POOR LAWS. Lord TEYNH AM gave a notice for Friday relative to the Poor Laws. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM wished to know when any steps would be 3 taken for the purpose of carrying the Poor Law Amendment Bill into effect ? The Duke of WELLINGTON said he for one was glad that the Commons had not yet put forth those rules and regu lations which the law required of them. Time would give them more experience. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM asked whether the Poor Law Commissioners had made any new rules or regulations ? Lord BROUGHAM replied that it did not follow that be cause the Commissioners:had given any orders, that they had made new rules. The orders alluded to were those general regulations required to be transmitted to the overseers by the act, and therein described.—The conversation then dropped. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND the House went into Committee upon the Oaths and Affirmation Bill. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY reported progress, and got leave to present the Bill to-morrow. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at half-past three o'clock. A messenger from the East India House presented returns of Compensations granted to retired Officers employed by that Company. A messenger from the British Museum presented the Annual Returns from that establishment —Laid on the table. ISLINGTON MARKET. Petitions in favour of the Islington Market Bill were pre sented by Mr. Duncombo, from the Counties of Cambridge, Oxford, &c. ; by Mr. Handley, from the County of Lincoln, and Grantham ; by Colonel Owen, from Leicestershire; by Mr. Wakley, from the parish of Islington, signed by 846 persons ; by Mr. Blamire, from Northwich ; by Mr. Clay, from St. George's East ; by Mr. Wodehouse, from Norfolk ; and by Mr. Williams, from Norwich. Mr. GROTE presented a petition from the inhabitants of the City of London in favour of the removal of the cattle market at Smithfield to Islington.—( Hear, hear.) The Marquis of CHANDOS presented petitions from the farmers and graziers of various places in Buckinghamshire, in support of the Islington Alarket Bill. Lord SANDON brought up the report of the Committee on the Liverpool Railway Bill.—Laid on the table. Mr. DARE presented a petition from Colchester, and an other from Chelmsford, against the Islington Market Bill. Mr. H ANDL Y moved the second reading of the said Bill. Mr. FOTTE R said—he had spent three or four hours that morning in Smithfield-market, and found that there was a very strong feeling amongst the salesmen and buyers against the removal of the market, and he confessed, that had he been aware of that before, he should not have joined in the oppo sition to the Bill for the enlargement of Smithfield-market. On examining the place, he saw no reason for the complaints made against it, for there appeared to be plenty of room, and for more cattle than were in it. If the market at Smithfield were given up, and removed to Islington, the consequence would '37: that markets would be required at the west end of the town, and other points of the metropolis, especially after the completion of the several rail-roads now in progress. He should not oppose the second reading of the Bill, but he should watch its course very narrowly. Major II A NDL E Y said he had followed the Hon. Mem ber who had just spoken to Smithfield.--(Laughter.) From the company in which he saw that Hon. Member in, he had doubtless imbided those impressions which he had just endea voured to convey to the House. As to the capacity of the market, the Hon. Member was not there at night, nor at a proper time of the day, to judge of it. When he (Ma jor Handley) was there last, there were two thousand head of cattle more than could be possibly accommodated, and there was always a surplus stock waiting for turn in the neighbouring inn-yards. He begged distinctly to state that the Bill now introduced was not intended to cause the removal of Smithfield Market, or to oppose the establishment of any other markets at any future time. All he asked was, let the Islington Market be established, and let the public judge which was the most advantageous of the two.—( Hear.) Mr. BL AM IR E thought the Hon. Member might take a higher ground in advocating this measure. He himself bad been particularly struck with the inconvenience and want of arrangement which prevailed in the market at Smithfield. He thought this question had not been rightly handled by the parties who were opposed to each other upon it. It did not appear to him that they had fairly examined the whole merits of the case. He thought if the city retained Smithfield Market, and the present Bill should pass, the result would be most unfortunate to all concerned and injurious to the public. He could not, consistently with his duty, impose upon the inha bitants of this City the responsibility of maintaining two mar kets. He knew of no place where markets were better regu lated than in Scotland, and he thought that the House in deciding upon the merits of this question could not have a better example before it. The system of consolidation was well understood there, and if Hon. Members looked over the list they would find that in Shires where 400 fairs were for merly held, now only 100 was held. He considered it impos sible to have the two markets--that of Smithfield and Islington —established, if the interests of the producers and provision merchants were at all to be consulted. Mr. POTTER explained. Mr. HEATHCOTE—The only difficulty to be obviated was the consequences of removing the market from Smith fiald, and these were, that the duties would be transferred from the superintendence of a corporation, and left at the discretion of an individual. Mr. WILK S—This Bill would not have the effect of re moving Smithfield market, as the Hon. Gentleman observed, but would take away the disadvantages which was experienced by the public from it, and afford them the scanty protection which Islington held out. Mr. HA L FORD, as the Representative of an immense grazing district, considered the continuance of the market in Smithfield as very desirable for purchasers ; whereas, if it were removed, it would create a monopoly, that would be dis advantageous only to another class of traders. He made these statements in order to show the House that the removal of Smithfield market to Islington, which was in fact the chief object of the Bill, was not in accordance with the general wish of the graziers of the country. Mr. WARBURTON denied that the effect of the Bill was to compel either butchers or graziers to resort to Islington market. As to the advantages or disadvantages of Smithfield, nothing contained in this Bill rendered it compulsory to resort to it. It was left voluntary on the part of the buyers and sellers to frequent whatever market they chose. The second reading of the Bill was then agreed to, without a division. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. Mr. HALIBURTON presented petitions from Halibur ton and another place in Argyleshire in favour of the Church of Scotland. PORT OF BRISTOL. Sir R. VIVIAN presented a petition from the branch pilots of the port of Bristol, praying, as we understood, that vessels which put into that port in consequence of stress of weather should be compelled to pay the lighthouse and pilotage duties. The Noble Baronet gave notice that en Monday, the 30th of March, he would call the attention of the House to the state of our foreign affairs as connected with Portugal. STATE OF CANADA. Mr. P. M. STE WA RT said he had a petition to preseut from the inhabitants of Montreal and its vicinity, in Lower Canada, and he thought it but fair to the House and the country to put them into the knowledge of the actual state of par ties in that country. The petition was signed by 11,170 individuals, of whom there were about 1,000 French Ca nadians, the remainder being British and Irish settlers. They first, expressed their gratitude for the security they enjoyed, under the protection of Great Britain ; and went on to state, that they regarded with regret and alarm the ten dency of the resolutions passed by the Ilouse of Assembly in that colony. But that, whilst they deplored the necessity of external legislation, they relied with confidence on the wisdom and justice of the British House of Commons. He ought to observe, that the Canadians were as much split into parties as was this country ; and there were distinc tions amongst the Canadians as well as elsewhere. There was a majority there of what were called Liberals or Refor mers, but there was a distinction there as here between Con stitutional Whigs and Radicals.—( Hear, and Laughter.) He believed there was a majority of the party called Constitu THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1835. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. THE PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. --- The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at a few minutes before five. Mr. BERNAL, from the Commons, brought up the Dublin Oil Gas Bill. The Duke of GORDON presented petitions from various parishes in Banff; Elgin, and Ross, in support of the Church of Scotland. Lord ROSEBERRY presented a petition from Stirling to the same effect. Lord BROUGHAM moved for a return of the number of schools in each town in Ireland, from the year 1809. The Noble and Learned Lord observed that these returns were already in existence, as they had been furnished in conse quence of a motion made by a noble friend of his ( Lord Kerry) In the other House.—Ordered. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the Chester Criminals' Execution Bill was read a third time and passed. The East India Compay's Indemnity Bill passed through a Committee. The Earl of ROSSLYN presented three petitions in fa vour of the Church of Scotland. EXPLANATIONS. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then rose, and claimed their Lordships' indulgence while he detained them for a few moments upon a subject purely personal to him self.—( Hear, hear, hear..) It was perhaps out of order to address thorn upon such a subject, but referring to the printed votes of the proceedings in the other House, now on the table, their_ Lordships would excuse him for detain ing them for a few moments--( Hear)--while he ventured to disclose the course which the Government and himself had taken upon proceedings relative to his own appointment. When Sir R. Peel made his arrangements for car rying on the duties of the Government, he was pleased to address him with an offer of the post of Ambassador to the Court of Russia. He confessed that he received that nomina tion with a great degree of pride, for he had no right to ex pect such an intimation from him—that appointment or offer was accompanied with a letter from his Noble Friend (the Duke of Wellington), and he felt great pride and satisfac tion that it should be considered that his Majesty's service would again be, in any degree, the better for his service. He confessed that he did not receive such a communica tion without pride, and he most certainly believed that after serving in the service of the country at Dresden, at Berlin--(Loud cheering) —and at Paris, and at Vienna, (Cheers)—where he considered that he had been instrumen tal in preserving the best interests of both countries—after having been the companion in arms of the most distinguished diplomatist of the day, he did think, however presumptuously, that so much opposition was undeserved. He might not be possessed of all the sagacity or prudence of the Noble Lords opposite him—(Cheers)—but he did believe that his conduct, while in the capacity of Ambassador before, had been for the benefit of bc,th counties. Another circumstance was, that he did not hastily embrace the offer, but it being made to him, and he believing that his services might be of use to his Majesty, he had certainly accepted the appointment. Hs felt it an honour to serve his King, but he felt also, as soon as he read the report of the discussion in the other House, that there was but one line for him to pursue as a subject, and a public servant. During a long course of military and other duties, he could say,—and he thought those who had of late become his political enemies could not contradict it--( Hear, hear)—that he had endeavoured to serve his King and his country to the best of his ability. If he were to depart from this country, after what had passed in the House of Commons be should feel himself, as a representative of Majesty, to be placed in a new and false situation. The remarks and animadversions which had been made by one branch of the legislature were so strong, that he conceived it impossible for him to fill the office to which he had been called, with proper effect. It was on these grounds, and standing, as he did, upon his sense a duty to his Sovereign, without meaning to succomb to faction, (though he should be devoid of feeling, if he was insensible to the scoffs and scorn which had been so unjustly levelled at him)--he was determined, upon no consideration what ever, to accept that appointment, which his Majesty had been most graciously pleased to offer him.—( Hear, hear.) He had come to that determination, upon the grounds he had stated, and without any communication with the Govern ment as to the course he should take; he had neither sought advice, nor had it been profered.—( Hear, hear.) Another opportunity might be afforded him of answering those unfair, unjust, and unexpected animadversions which had been passed upon circumstances that had elapsed sixteen years ago, but at this moment it was impossible to meet them in that House.—( Hear, hear) He wished to say nothing of the House of Con-Lions ; it was omnipotent, but if any member of that House had been placed in his situation, would he not have claimed and have been al lowed to defend hiinself?—( Hear, hear.) He would not al lude immediately to the originator of the motion, or particu larly to any one of those who followed him ; but very gross and false statements were made, and from them it was seen, (and he hoped, therefore, that that House would reflect upon it). how a public servant after a long per formance of duty to the best of his ability, were treated.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) After thirty years' service he could challenge his most determined enemy to bring one stain upon his character._ (Cheers.) He thanked their Lordships for the attention with which they bad heard him, and would not then trouble them further. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that considering that he was the person who was officially responsible for the nomi nation of his Noble Friend, he hoped their Lordships would excuse him for saying a few words. He had made the recom mendation to his Majesty upon his knowledge of his Noble Friend's real and important military experience, and upon his knowledge of his fitness for a diplomatic employment from va rious diplomatic services for many years, more particularly in one Embassy at the Court of Vienna for nine years. During that period he had performed the most important services to the sa tisfaction of those Ministers who had employed him up to the very last moment, and retired from that office with the strongest of approbation from the Secretary of State for that time. He was aware of some of the peculiar talents of his Noble Friend —( Hear, from the Duke of Cumberland)—and which were necessary for the particular office to which he was appointed ; and he was aware also of the peculiar fitness of his Noble Friend for this particular diplomatic employment, being a militpry officer of high rank and;reputation in the service of his country ; and, under such circumstancees, he considered himself justified in recommending that his Noble Friend should be appointed Ambassador to St. Petersburgh, and he was happy to find that his Right Hon. Friend concurred in that recommenda tion, and his Majesty was pleased to approve of that appointment. Under these circumstances he confessed that he felt the greatest regret that the nomination had gone no farther, and that it had not been approved of in another place, as it was in con sequence of that that his Noble Friend had thought proper (with that delicate feeling which could not but be admired) to decline the office. There was no prerogative of the Crown which should be held more inviolate than that of the ap pointment of its ambassadors. The Ministers of the Crown were responsible for their nomination—they were responsible for the instructions under which Noble Lords and others acted, and for the manner, in which they discharged their duties, Moreover, they were responsible for the due performance of those duties to the country and to the other House. It was impossible that the Commons could have interfered so far with the prerogative of his Majesty, as to say that the person nominated should not fill that situation, inasmuch as by so doing the House of Commons would have taken upon itself the nomination of the officers, and the direction of the particular duties they were to dis charge, and they would likewise relieve Ministers from the responsibility under which they laboured. For his part he would not believe the House of Commons would have taken such a part, and he thought the country owed a debt of gratitude to his Noble Friend for having declined the office to to which he bad been nominated.—( Hear, hear.) The Marquis L A ND SDO WNE objected to the irregular conversation which had just taken place, but as an individual lie could not allow the Noble Earl, or Noble Lord, to leave that House with the impression, that the disapproba tion which had been expressed at the appointment of the Noble Earl to the Embassy of St. Petersburgh, was in any degree connected with any personal disrespect whatever to the Noble Earl.—( Hear.) Were it to be so supposed, he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) would not stand there to make any explanation upon it, nor should he in any degree participate in it. Whatever might be the motives of different persons l i he was bound to say that those which he (the Marquis of Lansdown) enteatained might be entertained consistently with the greatest respect to the Noble Earl's consistency. and character, because he believed that the greatest objection to that appointment (so signally characterized as being the first appointment of his Majesty's present Ministers) the greatest objections were founded upon the belief that in all the opi nions recently recorded and expressed by the Noble Earl in that House and elsewhere, as ro the policy of the late Government, and as to the present state of Europe, the Noble Earl was most strenuously and decidedly op posed, and that he was, therefore, sincere in his opinions. It, therefore, was anything but disrespectful to' the Noble Earl so far as regarded the peace of Europe, as con nected with Poland, and as connected with the illegitimate pretensions of certain pretenders to the thrones of both Spain and Portugal. As regarded the peace of Europe, which was connected with the close alliance and understand ing with the kingdom of France, on which it was essential that this country should found and build its concert to preserve that peace, but to which the Noble Earl had repeatedly de clored that he was completely alien and averse. On all these points, if they believed in the sincerity of the opinions, and if they were convinced of the consistency of the conduet of the Noble Earl, they must naturally expect that he would be any thing but a zealous, willing, and efficient instrument to carry into effect that policy which they had not yet heard was to be changed—Loud cries of " Hear") but on the continuance of which he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) believed rested every chosen for the peace of Europe, and of that country. It was natural, therefore, that great anxiety should be felt on that sub ject by the country, and that that anxiety sheuld be partaken. In the country the public bad not the same means of ascertaining what passed, at their Lordships deliberations, and therefore that they could not feel the same interest which the people of that country did. He was satisfied that the House of Commons would, at all times, be careful bow it . would in any degreqinfringe upon:the;prerogative of his Ma jesty. He was sure it would at all times pause and deliberate and in every instance it had shown that inclination before it approached a subject surrounded by so many im portant considerations as the present one.—(Hear, hear.) Bound as they were to take care that the peace of Europe was preserved, it was their duty to watch every move ment of the Ministry, in order that the appointments to foreign Courts were properly filled up.—(Hear.) \Thal he had thought it his duty to offer in respect to that question was totally unconnected with sny persimal feeling towards the Noble Marquis; but he must say that the Noble Marquis had acted nobly in paying so much deference to the feeling of the House of Commons and the country as he had done upon that occasion. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM then rose, and said he would not consent that the subject should be put on personal grounds—it stood upon much higher— upon constitutional grounds; and he, for one, would not consent that it should be lowered.—( Hear.) Such opi nions as they had heard might do very well for a Com mittee of Saftey, but were not worthy of a Bri tish House of Parliament.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He had seen the Speaker of the Hobse of Commons often at the bar and claim the privilege of speech ; but that was the first time that he had heard that such a privilege was to be made the ground for taking a-,Tay the character and the appointments of any Noble Lord. The publishing of the reports of any speech in that or the other House, was a gross breach of privilege ; but now upon these reports, a Noble Lord came down to that House and made a speech founded upon the breach of privilege. Who, he would ask, was responsible for the appointment in question ? Not the House of Commons certainly, but the Government ; and it was the first time in his life that he had ever heard the character as the appointment of any Noble Lerd sacrificed to the caprice of any body of in dividuals. He contended that the other House had no right to express their opinion upon the appointment of any Minister until his unfitness had been shown—cntil the peace of Europe had been thought to be put in jeopardy, the House of Commons had no right to find fault with the appointment, which was a direct interference with the pre rogative of the Crown. That prerogative had now been ques tioned for the first time—would it be the last? Encouraged by the success upon this occasion, would the enemies of the Crown stop at that point ? He waredd the statesmen opposite, who might be Ministers soon, that the question was most important to them and to the coun try. Now was the time to make a stand for the prerogatives of the Crown—they were now attacked, and must be defended now or never. tional Whigs in Lower Canada. The petitioners further , stated that they were not insensible to the grievances that had been complained of, or to the fact that there were members of the House of Assembly holding office under the Crown. To the redress of those abuses he requested the attention of Hon. Members, and he could not but deprecate the inter ference that had taken place on both sides of the Atlantic on the affairs of Canada, firmly believing that had they been allowed to proceed according to their own plans, the complaints contained in the petitions would never have been put forward. In order to afford the Honourable and Learned Member for Bath an opportuninity of contra dicting statements that had been widely circulated, he would refer to an anonymous letter which had been as cribed by every Newspaper to the Honourable and Learned Member. It was dated on the 27th of November after the change in the Ministry, and was sent to Ca nada without any signature. It congratulated the Canadian legislature on the near approach of the Radicals to power, stated that Spring Rice had deceived them, and asked them if he returned to power to make his place as difficult as possible, by granting no supplies.—( Hear, hear. ) He was glad to learn from the speech made by a Right Hon. Gentleman opposite a few nights ago, that it was the inten tion of Government to do what they could for Canada. He learnt with pleasure that the Tenure Act of 1826 was to be re pealed, and that some other obnoxious laws were also under con sideration. He knew that it would be said that he was per sonally interested in the subject as a member of the Canada Company ; but in that respect he could say, that he had paid his money, and got nothing for it, and his only object, as well as that of the Company, was to encourage emigration, and to spread education in Lower Canada. That Company had been esta blished under the sanction of a Committee of that House, and its establishment was for the sole benefit of Canada itself. Mr. W. E. GLAD STONE here rose to explain, but most of his observations were inaudible in the gallery. We understood the Hon. Member to ask Mr. P. Stewart whe ther he thought it wise or prudent to open up such a dis cussion, under present circumstances? Mr. P. STEWART resumed. He observed that in Up per Canada representation was founded on population and property combined, but in the lower province it rested on population alone. He had now done his best to support the petition entrusted to him, and he hoped the Government would take the subject into their most serious consideration. He thanked the House for the kind manner in which they had heard him, and he considered that he had proved to the House that there were in Canada a sensible people, who could distin guish between right and wrong. Mr. ROEBUCK charged the Honourable Member who had just sat down with the most unjust garbling of his (Mr. Roebuck's) statements, by saying that he endea voured to persuade the people of Canada to take up arms, and his reply to this would consist in his reading the letter which had been referred to by the Hon. Member. The Hon. Member then read a long extract of a letter which concluded by exhorting the people of Canada to try all means before resorting to arms. He would ask whether that justified the statement which the Hon. Member then made ? What he had stated in that letter he still adhered to. Then the Hon. Gentleman talked a great deal about constitutional doctrine ; but he would ask, did not the Whig Government, in order to get the Re form Bill passed, excite the people of England, and he would in the same spirit endeavour to excite the people of Ca nada, in order to get them a Reform Bill, and a Reform Bill which he hoped would give them the power of governing them selves. They had resolved not to grant the supplies: would any one say that was unconstitutional, when such a course was even contemplated by a British House of Commons ? He knew it was contemplated in a very short time to try the strength of the House upon that, and it was intended to try that strength upon the Navy Estimates. Was rot that a constitutional mode of harassing the Government? If no one took that step in the course of ten days, he himself would do it ; and if the House did not stop the supplies, he would say, they did not fairly represent the people of England. The people of Canada had resisted the supplies, and he de clared that according to his notion of the law that was a consti. tutional step, and he hoped the House of Commons would endea vour to stop the supplies, in imitation of their good brethren of Canada. We are told by these parties, that it is an Eng lish and French dispute ; but he would tell him, that it was a dispute between Tory and Liberal principle—though the truth was, that the Tory party were much weaker, he was happy to say, in Canada than they were in this country. The only remedy that appeared to him, was a proper alteration of their Constitutional Assembly ; for he was convinced, that unless they did take away their constitution, as it stood at present, there would be no possibility of effecting any amelioration in their condition ; and if they did not, they would make one for themselves. He intended to abandon the first of his three mo tions—that for the better regulation of Canada—but he did intend most positively to press his other two—the principle of tenure and the Land Company Act. It was said by one that they proposed to reduce this grand tenure Act to what was termed the feudal system. Now the fact was, that it would embrace a system forming, as near as possible, an exact copy of the copyhold tenure in this country. Instead of, as he had been represented by some parties, stirring up a spirit of undue commotion in Ca nada, he had requested the people to give a hearing to the Commissioners, that they should meet them in a calm state ; but that in their representations they should adhere to these two distinct propositions, namely, that they should have the whole of the revenue under their controul, and that a decided alteration should be made in the legislative assembly. Mr. STEWART explained. Mr. Hume said it would appear, from what had fallen from the Honourable Gentleman, that as if the persons comprising this petition were the only loyal persons in Canada. Now, nothing could be more contrary to the fact, as he could assure the House that it was a principle deeply fixed in the minds of all the persons composing that colony. Sir R. PEEL was not then able to give the final answer which he had hoped to be able to give the Hon. Gentleman this evening. Mr. ROBIN S ON denied that there was anything in the petition presented by the Hon. Member for Bath ( Mr. Roebuck) of the menacing tone which that Hon. Gentleman had adopted himself, and described it to contain. It was a petition emanating from no particular sect or party in Canada, but was signed by persons of all religious persuasions, and of every distinction. There was not the slightest imputation on the conduct of their Canadian brethren, and what was stated by the Hon. Members for Bath and Middlesex was done for the purpose of mislead ing the House. The Hon. Member for Bath (Mr. R.) has expressed himself as desirous that the Canadians should harrass the British Parliament until they should obtain justice, and that unless they took that course justice would never be done to them. He hoped that the case of the Canadians had been still en trusted to the Hon. Member for Taunton (Mr. Labouchere), and they would have had their grievances sooner redressed. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. IRISH CHURCH. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in consequence of what passed the other evening relative to the Irish Church, begged to state, that since that time, he had taken the opportu nity of making some enquiries, and in the course of the week, had been informed, that some special reports of the Ecclesiastical Commission would soon be laid upon the table of the House, or at least were in readiness. Un der these circumstances, he begged to ask whether it would not be more advisable to postpone the motion,whichhe had previously given notice of, until the reports were in the possession of the House. If it were the pleasure of the House, he should therefore move for the production of the reports he had referred to without delay, and if it now met with the concurrence of the House, he would postpone the motion, which he had given notice he should bring before the House on Thursday next, until the following Monday. The Noble Lord concluded by moving that the special reports of the Irish Ecclesiastical Commissioners be printed and laid on the table. Sir R. PEEL—I beg to ask the Noble Lord whether he should not have given notice of his motion? The Noble Lord has means of procuring information upon this subject which the Government does not possess, and the House should, at least, have notice of this motion before it was called upon to affirm a resolution—namely, that the Govern ment was desirous to withhold information, which would be the effect of assenting to the motion which the Noble Lord now proposed. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had not the slightest objection to comply It ith the suggestion of the Right Hon. Baronet • but he begged to inform the Right Hon. Gentleman that he (Lord J. Russell) had communicated his intention to make this mo tion to the Secretary of the Colonies, and to the Under-Se cretary of State. Sir li. HARD INGE—Since the commission has been established we have not interfered in the slightest degree. Mr. SHE IL—There is a clause in the commission by which the Commissioners were directed to report immediately, after they have investigated the state of each parish. Sir R. PEEL—all I can say is that they have not exercised the power given to them under the commission.—( Hear.) Mr. SHIELD, it was for his Majesty's Government to call upon them to fulfill their duties.—(Loud cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL—I must then beg leave of the House to postpone my motion.—( Cries of " Hear, hear," and " No.") I will to-morrow state to the House what is the course I mean to pursue.—(Laughter from the Ministerial benches.) AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. The Marquis of C HAND 0 S wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet when he meant to bring forward his plan of his agri cultural relief. 7 _ Sir R. PEEL thought that the best plan would be to wait until the end of the financial year, when he would be able to bring forward the whole of the financial statements at once, which he promised to do at the earliest possihle period. He thought the best time would be in the month of April, when the attendance was fullest. LORD LONDONDERRY'S EMBASSY TO RUSSIA. Lord JOHN RUSSELL wished to know after what had passed in this House on Friday night, whether it was still the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to send the Marquis of Londonderry as the representative of this country at the Court of St. Petersburgh. Sir R. PEEL—I will give the Noble Lord an answer without the slightest hesitation.—(Hear, hear.) About an hour since I received from my Noble Friend, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a letter which he had received from the Noble Lord, (the Marquis of Londonderry) in which letter that Noble Lord stated that he felt, after considering the debate which took place in this House on Friday night, that on accepting the high situ ation of Ambassador of this country to the court of St. Peters burgh, his services would be greatly impaired. He felt it his duty, therefore, to resign the situation to which he had been appointed.—( Hear, hear.) I am bound to state !that this course has been taken by the Noble Lord entirely upon his own judgment, without any solicitation directly or indirectly from any person.—( Loud cheers from the Ministerial benches.) Lard JOHN RUSSELL—I rise to say that I think that after what passed in this House on Friday night, the Noble Marquis (Londonderry) could not proceed as our ambassador to St. Petersburgh, with, as the Right Honourable Baronet has just said, any hope of public usefulness.—( Hear, hear, hear.) I admire the .manliness with which the Noble Marquis has come to this determination, but at the same time I am bound to say that the prerogative of the Crown must suffer by the judgment of the House of Com mons passed upon the appointment. I must, at the same time, say that the appointment was altogether so ill advised, as to render the interference of this House necessary, and to justify the observations of the Honourable and Learned Member for Tipperary, and other Hen. Members.—( Hear. ) But I must say, that in the experiment which we are making —an experiment which the Right Hon. Baronet ( Sir Robert Peel) calls a fair trial—we arc running a considerable hazard of bringing the most useful prerogatives of the Crown into some discredit. If offices of great trust are confided to persons in whom the House of Commons and the country feel no confidence, the House of Commons are bound to express their opinions upon those appointments. He felt that in the present case it was most unfortunate that his Majesty's Government had not selected a person against whom such strong objections were entertained.—( Cheers. ) He felt that it would greatly diminish the respect in which the Government of this country was viewed by Foreign Courts —( Great cheering)—when they found the notification of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that an Ambassador had been appointed, cancelled, if not by a direct vote, by the implied censure of the Houseof Commons.—( Great cheering.) he could not help giving expression to these statements, con sidering the Noble Marquis by no means a fit person to be sent out as the Ambassador of this country to the Court of St. Peters burgh. The blame, rested not with that Nobleman or with the Crown, who had made the appointment, but with the Mi nisters who had advised the Crown to do so.—( Loud cheers. ) Sir R. PEEL—Sir, the Noble Lord has assumed that the retirement of the Marquis of Londonderry took place in con sequence of the course that had been pursued by the House of Commons.—( Great cheering, for several minutes, from the Opposition.) I was not going to deny that it took place in consequence of the discussion in the House of Commons. No thing would be so unfair and unjust.—( Cheers.) But I wish to remind the Noble Lord that it was a discussion, and not an act or authorised proceeding of the House of Commons which could be considered in the nature of an address. When the Right Honourable Baronet, the Member for Not tingham, asked me whether it was my intention to advise the Crown to cancel the appointment, I felt it was my duty to state that I should not consider it my duty, as a public man, to tender that advice.—(Great cheering.) Some lion. Gentlemen may suppose that the act of the Marquis of Londonderry has taken place in consequence of some indirect communication with the Government to those gentlemen. I would say that such is not the case and that the proceeding is the unsolicited act of the Marquis of Londonderry himself.—(Loud and repeated cheering.) The appointment had no doubt met with the disapprobation of some of /the Members of that House who expressed them selves dissatisfied with it in the course of the debate. But if the Noble Marquis requires it, it will be some consolation to know that the same Members who were dissatified with his appoint ment also objected to the re-appointment of Viscount Canter bury to the Chair of the House. If the Noble Lord opposite and those who are connected with him that they can form a Government possessing more of the Confidence of the country then that to which lam attached.—( Cheers.) The proper course for him to pursue will be to give notice of a direct motion which the Hon. Member for Middlesex has intimated will be given, and then we shall be able to see whether uppon the result of that motion. The Ilouse of Commons will be prepared to accede to a motion, the acceding to which will be tantamount to the removal of Ministers.—( Hear, hear. ) In my situation I consider that no slight vexations, no personal disagreeables, should induce me to relinquish the place which I fill. If the question respecting Government is to be brought to issue, the only way to decide it will be, not by indirect motions, which it is- hoped will not be acted upon, but by a dirett appeal to the House respecting its opinion of the Go vernment.—( Hear, hear.) The questioe should be put di rectly to the House, whether a government more fit and more in accordance with its sentiments can be formed ; and no man can ba more anxioussthan myself that the question should be tried. Mr. HUME rose, and was commencing to speak, when Lord Stanley rose to order, observing that there was no ques tion nefore the House. Mr. HUME continued—He said he considered the Noble Lord's call to order quite unnecessary. The Right Hon. Baronet had, in alluding to Viscount Canterbury, cast a reflection upon him and other Members near him, which the Right Hon. Ba ronet had no right to do. From what had just been said by the Right Hon. Baronet, it was evident that it was not a slight mark of want of confidence which would convince the Right Hon. Baronet and his colleagues. It was only a direct expression of opinion which would convince them, and he hoped that this would soon come.—( Hear, hear.) The con duct of Lord Londonderry had raised him in his opinion, and proved that he had more discretion than the Right Hon. Ba ronet and his colleagues.—( Hear.) His Lordship had not run counter to the opinions of that House as the Ministers had. —( Hear, hear. )—They said they wouid proceed notwith standing the opinions of that House.—( Hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet had said the other night, that his ( Mr. Hume's) eggs had brought forth no chickens—(hear, hear, and loud laughter)—but his egg was good as long as it was left in a good nest.—( Hear and laughter.) The Right Hon. Ba ronet's egg, however, had produced nothing, although he and the Noble Duke had been sitting on it se long.—( Laughter. ) he sould like to see the letter which had been addressed to the Autocrat of Russia on the appointment of the Noble Marquis. He should also like to see how he would receive (as the Autocrat was not usually consi dered very much in favour of popular measures), in what manner he would receive the letter certifying their obligation to withdraw. (LEFT SITTING.) RELATIVE POSITION of WEYMOUTH and SOUTHAMPTON with Regard to GUERNSEY.* We have no other motive in calling the attention of our readers to this important subject than guarding them against being misled in their own conclusions. The present mode of ready, safe, and efficient steam conveyance to and from Wey mouth is highly satisfactory and most creditable to the Post office department. We should not presume to introduce the matter, but that we have heard some inquiry is geing forward, and report has even given us to understand that an idea is entertained of removing the packets from Weymouth to South ompton. We proceed therefore to the material points of the subject. Guernsey bears from Weymouth (by chart) S. 4 W., distant 65 miles : Guernsey bears from Southampton (by chart) S. S. W. W., distant 95 miles, thereby showing an increase of distance by sea more than Weymouth, of 30 miles. South ampton bears (by chart) from Weymouth, E.N.E., distant between 50 and 60 miles. " A sight of a chart will at once satisfy any sailor of the great advantages of Weymouth as a packet station. It will be seen that Southampton lies between 50 and 60 miles E. N. E. of Weymouth ; and as the winds are from the W. to the S. W. quarter full two thirds of the year, or at all events in the winter months, it is obvious that Southampton labours under the greatest disadvantages both in point of distance by sea as well as position in the British Channel to leeward. Having fairly shown the advantages of Weymouth over Southampton, the more inquiry is made into the relative merits of the t wo posi tions as packet stations, lesser no doubt will be the probability of Southampton becoming the chosen port. " Weymouth's great superiority of position to windward, added to the extensive local advantages of Portland Roads over Southampton as a station for packets, is so great that we shall confidently leave the subject to rest on its own merits." * We transfer this article from the Star and Guernsey Advertiser. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—CtrELmsFonD, MARCH 13. George Risby, a labourer, aged 43, was indicted for the wilful murder of John Spooner, at West Bergholt, on the 4th of August last, with a scythe. After a long trial the Jury found that the prisoner was Guilty of the fact, but that he was in an unsound state of mind. Lord DENMAN—You then acquit him, on the ground of insanity ? The Foreman assented, and his Lordship ordered the prisoner to be removed. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—ArLEsauRr, MIRCH 11. THE EARL OF CHESTERFIELD V. JOHN LEE, ESQ., LL.D. This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff against the defendent for cutting down some trees in three closes in the parish of Hartwell. The parish of Hartwell was enclosed in 1777, and about ten years afterwards two pieces of ground at Twivydale were planted with trees by the plaintiff who has at various times cut them down and used them on his own farms. It also appeared that his Lordship had exercised similar acts of ownership in a plan tation called Starveacre, situated in another part of the pa rish. The defendant claimed these three closes as some of the manor, he contending that they were part of the waste lands, and cut down trees to try his right. The Court and the Jury were of opinion that the Earl of Chesterfield by his planting and cutting down trees in the closes in ques tion had obtained such a title to the freehold as the de fendant was now unable to make, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff accordingly.—Damages 5/. ATTORNEYS AT LAW IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY. —Attorneys at common law, men verie honest and learned, yea, and also verie necessarie for the practi ce o f th e comm on laves of this realme, and finishing of other civill bu sinesses ; insomuch that by no i means their labour an d ser vices may want. And yet such s the unthankfulness of this afr b e, that even their own events (of whom they h ave b est de served,) when they have served their turns, so that they see no present occasion to use them any -longer for the fault of some few will uneth afford the best of them one good word for many good deeds. Nay, which is worse, they will gene rally slander and condemne them as covetous persons and dis turbers of the common peace and quietnesse of all men by un necessary suites. Where, in verie truth, th e mos t part o f t h e said attorneys , being very peaceable, do oftentymes dissuade their clients from the same, so much as they can, by means whereof they greatly offend their minds, insomuch they will for that only cause suspect them of affection towardes the adverse parties, and threaten earnestly that if they will not intermeddle therewith others shall.— West's Symbolcograpky, 1590. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A man named John Glover was charged with having passed a bad shilling. A shopkeeper of Wormwood-street, deposed ;that the prisoner walked into his shop, and in an off-hand way paid for some trifle with a shilling, which the witness, not for a moment suspecting, threw into his till. At that instant a neighbour entered and said, " This fellow is passing bad money." The prisoner attempted to get away, but was detained. A woman was outside apparently waiting for him. Prisoner—My Lord, you must not believe what he says ; I know too well what good money is to take bad. Prosecutor—l found upon looking into the till that there was a bad shilling in it. Prisoner—Aye, aye! Bow many were there? Fellows like you keeps bad money in your till to change for the right sort. Prosecutor—The only shilling in the till happened to be that which I got from you. Prisoner—Your Lordship won't believe him, I'm sure. The Loan MAYOR—lndeed Ido believe him. Why should I not Prisoner—Why, how could any one think I'd be such a fool as to go to pass bad money when I had a twelvemonth already for it.—( Laughter.) The LORD MAvon—Oh, then you are an old trader? Prisoner—l've had a taste, and you don't suppose I want to cross the water when I can get a living here with honest money ? The Comptcr turnkey said that the prisoner was ready to acknowledge that he bad had twelve months' imprison ment, because he knew that if he (lid not say so mention would be made of it by somebody else. Prisoner—l have sarved my time like a man for the time I was in, and that's the very reason I won't do any thing wrong again. Say what you will, there's nothing like an honest penny after all. I'm sure I wouldn't put my hand to anything that's out of the way.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—WeII, you are a clever fellow, but Mr. Powell shall have a look at you, and I think we may, with his assistance, send you over the water. Prisoner—Can the prosecutor swear that I gave him a bad shilling? Not a bit of it ; don't you believe it. The LORD MAYOR—You shall go to the Compter till Monday. Prisoner—But you will order my good 3s. Gd. to be given back to me ? If it gets into that man's possession it may turn bad like what I gave him. There's no trusting ' anybody now at all. I'm bless'd if I'd trust my mother.— (Laughter.)—Remanded. GUILDHALL. A female of respectable appearance, named Eliza Toysbin, and her daughter, about 12 years old, bearing the same name, were brought before Mr. Alderman ANS LEY, charged with shop-lifting. Mr. Barnicott, of the firm of Parkyn and Barnicott, drapers, Ludgate-hill, stated that the prisoner came into his shop between six and seven o'clock on Friday evening, and selected some flannel, calico, &c. &c., to the amount of Gs. While the shopman was making out the bill the girl asked her mother if she should leave then, and the mother answering " You may, my dear," she went into the street. This being thought suspicious, though nothing was missed, the girl was watched, and was found to stay at the window of a shop close by. She was brought back, and being searched, a piece of silk, containing 84 yards, and worth 101., which she had stolen from the counter, was found under her cloak. The child, on being asked why she took it away, said she knew her mother wanted money to redeem some things in pledge. She had another parcel, which contained two shawls which her mother said she had been redeeming at Mr. Whisker's, a pawnbroker in the Commercial-road. On the mother was found ten yards and a half of gingham, some diaper and dimity, and three separate yards of flannel. As a single yard of flannel was the first article she purchased at complainant's shop, he suspected she had been in three shops to see what she could purloin, under the pretence of buying a yard of flannel, and had succeeded in stealing the shawls and ging ham. In fact the owner of the shawls had already been traced. The younger prisoner thought her mother bad pur chased it. The mother said it was quite a mistake as to the silk, but the other goods were her own property. She had re deemed the gingham from a pawnbroker on Tuesday. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY said the case required some fur ther investigation as to where the goods had been purchased or redeemed, and as to the previous character of the par ties. He should therefore remand them till Monday. B 0 W- STREET. Henry Harris was re-examined on a charge of picking the pocket of a Mrs. Cohen of a purse containing two sove reigns and some silver in a Whitechapel omnibus. The prosecutrix entered the omnibus in question accom panied by her son, aged about twelve years, where she found the prisoner, who wore green spectacles. After they had proceeded a short distance the prisoner came close to her side, and became very assiduous in his attentions .to her. She was disinclined to enter into any conversation, and re moved to another part of the carriage, whither, however, he followed her. She at this time felt her purse safe in her pocket. She now observed that the prisoner came even closer to her than before, and that he pressed against her side. The omnibus shortly after pulled up, and the pri soner immediately sprung out. She instinctively put her hand to her pocket, which she found had been cut open and her purse abstracted. She then immediately called out that the prisoner might be stopped, but he had succeeded in making his escape. The prisoner was, however, appre hended in the course of the day at a public-house in the neighbourhood of the Strand, well known as a resort for thieves.—Committed. MARYLEBONE. A whimsical son of Neptune, who gave his name Charles Wiped, who is minus a leg, which was taken off at Trafalgar, was charged with having bilked a cabman of his lawful fare, under the following extraordinary circum stances : 'William Pie, the driver of the cab in question (No. 1,257), took the defendant up in Vere : street, Clare-market, the preceding evening, and r eceived instruction s t o d r i ve , with all celerity, to Abbott's wine vaults, Battle-b r id ge . On arriving there the defendant alighted, and at once frankly acknowledged that he had not a shot in the locker to pay the fare with, but referred him to Mr. Abb o tt, w h o , he said, was his most intimate friend, and would at once discharge it. Mr. Abbott, however, refused to do so ; when Jack told c omplainant that if he would drive him home to Greenwich Hospital he would be sure to get his money. Complainant, however, being somewhat doubtful of this, at once refused, and gave the sailor in charge, when he was taken to the station-house. Mr. SHUTT (to Jack)—What have you to say ? Jack (hitching up his trowsers)—l've to say this here, your Honour. When I got into that land-lubber's cab I own I was rather groggy, but my wooden leg was all right as a trivet, your Honour ; and when he set me down, I found that it was gone, and I had only this here leg to stand upon, the only one which the Monsieur has left me. Find ing this was the case I refused to pay the fare till my timber-toe was found, and for this I was conveyed to limbo. Mr. SHUTT—What do you suppose they've done with your leg? Jack—Shiver my timbers if I know, unless they've spouted it. The cabman here begged leave to assure his Worship that when Jack entered the cab he had no wooden leg, but stood exactly on the same footing as he did then. Jack—lt's a thundering lie, you've put it up the flue. Cabman—What use is your wooden leg to any one ? Jack—Why, you lubber, it will either do for a leg, or may be used to play at single-stick with. Mr. SHUTT, after a little consideration, decided that Jack was in the wrong, and ordered him to pay 7s. 6d., the amount of the fare, and the cabman's loss of time. Jack, not being prepared with the needful, was led hop ping from the office, and consigned to the lock-up. UNION-HALL. Two tradesmen solicited the Magistrate's advice relative to a gang of swindlers who had recently planted themselves in High-street. One of the applicants had let a house to a man of gentlemanly appearance, on his giving a reference to a person who then appeared to be very respectable, but who he now found to be connected with a gang of swindlers. By this stratagem they got into applicant's house, and now they bid him defiance, and would neither pay the rent nor leave the premises Various tradesmen in the neighbour hood had been had been duped by the parties, and the house was surrounded by persons who persons who had been duped of their goods. The other applicant was a baker, and the parties cam plained against had swindled him out of 101. worth of bread, and he could not get a " mag" from them. It was stated that there were several other tradesmen outside the office, awaiting the result of the application, to ascertain if the Magistrate had not the power of punishing the parties. The Magistrates could not interfere. HIGH WIND.—The high wind on Thursday week blew down the garden wall of Mr. Steele, of Risbygate street, in Bury, and a wall in a meadow in Field-lane, be longing to Mr. Portway. Several chimney -pots were also blown off, and many roofs of houses much injured. The Moniteur du Commerce of the 9th instant, sagaciously remarks "that if rumour is to be relied on, the development (!) of materials for forming a Cabinet is as far off now as ever." [The difficulty of the development does not appear to have been very great : the Citizen King, following the example of our soldier-statesman here, has virtually taken upon himself all the offices of all the functionaries in the State.
