OPENING OF TIIE NEW YORK IMPERIAL PARIAA.ME. T. EXHIBITION. The New York Crystal Palace was opened on the 14th inst., in presence of an immense assembly. The HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) President and General Scott were present. No event had created so general and so profound an interest in the public mind as this ceremonial. The whole city was alive with the interest and excitement which the event occasioned. The ceremonies attending the arrival and public reception of the President of the United. States, attracted the attention of the lower part of the town throughout the early part of the day.. The streets were thronged with eager spectators, anxious to catch a glimpse of the procession by which he was to be escorted to the Crystal Palace. An immense tide of travel tended towards that building the whole forenoon. The Sixth-avenue cars ran once a minute, each car crowded to its utmost capacity. The stages running to the vicinity of the building were also densely filled. At an early hour the Palace was besieged by appli cants for admission. Stern officials guarded the en trances, and informed all who came that untillo o'clock none but exhibitors would be admitted. At 10, how- Their lordships met at five o'clock. The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented several petitions from places in Scotland, praying for an increase in the number of parochial schools in that country, and for an augmentation of the salaries of parochial school masters ; also, petitions against University tests, and against the Sheriffs' Courts (Scotland) Bill ; and one petition praying for an alteration of the law respecting marriages in the colonies. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from a place in Cheshire, in favour of the im portation of salt into India on the same terms as other articles of merchandise. The noble lord said he dissented altogether from the prayer of the petition, on the ground that what was asked for would be an unwar rantable interference with the financial arrangements of the Indian Government. ever, the jealous gates unclosed, and red, and yellow, and white, and blue invitations poured in at the differ- ent entrances. The throng, even then, was excessive. The omnibuses, the cars, the hackney coaches, all poured forth their live freight at Forty-second-street, and ladies and gentlemen, at every degree of temperature, ascended the stairs that led to the interior. -- Within the Palace was even more imposing. Thor waldsen's noble series of " Christ and his Apostles," in the Danish section, attracted much deserved attention. Bright banners flaunted from the galleries—suits of old armour, from the Tower of London, frowned grimly on the scene, as if the spirit of antiquity was wroth within them at the contrast between our days, bright with in tellectual progress, and those old benighted times in which they saw service. And over all, the great dome stretched its painted canopy, joining together the diverg ing naves, as the building itself drew together widely differing nations. The palace filled rapidly. At the intersections of the naves, and all beneath the dome, the floor was soon parti-coloured as a garden with brilliant bonnets and silks. The platform in the north nave, which was to be the great scene of interest for the day, began about this time to be animated. Members of the Senate, guests invited by special request, militia officers, and the president of the Crystal Palace, with his official staff, and a host of other persons too distinguished to be well known, made their appearance on the boards. The Exhibition was attended by men of all parties, classes, and creeds. Bishop Wainwright, who offered the opening prayer, being supported by the Roman Catholic Archbishop Hughes, Mr. Prescott, the histo rian, Sir Charles Lyell, and Lady Ellesmere and daughter, occupied positions near the platform. Lord Ellesmere, who reached the city at an early hour in the morning, having come express from Quebec on purpose to attend the inauguration, was confined to his room by a severe attack of the gout. Professor Wil son, Mr. C. Wentworth Dilke, Mr. Duncan, and the other gentlemen of the Royal Commission, were also upon the platform. After the prayer, a choral, com posed for the occasion, was sung to the tune of " Old Hundred," by the New York Sacred Harmonic Society, accompanied by the National Grand Band, and members of other societies and the organ. Mr. SEDGWICK, the President of the Association, ad dressed the chief magistrate in a long speech. The PRESIDENT of the United States rose to reply, and was received with loud applause. After this had somewhat subsided, he spoke as follows :- -Sir, I return you, on behalf of those of my constitutional advisers who are with me, and on my own account, my warm and cordial thanks for the reception you have been pleased to extend to us. I have come, sir, to testify the interest I feel in, and the respect I entertain for, this great industrial exhibition—designed and calculated to promote all that belongs to the interests of our country. You, sir, and the gentlemen who have been and are associated with you, have imposed upon all of us a deep debt of gratitude for your energy and perseverance in this great enterprise. Whatever the shortcomings of which you have spoken may be, I can only remark that they do not appear here ; and so far as I have been able to perceive, they are lost in your complete and trans cendant success. (Loud and continued applause.) Everything around us reminds us that we live in an utilitarian age, where science, instead of being locked up for the admiration of the world, has become tributary to the arts, manufactures, agriculture, and all that goes to promote our domestic comforts and our universal prosperity. Sir, if you had achieved no otter good but that which you have in bringing together in this metro polis citizens from all 'ots of the Union, you would have fulfilled, perhaps, one of the most important of missions—that of strengthening and perpetuating that blessed Union. (Great applause.) But you have done more, and you have nobly alluded to it. Your Exhibi tion has been the means of bringing here, from all the civilised countries on the face of the globe, men most emi nent in all the walks of life ; and thus you have done more than could be done in almost any other manner to promote that great object dear to you, dear to me, and dear to my venerable friend near me (Bishop Wain wright), peace and good will among men. (Applause.) I have not the voice at this time to address you at any greater length, and conclude by again returning to you my thanks for your generous reception, and tendering my heart's best wishes for the success of your praise worthy enterprise. (Applause.) The President during his remarks was once or twice interrupted by applause, and on resuming his seat was greeted with six tremendous cheers. Three cheers were also given for .Theodore Sedgwick. Then the organ again pealed forth the Hallelujah Chorus, from Handel's " Messiah," followed by the Triumphal March by Ferd. Ries, and a chorus from Haydn's " Creation." The ceremonies concluded, those on the platform threw off all official ceremony, and conversed together in groups on the great event of the day, while those in the galleries and naves wandered round the building to feast their eyes upon such stores as were yet visible. The President retired to one of the offices in company with Mr. Sedgwick. Being informed that General Scott was in the Palace, the President sent his respectful re gards to him and requested to see him. General Scott instantly called upon the President, and a very pleasant interview took place between the distinguished gentle men. M. de Sartiges, Minister from France, Senor Al monte, Minister from Mexico, Baron Girolt, Minister from Prussia, and Senor Molina, Minister from Costa Rica, also called upon the President at the Palace and paid their respects. . Thus, says the New York Times, waned the day in the interior of the Crystal Palace—a day hallowed in Ame rican history as connected with an event of rare impor tance to the nation—a day on which the energy and perseverance of a few high-spirited individuals was crowned with success—a day pregnant with promise to our industrial world. And though the sun that glittered through the Palace panes soon sunk below the west, and though the cold, blue night speedily fell on the dome warmed with the noon-day heat, that sun of American industrial splendour which rose to-day shall never set, but shine like the arctic luminary, ever above the horizon.

THE METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—Yes terday a return respecting the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers, made on a somewhat novel principle (ob tained by Sir B. Hall), was printed. The novelty of the return consists in certain questions being put to obtain the information sought. The first question put is, what is the amount of debt and, liabilities due from the commissioners at the present time ? and the answer is, 174,186/. Os. id., to meet which the assets are 155,5981. 18s. 4d. From other interrogatories it appe ars that the increase of the d ebt an d liabilities since the Passing of the act, in 1851, is 30,131/. 13s. 3d., to meet which the increased assets , durin g t he same priod, are 77,316/. 2s. 4cl. Since th e act of 1851, the rat es , l oan s, and contributions have amounted to 2 68,507/. 19s. 10d. , of which 1751. has been exp ended in re ducing liabilities, and 144,5631. 9s. Gd. expended in new works. Certain works on the north side and south side of the Thames are intended to be executed with respect to sewers, at an estimated expense of 567,8401., a nd the sum of 400,0001. is proposed to be raised by mortgage of the rates. The difference between the estimate of 567,8401. and the 400,0001. to be raised is intended to be pro vided for out of the income.- It is not proposed to in crease the rates. The rate of 6d. in the pound, now authorised, will produce 216,370 1 . The annual value of the property on which a rate can be levied is 9,166,9801. THE STOCKPORT TURN-0E78.--n is with considerable pleasure that we hear of a probability of this unfortunate dispute terminating at no distant period. The firm of Bradley and Fernley, of the Higher Hillgate Mill, hav ing consented to give the advance to the spinners card room hands and throstle-spinners, they resumed work early in the week, and on Thursday morning the wea vers went in, having made a satisfactory arrangement. The hands of Messrs. Leigh and Sons, spinners of Portwood, are again at work, having accepted the terms offered by their employers. The pinch upon the turn-outs having made them unable to:meet their weekly payments for rent, Mr. Coppock, solicitor, of Stock port, and others, have made an offer of their services a s abitrators, in order to conclude a dispute which they feel as owners of cottage property-. The operatives do not seem to have confidence in Air. Coppock, but the masters have, and are willing to consent to the mode of settling the dispute which he proposes. The subscrip tions for the benefit of the operatives from the inhabit ants of the borough and the working classes of the sur rounding districts now poor in well, rind as the number of bands to be red is less, the "dividend " increases in amount. About 4,000 of the turn-outs went to the parish church on Sunday afternoon, where a sermon was preached to them by the Rev. J. H. C. Wright, the curate, frow Proverbs xxii., 2.

CASE OF PHILLIPS, THE CABMAN. Lord D. STUART took the opportunity of putting a question to the noble lord at the head of the Home Depart ment with respect to • a case which had already been men tioned in that house, but which excited a great deal of in terest out . of doers, and respecting which he did not think any satisfactory explination had • been given, —he alluded to the decision Of a' Bow-street magistrate last week in reference to a cabman. He thought i t right to ask for some further information about the matter, because it would really appear, from what was stated in the news papers, that, notwithstanding the explanation given by the noble lord, some considerable amount of injustice had been done to a roar man not having the means of defending him self. Upon a fornaer.occasion the .noble lord, after inquiry, made a statement which had the effect of impugning the correctness of the .report of the .case which had appeared in the newspapers. That report stated, that the magi strate offering to have the disputed distance measured, upon each party depositing 5a., the cabman said that he had not had, on the day when the dispute arose, any fare before that respecting which there was a difference, and that he had not a shilling in his pocket; whereupon the magistrate remarked, that as he could not put down the sum requisite for the measurement of the distance, he should take the statement of the gentleman who hired the cab as evidence that the driver had charged more than he ought, and sentenced the driver to pay a line of forty shillings, and:in default of payment, to be com mitted to prison. Of course, as the cabman had not five shillings, he could not pay forty shillings, and was actually sent to prison, the horse and cab being taken to tho green yard ! The noble lord, in his explanation, stated that it was by no means in consequence of the cabman not being able to deposit the five shillings that the magistrate came to his decision, but because the cabman altogether repudiated the settlement of the dispute by measurement. Since that explanation there had appeared in the newspapers two statements—one by the cabman himself, who said that, having been lent money by his friends, he had paid the fine, and got out of prison ; that he had had the distance, measured, and that it appeared that, so far from his having charged more than he ought, he had actually charged a great deal less ; and the other from the gentleman who re ported the case at Bow-street, who maintained that the words he attributed to the magistrate were actually pro nounced by him ; and he added that he was as sure of that circumstance as he was of his own existence. Now, if it should really appear that this unfortunate cabman had been fined 40s. and deprived of his liberty for a certain space of time, not for charging more than ho ought, but actually for charging less, he thought the house would bo of opinion that a very great degree of injustice had been done. (Hear, hear.) The public at large took a very strong view of thi s case , an d h e b e li eve d there was no person who did not think that that unfortunate cab man was ill-treated, and did not lament the decision to which the magistrate came. (Hear, hear.) Ho was the more induced to notice the case,- because he had heard in more than one puarter that the interest occasioned by it had more than anything else, perhaps, led the cab proprietors to take the most unfortunate step which they had just adopted, though he confessed he did not compre hend the logic that, because a cabman had been ill-treated, therefore the cab proprietors should take illegitimato and unjustifiable means to obtain greater remuneration than the Legislature allowed them. On the other hand, hand, their conduct constituted no reason why the unfor tunate cabman in question, who was no party to the strike, should not, if ho had been wronged, have his wrong re dressed and his case considered, and he therefore asked the noble lord whether, on considering the case, he really was of opinion that the magistrate came to a right decision, and whether he had taken means to ascertain the distance travelled over? Lord PALMERSTON said that if he had had notice of the question he would have come down to the house with the same document he had brought the other day. The facts of the case, as stated to him by the magistrate, were, that the person who hired the cab came before him with the cabman to complain of an overcharge by the latter. The complainant mentioned the point from which he started, the road he took, and the point where the journey ended. The magistrate stated that, from his knowledge of the ground, he was satisfied that the charge of the cabman was excessive, and was therefore prepared to fine him for overcharge ; but the magistrate first offered to have the distance measured. It was the rule that when a measure ment took place each person should deposit 55., to abide the issue of the measurement. The magistrate stated that the cabman declined the measurement, but did not under stand that he declined it on the ground of not having the ss. to lay down, but that he declined it generally, because he did not wish to have the measurement made, and upon that the magistrate fined the cabman for overcharge. It did not appear that the magistrate was wrong in his deci sion. He (Lord Palmerston) had looked at the map of Loudon, and with a pair of compasses had measured the same distance—(a laugh)—and it appeared to him that the distance was not greater than that which the person who hired the cab was ready to pay. THE CENSUS. Mr. HUME inquired whether the Government was pre pared to sanction the issue of some 20,000 or 30,000 copies of the abstract which had been published of the census ? Lord PALMERSTON replied that the typo had been distributed, but the Registrar-General had informed him that in the course of the autumn it was his intention to make a selection of the most important tables for general circulation, including those relating to age, occupation, birthplace, condition in respect of marriage, religious per suasion--in short, all those matters which his hon. friend very properly thought of great importance ; and that in formation would be published in a cheap form. THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Mr. J. BALL wished to ask the hon. baronet the mem ber for the University of Oxford whether the trustees of the British Museum had authorised the preparation of a descriptive catalogue of British medals ; and, if so, by what authority that work had been withheld from publi cation, and upon what grounds? It was with a view to the public interest only that he put the question, having no acquaintance with any gentleman who had been en gaged in making that catalogue. Sir It.. INGLIS replied, that he believed the trustees of the British Museum did authorise the preparation of a cata logue and description of the coins and medals connected with British history in their custody. The work had been suspended for more than one reason. In the first place, it contained a catalogue not only of coins in the British Mu seum, but of others not there. It could not, therefore, be described as a catalogue of the British Museum. Another reason, however, induced the suspension of the work, which was, that it was accompanied and interfused with such observations as, to say the least of it, were not neces sarily connected with numismatics. THE DISMISSED INDIAN JUDGES. Mr. BLACKETT called the attention of the President of the Board of Control to certain observations which had fallen from him a few evenings since, in which he was re ported to have said, with reference to the dismissed judges of Bombay, that one of them, Mr. Gregor Grant, "had pursued a course of conduct which was scandalous." He wished to know whether the right hon. gentleman had really used such words, and also, whether he had received any communication or application since that time from Mr. Grant ? Sir C. WOOD (who spoke in a low tone of voice, and with his back - to the gallery) denied that those words had been used by him. What he did say was, that Mr. Grant " had pursued a course' of conduct which, as he feared had been the case, had been the cause of a great deal of scandal." He was not aware that any application had been received from Mr. Grant. MR. MAGAN AND COLONEL DUNNE. The SPEAKER then called upon Mr. Megan, who had placed upon the paper a motion of his intention to do so, " to make a statement relative to correspondence which has taken place between the Duke of Newcastle and Colonel Dunne." Mr. MAGAN rose accordingly, and addressing Colonel Dunne, who was sitting near him, said, " Perhaps my hon. and gallant friend will save me the trouble of making a statement, by explaining to the house that he had been misled." Colonel DUN NE not responding to this appeal, other wise than by touching hie hat, Mr. MAGAN proceeded to say, it would. be in the recol lection of the house that in a recent debate the Duke of Newcastle asserted in the other house that he (Mr. Megan) had given him certain information with regard to words made use of by a relative of his hon. and gallant friend. Ho wished to make an explanation on this subject, but was altogether in the hands of the house. A Voice—Speak up. What is it all about ? The SPEAKER here interposed, and said that if the mat ter on which the hon. member desired to speak was one of public importance, he would be entitled to bring it under the consideration of the house ; but if it were a matter of private controversy between him and any other member, he would act most judiciously by arranging it out of doors Mr. MAGAN said that he should not have placed any notice on the paper, were it not that he considered that his own character and that of the hon. member for Port arlington, were at stake. The subject then dropped. THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON. Mr. MACARTNEY called the attention of the house to a warrant having been lately issued to the Commodore and members of the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ire land, by the Board of Admiralty, granting permission to the members of that Club, to carry and use the white ensign of the fleet on board t he vessels of that bod y , although the exclusive privilege to use such white ensign had been accorded to the Royal Yacht Squadron of England, by a warrant issued fie.. the Board of Ad miralty, in J ame 1829, by desire of his lat e M a j es ty George the Fourth, and moved for copies of documents relating to this matter, includine two letters addressed by the Secretary of the Treasury i to the Commodore of the Royal Saint George's Yacht Club, Kingston, granting, but afterwards rescinding, the permission to the members of that club, to carry and use the white ensign of the fleet on board their yachts and. vessels, the reason assigned for so rescinding such permission being " that the Royal Yacht Squadron of England had the exclusive privilege to carry and use such white ensign of the Fleet on board their vessels." His (Mr. Macartney's) object was to ascertain from the right hon. baronet at the head of the Admiralty, whether it was the fact, or not, that the Royal Yacht Squadron had th e exclusive right to use the white burgee. ir J. GRAHAM replied, that if any uninformed by stander were to comment on their proceedings—(hear, hear)--he could hardly believe that the decision with re spect to the future government of our Indian empire was the subject which was kept waiting for discussion while the house considered, first, what was the fine un posed on a cabman, and now what should be the colour of a bit of bunting to be worn by yachts. (Hear, hear.) It was a proof that there was nothing so great that the house was not equal to grapple with it, and nothing so minute that the .house would not stoop to consider it. The honourable member was in error in supposing that the Royal Yacht Club at Cowes had over had the ex clusive right of wearing the white ensign. It was not granted in 1829 exclusively to that club; but for a long time warrants were granted to particular yachts. He (Sir J. Graham) had the honour of being at the Admiralty in 1832, when an application was made by certain gen tlemen residing in the south-west of Ireland, who had formed themselves into a club, to have the permission. He took the pleasure of King William IV. with respect to that application, and received his permission to grant a general warrant. It was required that there should be a crown with a shamrock, as a distinguishing mark. That warrant, granted in 1&32, had never since been revoked. They had possessed it for 21 years, and applications had been made by the present board. to revoke it. That appli cation had not been assented to. He was perfectly ready to lay on the table all papers that had passed on the sub ject. (No.) It was agreed that the house at its rising should adjourn to Monday next. CLITHEROE ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON appeared at the bar, an'3 stated that ho was instructed by .the Select Coernittee on the (3iitheroo Election Petition to inform the house that, with respect to the witness Towler, now in the custody of the Sergeant-wt-Arms, the committee having reconsidered his 102 3i 68 103 i 1161 16 711 2/1 53i2/ Australasia British Colonial Bank and Loan Company British N.

In reply to Lord ST. LEO.NARDS, The LORD CHANCELLOR said he expected in about a week or ten days to issue a commission to inquire into the constitution of the Bankruptcy and County Courts. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS ACT AMEND MENT BILL. This bill went through committee. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH inquired what were the intentions of her Majesty's Ministers with re.3pect to the salaries of schoolmasters in Scotland, which he contended were by no means commensurate with the arduous and important duties they had to perform. The Earl of ABERDEEN replied that their case would be considered in connection with the general scheme of education which the Government had been compelled to postpone till next session. It was not in tended, therefore, to introduce a separate bill on this subject. The Resident Magistrates (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. The Public Libraries (Ireland and Scotland) Bill was read a second time. The Registrar of Meetings' Bill went through com mittee. The Customs Duties Bill was read a third time. The Dublin Parliamentary Registration Bill was read a third time. The Stamp Duties Bill went through committee. The Hurgh Harbour (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. The Elections Bill was read a second time. SHERIFF COURTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Earl of ABERDEEN, in moving the second read ing, said this was a bill of law reform, from which he anticipated great advantage to the people of Scotland. It was so completely technical in its character that he could not attempt to explain it in detail ; but its general object was to expedite legal proceedings, and to cheapen the distribution of justice. Lord BROUGHAM said his sole objection to the measure was that it did not go far enough. It was a very doubtful question whether the double judicature should be at once abolished ; but at all events he saw no reason why the juri:diction of these courts should not be extended to 501. instead of being limited, as it was under the bill, to 12/. The true course to adopt was to give an appeal in matters of law, and not to allow it in matters of fact, except in the case of a new trial, where there had been a miscarriage in point of law. On the whole he would not object to the second reading. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH thought that the mea sure would confer great benefit on the people of Scot land. He was aware that there was a feeling in Scotland against the double administration, but so far as he was able to judge the maintenance of the double sheriffs—principal and depute—was the best system, at least for the present. (Hear.) The bill was then read a second time. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) SOUTH SEA ANNUITANT DISSENTIENTS. (Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.) Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought it was impossible for the committee to assent to the resolution as it now stood. He objected to placing in the hands of the Treasury a power to deal with each indi vidual. and to fix the amount of money he should receive for his stock. It would make the Trea sury the greatest stock-jobbers of the country. The demand on the part of the Ministry was not, as bad been contended by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, analo gous to his control over the unfunded debt ; the latter had certain limits which might or might not be too wide, but were reducible to a certain degree of fixedness. What was now asked for was absolute, unlimited powers. He thought he had a right to call upon Ministers to de clare the terms on which they intended to act, and he was sure that their refusal would not be fair to the house or to the country. Mr. GLYNN apprehended that the object of this re solution was not to make a new offer, but to give an option to a particular set of men, whose position at the time of passing the first bill had been overlooked, and who had no power then given of accepting any offer. He thought the mode of going into the market, provided by this resolution, was by far the most economical. He regretted that the right hon. gentleman had relinquished his intention of bringing in a bill to deal with the funds . in the Court of Chancery. After a few words from Mr. SPOONER and Mr. WILSON, Mr. WILKINSON wished to know whether this was a new offer, or whether it was mcrely intended to ac commodate those who formerly could not accept any offer. Mr. DISRAELI protested against the new view taken by the Government, that the failure of their finan cial scheme was to be attributed either to the state of the weather, or to the state of the continent. It had been condemned from the first by all practical men, and the public had wisely abstained from having anything to do with projects so illusory. He should very much like to know the amount of those deficiency bills to which the right hon. gentleman had so lighty alluded. He believed the amount of interest on these bills must be much greater than a few hundred pounds, or else the Bank of Eng land were accommodating the Chancellor of the Ex chequer at a much lower rate of interest than they ac commodated other parties. The committee then divided, and the numbers were— For the resolution Against it .67 Majority —5O The resolution was then agreed to. The third resolution was then agreed to after a few words from Mr. NEWDEGATE and Sir F. KELLY. The house then resumed. ASSESSED TAXES BILL. This bill passed through committee, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having intimated his intention to consent to almost all the amendments proposed by dif ferent hon. members. The Stamp Duties (No. 2) 13111 was read a third time and passed. The house then adjourned until six o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock. PETITIONS. Dr. MICHELL presented a petition from the mer chants and bankers of Bishops Stortford, praying this honourable house would not allow the Lords of the Ad- miralty to treat its resolutions of the Bth of April, 1850 with contempt, by continuing the degradation of the assistaiit-surgeons of the navy--which degradation has ' compelled the honourable board to reduce the standard of qualification, in order to procure a sufficient number of inferior officers of the medical profession for the Royal Navy ; also another petition from the medical practi tioners of Bishops Stortford, to the same effect. Mr. H. BERKELEY presented a petition from a branch of the medical profession of the city of Bristol, praying the house to use due deliberation in legislating on the subject of vaccination. Mr. THORNELEY presented a petition from deputies of congregations of Protestant dissenters of the Presby terian denomination, praying that the congregations and chapels of non-conformists, and their fferent trusts may be exempted from the Charitable Trusts Bill, and that the 43rd clause of the bill may be omitted. Captain SCOBELL presented petitions from members of the Town Council of the city of Bath, praying certain amendments in the Charitable Trusts Bill ; also praying that the same bill may speedily pass into law. Mr. W. LOCKHART presented seven petitions in favour of the Nunneries Bill. NOTICE OF MOTION. --- - Mr. OLIVEIRA gave notice, that on the first day of going into committee of supply, he would bring under the consideration of the house the state of the metropo litan bridges, with a view to call the attention of the First Commissioner of Works to that impor tant subject. CAB FARES. Mr. BOWYER observed, that it was now a received principle of political economy, and shown by. experience to be a correct one, that there ought to be no interfplie labour by legislative enactments in respect t o the price of d or any other commodity. That principle had been ap not only to all things sold and manufactured, but also to public conveyances, such as steam-boats and o mnibusesrice furn . Of course, he was speaking only in respect to the price Of paid by the public for the accommodation, ished y those conveyances, entirely setting aside, as a separate matter, the question of regulation. With this preliminary statement, he put the question of which he had given no tice, whether the Government would agree to the appoint ment of a select committee to inquire whether the prin ciple of unrestricted competition should be applied to cab fares? lied, that at that period of the Lord J. RUSSEL L re p session he should not think it advisable to appoint a select committee on the subject. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord J . RUSSEEL, in moving that the house at its • rising ' do a djourn till Monday , gave notice that on Tues day and Thursday next he proposed that the h ouse s h ould go in t o co mmittee of supply, and that on M on d ay, b efore the h ouse went into committee of supply, h e wou ld exp l a in, iu compliance with a wish expressed by the right hon. member for Droitwic h, the intenti ons o f th e Govern ment with respect to theisland of Jamaica. Sir J. SHELLEY said, that as the Government had now taken Tuesdays for their business, h e s h ould have no oppoi tunity of bringing forward his motion, which stood for next Tuesday, for the prosecution of Mr. Mare, the un seated member for Plymouth. He regretted this circum stance, as ho thought it absurd for the house to have a resolution on its journals declaring that it would visit with its utmost displeasure any person who endeavoured to ob tain a seat in Parliament by bribery or other corrupt prac tices, and yet allow gentenien who had got Mewls in that hotise to go scot free, while it punished small men wha had nobody to defend them for prevarication before a c?m iiaittee. He had done all he could to bring the subject before the house, and he now gave notice that he should pursue it no further, though he thought the house had lost evidence, and havingcompared it with the evidence of othe witnesses, were unable to arrive at any other conclusion than that he was guilty of wilful prevarication, with the intention of misleading the committee. The hon. member then proceeded to move that Towler be committed to New gate, and that the Speaker do issue his warrant to that effect. Mr. FRENCH asked why it was proposed to depart from the ordinary rule of having the man prosecutad for perjury ? Mr. G. A. HAMILTON replied, that the crime of which the witness 'vas guilty was not peijury, but prevarication. Till the house had an opportunity of seeing the evidence it would be rather premature to sanction proceedings against him for perjury. The motion was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. HUME, copies were ordered of the financial letter from Madras to the Government of India dated January 3,1848, and of other papers referring chiefly to public .works in India ; also returns relating to the sit tings iu the churches and chapels of the Church of Scotland within the Parliamentary borough of Edinburgh. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL, On the motion that this bill be read a third time, Mr. BRIGHT objected to the re-introduction, without notice, of the cl auses re q u i r i ng owners hi p o f East ' India Stock as a qualification for all the directors. Sir C. WOOD repeated the reasons he had assigned for the insertion of that clause and Mr. HUME stated that he, perhaps, was as much to blame as anybody, for he had objected to the exclusion of the clause. The bill was then read a third time. On the question that the bill do pass, Mr. HE 1' WORTH moved the following clause—" That, whereas the East India Company are the territorial land lords of India, it be an instruction given by this act to the Government now established in India that it shall forth with institute a survey of all the jungle, unenclosed and unoccupied lands, and shall cause the same to be mapped out, for the purpose of selling the said lands as freeholds, at prices not ex - ceeding ss. per acre, and thereby, without interfering with the present tenure of the lands already occupied and brought into cultivation, a system of free holds in land may be introduced, which is a main stimulus to productive agricultural industry." Mr. HADFIELD seconded the clause. Lord J. RUSSELL objected to the clause, the principle of which did not seem to him expedient in itself, or appli cable to the circumstances of India. Mr. HUME said it would be futile to extend cultivation in the interior of India, until means were thoroughly ac complished for the conveyance of produce to the ports and markets. The object of his hon. friend was a very bene volent one, but he did not see that it could be effected by a resolution of the House of Commons. Sir J. HOGG pointed out that, the revenue of India being mainly derived from land, to adopt the clause of the hon. member would be to cut off one great future source of income. At the present time the company af forded great facilities to all persons who desired to rent laud in India. Sir R. FITZGERALD supported the motion, on the ground that any change would be for the better to the na tives of India. The clause was negatived without a division. Mr. 3. G. I'HILLIMORE then moved the following clause :—" Whereas it is essential for the good' govern ment of British India, and highly conducive to the con tentment of the people, that no case of real misgovern ment or of well-grounded grievance should be without real means of redress; be it eaacted, that persons suffering under alleged wrong may lay their case before the Lords Justices, and that it they shall allow the further prosecu tion of the C!1,40 it Sh.lll U 0 i'aferro.d to the Judicial Com mittee of the Privy Council, and the decision of the Judi cial Committee upon such case shall be final." Mr. LOWE opposed the motion, observing that the question it raised had already been decided by the house. After observations by Mr. Blackett, Mr. Murrough, Sir R. Inglis, and Mr. Hume, • Lord J. RUSSELL said that the whole question before the house was this—EM the clause proposed give a re medy for the evil complained of ? It was said that the present mode of dealing- with the cases of persons having claims on the Indian Government was dilatory and ex pensive. Well, he admitted this, but it was impossible that it could be otherwise from the very nature of the cases themselves. But he did not, see the necessity of a special tribunal to try those cases. The case of the Rajah was one of disputed suocession, which could not be decided by the tribunal proposed. (Hear, hear.) He con tended that the present mode of dealing with cases of al leged Indian injustice could be properly disposed of through the medium of the Governor-General, the Court of Di rectera, and Parliament, and he denied that cases that had been decided by these tribunals had been flagrantly dealt with. Unless_ they provided a perfect remedy for the evils complained of, the better course would be to leave matters as they were: Ho hoped never to see the day when that house would be called upon to impeach a Governor-General of India ; but the, house was the ulti- Mate appeal in all cases of the kind, and ought to be so. He did not think the Lords Justices were persons who could deal properly with such cases as those under consi deration, and it would be impossible for a committee of the Privy Council to decide upon such cases unless power were given to it, that would override the powers of the Court of Directors, and would equal those of Parliament itself. Mr. BRIGHT supported the clause, because he thought the tribunal would be equal to the decision of cases between British subjects and the Government of India. The hon. 4entlepiau referred to the case of Colonel Frith in support of this view of the case. He could say that Colonel Frith would submit his case to the Committee of Privy Council with great willingness, and he would rest satisfied even if the decision wee against him. He hoped the noble lord would give so, ne assarance that some tribunal would be • established to deal with CANS arising between British sub jects and the Court of Directors. Sir H. HADDOCK ieterred to the case of the Rajah of Sattara, and contended that it proved the necessity of an independent tribunal. being established to investigate such cases. Sir JAMES HOGG said that Sir James Carnac was the governor selected for Bombay, and it was well known that when in England, on tho Court of Directors, he was an advocate of the. Rajah of Sattara, ; but when Sir James Carnac went toPombay, and inquired into the circum stances of theAja,h's case, he decided against him. With regard to.the >rticulat , enotion before the house, he was decidedly opposed to the constitution of a tribunal which would be paramount to all authority. Thee,: was already a court of appeal in India, and a similar tribunal in Eng land, namely, tho Committee of Privy Council. Sir J. FITZGERALD supported the clause. Mr. PHILLIMORE said he was ready to withdraw that part of the clause which gave the power of appeal to the Lords Justices ; and if Lord John Russell would give a promise that he intended to carry out the scheme approved by Sir Robert Peel and Lord Althorp, he would withdraw the clause altogether. Lord J. RUSSELL believed that Sir Robert Peel had never proposed any measure on the subject at all. Ha merely asked the Government to consider the question, and Lord Althorp, without pledging himself to any details, said that he would. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it Majority ' The clause was consequently lost. Mr. WISE then moved the following amendment and clause :—" That clause 29 be disagreed to. And be it enacted with regard to admissions into the Military Col lege at Addiscombe, that the nominations shall be made by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President of the Loard of Control, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and the Governor-General of India respectively, for the time being, in equal proportions of one - fourth ' of such nominations." The clause was put and negatived without a division. Mr. BRIGHT then moved the introduction of a clause providing that suitable offices should be erected or procured for the East India Company and the Board of Control, if possible, under the same roof. All had acknow ledged the great delay and inconvenience that arose from having the two departments located two or three miles apart. It was said by a writer on India, that she Presi dentship of the Poard of Control was the penal office in the Cabinet. He hoped that reproach would no longer attach to it, and, as it was now raised to the dignity of a first class office, with a first-class salary, that the right honour able gentleman would bring tir' st-class talents and exer tions to the discharge of his important duties. The salaries of the clerks and officers of the company at Lead enhall-street amounted to upwards of 100,000 h Then there were 25,000/. spent in pensions; and other allow ances, &0., 18,0001. more ; law expenses, 4,0001., and so on; altogether amounting to 187,0001. The Board of Control cost nearly 30,0001. ; and thus the two depart ments cost upwards of 200,0001. Yet it was said that the chief part of the government of India must take place in I n di a , Why the Board of Inland Revenue had been transferred to Somerset-house, with a great advantage and a great saving, the building in Broad-street having been sold. In the same way the building in Leadenhall-street might be sold, and the produce would pay for the erec tion of new offices near Downing-street. No one could pretend that the administration of Indian affairs would not be improved by the arrangement. There could be no inconvenience or expense, and the directors might come up by the lti. steamers, or altogether in an omnibus ; and a cab was only is. 6d. (A laugh.) If the right hon. gen tleman opposed the clause, it was to be hoped that he would.do so on some reasonable ground; but the clause was so just and reasonable that he (Mr. Bright) hoped the right hon. gentleman would consent to it. The clause was brought up and read a first time, and on the question that it be read a second time, Sir C. WOOD said he could not forfeit his character for modesty by alluding to the increased salary voted for his office farther than to say that he conceived his responsi bilities were greatly increased by:the present measure, and he would do his utmost to discharge his duties. He agreed that if the offices of the company and the Board of Control were consolidated it must be at Westminster. And the change would probably be accompanied by the establish ment of a system of single government, under a Secretf: of State. On that subject the arguments on both sides n f t been repeatedly discussed.

Mr. HUME said the whole affairs of India being con ducted under check and control of the Board of Directors, required the establishment at Leadenhall-stteet. He was sensible of the advantages of consolidation, but was not prepared at t he p resent time to consent to the abolition of e was ample empl o y men t for all rs in the affairs of India ,• and tthheatele,sertagbielissohire. tehnet. directors he suggested that they ought not to be connected with any other public bodies. Lord STANLEY said there had not been a single reason given against the clause. (Hear, hear.) It seemed a mere question of time. (Hear, hear.) The Indian government was rapidly approximating to the single form, and when that system was established consolidation must ensue. That being so, it would follow that the sooner the change was efiheted the better. (Hear, hear.) As to the expense it was really inconsiderable. (Hear, hear.) The majority of the directors were not engaged is other business, and if these offices were to become so important as it was now contended, they ought to concentrate their attention as much as possible upea their duties. He believed that the idouble system of offices doubled the chances of business being neglected, since a double staff of subordinates relied on each other, and had a divided responsibility, (Hear, ~:., 10 20 20 20 8i la 20 10 20 44a. 8:1 IIGN. 86 7 134 36 f 601 i 1161 27i • • r
