TUESDAY.

The morning sitting was oocarned in committees
with the details of the Medical Practitioners Bill (which
was ordered to be recommitted) and the Local Govern.
ment Bill.

In the evening,
Lord HOTRAM moved the following resolution :
" That it is contrary to the usage and derogatory to the
dignity of this House that any of its members should
bring forward, promote, or advocate in this House any
proceeding or measure in which he may have acted or
been concerned for, or in consideration of, any pecuniary
fee or reward." _

The motion was seconded by Mr. DIVETT.
After some further discussion upon a division it was
resolved, by 151 to 80, that the queetion should be put;
and upon a further division, the resolution was carried
by 210 to 27.
Mr. LlNnsav moved a resolution, that the mode of
collecting the taxes, both assessed and income, was at-
tended with great disadvantage and loss, and required
immediate attention. He proposed that the collectors
should be appointed by the Government, who should
take proper securities.
The motion was seconded by Mr. W. WILLIAMS.
Sir J. TROLLOPS said the proper remedy was to revise
the Act 43rd of George 111., sap. 99, and make •
receipt given by a proper officer a sufficient dis-
charge.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that
Mr. Lindsay was justified in bringing this subject before
the House, and no doubt the grievance was a serious
one. Still he hoped he would nit press his motion, as
the subject, which demanded very great thought and
contrivance, was under the consideration of the Govern-
ment. . .

The motion was withdrawn.
Mr. TITE moved for a Select Committee to inquire in-
to the laws relating to lunatics under the care of the
Court of Chancery; but after HOMO remarks by
The SOLICITOR-GENEIIAL and MT. DRUMMOND, the
motion was withdrawn.
Lord J. Rossam, reoved for leave to bring in • Bill
to amend and consolidate the Itamelating to Batkrupts
and Insolvents.
The ATTORNET•GENERAL did not oppose the intro-
duction of the Bill, and, after some remarks by Mr.
HEADLAM, leave was given.
Mr. CORBETT InOyed for a Select Committee to COM
eider the law and practice as regards the taking of
inquisitions; the appointment, duties. and remunera-
tion of the officers employed ; and whether any and
what alteration should be made is any such matter'.
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
the debate was adjourned.
Mr. ld'Caerg obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the
sale of grain, meal, flour, butter, and potatoes, and othbr
agricultural produce, by the pound avoirdupois, the
score of 20 pounds, the hundred weight of 100 pounds;
and the ton of 2,000 pounds.
Mr. Pau a Bill to provide for the conveyance of
County, City, and Borough Property to the Clerk of the
Peace or Town Clerk of the Couety, City, or Borough.
The House adjourned at a quarter to one o'clock.

WEDNESDAY.
On the order for the second reading of the Registration
of Partnerships Bill,
Lord GoDERICEI stated its object—namely, that all
perions who entered into partnership and traded urder
any other name than their own, or as • company, should
be required to make known to the public, who and what
they were ; and, for that purpose, that their names
should be entered upon a A
Mr. COLLIER moved to defer second reading for six
months.
The amendment was seeonded by Mr. MOFFATT.
Mr. BAXTER argued in support of the Bill, citing oases
which showed the advantwe that would result from re.
gistration even by the humbler classes of traders.
Mr. WARREN opposed the Bill, the sure effect of which
would be, he said, to drive capital out of trade, to the
injury of small traders.
Hr. BAINES said the Bill would enable parties to con.
tracts to know with whom they were dealing; its mate.
rial effect would be to check ffittitious credit and false
trading.,
Mr. WIGUZLIK °filleted to the Bill that it undertook,
on the part of the State, to do what indiduale should
do for themselves.
Mr. BPOONKR observed that the simple question then
was, would the House recognize the principle that a man
should have the means of ascertaining to whom he gave
credit? With that principle hi cordially concurred, and
he should vote for the second reading.
Mr. CARDWELL dented that the Bill proposed to inter-
fere with the liberty of indt,riduals ; but in the existing
law there were pitfalls and difßaulties which prevented
individuals from taking effectual precautions for their
proteetion, and the principle of the Bill was to remove
these diffioulties. In one word, publicity was the prin-
ciple of the measure.
Mr. HENLEY recommended Lord Goderich not to ask
the House to pledge itself for or against the Bill.
Mr. GURNEY, Mr. Hoalte4B, and Colonel PATTEN,
though his name was on the back of the Bill, and lie sup•
ported its principle, added their entreaty to Lord Gods.

Committee.' Scrntiny
Mr. Wanase moved to defer the second reeding for ds
months, contending that the Bill would derange the
whole machinery of the election law.
Mr. Joust Lance supported the Bill, which, he said,
would remedy • very great and admitted grievance.
After seine further discuulon the House divided,
when the amendment was carried by 125 to 87; so the
Bill is lost.
Mr. PAULL, in moving that tho Piers and Harbours
Bill be read a second time, stated his reasons for Intro-
ducing the Bill, its object, and provisions.
Lord LoVAINII suggested thee it would be better, con•
sidering thet the Bill would require an additional staff
in the Board of Admiralty, upon wiled) it would confer
large powers to aarry it into effect, that it should stand
over until next minion.
Mr. PAULL ooneented to withdraw the Bill, but some

Sir B. HALL made a vain attempt to induce Mr. Rolt
to withdraw his amendment.
Mr. WARREN supported the amendment, contending
that the matter was not yet ripe for the decision of the
House. He denounced the measure as one of spoilation
and confiscation.
Lord J. RUSSELL observed that no sufficient answer
had been given to Sir G. Grey's objection, that the ques-
tion raised by Mr. Holt could not be tried by a select
committee.
Mr. LABOUCHERE hinted that it NW for the interest
of the Corporation not to quarrel with the present
Bill.
After some remarks by Mr. NORRIS the debate was
adjourned.
In the evening, on the order for considering the Com-
miasioners for the Exhibition of 1851 Bill, as amended,
• discussion arose upon an amendment moved by Mr.
WILSON with reference to a plot of land of twelve acres,
over which, he thought, the Government should retain
a control for its appropriation to public purposes not
connected with ardent* and art.
The amendment was negatived upon • division, and
the Bill was ordered to be read • third time on Friday.
On the order for the second reading of the Govern-
ment of India (No. 3) Bill,
Lord STANLEY said that, considering the discussion
which this subject had already undergone, he thought it
unnecessary to offer any protracted comments on the
Bill. The details would be more appropriately discussed
in the committee. The principles of the melt/lure—that
the Government of India should be transferred to the
Crown, that the administration of Indian affairs should
be by a responsible Minister, and that this Minister
should be assisted by • Council, had been already sane-
tioned by the House. He then proceeded to justify the
proposed constitution of the Council, the number of 15,
the members to hold office for life, the mode of their
appointment, seven to be elected by the Court of Direct-
ors of the East India Company from among persons who
were or had been of their own body, the other eight to
be nominated by Her Majesty, and the manner in which
vacancies were to be filled up. The salaries of the menu-
hers of Council it was proposed to fix at £1,200 a year,
with retiring pensions, upon a large and liberal scale, of
£5OO after ten years' service, and £BOO after a service of
15 years. He explained the duties and procedure of the
Council, adding that he should propose in the committee
a proviso (not in the Bill) that the Council should meet
once a week. He stated what were the powers end what
was the moral influence with which it was desired to
clothe the Council, and with respect to matters requir-
ing,secrecy the Minister would have the option of cre-
ating • secret committee. As tq the finances, it appeared
to the Government that the machinery contained in
Lord Palinerston's Bill MU totally inadequate and illu-
sory, and that object would be better attained by regular
and periodical Indian accounts being laid before the
House. With regard to the army, it was proposed that
the scientific departments should be open to competition ;
that one-tenth of the other cadetships should be given to
the sons of Indian civil or military servants, and the
remainder disposed of according to the existing system,
it being the object of the Government to disturb as little
as possible the present state of things. The 29th clause
I in the Bill, empowering the Governor-General to ap-
point Lieutenant-Governors, the Government proposed
I to submit to full and free discussion in the Committee.
holding themselves at liberty to abandon it. There was
a provision in the Bill for sending out to India a coin-
mission to inquire into its finances. This clause he pro-
posed to withdraw, it being intended to settle in com-
munication with the Indian Government the best
method of obtaining the aaine end.
Mr. BRIGHT said, he did not rise to oppose the second
reading of We Bill, although there were clauses in it to
which he had serious objections. He made a long
wordy speech, and in conclusion, said he would, when
tins Bill passed, proclaim a general amnesty, put an end
to all mischievous inquiries into titles to lauded estates,
and hold sacred the right of adoption, telling the people
of India that the Christian religion was true and the
best for mankind, but that that religion taught us to
respect the rights of conscience, and that the Parlia-
ment and the Queen of England had resolved that no
wrong should be done to the millions that professed
creeds that they believed to be true; and he would
establish a Court of Appeal in India, composed of Judges
of high character, for the settlement of disputes between
the Government and its subjects.
Mr. WHITESIDE observed that while Mr. Bright had
preached hesitation in approaching this question lie had
proceeded to demolish everything existing in India in
the shape of government. The task which the present
Government had in hand was one of the most formid-
able ever undertaken by any Government, demanding
the utmost care to ensure its performance wisely and
well : but he augured good results from the scheme sub-
mitted to the House.

_
After some remarks by Mr. P. O'BRIEN,
Mr. V. SMITH observed that the speech of Mr. Bright
had suggested subjects worthy of grave consideration,
especially whether India might not be advantageously
divided into Presidencies. He reviewed some of the
other details of the Bill, the second reading of which he

supported.
The Bill having undergone certain criticisms by
Colonel SYKES,
Mr. ROEBUCK said he believed the Bill wee not des-
tined to a very long existence; that it was brought for-
ward under pressure by persons unwilling to do what
they were forced to do. He now regarded Lord
Palmerston's Bill as better than this, which was a thing
of shreds and patches.
Mr. T. BARING protected against the adoption of Mr.
Roebuck's theory, that the whole power should be
entrusted to a single Minister unless India was to be
left, like the colonies, to govern itself. As the House
had determined to legislate for India this session, it was
its duty to take care that there should be en independent
Council to assist the Minister.
The Bill was then lead a second time.

Several Bills passed througl7committee or were for-
warded their respective stages.
The House then resumed the consideration in com-
mittee of the remaining clauses of the Sale and Transfer
of Land (Ireland) Bill, and afterwarde went through the
other orders of tho day and motions, adjourning at
1 o'clock.
FRIDAY. . .

At the morning sitting -Wu; "flow° wad occupied in
committee with the details of the Univerditied (Scotland)
Bill. . . . . . .

In the evening, on the motion of the House at its rim
ing do adjourn until Monday,
Mr. K. Sicvsixa called attention to the Sunday fair
in Houndsditch, and asked whether it was intended to
take any steps for its suppression.
Sir H. CARDEN dosoribed the abominations in Patti.
ooat-lane and in other localities on Sunday mornings,
which' owing to the state of the existing law, Gould not
be put down, and which, he said, were working great in-
jury among the labouring olasseli.
Mr. 0. STANLEY called attention to the putrid state
of the river Thames, whioh he justly described as an
intolerable nuisance, that, with the continuance of high
temperature, threatened a pestilence.
Mr. TITE explained the oauses of the evil, which
arose from the vast amount of sewage water discharged
Into the river, great part of which, after being carried
down by the tide, was returned. The remedy, he ob.
served, was diffioult, but he offered suggestions towards
the alleviation of the evil.

811. 3. PAXTOW, though he eould not recommend any
particular 'ahem, suggeeted the carrying intercepting
sewers through London, and tho discharge of the
sewage below Sea Reach.
Lord .1. MANNERS said, with respect to the river and
sewage of London, it was perfectly impossible to give
anything like a satisfactory answer. The law gave the
Government no power to submit any pion to the Metro.
politan Board of Works. He could assure the House,
however, that the subject woe engaging the moot serious
attention of the Government, and before the seuion
cloud stops would be taken to confer, if newnwary,
powers upon the Board of Works or some other depart.
mint that would provide snore perfect machinery.
The motion for adojurnment was agreed to.
The Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 Bill
Yu read a third time and passed.
The House then went into committee upon the
lovernment of India (No. 3) Bill,
The 3rd clause, which give, to the Secretary of State
all the powers relit/hi/ to the Government or revenues
of India now exercised by dot Rut India Company,
with or without the sanction of the Board of Control,
WIN strongly objected to as conferring upon the Score•
tory of State, without check or limit, too large an
authority, and Mr. C. Fogritscux moved to insert "in
council," but this amendment wu negatived upon a
division by 221 to 77.
On the 7th clause, establishing a Council of India, to
amulet of 15 members,
Lord PALM SHAWN Objected that this WAS a cumbrous
Ind inoonvenient number, and moved to substitute
Lord STANLIT considered that the number of 15 was
not too large, the Council, under the 20th clause, being
.41tyleib1a 11141401WWinwIll.
Upon s division, the number of 15 wasioarried by 921
•to 165.
Lord PALIIIIWITOII then moved, after the word " mem.
ben," to insert "to be appointed by Her Majesty by
warrant under her Royal sign manual."
The amendment WM negatived upon a division V 940
to 147.
Mr. GLADIITONII intimated that he should move that
the names of the members he inserted in the Bill, and
upon his motion the Chairman was ordered to re•
port progress.
The House adjourned at 5 minutes to 1 o'clock until
Monday.
