E. Kirwan, Robert Clegg, and Joseph Boyd, formerly in
the Irish police; and further, to recommend some change
being made in the regulations of that body. The Noble
Lord read at great length testimonials in favour of the
petitioners, and complained of the manner in which the
police in Ireland was managed. He was of opinion
that they should have a standing police force in Ireland.
Au armed body was necessary even in the least disturbed
districts. He hoped that the Right Hon. Baronet would
take these matters under his consideration, and take the
proper measures for the better regulation of the police
force in Ireland.
Sir T. FREMANTLE hoped he would be excused at
that hour of the night, and under the circumstances, of
going at length into the subject which the Noble Lord
had brought forward. The Right Hon. Gentleman then,
in an exceedingly low and rapid tone, referred to the
parties named in the motion, all of whom, he said, had
been removed upon good cause. They had been con-
victed of insubordination and general bad conduct, and
on those grounds they were dismissed the service. The
reasor.s upon which the step complained of was taken,
was to the Government quite satisfactory, and they exone-
rated all parties concerned from any blame.
Mr. SHEIL wished to ask to ask a question. It was,
how the patronage of the Constabulary Force was ar-
ranged? Under the late Government, he understood that
two-thirds were appointed by Colonel M'Gregor.
Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE—One-third. The
remainder were in the hands of the Lord Lieutenant.
The motion was then negatived without a division.

The Courrier Francais contains an article on the German
Customs Union, from which we extract the following statistical
details, as possessing interest
6' The financial results obtained by the Zollverein deserve
special notice. From 54,434,C00f. in 1834, the gross re-
ceipts have risen to 95,121,0001. in 1843, and the net receipts
from 45,671,000 f. to 86,705,000 f., showing an advance of
75 per cent. for the former, and 85 per cent. for the latter.
'The average amount of customs produce, per inhabitant,
has risen from It. 94c. to 3f. 11c. Ihe most remarkable
result, in a financial point of view, is the reduction in the
expenses of collection. In Prussia those charges, from 1818
to 1828, were estimated at 21 per cent. on the gross receipts.
In the Bavaro-Wirtemberg Union they exceeded 44 per cent. ;
they are now reduced to 9 per cent. This extraordinary di-
minution must b t more particularly attributed to the reduction
of the extent of the customs lines. Before the union, Prussia,
Bavaria, Wirtemberg, and the two 1-leases had 15,000 kilo-
metres of frontiers; now the frontiers of the entire Zollverein,
from the increased compactness of the whole, are reduced to 7,500
kilometres. The economical results must also be regarded
as very satisfactory. The extension of market has given
an extraordinary impulse to certain manufactures, particularly
that of cotton and silk goods. In 1834 the Zollverein received
13,000,000 kilos. of cotton yarn, and in 1843 it imported
22,500,0. 0 kilos. During the same period the imports of raw
cotton rose from 7,000,000 f. to 19,500,000 f., whilst the im-
ports of foreign cotton goads decreased from 800,000 kilos. to
450,000 kilos. The imports of raw silk increased from
319,000 kilos. in 1837, to 700,000 kilos. in 1843, and that
of dyed or bleached silk from 76,000 kilos. to 100,000
kilos. The principal sale of manufactured silk has been
found in foreign markets, a third only having been used at
home. The consumption of tropical produce, which gene-
rally indicates the degree of prosperity enjoyed by the in-
habitants, has increased in a greater ratio than the produc-
tion itself. In 1835 the Zollverein received 46,000,000 kilos.
of raw sugar for refining, and 22,500,000 kilos. of coffee; it
received 60,000,000 kilos. of beet-root sugar manufactured
at home, and 38,000,000 kilos. of coffee. During the same
period the increase in the population was only 18 per cent.
The hardware trade has, of all the other native trades of the
Zollverein, prospered the most; in 1834, the export of ma-
nufactured goods was only 475,000 kilometres, whilst in 1843
it reached 1,245,000 kilometres. The foreign trade of the
Zollverein, for the period of five years, from 1837 to 1841,
gave an annual average of 619,683,7641. for imports, and
631,547,264 f. for exports, making together 1,251,547,264 f. At
the present time it is estimated at the sum of 1,400,000,000 f.,
or about two-thirds of our foreign trade. The Zollverein
may thus be ranked in the third class amongst the commercial
powers of Europe. The extension of commercial relations
resulting from the constitution of the Customs Union called for
an extended system of communication, and the Germans have
net lost much time in discussions on this subject. In 1836
Prussia had not a kilometre of railroad ; at the end of 1844
the extent of railroads in Germany was 2,434 kilometres (1,520
English miles), including those of Austria and the maritime
states. Berlin communicates with Frankfort and Stettin; the
three great commercial centres--Dresden, Leipsic, and Magde-
bssurg, are, as it were, at each other's gate ; Munich is joined
to Augsburgh ; Nuremberg to Furth ; Elberfeld to Dussel-
dorf. During 1844, 10,000,000 passengers and 700,000 kilo-
grammes of merchandise passed over the German railroads,
giving a receipt of about 29,000,000 f."

The House then resolved itself into a Committee o
Supply.

VIE BAHAMAS.

The sum of 3,410/. was proposed for the Civil Establish-
ment of the Bahamas.
Mr. WILLIAMS complained of the amount of the

vote.
Mr. C. BULLER said, that these islands ought to
bear their own expenses. Their population was 25,000,
and they had a revenue of 22,0001. a year. H• did
not think, therefore, they ought to come on this country.
He would not, however, divide the House on the vote.
After a few words from Mr. HINDLEY, the vote was
agreed to.

THE BERMUDAS.
The sum of 4,4091. was next proposed for the Civ
Establishment of the Bermudas and agreed to.
PRINCE EDWARD'S:ISLAND.

3,0701. was proposed for the civil establishment of
Prince Di vard's Island, and, after a few remarks from
Mr. C. BULLER, who considered that this country ought
to pay the Governor and Secretary, and no other, it was
agreed to.
4001 for the Sable Island, and for relieving shipwrecked
seamen, and 13,680/. for the civil establishments on the
western coast of Africa, were agreed to.
12,0001. was proposed to defray the expenses attendant
on the management of St. Helena.
Mr. WILLIAMS opposed the vote on the ground that
the cost was exorbitant; that it was principally paid to the
officers of the East India Company, who had rendered no
service to this country.
Mr. COLLETT was of the same opinion. 5001. was
paid to a chaplain whose duties might be efficiently per-
formed

The grant, however, was agreed to without a division.
7,2191. was proposed to defray the expenses incurred
in connexion with the Government of Western Aus-
tralia.
Mr. C. BULLER said, the population of the colony
was 3,476, and that it had lasted for 17 years. 9,0001.
was raised by taxation, which was at the rate of 31 per
head.
Mr. HOPE had not his papers with him relating to
the subject. He, however, could state that the tax was
a fair one.

The grant was then agreed to.
3,171/ was next proposed to defray the expenses of
the Government of South Australia, which, after a
short discussion, was agreed to.
5,3291. was next proposed to defray the expenses in-
curred in the Government of Port Essing, which, after a
few words from Mr. C. Buller, Dr. Bowring, and the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, was agreed to.
7,4601, for the Falkland Islands was agreed to:
The sum of 1,0231. was voted for the civil service of
Heligoland.
18,3944 for the West Indian Islands.
11,3531 being proposed for the Ecclesiastical service
of the North American provinces,
Mr. WILLIAMS objected to this vote, on the ground
of its inutility, and stated his intention of taking the sense
of the Committee upon it.
Dr. BOWRING supported the objection, and pointed
owt the anomaly of the Roman Catholic Bishop receiv-

Mr. SHEIL corroborated the statement of the Hon.
Member for Bolton that an incongruity existed in the
mode of paying the Roman—Catholic nnd Protestant
Ecclesiastics in the colonies, while thirmajor4 of the
population in almost all the settlements were members of
the former creed.
Lord SANDON wished to ask the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman the Member for Dungarvon how he reconciled
his complaint of the Roman Catholic bishops of the
Colonies receiving a less salary than the Protestant,
when the Roman Catholic Prelate of Newfoundland
received a large stipend, and the Protestant was unpaid.
Or, how he reconciled his proposition for an increase in
the salaried of Roman Catholic ecclesiastics in the colo-
nies, when those in Ireland refused on principle all de-
pendance whatever on the State ?
Mr. SHELL did not wish to entpc into the question of
relative Church endowments, all he desired was to effect

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:
SlR,—Another instance of gross neglect on the part
of 'stews-boat managers was witnessed at Hungerf:ord-
pier on Sunday evening. The boat in question was ren-
dered unsafe by various openings in the side rabings,
which, in the dark, were unfortunately taken for the
landing-places, by two gentlemen, who stepped off the
boat into the water, and were not rescued till nearly ex-
hausted. And had it not been for their cries the pier-
man would not have observed them in time, having then
rose three times. One gentleman lost a new hat, and
also spoiled a good suit of clothes, and is still labouring
under the effects of the fright. Ought public safety
and convenience to be so sacrificed, and no compensa-
tion rendered ?
Mr. Editor, you will confer a public benefit in calling
attention to such ewarrantable negligence..

Mr. C. BULLER stated that, though the Protestant
Bishop of Newfoundland received nothing, the Dean ob
tainted the salary, which otherwise would have been ac
corded to his superior.
After a few words of retort between Lord Sandon and
Mr. Sheil, Mr. Packington and Mr. Collett, the House
divided, when there appeared—

On 18,8951. being proposed for the missionaries of
Lower Canada,
Mr. CHARLES BULLER objected to Vote, He
was of opinion that the Indians recetval no be-
nefit whatever from the labours of the missionaries.
The fact was, that there were not three Indians who at-
tended their ministrations. He thought, that before they
voted away these sums year, after year, an inquiry should
be instituted as to its utility, and he hoped that before
next session the Government would lay a report b( fore
the House of the results which hid followed this ex-
penditure.
After a few words front Mr. HOPE,
Mr. WILLIAMS said that the inquiry proposed
should be instituted, and he had no doubt it would be
found that these Indians were far better off than our
agricultural labourers.
The vote was then agreed to.
10,495/ was proposed to defray the expenses of the
Colonial Land Emigration Board.
After a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS, the vote
was agreed to.
48,8 0L was then proposed to defray the expenses,
allowances, and contingencies of the stipendiary justices
of the West Indies and the Mauritius.

Mr. WILLIAMS objected to the vote, and said he
would take the sense of the House upon it.
The House then divided, when there appeared—

35,0001. was then voted for the expenses of capturing
' negroes; as also 24,0001. for defraying the expenses of
salaries to Commissioners and others for completing
treaties in conjunction with foreign powers for the sup-
pression of the slave trade ; and 110,7231. for the con-
sular establishment abroad.
Mr. HINDLEY.—What is the use of a consul in
Jerusalem, and other expenses of such a consulship,
to form an item in the estimates?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
understood to say, that he was useful in negotiations
with Eastern countries.
Dr. BOWRING.—Is it a fact that a consul has been
appointed at the Zolverein, and, if so, what is the salary?
Mr. HOPE said he had not heard of any such ap-
pointment.
The vote was then agreed to.
The next vote proposed was 80,0001 for the establish-
ment at Hong Kong.
Mr. HAWES observed upon the largeness of the sum
and wished to know if the details of the expenditure
had been duly considered, as a feeling that it was an
extravagant establishment prevailed among the trading
communities.

being the case he begged leave to state to

that he intended to bring it forward early next session,

HINTS.

It does not seem to be generally known that a short
Bill of a page and a half was introduced into Parliament
last week, having for its sole object to extend to Scot-
land and Ireland the Act 7 and 8 Vice c. 113, entitled.
" An Act to regulate Joint Stock Banks in England."
As this Act will now be extended to Scotland, we think
it right, for the information of the public, but chiefly of
those interested in the formation of joint stock banks, to
copy the first five clauses of the Act. They are the fol-
lowing
" I. Whereas the laws in force for the regulation of
copartnerships of bankers in England need to be amended
—be it enacted,• That it, shall not be ,awful for any
company of more than six persons to carry on the trade
or business of bankers in England, after the passing of
this Act, under any agreement or covenant of copartner-
ship, made or entered into on or after the sixth day of
May last passed, unless by virtue of letters patent to be
granted by her Majesty, according to the provisions of
this Act ; but nothing herein contained shall be construed
to restrain any such company established before the said
sixth day of May, for the purpose of carrying on the
said trade or business of bankers in England, from con-
tinuing to carry on the same trade and business as legally
as they might have done before the passing of this Act,
until letters patent shall have been granted to them se-
verally on their application, as hereinafter provided, to
be made subject to the provisions of this Act.
"IL And be it enacted, That before beginning to
exercise the said trade or business every such company
shall present a petition to her Majesty in council, pray-
ing that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to grant
to them letters patent under this Act; and every such
petition shall be signed by seven at least of the said
company, and shall set forth the following particulars
(that is to say) :
First, The names and additions of all the partners of
the company, and the name of the street, square, or
other place where each of the said partners reside.
Second, The proposed name of the bank.
Third, The name of the street, square, or other local
description of the place or places where the businesi of
the bank is to be carried on.
Fourth, The proposed amount of the capital stock,
not being in any case less than one hundred thousand
pounds, and the means by which it is to be raised.
Fifth, The amount of capital stock then paid up,
and where and how invested.
Sixth, The proposed number of shares in the busi-
ness. _ _ _ .

-51

Seventh, The amount of each share, not being less
than one hundred pounds each.
" 111. And be it enacted, Thatevery such petition shall
be referred by her Majesty to the Committee of Privy
Council for trade and plantations, and so soon as the
Lords of the said Committee shall have reported to her
Majesty. that the provisions of this Act have been com-
plied with on the part of the said company, it shall
thereupon be lawful for her Majesty, if her Majesty
shall so think fit, with the advice of her Privy Council,
to grant the said letters patent.
" IV. And be it enacted, That the deed of partner-
ship of every such banking company shall be prepared
according to a form to be approved by the Lord. of the
said Committee, and shall, in addition to any other pro-
visions which may be contained therein, contain specific
provisions for the following purposes (that is to say)—
First, For holding ordinary general meetings of the
company once at least in every year, at an appointed
time and place.
Second, For holding extraordinary general meetings
of the company, upon the requisition of nine share-
holders or more, having in the whole at least twenty-
one shares in the partnership business.
Third, For the management of the affairs of the com-
pany, and the election and qualification of the directors.
Fourth, For the retirement of at least one-fourth of
the directors yearly, and for preventing the re-election
of the retiring directors for at least twelve calendar
months.
FilM, For preventing the Company from purchasing
any shell es or making advances of money, or securities for
money, to any person on the security of a share or shares in
the partnership business.
Sixth, For the publication of the assets and liabilities
of the company at least once in every calendar month.
Seventh, For the yearly audit of the accounts of the
company, by two or more auditors, chosen at it general
meeting of the shareholders, and not being directors at
the time.

Eighth, For the yearly communication of the auditors'
report, and of a balance-sheet, and profit and loss account
to every shareholder.
Ninth, For the appointment of a manager, or other
officer to perform the duties of manager.
And such dead, executed by the hold.ers of at least one
half of the shares in the said business, on which not less
than ten pounds on each share of one hundred pounds,
and in proportion for every share of larger amount, shall
have then been paid up, shall be annexed to the petition;
and the provisions of such -deed, with such others as
to her Majesty shall- seem fit, shall be set forth in the
letters patent. •
" V. Provided always, and be it enacted,—That it
shall not be lawful for any .such .coMpany to commence
business until all theishares • shall have been subscribed`
for, and until the deed of, partnership shall have been
executed, personally orby some person duly authorised
by warrant of attorney to execute the same on behalf of
