Lords. Having slated bia grounds of opposition the hon.
but cenoloded by moviog that the bill be read a mooed
time that day six months.
Sir B. BRlDGEAlieconded His amendment.

Mr. W. MARTIN supported the amendment
Mr. MASSEY supported the bill.
The amendment was neptived without a division, and the
bill passed the second
I NAVAL STATIONS IN THE PACIFIC.
Mr. WATKIN asked the Seesslary to the Admiralty
whether her Majesty's government, bearing in mind the ex-
istence sad extension of the naval stations of the United
States near San Francisco, and of Russia at Sitka, proposed
to establish any means for enabling the docking and repair
of her Majesty's ships in the North Pacific ; and if so,
whether the harbour of Esquimalt had been selected as the
site.

CIIILDERS said the governmeet had received a
proposal from a company for the coostruction of a dock at
the end of Esquimalt Bay, and asking for certain water
rights, and offering that her Majesty's ships should have
20:111011 to the dock. Under certain restrictions with respect
to the powers of the Indian Council those rights had bees
granted, and they bad also stated the number of ships that
would probably use the dock. There was no other proposal
at peanut on the subject, but there was a committee sitting
upon the question of docks for the navy at home and
abroad, before which the matter would tome.

father of AIWA Sala, AMU ul•llowlah, and the East lathe
Company, of the 30th July, 1801, bad been declared void.
The boo. gentleman contended that by this treaty, on the
cession of the Carnatic, the royal dignity and titles, with
certain revenues, were secured in perpetuity to Amore-W-
M,lah sad his heirs, whereas at the death of the first sue.
osseor of the Nawab the government of Madras decreed that
the treaty was a formal one with Assem-ul-Dowlah, and
refueed.to ackowledge the succession, leaving the heir
recognised by the treaty a beggar.
Mr. H. GRENFELL urged that no practical injustice
had been done to Azeem Jab, and that if a committee was
granted, it would be an admission that injuetios had been
done to him.

i...IFTAGUSSON urged that by the treaty of 1801
there was no express stipulation for the succession of the
descendants by hereditary right, but it was to be admitted
by the grace and favour of the East lodic Comppaanoy, who
were thus empowered to put a stop to the eunosmion, d they
chose as • matter of policy to do so.
Mr. H. J. BMI.I.TE was of opinion that if this was a
cue of policy he might be inclined to agree in the course
which had been adopted, but it was a question of the faith
of treatise and the honour of this country.
Mr. VANSI7TAIT opposed, and Colonel STICZEI supported
the motion.

Mr. LO WE pointed out that in 1801 the original treaty
made with the Nawabs of the Cernatic was forfeited by
the discovery of a treasonable correspondence between the
Naweb, pretending to be the ally of England, with Tippoo
Bsib, but the Marquis Wellesley clemently arranged a new
treaty, allowing the Nawabs to hold the regal title and
some revenue on certain conditions, and in this nothing
was said of heirs and succeeders, slid the continuance of
the ansogement depended only on the will of the East
India Company, and it was an act of discretion on the part
of an Indian government to put au end to the titular
dignity of the Nawab.

The bowie then divided. The numbers was:
For the motion 62
Against it
Majority in favour of the Bygazza
;saving the chair and against the
amendment —l7

Mr. HENNESSY said the question apes which they had
just divided was one involving the character of the country,
and of the department over which the right hon. gentleman
opposite (Jr C. Wood) presided. He presumed it was from
some misapprehension that no member of the Treasury
Bench had risen to answer the statement. of hon. members
on that (the opposition) side of the hones.
Mr. MALINS said the motion was one which impugned
the conduct of the government, and be thought, under such
circumstances, it was the duty of the right hon. gentleman
who represented the government on this occasion to defend
it. He considered the exultation shown by hon. members
opposite very ill-timed, seeing that they had allowed the
honour of the country to go undefended.
Lord PALMF.RSTON said nothing could be more un-
founded than the assertion that there had been any exults-
ties in the matter. If there was any exultation it must
base been in consequence of a noble lord and hon. sad
learned gentleman who eat opposite, full of the sub-
ject and prepared to support the amendment, being
so entirely dumbfounded by the speeches against it
that they did not attempt to rise. (Laughter.)
It had been the Maim of hoe. gentlemen opposite
lately to lie by, sod to endeavour to force the member of the
government whose duty it was to reply to make his state-
ment ; and, contrary to the usual courtesy of parliament, to
reserve their attack until he sat down. Those tactics the
government would submit to. (Hear, hear.) On the
present occasion it was totally unnecerary for his right
bee, friend to get up, for the honour of England had
been
.amply vindicated by several hon. gentlemen, and
.specially by his right hop, friend the member for Caine.
(Hear, hear.)
Sir F. KELLY regretted that the noble lord opposite
Mould have made this matter of amusement. He admitted
that he had been outwitted by the hon. sod learned gentle-
Mtn opposite. All he would now my wee that, if consistently
with the forme of the house . I

Mr. OSBORNE rose to order. Wu there any question
before tbehocae T. _ .

HENIvE99Y said the question before them was, that
they ge into committee of supply.
Sir F. KELLY thought it right to give notice that if be
could, consistently with the tonne of the house, appeal to
their justice end honour upon a subject which he considered
bad ban barked by this course takea that evening, he should
certainly take the earliest opportunity of doing so.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was surprised that allusion
had berm mode to him, for he had taken no part in this
discussion.

Mr. MALINS.—But sou laughed.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he bad laughed simply
because the hon. member for the King's County (Mr. Hen-
oessy) had spoken of the speech which bed not been deli-
vered by the boo. and learned member for Suffolk (Sir F.
Kelly).
Sir M. FARQUHAR thought the question was one in
which they were entitled to expect that some member of
the government worild,exprus an opinion.
Mr. FOR STER also thought there was much reason in
the complaints made b 7 hon. members on the opposition
aide of the house. This question was en appeal to the
bonsai se the ultimate judge, and how could hoe, members
give &conscientious vote upon it uses they heard what the
government thought of the case brought before them.
Sir C. WOOD said that last year when he spoke upon
the question attacks were made upon him after he sat down,
and his conduct was described IPA worthy of impealiment.
He saw that the boo. and learned member for Suffolk was
prepared to answer him if he had risen first. No conduct
of his was im in these transactions, because they all
took place ore he became Secretary for India. He did
not think it was unfair that u a minister be should have au
opportunity of enamoring the hon. and learned gentlemen.
(Hear, bear.)
Lord STANLEY did not see much use in continuing this
debate. No decision had ever been given by Lim on the
subject. A meworial had been sent to the India-office, but
he had referred it back for information. He regretted that
the noble iced at the bead of the government should have
treated the present motion as a party attack. There was
nothing whatever of a party character in the question.
The house Wan went into committee of

SPORIING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-MONDLY.

A very heavy settling on Asoot entirely occupied
the attention of m numerous an attendance as we reool•
lect to have seen within the precincts of the subscription
room for many years. Although an enormous amount of
money changed hands, and a few accounts were absolutely
cleared off, several large bookmakers complained of a hitch
or two here and there, and one in particular named it as a
special grievance that one or two were oat even repre-
sented. But it was never hinted that anything beyond
their simple non• this afternoon was ap-
prehended. Althoug however, the for of the regular
day's settling is a serious matter to throe having heavy
amounts, spread too over a large area, several attempts
were made during some quiet intervals to bet on future
event*, but in the majority of instances without effect.
The Northumberland Mate was a de►d letter, and the
mention of the St. Leger elicited only offers of 3 to 1 on the
Geld, " have which you like !" This, however, did not
seem to =it either the book or fancy of intending Wicker..
