THE INDEMNITY ACT.

Mr. BAINES (on behalf of Mr. Hadfield) asked the
Secretary of State for tho Home Department whether, as
the Parliamentary Oaths Amendment Bill had been
passed, and the Qualification for Offices Abolition Bill
having passed both Houses of Parliament, he would
consider it necessary, in this or an) future session to bring
in a yearly Indemnity Bill ; or whether he considered such
Indemnity Bill would be unnecessary when the Royal As-
sent is obtained to the Qualification for Offices Abolition
Bill?

Sir G. GREY said the chief necessity for the introduc-
tion of the annual Indemnity Bill had beea superseded by
the passing of the Qualification for Offices Bill. There
were, however, some offices which required the taking of
an oath, and before the act was done away with it would
be necessary to make full inquiry into all those cases.

done more credit to themselves if they had been just be-
fore being generous.

Bouverie, of his intention to move that the Redistribution
of Seats bill should he, referred to the same committee as
the Representation of the People Bill, in order that the

The CHANCIELLOV, of the EXCHEQUER said the Go-
vernment intended to h' ecede to the suggestion of Mr.
Bouverie.
The bill was then r.c:ad a second time, and the committee
fixed for Monday, the 'z'Bth inst.
The orders of the day _for the second reading of the Re-
presentation of the People (Scotland) Bill and the Repre-
sentation of the People (Ireland) )3111, which stood next on

That they shall take who have the power,
And they shall keep who can."
His own opinion was that the Government would have
done more credit to themselves if they had beon just be-
fore being generous.
After some observations from Mr. J. HARDY and Mr.
DUTTON,
Sir S. NORTHCOTE, referring to a notice given by Mr
Bouverie, of his intention to move that the Redistribution
of Seats bill should be referred to the same committee 54
the Representation of the People Bill, in order that the
committee should make both bills into one, asked what the
Government proposed to do in the matter.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Go-
vernment intended to accede to the suggestion of 3fr•
Bouverie.

The bill was then read a second time, and the committee
fixed for Monday, the 28th inst.
The orders of the day for the second reading of thee'
presentation of the People (Scotland) Bill and the Repre
sentation of the People (Ireland) 8.11, which stood next on
the paper, were then passed over.
The Crown Lands Bill was read a third time and
The Companies Act (1862) Amendment Bill, and the Pier
and Harbour Orders Confirmation Bill, and the Court of
Chancery (Ireland) Bill were read a second time.
The Convicts' Property Bill was read a third time and
passed. passed.

The Life Insurance (Ireland) Bill, the Landed PropertY
Improvement (Ireland) Bill, and the Grand Juries Present"
ment (Ireland) Bill were read a third time and passed.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND obtained
leave to bring in a bill to authorise the Town Council of
Belfast to levy and pay charges in respect of extra COU"
stabulary.

Sir S. NORTHCOTE, in the absence of Col. Taylor,
moved for a new writ for the borough of Devonport in
the room of Mr. Fleming and' Mr. Ferrand, unseated on
petition. Agreed to.
The house then adjourned.

PUBLIC DEBT.

I here give you a few figures to show the present
financial position of the United States. In round
numbers the debt is now 3,000 millions of dol-
lars, and the interest on this debt will amount to
about 165 millions of dollars annually. The esti-
mated revenue of the country, ending June next, is
about 400 millions of dollars. There will, therefore,
be 235 millions of dollars in excess of the interest
London, England, 1866-03-17

RESPECT FOR LAW.

In estimating the character of the American peo-
ple it is important to notice the fact that they are a
law-abiding and law-respecting people. They are
not, as a rule, inclined to revolution or riot. The
only section of the people that have ever appealed
to brute force has been the pro-slavery party, and
they appealed to force because they could not with
any chance of success appeal to anything else. But
that day has passed away, and a brighter and better
day has dawned upon America. Henceforth, rela-
tive to all change that experience may suggest in the
government of the country the appeal will be to
reason, to the constitution, and to law. Did you
not see even while the war was at its height how
anxious the people of the North were that the world
should see that all they did was in accordance with
the laws and constitution of their country ? and how
carefully they guarded, and how jealously they
watched every infringement of their liberty? and.

how determined they were that the moment the
war was over, the President and the Executive
should give back to the people the powers with
which they had been entrusted for the purpose of
carrying on the war ? No country can grow, and
no country can prosper, where there is not a desire
on the part of the people to obey the laws, and to
seek reform and improvement only in a constitu-
tional and legal way.

The Grand Military Gold Cup, run for at War-
wick Grand Military Steeplechases yesterday, the
16th inst., and won by Captain Johnstoue's fronsides,
ridden by Col. Knox, consists of a tazza-shaped vase and
cover, remarkable for its truly artistic shape and propor-
tion. A very gracefully designed and elegant stem sup-
ports the body of the vase, around which are executed in
richly chased in alto-relief some charming groups of fruit
and flowers. Around the cover are four medallions, in
each of which, in repouss6 work, is one of the late Mr.
Herring's well-known racing subjects of "Saddling,"
"The Finish," and the "Paddock," ezc. The whole
is surmounted by a finely modelled horse and jockey.
This " objet d'art" was designed and manufactured
by Messrs. C. F. Hancock, Son, and Co., of Bruton-
street, Bond street, and like all their productions is full of
genuine artistic feeling in design, and excellence in work-
manship. They are much to be commended in having
returned to the example set by the old Italian metal
workers in treating it in the manner known as " Parcel
Gilding," which consists of laying on the chased and
raised parts a layer of dead gold, and leaving the bright
portions in plain silver. This produces a very pleasing
effect, and at the same time preserves the artist's labour
from injury.

Last evening about 8 o'clock a large floor-cloth
manufactory in Kennington-lane caught fire, and
being stored with inflammable materials was speedily in
a blaze, causing much alarm in the immediate neighbour-
hood. The flames shot up into the air, lighting up for some
time the whole southern districts of the metropolis, and
crowds of people made for the spot. The fire was seen from
t%e head-quarters of the fire brigade before any alarm was
carried there, and Captain Shaw, with about 60 men and all
the available engines of the establishment, arrived promptly
and rendered such assistance in the emergency as only
experience and skill can afford on such occasions. By 12
o'clock last night the captain and his men had not returned
to their quarters, but by that time the fire was probably
under control, as little or no flame was visible from a dis-
tance after 9 o'clock.

EMIGRATION TO QUEENSLAND.—The ship Wans-
fell, of the Black Ball line of packets, Captain Reynolds,
arrived in the Southampton Docks on Monday evening
from London, to embark emigrants, and will sail thence
to-day (Saturday) for Brisbane. She has taken on board
at Southampton 288 emigrants, consisting of 16 married
couples, 110 single women, 133 single men, and 20 children.

Mr. TAYLOR moved for returns of the number of men

land in the years 1863, 1864, and 1865 respectively, specify-
ing the offence, the regiment, the place of station, whether
at home, in India, or the colonies, the sentence, and the

The return was'ordered.
METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.

Mr. COWPER gave notice that ou Monday he should
move that the Thames Embankment Approaches Bill and
the Park-lane Improvement Bill be referred to a selec t
committee of 12 members.
THE WAR IN CHILI.

Mr. H. SE UWIN asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether any communication had been
made by the Foreign office to the representatives in this
country of the Spanish Government, as well as to those of
Chili and Peru, with reference to any vessels of war which
their respective Governments might be building in English
yards ; and further what replies, if any, had been received ?
Mr. LAYARD said her Majesty's Government had been
in communication with the representatives of Spain,
Chili, and Peru, and an assurance had been given that no
ships of war that might be in England at that time would
leave the port during the existence of the war, and no
such vessels had left. The Chilian Minister had further in-
formed the Government that no attempt would be made
on the part of his Government to secretly arrange the de-
parture of any vessel of war ; on the contrary, it was
the desire of the Chilian Government to conform in all re-
spects to the law of this country.

WESTMINSTER.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—John Arthur Bright, a de-
cently-attired young man, whose head was enveloped in
bandages, and whose face and clothes were smothered
in blood, was charged with being drunk and riotous, and
assaulting Jesse Fowler, 269 B.
Jesse Fowler said, at a quarter to 3 that morning he was
called to Regent Music Hall, Regent-street, Westminster,
and went to quell a disturbance. In a back room he found
the prisoner, three other men, and a woman. The pri-
soner was frightfully cut about the head, was in his shirt
sleeves, and was smothered in blood. They were quarrel-
ling and fighting. He sent for the landlord, and Mr. H. F.
Margetts, the proprietor, came. All four rushed at him,
and he retreated ; he came back again and charged the
prisoner with stealing a purse, containing a sovereign, and
16s. in silver, from the barmaid. With the assistance of
two other constables he took prisoner to 'he station.
As soon as they got into the station the prisoner twice
ran at witness and assaulted him, and as no one came from
the Regent to press the charge, he was charged with the
assault.

Tho witness was cross-examined at length by Mr. Louis
Lewis, of Ely-place, for the prisoner. He didn't complain
on the way to the station that he had been kicked by the
constables.

O'Shea, 156 B, corroborated the constable as to the as-
sault. He complained at the station that Mr. Margett had
assaulted him.

Sergeant Cozens, 28 B, also bore witness to what took
place in the house.
The magistrate ordered Mr. Margetts and his waiter to be
sent for, as Mr. Lewis applied for butunionses against them
for assaulting this man in a room by himself.
A lady also appeared to prefer a charge of assault against
Mr. Margetts.
The case was put back for his attendance.

CLIMATE AND PRODUCTIONS.

There is another point to be considered in esti-
mating the resources of America namely, the
wonderful variety of climate and productive power
of the country. America has such a variety of
natural productions that she could live within her-
self, even if shut out from all the rest of the world.
Over an area so vast that it stretches one-eighth of
the distance round the globe, it is natural to expect
that the climate will vary in different parts ; and
hence we find that while the South produces cotton,
sugar, and fruits in abundance, the Central States
can grow corn and wheat to almost any extent ; and
while the North can produce timber, metals, and
other necessaries, it is manifest that a country with
such resources must progress. I see that good tea
is now being grown in the State of Georgia ; and
the fact is, the climate and variety of soil in
America will enable them to produce almost every-
thing they need. I have already remarked upon
its great corn and meat-producing districts. In our
present scarcity of meat it may be interesting to
know that in the Western States they produce
millions of hogs. They have the most scientific
way of killing and packing them that ever I saw,
and it is all done by machinery. They kill four
hogs a minute, and within twenty minutes from the
time you first hear the pig express his displeasure
at what is going to happen, he is killed, cut up,
salted, packed, and on his way to Europe. (Laughter.)
It is 'also worthy of note that though America is a
vast continent, and has all the advantages of a
variety of climate and an endless variety of natural
productions, yet she also has the great advantage of
isolation and separation from all the complications
of foreign entanglements. You will not fail to
have noticed that most of our wars, and the great-
est portion of our national debt, have been incurred,
not in defending our shores from invasion, not in
struggles to preserve our national existence, but in
foreign entanglements, with which, in the main, we
have had nothing to do. America, free from all
these alliances which have caused us the expenditure
of so much blood and treasure; is able to follow out
the teaching of her great Father and Founder—
" Commercial treaties with all ; entangling alliances
with none "—and with the exception of some little
difficulty with the French Emperor relative to
Mexico, which, I have no doubt, Napoleon will get
over with his usual good sense, by withdrawing his
troops ; and also with the exception of some little
controversy relative to Canada, they are free from
foreign complications and engagements. This is
an important point to notice in estimating the re-
sources of any country, and I beg you to remember
it in estimating the resources of the United States of
America.

THE PRISONERS IN ABYSSINIA.

A telegram has been received at the Foreign-office
from Alexandria, stating that Mr. Rassam arrived
on January 4th at Bulwoka, about 50 miles west
of Gondar, having received during his journey the
kindest treatment from the chiefs of the districts
through which he passed after leaving Watemna.
News had been received of the prisoners up to the
27th December.

The King of Abyssinia was believed to be at
Gondar, and had sent an escort of troops and means
of transport to Mr. Rassam.
