"There is no t,7ror. Cassius, in your threats,
For I am so armed lii steadfast honesty
That they pass by me as the idle wind."
The bill was then ordered to be printed, and to be read
a second time on Monday.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of
the Charitable Trusts' Bill. His lordship entered at great
length into the details of the measure, and the advantages

which would accrue to charitable trusts from its adoption.
His lordship also entered into a voluminous explanation of
the provisions of the bill, after which he called upon their
lordships to permit it to be read a second time.
Lord COTTENHAM said that the bill had been two years
before the house. It had been before them in its present
form since February last; but the noble lord had not
stated his intentions in regard to it. It was proposed to
eiclude from the operation of the bill all charities sup-
ported or assisted by voluntary contributions. He re-
commended that all applications, in cases of charitable
trusts, to the courts of equity, should be exempt from
fees. Meanwhile, he would move that the bill should b
read that

Mr. Lawson and Mr. Alderman Humphrey having ad-
dressed the house, the CH ANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER
vindicated the commercial policy of the government as
conducive to the interests of the consumer, favourable to
commerce and trade, and beneficial to every interest of
tile country.

;Mr. BANKES contended that the measures of the go-
vernment were wholly distasteful to the country.
Mr. HAWES asked, if that were so, why no one con.
nected with menufactues had that night joined in the op-
positibn to measures which must as seriously affect them
ag others ? The commerce and trade of the country were
really seriously affected by the delay, and therefore he
urged the importance of arriving at a definite conclusion.
Mr. Peter Borthwick, Mr. Plumptre, Dr. Bowring,.
Colonel Sibthorp, and Mr. Henley spoke, as did also Mr.
Hudson, who opposed the measure, and elicited some
amusement by observing that he had listened attentively
to the whole of the speeches in these unprecedmtedly long
and heavy &bates.

Lord GEORGE "BENTINCK then withdrew hic amend-
ment, a Hide to the surprise of the hou-e, and the report

was brought up.
Iri committee on Lord Hardinge's Annuity Bill, Sir A.
L. HAY moved that the pension should not be withheld
during the lifetime of Lord Hardinge, because of the an-
nuity of £5,000 awarded to him by the East India Com-
pany. _

A.desultory conversation ensued, after which Sir A. L.
ilia withdiew, his motion, and the bill passed through
