MORNING _EDITiON IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN'T. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 14. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'Clocl:. . Messorgers from the Commons brought up several which were severally read a first time. Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition from Wigan, complaining that the Corn-law' question had been intro duced merely for the sake of turning the tide of popular opinion in favour of her Majesty's Ministers, and .praying the House to withhold its confidence from. the Government. The House of 'lndustry (Ireland) Bill was read a se cond - -• The litho Composition (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Administration of Justice Bill was real a third and passed. The Insolvent Debtors (Ireland) was read a second time. The Wide-streets Dublin Bill was read a second time and passed. A number of other Bills were forwarded a stage. BILLS OF EXCHANGE CONTINUANCE BILL. The Earl of CLARENDON moved the second read ing of the Bills of Exchange Continuance Bill. ord KENYON said that the present Bill would not exri:e until 1843; he did not therefore think this step necessary. After - r. few words from the Earl of WICKLOW and Lord WYNFORD, the Bill was read a first end second time, and passed through Committee, read a third time and passed, the standing Orders of the Day having been suspeotled to allow it to pass through these stage§. The Duke of ARGYLL said he should, early in the next Session, bring in a Bill cu the subject of Church . leasrenage in Scotland. In answer to a question from Lord WHANCV.FFE, Earl TITZW/LIsIAM said that he. thought it would be inconvenient to the House to being his motion on to morrow. lie should, therefore, postpone it ; but he could not tell on what day he should be able to bring it forward. The Noble Earl then presented petitions from Middlesex and other places in favour of the- measures proposel hy her Majesty's Government, the petitioners stating that they attributed (he present depression in trade to the state of the import duties. A fter a few words from Earl Stanhope, Lord Belle, toil Lord Wharneliffe. Earl FITZWILLIAM said he wished to call the at tcntioa of their Lordships to a fact which perh4s had sems to their knowledge, in reference to the present sion of trade. He would «sly inention the counties eeefferd:lll:c and Salop, in svhieli not less than sixty furnaces here lately been put out of blest. Lord ASHBURTON said that so feu', from'the iron trade being in a depresSed state, it was now and had been for a long time, one of the principal trades of the - country. He (Lord Ashburton) had heard of indivi duals who from the iron trade were receiving 60, 70, and e0;0001. a-year.--(Hear, hear.) How, then, could the Noble Earl say, that the present Corn-laws affected and injured the iron trade ? If they they made any enactment whereby to damage that trade, the persons who were dependent on that trade would in a few years petition for the purpose of breaking clown other branches of the industry of the country. Earl PITZWILLIAM said that he had never stated that the distress of eke iron trade wds caused by the Corn-laws: lie had never said any such thing, nor did the petitioners say so. What they said was that trade' generally was injured by the Corn-laws, and that the iron trade, as one, must be injured to a certain degree by the operation of these laws. They stated that a system of trade !enerally restricted with regard to imports was generally injurious to trade with regard to exports. Led lIATHERTON presented a petition from West IlroeoAch, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws ; ilso a pedtion from the females of West Bromwich to the same effect. SUNDAY TRAFFIC ON CANALS. The cosr.r. Loan said he had been desired Icy the Committee' appointed for the purpose of inquiry into the expediency of restricting traffic on canals on Sundeesetheoughout the kingdom, to report to their Lardsliip4 the evidence they had taken on the su bj ect . The Cokimittee had obtained evidence from paeties capable of giving information relative to the whole line of canals from the Thames to the Mersey ; they had examined the proprietors of those canals, and the car riers thereon, and they had come to the unanimous opinion from that evidence, that the subject required the interference of Parliament. The Marquis of NORMANBY said he had read the e:idencc, and he thought a sufficient case had been reads out to call for some enactment in the next Ses sion of Parliament. The Noble Marquis presented a petition, from the parish of Newington, in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws. Also a petition, praying for a better observance of the Sabbath. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL Oa the motion of the Marquis of NORMANBY, tEe House resolved itself into Committee on the'Punishment of Desalt Bill. On clause 2 being read, Lord WYNFORD moved as an amendment that the clause be exp - auged. He thought that for such enor mous crimes as arson, the extreme punishment should still remain in force. Lord BROUGHAM said that no one doubted the encr may of the offence; but if for those offences, they enac red punishments which did not carry the public feelings with them, convictions became seldom and more difficult, which calculated to increase the offence. After a few words from the Marquis of Westmeath, the Marquis of Norrnanby, and Lord Wynford, the amendment was negatived. The clause was then put and carried. On clause 3 being read, The Marquis of WESTMEATH said he objected to that part of it which removed the crime of rape from the list of capital ofS'ences. If their Lordships agreed to ex tend that portion of the clause to England which it ap pcare.l. to hira would be an etc of eravated tirar. to -Is,, :se before they cr,:tded it to J,-elal .d. He fon e from authentic return.-, that t!v nu eller of as satltS upon females with inte , .lt to ci , ma - C - a capital off'enoe, which occurred in England i:, 1840 1-2 114 69. (S , Lveral Noble Lerds, " 1 .1)f rt:pc ? et' mpe ?'') °Crape, or intent to commit en assault—(oh, oh)---out of a population of fourteen millions, and the number in Ire land was 173 out of eight millions. He moved that cases - of rape should be omitted from the operation of the clause. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL considered that it would be a reflectiop on the character of the House to pass such a clause. The Marquis of NORMANBY believed that the effect of removing capital punishment for the commission of these offences would be materially to lessen its amount. That had been found to be the case where capital pu nishment had been abolished, and that was the object of the Government in proposing the present clause.. Lord ABINGER said he had been for a long time cf opinion that our Criminal Code had been too san guinary, and he rejoiced in any attempt to mitigate its severity. In his opinion the certainty of punishment would tend to prevent the crime more than the law as it at present stood, where every one calculated upon his chance of escape, which was in too many ins Lances realised. The Earl of WINCHILSEA supported the amend ment. The 'Earl of WICKLOW could not support the clause, for it, if carried, would abolish the punishment , af death in even the most aggravated cases. Lord BROUGHAM warmly supported. the clause, on the ground that the abolition of the punishment of death for the crimes included in it, would tend greatly to dimi nish the-number of offences by making some punishment certain ; and, life not being at stake, juri es wou ld unhe sitatingly perfuem their duty. He wished to see the law effectual, and therefore he supported the Bill. Lord W NFORD thought the House would do well to leave the law as it now stood with respect to the crimes enumerated in the clause. He would therefore support the amendment for striking out the clause. The LORD CHANCELLOR defended the principle of the Bill, which was intended to secure that justice should be done, and crime prevented. Nothing cou ld b e more true than that it was the certainty of punishment, and not its severity, that prevented crime. The Earl of HADDINGTON had come down to the House with a strong inclination in his mind to vote for the omission of the clause named, but from what. he had heard in that House from those so well acquain ted with the subject, he would now beg his NOble Friend to with draw his amendment. He would also hope that the third reading of the Bill would be postponed till Thurs day or Friday, so that words might be introduced to re tain the capioil punishment in very aggravated cases. The Marquis of WESTMEATH replied, and with drew his' amendment in order to support that of the Noble Earl below (the Earl of Winchilsea) for the re jection of the whole clause. - The Earl of CHICHESTER supported the clause as it stood, for if they excepted any one crime from. the pu nishment of death, they would only give the counsel for the prisoner an additional topic for his appeal to the hu mane feelings of the jury, and render a conviction almost impossible. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. The House divided, when there appeared- 1 - For the clause Against it -Majority for the clause —4 The Bill then went through Committee, and. was or dered to ha read a third time on Thursday. The e\larquis of WESTMEATH wished to ask if there would be a n y provision rr. ade in th e clause for a private assault ? The Marquis of NORMANBY said there would not. Their Lordships then adjourned o'Clock. at a Quarter to Eight not dc?pr, era HousE OF COMMONS June 14. The SPEA sEn took the Chair at the usual hour. The Abing,loui Glebe Estate Bill and Lord Glamis' Awe were read a second time and ordered to be committed. The South Metropolitan Gas Bili, Lark la's Divorce Biil, and Goring's Divorce Bill were read a thifd time and passed.

ST. JOHN'S HOSPITAL (WINCHESTER) ESTATE . BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM said he had intended to move that the Report' of the Committee on this Bill should be hro . ught 'up to-day; but, in consequence of unexpected opposition to it, he should move it as an Order of the liav to-morrow. LE2‘DEIZ said if the Right Hon. Baronet did so he should move as an amendment that the Bill be re committed. The SPEAKER said it was not competent to the lion. Member to move that the Bill be recommitted, as the Report Wllfi not yet brought up. Ater some further conversation Mr. LEADER moved that the Report should be brought up that day fortnight. Sir - J. GRAHAM said that the object of the Hon. Gentleman was now apparent; it was to get rid of the Bill without discussion. Mr. LEADER said he was perfectly willing to discuss it now, and the facts of the case were briefly these. The estate in question was situated in Wiltshire, and adjoined the estate of Sir Edmund Antrobus, it consisted of about 500 acres, and had been held by a family named Blatah for the last 100 years, under a l ease, rene.wable for ever from a charitable corporation :,t Wi•ichef;ter. They, of course, considered such an ejcenpatiim as tantamount to a free hold, and on the faith of the constant renewal of this lease, they had expended v: - ..wards of 10,000/. on the im provement of the cf.:ate. Some years ago the estate got into Chancery. am. tlr. tenants were then told that if the estate should eve': be sold they should have the refusal of the property. It aplaeareal. however, that Sir E. Antrobus had entered into negotiations with the Trustees for an - change of this estate for some estate of his iniklamn-: shire. These tenants had had no notice ofqijis Bill which was 6o carr y th at negot i at i on i nto effect, and there fore he elljtcted to the Bill on the ground of its injus tice : he also objected to it on the ground of form, for when the Biatch family had applied to the Clerk of the House of Lords they had been informed that they need take no steps as the Bill could not pass during the pre sent Session : and he further objected to it on the ground of its being against the interest of the charity—for if charitable estates were disposed of by private contract instead of by public competition, a door would be opened or groPA jobbing. Sir 4. GitALLAM saldithe Hon. Gentleman, as a spe cimen of his accuracy, had called this estate Church property, whoa it was, in reality, a charitable trttst. The lon. Member had said that there was a good deal of jobbing in this matter. Now, what were the facts ? The estate had been in Chancery upwards of 30 years ; and e.ei far from its not having been controlled by any supe rior power,,. every stop which had bean taken with re spect to,it had been determined upon in the Master's office, 1 - vith - the direct sanction of the Lord Chancel lor. It was true that for a number of years it was held under a beneficial lease, but for the last fourteen years-that lease had. expired, and the estate had been. held subject to the rules which governed an occupation front yem• to year. The contract was of this nature, under an order from the Lord Chancellor, and with a view to the interest of the Charity, the oiler of an ex change made by Sir Edmund Antrobus was accepted ; and 1,800/. more than the value of the estate was realized. The Bill was introduced into the _House of Lords, under the direct sanction of the Lord Chan cellor, and recommended by him to the adoption of the two Houses. Under these circumstances he could not but deprecate this attempt to put an end to the Bill in this, summary manner, and he would take the sense 'of :he House on th 4 subject. Mr. LABVCIIERE said that it would be a most unusual course to divide in the present stage of the Bill. tie therefore felt bound to vote against his Hon. Friend, but in doing so he begged to be understood as expressing no opinion on the merits of the question. Mr. LEADER, after a few observations, withdrew his amendment, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. Mr:LOCH, before the public business commenced, wished to put a question to his Right Hon. Friend, the President of theßoard of Trade. As it was nowgenerally understood that a disiolution would take place, he wished to know what, course he intended to pursue with respect to the private business that might be got through. • Mr. LABOUCHERE said, that if he held the situa tion in the next Session which he did in the present, he should certainly adopt the precedent with respect to the private business which had been followed in 1831. He did not believe there was any great amount of pri vate business in that position ; butlwhere parties had ex pended money, and that as these private Bills had ad vanced to a certain, state; they ought to be placed in the Same position in a new Parliament. Ile trusted it would be the business of the new Parliament to relieve so ma nifest an inconvenience and injustice. Sir R. PEEL presented a petition from the Arch deacon and clergy of the diocese of Norwich, praying that some provision would be made for the re pair of the edifice of the church with as little in convenience as possible to all their fellow Christians ; also a petition f rom t h e Rev. Herbert Smith, chaplai n 6f the New Forest Union Workhouse 'praying that in the ad ministration of the new Poor-law distinction might be made between the deserving and the undeserving poor. Also petitions from Wallingford, Berks, and several places in Staffordshire, in favour of the present Corn -laws. He had been entrusted with petitions from parties, of whom he had no local knowledge, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws. • The petitions were from several parishes in Lancashire. Mr. BARRONpursentod petitions from the shipowners of Waterford, against any alteration of the Timber Duties. Colonel RUSHBROOK presented three petitions against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Mr. PATTISON presented fourteen petitions from Bloomsbury and other districts of the metropolis, praying for repeal of the Corn-laws: Mr. HAWES Piesiinted a petition from Camberwell, signed by 4,000 persons, to the same effect. The Report on the Ecclesiastical Commissioners Bill was received. • - - THE APPROPRIATION BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having Pries' onol on B up ll, thallepart-of the-Co mm i ttee on the Appro- Mr. HUME said. that he would take that opportunity of ollering to the •}lvitse some observations upon an assertion which h e had trade on a former evening, to the" effect that i n the present - state of our legislation the agricultural interest paid but atld a very sma ll portiontc ab heencoulnettiryt,hein t tha le t yy th a e l i a .) r r g o e te r c s t u iv m taxes e d of ut t i h es e thtaexyees of the upon the com mun i ty than all the o paid to th e S tate. His assertions w ere not of that vague nature which the Right Hon. - Gentlemen t h e Megber fur Cambridge supposed. He (Mr. H ume ) considered e landed prietors of -England, as compared with those soo opthreor countries, to be peculi ar ly f avoured and free 'froffi any thing like heavy burd ens . I n France the landed prietary paid nearly 40 pe r cent , o f the entire revenue of the country. - He made.that assertion upon the authority of a statement of the F renc h C hancellor of the Exchequer which appeared' to him (Mr. Hume) unan swerable. In Belgunn and Holland, the land -tax amounted to from twenty-two to twenty-five per cent. upon, the entire revenue of those States. In fact, England was now much in the same situation as France in the year 1789.. At that ti me , the Frervii nobility were exempt from taxation, while the whole re venue was levied upon the working classes. He re peated that in an indirect way the people of England now pay, a 3 the people of France then did, the entire revenue of the country, inasmuch as the protecting laws more than compensated the aristocracy fbr any taxes which they paid. They enjoyed in addi tion alarge portion of the twenty millions paid to the army and navy ; and the journals of the House proved that every possible burthen 'bearing on the land of the country had been removed by Acts of Parliament. He had in his hand a list of taxes formerly levied on the whole: community, but which, since 1816, had been gradually taken off the land while they were suffered to remain on the community at large. Taxes on husbandry, agricultural servan ti,horscs, and so forth had been repealed, and Wore the house-tax was removed. The statement in hTs hand showed that 130,000 farmhouses were ex empt from all taxes whatever, while taxe: on other hotises were continued. The paper he had in his hand showed that there was no less than 983,0001. annual taxation which ;vas formerly borne by the land, and which it did not now pay, but which other portions of the community did pay.— (Hear, hear.) So that it was an attempt to delmle the community to say that they were taxe6 which they_boro, iuit which- the community did not bear. lie would refer to the evidence before the Committee in 1825, on the distress which existed at that time in the agricultural districts ; and he thought he THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 141. could satisfy the House how completely the landed pro prietors in both Houses had passed laws to favour property ; and he would tell the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, that when he proposed to give Bs. protection . to the landed pro prietor for every quarter of wheat, that he was ins ' posing a tax of the most onerous nature, and one which the landowners ' were not entitled to:— (Hear, hear.) In 1825, John Rock, who rented from 200 to 300 acres of land, told the Committee that there was no tax which bore heavily upon the farmer but the malt tax and the assessed taxes ; ' and Henry Moreton, another farmer, told them that his assessed taxes were very small, not being 101. on all his • lands, He (Mr. Hume) agreed with the Hon. Gentleman that if the landowners Were burdened with any tax that. other classes -of the community were not subject to, pro tection should be afforded to them to that extent, but he saw that they were not, while up to the present time upwards of 20,000,0001. had been repealed for the benefit. of agriculture. He would proceed to state some of the burdens to which personal property was subject, but from which landed property was exempt. In 1798 Mr. Pitt had brought in two Bills, the one for raising a revenue from the descent of landed property; the other for raising a revenue from the descent of personal property. The latter Bill passed into a law, the former one was rejected on the third reading, and up to the present h o u r p erso n a l pro perty had continued liable to the laze ' Since the Act had pas s ed, pe rsona l property had paid 60,180,000/. to That tax, while landed property was en tirely exempt from hay such charge. Now this relief from direct taxation was a point which Hon. Gentlemen who wished to continue to tax the food of the commu nity ought fairly to cbnsider.—(Hear, hear.) Then besides this relief from direct taxation, the landed interest had had, through - the weakness of the Mi nistry in yielding to the country gentlemen, upwards of 80,000!. annually paid to them in aid of county rates ; from this source they had received alto gether nearly half a million. Besides this, the landed proprietors had, during the lasi • four years, received every year, in consequence of the rise in the price of food and corn, a tax exceeding 50 millions sterling, which Was equal to the whole amount paid -towards the Wants of the State. It was useless to'tieny that the landed interest received fifty millions 'per annum : for the taxes on food.' There were-four different celculations in the report of the import duties, which prove the fact. From Mr. M`Gregor's evidence it appeared that fresh meat and animal food was prohibited, by which. animal food in England - was raised to double the price which it was in any other country ; and in the same proportion as that increase was the profit of the landed proprietors increased. The witness was asked what was the average price of articles used for food on the Continent generally ? and he replied that the average for the last twenty years would be found to range from 40 to 80 per cent. Hon. Gen tlemen would see from this statement that the estimate which he had given was extremely low. He considered that it was impossible for the House longer to persist in maintaining such a state of things, when .• they saw the misery and distress existing at this moment in every part' of the country. He had state ments.from Birmingham, Bolton, and other places, which he would submit to the - House to-morrow, when he in tended to enter into the subject .at much greater length. Before they persisted in refusing to admit an amelioration, he begged them to understand what were likely -to be the consequences, and not to throw away the examples - which history furnished of countries driven to desperation by famine and want. These were the grounds upon which he considered they had been defrauded by the means with which the Right Hon. Gentleman had interposed his question of want of confidence. If he had not introduced that mo tion, they would have had the question of the Corn-laws properly discussed. If . the Right Hon. Gentleman had been candid, as he (Mr. Hume) expected he would have been, he would have stated the course he intended to pursue with respect to the Corn-laws. Mr. G. PALMER thought that it was not only the height of impropriety to delude the people on a question like the present, but that it was wicked in the extreme ; and the statement of the Hon. Gentleman that the landed interest was nut taxed was calculated to make such an , impression. The Report was then received. MILITIA PAY BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up the Report of the Committee on the Militia Pay Bill. The amendments were agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be engroSsed: COURT OF CHANCERY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the first reading of the Administration of Justice (Court of Chancery) Bill. The Bill was ~read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. DEBTS OF PARISHES BILL. Sir E. KNATCHBULL moved the. Order of the Day for the adjourned debate or. the Debts of Parishes Bill for the purpose of having it discharged. The Hon. Member was understood to complain of having met with opposition in proceeding with the Bill. Mr. BENJAMIN WOOD said he objected to the Bill, as it provided for the payment of certain debts—one upwards of seven years, the amount and number of which were not specified. He was desirous to ascertain what was the real object of the Bill. He wondered how the Hon. Baronet could say that he had met with unrea sonable opposition. Ile (Mr. B. Wood) was glad that the Hon. Gentleman meant to withdraw the Bill, as next Session he trusted such information would be laid before the House as would enable it to legislate on the subject. Mr. WARBURTON said. as far as he was concerned he had no objection whatever to the Bill going through another stage. He-was not responsible fpr the Bill not going through another stage. It would be most un reasonable-to pass the Bill at once, involving as it did, pFlsh property to an enormous amount, without in stituting a full inquiry into the circumstances con nected with the subject. The Hon. Member then in stanced the case of a parish in the metropolis which foyty years ago borrowed a sum of money for the repair of a chtirch, agreeing to pay 12 per cent. .interest on the sum, and said it was most unreasonable that parishes at the present time should be answerable for such contracts. He hoped the returns which his Hon. Friend had moved for would procure the requisite information whenever the subject came again under the consideration of the House.—The Bill was then with drawn Lord HOWICK thought it would be very inconvenient to compel a Chairman to preside permanently. The alteration now proposed was consiatmt with the previous part of the Bill, and he thought they should endeavour to obtair, a voluntary Chairman. Theexperience he had had con firmed the opinion he had first stated that the Committee should have the benefit of professional assistance. lii believed the plan of having assessors out of the House, and for this labour, was the plan they, must eventually adopt. Sir H. PEEL proposed an amendment to the ir:;cl clause. He trusted the Ho' se would express its opinion strongly in favour of the proviso. The balance was in favour of an alteration in the law. Lord J. RUSSELL approved of the amendment. Th Right Hon. Baronet acted judiciously in proposing it. Lord MAHON supported the amendment. Mr. WYNN supported the amencimmt of the Righ! Hon. Baronet the Member fur Taanworth. ~Ifter a few observations froznisir.a:BULLEß, the, proviso was agreed to, as were clauses 44 and 45. The remaiiiing clauses of the Bill were then cgr.ed to, the Report was received, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Winterbourne Parish Division Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Register of Voters Bill was read a second time. The House then went into Committee on the Bill, and was proceeding with the consideration of the clauses, when Upon the motion of Mr. WALTER, the House• was counted, and then adjourned, there being but 29 Mem bers present. LORD STANLEY AND MR. HANDLEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir—Since 1 requested your insertion of ray eorrespon• deuce with Lord Stanley, I have discovered the , original letter which passed between Lord George Bentinck and myself, in February, 1835, and which I have his Lordship's permission to publish. I avail myself o f i : , fi rst l y , be cause I have " the satisfaction of finding that it corro borates my recollection in every partiuu!ar ; and se condly, because Lord Stanley's rei.ly to mi letter of th,- 6th June, while it admits " that my nu.m ry - is much mo e likely to be accurate than his as to wh; ther the' occaion of my attendance at his Lordship's house was previous or subse quent to the vote which I gave in favour of Jr.A Manners Sutton,"•still implies that I sought that interview, and that he never invited the attendance of any one at hit house. I leaVe Lord George Benbuck's letter to speak for itself as to these points, only remarking that the election of Mr. Aber• cri..mby tosk,place on Thursday the 19. h, while the widrc s wars nut moved till Tuesday tt:e 24th February, the day afttr the date of Lord G. Bentinck's letter. lily reply, the draft of which I found with the above letter, will he.t show how far the reason of my attendance at Lord Stanley's was 't not liking to give an absolute refusal to sup port Sir PobertPeel." Begging the favour of S-ou to insert this communication, if am, Sir, your:obedient, humble servant. 30, Pall-mail, June 12. HENRY HANDLEY. LORD GEORGE BENTINCE TO MP.. HANDLEY. (Private ) My dear Sir,—Relieving you to be one of that chosen and patriotic band which takes its stand between the two extremes of party upon the ground of safe but searching Reform, giving no confidence to the present Administration,"but at the same time honestly resolved to give a fair trial to the 111i.isters of the King'a choice—Lord Stan'ey has asked me to see you, or to write to you, with the view to inquire whether you could make it convenient to meet the moderate Whig party to• morrow afternoon, at his house, No. 5, Carlton-gardens, im mcdiate•ly after the delivery of the King's speech. We reckon that we number about too cc three and forty, and Lord Stanley is anxious to have the assistance, advice, and opinions of all moderate and temperate Reformers as to the course they think it advisable to pursue generally at this eventful moment, and, firstly, in respect to the address in an swer to the King's speech, Stanley was he.itating whether to write t) you himself or not ; but fearing lest you might think it presuming in him to to so, he requested me, as an old acquainta.ice, to call upon you, and ask you whether you had any objection to meet the juste milieu party at his house, to-morrow, at three o'clock. I did call first at your old quarters, No. 16, Suffolk• street, and afterwards at the University Club; but failing to meet with you, 1 write you this note. Always very truly yours, G. BEN TIN Mi. H. Handley, Esq., M.P., University Club, Suffolk -street. Harcourt House, Feb. 2:3, 1835. SIR. HANDLEY TO LORD GEORGE BENTINCK, Dear Lord George—l found yours on my return to town at a late hour last night. You only do me justice in the belief that I will not lepd myself to any extreme party purposes, but I think it right to acquaint you that my feelings of distrust towards the present Administration are such, that, if called upon for a vote on an amendment to the address, expressive of ray want of confidence in them, I have made np my mind to give ' it. With this determination I cannot but feel that my attendance at Lord Stanley's to day would he useless, if not unfair , but I may be permitted to ad I, that in the present crisis, Lurd Stanley is a pers' n in whom 1 place the greatest reliance, and that any Administration ITerted un der his ausTices, or is which he should hold an influential station, based es I am cure it would be, on real I;e:orm prin ciples, would ha. , te my confidence and support as an indep dent Member of Parliament, as far as would be consistent with my declared opinions to my recorded votes. Should 1 not have made myself sufficitntly understood, or should you think my objections to attend the meeting insuffi cient, I shall probably have the oiportunity of communicating with you at the House. I am, &c., very truly }our,, Feb. 24, 1e35. HENRY HANDLEY. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT QIJEBLC. (From the Quebec Mercury.) It is oar painful task to report a most awful disaster which took place ye=terday, between eleven o'clock and noon, and oc casioned the destruction of, no less than eight houses in Cham plain-Street, opposite to the Custom-house, with a frightful loss of human life, the extent of which has not yet been fully rscer tvined. A large portion of the cliff, from near the foot of the Citadel at Cape Diamond, to an extent of about 250 feet, gave way, and faking into Champlain. street, entirely overwhelmed the houses beneath and their numerous inmates, under the p‘;nder -0113 masses of rock and rubbish that suddenlifell, so silently and w ithout previous indication of danger, that none of the unfortunate sufferers had time to escape. The sentry on duty at the gate of the Queen's stores perceived the side of the pre cipice in motion, and ere he could utter a cry of alarm, which would indeed have been unavailing, the whole had descended into the street, prostrating the buildings beneath, carrying with it their frag ments, and covering the road completely to 'the walls of the Custom-house. So great is the quantity of rocks, and so barge the masses which have thus been displaced, that the pro gress of clearing them away can be but slowly effected. The s•ones composing the wall of the fortification, on the crest of the rock, to the extent we have above stated, appeared thinly scattered on the surface of the debris, in comparatively small fragments, and in one directiiin only did they reach the base of the rock. The military of the garrison were promptly on the spot, and the Mayor and some others of the city authorities re paired thither without loss of time, and operations were imme diately commenced to rescue from beneath the avalanche, if so it may be called, the victims of this awful catastrophe, , and by four o'clock, five living ;beings, all serins,ly injured, one in a hopeless state, were rescued, and thirteen dead bodies were ex tricated from the ruins. The work proceeded till night put a stop to any efl•'ectual attempt at labour, and was renewed again at day-break this morning. Several similar accidents, though to a comparatively smaller extent, have occasionally occurred, but, whilst they treated alarm at the time, they have not had the effect of de terring persons from continuing to build in so perilous a situa tion, but one so convenient for the dealers in marine stores, and groceries, and the keepers of those lodging and boarding receptacles which receive sailors, raftsmen, and the poorer 'classes of emigrants' during the season f,f navigation. The cause of these disasters, the present included, appears to arise from the numerous springs filtering through the crevices of the rock ; these raPing into clefts expanded by frost during the winter, increase the fissures, and loosen large masses of rock, which subsequent natural operations entirely detach, till whole bodies are removed from their positions, occasioning such devastation and ruin a. was yesterday unhappily wit nessed. It was apparent to the most superficial observer, that the slight work which crowned the precipice could have had no share in precipitating the rock at its base from the position it hal so long occupied. It will, however, require much la bour, and no inconsiderable expense, to rebuild the curtain, scarp the face of the rock, and to replace the part of the forti fications destroyed, in a'safe and sufficient condition. The religious ladies of the Hotel Dieu, with their characte ristic benevolence, have received seven of the injured persons into that establishment, although there were no vacant beds in the regular wards at thp time of the calamity. It is almost unnecessary to say that every care, skill, and attention is shown to the unfortunates on the part of the medical attend ants as well as the nuns, and that the whole of these cases pro mise to do well. Their names are Peter Considine, aged about 12 years, injury of head, face, and ancle ; Michael Con sidine, aged three Tears, much bruised and burnt about the brad and neck ; Madame Golin, injury of left thigh and ancle ; Mary Ryall, injury of head and foot, aged 30 years, cousin'to the Consitlines ; ngelique Guilmet, injury of the hip; Ann Sullivan, age I 15 years, injury of the spine ; Mary Considine, aged 18 months, injury of the head and arms, and fractured thigh. Mrs. Con idirie chanced to be absent from home when the disaster occurred, and she is the only member of this family uninjured. . - This morning the bodies of Mr. G sin, and Jones, a tailor, in Mr. Birch's house, occupied by Mrs. Conners anr! family, were removed from the ruins by a party under the direction of Mr. Wells, whose zeal in the cause of humanity is so well-known to the inhabitants cf this city, and by whom about one-half the bodies found yesterday were disinterred and removed. They are now fol:owing up their labours in search of the bodies of Lionnais and Chortler, who were in Golin's house, and hare 'arrived at traces of blood. One most extraordinary case of es cape is that of Vital Roy and family. His house was hurled into the s'reet, and partly buried beneath the ruins, together Kith their beds, Sce.,; himself, ilis . wife, a servant-maid, and an apprentice boy, escaped entirely unhurt, and his infant was,ex t acted from the ruisis of the fallen chimney a short time after the affair, almost unscathed. The coroner held an inquest on the bodies of the following perstios previous to one o'clock this day, acid four or five more bodies have been,since disinterred :,r- Robert M‘liabbon, Mary Connors, Margaret Connors, Do minique Grealy, Patrick Doherty, Mary Gallatither, Jane Crawford, Joh n C ons idi ne, John Fisher, Patrick Hayes, Mary Williams.

PAIVItt tl. cottiNtt, Mr. HUMFREY having opened the pleadingi, Mr. PLATT said the defendant in this case being in Pa: i , sqlicited the plaintiff, who was much engaged as a musician in that city, to come over and play in the orchestra at Concerts to be given by Mr. Eliason at Drury-lane. Plaintiff consented, and they entered into a contract that plaintiff should come over and commence his engagement from the sth of October, 1840, to August, 1841, at 600 franc , , to be paid weekly, each to perform their part of the contract under a penalty a I,ooof. Tt.e plaintiff, however, before coming to a fzeign country, re quired to have some security for the due payment of his salary: when the defendant gave him a guarantee, upon which the action was brought. He came and performed in the Concerts, but Mr. Eliason was not so successful as he anticipated, and the plaintiff was soon put. on half allox ance, and then upon no allowance at all, and eventually Drury Lana was shut up. At that period there was 101. 12s due to this poor man, an' for that sum he was obliged to sue upon the guarantee. He would prove his case as sho tly as he had stated it, and he had no doubt, under the direction of his Lordship, they would have the pleasure of giving a verdict for the is'ain • tiff. He then called Mr. Jacobs, who proved the handwriting of the defendant in the agreement entered into between the parties. • Witness knew that the plaintiff played the trombone at the concerts give. Ly Mr. Eliason. By the Jl:nc N—Witness sigm d the. agreement, but he clid not consider himself as aluarantee for Air.,Eliason. He was one of the parties. Mr. V. LEE had nc:o question to ask. Ile subm;tted tint upon the face of the contract the defendant was acting, when engaging the plaintiff, a 3 the agent of Diann, and if so, tEen no consideration had been ' yen for the guarant ee . His LORDSHI P overruled the objection. Th e agreement was made as agent' for Eliason and others, and the consideration was that the plaintiff si:ould come to this country and perform at the Concerts. Mr. LEE would then . take his Lordship's opinion whether The I.laintiff ought not to have set out the agreement find in French (the original being written in that language), and then again in English ? His Lounsitte said No; they ought not to do an thing of the kind. He doubted upon the point in a late ease—be reserved the po!nt, ar,d the Court derided it aeconiing to his opinion. I Learned Counsel would not wish him, to reserve the point again. His Lnrd,hip then directed the Jury to find for the damages .123. Upon the application of Mr. Platt, his Lottnsuir certified that it ma: a fit case to be tried before the superior Court, but relted to give speedy execution, the defendant being merely guarantee for another. Had the action been against Mr. Elia son he Mould have had no hesitation. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD CO UILT. ''( Before the REcoanEa.) The y Sessions at the Old Palley commenced yesterday before the Itecor.ler, Lord. Mayor, Aldermen, and other civic authorities. The Calendar, which is nnu?ually large,.contains the names of 251 prisoners, several of whom are charged with very se rous off, nces— two being for murder. The Grand Jury h..ving been sworn, the Recorder delivered his charge to the following cffec, was sorry to find the Ca!ender contained the names of so many prisoners. 'I his Calendar differed only in point of number from these they had been in the habit of considering at former Sessions. It was painrul to notice from time to time the coritinuanee of the crime of violence to the person, espee'allv towards females, which apparently was on the increa,e ; and that the punishment ritherto extended to offences of the'description did not appear to be a sufficient check, or to afford by example sufficient terror to those who miy be disposed to commit them. ob servation he did not elude to the extreme penalty of the law. The calendar contaired two cases cf murder. One was a charge against a woman for the murder of her husband. She was charged with having caused the death of her husband, by violently basting him dOwnsstairs. There would be probably some circumstances of the case requiring their serious and attentive consideration. If it should appear that the husband Land wife hid been previously quarrelling, arid that in a trans pert of passion the violence was committed witheut intending any s.Tious injury—if There circumstances in the it juigment rendered it questionable whether a charge of murder cou.d be supported, then itibeeame their duty to find a bill for man s'aughter. The other "'ease •of murder was one under very peculiar circumstances. - Happtared that a vessel was off Algiers, and that a quarrel t.,ok place , between the cook be longing to the vessel and one of th-4 sailors. In the cour,e of the quarrel a carving knife was employed by the cook, with which he struck the seaman, inflicting. a wound from which blood flowed. The seaman 'was carried on shore and subse quently died at the hospital in Algiers. This was a case which, on referring to the Statute, he thought was a!tilidecl with come difficulty. The Statute applied punishment for offences committed en the high seas within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty, but it did not apply to offences com mitted on ~shore, and 'consequently out of the juris dietipn of the Admiralty. Had the man died on board tyre ship there would have been no difficulty whatever. But under all the circumstances of the case, as the blow .was struck on board the ship, which was withi n th e j ur i s di c ti on o f t h e Ad miralty, and death having ensued on shore, which was not in the jurisdiction of the Adminliy, he thought the safest and best way would be to find a bill for cutting and wounding, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. The other cases comprehended in the calendar were of minor importance, 'and did not appear to peesent any matter of difficulty, nor did they involve any point of law. He would, therefore, not take tie any of their time by remarking on the facts of which they "(the Jury) were properly the judges. With these observa tions he would dismiss them to their several dutii.s, intimating the probability of their being detained for some days. John Thorne, described as a surgeon; pleaded guilty to hav ing ut!ered a forged letter fur the purpose of obtaining money. '1 he prisoner had been remanded from the last sessions, and in consequence of the preiecutor recommending him to mercy and his having already been in prison for four months, he was sent, need to one month's imprisonment. NEW COURT. Timothy Morgan, 25, described as a surgeon, and Elizabeth Bryan, 26, and Mary Burke, alial Bryan, 20, were charged with a conschaey for rescuing Rosa Grady, from an ,arteit by- a sheriff's officer• We need not repeat the particulars of the case, which were recertly before the public. The Jury found the whole of the prisoners Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. An elderly man of respectable appearance was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted self-destruction, by throwing himself into the Thames, from the parapet over the central arch of London-bridge. It was stated that at two o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday last, the defendant was observed to climb over the parapet wall of London-bridge, and fall into the river. After he fell, a waterman, named Farson, who was rowing two ladies in his wherry, near the place in which the old gentleman had sunk, said to the ladies, " For God's sake sit quietly, and let me endeavour to save the poor man's life." The ladies replied that they would, and they did so, and the waterman, upon reaching the spot, caught at the skirts of' the coat of the unfortu nate person, and dragged him into the boat. The de fendant appeared to be exhausted, and stared about wildly, as if he had no object. Upon being conveyed to the station-house he became more calm, but even yester day he seemed to labour under, some extreme e anguish and terror, and thought that some persons ,were medi tating his ruin. The defendant's wife accompanied the poor man to the Mansion-house, and stated that he had experienced great reverses by dealing in time bargains, in the neigh bourhood of the Stock Exchange. She believed that he had, in the effort to'recover some of. the property he had lost, borrowed from his friends, and that his inability to refund the loans preyed so ardsntly upon him, that he lost his reason, and therefore •attempted to destroy himself. The LORD MAYOR asked the defendant whether he was a stock-broker ? The defendant replied that he was not .in the house, but that he had done a good deal of unfortunate business in the Alley as a jobber. Upon being expostulated with on the subject of the dreadful intention he had shown to rush into the other world, he manifested remarkable weakness, and declared that he threw himself from the bridge for fear of being murdered by men whom he be lieved to be in league against him. The LORD MAYOR suggested - to the wife of the de fendant the propriety of detaining him for a days in the Compter, and directing the Chaplain to have some Con-. versation with him. The wife replied that she was convinced he woul.d never make any attempt upon his life again, as he was greatly attached to his family, 'and would attend to her advice after a little repose. His LORDSHIP at once consented to hand the poor man over to his wife, and gave to her the multitude of papers connected with his losses in the Alley. A young man, named John Fryer, was brought`up in custody of Horsford, a Officer of the Mendicity society, and charged by Mr. Western Wood, of 25, Mark-lane, merchant, with having obtained money from him under false pretences. Mr. Wood stated that the prisoner, of whose family he knew something, called upon him on the sth of May, ap parently in extreme distress, and represented that he had a situation in the London and Birmingham Rail way Company, to which :he could not attend on account of the deplorable state of his wardrobe. Upon being asked to show some proof of his' engagement, he pro duced upon his second interview a letter corroborating his statement, which letter it was afterwards ascertained was fictitious, and had been 'written by the defendant himself: Mr. Wood then produced some letters which thedefendant had written to him, and which, both.as to composition and penmanship, were models of mendicity shill. The amount in clothes and money of which the gentleman was thus defrauded was between 4/. and Si. The defendant assured the Lord Mayor that he never asked Mr. Wood for a shilling in money ; all he re quested was a few articles of dress, to make him fit to be seen. He considered himself Mr. Wood's debtor to the amount stated, and he intended to pay it off by instal ments of a pound a week until the whole should be liqui dated. He dealt in stationery, and would commence paying at once if allowed.to go and earn the money. • Mr. Wood told the 'Lord Mayor that he thought no thing of the money. His object was to punish a person who injured the claims of the really distressed by such practices. • The defendant said that he bad a wife and children at home without bread, and that if he was locked up in prisoner they must inevitably perish. If an officer was sent to his lodgings he would find the poor mother of his children without a gown to her back. The LORD MAYOR—You are sentenced to two months' imprisonment in the House of Correction.—Committed accordingly. HER M AJESTY ' S THEATRE.-3cmiramtae mas enacted on Saturday night, with Grisi, Viardot, and Tam burini to support its leading parts. M. Giubilei, seemed out of his eleme nt i n t h e high priest, which is better suited to Lablache. Semiramide was in her best style; graceful in the gentler scenes with Arsaces—grand at the tomb of Ninus. Her beautiful aria " Bel raggio' was rapturously en cored,. Ma;!arne Viardot was rather unequal to Arsaces ; her energy throughout seemed relaxed. The Assur of Tamburini was spirited and vigorou3. The ballet brought out by Madame Cerito a second tine in the Sylphide was graceful anti expressive. Madame Guy S'ephan, who merely appears in this ballet to execute one pas, fulfilled that task very neat and peepossessinglv. Her Majesty and Prime Albert willies:id th e opera, and retired. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Augu!ta and I'rince George were also present. ELECTIONS PETITIONS TRIAL BILL. The Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee having been read, Sir R. PEEL said that the Bill referred princi pally to the technical objections in the present law which it was desirable to amend. • The clauses of the Bill were mostly df an unimportant a character, but still on the eve of a general elec tion,with the probability that many election petitions would soon be presented, it appeared to him advisable to make the Bill as perfect as possible. It should be remembered Sat the Act would expire at the end of the first Session of the ensuing Parliament. There were, however, some alterations of rather an important character. Under the ' present state of the law a Member was dis qualified for serving on the Select Committee, on the grounds of certain degrees of relationship, or of his having voted at the election. But it had been found that in one or two instances Members had in advertantly been placed on Committees against whom reasonable objections might be urged—such, for instance, as their having taken an active part in the election ; and in those instances Members tad expressed a regret that they had not an opportunity of disqualifying them selves. He (Sir R. Peel) proposed in the amended measure, for the purpose of remedying that in convenience, that any Member who had satisfied the mtjority of the Committee that there were good reasons, not having reference to considerations of personal convenience, but affecting the im partiality of the Committee, why he should be ex cused from serving, that in such a case the Committee should have the power of dispensing with his services. The amended Act also proiided for the more im partial appointment of chairmen, and for a bet ter arangement in the selection of the Committee. He thought these substantial alterations ought to be made with the decisive opinion of the House in their favour. He was afraid it would be very difficult to obtain the vo luntary consent of Members to fill the office of Chairman, and if it was a necessary duty, he thought the House (nigh t to provide for its execution. He would suggest that the extent of the duty that might be imposed upon 'any Member to act as Chairman should be limited, and that if he were called upon to preside at several Committees it should be provided that if he should claim exemption (having once served the office), he should be entitled to it during the Session, and- that the General Committee. should have the,power of nominating another Chairman. He felt exceedingly grateful to those gentlemen who had performed those duties. He thought the Bill a great improvement ; at all events every one must feel it a relief to have got rid of those painful scenes which were formerly exhibited on the nomination of a Select Committee. At all events that law must be acted on during the next Session, and therefore it was desirable to make the experiment as perfect as possible. He trusted the House would ap prove of the course he had pursued in re-enacting the whole Bill, instead of merely introducing a separate Bill to make the alterations, so that one Act might contain the whole law of the subject.—(Cheers.) Mr. C. BILLER would repeat that he considered the Bill a great improvement, and that it was the more im- portantbecause it was a very improvable Bill. It had begun in the right direction. He should not offer any opposition to the Bill, but there was one alteration to which he objected. Originally the Committee on Controverted Elections had suggested that the Committee should be, chosen by chance—that the numbers be reduced, and the panel struck as at present. But • they had proposed, in order to give a permanence to the Committees, that assessors should be chosen out of the House whO should act as Chairmen. The 'light Honourable Baronet had grounded this Bill on a better principle, because he had done away with• chance altogether. He took the mode of doing away with chance altogether, and proposed that they should be selected in rotation. The Committee, of which he (Mr. C. Buller) was Chair man, had not ventured to propose such a plan, but when proposed by the Right Honourable Baronet he cer tainly thought it a great improvement. The Right Hon. Baronet had refused, however, to adopt the suggestion of the Committee as to the appointment of one per manent Chairman. What he objected to in the proposal of the Right Honourable Baronet was, that he did away with the character of permanence in the Chairman, and he argued that the effect of that would at least be to deprive the House of any great knowledge and experience in th e person who presided in the Committee. The law of elections was now so complicated that it was absolutely necessary to have a lawyer of great legal ex perience ; but undoubtedly a Chairman who had sat on several occasionkwould be far more efficient than one who was selected to preside on a particular occasion. He thought that the present subject was so important, that the sense of the House, no some occasion or other, ought to be taken upon it ; but it was not his wish, at the present moment, to adopt that course.

The President of the Second Chamber, as we un derstood, had also the honour of a private audience or Lis Majesty. The grand dinner yesterday, was not al usual in the palace here on amount-of the Queen's il:nes?, but at Herrenhausen. We hear that all the members of tl e First Chamber were invited, bat not the whole of the Second Chamber, only the President of the Syndic, and some members,. probably becauSe - the Chamber is now much more numerous than in 1839 and 1840. It is said that both Chambers have resolved to present an address in answer to the speech from the Throne. STOCKHOLM, JUNE 3.—The eonfirmation of the here ditary Prince Duke Charles will take place very pro bably next Sunday. Some day afterwards the Prince will take the oath to the King and the constitution. He is now in his sixteenth year, and will go to the Uni versity of Upsal to finish his studies. No-changes will be made at the present in our foreign _legations. The King, who .has already paid out'of his civil list the 6,sooedue :on the debt of the Cabiaet Treasury, will probably make up in the same manner the deficiency that may appear in • our diplomatic ex penses. All disbursements •of the kind seem to be only advances, for nobody doubts that the next Diet will vote all these expenses.

THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.—The ap proaching anniversary of this glorious victory makes every new particular respeeting it of more than ordinary interest at the moment. Our readers will doubt!eas, therefore, be pleased to have their atten'ion directed to an article it; that able pericijcal, "The United Service' Journal,"• for Jane, yr hill places the occurrences of that eventful day in an entirely novel point of view. Speaking of this article, the John Tull says, "'Amongst the periodica's of this month, we most anxiously notice The Ullited Service Journal,' becaus•eit cm - rains one of the most interesting papers on the Battle of Waterloo that' has ever been published. It is written by one of those who were there, and in the plainest, and simplest language, fraught with truth, proves that the Prussians had no more to do with gain ing the Battle of Waterloo than the Marylehone Volunteers, or the Westminster Light florae.. This one paper is worth the price of the whole Journal, full, as it is of other highly interest ing matter." TRADE IN DUNDEE.—We hare again to re cord a very dull state of things here—the transactions in linens, flax, and yar . 7s, being extremely limited. Let ters from St. Petersburgh to the 25th ultimo, N.S. say, "At this moment there is no ling doing—the buyers seem to be deferring their operations until She - fresh flax arrives, and they see how the braak will go : it is not supposed the price 'for the nine heads, braak 1841,, will open under Re. 95."—which, at the exchange of Mid., will cost about 321. per - ton. f. o. b. At Riga flax was quiet, and it is still the general opinion prices are to be down aftor the first ships are gone; those vessels which have gone out on chance find no charterers. Consider able disappointment is expressed at the non-arrival of the Britannia steamer, from New York and Halifax, now - a week overdue. It is understood she . has on board . many of the spring sales and remittances. r.: Seous fear, are entertained for hersafety ; and there* note almost. r o hope of hearing'of the President. —Fife' gerald. THE CORN-LAWS AND WATERING4LACES. —There was a point in the excellent speech of'Mr. Holland, at Hastings, reported in our, last, to which we beg to draw the attention of our lodging-house keepers in watering-places; and our readers generally. " The honourable gentleman said it struck him that this was a question on which they were particularly interested at Hastings.—(Hear, hear.). He had just told them that the planters of the West Indies, while they made us pay the highest prices for their sugar, took care toget the best and cheapest for themselves. So it was with .many ofthe landed proprietors. How many hundreds and thousands of them were there who made the English people at home pay monopoly prices for the produce of their own land, and went abroad themselves to enjoy the cheap living of France and of Italy.—(lmmense cheering,) An Kltera tion in the corn duty would raise the price abroad.— (Hear, hear.) The expenditure of these absentees wao estimated at the lowestcalculation at rive millions .a-year. They and their class passed laws to make everything dear at Hastings and at Brighton, and then went for cheapness to Dieppe, to Boulogne, and other places, at tracted by cheapness, and cheapness alone, deserting the beautiful and health-teeming shores of our country:" —Dover Chronicle.
