He, however, could not avoid re marking. that it was the duty or Government, if they thought they hail any duties to perform, to watch over the pure aditii oistration of justice.

Ile comm u ted with moving for a cola accortlinaly•. 'l•he motion oreinsioned a desultory debate of some hours' duration, in which Mr. Wetheral, Mr. Hume, Mr. P. Moore, Mr. Pendergast, &r. took part. The House then din idol, and there appeared—For the motion, 82 —against it, 39 majority in fat our of the motion, .13. The committee was then appoint. it. On the order of the day lot tLe second reading of the Inane recticn Act, Sir R. Aa 11.30 N said lie would not impose the bill going a stage, on condition that IS. d.-hate was taken nn the question at this late hour, but that a ileh.ite should be taken on the location for e apeaher-Icaving the chair. Mr. (JUL I,IIIRN acceded to this proposition ; the bill was read a second time, and eo...mitim w ith iu under at:mding 0111 it 6110111(1 cuM-011 early that illy Mr. PEEL postponed the discussion on the Police Bill to a Nine day.

Mr. Q•arme, the Yeoman 1.....18 , r of the Black Roth, sum moned the House to 'Mewl in the House of Lords In bear the royal assent given by commission to sundry public and private bills.—(See Lords' report.) Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from inhabitants in the parishes of Ilornsey and Finchley against the Hi g hgate Chapel Bill. If the bill were pressed he should resist it, and divide the House on it. Mr. BROUGHAM trusted that the bill would not he pressed forward tow. The foundation (rod ample means; it was more richt) endowed than the school atilarrow. The bill was really of a public nature. Mr. BYNG said, when his turn came he should move the reading of the bill.—Petition read. Mr. CAL% ERT presented a similar petition from Holloway isd Kentish Town. Mr. BY ls.G soon afterwards moved the second reading of the Highgate Chapel Bill. Mr. IIUME was cut prised that this motion wax made. As it was pressed, he should move, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time this day six months. The funds were left to nodal:tin a grammar school, and to divert them to the .building of a elrlpel was a misappropriation. Besides, there was a suit Hauling in the Court of Chruscery on the subject; that might lirst to be decided. The rental was between 7 aad tttlol. • year. lie depended on the justice of the House hot to interfere with the course of justice. He concluded with moving an amendment, that the bill be read a second time this day six mood's. Mr. Alderman WOOD also opposed the hill. This bill was brought in a second time, which was contrary to the general practice of the House; and in favour of it they had not yet heard one word. He wished the bill to be postponed till next session. A clergyman might he maintained—but at present the sexton and grave digger were the only teachers of the boss. air J. c uAIIAM that this bill was not to take away the juriad;etion of the Court of Chancery ; and in that lie slid the truth, which bed not yet been spoken on this subject. He was Rusin's fur religions instruction, therefore he supported this bill • he had read the Bishop of Lond on's letter. The chapel had long been maintained. It was in proof that the clergyman had married in the chapel, and dune every act in it calculated to ease the mother church. Sir It. WILSON wished to know, if certain persons al Highgate were auxin's% to build a chapel by their subscriptions, why they desired to seize on the charitable funds Alderman HEYGATE said, the object of the founder was to establish a grimmer school and as far as lie unthistood the bill, it was diametrically opposed to what he deemed to have been tle• inter...an of the founder. Mr. BROUCIIAM opposed the bill. He always looked with anspicion at both houses interfetiug with private property if all the mystery of private bills was untokled, such a scene would lie opened as would frighten both Huesca and disgust the country. -(Hear! ) Ihe ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the motion, thinking that the House was not the proper place in which to decide the suestion involved in the bill. Mr. Bti NG suppoled the bill. Mr. WHITBREAD said be could not support the till. It was against his advice, and that of his lion. colleague, that the bill was :nought farwari its the present s4ssniu.—(liear.) TIIE NATIONAL REGISTER --- The gallery was then cleared for a division.

Mr. DROLCHAM, (on nue re-entering the House, WP..4 on Isis legs, declaring) when the bill next canto forward be abould expose the system of private hill jobbing. Mr. CALCRAFT was surprised at this libellous insinuation. The subject of a preceding night (the Calcutta Datil:era Peti tion) was much more succ , asful from the solicitations of an hon. gentleman, than from all the eloquence, wit, and sarcasm of the learned mettiber.—(llear! ) The bill was then rem: a second time, and ordered to be cominitted, Hess's.• IJ sae.—Sir J. MACINTOSH enquired whether the Ministers had received the copy of a Russian Ukase re specting the extravagant pretensions of the Court of Russia regarding certain elu ioes of time sea towards the American coast' Lord LONDONDERRY replied that such copy had been received. The English g overnment bad protested against the principle of the Ukase, at the same time stating the readiness of his Majesty's Ministers to promote amicable negotiations the subject. Mr. W. SMITH moved that an order of the Court of Ex chequer respecting Extents in Aid be prinled.—Ordered. Mr. AR BITIINOT moved that the House go into a Com mittee of Supply. On the question having been put, Mr. HER NAL adverted to the distresses in Ireland. 150,0001. had been voted; between 400,000 and 500,000 petsons were in aside of utter starvation, and they ought to adopt no men sores till effectual relief was afforded to Ireland. Ile now a 'shed to know whether the Government intended to do any thing noire ? Mr. COL LBURN mild, that the sums already given by the House to promote work amongst the poor had been effectual. lie thought the measures already taken by the House and the Government would go a great way to accomplish the objects Mr. D. BROWNE said, provisions were never more cheap than now in I. land ; indeed Ireland bad to complain of super abundance ; a n d yet at that moment cargoes of provisions were soil thither. Also, corn and provisions were expo' ted firm Ireland to England. Ile did wit very well understand all the arena of these transactions. Mr. V. FITZGERALD was hurt that the Right Hon. Gentle man should step forward at such irtime to throw a doubt as to the alleged distress in Ireland. The distress had been under stated. After some remarks from Sir J. Newport, Ste. the House re solved itself jut. the Committee of Supply. Mr.A R BUTIINOT moved the first resobition—that 700,0001. be grantmt to meet the Army Eatraordinaries. The Committee vs, re imam that considerable reductions had taken place ; however, he should give any explanation that might be required. Mr. HUME said, lie did not mean to deny that considerable reductions had taken place. Savings had been effected. lie also complimented the iinpored 'node of making the charges regarding the Colonies ; hut in the Colonies great retrenchments were required. The system pursued towards the Cambia was peculiarly hail. The hon. gentleman mitered at length into a review of the items of expenditure, constituting the proposed vote of 700,0001. for the Army Estraordinarimi. Ile portico lady co 00000 ienteil on the salaries paid to the agents in the colo nies, and proposed to redace the agent at the Cape 5(101. nt the Manritus the same sum, at Ceylon 12001. at the lonian Islands 5001: and at various others of the colonies, so as to make the whole reduction on this head, 60001. and ha moved an amend ment to that effect. 31r. W 11 MOT opposed the proposed reduction, as inconsis tent with the public services. Mr. ARBUTHNOT also defended the estimates-am they at present stood, and observed, that whoever hail Ole honour of submitting the estimates next year, would have farther reduc tions to propose.

The Lord Chancellor came into court at ten o'clock. ni.nuCED FIVE PER CENTS. His Lordship observed, that the day had passed by for the suitors 11111111114 Ittl interest in the 6 per Cents. in that Court, to dissent from their being reduced ; therefore, on all the applica tions hereafter to be made In the Court fur the payment out of aity sum of money that had stood in the 6 per Cents., it must he mad.• ss standing in the .1 per Cents. He would feel obli,red ~ the her, in wortlitr: any order to that effect, if they would .1%.• him their absiAiume, so as it might be properly tirs.au MARFA% CORPUS. Mr. Cullen moved for two writs of Halmos Corpus, to bang up oil Tuesday two persons who were in elistody. The Lord Chancellor.—Why are those applications made to rie? Before my time the practitioners of this Court never thought of making such applications here. The Legislature, fur the purpose of relieving this Court and the Court of King's Bench, passed an act lately, to enable any one of the twelve Judges to issue such writs, and bear and determine them at chambers. There are nine Judges now in town unemployed, and why are not these applications made to them ? their being made to we is only dtifeating the intention of the Legislature.- 1 cannot refuse soils applications when they are made to me ; for if I did, I should be liable to a penalty of 5001. for each refusal, and also be incapacitated, us long us 1 lived, from holding any office under his Majesty. Cullen.—There your Lordship will allow the writs to he reternatile on Thursday next ? The Lord Chancellor.-1 have no option ; 1 cannot refuse the applieat;ons ; but if they are continued to be made to me, 1 shall consider it my duty to apply to the Legislature to adopt sorer measure for the purpose of carrying the intention of their act into ell'exit. TIM DUKE OF REDFORD V. VIE TRUSTEES OF TUE BRITISH stbstv M. The Attorney General asked the Lord Chancellor, whether his Lordship would be ready to proceed with this case un Saturday nest ? The Lord ChancoAlm said, he had sent ttklhe Master of the Rolls to inquire if bin Honour would hind it calgeuient to favour him with his asaiatance on ►hat day. TIioNIAS P. TROTTER. Mr. Trotter was Reath brought up to-day by Mabeas Corpus in cusiudy of the Marshal of the King's Bench, for the purpose of being beard upon his petition, complaining of irregularities attemliti; his committal under an attachment for contempt of of court, in not answering the proceedings against him 031 the part of the plaintiff; and praying that he might be relieved trout such attachment, as he was unable to pay the costa and base it set aside in the asual way. The Lord Chancellor pronounced his decission at some length, and said that when a party cattle into a court of equity to make a complaint against another, lie ought, in order in entitle himself to the favour of the court, to collie in with clean hands. The petitioner, therefore, before he complained o; the irregula rities of others, ought to show that he was himself regular; and ought not to expect to use the authority of the Court sexiest such other persons, whilst he was acting in disobedience to that authority himself. With respect to the petitioner's inability from want of funds to purge himself in the usual way, be was sorry for it ; but that was only a subject for the consideration of the other party, and not of the judge, who was bound to set according to the law. Ender all the circumstances, his Lordship felt it his duty to dismiss the petition ; but would reserve the question of costs in the hope of its leading to something advan tageous to the parties. IN TOE CASE OE PRISCILLA STREET, A WARD OF COURT. Mr. Horne recalled to his Lordship's recollection an injunc tion granted by the Court last term, restraining the infant's mother and a young man named Iloratio Reeves, of Exeter, from having any intercourse with the infant. He (Mr. Horne) had now to muse fur the committal of those parties; for a con tempt of Court in disobeying such injunction. The leamfd counsel then read a number of affidavits, from which it appeared, that notwithstanding that the order of the Court had been served upon the parties, the defendant, Horatio Reeves, who is a drug gist, and the son of a pawnbroker at Exeter, contrived, with the assistance of his brother George, • front whom the former is personally distinguished by a cast in his eye), and with the mother's permission, to carry off the infant ; the mother having declared that her daughter should marry the defendant in spite of them all, or she would be d----c 1 if she would not shoot her, and the defendant hating stated, when served with a nestles., I ron the plaintiff's solicitor, of the infant having been made a ward of court, that that (the notice) was only something for him to laugh at. His brother, also, on being cautioned against the COI, sequences of such an affair, treated h with levity, saying, that if committed, he could get the roles of the Fleet; or if nut, he would give them the slip. It appeared front the affidavits, that the fugitives proceeded from a public-house called the Flower pet; in a car, as far as Taunton, and thence by the stage to Bristol, where they were to have gone on board the Guernsey packet, the defendant's brother George having engaged the after-cabin for their accommodation. But it was not stated in the affidavits, or at least so much of them as was read by the learned counsel, what had since become of the parties. The Lord Chancellor said be would first grant an order for the parties, namely, the infant's mother, Iloratio Reeves, and his brothe George, to attend this Court ; as it would not be right to commit r them in the first instance, u before they were afforded an opportunity, if they chose to avail themselves of it, of be ing heard. Should it be found impossible to serve the defend. ants, H. and C. Reeves, with a copy of this order, be would then consider service at their father's house sufficient. " But," said his lordship, " take care that the old lady does not come into court with lire arms."—(Laughter.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THURSDAY, JULY 4. ILLD : e. GOULD. The plaintiff in this case was a child of nine or ten years of age, who by his guardian, sought to recover damages fur an assault, in which his thigh was broken. It appeared in evi dence, that the little bey, with ten or twelve other children, was playing in nn empty ts ewe of the defendant, when he came up mod called out to them to desist. The plaintiff was attempting to get out at the hack of the waggon, when the de fendant took hold of him by the leg to pull him down ; upon which he fell upon a heap of bricks and fractured his thigh. Gould, at first, seemed to suppose that the accident had torn occasioned by seine one throwing a atone; but on the child saying that it was mooed by himself, he expressed his surprise, said that he did not intend it, and culled to another lad to con vey hint home, and to take care not to hart him. A medical gentleman pruned the extent of the injury, and f that its probable effect would be a contract ion of the limb doming lie. Mr. Scarlett addressed the jury for the plaintiff on the griev ous nature of the injury ; and Mr. Nolan, for the defeedao , t, conended that the misfortune was purel accidental, and that the justice of the case would be satisfi y ed by very moderate damages: The Lord Chief Justice, after stating the sooloalanee of the evidence, observed, that it was clear the defendant never in wooded to do the serious injury complained of ; but that Mill the plaintiff wan entitled to some 'mule' ate recompense. In this action, the jury could hot take into consideration the surgeon's bill, as the father, and not the tol, would be liable to pay it. The jury found a verdict fur the plaioiliff--Dantages la ill order to prevent litigation, it was agreed that the amount of the surgeon's charges, 51. ss. Moont he dded, rod tat furth should be ilayed. li The a verdict, there h rble, er taken for 15f. So - Arafflwri
