By a clause introduced last night by the LORD CIIAN Ekt.on, the power hitherto enjoyed by the At torney-General, of keeping informations filed ex qfiri o suspended for au loth finite period over the head of the subject. is eery considerably abridged; fur it is provided, that if the Attorney-General sli-11 not, within twelve months after the defendant ha. pleaded the general issue, proceed to trial, the 11.1Cialarir may give 30 days' notice to the Attor u. or Solicitur-General, that he is prepared for unit, 31141 the Conrt will, on the expiration of the en thy., issue an order authorising the defendant to Intstv nit the trial. This is a Very important coo..et•smo on the part : of the Crown; bat nothing c., , u1 I be more unjust than to deprive the subject of he indulgence hitherto enjoyed of traversing, sod at the same time to leave the Attorney-General itt full possession of his extraordinary powers of I.,tpt g the trial indefinitely. The LORD H NCELLOR has thus, in a very satisfactory wan t:, r, redeemed the pledge he gave the House, and hal even game beyond the suggestion made by Lord I hit LAND. who, on first drawing the attention of the ['matte to this important matter, proposed, that if the retie did not proceed to trial within eighteen months after the filing of the information or find ittg of the indictment. the defendant should be do., barged from all responsibility. In pursuance of au order of the House of Coo mons, Mr. STODART. the bookseller, attended last alight at the bar, and corroborated a statement pre viously made in the House by Mr. ELLICE, that Mr. Ifontioustt was the author of the pamphlet entitled " A Try ling Mistake, 4-c." Mr. ELLICE era informed the House, that Mr. HOSHOUSE had authorised him to say that he was ready to obey their orders. In consequence of this notification, it was not thought necessary to summon Mr. Hos- Itiousg. os , give him an opportunity of saying any thing in his defence; but Mr. COURTE!t&Y moved that be should be committed to Newgate. Sir Caisauta 'Waif I,L, unwilling that a Gentleman of Mr. fluutiouse's rank ■nd habits should be ettetisiumated by the .association which Newgate strareht, moved as en amendment, that he should Le collimated to the custody of the Serjesnt at Arms.

Is, some core is used that the penalty pro posed should be extended to all persons who shall endeavour to bring either House of Parliament into blued or contempt with the people; but con sid.ring the nature of the powers assumed by the Haute of Commons in punishing libels, even without the form of a trial, such care on the part of the Legislature is unnecessary. The House punishes in a summary way Ell breeches of privilege, but a breach of privilege seems to be nit more capable of an accurate definition than libel at the common law. The House ought of right to have the power of punish ing all offences committed against its dignity, and the solemnity and order of its proceedings, when committed by one of its own Members, or by any other individual within the precinct of their House; but it . the House of Commons exercise a power be yond thus, and undertake to punish any of his Ma jesty'', "objects, who in the opinion of a majority a the Members may be thought to be guilty of a libel, we cannot see any good reason for denying the same power to the Kiug's Majesty.

Lord ALTHoRP hes given notice that he will to-morrow submit a Bill to the lionise of Com- Mons for the relief of Insolvent Debtors. ‘l'e are bumpy to find that this important subject will be taken up at this early period of the Session, as it will afford sufficient time for due consideration. The Bill introduced in the former Session was very defective, notwithstanding the great length of time dint was expended in framing it. The (louse of Lords is. we think, better adopted for considering a measure of this 'suture than the House of Com mons; for. independent of the vast advantage which must be derived from the immediate application of the legislative experience. legal knowledge, and sound judgment of the LORD Cmsocist.Lom to a subject of this description, the Lords in general proceed upon more comprehensive and abstract principles of legislation than the ether House, loud are not liable to be infleettend by thew local mod Mr dividool interests. which, freesiM popelse comstitts. tier), most be expected to mime isms mere active openstitio in the Geese of Commems on say 'object connected with the imerwol tesde of the country. We hope that oo time will be lost in eroding it to the Lord., sad that the country will mot be com pelled to submit for another year to the continuance of the present Insolvent Debtors' Act. We have received !rum and petters from Dublin from the 7th to the gth inclusive. Our private accounts state, that the hopes of the Ca tholics in the success of their caws, are net • little raised by the general tramoillity of the country, which they flitter themselves will be considered by the Imperial Parliament, as a test of their Joy ally. and furnishing u claim to indulgence. It might be therefore presumed, that the present would be considered a favourable opportunity for the discussion of this greet question. It seems however, that there is • difference of opinion on this point, as we titid at a meeting of the Catholic Inliebitants of the parishes of St. Mary, Si. Thomas, and St. George, on Tuesday last. a letter from Mr. O'Cowest.i. was readotating, lie had reason to know it was the wish of some of the advocates of the Catholic Claims in Parliament, to postpotie the consideration and discussion of the Que►t►on until after the expiration of the present Session. He recommended. however, promptitude of exertion in the futherance of their interests; and the imme diate preparation of their Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, where he considered it most desir able they should be presented by their friends with out delay. Some interesting particulars respecting the alarm excited in the county of Durham will be f din another pail of our Paper. It is collected from the provincial Papers; but we have seen an article purporting to r ome from authority, which states, that the account of the evidence laid before the ge• final meeting of the Magistrates of the county of Durham is incorrect. That some errors may have crept into it is only what might be expected. We regret that the informant has not ventured to state that the account was not substantially true.

The fillowing particulars are extracted from the Provocciul Papers recrivrol yesterday :-- A meeting of the Magistrates of this county was held at the Jusisce-scum here on Wednesday last, "for Ike por poise of taking into consideration the political state of Chester Ward, and to adopt such measures as s ircumstances may seem to render expedient."

The number of the dig. strictest between the rivers Tyne and Wear was stated, as or "re informed, ■t 2,000; pikes had been made in some pasts of Chester Ward according to a particular model. Many pitmen are said In have adopted the radical principles. At Jas row it is stated there are 5 climes; at Sheriff Hill 6; at Pesislanw i ; and at Rasolon 19.
