Sir J. sHEI.LEY hope,l the hospital would be aim-
menced before the other ouilitings.
Sir T. ACLAND thought a sum of 3,0001. would he
scarcely sufficient for our probable wants. He should like
to know how many patients.the hospital .was meant to ac-
commodate.

Captain SCOBELL Raid it had been stated that if the
purchase wore made Burlington House must come down.
If so the price paid for the ground would be at the rate of
a,bout 50,0006: an acre. He protested against the public
being called on to pay for accommodation to private
societies.

Mr. M. MILNES believed, from all ho could learn,
that the estimate was an extremely economical one. He
had been told that other parties had offered even a larger
sum than the vote. One rumour was that an intention
existed of buying the ;,round fur a large Homan C:►thoiic
c theulral. (Laughter )

W. MOLESWORTEI said the estimate was for 40
patients, which would meet all proper requirements.
Mr: LA.YARD wished to know whether the hospital
would be of stone or wood ?
. . .

Lord RUSSELL believed the building to be erected
would be of stone; and he should communicate with his
noble ;timid the Secretary for Foreign Affairs relative to
its being commenced at once.
The vote was then agreed to, and the house resumed.

Mr. BANKES said that one reason why he objected to
the grant was, that ho had been told that that beautiful
structure, Burlington House, would be pulled down,
which, in his opinion, was to be regretted, as it would be
one of the greatest ornaments to the metropolis if it could
only be seen. He thought that private societies could
build much cheaper fur themselves if left to their own
res inrces.
Mr. HEYWOOD'said that the presidents of the dif-
ferent s ientitic societies bail hail a mseting the other-day,
argil had ell agreed that the purchase was ilesitab e, and
was otilged to the ativertunent for proposing to buy it-,

The CH INCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not
well uederstan I the arguments !lade use of by the hen.
member for Dir etshire. That hon. gen tlein sic stated that
his ehjeetion to this vote would be either withdrewri or
greatly tuoilirieil if it w -re proposed to pull down the wall
in faint of Burliegten-house ; and, h wing nettle that at:ste-
lae-et. he proceeded to say that, at the present time, it vas
absolutely necessary, on account of the war, to refrain
from applying to Parliament, for money to be expmeleil for
a purpose not iteso!ntely neeeesery. lie cooll nit ut dur
stand how these two arguments could hang together, nor
cooed he admit that either was tenable. The proposition
for pulling down e the wall, and so ()peeing the view to
Burlington-hense, was a proposition not to be enduret—e
(" ah, oh !") —that was to say, not to be endnred by those
who were intrusted with the menagement of the public
resources at the present time ; and, on the other hand,
he protested ag inst the doctrine, that the country was so
reduced in means that no money could be voted except for
purposes of what might be called ales Itr:e necessity. With
respect to the acquisition of three acres and a half of land
at a pri.e which every one must admit was by no means
extrav gent, in the very heart of London, in a most com-
manding situation, in a great thoroughfare, he cool I only
say that if the opportunity were allowed to pass it might
be many generations -before such another occurred, and
in the 40 or 50 years which might elapse before such
an opportunity occurred in whet way could the public
demands fir space be met ? With regard to the statement
that scientific societies could furnish themselves with room
at a cheaper rate than the Government- could provide
it for them, be must say that he could not agree to
to that statement.; - because, if they were provided with
eprace in any Government building, other parts of the
which would be useless to them, could be
turned to eccottut by theGoverninent. The difficulty which
those societies met with in obt'aining accommodation
was the difficulty of procuring a large room for their meet-
ings, but if they were provided with apace by the public.
one large room would he sufficient to answer the require-
meats of all. The hon, member for Lambeth had spoken
of the vacant space in Downing-street; but that site was
wasted for other purposes. The position of the great State
races in Downing-street leas abso utely disgraceful. Some
of them were even dangerous, and others inconvenient in
the highest degree, and it had become.a matter of neces-
sity that they shard.' think of an alteration and enlarge-
ment of those offices on a great scale. For such purposes
the vacant space in Downing-street would naturally be
required. To transcer any of the great offices 'of State
to Burlingtou-hou,e) would he altegether inconvenient,
and it was important they should all be centred
in the neighbourhood of Downing-street. But for
commissioners' offices and establishments of that kiud
Burlington-house would he found exceedingly convenient,
and he therefore thought that for such purposes the pro-
posed arrangement was an excellent one. He hoped, there-
fore, that the present question would not be mixe 1 up
with the one about Kensington, or in any w:q confounded
with the question of the National Gallery, which hail been
discussed and-settled, as was understood, conclusively, in
the course of last session. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. DISRAELI said f..here could be no doubt of the
soundness of the statement made by the right hon, gentle-
men, that nothing coeld be more valuable or rather invalu-
able to the Government of this country than those spaces
~f ground that from time to time might be procured in the
metropolis.' But, before he adverted to that subject, he
would venture to make a remark on one or two ob ervations
that had fallen from bon.gentlemeu opposite The hen. mem-
ber for Lambeth had
.cotumented on the propriety of some
alterations in-Somerset-house for which he (Mr. Disraeli)
was responsible, and in some measure approved of what had
taken place He Was quite prepared to show, if it was
necessary to go into the question, that those alterations
were all for the convenience of the public service, as well
es economic-2i to SO far as regeriled the public expenditure,
,ind that, in so far as the tuanegeinent of the Duchy of
Jortrwall was concerned, the alterations were unquention-
shly ail in favour of the public. (Hear.) So far, dud ed,
from there being anything like a suspicion of what wan
called "a job" in this matter, the Duchy of Cornwall would
have been perfectly a tistieil to rem-tin in their old quarters.
tHear, hear.) The hon. and gallant member fur Beth had
ovule one of those, he might say, habitaal attacks on pur-
iases that were so common in tit .t house, and found fault
.vith the purchase of Keusingtoh-gore ou account of its
expense. He stated that 201,0-301. had been paid for
10 acres of land, whereas the fact was that it was not
?0 but 90 ace s of I and that were purchased (hear,
hear)—atirl, therefore, when the hon. member fur Bath
wished to establish -his reputation tor economy and made
his attacks on these purcha,es, he ought to be more statia•
correct in his figures. He could not agree with the
gallant captain, that the site of Burlington-house was end-
itently qualified for a National Gallery. (Hear, hear.)
Before they determined what was a good site for a National
Gallery, they should come to a conclusion as to what was
ineant by it National Gallery. He thought the preseet Na-
tional Gallery was the greatest disgrace thatexieted in this
country, and be would much sooner there wasno institution
bearing the name than that the small collection in the pre-
sent institution should be where it now was iu this metro-
, pais. (Hear, "hear.) In his mind, the site of Kensing-
ton, which had been recommended by a couimittee
iif that house, was not too small for a National Gallery'', a
great palace of art, worthy of this nation, and he earnestly
tropedetro attempt would again be made to raise a National
Gallery, such as a National Gallery ought to be, unless
they attempted to do-something really worthy of the coun-
try and the subject. (Hear, hear.)` There was nothing on
this question sit important as that which the Chancellor of
the Exchequer had so strongly impressed on the house, of
every existing-Government seizing upon every opportunity
thee, presented itself of purchasing such spaces of ground
in the metropolis as might be thrown upon the market.
It was absolutely necessary to avail themselves of these
opportunities of protuotiug the public service, and that in
no niggardly spirit. (Hear, hear) It was of the utmost
importance that they should have more accommodation for
the public offices, and it was hardly less important that
the public servants should be as much as possible brought
together by the contiguity of the offices in which they were
placed. Indeed, contiguity was, to a certain degree, as
valuable as additional space. (Hear, hear.) For these
reasons, if the Government recommended the purchase of
those 34 acres of ground in Burlington-horse, he would

RUiSIkN GOVER,NMENT SECURITIES BILL.

Mr. WILti.IN-SON oojected to going on with a bill of
such importance at th,t hour (it was 20 minutes to two
o'clock). He moved that the ch report progress. •
S.r J P sKINGTON said. the house had got into its
present oiffieulty in consequence of the hwerunieut hav-
ing gone on with the cinumittee of supply after one o'clock.
He believed that the*ble lord the member for Ma yle-
bone had good reason complain of the manner in which
he had been treated; the progress of the measure had been
alrea y stayed, iu order that the opinions of the law offi-
cers of the crown might be had on it, iti.d now, alien b th
those gentlemen were present, the house was precluded
from going on with the bill, in consequence of tun way in
which business had been couducted that evening.
Mr. WILSON would reiniud the right hou. baronet
that if no discussion ha l arisen on going into uotntuittee of
supply the bill would have come on earlier.
Mr. I. BUTT tl-ought his noble friend ought most surely
divide the house on the motion to report progress, unless
he received an assurance that a day wuuld be fixed by the
Government on which the lull would be proceeded with.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL said it was absolutely
necessary that some important ameud men ts should be made
in the bill, awl he promised that if the bill were po-tponed
until Tuesday or Wednesday next, he would bring forward
Some amendments which, without pledging himself to sup
port the bill—(laughter)--he would undertake to say were
such as would greatly improve its character.
Mr. I. BUTT must say the hon. and learned gentleman
ought to have made up his thihd as to whether he intended
or not to support the bill. He w.,tald ask the h.'use was it
proper the S dicitur-General should come down to the
house, and tell them ho had not made tio his mind as to
the course he should pursue in reference to a measure that
had been described Ly so eminent an authority as the noole
lord the Secretary for the Home Department as involving
the honour of the country, and, as attracting the attention
of all. Europe. He must say the house and the country had
a right to demand that some definite course should be pur-
sued with respect to the bill.
Mr. T. HANK EY, as one of the minority, was most
anxious that the bill should be properly discussed, and
joined in recommending the postponement of the bill.
Mr. HENLEY thought that Wednesday next would be
a very convenient occasion for discussing the subject,.
were it not that there was some uncertainty as to the
presence of the law officers of the Crown on that day.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL got up to state he, at all
events,

next, when he was interrupted by
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who, amid the laughter
of the house, proceeded to state the bill was prepared with
a most laudable disregard for everything that ought to be
attended to in its composition —(laughter) and he was
therefore aiming's that a delay should t .ke place in the
progress of the measure, in order that the detects in so
notable a performance should be rendered less glaring. He
could assure the house the bill had been framed with a
perfect neglect of all British mercantile interests, and of

HOME CIRCUIT—MAIDSTONE, JULY 26.

This was an action to recover damages from the de-
fendant for having seduced and debauched the wife of
the plaintiff'.
Mr. Chambers having opened the case, called
James Benlalt, who deposed that he was the plaintiff's
nephew, prodneed the certificate of a marriage between
his uncle :rid Rose Ritweight on the lstJuly. 1848.
He was not present at the marriage, but he visited them

His uncle carried on the eueine-s of a tailor, and his
wife worked as a dressmaker. His uncle went into the
