VALIDITI OF PROCEEDINGS (HOUSE OF
COMMONS) BILL.
This bill was read a second time and ordered to be
read a third time this evening.
METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill, commenc-
ing with clause 69 postponed from yesterday morning's
sitting.
Clauses up to 75 were agreed to.
On clause 76,
Sir B. HALL introduced an amendment to the effect
that the owners or builders of new streets should in the
first instance be obliged to put those streets into a pro-
per state of repair and pavement., and subsequently
that should be done by the local authorities.
After some remarks by Mr. HENLEY and Sir H.
WILLOUGHBY,
The clause as amended was agreed to.
Clauses 78 and 79 were also agreed to after some
amendments. The effect of the latter clause is to pre-
vent gas companies from selecting particular streets in
a parish to light, but compels them to light the whole
of a district or none.
Clause 80 was expunged.
C!auses 81 to 86 were agreed to after amendments.
Clauses 87 and 88 were expunged.
Clauses 89 to 97 were agreed to.

which Mr. Henley,
Lord R. Grosvenor, Lord Ehrington, Sir 13. Hall, Sir
H. Willoughby, and Mr. Williams took part, arose as
to the limitation of powers of parochial authorities, but
it was eventually agreed to as amended.
Clauses 113, 114, and 115 were agreed to without any
discussion,

Clause 117 was adopted without disc ussion.
On clause 118 being put, which gavellroteetion to the
water companies of the metropolis, some discusaion took
place, and several amendments were proposed.
Mr. Alderman CHALLIS objected to the clatise, con-
sidering that the water companies of the metropolis were
sufficiently secure, and required no protection. If the
clause was persevered in as proposed to be saner' ded, he
should certainly give it his decided opposition.
After some further discussion the amendments were
withdrawn, and the clause as originally proposed was
ordered to stand part of the bill.
Clauses up to 123 were agreed to without material
amendments.
On clause 124 being put,

Sir H. WILLOITaIIIVir said that it was objection-
able, inasmuch as it would call upon all parishes to pay
their rates in a lumping sum.

Mr. WILLIAMS was afraid that the clause would
greatly interfere with the rights of electors.
Sir B. HALL said that he had been advised that the
clause would not interfere with the rights of electors,
inasmuch as the public officers of any parish might, if
they chose, make these rates payable at a time that
would not interfere with the rights of electors.
Mr. HENLEY deprecated any rate being made on
one sum. They might be very well for persons of capi-
tal, but with respect to the poor man it was a very dif-
ferent question.
Sir B. HALL consented to the amendment if the
clause, so as to prevent the evil complained of.
The clause was then agreed to.

The house then resumed.
The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit again on Thursday, at 12 o'clock.
The house adjourned shortly before four to six o'clock.

OYSTER FISHERIES.
On the motion of Sir G. B. PEcRELL, copies of the
several letters from the Board of Trade of the 28th day
of April, 1847, to the Commissioners of Customs,
and of the 31st day of July, 1849, to Messrs. Royston,
Alston, and Gibbs, on the subject of the oyster fishery
in the seas on the east coasts of England ; and a return
of all British and French fishing vessels that have
been seized under the provisions of the act for carry-
ing into effect the convention with France concerning
the fisheries, since the Ist day of January, 1852; with
the date of such seizure, were ordered to be laid upon
the table.

Capt. L. VERNON, adverting to the intention of
placing the Ordnance Military Corps under the Com-
mander-in-chief, to the pressing necessity for keeping up
the effective strength of the corps of Royal Engineers,
and to the present half-pay list of that corps, asked the
Under Secretary for War whether it was the intention to
make any arrangements whereby officers of the corps of
Royal Engineers on half-pay, who are able and willing
to serve, but who, from its being a seniority corps, are
barred from returning to its effective strength, may,
equally with other half-pay and unattached officers be
employed on the staff of the army, or be appointed to
such civil positions under Government as are now held
by officers of Royal Engineers on full-pay, who would
then be enabled to return the duty roster of the corps,
whereby the State would have the services of every avail-
able officer of Royal Engineers, whether on full pay or
half-pay ?

Mr. PEEL said it was not necessary to make any
arrangements on the subject. There was nothing in any
shape in the regulations which prevented officers onhalf-
pay from getting employment.

VICTORIA GOVERNMENT BILL.
Mr. J. BELL gave notice that on the second reading
of the Victoria Government Bill he should move that it
be read a second time that day six months.

ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.
Sir E. B. LYTTON wished the house to come to some-
understanding as to the course of business on Friday
next. The hon. member for Aylesbury had given notice
of a motion, on the order of the day for going into com-
mittee of supply, on the subject of administrative reform.
Now, according to the rules of the house, no amend-
ment could be moved on that motion, and as there were
many hon. members who were favourable to adminis-
trative reform who could not accept the terms of the
hon. member's motion, it would be obviously unfair to
the house and to hon. members in connection with
their constituents, to be compelled either to appear in
hostility to a principle which they advocated, or
else accept with the principle the positions con-
tained in a motion which they believed to be inaccurate
•r unsound. He would suggest to the noble lord at the
head of the Government the propriety of permitting the
question to be brought forward as a substantive motion,
in which case he (Sir B. Lytton) would submit an amend-
ment to the house which, he believed, would embody
the views entertained by many hon. gentlemen, and
which might meet the general acquiescence of the house.
Lord PALMERSTON said he had already stated that
the hon. member for Aylesbury should have precedence
on Friday, and it was his intent►on to move the post-
ponement of the orders for that purpose. He could as-
sure the hon. baronet that the Government had no wish
except that the question should receive the fullest discus-
sion, and be con.qdered in such a manner as to enable
' every hon. member to express his opinion if he should
think fit so to do. If the house thought it desirable the
hon. member should bring forward the motion as a sub-
stantive motion, he should have no objection to make
such arrangements as would enable him to bring it on in
that share. (Hear.)

Mr. LAYARD was uilling to leave the matter in the
hands of the house. He was ready to bring forward his
motion either on the house going into supply or as a
substantive motion on Friday, or some early day.--
(Cries of "Friday.")
Mr. DISRAELI hoped there would be no mistake as
to the arrangement. It appeared to be the opinion of
the house, as well as of the noble lord, that the motion
should be brought on on Friday in a substantive form.
Mr. SCULLY trusted that if the hon. baronet pro-
posed any amendment it would be a substantial one,
which might lead to some beneficial results. He had
himself given notice of an amendment which, without
blaming any one for what had occurred, would, he be-
lieved, lead to some substantial improvement.
Lord PALMERSTON said that if the hon. member
for Aylesbury would give notice to-night of his intention
to submit to the house a substantive motion on Frieay,
he would engage to move on that day that the orders be
postponed. He trusted that any amendments which
might be proposed would be placed on the books in suf-
ficient time. (Hear.)

Mr. LAYA.RD then gave notice that he would bring
the subject before the house as a substantive motion
on Friday. _ _

nmo of
Mr. BROWN, who addressed the house in so low a
siyz4tehme
moved—That,
of coinage, by the issue of the florin, has been eminently
successful and satisfactory ; that a further extension of
such system will be of great public advantage ; that an
humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying
that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to complete
the decimal scale with the pound and the florin, as sug-
gested bytwo commissions and a committee of the House
of Commons, by authorising the issue of Over -coins to
represent the value of the one-hundredth part of a pound,
and copper coins to represent the one•thousandth part of
a pound, to be called cents and mils respectively, or to
bear such other names as her Majesty may deem advisa-
ble. The hon. member, after adverting to the commission
appointed by Mr. Spring Rice soon after the destruction
of the old House of Commons, and quoting some ex-
tracts from their report in favour of a decimal coinage,
said that, although some inconvenience might perhaps at
first arise from the change which he recommended, he
was quite certain that it would be very speedily got
over, and that the facilities which a decimal coinage
would afford in the way of calculation would be a great
national benefit. The adoption of a decimal system had
been recommended by many conferences at Frankfort-
on-the-Maine and Vienna ; and the advantages which
were derived from the existence of such a system in
China were witnessed by Dr. Bowring, who, in his work
upon that country, bore testimony to the ease and ac-
curacy with which calculations were made by the
Chinese. The universal adoption of a uniform decimal
system of coinage would greatly facilitate the calcula-
tion of exchanges between different countries ; and there
were various modes in which the change from the exist-
ing coinage to such a system might be made, so that
neither individuals nor the public, would sustain any loss.
Lord STANLEY seconded the motion. He hal
complied with the request of his hon. friend that he
would do so, partly beause he had been a member of the
committee which sat upon this subject two years ago,
and partly because, however little personally acquainted
with commercial matters, he felt competent to bear wit-
ness to the preponderance of opinion in favour f
change recommended by his hon. friend, 0 . the
which existed
among the commercial classes in mercantile and manu-
facturing towns. To the idea which did, and might
perbans still, exist, that the proposition
for the adoption
of a decimal system was a visionary theory,
be supported by the opinions y which might
of a few hon. members,
but was not recommended by any great scientific autho-
rity, nor felt by the country to be a practical necessity,
he would oppose such authorities as Babbage, De
Morgan, General P asley H others, whom he was Herschel e , and many
only prevented from mentioning by
want of time—the opinion of the committee which
sat in 1838, that of the commission which re-
ported last year, and that of the committee appointed
by the house in 1853, which approached the subject in a
fair and candid spirit, and before which evidence of the
most various kinds was taken. It was also supported
by 200 or 300 members of the two houses of the Legis-
lature, who were declared partisans of the proposition
embodied in the report of the last-mentioned committee ;
and in addition to this, most of the chambers of com-
merce and great mercantile bodies, most of the banks
and commercial establishments of the country Were in
favour of such a decimal system. As to the advantage
of the change, he believed there was no room for argu-
ment. There was in its favour such an overwhelming pre-
ponderance
of evidence as amounted almost to unanimity.
Even if we had a system which proceeded by regular
multiples of any number other than ten, the Substitution
for such a system of a decimal system would be of great
advantage in calculation, as it happened that not only
had we not a decimal system, but not even a system
which proceeded by regular multiples of any number, the
proposed alteration would have two advantage!-fiat,

Clause 116 was agreed to with a few verbal amend-
ments.

house should go on was the adoption of a great scientific
decimal coinage, and that the unit should be something
which must divide a pound without • any surplus. The
main objection he had to the proposed plan was that if
they went below 6d., they would not find in the new
scale any coin, except the threepenny piece, which bore
any finite ratio with anything in this new currency of
mile. The 4d. would have to be expressed in figures, as
.01666666, with sixes ad infinitum ; the 3d. is ould have
to be expressed .0125 ; the id. would have to be ex-
pressed .00416666, with sixes ad infinitum ; the
would have to be written .00208333, with threes ad in-
finitum ; and the farthing would have to be written
.001041666, with sixes ad infinitum. This was the simple
system of computation which it was proposed to substi-
tute for that now in existence. Then there was the case
of tolls, the cases of vested interests, and the case of
the reOuction of foreign moneys into our new denom-
inations—all of which were surrounded with difficulties.
With respect to foreign moneys, we would have to re-
duce the first to vulgar fractions of a pound sterling,
and then to reduce them to the decimals of aX. Great
multiplications and large fractions are serious matters in
the calculating of the prices of articles, such as ribbons,
and in his opinion the proposed alteration would entail
enormous labour and serious loss instead of a saving of
time and money. He was no friend to congresses of
any description. He entreated the house, although this
question had been powerfully supported, and though
280 members had given their approval of it, to pause
before they adopted it. Let them rather have a com-
mittee before which gentlemen would be examined who
represented different opinions, but let them not rashly
rush into the new and very imperfect system proposed.
Mr. J. MACGREGOR denied every one of the asser-
tions made by the hen, member for Kidderminster. (A.
laugh.) The divisions of the coin in Belgium had been
of the greatest advantage and convenience to the poorer
classes. With respect to the £ sterling, he regretted
that it had not the natural relation to weight, and they
should divide the weight so as not to give the ounce the
awkward value of 3/. 17s. 10d. The decimal coinage of
France was not only most convenient in private accounts,
but in financial accounts, and the accounts were most
admirably kept in that country. He thought the prin-
ciple of the decimal should be applied to weights and
measures, as well as to the coinage. He approved of
the proposed scheme, but he recommended the hon.
member not to press it at the present moment. ,
Mr. HANKEY did not think there was any necessity
for a congress. He considered that we were fully com-
petent to act for ourselves, and he thought it was con-
sistent with the general progress, and with the degree of
intelligence which prevailed, to adopt some system of coin-
age in substitution of that which we had, and which was a
disgrace and discredit to a great commercial community.
The whole system of our weights and measures was
disgraceful. Foreigners were astonished at it, and said
it was pare of our constitution which was upwards of a
thousand years old. If it was a thousand years old,
there might be some merit in it. But that was not so,
for till a recent time our system of weights and measures
did rest on an hitelligible basis. That system had been
abrogated and lost by modern legislation. By the
change, making the pound seven thousand grains, the
confusion which never existed before had been intro-
duced. The cwt. is the basis of all our calculations in
commercial transactions, but that cwt. is 1121b5., and
this made a cornplicatien in the whole system of com-
mercial calculations, which was altogether needless. If
the hundred weight were 1001bs., instead of 1121b5., in
the Custom-house alone, it would make a saving of
10,0001. per annum. He was not willing to leave this
question entirely in the hands of the Government, and
therefore he called upon independent members to take
it up, and to continue to agitate the subject, because he
was satisfied that when the public mind was well in-
formed upon it, they would at once see the great advan-
tage of applying the decimal system, not only to weights
and measures, but to money also.
Mr. J. L. RICARDO was anxious to hear what was
the opinion of the Government on the subject, and to
know whether they assented to this proposal, or whether
they themselves had any measure to propose as a substi-
tute for it. As yet he had not heard a single argument
against the proposal, which, he believed, was supported
by all the great banking and mercantile houses in the
kingdom. True, the change could not be made without
its giving rise to some inconvenience, but all reforms
were open to that objection, and he hoped the house
would not allow itself to be led away from the question
by the humorous statement of the hon. member for
Kidderminster. Not only had two commissions re-
ported in favour of the proposed change, but the subject
had been fully investigated by a select committee of
the house, when nearly every. witness that was exa-
mined spoke in favour of a decimal system of coinage.
As for waiting until a system should be devised which
should be universally applicable to all nations, that was
quite out of the question ; if they waited for that period,
there never would be a decimal system introduced into
this country. There would be little or no difficulty in
carrying out the'proposed arrangement ; at least it would
not be so great as some people imagined, for navvies on
the Continent soon fell into the way of calculating by
centimes ; and he would undertake to say that if this
system were adopted, in less than a month the whole
country would become quite familiar with it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought
the house was under great obligation to his hon. friend
for having brought this subject under its consideration.
The first occasion on which a decimal system of coinage
was propounded by any public body was in 1838, when
a commission was appointed to investigate the subject of
the measure of length, in consequence of the yard mea-
sure and certain other lengths of measure having been
destroyed in the conflagration of the houses of Parlia-
ment. That commission in the course of its report ex-
pressed a strong opinion in favour of a decimal system of
coinage, and sketched in clear terms precisely the plan
which the hon. member for South Lancashire had laid
before the house. In the year 1853 a select committee
was appointed to investigate the subject, who' examined
many witnesses, and ultimately they reported in favour
of a plan which was precisely the same as that now pro-
posed. Last year another commission was appointed to
report upon the beat mode of constructing a measure of
length, and that commission bore testimony to the value
of the report which the former commission had adopted.
It was impossible for anybody who had heard the speech
of his hon. friend to doubt the earnestness of his con-
victions, or his being actuated by public, and nothing
but public, motives in bringing forward this questioes
It was evident he had devoted much time and thought
to this subject, while he was deeply impressed with its
importance, and it fully deserved the attentive conside-
ration of the house, more especially -as it was a subject
in which all classes, from the greatest merchant or the
wealthiest banker down to the poorest day labourer of
the community, were equally interested. (Hear, hear.)
But, doing full justice, as he was disposed to do, to
the motives of his honourable friend, he must at the
same time ask the house to reflect what would
be the practical operation of his motion if it were
adopted. Now the first circumstance that struck him
upon examining this motion was simply that the pound
sterling was to be retained as the unit or standard of our
currency, and the next denomination to be taken between
that and the penny was the florin. We had now the florin
in circulation, but it was not money of account ; see did
not reckon in florins, any more than in crowns and half-
crowns ; it was 'imply a coin in circulation—extensive
circulation he was ready to admit, but it was not money
of account. The proposition of his hon. friend was to
convert the florin into money of account, and he then pro-
posed to introdcce two new coins which were also to be
money of account, one representing the hundredth and
the other the thousandth part of the pound sterling, one
to be called a cent and the other a mil. Now that was
the outline of the system which his hon. friend pro-
posed for the consideration of the house, and if it were
adopted the house would be pledged in any future deal-
ing with the subject to a system which Rould restrict
the currency to four denominations of coins. Now
the subject had been considered by other persons besides
the commissioners and the committee to which he had
referred, and most of those persons had come to differ-
ent conclusions in laying down the basis of a decimal
coinage. The first plan was that that proposed by Mr.
Rathbone, which was founded upon the penny ; instead
of descending it ascended from the penny. It proposed
that there should be the penny; a tenpenny piece, called
an albion ; and a coin called an imperial, representing
100 pence, or Bs. 4. Another plan started from the
farthing, proposed a second representing 2id., a florin
valued at 2s. id., and a fourth coin valued at 11. Os. 10d.
Sir John Herschel, the late Master of the Mint, sug-
gested a plan which recognised the penny, but which
proposed that the mil should be equal to a farthing,
ten mils to 2Ad., the florin to 2s. id.. and the crown or
Victoria to 11. Os. 104. Another plan proposed that
the smallest coin should be a cash or a farthing ;
five cashes being equal to ld., fifty to ls., 100 to a
cent, and 1,000 to a mil. There were several other
plans on record, but for the present he would confine
himself to the one now before the house. On analysing
the plan of the hon. gentleman he found an objection, in
the first place, to the cent and mil as coins. The cent,
as a pure silver coin of the value of 2 2-5 d., would be too
small to maintain its ground in circulation, and as a cop-
per coin of the same value would be too large and bulky
ever to come into use. Then the mil was a coin some-
what smaller than the farthing, and the trouble of giving
up all the calculations based on pence for a calculation
based on a coin so infinitesimal as the} mil was a trouble
that few people would like to be subjected to. But neither
the cent nor the mil were multiples of existing coins ;
and the reducing the existing coins into those proposed
by the honourable gentleman would involve the employ-
ment of a lengthy and tedious series of decimals. Thus
the Mint price of gold, 31. 17s. 10/d., reduced into the
new system, would be expressed thus-3 pounds, Bflorins,
9 cents, 3 mile, and 75-thousandths of a mil ; and the
Bank price of gold, viz., Si. 17s. 9d,, would be 3 pounds,
8 fl., 8 cents, 7 mils, and 5-thousandths. (Laughter.)
Then, in adjusting the new rates of duty or payment, it
would be necessary to fix a sum either greater or
than the existing sum. That would be an endless trou-
ble if it were undertaken by Parliament ; and if, instead
of Parliament, the matter were left to the discretion of
the Government, that would be imposing upon them the
solution of a question scarcely, if at all, capable of satis-
factory settlement. There were other difficulties that
would accompany the plan, which differed materially
from that of Sir John Herschel. Shillings and pence
could not be abolished without a legislative act, for
though the ancient prerogatives of the Crown with re-
spect to the coinage wore ample, those prerogatives
had been so limited by succe sive acts of Parliament
that at present they could not apply to the case of a
change of coinage so extensive as that in contempla-

the 'transition from a non-decimal to a decimal; and
secondly, the transition from an irregular to a regular
ssystem. Two practical questions had to be considered.
First—and this was the most material—what was the
proper unit or basis on which such a system should rest ;
and secondly, whether any temporary or partial incon-
venience might arise, which would be sufficient to coun-
terbalance iu any material degree the ultimate advan-
tages which would be derived from the change. In re-
gard to the unit or basis, three different plans had been
proposed. The first gave what he might call the uniform
penny system. The penny was taken as the basis of the
coinage. The value of the next coin was 10d., and the
next 100 d., or Bs. 4d. No doubt, it was in favour of
this plan that it left undisturbed the particular coin in
which all the smaller transactions were carried on ; but
it was to his mind a fatal objection to it,- that it would
destroy every other existing coin. (Hear.) Under such
a system by far the greater part of the coinage of this
country could no longer be used either for purposes of
account or of circulation. Another objection was theft
the largest coin would be of the value of only Bs. 4d.,
and as all sums now written in pounds would have to be
written in the new denomination, the number of figures
would be doubled, and the labour of keeping accounts
much increased. The smallness of the coin would also
increase the proportionate expense of coinage ; an I
would, in addition, render it inconvenient for practical
use. A further objection to such a system was, that it
would be necessary in accounts to take the penny as the
basis of calculations, and then you would increase the
number of figures to be employed, and therefore materi-
ally add to the labour. The second proposition was this
—to retain the penny, to make the next above a penny
a teupenny piece, and then, if necessary, to add another
piece of one hundred pence. But in order to preserve the
pound as the basis, it necessitated the making of twenty
pieces of twelve pence each, or twenty-four pieces of
ten pence each. If there was any respect in which
the decimal system produced inconvenience it was
where they were dealing with small amounts and with
persons not conversant with commercial transaction, ;
but where the decimal system would be really advanta-
geous, namely, when it involved large calculations, that
system failed altogether, and they were left to the cum-
brous and inconvenient methods now in use. The com-
promise that he suggested was to retain at once the penny
and the pound. There had been great exaggeration as
to the amount of interference with the existing course of
affairs which was necessary to introduce a decimal system.
Now, what was the system of coinage proposed by the
committee ? It was to retain the shilling, the florin, the
half-sovereign, the crown, and also, if possible, the half-
crown. Then it was said you required to destroy or
remodel your whole copper coinage. It was true they
would require to change in a small degree the value of
the copper coinage ; but all that was proposed in the
plan of the committee was to insert a new coin be-
tween the penny and the farthing, and that did not
require the calling in of any coin now in use. By chang-
ing the value of the copper coinage they inflicted some
alight loss on the holders of the copper coinage, but he
apprehended there were no holders of copper coinage in
any great quantities. But it was said that the penny
was the poor man's coin, and in altering that they were
exposing him to fraud. He (Lord Stanley) was quite
content to argue that question on its own merits. The
only change that =could be made in the valueof the penny
would be this, that twelvepence halfpenny, instead of
twelvepence, would go to the shilling. Once impress that
fact On the public mind, and the difficulty was sur-
mounted. Then it was said• that in the cases of payment
in the army and navy and the Government offices some
confusion would take place. That again was an assertion
which had not been supported by any evidence, because,
in point of fact, the payments were not made in copper.
The only case where any real difficulty occurred was in
that of the postal stamp and tolls levied by act of Par-
liament. There were two ways of getting over the
difficulty about the postal stamp ; either they might
reduce the price of the penny letter stamp by one twenty-
fifth, which would not be attended by any consider-
able loss of revenue ; or they might have recourse to the
alternative of raising the penny stamp to a penny and
one-fifth. As to the question of tolls and other pay-
ments fixed by act of Parliament, various modes had
been suggested of overcoming the difficulty in that re-
spect. The simplest was this—to allow the use of the
next coin above a penny for a limited time, and then to
have recourse to the penny at its now reduced value.
The introduction of the florin was, in fact, the adoption
of the first step towards a decimal coinage. We had
already a decimal coinage, so far as two coins were con-
cerned, and we only wantel a third to fit into them.
With respect to the amendment about to be proposed by
the hon. member (Mr. J. B. Smith), for calling together
a congress of nations for considering the sub-
ject of a decimal coinage, he was inclined to think that
no practical advantage would result from such a pro-
posal, if adopted. The experiment had already been tried
among the German States, and had not answered. He
should therefore oppose the amendment; and he had only
to express his hope that the Government would take
in hand and endeavour to carry through the proposi-
tions embodied in the report of the committee. (Cheers.)
Mr. J. B. SMITH said he quite agreed with his hon.
friend the member for South Lancashire and the noble
lord, as to the importance of a decimal system of coinage.
He did net think they overrated the advantage of it ; he
only condemned the principle which they were desirous
of adopting. Nile thought the principle ought not to be
adopted, at least without further consideration. The
committee of the House of Commons which sat on this
subject, and of which he was a member, appeared to
have been embodied for the mere purpose of reporting
on a foregone conclusion. (Hear.) Every member of
it, with but one exception, was of one opinion—(a laugh)
—and it was very remarkable that every witness who was
examined before them was in favour of the £ unit. The
fact was, that they heard no evidence but what was one-
sided. Now, what would be the effect of the unit ? It
would be equivalent to asking her Majesty to create a
piece representing the one-hundredth part of a £, and an-
other the one-thousandth part of a£. They could not
make use of it in the payment of any sum under sixpence.
They could not pay a halfpenny or a penny toll. Sup-
posing the motion before the house was carried, they
would have a decimal system of coinage and a duodeci-
mal system of weights and measures, and that would en-
tail verf,serions loss on the working classes. In America
they had adopted a decimal coinage, but they retained
the English system of weights and measures ; and the
consequence was that in order to make the two systems
harmonious they were obliged to resort to two coins
which were absolutely illegal, namely, the 1-Bth and the
1-16th of a dollar. He apprehended his hon. friend (Mr.
Brown) did not intend that we should be always wit h-
out a decimal system of weights and measures. If it
were possible to get the different nations of the world to
adopt a uniform system of money, weights, and mea-
sures, that would be a greater advantage than we could
derive from having a decimal coinage only. But if we
failed in that object, then we should look out for that
system which was the simplest, and which would create
the least inconvenience in changing from our exist-
ing practice. It had been said that an international
coinage would be as difficult to bring about as an inter-
national language, but he would remind the house that
an international system of coinage bad been attempted,
and had been partly carried out with great succese. The
first idea of that kind originated in France. In 1790
TaVeyrand moved in the Nattonal'Assembly that tae
King of Great Britain and the sovereigns of the other
nations of Europe should be invited to send representr.-
tives to a congress of nations to consider the practica-
bility of adopting an international system of money,
weights, and measures. At that time French- notions
were not very favourably received in this country. and we
sent no representative to that congress, but tie Nether-
lands and Switzerland sent f•—• learned men, and they
agreed in the system which a.. ow in vogue in France.
That was not the only instance, 1 Holland changed her
coinage and adopted the same system as prevailed in South
Germany. He denied that the congress in Germany ha
been unsuccessful, as stated by the noble lord. It bad
only been adjourned, and not abolished. He hop d
the Government would not adopt any one-sided view
of this question. England, he thought, was the first to
proclaim free-trade with all the world; and he thought
it was equally fitting that she should now invite the na-
tions of the world to mutual intercourse on the subject
of a common system of money, weights, and measures ;
and he knew nothing that would tend more to produce
feelings of goodwill among them than a course of that
kind. (Hear.) The hon, member concluded by moving
as an amendment—" That an humble address be pre-
sented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would
be pleased to invite a congress of representatives of all
nations, at some convenient place, with the view of con-
sidering the practicability of adopting, a common stand-
ard of money, weights, and measures. '
Mr. LOWE said he had made it his business to look
into this question, and he had formed a strong opinion
upon it, but an opinion different from that of the hon.
gentleman the member for South Lancashire. To do away
with the compound rules of arithmetic in the reckoning of
money would be an object well worthy their attention ;
but the question they bad to settle was the modus deci-
mandi, and he did not think the plan which the hon.
gentleman had hit upon was the proper one. We had a
system in existence already which, though it had many
faults, was found to work well, and the house should lie
fully satisfied that the new system it would sanction was
a much better one than that to be supersedel. It ap-
peared to him (Mr. Lowe) that the unit which it was
proposed to take was too high. The usual course taken
by other countries was by way of addition, and not by
division. We took the highest sum first, and then sub-
divided it ; they took the right course, which was to fix
on a proper starting point in the first instance. Suppose
we were to adopt the same course with the mile which it
was proposed to adopt with the pound sterling, we would
go on decimalising without getting any measure which
any one would want. The florin had been forced into ex-
istence as the tenth of a pound, and its success as a coin
had been vaunted; but the only success the florin could
boast of, that he knew of, was that when he ought to
reseive half-a-crown he generally received only aflorin,
and when
heotighhtaltfo-ap-caryowtwn.o shvvilleilnl,gsthheeyfwouenred
thoehlaevade
generally to pay
the florin, and then the cent, that is
2 2-5 d., which re-
. presented nothing ; and then they were to have the mu,
- • which had no other recommendation but that it was the
thousandth part of the pound sterling. This unit was
either too large or too small for practical purposes.
would, if the new system were adopted, be condemned
.to live on decimals. A man when he would dine at a
tavern would be forced to pay for his dinnerin decimals.
He (Mr. Lowe) thought it would be better to pay for
his dinner in integrals than in decimals. They would
also be obliged to use four columns in keeping accounts,
and it would lead to the obliteration of all the mean
•14!' IT is in existence, as no denominations would be used
nound sterling and the mil in keeping ac-
was so in America and China, and so it
'e ; and thus her Majesty would be striking
Lich would never be used. Taking the
of other nations as a guide, he thought it
1 wise to hatroduce such divisions of the pound
was now proposed. The principle that the

that the industrial system was not sufficiently extended
The average attendance in the national schools was 111,
whilst in the 43 industrial schools the average attendance
was nearly 400. One-third of the industrial training was
given in the workhouse schools, for out of the 65,000
children educated under that system, there were 21,486
in the workhouse schools. The industrial branch was a
graft on the institutions established by the National Board
which consisted of 15 persons, 6 of whom were members
of his own profession. Now, in his opinion, a board of
education ought not to contain so many barristers, but
such men as Mr. Dargan, Sir R. Peel, and Professor Sul-
livan, who were desirous of developing the resources and
promoting the industry of the country. Ha thought a bene-
cial change might be effected by placing on the board
men who were conversant with the subject. In speak-
ing of industrial education, it would not be fair to pass
over the good which had been done by independent in-
stitutions which were unconnected with any board or
grant—such as the echool at Bonmahon, where, in the
course of two years and a half, twenty boys had left a
balance in their favour of 5001. He believed the system
acted upon in Belgium was perfectly applicable to Ire-
land. In Belgium a grant was made by the State to-
wards education, and another by the district in which
the school was situated. The contractor was left free to
manage the institution, but the Government reserved the,
right of inspection, and the result had been most re-
markable. In Flanders there were 65 establishments of
this kind, called workshop, and the result had been
that in 53 of the districts in which these establishments
existed wages had increased, and in 25 cases these work-
shops had led to the establishment of factories and other
workshops.
An Hon MEYBEE here noticed that there were not
40 members present; and the Speaker having ascertained
that there were only 37, the house, at half-past 11, stood
adjourned until to-morrow (this day).

THE FALL OF THE ATLAS IRON WORKS.—Yesterday
Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest
at the Eight Bells Tavern, Cross-street, Blackfriars, re-
specting the death of John Regan, aged 50, who died
from injuries received by the falling of the Atlas Iron
Works, on the 14th of May last. The evidence went to
show that the building fell owing to the giving way of
an arch, on which rested a pillar, forming the chief sup-
port of a main girder. After a long inquiry the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental death."
