London, &c., he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of die ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phys•csl c -ndition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, abov all that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or funct is e s derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

They so ,erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or .ecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. fhb method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful ,neration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the moat econo nical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible.

THIS Company was Established in 1844, for the rurpose of opening to the pir lic an east - and unquestion ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of lute res'. The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi nary Banks in the mode of employing capital•—money deposited with this 'Company being principally lent upon well secured Life Interests, Reversions in the Government , unds, or other property of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately convertible, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit, combined with the - most perfect safety. Further, Loans made by the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre mium which secures the validity of the Policy against every pos sible con ingency. Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising front the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of managenlent. DEPOSIT Acconyrs may be opened with sums of any amount, and increaled from time to time, at the convenience of depositors• A• receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de posited.

The Directors are ready to receive proposals for insuring every description of Property in Great Britain and Ireland, including hips in dock, rent of houses, loss by fire from lightning, and fann ing stock. aware that the power was at an end. There was also a clause which provided that if the trustees acted under the opinion 'of Queen's counsel they should be absolved from responsibility by taking. that opinion. These &ad - see - referred to acts of omisision. He proposed in cases where trustees ought to convert' property that they should not be responsible where they had acted innocently. He held .that persona 'benefleisry inter ested a remainder ought .to look after the pre party and do their best to protect an innocent trustee in the execution of his duty. Difficulties sometimes arose in respect to executors and administrators being sued for debitedife•by the testator, after they paid over the funds into the hands of the legatee's. -He proposed to relieve executors being responsible to such ereditere, if he took the same Reps which the coUrt,would have taken if he had filed a bill—namely, advertise a certain day, before which all Pr - editors must come in or be excluded. It was most unjust to make a man who l:ed honestly paid every shilling of4he funds illiiii - hands; liable to creditors who had eillected to present their bills before payrut nt of the legatee's: There was else other Pint to' deal with Where 'caws arose which 'at preeenkohliged trustees, to file hi 1. in,Cbancery, he proposed, to.give him the summary power to goto jiidge's chambers,, and take his opiuion on the point-which had arisen in his admieistration. That enact went would save numerous suits, and prevent all quar rels, and be a great relief to persons acting as trustees. Those were the main provislons'of the bill which he pro ' posed - to rty Orethe table of their lordships' house. It was an attempt to grapple with evils which no man had hitherto made. He trusted that the measure would be found on Consideratien to do something towards meeting the exigencies of the case. (Hear.) • L rd BROUGHANI, , though pleased with' the general measure, objected tonertaiii points. He was glad that a greet blst in the English law would be soon removed— . viz., tbat‘the fact of trusteeship in place of . an aggrava tion. was ,actually a defenoe against any action or prolie cution.for making away with trust funds. He had be fore mentioned a case where a person of high rank had appropriated, the fortunes of the infants entrusted to his guardianship, and dying iniolvent, left them on the pa rich. In Ireland a judge had eommitted the same rob bery, and sacrificed his infant wards. A committee of-the Law Reform. Society had .made inquiries, and found -breaches of trust to. be eo numerous, that not less than _one-twentieth of all trust property was said to be' made , away with by those entrusted with it. He proposed that the Bankers' Act should be extended to stewards, bailiffs, agents, and all parties standing in the relation of bankers to a_trust fund. This plan might in clude the directors of public companies. They must be careful, however, that in their efforts to remedy the present disgraceful state of the , law, they did not injure innocent trustees, and thus prevent respectable persons from performing duties merely honorary. He did not like the notion of paid trustees; poesiblyofficial trustees, like official assignees, might •be found to do the work better. • Lord CAMPBELL opposed Lord St. Leonard's bill . The LORD CHANCELLOR spoke of the measure as one to be approved, but yet requiring grave con- Fideration. Ile should support it to a second reading, and then let it pause until the other bill came ep from the Commons, RO that both measures might be con sidered simultaneously. The Government had not been unaware of the difficulty of legi,lating on the subject, under the present excitement ; but the measure intro duced into the other house had been prepared last year. What had lately happened only showed more strongly its necessity. Lord CLIFFORD took the .opportunity to point out the unhappy condition of trustees made parties to a Chancery suit. The Court of Chancery was a sink of iniquity, its processes and proceedings a legalised method of robbery. -The Lord Chancellor - was no more aware 'of the iniquities of the Court of Chancery than the Emperor of Russia was of the many robberies and in finite peculations of the Russian officials. The delay in the - V . c.e!Chancellors'and the Master of the Rolls Courts was .monstrous—so were thegoingson, the doings and undoings of the judges' chambers. Those undercurrents and back waters of the law were a disgrace to the country, and an odibits tyraOny over suitors. • Did the Lord Chancellor -iatead-toyemedy this 1 Would he have a new staff of offleere to work off these oppressive delays ?

He , bad heard complaints of the Court of Chancery- 7 -00nd laughter . )—but always found -on investigation that the advisers,of the suitors were to • blame for not . going on,,and,net the forms of the court -or their officers: .He had not. looked into the matter, and therefore could not say whether Government were about to increase the officers of the minor courts ; but he had heard that the Vice-Chancellors' Courts were not so bad as that of the Master of the Rolls. Talk of delays now, the noble lord should have been in Chancery for meily.• The. officers in the • Vice Chancellors' Courts would be increased, for the business had increased, as - would - the .etiff of the Accountant-General's office. Lord BROUGHAM observed that, in order to lay the axe to the root of the evil parliament must ab•'lish the Master's office, and itictesse the number of Vice-Chan. cellors. • - • The bill-was then read a first time, and Their lordships adjourned at 10 minutes past 7.

LADY FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH.— The Government having come to the con clusion that the fate of the crews of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror requires no further investigation on their part, Lady Franklin, in accordance with her sense of what is due to the lost navigators, is now fitting out an expedition at her own cost. As a preliminary measure s'ae sought assistance from the Admiralty by asking for the loan of the Arctic ship Reso lute, which had been restored in perfect order to our Queen by the American nation, and also for the gift (as granted in her former private expeditions) of such stores from her Ma jesty's dockyards as are available for this special service only. Compliance with these requests having been daclined, Lady Franklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final search ; and a large screw yacht (the Fox) lying at Aberdeen, has been purchased, which the distinguished Arctic officer who has accepted the command of her (Captain McClintock, R.N.) has pronounced to be perfectly adapted to this em ployment. Not repeating the arguments we formerly made use of to induce the Government to undertake a final and exhaus tive search, we hold to the opinion that it is the duty of Englishmen to examine th t limited area whence the traces of our misking countrymen were derived, which, though it lies to the south of weil-searched tracts, and has been ap proached by vessels that have returned without loss, has never yet been explored. Supported by the advice of those experienced Arctic sea men, in whom she has every reason to confide, Lady Franklin makes this last effort to clear awaythe mystery that shrouds the fate of her husband and his crews, and possibly to reszue from their insulated iey abode among the Esquimaux some of his younger companions, who may still be prolonging a dreary existence. On such an occasion we, whose names are hereunto sub scribed; feel confident that this our appeal will not remain unanswered by the British people, who will, we doubt not, tender to the widow of the illustrious navigator that sym pathy which his fame and her devotion must call forth, and will aid her in carrying out au enterprise involving, as we believe, the honour of the nation. We earnestly, therefore, entreat our countrymen to unite with us in contributing to this noble object. R lerick I. Murchison, Pres.

But supposing there was no saving effected, yet he thought they be iustified in passing this measure, and compelling owners of milk and factories to comply with its provisions even upon sanitary grounds. He trusted, therefore, their lordships would agree to the sec , nd reading of the bill. Lord CAMPBELL said, baling represented Elin burgh in several Parliaments, hetook a lively interest in this hill. He trusted the bill would pass their Lord ships and the other house, particularly because it would effect a great improvement in thi sanitary state of Scot land. Lord RAVENSWORTH wag in favour of the bill, althoughtheacttorEngland had been rendered in a great measure inoperative. He hoped more stringent mea sures would be adopted, is compel the owners of facto ries in all parts of the country to consume their own smoke. By so doing they would get rid of a most poison ous nuisance, which now prevailed to a most alarming ex , cut. Lord REDESDALE supported the bill, and sug• gested certain alterations, to the effect that any person might lay the information against persons infringing its provisions, otherwise it might be rendered altogether nugatory. After a few words from the Earl FITZ WILMA.M, Lord KINNAIRD said the noble lord seemed to be unacquainted with the duties of a procurator.fiscal or public prosecutor. It was his duty to act upon the in formation of any person, if he thought the circumstances justified such a course. The bill was then read a second time. CINQUE PORTS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Their lordships went into committee on this bill. The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and were reported without amendments. STATE OF THE LAW IN EQ UIT Y . Lord ST. LEONARDS then rose to draw the atten tion of their lordship to the state of the law in equity, charging trustees far breaches of trust, and said it was his intention to propose an amendment of the law for the relief of trustees acting bona fide and without any benefit to themselves. The noble lord said, when it was prop .sed•to sentence parties to seven years' penal servitude for breaches of trust, a great difficul•y would be found to get persons to take upo❑ themselves the duties of a trustee. Under these circumstances he had framed a bill which he should have great pleasure in laying on their lordships' table, to protect trustees acting in good faith from the provisions of so harsh an enactment. The conditions he proposed to insert in the bill were, to alter the present state of things, by which the ward was entitled to all the profits, while the unfortunate trustee was debited with all the 10-s occurring during his man agement of the trust fund. The profits certainly, in common justice, ought to be set off against the losses. That he proposed to enact in the first place. He pro• posed to relieve a trustee who bad innocently overpaid a tenant for life, from being proceeded against by the next tenant, for the money so overpaid, in the case where the next tenant was acquainted with the fact of such over payments being made without having protested against it. By the present law, if a trustee tailed to convert into leasehold property, but kept the trust fund in the 3 per cents , he was liable to the tenant for the difference be tween the ren ts and the 3 percents. He proposed that the trustee should not be liable if the - tenant in remainder was acquainted with the fact that the investment had not taken place, because he held that it was the bounder cuty of the parties interested in the remainder to see that such investments were duly made, and not to remain silent until the death of the tenant for life. By the third clause he proposed to provide for the safety of trustees who acted on power of attorney to receive funds Tor parties living abroad, but who may have dies• heft re the act was completed. The clause would provide for the safety of the party so acting; when he was not FINSBURY PARK. This bill wag read first time. WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENTS (No. 3) BILL. Mr. C. FOSTER moved that the order for the second reading of this bill be read and discharged, and that the bill be referred to the Examiner of Pet.tions for Private Bills, with have to the Examiner to sit and proceed forthwitb.—Agreed to. FINSBURY PARK. (No. 2) BILL. _ Mr. C. FORSTER moved that, in the case of the Finsbury Park (No. 2) B;11, the Examiner of Petitions for Private Bills have leave to sit and proceed furth• with. KINROSS-SHIRE RAILWAY BILL. Sir ERSKINE PERRY moved that the minutes o the evidence taken before the committee upon the Fife and Kinross Railway Bill, 1855, be referred to the com mittee on group l of railway bilk of the present session. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS (IRELAND). Mr. DAVISON moved for a return from the several coroners of Ireland since the year 1846 of all accidents occurring to labourers or others employed in the con• struction of railways or other public works, where death has been occasioned by the falling in of embankments of earth or other materials.—Agreed to. THE INDIAN ARMY. Mr. RICH asked the President of the 13)ard of Con trol, whether since the passing of the act 18 and 17 Vic. c. 95, any measures had been taken for in creasing the number of European officers in the Sepoy Regiments, for checking the drain to civil employ ments, and for otherwise securing the constant presence with their regiments of a greater number of officers than at the time of the passing of that act ap peared to be the practice in the Indian army : also, whe ther any measures had been taken for raising the general condition of the native officers, and for opening promo• Con to the rank of native officer at a shorter term than the twenty or thirty years of previous service by which it then appeared ordinarily to be obtained 1 Mr. V. SMITH said that the addition made to Sepoy regiments since 1853, had been one captain, and one lieutenant, to both infantry and cavalry ; and two cap- tains and two lieutenants to every European regiment of infantry. With regard to checking the drain al- hided to, the Court of Directors had under their consideration a dispatch that they meant to submit to the Board of Gmtrol, by making it as advan tageous for officers to remain with their regiments, as being withdrawn on civil employment. By the present regulation, the Queen's officers were capable of being em ployed on the staff, which had the effect of diminishing the number of the company's officers so emplo, ed. He was not aware that anything had been done for rais ing the general condition of the native officers, nor for reducing the period of service for promoting native officers. In the Presidency of Bombay promotion was by merit, and it was a question for considering whether it might not be extended to the other presidencies. Mr. RICH asked if the increase of officers had taken place in comparison with the increase of the number of men during that period ! Mr. V. SMITH—Yes. INSURANCE INSTITUTIONS. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN asked the Secretary to the Treasury on what day he intended to bring forward the measure affecting insurance institutions, of which he had given notice ! Mr. WILSON said that on the earliest day (he hoped next week) the business of the house would per mit of it, he should introduce the subject to the notice of the house. It was a subject of great importance, and he ;vas anxious that the house and the country should understand what the Government proposed, and therefore he should take advantage of the first day to introduce it. THE CIVIL ESTIMATES. Mr. WILSON informed the house that he intended to-morrow to move the civil service estimates and, at the same time, to make a gen e r a l s t a t e ment relative to the large increase that had taken place in their estimates within the last five years, so that hon. members might discuss them on a whole, instead of on each vote , as pro posed to the house. (Hear, hear ) Sir F. BARING said that tomorrow on gostig into committee of supply, be sboull call the attenti on of , he house to the expenditure of money on the Park without a vote of the house being first obtained. (sear, hear.) SURVEYS IN CHINESE WATERS. Mr. MOFFATT moved for a return of the res pective dates of transmission to the Admiralty of any official surveys that may have been made in the Chinese waters between Macao and Hong Kong since the cest lion of that island to her Majesty ; and similar return a as to “fficial surveys of all other portions of the Chine' in coast. I Agreed to. IRISH FAIRS AND MARKETS. Mr. SULLIVAN asked the Attorney Gr• moral for [PRICE 4n. STAMPED 51).] Ireland when the Fairs and Markets Bill, which was to have been in the hands of Irish members at the Spring Assizv, would he introduced, and whether it was the intention of Government to pass that measure during the pree'nt session of Parliament ? Mr. FITZGEEtA.LD said that be hoped the Chief Secretary for Ireland would be in his place on Monday, when be would be able to answer the question. A bill was now ready on the subject. SUPPLY. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, in consequence of the absence of Lcrd Palmerston, the motion for going into supply was poet- Need till to-morrow. DUCIIY OF LANCASTER. Mr. WISE called the attention of the house to the accounts of the Duchy of Lancaster, presented to Parlie• meat in pursuance of the Act 1 and 2 Vic c. 101, and moved an address for a return of all manors and estates new belonging to the Crown in right of the Duchy of Lancaster ; of all sales, grants, and enfr an chisemente which had taken place since 1833 ; of the purchases and exchanges of land which had been since the same period, and the date and term of all existing leases of the lands, mines, and rents of the Duchy. lie bad taken a great interest in this matter for many years, and in 1814 had moved for a return upon the sub ject, which, however, he had not obtained, it being al leged that there was so mu eh private property involved that he might as well ask fur a return of any private member's rent-re 11. He had come to the conclusion that Parliament had adopted it as a convenient doctrine that when Parliament wanted anything from the Duchy of Lancaster, it was declared to be private property, but that when the duchy wanted anything from Parliament, then the property became public. He found, on look ing into the history of the duchy, that the first Duke of Lancaster, Henry IV., on his ascent to the throne, be lieving his position rather slippery, was obliged to come to Pa-liament to ask for a-everance of these estates from the Crown lands. Henry V. followed the same course, and added to the duchy the property of his mother, which wee considerable. Edward VI. sequestered the estates and added them to the Crown. Henry VII. came to Parliament arid obtained pernais , ion again to sever those estates from the Crown property. Indeed during almost every reign those estates came under the consideration of Parliament, and, singular enough, Oliver Cromwell was the last who dealt with this property ; for owing to the death of Charles I the revenue of the duchy became national property. Oliver Cromwell again severed them. and Charles 11. left the property as Cromwell bad left it. He (Mr. Wise) wished to know what had bees done with this property. In 1750 a bill had been introduced by Lord Cavendish, Mr. Burke, and Mr. Fox, and he (Mr. Wise) referred to it because he thought the feeling of the house at that time might be a guide to the present Parliament. The object of that bill was to unite to the Crown the Duchy and County Palatine of Lancaster, and to ascertain the rights of sale of all lands, tene ments, and hereditaments belonging thereto, for the purpose of applying the produce thereof to the public service. That motion, it should be remembered, was made in the reign of George 111., and in an unreformed Parliament. The next progress of the property was that the House of Commons passed an act rep - tiring the accounts of the duchy to be laid on the table of the house every year. That proved that the duchy was looked upon as public property. With the knowledge which he had of the property, he felt he should not be discharging his duty as a member of the Legislature if he did not state the facts he knew to the house, and call upon the officers of the Duchy of Lancaster to do their duty, not only to the State, but also to the Sovereign whom they represented. His de sire was to get rid of a cumbrous Gothic establishment. The revenues of the duchy scarcely more than belonged to the royal duchess who held them, because they were all eaten up by expenditure. The burden upon the estate was a great as the benefit from it. The revenues were simply revenues on paper and certainly never entered into the privy purse. With regard to the re venues, and expenditure, sad receipts of the privy purse during the present reign, he found the total receipts were 722,96 W., and the privy purse had received out of that sum 251,11001, ; so that the outgoings had been 471,980/. In other words, the average income was 38,0001., and the privy purse received out of that 13,0001. a-year. (Hear, hear.) The accounts presented a more favourable appearance last year, the revenues being 41,043/., and the privy purse receiving 23,0001. With regard to the establishment of the duchy, it was composed of 60 per sons, receiving an income of 8,5271. There was a chan cellor, who received 2,0001. a-year, and whose duties were not very onerous or important ; a vice•claanceller, with 6001. a-year, who, he believed, discharged some duties for the benefit of the Lancashire people, but he thought it was very undesirable to keep up that small jurisdiction then. Then came a receiver-general, with a salary of 878/ , but he could have very little to do, inasmuch as the rents were paid into the bank of Coutts and Co. There was an auditor who Lad 2001 a-year, and a clerk, register, and secretary with a salary of 1,3421, and probably he was the proper person to per form all the duties connected with the establishment. There were four clerks, a solicitor receiving 3001. a-year, a surveyor with 5001. a-year, two attorney-generals, 15 receivers, and 23 stewards, The law eapepses alone dur ing the last 19 years were 20,870. It might be said that the nature of the property required this vast establishment. To some extent it might require it, be cause he ound the property was scattered through 20 c unties in England. With regard to the revenues and expenditure of the forests, taking the average of the lest 14 years of the forest of Needwood, he found the wood sold for 11.8931., and tkte labour of cutting it down cost 9 : 9501. (Laughter.) In another forest, however, the case was far worse, for while the produce was 5,7741., the expenses were 18,4251. Then there was a high dig nified and distinguished official called the axe bearer, with 2001. a-year. The axe bearer was a noble peer—(a laugh)—and it was notorious that Needwood was kept up, not for the happiness and comfort of its royal rnis , tress, but for the amusement and pleasure of the neigh bouring gentry, who bunted there with the axe bearer and his friends. There were a great number of charges which he thought were most unjustifiable reductions from the privy purse. In the civil list her Majesty was obliged to subscribe several hundreds, if not thousands, a-year for what were called "Queen's Plates"—there was a charge of 1051. for Lancaster races. The next was a most absurd charge, being nothing less than 481. for the travelling expenses of the duchy seal. (Laugh ter.) He supposed the seal came up from Lancast,r, and went to the Clarendon Hotel, arid then returned back by special train, (A. laugh.) But there was a still more extraordinary charge of 4321. fir seals. In every reign a new set of seals were cut for the duchy court, and the last set cost 4321. This was a system most unjust to the Sovereige and injurious to the State, because if such things were allowed the public property became ridicu lous. The whole of these revenues were eaten up by mis management, and the salaries of officers who were of no .advantagwto the country. He saw no remedy for such a state (4:things but to charge the revenues on the con solidated fund and transfer to the hereditary revenues, so that-ethieyntiglat be collected as the other revenues now were wiltient, this monstrous expense. He felt convinced that-104M . Copyholds on the manor were got rid of 'very..greitle i nefit would follow, and he believed if the Chancellor of the Duchy were to make a notification to that effect, in a very few months 501 per annum might be commuted into a capital sum of 30,0001. (Hear, hear.) The first question he wished to put to the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Baines) wag, why was the income of the duchy so stationary ! Large sums had been sold out of the public stock, and a great number of improve ments had taken place, and yet there was no difference whatever. between the years 1341 and 1850. He could only say there might be one explanation, namely, that a great number of very bad bargains had been made in the purchase and exchange of land. A recent purchase had been made by which a property amounting to 11,3081 , had been added to the duchy. There was another point to which he wished to call the attention of the house, namely, the capital accounts, which were in such a con dition that the Chancellor of the Duchy himself, in 1854, ackno‘Nledged they were not calculated to convey full and clear information to Parliament, He wished to know what was made of the fines on renewals and sales. Froin renewals the income was 26,731/., and on sales 50,3651. 'What was done with that money ! He declared that his object was that the ducby should produce as much income as possible for her Majesty. Again, as to the minerals, there a great increase of the produce from that source, but there had been no statement respecting it since 1837 and 1833. He did not understand the rea son of that omission. Since Parliament required the production of the accounts, there had been a statement for two years, showing the number of tons raised, the price paid, and the royalty, but not hin g of the kind C si b n a c a e . these appeared. He must now ask whether i t , their at cellor of the' Duchy or other officers had, tention to a very serious question, name y g , Lv t demand ,the for compensation for the destruction of property by the Stafford colleries. The copyholdere in North Staffordshire had purchased the surface from the Crown, and the question was whether they were to have a foundation ! Th e lessees of the minerals bad under mined a district, and a town containing 30,000 inhabi tants, and streets, houses, churches, and chapels had been affected by the general ruin. It looked like nothing so much as Hercu:aneurn, except always the beauty of the arts which decorated the ancient ruin. There were roofless houses, cracked walls, a manufactory (costing 6,0001.) totally destroyed, 30 houses shaken to the foundation ; a rick disappeared, a pig-stye sunk under ground, but the inhabitant, having been uneasy two or three days before, escaped that night, and was found in the neighbourhood next day. (A laugh.) Families were thrown out of occupation, some of them were ruined, become bankrupt, and were in the workhouse. The copyholders brought the question before the law courts. The duchy spent 8,0001. in defending the lessees. The judges, including Lord Chief Justice Denman, decided in favour of the copyholders, saying their right, to a foundation was inalienable. That was a scandalous state of things, and it appeared all the worse that the money of the duchy should be spent in defending the lessees from the claim to compensation made by the copyholders for the injuries done them. He bagged the right hon. gentleman's attention to these subjects with a view to the advantage of the country, the benefit of her Majesty, and the character of the Government themselves. Alderman COPELAND seconded the motion. They Shire dared not encounter the power of the duchy. Even if they succeeded, they got'no costs. He called the serious attention of the Government to this subject, and hoped the right hon. gentlemati would at some time or other grant the committee which was asked. Mr. BAINES thanked the hon. member for Stafford for giving him notice of his question, as the matter re ferred too occurred before he (Mr. Baines) entered office, and he had been thus enabled to make inquiries Ha quite agreed with the hon, member for Stafford that it was his duty t) make the revenue of the duchy profitable to her Majesty, and which he intended to do. But all improvement will be but gradual. There were outside leases and arrangements of many kinds. When he had the opportunity of making better arrangements, he should earnestly avail himself of them. This was an object he should keep always before him. His hon. friend had not made the position of the duchy perfectly clear. It originated in the time of Edward 111., and in that time the revenue had been under a different guid ance and government from the other property of the Crown. When at ihe accession of her present Majesty the civil list was settled the Crown revenues were given up, except those of the duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, which remained under a separate guidance. It was then provided by Aet of Parliament that the an fluid accounts of the duchy should be made out in such a way as the Treasury should decree, and presented to Parliament. Since that time great improvements had eeen introduced into the duchy. He would mention a few of them. The hon. member for Stafford had alluded to the old system of 1 ,cal receivers. At present only one of those local receivers was left—there were collect ors, but no local receivers, and by that arrangement therr was a saving of 1,2001. a.year on that head alone. There was another point. The hon. member had ad verted to the sa'aries which were paid, but since the passing of the act an important alteration bad taken place, whereby the officers were paid part in salariee and part in fees. The salaries were now fixed, and an im p otent saving had been made in consequence. A very great improvement had been introduced into the management of the duchy since the year 1847. The comeitesioners then appointed rescinded the abolition of the system of fines on renewals of Lases, and this sug gestion had been kept steadily in view by those charged with the control of the property. About two years since an act was passed, empowering the Chancellor of the Duchy to sell outlying properties, and purchase others with the proceeds, for the purpose of consolidating the property, and this would tend greatly to reduce the ex• pense of management. It was said by the hon. member that her Maj •sty derived very little revenue from the duchy. This, however, was not the case. The average return paid clear into the privy puree of her Majesty luring the last nineteen years was 13,0001. a year ; but the amount during the last year was 20,0001., and there was every probability that it would go on progressively increasing, as the incumbrances, burdens, and patent offices were removed. The honourable and learned member said that with respect to the injury alleged to h-me been sustained by some copyholders in Derbyshire by carrying on mining operations, that had been a subject in dispute in various law courts for several years. He trusted that the house would agree with him in the opinion that several im• provements bad been effected in the management of the property of the duchy. He had no opposition to offer to the motion of the hon. member. (Hear, hear.) Mr. RICARDO complained of the very unsatisfactory explanation made by the right hon. member, and he thought that the house was much indebted to the hon. member for Stafford for bringing the subject tinder the notice of the house. The case of the people of Hanley and Skeddington, and the inhabitants of the Potteries, was one of great hardship ; their lives and property were plaeed in great jeopardy by the conduct of tl e Crown in permitting mining operations to be carried on, which were attended with so much danger to the public, for the paltry rent of about 2,0001. He bad for the last seventeen years been in communication with the Duchy of Lancaster on the subject, but had never been able to obtain any satisfactory result. Mr. BASS said that there could be no doubt that the property of the Duchy of Lancaster was in a most die creditable state, and called for great improvements in the management. Among other conditions upon which be held some property under the Crown, was one that be should supply for her Majesty's private table, four pheasants, 80 partridges, and 18 hares. (A. laugh.) Owing, however, to the extent to which poaching was carried on, he was perfectly unable to supply the de mand. After some refutation and moch squabbling on the subject., a purveyor was appointed, and the requisite game ewe supplied ; and each year he (Mr. Bass) was furnished with the list of the amount of game supplied, which he paid he could hardly say with how much satis faction. (A laugh.) This was a matter which well de served the attention of the able administrators of the duchy, as illustrating a system more suitable to the the times of the Henries than the reign of her Majesty. The motion was then agreed to. GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL. Sir E. PERRY presented a petition from Calcutta, praying Lir the amalgamation of the Queen's and the Company's courts of law. Mr. KINN.AIRD rose to move resolutions stating that from representations made to the house there was reason to believe that the present administration of the lower provinces of Bengal did not secure to the inhabit. ants good government, but that the mass of the people suffered grievious oppression from the police, and that in the opinion of the house the Government were boun to ascertain the truth of these statements, and if they were true to redress the same. The representations be said were contained in the petition of the missionaries in the district, who stated what they had thernmeives wit neseed. They had memorialised the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal on the subject, but being refused redress there they now appealed to Parliament. It might be said these missionaries ought to have confined themselves to preach ing the gospel, but he would remind the house that though they were missionaries, they did not cease to be English gentlemen ; and it was not to be expected that they could witness oppression, cruelty, and wrong, and yet remain silent. He then proceeded to state, from the petitions of the missionaries, fortified as it was by the admissions of Mr. Halliday, the Lieutenant• Governor, and other officials, of the cruelty with which the ryot, or native cultivator of the soil, was treated by the emir. dar, or great landowner, of the tortures which these zemindars practised, and in which they were abetted by the native police, who were themselves notorious for murder, robbery, and theft, and were practically without any superintendence, for the English collector, lived from 40 to 60 miles away, in a country without roads, and where the maeistrates were perpetually changing. He therefore prayed for an inquiry, which would at least clear up the mystery banging over these charges, and if they were true, would at least pave the way to a remedy. An Hero MEMBER here moved that the house be counted, but by dint of whipping up a few members, a house wan made. Mr. DUNLOP, in seconding the motion, expressed his indignation at the indifference with which the house treated this question, so intimately affecting the happi ness of India. Mr. V. SMITH complained of the vague nature of Mr. Kinnaird's motion. The evils complained of were well known, and he objected to the motion because it would discover nothing that was not already known. This was not a motion for a commission to inquire into spe cific abuses, it was a commission to inquire into the whole framework and administration of the Government, superseding the functions of the governor himself. Many of them were in the course of remedy. For in. stance, Mr. Kinnaird complained of the conduct of the police in India. Well, that was admitted by a despatch from the Court of Directors, lamenting the evil, and directing a resorganieation of the whole system of police. What could his hon. friend have more than that ! Mr. KINNAIR,D—There is nothing done. Mr. SMlTH—Nothing Crone ! Why the despatch was only issued in September last—and did he expect that the whole system could be re-organised in three months! If his hon. friend fancied that reforms proceeded with more rapidity in India than in Englandhe twhaesuluch mistaken. There was also a bill now before Legis lative Council in India to regulate the relations between the zeeaindar and the ryot.

Macaulay. Having ahewn them that the Government. were not inattentive to these reforms he must oppose this motion, because he did not wish to spread abroad the delusion that the Government were about tn. revolutionise the present system in India. Nor w Duld he wish to have it go forth to India that Chri itian missionaries were to interfere in the affairs of Gover n went. The house had already beard of the mutinous disposition manifested in some n ative re giments, which took its rist in the notion that we were about to adopt a. compulsory system of conversion. Be. sides all this, he. .felt, in the words of Mr. Halliday, that the time for inquiay was past ; the time for action bad come, A. commi scion would delay and obstruct rather than promote refc 'rm.
