The Ipswich gas light bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. S. WORTLEY gave notice, that on the 30th inst. he should move that the home go into a coninlittee to consider the propriety of grannug a isampensation of money to the creditors of Mr. Burton, late member for Beverley, to make good losses sus tained by them in consequence of an order of the house. Sir W. CURTIS moved for copies of all cotnniunkations with the treasury respecting the establishment of an extra post. Slr. W' ARNE' raid, he must object to the extra post bill on every ;pound. He deemed it most censurable. They hail pas • sled a bill to punish mambas for over-driving; but this bill he andel consider as neither more nor less than offering a premium on over-driving, and for cruelty to animals. Mr. J. SMII H took this opportunity of complaining of the imperfect manner in which, in many Instances the post office marks were stamped on letters, so imperfectly in many instances, as to render it impossible for the officers themselves to decypher the marks; and when it was remembered how important such marks, as proofs, were in many of the proceedings of private liM. 1w thought they ought to becharacterised by much more accuracy. Mr. LUSH I NGTON admitted the force of the remarks; and added, duo they would be attended to. These and other papers were ordered to be presented to the house. Mr. S. COOPER moved for certain papers, respecting a pro secution of Thomas Flannagan, at the assizes for Sligo, the opi aions of Judge Mayne. &c. Mr. D. Brown and Col. Barry said that the papers ought to be produced; that they would show individuals not to have uttered libels charged on diem. Mr. C. GRANT said he had no oLjection to produce the papers .—but he put it to the house. whether any further explanauon was required. The grand jury, &c. were beyond the reach of such attacks as had been complained of. Mr. S. COOPER observed, after the publicity that had been given to the subject, he should persevere in his motion. Mourn put, and papers ordered. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE presented petitions from Wellington, &c. praying fur a revision of the criminal laws. Mr. BARING presented a petition from die poor debtors in Ilellester jail. complaining of the state of the jail and the conduct artily jailor ; and praying that the house would take the came into immediate consideration. Read and ordered to be printed. Mr MARTIN (of Galway) moved for leave to bring in a bill to prevent cruelty to horses and other animals. He said it steered dear oi the objections urged to Lord Erskine's bill ; it did not interfere with the owners, if they hail hearts to be cruel, but it went to prevent servants and others from exercising cruelty. Station agreed to. The house went into • committee on the bankruptcy l aws amendment bill. Mr. J. SMITH said, he had some reaso• to believe that there would not be those objections to the bill that had formerly been urged; but if it were to pass at all, it was important that it should pass without further delay. The cause of delay was not attri buted to him. The bill was of paramount importance, it would put an end to an extensive system of swindling and perjury. Sergeant ONSLOW observed that it was gratityuig to hear that objections to the bill were not to be apprehended trom other quarters; and thought that great praise was due to the hon. member for the attention paid him to this important subject. Several clauses were agreed to, with some verbal alterations. Mr. COURT EN AY supported the clause, which said that the certificate should not he granted for a certain period, in order to enable the creditors to have time to enquire iota the bankrupt's conduct. There might be some hartlahip, but he thought it souk , be generally beneficial. Altar some further remarks from Mr. Abercrombie and Mr. J. Smith, retort ordered to be received to-morrow. Sir J, MACKINTOSH, owing to the elms attendance of members, occasioned doubtless by the late attendance that had been required during the two preceding evenings, proposed to read his bills for the amelioration and amendment of the criminal laws a second time now, and to postpone the discussion on them till the question of going into a coniinittne. The Alaiquis tat LONDONDERRY said. that his learned friend (the Solicitor Genera') was prepared to discuss die bills ice the present stage of then'. His lordship therefore saw no reason why the discussion should not pn;ceed. The bills, however, were eventually fetid a second time, without any discussion of die principle of theta, after aun.e walks hom Mr. F. Buxton, the Solicitor Guienti, etc. Mr. LUSHINGION then moved that the reportut the extra post bill be now brought up. Mr. WARRk: rose in opposition to the bill, and moved as an ameto that the report be brought up this day three months. The CHAsCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the bill.

Mr. CALCR A 1.7 remarked, that the ens. had been considered stiffielent ; and that he was as friendly to the interests of Ireland as to those of England. BANKES stated, that lie believed it was intended to propose to strike the word " Ireland" out of the bill. Mr. HVITHINsON gave notice, that he should resist such exclusion or Ireland whenever it might he proposed. Petition ordered to be printed. Mariciteirett.—Sir F. BURDETT presented a peti tion from S.

He was so wounded and incapa citated, that he had since been unable to provide for ism family. He Lusted the house would institute inquiries, and adopt measures such as would prevent the repetition of such outrages. The hon. baronet availed himself of this opportunity to do justice to Mr. Pearson, against the statement of the Solicitor General, regarding persons turned out of the Infirmary, Maneuester; he learned from good within ity that the Solicitor General bad beets wholly errolll,olll. Mr. DENMAN deemed it dne to Mr. Pearson, who, hoarse., had not desired any such explanation, to state that if there were au; fault its the application to the King's Bench. where cost had been awarded, the faith was his, arid not Mr. Pearson's.

Mr.G.BENNETTsaid,ifthe bill were not now brought forward, he did not know alien there would he a vacant day, except they sat on SAIIII dry and Sunday. Mr.HUME wished to know whether the Spoiled Stamps bill was to b- btotight torward. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not state positively. Sir J NEWPORT said, It was a bill of heavy taxation.

Mr. HUME contended, that this sum was exeeseive, and clever could he expended. Mr. GIPPS proposed to reduce the sum to 33,0001. Psi r. It. WARD opposed the reduction. The expencee of this department were very considerable, as would ap peal trom the 1110104 of expenditure, which lie was ready in lay before the house. if reqttited.

Mr. HUME thonelet the account should be laid before the house. He coutended the estimates ought to be given in detail, and not hi lumping sums of several thousands.

Mr. WARD said he had no uhjection to make the sum mentioned a vote by itself ; but really he sal a no reasons° pause au this amnion. The master gunner was generally al old veteran. Mr. HUME said that sub-lieutenants often got those places, as in the instance of Carlisle. Mr. RENNET r said Mau specific stuns ought to be always voted for specific services. Mr. WARD withdrew the motion, and moved 4,36111. fur ST master gunners. Mr. HUME Loped this would be changed next year, otherwise he would object to grants iu name of officers which did not exist.

He thought the staff might be so reduced as to save 30,0001. to the public. He understood the present item was for the regular pay, and therefore he should not oppose it.

A most awful instance of sudden death occurred about two o'clock on Friday afternoon, in Fleet. street; as a gentleman and lady were walking arm. in-arm towards St. Dunstan's church, on a sudden he gave a start and exclaimed, " 0 Lord what's the matter I " and instantly fell down speechless and in. sensible ; he was carried into the obeli of Mr. Calk, chemist, uearly opposite, where every necessary at. tention was rendered, and two or three other medical gentlemen who were sent for came, but all to no purpose, as he never breathed, nor spewed the small• est signs of life. The Ludy appeared in the deepest affliction; but owing to the great crowd round the dour, we could not learn his name, On Friday night, Mr. Dolby, of the Strand, was again apprehended under a judge's warrant, by Mr. Gibbon, the cliental' of the King's Bench. (a true bill of indictment having been sound against him at the instance of the constitutional society), for pub. lishing an alleged libel in a carricature. He was conveyed to a lock-up.house, and ordered to give ge hours notice of bail. Air.
