On Monday afternoon two youths, the sons of a car penter named Gray, residing in Grove-street, Paddington, went, in company with several others, to the Regent's Canal, fer the purpose of bathing. Only one of the brothers could a.xim. In the midst of their amusement the younger brother got out of his depth, and the elder in attempting to save him wa.3 grasped so firmly by the alarmed youth, that be was pre vented from exerting himself, and both disappeared under the water. The cries of the other boys fortunately attracted the attention of a gentleman who was walking by the side of the canal, accompanied by a large Newfoundland dog. He rushed to the spot, and, perceiving a slight undulation of the water where the boys had disappeared, he instantly plunged into the canal, followed by the dog, and succeeded in bringing the boys to the surface, when the dog, seizing one of them by the arm, and the gentleman the other, the two were safely landed and ultimately recovered. Last Thursday there was in Liverpool one of those beautiful displays for which the localities of that town are so advantageously Situated. The Egyptian, iron steamer, con structed by Mr. Laird, by order of Messrs. R. Zvvlehenbart and Co., for the private use of the Pacha of Egypt, com menced plying on the river opposite the piers, and, from the speed she displayed, may be considered the fastest of her power in this country. She measures 123 feet in length by 18 broad, and draws only three feet water, and her model is of the neatest and most elegant form we ever witnessed. The arrangement of the cabins and the elegance of their outfit were particularly admired. At two o'clock Mr. Z.'s private signal was hoisted, and a large party of ladies and gentlemen were collected to gether, and enjoyed a sail up and down the river till late in the evening. They partook of a collation prepared on board on which occasion Mr. Zwilchenbart, after the health of our young Queen had been given, took the opportunity of enume rating the high talents and energetic powers of mind of the Pacha of Egypt, who is bringing his country fast to our European state of civilization, and his health was enthusiasti cally received, with a wish that he might live long enough to complete his task. The four Found loaf, best bread, was this day re duced in prico a halfpenny. It is now sold at seven-pence halfpenny, for ready money (or if paid within a month); and at cight-pence credit.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved that the house go into Committee on this Bill. _ _ Lord MALMESBURY sail that he had been incor rectly reported as to what he said last night on this Bill. He had been reported to have sail that Government was about to compel the lay impropriators to -dispose of their tithes ; whereas he said that the measure would afford ficility for the redemption of tithes where they were held in fee. He regreted that this Bill was not embodied in the Act of last year. The House then went into Committee. The Marquis of LANSDOW NE moved the addition of a proviso to the Ist clause, to the effect that every map made under the Bill should be certified. After a few words from Lord ELLENBOROUGH and the Bishop of EXETER, the clause was agreed to. Lord PORTMAN moved that the 3d clause be struck out, and one inserted to the effect that any one interested in the boundaries should apply before six months from the passing of the Act, to the Court of Queen's Bench, for any alteration in them. The amendment was agreed to. The remaining clauses were also agreed to with a few verbal amendments. The Bishop of EXETER then moved for a copy of any rule of the Poor Law Commissioners to prevent the poor in Workhouses from attending Divine Worship on Sundays. —Ordered. GAS LIGHT AN!)

Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of this Bill which he stated was for the purpose of regulating the practice of Attorneys, and for the admission of persons to practice after they have been three years registered in one of the Courts of Law as articled clerks, and having degrees from the London University, and Durham College ; as they were so admissible at present when having degrees from Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin. Lord ABINGER saw no objection to the principle of the measure. Lord BROUGHAM explained. _ _ The Bill was then a read - a second time. The Duke of RICHMOND moved for certain returns relative to the importation of foreign wool into the United Kingdom within the last three years, with the duty paid thereon.—Agreed to. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Ji.r,r 5. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Three o'Clock. Lord Robert Grosvenor, Mr. M. Philips, Mr. Fector, and Mr. Hirst took the oaths of allegiance to the Queen. The Lords' Amendments to the Great North of England Railway were agreed to, as were their Lordships' Amen d ments to the Carlisle Railway. On the motion of Mr. Callaghan, Eversfield Estate Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to the Sussex List. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE postponed his motion with res pect to Railway Bills till next Session. Mr. M. PHILIPS presented a petition from Manches ter and other places for the repeal of the duty on raw cot ton. Lord G. SOMERSET brought up the report on the Fictitious Votes (Ireland) Bill. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Mr. W. H. GLADSTONE presented a petition from the settlers of the Cape of Good Hope, complaining of the conduct pursued with respect to them at the Colonial Office, in consequence of the course they had adopted with reference to the aboriginal tribes, and praying for the appointment of a Commission of Enquiry. That the petition was aimed at the conduct of her Majesty's Ministers he would frankly avow ; it was not, however, his intention to pass any cen, sure upon the course the Government had adopted, but he thought from the statements in the petition, and the circum stances that had taken place, there was quite sufficient to justify the appointment of a Commission of Enquiry. Sir G. GREY said the petition was one which had been presented to the Government, who did not think the alle gations it contained enough to justify the issuing of a Com mission of Enquiry. The inquiry which had taken place before the Committee had been continued for a long time, and had been taken in the most fair and candid manner. They had called before them the best informed men as regarded the colony, and entertaining all shades of opinion with respect to the policy of the Government, and he thought it was quite justified in the conclusion to which it had come. Ile would not enter further into the discussion at present ; he would only further add, that the whole of the correspondence between the Govern ment and the Governor had been on the table of the house upwards of twelve months. He would not comment upon the language of the petition, because he bore in mind the se vere losses under which the petitioners still suffered, which were the result in his opinion of the bad government which had formerly existed. Lord Glenelg had already established a local government on the Eastern frontier, which lie hoped would be the means of saving the Colo nists from those calamities which had arisen to them before. Mr. F. BUXTON defended the conduct of the Com mittee to which allusion had been made. He could agree to the issuing of a Commission, but on very different grounds to those which recommended it to the Hon. Member opposite. Mr. HUME thought the petition ought to have been printed. He was in possession of much evidence which would corroborate many of the complaints contained in the petition. The petitioners blamed the Colonial office, and in his opinion their complaints were worthy of the most se rious attention. The petition was then ordered to Be on the table. EXCISE BOARD. Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from a soap manut4cturer in Liverpool, complaining of the conduct of the Board of Excise. It appeared that the soap ma nufacturers there were obliged to make their bars of soap to a particular size. In America and other countries, their pieces were made of such a size as to please their customers ; but here manufacturers were obliged to please the Board of Excise, who did not .deal in soap, but in every species of iniquity.—(A laugh.) . The manufacturer in question had a large quantity of soap, which was too long for the market. He cut it and ap plied to the Board of Commissioners for leave to "re-melt thc4,kap, which was distinctly refused him, the Board of 4'Cise saying he must keep it uselessly by him. He sent to Ireland, where there was a difference of duty, and a draw back upon that imported. He then met with a customer who having melted the soap, applied for the drawback, but was refused it, on account of its having been -imported from England. The prayer of the petition was, that some means might be taken, in order to bring the Board of Ex cise to their senses—(A laugh)—and the only way to do so was by means of Parliament. The Hon. Gentleman also presented a petition from Leith, praying for an equali• zatiou of uniformity in the bonded warehouse system. Mr. V 4 ALLEY brought in a Bill to abolish the plu rality of votin g in Vestries ; which, after a few observations from Lord J. RUSSELL, was ordered to be read a second time on Monday. REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, &c. Dr. BO WRING wished to call the attention of the House to certain circumstances that had occurred with re ference to the registration of Births and Marriages. He understood that the clergy in several parts of London had called the attention of their parishioners to the solemn rites they had to administer, and had informed them that no thing in the Registration Act interfered with those rites, and that they were not bound to comply with its provisions. He wished to know whether his Majesty's Government had adopted any means for making the law upon this subject better understood. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he had no objection whatever to the Clergy calling the attention of their parishioners to the solemn rites they were called on to ad minister, or of their stating that nothing in the Registry Act interfered with it. He however thought it most ob jectionable that they should advise their parishioners not to obey the law. The subject was now under the considera tion of the Registrar-General, who was preparing a notice to show what the law really was. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Report on the Secular Jurisdiction Bill was further considered, and the Bill read a third time and passed. The Bill for the Abolition of Punishment of Death in certain cases was read a third time and passed. The Central Criminal Court Bill went through Com mittee, and was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Beetroot Sugar Bill was read a third time and passed. The Masters' and Workmen's Bill was read a third time and passed. The Post-office Management Bill was also read a ;bird thrie end passed.

Mr. BROTH ERTON said Lc bad a complaint to malee, which he had taken every means to preccnt that were in his power. He had moved for certain returns eunoected with the charges made upon marriages at the Collegiate Church in Manchester. He was perfectly aware that the returns which had been made were false, and he could not get tlit!ffi (--, , trteted in a private manner. He was, there fore, forced to appeal to the Speaker as t 3 the mode in which he ought to proceed, in order to procure accurate intelligence for the House. Mr. WARBURTON recommended the Hon. Mem ber to move in the next session for a Select Committee of Enquiry, and then investigate the whole case. Lord J. RUSSELL said the best means of remedying the evil was to bring the subject under the notice of the House next Session, and then either bring the parties to the Bar, or move for a Select Committee. The motion was then agreed to. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the Reform of Parliament (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. BURNING OF THE HOUSES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in moving for a Select Committee to inquire into the facts connected with the losses sustained by the officers of the House at the burnitig of the late Houses of Parliament, said, by proposing this Committee he did not by any means intend to affirm the expediency of compensation being granted. All he wanted was, that an inquiry into the facts might take place, as the House was in possession of none. He moved the appointment of a Select Committee ac cording to notice. Mr. WARBURTON moved the further considera tion of the motion to that day month. There was not time for such an inquiry during . the present session. He supposed the Right Hon. Gentleman would not form the Committee entirely of those who sat on the Treasury Benches, or who were favourable to the claim, and he could answer for himself, that he should have no time to at tend the Committee if his name were included in the list of the Committee. In his opinion it would be impossible to do justice to the question, for they would all be engaged in their own elections, or in the elections of their friends. The Committee would have to go fully into the question, and it would occupy many days to elicit facts material for the Com mittee to come to a determination upon. A very great question would be as to the legality of the insurance, and which they would have to decide upon. He had been Chairman of several Committees, and the drawing up of the reports of those Committees would occupy all the time he should be able to spare. He believed the time of his Honourable Friend the Member for Middlesex would be pretty well taken up with matters relating to his own election, and he believed the time of all those Honourable Members who opposed this motion would be similarly occupied—therefore he moved that the further consideration of this question be adjourned to this day month. Mr. SHAW thought the Hon. Member for Bridport deceived himself in supposing this was a question of time ; and if it even were, he had no doubt the Hon. Member would be able so to economise his time, that, without incon venience, he might attend the Committee. He did not apprehend the Committee would have to inquire into the question of the insurance, and he thought the Committee would not be required to sit more than one day. He should therefore support the Committee. Mr. HUME opposed the appointment of the Committee on the ground that it could not come under the denomina tion of urgent public business, He did not think that the House was warranted in indemnifying an individual for a loss where that individual had the opportunity of covering the loss himself. It was admitted that the late Speaker was conscious it was necessary to insure, and up to three months previous to the fire the property had actually been insured, and if that insurance had been kept up, the late Speaker would have been indemnified. In his (Mr. Hume's) opinion, the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite was pressing forward this question when there was not a sufficient House to investigate it pro perly. If there was any man for whom he (Mr. H.) would have waved technicalities, it would ha s ve been the late Speaker, as no Member had received more kindness than he (Mr. H.) had done from him ; that was no reason, how ever, why an important subject like the preseut should be pressed forward at so late a period of the Seision. In his (Mr. H.'s) opinion, it was most unfair on the part of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite to press this subject forward before all the correspondence that had taken place had been printed anti laid on the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that not one word of the argument of the Hon. Gentle man opposite was attributable to him. The question had not been brought forward by him or at his suggestion, but by an Hon. and Learned Gentleman who generally voted against her Majesty's Government. The House was not pledged to vote the money by the appointment of the Committee. All that the House did by that ap pointment was to sanction inquiry. Among the names of the Committee ho had proposed he had not mentioned that of a single individual who had spoken for or against the grant. He would again repeat that the object of the Committee was not to confirm or reject the grant, but merely for the purpose of instituting an inquiry into the circumstances of the case. SIR F. POLLOCK rested the Speaker's claim upon this--that the fire originated from no negli g ence of the Speaker, and from no negligence in his house, but from the negligence of the public servants, at a distance from his re sidence and for whom the public were.responsible. He had spoken to the Honourable Member for Middlesex before introducing the question, and had asked him in what shape it would be best to bring it before the House. The Honourable Member for Middlesex pointed out the difficulty that existed on this question, and sug gested to him the propriety of moving for the appointment of a Committee. He should be ashamed if the Parliament were to close without something being done, upon what he considered to be a most just and equitable claim. Mr. HUME said that when the Hon. Member for Hun tingdon applied to him on this subject, he stated the claim could not be made without the sanction of Ministers, and had stated the best time to bring it forward would be when the estimates were before the House. He had also recom mended the Hon. Member to move that a copy of the cor respondence be laid before . the House ; and if that were not sufficient, then that the Hon. and Learned Member might move for a Committee. He (Mr. Hume) did not object to the appointment of a Committee, but he wished the docu ments to be laid either before the House or before the Com mittee at the proper time. He begged to be understood as not giving an opinion either for or against the claim, but as only protesting against the Committee being appointed at. present. Mr. C. BARCLAY thou. , * the House would be doing great injustice if it did not grant the Committee, and he had no doubt the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be able to find plenty of Members who would have time to attend the Committee. Mr. MORGAN JOHN O'CONNELL wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, if the Committee were now appointed, and they made their report. in favour of the claim of the S"leaker before the dissolution; it was his intention to move a money vote for that purpose this Session ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thouzlit it would be impossible for the [louse to grant a vote this Session. The Committee of Supply • had closed, and whether the vote could be taken as one of the Sessional votes, he must consult some higher a uthority. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL was glad to hear that Go vernment bad no intention of bringing on such a tote dur ing" the present Session. Then, if such was the case, where could be the disadvantage of delaying the inquiry .till the next year ? At the present period it was impossible it could receive the attention to which it was entitled. At the com mencement of a Session there was always an idle time, which might well be filled up by an investigation into all the circumstances. He was sure it would not please the coun try if it was taken now, and in a hurry. Lord J. RUSSELL said, when the matter was brought Members on the notice of the House, there were many 1 on both sides of the House who supported the claim. i therefore thought his Right Hon. Friend wasryj,uastsifielied in having an inquiry into the facts of the case. e thoughtH the present was the proper time for that Inquiry, did not anticipate that it would take many hours. Though, at the same time, he thought that it would not be fair to b r i n g forwardritohne.

At t , thut late period of the Session it was impossible for it to re ceive a criol and calm inquiry, for questions were sure to arise winch would occupy probably sonic days.

FRE M A NTI. E thought the Committee ought" to be appointed at the present moment. He thought Hon. Members were trying to obtain a most unfair advan uiry, as it would have the effect tage by postponing the inq o f 1-2 sting a slur upon the claim if it was postponed to an-. other session. Mr. IP: DUNCOM BE said the case had been . already inquired into before the Privy Council, when it was dis tinctly proved that tire had arisen from the negligence of the public servants. Un, - !•Ir such circumstances, he thought they were bound to r e m u n e rate the late Speaker for his loss. He denied that such a propositimi could be considered un-, popular by the country—the public wee always generou l in a case of calamity —they were not niggarjlY, and would', not refuse a fair compensation under the circumstances that had been moved. Under such circumstances, he . woule feel it his duty to support the trotic n.—(Hear.) Mr. WALLACE said there was another case which he was anxious to bring under the notice of the House. The question was one with which the Speaker and her Majesty', Attorney-General were acquainted, and it was one against which the Treasury had decided. He alluded to tht case of the parties who had paid heavy duties upon Sugar in the town of Leith. He would state, without feat' of contradiction, that her Majesty's Treasury had undet its lock double duties received on account of that Sugar. He would bring the case under consideration of the House at a later period of the evening.--(Cries of " Question.") Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, when the House divided, and the numbers were— For the appointment of the Committee 6B For the adjournment 23 Majority —4s Mr. WALLACE then moved that the case of Messrs. 1 Mac Fin, of Leith, who su ff ered loss from fire, be also re-I ferred to the same Committee.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. HUME seconded the motion. This was a case ir which individuals, having paid duty on sugar, and that sup,' had been destroyed by fire, they applied to the Governmem to be reimbursed the same quantity of sugar as had been burnt, without paying the duty, which the Government hat refused, stating they ought to have insured. Now (Mr. H.) would say that the Speaker ought to have insured and he could not see any difference whatever in the principle between the two cases. Mr. WARBURTON could not support the motion which, if carried, would increase the labours of the Com mittee : his objection to the former motion having reste( mainly on this, that there would not be time for the Corn mittee to investigate all the matters relating to tin Speaker's claim. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER trusted the House would at once negative the motion of the Hon. Member for Greenock. Mr. JERVIS would support the motion ; for the argu ments in this case were the same as those used.by the Hon Members on the Opposition side in regard to that of the lat. Speaker. It had been urged against delay that 21 years hay' elapsed since the fire. In this case the arguments were 50 stronger, for it was now four years since these parties los their money. The SPEAKER inquired whether the consent of th( Crown had been given to the motion ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER woul( not feel it consistent with his duty to give the consent o , the Crown on this occasion. He would be acting incon sistently with the vote tho House had just come to. The SPEAKER said the motion could not be pro needed with. Mr. HUME—Then, are we to understand that the Go vernment will sanction an inquiry into one case and not ii another, which stands on precisely similar grounds ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sal( the House had just adopted a particular vote, and he coup not give the sanction of the Crown to a motion whict would go to nullify that cote. Mr. WALLACE finding the rules of the Hozise against him would not press his motion. The following Committee was then named :—Mr Aglionby, Mr. Pemberton, Sir John Wrottesley, Mr Miles, Mr. Denistoun, Mr. Pendarvis, Lord Stanley, Mr. Ord, Mr. Estcourt, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Jephson, Mr. Forster. On Mr. AGLIONBY'S name being called, the Hon Gentleman begged to be excused. He was already on on( Committee by order of the House, and he was much en. gaged otherwise on subjects that were very dear to him He was engaged upon two elections, one in Cumberland anc.', one in Middlesex, in both of which he was particularly en gaged, and he would rather pay the money twice over out ol his own pocket than lose either of them.—(A laugh.) The Bankrupts Commission (Ireland) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Mr. FAZAKERLEY brought up the Report of the Poor Law Committee. Lord PALMERSTON laid certain papers, the natune of which we. could not ascertain, upon the table. Mr. RICHARDS then rose to make a motion, of whit} he had given notice, for a copy of the returns made by tht Bank of England to the Chancellor of the Exchequer in pur mince of the Act of 3d and 4th William IV., clause 6 of the weekly amount of the Bank of England notes b circulation and deposits in the said Bank, and of bullim and coin and securities belonging to the said Banl from which the average liabilities and assets of the Bank of England, published monthly in the London Gazette, are made out. The account to be made out weekh from the earliest to the latest period to which the same can ba made out. The Hon. Member was proceeding to state the object he had in view when An Hos. MEMBER moved that the House be counted, and there being only thirty-two Members present, the House adjourned till to-morrow. • MARRIED. ,- -. On tht.l 3d inst., at. Dagenham, Essex, John R.
