SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Irish Tithe Bill was brought in last night by Lord Morpeth, and read a first time. It was laid on the table amidst loud cheering. Sir R. Peel an nounced that he should not oppose the second reading of the Bill. As the Bill comprehended some enact ments in the general policy of which. he concurred, and others to which he felt a most decided objection in point of principle, on the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair, for the purpose of the House going into a Committee, he should move that it he an instruction to the Committee to . divide - the Bill into two, in order to enable himself, and those with whom he acted, to reject altogether, if they could, that por tion of the measure from which they entirely -agreed. Our readers will have anticipated the part of the Bill of which he disapproves. He ticoncurs in the policy of substituting, for tithes in for the composition of tithes—the imposition of a rent charge—but he disapproves of making the rent charge perpetual, and he also disapproves of the omitting in the Bill some provision for the conver sion or redemption of the rent charge on the land. But his grand objection is to the appropriation of eccle siastical property to other than ecclesiastical purposes immediately in connection with the interest of the Established Church ; and to the suppression of the cure of souls in 808 parishes in Ireland. The Right Hon. Baronet will not only not oppose the second reading, but he will not, he says, trouble the House by speaking on the occasion. The great debate is; there fore, to be on the motion for going into the Committee. Lord John Russell, in answer to a question from Sir Robert, replied that Lord Morpeth would move the second reading of the Irish Tithe Bill on Monday next, and in the course of the week he meant to propose that the Report on the Corporation Bill be brought up. On that occasion he anticipated considerable discussion, but he did not think that the third reading would occupy much time. Immediately after the third reading of the Cor poration Bill, his Noble Friend would propose that the House should go into Committee on the Irish Tithe Bill. His Lordship, with reference to appro priation, said_ he should be prepared to contend, that without it no settlement of the tithe question would prove beneficial to the Church of Ireland. The Standard lays down the doctrine that without the King's personal permission first obtained under the sign manual, the Bill cannot be read a second time. " A Bill surely(says our contemporary) cannot be suf fered to go to-a second reading without that proof of the King's acquiescence which the law and the constitution require, a declaration under the: sign manual." And yet Sir Robert Peel does not intend to oppose the second reading ! How is this ? The Right Honourable Baronet might at once crush the Bill—the Irish Church Robbery Bill, as it is modestly termed . by our Contemporary—and he 'fails . to take advantage of the opportunity ! Is this treachery? It looks very like it, after he had been so seasonably enlightened by the Standard. Ministers have a straight forward course to pursue in dealing with the revenues of the Irish Church. The Commission has proved, that the Protestants are a small fraction of the pOpu lation of Ireland, that many parishes do not contain even a single Protestant. The question is not, which . of the two religions, the Catholic or the Protestant, is the best ; but whether the whole revenue of the. Protestant Church shall be exclusively devoted to the maintenance of Protestant clergymen, even in cases where they have no duties to discharge. Times and the Standard, and other Tory • papers, not,, therefore, advance their cause one whit by the abtise which, day after day, they lavish on tha . religious doctrines and the discieline of the Cath lies. It is not ; surely, neccssr rr to demonstrate to Protestant li.',u;lishincn that their religion is bet , ' ter than that of the Catholics, for they are already persuaded of this : and the Catholics will not by such means be - induced to relinquish their attachment to their own religion. But - without a violation of every principle of equal justice, we cannot compel our Ca tholic fellow-subjects not merely to pay for the c! „ 7. O Gicir P " there• . bu: t o re no Prot..::, tiork , . If t:le •.re stmen,titious, to appropriate for their instruction a part of that revenue which is not required for the main tenance of teachers to Protestant flocks must surely facilitate the work of their conversion to a purer faith. But 'the opponents of Ministers make the alleged in. feriority of the Catholics a pretext for continnin, to?, ar:s them a treat:ll , 2m which tends to prritiat , .! :derioritv. We cannot by compuhion make tha Catholic-,; • Protestants ; but we may by unjust tr,!attnent inflame them with animosity against the Protestants, and thus confirm:: the disorder to which Ireland has so long been a prey.—Morning Ch ronide. There is an anecdote current, and it was published b•. an evening centtmporary last night, respecting an address of his Majesty to Sir Charles Grey, on occa sion of the worthy Baronet being sworn in Commissioner to Canada. It is said that his Majesty, on Sir Charles Grey rising ft om his knee, warned him fl! , fl inst suffering Canada, through his means, to be " lost or given away." The sentiment was that of a sound and manly-hearted Briton. We trust there is no such fate in store for Canada; but in all reverence and loyalty to our Sortpe.4o, we are not sure that such extra official and irregular warnings arc the best or safest *modes through which a King of England with respon sible advisers can communicate his commands to those by whom they are to be executed.—Times. In the early sitting of yesterday in the House of Commons the County Coroners' Bill occupied the at tention of the-House, and occasioned in Committee an interesting discussion as to whether the Coroner's Court should he open, cr the contrary. The Committee even tually decided that the Court should be open, or rather refused to leave it to the judgment of the Coroner, -as to whether it should be so or not. According to the amend ment of Mr. Pouher the discretion is in future to rest with the Coroner and Jury, and not with the Co roner alone. We confess - we are not disposed to quarrel with the amendment. The mere declaration of its being an. open Court would amount to little if that declaration gave to every Coroner the power of clearing his Court at his discretion—a power which, judging from expe rience, we may presume would not be unfrequently ex• ercised. We admit that in many cases the Jury may not be such competent judges as to the propriety of a private investigation as the Coroner; but any occasional inconvenience-or evil resulting from that would be as nothing when compared with the advantages of their having a voice in the matter. The Jury being united with the Coroner when the discretion was exercised to close the Court would give a confidence to the public which they would not otherwise have, particularly in case's where political feelings might be supposed to mingle with the motives of the Coroner, or in any way to influence his conduct in excluding the public from an investigation in which they generally might be deeply interested. It-is a gross mistake to compare a Coroner's Inquest to the Grand Inquest of the county —or, in other words, to a Grand-Jury room. They certainly are both called Inquests, but in no other respect do they at all assimilate. A Grand Jury has to inquire whether there is a sufficiency of evidence to warrant them in placing a man upon his trial who is charged with a given offence. It may be reasonable enough that where they refuseto send a man to trial, owing to insufficiency of evidence, they should refrain from allowing the public to become aware of any circumstances of mere suspicion which might exist, and which, though in sufficient to warrant the finding of a true bill, might yet be sufficient to destroy, and perhaps unjustly, his reputation in the world. A Coroner's Inquest, on the other hand, has only to ascertain whether or not a crime has been committed at all. Here there is an essential difference in the nature of the duties of those Courts ; but the difference in principle is so striking as to induce wonder that any one could pre tend to see a similarity between them. In the first place, a Coroner is elected for life, and, once elected, there is no hold on him afterwards except through the medium of public opinion. The Grand Jury-, on the contrary, are re-chosen, every Assizes, so that there is little chance of perpetual error, _while an injudi cious Coroner, might keep a whole district in a state of excitement as long as he continued to exercise his duties—i.e., far life. Why, then, give a power to one lean which may be, as it too often has been, exercised most mischievously ? We would put it to those who opposed the amendment of Mr. Poulter to say, after, fairly considering the question, whether, with the dis cretion vested in the Coroner and Jury, the Court, when the discretion may be exercised to close it, will not bear a far greater similarity to a Grand Jury than it would do when closed by the Coroner against the wishes of the Jury, _who would be at liberty, as soon as the doors were opened, to publish everything that took place ? Even if the Coroner's Court were to be declared an open Court, without any discretion to either Coroner or Jury to close it, although instances of inconvenience, and, perhaps, occasionally of a de feat, of justice . might occur, y e t th e ev il s o f a c l ose Court appear to be so obvious that, upon the balance, we cannot help thinking that the former would be pre ferable to the latter.—Morning Herald. In the House of Commons last night the Irish Tithe Bill was brought up by Lord Morpeth, and read a first time ; but on the motion that it be read a second time, Sir R. Peel took the opportunity of stating his objections to certain parts of the Bill. He agreed in the policy of securing the collection of tithe by the substitution of a rent charge on the land, but broadly declared his hostility to that part which appro priates the surplus revenue of the Church to the edu cation of the people.' He• stated his intention of moving, as an instruction to the Committee, that the Bill be divided into two parts,' in order, as he con fessed, to enable him, and those who agreed with him, more effectually to reject those portions of the Bill from which he dissented. Sir Robert could assent to the proposition of converting the tithe composi tion into a rent charge, because such arrangement would more safely guarantee their annuities to the idle and pampered Clergy ; but he has " an especial objection to the wholesale sweeping away of spiritual charges in Iceland I" The spiritual charges which Sir Robert is so anxious to preserve are the incum bents without parishioners—the profligate parsons and their misapplied revenues. Lord John Russell in timated that the day after the Corporation Bill would have been read a third time, Lord Morpeth would propose going into Committee on the Irish Church Bill. Mr. Shaw's remarks were in his usual style, making assertion serve for argument. One sentence, however, deserves consideratidn, when he said, " But truth was, it was not because the Church was in efficient, but because it had been too efficient: Not because it had done too little, but because it had done too much." Rathcormac to wit I No doubt, if the Established Church had not done too much in the persecution, and too little in the instruction, of the people, the ascendant religion would now reckon more than one-tenth of the population as its members. Sir Robert Peel acknowledged that his object in proposing to divide the Bill was to escape the odium of rejecting it altogether. In this admission he evinced a frankness at variance with his habitual guile ; but we trust the Ministry will have sufficient judgment and decision to spurn'the proposition, and to adhere to the Bill as it already stands. Let them remember that it was the resolution to appropriate the surplus funds of the Church to purposes of general instruction which hurled the Tories from office ; and if, as on a former occasion, they renounce the instrument of their eleva tion, it may be long before another opportunity be given them to violate the public confidence But we have no apprehension as to the result. We place great reliance on the present Cabinet, and even if we did not, there is another source of confidence which will not disappoint uc—we mean the enlightened and liberal Spirit which influences .the great majority of our fellow eaun tremen.—Morning Advertiser. We give a copy elsewhere of the Bill brought in by .Mr. Hume for the permission of music and dancing in public-houses. It is purely and simply an Act of repeal—not conferring any right or title to have music : and dancing, but abrogating in every respect the power at present enjoyed by the - Magistrates of granting or withholding such licences. It recites the clauses of the 25th and 28th George IL, entitled " An Act for preventing Thefts and Robberies, and for better regu Eating Places of Public Entertainment," Sec., which clauses declare. that all houses, rooms, gardens, or ether elecea b.ept for public dancing or entertainment, within Lemlen and Westminster, or twenty miles thereof, shall be deemed a disorderly house or place, unless licensed under the hands and seals of five or more Justices of the Peace, Sec. ; and the Bill enacts that the said recited provision shall be and the same ie hereby repealed. - The effect of the Bill will, there fore, be to leave it to the option of every one to have, music in his houSe, as he may think proper—ther e being no law, after its passing into an Act, for punishing any one who may choose to recreate his customers with such amusements. It would, per haps, be well for some time to come were Legislators to confine themselves, in a similar manner, to the mere work of demolition, instead of attempting to engraft new laws upon old statutes, which have long been felt to be a grievance.—Morning Advertiser. - Our readers will find in our report of the Parlia mentary proceedings of last nit ht a statement by Sir Robert Peel of the course which it is his intention to ptirsue in reference to the Irish Tithe Bill. A more judicious line of conduct, in our view of the case, it would be impossible to adopt. Sir Robert Peel, on this, as on every other occasion, will give effect to all Of good that is to be found in the measures of his op ponents, and select for opposition - that part only which is obnoxiOus in the principle upon which it proceeds, and ruinous in the consequences which it would draw down. But to pursue this course in reference to the Measures proposed by the present Government is a task of no small difficulty. In the composition of their measures there is so much of evil woven up with so little good—so many schemes for effecting party pur poses under the guise of legislating for the general be nefit—so many clap-traps to catch ephemeral popularity, with so few provisions to ensure permanent advantage, that a statesman who attempts to adopt any portion of the enactments proposed by such Ministers as the present, undertakes a labour of incredible mag nitude in the task of selection. If Sir Robert Peel were to follow the most simple course, and the one easiest to himself, he would, under other circum stances, originate a measure, a n d p ro p ose it f or t h e adoption of - Parliament, and give an unqualified op position to that at present before the House. But then comes the question, what are the wretched clergy of Ireland to do in the meanwhile, if another Session pass over, nothing having been accomplished to extri cate them from their present miserable position ? This consideration it is, we have no doubt, and this alone, which prevents Sir Robert Peel adopting the line we have pointed out ; and in allowing this consideration to have weight on the present occasion, we believe the Right Hon. Baronet to exercise a sound discretion. -The course ivhich - Sir IL Peel means to pursue is to move, on the question of the Speaker's leaving the chair, an instruction to the Committee to divide the Bill, and to separate that part which goes to the appropriation of ecclesiastical property to other than ecclesias tical purposes from that which goes to relieve the suf fering Clergy of Ireland. By this course those Mem bers of the House of Commons who might be led to vote for the present measure, as one which, at all events, will extricate the Clergy from their present hor •rible position, will be relieved from the necessity of sanctioning a robbery of the Church, in order to pre vent the starvation of its Ministers ; a dilemma in which we believe many honourable and conscientious men were induced to prefer the former alternative from seeing no other choice left to them by the Government. The other points to which the Right Hon. Baronet will confine his opposition are clearly stated in his speech. The great battle, upon the result of which the fate of the Irish Church depends, will probably take place on Friday the 17th, or on Monday the 21st inst. It is the bounden duty of every Conservative and Christian Member of the House of Commons to be in his place on that day.—Morning Post. iP i:ot to iwve STATE OF TRADE.—The Leeds Mercury states that at the Bradford wool market very little business had been doing last week, and that prices were lower. There does not appear to be much activity in the yarn market, for the report of wool being lower induces the manufacturers to buy with greater caution, fearing a decline in the price of yarn, but the spinners are unwilling to yield to such fears. At Halifax, on Saturday, trade was flat, and the prices of manufactured stuffs were with difficulty maintained. At the Liverpool, York, Wakefield, and Doncaster wool nfarkets prices remained sta. tionary. tAt,the Rochdale flannel market, on Mcnday, low flannels still continued to be dull ; the finest qualities were worst to sell, lut strong greys for dyeing were in good re quest, and floor and scouring cloths very brisk. THE SUN, LONJJ EDNES]JAY, JULY 8, 1835. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFI CE, Seven o'clock. THE PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Lord DENMAN took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'Clock. The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice that on Monday next he should move the second reading of the Bill.relative to Charitable Loan Societies in England and Wales. PRISON DISCIPLINE. The Noble DUKE then laid upon the-table the third Report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the disci. pline of the several Prisons in England and Wales, which was .ordered to be printed.. Mr. Alderman WOOD and others from the House of Com mons, brought up the Worcester Infirmary Lease Bill, the Argus Life Insurance Company Bill, and the Stretton Enclosure Bill, with the Lords' amendments, to which the House of Commons bad agreed. Also a Bill for consolidating the laws relative to the recovery of small debts, to which the House of Commons desired the concurrence of their Lordships. The Small Debts' Recovery Bill was read a first time. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, their Lord ships then adjourned. Conviction that any change of the duties which would limit the supply of timber from the colonies, or raise the cost, - would operate most injuriously. They stated that, notwith standing the assertion that the Colonial timber was inferior in quality to that imported from the Baltic, they were ready to prove that the I;ed pine was alike in quality in all countries, and the yellow pine was only to be got in the colonies. The petition was most numerously and respectably signed ; and he moved that it be referred to the Select Committee then sitting on the subject. (JO USE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at balflxist Three o'Clock, when there were about twenty-eight Members present. Mem bers, however, continued to drop in, one by one, till the Speaker had counted thirty-eight. At this moment there was a gene ral rush of Members from the galleries and the lobby, and the Speaker ascended his chair amidst cheers and laughter. CARLOW ELECTION. The SPEAKER informed the House that be bad received a notice from the Clerk of the Crown in Ireland, stating that a petition bad been lodged in that office, complaining of the return at the last election for the county of Carlow. A day was fixed for taking the petition into consideration. DE TRESSAN'S NATURALISATION BILL. On the motion of Mr. Alderman WOOD, this Bill was read a third time and passed. HOLYHEAD AND SHREWSBURY ROAD BILL. On the motion of Sir H. PARNELL, this Bill was read a third time. Mr. HALLYBURTON brought up the Report of the Committee upon the Newtyle Rail-way Bill. CORPORATION REFORM. Captain BERKELEY rose to present a petition from the city of Gloucester. against that clause in the Municipal Cor poration Reform Bill, which took away the rights of free men. The petitioners complained that those rights having been so long enjoyed, and having been confirmed to them by the Reform Bill, it would be extremely unjust to deprive them of those rights under the name of a Reform of Corporations. He concurred most heartily in the prayer of the petition, which was signed by 500 out of the 700 freemen of Gloucester, and he trusted that when the Report upon the Municipal Reform Bill should be brought up, this petition, and the others of a similar nature, which had been presented, would have due weight with the House.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman WOOD rose to present a petition from Glou cester, which was also signed by 500 individuals of that city, amongst whom were the names of a considerable number of freemen ; the petition was very strong in favour of the great measure of Corporation Reform-:-.( Cheers)—and spoke in the highest terms of satisfaction of the Government which brought it forward. He was sure that the Gallant and Hon. Member who had just presented a petition would support him, when be stated that the greater number of the names attached to this pe tition were of the highest respectability. The petition, as he be fore stated, contained the signatures of a considerable number of freemen There were some circumstances connected with the petition presented by the Hon. Member (Captain B.) which he thought it would be only just in the Hon. Member to have stated. The Hon. Member must know that a con siderable number of the persons v% ho had signed the peti tion which he (Captain Berkeley) had presented, were children in one house (as we understood); four children had signed the petition as children.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") He unlerstood there was another petition to be presented by the Hon. Member onpo.site (Mr. Hope), end what the compkxion and object of that petition was, ,he (Alderman Wood) did not know—( A laugh )—he supposed, however, as the petition of the Hon. and Gallant Member contained the signatures of 500 freemen out of the 700, and as his (Ald erman Wood's) contained the signatures of a considerable number, (he did not know the exact amount of freemen), he presumed that -the ~petition to be presented by the Honourable . Mem ber (Mi.. 'Hope) -would contain the signatures of all the other _freemen. He only hoped there would be no boys amongst them.—( A laugh.) Whether this petition should breathe the same expression as that presented .by the Hon. and Gallant Member, or a different one, he hoped and trusted that it would not prevent the House from carrying to its full and legitimate length the principles of this Reform (Cheers.) There was one point to which be wished to call the attention of the House. The boundaries of the city of Gloucester had been fixed by the late Reform Bill, and the petitioners were very much alarmed lctt the: , should be taxed doubly—namely, with the county rates and aftcrw,rds with the borough rates. He thought it right to call the attention of the Noble Lord, the Member ft* Stroud, to this point, and he trusted that it would be attended to. In a!1 other respects, as this was a liberal Corporation and a liberal hotly of freemen, • he hoped they would not press upon the iieuse to alter in any respect the Bill as it stood. Mr. HOPE bad not yet received the petition alluded to by the Hon. Member for London, but be expected it daily; he thought the petitioners had a very strong right to exprtss their opinions upon the Bill which bad excited very great alarm he bebevcd in the country. Captain BARC L AY explained that the petition was signed by only 100 adults, and the rest were boys. VOTE BY BALLOT. Mr. E \V ART presented a petition from Liverpool, signed by upwards of 7,000 persons, in favour of the Vote by Ballot. The petitioners stated their firm conviction that the Reform Bill could never effectually be carried into effect, unless the vote by ballot was conceded. The Hon. Member also presented a pe tition against the monopoly in the Beer trade. Mr. JAMES GRATTAN presented a petition from a person named Doyle, residing in the county of Wicklow, against the act called Perrin's Act. _ _ Mr. A. TRE VOR presented a petition from the Treasurer of the city of Durham against that part of the Reform Corpo ration Bill that deprived them of their rights. The Hon. Member thought the measure, as it respected the rights of freemen, unjust ; and trusted that his Majesty's Ministers would see the necessity of making very material alterations in the Act es it at present stood upon that subject. Dr. BAI, DWIN presented a petition from a Roman Ca tholic priest, in the county of Cork, praying to be allowed to vote out of his Ecclesiastical freehold. Mr. SPE IRS presented a petition from the Western dis trict of the county of Stirling, complaining of the conduct of the Sheriff' of that county in having violated one of the princi ples of the Scotch Reform Bill, by ordering the polling to take pl,lee at an insignificant spot. Mr. HE ATHCOTE presented a petition from Tiverton, in which the petitioners stated that they did not concur in any of the statements contained in the petition presented by the Corporation of Tiverton on a former day, and praying for the passing of the Corporation . Reform Bill. Also one from the Trustees of the Tiverton Turnpike Trust, ap-ainst a clause intended to be moved by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough in the Highvays Bill. Mr. RICHARDS said he had so framed his clause as to meet the wishes of the petitioners. BONDING WAREHOUSES. Mr. WALLACE nrcEented a petition from Greenock, complaining of the Treasury minute affecting the bonding warehouses.—( Hear.) The laws on this subject, as they had been settled in 1822, had worked very satisfactorily, and to the benefit of the out-seaports, and that without any hurt to the London Docks, or any others in the port of Lon don. There was a mistake abroad relating to this Treasury Minute--many thought that it only extended to Scotland, but he could assure Honourable Gentlemen that it would extend to every port in the three kingdoms, and most seriously affect them all. Commissioners had been sent by the Go vernment to examine into the state of the warehouses in the out-ports, 'and nothing like an allegation had been made. that the revenue had suffered in the slightest degree; on the contrary, a greater decrease had taken plade in the bonded warehouses of the London Docks than in the out-ports. If the Treasury minute was allowed to take effect, the Houie might rest assured that it would be contrary to the spirit and meaning of the law. It appeared to him ( Mr. Wallace), that the arrangement had not been made with that openness, of propriety which should characterize the conduct of a Govern ment. There had evidently been an unfair leaning to the Joint Stock Companies of the London Docks in this Trea sury minute, and which had deprived the out-ports of those privileges of which they so justly complained.—( Hear.) The Hon. Member concluded by announcing his intention to move for a Committee for Inquiry into this subject, and that if necessary he should divide the House upon the question. Dr. BO WRING presented a petition to the same effect from the Provost and bonding warehouse Proprietors of the port of Glasgow, and expressed his concurrence in the remarks of the Honourable Member who had just sat doWn. He thought that while there was no proof of damage and injury of the Revenue, Government had notTnade out a case to justify this House in interfering with the rights of private property. SPIRIT LICENSES. Mr. WALLACE also presented a petition from Fife against the present post-horse duty, and another from Mr. James Stevenson, of Greenock, complaining of the conduct of the local Magistrates in refusing to grant him a spirit li cense. He hoped that a clause would be inserted in the Cor poration Reform Bill to take the power of granting licences out of the hands of Justices of the Peace, for it was a source of great injustice as well as a disagreeable duty to perform. Mr. RICHARDS supported the motion. TAXES UPON KNOWLEDGE. Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from Dean Richards of Aberdeen, praying that the Bill for uniting the two colleges of Aberdeen, might not pass. Also a petition from Lestock imploring the House no longer to delay the removal of the taxes upon knowledge. TIMBER DUTIES. Captain PECHELL rose to present a petition of very great importance, signed by a very numerous body of the mercha n t s and traders as well as ship-owners of the different ports of Sussex. The petitioners stated that they heard with deep re gret that a Select Committee was sitting for the purpose of assimilating the timber duties upon timber imported from the Colonies and the Baltic. They expressed their IRISH CHURCH REFORM. Major BE AUCLERK held in his hand a petition which he had been entrusted to present to that House, and of which he took the liberty yesterday evening of giving notice. The petition was one of considerable importance. It was from the borough of Reigate, in the county of Surrey, and out of 160 of 101. voters in that borough, 105 had signed that peti tion. The petition prayed that the Corporation Bill then before the House might be brought to a speedy result ; and, also, that a Church Reform should :take place in Ireland. They considered that the large establishment maintained in that country was an insult to the people of Ireland, and a de gradation to the people of England. They considered that Ireland was the only country on the face of the globe that was insulted by' a Church Establishment differing from the general religion of the people. Amongst all our colonies we had never attempted to impose upon them a religion dif fering from the religion of the people. In Canada, indeed, we had attempted it, but the attempt was not borne with, and the Church in that' country was now Catholic. At all events they supported their own Church, but not out of the re venues of the State. He was one of those who main tained that whilst it was right to pay the Clergy, and he was himself willing to pay them amply, he would never agree to insult the Catholics by seeing a handful of Protes tants keep up a large establishment which was not at all in accordance with the religion of the people. This was his opinion, and unless this principle were carried out, they would never, and ought never to give satisfaction to that country. The Government would certainly not give satisfaction ,until the Protestant Church should cease to be kept up in that country, to insult the religious feelings of the country. This, he was sure, was the feeling of the great majority of the people, and he could t e ll th e Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Freshfield) who threatened him with being thrown out in the next election, that that declaration had given great pain in the county of Surrey—it proved nothing, and only tended to bring on per sonalities. He would again state that the petition presented by his Hon. Colleague ( Mr. Alsager) on a former day against the Irish Church Bill, had not the support of one-tenth of the inhabitants of the county which he represented. .He was convinced that the great body of the people differed from that petition—the petition which he then held in his hand proved this, and several other petitions would be shortly presented from the same county in support of the measure of Irish Church Reform before the House. He would give that measure his warmest support. Lord E A STNO R said if the statements of the Gallant Offi cer were founded in fact, it was a matter of regret to him to differ from a considerable portion of those whom he had the honour to represent, but he believed that pains had been taken to create excitement on political subjects in that port of the county of Surrey latterly. The petitioners ex pressed a wish that the Municipal Reform Bill might be carried through the House as it was originally proposed. He had not opposed the principle of the Bill, because he thought it was necessary that it should be established ; but he could not go the whole length of the Bill —ninny of its clauses, in his opinion, going too far. He was as anxious as any man to support the Bill, as far as he believed it was consistent with good, but he would support it no further. With regard to the Irish Church Bill—that also, in his opinion, went too far; he thought, and had always done so, that the Established Church should be duly maintained, and he would not support or adopt any measures that would destroy the sufficiency of that Church in Ireland; but, at the same time, he was as anxious as any man to adopt improvements that would be consistent with sustaining that Church. When the Bill was discussed, he should feel it to be his duty to do that which he thought would be for the interest of • the country. With respect to the English Church he was willing to admit that there were many things that might be altered, and any alterations for its good he would always be found ready to support, but in doing so he would always maintain its efficiency. With regard to what the Gallant Officer had s!ated as having fallen from the lion. Member for Penryn, he he did not feel himself called upon to mike-any observation. Mr. FRE S HFIFiLD• could assure the Han. and Gallant Member that in any observations he 'had made, he meant no thing uncourteous to ¶dm. • Ho had, however, a little mis-stated what he • had said ; what he had stated was, that if he continued to advocate the . prin ciples he avowed - tbat - -night, 'be would only have to await another election to see - whether his constituents would sanction it or not. He believed that those who thought differently from the Gallant Officer were net worthy of the appellation he had given them, of wrong-headed persons. The Gallant Officer had been elected by the Conservatives of the Countrof Surrey—(Hear, hear, and cries of " No, no," from Major Beauclerk)—they had thought him the better member of the two reform candidates, and therefore they had paid him the compliment of electing him as one of their representatives, a compliment which he (Mr. Freshfield) believed he big-lily deserved.—( Hear, beer.) The Honourable and Gallant Officer had said that many of his ciaistituents had expressed their astonishment at the statements made by him (Mr. F.), to the effect that if he pursued the same line of conduct •?..s he was then doing, he would stand same chance of haviag their Confidence withdrawn. On the other hand, he (Mr. F.) had received the thanks of a public meeting, for his conduct in the House. He assured the Gallant Officer that he did not fincl fault with him in an ill-nature.d manner or spirit, hut merely meant to give him a • hind caution— Laughter)—which a constituent might do to his reere seatative. Mr. DENISON .would 'not trouble the House upon the subject, but having been the representative of the Eastern Division of Surrey, he must say that he, not having been pre sent when the Learned Gentleman made his statements, read them with a great deal of astonishment; and he would ask the Hon. and Learned Gentleman what opportunities he had of learning the sentiments of the constituency ? He was not in the Commission of the Peace, nor did he attend their meetings, and he had lived in the county for a very short time, and as he (Mr. D.) had understood he resided in the Western Division. He certainly Was much surprised to hear the Learned Gentle man say that the Hon. and Gallant Officer was returned by the Conservatives. He (Mr. D. ) decidedly denied that statement. He was returned by a strong and influential body in the county, under the name cf Reformers, which' he trusted would yet increase. He hoped when the Hon. and Learned Member returned to his pure and immaculate borough of Penryn— (Loud cheers and laughter)--he- would meet with as cordial a reception as the Hon. and Gallant Officer was sure to re ceive from his constituents. Major BE AUCLERK said he had been twice returned for the Eastern Division of Surrey. The first time he went into the field in the last week—he spent no money, or almost none, and ho would ask the Hon. Gentleman opposite how many thousands were spent on the other side ? And yet lie was now told he was returned by the Conservatives.— ( Hear.) He had always openly expressed his sentiments upon the hustings, and he would be very much pleased if those sentiments had gained him the support of the Conservatives.—( [lear, hear, hear.) On the hustings he had stated openly he was a strong advocate for Cnurch reform—a strong advocate for a thorough reform in the Irish establishment—( Hear,. hear)—and yet he was now told that be sat there as the representative of the Conservatives in the county ! He knew there was a strong party of Conservatives among his constituents, who had honestly voted against him, but he believed that the great body of the constituency were honest well-meaning Reformers. He would like to ask whe ther lie had the honour of the support of the Hon. and Leaned Member ?—( Laughter. ) Mr. WILKS said he had gone . down to Ricgate to support the Honourable and Gallant Officer, and he therefore was one of his constituents who admired the manliness of principle exhibited by him, and he promised him his support upon the next occasion. PETITIONS. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition signed by up wards of 500 Freemen of Gloucester, in favour of the general principle of the Corporation Reform Bill. Mr. DUNCO MB E presented a petition from a place in the North Riding of Yorkshire, praying that it might not be an nexed to York under the Corporation Reform Bill. IRISH CHURCH. Mr. DUNCOMBE also presented a petition from the clergy of the North Riding, in which they stated the alarm they felt at the appropriation cf the revenues of the Church to other than ecclesiastical purposes, and praying the House not to pass the Irish Tithe Bill in its present shape. TITHES. Mr. WILKES presented a petition from a person resident in Gray's Inn Lane, complaining that he had been proceeded against for nine years' tithes, when he had only resided in the house four years, and praying for an alteration in the present tithe-law. The Hon. Member announced his intention of in troducing a Bill next session to set this matter at rest. Captain PECHELL supported the prayer of the petition, but was sorry that he had protracted his intention of bringing in a Bill till next Session. If no one else would do so, he (Captain Pechell) would very shortly give notice of the early introducing a short Bill to settle the matter. Mr. SINCL AIR considered that this House was likely to become a Star Chamber for the persecution of the Clergy.— (Laughter.) He protested against these ex-parte complaints against Clergymen arraigning them at the bar of Parliament, without allowing them any opportunity to rebut them. Captain PECHELL thought such observations were very unfair after what had taken place in this House upon the sub ject of tithes, and especially so in regard to himself, for he stated to the House when he presented the petition that he had given seven days clear notice to the clergyman against whom the complaint was made. Mr. SINCLAIR—I was not alluding to you. Captain PECHELL—Yott compared the proceedings to those of the Star-Chamber. I never made an unfounded com plaint against any clergyman, and I defy the Hon. Member to say that I have.—( Hear.) Mr. WILKS— If he had made a personal complaint, or had gone through the history of that large parish since the present incumbent had come into possession, and related all that might have been said against the clergym an , h e m i g h t have b e en liable to the charge o the Hon. Member, but he had not done so. The Hon. Member explained. Mr. I. D hoped that same short Bill, declaratory of the law upon tithes, would be soon before the House. Captain CURTEIS instanced a case in which while the Tithe Collector got 6/. per acre, the Landlord got only 20.. s and the Farmer not a sixpence. Such a state of things called for the prompt interference of Government. BONDED WAREHOUSES. Captain PECHEL-L was instructed to ask whether it was intended to interfere with the present arrangements respecting bonded warehouses? Mr. P. THOMPSON—As the subject was soon to be brought under the c'onsideration of the House, he thought it better, and he was sure the Hon. and Gallant Member would agree with him, to reserve till then any information that was required on the subject. Mr. HUME thought it would save great trouble if the Orders in Council and Minutes of the Treasury were laid on the table. IMPORTATION OF, WOOL INTO FRANCE. Mr. HE ATHCOTE whiled to ask the Right Hon. Gen tleman a question respecting the importation of English wool into France—namely, whether any steps had been taken to lower the duties upon wool in that country ? Mr. P. THOMPSON said France had reduced in some de gree the duties upon foreign wool imported into that country. At the same time, he promised that the Government would not diminish their efforts upon this respect to induce the French Government to alter their duties, and to diminish the duties upon. English produce.—( Hear, hear.) IRISH POOR. Lord MORPETH brought ,up the third Report of the Commissioners appointed,to enquire into the state of the poor in Ireland.—( Cheers.) CORPORATION REFORM—INSULT TO THE HOUSE. Mr. DIVETT rose to bring forward a subject to which he begged the particular indulgence of the House. did not see the Hon. Member for St. Ives present. Mr. HUME suggested to the Hon. Member to postpone his motion till the Hon. Member for St.- Ives was in his place. Mr. DIVETT saw the Hen. Member for St. Ives in the House about half an hour ago, ar.d told him that he would certainly bring - the subject before the House at five o'clock.—( Hear, hear.) Under these circum stances, he conceived that he was ,not bound to postpone the subject, merely because the Hon. Member for St. Ives did not choose to attend. He would simply confine himself to reading the notice of the Hon. Member for St. Ives. Mr. Divett then read the notice, which was as follows : " That all Prisoners in Newgate, and the other gaols in England and Wales, although possessing no other qualification, be, upon the principle of the Bill, entitled indiscriminately to an equal participa tion in all the franchises, as well magisterial as elective, thereby created ; and that, to obviate all uncertainty or doubt of tbe bene volent intention of the Bill, and the happy tendency thereof, being, in effect,, to render all the higher ranks of his Majesty's loyal and respectable subjects subordinate to the lowest, without regard to property or character, a clause be introduced, in accordance with the same principle, expressly enacting to that effect ; and that it may for ever thereafter be well understood, that the whole popu lation in the Corporate jurisdictions are, in all other relations of life, placed upon a footing of perfect equality, agreeably to the na tural rights of man ; and also, a clause to provide a suitable retreat for the gentry residing within these jurisdictions, and who, with a mind and feelings becoming their station, may seek an escape for themselves from the scene of such a revolutionary infliction." He thought that the Hn. Member ought to apologise for such a notice as this, and he moved in the strongest language possi ble that this notice be expunged from the Journals.—( Hear.) Mr. HUME seconded the motion. He always under stood that notices were intended to call the attention of Members to subjects of practical importance. Therefore it was that he joined his Hon. Friend in thinking that the notice should be struck out of the Journals. Mr. DIVETT conceived that the notice was a gross insult to the House, and the electors of the country. He had no wish to make the motion in the absence of the Hon. Member. —(Cries of " No, no," "Go on.") He had given the Hon. Member full notice of it, and as it seemed to be the wish of the House, he would now move that it be expunged from the journals of the House. Sir GEORGE CLERK doubted whether any thing could now be done with respect to this notice. He supposed, as the n:ourable Member had given notice of this motion, that he intended to found a resolution upon it—(Cries of " Oh, oh !")—if he made such a motion, and it was entered on the journals of the House, it would then be competent to move that it should be expunged from the journals. In the shape however it at present stood, he thought the House ought not to interfere. He did not see what the Hon. Member would get by expunging it from the paper, as it would be competent fur the Hoe.. Member who had given that notice to renew it at any time. Mr. WARBURTON hoped the Hon. Member for Exeter would consent to move that it should be expunged only. He (Mr. W.) locked upon it rather as a speech than a notice. Mr., RUTH VEN thought the motion rather premature, as, in his opinion, the notice was.not worth more than laughing at, and that its absurdity was its best answer. Mr.. DI VETT could only suppose that the notice was in tended as an insult to that house, when it had been coolly and delibcyately put upon the notices. He begged to persist in the motion as amended by the Hon. Member for Bridport, that the notice be expunged. Colonel PEOCE - VAL suggested that the Hon. Member should defer his motion till to-morrow. He thought that many notices of a similar .nature had previously appeared in . the Journals of that House, without calling forth such severity of censure. Mr. RICHARDS agreed with the Hon. Member for Exeter that it was art instance of very had taste ; but if his notice was persevered in, it would lead to a very inconve nient precedent. Sir C. 13. VERE thought the House might express its censure, and condemn it, but striking out the notice would be a v, ry dangerous precedent. Mr. DIVETT seeing the sense of tile •House was against him, would withdraw his motion. Mr. FLUME would not consent to such a notice being printed in future with their proceedings, and be would therefore move that it be discontinued from among the notices. Mr. MILES said the feeling of both sides of the House appeared to be, that the matter was utterly unworthy of no tice ; and li' regretted that this discussion had given it any further notoriety. Colonel L. HAY differed very much from the Hon. Member for Somerset. He, for one, would not consent to its re maining on the printed notices of the House, and should take the sense of the House upon it. Mr. WILK S regretted that the question had been brought forward at all. As it was, he would by no means consent to its being printed in future with the miuutes.—( Question.) The Earl of LINCOLN said a few words, amid cries of " Question," " Divide." Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Gallery was cleared for a division; during our exclusion we understood that a lengthened and animated discussion took place, and that the motion was agreed to without a division. IRISH POOR LAWS. Petitions in favour of the Poor Laws for Ireland were pre sented by Messrs. FITZSIMON and FINN. Sir R. MUSGRAVE moved the second reading of the Poor Relief ( Ireland) Bill. He did not, expect that any Hon. Member would rise in his place, and deny the existence of distress in Ireland, for there were too many living proofs 9f it, and he felt justified in the course which he had pursued. when the cholera or infections complaint prevailed in Ireland, scenes of the most appalling distress presented them selves. He had himself attended as a member of the Cholera Committee, and their first task was to provide straw, not merely for thole who were, suffering, but to prevent the spreading of the contagion.—( Hear.) several small houses, three and four families crowded' together, without even sufficient straw to lie on. Whilst abundance of corn and provisions were exported from Ireland, those who raised them had not sufficient straw to make his bed. The Hon. Baronet /hen read an extract from the Report of 1830, to prove the gfeat evils that arose from the labourers being turned out of their holdings. It was impossible for language to convey an idea of the distress to which the ejected were reduced, and as might naturally be expected in every riot or disturbance, such persons were always found most active and most violent. It was they who formed themselves into bands who formed Committees, and who deliberately resolved upon the assassina tion of those who opposed them. (LEFT SPEAKING.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 7. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL had been in hopes that he should have been enabled to proceed with the Municipal Cororations gill that evening in Conn - ilium ; but as he intende'd to propose some alterations in the measure, as well as several new clauses, which might, perhaps, lead to opposition, he did not feel him self fully prepared for the discussion. He thought it better, therefore, to postpone the further proceeding with the Bill until Thursday ; and he moved, therefore, that the order of the day for going into a Committee be read, for the purpose of postponing it. Before he sat down, he begged to say, that he understood that in his absence a petition had been presented with respect to the appointment of Colonel Lindsay to the command of the Fifeshire Militia. The petitioners ought to know what was the state of the law on the subject. The ap pointment of Colonel of Militia rested with the Lord Lieute nant of the County, with this reservation, that he might notify the appointment he wished to make to the Secretary of State, and that if the Secretary of State did not intimate to the Lord Lieutenant his Majesty's disapprobation of the selection, the appointment was to stand good. The supointment, therefore, by no means rested with the Secretary of. State—it rested only with the Lord Lieutenant. Difference of political opinion would never justify the Secretary of State in intimating his Majesty's disapprobation of the Lord Lieutentnt's choice. With this understanding of the law, he (Lord John Russell) had felt it his duty, when Lord Rosslyn nominated Colonel Lindsay, not to signify any disapprobation on the part of the Crown. This explanation he had thought it necessary to make, as the affair had been much misinterpreted. Sir ROBERT PEEL bad never known difference of po litical opinion alleged' as a reason for setting aside the ap pointment of a Lord Lieutenant. The uniform practice, since the passing of the Militia Act, had been in contradiction of any such principle ; nay, he had no doubt that it was intended by that law that such should be the practice ; thus depriving the Crown of the power of making party considerations the ground of an appointment of that nature. Thus much for the general principle ; and with respect to the particular case, he must say, with respect to both parties, that he was per suaded Lord Rosslyn was incapable of an improper recom.; mendation ; and that the Noble Earl could not have selected a man of higher character for the post in question than Colonel Lindsay. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. Mr. FRE SIIFIELD begged to ask the Hon. and Learned Attorwny-Genora: when it was his intention to proceed with the bnplisonnient for Debt Bill ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had hoped he should be able to proceed with it in the present week; but he found that there were other subjects which would occupy the ati.eil tion of the House. He trusted, however, that he should be able to bring it under the consideration •of the House uext week ; and to go on with it, morning after morning, uittil th e discussions upon it should be concluded. Mr. HORACE TWISS protested against the considera tion of such a question during the morning sittings of the House, at which it would not be possible for professional mot to attend. The ATTOTNEY-GENERAL, however, (as we under stood the Hon. and Learned Gentleman),' persevered in his determination. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS. Mr. C. BULLER gave notice that; On . the bringing up cf the Report of the Municipal Corporations . Bill, he should submit to the House a proposition disputing the right of ex isting Corporations to grant leases of Corporation pro Perth dated since the introduction of the Bill. Mr. HOGG. Mr. CHARLTON observed that as the Hon. Member fat: Huddersfield was now present, the Noble Lord would, per haps, allow him to trespass upon the attention of the House . ;. for a few moments. It was well known that the Report of one ! of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of:' the Municipal Corporations had not been-laid on the table of the House. Mr. Hogg, the individual in question, finding that differed from his brother Commissioners on the subject, sent a Report to the Noble Secretary of State, which the Noble Lord, howeVer, declaring that it was personal and irrelevant , declined to receive. Now he (Mr. Charlton) had reason .to , think that it was neither p ersona l nor i rre l evant . O n t h e Re- port of the Commissioners, the so-named important MainiciOal Corporations Bill was founded; and yet it appeared that the opinions of two of the Commissioners (Mr. Hogg and Mr. Wilkinson) were not in conformity with those of the ether Commissioners. From their statements it appeared that iro'lel of the evidence in favour of the existing Corporations had -been ke;,t back. In his opinion, the least that the Hou- , e • , could do, before•they consented to a measure which was calcu.s lated to derange social order, to invade the prero g atives of the Crown, to violate the rights and privileges of-- The ATTORNEY-GENERAL spoke to order. There Itt was no question before the House. The SPEAKER observed that the question before the House was to read the order'of the day for going into a Colt mittee on the Municipal Corporations Bill, for the purpose of postponing it. It was not usual on such occasions to raise a discussion on another question; and the effect of the intro duction of extraneous matter must be the defeat of those Hoe. Gentlemen who bad notices on the bookp of the House. Mr. CHARLTON said, that to remove all objections in, point of order, he would conclude with a inotion____(Tbe 7 Speaker and several Hon. Members declared that the Ha' Member for Ludlow had no right to do 50..) Well, then, he would merely ask if the Noble Lord bad received Mr. Hoge s ' protest on the subject, and if he would lay it on the table ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL answered, that as he had told the House some days ago he had received a paper from Mr., Hogg, which that gen tl eman h a d fi rst ca ll e d a repor t, and had then called a prote s t. C on t a i n i ng , as i t did, on ly ge" `' neral observations, be did not conceive that it was his duty to receive it, and of course he could not lay it on the table. i • Mr. BLACKBURNE o b serve d, t h at if M r . H ogg hat , 1 chosen to send in his reports with respect to the places w hich' he had been appointed to visit, they would have been pub' lisped in the Report of the Commissioners. - There was ne disposition to suppress anything. If he had done that he would have done what the other Commissioners had done , and what it was his duty as a Commissioner to do. Mr- Hogg had sent nothing whatever but reports respecting two places, which reports were published in the Report of the Commissionei s. He (Mr. Bl ac kb urne ) f e l t h i mse lf p e t aona llf . ' to blame for the appointment of Mr. Hog as a Ctimrals' sioner. He had especially recommended him to the Noble .: Lord to whom the formation of the Commission devolved. 1 He was sorry to say that he no longer entertained the opi: 1 Ilion of Mr. Hogg, whi c h h e en t ertaine d at t h a t pe ri o d; and he. could assure the House that that change of eipinion we t not occasioned by Mr. llogg's thinking differently from hie' : on this subject. ' If Mr. Hogg had sent in his repo.rts to the Commissioners, he (Mr. Blackburne) would have taken car e . i that they should have been laid before the :Board. As the 1 head Commissioner, h e h a d p resse d M r . H ogg to sen d i n -Such reports. He had so pressed Mr. Hogg until the lag - two months; when circumstances, which he had rather .3aot:dit' , ilt had induced him to d e t erm i ne that he would have no 'further i communication with th a t gentleman. He had bad.ndictiore communication with hire, and he would rather resigirliiatua tion to-morrow than have any more communication WifliElii. Mr. CHARLTON said that all he wished was, thatkillr' Hogg differed from the other Commissioners, Mr. floggve-ori" nion should be laid on the table of the House. ' ' "''"'' Mr. BL AC . KB U RNE atserred - ilTai - Mr. - Hogg's AitqNe s to send in his reports of the places which lie had lie War pointed to visit. Now he had only sent in two suck:repbets• He (Mr. Blackburno) should be very happy . to receive isle Hogg's further reports, and th e y s h ou ld b e p u bli s h e d, his observations. But Mr. Hogg had no right to send biro (Mr. Blackburne) a report on the general subject. Such , ' report he would not receive. Mr. CHARLTON would say no more on the subject; but he gave notice that on the bringing up of tho Re lon on the, Municipal Corporations Bill, h e s h ou ld move tlittt the Bill should not affect any existing COrporation against which no act of criminality had been proved. - The order of the day was then read, and— On the motio;i of Lord J. RUSSELL, tile Committee crag postponed till .Thursday next. • NEW COLONY—SOUTH AUSTRALIA. - - Mr. C. VILLIERS seeing the Hon. Gentleman the bar for Hull (Mr. Hutt) in his place, wished to ask him, as one of the Commissioners appointed by the Crown to earl the Act of Parliament for establishing a new colony in South Australia into execution, whether any, and what steps had been taken with regard to effecting the object of that com mission ? He asked this question at the instance of many per' sons interested in the formation of this new colony. Mr. HUTT was happy to give the Hon. Gentleman sues information as it was in his power to do on this interesting subject. As soon as the Commission was issued by the, Crown, the gentlemen named in it directed their earnest at"-- tention to the object, with a view to carry into effect the visions of the Act under which they were appointed. Howe ver easy or simple that task might appear, the Commissione had found it surrounded with considerable difficulties. 'TheY, had, how e ve r , overcome th ose diffi cu lti es , an d h a d p r i n t e d aria circulated widely, a paper, the result of their labours, in isblietteiel were set forth the rules and. regulations by which the new bony of South Australia was to be governed.- By these itilS 11 0! and regulations the Cdinmissioners had endeavoured to 'Fit'ef-1" vent that dispersion of persons which had been too much tlio, case in former colonies. He was anxious to set the Commis-, sioners right with the public on one other point. This Coal mission had been described out of doors as being a mere joh. He denied this—and to show that it was no job, he begged le , • inform the House that the gentlemen now appointed Conulo. - sioners to carry the Act into effect, were the identical , perstO intended to be appointed by the Government -of which the Hight Honourable Baronet opposite (Sir R. Peel) was at the •7: head. Mr. MACKINNON said that as his name was connected with the Commission in question, he was desirous of saying one word. He felt extremely anxious to do his duty to -the best of his power ; but it would be upon a clear and distinct understanding that he would never receive any re - ward or compensation whatever for any duties that he might perform. COUNTY OF TYRONE MEETING. Colonel VERNER rose for the purpose of bringing for ward the motion of which be has given notice, respecting the .; case of Mr. Harpur and others, against whom informations bad been sworn for attending a meeting called by the Lieutenant of the county of Tyrone, at Dungannon, in December lag , and for which they had been bound over to take their trial ,at the next assizes. After" addressing the House for some time in a very inaudible tone of voice, the Hon. and Gallant Mem ber was interrupted by Mr. RUTH VEN, who rose and observed that there were riot forty Membeis present. Strangers were then - ordered to withdraw, and there not being forty Members present, the Hcuse adjourned at a quar ter to seven. THE NEW. WORK EDITED BY LADY DACREe--- " We should hardly murmur at our labour," siyi the Athe" neu:n, ". in reducing the pile of works of fiction lying before us, did it always lead us into such pleasant company as the Tales of the Peerage and the Peasantry.' In this, as well as in the last work of the author (" The Recollections of a Chaperon"), we are interested without any forced contrivances of plot or artificial brilliancy of style ; her manner is most simple, but it is not the simplicity of a poor mind or a cold heart, for her characters are fresh and vivid; the high-hearted and the worldly stand distinct in her pages, and the deeds they did (not the parts they played) are set before us with a fidelity which makes us feel that what we are reading is no fiction, but a chronicle of real life."
