stated, he demurred to the proposition made by the hon. member, that any remis sion was due to Ireland on the score of justice. Even if Parliament had been deliberately wrong, he still thought that the hon. gentleman ought to have shown that the Irish representatives had pointed out the right course. But .to that point the hon. gentleman had not even addressed himself. He would now refer to the imputation which the honourable gentleman had made against him (the' Chancellor of the Exchequer). The honourable gentleman said that if he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) made a promise to give an immediate reply, he ought to keep it. So far he agreed with the hon. gentleman, but when he . was told that at the time when he met th e deputation in Downing-street ho promised to give an answer totally irre spective of the budget, he could not say that he agreed with him at all, for he stated exactly the reverse. As he could refer to a written record. , :ef whit passed,, he — ii -- oult --- - -- tell the right hon. gentlen* what liOdid. say. Lord Mon teagle stated to him that there had been a convei•sation in the House of Lords on the night immediately preceding the interview, which would seem to Show that the question had been postponed for reasons of departmental conveni ence, and then he went on to say that the Government had no right to tax the poorest part of the Queen's dominions— namely, Ireland—with reference to any question of surplus or deficiency in the annual income of the State. In reply, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) stated that the Earl of Aberdeen, in the speech to which Lord Monteagle hal referred, merely said that the question was not to depend on the surplus or deficiency of the year. This statement he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) made at the time, and this statement ho now repeated. The hon. member, in stating that the answer which ho had proMised to give, was to be quite irrespective of a surplus, represented him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to bo out of his senses. When every question connected with fiscal administration was raised, and pressed against from every quarter, the hon. gentleman would have a right to be more severe upon him Chad he had been, if lie really believed that ho had given an immediate answer to a question which was most complex in its character, and which involved five millions of money. The fact was, that he had not only stated that he could not give an immediate answer, but he had detailed the reasons why he could give one. He stated that the question of the consolidated annuities was con nected with the financial condition of the country, and that it was not the intention of the Government to take any steps in the matter without reviewing the whole of the financial prospects of the State. To that declaration he still adhered. It was not the intention of the Government to consider the question of the consoli dated annuities, except in conjunction with the other great financial questions of the clay. This was the 7th of April, and on the 18th it would ho his duty, on the part of the Government to lay before the house the whole of the views which her Majesty's ministers entertained on the financial position of the country. He trusted, therefore, that the hon. gentleman would not consider it disrespectful to him if ho declined to enter upon any further discussion of the question at present. It would then appear whether the Government were justified in the views which they took with respect to the general finances of the country. If the hon. gentleman did not agree with those views, it was open to him to move a vote of censure upon the Govern ment. He had no more at present to say than that, in his opinion, the hon, gen tl eman who had made this motion had not made out the case which he stated it was his inten tion to prove, namely, a ease of wrong and oppression on the part of Parliament and of the Government against Ire land at the period of the famine, and on the ground of which wrong and injustice ho had claimed the remission of two or three millions, not as a matter of equitable con sideration, but upon the basis of strict restitution. To these observations, therefore, he had only to add that he should feel it to be his duty to oppose the motion. Mr. H. HERBERT agreed with the right hon. gentleman in all that he had stated with respect to the Irish Poor law, to which he looked for the regeneration of Ireland. What was complained of was, that while members of that house and the public press wero lecturing on the necessity of self-exertion, Parliament, by its legislation, had made it impossible. With respect to the Irish landlords, no one could doubt that they had been guilty of many sins, both of omission and commission, but at the same time he believed that when the famine came they were prepared to do {.heir duty. The r ight hon. gentleman was perfectly correct an stating that the Government could not initiate any particu lar work at the presentment sessimis ; but could lul b.; so ignorant of the state of the country as to believe that l.he owners of land, in the midst of a starving population, wore really free agents ? (Hear, hear.) They were placed in a position, which, he thought, any man of common sense must perceive rendered them—if they were alive to the common feelings of humanity—almost involuntary actors in the performance of the duty which had boon imposed upon them. It was felt that a pressure must exist on those who had to carry out the act, and this was one of the causes of its failure. The presentment sessions were on more than one occasion scenes of confusion, intimida tion' and riot, which was the natural result of giving th e people to understand that the magistrates had nothing to do but to carry out the intentions of the Legislature, and give them work. Even if the landlords had been insen sible to the intimidation which was exercised, there were few who were willing to evade the responsibility which the condition of their fellow -countrymen imposed upon them,_ and Sir C. Tre ve l yan himself gave a list of landlo r d s , including Lord Lurgan and others, who lost their lives in consequence of the efforts which they made to relieve des titution. Lord J. RUSSELL had hoped, that after the lapse of seven years, something like a dispassionate consideration would have been manifested for the difficulties which be set the executive and every one else in the great and dis tressing trial to which the people of Ireland were sub jected. He was very sorry to find that this was not the prevalent feeling. He thought that a great portion of the statements in the document which had been so much re ferred to, the report made by a committee of the House of Lords, wore well founded, and gwe an accurate picture of the case. What he thought the fault of the report was, the total omission of the subject which the committee had to consider, namely, the famine; and that it was the duty of every ono to mitigate that calamity in the only way they could, by trying to save human life. The report, how ever, seemed but now and then to notice that fact inciden tally, though it was the great subject of their inquiry. Errors, no doubt, might have been committed by the Go vernment and others, but the question was, whether they did not, in a great degree, arrive at the end proposed, and save the lives of a great number of persons. It was represented for the purposes of this motion that there as an undertaking by the Government of this couet r ry..t e o f for in duce the Legislature to determine on a system Irish en landed the Irish people without the consent of t proprietors. The hon. gentleman who fair r d dhjluessetivdtoisovnn on n ta t t h et e l that the landed proprietors had not . a subject, and could not exercise an Awry, s i t a h l ejutidruewntas, was, by he added that they were carried nv es' L n Ci 1 I' rf cy 0
