The Noble Lord then asked if his Ma jesty's Ministers had any objection to the production of documents which were of great importance at the present moment,as they wouldshortly have to legislate upon a ques tion of the greatest import to the sister kingdom. The papers he alluded to were such communications eiliter written or oral, if afterwards reduced to writing, as were made to the Commissioner of Poor-laws, Mr. Nicholls, during his visit to Ireland last year. filE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, kn.

After a few words from Mr. WouLgE, Mr. BORTH • wrcx, and Mr. C. PELHAM, Mr. Sergeant JACKSON said he would not press his amendment, which . was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. O'CONNELL then moved the omission of the. wards " except rents-seek and rents-charge," and said that if they were retained in the Bill he would undertake to say that in a very short time upwards of half a million of pro perty would ba annually exempted from the paymenty l of a poor-rate. Colonel THOMPSON wished it to be satisfactorily e;.- plained to the House what was the distinction between rents-seek" acd " rents-charge." Mr. LEFROY gave the Hon. Member the necessary explanation, and said that he thought the proposition of the Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny should be agreed to. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON said that the question had in fact already been decided, 0!/ the proposition which he had brought fora ard with respect to tithes. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that although be would prefer retninkrr the words, he would not oppose the genera l u i s ! i of the Committee ' by persevering in their insertion. After some farther observations from Mr. LEN NA RD. Mr. o:Conneli's amendment was agreed to. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that although he had no objec. tioTi to the right of &Ling being rated, he certainly must object to having running streams or water-power mad. liable. Ilia objection arose from his belief that such a tax would prevent rather than encourage the outlay of capital in Ireland. Lord J. RUSSELL .submitted that such an exception would be most unfair.

Lord HATHERTON presented a petition from Sud bury, praying that small tenements might be rated upon the landlords. BUSINESS OF PARLIAMENT. Lord BROUGH A M,'with reference to the Committee which he had moved for last night, begged to say that some of the words had been omitted in the order. The Com mittee appeared to be to enquire into the state of the busi ness before the House, and he now moved that the order be discharged, for the purpose of having it correctly entered. The motion having been agreed to, the Committee was appointed, and the House adjourned to Thursday. Nations are not ruined by wars ; for convents an:l churches, palaces and cities are not nations. The Messenians, and Jews, and Araucanions, saw their houses and temples levelled with the pavement : the mightiness of the crash gave the stronger mind a fresh impulse, anJ it sprang high above the flames that consumed the last fragment. The ruin of a country is not the blight of corn, nor the weight and impe tuosity of hailstones; it is not the inundation nor storm, it is not pestilence or .famine : a few years, perhaps a single one, may cover all traces of such calamity ; but that country is too surely ruined, in which morals are lost irretrievably to the greater part of the rising generation.—Lander. THE CITY OF THE SULTAN.—Miss Pardoe has completely eclipsed Lady Wortley Montagu by this spirited and truly extraordinary production. "We have followed her," says the Court Journal, " at once thrilled and excited, from the regal hall, whose gilded dome is poised upon piilars of por. phyry, , to the mad house, whose cells echo with the clanking. of fetters—from the marble-lined mosque of St. Sophia, to the,boat man's mud-built hovel—from the subterranean cisterns of Con stantinople to the cloud-enveloped summit of Mount Olympus. In her delightful society we have feasted with Pachas and con - versed with Patriarchs —aossipped with deep-eyed Circassian beauties, and bowed beneath the spell of Georgian loveliness, we have loitered away the sunny hours of summer in the ' Val l•y of Sweet Waters,' and gallopped over the plain of Broussa. Miss Pardoe has left nothing unobserved, and she has produced a work as instructive and amusing as it is curious." The remains of the great pantomimist, Grimaldi, were Monday afternoon interred in the burial-ground of Pentonville Chapel. The funeral was private, and extremely plain. The hearse was followed by two mourning coaches, in which were Mr. Richard Hughes, one of the proprietors of Vauxhall, whose sister was Mr. Grimaldi's first wife ; Mr. Dixon, proprietor of Sadler's Wells Theatre ; Mr. Arthur, cousin of the deceased; Mr. Day us, the treasurer of Sadler's Wells Theatre; Mr. Norman, the pantomimist ; Mr. Wells, Mr. Lawrence, and three other friends. As it had not been anticipated that the funeral would take place before Wednes day, there were very few persons in the churchyaid, and amid them only two professional friends of poor Grimaldi. His grave was exceedingly deep, and is just at the foot of that of Charles D.bdin (son of the celebrated lyrist), to whom Gri maldi was indebted for almost all the songs with which he ito often provoked the.mirth . of the metropolis. A vast number of the panttheitnes in which Grimaldi appeared were invented also by poor Charles, and now actor and author share a few feet of earth between them. Mr. Grimaldi has left his shares . in Sadler's Wells to Mr. Hughes; his plate to the daughter of that gentleman, whom he had not seen from iDfancy. His personal property, including about 7001. in the funds, house hold furniture, &c. &c., to Mrs. Bryant, his sister ; 501. to his housekeeper, arid 25/., each, to his friends—Dayus and Norman. CAPTAIN MA RRYAT.—Our readers may prepare .C..2r another literary treat from the pen of this distinguished novelist. His " Suarley-yow ; cr, the Dog Fiend "is to appear on Saturday next. It has been well remarked of this eminent writer that in the power of presenting life as it is, he seems to stand alone among the writers of the age; but in this new work it seems that the mysterious is to be blended with the simple and the real—at all events, of this the ruder may be fully certain, that, from the first leaf to the last, a work of Captain Marryat's is sure to be read with the greatest pleasure. PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE CO OPANIES,&c. &c. &c. During the whole of Sunday and 'Monday the inhabi tants of Woolwich and its ‘icinity have been involved in the greatest excitement, in consequence of a report which was industriously circulated that several civilians had been zburdeted by a party of the military st.ationed at the bar rack; at Woolwich, and that so.ne of them were appre hended, and were to be examined before the Magistrates. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, crowds of persons as sembled in the neighbourho A of the Castle Tavern, High street, where the Magistrates hold their Courts, and the utmost curiosity and interest were manifested. At one o'clock, Sir John Webb, Sir Thomas Wilson, and William Stacey, Esq., took their seats on the Bench, when John Mines and Charles Hancock, kthlctic fellows, belonging to the 52d and . 102 d companies (d . the :Marines, the latter exhibiting a broken jaw and a tremendoui black eye, were brought front the watchhouse ; and several others coneerned in the outrage were brought from the guard house under a strong military and police escort. The two former were handcuffed. On being placed at the bar, they were charged by James Baker, a young man, a shoe maker, whose arm was in a sling, with having assaulted him, and stubbed him with a bayonet, with intent to mur der him. The prosecutor resides at No. 1, Grove, Woolwich ; on Saturday night lest, about twelve o'clock, he was at the Duke on Horseback public-house, High-street, Woolwich, when Thomas Still, a young man, came in with his eye 'dreadfully cut, and said th I t he had been ill-used by some marines ; witness and four or five others left the house, and on their arrival near the-Mitre public-house, they found se- veral marines and sailors fighting ; witness was standing by quietly, when we of the marines came up and said, " This is one of the --," and with that he made a blo.v at him, and closed, when they fell down together, and he was sur rounded by others, who beat him with their fists, sticks, kicked him, end jumped upon his body, and he would have been murdered had not one of the Rifle Brigade come to his assistance. When witness got up he ran away, on which he was pursued by one of the marines with his drawn bayonet, and he made a thrust at him with it, and stabbed him through the fleshy part of the right arm above the elbow ; witness ran a short distance bleeding profusely until he fell from loss of blood, and he was eventually car ried to a surgeon's, who dressed the wound. Sir John Webb—how many of the marines wore there? Witness—There were twelve or upwards, all with their bayonets out. Sergeant Meredith, Johnson, of the Rifle Brigade, be tween twelve and two o'clock on Sunday morning heard that there was a riot in the street, and ho sent some pf tl4o soldiers and secured eight of the marines in the guard house ; it w4g a regular fighting row ; he saw spots of blood on the prisoners' bayonets. James Poison, a private in the 11:11e Brigade, b e t w een twelve and one o'clock on Sunday morning . was nu aqua i when he saw a marine in the street very sick k a sailor passing - by sgjd, " You stupid —, what are you doing here at this time o' night ?" The marine made a low re ply, and the sailor struck hint ; they fought for t i ghort time, and a body of marines and sailors assembled together and fought = the marines assaulted persons indiscriminately without cause, and kieke4 RDd jumped upon them ; witness begged of them for God`s sake not 14 kW Op people, and had be not interfered murder would have been committed ; Baker eamo along, and said he was stabbed ; he was bleeding exceedingry ; could not say who stabbed him.

At first they supposed him to be asleep, but on going close to him a dreadful sight presented itself. The head and face were completely Queered with clotted blood, and he was qui:e dead. An alarm was imme diately given, and the nvighbourE ran to the spot, and the de ceased was recognised to be a man named William Purday, a labourer, residing at Battersea. lie had been observes! work. ing in the piece of ground celled Latchmore a very short time before, and appeared in very good health. How he came in the position in which he was found remains a mystery, but it is supposed that while at work lie had over-exerted himself in some manner and had broken a blood-vessel, and was endea vouring to get home, when he fell, and waa literally suffocated in the blood that issued from his mouth. The poor man's spade, which was also covered with blood, was lying at a short distance from him,- and a small bag, containing some articles of food, was clenched firmly in his left hand. Upon further examination, a trace of blood was distinctly perceptible the whole distance from the field whore the deceased was at work and w:iere his body was found.—The body awaits a Coroner's Inqu set. During the American war, whilst Colonel Bur goyne commanded at Cork, he saw a corpulent soldier among the spectators on parade, whom he addressed. " Who are you, Sir? You must be drilled twice a-day to bring down your eorpulenev. Who are you, Sir ?" " Please your Ho nour," replied Pat, " I sin the skeleton of the b!li Regiment of Foot, who have just marched over from America." The fact was so, for such was the carnage of the disastrous war, that only this fat soldier and Captain Webb returned to Europe out of an entire regiment that went to America. The foundation of domestic happiness is faith in the virtue of woman ; the foundation of political happiness, is confidence in the integrity of man ; the fouedation of all happiness, temporal and eternal, is reliance on the gooduess of God. -Lander. - A few days ago, six persons in the township of Clayton, were conversing on various subjects, and one of them asked the reason whv some clouds which were in a south east d:rection appeared bright on the tops ; and another of the party answered that it v. as owing to the sun shining upon them. This led to some discussion as to how far distant each individual considered those clouds to be ; and each man had a slip of paper given him to w rite his opinion of the distance. The answers were as follows person 4i miles ; 2nd 2,000; 3rd 40; 4th 100, .sdi 3; and 6th 10.—Flal:fir.z.Express. Madame de Stael somewhere says that nil virtue consists in self-sacrifice. Abstract from this aphorism its mo nasticism and you leave it a golden maxim. Let us weigh in this balance the public virtue of the metropolitan prelate. A Commission was appointed last year for the better regulation of the revenues, &c. of the Church of &wider]. It was coin posedeof lay-Lords and Commoners and Bishops. But in this lump there was a most active leaven. Bishop Blonifield was appointed a member, and " the Commission" may now be re garded as only another title for the Lord Bishop of London. His first step was modestly to limit his oven income to ten thousand a-year ! In addition to this, while other Bishops are seizing prebendal patronage, he seizes summarily on fifteen of die best livings at:ached to die Cathedral of St. Paul.—Lei cester Mercury. On Sunday week whilst Towerson Maclean, sex ton at St. Nicholas's church, in this town, was tolling the bell for afternoon service, by some unexplained means the cord of the rope got firmly entangled round his thigh, and lie was suddenly pulled up to the roof of the sacred edifice, a height of from twenty to twenty-two fret. On the return of the wheel of the bell the rope became slack, and the poor man was swiftly dashed to the floor with frightful velocity ; another turn of the a heel, and the unfortunate ringer was again jerked to the ceiling, and again he descended with terrific violence. Here some persons happily came to the relief of the sufferer, and relieved him from his perilous predicament. He was in a state o(insensibility at the time, and it was found that he bad received very severe injuries about the neck and shoulders, but ins head had providentially escaped being much hurt. He still continues to suffer from the effects of the singular and un toward accident, but we are glad to learn that he is now in a state of convalescence.-IFhisehueen Ilerald. 1100 UERY.—Bevond question all roguery is mere folly in the end. It often attains the object which it has sought, but it very seldom derives what was expected front the attainment of that end. There are few so fallen as really to applaud themselves for even successful roguery. They j may pretend to do it, but in secret they despise themselve s ; and what a wretched position that is t To despise ours-If, and to live in dread of being found out, and despised by others-- what can be more wretched ? Yet this is certainly the fate of nineteen-twentieths of those who play the rogue. The Faubourg St. Honore has just been the theatre of a tragic scene. Mme. L., when very young, waa the constant playmate of a youth named IL Their ju ven il e friendeliip in the course of years grew into a stronger attach ment. At the ago of gn, B. was obliged to go into the country for si veral months. On his return lie found that his fair friend had been induced to marry anetisar, Their intimacy was renewed, and their former passion revived. A length ened absence of the husband unfortunately afforded a too favourable opportunity for its guilty indulgence. At last M. L. announced by letter his approaching return. Thia threw the lovers into despair, and they resolved not to be separated but by death. flaying seat away all the household, they, un Monday last, shut thernicivc2 up, and having procured and lighted several charcoal braziers, accorupiia44 their purpose by suffocation. 2,000 31105 Albion 500/. sh. 501. pd SO 50,000 t rs per cent./ A lliance 1 11 1410 ft Vnreign 144.

Caroline Ante and Mary Martin, two !Yids, were placed before the Royal Court o f J erse y on Friday, by the Deputy-Viscount, charged with having returned to the Island from England, to where they had been transported for three years, before the expiration of their term of banishment. It appears that the authorities of the town had sent the girls to Weymouth, but the authorities of that fashionable watering place not liking the idea that their elegant town should be made a penal settlement fur the Channel Islands, and finding the damsels starving in their streets, sent them back again. The Court sent for the father of Ante, who was ordered to take her under his charge, thus annulling the former sen tenee, and ordered the other girl, Martin, to ba transported to Chatham, in Kent.--Jersey Patriot. A few days since a police officer of Faversham, having the care of a female prisoner, placed her in. his garret ; and to make sure, as he thought, of securing her for the nig! t, he fix on one of her legs a handcuff, to which he appended a chain and a twenty-eight pound weight. The wo:nan con trived however during the night to get out of the window and on to the roof of an adjoining house, descending from one roof to another, until within eight feet of the ground, which dis tance she must have jumped, with the cumbrous appendage above mentioned. She has not since been heard of. Last week the same officer was conveying three boys in a cart, on their way to Canterbury Gaol. They were all handcuffed together ; but on going up Broughton-hill, one of them con trived to slip his hand through the ring, jump out of the cart, and run away. The other two prisoners endeavoured to per suade the officer to run after their companion ; this, however, the officer declined, considering that to secure two was pre feT.,ble to the chance of losing all three. Mr. ForbeS, a gentleman in Ayrshire, having, for some time perceived that his lambs had undergone a sysent of thinning not accounted for, set a watch %% ith his gamy keeper and three couple of dogs, when one night last week they per ceived a she fox take off a lamb. They followed her to her earth, where they shot her. They then dug up the den, where they found four strong well-fed cubs, which our readers will readily believe, When informed that in addition to lambs' heads and bones, a whole lamb, the fragments of many domestic fowls, and seven brace of grouse, newly caught, were dis covered to be the contents of reynard's larder.—Ayr Gazette. A letter from Deerlyk, of the 30th of May, says that on the preceding day there had been a dreadful storin, which crossed the district from S. E. to N. \V. It passed very slowly, there being little wind. All at once an olive-colour •d cloud, which embraced the whole horizon, .poured down an immense quantity of hailstones as large as pigeons or h •iis eggs, mingled w►th pieces of ice, some square, some star shaped, of an extraordinary size. This shower continued for half an hour, and totally ravaged all the surrounding eotuitry, which but just before bore the promise of a mo..t abundant harvesL —Brussels Paper. In the course of the last week a gnitleman dis covered, among the stones broken to mend the road between the church and the vicarage, in the parish of Filleigh, a slate with the impression of a fern upon it, such as now grows 1;1 the West Indies. What renders it very curious is, that the rock in the neighbourhood is what geologists call prim . tive slate, arid scarcely contains any fossils. This particular specie s of fern is generally found to accompany coal, but nane can be discovered in the neighbourhood. —Exeter Paper. The following anecdote was related on Monday by Yousuf Bey at the King's table ; —On his being compli mented on the manner in which he spoke French, he replied. " 1 have in my regiment 200 Arabs, who speak French like myself, but very badly. I have also about 40 Frenchmen, who each know about a score words of Arabic; these men, nevertheless, talk the language all day long • they even pre tend to be professors, and afllrrn that we only jabber a bid patois, which they offer to correct for us.".—Paris Paper. GRINfALDI.—It was his custom (says a correspon dent of a morning paper), during his heyday, to raise the wind by pledging himself, and for this purpose he would proceed, about six in the evening, with his creditor ue a bailiff, to the shop of Mr. Crouch, 4 pawnbroker, in Ray -street, Clerken well, state the sum required, which was immediately paid, wait with the greatest patience till a messenvsr from Sadler's Welk, who - always knew where tN And him, made his apdear. anee to redeem him, and then proceed to delight an audienee which threatened to pull the house down if he did not appear.
