Adams and Ralston;•rail way carriage builders on the Eastern Counties Railway, became the scene last night of an interestim. , , though unpretending, nemonstration. The evening was de voted by the mechanics belonging to the estsblishmeot t o joyous and mirthful festivity, but festivity of a nature as4ar , removed from what is vulgar and degrading as the Mutual feeling of interest and kindness which existed, and was expressed between masters and men was un usual, end anticipative of incipient changes in the social condition of the people, which promise better things to those who come after, The . Provident Society, which has existed for some three years among the workmen, numbers about 200 out of the 300 mechanics employ in the establishment, and has for its objects the usual benefits proposed by friendly societies. But the mem - bars of this society at a late meeting deter mined almost unanimously .to establish a library in connexion with it ; and, in order to put themselves in the way of making a fair start, resolved to have a tea party and bail, with admission by ticket, the surplus from which, after paying all expenses, should go to lay the foundation of a go o d mechanics library. Accordingly a booth was erected on ground belonging to the works, on the edge of the Eastern Counties Railway, upwards of 300 feet long ; and ar rangements were made under the superintendence of the Messrs. Stevens for 400 ; but scares ly fewer than 600 could have been present on the occasion, consisting en- tirely of the workmen and their female friends. It must .be gratifying to know that this movement, as well us the society in connexion with which it sprung, originated spontaneously with the men themselves, . who from the time that their number was but three till now, when their increase emboldens them to think of greater things, have continued to act indepervlently. But it must also be told to the praise of the Messrs. Adams and Ralston, that from the moms nt that this movement on the part of the men assumed a definite form they nobly opened up every facility; and lest night, byway of paying fur their tickets—tor nothing is done by them as a chari,y, or even in the spirit of pltronage—the three of them con tributed 101. each towards the proposed library. By four o'clock the arrangements were completed, and the booth presented an interesting appearance. One long table ran down the centre for nearly two-thirds of the whole length of the booth, which was flanked on either side by short transverse tables, abutting from the sides of the booth, and having ample space between them and the centre table tor all the purposes and pleasure of festivity. From the centre beam of the tent hung co loured oil lamps, disposed in decorative figures along the length of the booth ; and behind tha chair was stretched a transparency with these words on it, made vi'ihle frotn' behiZtl : " Fairfield Works Pro vident Society, established August Ist, 1843." Between four and five o'clock, an assembly, to the number of about 600, most respectably dressed, and all wearing that honest, hearty congenial look which testified there was good fellowship as well as good fare, sat down to tea. William B. Adams, Esq., the senior partner of the firm, and President . of the Society, took the chair, and was supported on the right and left by his brother, Samuel Adams, Esq., and Gerard Ralston, Esq., the other two partners, and by Dr. Stewart and Dr. Jones. The Chairman's lady, and other relatives, were present at tea. Tea having been concluded, The CHAIRMAN, after a few words, gave " The Queen, the representative of order and rule in Great Britain ;" which was received with three time three, followed by the national anthem, by an instrumental band in at tendance, who were accompanied by a vocal choir. The ChEirman gave 6 . Prince Albert and the Royal Family," which was received with all honour ; song, " Alynheer von Dank." The CHAIRMAN then rose and said he had to introduce to them what was more immediately the business of the evening, " the Fairfield Works Provident Society."— (Cheers.) He said that scarcely three years had elapsed since the ground on which they stood was first selected from a scanty field, which was then mere potato ground. The scene, he was glad to say, was now altered as would best be seen in the crowd of smiling faces about him.— ( Laughter and cheers.) It was a proud thing to be a captain of industry, better far than to be a captain of war ; but it was better still to be surrounded by a set of generous anti intelligent operatives. As to what their prospects might be, he said they could gather that from the name of the establishment which had been choseu, not altogether without design; for " a fair field and no favour" was always their motto. They recognised no claims except personal claims, skill, ability, intel lect ; if a man had these, no matter where he might have been brought up, or had learned the first rudiments , f his trade, he woald meet i.‘ith justice and equal treat ment at their es•abliAment. (Hear, hear.) The Provident Society began with three members; it was begun by one to whom he and they were all under great obligation, he meant that kind-hearted individual Edward Corry.—(Cheers.) He feat that it' their aim in instituting that society were properly understood and carried out, it would not remain a mere Pro vident Society, a mere savings' bank for the receipt of their surplus earninga, but much more—that it would become a teaching society—that It ctures and classes ft r inforthation and education would be grafted upon it ; when to be connected with the Fairfield Works would be deemed an honour in every workshop in Great Britain. But though he spoke thus, he said they had made it a principle with themselves ways to act so tow - ards their workmen as leave their independence unaffected. The 'urthest they had gone was to give hints, and he was glad to find that these hints were taken and improved upon till they appeared productive of good works. He hoped that the Provident Society would continue to prosper. Such was the strong desire of every partner in the firm; and as for himself, when he considered the kindness and diligence with which they had all attended io their duties, be felt more grateful to them than he could express. He gave "The Fairfield Works Provident Society," which was responded to with three times three. Mr. KNELL, a workman, replied, reciprocating the kindly feeling which had been expressed in Mr. Adams' speech. He ended with giving " The health of the Secretary and founder of the Society, Edward Corry." Mr. CORRY. in aeknowleclei,ig this honour, gave " The health of ,he Pre s ident o f the Society, W. B. Adams, Esq.," which was received with great cheering. The CHAIRMAN. in acknowledging the honour, ad verted briefly to the history of the: establishment ; its commencement, when the neighbeurhood was bleak fieldi, on which houses and works were rising up thickly on every side of the Fairfield Works. That, he said was no „small assurance to him that they were thriving,cmitrary to the predictions which several had chosen-Co utter three years before concerning them. The CHAIRMAN successively,' gave "The Ladies," " ace); Hinison and the. Directors of the Eastern Coun ties Railway," and " Free Trade," and " The Library." Several of the workmen addressed the meeting, much to their own credit, and !he gratification of those present. Mr. CORRY gave the health of Samuel Adams, Esq., and Edward Ralston, Esq., which was heartily cheered. Mr. SAMUEL ADAMS and Mr. RALSTON in acknow ledging the honour, both spoke feelingly of the gra titude they cherished towards their workmen. This part of the bosiness -being over, the tables were removed, and the booth was cleared for dancing, which continued with great spirit and much enjoyment till a late hour. VlcrourA PA RK,-- - Pbs.nttan.tonee t.f . visitors on Sundays keeps pace with that of the other long-established metropolitan park.. On Sunday, anti for o,arty weeks past, the vi-iturs have exceeded 10,000, and amongst them were many from Or West-cod, upwards of thirty carriages being out-ide the principal lodge-entrance on Sunday between four and six o'clock. Three coroneted carriages were there at one time, an event, perhaps, unknown in the previous history of the parish. Amongst the visitors in the afternoon was Viscount Canning. The Professorship of Latin in University College, Loudon, vacant by the resignation of Mr. George Long, in consequence of his appointment to the It eadership on tivil Law and Jurisprudence at the Middle Temple, has been obtained by Mr. Francis W. Newman, formerly Fellow of Baliol College, Oxford. We tru't that Mr. Hudson will feel grateful to us for bringing thus publicly under his notice a story respecting him, which is current in political circles, and which, if not contradic . ed, or satisfactorily explained, must deter gentle men from partaking of his profuse hospitality, unless guaranteei against insult from their host. At a political party given by Mr. Hudson, on Monday last, and consisting, with, we believe, one exception, of Protectionists, that ex ception being Lord Arthur Lennox, the host proposed the health of Lord George Bentinck, and right liberally did he be• lard his Lordship, after the fashion of those whose ac quaintance with the members of the aristocracy is but re recent—then did Mr. Hudson most heartily belaud himself— and lastly, he proceeded to assail Sir Robert Peel with abuse so vulgar that it is said to have come through his lips as through a familiar channel. This, be it minded, was in the presence of Lord Arthur Lennox, who held office under Sir Robert Peel. Now, Lord Arthur Lennox had, in the coarse of the evening, undergone some bantering, which, with the easy gon,l humour of a gentleman, he turned aside; but this marked insult, conveyed in the gross attack on the head of a ,Gevernment of which he was a member, was not to be passed over; the insult was too plainly directed to be mis taken, and accordingly the guest rose, bade good night to his polite and courteous host, and left the room.—Observer.

SCENERY and POETRY (If tile ENGLISH LAKES. By Charts Mackay, LL.D. 5 Notwithstanding the derision cast upon the "Lake Poetry'' by Lord Byron, and likewiso by Horace and James Smith, in their inimitable "Rejected Addresses,' the writings of Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Southey have assumed a very eminent position in the world of metrical literature. From that position they cannot very speedily be shaken ; at least the two former have acquired a popularity which appears only to be inces santly on the increase. No poem within our recollec- tion possesses such an enthralling character, or elevates . , and seizes the imagination of its reader so effectually, as that mysterious and eccentric legend of the " Ancente Aarinere." How exquisite, moreover, is the moral sentiment which it inculca'es! " He prayeth best who loveth best All things both great and small; For the dear God that breth us Ile made and torah all." No poem again —not even excepting the tenderest sem- nets, of Petrareh, or the divine“ passages of Romeo and or those exquisite poems in prose, the letters between Heloisc . and Abelard—no poem _ - whatever .to our thinking is more, radiant with a chaste, and touch ing love than .Coleridge's " Geneviene." What a subtle knowledg e of that. master, passion is revealed Inwards ita conclusion:— • "She wept with pity and de:ight, • • - .4te_blu,heil with love and virgin shame; And like the murmur of a dream I heard her breathe my name. Her bosom be ived; she stept aside; As conscious of my look she slept— Then suddenly, with timorous eye, She fled to me and wept. She half enclosed me with her arms, She pressed me with a meek embrace, And bending back her head, looked-up . . And gazed upon my face. 'Twas partly love, and partly fear, And partly"twas a bashful art, That I might rather feel than see .The swelling of her heart." In the sonnets and fragments of Wordsworth, as well as in his more elith.,rate performance, "The Excursion," there are again indications of such a holy reverence for Nature, and of such a consu►nmate appreciation of her beauti.•s, as cannot fail to sustain him ataong the bards who have devoted themselves to her laudation. Despite certain undoubted puerilities, - and despite certain mean vi;garies of expression, as for instance where thickets are descrih , d as "Little strips of naked wood run wild," the owner of "Hydal Mount " has created a school of poetry which his books will always perpetuate. It is in admiration of these intellects, and still more in admira tion of the scenery by which these treasures have been evoked, that Dr. Mackay has written his present volume. It is a work eminently worthy of its subject. In its pages the author has condensed an universe of poesy. and that poesy, consisting both of quotations and of original descriptions, has been exquisitely embellished by the artists. We ca❑ neither designate the book as an album of the choicest culiings, because we cannot perceive in it any ephemeral characteristics ; neither can it be called a guide-book to the lakes and dells of Cumberland and Westmorland, because it is altogether a work of a more elevated stamp. Every real lover of this beautiful world—and who is not 2 —every one who can derive pleasure either from the gloties of our insu lar landscapes, or from the splendours of our insular poets, will partake with ourselves in the gratification of - reading this most charming volume. It conducts us in imagination to every nook and dingle in the neighbour hood of those superb lakes, " navelled in the forest," as . Childe Harold expresses it, Windermere, Ulleswater; Buttermere, Derwentwater, Grassmere, and their com panions. Charles Mackay has beheld those scenes and has perused those poets with a poetical enthusiasm, es stmtially his own, and he has described the one and commemorated the other with something of that same enthusiasm for material and spiritual loveliness. The nine artists, whose pencils have illustrated most of the views recorded by the author's pen, have shown a cor responding capacity. As specimens of wood engraving, the embellishments, which are plentifully scattered among the letter-press, are masterly, both for distinct ness and delicacy. We must, in justice, particularise the vignette, by Harvey, which charmingly embodies the intention of the whole work, associating- medallion likenesses of the tritunfirate - (Words wcirib, Coleridge, and Southey) with the scenery celebrated by their genius. The sketches from the pencil of Mr. E. Gilks, are also especially entitled to commendation, as they are inimi table smblances of the original. Gilbert, and the rest, have likewise contributed their quota to the adorn ment of the several chapters, and their drawings have been excellently delineated on wood by the graver of Mr. Thomas Gilks. This volume is a beautiful tribute to nature and poetry; it is a book not to be perused casually, but to be resorted to again and again. Charles Mackay has acquitted himself admirably in its com position. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA. YORK AUGUST MEETING, 1846. Acceptances for the Great Ebor Handicap.

Messengers from the House of Commons brought up several Rl's, which were ordered to lie on the table. On the motion of Lord CANNING, the Spitalfirlds street Bill was read a second time and ordered to be com mitted. The Earl of CLARENDON presented a petition from Lord Forteseue against the Taw Valley Railway. SUGAR DUTIES. Lord BROUGHAM said he wished to ask the Presi dent of the Board of Trade a question with reference to the sugar duties. He saw by the Votes of the House of Commons that the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern ment proposed to introduce a temporary Act, continuing the sugar duties for a short period. There could be no objection to that, but he trusted the passing of that Bill would not had to any delay in the introduction of the further Bill. The Earl of CLARENDON had no hesitation in assuring the Noble and Learned Lord that there would be nu delay in introducing a permanent measure upon this sutject.—(Hear, hear.) SALARY OF THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE. Lord BROUGHAM wished to give a general notice of his intention to call the attention of Government to a very important circumstance arising out of the appointment of Sir Thomas Wilde to the office of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. A most improper and unconstitutional negotiation had taken place at the time of the appointment of Lord Denman to the office of Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench between the Noble Lord and the Treasury, by which the Noble Lord consented to 8,0001. a year instead of 10,0001., the sum originally granted to Lord Tenterden by the 6th of Geo. IV. That negotiation he contended, was most unconstitutional, and the Noble Lord had no right to take less than the 10,0001. a year, payable quarterly, nor had the Treasury any right to interfere in the matter. The Act of Parliament made the money payable to the individual, and in his opinion it was highly improper to bargain for judgeships in this way.—(Hear, bear.) He trusted, therefore, that no such arrangement had been come to with the present Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. •He must add, in giving this notice, that he did not wish to impugn the character or integrity of Lord Denman, than whom a purer and more upright judge had never sat upon the bench.—(Cheers.) The Act says 10,0001., and the financial statement only 8,000/. He only wished that the matter should be looked into, and if there were no other Act found, then that the evil should be. remedied. Earl , GREY acknowledged that the Noble and Learned Lord (Lord Brougham) had called the attention of the House to a very important subject. The fact was that in 1830 a committee had been formed for the revi sion of all the salaries of the several officials of the state, and it was by them decided that . the whole list should be revised, and that the several salaries of those officials, including those of the judicial officers, should be revised and proTectivelyreduced. It was a great pity that when Lord Ashburton's committee was sitting the Noble and Learned Lord had not turned his atten tion to it, and the snore especially as he himself was the chief authority by whom the charge was guaranteed. Lord BRO UGH AM—I did not know it. Earl GREY—Did not know it I Why, from his own knowledge, he could say that the Noble and Learned Lord must have known it at the time, for he was Chan cellor at the time, and certainly it was his duty to have inquired into the matter. But this he would say, that his Noble Friend at the head of the Government would take care, if it was necessary, to bring in such a Bill for rectifying the evil. Lord BROUGHAM was astonished to hear one Noble Lord contradict, on his own knowledge, what he had just now asserted on his honour that he was ignorant of. What might be the Noble Lord's notion of discretion he could not say, but this he would assert, that he .knew nothing of the matter until it was brought under his notice by Mr. Justice Bosanquet and Mr. Justice Patteson, and not only did he not know of :it, but it was quite contrary to his opinion. The Noble Earl had stated that he ought to have done that under the circumstances the Noble Earl was himself unable to do, viz., pass an Act of Parliament under circumstances which it was impossible to do ; that is, to pass an Act when he was, as the Noble Earl was himself now, in a minority in that House. The truth was, that nobody knew anything about that which concerned every body and for which nobody cared. Such was the case, ac cording to the Noble Earl's notion, but it was not his notion ; and as he was not nobody, but somebody, he believed that this was a matter which required a careful looking after. Accordingly his own impression was that 10,0000/. a year was a very proper sum to be given to the Lord Chief Justice, and he thought that a judge ought to be rendered independent of any Government. The Noble Earl had contradicted him flatly in the first sen tence, but had dwindled down to a probable contradic tion in the last. Truly, the Noble Earl ought to have better grounds to go upon than these. Lord CAMPBELL must agree entirely with his Noble and Learned Friend opposite, that things should not remain as they were ; and that, if it were necessary, an Act of Parliament ought to be immediately brought in to remedy the defect. The salaries of the judges ought not to depend upon any arrangement be tween the judges and the Government. Now, his Noble Friend who sat near him had intimated no opinion en this subject—on the contrary, he had stated in the most distinct terms, that the Noble Lord, now at the head of the Government, would in- , quire into it, and that, if it were necessary, an Act of Parliament should be introduced for remedying the 'matter. There could be no doubt that if there had been an Act of Parliament passed, if Lord Denman, or any of his executors chose to insist on their rights, they would .be entitled to recover the balance of the whole of the specified salary, but he (Lord Campbell) must declare that he never: heard •of such an Act. of Parlia ment. His Noble and Learned Friend opposite ought, if he felt that these matters required a remedy to have brought in an Act when he occupied the seat on the Woolsack ; he was the party that should have seen that all these things were right. His Noble and Learned' Friend had said that he could not have carrier sun a Bill. He (Lord Campbell)' knew that his Noble and Learned Friend had carried Bills despite of the large majorities with which his mea sures were threatened, and he also knew that if he had introduced a Bill on this subject, it would have puled both Houses of the Legislature with perfect unanimity. His Noble and Learned Friend could not say that he disapproved of the arrangement, and he continued to hold the Great Seal, and he (Lard Campbell) knew his spirit and his courage too well to suppose that had he failed in carrying such a measure he would not have continued to hold of ; he would not suffer his opinion on such a subject to be over ruled. The Noble and Learned Lord, therefore, ap peared to him to blame himself, alter the manner of the Pope, who said, “Jaclico me cremari." He acknowledged himself to be in the wrong. Lord BROUGHAM said, that if he took a share of the blame to himself so must his Noble and Learned Friend now on the Woolsack, who was his successor in office, and who had likewise failed to introduce such a Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR disclaimed having any ' share in the blame; and the subject then dropped. . ROPEMAKERS' BILL. This Bill went through Committee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Thursday. CORONERS' (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill went through Committee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Thursday. JUVENILE OFFENDERS' BILL. The adjourned debate on the second reading of this Bill was postponed. Lord CAMPBELL had the authority of' the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench for this Bill, but thought age should be an element in the consideration. And this because the law on felony and misdemeanour got into very fantastical conclusions. If a few hairs were to be taken from a cow's or a horse's tail, and away carried, that was a felony ; but if ten cart loads were to be taken and brought back again, that would be only a misde meanour ; sad the subject was one of great importance, and one requiring much consideration. The LORI) CHANCELLOR thought it was clear that a Bill of this importance could not receive its due consideration, and he thought that the Noble Lord had exercised a due discretion in withdrawing it. Of course he could not be expected to give any opinion as to its peculiar advantages now, but he would assure the Noble Lord that it would receive the careful considera tion of the Government. BATTERSEA PARK AND CHELSEA EMBANK MENT. Viscount CANNING begged to move the second reading of the Bill for the embankment of the north bank of the river Thames from Vauxhall-bridge to Battersea-bridge. With this embankment there was to be a suspension bridge somewhere about Chelsea Hospital , in connexion with Battersea Park as it is now intended to be formed. The whole cost of these imprOvements was estimated ' at 160,0001., but this was not to he all a loss, or a cost, to the country, for the Noble Marquis (the Marquis of Westmin- I ster) and - Other owners of . mile: rty,, „..hat (laa ttr subscribe to it to the amount of bet — ween 40,000/. and 50.000/ The tolls on the bridge were estimated at OlOggle Per =Was which would give tea FT - - cent. on the cost of the bridge. The Bill had been brought in under th,‘ sanction of the Boatd.of Woods and Forests, and be trusted there:ore that it would pais without opposition. L. - rd KINNAIRD would suggest that, as the report of the Committee of the Metropolitan Termini had been laid on the table, the proposed bridge near Chelsea Hospital might be made to serve the double purpose of a Metropolitan passage of the bridge, and of a railway communication across the Thames. Viscount DUNCANNON be ieved that if there was to be a railway communication at all, it would be far we , o4ard of Chelsea Hospital. The Bill was then read a second time; and their Lord ships a, journed. HOUSE OF r:Oilf MOANS, Jury 14. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter to Four. NEW MEMBERS.

WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE AND NEW PALACE COMMITTEE. Sir R. H. INGLIS moved that Lord John Russell, Viscount Ebrington, and Colo:,e1 Fox be added to the Westminster-bridge and New Palace Committee. GENERAL POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE wished to ask the .Noble Lord at the head of the GoVernment if he would b prepared to state, on Thursday next, to the House and to the country upon what principles it was int ended to conduct the Government of this country? 'Th, e people were very anxious upon the subject, and wished to have some information up , n the subject. Lord J. RUSSELL did not think it necessat to make any statement upon that subject. The princip lea upon which he intended to conduct the governineut were the same as those upon which he had previomly acted. - vritsT BEAT. John Harrison (Yellow) 1 Edward Hoilarn It was a close heat for some time, arid well round. SECOND HEAT.

Midst, They wenl, of N* ry levelly, and continued scull and scull for two or three minutes, when Red (the sex,igenarian) began to show in front, and as they approached Southwark-bridge, had nearly drawn his length clear. The rounding of the lower boat altered the position, and on coming up against the tide Blue passed through Southwark arch his length clear, and Yellow two lengths astern as third. Off the Waterman's Arms the first pair fouled, and this gave Yellow an opportunity of going ahead, which he never forfeited, win ning easily. EAST GREEN WI,CII. REGATTA. In consequence of the great patronage extended towards the watermen at Greenwich, two regattas have of late years taken place. The funds have been found sufficient to get np two distinct regattas, the first of which came off on M on d a y, under the p a t ronag e of Admiral the Hon.'Sir Rob er t SOT. ford, and the no bility and gentry of the neighbourho o d. Th e exceeding fineness o f the weather , and the perspe c ti ve o f good sport, induced a very numerous and respectabl e assem blage, who were e v id e ntly much gratified w i t h the rowing, which was first-rate. The race was with six scullers, in four heats, the distance extending from the Dreadnought to the end of East Greenwich, the distance being repeated. FIRST HEAT. ._ T. Watkins (R ed) T.

ASYLUM FOR TUE I)EAF AND Du ": - --On Monday the half-year:v meting of this charity Was held at the London Tavern, when thirty children were elected, making the num 15er• at present in the institution nearly 300 ei f itd r e t v - ThV subscriptions and donations collected during the dayamounted to obcst 404 BILL. Mr. HODGSON moved the second reading of this Bill. After a few words from Mr. GREENE and Lord CLIVE, Dr. BOW]IING opposed the Bill, and said that in his opinion the appointment of a Bishop of Jerusalem of it self would lead to great dissatisfaction and disadvantage. He contended that a reverend gentleman, because he had been appointed to that bishopric, had no right to come to that House and claim to be naturalised. 'Mr. HUT I' also opposed the Bill, because he thought it was framed in direct opposition to the spirit of the Act of Parliament at preent in force on the subject of naturalisati.,n. Lord JOHN MANNERS advised the Hon. Member who had introduced the Bill to withdraw it. Mr. BO U V E tilE was also -opposed to the Bill. Sir W. JAMES said ho should be sorry, if the reverend gentleman really wished to avail him self of the privilege poss.e, , sed by British subjects to give any opposition to the Bill ; but as long as the rev. gentleman was not about to reside in England, he could not see why he should seek for such privileges. Mr. HODGSON said that it was the first time he ever heard any objection. to the second reading of a naturalisation Bill, and his IlOn. Friend, before calling on him to show his reason fur itichse Bill, should have stated his reasons against it. Mr. ESCOrf said that this case did not come within the provisions of the Act, but still he thought that no obstacles should be thrown in the way of the reverend gentleman. Mr. J. COLLETT moved that the second reading of the Bill be posponed until that day week, as the Government should certainly know the object of such a Bill. Lord CLIVE seconded the motion. Mr. HUMS regretted that her Majesty's Ministers were not present to explain. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that it was desired that the Swiss gentleman, who held office as Bishop of Jeru salem, should bo Bishop of Jerusalem f o r England; and in order to effect that, it was necessary to grant letters of naturalisation. He saw no objection to such a course. Sir J. GRAHAM said that there were some inaccu racies in the statement made by the Hon. Member for Finsbury. In the first place, the appointment of the bishop did not rest with the British Government, but with the King of Prussia. Under an Act which had been passed power was given to the Secretary of State to advise her Majesty under certain limits to grant letters of naturalisation, arid one was, that the party should be resident in this country. He el'id not know the circumstances under which the present Bill was brought forward, nor the advantage which the rev. gentleman proposed to himself by wishing to be naturalised ; but be presumed that it could be explained by thi , Hun. Gentleman who brought forward the motion. He did not think the Bill should be passed as a matter of course. Special reasons should be shown for grant ing this naturalisation. If those reasons were shown, aed appeared sufficient to him, he should not oppose the Bill. 'lle onus of proving these special reasons rested with the promoters of the Bill. Mr. EIV ART quite agreed with the opinions of the Right Hon. Baronet who last addressed the House ; he thought the proper course would be to have the Bill printed; the House would then be in a position to judge of the merits of the question. Strangers were th'en ordered to withdraw, but no division took place. After a few words from Dr. BOWRING and Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Mr. 110DuSON consented to the postponement of the question for a week. Mr. A6r'LIONBY thought that the question should be postponed, not merely for the purpose of having the Bill printed, but that when printed, it should be placed in the hands of some of the members of her Ma jesty's Government, in order to have from them a statement of Ike course they would adopt with reference to the Bill. He did not wish to see it thrown out at once without any inquiry— There could be no doubt that the rev. gentleman was de facto the Bishop of J erusalem . He would s ugges t that the matter should stand over for a week, in order that it might receive the consideration of the House. Mr. HODGSON said as many Hon. Members bed expressed a wish to have further information on the subject before the Bill was read a second time, he begged, by the permission of the House, to postpone the motion until Friday. • Nlr. COIIETT moped tat the Bill be printed, in order that the Louse might be in Fissessiort of tho details of the measure, but as the motion was not seconded it fell to the grouad. Mr. Hurr reminded the Hon. Me nber that tl.e House was fully in possession of the facts, and that i o advantage w , uhi be gained by going to the expense of printing the Bill. Lord Kinnaird's (Sir John Webb's) Estate Bill was read a third time. CAPITAL PUNISHM ENT. Mr. TUOItNELY presented a petition from Thiry. in Lancashire. praying fo. coy aoLnltlOn of the partial meat of death. NOTICE OF MOTION. Mr. B. ESTCOTT gave notice that on Friday next, he would move for a return of all persons who had been committed for vagrancy in Ireland, or who had been sentenced to transportation or subjected to any other punishment for the last twelve months. WINDOW TAX. Lord DUNCAN begged to put a question to the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It appeared from a circular he held in his hand that the Metropolitan Buildings Act came into operation on the Ist July last, and by that Act certain penalties were inflicted for not having a sufficient number of windows in any cellar or building used as a habitation. Now a party with whom he (Lord Duncan) had been in recent communication, had seven windows in his house, and by the Metropolitan Buildings Act he should have eight. If he added an other window he would incur a duty of eighteen shillings and a penny, and if he neglected to comply with the provisions of the act, ho would be liable to a penalty not exceeding 20s. a day for every day he remained without complying with the provisions of the act after due notice had been given to him. Under these circumstances, he (Lord Duncan) wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman if such a person would be exempted from payment of the window -tax? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who was almost inaudible in the gallery, was understood to complain of having received no notice of the Noble Lord's intention to put such a question. He was not aware of the particular provisions of the Metropolitan Buildings Act, but he would make inquiry on the sub ject, and communicate the result on a future occasion. POOR-LAWS (IRELAND). Mr. HUME moved that a message be sent to the Lords, requesting a copy of the evidence taken before a Committee of their Lordships respecting the working of the poor-laws in Ireland.—Agreed to. SUGAR I UTIES. Mr. BAILEY wished Co know - from the Noble Lord at the head of the Government if it was his intention to bring forward on Thursday ne% t a distinct measure in reference to the sugar duties? The reason he asked the question was, a great many Mem bers were desirous to leave town, and the Noble Lord's answer to the qyestiint might to a great extent affect their &termination. Lord J. RUSSELL said that ho had stated on the .preeeding evening that 4/1- claysmx t. ha wouldwate the precise day when he would bring forward his measure relative to the sugar duties. Ile would name the couiatait withlgils 14)410 duSiol / TOBACCO DITTIES. Dr. BOWRING rose to call the attention of the House to a return, No. 295, moved for by Mr. Hume, and ordered to be printed on the 11th May last, exhibit ing, in a record of nearly one hundred folio pages, the miseries and the crimes created by the enormous duties levied on tobacco. The duties at present levied upon this raw article were enormous, amounting to as muss as 300 or 400 per cent. A motion to reduce the duty to a very small amount had been only negatived, upon a former occasion, by a majority of one—that one was the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He (Dr. Bowring) did n( t dispute for a moment that it was the duty of every Chancellor to attend to the revenue. Their were tar more seizures of tobacco than any other article, for, by the return of May 1i46, there mire; 538 seizures of tobacco, 171 of spirits, of tea 11; of silk 10, and 25 of all other articles. With regard to the convictions before magistrates. there were in England, from the Ist of January in 1843, no less than 430 convictions. In 1844,, there were 583 ; in 1845, there were 702 ; and in 1846 there were 872, being an increase of cent. per cent. since 1843. In Ireland, in 1843, there were 61 convic tions ; in 1844 there were 149 ; is 1845 there were 132 ; and in 1846 there were 155. In Scotland, in 1843 there were 37 convictions ; and from that time toe 1846 there were 204; giving, on the whole, an increase generally of 250 per cent. during the last four years. But he did not mean to trouble the House at any length with the details of the cases of injustice he had cited. If Hon. Members would turn over the leaves of that vo luminous and persuasive document which had been laid on the table on the subject, they would be better' con vinced than they could be by any language of his, of the huge and increasing amount of offences which grew out of the existing state •" things. Tarn there had been a great increase in the number of vessels engaged in the tobacco trade. 19,564 vessels, of about altogether four millions of tons, were engaged in the trade ; in the Ame rican and Baltic trade 145,386 tons of shipping ; and if the s tilers engaged in these ships each took—and no doubt they did-301bs. out of these stores, the amount introduced, independent of the coasting trade, would he nearly three millions of tons. Some was also brought to the shore in boats, and landed in the various rivers ; and no doubt large quantities were taken frocis the ves sels and landed in the night time. Even large quantities were deposited on the banks of the Thames, and brought into the very heart of the city in open day. Smuggling existed in almost every quarter of England ; it employed the wealthy and influential as well as the poor. He knew it was very difficult to di-cover how far it was carried on, but the general opinion was that the , amount of tobacco smuggled was fully equal to that which paid duty. He believed that there was in this ' metropolis 130,000 shaps where it woe retailed to the public, and it was qui'e impossible fer the excise to exercise over those homes a proper surveillance. ►t was true that the number of seizures had been latterly on an increase. The tow.' amount seized within the last two years was 266,321 pounds, which showed a great increase on former years, but it was nothing in comparison to the am: o mA which was , introduced into the country in an ilhs"it manner. In the evidence which was given before the, Committee of Investigation, it appeared that 40,0001bss of Dutch snuff was annually introduced which never paid duty, and, indeed, he believed that Dutch snuff, of which a great quantity was used in this country, almost never paid any excise duty. He admitted that the article of tobatcs was a proper article for the imposition of a duty; but he thought these duties should not be so high as to have the effect of maximising the motives and inaucements of the smug gler. The continuance of these high duties had a very injurious effect on the morals of the people, he believed there was scarcely a sailor who was not either a user or importer of illicit tobacco. The number of boatin(n who did not avail themselves of the opportunity of smug gling tobacco was exceedingly small. Altogether 478,042 persons were probably engaged in defrauding the revenue with respect to tobacco. On these grounds he did think he had made out a ease for a searching inquiry by the house; and he appealed to the Noble Lord, whose benevolence was proverbial, to turn his serious attention to the subject when revising, the import duties, and he hoped the relaxation he recom mended would take place, although some loss might possibly be sustained. He appealed also to the Right• Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer to give his atten tion to it, and concluded by moving the adoption of the motion. Mr. BUMF, seconded the motion, and earnestly ap pealed to the Noble Lord to give the tobacco duties his most serious consideration. He should not consider the rinciple of free trade properly carried out unless a re vision of those duties took place, a reduction of which he believed would prevent great immorality in the country. The motion having been put by the Speaker, Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN rose to address the House, when An HON. MENZIER remarked that there were not forty Members present. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and there being but thirty- four Members present, the House adjourned until twelve to-morrow. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

Mr. Mathescia has more than once been applied to on this subject ; butt we hear that it was only on the retirement of the late Ministry, and the able exposition then given by Sir R. Peel, of his views of the policy which the welfare of the country de mands for its future government, that ISIr. Matheson deemed it a public duty, paramount to all personal considerations, to comply with the wishes which had been addressed to him, should these be concurred in, by a suitable portion of the electors generally. We have no doubt they will; and these counties will thus have au opportunity of declaring their sentiments on the recent great and liberal reform of our commercial laws so successfully carried through by Sir Robert Peel, and on those principles of government and legislation at length adopted and avowed by him as neces sary for the future safety and well-being of the country.— loss. shire Adrertiser. We read in a letter from Pesth (iTunrzarv)—" A re spectable woman, named Witrewlewsky, residing at Pesth, went last year to Kleinzell, to be present at the Fete Dieu, and took her daughter, a child of about eiglit e cars of age, with her. The child strayed away, and the mother, after seeking for her for a length of time, returned home, in great grief. This year again she went to Kleinzell, and one day, in passing along a street, heard a child crying. which re minded her of her little girl's voice. She hurtied to the spot, and, in fact, there beheld her daughter, but. in a most deplorable condition : she was nearly naked, and black with filth; and with both her eyes out ! She was• hold irg out a wooden cup to receive alms. Behind her was an old woman, who, at the moment that Madame Witrewlewski attempted to speak to the child, pushed her back, declaring that the girl belonged to her. The mother, with great emotion, cried out that it was her child, and that she must have her. A crowd collected, and the old woman was taken into custody. When brought before a magistrate, she at first persisted in asserting that she bad found the child in its present state of blindness in the streets, and had, given her shelter; but afterwarts when pressed with ques tionS, she acknowledged that she rete the year before en iced the child away and forced out her eves with a knife, in order • to enable) lre'rEcrekcite - coliffilZsiii - a i Tel obiain ri ore aleindant alms in begging.
