WAYS AND MEANS.

Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate ou Amendment
proposed to Question [Feb. 20], " That Mr. Speaker do now
leave the Chair ;" and which Amendment was, to leave out

MPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE Or LORDS-4Thie Evening.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon t'ae wool-
sack at four o'clock, at which time the house presented
a very animatecl appearance. The sace before the
throne was crowded, and the galleries atp each side were
also very fully attended by ladies. A large number of
the members of the House of Commons were present.
Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, occupied a seat in
the peeresses gallery.
Lord SAYE and SELE presented a petition from
Hereford, deprecating the bombardment of Canton and
the t-xpedition to Persia, and praying that the house
would exercise a proper control over the foreign policy
of the Government.
ROYAL MARINE FORCE BILL.

On the motion of Earl GRANVILLE, this bill was
read a third time.
OUR RELATIONS WITH CHINA.

The Earl of DERBY rose to move the following reso-
lutions :-Ist, That this house has heard with deep re-
gret the interruption of amicable relations between her
Majesty's subjects and the Chinese authorities at Can-
ton, arising out of the measures adopted by her Ma-
jesty'sfoCr an a
Chief
Superintendent of Trade to obtain repara-
tionlleged infraction of the supplementary
treaty of Bth October, 1843 ; 2d, That in the opinion
of this house the occurrence of differences upon
this subject rendered the time peculiarly unfavourable
for pressing upon the Chinese authorities a claim for the
admittance of British subjects into Canton, which had
849, and for supporting the
mThat in the opinion of this
h
dl'
hostility ought not to have
been
the empress instructions, pre-
saeo been
se e left
undertakenb operationsy force in abeyance
of
to
without
acme
actual-3
vion,ly received, of her Majesty's Government ; and that
neither of the subjects adverted to in the fore-
g )ing resolutions afforded sufficient justification
for such operations." The noble lord having
presented a petitition from Manchester, deprecating
the war, proceded to say that he was now. about
to address the highest assembly in the world. He
trusted that every one of their lordships would approach
this subject in a purely judicial manner, and would look
upon it only in reference to considerations of equity, of
justice, and of humanity. Above all, he trusted that
they would dismiss from their minds every feeling in the
slightest degree connected with party or sectarian poli-
tics. He confessed be stood there as an advocate—an
advocate, however, upon theiconviction of thej ustiee of the
cause he was there to defend he was certainly an unpaid
advocate, an advocate in the cause of polity, of justice,
and of humanity, (Hear, hear.) It did not in the
slightest degree deter him, the consideration of
being obliged to submit this case to the justice of an
English audience. (Hear, hear.) Nor was he
daunted by the feeling that he Wai obliged to draw
his argument from statements and documents
furnished by those very psrties whose conduct he was
about to arraign. It must be recollected for a great num-
ber of years this country had carried on a trade with
China, and which had been brought to a termination by
the tyrannical proceedings that had taken place at Can-
ton. The noble lord then proceeded to detail the whole
of the proceedings oonneolood" ith, ara '4oialure pf -the
Arrow, the, bombardment of Canton, and the great de-
struotion of life that had taken place, and contended that
the whole proceedings were a complete violation of the
treaty entered into in the year 1845. He was utterly
at a loss to conceive how the Chinese lorcha Arrow
could be changed into a British vessel. It, was built
by Chinese, owned by Chinese, manned by Chinese, and
it these things did not constitute a Chinese vessel, he
would like to know what did. If the Arrow was a
Chinese vessel every title of justific..tion of the seizure
fell to the ground.

CONSTITUTION HILL.
Mr. MA.CA.RTNEY asked the Chief Commissioner
of Works whether there would be any objection to re-
build the wall lately pulled down in Grosvenor-place so
as to correspond with the portion standing next Consti-
tution-hill, and place a railing thereon up to the door-
way into the park
Sir B. HALL said that he proposed to rebuild the
wail in the same style and manner as it was before. The
only objection he had heard to it was that of `a gentle.
man who lived opposite, and wished to have it rebuilt as
suggested in the question. He (Sir B. Hall) had no ob-
jection to it if the gentleman would pay 3001., the dif-
ference in the cost of construction.
LAND 'TRANSPORT CORPS.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that on this day
fortnight he should c the attention of the house t) the
cause of grievance contained in the petitions presented
to this house of the Land Transport Corps, and that it
be referred to a Select Committee. .
VOTE BY BALLOT.
Mr. H. BERKLEY gave notice that, shortly after
Master, he should call the attention of the First Lord of
the Treasury to the necessity of protecting electors at
the poll.
LAND TRANSPORT CORPS.
Sir J. FEIIGUSSON gave notice that he should,
at an early day, call the attention of the house to the
condition of the officers of the Land Transport Corps.
THE INCOME-TAX.
Mr. HEA.DL AM gave notice that he should on an
early day propose a resolution that the income tax
should not be continued for more than another year,
and that it should be left to Parliament to consider whe-
ther it should be continued after that time. He should
move a similar motion in ways and means.
THE TEA. DUTIES.
Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that in committee
of ways and means he should move in the place of the
CHIEF
from CONSTABLES.
p AL
Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposal, that the tea
duties should be fixed at Is. 41. in the pound for the next
three years, and that then it be reduced to Is, in the
pound. (Hear, hear.)
repIyGREY to
a questionsaid that a magistrate could hold the
offilBcnier G.
of chief constable in his own county.
CIVIL SERVICE—INDIA.
Mr. DEASY asked the President of the Board of
Control, whether any reduction had taken place or was
contemplated in the number of appointments in the Civil
Service in India open to public competition !
Mr. V. SMITH said that no reduction could take
place in the number of the appointments referred to, nor
was it contemplated. The number of officers was fixed
by act of Parliament, and they could only be filled up
from deaths or removals.
THE LAWS RELATING TO MASTER AND
SERVANT.
Mr. PELLATT wished to ask the Atterney-General
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to bring in a bill to consolidate the Statute Laws
relating to masters and servants, and to masters and
workmen.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the acts re-
lating to masters and workmen had been consolidated
by the Statute Law Commission, and the bill was now
under revision of that body. It would shortly be
brought in and laid on the table of the house, and lr
was not aware that it was the intention of her Majesty
Government to introduce ahy other measure.
Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE asked the Attorney-Gene-
ral whether her Majesty's Ministers would object to
institute an inquiry (by a committee of this house
bor
otherwise) into the means by which the distinction
d ee:
tween suits at I%w and in equity, which had been reca9e

from jurisptudcneo of the T.Juitud States, may be abo-
?
The ATTORNEY-GENERA". said that he should
be exceedingly glad to promote any inquiry likely to
terminate in the result of abolishing the technical dis-
tinctions which now existed between suits at law and
suits at cqoity—(hear, hear) —which he looked upon
a:4 the fouinlaiion atone of any effects 1 reform of our
jurisprudence. The Government did ant fit lieva this was
a subject that could be properly considered in a commit-
tee of this house. , The question mentioned "a commit-
tee or otherwise," and he had to state that the Govern-
ment had the question of a public department of pullic
justice, which, if established, weal be a fitting depart-
ment to refer this question for consideration. ([lean.)
