session, when he should he pr;pared with another mea-
sure for improving. and amending the law of arbitration.
SUCCESSION DUTY.--The Earl Of ABERDEEN moved
the third reading of the Succession Duty Bill.—Lord Sr.
LEONARDS entered his protest against the passing of the
bill, and moved certain amendments.—Lord BEAUMONT
expressed his satisfaction at finding that hereafter there
would be no distinction drawn between real and personal
property, but he thought that it would have been better
to have abolished the legacy duty and place successions of
all sorts on the same footing.—Lord BERNERS said this
bill would be unjust, because the land had to bear burdens
from which personal property was entirely exempt.—Earl
GRANVILLE defended the measure, and insisted that there
was nothing in the position of the landed interest to
justify its claim to exemption in this case.—After some
further discussion, the bill was read a third time and

the F

,)rd of the

)Jr. tJ ORSFALL inquired whether
Admiralty had received any corn-

ion complaining of

great irregularity in the deli-

very of letters by the African mail contract steamers, and
whether any measures were being taken to prevent a re-
currence of the same. Probably, the right hon. gentle-
man was aware that the last steamer neglected to call at
two principal trading ports, as it should have done accord-
ing to contract.—Sir J. Gr.Arram had not heard at the
Board of Admiralty of any special complaint of failure in
respect to time on the part of these particular steamers,
but the Board of Admiralty had given general notice to
ail parties under contract that they would enforce the spe-
cial contract in reeard to the observance of time with
more rigoer than hitherto. No representation had been
forwarded to the Admiralty that the last African mail
steamer had not touched at all the proper places.
INDIA BILL.—OD the report upon the Government of
India Bill, Sir J. PAKINGTON moved the insertion of a
clause in the bill, enacting that the salt monopoly should
cast, and that the manufacture and sale of salt in India
shall he absolutely free, subject only to excise or other
duty. He could hardly believe, he said, that he was ap-
pealing to the advocates of commercial freedom to put an
end to a monopoly which was fatal to the welfare, the
health, nay, the lives, of the population of India, and
highly injurious to the shipping interest of this country.—
S'r C. WOOD, in resisting the motion, observed, that the
salt monopoly, as it was termed, which was no longer a
monopoly of sale, was only a mode of collecting a
revenue which could not be commuted for any other
tax.—The motion was supported by Mr. J. Prirem-
MORE, and opposed by Sir J. HOGG, who entered into-
many details respecting the production of the native
salt, and the revenue derived from this source.—
Lord J. RUSSELL said he hoped, that in acting upon
this proposition the House would consider whether it
would not be better not to set the example of regulating
the taxation of India, but leave it in the hands of the In-
dian Government.—Mr. DISRAELI said that Parliament
was now-called upon to consider what should be the Govern-
ment of India for a considerable period, and if it was true
that the salt monopoly did produce consequences injurious
to the great body of the people of India, how could the
evil be dealt with except by the British Parliament ? and
what better opportunity could present itself. Upon a di-
vision, the motion was carried by 117 to 107 (leaving the
Government in a minority of 10), and the clause was or-
dered to be added to the bill.—Sir C. WOOD moved two
clauses,—one reducing the qualification for directors from
£2,0C,0 to £l,OOO stock, all the directors, elected and ap-
pointed, to have the same qualification; the other clause
fixing the salaries of the directors, which he proposed
should be £l,OOO, those of the chairman and deputy-
chairman 1,500. The House having gone into comm!tt.--.3

upon this clause, the opposition was renewed, and in fte
end the chairman reported progress, it being understood
that the question should be resumed at the third rearing
of the bill.

r;I" CARRIAGES.—In committee on the Hackney
Carriage Bill, a clause was moved by Mr. LOWE, to allow
cabmen 6d. for each additional passenger over two. After
a lengthened discussion, the clause was carried by 90 to 11.
A clause was then moved and agreed to legalising a charge
of Is. for every mile or part of a mile beyond the distance
of four miles from Charing-cross. Several other bills were
advanced a stage, and the House adjourned at five minutes
past three o'clock.

FRIDAY, 29th JULY.
The house met at noon.
CONINInTATioN or STOCK.—In committee on South Sea
Stocks, &c. Commutation Act, the CH ANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER. replied to the si eeclies of Mr. Disraeli and Sir F.
Kelly on thepreviousday,denying that there wasany inten-
tion to offer to the holders of South Sea Stock any better
terms than those which they had already declared, or that
he desired to have granted to him an unlimited time to
negociate with them. The whole scope of the resolution
was nothing more than now offering to those holders of
South Sea Stock who were by law disqualified from
accepting the option held out to other holders by the act
of this session, the identical terms which those others
had thought proper to decline.—After some discussion
the resolution was carried by 119 to 69.—The third reso-
lution was then agreed to.—The house resumed, and the
report was ordered to be brought up on Monday.
ASSESSED TAXES.—This bill missed through commit-
tee, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having inj:

ments proposed by different members. , time

land he altered, with the view of encouraging small pro-
prietors. The clause was negatived after a short discus-
sion. Several other amendments met a similar fate.—
Sir C. Wool) then moved the following clause :—" In-
stead of the yearly sums allowed under the bye-laws of
the said company to the chairman, deputy chairman, and
other directors, for their attendance upon the business of
the said company, there shall be allowed to the chairman,
the deputy chairman, and directors, under this tic', the
yearly sums following : that is to say, to the chairman,
£l5OO a year ; to the deputy chairman, £l5OO a year ;
and to every other director, £lOOO a year."—The house
having gone into committee on the clause, Mr. HAD'
FIELD moved as an amendment that the salaries of the
chairman and deputy chairman should be £lOOO each-
-The discussion of toe previous evening upon this subject
was renewed, and the same arguments enforced on either
side.—The committee divided, and the amendment was
carried by a majority of 101 to 85.—Sir C. WooD then
said that he would adopt £lOOO each for the chairman
and deputy ohairman, and £5OO each for the other
directors. This was agreed to, the house resumed, and
the bill passed.
RELIGIOUS TEST.—The House went into committee on
the Universities (Scotland) Bill. Mr. F. SCOTT moved,
as an amendment, to the second clause, that the words

tians. The committee divided, and the amendment was
negatived by 81 to 37. The bill then passed through
