BANK RETURNS.

Mr. HUME did not and could not approve of the
terms which Sir Henry Ward had proposed, and he
admired the spirit in which they had been refused.
Papers for which he had moved in March had not been
produced till Septemher, and, therefore, he had not been
able to bring forward a substantive motion. He should,
however, do so within ten days after the production of
the papers for which he had moved.
The motion was then agreed to.
ENCLOSURE BILL.
Sir W. JOLLIFFE obtained leave to bring in a bill to
authorise the inclosure of certain lands, in pursuance of
a special report of the Inclosure Commissioners for Eng-
land and Wales.
RAILWAY AMALGAMATION.
In reply to a question,
Mr. Secretary WALPOLE stated the terms of the
motion which Government proposed to take with
reference to the question of railway amalgama-
tions. It would be for a Select Committee to consider
the principles of railway amalgamation, and to inquire
as to what measure ought to be taken by the house with
reference to bills for the amalgamation of railway com-
panies, or the amalgamation of railway with canal
companies.
Mr. E. ELLICE (Coventry) suggested, that the right
hon. gentleman should state the extent to which he pro-
posed that the inquiry should be carried on in the com-
mittee.
Mr. GLADSTONE thought it would be very desirable
to extend the terms of the motion. There were other
means of effecting amalgamations besides amalgamation
bills, and other proceedings which attained the same
purposes as acts of Parliament. It was desirable the
committee should consider the whole of them. (Hear,
hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE said, that it would propably be
better, in the absence of his right hon. friend, to post-
pone for the present the appointment of the committee.
Mr. EVELYN DENISQN thought it very desirable
that they shouldknow what course was to be adopted on
this subject. If, on the one hand, it were inconvenient
to move the committee now, on the other hand there
would be great inconvenience in the postponement of
the motion for any considerable time. (Hear, hear.)
He almost thought that the general convenience of the
house would be best promoted if the right hon. gentleman
would move for the committee that evening, and would
take some other opportunity of explaining the views of
the Government as to the course they would pursue.
Mr. WALPOLE was not aware of the details of the
measure which his right hon. friend the President of the
Board of Trade was to have proposed ; and, as there
seemed to be some doubt whether the terms of the mo-
tion were sufficiently extensive, he thought it would be
better not to press it at that time, though he saw no ob-
jection to the suggestion of the right hon. member for
the University of Oxford.
General ANSON thought the scope of the motion
should be much more extensive than it was. He should
be glad to have the whole subject of the future legisla-
tion with regard to railways submitted to a committee.
There were nearly 200 bills coming before the house for
amalgamation purposes, or running powers, and he
viewed it as of the utmost importance that the house
should undertake the question, and that they should not
be afraid to grapple with it, but should lay down some
principle to guide those great companies, the directors of
which were frequently unjustly attacked and accused of
a monopolising spirit, when their only object was to
afford a fair security to those who had invested their
money in these undertakings. (Hear, hear.) It would
be quite as well, in his opinion, to defer the committee
for a day or two, and in the meantime the Government
might consider whether it would not be better to make
the motion even more extensive than the terms proposed
by the right hon. member for the University of Oxford.
He had no objection to the committee considering the
questions of amalgamation and of leases and agreements,
because, in point of fact, they were one and the same
thin—

Mi. E. ELLICE had had some experience of this
matter in former committees, and he knew that, unless
the Government stated for the consideration of the house
the policy that was to be submitted to the committee,
their labours would be of very little use indeed, so far as
any practical result was concerned. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. GLADSTONE entirely concurred in what had
just fallen from his right hon. friend the member for
Coventry. If the motion for the committee were
agreed to, he took it for granted that the President
of the board of trade would be ready to state the views
of the Government before the names of the committee
were determined on ; hecause it was quite certain, if
there were one question more than another on which
the house most absolutely required the guidance and
assistance and restraint and control of the Government,
it was the question of railway legislation. The Govern-
ment and the house together had made but a very indif-
ferent affair of it heretofore, and if a committee were to
attempt to go into the question without a previous de-
claration of the policy to be adopted, they would become
an instrument of mischief rather than of good.
Mr. WALPOLE said he would rather not move the
resolution at present.
Lord J. RUSSELL presumed that the right hon. Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade would be ready to state
what his views were when he proposed the committee
again.

-Mr. WALPOLE said no doubt he would ; his right
hon. friend intended to have done so that evening if he
could have been present.
The motion was then withdrawn, and the house ad-
journed at a quarter to six o'clock.

PRUSSIA.
The Chambers were opened on the 29th by Royal
Commission. After attending the performance of
divine service in the cathedral, the deputies of both
Houses assembled in the White Hall of the Palace,
-where they were met by the Ministers, in their state
uniforms, who took their place to the left of the
throne. The Tribunes were but thinly attended ; '
the throne was covered, as usual, when the King
does not open the Session in person.
M. Manteuffel, the President of the 'Cabinet,
read the Royal address. The most important
paragraph is as follows :

" It is to be regretted that the treaty concluded with
Hanover on the 7th of September, 1851, and approved
of by the Chambers during the last session, has not met
with that general adhesion which was calculated to in-
sure, through the development of the whole Zollverein,
a future rich with prospects for all branches of
industry and commerce. But as his Majesty's
Government firmly holds the object in view,
even so does it consider itself confident, henceforth as
heretofore, in the full approbation of the country, if it
will not assent to the maintenance of the present cir-
cumscription of the Zollverein, under conditions which
would endanger the interests of Prussia, as well as the
prospects and salutary development of the whole Zollve-
re in. (Here the Minister was interrupted with loud and
general cheers.)
