THE AMNESTY IN POLAND.

Mr. DENMAN asked the First Lord of the Treasury,
whether her Majesty's Government had received any in-
formation as to whether the amnesty offered by the Em-
per r of Russia to those engaged in the Polish insurrection
was intended to suspend the execution of political prisoners
taken eince the commencement of those proceedings of the
the Russian authorities which led to the insurrection ?
Lord PALMERSTON replied that it was now well
known that the Russian Government bad issued a procla-
mation granting an amnesty. There were some variations
in the proclamation issued at St. Petersburg, and that
issued at Warsaw. As yet the Government had received
no very accurate intot mation as to the correct interpreta-
tion. There were different interpretations as to the
exact purport of the proclamation—one asserting
to be in the comprehensive sense mentioned by his
honourable and learned friend ; the other that its
intentions were rather restricted. All ho could say
was that he hoped the la,gor interpretation was the ju.t
one. (Hear hear.) It was impossible not to feel that the
Russian Government entertained the sense that its troops in
Put lad had unfortunately committed acts of terocious vio-
lence, end that there was great reason for the enaction of
acts of forbearance and mercy in order to set them right
wi h the pubic. (Hear, hear )

DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

Mr. GREGORY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether any reports from the Poor Law Inspectors had
reached him as to the state of destitution in the western dis-
tricts of Galway and Mayo ; if so, whether he would lay
these reports before the house ; if not, if he would order the
inspectors to report as to the condition of those districts?
Sir IL PEEL replied that reports were certainly sent in
from the Inspectors in all parts of Irelan i, which had been
printed. The recent reports treating of the increased dis-
tress in the country he had no objection to lay on the table
of the house.

OF LORDS.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH desiredjask the noble lord (Lord
Palmerston), whether he thought it desirable, with a view
to the efficiency of the i_ublic service, and respectful to the
1101.183 of Commons, that the chiefs of three departments—
namely, the Secretary at 'War, the Chief Secretary of the
Admiralty, and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
should be concentrated in the House of Lords, and this
house left to the Under-Secretaries of the three Depart..
ments? (Hear, hear.) _ _

Lord PALMERSTON replied that it had been his en-
deavour to make the best arrangement he could for
the public service, combining as many benefits
with as few objections as possible. (Hear, hear.)
It would be desirable, 'no doubt, to have the whole of the
Secretaries of State in the House of Commons; but all he
could say was, that the house would not suffer any incon-
venience in consequence of the arrangements recently made
in regard to full explanations being offered to the house in
all xnattera relating to the public service. (Hear, hear.)
London, England, 1863-04-21

ADMIRAL WILKES.

Mr. ROEBUCK desired to ask the noble lord, the First
Lord of the Treasury, a question—but if inconvenient he
would repeat it on Thursday—whether the Government
had determined upon what line of conduct it would be proper
to pursue:with regard to Admiral Wilkes—(hear, hear)—
and whether the noble lord had any objection to state the
nature of the determination of the Government ?

Lord PALMERSTON--I would rather take the ques-
tion as a notice for a future day. (Laughter.)
WOODS, FORESTS, AND LAND RE VENUE

OFFICE, &c

Mr. A. SMITH. then rose to move for a select committee
to inquire into the Office of Woods, Forests, and Land Re-
venues, and the Office of Works and Public Buildings, and
the operation of the Act 14 and 15 Vic. c. 42, by which
these were constituted as two separate departments,

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday three committees of the House of Lords
commenced their inquiry into the various measures
for extended railway communication. The first
committee consisted of Lord Egerton, chairman, and
Lords Saltersford, Bandon,Airlie, and Home, having
before them the following bills :—Carmarthen and
Cardigan Nos. 1 and 2 Bills ; Carnarvonshire ; Ilfra-
combe; Ringwood, Christehurch, and Bournemouth;
Sid mouth and Budleigh ; Salterton ; Colne Valley
and Halstead ; and Uxhridge and Riakmansworth.
The consideration of the Carmarthen and Cardigan
No. 1 Bill having been postponed, the second one
was proceeded with, and from the statement of the
case, as opened by Mr. Phinn, Q.C., for the pro
moters, it appears that the object of the company is
to make three mineral railways, of nine miles
long, at Kidwelly, Coulbrook Stack, and to the Car-
way and Duffryn Steam Coal Co.'s works in Car_
marthenshire, at au estimated cost of £90,000, and
to borrow £30,000. General evidence as to traffic,
and on behalf of the Aberdare Canal Company oc-
cupied the committee throughout the sitting. The
second committee, consisting of Lord Monteagle,
chairman, Lords Ravensworth, Silchester, Sondes,
awl Harrowden, met to consider the Dales Valley
Mineral ; Merthyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny;
Dare Valley ; Cardiff and Caerphilly ; Rumney and
Brecon, and Merthyr Tydfil Junction ; and Brecon
and Merthyr, and Vale of Neath Railways. The
bill of the Dulas Valley Mir.eral Railway for chang-
ing its name to that of the Swansea, Neath, and
Brecon, for extension of 22 miles, to the Merthyr and
Brecon, to raise £450,000 by shares, and £150,000
by loans, for the general purposes of the undertak-
ing, being unopposed, was referred to Lord Redes-
dale's committee. The case of the Merthyr, Trede-
gar, and Abergavenny, for an extension to Rhymney,
for further station land at Abergavenny, extension
of time to 1866, to complete the authorised line, to
lay down a second line of rails, and to raise £lOO,OOO
by shares and £33,000 by loan, was opened by Mr.
Merewether, Q C., and witnesses were examined
by Mr. Johnson in its favour. Ultimately the com-
mittee decided on rejecting the Rhymney Extension
portion of the project, as calculated to interfere un
fairly with the rights of vested interests, and ad-
journed the further consideration of the other ob
jects of the bi!l until Wednesday. The Dare Valley
bill for the formation of branch collieries at Aber-
dare, at a cost of £16,000, was next opened by Mr.
Kerslake, Q.C., Mr. Paget and Mr. Clark examin-
ing witnesses. Farther evidence was taken by Mr.
Calvert, Q.C., in Lord Taunton's committee, on the
Blackburn, Chorley, and Wigan Bill, Mr. Mere-
wether opposing on behalf of the London and North
Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire Com-
panies.

THE YELVERTON AND SHEDPEN CASES.--The
Shedden case will shortly be heard in the House of
Lords on appeal from the Court of Probate. This celebrated
case, which for more than half a century occupied the various

siderable interest. The appellants' me, which will extend
to several hundred printed pages, is not yet lodged; the
time for that purpose expired on the 7th ult., and
a petition was presented by the appellants for further
time to lodge their case till the 18th of this month. The
counsel engaged in the case are—Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Sir
Hugh Cairns, Mr. Rolt, Q.C., Mr. R. P. Collier, Q.C., Dr.

President—The Duke of 111JCCLEUCIL K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
ponied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
Magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than :1,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly hoard feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing eases that
daily present themselves.

BANDA AND KIRWEE BOOTY.

Mr. ANGERSTEIN asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury, whether the law officers of the Crown had been con-
sulted and pronounced their opinion on the subject of this
booty, and whether there was any objection to communi-
cate their opinion to the house ; whether it was the inten-
tion of the Government to recommend the distribution of
this prize money according to the opinion of the law officers
of the Crown; and, if the preferential right of the actual
captors had been established, whether there was any other
cause for delay in distributing this prize money ?
Lord PALMERSTON replied that no final decision had
been arrived at, and that the subject was still under con-
sideration. Only lately he received a counter statement
from parties claiming a share of the boot y, The question for
decision did not turn upon a matter of law, so that the
matter did not rest with the law officers of the Crown, but
with the Crown itself, The decision must be entirely
governed by principles of equity and justice of the circum-
stances.

Mr. ANGERSTEIN asked the noble lord to name a day
when he could repeat the question with the prospect of ob-
taining a reply as to when the booty would be distributed.
Lore PALMERSTON could not at the present moment
distinctly fix upon a day.

ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.

-
A general meeting of the governors of St:Thomas's Hos•
pital was held this afternoon at the Terminus Hotel, Lon-
don-bridge, for the purpose of considering the position of
the affairs of the hospital.
The minutes of the last meeting of the grand committee
having been read,
The CHAIRMAN (Sir J. Musgrove) moved that they be
confirmed. _ .

Mr. ADAMS objected to the motion, because it was im-
portant that the governors should be all well informed of
the exact p )sition of the transacti,‘ns that had taken place
between the governors of St. Thomas's and Bethlehem
Hospital. He thought that the extracts from the minutes
just read ought to have been printed and sent to the gover-
nors previous to the meeting. _

Mr. TITS said the only information of importance in the
minutes wis the resolution of the board of Bethlehem
Hospital, which had appeared in all the newspapers.
Mr. ADAMS said it was of the utmost importance that the
governors should have had some information as to the
business to be transacted that day before coming into the
room. He thought the plan of refusing to issue that in
formation highly objectionable.

Mr. TITE said the business for which the governors were
summoned was to hear a communication from Bethlehem
Hospital relative to the site and to say what the governors
would do. Mr. Currie had made his report to the grand
committee as to the cost of erecting an hospital in the
country for Bethlehem, and they would have to consider
that.

The estimate of Mr. Currie, the architect, was then re-
ceived, which stated that the expense of raising a hospital
in the country for Bethlehem, in place of the one now in
existence, would be £130,000 for the building, and £20,000
additional for the land, Parliamentary and other expenses,
making in all £150,000, against which there would be a
set off of £211,000 for the present buildings,
boundary wall and railings. including the
at some length
Mr. TITE then addressed the meeting
with respect to the pioceedinge which had taken place
between Bethlehem and St. homas's Hospital. The
President of Bethlehem Hospital had written to tho Pre.
sident of St. Thomas', saying that in the event of a new
hospital being built for them in the country, suitable to
purposes, they had no objection to enter into
negotiations for their present building for
the
purposes of St. Thomas's Hospital, but u
n
no other terms. Mr. Currie had taken the n; 150
at-
ter
in hand, and his estimate had just been read. The
authorities of Bethlehem refused all negotiation ou any
tohveergnoovernors could most
other terms, and for £130,000
1 krly obtain the site. As the
g
build a hospital forgovernors could not legally
any other body but St. Thomas's, he
thought if they offered the plans of Mr. Currie, which
were now on the table, and the
160,000 in money to Beth.
