AIORNINCI EDITION IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 21. The Commissioners were the LORD CHANCELLOR, he Earl of CLARENDON, and Viscount DUNCANNON. The Militia Bill was read a third time and passed. The Appropriation Bill. was read a third time and passed. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL. The Marquis of NORMANBY moved the third read ing of the Criminal Justice Bill. The Earl of WILTON said he should strenuously op pose this Bill on account of a certain gentleman con nected with Manchester (as we understood), who, if this Bill passed, would be visited with gross injustice. He (the Earl of Wilton) should therefore move that Man chester should be exempted from tile operation of the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the claims of the gentleman, whose cause the Noble Earl had advocated, had been considered in the House of Commons and rejected. He thought the claims of one individual ought not to deprive the public of the benefit of a mea sure which, as a general measure, he thought none of their Lordships opposed. The Duke of WELLINGTON said the Noble and Learned Lord opposite (Lord Brougham) had always held, that when such reforms as these took place, care should be taken that the parties who were affected by them, should have compensation. He (the Duke of Wellington) thought there never was a stronger case than this. He advised their Lordships never •x:, consent to be the means of inflicting injustice. Lord BROUGHAM said there was no difference as to the yinciple entertained by the Noble Duke and himself; the eifference lay in the opinion of its application. The gentleman to whom they were referring held his situation at the pleasure of certain individuals, it - was not a permanent situation. Lord LYNDHURST said they had granted compen ss don to the clerics of the Magistrates of Birmingham -and Warwick, and he could not see how they could ex ;elude from compensation the gentleman who was clerk to the Magistrates in Manchester, and who had held his t office for upwardly of 35 years. The .Nlarquis of NORMANBY said he thought that no Noble Lord who left that House, on Friday evening, ; supposed that this subjeetwould be again brought on for . discussion this evening. —(Hear, hear.) He thought their Lordships did not understand the situation which this Gentleman held. He was clerk to the stipendiary Ma i gistrates. Now suppose the Magistrate was to die, this gentleman, holding a situation at the pleasure of one per . son, might, thereby, be deprived of it. How, then, was he entitled to a compensation ? Lord ABINGER said he had known the gentleman to whom reference had been made, all his life, and he had held. his situation under several stipendiary Magistrates, and. he had given satisfaction to them all. His was a public situation, and he had filled it to the satisfaction of all parties. He (Lord Abinger) thought if they . gave compensation to one they ought to give it to another. The Earl of RADIRTOR said it was understood on Friday evening that this discussion would not be brought on again, and he understood the Noble Earl (Wilton) when on his legs, to have said so. The Earl of WILTON.--No, no ; I did not. The Earl of RADNOR.—Then it was generally' un derstood by many Noble Lords on the opposite side of the House, that it would not be brought on again. The Noble Lord who spoke last, said that justice ought to be done to this gentleman, by giving him compensation. Why did not the Noble Lord propose compensation ? The Noble Lord. was willing to do injustice to the people of Birmingham and Warwick, to give compensa don to this one person.—(Hear, hear.) After a few words from the Earl of Warwick, the I Marquis. of Salisbury, and the Marquis of Normanby. The Earl of WICKLOW said that he had voted gain: I his Noble Friend the Earl of Wilton, but he fully nde - :stood that this subject was to be brought on again t his evening. ` r ile? Marquis of NORMANBY said that he wished t't .eir Lordships not to divide without knowing that by ,greeing to the proposed amendment they would alter a money clause, the clause being one of compensation. Lord LYNDHURST said the effect of the amendment would. be simply to withdraw Manchester from the opera tion of the Bill, and surely their privileges were not to be checked in that respect because the clause was a compen sation clause. Their Lordships thin divided— Contents ~.;.y 7O Non-co , :ttents Majority for the amendment —34 POOR-LAWS (IRELAND). The Marty - Lis of WESTMEATH wished to ask the Noble Marciuis opposite a question relative to the late P,,meeedinif ,s in the Clonmel Union. It appeared that Mr. °tailley ' l ea Mr. Nichols had left the responsibility of those P pr, Iceedings upon Mr. Hawley, Mr. Hancock, and ,Mr. h dun ; and he now wished to know, whether the • "°"r 7 invent intended to retain those persons in office. With trgard to Mr. Phelan, he (the Marquis of West ; mew" A) should say, after having carefully weighed the ItAP fence, that unless he was much mistaken, that gentle r. an had grossly prevaricated when examined before t seir Lordships. The Marquis of NORMANBY complained of the manner in which the Noble Marquis had mixed up ques :tion3 and assumptions. He did not think, however, that that was the time for entering into an examination of those assumptions, and he should therefore content him self .with saying, in reply to the question of the Noble =Marquis. that it was not the intention of the Government to dismiss any of the gentlemen named from their situa- Lions. - The Marquis of WESTMEATII—Then I wish the Noble Marquis and the Government much joy of having such functiouaries under them.(Laughter.) • Lord BROUGHAM complained of the language which the Noble Marquis had used towards a party who had bwii examined as a witness in that House. He had not 'himself any knowledge of the conduct of the witness in question ; ut if there was any thing tS blame in that conduct :et, Jim be properly tried, and, if just, let him be punlsheo. He thought the Noble Marquis ought to re-cor. side ; his expressions. "7 1 ' .1 7.,larquis of NORMANBY said that after the v Aer)._te had been lying for months on the table and left • 1 ,noticed, it was a most improper proceeding to corn ..tent, upon the characters of witnesses. The Noble Mar quis aught in his opinion to retract the language he had Lis& I. The Marquis of WESTMEATH—I cannot, I regret to spy, do that consistently with my own good opinion of self.—(Laughter.) - The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL then rapidly ad vanced amidst general laughter to the table of the House for the purpose of presenting a petition of which he had given notice. The Noble Earl having silenced some other 'Peers who attempted to address the House at the , sane time, proceeded to say that he had to present a pe from certain rate-payers of the Union of Fermoy. I . l.'he petitioners complained that the Commission . ers had attempted to compel the guardians of • the Union to purchase for a poor-house the harrac!;.s of Fermoy, although that building was in a 0-ruined and dilapidated state. The guardians had, be pidoe, been promised that the purchase of the building sitould not cost more than 4,9001., while the sum now -demanded amounted to 7,8001. The Noble Earl, having 4antered into some detai!s upon the subject, concluded by fitcpres.3inr; his condemnation of the conduct of the Com _ ; vsioncrs. The Marquis of NORMANBY thought it would he to eater into the merits of the statement of the kble ;CAA, inasmuch as it was made up of details which 1-apossiblo for the House at present to judge of. ; Ls it appeared that the question was to be brought before , Court of Law, he would not himself offer any opinion )n the difference between the Commissioners and the . guardi4n s. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL explained, and the subject dropped. SCOTCH CHURCH. The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented 120 pe titions from different parts of Scotland, signed by up wards of thirty thousand persons, praying for the aboli tion of Church patronage in Scotland. The Noble - llarquissaid he had now presented upwards of 220 pe titions on this subject. The Earl of ABERDEEN would ask the Noble Mar quis whether he supported the prayer of the petitioners. He (the Earl of Aberdeen) would rather abolish Church patrenage in Scotland, then suffer such a vote as had been passed by the General Assembly. He thought that their anti-patronage agitation had been a complete failure, and as to the petitions that had been presented, he did not believe that the generality of the people of Scotland concurred in the prayer of those petitions. The Marquis of BREADALBANE said that in answer to the Noble Earl, he would state that he concurred in the prayer of the petitioners, to a certain extent. He was a decided advocate for the principle of non-intrusion. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, The petitions were ordered to be laid on the table. CORN-LAWS. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from Marlborough, in favour of the Ministerial measures. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL iDresented several pe titions from Ireland against any alteration in the corn and timber duties. WATER FOR THE METROPOLIS. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER said he should move in the next Session of Parliament for a Committee to inquire into the reports that have been made respect ing a betted supply of water to the metropolis. He had no doubt from those reports, that a better supply could be obtained, with a better quality of water. No doubt a Bill would be brought in in the next session for the pur pose of effecting this better supply. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 21. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before three o'clock, immediately after which the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod entered, and summoned the House to the House of Peers, to hear the Royal Assent given to up wards of 148 Bills, for which see our Lords' Report. On the motion of Viscount INGESTRE the Report of the Smithwick Chaplery Estate Bill was brought up, and the Bill read a third time and passed. On the motion of Mr. ESTCOURT the Lords' amend ments to the Blackburn Town's Moorßill were agreed to. CORN-LAWS. ,~ ~,. ~. Sir R. INGLIS presented five petitions from Tippe rary against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Mr. DENISTOUN presented 156 petitions from Scotland, signed by upwards of 20,000 persons, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr: VILLIERS presented petitions praying for the rqieek:or the Corn-laws from the following places Buckland, and Craddock ; nine petitions from Messrs. Ankrett's iron foundry, and tithe Methodists at Lock, in Staffordshire, Wigginton, and the Primitive Methodists IGlossop, Poyntor and Buxton, in Herts ; Early, woollen manufacturers, at Halley, _turd!, Oxfordshire, from Wilkin's work- Netherton, four different mills at Stock of Friends, Salton and Frodsha,m, male and:_ female inhabitants, Weston, Messrs.

Mr. HOBHOUSE on behalf of an Hon. Member, who was absent, presented a number of petitions from Che shire, praying for the total repeal, or modification, of the Corn-laws, and for the adoption of the Ministerial plans for Commercial Reform. Mr. PLUMPTRE presented petitions from Stoke Golding, in Leicestershire and other places, against any further grants to the Popish College of Maynooth. Mr. HINDLEY presented petitions from the West Riding of Yorkshire, praying for the repeal of the Corn laws, and for a revision of the tariff. Mr. RICH presented a petition from Kentish Town, praying for a reduction of the duties on Corn, Sugar, and Timber. IDOLATRY IN INDIA. Sir R. H. INGLIS, seeing his Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Control (Sir J. C. Hobhouse) in his place, begged to put some questions to him upon the subject of idolatry in India. In the first place he perceived that some returns in relation to the matter moved for by a Right Rev. Prelate in the other House had not been presented to Parliament in a complete form, and he begged to know whether the deficiency could be supplied ? He also wished to ask his Right Hon. Friend whether he could state to the House that any measures had been taken, or were now in progress, for the purpose of putting an end to the connection between the Officers of the East India Government, and the practice of idolatry, in consequenee of their being ap pointed as superintendent over the collection of the tribute in the temples. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said that he would take care that the returns referred to by his Hon. Friend should be presented in as complete a form as possible. He also had to state that he had lately received a memorandum from India, from which it appeared that measures were about to be taken for the purpose of putting an end to any connection between the officers of the Company and the idolatrous practices in the natives. He had on the receipt of the memorandum, written at once to the Government of Madras, expressing his satisfaction at the measures about to be taken, and requesting that no time should be lost in carrying them into effect. He should always use his best exertions in the subject. Mr. BAINES expressed his gratitude for the exertions of the Right Hon. Gentleman in attempting to suppress practices which could not be creditable to this country. Sir R. H. INGLIS presented a petition from a place in Gloucestershire, praying for Church Extension. Mr. LEADER presented a number of petitions from various places in the metropolis praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws and fiscal reform. Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from Dr. James Henry, in Ireland, complaining of the conduct of the enumerators appointed to take the late census in that country. From the inquisitorial nature of their ques tions they had raised great opposition, and thus ren dered the returns imperfect. Mr. DUGDALE presented a petition from the North American Colonial Committee against any alteration of the timber duties. Mr. LEADER presented a number of petitions from Leicester and the neighbouring villages, signed amongst others by 11,200 females, in all by 17,000 persons, pray ing for the immediate abolition of the Corn-laws. Mr. HINDLEY said, seeing the Noble Lord the Se cretary for the Colonies in his place, he wished to advert to a petition which he presented the other evening from the Aborigines Society, complaining of the conduct of Colonel Gawlor. It appeared that in consequence of an alleged murder by a party of the natives in South Australia Colonel Gawlor ordered some of them to be hung. He (Mr. Hindley) wished to ask the Noble Lord what had been the conduct of the protector of the aborigines in the colony, or whether he had any powers by which he might maintain the rights of the native tribes. Lord J, RUSSELL replied in a very low tone. We understood the Noble Lord to say that the parties bad been tried, and that their trial was conducted with the concurrence of the protective. Mr. THORNILY presented 52 petitions from dif ferent parts of the metropolis, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. WAKLEY presented five petitions from various parts of the metropolis to the same effect. Colonel PERCEVAL presented a petition signed by 1,323 residents of Market Harborough against any alte ration in the existing Corn-laws. BILLS OF EXCHANGE BILL. On the Order of the Day for the third reading of this Bill being read, Mr. HINDLEY said, of course, he would not oppose the passing of the Bill, particularly as its operation was to be limited to the space of one year. He hoped the Bill would receive better consideration next year, than it did this. Mr. HUME complained that the usury laws were made subservient to the landed interest. _ _ _ Mr. VILLIERS thought the Bill was 'calculated to benefit the commercial classes. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. The Loan Societies Bill was read a third time, and Lssed Mr. WAKLEY, pursuant to notice, rose to move for " A copy of any correspondence betty e'.‘n the Lords of the Admiralty and Mr. Warner, relative to a certain discovery said to be applicable to naval and military tactics," also " copy of the report of Lieutenant Webster, R.N. on the same subject." The Hon. Gentleman proceeded to say, that, having noticed the subject a few day's since, connected with the discovery of Mr. Warner, and, finding that a great deal of sympathy was entertained in that House towards that gentleman, and also finding since that time that there was a very strong feel ing on the subject out of doors he (Mr. W.) was anxious that the matter should not rest precisely where it was when it was last discussed before the House. It ought ought not to be called a discussion, as it was merely a conversation arising out of a question which he (Mr. Wakley) had put to the Noble Lord the Mem ber for Staffordshire (Lord Ingestre). The answer of the Noble Lord to his (Mr. Wakley's) question, excited in his mind the greatest astonishment. He (Mr. W.) was exceedingly surprised that the subject had been so much neglected by the Admiralty, and he but partook of astonishment which was almost universal. From articles published in the Times on the subject it appeared that the invention was brought under the notice of his late Majesty William W. so far back as the year 1830. The subject was then referred to Admiral Keats, who was engaged in investigating- for two years, when Admiral Hardy joined him in his examination of the invention. At a subsequent period various changes in the administration of the country took place, and Mr. Warner was led to go abroad ; on his returning, he found Sir James Graham First Lord of the Admiralty. Shortly after that period a Committee was appointed to investigate the matter, and Admiral Sir Robert Stopford was to act as chairman to the Committee. Before the labours of the Committee were brought to a conclusion, the Admiral went to take the command in the Mediterranean. Ultimately, however, Viscount Mel bourne's attention was called to the subject, and Lieut. Webster, R.N., was appointed to make an investigation, and report on the matter, and it was to that report that he (Mr. Wakley) wished to call the attention of the House. Viscount Melbourne concurred in the appoint ment of Lieutenant Webster, who made his report in 1839, a period now of very nearly two years since. That report Lord Melbourne referred to the Admiralty Board ; yet on a recent application the secretary of Lord Melbourne informed Lieut. Webster that Lord Melbourne had received no report whatever from the Admiralty. Thi s was a mo d e o f con d uct i ng t h e b us i ness of the to country which h e (M r . W a kl e y) was a t a l oss comprehe n d, an d was not even calculated to ra i se in the public mind a feeling o f respect f or th e L or d s o f the Admiralty.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Wakley) had never witnessed any of the experiments, and was ng any upon therefore incap a bl e o f f or others ; forward butl the those ho opinions opinion on them, his opinion was founded and representations ofopinions had been brought impossible that th e y s h ou ld in so tangible a shape that it was utterly impressaiosn anxiouson the public mind. the What o u shee should (Alr W. ) v, be fail to make a stron g put in po ssess i on o f for was the report which Lieutenant W e b ster that ind. presented to to the Admiralty. He thought the House was entitled to see it. The Hon. Gentleman then read some from the report, in which Lieut. Webster statede thatx r extracts t was convinced of the efficacy of the in vent i on, and that it would vest the sovereignty of the sea in the hands of the first Power that adopted it; that he was convinced that it was impossible for any thing that floated to resist it, either in its immediate vicinity, or within a range of five or six miles, and that one hundred sail of th e li ne would be useless against a vessel so constructed. The report then proceeded to eulogise Capt. Warner for his forbearance and patience under the neglect he had suffered and difficulties that had encountered him, and concluded by entreating their Lordships not to neglect the man on whom the safety of the country de pended. Subsequently Lieut. Webster addressed a letter to Sir W. Parker on the subject, in which, after again urging the claims of the inventor and the merit of the invention, he said that the responsibility of neglecting it would rest not with him, but with those who might have to answer for their conduct to the British nation. This was the report of the officer, who, under the sanction of Lord - Melbourne, was appointed to make the investigation, and to report upon it. And how was Captain Warner treated ? If he had been the greatest imposter he could not have been treated with greater neglect ; and Lieutenant Webster, an officer in her Majesty's service, met with similar treatment. Was it fair under the circumstances that the matter should have been shelved from that day to this ? But other parties had been treated worse than these gentlemen, and they were the British public. Captain Warner did not blame Lord Melbourne, but the Lords of the Admiralty ; and he (Mr. Wakley) much regretted that although notice had been given of the motion not one •of them was then pitsent. He did not desire to make any specific motion on the subject, hut he thought Capt. Warner ought to be informed that the House sympathised ' with his case, which might prevent his carrying his in- THE SUN, LONDON. TUESDAY, JUNE 22, Pl4l vention to a foreign country.

For the rest, we refer to the letter of our Irish Mr. Warner was unwilling to communicate the secret ; correspondent, without, as may be supposed, wishing to while Sir W. Parker thought such a. communication was be thought to concur in all his views. necessary, in order to ascertain to what extent the dis covery could be made available. He (Lord J. Russell) could not say whether or not Sir William Parker were right, or what was the nature of the conditions required between the parties. He thought it better that the question should again be raised in the presence of persons who might be able to speak from their own knowledge upon the subject, and that they should not now insist upon the production of any correspondence. He knew of no good which could result from such a course. He certainly thought that some explanation should be given upon the matter which might satisfy the House and the country, and that some further negotia tions should be commenced with Mr. Warner—(Hear) — but he should repeat that he did not think the matter should be pressed upon that occasion. Sir ROBERT INGLIS said he would not trespass upon the attention of the House, but he owed it to Mr. Warner to say that he had seen two letters from an individual, second only as an authority . to the Duke of Wellington, giving a strong opinion in favour of the invention.—(Hear, hear.) After what had fallen from the Noble Lord, he would not recommend the Hon. Gentleman to press his motion. Viscount INGESTRE could not but regret that this subject had received so little attention from her Majes ty's Government. It was neither proper nor decent that none of the Lords of the Admiralty should be present on that occasion.—(Hear, hear.) He had before stated,. and he was still of opinion, that that House was not the proper place for such a discussion, but he regretted that so important an invention should be lost to the coun try, through the apathy of the Government. The Admi ralty had treated the inventor as an enthusiast if not a madman. Perhaps he (Lord Ingestre) would be stigmatised as an imposter, who was bereft of all under standing. Thisinvention demanded the attention of what ever Government might be entrusted with the affairs of the country.—(Hear, hear.) Ile was quite confident that if all the neglect and delay which had taken place on this subject, getting rid of it at one time, and only half listening to it at another, instead of boldly facing it in order to see whether it was worthy of the attention of Government or, not—if that conduct were known throughout the country, he was confident that it would have a very great effect upon the trial of her Ma jesty's Ministers in the appeal which was shortly to be made. He thought that the inventor of this machine had been treated with great neglect, and that he was entitled to the gratitude of the country for the forbearance he had shown with respect to his invention. He thought that enough had been proved to warrant inquiries, which he trusted would take place. The Report having been printed, he did not see why it should not be laid before the House ; and if the Hon. Member for Finsbury per severed in his motion, he should certainly vote with him. Mr. COWPER regretted that the motion had been made, and trusted that the Hon. Member for Finsbury would not persevere in moving for the correspondence. He also thought the report of Lieutenant Webster, not being official, ought not to be produced. Mr. PLUMPTRE thought' that the House and the country would not be satisfied, unless some assurance was given that the benefits of this invention should not be lost to the country. Mr. WAKLEY could assure the House that the only reason for his bringing the subject before it was, that Mr. Warner, whom he did not know, might understand that there was sympathy for him in the, House of Com mons, though there was not at the Admiralty. He was much rejoiced at the expression of feeling which had taken place in the House, and after what the Noble Lord had said, he would withdraw his motion, leaving it to others, in another House of Parliament, to bring the subject forward again. Lord INGESTRE stated that if he had the honour of a seat in the next Parliament, he should feel it his duty to bring the subject under the consideration of the House. After a few observations from Colonel ANSON, the motion was withdrawn. On the motion of Lori J. RUSSELL the Lords' amendments to the Bribery at Elections Bill were agreed to. On the motion of Sir G. CLERK the Lords' amend ments to the Controverted Election Trial Bill were agreed to. The Lords' amendments to the Bourn Drainage Bill were read and agreed to. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL the Lords amendments to the Criminal Law Bill were read and agreed to. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Robert Gazeley was charged with defrauding George Trent of 255., under the following circumstances: — It appeared that the prosecutor went to Smithfield market with a horse for sale, and he met the prisoner there, and he took a fancy to his horse, and pointed to another horse that stood near, and said it belonged to him, and that he would have a " chop" with him, if he would give him 255. to boot, and he agreed to do so, and handed over the amount to the prisoner, who went away ; but when the prosecutor went to take the horse that had been alluded to by the prisoner, he found he had no claim to it, and that the real owner knew nothing of the bargain that had been made. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was Sentenced to three months' imprisonment. William Hends, and James, alias Robert Burtt, were indicted for conspiracy. - Mr. Phillips and Mr. Chambers conducted the prose cution ; Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner Rends, and Mr. Bodkin appeared for Burtt. The conspiracy imputed to the prisoners was that they had fraudulently . combined together to defraud pawnbrokers by pledging watches made up for the pur pose of deception, and on which the names of Webster, Tobias, and other celebrated watchmakers were en graved, so as to further the deception by inducing a belief that they were really made by those parties. The watches were proved to be complete " counterfeits," made only " to sell," and the evidence left very little doubt that the prisoners were quite aware of the value less character of the articles, and of their intention to defraud. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the RE CORDER ordered the prisoners to be confined in Maid stone Gaol for six months. Some other cases that did not, possess any feature of public interest were then disposed of, and the business of the Session terminated about four o'clock. DANISH CLAIMS.. Lord J. RUSSELL appeared at the Bar, and read her Majesty's answer to the address of the House on this subject ; it was to the following effect VICTORIA R. " It must at all times be my most earnest desire to attend to the wishes of the House of Commons, and I shall be ready to give effect to them in this instance, whenever the means shall have been provided by Par liament." • Messengers from the Lords brought down a message informing the House that their Lordships had agreed to several Bills without amendment, and requesting the House to communicate .to their Lordships a copy of the Report of the Select Committee to consider whether it was expedient to invest the Board of Trade with a discr e _ tionary.yower in cases of railway accidents.—Agreed to. The House then Adjourned at a Quarter to Seven o'Clock. FROM THE EVENIN G PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. SPIRIT oftheP --- ÜBL I C JOURNALS. GLOBE.—Whenever a rumour arises, the falsehood and absurdity of which are more than usually glaring, that rumour is sure to find its way instinctively to the office of the Times, and fix in the congenial cranium of the editor. Had Virgil lived in these days, he would certainly have concluded his celebrated description of the gradual progress, extension, and exaggeration of an empty rumour, by fixing Printing-house-square as the terminus where, in the shape of " a thundering lie," it reaches its fullest possible size and attains its most perfect maturity. The falsehood that is conceived in the Carlton, and wafted in a whisper from the knaves of the West to the wise men of the East, no sooner reaches the latter than a bold front is put upon it at once—for there is no " fabric," however " baseless," or base, that may not find a " local habitation" in the office of the Times newspaper. To talk of the process of hatching by steam as a new invention is utterly absurd, when it is remembered to what an extent and for how long a period the steam-press of the Times has been accustomed to hatch ; and, what is more won derful than all, the eggs it has chosen for the pur -1-KM have generally been selected from mares'-nests. It is certainly from a nest of this description that the. Times obtained the egg from which it contrived • hatch on Saturday a paragraph relating to the City of London election, alleging the probability of the retire ment of two of the Liberal candidates. That tl'e Times is, as it declares itself, " fully prepared to hear of such a course being taken," may be true enough ; its ready circulation of false reports proves that it is "fully prepared to hear" and to repeat the grossett absurdities. The reasbn alleged for the probable re tirement of two of the Liberal candidates is quite iA WEEKLY CALENDAR OF OPERA- TIUNS. (From the Gardeners' Chronicle.) The long continuance of dry weather has been ex tremely favourable to the production of insects, for the destruction of which every known means ought to be adopted ; not only to stop their immediate depredations but to prevent their increase. We are convinced that insects in gardens, like weeds, may be rendered com paratively scarce by adopting prompt measures for their extirpation the moment they are detected, as well as preventive ones ; one of the principal of which is clean liness. We have seen wall-trees this season, at several places, dreadfully infested with insects, mildew, and blister blight ; as our own are perfectly clean and healthy, although in a low and cold situation, and as nothing detracts so much from the appearance of a garden as the ravages of insects, particularly on wall-trees, we recommend the adoption of a plan we have practised for several years past, previously to which the trees suf fered every summer as much as any we have seen. To a gallon of lime, a pound of sulphur, and the same quan tity of soft soap, add water sufficient to make it of the consistence of thick whitewash, with which coat the trees all over with a brush, missing no part. As soon as the trees are pruned this may be performed by boys, or when little else can be done ; and during summer, in dry weather, sow lime under the wall-trees, and keep the surface of the ground constantly stirred with the rake ;by these means we seldom have green-fly, and never red-spider, until the season is too far advanced for them to do much harm. 1.-KITCHEN-GARDEN AND ORCHARD. INN-DOOR DEPARTMENT. Pinery—Give the plants regular supplies of water ; fruiters may have manure-water every other time, and the younger plants occasionally. Syringe over-head on fine mornings, or early in the afternoon before the house is shut up, excepting any that may be in bloom ; moisten also with the syringe the surface of the tan-beds every afternoon in dry weather • remove root-suckers as they appear. Young plants will now be growing very fast do not allow their roots to become matted before they are shifted to larger pots. This can be readily ascer tained by turning one out of its pot : we advise them to be potted whenever they seem to require it, without re ference to any stated period at this season. Vinery.—Keep the house containing ripe fruit dry, and give abundance of air. Remove laterals, but not so close as to cause the bottom or main eyes to break. Con-. tinue to thin carefully the berries as they advance, and support the shoulders of the bunches. Give judicious syringings whilst the fruit is in a young state, but cease before it becomes nearly swelled, and avoid wetting the fruit at all times as much as possible. `'°`Melons.—At this warm season the linings are apt to be forgotten ; this should not be, nor coverings entirely dispensed with, as chills are the primary cause of mil dew and canker. In pruning, remove the most robust and the weekest shoots • the intermediate ones are usu ally.the most fruitful. ; inen the fruit is set, prevent it coming in contact with the damp soil by placing a piece of slate or glass between them ; attend to air, and water as before. Cucumbers.—Continue to supply them plentifully with water, and remove superfluous or barren shoots, and bad leaves. If the plants which have been bearing during the spring months begin to decline, they may be pruned back, covered lightly with light rich earth except the points of the shoots, and kept close for a short time ; by this means they will soon return to a vigorous bearing state. Those under hand-lights may be allowed to run out as soon as sufficiently advanced by tilting the glasses on bricks or small pots. OUT-DOOR DEPARTMENT. Attend diligently to destroying weeds ; thin out any advancing crops to . proper distances before they become drawn ; water copiously if necessary, especially cauli flower and salading ; clear off the vegetable soil, heap all decaying crops which cannot be readily dug in ; cut and dry herbs. Asparagus.—Very little should be cut after this time. Celery.—Do not allow the soil in the trenches to be come surface-bound, which it is very liable to do after it has been for some time watered artificially, as has been most probably the case during the dry weather ; loosen the surface, and continue to water when necessary. Cauliflowers.—Protect the flowers from the sun, by breaking down some heart leaves ; transplant if the weather be favourable, choosing a deep rich soil. Cardoons.—A few may be sown for a late crop. Keep those up clear from weeds, and well watered during dry weather. Kidney Beans.—lf not sown last week, sow this : water the drills previously to sowing, if the weather continues dry. Lettuce.—Tie up the Cos kinds for blanching, and plant out successions one foot apart ; keep them well wa tered, especially those designed for immediate use. Love-Apples.—Do not allow the most luxuriant shoots to remain, or any to become crowded. Onions.— Sow a small quantity for drawing young. Peas.—Earth-up, and stick as they advance in growth. Potatoes.—Hoe deeply between the rows, as soon as the plants are well up. Savoys.—Plant out a few early plants, as recommended last week. Turnips.—Sow now a good piece of White Stone ; let the ground be well broken, and the seed trod in lightly; hoe and thin out those advancing. ORCHARD. All wall trees will require constant attention, in stop ping laterals and keeping down insects; use the engine freely to them during dry weather. Summer-pruning should now be commenced; dead or cankered branches must be removed. Be careful not to lay in more summer wood than necessary, for this is a common fault, and in cold autumns beingprevents the young wood from well ripened, which often causes a want of fruit the season after. See that no nails are driven in so close to the fruit as to injure it hereafter. Look over Vines on walls weekly, and remove all superfluous shoots; do not allow the leaves to become so crowded as to prevent the sun penetrating to the fruit ; stop the bearing shoots to one eye above the bunch, and train in the leaders care fully without stopping them. Attend particularly to destroying weeds and insects. IL—FLOWER GARDEN AND SHRUBBERY. IN-DOOR DEPARTMENT. Stove.—Supply liberally with water growing Orchi dacm. Those which have made their growths, or are not growing, should be placed together, to prevent them from receiving too much water ; shade them during sun shine, and only then ; there can be no pretext for ex cluding the light, as is too often done by using coverings for the house not readily removed ; syringe stove-plants over-head morning and evening, during dry hot weather, and give air freely ; propagate any desirable plants of which suitable cuttings can be obtained. Greenhouse.—Give abundance of air night and day, except during cold winds. Heaths should have a par tial shading from violent sunshine ; wherever they may be, take care that they do not stand close together ; if mildew appears among them, the infected parts should be immediately dusted with sulphur, and the plants set apart in an airy situation. This is a good season to pro pagate many kinds of Heaths, but cuttings may be put in at any time when firm young wood can be obtained. Watch that Orange-trees, and other plants out of doors, do not suffer for water, or they will soon lose their co lour ; care must also be taken that it have free egress. All kinds of Cactacem which have done flowering, may be re-potted, placed in a warm moist situation, and have liberal supplies of water. Pits and Frames.—The earliest Geraniums may be pruned down, and reduced to smaller pots, but not until they have broke fresh buds. Attend to young seedlings of every description, and re-pot all plants as required. OUT-DOOR DEPARTMENT. Flower-Garden.—Supply with water all newly planted flowers ; arrange and fix with pegs, in their proper places, the stems of Petunias, Verbenas, and other trail ing plants, and continue last week's directions. Nursery.—Diligently destroy weeds. Remove the clay now from any grafts which were weakly before, and re-tic them with bass. Rub off suckers from Stocks, and continue layering Roses, hard-wooded Evergreens, and other shrubs ; water, weed, and shade seed-beds of young Firs. Forest and Coppice Woods.—Take care that the new sown Oaks in pits do not get smothered by the surround ing herbage ; prune off any rival leaders in young plantations, and a portion of side-shoots, when neces sary ;. clean fences and drains, and build walls.—Joseph Paxton. NOTES FOR SMALL GARDENS. During the continuance of this cold easterly wind, all planting in the flower-garden must be suspended. Those lately put out will not receive so great a check if slightly protected by a mat or branch of a tree stuck in on the windward side ; water must also be given with consider able caution, or many of the plants will suffer so much that they will not recover during the whole summer. Where the leaves of bulbs are quite decayed, they should be removed ; and if the bulbs are Crocuses or Narcissi, they may be suffered to remain a year or two in the ground without being taken up, but never longer. Con tinue to plant out annuals for late blooming. Chrysan themums should now be propagated by cuttings ; any light rich soil suits them ; and by putting three cuttings in a pot and plunging the latter in a slight hot-bed for a week or two, nice dwarf plants are made, which bloom freely in the autumn. Carefully tie up Pinks and Car nations, and, if possible, give the beds or pots a top dressing with manure. Keep the lawn constantly close mown ; nothing keeps down weeds or improves the grass so much. ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTICES. Few gardeners, whether on a large or small scale, but have frequently had to sow over and over again their Cabbages, Bfoccoli, Tut-nips, or Radishes, which are eaten up by the Earthflea-Beetles, Haltica pemorum and allied kinds. They usually appear in hot sunny weather, and the mischief they do is almost incredible, des `roying acres of young Turnips. They are very small brownish beetles, shining brilliantly, and have very thick hind legs, formed for jumping ; when approached they leap to a considerable distance. The larva feed in the interior of the leaf on the parenchyma, and only emerge from it in the perfect state. Many remedies have been tried to get rid of the nuisance, but none have perfec:;ly suc ceeded ; it is recommended to sprinkle the young plants thickly with road-dust and an infusion of wormwood, The best method, however, of preserving the crop, is to use some stimulant, and accelerate as much as possible its growth, by Which means the plants will get their rough leaves before the insects have time to destroy the tender ones. For some soils bone dust has been proved to be an excellent auxiliary, and in some other nitrate of soda has been observed to be useful for two or three years. The latter must be applied with great caution, and chiefly to plants of the Cruciferous order. THE CRISIS AND THE TEETOTALLERS An address to the teetotallers of Ireland mill be puLlislvd Le fore the dissolution, calling on them. as the moral regenera. t o rs of Ireland, by declarations of a ll their different bodies, to oppose themselves to bribery, and, by solemn pledges to their country, to promise to use every effort to discover and expose all attempts atcorruption.--Dublin Pilot. NEW COURT. Charles France, aged 24, and Elizabeth Smith, wore in dicted for stealing eight sheets, ten silver spoons, a pair of sal.- cellars, a bed, two blankets, and a variety of household furni ture, the property of Mary Ann Haldan. Mr. Bodkin was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Payne de fended the prisoners. The evidence was very conclusive, most of the property having been traced and identified. The Jury having, without hesitation, pronounced a verdict of Guilty, they were severally sentenced to seven years trans portation. During the course of the last week, great delays have been occasioned by the non-attendance of Alderman, many of whom it was hinted by a member of the bar, were amusing themselves on electioneering matters, &c. The delay is sometimes too bad, and it is much to be regretted that public business of such an important nature should be neglected by those who ought to set an example, by scrupulous attention to the magisterial duties imposed upon them. 7,, ACCELERATION OF THE DUBLIN MAIL. The London evening mail was conveyed, for the first time, on Tuesday morning, on the Chester and Crewe and the Birkenhead and Chester Railway, and pat on board the Post-office mail steamer, on the Cheshire side of the river, a few minutes after six o'clock. The train which brought the mail did not bring any passengers ; a circumstance of which Lord R. Gros venor complained, on Friday evening, in the House of Commons, his Lordship being then ignorant of the an nouncement from the Directors of the Grand Junc tion Railway Company, that, on and after to-day, passengers as well as the mails will be conveyed on the Chester and Crewe line. We believe that, on Wed nesday morning, the steamer, after having taken on board the London mail, • was detained until the mail bags brought by the morning train from the north were conveyed across the river. These bags are, we understand, brought to this town by the same train which brings the London evening mail ; so that, if the steamer is detained for tbeir arrival, where is the saving of time expected to be gained by conveying the evening mail by the new route ? Of course, if our state ment is correct, either the northern mails must be expe dited from the point whenee they are run upon the rail way on :this side the river, or the steamer from the other side must sail without them, and thus delay letters and papers from the north one day in their arrival in Dublin. From conversation with gentlemen practically acquainted with the small steamers, we learn that the grand subject of complaint with the passengers has been the inconvenience caused by having, at certain times of the tide, to be conveyed to and from the steamers in small boats, while horses and carriages have been de layed for hours in landing and embarkin g .e• This inconvenience arises from the want of a landing stage or slip on the Liverpool side of the Mersey; an in convenience which is not felt on the Cheshire side, where the slips run so far out that steamers can come alongside at any time of the tide. Let the Corporation erect, with out delay, a slip with the same capacity opposite George's Pier, and the Post-office Authorities, there can be little doubt, will restore the mail-boats to this side. Mean while, if the new arrangement has for its object the rapid conveyance of the mail, rather than of passengers, be tween London and Dublin, could not the Post-office people run a special train, consisting of an engine and a carriage, down to Liverpool or Birkenhead? The journey might be accomplished in seven hours, and the steamers, instead of leaving the Mersey . after six, might quit it shortly after four o'clock, and, in average weather, reach Dublin early in the afternoon. That would, indeed, be an acceleration worth boasting of, and give great satisfac tion to all Ireland.—Liverpool Albion. SINGULAR APPEARANCE OF THE RIVER. —Yesterday morning between eleven and twelve o'clock a very ludicrous and rather painful sight presented itself on the river between Westminster and Blackfriars bridges. From the prevalence of a very strong westerly wind the tide ebbed with unusual strength, and near Waterloo-bridge the river was almost ford able. Many of the large Woolwich steamers, freighted with holiday folks anxious to witness the launch of the Trafalgar, were unable to get away at all, and those who did had to bring up before reaching Waterloo bridge. Below this bridge three of the large red funnel steamers were aground—one off the square shot tower on the Surrey shore, and two on the Middlesex side. Some of the small boats were no better off. The Twilight was aground, literally crammed with passengers, at the foot of Waterloo -bridge stairs. A Richmond steam er a l so go t a shore at the same time! It was a most overloaded ; it was sa id t h a t some of them intended to pro painful sight to witness the small boats Fo seed to Woolwich: if so, such perilling of human life cannot be too strongly reprehended. A Company is in the course of formation at Hull for the establishment of a trade with the South Sea Islands. • If the world is to be held together by lies; the old, which are already current, are j ust as good as the Len • uow. 7, -- ing. SIR ROBERT PEEL ON THE CLOSE CONNECTION BETWEEN AGRICUL- TURK AND MANUFACTURES. We find, in the 29th volume of Hansard's Parlia mentary Debates, which is quite a text-book for the opinions expressed by statesmen, past and present, on the questions debated in Parliament, the following sei.— sible and statesmanlike speech delivered by Sir Robert Peel when the Corn-law of 1815 was under discussion in the House of Commons : " Sir Robert Peel was anxious to correct a mistake that seemed to prevail in the House, that the interests • of the landholder and of the manufacturer were con flicting and incompatible. They were, in the view of enlightened policy, the same ; and the success or ruin of the one, was the success or ruin of the other ; inasmuch as the country generally had been enriched by the sale of our manufactures, the landholders had received their share of the wealth and advantages. It had been the wise policy of former Governments to keep the price of the chief article of subsistence as low as possible ; upon this principle Mr. Pitt had acted with success, but the system was now about to be changed. It was undoubtedly true that the rent of the land would be diminished by the unlimited importation of corn ; but if the resolutions upon the table passed in their present shape, the manufactures of the towns would be destroyed, and the land must consequently be depreciated ; corn might be grown, but paupers would be the only customers for it. It was, in truth, impossible to separate the two interests. The value of land within memory had increased in some places threefold ; the owners had derived their benefit from the political state of things, and now they must suffer the depreciation pro duced by an alteration in that political state. With respect to our manufacturers, it was allowed, that during the war our triumphant situation on the sea had enabled us to force a trade without rivals; but now we were in open competition, it would be madness in us to throw fresh ob stacles in the way of those who had so many to contend against. In his opinion, it might be fairly argued, that the manufacturer had been the great benefactor of the landed interest. He did not say that his design was to serve the landowner. That had been the effect of the flourishing state of our manufactures, and in the difficul ties now to be encountered the landlord ought to par ticipate. By the measures now upon the table the wise system pursued for years was about to be subverted, and the labourers prevented from putting the real wealth of the country into that marketable shape by which this country had hitherto been made the envy of surrounding nations." " What !" we think we hear some of our readers ex claim, " What ! did Sir Robert Peel make such a speech as this ? How, in the interval between 1815 and 1841, his opinions on the Corn-law must have changed !" Yes, Sir Robert Peel did make the above speech ; but it was Peel the first, not Peel the second ; it was Peel the father, and not Peel the son. He had not forgot " the pit whence he was dug, nor the rock whence ha was hewn." Manufactures had made him what he was ; aild while be was willing to recognise and maintain the impollance of agriculture, he was too sensible of the benefits which p-a.de and commerce had conferred on the land ; too well acqual3- ted, in short, with the true interests of the country, to allow the landed few to sacrifice the manufacturing many by establishing a monopoly in the supply of the people's food. Not so Peel the son. He, for party purposes, supports the landed at the cost, probably by the ruin, of the manufacturing interest.—Liverpool Albion. PICTURE WOVE IN SlLK.—This picture, when completed, will be, perhaps, the most extraordinary production of the art of weaving ever accomplished. It is intended to be presented to her Majesty. The design, which has met with the approbation of several of the Ministers, is a work of very great merit. The de signer is a young, and, it is believed, self-taught English artist of the name of Voyer, who is principally employed in making patterns for paper-hangers and calico-printers. The object that the Spitalfields Broad Silk Weavers' As sociation have in view is to show to the world that our weavers are equal, if not superior, to those of Lyons, who have lately produced a very masterly specimen of their art. Mr. Voyer's drawing, which has never been correctly described, is in Indian ink, and the picture, when completed, will be in a self colour, resembling a meizotinto engraving. The design is what is called aerial. The foreground (if there can be a ground to an aerial picture) is occupied by Mars and Neptune, with two bee-hives in the centre. On the side of Mars, there are medallions of Wellington, _Abercrombie, Moore, Wolfe, &c.; on that of Neptune, Nelson, Coßingwood, Jervis, Howe, &c., all of which are good likenesses. In the middle distance there is a portrait of the Queen sitting ; by her side stands the Prince Albert, one hand resting on a marble slab, the other holding a sword. On the left of this group is a figure of Time, with his scythe, but between him and the Royal pair a guardian angel intervenes. In the centre a dove is seen descending upon the Queen and her consort. In the extreme distance Windsor Castle is seen, or rather indicated, on the sides of which are groups of aerial beings, intended to repre sent Honour and Harmony. The picture is cut off from the border by lines. The border itself is a brocade in the gorgeous style and colours of Louis XIV. It consists principally of foliage, interspersed with bouquets of flowers in all colours. In the centre of one side are seen ..-. - the Royal arms of England, and on the other the insignia of the order of the Garter. The picture will be sixteen feet long. The expense in manufacturing this wonderful production of the loom will amount to some thousand pounds. The Royal Assent was given yesterday by com mission to the Church of England Life and Fire As surance Trust and Annuity Company's Bill, and 150 more Private Bills. Mr. Robert Stanhope Wilkes, of 16 and 17, Craven-street, Strand, has offered himself to the electors of Westminster as a candidate on the. Radical interest. SIR ROBERT PEEL AND THE NON-INTRU SIONISTS.—We have just learned, on what we consider good authority, that the Non-Intrusionists have expe rienced a great mortification in the reception which Mr. Dunlop, their accredited delegate, met with a few days ago, at an interview with Sir Robert Peel. The Hon. I3aronet, greatly to his credit and that of his party, stated, in the most decided terms, that he would do nothing for the Church until they first obeyed the law, and rescinded all their illegal proceedings regarding the enactment of the Veto regulations, and the deposi tion of the Strathbogie Ministers. Mr. Dunlop an swered, that Parliament might do whatever they pleased with their endowments, but that the Church would never retrace their steps, whatever might be the consequences ; and thus the interview terminated.—Scottish Pilot. THE COUNTY.—Addresses from Lord and Col. Lowther were issued on Thursday last, to the Electors of the County of Westmorland. They are exceedingly savage productions, and speak of the present Government in language which has not hitherto proceeded from the same quarter. Ten years' absence from power has made these nabobs rusty ; but the country will keep them wait ing in spite of their longings for place. The best efforts of the Liberal interests in the country will, we have every reason to hope, be directed to the removal of these mis representatives shortly. It will be a severe struggle when ever it takes place ; but truth is great and must prevail. _ _ _ —Kendal Mercury. DIRECTIONS FOR STUDYING VOYAGES AND TRAVELS.-In reading books of travels for myself, 1 have always desired to be placed by the author, as much as possible, in his own situation ; to be brought, in short, by his descrip tions, as nearly as can be, to the condition of being his travel ling companion ; to see things in the same order of succession as he himself saw them ; to be made acquainted with the mi nuter incidents of his life, as well with the more prominent ; to become familiar with the inconveniences to which he was subjected, as well as with the pleasures he enjoyed; to partake of hisindignation at the wrong. as fully as with his admiration of the right ; to be, in short, continually present with him in all his vicissitudes, and to sympathize with him in all his joys and sorrows, by whatever cause produced. For this reason, I have always preferred the form of the actual diary, in which the in cidents and feelings are transferred to paper while fresh and new.—Buekingham's America. THE LANCASHIRE FACTORIES.—Of the 1,123 cotton manufactories in 1839, 820 were in Salford-hun dred ; 163 in Blackburn ; 71 in West Derby ; 39 in Arnoun derness ; 16 in Leyland; and 14 in Lonsdale, exclusive of 62 unoccupied mills. The number of persons employed in the cotton trade of the county in 1835, was 122,991 ; in 1838 and 1839, 152,150, of whom 67,784 were young persons, betwixt the ages of 13 and 18. About fourth-fifths of the cotton trade of the kingdom centres in Lancashire ; and in 1825 the capital vested in buildings and machinery in tat district was estimated at 8,000,0001. The declared value of cotton goods exported in 1814, was 17,241,884/., and twist and yarns, 1814, 2,791,2471., in 1838, the value of cotton goods exported was 16,700,9131. ; and of twist and yarn, 7,431,844. In 1838 and 1839, the woollen manufactories in the county were 96 ; number of hands 4,957, of whom 1,727 were young persons : silk manufactories, 31; hands, 5,591, of whom 2,143 were young persons : flax concerns, 16 ; hands, 2,881, of whom 1,392 were young persons; worsted, 12; hands, 924, of whom 418 wore young persons. The total number of manufactories was 1,278, principally in Salford and Blackburn hundreds ; total hands employed, 166,493, of whom 63,364 were young persons from 13 to 18. The number of unoccupied mills was 192 ; and of mills from which the returns were incomplete, 10. The number of calico printing works is about 75 ; bleach-works, 50; hat-manufactories, 80; collieries, 330. In 31 of the parishe's there are cotton and other mills ; in 16 cotton-weaving prevails ; arid in 21 there are no manufactures. The quantity of yarn spun daily in cotton-mills in Lancashi•e by steam, is as much as would have been spun with the distaff and spindle by 38,000,000 persons. The yearly consumption of coal by all the steam-engines in the country is about 8,000,000 tons. Chartists, be assured of this fact, that violence ever has defeated, and ever will defeat, its own ends, Your physical-force confederates have driven away many who would otherwise have joined your ranks ; wise poli ticians look for relief to the pen, not the bludgeon ; to the understandings of men, not to their passions ; the reign of terror was followed by the dominion of anar c. chy, which proved the stepping-stone to despotism. Unite then, heart and hand, with the enemies of monopoly, albeit they are merely the enemies of commercial monopoly. All monopolies hang together ; destroy one, and you weaken the whole chain by snapping one of its links. Toryism or Conser vatism is now strong through the coalition of several classes, having a joint interest in selling dear commodi ties to the people ; destroy their money market, and be assured the political partnership will be speedily dis solved. Then, Chartists, you may prosecute organic changes with success ; at present you are prematurely in the field ; there is a wide gulf yawning between your hopes and realization ; let the free traders build a bridge across the gulf, and do you aid them in its con struction ; then you may cross over in safety, and scale the fortress of corruption in conjunction with other sec tions of liberals.—JONATHAN DUNCAN, Manchester.— Manchester Times.

Lord Plunkett, in reply to this communion i 051; said he had no objection to resign in favour of old barrister qualified for the high post, but that he w; ) . not be instrumental in having "a Sco.t chman or Engi,j man appointed.
