PUBLIC REVENUE AND CONSOLIDATED FUND

BILL.

On the order of the day for resuming the discussion on
the consideration of the report,
Mr. WILSON suggested that the bill should be allowed
to plss through its present stage without opposition, and
that the adjourned debate should be taken at another op-
portunity, when the Government would fix a, time at
which the subject in debate might be fully discussed.
Mr. I. BUTT recommended the hon. gentleman to di-
vide his bill into two parts, to pass that against which
there was no objection, and to leave the other part to be
dealt with next year. With a view to put himself in per-
fect order, he should move the adjournment of the debate.
Mr. WILSON said that it would be impossible to follow
the course suggested by the hon. and learned member.
Mr. NAPIER disputed the correctness of the hon. mem-
ber's view of the case, and went into the merits of the bill
amidst the loudly expressed impatience of the house.
Mr. V. SOULLY and Lord NAAS pressed for a post-
ponement, whereupon,
Mr. WILSON said he should refer the further conside-
ration of the bill till Monday.
Mr. I. BUTT gave notice that on Monday be should
move that the bill be recommitted.
VICE-ADMIRALTY COURT (MAURITIUS) BILL.
Mr. F. PEEL explained that the object of the bill was
to render valid all decisions given by the judge of the Vice-
Admiralty Court at the Mauritius during the time he was
not acting under a regular commission from the Govern-
ment.

The bill was then passed through committee.
The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Bill was
read a second time.

SUPPLY.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that, notwithstanding the lateness
of the hour, he hoped the house would go into committee
of supply in order to vote a sum of 20,0001. for the ex-
penses of prisoners of war, as there was no mode at present
of meeting those payments. There was now an opportunity
of purchasing a prison in the county of Sussex, at a mode-
rate price, exceedingly well calculated for the reception of
prisoners of war. At the close of the last war the cost of
prisoners was nearly 1,000,0001. per annum. There were
then three great prisons devoted to that purpose, but since
that time they had either been pulled down or transferred
to other uses, and at this moment there was no public
building applicable to this particular purpose. He only
asked for the sum of 20,0001., of which 5,0001. was in-
tended to be applied to the purchase of the gaol at Lewes.
He (lid not anticipate any objection to that vote, and it
would expedite the public service if the house would con-
sent to go into committee of supply. (Hear.)
The house then went into committee of supply.
Admiral WALCOTT suggested that some of the Queen's
ships lying in ordinary should be used to receive prisoners
of war.

Sir J. GRAHAM said that there.were now several ships
at Sheerness which were being prepared for the reception
of prisoners of war, and he had confident hopes that before
the end of the year they would have inmates to fill both
the gaol and the ships. (Laughter.)
The vote of 20,000/. was then agreed to, and the house
resumed.

DUBLIN CARRIAGE BILL.
This bill went through committee.
POOR-LAW BOARD CONTINUANCE BILL.
This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com•
mitted on Friday next.
UNION CHARGES CONTINUANCE BILL.
This bill was read a second time.
PORTLAND, &c., CHAPELS BILL.
This bill passed through committee, and was ordered to
be read a third time on Monday.
NEW FOREST BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill, when the
various clauses were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to
be read a second time on Monday.
WARWICK ASSIZE BILL.
This bill as amended was considered, and ordered to be
read a third time on Monday.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS BILL.
The house then went into committee on this bill.
The clauses having been agreed to,
Sir J. EAST moved the addition of a clause to the
effect that any person who shall, in any part of the United
Kingdom, use any dog for the purpose of drawing or
helping to draw any cart, carriage, truck, or barrow, shall
forfeit and pay a penalty not exceeding 40s. for the first
offence, and not exceeding 5/. for the second and every
subsequent offence.

Afr.-CRAUFURD objected to the introduction of the
clause.
The committee the divided, when there appeared—
For the clause
Against it l3
Majority
The clause was then added to the bill.
The following members were appointed as the select
committee on the Thames Marshes :—Sir Edmund Filmer,
Lord ➢udley Stuart, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Sir John
Shelley, Mr. Alderman Cubitt, Viscount Bernard, Mr.
M. Chambers, Mr. Thomas Greene, Mr. James M`Gregor,
Sir William Smijth, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Frewen, Mr.
Masters Smith, Mr. Vansittart, and Colonel Dunne.

COUNTY COURTS.
Mr. CRAUFURD moved for certain returns in connec•
tion with the salaries and appointments of county court
judges.
Lord PALMERSTON objected to some portions of the
return, as the reasons for appointment, and the ages of the
judges.
An hon. MEMBER moved that the house be counted,
and there being but 34 members present, the house ad-
journed at half-past one o'clock.

POLICE BILL.—The Town Council of Leeds held a
special meeting on Wednesday, and unanimously
agreed to a petition in opposition to this bill, and ap-
pointed a deputation to wait upon Lord Palmerston on
the subject. As, however, his Lordship stated to the
deputations from Liverpool, Manchester, and other
corporations, who had obtained an interview with his
Lordship before the Leeds deputation arrived in town,
that the bill would be withdrawn, they communicated
their resolutions and a copy of their petition against
the bill to his Lordship, through Mr. Baines, M.P. for
the borough.
