House Of Lords, Fstoat, Ace. 14. On The ...
HOUSE OF LORDS , Fstoat , Ace . 14 . On the motion of Earl Grey , the Australian IVasie Lands Bill was read a second time . Lord Bkoeghjm then made a statement respecting a nulion of which he had given notice , touching the administration of the Poor Law , and proceeded to Qake a vigorous defence of the commissioners and the svstem , which last , he maintained , had only teen ritiated by the introduction of outdoor relief . The Earned lord concluded by lamenting that he could mz confer on the country , this session , that great toon , the digest Of the criminal code , but hoped to te able to introduce it next year . The Sugar Duties Bill passed through Committee . SereraLBills were then forwarded a stage , and the & 0 US ; a Jjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS , Friday , August 14 .
The Chaxcbixor of the Exchequer moved that the order of the day be read for going into a conittittee of supply . Mr . Wakley having referred to the previous an-EfHmcement of Sir G . Grey , that he had appointed 3 co . aniirsion consisting of the Earl of Chichester , Lord SevmouT , and Mr . B . Escott , to inquire into the abuses alleged to exist in Miibank-prison , asked whether there would be any objection to furnish the \ m & with the instructions given to the commissioners ? He also expressed a hope that Sir G . Grey would not object to placing Mr . Duncombe ' s name on "that commission . Sir G , Grey expressed his readiness to lay the instructions on the table as soon as the commission had received ller Majesty ' s sanction . The commissioners would stand in the light of jurors or judges , but Mr . Buncombe in the light of an accuser .
Mr . DcscoMBE said that , had he been invited to belong to ihe commission , he should have felt it his duty to accept the office ; but after what had passed , notiiiss would induce him to form part of it . lie Protested against the doctrine that a member of Farlumeit presenting a petition should be considered as i ie accuser of the parties of whom that petition complained . Still , if the truth could not be asserted without his going More the commission he would appear before it , and see impartial justice done . BMr . Hume then pressed upon Ministers the propriety of conceding , as soon as possible , representa tive governments to the colony ot Van pieman s Xaad ° and the other 10 colonies which had applied for them .
BRITISH MUSEUM . Mr . Hm « thenrnwed areaoli | ion to the effect that the British Museum , the National Gallery ,, and other instructive institutions of the kind , should be thrown open to the public between certain Jmuis on Sandavs . The motion -was opposed hy Lord J , Russell , and
House Of Lords, Fstoat, Ace. 14. On The ...
warmly supported by Mr . Wakley , Mr . Williams , Dr . Bownng , and General Sir De Lacy Evans . Mr . Hume , however , withdrew it ., The house then resolved itself into a Committee of supply . The Speaker having resumed the chair : —
BUCKINGHAM PALACE . On the motion for granting £ 20 , 000 for the purpose of enlarging and improving Buckingham Palace , considerable discussion took place . The Chancillor of the Exchequer justified the grant Mr . Protheroe , Mr . Bernal , and Mr . Hume contended that it was impossible to make Buckingham Palace a decent and proper residence for the Sovereign of this country . Mr . Hume , after denouncing it as unhealthy , objected to sanction a vote for the further improvement of such a building , and moved to reduce the grant to £ 5 , 000 , the sum necessary to repair the damage done by the recent storm . At the same time he ^ expressed his readiness to build on another site a commodious and comfortable and becoming residence for her Majesty , if Buckingham Palace did not furnish adequate accomodation . On a division , Mr . Hume ' s amendment was negatived by a majority of 55 over six
voices . Several other grants were then agreed to . The housa resumed , and the report was ordered to be read to-morrow . Several bills were then advanced a staie .
BUNGLING LEGISLATION-ERROR IN THE CORN BILL . ' Mr . VniiERs moved for a committee of the house on the law relating to the duty on rye , peas , and beans , with the view oi rectifying an error in the new Corn Bill , by which these inferior grains are subject to a higher duty than wheat . Lord George Bskiikck having oppraed the motion , the Chancellor of the Exchequer recommended that it should be withdrawn ; as it was now too late to entertain it in the face of the noble lord ' s opposition . Mr . Vomers ultimately withdrew his motionv The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought m a Bill to amend an Act of this session , for authorising a loan from the Consolidated Fund to the New Zealand Company . The . Bill was read a first time .
r £ r . Hawbs brought in a Bill to make better provision for the government of New Zealand . The Bill was intended to confer the privilege of selfgovernment in the colony . ^ Mr . Goci 30 ft . v opposed the BiD , on the ground that it was too late to discuss so important a question . The BUI was ultimately read a first time , and I ordered to be read a second time on Monday next . The House then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS , Saturday , Are . 15 . The house met at twelve o ' clock . After a considerable amount of mere routine business bad been transacted , the order _ of the day was read for the third reading of the British Possessions Bill . On the motion that the bill be read a third time ,
The Chancellor of the Exchequer Raid that he intended to bring up a clause which would introduce such amendments into the bill as would obviate the objections of Mr . Golbourn , and as would prevent the colonial legislatures from levying nnfair discriminating duties on British produce and manufactures . Lord G . Bestiscs rose to move that the bill be read a third time that day threemosths . The effect of the bill would be to take awav the monopoly that , up to the present time , the manufacturers and producers of Great Britain had enjoyed in the British colonies . The effect of the recent free-trade measnres had not been such as to afford the house much encouragement to proceed in the aame course . The passing of the Corn Bill , and the prospect « f the
passing of the Sugar Bill , had not appeared to have secured the prosperity of the manufacturers , as they were told . At Oldham , Stockport , Ashttra , Dunkinfield , and in some places in Yorkshire , the master manufacturers had already given notice to their workmen of a reduction of five per cent , in their wages , telling them that as food was cheaper , they could afford to work for lower wages . The effect of the recent free-trade measures upon Manchester was described in a circular by Messrs . Gibson and Ord , who stated that there had never been so dull a month as that which had just passed . And this was the state of things notwithstanding the fine harvest throughout the country . It was not at all improbable that the farmers , seeing the price of wheat
rapidly falling to 40 s . a quarter , would torbear to purchase any manufactures until they saw whether they could afford to pay for them —{ Hear , hear . ) From Canada the accounts were , that all kinds of produce , but particularly flour and timber , had fallen in value , -md he knew that a house had recalled an order for £ 100 , 000 worth of dry goods to be sent to the Canadas , In consequence of the passing of thejrecent measures . Such was the consequence of their free-trade measures in Canada . Under these circumstances , the manufacturers could ill afford to lose the monopoly of the colonial market which they now enjoyed , and the houss ought to pause before they read a third time a bill so import ant , and introduced too , at so late a period of the session . The bill was only printed on the 11 th of August , and the house was now asked on the loth to read it a third time , and pass it . At present half the house were gone to
the moors ( a laugh , ) and another fourth were gone to the continent . Only about 50 or 60 members remained to lesislate on a bill of too much importance to pass In SUCll a house . The noble lord at the head of the Government once said , and well said , that this country could not bear to have a revolution once a year . At present , however , they had a revolution once a week . ( A laugh . ) The consequence of passing this bill would ultimately be to abolish the navigation laws . ( Hear , hear , from Mr . Bright . ) Let the shipping interest know that the hon . member for Durham cheered that statement , and that it was the intention of the manufacturers of England to do away with the navigation laws . He considered that he should be wanting in his duty to all the great interests concerned if he forebore to oppose the bill , and he accordingly moved that it be read a third time that day three months . Mr . Hexlby seconded the motion .
Lord J . Rcssell said his noble friend had told the house that half the members had gone to the moors , and he had certainly been in hopes that his noble friend had been among that party . ( Much laughter . ) If his noble friend were enjoying himself in shootins at this time of the year he should be better pleased , but as his noble friend had returned to the house he should be obliged to repeat to him the general principles on which the measure rested . His lordship then contended that we ought not to expose the colonies to the disadvantages , when we took from them
all the advantages of protection . If the manufacturing and agricultural part of the population had a right to consume the cheapest sugar they ; could get , the colonies were also entitled to have their provisions and manufactures at as cheap a rate as the > could be obtained . He declined , upon this occasion , to follow his noble friend into that discussion , on the policy of the navigation laws , into which he had so recklessly entered . Mr . Spooser declared his intention of voting in favour of the amendment .
Mr . Bright said that Lord G . Bentinck having been absent for some time from the house , it was not impossible that he had been down in the manufacturing districts , and he had there kicked up the information with whieh he had to-day favoured the house . He ( Mr . Bright ) fancied , however , if the real secret were known how the noble lord had obtained his information , it would be found that he had derived it from the columns of the Standard newspaper . The noble lord had stated , that in some parts of Lancashire , Cheshire , and Yorkshire , —at Oldham , Stockport , Dukintield , and other places , wages were falling : and that the reason given by theniastersftr a reduction was , that there had been a fall in price of food . He ( Mr . Bright ) had some
acquaintance with the district to which the 110016 lord had referred , and he could state his belief that there was no manufacturer within twenty miles of Manchester so lamentably ignorant on the subject as to make such a statement to his workmen . He ( Mr . Bright ) had seen a paragraph in the newspapers on this subject . He believed the statement to be totaliv false ; and he had never been able to discover any other foundation for it than that which was frequently the loundation of newspaper paragraphsthe verv livelv imagination of the editors . He believed that at no time within the memory ofthe oldest man in the district to which he had referred had the population ever been more fully employed or enjoved greater physical comforts , than at this and there
moment . The price of food was now low , was an abundant demand for labour . It was true that the state of trade was not so satisfactory as it might be . The noble lord seemed to flatter himself that a feeling of regret was entert ained throughout the country at the repeal of the corn laws . U « ( Mr . Bright ) believed , on the contrary , that there was an almost unanimous feeling of acquiescence in the principles which had been adopted by the late and by the present Government . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Mr . Bright ) had cheered the noble lord during his reference to the navigation laws , because he believed the principle which had been carried out with regard to corn and sugar must eventually be applied to snipping . ( Hear , hear . )
After some further discussion , in which Mr . BeRxal , Mr . B . Escott , and Mr . Brothertos supported , and Mr . Henley , Sir IL Douglas . Mr . M . Gore , and Mr . Nbwdkgate opposed the bill , the house divided , when there appeared , For the amendment 8 Against it 47 Majority against it ... 39 The bill was then read a third time and passed . The house then disposed ofthe other orders of the day and adjourned . HOUSE OF LORDS , Mosday , August 17 The house met at 5 o ' clock . Locd Rkbssd am complained of th 9 ' tusfSsmi p . y

which the commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of tho college at Maynooth had performed their duty , and recommended that steps should bo taken to obtain a more ccurate report . ' The Marquis of Lanbdowhk promised that every attention should be paid to the college : and the matter The Sugar Duties Bill and several other bills ware then reada tl » rd tm 16 and P * ^ » after which the house adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS , Monday , August 17 . The SrnAKERtook the chair at 12 o ' clock . In consequence of a request made to him by Sir G . Grey , Mr . Hums agreed not to press , to-morrow , his resolutions respecting the conduct of the Poor Law Commissioners . . He stated , however , that he would bring them forward on this day week , as his eyes were now open to the mal-administration of tho Poor Law , of which he had been a suy porlerfrom the first moment of its introduction almost down to the
present time . Sir J . Hobhousb , in reply to a question irora Mr , Warburton denied that there was any truth in a statement contained in a newspaper called the Herald of Reace , that previously to the march on Sobraon , the 30 th regiment had been employed in maiming and shooting all the prisoners taken from theJSikhs the previous battles . On the contrary , the surgeons of the British army had been employed in taking care of the wounded Sikhs to the general astonishment ot an enemy who had never before seen ' the practice of such humanity .
Lord J . Russell then announced that it was the intention of Her Majesty ' s Ministers to drop the bill for the renewal of the Arms Act . On consulting the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , he found that his noble friend was of opinion that it would be far better to dispense with the bill altogether than to continue it divested of the branding andregistration clauses , to which so many gentlemen had objected . His noble friend had likewise declared his readiness to undertake the Government of Ireland without the continuance of those clauses . He ( Lord John Russell ) had great satisfaction in informing the house that there had been no impediment to the administration of justice on the present circuits in Ireland , and that juries appeared to have been fully
done their duty wherever the evidence was sufficient to warrant a verdict of guilty . During the last month , too , the offences reported by the constabulary as grave offences had greatly decreased . If , however , it should unfortunately turn out , hereafter , that there was a necessity for demanding extraordinary powers in order to preserve life and property in Ireland , Her Majesty ' s Government would not shrink from the doty which would then be incumbent upon them . The noble lord concluded by moving the order of the day for going into committee upon the Public Works ( Ireland ) Bill . ^ ¦ . Mr . Escoxr and Mr . Hume expressed their approbation of the conduct of Government in taking this important subject into their candid re-consideration . A conversation then took place on the question of placing the Wellington statue 011 the top of the
triumphal arch . From what then transpired , it appears that the statue is to be placed on the top of that arch for three weeks ; and that if in that time it is not approved of by the Government , it is to be taken down again at the expense of the erectors . Several members expressed their dissatisfaction at this arrangement . After several questions had been put by Dr . Bowrwg on the sul jeefc of flogging in the army . Lord J . Russell declared that the Duke of Wellington did not intend to evade any declaration which he had made either to that house or to the other house of Parliament . It was the desire and intention of Government to diminish the frequency of this punishmentas much as possible with the view of ultimately sustaining the discipline of the army by other and better means .
Mr . C . Buller , Mr . "Williams , Captain Berkeley , and Mr . Wakley , each delivered their sentiments on the subject ; and the latter gentleman defended himself against the charges prefe-red against hia conduct as coroner on the inquest . The house then went into committee on the Public Works ( Ireland ) Bill . Lord John Russeli , took a review of the whole question of Irish distress and the failure ofthe potato crop . He recapitulated themeasures adopted by the late Government—the purchase of Indian corn , the donations , the public works executed , the advances , & c , all of which amounted to £ 3-52 , 481 , of which £ 357 . 630 was tot to be repaid , and £ i 9 i , 85 l to be repaid . These measures he considered as prudent ,
and well calculated to effect their object under the then existing emergency , though he regarded the principle of the Government buying food for the people , and of advances and grants for public works , H ) lie liable to grave objection . Lord John proceeded to quote a large number of letters from all parts of Ireland to establish that the potato crop disease this year was even more alarming than last . It had , therefore , become the duty ofthe Government to consider in what manner they should propose to Parliament to make provision for some employment for the labouring classes of Ireland , and at the same time leave , as he trusted Parliament would leave , such a discretion in the hands of the Government as any emergency might render necessary in their opinion .
It had appeared to the Government that , while there should be public works , and those public works should be undertaken under due control , that they should not defray the cost of those works from any parliamentary grant , but that they should be defrayed from a loan to be repaid by the counties . He proposed , therefore , to introduce a bill to authorise the Lord Lieutenant to summon a barony session , Or a COUnty sessimfor works of relief , the choice of such works as would afford the necessary employment to be left to the session , and the works to be superintended by the Board of Works—advances to be made from the Treasury to be repaid in ten years , at 31 per cent , interest . In very poor districts , the works would be undertaken by the Government , but
then they should be works of public utility , and a grant Of £ 50 , 000 would be proposed for that purpose . He did not propose either to interfere with the general supply of food by merchants , nor the wholesale or retail trade , which must have suffered derangement , by the operation consequent on the intraduction of Indian corn . With reference to the Relief Committee , the Government would take care to avoid those errors into whieh the late Government had fallen , and guided by the experience they had received , he hoped to be able to meet effectively the serious distress of the country , and he hoped to avoid those evils which had arisen from members of the Relief Committee giving tickets to persons who did not require such relief . The officers to be employed
would be the commissariat officers , to be paid by the Government , and any others whom it might be found necessary to employ would be also paid by the Government . Having these objects in view , he proposed first , that a sum should be voted to defray the expenses already incurred ; then a vote for direct advances by Exchequer bills for the purposes stated in the bill , and then the vote for the districts which might speedily require it . He considered the present as a special case requiring the intervention of Parliament , and rendering it imperative on the Government to take extraordinary measures for the relief of the people . He trusted that the course which he was proposing would convince the poorest among the Irish people that the house was not insensible to
the claim * whieh they had upon it as the Farltament of the United Kingdom . He assured the committee , that the late Ministry had shown a very laudable anxiety to meet this evil , —that the remedies which they applied had Leen suited to the occasion , —that the present Government was imitating the spirit in which they had acted , and was endeavouring to tike advantage of their experience to correct errors which were inevitable , in consequence of unforeseen difficulties . The noble lord concluded by moving that a grant of £ 175 . 000 be voted to defray the expenses lately incurred , and to make further advances out of the Exchequer ; and £ 50 . 000 for the promotion of public works in Ireland , for the benefit of very poor districts .
Mr . LM 50 UC 11 ERE considered any incidental discussion Oil the Poor Laws quite useless at that moment . He eulogised the measures of the late , and defended the proposition of the present government . The late oovernment had taken extraerdinary measures to introduce a supply of Indian corn into Ireland ; but now the corn trade was perfectly open , and nothing could be more fatal to the interests of the country than that government should undertake the trade of the corn merchant . He hoped that the bill , which in accordance with th * intentions of Lord J Russell it would be his duty to lay on the table of the house , would prevent the Irish people from being left in a state of destitution , while it would provide efficient checks to control the administration of measures for their relief .
The Earl of Llvcolm denied that tue measures of the lato government had demoralised the habits of the labouring population of Ii eland , and observed that if they had , the measures ofthe present government which were founded upon tbera , would lay it open to the same imputation . He believed , however , that considerable benefit had been derived irom the measures ofthe late administration , and that great moral advantage would eventually accrue from them to the labouring population , lie hoped that the people of Ireland would see that no government in England would allow them to perish from destitution . He fully approved ofthe intentions of her Majesty ' s government on this subject . Air . Labouchehe expressed his regret that Lord Lincoln should suppose tha * . he was disposed to underrate the manner in whi . cb the late government , in circumst ances of unexampled difficulty , had performed its duty .
After a discussion , ir ^ which Sir R . Ferguson , Mr . Escott , the Chancellor of the Exchequer , Mr . enley , Sir D . Nor ' reys , Mr . Hume , Mr . Monkton Miles , and Mr . M . Gore , joined . The resolutions , "were then agreed to The house then resumed , and the report was ordered to to received OB ' . desday . . .

a Spanish colony was an extraordinary sight in Liverpool , now it was almost as rare an occurrence to find an English shi p in the port ot Liverpool laden with goods for the Ilavannah . The Americans had suffered in a similar way , but they had passed a measure of retaliation , and in consequence of that , Spain abandoned her discriminating duties with respect to the United States . In 18 H , the last for which returns could be procured , the declared value ° / oo n ^ ° A u 8 ht . to Cuba by British ships was £ 33 000 , by America £ 49 , 441 ., and by Spanishships £ 428 , 243 . ^ This was the effect of admitting foreign countries into competition with the ship ? of Great Britain—the worst ships and the worst sailors in the world were thus enablwJ to beat ihose of Great
Britain out of the Spanish colonial trade . The navi gation laws of Spain make it worth the while of the merchants to pay Spanish vessels a freight of 60 s . ner ton in preference to paying 10 s . per ton to British vessels . Lord George pressed on the government an imitation of the policy ot America . That country did not trust to "examples of liberality , " but had recourse to energetic measures , had adopted the policy of retaliation , which obtained for them the benefits they desired . We , on the contrary , had tried conciliation and liberality , and we found no generosity in return . Mr . M . Gibson admitted the injury that had been
done to British shipping , but hoped no retaliating policy would be adopted by the Government . . Lord Palmehsto » said we had no reciprocity treaty with Spain , and therefore we could not de ^ mand that British vessels should be placed on the footing of Spanish vessels'in Spanish ports . But we had treaties with Spain that entitled us to the footing of the most favoured nations , and , therefore , if Spain had yielded anything to America , we should hare a right to require an equal concession . lie was not , however , sufficiently informed on the subject ; but to any retaliating policy he waa decidedly opposed .
After a few words from Mr . Hume , the subject dropped . POLAND . Mr . Humr moved for any correspondence between the Government ot her Majesty and the Government of Craeow , Russia , Prussia , and Austria , relative to the appointment of a British agent at Cracow , since the declaration made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the House of Commons , in the year 183 * 0 , of his intention of sending a consul to reside at Craeow . He said that the events , to which he was about to draw the attention of the house , had occurred on a spot where we were not only interested in their progress , but entitled to know their cause , and bound to interfere to prevent their repetition . —
( Ilear , hear . ) It became a question for their consideration whether , when they saw a weak state invaded by more powerful neighbours , and its liberties destroyed , there ought not to be some interference on the part of this country ; . —( Hear , hear . ) In 1830 they had lost the opportunity of joining with France to demand of Russia the restoration ot the rights and liberties of Poland . Had Earl Grey used the language in JS 30 which he employed in 1793 Poland would now be again a nation . But he had not done so ; and aUb & ngh there could belittle doubt that Poland would yet regain her freedom , still he feared that before that epoch much time would elapse . The honour of England was sullied by allowing the liberties of a small power like Cracow to be thus taken
away . When the noble lord was asked why government had not sent out a consul to Cracow , lie replied that Government had given up the intention . He thought they were entitled to an answer from the noble lord , exculpatory of thecenductof the British Government . —( Hear , hear . ) They ought not to permit those treaties to remain in a state which might at any future period embroil them with other powers . He found h y the general treaty of Vienna thas there were two articles , of which one related to the Poles , and the other to the Government ol Cracow . By the first it was stipulated that the Poles , subjects of Austria , Russia , and Prussia should obtain a free representative constitution such as each Government should think proper and
expedient to grant them . That clause had never been fulfilled , and the English Government had never had the courage to demand the cause . To that pusillanimity on the part of this country were attributable most of the evils that had befallen Poland . —{ tlear , hear , ) By the second of the articles ho had mentioned the existence of Cracow , as an independent neutral state , was guaranteed by Austria , Russia , and Prussia , under the protection of those powers . By a clause of that treaty it was laid down that no armed force was to be introduced into Cracow under any pretence whatever . To that treaty the British Ambassador had affixed his signature , in token that England was a party to it . And yet every article of that treaty had been violated , while England quietly
permitted those Governments to break the pledges that they had solemnly taken in the face ofthe world . It was their duty to remonstrate ; if they had not done so they had betrayed their trust , but if they had , he would like to know what method they had employed to enforce respect for those remonstrances . —( Hear , hear , hear . ) After reviewing the recent events in Cracow and Gallicia , which must be now iamiliar to the public , Mr . Hume proceeded to > ay that there was no other instance in the history of Europe where the Government had instigated the populace to murder the classes above them , and where no steps had been taken by the Government to bring the authors of these outrages to punishment . He concluded by moving for the correspondence
specified . Lord PAiMEttsro . v said that nothing could be more painful so a right-minded individual , than discussions turning on the subject of Poland ; because they related to a great and a noble people , who in former times held a pre-eminent position amongst the states of Europe , and who by the occurrence of events of the greatest magnitude at a remote jeriod were deprived of their nationality , and absorbed by the neighbouring territories . But the events to which those recollections applied were now matters of history ; and whatever might be the aspirations of those whose dreams led them fondly to believe that the time would some when the former political condition of Poland would be restored , they , sitting in that House , and knowing what were the treaties and
engagements by which the powers ot Europe were bound , and the present political distribution of Europe regulated , could not go farther back than to the trcatv of Vienna . To that extent , however , they ought to go , and upon that treaty tliey had a right to take their stand . There could be no doubt that the ^ trcaty of Vienna had been violated . —( Hear , hear . ) The treaty was explicit in its language , and provided tlmtthe republic of Cracow was to be maintained as a free and independent state , Not only were Austria , Russia , and Prussia parties to that treaty—Great Britain , France , and other kingdoms also were parties to it . In relation ( 0 those events , he would give the three powers credit lor not having intentionally departed from the engagements they
had entered into by executing the treaty of Vienna . But he maintained , without doubt , that when the emergencies should have ceased which had been alleged as the ground of these proceedings , it was the duty of the three powers to replace Cracow , on that footing of complete independence to which it was entitled by the treaty of Vienna . He also hoped that such was the intention of the three powers , and he had no knowledge to the contrary . It was fo the interest of those powers that they should regard the treaty of Vienna as a whole ; for they v ere sagacious enough to know that if the treaty were not good on tho Vistula it might be bad on the Rhine or on the Po . —l Hear , hear . ) His Honourable Friend , he was
afraid , had rather understated than exaggerated the hideous scenes he had described ns having taken place in those provinces ; and there he did net speak from official information , but from the ordinary source of intelligence ; and he must say , that scenes there described were without example in any age ; certainly not in the history of modern Europe . His Hon . Friend , he was sure , would excuse him for not acceding more amply to the terms of his motion . — ( Hear , hear ) . He thought , however , that the papers he was prepared to give him would afford sufficient satisfaction on the facts out of which his mstion had arisen ; and so far as a representation on 4 he part ot the British Government might go , he mild assure
him that nothing should be wanting . Dr . Bownm said that the speech of t 3 » noble lord could not fail to mrko a deep imprcssjan upon the minds of the peonle of this country . lie was glad . to find , that the tjeatyof Vienna had been violated bv those who drew it up , and who had gained so much 5 MS « n «& thesligtotblame touttaoh toSenobto lord , he tfaoRght the residence ot a Britfi wp ^ tative atCracnwo inostimporiantar . fanwnt , ami if it had I e n made before , he believou that these events voaldnot . have occurred .-iletr Y-The speech of the noble lord , he repeated , lad given him great aatLtaekion ; but if lilo spared him till tiie next sessicn of Parliament , it was his nuroOSC tuen to show that the aspect of Poland rcouired the intcrfcranco * f this Government , and the concurrent aid of every one who hated tyranny and adored independence .
After a few remarks from Mr . M . M . Milnos , Mr . ' j A Smith , Mr . Wyse , and Mr . P . Stewart , deprecatory of the conduct of the Austrian Government , Mr Humb said after the admirable speech of the noble lord , he did not wish to go to a division , but with the kave of the house would withdraw his amendment . It was accordingly withdrawn , The other Bills on the Utile were forwarded a

Wood proposed to accept the first , second , and ninth resolutions , and on them to found a short Bill , to be immediately introduced .
RECENT LAW APPOINTMENTS . Sir G . Grey having moved the order of the day for going into committee or the Small Debts Bill , Lord G . Bentinck called the attention of . the house to a job which had been committed by tho late government with respect to the appointment of the present chief justice of Bombay . At the present , there were two chief justices of thai Presidency . On the 20 th of June last , the late administration resigned the reins of government , but appointed on the 30 th Mr . D . Pollock to the office of chief justice of Bombay . At that time , Sir H . Rofter , the chief justice of Bombay , had not tendered his resignation to the government . Sir H . Roper was in the seventh year of the . performance of his duties as chief iustice of
Bombay . Five years' service entitled him to a retiring pension of £ 700 a year ; seven years' service to a retiring pension of £ 1 , 000 a year . Sir II . Roper ' s period of seven years' service would not expire till the 2 nd of next November ; and yet to perpetrate a job , the late President ofthe Board of Control had superseded Sir II . Roper , and appointed Mr . D . Pollock as chief justice in his stead . By the law of the land , as soon as Mr . Pollock was appointed , the authority of Sir II . Roper as chief justice ceased ; and the result was , that every trial which had since taken place before Sir U . Roper , became illegal , and every criminal convicted and hanged in the interval , was a murdered man . To remedy this illegality , a bill , under the title of the " Patent Commission Bill , "
had passed the House of Lords , and would , in all probability , be introduced into that house that evening . The object of this job had been to make a vacancy in the Commissioners of Insolvency , and thereby- to reward the private secretary ot Lord Lyndhurst . He had nothing to say against the character of Mr . D . Pollock , but he was < 5 J years of age . Passing over the appointment of Mr . C . Phillips as successor to Mr . D , Pollock an appointment , however , which was attributable to the friendship of an ex-Chancellor , who had recently defended in another place all the tergiversation of the late government , he had no
hesitation in denouncing , as a gross job , the appointment of Mr . Perry as the successor of Mr . C . Phillips . He called on the partisans of the lato government to show him any precedent for so nefarious a job ; The governvnt was actually defunct when it made this appointment ; and he therefore felt him . self entitled to call for investigation into the manner in which this patronage of the chief justiceship had been disposed of . After one of his usual bitter attacks on the late administration , he eal ' ed upon Sir J . Hobhnuae to lay before the house all the information whieh he could produce with respect to this appointment .
Sir J . lIoBiioi'SE stated the facts of the case , and left the house to come to its own decision upon them In February last , Sir II . Roper wrote to Lorn Ripon , expressing his wish to retire from the chief justiceship of Bombay , not immediately , but on the 2 dot November next , when he would be entitled to a retiring pension of £ 1 , 000 a-year for seven years'" service . On fhe 4 th ot May , Lord Ripon , having taken Her Majesty ' s pleasure on the suhj ' ect , accepted the resignation of Sir II . Roper on the terms on which it had been tendered . On the ICth of June , Lord Ripon requested Mr . Gladstone , tho Colonial Secretary , to make out a patent for the appointmeni of Mr . D . Pollock as successor to Sir IL Roper . Mr . Gladstone , on enquiring into the matter , informed Lord Ripon thatK » vas illegal to appoint a Jndgein
prospectu . Lord Ripon thereupon ordered letters patent to be made out , appointing Mr . D . Pollock forthwith chief justice of Bombay . This was accordingly done on the 1 st of July , and in the patent appointing Mr . D . Pollock there was a clause annulling the appointment of Sir H . Roper . As soon as he ( Sir J . Hobhouse ) saw that clause he consulted the Attorney-General upon it , and-the Attorney-General , after examining into it , informed him that there wa . « - no remedy except an act of Parliament , to legalize ail that might take place in the interval between Mr . D . PoUock's appointment and the time of taking hia seat flsjehiefjustice at Bombay , nnd an act of Parlia . incut had in consequence been drawn up and introduced into the House of Lords by the present Lord Chancellor .
Sir J . W . flooo said , that before tho introduction of steam it was the invariable rule that ail judges in India should give a year ' s notice of their intention to resign , in order that a new judge might arrire before the departure of the retiring one . Lord Ripon had written to the Secretary of the Colonics , desiring that a patent should be made out , constituting Mr . Pollock chief justice from the 2 d of November next . Sir J . Hobhouse had said that this could not legally be done : but he wished to know why not . The late Sir W . Follett , and the law advisers of the
East India Company , said that it could be done ; and , if they were wrong , the error had existed for at least a century- He then read an opinion , signet ) hy Sir W . Follett , the present Lord Chief Baron , and the late Mr . Serjeant Spankie , which justified the course recently taken by Lord Ripon with lespecc to ihe appointment of Mr . D . Pollock as chief justice of Bombay . The Attorney-General corrected Sir J . W . Hogg as to what he had said respecting the practice ot former times . He had himself come to the opinion which Sir J . Hobhouse had communicated to the
house , after mature deliberation , and he was happy to say that he had been fortified in it by the concurrent opinion of the present Lord Chief Baron , the present Lord Chancellor , the late Lord Chancellor , and the late Attorney-General . It was laid down in all our old law-books and especially in Comyn's Digest , that a judicial office would not be held in reversion . The object of the bill introduced into the other house was to cure altogether the inconvenience which had been felt in this case , and to make all letters patent in future take effect upon the arrival of the new judge in India . Mr . S . Wortley agreed with ihe Attorney-General that a judicial office could not be granted in re version , but was not sure that an appointment to a judicial office was illegal , he charged Lord G . Bentinck with taking the house hy surprise , and with wantonlv exposing the character of the late Government .
Mr . Hume said he could not help observing that the whole case brought before the house by the noble lord , the member for Lynn , developed proceedings of a most " singular character . On looking over the papers ho held in his ham ' , he found there asserted a downright lie . It might be designated an error , but he would demonstrate it to be what he called it—a lie . It was asserted that Sir Henry Roper had resipned his office at a ceH .-iin term stated , but he had not resigned his office , nor was he to resign for some ; tiiue subsequently to the period stated ; and was not that , he would ask . a downright falsehood ? The noble lord had done the State gvod service by bringing forward this gross job , or something very like one . After a few winds from Mr . Berxal ,
Mr . Goclbcrs complained of the course takea by Lord G . Bentinck , in attributing , without notis * , to a man as able as himself , nefarious corruption- anil flagitious profligacy . Mr . llESLEYei . forccd the same views oi Ibis question which had bsen already taken by Lord G . Bentinck . Lord Liscoi . x was of opinion that this case had been most unfairly represented , and censured Lord G . Bentinck in bringing it forward so unexpectedly , when ovci-v member of the late administration affected bv " it was out of town , and unable to be present either to defend himself or wstim-t othera to do-so . _ . __ .. .
Mr . DisfabU , after defending Lord G . Bentinck from the censures of the last speaker , proceeded to condemn the appointment of . Mr . D . Pollock as : . » appointment made by a government iu extmrje * . He also denounced it as a very invprispcr disu-wution Of patronage by Lord Ripon . 'Ihe answers which had been given to the staument ot % » x < x G . Bentinek confirmed it in every particulsw . If an investigation were made intu it , he b <; 3 eved that the conduct of Lord Lyndhurst would come pure from the ordeal ; but it was by no mi > n » 9 clear that other individuals had not committed themselves by actions which required Parliamentary investigation , and which would hereafter bo visited by public reprobation , lie then retorted on the Ministerial party generally , and on Mr . S . ^ Yorticy in particular , the invectives which they had cast on I the consistency of Lord G . Bentinck's Pavliameutarv conduct .
Several bills were then advance ! a stage . The house then adjourned at 7 o ' clock . ROUSE OF COMMONS . —Wudsesday , Auo . 10 th . Lord Geokoe BEJmscK rotijactcd the charge he had brought the previous d : iy , in his speech on the subject of the appointment of the Chief Justice of Bombay , as to the bartering of patronage between tho Lord Chancellor and tho Earl of Ripon . with respect to the nomination to the living of tvnocktou .

HOUSEOFLORDS-Tjirawiir , Ai-orarSO . Lord Lyndhurst rose to answer the accusation made by Lord G . Bentinck , in the lower house , respecting certain recent law appointments , and after recapitulating and explaining the ciicumstances of the cas » with extreme ability , concluded by a vehement philippic on t ^ e noble author of the aceusation , which he stigmatised as slanderous and vexatious , After some discussion , the British Possessions Bui was read a second time , aud other measures proceeded with .
