CONSOLIDATION OF STATUTES.
Mr. L. KING moved that it is the opiates of this house,
that a new, complete, and systematic edition of the statutes
sew in force, omitting all such easements as are repealed,
obsolete, or expired, would be or TO accessible and iatelli-
gffide to members of pediment, sod to the generality of
Majesty's subjects, than the presest statute book, and
eight to be undertaken under the authority of this house.
That a select committee be appointed to inquire ir.to the

Mats rei a aiei, obit/lOW, or expired. At present there wen
17,0001 ,'..tutee which were dispersed in 40 quarto volumes,
or 100 iataeo volumes. But as there were only 2,500 of
these salutes in force, he thought it would be advisthl•
to have th,ae statstu separated from the rest and printed
by theoretics.
Sr G. U KEY said that the government were sot prepared
to assent to the motion. Thoth was • commission for
revising sad coneeddataag the whole smote law' and that

mlttes rat th.it house. It was quite true that • great many
of the statutes were either expressly or impliedly repealed,
but it would be hazardous to omit altogether statutes
which w re •ealy repealed by implication, or had become

8 I members having supported the motion,
Lord I'ALMERSTON said that what had passed (ally
proves the importance of the subject under consideratioe,
sod a 1.9 the 'atrium difficulty of carrying that outdid
to a prim-mai cad. He understood his honourable
friend to mean, not that the committee of that
Mies thoolu go through the labour of eoasideriag all the
statutes, but that they should report upon the best means
of forming a e inertias of those actually in force. Now,
with all respect for his boo. hued, he thought that thi
government would he better qualified to take the necessary
asps teas • committee of that house. With regard to the
objections a,l :be bon. and learned member who had last
spokes. i.e (Lard Palmerston) would remind the house that
the true taco ion of the sonsaiimion was this : to report to
the parliament what statutes were actually in force and upon
the beet mote of consolidating them ; and this being
dose, it was for parliament to consider whether
it wool I *sect measures carrying the reecinnenda-
tioss at commissioaen into effect. With regard to the
motion ut .tes hon. friend he could only say this, that her
Meassty's government was most anxious to carry out the

under cairn tendon' and that inquiries would be soh ism

every m..e. would be taken to press forward those labelers
with as moth haste as the nature of the subject wadi
admit. leathaseh, however, as he thought the course pro-
posed bI the lea. member would not lead to the malaise=
of the uhject ix view, he could not give the motion his
support

J. RUSSELL said that any mere abridgmest of
W statutes by private parties would be of no authority with
the fridges, even it executed under the direction of the
Mum of Commons. It was a very different thing to reeks
the statutes and leave out by authority those that were hies

TER ROYAL INSTITUTION.

Last night a lecture was deirsrsd at this institu-
tion, by Mr. Bradbury, OR Nature Printing, a proem by
which orioles of objects is nature are obtained with a fidelity
and exactness sash as it would be impossible for the most
akilfat artist to attain with his pencil. The principle of the
art appears to have been known as far back as 250 years ago,
lad to have been applied in the first instance to the taking
impressions of pleats for the papaws of botanists. A lea,
being placed over an oil lamp, yea, when blackened sad
mollified by the heat, placed between two sheets of paper,
and, a violent pressure being applied to it, the most
accurate copy of it, to the minutest detail, was
obtained. The lecturer, having shown the process
by experiment, and sakibited prints of plants thus obtain d,
rsea to trees the pewees of the art to its neat step,
h:ltag impressions by steel rollers, in which ewe it was
esestrary fur the pieta lilies perfectly dry. As the taking
intgemeeme Ihms nature was extremely valuable,
