IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tuts DAT.)

Tho SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
EAST INDIA COUNCIL AND HIGH COURTS

OF JUDICATURE BILL.

On the motion that the house go into committee,
Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY asked whether the right hon.
gentleman opposite could give him any iiiformation as to
the change this bill would lead to in the revenues of India ?
Mr. M. GIBSON said he could not, as he had been asked
by his hon. friend the Secretary for India, merely to move
the resolution which he held in his hand, as a matter of
form.

Sir H. 'WILLOUGHBY said it was necessary that the
greatest care should be taken of the finances and revenue
of India. This bill contained two new appointments
of members to Council, which would cost £B,OOO
each. (Hear.) As the appointments would be made
in this country that would be an addition to the patronage
of the Secretary for India. Then, again, the number of
judges was increased from 14 to 21; all this would be fresh
charges, and as he felt it his duty, as far as possible, to use
his best exertions to protect the revenues of India, he should
move some amendments when the house was in committee
on the bill.

Tho house then went into committee, and a resolution
was passed on which to found a clause relative to salaries
and compensation.

THE HARBOURS BILL.

On tho moth,rl that. tho Speaker leave the chair,
Mr. LINDSEY said before the Speaker left the chair
he wished to make some observations with respect to this
bill. The object of the bill was to enable loans being made
for the purpose of constructing harbours, the abolition of
passing tolls, for charitable purposes, and other differential
dues. Now, with respect to the abolition of passing tolls
he could have no objection, but an hon. member had given
notice that he intended to move that the bill be referred to
a select committee, but he must beg of the hon. member to
withdraw his motion as that subject had been decided over
and over again. The bill had been very much altered since
it first made its appearance in the house, and thought the
utmost care should be exercised before the bill was passed
a further stage because the amounts of certain sums of
money to be paid to various places had been gaeatly in•
creased, and that without the slightest cause being shown
for what the money was required. He also found that there
were also other clauses, Nos. 32 and 42, which would
enable the Board of Trade to sell harbours to private corn •
panics. Ramsgate Harbour, for instance, upon which up-
wards of £2,000,000 had been expended, could be disposed
of by that department if tho bill passed through comr
mittee as it stood. Then, again, Hull, Newcastle,
and Liverpool had been dealt with most par-
tially by the bill, and although he agreed with
the principle of the measure, he should feel it his duty to
move several amendments to many of the clauses as they
come under the consideration of the house.
Mr. THOMPSON moved that the bill be referred to a
select committee. He thought it was unwise to abolish
passing tolls without providing a substitute, and also that
the measure would have the effect of destroying many of
the Harbours of Refuge. For these reasons he could net
assent to the motion for going into committee.
Mr. DEEDES seconded the motion.
On the question being put by the SPEAKER,
Mr. CAYLEY hoped the hon. gentleman would not per-
severe with his motion for referring the vote to a select
committee
Mr. DEEDES said he supported the proposition for re-
ferring the bill to a select committee because that course
would enable private parties whose interests were seriously
interfered with to place their grievances and claims before
such a tribunal. The Dover Harbour Commissioners felt
that their interests were severely affected by the bill. If
the measure was referred to a select committee the authori-
ties at Dover could place their claims before the committee.
If they failed 10 convince them of the justice of their com-
plaints he of course had nothing to do. The bill proposed
to abolish the payment of passing tolls after Jan., 1862, but
he thought that while that was laid down in the bill some
arrangements ought to be made for the extinction of debt of
the Dover Harbour Commissioners.

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH BURGLARS:A
diabolical attempt to kill a policeman was perpetrated at an
early hour on Saturday morning, in Congleton, and the
circumstances that led to the affray aro somewhat singular.
It appears that Police-constable Walter Taylor, of the
Congleton borough police force, in company with another
officer, named Stanley, fell in with a drunken man, whom
they took to his house in Rood-lane. When they reached
the man's house, between one and two o'clock on Saturday
morning, they found the man's son and his wife awaiting
his return. The son went out to fetch a pot of porter, and
being absent rather longer than his wife thought necessary,
she went in quest of him. As soon as she got out of the
house she saw two men jumping over some rails enclosing
a silk factory. She at once drew Taylor's attention to them,
and that officer ran up alone and collared one of them. By
this time they had got a considerable distance from the
house where Stanley was. A desperate struggle ensued be-
tween the two burglars and Taylor; unfortunately the latter
could not make his staff available, and in attempting to se-
cure one of them, the other approached him with a large
open clasp-knife, and stabbed him several times in the
body. Stanley came up just in time to hear him say, "I'm
stabbed ! I'm dying I" He was caught in his fellow-officer's
arms, and cons eyed, bleeding profusely, into Mr. Slater's
house. The two thieves made their escape. Several medi-
cal gentlemen were called in, and Taylor's case was at once
pronounced hopeless. Some of the stabs have penetrated
the lungs, whilst others are of such a magnitude and
severity as to make it a matter of wonder that he did not
die on the spot. There are seven separate wounds, two of
them of a very dangerous nature. Five men have since
been apprehended on suspicion. Meanwhile, it was found
that the silk factory of Mr. Barton, in Rood-lane, near the
place where the affray took place, had been broken into, and
two bundles of silk stolen, one of which was picked up near
the spot where poor Taylor received his wounds. The in-
jured officer has not been able to look at any of the men at
present, and such was his precarious condition on Saturday
that the town-clerk and a magistrate deemed ;4-
to take his depo.;"-i°4
camiutTS ACCIDENT AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
Last evening an accident, likely to terminate fatally, oc-
curred to one of the workmen employed in fixing the rope
across the lake, over which M. Blondin is to take hip
perilous walk to-day. The task of fixing the rope having
been completed, one of the men ventured some distance along
the rope to reach a piece of wood used in the operation that
had been left suspended, which having obtained possession
of he endeavoured to retrace his steps. To do this it be-
came necessary to turn himself round, and either from
giddiness or some
nmieotfhaellrincgauhseecinaugdhotinwgitthhis
his he slipped
and
doffd
the rope, which
hung for some time suspended in the air at an altitude of
nearly 100 feet, crying loudly for help. The rope being
about seven inches in circumference, it became evident to
the horrified spectators that being unable to grasp it he must
ultimately fall. The cries of the assembled crowd were
terrific, as there were no possible means by which the man
could be released from his dreadful position. After being
suspended in this way for some minutes he was compelled
to relax his hold, and fell on to the gravel walk below.
Assistance was immediately rendered, when it was found he
was insensible, having sustained a severe fracture of the
spine and other injuries, the nature of which, in the con-
fusion that prevailed, it was impossible to ascertain. He
was bled on the spot by a surgeon who happened to be pre-
sent, after which he was conveyed with all possible speed to
St. Thomas's Hospital. At a late hour last night but little
hope was entertained of his recovery.
STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION.--On Saturday evening
last a fatal accident occurred at Bristol. The river steam-
tug Alarm was lying, at half-past five o'clock, under the
bow of the West Indiaman Minerva, when those on board
the latter vessel were alarmed by a tremendous noise.
They saw, at the same time, the various parts of the steamer
blown into the air. One fragment was projected over the
funnel of a large steamer, the Pioneer, and fell upon a
warehouse at Radcliffe Wharf, destroying about 50 square
feet of shedding. There were four men and a boy on board
' when the accident took place. The boy was at the time
below, and went down with the hull; his body has not yet
been recovered. The men were on deck; they were thrown
to a considerable distance from the vessel, but alighted in
