BETTING HOUSES. Sir B. HALL pr esented a petition from the Maryle housesbone Vestr. y praying f or t h e suppression of betting COLONIAL CHURCH. the whole House then resolved itself into a Committee of whole House on the Ecclesiastical Laws. Mr. GLADSTONE said the immediate object of this Committee was to enable him to do that which he could have done had the House passed the second reading of a former Bill which he had introduced. His intention would have been, bad that Bill been read a second time to commit it pro forma, with the view of introducing amendments which could afterwards be printed and sent out to the colonies for consideration during the re cess. The Government, however, announced their de termination to oppose the Bill, and under all the circurs-- stances of the case he did not feel himself bound to pretis the second reading. It was, nevertheless, desirable flint that the measure should be put in such a shape as it could be seat out to the colonies. All, therefore, that he now proposed to do: was to move a resolution to sanction the printing of the Bill with amendments, which he would presently explain to the Committee. The time had arrived when it was indis pensably necessary that some legislation should take place in regulating ecclesiastical affairs in the colonies. Now there were two modes of proceeding for effecting that object. They might legislate directly, and proceed to establish ecclesiastical courts in the colonies, or they might pass a Bill which should clear up the doubts which at present prevailed in the colonies as to the con struction to be placed on the existing ecclesiastical law. He protested against passing anything like a Church Discipline Act for the colonies, because such a course would be unwarrantable interference with the domestic affairs of the colonies. What they had now t;o decide was simply whether they should legislate directly on the subject, or content themselves with simply passing a declaratory and permissive Act, which should explain the law and confer certain powers and functions upon. the colonial Church. It was objreted, however, that they knew not the wishes of the colonies on the subject, but so far from that being the case, a meeting of colo nial bishops was held at Sydney, in 1850, when it was unanimously resolved that the British Legisla ture should be petitioned to pass a law, enabling them to manage their own domestic affairs in church as well as political matters. He knew, from information he had recently received from the colonies, that the colonies were still of that opinion, and his object in proposing this Committee was to pass such a resolution as should meet those views. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Se cretary for the Colonies, when this subject was formerly before the House, complained th a t t h e Bill w hi c h h e h a d brought in would place the Church of England in a pre dominant position, or destroy the supremacy of the Crown, or break up the colonial Church into small district churches, end for that reason the Right Hon. Gentleman withheld the sanction of the Government to the Bill. Now, the Bill was open to none of those ob jections; indeed, the charge that the Bill would destroy the supremacy of the Crown was not only unfounded, but perfectly ridiculous. True, the Bill might absolve the clergy from taking the oath of supremacy, because it was useless to impose unnecessary restrictions upon the Colonial Church. He therefore proposed to make no change in that part of the Bill which related to the Thirty-nine Articles, but with regard to the oath of supremacy there was a wide difference between the colonies and the mother country. At home the oath was absolutely necessary, but it was not so in the colonies. But did he propose to abolish the oath in the colonies? Certainly not. All that he proposed to do was to leave it for the Colonial Church to decide whether the oath should be taken in the manner specified in the Thirty-nine Articles, or in some other shape more adapted to the circumstances of the colonies themselves. It _strictions, he repeated, ought only to be imposed in cases of absolute imperial necessity, and acting upon that impression, he had re frained from introducing a clause into the Bill pro viding that each law passed by the Colonial Church should be subject to the veto of the Crown, bat that was a matter of detail which the House would have to de termine when they came to consider its clauses. The only real and practical relation that subsisted between the Co lonial Church and the Crown was that recognised in the principle of patronage, and he proposed to make provi sion in the Bill for continuing that relation, and securing the rights of the Crown in th a t r es p ec t. Hi s o bj ec t was at this Bill should he a relieving and a permissive Bill, not an enacting Bill • and he had accordingly made certain changes in ;he phraseology of the Bill e a h e e arattot o t grevent its havin g th e a pp earance o f th e l a t ter to the • In t h e f ormer discussion objection was taken Engiand.t hra se " declared m e mb er o f the Church of derstood, bel4ow in England that was a phrase little un but, nevertheless New Zsalarel it was well understood; tusk® in order to remove this objectfbn he proposed aleoa r e e the phrase run thus:—" Declared a bond fide ch anges of the Church of England."

In spitoof h isremons trauee Right Hon. Gentleman made long speech in tu movi a the sec on d reading, and three weeks h ad to ela p se befo r e he co u ld reply to it. The consequence was that th e Right Hon. Gentleman's speech worked it s wa y i n the colonies w i t h out a reply, and three weeks afterward s ‘. th e Right Hon. G ent l eman w i she d f or them to a djourn ' the debate, b ut he refused to ac cede to_ that_ proposal, and h e ma d e his reply at length, conc l u d ing with a motion. Fi ve weeks had elapsed since then, a_ nd now the Right Hon. G entleman came prepa red with a lengthened rejoinder t o that reply., He admitted, w i t h the Right Hon. Gentlem an , that the colonies felt great interest in this subject, bil/ it would be indecorous and improper to proceed with such a measure as this without previously consulting the heads of the Church of England, both at home and in the colonies. That opinion he stated to the House on the former occasion, and he repeated that they still remained without the groundwork for legis lation on the subject. Notwithstanding, therefore, what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman as to the objections which he had already urged against the former Bill, he begged to state that he adhered to those objections, and he must repeat his fears that to pass such a Bill would be striking a blow at the supre macy of the Crown, and seriously damaging the Colo nial Church.—(Hear, hear.) After a brief discussion on a point of order, Mr- HORKIAN said they ought to proceed with great caution in this matter. The principles must be s s a h y ow ato wa b s e ata clear l and unembi guout , b ut h e was sorry to to discover w h at rea ll y was the object of the lesht resolution. Gentleman in pressing th e the intended to e y overnment lad anno unce d th at of the C )ionial Thegturn their att tn ii on to t h e su bj ect Ccereh, aed he c. uld ace no practical good that this roposal. T 113• Bill ss like' ny to result fro m p w tv hich th Gent;emL;n formerly introduced e Right Honourable Bill, intended to introduce an y ,ocie v: i ti as s ti a c Tot vrannolu tioninto the colonies, but the speech which proposed it was y a de lusion and a snare. The Speech was a lamb, but the Bill which came after it was a Wo „ u. This motion, let the House remember, was brou g ht f orward by the organ of a party who should not be lost sight of—it was a dangerous and encroaching party, whose tactics could be gathered from the f act that its organ had made a speech on such a day and at time when he know it would have to go forth with ou t E SUN, reply, and leave the people to suppose that it was un answered and unanswerable. The coarse, however, pur sued by the Colonial Secretary was w idely different — it t m o e u in Id de feat was manly and straightforward, and it must be gra fying to the House and the country to know that it w the purpose of those who had been instre practical good could possibly r esu lt f rom the adop tion ntal bringing the subject b e f ore P ar liam ent. Nof this reso lution, but the Ri g ht H on . G en tl e man wanted it to pass, to print his Bill and sen d it ou t to the colonies. That might it wa s not the real motive for be the avowed o bj ec t, b u t a party in the this movement.

He hoped, however, for the purpose of substituting in a new- angled ue on its guard and prevent this. r ep a i r s i c i o a p m a e l n a t n w d o p u r l i d es e t o l had " The Right Hon. Gentlemansaid that the bishops of - has been deterred from meeting together to the colonies ffairs for fear of settle their own a p enal consequences. Of course the Bight Hon. Gentleman believed what he said, prissily but the (ur. Harman) would take the liberty of disbe lieving it altogether. The bishops had already met in synod, as everybody in the colonies knew. Who was to prosecute them for so doing, or under whin law were they to be prosecuted? He certainly objected to this Bill, and protested against its being transmitted to the colonies in its present shape. Considering the dangers and difficulties which now sur rounded the Church, any legislation for the distant colo nies ought to be attended with great care and caution. He thought this was a proposition most dangerous and absurd, and he hoped that when the Government came next year to redeem the pledge which he understood they had g i ven, to leg i slate on this subjecf, they would do so on principles clear, defined, and intelligible. Sir W. P. WOOD regretted that the Hon. Member for Cockermouth should invariably impeach the motives of any Hon. Member who might chance to differ from him in any opinion, and impute to him sinister and dis honest reasons for such differences.—(Hear, hear.) The other day it was himself (Sir W. P. Wood) who had been impugned with reference to the view which he had taken of the state of the law on another subject, and to-day it was the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford. The Honour able Gentleman said that this Bill had a concealed motive—that its real object was to establish an eccle siastical tyranny in the colonies. Certainly, if it had such a concealed motive, he had never seen any motive so well and dexterously concealed. (Hear, hear.) It was a very odd way of establishing an ecclesiastical tyranny to seek to give the laity a greater power and a larger share of legislation in church matters than was possessed by the laity of this country. The Hon. Gentleman said that some of the bishops in the colonies had done mischief there, but he (Sir W. P. Woed) thought that it was but necessary to refer to the progress of the Church in the distant colonies to show that the bishops had done great good. Many of them had been sent to a heathen population, or to a convict population standing in need of religious education even more than heathens. Within the last fifteen years the number of clergy employed under the colonial bishops had increased threefold, from 500 to 1,600, and in the Cape of Good Hope they had increase sixfold. IThe power which the Church in the colonies wanted, and which he thought would be conferred by some Bill of this sort, was to show the force, energy, and vitality which it possessed when duly organized. In effecting this object, he hoped the Hon. Member for Cockermouth would join, laying aside his prejudices for once, and endeavour to aid the cause of Christian truth by adhering to Christian charity. Mr. BUTT strongly objected to this Bill, to the intro duction of which, he was only induced to consent by the implicit confidence which he placed in the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Colonies. Mr. GLADSTONE wished to say a few words on a personal matter. For the first time in his public life he bad felt greatly grievedty the tone which the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary for the Colonies had adopted in his speech on the second reading of the former Bill. The language, however, which the Right Hon. Gentle man had used to-day had convinced him (Mr. Gladstone) that the expressions he then used lay within the fair limits of debate; and he wished spontaneously to say that he entirely withdrew anything which he might have said when labouring under his first impression, and re gretted ever having used them. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he most cordially accepted the Bight Hon. Gentleman's apology. The resolution was then agreed to, and the Chairman being directed to move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to the Colonial Church, the House resumed, and leave was given to bring in the Bill. METROPOLITAN BURIALS BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, commencing with clause 38. The remaining clauses of the Bill were agreed to. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE proposed a clause exempting from taxation horses and carriages kept for funeral pur poses only. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he apprehended it was impossible to move a clause of this nature in Committee on this Bill. It would be neces sary to go into a Committee of the whole House, and move a special resolution with regard to this parti cular tax. The amendment was then withdrawn. Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved a clause providing compensation for the owners of burial grounds which might be closed by the operation of this Bill. The CHAIRMAN said the same objection would ap ply to this clause as had been urged against the clause of the Hon. Member for Finsbury. If the compensation were to come out of the Consolidated Fund, a prelimi nary resolution would be necessary. After a brief discussion the clause was added to the Bill. The preamble was afterwards agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be received to-morrow. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (AMEND MENT) BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Sir GEORGE PECHELL suggested that certain alterations should be made in the Bill with reference to the town of Brighton. After a few words from Lord J. MANNERS, The House went into Committee. Sir GEORGE PECHELL moved the omission of clause 5, which related to Brighton. The motion was agreed to. All the other clauses were agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be received to-morrow. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES (No. 2) BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. PETO called the attention of the House to the proceedings of the late Board of Sewers, of which he was a member, having been appointed with his Hon. Friend the Member for Whitby by the late Government. At the period of their appointment an understanding was come to with the Government relative to the com pletion of a sewer survey, and ultimately such a survey n: accomplished to the Qatiefeotion of all parties. It M a her now found, however, that the Board had no a?wer to borrow money, and the works which had been p,,,,,,__, utes _ . auout by the Board were suddenly brought to a or mollsu'he Board had arranged to borrow a large sum thirty , the repayment to be spread over a period of rend er lears, but the late Gover nment wou ld of th e the e Board no ass i s tance, and the m a j or ity compelled s abers, including himself, were ultimately having 1 , to resign, an erroneous i mpress i on templated etivtiled that the Co mm i ss i oners h a d con the sewe r gF the Thames for the purposes of the House az a , but the44Board, he could assure such an idea.

It was some time since a Noble Earl had moved for a portion of these papers in another place; but the papers produced were only part of those which he now called for. The papers had not been returned to the secret department of the Indian Board, but to the East India Company, and there could be no difficulty in producing the documents which he asked for. The Noble Lord then proceeded to recal to the recollection of the House the incidents and results of the campaign in Sinde, which began in 1838, and terminated in 1842. In 1841 Sir Charles Napier came upon the Sinde scene, and immediately concluded an alliance with Ali Morad, which so alarmed Meer Koostun that he threw himself upon fhe mercy of the British General. The British l Geseral, however, instead of rendering him assistance, referred him to his brother, to Ali Morad, and in the end Meer Koostun was forced to take refuge in Lower Sinde. Here the people, indignant at the treacherous treatment he had received from his unnatural brother, espoused his cause, and a terrible battle ensued between them and the British forces. The natives were defeated, and then it transpired that Ali Morad, through the instrumentality of a forged alteration, which he had introduced into a treaty, had secured property which belonged by conquest to the British Government. A Commission was then appointed to investigate this charge, which was made at the instance of Meer Koos tun, and the forgery was proved. It was also established that the charges which had been preferred against Meer Koostun of conspiring, with the Court of Lahore, against the British Government, were wholly without foundation, and the evidence upon which they were attempted to be supported to be pure fabrication. Subsequent events, and after discoveries, had only tended to confirm the innocence of Meer Koostun, and it was only an act of justice to that unfortunate prince that he now asked for the production of these papers, which would redound alike to the honour of the British Government as to the credit of the victims of the abominable and unfounded charges which he had just been adverting to. In 1842 the opinion of the Governor- General was entirely in favour of the unfortunate Meer Koostun. But a few years later that unfortunate prince had been a homeless wanderer. He (Lord Jocelyn) had received innumerable letters from officers who had long resided in Sinde, testifying to the high character of these unfortunate princes. The position of the Ameers since the acquisition of the Sindian territory has been wretched in the extreme, some of them even had been reduced to actual distress. The wives of these princes had remained at Hyderabad, where they lived in a hovel without even a mat on the floor, and scarcely protected from the weather. This was one of the most painful stories con nected with the British rule in India. It was a story known throughout Central Asia, and it had even pene trated into Africa. It was a question involving the ho noni of the British name, and which therefore required the utmost attention. In behalf of the exiled Ameers o Sinde he asked for the consideration and sympathy o : the House. Sir ROBERT INGLIS said he felt it to be an honour and pleasure to second the motion of his Hon. Friend. The treatment of the inhabitants of Sinde was the most etrking instance of tyrannical oppression re corded in the page of history. He hoped that the House would attend to the suggestions of his Hon. Friend. Mr. BAILLIE considered that the speech of the Noble Lord had very little reference to the motion which he had submitted to the House. He was surprised that the Noble Lord should now rake up this old question with regard to our Indian policy of 1848. If blame attached to any one it was to the Government which sanctioned the acts of which the Noble Lord complained, and of which he was, notwithstanding, a member. Six o'clock having arrived, the discussion was ad journed till to-morrow. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—AdViCeB by the Cambria inform us that there was a giving way in cotton of c. per lb. at New York, on the 6th inst., after the Great Britain had left that port; but that the market recovered its tone in some degree, partially rising it. on the re ceipt of letters to the 25th ult. from Liverpool, yet clos ing heavily, with a very small amount of operations. The southern markets continue dull. The accounts of the growing crop were no less favourable than before. These advices had a somewhat unfavourable effect yester day upon the Liverpool market, which was spiritless, the sales being only 4,000 to 5,000 bales, with a slight incli nation in prices against sellers. It seemed probable, at the opening of our own market this morning, that we should have not only a fiat day, but rather lower prices. This was the general impression ; but though there cer tainly has been an inanimate state of things, we have not had anything like depression. Rather lower prices have been offered for yarns ; and spinners have in many instances divided the difference with the buyers, whilst in many other instances they have refused to give way at all. The concession is small and not generally made. The sales have been of limited extent. In the goods department, the better qualities of 7.8 and 9.8 printers are in rather increased request, and still inclining to harden in price. Domestics appear to be slowly coming more into demand, but the very small advance latterly contended for is no less than before a bone of contention. Some purchases of the lower qualities of shirtings for India have been made to-day; the better sorts, however, but little inquired after. ROCHDALE, MONDAY,—We have had a brisk demand for pieces, at former prices; and those manufacturers who were willing to submit to this had no difficulty in , parting with their goods. The wool market is im proving, both in price and demand. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.--We have had a very flat market to-day, and scarcely anything has been done either in plain or fancy goods. The yarn market is languid, and the spinners have established a slight ad vance, though not equal to the increased cost of the raw material. The transactions in wool are pretty nu merous, but not so much so as they would be if the stocks in the market were larger; and the staplers are obtaining rather better prices. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDA.Y.—MOre business has been done in the cloth hall to- day than last week, principally in the lower class of goods. Trade has been flat in the warehouses during the week, and not much has been doing to-day. Very few buyers having been in the town, those that have have bought direct from the cloth hall.

Viscount Edouard Walsh, a Legitimist, bas writ ten to the newspapers from Vienna to state that he has declined to receive the sum of 22,000 f. awarded to him by the Directeur des Beaux Arts, for the re storation of his chateau of Chaumont, on the banks of the Loire, which is considered an historical monu ment. His reason is, he states, that his acceptance of the money was malevolently misrepresented in a political point of view ; and that be is anxious to prove that he has not ceased to be devoted to the principles he has defended all his life. A telegraphic dispatch from Constantine, of the 13th, addressed to the Governor-General of Algeria, announces that the insurrection of the Haractas has been put down. The principal part of the insurgents had come and pitched their tents near the French troops, having sent delegates to ask for the Aman. General d'Autemarre, who has taken the command of all the forces in the east, is to regulate this affair on the spot. Communications have been re-established with Tebessa. The revolted tribes in the vicinity of Guelma are divided, and uncertain as to the conduct they ought to follow. Colonel de Tourville, commander of the subdivision of Bona, was to enter the country of the Ouled Dhan on the 13th. Their insurrectional movement appears to have been caused by the secret schemes of the Mussulman religious associations. It began in the environs of La Calle, and has been propagated by the excitations of the Cherif of Ouargla. The Tanger, which left Bona on the 12th, at eight o'clock in the evening, and touched at Collo on the 13th, conveyed to Algiers the news that the situation of affairs had improved in the sub division of Bona. VENEZUELAN BONDHOLDERS. The Venezuela bondholders will feel disappointed, we apprehend, at the supineness of the Legislature atCarac cas in not adopting the agreement made by theirGovern ent with Mr. Lord, but, on the other hand, they may be gratified to learn by the correspondence annexed that the Finance Minister is likely to use proper exer tion to meet all engagements. The mistake which Mr. Lord points out in respect to provision being made twice over for the same dividend is a singular example of loose account keeping, that we should imagine to be pe culiar to Spanish American States The following is from Mr. Lord's letter, dated " La Guayra, 25th and 26th of May, 1852," received by the Committee in London:— "To the foregoing duplicate of my respects of 10th in st., I now beg leave to add that the Extraordinary Ses sion of Congress closed ou Sunday, the 23d, without the least notice having been taken of the agreement since the sth of April, the day on which the Chamber of Re pt esentatives postponed the further consideration of it for four days; and thus it remains, neither approved nor disapproved, to abide the course of events between this ar d the Congress of next year! Meantime in the law of ways and means' for the ensuing financial year, com mencing on the Ist of July n ex t, t h ere appears t hi s its m—' For the payment of the dividends on the Foreign Dobt 700,000 dolls. ' " The project of law, as sanctioned by;the Lower Chamber, provided as follows:—For the current late r,.st on the Active Debt at 31 per cent., cad for interest on the Deferred at 1 per cent., the sum of 495,554 24,; on account of arrear dividends 200,000; and it was al tered as above in the Senate. The former of the just mnntioned sums was composed of interest on Active Debt, at 3i per cent., 64,048,164, at 61 dolls.-- - 400,305 dolls.; ditto on Def erre d at 1 per cent., 15,239/. 173.3 d.; ditto ditto-=_95,249,26—total dolls. 495,554,26. Bat as the latter c ommences from lit Ootober, 1852, clear it is that the half -year's interest due on Ist April, 18 53, should alone find place in the ensuing financial year. " I intend shortly passing another note to the Minister, aim ply to date that, under existing circumstances, I LONDON, WEDNESDArY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1852. shall not again trouble him with my remonstrances, until I recaivo fresh instructions from the Cimmittee so to do. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, JUNE 22. We continue to be scantily supplied with wheat at market ; what sales were made were at prices fully a shilling above last week's rates, and a firmness prevailed easily accounted for by the continued wet weather experienced ; indeed, if injury has not already been sustained by any other crop than beans, should the wet continue, it must reduce both the quality and quantity of the wheat crop. " On the 22d Messrs. Frederick Huth and Co. were named by the Executive Fiscal Agents of Venezuela in London. " Late yesterday afternoon (26th May) I received a note from the Minister, dated the 21st, of which I beg to €I:ICIOiA3 a copy. " The dividend of April, 1847, was duly paid by Messrs.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states : The weather has been broken during the past week, and some amount of rain has fallen—rather more than was required— and this having been general throughout the kingdom, more firmness has been imparted to the trade, and some advance ob tained upon wheat. The present low range of prices, the short imports, and moderate state of stocks, makes us very suscep ticle to improvement at this critical season. We had for this day's market a moderate show of wheat from our farmers, but very little foreign. The former was ready sale at fully is per quarter over the rates current last Tuesday, and no great dis position on the part of farmers (who are chiefly of a class well able to hold) to sell at the advance. More looking after foreign wheat, but only a retail business resulted; granaried parcels being held on higher terms than the consuming market will admit being paid. There is a consumptive sale for barley at our quotations. Beans are I s per quarter dearer. Peas in quired for. Oats are neglected. A very limited business passing in linseed; fine qualities are scarce - several of the mills continue closed. Linseed cakes dull, 'and to be bought on easier terms. Rape cakes are the turn lower.

American Flour was not any dearer, but it is moving pretty ex tensively into the hands of our bakers. Indian corn has de clined fully is 3d per quarter on the week. Oats slightly easier in price, but in fair demand. Egyptian beans were 6d to 9d per quarter higher, and not many offering. Oatmeal, barley, and peas, were without change of value.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 22. from Herefordshire Mr. The House ALco c re K sum pr e e d se a n t t S ed ix a o'e p lo e c ti k tion against the monopoly in guano. DETENTION OF A COLOURED SEAMAN CLAIMING BRITISH PROTECTION, IN A UNITED STATES PRISON. Mr. M. MILNES begged to ask her Majesty's Go vernment what steps had been taken to expedite the course of public justice in the case of Manuel Pereira, a coloured seaman, under British protection, detained in the prison of Charlestown, in the United States, in consequence of the vessel on whicil he was employed having put into that port in distress, and in whose fa vour Mr. Mathew, her Majesty's consul at that place, has applied for a writ of habeas corpus on appeal to the Supreme Court of the State k of South Carolina, in ses sion at Columbia, which court had postponed the hear ing of the said case till January next ? Lord STANLEY was glad that this question had been put, because he thou tat it desirable on all accounts that public attention, both in this country and the United States, should as far as possible be called to the hard and oppressive working of , those local and provincial laws which obtained in the southern states of the Union with respect to negroes. With regardta to the pr e s e nt case, it was su p pose d mo t polled British brig, homeward bound, was to put in at Charlestown harbour in re f state. Who wed Was found Le be WOO able Q sinking pair, and it was condemned. Amongst the men there appeared to be a person named Manuel Pereira, S 1 co loured seaman, who, strictly speaking, v. se a Portuguese, and not a British subject. He was co far a British sub ject, however, that he was an articled seaman of a Bri tish ship. In conformity with the law of South Carolina it appeared that for some imputed offence he was taken out of the ship and lodged in the common gaol of the town. It was said that this seaman applied to the Por tuguese consul, but that no notice was taken of the ap plication. Shortly afterwards the master of the vessel left Charlestown, suffering Manuel Pereira to remain in prison. Mr. Mathew, her Majesty's consul at Charles town, had distinct orders what to do in such cases, and it became a question whether he should appeal to the United States District Court, or to the court of South Ca rolina. In the end it was decided that application on the subject should be made to the court of South Carolina. It then appeared that the judge refused the application for a writ of habeas corpus, reserving such decision for the upper court. The superior court was to meet in Co lumbia in May, and the latest aeccunts received by the Government were dated the 28th of that month, by which it appeared that the matter was still pending in the Court of Appeal. The present question was not a novel one, but it required very delicate handling. No subject led to a greater diversity of feeling or difference of opinion, than that which related to the mutual obligations affect ing the federal and provincial governments. The most energetic remonstrances had been addressed by the Noble Lord the Member for Tiverton on this very sub ject; and he (Lord Stanley) believed that a relaxation had taken place in the law in one of the states of the Union. He had also every reason to believe that in time public opinion would procure the abrogation of laws which, although they were carried out in one of the most intelligent countries of the world, were nevertheless a disgrace and a scandal to civilization.—(Hear.) Mr. M. MILNES asked whether he was to understand that the Supreme Court of South Carolina bad not post poned the hearing of the case? Lord STANLEY repeated that the Government were not in receipt of any later dispatch than the one of the 26th of May. The remaininr , clown were thon agreed to, and the Bill, haviog goee i'lrourth Ctimmluee, was ordered to be reported this day. The report on the Crime end Oat7ege (Ireland) Bill was brought up, and th e Bill or d ere d t o b e read a thud The Nisi Prius Officers Big seas read a third time. On the motion of Mr. FRESHFIELD, some amend ments were introduced in the measure, and it then passed. The order of the day having been read for consider ing the Patent Law Amendment Bill, as amended, Mr. CARTER moved the insertion of the following clause:-- 4 $ L any person shall, by himself, or by the agency of any other porson or persons, knowingly, 14 ' 11 " fully, and fraudulently pirate, imitate, or manufacture, for sale or profit, any article, or part of an article, pro tected by letters patent under this or any other Act, be shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof before any court of general or quarter sessions, oyer and terminer, or gaol delivery, F l a il be liable to be imprisoned for a ny term not exceeding twelve ca lendar months, with or without hard labour, or to pay a fine not exceeding 1004, with or without imprison ment as aforesaid; provided always, that no conviction for this offen ce s h a ll prevent or &feat any civil remely which the party aggrieved may have by action or other wise.” The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ePP O34 d the motion. He had never heard a more monstrous pro position. The motion was then negatived without a division , and the amendments in the Bill were agreed to. The amendments in th e E ccum b e redEstates (Ireland) Bill were agreed to. The Common Law Procedure Bill was read a thud time. On the question that the Bill do pass, Mr. S. WORTLEY moved the addition of a clause, " To empower her Majesty to apply the provisions of this Bill, at a n y time she may think proper, to all court of record in the kingdom besides those of W estminster." The clause was brought up and agreed to. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The School Sites Acts Extension Bill passed through Committee, as also did the Property of Lunatics Bill. The Masters in Chancery Abolition Bill was read a third time and passed. The Distressed Unions (Ireland) Rill went through Committee, as also did the Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues Bill. THE LAND-TAX. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in an swer to a question by Mr. Wodehouse, relating to the subject of the inequalities in the apportionment of the land-tax, and referring particularly to the evidence given by J. Wood, Esq., the chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue. before a Committee of the House of Lords, on the subject of the burdens affecting real pro perty, in 1846, said that he did not quite understand the question of his Hon. Friend; but he believed he wished to know whether there was any prospect or possibility of obtaining a juster apportionment of the land-tax. Ho had, therefore, to inform his Hon. Friend that the ques tion whether, under the existing law, a juster apportion ment of the land-tax could be procured, was about to be ' solemnly argued before the Court of Queen's Bench. The authorities of the Tower Hamlets had procured a rule nisi, and if the proceedings were not set aside, a juster apportionment would be obtained. Considering, therefore, that the matter was under the consideration of one of the superior courts, he did not think he was justified in speculating as to what the decision might be. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA. Mr. B. CARTER b egge d to as k the Secretary for the Colonies if he had directed his attention to the subject of the assistance which might be afforded to emigration fromthis.country by obtaining th e co - o p erat i on o f th e lo ca m Legislatures in Australia in facilitating the reco very of loans advanced in England, in individual cases, for emigration purposes? Sir J. PAKINGTON fully admitted the importance of the question, and could only assure the House that his attention had been directed to the subject. He very much doubted, however, whether any legislation on the part of the local Legislatures would remove the difficul ties respecting the recovery in the colonies of money ad vanced in this country to further emigration. In many cases in which money had been advanced it had been recovered, or it had been appropriated in sending out the families of the parties. Looking, however, at the great extent of the country, and the scattered nature of ROUSE OF LORDS, June 22.

On the question that this Bill be read a third time, Colonel 6IBTHORP opposed the third reading of so important a Bill at that hour of the night—half-past twelve o'clock, and in so thin a House. All these im provements were but so many expedients to expend the public money, as in the case of the Marble Arch and the National Gallery. Lord MANNERS said it was a Bill to carry out an intention that was entertained ten yoars ago. The Bill then passed. The House went into Committee on the Excise Sum mary Proceedings Bill.
