SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

(From the Times of this day.)

' The Bill for the Prevention of Sunday Trading in the
Metropolis is one of those measures which never-can
. give satisfaction to any party or to
.anybody. There is
, one class of persons, whose opesione, no doubt, are
entitled to the highest respect, who hold that any kind
of traffic or labour on the Sunday is an abomination and
impiety—a practice to be rejected on religious
grounds. They base their objections on one of the
Commandments, which they literally—perhaps too lite-
, rally --interpret, and their Idea, be it right or be it
wrong, is clear, logical, and intelligible. Now, all per-
sons of this class must naturally be dissatisfied with
Lord R. Grosvenor's proposition—in the first place, be-
cause it deals but faintly and partially with the evil
which offends their religious feelings ; and, in the second
place, because while it absolutely prohibits Sunday
trading within certain limits of time, it legalises the
same practice at other hours. If it be, we will not say
as offence, but a sin--not only
laws, but of the Divine co-zinand—+trade bet ►" .o ‘ee.l
a violation of hiunao
eleven o'clock an'l sunset, it is just as great a sin to
trade between sunris,i and 9, 10, or 11 o'clock on
the Suudiy morning. It cannot he permitted thee Lard
R. Grosvenor ,thould, as it were, tack ou a rider to the
Commandments, and partially I,anction a practice which
the Almighty has absolutely condemned. It nr, b
right to leave such a point to the conscience of
indivi-
duals. The imagioation of every one will reeeti;y
gest cases of trausgreseion which are in clear violation
of the flit ice law, but against which it would be
Ipolitic, useless, and absurd to fulminate human stntuts...s.
The Legislature, in other words, may avoid altogether
any expression of opinion ; but, if it does interfere at alt,
it must neither add to nor diminish the Liree of the
superior law. The Sabbatarians, consequently, not with-
out reason, are disgusted with the present, bill. On the
other hand, there is a party equally numerous which is
strongly disinclined to legislative interference in such
matters at all. Messrs. Massey, W. .1. Fox, and T.
Duncombe are representatives of this opinion. They'
hold that statutory prohibition would not only be use-
less, but absolutely calculated to defeat the end-in view.
Improvement, according to them, should be left to
the growing intelligence of the age, to the progress
of education, and to the thousand influences which have
made the England of 1855 a very different country from
the England of 1755. If the object lie to get rid of
Sunday trading, they say,- it is best to leave the matter
to the people. • They add that any person who is de-
sirous to abstain from Sunday trading may do so at pre-
sent, and that it is found in practice that his interests
are not damaged by his conscientious refusal to serve his
, customers upon that day. He gains a customer where
he loses one ; if some are offended at his closed doors,
others are ready to support-him in the coarse which he
has adopted, so that in the end he is rather the gainer
than the loser by his determination.
This, however; is but one of the arguments which
have been directed against the bill by those who refuse
to regard the question in a Levitical spirit. Why di{ect
the force of English law against the mere dealers in
butter, eggs, milk, meat, dec., while the great question
of Sunday labour is left untouched ? With what face
can the rich man, who starts back affrighted on reli-
gious grounds from the spectacle of such heinous of-
fences, justify his own snug little dinner parties on the
Sunday evening If he himself is not in the habit of
indulging in such Sabbatical symposia, still it would be
but reasonable that, when he endeavours to enforce the
observance of the Sabbath, he should begin with the
more heinous offenders. Why do the wife and daughters
of this pious nobleman take the family carriage to
church on a Sunday when such a proceeding involves a
plenary desecration of the holy day ? At any rate,
would it not be more just and more rational, if we are
determined to set out on a crusade against Sabbatfi-
breaking, to commence with the wanton rich than with
the helpless poor ? Let us launch our thunderbolts
against the fleshpots of Dives, not against Lazarus's
ha'p'orth of skimmed milk and 'half-pound of mutton
scraps. It is shown that in many respects the poor
have really no option. Their wages are not paid to
them until so late an hour upon the Saturday night that'
They are absolutely compelled to make their purchases
upon the Sunday morning, or to turn the feast day into
a day of fasting. Six days of unintermitted labour and
one day of fasting and compulsory humiliation constitute
a very trying week, and it is still more trying when such
a week must be repeated 52 times throughout every year.
This subject has been largely and carefully considered ;
and, putting for a moment out of the question any such
idea as that the Legislature may now be beginning at
the wrong end, it is certainly very striking that Sir R.
Mayne, the head of the London police, when examined
before the committee of the House of Lords, gave it as
his opinion that any such interference as fleet now con.
templated would be worse than useless. Mr. Massey on
Wednesday quoted Sir R. Mayne's evidence to this
effect :—" He stated that the reports of his force showed
that Sunday trading was decreasing, and that there was
now au improved observance of the Sabbath in London ;
and, while admitting that the act of Charles 11. was in-
operative to prevent Sunday trading, Sir R. Mayne also
said that he should look with apprehension on any at-
tempt to effect by law that object, compulsory measures
being, in his opinion, likely to aggravate the very evil they
were intended to remedy." This is certainly a very
strong opinion, and one entitled to much respect, con-
sidering that the speaker holds the position of Me ro-
politan Commissioner of Police.

After all, is such a bill needed ? Does any serious
amount of Sunday trading—save for the purpose of sup-
plying the wants of the richer classes—exist in London'
after church hour on the Sunday morning We more
than doubt it. Desecration a the Sabbath certainly
does exist, and to a lamentable extent ; but it is very
little °inflected with the purchases of the poor, nor hill
it be affected in any large measure by the provisions of
the present bill. It is much to be feared that the poor
Londoner is about to be treated as a sin-offering fur the
offences of the people. The rich, whose larders and
whose cellars are well filled, can, of course, afford to
turn up their eyes in pious horror at the enormities of
the poor man's baked shoulder of mutton, with its
savoury Sunday potatoes, and his pint of beer, but they
would do well to set the eXairiple bf mortification, and,
even if they set it, they have scarcely a right to expect
that the poor will follow their lead. Why not leave
them their day of rest to be enjoyed in their own fashion?
Why not, at any rate, rather attract them to more ascetic
practice by persuasion and example than fetter them with
binding statutes ? If the present measure passes into
law it will most certainly be evaded by all who have an
inclination to break it—by others it is already observed,
if we may so speak of a measure yet under discussion.
We have already cut down the poor man's Sunday at
one end by our Public-house Bill, and now we are at-
tacking it from the other quarter. There will surely be
a revulsion of feeling against all this.

(Pont the Morning Post of this day.)
In the present condition of European affairs, the pro-
ceedings of Austria become a subject of anxious conside-
ration. Her geographical position, her sympathies with
Russia, her interests with England, and her political rela-
tions with Germany, make it impossible for her to be abso-
lutely neutral with respect to the great contest between
East and West. The close of the Vienna Conferences has
dispelled the last gleam of hope that the most sanguine
could extract from the treaty of last December. It has
some to nothing. It never was much. It is now waste
paper. What good there ever was in it is exhausted, and
Austria is, with reference to the Western Powers, pre-
cisely where she was before the treaty was signed, i.e.,
she is now where Prussia has been all along—a looker-
on, interested, indeed, in the struggle, but taking no part
in it—anxious to have a voice in its adjustment, but not
prepared to make any sacrifice on its behalf, and altoge-
ther unwilling to unite her arms to those of the Western
Powers. Germany daily grows mnre Russian, and Aus-
tria more German. Certainly her active sympaties are
not with the Allied Powers, though her professions
would, perhaps, lead some persons to believe the contrary.
That she is anxious for the restoration of peace there can
be no doubt. She has great reason to be so. But a peace
founded on the true and permanent attainment of
the object of the war does not enter into her cal-
culatiors. Geographically and commercially she has
_Teatinterest in the independence and safety of
Turkey, but she is not disco-ed to fight with Russia
to secure it. Her present plan is to stand by—look
on—influence the turn of events if she can, but, if not,
then to profit by that turn as she best may—a natural
policy, perhaps, but not very dignified—not very spirited,
and not very safe.
In adopting this course Austria has undoubtedly made
a huge mistake. She may not discover it at first, but
whoever will sit down with the map of Europe and the
history of Austria before him, and will calculate the
probable issue of the apparently safe, but really delusive,
line to which she has betaken herself, will see, on the
one hand, how splendid an opportunity the present is
to consolidate the interests of that much divided and
heterogeneous empire ; and, on the other, how the aban-
donment of that opportunity must render her more than
ever at the mercy of circumstances, should any further
complication of European politics extend the dimensions
of the war.
Circumstances are greatly changed since the Russian
Envoys rejected the Third Point in the Vienna Confer-
ence. At that period the Allied arms had given no sign
that their spring campaign would materially affect the
position of Russia in the Crimea. But the march of
recent successes tells a different tale. They speak of a
well-defined and comprehensive scheme in process of gra-
dual evolution, and calculated to touch the very heart of
Russia. The conceptions of the Allied rulers have
r;sen to the height of the occasion. And now it is
not the destruction of Sebastopol merely that is in
prospect, but the crippling, for many years to come,
of the strength of Russia along the whole course of
her southern territory. This, whether she will or no,
will be de facto a limitation of her preponderance in the
Black Sea for many years, so that, in effect, what is not
granted by concession will be extorted by force, and
what is not agreed to will have to be endured.
Yet upon these proceedings Austria can look unmoved,
neither praising nor blaming, neither taking one side
nor the other. Such conduct will be, in the long run,
most costly. Austria cannot very well afford to go to
war,
but she can still less afford a peace based uponin-
difference
to her dignity. The elements of Austrian
strength are of very diverse kinds, while the elements of
her weakness aro singularly uniform, extensive, and cohe-
sive. In the nature of things that empire cannot long re-
main without internal difficulties, while those which may
at any moment arise outside her frontier, from the uncer-
tain tenure of neighbouring crowns and thrones, are pa-
tent to every one versed in foreign politics, and are not
unseen by Austria herself. When the day of her ine-
vitable trial comes, and the scattered elements of
strength have to do battle against the compacted ele-

gives adhesion is no fit object for the sympathies of En,
land and and France, and has no claim upon the chivalry ,tif
Europe.
Were Austria to tike up a definite, course—whatever
it might be—her claim to consideration would still com-
mand respect. Were she to say with John Bright that
England is all wrong and Russia is all right, and, there-
fore, we ought to have peace at any price ; or, with
Mr. Disraeli, that Russia is all wrong, 'and,
therefore, we ought to have peace at no price ;
or, with the English Government, that we
will have peace only at the proper pricer; and, taking
this course, would throw the- whole force of her arms
into the contest, we could admire her public spirit, even
did we differ from her csecinsionS. It would, any how,
have the merit of boldness and honesty. But such a line
as she is at present taking—a neutral line, or rather no
line at all— after all her professions,her examination into

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

A letter from Balaklava, dated June 2, gives the fol-
lowing movements among the ships there :—" In har-
bour—the Leander, 50 ; Diamond, 28 ; Wasp, 14 ;and
Triton, 3. I regret to say that cholera has made its ap-
pearance in this port, and among its last victims is Mr.
Boxer, Secretary's Clerk, and nephew of Admiral Boxer.
He died after but a very few hours' illness. Since the
outbreak of the epidemic a provision has been made by
the naval authorities for rendering medical assistance to
the sick of the'numerous transports here, by the appoint-
ment for that duty of Surgeon Nolloth, R.N., of her
Majesty's ship Leander; Surgeon Walling, of her Ma-
jesty's ship Wasp ; and Additional Surgeon Costello, of
her Majesty's ship Royal Albert. Mr. Hamilton, Sur-
geon of the Naval Brigade, has left for England
in the screw steamer Propeller. The hospital huts
for the reception of the sick and wounded of the
Naval Brigade are completed, and in medical
charge of Surgeon Smart and Assistant-Surgeon Pearce,
of the Diamond. Among the severest sufferers by the
epidemic are the newly arrived men, as the Sardi-
nian Contingent, the Land Transport Corps, and re-
cruits. M. Soyer is here endeavouring to organise
kitchens and to teach the soldier how to cook to the best
advantage. Culinary receipts are being printed for him
at head-quarters for distributh la among the troops."
The Britannia, 120, converted into a hospital ship for
military invalid, is so far completed that she was removed
from d(nk at Portsmouth yesterday to the old l win, where
she will conclude hsr outfit. The Empre,s Eugenie sai!-
ing-trausport was towed into Portsmouth harbour ye, -
terlay afternoon with the depot of the 3d Buffs cm
board, whon she conveyed from Cork, to be landed at
Portsmouth, whence they proceeded to Chichester to pre-
pare for leaving to join their regiment in the Crimea.
This depot is under the command of Major C. W. Green,
and numbers about 300 non-commissioned officers and
men. The Myrmidon, 4, iron steam vessel, was com-
missioned at Portsmouth on Wednesday evening by
Lieut. Maun-ell, of the Neptune, for service on the %Vest
Coast of Africa station.

Rear-Admiral of the Blue 0 harlea Howe Fremantle is
appointed to succeed the late Rear-Admiral Boxer as
Superintendent of the Transport Service at Balaklava,,
and will proceed out in the Promethus steam-sloop. He
retains Mr. Jeans as Secretary, and will have a Flag-
Lieutenant, bet no Flag-Captain. Rear-Admiral Fre-
mantle has just completed his 55th year. He entered
the navy in 1812, and his last command was the Incon-
stant frigate.
At the monthly examination of officers to qualify for
promotion and of candidates for entry into the service,
which terminated at the Royal Naval College yesterday,
the following were declared passed, and received certifi-
cates : —Mates, R.N., for Lieutenants—Messrs. T.
Hooper, G. Tryon, E. J. Pollard, W. F. F. Mudge, F.

establishment of Mr. T. Eastman, R.N.), A. H.
Long, A. K. Wilson, and A. Cavendish. For Masters'
Assistants—Messrs. S. J. Gissing, F. J. Gray, and C.
13. VVade. For Clerk's Assistant—J. W. Silverlock.
TIM large new straw steamer Oneida sailed from
Liverpool yesterday with the following officers on boardt
—Major Heyman, Captain Forrest, Paymaster F. T.
Larden, of the Turkish Irregular Cavalry ; Lieutenant-
Colonel the Hon. H. Handcock, 97th Regiment, and
lady ; Lieutenant-Colonel Straton, 77th Regiment
Lieutenants M'Donald, Mackesey, Durant, Allen,
M'Nair, Crawford, Cleather, and M'Murdo, and Ensigns
Campbell, Alleyne, and Hawkins, all of the 79th Regi-
ment ; Lieutenant Brine, Royal Engineers ; Dr. Leslie
and Lieutenant Croker, 77th ; and Messrs. Scott Mor-
ton (and wife) and Ford, veterinary surgeons ; one
woman and five men servants, otke private, and nine
horses. The Oneida will call at Kiegstown for troops
I.nd stores, and will thence steam direct to Constanti-
nople.

The screw•steamer Sarah Sands was to leave Liverpool
last evening with officers and men on board. At Queens-
t.) wn she will take on board about 6i tons of camp
equipage. _

me Lew troop-ship Assistance is under orders to sail
from Liverpool with officers, men, and stores, and she
will probably be ready- for sea on the 18th inst. Corn-
misgaria,t-General Midwood will proceed on board the
Assistance to Balaklava.

The ChilderF, 12, Commander Hickley, is to leave
Plymouth to-morrow for the West Coast of Africa. The
crew of the Calliope, 26, Captain Fitzgerald, will be paid
wages to-morrow, and have three weeks' leave of absence.
The gunboats ordered at Devonport are being fitted
with all despatch. They consist of 10 barges, 10 launches,
and 10 pinnaces; some will have two 241 b. howitzers—
one at each end.

The second division of the 69th Regiment; numbering
5 officers and 153 men, arrived in Dublin from Glasgow,
on Wednesday.
Major-General Gough will assume the command of the
Belfast district on the 2d of July. No successor to Ge-
neral Fleming, C. 8., in the Limerick district, is yet an-
nounced.

The hou,e haviug gone into committee en this bill,
Lord ELOHO rose to ask the noble lord at the head
of the Government a question with reference to the
working of the measure. The question he wished to ask
was how, in the event of the bill passing, it was the in-
tention of the Government to administer the. Privy
Council grants for education among the various sects in
Scotl and ?
Lord PALMERSTON said this bill, if passed,
would, be apprehended, make provision for those schools
by rates. Of course the object of the Government was
to diffuse education, and there was not the slightest
wish to withhold assistance from those schools, and the
Government would bs disposed to give the most favour-
able consideration to the claims of such schools, whether
in towns or in the country, which were not in such a
flourishing condition as would enable them to do as niuch
good as they wished for their own schools. (Hear.)
Mr. HADFIELD then moved as an amendment that
the words in the preamble, 16th line, page 1, after the
" Holy Scriptures," and the words in the 17th,

preceding the words " And whereas," be left out, and
that the following words be substituted, viz., " ought
not to be conducted at the expense of any of her
Majesty's subjects who conscientiously object to the
principles taught, or to compulsory taxation for the
teaching religion, or to the reading of the Scriptures, in
any public school."
Mr. L. HEY WOOD seconded the amendment.
Mr. BALL opposed the amendment, believing that, if
it was carried, it would act most detrimentally on the
education of the c0ue44.7.
The LORD ADVOCATE did not concur with those
who thought that taxes should be levied for the purpose
of religious education.
Mr. A. PELLATT supported the amendment, con-
sidering that the parties for whose benefit the bill was
introduced ought not to be allowed to tax the whole
community.
Mr. F. SCOTT opposed the amendment, because it
was in his opinion inoperative and ineffective, and he
hoped the hon. member would withdraw it.
After a few words from Mr. A. HASTIE,
Mr. MACGUIRE said that the Roman Catholics of
Ireland were as much in favour of education as any class
of her Majesty's subjects, but they objected to being
taxed for the advantages of other religions.
Mr. DE VERE stated that after the intimation that
had been given by the noble lord at the head of the Go-
vernment, he should withdraw his opposition to the
clause.
Mr. HADFIELD having replied, the house divided
upon his amendment, when there appeared—

The amendment was consequently lost.
Mr. C. BRUCE moved to introduce words for the
purpose of declaring that the Christian religion should
be taught in the schools.

of the hon. member totally unnecessary, as the bill, as it

VICTORIA GOVERNMENT BILL.
Lord J. RUSSELL, in moving the second reading of
this bill, said he would merely trouble the house with a
few words as to the form in which the measure had been
introduced. It was evident that when, in 1850, bills
arrived in this country from the d,fferent Australian co-
lonies, proposing new forms of constitution, that there
I would be .great inconvenience in sending back those bills
to the colonies, giving them the labour of again going
through their provisions, and subjecting them to-renewed
discussions. That wa,, the view taken by ber Majesty's
Government at the end of the last session, when there
bills were contemplated, and if the course to which be
had alluded was objectionable than it was much
more so at the present time, after the lapse of so
many months. It had been said that another course
!night have been taken, and that was to enact de noro
all the provisions which were thought necessary to va-
rious constitutions. But in the first place, that would
oave been at variance with the promise held out by
Parliament in 1850, that the colonies should be allowed
to deliberate by their own Legislative Governments
onAthe provisions proper for their own constitntione ;
and in the second place, it would have bee difficult to
say what precise clauses should have been introduced into
these bills, It was impossible to argue that it was neces-
sary to have an elective council in Victoria, and a coun-
cil nominated by the Crown in New South Wales—that
28,0001. should be granted toe ards public worship in
New South Wales, and 50,0001. in Victoria. When the
council had settled these matters fer themselves, it would
be sufficient authority for the Government to give their
sanction. They had taken a third course, which was the practicable course, namely, that of adopting' the bills
as they had been sent from Victcria and New South Wales, c
omitting those parts to which it was impossible for her
Majesty to assent. Those clauses which tended to dimi-
nish the authority of the Crown, and certain powers granted
by act of Parliament, bad been struck out of the bibs. With
regard to the objection taken on a former night, that even
if the Queen gave her assent those acts might be null,
he considered that the last clauses of the bill were suffi-
cient for the purposes intended—that the acts should
take effect in the colonies from the time of the Royal
assent being given. (Hear, hear.)
The question having been put,
Mr. J. BELL said he believed the bill to be opposed
to the wishes of a large number, if not a majority, of
the colonists, and he therefore moved that it be read a
second time that day six months. The bill in its pre-
rent shape had not passed the legislative council. Her
Majesty's Government had thought proper to make cer-
tain omissions, which showed that they believed they
had the power to alter it. The necessary alterations
might have been made by the substitution of other clauses,
and in that case he should have offered no opposition to
the measure. A memorial against the bill had been
signed by 13,000 of the inhabitants of the colony, and
he thought it entitled to some consideration and respect.
A grant of 6,0001. for public worship had received the
assent of the colony, but the expiring council had
made an addition of 44,0001. against the wishes
of the colonists. The country had seen sufficient
of the evils of religious endowments, and he
thought Parliament would do extremely wrong to sanc-
tion the introduction of such evils into the colonies. If
such a measure had been passed by a legislature properly
elected, and sent over for the assent of the Crown, it
would not have been objected to ; but it assumed a dif-
ferent aspect when Parliament was called upon to sane-
tion it. The colonies ought to be left to legislate for
themselves, particularly on the question of religious en-
dowments. (Hear.) Religions strife had already com-
menced in consequence of the course which had been
Pursued, and the Jews, numbering about 4,000, had peti-
tioned for a portion of the grant. If the colonists chose
to bait, a bench of bishops and rabbis let them follow
their own inclination, but he trusted Parliament would
not take upon itself the responsibility of introducing an
element of discord into the new constitution. (Hear.)
Mr. MIALL seconded the amendment, believing that
the measure would be productive of much heartburning
and strife. Disapproving as he did of the endowment of
any religions body in the colony, he should have respected
the decision of those to whom the power of self-govern-
ment had been granted; but it should be recollected
that one-third of the legislature which bad sent over the
bill were nominees of the Crown. The legislative coun-
cil had not paid the slightest attention to the wish of
the 13,000 persons whose memorial had been alluded to,
but had raised the grant for religious worship from
6,0001. to 50,004 t. for all future time. He should not
have objected so strongly to the course which had been
punted, if the Legislature had the power to alter or re-
peal the provisions of the act ; but to make such alter-
ation an absolute majority of both houses of the Legisla-
ture was required on the second and third readings of
any bill which might be introduced for that purpose.
The noble lord had stated that he respected the opinions
of the colonists, but he had omitted seven clauses of the
utmost importance, which entered into the very nature
of the constitution, without making the slightest altera-
tion in accordance with the wishes and feelings of the
colonists. If he bad felt at liberty to make alterations
in the bill, surely he ought hot to have overlooked the
wishes of the people. (Hear.)
Mr. LOWE said a very good rule had been laid down,
that we ought to abstain from legislating for the colonies
on any matter on which they were competent to legis-
late for themselves. That was a very wise rule, and the
converse was equally true. Whilst the Imperial Go-
vernment ought to refrain from legislating on subjects
within the jurisdiction of the colonial assemblies, they
ought to refrain from legislating on subjects within the
pnu
jurisdiction of the Imperial Government. This
mbill r roef-
ared Parliament to legislate upon a
vast subjects under the cognisance of the colonial legislature,
and permitted the colonial legislature to lay down laws
on subjects of imperial consequence.
(Hear, hear.) A

',":4e4: 4.1

Sir J. PA.KINGTON said he had heard nothing to
tnduce him to vote against the second reading of the
bill. He looked on these two bills as the compl,rnent
of an arrangement entered into in 1852 by the Govern-
ment of Lord Derby, for the purpose of meeting the ex•
press wishes of the colonists on subjects in which they
took a deep interest ; and he could not help thinking.
that should they be rejected, except on very strong and
sufficient grounds, something like great dissatisfaction
would be felt by the colonists. He believed that g n-
tlemen connected with the colonies of Australia, now in
London, were decidedly favourable to the pazsint, of
these bills. The noble lord the Secretary for the'Co-
lonies had had a deputation of those gentlemen ; and he
Sir J. Pakington had also had the honour of receiving
a deputation. But a gentleman connected with the co-
lony of Victoria had waited on him some time ago and
pointed out the objections which he entertained to this
bill. From all that he could gather from that gentleman,
his objections were only three. The first objection was
to the terms and form in which the bill was drawn ; the
second turned on the high qualification of the two c mn-
oils ; and the third related to the high civil list reserved
in this bill for the colony of Victoria. With respect to
the qualifications for the members of the council and the
assembly and to the civil list, these were exclusively co-
l- nial questions, which should not be altered or deviated
from, but assented to as proposed by the colony. The
only serious objection, then, which he (Sir J. Paking-
ton) could entertain to these bills was the form in which
they bad been drawn. He could not say that the civil
list for Victoria was not very light, and, possibly, even
extravagant. Hon. members referred to 50,0001. for
public works, but that was the last part of the civil list
that should be objected to. He (Sir J. Pakington)
was glad to see that that part of the civil last had
been passed by a large majority in the colony. The hon.
member for Kidderminster stated that ithe civil list
amounted to 112,0001., whereas in the year 1849.50 the
whole revenue of the colony was only 113,0001. This was
not so much a proof of an extravagant civil list as it was
an illustration of the extraordinary progress made by the
colony in that time. In 1834, the present Lord Aberdeen,
as Secretary of State for the Colonies, was applied to be
some bold adventurers, and asked if they might found a
colony at Port Philip, and his answer was that it was not
the policy of England to extend her colonies, and he re-
fused his assent. In the following year Lord Glenelg wss
applied to by these adventurers, and he likewise refused.
(No, he assented.) Well, at last the request was granted,
and happily these bold adventurers were allowed to esta-
blish the colony, and now, after twenty years, the house
was discussing the question whether or not they should
have a civil list of 112,0001. per annum. That was a
proof of the extraordinary development of this colony.
(Hear, hear.) Should the house take on itself to
decide the civil list, it would adopt a very irritating and
unwise course. He understood the hon. membr for
Kidderminster to say that in re-enacting these acts passed
by the colonial legislature, Parliament should not allow
this civil list ; but the course taken by the Government
was wiser—not to interfere with the act, except as to
that part of it which interfered with the prerogative of
the Crown. The main objects of these bills were two,
to give to the colonies the management of their own waste
lands, and to confer on them an improved constitution,
consisting of two chambers instead of one. The hon.
member for Kidderminster had himself recorded his vote
in favour of two chambers, and he had moved for a com-
mittee of inquiry into the management of waste lards in
the colony. There was a declaration and a remonstrance
adopted by the legislature of New South Wales in :851,
the prayer of which Lord Grey refused, and the new
legislature

considered it their duty to give their attention to
these representations, and they also felt it their duty
to assent to the prayer of the legislature of New South
Wales. They conceded the double chamber in the furm
in which it was asked. The hon. member for Kidder-
minster had on a former occasion said that he (Sir J.
Pakington) had then given his consent to the proposi-
tion respecting the waste lands as a bribe to induce the
colonists to accept a nominated chamber, but he could
assure the hon. member he had had no such motive. He
did not deny that his opinion was in favour of a nomi-
nated iu preference to an elective upper chamber, and he
thought that if men of property, ability, and station were
content ar4d willing to accept seats for life in the upper
chambert, they would form Si council as nearly as pos.

Mr. LOWE,on rising to move as an amendment that
the bill should ie read a second time that day six months,
said that almosi all the objectiors taken by him to the
bill just dispoEid of applied with equal force to the mea-
sure before thehouse ; but as the house had not thought
them of sufficieit weight to arrest the progress of the
former bill hewould not repeat them, and would pro-
ceed at once testate the reasons why lie thought the
house should rot proceed further with this measure.
The nosition tltt he should endeavour to establish was
that the legislaive council by whom the bill was passed
did not represelt the colonists in a practical sense--that
the bill was not passed for the interests of the colonists,
but for certain other interests—that the constitution
sent home for fiat house to enact was not the primary
object of the bil —and that it was secondary to another
and ulterior ohect, namely, to obtain for a certain por-
tion of the colorists of New South Wales the absolute
possession andownership of immense tracts of land. He
begged to call attention to circumstances that had taken
place with re--sect to the occupancy of crown lands sub-
sequent to theyear 1844, and to the demand for leases
which had ben made by persons possessed of large graz-
ing establishnents. He informed the house that a cry
was raised in ;heir behalf, and by the feeling which was
evoked under the impression that the Government were
ill-treating tlem they succeeded in taking from their
fellow-colonists the greater part of the waste lands of the
colony. In :847 an azt was passed giving those gentle-
men certain rights for life in those lands, and the right
also to purchase the land of which they obtained leases ;
but the ownerships thus created were of a very ambigu-
ous character, and the question as to whether the lease
should be turned into an absolute ownership of the soil,
or degenerate into a tenantcy at will, entirely depended,
upon the assistance they could give to the Home Govern-
ment. In 1850, the noble lord the member for London
brought in a bill to give the Australian colonists a con-
stitutian, and he (Mr. Lowe), having then arrived in Eng-
land, suggested that those individuals should be repre-
sented in the colonial legislature. The act did not give
the power of making the new council to the then exit-
ing legislature, but it empowered the then legislative
council to pass a new electoral act for the new council.
To that circumstance he traced the evils with which they
would have to deal on that night. He (Mr. Lowe) was,
as he had already said, the person who recommended
that those squatters should have representatives ; but he
thought, at the same time, that if they got three mem-
bers out of 36 representatives, they would be adequately
represented ; whereas the legislative council gave them
eight members. The rest of the representation was con-
ceived in the same spirit, and such an enormous pre-
ponderance was given to the pastoral districts that it
was quite clear they were completely paramount in the
legislature. (Hear.) The legislature which had created
the council agreed to ,what was called a petition and
remonstrance, which was sent to the Home Government,
and in it they said that, in order that her Majesty's
Government might have no excuse for a continuation
of abuses they were prepared to surrender the whole of
the revenue, territorial and general, on the establish-
Ment of a council similar to that of Canada. The word
" Canada" in that document was made the groundwork
for fixing upon them this constitution, but several of the
gentlemen who voted for the proposition were in favour
of an electoral upper chamber. He would now come to
the election of the constituent body whose constitution
they were discussing that night. The old council having
ceased to exist, the new one came to be elected, and it
was to be expected that care and attention would be ob-
served in the proceedings ; but there was nothing of the
kind. He could state on the authority of a gentleman
who had mentioned the fact to him, that the question of
an elected or nominated upper house was never men-
tioned by the candidates except one. Those who ap-
peared as candidates knew so little of the duties they
had undertaken, and the people knew so little about
the matter, in consequence of the recent change, that
no appeal was made respecting the form of govern-
ment the council was to establish. The council,
having been elected, appointed a committee ie the year
1853 to consider this question of a constitution, and on
the 28th of July they presented a report, which was laid
before the house in a blue book. The act of establishing
a constitution passed in face of numerous petitions against
it, agreed to at public meetings. All the elections, with
but a single exception or so,
were in favour of the elec-
tive council. Sir William Denison 's answer to the ad-
dress presented by the colonists for a dissolution of the
council shortly after his arrival, clearly showed that
regarded the public opinion of
the colony as beinget:ye
