Sit Down Quietly, Without Setting Fire T...
sit down quietly , without setting fire to the house of a Minister , or . sending a King or Queen about their . business . ( Much cheering . ) The reason of that was , that all classes of the people co-operated . They saw disasters abroad , because the masses had no men of intelligence and wealth to lead them in their movements . If it ever came to nasa in this country lhat the men of the middle classes , even the members of the aristocracy , refused to come forward and aid the working classes in their efforts to obtain their rights , then fareweU to our old system of carrying things by moral means ! ( Cheers . ) They might make one great stride , or do much by some convulsive ^ effort , but it would be followed by tbe reaction which always follows on violence , and whilst they seemed to make rapid progress , thev .. , ... . .--..--. r
would he dealing with appearances only . It was by moderation , by argument , by appeals to facts such us ihey could adduce , they would be successful . Let them go on in the way they had begun , and they would carry a great reform , which , once carried , would be carried for ever . They would never ifter either go back or look back , - ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . LusnrsoTOX " , M . P ,, moved , and Mr . Latimer , tenant-farmer , seconded , the first resolution : — " That as the freehold land societies have been proved to be powerful auxiliaries to the cause of reform , by adding to the number of voters in the county constituencies , and as they are a means of promoting thrifty and provident habits among the working classes , this conference is of opinion that they are worthy of the earnest support of every reformer , and may be made greatly instrumental iu promoting the reform movement . " resolu
Mr . M'Gregor , M . P ., in speaking to the - tion , said that the Houses of Parliament might be termed the House of Lords and the House of Landlords . ( Cheers . ) The national debt was created to pay the cost of taking human life—( cheers , )—no less than £ 118 , 000 , 000 had been paid since the days of William III . for the shedding of blood , and for the glory of the Dafce of Malborougb . ( Cheers . ) The battle of Waterloo might be considered to have thiscountry £ 111 , 000 , 000 —( loud cheers)—and every one who paid the window-tax . might he said to pay for that mischievous and bloody battle . ( Cheers . ) It had been fought to drive 2 fapoleon and his family from France , and yet at this very moment Kapoleon ' s nephew was President of the Prench Republic . ( Cheers . ) The hon . gentleman concluded by pledging himself to advance the cause of Parliamentary financial reform by every means in his power .
The sitting was suspended for one hour , and on the return ofthe delegates , Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds eame forward and said that , in accordance with the rules which had been laid down for the regulation of the proceedings , he had submitted two resolutions to the business comjnittee , of which he had proposed to become the Hiover . The committee had sent them back to liim , saying that they did not think they were competent to entertain them . He therefore appealed to the meeting whether they would allow the resolutions to he brought forward . The resolutions were as follows : —
1 st . —That this Conference is rally impressed with the force of the numerous practical objections to a suffrage based on a rating qualification , and especially recognises the flagrant impolicy and gross injustice ot excluding any male adult from the exercise ot that franchise which is a natural and national right—inasmuch as those who perform the duties and bear the burthens of citizens , ought to be represented , while no section of tlie community ought to begonernsd without being represented ; —and therefore this Conference is of opinion that the programme of the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association should he so far altered as to base the right of Suffrage -upon " a claim to be registered , " instead of ' a claim to be rated . "
2 nd . —That this Conference , entertaining the most earnest and sincere desire to behold the rights of the working-classes properly defended and their interests effectually represented—and believing that these aims can only be accomplished by afibrding an opportunity for men of flic highest intellect belonging to tlie ranks of Laeods to attain an entrance into the People ' s Parliament—recom mends the addition of the principle of "Payment of Members" to the programme ofthe National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . 3 rd . —That as the Executive Committee ofthe National Charter Association and the Council of the National Reform League have severally appointed Deputations to wait upon the Conference and expound the views of those bodies to the National Parliamentary and Financial Keform Association , the Conference decides upon receiving and hearing the said Deputations .
The resolutions were seconded hy Mr . Leblobd , and rejected by a great majority . Mr . Buetok , delegate from Winchester , was prepared to say that aU the farmers in the neighbourhood of that city would shortly come round to the principles ofthe association . As for the city itself , he there stood almost alone in his views . ' but they all knew that Winchester , which had nine parish churches , and no less than fifty clergymen ( oh , oh , ) was celebrated for its antiquity , and for nothing else —( hear , hear , and laughter . ) Mr . Height , M . P ., addressed the meeting , and urged on them the necessity of putting forward
their views in the most acceptable and least objectionable way . The principal ground on which he ' felt himself capable of defending Mr . Hume ' s resolution was , that though they would exclude some men , they were not directed against any class , and would not exclude either rich or poor , ont would operate on all alike . The rich were , with some brilliant exceptions , timid on all questions which tended to a democratic direction . The policy of their leaders had been to create an idea that there was something in ihe power of the many destructive to the interests of the rich , than which nothing could be more false and mistaken . There was a class which
had a strong interest in that sort of wrong-doing , ¦ which was only reconcilable with narrrow and restricted representation , hut he did not propose to appeal to them at all . They would come in when the great majority of the nation had assembled round the movement . It was of no use convincing the masses that the association were not hostile to their interests , because they clearly were so . ( Cheers . ) But as to other classes in the country , he might say to the meeting it was not necessary , amid the vast difference of opinion which existed on political questions , for every one to say all he hoped would come to pass when this reform was carried . What each of them said as to his particular views wonld be quite sure to startle and alarm some one else . For instance , he would not urge that the
moment they got reform they should upset the established church . Many men in favour of a fair representation of the nation were for its maintenance , and he held it to be in the highest degree injudicious ¦ when they were seeking that representation that persons shonld use as arguments for it the possibility of effecting changes for which tho country was not yet ripe . The people had a ri ght to a fair share in the government of the nation , and they could convince ' all but the timid and the interested that the true interests of the country would be served hy a thorough reform ofthe Parliamentary system , and hy making the House of Commons the ' organ and mouthpiece ofthe great mass of the people . ( Cheers . ) There was a now of opinion in favour of Parliamentary change such as never had been seen
hefore . A measure for extending the Irish franchise was going quietly through Parliament , while , ten years ago , the mere proposal to give Ireland a better registration was fought over as if the fate of parlies depended on the issue . That measure was notoriously to be followed , next year , by a proposition for a considerable change in the representation of Great Britain . ( Cheers . ) A great change was at hand . He had reason to believe it was strictly true that Sir R . Peel had observed , not very long ago— " We should all be very g lad to get up tomorrow morning and find the thing done , but the difficulty is in the doing of it . " ( Loud cheers and laughter . ) Let not the Reform party then attempt to frighten others for the sake of theories which might he adopted in some hundred years or so , but
let them work for a real change in a system of representation which they would have laughed at if offered by an European monarch to his subjects during the late continental disturbances . He trusted it would he laid on what he believed to be the true foundation of all valuable institutions , and that which could alone secure their existence and good working — the general concurrence of the ¦ v irtue and intelligence of the nation . ( Loud cheers . ) Several delegates having spoken , the resolution was then formally put , and carried unanimously . Mr . WmTWEix , Peterborough , moved a resolution , recommending the establishment of a journal ¦ which should appear under -the authority , and ex pressing the views of the association . It was secanded by Mr . Bustisg , of Norwich , and unanimously carried .
Mr . Thomas Clark moved— " That the council be Tespectfnlly requested to prepare a bill containing the plan of reform proposed by the association , with a view to its introduction in that shape to Parliament" , , -i The resolution , which was earned unanimously , ¦ was seconded by Mr . 'fillet , and numbered among its supporters Mr . Parry , Mi-. M'Pherson ( Aberdeen ) , Rev . Mr . Worrell ( Bethnal-green ) , and Mr . Thw-Utes returned to the objections he had ur ^ ed in the forenoon against the existing constitution of the council , taking particular exception to the £ 10 qualification for becoming one of its mem-Ders . He founded a resolution on the subject , suggesting that the future members of the council should ^ be chosen by election , without reference to their annual subscriptions , and the motion found so many supporters of various shades of opinion , that the time allowed for the conference expired before any decision could be come to ..
At the desire of the meeting , the Chairman consequently announced an adjournment of tho debate until the following morning , at ten o ' clock .
THURSDAY . ^ The Conference resumed this morning at ten o clock j ^ S ' urJoshua "Walmsley ; M . P . in the chair . » ihe debate on the third resolution was resumed , and the resolution carried . The following resolutions were then put and carried : — " . * ' That thU Conference believes that the Mempera of tho House of Commons will be more in-

fluenced by a sense of their constituents were they to institute and preserve a constant communication with them ; stating their views on' the important questions introduced before the . ' Legislature , and requesting their attendance and support whenever Parliamentary and Financial Reform measures are introduced . " " That this conference is of opinion that every means ought to be employed to enlarge the present county and borough constituencies to the- utmost extent , and that it is desirable to form in the several localities , committees , with a permanent machinery , to watch and superintend the registration ; and that it be hereby recommended to the Reform Associations throughout the country , particularly where established in districts not satisfactorily represented at the present time in Parliament , the urgent importance of being prepared , whenever any vacancy occurs in the representation of any borough or divisions of counties with which such
associations aro connected , to nominate thorough Reformers , and thus increase the number of Reform members in the House of Commons ; or , at all events , aid the development of public opinion in support of the principles of this association . " " That it be referred to the business committee to prepare and issue to the public a report embodying the results of the Conference . " Mr . Wilkinson , treasurer of the National Association , could assure the Conference without some arrangement or effort being made , they would not be able to meet their expenses . After several gentlemen had addressed the Conference , Mr . G . Dawson moved a vote of thanks to the President and other officers of the Association , to which Sin Joshua Walmslbt responded . After a vote of thanks to the business committee , the Chairman announced that the Conference was at an end for all business purposes , and the delegates then separated .

It was resolved to hold a meeting in the Trinity Chapel , Morpeth-street , Bethnal-green , on Wednesday evening , Afay the Sth , and that the Rev . Mr . Worrall be requested to preside . Slanderous Reports . —The Secretary reported that certain parties in London , had written to several persons in the country , averring that " The National
Charter Association" could not keep its existence for a fortni g ht , some of the gentlemen so addressed , had transmitted the letters so sent to them . The committee deeming such slanders beneath its notice , passed to the order of the day . A letter was read from the delegates ofthe Lancashire and Yorkshire meeting , wishing for one of the members of the Provisional Committee to attend the meeting at Hebden-bvidge , on the 26 th of May next , and Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds was deputed to attend . Arrangements were made to hold " The Kentish Demonstration" at the Bat and Ball , Cricket Grounds , Gravcsend , on the day of the aquatic excursion , Whit-Tuesday . The Parliamentary Reform Conference and tlie Chartists . —Mr . Reynolds said , in accordance with the several promises he had made , he had submitted his resolutions to the Conference
and which will be found under that head , but that Conference was a trumperymockery , not a number of persons met to confer together , but apparently some few assembled for the purpose of being talked at from the platform . It was a miserable apology , when compared with the Conventions and Conferences of the Chartists . He had no opportunity on the first day of its sitting , except to refer his resolutions to the Busmess Committee , who had rejected them , but the second day ( Wednesday ) , at two o ' clock , he obtained the ear and eye of " the President , read , and asked permission to introduce the resolutions ; but the motion , which was seconded by Mr . Leblord , was lost by an immense majority . After the transaction of some other routine business , the committee adjourned until Thursday evening , May 2 nd .

" " That a delegate meeting of Yorkshire and Lancashire be held at Hebden Bridge , on Sunday , the 26 th of May , for the purpose of bringing the Chartist mind of those two important counties to bear upon the political questions of the day , and to concentrate Chartism on a more sure and solid foundation , and that one of the Provisional Committee be requested to attend .

TO the editor op the northern star . 5 , Pepper-street , Union-street , Borough , April 17 th , 1850 . Dear Sin , —It was with great surprise I found in the place of my report of the Lambeth branch of the National Land Company , a garbled account , containing gross falsehoods from beginning to end . I should have thought that the preference ought to have been given to the official account , sent by me , as secretary , with the real business that occurred , not to an account written in party spirit , as is evidently evinced by the Tramer ot the false report . Robert Henry Side , Sec .
Lambeth Branch . —At a meeting , held at Mr . Side's house , April 7 th , Mr . R . Florence was elected chairman , and the minutes of the previous meeting were confirmed . R . H . Side moved , and Mr . A . J . Side seconded— " That the resolution past at the last monthly meeting , ( referring to the resignation of tho four directors , namely , Messrs . Doyle , Dixon , Clark , and M'Grath , ) be rescinded , seeing that common honesty alone , leaving everything else out of the question , would prompt us to do justice to those who have done for our benefit so much ; and as we elected them to carry on the affairs of the Company to a successful issue , we cannot imagine how any one can call on them to resign . " Mr . Burgess moved , as an amendment , Mr . Thorn seconded— " That the resolution be not
rescinded . The amendment was carried by the casting vote of the chairman , there being R . Side , W . Side , A . J . Side , and R . II . Side , for tlie resolution ; and J . Thorn , Burgess , Colson , and Hampshire , for the amendment . Mr . Edwards moved , Mr . Thorn seconded— " That the following resolution , passed at the last monthly meeting ( 'That in the opinion of this meeting wo call upon the four Directors to resign , in order to lessen the expenses of the Company' ) be sent to Mr . O'Connor . " Mr . R . Side moved as an amendment , Mr . W . Side seconded—'' Thatthe resolution bo not sent to Mr . O'Connor . " The resolution was carried . M . R . Side moved , Mr . R . H . Side seconded— " That the names of the persons present , and how they voted , be sent with the resolution
. " Mr . Colson moved , as an amendment— " That the numbers be not sent . " The amendment was carried * . The reason for sending the number of persons present at the previous monthly meeting to Mr . O'Connor was to show , that out of a locality of from between three and four hundred members , the following "cntlenien , Mr . Thorn , Wright , Burgess , ( W . Small , not a member of this locality . ) Drew , W . Savage , W Hewitt , B . Savage , H . Edwards , R . H . Side , and R . Florence , only were there .

Monday, April 22. '""' ' .' ,. House Of ...
MONDAY , April 22 . '" "' ' . ' ,. HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Duke of Richmond moved fur a select committee to inquire into / the operation ofthe Act for Preventing the Importation of Cattle and Sheep Infected with Contagious or Infectious Diseases , with a view of rendering its provisions more effective . After a few words from Earl Granville , the motion was agreed to . The Marquis of Westmeath" then named the members of the select committee appointed to inquire into the allegations of tho petition of the board of guardians of tho union of Carrick-on-Shannon . . Their Lordships-then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-SAviNGs BANKS—The Chancellor ofthe Exchequer gave notice that on Monday next he proposed to move-for leave to bring in a Bill—which he had not been able to do previously—for the Regulation of Savings Banks . ,
Stamp Duties . —The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated ^ as the determination of the government relative to the Stamp Duties Bill , formed after duly deliberating upon the vote of a previous evening , that a rate of Is ' , per cent , would bo adopted on all bonds of value below JE 50 ; Is . 0 d . per cent , being charged between £ 50 and ± 200 ; and 5 s . per cent , from that latter sum up to £ 100 , 000 , when the progression of charge was to cease , making the highest stamp on transactions of any value £ 250 . Colonial Constitutions . —Tho House then resolved itsolf again into committee upon tho Australian Colonies Government Bill , resuming the discussion of its details at the seventh clause .
On the 13 th clause , which authorised the governors and councils of the respective colonies , subject to tho provisions relating to the General Assembly , to make laws for their government , and for appropriating the revenue of each colony , provided that they , do not interfere with the Crown lands therein , Mr . E . Denison moved an amendment giving power to the Legislatures of the several colonies to dispose of tbe waste lands of the Crown therein . Lord J . Russell , referring to tho Land Sales Act of 1842 , observed that it had been considered that
if each colony were to have its own system of disposing of the waste lands , there would be no uniformity ; the plan of Mr . Denison would , in that view of the case be objectionable . But , upon reconsideration , he admitted that there were objections to the Federal Legislature having the power ot disposing of the waste lands , and , on the whole , as it was not likely that the Federal Assembly would soon come into operation , he thought it would be better not to introduce any clauses upon the subject ofthese lands into the bill , but to leave the whole question as it now stood under tho Land Sales Act .
Mr . Roebuck suggested a change in the appropriation of the lands , as directed by the act of 1842 , by narrowly defining the limits of each colony , and within those limits leaving : the appropriation of lands to the colony , but reserving all land beyond the limits to the discretion of the Crown . Sir J . Graham , and other members , thought this suggestion highly worthy of consideration , and recommended it to the attention of the government . Mr . E . Denison withdrew his amendment , reserving the power of renewing it , if necessary , on the report . Mr . C . Ldshington , on clause seventeen being proposed , moved an amendment , removing from her Majesty any discretion over , or power of altering , the sums that might be voted by tho colonial legislature for the purposes of public worship . The interference of the home government with the provision for religious establishments in the colonies , he denounced as a violation of the liberty of con-¦
science . " ' , ''' Mr . Labouchere opposed tho amendment , because it would overthrow a system which was producing the most admirable results in the colony . Mr . Roebuck , objecting to the arbitrary assumption of authority by the home administration over the funds \ p be appropriated to public worship , extended his objection to a variety of salaries and allowances wliich , as the bill enacted , were to be paid at the pleasure of the ministry out of the colonists . He promised to move some considerable amendments wkn the schedule came under
dis-. Mr . Bright considered that religion was the subject least fit for interference by parties who must necessarily act in ignorance and at a distance . Mr . Labouchere explained that the bill merely retained the practice as it already stood , and should not be changed without good cause shown , or a definite expression of opinion in the colony . Mr . SevmkR disapproved ofthe clause as it stood , not because it was arbitrary , but because it was impartial . It endowed four churches in assumed equality , and encouraged religious discords . After some remarks from Mr .. Chisholm Anstet , the committee divided :
For the clause ... 200 For the amendment 54 Majority — Majority
—149 The Chairman then reported progress , with leave to proceed on Thursday , The Parliamentary Voters ( Ireland ) Bill was committed pro forma , in order that some amended clauses might be printed . The Metropolitan Interments Bill was road a second time , as was the Railway Abandonment Bill . The Naval Prize Balance afterwards went through committee . On the motion to appoint a select committee upon public salaries , consisting ot Lord J . Russell , Mr . W . Fatten , Mr . Bright , Sir J . Y . Buller , Mr . Cobden , Mr . Beckett , Mr . Napier , Mr . Home Drummond , Mr . W . Evans , Sir W . Molesworth , Mr . Henley , Mr , Ellice , Mr . Ricardo , Mr . Walter , and Mr . Deedes ,
Colonel Sibthorp rose amidst much laughter , and observed , that instead of appointing this " select" committee ( a laugh ) the noble lord at the head ofthe Government had better have said candidly" I mean to take care of myself , and of my own salary . " ( Laughter . ) "I shall look after my friends , and I will stand by them as long as they stand by me ; uli mel , ibiapes . ( Renewedlaughter . ) Let them support me , and they shall have plenty of turtle and venison . " ( Laughter . ) He ( Colonel Sibthorp ) felt hound to protest against such a
partial and packed committee as that now proposed . There seemed to him to be something in the atmosphere of the Treasury bench which rendered men , when they got there , quite different beings from what they had been before . ( A laugh . ) It was his painful duly to say , that he locked with extreme suspicion upon all official men ; and in such a case as this , it was not likely that they would cry " stinkingfish . " ( Much laughter . ) He did not know how the committee would go to work , but he knew very well what would be the result of their investigation . He considered the appointment of such a committee most delusive and
unsatisfactory . He entertained great respect for the noble lord ( Lord J . Russell ) in private life , and he admired his transcendent abilities , though he was somewhat cunning ; but it was evident that this step was only a ruse de guerre , and that the noble lord did not want to be disturbed in his nest . The noble lord was attempting to get rid of one of tlie most important questions that could he considered , especially under the existing circumstances of the country , when poverty was staring them in the face , and people of all classes were suffering . If the noble lord really meant to reduce salaries why
did he not come forward fearlessly and submit to the House those reductions , which in his opinion , ought to be made ? But the noble lord said , " You shall not consider the matter in the House ; it shall he inquired into upstairs , claim ' s foiibus , " He ( Colonel Sibthorp ) considered that tlio noble lord's conduct , in thus referring the subject to a secret conclave—a Star Chamber—was unworthy a Minister of this country , and was an insult to the British House of Commons . ( A laugh . ) Ho called upon tho noble lord to give up this truckling , secret , underhand , Star Chamber , mode of proceeding , and to take up tho position ho ought to
maintain . The motion was agreed to . Mr . Labouchere brought in the Mercantile Marine Bill , which was read a first time . The House adjourned at twenty minutes to one o ' clock .
TUESDAY , April 23 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lordly Doorkeepers . — The Duke of Richmond , as chairman of the committee appointed to inquire into the foes and salaries received by offices of the house , laid their report on the table . The noble Duke then explained tho principles adopted by the committee in their report , which had been to avoid recommending paltry savings in well-deserved salaries , but at the same time to animadvert strongly on the extravagant emoluments derived from certain offices , among which ho especially mentioned that of doorkeeper . Ho called attention to the amount of remuneration which had been received by one of their doorkeepers who died last autumn , and who had been in possession of his office from thsyear 1836
to tho year 1849 . His fees in tho four lowest years of his tenure of office had been £ 723 , £ 724 , ' £ 401 , and £ 772 , and in the four highest had been £ 834 , £ 1 , 272 , £ 2 , 570 , and £ 1 , 594 . Another " gentleman " doorkeeper who from ill health , had not been ahlo to attend for some years paid a duply £ 150 a-year for doing his duty . Tho committee proposed that all fees paid to them by peers , by the editors of newspapers , and tho East India Company should henceforth cease ; and tho necessity for this would be more apparent when he informed their lordships that tho body of Quakers paid the doorkeepers ' an annual fee of £ 5 for no other reason that he could imagine than this—that they took of their hats , which tho Quakers themselves refused to remove in deference to their lordships . The committee proposed that the ' officers and servants ofthe House of Lords should no longer receive any fees ,
Monday, April 22. '""' ' .' ,. House Of ...
but should he properly-remunerated by ; fixed salaries . The only fees which the committee proposed to retain were the fees payable for the issuing of a writ of summons to members of that house . _ ' The Marquis of LansdownE ; bore . testimony to the able way in which the report had been drawn up , and to the fairness of the princip le laid down in it . - * : I .:-:,- : ; - . : ¦ . , The report was then ordered to no printed . PaoiEciioN . —The Earl of Habdwicke presented several petitions complaining , of agricultural distress : and the Earl of Malmesburv moved for a " return of the imports of wheat and wheat flour , also of barley and oats , into the UnitedJiingdom in each week since the 1 st of January , 1850 ; and of y ,,, u ahn , M hfl . tiror . erly ; remunerated by ; fiz 8 d
the average prices of each week ; and also lor tne return of tho total amount imported within the same period , distinguishing the countries from which imported ; " and repeated tho complaints of the agriculturists as to the abundant supply of corn which was pouring into the country . Perhaps the most melancholy result of the free trade measures was the change which they had wrought in the feelings of the farmers . Thoy were now beginning to find fault with the constitution and the form of the government under which they lived . By the acts of the Legislature their property had been depreciated one-third . Before the late change the price of wheat was 58 s ., it was now 38 s . But the farmers were now called upon to pay the
same taxes as before . ( Hear , hear . ) What you had done was equivalent to raising the taxation of the country from £ 50 , 000 , 0 00 to £ 67 , 000 , 000 . The farmers were beginning to ask this question . — " Is it fair to ask us to pay tho same amount of fixed salaries and annuities as we did before property was depreciated ? " Another question , also , was being asked . by them , and it was this ; — " Is it fair , that we should pay the same rate of interest to the public creditor as we did before ? ' ) ( Loud cries of " Hear . ") Such questions as those must cause capitalists who had been instrumental in bringing about the repeal ofthe corn laws to ponder whether they had acted wisely or not . The noble eavl concluded by submitting his
motion . The Duke of Richmond bore testimony to the truth of everything which had fallen from the noble earl . Agriculture had never been more depressed than it was at tho present moment . The farmers ef England had always been distinguished for their loyalty , but he warned their lordships not to drive those unfortunate men to desperation . He knew large tracts of country in which the small farmers who long maintained themselves and their families by the exercise of honest industry , were reduced to pauperism , and many had actually been obliged to take refuge in the workhouse . ( Hear , hear . ) He hoped that the great body of farmers would remain firm in their loyalty , but it was impossible they could continue to pay the taxes to which they were subjected . It was unfair to single out the agricultural interest as an object of plunder , whilst the
public creditor and all other classes were left in undisturbed possession of their property . Nothing short of protection would do , unless the great bulk ofthe property and the taxation ofthe country was to be swept away . Unfortunately the right rev . prelates had fixed incomes —( a laugh)—they could not be touched ; but the farmers complained bitterly that they were compelled to pay tithe composition founded on an average of 56 s . ( Hear , hear . ) He would not enter further into the subject at that time , but he had stated enough to show that there would be plenty of agitation before long . The Marquis of Lansdowne declined to enter at length into the question raised by the Earl of Malmesbury , but would he prepared to state his views whenever the noble lord should found any proposition on the returns for which he had moved .
Lord Stanley declared his conviction that the present prices of grain were permanent , and not exceptional . He wished to know how long this frightful experiment was . to continue ? How many more hundreds of our fellow-countrymen must be ruined before the government would be convinced of its failure ? He was disposed to allow the government reasonable time for consideration , but some limit should . bo put to the sufferings which the country must undergo whilst the experiment was being tested . After some further altercation between the Marquis of Lansdowne and Lord Stanley , and some observations from Lord Beaumont and Earl Grey , the motion was agreed to . The School Districts Contribution Bill was read a third time and passed .
HOUSE OF COMMOtfS .-Mn . Smith O'Bbien , —Sir L . O'Brien , with reference to accounts which have appeared in the newspapers relative to alleged harsh treatment to which his brother had been subjected in Yan Diemen ' s Land , inquired , injustice to the right hon . gentleman opposite and for the satisfaction of those interested , if he had an objection to produce any despatches he might have on the subject , showing what really was the treatment his brother had received . Sir G . Grey replied , that despatches had been received announcing the arrival of the Irish prisoners in Van Diemen ' s Land , and the course pursued with regard to them . He had no objection to produce the papers . Reform of the Universities . —Mr . Hbywood
moved an address to the Crown , praying that her Majesty would issue a Commission of Inquiry into the state of the Universities and Colleges of Oxford Cambridge , and Dublin , with a view to the adaptation of those institutions to the requirements of modern times . Some of the colleges , he observed , where the number of students was very small , had enormous incomes , and it would be for the benefit of tho institutions themselves that a thorough investigation should be made into the administration
of their funds . Many of the colleges were prohibited . by their statutes from making alterations , and an inquiry made by a royal commission was a legitimate mode of proceeding . The cxclusiveness of the university libraries , the discipline and course of study ofthe universities , their neglect of native literature , the ceremony of matriculation and granting of degrees , the tenure and management of the college lands , especially in Ireland , were all , he thought , matters demanding inquiry and reform ; and it was because he believed the universities could not do it
themselves that he brought forward tnis motion for a commission by the Crown , whose right and prerogative it was to name visitors and commissioners to inquire into the state of our ancient universities . Sir R . Inglis , in opposing tho motion , denied the right of that house , until a , prima facie case was alleged against these institutions , to ask the Crown to interfere . He did not dispute the Crown's visitatorial power ; but this was not an arbitrary power , and before a proposition of this kind could be entertained by the house , which Mr . Heywood had failed to adduce . Mr . J . W . Fortesque and Mr . W . Fagan , supported tho motion .
Mr . Napier vindicated Trinity College , which was founded by a Protestant , Queen Elizabeth , from the charge of illiberality made by Mr . Pagan towards Roman Catholics , who had no grievance to complain of ; and with reference to the motion , contended that there was no need of a commission ; that every species of useful science and sound learning was amply provided for at that University , whose estates were not worse managed than those of other Irish proprietors . He was answered by
Mr . Sadleir , who inveighed against the abuses of Dublin University and its exclusive system of education ; remarking that the mere fact that its estates of 230 , 000 acres produced a revenue of only £ 29 , 000 was sufficient to justify inquiry , independently of the wretchedness and immorality existing on the collegiate lands . After speeches from Mr . Hamilton and Colonel Thompson , Lord J . Russell , said , he . thought it necessary that tho views which tho Government took of this motion should be stated to tho House ; and in the first place , it was impossible for him to agree with a motion in such a form as had induced Sir R . Inglis to characterize it as a bill of indictment against the
universities , not considering that the universities were objects of accusation by the great majority of the country . The question of the admission of Dissenters into tho universities , which was a question Of principle , and for Parliament to decide , should be kept apart from tho improvement of tho system of education there ; and , with all respect to the universities , ho did not think there could be any objeotion on principle to tho appointment of a commission to consider their state in respect to the education they afforded , for which there were numerous precedents , and the leading persons in the universities ought not to consider it as any disparagement , He then proceeded to consider whether there was any ground of reason or expediency
why such a commission should bo appointed , and observed that of late years considerable changes had been introduced in the universities , where it was generally agreed , tho education given twenty years ago was not adequate to tho wants of the present day ; but there was this defect in those changes—that restrictions were in some cases placed by the wills of founders upon the mode of electing professors , and unless this defect could be completely removed , full effect could not be given to those changes . Ho thought it . indispensable to combine the education to be given by professors with tho ancient collegiate mode of teaching , and
. which he should be sorry to destroy ; but the restrictions he had referred to offered an obstacle to this combination . He did not antici p ate any great difficulty in attaining the object in view , but ifc could not be done by the universities themselves ; and , supposing . the object to be a desirable one , the only objection was that tho wills of founders were entitled to so much respect that they should not be contravened even for a great and important good . But the change . made at the Reformation set aside wills of founders , and moreover- the State had interfered in those changes . Then , what was there to prevent an interference so

far with the wills of the founders : as to enable colleges to place in the situation of orofeusorB the most capable men , and how was this to be accomplished ? Some might suggest by . bill ; but he owned that it appeared to him that a Royal Commission would be eminently serviceable , and that it would render the changes made by the universities themselves more complete . His intention , therefore , was not to vote for the motion ; but the Government would advise the Crown to issue a Royal Commission for the two Universities of Oxford and Cambridge , and , as the inquiry would be conducted in no unfriendly firw {^ : ^ . iii . ^^ . « g J flri : M 7 i 6 ' enable coli
spirit , he believed that the result would be beneficial to the education of tlie people of this country . Mr . Goulbuhn concurred in many parts of the noble lord ' s speech , but was at issue with him upon the subject of issuing a commission , his reasons for which were altogether unsatisfactory . Ho urged Lord John to reconsider the proposition , believing that such' a commission—which was of doubtful legality—would be fro ' rso than useless—it would be mischievous . Mr , Scully wished that Dublin University should bo included in the commission . Mr . Heywood having withdrawn his motion ,
Mr . Roundel * Palmer observed , that the course which the debate . had taken was so important that some time should ; be allowed for its consideration , [ lis opinion was that the commission would be illegal , and that it would meet the same resistance as a similar attempt of King James . He moved that the debate . be adjourned . Lord John Russell did hot object to the adjournment . Mr . Law observed ^ that the interval would allow Lord John Russell wyisOnsult the legal advisers of the Crown . ^ £ « ,. . . " The Attorney-Generaii said there had been a misconception as to the nature of the commission . If it were an Executive Commission , to force inquiry , to insist upon the production of statutes , and to compel tho attendance of witnesses , he agreed that it could not issue unless by act of Parliament . But this was not such a commission : it was merely to receive information voluntarily given .
After some further discussion the adjournment was carried by 273 against 31 . Mr . Roebuck moved for a select committee to inquire into the defalcations of Sir T . Turton , Registrar of the Supreme Court at Bengal . Sir J . Hobhouse acquiesced very cordially in the motion , which was agreed to . The other business on the paper was disposed of , and the house rose at a quarter past twelve o ' clock . WEDNESDAY , April 24 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Juvenile Offenders Bill . —Mr . Mosckton Milnes moved the second reading of this bill . He said that the measure was designed to remove from the local magistracy the flia / tt-nt . inn nf lnflirtt . inrr sifM . n / . «« n 1 n ....: » kn .. ni _ . l « i ui bvivti iiiiuvvu vviuku

Provisions for the establishment of industrial schools , to be applied to the reformation of juvenile culprits , were also contained in the bill , which the hon . member supported in a speech of great length by a largo mass of evidence and argument . Sir G . Grky opposed the measure , which he anatomised clause by clause , and argued that , if ever it came to be set to work , it would be found wholly impracticable . Sir G . Strickland also opposed the bill , and moved as an amendment , that it be read a second time that day six months . Mr . Sharman Crawford seconded the amendment .
Mr . Simeon and Mr . Headlaji supported the bill . Sir J . Pakington considered some of the provisions of the bill most . dangerous and unprecedented . Colonel Thompson denounced the cruelty and ignominy of corporal punishment , and appealed to the chronicles of Wat Tyler in proof that English reformers . had always resisted its introduction . Mr . Trelawny briefly supported the measure . After a few words from Mr . Rice , Mr . Milnes withdrew tho bill , and the amendment was agreed to without a division . Affirmation Bill . —The committal of this bill was then moved by Mr . Page Wood . He said the measure is designed to extend to the conscientious scruples to taking an oath entertained by certain members of the Established Church the same deference which is paid by the legislature to the Quaker and Moravian persuasions .
Mr . , Goulburn opposed the measure , believing that the sanctity of the oath was barely sufficient to secure the veracity of testimony so necessary to the well-being of tho public . He moved the usual formal negative to the further progress of the bill . Mr . Cockburn referred to the large class of instances _ where witnesses were restrained from giving evidence from conscientious objections to take an oath , and believed that the balance of public advantage lay on the side of a relaxation of the law . Mr . Newdegate opposed , and Sir E . N . Buxton supported the bill . The house divided . For going into committee 129

THURSDAY , April 25 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house went into committee on the Australian Colonies Government Bill , from the 17 th clause . The 30 th clause , giving permission to establish a General Assembly for the colonies , provoked much discussion , and the government were pressed to withdraw this and the three succeeding clauses , defining the constitution , powers , and functions ofthe General Assembly . Upon a division , the clause was carried by C 4 against 10 . The other clauses were agreed to without opposition , and the report was ordered to be received on Friday ( this day ) week ,
On the second reading of the Securities for Advances ( Ireland ) Bill , ( adjourned on the 15 th of April ) , Lord Naas moved that the bill bo read a second time that day six months . He considered this a step in the wrong direction , and rested his opposition to the measure on three grounds—first , that itwas a direct infringement of the principle of the bill of last session—secondly , that its provisions were not likely to effect the end in view—and , thirdly , that it was fraught with injustice to the present proprietors of Ireland . Mr . French seconded the amendment . A long discussion ensued , and , upon a division , the second reading was carried by 188 against 41 . The other business having been disposed of , the house adjourned at a quarter to one o ' clock .
( From our Third Edition of last week . ) FRIDAY , April 19 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tub National Land Company . — On the motion that the house at its rising do adjourn till Monday , Sir B . Hall rose , pursuant to the notice he had given on the preceding evening , to call upon the hon . and learned member for Nottingham for an explanation of the allusion he had then made to him ( Sir B . Hall ) . Air . F . O ' Connor rose , but The Speaker intimated that he had . thought it right to interfere on the last occasion when he hoard that the question about to be asked by the hon . and learned member related to a private and not to a public circumstance , and that being so , the matter of it was not within the cognisance of the house .
Mr . O'Connor said the only explanation he could give was , that what ho had said had arisen from a letter he had received , and which he now had with him , and the purport of which ¦ he would communicate to the hon . baronet , if he chose to have it . It appeared that the hon . baronet was allowed to put questions to him ( Mr ; O'Connor ) , but that he was not permitted to ask any in return . However , he bowed to the decision of the chair . The Speaker said he was not aware that the hon . baronet had putany questions to the hon , and learned member which were not strictly in accordance with the rules of the house . The question the hon . baronet had asked related to the decision of a committee in regard to a bill to be brought before the house while tho question put by the hon . and learned member did not relate to a matter in the cognisance of the house .
Sir B . Hall bowed to the decision of the chair ; but while he sincerely desired to show every 'defc ; rence to the house , he might at least say that if he betrayed a tendency to pugnacity on the last occasion , ifc might have been excusable on account of the manner of tho hon . gentleman . Ho would content himself with saying that he had not put any- question to the hon . and learned member that did hot relate to any public question , and although he would never make that house , devoted to public business , the scone of private and personal
discussions , yet he should not swerve from tho path of public duty he had chalked out , and , therefore , tho hon . and learned gentleman having said he had consulted competent persons as to the course he ought to pursue , he now gave notice , that on ' . Tuesday , the 30 th of April , he should ask the hon . member , witii reference to the Mil so often alluded to , when heintended to move for leave to bring in a measure for winding up tho affairs of . the National Land Company , and whether that bill would be a : public or a private one ?
.- Mr . OConnor said that if the honourable baronet chose he would answer the question at OliOO . 'Ho had told the honourable baronet yesterday , not that ho had consulted , but that he was going to consult Mr . Walmsley to day . -He had consulted that . gentleman , and was' advised that' before he could move for leave to bring in a bill he must give notice three times by advertisement in the papers circulating in the counties whore the property was situated , as well-as in tho Gazette . Perhaps tho . honourable baronet was not aware that tho question
