We are glad to find that the statement that has appeared in
the columns of most of our contemporaries, that difficulties have
arisen in the appointment of qualified persons, in the Dutch
colonies, to certify the growth of sugars, the produce of free
labour, imported into this country, at the re-
duced rate of duty as contained in the new
Sugar Bill, is without foundation. This was eli-
cited by a question put by Mr. Labouchere in the House of
Commons last night, to which Mr. Gladstone replied that par-
ties duly qualified to give certificates of origin as to sugars ex-
ported from the Dutch East India Colonies had been ap-
pointed.
There are not any late Colonial arrivals this morning.

SALE OF FOSSIL REMAlNS.—Thursday afternoon
the above sale took place at the auction-rooms of Messrs.
J. C. and S. Stevens, King-street, Covent-garden. The col-
lection was the last that had been formed by Mr. Hawkins, a
gentleman not only well known for his researches in geo-
logy, but as having supplied the British Museum with a
valuable collection of remains, similar, though highly supe-
rior, to those disposed of at the present sale. The prin-
cipal lots and their prices were as follows :—A magnificent
specimen of plesiosaurus, measuring six feet two inches long
by three feet five inches wide, in a strong oak case, 501. Bs. ;
a specimen, showing various portions of the ichthyosaurus,
seven feet long by four feet wide, 6!.105. ; another specimen
of the ichthyosaurus, nearly perfect, Si. ss. ; head and verte-
bra of an ichthyosaurus, six feet six inches long by two feet
five inches wide, in oak case, 5/. ; another specimen, showing
head, one paddle, and various, bones, five feet eleven inches
by two feet one inch, 9/. 10s. Most of the above, jots were
purchased by members of the Geological §ociety.

CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS BILL.
Mr. GitaAk hiought up the report upon this NH.
On the motion thdt the airtendments of the Committee
be agreed to,
Mr. V. SMITH said this Bill contained th same
error Which plrvaded all former Bills on this subject—
namely, that of cotititiering controverted elections as a
matter between two contending parties, and not as a
matter affecting the public generally. Ile regretted
that thd fitimber of Members on Committee§ on Contro-
verted elections had Iten fixed at five. He thatight it
would have been much moi' tOnvonient to have made
three the number of Members to be th'i these Commit
tees: Ho thought that some means ought to be, adopted
W lirnit the expEits9 of conducting an opposition to a pe-
tition: 4 the present constitution of the bar for election
Committeeo, that bar. Was very 'United, and the conse-
quence was, that one eminent counsel wa§ frequently
engaued on half-a-dozen Cdttledittees at d once. Ile e
a speech in one Committee and then fan Off to another,
and the consequence was, that a number of junior counsel
were engaged to conduct the other parts of the ease.
Although this Bill oil cied a slight improvement, yet he
could not support the principle tipon which it was founded.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET did not see why
the services of an eminent counsel should be confined to
one Committee. Although the Right Hon. Gentleman
had objected to this Bill, yet he bad suggested nothing
in its place.
The amendments were then agreed td.
SAVINGS BANKS BILL.

On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Mr. HtThlE et:implanted that uniformity had not been
observed in this Bill with respect to the payment of in-
terest on deposits. He also complained that tho original
intentioii 'With respect to the establishment of sayings'
banks had not beett carried out. Savings' lottiks were
established for the benefit of the working classes, butt
persons of all descriptions had bean allowed to become

depositors in savings' banks. He complained of the
amount of salaries to persons employed as managers and
clerks in the savings banks of the country. Many
abuses had crept into our system of savings-banks, and
he was sorry to find that the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer had not endeavoured to, remedy them. Pro-
bably—and no doubt this was the ease—the Chancellor
was ignorant of the existence of these abuses ; but he
(Mr. Hume) assured him that he had paid a great deal
of attention to the subject, and he had discovered many
abuses which ought to be remedied as early as possible.
He was anxious to check the practice of persons of the
better classes being allowed to become depositors.
These persons were allowed to deposit 201. or 30/., and
receive interest upon it at once, whilst the poor man,
who deposited his few shillings at a time, received no
interest until his deposits had reached a certain suin in
the aggregate. _ _

311:j.-I)ARBY thought this Bill would prove very
beneficial

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed
in much that had fallen from the Hon. Member for Mon-
trose, but it should be recollected that Parliament had
not originated savings' banks. It had, however, given
encouragement to them when they were once formed,
and had conferred upon them a degree of security which
they had not before possessed. There were two great
abuses which were likely to arise in connection with
savings' banks. The first was, that the high rate of
interest would hold out an inducement to per-
sons to deposit moneys in those banks, for
whose benefit or use they were never intended.
The whole number of depositors under 201. was
only six per cent. of the whole number of de-
positors. The other evil which was likely to arise was,
that if the rate of interest was low it would tend to en-
courage extravagance on the part of the banks. The
best mode of guarding against both those abuses, was to
make the rate of interest given by the savings' banks
lower than what could be obtained if money -we:
invested in other public securities. At the dif-
ferent rates of interest given by the banks
of deposit, he did not think it was an ob-
jectionable feature in the present system ; but,
at all events, it was unavoidable. The Right
Hon. Gentleman went on to show by documentary evi-
dence that the public was rather a gainer than a loser
by the management at present adopted. He proposed to
raise the maximum rate of interest from 21. 15s. as ori-
ginally intended to 31.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BROTHERTON thought that every encourage-
ment should be given to those establishments for the
sake of the industrious labourers. He thought that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer would do well to raise the
maximum rate of interest to 31. 10s.

Mr. DIVETT thought that the savings' banks were
conducted on the whole, so as to give satisfaction. He
entirely approved of the principle on which the Bill was
founded, and he thought that the greatest credit was dun
to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the atten
which he had given to the subject.
Mr. LABOUCHERE approved on the whole of the
principle of the Bill, and he agreed with the Hon. Gen-
tleman that the greatest credit was due to the Right Hon.
Gentleman for the attention which he had devoted to the
subject. He thought that the raising of the rate of in-
terest to 3Z would give general satisfaction. He hoped
that the smaller banks would be enabled to afford this
rate of interest as well as the larger establishments.
Col. RUSHBROOKE thought that the raising of the
rate of interest to 3/. would give satisfaction. He thought
that every assistance should be given to the smaller
banks.

After a few words from Mr. HAWES and Mr. B.
EscorT, the House went into Committee, Mr. GREENE in
the chair.

On clause 1 being proposed,
Sir E. COLEBROOKE said it was considered that
10s. for the management was too much, and ss. too little.
He wished to know whether the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer would not allow 31. 6s. Bd., that was 34 for in-
terest and 6s. Bd. for the management ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
they would regulate the rate of interest given by the
savings bank, according to the general interest allowed
by other general securities. He thought that 31. ss. was
sufficient.

Mr. HUME thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer
was quite right. Ho hoped he would not be induced to
allow more than 3/. ss.

Sir T. D. ACLAND thought the Chancellor of the
Exchequer ought to allow 31. Os. 10d. as interest. He
also thought that it was due to the smaller banks that a
higher sum than ss. ought to be allowed for manage-
ment. He thought that 6s. Bd. was little enough ; and
any person who knew anything of those savings' banks
must be of the same opinion. He should propose that
6s. Bd. should be allowed.
_ _

Mr. LABOUCHERE said that if the Hon. Baronet
the Member for Devonshire divided the Committee on
bis proposition, that the sum for management should be
6s. Bd., he would support him in that proposition.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought
that those who proposed 31. Gs. Bd. could not have suffi-
ciently considered the relation in which the Government
stood with regard to savings banks. They stood in the
situation of a solvent banker, and they could not allow
a higher rate of interest than the most solvent banker
could afford. On those grounds he felt bound to adhere
to the original proposition of 31. ss.

Marquee at the eastern extremity of the terrace lawn, erected
by Benjamin Edgington, of 2, Duke-street, Southwark. It
was a wonderful structure, above 150 feet long by 50 feet
wide, the dome in the centre rising to the height of 50 feet.
The interior was lined with scarlet and white draperies, fes-
tooned all round, confined by rosettes of the same colours.
Suspended from the roof were some sixty chandeliers, which
were of course lighted up at dusk, contributing to render the
interior a gorgeous spectacle. The exterior was surmounted
by several minarets, from which floated banderols. It was
boarded throughout, for it must be understood that it was
subsequently to be converted into a " salon de danse," and
three tables, extending the whole length of the marquee,
were arranged for the sumptuous fare. Above 600 persons
sat down to dinner at the same-time, so the magnitude of the
marquee may be imagined."—Morning Herald.
