e IF b trb Nbitton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. NEWMARKET and CHESTERFORD RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The first half-yearly meeting of this Company took place this day, at the Offices of the Company, 5, Church-passage, Guild ; Lord John Manners in the chair. The SECRETARY read the usual advertisement convening the meeting ; and the following report was then submitted to the shareholders " This meeting has been convened in accordance with the requirements of the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act, and your directors have the pleasure to submit their first report, subsequent to the passing of the Act which incorporates this Company ; and congratulate the shareholders upon the Act having been successfully obtained. Your directors are happy to be enabled to state, that owing to the excellent manage ment of the law affairs of the Company, no opposition has its several made to the progress of th e Bill i n p as sing through several stages ; and, consequently, the legal expenses incurred have been of limited amount, as compared with those borne by similar projects, which have been carried before Parliament under less favourable auspices. The land owners and occupiers along nearly the whole extent of the line have been successfully treated with , upon terms which may be considered satisfactory ; and your directors are con vinced that the early construction of the line will be at tended, not only with great advantages to the public, but from the central situation of the line, in respect of some of the most important railway communications in the kingdom, will prove highly remunerative to the shareholders. Your directors confidently recommend the immediate prosecution of such surveys and plans as may ins ure to t hi s C ompany the success of ati application to Parliament next session for carrying out extensions of the line from Newmarket to Thetford, and from Newmarket to Bury St. Edmund's, and resolutions to this effect will be submitted for your approval. It having been with much reason suggested, that it may be expedient for this Company th extend the proposed line from Bury to Ely also, your directors recommend, therefore, that they should be empowered (if upon further consideration it should appear to them of sufficient public importance, and to the interest of the shareholders) to make this additional extension. Your directors are empowered to announce, that they have as surances from most of the landowners on the line of the proposed extensions of their readiness to co-operate, by their influence and support, in the success of an undertaking that will, when completed, form the best and most convenient route from Norwich to London, *swell as from the east coast to the midland and northern counties. Your directors feel called upon to state that they had entered into a treaty to lease the present line with the extensions of Thetford at the rate of 6 per cent. on the outlay, and half the profits of the Norfolk Company; but that treaty was broken off in consequence of an intimation from the solicitors engaged, that the Norfolk Company had no power to do so without the leave of the Eastern Coun ties. The capital which the Act of incorporation em powers the Company to raise is more than ample for the purposes of completing the present line, and contracts, under the guidance and advice of Mr. R. Stephen son, have been made for the entire completion of the works; the line has been staked out, and the works are in course of progress. The short period that has elapsed since obtaining the Act has prevented the directors from ascertaining the precise amount of expense incurred, but after making liberal allowance for accounts not yet received, they are of opinion that the total expenses of the Company, to the date of in corporation, will not exceed 9,0001., being under 13s. per share. It is intended to pay interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the deposits paid, and upon all future calls, commencing Ist of January last, upon registered shares, and the first payment will be made on or after the Ist of September, 1846. In ac cordance: with the Act, it will be the duty of the proprietors at this meeting to appoint two auditors. The dir , ctors beg to recommend to the notice of the shareholders, for appoint ment, John Sands, Esq., of Austin-friars ; and Henry Rance, Esq., of Cambridge, solicitor:" The report was adopted unanimously. The present line brings Norwich nineteen miles nearer London than it is at present. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. HOUSE OF LORDS (THIS DAY).

Demerara has been in good demand, and fetched full rates; the private sales amounting to ILO puns at 3s 5d to 3s 6d for 36 to 38 per cent over proof. For Leeward Island the demand has been only for small trifling quantities, but the sup ply being scanty, holders insist upon former rates, that is to say, 2s 5d to 2s 6d for proof strength. In Calcutta there has been lit' le passing, and proof with certificate can be obtained at Is lid to 2s. The arrivals of Ruin have been upon a small scale only since this day week. For Brandy the demand has been good, chiefly from the home trade; old kinds have been the most in request, prices are firm. Geneva has been in good demand for exportation; and British Corn Spirits have been in active request. MOLASSF-S.—There has been very little business transacted in West India, although there are sellers of all sorts upon further reduced terms. The stock is still on the increase, but is not equal to that of last year. Bengal Treacle is ne glected, and it is difficult to quote prices with accuracy.- Honey is plentiful, and prices on the decline. Elm—To-day Bengal Rice was in excellent request, and 2703 bags at public sale were sold at 3d per cwt advance. Privately some parcels were disposed of. Oft.s.—A considerable increase has taken place in the de mand for Olive Oil since our last report, and prices have advanced 40s to 70s per tun, extensive parcels having been disposed of. Rapeseed Oil has met with a brisk demand, prices are still on theadvance, and the supply on the decrease. Linseed Oil has met with more attention, and prices are firmer, sales to a fair extent have been made on the spot by the home trade at 23s 6d, aug o for forward delivery the operations have been on a more extended scale at 23s 9,1 to 245; for exportation the demand, however, is still trifling. The Crushers continue to work freely, notwithstanding the small profits they are getting. The consumption still ex ceeds that of last year, yet prices are lower. Palm is not to be obtained upon lower terms, but the demand has been less active. The supply of Cocoa Nut Oil is still scanty, and there are several buyers. Of Fish Oils there are further arrivals; still holders, for the most part, evince firmness, and refrain from pressing sales. Seal has been in good demand, but holders have been compelled to take previous rates. Cod is little wanted, and the supply at market is yet small. Southern has met with attention. Sperm has been sold to a fair extent, but not at better prices, there being still a good supply. For American Lard Oil the demand has been limited at 331 to 40/. This afternoon Southern Oil met with atten tion, and 130 tuns at auction were all sold at advanced rates. TURPENTINE —For Spirits the demand has been active, and prices are firm at 44s 6d to 455. American has been selling at 39s to 40s. In Rough a good deal has been done at 9s to Os 3d per barrel. Tar is wanted, and in conse • quence of the small supply buyers have been compelled to pay 16a for Stockholm, and 17s Gd to 18s per barrel for Archangel. _ _ TALLOW.—Holders of Russian on the spot evince firmness ; the trade have come forward more freely, and a good business has been transacted, chiefly by the chandlers. For forward delivery many purchases have been made, and from 41s to 41s 3d per cwt paid for fine Yellow Candle for the last three months of the year; indeed, some parties will not sell upon those terms, notwithstanding the quiet state of the market at St. Petersburg. Home made Tallow has been in lively demand, and prices are firm. Australian► is wanted, but the supply has become small, and prices arc firmer. In American business to a fair extent has been done at 34s to 41s 6d for low to fine quality, and the supply is on the decrease. THE LONDON CIAZETT' (THIS E VENING.) BOARD OF GREEN CLOTH, ST.

A public meeting of those friendly to the objects of this society was held to-day, in the Hall of Commerce, City, at one o'clock. Mr. B. B. CARRELL, M.P., haring taken the chair, said it would not be necessary to detain the meeting with stating at any length the objects of the society, as these would appear in the motions and in the speeches of the gentlemen who moved them. He thought it unusual and extraordinary that, in a nation whose merchants were princes in wealth, a society like the present, should be necessary to draw the public atten tion to the unprotected state of the poor ; yet so it was. Wealth, he said, had its powers, but it also had its duties ; and it was to fulfil these that this meeting had been called. He would not detain the meeting longer, but call on Mr. CoCRRANE, who moved the first resolution. He said it would be a work of supererogation in him to talk of the condi tion of thepoor generally ; he would confine himself to the poor within the eity of London. It was said in the last report of the asylums supported by voluntary subscriptions that from 18,000 to 20,000 persons had been relieved during the last winter, and that about 50,000 rose daily from their bed not knowing where to get a breakfast. The Lord Mayor, about the beginning of the year, on hearing a case of ayouug woman who had broken windows, stated that about one hundred and twenty-five cases of young women had been brought up before him for breaking windows, that they might obtain that protection in gaols which was denied them anywhere else. He stated further, that in the poor unions of the city of London they kept bull-dogs to growl and snarl when the poor came to apply for relief. These were statements which were not indebted to private fiction. Mr. Cochrane then referred to the case of Ann Lynch, the details of which have already appeared in TI. Sun, as well as the details of the assault committed on two women by the under officers of Marlborough workhouse. He added that the ex posure in this lsst instance was due to the humane exertions of one of the police—Sergeant Morton—who at first paid the expenses out of his own pocket. He thought these de tails were enough to rouse every citizen of London to give that protection to the poor which the law at present denied them, He said the meeting perhaps was not aware that Dr. Southwood Smith, in his late report of the Fever Hospital, had stated that one-fifth of the whole number of the patients were traceable to Marl borough workhouse, at Peckham—one-fifth of the whole number being 125. And he states further, that in that house they, at certain seasons of the year, compressed from 90 to 100 persons into the space allowed in the hospital to three persons. He concluded by moving— " That the number of distressed poor who apply to the City unions is very great; that their necessities entitle them to our warmest sympathies; that the treatment which they too frequently experience is proved to be harsh, cruel, and unjust, and that their sufferings Imperatively demand the warmest exertions of every honest citizen in their behalf." Rev. JAMES HARRIS seconded the motion. He never felt more gratified than on that occasion in lending his aid to the amelioration of his poor fellow-creatures, for he thought it was the dawning of a day when the attention of Christian England would be turned to facts which had escaped it for the best part of his life. He did not think that the aristo cracy were aware of the state of the poor, he did not believe that they could form an idea of it, and therefore lie was glad that such an institution had risen to point their attention to it. He said he had been called again and again, being the incumbent of Mile End New T o w n , t o see t h e poor , many and many a. time, dying of starvation. They submitted to starvation and death even , out o f the strength of their bette r feelings, rather than apply to these workhouses, which he did not think were a blessing to this land. He augured suc cess to the society from the strength of sympathy which had been stirred, and from the presence of their present Chair man within the legislature of the country. Ths speaker paid a compliment to the philanthropy of Mr. Cabbele Mr. Walter, and Mr. Ferranti, and concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. SIMMONS, before the resolution was put to the meet ing, wished to be allowed to say a few words. He said lie was one of those cruel individuals, the City union guardians. —(Hear, hear.) He had come there that day like any other citizen, merely to hear what might be proposed to the con sideration of the meeting. He had not come with the inten tion of making a speech, but after hearing the speech of the eloquent gentleman who moved the resolution he felt called on to rectify some of the statements which had been made. Perhaps it was not known that the guardians of the city of London Union were elect( d by the free suffrages of their fellow-citizens in the parish to which they belong, or that they were honorary servants, and unpaid. Instead of there being 50 of them, there w e re nearer a h un d re d . N ow t h ese very guardians,these maligned indie idualswished to erect an asylum for the casual poor ; and it was only on Tuesday last that a special committee had been appointed to carry out that object . But he was unwilling that the citizens should retire f rom t h at . place without hearing the otherside; they had already heard one side depicted by his friend, Mr. Cochrane, in tee most glowing colours. It was surely an injustice to visit on the guardians whatever casual oppression might be exercised by their officers on some of the casual poor. There were men among these guardians as ready to aid in the present move ment for the protection of the poor as the gentleman who had so eloquently addressed the meeting. They were men who were elected by their fellow-citizens to the discharge of their duty as guardians, and, therefore, they were not likely to be the men whom his friend would make them believe they were. They found great difficulty in managing the casual poor, a vast number of whom came into that city ' • and perhaps injustice might in some Cases be done, but it was hard, he thought, to lay this at at the d oor of guardians, and to represent them as a hard and cruel° set of people, as though they were Sopposed to the hadpo h or, or the Poor M an ' s G uar di an ociety. R e the pleasure to stand up himself and o th ers il besides him in that board of guardians, and advocate the cause of the Poor Man's Guar dian Society. But it had been the policy to attribut e an y cruelty which might be committed ted in Marlborough Hou se t o the City union guardians,surely more than ought to have been expected. He felt it so, especially-, when he stood there and said he wished a l s of them to remedy these evils. It was his wish as anys wish of but individuals to whom i a e aFu n s e io n had been large others to do so ; made had always stood in the way, al ary p l oe V r h w e w n a a s t s ri e p ro . parish, and many Noble Lords lived there. posal to build an asylum for the casual made, the parish of Marylebsne—the aristocratic parish of Maryle bone—had always been against it, and said they would not have it. He said he was most sincere in depl or i ng any irre gularities that had occurred in Marlborough workhouse, an d he wished most heartily to see the poor comfortable and their wants supplied. The speaker concluded his statement by thanking the chairman and the meeting for listening to him with the attention which they had been pleased to bestow on what he had to say. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. LUZE HANSARD moved, and Mr. HYDE CLARKE seconded, the following resolution :—" That the efforts of the Poor Man's Guardian Society in behalf of the poor gene rally, and especially in exposing the cruelties practised to -wards the poor in the union, Marlborough-house, Peckham, entitle it to the warmest support of the citizens of London." This was put and carried unanimously. Mr. THostsenconßow moved, and Mr. PERCIVAL seconded, the following :—" That for the convenience of the merchants and citizens of London a subscription be opened in the city on behalf the Poor Man's Guardian Society, and that Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., Messrs. Dennison, and Mr. Thornbrrow, be requested to re ceive contributions." _ The resolution was put from the chair and carried. Resolutions appointing a committee of co operation in the City, and according thanks to Mr. Mozhay for the gratuitous use of the Hall, were moved and carried. A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the business, and the meeting separated. LATEST PRICES OF SHARES, IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COll PANIES' STOCK.

REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was in excellent request by the home trade, and higher rates were paid, brown gro cery lumps fetching 63s to 63s 6d,and standard lumps 64s 6d per cwt. For Bonded Crushed Sugar prices remain the same, but few buyers are to he met with at present. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in excel lent request, and 1,613 bags at public sale were sold at Gd per cwt advance. MAURITXtJS.—A considerable increase has taken place in the demand tor all descriptions for refining and grocery pur poses; an advance in the value of 6d to is per cwt has oc curred, although the market has been better supplied with all kinds. Privately several parcels have been disposed of. FOREIGN.—To-day there was more desire evinced to operate in white Havannah, 1,936 chests were offered at auction, damaged, of which the chief part consisted, all found buyers at stiffer rates. COFFEE.—To-day Ceylon Coffee met with attention, and privately several transactions took place, good ordinary pale Native brought 41s to 42s per cwt. Of Penang 182 bags were offerad at auction, and the sound was taken in rather above the value. TEA.—There has been a falling off in the demand for Black and Green, occasioned by the announcement of large public sates for Tuesday. It is expected that nearly 50,000 pkga will be offered. Congou has been purchased with caution during the last few days, and lower rates have been taken, Youchengs is not cheaper, but the demand has been limited at 4d to 9d for low to fine quality. In the value of Hyson little variation has taken place, but few sales have been made. There are sellers of yellowish leaf Twankay upon lower terms, for brightish leaf and 'Tyson sort former rates are required, but little business has been done. Gunpowder and Imperial are little wanted, and prices are on the declin,,, excepting for fine sorts, for which they rule firm. For Scented Orange Pekoe and Flowery Pekoe the market has a dull appearance, and if parcels were to be pressed for sale, a fall in the value would be the result. None has arrived this week, still the stock yet much exceeds that of last season, but every sort is cheaper. SPICES.—To-day 557 bags of Penang Pepper at auction were taken in rather above the value--good light greyish at lid to 2gd, and dusty at 244 d per lb. SPlRlT.—lmporters of Jamica Rum manifest firmness, and require full rates for all descriptions, but the demand has been limited from exporters and the home trade, only small PARLIAMENT.

IMPERIAL PARLIA ENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack a Five o'Clock. HUDDERSFIELD AND MANCHESTER. RAILWAY BILL. This Bill was brotght lap from the House of Commons, and read a first time. WILSTON AND HARBOROUGH RAILWAY. This Bill was also brought up, and read a first time. 111AYNOOTH. Lord REDESDALE gave notice that he should call their Lordships' attention to the report of the Commissioners on the education in the Coilvge of Maynooth aynoi._ A ROLITION OF EXCLUSIVE TRADING. Earl FORTESCUE presented a netition from the mer chants, traders, and operatives of Dublin, praying that this Bill might not pass without further inquiry. FLOGGING IN THE ARMY. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from South Holton, unanimously, praying 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 thc coroner had rejected the test:mony 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 all take a similar view to all runi,:hments ; for it was known that nothing was more inju rious to health 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 NIONTEAGLE thought that the remedy should be immediate. Lord BROUGHAM said he considered that the present railway Acts required some considerable improvement. He thought that a revision of all Bills as well as Railway Bills was required, for instance, law Bills. He gave notice, that early next session of Parliament, he would move the adoption of resolutions on the subject, similar to those he had laid on the table of their Lordships' 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) Bill, the Interpleader Bill, ar d the Citation (Scot land) B 11, were severally read a third time and pure& THE EARL OE DUNDONALD'S INVENTION. . . Lord BROUGHAM wished to ask to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Admiralty, 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 test-d, and a commission would be appointed for that purpose. Lord BROUGHAM hoped that the utmost secrecy should 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. LLEFT SITTING. I HOUSE OF COMMONS. (Cintinued from our Afternoon Edition.) SUPPLY. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. GREENE in the chair. The first rote was that a sum not exceeding 132,0001. be granted for the purpose of purchasing meal, potatoes, &c., for those distr , c's in Ireland afflicted by the potato blight. Mr. WILLIAMS protested against the justice of the vote. He contended that the landlords of Ireland should be com pelled to feed their own poor. The land of that country was quite fertile enough to support its people, if it were properly cultivated. If this vote were granted, it would be a grievous injustice to the poor people of this country. There was no secu rit y for the repayment of this money by the people of Ireland. He distinctly asked the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the commencement of this session, whether any more money than the sum then granted (50,0001.) would be required, and he as distinctly told him that it would not. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as there would be a full discusion as to measures affecting Ire land at twelve o'clock on Monday next, when he would propose a further grant ; he therefore hoped that all discus sion at present might be postponed until that period. The Earl of LINCOLN said that he was quite willing to justify the conduct of the late Government on this subject, but if it was agreeable to the House he would abstain from saying anything until Monday.—( Hear, hear.) The vote was then agreed to. The sum of 20,000/. was then voted for the relief of the sufferers from the late fire at Newfoundland. 1 130,0001. having been propesad for the relief of the sufferers from the recent calamity at Quebec, Mr. HUME said that in his opinion the vote was rather too small. The vote was agreed to. 20,000/. was then proposed for enlarging and improving Buckingham Palace. to which Mr. BRINE objected. He did not see the necessity of the change, and the sum proposed was too great. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained the grounds or, which the sum was asked. Her Majesty had been subjected to very great inconvenience from the present want of proper accomodation at the palace, and the same in convenience had been felt by her predecessor. He wished the House to bear in mind that this was the first sum ever asked by her Majesty for any improve ments since her accesssion to the Throne.—( Hear, hear.) The total expense of the improvements at the palace would amount to 150,0001, but the sum asked for at present was only 20,0004, leaving 130,0001. to be provided in future years. Mr. PRUTHEROE said that the present building was not at a!1 befitting the dignity of the British Sovereign, and he thought that the better plan to accommodate her Majesty would be by assigning part of St. James's Park to her exclu sive use, and that the public would agree to such an arrange ment, if Pall-mall were continued, so togive a direetcommu nication between 'Trafalgar-square and the Chelsea-road. Mr. BERNAL said that the present site of the palace was one of the worst in the metropolis. The neighbourhood would, however, be improved by judicious arrangements. He denounced the system of the Government in erecting a building without taste, and in the most undesirable situations, and afterwards coming to the country for continual bits and hits of money, until a perfect monstrosity of art was the result.—( Hear, hear. ) Captain PECH ELL trusted that, as• the people of Brighton surrendered, some years ago, one of the principal entrances to the town, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, now that he was providing comfort and accommodation for her Majesty, which he by no means objected to, would take steps to place the inhabitants of Brighton in the same position they were in pre vious to the erection of the Pavilion.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. HUME thought, before they laid out any more money on Buckingham Palace, they ought to consider whether the building was placed in such a position as to be convenient for the public. He did not think it was, and he, for one, would be glad to see the question postponed till next session.—( Hear, hear. ) It was not out of any objection to the architect that he was opposed to this Bill, but merely from a conviction of the advantages that would result from a further in quiry into this subject. It could not be said that Parliament was niggardly with respect to palaces, for within his own time 2,000,0004 had been expended on this subject. He thought that until there had been plans laid before them, they ought not to lay out a farthing on Buckingham Palace fur ther than was necessary to keep it in repair. These ought to be placed before the proper tribunal to decide upon this sub ject. He thought that 4,000/. or 5,0001. was rather too much for broken glass.—(Laughter.) He would, therefore, propose that the House should postpone the consideration matter till next session. Lord LINCOLN said, he thought it was only necessary to state to the House that her Majesty was not at pre sent properly accommodated. He could assure the Hon. Gen tleman, that if they (the late Ministry) had remained in race they would have proposed this very vote. When he held office his attention had been directed to this matter, and it was found that the palace was by no means suited to the wants of her Majesty, and a commission was appointed to inquire into the mat ter, amongst whom were Mr. Barry and Sir James Clark, the architects, who were of opinion that such was the case. He trusted that under these circumstances the Hon. Gentleman would conceive it right to withdraw his opposition.—( Hear, hear.) It was perfectly impossible to over rate the manner in which her Majesty acted with respect to de wands on the public, and when he was in office he had even to suggest the necessity of making such demands. Mr. HUME said he would pull down Buckingham Palace, and put it where Kensington Palace was, where they would have a good soil. If they expended a million on Buckingham Palace, they would never make it useful for the purpose they proposed, but they might make it a museum for the public. Mr. WILLIAMS said he had never known of such pro ceedings as the votes which had been granted for such purposes as the present. He had as much regard for the convenience of her Majesty as any one, but he thought the present vote un called for, particularly when there was so large a portion of her Majesty's subjects in a state of utter destitution. He thought that those who were complaining of these expenditures were the true friends of monarchy. The Earl of LINCOLN would put it to the House whether the extra expenses that had taken place had not been for the benefit of the public, and at the suggestion of a majority of that House ? _ Mr. WILLIAMS admitted he had never found a more efficient officer at the head of the Woods and Forests than the Noble Lord. Lord J. RUSSELL was happy to hear the Hon. Member for Coventry make such an admission, but he thought, when he took upon himself to make assertions he should take care to be more accurate ; nothing could be more incorrect than the statement he had made that eight palaces had been kept up for the sove reign. He believed, considering the convenience that the Sovereign required, the country could not do less than keep up the Palace of Windsor and Buckingham Palace; and as to the suggestions of the Honourable Member for Montrose of appropriating Buckingham Palace to a public museum arid building a palace at Kensington, he thought. that entirely out of the question. He trusted that next year they would have something more handsome to look at, and something more commodious for the comfort of her Majesty, than Buckingham Palace at present presented. After some observations from Captain PECHELL, was that the fu r th er Mr. PROTHEROE said he would v ote a g ainst th e grant eff A ec i t r ,. w H o u ul N d iE acc sa o i m d p t l h 6 a h t . under th e h o p e th a t some thing better wo uld be done for the accommodation of her Majesty than the g rant, if carrie d into consideration of this gra n t should be po st p oned till inquiry could be made upon th e su bj e ct. He tho u g ht he should be only doing his duty by di v idi ng the House up o n the grant if the Government persev ere d i n it. his only object After some observations from Mr. GOULBURN and the CHANCELLOR of the Excnectuima, The Committee divided, when their appeared— For the vote ............................ ........ 55a Against it ................................. ••.."""' Majority for the vote —49 4,5001. was next voted to make good the damage to palaces and public buildings by the storm of the Ist of August. 30,0001. was next proposed in payment of part of the ex. pense of works in Portland, recommended by the Commis sioners of Harbours of Refuge, in their report laid before Par liament in the last session. _ _ _ Mr. HUME said, as he understood convicts would be em ployed on these works, he wi•hcd to ask the Right Hon. Baronet ( Sir G. Grey) whether the plan of marks for good conduct would be introduced? Sir G. GREY said the harbour would afford excellent means of employment for those unfortunate persons. He hoped they would be able to adopt the plan referred to by the Hon. Member. The Vote was then agreed to. On the vote for a grant of 10,000 1 . for the erection of a model prison in Ireland, Mr. HUME said that the Government seemed more intent on providing prisons than on taking measures for preventing crime. He wished to know where the plan of that prison was. Sir GEORGE GREY said that he could best answer that question by referring to the substance of a letter which he had addressed to the Treasury 'on the subject. It was the custom in Ireland to ship off the transports as soon as possib:e after the sentence. The letter contained a recommendation for the erection of such a prison ; but it did not state whether it was to be in Dublin or elsewhere. The Government would shortly be better able to give more explicit information on that subject. Mr. WILLIAMS was sorry that the present Government was about to take up the crotchets of the late Home Secre tary on this subject. The expense they had been at in erect ing model prisons was very large, and there had been no evi dence whatever produced as to their utility. Sir GEORGE GREY vindicated the vote, and showed the necessity for such a prison as the vote was required for. Mr. HUME thought there was no use in having a model prison in Ireland, seeing that they had one at Pentonville, which was intended for the United Kingdom generally. Mr. DUNCONIBE said that the prison at Pentonville was conducted in a most admirable manner. The solitary system, as carried out at the prison at Alilibank, inflicted the greatest miseries upon those who were subjected to the process. When those individuals were admitted to the sight of a fellow creature they became so much affected that, in several instances, they fainted. Mr. HUME wished to know whether the same system as was carried on at the Pentonville Prison was to be carried out in the proposed model prison for Ireland? Because the expense of keeping each prisoner was between 14s. and 15s. weekly. Sir G. GREY—Twelve shillings. Mr. HUME—And at the lapse of three years they put this eountry to the expense of sending them to one of the penal settlements abroad, whilst they refused to advance to virtuous and industrious yoong men sufficient to enable them to go abroad for the purposeaof obtaining employment, which they could not meet with here. Such a system was an abso lute encouragement to the criminally minded young men of this country, and he should be sorry to see such a system carried out in Ireland. Mr. HAWES said that he had seen letters that day which spoke in the highest terms of the good conduct of the convicts who had been lately transported, and he thought it most expe dient to extend the benefits of the system to Ireland. Mr. HUME said that there were many persons who desired to get out far the purposes of emigration, but that they could not go, by reason of the expense, unless they committed some offence. The system appeared to him to give an encourage ment to crime instead of doing anything else.—( Hear. ) The item was theh agreed to.—The House resumed. In reply to a question from Lord LINCOLN, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was his intention, the first thing on Monday, to call attention to the distressed state of Ireland, and immediately after that question was disposed of the Small Debts Bill, and Navy Esti mates, would be proceeded with. The report on the Small Debts (Salaries and Compensation) Bill was brought up, and agreed to. The report on the Lunatic Ayslums and Pauper Lunatics Bill was brought up, and agreed to. The following reports were then brought up and received: —County Works Presentment (Ireland—No. 2) Bill (third reading to-morrow) —Public Works Commissioners' Bill (Ire land) ( third reading to-morrow ).—Public Works, Fisheries, &e., Bill—Publio Works (Ireland—No. 3) Bill (third time to-morrow— Public Works and Fisheries Bill The Public Works and Fisheries Bill was then read a third time and passed. The House then went into Committee on the House of Commons Officers' Bill. The clauses having been agreed to, The House resumed, and the CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. NAVAL AND MILITARY DEPARTMENTS BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that this Bill should go through Committee pro forma. After a few words from Dr. BOWRING and the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the motion was agreed to. The Bill then went through the Committee pro forma, and was ordered to be rect.mmitted to-morrow. _ The report of the Contageous Diseases Prevention Bill was postponed till to-morrow. PRIVATE BILLS BILL. _ _ This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted to-morrow. ..... .—..._.._... RATEABLE PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on this Bill. The clauses, with a few verbal amendments, were agreed to, the House resumed, the Chairman reported progress, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. (LEFT syrruca.) LYCEUM THEATRE. (THIS EVENING.) TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. DEAR SIR,—Mr. Keely has been taken suddenly ill. It is necessary to close the theatre this evening. May I ask the favour of your giving notice of this in this evening's paper, if possib:e.—Your much obliged, JOHN STURTZ. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, August 13. POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS. Lord BROUGHAM moved for a return of certain communications made to the Poor-law Commissioners. Ho stated that one of the Commissioners had taken upon himself to desire the secretary to the Commission not to make the return moved for in that House. The Commissioners ought to feel that they were bound to comply with the orders of their Lordships. They had neglected their duty in set ting themselves against the House by refusing to make the required return. It had been suggested to him that he was very wrong to move for the third time. The first time he moved, the motion was not complied with. He then moved that the return be made forthwith. He then moved, about a fortnight since, that the return he made forthwith. This was the fourth motion ; and he should move to-morrow, if the return was not made by five of the clock, that the Poor-law Commissioners be called before their Lordships. WEST INDIA COLONIES. Lord ABINGER presented a petition from the island of St. Vincent, in favour of the admission of free labour into the West India colonies. On the motion of the Noble Lord, the petition (which was a very long oue) was read by the Clerk at the Table. TREATY WITH DENMARK. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid upon the table of the House a copy of the treaty lately concluded be tween her Majesty and the King of Denmark upon the subject of the transmission of letters by post. POOR REMOVAL BILL. A NOBLE LORD presented a petition from a place the name of which we could not catch, against the fur ther progress of the Poor-law Removal Bill. The Poor Removal Bill then went through Committee, THE SUGAR DUTIES. On the motion for the second reading of the Sugar Duties Bill, The Bishop of OXFORD said that he could assure their Lordships that it was with feelings of the greatest diffidence that he addressed himself, even for a few moments, to that which, in his eye, was of a character peculiarly sacred.—(Hear, hear.) Ile felt particular pain in opposing her Majesty's Government on any question, but particularly on this, because the name of the Noble Marquis (Lansdowne) and of the Noble Earl next to him, the second who had borne that title, first became known to him in 1807 as the very advocates of that measure which had given freedom to the slave, and the advantages of w hi c h t h ey were now ready to abrogate. Had this been merely matter of finance, he would have been one of the last to moot it, but looking upon it, as he did, as one deeply affecting the moral character of the country, ho felt compelled to waive all private considerations, and act as he trusted he should have credit for acting, simply from the dictates of duty; and he considered that no man would allow but this was a sufficient in ducement for any one to overcome the repugnance of private feelings to oppose those whom he chiefly de sired to support. If he understood right, the matter as it now stood was thus put—first, that there was a ne cessity for increasing the supply of an article which, if not actually necessary, was of great consequence to the people, at least in the way of comfort; secondly, that the passing of this measure would facilitate the ex port of our manufactures. Sir James Hogg had said in the Lower How e that there was not enough of sugar in the sugar producing countries to fill the market as it ought to be filled. In order to obtain the increased supply from Cuba and other places, they did not propose to introduce machinery. They must obtain it by downright manual labour they must obtain it by an increased amount of labour of the slaves. The lash had already done its work; as much sugar was at present produced as could be pro duced, and death already trod hard upon the heels of the unfortunate negro employed in producing sugar. For every additional nineteen hogsheads of sugar they imported into this country an additional negro must be removed from Africa to labour; and this was not all, for it was the long train of cruelty and evil which arose from the iniquitous practice of transferring men by violence from their own shores to work as slaves in the countries of strangers. An argument had lately been used in that House against his proposition. It had been stated by the Noble Earl, that with all the increased production of sugar, the importation of negroesfrpm the coast of Af r i ca h a d no t increased. A calculation had been ma d e o f th e num ber of hogsheads increased n the exports, and showing that the imports of slaves had diminished. There was no means of knowing what quantity of sugar was produced du ced ~nd expo r t e d, nor the nunxber of slaves whichhad been introduced. Under the present law, it was known that the sugar could not be produced without labour, and that labour could not be produced without slaves. The proposed increase of the production of sugar could not be eti:cted without great alterations in the growing lands and alterations in the houses and manufactories for the preparation of sugar. It did appear to him, as far as the objection went, and on which very great weight was laid by the Noble Lord—as far as that objection went, the original position stood unshaken. Another argument was adduced—the greatest argument of all —and that was that it was not possible for them to object to the measure, because they allowed a 'ergo introduction of other articles from the same lands, They received Carolina cotto n , an d cou ld th ey raise any the introduction of C u b a sugar ? The Noblej Marquis would do him the justice n o t to i nclude him inthe number which he classed as disguised protectionists, for he was ready to proclaim himself a free trader as much as the Noble Marquis himself. With regard to the moral view of the case, of using these articles, was it not wrong to use such an argument before a great assembly of men as had been introduced on that point? Was it because he could not undo one evil that he was to consent to do another ? Was it because he could not legalise house breaking that be was to tolerate murder ? Because he could not prevent his people from trading with America in slave grown cotton, that he was to encourage the slave production of other articles in other countries ? Was he to be accused of hypocrisy because, knowing that one evil existed, he did not zonsent to inflict another ? It was also stated that there was a large importation of copper from Cuba to this country, and that the consumption of that article was allowed. He for one was ready to join her Ma jesty's Government in forbidding the introduction of copper into this country from Cuba, and he was sure that if the Noble Lord brought forward such a proposi tion, that he would meet with the most unqualified sup port from those around him.—(Hear.) Besides this country was itself a copper exporting country, and the copper said to be brought from Cuba was only smelted by English manufacturers and again sent out. As to the coffee question, he thought that the encouragement of the importation of coffee into England did not encourage the slave trade. 'The planter in the Brazils did not employ full-grown slaves in the plantations for they were strong and he wanted them. It was the labour of women and chil dren, and the encouragement of that labour would cause the planter to have a home-bred race o. negroes, and not to tear them away from the coast of Africa. With regard ' to the third argument which had been adduced, namely, that this country required an increased supply of sugar. They sought to effect that object in the most objection able way. The English people had no right to have any want supplied by injustice, cruelty, and rapine. They should facilitate their obtaining from every part of the earth that which they need, if it could be done through the lawful channel of commerce, but not even any of their wants ought to be supplied at the expense of the blood and lives of their fellow•beings.—(gear, hear.) Therefore, he said, that the argument that the measure was required to procure the people a sufficiency of one of the common necessaries of life was a fallacy. But there was another argument used in favour of the measure to which he must allude. It was said that, in the long run, the free-trade principles of the country would eventually lead to the abolition of slavery and the slave trade, because slave labour was confessedly dearer than free labour. He, however, de • nied this. It was not true that free labour was cheaper than slave labour ; but leaving that argument out of the question, it was said these free-trade principles were already producing great effects in the country where slavery existed. Now the wealthy planter might be dis posed to rest upon what he had got already, but the ad venturous planter, who was needy in his circumstances, and had his fortune to make, would hav4 recourse to that labour which he could procure with the least ex pense, and over which he could exercise the greatest amount of control, and this would stimulate the slave trade which was carried on between Africa and the slave states. It would be increased in the same degree that this measure would increase the supply of sugar for this country. Again it was argued that their present plans for putting down the slave trade had proved failures, and therefore an alteration was necessary. It was said that the slave trade at present was four times as great as it was in 1807, when they passed the Abolition Bill. Now he flatly denied that proposition.—(Hear, hear.) lie denied that at this moment there was a greater num ber of slaves exported from Africa than there were in 1807. It was said that the trade had increased to the extent of from 15,000 to 20,000 slaves annually ; but what had occasioned that increase but an extension of the sugar market ? In spite of all the difficulties they had raised against the slave trade, the extension of the sugar market had added to the number of slaves an nually exported from Africa—(Hear, hear)—and yet, even with this statement, which came from the other side before them, they were asked to pass a Bill which would extend the market still further. A Noble and Learned Lord opposite had told them, and truly, too, that the Brazils were approaching that period when they would join this country in putting down the slave trade. They had been almost reduced to do so, the Noble Lord said, because they were excluded from the British market; and yet they were about to put an end to the exclusion, on the ground that it had proved a failure.—(Hear, hear.) Just let the House remark the injustice of this. Had the exclusion continued, they would shortly have been in a position, with the aid of France, and other nations, so to blockade the African coast, that it would have been utterly impossible for a single slaver to elude the vigilance of the guard, while, on the other hand, a wholesome system of commerce would be opened up between the chiefs of that country and different parts of the world. —(Hear, hear.) Let the in pass that measure, and they would be re-opening the slave trade just at the very moment when there was a most reasonable expectation of their getting repaid for all the life, energy, and prin ciple they had sacrificed in the cause of justice and humanity. But what were they doing ? Why they were doing that which would render it impossible for them to ask other nations to assist them in suppressing a detestable traffic, and publishing to the whole of Europe the fact, that they were sacrificing a great prin ciple for the sake of expediency. Their passed plans he would contend, then, had been no failure, and he pro- tested against that measure because it was averse to the feelings of the great body of the people of this country. Wren slavery was abolished in their own West India Islands, they were told that it would be useless to do so, because the Dutch would take advantage of their Act, but it was urged then, and he urged it now, that this was no reason why this country should either directly or indirectly be a party to a great political crime. It was not fair that, because they wanted cheaper sugar, they should do an act which had a direct ten,lency to encourage slavery and the slave trade ; and, believing this would be the effect of the present measure, he w , , old conclude with moving, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that day three months.—(Hear.) The Bishop of LONDON said he was not aware that the discussion upon this Bill would have been taken upon the first reading, but he was glad it was so, be cause it had given him an opportunity of carefully con sidering the opinions of those who supported the mea sure. The conclusion he had come to, after carefully reading the debate of Monday night was, that if he sanctioned this measure, he thould be encouraging the slave-trade, the abolition of which was, in his opinion, the highest feature in the history of the country, and one which he considered might well be brought against the offences which th's country had some time ago, for a long period of years, committed against the cause of humanity.—(Hear, hear.) If they must have a large supply of sugar they must clearly encourage an increase in the traffic. Into Brazil and Cuba there were no less than 150,000 slaves imported annually, and if they wished to have an increased supply of sugar of 30,000 or 40,000 tons, they must also have an increase of 30,000 or 40,000 slaves imported to enable this quantity to be produced. If, then, it was true, and it could not be doubted, that for every one slave brought across the Atlantic two perished, let them look to the immense loss of life which the measure before the House would necessarily cause. He did not look at the question in the light of protection, but as a question of mortality, and believing that it would have the effect of inflicting such incalculable evils on those unfortunate creatures, he would, however unwillingly, enter his protest against the measure. That great statesman, Mr. Pitt, called it the greatest practical evil that was ever inflicted on man kind, and fully concurring in that opinion, and feeling that any thing said more would weaken the effect made upon their Lordships by the speech of his Right Rev. Friend, he would conclude by supporting his amendment. The Marquis of LANSD3WNE considered that one of the Right Rev. Prelates who had just addressed them, had peculiar claims on their attention with regard to this question, inasmuch as he bore the name of one whose name was imperish able with regard to the accursed slave-traffic.— (Hear, hear.) Great, however, as had been his eloquence, he thought that if they did not adopt the question before the House they would be guilty of a piece of incon sistency which no language could adequately describe. If the Right Rev. Prelate had heard an opinion ex pressed that the great question of the abolition of the slave-trade was a failure, it was not from him, nor any of his Noble Friends, such an opinion ever came. When his Right Rev. Friend made use of the name of a Noble Friend of his, to the effect that every energy would be taxed to put down the slave-trade, he trusted that he would also give weight to the opinion of that Noble Friend, who also stated that to open a free trade with Brazil was one of the most effectual means for the suppression of the slave trade. He, therefore, again indulged the hope that by the adoption of this more generous and liberal policy—by the medium of commerce— this measure would lead to the propagation and esta blishment of greater moral and religious principles; and knowing the moral and religious feelings, and the noble principles of the people of this country, he could under take to state they considered this a measure which met their approval, as the presentation of only six against it amply proved, for had it been otherwise,ith enun- Lordships' table would have been covered petitions against ciations against it. Considering how m uc t h w the subject detain_ . their had been discussed already, he Would no Lordships at greater length, but conclude by calling upon them to support the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR having put the amend ment, and no Nobl e Lord having risen to addr ess t h e House, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and their Lordships divided, when the numbers were—.

Several other Bills were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF CONIMONS, August 13. FLOGGING IN THE AIISIY. Mr. WAKLEY said that, after having examined, his opinion was unchanged. Their motion was not refused without a motive, for he believed it would be very inconvenient to produce these returns, as they would give facts to show that the brutal and disgusting practice of punishment by flogging ought to be at once and for ever abolis He inferred, from what bad fallen from the Hon. Gen tleman opposite, that in his opinion the practice of go e g: ging had nearly arrived at its termination. Why, wh the number of lashes was reduced from 1,500 to 1,00 0 , the reduction was hailed with delight by the army' but still an opinion prevailed that the num ber could not be further reduced. The number, however, was subsequently reduced to 200, and then the reductionwas admitted to be necessary; but still it was thoug ht in the army that it could not further be reduced. N ow the number had been reduced to 50, and the army 0 .1 ) : proved of the reduction, but still it was thought the number could not be further reduced. Now, leaving out of the question the physical evils which arose, from flogging, leaving out of the question the phYs ica , sufferings which it involved, he ask e d w hether it %o f humane, whether it was just, that even the poweq e inflicting fifty lashes should exists---(Hear, hear.) t hop, d that this system of flog g i ng i n t h e ar my was an to last for ever. He felt quit e cer t a i n that no a could receive fifty lashes from a cat-o-nine tails t. with out his life being in danger. Th e l as h w i t h such a ' with nine knots on each thong, was equal to e ightyl strokes.—(Hear, hear.)
