A variety of interesting sohjerts were last night presented to the attention of Parliament. In the Doom of Commoss the Sheriffs of London delivered at the Bar a Petition from the Lord Mayor, Alder. stn, and Common Councilmen, praying for the Re. bision sod Amelioration of the Penal Code. This Petition was supported by Mr. Alderman Woon and by Mr. AitlermstiWAlTHSAN, the latter of whom .then rade hi% maiden speech in that Assembly, sad obtained considerable applause on the. occasion.— Mr. BATIIU ItsT embraced the opportunity of object ing to the consideration of the subjects eacopt in a Committee, where they might be discussed -balelail, sad, b e mummer that may be deemed by some persons very parpolteroos, suggested that %rhea Ma Noble Friend came to move for his Committee on ....iiblaftaillaild-DimipUrse of Prisons. he might pro bably move that this Petition should be referred to the same Committee. The consideration of the state of prisoners in certain situations ass soon afiewards brought more particularly before the Iluuse by Mr. Ban wart, sr bra presented • Petition from Dr. II a•Lonan, complaining of cruelty in his cosi. lament presioes to trial, and subsequently since Ise bad been removed In the transport which was to comfy hrs. to New South Wales.— Many instances of incidental sod unwarranted se yeti', in other floating prisons, arising from the negligence of those who ought to have prevented them by more humane arrangements, were brought to light by several Members who took part in the dim cession; and though Mr. BATHURST represented the Petitioner as a we in the 1.0. it of imposition, soil as unworthy of credit in most of his statements, the Petition was not oppose « ; and Mr. BENNITT, after it was read and laid upon the table, gate notice, that he should bring the whole of the matters referred to before the lloese, and expressed his hope, that if the transport bad not sailed the Government would order her to be stopped. But the most Important occurrence iu the Houle of Com. mops was the declaration of the CHANCELLOR of the f.Yenrauxq " that to consequence of a communi cation made whim by the Committee of the Bank, it was now his intention to adopt a different course from that width he at first had intruded to pursue. — Instead, therefore, of proposiug the cawing:ince of the Restrlction Act, be should take an early oppor tunity of moving the appointment of a Committee of Enquiry on the subject ; het added, tl.at he should take no further steps in the business until after the disposal of Mr. Trsartev's motion." This notice was received by Mr. Ti . • - with decision, and treated as a concession extorted from the weakness of Administration, and as a marmovre designed to frustrate fair and fell enquiry by the usual management of a Secret Committee.--Thus, after all the boasting assertions respecting the ability and eagerness of the Bank to resume the pay ment of its notes in cash, the Bank is forced, by means not yet made known, to come foreard and apply to Ministers for seine Secret Committee to investigate its slicks, in order to communicate some mysterious reasons why its resumption of Cash Payments is still inexpedient, and proper to be p..st paned ! In the House of fords the Earl of I.trEnrocm made a communication similar to that of the Cu sr.

The result produced a great sensatiou. writs..

It would insult the common sense and cowmen feelings of Englishmen to terry the inference to that es tent of tame submissiou which it is the aim of their pretended friends to recommend and to urge.

The Ministerial Print., when troaiing of the pro jected alteration in the Corn La or, give cr-tit to the Public Press, " for vaporing the machinations of those interested and unfeeling individuals who would have endangered the peace of the tautly, the health of its Galicia' rysteen, and the prosperity of its cow merge, for the ouwoethy purpose of increasing their own gains." Thus far the Public will allow the credit to which these suspicious friends of the P. , ople and the Pins have 'brought proper to lay claim. But when an iwferenr• ham this admission is drawn, " that the Peopl• rmeht to repose • ith confidence in the es- Winos of the Press, and in the allghter.cd vices of I Parliament in terry thing that regards the national interest cud prosperity, it Is rather overweening in expert a confidence of such extent to be placed on Inch 'moods as are pointed oat, by a People who have had experience of the purposes to which the Peas and the Parliament have been, NI times, applied.
