BLEACHING AND DYEING WORKS BILL.

In reply to Lord J. MANNERS,
Mr. M. GIBSON said that at this stage of the session
he did not think this bill could be carried, and therefore he
did not propose to proceed with it at present.
JAMAICA LOAN (SETTLEMENT) BILL.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in moving the second reading of
the Jamaica Loan (Settlement) Bill, stated that it was for
the purpose of settling by compromise a very old debt due
by the colony, of the history of which he gave a short
sketch, explaining the terms upon which it was proposed to
remit the arrears of the debt.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS opposed the bill, considering that
the people of Jamaica were perfectly capable of paying the
amount due, and moved to defer the second reading for
three months.

TI CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER reminded
the house of the directs of imperial legislation, which had
placed the colony in peculiar difficulties ; but while he felt
strongly that Jamaica had a claim to consideration, he
should have thought it his duty, he said, to stand out for
more favourable terms for this country, but for the circum-
stance that the Governor of Jamaica, as the representative
of the Crown, had made a proposal for the remission of the
loan, which had been adopted by the Assembly in a bill.
He therefore recommended the house to accept a compro-
mise that would insure the disappearance of the Governor's
salary from the estimates.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBT hoped the house would take
warning from this transaction, and be cautious in future in
lending money to colonies.
Mr. CAVE explained the circumstances under which
the payments in discharge of the loan fell into arrear, and
the difficulties encountered by the colony, observing that
there was no chance of the present proceeding being drawn
into a precedent.
The discussion was continued by Mr. Hadfield, Mr.
Scully, Sir M. Farquhar, and Alderman Sidney.
The amendment was negatived, and the bill was read a
second time.

LUNACY REGISTRATION BILL.
1
the house then went into committee upon the Lunacy
Regulation Bill.
Mr. M. SMITH moved amendments of the 3d clause,
with the view of excluding two restrictions, one limiting
the inquiry in lunacy cases to two years from its date; the i
other declaring that the opinion of any medical practi-
tioner shall not be admissible as evidence of the insanity of
the party. 1
Atter much discussion the former amendment was nega- il
tived upon a division by 86 to 50; the latter was carriedlby ,
72 to 53.
Other bills were forwarded a stage, and the house ad-
i
journed at a quarter to 3 o'clock.

THE COUNT DE PLAHAULT TO EARL RUSSELL.
. Albert-gate, July 8, 1862.
My Lord,—l am directed by the Government of the Em-
peror to inform your Excellency of the following fact,
which took place before Portendick in the month of May
last, and which constitutes an infraction of the Ist Article
of the Convention of March 7, 1857, relative to Portendick
and Albreda. It is there stipulated that the Government
of her Britannic Majesty gives up the right which treaties
have hitherto allowed to subjects of her Britannic Majesty
to trade between the mouth of the river St. John and the
bay and fort of Portendick, inclusive.
It appears from information which has reached the
French Government, that an English' vessel attempted, in
the month of May last, to form commercial relations with
the Moors, and to persuade the Sheikh of the Trazars to
receive next year two English vessels which are to arrive
for the purpose of establishing
One or two landing places on
the coast.
The 'lmperial Government has no doubt that her Ma-
jesty's Government will take the necessary stops to pre-
vent the repetition of siSigned) tnilar nccurrenees.—Rec,i,s, &e.,(
