by the co-operation of the local Legislatures in Australia
in facilitating the recovery of loans advanced in England,
Sir J. PAKINGTON, admitting the importance of the sub-
ject, to which be had given his attention, doubted whether
any action of colonial legislation could remove the exist-
ing difficulty.

On the order for going into committee upon the Valua-
tion (Ireland) Bill, Mr, F. SCULLY urged the postpone-
ment of the measure until next session, and moved that
the committal of the bill be deferred for three months.—
Mr. MONSELL, feeling deeply the evils which the bill was
intended to remedy, opposed this motion, which, after
some observations from Sir D. NORREYS and Mr. V.
SCULLY in opposition to the bill, and from Sir W. So-
MERVILLE in its favour, was withdrawn, and the house
„cub 141.) ”1.11.1,
were agreed to, after debate.
The Nisi Prius Officers Bill, the Common Law Proce-
dure Bill (with further amendments), and the Master in
Chancery Abolition Bill, were each read a third time and
passed.
Other bills were advanced a stage, and the house ad-
journed at a quarter past one o'clock.

COLONIAL ECCLESIASTICAL LAWS

In a committee upon colonial ecclesiastical laws, Mr.
GLADSTONE moved that the chairman be directed to ask
leave to bring in a bill to relieve bishops, clergy, and
laity in the colonies, in communion with the church of
England, in respect to legal doubts or disabilities affecting
the management of their church affairs. Mr. Gladstone
replied to the objections urged by Sir J. Pakiogton to his
former bill, which he characterized as exaggerated and in-
consistent. One of these objections was, that the bill
would destroy the supremacy of the Crown, which was
not only unfounded but ridiculous, because the bill
required subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles, which
set forth the supremacy of the Crown, and he proposed
to leave that doctrine or principle to be asserted as it
stood in the articles, the colonies having the option to
determine whether they would assert that doctrine as it
was asserted in the articles, or in the form of an oath.
He did this upon the principle that all but imperial
questions should be left to the colonists. A point had
been raised, whether the synods or conventions should be
subject to the veto of the Crown : that was for Parliament
to decide. He explained various amendments he had
made in the bill, which he designed to make merely re-
lieving and permissive, and wished, he said, to have it
reprinted. that it might be sent to the colonies in a correct
shape.—Sir J. PAKINGTON defended himself with some
warmth against certain reflections made upon him by
Mr. Gladstone, and justified the objections he had urged
against the original bill. He did not oppose the motion
for leave to bring in the new bill, and if he found, after
communication with the colonies, that it was calculated
to bring about an improved state of things, and was free
from all objections upon other grounds, no one, he said,
would be more ready than he to support it. To obviate
an objection in point of form suggested by the chairman,
the words of the motion were altered, and the resolution
was for a bill to explain and amend the laws relating to
the church of England in the colonies.—Mr. HORSMAN
complained that Mr. Gladstone's mode of proceeding had
not been open and direct. His former speech and his bill
were at variance; the latter disclosed a snare.—Sir W. P.
Wool) censured Mr. Horsman for his habitual imputation
of motives to those who differed from him. The declared
object of Mr. Gladstone in this bill, he observed, was to
place the church of England in the colonies in precisely
the same situation as other religious bodies.—Mr. BUTT
thought the measure went very far beyond giving a power
of organization to the church of England in the colonies,
where it would break up the unity of that church.—The
resolution was then agreed to, and leave was given to
bring in the bill.

THE AMEERS OF SCINDE

Lord JOCELYIs7, in moving for papers relating to• a
charge- preferred against Meer Ali Moored, Ameer of
Upper Scinde, of having made fraudulent alterations- in
the treaty of Nownahur, concluded between him and the
late Meer Roostum Khan, entered at some length into
details which, in his opinion, bore upon the condition of
the ex-rulers of Scinde, once the faithful allies of the
British Government in India, now captives in a foreign
land. He moved for these documents, he said, on behalf
of the ex-Ameers, believing that the matters which had
been brought to light with reference to the conduct of
Ali Moorad Khan placed at the disposal of the Govern-
ment means of repairing the injury done to those Princes.
llis lordship gave a detail of the intrigues which had been
carried on by Ali Moored Khan against the Ameers of-
Lower Scinde, and shewed the irritation which they had•
created. He did not ask,. nor did these unfortunate
Princes ask to be replaced upon their thrones as rulers,
but merely to be allowed to visit their native land.—Sir
R. Ik&Lss felt it to be an honour and a privilege to se-
cond the motion, believing this to be a case of great
oppression.—Mr. BAILLIE obse►ved that the speech of
Lord Jocelyn had little connexion with his notice. The
policy of the conquest of Scinde and the deposition of the
Ameers had received the sanction and .rm,bation of the
Government, and of that house. Mr. Baillie was about
to state the views of the Indian Government respecting
the ex-Ameers, when, it being on the verge of six o'clock,
at the suggestion of Mr. HERRIF.S, the debate was. ad-
journed until Thursday. _ _

THURSDAY, JUNE 24.
At the morning sitting, several bills were read a third
time and passed ; others were advanced a stage.
