Oa the =Dike for going Into comioittes of supply,

that it was exi2tithat %harlot) of ascertaining the facts
upon which I in respect to private bill wee to

lazy labour was thrown upon private members by the
existing system of refining matron of feet to committer
which might be better asserieined by some competent
and impartial arbitiator. It imposed upon member, the
teak of deciding on subjects of which they had no proceed
knowledge i and the offset was that much 411104064 km
wee felt out of doors at many of their decisions.
Mr. IL GIBSON admitted that the duties im-
posed upon members of oonsinittess woes of an arduous
character, but coetiorted for tho necessity of an ultimate
ripped to parliament. He denied that great dimatisfactioe
existed out of loon at the decisions of oommittees, ad
exprewed his apprehension lest the adoption of say such
propoml as that now or formerly made would but create
fresh impedimenta, and, coo gently, add to the expense
of conducting the private bill of parliament
The dim:nation was wetland y Colosel WilsowPatten,

urged that it was desirable that when peat public works
were coecereed the member, of the ocearnittee should parses
some knowledge of the localities.
Ultimately the motion was withdrawn, a division being
impossible without counting out the hone, art W membin
only were present.

INDLIN CURRENCY.
Mr. J. B. SMITH moved that the inereaaings trade and
commerce of India, and the oonsequent iolaaaieg demand
for a portable circulating medium, required that a gold cur-
reney should be established in that empire. The hoe. gen-
tleman observed that constant oornplainte wan received
from India with regard to the &Scotty experienced iu in-
troducing commodities for want of a convenient circulating
medium, and called upon the government to state what
their intentions cm the eubjeet were.
Colooel SYKES, speaking from personal experience, said
that the people of India were quite prepared for a gold
COillage, either native or European, provided It was puce.
Sir C. WOOD admitted that the subject was interesting
and important, but the paper circulation in India had been
_weirpenesessful, and was accepted by those who wen,
sopped in 001:11111.1.01) there. For gold there was little de-
mend, whilst silver sad copper circulated extensively.
Even if a gold coinage were established, be doubted if it
would be of any great usissame in conducting mercantile
operatace& He was unable to ascertain what was the
value of gold in the markets of India with such certainty m
to place any reliance upon it, but the memorials upon the
subject were under the oonsideratien of the government of
India; he could not, therefore, undertake to give au assu-
rance of what he was disposed to do until be had received
their opinion.

After some remarks from Nr. WATKIN and Kr. Gomm,
the motion was withdrawn.
EDIJOATION (EOOTLA.ND).

In &newer to Hr. DOILOP,
Mr. BRUCE said that a commission having been ap•
pointed to inquire whether the national system of educa-
tion could be establish«l in Scutlaod'on the Naiad the old
patoebialsystant, it became a question whether. ad interim,
the revised code might not be put in operation in that
gauntry. Her Majesty's government had determined upon
not applying the revised code pending the investigation of
the commission.

The house then went into oonmaittee of supply.
SUPPLY.
GRANT TO SIR ROWLAND HILL
On the mw.s. from the Queen reoonamendiag n great of
20,0001. to Sir RowLnd Hill being med.

Viscount PALMERSTON rose end said—Sir, I trust the
house will be dispersed, without soy objectiou, to concur in
the recommeadation of her Majesty which has just been
read. (Cheers.) Sir R. Hill is • man of great genius, of
peat sagacity, of great perseverance sod industry, and who
baa rendered very important senior to this country, sad
I may say to other countries also. Sir R. Hill had ob-
served that the Postal department was more • deportment
for • performance of earner than a mere department
for the collection of revesue ; sod with • holdoses which
staggered a great number of persons who had not looked
at the question from the same peat of view from which he,
had regarded it, he recommended • large reduction is the
rate of postage, in confidence that in the end it would bring
the revenue up to the same amount, seeing that
in the meantime it would *Doter the greatest possible hese-
fit on the community at large. There were grave doubts
about it ; many people thought that his expectations were
too sanguine ;tat the number of kitten would not increase
to the extent he had reclaimed they would Mamas ; sod that
the revenue would not recover the great shock which a
reduction to a peony would amts. noes predictions were
falsified, and all his calculatious turned out to be correct.
(Cheers.) And he has for nearly • quarter of a century
preformed the very arduous duties which devolved on
him in the execution of his sciteme. He is now ata time life
when his health mascot he suppoesd to have withstood
the effect of the greet labour which attached to his office,
and the Treasury on that ground have give him permission
to num and they have done that which I am sure the
house will look epos with indulgence—they have given him
his full salary for life. (Cheers.) He is sow is the 70th year of
hie age, and his health heir bees shattered by the labour,he
W had to perform. Under these aircumstanoee her Majesty
ha. thought that this bootie would consider that the great
implore which Sir Rowland Hill has performed would
recommend him for a grant, which would enable him
to make those armagemeete for his family which
the short period during which Providence may permit him
to enjoy his retiring pension would otherwise probably not
enable him to effect. The result otitis labours hes really
been beatiacial beyond that which may Male persons at lint
eight. It is quite clear that the facility which the peony
post barn given to all the truism:tame of commerce—to all
the communicatioes corrected with the industry of the
country, most have been infinitely advantageous to the in.
dostry of the country, and also by that means to
the revenue, not the revenue of the Post-Mlle&
but that revenue which Semi out of the gorged
industry and prosperity of the wintry. In that point of
view he has performed a very peat genies to the country.
Hat there is another point of view from which his merits
should be csloulated —lamely, the degree of happiness and
comfort which hie invention—for I may mill it an inventioa—
his plan has conferred on the poorer OWNS of the moo
!sanity, upon the millions, and that for a great period of
time. Why, when the postage was as high as it
was before this plan wee introduced, the relatives of
poor families were mattered in different ports of the
country, their commusiostions were eat off—for
bow could • poor laboariog man pay Is. or 6d.
for a letter? The coomounicatioes of families were almost
as difflault, perhaps more difficult, than they are now
between England and Australia. Well, air, the cultivatioo
of the affections is a thing that raises men in their own
estimation—which raises them is the standing they occupy
in society. It improves their murals, and mimeos all
these qualities which teed to make them useful members of
soceety. Therefore, I my, the merits of Sir R. Hill, lode-
pendently of the fact of his plan having contributed to the
CZ:prosperity of the counv, are manifested by its
conferred such great benefits upon all the labouring
and poorer chimes of the coommenity, and entitle him to the
approbation and to the rewards which this bones may be
xsed to confer upon him. (Cheers,) Now, in 1838, the period
before which his plan came into operation, the number of
letters transmitted through the post in the course of the
year was 76 millions, while in 1863 the number of kitten
transmitted by the Post-office was 642 millions. (Hear, hear.)
Now that is a meanie of the degree in which that plan has
assisted the industry and oceitribeted to tho comfort and
happiest' of the community in this country. There an
various relations connected with this plan independent
of the mere amount of mosey paid for letters,
smog others, the facility which his armagemente have
give. for mosey orders—for the tremenissicie of money is
small sums from one part of the country to another. la
1838. the amount of money orders at the Post-office was
313,000/. In 1863, it was 16,494,0001. (Beer, hear.)
Now, what an immense advaatage that meet be to the
orenniusity at large—the facility of safe traissinimieu of
small sums, which otherwise it might be very difficult.
and in some eases expensive, to transmit. Then there is
the book post, which is greatly to the interests
of literature, and is an arrangement which ha. been most
extensively taken advantage of. The grow meows of
the Post-office heeler:reared very greatly, but of coarse the
facilities that have been given have multiplied the somber of
officers, and therefore increesed naturally the outgoing'.
But the pose receipts were in 1838, 2,346,0031. ; and in
1863 they were 38,700,000/. ; therefore showing that Sir R.
Hill was perfectly borne out in reckoning that at so distant
period the receipts of the Post•office would recover from
the reduction which the carrying at of him plea would
naturally at first produce. in point of feet, sir, everybody
is well acquainted with the manta of Sir IL Bare plan and
with the good effects it bee produced k and I am persuaded
that the home will willingly concur in this proposal that
is now made to them. (Cheers.)
Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that so person entertained a
stronger feeling of respect than he did far the terriers of
Sir Rowland Hill. At the same time he could not but
remember that for years before Sir Booked Hill's plan
was promulgated, Mr. Wallace was in that home the advo-
cate of postal reform. No doubt peat public services
ought to be rewarded, but years ago a public sub-
ten ptios was entered into for Sir Rowland Hill,
and afterwards • pension was granted him d
2,000/. a year. He could not, therefore, reinioclle it
to his ooneciencelo voti.him 20,0001. additional.
Mr. J. EWART said • public meeting had bees held is
Liverpool, at which the mayor presided, at which they ex.
pressed so opioioa that the proposed grant of 20,0001. wee
Madeqnate.

believed that the advantages of cheap e were alto-
gether iagetirnable, sad they minded set to arse,

Mr. CRAWFORD said it was hardly netressory that
public testinny should beengiv of the asthmatics in which
air Rewind Hill's serrkes were held, but representatives
of large commercial communities baring expressed their
opinion, be thought it was hardly proper that the (City of
London should be admit on the subject. He therefore, en
the part el the City of Loudon, begged lemmas hie hearty
oneeneeee in all that bed been said in favourer the vote.
He hoped that the prieciple that Sir Rowland Hill applied
to internal memo weak( be applied to external postage,
and that before long as ocean penny postage would be
established. •

Nr. MALIN% es the representative of a small °coati-
homey, heartily ooecurred ir all that had fallen from the
other side of the house in support of this bill.
Br. MARSH alio eapewrd hia coacerrence in the vote.
IL SMITH also thwarted the vote.
Yr. COX said he shank be sorry if the holism of the
sestispolie on this subjeot were supposed to be represented
by the hon. member for Lambeth. He was quite sure there
was not a mac iv the metropolis who would cot approve of
this vote, and sa to the subscriptioe to Sir Rowland
be was folly entitled to it. He thought it a gracious way
of acknowledging the debt of gratitude they Ivrea ander
1 to Sir Rowland Hill hr the suggestion that he made, and
for the ability with which be carried it into effect.
Sir F. BARING said, having been Chancellor of the Br-
chequer at the time Sir Rowland Hill introd aced his schemes
he wished to bear his lestitnoey to the value of the services
of that public servant. The difficulties wars great, and at
the time there was a whom holies against it is many quar-
ter, bat Sir Rowland Hilt, by his calm good reuse, encoun-
tered and overcame them AIL

Mr. Npaik rid he had the honour of being "rate
secretary of the right boa. baronet who had just addressed
the house at the time this eobecoe wail brought forward, and
while they remembered the genic« of Sir Rowlaad Hill it
waa right they should also remember the support be re-
caved fromthose in office at that time.
Mr. P. HENNESSY wished to ask the noble vimount
at the bead of the goverareeet bow it happened that Sir
Rowland Hill always held a subordinate office, and was lemur
made Postmaster-Geeing, an office shiala was reserved for
dukes and earls? Aa Poirtinaster-General he would have
received 5,0001. a year. (Hear, hear.) Is any other coun-
try in Europe a man Lie Sir Rowland Hill would have hem
rewarded with such an alnwilitment, and not been laft in a
subordinate pest.
Lard PALMERSTON—Sir, there an two very good rea-
sons, I think, why it would have beers no benefit to Sir
Rowland Hill to hew* been made Postmaster•Gmeral firrt,
however, he would have had no increase of salary while be
held the office and secondly, because ha wassl4l have had
to go out oo a ehaoge of government. (Laughter.) I just
wwh to sneerer one observation of my bon. friend the mem-
ber for Lambeth. He said he did not believe the Peet-office
itdits expenses. Now, the net revenue of the Postrofßos
the year 1863, after paying the expeams, was
1,790.0

Ur. D. GRIFFITH maid it was a remarkable thin that
the practice bed swum op of appoistlac a peer to as office
of a commercial and mechanical elmineter. That wee, he
believed, a remnant of the oorrordiona of past times, and be
should like to know why the practice was coutinned.
Mr. WHITE mid the ridge lord (Lord Palmerston) would
pardon him for =yin that thspeoketeerviee ease 1.000,000 i..
no that the net revenue was only 700,0004 la making this
remark he wee far from wishing to detract from the roents

Trade.

Mr. A. Smrra and Mr. W. Wttuans complained of the
,incriens in the estimate.
Mr. M. GIBSON mid the increase arose from • desire to
make the department more efficieut. It was also partly
attributable to the increase of brainier' teoeived by the
Board of Trade from the Admiralty, and to the annual
Morelos of the malaria* of the clerks. As to Admiral
Fitzroy's system it would be • pity to give it up, for,
I although be had not always been cornet in his predictieos,

Mr. AUGUSTUS SMITH moved that the vote be reduced

Lord PALMERSTON observed that so far from there
beMg any such arrangement it was distinctly greed, when
the notion for adjournment was rendered no longer neces-
sary on Friday, that supply should be invariably moved on

Mr. 00X moved that the chairman should leave the

This was an essminatir-inrowiting under the bankruptcy
of Willm. Thos. Barris, described as a wholesale statiorier,
of Queenhitiie. The petition was presented on the 9th of
April last, oa behalf of the Eaglah and Irish Beak.
Messrs. Howard sod Balboa's, of Feochiu-cli-street,
appeared for the assignees.
From the depositions it ammo that the English and Irish
Bank held two bid* an. ler 224 16e., draws on ft. Horsey, of
Portage, arid the other for 331. Is. 9d, upon B. Gardner, of
Portsmouth. Upon Aries geotletneo being applied to for
paymeat, they both depleted that they knew nothing of the
and that they were forgeries. Upon this the hank
placed the matter is disbands of their solicitor, who had as
interview with the bankrupt's eta, and pointed out the
seriocomic' of lb* case. The son maid he did Doi know
where his father bad gone, and refused to give up his private
address. Upon being pressed whether be had " bolted," he
replied that he might have done so, and upon being further
questioned as to the Naiades and 'teak being sold, be replied,
it might be ; there wares thousand chances to *se about it."
Upon further inquiry being instituted, it was found that the
East London Bask hold soceptanoss purporting to be those
of • Mr. Rowe. but upon bang applied to ha stated them to
be forgeries. The bank thereupon applied to the Lord Mayor
for a warrant for the apprehension of the bankrupt, which
was granted and placed in the hinds of an offioer, but
hitherto be has earaped appreheasioa. About the same time
the Eoglish and Irish Beak took stela in bankruptcy, and
notices to surrender were posted on tbe ban • premises
by the messenger and his easistanta, but be has not done so.
The liabilities are stated to be very heavy, but the amount
at liniment proved against the estate only anioanta to 2,6881.
The bankrupt was ordered to be proclaimed in the usual
form.
