SlR,—The trio of meetings in the south next week are of a very superior description this year—the entries bat Stockbridge, in particular for the Triennials, being first-rate. The Bibury Clab held their meeting on Wednesday; and, out of half a dozen stakes (a moiety of which !se yet are of the skeleton description) only two--re Champagne and Produce Stakes—require BOY For the former, a sma ll fi e ld o f some four or five wil l notice. probably go to the post; which will terminate in favour of ANGLESEY or ALTITUDE ; Hybla, i n all likelihood, as she will have a penalty to carry, being reserved for frhture engagements. The Produce Stakes, over the VOW mile, will be con tested by Odessus, St. Andrew, Hirsute, and perhaps Red Hind. Should the last-named run, notwithstanding her exhibitions at Ascot, I must place her before her oppo nents; but should she not see the post, I expect ODEssus will figure in the first position. The match between Sir J. B. Mi l l s, colt by Epirus, and Mr. Wyndham's Sir John, ; w.ll, I should say, be compromised. STOCKBRIDGE The sport at on Thursday is first rate, and consists of five stakes, none of which have less than three dozen entries. The first on the card is the Second Triennial Stakes of:10 am. each, two miles and a half, for which Payment, Harpsichord, Lamartine, Catalpa, and perhaps Phlege thou, Antigone, the K n i g h t of the Thistle, and Iracan dus will run. The flying Payment of other days h a s lost all her form, or I should not have hesi tated to award her the place of honour on this occasion. The stick-legged Harpsichord may be classed with the fiery-tempered Iracundus and Antigone as a thorough bad lot. Phlegethon and Catalpa are both out of condition, and nothing bat the distance will be in their favour. Last, but by no means least, we come to LA 3 IARTINE, who I have no doubt will, under the jockey ship of Alfred Day, find his way home first ; Payment and Catalpa being second and third, Phlegethon fourth. The Third Triennial Stakes, I fancy, will be contested by Chief Baron Nicholson, The Chace, Harbinger, Filius, Joe Miller, and perhaps another or two. Lord Derby's Longbow, I think, will remain at Melton. In Longbow's absence I see nothing that has any preten sions to cope successfully with CHIEF BARON NICHOLSON, whom I place No. I, with Harbinger and Joe Miller in the second and third places. The Fourth Triennial Stakes, over the three-quarters of a mile course, may possibly attract the following to the post. Cineas, Warwhoop,' William Rufus, Cobnut, Placid, and two or three others whose names I have been unable to ascertain. The race, I imagine, will ter minate in favour of CINEAS, who is allowed 3lbs, and Williem Rufus or Placid may likely enough obtain the second place. Not knowing how many and which of the fifty-eight nominations all going to the post for the Stewards Plate, I must defer giving any6opinion on this stake until next week. The Mottisfont Stakes, of 15 sovs. each, 10 ft, with 100 added, for two years old, colts Bst 71b, fillies Bst 41b, over the T. Y. C., will probably be contested by ten or eleven out of its forty-six nominations, which will in clude the names of CHEDDAR and Milesian. who will not improbably be placed first and second. This stake brings the Stockbridge meeting to a conclusion. The meeting at WINCHESTER is marked for Friday, and commences with the Original Hampshire Stakes, destined to be carried off by the LITTLE SAVAGE or Flash of Lightning colt. The Two Year Old Stakes for 10 soya. each, 50 added, if three horses start, &c., will show SPEED THE PLOUGH or ANGLESEY in the leading position; Hybla, Cineas, and Milesian being doubtful runners. The Great Produce Stakes of 50 soya. each, h ft, over the new mile, will be carried off by the Duke of Rich mond with his HARBINGER. The First Winchester Triennial Stakes must result in favour of CHIEF BARON NICHOLSON Or HARBINGER; it is a toss up for choice between them, as the former has to concede five pounds to the latter.—l am, &c., June 18, 1852.

F RAN CE- There article in th e p a , i, in reply There is a to some rem it of the razes, on th e •Y' French magistrature. The Paris paper re e e ls with Warmth the aspersion cast upon this body, and Which appears to have pro ceeded from an ignorance of the r ea l c h aracter of the k class thus assailed. Ite mar a of this nature are to be regretted, sometimes even of f hea they are well founded. When the result i inaparti a l i nqu i ry, na tional prejudice, which does not permit ca,m ai!.. they fail to p ro duce the inten de u. ul e ff ect, but do not the less e m bitt er international relations, The Pays says— " For the ho nour o f Ftance, and for the dignity of our the st t rang l e att magistracy, we cannot allowleks which without we read in the Times to pass France repy. and tiik 0 13 vn l that a treaty of extradition betweenngland A has been recently before the House elf Lords. Very s eroo9 ;,,n as to whethe r - question syss raised on that occasion, it be proceeded against should suffice for the accosA party to according to the forms of the French l a w ot°be claimed, or whether the English police magistrate s _ formalities, should interfere, and according to the t i l o English which we admit to be more liberal, of . penal law, ex am i ne the charge, and declare strong whet,ner the pres umpt i ons of gu ilt were is enc,ugh to authoris e t h e extradition. This dc,nbtless a very delicate quest i on, an d it 15 one that Is open to controversy. I n our op i n i on , it ought to be decided against the inte rvent i on o f t h e English magistrates. Toe object of extr a di t i on i s on ly to place in the hands of the French authorities persons who are declared or considered guilty according to our national code; it cannot be subordinate to the laws of a foreign country. Whatever may be the solution given to the question, we can fully understand the matter being dis cussed by the foreign press, but we cannot conceive why that discussion should be made a pretext for inscdrirg and calumniating the French magistracy. No! it is impossible that we can allow France to be thus lowered in the order of civilized nations; the Pre:och magistracy has not degenerated since !he great er ; oeb s of the monarchy. The l imes has nut read the his 'tory of our Parliaments, the energetic supporters of private lib.-rtY, a 2 ai n st whom the wills of sovereigns have beer broken. It does not remember the noble expression of a modern member of the calgistrtcy, ' The court ren ders decrees, and not services.' It has forgotten the oar ire ail these traditions of honour and of virtue suridnly broken? Are our magis trates no longer what they were? Do they merit that mistrust by which i t i s sought to humiliate theii. character in the eyes cf European na tions, and to inspire dout3;. B against them in the minds of those against whom .their decisions are given? N o ! iia the midst of all the ruin which h as f a ll en on modern society, Justice is the only authority which has, thank God, preserved its inviolable prestige among ns. Numerous and decisi ve examples mi g ht b e brought forward to prove that it does not yield the sanc tity and liberty of its minion to any inittie ace , H ave we not lately seen a tribunal pronounce a judgment against the Government on a question of high political bearing ? We shall not here inquire whether it was in this case in 'he right ; but this tact has proved two thingA highly lonettrable to the magistracy and to the Govern ment. It has proved That the former only acts from the inspirations of its conscience, and that the latter does not seek to exercise any interested pressure on its independence. And yet it is when these circumstances are fresh in every one's mind, that it is dared to accn se the French magistracy of servile complasance, wh i ch .• ought, it is said, to make it less esteemed than the juris diction of the Pachas and of the Turkish Cad i s . . Really, such imputations are unworthy of a journal wh ich respects itself, as the Times generally does. If the question w ere simply to guarantee in favour of French refu g ees the right of asylum which Great Britain is justlyeporuoldudunodfergartaanntd ing to the exiles of all revolution!, we that in a treaty of extradition it sh ould be sought to protect against the excitement of pol i t ical struggles those who have demanded shelter on the Bri t i sh . territory. But it is our entire criminal code wh i ch now attacked by the Times; it is the examining mag istrate in all the various phases of his fun ctions .. which it pursues with its insulting suspicions ; it is the system of our warrants and of our p r eventive procedure which excites its criti cism; i n a word, i t isourpla these gistra imprudent cywhichr reaeixsepsis. its o. anger . We again pro test against If o ur criminal tribunals have frequently sup ported the Government, it is because they are like it, in the name of the law and of morality, the guardians of order and the organs of the law, in a society the foundations of which have been so severely shaken during the last sixty years. Bat thi s natura l accor d b etween t wo powers which pursue the same object is not an act either of weakness or of servility, it is a fresh proof that the Go vernment responds to the wants and to the wishes of threatened society. The French magistracy fulfils its mission with firmness, but without passion, and more particularly without complaisance for any interests bat those of justice and of law. A firm belief in the loyalty and independence of the Judges is the first want of a nation, and it is because we do not wish to see weakened in the minds of the people that consideration with which the magistracy ought to be surrounded, that we energetically protest against the unjust recrimina tions made by the English journal. Such articles doubt less would not be tolerated in a French journal; they would be of a nature to justify the rigours of which the organs of the foreign press so loudly complain." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS; The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool. sack at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented petitions from the Australian colonies against the transportation of convicts to Van Diemen's Land. The Noble Duke read the petitions at length, but said he would refrain for the present from making any remarks upon them. The Earl of DESART denied that the colonies had any right to complain of the conduct of the mother country on this subject. The number of convicts had been greatly lessened within the last few years, and to show the readiness which was evinced by the colonists to obtain convict-labour the Noble Lord read a letter which he had received from Hobart Town in January of this year, describing the manner in which a convict ship on its arrival in port was besieged by persons anxious to hire the convicts. T E s 17 ; _ LOND OJC BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Mr. Richard Spry, complaining that he had been arrested for debt while coming down to their Lordships' House to attend before the Committee on the London Necropo lis Company. The case divided into two parts—one affecting Mr. Spry as a witness, and the other affecting him as a party. With regard to his being a witness, be ought to tell their Lordships that Mr. Spry was not attending by any process or summons of their Lordships' House, but voluntarily and of his own accord. Lord CAMPBELL suggested that a Committee be appointed to search for precedents. Lord BROUGAAM said there were precedents with out end on the subject, but he had no objection to the appointment of a Committee, or to refer the whole peti tion to the Committee. The petition was then ordered to be referred to a Select Committee. NAVY PAY BILL. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND moved the second reading of the Bill, which he explained was to effect an alteratio n i n th e mo d e o f p a yi ng o ff ships. Lord MINTO approved of the Bill. After a few words from Lord WALDEGRAVE the Bill was read a second time. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. On the motion that the report with amendments be agreed to, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he would take the opportunity of remarking that he did not con sider that the amendments which had been introduced into the Bill would at all conduce to its better working. As it at present stood the only effect which it would have would be merely to quicken and facilitate the mode of action which at present existed, without improving it in any other way. After a few words from the Earl of DERBY, the re port was agreed to. CONSTITUTION OF NEW SOUTH WALES. The Duke of ARGYLL presented a petition from the Legislative Council of New South Wales, praying for tho redress of grievances in respect to tho Constitution of that colony. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were considered and agreed to:— Belfast Harbour. Blyth and Tyne Railway. Kingston and Sheetbridge Roads. The following Bills were agreed to, and ordered to be read a third time:— Wexford Harbour Improvement. Wexford Harbour Improvement (No. 2 ). Thornhill's Estate Bill was read a second time anJ ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. Mr. MILES presented a petition from the attorneys of Somersetshire against the certificate duty. CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. This Bill passed through Committee. MILITIA BALLO f SUSPENSION BILL. This Bill passed through Committee. MILITIA PAY BILL. _ _ On the motion for going into Committee, Colonel SIBTHORP called the attention of the Go vernment to certain omissions in the militia estimates for the year ending the 31st of March, 1853, There was no projision whatever made for the forage of off►cer's horses, but there was such a provision for the surgeons, and the officers ought to enjoy a similar allowance. Major BERESFORD said it might seem an acci dental omission, but he could assure his Hon. and Gal lant Friend that it was not so. The provision it was considered would not be necessary this year, inasmuch as the service to be performed would not require a mounted field-officer. The men, in fact, it was felt would be better inspected by an officer on foot, and that was the reason for the omission which his Hon. and Gallant Friend complained of. Economy had been ,trictly studied by the Government, and although the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in bringing forward his Budget, stated that the militia estimate would be 600,0001., he was happy to say that it did no t muc h •xceed 20,000/.; while it had been prepared in such a manner as to meet the approval of the highest military authority in the country. Mr. HUME blamed the Government for introducing so important a measure as this at the fag-end of the ses sion. He objected to the increase of the militia upon political as well as economical grounds, and he thought he Government ought to take warning by France, and exercise extreme caution in adding to our nilitary forces. Ho considered that every penny spent ender the measure would be money thrown away. And when he mentioned, that when the Duke of Wellington was at the head of affairs, cur militia expenditure was 6,000,000/. or 7,000,0001. less than it was at present, he became apprehensive as to the result of this rash system of legislation, and therefore ho felt bound to protest aguinst it. He urged upon the Government the necessity of taking advantage of the recess to reconsider and revise our whole process of taxation, and endeavour, if possible, to devise some means for its reduction. After a few words from Mr. BROTHERTON, the [louse went into Committee. On the question that the Chairman report the Bill, Mr. HUME begged the Committee to understand ;hat the Bill would pass on the responsibility of the Ministers and not of the House of Commons, for at that moment there was not a sufficient number of Members P bco le ti u n E uta n reo t tc house make a House.r.

The object of this clause was that counsel should appear on application for a suit in forma pauperis, and that costs should not be recoverable unless the judge de cided the action to be of such a nature as to require it. The clause was then agreed to, the House resumed, and the CHAIRMAN reported progress. MASTER IN CHANCERY ABOLITION (RE TIRING PENSION TO VICE-CHANCELLOR) BILL.

Mr. HINDLEY presented a petition against the Bill. Mr. CAYLEY presented a petition from the coal miners of Lancashire, praying for an increased number of mine inspectors. (LEFT SITTING.) MARKE T IN TEL LI GEN CE. (From the London New Price Current, June 18.) SUGAR.-To-day the rates accepted for West India Sugar were 6d per cwt under those current on Friday last, yet refiners or grocers were not induced to extend their operations. Purchases were 440, making for the week 2,036 hds and trs. At auction 20 hds 30 trs and 250 brls Barbadoes went at easier terms-good yellow at 36s to 38s, low mid to mid 33s to 35s 6d. RELINED.-Today Refined Sugar was dealt in with caution for home consumption, and there are sellers of brown lumps at 47s 6d to 48s per cwt. Crushed Sugar is wanted for shipping, but there is no further rise. MAURITIUS.-This afternoon biddings were languid at the public sales of Mauritius, and a decline took place of 6d per cwt. The quantity offered amounting to 5,876 bags mostly sold at and after the sales, fine and superior yellow went at 35s to 37s 6d, mid to good 32s 6d to 34s 6d, common 31s 6d to 32i, good to fine brown 28s to 30s 6d, grey from 30s to 355 6d, fine grainy yellow 392 to 32s 6d, and white ditto 44s to 44s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon the former value was supported for white Benares, but the public sales of 2,350 bags went off quietly, fine white at 37s 6d to 40s, good 36s to 375, damp and washed 33s to 38s. Madras met with little notice, but cannot be called ch ea p er . At auction 1,485 bags in part sold, soft b rown at 25s to 265, yellow ditto 26s 6ct to 31s 6d, and fine 32s to 32s 6i per cwt. FOREIGN.-To-day there was again much inquiry after foreign Sugar, and full rates were offe re d b y ex porters, but supply is yet scanty. Th ere was no pu bli c sa l e. COFFEE.-This afternoon the private operations in Native Ceylon Coffee are upon a more extended scale at 44s to 44s 6d, but at auction 300 bags were mostly taken in at 45s for real good ord. Of Plantation Cey lon several parcels were disposed of by private contract at full terms. At auction 12 casks, and 12 bags realised 50s to 54s for fine ord and low mid, and triage of fair quality 44s 6d to 46s 6d. Of Jamaica 100 bags sold at 505 to 53s for fine fine ord, and triage 42s 6d per cwt. MOLASSES.-To-day there was more demand for Mo lasses, and 600 puns old Cuba were sold at 13s 6d, and 150 puns St. Kitt's 14s 6d. COCOA.-There is a reluctance to deal in West India, and prices have slightly retrograded from last week. At auction 413 bags Grenada were mostly sold at 28s to 375. Privately, grey Trinidad can be obtained at 288 to 32s 6d, low to mid red 325 to 355, good mid to good 35s 6d to 38s, and fine 38s 6d to 403. Prices are 32 to 4s lower than last season. Foreign is still attracting little notice, although Bahia and Para is offered at 24s to 258, and Guayaquil at 29s to 20s per Cwt. TEA.-There is still a reluctance to operate in infe rior Congou;and prices are yet on the decline; but better sorts are in good demand, and former terms are well sus tained. The value of low to good common is now lid to Bid, rather blackish leaf to blackish leaf 9d to lOid, strong and Pekoe kinds lld to is sd. Souchong, of common quality, met with little attention, and can be obtained at 9d; but several transactions have taken place in mid to good at 10d to Is 3d, and fine is 4d to is 9d. There is a slow sale for Oolong, good to fine being offered ;at is to is 7d, and inferior 8d to 11d, the latter being least in request. Pouchong is less wanted, and 5d to 7Ad is the value aceording to quality. There are sellers of Hyson and Imperial rather than last week's valuations, yet trans astions have been upon a small scale and supplies are greater. For Young Hyson of the true kinds a much better demand exists, and previous terms are easily obtained. Gunpowder finds a more ready sale at full terms, and a small advance has been obtained for fine; but Canton met with little notice, and there is some decline. The general quotations for green Tea now range as follows:-Hyson, common to mid is to is 2d, good to fine is 3d to 2s 3d, choice 2s 4d to 2s 10d, Young Hyson, common 9d to 11d, Hyson sort Is to is 7d, fine is 8d to 2s, twankay 9d to Is, Gunpowder, Canton 8d to Is, Hy son kind is Id to 2a 7d, fine do 2s 8d to 3s 6d, Imperial Canton 9d to I Id, Hyson sort is to 2s, Caper 9d to lOid, scented lid to Is 4d, cod Hyson skin 7d to is per lb. Scented Teas are difficult of sale, especially inferior; sellers are will ing ts accept for good to fine orange Pekoe is to is Bd, low to mid 9d to 11d. Flowery Pekoe is still wanted, fine at Is 8d to 3s, and low to mid 2s to Is 7d. RICE.—To-day there was more demand for East India Rice, and at auction 1,198 bags Bengal sold at lOs to 10a 61 for good pearly white, being full rates. Privately a fair business was concluded. SPICES.-The previous advance is well sustained for Pimento, and privately several parcels have been dis posed of; there is also no increase of supply. At auc tion 274 bags sold at 51-d to 5d per lb for raid to good, low mid sid, and very ord 5d to 50. Pepper continues to be wanted both for shipping and home consumption; only trifling parcels are on offer, rates in consequence range firm; Malabar at 3/c1 to 41d, gumatra and Penang 34d to 3id. White is wanted, low to mid at 81d to 9 ; ld, good to fine s 45 s 2d.mi to d.

Privately Cochin has been operated in with caution, low to mid 30s to 395, good 40s to 50s, and fine 52s to 603. African can be ob tained at 233 6d to 245, yet only small parcels have been sold.

Lord NAAS rose to present a petition from the Le gislative Council of New South Wales, expressing great dissatisfaction with th e A ct 13 and 14 Victoria, relating to that colony. The Noble Lord was about to state the substance of the petition, when Mr. GLADSTONE suggested that, in consequence of its great importance, the petition should be read by the Clerk at the table. The Clerk accordingly proceeded to r ea d th e p e titi on , but in so low a tone of voice as to bo almost inaudible. As far as we could gather, the following was th e i m p or t of the document: — The petitioners stated that they felt it their duty to themselves, their constituencies, and posterity, to record their deep disappointment at the consequences entailed upon the colony by the Act 13 and 14 Victoria. After the numerous resolutions and addresses which had proceeded from the colony, against the appropriation of the revenues of the colony under the sole authority of Parliament, against the existing administration of waste lands, against the dis pensation of the colonial revenues by the . Ministers of the Crown, and against the veto reserved in mat ters of local legislation, the petitioners felt that they had a right to expect that those undoubted grievances would have been redressed by the Act referred to, but their expectations had been entirely disappointed. Ex. ploded theories of colonization were still in use, the effect of which was to divert annually thousands of peti tioners' fellow-subjects from their shores, and force them to seek a home for themselves in the backwoods of America, while the persons sent to the colony from home were wholly unsuited to its wants. The bestowal of offices was still exercised at the nomination of . the Colonial Minister, without any reference to the just claims of the colony; the salaries of the officers of Cus toms, and of other departments, were likewise placed beyond the colonists' control; and the only result of this new enactment, which had been introduced into Parlia ment by the Prime Minister himself with the avowed in tention of bestowing self-government upon the colony, was still to withhold from it the material powers previously exercised by the House of Commons. The colonists were not permitted to vote their own civil list, lest it might prove inadequate to the requirements of the pub lic service, nor to pass the simplest measures without the consideration of the Colonial Minister. The petitioners protested as well against the Act itself, as also against the instructions given by the Minister, by which the small powers conferred by the Act had been ren dered of no effect. They maintained that the Imperial Parliament ought not to have any power to tax the people of the colony, or to appropriate any of its money, which functions could only be properly exer cised by the colony itself; that the revenue arising from the public lands was as much the property of the colony as the ordinary revenue , an d oug h t t h ere f ore to be subject only to like control; that the Customs and other departments ought to be under the vigilant con trol of the Colonial Legislature; and that offices of trust and emolument should be conferred only on settled in habitants of the colony, the office of Governor alone excepted. The petitioners, in conclusion, stated that in order to do away with any possible objection to the re moval of the grievances co m pl a i ne d o f, t h ey were pre pared, on their demands being complied with, to assume and provide for the whole cost of the internal govern ment of the colony, with the excepiion of the salary of the Governor. The petition was read amidst deep silence and atten tion on the part of the House. Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved that the petition be printed with the votes, and gave notice that he should found a motion upon it. The SPEAKER, said that a motion for the printing of the petition could not be made until to-morrow. Mr. TLIORNELY said it was customary to print all petitions coming from the colonies along with the votes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had not been favoured, as other Hon. Members had been, with a printed copy of this very important pe tition, but as far as he could follow it while it was being read, he thought it contained some expressions of a very doubtful character. For instance, he believed that her Majesty was described in it as being only the trustee of her own possessions. He should wish to have an oppor tunity of reading this petition, and he would suggest that its formal presentation should be postponed.—(No.) Mr. HUME objected to the postponement of the re ception of the petition. Sir J. GRAHAM had understood that this petition was presented by one of her Majesty's servants, the Noble Lord the Chief Secretary for Ireland, and he con ceived that, if there was anything wrong in it, the Noble Lord ought. to have consulted his colleagues before pre senting it.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir J. Graham) was not aware of any expressions in the petition which were not well worthy of the attention of the House. At all events an expectation was held out that if the grievances com plained of were redressed, the colony would undertake to bear all its expenses, and that was a subject well worthy of consideration.—(Hear, hear.) He conceived that the petition had been presented by the Noble Lord, and the only remaining question was whether it should be printed. The SPEAKER said that the petition had not yet been received. The Noble Lord might, if he thought proper, withdraw it for the present, and present it to morrow. Mr. HUME said that the petition hail been jointly entrusted to him and the Noble Lord the Chief Secre tary for Ireland. He objected to any delay in the pre sentation of the petition, lest the petitioners might thereby feel themselves affronted. Mr. WALPOLE said that the petition had been pre sented by the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland, in his capacity as a Member of that House, and not as a member of her Majesty's Government. It was right that the House should take notice of any expressions in a petition whicla might seem to be of a doubtfal nature, and it certainly had occurred to him, as well as to his Right Hon. Friend, that in this petition the Queen was described as only the trustee of her own dominions—a phrase which he could not think would be adopted or re cognised by that Hause. He did not propose to reject the petitioo, but only to take time to consider whether it contained anything objectionable. Mr. GLADSTONE said that he was properly respon sible for the prominence given to that petition, which he had carefully read, and which certainly had not ap peared to him to contain anything to which objections could be justly taken.—(Hear, hear.) He was not sur prised that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should have been struck by the expression to which he had referred, when simply hearing the petition read at the table; but it was clear that it was only used in the sense of a poli tical argument, in which it was open to anyone, and much more to the colonial legislature, to give that view of the position of her Majesty in respect not of her do minions, but of the wild lands of the colony which are merely subjects of sale.—(Hear, hear.) He should very much regret any delay in the reception of the petition. The Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland was clearly the person who was primarily responsible for the petition, and he (Mr. Gladstone) was persuaded that he would never have presented to Parliament a document of so much constitutianal importance without satisfying him self that its phraseology was free from all objection. Mr. E. ELLICE said that the waste lands l Act for Aus tralia referred to in the petition had been suendrnoersedinbgy her Majesty to the public under the lends were applicable for the civil list, and the proceeds of t applicable to the uses of the colony.

The petitior COLONIAL w CHURCH BILL. that appeared to.thhimis Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice of moving a Com mittee of the House on the subject of colonial ecclesias ties] law. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked for what purpose ? Mr. GLADSTONE replied that it was only in order to move a resolution pro forma, to enable him to intro duce the Colonial Church Bill in an amended form. TH Sir DE LACY EVA E NS A r R o M se Y ito put a question to the Under-Secret a ry o f S tate for Foreign Affairs rela tive to the regulations of August, 1843, issu e d f rom th e F r e i d g a n n - a t o f fi r i c o e r , ily as to air th e a ct t i d ng offi ate foreign ord ers o f distinc cep who may have re ceivetion for services in the field. Lord STANLEY said there had been some hardship on the sudden issuing of the regulation, but, at the dis tance of some years, that could scarcely be a reason for recalling it.

Mr. STAFFORD said the attention of the Admiralty had been drawn to the letter referred to, but that it did not at all abate their confidence in the gallant gentleman who was so justly described as that " scientific officer." Moreover, the Board had received communications from the late captain of the Birkenhead, stating his satisfac tion with the compasses of thatvessel; and they intended to append to the papers upon her loss a copy of the cor respondence on this particular subject.—(Bear.) ABATEMENT IN ASSESSMENTS ON TENANT FARMERS UNDER THE PROPERTY -TAX.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that this was a very important subjf et, interesting to a very considerable portion of her Majesty's subjects—(Hear, hear)—end in aesevcr to the Hon. Gentleman he did not think he could do better than read a circular sent out by the Board of Inland Revenue bearing upon the question:— " Inland Revenue, Somerset House, June 8. " Sir,—Many inquiries have been made as to the period to which the accounts of farmers should be made up in order to show the amount of their profits from the occupation of their farms, upon appeal under the third section of the 14th of Victoria, chap. 12, against the assessment of the income-tax under Schedule B, on the grounds that the profits in the years of assessment fell short of the sums assessed; and it is understood that farmers do not make up their accounts to the sth of April, but almost invariably to the 29th of September in each year, or thereabouts. lam directed by the board to state that, under th e c i rcumstanc es, no objection is to be offered by the surveyors to accounts being received on such appeals for the year from SO' chaelmas, 1850, to Mich ae l mas , 1851, or to suc h other day in the year on which the accounts of the appellants shall have been usually made up, and to relief being afforded by the district commissioners upon satisfactorY proof that during such year the profits arising from th e occupation of their farms did not amount to the Burn s assessed under Schedule B. I take this opportunity t 0 observe, that the provision above referred to does not authorise exemption, although the total income of ,t he party may have fallen s h ort of 150/. in the year, but only an abatement of the charge to the amount of the profits actually acquired, in the same manner as relief is granted by the 133 d section of the Income-tax Act in respect of assessment under Schedule I) on profits 0 trades. I have further to state, that the relief is appli cable to persons occupying their own farms as WOO as to tenant-farmers, provided they obtain their livelihood principally from husbandry. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, , The Hon. G ent l eman would see, therefore, " THOMAS KEOGH.' that th e point had eng age d the attention of her Majesty's Go' vernment, and that relief had already been secured. THE WINE DUTIES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ender stood from the question of his Hon.

Mr. WALPOLE said that the question addressed to him was whether his attention had been called to sole particular speech supposed to have been made by Dir 4. Mazzini. His answer to that question was that big at' tention had not been so called to such speech—(Hear .) Mr. HUME requested the Hon. Member (Hr. Cochrane) to confine himself to a particular passage la the supposed speech. The SPEAKER intimated that it was irregular for all Hon. Member to comment upon a document before he had read it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. COCHRANE then signified his intention of call' ing attention to the matter on the following day. THE REV. MR. BENNETT. Mr. HORSM AN intimated that to-morrow (this day), on the motion for the adjournment of the House, he would state what course he intended to pursue with re" gard to the vicarage of From() inquiry. WESTERN PACKET STATION, IRELAND. Mr. H. HERBERT begged to ask his Hon. Friend the Secretary to the Admiralty to what part of the coast the proposed survey of harbours in Ireland would refer , and how far southward it would extend? Mr. STAFFORD replied that the two places to which the survey of the Commission was strictly to be limited were the Bay of Galway and the mouth of the Shannon. He need not add, therefore, that it would embrace portion of the seaboard of that locality so fortunately represented by the Hon. Member who had asked the question.—(Hear, and laughter.) THE LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. Mr. SLANEY asked whether the attention of the Government had been directed to the resolution of e th Committee on this subject, with regard to issuing char ters of limited liability at a less expense than at presen t, and whether it was intended to appoint a Commission to inquire into the general subject of limited liability during this or the following session of Parliament? that w hThewhich h he e C ci 11 E - ae A s dtNi himselfo C n E L wasL o O n 1 had et oo o ff c great c t a h s ° occasion EXCHEQUERto bring and e d r 9° 1 1 ! notice of the House.

He was 11 0 aware of any deficiency of information, but, if such wel ls found to be the case. it would be open to the House to consider whether a Commission should issue or not.

The proposition was negatived without a division. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 5,6, 7,8, 9,10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, Wee agreed to. Clause 15 having been put, Mr. MO WATT proposed the omis sion of the words " subject to the provisions of the special Act relating to such company." lie believed that, under those words I the special Acts would override the g eneral Act.

Mr. MO WATT thought that a requisition signed by a majority of the inhabitants ought to be held sufel • writ in the case. After some conversation the amendment proposed hi Lord J.
