I slaughter of all infected salamis.
Mr. B. COCHRANE wished to know whether, if on a
large farm the dismiss should make its appearance, the
inspector would have the power of ordering any number of
sheep to he slaughtered.
Sir G. GREY said the hon. gentleman aught to have put

ART-UNION LAWS.
On the motion of Lord IL MONTAGII, • select cam-
seltise wee appointed to inquire into the opecation of the
Art-Union laws.
PUBLIC MONEY.
Mr. AYETON moved that the standing orderly of the
26th of June, 1852, relating to applications for public
n=dand to public aids or sharps upon the people, be
z
, in ordeer to substitute the following :—•• That thin
home will receive no petition for any sum relating to
service, or premed upon any motion for a grant or
upon the public means, whether payable out of the con-
solidated fund or out of moseys to be provided by rata-
. IsMits =kid revationatled 1,7 DA =own; pied say
main be made in the house foe any aid, grant, or chine
upon the public revenue, whether payable out of the cease-
B&W fund or cat of moneys to be provided by parliament,
or for any charge upon the people, the cassideration sad
debate thereof shall not be presently entered upon, but
shall be adjourned till such further day as the hones shell
think At to appoint, and then it shall be referred
to a committee of the whole house before any
resolution or vote of the hours do pus therein.*
He had slims nodershiod that it was ore of the funda-
mental principles of the constitution of the House of Ocien-
inons that it should never itself take the initiative in
granting or voting any public money, orbs levying any
taxes upon the people, but that the entire initiative in
those respects rested with the crown alone ; and that it wee
rather the duty of that house to sit in judgment upon the
requisitions of the crown, sad if possible to diminish,
but on no occasion to attempt to increase, the taxation of
the people. The course of prooeedieg is centuries past
had been such as to render itimpoesible for any member of
the loin of 061111110011 to have depicted from that wash-
tutional principle, because in those times the house was
accustomed to take into consideration the messages of the
crown clearing aid far public purpose!, and no oppor-
tunity was given to any member to intervene with any
plan of his own by which any new tax would be imposed
or any addition made to the charges upon the peo-
ple. Bat in the begiseing of the last century cur
entirely new principle was introduced, which oonstituted
the Exchequer a trustee between the crown on the one
hand and the House of Compose and the public on the
other. From that new arrangement was adopted the plan
of separating the levying of taxes from their appropriation
by the votes of that house. But the result we that there
was always a balance of public money in the Exchequer,
which members began to regard as very much at their own
disposal; for soon after the change wee made the list
standing order was leased by the house which must have
been rendered neeersary by the growing disposition to set
up claims of one kind or another upon the balances in the
Exchequer.
The OHANCZLLOIR of the EICRNQUIR and Mr. Walsou
expressed their concurrence in the motion, and observed
that Mr. Ayrtoo ww estitled to the thanks of the house
for having broaeht the subject under its notion.
Mr. HENLEY regarded the proposition as a laudable en-
deavour to check abase in the public' expenditure, but he
doubted whether it would be completely successful for the
object.
Obeervations were also made by Sir W. ilnarricari and
Mr. Boucot= in approval of the motion, which was agreed
to without a dissentieot voice, and the resolutions were
made standing order, of the house.
THE OOLONY OF VICTORIA. _ .

_
Lord R. MONTAGU called attention to the dispute
between the two Houses of Legislature in the colony of
Victoria concerning the Appropriation Bill of 1865, and
moved for additional papers thereon. The noble lord
went at oocedetable length into the cireitinstanose of the
quorrsl, and deduoed from them an argument against the
lowering of the franchise and the admission of the demo-
cratic element into the constitneecies.
Mr. MARSH seconded the motion.
After some remarks from Mr. Arroox,
Mr. CARDWELL promised the papers, end earnestly
hoped that the house would not erect itself into a court of
appeal from colonial legislative and government policy, but
that all matters of that kind should be left to the colonists
themsetves. The removal of the Governor of Victoria was
not decided on because of any conduct of his in the difficult
position in which he was placed, but because of his having
determined to ostracise certain persons in regard to their
secession to office who had memorialised the crown in re-
gard to glievaimes which they thought they. suffered.
Mr. ADDERLEY said that however desirable it might
be for the house to know what was the political condition
of the colonies, there was clearly no CYO for its inter-
kneee with those dependencies. He argued that the
application of the extrema principles of democracy in our
eoleuies to institution, founded exactly on our own, was
calculated to produce confusion, sod suggested the eopme-
Hon of the executive and the legislative Momenta.
The motion was withdrawn.
COMMONS (METROPOLIS).
Mr. COWPEII moved for leave to bring in a bill to make
provision for the improvement of commons in the neigh.
bairhood of the metropolis, and the protection thereof
from nuisance, slating that there were 180 of them, oon-
taiMng upwards of 10,000 scree, which were open to the
public without their being trespassers. The objects of the
bill were to enable money to be locdly raised for the drsio-
age and improvement of the corunio,s, and to grant a com-
mission, the members of which, amongst others, the Chief
Commissioner of Works, the Chairman of tee Board of
Works, and loolosure Commissioners, would serve gratuit-
ously, aid which would hays the control and direction of
these commons.
A dissuasion maned, in which Mr. It. Powell, who, gee,-
rally approving the bill, wishe I its area extended ; Mr.
Doane°, who ;Awned the measure would not meet the re-
quirements of the one, and would leers the commove jest
where they were ; Mr. Locke, who stated that the bin em-
bodied the recommendations of the committee which in-
quired into the subject, and ought to be tried ; Mr. Sand-
ford, who oontended that the bill would be simply nugatory
and inefficacious ; Mr. Shaw Lefevre, who supported the
1 bill generally, took part ; and, after a statement of the
righted the Sovereign in the royal forests by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer,
Leave was given.
TRANSUBSTANTIATION,
- -

Sir O. 01.00 ELLEN moved for leave to brie( in • bill

the invocatioo of saints, and the saorifioe of the mass, as
practised in the church of Roma ; to render it noseoessary
to subscribe the same as a qu.litc•tioe to any civil ofilre.
Mr. KER opposed the bill, cod in a short discnssiow
which maned it was elicited from
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER that Res
government would probably deal with the question of tests
in • comprehensive measure.
Leave was given.
Colossi NORTH obtained a select committee to inquire
into the mortality in China, the causes which led to it, sad
into the conduct of than departmeate of t►e rvernmeet
whose duty it has been to administer to the wants of those
troops.
