II poke in any way against the wishes of the Government—that was a fact well known. He believed that the present Ministry was in a position to do more good to the people of England than any other class of persons existing. For this he supported them, humble as that support might be, and anything . which should diminish their power, would give him great pain, as it would diminish their usefulness. He therefore pressed upon their consideration not to throw away the support of the people, by which alone they could carry their good intentions into effect—by which alone they could withstand the immense force brought against them—by which alone they could stein the tide that was setting indirectly against their very existence as Ministers--when they wanted popularity more than ever—he implored them at this moment not to cast off the body of the people and deny them justice. They might great and crippled from the belief that the Exchequer would suffer; but he believed that if they did away with the whole of the stamp duties the Exchequer would then be quite as full as ever. He pressed this subject the more upon their coonsideration when the people—he meant the poorer part of the people—were deprived by the Corporation Bill, which he hoped soon to see returned to that House in the shape in which it had left, from mixing in the manage ment of Corporation property.—( Hear.) The people at present were willing to support his Majesty's Govern ment, whilst their enemies were powerful, constant, and ever arrayed against them. He again pressed upon them the evil of grinding down those who supported them , _ and by whom alone they were able to maintain their places—he meant the people. He implored them not to sever the ties that bound them to the people, but to take their petitions and their wants into con sideration. The petition was then brought up and read. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no thing to complain of in the manner in which the Hon. Mem ber had introduced the petition ; he had spoken with calm ness and temper, and while be (the Chancellor of the Exche quer) explained the facts, and his view of them to the House, earnestly and effectually, he would endeavour to follow the example. He was not disposed to misrepresent or mis-state the smallest part of the petition ; but he wished to distinguish the point before the House from the general question of the policy or impolicy of the stamp laws as applicable to news papers. That tax might be politic or impolitic, but it was not now brought under the consideration of the House, which was therefore not required to approve or to censure it., The point to be discussed was whether Government had acted rightly or wrongly in the course adopted in the particular case; and it was not only unnecessary but inju rious, as regarded a cool and just decision, to introduce into the debate extrinsic circumstances. He should not say a word as to the character of unstamped publications ; but would assume that they were not of a nature to make them the object of vindictive proceedings : he wished to deal justly and dispassionately, and for this purpose he would first look at the state of the law with respeet to finance. He had dealt with the whole subject as a matter of finance, and the law ap plicable to it was not a new one, but as old as the reign of Queen Anne, when the first stamp-duty upon newspapers were imposed. As a matter of revenue, it was his dnty to see that this law, like any other of the same kind, was not evaded in any way that he could prevent. He was bound to do so, not only with a view to the interests of the revenue, but in jus tice to those who obeyed the law, and paid the stamp duty, and who would be exposed to unfair competition, if such as did not pay the duty were permitted to contend with them. The fair trader had a right to claim and obtain from the Govern ment the best protection which the law could give.—( Hear, hear.) He had then a double duty to perform in respect to this matter; first, as regarded the public, in taking care that no fraud was permitted npon the revenue ; and secondly, on the point of principle and justice, in as far as he was hound to see that the individuals who obeyed the laws should not he un dersold, and thereby defrauded by persons who broke the law, The Hon. Member for Bath had stated that in this case the Government had displayed an unwonted degree of activity— that they had been active to a degree which they had never before shown. The Honourable Member's accusation was in some degree a compliment to the present Government ; h?, however, disclaimed any such compliment, and utterly denied that any greater activity had been displayed upon this occasion than had been formerly displayed in simihr cases. No instance had been brought under the no tice of the Treasury during the four years that he had the bonour'of being connected with that department, in which the utmost activity was not shewn on their part to vindicate the law. This, however, was not simply a vindication of the law, but it was an enforcement of the payment of the ordinary rights of the Crown, and it was the duty of the Treasury to recover the penalties from such persons as defranded the re venue by publishing unstamped newspapers, as it was their duty to punish persons guilty of a breach of the excise or custom-house laws. The Hon. Member had alluded to erne of the acts which bore upon the question, and said that it had been passed in unfortunate times and by an unfortunate Mi nister, and he therefore argued that it should be differently construed from an Act passed under more favourable circum stances. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) could not admit the propriety of any such distinction.—( Hear, hear.) How could those who had the administration of the law say that such and such a law was passed in such and such times, and under such and such a Minister, and should therefore be differently interpreted from the same Act if passed by diffe rent persons ?—( Hear, hear.) It was enough for him that the. law was the statute law of this conntry, and he was upon that account bound to enforce it. It might be a wise or it might he an-unwise law—that had nothing to do with the question; but as long as it continued to be law, nothing could be more impolitic or dangerous than that the Government should be permitted to give it any interpretation different from its plain meaning, or that they should not be bound to admi nister it as the statute law of the land.—( Hear, hear, hear. ) He now wished to refer to the particular circumstances of the case at present under the consideration of the House. It was doubtless known to the House, that for some years past there had been a constant endeavour, on the part of certain indivi duals, to publish public newspapers and advertisements free from duty. As often as cases of that kind were brought under the notice of the Government, it had been the uniform object and practice of the Government to endeavour to enforce the alaw. They felt that it was their duty to prevent smuggling in newspapers as much as it was their duty to prevent smug gling in any other department of the public revenue. He had before him a paper, which showed that, since the year 1831, many prosecutions had taken place, and among others the individuals whose petition had been presented had beer, re peatedly prosecuted and committed. It was true that, by changes in the mode of publishing, and other means taken to evade the law, it had been found that the law was not always so effectual in such cases as could be wished, still the parties in question had been repeatedly convicted. The parties even admitted that they acted in violation of the law ; and at the place of publication they in one case actually stated that they published in despite and violation of the law ; not only that, but in one instance they even stated, " We will tell the Go vernment what the result of such a prosecution would he ; in the first place, they will take such and such a step—then they will take suck and such another step—then they will get judgment and execution, and the defendant will decamp." As to the particular occasion upon which the case at present un der consideration took place, it occurred in May, 1834, at which time the parties were tried, and the Government ob tained the verdict of a jury. Upon that verdict judgment and an execution-were obtained, but for some time there was a difficulty found in ascertaining where there was any property belonging to the defendants upon which the execution could be levied. At length, however, information was received that some property belonging to Cleave was situated in a cer tain place, and in the ordinary course of law, the officers were directed to levy the execution upon it. The officers went to Cleave's premises. Their object was not to seize the printing presses or papers particularly—all that they wished for was to seize goods of any kind, be they chairs, tables, or printing presses, to cover the amount of the penalties. The proceed ings would have been the same whether the goods had been printing presses, newspapers, or any other species of property, for the whole object was the enforcement of the penalty. In the case of Cleave the printing presses were found, and also 40,000 numbers of an unstamped newspaper, the one-half of which was printed, and the other half of which remained still to be printed. The seizure took place upon Thursday ; the publication was not to take place till Saturday, which ac counted for only one side being printed. It was true, as had been stated by the Hon. Member for Bath, that a man came forward, who stated that the goods were not the property of Cleave, but belonged to him. But did Cleave's conduct bear out the truth of that statement ? What did he do? Cleave came forward and paid the full amount of the penalty.—( Hear, hear.) Was it to be believed that if the statement of the other person had been true, that he would have paid the penalty ? It was important to observe how the penalty was paid. On paying the penalty Cleave paid the whole amount in gold, for the evident and sole purpose of evading any possibility of tracing the numbers of the notes, which might bring the tran saction home to any particular parties. Having paid the pe nalties, Cleave became entitled to the property seized. He carried it off to another place, and on the Saturday following he actually printed off the 40,000 copies of unstamped news papers, which had been seized and restored to him, by the printing presses which had also been seized and restored, and on the Saturday published the papers in defiance and in viola tion of the law, and thereby committed a fraud upon the pub lic revenue. In these circumstances it became necessary to consider whether the presses belonged to himself. Now it is provided by the law that every printing-press should be regis tered at the office of the Clerk of the Peace, and on inquiry it was found that Cleave's printing-press was not registered, and that it was therefore subject to seizure. Now, when it was known that the parties to whom the press in question belonged were actually committing fraud upon the revenue, he con tended that the Government would be utterly unworthy of any share of the public confidence if they allowed such a scandalous evasion of the law.—( Hear.) He now wished to call attention to one part of the speech of the Hon. Member for Bath, in which that Hon. Member stated that the Act of Parliament under which that seizure was made was a dormant Act, and that consequently the parties had been taken by sur prise. Now, so far was it from being the case that the parties were taken by surprise, that the fact was they at one time had their presses registered—( Hear, hear)—so that up to a given period they had complied with this law, which they now wished to say they were ignorant of, and had only ceased to comply with it when it became important that they should not be known as the proprietors of the presses, in order that they might avoid the penalties which they had incurred, by denying the goods, and thereby depriving the Crown of the means of enforcing its own revenue laws. He would ask the House how he could have stood up in his place and defended himself, if he had sanctioned such conduct in the department to which be had the honour to belong ?—( Hear.) The Hon. Member for .Bath had stated that in the present state of parties it behoved the Government not to go against public opinion, or to cast away popularity by enforcing a law which was so decidedly un popular al that affecting the press. No one was more sensible THE SUN, LONDON, irtrtsnAv, AUGUST 11, 183'x. of the value of having public opinion in favour of a Govern ment than he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was, but what was public opinion ? What was popularity ? Beyond the strict line of his duty, no degree of popularity would ever in duce him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer to go.—( Hear. ) To that extent he was ready and anxious to go, and the more ready if by doing so he could obtain a well deserved popu larity. But if he knew any thing of that popularity he was sure it was not to be obtained by such a course as that re commended by the Hon. Member for Bath ; namely, that of conniving at a scandalous breach of the law, and affording pro tection to a class of persons who grievously defrauded and op pressed the fair trader who paid large sums to the public re venue. He was convinced that that was not the way to ob tain popularity.—( Hear, hear.) He would endeavour to do his duty to the public and to the fair trader by putting down the smuggler, and he would not be hindered from doing so by any insinuation, either in the House or out of the House, that by doing so he was infringing upon the liberty of the press. As long as there was a stamped press it was entitled to pro tection, and it would be base in any Government which refused such protection. He admitted the importance of the subject, and thought it right that an opportunity should have been given not only to discuss the subject and to disabuse the public in regard to it, but be also thought it right that it should be publicly known what the views and intentions of the Govern ment in regard to the subject were. Sir SAMUEL WHALL E Y said that the frequent and un successful attempts to put down the unstamped press fully shewed that the public opinion was unfavourable to a stamped press, and that means ought therefore to be taken to alter the law in that respect. 400 or 500 persons had been imprisoned within the last five years for breaches of the stamp laws ; and when they thought of the lavish waste both of money and li berty which that circumstance showed, he hoped the House would agree with him as to the propriety of altering those laws. The law had been even a little strained to make it meet the present case.—( Hear, hear.) He held documents in his hand which clearly showed that the presses belonged to other parties in consequence of an agreement made so long ago as 1828, and he therefore contended that the seizure was not only impolitic but unjust, which mulcted parties other than the real offenders. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, after what had been said by his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exche quer, he had but one or two remarks to make. The Hon. Member for Marylebone said, that he hoped the prayer of the petition would be listened to ; now what was the petition? The petitioner stated that he had lent the printing presses to Cleave and that they were seized. Now he (the Attorney- General) had no commiseration for Lovett, for that indi vidual must have known that the presses were lent for the purpose of violating the law, and enabling Cleave to commit a fraud.—( Hear, hear.) The offence of Cleave was as much a fraud as if he had committed any other species of smuggling. The Hon. Member for Bath admitted the legality of the seizure, and he (the Attorney-General) contended that it was not alone legal, but justifiable. The Hon. Member was mis taken in saying that the law was dormant. So far was that from being the case, that there was hardly a printing presi within the bills of mortality which was not registered. He had not been aware of the proceedings till after they took place, but he felt bound to say that they had his entire ap probation, and that he was quite ready to take his share of the responsibility. Mr. E. LYTTON B LTL WE R then rose and asked if he would name a day upon which the discussion upon the stamp duties could be taken ? (The Chancellor of the Exchequer was understood to say he could not.) The Hon. Member then stated that he would endeavour to bring the subject for ward on Friday ; and that he could state, that any plan which would leave a duty of a penny upon newspapers would not be taken as a compromise. Mr. HUME said that this was not a question of revenue, but a question of policy, whether they should go on with a system under which 500 persons had already been imprisoned. He hoped that the Hon. Member for Lincoln would bring the subject forward before the budget was produced. He thought that the reduction of the duties would be no relief to the stamped press, and that no satisfaction would be given to the people unless the whole duty on newspapers was removed. Mr. BAINES said that he had abstained from taking any part in the discussion upon the repeal of the Stamp-duty on Newspapers, often as it had been before the House, from an apprehension that his motives might be misapprehended; he had therefore hitherto contented himself with giving a silent vote for the repeal of the duty ; he might now, however, be allowed to say, on the petition before the House, that the petitioner could be no more surprised at his printing presses and types being seized when they were engaged in printing newspapers without stamps in defiance of the law, than a ship owner would be surprised who, having lent his vessels to carry on the trade of smuggling, found that the revenue officers had seized them. In both cases the trade was contraband, and the consequences might be expected to be alike ruinous. The Hon. Member for Middlesex had stated, that nothing short of the removal of the whole . duty on news papers would be satisfactory either to the press or to the people. He (Mr. Baines) was sure that this was not the general sentiment. If Ministers were not.in a situation to take off the whole tax, he hoped that they would not, on that account, be induced by any representations te,the contrary net to diminish its amount as much as was compatible with the state of the revenue.—( Hear, hear.) He put it to his Hon. Friend, the Member for Middlesex, whether . he would not ra ther pay five-pence every morning for his newspaper than seven-pence, or six guineas a year rather than eight ; and if that would be congenial to his feeling, so would it to the feel ing of the people of England.—( Hear,, hear.) What was the situation in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer wai placed? With a surplus revenue of not more than 250,000/., lie was called upon to repeal the duty on newspapers, amount ing to 450,000/. ; and net only that, but he was told by Hon. Members, that, in addition to the 450,0001., they would insist upon the repeal of the duty upon paper, which amounted to 650,000/. more. So that, with a surplus of 250,0001., he was expected to repeal duties to the amount of 1,100,0001. He hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman would repeal as much of the duty on stamps as his duty to the public and the public creditor would allow, but no more. He was afraid that there were other claimants upon the surplus revenue as well as the press. The agriculturists would expect their share of the re duction of taxes—( Hear, hear)—and the manufacturers would require that the duties on the raw materialsused in their trades should be favourably considered by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. ROE BUCK shortly replied. The petition was laid on the THE YARMOUTH ELECTION. Mr. PEA SE presented a petition from William Prentice, the individual who a few evenings ago was committed to Newgate for refusing to give evidence before the Committee appointed to try the Yarmouth election petition, praying that he might be discharged from custody, and expressing his willingness to answer any questions that might be put to him by the Committee. The petitioner trusted, however, that he would be protected against all questions the answering of which might tend to criminate himself. Mr. NICHOL said that his Noble Friend (Lord F. Egerton) was more anxious that this witness shouldbe brought before the Committee for examination, and of course he would support any motion for the purpose. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. PEASE then moved to the effect that William Pren tice, the individual now in Newgate for a breach of the pri vileges of that House, in having► refused to give evidence be fore the Yarmouth Election Cemmittee, be brought before that Committee to-morrow in custody of the Sergeant-at- Arms, and that the Speaker do issue his warrant for the pur pose.—Motion agreed to. DESERTION—SPAIN. Mr. G 0 UL BURN rose for the purpose of putting a ques tion to his Majesty's Government respecting the numerous desertions which had recently taken place from the regiments stationed in the garrison town of Portsmouth. From informa tion which he had received, and on the veracity of which he had every reliance, he was led to believe that a considerable number indeed of the men belonging to the British army, sta tioned not only at Portsmouth but elsewhere, had deserted from their regiments for the purpose of entering the service of the Queen of Spain, and that these persons had been tempted to quit the service of their own country for that of a foreign nation in consequence of offers of considerable advantage having been held out to them by those interested in procuring recruits for the Spanish army. He believed that his Majesty's Government had appointed a ship called the SwYlsure, lying off Portsmouth, for receiving the persons who entered the Spanish service, and that, instead of facilitating the recovery of deserters, the parties in charge of that ship did all in their, power to prevent a search by giving false information when ay plied to respecting each individual concerning whom inquiry was made. It appeared, however, beyond all doubt that de serters had been received on board the Swy2sure and con veyed in steam-boats to Spain ; and the question he had to ask the Government was, whether they had auti.urised the in dividuals employed in the recruiting service of the Spanish Go vernment to adopt such means of obtaining men ; and, if not, whether, in case the fact was brought home against either the parties in charge of the hulk or having command of steam boats, any means would be taken for punishing them ? Lord PALMERSTON said the Right Hon. Gentleman asked his Majesty's Government whether they had sanctioned the Swylsure hulk being converted into a receptacle for the troops raising in this country for the service of the Queen of Spain, and he had no hesitation in telling him that the Go vernment had sanctioned it. Application was made to the Government by the Spanish Minister in this country for some place in which the troops for the service of his Government might be lodged, and the Government, being of opinion that it would not only be better, but render the peace of the towns more secure, to have them put on board ship than left on shore, accordingly ordered that certain hulks should be assigned for their reception. Those hulks were all open to search, and no steam-boat being allowed to sail from any British port, until it was ascertained that there were no deserters on board, he must believe the Right Hon. Gentleman was mistaken, particularly as the persons on board had always been willing to facilitate, rather than to impede, the search. Mr. GOULBURN. said, with respect to the fact that the persons in charge of the hulks were willing to facilitate the search for deserters, he was in a situation to give that state ment the most unqualified contradiction.—(Hear, hear.) When application was made on board for a deserter, it was said, " Oh, true, such a person as you describe was here, but the instant he saw you approaching the vessel he went Ashore in a boat." And yet this same person was subsequently found concealed among the individuals on board. Lord PALMERSTON (as we understood) said that such a circumstance could not have happened recently. Mr. GOULBURN—What I allude to took place on the 28th of July last. Lord HOWICK said although it was true that some of the soldiers belonging to the garrison at Portsmouth had de serted, and enlisted in the service of the Queen of Spain, still he did not believe the persons who had contracted for supply ing the Spanish Government with troops had used any means to induce them to desert. He knew that Lord Hill had issued strict orders 'on the subject, as much with a view to punish the deserter as those who might be guilty of seducing him from his duty; and certainly, if the fact were brought home against any party, a criminal prosecution would no doubt be instituted against him for the penalties which such conduct would incur. SPANISH CONVICTS. Mr. G. PRICE was desirous of knowing from the Noble Lord opposite whether he had received any information from the Governor of Gibraltar, respecting the arrival there of a ship called the Lancer (so we understood), with 150 persons on board. The brig Lancer had been fitted out at Barcelona, and 150 men had been forced on board this vessel from Va lencia and the coasts of Catalonia and Mercia to be assigned— he would not say for what purpose—by an authority of the Go vernment of the Queen defacto though not de jure of Spain. —( Cries of " Oh, oh," from the Ministerial benches.) Con scious of the fate that awaited them those persons rose against the crew, and succeeded in carrying the vessel into the harbour of Gibraltar, where the Spanish authorities demanded that they shoul d delivered up, and what he wished to know was, whether such a demand was meant to be complied with or re fused ? He had also heard that a statement had been received in this country from the British Consul at Tangiers that a num ber of human bodies linked together, two and two, had been washed on shore. They were not the bodies of natives, but of Europeans, and, therefore, what he wished to know was, whe ther, in the first place, the 150 men were to be delivered up to the tender mercies of the Christinos of Spain ; and in the next, whether the Noble Lord had received any information relative to the other subject to which had alluded from the British Consul at Tangiers ? Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, said that both the Go vernment and himself had received information with respect to the arrival of the ship Lancer at Gibraltar. It appeared that there was a great disproportion between the prisoners and crew in point of numbers ;, the one being one hundred and fifty, while the other did not exceed fifteen or sixteen, and that the consequence was, as the Hon. Gentleman had stated, that the prisoners got possession of the ship, and carried her into Gibraltar. Now, these one hundred and fifty persons, it should be borne in mind, were , not persons merely labouring under, suspicion, but who had actually been convicted. He had been informed by the British Consul in Spain that they had been regularly tried, convicted, and sentenced to trans portation to the colonies. With respect to the question of their delivery up to the Spanish Government, he believed no man could entertain a doubt that it never had been the policy of the British Government to deliver up persons who had taken refuge on British territory. With regard to the other wafters adverted to by the Hon. Gentleman, he was ready to say that Government had received information from the Bri tish Consul at Tangiers that some dead bodies had been washed ashore, and upon this it was deter ined that some one should be sent to ascertain the cause which had led to the bodies of persons, not natives of the soil, being found in such a situation. After a few words from Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. PRICE, who mutually explained, the conversation droppcd I here. SUPPLY. _ The House then, on the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. The sum of 5,3001. was granted for defraying the salaries and other expenses of the Royal Dublin Society. 3001. for defraying the expenses of the Soyal Irish Aca. demy. 3001. for defraying the expense of the Royal Hibernian School. 7001. for the salaries of the Commissioners of Charitable Bequests in Ireland. 1,500/. for the Soyal Belfast Academical Institution. 12,300/. (after a short conversatiion) for maintaining public works in Ireland. On the metion that 24,2001. be granted for defraying the salaries of Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and the expenses of printing and other expenses connected with the government of that country, Mr. HUME thought the time had come when they should get rid of the Lord Lieutenant altogether, and place Ireland 'in the situation of Scotland—under the management of a Se cretary of State. Lord MO RPET II said that the question of getting rid of the Lord Lieutenant was much too large a one to be discussed at that moment. Mr. J. GRATTAN thought that if the King wished to fix himself permanently in the hearts of the Irish people he would occasionally hold his Court in Dublin. Mr. O'CONNE I.L thought his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume) nremature in wishing to get rid of the Lord Lieutenant. When Ireland was placed on an equal footing with Scotland, when Ireland was allowed, as Scotland was, equality of rights with England, they might talk of getting rid of the Lord Lieutenant, but not until then. After, a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, I , Mr. H. GRATTAN, and Mr. HUME, the vote was agreed to. The sum of 6,897/. was granted for the offices of Vice ' Treasurer and Teller of the Exchequer in Ireland. 4,100/. was granted to defray the expenses of issuing pro clamations and printing the statutes in Ireland. On the sum of 21.400/. being proposed for defraying the expenses of non-conformists and Protestant Dissenting Minis ters in Ireland, Mr. S. CRAWFORD wished to call the attention of his Maj:sty's Ministers to some gross frauds practised under this grant. For instance, money was drawn, purporting to be for three congregations in Dublin, whilst only one of them had been in existence for the last twenty years. And in a parish in the county of Antrim a salary had been drawn in the name of the Rev. Mr. Rice, although that gentleman had separated himself from the congregation in that parish for more than twenty years. He rose merely to make these statements, and not for the purpose of offering any opposition to the grant. Lord MORPETH said his attention had recently been called to this subject, and he would certainly make it a point to inquire into it. Dr. BO W RING objected to the practice of requiring the people of the United Kingdom to pay for the religious teachers of any portion of the community. The Presbyterians of Ireland ought to set the example of letting each religion support its own ministers. Many of them indeed had, and some of the deity had refused to be pastors over flocks which consented to receive the Regium Donum. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Presbyterians of the North of Ireland, so far from ob jecting to this _grant, received it with the greatest gratitude. Mr. O'CONNELL bore testimony to the excellent cha racter of ,the Presbyterian congregations, and would gladly consent to the grant, though it was double the proposed sum. Here was a reply to those who denied the existence of a sur plus. There were 600,000 Presbyterians in Ireland. Now if 25,0001. was sufficient for the moral and religious education of 600,000 persons, what, according to Cocker should be re quisite for the 851,000 belonging to the Established Church ? _ After a few words from Messrs. ROEBUBK, O'BRIEN, and others, the vote was agreed to. The sum of 45,0001., for defraying criminal prosecutions in Ireland, was also agreed to. On the proposition that 16,000/. be granted in aid of the fund for defraying the expense of the police, Mr. O'CONNELL said that he should be inclined to di vide the ilcuse giant, but for the confidence which he entertained that the present Government would devote some attention to the subject. On the sum of 15,0001. being proposed for the Dublin police, Mr. O'CONNELL objected to the present system of dis posing of the sum voted for the maintenance of the police of Dublin. One third of the sum would be sufficient for the efficient support of that force. Nothing could be more cor rupt than the mode of applying this money. Lord MORPETH said that the Municipal Reform Bill— now in progress through the House—would correct the abuse complained of by the Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin. Perhaps, however, during the present Session a Bill would be introduced, for the better regulation of the Dublin . Police. After a few words from Mr. R FRENCH and other Hon. Gentlemen, the vote was agreed to. The sum of 7,0001. was proposed for the town land survey, which, after a conversation between the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. O'CoNNRLL, was granted. The sum of 28,000/. was then voted for the Scotch Univer sities. On the next vote, including, we understood, some estimate for the proposed temporary accommodation of the Houses of Parliament— After a few words from Mr. WARBURTON and others, Mr. HUME wished to ask whether the sum of 5,0001. would be sufficient to complete the proposed temporary build ing of the House of Lords 1 For his own part, he could scarcely see the necessity for expending a large sum for such a purpose. The House of Lords only assembled, in any strength, upon occasional field days of their own, like those which were just now going on, and he questioned whether such proceedings were worth the expense of several thousands to the country. Mr. AGLIONBY hoped that some better arrangement would be made, for the purpose of taking divisions in that House. After a few words from Mr. HUME and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the vote was agreed to. 2,300/. was proposed for a separate barrack for the Peniten tiary soldiers confined for misdemeanours. Mr. HUME objected to have a separate barrack for the Penitentiary. Mr. MACKINNON contended, that the confinement of de linquent soldiers with the civil delinquents would have an in jurious effect on the military. This he knew as a Magistrate. Vote agreed to. 6,0001. for compensation for the Inspecting Commissioners of Excise. After a few words from Mr. YOUNG and the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Colonel SIBTHORP should move for a return of the compensation given to all the new-fangled Commissioners, including the Municipal Commissioners, than whom he could not conceive a more worthless or mischievous body. This would give him an opportunity of showing up the ex-parte statements of the Commissioners—the dishonest and unfair statements of the Commissioners--and the inducements held out to them to make these one-sided statements. —( Cheers, hear, and laugh ter.) This would furnish him with an opportunity of exhibit ing the expense, and the mischief, of what he always called, and would call to the death, the workings of the infernal Re form Bill—that vile engine of robbery and oppression.--( Loud cheers and laughter.) Yes, he would have an opportunity of exhibiting to the community how far the expenses of that ras cally measure were commensurate with the expectations enter , tained of its success by the people. It was said it would be a great benefit to the people, but they had not yet shown that they experienced any great benefit from it. They only suf fered a fleecing on its account, in the way of taxation to pay Whig-Radical Commissioners.—( Loud cheers.) But it was all fair for Government ; they were only struggling to keep their places, and they would, of course, support their own Commissioners.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. BARING said it was thought desirable to pay those Commissioners by the job, and not by time, and therefore their salaries were not prescribed at first, lest, if they were to get a regular annual salary at the outset, they would protract the in quiry for their own gain.—( Loud laughter and cheers.) After a few words from the CHANCELLLOR of the Excns- QURR and Mr. ROBINSOINT, the vote was agreed to. 3,3001. for criminal lunatics was agreed to. 110,0001. to defray the expenses of the county rates for criminal prosecutions was moved. Sir T. FREMANTLE said this vote implied an unfair compromise. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the vote. After a few words (inaudible) from Sir T. FREMANTLE and Sir R. COLBORNE, Mr. HUME protested against the grant most strenuously. Mr. BROTHERTON deprecated the vote, as most un called for. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the proposed ar rangement an extremely good one, and felt surprised it should be from any quarter objected to. Lord SANDON supported the vote, which he thought was founded on the best principle that could, under existing cir cumstances, be conceived. After some observation from Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Tynte, Mr. Benett, Mr. Shaw, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, The Marquis of CHANDOS deprecated the plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and proposed that the vote should stand over. It was incumbent upon the House to afford a greater relief. 80,000/. was not relief adequate to what was proposed to be granted by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had given more relief than was recommended to be given by the Committee on agricultural distress, of which the Hon. Member for Tamworth was a member. He had endeavoured to ascertain the intentions of the late Government, and, as far as he could learn, he had carried those intentions into effect. They had been guilty of no breach of faith. Mr. WALLACE thought the law should be assimilated to the law of Scotland, and that the landed interest should be relieved by the removal of the expense of public prosecutions, which should be borne equally by all interests. After a few words from Mr. PEASE, the vote was agreed to. 113,0001. was then voted in liquidation of the Danish claims. 68,0311. for compensation to individuals, sufferers from the fire at the Dublin Docks, was then read. Mr. ROBINSON opposed the grant, on the ground that the country was not in justice obliged to compensate the loss occasioned by the negligence of a revenue officer. Mr. O'CONNELL supported it. The claim was made under the express provision of the statute 6 Geo. IV., and the verdict of the Jury who had tried the case bound the Go vernment therefore. Mr. CHAPMAN opposed the vote. Mr. F. SHAW supported it. Dr. BO WR ING would not oppose the vote ; but he wished to call attention to the awful responsibiiity which would be cast on the country if the principle on which it was supported should be adopted. He trusted that some thing would be done to avert the evil likely to ensue from its adoption. Mr. P. THOMSON said that the Government could not do otherwise than they had done. He was glad to hear the opinions which had been expressed on the subject, and he could assure Hon. Members that the attention of Government should be directed towards it immediately. After a few words ftom Mr. R. SCARLETT, The ATTORNE Y-G ENER A L said that the question had been tried in that way in which only it could be tried, and they had the very best opin'on upon the subject, viz., the decision of the Judge at the trial. The resolution was then arced to. 6,0001. was voted for the Museum. 22,5001. for the expenses of Revising Barristers. 10,0001. for the expense of erecting normal schools. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply. to Mr. Gladstone, said that the principle upon which this vote was grounded had already been discussed.— Agreed to. 25,0001. for providing in the colonies moral and religious in struction for the negroes. Sir G. GREY said that it was intended to advance sums in proportion to sums advanced by benevolent societies, for the purposes of moral and religious education. No distinction was to be made between persons who applied on the part of the Church of England, and those who applied on the part of Dissenting congregations—Agreed to. 8,0501. for the expenses of Special Magistrates in the West Indies.—Agreed to. 70,0001. for the Civil and Military Establishment in St. Helena.—Agreed to. • The C HAIR MAN then reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL. On the motion that the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Irish Municipial Corporations Bill be read, Mr. SHAW objected to the second reading , and said that it would be impossible that the Bill could be discussed this Session. _ _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would postpone it only on the understanding that the discussion would be before going into Committee. Mr. SHAW again objected. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should move the Oi der of the Day. Mr. GOULI3URN objected to the Bill being pressed forward. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would not object to a postponement on the ground of the lateness of the hour. Mr. SHAWsaid the necessary documents for enabling them to discuss the Bill were not printed. Mr. RUTH VEN said that after the vile abuse applied to this Bill by the Hon. Member for the University of Dublin— Mr. SH A W rose to order. The SPEAKER submitted to the good sense and discre tion of the Hon. Member for Dublin if such terms as "vile abuse" were of a character that ought to be used in that House ? Mr. RUTHVEN had a right to speak of the Hon. and. Learned Member in his official capacity mixing himself up dis creditably with parties upon this subject. Mr. SHAW should not submit to such observations as that he had mixed himself up with any discreditable proceeding.— (Cheers.) The SPEAKER said that the question was, whether the words that had been used by the Hon. Member for Dublin were intended to be applied to the Hon. and Learned Member for the University of Dublin. The House had a right to know if those expressions were still intended to be so applied. Mr. RUTHVEN said that it was rather curious that certain Members agreed that everything bad that was said was intended for them.—( A laugh.) Was the Hon. and Learned Member to suppose that he was to be whitewashed or relieved from everything he had said or did before he came a Member of this Parliament?—( Cries of " Order.") The Sr - 2 A t..a good leeling of the Hon. Member if h e co u ld proceed in this course of observation ? If such a line of debate were pursued it would not be possible to conduct the proceedings of the House with any degree of regularity. Mr. RUTHVEN said that after what had fallen from the Chair he withdrew entirely all and every words he had used or applied towards any Member of the House that were inconsis tent with order.—( Hear ) The SPEAKER then put the question on the Order of the Day that the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill be read a second time. Mr:`BROTHERTON moved that the further discussion on this question be adjourned to Wednesday next. Mr. H. GRATTAN said that before the question was put be wished to call the Hon. and Learned Member for the Uni versity of Dublin to account for some words he had used. He had said that this Bill was brought forward for party purposes. Mr. SHAW had only said that it might serve party pur poses to urge it forward. Mr. H. GRATTAN held in his hand Saunders's Dublin paper, which was the organ of the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman, in which his speech was given at full length. In that speech the Hon. and Learned Member said that the Irish Mu nicipal Bill was not to pass this Session, and that it was only brought forward for party purposes. The Hon. Member had denied the correctness of that speech, as published, but Mr. M‘Crea had stated that the report from which he (Mr. Grat tan) quoted was perfectly correct, and this report was full of vituperation and vulgar and saucy remarks.—( Cries of " Or der, order.") The SPEA KER really must call the attention of the Hon. Member to the impropriety of using such exceedingly offen sive terms, which must tend to the injury of the character of their debates. Mr. GRATTAN now asked the Hon. and Learned Mem ber for the University of Dublin if he used these words : g , This is a question of safety for our property and our lives, of liberty for our wives and our children. It is supported by those who are infidels in religion and revolutionists in politics, and by all who are desirous of change. I have always made m y judicial duties subservient to eve r y o th er ; b ut I d o regret m y absence from Parliament on account of this measure." He (Mr. Grattan) had never indulged in a b use aga i nst any H on . Member.—( Oh, oh.) Mr. YOUNG rose to order. Mr. SHAW should answer very shortly the inquiry of the Hon. Member. He should confine himself to the terms " in fidels in religion and revolutionists in politics." He denied that he had ever used those terms in the sense in which he had been stated to have used them. What he had said in sub stance was this, that thos e who supported the measure would have with them all who were infidels in religion and revolu tionists in politics.—( Cheers.) All the other parts of his speech as reported he had no fault to find with : it was as he had spoken it substantially correct. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER looked upon the interests connected with the passing of this Bill as far above all party considerations, and he hoped it would be discussed with temper and discretion. The further discussion of the subject was then adjourned to Wednesday next. Mr. SHAW begged to say a few words with reference to the future proceedings upon this Bill. It was not his inten tion to take any further part in the discussions upon it, but he would then enter his protest against the progress of so im portant a measure at this period of the session. He would not offer one word in opposition, and he hoped no Hon. Friend of his would, upon any future stage of the Bill. There was as yet no report from the Dublin Commission of Inquiry, and without that report he looked upon it as impossible to legislate with justice or prudence. Mr. BORTH WICK made an observation which was in audible. After a few words from Mr. PRINGLE and Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was ready to postpone his motion for a Bill to promote the better naviga tion of the River Shannon. However, as he believed it was a good measure, he would move for leave to introduce a Bill on that subject. Lord MORPETH moved for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the police force in Ireland. Mr. HUME moved for the re-appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into Orange lodges in the British army. Mr. NICHOL said that if the Hon. Member persisted in his motion he should move the adjournment of the House. Mr. PRINGLE did not think that the majority of the House would be satisfied with the Hon. Gentleman's motion, and therefore he hoped that he would withdraw it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER considered that the re-appointment of the Committee was a question that the House could not refuse to assent to. Mr. SHEIL said that the disclosures connected with the army were so important, that an immediate inquiry should be instituted. Mr. WALLACE said that the Duke of Gordon belonged to an Orange lodge, and as he considered that those institu tions went to subvert the succession to the throne, he was prepared to support the motion of the Hon. Member for Mid dlesex. Mr. HUME had in his hand the minutes of the proceed ings at a meeting in which the Duke of Cumberland was in the Chair, and at which he had signed warrants for privates in several regiments. Mr. NICHOL would persevere in his motion, and he thought that the appointment of the Committee was not pro per at this late period of the session. The SPEAKER then put the question, that this House do now adjourn. Lord SANDON said that the discussion ought not to have been brought forward at that late hour of the night, but ought to be introduced when there was a fuller attendance of Members. Lord PALMERSTON said that he saw nothing stated by Hon. Gentlemen on the other side of the House that went as an argument against the motion. He therefore thought that he was justified in supporting it. No friend of the illustrious Duke who was implicated in the motion could wish it to stand over for another year ; and he hoped that the Hon. Member would not have recourse to that vexatious way of op posing motions by moving the adjournment of the House. Colonel SIBTHO RP contended that Orange Lodges had always promoted loyalty towards the Throne. Mr. SHAW said that the illustrious Duke who had been alluded to was not aware of the existence of Orange Lodges in the army. The illustrious Duke had informed him that no such lodges existed, and that he had not issued any warrants for any soldiers. He therefore could not allow this motion to pass, and he thought that the House of Commons ought not to grant an inquiry without a proper discussion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the subject under discussion was not a new one, and if it was, the Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite might have a right to ask for its postponement. The question of an enquiry into Orange Lodges had been conceded by the late Government. That inquiry was incomplete, and the only question now was, whether there should be a continuation of it. Mr. AGLIONBY said that if a charge had been made against an illustrious individual, it ought to be immediately inquired into. Mr. SC A RLETT contended that the effect of this mo tion would be directly to interfere with the discipline of the army, and therefore he was opposed to it. —(Cries of "divide, divide.") The House then divided, when there appeased— For the motion for adjournment . Against it llajority On our re-admission to the Gallery, we found Lord SAN DON addressing the House, objecting to their proceeding with a discussion so important at such an hour in the morning. He moved that the further debate be adjourned to some future day. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion for the adjournment Against it Majority On our return to the Gallery, we found that Mr Nichol had moved the adjournment of the debate until to-morrow night. Mr. SHAW supported the motion for adjournment. Lord PALMERSTON did not think Hon. Members were aware of the question before the House, or they would not resist the motion in this way. The object was to extend the Committee on Orange lodges to England and Scotland as well as Ireland, and unless it was allowed to be brought in now it would be hopeless to expect that it could be brought forward again during the present session. Lord SANDON said that the course they proposed tak ing was wholly inconsistent with either reason or justice, and could redound little to the honour or character of the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would have no objection to the postponement, provided its object was not to get rid of the matter during the session. He feared, however, that this was the intention.—( Cries of " No, no.") Well, then, if that were so, be only desired that they should come to a fair understanding, and agree that no objec tion should be made to the bringing it on to-morrow night, and with such an understanding he and those on his side of the House would be content. Mr. SHAW said that although he might have no objection to such an arrangement, it might so happen that others would, and therefore he thought no such understanding could well be come to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as it was clear the object was, as he had stated, to defeat the inquiry altogether, he could not consent to the motion for adjournmont. After some further observations from Mr. Shaw, Mr.Borth wick, Lord Sandon, and Mr. Nichol, the House divided.-- The numbers were— For the motion for adjournment l3 Against it . Majority When we we were re-admitted we found Mr. SHAW stating that no difficulty would be thrown in the way of the motion to-morrow night if the postponement were consented to. AU that he or those who acted with him desired, was a full and fair discussion, which such a matter ought to receive. Mr. HUME said that, with this understanding, he would not object to the postponement. The further debate was accordingly adjourned until to morrow (this day), and the other Orders of the Day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at half-past Three o'clock. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of Cumberland returned to town yesterday from his residence at Kew. In the evening his Royal Highic,,s dined at Craven Cottage, near Fulh a m.

The eagerness with which the odds were taken yesterday about Mundig completely falsifies the rumour of his being amiss, to which we alluded in our last report ; 11 to 2 was taken to 6001., and at the finish the odds did not exceed sto I. Ascot was backed at 5 to 1 to 4001., some of the takers being willing to go on at the same price. Several parties were anxious to back the Queen of Trumps, and two or three got on at 3* to 1. The others stood out for 7to 2. Verbena was backed to a small sum at 10 to 1, and Hornsea to a considerable amount at 13 to 1. These odds, however, were of fered at the breaking up. A few other bets were made, but not to any amount. The following were the closing prices :- 18 to 4 agst Mr. Alostyn's Queen of Trumps—taken 5 to 1 agst Lord Orford's Ascot—taken 5 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Mundig-11 to 2 taken 10 to 1 agst Lord Derby's Verbena—taken 13 to 1 agst Mr. Richardson's Hornsea—taken 20 to 1 agst Mr. Johnson's Jupiter—taken 30 to 1 age Mr. Watt's Mamsel Otz—taken 33 to 1 agst Captain Taylor's Ainderby—offered TIM DERBY. 2,000 to 100 agst Lord Jersey's Brother to Mahomet—taken AQUA TICS. GREENWICH SCULLERS' WAGER.—The watermen of Garden sstairs, Greenwich, rowed yesterday for a wherry and about twelve pounds, given on this occasion under the patronage of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia of Gloucester. There were several barges fitted up for the accommodation of the subscribers, and the name of the distinguished Patroness appeared to have brought the whole of the population of this ancient place down to the water. It was one of those enor mities in the shape of five heats for six pairs of sculls. Three men started first, then another three ; next the two last men in each of the preceding heats. Then came the fourth heat. The first man of the first and the first of the second against against the two first of the third ; and, to conclude, Charles Webb (light blue), and Richard West (yellow), started for the grand heat from facing the Hospital, the entire length of the town and back. Yellow never had a chance. Blue did as he liked with him. The match was well conducted. PIG NA MES.---Among the singularities of the Irish peasantry is that of giving fine names to their pigs.

GRAND CRICKET MATCH.--On Monday next, the 17th inst., a grand match at cricket will be played in Moor-park, Rickmansworth, Herts, the beautiful seat of the Marquis of Westminster, by 11 gentlemen of the Moor-park Club against the Earl of Sandwich, Lord Viscount Grim stone, M.P., the Hon.

STRIKE OF THE BAKERS.—OnSaturday morning the journeymen bakers of the metropolis, according to a poi concerted arrangement, struck for wages, and caused a gr ea deal of inconvenience to their masters, particularly on such $ day in the week, although the masters, having had informati°l of the intention, had sent to Edinburgh and other p awl Scotland for a fresh supply of men, and no doubt some hundre w are already upon the voyage. Not less than twenty-five van loads of mechanic*, with their wives and children, have arrived in one day '' Hampton Court, to enjoy a pic-nic repast in Bushey Park.
