Mr. Bollend said, that after the statement made by his Learned Friend, he did not deem it necessary to add anything. Compel were then ordered to withdraw. A MEMBER., whose name we did not learn, said, that he lives it the neighbourhood where the occurrences detai'ed to the Com mittee- had taken place. and he wag ready to offer the same tree timpay to Mr. Kenrick's character as had been done on a former eocaltion by an Honourable Member for Surrey (Mr. Deniaona Mr. Kenrick was a man much esteemed its private life.

Mr. Secretary CANNING was desirous to knots what course die Honourable and Learned Gentleman opposite now meant to put.- ace ace! Thaspe.ech of Counsel was evanescent, and could not be re corded, so that the Committee had sat for nothing, unless some ape. edie motion should be made. 51r. DEN3IA N said, that as soon as the Houle resumed, be meant to move that the evidence should be punted. Mr. Secretary CANNING thought this would not do justice to the parties; it wield only add to the mass of accusation against Mr. Kenrick. There could tie no objection to come to a verdict to the case ; lie felt no hesitation upon it (hear, hear); and if the Honourable Meethee did not make eerie specific motion on the subiect, lie (Mr. Caning) would canaider it his duty. Mr. DEN 31A eJ .aid, he had no objection to a verdict; but he eleatiM object to tweeter it taken at present (hear, hear), es several :Members had left the Howse. The course he meant to pursue was according ro the ordinary practice. He saw nothing hi that case of Mr. Kenrick to distinguish it from any other of • ',miler cast, than his haring been hcard by Counsel at the Bar of that House. It was new to hint to Ire told that substantial justice could not be rendered if the evidence went forth to tie public, unless it were accompanied by the speech made at that Dar by his Counsel. The evidence was permanent, and the speech WlAewaneice n. hence the ieference drawn, that justice could not be rendered. Any Member might form his opinion upon the evi dence as it stood, and give his vote accordingly. The speech, it was contended, was most essential to justice; but he would ask, was it not likely that other speeches would be made for and against the Magistrate whose conduct was under their consideration, which would be likely to effect the question at bane, and was it imagined that them were not necessary to a just decision of the question ? Could it be star a moment doubted that Honourable 51embers would make speeches on the subject in discussion which, if taken collectively ; insight be coesitiesed tit material as any thing which fell from the Learned Counsel ? Ife confessed he was taken by surprise iii fiorling that no evidence was called on the other aide, when it was, beyond a question, that abundant evidence ass so completely within the reach of the Committee. lie confessed that. to his mind, the course which appeared about ti be pursued seemed without a precedent: and until such a preeelent could be shown he should feel bound to retain the opinion which he thee entertained. lie ahauld like to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman oppo• mite, end no one was better qualified than he was to afford that in formation, whether, from authority or otherwise, there existed any emimple in which evidence was rehired to he given to Members, on the ground that the speech on behalf of the accused could not he given likewise ? —The one bong permanent. and capable of record, anti the other evanescent. gad not capable of a permanent existence. This was sr argument which he conceived to be as weak as it wan novel. With these few observations he would mutate to the House h intention to move, that toe Chairman Amid then leave the Chen. and report progress; previously, hos ever, moving. dust the eve. (knee should be printed. Me. heceetary PEEL considered that the speech of the Hon. Member was entirely beside •he question—altogether clear of the real issue on which the House was called upon to decide. But though he avoided the real question, he set out with a real fallacy. He said that he had brought agrieist Mr. Kenrick what on that side it was wished he should do—whet from that side he had been ✓tquemed to do—namely. to bring a charge against Mr. Kenrick; but how had he maintained that Baser ion ? Simply by saying. that the petition presented to the House on the subject was in itself a charge. Tha• he conceived was a mat palpable fallacy—a position utterly /devoid of fettniletioe. In such a view of the sub. j et he could not but repeat his complaint, that no distinct and ape cific charge !tad been made out agahast Mr. Kenrick, and he thought there was evety right to complaist that such had not been done. He thought, too, that it was of great importance that they should that night come to a decision, and not Teske any postponement whatever. In the 1611 perewasiem abet the Committee should speedily come to a decision, he was prepared to move • Resolution to the effece that the House. having Nerd the evidence which had been adduced against Mr. Kenrick, and the speech of Commie' on his behalf, were of opinion that it was net necessary to proceed further. This SIRS what he was prepared to do if the whole matter were allowed to rest as it then stood; but, on the other hand, if the Honourable and Learned Member fie Nottingham would rise in his place and say that he had any further evidence to bring before the Committee, he (Mr Peel) foe one. was willihg ao accede to such postponment as might seem necessary, otherwise he should feel it his ditty to meta a Resolution in substance the same as he had stated to the Committee. But for the reaeoes which he had laid before the Committee, he felt it impossibie to avoid entering his protest in the name of the man against whom abundance of tome accuse. hone had been made, but against whom no definitive charge had been brought forward. Mr. A BERCROM BY must say, that if the Committee were desirous that their judgment should give satisfaction to the parties and the public, they could not follow any course worse calculated to produce that effect than the time remnitnerdcd by the Right Ho:mumble Gentleman opposite. He thought the Committee should then report pr grey., should ask leave to si: again. and there sbould be an order passed for the printing of the evidence. When he considered the constitution of that Committee, he could not believe it wise or expedient to depart from established miage. If the argument of the Honourable Gentleman were carried to an ex treme, it could not but lead to consequences, which probably he himself did not foresee, and which, assuredly, the Committee would not be disposed to sanction. Mr. Secretary CANNING was decidedly against the Committee dissolving itself without coming to sonic precise and seeeltic con clusion—ratithout coming to some vote calculated to put a satis factory termination to the inquiry. If the Honourable and Learned Gentleman opposite (Mr. Denman) did not come forward to the Cometittee ash some proposition on which it amid come to a vote, he would himself not hesitate to submit to the consideration of the Committee, a resolution, such as to his apprehension it became them to peas. He ( Mr. Canning) had no wish to interfere. He would leave the matter altogether in the hands of the Houteirable and Learned Gentleman himself, if he were then given to under stand that so soon as the evidence should be printed, such a resolu tion as he had suggested, should be submitted to the Committee. He wished not to be mistaken—he had no desire to take the matter out of the hands of the Honourable and Learned Getalentan, pro. titled he had reason to expect that it would be brought to that issue which, in his judgment, the necessity of the case seemed to require. There existed no indisposition to meet the case, either to-morrow (this day) or on Monday. Mr. DEN'IIAN said, that his intention was to more, in the first instance, that the evidence should be printed. He did not mean in she Committee to proceed any further ; and that when they had reported, and obtained leave to sit again, they would be better judges of the course which ought to be pursued. He heartily re. coined at the course which had been taken, and at the temper which seemed to prevail in the Committee. Oa the idea of sheeting to morrow (this day), he had only to observe. that the best reason foe printing the evidence would cease to operate. if they were so anon called ueon to come to a decision after the evidence should have come into the hands of Members; indeed, he very much doubted whether the evidence could even be printed within the time men tioned ; much less read, considered, and judged of by Members of that House. It would be to no purpose that the evidence were printed, unless it were in the hands of Members, and also unless it were in their hands long enough to admit of their forming on it a sound and deliberate judgment. For these reasons, then, he though; the Committee would agree with him, that the better course would be, nut to make arrangements for coraing to any decision, either that night or on the morrow, but rather to let the whole mat ter stand over until Monday at the earliest. The SPEAKER then rose from the Treasury Bench, and ad dressed the Chairman of the Committee, saying, that he did not mean to make any observations on the suggestions thrown out re specting a resolution—at least on the substance of those suggestions. Ile merely wished to make one or two observations on the form of tee proceeding. It was perfectly true, that the House having gone to a certain extent, it resolved itself into a Committee, and pro ceeded to hear evidence; and though the whole subject 'matter of the inquiry had been referred to the Committee, it could only make a report on what came before them—they could only report on such evidence as had been laid before them ; and even though that evi dence had been merely confined to that which was of a cri minatory character, it was still the business of the Committee to give its opinion thereon, and to lay before the House a resolution of sonic description or other. He could not help expressing to the Comruittee his strong impression, that so to come to a decision war absolutely incumbent upon the Committee. These observations of his did not appear to his mind to affect, in the slightest degree, the question—whether the House should meet on the morrow or not: sue whether the question should be deferred to Monday or to a more distant period. Those points he did not mean to argue, or indeed to discuss the substance of the question in any respect, but merely as the form in which the Committee might dispose of it. As to the printing of the evidence, he could undertake that it should be printed and ready tor delivery as early as might be required. Whether io-inorrow or Monday might be fixed, he could undertake that the evidence would be in the hands of Members. Mr. Secretary PEEL repeated that he thought the courae most' consistent with justice and the usages of the House would be, to pass the resolution, the outline of which he had previously describ ed, I tamely, that the Committee had nut seen enough to justify any further proceedings—that they had suflieient evidence laid before them topic ify the strong measure of puttlt,g Mr. Kenrick on his trial ; and that, having beard all the eye let:cc which had been ad (Need spinet him, they came to the conclusion that that evidence . M♦ _ :. • it, ~~ r•- ' p-- - - - 7. --, Fr••••7711 THE BRITISH PRESS. was not of a nature to make It neceseaty for the Committee to call for any further testimony with ft view to rebut that. Such were his views of the cane, and such being the eentiment3 he entertained, he was prepared to move the resolution in substonee before stated. If no the other hand, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite was I prepared with any resolution of a precise and sp:.eilic nature, lie 1 ( Mr. Peel) would most willingly give w a y t o ' him, whether the pro. 1 position were brought forward on that day, on Saturday, or on I Monday, though be curt' rind he WPM of opinibn. that it would be better to come to a final decision of the question before them with out incurring any delay whatever. lie was against delay. though 1 he had no objection that the Honourable and Learned Gentleman I should take the matter into his own hands. If it should be the de liberate opinion of the Committee that postponement wan desirchk. or necessary, he would feel bound toacquiesee, however reluctantly, 111 r. WESTERN (it was understood) concurred with the Right Honourable Gentleman who last addressed the House; but con. siderable noise prevailing at the time he spoke, seeteely any of his few observations were audible in the gallery. Mr. J. 1 V ILLIAMS observed, that a lull and fair opportunity of defence had been afforded to Mr. Kairiek, that the evidence against Min, to the extent that his floe. and Learned Friend had brought it forward. was completely gone into, and therefore it be came the Committee then to adopt a Resolution, instructing their Chairman to report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Mr. Secretary PEEL interrupted air. WILLIAMS for the our. pose of stating more precisely the view which he and his Right lion. Friends near him took of the subject. Their opinion was, that no further proceedings need be instituted, and that no further delay I should beigreed to, unless it was intimated from the other side that more evidence would be adduced, in which case they would readily agree to such postponement as might be reasonable. Mr. WILLIAMS resuintel. Such lie certainly untleneigel the sentiments of the Right Honourable Gentleman to be. Both the Learned Coonsel had been heard, and appeared confident that no ' evidence on behalf of their client was required, and (his he trusted was in the recollection of the Committee. The whole of the evi. dente which had heel heard went to the inculpation of .Ir. Ken rick, and he by hie election—that is the election made by him through his Caunsel—oigreed to rest Isis defence either upon the weakness of the testimony brought forward against hint, or upon the strength of the arguments used by the Counsel who appeared on his behalf. He unfeseed under every view which lie could 'take, hia deliberate and decided opiaioif wan, that it woold Oa. premature to decide the quesnon before them that night. The (wenn' was. first, to consider when the discussion should be renewed, and likewise. what hefted no doubt shout, the propriety of remitting that the Chsirmen of the Committee should report pro genes, and ask have to sit again. 511:DENISON would trespass on the House fora short space. Certain charges had been preferred against Mr. Kenrick, the COM mittes. had heard the arguments pro: and cat, they had heard evidence and they had heard Counsel, and for his own individual psyche would sly, that he completely and altogether agreed with ' the Right Hompirable the Secretary for the !ionic Department in the Resolution which that Right Honourable Gentleman lied sug reined tar the adoption of the Committee, and coinciding with him in sentiment as he did, he could not conscientiously but vote in accordance therewith. As to Mr. Kenriek, he hoped that he might be permitted to say that he had but very little intercourse with him in private life, and none in pub' , lie, except that which arose from opposition; but, for his port, he cared nothing whether a gentlemau waa a freeholder of the county of Surrey or of any other part of the United Kingdom. he would vote for hint, or against hhn, according to his own conscien. tioue conviction, and not permit his mind to be influenced by any local opposition. On the best review which he could then give to the arguments and the evidence, his calm. and he trusted deliberate, conviction was, that Mr. Keitiek was not to blame for refusing to proceed at once against a respectable fernier, relative to a dispute on . matter of property, as if he hail been guilty, or at least ac cused, of a felony.' He certainly was free to admit that, in the oilier ease, Mr. Kenrick had acted most injudiciously, but his offence, if such it could be called, was by no means of that cha racter which called upon the Cc:nominee to resolve upon instituting any further proceeding., or to go one tittle beyond the intended proposition of the Right lion. Gentleman opposite. Mr. J. WROTTESLEY confidently effirined, that the Corn. mittee should immediately come to somedecision upon the evidence which had been said before them. Mr. Kenrick had received a very fair trial. He had in the course of the procoelings enjoyed the ad. vantage of all that constituted a fair trial. There had been a cross. examination of the witnesses against him; there had been a full hearing of the Counsel on his behalf ; and to the side of his accusers there had been the demand fur further evidence, without anything of that nature having been produced ; and if all these proceedings did not constitute a fair trial, lie was at a loss to conceive what did. Linder such circumstances, he would gladly learn what wag to pre vent the Committee coming to a sound and satisfactory decision then, as well as at any tuture period. In the first art of Mr. Kenrick, he approved of what had been done by that gen. demon. If he were acting in a magisterial capacity, and that any one came to him in the circumstances under wide% Mr. Kennel had been applied to, he should have felt bound to adopt the settle course of conduct which he (Mr. Kenrick) had deemed it proper to pursue. A person coming to him as Miegiarate, and de. tailing to him a Wily ebout a dispute on the right of property. .in a ram could not have justified him in issuing a warrant for the ap lieetraiaina of a reepectable farmer as for a charge of felony. fie did right in not examining tapas nods, .net assewedly had be beep in .'Ur. Kenrick's place he should have taken the same course which that Gentleman hat, he conceived, properly adopted. It would have been exceedingly wrong tinder such circumstance to cast such a suspicion upon a respectable farmer as would arise front issuing a search-warrant against hint. it would have been such an en croaehment upon the liberty of the subject as could not have been justified. anti on those considerations he could not refuse to agree to Mr. Keedick's acquittal ; but though such were his opinions on one part of the case, hi entertained very different views of the other. To the latter part of the charge brought ageinst the accused he certainly had not made an equally valid defence. lie had the advantage of having been defended by tile of the ablest Counsel at the bar, who obviously used his best endeavours for the defence of his client, and yet, iii the exercise of his experienced dis cretion, he deemed the course which prudence pointed out to pass over as lightly as possible tha t part of his client's case as one to which it was dangerous to advert. ‘Vhat then was the unavoidable inference ? Nothing less than that that part of the case could tint be met. lie certainly could not agree to inflict upon 3lr. Kenrick any severe measure of punishment, at the game time that a part of his conduct could on no grounds be justified. He was quite wrong in having directed his butler to search the individual in question ; and he was also wrong in having any person locked up in a room in his house. He waa likewise to blame in directing the special consta. ble to search the pockets of the person in custody. In conclusion, lie was against any severe punishment for what was objectionable in the Magistrate's conduct ; and with regard to the first part of it, he acquitted him altogether. dlr. Secretary PEEL did not propole to exculpate Mr. Kenrick -Ihe did not affect to afford him an unqualified vindication. His ob ject was to show that that gentleman had acted wrung, though not corrupt, and throughout the whole, he could not leave out of view that lie (Mr. Kenrick) had already suffered from the effects of a civil action. Ile had, by the verdict of a Jury, been compelled to pay a sum of 2601. He And acted unwisely, but it was impossible to tied him guilty of corruption. Mr. M A BERLY thought the House bound to express its dis. approbation oh' such conduct as Mr. Kenrick had been convicted of, and lie would willingly accede to the Resolution intended to be pro posed by the Right Honourable Gentleman, if there were embodied in such Resolution some t xpression of the displeasure of the House, but as a Member of drat House he could not Agree to tell the people of Surrey that the House approved of such conduct in a Magistrate. If such a proceeding were allowed to pass without such an expression of feeling as he had thrown out, it would go abroad that the House did not choose to interfere in such cases, though it was impossible to deny that they were of the utmost im. Nrtatiee, anti that the House was bound to set its eel of dieappro bstion on such misconduct, or otherwise the . ) could never expect to have business done fairly. Mr. C. W. W. IS I'NN could not agree that the intended reso lution of his Right lion. Friend (Mr. Peel) would fusee the effect of affording to Mr. Kenrick any mead of approbation whatever. NI - hat, he would ask, was the real object of the inquiry ? It was not to pronounce an opinion upon the whole of Mr. Kenrbck's con. duct—quite the contrary, it was to determine whether or not he de.. served to be removed from his high office, and visited with censure and disgrace. The question was, did Mr. Kenrick deserve to be disqualified as a Magistrate and a Judge; for that be saw no groond whatever, therefore he preferred agreeing to the proposition of his Right Hon. Friend to acceding to any of the suggestions thrown out from the other side. He saw too g-nund for funkier pro ceedings—no ground for an Address to the Crown to remove him from his offices of a Magistrate in the county of Surrey and a Judge in Wales. Mr. A. BARING clearly thought there was no necessity for coming to any precipitate decision, for there was nothing of that extremeimpropriety in the conduct of Mr. Kennel: which de manded immediate censure from the House. Having said so much, lie could not sit down without saying that he had never seen a less satisfactory defence made on such &charge; at the same time that he did not see the necessity of going the length of addressing the Crown on the subject. lie did rot think that the delinquency of the accused was sofficiently aggravated to call for that indignant expression of the disappro bation of the House, which would de mand an immediate expression of its opinion if that were supposed to be inconsistent with a fair and impartial decision of the case. He thought it would be as well, it' not much better, to wait for the printing of the evidence before any decision could he pronounced. %Vitli regard to the time in which that minting could be effected, he would, notwithstanding what he had heard, venture to say that he almost doubted whether it would be possible to have it ready on the morrow. When that evidence should• be in the hands of Mem bers he did hope that he, on a consideration of it, should find nothing to demand further proc.enlings. Mr. Secretary CANNING said that if the Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. Denman) was prepared as the cue then stood—be did not mean at that particular time, but on the evidence and ar guments as thevlthen stood, to move ai specific Resolution crimina. tory of Mr. Kenrick: then the Resolution of his Right Hon. Friend (Ale. Peel) night be submitted in the foam of an amend. meat, on the proposition of the lion. and Learned Gentleman. If nut, the intended motion of his Right lion. Friend might come forward as a separate and independent proposition. The House having met for a specific purpose, and those concerned for the ac cusation having had no further evidence to produce, it was almost unavoidable that the House should come to a decision. On the ' subject of printing the evidence, he bad then Ito observe. that since he had last at/dressed the Committee, he bad learned, through in formation received out of doors, that the printing could not be accomplished in the short space which had been at first allotted for that purpose; but a previous process could certainly be completed • .4. - -111110 w within the time ; the notes of tho short-hand miter could be tram siTibed. So soon as the evideneeshould bein the bands of Members, he took it for grar.ted that the Hon. and 'Learned Member (Mr. Denman) would come 'inward to the Csuanthiee prepared to propose 'dine course for its adoption. Mr. DENMAN accepted the proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposites- He was strongly against e precipitate decision In ;tie!' a case; and he trusted that it would not go forth to the public that the House had been too hasty in pronouncing a verdict of acquittal upon One of their own class in society, He was not, he said, then prepare.' to move anythine specific, at the same time that his opinions with regard to the conduct of Mr. Kenrick must undefe..very great change indeed, before he could concur with Right HOn. Gentlemen opposite in the opinions which they had ex isreasel He was fixed in the opinion that it tees a case which called for the attention of Parliament, and that that House would grossly ' forget its duty if it neglected to pronounce severe censure upon the rehootoluct width bad that night been brought under its consider ation. 'Whatever mistakes, if any, which occurred In the conduct of the accusation, had arisen from his onwillingneas to criminate, for he wished the facts to make their own way. The circumstance of no evidence having beep brought forward on behalf of Mr. Ketirick was, he thought, sufficient to make a strong impression on the minds of the House, nor should the inquiry be dropped without a decided expreision of opinion, for which purpose he would submit a motion to the House. • Mr. Secretary CANNING entirely agreed with the motion of his Right Hon. Friend. Mr. Kenriel had already paid heavily in the consequences of the civil action, and es to the charg e of cot. ruption and partiality, there was not a tittle of ev id ence . %Vhen he thought the Cemmittee in danger of breaking up without coming to some epeelie resolution, he wished that some expression of opinion should be made on that aide of the House. It had been dune, sod he concurred in It. After an observation from Mr. W. SMITH, the purport of ehieh es eoulettiot collect, Mr. Secretary PEEL thoughtthe mattst should not be left in a rive of I;ilecision, which wss neither judicious nor satisfactory. A grand jury determined at once upon the evidence submitted to it, a petit jury also decided on eriden , e previous to sending an in. theidual to exeeutitr,, and he could not understand on what prin. ciple a Committee of that House was incompetent to come at once to a decision on the eviiienca submitted to them. However, as it eypeared to he the general feelin , he consented to the postpone. ment, although he ' nonittee had :done its duty in separating without coming man deefaion, to 'bleb they were perfenly comphter.t. Mr. IIiCSIK was of opinion the ends of justice would be fully answered by giving time fo- the eanaidenginn of the evidence, and then coming to a conclusion 'ken the merits of the case should have been exxinir.ed. • Mr. (IOUIsBURN concurred in what had fallen from the Right Hon. Secretary of State (Mr. P)tel), and thought the Committee should feel itself fully prepared to come to a decision at the present moment, and that there were several advantages in that course of proceeding. Whether when the House met again the Members present would be those who had heard the witnesses and evidence at the bar he did not know--mid In case they were different indi viduals, it might be doubtful whether they could come to a de cision more proper than that which-could now be adopted. Mr. WYNN thought there were two courses to be pursued ; either the Committee might proceed to a decision instenely on the evidence it had heard, or the decision might be deferred till a future opportunity. The former would be the more usual practice; but as other Gentlemen required tarther time fur consideration, he felt disposed to allow of the delay. The CHAIRMAN, previously to leaving the Chair, wished to know *healer the statement of Mr. Remick was to be printed along with the minutes of evidence, or whether the evidence was to go forth by itself. Mr. CHOKER understood it would constizute a part of the mi nutes, sad he printed along with them. The House then resumed, when the Report of the Committee was brefight up, and ordered to he prii.e al. COLONIES' TRADE BILL. The Report of the Colonies' Trade Bill was brought up. The arceadments were mad a second time, sod the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday n►at. SURPLUS OP GRANTS BILL. On the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Surplus of Grants Bill. being moved, Mr. S. RICE said, in accordance with the Report of the Com missioners of Education, in which it was recommended to attempt a more complete and extensive education in Ireland, he should move a clause to be added to the Bill by way of rider. The purport of the clause was to enable the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to with hold the whole, or a part, of the sums directed to be appropriated to the service of four establishments for the education of the poor in Ireland, as might to him appear most expedient. He felt confident the power that would be intrusted by this clause to the Chief Go vernor of Ireland would not be abused, and under this impression he thought it better to leave his hands unfettered, and permiehim to apply the sums provided as he pleased. He should like to know whether it was the intention of Hon. Gentlemen opposite to lay the evidence, as well u the Report of the Commissioners, before the House. If, through the necessary delay attendant upon printing the minutes of evidence, it could not be submitted to their conside ration previous to the recess, perhaps it would be better to lay the evidence in manuscript upon the table, and so enable Hon. Mem bers to gain an adequate idea of the contents. Mr. GOVLBURN said, it irenki he impossible to print the evidence, from its voluminous nature, in proper time to submit It to the House this Session, and that was the real reason of the delay filet had occurred. With regard to the claure proposed to be added to tbe Bill by the Hon. ()claimed (Mr. S. Rice), he felt no objec tion_ to its introduction. Mr. CHOKER wished to say Cale word on the Report of the Commissioners of Eduestioe. He felt bourn' to say, he had re. ceived information upon testimony on which he placed the fullest confidence and reliance, to the effect, that many points referred to in the Education Report, which at the time struck his mind as ca pable of explanation, could be satisfactorily explained. He would not pledge himself to the panicular nature of the explanation that could be afforded, till the Appendix to the Report was printed ; but lie was free to assure the house, that many parts of the Report refer ring to the Protestant Charter Schools in Ireland were capable of, and would receive, explanation which, be trusted, would prove sa tisfactorv. The clause " to enable the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to with hold the whole, or a part of the several sums directed to be paid to the Protestant Charter Schools in Ireland, the Society for the Sup pression of Vice, the Society for the Education of the Poor, and the Schools sum or:ed by voluntary contributions, and directing him to issue such sums, and under such limitations, as might be by cir cumstances required," was then agreed to, and ndded by way of rider to the Bill, which was read a third time and passed- S3IUOGLING PREVENTION BILL. The Order of the Day for the third reading of the Smuggling Prevention Bill was moved, and, after an observation from Mr . Bright, Mr. Curteis, and Mr. Lockhart, the Bill was read a third time, and passed. CUSTOMS TEMPORARY DUTIES BILL. The third reading of the Customs Temporary Duties Bill was postponed till Mond. CUSTOMS' LA WS REPEAL BILL. The Customs' Laws Repeal Bill was read a third time, and passed.

The Rolls Court Decries Bill was read a second time, and or dered to be committed on .Monday. LAW OF MERCHANTS BILL. This Bill went through a Committee of the whole House, and wee ordered to be brought tip on Monday neat. MR. IiENRICIP. A petition was presented from Mr. Kenrick, the Magistrate of Surrey, the prayer of which we could not collect. it was ordered to be laid on the table, and to be taken into consi. deration on Tuesday next. The other Orders of the I)ay were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at MILF-PASE NINE O . CLOCE to Monday next. ENGLISH IN FRAN C E.—Both the London and Parisian public exaggerate enormously the number of English which the present stateof peace and tranquillity has drawn to the capital of France, and some particular provinces.— Estimates made with care by the French Police, and com municated to the English Government, have just been pub lished at London, on the occasion of the debates which have taken place, both in and out of the House of Parliament, on the modification of the old laws against the emigration of manufacturers. There is in all France 1.5,000 English, and this number is rather above than under the mark. In 18/4, there was, for the time, 12,000 English at Paris, but this number vacs soon reduced, and 1800 English may be estimated as the actual number of those who habitually re ►ide at Paris; bat these receive a slight addition during the summer months. For many years past they have never exceeded 2,400. On the 13th March, 1994. there were 1,101 English in all the furnished hotels of Paris. Sonic among the English resident in France have motives of economy ; others wish to enjoy themselves, or live in a more agreeable climate. Those employed in the manufac • tures, and fomultries, amount r.sm 1.300 to 1.400, at most. There are 230 at the great iron foundery of Charen ton, 14 at that of Chaillot ; the remainder are at the fouti &ries of Allier, the cotton mills of St. Quentin, and tha various manufactories of LA Rouen, and Alsacc—Cou rite franca:re. ..~ DRURY-LAME THEATRE.

The Paris papers of Wednesday contain no domestic intelligence of importance. The correspondence from Spain relates entirely to reports on which no reliance can be placed. A letter from Mexico in the Mercantile Journal of Cadii states, that foreigners, and especially Englishmen, are viewed in that country with the utmost distrust and hatred. The writer of this letter deprives himself of all credit, by adding, that the Spaniards are becoming uni versally popular. The Madrid Gazette republishes this article with some comments more absurd than the article itself. The accounts from Greece explain the apparent contra dictions in the news from that country. It seems that Islavarino had agreed to capitulate, but Isaontst PACHA having delayed to enter into possession of the fortress, the Greeks arrived in time to save it. The Efoik announces the decease of the Princess PAL" LINA Boaanzsa, the sister of Narossow. She died on the 4th inst. of a lingering consumption, which based the skill of the most distinguished physicians. Her husband, the Prince CANILI BORGHEIi, remained with her until her last moment. Her remains will be conveyed to Rome, and interred in the Borghese chapel, at St. Maria Maggiore. [From the Monitenr of Wednesday.] NON-OFFICIAL PART. • MADRID, JUICE 8. The Gazette suttee that their Majesties are still at Aranjuez, and continue to enjoy good health. It contains numerous promotions in the church, among which is that of D. Jacinto Rodrigues Rico, Dean of the Cathedral of Zamora, to the Archbishopric of Teruel, in the room of D. Felepe Montaya Diez, deceased. A report is spread, though the Gazette don not mention it, that General plantar has already gained a signal victory over the troops of Bolivar, destroying a cores of ail or seven thousand men that was sent against him. If this victory has really been gained, the affairs of Peru will soon takes different turn especially if fresh reinforcements should arrive in time from the Peninsula.—Echo du Midi. The King will leave Aranjuez on the 25th to return lb Madrid. Ills Majesty will not go this year to Sacedou, having found the water of that place injurious to his health. It is announced at this moment that the Ambassador of Portugal has had a warm altercation with an Illustrious Personage, and that he has even been arrested. We can scarcely credit this news, however general the report may be. The Spanish polacre, La Coosmncia, from Corunna and Ferrol, was stopped the day before yesterday four leagues from Cadiz by a Colombian brig, which plundered it of every thing, and even took out four soldiers, who were on board u passengers. The number of these corsairs daily increases in these seas. We can plainly see them from the ramparts. A few days ago a privateer stopped a French vessel and seized the whole cargo, which belonged to Spanish subjects, paying the captain however the amount of his freight. The Consul of France has informed the merchants of this city, that no French ship of war will Iteneeforth escort any Spanish vessel, and that France will observe on this head the strictest neu trality. A Spanish convoy is to sail from this port for the Medi terranean under the protection of a Spanish frigate. ',From the Currier t renegue of Wednesday.l CORTI:, Mai 27. The Greeks triumph on all skim This people, great in their misfortunes, wonderful for their military successes, will render the ' nineteenth century famous AS that of its regeneration. Intercepted letters prove that Mehemet Ali, a sanguinary Pacha, whom tome mendacious apologists have styled a philanthropic Vizier, had resolved to destroy and tarry of the Christian popula tion of the Peloponnesus. The victims saved alive were to have been transported to Egypt, and formed into colonies : but the Lord has reversed the projects of iniquity. Greece, attacked in the West by troops front Epints, in the Eaat by the Turks, aided by some few Romeliota, under the orders of the twelve Pachas, who passed the Straits of Thermopylae: at the same time there disembarkel on her shores, in the South of the Peloponnesus hordes of Egyptians led by a crowd of renegades commanded by Ibrahim Pacha. As all eyes have been on that point, it is known how the son of the philanthropic Pacha has tailed in his projects of extermination, in what manner a portion of his fleet, consisting of Russian and Austrian transports, has been destroyed, slid the town of Modon burnt, with its magazines. The ()reeks might be looked upon as conquerors. when, upon the 6th May (old style) corresponding with our 10th May, a squadron, commanded by Torpal Puha, carrying 2000 Coesuls, IMO Jam :grim and 8301 Asiatics approached the shore near I'avarino, and landed the troops. Forcing his way thmngh the blockade, the Ficc-Admiral penetrated into the port of Pybs, and the advantage on the side of the Greeks became doubtful. The besieged, at the approach of the danger, hoisted a white flag, not to capitulate, for every man was resolved to die, but as the signal agreed upon between the Greeks. On a auddeu the barbarians, who were expecting a parley, were attacked by sea and land. Miaulis en. tared the port, and burnt the vessels of the Vice-Admiral Topal Fische ; the army at the same time attack and rout Cossacks, Asia tics, and Janizanes, and a double victory proclaims the triumph of the Cross. . _ . _ This event took place on the 19th May. Ascension Day, accord ing to the Oreek style. We are certain of the result ; of the details we are ignorant: bat it cannot be long before they are known. The Ckronickof mi•mtonri, in the meanwhile, announces the re treat of Boutehi Paths, of Acarnania, the defeat of the Turks in Livstlia, where a troop of these harbarians only appeared to conquer the few feet of land in which they are buried.

'However this filly be; we end the following particulars in a lenge from Miltn, slated lone 3:—'• We have here a Plenipotentiary of the Order of Malta, who is commissioned to solicit a new eitabliahment for the Order.

The Juliana is arrived from Mexico, bringing the important intelligence that the treaty of amity and commerce between that country and Great Britain, carried out to Mexico by Mr. Wean, had been approved in the Mexican Congress by a large majority. Considerable discussion, it appears, had previously arisen upon it, in consequence of the Mexicin Government having looked for a treaty of alliance as . well as of amity and commerce! it was also thought by some that the treaty should contain, in terms, a recognition of the independence of the Mexican Republic. Our transatlantic brethren may be excused for a little inexperience in diplomacy, ov they would have seen that the act of making the treaty was in itself an ant of recognition more valuable and substantial than any declaration could convey. However, common sense, it appears, prevailed over these minor considerations, sad the question, on being put to the vote in Congress, sass carried in favour of the aoceptance of the treaty by .a very large majority.
