THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 185;3

gings, and declare that 48 lashes such as are inflicted on
board a ship of war are equal in severity to at least 200
of the stripes a soldier receives from the regimental
drummers—an assertion which lam certain I shall be
borne out in by all who have had the same experience
as myself.

JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL-APRIL 15,

Order for third reading read; motion made, and question
proposed, " That the bill be now read the third time :"
Amendment proposed, to leave out the word " now," and
at the end of the question to add the words " upon this
day six months :" Question put, " That the word ' now'
stand part of the question." The house divided—ayes,
288 ; noes, 230.

The power to inflict this dreadful torture—second,
only, in my opinion, to the power over a fellow-creature's
life—is assuredly too great to be confided to one man,
if it be necessary that it should be continued at all ; but
as the punishment of the lash has been decided by such
high authorities as Lord Palmerston, &c., to be degrad-
ing and brutalising, the sooner a check is given to the
use of the cat on board our ships of war, the better.-4

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-APRIL 14.

(From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of
Commons.)
DITTY ON PAPER.

Motion made, and question proposed, " That the Excise
Duty on Paper, whilst impeding the developement of an
important manufacture, also materially obstructs the pro-
duction of good cheap literature ; and the maintenance of
this tax as a permanent source of revenue would be im-
politic and inconsistent with the efforts which Parliament
is now making to promote education amongst the great
body of the people : "—Whereupon the previous question
put, " That that question be now put :"—The House
divided ; Ayes 80, Noes 279.
MINORITY—AYES, 80.
