John' s t hi s spring for the sea l fi s h ery.— E st i mate d amount capital invested, 130,0001." Extract of a letter from St. John's New Brunswick " There is nut at this moment a quintal of shore fish to be Purchased in the market, and we believe there is very little to !some in from the out-ports. A number of vessels are waiting for their cargoes. Accounts from the seal fishery are still unfa vourable." The Prince Edward Island papers have the st.bjoined : "The business of our Co!onial Legislature is now drawing to a close. The prorogation will probably take place on Thursday. We extract the following from the Cape of Good Hope Paper s " PRICES I N C APE T OWN : —The prices of all country pro duce are very high a t p resen t ; w h e at, which often sell s at from 90 to 100, is now at 180 rds. a load of ten muids. Butchers' meat is unusually high. Beef, 6d. per lb. ; mut ton, 3d. ; this is ascribed in some degree to the distribution of the compensation money. Many farmers are enabled to hold back part of their crops. In town also labour is more in de- Cand, and better paid, consequently more food is consumed. The prices at Graham Town arc not so high as at Cape Town. Wheat, 150 to 160 rds. per load. From the frop tier, we continue to receive the most satisfactory assurances bf peace and tranquillity." The Sydney Papers call the attention of the British Go vernment to the settlement of Port Macquarie, as it is filled with people who are setting all honesty and common dec enc y at defiance.. The establishment for the female convicts is turned into a brothel, and all discipline over the male convicts Lad been abandoned. FUNDS. The funds are not quite so good as they left off yesterday, as the accounts from Windsor of the state of his Majesty's health is of an unfavourable nature.

The unfavourable reports during the morning of the state of his Majesty's health have prevented all speculations in the Funds, and has also damped commercial transactions. The Public are anxiously waiting the publication of the Bulletin from Windsor. Consols have been during the morning at 91 to 91i for the Account, with very little doing.

She brings accounts that a French Admiral had arrived there in a frigate, accompanied by a brig ' ° f war, and had proceeded to Mexico to demand satisfaction of the Mexican Government on account of certain insults that bad been offered to the French flag.

The Learned Gentleman having recovered a little was conveyed to his residence in his carriage. VICE-CHANC ERY.- (THIS DAY.) MADAME VESTRIS V. HOOPER. Mr. KNIGHT said he was instructed to apply to the Court in this case, in which Madame Vestris was the plaintiff. Mr. JACOB—Your side have filed affidavits to-day which we Lave not had an opportunity of seeing. Mr. KNIGHT—I have no desire to press on the motion, pro vided your client, the defendant in equity, will not arrest the plaintiff to-day, which, we understand, he intends doing. It is a circumstance of great impoi tance to her to prevent that. If your client will withhold the proceedings to arrest to day, will not go on with the motion. Mr. JACOB—I don't know whether I can do so. Mr. KNIGHT-0 yes, you can ; your client is going before 41 judge to-day, and he may, without any reference to the equity of the case, think that the defendant bad the right to arrest. If my friends without prejudice would say they would not arrest Madame Vestris for a day or two, I would not go on. Mr. JACOB—As my client is not here, I don't like to adopt That course in his absence. 1 1 Mr ' KNIGHT—The fiat having been annulled aga inst Ma. ame Vestris, she was exposed to arrest, though it could not ze don e w i thout a Judge's order. After some further discussion it was agreed that the motion ala.uld Stand still to.mrrrow, and the Vice-Chancellor ordered that the defendant should not be arrested till after that day. ..eneral Evans arrived in Paris on Sunday even- He was accompanied by two officers, who immediately s et off for L on d on . °R Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, as David 111 s Led, f arm - servant at El p hi ngstone M a i ns , was s t e ppi ng into ued, it burst out in flames, and with some difficulty he and 1 ;. wife and three childr'en were removed from the house in s f a ietY, but without beinr , able to carry with them an article of surniture, or any part of their wearing apparel.

It cannot ''".lectured how the fire originated.—Edinburgh Courant. THE KING'S HEALTH. The bulletin issued yesterday morning by Dr. Chambers and Dr. Davis, the physicians then in attendance, announced that his Majesty had " had a good night, and continued in all respects the same as on the preceding day." We wish most sincerely that in thus echoing the terms of the official report our task were complete. Unfortunately it is not so. It is our painful duty to add that the accounts received from \Windsor during the day, and up to a late hour last night, were of a less satisfactory nature than khe bulletin had pre pared us to expect, although this document hug, in sonic degree, damped the hones which the antecedent statements had permitted us to cherish. We should mislead tile pub lic if we concealed the fact, that the gloomy apprehensions which had been in some degree allayed, were revived last night in more than their former strength.—Morithig Post. WINDSOR-TUESDAY. Dr. Chambers returned last night to the Castle ; and after the issuing of the bulletin to-day, again left for London. Sir Matthew Tierney has been detained in town, and prevented from resuming his attendance on his Majesty, by an attack of the gout. The Earl of Munster has gone to Brighton. The Marquis of Conyngliani, Lord-Chamberlain to the King, and the lion. Mr. Ashley, Vice-Chamberlain, to the Queen, are at the Castle. Mr. Elvey was yesterday appointed organist to his Ma jesty. The Queen is not quite so well again. No improvement has taken place, either this afternoon or this evening, in the state of the King's health. His Majesty remains much the same. COURT CIRCULAR.

SlR—The present precarious state of his Majesty's health, naturally leads us to contemplate the event of his decease, and, consequently, a national mourning. Now, while every true Englishman would wish to mlnifest those marks of sorrow consistent with so painful an occurrence, yet I am confident I speak the sentiments of tens of thou sands of such, when say a public mourning, at the pre sent time, would be attended with the most disastrous con sequences to our country.• The obvious de:icacy of the subject is admitted by the writer to its full extent ; yet the important relation it bears to the interest of a large portion of our countrymen, must, it is presumed, fully justify this public notice. My object then, Sir, is to beg permission, through the medium of your widely-extended and•patriotic Journal, to call on those influential gentlemen who have on a former occasion taken an active part in this matter, to wait on the Lord Chamberlain, and endeavour to obtain a statement horn his Lordship to the effect of the public not being re quired to put on mourning in the event of the King's de cease, owing to the distressed state of the manufacturing interests. _ _ -- - The fact of so large a number of our operatives being out of employ, and without any prospect of again obtain ing work. this season, except by an improved • state of our home trade—American trade, for the present, being quite unlooked for—a more serious calamity can hardly be con ceived of, than this solitary hope being cut off. The unfavourable state of the weather has protracted the sale of summer goods to an unusually late period ; and now that it has commenced, with heavy stocks on hand, and the markets falling, a check such as a public mourning would produce, must be attended with ruinous results to thousands engaged in the Fancy Trade, both manufacturers and others. I sincerely live, Sir, this attempt to bring the matter before those w:io have power to avert the threatened dan ger, by their prompt endeavours, will not be in vain. I am, Sir, your's truly obliged, AN OBSERVER. In the garden attached . ' to the bank of Messrs. Leatham and Co., in this town," is now standing an ancient pear-tree of venerable appearance, which tradition states was placed in the ground by the hands of Charles the First. Ac cording to C.damy, his 111.ijesty, in one of his progresses through Doncaster, dined v ith Lady Carlingford, who then resided in the dissolved Carm e lit e F r i ary, a house whose site' occupied a very considerable portion of the west side of Iligh street, and on part of which the bashing-houso and premises are now situated. Upon that occasion the King is said to have left this memorial of his visit. Though much decayed and nearly double with the weight of years, this patriarch of the garden still continues to furnish an annual display of rich blossom, succeed: by a plentiful supply of small brown fruit.—Doncaster Gazette, THE UNITED STATES.

EXPLOSION AT HULL. INQUEST.—Amongst other evidence given at the last meeting of the adjourned Inquest was the following. It may be remembered that the evidence given was generally little more than a repetition of that which has already ap peared in The Sun. Dr. Charles Wallack deposed, that his attention has been (Irawn to the bursting of the boiler of the Union, and he has considered what appears to him the causes of such explosion. Certainly thinks that steam has been the cause, and his reason for so thinking is, that he can not, on chemical grounds, believe hydrogen or any other gas could be formed in the boiler to cause such re sult. Hydrogen gas could not have been generated unless a fresh metallic surface were continually pre sented to the water as a de-oxygenizing agent. Has seen a fragm en t o f th e b o il er w hi c h had a been thrown on the pier, which was encrusted with black oxide of some standing. Should say that atmospheric air could not have been admitted into the boiler, for the pres sure within would be greater than that without. Con siders that the expansive power of steam generated under ordinary circumstances could not have caused an ex plosion of such violence ; it must have been very much condensed indeed. Supposing the flues red-hot, and water suddenly dashed over it, that would have produced a suffi cient volume of steam to cause the explosion, if the safety valve had been closed, or.not sufficiently large. The ordi nary safety-valve would not be sufficient to allow the escape of steam generated under those circumstances. The noise heard before the explosion took place may be accounted for by the escape of steam by the water-pipe under the surface of the water. Has seen the flues ; they appeared equally oxydised with the boiler. Should think that the air found in the boiler would be expelled by the steam admitted ; even had it not, there would not be sufficient oxygen to. cause the explosion. The opening of the safety-valve might cause such an ebullition of water as would make it rise to the gage -tap. Had the explosion be©n occasioned by gas, there must have been a flash of fire accompanying it. Mr. John Wakefield deposed that he is an engineer, and has been acquainted with the steam-engine for fifty years. Coosiders that in all low-pressure engines, froth the over accumulation of steam, owing to safety valves being too small, explosion will take place ; is of opinion this was the cause in this instance, If the area of the steam-valve of the Union were only sixteen inches, it would be too small ; It should be about sixty. Never knew an explosion from a red-Lot boiler, although he ha known them red-hot. William Allen, foreman to Mr> Vernon, deposed that he was with that gentleman on Wednesday, examining the flues of the Union. They did not appear to have been red-hot. Mr,. A. Barrett said there were some other points with reference to his evidence which he should like to reconsider and give at a future perioi. The inquest was then adjourned until Thursday at three o'clock. On Friday an inquest was held on the body of Robert Shay, a deformed young man, aged 21. Mrs. Gray, the disreputable keeper of the house, and three girls, named Jane Smith, Maria Jackson, and Ann Mason, were present in custody during the former part of the proceedings, and a man and two other women were added to the number before the inquest closed. Mr. Lowther deposed I am a surgeon residing in Blackfriar-gate. About half-past three on Thursday after noon I was called to see the deceased, at a boost! in Queen's -alley, kept by a woman named Gray. I found him lying on his side on the floor of a room on the ground floor, bleeding profusely from the back part of the head. I turned him over immediately, and found a large cut on the back of the head ; the skull was not fractured ; he was unable to speak ; I ordered him to be put to bed, dressed the wound, and left the house. I saw him again just before he expired, three hours afterwards ; he was perfectly insensible. I gave him nothing to take ; I con sidered him to be intoxicated by his appearance. 1 have examined the body, and can discover no outward appear ance sufficient to explain the cau se o f death. Ann Long, the fat keeper of the adjoining brothel, de posed—l am the wife of William Long, net-maker ; I know a woman named Gray, who lives next door to me in Queen's -alley ; I was at home on Thursday from two to foUr o'clock ; I did not hear any noise in her house ; I have heard noises in that house, but I did not, on Thurs day, hear any noise like any person falling down stairs, or screaming, or falling out. Coroner—l would advise you to quit the house imme diately, and follow a different lino of life. You hear what this comes to ; if this should go to York, as a case of manslaughter, it may end in transportation, or death. Now take my advice, and leave the ncighboureood (which she, curtseying, promised to do). The inquest was then adjourned. At twelve o'clock the Jury re-assembled, when the pri soners were allowed to remain in another room. Mr. Lowther deposed—l have made a post 7110rieln exa mination of the body of Robert Shay, and am able to state the cause of death. It arose from cxtravasation of blood on the brain ; there was a wound on the scalp, and a slight fracture of the skull, without depression ; these, together with the shock of a blow or fall, would occasion death. The wound appears to me to have been produced by a fall. It is possible a fall upon a substance of wood would occa sion death in this manner. Mr. Sharpe, who had attended the post mortent exami nation on behalf of deceased's relatives, said his opinion coincided with Mr. Lowther's. After hearing further evidence, which agreed with the preceding, the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."—Abridged from the Hull Obse,ver. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD. (From the Moroing Post,) We have received the follo.ving letter, which we insert although at first we doubted, whether it were genuine. A Nobleman might have been expected to reprove in more courteous terms an inaccuracy which he has no reason to believe intentional. Yet - we have not received this con tradiction without satisfaction, for it inspires the hope that the Noble Marquis is resolved that for all time to come there shall be no inherent probability in such statements as that which has excited his displeasure : " Sir—l read in your paper this day an article headed Shameful Proceedings.' The whole statement, as regards me, is false ; I therefore beg you will retract every charge you have made against me, and refrain for the future from imput ing to me the offences of others merely on the authority of some insolent informer. _ " I remain your obedient servant, " London, June 13, 1837. WATERFORD. " P. S. I requ'st you will insert this contradiction of the article to which I have referred." Since our last considerable quantities of herrings have made their appearance on our coast, and the fishing of them with the hook has been pretty successful. On the coast of Latheron the catch in this way has been considerable. We understand that a boat or. the West coast brought in from seven to nine crans about a week ago. The fishermen conti nue to be very sanguine as to this season proving an abundant fishing, appearances continuirg favourable, and white fish being plentiful. Oa Tues.l2y, the 16th instant, a boat went out from Thurso with a few nets, and brought in better than half a cra n , w hi c h were di spa t c h e d to Leith on the 17th, per steamer. On the 23d, five or six boats went out, and returned with from four to ten crans per boat, all of which were sent by the same conveyance—thus making from this ty to forty barrels in all. The fish are rather superior in quality, round, and well formed,—Jam o' Groat Journal. • - IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Juxv, 13. The LORD CIIANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at Five o'Clock. On the motion of Lord SHAFTESBURY, the Private Bills on the table were advanced a stage. The Duke of RICHMOND presented three petitions from Aberdeen in - favour of tl►e prine'ple of the Prisons' (Scotland) Bill, but praying for soma alteration In its details. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition in fa vour of a Lord's Day Bill. Lord E I,LEN BOROUG II moved for returns relative to the local taxation in boroughs in Ireland. He sl'ould have moved for them long since, but he hoped he would be able to have them before the third of July.—Ordered. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved that a message should he sent to the Commons fur the report of the Committee last Session, on the Bridlington Harbour Bill. THE CEMETERIES. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions against the Necropolis Cemetery Bill. He would observe that the establishment of those Cemeteries would_prove- injurious to the Clergy of the metropolis. No conapeils:ltion bad been provided for them, in lieu of the losses they had and would sustain ; this loss would be felt especially in new parishes, where the fees were the principal sources on which the clergy had to depend.—(Hear.) He hoped, therefore, that the subject would be attended to by their Lordships in Committee, for he could state as one instance a parish in his gift %iliac the income of the clergyman entirely de pended on the fees. The clergy of the present day were too just and too liberal to press any claim to which they had not a right, and he trusted therefore their rights would be vindicated. If not, their Lordships or the parishes would have to provide for them. The petitioners prayed that they might be heard at the bar of the House by counsel against the Bill. Lord DUNCANNON presented a petition from the Medical Practitioners of Derby, against the Poor-law Bill. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE in moving that this Bill be committed, said that the purpose of it was to encourage public works in Ireland ; the progress of such works hi therto had been in the highest degree beneficial to Ireland ; the board under which they were conducted had been in existence for four or five years, .and a great many works had been brought to a successful termination, and others were in progress. It was that these should be continued under this system the present Bill had been introduced. It was provided that 50,000/. should be advanced out of the Consolidated Fund by the Lord Lieutenant, where an equal advance was made froth private sources. Distress had often been great in particular parts of Ireland, which might have almost passed over before the meeting of the Grand Jury ; and therefore it was that the Bill pro vided in certain cases for immediate assistance being given. He expected that it would prove to be a provision which would work well, and he did not expect that it would meet with any opposition. He boldly recommended the Bill as an experiment, which it was the duty n of both the Government and the Parliament to make, for the purpose of relieving great and urgent distress. He looked to this Bill as a sort of safety valve to any more general measure for more extended relief, and it was on that ground that be so strongly recommended it for their Lordships' adoption. He also looked at the protection and encouragement of emigration which the Government intended to provide for as one great source for ameliorating the evil ; yet at the same time he knew that it was one of the matters upon which the Government must be particularly cautious. He would not enter into the necessities which existed in the various colonies for emigration. The Noble Secretary for the Colonies had moved for and laid papers on the table which would make the whole matter perfectly clear tlAt great relief might be afforded by emigration, both to Ireland and the Colonies. He moved that the Bill be then committed. Lord FITZGERALD did not rise to oppose the mo- tion ; but before going into the Committee he wished to state shortly some objections which be had to some of the clauses: - He did not like to place such power as wes done by the Bill in the hands of the magistrates and cess payers of any particular county. He would prefer confiding to the Government the selec tion of the works to be undertaken to allowing the interven- tion of an irresponsible body, without a qualification being deemed necessary. If the measure were rightly adminis tered, it would b- attended withgood effects.ln respect to the other measure which would shortly be before their Lordships, there were portions of it which vcottld be mischievous, as not giving power to adopt means which would raise the character of the Irish people. The report of Mr. Nicholls was founded on speculative opinions, and was not justified by the eAhlence reported by the Commissioners of Enquiry ; and he felt the more convinced therefore of the necessity of auxiliary measures. Without emigration, not partial but nitional, the only great auxiliary to the Poor-law Bill, the workhouse system would he only a temporary relief. The report of the Irish Poor-law Commissioners went the length of stating that emigration alone would relieve the pressure on the Irish peasantry, and in this opinion be agreed, and was assured, that not only the peasantry but the Colonies would be benefited by it. The Earl of FINGAL said that he would shortly state the-reasons' why he had signed the Report of the Com missioners. It ba'l been urged that the Report was founded on opinions rather than facts ; but seven volumes of facts had been issued by the Commissioners. When he joined the Commission he was of opinion, that no plan would be efficient which" would not comprehend the able-bodied poor; but upon examination he found reasons to sign the report, which were founded on the facts which came before him. Ile concurred in the principle of the Bill which was now before the House. The Earl of WICKLOW said that the clause referred to by his Noble Friend (Lord Fitzgerald) had struck him as objectionable ; and he did not think that sufficient grounds existed to make such a change in the existing laws as was proposed, as it would establish a dangerous prece dent, and the Grand Juries would have assembled before the Bill would come into operation in Ireland. After a few words from Viscount Duncannon, the Marquis of Westmeath, the Earl of Glengall, and Lord Brougham, the House resolved itself into a Committee upon the Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE proposed a few verbal amendments, which were carried. The House then resumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Friday. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY begged the Noble and Learned Lord opposite (Lad Brougham) to postpone his motion for the second reading of the Education Bill, which was fixed for Thursday. - Lord BROUGHAM readily consented to postpone it till the following Tuesday, as the state of the business in the other House rendered it of little consequence whether the Bill were sent down to them in two weeks or six. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that on Friday he should propose to the House to take into consi deration the amendments of the House of Commons on the English Municipal Amendment Act. Their Lordships then adjourned to Thursday. HOUSE•OF COMMONS, JUNI? 13. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. On the motion of Mr. CH ALMERS the House went into the further consideration of the Report on the 'Mon trose harbour Bill. On the motion of Mr. BROTHER.TON the farther consideration of the Report on the Pollock and Govcn Railway Bill was proceeded with. Lord A. LENNOLpresented a petition from Daw•la's in favour of the Dowlais Market Bill. On the motion of Mr. ROEBUCK the Bill for Light ing the City of Bath with gas was read a third time and passed. Mr. HANDLEY presented a petition from a parish in Lancashire, in favour of the Ministerial plan for the aboli tion of Church-rates. Mr. CH ALNIERS presented a petition from Arbroath praying the House to adopt suma plsn for the prevention travelling on railways . on Sunday in Scotland. Mr. WILKS presented two petitions from places it Leicester in favour of the Ministerial plan for the aholi. tion of Church-rates. Mr. W. PARKER presented a petition from Barry Tacie, in the county of Doyen, against the appropriation of Church property to other than ecclesiastical purposes. Mr. T. DU NCOMBE presented a petition from Kew in favour of the Ministerial plan for the abolition of Church-rates. DOVER HARBOUR. Mr. R. STEUART presented a petition from the inha bitants of Dover, of which he had given notice, and which was upon the VotcP, relaling-to the Harbour. The lion. Member then read the petition at length. The petitioners regretted that, in a Bill that had lately passed that house, the recommendations of a Committee appointed io inquire into the Dover Harbour, relative to the management of the affairs of the Board, were not strictly carried into effect. The petitioner!, therefore, prayed the House to adopt and carry into full effect the report of the Select Committee, by altering the constitution of the Board of Management, as to the House should seem proper. The Ilon. Member cordially cmcurred in the prayer of the petition, and the recommendations the petitioners had made as to the ma nagement of the harbour. Mr. VECTOR supported the prayer of the petition. He had hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman, the President of the Board of Trade, would have been present in his place, so as to have given Lim an opportunity of asking a question as to whether it was the-intention of the Government to originate or support •a Bill relative to_the managemeut,of that harbour. The Hon. Member also presented a similar petit ion. Sir R. INGLIS protested against Hon. Members read ily"' their petitions at length, as .the Hon. Member opposite had done. .He observed that the. Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny (Mr. Finn) had upwards of sixty petitions by his side, and -if he were to read every one of those petitions at length, there would not be much time left for other Hon. Members to present their petitions.—( Hear.) Sir C. KNIGHTLEY presented a petition from a place in Northamptonshire, praying the House net to ap propriate the funds of the Church of Ireland to any other than Protestant purposes. TAXED C ARTS. Mr. HANDLEY seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his place, begged to ask him whether it was Ids intention to remove the duty that at present existed on Taxed Carts ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his Hon. Friend had . put a question to him upon a subject which, although it did not excite much interest within the walls of that House, had created a great sensation out of doors, which he was not surprised at, inasmuch as it bore very heavily on the agriculturist. The case was simply this—both his Noble Friend who had preceded him in office and himself, had, at various times, altered un der certain limits, the taxation on carts.—(bear.) Ho believed that'many farmers were iii the habit of using cloaks for cushions, to avoid their coming within the mean ing of the Act. The alteration that had been made was with respect to the size of the letters, which were formerly one inch in length, and were by the late Act required to be two inches. At the time the proposition was made he had heard of no objection, although he had since understood that it bad created very general dissatisfaction in the manufacturing districts. In the course of the present session it was his intention to propose that the law should be left as he had found it.---( Hear, hear.) Mr. W. ROCHE presented a petition from Limerick complaining of the unequal taxation to which the inha bitants of that city were subjected as compared with the county. The petitioners also complained that the rate payers were not sufficiently represented in the Grand Jure. The Hon. Member presented another petition against the monopoly on the roads between Limerick and Dublin. POST-OFFICE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that on Friday next he should move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better administration of the affairs o 7 his Majesty's Post-office. PRESENTATION OF PETITIONS. Mr. FINN presented twelve petitions from Kilkenny, and two from Sligo, praying for the abolition of tithes. The HON. GENTLEMAN had also thirteen petitions from the county of Kilkenny, and two from the county of Sligo, praying the house to give every support to his Majesty's Mi nisters, as the present Government of Ireland had proved the greatest blessing to that country which they had had for centuries. The prayer of one of the petitions was very short, and he would read it to the House. He proceeded to do so, when he was interrupted by Mr. A. TREVOR, who hoped that the rule laid down by the House would be strictly adhered to by both sides. Mr. FINN said the prayer of the petition was very short, and as he was not allowed to state in his own words the sentiments of his constituents, he would, which he understood was quite consistent with the rule, read the prayer of the petition. On proceeding he was again in terrupted by Mr. A. TREVOR, who appealed to the Chair to know whether the Hon. Gentleman was in order or not ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the rule had been agreed to, at least much discussion had been had upon it, in the absence of the Ho nourable and Learned Member for Kilkenny. He trusted that it would be adhered to, as it tended much to save the time of the House, at the same time always re serving to themselves the right of hat'ing a petition affect ing their constituents printed, with a view to having a specific discussion upon it. Mr. ROEBUCK wished the rule to be tried as strictly as possible in order to see in what way it would work. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was the greatest sinner upon the present occasion, having raised a debate on the pre sentation of the petition, which was distinctly against the rule. Mr. G. F. YOUNG thought that much time bad been already wasted in useless discussion. He had no doubt that the Hon. Member for Kilkenny, by the exercise of his discretion, would long ago have finished all he had to say. Mr. FINN did not think that much time had been saved. He proceeded again to read the petition, when he was called to order by Sir G. CLERK, who trusted that as the rule,had been laid down, the Speaker would see that it was adhered to by all parties. The SPEAKER stated what the rule of the-House was. The Hon. Member was to state the substance of the petition and to read its prayer. Mr. Fl NN resumed. and was azain called to order by Sir GEORGE CLERK, who said that the lion. Mem ber was reading the petition. As lie saw a member of the Government opposite, he called_ upon the Right Hon. Gen tleman to say whether he would support the Chair, who had clearly laid down the rule of the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he was always ready to support not only the rules of that House, but the authority of the Chair ; but as he collected from the Chair that the Hen. Member was in order, he had remained silent. The SPEAKER said it must be evident to the Hon. Member what coarse he should pursue. The Hon. Mem ber was at liberty to state the effect of his petition, but not to read it at lengt)s. If such a course was allowed, the whole time of the House would be occupied in presenting petitions alone. Mr. FINN then said the object of the petition was, that the House would give its support to that Ministry that bad conferred so much good upon Ireland. The subject then dropped, and the petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. H. GRATTAN presented similar petitions in fa vour of Ministers from places in 'Down, Londonderry, Glengall, and Meath. Admiral ADAM presented a petition from Kinross against Sabbath travelling. Mr. BL ACKSTONE presented a petition from War rington to the same effect. Mr. G. F. YOUNG presented a petition froin a master mariner, praying for compensation to East India officers. On the motion - of 'Mr. FORBES, the Report on the Campsie Canal was further considered. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD GAS BILL. Mr. BROTHERTON brought in a Bill for lighting the towns eof Manchester and Salford with Gas, which was read a first time. NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. G. F. YOUNG wished to ask the Chancellor of the.Exehequer when the House might expect to receive any communication from his Majesty's Government in re ference to the erection of the new Houses of Parliament ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that no communication could be made until the House came to the Miscellaneous Estimates, when a vote would be passed, and the subject would be discussed. UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM. Mr. A. TREVOR gave notice that he should move there be laid on the table of the. House a copy of the char ter recently granted to the University of - Durham.
