THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL AND THE HOME SECRE-
TARY.—Yesterday morning, in the Commons, there
was r.e
was cinsiderable difficulty in constituting "a
house,CO an
ulddbe
was half-past 12 before the requisite 40 m
chair. At
got together to enable the Speaker to takeenithbeers
about 20 minutes past 12 Sir Roundell Palmer,
rthe
the
door,
through suddenly rose and made towards
through which the Sergeant-at-Arms alleweil him to pass,
in violation of the standing order, which provides that
when once in the chamber a member must not leave until
"a house" is made. No sooner had the learned gentleman
passed through the glass door, when he. was met by one of
the officials outside,
we already Min
i-
who sternly sent him backho were to the
sterial benches amidst the titters of
prisoners. A minute or twoafter
this Sir G. Grey, appa-
rently remembering an engagement, and not having noticed
what had just occurred, made
off in a hurried way towards
the door, the Sergeant-at-Aims by this time having left the
house. But the Home Secretary fared no better than the
Solicitor-General. The scrupulous
doorkeeper solemnly
reminded him of the risk he was incurring in running coun-
ter to the rules of the house, and Sir G. Grey walked quietly
back to his seat, where he remained until the 40th member
appeared, and the business of the day began.
COLONEL LAFINCKI'S EXPEDITION.—The corps
which, under the command of Colonel Lapinski,
sailed from London 160 strong, a short time ago for Memel
in the Baltic, has met with a series of reverses. Twenty
four members of the expedition were drowned in an attempt
to land at Malmo. The whole of their guns and war stores
were confiscated, and those who remained of the expedition
were brought back about three weeks ago in a Swedish
steamvessel, and landed at Woolwich. They have since
remained there, in the . hope of being soon enabled to
make another effort to reach Poland, but from causes not
explained, the corps has now been disbanded, and the
last party who remained yesterday left Woolwich for
London in a state of destitution. They had disposed of
their uniform and effects, and adopted a civilian dress be-
fore starting.
EMIGRATION.—Since 1814, down to Midsummer,
1863, no 1e.:8 5,383,812 emigrants have left the
United Kingdom to seek their fortunes in other lands.
1,234,506 went to our North American colonies, 805,128 to
Australia and New Zea1and,3,238,579 to the United States;
105,599 to other parts. In the great emigration time, the
eight years 1847-1854, there were no less than 2,444,802
emigrants, all average of more than 300,000 a year ; and in
the year 1552 they averaged more than 1,000 a day.

THE
EFIRAmi"NFGEHMAAI*
"FEMALE BLONDIN"
Mr. DOULTON gave notice that he should to-morrow
ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department
whether the owners of licensed places publicofati li entertain-
ment were responsible for the safety of life n
whether he would undertake to introduce a bill nesth
t iwfutni
which
..,
per-
sons undertaking to perform dangerous feats ; and limb
of
to amend the law, enabling the police or other local a session
rides to compel the adoption, in every case, of steps
would prevent a recurrence of so shocking an accident
a
that which had occurred at Birmingham, by which a woman
s
had lost her life.
NON.REMOVAL OF CONVICTS—BERKSHIRE.
Mr. WALTER said some time since a batch of prisoners
were sentenced to penal servitude at the Berkshire assizes,
and had been detained in Reading gaol until within the
last few weeks, instead of having been removed, in the
ordinary way, to the Government gaols. Parliament
annually voted a large sum of money for the maintenance
of these prisoners. Owing to the long period the convicts
specified had been left in the Reading gaol, considerable
cost had been thrown upon the ratepayers. In consequence
of this a charge of £2OO was made upon the Home-office,
which was referred to the Treasury, which replied there
was no precedent for making such a payment, and refused
to accede to it. He desired to learn from the right hon.
baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
whether, in cases of this kind, counties were not entitled to
compensation P
Sir G. GREY replied that it was the practice of the Go-
vernment to remove prisoners from the county to the Go-
vernment prisons as quickly as possible, but this, of course,
depended upon there being room in those prisons for their
reception. Unfortunately, in consequence of the increase
of crime, it had been found very difficult to find room for
all the prisoners, and he regretted that in consequence
serious inconvenience had been caused to some of the
county gaols. It had been considered by the Government
whether, when prisoners were detained an unusually long
time in the county gaols, a sum of 4s. per week ought not
to be paid for each. Nothing, ho wever, had yet been done.
Additional cells had been constructed in the Government
gaols, and he could only hope that the inconvenience com-
plained of would not occur again.
CATHOLIC REFORMATORY, LEICESTERSHIRE.
In reply to Mr. CAVE,
Sir G. CiREY said lee was sorry that the reports of the
inspector had been of the most unsatisfactory kind, and he
nad recently instructed him to intimate to the managers
unless an amendment took place the certificate would be
revoked. Since then he had been informed by the inspec-
tor that the institution had been placed under new manage-
ment, and that a great improvement had taken place. Fur-
ther, he had instructed the inspector to pay an early visit to
the institution and to report thereon.
STATUTE LAW REVISION BILL.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on moving that the
house go into committee, briefly explained its nature. It
was based upon the labours of two commissions which had
respectively cost the country £37,000 and £21,000, and had
been contemplated for a length of time by the Government.
Such a measure was imperatively necessary, and would, in
his opinion and that of the Government, work exceedingly
well. _ _ . _

Sir F. KELLY stated several objections which he enter-
tained to the bill, and expressed his regret that it was not
framed upon the recommendation of the Statute Law Com-
mission,which had been disregarded and departed from. But
nevertheless it was a good and important measure. Unless,
however, they accompanied expurgation by consolidation
they would do little good; indeed, this was the only way
to destroy anomalies. He earnestly pressed upon the Go-
vernment to adopt his suggestion, and so make this great
and excellent work, as far as it went, thoroughly practical.
He hoped the bill would be followed by other remedial
measures.

Mr. HENNESSY contended that a bill of this important
hind ought only to be introduced in a committee of the
whole house, and as from its voluminous nature there was no
time to consider it this session, he moved that the house
go into committee this day week.
Mr. J. R. SMITH seconded the motion.
Sir H. CAIRNS strongly supported the bill. When the
proposed scheme in its entirety was carried out, the 43
schemes which contained the operative statutes would be
compressed into about eight.
Mr. HENLEY said the bill had only been printed nino
days, which, looking to its voluminousness, was totally
inadequate for its proper consideration by that house, and
therefore he advocated its postponement until next session,
Accuracy was of greater consequence than speed.
Mr. CLAY appealed to the hon. and learned member for
Queen's County to permit the house to go into committee.
Let not the house earn the character of being slow to adopt
law reforms.
Mr. AYRTON had carefully examined the bill and
found it exceedingly defective as a compendious revision of
the existing statutes, Hence he should support the motion
for delay.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied. The opposi-
tion to the bill was conceived under a misapprehension
which, on account of the voluminousness of the subject,
was very difficult to dissipate. It was impossible to avoid
taking a good deal upon trust. No good would arise from
deferring the bill to the next session, because they could
only go over the same ground, and again arrive at the
same result, namely, that the bill before the house, or a
similar one, was imperatively required for the consideration

of the law.
Mr. HENNESSY withdrew his amendment,
The SPEAKER explained that bills having reference to
religion and trade must be originated in committees of the
whole house; it was not so, however, with bills that came
down to tiat house from the House of Lords,
The house then went into committee.
Mr. HENNESSY moved that the Chairman report pro-

gress.
The question was put and negatived.
On the motion that the preamble be agreed to,
llr. HENNESSY moved that it be postponed. The bill,
he said, proposed to repeal the 15th Charles 11., c. 11,
on the ground that the Commissioners of Inland Revenue
had informed the Government that it was not in force. The
bill empowered penalties and double costs on commissioners
giving improper judgments to the injury of havers and
publicans. Such a summary mode of proceeding as this
was exceedingly objectionable.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained that this act
had been dealt with in past consolidations.
The clauses were agreed to after a short discussion.
On the schedule,
Mr. HENNESSY moved that all the words affecting
,
i‘larpaa Chart.r be omitted.
The bells were rung for a division, but on the question
being put the schedule was adopted in its integrity. The
other schedules were agreed to.
The bill then passed through committee, and was ordered
for third reading to-morrow.

OHOCKING WRECK OF A PILGRIM SHIP WITH
400 LIVES.—It is feared that a most calamitous
shipwreck has happened in the vicinity of Aden by the loss
of the ship Boyne, with 400 pilgrims on board. The ad-
vices received at Lloyd's state that the Boyne left Bombay
about a month since (prior to June 25) with about 435 pil-
grims, bound to Suddal, and when near Ifoodedah the ship
is reported to ba'e struck on a rock, and remained fast.
The pilgrims were landed on an adjacent island, and soon
afterwards the vessel was got off, leaking badly ; but the
passengers, in spite of the warning of the nacoda, immedi-
ately re-embarked. and the ship was got under weigh, but
the water gained so rapidly on them that they were com-
pelled to abandon the vessel, and in the rush to escape
nearly 400 of the pilgrims ate said to have been drowned in
the wreck.

ternational Exhibition of Vienna will be opened in 18GO,
