THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1853.

referring to the bill for the renewal of the East India
charter, and complaining of the restrictions which existed
with regard to the importation of Salt into India, and the
practical monopoly in salt enjoyed by the Elst India
Company,and another petition from the mayor, aldermen,
and burgesses of the same borough, with their common
seal attached, urging the same grievances, were ordered
to be referred to the committee on Indian affairs.

moved the second reading of the Recovery of Personal
Liberty Bill, which he warmly supported.—Mr. PHINN
moved, by way of amendment, that it be referred to a
select committee to consider whether any and what regula-
tions are necessary for the better protection of the inmates
of conventual establishments and for the prevention of un-
due influencein procuring the alienation of their property.—
Mr. I. BUTT seconded the amendment. He was as much
opposed to Romanist ascendancy in this country as any
man ; but he was the more anxious that the cause of
Protestantism should be wholly in the right, whereas he
believed that, if this course of legislation were to be
adopted without inquiry, it would be placed in the wrong.
—Mr. FAGAN objected to the bill and the amendment,
considering both to be equally offensive to the feelings
and even the honour of the Romanists of this country.—
Mr. NAPIER said he admitted that this was a difficult and
a painful question ; but, finding that monastic vows in-
terfered with personal liberty and property, upon prin-
ciples totally irreconcileable with law and equity, it was,
he thought, the duty of Parliament to deal with it and to
provide a remedy.—Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he had no
hesitation in voting against the second reading of a•bill
which, on the plea of securing liberty, would set up a
tyranny, being satisfied that the Habeas Corpus At was
an effectual safeguard for personal liberty. With regard
to the proposition contained in the amendment, monastic
institutions were recognised by the law, and before any
inquiry into them was instituted, which would excite
irritation and alarm, there should be good ground for
believing that women were kept there against their will,
and, without some very strong case, he could not agree
to the appointment of a select committee.—After some
further discussion the house divided, and the second
reading was negatived by 209 to 180. The hour of six
having arrived, the amendment could not be put, so that
that question remains to be decided.

THURSDAY, JUNE 23.
The East Lancashire Railway (No. 2) Bill was read a
third time and passed.
Mr. GREENALL presented a petition from St. Helen's,
in favour of the bill to facilitate the recovery of personal
liberty in certain cases.
The Holme Reservoir Bill was read a third time, and
passed by a majority of 131 to 23.
LIVERPOOL ELECTION COMMITTEE.—On the motion
of Lord D. STUART, it was ordered that the minutes of
evidence taken before the Liverpool Election Committee
be printed.
INSPECTION OF NUNNERIES.—In answer to Mr. New-
degate, as to when it was his intention to make the
motion for the appointment of a select committee upon
conventual establishments, which now stood as a substan-
tive motion,—Mr. PHINN said he did not know whether
her Majesty's Government would be able to give him a
day for the discussion of this question. Unless he was
so favoured, looking at the numerous orders before the
House, he did not think that for a month to come it would
be possible to bring on his motion. A motion to adjourn
the question till Wednesday, the 20th July, was subse-
quently carried by 85 to 37.
NEWSPAPER STAMPS.—The CHANCELLOR OF THE
EXCHEQUER obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the
law relating to the stamp duties upon newspapers.
THE INDIA BILL.—On the order of the day for the
second reading of the Government of India Bill, Lord
STANLEY moved, as an amendment, that further infor-
mation is necessary to enable Parliament to legislate with
advantage for the permanent government of India ; and
that, at this late period of the session, it is inexpedient to
proceed with a measure which, while it disturbs existing
arrangements, cannot be considered as a final settlement.
After a long speech, he concluded by saying that he
thought the conduct of the Indian government had been
such as to demand a strict and searching inquiry before
any portion of the power they now possessed was left in
their hands.—Mr. LOWE defended the bill, and said Lord
Stanley, he thought, had made no case for a delay, which
would paralyse the energies of the Indian Government in
every department.—Mr. PHINN opposed the bill, because
it was a departure from the great principle which the
Whig party bad always professed—that all government
should emanate from the Crown. Thiswas a half-measure,
unworthy of a strong administration, from which a large,
liberal, and substantial measure was expected.—Mr.
BA IL LIE opposed the bill, and Mr. HERRIES spoke against
the amendment, and the debate was adjourned.
The Excise Duties on Spirits Bill was read a third time
and passed, after an ineffectual opposition by the Irish
members.
The adjourned debate on the Sligo writ was resumed, and
after some discussion, the writ was ordered to be issued.
The House adjourned at a quarter before three o'clock.
FRIDAY, JUNE 24.
- • • •

The house met at twelve o'clock, and went into corn.
mittee on the Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Bill, and
the Leasing Powers (Ireland) Bill.
In reply to Lord J. Manners, Lord PALMERSTON said
it was the intention of government to bring in a bill to
extend the Metropolitan Graveyards Bill to the provinces.
NATIONAL EDUCATION.—Lord J. RUSSELL said he
could not undertake to say that his bill would be pro-
ceeded with, nor could he say, at this early stage of the
session, what bills would be withdrawn, or which would
be proceeded with.
INDIA BILL.—The adjourned debate was resumed by
Mr. HUMFi who insisted that this measure ought not to
be proceeded with until the India committee had termi-
nated its labours.—Mr. MACAULAY thought the bill was
calculated to meet the necessities of India, since it intro-
duced improvements and left: room for extension, as ne-
cessity might arise. Several other members addressed the
House, and the debate was again adjourned.
TRALEE.—A new writ was ordered for Tralee, in the
room of Maurice O'Connell, deceased.
The House adjourned at a quarter past 1 o'clock.

at the meeting on Tuesday, when the Finance Committee
recommended that Mr. George Canning be appointed as-
sistant to the Vestry-clerk at a salary of £l5O per annum,
and that Mr. J. P. Lewis be elected book-keeper. The
admissions to the vagarant-sheds during last week had
been 629. The number of inmates in the workhouse, on
the 16th instant, was 1,809. The Industrial Schools Com-
mittee, amongst other matters, reported that, as the ac-
commodation for religious instruction of the children, and
for holding Divine service in the school, is very inade-
quate, it had been resolved unanimously to recommend to
the general board the erection of a chapel. It was re-
ported that the children were satisfied with some new
arrangements as to diet, which had effected a saving in
five weeks of £64 odd.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—" For upwards of
nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of Winchmore
Hill, Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of this
excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted
with headache and indigestion ; but a friend having in-
duced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now
inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and
during that long period of time I have taken them in
preference to any other medicine; and I have the happiness
of saying that I never had a better state of health, which
I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add,
that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we
know of nothing to equal it." In any case where an
aperient medicine is required, they need only be tried to
be universally adopted. Sold by all medicine vendors,
Price ls. lid. per box. See the name of " Thomas Prout,

PROVISION MARKETS

LIVERPOOL, Jess 25.—The market for Beef continues
depressed, the sales during the week having been trifling in
the extreme, and the tendency of prices downwards. There
is a moderate inquiry for Pork, which is met by holders freely.
The demand for Bacon is-good, and the sales are to an average
extent, and tolerably Erm• prices, notwithstanding a great
effort by the dealers to force a reduction. Shoulders are lower
ls. to 2s, per cwt. The sales- of Lard exceed 80 tons, without
alteration in price. Since the warm weather commenced there
has been a falling off in the demand for cheese.

JUNE 27.—The transactions in. Butter have been to a fair
extent during the whole of the past week, and prices continue
without alteration, in consequence of the demand being quite
equal to the supply. The most esteemed brands of Waterford,

kenny, Carlow, and Wexford,. 83s to 85s; second-rate sorts,
