Lord ERGU6IIAM presented several petitions for the Repeal of the Tax cn Newspapers. The Certiorari Bill was withdrawn, to introduce a measure in a different shape, but the same in principle. After some con versation about the Parliament Houses, Irish Schools, Poor Laws, and Irish processions, the Duke of RtetiNioNn, in my_ ing for some Returns relating to the Post-office, again ad verted to the mis-statements made in the other House, re specting his late official patronage. The Earl of LICHFIELD also, and Lord MARYBOROUGH, in speeches of some length, vindicated themselves and the Post-office Establishment. Allusion was made to Dr. MURRAY'S letter. The Duke of RICHMOND called attention to an intended covert evasion of the Statute Duty by means of a Bill new pending. In the COMMONS, on the presentation of a petition from the freemen of Liverpool, praying that their rights might be still kept by them, Mr. THORNLEY reminded the House of the no torious bribery of which Liverpool had so long been the scene. Mr. Hoeo presented the same sort of petition from Beverley. Prom Yeovil a petition was presented in favour of Municipal Reform. Other petitions, also, on a great variety of subjects, were presented. In relation to the Drogheda Election peti tion from Mr. O'Dwyer, the Hon. Member for Dublin re marking on the decision which unseated the late Member for Drogheda, said that Mr. O'Dwyer had a life-interest in pro perty for which leases for life were renewable for ever—an in terest that the law authorities of Ireland had held to be equal to a perpetuity in Equity, or a real inheritance. The Com mittee, however, had decided that it was not a qualification within the meaning of the Act. Mr. WYNN was opposed to any course that would have the effect of questioning a decision delivered by an election Committee. Mr. WARBURTON said the petition did not question the legality of the decision, but that, as Election Committees were far froth infallible, it was time that Election Petitions should be referred to a Court better constituted. A permanent Board should be established, and an eminent lawyer appointed President ; and their proceedings should be public. Mr. MACLEAN also thought the constitution of Committees very faulty, and that a remedy ought to be promptly applied. After a protracted conversation on the subject, in the course of which the reception of the petition was opposed, it was ordered to lid on the table. Mr. PERRIN then gave notice of his intention to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Municipal Corporations of Ireland. On the motion of Mr. CHARLTON, copies of the correspondence which had taken place between his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department and Mr. Hone, on the subject of that Gentleman's protest against the Report of the Municipal Corporation Commissioners, were ordered. He also intimated his intention of moving that the printer of the Morning Chronicle be called to the bar for a breach of privilege. Lord MORPETH moved the second reading of the Irish Church Bill. It was stated in reply by Lord JOHN RUSSELL that he hoped to have the Bill read a third time this week. Sir R. PEEL repeated his intention to oppose the "appropriation " clause. Lord J. RUSSELL communicated from his Majesty that he placed at the disposal of the Parlia ment all his interests in the ecclesiastical benefices of Ireland. This announcement was received with loud cheers. The Irish Church Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. A conversation took place on the mischievous and reprehensible practice of soldiers wearing side-arms when not on duty, in the course of which Lord JOIIN Russtrz said that a Court of Inquiry was then sitting upon the subject of military discipline, who would report on the practice complained of. The House then went into Commit tee of Supply, in which were moved various miscellaneous es timates, the discussions on which are reported in our paper. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER announced the intention of Government to abandon the present scale of duties on tea, and to substitute in lieu thereof a duty of 2s. ld. per lb. on all t eas imported, th e sa id alteration not to take place before the Ist of Ju1y,1836. At half-past One the House was " counted oat." THE TEA TRADE. v - terd bra e ; a Y there was a full attendance of the merchants and Room 'I Mincing -lane with the tea trade at the Commercial Sale 4i ncing-lan e , for the purpose of receiving a report of emeasu res tak en by a Committee appointed to memo rialize Government on the subject of the recent Order of teas Commissioners of Customs, directing that Fokein bohea I , r ,!ls e should not be passed as heretofore at the low duty. -t t th inputbhleic sales of teas recently imported, which were aujourned from yesterday week, were fixed to be proceeded !7iNclied with success.e%entof the application to Government being at tt"-ae ;fa. sTtrulim°l7PsoN, whose sales had precedence, on mounting stated the proceedings of the Committee. A Min...eemibot,r„ial had, in pursuance of a recommendation of Lord Melbourne, at the recent interview,. been sent to the Lords of rtue Treasury, stating that the public sales of a large quantity k teas had been suspended in consequence of the inspectors ti ng demanded the duty of 2s. 2d. per lb. on Fokein rueas, alth oug h at t h e East India Company's last sale such Lis had been passed at the duty of ls. Gd. per lb. The mc norial proceed to state the injury that would be inflicted on t he dealers and importers of tea if any such change were tMade, especially as orders had been sent to China for the urcha s i ng the next season's teas. The memorial concluded )',l 3 raying th e L or d s o f t h e Treasury to direct that Fokein bsheas should continue to be chargeable at the duty of one shilling and sixpence in the pound. The result of this me morial had been that on Saturday the Treasurer sent a com tkinication, directing th a t th e c l ass ifi cat i on or i ginally adopted should be adhered to ; and an order to that,effect was issued by -the Commissioners of Customs late on Saturday after- Zioon. He (Mr. Thompson) had had some conversation with dile of the inspectors, and had asked him what duty would twit be put upon Fokein boheas, and he had been told .that. they •would be rated at the duty of one shilling and six pence per lb. Mr. SANDERSON asked whether any official statement to that effect had been sent to Mr. Horsley Palmer, whose name was first signed to the memorial. Mr. THOMPSON said he was not aware that any communica lien tad been made to Mr. Palmer to the effect that Fokein lboheas would be passed at the low duty. He would, however, lebiind the trade of what Mr. Grant had said upon this sub ject on the the 2d of January, 1832. That Hon. Gentleman then stated that he had no hesitation in stating that no greater .qty than Is. Gd. per lb. would be imposed upon any bohea teas sold at the sales then about to take place. Mr. TWINING said that that might be said perhaps to relate to the East India House sales. Mr. THOMPSON observed that the East India Company had thetnselves since regulated upon this subject, upon the as surances then held out. He had observed in the orders of the House of Commons for that evening that the Customs tiu lr. ties Bill and the Tea Duties stood for consider at i on. He l Thompson) had addressed a letter to Mr. Poulett homson, asking for information as to whether any measures would be proposed on the subject of the tea duties, but had re ceived no answer. Mr. TRAVERS said something might perhaps escape Minis ters on the subject of the tea duties when the Customs Duties Bill was under consideration. A suggestion was made for adjourning the sale, but it was not acted upon. The auctioneer stated that the boheas were Withdrawn. The other teas declared were then put up, and those sold realised full prices. About 60,000 chests have been annou nce d or the present sales. SIIIPPING-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—OII Sunday last se veral boys having assembled at Donkins lime-quarries, in the parish of Middlebie, where a steam-engine is now erecting, three of them crept into the large boiler, which then lay ad joining the engine-house. One of the boys, after getting out, refused to allow the other two to follow ; and on one of them attempting to do so, he who had got out pulled away one of the supporters, placed to prevent the boiler being rolled over, when the boiler, which is of a cylindrical form, with a small opening by which the boys had got in, pressed by the weight of the two boys within, and perhaps, too, by some of the boys outside, rolled over, and came with nearly its weight (about a ton) upon the body of the little fellow who was in the act of creeping out, and crushed him to death. It appears that no blame whatever can be attributed to any of the workmen, or others, in charge of the building or machinery. The boy who has thus met Liz death was son tp William Elliot, mason at Donkins, about nine )ears of age, and a very apirlte4 boy.—Edinbur z ,h Courant. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1835. 1 1.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock THE LONDON - GAZETTE THIS EVENING. At *it : Court at St. James's, the 24th day of June, 1835, PRESENT, The King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. This day the Bight Hon. Sir Harford Jones Brydges, Bart., was, by his Majesty's command, sworn of his Majesty's Most Honour. able Privy Council, and took his place at the Board accordingly. CROWN OFFICE, JULY 14. MEMBER RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PARLIAMENT. BOROUGH OF OLDHAM.—Joha Frederick Lees, Esq., in the room of William Cobbett, Esq. deceased. WHITEHALL, JULY 13, 1835. The King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, appointing Charles Hanbury Tracey Esq. : the Honourable Sir Edward Cust, Knt. ; the Honourable Thomas Liddell; George Vivian, Esq. ; and Samuel Rogers, Esq. Commis sioners for examining and reporting upon the plans which may be offered by the competitors for the rebuilding the Houses of Par liament. Sir R. Smirke, that the upper part of St. Stephens Chapel could not be restored, but that the lower part might. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE assured the House, o'nd through them the public, that if it was at all possible to save St. Stephen's Chapel, with any regard to safety, it woi.e.d be done. A further conversation upon the subject ensued, but in so low a tone as to be inaudible in the gallery. LOAN SOCIETIES BILL. The Duke of RICHMOND moved the committal of the above Bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY did not think that the Bill went far enough. He hoped the Noble Duke would consent that the Limit should extend to 251., or at all events to 201. The House then went into Committee on the Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND said, if the House thought 20/. should be the sum to be sent by societies of this kind, he would not oppose the amendment, but he would prefer the Bill as it at present stood. After a few words between the two Noble Lords " was struck out, and " 15/." inserted. The Bill passed through the Committee without further amendment, and the report ordered to be received to-morrow. The Marquis of DEVONSHIRE presented a petition from the surgeons of Reading, and other places in Berks, complain ing ot the smallness of their remuneration under the New Poor Law Bill. The Marquis of WESTMEATH complained of the non attendance of Peers upon Committees of Privileges, by which suitors were put to great expense and inconvenience. If 7 ) one else took up the matter he would do so or der to have a rota made out. Lord BROUGHAM was glad the subject had been men tioned, and would be glad to see such a rota as that proposed carried into effect_ without it the business could not be well done, and the parties frequenrly put to great extra expense. • Lord FARNHAM sail perhaps those who heard the first part of the case might not hear the end of it ; and then Lords who had not heard one single word of the evidence, might de cide upon the case. That would bo the effect of a rota. It was arranged that the question of the rota should come on, to-Morrow. THE UNIVERSITY OATHS ABOLITION BILL. The Earl of RADNOR moved the order of the day for the second reading of the above Bill. The Noble Earl went at very considerable length into the details of the Bill, and was LEFT SPEAKING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 5 o'clock. Mr. D. W. R.OOHE presented a petition from the mer chants and ship-owners of Limerick, praying for no alteration in the duties on Baltic timber. SirJOHN WROTTESLEY presented a petition from the retail Brewers of Staffordshire against the Excise Duties. Admiral AD AMS presented a petition from Alloa, against any alteration in the Timber Duties. An Host. MEMBER presented a petition signed by upwards of 400 freemen of Maidstone, praying for the protection of their corporate rights. POST-OFFICE COMMISSION. Lord LOWTHER hoped the House would indulge him for a few moments on a matter personal to himself. It would be seen by the publications of that day, that there was last night in another place, if he might so term it, a field-day of Post. Masters General.—( Hear: hear, and laughter. ) He would say in the outset, that serving as a Commis missioner, his time had been limited to about two months, and during that time he attempted, as well as his abilities and his occupations in that House would allow him, to serve his Majesty honestly, and to make such suggestionS in an im portant office in the State as he had thought reason able and practicable. There seemed to have existed a dif ference of opinion between himself and' his Noble Colleague, about what he had called inaccuracy of dispatch, but what he (Lord Loather) had termed something very nearly ap proaching to obstruction. He had no difficulty in stating the circumstances on which he (Lord Lowther) had grounded his opinion, and he did not wish to retract the term he had ap plied of "obstinacy;" and in reference to this, he would refer to the Report of the Finance Committee of 1797 with respect to a former inquiry into the Post' Office: - - There was, in his (Lord Lowther's) opinion, but a slight difference between obstacles and obstinacy, although his late - Colleague had disagreed with him as to the term. He was serprised— although he ought not to be surprised at any thing that had taken place—(A laugh)—that his Noble Colleague' lied forgotten that he had made something of a similar com plaint in the Report made by them to the Treasury at the conclusion of their labours.—(Hear, hear.) At that period there were several questions before them, and he (Lord L.) was particularly anxious that inquiries should be made into the management of steam-boats and foreign posts. He would allude more particularly to that presently; but he would now read the concluding sentence upon Price Cur rents. He must observe, that there were two or three subjects on which they had summoned inquiry, but had not ob tained sufficient information to make a Report. But in allu ding on this subject to what the Noble Lord had said of his never having heard anything but alacrity of dispatch in that department, he would speak of the concluding sentence of that Report. He (Lord L.) had stated in it that he had found that the Commissioners appointed by the Lords of the -Teea sury in August last; had furnished the Postmaster -General with a statement of several recommendations of the Commis sioners of Revenue Enquiry, and requested him to prepare a paper, shewing in what cases either these recommendations had been carried into effect, or the reasons which had prevented their being adopted:-( Hear.) The Commissioners appointed by. the present Government had asked for this paper, which was not ready at the time their labours had closed, and it was again applied for as soon as the Commission was appointed to con tinue. the inquiry ; therefore, he, (Lord L.), conceived that if he complained of any unwillingness or obstinacy, he had some right to do so. There was a paper asked for in August last which had been prepared by an intelligent Gentleman, Colonel Yorke, who was now private secretary to Earl Mulgrave. He (Lord L.) understood that the Noble Postmaster-General • went to the Post-Office to examine what accounts the Commissioners had called for, and he maintained tliat there was an unwillingness on the part of the Post-Office to make the Returns, and they had given no explanation why. that paper was not furnished, although it would have very much facilitated the inquiry had they done so. That paper (as we understood the Noble Lord), would have been putting the Post-office on its trial with respect to the few recommendations that had not been carried into effect. He, as well as others, conceived that the public were great losers by the system, and an account was asked for, but it was said that it was impossible to give it. That did not satisfy Hear.) He applied to the Admiralty office, and sent to Mr. Dawson, who in three days sent him a most precise ac count..—(llear, hear, hear.) He was once a Lord of 'the Admiralty himself, and knew the accuracy with which the accounts were there kept, and he believed the Hon. Member for Cumberland - had improved that system. He went through the aceounta for one year, and made an abstract. Inquiry was also made as to the number of letters sent between London and Calais, and the answer was 134,0001b5. weight went to Calais in the course of a year, but the answer froth Calais was, that there had been five millions of franks. He would ask how the Commissioners . could make this intelligible. He would wish to know whether the re venue was a winner or a loser by this system.—(llear, hear.) The Postmaster of Jamaica was stated to have had an income of 400/. a year, with 160/. allowance. Colonel Yorke was dissatisfied with this, and a clerk in the Secretary's Office, reluctantly stated that the office was worth 1,6001. a year. He had not the advantages which were enjoyed by Lord Maryborough, but he should wish to know how this 1,600/. a year, and the income of 4001., wero to be reconciled. It was said, the difference was made up by the sale of newspapers. In the course of inquiry also it was dis covered that same money was made by electioneering services. —( Hear.) These were some of the facts which he could state, and though he could mention others, he thought he had stated enough to show that he was justified in following out the recommendations of the Commissioners of Inquiry of 1797.--( Hear.) He had been selected upon different occa sions to make inquiries into the Excise-offiee, the Tax office, and the old Exchequer.—(Loud cheers.) And the first step to the abolition of that antiquated office had been recommended by the Report of himself, and his Colleague the Honourable Member for the county of Monmouth. The Exchequer, the Tax-office, and the Metropolis Roads Committees had received every facility, and he could assure the House that the difficulties in the Exchequer did not exceed those which they had found in the inquiries into the Post-office. He would ask, and he wished the Noble Lord was there to say, what papers were refused from the Post-office that they did not show alacrity in producing ? There was no paper or witness called for that was not before those who made the inquiry. There were several other minor points; such as that papers were sent un signed, which he would not then notiee—( Hear, hear, hear) —the statement he bad made, however, was a general statement he had made of the heads of the difficulties he had met with. He had stated them candidly. If he had made any rash assertion he hoped the House would excuse him. He was not in the habit of taking part in the debates in that House, but lie would venture to say that no one would be more zealous for the correct 'despatch of business in all public offices.—( Loud cheers.) He appealed to the House whether he had made any rash assertion, and he was ready to bear any obloquy that might arise from it.—( Hear, hea r .) The Noble Lord conc l u d e d b y moving for a Return of Papers from the office of PostmasterfGeneral, stating which of the recommendations of the Commissioners had been carried into effect, and which had not, with the rea sons for not carrying them into effect. Mr. VERNON SMITH did not Ilse to object to the re turn moved for ; on the contrary, he was quite willing to agree to it. He rose simply for the purpose of moving for a copy of the report of the evidence sent into the Treasury by the Com missioners of the Post Office Inquiry. Mr. HUME considered that the House was under an ob ligation to the Noble Lord for the manner in which he had brought forward this subject—for the active part he had taken in it—the time he had devoted to it, and the manner he had inquired into this department, made him a most important witness. The House was, therefore, much obliged to him, for coming forward to obtain the fullest information possible, as to a department which required so essentially to be ed. Ile was only sorry that the Noble r Ord had not had justi ce d one hi m for his lahburs of Exchequer—for he ktio7; reforming the Court been thr own i n jut for the obstacles which had way ten vaa- that Court would have been reformed s ago by the efforts of the Noble Lord. For his own part lie believed that the statements of the Noble Lord were consistent with his knowledge of the facts, and that the do cuments he moved for would substantiate them. Mr. WALLACE merely rose to vindicate himself. He would not trespass on the time of the House, as he was too sensible of their kininess the other night to forget it. He v ~~ '~ adhered to every word he then uttered, and he Was 14i,ared t p:ove eveay assertion he had made, if a Committ6 were granted. With regard to what had taken place in another House, and what had been said by a noble person there ? he (Mr. W.) had merely to refer to his speech regarding Lim on the 6th of August last, as given in the Mirror, of Parliament and then to ask that Noble Lord whether, 'after that, he had not a right to refer to what he had stated._(hlear, hear.) With respect to the statements that , had bees made by the several Post -masters who addreised another assembly, he was now prepared to say that, to his mini, these remarks were perfectly conclusive of their .ignorsne e of the duties they had to perform,—( Hear, 'hear, hear.) Two N o bl e L or d s h a d sa id t h at they' liad' frequently been obliged to differ from Sir Francis Preeling, and . yet they lauded him to the skies, called him a most Hu. pertain man, and one well acquainted with the 'duties a their office.-_( Hear.) There must have been a [treat deal of complacency in the composition of those Noble Lords, when they felt called upon to differ from him at one moment and laud him at the next. lie (Mr. Wal lace) bad stated at the table that a felony had bee. committed, by letters being opened in Scotland ; and Ire had a Return now in his hand, which sho''..4 this extrPtirdi nary state of things, that those !Otero purpose of :lad been opened f or t h o founding p r osr - ..tons upon them.

A very large number of informations had been brought against a stationer's establishment in Glas ,, ' ow, of th e name o f R e id . Th ose i n f ormat i ons h ad been lodged with his solicitor ; and that solicitor, in his letter stated that the letter had been put into the office on the 15th of February,. 1833, which the letter itself showed that it was not written at such a date as to be put in then. The return laid on the table stated, that the information had been lodged upon the 18th day of February, whereas he held in his hand the subpoena to bring those persons to justice in the court of Exchequer, dated the 4th of February, eleven days previous to the time the letter was al leged to have beer: written, and 14 days according to the return He would verify in any place every statement he had made. One of the Noble Lords had stated that he had an opportunity of going to the Post-office yesterday to ascertain how far he would refute the statements that . he (Mr. W.) and the Noble Lord opposite had made.-- ( Hear, hear.) In consequence of that he had thought it his duty to address letter to the PoStmaster-General, requestinc , that he might be permitt e d t o repa i r to the post office, and then have the same advantage as Lord Mars borough had had. In answer to' that letter he had received one from the Postmaster- General containing a polite refusal.—(Laughter.) (LEFT SPEAKING.) BANKRUPTS. PATRICK GRANT and JOHN BELL, printers, Strand.

(From the London New Price Current of this Evening.) Suoaa:—.There was an extensive demand for West India Muscovades last week, the purchases were estimated at 3,200 hhds. and trs., the former advance in prices was fully main. tained, and the market had a very firm appearance. This day the show of new Sugar is better than we have lately experienced, but not yet extensive.

The Duke of CUMBERLAND presented a petition from the proprietors of land in the neighbourhood of Hanmore, against the Great Western Railway. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from the University of Oxford, against the Bill for abolishing the subscription of the 39 Articles when entering the University. Lord KENYON presented a petition to the same effect from the B. A.s and undergraduates of Oxford. The applica tions had been made to the non-residents, and not one out of 10 had refused to sign the petition. The Earl of RADNOR wished to know from whom the ap plication for signatures proceeded ? Lord KENYON said he believed that nothing more was conveyed than an intimation that such a petition was in exist ence. He could assure the House that no influence had been used of a higher grade than those who signed the petition. The Bishop of EXETER said his son was one of the peti tioners, and he assured him that of the petition he was pri vately informed, because it was generally understood that the beads of houses were against their petitioning. A Message from the Commons brought up the Seamen En listment Act, the Offences against the Person, and other bills. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Bradford, praying for. the abolition of stamp duties on newspapers, and also petitions to the same effect from the Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council of the town of Greenock, and Stoke-upon-Trent. Also one from the letter-press printers of 'Westminster and London, to the number of 1,700, praying for the reduction or abolition of the tax upon paper. He did not wish to see the whole of the duty abolished ; he would be perfectly well satisfied with a reduction to one half, because he knew it would do good to the public, and also benefit the revenue of the country, as was proved by all ex perience, which he was sorry to see thrown away on the Government. The Noble Lord withdrew the petition in consequence of Its being found out to be without a heading. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented petitions from . the merchant s , & c ., o f Gl asgow , Ab er d een , an d Greenock against any alteration in the timber duties, The Duke of RICHMOND rose and presented a peti tion from the farmers in the county of Sussex, com plaining that they had taken their farms before the passin g of the Poor Law Bill, and they were now saddled with a heavy expense for the building of poor houses, the whole be nefit of which would go to the landlords. He trusted Govern ment would t urn th e i r a tt en ti o n to th e su bj ect, an d i f poss ibl e give relief during the present Session. The Earl of RADNOR believed that the money borrowed for such a purpose was not payable for 10 Years. The Duke of RICHMOND said he thought the time ought of CUMBERLAN to extend t o 20 years —h e cou ld not t hi n k that itShould t`e ,or 30 h y ri. e a a n rs sw a e s r p to ro a p q o u se e d st b io y n t f l r i o e m pe ti t i i e ti p on u e k r e s. Lord DUNCANNON sa id t h at h e ht i d 1;e s D ub: ject of a N ew Tempprary Iloss to a nt\mber of different archttec4,. 'lll4 the iopiity of NA cotictlrit4 la opinion with it t A I IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS, Juzr 13. Mr. PERRIN replied in the negative. 1-k had consulted with his predecessor (Mr. Blackburne), and they were both of opinion that on the principle that a man should not be tried twice for the same offence no prosecution would be instituted by the Government. The Lon. Member entered at some length into the history of the transaction in which Slevin was implicated, but from the low tone in which he spoke we could not catch the particulars. In answer to a question from Col. PERCIVAL, Mr. PERRIN said the Government did not intend to enter a nolle prosequi. Mr. O'CONNELL had a petition to present from Slevin, but would not do so after the explanation that had been given.—( Hear, hear.) He hoped that if any prosecution took place, it would riot be by private individuals, but by the law officers of the Crown, or some responsible person autho rized by them. , Col. VERNER wished to ask the Attorney-General of Ireland, if thd , -sentence of transportation upon two persons who were convicted at the last Armagh Session, of a violent assault, had been commuted. Mr. PERRIN made a reply which was totally inaudible in the gallery. • Mr. O'CONNELL wished to ask whether any body bad been arrested, or whether any prosecution had been instituted against the persons who had burnt fourteen houses belonging to Catholics, a few days after that assault? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was not aware of any such circumstance. The assault took place on the 31st of December or the Ist of January last. Colonel VERNER—As the Hon. and Learned Member, has thought proper to introduce this subject on one or two' occasions,—( Cries of " Order, order," in the midst of which the Hon. Member sat down.) The SPEAKER called tho Hon. Member to order. Mr. O'CONNELL—I want an answer to my question re.; specting the 14 houses which were burnt on the 14th of Ja-, nuary.—( Hear.) Colonel VERNER srid, that it was a fact that two of the houses were set fire io by their occupants. CORPORATION BILL. In 'answer to a question from Sir R. PEEL, Lord J. RUSSELL said he should move the 3d reading of the Corporation Bill on Friday, and Irish Church Bill would be brought on on Monday next. The Report on the Corpo ration Bill would be brought up to-morrow, but if it could not be read a third time on Friday, it would be necessary to bring it on the first thin.. on Monday. . . . . Mr. WILK S thought it would be impossible in one.meeting to go through the various discussions. Lord J. RUSSELL did not think it would occupy so much time. If it did it would then be time enough to take a dif ferent course.—( Hear, bear.) Mr. D. if A R VI, Y gave notice, that he wou:<l move on the Rerort be* brought up, that a sum of 40,000!. being the in terest on the million advanced to the Irish clergy be raised by an additional charge upon the property of Ireland, subject to the poll ta4.—( Hear, h ear .) Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that unless some order was issued from the Horse Guards to prevent soldiers not on duty wearing their side arms, he should, on The next occasion of the House going into a Commitee of Supply, move that an address be presented to his Majesty, praying that an order to that effect be issued. Lord J. RUSSELL, suggested that it be referred to the Committee sitting on Military Punishments. HIS MAJESTY'S ASSENT TO THE IRISH_ CHURCH BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL—Sir, I have been directed by his Majesty to announce to this House, that his Majesty has been most graciously pleased to place at the disposal of Par liament his Majesty's interest in all benefices in the Church of Ireland.—(Tremendous cheering.) The Bill was then read a second time, and the House went into C9lrmittee on .the Bill pro forma. Sir - ROBERT PEEL—Suppose the Corporation Bill is not read a third time on Friday, and should take up some of the time of the House on Monday, then he supposed this Bill would not go into Committee till Tuesday. Lord J. RUSSELL, certainly. Mr. IIIjME hoped that if the Corporation Bill was not read on Friday, that the House would meet for that purpose on Saturday.—( Cries of " Oh, oh," - with Hear.") REFORM OF PARLIAMENt (SCOTLAND) BILL. Sir GEORGE CLERK gave nolice, that unless some change Were made in the mode of registration provided in the Reform of Parliament (Scotland) Bill, he should certainly oppose the second r ea di ng o f th e measure . The LORD ADVOCATE made some obscrvationi on the subject, which were inaudible in the gallery. MISCELLANEOUS F,STINIATES. Oa the motion of Mr. BARING, the House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. 'rho first resolution proposed was, " That a sum not ex ceeding 7,41 71. Is. Bd., be granted tohis Majesty for defraying the expenses of the settlement in Western Australia, from the Ist of April, 1835, to the 31st of March, 183 G." Mr. HUME strongly protested against this grant, which was in violation of the pledge given on the establishment of the colony. He wished to know how many of the original settlers remaided? They should either withdraw, or be com pelled to support themselves. Mr. BARING, as we understood the lion. Gentleman, was not prepared to give the Hon. Member for Middlesex the in formation which he required. Mr. HUME was of opinion . that, under those circumstances it would be expedient to postpone the resolution until the ne cessary information could be obtained. Mr. HORACE MISS observed, that all the persons in the colony would be ruined, if the grant were withheld. A discussion followed, in which Mr. Hume, Mr. Twiss, Lord John Russell, Sir George Grey, and Mr. Ewart, participated ; but it was carried on in so conversational a tone, as to be inca pable of report. Mr. ROEBUCK maintained, that the expense under con sideration was incurred only for the purpose of creating places. Sir GEORGE GREY denied that that was the case. Mr. HUME observed, that it had been a private specuJa tion of Mr. Peel's, and he could see no reason why the country should be called upon, year after year, to pay so much money for it. Mr. ROEB LTCK urged the postponement of the Resolution. Mr. WARBURTON asked why, as the colony of Western Australia was established, not under Government, but tmderpri vete auspices, it should have an establishment like that at Southern Australia, which was a Government colony ? Mr. HUME moved, as an amendment, " That the sum' be reduced to the grant of last year—namely, 5,806/. .ss. After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, which were not audible in the gallery, Mr. HUME said he would not press the Committee to' a division on that occasion ; but on the bringing up of the Re port, he should feel it to be his duty to take the sense of the House upon the point. The vote was then agreed to. On the question that 20,000/. be granted to defray the ex pense of the Indian Department of Upper and LOWer Canada, Mr. ROEBUCK rose to object to the vote. It was quite apparent that the 20,000/. 'were given away for nothing at all. The Indians, on whor a it was bestowed, were an idle , drunken disaelute race- ''Oy whom no sort of service was performed, and Trorn "tom • no service could be expected. ...-- Sir G. GREY observed, that the mon e y was g ive n for past services during the war. ROEBUCK replied, that though it might be well to remunerate, those by whom an actual service was perfol•mecl, he saw no reason why we s hould continue the sam e sort of remuneration to their desc endants. Therefore, tutiess some Baronet than (Sir that Gy): should ha..edb offeredould George , proposed to be given as p resents to by better the refazsi Fight the Indians, be deducted from the vete. Mr. HUME did not so much object to the ma i n t enance d g " co l u l l e d n b . cgive n move that the 1 5 , 300 /. faith with the Indians, as far as the iresants went; but he could not under tend how a staff, costing 4,700/, could be nee 7 , - • '4 ) \ I,±!
