CORPORATION BILL. Mr. ELLICE presented a petition from Coventry, in fa vour of the Corporation Reform Bill._ MALT TAX. Mr. LENNARD presented a petition from Maldon for the Repeal of the Malt Tax. FOREIGN STATES. Mr. ROBINSON gave notice, that on the 10th of August he should call the attention of the House to the Commercial Confederation between the King of Prussia and other Foreign States. RIOTS AT LIVERPOOL. Mr. HL M E wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Home Department, whether the Government had received any accounts of the outrages which were repre sented to have taken place at Liverpool, on the 12th instant? In a newspaper which he held in his hand, it was stated that certain Orange arches had been erected which the magistrates ordered to be pulled down, but the loyal and peace-loving orangeists resisted. The riot act was read by Mr. Skinner, and the military charged the mob ; they would not disperse, but met the military with a volley of stones. The soldiery at length fired ; one young woman was shot dead, some per sons wounded, and the streets were partially cleared. He wished to ask the Noble Lord, whether the Government had received any information, and what steps had been pursued ?—( Hear. ) Lord MORPETH—It was too true, that in consequence of the riotous proceedings referred to, one life had been lost and several persons injured. Mr. - HUMEL - Though there was public business before the House of the greatest importance, yet he deemed the peace of the country of so much more importance, that he was about to submit to the House the propriety of some measure being taken to put an end to this excitement, and those dissen sions which had been referred to with so much feeling. If he showed to the House he was able to point out the means of obtaining evidence as to the state of factious opposition and disturbance that continued there, he deemed it his duty to delay the House for a few minutes. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved the Order of the Day for the Municipal Corporation Bill ; if the House chose that the Bon. Member should go into this subject, he would postpone this Bill till the next week. - Mr. HUME—Even at the hazard of delay, it appeared the him necessary to refer shortly to the situation of that unfortunate country—lreland. It appeared that Orange bodies existed in Ireland to a great extent, and extended to various regiments in the army.—( Cries of " Oh, and hear.") Colonel PERCIVAL rose to order. If the Hon. Mem ber were allowed to go into this, and make the speech he was about to make, it would be his duty not to allow an ex parte statement to go forth to the public. Mr. HUME—His object was not to have any discussion now.—( Cries of " Hear " from the Tories.) A Committee was then sitting, which had been appointed by the House to take evidence respecting these Lodges. It appeared that the evidence respecting several of these Orange Lodges had been communicated by some individual of the Com mittee, for he found it in an Orange paper of the 6th of July. The SPEAKER—The question before the House was, that the Order of the Day for going into a Committee of the whole House be read : the question of the Hon. Member respecting Orange Lodges was not connected with this. Mr. HUME—It rested with the discretion of the House. He was perfectly in order in any motion that was made to move an amendment. He did not wish to move this as an amendment.—(" Oh, oh !") He only wished to state —(Great cries of " Oh, oh.") Well, then, if he was obliged to do so he would.—( Uproar. ) He wished t o su b m it t o t h e House whether—(Uproar, and loud cries of " The Corpo ration Bill.") The evidence taken before the Committee re garding Orange Associations, he moved should be laid on the table of the House. When that was done, he would certainly bring forward the subject as one of the greatest importance. If he was correct in the information which he had received, he would feel it his duty to impeach an indivi. dual of high standing in the county—(Hear,)—of high crimes and misdemeanours against the State.—( Sensation, and cries of " Name, name.") He wished to know whether the Committee was prepared to report, and at what period the ex aminations would be laid on the table of the House. He would then brilig forward his motion. Mr. WILSON PATTEN-A great number of witnesses were to be examined, so that he did not think they could re port during the present session. From the nature of the exa mination, it would not be fair to communicate any of the evi dence till the defence was gone into. The Committee had witnessed with very great regret that communications had been held with newspapers in Ireland regarding portions of the evi dence. Mr. FINN thought that the evidence was important, and ought to be produced. The Hon. Member was going to observe on the evidence, when Mr. FINLEY rose to order. Mr. FINN contended that he had a right to address the House, and comment upon the evidence, amid loud cries of 1 . Chair, chair." The SPEAKER thought the Hon. Member Was out of order in attempting to observe upon evidence that was not before the House. Mr. W. PATTEN said that he would take the sense of the Committee upon the subject at the next meeting. Mr. HUME said that on Tuesday next he would move that the Committee should put the House in possession of all the information it had upon the subject. Sir H. HARDINGE thought it was not fair that a parti cular portion of what had taken place before the Committee should 'oe brought before the House before the Committee had mafte its Report. Mr. O'CONNELL thought if that evidence existed it ought to be before the House. Sir ROBERT PEEL objected to the motion of the Hon. Member for Middlesex being brought on on Tuesday, as he understood it was intended to bring forward the subject of the Irish Church on that day. Mr. HUME could assure the Right Hon. Baronet that he should not say a word on bringing forward the motion. Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to know from the Noble Lord opposite, what course he intended to pursue with respect to that Bill. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he could do no more than request the Hon. Member for Middlesex to allow the Irish Church question to come on previous to his motion. Mr. HU3IE had no objection to bring on his motion on Monday. After some observations from Mr. D. JACKSON, this was agreed to. Mr. SINCLAIR wished to know whether the Noble Lord opposite had received information of the outrages at Liver pool, by the Roman Catholics. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had not heard of any outrage. Colonel PERCIVAL wished to know from the Hon. Member opposite ( Sergeant Perrin) whether the parties who had been guilty of the outrages at Wexford had been pro secuted by the Crown or not ? Mr. Sergeant PERRIN stated that as soon as he received the information from the Gallant Member, he had written to the Crown Solicitor on the subject, but he had received no further information. MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Mu nicipal Corporations Bill. Clauses 50, 51, 52, and 53 were agreed to. To clause 45 Mr. JARVIS moved to add the following proviso :—" Provided always, and be it enacted, that nothing herein contained shall authorize or empower the judges named in the Commission of Oyer and Terminer and Gaol Delivery, issued for the county of Chester, to make orders upon the sheriff of the county of the city of Chester, to be appointed as aforesaid, for the execution of the criminals convicted for offences committed within the county of Chester." After a short discussion, in which the Attorney-General, Mr. Hughes Hughes, Mr. Egerton, Lord John Russell, and Mr. Thornley participated, the motion was negatived without a division. On the clause respecting town-clerks, a long and desultory conversation took place ; in the course of which, Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed, that by the Act compensation would be afforded to all who were deprived of their offices by this Act. But if they were eligible, and were re-elected, he could not see what claim they could justly make for compensation, having suffered no injury : and Mr. SCARLETT contended that many of the town-clerks had devoted a long life to their oc cupation ; not supposing that a Bill, which would transfer power in every town in the country from one set of hands to another, would ever be contemplated by any but a revolutionary Government. Mr. Roebuck, Lord John Russell, Mr. Wason, Mr. Thornley, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Goulburne, Mr. Spring Rice, Mr. Wynn, the Solicitor- General, and Sir William Follett followed: Lord SAND ON, with the view of providing for a contin gency, which he thought was not contemplated by the clause, proposed to insert after the words " Who shall not be re-ap pointed," the following, " or accept the said office." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL maintained that the clause, as it then stood, contemplated and provided for every contingency that could possibly occur. After some further discussion the gallery was cleared for a division, but during the exclusion of strangers the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. On clause 60 being read, Mr. WILKS suggested an amendment, which the Attar- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1835 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JuLr 17. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a Quarter before Four o'Clock. Mr. Lass, the new Member for Oldham, was introduced by Mr. C. Ross and Lord COLE, and took the oaths and his scat. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up ai Return from the Commissioners of the Kent Road Trust. Mr. TOOKE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to improve floe town of Truro. Mr. W. DUNCOMBE presented a petition in favour of the Redcar Harbour Bill. Mr. YOUNG, on the part of his constituents, objected to the imposition of passing toll upon shipping, which was pro vided for by one of the clauses in the Bill. Major FIE A L - CL ERK said that hc --- ICad been requested to oppose the Bill passing containing that clause. BERKHAMPSTEAD FREE SCHOOL. Mr. THOS. DUNCOMBE had a petition to present from the Rev. Thos. Dupre, Master of the Free Grammar School of Great Berkhamstead, in the county cf Hertford, and Rector .of the living of Willoughby, in Lincoln, in reference to a pe tition presented by the Noble Lord (Grimston). the Member for Hertford, a short time since. The petitioner complained that the petition presented by the Noble Lord had led to the most -wicked and false attacks upon his character, and he ( Mr. Duncombe) trusted that he would not be accused of party motives in presenting a petition in refutation of those charges, inasmuch as the politics of the rev, gentleman differed entirely from his own. In his (Mr. D.'s) opinion, Mr. Dupre was grossly slandered by the attacks made, and he was sure the Noble Lord and the other Hon, Members who had taken part in the discussion—and he was sure that portion of the press which had joined in the attack upon Mr. Dupre—would thank him ( Mr. Duncoml)e) for setting them right.—( Hear, hear.) As a specimen of the attacks that had been made upon him in the press, he ( Mr. Duncombe) would take the liberty of reading an article which appeared in an evening pa per (we believe, the Standard,) the day after the petition had been presented. The Hon. Member here read the article. It was stated in the petition presented by the Noble Lord, that from the year 1811 to 1833, the Rev. Mr. Dupre was never resident in Berkhampstead. Now the fact was, that he had not been presented to the living of Willoughby till the year 1815, and from 1805 to 1815 he had been constantly resident in Berk hanripstead, and had never visited Willoughby except' when any of the four curates whom he had appointed to do duty there were removed or promoted. The petition presented by the Noble Lord had stated that Mr. Dupre and his usher were the sole trustees, and that they had misapplied the funds of the charity. Such was not the case. The Court of Chancery had the sole management of the funds, and neither Mr. Dupre or the usher had any control over them. The Commissioners of Public Charities had visited the school, although it was stated in the petition that they had not y e t visited the school, and no complaint was made against either the master or any person connected with the charity. He had been also charged with the violation of an agreement entered into with a gentleman in the neighbourhood of Berkhampstead. Such was not the fact. An agreement had been made, and signed, and published in the newspapers, but the word " king dom" had been substituted for " the neighbourhood," and this there was a very great violation indeed of the gentry; and not on the part of Mr. Dupre. The petitioner was charged with not having educated any boys within a certain time—that was not his fault, as no boys had been brought him. It was stated that the master's salary amounted to 5,9931., but that was a most unfair way of putting it, as that sum constituted his salary for a period of twenty-one years, and he never had received more than 2501. in any one year. He was also charged with having put the Charity to the expense of 2,7721. for law; but in all those cases Mr. Dupre had been the defendant, and in no case had he been called upon to pay the costs of the other party. He would also state that there were visitors appointed to the school, and it was their duty to report any misconduct, if any had taken place. The sole object of the petitioner in presenting that petition, was to justify himself from the charges that had been brought against him. Mr. GOULBURN was sorry the Rev. Gentleman had thought that he (Mr. G.) had utken a course adverse to him. He could assure the House that no one would be better pleased than him to find that the charges had been made without foundation. Mr. WARD said the charge against Mr. Dupre was, that he had made this foundation a mere grammar-school, and had thereby made it perfectly useless to the neighbourhood in which it was placed. The Committee would be very anxious to have the whole subject inquired into, and if it was found that some Bill upon the subject should be introduced, he would be most happy to give it his support. Sir R. INGLIS said a few words which were inaudible in the gallery. Mr. R. A USTEN said the petitioners found no fault with Mr. Dupre personally, but they complained that a cha rity of 16001. was rendered useless, from the manner in which it was administered. The Petition was laid on the table. Mr. D UNC 0 MBE then presented a petition from Colonel Bradley, complaining that justice had not been done him on a former evening, when it was stated that his arrest was merely formal. He had been treated with great cruelty upon the occa sion, which he verified by an affidavit. DANISH CLAIMS. Mr. HUTT presented a petition from Hull in favor of these claims. Mr. GOULBURN presented two petitions to the same effect. DRUNKENNESS. Sir W. MOLE SWORTH presented a petition from a parish in Cornwall against spirit drinking. Mr. JACK SON presented a petition from Bandon against the Irish Church Bill. Also one complaining of a man having been sentenced to be transported for 14 years, for an offence which he committed in a fit, to which he was subjected. POOR LAWS. Mr. PALMER presented a petition from ninety medical gentlemen, complaining of the smallness of the remuneration to medical gentlemen under the new Poor Law Act. Mr. WALTER had been instructed to support this petition, and he did so the more warmly from the conviction of the truth of its statements. Captain CURTEIS protested against the Commissioners interfering with the guardians in regulating the salaries of officers under this Act. Mr. S. LEFEVRE having heard that it was the inten tion of the Hon. Gentleman to present this petition, had made inquiries of the Poor Law Commissioners, and learned that they had not taken any steps as those stated; they had left it all to the Guardians of the several Unions. The petition was then laid on the table. ABERDEEN COLLEGES. Captain GORDON presented a petition from old Aber deen against the union of the two Colleges, also a petition from St. Martin's College in New Aberdeen against the same..—( Hear, hear, hear.) They did not object to the principle of the 13111, but to its details, which they considered unreasonable and unjust. The Hon. and Gallant Member presented another petition from several electors in Aberdeen shire, in favour of the Ballot. DORCHESTER UNIONISTS. Mr. H. MARSDEN presented a petition from Stockton on-Tees, in favour of the Dorchester Unionists. IRISH CHURCH. Captain WEMY SS presented a petition from Fife, in fa vour of the Irish Church Bill.---( Loud cheers.) Also a pe tition from the same place, against any grant to the Scotch Church. TAXES UPON KNOWLEDGE. Mr. WALL ACE rose to present a petition from 1,667 of the inhabitants of Greenock in favour of the taxes on know ledge being taken off. In doing so he would speak to a peti tion which he had presented from the labourers of the same place, amounting to no less than 704. The present petition was signed by the Magistrates, Town-Council, and several of the most respectable inhabitants of the town, and the other wlikh be had mentioned was signed by 700 of the labouring community. In presenting these petitions he could not but call the at tention of the House to one urgent reason why there was now a very good opportunity of taking off this obnoxious tax. It had been stated to his great surprise, but much to his satisfaction by no less than two wise men in the other House of Parliament, that mail-coaches did not cost the country anything.—( Loud laughter.) When the Chancellor of the Exchequer, two years ago, was upon the subject of taking the tax off newspapers, he had stated that the mail-coaches, as they then existed, were not sufficient to carry the loads they had to carry under the present system, and the Noble Lord instanced the mails to Dover and Edinburgh, but it had been declared by the present Post-Master- General, and agreed to by other three of them, together with another Noble Lord, that the mail coaches travelled for nothing. That being so, in his opinion, the time had arrived for pressing upon the Chancellor of the Ex chequer this very necessary measure. On the other evening he had forgot to mention a fact which was extremely impor tant. In a newspaper which was published in New York, which he had in his possession, there were 1,331 advertisements. That showed, it anything could show, to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that if he would take off the tax upon News papers, he would receive from advertisements full and ample remuneration. It was his firm belief that the acts of insub ordination that had taken place were to be attributed to bad education. The time had now arrived when it became incumbent to teach the people in politics as well as on other subjects. There was no way in which the Ministers of the Crown could more effectually convince the people of their intentions to do them good than by declaring their willingness to remove all taxes upon knowledge.—( Cheers.) He hoped that when the budget was brought forward it would be seen that the present Government were determined not to leave to any other Government the credit of doing so great and so excellent a good, The Hon. Member then brought up the petition. Mr. A. SANDFORD presented a similar petition from Chard. The Hon. Member stated that the feeling in that part of the country, even among the higher classes, was very gene ral in favour of the removal of this tax. COLLIERS' WAGES. Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from the colliers of the county of Renfrew, praying that the House would interfere for the purpose of altering the mode by which they were paid their wages, DISTRESS IN IRELAND. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented two petitions from the inhabitants of parishes in the County of Mayo, complaining of distress, and praying that the House would introduce such a system of legislation as would relieve them. He would at the earliest day move an address to his Majesty praying for some relief to the parties mentioned. Lord MORPETH would not then enter into a discussion at that moment, as the Hon. Member had given notice of a motion upon the subject. But he could not let that opportunity pus, without assuring the Hon. Gentleman that, whatever the House might do, the Government would do all in its power to relieve the complaints.—( Cheers. ) Mr. H. G RATTAN said the great evil to be cured was, that of the absenteeism of the great landlords. Colonel PERCIVAL agreed with the Hon. Member that absenteeism was the great curse of Ireland—(Cheers)-- but he was bound further to say, that until the coun try was brought into a state of tranquillity--until agitation was put down, it was impossible for gentlemen to settle in that country. The Hon. Member was perfectly aware of the case of an English Gentleman who went from the County of Norfolk to Ireland out of motives of philanthropy, and settled in the county of Mayo, where he did great good to his tenants and neighbours. In the year 1831, when he thought proper to exercise his franchise by giving a vote in favour of the liberal Marcus Somerville, and against that influence which he (Col. P.) was sorry to wry had now got so powerful as to command even the Government of the day, the consequence was that he was persecuted and fired at—his steward was murdered, and that merely because he wore the cloak belonging to his master. It was absurd to suppose that Gentlemen would go to settle in a country where they were so traitorously and treacherously used. Mr. ROBINSON said that not only were not the persons of the landlords safe, but their property also was frequently in jured and destroyed. Captain CUIiTE IS would ask the Hon. Member for Sligo who agitated at Belfast a short time ago ?—( Hear, hear.) Mr. H. GRATTAN said it was distinctly proved that the steward was going to turn the man and his family out of the house. ney- General promised to consider, and the clause was post poned for that purpose. On clause 02 being pi-bpi - 310; Mr. PARROTT wished to move an amendment. This clause gave the Council of every borough to which a separate Commission of the peace should be granted, power to grant alehouse licences. The amendment which he wished to pro pose was to empower the Councils of horbughs tibt havitik commission of the peace; tti gilnt licences to persons to keep inns, ale.houset, and victualling-houses in the same way as the Councils in the larger boroughs were empowered to do. He also thought it would be necessary to introduce a clause spe cially to restrain the county magistrates from granting licences in any of the boroughs. He therefore moved that the words " to which a separate commission of the peace shall have been granted" be omitted. Mr. G ROTE suppnrttd the motion. Lord J. RUSSELL, although he felt justified in proposing that the power of granting alehouse licences, which had been enjoyed by the county magistrates ever since the time of Ed ward VI., should be taken away in certain cases, yet he was not prepared to do so in all cases. He was of opinion that in the larger boroughs, those persons who would be chosen mem bers of the Council would be of sufficient weight and conside ration, and would have a sufficient degree of responsibility imposed on them, to allow of their exercising the power of granting licenses without the intervention of the magistrates ; but he could not agree that the same argument held good with respect to the members of the Council in the smaller boroughs. He had endeavoured to carry the improved prin ciple as far as it was proper ; but he was not disposed to give any great powers to the Councils of small and insignificant towns. He thought it would be better to leave these towns under the jurisdiction of the county magistrates. He, there fore, begged his Hon. Friend not to persist in the amend ment he had now proposed. Mr. AG L lONB Y regretted that the Noble Lord should oppose the amendment. In that part of the country with which he was more particularly acquainted he knew that the licensing system was the strongest political engine the magistrates pos sessed.—( Hear, hear.) It was well known the magistrates were the mere nominees of the Lord Lieutenant, and that in exercisinc , their power of granting licenses, they invariably fa voured their own partisans; and as they themselves were only the nominees of the Lord Lieutenant, their partisans must ne cessarily be the partisans of the Lord Lieutenant himself. Now, it was likewise very well known that the Lord Lieute nant of the county of Cumberland entertained political opi nions quite opposite to those entertained by the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Home Department. He would, there fore, again entreat the Noble Lord not to strengthen the power of his political opponents by resisting the present amendment. Mr. DAWSON deprecated the principle of giving the powei of licensing to the town council in any borough. Mr. CHARLES BULLER was quite willing to admit that the attack was a libel on the principle of the English law, that the greater the truth the greater the libel. The Lord Lieutenants jobbed in the appointment of the magistrates, and the magistrates jobbed in the discharge of their duty. He would prefer taking the power of licensing from the magis trates in all cases. After a few words from Mr. CAYLEY and Col. SIBTIIOIIP, Mr. G. F. YOUNG deprecated the attack on the magis tracy. ___ Mr. WARBURTON said it was matter of history on the Reports of Committees of the House that the magistrates had abused the power of licensing ; and in order that the public might not be thrown prostrate before them, he should vote for the amendment. Mr. CHICHESTER defended the conduct of the magis trates, and contended that they were a body with whom no na tion could produce a parallel.—( Opposition cheers, answered by ironical cheers from the other side of the House ) He felt bound to oppose the amendment of the Hon. Member for Totness. Mr. EWA RT should decidedly vote for the amendment. Sir ROBERT INGLIS defended the conduct of the ma gistracy, and opposed the proposition of the Hon. Member for Totness. Mr. PARROTT, in deference to the opinion of the House, consented to withdraw his amendment. The amendment was accordingly withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. Clause 64. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES proposed the insertion of a proviso to add to the number of charitable trustees of every borough, the recorder for the time being (if any) of such bo rough, and all persons acting under and by virtue of his Ma jesty's commission (if any) as justices of the peace, in and for the same. Lord JOHN RUSSELL opposed the amendment. After a few words from Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Maclean, and Mr. Goulburn, the amendment was negatived without a divi. sion, and the clause was agreed to. The clauses up to the 75th were then agreed to. Clause 76 was agreed to after some discussion. Clauses 77 to 61 inclusive were then severally put and agreed to, after a number of verbal amendments had been made on them. The clauses from 92 to 96 were then agreed to. On clause 97 being moved, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was his intention to pro. pose that the House should sit to-morrow to receive the Re port ; but as the House was now full, he need not say that, if they could finish the discussion to-night it would be more desirable.—( Hear, hear.) He therefore would ask permis sion of the House to receive the Report immediately.—( Hear, hear)—and he should propose the third reading of the Bill on Monday.(—Hear.) The clauses from 97 to 126 were agreed to. On clause 127 being moved, Mr. MACLEAN moved that the following proviso be added, having, he said, been requested to do so by his con stituents : " Provided always that in place and stead of the present custom of the mayor of the city of Oxford, pre viously to entering upon his office, attended by sixty-two of his burgesses, appearing before the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, at the High Altar and St. Mary's Church in the said city, and making oath to observe all the customs and privileges of the said University, the mayor shall, previously to entering upon his office, attend and take such oath before the Vice-Chancellor at his residence, in like manner as is now done by the Sheriff of Oxford." On more than one occasion the University had been found disposed to wave such of their privileges as were objectionable, when their charter did not interfere. It did, on the present occa. sion, and he hoped the difficulty would be got rid of. Mr. ESTCOURT said the proviso appeared to him to be inconsistent with the objeet of the Bill, and he should op. pose it on that ground if on no other. Mr. H. HUGHES supported the proviso. Sir R. INGLIS thought it a proviso that ought to be adopted. 'qr. WILKS should decidedly oppose a proviso of this character. Mr. MA CLE AN withdrew his amendment, and the clause was agreed to. Mr. HAWKE S moved an amendment in clause 128, which enables the inhabitants of a town to petition the Privy Council for a Corporation, to the effect that the petition should not be granted unless supported by two-thirds of the rated inhabitants of the said town. He alluded to a petition which had formerly been presented from Dudley in favour of the Bill, and said that he bad good reason for believing that 3,000 of the signatures to that petition had been written by the same hand. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he, on the other hand, had reason to belies. that the signatures to the petition were good, and that it represented the feelings of the majority of the inhabitants. Mr. HAWKES said that the clause, as it now stood, would inflict a great hardship upon many towns. The amendment was negatived. Clause 12, which had been postponed, being proposed, Sir W. FOLLETT said that this clause, in its existing shape, fixed the 25th October, in the present year, as the period within which the list of persons entitled to certain rights of property in the borough, must be made out'; and declared that every person claiming such rights, should be prevented from enjoying them, unless his name were placed on the list. The Mayor was to be bound to make out the list of his own authority, without reference to any notice from the individuals concerned ; and the list, as so made out, was to be conclusive, though not in their favour. In some cases this might occasion great hardship ; in great trad ing towns persons might be absent—beyond seas, for instance —and unable to have their names inserted. A seaman now absent might not return until after the stated period, and he would then find himself deprived of his right. Children might also be made to suffer similarly, in consequence of being unable to claim their privilege within the limited time; and thus it would happen that a very great number of the poorer classes would be subjected to a severe deprivation. He should propose, first, to extend the time generally till the 25th Octo ber, 1836: then, to meet the case of those absent beyond seas, he should propose that no one should be excluded who should be out of the realm at the time of the passing of the Act, and should continue absent until the 25th October, 1836, but that such person should be admitted if he made his claim within six months after his return ; and, thirdly, to provide for the case of children, he should propose that in the event of a sufficient reason being given to the mayor for the claim not having been made before, he should be required to admit it. As to another clause which the Noble Lord proposed for the purpose of compelling freemen to sell their rights, that did appear to him strongly objectionable.—( Hear.) It compelled a freeman having rights of property to sell them to the corporation if the council should think fit to purchase, and the money pro duced was to go into own pocket, and in no wise be applied for the benefit of his children, to whom a portion of the rights belonged. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who spoke in a very low tone of voice, was understood to say, that the period of the 25th of October, 1835, had been fixed, because at that time the old Corporations would cease to exist, and the new Councils would come into being. To the general extension of the time he was not disposed to assent ; but to some proviso, reserving the rights of persons absent beyond seas, he should have no ob jection ; with respect to the other clause, compelling the sale of freemen's r i g ht s o f property, h e did think that some such power ought to be given to the new Council, with a view to the general interest. gr. LOWTHER. supported the proposition of the Hon. and Learned Member for Exeter, for extending the time in the case of persons beyond seas. Mr. WARBURTON thought it necessary that at some time a precise list should be obtained I and, therefore, that some limitation should be fixed for the case of persons beyond seas. An amendment was then inserted as assented to by Lord ,John Russell. Sir R. INGLIS moved a clause to the effect, that the Bill should not come into operation in any borough (the snaking up the roll of burgesses therein always excepted), until it, should have been adopted by the absolute majority of the said lititgetttt Lord JOHN RUSSELL objected to the clause. _ . . Negatived without a division. Sir R. INGLIS moved the following clause :—" That the Town Council shall be styled the Court of the Mayor and Council of btlt Jiord the 10,nr . ,r Aft atki ,fe t t fhe berough of A, and shall have the powers of a Court After a few words from the ATTORNEY-GENERAL— - The clause was negatived without a division ; as were also the following clauses, which were also moved by Sir R. IN GLIS :—" That Members of the Town Council shall not be removeable, except by the absolute majority of the burgesses registered in the borough " That tounirlipal oaths shall be takeh by ilie burgesses, and by the Mayor and Members of the Town Council, and by the Recorder and Town-Clerk." Mr. BRODIE moved the following clause:—" And be it further enacted, that in no case where there is a trust now ex isting for charitable uses, in which it is required that every per son shall be disqualified to act in the trust if he shall become a Member of a body corporate, shall any person, being such trustee, be disqualified to act in the trust, in consequence of his being elected a Member of the Town Council of any city or borough under this Act." Lord J. RUSSELL said that it appeared to him that to agree to this clause would be to set aside one of the provisions of this Bill. The clause was negatived without a division. Mr. R. WA SON moved the following clause:—" That all laws relating to bribery and corruption at elections for Mem bers to serve in Parliament, be applied to all elections which shall take place under this Act." Lord J. RUSSELL did .not immediately see any objection to the clause ; but, on the contrary, thought that at least something like it ought to be adopted. He had not, however, sufficiently consulted the Acts to which the clause referred; and he therefore suggested to the Hon. Gentleman the ex pediency of withdrawing the clause, and submitting it again on the third reading of the Bill. After a few words from Mr. WYNN, Mr. R. W A SON acquiesced in the Noble Lord's recom mendation, and withdrew the clause. Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER moved the following clause :—" And whereas certain bodies corporate are seised or possessed of divers advowsons or, rights of presentation to rectories, vicarages, and other ecclesiastical benefices, and also of churches or chapels devoted to the purpose of religious worship, according to the rites of the Established Church of England. And whereas it is expedient that the exercise of such right of presentation, and the direction, care, and super intendence of such churches and chapels, and of all the matters and things relating thereto, be in the direction of, and exclu sively vested in, members of the Established Church of Eng land. Be it therefore enacted, that in every borough in which the body corporate is seised or possessed of any advowson or right of presentation to any rectory, vicarage, or other eccle siastical benefice, or is seised or possessed of any church or chapel devoted to the purpose of religious worship, according to the rites of the Established Church of England, the council of such borough shall, on the Ist day of November, in this and every succeeding year, nominate and appoint out of their own body a committee for the management of the ecclesiastical property and affairs of such body corporate, such committee to be composed of persons being members of the Established Church of England, and such committee exclusively shall ex ercise the right of presenting to every such rectory, vicarage, and other ecclesiastical benefices, and shall also have the entire and exclusive care, management, superintendence, direction, and control of the said churches and chapels, and all matters, proceedings, and regulations whatsoever connected therewith, and over which the body corporate have now any power or authority, and shall do, or cause to be done, at the costs, charges, and expense of such body corporate, all acts and things which the said committee may deem necessary or expe dient for the maintenance, keeping up, and support of such churches and chapels, in the same manner and in all respects as the same have been hitherto maintained, kept up, and sup ported by the body corporate to which the said churches and chapels belong►." Lord J. RUSSELL thought that such a clause would be improperly introduced in such a Bill as the present; and that it would be contradictory to existing enactments. He must object to any clause, providing that a certain number of any corporate body should be of a particular religious persuasion. Mr. G 0 ULBURN supported the clause, and contended that the existing laws, instead of being in opposition to it, were in conformity with it. By the Bill, as it stood, and without some clause such as that now proposed, Roman Ca tholics would have the power of exercising an authority which they never before possessed. He contended that persons who entertained opinions contrary to the doctrines of the Church of England, ought not to have any share in the patronage of the Church of England. Lord HO WICK said, that the ecclesiastical patronage which the Dissenters were enabled to enjoy under the Test and Corporation Acts, was infinitely greater than the powers conferred on them by the part of the present Bill, which was now objected to. The clause proposed could have no other effect than that of increasing the animosities and religious dif ferences existing amongst all persuasions.—('Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. Wthsts and Lord SANDON, the clause was negatived without a- division. Sir W. FOLLETT then moved the insertion of certain clauses for the purpose of establishing Courts of Record in the boroughs mentioned in the Schedule to the Bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was opposed to estab lishing a defective system of local courts, such as he thought those proposed would be. He expected soon to see such courts founded on a proper and sound footing. The clauses were then withdrawn. Schedules A, B, C, D, and E, were then agreed to. The House resumed, and the Report was received. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved " That the Bill be read a third time on Monday next."—(Loud cheering for some minutes.) The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at two o'clock to Monday. ROUSE OF LORDS, JULY 17. At five o'clock Sir L. SHADIVELL:Vice-Chancellor, took his seat on the Woolsack for the first time, under the Com mission appointing him Speaker of the House of Lords in the absence of Lord Denman. The new Speaker was congratu lated by Lord Melbourne, Lord Lansdowne, and other Noble Lords as they entered the House Lord BROUGEIANI was occupied in giving judgment in the case of " Browne v. Sinclair" till half-past five. Their Lord ships ordered that the case should be remitted to the Court of Session in Scotland for further consideration. Lord STAFFORD moved the second reading of the Ge neral Turnpike Act. SCOTTISH COLLEGES. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from Marischal College, against a Bill before the other House, for uniting the Colleges of Aberdeen. He coincided in the prayer of the petition—be thought such a proposition should have originated with his Majesty, and hoped the Bill would not be presented in this Session. Lord BROUGHAM thought there was nothing irregular in receiving a petition against a Bill not regularly before their Lordships. Viscount MELBOURNE said a few words in favour of the Bill, which the petitioners could not know the provisions of at the time they presented the petition. The Earl of ABERDEEN begged to know if any steps would be taken by their Lerdships in consequence of the Re port of the Commissioners of Education relative to the Glas gow College ? Viscount MELBOURNE could not give any definitive answer to the question, but he could state that it was the in tention of his Majesty's Government to take all the recom mendations of the Commissioners into consideration. ADMISSION OF LADIES. Lord BROUGHAM, in alluding to a motion which had been passed last night in another place, deprecated in very strong terms the introduction of Ladies to the Houses of Lords and Commons. There was no person more devoted to the fair sex than himself, nor no person more desirous of seeing them in their proper places—( Hear, and a laugh)—but if no other Noble Lord did so, he (Lord Brougham) would feel it his duty to move, that they be excluded from the House of Lords dur ing their Lordships' deliberations. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had not seen any ar rangement in the Report of the Building Committee for the accommodation of ladies, and could give no information on the subject. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Messengers from the House of Commons appeared at the bar for the purpose of obtaining a copy of the Report of the Committee appointed to provide necessary accommodation for their Lordships.—Ordered. Several private Bills to which the House of Commons had agreed were also brought up. DUTY ON TIMBER. Lord ASHBURTON presented petitions from St. John's, and other places in New Brunswick, against any alteration in the duty on timber, Lord AUCKLAND said it was not intended to propose any alteration in the duties on timber in the present session. Lord MONSON presented a petition in support of the Irish Church, and against the appropriation clauses. Lord FARNHAM supported the petition. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS. Lord WHARNCLIFFE,aithOuic opposed to Municipal Reform, and although believing that the Secretary of State was right in refusing the protest of Mr. Hogg as a Report, wished to know if the Noble Viscount opposite bad any objec tion to state why it had been refused as a protest ? He was quite willing to state that great reform was necessary in Mu nicipal Corporations ; and the only difference which existed between him and the Noble Lords opposite was, as to the mode in which that Reform was to be effected.—( Hear, hear.) Par liament had a perfect right, however, to require that all the important evidence laid before the Commissioners should be submitted to their jurisdiction, in order that they might deter mine whether the conclusions drawn from facts deposed, were just and well founded. He must say that the protest which had been some time since sent in by Sir F. Palgrave, had gone far to substantiate the charge which had been brought against the Commissioners, viz., that their Report was not drawn up on fair grounds ; but, on the contrary, was marked by party views, and a predetermination to view the subject in a certain light which suited their own purpose. Mr. Hogg also, the Commissioner to whose opinions he (Lord Wharncliffe) had now called their Lordships' attention, had sent in a paper in the shape of a protest, to the Secretary of the Home De partment, which would not be received by the Noble Lord in that shape, but which contained this Commissioner's reasons for refusing to accede to the Report which had been returned by the oti:er Commissioners.--( Hear, hear.) He thought it most desirable that their Lordships should be made ac quainted with the contents of this document; and he there fore wished to know whether the Noble Lord opposite had any objection that the correspondence which bad taken place between Mr, /Ogg and the Noble Lord, the Secretary of State for the , Home Department, and also the oper which Mr. Hogg sent in the shape of a protest, should be produced. LottIMELOQURNE conceived that the Noble Lord had fully answered his otivii fpegtion for he admitted that if each member of a Commission were Suffereti to send in a separate Report, there would be no end to such proceedings, and no advantage could be derived from the appointment of a Com. missiort to in q uire into any subject.—( Hear, hear.) But then the Noble Liikd had dad that if this paper of Mr. Hogg's were not received as a report, it alight nevertheless be sanctioned as a protest. Why, if it were not right that it shotild be re ceived as a report, it followed as a matter of course that it ought not to be received as a protest, which was a mere change of its name. . . Lord WHAIINCLIFFE—Then why receive the protest of Sir F. Palgrave Lord MELBOURNE—That retest was erroneously re ceived at the time the measure on Corporate Reform was •in course of preparation, and formed no ground for tlie reception of the paper from Mr. Hogg. He apprehended, howetcr, that no disposition whatever to stifle Mr. Hogg's Report would be displayed; and he was sure, if the Noble Lord was anxious to obtain the information contained in that Report, that the gentleman from whom it proceeded would be most willing to communicate it.—(Hear, and a laugh.) The Noble Lord might, therefore, enjoy the full benefit of the Report, and in troduce it to the close and immediate attention of their Lord ships, by embodying it in his speech on the question of Mu nicipal Reform, when the Bill relating to that question was brought up for discussion in that House,—( Hear, hear.) Lord ABERDEEN said that nothing was more common than for a member or members of a Commission to enter a protest against the Report on which the majority of their bro ther Commissioners might have decided. This was done in reference to a question which bad come under their Lordships' notice that night—he alluded to the subject of the Scotch Universities. Commissioners had been appointed to inquire into the state of learning in those Universities, and some of them had returned a Report, which was accompanied by a pro test from others. He was satisfied that the same course should be pursued in the present case ; and lie was the more con vinced of the expediency and justice of having Mr. Hogg's protest received, because he thought that Parliament would have lost much valuable information on the question of which it treated, if the protest of Sir F. Palgrave had not been made and admitted.—( Cheers. ) Lord A SHBURTON said, that the only question in the present case appeared to him to be whether Mr. Hogg was a fit person to be placed on this commission ; and as it seemed to be acknowledged that he was, his opinions were, he thought, exactly those which it was necessary that their Lordships should be made acquainted with.—( Hear, hear.) Lord WH A RNCLIFFE observed that Mr. Hogg com plained that he had not been allowed a fair opportunity of stating his opinions on the subject of Municipal Corporations. Mr. Hogg had also said, that he sent in Reports with re spect to Liverpool and other places, which were not printed. The Noble Lord had no objection, he presumed, to the pro duction of the correspondence, which had passed between Mr. Hogg and the Secretary of State. Lord MELBOURNE—None whatever. Lord HARR° 11' B Y did not consider the Noble Lord the Secretary of State for the Home Department justified in re jecting the protest of Mr. Hogg. He trusted that some mode would be devised by which the important information in the protest of Mr. Hogg should be laid before Parliament. —( Hear, hear.) Lord MELBOURNE did not think that it was attaching any undue importance to a Report to have it decided upon by a majority of Commissioners, as those only who assented to it affixed their names to the document. This proceeding did not, however, put Parliament in possession of the grounds on which the assent of those who refused to sign the Report was withheld. As it was far from his intention that any in formation which could be properly afforded should not be laid before their Lordships, he should take care to see his Noble Friend the Secretary of the Home Department on the sub ject, before Monday, and determine on what course to pursue with a view of meeting the wishes expressed by some of their Lordships.—( Hear, hear.) The Bishop of EXETER recollected a remarkable prece dent for the adoption of the course proposed to be taken with respect to Mr. Hogg's protest. It was the Report of the Commissioners on National Education in Ireland, three of whom decided on a Report which the two other members of the Commission dissented from. To the Report, how ever, was subjoined the protest of the dissentients.—( Hear.) ECCLESIASTICAL REVENUES. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY gave notice that it was his intention on Monday to move the second reading of the Bill for the protection of Ecclesiastical Revenues, and preventing the lapse of the same. COMPARATIVE STATE OF CRIME IN IRELAND. The Marquis of WE STME ATH said, that the Return for which he was about to move, might at any other time be con sidered of an invidious character ; but in the present circum stances of Ireland, he thought he could not be said to draw such a religious distinction, in the Return for which he meant to move, as was improper or unnecessary. The object of his Return was to show the effects of the discipline of the Ca tholic Church on the conduct of its members and on society. He had not the slightest doubt that in the struggle which the Protestants were now making for protection to Ireland, the sympathies of the northern Protestant nations of Europe would be extended to them. He was, therefore, most de sirous of showing that the Protestant doctrines had not re trograded in Ireland • that the preaching of the true gospel was in its effects useful to society, and conducive to the hap piness of its members ; and that the absence of it was neces sarily attended by the most vicious results. He concluded by moving " for a Return of the several prisoners committed to each county gaol in Ireland for offences not bailable, during the period between the Ist of April, 1834, and the Ist of July in the present year, specifying the amount of the number of those who were of the Established Church, together with Pro testants dissenting from it, and also those of the Roman Ca tholic religion." Lord DUNCANNON felt bound to oppose the motion of the Noble Lord, which, if carried, he thought must be consi dered a most invidious and offensive motion to the whole body of the Catholic population of Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) He did not see how the motion could be complied with, without instituting a Commission for the purpose of inquiring into the religion of all the persons committed to the gaols in Ireland. Even that would not answer the purpose which the Noble Lord had in view • for his motion referred to the past year only. He had only, therefore, to repeat that he did not think that conceding to the motion of the Noble Lord could have any other effect than that of creating the worst and most invidious feelings amongst the inhabitants of Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) The Duke of RICHMOND could not believe that the Noble Lord was serious in his intention of pressing such a mo tion as that which he had introduced. Surely, the Noble Lord must be aware that in a great many cases those who were com muted to gaols had none of the true principles or precepts of any religion implanted in their minds. Again, to call for a return of the number' of Protestants as compared with that of Roman Catholics, was to draw a comparison between the rich and the poor. The Noble Lard might just as well move for the comparative number of pie2cpockets in their Lordships' House and those living in St. Gires's•—( Hear.) Of course, where there was a large number of people uneducated and poor, they had a stronger temptation to commit crime than the wealthy and uneducated.—( Hear, hear.) He quite agreed with the Noble Lord (Duncannon) that a motn.sa of a more hostile and invidious nature—so far as the Cathoi.es of Ire land were concerned—could not be made.—( Hear.) Where could such a proceeding, if it were once established, ce,:se ? Similar Returns would no doubt soon be moved with respect to the comparative numbers of the English Protestants and Dis senters committed to our gaols. The'motion, if complied with, would be of no use, and if they got the Returns asked for, they could lead to no good end. The Marquis of C ONYNG HA M said that the motion of the Noble Lord must have precisely a contrary effect from that which he seemed to anticipate from it ; for if it were acceded to, it must inevitably lead to an aggravation of the existing differences on the subject of religion in Ireland. Lord HATHERTON said that he objected to the motion, not so much because he considered that it would be difficult to comply with it, but because the Returns could not possibly lead to any useful result. It was a complete fallacy (though a very popular error) to suppose that the number of crimes in Ireland was proportioned to the existence of the Catholic religion amongst the people.—( Hear, hear.) The fact was, that crimes attributed to the people of that country were not of such a character as were generally supposed. They were usually such as were likely to be committed by a population which were poor, and engaged in agricultural pursuits. He would only mention, in corroboration of his opinion, that in Tipperary the number of murders, larcenies, and crimes of that description, was much smaller than those committed in his own county ( Staffordshire), while the population of the former county was infinitely larger, and the calendar contained a greater number of offences.—( Hear, hear.) Several Bills were then advanced a stage, and the House adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Lewis ( whose real name is said to be Levy), John Sullivan, alias Sadler (the latter name was given at the sta tion-house), and John Morris, were yesterday charged with having been concerned in a desperate affray and attack on the police the over-night, at the gambling-house, No. 1, Leicester square. Mr. CONANT (having consulted Mr. Halls), decided upon fining Morris 51. for the assault, Sullivan 3/., and holding Lewis to bail. MARYLEBONNE. ednesday, Charles Benjamin, a notorious Jew " duffer," who has been twice tried at Maidstone, and on one occasion convicted, was placed at the bar before Mr. RAWLINSON, on the charge of having entered the area of the house of Sir William Curtis, Weymouth-street, Portland-place, for the purpose of committing a felony. Mr. RAWLINSON ordered the prisoner to find bail, himself in 501., and two housekeepers in 251. each, for his better beha viour in future ; in default of which he was conveyed to the lock-up room. Sir William Curtis here rose from his seat and left the office, declaring, emphatically, as he went out, that he would discharge any of his servants who took upon themselves to admit a Jew, whether honest, or otherwise, into his house again. THE ORANGE ANNIVERSARY.—The Irish pa pers contain accounts of several Orange outrages. At Bel. fast there has been a most melancholy loss of life. Indeed the return of the anniversary this July has been more sanguinary than in any preceding year. REFORM IN THE CRIMINAL LA At the meeting held yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern (noticed in The San), the object of which was to petition both Houses a Parliament to insert in the Cert iorari now pending before the House of Lords, a clause to compe l Magistrates to take down in writing the evidence in ali case in .which they may have summary jurisdiction,— Mr. WMSKEY, M. P., having been called to the Chair, (lOU upon the importance of compelling Magistrates to make are: cord of their proceedings, with a view of affording a checli upon them, should it be necessary ; and proceeded to reraiu3 upon the House of Lords, which, he said , was calle d, in the House of Commons, the House of Incurables. The people, he said, had very few Representatives in the House of Com' s be mons—( Applause)—and none in the Lords ; and the M emr of the House of Commons were treated by the Lords lik e servants. The Hon. Member went on to describe the P O th " ceedings which took place at the " conferences" between e Lords and Commons. The Lords, he said, were covered told were seated at these conferences, but the Members of the House of Commons were compelled to stand and be un covered' —( Cries of " Shame.") While he (Mr. Wakley), howev e ' held a scat in that House, he would never submit to such in' dignity.--( Applause. ) Mr. O'CONNELL entered the room soon after one o'cloc k ' and was received with thunders of applause. He dwelt old} great energy on the wrongs of Ireland ; and said , instead °I 30,000 soldiers being required to watch over h is ill-fated country, 5,000 were more than sufficient to keep the p vh eal; Magna Charta was the birth-right of Englishmen ;by sfi, it was enacted, that no freeman shall be hurt either in "" person or property. After the resolutions bad been moved and seconded to cacti the petition into effect, Mr. ROGERS moved a vote of thanks to the 01 , 60 11110 which being unanimously carried, the meeting separated- MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ._.-........___ ( From the London New Price Current of last EVOllingio SUGAR.-The intelligence from Jamaica and from the of 0, Islands is of a very recent date, they generally state in A Co fident manner that the produce for the season will bo gre ater te under an average crop; the consequence has been a still gres,,,, demand for West India Sugar, and more eagerness to P chase ; the prices progressively improve.
