In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a firm f , eling was ;maintained up Ito the close, and full prices were current. The sales were 7,000 bales, 1,000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The Railway Share Market continued quiet, and prices were a shade lower than on Monday. Preparations have been commenced, although on a small scale, for the remittances of silver to the East by the steamer which leaves Southampton on the 20th inst. ; but until further intelligence is received from India and China, which is expected about the 12th or 13th, business will remain ex ceedingly dull. There was no particular alteration in the rates of Exchange upon the principal cities of the continent Yesterday afternoon, although a decline was gene rally anticipated. The advices from New York report the exchange there to be firm at about 109:1, Eco that a continuance of remittances from that sountry are calculated upon. The demand for money in Lombard-street and at the Bank is much quieter, partly in consequence of an impression that the minimum will bereduced to 5 i per cent. Thus, first class paper is nego tiated at 51 per cent., in some cases rather lower, and the supply is ample. The dividend payments commenced to-day, and these will produce addi tional ease. If the reduction be made as antici pated, either this week or next, it will give an im portant impulse to trade, and create confidence in all departments. Nearly all the specie that arrives from Australia and America is sold to the B ink, and the next re turn will, no doubt, exhibit a material increase in the bullion. Yesterday about 55,0001., probably the remainder of the supply brought by the Champion of the Seas, was so appropriated, and the American remittance by the Canada is likewise expected to find its way into the Bank vaul . s. At the half-yearly meeting of the Colonial Bank to-day, a dividend was made at the rate of 6 per Cent. per annum, leaving the balance of bad debts reduced to only about £lO,OOO. The report was adopted. The English Stock Market, although under the influence of the settlement, is a shade firmer, and there is evidently a better feeling,—stimulated by the anticipation of a change in the rate of discount to-morrow. It is thought that the Bulk will not only lower the minimum, but likewise continue their loans upon stock. This opinion, however, is not shared in by the public generally, as there is really no necessity for a continuance of such fa cilities beyond the period of the Shutting. Consols for money have been 92a for Thursday 921 and for August 93. The New 3 per Cents. are 92 i and the Reduced 921 Bank Stock is 2121 to 214. Exchequer Bills were 3s. discount. to par. • In the Foreign Market the dealings have not been very important, but the quotations are generally firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are nomi nally 951 96. Spanish New Deferred are 25f, Sardinian 89 to 90, Russian 1101,, French 41 per Cents. 91f. with the exchange at 25f. 30c. Peru vian are 82i to 83g. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds. 6 61 ; 221 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 82 84; ditto 3 per Cents., 56 58 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 441 5i ; Russia n 5 pet Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 9 6 98 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40k 402 ; ditto New Deferred, 25k ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, 52 6. There has been very little animation in the Rail way Share Market. A slight advance, however, has taken place in the values of some of the chief lines. North-Eastern Berwick rose 10s. ; Lan cashire and Yorkshire, ss. to 10s. ; Great Wez,t ern, North-Western, and Midland, ss. ; Bristol and Exeter and South-Eastern were at yesterday's r ates ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln de clined ss. ; Eastern Union B stock about 10s. to 1 5s. The French lines, although not active, are at enhanced values. Eastern of France have im proved 7s. Gd. to Ms. ; and Paris and Lyons, 10s. Great Western of Canada are flat, and de clined about ss. ; Grand Trunk are at nominal values, as also East Indian. Dutch Rhenish and Lombardo-Venetian are firm. Mining Shares have ruled very quiet. The fol lowing business has been reported—Alfred Consols, 1711 ; Wheal Mary Ann, 46i ; and Mexican, 31,. The market for Joint -Stock Bank and Miscella neous Shares has been exceedingly quiet. Otto man Bank receded about 55.; London and County Bank of Australasia and London Chartered of Australia were at previous rates ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam declined to 68.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Thin Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUS7NESS. The British and Irish Grant Junction Railway ; Lowestoft and Burgh Saint P.ter Ferry and Roads ; and Puleney Town Harbour Isere read a third time and passed. The Besselsleigh Road 13111 was further considered and ordered to be read a third time. The Caledonian and Crinan (finals Bill was read a second time. THAMES CONSERVANCY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat OR the woolsack at five o'clock. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from a place in Devonshire, praying for an alteration of the law re specting the superannuation allowance. The Bishop of OXFORD presented a petition from the clergy of Buckingham, stating that the bill liter , passed by their lordships would multiply divorces, and ' praying their lordships to take the subject into their serious consideration. The right rev. preltte also pre sented a petition against the admissicn of Jews into Par liament. On the third reading of this bil, Sir W. CODRINGFON opposed the third reading. Tidal rivers like the Thames were likely to be obstructed by the erection of wharfs, piers, and embankments, by persons not responsible for its free navigation. The object of the bill was to establisha Board of Conservancy, who should have power to erect wharfs, piers, and em bankments, and to tax the shipping, using the river fur that purpose ; two-thirds of the tax was to go to the board for improving the navigation of the river and the remaining third to the Government, but it was not specified what they were to do with the money. The gallant officer referred to the origin of the bill, which arose from a dispute between the Go vernment and the Corporation of London as to the shores of the river, and he objected to so important a trust as the conservancy of the river Thames being placed in the hands of an irresponsible body— the majority of the members of the board to be taken from the Corporation of London. He contended that this bill was too important to be c insidered as a private bill, anc urged that it should be made a public bill and publicly discussed. He muved the third reading of the bill this day six months. Mr. AYRTON asked the Spsaker if this bill had been proner'y introduced as a privats bill, considering its im portant operation. The SPEAKER said that, according to Parliamentary praotice and usage, the bill (towever large the interest might be that would be affected by it) had been properly introduced as a private bill. Mr. Alderman C CIBITT supported the second read ing, and gave a lengthened history of the dispute be tween the Corporation of London and the Government, relative to the shores of the river, which had been under agitation for a considerable number of years, and had been repeatedly brought under the notice of the public. Sir DE LACY EVANS said that since the last time the bill was before the house many objectionable clauses had been The Duke of BUCCLEUC a presented a similar peti ion. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented a peti ion from Chester in favour of the Oaths Bill. Lord COLVILLE presented a petition from Torring ton, St. John's, Norfolk, and also from the parishes of Claverly, Willy, Barrow, and other places, against the admission of Jews into Parliament. [LEFT SITTING.] ELECTION COMMITTEES.—(This Day.) MA.IO. The committee re-assembled this moaning, aid there was a very large attendance, both of members and the general public. Mr. Hugh Wilbraham was called and examined by Mr. Buchanan. He said that at the last election he voted for Palmer and Moore. At the previous election he was not on the register of votes, btt he acted as a deputed magistrate. As compared with the former elec tion the last was a particularly quiet one. Colonel Higgins and his friends walked about Castlebar during the nomination, and were not interripted. The first polling day he was at Castlebar, and say some of Colonel Higgins' voters coming up under escort in cars. From one of the cars he saw a pistol fired,and witness told th , stipendiary magistrate that if he would stop the escort he would point out the man who fired the pistol. The magistrate very uncivilly replied bat he would not stop the escort, and told him he mightsnmmon the man it he liked. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Malley—He held a farm under the Marquis of Sligo. He toot up his lordships tenants to the poi. at the last electior. Whatever vio lence there was at the election he attributed to the influence of the priests. Mr. G. Martin, a magistrate and chairman of the board of guardians of Ballinrobe, denied generally all the violent language attributed to Esther Conway, in the chapel at Ballinrobe, and in his addresses to the mob in various parts of the town. Several other witnesses were called who spoke to the quiet character of the last election. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice SECOO7IN4 WITH I NTENT TO MITEDER,—WIII. Moyce wasindicted for feloniously shooting Jas. Joseph flick worth with intent to murder bin). From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner had for many years occupied a piece of land and cottage at Bromley, used as a market garden. The prosecutor became the owner of the property, and brought an action of ejectment against the prisoner, and having obtained judgment and execution, he, accompanied by Gover and Phillips, two sheriffs' officers, went to execute it, when he was shot by the prisoner. Evidence having been given for the prosecution, Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury for the prisoner. The Judge having summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of shooting with intent to do grievous bodily harm, with a recommendation to mercy. The prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. POLICE IN (This Day.) sourawAruc. CHARGE OF SHOPLIFTING —Mary Morland, a respec table looking female, 19 years of age, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing a pair of boots, value twelve shi lings, from the shop of Mr. Thomas Jones, boot and shoe maker, Cross-street, Blackfriars-road. Robert Milne, shopaian to the prosecutor, said, that about 8 o'clock on the previous night the prisoner came into the shop, and said she Ranted to be supplied with a fashionable pair of boots. Witness fitted a pair on, which she examined and said they would not suit, at the same time tellicg him that she should p refer anoth er pair in the window. Witness went to the latter p lace and brought her the pair she wished, and , having fitted them on, she examinee them, and putonh er own shoes a ga i n , then, whe but nshe shegot w o c ff ail t d he ca c l h i aaigraiantdansdaidpasy for them.

Witness immediately followed her, and having stopped her, he requested her to come back to\ the shop, as he suspected het of stealing a pair of boots. She then trembled violently and let the boots fall from her mantle. A police constable then came up, and he gave her into custody, when she begged to be allowed to go home and fetch the money. Mr. Combe asked how far she bad got from the shop when he stopped her ? Witness replied " near at!, d oor way," but she wa s . going away.

CORN EXCHANGE- To.day's market was moderately supplied with English wheat, chiefly the refuse of Monday. On the whole, there was rather more doing in most drscriptions, but the demand was by no means active. In prices we have no change to notice. This week's imports of foreign wheat amount to 6,080 quarters, and we hal rather an extensive show of samples. The inquiry, was wholly confined to small parcels for im mediate consumption at Monday's currency. There was a firm sale for barley, at fully previous rates. We bad a moderate inquiry for malt, at full quotations. The oat trade ruled vory firm, at extreme rates. Beans and peas moved off steadily at full prices. The flour trade ruled dull, and Norfolk qualities were offered at 465. per 280 lbs. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK, Wheat. Barley. I Malt.

Lord REDESDALE laid on the table a bill to regu late the mode of taking the oaths by Lush peers. Tne effect of the measure was to place Irish peers in a simi lar position as Scotch peers. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motion of L .)rd REDESDALE, the following bills were read a second time :—Plyth and Tyne Railway ; Metropolitan New Streets and Improvements; Deeside Extension Railway ; Backwater Bridge and Railway ; Manchester Corporation ; and Dartmouth and Torbay Railway. THIRD READINGS. On the motion of Lord RE DESDALE the following bills were severally read a third time and passed : Landport and Southsea Improvements ; Cardigan Mar- kets and Improvements ; Wearmouth Bridge, Ferries, and Approaches ; South Durham and Lan , ..a,ter Union Railway ; Ely Valley Railway ; Glasgow Gas ; and purslem and Tnnstall Gas (as amended). POLICE (SCOTLAND) BILL. The report of Amendments to this Bill was brought up, and agreed to. COALWHIPPERS' BILL. Lord RAVENS WORTH presented a petition from certain persons connected with the coal trade, against the passing of this bill. _ _ _ Lord KINNAIRD rose to move that this bill be re ferred to a select committee, under Standing Order No 175, respecting bills for regulating the coal trade. The noble lord said that the coal-whippers mere usually employed by persons who had interest in certain pullichouses where coal-whippers were compelled to resort in order to obtain engagements. The effect of such a proceeding was, that the men were compelled to spend a large portion of their earnings in drink. The evil increased to such an extent that public attention was drawn to the fact, and the Government in 1845 took the matter up, and a bill was iii troduced into Parliament to remedy the evil. The bill was passed, but it was limited to a duration of three years, but from time to time the act was renewed. In the year 1856 the President of the Board of Trade introduced another bill, but inconsequence of the opposition of certain parties interested in the coal trade, who promised by their con duct to render such a bill unnecessary. Tue Vice-Pre sident withdrew the bill. The noble lord stated at length the hardships and cruelties inflicted upon the coal whippers, and concluded by moving for a select commit tee to inquire into the subject. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said that the motion of the noble lord was cut of order, and there fore could not be assented to. With respect to the bid alluded to, he could show that it was a violation of the principles of political economy, of which the noble lord was a great admirer. The case of the coal whippers had been looked upon as exceptional. Certain evils being proved to exist.the Legislature sanctioned the bill in• troduced by Mr. Gladstone. The noble lord was much opposed to the re-introduction of a measure similar to that of 1845, and believing that no such enactments were now necessary, he (Lord Stanley) was unwilling a ques tion which had last year been settled by common consent existed had considerably abated, and the business con nected with the engagement of the coal whippers was now carried on in a very satisfactory manner. Lord RAVENS WORTH concurred with the noble lord who had just sat down, that the re introduction of the Coal Whippers' Act was unnecessary. After a few words frbm the Bishop of Oxford, Earl Granville, Lord Colchester, Lord Stanley of Alderley, and the Earl of Malinesbury, the house divided-- Contents Non-contents Majority in favour of committee... —4 COUNTY COURTS. .. 31 .. 27 Lord BROUGIIA.M rose to call attention to the sub ject of administration of justice in the county courts. It appeared by the returns that a great many county court judges acted more by deputy than others. Nineteen of the judges employed deputies very rarely, indeed there had been only fodr instances. Six-and twenty employed none at all. Be moved for a return of the number of days each judge sat in his court, the number of days he had sat by deputy, and the names of the deputies and their description. He moved for that return for the last 12 months. The LORD CHANCELLOR could see no objec tion to the return. As to the deputies, according to the law the county court judge was entitled to two months' holiday each year, and he had authority - 0 appoint a de puty, who was tv be either another county court judge or a barrister of a certain number of years standing ; and the deputies so appointed must be with the sanction of the Lord Chancellor. The labours of the county court judges were now become so heavy, that it would be the duty of the Government at an early date to olnsider a better distribution of the districts, so as to equalise them throughout the country. The motion was agreed to. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented a petiii.m from far mers and others attending Northampton market, pray ing for a uniformity of weights and measures. After a few words from Lord WENSL VYDALE, Lord BERNERS said that in the different markets the greatest possible confusion arose from the difference in the system of weights and measures. He tru-ted the Government would think the sulject worthy their atten tion. After Lord SPENCER had said a few words, Mae Kiri of CLANCA.RTY hoped not only that a uniform system would be introduced into the markets of Ireland, but into the markets throughout the United Kingdom. SUPERANNUATION. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from certain Custom-house officers in the Hebride., praying for a re vision of the charge for the superannuation fund. IRISH CONSTABULARY. This bill was read a first time. The house adjourned at five minutes past seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. The Lords' amemdments to the New River Company Bill were agreed t( , . The Bourn and Essendine Railway, Islington Parish Acts Amendment, Lancaster and Carlisle and Ingleton Railway, Lowestoft and Burgh Saint Peter Ferry and Roads, Rhymney Railway, Tweed Fisheries, CAliston Railway, Dexthorpe Turnpike Trust, and Richmond and Kew Extension Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Mr. NORRIS presented a petition from the manager of the Abingdon Savings Bank, praying the house to take steps to raise the interest allowed to savings bank depositors, lest they should be tempted by the high rate of interest elsewlv re to withdraw their deposits—(laugh ter)—by Mr. HENLEY from places in Osfordsbire against the divorce bill ; by Mr. BEECSOFT from Leeds in favour of the medical profession bill ; by Mr. WILLIAMS from the proprietors of the South Lambeth Mews, asking for the opinion of the law officers of the Cro wn with respect to proceedings taken to compel unstamped newspapers to give security. BURIALS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Sir W. JOLLIFFE objected to the principle of the bill, and to the formation of the Burial Boards. He considered it would be distasteful to the people, because not being satisfied with separating paupers during life from their friends, this bill proposed to separate them when dead by providing pauper burial grounds. Mr. MASSEY defended the introduction of the bill, which was rendered necessary to remedy defects that had prevented the effectual operation of a bill that had been found on the whole to work successfully. No new principle was introduced into this bill. It only gave facilit es to the present organisation wilthout creating new boards. The provision for pauper burial grounds was only in ca , es where large union houses e'xieted, and it had been introduced in consequence of representations made to the Home-office relative to the expense inflicted on small parishes contiguous to these houses, by having to provide burial grounds .for the paupers, and also to prevent over-crowding. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought that a clause should be inserted granting paupers the privilege of selecting their place of burial. After some remarks from Mr. SOTHERON, Sir G. GREY said it was inconvenient to discuss clauses out of committee. The object of the bill was only to remedy the present law, and did nut give new powers to the Secretary of State. Mr. H. BERKELEY said his only fear was that this bill would enable persons to make commercial transac• tioos of the dead, and that it did not confer sufficient power upon the Secretary of State. After some further discussion, the house went into committee. Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to. On clause 3, Mr. KNIGHT moved an amendment. The clause provided fur the formation of burial boards on the petition of not less than one-tenth of the inhabitants, and he proposed the insertion of words that would enable local boards of health to assume the power of burial boards the same as town councils. Sir G. GREY said the clause was inserted for the protection of the inhabitants, but he had no objection to the amendment. The clause, as amended, was then agreed to. Clause 4 was agreed to, with amendments. On clause 5, to empower boards of guardians to font themselves into burial boards to provide burial grounds for the paupers, Sir W. JOLLIFEE moved that the clause be ex punged. Sir G. GREY said the clause was introduced on the epreoentation he referred to at au early_ period of the discussion. This was not a compulsory clause, but as the committee oljected to it, he would not press it. The clause wa; accordingly struck out. Clauses 6 and 7 were agreed to. Clause 8, piovidnig for the settlement of diFpv.tes on questions of consecrated and unconsecrated grounds by the Secretary of State was agreed to. Clauses up to 15 were agreed to with alterationg. • On clause 16, Mr. KNIGHT objected to the clause, which was the most objectionable in the bill. It proposed to make the orders of the llome Secretary more stringent than at present, and entai!ed 101. penalty for disobedience. Th e clause would alto fix inspectors all over the country for all eternity. (Laughter.) He ask,d the committee to reject the clause. Sir G. GREY supported the clause, which was neces. sary to preserve decency of burial iu many joint-stuck cemeteries. . . Sir - DE LACY EVANS considered this clause neces sary to prevent the continuance in the metropolis of the abuPes and abominations that had been expiked in reference to burial in Joint-stock Cemeteries. It the committee expunged this clause the bat had better be withdrawn. After some further discussion, S:r G. GREY con sented to an alteration of the clause, which wouA make the regulations and orders refer to commercial ceme terie, oily instead of fur all the cemeteries throughout the country. The clause so amended was then agreed to. Mr. L. KING- moved as an amendment that only one body shool l be burici in a grave within the metro politan cemeteries except in family graves, &?. Sir G. GREY said he agreed in the abstract that only one body should be buried in a grave, but he thought it should not be - carried out with reference to existing cemeteries. The c.,mmittee ultimately divided on the amendment. The numbers were— Far the amendment Against it Majority 155 Mr. MASSEY moved the following addition to the clause :—" Provided alto, that such regulations shall not prohibit the burial of any number of bodies not ex ceeding six, in the same grave on the same day in any of the cemeteries mentioned in Schedule B of the Act 15th and 16th Victoria, chapter 85, or in any ceme tery estahlkhed in pursuance of auy Act of Parliament, provided that every coffin so buried shall be separated from any other coffin by at least a foot of earth, and be buried at least four feet below the surface of the ground, and provided that such grave shall be fiilad in on the day of burial and never again opened until the remains of the bodies buried therein shall be completely decayed." Mr. MILES regretted that the Government had changed the number from "four" to "six," as orginally intended. He moved that the number be limited to " four." Mr, MASSEY defended the Government proposition on the ground of vested interests. Mr. CLAY said " six" was proposed to allow ceme teries to carry out their contracts with boards of guar dians of burying six bodies in one grave. The committee divided. The numbers were— For the amendment Against it Majority The house then resumed. . NEW MEMBER. Major GORDON took the oaths and his seat for Banff shire. The house suspended its sitting at 4 o'clock, and re sumed at 6 o'clock. STATUTE LAW COMMISSION. On the motion of Mr. L. KING, the following return was ordered :—" Return showing how the balance of 3,0291. 11.. 7d. remaining in the Treasury on the 30th April, 1856 (Parliamentary paper, (No. 216, of sessio❑ 1856) on account of the Statute Law Commission has been expended. Account in detail of the expenditure of the sum of 1,9111,, voted in 1856 for the Statute Law Commission ; of total amount voted for the Statute Law Board and Commission since its first appointment in 1853 ; together with the total amount paid to each of the officers and persons employed under the board or commission since that period, and the names of such per sons ; and, return of the names of the draftsmen em• ployed to prepare consolidation bills, and the fees paid to each draftsman since the last return in 1856." PUBLIC FISHERIES. Mr. CAIRD asked the Secretary of the Treasury, whether any progress had been made since February, 1853, in obtaining a decisioa by the House of Lords, of the case of Gammell against the Crown, and whether the advantage of the right of salmon fisheries on the whole sea coast of Scotland, therein involved, has for four years been lost to the public revenue by the post ponement of the above case I Mr. WILSON said the appeal was not heard before the House of Lords. The decision had not been given, but that delay had not been caused by any officers of his department. NATIONAL SURVEY. Lord ELCIIO asked the Secretary of the Treasury upon which ecale it was intended to proceed with the survey of towns of Ireland ? • Mi. WILSON said the towns would be surveyed on a scale of 10 feet to the mile, pending any further de• cision. NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. CONINGHAM asked the Secretary of the Trea sury whether it was the intention of the Government to remove the National Gallery from its present site ? Mr. WILSON, in reply, said the matter was not de cided, because the commission appointed to consider the question bad not sent in its report. THE ISTHMUS OF SUEZ CANAL. Mr. 11. BERKELEY asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether her Majesty' Government would use its influence with his Highness the Sultan in support of an application which had been made by the Viceroy of Egypt for the sanction of the Sublime Porte to the con struction of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Suez, for which a concession had been granted by the Viceroy of Egypt to M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, and which hau re ceived the approbation of the principal cities, ports, and commercial towns of the united kingdom ; and, it any objection were entertained by her _Majesty's Govern ment to the undertaking to state the grounds of such objection ? Lord PALMERSTON—Her Majesty's Government certainly cannot undertake to use their influence with the Smtan to induce him to give permi , sion for the con struction of this canal, because for the last 15 years her Majesty's Government have used all the influence they possess at Constantinople and in Egypt to prevent that scheme from being carried into execution. (Hear.) It is an undertaking which, I believe, in point of commer cial character, may be deemed to rank among the many bubble schemes that from time to time have been palmed upon gul'ible capitalists. (Hear, and a laugh) I be lieve that it is physically impracticable, except at an ex pense which would be far too great to warrant the ex pectation of any returns. I believe, therefore, that those who embarked their money in any such undertaking (if my hon. friend has any constituents who are likely to do so) would find the.liselves very grievously deceived by the result. However, twat is not the ground upon which the Government have opposed the scheme. Pri vate individuals are left to take care of their own inte rests, and if they embark in impracticable undertakings they must pay the penalty of so doing. But the scheme is one hostile to the interests of this country—opposed to the standing policy of England in regard to the con ❑exion of Egypt with Turkey—a policy which has been supported by the war and the Treaty of Paris. The ob vious political t-ndency of the undertaking is to render more easy the separation of Egypt from Turkey. It is founded, also, on remote speculations with regard to easier access to our Indian possessions which I need not more distinctly shadow forth, because they will be obvious to anybody who pays any attention to the suLject. I can only express my surprise that M. Ferdinand de Lesseps should have reckoned so much on the credulity of English capitalists as to think that by his progress through the different counties he should succeed in obtaining English money for the promotion of a scheme which is every way so adverse to British interests. (Hear.) That scheme was launched, I believe, about 15 years ago, as a rival to the railway from Alexandria by Cairo to Suez, which, being infinitely more practicable and likely to be more useful, obtained the pre eminence ; but probably the object which M. de Lesseps and some of the promoters have in view will be accomplished, even if the whole of the undertaking should not be carried into execution. (Hear and a laugh.) If my hon. friend the member for Bristol will take my ad vice, he will have nothing to do with the scheme in ques tion. (Hear.) METROPOLITAN TURNPIKES. _ Lord R. GROSVENOR asked whether it was the in. tention of the Government to take steps towards the ap pointment of commissioners to inquire into the best me thod of removing the tollbars now situated in the metro polig, pursuing the plan which had been adopted in re gard to those in the metropolis of Ireland and its vicinity. Lord PALMERSTON said that no doubt it would be very desirable to accomplish the object which his noble friend had in view, and that it should therefore receive the consideration of her Majesty's Government. Se ich wtas not prepared at present to state the me thod by wh i would be best attained, but the Government would place themselves in communication with the trustees of the metropolitan turnpikes to see what measures would be necessary. (Elem., hear.) COMPENSATION TO BRITISH MERCHANTS. Mr. ADAMS asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern. ment to introduce any measure enabling them to grant compensation to British merchants whose property at Uleaborg, in the. Gulf of Bothnia, was destroyed on June 2, 1854, by the boats of a squadron under the command of Admiral Plumridge ? Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, said that was a case which cane under the principle of international law, which he had stated, the other evening, in reference to the losses suffered by .B4itish subjects at Greytown. Persons who were residing in Russia, though British subjects, would have to take the chances of the Russian empire, if by hostilities the place where they were resid ing became the scene of warlike operations, and no claim could be set up by those persons against the Government whose forces carried on the hostilities by which they hap pened to be sufferers.. BENGAL MILITARY FUND. Viscount GODERICH called attention to the present state of the Bengal Military Fund, and to the relations existing between the East India Company and that fund, and to move for a select committee to inquire into the subject. The fund was one which had been founded by the officers of the Indian army for charitable purposes, and supported by their subscriptions and by certain sums voted by the East India Company. In consequence of the recent occurrences in India, he did not intend to push the motio n, as it might have the appearance of embarrassing the Indian Government, but he Should reserve to himself the right to bring for: ward the matter on a futuro and augniciouA occasion: Tian noble lird concluded by moving Ilia resolution pro fortna, Mr. VERNON SMITH said that the question as it 3od at present was, that in June last the court of directors had, without his consent, sent out a despatch stating that although they did not wave their claim of right, to give or withhold any further contribution to that fund, at the same time, it in the course of a few years from 1856 it should appear that the revenue of the fund shoull not be able to meet the ci arges, they would be inclined to consider whether they could not make some further consideration. Mr. MANGLES expressed his appreciation of the motive which had induced the officers of the Indian ecru and the noble lord, not to press the question at the presvut juncture, and expressed his belief that there was every willingnef.s on a) part of the court of direc tors to meet the matter in a liberal spirit. The motion was then withdrawn. THE LORD LIEUTENANCY OF IRELAND. Mr. ROE BUCK thou rose and said—Sir, I rise to bring forward a motion for the ah lition of the offs of Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland under most auspicious circum taoces. NA that I mean it wilt be so considered by the hou:e, but that I mean it ought to be so considered. My late lamented friend Mr. Hume very often pressed this proposition on the house. He brought it forward under very diffi2olt circumstances. Ire'and in 1824 was in a state of confusion almost unprecedented. In 1830 he also brought forward the propo,ition. 1844, at the time of the monster meetings of Mr. O'Cor. nell, he submitted it to the house ; and io 1850 the then Prime Minister, Lord J. Russell, submitted a bill with the same object to this house, which was carried in this house, under the most disastrous circumstances. Ireland was then subject to the consequencrs of the most dire famine that ever visited that unhappy country. But now how different are the circumstances. Ireland is a part—an integral part of England, governed as Eng land is, subject to no political or natural misfortune. She i 3 now happy in her Government—in her internal and external circumstances—she is, in fact, a flourishing country, and has nothing to cornpliin of. I say this boldly. I say that Ireland is a part—an integral part of the great country to which she now belongr, and has nothing to complain of in her Government, ex:ept in respect to the one matter which I an' about to bring under the consideration of the house. (Hear.) This house has often been called on to abolish the office of Lord-Lieutenant•of Ireland—and vhy ? There are many sorts of alliances between countries. There may be a federal association, such as exists in the United States of America. That is an association, if I may so express myself, of integers; but that is not the present associa tion of Ireland with England. Ireland ought to form part of an association of fractions. We do not say the united kingdoms but the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ; and Ireland ought to be a frac- tional part of the great country to which ehe be- Longs. She is nct and ought not to be considered an independent country ; and in so saying, let not gentlemen from Ireland fancy that I have any wish to say anything offensive to them. Upon this point I may ap peal to my long political career, and I will say that if one word or act of mine could be found derogatory to Ireland I should be ashamed of myself. (Hear, hear.) I think, then, I may appeal to my past career, for everything proposed in this house in order to make Ireland equal to England has had my most strenous support. Therefore, iu proposing, as I now do, that we take from her what I consider the last badge of subj action, I aw not doing her an offence or disadvantage, but an advantage and bene fit. (Hear. hear.) What do I seek to do ? I have said there are various sorts of alliances. The federal alliance Ireland does not now pretend to maintain. Before 1800, when there was a Parliament in Ireland, she might be said to be a kingdom of herself ; but the moment she consented—and - she did—to do away with her Parliament —(Here some one among the Irish representatives, Mr. Napier, we believe, intimated dissent)—My hon. friend shakes his head ;but I say she did consent. IVas it not a Protestant Parliament that consented I Ido not mean ,o say that means were not employed, disgraced ulto land W and to those who employed them, to obtain that consent ' • but still the Protestant Parliament repre senting Ireland consented to the union, and thereby the condition of Ireland as a separate and indepen dent nation was entirely done away with. She consented to be a fractional part of a great whole— the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and what I now; seek to do is to make Ireland the right arm of England. I want every county in Ireland to be like a county in England, and every parish in Ireland to be like a parish in England, and that she should not call herself Ireland, but a part of the united kirgdom of Great Britain and Ireland. I ask what benefit does Ireland derive from her present ano malous condition 1 She has a viceroy —a papier machd sort of royalty. What does the Viceroy of Ireland do for Ireland ? I will tell you. He is the focus of intrigue in Dublin. He makes Ireland dependent, not on her own individual exertions, but on the Government. All those who can afford it run to Dublin, and anybody who knows anything of Dublin knows the sort of scenes that take place before the Lord-Lieutenant there. In London and in England the profession of the law is one of bro• therhood, and there are many hon. and learned gentle men sitting on the opposite benches who are friends and intimates of mine. I never asked whether they were Tories, Whigs, or Radicals, but I have learnt to my utter astonishment and dismay, that gentlemen on this side of the house who are Attorneys and Solicitors General for Ireland have never met in private society with the At torneys and Solicitors General for Ireland on the other side of the house. The gentlemen who are now Attorney and Solicitor General for Ireland never met, I under stand, my right hon. friend opposite (Mr. Napier, we believe, was ailuded to) in private society. Now, I be lieve that this is the result of an influence emanating from the existence of a Lord Lieutenant in Ireland. I believe that the existence in Dablin of that functionary keeps apart all the elements of society in Ireland. It is a sort 01 negative electricity. I would ask, too, what is the expense caused by this tinsel monarch I (Hear.) My late friend Mr. flume said, and I believe truly, that it took 100,0001. a year to keep up that sham monarch. But that is not all. There is a divided responsibility. I would ask how is Ire:aud governed now f Firit, there is the Home Secretary, a Cabinet Minister ; next, there is the Lord Lieutenant, who is not a Cabinet Minister, but a Viceroy ; and then there is the secretary of the Lord Lieutenant in this house. All these three persons are really the governors of Ireland, but not one of them is in connexion with the other, and nobody is respon sible for anything done. (Hear, bear.) I say that this is a great mischief. Tae Lord Lieutenant is a mere sham. He goes to Ireland, and what does be do ? There are certain func.ions of government that belong to the Im perial Government of the country. Now, the Imperial Government ought to be here. I know lam saying that which to Irish ears is grating and harsh, but recollect that we have before our eyes the example of a country united with England under far different circumstances from those in which Ireland was united--namely, Scot- land. Now, Dublin is at present no further from Lon don than Edinburgh, but at the time when Scotland was united with England Edinburgh was in reality three weeks' journey from London, and then no viceroy was placed in Scotland. See the change effected by the electric telegraph and the railways— Dublin is brought within eleven or twelve hours' communication with London. Compare that with the three weeks' journey to Edinburgh, when Scotland was made an integral part of England. Let not, then, any Irish gentleman suppoEe that I mean anything offensive. What I mean is that Ireland should be part of England—really a part, and I think I may appeal to my own political career to show that I do not want to im• pose on Ireland anything which England does not bear. I want an equal law for Irishmen and Englishmen. I don't want the distinction of Irishmen to exist. Cork ought to be like York. (A laugh.) There ought to be no difference between the great county of York and the great county of Cork, except that one is somewhat more distant from London than the other ; but to tell me that there is any difficulty in governing Ireland in consequence of its distance, is to tell me that our forefathers were un able to govern Scotland. Now, is that true t Has not the union of Scotland with England been of the greatest benefit to the former country ? Depend upon it—however_ painful it may be to Irish gentlemen to hear such an opinion—the union of Ireland and England would be attended with thew usurpation, e m a o r utmost benefit h as been e to e n adespotism, Ireland.as disgraces r The ega tr history e.. of this country, so far as Iraland is concerned, up to n a n ce r d ee k ee h a a v e e s e n et t been eth n le iy ir t passed.i ws Titlesho reallyc.,Coer cion ee rt.. l iwa : n ut s dh : i have marked eumreyal Cruelty, d every ccos opposed penc offensive ssAe w i vdc e e t have ,ba uctth e b taoh a pt o d phs e a eyr reformed acts.rwas g ats Nobody opposed the latter measure more strenuously than I did. I think mine was the first voice raised against the proposal, and if there be any mischief arising from that act I think its consequences will defend Ireland from any repetition of such a measure. What have we seen within a few days past ? We have seen a right rev. esttlheTrpeehPleEeaf English dominion ; b ut prelate of the Catholic Church of Ireland claiming the title of Archbishop of Tuaw, and you have not dared to put in force the act of Parliinient you were foolish enough to pass. He boldly asserted that he was Arch bishop of Team. Now, if any offence can be committed under the act this is one. (Hear, hear.) Is there any mail bold enough—is there any man insane enough—to endea7 your to enforce that act against the right rev. prelate 3 I perceive by the working of the lace of friend the member for North Warwickshire (Mr. Spooner), that he does not like tbis. laugh.) I take it to be one of the strongest proofs of the truth of what I assert that, although the right rev, prelate has called himself Archbishop entertains such strong n i adeis th e e ef p e, ro a v e i d sio t n h s et oniotihnet intervention of of Tfeuealimeg, feelings themy shuohni.eefrti,endede, does not d ea rt y re , t t h o ee p t ut th in at o of this kind will be repeated. (Hear, hear.) Now, whet injury, I ask, can possibly arise to Ireland from the abolition of the office of Lord-Lieutenant ? I have beep threatened with opposition by my hon. friend the mem plereralat ber for the University of Dublie, and I can understand w hy he opposes my proposal. He represents Dablin. He represents the milliners—(loud laughter)—and I can understand that those ladies will be very strongly op posed to any proposal which will abolish the sham of the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland. (" Hear," and a laugh.) There is, however, something I cannot under. stand, and that is, why my hon. and learned friend the meniter for Yarmouth (Mr. M'Culisgh) intends to move " the previous question" upon my proposition. Now, what is the previous question 1" It is, in fact, saying, "I agree in what you say, but the time at which you pro. nouact your doctrine ie uppropitions.!
