The Sun. — London, England, 1837-07-15 00:00:00

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 15, 1837. From all we can gather o w n the subject, and we have taken some pains to obtain the best information, the elections bid fair to give the Government as overwhelm ing a majority as they had in the first Parliament after the Reform Bill. To begin with the City of London. Four Liberals will be returned for the metropolis ; and these not mere milk-and -water, or bit-by-bit Liberals, but all good men and true, who are decided and uncompromising in their policy. and not to be scared from the path of duty by the Conservative howl of anarchy, revolution, and so forth. The majority of the metropolitan boroughs are nearly equally secure, ahhough the enemy are not without hopes—faint ones enough, Heaven knows !—that they may be enabled to smuggle in an odd Conservative or so. As re gards Westminster, Sir GEORGE MURRAY has about a s goo d a chance of getting in for this city, as Sir .FRANCIS BunDETT would have, were he to take the advic e of the Times, and once again set up as a candidate. The Westminster electors, many of whom have already repented of their late ill-judged sym pathy for " Old Glory," are resolved to return none other than EVANS and LEADER—an ex ample which Middlesex will follow by affixing M.P. to the n ames of HUMand B YNG . Through out the provinces the prospects of Reform are quite as cheering. Sir JAMES GRAHA M will never again sit for Cumberland, and we question much whether he Elsewh ere , espec i ally in the will even go to the poll. boroughs, the Tories will be kicked out by wholesale. The Carlton Club cash will not save them in Bristol or Liverpool ; in Manchester, Oldham, and every other town where the population exceeds a corrupti ble number, they will not venture to spew their faces ; even BILLY Holm E3 . S smock frock—and we allow its respectable influence—will not save Bridgewater ; and Colonel SIBTHORP, despite his whiskers, must take a long farewell of Lincoln ; as Mr. WALTER, despite his Poor Law Opposition, has already done of Berk shire. These are encouraging facts, but instead of induc ing us to relax, they should have the effect of making us persevere in, our exertions. We should not rest satisfied with an imperfect victory, but be content with nothing short of a Waterloo. We should resolve not merely to subdue, but to annihilate, Toryism, We have every inducement we could possibly desire, to be energetic and uncompromising in our conduct. Back stairs influence no longer sits squatted at the ear of Royalty, like the DEVIL at the ear of EVE; our young QUEEN is with us—wholly with us—we have, therefore, a sense of Loyalty superadded to our other inducements to activity. Let him who venerates his youthful Monarch make every effort within his power to advocate the cause of Reform. Let him test his loyalty by his zeal ; and 4cv that he is in heart a good subject, by aiding the return of those men to Parliament who will support a Government which VICTORIA honours with her unqualified approbation. As for the Conservatives, let no elector listen to their promises for an instant ; for Con servative professions are like pie -crusts, made only to be broken. Who is—or was till lately---the avowed head of the C onservative party in Great Britain ? The Duke of CUMBERLAND—We beg his pardon, the King of HAxovEn—whose very first step on ascending the throne of that kingdom has been, to threaten its Constitution with a total overthrow Bear this in mind, countrymen, and remember also that just as his Hanoverian MAJESTY acts towards his people, would the Conservatives act towards you were they ever again to be entrusted with power. Down, therefore, with them all. Now or never is the time —now, when events are working hourly i❑ the good cause. We respect a Tory of the good, old, stiff-necked school. However bigotted lie may be, he has at least the merit of being conscientious ; but as for your trimming, fawning, mealy-mouthed Conservative, silo shows white on the hustings, and black in the senate ; who, ashamed of his original appellation, makes all possible speed to exchange it for an alias—for this poor vacillating creature we entertain no other feeling than that of unmitigated contempt. Down, there fore, we repeat, w:th all such hollow, truckling politi cians. Th e y are not to be believed, even on their oaths. They would sacrifice every thing that man holds most sacred ; make promise after promise, and bolt pledge after pledge ; did they think that that by so doing, they would be likely to gain even a Mount Pisgah view of the Promised Land of office. We saw how they acted during the progress' of the Reform Bill ; and have Seen them since trying their best to neutralize its provisions, under the specious pretext of promoting good Government. Were it pos sible for this Un-English faction to resume the reins of power, there is no public calamity so great that might not be expected to result from such an event. The weight of taxation would be increased to a dead certainty ; jobs of all kinds would flourish in all their old rank exuberance; Ireland would be in a state of convulsion from one end to the other ; and, likely enough, the flames of war would be lighted up throughout Europe. But vve need not apprehend the advent of such enormities, if we only resolve to turn to good account the power with which the Reform Bill has furnished us. To be irresistible, we need only to be united. Let us, then, take for our motto—" Down with the Conservatives," and act on it with vigour and unanimity. Away with all paltry jealousies and differences of opinion. They are unworthy of men engaged in a cause like ours ; and serve no other pur pose than to encourage the hopes of that grasping, reckless, intolerant faction, which, when it quitted office in 1830, left us " Swing," by way of a parting legacy. The QUEEN held a Court yesterday at Buckingham Palace, and received .Addresses of Congratulation from various public bodies on her MAJESTY'S accession to the Throne. Among these the deputa tions from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge were conspicuously numerous, comprising between 700 and 800 Members. It is not, however, the num ber of these learned folks, great as it was, that formed the most interesting object of contemplation. In our eyes, and in the eyes of all the friends of civil and religious liberty, the great point of attraction will be the answer which her MAJESTY gave to the Address from the Universisy of Cambridge. That address was as usual, a formality—a tissue of phrases dressed up for the occasion; plentifully interlarded with claims of " favour and protection," and so forth. Not so the QUEEN'S answer. Her MAJESTY said, that " whilst she would continue the favour and protection which her predecessors had vouchsafed towards them, she would also endeavour to extend the sphere of their utility." This extension of utility struck the ad dressers like the shower of a cold bath—they did not expect any breaking up of their exclusiveness, and they did not know how to look, or how to conceal their mortification. What a noble prospect does this most auspicious announcement give to the country ! Thus every succeeding day developes some trait or other in the character of our young and amiable QUEEN, which proves that she has been educated, not in the school of antiquated prejudice, but in that of enlight ened reform. Every public act which she has per formed since she came to the Throne affords a well-grounded and cheering hope that with the new reign a new era has commenced. The exclusive principles in which our former Sove reigns had been nursed, and by which the minds of even the best intentioned of them wore fettered and cramped, find no place in the breast of VICTO RIA. The extension of the benefits to be derived from our national institutions, the diffusion of the blessings of our glorious Constitution among all classes, without regard to the paltry distinctions of sect or party, are the objects which she has been taught to consider of paramount importance to the happiness of the people, and the well-being of the empire, and which it will be her earnest and hearty en deavour to promote to the utmost of her power. There can, we repeat, no shadow of doubt rest on the course which her MAJESTY is Nailed to pursue. That course is so decidedly liberal that none but fools or knaves can question it ; but, nevertheless, it must not be dissembled that the degree in which she may be able to confer upon her subjects the benefits we have mentioned—the extent to which she may carry into effect the principles instilled into her mind by the best of mothers, and approved by her own ex cellent understanding—must depend entirely'on:the de gree of support which she receives from the people themselves. If they are disappointed, they will have themselves alone to blame. They cannot now com plain that the Court is against Reform--that their wishes are thwarted in high places—that what is done with the one hand is undone with the other. The Re formers have the SOVEREIGN with them heart and hand. Let them prove by their actions that they know how to appreciate so great an advantage. Let them e:nbrace the golden opportunity which now offers, and will never offer again. Let them second their QUEEN in her efforts in their behalf, in the only way in which they can effectually second them—by returning to ~ Par liament a safficient number of " good men a nd true to keep the Lords in order. This is the one thing needful. +NM W e call the attention of the Electors of Great Bri tain and Ireland to two letters addressed to the Editor of the Morning Post, by the Earl of SHREWSBURY and Mr. Witrarrr, the highly respectable Catholic Banker, o n the subject of the representation of the Borough of Portarlingt on, which will be found in our column s of this day, They afford an admirable illustration of th e count l ess ca l umn i es resor . ted to by the Conservative s with a view to damage the liberal cause. All other engines of corruption having 1 partielly fai)(A—thts " No Poperr pr 7 h a ving been hooted down by every honest man in the United kingdom—the sheet-anchor of despotism, CUM BERLAND, having been transported from our shores in punishment, we presume, of the sins of Hano ver—nothing remains to the faction, now at its last gasp, but to try the effect flagrant falsehoods twir have upon the minds of the Electoral body. There is no .0 re dependen,:e upon the support of the father of lies. He is apt to betray his votaries at the moment when they have the greatest need of his assistance ; and he most mischievously guided the Conservatives when he prompted them to charge with bribery two of the most immaculate public characters in England. Had the Tories had CUMBERLAND to guide them, they would nut have been constrained to stoop to such sneaking shifts to procure the restoration to power of a faction so heartily detested by the peo. plc. Their idol would have called upon the Orange Lodges, of which he is the Grand Cl_.art rv a la in thester,tosaasisTiiest hiway in trampling upon Magna which he is now trampling upon the Constitution of Hanover. But, thank Heaven, all hopes built upon the chance of his accession to the Throne of these realms have vanished for ever ; and the Tories in despair resort to the meanest and most malig !lard calumnies, to avert their utter destruction. Let this exposure of their baseness, prove a warn ing to the Liberal electors. Let no reliance be placed on their statements—their solemn assertions—their oaths. They will lie through thick and thin, to iduence the return of the most unworthy sentative of their faction ; let no Reformer, therefore, give any credit to anything proceeding from so dis reputable a quarter. We cannot conceive a more striking proof of ou r being nationally objects of Divine solicitude—of our being as a people the peculiar care of a benevolent pro. tecting Providence—than has been manifested in the removal of the Duke of CUMBERLAND from our shores to the hereditary Throne of his Royal and Electoral Ancestors. had it pleased Heaven to scourge us by calling him to the supreme authority in this country, we have in one of his MAJESTY'S first public acts in Hanover, an intimation •of what would have been his first experiment .upon public opinion here. He has commenced his Royal career by pro claiming his determination to abolish the Constitution of the Kingdom I—a Constitutio❑ sworn to by his Royal brother, but which he declares to be neither in form nor substance binding upon him. Now we do not hesitate to declare that .without her present Con stitution Hanover has no right 'whatever to be consi dered a kingdom. With the Constitution ought to fall the Kingly power, the Sovereign at once descending to the humble rank of. an Elector of the empire. The same powers that guaranteed to Hanover the dignity of a Royal Crown, granted her a Constitution which was to stand or fall with it. But this is a view of tile question in the contemplation of which we arc, compa ratively speaking, but little interested. What we chiefly look to is the irrefragible proof offered by the following official document of the happy deliverance England has had from the direful events that would have assuredly followed the accession of the Duke of CUMBERLAND to the Throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland : " LETTERS PATENT CONCERNING THE DEATH OF 1113 MAJESTY ICING WILLIAM IV., AND TILE ASCENSION OF HIS MAJESTY ICING ERNEST AUGUSTUS. " Ernest Augustus, by the grace of God King of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick and Luneburg, &c. Royal Prince of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Cum berland," It has pleased the Almighty to call out of the world, on the 20th of this month, our late revered brother, the mist and most puissant Plinee, William I V., King of the United Kingaom of Great Britain and Ireland, and al.° King of Hanovt r, Duke of Brunsaick and Luneburg, &c., and thereby to plunge us, our royal house, and all faithful subjects, in the most profound affliction. " Now, as by virtue of the rights of primogeniture pre vailing in our royal house, the succession to the Government of our kingdom of Ilanover has fallen to us, we have already en tered upon it with all our hereditary rights. We are pleased hereby to make the same kno wn , an d h ave f u ll confidence in all our loyal spiritual and tempo ra l servants , vass als, and subjects, that they will pay to us their b o u n d en d uty , fidelity, and obe dience, and always be devoted to us with sincere attachment. On the other hand, we assure all of our royal benevolence and favour, and of our sovereign protection, and shall make it the constant object of our earnest wishes and efforts paternally to promote in every possible manner, the happiness and the prosperity of the subjects confided to us by Divine Provi dence. This being the object of our endeavours, we have been convinced that in many points tile Constitution does not correspond with our wishes, which are solely directed to the promotion of the good of our faithful subjects. Being re solved shortly to make known to our faithful people our views on this most important subject, we do not hesitate to declare that we cannot find in the Constitution, which neithe r in form nor substance is binding on us, a sufficient gu arantee for the permanent prosperity of our faithful subjects, whose welfa re it will be our most earnest endeavour to promote, according to the duties imposed on us by Divine Providence. Meantime it is far from our intention to take our royal resolution on this im portant matter without a careful examination of all the circum stances. It is, on the contrary, our royal will to devote the raost careful consideration to the question whether and how far a modification of the Constitution should be brought back to shat it was before the promulgation of the present Constitu tion. After which we shall convoke the General Assembly of the States, and impart to them our royal resolution. Our faithful subjects firmly enjoyed happiness and satisfaction un der the ancient hereditary constitution of the kingdom : bond of attachment, and loyalty and confidenc e i n t h eir Sove reign, descending from generation to generati on , promoted the happiness of the Sovereign, and the welfare o f t h e sub jects. We most earnestly wish to establish such a happy state of things. " We have not required our State and Cabinet Ministers, who took their oaths according to the Constitution, to circu late these letters patent, but have caused them to be counter signed by our State and Cabinet Minister, N. Schele, wh o caused them to take the oath to us, omitting the obligation to observe the Constitution. We trust to the ancient affection and loyalty of our Hanoverian people to their Sovereign, that all our beloved subjects will await calmly, and with full confidence in our benevolent intentions, our consideration of the above question, and be convinced that in this consideration we shall seek their advantage. " M the same time that, till further orders, all shall con tinue in our kingdom of Hanover in its present course, and we command that this our proclamation shall be posted up in all public places, and afterwards sent back to our Cabinet Mi nistry, with a certificate of its having been published as above. (L. S.) " ERNEST AUGUSTUS. " G. VON SCHELE. " Hanover, July 5, 1837." The Reformers must not suppose that our gratitude to heaven for mercifully averting the accession of the PRINCE to the Throne of these realms who issued the above despotical manifesto, originates in time doubt of the result of the mortal struggle that would ensue. Right well do we know on whose side would be the victory. The events which placed the House of Hanover on the Throne of these realms are too fresh in our memory to permit us for an instant to doubt the certain triumph of the people. But when liberty can be maintained without forcing a nation through the bloody and demoralizing ordeal of a revolution, a glo rious moral triumph is achieved for which mankind cannot be too grateful to the Almighty Ruler and Di rector of the destinies of all sublunary states. A single day would at any time suffice to deliver England from the yoke about to be imposed on Hanover ; but such a day, we hope not to live to witness. What course the Hanoverians will take with respect to the maintenance of their Constitution remains to be seen. If they allow it to be thus wrested from them' at the command of a Despot, we will only say of them that they a►e subjects every way worthy of the Sove reign who now claims their love and allegiance. We know what we would do under similar circum stances ; and so, likewise do they. What we would do ourselves, that would we recommend to others, did we hope that our counsel would influence their conduct. It may be of some moment to the people of Hanover to know that the British Government will not lend itself to support the absolute policy of the Duke of C U MBERLAND in his newly acquired dominions. If they soceumb to Royal Dearep, abolishing their Constitulion, they will h a v e only themselves to blame for the loss of • their liberties. They are strong enough to assert their own independence, and should they do so in a Coustitutional manner, they have nothing to fear, but on the contrary, everything to hope from the liberal mympathies of England. The whole of the French Papers of Thursday have been received. They are dest►tute of any domestic news worth communicating. The Government had re ceived from Spain the following telegraphic dispatches: " PERPIGNAN, JULY 12. " NARnONNE, JULY 11 . —Barcelona was tranquil on the 9th, and the new Constitution had been proclaimed there. A courier was to have left it on the 10th for Bergs." " The Baron de Meer was on the 7th at Parnadella, on his return from the Ebro. " BAYONNE, JULY 10, EIGHT P.M.—Nlirasol has arrived at Bayonne. Jaureguy has temporarily taken the command, O'Donnell keeping that of the vanguard. The troops have been paid, and tranquillity restored. Similar troubles took place at Bilboa and Castro, but without any bad results. Gen. Rendon is not dead, nor has there been any engagement at Hernani. Espartero, appointed generalissim o of the troops acting against Don Carlos in Catalonia, Valencia, Arragon, and Castile, remains nominal Commander-in -Chief of the Army of the North, of which Escalera takes the direction. Espartero, with some troops, has gone to the head-quarters of Oraa, who is at Teruel, where Buerens is to join them on the 9th with his division. The corps of Nogueras was at Alca nitz, and another at Ilijar. Don Carlos was on the sth at La Cenia. He was rejoined by Quelez and the cavalry, who had gone after the passage of the Ebro. On the 6th General Escalera returned to Logrono with all the troops. The Car lists in the Incartaciones returned likewise." Don CA RLOS will not reach Madrid this year at the rate at which he has progressed since he crossed the Ebro. His mode of warfare, too—.which is that of GOMEZ and CABRERA—indicates that he has more faith in the fleetness, than in the valour of hi 4 fol lowers. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Portsmouth, July 11, 1837. NOTICE. We shall be happy to receive ELECTION Com munications and Advertisements, from all parts of the Country. The SUN circulates everywhere— but more especially among large Constituencies. THE SUN IS ESSENTIALLY A METROPOLITAN COUNTRY NEWSPAPER. The EARLIEST INTELLIGENCE will always be found in THE SUN. FURTHER NOTICE. Since the opening of the Grand Junction Railway from Birmingham to the North, the circulation of THE SUN has already greatly increased, and must con tinue to increase. The reason is obvious. TH E SUN can now be received in the North several hours earlier than usual, so as in many pl aces t o b ecome a , Morning Pap er . A Second Edition of THE SUN, giving the Closing Prices of the Funds, the last Prices of Shares, Banking and other Companies, Market Intelligence, Bankrupts, Army Promotions, and all Political News arriving in London, up to the hour of Post, may be received in Manchester, Liverpool, 4-c., the following morning ; and in Edinburgh, Glas gow, and other parts of Scotland in a proportionably short time. The same principle will apply to other parts of the country when once the Railroads are open, and the sooner they are the better—for THE SUN is a Railway Paper, having been the only Lon dolt Journal that for the last eight years consistently and uniformly supported the extension of Railways. Ti m e saved is money saved—and distance saved -is time saved. IVhen once the Railway principle is universally in motion commerce will be trebled—and young men entering on business, at the age of 21, trill have seen us much of the world, and consequently bCcome better and more intelligent citizens,, for all the great purposes qflife, as their great great grandfathers • did at the advanced age ofjbur generations. Know ledge is power—and a Newspaper contains every species of useful knowledge in the most attractive form. SUN Newspaper Office, 112, Strand, London. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. c t Zbie THE SUN, LONDON, SATUILDA V, JULY M, 1837, The following are extracts from the Journals : The Toulonnais contains the following article : " If we may believe, from some who are in general we ll informed, the new expedition against Consta7 . ;: ina w i ll irrevo cably take place in the mon th o f —'eptember next. Will a garrison be left at Constautina? This is not very probable, if we may judge by past eventa and vet, to go to Constantina, and not leave a gerrieon in it, would be nothing more thai to have beet tiro water with the sword. The Government is fully aware of this ; but it would suffer the colony to perish, rather than modify its system. Yet what fear need be entertained for this warrisoa, if it were composed of 2,000 natives and 2,000 French, within three days' journey of the camp at Ghelma, with 3,000 or 4,000 men ? " There is therefore only one course to follow--to change Achmet Bey, if he will not submit to conditions of peace honourable to France, and put in his place a man of an ener getic character, with a guard of 4,000 men. We should then see the chiefs of tribes, who have vowed implacaMe hatred to Achmet, hasten to support this new power.—(The writer here mentions the names of many great chiefs.) " As soon as the four battalions which the Fortune, Facrie, Marne, and Caravan corvettes, and the steam-boats, are to convey from Oran to Bona, have reached Ghelma, Colonel Duoivier, in concert with General Trebel, is to undertake strong reconnoissances to the south of Ghelma, in order to determine which is the most easy road. It is believed that the army will fall into the road from Tunis to Constantina, which runs through magnificent plains, and turns the whole mountain range of the Akba. This route would make the march from Ghelma to Constantina longer by a day, but all the difficulties presented by the road taken by Marshal Clausel would be avoided, and the troops would have to pass and re pass, five or six times, the Seybouse, the Oued Zenati, and other rivers."—Le Commerce.

We ex tract the following from the New York Price Current of the 2lst June:-_ " EXCHANGES —Since the sailing of the last packet for Europe nothing of importance has taken place in Foreign Bills of Exchange, and our quotations consequently continue as before. Specie continues to maintain high rates of pre mium. We understand that a sale of 20,000 Mexican dollars had been made at 13 per cent., exchange 14 to 20 premium ; French exchange, 5 francs to 5 francs 10 cents. ; Bank Shares 1071 to 108. MExico.—Letters have,been received in Washington, by the Express Mail from New Orleans, of the Bth June. Ge neral Santa Anna has declared against centralism, and in favour of the Constitution of 1824. The capture of the Louisiana and Champion by the Brazilian squadron, was an nounced by express to the Government at Mexico, which pro duced much exultation. The day following brought the news of the re-capture of the Louisiana, and the capture of the General Urrea, by the sloop of war Natchez, and great ex citement was occasioned by the announcement. Hostile mea sures were immediately spoken of." We have received Montreal Papers. There is every reason to believe that at the ensuing session of the Provincial Parlia ment of Upper Canada, Allan M'Nab, Esq., of Hamilton, will be chosen Speaker of the Assembly. We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 7th May. They state :—" We have received letters from different parts of the Frontier, from which we learn that several rob beries of cattle and horses have recently been committed. In Cafferland, we are informed, all is quiet, and a disposition prevails among the Caffers to continue so." THE VUNDS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, JuLr 14. The SPEAKER took the chair -at Four o'Clock. A person from the Office of Woods and Forests pre sewed papers. Mr. BATES presented returns from the Masters of the Exchequer. Mr. Campbell,- from the Eas't, India House, presented despatches respecting the Burmese prize money. Lord SANDON brought up the 4cport upon the Mar quis of Butes' Estate Bill, which was read a third time and passed. Oa the motion of Mr. BROTHER'FON, the Lords' amendments to the Bolton and Preston Railway were agreed to. - Upon the motion of the same HON. MEMBER, the Lords' amendments on the Bristol Cemetery Bill were agreed to, Sir W. MOLESWORTH presented a petition from the Under Graduates of Cambridge, praying for a Reform in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The Hon. Baronet gave notice that should he have the honour of a seat in the House in the next Session, it was his intention to introduce a Bill upon the subject. Mr.WILKS presented a petition from Cambridge against the New Poor Law Bill. Sir R. I NGLI '. presented a petition (as we understood) from London, praying for a repeal of the Catholic Emanci pation Bill. Mr. BONHAM presented a petition from Manchester against the New Poor Law Bill. Mr. MAXWELL presented a petitict'a from Falkirk against negro apprenticeship in the Waft Indies. Mr. E. J. STANLEY brought up papers from the Trea sury, which were laid on the table.

Mr. HUM E presented a petition from the Dissenters of Newington, against Church-rates.

West India fund, and he was then informed that there would be no objection to make the return. He begged to ask now, whether her Majesty's Government had any objection to the return ? Mr. W. GLADSTONE saw a very considerable objec tion to the return being made, on the ground that it'would expose the private circumstances of many individuals. If there was any suspicion of a dereliction of duty on the part of the Commissioners, or any idea of malversation, then there might be a ground for the motion. ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTMENTS SUS- PENSION BILL. The Order of the Day for the consideration of the Lords' Amendments on the Ecclesiastical Appointments Suspension Bill having been read, Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved that the House do disagree with the Lords' amendments to this Bill. The House of Commons last year bad the whole matter un der their consideration, and did not think proper to insert any such clause as that which had been introduced by the Lords. He thought the House of Commons might fairly be allowed to consider the claims of persons who were their own officers, and if they allowed the House of Lords to exercise any judg ment upon such matters it would be establishing a prece dent of interference which he was not willing to sanetioh. —(Hear.) The lion. Member for Oxford had stated what was perfectly true, that they might accept the clause, and that the Crow❑ might not think fit to act upon it.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It had occurred to him that if they were to accept the clause, the Noble Lord at the head of the Ministry might exercise his own discretion in recommending those persons to the favour of the Crown, and in the exercise of that discretion he might not think fit to recommend them to the Royal favouN But he was of opi nion that that would not be fair, and therefore be Wished to meet the question fairly. With respect to the general question of whether those gentlemen had a claim or not, he did not think it necessary to enter upon that now ; but it certainly was a question which the majority of the House had considered in the last Session of Parliament. However, he would be ready upon any future occasion •to enter into the whole question again ; and if those in dividuals had a well-founded claim, he should be ready to state his opinion upon it. What he meant to say was, that the House ought not to allow an imputation to be made that they had not done justice to those gentleman who had performed the duty of chaplains to the House—( Hear) —and the House of Lords had no right whatever to say the House of Commons had acted unjustly or unfairly towards its own ofEeers,—( Hear, bear.) The Noble Lord then moved that the House do disagree to the Lords' amendments. Sir It. INGLIS said he should more, if lie could, that the 'House do agree to the Lords' amendments, and he should resist the motion of the Noble Lord on the grounds on which he stated he should resist it yesterday. The honour of that House and the honour of the Crown were pledged` tO what the Noble Lord had called an act of favour, but which he called an act of justice. The cnly point on which a difference of opinion could exist, was whe ther the measure should originate in that House or in the House of Lords. Until he was told from higher authority than any be saw opposite that it was an interference with the privileges of the House, he would not believe it to be so. It was no e.ompromise for the House to do justice. The Crown had promised to give these gentlemen some preferment, and therefore he moved the retention of the clause. Mr. HUME, considering the manner in which the Hon. Baronet stood for the privileges of the two houses, was surprised to find him upon that occasion willing to sacrifice their privileges to the other House. He was one of a Committee up stairs which wished to inquire into the remuneration of the officers of the House of Lords, and they were told that the rule was so strict, that no in terference could take place, except the House of Com mons resisted the grant in the Committee of Supply. —( Hear.) Such being the case, he thought it would be giving up the privileges of the House if they allowed the Interference of the other House. He was bound to say that he thought the Gentlemen had a fair claim to some preferment ; but he never could consent to allow the other House to dictate to them the line and conduct they should pursue. Mr. ESTCOURT said he agreed with every word which had fallen from his Hon. Colleague, and would divide with him. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the motion For the Amendment ll Majority in favour of the rejection of the Lords' Amendments —36 . On our re-admission to the Gallery we found Lord J. RUSSELL on his legs, moving that the House should disagree to another of the amendments of the Lords. Mr. HUME wished to suggest to the Noble Lord, as it was quite apparent that some alteration must take place, and as the present Bill was merely a temporary sus pending of the appointment if particular officers until a more comprehensive measure of R4orni was introduced, to call the attention of the Commissioners to the subject., for the purpose of seeing whether or not the salaries of the clergy might be increased by reducing the number of churches in certain parishes. Lord J. RUSSELL said the attention of the Commis sioners had been already called to the subject alluded to by the Hon. Member. As to the general plan which had been suggested, he thought that in the present state of the patronage of the Church, and the long-established usages existing in different parishes, it would be impossible to carry it into effect. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE being one of those who had voted against the clause, and in favour of the amendment made by the Lords, he wished to ask whether these Chap lains were to be for ever precluded from receiving that pro motion to. which the House and the Crown had assented. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had already stated that that question was quite open to the consideration of the House of Commons in another year. If the rule had been acted upon in all cases since Earl Grey came into power, it would have been impossible to have recommended any other per sons. The whole of the dignities of the Church would have been absorbed by the chaplains of the I - rouse of Commons, and the Crown would have been prevented from rewarding merit in the Church. Mr. DUNCOMBE thought it was a gross breach of faith with these persons, on the part of the House of Co!ia inons, which in any other assembly would have been stig matized as disgraceful. Sir R. INGLIS contended that the House had pledged itself, and that it could not now retract without a breach of faith. Lord J. RUSSELL rose to order. Thar subject was not at present under consideration. Sir R. INGLIS tho;ghtthe , Noble Lord ought. himself to be called to order, for he had continued the discussion. Lord J. RUSSELL had merely answered a question put to him. Sir. It. INGLIS said if the amendment of the Lords was supposed to he an infringement of the privileges of that tiouse Rot reject the Bill a l together ? Air, wApunToN apprehended that the clause had peen already disposed of, and that therefore the discussion could not he persevered in. Mr. HUME thought the observations which had been made by the Hon. Member for Pins')Ury (Mr, Duncombe) wire altogether irrelevant to the suhject under discussion. —(Laughter.) Mr. D t-1 IV Q. Q 14141 thought his speech was as relevant 016 gla{ter as the seeech of the tiou, 114“Oer for Micidle sex—(Laughter)--and thought that the Hon. Member had been making an electioneering speech.—(Great Laughter.) Mr. IIUME must deny • altogether hi.; Hon. Friend's insintultion.—(Renewed laughter.) This was a subject which every man knew had occupied his attention for a considerable time last year, and that it was a eubject on which he had given the first notice this Session. He thought that some of the opinions lately expresszd by the Hon. Member (Mr. Duncombe) rather countenanced a sus. picion that he had been making electioneering speeches. —(Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Lords' amendments were then ordered to be considered this day three months. The Clerk of the Peace Documents' Bill went through Committee, and ordered to be read a third time to.morrgw, TITHE COMMUTATION BILL. Mr. P. THOMSON, in moving that the Lords' amend moots to the Tithe Commutation Bill ho agreed to, u served that the Lords hod introduced twn amendment* which would do on herrn at all, and would not du tnuch goo,l ; thereforu there could ha no objection t thtant-in (Laughter.)Agreed to. • TITfrES ON FISH, Captain PECHELL would take ,tll:at opptlYinhity of asking, which probably would be the last he should have this session, the Noble Lord, tiv e Secretary for the Home Department, whether and Step had been taken with re-. spect to the abolition of a,,n e tithe oa fish ?—(Laughter,) Lord JOHN RTISSELL said that if the Hon. and Gallant Officer- l oad given him notice of the question, he wr,uld have been able to have made a more distinct answer ; but he had called the attention of the Tithe Commissioners to the subject, and they had informed him the matter was under their consideration, with ihe view of coming to a satisractory conclusion on the subject as quickly as possible. Captain PECHELL was perfectly satisfied with tht Noble Lord's answer. THEATRE REGULATION BILL.. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the Lord amend ments to this Bill be taken into consideration thin day three months. He did not know whether it• was 'necessary for him to state his reasons for so doing.—(C - ete 3 of " No, no," and a laugh.) The Bill had passed the House of Com mons without a dissentient voice, and it bad been corn pletely spoiled by the Lords. He hoped that some day or other they should see the arztitscments of the people put under the direction of the Home Office, in stead of being left to the caprice of the Lord Chamberlain, whose power was frequently used with gross injustice and partiality. Sir 11. INGLIS begged to ask whether the Noble Se cretary for the Home Department would be prepared to lay on thd table of the House on the first day of next Ses sion the returns which he had moved for yesterday relative to the Civil List ? Lord J. RUSSELL believed that the rapers would then be ready. FOREIGN POLICY. Mr. ATT WOOD then rose to ask a series 'of ques tions of which be had given notice relating to the Foreign policy of the country. - The SPEAKER enquired whether the ann. Member intended to make any motion. Mr. ATTWOOD did not—he intended to ask certain questions, and if it were out of order, to argue the questions, he would put them to the Government seriatim. "1. h it the final determination of her Majesty's Govern ment to submit to the violations of the Treaty of Vienna by Russia, in respect of Poland and of Cracow ? " 2. Is it their determination to allow Russia to receive Circassia as a gift from Turkey, under the Treaty of Adriano ple, Russia having previously contracted with England to receive no separate advantage' from Turkey, in the war which terminated in that Treaty ? • 3. Is it their determination to allow Russia to hold, pos session of the Delta of the Danube, in defiance of the. %boys) contract with England ? " 4. Supposing the above contract on the part of Russia to be waived, is it their determination to allow Rus'la to receive a gift from Turkey, which Turkey had no rib to give— Turkey never having possessed acknowledged, 'dominion over Circassia ? " 5. Is it their determination to allow Rursia to conquer, or possibly exterminate the Cireassians ' • and thus t o get posses sion of a cou n t ry w hi c h wou l d give her unlimited influence, and ultimate dominion over, Turkey a.llO- Persia, and all the countries of the East ? " 6. Is it their final determination to submit to the gross and insufferable arrogance of Russ;.i., in the affair of the Vixen ? "7. Is it their final determination to submit to the Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, which in case of war between England and Russia closes the Dardamdles at the mandate of Russia,. and thus, or, the one hand, prevents England from attackinir Russia on her weak pole'. ; and, on the other, delivers up the allies and friends of Etgland, an- unresisting prey, to consoli.. date and increase the power of the herbaria(' et' the North ? —(Llughter.) Mr. AI:TWO OD—What the devil are .t;ou laughing at ?—(Ciies of " Order, order.") There is nothing in the question to laugh at. " 8. Is it true that the Russians have now upwards of 20 line of-battle shi p s, nearly r ea dy f or sea, at C ronstadt, a fortnight' s sa il of he mouth of the Thames ? 9. Is it true that England cannot now produco within a fortnight 20 line-of-battle ships, ready for sea, at .the mouth of the Thames ?" He trusted the Noble Lord wculd give an explicit answer to all these questions, as he was not allowed to enter into arguments upon th e quest i on . Lord J. RUSSELL thought these mere questions which might have been put at any period of the Session—the one relating to th e T reaty o f U nkiar Skeiessi. might h a v e b een asked any time these two years. The Minister for Foreign Affairs would be in his place to-morrow, and would be ready to give answers to any questions which might be asked. Mr. ATTWOOD hoped the Secretary of the Admiralty would answer the questions rafting to the naval force of the country. Mr. C. WOOD said it was not usual to answer ques tions relating to the forces of the country. lie had no hesitation, however, in saying, that whenever the country was assailed, let it be from whatever quarter it might, they would be 'prepared to repel it.—(Cheers.) On the motion of Mr. HA WKES, a return was or dered of the number of stamps issued to each newspaper in England and Wales, from the Ist of January to the 30th June, together with the number of advertisements in each, and the amount of duty paid by each for advertisements. On the motion of Mr. CHALMERS, the Lords' amendments to the Fishguard Harbour Bill, and the Bishop Auckland and Weardale Railway Bill, were agreed to. On the motion of Mr. ORD, the Lords' amendments to the Glasgow and Ayr Railway Bill, and the Stockport Improvement Bill, were agreed to. Lord JOHN RUSSELL reported from the Committee appointed to draw up reasons for disagreeing with certain amendments made by the House of Lords on the Ecclesi astical Appointments Suspension Bill. The Managers of the Conference, on the part of the Commons, then withdrew. On the Managers' return, Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that the Com mons had left their reasons, together with the Bill, with their Lordshipi. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the House at its rising do adjourn to a Quarter before Four to-morrow. Agreed to.—The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 14. TllO-Liiii'D CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'Clock. The Earl of GALLOWAY presented petitions against certain clauses in the Prisons (Scotland) Bill ; also a peti tion from Shirley, in Derbyshire, in favour of ttlinsterring fairs and markets from Saturday to Monday. Lord SEYMOUR, and other Members of the House of Commons, brought up a copy of the report of the Poor Law Committee ; also the reports of the Fictitious Votes Committee ; also the Bankrupt's (Ireland) Bill ; and thu Marquis of 1 3ntu's Estate Bill Lord DUN CANNON then laid on the table the Report of the Post-office Commission. On the motion of the same NOBLE LORD, the Cruelty to Animals (Ireland) Bill, anti the Masters and Workmen Bill were road a third time and passed ; as was the Beet. root Sugar Bill. CORPORATE PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL, The House then went into Committee on this Bill, The several clauses were agreed to, an d the litr ase re sumed ; the Bill was reported, and ordered tei he read a third time to-morrow. The Fermanagh Baronial Subdivision 13 ill also went through Committee ; as did the_ Church 13uilding.Commis sion Bill. The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition from the Diocese of Armagh against the system of national edue 4 .. tion in Ireland. The Duke of SUSSEX presented a petition from the Quakers of Ireland, praying for the extinguishing from the Criminal Code the punishment of death. Th. e petitioners considered that the subject should be strongly impressed on their Lordships, because the right of taking away human life contrary to the principles of the Christian religion. --(Hear.) He would now say, that he did not wish to take their Lordships by surprise. They were perfectly aware that the body of men who were petitioners had many conscientious scruples, and he hoped the petition would not be considered to be informal because the words in it were " respectfully trust," and not " humbly trust," and because it was addressed to the " Peers" of the kingdom. The petition was then read at the table. Lord SIIAFTESBURY objected to the reception of the petition, because the terms Lords Spiritual and Tem poral " were not used. He was sorry for this, considering the respectable body from whence it catne. The Duke of SUSSEX said he would withdraw the pe tition if it were opposed. Lord BROUGHAM regretted that this course must be adopted, and the construction of their Lordships' rules could nat fAt widened, In fact it unwanted to this, that no peti. V4p• ,7t
