The operations of Parliament are, by a merciful dis pensation, accelerated as the termination of each ses sion approaches. If we might be permitted to trace an analogy between what is august and what is commonplace, we should hin t snerely. that . this faculty in our legislators resembles t t h o e instinct . ive manner in -which the horse is observed to men d his.his pace on ap pi-oaching the conclusion are Lou th rn e er . . Grouse, and stubble, and relaxation, manger, and ormer what chopped beans, a cleanlyidl e n ess ad are to the latter —namely, a wholesome stimulus aanra tional lure. In accordance with this circu mst an ce, the Sugar Duties' Bill has passed rapidly and smoothly through tl'e Commons, and precisely upon the same principle it OnT is hur rece iv sday ing after a generous an amendment welcome from the Peers. , 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, and ordered to be committed on the following day. A few fleeting hours, and her MAJESTY's sanction to the measure will be alone required to bring it into operation. Wheneve r 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 7,apoa monetary transactionl. NIUXIIIIOII and world- TIRE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15, 1846. 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 from being actuated by petty or interested sentiments. 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. ANil 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 he 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 on wards 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 for 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 name 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 subservient 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 LANSDOWI4E came after it like a relief. It reminded one that nothing is so liable to delusion as benevolence ; it said to us, "Yes, in G on'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, upon the sugar question. They have committed an error, but an honourable and even admirable error. Returns were on Thursday directed by the House of Commons of the number of cases in which corpora' 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 pecple. 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 o that a free or reasning 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 is 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 misled by prej u di ce d purpose'! Are they not entitled t o the fullest evi dence th a t th e C omm ander-in-Chief may not be essentially persons, and the truth kept b ack from his kno w l e d ge ? Th e re must be something wrong in a system that will not bear the light, that shrouds itself in darkness and mystery — that concealment,which i s f b e a s a r e s d n o o n intvreustthigaantidonju;stthiceenidoemrea fullynd demands noo t 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 on the death of p. or 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 uur env 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 amelioration that has taken place is wholly owing to the publicity given to that transaction. The wise, the :ust caution of the Rev. Mr. TRIMMER, the 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 in which such abominable cruelties have been perpe trated, that if they were particularised invidious 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 had 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 ti; 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 to 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 MEHEMET ALT by the SULTAN, thus directly contradicting the accounts which some of the Paris papers bad copied from another of the Malta journals. Inaanum Pacns 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 landed, ac companied by Admiral Sir Lucius CURTIS. On landing he was received by Colonel BALNBEVIS, 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. He 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, t E u g r 3 e .p h t. quitted this capital in the Ueda steamer for Trieste, and h le e nc2,.- nv h e a r d sat a io n n, in w te h rv ich iew wa w s it r h ath th e e r l P o a n c g l:a th o e i thence to London by Paris. Some days before his depar ts Excellent} Viceroy expressed to the Ambassador how grateful he was both towards the people and the Queen of Great Britain for 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 Suez; but be added that this means of communication ought not to he a question of commercial speculation, and therefore he himseX should un dertake the work, and not entrust it to any company what ever. Before his departure Sir S. Canning presented to the Porte an energetic note on the testimony of Christians in the Turkish courts of justice. The present system, the nose says, is a continual source of perjuries, for the Christian, knowing that his testimony cannot be received, buys over a Mussulman, and gets him to swear what lie wants. Men are 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 circum>tances should again occur analogous to those of the affair of Sir Lawrence Jones. Mr. Wellesley, son of Lord Cowley,'is to 1111 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 the 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 tested 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 INlErrsaNicu. The Ministers Da CA MTS and D'UR'DEN, Count SomNs, and Count DE FLAIIAVT, are also at Vraemgnoarth. Letters from Kiel (Holstein), 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 DEN MAR h embarked from Copenhagen on the 3d, on b )ard the steam war schooner, Hecla, for Flensburgh, in the Duchy of Schleswig. Madrid papers of the 7th have been received. The three men who were arrested on the charge of assas sinating the Catalonian Deputy, Senor PERPERA, at tempted to make their escape whilst proceeding under escort from Juneda to the prison of Lerida. They were fired on by the escort, and mortally woundA. 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 Boun, AUG. 7—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 cash. The Five per Cents. are .aid to be 227/ 8 buyers ; Four per Cents., 21%; Passive Debt, 6 7 4 ; and Coupons, 20% buyers. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. M. GUIZOT and M. S kLVANDY have both returned :o Paris and resumed the performance of their offi- cial duties. 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 officiates 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 GUICIIE, the Marquis DE CASTEL LANE, M. HALLEZ CLAPAREDE, and M. SAGLIO, will officiate as secretaries. The Chamber will on Tuesday divide itself by ballot into nine Committees, in or3er 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 National thinks will join the victorious party.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. L. JONES.—A meeting of sub. scribers to the proposed testimonial to Mr. L. Jones, was held on Thursday at the Mansion House to determine on the application of the funds raised for that purpose. The Lord Mayor having taken the chair, the report of the sub committee appointed to consider the subject was read, an: the following proposals were therein stated to be the result of their deliberation. That a bust of Mr. Jones be made, and placed in the Royal Exchange; that a medal be struck to commemorate the event, and Mr. Jones's services; and chat a scholarship of the value of 30/. per annum be founded hearing his name. A discussion arose on the motion for the adoption of the report Sir Peter Laurie objected strongly to a bust, and would agree to nothing but a full-length por trait—to the other proposals he entertained uo objection. Mr. Alderman Moon, on tie. other hand, was so persuaded of the superior efficacy of sculpture in heading down a man's merits to posLerity, that, so far from deem ing a bust sufficient, his own opinion was in favour of a statue, although he would not oppose the recom mendation contained in the report. Another gentleman, by way of insuring unanimity, suggested the carrying out of both proposals. In the end. no gentleman supporting the views of Sir Peter Laurie, the motion for the adoption of the report was carried, with that gentleman's single dissent. It was stated that the cost of the bust was estimated at 2001, of the medals at about the same, and the scholarship at 1,000/. The amount sub-cribed would not cover those ex penses, but there was little doubt of the suns being speedily realised. EAST LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.—On Wednesday last the twenty -second anniversary of this very deserving institution was celebrated in a dinner at the White Conduit House Tavern, Islington, on which occasion about fifty gentlemen partook of an entertainment served up in the usual excellent style of this place. Henry Knight, Esq., of Basinghall-street, presided as chairman, and was supported by the Rev. T. Gibson, senior curate of St. Matthew's, Bethnal-green. After the usual loyal toasts hail be en given, accompanied by very appropriate observations of the chair man, and responded to with great enthusiasm by the com pany, Mr. Knight, in a very eloquent speech, proposed success to the " East London General Pension Society," which, he stated, hai afforded assistance to ninety aged male and female pensioners. He expressed his regret that the deficient state of the funds of the charity has obliged the Committee from time to time to limit its sphere of useful ness. He however trusted that in the forths!oming year sufficient funds would be placed at their disposal, so that in obedience to its charitable principle a fuller measure of relief may be afforded to the deserving poor. The Rev. Mr. Gibson, in a neat speech, proposed the health of the worthy chairman, and promised to preach a sermon for the institu tion. The toast, as was the kind offer of the Rev. Gentle man, was received with great applause. The Secretary then read a list of donations (which included one of ten guineas from Lord Robert Grosvenor) amounting to between 50/. and 601. The chairman shortly after vacated the chair, and the party broke up, evidently highly pleased with the evening's proceedings.

CAUTION To TAADESMEN.—FORGED BILLS.—A Polish Jew, name unknown, has lately been obtaining a quantity of goce!s from various tradesmen at the East end, by means of bills of exchange which have turned out to be forgeries.

THE _POTATO ROT IN DE:v•Nsliirte.—A eorres nondent informs us that in the parishes of Cornwood, Plympton St. Mary, and all along the borders of the river Tamar, the crops of potatoes may be generally considered as perfect failures. Previous to the appearance of the disease the crops could not possibly look finer, but the disease seems in numerous places to have made its appearance entirely in p h o a s t li l r m e to being excessive reducedh o, ea t t a single night.

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- ! !Mace 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 body, is an established fact. Thus they are crippled in the exersise of that skill and industry so largely 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 th , ,se restricti.ms of a heavily disqualifying nature : and certainly the best cours.., 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 for freight, by reason of the Corn and Sugar Bills, there is Most ample time for the ship owners of this country to lay before Ministers their present grievances, and for Lord John Russell to frame remedial cures. _ _ There are not any late ColOnial arrivals announced in the City this morning.

Lord REDESDALE gave notice that ho stould call their Lorilships' attention to the report of the Commissioners on the education in the College of Maynonth. ABOLITION OF EXCLUSIVE TRADING. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from the mer chants, traders, and operatives of Dublin, praying that this Bill might not piss without further inquiry. FLOGGING IN THE ARMY. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from South Molten, unanimously prayine for the total abolition of flogging in the army, but stated that he could not concur in the object of the petitioners, when he found such great objections in the minds of those officers, who were the best authority on the subject. Lord REDESDALE said that he could not suffer this op portunity to pass without stating, that after a careful review of the evidence given on the death of Frederick White, he could not say that he ever saw evidence taken in a more objecionable manner than this was. And this he thought would be the feeling of any person, except those who took the extreme view of the coroner and jury, upon whose conduct he could not offer too strong remarks, especially when he saw that tle, coroner had rejected the testimony of four medical men, and charged upon the report of one medical man, who was a personal friend of his own. With regard to the punishment by flogging, he regretted that the army was not compo-ed of a class that would warrant the abolition of such a course. This punishment had been found efficacious, and he did not see why it should be discontinued. If they adopted the principle here laid down with respect to this case, they should also take a similar view of all punishments ; for it was known that nothing was more inju rious to heal.h than imprisonment. Lord LYTTELTON presented a petition from the bankers of Worcester, complaining of the practice adopted by railway companies in opening parcels conveyed by them. Lord CLARENDON said that the matter had occupied the attention of the Government, and that a remedy would be provided. Lord ,11ONTEAGLE thought that the remedy should be immediate Lord BROUGH ANI said he considered that the present railway Acts required some considerable improvement. He thought that a revision of all Bills as well ria Railway Bills was required, for instance, law Bills. He gave notice, that early next session of Parliament, lie would move the adoption of resceutioris on the subject. similar to those he had laid on the table of their Lordship , ' House. EXCLUSIVE PRIVILEGE IN TRADE (DUBLIN) BILL. Lord BROUGHAM presented several petitions against this Bill. ROBERT OWEN. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Robert Owen, late of New Lanark, praying that their Lordships would found a system of national education on the principles which he had adopted in his several establishments. On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL. the Mandamus (Ireland) But, the Interpleader hill, and the Citation (Scot land) B:11, were severally read a third time and passed. THE KARL OE DUNDONALD'S INVENTION. Lord BROUGHAM wished to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Adiiiitaity, whether he proposed to investigate the merits of the invention of the Earl of Dundonald, as he un derstood that the discovery of Captain Warner was shortly to be put to the test? Lord AUCKLAND said, it would be exceedingly desirable that the invention should be tested, and a commission would be appointed for that purpose. Lord BROUGHAM hoped that the utmost secrecy would be observed in the trial. Lord AUCKLAND intimated that this would be done. WASTE LANDS (AUSTRALIA) BILL. Earl GREY proposed the second reading of this Bill. The Noble Earl, after describing the nature of the Bill, said that the number of emigrants had been 9.985, and the money spent in carrying out the emigrants about 1,000,0001. The consee quence had been that the revenue, which in 1831 was only 122 0001.. had in 1844 risen to 394,0001. The exportations in It3l amounted to 237, , 00'., including 75,0001. for wool, while in 1844 they were 871,0001., and the wool alone front this colony had risen to 411,000. It was evident, therefore , that the system had worked well for the colony and for tbi country. Licences had been granted to the squatters , as they were called, who had gradually settled upon the waste lands, as it was desirable they should be occupied, and space of as meals as 1,600 miles in length by 300 miles in breadth, was now held under this system. But throughou t the whole of that immense territory there was not a singl e place of worship, or a single clergyman to be found for the spiritual instruction of the people. Females had followed into the distrie', and a population was rapidly growing or without any means whatever for the preservation of the Ole' racter of the people. In the district, however, there a its a large number of persons settled, who, Prior to their emigration, had in this country received 9 ;1 education of gentlemen ; and who were, of course, irnb e f with all the refinements of civilised life, and in the course of years, therefore, it was but natural, that without any naeal u spiritual instruction, their influence must decline, and li fr mateiy die out. It was necessary to preserve that influenc e ° the sake of the inhabitants, and that the character of the p eo p le i , should be upheld, but it vas not to be expected that those pe ru se . ea having only a slight tenure, would go to the necessary r ° , je It was, therefore, the duty of the Government to r h e n t h e about ; but this they must do without interfering w:t Cer• right of sale. Happily there was a means or doing tbi • o f tain parts of the country were more valuable in conseen e T, a . the supply of water, whieh might be made much more able by the erection of dams for its retention. Around these districts toe population would concentrate, and it was prop wad n": to grant leases of the lands for fourteen years. But this , evidently too long a period, if you considered the advance of the population, and he would propose to substitute the teal of eight years, with a right of pre-emption to the present oe' cupants. In the event of those parties not being able to put*. chase the several runs, they might be sold by auction, o r let on private valuat on. He proposed to retain the same rate of payment as at present existed. It was further proposed, that at the expiration of the leases, should they not b° ( required to be sold, the former occupant the those lands shoul i be allowed to retain at leases for a period of the same length as the former least He proposed that the passing of orders for regulati n g ° to rn , : matters should be invested in her Majesty, and that a n y e made in Council, repeaheg any former order, should b for six months on the table of both Houses before having any effect. Lord BROUGHAM said, he objected to the po wer ( 7° 1 . 1 .: ferred upon the Crown under the garb of Parliam entary proceedings. Lord LYTTELTON said, be had no intention of troubll the House with any letrather r d o bserv a tions, as he appro ved the Bill in principle, though he thought it not alwg et perfect in some of the d e t a il s . he ' s . The Bill was then read a second time. POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS. Lord BROt 'Gil AAI said that he had ascertained the Gaug e of the delay in making the return for w hi c h he moved terday evening, and be entirely acquitted the honourable mires tlemen who had to perform the duty of Poor-law Cl o w stoners from being the intenti o nal c a u s e of it. He en, these Commissioners to be extremely kind and huma ne and yet they were called hard-hearted dictators and irell, be positio ne d men. If th e re was an y f au lt t o b e found at a w ith th , ught they should find fault with the system, and 01 be eo the men. But even as it regarded the system, it he", bad much misrepresented, as h e b e li eve d a ll th e rea l e vils t h at fall arisen were to be attributed to its not being carried an t t ' he ire effect. He would have it enforced in all its integrity, e nti :otea l ever there was any attempt to revi ve th e o ld perniciont.;' fe of out-door relict, he would must strenuously oppose l ' e sices some instances he saw a disposition to return to this r a ro bed but he hail no doubt the Commissioners, without being .P e s yse to do their duty by him, would take care that the pracn i F or t he abandoned. With regard to the Bills he had proposed en billi purpose of amending the laws of the country, but esP .to ee with re-pect to the criminal law, he begged leave to Pr_ r ol b• them for the present, but it was with the hope tha t tn dan d .

I.—An address to the Assembly of the the Estates of Holstein was forwarded from this city yester day evening. 'HANOVER, AUG. 7.—The General Assemblage of the Estates of the kingdom was prorogued to-day, till the Ist of November, after a session of more than five in,urths FRONTIERS OF GALACIA, JULY 26.—The harvest is al ready begun in the eastern circles of Galacia, and the cheerful countenances of the peasants and the nobles prove, that happily for this unfortunate country, there will be a most abundant harvest. In some circles, howevcr, they look for ward to the harvest with fear, because the peasants threaten not to suffer the nobles to have the whole produce. Most 01 the nobles pass the summer in the towns, and the magis trates of the circle has given the stricte , t orders that no . one shall be injured in his right, and that every excess on the part of the peasantsseverely punished. It is natural that the great fear of the nobles increase the insolence of the peasants. However, as there is nothing to give occasion to further per secution their threats may, perhaps, be as a milder interpre tation, conformably to the Polish character. Everybody is anxiously looking for the arrival of Count Stadion, the Impe rial Commissioner, who is daily expected. It is generally as serted at Cracow that Mr. Von Shindler, formerly President of the Senate, will shortly return and take part in the Go vernment. VIENNA, Auo. I.—lt seems to be worth mentioning that the Amsterdam Observer communicates to its readers, with out curtailment, the addr e ss of the Estates of Holsteini against the letters patent. KIEL, AUG. 7.—lnstead of the members of the Estates of 22 p 3 % P Holstein, who withdrew from it, the substitutes are summoned to meet at Itzehoe. It is estimated that the Assembly of the Estates cannot be sufficiently completed to come to any resolution, since there mast be at least three-fourths of the total number present (that is 36 of the 48), and it is supposed that, under the most favourable circumstances, the Government will not be able to bring together more than 30, or at the mo,lt 32 members. VIENNA, AUG. is said that Sir Robert Gordon, the English Ambassador, is to be succeeded by Lord Moira.f Much is here said, in the higher circles, of the visit which the King of Prussia paid to Prince Metternich at Konigswarth. It is said that the Prince had a conference with the King respecting the question of the Pi ussian Constitution. GALLCIAN FRONTIERS, AUG 2.—Count Stadion passed the frontiers last week, and avoiding the usual road through Cracow and Lemberg, took that through Myslewice. He has declined all visits from t:43 authorities; but in all the towns in which he passed visited the prisons, in which the ' many political pri.oners are confined. It is said that he will make a tour through all Galicia, by which he will most ea-,ily convince himself that the peasants in certain circles refuse to perform the services which they owe to 6 , noble lan:lovvhers in the approaching harvest. It scents strange that the Jews, under 'hese circumstances, should buy corn of these peasants.—Ramburgh. Papers, Aug. 11. Si'ORTING INTELLIGENCE. SALISBURY RACES.—THURSDAY.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. This regatta commenced on Monday last, and the follow ing vessels started for the Cup, and came in in the following order :- 1 Frisk 2 Medina.... Sir B. R. Graham This excited very little interest; the course round the Isle of Wight is only approved of by parties who can follow in yachts. On Thursday the following schooners sailed round the Wight, for the Cup, having to contend against a strong south-westerly gale : I Flirt 132 tons ... Sir B. R. Graham, Bart. 2 Fair Rosamond 120 „ ... Marquis of Blandford 3 Maude 4 Gem 125 „ ... T. W Fleming, Esq. In beating down the east ent of the Wight the Maude carried away her foremast, and proces.ded for Portsmouth harbour. The Gem also became disable.i. The Fair Rosa mond came in first, beating the Flirt by five minutes and twenty-five seconds in the day's sail. The fireworks took place on Thut'sday evening, at half past nine. Although the day had been boisterous, the evening proved fine The Royal Yacht Squadron dir ner took place yesterday; the Duke of Beaufort in the chair. Saturday is expected to be the grandest day of the season. The yachts of the Thames and other squadrons will sail round the buoys off Cowes. The town is crowded with company, and as the steamers to Southampton leave so late as nine o'clock is the evening, hundreds visit us who otherwise would not. The Yoyal Yacht Squadron annual ball takes place to morrow. On Monday the Queen's Cup of 100 guineas will be con tended for, 2d class schooners above 140 tons. On Wednesday Prince Albert's Plate of 100 guineas will sailed for by the cuttar yachts of the squadron.

SIIOOTING STARS.—Pi-rhaps our readers a re not gene rallr aware that the 10th of August is a stars as the 12th o f the same month Ti;hfrieasom f o r shooting e ta a b i l a ous e g f u o i r a s t h p o h o e t n in o g_ grouse. This, however, is the m e: T s:: the most remarkable of myna occur in which are obserriveerr furliocivanlatth.shetl2th to the 14th of November, Unfortunately, Monday even and on the loth ofA g ing, on which we h expected to witness a magnificent display of this singular p enomemm,closed over Cambridge with a sky and a close drizzling shower, which utterly cloud y e uded from our view the more elevated regions of the atmosphere and the blue stars beyond. On Sunday evening it was likewise thick and cloudy. This we con sidered a, very great misfortune, as we had long looked forward in the hope of enjoying the spectacle. Humboldt's theory of these shooting stars is at once novel and striking He considers them identical with those aerolites or metoric stones which do certainly fall from the clouds, and which some have believed to be wanderers from the moon, projected with immense impetus from active vol canoes in that satellite, and prevented from going back by the superior attriction of this planet. Humboldt's opinion is more philosophical rind more specious, and perhaps more sublime. There is Jupiter so much larger than this earth— this earth so much larger than Mercury—Mercury so much larger than those asteriods, Ceres and Pallas. Reasoning analogically, Humboldt suppses that bodies still smaller, indeed, infinitely smaller, mere fragments, may be wandering through space, revolving by the law of gravitation around the sun, and that in short these aerolites or meteoric b stones are little planets, d• fleeted from their own or h b a i t ts th y e the earth's attraction. He conjectures further t o _ these shooting stars are simply the temporary appearance llis f aerolites, which, thus revolving, become of our a n t t it t visible here. in passing through the outer port.ons e just so long They may glow with heat and lightemit_in t t_e e ns oxv ea which we as they happen to be in In with . 1 1 . breathe. And further, In certain positions of our , planet, in that position which we occupy at pre sent with regard to the sun, it is quite cmceivable that . a . showerid these aerolites_ a host, as it were, of these diminutive asteroids —may pe riodically and annually, pursuing their own path, traverse the earth's orbit, and just graze our atmosphere, so as to be- come luminous at this 04404011.--Cambridye Advertiser.
