The intelligence received from India and China, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, is of very trifling political importance. Notwithstanding the sullen lethargy which has been evidenced by the population of Lahore, and the insubordinate conduct of the Seikh warriors at Peshawur, in consequence of a defalcation among their paymasters, there appears to be every prospect of the maintenance of tranquillity under the new Government. Indeed, the only chance of any revival of disturbance in the Punjaub is offered by the duplicity of the Raja of MOOLTAN. The armaments which had been dispatched from the capital with the intention of compelling that cheiftain to liquidate a very considerable amount still re maining due, appear to have been recalled, from the circumstance of 50,0001. being offered in compensation for the delay of payment. As the NAwAB, however, merely availed himself of the truce consequent upon these negotiations to prepare himself for any emer gency, there seems to be every probability of a collision between his forces and the Anglo-Indian soldiery. Whether any serious consequences might not result from the development of such feelings of hostility so soon after the new organization of these territories, unless those sentiments were immediately and decisively suppressed, is a consideration of ex treme interest. Nerve and determination must be displayed on the inauguration of the new system, otherwise matters may rapidly fall into disorder, and the Government in its very youth evince signs of premature decrepitude. The Nawab of MOOLTAN is a wily and active prince, requiring alertness and reso lution on the part of his antagonist. His intellect is one of that supple character which, unless observed with the utmost vigilance, and thwarted with the utmost decision, might obtain an opportunity of re-asserting his domination out of the very circumstances of his vassalage. In the East, as everywhere else, it must be—diamond cut diamond. Our readers will remember the terrible catas trophe of the 20th of May at Loodianah, when the temporary barracks of her MAJESTY'S 50th and the sepoy guard from the 73d Native Infantiy, were destroyed by a hurricane. It cannot assuredly be forgotten that eighty-eight human beings perished on that occasion from the wilful negligence of those who had been deputed to superintend the safety and comfort of the different regiments, and that one hundred and fifty of the unfortunate men quartered in those ricketty buildings had been seriously mutilated by an accident which, with proper precaution, would never have occurred. We are deeply grieved to observe that another specimen of the pernicious consequence of this negli gence of those in whom negligence is least excusable, has caused another calamity of a different nature, and of less serious results numerically, though equally deplorable with the one already mentioned. According to the information con tained in the Bombay Times, the victims of care lessness in this instance appear to have been the wives and children of her MAJESTY'S 17th and 60th Regiments. On the departure of these troops from Sinde their families were left at Poonah, but hav ing subsequently received permission to join their husbands and fathers at Kurrachee, the latter imme diately hastened thither. During their journey these unhappy creatures were attacked with cholera, and this, be it particularly observe 3, in consequence of the execrable arrangements for their shelter and provision. Fifteen children and fifteen women perished out of a company of three h'undred and forty-eight. These occurrences should be submitted to a rigid investigation by those authorised to prevent their recurrence. Sepoys have already a sufficiently precarious tenure of existence to render it indifferent whether they may not be crushed to a mummy at every high wind ; and the miseries of a soldier's wife on active service are in themselves punishment enough for the " perpetration of matrimony" to require any additional misfortunes from bad lodging, bad food, bad drink, or bad attend ance. Perhaps the most interesting intelligence received by this packet is that of the unconditional surrender of Kote Kangra, a fortress hitherto considered to be impregnable. Nothing could more strikingly have evinced the happy result of promptitude in warfare than the capitulation of this garrison. While it was vaunting its security, and treating the threats of the Government with derision, it was suddenly panic-stricken by the tlyexpected arrival of the A nglo-Indian troop:- before it?, embattlements IN ith a formidable urrtiy of heavy artillery. The manoeuvre not merely awed the garrison into instant submission, but has aroused the astonishment of the northern inhabitants generally. The impression is, if possible, confirmed that English arms are invincible. KoteKangra has re evidenced the puissance displayed at Sobraon. Gratified, however, as we must undoubtedly be at such signal assurances of the awe—the wholesome awe—inspired into our Asiatic subjects and the people of the neighbouring states by the valour of our brave soldiers, we cannot but be the more fully im pressed with the necessity that exists for consulting in every possible particular the happiness, the social comfort, the health and the moral welfare of those same instruments of our Eastern dominion. It should never be forgotten that our prosperity in that wonderful empire, which is surrounded byAaiatic Russia, Hindostan, China, and the Indian Ocean, is dependent solely upon the loyalty and subordination and courage of our armies. Considering this, and remembering the deeds they have achieved from Seringapatam to Jellalabad, that their heart's blood has flowed freely on the battle-plains, and that their constitutions have been wasted in our service, let us, in the name of justice, in the name of gratitude, and in the name of policy, shield them from any unnecessary suffering, and preserve them from any superfluous dangers ! Hurricanes and con tagious diseases are unquestionably casualties which no human foresight can prevent. We grant that; but we do not grant that barracks must by necessity be built of cardboard, or of gingerbread, or of such flimsy materials as are subverted at the first change in the atmosphere ; nor can we perceive the obligation that exists of treating the wives and children of soldiers with little more tenderness than that evinced by GoNERIL and REGAN. Better abolish all the trumpery of ribbons and medals, and build good barracks and resting-places of substantial brick. A discussion of considerable interest took place in the House of Lords last night, on the occasion of the presentation of a petition by Earl FORTESCUE, for the abolition of flogging in the army. The declaration of the Duke of WELLINGTON, who commands an influence far beyond that of mere official rank, is highly gratifying—viz., " that in consequence of the feeling of the Government, of Parliament, and of the public on it, he had taken upon himself greatly to diminish its severity, and he hoped that with that arrangement which may be made in fu ture in the alteration of the law it may be still fur ther diminished, so as to lead at last to its final dis continuance." 'We have here the direct admission of the universal detestation with which the horrible sys tem is regarded by persons of all ranks and condi tions throughout the nation. With the Government, the Parliament, and the public arrayed against it, their feelings strongly excited on the point, there would be little prospect of its being suffered much longer to remain the stigma, the disgrace of the British nation ; but we have also the intimation given by the only man who could, even for a time, resist that feeling, that " he hopes it may be still further diminished, so as to lead to its final discontinuance." This is a cheering an nouncement for those who are conscientiously opposed to the practice, but they must not on that account relax their exertions, or abandon the agitation they were about to commence. Already steps have been taken for the formation of a society to promote the abolition of flogging in the army and navy. Within one single week a meeting will be held at Exeter Hall for that purpose, and sincerely do we hope that on that occasion the friends of huma nity will not be wanting—that a demonstration so powerful will be made as to convince those who still advocate the necessity of its continuance, that othei and less objectionable means must be de vised for the preservation of military discipline. Much has of late years been done in mitigation of the grievance ; the number of lashes which can by any possibility be ordered, have been diminished from 1,200 or 1,500 to 200, and since the recent re gulation to 50. Has that regulation impaired the efficiency of the army, or made it more diffi cult to maintain the proper and necessary subor dination? Far from it; in proportion to the reduction of lashes, the discipline has been improved, the sol diers have been more orderly and better disposed. His Grace himself has borne his strongest testimony in that behalf; he says—" I assure you that the troops are now, at this moment, daily in the per formance of services which you would not require— nay, I go further, and say that you could not have, from any other troops in the world." And again—" If any acccident happens, such as ship wreck, they act in the most admirable manner, and I find that they acquire the confidence of all." This conduct, so justly described by his Grace, must surely satisfy any unprejudiced and dis passionate mind that the persons so eulogised are capable of being influenced by other and higher motives than those of fear. They have so distin guished themselves, not by reason of, but in despite of the lash. It is a universally admitted fact, that wriat are usually styled flogging regiments are in a worse state of organisation, in every respect inferior to those in which the cat has been suffered to fall into disuse. The commanding officers who have taken the lead in this humane experiment have at tained a degree of popularity in their respective re giments that has had the effect of inducing the men to do that from love which could not be produced by fear alone. In no instance has it been found that men have become worse in consequence of their being treated as men, and net degraded to the condition of brutes. How can you possibly hope for the maintenance of that high spirit of honour, the existence of which is so necessary in the army, essentially an honourable profession, if its members are subjected to such degradation? We may be pardoned for again quoting the opinions of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, as to the improved state of discipline consequent upon the de crease of corporal punishment. That gallant General says, " When I was a subaltern, the army was not in a high state of discipline, yet the punishments were extremely severe. Now the army is in a high state of discipline, and punishments are comparatively mild." And, speaking of the present state of the army he says, " It is difficult to imagine an army that has not seen services to be in a more perfect state of discipline, as far as the private soldiers are considered." This is evidence that cannot be impeached or underrated, The Gallant Officer then draws a picture of what punishment was, contrasted with what it now is : " That he then frequently saw 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1,000, sentenced by regimental courts-martial, and generally every lash inflicted ; the unhappy victim of such barbarous work brought out from hospital three or four times to receive the remainder of his punishment, too severe to be borne without danger of death, at one flogging, and sometimes the prolonged torture applied, for the avowed purpose of adding to its severity." Let the same witness answer to its effects :—" Yet, with all the above stated severity (may I not say ferocity ?) of discipline, I have proved that the army was then in an inferior state to what it is now. And if it be asked why, with such severe punishments to restrain crime, was not the army in a higher state of discipline ? I answer, because every soldier who beheld such bloody execu tions lost sight of the criminal, and beheld only a martyr in the flogged man. The cool reason of every man of sense condemned the cruelty, and crime lost, its shame, when over-severity of punishment turned the criminals into heroes." Again, we find the following :—" A dreadful flogging, disproportioned to the crime resolutely borne, sends more men away with their courage whetted, to irritate the culprit, than struck with fear of being placed in his situation. The law becomes judged, condemned, and defied as an enemy. If the poor culprit sends forth screams of agony, if he faint, he is an object of pity, perhaps of contempt--a poor devil that it is a sin to cut up ; and a sin, in such cases as I have stated; no doubt it is. The man of reflection needs no other proof of the inefficiency of the excess of punishment as it then stood than those I have given. It was cruel and it was not effectual." Again—" When punishments are slight, their effect is powerfully added to by the hearty concurrence evinced by the public in their justice--the culprit finds no c.ommisseration. If pu- oishments a ye over severe, the culprit is sustained by public• pity, and the violence of 1.i4 punishment is thus mitigated, even though the public think him justly condemned." We cannot apologise for the length at which we have quoted from this admirable work. Every opinion expressed therein carries with it a conviction to tha mind of the sincerity of the writer, of the justice and accuracy of the views he has put forth. Now that the public feeling is so strongly excited on the topic, we cannot render better service than by putting prominently forward the deliberate opinions of a man like Sir CHARLES NAPIER. There is not a single page of his work on military law and flogging from the perusal of which it would be possible to rise without new reasons being forced on the mind why the revolting practice should be altogether abolished. They are not new opinions taken up by him to suit the present occasion ; they have grown with his growth and strengthened with his strength. Forty years of service in all parts of the world, during which he has gained immortal honours for himself, and attained the highest glory ; where his services in every station, whether as subaltern or commander, were such as to entitle him to the laurels he has received, the fame he has won, have only confirmed the impressions originally inculcated by his renowned father, a father worthy of such a hero, and the father of heroes, and who oftentimes stated to his son, " that flogging was an inhuman, and, in peace, an unnecessary punishment, injurious to those honourable feelings that he justly held to be the great principle by which troops should be mainly governed ;" and who, of course, thought, with such feelings, "that flogging ought to be abolished." A letter from Kiel, of the 4th of August, says : " The congress of German lawyers which was to have met at Kiel on the 6th of this month, but the meeting of which has been forbidden by the Danish Government, will be held in the island of Heligoland, which since 1815 has belonged to England. The congress will be opened on the 14th of this month, and proceed to deliberate on the measures to be adopted in order to secure in all the states of Ger many the establishment of the public and oral examina tion of witnesses in all judicial proceedings, and trial by jury in all criminal cases." Letters from Rome state that the POPE has dis patched Monsignore CoanoLt Bussi to Bologna, with orders to dismiss the 400 Swiss in garrison there. These men, who were engaged for twenty years, will be paid an indemnity. The laws of Rome re quire that none but Roman Catholics should serve in the Swiss guards, and as more thanone-half of those at present serving in the Roman territory are Pro testants, it is said that the POPE will take advantage of that circumstance to diminish the difficulties in the way of annulling the treaty with the Helvetic Con federation. The deputation of Jews which went up to congra tulate the POPE on his accession, was well received. His HOLINESS, on the 15th ult., issued an ordonnance permitting Jews in distress to share in the alms dis tributed by his orders. Madrid journals of the sth have arrived. Great preparations were making at La Granja for the re ception of her MAJESTY. It was rumoured in Madrid that differences had occurred in the Cabinet between the Minister of Justice and his colleagues, in conse quence of his having taken upon himself, without con sulting them, to decree the suppression of the Com mittee charged with preparing the new code. According to the Espanol, M. MON has dispatched the Director-General of the Sinking Fund to Lon don, on a financial mission. The following royal ordonnance, modifying the import duties on cotton goods, has just been promul gated : "Art. 1. Cotton from foreign ports and colonies, which are not places of the production, will continue to pay the present duty. "2. Cotton coming direct from the foreign parts where it is produced, will pay a customs duty of 5 per cent. on the valuation of 256 reels the quintal. "3. If a vessel arriving at the Havannah, or at Puerto Rico, demand the depot of their cargo without discharging, it shall be granted, on paying a duty of 1 per cent., and the same amount on leaving, and a duty of 3 per cent. at the port of its destination. "4. Cotton coming from the Spanish colonic:2, and of Spanish production, will continue to pay the present duty. "5. The preceding provisions only relate to cotton im ported in Spanish bottoms; cotton in foreign vessels will continue to pay the duties hitherto levied." MARID, BVLSA, AUG. s.—The Three per Cents. were done at 337 for cash, the Five per Cents. at 23, the Four per Cents. at 21 3 / 4 , the Debt without Interest at 6 3 / 4 , and the Coupons at 20. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Journal des Debats says— " On Monday next the Chamber of Peers and the new Chamber of Deputies will be opened for the short session, in which the latter will proceed to the verification of the quali fication of its members, and to the formation of its bureaux. It is said that the King will open this session in person, and that his Majesty will confine himself to expressing in a few words his satisfaction at seeing assembled around him the representatives of the nation. The Chambers will reply by an address to the words of the King, and, after the verifica tion of qualifications, the nomination of the presidents, of the vice-presidents, the secretaries, and the questors, the session will be prorogued to the usual period, the end of De cember or the beginning of January. It is at that time that the usual opening speech will be made. It is thought that the preparatory session, which will open on the 17th instant, will not continue beyond the beginning of September." The Presse estimates the Conservative majority in the new Chamber at 124, the Debuts at 107. The following statistics of the new Chamber may be found not uninteresting : "New writs must be issued, when the Chamber meets, for five colleges in which there have been double returns, but it is more than probable that in all these cases members will be nominated of the same opinions as those called on to resign one of their seats. The double returns alluded to are, on the Conservative side, those of M. de Salvandy for Evreux and Lectour ; an d, on the Opposition side, of M. G. de Beaumont, for Mainers and Saint Calais; General de Th lats. for Chalons and Lannion ; M. Paillet, for Chateau-Thierry and La Ro chelle; and M. Berger, for Thiars and the second Arrondisse ment of Paris. The numbn . of new Deputies amounts to 117, of whom 84 are Conservative and 33 Oppositionists. The number of Conservatives who sat in the late Chamber, and have not been re-elected in 1846, is 57 ; and that of the Opposition Deputies in the same case, 60. Out of these 57 Conserva tives not re-sleeted, 24 did not stand at the late election; out of the 33 others, 20 were replaced by Conservatives, and 13 ousted by the Opposition. Out of the 60 Opposi sition Deputies not re-elected, 16 did not come forward ; whilst out of the 44 remaining, 7 were replaced by gen tlemen of their own political opinions, and 37 thrown out by Conservatives. 'We have in a former article al luded to the discomfiture of the Legitimatist party; it will therefore be sufficient at present merely to state, in addi tion, that they have lost 17 seats and gained 6, leaving a difference of 11 against them, or about half their number in the Chamber. The public press has found particular favour at the late election, and will be more fully repre• sented in the ne w Ch am b er than on any occasion since 1789. Independently of the great number of Deputies known to write in periodicals, we find six jou!nalists be longing to the Paris press elected, viz., M. E. de Girar din, of the Presse; M. Leon Faucher and M. Chambolle, of the Sh?cle; N. Louis Reynaud, of the Courrier Francais; the Abbe de Genoude, of the Gazette de France; and M. C. Lesseps, of the Commerce. Two other well• known members of the Paris press stood, but have been thrown out, viz., N. Michel Chevalier, the able writer of articles on political eco nomy in the _Mats, and M. Cuvillier Fleury, a contributor to the same journal. As the principle of free trade at pre sent excites so much attention, we cannot better conclude this sketch than by stating that the principal libre-echan gistes, or supporters of that doctrine, in the new Chamber, are MM. Theodore Ducos, Clappier, Lherbette, De Lamar tine, Blanqui, Leon Faucher, and Reybaud ; while against it are, in the Left Centre, M. Thiers ; in the Centre, M. Dar blay ; in the Extreme Left, M. Marie; and on the Minis terial bench, M. Cunin Gridaine, Minister of Commerce. The elections for Corsica, which are expected to be both in favour of Ministers, will take p l ac e on the Bth, and th e new Chamber will meet on the 17th." _ _ It is probable that before the Chamber meets Mar shal SOULT will have retired from the Presideney of the Minstry. On the subject of his successor we find the following in the Portefeuille : "We have announced that M. Guizot had proposed the Duke de Broglie to his Majetv as the successor of Marshal Soult as President of the Council of -Ministers. We can now add that the choice of the Duke de Broglie has met the ap probation of all the members of the Cabinet. The question is, however, will the Duke de Broglie accept the oiler ?" The gen era l op i n i on appea rs to be that the Duke DE BROGU E will not accept office, and in that case the Presidency o f th e Mi n i stry w ill be conferred on M. GUIZOT. Dispatches have been received from Captain BE RARD, of the Rhin, dated from St. Helena, in which he states that he had visited the French colony at Akawa, in New Zealand, and found everthing tran quil. Captain BERARD adds, that he had received from the Governor of New Zealand an assurance that arrangements had been made between the Eng lish Government and the Nanto,Bordelaise Company respecting this colony. "We have received," says the Constitutionnel, "some details of an unsatisfactory nature relative to our squadron on the western coast of Africa. Before the departure of the vessels, some of the captains having complained of the quality of the provisions furnished to them, Captain BOUET, Chief of the Staff of the Division, made a general inspection, and found that the biscuit, among other things, was in a bad state. He declared that it wzzs necessary to change it, but a stnalt portion only of the damaged part was re placed, and it has since been necessary to throw the remainder into the sea, and without the means of getting another suppl: h as none is to te procured at Senegal. Some months since two cargoes of sup plies were sent to Rear-Admiral MONTAGNIES DE LA ROQUE, but they did not all arrive in good condition, which is partly attributed to the great heat expe rienced in France. However well-founded this ex cuse may be, our seamen are either short of provi sions, or are compelled to live in a manner which may prove prejudicial to their health. There are already a great number of sick in the squadron, the greater part of whom are to be sent to Europe." Bayonne was visited on the 3d by a violent thun • der-storm, which, in a few minutes, completely destroyed most of the gardens, the branches of trees falling as if cut through by a hatchet. Windows were broken in all directions. Some of the hailstones were as large as hens' eggs, angular and pointed like stalactites.

DRAINAGE OF LANDS BILL. On the motion of Mr. ESTCOURT, this B►ll was read a third time and passed. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were agreed to:—Firth and Cl)de Navigation and Bowling Bay Improve ment ; Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal Navigation and Railway, and Manchester and Leeds Railways Amalgamation ; Salthouse Embankment; West Riding Union Railways (No. 2); and Wolverhampton Stipendiary Justice. EFFECT OF SHOT ON STEAM VESSELS. Mr. WA WN gave notice that he should to-morrow ask two questions on this subject. DUKE OF NORFOLK'S ESTATE. On the motion of Mr. ESTCOURT, it was agreed that an instruction be given to the Committee of Selection to fix the Committees on the Duke of Norfolk's Estate Bill, and on Bond's Estate Bill, for Monday next, and that the Committees on those Bills have leave to report the same day. PRIVATE BILLS. Lord MORPETH obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regu late the course of private Bills. SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL. On the order of the day for this Bill being read, Lord .MORPETH said that if the Hon. Member (Mr. Mackinnon) would consent to withdraw his Bill for the present session, in which there appeared little probability of its passing, he would assure him, on the part of the Government, that he would give his best attention to the subject, with a view to its settlement, early next year. Mr. MACKINNON felt himself to be in a delicate situation, for he had this very day received communications from Liver pool, Leeds, and Manchester, urging him to press the Bill forward. From a' printed statement, it appeared that not less than 60,0001. a-year were spent more in soap, in Liverpool alone, than would be necessary if the smoke nuisance were abated, and taking the whole of the manufac turing districts, there were net less than 180,0001. a-year absolutely lost in this way, so that there was every inducement to urge the matter on. He had indeed been already censured for supineness by the public prints. Yet he felt by persevering in this course, he would be Injuring his own cause, for he was aware th a t a t thi s pe r i o of the session it was impossible for any individual Member to press any measure against the opposition of the Government. All an individual Member could do was to keep a matter continually before the House, until the public were alive to the fact that it was to their interest to have it carried into effect, and thus to create that pressure from with out which would have a salutary effect within. He had done all that one individual Member could do, and he trusted that in thus handing his pet child over to the Noble Lord, that he would be exonerated from blame by those influential papers which had previously accused him. He trusted that hit child would be properly nursed, and at last carried into a healthy existence. Lord MORPETH trusted that the Hon. Member would be satisfied with his assurance. Mr. MACKINNON intimated his assent, and the Bill was withdrawn. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL. This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be corn mitted to-morrow. TURNPIKE ROADS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Friday. LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND) BILL. The Committee on this Bill was postponed till to-morrow. WRECK AND SALVAGE BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. RELIGIOUS OPINIONS BILL. On the motion for the House going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. WALPOLE objected to the Bill being taken up now, on the ground that it was so similar to another Bill previously in troduced in the present session by the Hon. Member for Kin sale as to place it in that catagory which precluded its being adopted according to Parliamentary usage. The SPEAKER decided that it was not so similar as to put it into that position. Mr. ESCOTT conceived that it would be better to go on with the Bill, but believed that the Bill as it came down from the House of Lords was the best form it could be placed in. Yet he believed that the amendments which he hid to pro pose were necessary to make it perfect. These discussions were always painful, and by settling the question now, the evil of another discussion would be altogether saved. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that if the Commons were to send up Bills with a number of amendments, which en tirely altered the nature of the Bill, they could not expect otherwise but that it would be thrown out. The truth was, that the Bill introduced by the Hon. Member for Kinsale was only lost by a majority of four on the motion for going into Committee, in a House of 200 Members.. The Bill as it came from the Lords had been very maturely considered, and he certainly should oppose any amendments that might be made in it. Mr. HENLEY thanked the Noble Lord for his straight forward dealing in the matter, and said that the Hon. Member for Winchester proposed the curious anomaly of saving the pain of having one more discussion next year, in order that he might have the pain of two discussions this. Mr. ESTCOURT said that as he had been the means of causing the rejection of the previous Bill, he had been asked what course he intended to pursue on this occasion. To this he replied, that, seeing the state of the case, he was prepared to allow the Bill to pass as it was; he should oppose any amend ments of any kind, come from what side of the House it might. Mr. SHAW should also oppose the amendments of the Hon. Member for Winchester. The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY approved of the amendments, and if his Hon. Friend divided the House he should feel it his duty to divide with him. The House then went into Committee, and the first and second clauses were passed. On the third clause being put, Mr. ESCO rr proposed the introduction of the words in part of it " consequent thereon," which would have the eifCct of doing away with the penalties, which the Bill in its present state did not. Lord J. RUSSELL said that his object was to carry this Bill in the form in which it had come down from the House of Lords. It had been prepared by Lords Lyndhurst, Campbell, and Brougham, and the whole of the matter had been fully and duly considered. They did not propose to make that lawful which was previously illegal by common law, Lut only to abrogate the penalties imposed for that which was now allowed to be no fault. Ills desire was to carry the Bill as it came from the Lords. The SOLICITOR GENERAL contended that the clause as it now stood was perfectly correct, and better without the proposed words than with them. The Bill took away the severe penalties, but left any breach of the common law just as it stood before. Mr. ESCOTT believed that the Noble Lord was of his own opinion, and he thought that opinion ought not to be made to succumb to the House of Lords. Lord JOHN RUSSELL explained that he objected to the discussion being taken on the point at that late period of the session, when but a small number of Members interested in the subject were present. After some conversation the House divided, when there appeared— For the Amendment. Against it 53 Majority against the Amendment .... 43 Mr. R. YORKE appealed to the Hon. Member (Mr. Escott), after the decision of the House, the lateness of the session, and the small number of Members present, to with draw the remaining amendments. Mr. ESCOTT had great respect for the :opinions of the Hon. Member; and although he was dissatisfied with the de cision of the Committee, and considered that the House of Commons would also be dissatisfied, he should not press the other amendments to a division. At the same time, he wished to state that he should not relax his °position to the Bill in its futare stages. The amendments were then withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. Mr. SPOONER objected to the next clause on the ground that it would violate the oath of supremacy and the oath taken by Members of that House, which set forth that no foreign pontiff should be allowed to interfere in any way with the religious opinions of the subjects of this realm, whereas the Pope would have the power of issuing bulls affecting the opinions of the people of this country by this Bill. He pressed the Noble Lord to postpone the clause until next session, in order that it might be more fully discussed. He moved the omission of the objectionable words, and expressed his intention of dividing the House on the subject if the explana tion of the Government was not satisfactory. Lord JOHN RUSSELL defended the clause, and held that as it was framed, the Pope would not have the rower of inter faring with the religious opinions of the people of this country, or any portion of them professing religion, in the way pointed out by the Hon. Gentleman. According to his understanding of the oath, he did not think there was anything in the oath which was inconsistent with the fact, as it is or would be after the passing of this Act. If the introduction of any bull were unlawful at present, it would be unlawful hereafter; and if there were any bull which it wo u ld b e l aw f u l to i n t ro d uce now, it would be lawful hereafter. What he understood by the oath was, that there was no jurisdiction to be exercised in this country by the Pope which c ould be enforced by an y of the courts of law, or recognised by the Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's 4cnth. Thsro was a bull of the Voge a short time since •Nltich forbid the Rowan Ca.ilwlic Bishops to inter fere in any political question, as their coneein v.as entirely Witii spiritual affairs. Ilis HGII. Friend represented to him that the rescript said that they should not too much concern themselves in any political transac tions.— (Laughter. ) Would his Honourable Friend think that the Roman Catholic bishop was criminal for attending to that rule, and wittdrawing from Conciliation Hall, or ceasing to inter fere with the repeal agitation ? He did not see in the Act then before the House anything at all to aft,et the oath of supremacy as it then existed, Mr. ESTCOURT made some observations which did not reach the gallery. Mr. SHAW said that it was quite clear, as the Noble Lord had said, that in all respects, except as to the penalties and punishments, the law should remain the same as it was then. He thought that these punishments were unnecessarily severe, and ought to be withdrawn. Mr.WALPOLE thought that it would be unjust to retain those penalties referred to by the Noble Lord, and he hoped that the Hon. Member would not press the House to a division on the clause. Mr. SPOONER said that it was a dangerous principle to put a construction upon the oath of supremacy which was different from the terms of that oath. The omission of the words in the oath showed that such a construction was never intended to be put upon it. He, for one, would not consent to allow any jurisdiction, spiritual or temporal, by any foreign power, over any subject u ithin these realms. Mr. SHELL said that the words of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department, " bishops and archbishops," recognised the persons bearing that title as persons having spiritual authority. The word " ministers" was formerly used. Mr. B. ESCOTT said that the passing of this Act was opening the way for sweeping away all this rubbish, and the time would come when they would cease to punish men for their religious opinions. The remainder of the clauses were agreed to without dis cussion. The Bill was then reported to the House, and or dered to be engrossed, and read a third time to-morrow. GAUGE OF RAILWAYS BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. MUNTZ rose to add a clause to the Bill. It was in order to give the people of Birmingham that accom modation on both gauges to London to which they were entitled. According to the provisions of the present Bill, the inhabitants of Birmingham, would be in a much worse position than the people of Wolverhampton, who would have lines on both gauges to London, whereas Birmingham would be restricted to the narrow gauge. The clause he proposed was in effect to make it imperative that the Birmingham and Oxford line from Birmingham to the point at which it joined with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway, should be laid down on the broad as well as the narrow gauge. In justice to the people of Birmingham, he felt bound to submit this clause. The clause having been brought up, and read from the chair, Mr. MILNER GIBSON rose to oppose the adoption of the clause. In doing so he went into the circumstances that led to the introduction of the present Bill. It was founded on the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the gauge question, and a Committee which had sat on the question confirmed the recommendations of that report. The Bill had passed through the House of Lords, from whence it had come down to the present House. He complained of the Hon. Member for Birmingham proposing his clause at this late stage of the Bill, when he had had many opportunities before of submitting his amend ment, and when he might have brought the special case involved in his clause under the consideration of the Com. mittee that sat on the question of the gauges. Had the case been submitted to the Committee, and they considered it founded in fairness, they would, no doubt, have specially re ported in its favour. Under the circumstances he must give his opposition to the clause. Mr. SPOONER supported the clause, as absolutely neces sary for the great trading interests of Birmingham. He had heard no reason whatever against the clause, but the complaint that his Hon. Colleague had introduced it too late. If the clause was a just one, he thought such an objection should not for a moment be entertained against it. Mr. P. M. STEWART begged to inform the Hon. Member for Birmingham that the suggestion for making the broad gauge from Birmingham to Oxford was submitted to the Com mittee referred to, but after a full consideration of the point, and referring to the report of the Commissioners, the suggestion was laid aside. But he opposed the clause on national grounds, as he would not be a party to support an extension of a gauge which he had no doubt would ultimately be given up by the whole country. The break of gauge was a great inconvenience, and any exten sion of the broad gauge would, in his opinion, increase that evil. Some equitable mode should be discovered for making a uniform gauge throughout the country. This resolution would militate against the recommendation of the Com missioners appointed by the House. If he were a shareholder in the Birmingham and Oxford Company, he would object to the broad gauge principle. The Bill would go beyond the resolutions of the House; and then came the proposition of the Hon. Member for Birming ham to sanction for the length of thirty miles what was looked upon as a great evil—viz., a diversity of gauge. Uniformity must eventually be established throughout the country. If the alteration contemplated in the gauge near Birmingham was ever to be made it had better be deferred until the country had resolved upon an uniformity of gauge from John e' Groat's House to the land's end.—.(Hear, hear. ) (LEFT SITTING.) RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room C. IMPORTANT DECISION. OLDHAM, LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, AND ZURIEENIIMAD JUNCTION. The Committee having heard during the early part of the morning the conclusion of the evidence on this Bill, have come to the following decision . That the Oldham people are entitled to a better line than they have at present; but they do not think that the one before them is the best line that can be found; therefore the preamble is not proved. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Mrs. Blewitt, the widow of Blewitt, the unfortunate victim of the youth Graham's carelessness, appeared to-day to make an application to Mr. Henry, with respect to the money sub scribed for the benefit of her child, which, it will be remem bercid, she endeavoured to obtain some part of a few days after the conclusion of the case at this Court. She stated that Mr. Le Raux, a Catholic priest, and a person of consi derable influence and authority at the Catholic school in Clarendon-square, Somers-town, had undertaken to get the child into that establishment, on payment of certain fees of trifling amount. She was, therefore, anxious to have the money, or some part of it, given up to Mr. Le Raux. She herself intended, as soon as she could get the child provided for to go to service. If she failed, however, in getting her child into this school she would bc obliged to have recourse to parochial assistance. _ . Mr. HENRI , was perfectly willing to give up any part of the money, if he was convinced that it would be for the benefit of the child alone. He feared, however, that the ap plicant only wanted to get possession of the money herself. However, if Mr. Le Raux would call at the office and satisfy him that the money would be applied to the uses of the child alone, he would be willing to give it up; or if the applicant should determine upon applying to the parish, he might perhaps give it. up to the parochial authorities for the purpose of placing the child at their school. Mrs. Blew itt preferred having the child at the Catholic school where she " would know the child would be taught as she should wish," and it was therefore settled that Mr. Le Raux should be requested to appear here on Saturday. [Mr. Le Raux is the superior of this school; he is cele brated in the neighbourhood for his benevolence and un ostentatious charity, and is universally esteemed and re spected by the inhabitants, more especially of the poorer classes, of the vicinity.] MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. We have again to report the arrival of a very moderate quantity of Wheat of home produce for our markets, coast wise as well as by land carriage and sample; yet the general quality was good, especially the new parcels (which sold at prices varying from 46s to 56s per quarter), which formed the bulk of the supply on offer to-day. The weather being somewhat changeable, and the attendance of buyers good, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was very steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyopd, Monday's quotations, and a fair clearance was effected. The show of Foreign Wheat was, owing to many of the large importers having withdrawn their samples for the present, small. Fine dry qualities were in good request at very full prices, but all other kinds were much neglected. The show of Barley was trifling. The best grinding parcels were held at quite as much money. In all other kinds comparatively little was doing. Although the supply of Malt was limited, the malt trade was in a very sluggish state, at Monday's currencies. The best English feed Oats moved off steadily at late rates, but the foreign parcels on offer commanded very little atten tion. Beans, Peas, and Flour, as last advised. Wheat.

AN i fu N l D l l o A ss NA is N. n let ters r eceived on Monday another rocks called the Black Ledge, h a ppened on the announced to to have SHIPWRECK OF A m E R i c d A r dreadful d three miles westward of the Seal Islands, and within 200 y a rds of the spot wrecked a short time since. The vessel that met with the misfortune was the William Abrams, a fine ship, 600 to ns burden, from Boston to Calcutta. It occurred on the morn ing of the 3d of last month, at about two o'clock, and within an hour after she had struck the ship heeled over on her broadside and quickly went to pieces, the crew saving them selves by floating ashore on the spars and portions of her rigging. There cannot be a doubt that her loss arose from the same circumstance as that of the Columbia, viz., the ' rapidity of the currents off the Seal Islands. It was the belief of the master of the William Abrams that when she struck she was forty miles from the islands ; she had not, however, taken observation for four days previous, in conse q uenured ce of the continuance of foggy weat h er. The ship was ins for 12,. Sir George Hayter, principal painter of history in or• dinary to her Majesty, is at present at Interlacken, en route to Italy, where he has been recommended to pass some time, in the hope of re-establishing his health. Sir George, it will be recollected, suffered severely from a railway accident last year. REPRESENTATION OF STOCKPORT.— A. requisition to Mr. Cobden is now in course of preparation in Stockport, re questing him to continue as one of the Members for the bo rough, in the event of an election. The idea seems to have been started in consequence of the requisition to Mr. Cobden, to the same effect, emanating from Manchester. A dreadful accident occurred yesterday evening, at half-past six o'clock, at the terminus of the South Western Railway. A plate-layer, James Begally, of Woking, ran down the lino to be in the time to go by the half-pa six . over the tender knocked him do wn , and the wheels passing o'clock train to WDking, when the Mercury engine bag. his body, completely cut him in two. We understand that the gentleman th e baptism of the royal water of the River infant, Princess Helena, e honour to present the Queen wi th Jordan, which wag made use of for Beldam, h who had the Esq., the bar rister, who has lately returnedisJoseph from an extended travel through the East. MONEY and COMMERCI AL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 3,600 bales, including 2,000 American at 3`f,d. to 5•;40. The market was quiet; and, compared with Friday's rates, American Cottons at and under 4Ad. were easier to buy. Other kinds are unchanged. It appears by letters received by the last West India mail from the Anglo-Mexican Mines (one of the many companies started in 1824 and 1825, the bulk of which has long gone to the " tomb of all the Capulets"), that this concern is in steady, if not very prolific, activity. From a report of the pro ceedings of the Uompany now before us, we find that in the year ending the 30th of June last the directors here had paid off 8,3461. of the additional capital borrowed to keep up the mines in the Company's lands in Mexico, and that there is a balance in the bankers' hands of 2,1701. 3s. The agent of the company, Mr. Brough, has recently made a good remittance on general account. It is satisfactory to find, after the " thousand and one" failures in mining enterprise, the money to conduct which was raised in England, that one of them at least, is in a healthy state. The agent named, is his dispatch of the Asuncion mine, remarks a considerable improvement in it, consequent on the introduction of Bus cones (who take a certain share of ores raised in lieu of wages), the result of which had been, that for a period of four weeks there had been a profit of 8,003 dollars. Some of the other mines of the company are well spoken of in the pre sent advices. A general meeting of the Shipowners' Society was held • ' this morning at the Hall of Conmierce, to receive a report from the general committee relative to its transactions for the past year. The report read was a voluminous document. The concluding paragraph of this document is rather interest ing. It states that— " It is consolatory to have observed that in reply to a question from the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord John Russell, in a recent discussion on the sugar duties, de dared that ` he did not p ro p ose i n any respect to a l ter the existing navigation laws.' Still, in the signs of the times, your Committee perceive abundant reason for shipowners to be prepared to defend their position—that justice which by Sir Robert Peel was promised to the agriculturists on the repeal of the corn-laws, and by Lord John Russell to the colonists on the alteration of the sugar duties—namely, that freedom of production shall at least go 'hand in hand with freedom of competition. In the maintenance of this demand they feel that they may with confidence appeal to shipowners throughout the country, whatever differences of opinion they may entertain on the controverted questions of free trade and protection. The struggle on these questions has unfortunately produced many and most injurious schisms. But your Committee can perceive no reason why the shipping interest should not now re-unite on the common ground of defence of a general interest on principles common to all. 'They ask, therefore, the renewal of co operation on the part of those who, during recent contests, have dissented from the course they have considered it their duty to pursue, inviting theta to join the society in the endeavour to free maritime commerce from injurious and vexation restraints--to relieve it from wine' cessary and burdensome charges—and thus to enable it the better to sustain the competition to which it is already exposed . ; while by confiding to the Legislature the decision of prince.. plea of policy, but inflexibly maintaining that of protection front the State, proportioned to disqualification imposed bg the State, they will violate no equity, advance no selfis.e claim, and leave in unrestrained exercise the differing opt' nions of those who are engaged in one common and most let' portant branch of British national commerce." There are at present exhibiting some very splendid speci mens of Gobelin tapestry, manufactured, as the announce ment of the selling brokers states, expressly fee the late Duke of Orleans, and considered to be a magnificent sample of this famed branch of foreign industry. The sale to-morrow, by Wilkinson and Jewesbury, at the Hall of Commerce, will also include many other articles of French manufacture, which the enterprising importers are auxteLl to have introduced to general consumption. The Funds are fluctuating, and scarcely realise the pre' vious quotations, Consols being 95 1 ‘ 2 3 4 for present transf,ert and 95 3 / 4 for Account. Exchequer-bills are quoted 4s. to premium.
