It it ratan+ FRANCE. The Prince President of the Republic on Thursday received a deputation from the Chamber of Commerce of Saint Pierre les Calais, who presented a petition against the Bill at present submitted to the Council of State, for admitting foreign machine made silk lace on pay ment of a duty of 15 per cent. M. d'ilerambault and M. Lefebvre-Hermant, deputies of the depart ment of the Pas-de-Calais in the Legislative Body, and M. Lievin Delhaye, member of the Council- General of Manufactures, also presented petitions to the same effect. The Prince President listened with great attention to the observations made to him, and said he would attentively examine the demands of the manufacturers. By accounts received from Lyons, it appears that the strike among the colliers of the Rive-de-Gier is gradually diminishing. A considerable number of the men have already resumed their work. Accounts from the province of Constantina state that the expeditionary column, which is operating in the circle of Collo, arrived near that town on 10th inst., having since the 21st ult. engaged in several combats in that mountainous region against the Ka byles, led on by the pretended Cherif Bou Sebs. That part of the country had not before been visited by our troops. A number of the tribes have made their submission, but others still remain faithful to Bon Seba. GERMAN Y. The chief provisions of the Marriage Bill, presented on the 12th to the Cha m b er o f D e puties, at Turin , by the Minister of Grace and Justice, are as follow : No marriage shall be valid, unless the male be above eighteen, and the female above fifteen. The impedi ments of marriage among relations are limited to those between ascendants and descendants, brothers and sisters, uncles and nieces, au nts and nephews, and between relations by affinity in the sam e degree; so that cousins may marry, which they could not hitherto without a dispen sation from the PorE. B y the present Bill no dis pensation is admitted for the prohibi te d d egrees of affinity. Banns are n ° longer to be p u bli s h ed b y t h e curates, but by the civi l authorities. Opposition to the banns may be made by the public prosecutor, or by the members of the families interested in the mat ter. Marriages are henc e f orward to b e celebrated before the civil authorities; there is, nevertheless, a provi,don by w hich a subsequent ecclesiastical bene diction is rendered obligatory as a general rule, though the marriage is valid without. This provi sion is intended as a step towards reconciliation with the Court of Rome. A letter from Genoa of the 13th says—" The Vesuvio steamer broughtbere yesterday 91 passengers, amonsst whom are the Countess DE LIGNY, widow of the king of Ihaussie, and 21. 'TRIERS, who leaves this place to-night for Turin. He is to sojourn fcur days there, and then to proceed to Geneva, in the Deighbourheod of which, at Clarens or Vevey, be in• tends to pass the serneter. M. TILLERS' valet fell overboard from the Vesuvio last evening, as the pas sengers were coming on shore, but was immediately rescued, and escaped with a complete ducking." Letters from Darmstadt describe a general alarm caused by the apparition of the traditional "Waite Lady" in the palace a few nights ago, an incident that turns out to be as well founded as most of the many stories of the same kind. The " Lady" i s said to haunt, not only the Schloss of Berlin (her head-quarter=), but all the residences of the fami lies which have contracted alliances with the line of Brandenburg, and her appearance al ways portends the death of one of the race. Two sentries on duty on the present occasion both saw something, and spoke so decidedly of the vision that the Grand Duke ordered a minute inquiry. It turned out that a Captain of the regiment of In fantry In Darmstadt, who has a p ar t men t s i n on e of the wings of the Palace, came to his rooms late, " heated with wine," and, to cool himself, threw off his uniform and took an airy walk up and down the remote corridors in the lightest possible garment. Sentinels are great ghost-seers, and though their ac count of the appearance was a little exaggerated, it had some foundation. The captain had to confess to the midnight walk, which has proved a dear one, for he his been dismissed the service. ITALY. A letter from Italy, in the Augsburg Gazette, gives an account of the political sects now existing in that country; from which it appears that the sects of the Carbonari and the Giovine Italia have been fused into a new sect, bearing the title of United Italy. Like the old sects, its object is the overthrow of all the thrones of Italy, the destruction of foreign influence there, and the union of Italy. It is divided into circles, each composed of 40 members at most, and governed by a President, 4 Coun cillors, and a Master. All the other members are called associates. There are five degrees of circles, viz., the Grand Council, the Circle General, the Provincial Circle, the District, and the Communal Circles. All the members' of the sect are divided into three orders, viz,, Adepts, Presidents, and Coun cillors of Circles, and the Grand Unitarians, or mem bers of the Grand Circle, and Presidents of the Circle General ; the latter alone are in possession of all the secrets relating to the sect, the means of execution, &c. The sect has three secret pass words ; the Adepts know one, the 2d order two, and the Grand Unitarians all three. The Grand Council, being the supreme power in the sect, is composed of seven members. All the associates are bound to implicit obedience to their orders. There are eight Circles-General, viz , at Rome, Turin, Milan, Venice, Florence, Naples, Palermo, and Cagliari. As for the provincial and district circles, they exer cise their authority in the territorial circumscrip tions as they now stand. The members contribute pecuniary aid according to their means. Part of the receipts goes to cover the expenses of each circle, the remainder is remitted to the Grand Circle. Each associate has the right of proposing candidates ; these are chiefly sought for among the military. Every candidate is subjected to a severe examination, and takes a particular oath. Every three months, lists of the members are sent to the Grand Circle, containing in cypher, every possible information concerning them. POST-OFFICE NOTICE.

The Duke cf NEWCASTLE presented petitions from the Australian colonies against the transportation of convicts to Van Diemen's Land. The Noble Duke read the petitions at length, but said ho would refrain for the present from making any remarks upon them.. The Earl of DESART denied that the colonies had any right to complain of the conduct of the mother country on this subject. Tho number of convicts had been greatly lessened within the last few years, and to show the readiness which was evinced by the colonists to obtain convict-labour the Noble Lord read a letter which he had received from , Hobart Town in January of this year, describing the manner in which a convict ship on its arrival in pert was besieged by persons anxious to hire the convicts. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Mr. Richard Spry, complaining that he had been arrested for debt while coming down to their Lordships' House to attend before the Committee on the London Necropo lis Company- The case divided into two parts—ono affecting Mr. Spry as is witness, and the other affecting m g h as t to party. ithor regard to his being a witness, he their Lordships that Mr. Spry was not process or su mmons o f th e i r L or d s hip s ' attendingho o i bfeyl i am y p W House, but voluntarily and of his own accord. Lord CAMPBELL sun as'ed that a Committee be appointed to search for pieccderta. Lord BROUGAAM acid there were precedents with out end on the subject, but he had no objection to the appointment of a Com m i ttee, or to refer the whole peti-• tion to the Committee. The petition was then ordered to be referred to a Select Committee. NAVY PAY BILL The Duke NO RTHUMBERLAND moved the sec which he explained was to effect an alteration in the mo d e o f pay i ng o ff s hi ps. Lord MINTO approved o f th e Bill. After a few words from Lord WALDEGRANE the rpeaudkieng of of ' Le Bi l l , Bill was read a second time. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL.

LAND SALES IN AUSTRALIA. d_idoss"emd,"wP when the The Duke of ARGYLL presented a petition from the car ried constitutedeeislatieveed Legislative Council of New South Wales. That body A er ss th em e hAlyctofof that body o a d i y id i h t y w a a u s i raafjbr majority, Lordships. In ()lonial. recall the circumstances under which it was or -ty. In order to explain the petition ho 1842, two Acts were Noble Earl (Derby) was at the head office—respecting land in this colony. sot' O phf: : rt e hill;ele o du f : t hem, the Land Sales Act, provided that land sa les should take place only under that Act, and that no public land should be sold at less than 20s, per acre. Out of the gross p rocee d s o f t h e sa l e, wh i c h were to b e a pplied generall y to the purposes of the colony, one-half w as to go towards defraying the expenses of emigration. Another Bill, which had also been introduced by the Noble Earl, conferred on the colony of New tenth Wales a Legislative Assembly, two-thirds of the members of which were to be elected, and one-third nomin ate d b y the C rown, and its powers of legislation extended to all subjects, except one parti cular class, for which the assent of the Crown was reserved. Th a t was the state of the law up to 1850, b w r h o e u n g h t the forwardbl e anE a A r l e , t t h a e l t n e r fug considerably fhe powers of the New , S outh Wales Legislature, and establishing legislative councils in the other Australian colonies also. The Powers of the New South Wal es L e gislature were co nsiderably , increased by this Act, particularly in refer ence to tne reservation of assent or dissent to tho mea sures Colonial Legislature, which had hitherto heenmof the aintained in favour of the Imperial executive at home. All the salaries of officers, with reference to prospective appointments, might be altered, except those of the Governor or judges, and the amount reserved for religious purposes was also not to be touched. But in Customs duties the colony was empow e r e d to hele might be deemed necessary, provid e d tm vy at a t l e i r S O such ch as the y were not prohioitory duties against the mother country, or contrary to treaties entered into by the Im perial executive with foreign countries. Further, the Legislature might alter the whole constitution, and in stead of one, establish two Legislative Chambers, both of which might be elective. From whatever cause, however—whether from the change of views on the part of the colonists, the wishes of tho home Govern meet were not realized in reference to these alterations; and the Legislative Council, which was elected under the Act of 1842, drew up the petition which he hod now the honour to present to their Lordships, and which petition the Legislative Council elected under the Act of 1850 had adopted. The Noble Duke here read the pe tition, which was to the effect that the Council declared it a duty they owed to themselves and to posterity to record their deep dissatisthction with the constitution of the 14th of Victoria, c. 7G. They were dissatisfied with the administration of the waste lands, and of the reve nues generally of the colony, and they found, to their great regret, that the land schedules were increased in stead of being abolished. As the last act of their legis lative existence, no other course was left sto them than to protest against the Imperial policy; to declare and remons t ra te against in and to enter that protest and de claration upon five grounds. Th e y d ec lared, first, that the Imperial Parliament had no power to tax the people of New South Wales, or to appropriate their revenues; but that all taxation should be made by the Colonial Legislature; next, that the revenues arising from the public lends, of which her Majesty wed trustee, could only be appropriated to the use of the colony; thirdly, that the Customs, and other branches of revenue, should bo subject to the same control ; fourthly, that the action of the Legislative Council should not be fettered by interference with the Parliament at home; and fifthly, that no Colonial Bills should be reserved for the sanction of her Majesty, unless such as affected her crown and dignity. h conclusion, they declared they were prepared, it intrusted with their own lands and re venues, to provide for all the expenses of the colony, ex , elusive only of the Governor's salary. He (the Duke of Argyll) wa s ignorant of the reasons which had induced the colonists to intrust biro with the petition for presen tation to their Lordships, particularly as he had not been present in their Lordships, House when the Act of 1850 was passed. However, he considered he was bound to present it, and to state how far he concurred in, or dis agreed with , the statements of the petitioners. One of the main complaints of the petitioners was the reserva tions made in favour of the Imperial Government with reference to the salaries of the judges and other officers of the colonial Governm ent , but he could not think the ground of complaint e , was quite just in this respect; for the principle which had always been acted upon both in this country and the color in matters of that kind, when an alteration Was proposed, was that existing i n t er ests should be protected, and with regard to the the salaries f lodges, they were to be for life, and that the judges , should be rai s ed abo ve an y in fluences which a legislature might bring to bear upon them by means of lowering or raising their salaries. It had been stated that the instructions which the Noble Earl who was Colonial Secretary at that time had sent out to the Governor of the colony with the Act of 185 0 had had the effect of nullifying its provisions; but he found that in respect to the salaries the Noble Earl's in structions were that the Governor should withhold his assent to any Bill altering the existing salaries of officers of the Executive then holding office, but that the Go vernment did not mean i : to refuse its assent to any pros pective regaionsons with regard to salaries which the council might com e to. With reference to the first ground mentioned in the Petition as that on which they pro tested against the Imperial . colony— via., olic towards the co via., that the Imperial parliament bad no power to tax the colonists or appropriate their revenues, he presumed the petitioners found e d their complaint on the prin ciple of the celebrated statute, the 18th of George 111., which declared th at the home Government should not levy taxes on any colony for the purposes of the Impe rial Government, a n d so far he agreed with the peti titioners ; but lie could not agree with them in their se cond statement, that the revenue derived from the sale of the public la n d, was to be regarded in the same light as tho revenue derived from taxation. The real ques tion for consideration was the manner in which the inte rests of the c o l on _ y could be best provided for in the dis posal of the land found. As to the general principle laid down in their second statement by the petitioners, he could not assent to it ; but ho must say that opinion was much div ided as to the effect which the price of land as fixed by the Act of 1842 had produced on the co. bony ; the general opinion in the colony being that it had proved i -Dilations, and for his own part he was not sure that it would not be advisable to give up to the colony the management of the waste lands, fixing, at the same time, the geographical limits within which that management should be exercised. With reference to the Customs he thought they ought to be at the disposal of the colonial authorities. The fifth statement, however, was the most important—viz., that no Bills should be reserved from the Le g:slative Council for the signification of her Majesty's assent, except those which affected the prerogative of the Crown and the general interests of the empire. There could be but two modes of effecting that object; one was to draw up a list of the subjects affecting Impe rial interests, which the colonial legislature should be prohibited by Act of Parliament from legislating upon; the other was to retain a general power of allowance or d isall owance of col on i a l acts for the home executive, as at present, I n the discussions on the A c t o f 1850 this_ e subject had been much debated, and the former mode was mo for was strongly urged upon the Government of the Govern ment adoption, but the Noble Lord at the head of tie? .n that at that time (Lord J. Russell) was of opinion that to draw it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible,a not quite up such a list. He (the Duke of Argyll)te w N s oble Lord; sure that he concurred in that view of the k that it was but, at the same time, he could hardly think retane a great ca use of grievance that this power was i d he could not by the n om , Government.. However, help being struck with the t on e of d ss atisfaction and irritation which perva d e d the petition, the the wisdom, .of the policy w hich d and he doubted reten tion of Crown nominees a mongst the members o f the Legisl a ti ve Counc il. Whenever any question o f mother country, arose having re ference to the . y, arose in th e Council, t h e y always e found the s alerted members on on e s id e a nd the nominated members on the • other, and th a t a ll the weight of public opuIWU ever went with the elected members. This very petition had been carried in the Legislative Council by a majority o 21 to 8; in the minority there was not one elected mem ber—they were all nominees, and all except one held official situations; whilst in the majority of 21 against the Government there were besides the elected members two o the nominated members who did not hold any office under Government, and those contained names of the a lost wealthy and respectable men in the colony. He would lay the petition, then, on their Lordships' table, convinced it would receive their attentive consideration; feeling, also, that their sole desire in the matter was to adopt such measures as might be most conducive to the interests of these great communities which were arising in 'those southern lands. They knew that the true inte rests of this country would not be promoted by any mea sures which were contrary to the interests of these colo nies, and it appeared to him that all parties in this country were agreed as to the main principles on which they should proceed in their colonial policy. They ought to leave the colonies to manage their own local questions, and limit as much as possible the number of cases in which the exercise of the prerogative of the Crown, in negativing the decisions of the colonial legislatures was brought into question. Earl GREY said the petition afforded a remarkable proof of how little the parties signing it were acquainted with the facts to which it referred. In the first place it complained that the patronage of the colony had been reserved by all governments for their own coltish pur poses; but, speaking for himself, during the five years he had held the office of Colonial Secretary, as far as he remembered, he had appointed one gentleman only to an office in New South Wales, and that was as keeper of the Botanic Gardens, the governor of the colony having represented that there was not a scientific gardener to be found in the colony, and requested him (Earl Grey) to send oat one.—(Bear, and a laugh.) The fact was, that the patronage was in the hands of the governor, subject to the approval of the Secretary of State—a regulation which he thought was absolutely necessary for the purpose of preventing abuse. With regard to the Customs, the patronage had up to a late period been retained, not by the Secretary of State, but by the Treasury; and generally the offices were filled up from home; it was, however, one out of many of the good effects of the commercial policy of recent years that, having removed those restrictions, it became no longer requisite to maintain the machinery by which those restrictions had been enforced. And since the alteration which had taken place in the navigation-laws all control over the Customs department in the colony had been transferred to the local Government. Of course all the measures of the governor were subjected to the supervision of the Secretary of State, but practi cally the appointment of Customs officers was entrusted to the governor of the colony, precisely the same as the appointment of other officers. Upon the question of the management of waste lands, nothing was more common than to hear it slid that the management ought to be vested in the colonial Legislature; but that was not a function for a legislative body at all; it was a duty for the executive Government to perform. What the Le gislature had to do was to lay down certain general rules with regard to the mode in which the public lands were to be disposed of, and it was for the Executive to apply those rules. As to New South Wales, Parliament had laid, down those rules by the Act of 1842, which was passed on the recommendation of the Noble Earl oppo site (the Earl of Derby), and was one of the best and most uselul measures ever adopted in reference to our colonial empire. It laid down clear and definite rules for the management of the waste lands in the colonies, and HI those rules to bo applied by the executive Go vernments, and he held that in taking this step Parlia ment did that which was perfectly just and reesonable. The only nefect in that Act was, he thought, that it did not fix en upset price for land; but that had since been remedied, aid now the great pastoral interests of ,Aus tralia were benefited by the occupation of land upon favourable terms for grazing purposes, whilst at the same time the lend was not allowed to be inclosed by in dividuals before it had been actually used by them, nut left free to the public to be purchased as it was wanted for use. So far as the feelings of the colonists were concerned, he did not believe they desired that the exist ing system should be altered, because, in looking over the addresses of the various candidates who had offered themselves to the electors as members of the new Legis lative Council of the colony of Victoria, he observed that a very large majority of them professed their determi nation not to concur in a reduction of the upset, price for land. These matters involved principles of the highest importance, and he begged their Lordships not to be hastily led away by popular cries for what was called " sell-government." There was no greater advocate for selftgovernment than he was; but he did not believe that self-government ought to mean that we should throw all power into the hands of an utterly unbalanced democracy.—(Hear, hear.) Ile would further • add, that many of the principles put forward by the peti tioners were really inconsistent with the maintenance of the British colonial empire. --(Cries of "Hear, heart") He knew that many persons sincerely entertained the opinion that it would be for the interest of this country, and of the colonies themselves, if the connexion between i them were dissolved; but that was an opi n ion from which he totally and entirely differed. He believed it was for the best interests of both that the British empire should bo maintained as it was—that the power and greatness of that empire, and of every separate member of it, should be preserved; but, if we were to continue a united ti empire—it the British empire was to be maintained — lt was obvious that the Imperial Government must exer cise some authority over the colonial legislatures. Lord WODEHOHSE said that, with regard to the the management of the waste lands, he agreed w Noble Duke (Argyll) in what he had said upon h sub ject rather than with his Noble Friend (Earl the Gre ) He fully admitted that the administration of waste lany. ds was a matter of Imperial concern, and that nothing could be more absurd than to sup-me that, when persons from thi n c ountry setticd_tilmwseerleves upon a forthwith great continent like Australia, they were entire waste to assume the a d m inistration of lands of that con ti nen t. On the other hand, however, , there was a p o i n t at which a colony might arrive, ht fairly demand when, amongst oth e r matters, they might from the Imp e ri a l G over nment to have a larger shar e in the management of the waste lands; and it was pos sible that the colony of New South at that point when it would e Wales had arrived d es irable to give its b local legislature the management of those lands within certain fixed limits. With regard to that portion of th e petition which related to the ve to of the Crown upon measures which had passed th© colonial legislature that was undoubtedly a difficult an to define the subjects upon which the d delicate matter to deal with; but h© thou was easy easy' - might legislat e , an d should c g o h lo t n i i t a w l c that the consent of the Imperi_al Government be necessary in all case where the Royal prerogative or Im perial interests were conceriiie:l_h table. • The petition was laid up on ._ THE BARONESS VON BECK, Lord BEAUMONT, i n moving for a copy o f the justice of th e peas© in formation taken on oath h b ie e h for s e , the warrant to app re h en d Wilh e l m i n a Von at Birmingham, " which and Constant Der r a w as issued, said that since the last occasion o n w hi c h under their Lordships' notice, case he brought this he had had communications with several persons - con cerningd that all those communications atit, and uts Smith,lle then made to their Lord confirmed the the barrister who was em amongst other things, he stated that he p sh lo j a p •e s. d fMorrihTe°purosecution, had written him a very long letter, in which , did not advise that a „ warrant should b e t a k en out— ,were his words.

The motion was then agreed to. BARON DE BODE'S CLAIM. Earl FITZ WILLIAM moved for an account of the entire sum awarded to the uponclairnants of, the the French names Compensation Fund, distinguishing rho sums claimed by, and the sums awarded to, the several c laimants, by virtue respectively of the statute 59th Gee. lIL, cap. 31, and the Treasury minutes of the 2d of May, 1826, and of the Bth of June, 1830, and of the 15th of March, 183 3 . Also an acco unt of the sum remain ing in hand after payment of the la st award, and of the manner in which such sum has been appropriated. The Earl of DERBY was understood to say that the the Woods and money was • temporarily applied to Fo rests. It was afterwards returned, and applied to the settlement of the demands of the claimants.r The whole sum had, he believed, been thus app priated. He did not think that there was any of . th money remaining. He had not, of course, any objection to the information asked for by the Noble Earl being produced. The motion was then agreed to.

The Earl of MALMESBURY—AII I think necessary or convenient to say at presentur g reat powers of Europe. That protocol being, ho is, that such a protocol has been signed by thew ev ' er, the basis of negotiation s I which are still pending, do not think it would be con. venient to produce the papers. MR. SPRY'S PETITION. In reference to tbis petition, which had been presented at an early part of the evening, Lord BROUGHAM expressed his dissatifaction at th e mode in which the subject-matter of that petition was treated. Instead of appointing a Select Committee, to search for precedents, he was of opinion that the party who had been arrested on his way to that House, ought to be examined at the bar of the House. Lord TRURO said that the rule was that in the case of a witness being arrested while proceeding to any of the courts of law, or to that House, with a view of giving his evidence, such person was immediately ordered to be discharged. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it certainly ap peared to him to be a cue for bringing the parties to the bar. That House had decidedly the power of dis charging from custody persons arrested under these cir cumstances. In the present case all they had to do was to inquire whether the statement made was in every re- spect correct, and that the party was really procee..lier; to that Home for the purpose of prosecuting his interest as a suitor when he was arres:ed. The order for the appointment of a Select Committee was niti nuae ly discharged, and upn the motion of e, Lord BROUGHAM, the sheriff's officer order to titterad that douse with the prieper forthwith' JUNE 19, 1852. On clause 80, The Passengers Act Amendment Bill, the Trustees Act Extension Bill, and the Suitors in Chancery Relief Bill were severally passed through Committee. The Enfranchisement of Copyholds Bill and the Mi litia Bill, were severally reported, with amendments. The Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Bill and the Scutch &tills for Flax (Ireland) Bill were severally read a third time and passed. The Poor-law Commission Continuance (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. The Marquis of WESTMEATH presented two peti tions; the one from the Lord Mayor and ex-Lord Mayor of Dublin and a large body of the citizens of that city, and . the other f rom the poor-law guardians in Carrick on.-Sbannon, in Ireland, praying for a system of repro ductive employment in the Irish workhouses. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 18. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) NISI PRIUS OFFICERS BILL. This Bill went through Committee. COMMON LAW PROCEDURE BILL. The House went into Consreittee on this Bill, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL s a id t h e Bi ll contained a clause to the effect that when a person r es idi ng out of the jurisdiction of the court was served with nutic; he might be proceeded against in the ordinary way. He had given a pledge to the Attorney-General for Ireland aid the Lord Advocate for Scotland to make an ex ception in regard to those two countries, and he pro posed to insert an amendment of that nature. The amendment was thou proposed and agreed to. On clauses 51 and 52, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (in reply to M r. Crowder) said he agreed that special demurrers were a disgrace to the profession and ought to be abolished, and e would have no objection to consider the subject, an d draw up a clause, with the assistance of the Hon. and Learned Member, with the view ot meeting the evil. Mr. WHITESIDE admitted that the system of de aurrers had given rise to great abuses, but he thought i t would be very inconvenient to do away with them a Itogether. After a short discussion the clauses were agreed to N pith some amendments. Mr. CROWDER said he would endeavour to draw t ip a clause on the point adverted to. The early clauses of th© Bill were agreed to after ;ome discussion. Mr. EVANS moved, as au amendment, that the words 1 rout the word " time," in the 21st line, as far as tho 'word " and," in the 28tti line, be omitted. The Committee divided, when the numbers wore— For the amendment Against it ... Ljority 56 -33 The clause, aver a slight verbal alteration proposed by the Attorney-Genera, was then agreed to. (,:lauses up to IS2 icein,livo wore ihen agreed to. ATTORNEY-GENERAL, considering the 123 d cluatse to be entirely useless, would therefore strike it out altogether. T h 6 remaining clauses were then agreed to. The ATTORNEY-GE2 , IERAL then said that there was another clause which he had been pressed to intro duce,. The object of this clau,.Ac was that counsel should appe sr on application for a suit in forma pauperis, and that costs should not be recoverable uuless the judge de cide( l the action to be of such a nature as to require it. Tl , ,e clause was then agreed to, the House resumed, and ;he CHAIRMAN reported progress. kI:V 3T ER IN CHANCERY ABOLITION (RE- T IRING PENSION TO VICE-CHANCELLOR) I3ILL. ¶1 'ho report on this Bill was then brought up and rigs .?ed to. PA :CENT LAW AMENDMENT (STAMP DUTIES) BILL. 'The report cn this Bill was &so agreed to. METROPOLIS WA TER SUPPLY BILL. This Bill as amended was considered, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Rouse then rose a Quarter to Four o'clock. The House resumed at Six o'clock. PETITIONS. Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented a petition from a number of Dissenting ministers, complaining that no clause had been introduced into the Metropolitan Burial Bill providing for compensation in cases where Dissent ing burial-ground s are abolished by that Bill. Mr. HINDLEy presented a petition against the Bill. Mr. CAYLEY presented a petition from the coal miners of Lancashire, praying for an increased number of mine in.spectors. THE FACTORY ACT. Mr. EDWARDS asked if the Government have any i Mention, daring the next sessioa of Parliament, to re s tore the clauses in any amended Factory Bill which in 1.847 prohibited tho employment of young persons and f emales for more than ten hours in any day, or for more t han 58 hours in any week? and will they be prep%.red I, o add a clause to prevent the employment of children Iliefore six o'clock in the morning, and after half-past live o'clock in the evening? Alr. WALPOLE said the Government had not at Are s ent any intention of bringing in a Bill; but as he ima- Oned the question was rather put with reference to r ecent infractions of the law, he would add, that it was t heir intention to enforce the law, and if they found it ci)uld not properly be enforced through some defect, to is ttroduce any amendment necessary for the purpose of re 'moving it. CRIMINAL LAW. Mr. CROWDEitiosi;lC;a;kthe Secretary of State fc T the Home Department whether he had received any a pplieutions in favour of William Hamblyn Pascoe, a n tedical practitioner, sentenced to ten years' trensporta- V.on at the last Cornwall Assizes, for administering s evin with intent . to procure ab or ti on; an d w h et h er h e 'as aware that the opinion of th e on ly me di ca l w it nes: , fi n. the prosecution, that no medical man of competent a kill would use satin unless his object were nbortiov,had b een shown to be erroneo u s b y a large b o d y o f t h e me d ical profession,. and h s d beets admitted by the witness h. inaself; 81 , 11C0 the tri a l, t o h ave b een expresse d i n ig n,aranceof the fact that satin is in use in the profession for legitimate purposes; and whether it was the iuten ti en of her Majesty's Government to advise a pardon or al ay mitigation of the sentence? Mr. WAL . L'OLE said sev era l a ppli ca ti ons h a d b een re t ceived in favour of the prisoner, and the greatest at tv mien had been paid to t h em on account of the re st actability of the parties. Unquestionably the medical practitioner, who gave the evidence to the effect that sioi rte was only used to p rocure a b ort i on, gave i t un d er m am, erroneous impression. But the Hon. and Learned G ontleman would draw a very w r ong i n f erence f rom t hi s ac (mission if he inferred that the case was not sufficient to support a verdict of guilty. And as the circum st antes of the case had made a great stir, he wished to. say that according to his investigation of the facts proved (and ho had gone into the case most carefully), ho had no hesitation in expressing his own conviction that the prisoner was guilty of the offence. H, must have known the condition of the female—be had her in his own house daring the administration of th a drug—he had given doses of fourteen grains at a to ne every day for more than a fortnight—the child Wt ;5 born in his house, and carried by hun for secret burial without the knowledge of any parties; indeed he (Mr. Walpole) considered that this amply justified the co uvictioia.—(liear.) It was not, theretore,:his inten tion to advise the Crown to grant a pardon or commuta tion of the sentence.—(Hear, hear.) He must add, that th ese cases gave great anxiety to tiny one who filled th a office he had the honour to hold—(Hear, hear) — an though ho had given . an answer on this occasion be cause it had made a great stir, he hoped that Hon. M embers would not press such inquiries on future occa sions. —(Hear, hear.) AGRICULTURAL MANURE. Mr. CAYLEY rose to ask the Chancellor of the Ex chequer-1. Whether the question as to the territorial right over the Lobos Islands had been laid before the present, or late, or what law officers of the Crown, and in what year? 2. And, if there be an etiquette against making public the answer given by the law officers, whether there is an equal objection to producing the caw) laid before such law officers, with a view to satis fying the agricultural public of this country that every means have been taken to give them the great advantage of a cheaper supply of guano. 3. If the present law officers have not been consulted on this important ques tion, whether there is,any objection to consult them ? Lord STANLEY said, the question more properly came under the cognizance of the Foreign- office. On the first part of the case, involving the question of ter ritorial right, a case had been laid before the Crown counsel in 1834. It was not usual to produce the opinions of the law officers of the Government; and as to the case laid before them, it consisted only of the correspondence which would be presented that evening, and printed. There had seemed no reason to doubt, after that opinion, that the Government of Peru had territorial rights over the islands, and the law officers of the Crown had not recently been consulted on the subject. Yfr. SCOTT rose to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether her Majesty's Government h a v e applied, or intend to apply, to the Peruvian or other Governments interested therein, to enter into ar rangements for the purpose of obtaining for British ships free acc ess t o p l aces supplying guano? Also, wnether any instructions have been given to colonial go vernors and officers of her Majesty's navy to look out for islands or other places containing guano, and take any practicable steps towards securing to the public, at the cheapest ra t e, an ample supply of that article free from adulteration; and whether there is any objection to lay upon the table any papers relating to that subject? Lord STANLEY said ho fully recognised thegeroema..t interest and importance of the question; and .severalnuovern munioations had been addresse , d h t e o rt t o he w P it e h ru n v o i t a inti.ch. , nw: ment on the subject, though hi. i he s 4 u t I p ° p petition. butcess h . e b He el ie d v i d e undervaluedntohtebest means t theutility co irlaos e io _f rif „ r ot ly of guano was by resorting to the Psnwnore sent out period instructions were for9:•ti °leer ail their t A n t th tl e )e a p d r ra c i s r e a n ia t and efforts to dis stationia directing them to , r tl e s s e, supp ly of guano could cover localities whence rt other a instructions were sent to be procured. and 6 f" ;e0 understood the Noble Lord, : t ilun the correspondence he had colonial goveraers. co_.?„. c - tlt to hear distinctly.)

THE REV. MR. BENNETT. On the motion that the House at its rising do adjourn till Monday, Mr. HORSMAN said he should detain the Hotise. but a few minutes; but considering the interest they had ; felt in th e case o f the Rev. Mr. Bennett, and the well. , advised decision to which they had come, he conce ived it to be his duty at the earliest moment to state the course ho proposed to adopt. It would be better to do that than to let the motion for a Committee, and the motions connected with it, to stand on the votes night after night, so as to make it appear that the subject was about to die a natural death, and that the interest which it had excited had abated. Since the vote to which the House had come he must say - that the interest had not abated but rather increased, nor did he find, in the opinion of the majority who came to that vote, anything but a desire to give effect to it. The House would feel the difficulty he had to deal with in nominating a Com mittee so late in the session. It was not his tault that the discussion bud come on at so late a. period of the session. He first brought forward the subject in the mouth of April. Seven weeks elat sed, owing to circum stances over which he had no control. The decision of the House was taken on the Bth June, late at night, it being a Tuesday. On Wednesday he was in the House at twelvo o'clock, and actively employed to get gentlemen to serve on the Committee. He obtained the names of thirteen gentlemen that day. The name of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford was placed on the Committee without his permission being asked, as it was considered that he had acted as the authorised advocate of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and if ho refused his consent it was thought that his reasons for doing so should be stated to the House. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member for the city of Oxford would not consent to serve; but as it was then nearly six o'clock, and it was important that the Committee should be nominated that day, he (Mr- Horaman) asked him to allow his name to remain, 01 1 the understanding that it would be withdrawn before any evidence was taken and another name substituted. Fourteen Members agreed to serve; two of whom were struck out, and others substituted by the Government. He stated this in order to show that every pains had been taken to nominate the Committee. On the Thurs day, when ho moved for the Committee, a difficulty was started by the Right Honourable Gentleman the Home Secretary, who said this was too grave an inquiry to be conducted by an imperfect Committee., Ho (Mr. Horsman) did not find fault with him for it; but, while the matter was proceeding, an Honourable and Gallant Member, who was a friend of Mr. Bennett broke up the discussion, by moving the- ad journment of the House. On the Monday, he completed the list to the number of 15. In nominating the Com mittee, he had found no difficulty made on the Inert of the Government, though they had opposed the inquiry, spoken against it, and divided against it; bat, when the decision went against there, there was no disposition on their part to impede the nomination of the Committee. But a difficulty wag interposed by the Right Eon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford. He proposed that after the Committee had been Dominated that he (Mr. llors man) should be ordered by the House to lay on the table certain articles or heads of charges. The Government was ready to allow him to proceed with the nomination of the Committee provided there was not to be a long debate, which he (Mr. Horsman) did not propose, hu V the Right Hon. Gentleman told the House that he should not only propose an amendment, but that he should make a long speech, and the House made its arrange ments accordingly. The Government in the state of public business declined to give way; as there were 35 orders on the papers the discussion must have come on 50 late in the evening that it would have been impossible to nominate the Committee. It was his duty to exelsia why be had not agreed to the suggestion of the Right Hon. Gentleman, which would have enabled him to have had th e C omm i ttee appointed.—(Hoar, hear.) Ile felt that he, as an individual Member of the House, had no right or power to do so. There was no precedent for laying on the table heads or articles of charges in a c io ase where no impeachment was intended. Th e Right Hon. Gentleman would not deny that except in cases or an s precedeunt peachment avowed and intended there wa did the propomuon for such a course. In that case what of the Right Hon. Gentleman amount to but that the motion had been made and the decision of the Bishop of of the majority m given, with a view to the imp construction of the motion he Bath and Wells? That e disregarded, but had no right to commit the 1 56 gentlem(Mr. Horsman) might h ave e n w ho composed the m a j or ity to the fact that they intended He had the the impeachment of Bishop of Bath a nd Wells. no right to do so w i t h ou t their co ncurrence. He believed th a t o f the • :ty not one who voted in the majority 156 Members w i s h e d the Bish o p to be impeached, and it would have been unjust for him, in his individual capacity, to commit them to such a course. S o far as he was per sonally co ncerned, the drawing up heads of impeach ment would have very much facilitated his object. In' d ee d, after the Right Hon. Gentleman suggested that course he did draw thew up, and had it been the plea sure of the HOllBB he should have immediately them, but he felt that he could not do so without the concurrence of those who voted with him. Another reason why he did not do so was that it would in his opinion have est a bli s h e d a b ad precedent. If i t h a d mace been settled that a complaint was not to be made against a bishop without being followed by impeachment the re sult would have been most injurious; and if in the next Perliament a Member had brought a complaint against the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Exeter, or any other prelate ho might have been stopped at once by an inquiry whether ho meant to propose an impeachment. He had told the Right Honourable Gentleman that whatever might be the decision of the House, he would cheerfully assent to it; but, considering the state of public business, considering that there was 0 0 , probability that he would hav e th e opportunity or nominating his Committee within to the difficulties the next thties ree or four days , and having g tee ard also which had been thrown in his way, he did not feel it his duty to move the nomination of the Committee.—(Hear , hear.) But in making that announcement, he felt that he owed some explanation to the Hon. Gentlemen who had voted for inquiry, as regarded the false position in which they Were placed with regard to the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The House wo u ld reco llect that he stated the B ow delayed the prooeetibge of the Ff 149117.
