OUR BUDGET FOR THE SEASON must be the easiest to understand and the most appreciated, because of its application In the most profitable and seasonable man ner to every individual in society. Its contents are variety, abun dance.kuperlor quality, and unparalleled cheapness ; reductions in prices, and improvements in the style and comfort of Spring and Summer Attire ; and all the requisities end elegancies of Dress de sired by all classes are brought out with brilliancy, beauty, perfec tion, and cheapness. To say our "Budget" contains some excellent Styles and some remarkable features is purely unnecessary ; it con tains every novel invention which practical experience and the polite customs of society will approve, and every feature which a mighty progress in skill and commerce can produce. We, therefore, the proprietors of the largest Clothing Business in the world, invite attention to New Styles of Dress in countless succession, for gentle men and their sons, for mechanics, and all others who are making a change in their wardrobe suitable for the present season, and only repeat a well known fact, "That every kind of Dress procured at E. MOSES and SON'S is the newest and neatest, the most serviceable and comfortable, as well as the cheapest which can be obtained. E. MOSES and SON'S Spring and Summer Hats, Caps, Hosiery, &c., &c., &c., are splendid exhibitions of the richest and the best Goods. They have been selected from every disting&shed manufac tory, British and Foreign, and are as much celebrated for their stye, quality, and superior finish, as they are for being the cheapest Goods in the world. • ---- THE TIME AND POINT OF EMIGRATION. This is the Time, and Australia is the Point to which thousands are about to steer. Everyone has Time to examine his Outfit and the Clothing he will require at the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. A separate department is kept where the Goods are arranged for inspection ; and evcry article required is ftwnished in the best quality at the lowest price. The Largest Wholesale Clothing Establishment in the world is that of E. MOSES and SON, where Merchants, Ca ?tains, and Emigrants may at any moment make the most suitable and profitable invest ments.

SPECIAL NOTICE, to prevent disappointment. —The Establish ments will be Closed tne whole day, FRIDAY. April 29, but will openas usual on the evening of Saturday, April 30. Re- CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, hating learned that the untradesrnan-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have NO CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN 011. OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minorles, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fied his charges at the lowest scale possible.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Soeiety, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. M.. AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregu'arities and excesses, which have pro- Sliced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitibl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heSrday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con-equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaint=, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct Attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is of I, their . unqualified have ignorant a v e lr serious ei who, h ion' j tree.

Lord CAMPBELL presented a: petition from Cupar, in Fifeshire, in favour of the C ada Clergy Reserves Bill. The Earl of WICKLOW pre nted a petition from Alderman Salomons in favour of the Jew Bill. The Earl of CARLISLE presented petitions from Kendal, and other places, against the ppening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions against the Jew Bill, and against the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill. The Earl of EGLINTON preiented petitions from the Presbytery of Dalkeith, and) other places, against the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill. ; The Earl of WINCHILSE4 presented petitions against the Maynooth Grant. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented petitions from the Protestant Dissenters of Nirmingham, and also from Southampton, in favour of tlfe Jew Bill. THE TURKISH QI7ESTION. In answer to the Marquis Of CLANRICARDR, who entered into the events which live lately taken place in Turkey, all of which have Veen detailed at great length in the public prints, and asked for information as to the present state of the negotiations, The Earl of CLARENDON said that, as a portion of the negotiations were still pending, he must decline to furnish any information - on the subject at present: He might state, however, 'that her Majesty's Government felt. to,, the utmost the great importance of maintaining the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, and from the com munications which he had had, he might assure their lordships that that would be the guiding principle of the policy of all the great European Powers towards Turkey. the Turkish empire had nothing to fear from external aggressions if the Porte would ohly pay greater atten tion to her internal policy, and more particularly to the treatment of its Christian subjects. It was with a view to pressing this subject on the attention of the Porte that Lord Stratford had been ordered to repair to his post at Constantinople, and a special character was for that purpose given to his mission. With regard to the mission of Prince Menschikoff, it had reference to the question of the Holy Shrines. The reports of disturbances having occurred within the last few days were greatly exagge rated, if not wholly false, as a telegraphic dispatch had been received from Lord Stratford, stating that, on the 14th instant, all was quiet at Constantinople. There was not, he believed, the slightest danger of the peace of Euro2e being disturbed by any misunderstanding on this question. Lord BEAUMONT said the statement of the noble lord was very assuring and filled him with confidence that the interests of Turkey were perfectly safe ; but he asked the noble lord if he would lay the papers on the table of the house ? The Earl of CLARENDON said he could not at that moment state whether he could lay the papers referred to on the table ; but if no inconvenience would arise to the public service, he should be able to give his noble friend what information he could in that shape. Lord BEAUMONT said the explanation made the case much more satisfactory than it was before. THE CLERGY RESERVES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill ; Lord REDESDILE in the chair. The Earl of DERBY said before the question was put "that this clause stand part of the bill," he-was de sirous of having the opportunity of addressing their lordships on the amendment of which he had given notice in the shape of a proviso. That amendment was in itself so just, so reasonable, and as it appeared to him that the principle on which it was founded was of such universal application, that he entertained the most sanguine expectations that it would be adopted. He felt more sanguine of such a result if he could believe that they could come to the conclusion of this question setting aside political and party consideration, and going into it on impartial, if not judicial considera tions, because he was satisfied, if they looked at it in a judicial character, they would find there were prin ciples about to be infringed by this bill which it was their duty in their .high capacity to protect, and which would to a certain extent be protected by the amend ment he proposed. It might be said that the amend ment did not fully come up to the claims of justice and equity, but he desired not to meet the bill with any factious opposition, but so to amend the bill that they might to some extent reconcile the imperative claims of a judicial principle with those liberal views and objects which her Majesty's Government had in view, in offering to the colonial legislature a power larger than that which any colonial legislature had ever yet possessed. The effect of the amendment would be to grant to the Canadian Legislature all that was proposed with regard to the clergy reserves not hitherto appropriated and allotted under the authority of grants of the Crown, or acts of Parliament, for the specific use of the clergy. He proposed to limit the power to be given to the Cana dian Legislature, so that it should be prospective only. A noble earl said, in a former debate, that the adoption of this amendment would as effectually destroy the effect of the bill as if they had rejected the bill on the second reading. He entirely demurred on that statement. If the amendment were agreed to, the Canadian Legisla ture would have the absolute disposal of the unappropri ated lands of the clergy, containing no less than 1,500,000 acres, valued at 430,000/. The noble duke (the Duke of Newcastle), on the second reading, said the bill in point of fact only restored to the Canadian Legislature the powers which had been exercised by the Legislature of Upper Canada under the act of 1791. That act gave the Canadian Legislature power to vary and repeal the pro visions of the act with regard to the endowment of the Protestant Church, but it went on to subject that legislation to a most important control, by providing that no alteration should be assented to by the crown till the bill had been laid on the table of either house for thirty days, nor if the house interposed by an address. This bill took away that restriction. In the amendment which he now proposed to their lordships, he asked them to lake the same course which the government had taken in the measure of 1840, extending that concession, however, much further and muc h more lib era lly to the colony by offering absolute control over all future ap propriations, but in regard to the endowments that had been sanctioned by grants of the crown and by the re visal of the Legislature, by investments in the public funds, and by the appointment of trustees to provide for their distribution, he proceeded upon the principle that even if parliament had the power it had not the right to alienate them. (Hear, hear.) His argument was that if parliament alienated from the church these re serves they would:strike at the very root of the whole system on which the church was based. (Hear, hear.) This bill was something in the nature of an appropriation clause ; it proceeded on the principle that if attention was paid to the interests of the existing incumbents, the property of the church might be dealt with as the Ca nadian legislature might think fit, and he warned their lordships not to lay down for the first time so dangerous and so confiscating a principle. (Hear, hear.) If that was indeed the opinion of ' the House of Lords, let it be declared in a broad and general as sertion of the principle; but let it not be insinuated by its adoption in a comparatively insignificant case. (Hear, hear.) As regarded the withdrawal of the third clause, he was astonished at the course taken by the Government, it was in direct violation of what the Chancellor of the Exchequer had called "not merely a virtual, but a public and -actual compact." (Hear.), The Government had, however, succeeded in with drawing the clause, notwithstanding the opposition of their Radical supporters—(hear, hear, and laughter)— and had so succeeded by the assistance of what he (the Earl of Derby) must still be permitted to call the Con servative party—(cheers)—in the House of Commons. The Liberal-Conservative-Republican Government — (great laughter)—he might go , on with more such defi nitions—(renewed laughter)—included in it gentlemen who "gloried in the name of Radical ;" and who had supported the bill chiefly for its merits in that third clause : so that he was equally surprised at the intro duction and at the withdrawal of the clause. But he regretted the course 'pursued not because of its incon sistency, but because of its being utterly subversive of all faith in public men. (Hear, hear.) He defied the Government to vindicate the transaction—the guarantee m a ß d u e t i his n b e i t l t o h f i t i h n e . validbweaesn leleft o t r h i e t N d v o a u s b n t o t n s w ; h i a ch d u th n (l e r u e e s o t i u e g n l a i ht l n y o t r e t hav e . been a ine v d e .

(Cheers.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he was too mindful of the patience extended to him by the house on Friday night to trespass at any greater length than was possible upon their lordships now. He would not follow the ex ample of the noble earl, who had made a speech now which he ought to have made on Friday, and which had been reserved for to-night. The noble earl was a great tactician, but it was for the house to say how far tactics were appropriate to a bill of this kind, and how far it was appropriate to take the chance of catching a majority in this stage of a bill, on which there bad been no dis cussion on the second reading, although they were told that its principle was vicious. They were told by a right rev. prelate that the bill was sacrilege, and by a noble and learned lord that it was a gross infraction of the rights of property, and yet the conservative party, as the noble earl called it, in contradistinction to that side of the house, were so conservative of the rights of the church, that for the chance of a party triumph, they would not divide on the second reading of a bill which they declared to be sacrilege and a gross infraction of the rights of property, The noble earl was not only a great tactician, but he was also a great artist, for he had con trived to wrap up and conceal what were the views and principles contained in bis own amendment. The noble earl had gone through every question connected with the bill, and one-third of his speech was occupied in discus sing a clause which was no longer in the bill, and which had not come up to their lordships' house, but the noble earl had studiously concealed, if the bill was what he de clared it to be, that his amendment was as vicious in prin ciple as the bill itself. (Hear, hear.) What had the noble earl done 1 He—the leader of the gr - at Conserva tive party—the leader of the landed aristocracy—had called on the house to give a stability to realised pro perty: which he claimed to land ; for he said he was ready to give to the legislature of Canada the power of dealing with a million-and-a-half acres of land ; he would be ready to sanction this, as gross an infraction of the rights of property ; but he would not allow that which had been sold, and ;the funds derived from it, to be touched. Was that a repudiation of sacrilege and the rights of property ? What did the noble and learned lord the late Lord Chancellor say, but that if respect for the rights of property was to be good for anything it must be universal ;" and yet the late prime minister gave up half of this property to preserve the other half. The noble earl impugned the principle of the bill, and yet was establishing a similar principle of his own. He (the Duke of Newcastle) did not believe when he heard the noble earl on Friday night give notice of his amendment, that it could be framed in the manner he then stated he proposed to do. The noble earl in three-quarters of his speech reverted to minute criticism on the third clause which had been omitted from the bill, and which related to the guarantee of 1840. However the noble earl might criticise his (the Duke of Newcastle's) dispatch, he would say that the guarantee was omitted for the cause he had stated on Friday. But the noble earl misrepresented the position in which the guarantee stood t t h h e a t guaranteethe h c r t o h N e v n p w a peerre on o w p h i e n n io h n e th sa at id which it was written. He (the Duke of Newcastle) as serted that it would stand on the same footing as it did now. If the noble earl meant that the money and land would not be so secure in the hands of the Canadian Le gislature as in those of the Brit ish Parliament, he (the Duke of Newcastle) maintained t hat that was an argu ment against the whole bill, and not against the omission of the clause relating to the guarantee. The guarantee was given for a specific purpose, namely, in case the funds appropriated to the church should fall beyond a given amount. It remained in the same position, and if it was handed over to the Canadian Legislature, if such an accident should occur, it would still be available, and still have the same effect as now ; and the only dif ference was, that you removed the jurisdiction and the trust from the British Parliament to that of Canada. The noble earl said that if the bill passed he should pre fer that the second clause should be omitted, and that existing interests should not be respected. That was a novel doctrine as coming from any one, and especially from the leader of the conservative party. The noble earl had appealed to the right reverend bench, and asked whether, if it was a question relating to the Church of England, they would con sent to a measure which would a li en ate the property of the Church while it left them selves intact. He (the Duke of Newcastle) believed that those right rev. prelates would make no such distinction. But was there no precedent ? Did not the noble earl bring in a bill to reduce the episcopate of Ireland by ten bishops ? and he did not say that he would not legislate for existing interests.. No, the noble earl preserved existing interests ; and it was only as tin bishoprics became vacant by deaths that they ceased. The noble earl had acted on that principle ; and there was no great chance of the right rev. bench being influ enced by appeals to them like that. The noble duke then proceeded to advert to the statements of the Bishop of Exeter and Lord St. Leonards on Friday last. He said, the right rev. prelate stated in strong language that ho (the Duke of Newcastle) was bound, by a sense of personal honour, to delay this bill for thirty days on their lordships' table because he had misrepresented the question as regarded the Roman Catholic :endow ments in Canada—and the noble and learned lord pur sued the same course. They stated that he (the Duke of Newcastle) had said that the clergy reserves rested on the same footing as the Roman Catholic endowments, and the right rev. prelate said it was the fact that the rights of the;Roman Catholic priesthood to these endow ments could not be changed by the Canadian legislature, the measure must be laid before their lordships' house. So far as the statement of the right rev. prelate went it was correct. But it was not the case with the noble and learned lord, for he said that in order to the security of the property of the Roman Catholic Church, if any measure relating to it was passed by the Canadian Legislature it must be laid on the table of that house. The noble and learned lord was mistaken. The words of the act of 1744 were " the dues and rights of the Roman catholic church," and the same words were used in the act of 1793, in which act, for the first time, was found the provision that such a measure must be before their lordships for 30 days, before the crown could give effect to it. It was to the " dues and rights alone " to which the act referred. What were those dues and rights '1 They were the tithes alone, not the tenth, but the 26th of the cereals derived from land possessed by Roman catholics alone, and which had often been evaded by the denial of Roman catholics that they belonged to that church. Lord ST. LEONARDS said he was not guilty of any misrepresentation, for he was aware that the dues and rights only represented tithes. The Duke of NEWCASTLE—The noble and learned lord used the word " property." Lord ST. LEONARDS said he used the words dues and rights, which meant tithes, and that he called pro perty. The Duke of NEWCASTLE—The noble and learned lord could not say that tithes so held could be com pared to the clergy reserves, and the great seigniories which belonged to the church of England, and he maintained that it was only a mystification to say that the property of the Roman catholics was the same. He would say that the great bulk of the Roman catholic property in Canada did not now stand on precisely the same footing as the clergy reserves would stand if the bill passed. With regard to the amend ment, the noble earl said that nothing could be more just and moderate than it was. No doubt it would be so, if they were discussing a measure of confiscation or secularisation, and were setting the Canadian Parliament on one side, and the British House of Commons on the other. But it was, in fact, splitting the difference, and saying, "If you will give up a portion of what you claim as a right, you shall retain the remainder." This measure, however, was not based on the question whether the arrangement of 1840 was just and right or not, or whether the clergy reserves should be appropri ated to all the religious denominations of the colony ; but on the question whether they were to dictate to the Canadian Parliament on a matter entirely connected with that country ; and he would say that it would not be palatable to the Canadians to hand over to them the management of the land, and appropriate the proceeds of the land which had been invested. The noble lord said that the Government had been vacillating and un certain of purpose, but he (the Duke of Newcastle) said that they had aimed at but one object throughout. But what lad been the conduct of the noble earl him self? The noble earl's Colonial Secretary and Home Secretary in the other house had attacked the bill on the highest principle. The noble lord by the side of the noble earl had done the same, and so had the right reverend prelate ; but the noble earl talked of vacillation and uncertainty of purpose, when he had moved an amendment which retained one half of the matter in dispute, and gave up the other. What was vacillation and uncertainty of purpose if that was not ? Ho (the Duke of Newcastle) maintained that it would have been more just, right, and becoming to this country and to the colony to have rejected the bill on the second reading, than to go on with it with this principle engrafted on it. Why had the act of 1840 failed? Not because it was an a rran g ement either un just or bad in itself, but because it was made by the British Parliament and not by the Canadian Legisla ture, and, he would ask, why repeat that experiment ? You would only abandon half the property in question for nothing ; you would not have gained peace or conci liated the colony, which the noble earl said it was his desire to make happy and contented. The noble earl had made a further distinction, and said that you had no right to touch the realised fund or the invested pro perty, and so anxious was he to p revent the bill from being :a boon to the colony that he would not decide ei t what the land itself was. He could understand the noble earl saying he wou ld take the land and give you woud th e money, but he said not only shall you secur e, in t n h e c i r a p n r a e d s a e , n t and position, to th et presenthe in invested s trustees,t e fundsd butto the th at churchestal the i ren ts accruing from the lands now devised fo r t erms of years shall be equally appropriated. (" No , " from Lord Leonards.) He could give no other meaning to it, and two eminent lawyers whom he had consulted had told lieh h t eh property trusted effectusted their h ofi hlordships thet the e a mp present nsdeni nt en n . l The Earl of WICKLOW was perfectly willing t o con tinue i n u l h e t ehanlatl that ph thatooss s e e right s s w se o d u , d and lo adopt the amendment to that extent.

The Bishop of ST. DAVIDS observed that the amendment, being one of compromise, rendered it im possible to discuss the question upon any ground of prin ciple whatever. The real question lay, however, in a very narrow compass. If their lordships were prepared to affirm that whenever property was once assigned for the maintenance of religion it could never be diverted from that purpose without sacrilege, then they were bound to deny the demand of the Canadian Legislature; but to lay down such a principle would be strangely to forget the history of this measure itself. The assump tion that this bill involved a breach of faith was erro neous, as might be shown from a reference to official documents, written when the act of 1840 was agreed to. The Bishop of LONDON would not consent, in com pliance with the wishes of a small portion of her Ma jesty's subjects, to sacrifice a Church which was the dearest and most valuable inheritance of the colony. The Duke of ARGYLL felt himself unable to agree with the amendment, which was virtually subversive of the great principles already assented to in the second reading of the bill--namely, that it was the natural right of every colony to exercise exclusive control over all matters of purely internal concern. Earl GREY considered that the interests of the Church, as well as the political interests of the empire, called upon their lordships to pass this bill in the shape in which it had been introduced. If their lordships were determined to reject it, he appealed to them to do min a plain and straightforward manner by a vote upon the third reading, and not to concur in an amendment which had no principle to stand upon. Lord ST. LEONARDS said the question was whether they were to destroy existing endowments. The act of 1840 was passed as an act of peace and justice, and it did surprise him that the members of the same Govern ment who introduced that measure should. now come forward and ask the Legislature to undo all that had been done. _ Mr. WILSON said the Postmaster-General wouli be quite ready to consider the case of the sorters. SOAP DUTIES. In reply to an Hon. MEMBER, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was proposed to abolish the duty on the importation of manufactured soap, but not the duty on the raw mate rial. METROPOLITAN BUILDING ACT. In reply to Lord D. STUART, Sir W. MOLESWORTH said it was not intended to introduce any bill this session to amend the Metropoli tan Building Act, but an inquiry would be instituted this year with the view to legislation next session. THE MODERN GUNPOWDER PLOT. In reply to M. T. DTJNCOMBE,r Lord PALMERSTON said he had been misinformed with respect to the gunpowder found at Rotherhithe. He stated on a former occasion that 500 lbs. of gun powder were found upon . the premises, but it now ap peared that he was SOUTH SEA STO in makingCK that statement. The Bishop of OXFORD adverted to the different position taken up by the late Lord Chancellor from that which he hitherto occupied upon this question. He 'now advocated, under the guise of a compromise, what he had before designated as sacrilege. For the sake of the peace of our Canadian possessions—for the sake of the prosperity of the Church, he besought them to con sider whether it was not the colonists who were the per sons justly entitled to deal with this question. The Bishop of EXETER attacked the doctrines laid down by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as being closely allied to Chartism, and concluded by expressing his in tention to support the amendment. The Earl of DERBY, in reply, said that it was impos sible for himself and those who sat near him to accept the designation or the language with which it had pleased the right rev. prelate near the table (the Bishop of Ox ford) to characterise the amendment he had the honour to submit to them. He could not admit that in bring ing forward this amendment they were guilty either of shuffling or chicanery ; and he thought that the right rev. prelate would himself feel that some apology was due to the noble lords whose conduct he had so pointedly characterised. He had heard with surprise the right rev. prelate say that our interference in this matter was like the support of the Church of England in this country by the intervention of a foreign power— The Bishop of OXFORD—What I did say was, that such was the feeling of the American colonies of the im- In reply to Sir F. KELLY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ha proposed to take the report on the South Sea Stock con version bill to-night. He should afterwards lay a new clause upon the table which he should propose to intro% duce into the bill, on the motion for the third reading of the bill. The object of this clause he stated on Friday portance of self-legislation, that it bore a close analogy to what would be the feeling of the people of England if a foreign nation had, interfered, as he had described, in our affairs. The Earl of DERBY said that, while he was prepared to give the Canadian Legislature all the powers of self government or domestic legislation which they could fairly desire or could exercise, he was not prepared to say that the colony was so independent and separate from this country that we could, without a violation of our solemn duty, abandon the rights of property which we were bound to protect as long as that colony conti nued in nominal connection with this country. While they maintained to the utmost possible extent consis tently with their own position the rights of property, he asked them to concede to the Canadian Legislature all that they could concede of the rights of self-government, consistent with those principles which he for one was not prepared to surrender. (Cheers.) The Bishop of OXFORD : I must entreat your lord ships' indulgence while I briefly refer to one point in the noble earl's speech. I think your lordships must have remarked that when I made the quotation to which he has referred, I did so with a smile, and not with the in tention of applying it to noble lords opposite. I have many friends amongst them, and nothing could be further from me than the intends to say anything •ffensive to them. All that I meant to say 'was that you (the Op position) would have been defeated in a division on the second reading of the bill- on Friday evening; and that thinking you could secure the same effect as would have attended upon success then, by a judicious amendment in committee, you took that course. The Earl of DERBY rose, amidst considerable confu sion, and said : I accept, of course, at once the explana tion made by the right reverend prelate ; but when he tells me it was impossible he could mean anything offen sive because it was said with a smiling face, I hope he will excuse me for reminding him of another quotation, which appears to me to be at least as applicable as that which he used—" A. man may smile and smile, and be a villain." [Confusion, and cries of " Who says "oh ?" The Earl of CLARENDON advanced to the table, and exclaimed with vehemence, "It was me ! it was me ! " We have a right to feel offended by that expres sion. (Cheers.) We are not accustomed, my lords, to hear such expressions in this house. (Renewed cheers.) Never in this house, not even in the language of poetry, are we accustomed to hear such a word as " villain." (" Hear, hear,' and confusion.) The Earl of DERBY—I must say that the warmth of the noble earl was quite uncalled for, and the manner in which he gave expression to it unbecoming the position which he at present holds. (Oh, and renewed confu sion.) He must have heard me say, before I used the expression alluded to, that I was making a quotation in which I was quite certain that the right reverend prelate would feel I was not applying to him the expression it contained, and that I meant no personal application of the words, any more than I believe, after the explana tion he has given, that he had intended anything per sonally offensive to me. It is bootless to vent indigna tionn whe none is needed. I can assure him I had not the slightest intention of doing so, and I cannot think the feeling of the house at all joins in the somewhat singular demonstration of wasted wrath he has made. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the house divided. The numbers were : Content (for the amendment) • 78 Non-Content (against it) ll7 Majority for the Government The amendment having thus been lost, the clause was agreed to, as were the remaining clauses, and the house immediately afterwards adjourned, at a quarter before one o'clock HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the Chair at four o'clock. KNARESBOROUGH ELECTION. Mr. WALPOLE brought up the report of the Knares borough Election Committee, unseating Mr. Westhead and declaring Mr. Wood and Mr. Dent duly elected. PRIVATE BUSINESS. East and West India Docks, and Birmingham Junc tion Railway (No. 2) Bill, was read a second time. PETITIONS. Mr. E. BALL presented a petition from Cambridge shire, against the malt tax ; also a petition in favour of the ocean penny postage. Mr. THORNELY presented a petition from Wil lenball, in favour of international arbitration. Mr. A. PELLATT presented a petition from Brixton, against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday. Mr. CRAUFURD presented a petition from the cor poration of Ayr, in favour of the abolition of the Scotch University Tests. Mr. HADFIELD presented a petition from Sheffield, against the Government Scheme of Education. Mr. BRIGHT pre:•ented a petition from a public meet ing at Manchester, praying that the Government of India be carried on by ministers directly responsible to the Crown. Mr. DIVETT presented a petition from Exeter against the proposed increase in the cost of licenses to dealers in obacco and tea. Mr. LOWE presented a petition from Kidderminster against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday. Mr. IL BERKELEY presented ape the French Austrian troops. - NEW MEMBER. Lord GODERICII took the oaths and his seat for Hod dersfield. MAYO ELECTION. On the motion of Lord 11. VANE, the evidence taken before this committee was ordered to be printed. FINSBURY ELECTION. The SPEAKER said he had received a communication from Mr. Baker, the Parliamentary agent, stating that it was not intended to proceed with the petition against the return for Finsbury. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS. 1 Mr. TUFNELL asked the Secretary for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Govern ment to introduce, during the present session, any bill to extend the provisions of the acts 6 and 7 Will. 4, c. 104, 7 Will. 4, and 1 Vic. c. 78, to municipal corpora tions not included in the schedule to the Municipal Cor porations Act, 5 and 6 Will. 4, c. 76. Mr. FITZROY said it was not the intention of the Government to introduce such a measure at present, but if the right hon. gentleman would bring in a bill on the subject it would receive the best consideration of the Government.

THE T RE DU L N A e would move for the correspondence, in the possession of the Treasury, relative to Mr. Hale's invention for making rockets. DRAWBACKS ON MALT AND . TAX ON SHEP HERDS' DOGS. In reply to Mr. E. BALL, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he was afraid it was impossible, with safety to the revenue, to grantany allowance on malt used by farmers and their ser vants. With regard to the tax on shepherds' dogs, no alter ation was intended to be made. The tax was always voted in general terms, and the exemptions were matters of detail to be afterwards dealt with. THE INCOME TAX. Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in imposing the income tax on incomes of 1001. a-year, intended to include the earnings of junior members of a family, or only the wages of the husband, or the head of the family. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question was one of very great importance, but he wasnot in a condition to give a conclusive reply without looking back to see what was done under the old income tax act. Under the new act such a case had not arisen. POST-OFFICE. Mr. WARNER wished to ask the Secretary , to the Treasury, whether the Government will be willing to take into consideration the case of sorters and other per sons employed by the Post-office, not being letter car riers, with a view to increasing their pay, in cases where it may appear inadequate to the services they have to perform. LETTER CARRIERS. . _ In reply to Sir DE L. EVANS, Mr. WILSON said the Postmaster-General did no' see how it was possible, consistent with the public con venience, to comply with the prayer of a memorial which he had received for limiting the hours of letter-sorters in INDIAN TERRITORIES. In reply to Mr. DISRAELI, Lord J. RUSSELL said he would state to-morrow when he should propose to make the Government statement on the subject of Indian territories. M. KOSSUTH. On the motion for going into committee of Ways and Means, Lord D. STUART said—Before you leave the chair I wish to take the opportunity of saying a few words in connection with a subject upon which a question has been put by my hon. friend the member for Finsbury. (Oh, oh.) My hon. friend has elicited from the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Home Department, that in the statement he made to this house a few days ago, in reference to the seizure of certain ammunition or preparations for warlike purposes, my noble friend fell into a very serious error, and made a statement which he has now very frankly and properly recalled. (Hear.) But that affair has been connected by the public press with the character of an illustrious exile who has taken refuge from oppression in this free country—(hear, hear) —and it has been imputed to M. Kossuth that the stores upon the premises of Mr. Hale were intended for his use, and were, in fact, his property. It was, indeed, stated that they were found in a house of his occupancy, which is now generally known, and publicly acknow ledged, to have been wholly untrue. (Hear.) But as the character of this distinguished gentleman had been so assailed in a manner to aquire general notoriety, I know that people in the country suppose there is some foundation for the charge ; and I have often heard it said, "If this be not so, if there be no foundation for this imputation upon M. Kossuth, why does not M. Kossuth take some means of explicitly denying them l" I beg to state that upon M. Kossuth being informed of the large, and of what took place in this house, he, upon the day upon which these charges were made, did me the honour to address to me a letter, which I re ceived late at night, and which I have now in my hand. It is very short, and I will read it : " Alpha-road, St. John's-wood, April 15, 18537' " My Lord—ln answer to your kind note, I have the honour to say, that all the accusations in the Times of to day about a house in my occupation having been searched, a store of war materials belonging to me been discovered and seized, are entirely unfounded. " Not only in no house in my occupation, but also no• where else in England, could have been any store of war materials belonging to me discovered and seized, from the simple reason that I have no store of war material whatever in England. Bnt while I give this plain and flat denial to the alleged charge, I desire explicitly to be understood that I do not disavow my hostility to the oppressors of my country, but rather avow openly my determination to free my country from them. To this, my aim, I shall and will devote all my life and all my activity, and to this activity I never will recognise anyother limit but honour, morality, and the laws of that country where I happen to reside. And as it is not contrary to honour and morality to have stores of war materials, to be used when required in the service of my country, I declare that such I have, but I have them in such countries where it is lawful for me to have them, even with those intentions which I openly avow. But in England I have them not, because I have been told that some doubts may be entertained about the legality of such an act. With this explanation I repeat no store of any war material of mine could have been seized, because I do not possess, either directly or indi rectly, anything of the kind in this country.—l remain, with high regards, and particular consideration, my lord, yours respectfully, (Hear, hear.) (Signed) " L. KossuTH." The motion was then agreed to, and the house went into committee. PROPERTY AND INCOME TAX. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the following resolution : " That it is the opinion of this committee that, towards raising the supply granted to her Majesty, there shall be raised annually, during the terms hereinafter limited, the several rates and duties following (that is to say) : For and in respect of the property in any lands, 2, s. d. tenements, or horeditaments, in the united kingdom, and for and in respect of every annuity, pension, or stipend, payable by her Majesty, or out of the public revenue of the united kingdom ; and for and in respect of all interest of money, annuities, dividends, and shares of annuities, payable to any person or persons, bodies politic or corporate, companies or societies, whether corporate or not corpo rate ; and for and in respect of the annual profits or gains arising or accruing to any person or persons whatever, resident in the united kingdom, from any kind of property whatever, whether situate in the united king dom or elsewhere, or from any annuities, al lowances, or stipends, or from any profession, trade, or vocation, whether the same shall bo respectively exercised in the united kingdom or elsewhere ; and for and in respect of the annual profits or gains arising or accruing jo any person or persons not reside nt within the united kingdom from any pr o p ert y whatevern in the united kingdom, or from any trade, n or vocation exercised in the un ited Ein c' cr fe d s o s m i° ' :for every 20s. of the ann ual value or amount thereof : r 0 0 -AFonrdtzro two o r y s efarroamfiAvmprilpsn, 1 o 1 . 8 0 0 7 1 8 8 o AndAn d for that three on years Aprilfrom,slB exceptA 6o p , ril l a 7 a t h . . o . 0 0 5 collection of moneys then duo, the said rates and duties shall cease and deter- mine. rther such lands, tenements or b er editamentsp nent And for and in respect of the occupation of than a dwelling-house occupied by a e 0 "et of of the a nnual value thereof, one mor y • I of id, 6d., and distinct from a farm of lands), for every ..,os. each of the sal, sums of for the above-Darned times respectively." substituting Sir E. BTJLWER LYTTON moved as an amendment that all the words after " it is the opinion mittee" be omitted, for the purpose of " e ` o t ra ht; continuance of the income tax for seven years, and its ex tension to parties heretofore exempt from its operation, without any mitigation of the inequalities of its assess ment, are alike unjust and impolitic." eH ( ar, hear.) The hon. baronet said he should endeavour to condense as closely as possible the arguments he had to his amendment. The right hon. advance in supp or t o f gentleman (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) had informed the house that he regarded the income tax as a keystone of his financial sys tem ; but he had requested h attention too much upon hon. members not to fix their various the keystone ; he wished them rather to admire the to bear. But he sary in the first instance tB. (Sir r 3 superstructures itwas intended Lytton) thought it was neces order to see if it were susceptible examine the keystone itself, in and then they would be enabled to loorlTNavairth)rmuchanronre, ease and satisfaction at the various erections of the superstructure. (Hear, hear.) Granting that there was much in the right hon. gentleman's budget worthy of his own high reputation and of the approval of the house, granting also that an income tax might be required for a certain period to enable him to develop his financial sys tem, still one thing was perfectly clear—namely, that it was not therefore necessary that the income tax should re main in its present state, but that we might possess all the good things promised in the budget along with !those reforms in this tax which he held to be required by the general sense of the country. (Hear, hear.) This led him to the main cause of contention between the nigh honour able gentleman and most of those who had supported Lord Derby's Government; and perhaps also between 1301110 who now sat on the same side as the right honourable gent le:. tax. The man, respecting the inequalities of the in co me and ea late Government, when it was proposed to reL redition tend the income ;tax, made it an indispongsanbd they estab to remove that element of °P ut unp t o ist Y.!. - trtmetion between lished a broad and an intelligen intellect, and income income derived from procarwll s But the right h pit al . on, gentle derived from assured capl a . • ' oft t i P e 0 00, 0 g ;1.
