WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1857.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

The Committee of the 110113 C of Commons,
which- was appointed to inquire into the recent
election at Malden, have concluded their labours,
and have reported and declared that Mr. Western
was duly elected; and they declare that Mr,
Bramley-Moore is duly elected, and that the peti'
Lion against the latter gentleman was frivolous
and vexatious.

The Oxford election has ended in the return- of
Mr. Edward Cardwell, by a majority of 79 over .Mr.
Thackeray ; the gross numbers polled being—Card-
well, 1,102; Thackeray, 1,023.
The business transacted in the House of Lords,
last night, was not of the least importance. Lord
Campbell drew attention to the case of Solomons e.
Miller, now pending in the Court of Error, and
asked the Lord Chancellor when they might expect
the decision of the court. He had hoped that
the admission of Jews into Parliament would have
been assented to by the House consequent upon
the public opinion so expressed in favour of the
bill for that purpose, but as the House bad thought
fit not to pass the bill, he deprecated the proposal
which had been made in the House of Commons
for the admission of Jews into that House by a
simple resolution. This would be a coup d'etat not
eclipsed by Louis Napoleon, and he, for one, could
not sanction such a proceeding. After a few words
from Lord Brougham and the Lord Chancellor,
the subject dropped, and the House adjourned.
In the House of Commons, on the motion for
going into committee on the Banking Bill, Mr.
Headlam and Mr. Hadfield protested against a bill
of such importance being proceeded with in such
a thin house. Mr. Lowe defended the bill, the
object of which was to put an end to the winding-
up system, which had proved so disastrous in the
case of the Royal British Bank ; and hoped thatno-
opposition would be offered *o its progress, The
House having gone into committee, an amendment
to provide for the re-establishment of Joint
Stock Backs, upon the principle of limited
liability, was moved by Mr. Headlam.
A long discussion followed, Mr. Bernard, an
extensive shareholder in the London and County
Joint Stock Bank, being in favour of the amend-
ment. Mr. Archibald Hastie deprecated such a
movement. Mr. Glyn and others opposed the
amendment, and after some conversation it was
withdrawn, and the several clauses having been
agreed to, the bill was reported. Several bills
passed a third reading. In our Telegraphic
summary of last night's proceedings we find the
following singular paragraph :—" Mr. Tollemache
asked Sir James Graham whether an expression
niade use of by him, on bringing up the
report on the Mersey Conservancy Bill, was to be
understood as implying that the passing of the
second reading of the bill pledged the House to the
principle. Sir G. Grey objected to the question,
and it was not replied to." Lord John Russell
moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the
act for the removal of doubts as to the validity of
certain oaths. The noble lord contended that
although the House of Lords had refused to act in
accordance with the opinion of the ma-
jority of the House of Commons, it was
necessary for the tnaintaintainance of re-
igious liberty, and for the defence of
their privileges, that they should not be
baffled. Mr. Walpole objected to the House taking
a step which would bring that House into collision
with the House of Lords. A lengthened discussion
ensued, in which Lord Palmerston, Mr. Glad-
stone, and Mr. Whiteside took part. Ultimately
the House divided, when there appeared for the
Bill, 246—against, 15.1. Majority in favour of
the motion, 92.

Yesterday the parliamentary deputation on the
subject of the admission of Jews into the House of
Commons, waited upon Lord Palmerston, but, by
his lordship's express directions, reporters were
excluded.

The Globe of last evening enters into some ex-
planations respecting the land forces. When the
troops ordered for India have left we shall
have in England but eighteen infantry regi-
ments to do the duty for which, upon the
organisation of the peace establishment, forty were
considered the proper complement. We are about
to increase this number by four regiments ordered
home from the Mediterranean- We have drawn
tcf2Erison
-apen the colonial garrisons as far as we can do.
Twelve regiments are little enough to
Gibraltar, Malta, and the lonian Islands. "We
believe" (says the authority above quoted) " that
the Commander-En-Chief at the Cape does not feel
warranted in giving us one of the ten regiments
under his command. The six regiments in North
America cannot be considered more than an
adequate establishment. The Australian and
West India garrisons are too small to permit
of our drawing upon them. We shall, therefore,
have for the garrison duty of the United Kingdom
but twenty-two infantry battalions, or eighteen
under the proper establishment. This deficiency
will be made up by raising the regiments from
840 to 1,000 men each, and then, in all probability,
by adding some twelve second battalions of 1,000
men. We send 16,000 men to India, and raise
16,000 to replace them, but this causes no addi-
tional expense, as the first 16,000 men will in
future be paid by the East India Company.
Unless some further grave disaster occur, neither
Parliament nor the tax-payer need be appealed
to." •

Some correspondence between the Audit Board
the Treasury, the India Board, and the East India

House, presented to parliament, was issued yes- I
terday. It brings to a close the protracted cor-
respondence respecting the claims of the East
India Company upon the Imperial Government
for expences incurred by the employment of
Indian troops in the late war with China (not
the present hostilities) ; the terms of the settle-
ment being the Payment to the company of a
balance of 590,6931, and that sum accordingly
appears in the estimates to be voted for this year.
A parliamentary document, issued yesterday,
shows the gross income of the United Kingdom
in the year ended 30th June, 1857, to have
amounted to 72,067,821/. thus made up :—Customs,
23,606.4687.; exci5e,17,667,000/.; 5tamp5,7,364,6161 ;
land and assessed taxes, 3,097,020/. ; property and
income tax, 16,168,7227. ; post office, 2,845,000/. ;
crown linds(net)2B4,Bs7l. ; miscellaneous, 1,034,136/
The expenditure amounted to 71,756,7101, leaving
an excess of income in the year of 311,1111. Of
the expenditure 28,695,0201. was on account of the
permament and floating debt ; on consolidated fund
(including civil list, annuities and pensions, salaries
and allowances, diplomatic salaries and allowances,
courts of justice, and mislellaneous), 1,798,7051..;
army, 16,104,556/ ; navy, 12,370,000/.; miscel-
laneous civil services, 6,671,240/ ; salaries', &c.,
of revenue departments, 4,117.1871 ; for redemp-
tion of exchequer bonds, 2.000,000/. ; the balances
in the exchequer on 30th June, 1857, were
6,611,563/, ; on the 30th June, 1850, the balances
were only 3,922,334/.

In our columns this morning will be found, full
reports of three trials for breach of promise of
marriage—one of them of a rather strange
character—the gentleman suing the lady for
damages.
It will be remembered that in the second last
session of the late Parliament, a proposition,
understood to have originated with an illustrious
personage, was made to the House of Commons,
and supported by Ministers, and by the chie'S
of the opposition, for its sanction to transfer
the National Gallery from its present site
to Kensington. That proposition was rejected
by the House, and a commission was imme-
diately issued by the Crown to inquire and re
port. A majority of the commissioners reported
against the removal of the Gallery; yet it is
rumoured, and the Times gives currency to the
report, that as soon as Parliament shall have risen
both the report of the Royal Commission and the
decision of the House of Commons will be disre-
garded, and the National Gallery transferred to
Kensington. 'The monstrous insolence and abuse
of authority which such a proceeding would
involve, are by no means a reason why the report
should be discredited ; and the House of Commons
ought therefore to be on the alert, and take timely
guarantees.

The news from abroad this morning is interesting.
The latest despatches from Naples announce
that the prisoners from Pisacane's band will not be
tried by court-martial, but by the ordinary court
of justice of the province of Salerno. This, at
all events, makes the Neapolitan Government con-
traFet rather favourably with that of Spain, where
joist now military jurisdiction is at its butcheries,
and with many other governments who, under
such circumstances as characterised the late coup
de main in Naples, have never for a moment hesi-
tated to proclaim a state of siege, and to replace
the judge by the soldier.

The impression produced in France by Lord
Palmerston's second explanation with regard to
the Suez Canal project is very bad, indeed we
might say almost dangerous to the good under-
standing between the two nations. At the same
time the French people have become well aware
how the temper of the noble lord has recently
changed, and conclude very naturally that this
proceeds from a serious feeling of uneasiness and
distrust as to the results of his foreign policy.

We have one day's later news from the United
States, by the arrival of the City of Baltimore. The
intelligence is not of much importance. The
rioting had ceased in New York, and quiet was
required. A very destructive fire broke out at
New Orleans on the Bth iast., and the loss was very
large. Another steamer had exploded on one of
the rivers, resulting in the 1033 of four lives, and
severely wounding several others. The Ind'ans
continued troublesome in Texas. The difficulties
with Venezuela are as far from settlement as ever.
The breach between the two governments appears
to be widening. Commercial matters were quiet.

THE Mersey Conservancy Bill passed its
second reading in the House of Lords on
Monday night, in a very thin House, not more
than thirty-eight peers voting on the occasion.
From our Parliamentary proceedings in yester-
day's publication, our readers will have observed
that the Earl of DERBY battled hard for the
interests and rights of Liverpool. Lord RAVENS-
WORTH led the opposition, by moving that the
Bill should be read that day three months.
Lord WENSLEYDALE also made a capital speech
against the Bill. At length a division took
place, when fifteen voted for the rejection of the
measure, and twenty-three supported its second
reading. It will not be out of place to inquire
if that portion of their Lordships who voted for
the second reading threw any new light upon
the subject, so as to justify what the Duke of
NEWCASTLE admitted had the appearance of
spoliation. The first position put forward to
justify the measure was, that the Docks of
Liverpool, being public property, should be under
public control. This is an entirely false premises
to assume, and nothing that either the Duke of
NEWCASTLE or Lord STANLEY, of Alderlev, could
urge would prove its correctness. If, then, the
advocates of the Bill failed to prove their
position, we hold that Parliament is not justified
in interfering with the regulation and manage-
ment of private property. We still contend that
the Docks of Liverpool are, de facto, the property
of the Bondholders who have invested their
money in them, and until all these debenture
claims are satisfied, the Docks must be deemed
private property. Another argument equally
fallacious, because not founded on fact, put
forward by Lord STANLEY, was, that the Cor-
poration of Liverpool was not the proper body
to regulate the Harbour Vast of Liverpool,
inasmuch as the local interests of the Cor-,
noration prevented them from doing as
r

much good to the trade and shipping of
the country, as if the estate was under
a new and separate board. Now, this objection
implies mismanagement; and to that we chal-
lenge the shadow of a proof. If the Corporation
of Liverpool had not manifested a generous
and fostering care of the Dock Estate, it would
not now be the wonder and admiration of the
world. The rapidity of dock extension in
Liverpool, and the facilities afforded for pro-
moting the interests of shippers belies th
statements of the noble President of the Board
of Trade, and clearly demonstrated the shifts
which the supporters of the bill had to m? &e, in
order to gain the sympathy of the Pears. Well
and truly did Lard RAVaNSWORTU remark that

the object in proposing the Bill was to achieve
a conquest over Liverpool which could not have
been achieved if Liverpool had been joined with
the other ports of the kingdom in a general
bill ; " and when that conquest over Liverpool
was effected, the other ports would be dealt with
in succession in a similar manner-" In these
remarks there was a solid argument against the
measure. Indeed, some of the law Lords held
that it was most objectionable to legislate upon
what was held to be a great public matter
by means of a private enactment.

That part of the Mersey Conservancy Bill,
relating to the Town Dues was ably resisted
by Lord WENSLEYDALE. He held that "if the
Corporation of Liverpool were to be robbed of
the Town Dues, 150,000/. per annum, they would
be obliged to impose a borough rate ; the value
of property would be diminished, and private
interests would be injuriously affected." Ad-
mitting that such results will follow the transfer
of the Town Dues to the new Mersey Con-
servancy Board—and who can deny that such wil
not be the case, it follows that the passing of such
a law will be a serious violation of that principle
of our constitution which provides that no person
shall be deprived of his property without due
compensation. According to the principle put
forward in the Bill, private property is by no
means secure. And we would not be surprised
to learn that , the " Man of Manchester" has it
in contemplation to bring in a " Private" Bill to
regulate the revenues of certain noblemen's
estates which are held under deeds and gifts
from the Crown. There is no denying that the
Corporation purchased the rigllt to levy Town
Dues on all articles of commerce carried on the
waters of the Mersey. By their forethought and
wisdom they have improved that portion of their
income. To rob them of it without compensation
is nothing more nor less than a piece of legis-
lative tyranny. Besides, it should be recollected
that in their anxiety to promote the trade and
commerce of the country, they have erected a
Customs'-house and a Post-office, a Sailors' Home
and Courts of Law. Do these splendid fabrics,
which have aroused the jealousy and envy of
Manchester, show any desire to misappropriate
the Town Dues ? Are not the approaches to all
the Docks, and our mammoth Landing•stages,
an evidence of lavish but legitimate ex••
penditure of the borough funds for the pur-
pose of extending and promoting shipping
accommodation in the port ? Although
deeply regretting that the Bill has passed a
second reading in the House of Peers, we are
not without hope that it will yet be rejected. It
is to be referred to a Select Committee, and
Lord REDESDALE, who is Chairman of Com-
mittees, has given a significant intimation that
the principle of the Bill seeks to establish a
dangerous precedent.

THE JEWS. LORD PALMERSTON'S HOLLOW PRO-
FEssiolis.—At the beginning of the Session Lord Pal-
merston pledged himself to Parliamentary Reform, but
asked a year to prepare his Reform Bill. In the
mearvime, to prove the sincerity of his Liberalism, Lord
Palnaerston offered an immediate instalment—the removal
of the Jewish Disabilities. The admission of the Jews to
Parliament was made a Cabinet question. When Lord
Palmerston undertook to introduce such a me-sure, it
ceased to be "an open question." With regard to it, all
who from that moment were not with him were against
him. Yet a member of Lord Palmerston's Cabinet who
abstained from voting in the House of Lords on the
motion that the Jews' Bill be read a second time, still
remains' a member of the Cabinet. Again, there is a
noble lord who, though not ostensibly a member of the
Administration, is understood to act as Lord Palmerston's
Ministre des Cultes, to be the dispenser of his Episcopal
patronage. This noble lord, by voting for the second
reading of the bill, and at the same time intimating his
intention to move an amendment in committee which
would perpetuate the exclusion of the Jews from Parlia-
ment, contrived, with a dexterity which some Protestants
imagine is the exclusive characteristic of the disciples of
Loyola, to give his voice at once against the Jaws and in
favour of their professed champion, Lord Palmerston
Under these circamatances it is impossible to believe that
Lord Palmerston intended that his Jew Will should be
carried. He has made no exertions to get his, own mea-
sure carried, and he will allow no other person to try what
can be done, Seeing that Lord Palmerston has this year
played fast and loose with his promises as regards a
mere instalment of Parliamentary Reform, what reliance
can Reformers place 'on his promises relating to next
year's comprehensive measure of Reform —Daily News
