IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, Jui' 24. The Lords were occupied up to six o'clock, in hearing Mr. Wigram and witnesses in behalf of the petitioner in Malpas's Divorce case. Lord BROUGHAM moved that the evidence in this case be printed, and was not prepared to say that the petitioner was entitled to a divorce from his wife, because it appeared that he had separated from her and returned to her three different times, and that the cause of each separation was rather his own bad temper, than any misconduct on the part of his wife. The VICE-CHANCELLOR then took his seat on the Woolsack. Earl HAREW OOD presented two petitions against the Corporation Reform Bill from Doncaster. The Marquis of SALISBURY presented a petition from Maidstone to the same effect. Lord BROUGHAM preiented a petition in favour of the Bill from the parish of St. James's, in the city of Bath, and one from the borough of Bridport, signed by the local autho rities, to the same effect ; also one from the inhabitants of London in support of the Prisoner's Council Bill; and a peti tion from a place in Yorkshire, against beer shops. Lord STRANGFORD gave notice that on Tuesday he would present a petition from the Lord Mayor and Common Councilmen "of Coventry, praying to be heard b) Counsel against the Corporation Reform Bill. On the motion of Lord BROUGHAM the House went into Committee on the Certiorari Bill. The Report was brought up and received, and the Bill read a third time and passed. Mr. Cobb, from the Commissioners of the Margate Pier Company, attended at the bar with an account of the transac tions of the said Company. The House then adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 24. The SPEAKER took the chair at five minutes to four o'clock. Mr. G. BERKELEY moved that the Committee upon the Strangers' Gallery have power to report their opinion to the House, together with the evidence taken before them. Agreed to. Mr. LOWTHER presented a petition from the Ecclesias tical Court of York, praying that their interests might be protected in the Bill about to be introduced by his Majesty's Law Officers. Mr. TOOKE presented a petition signed by about three hundred of the most respectable inhabitants of St. Andrew's Holborn above the Bars against the Parish Vestry Bill ; and deprecating the repeal of Sturges Bourne's Act, which in their opinion constituted the best protection of the rate payers. The Hon. Member supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. WAKLEY begged to ask the Hon. Member if the petition had been agreed to at a public meeting of the rate payers ? Mr. TOOKE believed there had been no public meeting, but that most of the respectable inhabitants of that part of the parish which be had mentioned, had signed it. Mr. WAKLEY was informed that the petition had been got up in a clandestine manner, and in a few days he should present a petition very numerously signed by the rate-payers of that parish, with a contrary prayer. DISTRESS IN IRELAND. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented a petition from an individual named William Gordon, complaining that that House had permitted Session after Session to pass by without enacting Poor Laws for Ireland. He (Mr. S. Crawford) had on several occasions brought the subject of the extreme distress in Ireland before that House. On that day week he had presented a petition detailing additional instances of distress, and he had then given notice of a motion for Tuesday last upon the sub ject, but had withdrawn it, in consequence of the general wish of the House. If the statements contained in the petition to which he alluded were true, his Majesty's Govern ment had certainly been guilty of the most culpable negligence with respect to the distress of the people of Ireland, and he should take an early opportunity of again calling the attention of the House and the Government to the neglect.. The petition was then laid on the table. TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE. Mr. E. BULLER presented a petition from some place in Staffordshire, praying for the Repeal of the Newspaper Stamp Duty. _ TITHES. Captain PECHELL presented a petition, signed by the proprietors of 38,180 sheep, complaining of a late decision of the Lord Chief Baron, respecting the tithes upon turnips. This, said the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman may be taken to be the petition of 38,180 sheep—(laughter)—praying that in future the turnips upon which they feed may not be contami nated by the touch of the Tithe agent. He trusted he would have an opportunity of introducing his Bill that evening, for the purpose of mending the evil. Though the House last night had shown an unwillingness to separate the Bill then before it, he hoped they would allow him to split his into two—(Laughter)—and he trusted the House generally would help him to do away with an evil which pressed heavily upon the agricultural interest. Mr. C URTE I S warmly supported the prayer of the Peti tion. If a Bill was brought in such as was promised, it would have his warmest support ; but he would even go further than the Gallant Captain—he would vote for the entire abolition of tithes upon turnips put out for the purpose of feeding cattle. MAGISTRATES. Mr. O'BRIEN presented a petition from some place in the county Of Clare, complaining of the arbitrary acts of cu. tain magistrates. THE SABBATH. Mr. E. TENNANT presented a petition from the Belfast Sunday. School Union, and another from a parish in the county of Antrim, praying for some Legislative enactment to enforce a doe observance of the Sabbath. Mr. CURTF,IS presented a petition from West llam, and two o:hers from parishes in Sussex, praying for an immediate settlement of the Irish Church question, postponing their request for attention to the English Church question until the first should be disposed of. The petitioners consi dered the stability of the Church to be endangered, in consequence of the piesent state of the Tithe question. He gave his hearty support to the petition ; and as much as he was disposed to give his hearty concurrence to the Bill now before the House, he should not agree that his constituents should ever be made to pay any portion of the Irish tithes. The Hon. Member also presented another petition (the place was not mentioned) praying that no money should be paid to the West India slave-holders who }la.!, not completed the i.tentions of the Abolition Act. Mr. POTTER presented a p:tition from a pilot of the port of Drog,hecla, complain!ng of the iejtlry done to his business by the steam navigation, and praying that the i3ill introduced by the Non. Member fur Perth may pass into a laws SHERIFF'S BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL brought in his Bill fur placing the Sheriffs of counties and cities on the same footing with respect to the oaths administered on taking office. The Bill havin7 been read a first time, the Attorney-General said as this was an important question, a Gentleman of the Jewish per. suasion having been ele(lted Sheriff of the city of London, he should move the second Kading on Tuesday next. Mr. LA W (the Recorder of London) expressed his hearty concurrence in the object of the Bill. Mr. R. STE WA - RT presented a petition against the Scotch Registration Biil. An HON. MEMBEA asked when the Government Report would be ready? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was understood to reply that it would be ready in the course of a week. SCOTCH BUSINESS. Sir W. RAE, in presenting a petition, called the attention of the House to the state of Scotch business before the House. There were twenty Bills connected with Scotland before that Houso, not one of which had gone through Committee. He thought that such a mode of legislation could not be useful to the country, as these were Bills which ought to be fairly and fully discussed. Unless Bills connected with Scotland were brought in before Easter, it would be much better to post pone them altogether. Mr. R. STE WART had adopted the recommendation of the Hon. and Learned Member with regard to some of these Bills. Mr. WALLACE complained that when he brought for. ward measures in the early part of the Session, they had been interfered with by the lion. and Learned Member. The petition was then laid on the table. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. Colonel SIBTHCRP wished to ask the Attorney-General whether it was his intention to press the Bill for the regula tion of the Ecclesiastical Courts. It was impossible, at that late period of the Session, to carry this measure through, and if it were attempted to carry it through, he should offer it the most determined opposition. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—It was quite unne cessary for the Gallant Colonel to show such extreme vigilance on this subject, as he had told him that he would not move the second reading of this Bill except when he had an ample opportunity of bringing forward his objections. He would state that it was his intention to move the second reading of this Bill the first opportunity. It was a subject of the greatest importance to the public, and had met with very general approbation, and one of the enactments of it entirely abolished the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts with regard to tithes. He should consider himself guilty of a very great dereliction of duty if he were not to press forward this Bill. Colonel SIBTHORP, could not but remind the Hon. and Learned Member that the sentiments he had just uttered with respect to the abolition of the Ecclesiastical Courts was directly the contrary to those which he had sometime since expressed. Mr. VE SE Y presented a petition from Queen's County, against the Irish Tithe Bill. Mr. C. BRUCE presented a petition from Elgin, in fa vour of the Church of Scotland. Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition from a place, the name of which we could not hear, for the institution of some rational amusement on Sundays. Colonel LEITH HAY presented petitions from Elgin and Inverary, against the Aberdeen University Bill. REGISTRATION OF VOTES (IRELAND). Mr. H. GRATTAN had given notice of a motion for bringing in a Bill to regulate the registration of votes in Ire land, but as he had been given to understand that his Majesty's Government intended bringing in a Bill on the subject, he should withdraw his motion. If the matter was not taken up by his Majesty's Government, ho should certainly renew his notice IPSWICH ELECTION. Mr. FRE SHFIELD moved the Order of the Day for re suming the adjourned debate on the motion that Mr. Clip erton be called to the bar and discharged. LOrd J. RUSSELL understood that the motion was to have been postponed until the evidence taken before the second Select Committee had been printed. Mr. WYNN made a few observations, which were inaudible. Lord J. RUSSELL observed that the Hon. Member 'could not argue upon the evidence until it had been printed. Mr. WYNN hoped that the Hon. and Learned Gentle man (the Attorney-General), would turn his attention to the evidence, when it was before the House.—( Hear.) The evidence of Mr. Clipperton, was to the effect that being the professional agent of the party, he was justified in taking every means in his power to pretect the interest of his employers. Upon this matter he (Mr. W.) would give no opinion himself. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL felt great delicacy in in terfering in the case of those whom he had been directed to institute proceedings against by order of that House, but as there was no intention to adopt any further proceedings against Mr. Clipperton, he should be prepared on Monday to give his opinion on the evidence. Lord JOHN RUSSELL hoped the Right Hon. Gentle man the Member for Montgomeryshire would also be prepared to give his opinion with respect to what the Parliamentary law was on the subject. He (Lord J. Russell) understood that in the Grampound case the Right Hon. Gentleman had carried a contrary doctrine to a very great extent. Sir E. KNATCHBULL thought the question for the House was whether Mr. Clipperton had or had not been suf ficiently punished ; and in his (Sir E. K.'s) opinion he had.— If this Gentleman had been guilty of any misconduct before the Committee, he would then stand in a different light— ( Hear, hear, from Mr. Wason)—but if not, then surely there was no reason for keeping him till Monday, when it was agreed upon all hands that the evidence went to quite adifferent point. Mr. HAWE S was very sorry to appear to act harshly against any individual who was in custody. but the fact was that he for one could not sanction the discharge of Mr. Clipperton, because he had refused to tell the Committee the nature of the contents of those important documents which ho had destroyed—the very fact of his destroying them proved them to be very important ; and until Mr. Clipperton either put the Committee in possession of the nature of those docu ments, or gave a good reason for his destroying them, he did not think the House would do right in parting with him. Mr. ROEBUCK did not see any distinction between the case of this party and that of another criminal who was taken up and kept sometimes six months before his trial. Mr. Clipperton must wait till - the House was in possession of the evidence upon his case. Mr. ROBINSON protested against the Gentleman being kept in custody after the others had been discharged. Mr. FRE SHFIELD would venture to assert that no ques tion had been put to Mr. Clipperton which he would - not have been prohibited from answering at the bar of that House, upon an appeal to the Chair. Mr. Clipper ton was not connected with these proceedings till he had been employed professionally to go to Ipswich to collect evi dence. It was his duty as a professional man not to disclose anything that came to his knowledge in his professional capa city. He hoped that the House having vindicated its autho rity, would not press upon this individual.--( Hear.) Mr. WARBURTON hoped that this subject would be adjourned to the earliest day, in order that Members might have an opportunity of reading the evidence. Mr. A. TREVOR hoped that that the House would not adjourn this question any longer. Whatever the offence might have been, and many men had committed the same offence to a greater extent, and had escaped at a much cheaper rate, he hoped the House would feel that this individual bad suffered sufficient punishment. Mr. SCARLETT would assert that this individual was bound, not only as a legal man but as a gentleman, not to answer the questions that had been put to him. Mr. HARDY did not think the conduct of Mr. Clipperton was so excellent as had been represented by the Hon. Member who had spoken last. In his (Mr. Hardy's) opinion, the conduct of Mr. Clipperton was any thing but that of a gentleman : for, not satisfied with refusing to answer questions himself, he prevented Mrs. Clipperton from answering those put to her relative to whether Pilgrim had been at her House on a certain day. He thought if Mr. Clipperton was relieved from his imprisonment at the present moment, then Mr. Sparrowe, who was only liberated yesterday, had been most hardly dealt with. Lord J. RUSSELL had not heard anything to induce him to alter the opinion he had formed the other day, that the House oughtnot to liberate Mr. Clipperton, till it had seen the evidence. That evidence was not ready to-day, and it could not be ready before i‘londay. He did not think there were any extraor dinary circumstances in the case of Mr. Clipperton to induce the House to relieve him from custody to-day. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided on the question of the postponement of the subject till Mon day, when there appeared— For the Postponement B3 Agairfst it Majority for the Postponement The disca.:sion was therefore postponed till Monday. TITHES. On our return to the gallery, we found Mr. HODGES presenting a petition, of which he had given notice, from the parish of Hawkhurst, relative to tithes. The lion. Member proceeded at some length to point out the injurious results of the present tithe system. In the parish from which the petition proceeded, there were formerly 48 farmers living upon the profits of their industry, and it was a fact that not less than twenty-three of them had become insolvent from the ruinous exaction of tithes—(Hear)—and these consequences would be shortly extended to the country genc rally, if some steps were not taken to put an end to these excessive and unjustifiable demands. • Although there were 2,500 inhabitants in the parish, and although a large sum was paid for the removal of leases to Christ Church, there was not a house fit for the Curate to live in. —( Hear, hear.) He begged to ask his Majesty's Government what their intention was relative to the English Tithe Bill ? He took a great interest in the affairs of this parish, because it was immediately adjoining that in which he lived; and he was afraid if the system was allowed to go on, it would extend throughout the country, and be very detrimental to the inte terests of the Church itself. Sir E. KNATCHBULL did not feel it then necessary to enter fully into the question of tithes. He would only Efate his opinion that it was irripos:ale to go on without an alteration in the Tithe laws. It was essentially necessary, and ho trusted that it would be brought forward at the earliest possible opportunity during next session. Lord J. RUSSELL said, in answer to the question which had been put to him, he had to state, as he bad done before, that the Government were of opinion it would be inexpedient now to press forward the question of the tithe laws, but most certainly they ;could be prepared early next session to submit a measure on the subject of tithes for the consideration of the Houe. He thought that it would be advisable to have the question submitted to a select Committee, who could better con sider the measure in all its bearings with relation to all parts of the country, and it was most probable that course would be recommended. Sir R. INGLIS said, that the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church had nothing whatever to do with this subject. Mr. GREEN supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. CURTEIS defended the conduct of the Clergyman, who he believed to have always acted in the most upright and honourable manner. He thought the ➢ean and Chapter of the College ought to come to some arrangement with the parish. Mr. PARROTT had been requested to support the prayer of the petition. He hoped the Noble Lord would take the subject into his immediate consideration. Mr. CURT E IS said the petitioners would accept any mea sure from the present Government, but would not accept any thing from the late Government.—(Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. GoimuunN and Sir E. KNaTcrinuLL, Mr. G ORING thought nothing but a commutation of tithes, upon a fair average, would be satisfactory to the country. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. MUNICIPAL INQUIRY. Sir ROBERT INGLIS moved an address to the King for a copy of the protest of Hogg, Esq., one of the Com missioners of .Nlunicipal Inquiry. He had understood from the Noble Lord opposite that there would be no objection to the production of this document. Mr. GOULB URN wished to know why, if there were no objection to produce the document now, the production of it was refused when he moved for it some time ago ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL—Because it was not then in my possession.—Motion agreed to. POST-OFFICE CONTRACTS. Mr. WARBURTON asked the Chancellor of of the Ex chequer, whether it was the intention of the Government to give any extension of time for sending in specifications for the new contracts to be made with the Post-office ; the time at present fixed being too short to admit of fair competition. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted that the time appeared to be too limited to afford the public that benefit from open competition which was the only ground for the alteration that had taken place respecting the Post office contracts; and if the facts were as represented, he thought an extension of the time for sending in tenders should be allowed. PREROGATIVE OF MERCY—LADY MULGRAVE. Sir ROBERT BATE SON wished to put a question to the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland. At a late assizes in Ireland, certain parties had been convicted of a misde meanour, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment ; but he had heard that in consequence of a memorial to Lady Mul grave, those parties had been liberated, without any communi cation with the judge who presided at the trial. This he con sidered to be, very unusual; and he wished, therefore, to ask the Noble Lord whether he was aware of the circumstances ? Lord MOR PE TH observed that the case was this—that at a late assizes, certain parties were convicted, on cross indict ments for a riot, by the same jury. The Chief Baron sen tenced all the parties included in one of the indictments, and who were Catholics, to six months' imprisonment ; and the parties included in the other indictment, and who were Protes tants—some to three and some to two months' imprisonment. All the jury, eleven of whom were Protestants, signed a peti tion to the Lord Lieutenant, and not to the Lord Lieutenant's Lady—( Hkar, hear)—which petition was also backed by the Mayor of Derry, praying for the remission of the longer sen tence passed on the Catholics ; and with that prayer the Lord Lieutenant thought it consistent with his duty to comply. The Hon. Baronet had alluded to Lady Mulgrave. He was surprised that that Noble Lady should not have escaped an at tack in the newspapers, for merely having sent a private cha ritable letter, in reply to one received by her from the wife of one of the prisoners.—(Hear.) Sir ROBERT BATE SON could assure the Noble Lord that he never stated, in his question, any thing as to whether the sentences were passed on Protestants, or Catholics, or (huskers. He asked the question simply as to the matter of fact, whether the sentences bad been remitted without any communication with the Judge who had tried the prisoners. AS to Lady Mulgrave, he assured the Noble Lord that he THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1835. meant nothing offensive in his observations. He had not read any newspapers ; but was instructed, by letters from very re spectable persons, that an application had gone to her Lady ship. He was the last person in the House to lessen or im pair the influence of the fair sex, or in any degree to check the exercise of their benevolence. _ _ Mr. O'LOUGHLEN wished to set the Hon. Baronet right as to what was the practice with regard to the applications_ to the Lord Lieutenant for the exercise of the prerogative in the case of the remission of sentences on prisoners. It was by no means unusual for the Lord Lieutenant to make such remis sion when accompanied by such strong representations as were made in this case, without at all referring the question to the Judge who passed the sentence. Sir R. BATE SON subsequently asked whether Lord Morpeth would lay the petition from the Mayor of Derry be fore the House ? Lord MORPETH coild not undertake to do so without previous inquiry. It was not customary to lay such documents before the House. DISTRESS IN MAYO COUNTY. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD asked the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) whether he (Mr. Crawford) would be afforded an opportunity to bring forward his motion to-night for an address to the Crown with regard to the poor in the county of Mayo ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it was the intention of the Attorney-General to move the Order of the Day, res pecting the Imprisonment for Debt Bill. He, therefore, could not give the Honourable Member any assurance on the subject. After a few words from Mr. S. CRAWFORD, Lord MORPETH said that the Government were doing all they could, and he could assure the Hon. Gentleman that their proceedings since be last mentioned the subject to the House had not been stationary.---( Laughter. ) IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that the Order of the Day for the further consideration of the Report be read. Mr. LAW moved that the further consideration.of the Re port be postponed till Monday next. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would not persevere in his motion. He had given early notice of his intention to bring this question on to-night; and he was very anxious to do so, for there were hundreds and thousands of persons looking forward to the passing of this measure ; all of whom were suffering that sickness of heart which arose from hope deferred. Mr. LAW said that his reason for wishing the motion to be postponed was, that many Hon. Members who were anxious to declare their sentiments on the subject were not present. Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed, that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman must be aware that it was intended on Monday to go into Committee on the Irish Church Bill ; there would therefore be no time, at this late period of the Session, to bring this measure forward if they were to lose the present opportunity. He hoped the opposition would not be persisted in. After a few words from Mr. RICHARDS, the House di vided, when there were— For the order of the day being read LW)" Against it Majority The Order of the Day was then read, and the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL moved that the Speaker do leave the Chair. Mr. FRE SHFIE LD opposed the motion. After a few words from Mr. HAWES, Mr. RICHARDS thought evidence should be taken as to the details of the Bill before it passed into a law. The exis tence of abuses in the law ought not to be an argument against the law itself. The expenses would be enormous. Another point was, that it would be unjust in the highest degree if the defendant were called upon to give security for debt and costs before the trial came on. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL trusted the House would consent to let it pass through the Committee, and take any further discussion on the principle of it either on the Report or third reading. Sir W. FOLLETT said the Bill was of very great im portance,--it would completely alter the law of debtor and cre ditor. He did hope, then, that if his Hon. and Learned Friend would withdraw his motion, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite would defer the Committee. Many peti tions had been presented against the Bill, and he thought it hardly fair to the country or to the Hon. Gentlemen who were absent on the understanding that the Bill would not be brought before the House this evening—( No, no)—for the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to persevere in his motion. He assured the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite that such was the understanding. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did hope his Hon. and Learned Friend would not accede to the pro position for postponement. If the Bill was postponed, what chance was there that it could pass this session.—( Hear, hear.) The Bill had been fully discussed before. Let them, then, pro ceed to the Committee, to make the Bill as perfect as possible. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL trusted that the House would allow the Bill to be committed. Sir W. FOLLETT did not see why the Hon. and Learned Gentleman should not consent to fix a day in next week for the Committee. Sir C. BURRELL supported the Bill. Mr. D. W. HARVEY objected to the House going into the Committee on such a Bill merely Jiro forma. He did not hesitate to say, that though they might recognise the princi ple, it was not at all probable that the Bill could pass this session. The Bill affected the commercial credit of this coun try ; and being most crude and unsatisfactory in its provisions, he thought it ought to be postponed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Bill - was founded on the recommendation of the Common Law Commissioners. After a few observations from Mr. FRESHFIELD and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, _ _ _ Mr. RUTH YEN objected to the time that was lest in dis cussions which had no useful object. M. T. ATT WOOD was favourable to the principle of the Bill, per se. He never trusted a man with any sum of money, relying on the power of imprisonment for its recovery. The motion was then agreed to, and the House went into Committee, Mr. Charles Buller in the chair. The first clause having been agreed to, the second clause was moved, when . . , Mr. RICHARDS rose and said his principal objection was to the first clause of the Cries of " ( i uestion.") The CHAIRMAN said that the first clause had beca agreed to, and it was the second that was now before the Corn mittee.—( Laughter. ) Mr. RICHARDS was not aware that the first cause had passed. He thought it sharp practicc,—( A laugh.) An Hon. MEMBER moved that the Chairman should report pro!..2,iress._ 'Fie ATTORNEY-GENERAL, as we understood, said th,:t he should not object to the Hon. and Learned Gentle man pursuing his observations on the first clause. The CEIAIRMAN said that as he had not been understood to put the first clause, he would do so again. The clause having been put-- Mr. RICHARDS said, the Bill would have the effect cf establishing an inquisition to inquire into men's private af fairs ; it would also impose considerable expenses on clients. Mr. SCARLETT said that his objections to the Bill were comprised in this clause, to which lie was strongly op posed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not think that such alarming consequences would follow. The clause would prevent the fraudulent debtor from setting up a defence when he had no ground for so doing. Mr. PEASE thought that the Bill was a great improvement on the existing state of things. The clause was then agreed to, as was clause 2. Clause 3 being proposed, Mr. RICHARDS said that this provision would give a vast political influence to the Commissioners appointed under it, and thought that the House ought to view with great jealousy the placing so great a power in the hands of the Crown. Mr. FRESH FIELD also objected to the clause. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL defended it. The Gallery was then cleared for a division, but none took place, and the clause was, as we understood, agreed to. After a desultory conversation, clause 4 was then agreed to. Oa clause 5 being proposed, Mr. RICHARDS moved that the House should, in conse quence of the few Members present, be counted. After a short discussion, the clause was agreed to. Other clauses were then proceeded with. Mr. RICHARDS remonstrated against going on with so important a measure, and one against which so much objec tion had been made, in so thin a House. Mr. WAKLE Y observed, that they had been discussing the Bill for seven hours, and yet no Hon. Member who objected to it had ventured to propose any amendment. The district of the metropolis which he represented contained 221,000 in habitants, and only a single request had been made to him to oppose the Bill. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES said that all Scotland was in arms against the Bill. Several Herr. MEMBERS observed that the Bill did not apply to Scotland. The remaining clauses of the Bill were then agreed to. The House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be re ceived on Monday. The other Orders of the Day having been disposed of, at two o'clock. this morning the House adjourned to Monday.

An English clergyman of the Established Church has just returned from a ramble in Egypt, Syria, and the Holy Land, of which he is on the eve of publishing a narrative. His chief object in making the journey was to compare, by per sonal investigation, the reputed sites of the great events re corded in the Scriptures, with the topographical descriptions contained in the sacred writings. To the Rev. Vere Monro the religious world will be greatly indebted, for the light which his researches have thrown, on the geography of the Bible. Mr. St. John, who has lately returned from the Eastern world, is about to lay before the English public a series of Arabian and Turkish stories, under the title of Tales of the Ramad'han." These fictions are based upon what the author himself witnessed of life and mariners of oriental countries ; but the superstructure is his own, though even in this he is said to have assimilated his inventions to the glowing style and prodigality of incident peculiar to the ro mantic narratives of the Arabian story-tellers. Marvellous adventure, enchantment, pictures of princely luxury, and inci dents of heroism and love, are the very essence of this fasci nating class of literature ; and the public will, no doubt, wel come them at this season of the year, when, if anything can interfere with the dolce far mente induced by the burning weather, it must be found in a perusal of the winning and gorgeous stories of Arabia and Persia by so distinguished a writer. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From th© London New Price Current of last Evening.) SUGAR.—The demand for West India Muscovades has been general and extensive, the prices advanced early in the week Is. per cwt., since which the market has been firm at the improvement. The estimated purchases of West India Muscovades this week are 3,500 hhds. and trs., fully maintaining the rise of 18. on Tuesday last, and the holders exceedingly firm ; the brown Sugars are higher in proportion than the good and fine descriptions, arising from the request for Fruit and for the making of home-made wines; the Jamaica browns may be quoted 555. a 565. The buyers this afternoon are not so eager in purchasing, and the sales this day are not so extensive as previously. In the refined market there was a rise of Is. a Is. 6d., on Tuesday last, owing to the grocers for home consumption coming forward freely to purchase, and they paid ls. a Is. 6cl. higher than the export houses, 795. and 80s. for Lumps, the former not fine enough to pass the standard, which was equal to 395. for crashed. There is little alteration in 'refined this afternoon ; the scarcity of goods still very great, and higher prices again asked. MAURITIUS.—The public sale on Tuesday last 2,365 bags went off with great briskness at Is. a Is. 6d. higher The public sale this day (8,414 bags) did not go off with the former spirit ; but the prices were supported, but not the former eagerness in buying, yellow 545. a 60s. 6d., grey, .535. 6d. a 595. 6d., brown 495. a 535. EAST INDIA.—The advance in West India Sugars has occa sioned more inquiry for East India, parcels of Java have been sold at 2s. advance, a parcel of 8,200 bags Manilla sold at 28s. 9d., and 30s. is now asked. This day's public sale 526 bags Bengal Sugar sold Is. higher, good mid. to fine white 325. 6d. a 345. 6d. FOREIGN.—The demand for Foreign Sugars continues ; 325. has been paid for 500 boxes yellow, and 38s. for 1,000 boxes white, and 325. 9d. refused for strong yellow. The purchases of Brazil are SOO chests white Pernams, of which 30 damaged sold, all at 31s. with 131bs. tare. WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—There have been large purchases of West India Molasses, the best quality 245. a 245. 6d., the general price 235. a 235. 6d., old 20s. a 21s. COFFEE.—The quantity of British Plantation offered for sale this week has been more considerable than for some time past, the consequence has been a general heaviness; the gro cers only purchase small parcels for immediate use on rather easier terms, all the remainder taken in by the Brokers at nearly former prices, but the appearance of the market is very heavy. Foreign Coffee is equally dull, good ordinary Brazil mixed with blacks, 525., the fine ord. all taken .555. a 565. In East India there is little variation, good ord. Ceylon 625. 6d. a 635. By public sale this day 569 bags Ceylon sold ls. higher, chiefly good quality 635. a 645. ; 532 bags Brazil sold 2s. lower, ord. to good ord. 50s. 6d. a 515., one lot 535., the re mainder 48s. a 50s. The British Plantation 25 bags Deme rara, 115 trs. 31 brio. Jamaica and Berbice, mostly taken in at former prices. COCOA.—The last purchases of Brazil Cocoa reported by private contract is a parcel of 400 to 500 bags at 275. By public sale this day 135 bags Bahia Cocoa like Grenada, sold 31s. 6d. a 335. 6 , 1., but it cannot be given as any crite rion respecting the common Brazil Cocoa. Also 70 bags 41 brls. British Plantation, good Trinidad, 515. 6d. a 525. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum market conti nues very firm : nearly all the late imports have been sold at full prices, and as the importers are without supplies, it is difficult to quote prices ; but parcels could not be purchased at the former quotations. No Jamaica 30 over now offer un. der 3s. 2d., and it would be difficult to buy proof Leewards at 2s. ld. In Brandy or Geneva there is no alteration. TALLOW.—The prices of the Tallow market continue firmly advancing. The great holders, the Russians, evince no inclination to sell Tallow at the present prices. SPICES.—There is little alteration in Spices, small parcels of Pepper have been sold at the late prices ; large parcels of Pimento also at the late currency 41d. a 4 d., small ber ries 41d. This day's public sales 136 bags Pimento sold at full prices 4id a 41d., fair quality. NITRATE OF SODA.—There are no sales to report. SALTPETRE.—The public sales early in the week, 10,000 bags, went off 6d. to Is. higher, 2/ to 20} refraction 235. 6d. a 255. 6d. Refined 295. WooL.—There has been but little business doing in the Wool Market since the public sales. Some business has been done in Spanish Wool at unaltered prices. The interest excited by the public sales seem to increase, as the attend ance of the buyers frOm all parts was larger than on any for mer occasion, new buyers having been attracted, and there ap pears an evident desire in the trade to encourage the growth of Colonial Wool. Hops.—The estimated duty on Hops has fallen from 205,000/. to 195,000/. It is stated that the extreme heat of the sun, and the very dry weather, has injured several descrip tions of Hops very materially. COTTON.—There is no new feature in the Cotton market. The sales reported since our last are-450 Surat ord. to fine 61d. a 8 1 d 4 ; 140 Madras fair to good 7/d. a Id. ; 300 Boweds fair 1014. ;80 Bengal fair to fine 7-id. a 7ici. FRviT.-There is little alteration to notice in fruit. _ Isomo.—Observations of the sales of Indigo, which com menced on the 14th inst., and ended this day:-7,126 chests ? sold by sundry brokers in Mincing-lane. 1,231 ditto, ditto, by the East India Company—in all 8,357 chests. 472 chests were withdrawn, leaving 7,885 chests, of which about 1,700 were bought in. The sale was attended by several Foreigners and many of the Consumers, none of whom appeared anxious to purchase at the commencement, which caused the Sale to go heavily for the first week at prices from 4d to Bd. per lb. lower than the April Sale. In the last week the buyers for shipping, as also for the home trade, bought freely, which caused an advance of 2d. to 3d. per lb. Prices may therefore be con sidered on the average from 4d. to 6d. per lb. lower than last sale, viz.—on the fine and good 3d. a sd. lower, mid. and consuming 4d. a Bd. lower, ord. and low 3d. to 6d. lower, Madras last Sale's prices to 3d. higher. SILK.—The market continues without any marked alteration ; the prices are firm. Tobacco.-There is little to report in Tobacco, the holders are firm in demanding such high prices as to prevent sales, the stock is also so small that there is little choice left for the buyers. RrcE.—By public sale this day, 1,595 bags good Bengal sold 12s. a 12s. 6d., a shade higher. TEA.—Since the Sale more demand for Canton Boheas at lid. ; in other kinds but little doing, as the trade are looking forward to the result of the Company's Teas not paid far at their last prompt, and the large sale of free trade to take place on the 3th proximo. CINNAMON.-The sales yesterday, 2nds taken in at from 7s. 3d. a 6s. Bd., only one lot sold at 7s. 2d., and 3 chests at ss. 6d., much about the same as last sale.
