during Commissions." As to the question whether the Lords Commissioners are to receive remuneration in addition to their salaries, we said that the an swer of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was neither definite nor satisfactory. He asserted boldly enough that no additional charge should be thrown on the public ; but he intimated, at the same time, if our re port be correct, that it might possibly be thought right and just to recompense the Lords Commissioners out of the salary heretofore paid to a Lord Chancellor. If so, we should like to know by what process o . arithmetic the Chancellor of the Exchequer pro-, e , that such recompense would not be an add charge upon the public. As long as no Lord Chancellor, there cannot be any possible pre text for paying a Lord Chancellor s salaryto any person. In that case we shoulc.. have expected that it would have reverted to +. l „ public, and become an item of saving in the ' e ublic expenditure. But if the Lords Commissi :,hers are paid out of that sum, which would, oth- e rwise; have been a clear saving to the pub lic, then we say such payment is an additional charge on tt.re public. We speak not now of the right of the LrAds Commissioners to a recompense beyond their 'official salaries ; we only wish to clear away the obscu rity in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer pur posely involves the question. Perhaps he only tries his hand in the art of financial mystification pre c,aratory to the Budget. The conversation on tliis subject ended, as our readers have seen, by Mr. narvey declaring that if the present state of things in Chancery continued, he should feel it his duty to submit a motion to the House on the su bj ec t. We hope no consideration of party politics will pre vent him from redeeming his pledge. True Parlia mentary independence is that which is free to attack the errors and misdeeds of any party in power, and will not sacrifice to a veneration for political nicknames the interests of the country. That there is very little of that sort of independence in the reformed House of Commons we are compelled to admit ; but we trust the growing dislike of the public for party politics will cause the stock of Parliamentary independence to in crease, so that public questions may be looked at and discussed according to their merits, and not judged by the fallacious standard of party principle. We may here observe, as connected with the question of the Chancery Commission, that we objected to the ap pointment of the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench as Speaker of the House of Lords, both on the ground that it necessarily gives the character of a Judge too much of a political cast, and that it must take away that Learned Judge from his proper busi ness in the Court of King's Bench. We know that the Whigs went farther than this on a former occasion, by making the Chief Justice of the King's Bench a Cabinet Minister. But we cannot allow them to plead gross violations of principle at a former time, in ex tenuation of less flagrant infringements of principle at the present day. In answer to our objection with re gard to withdrawing the Chief Justice from his proper duties in the Court of King's Bench, a Whig-Radical paper said—" It is notorious that the Lords, except for causes, sit less than an hour a day. Will that hour, after the King's Bench is up, interfere with the Lord Chief Justice's judicial duties ?" Logicians who make their own facts have a great advantage in argu ment. If the Lord Chief Justice gave an hour per diem to preside in the House of Lords after the rising of his own Court, it certainly would not interfere with his judicial duties, unless he caused the Court to rise before the proper time for that purpose. But how stand the facts ? A day or two after the logician had given to his own facts such an accommodating form, the following statement appeared in our paper : " Lord Denman left the Court of King's Bench shortly after four o'clock yesterday to attend in the House of Lords, and as the Court did not rise until seven o'clock, the suitors were deprived of his judgment on the Bench for nearly three hours." This happened, too, be it observed, the day but one before the last day of term. Do we blame Lord Denman for this ? Certainly not ; but we blame the King's Ministers, who have most improperly throe n upon him an office which is incompatible with the ef fective discharge of his dirties in the Court of King's Bench. There is no public functionary we believe less disposed to neglect his judicial duties than Lord Denman ; but the labours of the Chief Justice of the King's Bench are sufficient for any man. It is not, therefore, his fault that the Court of King's Bench, as well as the Court of Chancery, suffers by the pre sent unprecedented Whig arrangement ; we say un precedented, for although the Great Seal has been in Commission before—a fact which we could not and did not question—yet we deny that it was ever so put in Commission as it is at present. If novelty be any merit, we admit that a Commission so con structed is as original as it is absurd.---Morning Herald. The Standard thinks that a departure from the usual mode of publication should take place in the case of the speech of Sir Robert Peel at the dinner in Mer chant Tailors' Hall. This " Sovereign Speech" might, it is said, be dispersed by hundreds of thousand., for a sum not much exceeding one hundred pound,.. Printers, booksellers, &c., like other tradesmen, must live by "their trade, but an extraordinary object justifies a departure from customary means. Our Contemporary, having great faith in the efficacy of placards, wishes that it may be placarded ; it may be printed both for book reading and for post ing, as a placard, at less than one farthing. " This (says our Contemporary) is the style of printing which we wish to see introduced, for the purpose of laying moral and political truths before the people." It strikes us that the only people whom the speech was calculated materially to improve, are not in so destitute a condition as to be unable to purchase it at a rate somewhat above one farthing. The Tories have hitherto placed their reliance on the House of Lords and the Court, and the chief novelty in Sir Robert Peel's speech was the recommendation to them to rely chiefly on the House of Commons, and to avoid placing the House of Lords in col lision with the House of Commons. His speech was a lecture to the House of Lords and the leading Tories. If the Lords take his advice, they will not a second time act the foolish and fac tious part they acted last year. They threw out the Irish Tithe Bill, leaving the clergy of the Irish Church without provision for their subsistence, and thereby hazarded the peace of Ireland. Earl Grey did all but go down on his knees to his brother Peers, entreating them to have some regard for the peace and welfare of the country, and not to oppose themselves unnecessa rily to public opinioh. Lord Brougham, in account ing for the very strange conduct of the House of Peers, observed, that the schoolmaster, who had visited all other classes of society, had not yet paid his visit to their Lordships. Sir Robert Peel has taken upon himself the functions of the school master. He tells their Lordships that the great struggle must be in the House of Commons. Those of their Lordships who are rich men will always possess influence in the House of Commons ; those who are not rich, will have little influence in returning Members to the Commons. We are not sure, however, that the House of Lords will gain much with the country by relying on the influence which they possess as Peers of Parliament, without regard to their property. The country is exceedingly jealous of pauper Peers : and it has been very generally sur mised that many of the late movements of their Lord ships have been directed more for the interest of these paupers than for the benefit of the community. A copy of a Conservative newspaper sent to every Peer, and to the rich Tories throughout England, would be sufficient for the purpose Sir Robert had in view, namely to instruct those who guide the opinion of the body. With regard to the people, it is not necessary to warn them against' collision with the Peers, and to place their principal reli ance on the House of Commons. The people wish to see beneficial measures adopted, and they will of course be delighted to see the Peers profit by the lesson read to them by Sir Robert Peel. As far as the people are concerned, the fruits of the advice are the great matter. But all the anxiety of the Standard is for the publication of the speech among the people. This cannot fail to excite a strong suspicion that the object of the speech was less to enlighten those to whom it was nominally addressed, than to humbug tle people. Mr. Peter Cunningham, in his very ingeni ous work on New South Wales, tells us that in con veying criminals to that colony, the greatest rogues were sure to plant themselves in his way with Bibles in their hands, which they seemed greedily to de vour, in order to deceive him into a belief of their piety, and thereby throw him off his guard. If we are to judge Sir Robert Peel from the con struction Nit on his speech by the Conservative papers, his object in giving such reaFonable coun sel W the Lords, was not to benefit them, but to hum- I'dug the people. They say, " Look at this saint Sir ' Robert—he has given us most excellent advice—re turn everywhere Conservatives to Parliament, and you will find them as anxious for the removal of abuses as any Reformers can possibly be." Were the people to allow themselves to be deceived into indifference to the party from which they choose their Represen tatives, they might find that there would indeed be no danger of collision with the Lord 3, as a Tory ma jority in the House of Commons would prevent any measures being sent from that body against which the Lords would take any objection. The danger of collision is when really good measures are sent up to the Lords from the Commons However, the people of England are about to have a practical comment on Sir Robert Peel's speech, which will enable them to decide whether its object was to benefit the Lords, or to deceive themselves. In a short time there will be sent up to the Lords a Bill for improving the Municipal Corpo rations of England and Ireland, and a Bill for plaoing the Church of Ireland in a state compatible with the welfare of the population of that country. We shall see whether the Lords have benefited by Sir Robert Peel's lesson. If they have not, and throw out the Bills, the people may be assured that the advice to the Conservatives was nominally addressed to them, but really intended to throw the people off their guard, fgecßio t on h orfirooorni a mrnoi t :oevszur,ereist filacosMembersniirseodmoi.nnedPeelßeformers, sof, etant hnfihng h ecdeni o yd s aa t tl Hs i al hlwdeeaoimtbl House l o lTui ses es rosaoeei Tories nso l i elnoiy sinfsi reformnacmtcroiacolo:t Church heor m cnemi a l 1 majorityyyoi al ,tniosßeformers in_eit House Si oe e t itri h aomio e tf ofee r.cr guise reformoui Re formers i nbi e s lgi yei: Nothing can be more amusing than the elaborate. efforts of some of our contemporaries to reconcile Lord John Russell, and the party of which he is the leader, to the change in his Lordship's Parliamentary position which has followed his accession to office. Lord John has gone to Stroud, in the hope of being elected to supply the vacancy in the representation of that respectable manufacturing town, created for his special accommodation by the retirement of Colonel Fox, and a hope is expressed that his Lordship will be permitted, at Stroud, to walk quietly over the course. It is discovered, accordingly, that it is a far greater ho nour to be Member of the House of Commons for Stroud than for the southern district of Devon, and that the Noble Lord ought to be exceedingly grateful to the Devonshire electors for having so kindly rejected him. There is much wisdom in this agreeable optimism, and we should be sorry to interrupt whatever comfort it is calculated to afford. We only lament - that the superiority of the seat for Stroud was not found out a week or two sooner, as in that case Mr. Parker and his friends would have been spared the trouble and expense of beating Lord John in the county of Devon. A fort night ago the electoral body in Devonshire was, we recollect, in the estimation of our contemporaries, a very enlightened and patriotic constituency, and these qualities afforded the most ample guarantee of Lord John's success. Now they are " the clods of De von," and the Noble Lord ought to be all pride and satisfaction, that, by casting him off, they have afforded him the opportunity of acquiring the pre eminent distinction of representing Stroud, which is " not only a new borough, but also in some respects a new town, having been greatly enlarged of late years; and few readers are, perhaps, aware of the impor tance that fairly attaches to the voice of its consti tuency." Our Whig contemporaries are, perhaps, how ever, a little hasty in thus overwhelming Stroud, and its 1,300 voters, with their encomiums. It is not yet quite certain that a successful opposition to the M nisterial leader, under Mr. O'Connell, of the House of Commons, may not take place at Stroud, in which case our contemporaries will have to lavish their enco miums upon Tavistock, or Totnes, or some other in• significant borough, at the expense of Stroud, as they now lavish their encomiums upon Stroud, at the ex pense of Devon. It would, at least, Lave been as well to abide the result of the election, which it cannot be denied that Lord John has taken all proper pains to secure by an early occupation of the field. His Lordship's friend, Colonel Fox, did not resign until every thing was duly prepared for his election. And his Lordship then stole away, to commence his can vass, having dexterously concealed his real purpose until that moment under the cloak of an infinite variety of other schemes to get possession of a scat. Upon the whole, the seat of Lord John Russell, in his own Reformed House of Commons, will be surrounded by a halo of glory.—Morning Post. The speech of Lord John Russell, at Stroud, in its manly tone, and honest straightforward exposition cf principles aid intentions, affords a splendid contrast to the duplicity, the affectation, and studied guile which characterized the harangue of Sir Robert Peel to the flattering minions who assembled around him at Mer chant Tailor's Hall. When Sir Robert saw before him an assembly of degenerate citizens licking the dust before him, and inflicting the leprosy of their adula tion on him, whom he in his soul despised, while he put on the semblance of equality with them, —well might he express his astonishment that, with such rottenness at its core, with such traitors in its bosom, London and its boroughs should return eighteen independent representatives, and not one tool of Toryism to represent them in Parliament. " I am disposed (said Lord John) to give educa tion to the Catholic as well as the Protestant. The Catholics are willing to abide by the Pro testants say they are not ? If by this means we con ciliate and govern without so large a military force, the empire will be stronger and better able to meet its enemies." " I shall (said he) do my bust to maintain the Established Church ; but it is not to be done by principles of civil inequality and religious distinctions." Enable the Catholics to judge which religion is the better, you will probably bring them nearer to Pro testantism, and not confirm them as Catholics. But the most important part of the speech and that wherein was included in a single line the only sound principle of Government, and a pledge grati fying to the friends of progressive improvement, and worthy of the Statesman and Philanthropist, was towards the conclusion, when he said, " My object is to keep pace with the improvement of the age and country.' This sentence embraces the whole secret of Government, as no Ministry can withstand the Re forms which are demanded by the enlightened wishes of the people. It was holding back from reform— coercing where they ought to have conciliated, and conciliating where they ought to have coerced, that shook the Grey administration to its downfall. The leading Ministers of the present Cabinet have profited by this experience, and must be convinced, as well from their unceremonious dismissal, as from their un gracious recall, that not only their own continuance in office, but perhaps the very salvation of the State, de pends on their pursuing with steadiness and unflinch ing determination, those reforms to their accomplish ment, in expectancy of which, the people reinstated them in power, and in consideration of which, the same people will bear them in triumph over all the opposition which base intrigue or besotted imbecility can marshal against them.—Morning Advertiser. A gentleman and a lady who were divorced on the 20th of February, 1835, again became man and wife on the 23d of February, 1835. This fact is a beautiful commentary on the American law matrimonial.—American paper. Accounts from Warsaw state that an iron railroad is about to be established between Warsaw and Dombrowa, a distance of 40 miles. The weather in Poland became so severe, and so much snow fell during Easter week, that the people were conveyed to church on sledges. The following anecdote shows the tact of shepherds in prognosticating changes of temperature. A rich propriet or , two leagues from Warsaw, was rejoicing at th e fi neness of the weather and the warmth of the first days of April. His shepherd announced that it would snow at Easter, and offered to bet year's wages against 30 sheep in support of his opinion. The tic alter was accepted, aad on the second day in Easter week the shepherd out into possession of his little flock. VICE-CHAN CERY COURT. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1835, once; but she was fully committed for trial, for the con cealment of the birth. A parish surgeon who had lost a finger in a post mortem examination, objected to examine the body of the child until he was remunerated for his services. He did not refuse for the sake of reward, but as a matter of prin ciple and right. FLIGHT V. BENTLEY. His HoNoun. this morning delivered judgment upon a point in this case, which was a bill to enforce a landlord's right against the equitable assignee of a lease. Nelson, who was lessee of the premises, granted an under-lease, which was ultimately deposited with the defendant by way of equitable mortgage. In 1822 Nelson became bankrupt, and his assignees sold and assigned his interest to Flight. The assignment bore date the 20th of July, 1832, and pur ported to convey the midsummer rent, which was then due. Of this rent, and of rent subsequently become due, the bill sought payment ; and an objection was taken for want of parties, on the ground that the assignee of a reversion is not entitled at law to sue for rent due before his assign ment, and that the assignees of Nelson ought to have been parties. His Honour was now of that opinion. The rent already due at the date of the assignment became severed from the inheritance ; it was a mere close in action ; and, so far as the bill sought payment of that antecedent rent, the assignees of the bankrupt ought to have been parties. The plaintiffs, therefore, waived that part of their claim. MOOR V. USHER. Mr. KNIGHT made the in this interpleader 1 suit for an injunction upon the plaintiff's bringing 4401. into Court, The subject of this cause, relative to Mr. Granby Calcraft's Divorce Bill, has been lately reported, and it will be recollected that 5001. had been deposited with the plain tiff by Mrs. Love, the mother of Mrs. Calcraft, for the payment of the Solicitors who were concerned on both sides in promoting the Bill. Mr. JACOB objected, on the ground that the whole arrangement was contrary to the policy of the law. Mrs. Usher, the administatrix of Mrs. Love, by her action , demanded payment of the whole 5001., and that claim could not he split into two. Mr. KNIGHT insisted that Mrs. Usher's demand could be split, or else he offered to bring in the whole 500/., and to make Sermon a party, and consent to treat the matter as if no payment had been made to him. His HONOVR was not satisfied with the last proposal, and desired to have some authority for dividing the subject of Mrs. Usher's action into two parts. The case consequently stands over till next term, upon the understanding that the trial is not to proceed meantime. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN• MANCHESTER-SQUARE.. William Hall, aged 38, and Martha Hancox were in dicted for stealing, upon the 26th of March, in the dwelling house of Mrs. Charlotte Collins, five diamond necklaces, three pairs of car-rings, two diamond ornaments, two brooches, two rings, one pair of bracelets, consisting of pre cious stones, several gold bracelets, and other articles, of the value of 3,0001., her property. Mr. ADOLPHUS, at some length, stated the case for the prosecution. Mrs. Collins—l am living at No. 26, Manchester-square. The two prisoners were in my service, the female had lived with me as lady's-maid for seventeen years ; the male prisoner had lived as butler for two years. In March my son was on a visit to me. The female prisoner slept in my room. The adjoining room was used as a dressing-room ; it led to the landing-place. On the 27th of March the property named in the indictment was safe ; the jewellery was in a box, which was kept locked, and placed in a drawer in the dressing-room. I kept the keys of the drawer and box in my possession. The female pri soner was always employed to put the jewels away after they had been used, and she was entrusted with the keys for that purpose. On the 27th of March I dined out, and the female prisoner, on my return home, took and put my jewels away. On the following day I went out about two o'clock, and returned about half-past five o'clock. The prisoner slept in my bed-room that night. The keys were in my pocket, which I left in the dressing-room. About three or four o'clock in the morning I was awoke by the prisoner, who was standing over me. She said, "Do not be frightened, there is somebody in the house ; I am sure there is, for I heard something fall in the dressing-room, and a scuffling noise." I immediately rose and proceeded to my son's bed-room on the same floor, and alarmed him. He instantly got up, and his wife opened the window, and called out—" Police." The prisoner told me that she had locked the dressing-room door. I discharged the two pri soners on the following day. Edward Tyrrell—l am an inspector of police. On the 3th of April I apprehended both the prisoners. I told Hancox that the housemaid had made a confes_ion, when she said," I can only say I did not have them." She then gave me the keys of her boxes. In one of them I found fifteen sovereigns, they were in a little case. In another box I found three bracelets. I afterwards apprehended Hall, whom I found at the corner of Duke-street. 1 said to him, " I suppose you know that Martha it is custody." He said, " Yes." I said, " You must consider yourself in custody." He replied, " Very well, lam very willing to go along with you." I then asked him if he was aware of Mary having made a confession. He said, " You mean Mary the housemaid?" I said, " Yes. She says that she and Martha packed up the jewels in two parcels, and gave them to you." He said, "My God, she can't say that." I then took him to the station-house and searched him, and found seven sovereigns, 19s. 6d. in silver, and 20. in copper. On the following morning I saw Hancox, and asked her, should I inform her sister? She said, " I don't wish it. Had I followed her advice I should not have got into this trouble." Thompson, a police constable of the D division, was ac quainted with Hall. I saw him in the cell in the station house, when I said, " This is a bad job." He asked me for my advice, when I remarked I could nat give any under such circumstances. He said, " I intend to tell all about it." I observed it was no use for him to do that, as Mary Sumpter had told all about it ; that she saw him take the jewels down Marylebone-lane. He said that was false, for he did not go so far as the lane with them. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. The Learned JUDGE said the prisoners had been con victed of a very serious offence, and the sentence, which he was not at present called upon to pronounce, would be a punishment over which he had no power or controul, but which vieuld be little short of pain and privation of the greatest amount for the remainder of their lives. In the course of the morning the Grand Jury returned true bills against Foster and Murphy for felony, and Patrick Carrol for a murder at Woolwich. NEW COURT. On the Jury coming into their box this morning, an ob jection was made by one of them to serving. The CoMMoN SERGEANT inquired the ground of die objection. The Juryman replied that his wife was dangerously He trusted that in common feeling he might be allowed in such an emergency to go home. COMMON SERGEANT—It IS out of my power to give you that permission, you having served on the Jury, but it is cer tainly an extreme case. You take my advice, " Steal out of Court unobserved by anybody."—(Laughter.) You shall not be called if it possibly can be avoided. The Juryman adopted the recommendation of the Judge, and was missed within five minutes. John Hartigan, aged 16, and Caroline Hayes, aged 18, were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Judith Macdonald, and stealing some tri vial articles of wearing apparel. In the course of the trial an Irish woman, named Har tigan, stood sp to give the male prisoner a character. RECORDER—Are you any relation to the prisoner ? Witness—No, your Honour, only a relation of friendship. RECORDER—Are you not his mother? Witness—No ; I'm only a relation to his father.—(Laughter.) RECORDER—What relation are you to the father ? Witness—l'm his wife, your Honour.—(Laughter.) REcoanml.--Then you're the boy's mother-in-law, and no relation. Witness—Thais the truth.—(Laughter.) Verdict—Not Guilty for both prisoners. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, a man named Davis, who keeps a second hand sale-shop in Marylebone-lane, was brought before Mr. HALLS, in the custody of Goddard, the officer, charged on suspicion of having received a portion of the jewels stolen from the house of Mrs. Collins, in Manchester-square, for the stealing of which, Hall, the butler to that lady, and his fellow-servant, the lady's maid, were tried yesterday at the Old Bailey. After hearing evidence, Mr. Halls thought there were no grounds for detaining the prisoner, and discharged him out of custody. Q UEEN-SQ UARE. Thomas Walker, driver of the hackney chariot, No. 1,056, was summoned for extortion on the accusation of Miss Maria Bishop, a young lady residing at No. 9, Pall Mall East, who stated that she hired the defendant's coach on Saturday morning at nine o'clock, in Oxford -street, near Rathbone-place, with orders to drive to Pall Mall East. On reaching the above address, the defendant demanded 25., which was paid, but he was told at the time that his fare was only Is. 6d. The MAGISTRATE fined the defendant in the mitigated penalty of 10s., and ss. 6d. costs. HATTON GARDEN. In the case of Jane Thomas, aged seventeen, charged with child murder, (the report of the Coroner's Inquest of which will be found elsewhere) the evidence was not consi dered sufficient to warrant a committal for the capital of- MARLBORO UGH-STREET. The coachman of the Dowager Lady Burgoyne yesterday summoned John Matthews, coachman to Captain Maxwell, before Mr. DYER, for having by negligent driving done considerable damage to the carriage of her Ladyship. Several unexceptionable witnesses on both sides were examined, and their evidence appeared to leave the matter in doubt as to which was the party in the wrong. A coachman, however, gave evidence so positively in favour of the complainant that Mr. Dyer, after admit ting that he had been previously greatly perplexed to decide betwixt such well balanced and respectable testi mony, fined the defendant one shilling, and the amount of the coachmaker's bill. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 13. The SPEAKER took the Chair at half-past three o'clock. Sir WM. FOLKE S presented a petition from Yarmouth against the Yarmouth Pier Bill. Mr. OSWALD presented a petition from James Kennedy, against the River East Navigation Bill. On the motion of Mr. BARNARD, the Deptford Pier Bill was read a third time, and some additional clauses added by Is ay of riders. The Hon. Gentleman also presented a petition from St. Paul's, Deptford, against the Greenwich Railway Bill. Mr. TANCRED presented a petition in favour of the Great Western Railway. Mr. E. A. SANDFORD took the oaths and his seat for West Somerset. Sir THOMAS BARING presented a petition from certain shopkeepers in Surrey, against the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Bill. Also a petition from several herring-fishery merchants, against certain clauses in the Impressment of Sea men Bill. _ _ Mr7HAWE S presented petitions against the Lord's-Day Bill ; and one praying for the pardon of the Dorchester la bourers. Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from Salford, against the Bill for abolishing Imprisonment for Debt. SCOTTISH CHURCH. Colonel LEITH HAY presented several petitions from Banff, Aberdeenshire, and Morayshire, against the grant of money to obtain additional Church accommodation for the people of Scotland. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. HE AT HCOTE presented a petition very numerously signed by the nobility, gentry, farmers, and graziers of the town of Boston and its neighbourhood, complaining of agricul tural distress. As the matter was to come under the conside ration of the House in the course of the next week, he would not trouble the House with any observations upon the petition at present. BEER HOUSES. The same Hon. Member presented two petitions from parishes in the county of Lincoln, praying for an' alteration in the law regulating beer houses. Sir GEORGE STRICKL AND had two petitions to pre sent upon the same subject, viz. against certain provisions of the Act of last session, viz., the amendment of the former beer bill. One of the petitions was from 450 retailers of beer in the West Riding of York, and the other was from persons frequenting those house, and contained 6000 signatures. They complained that whilst the beer houses were closed some as early as nine o'clock, and others as early as eleven o'clock, houses where more obnoxious spirits were sold, were allowed to remain open all night. The petitioners prayed that the beer-houses might be placed on the same footing as those kept by what are called licensed victuallers. Mr. A. TREVOR was decidedly opposed to the petition, and trusted that in the course of the present sessio►► he should be enabled to bring forward a measure he had long had in contemplation, to prevent beer being drank upon the premises. Mr. HARDY thought that all houses ought to be put on the same footing. Mr. HAWE S thought the provisions of the law, as they at present stood, were sufficiently severe. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. R. C OLBURNE presented petitions from Bath and Wells, praying the Houso not to interfere with respect to Church property ; also a petition from the licensed victuallers of Wells, for relief from the additional duty of 50 per cent ; and also a petition from Farringdon Without against the Im prisonment for Debt Bill. THE DORCHESTER UNIONISTS. Mr. ENV ART presented a petition signed by 15,000 inha bitants of Liverpool, praying for a remission of the sentence passed on the Dorchester labourers. The punishment of these unfortunate men had excited very great sympathy, as it was generally understood that they had sinned through ignor ance of the law. It was much to be lamented that the crimi nal law was not more generally known, and its anomalies ex plained away, and he knew of no case in which the House of Commons would be more justified in acting as the advisers of the Crown than the present. He trusted that the Commis sioners appointed to inquire into the state of the Criminal Law, would see the necessity of establishing a code which would be better understood, and more generally known among the people. SPIRIT LICENSES, Mr. EWART presented a petition, signed by nearly 2,000 inhabitants of Liverpool, praying for a repeal of the duty im posed last Session upon Spirit Licences : also a petition signed by nearly 4,000 inhabitants of Liverpool, praying for some legislative enactment for the suppression of crime and drunkenness. THE CHURCH. Mr. M'KINNON presented a petition from the town of Lymington, praying for the protection of the revenues and pri vileges of the Irish Church Establishment. Also a petition from Richrnc•nd,-in Surrey, praying for a Bill for the better observance of the Lord's Day. The lion. FOX MAULE presented two petitions from places in Scotland, in favour of a grant to the Scotch Church. Also a great number of petitions from parishes in Perthshire, Aberdeenshire, and Forfarshire, against the endowment of the Church of Scotland. Also a petition approving of the General Registration Bill, and suggesting some alterations ; and one from 422 of his constituents, complaining of agricultural dis tress, and praying relief. The Hon. FOX MAULS presented a petition signed by 422 inhabitants of Blairgowrie, Perthshire, in favour of the Appropriation as proposed by Lord John Russell, and praying that the House would immediately take steps to embody that proposition in a Bill. Sir W. FOULKE S presented a petition from Yarmouth, signed by 4,000 persons, against the proposed appropriation of Church Revenues to other than religious purposes. Lord E A STN OR presented a petition from the licenced victuallers of Hereford, complaining of the additional duty placed on licences. . _ _ Sir C. B. VE RE presented a petition from East Suffolk, praying for the introduction of Poor Laws in Ireland ; also one against the proposed appropriation of the Church Reve nues of Ireland. THE POOR LAWS. Mr. MILES presented a petition from Bristol in favour of the Poor Laws for Ireland. Mr. WALTER presented a petition from Newbury, praying, for the repeal of the New Poor Law Bill. The petitioners lamented that, instead of bettering the condition of the poor, the new law only deprived them of liberty. They complained also of the expense of erecting poor-houses, and the separation of man and wife, which latter act was deprecated by a high legal authority, who supported the measure. In addition to the inhabitants of Stoke- Poges, he was informed by Mr. Gray, of Newbury, that two of the Poor Law Commissioners were to explain, the manner in which they intended to admi nister the law, and they said that " most assuredly husband and wife would be separated." This was a violation of the laws of God and Nature. Major BE AUCLERK said if the Government did not re move that power out of the hands of the Commissioners, hum ble individual as he was, as an Englishman he should feel it a duty to bring the matter before the House, to put down such an unlawful and inhuman power.—( Cheers.) An HON. MEMBER presented several petitions from places in Northamptonshire, in favour of Church Reform. Mr. KENNEDY presented petitions from ♦arious places in Devonshire, for an amendment of the Poor Law Bill. TITHE COMMUTATION BILL. Mr. KENNEDY presented a petition from the Dissenters o f ----, in favour of Lord John Russell's Tithe Commuta tion Bill. Colonel VERNE R presented a petition from certain inha bitants of Armagh, praying the House, a s we un d erstoo d hi m , to appoint a Committee to inquire into th e s t ate an d di sc i p li ne of the monastic institutions of Ireland, and the establishments for Jesuits in that country. He also presented a petition from 13,000 inhabitants of the same county, praying for a bill to incorpate a company to superintend the making of a rail-way be tween the city of Armagh and Caledon in the county of Tyrone. - - -- -- -- - - LICENSED PUBLIC HOUSES. Mr. BUC%INGHAM presented a petition from the town of Kendal, praying for a measure to abate the number of houses licensed for the sale of spiritous liquors. The petitioners stated, that from their own experience they were enabled to state that the number of public houses was the chief cause of crime and immorality in the country, and they therefore implored the House to diminish the number of these houses, and to place those that may remain, under greater restrictions than at present. By so doing, the health and the morals of the people would be alike preserved, and depravity greatly decreased. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Major BE A UCLE RK presented a petition from the mer chants and shopkeepers of Southwark against the Bill brought in by the Attorney-General for abolishing imprisonment for debt. He was very happy to hear that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had consented to re commit the Bill, in order to have such improvements intro duced into it as might be deemed necessary. He also presented a petition from the same place, praying the discontinuance of military punishment in the army. CANTERBURY ELECTION. Mr. H. LUSHIHGTON presented a petition from, we understood, the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, stating that the a llegations as to their interference in the late election for that city were entirely false. :‘,[3O.LITION of r,llifil; 2 7oN:(.ll - INT FOIL DEBI BILL. Sir R. PEEL rose to present a petition, very numerously signed by a most respectable body of persons, calling them selves merchants, traders, and others, of the city of West minster, against certain parts of a Bill which had been brought in by the present Attorney- General, entitled a Bill for the facilitating the Recovery of Debts, and abolishing Imprison ment for Debt in certain cases. He believed the Bill had been referred to the consideration of a Select Committee, and that Committee had not yet made their report. Under these circum stances, to enter into any discussion upon the Bill, or upon its general principles, till that report was made, would be pre mature. Therefore, without saying a word that could pro mote any discussion upon the presentation of this petition, but merely calling the attention of the House to the fact that the peti tion emanated from a body of practical men deeply interested in the Bill, he would call their attention again to the allegations of the petition, when it was printed, as containing the opinions of those who were enabled to form an opinion well worthy of the consideration of the House.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The petitioners considered that the Bill would delay, rather than facilitate the recovery of debts ; they stated that the honest debtor, under the existing laws, had little diffi culty in obtaining all the relief to which he was justly en titled. He considered that the Bill deprived the petitioners of their main security ; and that the abolition of arrest and im prisonment for debt, without substituting some equivalent for the recovery of book debts, would be ruinous to the peti tioners. Under these circumstances they prayed the House not to give their assent to the Bill • and they prayed to be heard by their agents, and to have their witnesses examined before the Committee of the House. Without expressing any opinion upon the Bill, he begged leave to present the petition. Mr. CAR RITTHERS (as we understood) thought that the Committee ought to call before them practical men, as it was very important to have their evidence before making any report. He had presented petitions opposing the Bill, entirely because the Bill did not, in their opinion, afford any equiva lent to the trading community in taking away the coercion of imprisonment. Mr. C. PELHAM entered his protest against this Bill. He understood from the Hon. Member who had just sat down that the present Bill had been committed to a Committee up stairs, but that no evidence had been given by those parties in the country who were most aggrieved.—( Hear.) The grievance was that persons were not to have justice done at their own doors, but their rights were to be submitted to a tribunal under the management and control of persons who had not that knowledge of the subject which they ought to have. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that Hon. Members had fallen into some little mistake upon the subject. The Committee, according to the usages of the House, could not receive parole evidence. Mr. HUME was sorry that the Attorney. General was not present, as he might have removed many erroneous impressions that the present subject had not undergone sufficient investi gation. He thought the House would best consult its own interest and further this important measure, by allowing the petitioners to be heard. Mr. ROBINSON thought that no charge could be main tained against the members of the present Government of not attending to the interests of the public in intro ducing the present measure.---( Hear, hear.) All that the trading community asked was, that the House would, when it was abbut to abolish that power, to which individually he was friendly, give to them the power of recovering their debts. While they wished this they had no disposition to continue the practice of imprisonment for debt. At present the reco very of small debts was almost impossible, in consequence of the intricacies of the law. Sir F. POLLOCK was not disposed, in a matter of im portance like the present, to legislate without strict inquiry. To the details of the present measure he had great objections, but with its principle he was disposed fully to concur. He had heard with great satisfaction that the bill was to be farther considered, as he would be sorry to suppose that any thing connected with the Report of that Committee should not be open to general inquiry. From all he bad heard and seen, and as far as his experience served him as a guide, he should say that he would be sorry if the Bill did not undergo the fullest discussion in that House. By this means the honest debtors and creditors would be secured in obtaining that justice to which they were entitled. He begged to apologize for trespassing on the House, but as one of the Commissioners, he wished to place his sentiments upon record, as regarded the probable operation of this Bill.—( Hear, hear.) SCOTTISH CHURCH. Sir R. PE EL presented petitions from different parishes in Scotland in support of the Established Church of that country ; also a petition from a place iti Forfarshire against the appropriation of the Church revenues to other than Eccle siastical purposes. Mr. JOHN MAXWELL presented several petitions from Handloom Weavers, complaining of distress and praying relief. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in the absence of his Learned Friend, the Attorney-General, post poned his motion for the re-commitment of the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Bill to Friday next (as we understood the Right Hon. Gentleman). HIGHWAYS BILL. _ The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House upon the Highways Amendment Bill, Mr. Parma in the Chair. The preamble having been postponed, the clauses of the Bill up to 13 were agreed to without comment. On clause 14 being proposed, Mr. BENNETT wished that it should be amended by making the guardians of the poor, the guardians or inspectors of the roads in all parishes joined under that Bill. After a few words from Mr. LE FEVRE, the clause as it stood in the Bill was agreed to. The other clauses up to 22, inclusive, were agreed to, with verbal amendments. On the motion of Mr. JERVIS, clause 23 was postponed. Clauses 24, 25, 26, and 27, were passed with several verba amendments. Clause 28 was postponed. The various other clauses ware agreed to. PUBLIC CARRIAGES (METROPOLIS) BILL. Mr. Alderman WOOD moved the second reading of this Bill, and should afterwards propose that it be referred to a Committee up stairs. The SPEAKER called the attention of the House to the fact that this Bill was now in the possession of the House, by whom it had been read once, and was now proposed to be read a second time. But if it were after that to be referred to a Select Committee up stairs, in order to hear evidence on the subject, it might, in the insult, be so altered in its substance as not to remain at all the same Bill. He threw out these suggestions merely for the consideration of the House. Mr. WARBUitTON could not consent to the proposal made by the lion. Member to alter his Bill, after the second reading in a Select Committee. After a few observations from Mr. Jervis, Mr. Warburton, the Speaker, and others, the Bill was read a second time and referred to a Select Committee. Wood, Alderman Fremantle, Sir T. Tooke, W. Gladstone, T. Guest, J. Young, G. F. Chichester, J. I'. B. Heathcote, G. J. Stanley, E. Egerton, hord Fran. Hume, Joseph Maule, Hon. Fox Beaucicrk, Major litunphery, J. Whalley, Sir S. Biddulph, R.

Evans, Colonel Sibthorp, Colonel Stewart, P. M. Mackinnon, W. A. Ord, W. Captain PECHELL obtained leave to bring in a Bill to repeal several Acts now in force, relating to bread sold out of the city and liberties of the city of London, beyond the Bills of Mortality, and within ten miles of the Royal Exchange. EAST INDIA MARITIME SERVICE. Mr. ROBINSON, in pursuance of notice, moved that the two petitions (presented the 11th of March and the 18th of April) from certain maritime officers of the East India Com pany excluded from the compensation granted by the Act 3d and 4th of William IV., chap. 85, should be referred to a Select Commitee. As he did not contemplate any oppo sition to the motion, he would content himself by merely stating, that his object in moving for the Committee was to have it ascertained how far the spirit and meaning of the East India Act had been complied with in the case of the pe titioners. When the report was on the table it would be time enough to state what further intentions he might have. After a few words in support of the motion from Mr. Buck ingham, Sir S. Whalley, and Mr. Herries, Mr. PR AE D had no intention of opposing the motion, but while saying so, he thought it incumbent on him to state that the late Government would not, had they been in power, have taken the course which he understood the present were about to sanction, namely, that of acceding to the motion of the Hon. Member. As far as he had been able to investigate the sub ject, his opinion was that the motion could not, consistently with the interpretation of the Act, be acceded to. Under the provisions of the Act the Company were allowed to make compensation to their discharged servants, and the only controul the Government or the House had over their arrangements was contained in a stipulation that every resolution embodying a grant of money should lie on the table of the House of Commons for two months before it became law. This prudent arrangement was framed to prevent the Company from squandering the money of the people of India ; and the House he was sure would see the great advantage of abiding by it. The Com pany, then, having this power to make compensation, proposed a certain scale, which, having been considered by the pro prietors as too small, they at a general treeing proposed and carried a resolution' suggesting a much larger one. Upon this latter coming before the late Board of Control , it ap peared to its members far more lavish than was justifiable, and they accordingly rejected it, and adopted that of the Court of Directors. That regulation had, according to the provisions of the Act, been laid before the House, and, having remained the stipulated period on the table, it was to be considered as part of the Act, and not cognizable by a Committee of the House. Of what use could a Committee of the House of Commons be ? The only thing a Committee could do, would be to recommend that which, if competent for any tribunal to do, rested entirely with the Board of Directors. The proper course of proceeding, in his opinion, would be to bring before the House a resolution, declaring that the regulation of the Directors was an improper one. Sir J. HOBHOCS E‘ as yet had not made up his mind as to whether any compensation whatever ought to have been granted to the Company's maritime officers. But that ques tion having been determined upon by the tribunal to whose de cision it was left by the Act of Parliament, the question was, whether or not the limitation laid down by the Court of Di rectors did not require some revision ? The Honourable and Learned Member who spoke last seemed to say that the two months allowed by the Act having expired, the case was taken out of the jurisdiction of the House. But, surely, it would he acting unfairly towards the petitioners to say that an adjourn ,:,navoidable Lc r ,-;litical events, should plaoc it' wore., .11ari they oilici-wise would have been in. He would give his vote for the motion, not as the head of the Board of Control, but as an individual Mem ber of the House. He would be glad that the whole questioa as to whether any compensation whatever should be gives, 4 could be opened by the Committee. But , considering that.' q uestion already decided, he feared they coul d do no more ; • than consider whether the scale of the Directors might be ' enlarged. Mr. G. F. YOUNG in allusiOn to an observation made by • the Hon. and Learned Member for Yarmo uth, begged t° observe that the House was not now legislating for the Indian people alone, inasmuch as if the territorial revenue s of India failed in producing adequate funds to meet these compensation, claims, the proprietors of East India Stock wou ld be liable compensation, them—( Hear, hear.) •t Mr. C ARRUT HERS protested against the c ase of those officers whose claims had been decided upon by the Court or Directors being interfered with by the Committee. Mr. S. MA-CKENZIE declared his intention of opposing the appointment of any Committee which should have power,, to enter into the question as to whether compensatiose should or should not be granted to the Company's mar l ' time Officers. After a few words in explanation from Sir JoHN C. 11°B" HOUSE and Mr. PRAED, Mr. CL AY would support the motion. Mr. ROBINSON, in reply, observed that all he sought from the appointment of a Committee, was to prove that thea rule laid down by the Court of Directers had an arbitrary partial effect. He did not wish, in the event of the Coi n "' mittee being appoiated, and from the feeling displayed in the House he was pleased to see that it looked favourably tiP°:: such appointment, that any case should be decided opt:T. unless the claims were made evident. One slight arnendlos°o in the resolution he should propose for adoption, suggested the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets (Mr. elnY ) :.i namely, that instead of the words " certain maritime Officers , "l ' ` the words " some Officers" should be inserted.. ape The resolution, as amended, was then put and carried , the following.
