JUR,ISDIC HON IN EQUITY. The Commons' amendments to the Improvement of the Jurisdiction in Equity Bill and to the Masters in Chancery Abolition Bill were then considered. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the latter Bill would never answer until the clerks were in immediate communication with the judges. In the other Bill the House of Commons had inserted a clause which he strongly objected to—namely, that taking away the power from judges in equity of sending a case to the courts of common law. It would add greatly to the ex eense of suits in Chancery. Still he should not oppose the amendments. Notwithstanding the statements that had been made in the other House—statements the most unfounded—he was hound to say that there never was a measure more maturely considered than the present one. He bad the advice and assistance of four equity judges in framing this Bill, every clause and word of which was duly considered and discussed. In that state it went down to the House of Commons. He found no fault with those who made alterations in the measure, as re gards their power and disposition, bat he could not avoid expressing his regret that this had been made a party measure. He had performed all he had under taken. He undertook honestly to carry out the report of the Commission. He had not done so servilely—he was not bound to carry out every part of the proposi tions made by them; but he adopted the sense and meaning of them. No one was disposed to give the Commissioners more credit than he had done; but still it should be recollected that their report was not law• Although . great respect was due to those persons for their conduct in this business, and the gratitude of tiae . country for the attention they had given to the subject;t, yet their recommendations wer e not to be carried out precisely. The alterations made in the Bill were, how ever, not of such importance as to call upon them to re ject them. He would therefore move that th e amen- meats of the Commons be agreed to. Lord LYNDHURST said he should bear . his testi mony to the powerful assistance given by . his Noble and Learned Friend to these improvements in the law. He had brought to this question that great activity of mind and legal skill which had always char ac t er i ze d him. He congratulated his NNobly this garneuat and dned important Friend m upon the accopeshment of measure. When his Noble and Learned Friend came into office, there was a large arrear of business, which, with the exception of one or two cases, was now corn pletely disposed of, through the extraordinary exertion and ability of the Noble and Learned Lord. —(Hear.) Lord CRANWOIrfI thought that there were one or two of the propositions of the Commissioners objection able. There was an alteration made in the Bill which he thought an unfortunate one—namely, the withdrawal from the Court of Cnaneery cf the power of sending certain cases to 3 court of law for their decision upon a point of law. This power having been taken from the Court would necessarily c r ea t e muc h more difficulty and e xpense in determining questions of law arising out of Chancery proceedings. There was, however, so much excellence in the two measures, that he thought that they would not be justified in risking their safety by ob jecting to the Commons' amendments. Lard CAMPBELL thought it would be expedient to endeavour to restore the main Bill to what it was when it left that House—he meant with respect to the power of sending cases to a court of common law. He spoke most disinterested'y upon the subject, because he was Urging the adoption of a course that would considerably increase his labours. He had come experience of a court of equity, and he knew the importance of retain• iug this power. In a court of equity these cases would be attended with considerable expense and delay, for they would be argued by several counsel on each side, instead of one. if they were to be sent to a court of law. Lord 13ROUGHAM thought it was a very unfortu nate atteraiion indeed the taking away of this power of sending down cases to a court of common law. lie did not think it would be wise to adopt this amendment of the Commons. He was of opinion that these measures would confer invaluable benefits upon the jurisprudence of the country. He did not think any measures sanc tioned by the Legislature would bear comparison in point of importance with those of which they were then speak ing. He begged to offer his thanks to the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack for his exertions in the promotion of these legal reforms. It was impossible to name the Commissioners without expressing their deep sense of gratitude for the zeal and ability they evinced upon these questions. The latei Government also deserved praise for the steps they had taken to give effect to their reports. His Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack had applied himself again to a full consideration of the subject, and had given them the benefit of his long experience, great learning, and distinguished talents. He was now per forming a superfluous task of general commendation, which was not likely to meet with the approbation of those inside or outside of that House who were devoted adherents to one particular party; but it was a satisfac tion which those alone could enjoy who were not under the trammels of any party—a satisfaction which aßeman historian describes as au occasional felieity—rard tem porum felicitate—of in feet enjoying the satistaction of thinking as they pleased and speaking as they felt, After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR. The Commons' amendmente,with the exception of one, were agreed to, The report upon the Metropolitan Water Supply Bill was brought up and agreed to. The Thames Embankment Bill was read a third time and passed. METROPOLITAN BURIALS BEIM. The Earl of HARD NICKE, in moving that their Lordships go into Committte upon this Bill, said that it was rendered necessary from the circumstance of the former measure becoming inoperat;ve. It was found ne cessary to abandon the former Bill because the Board of Health were unable to borrow the amount of money that was revised, inasmuch as they were not in a position to give sufficient security for the same. The inhabitants of the metropolis were not, in teen compelled by that mea sure to bury their dead in the proposed cemeteries. The present Bill was totally different in this respect. In stead of vesting the powers in any one party, it vested them in a responsible authority, who was to be respon sible to Parliament—namely, one of the Secretaries of State; and it empowers the Queen in Couticil, upon the representation of the Secretary of State, to order the closing up of such burial-grounds as were deemed prejudleial to health. Having done so, the parish in which such buriel ground was situ ated would be under the necessity of seeking some other means of burying its dead. The Bill em powered them to borrow money to purchase grounds out of town or to rent a portion of any cemetery, as they pleased, the parish itself or tip, united parishes having the power of selecting such sites as they considered best adapted for the purposes. They would be enabled to borrow money to carry out thi s o bj ect , pay i ng t h e in rest and capital in 20 years. The Brompton Cemetery h ad been purchased by the Crown, and would be avail ablel all those parishes who were disposed to avail ducee themselves of that ground. A provision was also intro into the Bill pre se r v i ng t h e r i g ht s o f i ncum b en t s to thei r portion iz, b i etrial fees. With reference to Dissenters, a t l a ,he new burial-grounds would not be conse crated, b at the Dissenters would be entitled to bury tho y s their own clergymen. Objections were r th i e s i e r d d b e y ed a who had private burial-grounds. There were two dee e . riptaons of such persons—the one was connected .w.itatt grounds that were already so heavily charged wan ad that they were objects of horror and disgust to : e l i i . e , i ca ng_. He did not consider that they could found p e tt t rti l . or compensation upon any just grounds. The other charged with went) connected with grounds that were not hth had determined With respect to the latter, the Crovere eten yv t nan upon the bringing up of the report to introducesuch a clause as would meet their C3SC. -- e did uo t w i s h it to go abroad that the Government we re going to ive them eomensa. mere ly proposed t o tion. They n e g tn i e i p s t f t r h o e m the action of the Bill such burial-grounds cially named by the Order in Co'tesetl. And y e w e e n ra ' ap h e e latter case the owners would be en titled to bevhealrnd he counsel, if they could shoe that th Qy would be injured by the Act, or that the ground was still good fo j r the faculties thit sur purposes intended. He apprehended that the present measure would get rid of all the di rounded the former one. uried in Lord CRAN WORTH said that the Dissenters were under the app re h ension t h at , w hen this Act W pesse they would b e d epr i ve d of the i r r i g ht of bein g b consecrated grou n d. H e did no t think that tee Bill could bear any such construction. The Earl of HARDWICKE said the Dissenters would have this advantage under the Bill — th e y would be able t o bury their deed in the cemetery or burial. ground of their parish, either in the consecrated or the unconsecrated tereund, just as they pleased. The Noble and Learned Lordfled expressed his regret that they were not also to be allowed burial by their own ministers in consecrated ground. That was a question which had been over and over shin discussed in the House of Commons, which, however, had declined to agree to any such arrangement. It was felt, indeed, that if Dis senting ministers were permitted to bury their dead in consecrated ground the character of consecration would be totally and entirely changed. Still Dissenters world be able to make their selection, and be buried by mi nisters of the Church of England in consecrated, ur by their own ministers in unconsecrated ground. Lord GRANWORTH suggested that before the Bill was read a third time a provision should be introduced against building upon unconsecrated burial-grounds. The Bill was then passed through Committee, and re ported, with amendments, to the House, Tne General Board of Health (No. 2) Bill was passed through Committee and reported. The Pimlico Improvement Bill was passed through Committee, and reported. The following Bills were severally read a third time and passed :—The County R a t es Bill, the Excise Sum mary Proceedings Bill, the Woods, Forests, d L Reven Sewers Bill, the Valuation (Irelanci)Bill. the Metro politanwere Bill, the Friendly Societies (No. 2) Bill, and the Crime and Outrage (Ireland) Bill. INCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for reading this Bill a third time, Lord SIONTEAGLE, whilst admitting the advan tages which had aris en f rom the opera: n of the In cumbered Estates Courts in Iceland, objected to this measure, that although, in consequence of the approach ing expiration of :he period during which petitions were to be presented to those courts, and the vast accumula tion of business which that circumstance had occasioned, it proposed to extend the period for receiving petitions another year, it did not go further, and extend the period for considering those petitions. The result would be, he feared, the bringing an accumulated quantity of IP._____nd into the market, without the court having a cor- THE SUN, y LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1852 respozding power to distribute it, and also a great de- preciation in the value of landrd pro t ierry in Ireland. The Earl of DERBY ilveed with the Noble Lord that it was highly desirable shat a glut in the supply of land, by forcing large quantiii-s of is into the market, should be prevented. The object of the Bill was erely to extend the time for presenting petitions, and taking those other final sups which were directed under the Ineumh,red Estates Act, and which time would otherwise expire in the present session of Par liament. But, inasmuch as the powers of the Commissioners to act upon the presentments made to them were to continue for two years longer, there would be ample time for Parliament hereafter to con sider whether or not it might be advisable to amend the existing Act, or to do away with this exceptional tri bunal, and by adapting the machinery of the Act to the ordinary law tribunals of the country, give them greater facilities than they now possessed for dealing with the peculiar cases which came before the Co mmissi oners. That was the view of the question which was taken by his Noble and Learned Friend, to whose opinion he was certain his Noble Friend (Lord Monteagle) would readily defer—he meant the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. —(Hear, hear.) His Noble and Learned Friend had for some time been engaged in the preparation of a measure giving the Court of Chancery in Ireland the further power of exercising the functions which were vested in the Incumbered Estates Commissioners; and his Noble and Learned Friend was desirous of continuing by the present Bill the existin g machinery of the Act for in order that he mi g h t h ave t h e opportu nityering and maturi ng t h at measure. anoth o e t r c y on ea si r d , The Bill was then read a third time and passed, as were also The Distressed Unions (Ireland) Bill, and the Hol loway House of Correction Bill. On the order of the day for considering the Com mons' amendments to the Common Law Procedure Amendment Bill. Lord 3 IONTEAGLE expressed a hope that a copy of the Bill wou ld b e sent to the Lord Chancellor o f Ire land, wi t h a request that ho would consider if some analogous measure could not be brought in for that Country at the commencement of the next session of Parliament. The amendments were agreed to. The Commons' amendments on the Secretary of Bank rupt's Office Abolition Bill, and on the Aberdeen Boys and Girls' Hospital Bill, were also considered and agreed to. And The Earl of DERBY having presented a petition from Leith, praying an alteration of the new navigation laws, Their Lordghips adjourned. "et Erb Xbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his s3at on the Wool ive o'ohck. sack F L ,rd MONTEAG,LE presented petitions against the Eccit-siabtieal Titles Bill, and in favour of tenant tight. The Earl of RODEN presented a great number of petitions from various parts of Ireland against the May nooth grant „ Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a cor porate body in Scotland praying for an extension of the County Courts Act to that country; also from an indi vidual praying that equitable jurisdiction in cases of small amount be extended to these courts. The Noble and:Learaed Lord then proceeded to pass a high eulogium on the working of the county court system since its first institution, and to take a review of the amount of busi ness transacted by these courts, expressing his opinion that the effect of the system bad been to improve our principles of jurisprudence. One instance of the im provement which they caused was the alteration of the law of evidence which had been imported from the county courts and springing from the Bill which had just passed this House with regard to corrupt practices at elections, might also be said to be entirely attributable to the County Court system—the only practicable Bill in fact on this subject which had been carried through Parlia ment since he had known it. Henceforth any candidate at an election would offer one farthing of a bribe for the future at his peril, because he knew that he was liable to bo called to give information of every fact which ho knew or suspected to have occurred during the election, and if he refused to answer, he would run the risk of losing his seat, if he were the sitting Member, or if the petitioner, every chance of being seated. Wo to him if he prevaricated or perjured himself; for the future he would be in the hands of his agent, or the person whom he had bribed, andfor the rest of his life, so long as he had a guinea, it would be long to his agent or the receiver of the bribe, because his character would be in the hands of those persons. All this they owed to the County Court System. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. PETITIONS. Mr. GROGAN presented a petition from the Irish Presbyterian Church against the Endowment Act. Mr. HINDLEY presented a petition from Stockport pravitig for the inspection of nunneries. The Marquis of BLANDFORD presented a similar petition from Devon port. Sir R. 11. INGLIS presented a petition from the sugar growers and inhabitants of Jamaica, complaining of being exposed to the competition of the Slave States, and praying the House either to protect them against such comps tition or to restore them to the position they stood in before the passing of the Emancipation Act. BIRKENHEAD DOCK TRUSTEES BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. HUTT moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a third time this day month. Mr. tIEADLANI seconded the amendment, believing that the Bill was a gross violation of an agreement which the trustees had entered into with their bondholders. • Mr. BOLDERO said it was rather an unusual pro ceeding to oppose a Bill after it had passed through the ordeal of a Select Committee that had sat 28 days The objections of the opponents of the Bill were fully considered, and the conclusion to which the Com mittee unanimously came was that the objections were not of such a nature as rendered it necessary to stop the further progress of the Bill. Indeed, the Bill itself was almost identical with the one which the opposition promoted this session, but afterwards withdrew. The dispute between the trustees and the bondholders, it was true, had been made the subject of a suit in Chancery, but the Vice-Chancellor had granted the in junction pro form!, without going into the merits . of the case. Mr. T. DUNCO MBE said an agreement was made be tween the parties when the matter was in Chancery, which this Bill would unjustly upset, and he should, therefore, oppose the third reading. It was a gross breach of faith. Mr. WILSON PATTEN called upon the House to support the decision of the Committee, and allow the Bi►l to be read a third time, in order that it might go up to the other House for the purpose of being consi dered there next session. Sir F. BARING said this was an extraordinary case. The Bill upset the decision of a court of justice, and the House oughi, to be very cautious how they passed such a Bill. Mr. HENLEY said, the interest of the Crown was not involved in this case either one way or the other, and he was not prepared to withhold the assent of the Crown to the Bill. After a few words from Mr. CHRISTOPHER, Sir R. 11. INGLIS said, in this instance the House had to choose between the authority of a Committee, and the authority of the Court of Chancery, and for his part he thought they ought to give the preference to the latter authority, and throw out the Bill, because its ob ject was nothing more nOr less than to override the de cision of the Vice Chancellor. Mr. TOLLE NI ACHE said the injunction was granted under a misapprehension, and it ought not to doter the House from passing this Bill. Lord SEYMOUR said the Bill was opposed to the ge neral wish of the bondholders, and he hoped the House would not pass it. Mr. F. EGERTON said the injunction never would have been granted had the Bill been then in its present form. Mr. HUME said the Bill could not be passed this ses sion, and the parties could sustain no injury from throw ing it out. The House then divided, when there appeared— ' For the amendment ... ... 35 Against it ... 47 Majority against it ... ... —l2 The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. The Lards' amendments to a great number of pri vale Bills were considered a❑d agreed to. PETITIONS. Mr. HUME presented a petition praying for the abo lition cf light dues. Lord DUDLEY STUART presented a petition from Leopold De Rose, a Polish refugee, complaining of the oppressive conduct of certain magistrates of Gosport. The petitioner stated that he had been a lieutenant in the Polish Artillery and served in the war against Rus sia under General Bern, and at the fall of Poland he took refuge with others of his countrymen in England, and for a short time received a small pension from the British Treasury. Lately, however, he had obtained a livelihood by teaching foreign languages and selling drawings that were the production of his own pencil. He was in the habit of going about the country endea vouring to sell his drawings, and while he was doing so on the 13th of November, 1851, at Gosport, he was given into custody by a person who called himself Captain Hamilton, of the Royal Navy, as a rogue and vagabond, and upon the evidence of this person he was sentenced, by the Gosport magistrates, to fourteen days' imprisoment with hard labour, although he had been guilty of no offence whatever. The petitioner prayed for inquiry, and the Noble Lord gave notice that to-morrow he should move that the evidence taken be fore the Gosport magistrates be laid on the table of the House. Mr. GLADSTONE presented a petition from a per son, praying the House to impose an 82. duty upon fo reign corn. CORPORATION OF LONDON. Sir B. HALL gave notice that in the next Parlia ment, should he be fortunate enough to obtain a seat, and should the Corporation fail to bring in such a Bill themselves, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to reform the Corporation of the City of London, either by extending the . Municipal Corporations Act to the city of London. or by a Bill having especial reference to the City.—(Hear.) ROMAN CATHOLIC PROCESSIONS. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that to morrow he would put a question to the Goverment relative to Roman Catholic processions in the streets. He should ask whether the Government intended to enforce the law against such processions. SYDNEY DRY DOCK. In reply to a❑ HON. MEMBER, Sir J. PARING TON said active preparations wore now being made for the construction of a dry dock at Sydney, New South Wales. COUNTY RATES BILL. Tho Lords' amendments to the County Rates Bill were read and agreed to. THE CASE OF MR. MURRAY.—TERMINATION OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TUSCANY AND ENGLAND. Lord D. STUART asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether the Government had taken, or intended to take, any measures to obtain detailed information as to the proceedings on the trial of Mr. Murray at Rome, and whether there would be any objection to lay on the table of the House the correspondence which had taken place with reference to this case? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The Government have received no further information with respect to Mr. Murray since the communication which was last made to the House; but instructions have been sent to Sir Henry Bulwer to give his personal and careful attention to this question, and we know from Sir Henry Bulwer that he has used very great activity in consequence of those instructions. The case cannot, in my opinion, be placed in better bands than in the hands of that eminent diplomatist. With regard to the proceedings against Mr. Murray, I do not think it possible that the evidence which was taken on the investigation can be laid on the table of the House. There is, of course, a great prejudice in this country agai ns t a ll judicial proceedings which are secret, but we must remember that in a country where assassination is really a national custom there are difficulties in the way of a publication of evidence which are not encountered in a country like England; and whether the cause be sufficient or not, there can be no doubt of the fact that the main reason wby judicial in quiries aro kept secret:in Italy, is that those who offer testimony under the circumstances I have men tioned often meet with a violent death. At the same time I think it is more than probable that Sir Henry Bulwer will either himself or by his agents obtain a sight of the evidence. I think it would not be convenient to lay at this moment any of the correspondence that has taken place on the table of the House. The House will now understand that the case is under the care of Sir Henry Bulwer, and that no means will be omitted to bring about a result satisfactory to the people of this country, and I am sure it has that confidence in the ability of that gentleman, that it will not press the Go vernment to lay any correspondence on the table which may embarrass him. Perhaps I may be permitted, and I ought perhaps tQ pay that since the House last met, we IMPERIAL PARLIAIVIENT have received frora Sir 11. B u l wer en Denouncement that • (THIS DA Y . the causes of vanunaeestandi t i g between this coontry ) and Tuscany have been entirely reesoved. The House will hear, I am sore, with pleasure that Tuscany had done ail that we csuld wish as far as the misunderstand log between the two countrien is concerned—that she has made a most ample acknowledgment of rs esret as to everything that has occurred with respect to Mr. Mather, and also an unequivocal acknowledgment of her respon sibility as an independent state to protect all British sub jects, whether travelling or resident in the country, The House will permit me to say that this announcement is satisfactory to the Government, because the affair has been conducted with so much ability by Sir H. Bulwer, that the very best feeling exists between the two Go vernments, the Gcvernment of her Majesty and that of the Grand Duke of Tuscany; and instead of this ac knowledgment on the part of Tuscany being brought about by means which often create a lingering ill will on the part of the Government which makes it, on the contrary the feelings of tee Government have been so very well considered by Sir Henry Bulwer, that the very best sentiments now subsist between the Government of her Majesty and that of the Grand Duke; for which we aro mainly indebted to the eminent abilities of one whom I must say is the most successful diplomatist of the age —(Hear.) EXPULSION OF C LE RGYMEN FROM AUSTRIA. Sir HARRY VERNEY, in the absence of the Hon, Member for Youghnl, moved the following resolution : That this House, recognising the undoubted title of the Queen's subjects resident in foreign countries to the con tinual protection of her Majesty, in respect of their liberty, property, and other personal rights, and con sidering that in the cue of the Rev. Messrs. Wingate, Smith, and Edward, arbitrarily expelled from the Aus trian dominions in the month of January last, with their wives and children, under circumstances involving much sacrifice of property, and other hardships to the suf ferers, those rights were violated, and that no redress has been hitherto obtained for the violation, is of opinion that the case is one calling for prompt and earnest mea sures on the part of her Majesty's Government." The was imperatively ca ll e d u p on to pro n and explicit o pi n i on u p on t hi s su bj ect. House, ' ew sce as h r a e ej t o ch i a c on e ud d gidh to t, hear that a good understanding had been restored between her Majesty's Government and the nry Courtßulwer MatherutTuscany, but the House was aware 'that the not the only one which Sir H wasattention could be judiciously di rec t e d to. e All that these gentlemen mentioned in the reso lution had don e was to distribute bills, c) , vf ecase asse and it was right that it should be ascertained whether such a proceeding was a violation of the law that ob tained torco in Roman Catholic countries. In this in stance, allowed to reside f or u p war d s o f ten years i n phhowever, ned alth ough none of the laws of Hun garychanged in th a t p er i o d t h ey rece i ve d peremptory orders to qu i te the country in the middle of last winter. These gent l emen were attached to the Free estw ear Scotch Church, and great injury had been inflicted upon them and the society to which they belonged, for which no money co mpensation could be considered as Prise. For ten years with the suffered to distribute their Bibles and teach the Government these parties were d aP o g r e pn :r ri i o i sp il ei s °rn w r h oe i fe c: t t h h e e y professed, and it was the duty of the House, as it must be its interest, to take care that e law injury u r the y country in which they lived the British or nature were not allowed to be perpe tt'uattreagdwesitobfam this p unity. So long as British subjects obeyed th Parliament was bou n d to a ff or d t h em protect i on aga i nst wanton damage, and he hoped Government wo uld be prepared to announce on this occasion that this subject would receive their immediate attention.—( Hear.) Mr, IaINNAIRD seconded the motion, believing that the expulsion of these missionaries was most sudden and arbitary. They h ad previously behaved themselves with great , and the cou n try h a d a r i g h t t o ex p ect the pence, d er e e n n c c e e of the Government to protect British subjects from similar outrages in future.—(Hear) Tee CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not awa re that this question was to be brought forward thi s mo rning, but he regretted more that the Hon. Baronet, had not propo se d a motion of his own, for the peesent motion was couch e d i n very strong an d unnecessaryterms. When th e G overnment came i nto o ffi ce this Office, and it would b e f oun d b y t h e papers t h at th e expul sion of the mis sionaries was in accordance of a law which t m h a e t A ter us h t a r d alreadyian engaged the attention of the Foreign ex i s tence. Und er those circumstances it was not for her Governmenthad made not to tolerate their Majesty's Government to dictate to Austria what amount of toleration it ought to afford to foreign religionists, and therefore doe some compensation all that the late or the present Govern went g ood sense, of th e was to make an earnest appeal to the Austrian authorities to render th ese missionaries for the damage which their sudden expul s i on mus t necessar ily h ave i mposed on them. The Hon, M em b er sa i d the case of Mr. Edwards ter could r was the most hard and tyrannical one, but on looking over the correspondence he (the Chancellor of the Exche quer) found nothing to warrant that statement, but on Y much which disproved it. It w as t rue was served on Mr. Ed w a r d Lemberg, but an intimation was a t made to him, that it was not n ecessar y f tttt o hhoh r eaet h sl i cae m o m aanvne e et either to d to quit that place or the Austrian states. He, however, disregarded that intimation, and went to Vienna, and subsequently, in an inclement season, to Breslau, of his own accord. He was allowed to pursue his labours for the conversion of Jews within certain bounds; but having committed indiscretions, by preaching to the Christian population, the Austrian commander warned him and issued an order for his leaving the states; but on stating some extenuating cir cumstances it was rescinded. This, then, was the man who was held up as a martyr, exiled from his country, and whose case was an evidence of the tyrannical and hard conduct of the Austrian Govern ment to a foreigner. Information as to his treatment had been elicited from him, but not one of the state ments made by the Austrian Government had he con tradicted. He, therefore, hoped the House would leave this matter in the bands of the Government with the most perfect confidence, and that it would not feel justified in agreeing to the violent resolu lion which the Hon. Baronet had recommended. In re gard to the question as to the sacrifice of property, the House would understand that it was very easy for par ties to make a very large demand for compensation. The sum claimed by Messrs. Wingate and Smith was between 4001. and 5001., but no one who had read the dispatches could doubt that was a very exaggerated demand. It was a great question whether the fur niture of the parties was not sold under very advan tageous circumstances, instead of under its real value. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by saying, that though he hoped this House would never be backward in listening to the complaints of British subjects injured by not foreign yet he could no t f or a momentit would listen to a cr y w hi c h was on substantial facts suffi c i en tly f o believe n Governments, e thatnu upon of joining in a censure o f Westmoreland,adistenwadhose conduct throughout th e w L e o l r l d kn own; n transaction had been marked by a desire to act fairly and impartially between these gentlemen and the Aus rian Government, s he trusted this House would, by rejecting this resolution, express their opinion that her Majesty's Ministers and their predecessors had done their duty, and that the Austrian Government had not been wanting in a sense of justice, and that the British Government had not forgotten for a moment what was due to the honour and dignity of the country.—(Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said it was evident from the papers on the table of the House that the discussion to which they related must turn upon matters not clearly established one way or the other. One point was, what was the loss suinained by Messrs. Wingate and Smith? They claimed a sum as compensation for their loss, and the Austrian Government assigned reasons why no loss to such an extent could have been sustained. No answer to that had yet been re ceived from these gentlemen, so the House could not be in a position to judge of that p ar t o f th e matter. Count Buol also offered, h o must say y in the fairest man ner, to pay the whole expense incurred by these mis sionaries on their return home from Vienna; and as no answer had as yet been received to that proposal, it ap peared to him therefore that the resolution proposed by his Hon. Friend could not bo agreed to by the House, because it affirmed facts and opinions which the House was not yet prepared from the information befoie it to affirm. He should therefore recommend the Honourable Gentleman to withdraw the resolution. Of course it contained statements which were in disputably true, and he should be sorry that the House, in declining to affirm their resolution should be obliged to negative assertions which were founded upon facts. At the same time be thought that his Hon. Friend, and also his Hon. and Learned Friend, on whose behalf the motion was to the thanks of the House, for bringing this question under its consideration, brought forward, were entitled de thought there was nothing more advantageous for the maintenance of peace than that questions of this sort should be brought under the consideration of that House, because it was of the utmost importance that foreign Governments should know that, if they acted arbitrarily and unjustly towards British subjects abroad, even if there should be a Govern ment in power here no t disposed for some reason or other to press the matter earnestly for redress, there existed in that House a de termination to discuss the matter and to call upon the Government of the day to show upon its own responsibility why redress had not been obtained. The blame, in his opinion, did not rest with the present Administration, but in cases of this description it was of great importance that the House and country as well should bestow great attention to the subject. In pro portion as the case of these unfortunate men became public discussion, so did the energy of the Government b ecome more consp i cuous. He more the subject of could never believe that the Noble individual who re presented her Majesty at the Court of Vienna would have acted as he had done, except under an influence of restraint, which he was bound to attend to. In his opinion, these unfortunate gentlemen had been moat cruelly used. They hail lived by the sanction and under the protection of the Austrian Go vernment in a condition of the most perfect liberty, when suddenly, and without notice, theeareceived orders to quit the country, and that at a season of the year so inclement as actually to endanger the safety of their families. The justification set forward afterwards for this act of cruelty was that those unfortunate gentlemen had vio lated some Austrian law, If they were violating some law it might have been expected that they would have been told that they were acting illegally, and warned that if they continued in so doing that they would be compelled to quit the country. It, after this warning, they had cotinued to act illegally, and had been ordered to leave the country, the .13, itish Govern ment would have had no grounds for interference. What now was this violation of the law ? He must confess himself incredulous as to there haling been any violation of the law at all. Havin g , h oweve r, received their or ders to leave th e country, these two ns i s ,i ona ries cometo her Majesty's m i ss i on at Vi enna , and related what w as the state of th e case . H e was quite sure that previously if the restraint to which he had referred had not existed, the Noble Lord, her Majesty's representative at Vienna, would have inquired of the Austrian Government the reason of their expulsion. When, how( ver, the case was stated to the late Govern ment a de , patch was sent by Lord Granville or: the sub• jeer,. of which he could by no means approve, though he could not blame him for it, because he considered that that Noble Lord had acted too much upon the judgment of others. But he muqt say he had never seen a dis patch on such a subject so abject in its tone as the dispatch to which ho had referred. These individuals had been living eleven years under the protection of the Austrian Government, they had committed no offence, they had violated no law nor done anything to justify any oppressive conduct towards them, and yet they wero expelled under circumstances of the greatest hardship and exposed to a loss of pro perty almost amounting to a confiscation. Now, upon that statement of facts, what did the Government state in one of its dispatches? Why, it stated that they did not question the right of the Austrian Govern men t to show w hat degree of toleration it pleased to foreign subjects, but this was not a question of toleration at all, it was a question of expulsion.—(Hear.) Tho dispatch of her Majesty's Government next went on to state that similar treatment had been inflicted upon the Protestant subjects of Austria and the Protestant subjects of other coun• tries, and therefore they abstained from asking for any redress, leaving it for the Austrian Government itself to determine whether any compensation should be awarded. —(Hear.) He quite agreed that courtesy ought to have been observed in making any representation to the Austrian Government, but as a humble Member of Par liament he ventured to think that without being guilty of any discourtesy, or saying anything that could be at all calculated to give offence, the Government of her Majesty might have stated this case in a manner that would have been more in accordance with the inde pendence of the country.—(Hear, hear.) Well, then, the present Government succeeded and took up the case, and he could not blame them for following up the coarse taken by their predecessors; but it was grati fying to know that the result of the public discussion which had taken place on the subject had induced a little more energy and determination on the part of the Foreign• office.—(Hear, hear.) It was impossible not to say that this act of the Aus trian Government was one of great oppression towards these missionaries, not founded upon any law of Austria, while he believed it was not founded upon re ligious grounds, but was founded rather upon political considerations.—(Hear, hear.) At least that was his impression from reading the papers, hut any one would suppose from reading the papers that the Austrian was an exceedingly intolerant Government, and like many other Governments in the south of Italy, would not permit any religion to exist in the Austrian States but their own —(Hear, hear.) No such thing; for it appears by the papers that there were three millions of Protestants living in the very part of the country from which these missionaries were expelled; and, unless he was very much mistaken, the rule in Austria was that in an Austrian parish, where the majority of the inhabitants were Roman Catholics, the Catholic priest received the grant voted by the state, but where the majority were Protestants, the Pro testant clergyman received it, and on many oc casions in the House Austria had been held as an example of toleration which other countries would do well to follow.—(Hear, hear.) Now this act had not its origin in intolerance; but the fact was, the Austrian Government were annoyed at the course taken by this country in reference to Hungary and the Hun garians, and they sought to obtain some slight retalia tion by this unjust act.—(Hear, hear.) The feeling, however, between this country and Austria had undergone a gratifying change since Count Buol had come into power, and he had no hesitation in declaring his belief that the spirit which the Count had displayed in his transactions with this country was as highly honourable to his feelings as a gentleman as it was worthy of the character of a great statesman.—(Hear, hear.) He had stated that Austria had been actuated by a spirit of resentment towards this country, he thought that resentment was founded upon mistaken views as to the interest of Austria herself.—(Hear, hear.) The first occa sion upon which that resentment showed itself was iu reference to the affairs of Italy, hut he humbly ventured to think that the Austrian Government would have acted with far greater wisdom had they adopted the views taken by the British Government of that day with regard to the affairs of Northern Italy.—(Hear.) He was satisfied the posses sion of Northen Italy did not add to her power, bat on the contrary it was calculated to make the people of Northern Italy more disaffected towards Anstria.— (Hear, hear.) It might be great presumption in a pri vate individual to be sketching out changes in the map of Europe, but if arrangements had been made by which the territory of Northern Italy had been traced from the port of Genoa, on the one hand, to the port of Venice on the other, and had an arrangement also been made by which the Tuscan states would have extended from Leghorn to America, he was persuaded it would have contributed to the peace of Europe and contributed to the prosperity of Italy, without lowering the power of Austria in the scale of nations.—(Hear, hear.) He could not, however, concur with his Hon. Friend in voting for the resolution as there were parts of it that c intained assertions:which were, at all events, premature; but, nevertheless, he must again repeat is conviction that groat public benefit would arise from the knowledge which this dis cussion would convey to foreign Governments, that the rights and interests of British subjects would bo brought under the consideration of that House, and redress sought to be obtained not upon the ground that the Austrian Government had no right to restrict its re ligious toleration e but upon the ground that the British Go vernment had a right to complain that an injury bad been done to British subjects residing in Austria,with the permission of Austria, without their having been guilty of any misconduct or crime or violation of law whatever.—(Bear, hear.) Such, then, was the case in this instance, where they found that British subjects who had done no wrong whatever have been expelled from Austria in an arbitrary, harsh, and most unfeeling manner, and thereby subjected to great pecuniary loss and personal suffering.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PLO WDEN entered into an explanation of the motives which had induced him to move that the House be counted when this subject was before under the con• sideration of the Government, and ho said he thought the House ought to rejoice that he took such a course, as it bud enabled them to hear the able address of the Noble Lord the Member for Tiverton, with the senti ments expressed in which speech he heartily concurred. Mr. HUME was coastrained to confess that he did not approve of the course which the last speaker had taken. The question ought to have been dis cussed long ago, and then there would have been fewer excuse' for the manifestations of feeling which had taken place on this subject. The speech of the Hon. Member fox Youghal ought not to have re mained unanswered so long, particularly when such an answer could be made to it as that which they had heard from the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Nevertheless, he agreed that questions of this nature should at ail tic 4e s find a ready discussion in this House; and, although he was satisfied with the manner in which the matter was now being handled, he by no means regretted that it had been brought so pro. mhusainttiee thisliY to beforeislo us the Ho thenn House. and Learn e d M e mber f or Y oug h al Lord DUDLEY STUART was also exceedingly glad had taken and the country.—(bear.) place, but they ou g h t i n j to remember that it was to the perseverance of th a t that discussion Hon. and Learned Membe r that they were indebted for the discussion. The country would never have been satisfied upon this subject had this discussion not taken place; for the people of England could not understand why people should be driven away from their homes for simply preaching the Gospel. When Hungary was up in arms, these missionaries abst a ine from per forming Divine worship altogether, rested from their labour, while, upon all occeasions, whether in a time of peace or war, they had been scrupulou.ly careful to observe the laws of Austria, under which they were living.—(Hear.) He concurred with all that had fallen from the Noble Lord the Member for Tiverton, and regretted that he was not now at the head of the foreign affairs of this country. It was worthy of remark that these complaints of the treatment of British subjects by foreign nations bad greatly increased since the Noble Lord had left office, and he was satisfied the Noble Lord's speech to-day would be received with de light from one end of the country to the other. The tone of the Government upon foreign matters seemed to have undergone a wonderful change since the end of last year, and the consequence was, foreign countries had taken advantage of it to bo insolent and oppressive. He thanked the Hon. Baronet for bringing the question before the House, and he hoped that he would follow the advice given to him by several Hon. Gentlemen, and withdraw the resolution for the present. After a few words from Sir HARRY VERNEY, The motion was withdrawn. ELECTION EXPENSES. Mr. STANFORD moved for a return of all charges actually made by the returning officer, or by his deputy, or by the clerk of the peace or town-clerk, or by any other officer employed under the provision of the Act 2 Wm. IV., c. 45, of each county, city, and borough in England and Wales, upon each candidate at the general election of 1847 for such county, city, and borough; distinguishing charges made on such candidates as did not go to the poll, and at any time subsequently at any vacancy for any county, city, or borough, during the present Parliament. The reason why he moved for this return was to pro tect candidates at the ensuing election from the extor tions which he knew were practised on them by the use derlings of the returning-officers. He had no persona motives in the matter, because he had one experience 01 a m [l a election, n an dh e a b n e d l e h v e e d th t h ought at a n t h h o a n t e s w t a m s asuu,ffici who o n f could t ur any not o, conscientiously join with either parry, ought to keep out of politics and out of that House. Mr. HUME said, that in 1836 he bad obtained a Committee, from the report of which the Hon. Member would find that the legal charges of the sheriff were very small, and the rest were merely arbitrary. He thought some mode of auditing the accounts of the sheriffs ought , to be establi,hed. The return was then ordered. THE TREASURY MINUTE WITH REGARD TO CHICORY. On the motion that the House at its rising do adjourn until half-past one to-morrow, Mr. H. BERKELEY said, that having presented a memorial to the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer on this subject, he begged now to pro test against the minute being rescinded against the voice of two majorities of that House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that ho had yesterday received a memorial, signed by all the most eminent coffee dealers of the metropolis, in favour of the rescinding oflhe minute. The minute was not yet rescinded, and before it was re scinded the Government would consider the represen tations made to them by the various classes in tae country- intere,ted in the question, [lnd more particularly by the growers of chicory, whose claims ho considered to be of more importance than those represented by the Hon. Member opposi , e, and who he believed were in favour of the rescinding of the minute. Mr. HUME thought it would be much better to allow this question to be decided by the new Parliament. Colonel THOMPSON said that hearing the sound of chicory, he begged to say that he had a memorial in his pocket ntleman which he meant to p resent to the Right Hon. Ge the Chancellor of the Exchequer, from 100 of the grocers of Bradford, on this subject. He had not thought that there were so many grocers i n the town, but he thought their unanimity on the question was no small argument. The motion for adjournment was then agreed to. Sir W. P. W OODpr( seated a petition from an individual complaining of the proceedings of the Eastern Counties Railway in reference to the non -completion of a certain portion of their line. The House then adjourned, shortly before Four, until Halt-past One to-morrow. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, June 29.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar re fused to sell under the rates of Friday, and both grocers and refiners operated rather freely.

Of 17,000 pkgs Tea passed auction only 4,500 sold, Congou out of con dition at 6d to lid per pound.

Of Cassia Lignea none has been brought to public sale-there is an improving demand, small parcels sold privately were at from 97s to 105 s for common to fine. Cassia Vera in fair request at 40s to 568, and supply keeps scanty. The value of Buds is 7l to 8/, and few parcels can be obtained. Several transactions have taken place in Cloves, Bourbon and African, at 6d to bid Amboyna 7d to Bd, and Penang lOid to Id. At auction 170 bags African were taken in at 61c1 to 6id per lb. For Nutmegs a good sale exists, and previous terms are welt supported; low to mid Brown selling privately at 2s 2d to 2s 9d, better kinds 2s 10d to 4s 2d, and limed Is 8d to 2s 6d. At present supply is small. Of Mace the quantity OD offer is not sufficient for the demand; prices for fine range at 2s 7d to 2s lod, mid to good 28 3d to 2s 6d. SPIRITS.-Prices are firm for Leeward Island Rum, and several parcels have been sold at is 5d to is sid per gallon proof ; the supply is not larger than previously. A goof demand exists for East India, and Is 4d to is 4fl is the value with a firm market. There are yet free sellers of Demerara; still many parcels have been disposed of at 2s to 2s 2d for 33 to 40 per cent over proof and 30 to 34 over is 10d to Is 11d, chiefly at 2s Id to 2s 2d.

The preliminary meeting of the ironmasters of South Staffordshire took place at Stewpony, on Thursday, and was fully attended, not one of the leading firms being unrepresented. The tone of the meeting was of a more cheerful character than for some years, but it was unanimously resolved to adhere to the prices of last quarter. It was acknowledged that nearly all the works are full of orders, some indeed were refusing them; that the produce at p resent is at its highest point; that there are sever a l causes conspiring to make an increased demand a moral certainty; but still it was deemed po litic to declare no advance in prices until this course was forced upon the makers. Some of the causes re ferred to as certain to stimulate the trade may be men tioned. The great infusion of the precious metal into the United States, as well as into our own country, is insensibly stimulating commercial trans actions everywhere, and must be really beneficial to the iron trade. The abundance of money is giving an impetus to the formation of railroads. Our trans-Atlantic neighbours especially, we find from their journals, are preparing to lay down railways to an amazing extent, which must require large supplies of iron. Added to these special causes, the system of free commerce is widening our foreign markets; and the home market, which has been languid for some time, is recovering its tone, either from the demands caused by the slew purposes to which iron is ap plied, or by an improvement in the purchasing power of the consumers. With these facts before us—viz., the whole of the works producing to their maximum power; nearly every firm full of orders; a combination of causes conspiring to increase the demand —a considerable rise in price is a mere question of time, and for the interest of all concerned it is well that cir cumstances should compel the advance, rather than that it should be anticipated. We may add, that many of the small masters, whose prices have ruled lower than the trade generally, have been compelled to raise them to the prevailing standard.—Birmingham Journal.
