AVISSALIAN COLON'S:6 BILL.-84 W. MOLESWORTH
in committee on this bill, to mere that both the proposed
houses of legislature in Australia be elective. To move also
various other alterations in the bill.

THE MALT TAX.
Mr. MUNTZ ',bed the hose. limber for the North
Riding of Yorkshire (Mr. Coyley) when he proposed to
bring forward his motion for the repeal of the malt tax ?
Mr. CAYLEY said it had been his intention to introduce
it on Thursday next, but he found that impossible under
present circumstances. He begged to give notice that he
would brag it forward se early se possible after Easter.
SEIZURE OF THE " ELIZABETH HASTINGS" AT
LIVERPOOL.
Lord J. MANNERS asked the right hon. gentleman, the
President a the Board of Trade, whether the facts connected
with the misers of the ship " Elia tbeth Heitiap," at
Liverpool, bad been brought under his notice, whether the
recurrence of such extrainditiary proceedings would be pre-
vented in future by legislative snatment, and whether it was
the intention of her Majesty 's government to permit foreign
built ships to be registered in this country duty free ?
Mr. LABOUCHERE said the facts of the case connected
with that most outrageous proceeding to which the noble
lord adverted, by which the "Eiizsbeth Hastings" had been
carried out of LiverpooPegeinst the will of the owner, had
been communicated by the owner to the Board of Trade.
Those who had acted in such a manner, had
done a in defiance of the law. The Board of
Trade immediately communicated with the Foreign-office on
the subject, and requested that orders should be gent out to
the consuls at Tampico and elsewhere, to render tetty emin-
ence, should the veseel proceed thither. (Hear.) It had
been supposed, quite erroneously, that in repealing certain
acts last session the house had inadvertently altered the law
with regard to the clearance of vessels under those arena-
' dances. But this was altogether unfounded. The last question
of the noble lord related to the duty which was supposed to
be chargeable on foreign 'hips brought to England for the
purpose of being pettstered, but no ditty in such a oases was
imposed. If she were brought here fur the purpose of being
broken up, a duty of 25 per cent. would attach to her, and
there would be no difficulty in raising the tax, bat, with
regard to foreign ships brought here fir registration, his
answer was that no duty attached to such ships under the
law as it now stood. (Neer, hear.)

sum paid to each.—Agreed to.

IRELAND.
In answer to Mr. RATNOLDI,
Lord J. RUSSELL said the hon. gentleman was aware
Gist it would be impossible to abolish the office of Lord
Lieutenant in Ireland without a bill in that house. Any bill
for that purpose would be given notice of, and would receive

been in contemplation for some time to introduce a mea-
sure to abolish the office of Lwd Lieutenant—(loud
arise of hear, hear "))—and that he had been in com-
munication with the Lord Lieutenant on the subject. Of
course, arrangements—many of them of difficulty and in-
teiesty—required to be made ; and he would give notice of
any measure on the subject. Al to supporting a measure
for the purpose, he she aid of course think it asemeary, if
