The anniversary dinner of this excellent Institution took Place yesterday evening, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, W. J. DENISON, Esq., M.P., one of the Vice-Presi dents of the Charity, took the Chair. The attendance was atnnerous and respectable. After the toasts of " The King," " The Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family," had been drank with the usual honours, The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, the next toast is one Which requires from me neither introduction nor comment. It is " The Army and Navy of the United Kingdom."—( Hear. ) You must all recollect that while one branch of the service had not left an enemy to conquer at Trafalgar, the other branch had succeeded in defeating the man who had previously con quered all Europe.--(Cheers.) The toast was drank with much applause. The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he had to propose was the health of a Noble Friend of his, who filled the high and h onourable station of Lord Lieutenant of the County of Sur tey. No man, he believed, was more sincerely devoted to the mterests of Charity than that. Nobleman.—( Cheers.) And there was no man whose character stood more deservedly high In public estimation—" Lord Arden."—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said that, having drank these toa s t s , t o w hi c h t hey were prompted equally by loyalty, duty, and affection, he Would now call their attention more especially to the object Which had assembled them that evening. In so doing he would not trespass more than a few minutes on their time, as he was sure that its interests must be imvessed on the heart of every gentleman whom he had the henour of addressing. It was to Promote the prosperity of the Surrey Dispensary, that for now nearly half a century had dispensed its blessings to all those u nfortunate individuals whose circumstances rendered such in stitutions so necessary and valuable. There was no saying, as t he wheel of fortune turned round, how soon the highest might be fallen, or the richest become poor. They were all aware of the care, attention, skill, and assiduity with which these Poor citizens were fostered and restored to health by the rlatn medi skill of the gentlemen c o nn ec t e d w ith thi s I nst it u ti on . H e he that at present th e tr easurer owe d a l arge d e bt, b u t !e had strong hopes that after the list of subscriptions was e .uanded in, th a t d e bt wou ld no t on ly b e li qu id a t e d, b u t a l arge N.ance would remain for the benefit of the Charity. He Would now give them, " Prosperity to the Surrey Dispen liary."—( Applause.) The report of the number of tients relieved, was then read b y Dr. WHITING, by which it appeared that within the last sear 4,404 patients had been relieved by the Dispensary, and esta blishmenttiet there were at p resen t 338 on th e b oo k s . Si nce the o f t h e i nst i tut i on, not l ess than 184,262 pat i ents had been relieved.—(Cheers.) The next toast was, " Lord Middleton and the other Pre sidents of the Charity."—( Cheers. ) e The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he should give them was th" Healths of Major Beauelerk and Captain Alsager, the Members for East Surrey."—( Cheers.) A letter from Major s eatielerk had just been put into his hands, trusting that they 'Would excuse his att en d ance as h e was extremely ill— " he had b een for four hours on a Committ ee i n t h at v il e b ole Great George-street—(A ~, laugh)—and was quite ex h aus t e d." Th e Chairman added that Major Beauelerk had enclosed 51. t o wards the Charity.—Cheers.) The Rev. Dr. KENNY begged to give them a toast, which 7e Was sure would be warmly received. It was the Members O : ? 1 ' West Surrey, which their Chairman was modestly about to „ t er, and to give the health of his Hon. Colleague alone.— meat%) Neither he (Mr. Kenny) nor any other gentleman P r esent required to know whether or not their excellent Chair tear, and his Colleague agreed or differed upon certain politi el points--it was enough that they both concurred in the Nat object of relieving the distresses and miseries of their suffering fellow-creatures.—( Cheers.) He heed not ask for 4 renger evidence upon this point than the fact that last year N„ " 1 ". Barclay had subscribed 501. to the Charity, and this year their excellent Chairman had contributed a munificent dona- L ioll of the same amount.—(Great cheering.) Whatever might become of other topics or other measures, this was one ,1, 11 °se merits would endure throughout everlasting ages, when ' Political differences were blotted away.—( Cheers.) This ta gs n ,, 0. cause in which they were all assembled, not the service "la! any sect or party, but in that of their Great Common e 'ather.—( Cheers. ) " Messrs Denison and Barclay, the Members for West arrey."—( Applause.) Ole CHAIRMAN lamented extremely that his excellent col ague and neighbour was got present, because he was sure th e Would have rece i ve d w ith th a t gratitude which it deserved 'e warm and cordial manner in which his name had been re ttiVed. He lamented it also because they would have received ulore suitable return in the eloquence of that Hon. Gentle- Zila Phan any thing he could presume to offer them. It was Zell known that he (Mr. Denison) and his colleague differed Von some political points, but there were other and higher po ints on which they did agree—(Cheers)—and he trusted t he only r i va l ry t h a t s h ou ld eve r exist between them, would b e " Q ,° should best promote the cause of charity and humanity. k A'Oplause.)

Another match between Mr. Bloodsworth and Mr. Groom took place at the enclosure at the back of the Red House Tavern, Bat tersea-fields. The match was for 501. aside ; twenty-one yards distance.

Of their first twenty-five birds Mr. Bloodsworth killed twenty-one, and 31r. Groom sixteen ; of the next twenty-five Mr. Bloodsworth killed twenty-two, and Mr. Groom twenty-four. Mr. Bloodsworth was, of course, the victor by three birds. Betting was good at 10 to 4on the gun , an d a t starting 5 to 4 on M r . Bloodsworth. GREAT TROTTING MATCH. The long-anticipated and so-much-talked-of performance of one hundred miles in ten hours and a half took place yesterday on Sun bury Common. It is a task which few has had the courage to un dertake ; but it have been accomplished by the celebrated American trotter, Tom Thumb, in ten hours and eight minutes. The stakes, on thiskoccasion, were 5001. from Sir. Dixon, the proprietor of the mare, and 1,0001. of Mr. Whitechurch's aga i ns t the performance. It had been originally agreed that the match shLuld commence at two o'clock yesterday morning, but it was determined to take ad vantage of the coolness of the night air, and the parties met accord ingly on Tuesday evening at the George, in the lane leading to the Common. At ten o'clock, Stacey, a horse dealer at Kingston, jumped into the beautiful machine which the mare was to draw. It was in every respect similar to that used by Mr. Osbaldeston, and started as the clock struck, taking five miles out across the Common to Staines, and then returning. The first ten miles occupied 58 minutes and a half, and the next ten miles a quarter of a minute sooner. The mare was then taken out, her mouth washed, and some gruel and brandy offered to her, which she refused to drink. Seven minutes were occupied in this change. She completed her next ten miles in 61 minutes, and took but 57 minutes in trotting the succeeding length. She was again taker, out, and appeared as fresh as at starting. She was apparently just getting on her mettle, and drank her allowance of gruel off as though nothing had hap pened. This change was well managed, and occupied but three minutes and a half. Off she went again, and completed the dis tance in 63 minutes. This was evidently a draw, but no money was sported, although some of the " right ones" were present. Pre cisely the same tune was taken for the next distance. Sixty miles had at this time been completed, yet there were no symptoms of distress apparent in the mare. On her being put to again she per formed the ten miles in one minute less than the hour, and the suc ceeding (making the 80th) in half a minute less. The sun was getting in full power when the mare started for her last twenty miles. In the first ten she gained two minutes on the hour, and followed it up by completing the next ten in the same time, thus winning the wager by nearly a quarter of an hour. But few persons were present, and betting appeared absolutely out of the question. There was considerable apathy on the part of the bystanders until the 70th mile, when the vehicle was accompanied by horsemen gal loping to encourage the mare. She is certainly a beautiful animal, stands fifteen hands high, is six years old, and nearly thorough-bred. She was well managed. The report of the indisposition of Sir Oswald Mosley is unfounded. SPIRIT LICENSES. —It appears from an account ordered by the House to be printed the 4th inst., that throughout the United Kingdom the number of new licenses issued under the provisions of the Act is 2,025 ; of those renewed at the increased rate of duty, the number is 7P,9 1, giving a total of 82,006. The amount of the increased duty is 3,799/. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It will be Sell by sitar extract from the Supplement to the 6aette of Tuesday night, that the promised intervention in the affairs of Spain is confined to the simple suspension of the Foreign Enlistment Bill, which is neither, in fact, intervention nor " co-opera. tion," the more acceptable word at the Court of Madrid, but a leave and license to British subjects to enlist iii the service of the Queen of Spain if they please, and to receive whatever may be the stipulated pay or reward for their services—if they can get it. For our own part, being of opinion that the Foreign Enlistment Bill ought never to have existed, we are not disposed to quarrel with the order for its suspen sion ; or if we are, it is because it is only suspended when it ought to be absolutely and for ever repealed. The Foreign Enlistment Act was originally passed in violation of the spirit and letter of our free Constitu tion, and, we firmly believe, under the inspiration of the despots of the Continent. If we mistake not, the Act, as it exists on the Statute-book at present, was originally passed to prevent British subjects en listing in the service of the Spanish Cortes, and now it is suspended, and perhaps will be repealed, to promote the enlistment of British subjects in . favour of what is called the liberal cause, which it was enacted to oppose. Thus does the English Government stul tify itself by intermeddling in the internal affairs of foreign nations, instead of attending to its proper busi ness. What right has the Government, in a time of peace, to prevent British subjects from entering into what foreign service they please ? As long as the power of the State is not lent to a Foreign Govern ment, no other Government has a right to complain of British interference, because individusls choose on their own responsibility to enter into foreign service. The Foreign Enlistment Bill, we again assert, was dic tated by foreign influence, and is wholly incompatible with the genius of the British Constitution. But why suspend the Foreign Enlistment Act for one side of the question, and not for the other? Why not allow British subjects to enlist for the Queen or Don Carlos, according to their taste—their principles or their views of their own personal advantage—for, since the age of chivalry has past, we are of opinion that a sense of personal advantage has more to do with the promo tion of even liberal principles than any generous dis interestedness of sentiment. Why not repeal the Foreign Enlistment Act altogether? Why preserve on our Statute-book, to be restored to its persecuting vi gour after the lapse of two years, this relic and memo rial of the northern barbarian influence, too much ex ercised over the councils of this country, whether con ducted by Whigs or Tories, from the day of the over throw of Napoleon's empire to the destruction of Poland. But is this one-sided suspension of the Foreign Enlistment Act the sort of intervention which the Spanish Government, in its extremity, has a right to expect of England, as its share in the stipulated assistance of the quadruple alliance ? Surely, after sending a British fleet in conjunction with a French one to terrify the Dutch King, and assist the cause of the subservient son-in-law of Louis Philip, something more might have been done for the imploring Govern ment of Madrid than merely giving permission to Bri • tish subjects to enlist in its service. if this be an armed intervention it must be allowed to be a very cowardly and sneaking sort of intervention ; but it is quite in keeping with the evasive and shuffling policy of the modern Whigs, willing to wound, but yet afraid to strike. The " juvenile Whig " of the Foreign Office wishes to keep well with the juste milieu party at Madrid, but dare not offend Russia—Russia which is under lasting obliga tions to him for his conduct in reference to the Polish cause. We ventured to predict, from the moment that an armed intervention was demanded by the Court of Madrid of the Governments of France and England, that such intervention would not be granted, and cer tainly Louis Philip will not be inclined to surpass our Cabinet in courage or zeal for the succour of the Spanish Queen. He knows well the sentiments of the absolute Powers on this subject, and he is too anxious to obtain their favour by all sorts of fantastic acts of despotism in his own dominions, to be very chivalrous In the support of liberal principles in any other land.—Morning Herald. It will be seen from the supplement to the London Gazette of Wednesday, which we transfer to our columns this day, that Lord Palmerston has determined to pur sue the same honourable course, with respect to the civil war so long carried on in the northern provinces of Spain, which his Lordship previously adopted in the case of Portugal. It seems from this that direct intervention is no longer centemplated.—Morn. Post. In the Times of Wednesday we brought before our readers the provisions of the quadripartite treaty be tween Great Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal, and of the additional articles rendered necessary by the progress of events in the Biscayan provinces. For some time past it appears to have been discovered, that the additional articles, in merely stipulating that France should prohibit direct assistance to the Carlists across, the Pyrenees, that England should administer a quali fied assistance in the shape of arms and stores to the Constitutionalists by the northern maritime frontier, and that Portugal should lend such indefinite succour a s might he within her means, and might be afterwards required and agreed upon—it has been, we say, appa rent that in so stipulating, the contracting parties had undervalued the emergencies which were in prepara tion. Whether from the bad policy of the Queen of Spain's Government in suffering the insurgents to choose their own field of action, where every natural advantage has been on their side—or from, perhaps, the still more profound impolicy, of attempting to annihilate their immemorial privileges, and inspire the whole population of four provinces with that ab horrence of the new system, which has expressed itself by a general eagerness to fight for the Pretender, and against the Queen ; or lastly, from gross inca pacity on the part of the Christinos Generals--a cause which would seem improbable, when we regard the succession of officers of considerable reputation, from Rodil to Valdez, who have been intrusted with the command—it is unquestionable that the war has be come gradually more unfavourable to the cause of the Infant Sovereign—or at least that no progress what ever has been made towards a general defeat of the Carlist force, and a pacification of the country. Most persons have latterly, therefore, been inclined to think, that without military reinforcements from France, England, or Portugal, Don Carlos would speedily show himself in a condition to march upon Madrid, and proclaim himself King of Spain. The funded securities of the Queen's Government have partaken so deeply of this impression, as to experience a fall of more than 50 per cent., and the French press, and the political circles of Paris, have all been manifest ing the same persuasion, that without some strong and immediate military effort by the French Government, Louis Philippe in his domestic policy would soon be relieved from the embarrassment of having a limited monarch for his neighbour. We are not acquainted with the motives which may have induced the King of France to witness patiently, or passively at least, the decline of the Queen's cause so near his southern fron tier. Plain it is, of course, that the quadipartite treaty, or its supplement, conferred no power of direct active interference by the march of troops beyond the French territory ; but it would be too much to affirm that no such right existed, independently of that treaty, in a case of close neighbourhood, and on the assumption that aid had been formally required by Isabella, or still more that the treaty had in any respect impaired or superseded the pre-existing right. That England should interpose, otherwise than by friendly counsels, to prevent any expedition for the relief of Spain by Louis Philippe, and for the defeat of Don Carlos, is not to be seriously apprehended : at the same time the arguments against such a measure, drawn as well from the nature of the war as from the temper of the Spanish people, are quite decisive of its im policy, save only under circumstances of extreme and urgent need. The insurrection evidently has not spread beyond those provinces which felt a commercial and fiscal interest - in the maintenance of their own ancient privileges, which has rendered it, strictly speaking, a war of liberty to them. But if a French army enters Spain, to rake up the old e mbers of distrust and national hatred towards the French Go vernment and people, it appears to us that the Car list troops would no longer be in want of recruits from Arragon, from Catalonia, the Asturias, and other .....-- Y. ; aye 0 0 ' - , 4 ommisS Sever't !n took Ordshiro Church' le Rau' to Pr e i jority 0 TGS• _Sea ° I ReP" i. tntrodue- cling 0 Glasew ates• • Kling a mates' to Le form a. ;e s of the ; polio< s? cl. on3 oo- , nts Of °7 . for ;ty, vote, f°l. or any v oting , Lbbon or :past forfeit- P 6d. nieatiori creased, teaseero Isnoutib I Live" week ; xe also e times ,r, and m ,nt Af r ' whic h v oter. v io net to th e xl Me to vers should The hiC il i g the Dt l " Wel . eldrib m THE SUN, LONDON, ittnii.V, YVVE 121 northern provinces, while - a general Sense Of. the in di rmitv thus offered to the ki n gd om would shake th€ attachment even, of the central and south-eastern pro winces to the Qtteeil producing on one side a senti ment of contempt for her cause, On the other a revul sion in favour of the old rhapsodical Constitution 61 1820, and plunging the country into a state of dis cord and anarchy, which it might cost the life of a whole generation to compose. The London Ga zette of last night attempts, we see, ,to cut this complex difficulty. Without recurring to the qua dripartite treaty, or inviting diplomatic discussions from any quarter, the British Government simply puts in force the King's prerogative to exempt his subjects from the operation of the Foreign Enlist ment Bill, 59 George 111., and to enable any Eng lishman, who may be so inclined, to enter the service of Her Catholic Majesty by virtue of a general license here officially promulgated. It is presumed, no doubt, that an influx of individual volunteers, acting immediately under orders of the Spanish Government, accepting commissions, and receiving pay therefrom, will have no such bad effect of exciting jealousy among the Spaniards as might have been anticipated from a collective body of foreigners, and those foreigners Frenchmen, operating independently of the Queen's commands, and by direct orders from Paris. We are not sure, however, that thl same eagerness for the service of thg, imbecile Madrid Government, and for the ovgthrow of the brave mountaineers of Navarre and Biscay, prevails amongst our countrymen, as was evinced in the civil war of Portugal against the per jured Usurper Miguel. The title of Carlos may not be sound, but it would be wicked to think for a mo ment of placing him on the same level with his vile Portuguese brother. Report says that Lieutenant- Colonel Evans, M.P. for Westminster, is likely to avail himself of the authority in last night's Gazette, by entering the Spanish service. Colonel Evans is, we believe, a gallant officer, and would be useful to any army in the field, but we can say nothing about the authenticity of the above rumour. Since these ob servations were written, we have been informed that General Alava will be authorised to raise without de lay, a legion of 10,000 men for the service of the Con stitutional Government of Spain. Our informant adds, "that a distinguished British officer has consented to take the command, and that advertisements will shortly appear, inviting tenders for the necessary accoutre ments, Sec.—Times.

IPSWICH, THURSDAY, 9 A M.—The Tories, driven to desperation, have determined to use their utmost en - deavours to carry the approaching election. The steps they have taken show this determination. Mr. Dundas, one of the unseated Members, entered the borough yesterday, and intro duced, as one of the candidates, Mr. William Holmes, the notorious Ex-Whipper-in of the Boroughmongerin g Parlia ment. The other candidate announced is a Major Broke. a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood. Messrs. Morrison and Wason also entered the town yesterday evening—they were met two or three miles from the town by an immense multitude, and received with the greatest enthusiasm. The Emperor of Austria has recently abolished the tax called the " Jews' meat-duty," and has expressed his in tention of investigating such other taxes as may press too heavily upon the Jewish population, with a view of equalizing the taxes of his Christian and Jewish subjects. A letter from Cracow of the 27th ult., says that General Dembinski, brother of the well-known Polish General, has been poisoned. It appears however, that the fatal potion was accidentally administered, SUDDEN DEATII.—One of the postillions of the Marquis of Downshire, while riding before his master in , the Brentford-road, suddenly drew up his horses, and in forming the Marquis that ho was very ill, almost instantly expired. CHICHESTER.--Some one has said " the better part of valour is discretion." The Lenoxes seem to think that discretion may go as the love-sick maid in the song says of pru dence " with its teaching and preaching to Jericho." They are for appearing valorous. They will however take little, as the lawyers say, by their attack on Mr. Cobbett in the house ; for the Hampnet poor house concern is quite enough to blast the bill under which its proceedings are had in the estimation of all thinking men. It may be something to the Duke, but it is nothing to the public, whether he has or has not induced the Guardians to lay out 3,0001. on his house. The case is, that the Guardians of the parishes united in the Hampnet union are inclined to lay out 3,000/. in enlarging the present house, of which they have but a thirty year's lease ; instead of laying out about 5,000/. in the purchase of a freehold property which will always belong to the parishes for the benefit and reception of the paupers. —Brighton Guardian. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—The following dreadful accident occurred about twelve o'clock yesterday to a labour ing man named Samuel Allan. It appears that the above un fortunate man was employed by the parish of St. Mary-le bone, in watering the roads, and was dragging one of the watering trucks (in company with a man named Williams), along Lisson-grove North, when they were met by a loaded waggon, belonging to Messrs. Currie, the distillers, of Blooms bury. By some unfortunate circumstance which cannot be correctly ascertained at the present moment, the unfortunate man stumbled, at the very instant the waggon was passing, and fell between the wheels, the off-side hind of which passed directly over his head, and his brains were consequently scattered about the road. So instantaneously did the accident occur that had it been possible to have stopped the waggon in the sixtieth part of a second, it could not have been avoided— consequently not the least blame attaches to the driver. The unfortunate deceased, who did not exist a moment after the accident occurred, was taken up and conveyed to the Lisson grove Dispensary, where his body now lies, awaiting the Coroner's Inquisition. We are sorry to add that he has left a widow and two children (in the most indigent circumstances) to lament his loss. DESPERATE AFFRAY.--Yesterday afternoon, be tween three and four o'clock, a scene of the greatest uproar and confusion took place in Oxford-street. It appears that a man named Drewitt, residing in Ogle-street, and who is the proprietor of a van, was proceeding in the vehicle, accompanied by his man Bailey, with a quantity of household furniture which he had just brought from the Edgeware-road, and was about to deliver it at the house, No. 20, Woodstock-street, when he came in contact with another carriage of a similar construction, and in consequence thereof a disturbance ensued between the two drivers, each of whom considered the other in fault, and accordingly both vacated their seats in order to settle the affair by a pugilistic encounter in the road ; at this moment a constable of the D division, who was on duty on the spot, sprang forward and insisted on their departing quietly, which, however, they refused to do, and in less than a minute upwards of 500 persons formed a ring, the greater part of whom were fellows of a ruffianly description, belonging to cabs, omnibuses, and hackney-coaches. The constable above alluded to then drew his staff, but had no sooner done so than he was attacked in all directions by the mob, who lashed him over the head and body with whips, and pelted him with va rious missiles. A strong body of the force quickly came up, many of the tradespeople in the vicinity of Woodstock-street having by this time deemed it necessary, for security's sake, to close their shutters, when a most terrific conflict ensued , the police, who all along exercised the most praiseworthy for bearance, now deemed it necessary to stand no longer parley ing with the ringleaders, but at once take them into custody ; their determination, however, no sooner became apparent to the blackguard fraternity assembled, than missiles of every de scription were hurled at their heads, and many of them (par ticularly a constable named James) received many severe cuts and bruises ; in the midst of the battle Lord Petre chanced to be walking up Oxford-street, and, learning what was the mat ter, forced his way through the crowd, accompanied by one or two tradesmen (who till that time seemed afraid to interfere), and seizing hold of Drewitt by the collar, dragged him away. Bailey and Brooks were also, after a most determined resist ance, secured, and all three conveyed to the station-house, where they were locked up. Three or four of the constables sustained much injury, but his Lordship, we are happy to say, escaped unhurt. z( _ ---".

A message from the House of Commons, headed by Mr. S. Lefevre, stated that the House of Commons had applied 8,000,0001. from the Consolidated Fund for the expenses of the current year. Several other messages from the House of Commons were brought up, stating that that House had agreed to several pri vate Bills, and praying their Lordships' concurrence therein. AFFAIRS OF CANADA. The Earl of ABERDEEN gave notice that he would move to-morrow for a copy of the Commission appointing the Earl of Gosford Commander-in-Chief of Canada. SAVINGS' BANKS. The Marquis of SALISBURY, after alluding to a recent case in Hertfordshire, where the Trustees and Managers of a Savings Bank had incurred a loss of 10,0001., and the deposi tors much more, from the loose state of the laws relating to those institutions, said, the trustees received no remuneration, and they ought not, therefore, to be liable to actions of all kinds whenever any loss occurred—he wished to know whe ther the Government would bring in any measure to remedy the defects of the present law. Viscount MELBOURNE said he perfectly knew of the case alluded to ; but yet he must say that he did not think that one case was enough to justify. an alteration in the present law.—( Hear.) He thought that a public discussion of the matter would tend much to the benefit of the whole. The Government would consider the subject, but he could not pledge himself to the introduction of any specific measure. Lord BROUGHAM thought it highly desirable that the gentlemen who now acted as trustees should not be unjustly alarmed. He would strongly press upon the Government to take the subject, which was of great importance, into immediate and serious consideration. The Duke of RICHMOND alluded to an instance of the same kind, of defalcation in Northampton, and was sure that if some alteration of the law was made, many of the trustees in whom the public had the most confidence, would immediately withdraw their names. The Marquis of L AND SDOWNE said a few words which were inaudible in the gallery. Lord DENMAN said the question was one of very great importance, and therefore he trusted to be allowed to make one observation. The trustees might withdraw their names, but -he did not know that by so doing they would purge themselves of their liability—the money was paid in under the sanction of their names, and it would be a very grave question whether they could be allowed to go out by merely withdrawing their names. The Marquis of SALISBURY explained, and the subject dropped. The Earl of WESTMORELAND presented a petition from the county of Northimpton, praying their Lordships not to agree to any measure by which Church property would be alienated from its original purposes. The Noble Earl warmly supported the prayer of the petition ; the petition was read at length by the Clerk. Lord BROUG HAM presented a petition from the three denominations of Dissenters within twelve miles of London against any new grant for the further endowment of the Church of Scotland. Also one from Kendal, praying for the repeal of the tax upon newspapers. Lord BROUGHAM wished to know from the Secretary of State of the Colonial Department, whether certain persons, who had been taken prisoners for piracy, and who had been se nt to the Mauritius were taken proper care of, and whether had been taken to procure their release. any ste } 3. Viscount f% LBO URN E said that in the absence of the Noble Secretary for the Colonies, he could not answer the question . BROUGHAM thought Noble Lord at the head Lord of the Colonial Department had been in his place. CORN LAWS. Earl FIT ZWILLI AM presented a petition froi: Auch termuchty, praying for an alteration in the Corn La:7 . The Noble Earl, in presenting the petition, stated that he was convinced the mercantile interests of the country could never be permanently maintained by the laws, as they stood, upon the subject. The Earl of MA LM E SB UR Y opposed the petition. After some observations from Lord Brougham, the Earl of Malmesbury in explanation, and the Earl of Fitzwil liam, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. IRISH POOR LAWS. Lord CARBER Y wished to know from the Noble Viscount opposite when his Majesty's Government expected to be enabled to lay the report of the Irish Poor Law Commissioners upon the table of the House. Viscount MELBOURNE said that the inquiry was one of great importance, and had taken place in a country where poor laws did not exist ; it, therefore, was to be expected that it would take up some time. He had, however, reason to be - lieve that the report would shortly be presented ; and as to the measure founded upon it, most certainly that would be intro duced by the Government. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. SUNDAY TRAVELLING. On the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill, The Bishop of HEREFORD rose to propose an amend ment, which was negatived in Committee by a majority of one, but which it was considered ought to be again submitted to the decision of their Lordships. The clause went to prevent locomotive engines travelling by the railway on Sundays. Much as he lamented the desecration of the Sabbath, it was not on that ground that he proposed the amendment. He knew that if he did, the answer would be that he was legislat ing partially, and not generally. The clause was founded on a breach of an engagement which the Company had entered into with a large number of the landholders, and which by this Bill it was now sought to set aside. Some years back these landholders opposed the formation of the railway, and that op position was given up only on the express undertaking that no travelling should take place on the Sundays. Notwithstand ing, this arrangement, the Company attempted to use their en gines on Sundays, but on application being made to the Court of Chancery, an injunction was issued against them. It was to be observed that the engines were not used on Sundays for any purpose of traffic, but for mere excursions of pleasure. When the engagement was entered into Mr. Bacon Gray, one of the proprietors, was anxious that the company should be bound down not to convey, by the railway which ran through his premises, either coals or other fuel of an offensive descrip tion, but this restriction he consented to withdraw, on the Company contracting not to use their engines on Sundays. The Proprietors who were influenced by a desire to see the Sabbath properly observed, complained of a breach of con tract, and pressed for the introduction of a limitation clause into the Bill then before the House. Many petitions had been presented against it, and it was proved that during the three Sundays when the locomotive engines were employed, the greatest disturbance was created by the numerous parties which hired them for excursions of pleasure. Mr. Bacon Gray, among others, had signed an agreement which was now interpreted against him, but he thought that that would not weigh with their Lordships against the facts stated in evi dence, and the feelings expressed in the peation which had been presented. The amendment which lie had to propose . was, that in the last line of the 13th page of the after the words. " the same is thereby repealed," should be in serted " except so far as relates to the use thereof on the Lord's day." Lord WALLACE said that of sixty miles of this railway fifty-nine miles belonged to those parties, who, instead of op posing, supported the railway, so that a breach of faith with the landholders was entirely out of the question. As to Mr. Gray's individual case, he agreed that the former Bill of 1829, was pazsed upon the strength of an engagement between the Company and certain proprietors; but Mr. Gray, for his part of the agreement, obtained from the Company no less a sum than 3,000/.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Gray had no ground, then, for complaining of a breach of agreement. The contract with him related to the general withdrawal of his opposition, and to the conveyance of coals on the railway. Was he now at li berty to propose the introduction of this clause, and deny to the Company the liberty of opposing it ?—(Hear). True it was that at the end of the agreement it was stated, for the purpose of preventing any future misconstruction, that Mr. Gray should not be precluded, by the conditions he had entered into, from proposing the insertion of a clause relating to Sunday tra velling, but that it was in the power of any other Gentleman, and equally in the power of the Company, to oppose it. Another Gentleman, Mr. Graham, was one of the supporters of this clause, and also a shareholder in the Company, but he did not see the consistency of these two characters, or bow he could as one necessarily bound to promote the interests of the Company, take those steps which could only injure those interests. As the supporters of the clause and the Company were on equal ground, the only question that remained for de cision was as to the expediency of making a partial enact ment in favour of the stricter observance of the Lord's day, instead of viewing the subject broadly, and legislating upon it generally. For his part he saw no objection to excursions of pleasure on the Lord's day, especially when they were the excursions of those who for the other six days had been liv ing in a smoky, unhealthy atmosphere. Let their Lordships reflect on the life led by those who were condemned to an un wholesome trade, and , a confined residence in a dirty town, and then say whether they would deny to those men a little relaxation, were it only to recruit their injured health, upon that day on which alone they could make use of any oppor tunity presented to them. —( Cheers.) The proposed clause would, moreover, draw an invidious distinction between the rich and the poor, and their Lordships well knew there was no reason for aggravating the animosity which already ex isted on the part of the lower against the higher classes of society. The Earl of RODEN having presented a numerously signed petition from Newcastle, on the subject of the obser vance of the Lord's Day, begged to make a few remarks. Mr. Bacon Gray's case he admitted had fallen to the ground, but Mr. Graham, it was evident, only looked at the subject in that general view which was taken of it by a very large class of society, the religious party. Mr. Graham was anxious to keep up the Sunday schools in his neighbourhood, and to pre vent a greater demoralization than already existed. In this he was justified, and accordingly he (Earl Roden) should give his vote for the amendment of the Right Reverend Prelate. The Duke of RICHMOND said that Mr. Graham made no opposition when the Bill war before the other House, although due notice was then given to him. The clause would prevent travelling by locomotive engines, but not tra velling by horses and carriages, and he begged to ask whether the use of the former was a greater desecration of the Sabbath than the use of the latter?—(Hear, hear.) As to the inha bitants flocking to the railways during the three Sundays was not that the; be infinitely bettel . the railway than sit drip::: Noble Lords prohib f it or a • effect of a very natural curiosity ? Would it not ltahievulrizbourer to take an excursion by ing in a public - house? And would r travelling by the railway on Sunday while they allowed him ( - I'.l l e Duke of Richmond) to travel on the turnpike-road with four pos.-horses ? The pass ing this clause would not prevent Sunday travelling on the railway, but only oblige the Company to employ more men to take care of the horses and carriages which on the Sabbath were substituted for locomotive engines. Lord WH A RNCLIFFE opposed the introduction of the clause, as he thought it would tend to prevent the town me chanics from enjoying on the Sabbath that innocent recreation and relaxation which was so necessary to the preservation of their health. The Bishop of LONDON said that if their Lordships were inclined to follow up the principle of the Noble Lord who had just sat down, it would then become their duty, and the duty of the country at large, to best-ow more pains and expense in increasing the number of stage coaches than in providing for the erection of additional churchei'. The principle on which the House ought to act was, to enecurage the people in those amusements that did not interfere wit;; their religious duties. The purpose for which the Creator, in hi; mercy and wisdom, had given the Sabbath to man certainly vsx not to deprive the mechanic of that innocent recreation which was as neces sary to his bodily strength as that rest which ha‘2 been provi ded for the better part of the moral engine of whi t zh it stood so much in need after its daily exertions. No complafizt had as yet come from the poorer classes of Newcastle and Carlisle of any want of recreation on the Lord's-day. This rail•road would pass through a quiet line of country, and witnesses Nati proved that it was not necessary for any purposes of commerce 7, but still, from its novelty, from the extraordinary velocity of the engines to run on it, it would give a great impulse to the in habitants of the district, and cause large assemblages of peo ple at various points on that day, when they were unencum bered by the cares of business. This, he hoped, would be considered before the House rejected the clause, which had for its object to oppose obstacles in the way of any neglect of the duties of the Sabbath. He had often stated his deep sense of the example set by the rich travelling on the Lord's Day.. He lived on the road between London and Newmarket, and he never should neglect to rise in his place to lift up his voice at the awful profanation which took place on that road by the traveling of the higher classes on the Lord's Day, and to expose their culpability in thus setting such an example to the poor. The amendment having been put, the House divided, and the numbers were— __ Contents Non-contents 4O Majority —2l The amendment was consequently lost. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. HIGF/WAYS BILL. The Duke of RICHMOND, in moving the first reading of the Highways Bill, gave notice that ho should, on Monday next, move that it be read a second time, and that it be re ferred to a Select Committee. The House then adjourned at twenty minutes past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 11. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a quarter past 4 o'clock. BOLTON BOROUGH AND KERRY COUNTY ELECTIONS. The orders for constdering the Petitions complaining of undue elections at these places were severally read and dis charged, no parties appearing in either of the said cases. ENNIS ELECTION. Sir R.

WRIT FOR HULL. _ .• _ _ Mr. BAINES moved for a new writ for the town of Hull, in the room of Mr. Carruthers, deceased. SCOTTISH CHURCH. _ _ Several petitions from Scotland were presented both in fa vour of and against the grant to the National Scotch Church, by Mr. Gillon, Mr. S. Rice, Colonel Sharpe, Captain Wemyss, Sir Andrew Agnew, Mr. Spiers, Sir George Clarke, Mr. R. Stewart, and other Hon. Members. Mr. WILK S presented a petition from the Clerk of the "eace of Bolton, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, com that his salary is only 20/. a year, while .he duties were e i cep zively heavy. Also, a petition from several .tongre gations of Proi::stant Dissenters, in and around the metropolis. of the three classes, :zrainst further grants to the Presbyterian Scotch National Chur.:h• The Honourable Member re minded the House of tho extensive liberality of the. Protestant Dissenters in proviaing places of worship and education for the poor in this .2:untry ; and that the Protestant Dissenters of Scotland bad erected upwards of 700 places of worship there during the last century There was no very great difference in theological opinions: between the Protestant Dissenters ana the Established Church, but they dissented upon the princ:;oles of religious. liberty, which would not allow the public to lie taxed for the I;enefit of one particular sect, and while that syste.N was colt tinned, they felt it their duty to continue to protest ag:tinst it. Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition, signed by eearly 2,000 persons of his own name, residing in Inverness, and Isle of Skye, praying for increased accommodation in the., Church of Scotland. Lord BRUDEN ELL presented a petition from Kettering,. complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for a repeal of the Malt Tax. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND presented a petition from Keighley, signed by one thousand five hundred persons, praying for inquiry into the case of the Dorchester labourers. in order that a mitigation of their sentence might be effected. CATHOLIC OATHS. Mr. 0. GORE presented a petition from Oswestry, praying that the revenues of the Established Church might not be appro priated to any other than Protestant purposes, and also praying the House to place further restrictions on Catholic Members than the oaths they now took. Mr. O'BRIEN supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. SHE IL defended the conduct of the Roman Catholic Members of the House, and complained of the attacks that had been made against them. The parties who thought the oath of so little avail ought, and he challenged them, to bring in a Bill declaratory of its meaning. Sir R. BATE SON said that had he been a Roman Ca tholic, and had taken such an oath as they did, he could not conscientiously have given such a vote as they had done upon the question of the Irish Church. Mr. FINN opposed the petition. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE thought the oath ought to be erased from the Statute-Book. If the question was again brought forward, he should consider it his duty to state his opinions upon the • subject openly and fearlessly, without any consideration of party. He called upon the Honourable Member for Kerry to bring forward any accusation he might have against him, and he would answer it.—(Cheers.) Was he to be taunted in this way every time he stood up to address the House ?—( Hear, hear. ) He would meet any charge that could be brought forward, and was most anxious that it should be fairly made and openly met. Mr. O'CONNELL—Did the Honourable Member the justice to say that when he brought forward his motion he did so in language most courteous to those who differed from him in religious opinions, and in reference to the solemn ob ligation of an oath, which he (Mr. O'Connell) took in the sense already described ; and had the House come to any other decision upon the meaning of that oath, he would have ;iemained beyond that bar as be had done for years before. No did not admire the theology of the Hon. Member for London'TY, who might be a very good country gentleman, but no theologian ; he had insinuated perjury to the Catholics, blit the petition decfc;‘.'d the question at once, for it protested against the Catholio availing himself of any privilege to weaken the Protestant religion. Did they consider the right of voting in this H ou se a privilege? Or were reve nues and religion synonymoii., ? (Hear, hear.) Would the Protestant religion be at an end ; if the entire revenues of the Protestant Church were taken away ? He knew there was no connection between Catholic religion and ;;Lie Revenue ; but the distinction upon which he stood was, that revenues were not religion, and religion not revenues. He would not vote for cutting down the 39 articles to 19 as the Ameri cans had ; that was their own affair ; but when they came to revenues he must tell them that the revenues encumbered their religion. If the Hon. Members who were opposed to his sentiments did not bring in a Bill upon this subject, he would do so himself. Lord JOHN RUSSELL recommended that a discussion of this sort should be closed. Mr. ORMSBY GORE regretted that any petition should be brought forward by him which militated against the re commendation of the Noble Lord. He had various estates in Ireland ; and he could state, that he never made any distinc tion between the Protestant and Catholic tenant. Mr. O'CONNELL explained; and after a few words from Mr. D. ROCHE, the petition was laid on the table. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. JACKSON wished to know from the Hon. Member for Dublin, whether he meant to bring forward the alleged breach of privilege of which he had given notice, respecting the petition which had been signed against the return of Mr.. G. S. Barry as Member for the County of Cork ? Mi. O'CONNELL—I do not mean to bring it forward. (Hear, hear.) ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. In answer to a question from Colonel SIBTIIORP, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave notice of his inten tion to move for leave to bring in a Bill fo; regulating the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts. He thought it would meet with general approbation to take away the juriviiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts in matters respecting tithes and tithe suits. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. Sir R. PEEL wished to put a question to the Noble Lord opposite. A statement had gone forth with respect to the Eccle siastical Commission, which he believed to be erroneous, and the question he wished to ask the Noble Lord was whether any practical alteration had been made in the terms of this Com mission, except the mere substitution of the names of those who were then in office for the names of those gentlemen who were at present in office. He wished to know whether any alteration had been made in the scope and object of the Com mission? Lord JOHN RUSSELL assured the Right Hon. Bart. that no alteration had been made in the scope and object of the Commission. The only alteration that had been made was, that for the name of the Right Hon. Baronet and the others who held offices under the Crown, the names of those had been substituted who now held similar offices. REGIUM DONUM. Sir ROBERT BATE SON wished to know whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Government to bring in a Bill • ti
