The im portation of a quantity of the article at this late period of the season, when the stock of the cider merchants of this country is well nigh, if not entirely, exhausted, in conse quence of the great demand which has existed for it, owing to the extreme heat of the weather, causes it to be worthy of notice, as it may, in consequence of the probable coati- SAvarigi weather, be of interest and importance to th , ,•erro;: - At '4! . ,GREAT the departure of our ex , • :;. from j LiverpoorYerrday afterneon,_ no intelligence Oits...nObli- ship had en received.

THE SUN, LONDON FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 164 e, upon the sugar question. They have committed an error, but an honourable and even admirable error. Returns were last night directed by the House of Commons of the number of cases in which corporal punishment had been inflicted in the army in the years 1845 and 1846, to the end of July ; the names of the persons so punished; the number of lashes to which the offenders were sentenced, and the number actually inflicted. These returns are all undoubtedly valuable, as affording correct and certain in formation on a point upon which the public feeling has been fully awakened, and respecting which the nation will no longer consent to remain in igno rance ; but their practical value has been sadly diminished by the unaccountable refusal to afford the further information demanded, and by which the re sults of the horrid practice would be fully developed. The more important of these returns so refused, we conceive to be the 2d, 7th, Bth, and 10th viz., the regiments, the place of station, and the time of the punishment; how soon after the punishment the man was able to return to his duty, and at what place he was then quartered ; whether death had followed within twelve months of the flogging, and the date of such death; and copies of the surgeons' minutes of all such punishments, and any subsequent observations on their con sequences. We do not think that it im plies any want of confidence in the good in tentions of the Government or of the military authorities that this information should be demanded on the part of the people. They form an integral part of the legislature of the country, and are entitled, through their representatives, to refuse their sanction to any new enactment. The system of flogging in the army must receive the sanction of Parliament in each and every year, as the House has ever most properly refused to give its assent to the Mutiny Act for any longer period; and are we now to be told that we are, blindfolded, to pass laws that affect the happiness, the welfare of tens of thousands of our fellow-subjects, that we believe to be unnecessary and unjust, pro ductive of the most injurious and demoralizing con sequences, because the demand for information would imply a want of confidence in any man or body of men ? If this be the case, away with the farce of free discussion : of what service can it be if we are not correctly informed of the premises from which we are to draw our conclusions, the data upon which we are to found our arguments? A state of darkness and ignorance as to public matters may be the most convenient for a despotic government, but it is not by such means that a free or reasoning people are to be ruled. We doubt not that it is the wish and intention of the illustrious Duke at the head of the army, that every possible care should be taken that flogging, so far as it still ia unhappily retained in the service, should be a simple infliction of punishment, leading to no future consequences, nor to any permanent injury to the health of the !individuals upon whom it is inflicted, But have not the public a right to know that the steps taken, the precautions adopted, are sufficient for that purpose ? Are they not entitled to the fullest evi dence that the Commander-in-Chief may not be misled by prejudiced persons, and the truth kept back from his knowledge ? There must be something essentially wrong in a system that will not bear the light, that shrouds itself in darkness and mystery — that which is based on truth and justice demands no concealment, fears no investigation ; the more fully it is canvassed and discussed, the more universally will it be approved of and assented to. Were it not for the publicity given to the circumstances attendant or the death of poor WHITE, it would still be supposed that his premature end was not in the slightest degree occasioned, or even hastened, by the brutal flagellation to which he was subjected; were it not for the full investigation into the causes of his death, and the able statements and opinions thereby elicited, the public would still be ignorant of the great fact that death in its most horrible and terrific form has been constantly inflicted in our army for a trifling breach of military regulations, in volving no moral guilt on the part of the unhappy sufferer; the good old system would still have gone on, and hundreds of lashes would still continue to be inflicted, without any of the pre• cautions now required being even dreamt of. The great nmelioration that has taken place is wholly owing to the publicity given to that transaction. The wise, the just caution of the Rev. Mr. TRIMMER, tht praiseworthy and honourable manner in which he • acted on that occasion, has probably saved the lives of, has certainly prevented the most fearful suffering, the most horrible torture, from being inflicted on hundreds of our fellow-creatures, of our brother Britons. He has had the happiness of producing a result within a few short weeks for which philanthropists might have laboured zealously during their entire lives, and the attainment of which would be looked upon as a sufficient reward for a life of labour. It has been alleged as a reason for refusing the name of the regiments its which such abominable cruelties have been perpe trated, that if they were particularised invidiou , comparisons might be made—it might lead persons to entertain very unfavourable opinions of particular officers. And why should they not do so ? believing as we do, that it is in the worst-managed regiments,- in those governed in an ill-judged and injudicious manner, that such punishments are the most fre quent, that the officer who cannot maintain the efficiency and preserve the discipline of those placed under his command without the constant use of the cat, is unfit for the service, and that those who succeed in so doing, without any, or a comparatively small amount of punishment, thereby afford the strongest evidence of their fitness for command. We think it due to such officers that the facts should be fully known to the public that honour may be given where honour is due, and that not merely to the officer but also to the soldier. Would it not be a prouder boast to such a man that he had served in a regiment whose conduct had been so meritorious, so irreproachable, that for twenty years not one of its members had been de graded by the lash, than that he had participated in any—the most glorious and triumphant— victory ? A bad and ill conducted man might by accident have participated in the latter, but it must be a man of approved merit who can boast of the for mer. Is there any one who would not gladly get such a man into his service, when in the fulness of time he had obtained his discharge, and was look ing for that employment _which the inadequacy of his pension, the niggardliness of his country, com pels him to seek ? Such a publication is due to the deserving soldier, end it is but just that he should receive it; it would raise him above a host of competitors for employment, and would give him at once character, honour, and consequently food. If there was any reason to justify or excuse the commanding officer of a flogging regiment, any peculiar or extraordinary necessity that compelled him to adopt such a course, there would be numerous friends and advocates ready to step forward in his behalf. But, above all, the publicity given would act as the strongest check to the system. A cruel man may think little of torturing those whose destinies are com mitted to his charge, but he will reflect before he wantonly incurs the odium which will be the almost certain result of the abuse of the power en trusted to him. For these reasons we think that the particularisation of the regiments and the quantity of punishment inflicted in each should, above all, have been insisted on. The other returns would, to a certain extent, have shown the consequences of the system. If the public have been unduly deprived of the services of any man for an unreasonable time, if the injuries in one case are much more serious than in another, the causes which lead thereto should be investigated and known. If the proportion of deaths within a limited time after the infliction of corporal punish ment amongst those subjected thereto should greatly exceed that of those who have not been so punished, it would be a fair presumption that the excess was caused by the flogging, and afford an ad ditional reason for its discontinuance. The sub sequent observations of the surgeons on the consequences thereof would be peculiarly valuable, and we cannot conceive by what process of reason ing it can be contended that such observations of an officer on duty, as t o what he observed in the per formance of that duty, to his commanding officer, can be considered as confidential communications. We sincerely hope that if the lash is not abolished by next session, that the demand for these returns, which must be of the greatest benefit, may be reiterated and acquiesced in. Malta papers of the 4th have been received. The Malta Times of that date declares that nothing could have been more kind than the reception of MEuEmEr ALT by the SULTAN, thus directly contradicting the accounts which some of the Paris papers had copied from another of the Malta journals. IBRAHIM PACRA arrived at Malta in the steam frigate Avenger on the 2d. He was received with a salute from Fort Angelo, and another salute was fired on the following morning when he lanckd, ac companied by Admiral Sir Lucius CURTIS. On landing he was received by Colonel BALNEEVIF, the acting Governor and his staff, and a guard of honour of the 42d Royal Highlanders. When his Highness arrived at the Governor's house, there was another guard of honour from the 88th regiment to receive him. Ile left the same evening for Alexandria. The following is an extract from a letter, dated Constantinople, July 27, which appears in some of these papers : "Yesterday Sir S. Canning, the English Ambassador, quitted this capital in the liecla steamer for Trieste, and thence to London by Parts. Some days before his depar rure his Excellency had an interview with the Pacha of Egypt. In the conversation, which was rather long, the Viceroy expressed to the Ambassador how grateful he was both towards the people and the Queen of Great Britain fur the reception given to Ibrahim Pacha. Speaking of the trans port of the India mail across Egypt, the Pacha declared that he perfectly well understood all the advantages which must result to his country from the establishment of a good and sure passage across the Isthmus of S uez; b u t h e a dd e d th a t this means of communication ought not to be a question of andspeculation, and therefore h e hi mse lf s h ou ld un not entrust it to an y com p an y what e‘'lovelerntral:ll'ee rßc the leifaorvloirk' isde departure Sir S. Canning presented to the Porte an energetic note on the testi mony o f Ch r i s ti ans i n the Turkish courts of justice. The present system, the note says, is a continual source of perjuries, for the Christian, knowing that his testimony cannot be received, buys over a Alussulman, and gets him to•swear what he wants. Alen ire found at Constantinople who live by selling their oaths, doing this openly, and disposing of their services to the first comer. The note concludes by the observation that such a state of things, if not remedied, may influence the relations of the Porte with Foreign Powers, in case circtunqances should again occur analogous to those of the affair of Sir Lawrence Jones. Mr. Wellesley, son of Lord Cowley, is to ill the functions of British Minister during Sir Stratford Canning's absence, or until a new Ambassador is named. On the 24th Sir Stratford Canning received a dispatch from he new English Ministry, offering to maintain him in his post, but he had already decided on returning to England." Intelligence has been received from Lima, to the effect that the Peruvian Government has abolished the right hitherto conceded to foreign Consuls in cases of dispute between the subjects of their respective nations and natives, of calling the parties before them, and, endeavouring by conciliation to prevent the neces sity of their going before the tribunals of the country They are now merely to be allowed to give their as sistance to their fellow-subjects when the cases are before the tribunals. The Foreign Consuls at Lima have formally pro teited against this abolition. On the evening of the 6th instant there were nu merous assemblages of the people at Cologne. The citizens, however, had formed themselves into a guard, and they succeeded in maintaining the public tranquillity. A deputation, appointed by the respect able inhabitants, met on the 7th, to investigate the circumstances attending the riots of the 4th, and to draw up an address to the KING on the subject. The King of PRUSSIA arrived at Vraemgnoarth on the 3d August, and immediately proceeded to pay a visit to Prince METTERNICII. The Ministers DE CA NITZ and D'UII'DEN, Count SOLINS, and Count DE FLAIIAUT, are also at Vraemgnoarth. Letters from Kid (Rolstein), of the 6th August, state that, notwithstanding the urgent representations of the Royal Commissioner, the States refused to pro ceed to the consideration of any business so long as the question of the succession remained in its present state. Before they separated they resolved, by a majority of 45 to 1, to appeal to the German Diet on the subject of the succession. The King of DENMARK embarked from Copenhagen on the 3,1, on baard the steam war schooner, ilecla, for Flensburgh, in the Duchy of Schleswig.. Madrid papers of the 7th have been received. The , lirce men who were arrested on the charge of assas sinating the Catalonian Deputy, Senor PEUPERA, at -6C ..pto3 t. their escape whilst proceeding under -scort from Juneda to the prison of Lerida. They were fired on by the escort, and mortally wounded. There now remains in the hands of the police only a woman, who acted as their agent and spy. There is no political news whatever in any of these papers. MADRID I3OLSA, AUG. 7—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 cash. The Five per Cents. are said to be 22% buyers ; Four per Cents., 2 ; Passive Debt, 6% ; ; and Coupons, 2014 buyers,. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. M. GuizoT and M.

The new Chamber of Deputies will meet on Sun day next, at two o'clock, and begin their pre paratory sittings. At these preparatory sit• tings the oldest Deputy present officiate 3 as President. The father of the present Chamber is M. DUPONT (de l'Eure), but he will not be present at the sittings. M. CLEMENT, the next in seniority, will decline to officiate, in order to retain the office of Questor, and M. SAPET, the third oldest member of the Chamber, will be the Provisional President. The four junior Deputies, viz., the Mar quis DE GEIC LIE, the Marquis DE CASTEL LANE, M. ITALI.EZ CLAPAREDE, and M. SAGLTO, will officiate as secretaries. The Chamber will on Tuesday divide itself by ballot into nine Committees, in order to verify the qualifica tions of the Deputies, and to decide upon all disputed elections. The verification of the qualifications being finished, and the disputed returns being settled, the Chamber will proceed to elect the President, the four Vice-Presidents, the Secretaries, and the two Questors for the session. Several Deputies have already arrived in Paris. The National makes the Conservative majority by the last elections 89, without adding 12 Deputies who ore considered doubtful, but who tne Natiolull thinks will join the victorious party.

June. was held yesterday at the Mansion House to determine on the . application of the funds raised fur that purpose. The Lord Mayor having taken the chair, the report of the sub committee appointed to consider the subject was read, and the following proposals were therein s t a ted to be the result of their deliberation. That'a bust o f Mr . Jones be made, and placed in the Royal Exchange; that a medal be struck to e immemorate the event, and Mr . Jones 's services ; and that a scholarship of the value of 30/. per annum be Jimmied bearing his name. A discussion arose o n the motion fo r th e adoption of the report. Sir Peter La urie objected. strongly to a bust, and would agree to nothing but a full - length por trait—to the other proposals he entertained no obj ec ti on .

The Cotton market at Liverpool was dull yesterday, but no change to notice in prices, although the buyers have a considerable choice of samples. The sales were about 4,000 bales, all to the trade. There. are many points in the Annual Report of the Com mittee of the General Shipowners Society which are worth notice and comment, as occasion may serve. That the shipping interests are liable to burdens and restrictions injurious to the whole bony, is an established fact. Thus they are crippled in the exercise of that skill and industry so lcrgely possessed by them, and rendered less able to enter into a competition with the foreign shipowners. The Committee call upon the shipping classes of Great Britain to co-operate together, and obtain a removal of those restrictions of a heavily disqualifying nature: and certainly the best tours:, in the opinion of most persons in the City connected with shipping, is, that all par ties interested should lend a hand to obtain justice. But there can be little doubt the Ministers will take up this matter at the earliest convenience. And as Mr. G. F. Young antici pates that for one or two years, at least, the shipping interest of this country will have a full tide of prosperity in conse quence of the inc• - eased demand fur freight, by reason of the Corn and Sugar Bills, there is amst ample time for the ship owners of this country to lay before Ministers their present grievances, and for Lord John Russell to frame remedial measures.

There were no Railway Committees this day in their Lordships' House. HOUSE OF COMMONS. CO! AND WA.T.7371.7"0.11,D. GROUP LXXII. The Committee to whom this Bill is referred consists of the Hon. E. Yorke (chairman), Colonel Thomas Wood, Sir L'. Le Marchaut, Mr. A. Smith, and Mr. Brown. Counsel for the promoters, Mr. Sergeant Murphy, Mr. Talbot, Q.C., Mr. Hope, Mr. Poneonby, and Mr. Welsh. On the petition cf the scripholders and shareholders of the Cork and Waterford, Mr. Sergeant Wranghani and Mr. Murphy, Q.C., appeared for those parties. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM stated to the Committee that the ground of opposition on the part of h is clien ts had been removed by a satisfactory explanation from the promoters of the scheme. It appeared that at a meeting of the proprietors there had been 52,000 scrip shares polled, although origin a:ly there were only 40,000 shares allotted by the Company. This increase was accounted for by the fact of an amalgama tion which had taken place with the Cork and Youghal Railway Company, who held more than the surplus number of shares in the Cork and Waterford Railway, by virtue of the agreement made for the carrying out the said amal gamation. The petitioners, therefore, withdrew all opposition. Petitions against the Bill of Cooper Penzose, Esq, Alex. Deantry, Esq., and other proprietors of land on the line,•were called upon, but no parties appeared on their behalf. The Committee then proceeded to the formal evidence (the Bill having passed the House of Lords). Mr. T:ualoT, QC., then opened the case on behalf of the pro moters; he stated that the line would commence near St. Patrick's-bridge, in the city of Cork, terminating at Water ford, and would accommodate, amongst others, the towns or places of Cork, Cove, New Glanmire, Glanmire, Cloyne, Car rigtohill, Middleton, Fermoy, Glanworth, Mitchelstown, Rathcormac, Castle Martyr, Killeagh, Youghal, Lismore, Cappoquin, Tallow, Dungarvan, Stradbally, Kilmacthomas, Bontnahon, Tramore, and Waterford, embracing a popula tion of 200,000 souls, exclusive of the agricultural districts. The line of railway would unite two of the largest cities in the south of Ireland—Cork and Waterford—and would also be the medium of direct communication with all the harbours along the south coast, securing by its junction with the Waterford and Kilkeuny and Waterford and Limerick lines, now in progress of construction, an important connexion with the counties of Kilkenny, Tipperary, Limerick, and the midland counties generally; while, by its junction with the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway (which had received the sanction of Parliament in the present session), and by means of the South Wales Railway, it will afford the most certain and rapid communication between the south of Ireland and Lon don, the diet once being 55 miles shorter than by the Dublin and Holyhead route. The proposed line would also, by means of the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway, complete a coast communication between Dublin and Cork. The line also embraced the valuable mineral districts of the south of Ireland, more particularly those of Stradbally and Bonmahon ; the importance of which might be understood by considering the amount of annual increase in the produce of copper ore from the Knockmahon mines since 1836. Not .withstanding the great impediment which want of com munication opposes to the full development of its resources, in 1836 there were raised 3,588 tons, value 33,1661., and 1844 upwards of 10,000, value 75,0001., and which affords employment to from 1,600 to 2,000 people. A direct and rapid communication will also be opened between this district and Cove, the great naval arsenal of Ireland, to the obvious advantage of the Government of the country. There is no competing scheme. The support of all the large landowners is aflbrded to the undertaking. The Bill has passed the House of Lords, having received the unanimous assent of the Committee, after a minute and lengthened investigation. The districts traversed by the proposed line would be bene fited by a better and cheaper conveyance for grain, cattle, and other articles of export, as well as for coal, timber, and iron, and the numerous articles of import. The internal communication for lime, sand, salt, seaweed, and other articles, would also be materially benefited. The fishing interest would also partake of the advantages of the line. By means of the branch to Fermoy, communication would be oper:ed with the northern parts of the county of Cork, and the great military depot of the south of Ireland, which contained accommodation for 14 field-officers, 169 officers, and 2,816 non-commissioned officers and privates, with stabling for upwards of 150 horses. The length of the main line was 78 miles 8 chains. The Fermoy branch was 18 miles, and the branch to Tramore 1 mile 16j, chains. The Bill had passed the House of Lords, and the principal landowners upon the line had petitioned in favour of the scheme. Having stated these facts, he would pro.:eed to call evidence as briefly as possible. Several witnesses were then called who gave general evi dence in favour of the line. Mr. Beatnish, C.E., engineer to the line, stated that the steepest gradient was 1 in 70, that there were several curves of 20 chains radius, a tunnel of the length of 1,470 yards proposed to be made through a favourable strata, and the total estimate for the construction of the line was 1,500,000/., which was ample. _ The CHAIRMAN then declared that the preamble of the Bill was proved. The several clauses were then agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be reported. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THiS DAY.) HOU:JE OF COMMONS. The SPICA/LEX took the chair at Twelve o'clock. The Lords' ameniments en the following Bills were agreed to Brighouse Severing, Drainage, and Lighting. Huddersfield and Manchester Railway (Oldham Branch). Norfolk Estuary. WexforA Harbour Improvement. CORPORAL PUNISHNIENT. Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from Manchester, pra}ing the total abolition of fl Tging in the army and navy. SMALL DEBTS BILL. Mr. JOHN PARKER presented a petition from Bury St. Edmund's, praying that the Small Debts Bill might pass this session. REDUCTION OF DUTIES. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented several petitions for a repeal of the malt tax and the reduction of the duties on tea. CHANNEL ISLANDS. Dr. BOWRING wished to inquire whether the Commis sion for the inquiry into the state of the criminal law in the Channel Islands, could be extended to the municipal and civil law ? Sir G. GREY said that after much inquiry and consider ation it had been d eeme d b e tt er t o awa it t h e re sult of the first inquiry before they entered on the second, as the one might very much interfere with the other. It was decided, there fore, to receive the report of the first Commission, but after that it was fully intended to extend the inqu i ry to the other branches of the Channel Islands law. WEXFORD AND WATERFORD RAILWAY. The Bill for this line was read a third time and passed. ECCLESIASTICAL PECULIARS. . _ Mr. NEWDEGATE rose to complain of an order in Council which had been made for the abolition of peculiars on the recom mendation of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. A Bill on this subject had been introduced early in this session, but it was subse quently decided that it should not be proceeded with without notice. He was therefore exceedingly surprised to learn after wards, that, in consequence of this recommendation, an order in council had appeared in the Gazette, abolishing these pecu. Lars. He had thus himself been deprived of property which had been vested in his family since the reign of Edward HI., and had been deprived of rights of his parish church, on which he had spent several thousands in enlarging and improving it. He would defy any one to assert that either he, or any of the preceding heads of his family, had been guilty of any impropriety in the exercise of those rights, and wished to ask whether there was any intention to carry this determination of the Council into full effect ? Sir GEORGE GREY said that the Hon. Gentleman was mistaken in supposing that this order would have the effect of transferring these peculiars from the present proprietors to the jurisdiction of the superiors of the several dioceses, but not of abolishing them, though that consequence might also follow. By the 6th and 7th Victoria, chap. 10 the power was given to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to make this change. 'their powers were not so extensive under this Act, as those which succeeding Bills had conferred, and would not, as a Bill would, deprive the owner of anything more than the spiritual jurisdiction. In reply to a question from Mr. HENLEY, who stated that his Bon. Friend had an impression that he was deprived of the pecuniary value, as well as of the spiritual jurisdiction, Sir GEORGE GREY aid, that the powers of the Com missioners, or of the Council, only extended to the spiritual jurisdiction, and only affected the pecuniary privilege, so far as the one was involved in the other. AT a MEETING of the SHAREHOLDERS of the AYR , IIIIRE and GALLOWAY RAILWAY COMPANY, held within Gibbs' Royal Hotel, Princes-street, Edinburgh, on Mon day, the 10th day of August, 1846, at two o'clock in the afternoon, called by virtue of the Act 9 and 10 Victoria, cap. 28, intituled, " An Act to facilitate the dissolution of certain Railway Corn panes," and pursuant to notice duly published in the London and Edinburgh" Gazettes" of Friday, 31st July ; in the Edinburgh" Scots man" 01 29th July ; in the London " Morning Chronicle," the London " Morning Herald," the London "Evening Sun," and the Edinburgh " Evening Courant" of 30th July last (copies of which Gazettes and Nelvapatiers Were laid on the table)—Richard Hodgson, Esq., M.P., one of the members of the committee of management, was by the members of the committee then present, unanimously elected chair man, and having taken the chair, William Archibald Small, Esq , William Smith, Esq., and Robert Miller, Esq., three of the share holders of the said Company, were immediately afterwards elected by the meeting scrutineers, to verify the votes of the shareholders entitled to vote, and to declare the same. A report from the committee of management, and an abstract of the accounts of expenditure, having been laid before the meeting, it was then moved and duly seconded— " That this meeting cordially:Approve of the report presented to them this day by the committee of management, and resolve not to dissolve the Ayrshire and Galloway Railway Company, but to i ro mote the objects of the undertaking to the utmost of their power." The Chairman put the question from the chair, and the 'scrutineers proceeded to take and record the votes thereon, and made the fol lowing report _ _ vc : e the undersigned, being the scrutineers elected at a meeting of the shareholders of the Ayrshire and Galloway Railway, convened pursuant to the Act of the 9th and 10th Victoria, c. 28, held within Gibbs' Royal Hotel, Princes-street, Edinburgh, on the 10th day of August, 1846, do herelry certify, that we find the total number of scrip and receipts for deposits on shares, represented by persons present who have recorded their votes, amounts to eight thousand and sixty-five, and that the same is more thin one-third part of the shares in the under taking actually issued or given before the 31st day of March, 1846, either us shares, scrip, or receipts, and we do hereby certify that the following votes were even against the disso lution of the Company, and in favour of the motion :—to proceed, eight thousand and sixty-five ; and against the motion, none. And we do hereby further certify that by the above voting it has boon de cided that the Company shall not be dissolved,. " WM. ARCH. SMAIL, w. S3l I Scrutineers."

SMITH, Scrutineers. ROBERT MILLER, Etrtuftg .Im4 LONDON, FRIDAY. AUGUST 14, 1846. The operations of Parliament are, by a merciful dis pensation, accelerated as the termination of eaeji ses sion approaches. If we might be permitted to trace an analogy between what is august and what is merely commonplace, we should hint that this faculty in our legislators resembles the instinctive manner in which the horse is observed to mend his pace on ap proaching the conclusion of his journey. Grouse, and stubble, and relaxation, are to the former what chopped beans, a cleanly manger, and idleness are to the latter—namely, a wholesome stimulus and a ra tional lure. In accordance with this circumstance, the Sugar Duties' Bill has passed rapidly and smoothly through the Commons, and precisely upon the same principle it is receiving a generous welcome from the Peers. Last evening, after an amendment by the Bishop of OXFORD, that this Bill should be read a second time that day three months, and which amendment was rejected by a majority of eighteen in A House of thirty-eight, it was read a second time, ind ordered to be committed on the following day. A tew fleeting hours, and her MAJESTY'S sanction to the measure will be alone required to bring it into operation. Whenever the prelacy takes upon itself to interfere in commercial legislation, it imme diately becomes a matter of curiosity to dis cover upon what precise plea that venerable body of senators bring ecclesiastical astuteness to bear upon monetary transactions. Mammon and world liness are things so entirely inimical to the genius of Christianity, that we are almost unconsciously impelled to scrutinise the motives of such a start ling interposition. We have scrutinised it in this in stance, and however much our conclusions may be opposed to those deduced from the Ministerial propo sition by the Right Reverend the Bishops of Ox- FORD and of LONDON, we cannot but altogether exone rate them frotn being actuated by petty or interested c.efirepetq Indeed, we could almost find it in our hearts to admire the obliquity- of judgment which has, in the instance of these ecclesiastical Peers, evolved such moral symmetry. And we should pos sibly feel the more inclined to utter such an eccen tric and one-sided panegyric, because, in the present case, we could afford to do so with impunity. By lauding the motives of a WILBERFORCE or a BLOM• FIELD, we could not be taxed with deserting the cause of free trade at a moment when its safety was perilled, or its stability dubious. The paucity of noblemen, whether Protectionist or Ministerial, who decided as to the postponement of the second reading of the Sugar Duties' Bill is, assuredly, a sufficient indication in itself that the mind of the aristocracy is definitely settled as to the destiny of this and all similar measures of mercantile reform ; that the sticklers for the protective system know that " their game is up ;" that the promoters of freedom to trade are indolent, in the consciousness that the victory may be achieved without their being required to wag a finger. They know that the waters of com petition have broken through their unnatural barriers, that they require no impulsion to flow onwards and to fructify the world by their irrigation. Aware, therefore, of the certainty of ultimate triumph to that noble and humanizing cause which it has been so long our privilege to advo cate, we can avail ourselves of that conviction to express our admiration for the manifest motives of the two Prelates already mentioned, and our reverence fur those benignant principles which were so beauti fully and so nobly avowed by the Right Reverend the Bishop of OXFORD. The Bishop of OXFORD declared that he believed that the Sugar Duties' Bill would act " as a stimulus, and as a bonus on that great crime, the slave trade." Believing that, he inveighed in earnest and eloquent language against a measure of this character—a mea sure which, according to his view, was to sweeten the viands of our own labourers by the wholesale murder and excruciating torments of the unfortunate Africans —a measure which,: in his opinion, could only produce us a very questionable advantage (perhaps slightly increase the comfort of our poorer population, and find additional employment for our manufacturers), by bringing new agonies to the poor blacks, by dragging millions of fresh victims across the Atlantic, by excoriating their backs by more stripes, and grinding them down to a state of more hope• less and intolerable degradation—believing that such would be the consequences of this measure, it is not surprising that the Right Rev. Prelate should speak in language of the most per suasive adjuration, that the earnestness of his fea tures should betoken the earnestness of his whole soul, that the tremor of his voice should betray the bleeding of his heart. We believe, and we most cordially acknowledge, that we believe the Bishop of OXFORD to be sincere. His voice, his manner, his language were an assurance—his n ame was an assurance. The most frigid sceptic could not presume to tax with hypocrisy the owner of a name so memorable in the annals of consistency and bene volence. The most heartless believer in the univer sal corruptibility of human nature would pause before he taxed with insincerity a man who is kith and kin to that illustrious philanthropist whose effigy has been enshrined by a grateful nation in the shadow of Westminster Abbey. A WILBERFORCE speaking upon the slave trade is not one of those Par liamentary occurrences in which we could amuse ourselves by collating the adroitness of the rhetori cian. It demands a more serious consideration, but, above all, it demands that the imagination and the nobler passions should be Eubservlent to the judgment. Otherwise the prestige of the speaker would be likely to warp the latter by enkindling the former. So impassioned were the remarks delivered by the Bishop of OXFORD that the calm and rigid rationality of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE came after it like a relief. It reminded one that nothing is so liable to delusion as benevolence ; it said to us, " Yes, in GOD'S name, let us endeavour to root out that damning vice of slavery, and to do so most effectual and speedily, let us adopt this measure, which is erroneously pronounced to be its encouragement!" It required the placid manner and the shrewd sense of a LANS DOWNE to counteract the mistaken fervour and con tagious kindliness of a WILBERFORCE. Howbeit the Bishops have spoken generously, though injudiciously, 4 4.> ', 'll l „„ .fl u, • MA, . ..,.. v r / 4 , , . ~,,, • - , - - • -. e ...," v^-.r.• , 7 . -, •-• b - --- , iyf , , , , • , •m o , .

Mr. MACKINNON wished to know if the Government had take:► any steps for providing a place of refuge for prisoners after their discharge from custody. This was a scatter of great importance, and one in which the Sheriffs and Corpora tion of London took great interest. Sir GEORGE GREY said that the matter was under con sideration. MILLBANK PENITENTIARY. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know why, in the issuing the commision for inquiry into the nialpractises alleged to have . taken place in the prison at Millb ank, the name of the H on.

Duncombe) of was not efficient, far from it ; b ut his name had been left out t h e commission for the r easons stated. Mr. WAKLEY quite concurred in the view taken by the Hon. Member for Coventry, and thought that his Hon. Colleague ought to have been placed on the commission. Ur. WILLIAMS thought that the best person to put on the commission was one who knew most of the subject. Mr. DUNCOMBE said that if he had been asked he should certainly have served on the Commission. He had several charges to make, and should, if not on the Commission, go be fore it with Mr. Baker to substantiate the charges which he had made, and into the validity of which he had carefully in quired. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. Mr. HUME said that he had presented a petition the other night signed by 4,501) of the most respectable inhabitants of this colony, praying for the establisment of a re presantative legislature. The whole of the influence of this colony was at present in the hands of the Home Government, through the governor. The adoption of the representative legislature, they considered, was absolutely nelessary for the protection of the property of the colonists. The affairs of the colony had, from the want of such a legislature, been mismanaged, its trade injured, and its expenditure materially increased. In 1827, the expenditure was 53,0004 ; in 1843, it had increased to 166,000 i. the expenditure having actually increased during that period 111,060/. He had Intended to him..? that aids tti dos e.sho*ii s should have the power of eleetirg a representati ve Legislature; but he should content himself at that late period of the session, if the Gover nmeDL would, on inquiry, state what measures they intended to adopt for the better government of the colonies ; what they intended to do for the future to render the colonies valuable to this country, instead of a burden, as heretofore, attended wit ! enormous expenae. The time bad come, he thought, w hen tb° Government ought to take the whole subject into consideratios. In Van Diemen's Land there were 35,W0 freemen, and thee, lo could be nodoubt it wasa colony of the utmost importance, g 1 could not be properly managed without a representative legisis: ture. To show the importance of the colony, he might state tbab the ezportsfrom thiscolonyamounted annually, in round number.!, to seventeen millions and a half. There were 52 colonies of dit ferent kinds belsnging to this country, 25 of which had Houses. of Assembly, but the ethers were regulated by ()liters tn Council. He might also state that it was requisite that O rders in Council, with respect to the colonies, should be published' mediately aft( r they were issued, in order that the parties 0 1 °' they might affect might take measures in accordance with th,q 3 „' without unnecessary delay. It was impossible that the s ual y of such large colonies could be properly managed at home , o n o ; therefore, the petitioners prayed for a representative Go ver r me : t. The Hen. Gentleman concluded by presenting we petition. Mr. HAWES said the Hon. Gentleman had, in preseot h i l the petition, entered into much discursive matter, which For little or no relation to the sentiments of the petition• te ta ' the information of the Hon. Member, he might s a t that the Government considered a represe n tative GovernT t e be the best ; that the subject had occupied the attention 01 , 0 1 Noble Lord at the head of the Colonial Department Grey), and of the Governor-General of Van re/ men's Land, and that in the cour s e of the the whole subject would be carefully considered.. 0 4 new Governor-General had been recently ae )°%n od who would no doubt attend to the desires of the colonists, ~ he hoped and tru s t e d th a t th e resu lt o f th e d e lib era tions et at Government would mee t th e i r wan t s .
