not give up a document which he considered the House had no sight to demand. Mr. WARBURTON remarked that the first step that ought to be taken was to see whether Colonel Fairman per sisted in refusing to produce the book. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought that the House should narrow the inquiry as much as possible. The only question the House had to determine was, whether the witness should be allowed to persist in refusing to produce the book. He should have a question put to him on that point. Sir R. H. INGLIS s h ou ld persist in moving that the evidence taken before the Committee be read to the witness. The House then divided— For the motion Against it . . . lajority against it —llo On our return to the Gallery we found the witness under examination at the Bar. By Mr. SHAW—The book he had furnished to the Com mittee he had found at the office belonging to the Orange Society ; he was not directed to prepare the book he refused to produce by the Orange Society, but had written it at his own discretion. Many of the letters contained in this book were written in his private capacity, and had no reference to the Orange Institution. The book was certainly not a conti nuation of any other book. Had, when first examined before the Committee, no objection to produce extracts from this book relating to Orange Lodges ; but, from what had taken place since, he entertained insuperable objections to do so at all, both as regarded military as well as civil lodges. He did so, not from any desire for concealment respecting Orange lodges—he should hardly care one halfpenny as regarded the Orange Society, if the contents of this book were made known from Hyde-park corner to Whitechapel, but on public prin ciple he resisted the production of the book ; two or three days ago he did not entertain the same feeling, but when a threat was used he considered it a matter of principle to resist; the only reason that induced him now to refuse was a feeling of resistance against what he considered to be an improper in fluence ; if he were again examined before the Committee, and was called upon to produce the book, the probability was that he should not produce it. By Mr. WARBURTON--He persisted in refusing to pro duce it ; the book was now in his own possession. The witness was then ordered to withdraw. Mr. WALLACE said that there were precedents which would direct the House as to the course to be pursued in the present case. He would refer to one exactly in point. At the time the House was occupied with the inquiry into the conduct of the Duke of York, in the disposal of commissions, one of the witnesses at the bar refused to produce certain do cuments in his possession. It was then moved in Committee that Captain Huxby Sandon, having refused to produce cer tain papers, should be reported to the House. The House resumed, and Captain Sandon wai ordered to be taken into the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms. The Sergeant -at- Arms was then directed to accompany Captain Sandon to his lodgings, and to search them for all papers having any connexion with the subject matter of the inquiry--and to bring all such papers, with the prisoner, back to the House.—( Hear.) On this being done, Mr. Whartcn, the Chairman, reported that the Committee of the whole House recommended that the whole of the papers found et Captain Sandon's lodgings should be referred to a Select Con mittee, to select such papers as were considered necessary t, ) be referred to the House. This was accordingly done. IL ( Mr. Wallace) intended to propose that a similar course be pursued with regard to Colonel fairman. That he in the fir: t place be taken into custody; and should then move that t', Sergeant at Arms proceed to his lodging, and bring back 1330 k referred to, as wed as all other papers ret•erring to the Orange Institution. If the wit.ie,s persisted in refusing tv produce the book he should certainly adopt this course. lie concluded with moving that Colonel Fairman be taken into custody of the Sergeant at Arra- Mr. C. PELHAM was understood to say, that the cutti,,g of a man's head off at the will of a Monarch, was net a arbitrary act than it would be to insist on the production of private papers. Mr. H. WALL lay:Jig Fa . i he wished to put some qu-s -tion. to Colonel Fairman, he was re-called. and examined by the Hon. Gentleman. 1 wish to ask whether there is i❑ your possession any oft.•r book, than that whi±:ii you dcclilie to deliver, in which you h:, ye kept any of the minutes of the proceedings of the Orni,,;:e Lodges since you have been connected with them ?—No , :e whatever. Can you remember the date of the last entry of the bc..k delivered in ?—No. The book delivered in, you found in the archives of }'c ::r Lodge ?—Yes. Have you aay objection to state he date of the first en r in the book, which )o u refuse to :eliver iu ?—I cannot st,.te from memory ; I should have no objection to do so, if 1 coul Is the date 1831 ?—Certainly not. It is more probah'y 1835. Do you mean the House to understand that between 181! and 1835 there were no minutes kept of the proceedings of the. Orange Lodges 7—No ; I mean that there were not for six or seven months together. Examined by Mr. WARBURTON—Where is the book ? —lt is in my own possession Where is 3our own possession ? At my cottage. Where is your cottage—( Oppwition cries of " No," an swered by loud cries of " Hear, hear.")—ln Surrey. At what place in Surrey—(Cries of " Oh 1" and " Hear") which prevented the reply from being heard distinctly—e give what we heard of it.)—l have no objection to say where my cottage is ; I shall be happy to see the Hon. Gentle:lnel, if he will call on me—(Loud cries of " Withdh aw.") The witness having withdrawn, Mr. SHAW thought the Housc not justified in pursuing ae inquiry of this kind ; its object was clear, and he contended that it would be a most unheard-of and tyrannical course for the Honse to pursue, to send its officer to the private residence there to seize the private papers of this witness—( Opposi 60.1 .cheers.) He really had not thought the Hor. Member f.r Greenock serious when he proposal to send an officer to the witness's private house for his book.--( Hear, hear.) The witness had said that he objected to give up the book because it contained that which was private • the object of the Hen. Gentleman, therefore, was not to obtain public information, but either to satisfy his personal curiosity, or to revenge him self on the witness for his refusal.—( Cries of " Order," and " Chair.") What he had said he meant to use only in the wiy of argument. If he was wrong, let the Hon. Member explain what his object was. Mr. WALLACE rose, amidst cries of " Order !" I am asked to explain.—( Order ! hear ! and a laugh.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman called on me to explain—( Order ! and hear 1) The SPEAKER, we believe, put it to the Hon. and Learned Member, whether he wished the Hon. Member for Greenock to explain now ? Mr. SHAW said the Hon. Member would have an oppor tunity of .explaining after he had concluded. He could net help thinking that some Hon. Gentlemen would be much dis appointed if they did obtain the hook ; for their object ap peared to be, not so much-possession of the book, as to send the witness to Newgate.—( Order, and cheers.) An HoN. MEMBER found it exceedingly difficult to keep his seat, while the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was making such charges against Hon. Members on his side of the House.— ( Cheers.) Were they, sitting as judges, to be told by a judge —(Cheers)—that their object was revenge? Were they, sit ting as judges, to be told that their object was personal curio sity, or they were prompted by a feeling of resentment to send an individual to Newgate ?_( Cheering.) He must beg the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to recollect himself a little.— (Cheers.) Were the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to be sitting in the judgment-seat, he would not like to have it im puted to himself that he was governed by such feelings and principles. Mr. SHAW would withdraw the observations he had made, which were considered objectionable. Mr. WALLACE believed that his conduct in that House, and out of it, would bear comparison with that of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman at any time.—( Hear, hear.) He would add, that the remarks which the on. and Learned Gentleman had made regarding him were totally and positively unfounded. He had never forgot himself, as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had.—(Order, and hear.) Mr. METHUEN did not think that the Hon. and Learned Member seriously meant to impute revengeful feelings to others. Sir J. TYRRELL begged to bring the House back to the subject for its consideration, which was, whether it would persist in putting the question to Colonel Fairman ? He wished to remind them that there was no charge against this witness, notwithstanding which, it was contemplated to send him to Newgate.—(No, no.) He understood the Hon. Member for Greenock to have given notice that he would move that the witness be taken into the custody of the Ser jeant-at- Arms. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished to call the attention of the House to the exact position in which this question stood. The examination by the Hon. Member for Bridport was in strict conformity with the precedents to be found on the journals of the House ; and after that exami nation was concluded, it would be open to the House to de cide what further steps they should take with regard to the book. They had no right to object to a course of examina tion, founded on Parliamentary precedent, from an apprehen sion that they might not approve of the course with which it might be proposed to follow up that examination. First the examination should be proceeded with ; then they would de termine whether the book ought to be produced or not ; and if their decision were in the affirmative, and the witness re fused to produce it, they would next consider what further steps should be taken. Mr. SHAW rose and said a few words, which were ren dered inaudible by repeated cries of " Spoke." Colonel SIBTHORP expressed his deep regret that the book was not in his possession; if it were, he would try the question with the House.—( Shouts of laughter and groans.) He would see whether any one should enter his private cham ber to carry into effect a tyrannical resolution.—( Cheers and laughter, and " Ohs.") They might pride themselves (said the Hon. and Gallant Member with great vehemence) on their numbers, but he could tell them that strength did not depend on numbers, but on individual resolution and determination— (Much laughter, and errs of " Oh I") Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the witness be recalled. An HON. MEMBER suggested that the short-hand writer should read the two or three last questions and answers. Mr. Gurney read them accordingly. They were to the effe:.t we have already stated, with the addition that the witness had stated his residence was at Portland -cottage, Mount-gardens, Lambeth. This answer appeared to have been heard only by the short-hand writer, who was seated close by the witness. The reading of it excited great laughter. The witness, who had been ordered to withdraw in order that the House might consider whether the answer should or should uot be required from him, now appeared at the Bar. Mr. WARBITRTON continued his examination. Is the book under lock and key ?—Yes. Have you given any orders for the removal of that book since you have been in the presence of this House—in the course of the last quarter of an hour ?—No. Examined by Mr. D. W. HARVEY. Were the letters you received addressed to you in the character of Secretary to the Orange Lodge 2—Certainly. Does the book in question, which you refuse to p ro d uce con tain any answer from you as Secretary of the Orange Society, to letters written on Orange subjects ?—Many. Examined by Mr. B ORTH WIC K—Suppose the date of the first entry in the book to be 1835, is there entered in it all your official correspondence from that period ?--Certainly not, by a great deal. Are you willing to produce, for the information of the Com mittee of this House, all the official information which you have in the shape of correspondence or otherwise, respecting these lodges?—Certainly. In answer to Mr. O'CONNELL, the witness said if he had letters of more than ordinary importance he generally entered them in the book. Examination continued by Mr. BORTH WICK—In the event of your absence for some months, what became of the letters and answers ?—lf they were letters of consequence, I forwarded the necessary instructions; if they were letters of mere routine, the persons in the office answered them to the best of their ability. I refuse, on public principle, to produce the book—l consider it inquisitorial to call for it, and there fore I refuse.—(Withdraw, withdraw.) The witness withdrew. Mr. WALLACE moved, that Col. Fairman be taken into the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms.—( Cries of " No, no," and " Hear.") The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER submitted to the Hon. Gentleman that this would be going rather too quickly.—( Hear, hear.) The first point to be determined was, whether the book was one which ought to be produced. Mr. SCA RLETT begged that the witness might be re called.—( Oh, oh.) He had a very important question to put to him. The witness was then recalled, and examined by the Hon. Gentleman—ls the book in question your property or the pro perty of the Orange Society ?—I consider it my property. By Mr. O'CONNELL—Have you any other books con taining correspondence between the Orange Lodges and the Grand Secretary ?—None. The witness was then ordered to withdraw. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the motion he should now put to the House was, that the witness who had just left the bar was bound to produce the book.—( Cheers.) This witness could not be considered a private individual ; he took on himself a high official situa tion. The book in question contained copies of the letters the witness had received, acting in his official capacity, and also of the answers that had been sent ; and they were in no other book.—_( Hear, hear.) Such were that individual's admission. Then he asked, was this correspondence relevant to the sub ject-matter of the inquiry before the Committee ? If it was, would not the investigation of the Committee be fettered— would it not be barred altogether, if this evidence were not produced ?_( Cheers.) Unless they were prepared to tur., all their proceedings into a farce—unless they were disposed to bring ridicule upon them—unless they had determined to afford to every public delinquent the most easy way of screen ing himself from justice, they would demand the production of v , ok—thny 1 . 4 ! t i lat tl.e whole of the proof they required should be laid before them.—( Cheers.) He was most anxious to protect the principle of private confidence, but he would not do it in a mode to defeat justice and screen offenders against the laws.—( Cheers.) Mr. HUME seconded the motion. The question having been put, Sir R. INGLIS moved an amendment to the effect, tll, - ,t. only such portions of the document in question should be pro duced as related to the subject-matter of the inquiry. Mr. S/I A Wwished only to observe, that in his opinion th importance attached to this case was very absurd. He be lieved that not the least objection existed to the production of the documents in question, or of any other relating to Orange institutions. From first to last he had thought that the wt ness ought to have produced the letters. Sir J. TYRE L L observed, that if the witness refused to produce the book in question, as he hoped he would not, 11c, for one should desire to make him do so. 3,• •Slr FREH FlE , 'oborated the statement of t h e ...• Rigid Bon. Member for the Univet-ity of Dublin(:r:: Shaw), that the. witness had not at first relasel to produr t • such part of the letters as related to the subject of militar. lodges, but that afterwards, considering, th.tt. A soft, of thre:.i seas held out to him upon the point of p'oduci.;g- those relatin i ,- tJ 0. tinge Lodges generally, he had felt bound, consulting hi honour a 3 a military man, to refuse. He of served also, that a court of law had no authority whatever to fo-ca a witness to produce documents; if he :efused to do so, he be per sonally punished, but the court had no means of reaching the documents themselves. Mr. WA KL E Y ivished, upon the su'ject of the lion. aNd Learned Gentleman's last observation, that a court had en power to compel the production of documents; to state a ease somewhat in point—that of the D,rehestr I.oL.ourers. Thcx, men were taken before a ma9-,ktrate. They were sei.t to gaol, and searched—their keys were taken frail consr:ll)l,.- ww; sent to their houst s—their koxps were opened, their p pers were taken out of them; and the papers so taken fu..- aished the ground of the allegations against them. Nov, ready, if they were to have justice at all let them have even handed justice— (Hear, hear)—and let not an Orange societ, because it was headed by a Duke, have a preference over a secret society which was headed by village labourers.--( Hear. ) Mr. SCARLETT could not allow the resolution to pa. , s without protesting against it, on account of the principle which it involved. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL entirely coocurred in the present motion ; if the papers were private, Colonel Fairma, was bound to produce them, because they were relevant to the investigation. Mr. AGLIONBY remarked that the amendment of tie Hon. Baronet was highly objectionable, however plausible is might at first sight appear. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON supported the amendment. Colonel PE RCE VA I, had told the witness that he ougla to produce every document connected with the Orange insti tutions of a civil or a military character. As to the compari son made by the Hon. Member for Finsbury between this case and that of the Dorsetshire labotirers, he could only wish that the Hon. Gentleman would institute his comparison between the case of those men and that of some really illegal society. The Orange societies were perfectly legal ; if they were other wise there were plenty of - individuals perfectly ready to bring those concerned in them to the bar of justice. They were, however, not illegal. Mr. HUME asked who said so? Colonel PERCEVAL replied that he did—they were i„ no wise contrary to the law, and neither the declaration of the Hon. Member for Middlesex, nor that of any one else, should convince him that they were so, until the opinion of the competent judges of the land had been given to that effect. He wished that the motives and proceedings of all secret so cieties would bear the light as well as the Orange societies. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN thought that they ought to re quire the production of the book in question from the present witness—( Hear)—but if he did not produce it, they ought then to punish him for contempt. Tie course of sending to his house to seize his papers was highly improper. The House then divided, when there appeared For the original motion ...... . Against it Majority for the motion . 69 24 ...-45 The question was then put, that Colonel Fairman be called in and informed of the resolution to which the House had come. Colonel SIBTHORP hoped that it would go forth to the country, that although the Right Hon. Gent. (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had agreed to the amendment of the Hon. Baronet the Member for the University of Oxford ( Sir R. Inglis) the Hon. Gent. opposite had thought proper to oppose it, and to affirm the original resolution ; and that the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Home Department, knowing that that agreement had been come to, and not wishing on that account to be seen in the ranks of those supporting the original mo tion, had actually bolted out of the House.—( Laughter. ) Lood PALMERSTON said that was precisely the reason for which he had withdrawn ; he had learnt that his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had expressed an intention of acceding to the amendment, and not wishing to be seen voting with the Hon. and Gallant Officer opposite, he had withdrawn. Mr. BORTH WICK said the Hon. Baronet the Member for the University of Oxford, had left the House upon the understanding that the amendment would be agreed to. Sir E. CODRINGTON had not felt that he was bound by any understanding to which the Chancellor of the Exche quer might come. Mr. SHAW said that he for one would assert that the Chancellor of the Exchequer declared, " I will not object to the amendment." All then that they at his side of the House maintained was, that it was a very unusual course to have a declaration made by the leader of the House—(A cry of " Oh I")—at all events by a leading Member of the Cabinet— departed from. He never before knew an instance of Hon. Members on the other side of the House going to a division under similar circumstances.—( Hear.) Mr. SCARLETT felt bound again to protest against the dangerous principle which would be established by allowing the private desk of an individual to be ransacked. Mr. G. F. YOUNG declared, after the fullest considera tion which he was capable of giving the matter, that this book had no claim whatever to the character of a private document. —( Hear, hear.) He had therefore voted, and he should con tinue to vote, for a proposition which vindicated the right of the House, for a refusal to observe which no invasion of a private right could be urged as a justification.—( Hear.) Mr. JACKSON begged to enter his protest in the strongest manner against what, in his opinion, was a most unjust and tyrannical proceeding. After a few words from Mr. PEASE and Mr. C. PELHAM, the question was then agreed to. Col. Fairman having been called in, The SPEAKER addressed him as follows—lt is my duty to inform you that this House is of opinion that you should produce the book which has been alluded to in your evidence, and which you declined to produce before the Committee. Without adverting to the foundations for that which you con sidered as a point of honour obligatory on yourself, I am con fident that you will feel that, when the House has come to th,_ resolution that you are bound to produce Olt book, you will forthwith comply with the opinion of this House, because you must be aware that your first duty, and one w hieh supersede: all private and personal feelings of your own, is to yield prompt obedience to the pleasure of this House. You may now withdraw. CONTRACTS. Mr. WARBURTON, on the Order of the Day being read for the House resolving itself into a Committee, moved the con sideration of the petition of Silas Pearse (presented on the 17th of August), complaining of the conduct of Government, in February last, in relation to a contract for the supply of lime stone to the Breakwater at Plymouth. Lord ASHLEY was of opinion that so important a pro position ought not to be brought forward at that late period of the session. Besides, the Gentleman (Mr. Dawson) who was chiefly implicated in the charge against the late Government, was now in Ireland, and could not be prepared to make any defence before the proposed Committee in a shorter space of time than ten days. Mr. WARBURTON observed that there was quite suffi cient time to have this Committee appointed, and for Mr. Dawson to attend it. Mr. SHAW—Mr. Dawson could not be here in a week's time. It was very probable that before he could come to Lon don Parliament would be prorogued. He was opposed, too, to the appointment of a Committee at this late period of the session, when it was almost impossible that one could be fairly selected. Mr. HUME expressed his surprise that when the malver sation of a public functionary was the question to be sub mitted to the consideration of the proposed Committee, the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Ashley), during whose con tinuance in office, as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, the ascribed breach of duty was said to have taken place, should have objected to the motion of the Hon. Member for Bridport. In his opinion the Lords of the Admiralty were the most deeply interested in the investigation which it was intended to institute before the Committee, for it was scarcely possible that the Seeretary should have signed the order which formed the subject of the petition which had al ready been presented without the assent of the Lords of the Admiralty.—( Hear.) _ _ Lord ASHLEY was certainly astonished that this subject was not brought to an investigation at an earlier period of the session. He would say now, however, that he was perfectly willing to take all responsibility that could fairly be attached to him on himself, and to abide by the decision even of the Hon. Member for Middlesex as judge.—(Hear.) Mr. WARBURTON had postponed his motion at an early period of the session for a considerable time, in order to ac commodate the Noble Lord ( Ashley.) Captain PE C HELL was old enough to recollect that on one occasion Mr. J. Wilson Croker turned round on Sir Joseph Yorke, and declared' that he, as Secretary, was only the servant of the Admiralty. He did not think then, that it was any ground for refusing the appointment of the Com mittee that the Secretary to the Admiralty was absent in Ire land, when the Lords of the Admiralty must be prepared to meet the charges intended to be brought against them. The House then divided, when there appeared For the original motion Against it iz Majority for the Committee --47 The following Committee was then appointed : Mr. Warburton, Lord Ashley, Mr. Charles Wood, Lord Vis count Lowther, Admiral Addam, Mr. Alderman Thompson, Sir Robert Price, Mr. G. F. Young, Mr. Wallace, Mr. G. R. Ro binson, Mr. Bonham Carter, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Thornely, Mr. Barham. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS (IRELAND) BILL. On the second reading of this Bill being moved, Colonel PERCE VAL said that this - Bill declared in its preamble that its object was to assimilate the practice in Ire- Lend, e .eistration, to that pursued in Eng-l.nal. Now, one decided and unnecessary deviation from the law as established in England was, that in Ireland the power of ap pointing Revising Barristers was ,by this Act vested in the Lord Lieutenant. In England that poWer was placed in the hands of the Judges; and - so different was the principle in tended to he acted on in this respect in Ireland, that such a variant .e in the practice of both countries must of itself re move the opinion which- might-be made on the minds of those who were contented. with the. wording of the title of the Act. He objected especially to the last clause, as altering the nature of the beneficial interest, which had been settled by the Re form Bill. The measure might, by considerable alteration, be made a good one ; hut it appeared to him to be much too late in the session to enter upon such an undertaking. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the Bill, and hoped it would go unanimously into Committee. That some amendment in the existing system was necessary was generally allowed. The registry could not be in worse hands than those of the Revising barristers. He strongly reprobated the interference of politi cal feeling with judicial functions in Ireland ; but it was a good feature of the Bill that it gave the final appeal on the subject to the Judges, instead of its being brought to that abominable tribunal, which must soon' e abolished, an Election Committee of the House of Commons. The alleged assimilation to the practice of England, which the Gallant Colonel proposed, would be in fact the very reverse of assimilation. He hoped the Bill would be allowed to go into Committee, and that it would be there rendered a perfect measure. Mr. F. FRENCH hoped that the electors for counties in Ireland would be allowed, as in England, to vote in districts. He now knew instances in which tenants on his brother's es tate were obliged to go five and twenty miles to vote ; and in the county of 'Tipperary the distances were still greater. -Mr. SHAW denied that the Judges in Ireland were political partisans. Not half of them agreed with his (Mr. Shaw's) side of the House. The Hon. and Learned Member for Dub lin, with great inconsistency, however, praised the Bill because it gave the final appeal to the Judges. He ( Mr. Shaw) con curred in the principle of the Bill, and would vote for its going into a Committee ; in which, among other amendments, it was his intention to propose that whereas the electors for the Uni versity of Dublin now paid it annually to keep their names on the register, they should henceforward (the University being sufficiently rich) pay 11. only once in seven years. After some further discussion, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice, that on going into Com mittee, he would move to insert a clause to the effect " That no person shall be allowed to remain in the registry as a free man in any city or borough in Ireland, admitted since 1831, unless his right can be enforced in a court of law." LANDED SECURITIES (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON moved the Order of the Day for the House resolvin g itself into Committee on this Bill. Mr. Sergeant L YNCH moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be submitted that day six months. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON defended the Bill which he had introduced, in concurrence with the opinions of the principal legal authorities in Ireland. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the Bill. It was an attempt to extend to Ireland the provisions of the most mischievous measures that ever passed in that House. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the Bill, as he thought ti.e provisions of the measures to which it referred were extremely injurious, and ought to be repealed. Mr. PEASE said that whether he considered the ques tion in an Irish or an English point of view, he felt bound to support the Bill. Col. PERCEVAL opposed the Bill. He thought that Irish trustees and Irish capitalists should be allowed to vest their money in English securities. Mr. Sergeant O'LOUGHLIN objected to the Bill, on the ground that it was merely a partial repeal of the former Act. Had it been a total repeal of that measure, he would have supported it. The House divided— For the motion For the amendment Majority —2l The Bill was consequently lost. The House resumed and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The Spirit Licences. Bill went through Committee. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, an, the House adjourned at a quarter to One o' Clock. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY. ISLINGTON MARKET BILL. (Before Lord Brougham, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Devon, Earl of Radnor, Lord Bexley, Lord Cal thorpe, Lord Abingdon, the Bishops of Hereford and Bristol.) Lord BROUGHAM, as Chairman, took his seat on the Woolsack. At twelve o'clock Mr. Justice Littledale and Mr. Baron Park entered. It was arranged that the opinion of the Judges should be given on the remaining five questions sub mitted to them on the 15th of July last, with respect to the Islington Market Bill. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE then proceeded to read the said questions (which were given in our paper of July 15, on which they had at the time delivered their opinions in the affirmative on the first and second, requiring to con sider the remaining three.) On these three the Learned JUDGE now said that they were prepared to give their opinion, and that the ques tions Nos. 3 and 4 might be treated as one. (In read ing this opinion the Learned Judge addressed his voice to the Woolsack, and the greater part of what he said was inaudible at the bar.) This condensed question was, in effect, whether a market, not confined by metes and bounds, but generally being a market in the district of Black-acre, would oblige the grantee to afford conve nience to buyers and sellers ; and in case he did not, whether such a breach of public duty would operate as a forfeiture, upon which a scire facias could be granted to abo lish the patent ? The Judges could not say whether the grantee would not be liable to indictment for a misde meanour, and if so it would be a sufficient defence against any action he might bring. The only consequence of this was, that when the grant remained unrepealed, the incon venience did not operate in law as a justification for a grant of a new market. As to the sth question which spoke of a market without metes and bounds, a consideration arose as to the quantity of land—as to whether the market could be enlarged ? Now, if there were no power to enlarge the space so occupied as a market, might the Crown take such steps for a new market by issuing a writ of ad quod damnum The Judges were of opinion that the new market could not be granted to supply the surplus accommodation re quired by the public, but such an enlargement of the old might be granted as would not be injurious to it. Lord BROUGHAM said that the Judges bad given their opinion that a grant from the Crown could not touch an Act of Parliament, but the remedy sought was by a new Act, which got rid of the difficulty. In fact, nothing was more common than to deal with old Acts of Parliament in this manner. The only question really for consideration was whether certain right existed, and whether it was ex pedient to interfere with them by a new law. The best foundation for a new Act is that there was no other way of effecting the benefits sought to be conferred on the public. It was, however, a question for compensation ; btit under the view which the other House had taken of the matter there might be some difficulty in arranging that point. This would, however, be matter for future consideration. The Earl of DEVON expressed his view of a difficulty which arose in one part of the subject, which was, whether it was not incumbent on the promoters of the measure to do all in their power to put the law as it stands in force with respect to the old market, and endeavour to make the most of that limited space. It was a question whether the space was so limited that nothing effectual could be done to enlarge it by the owners. Lord BROUGHAM said that it by no means followed that the Committee were to take for granted that the facts as sumed in the questions submitted really existed. For what he knew they might be quite contrary to the true state of the case, but they were capable of proof. The Marquis of SALISBURY thought the opinions of the Judges must be taken to be fatal to the Bill in the present session. Lord BROUGHAM was concerned to hear that it was understood the opinions of the Judges were conclusive against the establishment of the new market. He knew nothing of the provisions of the intended Bill except what he gathered at the bar during the argument, having never attended the private business before the Committee, as their Lordships knew, and intentionally abstained from entering on the business till it assumed a judicial shape. He did not think that the Committee were bound by the assumption of the illegality of the new measure, for the Bill might most consistently be passed on the grounds of its necessity for public purposes. The Marquis of SALISBURY declared himself a supporter of the Bill. Lord BROUGHAM—As the Parliament would very soon be either adjourned or prorogued, hoped it would be under stood they would begin the next year with the Bill where they now left off. ____ The Earl of DEVON expressed his opinion that the Com mittee of next year were perfectly justified in taking the evidence of this year as far as it had gone, without putting the parties to additional expense. Lord BROUGHAM said that this was the third time the parties had come there. This was cruel. They ought to treat both sides fairly. After some further conversation it was agreed to report thereon to-morrow night, and in the mean time to make no order entry on the journals. The House then adjourned during pleasure. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The proceedings in the House of Lords have created the greatest sensation throughout the country. At the meeting of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, yester day, and the meeting at Birmingham on Tuesday, petitions were agreed on to the House of Commons, entreating them to make a stand against the Lords. The inhabitants of Loughborough have also met and adopted a similer pie Hee. eisiion, signed by 500 inhabitant h ouse h o ld ers o f Martin's-in-the- Fields, has been presented, but the day of meeting is not yet fixed. Meetings ate announced for the Ward of Bishopsgate, for South Shields, Gateshead, Droghe da, Galway, Waterford, Carrick-on-Suir, &c. In short, the whole country is now in movement. The Lords may be said to be, in a great measure, strangers to their fellow -countrymen ; and one of the evils insepa rable from this state of things is, that without strong demonstrations of popular feeling, the Peers will never believe that the people are in earnest. They were told, during the struggle for the Reform Bill, that the people were indifferent to that measure ; and such was the strength of their delusion, that the whole country was kept in constant agitation for months, to satisfy their Lordships that the nation was not disposed to be plundered by them in time to come, as they had been plundered in by-gone times We sincerely beli e v e that many of th e i r Lordships have been tempted to enter on this insane contest with the nation, by a persuasion that the people of England are no longer alive to their liberties—that they regret the passing of the Reform Bill, and fondly look back on the period when the boroughmongers took on themselves the cares of legis lation, and holding the strings of the public purse. But the Lords have played their part ; they have been warned—repeatedly warned—of the danger of the course they were pursuing, to no purpose. The qmrs tion which the people of England now ask is, how will the Commons act ? The answer to this question must depend on the opinion which therepresentative:; enter tain of the feelings of the people themselves. If there be a representative who believes that the people look with satisfaction on the present assumption, on time part of the Lords, of a right to trample on the House of Commons—that representative will of course be disposed to crouch to the Peers, and to accept with all humility as a boon, the Corporation Reform Bill and any other important measure, however altered and disfigured. But every representative who has any re spect for his constituents, and wishes to stand well in their good opinion, must see that the time for hesita tion is past—that the Peers have passed the Rubi con—and that if the Commons do not now make a stand, the Lords will for ever be in the ascendant. Half measures and a wavering policy are always dan gerous at c r iti ca l p er i o d s . The Lords have fairly placed themselves in opposition to the Commons, and afforded a demonstration that the two branches of the Legislature cannot move together in harmony. The tune is come for trying whether this state of things is to be cured be the Commons yielding to the Lords, or the Lords yielding to the Commons. Were the Re presentatives of the people to falter at this moment, the whole country would arraign them of basely be traying their posts. A division among Reformers would be certain victory to the Lords. There is no division among the Lords, said the Duke of Welling ton, neither must there be any division among the Commons. If the Representatives of the people he sitate, they are undone. In private life it is seldom found politic to submit to encroachment ; for one encroach ment generally leads to others; and a prudent man, when he finds that he must resist sooner or later, usually de termines at once what course he should pursue. In public affairs there is less discretion than in private. The Representatives of the people ought to consider that the affairs of the nation are now committed to them—that they have, therefore, a sacred duty to dis charge. If they falter at this time—if they prove themselves timid or faithless guardians of the sacred deposit, heavy will be their responsibility. We will not libel the people by assuming that they are indif ferent to the struggle. We know that they are not. W'e trust they will be spared, by the decided conduct of their Representatives, the necessity of demonstra tions which might be incompatible with the ordinary pursuits of the country. Of this, however, we are sure, that any indecision on the part of the House of Commons at this critical time—any appearance of a victory of the Lords over the people —any resignation to the most wanton and capricious exercise of power ever known in the history of legislation, must be a pro lific source of calamity to the country. The time has come when, for the sake of the peace of the country, it must be determined whether the English are to be a free people, or once more the slaves of a Borough mongering Oligarchy. Were the people to submit to such a rule, they would become the scorn of the civi lized world. But the very supposition is an insult. The people will not tamely abandon their rights ; and they expect their Representatives to stand by them.— Morning Chronicle. The danger of legislating on false or defective data, or what is about equally imprudent, on no data what ever, or what indeed is worse than all, of legislating upon the dishonest speculation of what may turn out most profitable to the views and purposes of a political faction, was, as we observed yesterday, pretty clearly shown by Lords Haddington and Lyndhurst on Mon day evening, when grounds were stated by both their Lordships for gravely condemning the operation of the Scotch Municipal Reform Bill, as well from the effects which had actually flowed from it in the important city o f Glasgow, where men of character and independence had been thrown out of the Corporation, and bankrupts and paupers been substituted for them, as from the opinions adverse to the principles of the Bill, which had been delivered by respectable Whig lawyers, acting as Commissioners of Inquiry into the Scotch Corpora tions, but which opinions, unfortunately, had not been obtained until a very recent period—that is to say, two years after the Bill, which ought, properly speak ing, to have been founded on them, had become the law of Scotland. Another amendment, moved by Lord Lyndhurst in the English Corporate Reform Bill on Monday, has made a considerable sensation. The effect of it was, first, to perpetuate the office of alderman ; and second, to prolong the interest of the individual in the office to the period of his natural lif e . Now, as we have never, from the beginning, had any motive for the concealment of what we thought and felt respecting this very important Bill, nor ever refrained from the expression of it, we will take the liberty, and. not for the first time, to question the policy of this last amendment, creating aldermen for life. Lord Brougham's Bill of 1833 enacted, in the most distinct terms, That the office of alderman should be for life. But if we were then, as we always have been, extremely sceptical with regard to such a regulation, it is clear that the adoption of it by Lord Brougham would have added little to our confidence in its utility or justice. The undue longevity of power in the same individual, where there are serious trusts and duties to be executed, is almost equivalent to self-election—that especial and prevailing vice which it has been the re , cognized object of the Municipal Reform Bills to era dicate. lie who holds for life is divested of all that species of responsibility which turns on the fear of being out-voted another time. To seat any portion, therefore, of the members of a common council high and dry in arm-chairs, without the least fear of ex pulsion while they live, seems inconsistent with the declared principle of this Bill, which is no other than free election. It may be said that the House of Peers is a little responsible. This is a mistake : the Lords, as great proprietors, have the strongest in terest in doing nothing which shall incite popular cla mour, but the mere dispensers of funds . not their own, are subject to no control, if elected for life. We are the more frank in . avowing our doubts upon this question, because of our entertaining an impression to the full as strong against the inexpediency of annual re-elections and against making three years the maximum term for every member of a Corporation, as against the essential ir responsibility of a municipal office held for life. Why not take a middle course, and name seven years as the interval between two elections for aldermen ? That would afford stability sufficient, and with it would main tain some useful check upon the vagaries of selfishness and corruption. It might also be provided that no in dividual should hold the office of alderman after he passes the chair. This would secure to him a fair and reasonable object of ambition, and for an honour able termination of his aldermanic functions ; he might also, if the election followed, be re-chosen. The consequence of such a rule would be, the election of one alderman every successive year. Upon the grounds above enumerated, we should rejoice to find the alteration of Monday last reconsidered on bringing up the Report of the Committee. It will be becoming in the House of Lords to give the Ultra-Radicals of the Commons as little excuse or pretence as may be fur ta.king any violent course against the measure on its final return to that assembly.—Times. Both upon principle, and as admirers of consistency, we must say that, approving as we do, the amendment introduced into the Municipal Reform Bill by the Lords, requiring a certain qualification in persons who are hereafter to be elected Magistrates or Members of To;vn Councils, it is not less fit that if there are any such persons now holding office not so qualified, that they ought to cease so to be. In a few words, that what is considered to be right for the future members, should be imperative upon the present. A contrary principle, or rather practice, is, we believe, much too general ; and even Members of the Legislature are not unfrequently known to possess merely a temporary qua lification, sufficient to justify their election and the oath which they are required to take, and which they afterwards return to the friendly hand which thus ena bles them to comply with the letter, while they violate the spirit of the Statute. In regard, therefore, to these Town Councillors and Aldermen, we should be inclined to go further than the Lords have suggested. We should require the qualification not only for all present and future Members, now and at the time of their election; but its decided continuance, and that when ever, from bankruptcy or other causes, a person hold ing either of these offices ceases to possess the qualifi cation, he should ipso fizclo cease also to keep the office. The eitiz , .ms of London have long had before their eyes striking instances of the necessity of such a regulation as this, and Parliament, now that it has the opportunity, will not do its duty if it neglects to remedy so obvious a defect.--Morning Herald. Grouse shooting commenced on Wednesday last. Generally speaking, birds are plentiful and very strong on the wing.—Leeds Intelligencer. CAPTAIN BACK.—We learn from the Montreal Gazette that George Simpson, Esq., the Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, arrived on the 14th ult. at Laclime, from the interior, accompanied by J. D. Cameron, Esq., one of the wintering partners of the concern. These gentlemen brought favourable reports of the state of the country—it was remarkably healthy, and the Indians peaceable and well-dis posed. When in the interior Mr. Simpson received a letter from Captain Back, dated at Fort Reliance, near the Great Slave Lake, the 7th of December last. The Gallant Officer and his whole party were, at the date of writing, in the enjoy ment of good health and spirits. Captain Back was expected down early in the season on his return to England. Thursday night, the house of Lady Louisa Harvey, at Chigvvell, - Essex, was robbed of the following property : A French gold clock, set in blue imitation china, with the names " Howell and James" on the dial ; one shell stand for phosphorus, with gold boxes on each side ; a green and gold pen-handle, tipped with a white cornelian stone, engraved with a stag ; a gold and black pen-handle ; several gold seals —one a red cornelian, with crest of a bull's head, and arms three gauntlets, motto " Ne vile Fano ;" one gold seal, with white cornelian, engraved "J. M. H. ;" some of the seals have for arms three crescents, and for crest a hand trying to touch the moon; a gold ring, with a red cornelian seal, engraved with a horse ; a silver seal, engraved " L. H.," having a mother o'pearl handle ; a silver figure of Neptune, ten inches high, with an oval agate cup on his head ; a gilt cup, mounted on a flat black marble slab; and a small silver chased candlestick. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BERMONDSEY. —Last night great destruction of property by fire took place on the extensive premises of Messrs. Husband aid Co., leather-cur riers and skin-.dyers, Long-acre, Bermondsey, which for a time placed the neighbourhood in great danger. A labouring man, who was passing down Staple-street, at the back of the premises, discovered smoke issuing from the back warehouses, and in a few seconds the flames burst forth with great fury. A strong body of the M division of police hastened to the spot, and in a few minutes the London Establishment engine, from Union-street, arrived, followed by the West of England and several others, by which time an abundant supply of water was obtained, and the damage was confined to Messrs. Husband's premises. The stock and buildings are consumed. They are insured. How the fire commenced is not known. Fortunately no lives were lost. A desperate gang of thieves from Camber well fair was in attendance, but the police prevented them from committing any depredations. DETERMINED SUICIDE. OF A BOY.--An inquest was yesterday held at the Clerkenwell Workhouse, on the view of the body of George Leverett, aged eleven years. The de ceased boy was an inmate of the workhouse, and having ab sconded, was, on being brought back, punished by the school master, who had caused a log to be affixed to his leg, and the inscription " Runaway" to be fastened on his back. The boy said that sooner than wear it he would kill himself, and going to the schoolmaster's desk, he seized hold of a penknife, and thrust it into his throat, turning round the handle at the same time. A medical gentleman having been called in to exa mine the wound, found that the upper part of the windpipe was penetrated, and that some of the arteries near the root of the tongue were cut. Feeling satisfied, from the quantity of blood in deceased's mouth, that the hemorrhage was descend ing into his lungs and stomach, he did all that he could to stop it; but his efforts proved of no avail, and he died at eight in the evening, from the internal bleeding. The Jury, after an investigation, which lasted upwards of five hours, returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity" declaring, at the same time, that they did not consider any blame to be attached to the parish authorities. On the boy's coming of age, he would have been entitled to a sum of between 2001. and 3001. - - THE LATE TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE AT KINS BURY-GREEN, NEAR EDGEWARE.—FUNERAL OF THE FOUR YOUNG GENTLEMEN (BROTHERS) WHO PERISHED.—On Satur day morning, about half-past ten o'clock, the bodies of the four brothers were removed from the farm of Mr. Warner, Black pot-hill, in two hearses, to the residence of their father at Mount Pleasant. On it being known that the removal was to take place a number of the inhabitants assembled to witness the melancholy ceremony. The eldest who perished, Mr. Charles Radcliffe Sidebottom, was by a former wife, consequently only half-brother to the three other youths. He was a convey ancing Barrister, and a gentleman of great accomplishments. He had lately returned from the West of England on a visit to his family. The remaining branches of the family consist of four daughters and two sons. The interment of the four ill fated young gentlemen took place yesterday in the interior of Kinsbury Church. Previous to the melancholy accident Mr. Sidebottom had no place of burial in the parish, and in conse quence a large vault was constructed by Mr. Chandler, of Church End, Hendon. Four hearses and three mourning coaches formed the procession ; in the latter were the relatives and fri=ends of the larr ented deceased brothers. The feeling and sympathy which was evinced on the afflicting occasion was of the most intense description. So acute has been the grief of Mr. Sidebottom that he was totally incapacited from attend ing the last mournful obsequies of his departed children, Dr. Foote having been in attendance upon him almost without an interval since the unfortunate catastrophe. The funeral was attended by nearly the whole of the gentry and respectable in habitants of Kinsbury and the adjacent parts, and from the sin gularly unprecedented nature of the calamity more than usual awe and solemnity were attached to the ceremony. THE KING'S LEVEE. The King, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, arrived in town at half-past one o'clock yesterday afternoon from Windsor Castle. His Majesty held a levee at St. James's, which was at tended by the Russian and French Ambassadors ; the Sardi nian, Prussian, Wurtemberg, Belgic, Bavarian, and Saxon Ministers ; the Austrian, Danish, Brazilian, and Hanoverian Charge ,d'Affaires ; the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Lord Pre sident, the Secretaries of State for the Foreign and Colonia l Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Secretary at War, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, the Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard, Lord Hill (Gold Stick in Waiting) , the Vice-Chamberlain, the Comptroller of the Household, Sic. The Duke of Rutland, the Hon. R. E Plunkett, M. P., the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Marquis of Ormond, and Earl Brownlow, presented addresses to his Majesty. His Majesty gave audiences to the Marquis of Conyngham, Lord Foley, Viscount Melbourne, Mr. Spring Rice, Lord Glenelg, Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Auckland, Marquis of Headfort, Hon. Colonel Lygon, Viscount Palmerston, Arch bishop of Canterbury, Earl of Albemarle, and Lord Hill. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD RACES, WEDNESDAY.
