OVAL SURREY GARDENS.- The GUIDES' BAND by gracious permission of his Majesty Leopold the First, King of the Belgians. To commence THIS EVENING, Jaly 3,1857, and CONTINUE THREE WEEKS. PROSPEC ars. M. JULLIEN has great satisfaction in annsuncing that, after having endeavoured for the last four years to introduce the cele brated Muslim Mill'alre des tuldes da Rot des Belles to the Engli-h Pnblic, he has this year succeeded in obtaining his Majesty's gra cious permi.ision. His Majesty has ttracious y allowed this magnifi cent corps de musique to proceed to London for a very limited pert d, prior to the marri , ge of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte with his Imperial Highness the Archdu'le Maximilian of Austria. Itis unnecessary for M. Jullien to inform those of his patrons who have travelled on the Confluent of the imm•tuse and deserved repp tation of this splendid military orehestta, which is considered one of the most perfect in Europe. For the public in general, the following remarks may not be conttdere I sit pet Minus The Hand of thicniildts was in sorporated in 1831, upon the acme- Bien of his. Majesty King Leopold ; and that of the Guides Imperiaux of France Wai framed on its model, in 1852; by - his Imperial Majesty Napoleon the Third. Most of the artists comprised in this Band are punt's of the Con servatoire of Brussels, under the direction of the celebrated M. Fetis. Its perfection of ensemb!ct and the individual talent of its meTbers have been so universery a knowledge d. that for the last .twenty Years it has he n regarded as a nursery whence the orchestras of the principal musical insti utions in Europe have'd'awn their b st per formers on wind instruments. Among those artists formerly en gaged init, end who have obtained the greatest success in M,-Jul lien's Orchestra, may he c' tat the celebrated flutist Reichert, the emi nent clarionists Wuillie and tafesse the trumpet, Drtheme ; the Wench horns, Simer and Stennenbrugen ; and many others of European renown. In 'act, M. Jullien, who has heard nearly all the principal bands of the different courts of Europe, can assert, A ithout fear-of contradiction; that there are hut two which can fairly com pete with the Guides of Arum's, viz., the Banda of the Imperial Marines of Trieste. ancT the Guides Tmperiaux of Paris. The Bawl is compered of upwards of fifty artists, under the per sonal direction of their renowned conductor, L. Bender. Their engavement at the Royal Surrey Gardens veil commence on Wed- Deathly, the Ist of July when M. Jullien returns from the provittces. M. Jullien wilt be absent chitin s the short time they remain in London, but he cart estly invites his patrons, the nobility, the nubile, the press, and articularly the military authorities, to avail them selves of an opportunity which may never occur again. The ezpe-. rienee of the Allied armies during the late war indisputably proved that a pto er organisation of military hands is a matter of more im portance than some persons were disposed to think. How often was the spirit of the troops roused and elevated by the inspiring strains of manta] music, or depressed for went of such a stimulus. The influence of music in education, civilisstion, and even in politics, is not snfficiently apnreciste.l. • M. Jullien has pissed his life in studying its effect upon the pecipl s. After the continental revolutions of 1848, he witness , d, every evening. end for a consi derable period, hits great was the influence of that magnificent and immortal hymn, " God save the Queen," in consolid sting and augmenting the affection and respect of the Eng'ish na tion for their beloved Sovereign. On the other hand, he saw, amidst the unfortunate events in his own 'country, the enormous power es necised over the masses by the terrible effects of the Mar- But the present occlsion will not admit of further dissertation on the influence of the divine art over nations and their rulers. M. Jullien hopes and desires that some more ab'e pen will take up a of'suc't public importance. Meanwhile he confidently trusts that all those who feel an interest in the suhiect will, on hear ing the Guides' Band, agree with him that some improvements may be introduced in this country with reg ird to military.mosic. lii7-julllen attempted a sten towards progress in that direction, by establishing, 14 pears ago, and for the first Vme in Enzlan a mili tary journal, containing many of the hes` compositions of Beethoven, Mozart, Met , delssohn, and other great masters. It has since been received monthly 'by all the military hands in the service of her Maiesty, and. in,that of the Honourable East India Company. Aided by the late improvements in musical instruments, it "as been one of the means in effecting that visible change for the better which has already taken place. The engagement of the renowned Band of • the Guides is a furt'er Rtep in the same direction, and M. Jullien fully expects that It will be so appreciated ; as he has, personally, no other interest in the Matter than the continual progress of the art. Ile therefore hopes that all those who desire the advancement of music in all its branches will testify their approval of his conduct by supporting With their influence, and honouring with their presence, the per- Ormance of the Guides' Band at the Royal Surrey Gardens.

The hon. and learned gentleman reviewed what bad been done toward+ the consolidation of the statutes, and to the sum of 10,0001. that had been paid to Mr. B Ker, accruine, to the Commissioners for services rendered. Mr. HADFIELD seconded the mot.on. _ Sir F, KELLY communicated to the house what had been done by the Statute Law Commission since its ap pointment. .The consolidation of the statutes had for 250 years baffled the efforts of the most eminent jnri , ts of this country, but the Statute Law Commission bad succeeded in laying down a - single and comprehensive plot for accomplishing that object. The work was ac tually commenced, and was in course of successful execution by that commission which the honour able and learned gentleman called upon the house to censure and dissolve. The right hon, and learned gentleman (Sir, F. 1(slle) then referred to the nuenherof Statutes in existence ranging from the time of Magna Charts to the present day, and enumerated the lainur of the commission in classifying, dividing, and sub dividing them for their effectual consolidation. The Com mission had done much service to the country in the work they had done during the last three years, and he confidently appealed to the house for their approval of the conduct. The cumm►asion had not attempted the con solidati n of the criminal law of Ireland, in consrquence of it differing in many essentials from that of E gland, hut the commission had put it into the hands of persons capable of efficiently accomplishing it. Mr. wairE -IDE, after complimenting the last speaker on his industry and practical knowledge, said that the late A.torney-General, the Lord C . .anceltor, and the present Attorney-General had all advocated dif ferent modes of effecting this object. If it• were in tended to nice one set of statutes fur England, another for Scotland, and another Ireland, the evil, instead of being removed, would be aggrava , ed. ar, hear.) He had obtained a copy of the New Consolidated 13111 s, and had sought an opinion from a competent gentleman as to the time the work ought to occupy. He thought about two men' hs ; and be added that the plan pro ceeded on was one that would not remedy the evil corn- Wainer' of. There were no insuperable difficulties in the way of having the same criminal taw for England awf Ire land ; there were no such broad differences between he two as to require a separate set of statutes. Where laws wereconenlidated and amended, the first object ought to be to make them of general applicati in to ad parts of the country. One main difference was that cots, iracy was capital crime i❑ Ireland, and was not so in England. Why sh Sul 1 this distinction c,ntiuue? At any rate, it , vas surely not necessary that they should have separate statutes for the mercantile law. The recent Shipping Act of this country was one of the best specimens of consolidation, and the work was really well done. He should be compelled to oppose the plan of inflicting separate sets of statutes on the different branches of the empire. _ _ Sir F. KELLY said it was a part of the plan of con solidation that it should apply equally to England and Ireland, and tie reaso❑ of these fir,,t bills on the cri minal law was on account of some differences existing i❑ the Irish law which had not been taken into acc.dint. He hoped the hon. and learned gentleman would give them his assistance when the bills came befire them, in making them applicable to Ireland. Mr. BAINES said the commission was most anxious to avoid these distinctions, and to have one set of laws for E , gland, Ireland, and Scotland. There was nothing let practicable in this, and none of the exiting differences were so great as to render separate statutes necessary. It ought to be the of j,ct of ail to get rid of tho-.e diffe rences. As to the motion itself, he thought the discon tinuance of the commission would be a great public mis fortune. Mr. King had mentioned the criminal law c )intnission, and the expense it bad incurred. That com mission, though it did not result successfully in the con solidation of the statutes, had been productive of great benefit. It bad produced several valuable reports, and its labours had guided those who followed. A digest of the whole criminal law had been completed, and it was inipssitile to underrate the value of that work. Tne statute law commission, of which he had been a member 15 months, had now a greater prospect than ever - cf bringing their labours to a successful issue. No man more deserved the thanks of the country on this question than Lord Br.lugbarn, and he had declared in reference to the bills recently introduced by the Lord Chancellor in the o'ber house that he entirely approved of the cour , e taken, that great misrepresentations had been made as to the statute law commission, and that Mr. Bcllendeu Ker, Mr. Coulson, and Sir F. Krlly were eminently en t tied to the thanks of the country. This was the opinion of the man best qualified to form a judgment, given only ten days agl, and yet the house was now asked to vote for the di•contiouance of the commission. Lord Wen - leydale now regularly attended that commission, and ,e -perintended some of the bills ; so did Vice-Chancellor Wood, and so far from thinking that the commission was of no use, they were evidently anxious to promo's i s labours all in their power. Seeing that between 40 and 50 bids had been a:realy prepared, and would sh,,rtly be before Parliament, nothing could be more ra,h than to agree to the motion proposed. The establishment of a [idolater of justice—a suhj -at of very gr..at ditlizulty bad recently been confodered, and until this impirt:int question was decided, he hoped the house would nut ask for the abandenment of the commission. Mr. N4PIER sa'd that at the request of the commis sioners he had turnAii-d them a plan of v.hat he thou : 4lA would be the bevt means of carrying out the tichetne with regard to Ireland. His views were not adopted, and think in,!. that he could do no good, he did ❑ot Inter! , ra with the bills that were sent over to Ireland. Onegreat c tion to the comteibsion wa-., that there was no respon- ible person who could devote his whole time and a . ten . . . lion to the bn. loess. There was no controlling mind to take the direction. H s hon. and learned friend (sir F. Kelly) was an invaluable member of the commission, but with his exten -ive enga..ernents he could no - , po i ly devote much time to it. He was in hopes that a depart ment would soon be constructel in Ireland, under the auspices of the Government and the Attorney-General, which woul•f give effective aid in the cinsolniation of th- Aatutes, which ought to be done so as not only to get rid of obsolete statutes, but to adapt the whole law to the spirit of the times. (Hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that a more unreasonable proposition—to cut down the tree at the moment when it was about to bear fruit—c ul t hardly have been submitted to any assembly ; nor anything more impatient than that, on a suhj •ct like this, they should expect not only a plan matured, but actually carried int.) operation, in the abort time that had been allowed to the cominision. (Hear.) Tne coal rni-sion, it should be remembered, was not able to sit de die in diem; it was composed principally of the most important legal functionaries in the kingdom, most of whom were so fully occupied that they could not devote more than a few hours ip a week to this important work. There was no sulject on which he felt more anxious, and to which he held himself more fully pledged, than the prosecution of the engagement which be consid• red had been formed by the Government to carry into effect the formation of a department of public justice He bad, with considerable dlfficuity, prepared a plan on the sub j.!ct great part of which was now before the Government for their consideration ; and he hoped the plan would be matured in t'rne to be made public before the end of the ,ession. That was an additional reason why Mr. King should consent to withdraw the motion he had now made. (Hear.) Lord J RUSSELL said he did not think the propo sition of his hon. friend was so entirely absurd as the t ,N DON, FRIDAY EVENIN G, J ULY 3, 1857. EAST INDIA lIMJSuI, IsT JULy, 1857.

To be had of the ,Inventor, GABRIEL JOZEAU, French chemist, 49, Haymarket, London, and sil the principal chemists. proposed to enact that the marriage of persons who had divorc'ed on account of their own adultery should take place at a registry-office. The effect of this would be that the parties could, if they pleased, hare the religious cere mony performed afterwards, but it would not be corn puliory upon any clergyman to celebrate their marriage. They roust find some person who bad no objection to perform such a ceremony, and whose conscience, there fore, would net be violated by its performance. He did not think that, this would impose hardship upon any one ; on the contrary, it , would afford great relief to those to whom otherwise. a great injury would be done.- It had bee❑ said that Ritherto no clergyman had objected to marry divorced poisons; but no great weight was to be given to this objection, because the cases in which such marriages had taken plates - were but few, and it was only during the discussion of the measure now before Parliament that this question had taken a deep hold of the public mino. Under these circum stances, he moved thet the bill should be lead a second time. - The LORD CHANCELLOR said be thought there were a great many reasons why their lordships should not agree to the nioticn of his noble friend, but surely it was an all-sufficient reason that he was now proposing for the fourth time that which had, within the last two or three weeks, been three times rejected by their lord ships. A proposal of precisely the same effect was made while the Divorce Bi I was under their lordsh . ps' consi deration. Indeed, that proposal had the a lvantage of this measure, because it was more consistent, and met the whole case. This bill only went half-way. It was said teat a great number of clergymen considered mar riage indissoluble, and therefore ought not to be called upon to re-marry any person oho bad been divorced, whether innocent or guilty. The amendment moved by the noble earl to his left (Earl Nelson) went to that ex tent,_and therefore, if assented to, would hive removed the whole of this, as he believed, imaginary grievance. It was three times decided by their lordships that it was not right to interfere in such a ctsse, and that, he thought, was of itself a sufficient reason why this bill should not be read a second time. TLere were, however, other reasons which would, he hoped, induce their lordships to pause before assenting to . anything which would establish' so strange a precedent as that involved in this bill, His noble friend proposed that a certain form- of marriage should be adopted for persons who had been divorced. Suppose the bill now before the other House of Parliament did not pass into a law, the consequence would be teat, as the only divorced persons known to the law were those divorced by the ecclesiasti cal courts, all such persons might be married under this bill. It was true that that objection might be removed by altering the wording of the measure ;, but how would this bill apply to marriages dissolved by special acts of Parliament? The matter would, he admitted, be open to argument, but he believed that the effect of this bill would he to after the provisions'of all previous ate which had authorised marriage in any mode. If the bill now be fore the other house did not pass, this measure would have no effect upon subsequent acts of Parliament dis solving marriages, because when such an act said that it shotild be lawful for the parties to marry again that would mean as other persons could. _Under these circuinstanbe§ he hoped their I..rdships would refuse to give a aeoond reading to this bill. The noble and learned lord concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time on that day.six months. Lord CAMPBELLihought the proposal of the noble lord wliolly unparbamentary and unprecedented. A bill which embraced the whole of this subject, and from which this prevision had been excluded, had been /Treed to by their lordships, and sent down to the other house, and would be taken into consi , leration there. If the other house thought this particular provision a fair and just one they would insert it in the bill ; but it would be a very extraordinary mode of procedure to send down a rider to that bill in the shape of a propesition which their lordships had already rejected two or three times. He was very much surprised that his noble friend, the great lord of order in their lordships' house, to whom they all looked up in matters of procedure, should have made such a proposition. The . .A.Chbishop of CANTERBURY said that if on any 'point of order, as hal been stated by the noble and learned lord, there were a constitutional objection to this bill, it would, of course, be unnecessary and improper to urge it upon Vitir lordships. But he must express his earnest hope-that in this or some other mode,,eit . ' er in this or in the other house, some relief might he afforded to the clergy, who were serious'y affected by the matter to which it referred. Tt ere was nothing in the principle of the bid which compromise 1 their lordships by interfer ing with. what they had already determined— , nothing 'which was inconsi'ent with their conduct on other occa sions. It was now 20 years since some of those who dise sented from the Church made a loud complaint that they were furred to cal hrate their marriages according to a erviee which differed from their religious opinions; har 1( r !skin= judgeci the complaint to be reasonable, and gave a'reruedy—a remedy wroch completely altered thee vvlat;le law of marriage. The clergy of the Church now complain that they might tic obliged by law to per:: Corm a service which alley believed to be inconsistent with the ayine command. He would not now discuss the question %kir titer they gave a right interpretation to the Scripture ; but he ma ntaite I that as long as the same words remained in Scripture there would always be many who would so interpret them. Surely it was not unreasonable to require that persons contracting mar riage under the circumstances contemplated in the Divorce Bill now before the House of Commons should be satisfied with a civil contract, content with the pr ivi lege of a legal marriage and a legitimate issue. The case became much stronger by the B emire of the marriage service. He was unwilling to allude more particularly to that service; indeed, it could hardly be done in connexion with this subject without the appearance of profaneness. But their lordships would remember that the service as sumed, in solemn terms, the divine approval of the mar riage, and that it was divinely orders 1. It was ilty true pass that ion , charity hopeth all things ; but it o s,ed over the b oun d s of charity t ) pronounce, ex cathedra, the divine approval of a marriage which bad its origin in a guilty and was brought about by a heinous crime. For these reasons he trusted that the consciences of the clergy might not suffer under this trouble, but that, either through this present bill or in some futureclau n s:o h f i t r h m e Marriage arid Divorce Bill, a remedy would be found. Lord REDESDALE, in reply, said that wodld be inflicted on any person by the passing of this bill. It was a great wantonness of tyranny to compel the clergy to perform these marriages against their own conscience,.. Their lordships then divided, and the numbers were— For the second reading— Contents 23 Not content Majority against the second reading —39 ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. round that the bill Lord cla siire. L I' EONARDS, on the g s would Interfere very materially with the law affecting charities, and would ereate a distinction that ought not to exist between Roman Catholic property and that of other denominations, moved tbat ttie bill be referred to a select committee. 'The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted that the bill was one that was deserving of discussion, but he con ceived such discussion could be carried on better in the house than by a select committee sitting upstairs. The Duke of NORFOLK thought that the bill should be referred to a select committee. lie had a number of amendments to propose, and he believed that other noble lords had given notice of some new clauses. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that after the state ment of the noble duke he would not ask their lordships to proceed further with the bill at the present moment. The bill was then reported, and referred to a select committee posal of the Danish Government to the favourable con sideration of Parliament. That proposal was the one which bad been accepted. The convention had been signed by 12 or 13 States, all of them having a direct interest in the trade of the Baltie, and there was every reason to think that the proposMon of the Danish Go vernment was just and equitahle, and that the assess ment of the indemnity was fair to-all parties. He be lieved that the arrangemen'; which had been made would be very beneficial to British shipping, which was more concerned in the trade of the Baltic than that of any other nation. It was right, also, to mention that in April last the United States' Government entered into s. treaty with Denmark, agreeing to pay its fair share of the compensation, and tbal nothing could be more hon ourable than its conduct throughout the negotiations. He might likewise state that, although by treaty the Sound Dues were to cease and determine from and after let April last, yet, owing to the dissolution of Parlia ment and other causes, delay had arisen in the fulfilment of one part of the agreement. Nevertheless, the Danish Government had not levied any tolls whatever since the let April;nor placed any impediment in the way of our trade in the Baltic. There was one other fact which he might mention to their lordships, viz., that it was not the intention of the Danish Government to remit any portion'of this money to Denmark ; but for objects of their own the whole of the amount would be invested in this country. The Bill was then read a second time. • POLICE (SCOTLAND) BILL. Their 1-rdships went into committee on this bill. Lord PANNIURE said that this biil was - similar in principle to the Police-Bill for England passed last ses sion. Some of the Scotch counties had a police force, but others bad neglected to avail themselves of the op. portunity, and the bill enabled boroughs and districts to combine f)r the purpose of maintaining an efficient constabulary force. The Secretary of State would lay down roles as in England for the pay and clothing of the force, and the same proportion of one-fourth of the ex penditure would be defrayed out of the public sv,he quf r. The bill bad been referred to a select committee of their brdships, who had given valuable assistance in putting it into proper shape. The Duke of BUCCLEUCEI regarded the bill as one of great importance, for the inconvenience was very great of having a constabulary force in some of the Scotch counties and not in others. A. power was given to the Secretary of State to enforce the building of a lock-hp house and stations, but he believed it would be found that sufficient provision was made herein under the Prisons Art. L .rd CAMPBELL had no doubt this was an excel lent Bill, and that Scotland was very much indebted to his noble friend for bringing •it in. It was very credit able to the Scotch peers and members of Parliament that they met and laid their heads together and came to a sensible decision upon Scotch Bill; before they came under discussion in Parliament. He hoped that occa sion would be taken either to abolish " rogue money' or to give it a more creditable name. He remembered for eraimple, that when a monument was erected to a most meritorious public servant the balance that remained to be defrayed was paid out.of "rogue money." (A. laugh.) Upon another occasion the dinner bill of some commis sioners was defrayed out of the same questionable source. laugh.) The bill then went through committee. The Grand Juries (Inland) Act (1836) Ainendment Bill, the Insurance on Lives (Abatement of Income-tax) C .ntinuance Bill, the Joint-Stock Companies Act Amendment Bill, and the Town Bylaws'. Revision 11:11 were respectively read a third time and ,passed. The Portland Harbour Bill, the Criath em Lands, &c., Bil►, and the Militia (Ireland) Act (1864) Amendment Bid were severally read a second time. CONSOLIDATED FUND (8.000,0001.3 BILL. This bill was also read a second time and passed through its remaining stages, the standing orders having been suspended in its regard. . The Dulwich College Bill, the Ozrord University Bill, the Turnpike Trusts' Arrangement 131 , 1, and the Hanley Borough Incorporation Bill passed through com•nittee SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS, 86c., PREVENTION IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YEsTERDAY.)

ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET. The Marquis of SALISBURY begged to ask the noble earl oppoAite the reason why the office of Admiral of the Fleet had not been filled. It was a matter of sur prise to a great number of persims why the oldest and mot distingui-hed admiral on the list had not been ap pointed to the vacant office. Earl GRANVILLE dissented from the practice that had arisen of putting questions to the Government when a certain person wqi not promoted. He did not think it would be for the benefit of the rervice that Parliament should dictate to her Ma jesty's Government the parties that should he promoted. There might arise cases in which Parliament might in terfere and call -upon the Government for explana tions on account of certain appointments—(hear, hear) but as a practice it was very objectionable that questions sh9ul.l be asked in that house why certain parties were not appointed to particular offic. The Doke of NORTRUMBERLAND said the office of Admiral of the . Fleet was considered to be the only prize in the navy ; it was therefore, he thought, a, case in which inquiry might be made, why the oldest admiral was not appointed to the vacant office. _ _ . . Earl GRANVILLE said he thoughtit undesirable to answer the question. The subjart then dropped. _ PRIVATE BUSINEiS. _ On the motion of ..I,lrd REDESD A LE the following bills were read a second time :—Wearmouth Bridge Ferries and Approaches, Cardigan Markets and Itu provenaents, Ely Valley Railway, Baron Windsor's Estate, South Durham and Lancashire - Union Railway, Wimbledon and Dorking Railway, Duke of Bridge water's Estate BM, and Mansfield and Worksop Road GREAT NbIqHERIsI' B RILWAY (CAPITAL) Oa the motion that the bill• be read a second time. Lord ST. LEONARDS drew the attention of their lordships to the-hardship the present bill 'entailed 'on the preference shareholders, who, by one of the provisions, were prevented from receiving the dividends to which they were justly entitled. It was exceedingly hard that persons who had invested their money in a company, ehould, in consequence of a fraud having been committed by a c!erk in that company, be subject to the provi,ions of this measure, which was one to legalise the acts of the directors, who, since the Redpath frauds had been discovered, sought to throw the loss on the share holders generally; but the petition which he held in his hand, and which he begged to present.to their lordships, prayed the house not to pass the hill, as the petitioners contended that they as preference shareholders, ought not to be called upon to contribute towards making good the loss those frauds had entailed on the company. After a few words from Lord WENSLEYDALE the bill w as read a second time. ADULTERER'S MARRIAGE BILL. Lord REDESDALE, ie moving the second reading of this bill, said that in order to remove the objection which had been taken to one of the ame n dm en ts moved riming the recent disen - sion on the Divorce B:11, that it would be unjust to require an injured husband or wife to be married before a registrar, he had confined the opera tion of this measure to the guilty parties. He simply BILL. L'rd CAMPBELL gave notice that he should to morrow (this day) move the committal of this bill, in pasAng which he hoped to have the support of the right rev. bench, whose sacred calling led them to take so deep an interest in improving the morals of the people. The house adjourned at 20 minutes past 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPELKEE took the chair at four o'clock. ELECTION PETITIONS. The Committees appointed to gerve on the Maidstone, Oxford (City), Tewkesbury, and Bury (Lancashire) elec tion p.titions were sworn at the table of the house. The Burial of the Dead within the City and Liberties of London ;- East Somerset Raftway_; Great Northern and Western of Ireland Railway ; London (City) Coal Duties; Mallow and Fermoy and Great Soutn.rn and Wester n Railways; Milford Improvement; New Brunswick and Ca nada Railway and Land Company ; Newquay Pier and Harbour and'Rail way ; Oldham, Ashton under, Lyne, and Guide Bridge Junction Railways ; Sittingbourne and Sheerness Railway ; Wexford Free Bridge, and Work sop and Atterclitfe Road Bills were read a third time and passed. The Clyde Navigation ; Lowestoft and Burgh Saint Peter Ferry and Roads; Salford Thron z h (No. 1) ; Stockport, Linsley, and Whaley Bridge Railway"; and Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway Bilis were further considered and ordered to be read a third time. PAPER DUTY. Mr. RICARDO asked the Chancelh.r or the Exche quer whether the Government would consider the ques tion of granting a drawback of duty on tissue paper in the pottery manufacture, as in the case of the jacquard loom cards? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had communicated with the Inland Revenue, and found that the grounds for the drawback in the jacquard loom car is did not apply to the paper used in earthenware manufacture, and it would not be in his power to reco►umend the drawback asked fort NEW WRITS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that in al! Cases when the seat of any member had been declared void by an election committee, on the grounds of bribery or treat ing, no motion for the issuing of a new writ should be made without seven days' previous notice being given in the votes, The SPEAKER said that he did not think the hon. member could claim the right of " privilege" to bring on the motion at that hour. It might be brought on in due course of his due notice. It was for the house to decide whether it should be taken. Mr. DUNCOMBE said that be did not claim to make the motion as a matter of privilege. (Hear, bear.) He thought it less objectionable to pass the motion then than at a future period, when it might be construed into a personal matter. Sir J. GRAHAM rose to order. He thought the house ought to desist from allowing this motion to be proceeded with—(hear, hear)—especially in the absence of the First Lord of the Treasury, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that orders of the day, on Thursdays, by a resolution of the house, had precedence of notices of motion, and therefore it was desirable that the motion should be postponed. _ . Lord J. RUSSELL submitted to the house whether it would not be better to be made an order of the day for to-morrow at half past four o'clock. It was better to discuss the matter before any vacancy took place under either of the election committees, when such a reso lution would be open to be considered as a personal matter. After some remarks from Mr. DISRAELI, Mr. LABOUCLiERE, on the part of the Govern ment, acceded to the suggestion of the noble lord VA member for London. Mr. DUNCOMBE said that he would rather the Go vernment took the matter out of hi.t band. The motion was postponed accordingly. APPOINTMENTS TO THE DIPLOMATIC, &c., SERVICES. Mr. W. EWART inquired of the First Lord of the Treasury whether the system of exa'nination proposed for candidates in the diplomatic and consular services had been adopted, or was in course of adoption ; and whether there would be any objection to lay bef , re Par liainent a statement showing the nature and subjects of such examination I 'ftie C EIANC ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the correspondence alluded to was laid bet ‘ire Parliamen', and printed in 1856. It was published in the report of the Civil Service Commission also in 1856, and since further information had been printed. RETURNS. Several unopposed returns were ordered. EDUCATION OF SOLDIERS. On the motion for the house going into Committee of Supply► WARREN called the attention of the house to a general order issued by his R.,yal Highness the Commander-in Chief on the 19th June, directing that for the future every soldier, after being dismissed from drill, should attend school as a duty until he was re ported as sufficiently advanced in reading, writing. and arithmetic. With the concurrence of the Secretary of State for War no fees were to be required for this attendance at school. Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the subject to which the hon. and I,arned member for Midhurst bad referred was onn of great importance, and though the Government had been advised that the order in question did not violate any provision of the law, yet they were of opinion that it was not desirable to perpetuate the objections to its continuance. He was able to state that his Royal Highness the Commander inChief had regulated the order in question, and had issued rdsother in which the objectionable clause had been withdrawn and another substituted, cal irn! upon officers of regiments to offer every encouragement to the soldier to avail himself of the facilities of attend ing these schools. (Hear, hear.) STATUTE LAW COMMISSION. ..,....._ _ Mr. L. KING called the attention of the house to the large sums of public money which had been expended by the Criminal and Statute LAW Commissions, without THE SOUND DUES BILL. The Earl of CLARENDON , who was very imper fectly heard, was understood to say that in rising to move the second reading of the Sound Dues , bill he would not detain their lordships by many observations. The Sound Dues,, as their lordships were aware, arose from the right inherent in every Power to impose duties or taxes on the commerce carried on within its own juris diction. • They bad been asiknowledged b y a ll mar i t i me nation s in various treaties, which had formed part of the international law of Europe, for upwards of, 300 years. The first treaty made between England and Denmark on the subject of these dues bore date of 1491. As com merce increased the inconvenience of the tax became ap parent, and for many years past attempts had been made to get i id of it by means of compensation. At the beginning of last year the Government of the United States gave no tice that they would no longer pay the dues. Communi cations then took place between the Danish Government and the various States inter e sted in the matter. A con ference was held at Copenhagen, and the Danish Govern ment proposed to abolish the dues upon the payment of compensation to the amount of 3 , 8 90,0001., which was apportioned among the di ffe rent Sates according to data furnished by the Dani -h Govern ment, o f t h e accuracy of which there was no doubt. This led to a treaty which was signed in March last by her Majesty's Government. By that treaty the amount of the payment to be made by England was fixed at 1,125.000/. The Danish Govern ment oleo consented to reduce the transit dues over the difficulty, and led to considerable discussion, the Danish Holstein railways. This, t however, herightotti l i v e as a other matt e r S t ates Government denying terfere with the management of the Holstein railways, which was simp'y a riot of internal administration. But the other States contended that they were entitled to insist upon a reduction of these dues, inasmuch as they bad been imposed for the purpose of compelling goods to be carried by way of the Baltic instead of by railways, and so of facilitating the collection of the Sound Dues, and the result' was that the Danish Government consented to reduce the transit dues by four-fifths. The amount of Sound Dues paid by England was about 75,0001. per annum ; but, ac cording to the statements of the witnesses examined before a committee of the House of Commons which sat last year. and especially those of her Majesty's Mini ster at Copenhagen, the loss cccasioned by the collection of the tax in the detention of vessels and the necessaiy payinent of Leavy local charges amounted to a much larger sum, one Or the witnesses computing it at 200,0001. a-year. The committee of the House of Comtisons to which he had referred reported in. favour of the aboli tion of the Sound Dues, and recommended the pro. ititorney-Genend seemed to suppose. He fAt some diffi culty on the sulject himself, because when the question was broaght forward last year and opposed on the ground just stated by the Attorney-General, the then. Attorney-General, the present, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, went away from the division and did not vote at all. There must, therefore, be some ground for saying that the commisssion was not very useful when the Attorney-Genenl of that day did not venture to sup port it. He was still prepared to give further time to the Government, but still he thought the question did riot stand in a v-ry satisfactory posiion. (Hear.) What had been said by the right lion. and learned gentleman op posite was just that it was well to have a commission which should prepare a consolidation of the law ; but unless there teas some person sitting in that house to bring in the bills, and prepared to show the reasons for the different clauses, there was little use in preparing such bills. (Hear.) It had been said that there were a set of bills in the criminal law before t! ea other flou-e of Parliament ; but it was not likely that these is wou'd come down to this house in sufficient time for their Ven turing to pass them. It appeared to him that the use of these commissioners was to enable pereone hot 'ing th e proper offices to avail themselves of their learning and experience, with a view to the p re p aration and brie gro g before Pailiaineet bill , in a proper shape. That was the course he took in 1837, when he had to propose bills t ► the house. He collected these gentlemen in the Heine , ffice, sat with them several days, and went through the different proposals with them. Having done that he brought in these bills, which made a considerable change iu the criminal law, and they were now the law of the land. It struck him that the Lord Chancellor spoke pre maturely when he talked of a speedy eenselidatie n of the l aw . For instance, those who drew the acts relating to breaches of trusts and frauds had different views of the different kinds of frauds, and sometimes different views ef the same fraud ; there were different penalties and different modes of conviction ; and this being the case, ;t seemed to him that it they were to put these various acts together, they would have not only an incongruous, but a contradictory, mass. In his opinion, therefore, the present tiiLe was not a time for a consolidation, but for an amendment of the law. (Hear.) The House of Lords had sent them two bills, which, be trusted, with some alterations and amendments, would pass into a law. Two more important subjects than those of testamentary jurisdictb.n and divorce could hardly be touched by le gislation. These bills had been worked up by the House of Lords putting itself under - the guidance and advice of such able and experienced men as Lords Brougham , fey ndhur-t, and St. Leonards, and others, and trained in such a manner as to amend the la,w of the country. Tr.; was the first thing required. Other laws also required amendment before they could come to conselidation. It they came to consolidate prematurely, be believed that a great many acts would be consolidated which should • _.., aVv)y7 - <.,:.,( • -=,- - -4x,,5,v,-.e..4. • 4 ; t , T4,71 ~ - L , -;'_'- , f -il .

Si far he agreed•with the right hon. gentlemae opposite (Ntr, Napier);, but he'did not know whether the right hon. gentleman wouldagre in what he was now going to say. No doubt the ap point tent of a m nist , r of justice might be attended with considerable expense ; but by abolishing the lord lieutenancy of Ireland be thought sufficient means might be found to defray the txpense. (Hear.) He thought th time was come when stunt a reform might be made, -- and a minister of jure ice app inted. He would not vote for the motion of his hon. friend, but he thought his hon. friend had good reason for again asking what were the grounds for the existence of this commission. (Hear.) After a few words from Mr. HADFIELD, the Motion was negatived without a division. THE COMPETITION FOR THE PUBLIC OFFICES. Mr. B. HOPE rose for the purpose of calling the at tention of the house to the award of the judges, of the competition for the public offices, which appeared in slt He had not the least inten the jeurnele of yesterday, tion of finding fault with the decision of the jedees, and he theught the Government deserved great praise for submitting th plans to coin petition ; but he must say the competition was hurried nn with too much baste. He was clad that foreigners had been admilted to compete, and that a foreigner had met with justice from English judge'. That block plan, which obtained the first prize, cave a bold and ingenious method of distributing the area. It was firmed on the oblong plan of the Louvre; but hoiv the prize plan of the War-office and the prize plan of the Foreign-office could be adjusted to that block plan, and how they could be made to correspond, would puzzle the practical heads who would have to consider the question. The block plan should have been first settled and decided upon before the plans for the two offices. London possessed the most magnificent park area in the world freer Kendegton-gardens to St James's Park, and what should be done was this. The block of houses; which they were about to purchtve fir the purpose of erecting these G ivernment offices should be purchased for the purpose of extendieg the park to the river side. They would the . have tine of the finest prospects of St. Paul's aid the numerous spires of the city. There was sufficient vane for the new officus in the parade and ground a jelning. The present plan once adopted, the best opportunity of making London what it ought to be would be 1 itit for ever. The question whether their parks were to be made the marvel of the worl t was involved in the deci-ioa, and he trusted that the present opp rtunity would not be lost. Sir B. HALL said th- report of the judges bad only been receiveti oil Monday ever.ine, and on Tuesday it was laid on the table of the house. He thought it would be much bet , er it his hon. friend deferred his observations tilt it bad been printed and circulated amongst the mem bere. Tie judges were unaehnous as to the designs se lected. When the subject was first started a number of architects called on him and asked him to name a mixed commission to judge of the designs. He determined that one member of the House of Lords and one member of the H ,use of Cerninens should he on the commission, and with them he associated Lord Eversley, the late Speaker of the House of Commons. (Hear.) There were tour geetleteen co :nested with scientific societies. The judges therefore were the Duke of Buccleuch ; Mr. Stir le,g, member for Perthshire; Lord Eversley, Earl Stan hope, preodeet of the Society of Antiquaries ; Mr. Brunel. who represented the Civil Engineers ; Mr. Ro berts, who represented the Roeal Academy ; and Mr. Burns, who represented the Architects. In consequence of pressing business in Scotland, the Duke of Buccleuch was obliged to give up attending the meetings of the commission, and he resigned. Tney all knew the sad event that prevented Lord Eversley from attending the last meeting—(hear)—'cut he had a letter from his noble friend stating thee he entirely concurred in the se)ection of the three first designs which were selected for pr zee. The course he proposed to take with regard to these designs was this :—A great number of models had been sent in for the Wellingtori monument-50 from British and 40 from foreign artists. At soon as they were set up in Westminster Hall the designs of the three prizes would be fixed in the hall, so as t, give the members of the two houses of Parliament and the public an opportunity of considering them. His eon. friend took a different and perhaps a more enlarged view of this question tlan he did. No doubt his view, if carried out, would give as fine a scene as could bee conceived for any metropolis ; but looking at the House of Commons— (laughtee)— aed to the vote come to the other evening, be did not think such a scheme as that would meet with much suc cess. It would add 1,500,000/. to the amount which would be required. He had contented himself with taking a smalier portion of ground than his hoe, friend proposed to take. If the prize plans - were not disapproved of by the members of the Legislature and the public, he should endeavour, during the recess, to get estimates, as near aecould be given, of the interior arrangements of the Foreign-office and SVsr-office. He then proposed to have drawings made, which would be placed in the hands of the mest eminent builders, who were to state what would he the ultjmate cost of these erections. Ile saw no reason why a person holding the office he did snouel not be able, by the exercise of common, sense and judgment, and taking those preliminary precautions which gerele men ecercised when they erected buildings for them selves, to give something like a guarantee that the build ing should be erected for a certain definite sum, besides a emu to meet oreinary contisgoncies. That was the course he proposed to take, and he hoped it would be acceptable to the house. (Rear.) Mr. BRISCOE suggested that in addition to the plans models sttoul i be prepared, as they would enable the public to judge correctly of the designs. Mr. BAIL LIE wished to know what were the inten tions of Government with regard te Westminster-bridge? Sir B. HALL hail stated some time ago that when he received the answer 01 the judge., he would take into coeeideration what was to be done about the bridge. He hoped next week to be able to state their intentions. Mr. R. D. MANGLES admitted it was very desirable to tnrow open the Thames to the park, but before they could do so with any comfort or decency they should purity the river. It was impossible to speak in language suffi ciently stroug of the present aboininatioes—it was ifla pos,it.le for any man wh ) had any regard for his comfort or his nose to travel on it ; he bad occasion to come up by host on one ef the late hot days, anti when the stream was st teed up, the stench, not merely at the points where the dra'ne emptied, but from end to end was so abomi nable, and the odour so bed, that it was absolutely dan gerous to beulth. lie was determined never to travel fey it in summer again, and he understood that the hen. member far Richmond (Mr. Rich) was made seriously ill last year by a single voyage. (Laughter.) It was a scandal to have such a mawnificent river turned into an open sewer. (Hear, beer.) He trusted vigorous measures ee uld be taken to remedy the evil, and no expense would he too great to attain that object. Sir J. SHELLEY wished to know when the Chief Comini.sioner of Works wool I return the sewage plane to the Metropolitan Board of Works ? Sir B. HALL said he would do so as soon as the pleats prepared by the Beard of Works for diverting the sewage from the river by making an intercepting sewer were bud bet we him, : s required by the act. He had re ferred them to a commission of three engineers, includ ing Captain Galton and Mr. Simpson. He had seen one of those gentleman a few days ago, and he was in. farmed they had taken a great deal of evidence, and hoped to have their report ready in about a fortnight. The moment he received it be would forward it to the board, and also lay a copy on the table of the house. Lord ELOHO hoped some steps would be taken to improve the opposite side of the river. The block of buildings there was a perfect disgrace to the metropolis. He would suggest that the Government should endea vour to buy up the property, aed no doubt when trio imerevements at this side were completed the property wool I then r.se so much in value that a ltrge profit might be expected. - - ' Tne subject then dropped, au' the house went into c ,rumittee. SUPPLY. On the first vote, 46,4001. for salaries and expenses of British Museum, Lord J. RUSSELL said it was his duty to propose the vote, in , accordance with the usual practice that one of the trustees should do so. The trustees, as the committee was aware, were constituted by act of Parlia ment, some were official, some n ominated, and others family, as representing different donors to the institu tion. The sum now asked was 46,4001.. which added to the vote of last pepsine, would make the total expen diture of the year 66,4001, being an increa-e of 6,4001. aafropi ircfneugibn:i nid,ntbsii,chn:ttsriu, tgo:hriaireoe.tesan.;ae: dy,t,i,oia,ancfltaoth6t i gh l ieoeueeo d elfirsa.re t se t to e , n„dti,o "salaries" t house th e e x , e n s e 0 , „ on that of the previous year.

The great increase in the item of salaries was owing to the increase of the Museum and the open. ins of the New Reading Room. The committee was aware that some time back, alter much discussion and consideration, a sum of 150,0001 was voted for the pun- pose of increasing the space for the library and giving sufficient room to students ; in pursuance of that vote • building of great beauty and magnificence had been erected ; the dome exceeded that of St. Peter's in dia. meter by one foot. A matter, however, of even more iiupor atice than its beauty was the great a mount of con. venience it afforded. The tables were so arranged Si. to r she e m i ght yea pear provide most convenient seats tor 300 p er e ons ; there wail room round the waits for 80, 000 v.lumes, but in the Hl aces ..round the building o call them, there were about twenty five mil es o f year the numb er already p was very great.

The museum bad also been adapted for re ceiving additions to the collection of antiquities, and very large additions bad been made to the Assyrian, Greek and Roman collections. The Natural History cAlection had also been increased to a very large extent. The question bad also been raised whether all these :olleettun s should be retained in one place.
