HACKNEY CARRIAGES BILL.

The order of the day fo; the consideration of the Hack-
ney Carriages (Metropolis) Bill, as amended, was then
road.

Lord A. VANE said, he saw no economy in the bill, and
could not understand what there was in it which should
make the public so anxious for this " wonderful Cab
Bill." He should move, upon the next stage, that the half
miles be charged at a proportionate mileage rate, and that
the rate for waiting be assessed as at present.
Mr. W. J. FOX suggested that some right of entrance to
railway stations should be provided for cabs, and that
these stations should be put upon the same footing as the
other cab ranks.

Mr. J. M`GREGOR would be very glad to consent to
this, if the Government would repay the railway compa-
nies the money they had expended upon their stations.
Sir J. V. SHELLEY understood that the fee at present
paid by cabs on entering the stations was principally for
water, and that whatever there was over and above went
to form an annuity-fund for the cab-drivers themselves.
The bill was then considered, and ordered to be read
third time on Monday next.

REGISTRATION OF ASSURANCES BILL.
Lord J. RUSSELL postponed the second reading of this bill till Friday next, with the view of then referring it to
a select committee.
SUCCESSION BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having in-
troduced this bill, and fixed its second reading for Monday
next, stated that he was desirous of removing some mis-
apprehension which he feared might exist with regard to
it, relating to a matter, indeed, of only secondary import-
ance, so far as the principle of the measure was concerned,
But still of considerable interest. He had stated, that in
the case of a person succeeding to an encumbered estate,
he would be charged with the succession duty upon the
residue of the net income that would come to him after all
deductions had been allowed, and after his encumbrances
had been allowed ; but that, if he sold it, he would have
to pay upon the whole amount of capital after he had li-
quidated his encumbrances out of the estate. In reference
to this latter portion of the statement, he wished to say
that it appeared to the Government to be better to aban-
don that altogether; and, consequently, any person having
once paid his tax upon the net income of which he was in
enjoyment would be discharged from all liability in respect
of it, whether he sold his estate or not.

The other orders were then disposed of, and the house
adjourned, at half-past 1, till Thursday next.

proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the chair."

is expedient, before additional taxation be extended to Ire-
land, that a select committee be appointed to inquire into
and consider the fiscal and political relations and relative
taxation of Great Britain and Ireland, and to report
whether the latter kingdom does not bear her fair share of
Imperial taxation," instead thereof. Question put, " That
the words proposed to be left out stand part of the ques-
tion." The house divided—ayes, 194 ; noes, 61.
