    of tho details of this bill , ' Lord -Palmeeston stated the reasons which hod induced ' the Government to a bandon the measure for the -session . Considering the amount of discussion it badyettojmdergo , and the demand * on the time , of the House-on account-of bills which would have a better cliance of passing , he considered that his wisest course wou . ld . be to withdraw the measure in question .- —Upwards of two hours was then wasted in an idle discussion , which took tttt form of what some members called " a coroner ' s inquest" on the bill . —Mr . Rbknoh , Mr . V . Scully , Air . Magoibb , Mr . Db V » be , and Mr . Braov , expressed respectively their indignation and their regrets at the sacrifice of the bill , while other members approved of the course Government had taken ; and finally the Chairman reported progress previous to the withdrawal of the measure .

Butt moved the second reading of this bill , the object of which was to extend to bleaching works the same restrictions , in respect to the labour of women and children , as have been already applied to factories .

The House of Lords , on Thursday , merely advanced sundry bills a stage , and then adjourned . LIMITKI * LIABILITY 2 JILI ..

    Mr . Mustz opposed tho going into committee on this bill , from the principle of which lie dissented . A companj ' , oven with limited liability , could not compete with a single capitalist ; and ruin would attend upon the endeavour . Besides , if the bill was really to benelit the working classes , why should the amount of capital be limited to 20 , 000 / . ? Why , also wore insurance and banking companies excluded ? The bill was a delusion , ami was not called for out of tho walls of that House . He therefore moved to defer the committee for three mouths . —This motion was supported by Mr . Gi . vn , not out of any objection to the principle of the bill , but because ho thought

    its machinery defective . —Mr . William Brown and Mr . Sxkutx also opposed the measure ; Xr . V . JScull y expressed his concurrence with the principle of limited liability , but thought tho details of the bill roquiredgrout " consideration ; and Mr . Ei > iVAUi > Bali . und Mr . John MUkixsou spoke iu favour of proceeding \ citl » the committee . — Lord I ' almerston ontreated the House not to waste time in useless discussion , but to go at once into committee . Tho ineasuro was a five U '; ido measuro , and he was

    surprised that free-trailers should oppose it . Ho would urge tho House to go into committee on the l ) ill day after day and morning after morning ; and , if there was si general determination to wuato time in long speeches , they might have to sit perhaps till September . At any rate , no ottorts should bo wanting on tho part of tUo Government to pass tho measure . —This throat waa strongly robuked by Mr . Mitchell ; and tho discussion was renewed , thu bill being opposed by several members , * among whom was Mr . Card well . Ultimately , however , Mr ,

    Muntz ' s motion was negatived by 121 to 40 , and the House went into committee ; but , before the first clause was discussed , -the Chairman was ordered to rcBqj rJi progrjeae .

That letter would shortly be laid oa the table . He was sorry to say that the JtJjissian Goyernment refused to deliver up the prisoner ^ .

    TURKISH COMMISSARIAT . In answer to Mr . Layard , Mr . Wilson said that Mr . Gladstone had been mistaken in supposing that the 10 s . per ten paid for the coal at Heraclea was a royalty ; and he explained the circumstances which . had caused a temporary deficiency of money into the bands of our Commissariat in the East , Some delay in the arrival of remittances had arisen from an . accident to the British Queen , which detained her for three weeks at Malta , All difficulty , however , had now been , removed . The Turkish Loast Bill was read a second time nem . con .

    THE COLLISION ON THE COAST OF AFRICA . Mr . Bright asked when the papers in reference to the conflict on the coast of Africa would be ready . Five or six hundred lives had been lost , of which eighty or ninety were our own countrymen ; and he was justified in calling for explanations . —Lord Palmerston said some despatches had come to hand , but as yet the details had not been received . THE VIE SKA NEGOTIATIOXS . Mr . Laxng stated that on Friday , August 3 rd , he would bring forward his motion with regard to the diplomatic papers lately presented to the House .

    SPFPLY . THE EDUCATION VOTE . Sir George GREy having moved for a vote of 381 , 921 / . for public education , Mr . Barkes moved the reduction of thesutn to 263 , 000 / . He considered that the grant was mis-applied , extravagantly expended , and used for relieving classes , the members of which could well afford to pay for the education of their children , themselves . —After a discussion of four hours , the amendment was withdrawn , and the vote agreed to . The vote of 215 , 000 / . for public education in Ireland , which Mr . Cheetham proposed to reduce by 2000 / ., was the subject of another long discussion ; ? and this amendment was likewise ultimately withdrawn . —Two more votes having been agreed to , the ; Chairman reported progress .
