the wlwle Protestant population of the country would arm I ;h:•itr , elv , s at their own expense ; and the disbanded yeo .o..my would unite with the hon. member for Kerry to de- 1 :it col a repei.l of the Union ; and scenes would take place ...hid' no man could contemplate without horror and eivnsy. air. GIL ITTAN said, if the right hon. gentleman e , tant to vtr.hute to him that he was a member of a cabal, I e mu , e ..av it went fake. The SPEAKER said, he was confident the hon. gent. rot ”reap ro u.c offensive language, but the expression uas onratliamentary. tar. OR .TTAN said, he did not mean to use unpatlia o er.tary language, but contradict the imputation of being a •wottrtv or a cabal. The step he and other members from Ireland took, in I.:commending to Government to dimini-h t to.inry force, was for the purpose of promoting the place of Ireland, and preventing discussions in that house, whi: h they were told tine calculated to inflame the people of Inland. His feeling was, that the yeomanry was not a force calculated for Ireland, and he would prefer a regular military force. Capt. GORDON Minded the yeomanry of Ireland. !Sir. JEr HSON said, the speech of the right hon. mem. tier for Harwich ( Mr. G. Dawson), who said, if the yeo. marry of Ireland were disarmed, the Protestants of Ireland nould arm themselvs against the Government, was most extraordinary. He was proud of having been one of those who signed the document Teamed to the prime minister. SH iEL thought the speech of the late Secretary for the Treasury (.Ir. G. Dawson) was the most extraordinary ever made in the house. The evidence of English officers of 1 the highest rank, who had served in Ireland, proved that Catholics were excluded from yeomenry corps, which caused a feeling of great irritation, and a sense of insecurity. The Government should not seek to conciliate the yeomanry of Ireland for a day, but the people for ever. (Hear.) Lord KILI.P.EN deuie - ti that he went tojEari Grey with the Irish members as a cabal. They went in a tiendly spi rit. it was not denied by any member of the House that rhe yeomanry of Ireland was a party force ; and a party force was not calculated for Ireland. (Hear.) Mr. LAMBERT said, he was compelled to state a fact, that in the Newtownbany massacre, a yeoman ripped up a woman large with child, and tore the it:fant from her womb to murder it. Yet it was With great difficulty a hill for manslaughter was found against the murderer. ILETOII3I. Lord A LTHORP moved that the Hausa resolve itself into a Coniniittee on the Reform of Porliament Bill. Culaael :+II3THORP said 1•e hat received I stmrs from Liverpool, stating that the Hotheay s.eamet had been adver tised as his Majesty's evar.office packet, and the office had assumed his Majesty'. name, which probably increased the number of paNsengets ; it was not true that it was a 1111/- Ake packet ; he thought the Government should forbid the use of the King's name. Mr. LAMB !mid he had received similar leiters from Li verpool ; and admitted it was a subject that ougba be at. tended to. as it night impose on the public; such vessels tl.ving no other connection with Government, than being occasionally employed to catty troops '1 he house resolved itself into the cimmittee. The CHA I R5l AN read clause twenty-one. Sir C. AY ETHERELL asked a question which we did I rot catch, to *bleb Lord A LT HORP replied in a low tone. Mr. C. I F.IIGUSSON conontled that none should be es- • titled to vote for a ten:Tont but who were liable for the rens and payment of notes, otherwise he said that a person might t..ke a house at one hundred pounds a-year, and invite rine of his friends to reside with him, and by that means give qualification to ten pt rsons from one .enement. s , s "" - The ATTt >RN EY-GENERA L said the clause provided t.:at whoever voted must be joint occupiers, and conies ~wetly be jointly responsible. S.r C. W ITHERELI, objected to the phrase occupier, as being too vague. He designated these joint occupations as heat rooLeries. Al, Alderman WOOD said that that part of the clause applied most particularly to the City of London ; and he thought that none should be emitled to vote but those who were bona fide rated and responsible separately for the taxes. He could not consent that any one should be entitled to vote merely as being a partner in the occupation of a tenement. Tile .1T r(JRN EY-G EN ER A L explained that joint occupation could only be applied where the occupiers were p ar utcl y responsible. Mr. Ahlerman VENABLES expressed himselt satis fied with the explanation of thelearned Attorney-General, and was of opinion that it met the views of Iris honourable colleague. Sir C. WETHERELL made a number of facetious allu sions to the Committee of Common Council. which he de signated the self-constituted Committee of Public Safety.— He complimented Ald. Venable. for his very independent conduct before the Committeeof Sa'ety, it. telling .been that although a ftiend•to reform be would exercise his own judg ment. The learned gentleman concluded with urging some further objections to the clause. Sir. E. SUDDEN objected to the clause; be contended that the joint occupiers must vote under a common right; he thought that they might as well at once admit lodgers, who, in many Mrs, were the must respectable, for there were many who took a h >use who could not themselves afford to live an the first-floor, consequently the lodger who held the first finer was infinitely more respectable than the landlord. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL again explained, and said he was satisfied that the clause as now amended was • calculated to meet every purpose. A very long conversation followed, which chiefly hinged on doubts expressed as to the definition given by the learned. A ttorrey-General to certain terms used in the clause. Alderman WOOD represented that in large houses which were act out in compartments as counting-houses, the • occupiers always claimed exemption from serving in any offices in the Wards in the city ; and he thought it would he iteproper than to give them a vote (or a representative in Lord J. RUSSELL explained, that the ground of their exemptimi could only be on the plea, that they were not rated, and the present bill would not at er the law in that retiree:, for none would be entitled to vote under the pro vt.a.•ns of the bill, unless their names were recorded as rate. • pay Co.s aid consequently to be available for all services and . ht• • tit es to lie sustained as a rate-payer. A long discussion ' in which Sir R. PEEL and Ser.! g t:ttit WII.DIi took the chief pert, took place with respect • to the prt.viso, '• That no tenant so occupying such pre- mists es aforesaid, at a yearly rent of' not less than 101. • shall by reason thereof acquire a vote in the election for any city or bereugn, if by any agreement or contrivance, or by virtue of any act of parliament, or otherwise, the landlord si. nil to liable to the payment of the rates for the relief of the pow, in respect of such premises ; but that. neverthe kss, wheic by vittue of any act of parliamem the landlord shall be liable to the payment of such sates, it :11411 be lawful for any such tenant to: claim to pay such rates, and upon his actually paying the same to acquire the same right of voting as if his landlord had not been so liable for such Lacs." The point in discussion was whether the tenant, after paying the poems' rates could claim a proportionate diminution of his rent. Sir R. PEEL suggested that a more simple qualification would be the jury qualification. Sir C. WETHERELL said, many individuals who now expected to be electors, because they paid 101. rent, would be disappointed on finding that they must pay the room' rates without being able, as he understood the clause, to claim a proportionate diminution from the rent. Sergeant 11' ILDE said, they might claim the diminution whenever they could make it appear what proportion of their re at represented their poem' rates, and whenever such pro. portion being deducted there remained 101. rent. Sir E. SUDDEN recommended that the clause be struck oat, and another less obscure inserted. Nlr. WILES said tenants would henceforth take care to ni dee agreements with their landlords, explicitly stating their amount of poor rates. Mr. PRAED thought the proviso would have the Awe of excluding a most respectable class of voters. The words in the clause were then agreed to. The C HA IRM A N that put the words, providing that the premises occupied during the 12 months shall be the satire, and that when the premises are jointly occupied by several persons, each occupier shall vote only when the to tal value or rent if the premises, divided by the number d, the meopiers, shall give a sum of not less than 101. Imp each occupier. The question was agreed to. POLHILL moved, that no person who received rent from lodgers should vote in right of the occupancy of such I•ouse, unless the rent was 201. Lard AI.THORP opposed the motion. Mr. HUNT said, many a man who let lodgings made 33.11. or 4001. a-year by his house, and would it be reason able that he should not have a vote? Mr. POLHILL withdrew the amendment, and moved ato-ber, that In all cities and boroughs having from due hundred to five hundred 101. houses, the qualification to vote , should be the occupation of a 101. house; inel l :lX:d i boroughs having from five hundred to one then of 101. the right of voting should be the occupation of a house of 151. rent ; and in all chits and bcaoughs mote than one thousand 101. houses, the qualificatheialmoM be the occupation of a house of 210. rent. Lord ALTHORP oppueed the melon. Colonel SIBTHORP complained di .t t.otileg that was acid could be heard, from the noise that was cunstandy made in the a mmittee from hon. gentlemen eenversivg. The amendment was negatived without adivieton. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES moved due no weekly tenant in any city or borough should be deprived of his vote by the landlord giving him notice to quit during any vacancy in the representation of such city or town. Lord ALTHORP opposed the motion, on the ground that it would enable persons to vote after they had parted with the possession of the house in right of occupying which they voted. The amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. HUNT moved an amendment, that all persons ex eluded from voting by the bill should be exempted from paring rates and taxes, and from compulsory serving in the militia and navy. As he was aware bow the motion would be decided, he should not trouble the house with a division. The amendment was negatived without a division. lily. PI:A ED iiieveti that no person ,beeltl be entitled to vote who had received parochial relief within twelve months previous to the fir4l of August next before lie election. Lord ALTHORP concurred in the amendment, which was egrecd to. On the question the. the clause so agreed to stand pelt of the bill, Mr. PANE Raid, he was opposed to this 101. clause, which would make a violent alteration in the constitution of the country. Mr. S. WORTLEY tholepin the claws made a meet im. portant change in the censtittetion, which he must protest. thought it unfair to call on h i m to agree with the C 1,11161 without git ing time for consideration. Lord AIM litelt s i o.ed thrt the clause vas one of the' most Important in the Bill ; hut it had been very fully dis. cussed. The large constitacney it :save in large tows would he thought, be an advantage; and s would produce content ment and prevent rites. From every tiling he hail seen of the fscliug of the country, he did not think .;ity simuld have' ! given satisfaction to th • country generally if they had not gone as far as they had elte , e. The extent toe constitu ency was the best safeguard against corrtolota. In the smaller vitro, the coustituency would be raised far above w!tat it was at prevent. He thought the clause would t ffect a mo-t bene;icial imptovement in the teptenatadon of the country. (11 ear.) Cohere] LINDSAY was for refomi to a certain extent, but 'could not vote for the clause now before the house, which, in a few years, would make every householder In E. , ,,land an dec•or, mud would give rise to litigation sad corrumion. There would be nomination by Attorneys In. stets I of by Pars, and very shortly universal suffrage. Mr. II YNN thought the framers of the bill should rather have endeavoured to form a constituency that would give the best ropuscntation, than one the.' would for a time gra. dfy the tee ings of the peop'm Lied LOUGHBOROUGH protested against the whole of the clause ; if it remained in the bill one result would be that th.• whole of the pools' rates would in future be paid by the candidates at elections; the whole bill he considered as mos: iniquitous, revolivionary, and republican. The Safety was then et aced tor a division, but the clause was agreed to without any having taken place. The CHAIR M A N then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit spin this day. ' The other enders of the day were Oen disposed of. The I•oute adjoutned at Helf.past One o'Clock to twelve o'Clock this day. 2V E 11' LAWS BEFORE PARLIAMENT. The public are deeply interested by legislation, and vet it so happens, that nine times in ten laws pass both Houses before those who are affected by them are aware of their tendency. We propose, therefore, to direct our vigilance to this important object. A Mil to diminish the Exp:nse and prevent the Delay of Suits in the Common I:ser Coerts'at Westminster.

A BILL. FOR SETtLiNti CONTI:OVERSIES BY ARM i RATION. Whereas the determination of controversies by ar bitration is often conducive to justice, and advantage ous to the parties; but controversies cannot now be referred to arbitration without the consent of the; : several parties thereto, and such parties are some time deterred from submitting their differences to arbitration by reason of the want of sufficient means to enforce the attendance of witnesses and' performance of the award : for remedy thereof, and also for the encouragement of voluntary submission to arbitration, be it enacted, that whenever in any i action that now is or hereafter may be depending, it shall appear that the matters in dispute between the parties are such for which an action of account would now lie, or consist either wholly or in part of pecuniary demands or payments of more than one item on each side, it shall be lawful for the Court, or any Judge thereof, before trial, or for the Judge before whom the cause may be entered for trial, to order, upon the application of either party, all or any such matters of account or pe cuniary demands or payments to be referred to an arbirator to be named by the parties, or by the court or judge if the parties do not agree in such nomination within a time to be limited. In actions involving any question of law or mat ter of fact, the Court may order a special case, or a trial of such matters to be had, and refer the others. Unless some special direction as to costs shall be given by the Court or Judge, the costs of any special case which may be so directed as aforesaid, shall follow the decision of the Court thereon ; and the costs of any trial that may be so bad or proceed as aforesaid, shall follow the verdict of the jury ; and all other costs of the cause, and also the costs of the reference and award, shall follow the event of the award : provided always, that if in addition to any matters so referred as aforesaid, all or any other matters in difference between the parties, and not comprised in the action wherein the rule or order shall be made, shall, by consent of the par ties, be referred to the same arbitrator, the costs of so much of the reference and award as may relate to such other matters, shall be in the discretion of the arbitrator, unless the parties shall otherwise Wlt e*. shall be lawful for the arbitrator to direct a judgment by confession to be entered on the record for any sum awarded, or a judg ment of non-pros to be so entered, or in case the cause has been called on for trial, to order a verdict and judgment to be entered either for the plaintiff or defendant, and either for the whole or part of the subject matter of the action, as justice may re quire ; and a judgment of non-pros entered in pur suance of such direction shall be final and conclu sive, and may bo pleaded in answer to any other action brought for the recovery of the matters to which such judgment may relate. In case of a referense made by virtue of this Act without the consent of both parties, it shall be lawful for the court, on the application of either party complaining of any improper exercise of the discretion of the judge in making the order, or of any mistake in the direction given to the arbitrator or jury, or of any finding of the jury, or of any misconduct or mistake of the arbitrator in matter of law or fact, to make such order thereupon, for the correction of any such error, mistake or nib conduct, and for the relief of the party aff e cted thereby, as justice may require : provided always, that if the application ee made on the ground of any misconduct or mistake of the arbitrator, it shall be made either before the making of the award or before the last day of the term next after the making and publishing of the award. And whereas by an act of Waliam, it is pro vided and prdained, that it shall be lawful for per sons desirous to end any such controversy, suit or quarrel, as is therein mentioned, by arbitration, to agree that their submission should be made a rule of any of his Majesty's courts of record, and to in sert such their agreement in their submission. Ba it enacted, That such entry of record and rule of court may be made, on filing such affidavit as aforesaid, at any time either in term or vaca tion, and as of the day on which the same shall be Ritually entered and made, and without applica tion to the court or any judge for that purpose; and that upon or after the entering of record of any such agreement, and a ride of court there upon made, and also upon or after any re ference by rule of court or order of a judge, made either by virtue of this act or by consent of parties, it shall bo lawful for the court or any judge thereof, by rule or order to be made tor that prpose, to command the attendance and examina tion of any person to be named, or the production of an) documents to be mentioned, in such rule or order which the court or judge is hereby authorized to make ; and the disobedience to any such rule or order shall be deemed a contempt of court, if, in addition to the service of such rule or order, an appointment of the time and place of attendance in obedience thereto, signed by one at feast of the ar bitrators, or by the umpire before whom the attend ance is required, shall also be served, either toge ther with or after the service of such rule or order. It shall be lawful for the arbitrators or umpire, and they are hereby authorised and required, to administer an oath to such witnesses, or to take their af fir mation in cases where ffirmation is allowed by law instead of oath; and if upon such oath or affirmation any persen making the same shall wilfully and corruptly give any false evidence every person so offending shall be deemed and taken to be guilty of perjury, and shall be prose cuted and punished accordingly. The power of the arbitrator not to be revoked without leave of the court. If . payment of money or delivery of possession of lands ordered by au award is not made, the award may at any time be entered of record, and be of the same force as a judgment, except as to becoming a charge upon lands, &c. But nothing in this act contained shall autho rise any court or judge to order a reference of any matter or cause that may require the adjustment or settlement of the account of any personal estate of any testator or intestate, without the consent of the person or persons having the administration of such estate, or of any cause or matter that may require the adjustment or settlement of the account of any real estate, without the consent of the persons chargeable in respect thereof as heirs or devisees. ta Other important bills on Monday.

Letters from Cracow say that on the sth August, there had been a serious action between the Russian and Polish armies, in which the latter had the advantage. To this it was added that the Emperor of Russia was ill. In some parts of Hungary disturbances are said to have broken out, in consequence of the measures against the cholera, causing great inconvenience. The cholera is nearer the capital on the side of Hungary, and symp toms of it are said to he observed at Bruck, on the Leptis., and Bohran, only a few leagues from Vienna.

RIO DE JAN EIRO.—The Diario de Govern°, of June 3, contains the following proclamation of the municipal Chamber : Since the glorious political events of the ever memorable 6th and 7th April, which are due to your heroism, and which announce such nattering and brilliant prospects to the great Brazilian fa mily, the municipal Chamber has seen with regret, that your minds are not yet easy, perhaps because the expected ameliorations do not proceed with the rapidity which you think necessary to your wel fare. The municipal Chamber recognises, as well as you, the necessity of reforms of the evils, which the Government purposely tu . lerated for your destruction ; but you, as well a , the municipal powers, must perceive the imp, * bitty of effecting in so short a time, amelioration, and reforms which necessarily must proceed in ihti course laid down by the constitution, to which w e have sworn. The Municipal Chamber, sufferin g from the same evils as yourselves, is going to sui, mit to our worthy representatives the chief subject, of your displeasure. Let us trust in the wisdom o f our General Assembly, which has given such re. peated proofs of its devotion to the welfare of Bra zil. Let us hope in the wise measures of our re presentatives, who being chosen from among ourselves, cannot have different interests. They know our wants, and will put an end to them. Be not precipitate—do not suffer yourselves to be deceived, if :ou desire the happiness of your country, if you desire that Brazil should be always a nation of heroes. You were such in the field of honour, and you will still be so, if prudence regu lates your conduct : support the Constitution, that sacred code, —be obedient to the laws, —respect the constituted authorities,—it is thus only that you will be happy ; and, on the contrary, hurried from precipice to precipice, we shall fall into total ruin. And shall this be the result of the many labours, of the many dangers, to which you have exposed yourselves for the salvation of our country ? Shall this be the spectacle which we shall exhibit to a civilized nation, which now behold us with asto nishment ? Certainly not—you are Brazilians, and tho nation shall still admire your prudence, acrd your respect for the laws.

We had yesterday the satisfaction, on the re• spectable authority of information which reached our office exclusively, to describe the result of those military operations, on which mainly depend the fate of Poland, and the hopes of the friends to the Polish cause. To-day we are not enabled either to correct or confirm "our important intelligence of yesterday, for there have been no arrivals from the vicinity of the seat of war, more recent than fee accounts of which we were in possession yesterdo! : We have intelligence to-day from the bank; c the Danube—about the same distance from the scene of action as Hamburgh, but dated four day) earlier; nevertheless, it will be seen that they CO tale accounts of some Polish advantages, 11 Cracow ; and that there have been falls in the Austrian funds, such as would be likely follow the defeat or retreat of the Russians. Our brother Journalists of this morning bat' treated the intelligence, which we gave them Ia night, with the respect due at once to our knoe: integrity, and to the respectability of the evolve sources of our information; and it is creditable all of them, that they participate in our feeling , and express ardent hopes, that the intelligence ne be fully confirmed. For our own parts, we entertain little deuh: that at the beginning of the week, it will found, that the Poles have gained such advaniego over the Russians, as have obliged the latter retreat towards the Prussian frontiers of Silesia Pesnania. In fact, all military men have Ito gated such retreat, if not defeat, as the ineeitP result of the desperate move of PAILEWITSCH• daring to cross the Vistula, and place his Elise° troops in an inimical country, in the face Polish army, commanded by such men SKRZYNRCKI and RODIARINO.
