BREACH OF PRIVILEGE

The Earl of DERB ir wished to call the attention of
their lordships to what he might be justified in con-
sidering a breach of the privileges of their lord-
ships' house—not so much on his own account,
as for the purpose of dcing, justice to another gentle-
man, with regard to whom the most unfounded misre-
presentations had been made in one of this evening's
papers. Their lordships as 'ere aware that he had attended
that day a committee of the House of Commons for the
purpose of being exan lined with regard to certain
proceedings before that committee ; and a ques-
tion was there put to him to which he gave
a very distinct and decided answer, which he
found was reported with perfect correctness and
almost verbatim in The San of this evening, but was re-
ported in the Globe not only with great inaccuracy, but
in a way to convey an entirely opposite meaning, and
conveying an impression most unfavourable to the gen-
Veman to whom he had referred. If this question had
merAy touched himself' alone, he should not have
thought it consistent with his duty to call their
lordships' attention to it ; but when he was represented
to have given a most unfavourable opinion with regard
to the conduct and personal honour of a gentleman whose
conduct was under examination, and with regard to
whom he expressed a precisely opposite opinion, lie
thought it was due to Unit gentleman to bring this mat-
ter betre their lordships' notice in the most public and
authentic manner, and tc' compare that which he did not
state with that which he had stated. The question was
put to him whether he %was aware of a statement which
had been made before 014 committee, that Mr. Stafford
had said that he (Lord Derby) had put great pressure
upon him with regard to 'the' disposal of the patronage
.of the Admiralty in dock ards. His reply was, that he
should be very much surprised to hear that Mr. Stafford had
made that statement, ben use heta,d the highest opinion
of his honour and veracity, and he felt convinced that
Mr. Stafford had not made: such statement as he musthave
known that it was utterly inconsistent with the fact, and
had not the slightest folio ,dation. In making that state-
ment he had expressed wl mat he felt—that he had perfect
confidence in Mr. Staffon l's veracity, and he should hear
with great surprise tl tat Mr. Stafford had ever
made such a statement. He could not bring him-
self to believe that that statement had ever been
made by Mr. Stafford. 'That was given in The Sun of
this evening with perfect accuracy, and he would now
read the answer as appeared in the Globe;
and he would only tray, that as he was but
asked four or five quesd ions in the committee, and as
the answers were clear mnd distinct, and as there was
perfect silence in the corm uittee, and as the answers were
taken down in short-hand, he thought a journalist who,
under those circumstances , inserted false statements was
perfectly inexcusable. (]dear, hear.) In the Globe
lie was represented as having said, " I have heard
with regret some statemi nits made by Mr. Stafford,
because I had a very high opinion of Mr. Stafford and
his honour, and Mr. Stall :Ord must have known at the
tins he made those stater cents, that they were entirely
inconsistent with the pran tics of the Admiralty and the
rules of the service." Thus: it was represented he had heard
Mr. Stafford's statement - with regret, because he (Mr.
Stafford) must have knot an they were contrary to the
fact, and because previous ly he had a very high opinion
of Mr. Stafford's personal honour. He was quite sure
their lordship's would cons ider ha would have abandoned
his duty if he had not ea lied their attention to this re-
port, for the purpose of g iving to it the most immediate
and emphatic contradictio. n. (Loud cheers.)

COMMON LODGING-HOUSES BILL.
After some conversatio n this bill was read a second
time.

The Berl of ALBEMA.BLE presented a petition from
the citizens of Manchester, praying that the future
Government of India in th is country should consist of a

direstly responsible to Parliament.

ROYAL ASSENT
his. Pulman, the Yeoman UsherETo.f the Black Rod,
appeared at the table of the h to desire the attend-
ance of this house to hear theeßMl
Lords' assent given to cer-
tainispor bills, for a list of which see
ALe
STAINES, WOKINGA
RAILWAY BILL. WOKING
On the return of the Speaker, the third reading of
this bill having been moved,
Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR moved that this bill
recommitted, on the ground that the committee before
be
for
whom it had•been discussed had not allowed the South:
Eastern Railway Company, as landowners, to be heard
by counsel against the preamble of the bill. He con-
tended that the South-Eastern Company had a locus
standi, B,lld the committee had decided wrongfully.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER defended the course taken by
the committee. lie objected to recommitting the bill,
because everything that could be said by the South-
Easteiie Company had been already said, and that at
very great length.
After a few words from Mr. EVELYN, the motion
Was withdrawn, and the bill was read a third time.
Fisher's Divorce Bill was read a first time.
PETITIONS.
Mr. CAYLEY presented a petition from Harrow-
gate, in the West Riding, prayinr, the house to interfere

Lord GODERICH presented a petition from Bradford,

Mr. L. KING presented a petition from Boston, in
favour of the Ballot.
Mr. W. PATTEN presented a petition from Preston,
praying for the abolition of the advertisement duty.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented petitions in favour
of the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays.
A number of petitions were presented in favour of
the Parliamentary enfranchisement of the London Uni-
versity.
Mr. COBBETT presented a petition from the Old-
ham Literary Institute, praying for Parliamentary
papers.
Sir J. SHELLEY presented a petition from certain
jurors of the metropolis, praying for the appointment of
a public prosecutor.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE FOR THE
HOLIDAYS—COURSE OF PUBLIC BUSINESS.
Lord PALMERSTON moved that the house at its
rising adjourn until Thursday next.
Mr. DISRAELI inquired what would be the course
of public business on Thursday and Friday next.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that would depend upon the progress made to night
with the legacy duty. It was, however, the wish of the
Government to press on the financial business as speedily
as possible and no measure would be brought forward which
could interfere with it. The income tax resolutions he
hoped to be able to report this evening, and afterwards
to bring in the bill, so that it might be printed and in
the hands of members to-morrow. Before the second read-
ing of this bill it would be desirable to dispose of the resolu-
tions with respect to the Legacy Duty and the Spirit Du-
-1 r des Bills but it was of the utmost public importance that
the Income Tax Bill should be got through committe with-
out delay, and he should therefore propose to take the
second roAding of that bill and the Spirit Duties' Bill on
Thursday n.ext. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. DISRAELI thought it would be impossible to take
both bills on the same night ; but there was another
matter of importance which the noble lord the member
fox the city of London had promised should be an-
nounced before the recess, namely the day on which it
was proposed to state the views of the Government with
regard to the future administration of the affairs of
India.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
then he would take the Spirits Duties Bill next Thurs-
day, and the Income Tax Bill on the following night,
but only on the (understanding that the bill should be
committed on the following Monday.
Mr. DISRAELI saw no objection to taking the In-
come Tax Bill on Friday, but it would be much better
to postpone it, that was the second reading, until Mon-
day week.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could
not accede to this proposal.
Mr. MILNER GIBSON said his County Rates Bill
stood on the paper for Thursday next, but ender the
rule which had been recently passed, Government
claimed the right of giving their orders the precedence.
Now, this was contrary to the standing orders which said
orders of the day should be taken as they stood on the
paper, and he wished, therefore, to know from the
Speaker whether the Government were entitled to this
privilege ?
The SPEAKER decided that they were according to
the practice of the house.
In reply to a question from Sir R. H. INGLIS,
Mr. WILSON stated that the papers relative to the
change in the Customs duties of the Isle of Man would
be laid before the country as soon as possible.
Mr. DISRAELI Said he had received no answer yet
to his question relative to India.
Lord PALMERSTON could only state, in the ab-
sence of the noble lord the member for the city of Lon-
don, that in the present state of public business no day
could be fixed for the purpose alluded to.
Mr. HUME suggested that the question had better
be postponed until a future session.
Sir F. KELLY said they had not yet decided what
would be taken on Thursday next.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said lie
could fix nothing until he saw what progress was made
with the legacy duty to-night, but if this subject was got
through, lie proposed to take the Spirit Duties Bill and
the Hackney Carriage Bill on Thursday next.
Mr. COBDEN said the noble lord the member for the
city of London promised to state before the house broke
up for the holidays, the clay upon which he would take
the discussion on the Education Bill. Could any mem-
ber of the Government state now for the noble lord
when the subject would be brought on ?
Lord PALMERSTON- replied in the negative, but
ample notice would be given of the day after the recess,
Mr. E. EGERTON wished to ask the Chancellor of
the Exchequer whether he would be prepared to direct
the Board of Stamps to make such arrangements as
would afford the public information of that portion of
the stamp duties in any year derived exclusively from
the transfer of landed property.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not
able to supply the information.
Mr. NEWDEG ATE wished to ask the Chancellor of
the Exchequer whether it was the intention of her Ma-
jesty's Government to require from the proprietors of
estates in Antigua the full amount of five per cent.
interest upon the capital advanced to them by the
Government.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was intended to charge 4 instead of 5 per cent., but
there would be no extension of the tune for repayment.
Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to ask the Under Secre-
tary of State for the Colonies whether he intends shortly
to lay upon the table further papers on the affairs of the
Cape of Good Hope ; and if so, whether they will
contain full information as to the views and intentions
of her Majesty's Government with respect to the Orange
-River Sovereignty and the eastern boundary of that
colony.
Mr. F. PEEL said it was intended to lay a series of
papers upon the table in continuation of those which
had already been published.
Sir DE L. EVANS asked the Under-Secretary for I
the Home Department, whether there will be any objec-
tion to modify the proposed enactment, for giving sum-
mary jurisdiction without appeal to a police commis-
sioner, or in fact, to any constable of the police force,
respecting omnibus proprietors, horses, and carriages ?
Mr. FITZROY must decline to discuss or answer this
question until the second reading came before the house.
Sir F. KELLY wished to know if it was intended to
make any change in the present exemption from duties
of horses engaged in husbandry ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied I
in the negative.
Mr. BLACKIE inquired of the President of the
Board of Control, when it was likely the evidence of
the India committee would be printed.
Sir C. WOOD said the whole of the evidence which
had as yet been taken before the committee, had already
been reported, and he hoped it would be printed and in
the hands of members immediately after the recess.
The motion that the house at its rising do adjourn
until Thursday next was then agreed to.
PROPERTY QUALIFICATION.
_

Mr. TUFFNELL gave notice that, early in June, he
should ask for leave to bring in a bill to abolish the pro-
perty qualification of members ; and when the noble lord
moved for leave to bring in a bill to disfranchise persons
employed in her Majesty's Dockyards, he should move
as an amendment that the votes of such electors should
be taken by ballot. (Hear. hear.)

INCOME TAX. •
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CHEQUER, the report on the income tax resolutCims
was ordered to be received, and the report having been
brought up by Mr. BOUVERIE, the resolutions were read
and agreed to, and leave given to bring in a bill founded
upon them.
LEGACY DUTY. _

The house then went into committee of Ways and
Means, when
Sir J. PAKINGTON rose to resume the debate on
the subject of the legacy duty, and was
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

Memorandum transmitted by Rifaat Pasha to his Exce'l-
lency Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, on the 10th of
April, 1853.
Your Excellency knows that, with a view to repress the
revolt of the inhabitants of Montenegro, which forms a
portion of the Ottoman Empire, a revolt which lately
broke out, a blockade was established on the coasts of
Antivari. Inasmuch as, under the auspicies of his Ma-

Montenegro, his Highness has ordered the raising of the
blockade, which fact has been made known to the authori-

concerns.
