HOUSE OF COMMONS

The house met at a quarter to four o'clock.
Anew writ was ordered forEdinburghshire, in the place of
Sir J. Hope, deceased.
Lord STANLEY gave notice that, on the second reading
of the Government of India Bill, he should move, as an
amendment, that it is the opinion of this house that fur.
ther information 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
would be inexpedient to proceed with a measure which,
while it disturbs existing arrangements, cannot be consi•
dered as a final one.
Lord J. RUSSELL stated, in reply to a question, that
the statement in the Moniteur, relative to the despatch
of the English and French fleets to the Dardanelles, was
perfectly correct; but no notice had been received that
the British fleet had yet left Malta.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the hon. member for Finsbury
had a notice on the paper relative to the occupation of
Rome by French and Austrian troops, but in the present
state of public affairs it would be inconvenient to have
such a motion made. He therefore asked the honourable
member to postpone it. _ .

.
Mr. T. DuNcomny. had no alternative but to accede to
this appeal, though he would state he should have brought
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 produce
the correspondence which had taken place on this subject.
—Mr. BOWYER gave notice that to-morrow he would
move that the correspondence be produced.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it WaS a
mistake to suppose that there was any intention to abolish
the five per cent. addition imposed in import duties is
1840 ; but while in 1840 there were no less than 1,200
articles liable to the addition, at the present time there
were only twenty.two which pay it.
MOTION FOR COMMITTAL OF THE SUCCESSION DUTY
BILL.—Sir J. PAKINGTON moved that the bill be cool•
milted this day six months. The duty would be nothing
else than a tax upon misfortune, and it was conceived in
a spirit of opposition to the aristocratic institutions of the
country and the property that supported them.
Mr. HEADLAM could understand the right hon. Baronet
opposing the details of this bill, but he was at a loss to
reconcile the present motion with the declaration made
by the late Government, that they felt the time was cool"
ing when a tax on succession must be passed.
Mr. FRESHFIELD seconded thp amendment.
