MOVEMENTS OF THE FRENCH NAVY.
Extract of a letter at Lloyd's from their agent at
Gibraltar, dated July 14:-
" The French Government steamer, Pluton, with his
Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville, arrived at this
port from Oran, on the night of the Bth inst.; steamed
for Tangier the following morning, and returned to
her anchorage the same evening.
" The French line of battle ships (of the first class),
Suffren, Jemmapes, and Triton, also the frigate Belle
Poule, which were in Algesiras roadstead, have this day
sailed to the westward, and said to be bound for Cadiz to
await the issue of the negotiations now pending with
the Emperor of Morocco."
Extract from the Gibraltar Chronicle of July 12:-
" A frigate signalised three leagues distant to the
eastward this morning; did not show her colours until
her Majesty's ship Warspite fired a gun and hoisted the
demand as she passed Europe Point to the west, when
she showed French colours. Her decks were crowded
with people."

"Admiralty, July 22, 1844.
" Sir,-I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to transmit to you herewith, for the
34 information of the Committee for managing the affairs
of Lloyd's, extracts of a letter from Captain F. B. Black-
wood, of her Majesty's ship Fly, dated Sydney, 18th
of March last, respecting a beacon on Raine Island.
"I am, Sir, your most obedient servant;
"SIDNEY HERBERT.
" To William Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's."
% Extract of a letter from Captain F. P. Blackwood,
of her Majesty's ship Fly, dated 18th March, 1844, at
Sydney, and addressed to the Honourable S. Herbert:-
" I have the honour of informing you of our sailing
for Torres Straits, to continue our survey, and for the
purpose of building a stone beacon on Raine Island.
" I purpose erecting a circular stone tower, of fifty
feet in height, twenty-five feet in diameter (base), six-
teen feet diameter (top), to be painted in black and
white bands, each band to be one-third of the height
of the building.
" I believe that the beacon may be built in the course
of the ensuing season, and when completed, and the
track surveyed to Cape York (which I purpose also
doing this season), I have no hesitation in saying, that
Torres Straits may be as safely passed through, as
any other strait in the world, and the passage may be
made in three days, taking the precaution of anchoring
each night whilst inside the reefs."

HO USE OF COMM()VS, July 24.
I (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
TURNPIKE TRUSTS (WALES) BILL.
Clauses up to 58 inclusive were agreed to.
On clause 59 being proposed,
Colonel WOOD said ho had, in an earlier part of the
session, suggested the propriety of exempting lime from
toll. He now hoped the Commit ea would euter into a
compromise, and fix the toll on lime at I.ld. a load.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM did not think it was expe-
dient to reduce the toll on lime.
Colonel WOOD said that lime was very extensively
used in the Principality as manure, and as throughout
the country, all manure was exempt from toll, he thought
it was unjust not to reduce the toll on lime.
The motion was then negatived without a division.
Mr. J. H. VIVIAN then moved that coal be placed
on the same footing as lime.
The proposition, however, was rejected.
The clause then agreed to.
Clauses up to 75 inclusive were agreed to.
On clause 76 being proposed,
Mr. J. H. VIVIAN moved to strike out so much of
the clause as distinguished branch roads from main
roads, in order to abolish such distinction.
Sir J. GRAHAM said this was a very important
question, and before he made up his opinion upon it he
would be glad to hear the opinion of gentlemen who
were really acquainted with the subject.
Colonel TREVOR was of opinion that it would be
very beneficial to the Principality of Wales if they abo-
lished these side-bars, and the distinction to which the
Hon. Member for Swansea (Mr. Vivian) had alluded.
Dr. NICHOLL expressed the same opinion.
Colonel WOOD supported the amendment.
Mr. CRIPPS thought it would be beneficial to abolish
the distinction between branch and main roads.
After a brief discussion the clause was agreed to.
Clauses up to 81 were agreed to.
On clause 82 being proposed,
Colonel WOOD said that the landlords of the Prin-
cipality of Wales were most willing to take on thern,
selves the liabilities of existing debts, but the present
clause gave power to the boards to borrow fresh money.
This would subject them to new debts, and against this
he, for one, should protest.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM thought the House would
act very improperly in buying up these roads and pre-
venting them from borrowing money for the purpose of
improving the roads.
After some observations from Colonel WOOD, and
Mr. WILLIAMS, the clause was agreed to.
On clause 83 being proposed,
Mr. J. H. VIVIAN moved several amendments which
were not agreed to.
The clause was afterwards agreed to with some verbal
amendments.
Clauses 84, 85, 86, and 87, were agreed to with some
verbal amendments.
Clauses 88 and 89 were agreed to without alteration.
Clause 90 was agreed to with some verbal amend-
ments.
The remaining clauses were theq agreed to ; the
Chairman reported progress, and the report was orered
to be brought up to-morrow.
Mr. COWPER presented a petition from a place in
Yorkshire, in favour of the Field Gardens Bill.
Mr. P. M. STEWART presented a petition from the
General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, in
favour of the Presbyterian Marriages (Ireland) Bill.
NOTICES OF MOTION.—UNION WORK-
HOUSES.
Captain PECHELL gave notice that he would, to-
morrow,
move for a return of the union workhouses in
which mills or machinery for the crushing of bones have
been erected, together with the date of their erection.
HEALTH OF TOWNS.
Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that he would, on
Tuesday, the 30th of July, call the attention of the '
House to the report of the Committee on the Health of
Towns, and also to the report of the Ecclesiastical Com-
missioners, signed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and
the Bishop of London, in which it was stated that the
burial of persons in churchyards in towns was injurious.
_ _ GAMING.

Mr. BOUVERIE gave notice th at he would move that
a message be sent to the House of Lords, to ask for the
report of the Select Committee on Gaming.
CUSTOMS FRAUDS—PRINTING OF THE RE-
PORT FOR THE USE OF MEMBERS.
_ _ _

Mr. HUME said that after he left the House last
night a resolution had been come to that the report on
the Customs Frauds should be printed for the use of
Members only. He should like to know what was the
meaning of those words " for the use of Members only ?"
or what would be the consequence if it fell into the
hands of another person ? He only wanted to know
what was the feeling of the House.
Sir J. GRAHAM said it was thought more expe-
dient by the House that the report should be printed for
the use of Members only.
Mr. HUME said it was altogether novel.
Sir J. GRAHAM—It was by no meansnovel, for many
petitions had been printed for the use of Members only.
Mr. DUNCOMBE said he had altered the motion he
made last night, for the publication of the evidence, at
the suggestion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
though he stated at the time that it was a most
absurd proposition. Suppose the report were ly-
ing on his (Mr. Duncombe's) table, and a gentleman
should take hold of this blue book, was he to say,
" Don't touch that, it is for the use of Members only; if
you do, I shall call a policeman ?"—(Hear, hear, and
laughter.) He really wished to know whether
they were to keep this blue book locked up
in their desks or drawers and not show to any indi-
vidual but some other Member of the House of Commons?
When that House ceased its'labours what was to become
of these blue books ? They were for the use of Mem-
bers only, that was for the use of Members of that
House. The public would be much disappointed at the
determination which the House had come to last night,
and he hoped the Government would reconsider the re-
solution and do as it had done on a former occasion,
induce the House to rescind it.—(Loud laughter.)
When the evidence was first printed, it was done on
condition that only one copy should be placed in the
library of the House. The Chancellor of the Exche-
quer had now consented to print 658 copies, for the use
of Hon. Members only. He now asked him to go one
step further, and print it for the use of the public
altogether. . He wished to know whether he should be
guilty of a breach of privilege if he allowed any indivi-
dual to see this book, except Members of the House
of Commons ? The resolution completely defeated
the object of a Bill brought into that House, to
enable it to sell its reports and documents. Sup-
pose the newspapers should publish any portion
of this evidence. He sapposed they would be liable to
an action; but if he (Mr. Duncombe) were to publish it,
he wanted to know if he would be liable
to an action for libel ? (An Hon. Member—" Yes.")
Then what was the use of the publication ? There
never was so absurd a proposition as that of limiting the
perusal of the evidence. As he should not be able,
perhaps, to obtain another day, he gave notice that, on
going into Committee of Ways and Means, he should ask
the Chancellor of the Exchequer to go one step further
Lord STANLEY said, with regard to the conse-
quences which would follow the publication of the
evidence, by the Honourable Member himself; be
had better take legal advice. This restriction of
the evidence to Honourable Members themselves arose,
as his Right Honourable Friend had stated, from the
grievous injustice that would be felt under certain cir-
cumstances if the House of Commons were by authority
made the medium of circulating public libels. The Hon.
Gentleman must recollect the embarrassing case which oc-
curred some years ago from the publication, by the House,
of what was considered a libel. He apprehended that
the newspapers would not be affected in any way, be-
cause they were liable for what they published under any
circumstances. The House of Commons reserved to itself
the right of publication for the use of its Members, in or-
der to guide them in forming their opinions, but for that
purpose it was not necessary to publish generally any
matters reflecting on private individuals.
Sir C. NAPIER said the Noble Lord had declined
giving his Hon. Friend any legal opinion. He wished
to ask whether the Solicitor-General would refuse to
do so?
The SOLICITOR GENERAL—Certainly not.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that the House was mono-
polising the property of newspapers.
The conversation then dropped.
HORSE SLAUGHTERING BILL.
On the order of the day for the House going into Com-
mittee on this Bill,
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected to the Bill that it gave
.00 much additional power to the police.
Mr. COWPER defended the Bill, which was
