He could petersr in that passage when be found that her Majesty's • • , • • te wti were sanctioning tnings in Spain directly in contra ewe, on of the spirit of that Treaty. The terms of the Quad- ehr! Treaty were simply then that England, if her assistance as s u j u lt id be necessary to restore peace in the Peninsula, should t i With a naval force.

There was a e 4 of " The faction" raised in reference to the Spanish quer raie. Yes, there was a faction in Spain which was rapidly .ng its resources and degrading its character—a faction ise ace still u had commenced its career in gratuitous cruelty, and wb ' continued to indulge in reckless barbarities—a faction °se claim s and career were based on injustice and pursued t L a 'fliquitv—a faction which assumed the semblance of liberty b i de its its tyranny, and the cover of English bravery to e its cowardice and disgrace. Englishmen were, of course, f Y nature brave, but be must say that the character of the e ac tion to which they had allied themselves in Spain was such 1 necessarily to communicate a portion of the disgrace which conduct so thoroughly involved them in. Was it not pos h.°le for England to oppose Don Carlos without misrepresenting e Z a ? What torrents of contemptible cant had been poured forth p o P n ec ie ting the " odious Durango decree" and " the cruelty of kues e l rl °s'' by tbose who knew better all the time--who Prese nt a a t the Durango decree was the law of England at the Don C„ - , 4 ° Meet—that it was enacted in Biscay lung before of th e ;;;',! ° , B was born—and that it was, at the urgent request of :"Mitlitants put forth by him in mercy, to meet the case of hi s - e ru w w d of reckless - outcasts, who were, at the instigation the B a e nlies, preparing to throw themselves on the coast of nabit e Zq u e provinces, and carry desolation amongst their in of tki:"` l --it was to check, and, if possible, arrest the course . devotedßas expedition that this ancient national law of the - 111 ° people was promulgated in mercy.

(( iroPetent in the Ilon w o o u r r d ah m le o . r M e. ember to pro. f ;° would say just one It might be 1. ' 41 the remarks of the Gallant Captain that he blamed the Attorney r General for not bringing forward a mo tion on the subject, but he should recollect that the Attorney- General had sat in that House, night after night, to obtain an opportunity for the discussion of a Bill in which the entire public was interested, and was he to be held responsible for the delay, for which he was not at all to blame ? Under all the circumstances, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) trusted that the Gallant Captain would postpone his motion. Captain PEC HE L L consented to follow - the advice of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and postpone his motion, but he would not relinquish it. Mr. GOULBURN would leave it to the Attorney-General to say whether the motion of the Gallant Captain had been sufficiently explained to the House to induce it to alter the law which made the husband liable for the debts of the wife. Such an alteration, he thought, would only make things worse. 'I he ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the motion 'was subversive of the law of the land. By'that law a mar ried woman could have no property, and consequently her hus band was answerable for her debts. The Gallant Officer said that merchants in B• ighton had suffered from giving credit to married women. But that was not from any defect in the law, but from an excess of competition, which the Gallant Member candidly admitted. A better remedy for them than that proposed by the Gallant Captain would be the exercise of a greater caution in giving credit, and to produce that was the object of a Bill which he (the Attorney-General) in tended to bring speedily before Parliament, and which he trusted would soon be the law of the land.—(Hear, hear.) The Gallant Captain was mistaken in supposing that there was any difference of opinion between two such high law authorities as the Queen's Solicitor-General and himself. The case he alluded to was that of Jane Champion. Her husband was transported for felony, and she consequently be came liable for any debts she might contract. That was the old law of England ; but it was no reason why the law should be altered. The Bill was withdrawn. LICENSED VICTUALLERS. Captain PEClfill:said he now rose to move fur leave to bring in a Bill for the protection of licensed victuallers. The of of it was to restrict the responsibility under which this class stood at present with respect to property brought into their houses. They were liable to great hardships under the law as it now stood, and were not at all treated fairly. The restrictions imposed upon them were not so necessary at present as they were when it was competent to any person to open a public house, no matter what his character was. There was a recent case in which a tavern-keeper had to pay for property, ohich it appeared afterwards had been stolen by his servant. Colonel SIBTIIORP opposed the motion. Sir G. STRICKLAND supported the motion. Mr. W. W. WYNN said no sufficient ground was stated for altering what had been the common law from time im memorial. Mr. WAKLEY supported the motion. Many petitions had been presented on this subject, and it could not therefore be considered as a wanton, uncalled-for piece of legislation. Mr. HUME was desirous to afford relief to the subject when he had a real grievance to complain of. If the object was to remove all responsibility he could not concur in it. He hoped the Attorney-General would give the House his opinion on the law as it stood. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not consider the law at all defective. The law was that if the property of a tra veller had actually, or by construction, come under the pro tection of a landlord, he was responsible for it. This might operate sometimes as a hardship, but he saw no reason for altering the law. There was no law which might not operate sometimes as a hardship as well as this. The decision must ultimately depend upon a jury, to whom it must be satisfacto rily proved that the traveller had the property, and that it had passed into the care of the landlord. Captain PE C HE L L said the great object of his Bill was to make it incumbent on the traveller actually to place his pro perty in the care either of the landlord or his servant. If a person put his horse into the stable of an inn, even without en tering the house, it was held that the landlord was liable for the horse if it should be stolen. Was not this a great hard. ship ? With respect to the case of Captains of her Majesty's ships, they were not permitted to convey any thing but specie, and were liable only to the amount for which they gave a receipt. Lord SANDON would not oppose the motion, on the un derstanding that it would embody some limitation. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL saw no reason why there might not be limitations in the case of licensed victuallers as well as of carriers. Sir E. SUGDEN did not think the object proposed was practicable. In his opinion, it would be better for all parties that the law should remain as it was. The House then divided, when the nupbers were— Ayes 32 Noes 97 Majority against the Mution-65 Sir E. WILMOT said that lie had prepared ri motion re garding the want of accommodation for Members of that House in the House of Peers. He considered it was time to complain of this, when the space alloted to Members of the House of Commons in the Upper House was so inconvenient that it was scarely possible for them to see or hear anything that transpired, and more especially when persons who had no right there were constantly admitted and accommodated.— ( Hear.) The Peers, on the contrary, met with every accom modation when they visited the House of Commons. After some farther conversation, the Hon. Gentleman ex pressed his intention of bringing the matter before the House on a future occasion, unless the conversation which had that night transpired should produce the desired effect. POST OFFICE. Mr. WALLACE rose to move for "a Select Committee to inquire into the causes of the irregularities and delays which have taken place in the transmission of the mails between London and Manchester and Liverpool, and between London and Edinburgh and Glasgow, by the railway from Birming ham to nmchester and LiverpoOl." The Hon. Gentleman subsequently withdrew his motion at the suggestion of Mr. F. T. Bar►ng. REVENUES OF THE CROWN. Sir R. INGLIS moved for an " account, showing the amount of moneys which would be applicable to the civil Government of England if the hereditary and temporary re venges of the Crown enjoyed by his Majesty King George the Second had been enjoyed by succeeding Sovereigns." After sonic discussion, in which Mr. HUME, Sir T. FREE MANTLE, and gr. T. F. BARING took part, the motion was agreed to. REGULATIONS FOR THE SITTINGS OF THE 40olk THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1837. HOUSE. Mr. BROTH ERTON rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice. He should not have presumed to introduce a motion of such a kind, if he did not feel that it was a matter of importance not merely to the Members of that House, but to the public at large. He proposed that no new motion should be brought on after midnight, if any five Mem bers should express a wish that it should be postponed, and in all such cases he intended that the Speaker should have power to direct the postponement and proceed at once to the other orders of the day. By this means the inconvenience arising from motions of adjournment would be avoided, and the routine of business would be allowed to progress without interruption. They were all aware that mere motions of adjournment fre quently occupied a great portion of their time most unprofitably, and that by such motions a minority could always defeat the nishes of a majority. On the ground, therefore, of conveni ence, his motion had strong claims upon the consideration of the liouse. Late sittings could not be otherwise than inju rious to the hcalths of the Members. This was an admitted fact, and he thought it could not be deni,ll that the practice retarded rather than facilitated public busine:s. Upon these grounds he should, without further observation, move, " That it being desirable, (Accept in particular cases, that the sittings el this House should not be continued after midnight—re solved, that when any motion is brought on after twelve o'clock at night, and a Member rises to speak to order, and moves that the further debate on such question be adjourned to a fu ture day, such motion being supported by four other Mem bers rising in their places, Mr. Speaker shall immediately declare the debate adjourned without putting the question to the House, and proceed to the other Orders of the Day." Mr. HINDLEY seconded the motion, and said that, with the have of the House, he would adduce an authority in fa votir c f it. In the second report of the Poor L•►w Commis sioners it was stated that much inconvenience had arisen from the evening sittings of parish boards, and that since the prac tice had been altered, and early meetings had been enforced, much advantage had resulted. The Right Honourable Mem ber for Montgomeryshire had frequently admitted that owing to late sittings many Bills had slipped through Parliament without the investigation which their importance deserved, and this, as well as the general inconven;etice which resulted from it, induced him to give his support to the proposition of his lion. Friend the Member for Salford. - _ Mr. GOULBURN was averse to the motion, and hoped the [lon. Member for Salford would consent to withdraw it. Mr. POTTER suggested that the motion of his Hon. Friend the Member for Salford contained an exception which would prevent the possibility of inconvenience arising from it. Mr. PEASE said that his Parliamentary experience con vinced him that the proposed regulation would be imprac ticable, and • he was therefore opposed to laying down any general rule. Mr. WAK LE Y said that two hundred years ago the prac tice of the House was to sit at eight in the morning, and to rise at six or seven in the evening, instead of twelve. He certainly disliked nocturnal depredations such as were con stantly committed in that House, and thought that the present detective system required change. There were in the House 400 or 500 loungers, and it was notorious that those Hon. Gentlemen, after amusing themselves at convivial parties, fre quently came into the House at a late hour, and disturbed the proceedings of the working Members by unseemly and dis agreeable noises. This was a description of conduct which ought not to be tolerated in any assembly. Mr. WARBURTON said that, as the motion was worded, he did not think they could agree to it. Placing such a power in the hand s o f any five Members would, in his opinion, be unwise, as it would tend to the destruction of all business. A question could hardly be brought forward to which there would not be at least five objectors, and as that which could be done at twelve o'clock might be done at anv other hour, the result which he apprehended would be inevitable. Mr. S II A NV thought th at w h ether they sat by day or by night was perfe a c s t t l h y imeeffmeactteial,so fa of fit vcoul r as the o present render i m t u ot t i t o e n was con cerned,rly impos sible for the Government to carry on the public business. An HON. MEMBER said that if it were known that the House was to adjourn at twelve, the public business would be brought on at an earlier hour. Mr. R. ST EUA RT opposed the motion, on the ground that lie would not consent that any Hon. Gentlemen should have the power of arresting a debate. The Orders of the Day would be just as liable to objection as any other proceeding of that House; aid the effect, therefore, of such a proposition would be not only to prevent Bills to which there was no ob jection passing through their stages,. but to delay the whole of the public as well as the private business of Parliament. The Hon Gentleman entreated his Hon. Friend, the Member for Salford, to withdraw his motion. Mr. C. W. WYNN said that he must object to the motion of the Hon. Member on principle, as he could not sanction the idea of allowing any five Members to be dictators to the [louse. Not only would the adoption of such a rule put a complete stop to the progress of public business, but it would, in fact, enable five Members at any moment to negative any given question. There might, for instance, he five Hon. Gentle men who thought the Ballot was a measure which ought to be carried,- and the consequence of assenting to this motion would be, that those Hon. Gentlemen might say, " We will not allow any public business to proceed until the_ Ballot is granted " This, it was true, was an absurd ease; but he put it because he thought it would show the absurdity of the motion. Mr. P. FRENCH considered that it would be cxcredingly unwise to give so small a minority such a power over the ma jority of the Members of the House. . Mr. WA L LAC E expressed himself hostile to the motion. Mr. F. BA RING obj'•cted to the motion on the ground that it would fetter the hands of the House, and, at the same time operate prejudicially en public business. The better way, he thought would be ti leave the matter as it was, and abide by the well-known sad constitutional mode of moving the question of adjournment. Mr. S. O'BRIEN supported the motion, and hoped his Hun. Friend would press it to a division. Mr. B ROTHE RTON said that if the House were deter. mined not to put a stop to late sittings and nocturnal legisla tion, he could not, of course, help it. He had framed his mo tion according to the suggestion of those who now opposed it —( A laugh)—but at all events it was his intention to take the sense of the House on the principle which it involved. The gallery was then cleared for a division, and the nuns. bers were— For the motion Against it Majority —so The House then adjourned to this day. PARLIAMENTARY DI VISION. MR. IVAKLEY'S AMENDMENT.

The business in Cotton throughout the week has been very ex tensive, the market having received a fresh impulse from the ac counts lately received from the United States, which have tended to increase the interest felt both by buyers and sellers respecting the improbability of speedy supplies from that quarter. The demand continues very active, with a bare supply of Cotton on the market, which closes with buoyancy at an advance of 1 d. in current quali ties of American at and under fair, and 1 / 4 d. per lb. in the better qualities, on the quotations of last week. Sea Island is very firmly held, and in many instances an advance of 1 / 2 d. per lb. has been ob tained. Egyptian has shared the general animation, and is in unu sually extensive demand, both from the trade and speculators, and not so freely offered as of late; an advance of V i d. per lb. has con sequently been generally obtained in the common qualities. Brazil, Pernam, and Bahia arc in moderate demand at an advance of 4d. per lb. Maranham is in request, and is 1 / B d. Fer lb. higher during the week.

Nov. 24 and Dec. 8, at twelve, at the 011 Signet Hall, Royal Exchange. The Millbrook Iron-works at Swansea, the most extensive, as well as profit Able in England, the property of Sir John Morris, arc announced in our columns to-night by Mr. George Robins. The enormous profit which is now realised in this trade, renders it unnecessary to devote more than seven years to the attainment of immense wealth. It it beliel ed that we should be puzzled to find out any other pur suit where a fortune iA so certain and so quichly made.. . . A few days ago a female in man's apparel, who had been employed for three weeks by Mr. Thomas Dake, bricklayer, Newark, to carry bricks, &c., during which time she laboured hard, was found lying in an outhoulc very ill. She was taken to the workhouse, where her sex was di,eo vered ; and was afterwards removed to the gaol. She calls herself Mary Ann Grekin, and states that, previous to her coming to Newark, she made her escape from an asylum, and had a husband and five children. She has had sonic ob stinate wounds on her head.—Doncaster Gazette. BULL-BAITING AND ATROCIOUS CRUELTY.— The " Animals' Ft - lend Society" prosecuted 22 cases last week, seventeen of which were at Stond for bull-baiting ; and the offenders were all heavily fined by the Earl of Talbot and Messrs. Clarke and Beech. In one instance the bull's tongue was literally torn out of its head, and the same bull was again baited on the following day ! Most of the other cases were at Union Hall, and the offenders were all heavily fined; one of whom was a fellow named Foley, charged with having wilfully driven his waggon wheel over an ass, which cut oft' its hoof, and the poor animal bled to death•. MRS. GORE'S NENV WORK.—After the dull in terregnum of the Parliamentary recess, the reading public are accustomed to look for a new work of fiction from the brilliant pen of Mrs. Gore, as regularly and as confidently as they. lock for the day to follow the night. The leading tile of the new announcement (Mary Raymond) is, we understand, of a class to call forth a kind of power which, we arc satisfied, Mrs. Gore posseses in a high degre, b••t which she has not hitherto taxed to the performance of any high end—the power of educing intense' pathos—a pathcs amounting to the tragic— from those terrible realities of daily life which, because they surround us like familiar things, we lose the power of appre ciating, and even of duly observing, till they are placed befero us formally, as interesting fictions ► It is the privilege of truth alone to affect the 11U31311 heart deeply and permanently ; but it is the privilege of genius alone to place the truth in that point of view in which it shall produce this end. • ISLE OF MAN.—Protected by the fi'hertnen, the law of the island inflicts a penalty of 3/. on whosoever, either wilfully or wantonly, shoots one of the sea-gull race ; and such accordingly is the good understanding between the fisher men and these web-footed creatures, that the latter here, in the neighbourhood of Port Iron, walk about as securely and peaceably as ordinary ducks in a farmyard. The keen eye of the gull, when the herrings appear, enables him to discover the first twinkle of their scales, and detect the myriads that swim crowding together beneath the wave ; and, collecting in flocks, they hover over the spot, continually marking by their progress in the air the finny phalanx below. This saga cious manoeuvre infuses life in the village, and the fisher Men receive the signal with joy. Ever on the alert, they throw their nets into the boat, and when they return laden to their homes, the auxiliary gulls receive the reward of their services in the small fry and garbage, TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA. Cffice of Con - Inn:tee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, Nov. 11. 1637. Sir—l em directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy C runcil for Trade, to inform you that a new tariff of duties t' a issued at Monte Video in June last, an .-xtract from 1% hich I c wlose for the information of the member. of the Society wh , se interests you represent.

Some very curious proceedings of a considerable number of dignitaries of the Church and other Clergy took place at the Convocation at York on Thursdly. The zealots were prevented from passing any resolutions or petitions at the Convocition, but they met afterwards and addressed her Majesty, abusing the Ecclesiastical Commission (at the head of which were the Archbishop of Canterbury and tie Bishop of London) in good set terms, and denouncing the recommen dations of the Commissioners and the acts , of the Legislature I Thus the house is divided against itself—Clergy arc abusing Primates and Bishops, and depreciating the authority of Par liament, which is the very basis on which the Slate Church rests !! !—Lee a Mercury. BALLOT.—On Friday evening last the large room at the Greyhound Inn, Peterborough, the scene of several Tory feasts, was, owing to a change of proprietors, made the scene of a different tendency, a public meeting being held there to petition Parliament for the Ballot. The room was tolerably well filled ; at seven o'clock the proceedings com menced, Mr. Caster in the Chair. Various resolutions were uianimously agreed to, introduced by Messrs. Millar, Carter, Whitwell, Head, and Dennis, and a petition in favour of the Ballot was adopted. Saturday night some miscreants tied an article in the form of a maroon to the knocker of Mr. J. Ho•aon's door, Falmouth, and set it on fire: Mrs. Hooton, seeing sparks of fire falling outside the door in the passage, opened it, but Mr. Hooton had the presence of mind to close it just at the moment of the explosion. The report, which was heard at a great distance, and thought to be a gun from a vessel just come in, burst the pannel of the door, but Mr. and Mrs. 11 ►o. ton were tulunately preserved from injury. There arc some persons suspected, and we trust the perpetrators will be disco vered.— West Briton. DEMERARA.—By the Christian, Captain Mercer, arrived on Friday, and the Casket, Captain Brown, arrived on Sunday, from Demerara, we learn that the yellow fever has been mak►ng fearful ravages among the Europeans in the colony, and especially among the crews of British ships in the river. So much has tins been the case, that there is scarcely a ship which has not lost several of her crew. The Christian. however, escaped with only one death, but the Casket suffered most severely. Every man on board, except the mate, was laid up, and five died. The survivors state, that it was most distressing to witness the extent of the pes tilence as indicated by the flags that were flying lialf.mast high from almost every ship in the river. Almost every hour boats were seen proceeding from the diff.rent ships toward.; the landing-place opposite the church-yard, having on board the corpse of a departed shipmate, enclosed in a rude coffin, and covered with a union-jack, the sailor's funeral pall. Seve ral other Clyde ships have also suffered severely, but we for bear to particularize until we have acciunts of later dates than by the sailing of the Christian and the Casket. Gre-flock Advertiser. It will be recollectml that \lad•ttne St. Jaques, of St. Denis, near Montreal, - tired from her residence upoa sun dry persons who had surrounded her house, and that two or three persons were wounded, one of whom died. The lady surrendered herself to the civil authority, and was committed to prison. We now learn :hat she has been liberated on bill, and that a medal is to be presented to her for her praiseworthy and heroic conduct."—Nnv York Pap• r Accounts received from Canton to the 16th of May, state that the villages of Ktsantsung and Yahoo, a fen , miles north of the city, had been inut.dated, and many men and o nrn drowned. Oa the night of the 20th of Ar-ril, in conseq&nee of heavy rains, the waters rushed down front the hills, and flowed round the villages like a sea. The houses were swept away, and the inhabitants, hell'g unable to es .!.ape were sacrific e d in great numbers. The total loss of life was supposed to be upwards of 200. BA D TlMEs.—The fine weaving, as it is called, of Kendal, has within the last few years been considerably re duced in the price paid for labour. One of the " craft" as sured the writer of this the other day that be was then weaving a certain, kind of fine work for 91. per yard, for which 20. years ago he was paid Is Bd. per yard; and he added tho price of provisions was no dearer than now. at our telling him we were afraid the price would still get lower instead of higher, he saie, " Well, if the price falls half as much in the next 20 years 25 it his previously done, the landowners will be obliged to lower their rents, or otherwise the pour weaver must give over eating."—Kendal Mercury. Mr. WiEiam Davies, farmer, of Pentwyn, in the parish of Llarigunnider. was returning from watering his cattle; he was met by a neigiii•our, who asked him how he did, when he put his hand to his bosom, complained of illness, and in. stantly fell down and expired. He had taken his breakfast as usual. On Monday morning, as a corn-van, heavily laden, was descending Loam-pit-hill, near Lewisham, at a'rapid rate, the driver, William—l Anson, in the service of Mr. PaAby, of the White Hart Hotel, l3romley, Kent,•fell from the scat on which he was riding, when unfortunately, before he could ex t•icate himself from the perilous situation, the Leo And hind wheel of the carriage wet:t over his head, and crushed it so dreadfully as to cause his instantaneous death. The poor fel low, whose character was irreproachable, and only 27 years of Age. has left a wife and two children to deplore his loss. On Monday alter! o.m, the inquest was resumed, at at the P!ou,gh, Peckham, on the body of an infant, which was found floating in a pond at Peckham, with its skull fract ure d , arid marks cf stran,,,,..ulition on its throat. The Jury delivered a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." _ On Monday morning the inquest on the body of Joseph Robson , a mariner belonging to the Bells colli er , 'who was unfortunately run down by the Mercury steamer, on Tues, day last. was resumed at the Mitre Tavern, Greenwich, be. fo:c C. .1. Carttar, Esq., Coroner for West Kent, when, after hearing evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death, with a deodand on the Mercury of one hundred punt's." The foreman, Mr. Mitchell, after the verdict, addressed the Coroner to the effect, that he and the major part of his bro. ther jurors, considered that there lad been great culpable neglect on the part of those who h a the management of the steamer. SINGULAR DEATII.--011 Sunday last, a young woman, daughter of M r .
