The 'miry of the House of Commons was a little re lieved last night, by Mr. Jones, who called its attention to that whimsical thing called a breach of prieilegr—an of fence committed every day with impenit).and one which, hap pily most continue to be tommitted as long as the House re mains what It is. The offending party was the Editor of the Morning Chronicle. and the particular offence coLsisted in Ike (41 owing words : " The small majority of six last night in a House of 198, Is perfectly &Calve ef the sentiments of Members with re aneet to the-abominable proceedings in the ease of Borth wick. An analysis of that majority will be a curious exhibi tion. We Should like to see the names, they must be most valuable partisans ; they are, evidently, not men to stick at' a little." What could induce the Hon.:Umber to imagine there was any thing particular In this, we cannot eoocei re; but we are' afraid be is not • newspaper reader, in general, or his com plaints to the Honourable House of certain similar liberties would have commenced a long while ago. We really hope be will not examine our labours with so fastidious an eye ; for Heaven knows, that with all the respect we bear towards the Collective Wisdom of the country, we are often tempted to smile at its proceedings ; and we have more than once caeght ourseives,with a strong inclination to laugh outright; but, the danger of the matter has kept' our risible faculties alder a sober restraint. Yet we might hate penned * much stronger paragraph than the one which offended Mr. Jones, without any hesitation. We do not indeed •gather any eon elation from the smallness of the majority ; for we know that if necessary it would have been larger; and we know also that what Hon. Members think in the House has ect necessary connection with what they do. Mr. Jones himself Is a proof of this. He declares that ".the proceedings against Borthwick were unjust, oppressive. and illegal ; and yet he voted that they were not so, in effect ; for he voted for an impunity to the authors of them. To be sure, be said he would have voted to punish the immediate agents of the in joatiectowards Borthwlek, had the motion been confined to thed,; - but when the Honourable Mover aimed at higiteti game, and levelled his arrows at the Lord Advocate, who was so much worse than the inferior offenders, that lie did not repair the injury which had been perpetrated in the vir tue, or rather in the rice, of his authority—then he would not vote for the censure! flo much for Mr. Jones's consist ency ; and of.'this quality the " majority" was doubtless composed. Not one of them'but would snow that Borthwick bad been haidly dealt with; No one could deny this. Bot to punish a Minister I—We repeat it, it was drowning a lobster. There is uo piercing the " thick array of the thronged 11.0- ' coos of 11. e Treasury Bench." 'l'be " Majority" entrenched in *t.

THE STATESMAN - •COUKr OF CHANCHRY---(Tase DAL) • Till PORTSMOUTH CAA. bk.'HeALD said, in the above case, in appliration lied been made for the taxation and payment of the costs and expenses of the - Soit, and Commission. He bad been in formed out of Court of it, and it was considered that one `order-would be sufficient. The history of the case was as follotis : when the peti tion was presented by the Conrt, by Mr. Newton Fri. !owes, it was opposed by Lord Portsmouth,svho was then represented by a gentleman. whom he slid sot know, and in fact, had never seen. When the case Was brotight forward sod the Commission ordered, it became an im portant question who should rtrpresent Lord Portsmouth, and the- Court decided, that the gentleman who had be fore eorniticted the proceedings, should continue to do so, as he *catibt be In possession of the facts better than a stranger; and Mr. France was also directed to go on. The Lord' Chancellor said, if•it was meant to ask him for nothing maw than the recoverable an-I fair expenses, he bail ne objection to allowing them; but if it was meant to ask for the whole amount, he should• certainly not grant the praVer, shift theta Were eircomstauces placed on the record of the Court, this be could not consider ooght to appear there, and for this reason he should certainly not allow that part of them. Mr. HEALD said, be wished to arprize his Lord•iiipi that the family of Lady Portsmouth had not any thing at all to do with the defence before ihe.Commission and Jury. It was conducted by Mr. France, who refused any interference, mod if his Lordship lied been led to believe othi.rwise, it was a mistake. His Lordship, how ever,had attended to theAlfidsvits,and therefore he begged leave to intimate to hie - Lordship that he would take care that that part of the expenses relative to the Affida vits should not be introduced, after which, proliably, his Lordship would he of opinion that one order would be sufficient to comprize. the whole care, as all parties con sented. • The Lord CHANCELLOR said, he . bad no oliection to that being done, and directed an order accordingly. In the matter of Bowen and others, V.

THE COURT OF CHANCgRY. Mr. J. Williams made, last night, a chivaleome attack upon this magic castle, where sill "enthroned in doubt ing state," the most grave , and potent magician in the British dominions; but, tbouelt the enterprise was vigo rously undertaken, and zealously maintained. we see no indication that the spell will be dissolved, and the Magi cian overthrown. Mr. Williams mentioned some cases in which the suitors who 'had, unfortunately, been se duced to ehter, by the word sourer" written in tabs manic characters over the door, had been metamor phosed from snbstantisl citizens into very beggars ; and who bad never been able to find their way through tote dark passages into open day-light, while they retained a penny in their pockets. But he did not, by tortuous, give the worst instances he might have found among the victims. not of the crying philosopher, but of the weeping Chancellor's eternal system of " doubting until doubts new doubts create." Vise Attorney General, who may be considered as one of the holy guard of the Magic Hall, defended the system as the best that could be de vised. It is necessary to doubt ; because doubts produce delay, and delay was productive of expense, and law ex pence, filled the pockets of the children of the law ! The Attorney General was quite angry at the insinuation that the Chancellor " had pronounced a decision at the suggestion of one of the parties, and behind the back of the other." This ii a grave charge, indeed ; hut it appears to have originated in the goodness of the Chan cellor's heart. It seems that a Solicitor had written to him, stating that one of his clients had died of a broken heart, on account of the delay of a suit which bad continued only seven years and which had been en/y two years nod a half at the head of Me paper. This death appears to have alarmed the Chancellor. The So licitor was sent for. and employed to draw up the mi nutes-of a decree, that no more of his clients might die broken hearted, Now, if this was not equity, it is . as certainly charity ; and " charity covered' a multitude of sins." The discussion of the question was adjourned until to-day, after a slight attempt to prevent the enquiry from proceeding. Bayonne papers to the 23tli ult. which have been re ceived this morning, contain the following interesting intelligt :ice, brought by le tors from Madrid of the 22nd of May : Toey say that on the preceding day, three or four hundred monks had succeeded in inflaming the multitude against the constitutionalists, so that the pil lage of the city would have been the consequence. if the militia had not immediately taken op arms and attacked the rabble, of whom 5011 were killed and as many taken lisoners. It appears that all this would net h av e happened if the proposals of Abisbal had been at tended to. There is, however, no mention made of that General. These papers farther state, that all the towns of A rragon are still the theatre of sanguinary scenes. — At Saragossa fresh excesses were committed on Whitsunday ; four Constitutionalists were killed, and twenty-two wounded, under the eyes of the French garrison. A provisional Junta has been named in that city, compose& entirely of Ecclesiastics. Immedi ately after as meeting, it published 'decree, ordering a contribution of a million of francs, payable in 24 hours, a::1 which will bear particularly on the Constitationaliats. who will be imposed on all kinds of vexations, from the impossibility to pay so large a sum. This sum to be a preclude to the extraoftlinary contributions which will doubtless he exposed to all the provinces ot ,Spain am pied by the Army of the Faith, if it is true, as is asserted that from the Ist of Jape, the Royalist troops are no longer to be in the pay of France. Paris papers, which have come to baud to the alb Instint, contain the following TF.I.P.GRAPHIC DESPATCH: " Paws, Ju we 3.—On the 30th May, which was St. Fer dinand's day, his Royal Highness made a review of the troops, which produced a greet sensation in the inhabitants of Madrid; th• Unwires of Spain presented to his Royal Highness an Addressor adlicreuceand relic union." Neither of these pared a produce on our minds the impression at which they aim. The populace of Madrid do not comprehend the population of Spain, and the Grandees do not compose the - class in wiach either the wisdom or virtee of the nation reside. For a century past it had been the policy of Spanish monarchs to at tract the great nobility to Court. There they had mist- Aid, as in a prison, contaminated, debilitated, and cor rupted by its atmosphere, and not only useless, hut nog bus to the State. Accustomed to submission to power, they were prepared to kiss whatever band possessed it ; and when Napoleon and his brother Joseph presented themselves at liadrid, .‘ the Grandees of Spain present ed" them with addresses of adherence. he Duke del Infamado could with the more facility felicitate the ne phew of a King of France, because he bad, previously, taken office under the brother of a French Emperor. The unofficial part of the Mociteer informs us that the Madrid Regency had appointed a Ministry, but does not mention the names of the members. It also asserts, that the army of Mina is pursued without intermission, and is dispersing every day. ' With what effect it is pursued, we shall learn bv-and-by; and, as to its dispersion, we, have little doubt it is 'for the purpose of forming itself into Guerilla parties, the effect of which the French will also learn very soon. These papers inform us that the celebrated Marshal Davoust, Prince of Eckmuld, died in Paris oil the Ist instant, of a pulmo nary complaint.

GREEN'S ASCENT. • Mr. Green hes published an account of his ascent in his balloon, from the Mermaid, adiackoey,on Tuaday eveni or. After stating the eats. of the delay. and i.e im?ntience of the spectators, which was mach allayed by the iaerpositiot) of Mr. Henry Hunt, Mr. G. Wm preceeds in his 'termite ; "At seven o;gleek I found that I had obtained an ascending power, sodas so much impatience had been manifested by the spectators within the ground, I determined, without te4. ing either ballast or instruments, to delay my ascent no longer. Having entered the car. and the baboon being r,- moved to the west side of the g .rden, I gate the signal f the ropes to be looset. 4 ; but some perso f, either necidenfelly or wittully held one of the ropes, and prevented the balloon from clearing the trees. I threw out my grapple, descended and received an additional supply of gas, which I wits arged to by the Committee of the Gas Com pany, to enable me to take a sufficient quantity o r ballast to insure a safe desemt.• At a qe r,er be• ore eight I again entered the car, amidst the cloub's aad fears of a most respectable and numerous a•semhlagc, but they were instantly dispelled by my gradual nbrll in an eastward direction, aim Ist the acclamations ee as. sembled th insands. I was afraid of coming in con act wilt the tower in Hackney CJlUrelt-v4rd, which I p oke within a very few yards, bat avoidCd it by throwing 0.11 a quantity of ballast. Several persons on the top of Val weer were so very near to me as to put out their Ilan 'a to shake hands with me. 1 could not possibly rofraia• from laughing at the circumstance, and tney ceeerel me loudly as I passed. Al er I vied thrown out the ballast, I ascended rapidly, and reached an elevation o at least two miles and a half, where I form I if so intensely cold, that my fingers were paratyzed. I pawed over the left of Hackney Wick, the le .d-mills in the marshes, Lay. tonatone, Barking Side, part of Epping-forest, and to tie left of Rumford; and I descended in a clover-field belong ing to Mr. Staines, at Nitre-hill, 4 miles N. of Rumford. My fall was so very easy, hat ing checked the accelerated velo eityof the descent by the continued discharge of ballast, the: I COMM to the ground withoat recciving the least shiock or eon coasted. The appearances that I witnessed daring my voyage (it haviug been made at a different time of the day from any other of my aerial excursions), vary greatly from these l lesi previotisly ob d. The sun was setting at the time I en tered the clouds, and the reflection of its rays vartegatel them, and gave to some of them the similitude of red va pour. The appearance of the river Tnames, which on my former ascent resembled a sheet of polished metal, now wis obscured from my view by a mass of clouds or vapour rob ing over it ; the lend ott each side of it at the same time appearing very dist;nct. Epping-forest, as I passed over one part of it, appeared of a triangular form, and re- gambled a coppice covering two acres of land, the trees of which did not appear to my visual organs to be higher than gooseberry-hushes. I mention this to explain a statement made by Cai.tain Snowden, who passed over the same forest with a balloon, in company with M. , Garnerio, " That although Epping-forest did not appear target teen a gooseberry-bush. he could distinctly sew the ruts aid furrows in the fields." I have no doubt bet that gentleman mistook cross-reads aid lases for rats and furrows, which any ;mum on a first ascent would , I be likely to do; and I conceive that his observation st to the gooseberry-bush referred mutely to the height of the trees. The &tattles of the various scenes—the di versified appearance of the earth, occasioned by the get ting of the sun-eand the immense holism which my sight compassed, surpassed every thing I bad previoesly witnessed on my furtiv•r ascents at-an earlier period of the day ; and 1 certainly should lhave gratified myself by remaining up mull longer, had I not pledged myself to return, if possible, pa Hackney, the same night ; het which I was prevented from effecting, by being detained by Mr. Staines, who, very illiberally, as I conceived, forcibly seized my bal'oon, because some trilling injury had been done to his clover by persons who ran into the field to witnessmy descent, and whose natural curiosity induced them to witness a close inspection o: the aero nautical machine. Bat, notwithstanding the impedi ment, I arrived at the Mermaid, at Hackney, at two o'clock in the following warning. My thanks are doe to the Magistrates wh h w re present, anti to Mr. (tartan, the bead officer of Worshia-Areet, by whose extraiodel am mainly indebted for th.l preservation of the pout, and the safety of my person aid balloon."
