NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (Frnm the Hampshire Telegraph. ) Powrsmot:Tß, MAY 30.—Thc Sapphire, 28, Captain Row ley, sailed on Thurday for Malta, touching at Falmouth for a mail. Mr. Saunders, Consul, and Captain Gibson, Royal Marine Artillery, &c., take a passage to Malta in this ship. We learn from an officer who arrived from Alexandria a few days since that the fleet of the Paella of Egypt mishits of seven sail of the line, all large two-decked ships, with a com plete tier of guns on their spar decks; six frigates, with complete tier of guns on their spar decks; six corvettes, and six brigs. Three ships of the line and a frigate are building, one of them is planked up, and the others are in frame. With the exception of those building, the whole had proceeded to Candia, where they were to rendezvous, in order to escape the plague. His naval force bas lately been reinforced by a steam-ship of the largest size, and pro pelled by engines of unrivalled excellence and power. The Tweed, 20 guns, Commander T. Maitland, and the Clio, 18. Commander W. Richardson, will go out of har bour in about ten days. A Commissariat and Military Madical Establishment is or dered to be formed in New South Wales, the expense of which will of course be borne by the revenues of the colony, which are in so flourishing a state that the last advices left 167,0001. in the colonial chest, and which the Governor was about to lend to the private banks, at interest, for the advan tage of commercial discounts.

The Tyne is daily expected at Malta, with Major-General Sir Alex - ander Wood ford, appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Gibraltar. " The Maitland transport only arrived at Malta on the 4th April, from Portsmouth—out 47 days. She touched at Gibraltar, but had no other communication than the landing of passengers.

She has brought the plague, having lost three of her crew by that disorder, the last of whom died as she made the island, after a few hours' illness ;- a fourth recovering. She is in the quarantine harbour, and every precaution is dou bled to prevent contagion, and military centries are placed as an additional security. " The plague was on the decrease at Alexandria on the 2d of May, but at Cairo its ravages at the close of April were terrific, carrying off from 1,700 to 2,000 wer diem. It has also made its appearance at Mytelene and Janina, and cases still exist at Constantinople. . . " A vast deal has beet; done in this island, so as to give the residents something like a voice in the councils of the island. A council has been raised to assist the Governor, by directiot s ef the Home Government, to consist of the General com manding the troops. the Chief Justice, the Bishop, the Chief Secretary, two of the ellief landholders or merchants, being island born, and one merchant British born ; they are be addressed by the adjunctive style of Honourable.

SUN OFFI CE, Seven o'clock. THE PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HO USE OF CO 11 .110 NS. r The SPEAKER took the Chair at two o'clock. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAIL-WAY BILL: Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition, signed by 347 Pro testant clergymen and Dissenters of Carlisle praying the House not to ins(Tt any clause in this Bill prohibiting travel ling on the rail-way on the Sabbath. Mr. AGLIONBY begged to remind the House that the population of Carlisle amounted to no less than 25,000 souls, and that this petition was signed by not more than 347 persons. Sir J. GRAHAM did not know the exact amount of the population, but he believed that the petition was signed by al most every minister in Carlisle. The petition was laid on the table. THE SING V. THE LORD OF THE MANOR OF MANCHESTER. In this case a rule for a certiorari had been obtained to re move the record of a fine inflicted upon Mr. Turner, of Man chester, from the Court of the Lord of the Manor of Man chester, into this Court. In this Manor, of which Sir Oswald Mosley was the Lord, Mr. Turner had been fined in the sum of 3001. for refusing to take upon himself the office of con stable. There were two questions intended to be argued in this case; first, whether Mr. Turner was liable to serve the office ; and, secondly, if he were so, whether the fine imposed upon him was not exorbitant. Sir F. PoLLocx showed cause against the rule, and The ATTORN EY.. GICNERAL was heard in support of it.— Rule absolute. FLETCHiR V. ROWZ. The ATTOR NE Y. GiNERAL moved that the plaintiff i n thi s , and the plaintiff in three other similar actions, should give se curity for costs. These were all actions against a captain of one of his Majesty's revenue cruisers, and it did not appear that the plaintiffs were resident within the country, or had any settled place of abude....—The Court granted a rule to show cage. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. After some conversation between the SPEAKER and Sir J. GRAHAM, respecting the early hour at which the House met, and the absence from the Votes of any other notice than simply that "the Speaker would take the Chair at Two o'Clock," without any reference to private business, The SPEAK ER said that the Right Hon. Baronet was quite right in stating that there was no specific notice in the votes that the House would commence with private business, but the ordinary practice was that private business should take precedence of public business. Sir J. GRAHAM said an Hon. Friend of his had given notice that he would object to a particular clause in this Bill—that Hon. Member was not then in the House, but if he were present and made the motion, he ( Sir J. G.) would support it. He would therefore move that this clause should be omitted. The SPEAKER suggested to the Right Hon. Baronet that he should make his objection to the clause on the third reading of the Bill, in which the Right Hon. Baronet acquiesced, and withdrew his motion. Mr. P. HOWARD had given the Hon. Member alluded to by the Right Hon. Baronet due notice, and had taken every opportunity to act fairly towards him ; he therefore thought it hard that this clause should be allowed to hang over after that Hon. Member had lost his opportunity. TLe Hon Gen-' concluded by moving that the report be received," Sir R. H. INGLIS would not occupy the House for any time. The existing laws were against allowing travellinr , on the Sabbath, and the exception was in its favour ; when a party, therefore, came for new power, it was in the discretion of the House either to grant or refuse them, as they thought most actordant with the law of God and the law of man, in the present instance. The Act under which this Company carried on their concern, was an Act containing a clause pro hibiting travelling on the Sunday, but the Bill which the Hon. Member proposed to lay on the table was to repeal this clause, and to give unlimited power to the Company. Mr. HOWARD—The Bill did not moot that question. Sir R. H. INGLIS was aware of that, but the effect of re pealing the clause would be to give such power. He called upon the House to pause and consider whether it was, under such circumstances, consistent with fair legislation that this Bill should pass. He had given notice that he would move the insertion of a clause, prohibiting travelling on the Sunday —he would not then make his motion, but he %Nould do so on the third reading of the Bill. Mr. POTTER unch ratood that the Hon. Baronet (Sir R. H. Inglis) was not opposed altogether to Sunday travelling, but only during the hours of divine service. Sir R H. INGLIS was opposed altogether to travelling on the Sabbath. The Report was then received. Mr. WALKER presented a petitior! from the Mayor and Corporation of Londonderry, in favour of the Londonderry Improvement Bill. On the motion of an HoN. MasthEa the Londonderry Im provement Bill was read a second time and ordered to be com mitted. Mr. BROTHERTON brought up the Report of the Cern mittee on the Preston and Wyre Railway Bill. Mr. DIVETT brought up the report of the Committee on the Ashburton Read Bill, and the Liverpool Building Bill. Lcrd HENNIKER presented petitions from Suffolk, pray- Lag for an alteration in the law of debtor and creditor, and complaining of agricultural distress. SCOTCH CHURCH. Sir C. FE RG USSON preseuted petitions from Forfar. Kircuribright, and several other parts of Scotland, in favour of extending Church accommodation in that country. Similar petitions were presented by Captain Gordon, Mr. C. Bruce, Mr. Sinclair, Sir Andrew Agnew, Sir Philip Durham, and Sir Michael Shaw Stewart. General SIIARPE and Mr. DILLON presented petition., against any further grants. When the question was put that these petitions be laid or, the table, Mr. C. BRUCE begged to take that opportunity of refer ring to certain charges which were made by the Hon. Mem ber for Falkirk (Mr. Gillen), before the recess, against Mr. Buchan, one of the most estimable and respectable gentlemen connected with the Church of Scotland. That Rev. Gentleman wrote to the Hon. Member to disabuse his mind of the misap prehension he laboured under, and respectfully called upon him to retract the observations he (Mr. G.) had made in thin. House, fur the accuracy of which he had taken upon himself . to vouch. A correspondence ensued in the course of which the Hon. Member praised the Rev. Gentleman for his zeal and ability in diffusing the blessings of a sound religious education, notwithstanding which admission, he repeated his attacks on Wednesday week, in a speech which was only repeated, and occupied a closely printed column in the Courier. He was then proceeding to vindicate the Rev. Mr. Buchan from the charges made against him by the lion. Member, when Mr. CU RTE. IS rose to order, as he considered it irregular, and tending to provoke discussion, to refer to petitions pre sented at so remote a period from the present. Mr. C BRUCE would throw it out of consideration alto gether. It was first charged, that in the returns of the General Assembly Committee, a church was omitted to be mentioned, for the purpose of deceiving the public ; secondly, that the accommodation for Dissenters was also omitted; and, thirdly, that the most improper means were resorted to for prt - curing signatures to the petitions in favour of a grant to the Established Church of Scotland. On the part of the Rev. Gentleman, he (Mr. B.) denied these charges, and in conclu sion hoped that the Hon. Gentleman would be more cautious in making such unfounded charges for the future. Mr. GIL LON defended himself from the imputations cast upon him, and again repeated that the emissions he had men. tionnd were made, and that the most disgraceful measures were employed to procure signatures to petitions in favour of the Established Church of Scotland. On the ',art of the people of Scotland, he protested against any grant of public money to the Church of Scotland, as . an act of the grossest and rankest inj es ice. Sir G. CLERK had several petitions to present to the same effect, and would therefore beg leave to make a few ob servations. It was said the object, on the part of the Esta blished Church of Scotland, was to injure the Dissenters—he, in the name of the Establishment, protested against that doctrine. The efforts of the people of all denominations under the volun tary system fell short of what the country required—it was the duty of the House to supply the deficiency, and to provide religious instruction for the poorest men in the land.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Whether the sum required was 10,0001., or an infinitely larger sum, there was no way in which the money of the public could be more beneficially em ployed, or one more consistent with the principles of due eco nomy.—( Hear, hear.) He thought that the House could not in justice refuso this very moderate demand of the people of Scotland. Mr. O'DW YE R was far from saying that if there was a unanimous call on the part of the people of Scotland for a grant of public money that it should not receive the considera tion of the House. But the public opinion of the people of Scotland was very much divided upon this subject. Many of those who were so loud in their exclamations against a grant to the Roman Catholics, why were they not here to oppose this grant to the Presbyterians of Scotland, who were as much op posed to their notions as the Roman Catholics ? If the great members of the Presbyterians were anxious to build new churches, they could find means to do so without coming to the public Treasury.--(" They do.") In Ireland, a country in finitely poorer, the Catholics supported the Protestant religion, and at the same time their own ministers. He had not any con scientious scruple to prevent him from voting for this grant if it were proved to be necessary. A yearly grant of 8,0001. was made to the College of Maynooth, and if that House should think fit to refuse this grant, he believed that the refusal would produce nothing like national dissatisfaction.—( Hear, hear.) If any Hon. Member should move that this grant should be refused, there would be many persons found on that side of the House who would more readily support such a motion than one for giving a new grant to the people of Scotland. Mr. HAL LIBURTON had presented a petition signed by 1,000 persons of the Establishment, against this grant ; and he had another petition from a Dissenting congregation, which would have been signed by many of the Establishment, if the Dissenters would have consented to their so doing. It was not therefore fair in Hon. Members to state that persons of the Establishment did not petition against the further en dowment to the Church of Scotland. Mr. Serjeant JACKSON conceived that there was a much greater difference between the Roman Catholic and the Esta blished religion, than between the latter and the Presbyterian religion. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was proceeding to comment on the speech of the Hon. Member for Drogheda (Mr. O'Dwyer), when The SPEAKER said thst it would be a serious interruption to the business of the House if there was to be a lengthened discussion upon the presentation of every petition. Mr. Seregant JACKSON begged to dissent from the ob servations of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite. If the tax for the support of the Chureh were taken off, it was certain that the tenant would have so much le rent to pay to the landed proprietor. Mr. WALL ACE presented a petition from Cupar, in Fife shire, against any further grant to the Church of Scotland. With reference to this subject, he would say that there were 14 parishes about the town of Cupar, in all of which there was more Church accommodation than required. He believed it was a fact that there were large sums in the hands of proprietors of Church property, which had not yet been applied to the purposes for which it was levied. Mr. WILK S thought the Dissenters would oppose any grant which would only be in substance a new church-rate levy. Petitions were presented by the Attorney-General and the Lord Advocate from various places in Scotland for and against any grant to the Church of Scotland. CASE OF MR. CHILDS. Mr. WILK S presented petitions from the Dissenteti resident in, and within twelve miles of London, pray ing for a restriction in the juriscrction of the Ecclesiastical Courts, and the extinction of Church-rates; from 1,150 Pro testant Dissenters, to the same effect ; and one from a place in the county of Norfolk, with a similar prayer. A s the matter had been already sufficiently discussed, he would not enter at any length upon the subject further than to express his opinion, and that of the Dissenters generally, that it was a case of great hardship and oppression—( Hear). The Hon. Member alluded to the triumphant procession which had ac companied Mr. Childs on his liberation, and which had roused a spirit of resistance to oppression, as connected with the Church, which would do it more injury than almost any thing else. Sir RONALD FERGUSON, as the Hon. Member for Ipswich was not in his place, begged to correct a statement made by him relative to Archdeacon Glover. That venerable clergyman had requested of him to state that the information upon which the Hon. Member had proceeded, was quite erroneous. Mr. BANNERMAN presented .petitions from hand-loom weavers of various parts of Scotland, complaining of distress, and praying some legislative relief. Mr. C. BRUCE presented a petition from a place in Scot land against the appropriation of any portion of the Irish Church revenues to secular purposes. Mr. PA RR OTT presented a petition from 600 householders of Torquay, praying for Vote by Ballot. Mr. I3R OTHERTON presented some petitions from hand loom weavers, complaining of distress. Mr. HARDY presented a petition to the same effect, from 6,000 hand-loom weavers of Bradford. COUNTY RATES. Mr. E. BUL LEllpresented a petition from the county of Stafford on the subject of county rates, praying for a reduction of the same. In the year 170 the whole ex pense of the county gaol was 1,0561. In the year 1834 It was 51601., but there was a proportionate increase of prosecutions. He trusted that Government, in considera tion of the distressed state of the agricultnral interest, would take this matter into serious consideration, with a iew to the establishment of a general fund. The peti tioners also complained of the increase of expenses, arising from bridges and turnpike roads • and also of the enormous salaries of some of the county Officers. The petition was igned by 5,000 persons. Mr. C URTE I S presented a similar petition from Sussex. Sir .1. WROTTE SLY supported the petitions. Lord R. MANNERS presented some petitions from the county of Leicester, complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for a modification of tithes. TIM SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1835. of Mr. Walsh—(Laughter)—of one little circumstance, merely, that Mr. Walsh had been convicted by a jury.-- ( Hear, hear.) The only doubt then was whether Exchequer Bills were or were not articles, the embezzlement of which were felony ; but Mr. Walsh had been found guilty upon an indictment tried at the Old Bailey..--( Hear. ) Mr. HUME said the decision against Mr. Walsh was re versed, and therefore he stood in the situation of having no charge against him, as far as the law was concerned, of moral guilt. Mr. ELPHINSTONE thought the House was competent to decide upon the question. Mr. METHUEN rose to order. He thought the House ought not to have its time taken up with questions of this kind, it being a contest purely between the Hon. Member and his constituents. Mr. ROBINSON thought the petition should be with drawn, or that the Honourable Gentleman should have an opportunity of explaining. As far as his experience went, he could say that in every instance of this kind an op portunity had been afforded to the Member to justify his con duct. It was a mere question of feeling, and he considered the discussion to be altogether irregular.—( Hear. ) Lord JOHN RUSSELL understood the Hon. Member to bring forward this petition in order that there might be some decision upon the subject. Now he certainly agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite that this was a kind of question upon which there could be no decision by the House.—( Hear. ) It was a question between a Representative and his consti tuents with regard to certain statements which he was supposed to have made to those constituents—( Hear, hear) — he therefore would recommend the Hon. Gentleman not to bring forward a petition of this kind, especially as he was not prepared with any specific motion on the subject.—( Hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK hoped that the Hon. Member would bring forward the petition.—( Hear, hear.) It would be unjust to allow this charge to hang over him which did bang over him, rnd would hang over him, unless he was able in the House to wipe off the stain that was then upon him ; therefore the House was bound to give him a hearing. Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER said it was for the House to consider whether it was that sort of petition which was within the re cognition of the House. It was a question for the House to consider whether they would enter into discussions between Members and their constituents, and in tieing so they would also consider what the consequences of such a course of pro ceeding would be,—( Hear, hear.) Mr. - JO HNSTONE said he was ready to adopt any course the House would suggest ; either to avail himself of the in du'gence of the House now or at some other period, but cer tainly he was very anxious to give an answer to this most ex traordinary charge.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. PR YME understood that the question before the House was whether this petition should lie on the table--(No, no) — he was quite aware that that question would not be put, but he would suggest to the Hon. Member that when the petition was brought forward, he would give him an opportunity whatever might be the ultimate decision of the House, of making his ex planation.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. SHAW apprehended that without any motion before the House, any Honourable Member might claim the indul gence of the House to give any explanation in answer to a charge affecting his character as a Member of the House. Mr. JOHNSTONE was proceeding to address the House upon the extraordinary nature of the charge preferred against him, which, he eaid, arose out of a pledge which was given by him ; when Sir ROBERT PEEL rose to order, and said he could not help thinking that this course was likely to involve the House in a very considerable difficulty. It was quite clear that this was a matter over which the House had no jurisdiction.— ( Hear, hear.) It related to a Member who bad made some engagements with his constituents, with which, how ever, the House had nothing whatever to do ; and if the Hon. Member persisted, he would be taking an advantage of the petitioners by making a statement which they could not answer; and, besides, that it would be establishing a most dangerous precedent. If the Honourable Member volunteered an explanation, he thought he must admit that he would be taking 'an advantage of which he ought not to avail himself, and though he (Sir Robert Peel) did not participate in any charge against ' him, he would have another opportunity of explaining himself to his constituents, and a better one too, as the question did not properly come under the jurisdiction of the House.—( Cries of " Hear.") Mr. F. BUXTON said the Honourable Member was no doubt anxious to vindicate himself, and it would be rather hard if he were not allowed an opportunity to do so. H.: recommended the course suggested by the Right Hon. Baronet ; at the same time he hoped it would go forth to the world that no imputation could be substantiated against the Hon. Gentleman.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") Lord HO WICK concurred with the Right Hon. Baronet, and thought if they allowed this proceeding to go a step fur ther, the Home would establish a most dangerous precedent. --(Hear.) It was stated that the Hon. Member had pledged himself to resign his seat if he pursued a certain course, but he trusted the House would never recognize that principle.- -(General cries of " Hear, hear.") The Hon. Gentleman hal been attacked in the newspapers, and a course was be fore him by which he could explain himself to his Constituents w:evout bringing the matter before the House. Mr. ROEBUCK would ask whether the Chair had not put the question whether the petition should be received, if so, was it right that any Honourable. Member should be c died to order while speaking on the question ?—( Hear.) Ho thought he had a right to talk for an liour.—( Laughter.) Sir R. PEEL explained. Mr. JOHNSTONE said in compliance with the feeling of the House he should not force his statement upon it. —( Cheers. ) The Petition was understood to be withdrawn. THE RIOTS AT WOLVERHAMPTON. On L:)rd JOHN RUSSELL limier , : the Order of the D iy for going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. THORNBY rose to ask a question of considerable importance of the Noble Lord, and alien he said that it related to the recent outrages at Wolverhampton, he was ~ uite sure the House would favour him with its indul gence—( Hear, hear)—he had received a statement confirmed by Mr. Roaf, a Dissenting Minister, alleging that the soldiers were brought in in a most unexpected manner, as very few eked ins hid passed off w ith less riot. Three persons had been shot, but although the military been called into action, their appeared to have been very little confusion, the only breach of the peace being some one breaking four panes of glass at an hotel. He could not see why the military should interfere on such occasions, and believed it was quite illegal. —( Hear, bear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL had received a similar state ment, but he bad given directions to the magistrates to make a full and impartial enquiry, which be would take care should be speedily carried into effect, and he would every paper he received before the Hause.—( Hear.) Au HON. MEMBER had received also communications from the borough of Wolverhampton, fully confirming the state ments made by his Honourable Colleague, though he was aware that much reliance ws not to be placed upon what had taken place in the midst of excitement, and although he had gone over all the circumstances in order if possible to find out something to qualify the state ments and justify the parties implicated by them, he had been unable to find out any thing which showed that no riot had been proclaimed in the town, or that the soldiers had not been called upon to act with a violence, he believed, totally unparalleled in the history of this country.--(Cheers.) He had a guide by which he could measure the extent of the disturbances that had taken place in the town, for he had received a communication from persons who all agreed that the disturbance that did occur on Wednesday last could not be named in comparison with the disturbances that took place at the last election for the borough. At that election it happened to be his fortune not to be the popular candidate, and he considered that his friends had been rather hardly dealt with, he applied to the ma gistrates,who state they had no effective police; he thensuggested that some precautionary measures should be taken to keep all quiet during the night ; this suggestion was c oldly re c e i ve d by the magistrates. This he did not attribute to any difference in political opinions between the magistrates and himself, but to their knowledge of the dispositions of the people in that town. The military were not then called out, and no disturbance took place. In the present instance, however, he was at a loss to know upon what grounds the Magistrates had thought proper to proclaim a not in the town.—(Loud cheers.) In his opinion there were facts connected with the conduct of the military that loudly called for the inquiry suggested by his Honourable Colleague.—( Hear.) He should consider the conduct of the military extremely illlegal and uncalled for, till he was informed to the contrary by some military member of that House.—( Cheers.) Were the military to go out and act according to their own discretion—(Cheers) — firing on the mob in a manner totally uncalled for? He en tirely agreed with the suggestion of his Hon. Colleague, that Government ought to send out some competent person to inquire into the matter. Such a course would tend to allay the great excitement that prevails in the manufacturing districts. It was in his opinion reasonable, just, and expedient, for the Govern ment to send down an Agent to institute an inquiry into this melancholy occurrence, in order to let the people of this country see that they had a Government prepared, andalso willing, to offer them redress.—( Hear, hear.) r. FO STE R—ln consequence of the absence of his friend the Member for North Staffordshire, who was confined from indisposition, he felt it his duty to defend the con duct of the Magistrates of that county, and to vindicate them from the charges with which they had been impugned. He would, therefore, beg to read a statement of this melancholy disturbance which he had that morning re ceived from the Rev. Mr. Clare. He then proceeded to read the letter of the Rev. Gentleman. It differed very much from the statements published in The Sun. Mr. THORNLEY explained. Sir J. WROTTESLEY regretted that the Government did not consent to grant the inquiry. All he wanted was a full investigation, but he certainly should not be satisfied with a military investigation alone. —( Hear, hear, hear.) The investigation that had been already had was by no means satisfactory, and he thought there were sufficient grounds for the enquiry he asked. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that if the enquiry the Hon. Gentleman sought was likely to give satisfaction, he had no objection to adopt that course. In answer to a question from Sir H. H A RDINGE, the Noble Lord stated that both from the statements of the Magi strates and the High Constable, the conduct of the military was spoken of as having been marked with the utmost for bearance.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. SC HOLEFIELD roso, and was left speaking. HOUSE OF LORDS. Lord HATHERTON (Mr. Littleton) was introduced, and took the oaths and his sett, Lord DENMAN took his seat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. Petitions praying for additional grants for the endowment of Churches in Scotland were presented by the Duke of Gor don, the Earl of Haddington, and Lord Lynedoch. Lord ROLLE presented a petition from a place in the county of Devon in favour of the Great Western Railway. Lord DACRE presented a petition from Berkhampstead, signed by the Rector, Overseers, &c., praying the House to pass a ,law whereby the funds left for the support of Grammar Schools might be applied to all branches of edueation. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER presented a petition from Banff against any further grant of money for the purpose of extending Church accommodation in Scotland, as the Churches now in existence were not filled. Some of the petitioners had been entrapped into signing peti tions on the other side of the question, and they were most anxious that their real sentiments should be known.—(Hear.) The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition complain ing of agricultural distress, from a place the name of which was not heard in the gallery. The Earl of DARTMOUTH presented a petition praying for the protection to the Established Church, and an alteration in the Catholic oath, by which Members of that religion might be prevented from voting upon any questions which involved the safety of the Established Church. • The Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY being officially. connected with the vast population from whence this pe tition; came had been requested to support its prayer, a prayer in whteh he entirely concurred. The table of that and f the other House of Parliament would ere long be crowded with petitions of a similar nature, and he hoped that his Majesty's Govern ment would be induced to review the course they were about to pursue—a course which must ultimatelydestr l oy the Irish Church. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. HAL FORD supported the petition on agricultural dis tress from Leicestershire. He contended that the distress was considerably heightened by the pressure of the manufactu rinz upon the agricultural popua ioas, the former exceedir g the litter by 3,000. Of 139,3031. 6s. levied in Leicestershire for rates, 108,000 L were directly levied upon the land, 29,0001 upon houses, and only 13,0001. upon mills and manufactories. In one parish alone, where there were 2,780 acres of good land, there were only 69 agricultural labourers, while there were 301 manufacturing labourers. Between the years 1826 and 1832, the rates in that parish were never less than 2,445/., but in 1829 they amounted to 3,6361., being 85 per cent. upon the parish assessment. No country in England suffered more from the circumstance of this pressure upon the agricultural popu lation by the manufacturing population, which was employed by the capitalists as long as their labour would yield them a profit, and were then left a burthen upon the parish. HORSHAM ELECTION. Sir T. FREMANTLE, the Chairman of the Horsham Election Committee, brought up the report, which declared Mr. Hurst to be duly elected. CHURCH REFORM. Mr. CARTSVRIGHT presented a petition from a place in Staffordshire against the appropriation of Church property to any but ecclesiastical purposes; also .a petition from a place in Northamptonshire to the same effect. Mr. SHAW presented a petition from the Clergy of the diocese of Cork, against the contemplated measure of Church Reform. Mr. POTTER presented a petition from the inhabitants of the town of Wigan, in favour of the Church Reform Bill. Mr. LUCAS presented a petition from the town and county of Monaghan, praying that the House would adopt no measure to divert Church property from the purposes for which it was designed. The petitioners state that they view with alarel the progress of measures which, under the specious na , r e of' Reform, have no other tendency but to create re volution and anarchy; and they pray the House to p-eseve in their full efficiency all the venerable institutions of the country. The petition was signed by 10,000 most respectable people, and demonstrated that not only the Protestants, tut the Preabyterians of the North of Ireland were adverse to any measure calculated to impair the efficiency of the Esta blished Church.—(Hear. from the Opposition benches.) Sir GEORGE CLERK presented a petition from (as we understood him) the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, in favour f the Established Church of Ireland. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had a petition of quite an opposite nature to present. It was from the city of Edinburgh, and signed by 14,000 of its inhabitants, in favour of the proposed measure of Church Reform. The House might have some idea of the length of this petition when he informed it that the postage of it amounted to not less than 431 15s. 4d. —( Laughter) The petitioners approved the resolution the House came to on the motion of his Noble Friend, the Secretary of State for the Ho:ne Department, Ind they prayfkl the House to adopt speedy and effectual inz..a.- Eures to remedy the abuses connected with the Established Church of Ireland. Lord MILTON expressed himself favourable to .Church R form but would not Ile !gc bin:BAl to r•dopt such measure::, to attain that objee::. es the petitioners suggested.• MEMBERS' PLEDGES. Mr. ,1. JOHNSTONE begged to call the attention of ti.• House to a very unprovoked attack that had bee;l ;nail° upon him and published in the Journals of tha day. lle would now only say, in reference to it, thi.t 1 e was informed a petition was to be presented respecting the fulfilment of th.; pledges he gave his constituents, and which was now in the hands of the Honourable Member for Hastings, (Mr. Elphinstone.) He (Mr. J.) begged to ask the Hon. Member when he purposed to present it, in order that he might be enabled to give an answer to such charges as should be preferred against him in it. He hoped there would be :.o di lay in presenting it. Mr. ELPHIN STONE, in reply, had to say that a petition had been intrusted to him, referring to the circumstances ut,..ler which the Honourable Member held his seat in that House. He had an interview with the petitioner, and he was authorised to make an offer to which he hoped the Hon. Member would accede. He desired to refer two docu ments to the same distinguished individuals (Lords John Ru - sell, Mr. Sp:ing Rice, and Dr. Lushington) to whose arbitrement this subject was before referred.—( , No, no, from several Members of the Opposition.) He (Mr. E.) was then I,reparel to present the petition, but as this was rather an unprece lented proceeding, he thought it better that the Hon. Member should adopt the course which he hal suggested. The documents he alluded to were a statement of the Liberal electors of St. Andrew's, which was drawn cut in May last, and an affidavit. Mr. HUME rose to order. If the Honourable Gentle man was not about to present a petition his course was disorderly, although he was aware of the circumstances under which the Honourable Member for St. Andrew's held his seat. Yet, as this course was without a precedent, he submitted td his Hon. Friend not to persevere in it, but at once to present the petition he now held in his hand. The SPEAKER made some observation, the purport of which we could not catch. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE thought that the courtesy which it was usual on the part of the House to extend towards all its Members should be extended to him by allowing the petition to Le presented. Mr. ELPHINSTONE again rose, and stated that he had a petition to present from several of the constituents of Mr. A. Johnstone, stating that that Hon. Gentleman had pledged himself to resign his seat when called upon to do so. Mr. BENNETT rose to order, amid loud cries of " Read the prayer." Mr. ELPHINSTONE said the prayer of the petition was, that the House would be pleased to take into its consideration . a matter so deeply affecting the character of one of its Mem bers.—( Laughter.) Mr. GO ULBURN doubted whether the House could re ceive such a petition. The Hon. Member had been elected by his constituents to represent their interests ; it was for him alone to judge what line of duty he ou;ht to pursue, if the electors were dissatisfied. When he appeared again be fore them, it was for them to mark their opinion by not returning him. Mr. HUME rose to order. An Hon. Member had risen in his place, and said that his character had been affected, and such being the case, would theiHouse, at a Member's own re quest, refuse him the only means by which he could put the House in possession of all the facts of the case ?—( Cheers.) Mr. W YNN could not conceive how the House could entertain the petition. If every thing that any petitioner chose to suggest was to be considered as an attack upon the character of an Hon. Member deserving inquiry, the House would have nothing else to do but entertain such inquiry. The object of the petition was to call upon an Hon. Member to resign his seat; according to the Constitution of the country, no Member could do so. It depended wholly upon the pleasure of the Crown to confer an office upon him by means of which he might vacate his seat. In his opi nion there was no shape in which the House could call upon a Member to resign his scat, and that being so the whole point was, whether the petition should be received? The House, it was true, if it chose, might listen to the discus sion ; but he thought if it did, it would never be enabled to come to any decision upon it. Mr. HUME was astonished to hear what bad fallen f om the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just addressed the House, because the Right Hon. Gentleman either made a motion or supported a motion for the expulsion of Mr. Walsh, who it was alleged had forged certain Exchequer Bills. The House expelled him. He (Mr. Hume) opposed that motion on the ground that if the House was once to begin to censure moral guilt on the part of its Members, there would be no end to its labours.—( Cries of Hear, hear," and laughte r .) Th e Right Hon. Gentleman, he believed, supported the motion, and the House by a 7ery large majority expelled Mr. Walsh. He merely mentioned this to repel the idea that the House had no jurisdiction. Mr. WYNN merely wished to state, in answer tl the Hon. Member for Middlesex, that he spoke either in total ignorance or entire forgetfulness, in speaking of the case AFFAIRS OF SPAIN. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY would take the op portunity to ask a few questions of the Noble Viscount ( Mel- bourne) upon a subject of very deep interest. He did not wish to originate any discussion upon this important affair, but if the Noble Viscount had no objection, he would feel it as a favour if he would communicate whether— since his last accession to power—( Hear)—any thing what ever had been done by his Majesty's Government to interfere in the affairs of Spain ? Whether any instructions had been given to the cruizers on the coast of Spain to support the Queen of Spain's Government? Whether any arms and stores had been furnished to her from this country ; and if so, whether they had been paid for and in what mode, and finally whether any vessels had been fitted out, and at whose expense? ViscountMELBOURNE said no such instructions as those stated by the Noble Marquis had been given to , the cruizers. With respect to the other questions, he could then give no answer. If the Noble Marquis had given him notice of the questions be had asked, he (Viscount Melbourne) would have informed himself upon the subject; as it was, he would do so, and state the result of his inquiries to-morrow. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented petitions from Durham, Gateshead, and other places, in support of the Church of Ireland. ISLINGTON MARKET BILL. The Bishop of LONDON having been requested to present a petition upon the subject of this Bill before its second reading, and finding that he would not be able to attend in his place to-morrow, when the . Bill stood for a second reading, would take the liberty of presenting the petition then, and expressing his anxiety that this Bill might pass. The petition came from seventeen hundred and thirty four inhabitants of Islington, who, from long experience, were aware of the intolerable nuisance arising from Smithfield market as at present conducted. He had himself had some years experience as a resident of London, of the evils that arose from the present state of Smithfield market, in a moral as well as a political point of view. It was not, however, part of his duty to look at the case in the latter point, or consider what the graziers lost by the injury done their beasts, but it was a part of his duty to feel a deep interest in the moral evils that resulted from the manner in which Smithfield Market was conducted.—( Aear, hear.) The great part of these evils would be removed if the Honse would pass the Islington Market Bill. The main objection against this Bill was, that it conferred upon an individual the power of levying certain tolls upon the beasts higher than those which were levied by the Corporatien of London. It was quite ob vious that this evil . would speedily correct itself. If the graziers were not satisfied with the charges made at the new market, they would continue to send their beasts to the old. He should have preferred himself if some public body had come forward to support this undertaking, and had offered similar conveniences; but as such had not been the case, be thought that the individual who had done so was entitled to great credit. He trusted that their Lordships would approve of the Bill. A NOBLE LORD, whose name we could not learn, presented a petition from the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, against the Grand Junction Water Works Bill. THE MARRIAGE LAWS. Lord L YNDH LTR ST presented a Bill for the purpose of regulating the Laws relating to Marriages which were now invalid, from the parties being too nearly related. By his Bill he proposed to enact that where a marriage was contracted within the limits of consanguinity—if not disputed—if a suit was not instituted within two years from the date of the marriages, or within six months from the passing of the Act in re gard to marriages which had been contracted then the marriages should be held inviolablethat no party should Le at liberty, after that period, to call them in ques tion.—( Hear, hear.) As the law at present stood, a man might arrive at the age of twenty-five, might then marry, and have a family without the least suspicion of his being illegitimate ; but if - the parents of that man were w ithin the degree of affinity allowed by law— ( Hear)--it was in the power of any party, even from motives of envy or malice, to institute a suit, and have him declared illegitimate. That was an evil which he wished to see remedied as speedily as possible. He moved that the Bill be read a first time. Lord BROUGHAM said the House ought to feel obliged to his Noble and Learned Friend for the Bill Bill he had then presented. He ( Lord B.) was only sorry that it was not more comprehensive. He was sorry that the Noble and Learned Lord had taken an example from modern acts of limitation, and given six months for the commencement of suits. He was of opinion that the old principle was much bet ter; and it would greatly improve the Bill, to say in it that from aril after the Ist of June, 1835, no suit should be in stituted for the invalidation of any marriage that had been con tracted. lie trusted that the Noble and Learned Lord would consider the point.--( Hear, hear. ) Lord LYNDHURST said if the House was of the same opinion as the Noble and Learned Lord, he would be very glad to give in, and amend the Bill.—( Cheers.) The Bishop of EXETER suggested that the Bill should be so framed as to embrace marriages of the kind embraced in the sill, which were contracted in a foreign country. Lord BROUGHAM said there would be no difficulty on that head. Petitions in favour of the Church were presented by the Earls of CAMDEN and HARROWIIY, and the House adjourned till to-morrow at ten o'clock. BAIL COURT. SILK V. - HUMPHREY, ESQ., AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff, Miss Mary Agnes Silk, sought to recover a penalty of 30/., imposed by the 32d Geo. 11. upon Sheriffs of counties for the negligence of their officers. The Act ex pressly provides that any person arrested shall not be carried to gaol for twenty-four hours, if conveyed to some safe and convenient dwelling-house. The ATToma T- GENERAL was for the defendants (the re sponsible person being Richard Hulland, an officer to the Sheriff of Middlesex), and Mr. KNOWLES for the plaintiff. The defendant Hulland it appeared had, in June, 1833, ar rested Miss Silk at her lodgings in Charlotte-street, Portland place, and, according to the evidence of Joseph Hulford, his assistant, had remained with her two hours while she sent for bail, as she was anxious not to go out of the house. No per son came to her; but a Mr. Copeland, to whom she sent, had returned an answer that Mrs. Copeland would come to her. However, Hulland at length said he could wait no longer, and recommended two houses as being near to her lodgings and to the plaintiff in the action against her, viz., Mr. Mor land, in Dean-street. She at length consented to go to Levy's lock-up house, in Newman-street. A coach was called, as she was too ill to walk, and she willingly got into it, and was conveyed to Levy's, and from thence, at her own request, was taken to prison. Several witnesses were called to show that Hulland had not complied with the terms of the Act, and that he would not take the plaintiff to a safe and convenient dwelling-house, but insisted upon her going to prison.—The Jury found a verdict for the defendant COMMON PLEAS. ANGLER V. SIR WILLIAM TWISDEN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as executor of the late Mr. Stultz, the celebrated West-end tailor, against the defendant, to recover the amount of a bond under the fol lowing circumstances :—The defendant, several years ago, passed the late Mr. Stultz a bond of 6061., to secure the pay ment of 303/., which Sir William Twisden owed for clothes. The bond was not enforced for a length of time, in conse quence of Sir William Twisden's circumstances being very bad, having only his half-pay to live upon ; but he had consi derable expectations at the death of his father. He, however, subsequently took the benefit of the Insolvent Act. After Mr. Stultz's death the bond being found amongst his papers, the plaintiff thought it his duty to sue for it, and an action was brought against Sir William Twisden, who at the trial pleaded the Statute of Limitations as to the debt, though a bond ex isted, it not having accrued at any time within 20 years : and further, that he was not liable, as he had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. On searching the records of the Insolvent Court, no trace of his schedule could be found ; but there was a memorandum of his having done so.—Rule nisi granted. COURT OF REQUESTS. John Emmerson was summoned for the price of a violin, which Edward Sheckill, a blind performer on the instrument, had lent him upOn trial. The violin player stated that the defendant was in the habit of supplying young men with musical instruments for performance in the street, where they obtained a great deal of money. One of them, however, popped off with the fiddle in question, as he had not been well looked after. Some recrimination ensued between the parties, from which it appeared that men and women were in the habit of paying as much as 3s. 6d. per day for the loan of such instruments. At length th..l defendant agree 4 to let the plaintiff }Ave a flute and a dog to pursue his tr-de, and to pay a trine yer week ferthe violin, should he fail to find the thief. POLICE IN MANSION HO USE. trio/. On Saturday a well-dressed man, named L.te charged with stealing newspapers from the Hope Cof fe e is Bishopsgate-street.
