PETITIONS.
Several petitions were presented against the Census Bill,
so far as related to the profession of religious doctrines;
against the Highways Bill; against the Sunday Trading
81l ; against the alleged aggression of the Lords in respect
to the Duty on Paper Bill, and praying the house to vin-
dicate its privileges.
THE REPEAL OF THE PAPER DUTY.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that to-morrow, when
the Prime Minister brought forward the resolutions relit-
ing to the Paper Duty Bill, he would move, as an addition
to such resolutions, that an humble address be presented to
her most gracious Majesty humbly praying that she will not
prologue Parliament until a bill for the repeal of the excise
duty on paper has been submitted to her for her assent.
(Hear, bear, and laughter.) The hon. member also inquired
of the Home Secretary whether it was intended by the Prime
Minister to move the resolutions seriatim, Or whether he
would submit the three resolutions to the house together
2k I I for the consideration of hon. members.

Sir G. LEWIS said that he believed the practice was to
propose resolutions of this character seriatim, and he sup-
posed his noble colleague would adopt that course.
CHURCH RATES LAW AMENDMENT.
On the order of the day for the second reading of this
bill,
Mr. HUBBARD explained at some length the provi-
sions of the measure, which was not calculated to interfere
with the conscientious convictions of Dissenters, though it
does not go the same length that some hon. members advo-
cated, or the views entertained by those who were desirous
of a severance between Church and State. The bill affixed
no stigma on Dissenters, but he considered that some pro-
visions were necessary in order to render the object of the
act mom clear. He was convinced that the bill would
work satisfactorily, but at this advanced stage of the ses-
sion it could not be expected to pass through both houses.
Under these circumstances he would move that the order
of the day for the second reading should be discharged, but
he pledged himself that if Government, or some influential
member of the house did not like the subject he would in-
troduce a bill on the question next session. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. D. GRIFFITH objected to postponing legislating
on this subject.
Ultimately the motion was agreed to, and the order of
the day for the second reading of the bill was discharged.
HIGHWAYS DILL.

Sir G. LEWIS moved thesecond--reaaing of this bill.
Mr. HODKIN SON moved as an amendment that the
bill be read a second time that day three months, He
drew attention to the unpopularity of the measure, as
indicated by the number of petitions presented
against it since its introduction. One of the
reasons, no doubt, why the Government proposed this bill
was, that several roads in the country were inbad repair ;
but he did not cotsider that a large board would be better
calculated to carry out the ptotess of road-making than sur-
veyors, who were chosen every year by, the rate-payers.
They were generally the parties most using the roads, and
most interested in keeping them in repair ; while they were
usually selected from the longest rate-payers. By the plan
proposed in this bill for the present system, to establish
whichurveyors, paid treasurers and paid clerks, all of
situations were to 'be held by different
individuals these boards would require a place
for meeting like the Metropolitan Board, and then they
would place themselves in communication with the Secre-
tary of State. In all probability they would ultimately
have a Highway Board sitting in London, and analosons
to the Poor Law Board, and the result wouldbe to increase
the expenditure of rate,payers. In adverting again to the
unpopularity of the bill, he said that no less than 360 peti-
tions had been presented against the bill, which were
signed by 26,000 rate-peyote, which, however, did not
represent the aggregate of thoeo opposed to the bill,
because in many cases the petitions were merely
signed by the chairman of different boards through-
out the country. He also strongly objected to
the principle of the bill, as it was calculated to affect the
impartiality of magistrates, who would be one day prosecu-
tors, and the next judges trying offenders whom they had
prosecuted. The hon. member referred to tloUth Wales,
where the principle of this bill was in operation, and which
gave considerable dissatisfaction. The tolls on turnpike
roads amounted to more than the conveyance by railways,
and in some instances as much as MO a mile had been ex-
pended in keeping the roads in repair ; and in 1856 no less
than £2,149,733 had been laid out on these roads through-
out the country.
Mr. HER SEYMER supported the bill, and referred to
an opinion expressed by the late Sir Robert Peel in 1846,
who proposed to introduce a measure on the subject con-
taining the same principle as this bill relative to district
boards and paid surveyors. That sagacious statesman said
them were no less than 16,000 different local authorities
connected with the management of highways, which, he
contended, was injurious to the interests of the agricultural
classes, with whom good roads was a matter of the greatest
importance.
Mr. FREELAND opposed the bill, which, he contended,
would increase the burthens of the rate-payers. Besides,
the measure would place magistrates in situations inwhich
they might be suspected, as their interests might be different
to those of the rate payers.
Mr. KNIGHT did not expect that the bill would have
been persevered with, and though he entertained many ob-
jections to the measure he did not recollect them at that
moment, and therefore he would not detain the house at
any length. He believed that the roads in England were
not in a bad condition, and they were far superior to any
Ho concluded by urging on the Home
other in Europe.
Secretary not top ress the bill, which was unpopular, at so
advanced a period of the session.
Mr. DEEDES said that the present system with regard
to the repairs of roads was the worst that could exist, and
an alteration was imperatively required. He approved of
the bill, though he thought it might be improved in com-
mittee.
After a few words from Cclonel TIIOSIPSON in favour of
the bill,
- Mr, 13ARBOW supported the amendment, and said that
