LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1848. It is, we believe , univ e r sal ly admitted that the w hole law of deb tor and creditor, more especi a ll y that portion thereof relating to bankruptcy and in solvency, req uires a full and ample revision. I t is i m possible to overrate the vast importance of this su bject in a co mmercial country, and perhaps there is no other question on which so great a variety of conflicting opinions may be found. Some p art i es c ontend, that too much p ower is still allowed to a hard and oppressive creditor, who, if he be actuated by vindictive motives, may prevent the carrying out of arrangements alike beneficial to the honest but un fortunate debtor and to the general body of creditors, and assert, that such a power is too frequently put in operation f or the mere purpose of extorting un d ue advantages, far beyond those which would fall to his lot in common with ot hers ; and also that a direct inducement is held out to parties to take legal proceedings, in order, if possible, to be enabled toseize the entire available property for their own exclusive benefit, which ought in justice to be equitably ap portioned among all. On the other side, many are to be found who sigh for the good old times when any man who chose to make affidavit that a debt was due to him, might seiz3 and incarcerate the person of the debtor, and detain him in custody for an indefinite period, lingering in a living tomb. Those persons contend that the stringency and severity of the for mer system was most salutary, and that the present state of the law is far more defective and leads to greater abuses, from its excessive leniency ' than could have been perpetrated under the moat energetic administration of that formerly in force. There is a third class, who, conceiving that there are perhaps errors on both sides, would gladly introduce an entirely new measure, consolidating an d di gest i ng the, existing laws into one statute, in which ever - thing valuable would be retained, and ne w enactments ' passed which would prevent the abuses which have given rise to so many well-founded complaints. At the head of this latter class is that distinguished legal reformer, Lord BROUGHAM, who has probably done more to cleanse the Augean stable of the law, and to introduce such a lt er ations as experience had proved to be desirable,:th an any other living states man. Some few weeks s ince we pointed out the great ameliorations for which we are indebted to his unceasing exertions , b y which more than sixty defects in our system of juris prudence have been removed out of somewhat more than seventy, of which he complained in his great speech on the improvement of the law delivered in the House of Commons twenty years since. This great man has not relaxed in his labours. He has recently introduced a Bill to consolidate and digest into one statute all the laws of England, as far as ' relates to indictable offences and the punishment thereof, in which the several crimes are defined. He has promised to follow it with another measure enacting a mode of criminal procedure ; and, in addition, he has again directed his attention to the bankrupt law, in which he has already effected many valuable improvements, and on his motion a Bill was read a second time on Friday last, to consolidate the various laws relating to bankruptcy, which has been referred to a Select Committee, by whom its various details will be investigated, and rendered as efficient as prac ticable. Although an Act for a similar purpose had been I passed in 1825, which systematised and consolidated the great majority of the enactments then in force, no less than twenty•one statutes have since been intro duced on the subject. As a natural consequence of so important a branch of the law being so scattered, much obscurity has arisen, which has given rise to many well-founded complaints on the part of the mercantile interest, the parties chiefly affected. These complaints will in a great degree be removed by the new measures, which will elucidate the law and render it perfectly clear, and easy of comprehen sion. Although that is the principal object of the present Bill, we trust that many valuable alterations may at the same time be effected. There can be no sufficient reason why the bankrupt and in solvent laws should be henceforth continued separate and distinct. They are parts of the same system. In both instances the object should be to protect the honest but unfortunate debtors, and to administer deserved punishment to the fraudulent and dishonest one ; and at the same time to render the assets of every person available to the utmost extent for the benefit of all his creditors, with out preference and without exception. This being the purpose of the codes, why should they not be amalgamated together and administered by a single tribunal ? Why should there be any difference in the nature of the remedies against a debtor, dependent on the point of whether he is a trader within the mean ing of the bankrupt-laws or otherwise ? In neither case should the party be subjected to punishment, in the first instance, until he has been proved to have acted improperly. If he is either unable or unwilling to pay his debts, and he fails to make a proposition satisfactory to the majority of his creditors in number and value, he should lay his en tire affairs before the Court for its adjudication; but if he is enabled to offer a satisfactory arrangement, to which the great body of those interested in the settlement of his affairs are willing to accede, it is a monstrous thing that a small and insignificant minority should for their own selfish purposes be enabled to defeat that which would be really beneficial to all parties. This should be effectually remedied, and also the opportunity should be taken away of having a preference given to any. The moment a debtor's property is disposed of by sheriff's sale (the most wasteful mode of realising its value), it is manifest that the party is unable to meet his engagements at the present moment, or, most probably, at any future period. The proceeds of such sale should, therefore, in every instance, be re tained for the purpose of general distribution, and should not be given exclusively to the party by whom the law was put in motion. We shall return to this most important subject on a future occasion. We are not surprised that the motion made by the Honourable Member for the Tower Hamlets last night, for a Select Committee of Inquiry into the conduct of Lieutenant- Colonel CHARLES OYANS, while Political Resident at the Court of Sattara, and into the acts of the Government to which he was immediately subordinate, and the other branches of the Indian Administration, was op posed and rejected by the parties whose names are contained in the list of the division. There is at all times an invincible reluctance• on the part of those engaged in the management of public affairs to permit any scrutiny into the manner in which they exercise their delegated powers and authority. Last night Mr. TuomrsoN had to contend with a for midable combination, consisting of the members of the Government, one of whom (in the Cabinet) gave his sanction, when at the head of the Board of Con trol some years ago, to the dethronement of the late Raja of SATTARA, and is therefore im plicated in that transaction, the representa tives of the East India Company (Members of the House), and others, the personal friends of the party accused, or belonging to that class who have ever evinced the strongest repugnance to all in quiry into the abuse of constituted authority. The charges referred to in the motion of Mr. THoasrsoN are specific in their nature, explicit in their reference to dates, persons, and places, and minute also in their references to official documents long since made public, and open to general examination. On look ing at the debate, we nevertheless find that the first opponent Mr. THOMPSON had to contend with abstained altogether from noticing those charges, and preferred to occupy the attention of the House by statements intended to cast discredit on the motives of the originator of the motion. This Gentleman was followed by the Honourable Ba ronet the Member for Honiton, a director and a lawyer, who, though he spoke at great length, reserved all notice of the motion itself for the end of his address, and then abstained from grappling with the facts and documents brought forward by the mover. The encomiums pronounced on the cha racter of the Company's servant were numerous, profuse, and unqualified ; but we think it would have been the wiser course, as it certainly would have been the more courageous one, to have been frugal in the bestowal of compliments, and to have granted the inquiry asked for into the charges brought against that officer. We repeat it, it would have shown more confidence in the soundness of their cause, if these Honourable Members had granted—nay demanded a rigorous investigation into the alleged official delinquencies, and have vindicated the honour of Colonel OVANS, by putting on record evidence in disproof of charges so grave and so definite. No one can deny that the Member who brought forward the motion has mastered the details and explored the intricacies of the difficult and complicated questions connected with the Sattara case, and that he has, from the commencement, courted an inquiry, which, if not well assured of his ability to support his allegations, he mast have known would land him in discomfiture and disgrace. He has, again and again, also declared his willingness to have the accuracy of his statements tested by any competent tribunal—whether a court of law in England or in India, a Commission appointed by the Crown or a committee at the India House, or the House of Commons. One solitary speech, therefore, and that b u t p ar ti a lly a ppli ca bl e t o th e matter in dispute, will not satisfy either the public mind or the demands of English justice, or have the effect of screening a gentleman who, doubtless, and deservedly, has many friends, from the imputation of having, as an agent and instrument, been guilty of unworthy acts, and of inflicting injury upon one who . was once the friend and favoured ally ally of the British Government. We pronounce no opinion on the merits of the case, questioning the propriety of the course adopted in the House of Commons. We say again, therefore, that an inquiry should have been granted, and the question so have been set at rest for ever, as between the accused and the accuser. We regret to find so few of the professed friends of free inquiry and popular government present last night to support a motion so rea sonable and necessary as that which was the subject of debate. A motion which, in its com prehensive bearings, vitally :affected the destinies of millions subject to British sway in India, was surely worthy the attention of the avowed advocates of popular rights at home, and of colonial reform abroad. Our conquered fellow•subjects in India, and our helple ss a lli es i n th a t coun t r y, are as much entitled, the one to have their appeals considered, and the other to 'protection and the benefits of a liberal and enlightened government, as are the people of this country to the blessings of untaxed bread and cheap sugar. We deem it an unfavourable symptom when we observe men, clamorous and energetic for the rights of their own immediate constituents, absent when the claims of the millions of India are preferred• There were enough and to spare of such men to have saved from defeat the motion of last night. Et nigration has latterly become a question of such profound importance to the population of England, that any earnest suggestion for the facilitation of transit between the mother country and her colonial possessions, is certain to be welcomed with gratitude. Of such suggestions there is just now anything but a dearth. Scheme after scheme pours in upon the journalist in addition to those which may have already risen into existence in his own imagination ; and each receives an advocacy from its originator as enthusi astic and unconditional as that awarded to the union of hydropathy and phlebotomy by the illustrious Doctor Sangrado. It cannot, therefore, be surprising, that we are beginning to regard with a somewhat fastidious judgment the plans thrust upon our atten tion, whether it be by a correspondent, a bookmaker, or a pamphleteer. Among the various propositions, however, which have latterly come under our obser vation in reference to this important subject of emi gration, there is one to which we would especially direct the observation of the public, because, to our selves, the plan propounded by the writer in question seems to be about the most ingenious and feasible that has up to this moment appeared. We allude to a pamphlet which has just been pub lished,* containing the development of a scheme con ceived by Mr. FREDERICK JERNINGHAM, whereby steam communication between England and Australia would be marvellously facilitated. The tendency of the proposal made by Mr. JERNINGEIAM may be at once conjectured from a sentence which occurs in page 9 of his pamphlet, (namely, "It was only yes terday I received a letter from New Zealand and one from Adelaide, the former was seven and the latter six months old,") and from coupling with that sen tence the calculations that the line of steam commu nication, mapped out by himself, would shorten the period of the voyage between the British Islands and New Zealand to an interval of just about two months. An excellent chart prefixed to the pamphlet materi ally assists in demonstrating the ingenuity of the proposed track—the outward bound line running from the English Channel by Cape Finisterre, the Canaries, Cape Verde Islands, Cape of Good Hope, and St. Paul's Island to Adelaide, Port Philip, and Sydney; the homeward bound line running from Adelaide by King George's Sound, the Mauritius, Cape Town, Sierra Leone, Cape Verde Islands, and the Azores to England, with branch lines, first, be tween the Mauritius and the Cape of Good Hope ; secondly, from Launceston to Port Philip ; and thirdly, from Port Jackson round the islands of New Zealand. To say the least of it, the proposition is worthy of a very serious consideration. As an additional stimulus to the great movement of emigration from the British islands, nothing could be better conceived than the new association, called the " Society for the Promotion of Colonization" which held its preliminary meeting yesterday afternoon in the Hanover-square Rooms. Never, we may safely aver without fear of contradiction, has an association been more urgently required for any purpose what ever than this one for the promotion of colonization! To our thinking it is the great want of the age — beyond socialism in France, beyond locofocoism in the United States, beyond progressistaism in Spain, or any other of those isms and schisms which are just now setting mankind more than ever at loggerheads. The object of the new society, such as it was de scribed by the Chairman, the Earl of HARROWEY, and afterwards by the humane and earnest voice of Lord ASHLEY, is to facilitate the transmission of emigrants from the mother country to those colonies which are best calculated to afford room for their industry, localities for their habitation, and crops for their nourishment. Such an effort has become abso lutely requisite, and when private charity is useless, and when Government is resolved upo❑ remaining inactive, it is time for a society of this character to be formed. " Steam Communication with the Cape of Good Hope, Australia, and New Zealand, suggested as the means of promoting Emigration to those Colonies." By Frederick Jerningbam, pp. 23, Svo.

It is said that permission will be asked of the Assembly to prosecute M. PROUDuoN for the publica tion of an article in the Representant du Pelvic of Sunday, recommending all tenants and mortagees to withhold a third of their rents and interests, and urging them to proceed en masse to the Assembly to present a petition to that effect. The Constitutionnel publishes the report of the medical man who was delegated to make examina tions at the different hospitals relative to the allega tion of poisoned balls having been used by the in surgents during the late conflicts, from which we extract the following : " Has the medical examination of the wounds, with their complications and their consequences, confirmed or contradicted the atrocious charges made against some of the insurgents? Has it produced any proofs of the infernal combination of iron and poison? We are happy to say that it has not. .There certainly h ave b een se i ze d on the persons of the insurgents, or in their stores, several projectiles prepared with the most horrible art. One surgeon has declared in the Gazette Medicate having seen one ball in which arsenic had been mixed in a large proportion in the metal of which it was made; and the same surgeon remarked, with regard to balls covered with a coppery substance, that the wounds inflicted with them would have all the character of poison havinc, been introduced. Balls were also found which had b ee n cast in a thimble, and to which were attached by a small nail pieces of cloth coloured with some green substance. But if some insurgents, in a paroxysm of furious bate, can have dreamt of those cruel combinations, they have not attained their object; either they have been alarmed by their own inventions, and hesi• tated at using those poisonous balls, or from their baying passed so quickly through the wounds they have not had time to produce their double effect ; the surgeons of the hospitals have not, up to the present time, been able to discover any of the effects which would have been produced, or any aggravation in the character of the wounds which they can attribute to the action of any poisonous influence." We read in the Dressager of yesterday evening : "There was a talk at the National Assembly this day, of the discovery and defeat of a plot at Sedan, at the moment when it was on the point of being put int o e xecution. It is said that twelve of the principal estab• lishments of that town were to have been burned, and vengeance to have been exercised upon the manufacturers who had refused to accede to a reduction of the hours of labour. It is proper to state that certain deputies of the A r d e nnes declared that they had not received any in formation of this kind ; but, on the other hand, letters containing the news, and coming from an honourable source, were spoken of." We yesterday mentioned that the house of Queen CHRISTINA, in the Rue de Courcelles, had been searched, as also a house in the Rue de Maromesnil, which was the property of Queen CHRISTINA. The Moniteu#, in announcing the fact, states that nothing was found, and that the search was the consequence of precipitation. It appears that there is a defalcation in the accounts of the Bank of San Fernando to the amount of 100,0001., which money was, it is said, sent to Paris by Queen CHRISTINA for the purpose of aiding the insurrection, CHRISTINA giving merely a verbal guarantee to the Bank for its repayment. It was to Spain, and not to England, that M. FLocori alluded when he spoke of the insurrection having been fomented by foreign gold. The Bien Public denies authoritatively the rumour r mediate h h ee a d t alStle.

The Monitcur publishes a list of the Members ap pointed by the Minister of the Interior as a Com mittee to distribute the sums set aside by the National Assembly for the purpose of giving advances and premiums for the encouragement of industry in shape of mauufactures or other private enterprises, and commercial and departmental works of public utility. The Committee consists of MM. WALDECK, Rous- SEAU, DUCOS, RANDOING, and GRANDIN, Members of the Assembly; MEMERiL, President of the General Council of Manufactures, &c. Another Commission is formed under the Minister of Commerce for the encouragement of agriculture, by the distribution of the three millions of francs set aside for that purpose by the National Assembly, " in advances to associations freely contracted, whether between labourers, or between labourers and their employers." M. DE CHAYEAUBRIAND has named in his will MM. MANDAROUX-VERTAMY, LOUIS DE CHATEAU DRIIND (his nephew), HYDE DE NEUVILLE, and DE LEvis, as the friends to whose care he confides the superintendence of the publication of his posthumous memoirs, to which he has given the fantastic title of illemoires doutre-tombe. The question of one or two Chambers is warmly debated between the party of the old dynastic gauche under the leadership of M. TIIIERS, and that of the moderate reptolicans who follow the banner of M. ARMAND MARRAST. The Bien Public, M. DE LAMARTINE'S paper, says— " The Club des Representans du Peuple, of which M. Marrast is the president, and which meets at the Palais National, held a sitting on Sunday night, which did not break up till a very late hour. The projected constitu tion is said to have peen the subject in discussion, and to have given rise to warm debates. If the information we have received be correct, the club came to an almost unanimous vote in favour of the legislative power being vested in a single Chamber." The fifth, seventh, and ninth bureaux have decided in favour of only one Chamber, and M. LITERS, despair.ng of carrying two Chambers, is now endeavouring to increase the power of the President. He proposes that the President, after having served for three years, should be re-eligible for three years more, so that he might retain office for six years in all, but that after that period he should not be re eligible. He also proposes that the President should have the power of suspending a resolution of the Assembly for eight days, after which the question should be submitted to the Council of State, and if it approved of the suspension, that then the question should be again submitted to the Assembly, where its determination should be final. He proposes that the President should have the prerogative of mercy ; but that in order to exercise it he must have the ap probation of the Council of State ; and lastly he proposes that the salary of the President should be one million of frmcs per annum. MARTIN, DE3RAT, LEDRU, and LECORNU, the Gardes Mobiles who were decorated for their coura geous conduct during the insurrection, are to be im • mediately received at St. Cyr, and several others are to obtain a similar favour.

ACCEPTANCE BY THE ARCHDUKE OF THE ADMINISTRATORSHIP OF GER MANY. The deputation from Frankfort arrived at Vienna on the 4th, which was celebrated as a fete day in Vienna. On the sth the deputation went in state to the Palace of Archduke JOHN. At ten o'clock in the morning the civic authorities and the National Guard and students went in procession to the house where the Frankfort deputies had taken up their abode ; and, after an exchange of greeting between them and the heads of the procession, they got into Court car riages prepared for the occasion, and, followed by the rest of the procession, went to the State Chancery. The procession was greeted as it passed by the most enthusiastic cheering of immense crowds, which had assembled, and the ringing of hells. The streets were hung with flags and banners. The deputation was accompanied on its entrance into the State Chancery by the civic authorities, and they were received by his Imperial Highness, surrounded by the Austrian Ministers, the Ambassadors of all the German States, and numbers of Generals. At the palace a battalion of Grenadiers and National Guards were drawn up as a guard of honour. The Deputies were immediately ushered into the presence of his Imperial Hi g h ness , w h o was sur rounded by a brilliant staff and all the Ministers and the Representatives of all the German Courts. Baron ADRIAN then spoke as follows : "The Constituent German National Assembly sends to your Imperial sp !less, through the present depu tation greeting. A s Vi ce -P res id ent o f t h e C ons tit ue nt National Assembly, w ill y ou r I m p er i a l reectful High Highness allow me to call up on th e Sp ea k er t o rea d t h e address of the National Assembly to your Imperial Highness ? " The address, which is as follows, was then read : " IMPERIAL HIGHNESS ! " The Constituent National Assembly, in its sitting of the 28th of June, passed a law on the establishment of a provisional central power for Germany, as herein con tained, and to the execution of the same, proceeds to day to the election of au Administrator of the Empire (Reichs- verweser). " Your Imperial Highness having been selected and proclaimed Administrator amidst the loud applause of the National Assembly, will deign to perceive from this protocol that the Assembly has selected seven of its members, viz.— " Vice-President Baron Victor V. Andrian, of Austria, " The Speaker, Dr. Friederich Jucho, of Frankfort, and the deputies— " Karle Franke, of Schleswig Holstein. " Dr. J. Gustav Heckscher, of Hamburgh. " Franz Raveaux, of Rheni s h Prussia. " Herrmann of Rottenhan, of Bavaria, and " Von Saucken-Tarputschen, of Prussia, to make your Imperial Highness acquainted with its proceedings. "The Pritsidium of the National Assembly fulfils the mission intrusted to it, by giving formal credentials to the said deputies to wait upon your Imperial Highness. " It obeys its sentiments when it expresses the confi dence with which it beholds the direction of the affairs of Germany placed in the hands of a Prince who, above all others, knew how to respond in words never to be forgotten, to the demands of unity and unison in our fatherland. May it please your Imperial Highness graciously to receive our respectful homage. " The Prresidium of the Constituent National As sembly. " H. GAGERN, " SOIRON, " Frankfort, June 29, 1848." " ANDRIAN. HECRSCHER, then addressed the ARCH-DUKE in a very complimentary speech, concluding as follows : " One wish animates the whole nation, to which we subscribe with all our heart : it is, that your Imperial Highness will decide to accept the high calling which their love and confidence in yeur Imperial Highness has induced them to offer." The ARCH-DUKE replied in the following terms : " Gentlemen—l feel myself flattered and honoured by the choice that has fallen upon me to fill the important post of Administrator of the empire—a selection which the Assembly has assured me has received the approba tion of the German Governments. " The confidence and well wishes thus shown towards me, impose great obligations upon me. To fulfil them is ray most ardent desire. I feel in full measure the honour, and at the same time the importance and the difficulties attending the dignity conferred upon me. May the Almighty provide me with the necessary strength to reply to the same for the welfare o f the German Fatherland ; may all true friends of our country lend me their aid to that end. The desired o bj ect can b e o bt a i ne d o nly through unity, re ciprocal mo d era ti on , di s int e restedness of views , and love of justi ce . G ent l emen , I b eg o f you to be persuaded of one th ing, that my sole ambit ion shall consist in em ploying for the w e lf are o f our coun try. I am placed , however, the remaining strength of my advanced y ears in ems dilemma. I allude to my position here. It pre vents me al rea dy f rom s tating when I shall be able to assume the d u ti es o f Administrator of the Empire. I shall, with out d e l ay, enter into communication with the Emperor, my most gracious master , t o see how I may reconcile the dutie s o f my new position with the confi dence he had previously placed in me." The ARORDUKE'S speech was listened to in the deepest silence, and ANDRIAN replied as follows : " The National Assembly receives, through us, with gratification and joy, the assurance of the acceptance on the part of your Imperial Highness. It finds thereby the confidence justified which it ever placed in the true German sentiments of your Imperial Highness." The ARCLIDVICE then advanced with the Deputies on to the balcony, after exclaiming, " Now, we are all brothers !" and addressed the assembled multitude beneath in a short but well-adapted speech, of which ‘ermany was the burthen. One hundred and one guns then announced to the world that Germany had selected one supreme head—a Reichs-verwerser, or THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1848. Administrator of the Empire. The national hymn once more struck up, and was sung in chorus by the immense multitude. ITALY. LOMBARDY ANI) VENICE. UNION OF VENICE WITH SARDINIA. The forces of CHARLES ALBERT have been for some time concentrating at Cremona, and there is every probability that by this time a decisive action has been fought with the Atistrians in the neighbourhood of Legnano. Intelligence has been received from Venice to the 3d instant. On that day the union of the Venetian provinces with Sardinia was proclaimed, in accordance with the resolutions of the Chamber, the Civic Guard, and the people. The Avvenire d'ltalia of Milan, of the 6th, an nounces from Peschiera (30th ult) that CHARLES ALBERT has changed his plan of operations, and given up the idea of attacking Verona. His present plan appears to be, to leave a body of 25,000 men to defend the line of the Mincio, while the main body would pass the Po at Borgeforte, traverse a part of the Modenese, pass the Po again at Brescello or Ferrara, and deliver the Venetian provinces from the presence of the Austrians. After these operations Verona would be blockaded. The present inaction is relieved now and then by skirmishes with the ad vanced post. On the Ist. inst. the Duke of GENOA repulsed the Austrians at Rivoli. BLOCKADE OF TRIESTE. Admiral ALBINI, Commander-in-Chief of the Ita lian fleet before Trieste, has replied to the protest of the German Consuls, that he should recognise Trieste as appertaining to the Germanic Confederation when the Austrian flag was substituted by that of the Ger man empire. He, however, notified his intention of sending the protest to the King CHARLES ALBERT by the route of Ancona, but that he should continue the blockade until he received instructions to the contrary. The Sardinian fleet consists of 13 ves sels, one of which, the San Michele, is a noble frigate of 64 guns; the other vessels carry 24 guns. The Bellone, of 52 guns, is the largest vessel of the Aus trian fleet, and she is backed by 11 gun brigs. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. NEW MEMBER. ' Mr. SANDARS took the oaths and his seat for Great Yarmouth. THIRD READINGS. The following Bills were read a third time and passed : Crossford Bridge aiad Manchester Road. Thorne Moor Drainage and Improvement. REPORTS. The reports to the following Bills were considered and agreed to, and the Bills ordered to be engrossed : Edinburgh Police (Amendment and Consolidation of Acts, and Police and Sanitary Improvement). New Ross Port and Harbour. EXETER AND E)TMOUTH RAILWAY. Sir JOHN DUCKWORTH moved that it be an in struction to the Committee of Selection to appoint the Committee on the Exeter and Exmouth Railway Acts Amendment Bill to sit forthwith if they shall so think fit. Agreed to. RIVER NENE. Mr. HASTINGS RUSSELL moved that the report from the Committee on the River Nene Improvement and Drainages (recommitted) Bill be considered on Fri day next, provided amended prints be delivered to the doorkeepers one clear day previously.—Agreed to. Sir BENJAMIN HALL presented several petitions from Marylebone in favour of Parliamentary Reform. SUNDAY TRADING. Mr. BROTHERTON presented several petitions from the metropolis and other places against Sunday trading. Similar petitions were presented by Sir L. O'BRIEN. CHANCERY COURTS (IRELAND). Mr. G. HAMILTON, pursuant to notice, wished to ask the Secretary for Ireland whether it is the intention of Government to propose any measure for the appoint ment of additional taxing masters of the Court of Chan cery in Ireland; also, whether it is intended to introduce any measure for consolidating and amending the laws relating to attorneys and solicitors in Ireland. Sir W. SOMERVILLE could not undertake to say that it was the intention of the Government to appoint additional taxing masters, but the subject was under the consideration of the Government, and he hoped that some measure would be adopted by which existing evils in the Court of Chancery in Ireland might be done away with. In reply to the other question, the laws relating to attorneys and solicitors in Ireland, he begged to in form the Hon. Member that they were at present under the consideration of the Government. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for going into Committee on this Bill being read, _ _ _ An HON. MEMBER moved that it be postponed until this day week. Sir B. HALL said the Bill had been brought in by an lion. Member (Mr. Reynolds) who called himself an independent Irish Member, and who said that it in volved matters of the greatest importance to municipal corporations in Ireland; but although it stood the first order of the day, and thus presented the best opportu nity of bringing the subject under the attention of the house, the motion had again been withdrawn. He now only wished to say a few words, for the purpose of call ing the attention of the House and tke country to the absurdity of this proceeding. The paper of the House had been constantly filled with notices given by Irish Members, and as soon as an opportunity presented itself for bringing the question on, however vital and important it might be, the invariable practice was to postpone it until another occasion. —(Cries of " Hear.") He also referred to a notice of motion which stood on the books yesterday relative to the temporalities of the Church, than which nothing was more interesting to the Irish people. That notice of motion had been on the books for some months, and month after month it had been postponed. With regard to the present Bill, here was an opportunity for bringing it on; and, there fore, he hoped that the Hon. Gentlemen (Mr. Reynolds) who brought it in would state when he went back to Ire land the real facts of the case, and admit that though the Bill stood the first order of the day, and the House was willing to pay attention to it, he was not himself in his place, and took no concern about it whatever. Sir GEORGE GREY stated that the absence of Mr. Reynolds was owing to his being engaged upon the Dub lin Election Committee. Mr. STAFFORD observed that as the duties of that Committee would, in all probability, not be concluded until the end of the session, the Bill might be looked upon as virtually postponed until next session. The motion for going into Committee on the Bill was then fixed for this day week. SUNDAY TRADING (METROPOLIS), BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on: this Bill, Mr. BINDLEY presented a number of petitions from Lambeth, Marylebone, St. Luke's, St. John's, and St. Margaret's, Westminster, St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, St. Bride's, St. Andrew's, Holborn, St. Dunstan's, Christ church, Surrey, and a number of other places, all against Sunday trading. Mr. BARING WALL rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE —WEDNESDAY Notwithstanding the arrivals of Wheat of home pro duce for our market this week have been on a very mo derate scale the demand for all descriptions today, owing to the favourable state of the weather for the crops, was in a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's reduced currencies. The best parcels of foreign Whoat, the show of which was comparatively small, were mostly held at full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing. For al a l tilr k : i ma n s da wth i e f l ' i ß la a as r rg l F e e y lo t u h r e , demand was very dull, but we have no further decline to notice in value. In Malt scarcely . a transaction took place. Beans, rAelalsk:lnlclid:a:n3fo Corn,Ors ( a a n r ld i i s o i n : : :. im ports from abroad) were very dull, and the turn lower. were a very slow inquiry. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wh ea t.

ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN IN WORKHOUSES.'By a Parliamentery document just published, it is shown that there were, in March, 1847, as many as 15,230 ille gitimate children in workhouses; of which number the mothers of 10,001 were likewise in workhouses. Rear-Admiral Sir George and Lady Seymour and family have arrived in town from Portsmouth, after an absence of three years in the Facific. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE There was a good demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday. Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales. The market had an upward tendency. American realised 3d. to 50. per lb. Railway Shares were better. Accounts of June 5, from Pernambuco state that the exchange on London was 25d. for sixty days' bills, with very little doing. Freight to Liverpool 31. and 51 per cent. for sugar. The first entire cargo of West India pine apples, this season, by sailing vessel, has arrived. At the Bahamas this article of export has now assumed some importance, and the accounts just received mention that property was becoming more valuable, and that one estate, which yields annually half a million of pines, would shortly be offered for sale in England. The Grantham Bank has declared a first dividend of 103. in the pound. The Peruvian Bondholders, at their meeting yester day decided upon rejecting the paltry terms offered by the Finance Minister, and decided rightly, as we think. They have the support of Lord Palmerston and the ad vantage of the co-operation of Mr. Addams, the British Minister at Lima. Experience has shown that "conver sions" are dangerous, both in principle and practice,where guarantees already given are to be resigned, and much less valuable security is offered for the performance of the new agreement. The Peruvian Government is fully in a position to carry out an equitable compromise, and from what we observed yesterday of the temper of the meeting, the bondholders desire nothing more. They are not hard taskmasters, as their patient endurance dur ing many years sufficiently testifies, and it must go forth to the world that national faith, if not respected abroad, shall at least be considered here as a thing not lightly to be estimated. The state of the Colonial Bank, as appears from the report of the directors, is still far from flourishing. The sad prostration of credit in the colonies has entailed such losses upon the establishment as it will need a long time to redeem, but there is still some hope, aad a further trial will be given. The Corn Market is heavy to-day. Money continues abundant, and railway debentures are taken up more freely. The English Stock Market has been firm again, with a moderate business doing, and in the absence of any particular foreign news. Consols are 874 to 87i for present transfer, and 871 to 87k for account. Ex chequer-bills have been 41s. to 445. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 87k. to 87k.
