MP 2' RIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, June 29. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his E'i'fit on the Wool at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. cord MOSTEA.LE presented petitions assainst the acs ssiastical Titles Bid, and in favour of tenant right. The Earl of RODEN presented a great number of petitions from various parts of Ireland against the May lloOtil 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 esnell amount be extewled to these courts. The Noble Id Learned Lord then proceeded to pass a high eulogium the working of the county court system since its first ,stitution, and ta, take a review of the amount of busi • .ess transacted by these courts, expressing his opinion that the effect of the system had been to improve our principles of jurisprudence. Oee instance of the im provement which they caused was the alteration of the isav of evidence which had been imported from the county sesurte and sprieging from the Bill which h a d j es t p asse d House with regard to corrupt practices at elections, .ight also be said to be entirely attributable to the :unty court system—the only practicable Bill, in fact, n this subject which had been carried through Parlia .nent 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 be called to give information of every fact which he 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 be 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 ..;ent, or the person whom he had bribed, and for the at of his life, so long as he had a guinea, it w ould be g e to his agent or th e rece i ver o f t h e b r ibe, because hi s i :. - .racter would be in the hands of those perions. It e well that the community at large should know the ct of that Act, Returning to the subject of county )urts, he had to remind their Lord hips that they had new experience of these courts for the last six year s, an d with respect to 60 different courts. H e sh ould like to see a commission issued for inquiring into all the mat ters connected with them, for he was sure th a t b y t h e examination of practitioners a nd learned judges, many valuable suggestions and amendments might be obtained, and that the result would be the putting of them on a complete, permanent, and satisfactory basis. On the subject of costs these courts had been established on art erroneous principle. The salaries of the judges, 60,0001. a year, were paid by the suitor; the sararies of their clerks, 76,0001., a year were paid by the suitor; the bailiffs, 27,0001. (Ixclusive of the fees for executing process after judgment) were also paid by the suitor. In all, 163,0001. was paid in feet by the suitors for the salaries of the officers of these courts. That was not the w ,, y i n which justice ought to be distributed to the subject. It was part of the contract between the ruler and the subject —it was in fact, the condition on which the subject owed allegiance, that he should have justice from the ruler, and there could be no more manifest exception to that sacred rule than to make the subject pay for having justice administered to him. In the pre sent case it was not the community, but only a part of the community—the suitors—who paid these salaries of the effieers of justice. In addition to 163,0001. there Was a sum of 47,0001. levied for the purposes of building courthouses, paying for land, and other expenses for coust-honses all over the country. The injustice of this tax would be shown by the fact, that a Middlesex suitor would be taxed for a court-house, not in Middlesex, where there was already a court-house, but for a court house in Yorkshire, with which county he had no con nexion. Nothing could be conceived more monstrous than such a system. This was a gross; glaring, crying injustice, and apt illustration of the ab surdity of the mode in which justice was administered to suitors in these costs.—(Hear, hear.) In causes between 51. and 20/, the fees were 3/. 1l*: Bd., making an average of one-sixth of the debt. Ia short, whose system of fees required consideration. He could not take leave of this important subject without etking a queetion cn another equally important subject. fie refeered to the Commission of 1844, and the digests relative to crimes and punishments and criminal proce dure. The former was complete, but the latter was im perfect. Ne less a sum than 50,000/. had been expended, of which 40 000/. had been expended on the criminal di gest; an-d ;or want of an expenditure of about 2,0001. inure the whole of the expenditure of about 40,000/. for he criminal digest was rendered of little comparative value. Ha never knew an instance of worse economy than this. He blamed no one for what had occurred, but he begged to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Mi nistry to direct the attention of Government to this im p ortant matter, and to give the country a complete con solidation and a digest of the criminal law. The Earl of DERBY need hardly say that the subject referred to by his Noble and Learned Friend was worthy to engage the attention of every Government, and that all parties ought to be prepared to co-operate in the contemplated reforms. His Noble and Learned Friend was aware, with regard to the circumstances under which the present Government entered upon office, and the ordinary Parliamentary affairs, that their attention was exclusively directed to the current business of the ession. But he could assure the Noble and Learned Lord the subject should not be lost sight of, and that the earliest attention should be given to it. If the dissolu tion was as near as his Noble and Learned Friend sup posed, and if during the recess that repose should occur which Government might be supposed then to enjoy— (Laughter) —the subject of a digest of crimial law should certainly have due con s id erat i on . Lord BROUGHAM intimated that he would not move tha second reading of the Bill, in consideration of the assurances given by Government that the subject should have attention. The Metropolitan Burials Bill was read a third time, after some amendments and remarks by the Bishop of LONDON, which did not reach the gallery. The Earl of PO WIS moved for a statement of the es timated amount of to!1 which mail coaches, mail carts, aed horse posts would ba liable to pay on each turnpike trust if not exempted by the General Turnpike Acts; al3o, a return of the amount of aid contributed by parishes to turnpike trusts in England and Wales, in each year from 1848 b 1831, both inclusive; and, also, a return of the several routes travelled by mail carriages drawn by more than one horse; stating the termini - tend length of each of such routes, and the number of horses drawing such carriages. The Earl of ST. GERMANS trusted that the Noble Earl would make more impression on the Postmaster- General than he (the E iri of St. Germans) had done on the late head of the Post-office, in respect to a similar object. The Earl of HARDWICKE had no objection to the returns moved tor. He could not, however, give a de cided opinion as to the measure of the Government; but ha did nut feel disposed to give up any of those rights which the Crown possessed, as far as he was concerned. £lO felt very mach f.. 11 the turnpike trusts, but if the public chose to abandon the mail coaches, it might be a question ope n to discussion, whether the mail should not be carried in carts. As regarded railways, the Crown had a right to run trains fur the service of the pub lic; add it would no doubt do so if the pressure of the railway companies in respect to the mails became in tolerable. The returns Were then ordered. The Bishop of OXFORD presented a petition from rle Cape of Good. 1.1 — O P, numerously s i gne d by D utc h ;arees, in reference to 11r. Montagne, the Secretary of Clio Council. Twe ire o'clockeir. Lords to-hipmorrow a then adjourned until H a lf-p as (Wednesday). HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 29. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) 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 havirg presented a memorial.to the Right Hon. Gentlemen the Chancellor cf the Exchequer on this subject, he begged no w to pro test aglinst the minut e b e i ng res cinded against the voice of tafo majorities of th a t H ouse . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sa i d that he had y es t er d ay rece i ve d a memorial, sign e d b y all the most eminent coffee d,-alers of the metropolis, i n fatour of the rescinding of the minute. The minut e 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 the eountry interested in the question, and more particularly ~- the growers of chicory, whose claims he considered to be of more importance than those represented by the Hon. Member opposite, and who he believed were in tavour of the rescinding of the minute. Mr. HUME thought it would be much better to allow this question to be deci , led by the new Parliament. Colonel THOMPSON said that hearing the sound of chicory, ho begird to say that he had a memorial in his pocket which he meant to present to the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, from 100 of the grocers of Bradford, on this subject. He had not Vhought that there were so many grocers in the town, but ha thought their unanimity on the question was no Mall argument. The motion for adjournment was then agreed to.

CONSOLIDATED FUND APPROPRIATION BILL. On the motion tor the third reading of this Bill, Lord BROUGHAM took occasion to point out the inquiries which he thought the Committee appointed to investigate the working of the county courts ought to pursue. The Noble Lord repeated the eulogium which he had passed last night on the system, and also ad verted to the efforts which have been made for a revision of the criminal code. He suggested the Commission to inquiie should be based on the Chancery Commission. After a few words from the Marquis of SALISBURY, the Bill was read a third time and passed. Their L3rdships then adjourned during pleasure. The House resumed at a Quarter to Four, and a mes sage was received from the House of Commons, inform ing their Lordships that the Commons disagreed to the Lords' amendment on the Improvement of the Jurisdic tion in Equity Bill. Lord COLCHESTER moved that their Lordships do not persist in their amendment, which was agreed to. Several other messages were received, and their Lord ships adjourned at Four o'clock. ALGERIA. TURKEY. The des Debats says : iis in negotiation with the Porte for the con s t ruct i on o f a ra il way from B elgra d e to Constantinopl e . an d it wou ld seem w i t h a proba bility of succe ss . E ng li sh eng i neers have examined An J E ou o r g u i al comp the ground, and found the Balkan a passage which would necessitate some works of art of little importance. The The company will undertake to finish the line in five years, and as the railway from Vienna to Belgrade is alreay far advtsticod, Constantinle would then be only five o d r six clays' journey from Vi o en p na. The financial situation appears in a favourable position. A combination has been devised which would permit several banking-houses of Europe to advance the back of Con stantinople on good securities from 30 to 40 millions of francs." STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TIIEISDAT.—A. decline of c. per lb in the price of cotton, at New York, is quoted to the 16th inst. In the southern markets, however, busi ness was active at full rates. The total receipts were 2,915,386 bales, against 2,239,792 last year. The growing crop is reported to have escaped: injury from the late rains and floods, and it promises as well as at any previous date. Yesterday and today the Liverpool market has been inanimate, but without any change in prices. By the Overland Mail we have advices from Calcutta to the 11th of May, and from Bombay to the 22d. The Calcutta market was still depressed as regards piece goods. The advices from the provinces were by no means encouraging. Mule twist was selling ra ther more freely, but prices remained unimproved. The rate of exchange was tending slightly upward. We regret to find it stated in a private letter to a firm in this town, and by a communication to Lloyd's, that, just as the Calcutta mail was made up, there oc curred a hurricane which the former describes as most destructive to shipping in the Hoogbly and to build ings in the town ; the latter, however, does not ap pear to represent the disaster as of so serious a cha racter. Tne state of trade at Bombay was dull, partly from the south-western monsoon being near at hand, and partly in consequence of heavy imports. Ex change was rather higher than at the previous date. The American and the Eastern advices have jointly contributed to a continuance of quietness in business at large. The home and foreign buyers of yarns have endeavoured to obtain what they wanted on somewhat more advantageous terms than spinners would agree to last week ; and partially they have been able to do so for some kinds of warps and bundles. There is, however, very little change ; and, on the whole, the tone of the market is firm. In goods there is scarcely any alteration to notice. The makers of the better qualities of 50-inch shirtings have experienced rather more inquiry, apparently for export to China. There continues to be a good demand for -I printers from 41b. upwards, and also for 9-8, which causes them still to harden in value. Our cloths continue much in the same ttate as last week. ROCHDALE, MoNDAT.—Pieces have bad a ready sale at previous prices; but those manufacturers who have stood out fur an advance in order to meet the late advance in wool have not been very successful. Wool is firm, and there is a fair demand for it. HALIFAX, SATUEDAY.—The manufacturers are asking, and on some sorts of goods are obtaining, rather better prices ; but the demand is far from active, both in our piece hall and in the warehouses. The ad vances on yarn noticed in our last have tended to limit the transactions ; and, with the present high price of wool, the spinners cannot obtain a remune ration for capital and labour. There is not much old wool in the market, and the sales are not so nume rous. but the quotations are remarkably firm, and the rates asked by the farmers for the new clip con siderably exceed those likely to be realised here. H.HDDHILiFIELD, TUESDAY.-0111* market has been flat to-day ; not many buyers in the tows, and business dull in the cloth ball. A few parcels of mixtures and clouded goods have been purchased for the Home market. Merchants and shippers com plain of the dulness of trade. The wool market is very quiet ; manufacturers will not give the advance that is asked by the importers of the raw material. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

Sir W. JOLLIFFE said negotiations were still pend ing on this subject, but it was not considered prudent to lay the papers on the table. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Four o'clock till ;[alt-past One tomorrow. By the Pharamond, just arrived at Marseilles, the following accounts have been received from Bona, giving details of events which have taken place in that province since the 7th instant : " On the 7th the battalion, commanded by Colonel Du marcay, of the 10th Regiment of the Line, left Ghelma h with the pahis o f C a p ta i n L orox . Th ese position betw een t h e O ue d B oucs d e an d line occupi e d by t h e re b e l s, i n or d er to troopste Oued took squadron a p d Alice, a r o a n of position be able on the following day to affect a junction with the column coming from Coastantia. During the whole of the Bth a firing was kept up between the skirmishers and e Arabs. belatter Seeing that the French kept themselves defensive attacked them, but were re ceived with a sharp fire of mus k etry, wh i ch killed a great number of thrm. T a ki ng advantage of a favour- t favour able moment, the spahis, two squadrons of the African chasseurs, and the gown made a charge, cutting down all who had escaped the fire of the infantry, and the field of battle was covered with the slain of the enemy. The French had only one killed, and a very few wounded, among whom was Surgeon )Major Prieur, of the African Chasseurs, who was struck by a ball in the head, from the effect of which he died some days after. "On the 9th the combat was renewed. Some pieces of mountain artillery which had arrived from Bona wore brought into play, but the Arabs could not be driven from their position, and the French troops were compelled to keep on the defensive until the arrival of the expected reinforcements. On the 10th the 1,000 men from Algiers arrived at Ghemla, and advanced to reinforce Colonel Dumarcay. Oa the 13th that officer, with 1,400 men in light marching order, left Ana Sonde, and by a skilful manceavre surprised a fraction of the rebels, who had taken refuge with their wives, their children, their cattle, and their most valuable effects in the mountains of the Mechalas, rocks almost inaccessible, the summits of which they de fended. The columns carried this position without the loss of a man. Mere than 150 of the Arabs were killed; only a very few were able to effect their escape. All the cattle was taken and sent to Ghelma. More than 3,000 head of cattle bad arrived there, and every soldier had ob tained considerable booty. This first lesson has produced a good result; several tribes have since demanded the amen, which has been rernsed to them. Oa the 17th, el. Mesmer, of the Arab Bureau, with the Caid Ali and his goum, made a razzia in the gorges of the Oued Allia, where he seized on several flocks belonging to the insurgents, and drove them t o Gh e l ma . O n th e 13:h the neui-Sai3bB, whose territory lies about six leagues from the French position, broke out into revolt, and threatened en attack on the colonists at Barrel. Captain Mesmer left with 60 or 70 horsemen to their support. The Caid Karoly, with his goum, was blocked up by the insurgents in the Maison Blanche, in the middle of the Beni.Salahs. Captain Mesmer succeeded in releasing him, and on his return was fired at by an Arab who was !yi n _ g in ambush among the trees, and shot through the lungs. He died on the following day. The Arab was pursued and shot, and turned out to be a man who bad been in the habit of coming every day to the Arab bureau, where he was treated very kindly. A re port was current that Calle had been attacked, and fifty men a ere embarked on board a steamer and dispatched to that place. Barrel was attacked by the Beni-Salahs on the 20th, but at the period of the departure of the courier from Bong on the 21st, no details of the affair had been received."

MATIHER. The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a copy of the correspondence which had taken place with refe rence to the case of Mr. Mather, and, in doing so, said he had great satisfaction in intimating that the diffe rences with the Court of Tuscany had been brought to an amicable termination. This fortunate result was owing to the eminent ability of Sir Henry Bulwer, who, with his usual talent, had secured the confidence and goodwill of the Tuscan Government, and at the same time obtained a full and explicit recog nition of the principle which bad been insisted upon by the British Government—namely, a liability on the part of the Tuscan Government to give protection to all British subjects, in accordance with the international law which was recognised by independent states. The Noble Earl concluded by passing a high elogium upon Sir Henry Bulwer, in conse quence of whose exertions, he said, the relations between the two countries were now more completely friendly than they had been at any future period. ANCIIeNT LAWS OF IRELAND. Lord NIONTEA.GLE moved for a copy of the report of Commissioners appointed by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland to inquire, into the ancient laws and institutes of Ireland. After a few words from the Earl of DERBY, who said he was not aware of the existence of such a report, the motion was wi , hdrawn. BUSINESS OF THE SESSION. Lord LYNDHURST took a brief review of the busi ness of the session, and thanked the Government for the firmness with which they had resisted the clamour that was raised out of doors for a dissolution of Parli a ment soon after they came Into office. The delay which had taken place before the prortgation had turned out to be of the greatest benefit to the country, for measures of a far more valuable and important character had been passed in the present session than had been passed for many previous years. He therefore thought the present Government were entitled to the grateful thanks of the country. Lord BEAUMONT denied that the credit of passing the Bills referred to was mainly due to the present Government. The credit should rather be given to the moderation of the majority of the other House, and to the assistance afforded by the Opposition in that and the other House to the Government in enabling them to get through the business that was brought forward. He thought that in consequence of the haste with which some of the measures had been passed they would be found to be very imperfect when put into operation. After a few words from Lord Brougham, Lord Beau mont, Lord Lyndhurst, and Earl Grey, The Earl of DERBY expressed his grateful thanks to the Noble and Learned Lord for the testimony which he had borne to the course of proceeding adopted by the Government during the present ses sion. Be should, however, be exceedingly ungrateful to their Lordships and the other House if he accepted the compliment which had been paid to himself and the other members of the Government without admitting in the frankest and most unequivocal manner that, for the success which had attended the determina tion to which they had thought it their duty to come, they were in a great measure indebted to that absence of party feeling, both in this and the other House, which had eminently characterised the discussions in the present session, and also to the fair ness with which their propositions had been re ceived. Had that not been so, the period of time would have rendered it exceedingly difficult to carry into effect those measures which they conceived to be of vital importance. If the Government were entitled to any thanks, it was for hav ing resisted the importunity from various quarters with which it was urged upon them to dissolve Parliament at a period which would not only have been inconvenient personally to themselves, but would have involved the country in great inconvenience, and probably have led to the postponement, if not.the loss, of many useful mea sures which they deemed it their absolute and bounden duty to propose to Parliament. When he bad the honour of first addressing their Lordships after assuming office, he specified certain measures which the Government deemed of paramount importance, and which they con sidered it was absolutely necessary should be passed be fore an appeal should be made to the country. First and foremost among these was the Militia Bill, for in creasing the national defences of the country. Next came the measures for legal reform, which were no doubt recommended by the Commission that was ap pointed by their predecessors, but the machinery of which was mainly owing to the zeal and knowledge which was brought to bear on the subject by the present Lord Chancellor. In addition to these, they thought it important no longer to delay carrying into effect a measure for giving representative institutions to New Zealand. They were also anxious to contribut e t o th e h ea lth o f t h e me t ro p o l is by promoting a system of extramural interment, and improving and increasing the supply of water. If, there fore, they deserved credit for anything, it was; for having justly estimated the degree of public spirit which they believed prevailed in this and the, other House. This public spirit had permitted them to act on the principle of abandoning all measures which might lead to controversy, and had obtained for them their support, regardless of all party considerations, for carrying these measures which were im peratively required for the good of the country.—(Hear.) It was a source of great gratification to bear that that short session had been marked with as great an advance of public business as had ever been effected in a longer session, or with a stronger Government at the head of affairs. He confessed that the opposition which had been offered to her Majesty's Government had not bin carried beyond the fair limits, and he be lieved that there was no proof that with re gard to those great measures which had been intro dae,•sl and carried by her Majesty's Ministers, they had been in a minority i n thi s or t h e ot h er H ouse of Parliament. U pon one quest i on, certainly, his colleagues in the other House had been left in a minority, but the reasons which led to it were not so much based on the natu re o f ' th e measure i tse lf , "3 it being consid ere d a d eparture f rom the understand ing which was laid down at the commencement of the smnoe. , that n o measure should be introduced which was not of an absolutely necessary character. At the same time, he gratefully acknowledged that while the Goverment had ac t e d on t hi s un d erstand i ng to the bF s e t of their a bility, th e y h a d not been met with any factious opposition and had en countered ps but p e rfectly fair and honest opposition. To their Lordships he owed spec i a l t h an k s f or the kind ness which they had shown hi m i n carry i ng on t h e necessary business of the Government in that House. Ho thought if they had followed the advice that had been r ecommended by some gen tleman, and dissolved the Parliament on first taking office, and have summ oneda new one, which would probably have met about this time, he was per suaded that time would have been want i ng for carrying Out those great sad Important measures which had lately passed through both Houses, and he thought, too, that if they had been introduced at the commencement of a new Parliament the public attention would have been addressed to them less with a reference to their intrinsic merits than to party feeling. He him self thought that they ought to be considered without any reference to party feeling, he did not ywish that p ar t y feelings should pervade all their discussions. It v,as his aim and that of the Government to reconcile the different classes of the country, and to obtain the confidence of the country at large by doing wh a t they believed to be for the benefit of all. Earl GREY allowed that many important measures had been nassed, but ho did not think the Government were entitled to take as much credit for tham as they seemed to take. Their passing was rather to be attri buted to the political interregnum which had taken place, and to the fact of the Government having adopted the measures of their predecessors—measures . which they had, is some instances, opposed w h en i n opposition.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Half -past One o'clock, PETITIONS. Mr. T. BUNCOMBE presented a petition from tier• tain individuals complaining of the coadnot of Russia in reference to its interference with the affairs of Sicily. The Hon. Member also presented two petitions from the City of London, praying for the repeal of the taxes on knowledge. Mr. SPOONER presented a petition from Salisbury, praying that that City might be excluded from the Public Health Act. PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL. The Lords' amendments to this Bill were considered and agreed to. IMPROVEMENT OF THE JURISDICTION OF EQUITY BILL. The Lords' amendments to this Bill were considered. Mr. WALPOLE moved that the House do disagree with the Lords' amendment which proposed to strike out clause E. Mr. BETHELL seconded the motion. Sir W. P. WOOD took the opportunity of this dis cussion to complain of the conduct of the Lord Chan cellor in imputing to his Right Hon. Friend the Master of the Rills sinister motives with reference to the Relief of Suitors in Chancery Bill. There was no foundation whatever for such imputations, and he was sorry they had ever been made. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod here appeared at the table and summoned the House to attend at the bar of the House of Lords, to hear the Royal assent given by Commission to several public and private Bills (for which see Lords' report.) On his return the SPEAKER announced the titles of the Acts. IMPROVEMENT OF THE JURISDICTION OF EQUITY BILL. The consileration of the Lords' amendments to the Bill were then resumed. Sir W. P. WOOD added to what he had already stated in reference to the Master of the Rolls, that the Bill was prepared by the late Lard Chancellor upon the recom mendation of the report of a Committee, and the Master of the Rolls had nothi ng t o d o w i t h the preparation of its provisions. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said ho was convinced the House would feel perfectly satisfied with this expla nation ; and he was equally convinced with his Noble Friend in another place that no stigma whatever could be attached to the untarnished reputation of the Master of the Rolls in reference to this or any other subject. It was quite evident that the statement complained of was made under a misapprehension, which perhaps was excusable when it was remembered that his Noble and Learned Friend who made it had been so much taken up with such extensive and valuable law reforms as those which had just been brought about. He would take the liberty of mention ing, in conclusion, that those improvements were only the precursors of others of a far more important cha racter, which would be proposed to future Parliaments. After a few words from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, Tho Lords' amendment was disagreed to, and a Committee appointed to hold a conference with the Lords on the subject. SUITORS IN CHANCERY RELIEF BILL. The Lords' amendments to this Bill were considered and agreed to. RELIGIOUS PROCESSIONS. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY wished to ask whether the Act in force to prevent Roman Catholic processions cannot restrain processions by clergymen of the Church of England in imitation of Roman Catholic processions; and, if it cannot, whether her Majesty's Government have any intention to frame such an Act as may put a stop to such practices. Sir F. KELLY said in answer to the question of his Hon. Friend he had to state, in the first place, that the Act of Parliament which was now in force had no rela tion whatever to religious processions —if such had ever existed—in which clergymen of the Church of England performed a part. The Act of Parliament applied entirely to processions composed of Roman Catholic priests or Roman Catholic persons.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the remaining part of the question, he had only to state that the Government were not at all aware that the law had been violated in the manner represented in any part of the kingdom; and therefore it was scarcely ne cessary for him to state that the Government had no intention whatever of proposing, either in this or any other Parliament, a Bill of the nature suggested by the q uestion.—(Hear.) LEOPOLD DE ROSE. - - Lord DUDLEY STUART would move for a copy of the depositions taken at Gosport on the case of Leopold de Rose, who was sentenced to imprisonment, with hard Ilbour, on the 13th day of November, 1851. The Noble Lord recapitulated the circumstances of the case which he had detailed on the previous day. Be added also that Captain Hamilton, who had given De Rose into custody, had also insulted him by telling him that, as a Pole, he belonged to the most rascally set of scoundrels that ever were let loose on this coun try. The Noble Lord then proceeded to point out the injustice of the case, remarking that even if the poor Pole had solicited alms it would have baen harsh treatment to give him into custody. It was only a few days since an Austrian officer, who had been engaged in the warlagainst Hungary, applied to him for relief, and although he had been opposed to the prin. ciples of that affair, he should have disgraced himself had he given that man into custody.—(Hear, hear.) And yet Captain Hamilton had thought it not unbecoming in a British officer to be instrumental in imprisoning a poor Pole for fourteen days. The conduct of the magistrate was, however, equally repre hensible, for there could have been no necessity for visiting so slight an offence with such great severity. A case of this sort was a disgrace to a country which boasted of affording protection to foreigners. Mr. H. BERKELEY said that he had great pleasure in seconding the motion of his Noble Friend. He, from personal acquaintance, could state that Captain De Rose was a gentleman of the greatest delicacy.; He hoped there would be no opposition to the motion. Sir W. JOLLIFFE regretted that the subject had been brought on at this period of the session. Time ocght to have been afforded for procuring information on the subject. It was most unusual in such a state of things that no representation had been made to the Home-office. All ho could promise was that he would inquire into the matter. Mr. ANSTEY did not think that application to the Home-office was a very satisfactory remedy; in similar cases application had had been made to the Home-office, and without the least success. Lord PALMERSTON said this was a case deserv ing a minute and accurate investgation, and he hoped the Government would take care that such an investiga tion was had. The Noble Lord who had introduced this subjact was entitled to the thanks of the country for having done so, since it would convince the world that even the wrongs of a poor foreigner could not be over looked by Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) JUNE so, 1882. PARLIAAIENTARY LITEIZATL One of our correzpouth.nts has forwarded to us a , detailed li s t of w h o h e ca ll a ''the represpntzqives of the literary interest in the Legidature." He says : " Mr. Dis:aeli has hereditary pretensions to lead the literary interest in the Lower Howe, and Ido not think that there could be any 'opposition' to his claim of being the first novelist at present in the House of Commons. The only other M.P. whom I can find avowedly contributing to the fiction interest is Mr. Graotley Berkeley, whose novel of Berkeley Castle,' and its consequences, might furnish a chapter to Curiosities of Literature.' Lord J. Russell, as author of Don Carlos,' is the only dramatist in the Lower House, and h e ran k s a l so amongs t essay ists, biographers, and historia ns , by hi s var i ous publica tions. Lord Mahon and Colonel More are at the bead of the historical and critical M.P.'s ; and I perceive the names of Mr. Macgregor, Mr. Torrens M'Cullagh, and Sir Jobn Walsh, as authors of historical writings. Under the head of poets, I observe Lords Maidstone and John Manners, and Mr. Monckton Milnes. The travellers' are more numerously represented in the Lower House of Parliament than most other departments of litera ture ; amongst them are—Lords Jocelyn and Naas, Mr. Emerson Tennent, Mr. Urquhart, and Mr. Whitside ; and I think that Sir George Staunton and Mr. George Thompson may be classed with the tra vellers. In the department of political philosophy' I find Mr. Gladstone, Sir Win. Moleswortb, Mr. W. J. Fox, and Colonel Thompson. Mr. Cornewall Lewis, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. George Smythe, and Mr. Mackinnon appear amongst the general essayists. Mr. Walter, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Wakley may be ranked with the editorial interest ; and I may add that Mr. Butt—the new M.P. for Harwich, besides being the reputed author of a three volume novel, was for some years the editor of the Dublin University Magazine.' The biographers are represented by Mr. Grattan, author of a five volume work on his cele brated father. The pamphleteer department is represented by and I pass it by, with the remark that Lord Overstone in the Upper, and Mr. Cobden in the Lower House, are at its head by the importance of their publications. Turning to the Lords, the Bishop of St. David's (Dr. Thirlwall) is clearly at the head of the historians in that assembly,—Lord Brougham of Political Philoso phy and Belles Lettres, and Lord Campbell of the biographers. The Novelists are represented by Lords Normanby and Londesborough. The 'Edito rial interest' of the Peers is of a different kind from that in the Lower House,—and is represented by the Earl of Malmesbury, the Marquis of Londonderry, and Lords Holland and Braybrooke. Lord St. Leo nerds' work on ' Powers' shows that he has other than ex officio right to be placed at the head of living English writers on law. The Duke of Argyll, by his treatise on the Church History of Scotland, has added to the literary works of the Campbells. The Marquis of Ormonde has published a richly illustrated narrative of a residence in Sicily. In Physical Sciences, the Earl ofitosse, not merely as P. R. S., but by his accomplishments, distances all competitors in either House. There is only one autobiographer in the Legislature—Lord Cloncurry. The acted drama, since the removal of Mr. Shell, Sir T. N. Talfourd, and Sir Bulwer Lytton from the Lower House, has no other representative in the Legislature than the Earl of Glengall. Lord Strangford represents the poets of the Peers, and of the Belles-Lettres interest in the Upper House, the Earls of Carlisle and Elles mere are efficient supporters. Io the interest of the fine arts we may rank " Athenian Aberdeen," and as a musical composer the Lords have Lord Westmore land. A more original writer neither House can boast of than the venerable writer of the "Wellington Dispatches." I have not by me, when I write, the means of ascertaining the number of the bench of bishops ranking with the literary interest ; but fore most amongst them, besides the Bishop of St. David's (named ante), are the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of Dublin, and the Bishops of London and Oxford. I may add that the number of Peers is only about two-thirds that of the Lower House, but, on the other band, the Peers enjoy much more leisure."—Athenceutn. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 29. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord CAMPBELL and Common Jury.) • THE QUEEN V. SILL. Mr. Wood was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Chambers and Mr. Ballantine for the defendant. Mr. WOOD, on the part of the prosecution, applied to have the trial of these indictments, one of which was for felony and the other for misdemeanour, postponed,on the ground that the prosecutor's witnesses were not present, as they had understood the case was to be a remanet by the order of his Lordship. Lord CAMPBELL thought the affidavits were not suffi cthe application of th e L earne d C ounse l, air h t to e (L ify o u rdstiCampbell) bad not directed the case to be made a remanet. The trial must, therefore, proceed. Mr. WooD said he could not, under these circum stances, adduce any evidence in support of the pro secution. A d Acquittal was th en ta k en i n b oth cases. There was one other case in the paper, which was settled, and thus ended the sittings at Westminster. Lord CAMPBELL then told the jury they were dis charged, and he retu rne d t h em hi s thanks for their very valuable services, and it might be satisfactory to them to know that though there was an extraordinary entry of causes, yet by their exertions every cause that stood for trial had been disposed of.

BANKRUPTS. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN EE WILLIAM SMITH. The bankrupt was an engineer, of 69, Princes-street, Leicester-square. This was an adjourned certificate meeting. Mr. Tippetts appeared for the assignees, Mr. A. Tur ner for a creditor, and Mr. Lawrence for the bankrupt. His HONOUR, in giving judgment, said this was a case in which the bankrupt ought to have placed himself in the hands of his creditors sooner, and there was cer tainly some ground for complaint. Under all the cir cumstances of the case be could not grant the certificate forthwith; it must be suspended for six months from the 27th of April last, and when granted to be of the second class, as the bankruptcy had partly arisen from unavoid able loss.

Mary Ann Stagg, John Wilson, and Charles Starke, who were some days ago charged upon suspicion of having robbed Mr. Good, a farmer, at Aldborough Fair, near the city of Norwich, of Bank of England and Bank of Norwich notes, and other property, to the amount of upwards of 5001., were brought before Sir P. Laurie for final examination. The following is an account of the additional particu lars of the investigation.— Mrs. Rogers, the wife of the shopkeeper in Hounds ditch, who had followed the prisoners into Bishopsgate street after having refused to change a Norwich bank note of 101. for the female prisoner, said the appearance of the male prisoners in the street, while waiting for toe woman, caused suspicion,.and her husband returned the note to the woman, who forthwith proceeded to another shop for the purpose of obtaining the accommodation. James Doddymead, a person who lives in the neigh boarhood of Bishopsgate-street, said—At about half-past nine o'clock on the night in question I saw two men running in the direction of Shoreditch, and a number of bank-notes scattered about the street where they had passed. I picked up twelve notes for 101. each, which proved to be those of the Norwich Bank, and I took them to the station- house, and gave them to the con stable in authority there. Two or three man ran after me, and wanted me to give the notes to them, but I re fused to have anything to do with them, and I made off to the station-house to deliver the property to the police. I did not see the faces of the men who were running from the police. Lydia Milling, of Albert-place, Hoxton—l was also in Bishopsgate-street at the time above stated, and I saw a man running, and policeman Gibson following him at full speed. I did not see the fugitive throw away any thing, but I picked up four or five Norwich 101. bank notes. An omnibus man then jumped from his foot board, and saying "What have you got there ? " to me and another woman, took them from me, and I then said we would all go with them to' the station-house, to which ha accordingly drove, and we then gave up the notes to the constable. Amelia Matthewa—l was in the company of the last witness, and I picked up four notes of the same descrip tion, and delivered them at the station house. Gibbon, in the employment of Mr. Roberts, of 65, Shoreditch, clothes dealer, eaief—The three prisoners came into the shop between five and six o'clock on the 22d of June. I sold Starke a suit of clothes, and Wilson a waistcoat, fur which Starke paid mo 21, 18s. with a 101. note I produce, which I changed. The note is on the Norwich Bank, and is dated 17th of April, 1852, and numbered I.) 6,487. He wrote upon it the name of Starke, and told me to write his Christian name " Charles," as he could not write well, end I did so. In answer to Sir P. LAURIE, the witness said—This is the only note I changed for them, or they presented to me. Sir P. LAURlE — Prisoners, do you wish to ask any questions of any of these witnesses?—The prisoners, all of whom appeared to be very much dejected, said they had nothing at all t o as k . Sir P. LAURIE —I shall send you all on Thursday next to Norwich, to take your trial in that city, and I shall transmit to the magistrate there a copy of the deposi tions iu this most serious case of robbery. It gives me the greatest satisfaction to state that the witnesses who were engaged in the detection and apprehension of the prisoners have, one and all, acted with the most praise worthy skill and propriety, and I shall feel much plea sure in giving my certificate for the payment of a ll tt: expenses i ncurre d , and likely to be incurred, by theoliviae of the electric telegraph, by means of which 01 1: 1; 000 .. communicated with th e police of Norwich.

Mr. CORRIE said he would remand the prisoner for a week, and gave instructions to the constable to make inquiries at the hospital daily and report her state at this court, with the view that her deposition might be taken. James Welsh, John Gorman, and Mary Welsh, the wife of the former prisoner, were charged with having been concerned in the following daring outrage and assaults on the police. The male prisoners appeared with their heads bound up and covered with marks of violence. It appeared from the evidence of Caleb Davis and Job Lewis, officers of the E division, both of whom were severely injured, the former having had his srm nearly broken, and aho was otherwise so hurt that he is dis abled from duty, that on Tuesday evening they re ceived information that a desperate affray had taken place in Selina-place, Somers-town. They repaired thither and found the neighbourhood in excitement and confusion, while the male prisoners were fighting with every one indiscriminately. Welsh escaped into a house and bolted himself in. In at tempting to apprehend him, he wrested Davis'a staff from him, and beat him with it on his head, arm, and. side unmercifully, while Mrs. Welsh had a broom, which the used desperately, and Gorman was also very_ violent. Welsh and his wif e call e d ou t, " the —," and it was not until a reinforcement of officers arrived on the spot that they could be taken into custody, when they resisted violently all the way to the station-house, where they were locked up. James Moriarty, brother of Mrs. Welsh, who was also severely maltreated, said that Welsh and Gorman brought "a faction" to ill-use him, when he was seized, his house besieged and broken into, and he was dread fully beaten. Ills property and part of the house were demolished, and he would have been murdered had it not been for the arrival and assistance of the police. Welsh, exhibiting the wounds on his head, said the police caused them by blows with their truncheons. He owned that he had been drinking. Mr. CORRIE asked whether he had been struck on the head with a truncheon. Davis—l struck him with my staff when he struck ins on my arm. Welsh—Four or five of them struck me. lam co vered all over with bruises. The other prisoners denied the charges against them. It was stated that the injuries received by Davis were of so serious a nature that the surgeon who attended him had desired him to pay great attention, or the result might prove dangerous to him. Numerous other officers and private individuals were in attendance to give evidence against the prisoners. Mr. CORRIE thought it a savage and lawless outrage, and fined Gorman 20s. or three weeks' imprisonment; Mrs. Welsh he fined 10s. or one fortnight's imprison ment; but James Welsh he would remand for having assaulted the officer Davis, until the result of the injuries inflicted upon Nina could satisfactorily be made known. THAMES. Catherine Tierney, a decent-looking servant girl, 18 years of age, who appeared overwhelmed with grief, was brought before Mr. Ingham charged with stealing four gold pins, value 21., the property of Mr. Samuel . Aceck, a timber-merchant, of No. 1, York-street Last, Stepney. It is necessary to state that Mrs. Acock, the wife of the prosecutor, and lately mistress of the prisoner, was fined 5/. on Monday by Mr. Ingham fur an assault on the girl, who afterwards proceeded, in company with a young woman to the prosecutor's house to fetch her box away, and hence arose the present charge. Mr. Acuck said that the prisoner had been in his ser vice for a short time up to that day week, when she left. On Monday evening she called at his house fur a box containing her clothes, and when she brought it down stairs be intimated that he must search it and look over the things. She objected to it, and said she would not allow her box to be searched. An officer was then sent for, and all her clothes were turned out, and when the girl bad done picking them up again a small red box was tound on the oil-cloth where her clothes bad been. It contained four gold pins. He had last seen the box seven or eight days ago, or it might be more. When he accused the prisoner of stealing the box and its con tents she cried and sobbed, and said she was innocent, and had never seen the property before. After hearing several witnesses, Mr. Itionem said, this was a case of conflicting evi dence, and he would send it before a jury. It was im puted to Mr. and Mrs. Acock that they had entered into a conspiracy to prefer a false charge against an innocent girl. That court was not the proper tribunal to try such a question. He would take one respon sible surety in the num of 201. for the prisoner's appear ance on Friday next, when the deposizious would be completed, and the prisoner committed for trial. A gentleman quite unacquainted with the prisoner, who had heard the case, offered himself as bail, and was accepted. It is said that Prince Murat has purchased the property of Busenval, near St. Cloud.
