TILE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, JUNE 15. The market was very thinly attended by farmers, and con. •equently the show of wheat was very small indeed. llolders were fair in their prices, and the sales were at figures showing a steady upward tendency. We continue to be so inundated with wet, that at this period of the season it begins to be a critical time for the growing crops. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—There has been a considerable fall of rain daring the past week, quite sufficient for the present ; the weather is cold and ungenial. Arrivals of foreign wheat continue trifling, but as our millers continue sufficiently supplied from the farmers, it, is of little consequence; the quantity of foreign used is small, and makes little impression on granaried stocks. To-day we had a fair supply of English wheat, which met very ready sale at fully the rates of last week, 39s to 40s being the current rates to the farmer. Very little doing in foreign, English weight for weight being still comparatively cheaper. Barley for feeding meets a moderate consumptive demand, which must soon in crease. The stock of peas is very trifling, and good quality command our quotations. In oats there is net much business passing, and good fresh corn would meet a market. There is a moderate business doing in linseed, fine qualities of which are rather scarce. Linseed cakes are dull, but a little business has taken place in Hull made on contract, and also in fine foreign, of which the market is nearly cleared. No rapeseed ons ale, but cakes continue in demand, as do also bones, which fetch our quotations as they arrive. The following are Cie present prices of grain:- 8. s.

VICTORIA R.—Whereas by the Act of Parliament, passed in the tenth year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Fcurth, for the relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, it is enacted that no Roman Catholic ecclesiastic, nor any member of any of the religious orders, communities, or societies of the Church of Rome, bound by monastic or religious vows, should exercise any of the rites or ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Religion, or wear the habits of his order, save within the usual places of Worship of the Roman Catholic Religion, or in private houses: And whereas it has been represented to Us, that Roman Catholic ecclesiastics, wear ing the habits of their orders, have exercised the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Religion in highways and places of public resort, with many persons in ceremonial dresses, bearing banners and objects, or symbols, of their Worship, in procession, to the great scandal and annoyance of large numbers of Oar people, and to the manifest danger of the public peace; And whereas it has been represented to Us that such vioalation of the law has been committed near places of public Worship dur ing the time of Divine Service, and in such a manner as to disturb the congregations assembled therein ; We have, therefore, thought it Our bounden duty, by and w ith the advice of Our Privy Council, to issue this Oar Royal Proclamation, solemnly warning all those whom it Inv concern, that, whilst Wo are resoved to protect Our Roman Catholic subjects in the undisturbed enjoyment of their legal rights and religions freedom, W e are d eterm i ne d t o p reven t and repress the commission of all such offences as aforesaid, whereby the offenders may draw upon themselves the punishments attending the violation of the laws, and the peace and security of Our dominions may be endangered.

A SAGACIOUS DOG.—Among those who changed their residence at the last term in this burgh was a respect able woman, well advanced in years, who left her old domi cile, and took up her quarters in a different part of the burgh. The new premises were fitted up with gas. The good woman not being proficient in the management of this " new-fangled invention," on retiring to bed, very delibe rately blew out the light, without being at the trouble . , of turning the check, imagining that there could be but little difference between the extinguished gas and the unlightened wick of a penny candle. As she slept in a different apart ment of the house, the dangerous fluid might have con tinued to escape till fatal conaequences had resulted, but for the timely warning given by a small terrier, which ran through the house whining and barking, and at last went to the bedside of its mistress, when, by pulling the blankets, and other significant manoeuvres, it succeeded in conveying its meaning in time to avert impending danger.—Elgin Courier.

We regret to hear that the committee appointed at the meeting held in Gulidhall, on 11,h December, 1849, have not succeeded in organizing the proposed soCiety, and are about to return to the subscribers the amounts placed at their disposal. The total sum subscribed was about 1,1001. It will be recollected that the idea of forming a society for the benefit of building and en gineering workciest originated with Mr. Cockerell, who had long felt the want in this country of some strong b of union and good feeling between employers and employed. We cannot say that the failure of the at tempt has caused us so much surprise as it has regret: at starting we saw reasons for believing that the issue was doubtful. We agree with the deputation of work men, that to make the society acceptable a" sick fund" was indispensable, and we think the committee should have taken the better view of human nature, and in cluded it in their scheme, even at the risk of an oc casional imposition. Care in the admission of paembers, proper regulations, and the establishment o f di s t r i c t committees might, we think, b 3 made to protect the funds sufficiently. We still look for one great and general " Builders' Provident and Benevolent Institu tion," uniting masters, men, and employ ers by ki n dly ties, and capable of supplying all the wants and neces sities to which accident, misfortune, or old age, might expose them.—Builder. Poet-office IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 15. (Continued from ou!AqfTioon Edition of yesterday.) BIAYNOOTII. Mr. KEOGH wished to know from the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire if he intended to proceed with the Maynooth order which he had managed to keep on the paper since the 21 of February.— ( Hear.) Mr. SPOON - ER said the debate was not adjourned in the first instance with his consent; but he stated last night, and he repeated now that he took the division upon the question of adjournment this morning as a division upon the main question. Mr. KEOGH hoped that the lion. Member would move that the.order be discharged. Mr. SPOONER was not prepared to take that course. Mr. KEOGH—Then the Hon. Gentleman abandons the whole concern. Mr. BOUVERIE protested against its being understood that the division on the adjournment was to be taken as a division on the main question. The SPEAKER here informed the House that there was no question before it. Mr. HAMILTON moved that the report of the Commit tee of Ways and Means be brought up. Mr. WILLIA.MS was sorry that the question had been given up, and declared his belief that the abandonment Would not satisfy the country. It was his intention to have Voted for the inquiry, as he believed it was the wish of the Ro man Catholics to have it, and he regreared that he had not had an opportunity of voting upon the main question. After a few words from Mr. ELLIOT, • Mr. HENRY HERBERT insisted that the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire ought at once to move that the order be discharged.—(Hear.) party sincerely wished to havUreihMeljsuljTeZct said,bro ugiihtthe Irishbefore the Howe again, why not koerofthde._(lleln.) delay arrange with his Hon.

He b e li eve d, h owever , th a t th e y Y 'would not make interminable speeches not for C o l one l THOMPSON was anxious to come to a bond fide decision upon this subject, as he • was pl e d ge d t o his consti tuents not to vote in opposition to the College of Maynooth. After a few words from Mr. MANGAN and Captain SCOBELL,sinthceerse; Mr. SOTHERON said the character of the House was being compromised by the manner in which this question was being carried on, and he had therefore intended last night to move that the debate be adjourned for three months, but, owing to the empty state of the benches, he abstained from doing so. He begged to give notice that in the event of the debate being resumed, he should move that amend ment.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. KEOGH defended the Irish Members from the charge of insincerity in desiring the continuance of this debate. The fact was that the insincerity was on the side of the Govern ment, and he would , with the permission of the House, show this to be the case. The Government had sent candidates to Ireland, and in many instances had supplied those candidate with money or with letters of introduction. He could mention, for instance, that the Secretary for Ireland had assisted one of the eadidates in this way, and the House might form some opinion of the sincerity of the Government when he told them that their candidates pledged them selves, as public men, to support the continuance of the Maynooth grant, and vote for the repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. A Noble Lord, a Member of this House, had been sent over to contest Dungarvon, and in his address he dis tinctly stated that he was favourable to the Maynooth grant, and opposed to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.-- (Hear, hear.) Now he wished to Lek the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland whether he had not furnished the candidate with letters of introduction—money he did not want? Again the county of Waterford was being contested by Mr. Hutchinson, who was supported by all the influence of the Govern ment, and in his first address he stated that he was in favour of the Maynooth grant, and ready to vote for the repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. This address he issued in the Mor n t e e , g but he afterwards saw a clergyman of the Established Church, and an address came out in the afternoon without the passage to which he referred.— (Hear, hear.) The fact was the Government was a mass of insincerity, and the session of 1853 would prove as unsatis factory to their misguided supporters as the session of 1852. Lord NAAS was quite willing to answer the general ques tion of the Hon. and Learned Member. The speech which they had just heard from him was only another illustration of the deadly hostility which he entertained to all Govern ments, but with regard to the accusations which it contained, ha begged to etatei that he entirely denied them.—(Hear, hear.) He had never supplied any candidates with either letters or money, while his official duties would not allow him the time to write their addresses.—(tisar.) As for the Noble Lord who was a candidate for Dungarvon, he had not the honour of his acquaintance, neither had he ever spoken to him; but, nevertheless, he must be permitted to state that he could see no inconsistency in a gentleman being a supporter of Lord Derby's Government, and yet not prepared to withdraw the Maynooth grant or vote in favour of the continuance of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.—(Hear, hear.) For his own part he should have voted for the motion of the Ron. Member for North Warwickshire, and he would take that opportunity of publicly announcing that be was not prepared without further inquiry to vote for a repeal of the Maynooth grant.—(llear, hear.) Captain CORRIE said that he left the House this morn ing upon the understanding that no vote would be taken on the main question, or he' should have remained in his seat.— (Hear, hear. ) Mr. B. OSBORNE was surprised to hear the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland taunt his Hon. and Learned Friend the Member for Athlone with being an opponent to all Governments. His Hon. and Learned' Friend was only the consistent opponent of those Governments which showed utter indifference to the wants of Ireland, and was rejoiced that Ireland had at length an advocate in that House who had the ability, the courage, and the will to make her wants known. The Noble Lord was not accused of writing the addresses of the candidates, but of wo r king upon them in an underhanded manner.—(Hear, hear.) The Government was in fact no thing but an organized hypocrisy, and that hypocrisy was nowhere so disgustingly manifested as it was at this moment in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) He appealed to the Hon. Member for North W ar wickshire to, move that the order be discharged for the sake of protecting his own reputation. ' Major BERESFORD deprecated the waste of time in curred by this Maynooth question. With regard to thenb servation of the Honourable and Gallant Member who last addressed the House, that the Go vernment were indifferent to the wants of Ireland, he could assure the House and the country that when the proper time arrived Government would be found ready and willing to redress such of the grievances in Ireland as might be proved in Parliament.--(hear, hear.) , Mr. BOUVERIE again annealed to the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire to discharge the order. Mr. SPOONER said he was satisfied with the division last night, and he did not intend to take any further steps in the matter himself.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HEYWOOD wanted to know some definite line of Ministerial po li c y on Maynooth. Mr. HEADLAU thought Mr. Spooner ought to give an answer to the question which had been put to him. Mr. SPOONER said it was not his intention to take any further step. Mr. HINDLEY observed that he moved the adjournment last night on the ground of com mon sense. The report shen received. MP FEA RGUS O'CONNOR. Sir W. JOLLIFFE nominated the following Select Com mittee on a petition respecting Feargus O'Connor, Esq. : Mr. Walpole, Mr. Vernon Smith, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Bainee, Mr. Mills, The O'Gorinan Mahon, and Mr. Morgan John O'Connell. Mr. F. FRENCH thought some disrespect had been shown to the lion. Member for St. Alban's (Mr. J. Bell) in not placing him on the Committee, for he was the only Member who bad taken an active part in this matter. Sir W. JOLLIFFE said:hie name had been omitted, as it was expected that his evidence would be of value to the Committee. MILITIA. AND O UTRAGE IN Iite:LAND. given to bring in a N ill to S ECRETARY at WAR, leave was suspend the ballot for the militia. Mr. NAPIER moved for leave to bring in a Bill to con tinue an Act of the 11th and 12th years of' her present Ma jesty for the better prevention of crime and outrage in certain parts of Ireland. He said the necessity for bringing in the Dill rested on undisputed and in- On the c controvertible facts. The Act which it proposed to i m ti o: i i E on renew for a further p eriod, was originally passed in 1847, when Ireland was in a state of disturbance, and it had since b een renewed d the by the bete Government from time en e t o time, question now was whether the circumstances at those separate periods, and the c i rcums tances as they now existed were so substan tially alike as to create a necessity for the Bill. It was easy to get up a cry against coercion and gagging Bills among those who had no actual knowledge of the provisions, but he considered that if the 13111 was looked into it would be found to be a wise and salutary measure.—( Hear, hear.) The ordinary law of the land was quite inadequate to cope with crime in Ireland at the present time. The Bill gave power to the Lord-Lieutenant, with the advice of the Privy Council, t o proclaim an .... y particular locality, and to send down an additional Police force, and in certain localities w here crime was worst, to ; Put in force the principle of th e old Saxon law of charging the locality with the cost of the con stabulary, in order to Make the inhabitants take an inte rest in the preveOsion of outrage. There was nothing coercive in a p ro vision of that sort. The Bill also applied the White boy code to those districts which were in an insurrectionary state. Thera was a l. ' ,an important provision which was or i g i na lly introduc 4 ed by the Hon. Member for Hull, making p ers ons who harb oured felons amenable to justice. The surrender Bill also enabled the Lord-Lieutenant to compel the of fire.a m s 3 in proclaimed districts, and to pre vent their being carried, except by persons properly licensed. This would put a stop to the practices of these persons, who laid in wait even in broad noon day to take the blood of in nocent menlt t he Act, which ad worked well and had was allowed to been administered without harshness and severity, expire, the House would remove the only protection against outrage and crime in Ireland, and leave both property and life in a state of insecurity. He therefore thought he was not only justified, but beund in every sense of responsibility, to ask for the renewal of the Act. He thought it would be most injudicious to permit the cessation of those proclamations or the Lord-Lieutenant which were now in force, and had never, except in one case, been asked to be revoked. It was true there was no general disturbance in Ireland, but there existed a standing confederacy, which took advantage of every grievance, and of which Englishman could have no idea; and he believed, indeed, very few understood its orga nization or r ea l nature yet. It had complete unity of action, and was proved to have extended its operation to Manchester, Birmin g ha m, Liverpool, and other large towns. It fastened itself whe rever a wrong was supposed to have been com mitted for th e purpose of redressing it ; it created such a reign of terror in the country that evidence for a prosecution could not be obtained ; and if a person did venture to give evidence he and his family were intimidated by threatening notices. So great was its influence, that even individuals of respect ability and standing were obliged to succumb to it, and hand over large sums of' money. Everything in fact was absorbed in the vortex of a great confederacy. That being so, the Government wou l d be a most unworthy one which left the country without protection from a confederacy of such mag nitude. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded by moving for leave to b • in Bill to continue the Crime and ring a Outrage Act. 11.1 r. LAWLES S having opposed the fi rs t introduction of the Crime and Outrage Act, he felt it his dil*rcegii7; pose this attempt to continue its operation. in this Bill was not fair of the Attorney-General to bring t.et of which at so late a period of the session, the eff ' Members in course of proceeding would be to keep Irish town two o r three weeks before the eml of the Perna newt, deprivi ng them of all opportun ity of addressing their • constituents bef ore t h e genera l e l e ction. He should give theca every opposition in his power. which had Mr. SCULLY w e this Parliament, ae sorry to se coercing Ireland, Was commenced in 18'47 the bystein of a lso ending it s existence in the ;Apia course of legislatio n Co . They lied it in evidence before the Crime and Outrage C ins us ittee, which had just . been s itting, that this Act had proved OA ii3t9l " 4 b l Q 4 1 14anCe in IttanY Ilt r W 'Qi Itelatitd, aid he thought i was scarcely fair that the Government should endeavour to bring in a :Bill of this na ture for districts in which crit me was gradually decreasing both in the number and qi aality of the offences, There was scarcely a quarter session sr assizes throughout the whole of Ireland, in 1851, and- in. the spring of 1852, where the judges had not dismissed tl se Juries, congratula ting them on the abse n e e o f c rime. With regard to the Ositne and Outrage Committee, he agreed that the result of its labours was to make out some sort of a case for the Go vernment as re'garded a small part of the country, but even in that Committee the Government were obliged to withdraw a motion which had originally been made to insert in their report to the House a recommendation to renew this Act. It. was, in fade an entirely party measure. The Govern ment had refused to . remove or meddle in any way with the ceases of.these evils, and it was unfair of them to he so eager to coerce the evils themselves. He would give his de termined, opposition to. this Bill, and he hoped that the Go vernment, seeing the futility of hoping to pass this Bill, would withdraw it, as they had done many others. Mr. SHARMAN . CRAWFORD said he had always op 7 posed coercive measures, and he should therefbre oppose this Bill. He believed that 'agrarian outrages sprang entirely from the disordered state of the relations between landlord and tenant, audit would be useless to attempt any measures of this sort unless they applied themselves to' remedy the causes which led to these outrages. Mr. ANSTEY considered this Bil Las entirely useless. It would not touch the evils against which it was directed. The only persons who would obey the Bill.when it passed into law would be those who were already loyal subjects, and those who were not loyal subjects would neither obey nor be coerced by this law. It was a milk-and-water, Seless mea sure.—(Divide, divide.) Hearing that crY, he should cer tainly move that the debate be adjourned. The g,allery was then cleared for a division, bat none took place. On returning to the gallery - we found" ' Mr. KEOGH opposing the Bill on the ground that it was crhel and tyrannical, and no longer necessary; from the. de crease. of crime in Ireland. It had been proved before, the :Committee that the crimes were'confined to a small area of about 10 miles, and yet they were now, called on, for this reason only, to inflict a Bill of this nature on, the whole of Ireland. Yet, even in this district the testimony of the chief witness (Mr. Major) called by the Government showed• that this. Act lead always. been perfectly abortive, ant. had no effect whatever on any but loyal and peaceful subjects. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he.con sidered this Bill was not one of coercion, but a measure of police. There were at present in the gaols of Ireland a great number of Orisoners under this Act, who, if it were not re newed, would be free to-morrow. Her Majesty's Govern ment were prepared at this moment to introduce remedial measures for Ireland, but they could not do that if they neglected to insure the state of order and tranquillity which it was necessary to foster, or if they gave a triumph to those who flagrantly violated not only the law of 'the coun try, but also the principles on which the civilization of every country depended. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman had first called this Bill tyrannical, and next cited evidence to prove that it was futile. To show the utter nullity of the Act the Hon. and Learned Gentleman bad quoted part of the evidence of Mr. Major, but if he went a little further into the evidence' given by that gentleman, whs had been extolled, and justly, as being a very eminent authority on the subject, he would find that his evidence was in favour of anything but a less restrictive power. He would find that that gentleman was in favour of a more extended system of domiciliary' visits, that he spoke of the beneficial effects of the In surrection Act—though he acknowledged that he would be slow to recommend the renewal of that Act, supposing that some efficient alteration were made in the law. The Government, in the present state of affairs, could not take upon themselves the responsibility of allow ing this Bill suddenly to cease, and of letting loose upon the country those who were criminals only under its operation. The sentiments of the Government with respect to Ireland were those which they had always attempted to express out Of office • their policy with regard to that country would be a policy Which would attempt to develope the resources of the country, but they felt that they had no chance of accom plishing this unless they took every measure in their power to ensure the tranquillity of the country and vindicate the majesty of the law. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion ... 140 Against it ... Majority ... Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. The Sheriffs of London appeared at the bar of the House, to present a petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Councilmen of London, praying for an alteration in the oath taken by Members of Parliament, and for the abolition of all religious tests ; also another petition praying the House to pass a general measure for the whole metropolis to restrain the smoke nuisance. -121 The House then adjourned at Ten minutes to Five anti; Seven o'clOck. The sitting was resumed at Seven o'clock. Petitions were presented by. Mr. Lana from the Pro testant women of Camberwell, praying for an inspection of nunneries; 'by Lord LEWISHAM, from Wolverhamp ton, for repeal of the attorneys' certificate duty. " Mr. HUME moved for returns giving an account of the manner in which ahe sum of 3531. 17s. ld., charged in the civil contingencies for 1850, and the sum of 819/. 35., charged in the civil contingencies of 1851, were ex pended, under the several heads, for the funeral of the the late Duke of Cambridge ; returns showing the nature of losses sustained by Sir R. Sandford, at the Cape of Good Hope, for which 5,000/. was paid from the civil contingencies of 1851; returns or accounts of the parti culars of the slim of 3,612/. 78. 9d., paid as costa' and expenses on account of the Smithfield-market Removal Bill, charged in the civil contingencies of 1851; of the particulars of 7,000/, charged on account of bills of cods astolicitor to the Attorney-General in lists ro• lating to charities in the civil contingencies of 1851; and of the particulars of the manner in which 2,000/ was expended in Ireland in obtaining statistical information relative to the agricultural produce of Ireland; and copy of the order under which the inquiry' was con ducted, and an abstract of the information collected. Agreed to. On the motion of Mr. HUME copies or extracts of the correspondence were ordered relative to a treaty ne gotiated.with the Sultan of Sooloo; also copy of the said treaty, and of any papers explaining why the ratifica tions of the same were not duly exchanged; and of all papers relative to the late capture of the Islands of Soo too by the Spanish forces, and of the annexation of that territory to the Spanish Crown. DR. REID AND THE VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE. Mr. HINDLEY asked the Chief Commissioner of Works what course the Government intended to pursue in reference. to the report and recommendation of the Committee on the Ventilation and Lighting of the House; and whether Dr. Reid was to be restored to the position he occupied before 1846, and to have the clierge of ventilating and lighting the .House and its appurte nances; under the supervision of the Chief Commissioner of Works,. assisted by a Committee of observation, to be appointed' annually by the House,in order to repo rt .their opinion as to the way in which the li:tam:gement is conducted? • Lerd 3: MANNERS said that , in the opinion of the Government, .the recommendation o f the S el ect Corn • mittee was a very wise and prude n t one, and there wa s every disposition. on the part of the Government to carry it into effect. In answer to the seeth] quest i on , which referred‘to the competent person alluded to in the recoMinendation of the 'Select' C o mmittee, at present he Was not in a position to say who that competent person, in the opinion of the Government, Was likely to be. At the same . time he could not sit down without ex pressing his individual opinion, that the system of venti lation suggested by Dr. Reid had not received that amount of fair play whic h would enable it to be properly judged of.--(llcar, hear.) He did not wish it to be understood tnat he was now expressing more than an individual opinion; but it would be unjust to Dr. Reid if ho sat down Without orpre'Lsing that opi n i on on hi s behalf.' - `:MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.

ANSTEY rose to move the following resolu tion, of which he had given notice :—" That this House recognising the undoubted right of the Queen's subjects resident in foreign countries to the continual protection of her Majesty, in respect of their liberty, property, and other personal rights, and, considering that, in the case of the Rev. Messrs. Wingate, Smith, and Edwards, ar bitrarily expelled from the Austrian dominions in the month of January last, with their wives and children, under circumstances involving much sacrifice of property and other hardships to the sufferers, those rights were violated, and that no redress has been hitherto ob tained for the violation, is of opinion that the . case is one calling for prompt and earuest measures on the part of her Majesty's Government." He understood it was the intention of the Government to take measures for putting a summary atop to discussions upon the case, but if they did resort to a count out, be was sure they would feel the consequences at no distant period. Not two years ago the House had been called upon to record their votes against a most un-English resolution adopted in another place on the occasion of the Greek claims, the mover of that resolution heir) , the Noble Lord now at the head of the Government, and on the 15th of March last, soon after Lord Malmesbury, to the misfor tune of this country, was installed in office, his Lordship informed Count Buol that he highly valued the friendly feeling expressed by Prince Schwarz3nberg OD the part of Austria towards this country. At that time Lord Malmesbury was fully aware of the facts which ho cefee Anstey) was about to bring before the House. n e Government were making a premature and inde eent at_ tempt in order to prevent his doing do, but," while the issue would be indifferent to him, it would redound only to the discredit of her Majesty's Ministers, M:cirs.

Christmas-day Mr. Edwards received a peremptory no tice to leave Lemberg. His wife at the time was within four weeks of her confinement; there were other.ehildren in the'. family; eindin a most irelewent season of the year they were told that within six days they must travel 500 miles, 'and that if they did not set out force would be used. - Mr. Edwards proceeded to Vienna and saw our ambassador, the Earl of Westmorland (who-re ceived a princely income for doing nothing), but he re fused to interfere. L was not without great difficulty that this unfortunate gent/man was able to get back to Lemberg at all, to escort' his sick family and his wife to the frontiers of Prussia; and they had no stoner crossed the frontiers, after a journey of no ordinary length and severity, than Mrs. Edwards gave birth to a dead child. That was the case of Mr. Edwards; and to this day no ex 6 planation had been given of the se n t ence aga i nst him— an illegal sentence, because it was the effect of a single mandate issued by the cointnand of Prince Schwarzen berg, who was now answerable elsewhere for the-deeds done in ".the flesh. Messrs. Smith and , Wingate, on the sth of Jantiary following, received a notice to quit' the Austrian dominions within five days. They too, appealed but in vain, to the English Legation, and to the tender mercies of the Austrians. The common- precautions which humanity might have suggested' to mitigate their lot was' denied them. When Mr. Wingate (whose youngestehild was in danger of death) asked permission of the militar y Governor of -Hungary than the child' s nurse shculd be' allowed to accompany them, he was flatly refused. The order went forth that no one should be permitted to attend them, and it was only at half 'past twelve at night, at a ball where the military Gover nor of Pesth was present, 'that Mr. Wingate was able to obtain • permission for A journey which was: to :b'egin' at the dawn of day. - In all those cases no reasons for the expulsion had been so much as hinted at; and opportunities of explanation' were denied `theta. • Neitherlhe Earl of Westmorland nor his em bassy did` What was their duty; .bat at the, time they were in Vienna the Americau Athbassador, when the Earl of Westmorland would do nothing for them, gene rously placed his purse and his House at the disposal of theee diatressuld then.

Vete% Grotins, and • others laid it down, that duo notice should always be given to one na-' den' of the abolition of any custom in another. But here notice was given, and there was a forced sale of their goods; and yet Lord Malmesbury said they had no right to expect any redress. The final letter of his Lord ship stated, that the reply of the Austrian Government was-- An HON. MEMBER hero moved that the House be counted; and, it being found that only thirty-seven Mem bers were present. the House stood, adjourned, at a Quarter to Eight, to Twelve o'clock this day.

The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from the Cor poration of London, praying for an alteration of the oaths taken by Members of Parliament. BURGHS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. THE MILITIA BILL. - - - The Earl of DERBY said he rose for the purpose of mov ing the second reading of this Bill, the importance of which would not be denied by their Lordships. It had already re ceived the assent of the other House of Parliament, after long and persevering discussions, by overwhelming majo rities, both with regard to the principle and all the details, It, was a Bill for re-organizing and placing in a state of com parative efficiency the ancient constitutional militia force of the country, and he hardly entertained a doubt that the principle of the Bill, at all events, would meet with the unanimous concurrence of their Lordships.-(Hear, bear.) In the first place there was an universal consent on all sides, that for the more efficient defence of the country an increase of the disposable force of the kingdom was, necessary, and accordingly her Majesty's Government received the assent of the ether House of Parliament to a resolution allowing them to bring in a Bill to re-organize the militia. If he were - asked whether he grounded his reasons for bringing in this Bill on any immediate apprehensions of attack from foreign powers, he should distinctly answer that he did not. Neither did he rest it upon any apprehension of any personal hostile feelings of the Prince President of France, but, he could not shut his eyes to the numerous changes of Government which had ; taken place in Fiance, to the large class of persons in that country adverse to the cause of order and tranquillity, and actuated by a feeling of consi derable hostility to this country, and he fait that it would be the height of folly and madness to wait for a contingency, however remote, of this country being exposed for the first time for centuries to the danger of a hostile invasion. The Noble Lord then continued.—My . Lords, when the proposition of the late Government was brought before the House of Commons, although there was .a great ac quiesence in the necessity for - increasing our military force, and for the establishment of a militia force, a dif ference prevailed in that House to which I 'will not fur ther allude.—(Hear.) I do not wish to advert to cir cumstances which might be painful to the feelings of any Noble'Lord.—(lle.ar.) But a difference cf opinion prevailed in that House which negatived the specific plan of her Majesty's late Government for providing a local militia force, and which passed a resolution de claring that it was necessary to introduce a measure for a general militia, or rather for amending and consoli dating the law which regulated the • regular militia of this country. Thus we arrive step by step, first, that ail parties have agreed 'that our existing means of de fence are insufficient. Next, they have agreed that a militia force was absolutely necessary, and ought to be raised. Thirdly, that they entertain an opinion that a militia force should not to be local but general in its cha racter, in accordance with former laws upon this subject. That was the position in which affairs stood when we were called to take a part in her Majesty's Government. We took that part in a period of some difficulty. We were much pressed with regard to the pleasures which wo would think .it necessary for the service of the country. to pass previous to the period anticipated by till, namely, the dissolution of Parliament, and desired by none more than those who wore charged with the administration of her Majesty's Government. Wo were quite convinced of the necessity for a dissolution of Par liament as early a period as was consistent with the public interest and with the safety of the country. It is undoubtedly true that we might, had we been so dis posed, have declared that we were not bound by any obligations incurred by our piedecessors, or by Bills which our predecessors had introduced. We might have' said that we were not responsible for the position in which we found the country,,nor for the judgnaent which pronounced that a militia force was necessary. By taking that course we might have saved ourselves a considerable amount of difficulty and obloquy, We might have pro veuted risking the popularity of the Administration in the country at largo. Because we were told that this Mi litia Bill, and, indeed, any Militia Bill, was objected to on various grounds by a very largo proportion of the population. Objections were taken to it on various and very different grounds, and there was au appearance, at least, of a very considerable resistance to any such burden being inflicted upon the country as , would be imposed by this Bill. But, my Lords, we felt that we were not at liberty to enter upon any such personal consi derations.—(Hear, hear.) Wo did believe that our pre decessors were right in their judgment, that the estab lishment of such a militia force was indispensable for the security of this country against aggression, and im pressed with that -opinion 1 took the liberty of pro nouncing that whatever other measure might be thrown overboard, this was one of those measures to which we thought it indispensable to obtain the sanction of Par liament previous to a general appeal to the country con sequent upon a dissolution of Parliament. I will add further, that I thought it a matter of considerable be portance that no delay should take place in pushing this measure through its various stages, so that a militia force might at once bo organised. This has been a subject of anxious deliberation on the part of those charged with the Government of this country. Periods have recurred—it so happened in 1845 and again in 1848—in which some immediate anticipated difficulty suddenly called the attention of this country to our want of means to meet the exigencies of the occasion. Hasty propositions were made; but from whatever motive, whether to avoid Parliamentary Ells.' utbeimm,edainadtenadaanteg:or wwaesri3apassed oevesrsi°il' as soon a the manor wa s s forgotten to avoid the r ecurrence of similar dangers. state of things I saw, and expressed that I foresaw, ta t k h en t a se rious dangers and inconvenience likely to arise.

But then it has been said. if this ho tbetnase, why do you •propose a militia force? • Why do you not propose an increase of from ten to twenty-thousand men in your army? Ten thousand Britith troop are more effective and more economical than fifty thousand militiamen. I must take the li berty of adapting that declarstion tinder some qualifica tions. I speak with .great deference in presence of the • highest authority' upon such subjects; bat in the first piece, as regards expenditure, I think 'it would be easy to shove- that. 101000 regular troops would be less effi cient for- the•purposes for which the; force is to be raised 'and more expensive, than 50,000 militiamen. I think it very probable that my Noble Friend the Gallant - duke, if 'entering upon a protracted campaign, or about to tighva pitched battle on which the fate of an empire migut depend, aed which waa to be tested by discipline, severe pressure, coolness under. fire, firmness and sol dier,like qualities, would prefer a body of 10,0000 re- • guise troops - tone - body of 50,000 half-disciplined militia- mene-e(Cear, hear.) But in the case of a sudden inva sion of this country, and not for the purpose of keeping on a permanent force; what would be required would not be so much organization and discipline as that in which the regular army, would undoubtedly be deficient, else numbers and masses,_(Hear,) I believe it has been , stated, over and over again, that the utmost amount of the regular army which at this moment could be drawn t _ together for the defence of the country--setting aside the troops in Ireland —would not exceed about 24,000 men; which, it the 8,000 enrolled pensioners were added, would give a total force of about 32,000 men in all for the defence of the country against such an array as I hare alluded tot This calculation, it must be ob serve d, produede upon the assumption that yeti with draw every man from every - garrison and fortified place in the country.. All these ploces;logether with the ship. ping stores, would be therefore absolutelY left without men to defend them, • end` npoa• the most moderate scale, the whole 'of that 32,000, including the 8,000 enrolled pensioners; would not be•more than s t ufficient to garrison and protect these fortified placea.—(Hear, hear.) Add;' therefore, 10,000 men to-the regular force of the coon-. , try; and, in the ease %%Inch I am supposing, the 30,000 men being required for the defence of thegarrison, your whole available array *Mild then not exceed 10,000 men, with about . 4:000 cavalry. Instead, therefore, of having only 10,000 men availableefor. an emergency of this kind, we propose under this Bill to have 80,000 • militia men; 25,000 of these militia men will be able to perform the garrison duty, assisted by a comparatively smell portion of the regular tunny. It is not too mach to suppose that 30,000 militia men will be able to set free from the general service of the country from 20,000 , 'to 25,000'0nt of 30,000 regular troops, which now con stitutes the whole of your defending force, and beyond that you will still retain from 40,000 to 50,000 of the minas, to co-operate with the 20,000 or 25,000 regular troops whom you have thus relieved from garrison duty. • By this arrangement, instead of an army of 10,0 00 , regular troops free to act in the field, which you would possess by adding that number of men to the present force, you will have from 20.000 ''to 25,000 re gular troops - assisted and supported their ser' vices- in -that respect would be invaluable—by that force co-operating with' • the 40,000 or 50,000 militia men, the defence of the garriSons and arsenals being at. the same time fully provided for.—(Hear.) I have now stated the grouhds upon Which - ber Majesty'a Govern" spent —not underval u i ng t h e great advantages of disci pline, nor pretending- to 'compare the individual militia , man with the individual soldier-estill prefer, for the defence of the country alone, a large increase in the militia, to a comparatively - entail' augmentation of the , army: • Variounother • reasons might be adduced which would lead to the same conclusion. For instance, an , augmentation of the regular army, undertaken et_ ~. a time ot im me di ate pressure, would hail to a constant t re-opening of a vexed question 'in the House of Com mons, for the purpose of reducing the force so soon nit the immediate emergency might appear to have passel away In addition' - to this; althouh—undoubtedly, not a point whi c h oug ht to s t e p y o u in t h e cons id erat ion of the question if the 'circumstan ces requ i re d it—by the, establishment of a militia force you indicate to all foreign powers that year Motives are phrely, strictly, and exclusively defensive, an augmentation of the naval forces or of the regular army, they being instruments of offensive as well as of defensive warfare, may naturally suggest to foreign nations the propriety of in creasing thcir own forces in a corresponding degree. But when you melte an augmentation of these troops whose services are not fitted for foreign warfare, and which must be.strictly limited to"the defence of our own shores, you state in language unmistakeable to foreign countries, that your intentions are pacific, and that your policy is a perfectly defensive one.—(Hear, hear.) We now come to the particular mode in which we propose • to carry into effect, with various amendments, the estab lished law of this country Kith respect to the nsilitil- Ltt me remind your Lordships, betore I go further, that that law is absolutely and strictly the law of the country, and that without an Act passed in each successive year, the Crown has the power,.elthough it may have the der tire of dispensing with its • exercise t. of calling oat a Militia force u n d er the ballot, as it existed in the' Act l 80:. I do not wish to enter 'into any invidious 'CO,OI - isons of the measure which we propose with that ere posed by the- late Government, and I have still less in clinatioe to do so, because the Noble Lord late at the Lead of the Administration made no , difficulty in com municating to- me p r i vate l y an d persona ll y the 1 3 " t which he stated it had been his intention to ()gat to, the consideration Of Parliament, and I therefore f ee ' dotibly Unwilling to enter • into any possible corn' nstnts upon: the points of differince in the two roc:, sures. At- en, Berne time' 'May be .-permitt a . to state that although the. Bill introduced V the late Government was nominally one for eststlishing a heat militia, yet that in two most important purlieu' tars it so fur deviated from that character which b v . ° usually affix to the term of a local militi a , as to cons l P Lute a considerable difference between that , Bill and the wait which I now su b m it. B ecause while tho term lunni militia conveys the idea of a force not only ieca ll Y , trained, but qualified and called upon to act only its own immediete locality, yet the Noble Lord who to troduced•the previous• measure stated that it was a , matter of the utmost importance that a force should be provided which • should .Iso eppliceble to service in any • mightpart of ie t i te c i u ll ire n excluded the admission of substitutes, and reqeired al! d it ; ed and K t i t u ni g et ul as a in lol v a h l i° m h ili i t ts ia S e e l r r e i e t l e n 6 persons r ballotred•foto servo - in person, the Noble Lord and his colleagues felt so strongly the inconvenience' and hardship et such a provision that he announced his . intention of departing from that principle of the loot militia, and placing it in this respect upon the saute footing as the general militia. With respect to the numbers proposed to 'be raised, T d, hoie there is no measures. , difference between the twoi s ; how ier, one difference to Which it is' necessary to direct attention—the Act of 1802 (42d George III.) readored liable eo the ballot, and consequently to service in t he • militia,all persons not entitled to claim exemption be- tween the ages of 18 an d 45.
