COMMON LAW PIOCBDURE BILL. __ Lord CAMPBELL brought up the report of the Com mittee en the Common Law Procedure Bill. On the motion of the Noble and Learned Lord it was ordered to be considered on Friday. PETITIONS. The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented several peti tions from Ddrham and other places against the grant to Maynooth. The Earl of RODEN presented a petition from lemales in Tyrone in favour of the inspection of nun neries. _ _ WAR IN AVA. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH wished to know whether the Government were in a position to lay the papers relating to the war in Ave on the table? The Noble Lord complained of the conduct pursued towards General Godwin, whose character had been maligned j net as he was about to start upon a most arduous ex pedition. The Earl of DERBY was understood to say that no blame whatever attached to the character of General Godwin. From the information which had been last received it appeared that the King of Ave had not positively refused to give any reparation; he had sent no answer to the message which had been trans mitted him. The dispatch alluded to by the Noble Lord would be laid upon the table in a few days. On the motion of the Earl of LONSDALE, the Ea elesiastical Jurisdiction Bill passed through Committee. On elle motion of the Bishop of SALISBURY, the Protestant Dissenters Bill passed through Committee. BISHOP OF CHRISTCHURCH (NEVV ZEALAND) BILL. The Bishop of OXFORD, in moving the second read ing of this Bill, took the opportunity of passing an enlo gium on the conduct of the Bishop of New Zealand in that island, the effect of which was to give a hope that New Zealand would become a point where the healing blessings of Christiatdty might be spread Over the groups of islands in that neighbourhood. The Bishop of LONDON also concurred in the eulo glum passed by his Right Rev. Friend. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Disabilities Repeal Bill was read a second time and passed. Their Lordships then adjourned until Friday. ROUSE OF COMMONS, May 18. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock, and there being only 29 Members present, the House was adjourned until to morrow st Twelve o'clock. FRANCE. The Minister of War gave a grand breakfast on Monday to the Arab chiefs, and a large number of generals and other officers who have served in Al geria. After breakfast, the chiefs were invited to enter the drawing-rooms, where several magnificent presents in arms, &c., were offered to tbem by the Minister. The Minister at the same time encouraged them •to perse - verse in the fidelity which they had hitherto . manifested towards France. " You must have perceived," added he, " during your short stay in Paris, the extent of our strength ; and, on your return, you can tell your countrymen that if France knows how to reconvenes with munificence her faithful servants, she is powerful enough to chas tise her enemies." Si Taller, one of the chiefs. replied in the name of the deputation, saying—" We will carry back with us an ineffaceable remem brance of the grandeur of France and of the kind reception which we have received from the Govern ment and the' population. Reckon U 3 amongst your most faithful subjects, ready to take up arms for our common interest, wherever you may meet with enemies." The 'Alinister then conducted the chiefs to the Ely: 6e, ;eh ?re the Prince President gave them an audience of leave. Oa their being; adMitted, the Prince expressed how much he had been plea -- d to see them Like part in the late military fetes, and said that his desire wai to be able one day to return the visit which they now made to France. lie recommended them to profit, by the benefits of the peace which existed, and. then added : " I reckon vou amongst my soldiers, and I have shown that I - do so, by placing you in the midst of them." The Prince then presented to each a rich present, the Agha Mehomed-bel : Hedri preferring to everything that could be offered him a portrait of the Prince. The President also distributed amongst them three decorations, one to the son of Gen. Ban Ismael, killed in the French service; a second to his nephew, El Mez try ; and the third, to the Agha of the Beni- Ameur. The Prince also preeented Colonel Durrieu, under whose care the Chiefs have been placed in Paris, with a superb carbine. The Arab deputation is to leave Paris this day. The Prefect of the Seine gave a grand banquet on Friday to the principal officers of the army of Paris. M. Berger bad on his right General de St. Arnaud, and on his left, M. de Persigny, the other Ministers being also present. After the dinner had terminated, M. Berger rose and said : " Gentleman,—l propose to you the health of Prince Louis Napoleon, the noble chief of our valiant army— to him, who, in replacing on our colours the imperial eagles, has restored to our national coloure their ancient Eclat.—(Bravo, bravo I) May, for the honour of France, these glorious witnesses of our immortal victories now preside over long years of peace and prosperity. Vire Louis Napoleon?' "—(Cheers.) After the applause had subsided, M. de Persigny rose and said:— " Gentlemen,—l propose to you, the army, which, in the midst of the disorder of men's minds and anarchy of ideas, and when all around it appeared corrupted or demoralised, preserved in its ranks French honour, the sentiment of duty, the feeling of devotedness to the country, and with the disdain of wealth, all the virtues which constitute great nations. Gentlemen, your fathers of Marengo, Austerlitz, Wagram, and la N03C,0R3, performed great feats. They fertilized with their blood throughout the world the germs of an idea of civilization, and while casting lustro on the French revolution,. purified it so thoroughly, and caused it $o take such root in the mind of the world, that it is henceforward iavinoible.—(Lend applause.) Well, then, you have done even more—for in a time of corruption and madness you have preserved the virtue of your fathers, and in following the n., - -phew of the Emperor in his courageous enterprise, you have even saved the honour of ManoC.—(Rniewed applause.) Be proud then, gentlemen; resume your eagles, for the whole world knows that you are as worthy as your fathers to decorate your standards with them. I . drink to the French Army.'"—(Cheers.) At these last words all the guests rose, and drank the toast with great enthusiasm. General de St. Amend returned thanks. He said : " Thanks, Gentlemen, in the name of the army, for your cordial reception; honour to the city of Paris, one of whose,ehildren lam mud to be. And in this mo ment, when truthful sentiments are so well understood, 1 1 ,71 it sae to unite in a single toast three thoughts which 4r intimately connected together, and which ought ntTEr to be separated in our minds—To Prince Louis Negroo n. —To the glory and grandeur of F ra nce I--To In the sPerity of the c ity o f P ar i s t"—(lmmenseapplause.) is p ar t men eve ning, fo a concert was given in the beautiful of the ern, the Prefect ; a great number of o ffi cers and the d 4 and tte national guard, not at the dinner, tribution of the who had coma to Paris for the dis separated a b out aglea . , being present.

ATTACK ON THE SULOO PIRATES.-LCSS OF LIFE. The expedition, consisting of her Majesty's ship Cleopatra, the steam-frigate Semiramis, and the war steamer Plato—the latter two vessels belonging to the East India Company—returned to Singapore after an unsuccessful endeavour to meet with and punish the Saloo pirates on the east coast of Borneo, who were con cerned in cutting off the schooner Dolphin, and the mur der of Mr. Burns and his companions. Much discussion has of late taken place on the subject of piracy in the Archipelago, and who are and who are not pirates; but of the character of the men againet evhom the expedi tionof her Majestra ship under Captain - Massie , Cleo patra, was sent, there is not the least doubt entertained. The head-qaarters of the Solon, Lanun, and Manua, piratical prahus, which scour the Indian Archipelago, has frequently been pointed out from the days of Dalrymple to the present, but it was not until the re cent outrage on Mr. Barns that the English authori tiesadopted a single step to punish the pirates ia their str ong holds, and on the present occasion they have been completely unsuccessful. The following particulars will show what manner of people these marauders are : H av ing coaled both steamers at Labuan, the expedition sailed for Maluda, the Cleopatra a short time in advance. Mr. St. John, acting commissioner, and Captain Brooke, better known as the Rajah Made of Sarawak, were on board the Cleopatra. C ap t a i n M ass i e ' s oats pro ceeded up the Menggetal river to the house of a chief who was known to be in league with a party of Lanun pirates, but nothing was done, the object being merely a demonstration. At Maluda in formation was received of the murder of Mr. Wind ham, at Suloo, by the chief minister of the Sultan, but on inquiry at Singapore the report turned out to be untrue, Mr. Windham being at Mainla at the time. After much difficulty the Cleopatra was taken through the Malawalli passage, and at length reached Tangku, the principal head-quarters of the Saloo pirates. The steamer's boats tried river after river be fore reaching the ono they were in search of. Having anchored below the river, an expedition was formed or sixteen boats in two divisions, the light boats bjog under the direction of Captain Barback of the Pluto, and the heavy boats under Captain Stephens of the Se miramis. Captain Massie, accompanied by the Acting Commissioner, proceeded in the Cleopatre's gig. White fins were hoisted in most of the boats, and after two hours' pulling they reached the chief's house, and on the•tcp of the room they placed a white flag in token of a peaceful visit, and to induce the inhabitants to approach; not one, however, appeared, they having fled before the boats reached the place. Whilst they were meditating on the step next to be taken, they were suddenly saluted with a shower of balls, or rather shots, issuing from the jangle, killing one of our men and wounding two others. Having Cline shown a hostile disposition, Captain Massie immediately directed preparations to be made for acting on the offensive. A smart fire was returned from the marines, firing in the direction whence the smeko was observed, but without any effect. The boats then re turned to the shipping. Oa the 17th the pro ceeded to the plan; with the view of inflicting a severe punishment for firing upon the flag of trace. The small arms men were placed on one side of the river, and the merinos on the other. The stoakades were reached, but the guns bed been removed. Scouring par ties went in all directions, but not a man was visible. Some of the pirates, however, advanced stealthily through the jungle to the stockades, and fired, and a party of them fired on the boats, wounding three men, one mortally. Yet not a soul was observable. Whenever smoke was seen to issue from the jungle the place was immediately in vested, but the daring, adventurous Lames managed to escape. Finding this mode of warfare very discourag• ing, orders were given to destroy all the buildings, m ide of bamboo and cadjan, and soon replaced, together with large granaries of rice, which being accomplished the flotilla returned with the loss of several men killed and wounded, without the satisfaction of knowing they had even wounded a single Lanun. From the absence of their prahus it is believed the pirates were absent on a piratical expedition, but it is equally probable that their pre us and themselves were concealed up some of the numerous and to us unknown rivers abounding in that quarter. SEA-BORNE MAILS. When the new oc - 2an mail contracts into which the Government has recently entered comp into opera tion, , the whole cost to the nation for conveying its sea-borne correspondence will amount to nearly a million sterling per annum. The ocean mail packet lines served by this country will then be about 60,000 miles in length; and the number of miles which the British mail packets will traverse annually will be nearly 2,500,000 miles. The number of letters which these packets will carry in the course of a year, at the present postal packet rates, will be about thirty millions. The relative importance of different parts of the world with this country may be estimated by the frequency of the mail packet communication with them. Thus, the communication with France will be twice daily ; with Belgium, once daily ; with Holland and Hamburgh, twice weakly ; with America, weekly ; with the East Indies and the Peninsula, three times monthly ; with the Cape of Good Hope, five times every two months ; with the West Indies, China, the west coast of Africa, Central America, Chili, Peru, and the Spanish Main, twice monthly ; 2111 with Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and Buenos Ayres, monthly. The principal steam packet companies who have con tracts with the Government are: the Pacific, the British and American, tho West India, and the Peninsular and Oriental Companies. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company has hitherto confined its operations to the south-western coast of America., between Panama and Valparaiso. I. will most probably extend its enterprise to California, and mate rially assist in the navigation or the Pacific Ocean, and in establishing a western communication with Australia. The British and American Steam Packet Company is distinguished for the success with which it has navi gated the North Atlantic Ocean. It has been in ad vance of all the other steam-packet companies, as far as the perfection of its vessels is concerned; and in taking immediate advantage of every discovery in the improve ment of steamers. Its ship-building career has been one continued triumph, each of its packets having sur passed its predecessor in magnitude and speed. Tno operations of this company have consisted almost ex clusively in running packets between England and the United States, and British North America. When California was discovered, it was expected that the British and American Company would have extended its enterprise southward from New York, in order to share the imaaense traffic that would arise on that route. It has not, however, seen fit to do so, and has allowed the American people' to monopolise the whole of the sea traffic between New York and San Francisco. The Royal West India Mail Packet Company differs from all other companies in having commenced its exis tence as a great company, and in undertaking at the outset of its career a vast and magnificent ocean mail packet scheme. It has been'more unfortunate than all the other companies pat together, having lost, in the space of 10 years, a splendid fleet of steamers, the de struction of which has caused some of the most terrible and heartrending calamities recorded in the history of ocean navigatio n . It i s s i ngu l ar t h at from the f i rst mail packet scheme, projected by this company, there would seem to have b een anticipated some t discovery the Pacific in oonuexion w i t h the yeedastat s, since it in comprehended a comm un i cat i on between the D arie n Gulf and Now York. It is curious to observe also, the c hanges which this company's m a il route scheme has undergone. In the first instance, of so little importance were the North and South American ports in the Pacific considered, that Chagres was never visited until the northern Antilles had been served, and then only by a branch steamer, once a month, from Jamaica. As for Grey Town, it was not even mentioned in their scheme. Now, however, there is a direct com munication between England, and Chagres, and Grey Town, once every fourteen days. The great policy of the Royal Mail Company, at present, is to prevent the riches and traffic, originating on the eastern shores of the Pacific, from passing to this country by way et- New York; end to draw it to England, by a direct tiorth-easterly course, from the Isthmus of Panama. To accomplish this gigantic steamers are running between St. Thomas and their home station; the =a bet of inter-colonial packets of the company is to be augmented, and its trade with Mexico to be partially sacrificed. The Peninsular and Oriental Company was the most insignificant of all the packet companies, and has become the greatest of any. It first possessed, as a foreign packet compluy,, two or three steamers only, which were earq,leyed is coasting -in She - Bay of Biesay. and it now possesses a flies of which a nation might be proud,- In .a few months its fleet will consist of ol)ware of steamers, which will cover a sea and wean line4s 000 miles ' ni. this . . , in length. The operations be luterei.rfell companymarvellous have been spreading eastward with ' - u p : i r e v eip tl ei I rity. The company has now secured the e of the eastern world, which will scarcely awni it a tnA. jus Australia tpr a, : n. a w i i s t he, established. whoa ishe d. a Tradingw es t e fn withco m a t 3 h u e n i r c i : h t i e o s n t ocean to croPssulcus countries on the globe, with no great Tae nisil Sit? in the world. c omna ,,,_ ~ ,s: have made the Peninsular nevi Oriental pukertZzetpat wealthiest and most fortunate steam of its crow ing and beneficial crowning achievements, service of this country is one . r ievements, and will leave more last ageltcmost celebrated nations of anti in 3nt cxi C i Qg of tlhaeces o f its , pity ; for by its greatness than any moan ct. the English name and language iviusd world; and the fame wiil be extended of Ecgland will rest on doubt and not on conquest.

Thus the cause of. the affaled facilities for its existence. I, like manner the extension of railway and steam navigation 1 all over r the world increases foreign trade and d international inter course, and this extension viou.d cause a vast addition of our fotelgu correspondence, and would afford the rtquisite facilities for its conveyance and existence. It is the_peonliar privilege of England to be the ocean mail carriers for almost the whole world. Her ma il packet system extends, in Earop e &ad Africa, from Hamburgh to the Cape of Good Hope; in America, from Halifax to the River Plate ; and from the Panama Gulf to the southernmost limit of Chili ; and in it is comprehended the Whole of the af,a coast of Asia. The Dutch and the Spaniards are indebted to ber for conveying their mails to and from Java and the Philippines; and she carries the corre spondence of every maritime power in Europe which has dependencies in the west. Her power to do good by means of cheap foreign postage is enor mous. By it she could materially advance civi li'attion, encourage international peace and amity, assist emigration, and augment the commerce of the world. By refusing to bestow the boon of cheap foreign postage, she will neglect her high missiou, and incur an unenviable responsibility. No one who has ever seen a foreign mail arrive at or leave this coun try could fail to have been struck with the ludi crous disproportion existing hetween its bulk, the magnitude of the steamers appointed to carry it, and the enormous sums paid to the packet companies for its conveyance ; and yet this mail contains literally the seaborne correspondence of one portion of the world with the other. Great Britain, by acting generously, and reducing her high packet rates of postage, may claim the homage and the gratitude of all nations; but by keeping up her im politic charges and contracting international correspond ence within narrow limits she will deservedly incur their censure. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 19, 1852. GATHERING OF THE VINE. The ancient types and figures descriptive of the vintage are still literally true. The march of agri cultural improvement seems never to have sot foot amid the vines. As it was with the patriarchs in the East, so it is with the modern children of men. The goaded ox still bears home the high pressed grape too, and the feet of the treader are still red in the purple juice which maketh glad the heart of man. The scene is at once full of beauty, and of tender and even sacred associations. The songs of the vintagers, frequently chorussed from one part of the field to the other, ring blithely into the bright summer air, pealing out above the rough jokes and hearty peals of laughter shouted hither and thither. All the green jungle is alive with the moving figures of men and women, stooping among the vines, or ,wring pairs end basketfuls of grapes out to the grass grown cross roads, along which the labouring oxen drag the rough vintage carts, groaning and cracking as they stagger along beneath their weight of purple tubs heaped high with the tumbling masses of luscious fruit. The congregation of every age and both sexes, and the careless variety of costume, add additional features of picturesqueness to the scene. The white haired old man labours with shaking hands to fill the basket which his black eyed imp of a grandchild carries rejoic ingly away. Quaint broad-brimmed straw and felt hats —handkerchiefs twisted like turbans over straggling elf locks—swarthy skins tanned to an olive brown—black fishing eycs—and hands and feet stained in the abound ing juices of the precious fruit—all these southern pecu liarities of costume and appearance supply the vintage with its peasant characteristics. The clatter of tongues is incessent. A fire of jokes and jeers, of saucy questions and more saucy retorts—of what in fact, in the humble and unpoetic but expressive ver nacular, is called " chaff"—is kept up with a vigour which seldom flag, except now and then, when the butt end of a song, or the twanging close of a chorus strikes the general fancy, and procures for the morceau a lusty encore.—.Reache's Claret and Olives. over proof are from 3s 41 to 4s, fine 2s 101 to 3s 31, good mid to good 30 to 34 over 2; 41 to 23 83, mid 2; to 2s 3d, and low 24 to 28 over 1s 101 to Is 11d.

Stockbridge denied having a knife. Darvell, with equal indifference, made a similar defence. Mr. TYRWIIITT said he would remand both prisoners for a week.

Upon inquiry in the office of Mr. Holford, a youth there said he was unfortunate, for that Mr. Holfore bad but just gone out ; but ho would go and fetch him back. Is a few minutes th e youth re turned, and said Mr. Holford was coming in, and on this person making his appearance, ho (applicant) addressed him as Mr. Helford; but he said his name was not Holford, and that that person merely called there for his letters. Applicant then observed he was sorry he could not sea Holford, as he understood he was in the habit of discounting bills on good personal security—that he had, in fact, seen his advertisemeut in the newspapers, and was desirous of seeing him on the subject. The person he addressed here replied that it was all right, and that if he put the particulars in writing he would take care of it. He alio said that Mr. Holford was not in the habit of seeing anybody personally, and reqeired negotiations in writing. Applicant here re marked that it was rather stranve that the youth in the office, and who was evidently his son, should have repre sented him as Mr. Belford, and again esked him if that was not his name. The person thereupon repeated that it was all right, that he was walking along the street with Mr. Holford, when his son came after them, and brought him back. Applicant then disclosed the real object of his visit, and handed to the person of whom he spoke a written notice demanding the promissory note of his client, and offered him at the same time the pay ment of any expenses he might have been pat to. Toe person then replied that he knew nothing more of Mr. Holford than his calling there to receive his letters, and he did not even know where he resided. He (applicant) had made several attempts to see Alves, but without success, and he had no doubt whatever that both he and Holford were two of a gang of notorious swindlers and bill stealers, and were connected with an attorney who had been tried but a short time since for bill stealing. Under the circumstances, he (Mr. Townshend) hoped his Worship would grant a summons against Holeord and Alves for conspiracy, or for obtaining a valuable security for money upon false pretences. Mr. ELLIOTT, having carefully looked through the . eorresponduuee that had passed between the parties, stated it as his impression that there was not sufficient on the face of it to connect Alves and Holford, and ad vised the applicant to continue his inquiries, and then come again. Mr. 'Townshend promised to do so, and, having thanked his Worship for the attention with which he had heard him, left the court. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PROMOTION. Mr. F. Mule (mate), to the rank of lieutenant. PORTSMOUTH, TerEsneer.—The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir T. Briggs, issued a general memorandum last evening, thanking the k fficers, the seamen, and the marines of the fleet that landed and assisted to extin guish the awful fire in the dockyard yesterday morning. Nothing further occurred after we sent off our di , patch. The ladders were left against the Tarring-house, and 16 fire engines were left in close vicinity, all rigged and full of water, ready to play in case of any outbreak. The debris of the fire is being removed to-day. We stated that the probable damage would be about 7001. It may be nearly double that sum, the interior of the compartment of the building that took fire is totally de stroyed and the walls injured. The building, which stands in a confined locality, will be converted into some less dangerous use than tarring yarn; and a building placed in some open space will be appropriated for that purpose.. Admiral,Sir Thomas Briggs and Captain Chads pro ceeded to Spithead this morning in the Sprightly steamer, and inspected the Philemel brig, in gunnery and other Exercises; the Philomel will go to Plymouth to pay off. Commodore W. F. Martin's broad pendant was per manently struck at sunset last Light on board the Prince Regent, 90, at Spithead, which ended the tunnel specta cle of a broad pendant being kept flying at a home sta tion in time of peace in the presence of two Admirals' flags. The Channel squadron will not again he com manded in this peculiar manner, but a Rear-Admiral (A. 1.. Corry) will take the command of the next squad ron—an alteration which, while it adds dignity to the service, cannot fail to be more agreeable to the gallant officera employed in it. Commodore Martin's appoint ment (one of the Baring board's acts) has been a grievous eyesore to the flag officers of the navy ever since it was so injudiciously made. Rear-Admiral Corry's ap pointment is made at the instance of the Premier, we are infuriated, but whether that be so or not he is a most experienced and popular officer; he commanded the ex perimental: brig squadron in 1844. Captain Hutton is reported as likely to be flag -captain, and the Queen or Prince Regent the flag-ship. The Fairy, Royal yacht, Master Commander Welsh, and the Elfin dispatch tender, Master Commander Bel lieton, were taken out of harbour this morning by Cap tain Crispin, to test their engines, &0., alter repair. These two beautiful little vessels appear in better order and more neat and elegant than ever—they certainly do their officers much credit. They will be ready to remove the Court from the Clarence-yard to Osborne on Satur day next. •`Fhe Lightning steam-yacht and the Adder arrived at Portsmouth, bringing from Deptford the Qzeen's ofacters and men that navigated the Hercules frow Malta. The Queen, 120, Bung her rudder today; her copper has been put in order, and she will be taken out of dock on Friday,'and soon after go to 1 / 3 vonport to be paid down. The Lightning and Adder returned to the eastward this evening. DEvoNP;)RT, MAY 17.—Miss Burdett Contts has been on a visit to this neighbourhood, and called at the duck yard, and in company with Mrs. Edye she visited the Female Orphan School, founded for the orphans of docksmen, and which she has liberally supported. She minutely inspected the establishment, and expressed herself highly phased with all the arrangements, and the whole management of the asylum. She is still here, or rather at the hotel, Plymouth. She visited the school on Thursday, Friday, and again to-day. Yester day she attended the Dockyard Chapel. She appears highly pleased with all sbe has seen here. Desperate steamer, in charge of Lieutenant Stevens, returned to this port last evening, and came into har bour and took up her moorings. • Sprightly sailed this afternoon fur Portsmouth. Sanspareil has bent sails to-day, and will be ready to go oat to-morrow afternoon or Wednesday morning. Ferret, 8, is ordered to be commissioned at Devon port by Commander Pnelps (1849), it is supposed for the Coast of Africa. SHEERNESS, TIIESDAY.—Her Majesty's ship Hercules, 72, has been removed from the anchorage off Standgate Creek to Chatham. The officers and seamen who lately navigated her to Englafid have been conveyed to Ports mouth by th e Li g h tn i ng and Adder steamers, to embark on board the Queen.
