►tement of the right hon. gentleman, inasmuch as it was tt iongbt by the officers of the company that this clause ;ast b stigma upon them. He need not remind the committee that in the war of Affghanistan the company's officers did themselves immense credit. (Hear, hear.) If the Govrn latent made more use of those officers they would find greater advantages derivable from their services. He thought that the company's officers had a right to complain of not being placed in more situations of 'importance, in which they could exhibit their talents. Mr. J. D. PHILLIMORE wished to know whether any arrangement had been made in respect to the Commander in-Chief being an ex officio member of the Government ? Mr. V. SMITH suggested that the clause should be made more intelligible, so as to remove all those doubts which had arisen respecting its meaning. The clause was then agreed to, as was also clause 29. On clause 30, Mr. HUME said that there was a question of great im portance to the whole of India, which he would wish to have answered. He wished to know whether the Govern ment intended to make any alteration in the regulations which regarded furlough ? Many able officers had fallen victims in consequence of not being allowed to come direct to England when in bad health. They were compelled to go to other parts of India which were often less healthy than the places they had left. Sir C. WOOD said that that was the very object of the clause. It proposed to remove those restrictions which at present prevented officers on leave of absence from ill health returning to England. Sir J. W. HOGG said that those restrictions did not arise from any regulations of the directors, but from the state of the existing law. Mr. T. BARING said all the witnesses asked was that the officers of the East India Company should be put on the same footing in this respect as the officers of her Ma jesty's troops. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought it was advisable to alter the system of paying in sicca rupees instead of com pany's rupees. Sir C. WOOD said the salaries were all paid in com pany's rupees. Mr. V. SMITH wished to know what salary was to be given to directors ; whether it was to be limited to the inadequate sum, 511. a-year, now proposed to be given? Sir C. WOOD said unless some hon. member proposed an increase of salary he could not do so of himself. But if an increase were propesed he would take it into considera tion. He was willing to make the salary 1,000/. a-year if the house should be of opinion it was advisable. After a few words from Mr. ELLIS, Lord STANLEY would suggest, as this was the only clause in the bill which dealt with salaries, and as reduc tions were to be made, he was surprised that no proposal to reduce the Governor-General's had been made. Mr. OTWAY was no friend to large reductions. He thought, however, it would be advisable to fix a sum for the Commander-in-Chief, which should include his trips to the hills and his salary. Sir C. WOOD thought it would not be advisable to adopt the suggestion. Mr. HUME said the Governor-General had all his expenses paid by the company if he moved about the country. vV Sir C. WOOD said this was not the case. The Governor- General gained nothing by his movements. Mr. HUME replied that the complaints from India on that head were unfounded if the right hon. gentleman was correct in his statement. The returns of expenses would show the fact, and those returns he should take an oppor tunity of moving for. Mr. OT WAY could assure the right hon. gentleman that the country did pay the expenses of the Governor -General's moving about. Ho knew that Governors-General profited considerably by these trips. The Commander-in-Chief was in the same condition. . . . — sT r C. WOOD did not state that uo expense was incur red by the Governor-General and —ommander-in-Chief moviu ,, about. - What he meant to say was that, personally and individually, those functionaries gained nothing. Mr. RICH hoped an opportunity would be afforded of 'baying a diswission on the salaries to be paid to the di rectors. Sir C. WOOD said an opportunity would be afforded when the salary clause was brought up. Mr. BRIGHT should not like to let the directors have the fixing of their own salar:es. He might give the house an instance, whi c h h e h a d from a friend of his, of the value of patronage to the directors. A gentleman had applied, through another, to a director for an appoint ment, which the director seemed willing to give, but his friend, in announcing it to him, said, " is not a rich man ; you are a men of business." " But," said the one to he appointed, " what do you mean by telling me I am a man of business?" "Oh ! you are a man of business," was the reply. The gentleman to be appointed then urged that he should have to go to the India-house, and make oath that he had not given, and should not give, anything in consideration for his appointment. He was met by the other saying, " These things are mere matter of form ; and you are a man of business." He, however, assured him that, though he might be a man of business, he was not a man of that sort of business ; and so he did not get the appointment. Somebody else did, who was more a man of business, and less scrupulous upon these points. (Hear, hear.) He also recollected a case of au artist of some celebrity, who, wishing to get a re l a t ive ofhis out to India, made a suggestson that some di rector might probably want a portrait of himself, of his wife, and his children, however ninny there might- be ; and he evidently thought that portraits of this kind might be compensation sufficient, and would be outside the law, to enable him to obtain an appointment to India. There was, in fact, no doubt that when we talked of patronage worth 10,0001. or 12,0001. a-year, though we do not mean that the directors actually pocketed so much, we did mean that by interchanging, and arrangements, and so on, there was a very large personal and family advantag e to th ese directors from this patronage. Indeed. it could only be on that ground that they had a salary so small as 3001. a-year. He did not believe so much in the patriotism of the gentlemen who sat there as to suppose that they gave the amount of time they said, and suffered the amount of anxiety under which they complained they laboured, for 3001. a year. Were they to continue this pa tronage, and was this patrona ge t o b e un d ers t oo d as a por tion the directors' claim? If so, he did not think the salary sheuld be higher than prupo,ied. And if the no minee director's salary was 1,0001. a year, an advance must, he supposed, be made on all. That would be 18,0001. a year, or, as the chairman and deputy-chairman had twice as much as their colleagues, 20,0001. ; and, considering that this bill increased the expenses altogether, and that the country was taxed most enormously, he thought that we ought not to add anything to the home expenses, unless we saw that we were giving India a solid advantage in re turn. He recommended the right hon. gentleman to de crease the number of directors, and then to consider the question of increasing the salaries of the remainder. Mr. BARING said that the honourable gentleman who had just sat down was a man of business, and, as a man of business, should not make statements which he could not substantiate. He himself was a man of busi ness, and he had not found, in his experience, that those who were most suspicious of others were most trustworthy themselves. (Hear.) The hon. gentleman did not there fore do himself, justice in indulging in these suspicions. The hon. member should not have treated this as a personal question, but should have confined himself to charges upon the mode of government, instead of making accusations against individuals. As to the question of salary, that was a question for the Government, and as every division had shown that they were all-powerful, they ought not to be chary in accepting or suggesting amendments which they thought really needed. Mr. Bright and Sir J. W. Hogg then rose together, and for some tines neither would give way ; until at length the manifestation of feeling on the part of the house becoming decidedly in favour of the latter gentleman, Mr. Bright gave way. Sir J. HOGG said it was very true that the honourable member had thqughout the whole of this discussion in dulged in personal observations, for which, however, he did not wish now to blame him. But when an honourable member made a statement casting imputations on any man, and made it of his own knowledge, that statement must, prima facie, be taken to be true and to be provable. He hoped the day never would come when any member might - rise in his place and make a charge against any gentleman, or any body of men, entrusted with power, and yet shrink from substantiating that charge. The hon. member had spoken, not generally, but in detail. He had spoken of some personal friend of his own—a friend who seemed to deal in the basest of all traffics. lie had spoken of a proposal base to the man who made it, base to the man to whom it was made. He had told them that somebody else had got that appointment—somebody who was a better man of business. He (Sir J. Hogg) called upon him now, as he hoped that in future his statements in that house would command belief, and credit, to state the name, the appoint. ment, and the director, whom, if these imputations against him were true, he ought to hold up to public scorn and disgrace- If the hon. member shrank from this, all that he had said of the directors would fall back upon himself. (Hear, hear.) He would state to the house some of the foundations on which these kinds of stories rested. When lie was chairman, some few years since, there were rumours respecting the distribution of patronage so generally circu lated, that he thought there must be some foundation for them. A secret committee sat, and over it he presided. Before that co mm i ttee came every' body who had the slight est imputation to cast on any director. The result was that they found gangs of swindlers had personated direc tors, and promised patronage. The different gangs were indicted, and, he thought, convicted, without exception. In one case there was a son seemingly appointed by the agency of his father who paid 1,2001. for the appointment. Owing to some unexpected circumstance er he went on one occasion straight to the real way introduced his subject. The dir, and in a roundabout ector denied any know ledge of the transaction, and the gentleman out a note purporting to be from the p ulled de recto ei -n , rh of course a forgery. In one of these gangs theeynfootindwaas tariff of appointments under Government, as as under the company—a tariff which went even to titles, and fixed the price of a peerage. On that occasion e able to cast any imputation against the directors did soy, and there was certainly one of their own body wh o a be implicated. He was indicted and con v i cted. l "ed to Raving stated these particulars, he again appealed to the h on rum her. He asked the house to co - operate with him inhis appeal to that hon. member to state the details, to state the i,e r sons, . to state the names, and to expose all engaged in that in famous transaction to the public scorn which they deserved. The hon. geatleru. an said that he believed it was admitted that although there was no money given, yet that the Court of Directors, by the exchange of appointments, or by some other arrangeme nt, received something for their patrona ge . Janice He (Sir Hogg) told the hon. gentleman that that statement was totally void of truth and foundation, and that, according to his standard of morality, any director who gave an appointment with any expectation, direct or indirect, proximate or remote, of any reward, emolument, favour, or interchange, anything in return- -either money, appointment, anything ee,e—a th lion he had made, basely perjured him . self, and basely be trayed the patronage which was coin h i e n h itted to him for the on. gentleman give public advantage. (Cheers.) Let t se the moues of those to whoiim lie alluded, and he (Sir J. W. Hogg) pledged himself that the Court of Directors would co-operate with him in exposing those who had been engaged in these infamous transactions. (Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT said it was quite plain that his statement had given rise to a display of much virtuous indignation. For instance, the hon. member for Huntingdon (Mr. T. Baring) had read him a lecture, though he had admitted the whole of his case, in saying that he considered that all their patronag e was a reason why the salaries should be as low as 500/. a year. of what he (Mr. Bright) hart beenWhy,that was the very pith saying (Oh, oh, and hear, hear.) Now to the house. , the hon. member for Honiton had applied to him for all the details of the case to which he had referred. He had, however, told that hon. baronet already that the narratve whiehhe ' laid b beifore the house had been communicated t o hi m b y a member House of Commons. (Name, na me , and Oh oh.)eof He would tell the hunee that such, nevertheless, wasth and he believed the circumstances to b e tinge, (Oh, "h, oh and Hear, hear.) The hon. member for ele e ie,,V , have the house believe that it was he (Mr. Bright) elZ w ill a d s the hest " man of business." No ; his friend was not the man snfUoiantky a man of business to enter into such transaction. He would not say that the person who had named the transaction was a friend of the hon. baronet, or any of the directors ; but he, at all events, knew the gentleman who refused to have anything to do with the transaction. (Oh, oh.) And still, notwithstanding all that had been said by the hon. baronet and others, he be lieved that such trafficking did take place, and he held the fact to be indi s p u t a bl e . (Oh , oh.) Indeed, he knew of no office open to such temptation as that of an East India director. He was not one of those who approved of all the patronage which devolved upon the Court of Directors ; on the contrary, he would deprive them of it, and give them salaries befitting their position. That was all he had to say on the matter. (Oh, oh.) It was all very well to cry "oh ;" but hon. gentlemen ought to remember that he was concerned with a district of this country which had suffered enormously from the misgovernment of India, and nothing, therefore, would ever deter him from de nouncing what he believed to be a corrupt and vicious system. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN here reminded the committee that the discussion going on had nothing whatever to do with the clause before it, which had reference entirely to the payment of general officers. On the question that clause 31, as amended, stand part of the bill, Mr. ELLIOT wished to know from the hon. member for Manchester whether he would have hon. gentlemen consider him as a party to the fraud referred to by refusing to give up the names of the parties implicated? Mr. BRIGHT—What I stated I stated upon the autho rity of a member of this house—(name, name)—and I will not name him. (Oh, oh.) Mr. MANGLES would put it to the house whether it was fair for any hon. gentleman to bring forward charges which he was unwilling to substantiate? (Hear, hear.) Cries of " Name, name," were then reiterated, but Mr. Bright sat unmoved. The clause, as amended, was then agreed to. On dance 32 being proposed, Mr. M. MILNES moved to leave out tke words, " the provisions hereinafter-mentioned respecting the admission of students into the college of the said company at Hailey bury (that is to say), sections 103, 104, 105, 106, and 107 of the said Act of the 3d and 4th years of King William the Fourth, shall be repealed." The question having been put, Sir C. WOOD said that the amendment applied only to although the observati ons o f th e h on. mem b er HileYhadahabdum n tre reference to Addiscombe. If, however, the hon. member chose to raise the question as regarded Hai leybury, he should not object to his doing so. It was not necessary for him to detain the committee on this point, as the speech of the right hon. gentleman the member for Edinburgh left nothing to be said with regard to it. All experience went to show that the persons who had distin guished themselves in early life were the persons who were afterwards found filling high and important situations in after years. He could not understand why they should not take all the means in their power for securing the best men for the service of India, and the hon. member had not shown that the throwing open of Haileybury was not the best mode. Mr. HUME said that the question was an important one. All were agreed that the present system had produced the best civil servants fur India, and yet it was proposed all at once to destroy it. He suggested that one-half of the can didates should be admitted on nomination and one-half on competition. The most ample testimony had been borne to the efficiency of the East India Company's officers, and he saw no reason why the educational estahlishments should be broken up. . Mr. M. MILNES said that what the committee required to know was, whether the natives of India were to be in cluded in the competition. Lord STANLEY observed that this question would come under consideration in the next and following clauses. This clause simply affirmed the principle of competition as against nomination, and, such being the case, he should vote for it. There were objections to the clause on the score of detail, to which he should hereafter draw attention. Sir C. WOOD would be willing to take the division on the amendment of the hon. member for Pontefract, and then report progress. Mr. V. SMITH, whilst indisposed to affirm the whole sale system of cowpetition supported by the right hou. member for Edinburgh, nevertheless recommended the hon. member for Pontefract to withdraw his motion. He wished to know whether, if the committee passed this clause, they could re-open the question with regard to Addiscombe, a question which he considered to be the most important part of the bill? Sir C. WOOD said he wished to keep Haileybury dis tinct from the other appointments. As the question was an important one he should be happy now to report progress. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved that the chairman re port progress. He thought the hon. member for Ponte fract had quite misunderstood the intentions of the Govern ment with regard to the military appointments, and it would be better ' to restate them at another sitting of the committee. Mr. OT WAY asked what restrictions it was intended to impose on admissions to Addiscombe ? In case of the Ben galees it would be necessary to impose efficient restrictions; for although they were an emasculate and effeminate race, they could, by a process of cramming in India, come over and render themselves eligible to pass the examination. Lcrd J. RUSSELL said it would bo better that the Government should state their intentions on this and other points on the following day. The committee was then adjourned until six o'clock to morrow (this day), and the house resumed. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL this bill was read a second time, on the understanding any debate on it was to take place in committee, which he fixed for Friday in next week. CUSTOMS AND STAMP ACTS RESOLUTIONS — ADVERTISEMENT DUTY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the report of the resolutions agreed to by the house on the Ist July be now received. He took the oppoitunity of saying that he should act upon the intention which Go vernment had formed, of deferring to .what they believed to be the wish of the real majority of the house in refer mice to the advertisement duty. (Cheers.) It was not necessary for him to enter into the reasons which had led them to that conclusion, believing that the man who made an unnecessary speech at that period of the evening was an enemy to his country. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. BRIGHT wished to ask when the advertisement duty would cease ? It was important this should beknown, and he had been applied to by several newspaper proprie tors on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was certainly of great importance that proprietors of newspapers should be relieved from uncertainty on this point as soon as possible, and he was afraid that some had unfortunately been misled by arguing hastily that the practice which the house pursued with respect to customs duties would apply to the duty in question, which was, in fact, entirely of a different character. He believed there was no precedent for making the remission of this duty follow immediately on the vote of that house. They should not lightly alter the established practice, but he saw no reason why the bill in which those resolutions were to be inserted should not become law by the end of next week, or, at least, by the beginning of the following week. Mr. NE WDEGATE asked if the resolutions now before the house included the tax upon supplements. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said no. The extension of the area of newspapers was provided for by a clause in the Stamp Duty (No. 2) Bill, which was postponed till after the other orders of the day. What he proposed in reference to that bill was to commit it, to in sert in it the resolutions now brought up, and to re-com mit the bill to-morrow (this day). The report was then agreed to. CUSTOMS, &c., ACTS. In committee on these acts, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the resolutions of which he had given notice, respecting the post-horse and hackney-carriage duties. With regard to the first, his proposal was to consolidate all the various duties now charged upon the keepers of post-horses and post-car riages, so as in future to render them liable to pay only one duty. The effect of this arrangement would be to make a reduction upon the aggregate amount of the duties to the extent of about 60,0001. a-year. He believed that, this proposal would give satisfaction to the parties inte rested. With respect to the hackney-carriage duties, he proposed that there should be an annual license for keeping, using, or hirinc , hackney carriages in the metropolis of 1/. The present system ' was not to levy an annual license, but to levy one license, for which 51. was paid. He might state, in addition, that the bill which he would require to bring forward would contain a provision to the effect that those who had already paid 5/. for their license should not be liable to begin to pay for an annual license until three years after the Ist of January next. When he first laid his financial measures before the house, he proposed that the weekly duty upon hackney carriages should be reduced from 10s. to 7s. He had since ascertained, however, that a considerable number of proprietors did not wish to use their carriages upon Sunday, and what he now proposed, therefore, was to charge 7s. upon those who ran their car riages seven days in the week, and 6s. upon those who ran theirs only six. (Hear, hear.) In reply to a question from Colonel BLAIR, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not intend to propose any change with regard to stage coaches. The retiolutiona were then agreed to. BETTING-HOUSES BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, Mr. MITRROUGH presented a petition against the bill from the keeper of a betting-office, who entreated that it should not be passed into law before the Newmarket Octo ber meeting, upon which a large sum of money had already been. staked. He further craved that his petition should be referred to a select committee, and that he might be al lowed to appear by counsel in support of its prayer. The reading of this petition caused considerable merri ment in the house, which was increased when the hon. and i :o areed m em b er s t a t e d, w ith grea t earnes t ness , th a t h e h a d , 'mpathy with its object. The bill was postponed till to-morrow (this day). law OF EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL. On the motionlip-,wlu,ror going into committee on this bill, went of the law o DE said he did not object to the amend f evidence, but it was with inexpressible astonishment h e r e in troduced int o this b ill without several most important clauses in rithout a w o rd of ex pl ana ti on f rom the Attorney-General, though they had no connection what ever with the avowedhu object an o d f the measure. The object of the bill war; to enable might, ii i and wives to be examined in cases in which they ap e pen to be parties ; but the very first clause provided tha ta t l A cin rson f s who entertained con scientious objections to the an oath should be per mitted to giye an rmation ill o ea(1, thus overturnii, a when tt the bill would be recent decision of the house. R e t ere would be an postponed till some future day, opportunity of fully discussing its details. The ATTORNEY - GENERAL said, at that .se, r (one o'clock) he had no ob j ection t o accede to the re hour Teest of the honourable and learned member, th0..2, considered that the main fea tures of this IL had l thene fally and elaborately disonssed in the report recently mad , by the Common Law Commissioners, and had met with the approval of the highest legal authorities in the other house, he was surprised that they should have been opposed by anybody acquainted with the present law of evidence. With respect to the new clauses to which the honourable and learned gentleman had referred, they originally formed part of a bill introduced into the other house; but as it was considered impossible that that bill could pass this session, he had deemed it advisable to insert them in the present bill, they having received the sanction of the dis tinguished legal authorities in the House of Lords. He f Would endeavour to procure a morning sitting for the dis- I eussion of the bill, and with that view would postpone it till Monday. PATRONAGE EXCHANGE BILL. This bill passed through committee. The Colonial Bishops Act Extension Bill went through committee. LAND TAX REDEMPTION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and t 12.1 various clauses were agreed to. NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTIES BILL. This bill passed ihrough committee pro forma. HIGHWAY RATES BILL. This bill passed through committee. TURNPIKE TRUSTS ARRANGEMENTS BILL. This bill passed through committee. TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE, &c., BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, when Mr. FREWEN said he wished to move an addition tat clause for the purpose of relieving districts where the co tu niissioners of turnpike roads had placed an excessive nu tu ber of toll-gates, in order to exempt the parts of t country where they themselves resided. Thecommission ers often took care to keep all the turnpike gates away fr om their own neighbourhood—(a laugh)—and inflicted gr , eat injustice upon other parts of the district ; and the obj act of his clause, therefore, was to restrict the number of tc ►ll gates within certain specified distances. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the hon. gent le-- man would postpone his clause till the bringing up of t lie report. FREWEN assented, and the bill passed thron gh committee. SHEEP, &c., CONTAGIOUS DISEASES PREVE TION BILL. This bill passed through committee. PUBLIC WORKS ACTS AMENDMENT (IRELAN D: BILL. Sir J. YOUNG moved the second reading of this b ill, the objects of which were—first, to enable grand juries to borrow money from private parties for constructing ro: ids and other public works ; secondly, to transfer cert kin piers to the grand juries, with power to levy tolls for keeping them in repair ; and, thirdly, to transfer 3ne , thousand miles of road from the central authority ( the. Board of Works) to the local authority, namely, to the, counties to which the roads in question belonged. 1 his would place no additional burden upon the counties ; and he, therefore, calculated upon receiving the suppor t. of hon. gentlemen who opposed centralisation. Lord NAAS said that the grand juries were abou t to have an entirely new power given to them, and he thor tult it would be advisable to put in the bill some additi o nal safeguard. so that all their proceedings might be well known in every county. Mr. F. SCULLY thought this important power ah , ould not be given to grand juries unless those bodies were i re modelled and made to represent the ratepayers. Mr. WHITESIDE inquired whether, if the col anty should be willing to do a certain work, and the sury eyor should have the misfortune to be of a different opin Ulan, that work could be carried out? Sir J. YOUNG said he fancied it could not. Sir R. FERGUSON would feel it to be his duty to op pose those clauses of the bill giving power to the Boar til of Works in reference to piers and harbours. Mr. V. SCULLY said that this bill would be the m cans of showing the present defective constitution of g rand juries ; for it would lead to such abuses that the f iscal powers of those bodies would have to be transferred b, More long to bodies of ratepayers. Mr. FRE WEN ssid that there was no county in Ire land with which he was not intimately acquainted, and ha d no hesitation in saying the act of 1836, relating to grandju ries, had worked well in that country ; and if it worked we 11 in Ireland, surely it must be an exceedingly good act. (A laugh.) If county boards were established, as had 1 been suggested, the result would be that presentments w ould be passel for building Roman Catholic chapels or st true thing of that description. (Oh, oh.) The bill was then read a second time. CONSOLIDATED ANNUITIES (IRELAND) 811 ;L. The house went into committee on this bill. The Consolidated Annuities (Ireland) Bill went throq igh committee. The Dublin Parliamentary Registration Bill was read 1 a third time and passed. The Public Libraries (Ireland) Bill was read a thj rd time and passed. The Burials (beyond the Metropolis) Bill was read a second time. Mr. PETO in reference to this bill, called the attenti on of the house to the way in which the rector of St. Gii€ s's was affected by the closing of the burial-ground of I is parish. The reverend gentleman had left a parish wog th 6001. a year to come to St. Giles's, but the closing of 1 h e burial-ground had reduced the value of his present living from 9601. to 2601. a year. When he told the house - LI tat the reverend gentleman employed three curates, and ti tat he was liked both by Churchmen and Dissenters—(thee rs) -they would see that every consideration which coule be i shown to the reverend gentleman would be afforderd to him. (Hear, hear.) The Consolidated Annuities (Ireland) Bill was readl the second time. The Employment of Children in Factories Bill was. read the second time. STRANGERS AND DIVISIONS. Mr. MUNTZ moved the consideration of the repo] . t of the committee upon strangers and divisions, and pi •op , osed that Mr. Speaker take measures to have the reso luiLions agreed to by the committee carried into effect. Mr. S. HERBERT suggested the postponement of the subject at so late an hour (ten minutes past two). Mr. MUNTZ said the notice had been for some i lime on the paper, and the object was perfeetly well under tstiood ; but he would consent to postpone it, if the Gove - rninent would give him a day for its consideration. After some discussion, the debate was adjour fled. till Thursday. CRIME AND OUTRAGE PREVENTION ACT (IRELAND). Sir J. YOUNG moved for leave to bring in a bill to continue the act 15th and 16th Vict., c. 66 (the Cri hue and Outrage Prevention Act) until the 31st day of kugust, 1854- Mr. MAGITIRE opposed the motion. The house divided, and the numbers were— . 381. For the motion Against it Majority Leave was therefore given to bring in the bill. CROWN SUITS. - -32 The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for and obtained leave to bring in a bill for the amendment of the, proce dure and practice in Crown suits in the Court of .Exche quer, and for the payment of costs in proceeding 3 insti tuted on behalf of the Crown. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. Mr. WILSON moved for and obtained leave tqo bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to friendly sod eities. CUSTOMS DUTIES. Mr. WILSON also moved for and obtained I enve to bring in a bill to repeal certain laws relating to rthendly societies. The remaining orders were disposed of, and then house adjourned at half-past two o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION& HOUSE OF COMMONS.-JULY 21.

CUANGING THE NAME OP A LIVERPOOL DOCK.—Yes terday at the weekly meeting of the Liverpool Dock Committee, M r . Th omas Bold, one of the most violent of th e T ory party of that borough, made a motion for the chang e of the name of the " Bramley _Moore" dock to that of "S e f ton, " owing to Mr. Bromley Moore having opposed Mr. Liddell at the last election for that borough. After considerable discussion, Mr. Bold felt himself compelled to withdraw his motion. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS--(TIIIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the wool sack at five o'clock. The Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway ; the Llanelly Railway and Dock (No. 2) ; the London and North-Western (Oldham Branch); and the Limerick and Foynes Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from the Metropolitan Law Association, complaining of inequalities in the Stamp Act, and praying that they might be revised. _ ENTAILS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was passed through committee. SUCCESSION DUTY BILL. The Earl of ABERDEEN moved the second reading of this bill, which he said had occcupied the attention of the other house for a considerable time, where it under went great revision, and was finally sent up to their lordships by a considerable majority. The Government were induced to propose this tax for the purpose of enabling them to remit many heavy taxes provision for the ultimate repeal of the tax upon in that pressed heavily upon the people, and to make future comes. The Government had at the same time done their best to remove some of the inequalities of this lat ter tax ; but the greatest inducement for passing this bill was the sense of injustice which was felt by the people, that while personal property paid the legacy and probate duties, real property was altogether exempt . from such a tax. Mr. Pitt once attempted to pass such a tax as this, but he did not succeed, and no minister had since repeated the attempt until his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer hazarded the proposal. The glaring in equalities that at present existed in the law was a remnant of the feudal times ; but the time had gone by when the poor man who succeeded to a legacy of 1001. should be required to pay 101. of it to the State, while the man who succeeded to an estate of 100,000/. went scot free. It was, therefore, proposed that every species of succession should be taxed equally with personal property. They had heard a good deal of late against this measure, and the alleged injustice of this measure, but upon examining the peti tions of both houses, he found that no public disappro bation had been expressed through that medium, but he understood that no oppopition was to be offered to the second reading of the bill, and he was therefore relieved from going at any length into its defence. The noble earl then proceeded to explain the pro visions of the bill in detail, which must be familiar to the reader, and concluded by moving the second read ing of the bill. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of DERBY rose and announced his inten tion not to oppose the second reading, but to reserve his objections for the committee on the bill. He believed this measure was the corner stone and foun dation of the budget, and by this measure the whole financial scheme of the Government must be tested. Now he contended that however important this bill might be in a monetary point of view, it was based upon injustice and spoliation. It was retrospective as well as prospective, and conse quently it would inflict a tax upon settlements that were made in times when no such a tax as this was contemplated. No Minister had ever attempted to obtain a surplus by such unjust means, and he hoped the measure would be severely dealt with in committee. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Pemberton Leigh's Estate Bill was read a third time and passed. The Galway Harbour Bill was considered, and ordered to be read a third time. Ward Jackson's Estate Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. DOCKYARD APPOINTMENTS. Lord SEYMOUR brought up the report upon Dock yard Appointments, which was ordered to be printed. LETTER CARRIERS. Lord R. GROSVENOR presented a petition from the Metropolitan letter carriers, praying the house to take their condition into consideration, with a view to increasing their salaries. TENANT COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, com mencing with clause 9. Clause 9 was agreed to. On clause 10, which provides that an evicted tenant shall have power to recover compensation from the land lord for improvements which he has registered, Colonel GREVILLE moved an amendment, to insert the word "wilful', to provide that the eviction should be for wilful neglect. After considerable discussion, the committee divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment 67 Against it B5 Majority —lB The clause was then agreed to, as were also clauses 11, 12, and 13. On clause 14, Mr. GROGAN proposed an amendment to limit the time of compensation to ten years. The committee then divided For the amendment...- Against it ... . 87 Majority —4s Lord C. HAMILTON moved the insertion of words to limit the sum of compensation to four years of the annual rent of the building. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 52 Against it 77 Majority —2s Sir J. WALSH should feel it his duty to divide the committee upon the clause, because it was objectionable in principle, and could not be improved by any modifi cation. He considered the effect of it would be to in crease litigation between landlord and tenant in Ireland, and to neutralise all the good which might be produced by the bill. Mr. CONOLLY believed that the bill had been drawn up in order to set class against class in Ireland. Who, he asked, would purchase property in that country if it was subject to such restrictions ? Mr. DRUMMOND said the very reason the bill was introduced was that the tenant and landlord in Ireland were at variance. He considered the clause was the very essence of the bill. It was as good as could he drawn up to meet an unfortunate state of things, and he should give it his support. After some further discussion the committee divided on the clause, when there appeared— For the clause Against it Majority . 103 . 44 . --59 The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses and schedules were then agreed to after a desultory conversation, in the course of which Mr. Napier was complimented for the ability and energy he had displayed in regard to the bill, both in the select committee and in the committee of the whole house. Mr. V. SCULLY moved the insertion of the follow ing clause after clause 16 :—" Any judgment or decree obtained under this act, in respect of compensation for improvements executed by any tenant who has been evicted from, or put out of, possession of his holding, shall be the first charge thereon ; and, in default of pay ment within the time limited by the court in that be half, shall entitle the tenant to go forthwith into actual possession, or into receipt of the rents and profits of such holding as mortgagee thereof, and to continue in possession or receipt until fully paid off, with interest and costs." The committee divided, and the clause was rejected by a inaj6rity of 91—the numbers being 25 and 116. The house then resumed, and the bill was ordered to be reported on Monday. CAVAN ELECTION. The SPRAKRR intimated that he had been informed GENERAL SIR JOSEPH THACKWELL, G. C. B.—This distinguished officer arrived in our (Cork) harbour yes terday, per the Sabrina. As the steamer passed along the coast, bonfires blazed on the hills, at Roche's Tower, ofthe Light-house,39thßegiment, e a g n i d me C nz wrlislielicFhorste.rveTdhe detach mentwith hthe gallant General in India, assembled on the ramparts of Carlisle Fort, the flag was lowered as he passed, and the people cheered enthusiastically. At Queenstown the ships, dressed out in their flags, looked gay and beauti ful. On the steamer's approach, the Admiral's barge shot alongside, under command of the flag-lieutenant, and took Sir Joseph on board. As he left the steamer the crew and passengers gave several hearty cheers, which he duly acknowledged, and on reaching the Admirai's yacht it immediately steered for Whitegate, from whence he proceeded to Captain Roche's of Ballymonis. The people assembled in large numbers to give him a cordial greeting. The road leading to Captain Roche's gate was lined with laurel branches and spanned with tri umphal arches. In the evening tar-barrels were burned and the village illuminated looked gay and well from the water.— C».k Examiner. CONSECRATCON OF A NEW CLIURCII NEAR HOLTWELI„ --A new church, designed to supply the place of ow' erected some tithe since by Lord Fielding, at Pantasa, and afterwards alienated from the Establishment on his conversion to the Church of Rome, was consecrated on Monday by the Bishop of St. Asaph. that it.waif not intended to proceed with the petition. against the return for the borough of Cavan. PILOTAGE BILL The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. CARDWELL explained that the Government had made arrangements, founded on the calculations of an actuary, to give every person dependent upon the fund of the Cinque Port Pilots, the same benefit that he would have had if the fund had not been abolished. The Government proposed to transfer the trust to the Trinity House, to be administered by them in the same way as heretofore, subject to the control of the Board of Trade. He considered this was a just and equitable settlement of a complicated question. Mr. JAS. MACGREGOR objected to the proposal of the Government, on the ground that it would have the effect of diminishing the amount which these pilots were now entitled to on superannuation, from 501. to about 301. a-year. They were a most meritorious body of men, and he considered they were well entitled to the indulgence of the committee. Mr. HENLEY was of opinion that so meritorious a body should be dealt with liberally. Clauses 1,2, 3,4, 5,6, and 7 were agreed to. It being four o'clock, the house adjourned. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.] . 1 .2 3 THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) DOWNING-STREET, JULY 18.
