'HARP, BLACK WALL, rains from tho Fenchurc THE CITY OF LONDON AND THE SEAT OF FASHION, 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 them." Why (it may be asked) is a constant trading communication kept up with the City, the suburbs and 'he provinces? Would this he the case 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 vindicatiff4 and establishing the reputation of the City London as the scat of fashion, by a successive display of seasonable attire not elsewhere to be met with. L. Ilyam maintains his high position by invariably selecting fl'om 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 class of costume. An inspection of the 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 London (as above asserted) is well upheld by L. Ilyam, who, in addition to superior style and quality in dress, en sures to purchasers the advantage of exceedingly moderate prices. OBSERVE I—L. lIYAM begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street, City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of bush uess carried on by L. IIYAM, where the public can be supplied with good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at such economical prices as must defy all competition. L. lIYAM, Tailor. Clothier, Hatter, Hosier, and General Outfitter 36, Gracechurch-street, City.

See pages 5 andfin detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Neison, Esq. On comparison of these two tables it will bo seen that a person tinder the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow og advantages, viz.. Ist. 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, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remairs still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease Iris current payments !or any number of years ; whereas on the ordin try system, ho gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increrse or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to the whole amount of his previous payments and withi interest. After be has withdrawn part one year he can, by a sh.tgle payment, three years, or any time afterwards, raise his policy 'to a greater or even its former amount; and by this system he can •at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the narg lin of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, tho same as la a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life 0 flices he can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the raoment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, ingtead of having any rand to fly to for aid, all his hat 'l-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 can be universally 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 BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantsiges of the DEPOSI system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDEIt THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCEI.

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 MALMESBURY gave notice that, on Friday, he would put a question to the Foreign Secre tary as to the negotiation going on between Russia and Turkey. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that on the Gth 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 bo 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 few words from Lord BROUGHAM and Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the subject dropped. INDIA.- TREATMENT OF THE NATIVES. Lord ELLENBOROUGH begged to know Nriether there was any objection to produce the proceedings of three courts-martial which had been held in India, on Mr. -, a lieutenant in one of therßengal 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' pay and put back several steps ; but he was still allowed, it would appear, to remain an officer of the ar my—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 for their European masters. (Hear, hear.) The house might be assured there was great danger in permitting 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 referred would be taken to answer for his offences before the Supreme Court, and if found guilty, which there seemed 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 home authorities anxious to do all in their power to protect the natives of India from cruelty, oppression, or other wrong, bad 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 bring word, if the offenee complained of had been proved, that the offender had been punished in pur suance of that regulation. (Hear, hear.) COMMON LODGING-HOUSES BILL. The bill passed through committee pro forma. 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 th e 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 committ ee on the subject should be appointed, and that its report should be considered before the biT.l was read a third time. Lord BEAITMONT 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 miserable. This was not a bill to prevent boys going up or descending chimneys ; for already, he was sorry to say, an act for that object had been passed, but it was a bill to prevent boys, he might almost call them young men, under the age of 16 from carrying a bag and a b r ush for the purpose 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, he 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 fe w more houses had been burnt than would have been other wise. He admitted that there was cruelty in forcin g children up ill-constructed chimneys, but that might be obviated by laws having reference to the construction of chimneys. He objected to this constant interference by the Legislature in alt matters of private trade, and he suggested that the bill should be reported that day si months. Lord PANMURE deemed it not unbecoming in that house to throw the shield-Ofits protection over infants not able to protect themselves. That had been done int 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 posed 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 th a t pro hibit e d the master sweeps from taking apprentices und er 16 years of age, the present bill was intended to guard ag ainst the evasion of the law by pre venting child r e n un d er 16 years of age being employe& in the chimney-sweeping business uncler the name or assistants, and being then forced into chimneys becausee the owners of the houses would not incur the trifling expense necessary for rendering the flues adapted t ee machine sweeping. He did not rega rd this as an in . fringement of the principle of free labour ; but he con ceived it to be just such a protection as their lordship were bound to throw round a class of persons who wer , too helpless to protect themselves. Lord ST. LEONARD'S thorght their lordships : should be careful not to adopt any course that might tend to de3troy the chimney-sweeping trade. It was a trade which they cou ld not do without, but at the sam, time every body must be desirous to remove any abuse: that were connected with it. As the law now stood, c hi mne y-sweeping by boys was not only prevented, but also cruelty to boys, and therefore to that extant the. case was provided for. He had been informed that; there were times when it was absolutely necessary to• send persons up chimneys to extricate the machines ; that even in that house, on occasions where the instru ment got up a chimney in which one flue communicated with another, it was impossible to extricate the machine without sending somebody up. (Hear, hear.) If a man was too large, then a boy must be sent up—not to sweep the chimney, but ,to extricate the machine. Now, I T the law, as it stood at this moment, a boy might. be sent up a chimney to extricate a machine, though it was unlawful to employ him in sweeping it ; but the bill of the noble earl proposed that nobody under 16 should be employed to assist a master chimney sweep within any house. (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 p ro d uce d a measure rea ll y calculated to remove the abuses that now existed, be would find no more earnest supporter than 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. lie, there fore, looked upon this as a useless piece of legislation. The noble earl (Paumure) said the law interfered for the protection of children. That was 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.) 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,"—thes e wor d s h av i ng 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 ho 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 th e ac t o f 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 being 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, these chimney doors would be universally use d, for here 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 explained, that ho 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 neß f u rnc r o t oAn h ßm e Dt r haEte i : n rp q iii ao u oli i nr d r c l t e , lopa a fy n ai d there ;mu, R E i n , fore which A f t thee the h reference e f 3 e s short e a o n r r c c e u ciwso of f l e d r s e c a a t A t i u s o x and the Earl of WicKLow participated, The bill was referred to a select committee.

Russell's Education Bill, to the effect that the assessment on persons under the bill should be reduced by the amount which they volun tarily contributed to schools in the town or borough in which they resided. DOCKYARD PATRONAGE-REPORT OF COMMITTEE. Lord SEYMOUR brought up the report of the com mittee appointed to inquire into the patronage of the Admiralty in regard to dockyards. 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 the circular sent to the sur veyors of dockyards on the 26th of September, 1849, was cancelled on the 19th ,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 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. 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. Mr. G. lIIIDSON presented a petition from shipown Drs at Sunderland, in favour of certain amendments in the Pilotage Bill. _ Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented petitions from Brad ford, Huddersfield, and the metropolis, against the oc cupation of Rome by the French troops. Mr. ALEX. HASTIE presented a petition from a place in Scotland in favour of the inspection of nunneries. Mr. MAGUIRE presented a petition from Dublin against the extension of the income tax to Ireland. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD presented a petition from Bir mingham, against the proposed alteration in the stamp duty on articles of clerkship. Mr. Sergeant SHEE presented a petition from Kil kenny, against the extension of the income tax to Ire land. Lord J. MANNERS presented a petition from Col chester against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. FEES ON COMMISSIONS IN THE MILITIA. In reply to Sir DE LACY EVANS, Lord PALMERSTON said that man y representations on the subject of the high charges mad , , by the clerks of the Lieutenantcy, fur the issue of comm issions in the mi litia. Officially he had no power in the matter ;it rested very much between the Lord - Lieuten ants of counties and their clerks ; but, finding that irt some counties, especially in Staffordshire and Wary ickshire, there was an uniform fee chraged of 1/. Is. for commis sions below the rank of captain, and 2/. 2s. for corn missions for officers of a superior rank —he had written to the Lord Lieutenants of I :ounties, recom mending to their consideration whet her they could not make some arrangement with the Clerks of Lieu tenalitcy of their respective counties, of establishing generally that moderate amount of fees. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE On the motion of Lord PAL= greed e r dequitable share of taxation, but they thought they had Bright to ask that that fair, just, and equitable taxation snould first be decided by a competent tribunal.' This was it t not the first time they h a d as k e d f or an i nqu i t e hoW the accounts between the two c oun tries really s a. When a motion of this kind was brought forward s k seal•B ago by the hon. member for Kilk enn y, the Governinba*f,,,,:„ •.,.e.-' that day did not condescend to answer hi m , and, probabTre.'''-- the present Government intended to follow a similar course • on the present occasion, and to content the mse l ves w ith strangling the question by votes. (Hear, hear.) He 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 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 Ireland, they would willingly and cheerfully submit to it. But if, op the other hand, it should 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. MACARTNEY had always thought that if there was a fair account taken as between the two countries Ireland could afford to pay the income tax ; but until that account was gone into the did not think it would be fair to impose that tax upon her. Mr. CONOLLY said, he should. not onlje lie inconsistent with his own profesiions in that house, but untrue to those who sent him there e if he did not take the earliest oppor tunitye of impre ss i ng on th e Government the absolute ueces- L i t x y lovfhigerheLweteinn,, went to to an vi i t n i q u u te iry ou b e of the Pl l a e e tt i nlaing noonlreland'artieleeof th a e union. and whi c h h e cons i dered as eminentlyn j uust. He thought he was also entitled to insist that the Government grounds should distin c tly p l ace b efore them the ' upon which they asked the house to extend the incom e tax to Ireland, for he must say th a t h e f e l t it was a personal indignity to the Irish memb ers t o h ave all their reclaznationsagainst this impost treated with silent contempt by the right hon. gentlemen on the other side, and that they should be over)borne by a majority, and a majority alone. (Hear, hear.) He maintained that on • the principle of self-interest, if upon no higher grounds, it was the business of the house and the solemn duty of the Government, as the g uardians of the State, to grant the inquity whi c h was now sought. He believed the late Sir Robert Peel was perfectly right in the opinion he had expressed that the income tax, if spplied to Ireland, would not pay the expenses of its col. lection. He could only toll 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 quer of England, he was satisfied, would not receive the slightest advantage from such an outrage. From motives sf high policy, the late Sir Robert Peel refused, in 1845, to extend the income tax to Ireland, but the state of Ire land at the present time was not nearly so prosperous as it was then. (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 enough from the burdens, local and imperial, which were thrown upon them, and they felt that any addition to those burdens was peculiarly unjust at the present time. Mr. WILKINSON said he thought, whatever Ireland might complain of, she certainly could not complain of the want of a fair attention on the part of that house. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He could only say, that since he had been a member of that house one-half of its time had been occupied in the discussion of I r i s h a ff a i rs . H e su pp ose d . 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 ? He wondered they did not feel some sense of humiliation in coming forward and suing, as it were in forma pauperis, asking exemption from one tax and another. For his own part, 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 would have been unnecessary for any Irish representatives to trouble that house on the subject of the fiscal arrange ments of their country. He understood that the object of the motion was to obtain the appointment of a committee who might inquire whether the terms upon which the union was established, and which brought Irish members into the house, had been strictly and fairly carried out with respect to the burdens of taxation borne by the two countries. He hoped the hon. member would not consider that, in doing his duty to his constituents, he was pleading for them in for mei pauperis. He (Lord C. Hamilton) thought it might be shown that the bargain made at the anion had not been quite fairly observed. In order to induce the Irish Parliament to waive its separate rights, Lord Castlereagh lad distinctly declared that Ireland should 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. Hamilton) thought, then, that Irish members had a MANNING THE NAVY. . right to ask whether, in this new framework of financial Sir G.
