PRAYERS. 


MESSAGE from Her Majesty, by Mr. 
Pulman, Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod: 


Mr. Speaker, 


The Queen commands this Honourable House to 
attend Her Majesty immediately, in the House of 
Peers. 

Accordingly Mr. Speaker, with the House, went 
up to attend Her Majesty :—And being returned ; 


Mr. Speaker acquainted the House, That, in pur- 
suance of the directions of the Act passed in the 
24th year of the reign of his Majesty King George 
the Third, c. 26, he had issued a Warrant to the 
Clerk of the Crown, to make out a new Writ for 
the Election of a Member to serve in this present 
Parliament for the Borough of Oldham, in the room 
of James Platt, Esquire, deceased. 


Several Members, returned upon new Writs, took 
the Oaths required by law, and one of the said 
Members delivered to the Clerk of the House an 
account of his Qualification. 


Ordered, That there be laid before this House, 
an Account of the Gross Public Income and Expen- 
diture for the year ended the 30th day of Septem- 
ber 1857; together with the Balances in the Exche- 
quer at the commencement and at the termination of 
the year; and the Amount of Funded or Unfunded 
Debt created or redeemed in the said year. 

Mr. Wilson accordingly presented the said Ac- 


count. 
Ordered, That the said Account do lie upon the 
Table; and be printed. 


Ordered, That all persons who will question any 
Returns of Members to serve in Parliament, for any 
County, City, Borough or place in the United King- 
dom, do question the same within Fourteen days 
next, and so within Fourteen days next after any 
new Return shall be brought in. 

Ordered, That all Members who are returned for 
two or more places in any part of the United King- 





dom do make their Election for which of the places 
they will serve, within One week from and after 
the expiration of the Fourteen days before limited 
for presenting Petitions, provided there be no ques- 
tion upon the Return for that place; and if anything 
shall come in question touching the Return or Elec- 
tion of any Member, he is to withdraw during the 
time the matter is in debate; and that all Members 
returned upon double Returns do withdraw till their 
Returns are determined. 

Ordered, That all persons who shall question any 
Return of Members to serve in the present Par- 
liament, upon any allegation of Bribery and Cor- 
ruption, and who shall in their Petition specifically 
allege any payment of money or other reward to 
have been made by any Member, or on his account, 
or with his privity, since the time of such Return, in 
pursuance or in furtherance of such Bribery or Cor- 
ruption, may question the same at any time within 
Twenty-eight days after the date of such payment; 
or, if this House be not sitting at the expiration of 
the said Twenty-eight days, then within Fourteen 
days after the day when the House shall next meet. 

Resolved, That no Peer of the Realm, except such 
Peers of Ireland as shall for the time being be ac- 
tually elected, and shall not have declined to serve, 
for any County, City or Borough of Great Britain, 
hath any right to give his Vote in the Election of 
any Member to serve in Parliament. 

Resolved, That it is a high infringement of the 
liberties and privileges of the Commons of the 
United Kingdom, for any Lord of Parliament, or 
other Peer or Prelate, not being a Peer of Ireland 
at the time elected, and not having declined to serve 


for any County, City or Borough of Great Britain, 


to concern himself in the Election of Members to 
serve for the Commons in Parliament, except only 
any Peer of Ireland, at such Elections in Great 
Britain respectively, where such Peer shall appear 
as a Candidate, or by himself, or any others, be pro- 
posed to be elected; or for any Lord Lieutenant or 
Governor of any County to avail himself of any au- 
thority derived from his Commission, to mfluence 


the Election of any Member to serve for the Com- 
mons in Parliament. 

Resolved, That if it shall appear that any person 
hath been elected or returned a Member of this 
House, or endeavoured so to be, by Bribery, or any

Mr. Speaker reported, That the House had, this 
day, attended Her Majesty in the House of Peers, 
when Her Majesty was pleased to make a most 
gracious Speech from the Throne to both Houses of 

arliament ; of which Mr. Speaker said he had, for 
greater accuracy, obtained a Copy; which he read 
to the House, as followeth : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


Circumstances have recently arisen, connected 
with the commercial interests of the Country, which 
have induced Me to call Parliament together before 
the usual time. 

The failure of certain Joint Stock Banks, and of 
some Commercial Firms, produced such an extent 
of distrust as led Me to authorize My Ministers to 
recommend to the Directors of the Bank of Eng- 
land the adoption of a course of proceeding which 
appeared necessary fur allaying the prevalent alarm. 
As that course has involved a departure from the 
existing Law, a Bill for indemnifying those who 
advised and those who adopted it will be submitted 
for your consideration. 

I have observed with great regret that the dis- 
turbed state of Commercial Transactions in general 
has occasioned a diminution of employment in the 
manufacturing districts, which, I tear, cannot fail 
to be attended with much local distress. I trust, 
however, that this evil may not be of long duration ; 
and the abundant Harvest with which it has gra- 
ciously pleased Divine Providence to bless this land 
will, Eien, in some degree mitigate the sufferings 
which this state of things must unavoidably produce. 

While I deeply deplore the severe suffering to 
which many of My subjects in India have been 
exposed, and while I grieve for the extensive 
bereavements and sorrow which it has caused, I 
have derived the greatest satisfaction from the dis- 
tinguished successes which have attended the heroic 
exertions of the comparatively small forces which 
have been opposed to greatly superior numbers, 
without the ad of the powerful reinforcements de- 
spatched from this Country to their assistance. The 
arrival of those reinforcements will, | trust, speedily 
complete the suppression of this widely-spread 
Revolt. 

The gallantry of the Troops employed against the 
Mutineers, their courage in action, their endurance 
under privation, fatigue, and the effects of climate, 
the high spirit and self-devotion of the Officers, the 
ability, skill, and persevering energy of the Com- 
manders, have excited My warmest admiration; and 
I have observed with equal gratification that many 
Civilians placed in extreme difficulty and danger 
have displayed the highest qualities, including, in 
some instances, those that would do honour to 
veteran Soldiers. 

It is satisfactory to know that the general mass 
of the population of Jndia have taken no part in the 
Rebellion, while the most considerable of the Native 
Princes have acted in the most friendly manner, and 
have rendered important services.

not be of long duration, and that the abundant 
Harvest with which it has graciously pleased Divine 
Providence to bless this land will in some degree

To assure Her Majesty that while we join with 
Her in deploring the severe suffering to which many 
of Her subjects in India have been exposed, and in 
lamenting the extensive bereavements and sorrow 
which have been caused, we share in the satisfaction 
which She has derived from the distinguished suc- 
cesses which have attended the heroic exertions of

aid of the powerful reinforcements despatched from 
this Country to their assistance ; and that we trust,

That in the case of the Hampstead Heath Park ®¢Por) 


Bill, they had agreed to the following Special 
Report :-— 

The Committee, having carefully considered the 
cdse, have decided to negative the Preamble of the 
Bill; but, as they are strongly impressed with the 
public utility of the proposed Purchase of Hamp- 
stead Heath for the purposes of the recreation and 
health of the labouring classes of the Metropolis, 
they wish to impress upon the Metropolitan Board 
of Works the urgent necessity of taking the matter 
into their serious attention, with the view of securing 
Hampstead Heath for the public without any unne- 
cessary delay, as, owing to the peculiar circumstances 
of the case, the Committee much fear that the selling 
price of the property will be largely increased if 
deferred much longer.

Mersey Docks Sir Benjamin Hall reported from the Committee 

ee Wale ) on Group J. of Private Bills; That in the case of the 

Bill. Mersey Docks and Harbour (New Works) Bill, 
they had examined the allegations contained in 
the Preamble of the Bill, and amended the same, 
by striking out the recital referring to the extension 
of the North River Wall on the Liverpool side of the 
River Mersey ; and found the same, as amended, to 
be true; that a Report from the Board of Trade, 
dated in April 1858, on the subject of the said Bill, 
had been referred to the Committee, who have con- 
sidered the observations and recommendations 
therein contained, and with regard to the periods 
for executing the new Works, to the appropriation 
of Land on the South Reserve to the Great Western, 
London and North Western, and Birkenhead, Lan- 
cashire and Cheshire Junction Railway Companies, 
to the omission of the Power to make the sea-wall 
at the north end of the Liverpool Docks, to the 
purchase of premises of the Birkenhead Railway 
Company adjacent to the Great Float, and to the 
purchase from the Corporation of Liverpvol of its 
reversion in property at Birkenhead; and have 
amended the Bilt in reference to the views expressed 
in the Report; they have not, however, thought it 
fit to settle by the Bill the terms or principles in 
which such purchases should be made, conceiving 
that those are points which might reasonably be left 
to the Parties themselves to arrange; they have also 
considered the observations contained in the said 
Report, in regard to the policy of deferring the 
execution of the northern entrances at Birkenhead, 
until it is seen how the other entrances work; but 
the Committee, after considering the circumstances 
of the case, have come to the conclusion, not to make 
any special Provision in that respect; they have also 
considered the recommendations in the Report of the 
Admiralty in regard to this Bill, and have inserted 
Clauses accordingly; and had gone through the 
Bill, and made Amendments thereunto. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table. 
uy Docks Sir Benjamin Hall reported from the Committee 
Consclidarsn 08 Group J. of Private Bills; That in the case of 
of Acts) Bill. the Mersey Docks and Harbour (Consolidation of 

Acts) Bill, they had examined the allegations con- 
tained in the Preamble of the Bill, and amended 


7° Maii. 157 


the same, by correcting the recital of the Act 
20 &amp; 21 Vic. c. 162, and by adding a recital 
stating the expediency of repealing 5 Geo. 4, c. 73, 
“ An Act for the better regulation and encouragement 
of Pilots of the Port of Liverpool,” pursuant to the 
Instruction of the House on the Petition for addi- 
tional Provision ; and found the same, as amended, 
to be true; that a Report from the Board of 
Trade, dated in April 1858, on the subject of this 
Bill has been referred by the House to the Com- 
mittee, who have considered the observations and 
recommendations therein contained, and have 
adopted such of them as they considered neces- 
sary or applicable to the circumstances of the case ; 
with regard to the clause “ Remedy in collision 
cases,” referred to in such Report, they have 
altered the Provision by reducing the amount to 
be recovered befure a Justice from £.100 to £.50, 
and omitting the Proviso which rendered the master 
of the vessel liable, although she was in charge of 
a pilot, but still making the clause applicable to 
all persons doing damage to vessels in the port; 
with regard to the Rock Perch Lighthouse they have 
not altered the position of the Board or that of the 
Corporation of Liverpool in regard to their re- 
spective rights and duties in reference to the Light- 
house ; the property in the Lighthouse is stated to 
belong to the Corporation, who it appears have ex- 
pended a large sum of money in erecting it, and 
they are not consenting to transfer it absolutely to 
the Board, but Provision has been made for main- 
taining the Light; with regard to the pilotage of 
the Port, they have placed it under the control of 
the Board, to be managed by a special committee, 
not exceeding twelve in number, one-third of whom 
shall be persons familiar with the duties and qualifi- 
cations of pilots, and not members of the Board, and 
which committee is to be deemed a committee of the 
Board for pilotage purposes only, and will thereby 
become subject to the general supervision of the 
nominating body; they have also, under the cir- 
cumstances, thought it convenient to insert in the 
Bill the whole code of laws applicable to the Ziver- 
pool pilots, without rendering a reference to the 
Merchants’ Shipping Act in that respect necessary ; 
they have also not thought it necessary to make 
any special alteration in regard to the differential 
pilotage charge on foreign ships, part of which 
charge has now to be paid out of the Public Ex- 
chequer, as the Committee did not consider that 
such Provisions should be made in a Bill which was 
promoted under the special requirements of an Act 
of the last Session of Parliament for the consolida- 
tion of certain local Statutes; with regard to the 
Town Dues, they have not thought it expedient to 
open the question of Town Dues, or to determine their 
amount, or to declare that the Board should have an 
undisputed Parliamentary title to levy them, but have 
inserted a clause requiring the Board to revise them 
within twelve months after the passing of the Act, 
subject to the approval of the Board of Trade, leaving 
the whole question as to the legality or otherwise of 
levying such dues untouched; with regard to the 
River clause referred to in such Report, they have not 
adopted the line suggested thereby, but have struck 
a line from the Rock Ferry slip on the Cheshire 
shore of the Mersey to the southern end of the 
Harrington Docks at Liverpool, which they con- 
sider will amply meet the requirements of the case ; 
that, pursuant to the Instruction of the House, they 
had made Provision in the Bill; and had gone 
through the Bill, and made Amendments there- 
unto. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table.

Lord John Russell reported from the Committee 
appointed to draw up Reasons to be offered to the 
Lords at a Conference for disagreeing to the Amend- 
ments made by their Lordships to the Oaths Bill ; 
That they had drawn up Reasons accordingly, which 
they had directed him to report to the House :— And 
the same were read, as follow: 

Ist. Because the words “ on the true faith 
of a Christian” were originally introduced in 
the Oaths to be taken by Members of Par- 
liament with a view to bind certain Roman 
Catholics, and were not intended for the pur- 
pose of excluding persons of the Jewish per- 
suasion. 

2d. Because the exclusion of British sub- 
jects from Seats in Parliament and Offices in 
the State, on the ground of their religious 
opinions, is contrary to the general maxims of 
freedom of conscience. 

3d. Because no charge of disloyalty or un- 
fi‘ness for public employment and a fair share 
of legislative power has been alleged, or can be 
alleged, against the Jewish community. 

4th. Because the infliction of disabilities upon 
any class of Her Majesty’s subjects solely on 
the ground of their conscientious adherence to 
their faith savours of persecution, and is totally 
inconsistent with those principles of religious 
liberty which, in the case of more powerful 


13° Mazz. 





A. 1858. 


communities, have been applied by Parliament 
with such happy effects. 

5th. Because the Commons having already on 
ten previous occasions, and in five Parliaments, 
passed Bills for removing the civil disabilities 
of the Jews, and having of late years agreed to 
such Bills by constantly increasing majorities, 
are convinced that the opinion of their consti- 
tuents and of the country at large has been 
irrevocably pronounced in favour of the removal 
of such disabilities. 

6th. Because such Bills have been supported 
by many of the most eminent Members of both 
Houses of Parliament, who, while differing upon 
other political questions, have concurred in the 
justice and expediency of measures for the relief 
of the Jews. 

7th. Because the rights of the Electors of the 
United Kingdom have been peculiarly affected 
by a Law which has been construed to prevent 
the admission to the House of Commons of 
Persons who have been lawfully returned as 
Members of that House. 

8th. Because the Ist and 3d clauses of the 
Bill are open to the construction that the New 
Oath which the former of them contains should 
be taken, not only in all cases where the Oaths 
of Allegiance, Supremacy and Abjuration are 
now required, but also where the Oaths of Al- 
legiance and Supremacy are at present required, 
though without the Oath of Abjuration; the 
result of which construction, if the Bill should 
pass into law without the fifth clause, would 
be to exclude the Jews from practising as Soli- 
citors and Barristers, and from offices under the 
Crown, to which employments and offices they 
are now admitted. 

9th. Because such result would be contrary 
to the intention of the two Houses of Parlia- 
ment, appearing from the sixth clause and from 
the title of the Bill under consideration. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, 
were agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Conference be desired with the 
Lords upon the subject-matter of the Amendments 
made by their Lordships to the said Bill: And that 
the Clerk do go to the Lords, and desire the said 
Conference.

demning in strong terms the conduct of the Go- 
vernor ecseats and is of opinion that such a course

resistance of those who are in arms against us ;

Question, by leaving out from the word “ House a

whilst in its present state of information it abstains 
from expressing an opinion on the policy of any 
Proclamation which may have been issued by the 
Governor General of ZJndia in relation to Oude, has 
seen with regret and serious apprehension that Her 
Majesty’s Government have addressed to the Go- 
vernor General, through the Secret Committee of 
the Court of Directors, and have published, a De- 
spatch condemning in strong terms the conduct of 
the Governor General ; and is of opinion that such 
a course on the part of the Government must tend, 
in the present circumstances of India, to produce 
the most prejudicial effect, by weakening the 
authority of the Governor General, and encouraging 
the further resistance of those who are in arms 
against us; and which Amendment was, to leave 
out from the word “House” to the end of the 
Question, in order to add the words “ generally

tions; which were read, as follow : 

1. ‘That as the Territories under the Government

of such Government to the Crown should now take 
place, in order that the direct Superintendence of 
the whole Empire may be placed under one Exe- 
cutive Authority. 

2. That for this purpose it is expedient to pro- 
vide that Her Majesty, by one of the responsible 
Ministers of the Crown, shall have and perform all 
the Powers and Duties relating to the Government 
and Revenues of India, which are or may be now 
exercised and performed by the Eust India Com- 
pany, or by the Court of Directors or Court of 
Proprietors of the said Company, either alone or 
with the approbation of the Commissioners for the 
Affairs of Zadia. 

3. That in order to assist such Minister of the 
Crown in the discharge of his duties, it is expedient

MM 3 Sir 


270 1° Julie. A, 1858. 


Sir De Lacy Evans reported from the said Com- 
mittee; That they had considered the matters to 
them referred, and had come to several Resolu- 
tions, which they had directed him to report to 
the House, together with the Minutes of the Evi- 
dence taken before them, and an Appendix: — 
And the Resolutions of the Committee were read, 
as follow: 

1. That the Inquiry which this Committee has 
been appointed to conduct may be divided into 
three branches: the first, relating to the Overland 
Route to India; the second, to the employment of 
Steamers, as compared with Sailing Vessels, for the 
Transport of Troops round the Cape of Good Hope ; 
and the third, to the use made during the Mutiny 
of the Military resources of this country and of the 
Colonies. 

2. That the Court of Directors appear from the 
first intelligence of the Mutiny at Meerut to have 
been sensible of the advantages of the Overland 
Route, and to have Jost no time in recommending 
its adoption; but that political and other con- 
siderations deterred Her Majesty’s Ministers from 
at once assenting to that recommendation. 

3. That the Committee cannot judge of the 
validity of those political objections, as they felt 
themselves precluded from inquiring into them; but 
that they ceased to prevail in the first week of 
September, when the more serious character of the 
war and the lateness of the season for ships departing 
for Calcutta, led to a formal requisition from the 
Court of Directors, and to a compliance with it on | 
the part of the Cabinet. 

4. That it would have been desirable, indepen- 
dently of political considerations, to have taken 
advantage of the Overland Route at the earliest 
possible period, and, apart from such considerations, 
it is much to be regretted that the steps that were 
taken in September to transmit sma!l bodies of 
troops by this route were not resorted to at an 
earlier date. That the transport, however, of any 
large body of troops would have required previous 
arrangements, and that the evidence laid before the 
Committee leaves great room to doubt whether any 
considerable reinforcements could have been sent in 
the months of July and August, with a prospect of 
their arrival in India so far in advance of those 
sent round the Cape as to give any great advantage 
in favour of this route. * 

5. That although the Overland Route may be 
advantageously employed in times of emergency, it 
would not be advisable that it should be relied upon 
as the ordinary route for the transmission of truops 
to India. 

6. That if Steamers had been used in greater 
numbers, the reinforcements would have reached 
India more quickly than they did by Sailing Vessels ; 
but that no evidence has been laid before the Com- 
mittee to show that, at the time the emergency arose, 
a greater amount of Steam transport was attainable, 
whilst it has been shown that grave doubts existed 
whether the supply of coal on the route would have 
been sufficient for a larger number of Steam Vessels 
than were actually employed. 

7. That Steamers should for the future be always 
made use of, as far as possible, in urgent cases; but 
that, for the transmission of the ordinary reliefs the 
Committee would not recommend the adoption of 
so costly a mode of transport. 

8. That the Governors of Ceylon and the Mau- 
ritius gave early and valuable assistance to the 
Government of Jndia, and deserve great praise for 
the zeal and promptitude with which they acted ; 
that the Governor of the Cape, without loss of time, 
forwarded treasure and horses, together with a 
portion of the troops at his disposal, but that he did 
not send the whole amount of the force which he 
was instructed by the Home Government to trans- 
mit to India; that the Committee have not the 
means of judging whether the circumstances of the 





colony did or did not justify Sir George Grey in 
taking this course. 

9. That the Committee observe with satisfaction 
that the people of Canada displayed great readiness 
to afford assistance to the Mother Country; and 
that the Committee are of opinion that it is highly 
desirable to give every encouragement to such de- 
monstrations of loyalty on the part of the colonies. 

10. That on the whole, considering the sudden- 
ness of the danger, and the distance to which the 
troops were to be sent, the Committee are of opinion 
that great credit is due to the Court of Directors of 
the East India Company for the promptitude and 
efficiency with which they discharged the difficult 
task of transmitting reinforcements to the Army in 
India same we past year. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table ;

at the Private Bill Ottice and at the Board of Trade 
on or before the 23d of December, previous to_ the 
next Session of Parliament. 

2. That the Examiners of Petitions for Private 
Bills commence their sittings on the 18th of January, 
and that they be directed by Mr. Speaker to make 
such arrangement for the examination of Petitions 
as shall facilitate the introduction of Private Bills 
at as early a period as possible in each Session.

both Houses, except the Wharnceliffe Order, be 
proved before the introduction of a Railway Bill

for a portion of the private business of each Session 
being commenced in the House of Lords.

tolls and charges for services performed, and are 
not in the nature of a tax.

House of Commons should have the power of exa-

ders with regard to Notices to Landowners and Oc-

Stade Tolls. 
No. 429. 


Mercurii, 14° die Julii ; 
Anno 22° Victoria Regine, 1858. 


PRAYERS. 

RDERED, That the Select Committee on 

the Stade Tolls have Power to report their 
Opinion thereupon to the House, together with the 
Minutes of the Evidence taken before them. 

Mr. Henley reported from the said Committee ; 
That they had considered the matters to them 
referred, and come to several Resolutions, which 
they had directed him to report to the House, 
together with the Minutes of the Evidence taken 
before them, and an Appendix ; and the Resolutions 
of the Committee were read, as follow: 

1. That the foundation of the claim of Hanover 
to levy the Stade Toll was a Treaty with Denmark 
in 1719 a.v., by which, whatever right to levy such 
Toll Denmark possessed, was transferred to the 
Elector of Hanover. 


2. That the proportion of Stade Toll to freight ; and ordered to lie upon the Table. 


in British ships trom Hull to Hamburg is, at the 
present time, on a bale of spun silk, 115 per cent. ; 
on a bale of cotton goods, 142 per cent.; and ona 
hale of woollen yarn, 26 per cent. That the average 
annual amount of Stade Tolls levied on cargoes, 
under the British tlag, has risen from £.3. 10s. 
per 100 tons British in 1847, to £.4. 6s. 4d. in 
1855. 

3. That the increase on British tonnage entering 
the port of Hamburg has been 102 per cent. since 


14° Julz. 








A. 1858. 


The House proceeded to take into consideration Hove Im. 
the Amendment made by the Lords to the Hove es 
Improvement Bill; and the same was twice read, - 
and agreed to. 
| Ordered, That the Clerk do carry the Bill to the 
Lords ; and acquaint them, that this House hath 
agreed to the Amendment made by their Lord- 
ships. 


Ordered, That it be an Instruction to the Com- Stearne’s 
mittee of Selection, That they have Power to appoint Charities Bil. 
| the Committee on Stearne’s Charities Bill to meet 
|; on any day not earlier than Seven clear days after 
' the second reading of the Bill, provided that Three 
clear days’ notice be given of the meeting of such 
| Committee. 





Ordered, That in the case of Davidson’s Estate Davidson's 
Bill, the Examiner of Petitions for Private Bills tte Bill. 
have leave to sit and proceed forthwith. 


| Several Public Petitions were presented, and read; Public 
Petitions. 


| Vide Forty. 
eighth Report. 
Mr. Speaker laid upon the Table,—Report from Davidson's 
‘one of the Examiners of Petitions for Private Bills, ®state Bill. 
That in the case of Davidson’s Estate Bill, no 
Standing Orders are applicable. j 
Ordercd, That the Bill be read a second time. 


Ordered, That there be laid before this House, Bankrupts’ 
a Return of the Number of Applications for Bank- Certificates. 


1849, while the increase on Hamburg tonnage has _rupts’ Certificates heard before each Commissioner, 


been 248 per cent. since 1849; and the foreign 
/ ’ Fal 


during each of the last Five years, until the 5th 


tonnage, exclusive of British and Hamburg, enter-| day of July 1858, showing the Number granted 
4 nf 2 ac _ ° « | f ° ° " ’ 5 
ing the port of Hamburg, has, during the same | (distinguishing the Classes), the Number suspended, 


period, increased 99 per cent. 

4. That the Stade Toll is injurious to the Trade | 
and Shipping of the United Kingdom. 

5. That the Tax is specially prejudicial to the | 
part of our produce and trade which has to com- | 
pete in Foreign Markets with similar articles not 
subject to the Tax, and this is felt sensibly in the 
Coal Trade, and particularly in the Export of the 
less valuable descriptions of Coal. 

6. That goods, the property of Hamburg Citizens, 
and carried in Hamburg ships, are exempt from the 
Stade Toll, and British ships are thereby exposed 
to an unfair competition. 

7. That the general trade to Hamburg, notwitl- 
standing the discouragement occasioned by the 
Tax, has more than doubled within the last Ten 
years. 

8. That the trade to Hamburg, which is free 
from Stade Toll, has risen in a still more striking 
ratio; that of Bremen, the Llsfleth Toll on the 
Weser having ceased, and that of Stettin (the Sound 
Dues having been abolished), have also increased in 
a very large proportion. 

9. That the Stade Toll differs from the Sound 
Dues, inasmuch as the Sound Dues were a Tax 
charged not only upon articles of Export, but also 
on articles of general use imported into the United | 
Kingdom ; but the Stade Toll is levied on Ex- 

rts frum and not on Imports into the United 
aston 

10. That it does not appear that any service 
whatever is rendered by Hanover, in return for the 
Tax levied upon the commerce of Great Britain. 

11. That if the Treaty of 1844, by which the 
United Kingdom is bound for a limited period to 
assent to the payment of the Stade Toll, were deter- 
mined by notice pursuant to the terms thereof, but 
little injury or inconvenience would arise to the 
trade of this Country. 

12. That it is expedient that notice should be 
given to terminate the Treaty of 1844 with Hanover. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table ; 
and be printed.

Mr. Dunlop reported from the Committee ap- Universities 
pointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the (Scotland) Bill. 
Lords for disagreeing to certain of the Amendments 
made by their Lordships to the Universities (Scot- 
land) Bill; That they had drawn up Reasons ac- 
cordingly, which they had directed him to report to 
the House; and the same were read, as follow : 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p. 2, being to leave out Clause 3, for the following 
Reason : 

Because, by the Act of the 16 &amp; 17 years 
of Her Majesty, chapter 89, all Professors of 
the Universities of Scotland were relieved from 
the necessity of taking the religious test to 
which they previously were subject, except 
those holding Chairs of Theology ; and although 
the offices of Principals in all the Colleges, 
with two exceptions, were included under the 
designation “Chairs of Theology,” this pro- 
ceeded apparently on the assumption that the 
holders of these offices were actually teachers 
of Theology, while, in point of fact, none of the 
Principals of any of the Colleges, except Saint 
Mary’s, Saint Andrews (a Theological College, 
and not affected by the Clause struck out 
your Lordships), have, as such, taught Theology 
for more than a century and a half; and be- 
cause these offices of Heads of Colleges are 
situations of dignity, which ought to be open 
to persons of eminence of whatever denomina- 
tion, and whether Clergymen or Laymen. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments to 
Clauses 8, 9, 10, and 11, for the following Reason : 

Because, by making Professors Co-electors 
of the Rector with their Students, they would 
be placed in a position hurtful to their dignity 
and influence. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 15, being to leave out Clause 26, for the following 
Reason : 

Because the distinction between the two 
classes of Professors proposed to be done away 
with by this Clause is, as set forth in the Re- 








port cf the Royal Commissioners of Visitation, 
appointed in 1836, “invidious and unjust; 
detrimental to the interests of the University ; 
injurious to Her Majesty’s Prerogative, and 
deriving no countenance from the Rights and 
Charters of the University.” 

With the preceding exceptions, the Commons 

agree to the Amendments made by your Lordships 

to the Bill. 








¥x¥2 The

agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords to

put, That by the terms of the competition under Monument. 
which the Models for the Monument proposed to 
be erected to the memory of the late Duke of 
Wellington in Saint Paul’s Cathedral were lately 
exhibited in Westminster Hall, the artists competing 
were not entitled to expect that any of their Works 
would be executed at the expense of the Nation 
unless on the ground of their intrinsic merit ; and 
whereas the Judges have not recommended for 
execution any of the Works so exhibited, and 
a new and wholly different site has since been 
determined upon for this great national Monument, 
it is therefore expedient that a limited number of 
distinguished artists should be further employed by 
Her Majesty’s Government to furnish Models with 
special reference to the new site and altered circum- 
stances, and that those artists should be remunerated 
for their labour, and their Models purchased for the 
Country ;

. 9, Is. 21 and 22, and 1. 32, for the following 
Beeson : 


Because it is undesirable to increase the | 


patronage of the Minister, without providing 
a check upon its exercise. 





The Commons disagree to the Amendments in | 


. 10, l. 28, and p. 11, 1. 6, for the following 
eason : 

Because they desire to assert and secure the 
principle of open and unrestricted competition 
m a manner not admitting of doubt,and because 
they think this end would be better attained 
by Legislative Provision, than by an Order in 
Council. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment in 
p- 17, 1. 8, for the following Reason : 

Because the period of Three months allowed, 
if Parliament be sitting, is inconsistent with 
that of One month after the meeting of Parlia- 
ment, which meeting may take place imme- 
diately after the issuing of the Order to which 
this Clause relates. 

With the preceding exceptions, the Commons 
agree to the Amendments made by your Lordships 
to the Bill. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, were 
agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords to 
communicate the said Reasons (with the Bill and 
Amendments): And that the Clerk do carry the 
same. 


Mr. Hardy reported from the Committee ap- 
— to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the 

ords for disagreeiag to the Amendment made by 
their Lordships to the Turnpike Trusts Arrange- 
ments Bill; That they had drawn up a Reason 
accordingly, which they had directed him to report 
to the House; and the same was read, as followeth: 

The Commons disagree to the Lords’ Amendment 
to the Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Bill, for the 
following Reason : 

Because it would injuriously interfere with 
the exercise of the present Powers of the 
Secretary of State in making arrangements 
respecting Turnpike Trusts; but the Commons 
propose to amend the original Bill by leaving 
out Clause 2, because, in effect, the omission 
of that Clause carries out the principle of the 
Amendment made by your Lordships. 

The said Reason, being read a second time, was 
agreed to. 
Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords 
Vo.. 113. 





Because these Amendments would entirely 
defeat the object of the Bill; this object is to 
extend the practice of Vaccination in Ireland, 
by dividing every Dispensary Distiict into se- 
veral Vaccination Districts, and to induce the 
Medical Officer to exertion by paying him for 
his additional labour the sum of One pound 
for every twenty cases of successful vaccina- 
tion performed by him in addition to his salary. 
The Lords’ Amendments would leave it op- 
tional with the Board of Guardians to pay such 
Medical Officer any sum that they might think 
fit as a general Vaccination fee, instead of a sum 
payable in proportion to the number of cases 
successfully performed by him, and thereby 
deprive him of that incentive to exertion on 
which the success of the Bill mainly depends. 

The said Reason, being read a second time, was 


| agreed to. 


Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords to 
communicate the said Reason (with the Bill and 
Amendments): And that the Clerk do carry the 
same.

Speech. 


2° Augusti.—19° Octobris. 


An Act to amend an Act of the Parliament of 


the reign of King George the Third, intituled, “ An 
Act for vesting the Estate of the Right Reverend 
Father in God, Doctor John Stearne, late Lord 
Bishop of Clogher, deceased, in Trustees, in trust for 
carrying the Charitable and other Bequests of his 
Will into execution.” 


And afterwards, a Speech of the Lords Commis- 
sioners was delivered to both Houses by the Lord 
High Chancellor, as followeth : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


We are commanded by Her Majesty to express 
Her satisfaction at being enabled to release you 
froin the duties of a Session, which, though inter- 
rupted, has, by your unremitting assiduity, been 
productive of many important measures. 

Her Majesty is happy to believe that Her rela- 
tions with Foreign Powers are such as to enable 
Her Majesty to look with confidence to the preser- 





vation of general Peace. 

Her Majesty trusts that the labours of the Ple- | 
nipotentiaries now sitting in Conference at Paris | 
may lead to a satisfactory solution of the various | 
questions which have been referred to them. 

The efforts, the gallantry and devotedness displayed | 


A. 1858. 


The Transfer of Land Bill, which extends the 
powers hitherto exercised by the Incumbered Estates 
Commissioners, and facilitates the acquisition of an 
indefeasible title by purchasers of land in Ireland, 
cannot fail to be highly beneficial to the landed 
proprietors, and to advance the prosperity of that 
part of Her Majesty's Dominions. 

The Act to which Her Majesty has assented for 
the establishment of the Colony of British Columbia 
was urgently required in consequence of the recent 
discoveries of Gold in that district; but Her Ma- 
jesty hopes that this new Colony on the Pacific 
may be but one step in the career of steady pro- 
gress, by which Her Majesty’s Dominions in North 
America may ultimately be peopled, in an unbroken 
chain, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, by a loyal 
and industrious population of Subjects of the British 
Crown. 

Her Majesty thankfully acknowledges ‘the dili- 
gence and perseverance which has enabled you in a 
comparatively short time to pass these and other 
measures of inferior but not insignificant importance. 

Many of you, in returning to your respective 
counties, have extensive influence to exercise, and 
duties to perform of hardly less value to the com- 
munity than those from the labours of which you 
are about to be released ; and Her Majesty enter- 
tains a confident assurance that, under the guidance 


in India by Her Majesty’s Forces and those of the | Of Providence, that influence will be so employed, 
East India Company have been above all praise; , 2d those duties so performed, as to redound to 
and Her Majesty hopes that those efforts have | your own honour, and to promote the general wel- 
already been so far crowned with success that the | fare and the happiness of a loyal and contented 


formidable revolt which has raged throughout a 
large portion of Her Indian Possessions may now, | 
under the blessing of Almighty God, be speediiy | 
suppressed, and Peace be restored to those impor- | 
tant Provinces. | 

In this hope Her Majesty has given Her willing | 
assent to the Act which you have passed for trans- | 
ferring to Her direct authority the Government of | 
Her Jndian Dominions; and Her Majesty hopes to | 
be enabled so to discharge the high functions which | 
She has assumed, as, by a just and impartial Ad- 
ministration of the Law, to secure its advantages alike 
to Her Subjects of every Race and Creed, and, by 
promoting their welfare, to establish and strengthen 
Her Empire in India. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


Her Majesty commands us to thank you for the 
judicious liberality with which you have made Pro- 
vision for the exigencies of the Public Service. 

The present state of the Revenue’ authorizes Her 
Majesty to entertain a confident hope that the Sup- 
plies which you have granted will be found fully ade- 
quate to the demands upon them. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


The sanitary condition of the Metropolis must 
always be a subject of deep interest to Her Majesty, 
and Her Majesty has readily sanctioned the Act 
which you have passed for the Purification of that 
noble River, the present state of which is little 
creditable to a great Country, and seriously preju- 
dicial to the health and comfort of the inhabitants of 
the Metropolis. 

Her Majesty has also willingly assented to an 
Act whereby greater facilities are given for the ac- 
quisition by towns and districts of such Powers as 
may be requisite for promoting works of local im- 
provement, and thus extending more widely the 
advantages of municipal self-government. 

Her Majesty trusts that the Act which you have 
passed for the future Government of the Scotch 
Universities will be found highly advantageous to 
those venerable institutions, 8 § will greatly pro- 
mote and extend a system of sound moral and reli- 
gious education in Scotland. 


People. 


Then a Commission for proroguing the Parliament 
was read. 


After which the Lord Chancellor said ; 
My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


By virtue of Her Majesty’s Commission, under Pariiament 
prorogued, 


the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, and 
now read, we do, in Her Majesty’s Name, and in 
obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this Parlia- 
ment to Tuesday the 19th day of October next, to 
be then here holden; and this Parliament is ac- 
cordingly prorogued to Tuesday the 19th day of 
October next.
