Inas• much as it speaks for itself, any comment on the feelings of Me Council is needless. Ministers have played rather a clan , gerous game. The people are dissatisfied—the Tories are in Txtacies at the idea of having frightened Lord John Russell. The general wish here is that the Lords may fling the Bill 111 . the teeth of Ministers, and compel them to adopt that course which becr.eries them as men pledged to the people. " DE AR S ias,—We have learned with alarming dismay that his 111-:,,jest Ministers in the House of Commons last nieh t hz .le they express their disagreement with some of the alteratior,s made in the Municipal Reform Bill by the Lords, Pear I tilling to give up many of the morn. essential proyi -1"3 e()mprised in th e or i ginal Bill, and to accept to the fol ic:m " Firin, among others, of th e L ords ' amendments : I st.

London. Macrone, St. James's-square. 1835. The pictorial embellishments of these volumes are a full-length portrait of Satan, by Graves, from a painting by Westall ; the Fall of the Rebel Angels, by Goodall ; and the Temptation on the Mountain, by Causen, both from designs, by Turner ; and a half length portrait of the great poet, in the twenty-first year of his age, by Edwards, from a painting, by Jansen. Turner's illustrations of these volumes are by no means so happy as we were prepared to expect. The Fall of the Rebel Angels is dreamily indistinct ; and the sitting attitude of Satan in the Temptation on the Mount is one of the most ludicrously unnatural positions that could be selected. The very language of the Evangelists, describing the temptation in the wilderness and on the mount, ought to have satisfied the artist that the Devil ought not to be represented in a sitting posture, while proffering to the Redeemer the " Kingdoms of this world and the glory of them." Not the least valuable accompaniment to this superb edition .of Milton's works are the editor's notes upon the text which immediately follow each book. The peculiar merit of these is that they embody not only the editor's opinion of the meaning of the more ob scure passages, but likewise all that the most learned commentators upon Paradise Lost and Regained, have written upon the questions forming the subject of in quiry. In families where it is usual to read Milton aloud for the instruction of the younger members, these notes will prove of invaluable service ; and even readers of mature age will derive much instruction from them, of which they may be now unable to form any con ception. The work when completed ought, and will, find its way into every library in the kingdom. NEW and COMPLETE MANUAL of AUSCULTA TION and PERCUSSION, APPLIED to the DIAGNOSIS of DISEASES. BY M. A. BACIIIORSKI, D.M.P. TRANSLATED BY WILLIAM FITZHERBERT, B.d. London. A. H. Bailey. 1835. Without entering into any analysis of the principle of attempting to discover the seat of distempers by filiping or percussing the flesh with the fingers, or in stalments made for the purpose, we must express a hope that a mode of treatment so liable to the grossest abuses will never become popular in this country. The subject is so delicate a one that we cannot ap proach it without doing violence to our own sense of propriety. Every husband and father must regard it as affecting his own honour, and the purity of those minds which he most desires to preserve immaculate.

HALLEY'S COMET. The first of these is a moveable circle representing , the surface of the celestial globe, which by being ar ranged in a particular way, will shew in what part of the heavens the Comet is at any hour either in the day or in the night till next February. It represents the signs of the Z o di ac i n var i ous co l ours, an d des- cribes the path of the Comet through the heavenly bodies. The pamphlet purporting to be a guide to, and history of the Comet, is a familiar essay, of which the cost is only three-halfpence. A wit would find the title worth double the cost, particularly if he were in want of a subject for an article in " Fraser" or the " New Monthly." The following extract from it is rather interesting •-- " The Comet will become visible in every part of Europe about the latter end of August or beginning of September ; that is to say, rather more than two months before its arrival at that point where it will be nearest the sun. Its situation also will be favourable to the splendour of its appearance. It will most probably be distinguishable by the naked eye, like a star of the first magnitude, but with a duller light than that of a planet, and surrounded with a pale nebulosity, which will slightly impair its splendour. We are not, however, to expect any of those vast and awful phenomena which threw our remote ancestors of the middle ages into agonies of su perstitious terror, and caused public prayers to be put up in the churches against the Comet and its malignant agencies. On the night of the 3d of October, about midnight, it will appear in the east, at an elevation of about thirty degrees : and will be a little above a line joining the star called Castor, with the star Alpha in the Great Bear. Between that hour and sunrise, it will ascend the firmament, and will cross the meridian near the zenith of London about sunrise. On the night of the 7th, the comet will approach the well known constellation of Ursa Major; and between that and the 11th, it will pass directly through the seven conspicuous stars of that constellation. In our latitude this constellation never sets, and, consequently, the comet may be looked for at any hour of the night. But the time most favourable for its appearance will be on the 7th, before the commencement of the morning twilight ; on the 9th, at any time in the ab sence of twilight, when it will Hiss during the night from the north-west to the north-east, its altitude not, however, exceeding thirty-five degrees; and . on the 11th, after the close of the evening twilight, when it will be seen approach mg the constellation of the Crown, in a direction a little ' north of west, and at an altitude of about thirty degrees. " Towards the end of November, the Comet will plunge among the rays of the sun, and disappear, and will not issue from them on the other side until the end of December. On its departure from the sun, it is doubtful whether it will be visible at all ; but, under any circumstances, it cannot remain long apparent. Its next visit will be in 1911. " One of the circumstances, not the least surprising, con nected with this Comet, is the magnitude of its orbit. It is a very oblon g ova l, t h e tota l length of which is about thirty six times the earth's distance from the sun ; and the greatest breadth about ten times that distance. The earth's distance from the sun i s , i n roun d numbers, one hundred millions of miles; the Comet's least distance then will be fifty millions of miles, and its greatest distance three thousand five hundred and fifty millions of miles. If the successive returns of the periodic Comets should establish satisfactorily the existence of the luminous ether, it will follow that after the lapse of a certain time, every Comet will ultimately fall into the sun. Notwithstanding the discovery of the periodic Comets of Encke and Biela, still that of Halley maintains a paramount interest; although the former are unquestionably objects of attention, yet their short periods, and the limited space within which they are circumscribed in their motion, render them for all physical purposes nothing more than new planets of un appreciable mass belonging to our system. Unlike other known Comets, they do not rush from the invisible and inac cessible depths of space, and, after sweeping our system, depart to distances under the conception of which the imagi nation itself is confounded. They possess none of that gran. deur which is connected with whatever appears to break through the fixed order of the universe. It is still reserved for the Comet of Halley alone to exhibit a phenomenon, so far as we know, unique ; to afford a splendid result of those powers of calculation by which we are enabled to follow it through the depths of space, two thousand millions of miles beyond the ex treme verge of the solar system ; and, although disturbances which render each succeeding period of its return different from the last, to foretel that return with precision. " By far the greater number of Comets appear to be mere masses of vapour, totally divested of all concrete or solid matter. So prevalent is this character, that some observers held it to be universal. No rational, or even plausible, ac count has yet been rendered of those immensely voluminous appendages which they bear about with them, and are known by the name of their tails (though improperly, since they often precede them in their motions,) any more than of several other singularities which they present. Seneca mentions the fact of stars having been distinctly seen through Comets, which has been confirmed by Sir W. Herschell and his son. The light of Comets is an effect of which astronomers have hitherto given no satisfactory account ; the doubt is, whether the light which proceeds from them, and by which they become visible, is their own, or is that of the sun shining upon them, and re flected to our eyes like light from a cloud. " Since the above was prepared for press, Sir James South has had the honour of being the first astronomer to discover the Comet in England, with the aid of a telescope, on Sunday, the 23d, at four in the morning, in the path indicated in the chart as that of Damoiseau."

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he was entrusted with a petition from Spalding, in favour of the Executors' Administration Bill, and took that opportunity of stating, that both this Bill, and the Registration of Wills Bill, had been fully discussed in Committee and otherwise, and that at one sitting of the House, nine successive hours were occupied in discussing its details ; therefore the assertion that had been made in another place that these Bills had been smuggled through the House was most unfair.—( Hear.) If those who made that assertion would condescend to meet him in pri vate conference, he would soon convince them how erroneous such a statement was.--( Cries of "Order" from the Opposition. ) Mr. E WART supported the prayer of the petition. SIR PETER LAURIE. General PALMER gave notice of his intention on Mon day to present a petition relative to the conduct of Sir Peter Laurie, and others of the Court of Aldermen of the city of London, and Governors of. Bethlehem Hospital, in the case of a female lunatic, now confined there ; and being a question of the deepest interest, not only to the petitioners, but to the whole country, and to the cause of humanity throughout the world, he humbly hoped for the atten tion of his Majesty's Ministers to the subject, and that nothing might prevent him (General Palmer) from having an oppor tunity of bringing it forward. Sergeant WILDE presented a petition frow Newark against the alterations in the Municipal Reform Bill. COLONIAL AGRICULTURE. Mr. CR A WFORD presented a petition from the Agricul tural Society of Calcutta, a society established to improve the agriculture of that country, having among its members the chief justice of Bengal, Dr. Willis, a celebrated botanist, and many eminent men. The prayer of the petition was for an equali zation of the duties on the produce of India with the rates charged on the same articles imported from the British Colonies in the West Indies, especially coffee and sugar. India had now become more essentially than ever an agricultural country ; in fact, three-fourths of the people were interested in the prosperity of agriculture. The great resources of the country required only the removal of restrictions to be developed. India required encouragement now more es sentially, since she possessed no other means of supply ing the annual drain on her resources required by the late Act of Parliament relating to her Government. It had not been his intention to present this petition at the present mo ment ; he had intended to keep it till the commencement of the next session, in the hope that before the House had many days met, they should have a discussion with reference to the equali zation of the Sugar Duties. He was, however, induced to present the petition, in consequence of some circumstances which had taken place connected with a Bill before that House, under the title of the Custom Duties' Bill. The object of that Bill was to reduce the duty upon Coffee, the produce of the British possessions in the East Indies to the duty upon West India coffee. The Bill had but one enacting clause, and when it came out of Committee, it stood in this condition, viz. that from the passing of that Bill, the duty upon coffee should be reduced to sixpence, the same as West India Coffee__ ( Hear, hear, hear.) He had attended the progress of that Bill with considerable anxiety—he had watched through the Committee for the purpose, if it were proposed to insert any clause requiring a certificate of origin, some modi fication should take place. The Bill was reported, and stood for the third reading without any clause to that effect being sug gested. He was not a little surprised to find the third reading of the Bill was postponed at the suggestion of the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, whom he was very sorry not to see present. Upon bearing of that postponement, he took an opportunity of seeing that Right Hon. Gentleman, and left him under the firm conviction that he would not proceed to adopt any certificate of origin without giving him (Mr. S.) an opportunity of being heard. He found to his astonishment, under these circumstances, that the Bill had been read a third time, with an appended additional clause to the effect that there should be required a particular sort of certificate which was not in use, and which was.impos sible to comply with. It was proposed to allow coffee grown in Ceylon to be introduced for consumption at sixpence duty; and, in the same manner, coffee coming from India was liable to a higher rate of duty than was proposed in the terms of the enactment of the Bill. As his attention was much directed to commercial subjects, it might be said in a p ar ti cu l ar manner to d evolve upon him, and he had taken every means to have an opportunity of speak ing in his place before this took place—( Hear, hear) and had been disappointed from a course of events not under his controul, having been followed in this bill in a way not usual and exeeedingly inconvenient. He had been de prived of this opportunity at the proper time to make these observations, and to press upon the House the neces sity of modifying the certificate, so that it should be in the power of parties to render one in compliance with the Act. He had heard it said that there was no reason why East India Coffee in this country should not be liable to the high duties. It was stated that it was in the possession of parties who had bought it expecting to pay the high duties ; in answer to that he would only say that it was within his own knowledge that all the coffee hitherto imported into this country grown under the Madras Government, came here as the property of the original planters. Under these circumstances he could not see how the growers of coffee in Ceylon should be subject to the continuance of this duty, for the space of fourteen months to come. He thought the measure one of the highest injustice to the East India growers, and in direct contravention of the clause of the Act. He had made these observations, in the hope that something would be done in the course of the next Session, to relieve them from the in justice under which they laboured. Mr. LABOUC HERE was sorry that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was not in his place, in order to explain what he must consider a misconception on the part of the Hon. Member. He could assure him that it was not the wish, and never was the intention, of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take him or the House by surprise.— ( Hear.) He could only say with regard to the question, the Hon. Gentleman had mentioned, that he knew it was the opinion and intention of his Right Hon. Friend, when the measure was first proposed for the consideration of the House, while on the one hand he was most desirous to place the coffee, the produce of the East Indies, on the same footing as that of the West Indies, with regard to the amount of duty, yet he considered it due to the West India Colonies to place the CoiThe of the East Indies under the same restrictions of cer tificate of growth. That certainly was his intention from the commencement. He would only state with regard to the petition which had been presented by the Hon. M em b er , t h at h e perfectly coin c id e d w i t h the sentiments he had expressed. He was most desirous that the House should give every en couragement for the developement of the agriculture of the East Indies. SIR ARTHUR WILMOT ; A TALE OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. In 2 Vols. London: Cochrane and Co. 1835. This is a tale of the civil wars in England —a sub ject which ought only to be approached by novelists of first-rate ability. It is strange that young authors, (we always judge of an author's age by the amount of experience and observation which we find reflected in his works), should almost always treat of inordinate passions or feelings, and sensations of which few men can form an opinion from personal experience. Thus, excessive terror, deep remorse, implacable resentment, suicidal meditations, and murderous resolves, such as Steinberg himself would have shrank from, are mere playthings in the hands of several juvenile book makers, with many pretensions to the celebrity of novel-writers for the season. The basis of the fiction before us, is Remorse—a state of mind of which we know but little, and never desire to know more. Seve ral of the best passages are, in the expressive language of Bulwcr, " overwritten," to an extent for which no beauty in the story itself can compensate. The writer may not require to know that our opinion of the merits of his tale is formed from skimming over de tached passages—we tried to read it through after our usual fashion, but the effort was too much for us. Mr. P. STEWART thought the Act had come up to the limit intended by the House—namely, placing the duties upon an equal footing, both in the East and West Indies. The Act went no further than to prevent Foreign Colonies from coming in to prejudice to their own. Mr. CRAWFORD explained. He had no intention of throwing out any taunt upon the proceedings of his Ma jesty's Ministers. He had merely wished to vindicate himself. Mr. EWA RT admired the manner in which the Hon. Member for Lancaster had defended the policy of his Majesty's Government. He should ever support any motion for placing the produce of the East and West Indies on an equal footing, and he would say that it was disgraceful to that House to have these duties so long without equalization. The impor tation of sugar from the West Indies was 400,000,000 cwt., while the total amount which was imported from the East Indies was only 77,000 cwt., although in the latter country it was the spontaneous produce of the soil, only want ing capital and skill to render it most productive. The quan tity of coffee imported from the West Indies was 22 millions of lbs., while that from the East Indies, was only one and a half millions of lbs. He had often heard the propriety of equalizing the duties upon sugar, and the articles of agricul tural produce in these countries, arid the facts he had stated were corroborative of the necessity of that measure. He had often called the attention of that House to the ar ticle of pepper. In the year 1825 the duty had been reduced from half-a-crown to one shilling per pound, and the consumption immediately rose from 900,0001b5. to 1,500,001b5. Now he (Mr. E wart) contended that a duty of Is. in the lb., was a most extravagant one, more especially when the favoured West India article of Pimento was admitted on payment of a duty of sd. only. He hoped the East Indies would not sub mit to this injustice, but would forward remonstrances, and if that did not succeed, something more determined than re. monstrance. Mr. BUCKINGHAM complained of the depressed state in which the commerce o f I nd i a was at present, from the in justice with which they had been treated with respect to the articles imported from that country into England. There were not less than 800 millions of acres of surface in that c ountry a b undantly productive, and people were indus trious to an extraordinary degree; and yet, with all these ad vantages, the trade of the country was almost annihilated. India had been treated most unfairly by this country. They had given it a charter, and had provided for it institutions simi, lag to their own; an d yet a ll t h e t i me they had been only prac tising delusion with respect to India. He trusted that the professions that had been made would end in something more than mere words. If not, he hoped the Government of India and the people of England would press the subject upon his Majesty's Government in a tone that would be irresistible. Mr. ROBINSON feared there would be somewhat more of difficulty attending the equalization of the duties than Hon. Members were aware of. Whenever his Majesty's Govern ment did so, he hoped along with equalizing the duties on sugar, they would effect a considerable reduction in them. Mr. GROVE PRICE presented a ,petition from Sir John Claridge, late memb er o f th e C our t o f R e c or d o f Prince of Wales's I s l an d an d t h e I s l an d o f Si ncapore , complaining that the Government of India had not fulfilled the terms of his ap pointment, and praying for an enquiry into his case. Sir J. HOBHO USE was of opinion that the House ought not to interfere with this case, which was purely one of law, and did not come within the jurisdiction of the House. The ATTORNEY GENERAL made a few remarks which were understood to be confirmative of the opinion of Sir J. Hobhouse. Mr. WYNN also t'iought the House ought not to interfere. Dr. LUSHINGTON, as a Member of this House, felt that though he had been interested in the case, he could not interfere. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the House at its rising do adjourn to Monday next. In answer to a question by Mr. ROEBUCK, Sir G. GREY said, that the question respecting Mr. Guillmem, of Canada, was a mere technical question, and was not at all of a serious nature. Lord J. RUSSEL moved the third read;,n-r of the Tith© Instalment Bill. dAR. - Y. • ;sell ay 9 e: tred si agent rom, )ns Lordship in tbe n of Lean MO' then agi F eed ,-rnsT, an d V' Cie Con; i'erenee, Ti e Lose ritivy SE 0, the 7,3; s hop at warcE ' 8 rid 10ra le Con :evence co ;snow; it novel' iendmr nits on tbe 'ration this do!' oduced liord shift t lic"ioad of is own trty, i and ought Nn -merited • reprO f ' ot.

( Hear.) Mr. I - I.:GRATTAN gave notice, that next Session he should more, That Tithes in Ireland be abolished, in name and substance, also a motion, as the House of Lords had thrown out several measures intended for the benefit of Ireland, under pretence of their having originated with one individual, a Com mittee should be app o i n t e d to inquire into the effects of this course, and how tar the Legislative Union was the cause thereof. The Loa' ADVOCATE moved the third reading of the Instruments of Sasine (Scotland) Bill. Mr. P. STEWART moved as an amendment on the first clause, to leave out, " and also reserving to all parties who before the 12th of May in this present year, shall have ob jected judicially to the validity of any writ or writs on the ground of erasure, and all pleas that would have been com petent to them before the passing of this Act." Sir R. FE RGUSSON opposed the amendment. The LORD ADVOCATE felt bound to resist the amend ment. Mr. 'WARBURTON called upon the House to do justice and pass the amendment. After a few words from Dr. LUSHINGTON, The gallery was cleared for a division, but no division took place, the amendment being agreed to. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. On the Order of the Day for considering the amendments of the Lords to the Scotch Imprisonment for Debt Bill being read, the amendments were agreed to. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Lord DENNIAN took his seat on the Woolsack at 5 o'clock. Lord FARNHAM presented several petitions against the Irish Church Bill. On the motion of Lord DUNCANNON the Grand Juries (Ireland) Bill went through Committee, the Report to be received to-morrow. Lord BROUGHAM presented some Returns frcm the Court of Chancery, which he said showed the perfect working of the Bill for regulating the offices in that Court. Already there was a saving of 51,350/. and eventually they would amount to 100,000/. The Returns were ordered to be printed. LAW INQUIRY. t The Noble and Learned Lord then said he had a - duty to perform towards the Commissioners of Law Inquiry this Session, and as he hoped it was now near a close, he trusted their Lordships would hear with him then for a few minutes. That Commission was appointed in 1833, and they had made two most valuable Reports; and he had never seen such a delicate and laborious task performed with such skill and judicious temperance as they had done. They had proceeded to investigate the matter in all its bearings, and to consider whether it would be advisable to make a digest, first of the Criminal Law; secondly, of the Statute Law; and thirdly, whether it would be possible or advisable to make a Digest of the Common or unwritten Law. He was aware that there was a diversity of opinion upon that point amongst the most eminent lawyers, but he would ear nestly recommend their Lordships to give these Reports their most serious consideration.--( Hear, hear.) It had been said in some place, he would not say where, that all these Commissioners had done, might have been done in three weeks—there was no doubt of it, if they did not care how it was done; but " if 'twere well when 'tic done, then 'twere well it were done quickly," as somebody says.--(Laughter.) Those Commissioners had given up the whole of their time, and they could not have made their Reports in three or four months if they bad not. Those Reports were ably drawn up, and if Noble Lords would attend to those Reports, they would rise from the perusal of them with the same impression on their minds that they had made upon his.—( Hear, hear.) He would abstain from making any motion at that -moment but he begged leave to state that the subject was not new. There was a resolution standing on their Lordships' Journals in favour of that proposition, therefore he was only asking them to re-affirm what they had formerly approved of. He would call the attention of the House to this most important ' subject, at a very early period next session of Parliament. DUBLIN POLICE BILL. Lord DUNCANNON in moving that the House do re solve itself into a Committee on this Bill, stated that he had held communications with the Government in Ireland on the subject of this Bill, and he was authorized to assure their Lordships that the Corporation of Dublin was not interested in any way in this Bill, and that no part of their revenues were taken from them by it.—( Hear, - hear.) He was informed that the present duties of the police were not atttended to in the city of Dublin ; that the Police Force were inadequate to preserve the peace of that city; and that many of them were feeble old men, who were neither able to protect themselves nor the public.—(Crries of " Hear, hear.") This Bill had been approved of by his Majesty's Government, in Ireland who thought it their duty to propose this Bill with a view to preserve the peace of the City of Dublin. If their Lordships thought this Report sufficient he hoped they would resolve themselves into a Committee on the Bill. Lord FARNHAM objected to this Bill being proceeded in at that late period of the Session, and without any commu nication with the authorities of Dublin. He. Lord Farn ham, had received a letter from the Lord Mayor of that city, on Monday, stating that he had never seen the Bill until half an hour before he wrote the letter. He would ask whether it was proper that a measure involving the whole peace of Dublin should be brought to a second reading without the magistracy being made acquainted with it. The Noble Earl concluded by moving that the word "now" be left out, for the purpose of inserting the words "that day three months." Earl WICKLOW roae for the purpose of suggesting to the Noble Viscount the propriety of withdrawing; the Bill for the present session. He did this from a desire that it should not appear that the House rejected Bills that were really in themselves good; but the Bill having been brought forward hastily, and without consultation with the Corporation of Dublin, it was impossible that it could receive that deliberation in the course of the present Session. lie therefore trusted the Noble Viscount would withdraw the Bill. Viscount DUNCANNON did not think that the Noble Earl had shown any reason whatever for withdrawing the Bill. It was acknowledged on all hands - that the police of Dublin was very defective. Earl WICKLOW did not wish to vote upon the Bill ; but if he was compelled, he must vote against it, in order to protect the rights of the Corporation of Dublin. Lord PLUNKET, in supporting the Bill, said that the police of Dublin was in the most shameful state. In going to the four Courts, it was a thousand to one if a person's pocket was not picked before you got there. The manner in which the inquiry had been carried an rendered it impossible to sup pose the Corporation of Dublin must not have been aware of what was going on. He did not think the Corporation of Duolin had any feeling upon the subject. Marl FARNHAM had received a letter from the Lord Mayor of Dublin, stating that there was the strongest objec tion to the Bill. Lord PLUNKETT had no doubt that the pickpockets of Dublin had great objections to the Bill, but what objections the Corporation of Dublin could have to it 134 was at a loss to conjecture. The Duke of WELLINGTON complained that the Cor poration of the City of Dublin, who were charged with the management and conduct of the Police, had not been con sulted upon the measure. The letter which he(the Duke of W. ) had received from the Lord Mayor stated that he had never seen the Bill until that morning, and it was impossible in so short a time to examine its details. The Recorder also stated that he was not in the House when the Bill had been introduced, and had not seen it until be had arrived in Dublin. The Noble Duke then read the letter of the Lord Mayor which set forth, that in a measure so seriously affecting the right and privileges of the Corporation, its members had not been consulted, and that at so late a period of the session it would be impossible to examine its details. Under these cir cumstances, he (the Duke of Wellington) trusted that the Bill would not be persevered in. The Earl of RAD NOR thought it hard that a Bill which was admitted on all hands to be a good one, should be lost on a mere matter of form, and which appeared to him to be an idle matter of form.—( Hear, hear.) The Recorder of Dub lin was in London at the time the Bill was introduced, but the Recorder complained that he was not in the House at the time.--( Hear, hear.) Whether he was in the House or not, he must have seen its published votes, and would have informed the Corporation of Dublin that such measure was under discussion so far as he the Earl of Radnor knew no objections had been stated to the measure nor no petitions presented against Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances, when the state of Dublin was such as had been represented by his Noble and Learned Friend below him, (Lord Plunkett), and when it was admitted on the other side that the Bill was a good one. —( Cries of " No, no.) The Noble Earl opposite had dis tinctly said so, and he thought it would be quite unreasonable, on the ground that the Corporation had not been consulted, to reject the Bill. 'Lord WHARNCLIFFE complained that no notice bad been given to the Magistrates and Corporation of Dublin, whose interests it affected. It was not to be expected their Lordships would assent to the Bill under such circumstances, It was not a mere matter of form. The Corporation ought to have an opportunity of meeting and considering the Biil, otherwise it would be a matter of injustice. Lord HOWARD of EFFINGHAM said the Recorder of Dublin was in town on the day after the Bill had been intro duced, and there was now plenty of time for the Corporation to have objected as no- doubt he had :informed them of the matter. Tlie Marquis of CLANRICARDE said their :Lordships were about to throw out a Bill, not on its merits, for they had not been discussed, but they were going to throw it out be cause certain parties had not been consulted upon it-4 Hear.) Their Lordships were going to throw a stigma upon the Corporation, for surely they were not now charged with the police which was now one of tho worst in Europe ; how ever, even if they were to report against the Bill, was that any reason why their Lordships should not pass the Bill ? Surely at all euants it was none why they should not discuss its merits. If the police was now under the management of the Corporation, he must say that they were the last hands the management of it ought to be continued in he supported the Bill, because in his opinion it would establish a pod police in place of one that was a disgrace to the coun try, and he was certain the very worst in Europe, and surely that was ground enough for going lint° Committee on the Bill. The Marquis of WESTMEATH s:id them were nume rous Acts in existence, some of which gave, and others recognized, the powers of. the Corporation to regulate the police of the . City of Dublin. This was a point not of injury, but of insult to the . Corporation, and he would not support it. He admitted the Bill Wa§ a gaod one, and would I establish a good system of police, but - let proper: notice be given, and if a Bill was introdu ce d ear l y next Session, lice wmild ratAt willingly glue his assent to it. The Earl of LIMERICK opposed the Bill, but was inaudible. . Lord MELBOURNE did net collect from the letter of the Lord Mayor that he iisapprovcd of this Bill. Witi , refer ence to the state of the Dublin police he would state a faci. -He believed that the bash; of the Grand Canal was within the limit of the circular road. In the course of last autumn the Commander of the Forces made a representation of the impropriety of continuing a military detachment to protect the property of the Company. The Lord Lieutenant ordered the soldiers to be removed, and the result was that great depredations wore committed. i The Director of the Canal applied to the Lord Lieutenant, and remonstrated against being left to depend cii the police, and in spite of the representation of the Commander of the forces, the detachment was orde, ed back, and thus the military were doing the duties of the police. Lord WESTMEATH rose to address the House, but was met by loud cries of " order" and " question," and spoke. The Noble Marquis persisted, but-- Lord BROUGHAM rose to order, and moved that the order be read against any Member speaking more than once. —( Tremendous .cheering from the Opposition Peers, vliielt continued for some time.) Lord WICKLOW—If this. had been done at the com mencement of the Session I should have hailed it as the greatest blessing.—(Repeated cheering.) Lord 13R.0 rise to speak to order.—(Great laughter.) If it had been the commencement of the Ses sion, I should never have taken the objection.—(Cheers.) It is because it is the end of the session, and that we have no time for all the business. Before they had very little business to do, and a {cleat deal of time, but now there was a great deal of business, and no time io do it. The Orders of the house were flexible.—(Cheers and laughter.) Lord ASHBURTON thought the Bill ought not to be pressed forward further during the present Session, as the parties most interested had had no proper notice of the Bill. Lord HOLLAND said, that the effect of the Noble Lord'; vote, if in a majority, would be, most undoubtedly, to perpetuate till the next Session, the state - in which the Dublin police at present. He admitted that no laws should be passed, without fair and due notice being to all :his Majesty's subjects-4 Hear, hear.) When however tie looked at this Bill, he found that it had been carried through all its several stages in the usual manner and he should like to know what right any Corporation had to, call upon Parliament to communicate with them. ot.The Earl of HA DDINGTON contended that the Corpo ration of Dublin had a right to state their objections to the Bill. :Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but Viscount DUNCANNON would not give their Lordships the trouble of dividing. The amendment that the Bill be committed that day six months was then put and agreed to. Tile Bill is consequently lost. Lord BROUGHAM then arose to move the consideration of the Commons amendment to the Patent Law Bill, and was left speaking. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. MUNICIPAL CORPORATION BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL appeared at the bar with the Report of the Committee appointed to draw up reasons for a Confc .rence with the Lords upon the Corporations Bill. Having brought it up, he said if the House wished it he would have no objections to have the reasons as set furth by the Com miace read by the Cerk.—(" No, no.") He then moved that they be agreed to, and entered on the journals of the House. After a short conversation across the table between the Noble Lord, Sir E. KNATcircuLL, and Mr. WYNN, the mo tion was agreed to. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved that a message be sent to the House of Lords, desiring a Conference with their Lord ships on the Municipal Reform Bill, which was agreed to ; and the Noble Lord iveiat out to carry the message, followed by nearly two hundred Meinburs. There being no business before the House, Mr. WARBUIZTON begged leave to present a petition from Richard Taylor, one of the Corporation of London, against the amendment of the Corporations Bid iviich made it imperative upon Corporations to sell their Church pa- tronage. Lord J. RUSSELL again appeared at the bar, and said the Lords agreed to hold the Conference desired by the House; to be held presently in Committee-room No. 5. The Conference Committee then withdrew, headed by`,Lorcl J. Russell, carrying the Bill, and business was suspended. After the lapse of an hour, Lord J. RUSSELL again appeared at the bar and said, the managers appointed by that House had held a Conference wi:h the Lord President of the Connell and others; they had delivered to them the reasons drawn up by the Committee,, and had left. the Bill with their Lordships. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the West India merchants of Glasgow, complaining. that one-half of the slaves in the Mauritius had been illegally imported after _the trade had been abolished, and praying for inquiry before any of the compensation-money was awarded to the proprietors in. that island. Sir G. GREY believed that no illegal importation had taken placa after IS2O. There was a clause in the Compen sation Bill which prevented compensation from being,,granted to any one who was proved guilty of illegal traffic in slaves. Inquiry was now going on by Commissioners, from whose de cision an appeal lay to the 'King in Council. The time for appeal had not yet expired, and therefore 11'. could give no in formation upon the subject. Sir J. R. RE ID thanked the Hen. Baronet fur his explana tions, and was glad the Hon. Member for Middlesex had said he was not acqoainied with the facts, for he could assure him that a more unfounded statement had neve been made in a petition to that 11011S3. After a few words from Mr. BOIU. H WICK, the petition was received. The Report of the Committee on the Sessional Addresses 'as then brought up. INSTRUMENTS OF SASINE BILL. The LORD ADVOCATE moved the third reading of the Instroments.of Saline Bill. Mr. sTE WA RT proposed a verbal amendment, the pur port of which did not reach us. The ATTORNE Y-G ENE R AI, thanked his Hon. and Learned Friend the Lord Advocate for passing the Bill during the present ession. Connected with Scotland by representa tion, he felt a lively interest in the meesure, and hoped it would pass the other House. An HON. IVIEmBr,n, whose name we could not ascertain, moved that the House be counted, when there not being forty Members preser.t, the House adjourned at Half-past Seven. ROUSE OF LORDS, SEPTEm.- - a: 3 . IRISH CHURCH BILL• Lord LYNDHURST, on preeJtang a petition, took occa sion to say that he had learned frith much surprise that Minis ters did not intend to vend down to the other House the Irish Church Bill, beoaase they considered it .would not give satis faction to the majority there. He felt himself bound to condemn such conduct, which must necessarily beget very great alarm in the minds of the Protestant population in Ireland, leaving . as it did the whole of the Irish Protestant clergy totally un provided for for another year.—( Hear.) He begged to state that very great responsibility would rest upon the shoulders of those who pursued such a course.—( Cheers.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the Bill which their Lordships had rejected was one eminently calculated to en sure the Irish Church from the dangers which unfortunately now surrounded it.—( Cheers.) If that healing measure had been agreed to, it would have conferred the greatest benefits on that Church. The Noble Duke well knew that some such Bill was necessary. Why, then, say that those who sup ported the Bill were anxious for the destruction of the Church ? It Noble Lords were anxious that the Bill as it now stood should pass into a law, why did not some of them take up the Bill and carry it down, and see bow the other House of Parlia ment would deal with it. He for one could not adopt any otter mode of dealing with the Bill than that taken by the Noble Viscount. The Earl of RODEN nod the Earl of WICKLOW both warmly condemned the conduct of Ministers in stopping the proceedings on the Bill. Lord BROUGHAM—If your Lordships are, I was going to say excited, but I will say moved by the situation in which you now are, I am sorry for you ; I am sorry for the painful feelings you must now experience. But it is not my fault, for just before the division I took leave to state, to lay before you rather fully, the inevitable consequences of coming to that vote which you appeared to me bent upon coming to.— ( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) I feel strongly for you now ; if you had only felt as now at the right time—(hear, bear)_ before you did the deed—(a laugh)—like some other persons in the same situation, you might have avoided it. After doing the deed, persons in this situation are apt to throw blame upon others. By such means they try to appease their con sciences, to quell the remonstrances of their bitter feelings against their past misconduct.--4 Hear.) The attempt never succeeds.—( A laugh.) The Noble Lords recommended his Majesty's Ministers to carry the Bill in its present state to the House of Commons, and to pass it there. It could not be done.—( Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord opposite says as in an answer to the unanswerable statement of the Noble Marquis, and to the question, "Why don't you take up the Bill ?" he says, " Oh, we cannot, but you ought ; it is the duty of a Government to carry through its own measure." My Lords, no man can more fully assent to that p ro p os iti on th an I do; it has my plenary concurrence. It is the duty of any man, and still more of auy Government., to carry through measures that are measures of their own. But they are nut to carry through measures of other people—( Hear, hear)—measures which they disapprove of—( Hear, hear)—of whin they have distinctly stated their disapproval in every stage—of which they. gave notice of their disapproval, and of their intention to act on that disapproval—( Hear, hear)—for not only I as an individual, but my Noble Friends near me, and the Noble Viscount in paitieular, gave you full notice on the subject ; he rose, as I thought needlessly, just as you were going to divide, to that if you came to the vote which he then foresaw, he de clare would not go on with the I3ill. But suppose be were to go on with the Bill—not his own but your measure, a thing changed as some would say a bad i i n n e t a li su e r n e, ur t s a i k n i g n , g m fr u o t n il l at o e n d e , i ;a i r 'e t; fe a e n t d not giving to the other— suppose he Were to go on with it, does any man pretend to say, who has read the 13i11 and seen the clauses which, you have cut out, does any such man pretend to say that the House which passed the reselntion pledging itself to carry both parts at once, and not to separate them, would not at once throw it out ?—( Hear, hear.) This is a matter of substance, but then comes matter of form—for these clauses
