THE CITY OF LONDON AND THE SEAT OF FA S HION. THE CITY of LONDON, in a geographical, topographical, commercial, and trading point of view, is superior to any town in the kingdom. As the " seat of fashion," the superlative claims of the City are everywhere asserted and maintained, and hence the familiar phrase :—" If you would have really superior articles, you must go to the City for th. - Why (it may be asked) is a constant trading communication kept up with the City, the suburbs and the provinces? Would this be the ease if the English capital were simply on a par with other less distinguished localities ? Most assuredly not. L. HYAM for many years has had the honour of vindicating and establishing the reputation of the City London as the seat of fashion, by a successive display of seasonable attire not elsewhere to be met with. L. Hyam maintains his high position by invariably selecting from the best markets, and by securing artists of long practice and ability. There is no novelty, no improvement that L. Hyam does not avail himself of. The Proprietor's present collection of dress surpasses that of any preceding season. Each description of dress displays "City " excellence in material, cut and make—excellence easily distinguish able from any and every other c'ass of costume. An inspection of She new summer light overcoats, dress coats, frock coats, trousers and waistcoats, will satisfy parties making the inspection that the Just repute of the city of I ondon (as above asserted) is well upheld by L. Hyam, who, in addition to superior style and quality in dress, ens' sures to purchasers the advantage of exceedingly moderate prices. 1 OBSERVE !—L. HYAM begs to state that Ise has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch•street, City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi ness carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied with good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound wrkmanship, at such economical prices as must defy all competition.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matricslated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. VI AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregu"arities and excesses, which have pro laced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience In the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. . It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated wltuout incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be remove 1, and how the evil and its con equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any decree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and a the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through tile medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply roe arded by the great success that has attended his efforts In the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury ou those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. • At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on • SELF-PRESERVATION, A Medical Treatise on the Pi•ilosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s Gd, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs. Piper Brothers and Co., 23, Paternoster-row; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Storie, Titehborne- street, Haymarket; or free by post for forty-two stamps, to any addresa from the Author's resi dence. 37.

(Hear, hear.) By such an enactment they would embarrass the trade, without doing any real good. (Hear.) He hoped, therefore, the noble earl would take further time to consider this question, and when he had produced a measure really calculated to remove the abuses that now existed, he would find no more earnest supporter tlizin himself. The Earl of WICKLOW concurred very much in the views taken upon this subject by the noble• lord below him (Lord Beaumont). The noble earl had given no good and definite reason why this measure should be carried into effect. The only reason he gave for it was, that the late act was evaded by boys being smuggled into houses as persons carrying bags or brushes, and then by stealth put up the chimney; but the law as it stood was so strin gent, that it was almost impossible it could be evaded in this way, The act was not evaded in London, because the 'penalties were well known there, and if the noble earl would only circulate bills to let the people in the country generally know what the penalties were, as little evasion would take place in country districts. He, there fore. looked upon this as a useless piece of legislation. The noble earl (Panmure) said the law interfered for the protection of children. That wan true, but the law did not prevent them entering into a trade under 16. If this bill passed, there would be a penalty imposed on a chimney-sweeper for taking his own son to assist him in his trade. (Hear, hear.) Ihis Company has introduced, as more p , culiarly appllcal , le to the Middle and Induitrious Chests, a plan of SELF- l'ltO rt.:(2 s.l IN SURANCE, whereby in one Paley for one rate of Premium, h re combined sit Insurance of a Sum payable either at &ant or on at laMing a specille.l age, and a pension or annuity alter that aye ; and giving the lull la-nefit of all Premiums that have Leen paid, although the payments should at any time he tilieontinued. • • ALEXANDER UOISERTSON, Stanager. s „ The Duke of ARGYLL said, the chief argument in favour of this bill was the fact, that the former act to prevent children being employed , in chimney-sweeping was evaded. It was notorious that such evasion took place, and therefore they were called upon to prevent it. Of course, if any noble lords were of opinion that the for mer act was a bad act, he could understand their opposi tion to the present bill, but those who approved of the first act ought to approve of the present also. (Hear.) The noble earl (Wicklow) said that the Legislature, in .interfering in the case of children, never prevented their entering a trade ; but, to make his observation applica ble to the present case, everything depended upon what he meant as the trade of chimney-sweeping. The bill before their lordships prevented young persons being employed " within any house,"—these words having been added to the bill by the noble earl. It was plain, therefore, that children might be employed out of doors. Lord MONTEAGLE said, the bill prevented any per son under 16 years of age from using the trade of a chimney-sweeper within any house. Now, by a stand ing order of their lordships, it was provided that no bill for "regulating the conduct of any trade," or "altering the laws of apprenticeship," should be read a second time till a select committee should have considered and re ported on the expediency or inexpediency of the house proceeding to take the matter into consideration. The object of this order was clearly to prevent hasty legisla tion on these matters, and he believed it was impossible for any bill to come more distinctly under its provisions than the present. He therefore called upon their lord ships to enforce their standing order in this case. (Hear.) The Earl of SHAFTESBURY might not have been sufficiently acquainted with the orders of their lordships' house ' • but, as to the merits of this question, nothing should ever induce him to recede from the position which he had taken up. (Hear.) With regard to the ob servations of the noble baron opposite (Lord Beaumont), who had spoken with so much force against legisla tion upon this matter, he could only say that he trusted in God he should ever fall under his censure, and under the censure of all those who, with him, could apply to the course he had taken a charge of cant and miserable legislation. He rejoiced in the observation the noble lord had made, and he rejoiced that the noble lord had nothing more tangible to bring against the measure which he had introduced to their lordships' notice. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord had told them that the act of 1840 had produced no good whatever. Now he had great reason to complain that he and other noble lords rose to make statements upon this subject while they were not able to corroborate. Having no knowledge of the class of which they spoke, not having given them selves the trouble to inquire personally among the people themselves, to perambulate the streets in which they lived, and to go into the dens of human misery where they were to be found, they nevertheless came before their lordships and affirmed that the late act had pro duced no beneficial effects whatever. Now, he totally denied the statement of the noble lord. He could pro duce the most convincing testimony to show that consi derable advantages had arisen from that act ; that there were hundreds and thousands of children, who, but for that act, would have been employed in this disgusting and degrading occupation, now engaged, after beimg educated in trades and occupations that were worthy of the dignity of free men and the privileges of a Christian people. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to be thought that the sweeping-machines and the system of chimney doors could not be used except at great expense, and without breaking the ornamental parts of drawing rooms ; but the fact was, they could be constructed at a very small cost indeed, and if they prevented alto gether the occupation of climbing boys, those chimney doors would be universally used, for cre was not a house in any part of the kingdom, however old it might be, where they could not be erected at a small expense. The noble lord said that fires had greatly increased in consequence. [Lord Beaumont dissented.] Did the noble lord now repeat to the house the assertion that, in consequence of the act of 1840, fires had occurred or increased ? If not, the noble lord had, in his place in Parliament, without inquiring, and with the view of exciting a feeling against this act, and to induce their lordships to throw out the present measure, made a very wide and untenable statement. Lord BEAUMONT explaine3, that he had made in• quiry as to the truth of the facts to which he referred. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY expressed a hope that their lordships would not take on themselves the re sponsibility of defeating a measure intended to remedy a condition worse, if possible, than that of slavery. The Earl of ABERDEEN entered fully into the feel ing which animated the noble earl on this subject. At the same time he would recommend the noble earl, with a view to maintaining the regularity of their proceed. ings in that house, to allow the bill to be referred to a select committee. It was understood that the commit tee would not enter into any further inquiry, and there fore the reference would cause no material delay. After a short conversation on the point of form, in which the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, Lord PANIIURE, and the Earl of WICKLOW participated, The bill was referred to a select committee. Adjourned.

Lord DUDLEY STUART gave notice that on this day month he would move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the Septennial Act. EDUCATION BILL. Mr. MIALL gave notice of his intent!on to add a proviso to clause 25 of Lord J. Russell's Education Bill, to the effect that the assessment on persons under the bill should he reduced by the amount which they volun tarily contributed to scho)ls in the town or borough in which they resided. on ihepresent occasion, and to content themselves with DOCKYARD PATRONAGE -REPORT OF COMMITTEE. strangling the question by votes. (Hear, hcar.) Ae did not think it necessary to enter into the merits of the ques tion further than by saying, that the English Government having entered into certain engagements with Ireland at the time of the union, the Irish representatives only asked that those engagements should be fairly carried out. They only asked that a competent tribunal should be appointed to decide on the mode by which Ireland, considering her Lord SEYMOUR. brought up the report or the com mittee appointed to inquire into the patronage of the Admiralty in regard to dockyards. relative capability, should be called upon to contribUte to the support of the State • and, if that tribunal should de cide that increased taxation should be laid upon Irdand, they would willingly and cheerfully submit to it. But if, on the other hand, it shuul d decide that no - additional taxation should be levied upon that country, they hoped the Government would also be ready to abide by that decision. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MA.CARTNEY had always thought that if there was a fair account taken as between the two countries The report was read by the chief clerk (Sir D. Le Marchant) on the motion of Sir G. Pechell. It was a very voluminous document, and occupied an hour in reading. The committee divided their inquiry into four distinct questions, on each of which they proceeded to offer their observations in detail. The first was the cir cumstances under which tlio circular sent to the sur veyors of dockyards on the 26th of September, 1849, was cancelled on the 10th of April, 1852, with out any order or minute of the Board of Admiralty. After detailing at great length the main facts proved before them, and which are already familiar to the public, they stated it was their opinion that the circular was undoubtedly cancelled with the consent of the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Duke of Northumberland, who seemed to have acted under the belief that the power to cancel it remained properly with the Secretary of the Admiralty, Mr. Stafford. The First Lord, they added, therefore, sanctioned the cancelling, in ignorance of all those forms of the Admiralty which it was essential for him to know. The committee had not been able to ascertain any facts which could justify Mr. Stafford in cancelling the circular, and it was evident to them that he had adopted that proceeding for the purpose of satisfying his political friends. The committee stated, in justice to Sir B. Walker, the Surveyor of the Navy, that they had heard nothing which cast the least shadow of suspicion on the integrity of his conduct in the per formance of his duty. (Cheers.) The report was ordered to be printed. REFUGEES IN TURKEY. Lord D. STUART said it had been stated in the pub- frelaial could afford to pay the income tax ; but until tsat t,ccotint was gone into he did not think it would be fair to lic papers that a demand had been made by Russia and Austria upon the Porte, requiring the Go vernment of Turkey to expel political refugees from Turkey. The demand to which he referred did not require that refugees should be removed into the interior of Turkey, but that they should be entirely expelled the country, which was an unjust interference with the rights of the Turkish empire, and he wished, therefore, to ask if the Government had received any information of such a demand. impose that tax upon her. Mr. CONOLLY said, ho should not only be incon.sistent with his own professions in that house, but untrue to those who sent hina'there, if he did not take the earliest oppor tunity• of impre ss i ng on th e G overnmen t the a b so lute neces sity o f grant i ng an i nquiry before placing upon Ireland a tax which went to vitiate one of the leading articles of the union. and which he considered as eminently unjust. Ho thought he was also entitled to insist that the Government should distinctly place before them the grounds upon which they asked the house to extend the income tax to Ireland, for ho must say that he felt it was a personal indignity to the Irish members to have all their reclamations against this impost treated with silent contempt by the right lieu. - ..e.ntleinen on the other side, and that thny should be over borne by a majority, and a majority alone. (Hear, hear.) tie maintained that on the principle of seN-interest, if upon no higher grounds it was th e b us i ness of the house t th he gr la a late theet Sir pweheilc was as w s n perfectly ov u r i g g h b t t . and the solemn d u ty of 'the Gov ernment, as the guardians h f e t h b e el e t v a e t , e l , in the opinion he had expressed that the income tux, if applied to Ireland, would not pay the expenses of its col lection. He could only tell the house that, by extending the income-tax to Ireland, they would be flying in the face of a whole nation, and treating the Irish people with a contempt they would feel most poignantly. The Exche per of England, he was satisfied, would not receive the slightest advantage from such an outrage. From motives if high policy, the late Sir Robert Peel refused, in 1845, .to extend the,iacome tax to Ireland, but the state of Ire land at the present time was not nearly so prosperous as it. was th en . (Hear, hear.) If it could be shown that Ire land had unjustly evaded her fair share of the imperial taxation, he (Mr. Conolly) would at once assent to the ex tension of the income tax to that country. The people of Ireland were not to be led away by theories that 1001. in one place was as good as 1001. in another. 'They suffered snough from the burdens, local and imperial, which were .hrown upon them, and they felt that any addition to those burdens was peculiarly unjust at the present time. Mr. WILKINSON said ho thought, whatever Ireland alight complain of, she certainly could not complain of the want of a fair attention on the part of that house. (Hear, hear, and a laughs.) He could only say, that since he had been a member of that house one-half of its time had been )ccupied in the discussion of Irish affairs. He supposed the object of the proposed committee would be to inquire what would be a fair share of taxation to be borne by Ire land. Now, he would put it to hon. representatives of Ireland whether they thought they were pursuing . the course by which they were most likely to obtain their' object ? Ho wondered they did not feel some sense of humiliation in :oming forward and suing, as it were in forma pauperii, -Asking exemption from one tax and another. For his own mart, he was quite ready to give his support to the budget, which, he believed, would tend to promote the general Advantage and prosperity of the country. Lord C. HAMILTON observed, that he might remind the hon. member for Lambeth that, but for the union, it .vould have been unnecessary for any Irish representatives to trouble that house on the subject of the fiscal arrange ments of their country. Ho understood that the object of the motion was to obtain the appointment of a committee who might inquire whether the tams upon which th e inion was established, and which brought Irish member e into the house, had been strictly and fairly carried o u t with respect to the burdens of taxation borne by the tw o countries. He hoped the hon. member would not conside r that, in doing his duty to his constituents, he was pleading for them in fornut pauperis. He (Lord C. Hamilton) thought it might be shown that the bargain made at the union had not been quite fairly observed. In order to induce the Irish Parliament to waive its separate rights, Lord Castlereagh had distinctly declared that Ireland Abould not be called upon to pay towards debts and liabi lities incurred by Great Britain before the union, but that As to future expenses the two countries were to be taxed on a strict measure of relative ability. He (Lord C. ilamilton) thought, then, that Irish members had a Lord J. RUSSELL said, having received notice of this question, he had consulted with the noble earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the subject. He had ascertained from the noble lord that no such in formation had been received at the Foreign-office. right to ask whether, in this new framework of financial legislation, not only the letter but the 'pit - it of that contract had been strictly considered. (Hear, hear.) He had long thought that Ireland must have an in come tax, if such a tax was to he permanent in England— (hear, hear)—but he wished it to be ascertained what dif ference there was between the resources ofireland in 1845, and at the present time, which now rendered that country to much more capable f bearing additional taxation with out injury to her interests. He would ask whether, when Ireland had just passed through a period of great difficulty, it would be wise for the Imperial Treasury to seize upon the first fruits of her returning prosperity? The tendency A such a proceeding would be, he believed, be to retard, it not to destroy that prosperity, and to paralyse the efforts by which, during the last few years, so much had been accomplished. The remissions now contemplated as re tarded Great Britain amounted to 1,470,0001., but the only remission for Ireland was that of the consolidated an nuities, which, he contended, ought not to enter into the tmlanee at all. He would not enter at any length into igures ; but, allowing 2;50,000/. for the consolidated au nuitics„that left a surplus in favour _of_ Great Britain of 1,220,600 t. Was time in Lho spirit of the Act of Union? Ito did not wish to complain of or to deny their power to imposo additional taxation. All the supporters of this motion wanted was inquiry, and that inquiry he hoped the house would give. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER could not well commence his observations upon this discussion with out adverting to the remarks of the hon, member for Rog common (Mr. F. French) on what ho had been pleased to term the inattention of the Government during the speech of the hon. and gallant gentleman who had brought for ward this motion. For his own part, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) entirely disclaimed that charge. (Hear.) He was in the house, endeavouring to attend to the hon. and gallant gentleman—(hear)—when some persons who were now sarcastically cheering him were not in the house at all. (A. laugh.) He did his best to hear the gallant colonel, but there was so much noise during his speech that it was heard most imperfectly, and it appeared to him that a large share of that disturbance came from the neighbourhood of the gallant colonel himself. (No, no, and a laugh.) The hon. member for Donegal (Mr. Conolly) had stated that it was in no spirit of evasion that this mo tion was made—that there was no desire to escape from the question or evade a fair share of taxation as regarded Ire land. Now, he accepted implicitly the assztion of the hon. member, without assenting, however, to the proofs upon which that assertion rested ; for he thought the asser tion would have stood better without those proofs than with there. (A laugh.) It did not appear to him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) that this motion had at all the effect of demonstrating to the house or to the country that there was no disposition to evade the question. He was quite sure such a motion would not be made the rule of proceeding in another place. He remembered, in 1833, when there had been a long discussion upon the question of negro emancipation, and when the discussion had been ended, and a bill had been brought in and read a second time, the hon. member for Montrose made a motion very similar to this—namely, that in lieu of going into com mittee on the bill, a select committee of inquiry should be appointed. The hon. member for Montrose was followed on that occasion by the Earl of Derby, then Lord Stanley, who administered such a reproof as it was not in his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) power to give to the hon. and gallant colonel, but which, if it were in his power to administer, ho was sure would prove a great discourage ment to the hon. and gallant member. (Hear, and a laugh.) He did think the present motion was an e tremely unfortunate one, both in respect to the form and the time at which it was made. In the first place, it was interposed as an absolute bar to their progress with this bill. (Hear.) It was an amendment to the Speaker's leaving the chair. Now, what was this billy It was something else than applying the income tax to Ireland. (Hear, hear.) It was a bill for repairing a deficiency , of 5,000,000/. in the national revenue and for carry ing on the service of the year, being so far irrespective of Ireland. The way to draw attention to the case of Ireland would have been to either bring forward a separate motion or to move to exempt Ireland from the operation of the tax in committee. But now they attempted to bar the further progress of a bill which repaired a deficiency of 5,000,000/. in the public revenue, and upon which hinged the whole financial arrangements of the year ; and all these arrangements as regarded England and Scotland were to be suspended until they had got the report of a select com mittee upon the relative taxation of England and Ireland. (Hear.) There would have been far more propriety in such a motion if it had been made at the first step taken in this matter ; it ought at any rate to have come at a far earlier period than this. Why was the question of equal taxation between the two countries revived now , after it had been h debated for nights together , an d after divisions had been taken upon it, in which the sense of the house had been unequivocally expressed. (N o, no !) Noy Wh y , on the mail motion the debates had chiefly turned upon the case separately of Ireland — the quest ion of a pp l y in g the tax to Ireland discussed and decided ; and, having been was separately decided, and the competency of the house to decide upon it having been thus admitted, the hon. and gallant gentleman now came down, at a very much later Stage, and asked the house for a select committee of inquiry ! (Hear, hear.) . That appeared to him (th e Chancellor of the Exchequer) a bad Parliame n t ary ground upon which to stand, and one of a very inconvenient 'st u d es is tio cha racter as respected the order and consi s t ency of public pro scieteitol i n n g to s. avoid(H e a o r r , escape hear.) f roWmiththreegmaredritto, o committee, t h f is the admired), who the judgment o f hi s noble friend had said h e would not go fully , he had not, in taking these objection s , the alighttpo; am ad il ta to h n . d s (Lo e r l fd.

This was place since the union upon that rather remarkable taatvey inconvenient topic. It was the proceedings relating to this Act of Union, which had occurred in the interval, should have been allowed to drop entirely out of sight. They were told it was a very hard case that Ireland should pay 1,000,000/. or 5,000,0004. towards the general revenue of the country. That. was said to be a very hard case, and Ireland, it was added, would have been much better off in regard to her financial condition if she had kept separate from England. (Hear, hear ; from the Opposition benches.) She would ? Well, he was glad now to have got a per fectly distinct statement. There was a fair challenge to him, and he accepted it. The hon. gentleman said, then, that it would have been better for Ireland—that she would have been at far less cost than she was at present—if, in stead of having her finances consolidated with those of E g n - land,,• she had been allowed to continue upon her. own ground.

Lord BEAUMONT • gave notice that, on Friday, he would call attention to a treaty concluded relative to the succession to the Crown of Denmark, The Earl of MALMESBITRY gave notice that, on Friday, he would put a question to the Foreign Secre tary as to the negociation going on between Russia and Turkey. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that on the 6th of June, in moving for correspondence he would comment on the measure which was to be introduced on the 3d of June, in the other house, for the government of India. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Sir A. Stewart, complaining of the depreciation of property in the West Indies. The noble and learned lord touched at some length on recent colonial legislation, and also animadverted very severely on the attempts lately brought to light to introduce slaves on the coast of Cuba. He concluded by asking the Government whether they were aware to whom the blame of these proceedings was to be attributed ? _ _ The Earl of CLARENDON said he was sorry to say that the slave trade was carried on to a considerable ex tent in Cuba, and that, although our Consul-General at the Havannah was indefatigable in his efforts to bring these proceedings to light, he was, owing to the peculiar laws of Cuba on the subject, unable always to suc ceed. - He could, however, assure the noble and learned lord that no endeavour on the part of the Government would be spared to put an end to the traffic. The Spanish Government had recently given the most solemn assurances 'that the treaties should be rigorously adhered to. After a fe. ve words from Lord BROUGHAM and Lord WHARNCLIFIPE, the subject dropped. INDIA.---TREATAIENT OF THE NATIVES. Lord ELLENTOROUGH begged to know whether there was any objection to produce the proceedings of three courts- maeial which had been held in India, on Mr. --, a lieutenant in one of the Bengal cavalry re giments. In 1850 this gentleman had been tried for drawing his sword on his superior officer on parade, and since that time he had been tried, within little more than one month, on three separate charges, for striking three natives—one of them a member of a caste in high esteem with the Hindoos. For these offences he had been fined six months' ,vay and put back several steps ; but he was still allowed, it would appear, to remain an officer of the army—that army upon the fidelity and de votion of which depended altogether the maintenance of our dominion over India, which fidelity and devotion depended on their respect ,nor their European masters. (Hear, hear.) The house might be assured there was great danger in perm witting persons who had been guilty of such outrages as these upon the natives to remain in the army. (Hear,. hear.) He trusted that the officer to whom he had refArred would be taken to answer for his offences before the Supreme Court, and if found guilty, which there seem.exl little doubt he would be, be dismissed the army. Should the Court of Direc tors decline to dismiss him, it was competent in her Majesty, by an order under her sign manual, to dismiss the offender. Earl GRANVILLE said, that the ]mome authorities anxious to do all in their power to protect the natives of India from cruelty, oppression, or other wrong, had issued a general regulation that any officer in the Indian army found guilty of having committed any such offence against the native population should be cashiered, and, sent to England. He had no doubt that the next mail would brine- word, if the offenee complained of had been proved, that the offender had been punished iu pur suance of that regulation. (Hear, hear.) . COMMON LODGING-HOUSES BILL. The bill passed through committee pro forme!. CHIMNEY-SWEEPERS' REGULATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that the report on this bill be received. The Earl of CLANCARTY opposed the bill. With respect to Ireland, the result of his inquiries was, that to a great extent the act which the noble earl desired by the present bill to enforce uniformly had been carried out ; but in some instances it was found impracticable to apply machinery to old houses. In the west of Ireland peat was burnt, and the soot arising therefrom got into a hard cake, which it was found impossible to remove by the machinery at present used. In order, therefore, to prevent crude and impracticable legislation, he should move that a select committee on the subject should be appointed, and that its report should be considered before the bill was read a third time. Lord BEAUMONT wished the noble lord who had just sat down had moved the rejection of the bill, which appeared to be erroneous and dangerous in principle, and in its details ineffective and mi ser able. This was not a bill to prevent boys going up or descending chimne y s ; for already, he was sorry to say, an act for that object had been passed, but it was a bill to prevent boy s, he might almost call them young men, under the age of 16 from carrying a bag and a brush for the purpo se of as sisting the cleaners of chimneys. If their lordships passed an act to prevent that occupation he did not know where they could stop, and, where it not for the high character of the noble earl, the originator of the bill, lie should be disposed to designate the measure as the effusion of pitiful cant and pseudo-humanity. He wished that the existing act had never been passed, be cause he believed that the effect had been that a few more houses had been burnt than would have been other wise. He admitted that there was cruelty in forcing children up ill-constructed chimneys, but that might be obviated by laws having reference to the construction of chimneys. lie objected to this constant interference by the Legislature in all matters of private trade, and he suggested that the bill should be reported that day six months. Lord PANMURE deemed i it not unbecoming in that house to throw the shield of its protection over infants not able to protect themselves. That had been done in respect to factories, and it was , especially necessary to do the same in the case to which the present bill referred, because there was no trade in which infants were ex posel to so much wanton cruelty as in the trade of chim ney-sweeping. He knew that the lives of many hun dreds of poor children had been saved by the existing act, and as that prohibited the master sweeps from taking apprentices under 16 years of age, the present bill was ' intended to guard against the evasion of the law by pre venting children under 16 years of age being employed in the chimney-sweeping business under the name of assistants, and being then forced into chimneys because the owners of the houses would not incur the trifling expense necessary for rendering the flues adapted to 1 machine sweeping. He did not regard this as an in fringement of the principle of free labour ; but he con ceived it to be just such a protection as their lordships were bound to throw round a class of persons who were too helpless to protect themselves. Lord ST. LEONARD'S thorght their lordships ,should be careful not to adopt any course that might t end to destroy the chimney-sweeping trade. It was a t rade which they could not do without, but at the same ti me every body must be desirous to remove any abuses th at were connected with it. As the law now stood, ch iinney-sweeping by boys was not only prevented, but also cruelty to boys, and therefore to that extent the xtrica te necessary ul e m machine ch i to jilts heensotdtepgveoernts ouinnpsthat uhpea providedhithm 0: chimneysnuo e r s y . e,i nHe which had 0 nbeen flue informed communicated CAM) was with on t occasions c ca extricate si s where the t m he ae i h n i s n t e r s u f iwhenmp impossible age absolutelyto extricate without sending. somebody up.

In reply to Sir DE LACY EVANS, Lord PALMERSTON said that many representations on the subject of the high charges made by the clerks of the Lieutenantcy, for the issue of commissions in the mi litia. Officially he had no power in the matter ;it rested very much between the Lord-Lieutenants of counties and their clerks ; but, finding that in some counties, especially in Staffordshire and Warwickshire, there was an uniform fee ch%rged of 1/. ls. for commis sions below the rank of captain, and 2/. 2s. for com missions for officers of a superior rank —he bad written to the Lord Lieutenants of counties, recom mending to their consideration whether they could not make some arrangement with the Clerks of Lieu tenantcy of their respective counties, of establishing generally that moderate amount of fees.

On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person ender the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow lig advantages, viz., I st. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum In case of death than under the ordinary system. Idly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, TIME times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the sante value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; n hereas on tile ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's meet), withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raises plicy to a greater or even .1s former amount ; and by this system he o can at nil times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the :targain of having a hind to fly to in case of necessity, the same as la a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that be gets Inte rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Deices he can do 'no such thine*, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to fly to for aid, all his hall-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which cau be eniversally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death,thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A RANK WITII THE BENEFITS OF' AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSI system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF Ttl IS COMPANY UNDER VIE ORDINARY LLF'R ASSURANCE BRANCH.

Mr. BAILLIE wished to ask the noble lord the mem ber for the city of London if it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill to deprive the New Zealand Company of certain moneys which the British Parliament had been induced to vote to them upon false representations.

MANNING THE NAVY. Sir G. TYLER asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he would place upon the table of the house the evidence upon which the report of naval officers on man ning the navy was founded ? Sir S. GRAHAM said, it was true certain naval officers were appointed by the Board of Admiralty to make certain inquiries, but those officers had no power to compel the attendance of witnesses. The evidence was given in pri vate, and the parties were not subject to cross-examina tion. ;Under these circumstances, it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government (as we understood) to act upon the report. FISCAL RELATIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Colonel DUNNE said, before the house went into com mittee on the income tax, he felt it his duty to call the at tention of the kelpie to the necessity of institutinc , a pre liminary inquiry as to the fiscal and political relations of Great Britain and Ireland, with a view to ascertain whether Ireland did not at the present moment bear her fair share of imperial taxation. There were various reasons why the house should grant the inquiry. First, there was very little knowledge among members of the house and in this country of the actual condition of Ireland, and he re gretted to say that it would be found that she had not prospered to the same same extent as England since the union. Secondly, no previous Chancellor of the Exche quer bad even attempted to extend to Ireland such an enormous additional weight of taxaticn. Thirdly, the pro position was a direct breach of the articles of union be tween the two countries. He did not ask the house not to extend her fair share of taxation to Ireland, but he asked them to extend it only in the legal and proper way, and not to proceed in a manner quite contrary to the Act of Union because they had a majority of the house with them. (Hear, hear.) By the act, or, as it was termed in the statute itself, " the treaty between the two coun tries," it was settled that its provisions should be per petual, and they bound the house now as much as when the act was passed. The first article, relating to the fiscal arrangements of the two countries, declared that the pro portion of taxation to be borne by Ireland should be §-17ths of that of England, and a subsequent clause set forth several modes in which the revenue of- the country might be assessed—such as the relative value of exports and imports, and the consumption of spirits, malt, sugar, and such exciseable articles, &c. It was well known the treaty was extremely injurious to Ireland, and the burdens since laid on Ireland were much heavier than she could or ought to bear. The requirements of England and the wars in which she engaged, raised the taxation of Ireland year after year to an enormous amount. Nor had the expectations been realised of an increased colonial trade for the latter country, which many had indulged in at the time of the union. The whole debt of Ireland at the time of the union was 25,000,0001. In 1815 it had increased to (as we under stood) 125,000,0001. The revision of taxation and revenue provided for by the Act of Union at the end of every seven years never took place ; and in 1815 a motion was made for the consolidation of the two Exchequers of Ireland and England. Many persons imagined that act abrogated the Treaty of Union, but he denied that it did. It was a mere fiscal arrangement. He asserted, then, that according to the Act of Union at any time Ireland chose to call for the consideration of the taxation of the two countries she had a right to have her request granted, and that was never more necessary to be done than at the present moment, when she was threatened with this new tax. (Hear, hear.) Lord Fitzgerald showed in 1815 that Ireland had lost enormously up to that time by the ,nnion. If they refused the com mittee of inquiry for which he sought, they would abrogate the articles of the union, and give cause for fresh discon tent in Ireland. For years hon. gentlemen opposite had been speaking against the agitation for the repeal of the union. That agitation no longer existed. Did they wish to see an agitation to enforce the observance of the union ? Let them Lave equal taxation when Ireland was in the same state as England. She was worse off now than in past years—much worse off than at the time of the union. The loss caused by the terrible calamity which had occurred there in the last few years had been estimated at from 30,000,0001. to 33,000,0001. By a measure which was said to have produced great benefits to this country Ireland had lost upwards of 6,000,0001. more in the difference in the price of corn. Whatever advantage might have accrued to those who paid the poor rate, he maintained the loss was still to that extent so far as Ireland was concerned. In many respects Ireland was infinitely worse off than she was before the union. She had lost her manufactures, and she had suffered much from the absenteeism created by the attendance of Irish members of both houses in this country. Her surplus revenue was not spent within her own shores, but, on the contrary, on an average of 2,000,0001. was remitted to the exchequer of this country. The re venues of the Woods and Forests amounted to 61,0001. a year, which, with a very small exception, were sent over to this country. It appeared by the returns which had been laid before the house, and by other means of informa tion, that within the last 35 years no less than 282,000,0001 had been transmitted from Ireland to England, putting together the surplus revenue, the amount spent by absen tees, and the proceeds of the Woods and Forests. Here there were full reasons for granting this committee of in quiry. The only answer they could condescend to give was, that they had a majority of the house against it, but he had a better opinion of the English people than to think they would rely on such a reply to a fair demand. He asked nothing more than justice—nothing but a fair inquiry before they called on Ireland to bear increased taxation. It was said that Ireland would I receive an equivalent for the income tax in the ro mission of the consolidated annuities. This was to him an absurd argument, for what (lid the consolidated annui ties consist of ? They consisted of advances to Ireland which were administered by the English Government, and 1 so ill administered that Ireland received no benefit from 3 them. The Irish proprietors appealed to the highest tri bunal in the country, viz., to a committee of the House of Lords, who reported that those annuities were open to se rious objection. It was absurd, therefore, to say that the remission of that burden was a proper equivalent for the income tax. But, besides, he thought that considering the vast mass of landed property which had changed hands since those annuities were imposed, and which had been purchased at a reduced price in consequence of their y i n o n n , o w t h r e e r m e i w t t o i u n l g d h i n e n h a i s t opinion,all.
