IMPERIAL PARLIA:\TENT,

•
should be sorry to ignore the claims of the present Go
vernment. There was only one cause of misgiving among
men of science in the present Government, and that was
the act of the present First Lord of the:Adiniralty in
having suspended the maritime survey of the British coast.
He hoped that that survey would be resumed. • He now
came to the plan which he wished to bring under the
consideration of the house. It was instituted by the
conductor of the laboratory at the National Observatory
at Washington, in the United States, who first conceived
the idea of requiring all the masters of 'merchant vessels
to enter in their log-hooks in addition to all the infor-
mation which those documents usually contain, an ac-
count of all phenomena they mieht obsi rve at sea which
could be rendered available for the improvement of hy-
drography, and generally for the advancement of science.
The plan was, that the log-books containing these re-
ports should be all sent to the Observatory at Washing-
ton, and that the data so furnished should be,collatal
and employed in the construction of new and improved
charts; which should be engraved at the expense of Go-
vernment, and furnished to the masters of vessels in re-
turn for the material so supplied. The Custom-house
officers were directed to give circulars containing in-
structions to the masters of vessels, - but no frifit
came of this measure. The gentleman he had referred to
however, 'collected a number of log-books, and discovered
a new and improved-route to Rio. It was tried, and
the voyage which had been usually made in 41 days was
made in 29 days. From this time the 'whole aspect of
affairs seemed to change. Materials flowed in in abun-
dance, and now there- are upwards of a thousand masters
of ships engaged night and day, in recording these obser-
vations; The observations were regularly brought to
the Observatory at Washington, and all the leas up to
November, 1851, were published in a book which he,
now held in his held. It appeared that in the old route-
to Rio, vessels were in the habit of going so far east as
the 19th degree west longitude, for the purpose of avoid-
ing a current which set in frenecape St. Lucar. It was-
shown that it was possible to' shit. in a great circle part
Of the way, and instead of stopping at longitude 17,1 i
was possible to cross in, and save 700 miles of the dis-
tance. The noble lord then referred to the manner in
which these charts are made ; and concluded by thank-
ing the house for the kindness with which they had
heard him, and stated that he should be happy if he
should have persuaded them that the matter was worthy
of their attention ; for he believed it was the bounden
duty of this country, which had risen to so high a posi-
tion in science and in art, to hold out to them a foster-
ing hand. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) .
Earl GRANVILLE said that the interesting, useful,
and in some parts amusing statement of the noble lord,
fully justified the house in expressing by their cheers,
how unnecessary it was for the noble lord to apologise
for bringing the subject before them. He would, with-
out trespassing at any length on their lordships, endea-
vour to show that his noble friend had not taken a calm
and philosophical view of the proceedings of the Govern-
ment and the Admiralty, with reference to this plan, as
well as of the views entertained by the Government with
regard to the progress of science. With respect to what
had been said by the noble lord of the neglect of a sub-
ject, appeared to him (Lord Granville) connected with
the welfare of all mankind, and more especially of a
nation—a large portion of the inhabitants of which had
devoted themselves to maritime pursuits ; it would be
seen by the papers which had been laid before the house,
that-in furtherance of this .project, a book which had
been received by Lord Palmerston was directed by him
to be sent to Sir John Burgoyne, and which had refer-
ence to the taking of meteorological observations. He
(Lord Granville) received information •on the sub-
ject at the Foreign-office on the 19th February ;
and, five days after, he directed Mr. Addington to write
to Sir John Burgoyne for further information,. in order
to the promotion of the object in view. The matter
then fell into the hands of the late Government, and
although the correspondence did not go on quite so
briskly as was desirable, yet by reading the correspond-
ence, so far as could be gathered from what they had
written, it would appear that it was the desire of' the
Government to promote the subject. Then on coining
to the share which Lord Clarendon had in the matter, it
would be found that 8 days after he had received the
observations of the American Government with regard
to the opinion of the Royal Society, he wrote to the
Treasury, requesting that they would take such steps as
they might think right and proper in order forthwith to
carry out the object in-question. (Hear.) The subject
was now before that department, not a very idle one
just at present, with a view to the carrying out of Lord
Clarendon's report. Several questions were, however,
to be considered. In the first place, the superintend-
ence of the plan and the persons to whom it was to be
referred ; and, there was also another
,point—namely,that there was a qUantity of'val:Uahle matter relating to
the subject deposited in our archivei which was in a
very undigested state, and which it would be desirable
to have digested and arranged. The matter could not
be placed under the control of existing boards, and it
was not desirable to create irresponsible boards for
the purpose. There was- one important considera-
tion, which had been mentioned by his noble friend,
and that was that, except by accident, none of our
officers on board men-of-war possessed the instruments
necessary for making observations of this kind,
and that deficiency was greater still in the merchant
service. He had thus shown that this subject had
received the attention of the Government, and that they
were anxious to give it every possible assistance. His
noble friend had made some remarks of a curious cha-
racter on the alterations which had been made in the
surveys carried on in the navy. He (Lord Granville)
was able to state that no foreign survey had been
stopped, or any home survey suspended, except that
at the mouth of the Thames, which had died a natural
death at the end of twenty years. His noble friend
said that that survey could not be finished on account
of the shifting sands. It was clear that you could not
have a perpetual survey on shifting sands, but it was
the intention of the Government that the survey at the
mouth of the Thames should be continued from time to
time. With regard to the reduction of expense in the
surveys that were to be carried on, that would be effected
by not employing post captains, but substituting for
them masters, who, to the honour of the navy, were
found fully able to carry on the surveys in a competent
manner. He thought it was important both for the in-
terests of the science of the country itself, as well as
with a view to the obtaining of reasonable money grants
from the representatives of the people in the other
house, to show that economy had been observed. (The
noble earl, with reference to this point, quoted a pas-
sage from a speech of Sir J. Herschell, in which lie
urged, in effect, " that economy in asking was as
great
a virtue as economy in granting, and that every pound
too much asked was so much thrown away.") lie (Earl
Granville) fully concurred in that opinion. The British
Association had kept in view the principle of economy
in asking, and in 1836 every application from that so-
ciety and the Royal Society had been cheerfully re-
sponded to by the Government of this country. The
noble earl then referred to an observation of Dr. Whe-
well in regard to the assistance given by Government
in 1842 to the objects of science, and which was to
the effect that, "by that means, an undertaking
had been entered on for a survey of the terrestrial
globe, combined with the operations of a naval
survey and fixed observations in different parts of
the world ; which was a scientific operation far
surpassing anything which had ever been before
attempted, and was such an one as Bacon might have
designed." At a later period Lord J. Russell by one. of
his last acts had granted 1,000/. a year to the council of '
the Royal Society, which had been most fruitful in use-
ful effects, and he believed that the researches of Hoff-
man and others were chiefly owing to that grant. With
regard to the present' Government acting on a sugges-
tion in the report of the Commissioners of the Exhibition
of 1851, they had since they had been in office formed a
scientific branch of the Board of Trade, for which they
had secured the valuable services of Dr. Playfair, with
a view to the promotion of scientific education, and a
sum of 23,0001. a year had been granted for scientific
purposes and for obtaining information from other coun-
tries and from scientific societies in this country. There
was another matter which, though a small one, he
thought would in future have an important effect, and
that was an arrangement which had been made by the
Committee of Education of the Privy Council for fur-
nishing the means to elementary schools of obtaining at
a small expense collections of philosophical instruments.
He could only add with regard to the Government, that
while every consideration was due to eminent men who
devoted their lives to the cause of science, it was the
bounden duty of the Government to give every assist-
ance to improvements in science which were carried on
on the principle which the Government were desirous of
promoting, and yet to avoid doing that which would be
better done by individuals without them, and leaving
minor points to that self-action which had achieved so

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-
sack at five o'clock.
The Earl of LAN ESBOROUGH presented petitions
from places in Leicestershire, against the admission of
Jews into Parliament.
Lord LYNDHURST presented a similar petition from
he University of Cambridge.
The Earl of HARDWICKE presented similar peti-
tions from Reigate and other places, and also a petition
from the farmers of Leicestershire, praying for a repeal
of the malt tax.
Lord ST. LEONARDS presented petitions from five
building societies at Birmingham, against the Registra-
tion of Assurances Bill.
REGISTRATION OF ASSURANCES BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the house
go into committee on this bill.
Lord ST. LEONARDS said that his objections to
the bill were not removed by the observations which had
been introduced in the select committee, but he did not
think it worth while to oppose the present stage. •:
After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and the Mars
quis of SALISBURY, the bill passed through committee.
POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH
AUSTRALIA.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE asked the Government whe-
ther any arrangement had been made for the postal ser-
vice to- Australia, in consequence of the dissolution of
the contract with the Australian Royal Mail Company.
Viscount CANNING said the noble lord had some-
what overstated the deficiency of communication that
existed with Australia in consequence of the termina-
tion of the contract with the Australian Steam Packet
Company. He subsequently observed, which was no
doubt correct, that there was a communication already
secured op alternate months by the overland mail,
branching off a Singapoi.e. That communication-was
undisturbed by the termination of the contract with the
Australian Steam Packet Company, inasmuch as it rested
on the 'Peninsular and Oriental Steam Packet Company,
and he had no- reason to doubt that they would fulfil
their engagement. So tar the communication with the
Australian colonies was secured by the shortest route,
which had at present been employed. In regard to the
supply of another alternate monthly communication in
consequence of the failure of the Australian Steam
Packet Company, he must be allowed to remind their
lordships that upon the accession of her Majesty's pre-
sent Government to office they found, as stated in the
speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer a few nights
ago, that the engagements to which the revenue of this
country was liable to carry on the packet service
amounted to no less than 800,0001. a year. It needs no
argument to show that that sum for the purposes to
which it was applied was enormous. It was time that a
certain amount, he was sorry to say not so large an
amount as they might expect, was returned to the reve-
nue in the shape of postage ; but it was not only the
amount of this sum that weighed on Goveinment, but
it was the fact that the great majority of the contracts
under which these sums were to be paid were contracts
for terms oaring from 7,9, 10, and 11 years. Conse-
quently, unless ,in the case of some such accident as
happened to the Australian Steam Packet Company,
whereby, from the entire failure of the contract the Go-
vernment has it in their power to put an end to it, the
Government must keep up this expenditure for that
number of years. Her Majesty's Government turned'
their attention to the subject, and lost no time in ascer-
taining whether some measure might not be taken
to relieve the revenue from these heavy payments.
While this investigation was being proceeded with, the
opportunity arising from the failure of the Australian
Steam-Packet Company occurred. They thought it
their duty to devise some effective system which would
be more economical, and would satisfy all the wants of
the community both in this country and the colonies.
Having this object in view, her Majesty's Government
determined that it would not be consistent with their
duty to accept any overtures to enter into long contracts
such as that which had just lapsed, and accordingly one
or two offers made on the part of other companies to
take up the lapse of service of the Australian Steam-
Packet Company had not been accepted. The course
which her Majesty's Government thought to pursue was
this—they thought, as in other cases where ships were
employed, so the carriage of the mails by private enter-
prise might be called into requisition. With this view,
it was their intention to issue, by advertisements, invita-
tions to tender to carry one or more mails in alternate
months to the Australian colonies. It was the inten-
tion of Government to prescribe the price which they
were willing to pay for this service, and .the nnly item
on which tenders would be asked from the various com-
mercial and shipping firms who entered into the engage-
ment would be as to the time within which the service
could be performed. It was the intention of Govern-
inent to tie up those who entered into the engagement
with as few stipulations as possible, none indeed except
such as might be necessary for the punctual departure
of the ship, and the safe conveyance of the mails. Sub-
ject to these conditions, the shipping company which
would undertake to perform the voyage in the shortest
time would receive the contract. Whether her Ma-
jesty's Government would enter into a contract for more
than two or three voyages, is a matter which would
depend on circumstances, and which might depend
on the tenders which might be received ; but under
no circumstances would Government at present con-
sent to eater into a long continuous engagement
for a number of years, saddling the revenue with
such heavy sums as were now paid under the present
system of complex contracts. There was no doubt this
was to a certain degree in the nature of an
experiment, and although he felt pretty sanguine of suc-
cess, it was still a possibility that the terms which Go-
vernment might think proper to offer might not be such
as the shipping interest would be disposed to accept,
but if such were the case he anticipated no inconvenience
either to the colonies, or to the mother country, because
the intercourse between England and Australia had
grown so rapidly and become so extensive within the
last few months, that even if the Government were
obliged to resort to the act of Parliament, which enables
them to employ any ship sailing from this country to
convey letters, there was little doubt that there would
be scarcely any inconvenience and delay. In the course
of three months of the present year the number of ves-
sels that had left the English ports for Australia was no
less than 70. a month, many of them having performed
previous voyages at a great rate of speed, and some at a
greater even than steamers. Therefore, if the worst
should arise, and the experiment which Government was
about to make with a view of alleviating the pressure of
the heavy expense in the contracts, there need be no
fear on the part of his noble friend and the public that
any serious inconvenience would arise either to this
country or to Australia.
The Earl of HARD WICKE said it was supposed that
by a system of contracts vessels might be employed which
might be armed in time of war. This induced a larger
kind of vessel to be built by the contractors, but it
turned out that the owners of the vessels had not pre-
pared them for armament, and they were incapable of
being armed. In no instance was there any preparation
made for the arming of these vessels or to see whether
they were capable of bearing such armament. The conse-
quence was, that if it had been thought necessary to arm
them, they would have totally failed. He thought the
great object of these steamers should be not to approach
but escape from ships of war. They should be by no means
armed ships, but should be built for speed and safety. He
did not think as the case now stood that there was any dif-
ficulty in making arrangements for the future. When the
fine was paid the contract was at an end. He believed
the fines altogether would not be more than 200,0001.,
and he believed that by throwing the whole of the con-
tracts up, that amount might be saved the first year.
Earl GREY considered that a great mistake had been
made in not sufficiently reducing the cost at which letters
were sent to the colonies. The charge of one shilling
each letter was so high, that letters were only sent upon
special occasions. If they charged a penny per half-
ounce, the same as in this country, he believed the
freight would amount to about 3001. a ton.
Viscount CANNING said he believed that paying
the fines would by no means relieve the Government of
the contracts. In regard to the reduction of postage, it
should be remembered that the reduction to one penny
in this country had been attended with success, because
of the increased opportunities of sending letters, but that
circumstance did not apply to the colonies, where they
had to deal with ships and steamers, whereas here they
had to deal with railway companies.
In answer to questions from Earl TALBOT,
Viscount CANNING said it was not intended that
they should limit themselves to one route in their com-
munication with Australia. With regard to the second
question, at this moment there was a proposition for the
reduction of the postage with France, from her Majesty's
Government, to which he received no answer, but to
which her Majesty's Government was perfectly willing
to accede if the French Government was willing.
THE ART OF NAVIGATION.
Lohl. WROTTESLEY then rose, in pursuance of
notice, "to direct the attention of the house to a corres-
pondence between the United States Government, her
Majesty's Government, and the Royal Society, in re-
ference to a comprehensive scheme for improving the
art of navigation, in which the United States Go-
vernment have requested the co-operation of her Ma-
jesty's Government." He said the plan he had in

the heyday of inconsiderate Self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be remove!,

that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely Aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and a the only legally qualified rhysician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of thehypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply
rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment' of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serous injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Martin. A young female, the wife of ama
respectable situation, had become enamoured of young
shopman and was induced by his solicitations to a
a
promise
to meet him at his lodgings, in a room on the fifth floor.
Her husband having obtained information of the
connection proceeded to the lodgings of the shopman
and knocked at the door. Not getting an immediate
answer, he began to kick at the door in order to break
it open. The female recognised the voice of her
husband, and in her anxiety to escape detection knotted
the sheets of the bed together, and began to let herself
down from the window. The sheets, however, were
not long enough to enable her to descend far, and there
she hung at a fearful distance from the ground, while a
crowd assembled in the street expecting every moment
to see her fall. Fortunately her feet touched the balcony
of the third floor, and she was taken in by the persons
occupying it and thus saved from a frightful death.
The Manchester police, following the successful ex-
ample of the force in Liverpool, have memorialised the
watch committee of the city council for an increase of
wages, and their memorials are now, we understand,
under consideration. The force comprises 400 men, ar-
ranged in four divisions, designated by the first four let.
tern in the alphabet.

ue promoters of this motion was the subversion of the na-
donal system.
.There was nothing, he said, in the original
inetenetimas to make Scriptural extracts part of the secular
system of education in the national schools. If any QOM-
plaint were made against any individual school, or -any
number of schools, it should occasion the. most rigid in-
quiry. The system was opposed by the majority of the
clergy of the Established Church, and by a diminishing
number of the gentry belonging to it ; and he would speak
of their scruples with all respect, but could not admit that
they made a claim for toleration, but rather the reverse.
The Roman Catholics had a conscientious objection to the
use of the Scriptures, without note or comment, by
