EVENING. EDE !`NON THE USURY LAWS. The followitia• are extracts from a p am phl e t bY a " Lawyer," on •the bail policy of the partial repeal of the Usury-laws: — The principal arguents brolight forward in support toifanthoisf n a r o a n s e u r r , e were, th a t it - -Id resilitate the eircula and be more beneficial to borrowers and fieonseqesntly to trasle and commerce, than the expensive nds of g rant i ng annuities, or the taking of goods at orbitant prices in part upon discounting bills—evils no doubt of great mtsnitude.

GLOBE.-IVe do not expect that any regular discus sion will now take place berore the close of this Parlia ment on the Corn-law question. The Opposition fought shy of such a discussion, when it was offisred them, for reasons which, we doubt not, will be appreciated by the public. They " die, and make no sign"—no sign but the incidental utterances of their more impatieet Mem bers in either House, and the sustained and systematic extravagaucies of their newspaper organs. We lieve lately given some specimens of these—one of which, from the Standard, we gave from memory, only in sub stance. Our Contemporary somewhat complains of this; and we take the occasion to correct our citation. Wc stated that the Standard asserted England would neither lose any wealth nor any persons of the slightest use to her, if all the manufacturing towns and districts were swallowed up. The Standard's exact words were, it appears, as fol lows ; and we cannot but take shame to ourselves for not having remembered such words with more ac curacy.- The Standard merits the whole honour of an exact transcript :—" England would be as great and as powerful, and all useful Englishmen as rich as they are, though one ruin should engulph all the manufacturing towns and districts of Great Britain." :Such then are the extravagances which are uttered on one side of this question. We confess we are sorry that some exaggerations are uttered on the other. We are confident nothing can serve our cause so surely as the plain unvarnished truth. We are sorry, therefore, to hear a prominent friend of the cause, like Mr. Hume, state, that " the landed proprietors had, during the last four years, received every year, in • consequence. of the rise in the price of corn and other articles •of food, a tax exceeding fifty millions sterling, being more than the whole amount paid towards the wants of the State. It was useless to deny that the landed interest received fifty millions per annum for the taxes on food." It must be, indeed, useless to deny such statements - to those who can seriously make them. Nothing but the haste of debate can account for Mr. Hume having done so. For our own part we deprecate all such useless. exaggera tions ; let those indulge them whom a conscious wrong and weakness in . reason make desperate and reckless in assertion. We have no need of them. STANDARD.—We hear of monopolies, but this is the giant monopoly—the monopoly by the capitalist of all the profits of labour, industry, and enterprise. But one thing is exempt from that grasping monopoly—the pro fits of the land ; and of them the capitalist hopes to possess himself, by the aid of those whom his success must reduce to a condition worse than that of even the Brazilian negro slaves. 'We shall of course be taunted as . levellers and revo s lutionists, as enemies of property and order in main taining these opinions ; but, besides that we are careless of reproach with truth on our side, we can answer that our part is strictly defensive. We ask to deprive no man of .what he possesses—let the moneyed man enjoy his money, let him use it as he pleases, so he use it not to the injury of his neighbours and country ; hut when he becomes the aggressor— when, not contented with the protection which the law affords him, he claims the right to rob one class of his fellow-citizens, and to throw another into the most abject and the most oppressive slavery, and to reduce his country to a condition of miserable dependence, he must not complain if he is told that he is worse than use less—that he is at best but a tolerated nuisance—the only prosperous man whose prosperity adds nothing to the good of his country. The landowner or farmer " who makes two blades of grass grow where but one grew before," is, in his degree, a benefactor ; the scholar or scientific man, who adds to the knowledge or to the power of his fellow-citizens, is a benefactor of a higher order ; but in what . respect does he be nefit the public who 'causes two thousand infants to be ground in the mill this year where hut half the number were ground last year. He makes a profit of the inhuman trade no doubt ; but who shares the profit with him ? It augments his hoard ; it enables him to make poverty poorer by bidd ingvse • ainst it in 'every market and every pursuit of life ; or it extends mill-grinding and infanticide. Enough, however, Of the general question, enough, we .mean, for a newspaper—for we are far from thinking that enough has been said for the instruction of the public. No opportunity, we think, ought to be lost for exposing the fallacy that a nation cannot become rich by her independent resources, or for demonstrating that it is only by independence of other nations, both as regards food and employment, any country can be securely great; and, consequently, that the whole commercial policy of our empire ought to be to insure that independence by gentle and gradual means. COURIER—The Anti-Corn-law League is an atro cious conspiracy for the reduction of wages,—for grind ing the faces of the poor—to which the enactment of the barbarous New Poor-law, so boisterously bawled for by the sante conspirators, was the first acces sory step. Its avowed object was to induct the poor and working classes into the use of a coarser kind of food ; to ascertain, by a persevering course of horrid experiments, the least possible quantity of this coarser food by which soul and body could be kept together, so as to establish one important element of calculation as to the largest reduction of wages which could be safely undertaken, so as to extract a given quantity of labour from the human machine. The next step is by the abolition of Corn-laws to cheapen bread, by which another element of calculation for the further reduction of wages is to be arrived at. The last and grand consummating element in this iniquitous calculation is, to cause a constant plethora of supply in the labour market, which would leave the operatives wholly at the mercy of the employers. This, too, is to be a supplementary effect of Corn-law abolition, which by throwing the land out of tillage must necessarily throw the agricultural labourers out of work by the hundred thousand. These unemployed labourers will naturally resort for work and food to the manufacturing districts, where, coming into competition with the more skilled operatives, they can only hope to displace them by offering their services at half or less than half wages. Assuming that the quantity of work, or the production of manufactured articles, remains the sense, it is clear either that the skilled manufacturing operative must be compelled to accede to a discount of wages to the extent, or, on recusancy, he. will be discharged, and change places with the before starving and unem ployed rural labourer. The fact is, however, that the quantity of work or manufacturing production will not remain the same ; for by the displacement of agricul tural labour, the throwing the land out of tillage, and the ruin altogether of the landed and farming in terest, the home consumption of manufactures must be diminished to all the frightful extent, never to be re placed by a corresponding increase .of foreign consump tion. For what can the serfs of Poland or of Mecklen burg and Pomerania ever consume with wages at 4d. per day 9 This is a plain statement of the case, which • can hardly fail to come home to the understandings of the manufacturing operatives. Let them not lay the flattering unction-to their souls that raw rural labourers could not attain to the requisite manufacturing skill for ejecting, by underselling, them. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. SPANISH SWINDLERS. The soi-disent Marquis d'Albora!and Chevalier Joseph Speroni, of whose condemnation by default, on thz, 26th ult., by the Correctional Tribunal of Blois, we have given an account, having moved in arrest of judgment, were again brought before the same tribunal on the 4th inst., to undergo a full trial, and as the summary of the in dictment, as given by the public prosecutor at the hear ing, furnished us with fuller details of the extraordinary and eventful career of these adventurers than we were before in possession of, we return to the subject. D'Albora is a fine man, tall in stature, with a martial air, and a remarkably quick and brilliant eye. He was dressed in black, and conducted himself with confident assurance, but without insolence. His associate, Speroiii, on the con trary, was the very type of our friend Bertrand, the humble attendant of the notorious Robert Macaire. Among the articles brought into court to be produced in evidence, was a splendid uniform, richly embroidered with silver, and a cross of the order of San Fernando. From the statement of the substitute of the Procureur du Roi, we collect the following facts :—D'Albora was born at Genoa, in 1788. In 1812, he was a lieutenant in the French Imperial Guard, but • in that year deserted, and was admitted by the Junta of. Cadiz as a captain in the Arragon Hussars. Here he remained till 1814, when he was arrested, and confined in the castle of Badajoz. Being released by the amnesty of 1814, he was, in June, 1815, admitted into the King of Spain's Dragoons ; but in 1816, in consequence of his vicious conduct, he was discharged from the regiment, and sent out of the country. In the year 1819 he appeared in Paris, and for the first time assumed the title of Marqnis, and the military rank of colonel. In December, 1819, he was a prisoner of state in Ivree, and in 1823-in the fort of Saint Charles, at Fenestrelle. From 1824 to 1828 he was travelling at Jerusalem, Napoli de Romania., Alexandria, Beyruth, Samos, and Smyrna. He pretends that during this pe riod he was serving under General Fabvier, but this officer denies any knowledge of him. In 1828 he returned to Genoa, and in December of the same year he received a passport for America. At the same time the Sardinian Minister of Foreign Affairs wrote ! to his Consul at Bordeaux, warning him that D'Albora was no marquis, but a man of bad and immo ral character. In 1829 he fell in at the Havannah with Speroni, who was his fellow countryman, and was sent by his friends out of Sardinia to save him from the con sequences of some political delinquency. From this time the two have been inseparable. In March, in 1830, they were at New Orleans, whence they went to Chiapas in Mexico, under pretence of serving against the Spanish expedition then m preparation. At Parisapa, being taken for a spy in the service of Spain, he was assailed by the populace, and so severely treated that he lost his right hand, which was carried in triumph- through the streets. Being rescued at last, he went to Tonald, where he obtained letters of introduction to Santa Anna, and went to Mexico to solicit means to go into Greece to join, as he stated, his old companions in arms, in fighting for her freedom. In this it appears he failed, as in June, 1831, D'Albora and Speroni embarked at Vera CrUz for Bordeaux, where they arrived the following August. Here they contrived to delude and obtain from the Sardinian Consul a certificate that they were po litical refugees, and thereupon received the Government allowance of three francs a-day. They • went to reside at Moulins, where D'Albora was admitted into the first society, and excited great interest, by affir.mng that he lost his hand in fighting for the Polish revolu tion. In 1832, D'Albora obtained permission to come to Paris with his Fidus Achates, and for a time made a grey t display of fortune ; but at length it was ascer tained .'hat they lived by swindiing, and in May, 1833, they re,,.•,ed orders 1. 0 quit the capital. In July they embarked at Calais ptoasslpiztve 1 %., for England. How they contrived no t known ; but in March, 1834, a R as gr ,'9d to Colonel the Marquis D'Albora, as ia jaestn)a,titvoegooft::,';:uo, but a subject of his Britannic A through France. They, how and went by America. eAvter,Pthoiletelpiei,iiar::uir,ouß .route, the so ,•_disunt Marquis took .the Gist steps for becoming a eitiaen of the United States. At New York he proclaimed a resolution to go to Texas, and lend his aid in maintaining its indepen dence ; and was artful enough to obtain . letten of re commendation to that country from several American Generals of celebrity and in fluenee. D'Albora and Speroni, however, did not avail themselves Of the:ll ; for they stopped at New Orleans, thence went to visit Charlestown, and afterwards traversed the. island of Porto Pico, in every direction. In November, - 1833, they embarked at Cabo ltojo ; and haying, in February-, 1837, reached . G ibraltar, afterwards visited' Cadiz and Seville; ' where they ,v( - -re again stopped and sent back to Gibraltar. They next made their way over to Algiers, where taro - at first were Well received, and allowed rations ; but v: ere soon de tected, and made off to Toulon, and thence to Marseilles, where D'Albora, by assuming the character of an Ante rican, procured from the Consul of that country a pass port for Spain, which enabled hint and his companion to reach Madrid. Being once more routed out, they again went to England. At the close oflB3B, being at Portsmouth. the captain of a French chasse-maree agreed . to take them on board, a nd on the 2d Ja nuary, 1839, the vessel was driven, by stress of wea ther, into a small port on the coast of Finisterre. From thiSMoment - IY.Albora began to perform a new charac tor, and declared himself to be a Spanish refugee colonel in tire. service of Don Carlos,- and a 'devoted victim to that Prinee's.cause„ having, he said, made great sacrifices to it of advantages arising from his birth as the son of a Viceroy of Peru, a Knight of the Order of San Fer nando, and other Mgh distinctions, assuming all the haughty demeanour -of . a Castilian grandee, and thus presenting himself •at Archbishops palaces, Noblemen's chateaux, and other elevated mansions. He received large contributions, but uniformly through . the medium of his confederge Speroni, who every where appeared as his nephew. Thus, he found himself installed for weeks at. a time in - the first houses at Morlaix, Caen, Dunkirk, and Lille, at which . last place, however, he found his star on the wane, as the Prefect gave him an order to leave France. Not many months afterwards, he made his re-appearance in Brittany, where he married the girl Victorine, who, dazzled by - the title of Marchioness, followed • his fortunes till his arrest at Blois, where, as we have stated, she was involved in the prosecution, but, having shown that she was an innocent dupe, was acquitted. Having, in his last excursion, run through Belgium, Cologne, Mayence, Manheim, Cassell, Altona, and Hamburgh, he Once more re-entered France, and, in August last, was. at Rotten, where he formed even more brilliant connections than before. - The Duke de Crillon not only supplied him with money, but permitted him to bury in his own family vault a child, of which the unfortunate Vietorine was delivered at Altona. Many other legitimists lent their aid to the 'support of his establishment, in commisseration of his sufferino-s, as they believed, from his fidelity to his rightfulking. At last - he reached the end of . his present career. Leaving Rotten for Bordeaux, they passed through Paris, and arrived at Orleans, where a col lection to a considerable amount was made for them on the faith of the letters they brought, but, on reaching Blois, this stupendous bubble burst, and they were all arrested as they were , entering the diligence to go to Tours. D'Albora, with his wonted assuran- maintained his identity as marquis and. colonel, and denied every point that made against him, bnt all his allegations were unsupported by evidence, and most of them contradicted by unimpeachable documents. His acts of swindling in Normandy, and the other parts of France, were proved by personal witnesses, as well as the actual though sub ordinate complicity of Speroni. The Tribunal conse quently declared them both guilty, and condemned D'Al bora to be imprisoned for two years, and Speroni for one. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, JUNE 8, 1841.

The public plunderers are finding no other favour from the people than thee: gold can buy, and they rely upon in timidation and mulue...ialluence for votes. In Somerset the prospects of the people are, upon the whole, very gratifying.—,SonterAt County Gazette. The chances, amounting to absolute ceita:ntv, of defeat at Westminster, have, it is reported, induced Sir J. Graham' to abandon the idea of attempting a con test for the representation of that city. The Right lion. Baronet has therefore erased " Westminster" from the heading of his carefully prepared address to the " worthy and independent electors ;" and is suppoSed to be now watching . ; with no ordinary anxiety, the state of things in Marylehone ; where, if the folly of the Liberals will allow hiM, he thinks there is a prospect of slipping in, by means of a schism which is as insane in those who cause it as it is injurious to the common cause. In this case, the weakesi; of the two Tory candi dates at present in the field is to retire ; and, by a des petate eftOrt, the Marylebone Tories hope to' carry the two seats. We give this as the opinion of persons who affect to know something of Sir James Ql•alitan's move ments. The conjectures are, at least, probable, and ought to warn the parties whose obstinacy thus . encou rages the common enemy to come to an immediate ar rangement, by which the undivided strength of the Liberal party would • be 'brought into the field, and vic tory secured. At such time as the present, the man who refuses to forego personal considerations for the public interests, is a traitor in disguise.--Globe. TILE CENSUS.—The enumerators have had considerable difficulty in Brighton, as in other places, in ob-• taining correct returns for taking the census, the papers being lost, improperly filled up, or the p arties refusi ng to answer the questions. One cue has excited some interest from the high spertability of the party. The enumerators being unable to obtain the required information from Captain Fuleher, of No. 8, Regency-square, they applied to the Magistrates for a sum mons against him, which was granted, and an officer despatched to serve it. On taking it to the house, the servant told the officer that he W 23 ordered not to take it in, and therefore should not. The (Slicer then laid it down in the hall and the servant" obeying orders," took it up and threw it into the square after him. The Magistrates on bei ng informed of this strange conduct, ordered another summons to be served on the Captain personally if possible, and intimated their determina tion to inflict the full penal!y for the offence. • The hay harvest has commenced in this Curmurthen neigh bourhood, several field; having been cut and carried off in prime condition, during the week.

SEGA:I.—The market general!v remains very, quiet, with still a downw, rd tend:a:toy for prices. '1 he privat esaes in West In.'i e Muscot aloes were uneer 200 and tres, au 1 prices Were in some cases again rather in favour of the buyers. 150 hhds IlarLadoes offered at public sale were sold without spirit, and at Is per cwt. under the prices of the last sale, viz. low to good yellow a' 60s Gd to 66s 6 i per cat. The surplus in the comuat wive 'Stocks of raw Sugar avail able f home use at the lowest rate of dots is hhds and tierci•s West India, 63,440 bagi Mau itius, and 85,4i0 bags Bengal. ItErvono.--The dem an d was go i rd f or ilefi"''`t goods to day from the home trade, but pi i :ee veer, 1.111 Et 943 for stan dard luinrs 'treacle hi fair :quest at 2{i.3 32 , . Pieces and l'asiards dull at former rates. Bonded Crushed Sugar sells steadily at 30s 6,1 to 30s 911, and 10lb llamborgh Loaves at 34s 641 to 35s per cat. EAST INnia.—To-day there was little inquiry after white Bengal, and AI the ab c.itce of public sales little -hus'ness was dune is that. deserintien, hut previous. lades were maintained; brown is still alnoo.z. n-ttleotel, and 667 bags Offered by the hammer wore bought iu, darrip low to good brown at 42 s to 48 s per covt. itlau It ITltts.—Two parcels Were brought to the hammer to day, tomprising 6,590 baos, which w e re nearly a ll bought in. there be,ng little disooition to purchase even a t rather lower prices , fine bright y e ll ow at 63s to 645, middling and good strong yellow at 61s tia to 62s Gd, greyish brown at sds 6.1 to 57s 64, and strong brow n a t 55 s t o 55s 6:1 per cwt. FOREIGN.-4 parcel of washed Havannah, consisting of 113 boxes, was brought to public sale, and sold at 255 to 27s 6:lfur white and at 6:1 to 'ls for brown and yellow. WEST INDIA MOLASSE"._About WO puns have changed hands at stc , rly prices, viz., at 29s to 30s for fine Antigua, 29s to 29s 6d for tine Barbadoes, and 24s for common Dernerat a. TEA.—The public sales of Tea declared fur this day compre hending about 13,000 packages having been postponed till the 2.2 , 1 inst., the market has assumed a more steady appearance, but is far from active. Black Teas are the most in request, and these bring full prices, while green descriptions are but little in quired after, but we cannot quo:e any material change in their value. Several b rea k s of Congou, bought in at the public sale on Thursday and Friday lad, have been disposed of at about the rates established thereat. The lowest point of the market for common Congou is about 2s O l d to 2s let cash. In Company's Congou but Lttle speculation was carried on, and the !nice fell to 2s Id per lb cash. COFFEE.—The only parcel brought to public sale to-day consisted of 100 casks Jamaica, of the new crop, which went off with fair spirit, the best sorts fully maintaining the previous value, while the lower qualities were about 2e per cwt lower ; the whole was, however, sold--fine fine ordinary and low mid at 96s to 10-45. and real mid at 124 s per ewt. Foreign Coffee is rather more inquired after, and about 500 bags pale to colory good ordinary sold privately at' 39s to 405 per cwt. _ _ A flowing cargo of St. Domingo Coffee is_ reported. sold at a shade under 40s, deliverable at Antwerp. COCOA.-223 bags 81 barrels Trinidad offered at public sale were all disposed of and at rather higher . prices ; good red at 47s to 48s 6d, fair grey at44s to 44s 6d, and low musty ditto at 39s to 41s per cwt. . SPlRlTS. —Considerable heaviness continues to pervade the Rum market, and prices are yrt on the decline ; fine Jainaicas, which are scarce. are the only sorts which maintain their prices, they are occasionally taken off in small lots fir home trade, but the transactions are unworthy of enumeration; the lower qualities are almost neglected, though ob:ainabll on lower terms, and the only sale to notice is a pa..cel of 50 puncheons lair quality 26 to 30 overproof at 4s 10d to 5s 3d per gallon. Leewards have de clined Id per gallon, and the sales do not exceei 280 puns, proof to 3 over has sold at 2s to 2s tad, 8 to 15 over at 2s 21d to 2s 4d per gall on . L as t I n di a Rum continues depressed, owing to the continued heavy arrivals, and the reduced price of 3d has been accepted for 100 puncheons of proof strength Bengal. In Foreign Rum no business reported. A Government contract for 100,090 gallons Rum, half to be the produce of the Mitish West Lila colonies, and the other half to cimsi:t of Bengal, was taken on Thurs day, all by Messrs. Mahon and Simmons at a price much below the general expectatinns of the trade, viz., is Gd 15 16ths perprocf gallon, which is id below the last con tract in the early part of the year. In the Brandy market there is also much heaviness, and to press sales lower prices must be taken. FnUlT.—The common description! of Valentia and Red Smyri.a Raisins have been tal:en more freely for the home trade this week, prices being so very low. For export a tion these had been less d e mand for Red Smyrna Raisins. Cur rants are a very heavy sale. CASSIA LTG NEA . —One hundred boxes were readily bsught up by public auction at a further advance of about 46 pea. cwt. viz. 105 s to 11/ 3s 6d for good quality. PEPPER. —728 bags black were brought to public sale rnd di posed of but at rather easier prices; half heavy Sumatra at 310 to 3!,i1 per lb. 85 bags white at public sale chiefly sold at Ad to tqd per lb. for fair quality. RICE. —Three parcels of Bengal. consisting of 5,171 bags. were brought to public auction, which went heavily, a small part only being disposed of, and at rather lowe r prices; low yellowish wl:ite at 106 to lOs 6d, and good mid white at 11s 6d to 12s per cwt. livnino.—The ma , ket remains quiet, without alteration of prices. About 3,500 chests to be offered in the July sales have now passed inspection, the bulk of is hich consists of mid dling shippers and good eon-timers, rangirg according to last sales' prices, from 5s 6d to 63 9d per lb. PROVISION'S. —I here is more inquiry for Irish Butter, and the small arrivals go off steadily-4.imeriek has sold at 92s to 94s landed, and 90s to 91s en board. The advanced prices ob• tamed for Foreign towards the close of last week are maintained, and a steady business is doing, fine Friezland brings 94s to 96s per cwt. Lard remains steady at former qultations. The weather having become warmer, the Bacon market has assumed a more active appearance, and prices are extremely firm, with large deliveries—prime sizeable Waterford brings 60s to 63s per cwt, landed. TALLOW.—There is mere firmness in this market, and fine Yellow Candle on th:" spot is now quoted at 46s 9d to 475, and new Tallow deliverable in the last three months of the year at 48s to 48s 3d per cwt ; the demand is, however, only limited. Orr..—This afternoon about 150 tuns Southern NVliale Oil were offered by public auction, and chiefly bought in at from 23/ lOs to 27/15s per tun, being a shade lower. IRISH MARKETS.

Lord WiLIIiNCLIFIE presented a oetition against the Poor-law Bill also petitions from' Yorkshire that no alteratioo be made in mlr.r Corn-laws.

Lord WHATINCLIFI - t: laid .on the table a Bill -for tae atnrodment of tli Marriage Act, especially with respect to the clause which related to marriages in cer tain degrees of aliiaita. The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from Kilkenny against the Corn-laws. Lord - BEAUMONT presented a petition to the same The Earl. of ABERDEEN presented a petition from the seven Ministers of Strathbogie who have been suspended from . their (Ars. The Noble Earl re marked very Strongly on the ease of the petitioners, who, he said, hail been-suspended from their offices for the sole crime of acting up to the laws of their country. lie had . • known several of these gentlemen, and knew them to be amoagst the most exemplary and orthodox ministers . existing in the Church of Scotland. The case of these gentlemen had excited a strongfeed ing in the minds of the people of Scotland. Meetings were held, and they came to resolutions reprobat ing the treatment of these gentlemen. He (the Earl of Aberdeen) thought tile tyranny towards those gentlemen was never surpassed by the Church of Rome in its greatest Pr': A 'S / .l2 is Tn cit . ii Kil. t MELBOURNE said he regretted the present state of the Scottish Church, hut he was not prepared to admit that that state of things could be attributed to any remissness on the part of the Government ; the Government were determined to enforce the law of the land, and be had no doubt that. the Lord Advocate -had done all that it. was his duty to dO.---(, Hear, hear.) The Earl of lIADDING TON said the General As sembly had appointed a sort of roving Commission, with anthorty over five Presbyteries, and had given them power to frame whatever rules and regulations at; to matter of ecelesiastieel discipline, and otherwise, as they might think fit. What would any Right Rev. Prelat e say to that ? He cont en d e d t h at such perversion of power, was gross illegality. The Marquis of NORMANBY said that instructions I had been eeuveyed to the Lord Advocate to take steps • whenever he thought proper, and as he had not done so on the present occasion, he must have thought it unne cessary. . The Marquis of BREADALBANE complained of the strong language employed by the Noble Earl (Hadding-, ton), and of the one-sided view of the question which be took. He (the Marquis of Breadalbane) deprecated any interference on the part of the Government. The Duke of ARGYLL made some observations, which were inaudible in the gallery. Lord BROUGHAM said' the Court of Session of Scotland had determined this question, but the Presby tery had applied to the House of Lords, and it had been most ably argued arid fully considered. Their Lordships were ably assisted by the law Lords ; and they had also come to a clear decision, confirming the opinion of the Court of Session. This decision, however, had not been obeyed. He, for one, would never permit the powers of the highest Court of Judicature to be infringed upon. Viscount MELLi HTIINE said that nothing could be further from his intention titan giving anythi ng lik e en couragement to those aim had neglected the law in Scotland. It was their intention to execute the law, but the General Assembly had. not done that which it had been contended they had a right to do. If they hal done so there oas tiro law as a remedy. The Go vernment eoesidereil that the best way of executing the law was for it to execute itself. Lord BROUGHAM never meant to say thet it _WAS the haul:thin of the G o v ernmen t to g i ve enco uragement to violator.; of the law. What he had• stated was that the intention was one thing and the tendency was annther. Lo d , BELILAVEN thought that if the question could be tried on the presentatical of individuals on the the deposition of those individuals, it would be the best way to settle the quest ion. After a few words from the Earl of Aberdeen, the Duke of Argyll, end the Lord Ch ance ll or , the subject: dropped. The Marquis of SALISBURY presented a petition from the Agricultural Association of Essex praying that no alteration be made in the present Corn-laws. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Devonport in favour of the Jews Declaration Bill. Also a petition from • Pontefract card other places in favour of the measure in- treduced by her Altijesty's Governme n t. by TRUSTS BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the object of this Bill was to secure to the poor the benefit of the charities. The Bill proposed to do this in two ways - It was to save the expense whenever trustees were appointed. When new trustees were appointed, of necessity there, would be. a transfer of the property to these trustees. Then that happened—and it cOntinnelly happened--considerable expense was thrown on the trust fund. A deed had to be drawoa—an attorney to be employed—the stamp duty paid. In small charities this was a great burthen. The object of the present -enactment was, that whenever such events as these should happen, the property shall be vested in the remaining. trustees ipsc fitclo by their ap pointaleilt, with power to make up their number. The other object of the Bill was not a - question of expense it was a question of total denial. The words in the Mu nicipal Act were that " all the estate, interest, and title which at that -time existed in the Corporation or any indiVidual holding it for the Corporation shall on the Ist day of August 1536; and from and after - that, cease and determine.' That is that from and after that time, the Lord Chancellor must be applied to to make such order as he shall think fit.

This was not (married against in the Municipal. Reform Bill. In the Irish Corporation Bill it did so. In that Bill it was provided that no person should interfere with ' the presentation of livings who was not a member of the Church of England. It was for this he 'objected to the Bill. He thought, under all the circumstances, that it ought not to be brought forward at this period of' the Session, and that it ought not to be brought forward • under any circumstances without being first referred to R. Seleqt Ctino»lttee. He, therefore, moved that the Bill be read a second time that day three months. Lord BROUHGAM said he was quite astonished that his Noble Friend should take this objection, on such. a groom!. If this Bill was throrin out, they put into abey ance munch of the property of this country belonging _to the poor. He fully expeeted his Noble Friend to have concluded by moving the insertion of a clause With • speet to advoweona.

It appeared that he hail nothing but a verbal promise of renewal .of the lease, which was of no legal ctfeet what- ever. Sir DE LACY EVANS said an appeal was made to the House to confirm or annul any deasions. They were simply asked to allow a re-consideration of the question, in which he trusted they would consent.

Now he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State whether such conduct had been iu any way authorised ? Mr. E. J. STANLEY said that the keeper had no authority to act as the Hon. Member had represented, and his conduct must have- originated in some mistake, which he would take care to see rectified. The Militia Pay Bill was read a third time and passed.

On Mr. SCHOLEFIELD rising to brber forward the ' motion, of • which ho had given notice on the - siilteet of the distress so generally existing throughotit the country, Mr. GODSON rose, and claimed precetlenee for the motion of which he had given notice relating to the peti ; ,-, tion of Edward Kilbean Cox, as his motion related' ' matter of privilege. The SPEAKER did not consider that the petition-eoff Cox could be considered as relating to a questiiii of pri vilege, and therefore the Hon. Member for Kiddermin ster could not brine; on his motion out of its regular order. He therefore called rpon Mr. Seholefield to proceed. • Mr. SCHOLEVIIIILD then rose to move the following resolution :—" That the extreme sutfi:Ting of the indas trions classes, from want of employment, low weg . es, and high price of p rov i s i ons, r en d ers i t t h e imperative duty of 1 aril:uncut to devise means for - the alleviation I of the great miser... Yrhich now pervades all the manu facturing districts ,bf the country." The Hon. Member commenced his addiess in a very low tone of Voice. We understood him to say that the House Commons ap peared to him to be hardly aware thin • such a thing as distress existed in the numnfarturime districts. and those who were aware o the distress :seemed to be totally ignorant of the cause: The pressure of taxation upon the industry of the country wae, the cause of these sufferings. • At. the present time the manufactitr ing interest was in a moot depressed state ; nearly ail the markets in the world were, in a great measure, closed against them. The bianufact tires of many other. mien . tries were excelling ;those of England ; those of Ger many, for instance excelled those of Sheffield. One pe culiar feature in thee suffering whieb existed was that the condition of the middle elas::es nee scarcely superior to that of the working classes- -{Hear, hear, heer) e -.se low I 'were the profits afforded by the various branches Of' Ina , nitfacture. He begged to cell the attention of the House to the state of Birmingham at the present time. The followine , documents bearing upon this subject were then read by the lion. : ' " The condition of the inhabitants of Eirmingliam is more deplorable than ever. Cruel mortgagers are dis posing of property on which they - have advanced money, for less.than one-third of its value, or radio-, I should say, they are purchasing buildings at thatrate.
