HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The house met a quarter to four o'clock.
A new writ was ordered for Edinburgh, in the place °f
Sir J. Hope, deceased.
Lord STANLEY gave notice that, on the second reading
of the Government of India Bill, he should move, as 8°
amendment, that it is the opinion of this house that fur"
ther information is necessary to enable Parliament t°
legislate with advantage for the permanent c,overnceen.!
of India ; and that, at this late period of the' session, tG
would be inexpedient to proceed with a measure which'
while it disturbs existing arrangements, cannot be cans`.
dered as a final one.

Lord J. RUSSELL stated, in reply to a question, Os!
the statement in the Monileur, relative to the despatch
of the English and French fleets to the Dardanelles, Rag
perfectly correct; but no notice had been received that
the British fleet had yet left Malta.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the hon. member for Finsbuq
had a notice on the paper relative to the occupation
Rome by French and Austrian troops, but in the present
state of public affairs it would be inconvenient to W,,,"
such a motion made. He therefore asked the honourable
member to postpone it.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE had no alternative but to accede LI
this appeal, though he would state he should have broug',,
the motion forward in no spirit of hostility to the French
people or their Sovereign.
ROMAN CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN HOLLAND.'-Lord
J. RUSSELL said there would be no objection to proclaca
the correspondence which had taken place on the subjecitj
—Mr. BOWYER gave notice that to-morrow he 105'
move that the correspondence be produced.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it w39h
mistake to suppose that there was any intention to abolqi;
the five per cent. addition imposed in import duties nio
1840 ; but while in 1840 there were no less than 1.2 v
articles liable to the addition, at the present time theta
were only twenty-two who pay it.
MOTION FOR COMMITTAL OF THE SUCCESSION DUTY
BILL.-Sir J. PACEINGTON moved that the bill be coo'
mitted this day six months. The duty would be notbil
else than a tax upon misfortune, and it was conceive
a spirit of opposition to the aristocratic institutions of t'
country and the property that supported them.
Mr. HEADLAM could nnderstand the right hon. Baronet
opposing the details of this bill, but he was at a loss tg
reconcile the present motion with the declaration mad
by the late Government, that they felt the time was co''
ing win n a tax on succession must be passed.

Mr. FAESIIFIELD seconded the amendment.
