~, trENNG EDITION ,IT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) e l g ' ike the benevole n t gentleman, who to roast his own o s set fire to his neighbour's house, the Torres,. to obtain k t cc, and keep themselves in—when in, are wiling to set :land in a flame. To strengthen themselves, they , ould weaken th e empire; and this at a time, as M r . C . Adler well said, " when there is only an armed peace in -• eilurnpe." Lord Stanley's machinations against the Irish con stituencies have been foiled. Whatever may be the fate of Lord Morpeth's Bill—however much Tory ingenuity may l'.e taxed to impair its virility, or to limit iti sP aer e of operation—even though the Lords strangle It„ as they have strangled other measures which tented to place Ireland on a level with the other portions of tb e empire of which she is nominally an integral pert— .' ill there is abundant cause for congratulation. Tee aajority of five has seeled the doom cf Lord Stanley's Bill; . and relieved the Irish people from the infliction of a mea sure which would have delivered them over, bound hand and foot, to the tender mercies of Oraigeistn; pr have left t hem to the dange rous a l ternat i ve of carry i ng constitutional re sistance to its enactment to the utmost verge, which, in the excitement of justly-kindled indignation, would, probe bly, have assumed a form before which even Stanley must have succumbed. Sir James Graham prudently abstained frame touching this part of Mr. C. Buller's speech, to which he professed to reply. To have openly dared the Irish iteople to resistance, and to have proclai:ned the inde pelldenct of England of their aid in any contest •in which she might become it - Nola-A pith a foreign power, would have been worthy of the noble author of the oh nexioug measure, but would have become no one dee. The R get Hon. Barone'. therefore wisely si irked thet whir which he feare lto grapple. The Tories, throughout nem oppositi to to Lord Morpeth's Bitt, confJuedee two terns ess ee ti a lly diill r:e t. Th e y assume d th a t . the effect "( the 811 would b to augment the Li-th constituent:Res; the result of i t s operation will be to prcv olt their (Itali an:top. (From the Standard.) The r•ha- , ict ot• the di,iiion gives full assurance that the B.li sti I never pass even through the House of Commons with the thiversal age clause, and ia truth, it i 3 manifest that it was never intended to pain. Will Lord Ale;bourne act upon his own precedent in the case of ti.e Jamaica question, and "resign, ix cs"ise he can carry a great constitutional cnangt ver tie firs stake by no greater majority t tan _five? Ireland is surely as important a part of the empire as Jamaica; and a Bill for ca.inging the Constitut'on ‘4,f the United Kingdom is an afFait of as much wctg,,rht as a till fur temporarily suspending the constitution of a Nvgir ? Lord Melbourne is indeed bound to resign tipro he authority of his own precedent; but he will not. lie too welt knows that a rei , 4nation now cool I not be soft ly re,ortcd to as a fyiat. He has, morons - % r, another Fee,. hr has f: Rowed in this trals"ction withsuch tract fd:li - y, as to prey,' that it has been all along in !vs roata.nplition, acid to show plainly what his pur.. t ), , e is—the precedent of ':the •Iri,h Tithe Bill. tic wished to conti9t:c th - 3 fthe Pgqation fur party rur pore-s, and the• efore he retardel the settlerrer.t of the tithe (location for three whole )eArF, by tacking the appropiition claut.e to it ; he now wishes to protect the corrupt system of the Irish registra tion, - in which he has a deep direct interest, and which he nifty hope to mike the occasion of an agitation for Unircr sal Stiff :age that silo!' extend to Erg;and; and therefore Le tacas the repeal a the Reform Bill, and the subver pion of Cut Constitution of I t , 232, to a measure which l re pckly oucLt "to be merely a measure of order and regulation. ( Fr,,n; the Courier.) Miiiistere are safe, that is clear—thanks t► the im. mort.►; majority rf five ; for how long may be another (1 uostior. But if they can only contrive to throw over the Committee on the Irish Repeal and Revolution Bill to the commencement of the Easter holidays, or (vett to past twelve o'clock of Lady-day, one more guar er day's exi.tence will be secured, to the infinite delight, among many others, of Mr. Shi il, whose iufan►ino raptures on his drat non ination to the Vice Chair of the Board of Trade are still rcn►embryed among a certain circle of quidnunes some all re about Piccadilly far the unwonted diversion foried. The Ministerial Journals seem woefully concerted w:th the same result of all their prodigious la,houes, and those far more Herculean of Mr. O'Con roll, duiiog the recess end since the commencement of tu.s store► incipient Seeion—parturiunt monies, and a name at ,fives. Let them take courage ; they have hcf,ee now divided by the rule of three, and will again before finally they are bowled out. •' What great events fr )1n little causes spring," may well be the exclamation of the 1,11 losopher, who studies the signs of times pre cat with a view to collate them with the reali ies of past we;, The Capitol was saved once on a day by the cackling of geese, exactly five, we doub', not had his ry emdemended upon numbers ; so also Whig capital has been preserved iutact for one more quarter day by eerotirdir as much cackling industry as was ever t►.is pplared by the sacred twaddler, of Rome. From first to bat of Whig speeches, on occasion of this memorable debate of four long nigbts, wo defy the most indefati ralle iuquircr to discover more than the endless repo titi )n of the same two cuckoo notes in each, from first to ialst ; the t so a►ckoo notes led utf by Mr. Daniel O'Con a. 11 'Himself, aed subserviently chaunted and re-echoed from Dan down to Lord John, that is, " Justice to Ireland," or " tpeal and desertion of Ireland to the enemy, whoever he rimy be."

EXTRAORDINARY FACTS. --In the course of an inquest held on Tuesday before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the house of Correction, Coldbath-fields, on the body of a prisoner who died therein, the chief turnkey, in answer to a question from a juror, said that the prisoners sent there inva'isbly denied their guilt, even after they had been tried an d conv i ctet 4 . Mr. Wakley said i t was generally supposed that all persons convicted of an ottinte were guilty, but, from his own experience, ia a t.se, the facts or which had sever been made public, but which he would then shortly relate, he was convinced of the contrary. About two years ago a surgeon residing in the Camberwell road, was, with his groom, charged with stealing from a dwelling-house adjoining his own a quantity of furutture, on which charge he was tried at the Surrey Sessions two days after being taken into custody, found guilty, and sen tenced to twelve months' hard labour in the House of Cor. rection for the county, and his groom to three months. He (Mr. Wakley) hearing of tee case, and believing the charge to be unfounded, Instituted inquiries at the Home Office, where he was informed that the charge had been so fully established as to render all attempts to obtt'n a mitigation of the sentence fruitless. He, however, per severed, and, waiting upon Lord John Russell, requested him to allow the Attorney-General to fully investigate the whole case. His Lordship kindly acceded to his request, and the result was that the charge was found to be a gross conspiracy, and the gentleman and his groom were consequently set at liberty. The facts were that the house was let to a foreigner, who had gone abroad, having previous to his departure authorised the landlord, if he yews not back within a certain time, to take away the furniture. The foreigner not returning, the landlord, as empowered, removed the goods, and subsequently the charge as above stated was made against the surgeon. The surgeon, in contequenc a of such an unfounded charge being Made against him and the sentence passed upon him, went out of his mind, and was removed to Bethlem Hospital, from whence, after an order for his wlibaserbroatiounghtStaudp abgeenningtoivtehn having rega i ne d h i s reason, he Surrey Sessions at the instinee of the panne prosecutor charged with f org i ng a will. The charge being apparent'Y proved 20 as to l eave no d ou b t of his guilt, he was rentenoed by the very Chairman who presided at his former trial to seven years' transportation, in pursuance of which sentene he was conveyed to the hulk s a t Woolaich, His f riends again bestirred themselves, and several Members of Par. li onea t, among whom were Sir De Lac y ran~Mr. Le a ader, Mr. Warburton, Mr. Hawca, &c., tie., interfered in his behalf, but were told at the Home-office that his ga"..ga was so clear that nothing could be done for him. He (Mr. \V.) then again exerted himself, and succeeded proving that the witnesses in support of that case, as and there the e r o o t s: u no - t t w l otler grossly s i s c y the perjured other, themselves,had, at t . he then a second time liberated, and c.. the slightest grounds for theaccusat i i m on e s. dir T e li c e t s t u o rg hi e s o h n o w os a e s from the hulks to tbauk him fur his interference.

So loud was the report, that it xas heard all over the town, and for nearly a mile beyond it, and the utmost consternation was excited in all parts of Stockport, some attributing the report to an earthquake, and all being se i zed with an undefined sort of alarm and appro. he Tiow. Th e b u il ding, which is four stories high, was shaken in the most violent manner ; nearly every windon , was shattered to atoms ; all the lights were extinguished ; a great deal of the machinery was disarranged ; and the effect was described by the hand s w h o were at work in the upper storie s as similar to their being lifted up about two or three feet and then thrown dow n aga i n.

The Earl of MOUNT EDOECUNIBE presented a petition f•om Falmouth, complaining of the removal of the West India packet sta . ion from Falmouth to Dartmouth, and prayinr , that toe change might not be sanctione.l until their Lordships bad irquired into the matter. The Noble Earl, who supported the prayer of the petition, concluded by moving that the Report of the Commissioners on the subject should be laid bcf ire the House. Viscount MELBOURNE said, that the Government had nothing whatever to du with the pla;:e from which the vessels were to start—that deFended upon t;:e Company to which they belonged. Alt that the Government l•ai dune was to reserve to itself the right R 3 to the port from which the mail should start, and they had , verrnined that they should prodeed from the port of Dartmouth. Ile had never heard any (Onion in favour of the putt of Falmouth, except from those parties who were connected with the county of Cornwall. Lord ASHBURTON thought the arrangement made by the Government was a mot absurd our, because the vessel would leave two harbours to melte iustea I of one upon every vo)agi% After a few observations from the Earl of MINTO and Lord MELBOURNE, the petition was ordered to be laid on the table; and a copy of the.! Repcit of the Committee on the subject of the departure of toe West Intiia was ordered to be presented to the Ilause. Their Lordships adjourned at a Qua7ter beftr: Six u'Clock to ',Monday.

All he wanted war list tre subject should be properly considered, which be now be lieved would be the case. Sir G. GREY was quite sure the Noble Earl might leave the matter most safely in the hands of the Committee of Selection. After a few observations fhorn Mr. T. Hope, Captain Berkeley, and Mr. Bailey, Mr. SLANEY said that if the promoters of the Bill could show in Committee that it would not impede the navigation of the upper part of the river, be was sure it would meet with no vexatious opposition. Mr. GODSON gave bis support to the measure, which he considered to be one of the most useful character. The tolls which it was proposed should be herearter raised would be applied to keep the works in repair. Mr. PA KINGTON said whatever Committee the Bill should he referred to, would be sal factory to the pro-. moters of the measure. The Bill was then read a second time.

COMMERCIAL TARIFF, Mr. HINDLE Y presented a petition from the merchants, manufacturers, and trader: 'in the borough of Ashton-under-Lyne, in favour of an entire revision of the Commercial Miff of this country. The petitioners stated that they had read with great interese the vie. 'treble and disinterested cvid'enee given before the Committee on this subjeet during the tut mission. They complained that the present system not only prevented them tromperthaeing in the cheapest markets, but also drove capital into improper channels, and called into - existence manufactures far which the country had no natural advantages, thereby placing both cayie taint and operative in a false position, and exposing the trade in which they were engaged, to frequent changes and sudden reverses, besides exceedingly restricting commerce by limiti ng t h e art i cles of exchange with other counties. They deplored the effect of the present tieebibition system not merely on the physical comfort, but also on the intellectual and moral character of the labouring populteion. They implored the House, therefore, to give free scope to the industry and energy of the country, by an entire revision of the Commercial Tariff. The petition was signed by 'fo persons, employ ing 18,000 hands, and having upwards of tW millions en- , gaged in trade, It was entitles', therefore, to the serious attention of the House, not only from the important subject to which it referred, the arguments by which the prayer was enforced, but from the wealth and standing of the 1. eti tioners. He need not add how entirely he concurred with the prayer of the petition. Mr. T. DUNCOM BE presented petitions from South wark, and from Hodnet, in Yorkshire, against the Poor laws. Also a similar petition from Boston, in Lancashire, in which the petitioners expressed their opinion that the Poorelawe were a violation of the law of God, and destructive of the best principles of the British Constitution, and that they would vote for no Mem ber of that House who supported it,—( Hear, hear.) Also a petition from Worthing, one of the unions under the Gilbert's Act, praying s that th e i r pr i v il eges ought not to be interfered nub. Also petitions from the Rev. Price Jones, curate of a parish in Northampton, and from Kinross, signed by 5,000 persons, against the Bill. Mr. F. FRENCH presented a petition from Roscom mon in favour of the Government Irish Registration 13111, Lord DA LMEN Y presented a petition from Stirling in favour of the Medical Reform Bill. Mr. S, O'BRIEN presented a peition from the county of Limerick s in favour of Lord Morpeth's Iriab Registra tion Bill, The O'CONNOR DON presented petitions to the same effect from Roscommon, Mr. HUME presented petitions from bonegal to the same effect, Also tt petition from the workmen in a fac tory at Kiliterebtit, praying for a general extension of the Suffrage. Cieltinel SIBTHORP gave notice of certain amend ments in the County Coroners' Bill, LORD CARDIGAN'S TRIAL. Mr. HUME wished to know whether there would be any objection to lay upon the table of the House an account of the expenses incurred for counsel and other matters relating to the trial of Lord Cardigan ? If there was, he would give notice that on Monday next he would move for the Return.--(Heer,) Mr. FOX MA UL R said there could be no objection to lay before the Rause that return, as it had been already ordered by the House of Lords.

On tho motion of Lord STANLEY, the Order of the Day for the Second Reading of the Bill introduced by the Noble Lord, for Registration of Voters (Ireland), was postponed to Monday next. The Noble Lcrd went on to say that as the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies had promised to give the Hot& on that day some infor mation ro3peciing the course intended to be our;usA by hcr Majesty's Government, on the Noble Lord's Bill, he (Lord Stanley) would be enabled to fix a day for ra ceeding wio his own Bill. LORD KEANE'S ANNUITY. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. the Or. der of the Day for going into Committee on Lord Keane's Annuity was read. The House then went into Committee, Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. On the first cause being read, Mr. F WA wr moved that all the words after " Lies_ tenant-General Lord John Keane," ke left out. The ceject of Lis motion was, that the pension of 2,000/. should be granted enly for the life of Lord Keane, and not be extende Ito his t.vo next survivin g heirs. He l'egqed the House to understend that he quite neers el e ith the Notee Lerd on tee hence btlosv, as to the greet aid teilli irt services which had !seen performed by Lo:d Keane. The motion which he made neither reflewed upon his gallantry as a soldier nor his character as a man. The Peerege of this country was generally bestowed upon men r f large pra perty ; but it was also co n f erre d as the reward ofgr at and and e relent sr neces, especially in the army and navy ; and in such cases it was sometimes accompanied by a e er petual pension. That was the case with the Duke of Marlborough and the Duke of Wellington. It might be questioned whether even ir, the case of those eistinguised individuals, the peneion should descend without limit to Usti - posterity. A poor Peea-age was ant to eeg eserate into a dependeet. Peerage, and then it assumed the shsracter of the French Peerage before the Revolution. It appetred to hint that the Bill ciente c 1 many disadvan tsges under the shape in wbieh it was then presented to the House. It gave to the descendants of Lord Keane just enough to make the nselee s idl e ; the, would le c peneeet for tso genentions, and pauFe.-s ever . ere% It bestowed on then a dig. ity without giving them the means of maintainieg it. Ile confessed that It • thought the b-- stowal of Peerages ferlife would be eruad a he sefiela' mea sure in modern times. But, be tint as it might, the grant was one which the House should not be c:iit,d up,m to sanction. It would be much better to give Lord Keane a large sum of money as comperaiatien for his servicss, tient entail a tex upon the public for so long a period. He thought the subject ought t ) be looked et in two points of view. First, what was their duty to ih,er country ? It ap. pe Sct Ito liet that as they were callsd upon to reward simply the personal exertions rf Lord Kesee, the reerard shook be purely personal. Another griestion was, whether his proposition wouuld not be more consonant v ith the character of Lord Beare, and that his cbildrsn, instead of bsitig brought up In a state of splendid depcndeace, should be taught t ) depend upon their own exertions. For these reasons he felt it his duty to submit this motion to the House.—( Hear, hear.) Capt. HAMILTON said that although he could not agree with all that the Hen. Member ( Mr. Ewan) had said, he arrived at the same conclubien.—( Hear.) If the question were whether any' peasion at all should be greeted to the Noble Lord who was the subject of debate, he sh euld feel considerable difficulty to say no to it, because it might rap; eut ungracious in tee house to refuse pecuniary recompense to the gallant officer who had received so disinguished a mark of her Ma jesty's approbatien. Yet when the question was the amount of that reeompensd, he thought every Mem ber should give his vote according to his own opinion. Ile regretted that he was called upon as an individual Member to give any vote at ail upon this motion; and he considered it a question that did not raise the character of that most important branch of th 1 ser vice :o which Lord Keane belonged, because although he slid not for a moment question the right of the Severeign to create any number of .Peers, yet he did question the policy a pursue g that course which alloy el the people out of doors, and the public generally, to suppose that the creation of a Peerage, and the granting of a pension, must go hand in hand.--(Hear, bear.) feeling as he did upon the subject, he should give his vote in favour of the shorter period.—( Hear, hear.) Sir JOHN HOB HOUSE could not say that either the Hon. Gentleman who had just eat down, or the Hen, Member for Wigan, had doge anything more than exercise their undoubted light in questioning the propriety of the vote, and taking the sense of the House upon it. With respect to the argument urge I by his Hon Pi lend the Member for Wigan (Mr. Ewen), be must take the liberey of saying that a good deal of what he had addressed to the House was rather a complaint that more was not given, because the Hon. Member seemed to say that if the pension were gratited In perpetuity there would be something like common sense in it, seeing that the Peerage was graree 1 ie perpetuity._ (No, no, from Mr. Ewart.) He had also understood his Hon. Friend to say the amount wits not sufficient. Mr. E WART—No, n 0...,. (Cries of " Order, ordee") Sir JOHN HOBHOUSg—What his Hen. Friend said was teat it was either too much or not enough. —( Hee%) Her Majesty's G overnment i n propos i ng a grant of this nature eould only be regulated b,y precedent, as to the atbouut. If his Honourable Friend contended that nothing at all ought to be granted beyond the life of Lord Keane, he could then understand him ; but if he said that the pension ought to be granted in perpetuity, because the Peerage was in perpetuity, big (Sir John flobliouses's) answer to that seas, that her Majesty a Go vernment bad not thought it necessary to follow that course in the eresent case. These was nothing in the case of Lord Keane, that could take from hint the benefit of pre cedents that had been established, A good deal that had been addressed to the House by his Hon. Friend had reference to peerages themselves, dad he had stated that peerages ought only to be granted f or l i fe; but as the present e si was l granted t o L ea d K eane and his stli, e e laid dow n by hi s H on, Friend could ssor peerage th e p ritieip not apply.—(Hear, hear.) . He would as Ph the permis sionof the House, menton three or four instances in erhiteh a eittilAr ctinfie to that adopted in the present case had been pursued. In the case of Lord tieresford, 2,0001 a _ ye - at was granted to him, and to his heirs male for ever. Lord Cembeemere had 1,000/. &year granted to him and the two next successors to the family, 2,000/, a-year was granted to Lord Hill and his heirs forever, In the edge of Lord Lynedoch ,t'.)ooi. a year WM granted to him and the holder of the title for ever ; and in the C 690 of Lord Seaton last year a similar course was pursued. After mentidnitig those instants he thought his lion. Friend would say that, instead of malting as extravagant demand, they were only asking the House to tortiply with an ordi nery cuttom, and were, la fact, asking less for Lord Keane than had been granted in several former instances. Last year, when the services of Lord Keaton were to be re warded, it eras said they wete noteleg at compared with the services of Lord Keane and many others; but row when Lord Keene was to be botiottriehly rewarded, it eras said his scrieces were not of so important a netere as to entitle him to the reward and honour which he (Sir John) thought ought to he conferred upon hi m. —( H ear, hear. ) It *tie' not or hide to tae thlyibleg Mout the services of either of those Noble Lord?, but if hi, Hon.

Lord WORSLE Y thought it would be a great hard ship to Lord Keane not to agres to the vote, unless notice had been given to him for some time previously. He, however, thought that some change in the mode of reward ing the services of public men ought to be effected. Mr. WALLA CE said that the people out of doors did not care bow often the Crown exercised its undoubted privilege of making Peers, but they objected strongly to the practice of conferring it upon those who could not sup port the Peerage without putting their hands into the pockets of the people: —( Hctir, hear.) On these grounds he should support the emendaseat He wag not led away by what "had been stud by,. the Right Hon. Baronet the Preeiethst Of the. Maid of Control.

No answer was given ; but thereby hung a tale. —(Hear, h ear . ) I t had teen usual t t reward officers connected with the East India service—as in the case ef the Marquis of Wellesley and the Marquis of Ileetugs-- . tent of the revenues of India, and not out of ' '4 ,,, pockets of 1 that itunouge ~ ..,... ecoeitse Whoa Min" 'proposed to grant a pension I the sneer- cane in the East Indies, e should have ...„ers . . e r Cs!

On the motion of Mr, LA 1101:CHERE, the House wont into Committee on the Ea't India Run) Duties' Bill. Sir S. LUSHINGTON said that it was not his inter tion to offer any remarks upon 110 1341 in its present stsge. He would reserve what he had to say until he had seen all the papers upon the subject. Mr. LABOUC;HEfiE wished the House to underitaad • • Intended to put runt, the produce of -••••^n the same footing '-+Anded to services. And, after all, had not those sersi'ea been Greatly exaggerated? It was well known that Lord Keane had attempted to take Ghuznee without battering Uit% had if it lied not begn thiken by turprne, the expedition would have been a faildre. Besides; Colonel Denny was the person who had led the storming party, and to him the greatest merit was due; and yet his claims passed unnoticed.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He (Mrs Hume) could produce a number of Indiaa newspapers containing complaints on that subject. Such publications might be treated as the Right Hon. Baronet had treated them, but public opinion in India was not to be so treated. All the army knew that when a retreat was sounded by mistake, Colonel Denny had rallied :hero and carried the fortress And what reward was offered to Colonel Denny? The person who stood aloof had no more to do with the capture of Ghuznce, than any person in a distant country. But suppose he had, let them look to the capture of Seringapatam, to the battle cf Asseye, and the achicvments in Be igsl. The deeds of Lord Wel lesley had been ten times more Irdiiant than thme of Lord Keane, amd was there any Peerage offered or pension proposed far him? He thought, therefore, they were maki a disproportionate reward slings ther for such an ordinary transaction as the capture of Ghoznee. He thought i the duty of the Goeernmeet to amiorti in rewards for military services according to their merit, and not to select the individual of all others the least desirous of them. In the sec Had place, he objected to the system altogetl es of making Peers elm had not the means of maintaining their dignity ; biro above all, he objected to doiag so when so much distress pre vaded in the country. How many per sons, almost in a state of destitution, would be called upon to contribute to this pension ? He believed the Govern ment had not thought Lord Keane's service worthy of this reward, or they would not have suffered so much delay to hays taken place. With respect to India, he knew of no person who was raised to the Peerage for his services in that part of the world but Lord Lake ; hut there was no comparison between the brilliant exploits of that com mander, and those of Lord Keane. Lord Lake's pen sion via., he believe- 1 , Irons the Crown. He (Mr. 'lyre) thought that the House, in the course it was pursuing in the subject at present under discussion, would outrage, and had outraged, the feelings of the whole Bengal army. He care I not who might state to the contrary. he knew it that feelings of dissatisfaction were manifested, both privately and publicly, in India, with respect to the proposal by Government of rewards so diipr .porfonately great to the services of Lord Keane. That ge ieral officer would ha c remained Sir J. Keane but for the capture of the tort of Glatiznee ; and he (Mr. flume) had shown how little he was entitled to the glory of that cap teri. There were not many rewards given fir such ser vices, and Hen. Members should therefore use some dis. crimination in them. The prosent was a most inopportune period for making pecuniary grants, alien their finances ere in so distressed a state. They were also inverting the ra'ure of ihiegs in this country. They ought to have rich, independent aristocracy, and not a poor, pauper, and dependent one. Ii was on thst principle that he effete(' any opposition to the present measure, and he trusted that on the third reading the House would reject the 1311 altogether. Sir ROBERT PEEL hail already stated that he would give his support and assent to the passing of the presents Bill. It would be invidious in the present in stance to make any exception to the usual course of pro ceeding. But he was not so clear as to the propriety of the East India Company's not granting a pension to Lord Kearie for his services. He would wish that her Majesty's Government would suggest to the East India Company the propriety of their granting the pension. It was that body that was most benefited by the services of Lord Keane, and ' they ought, the, efore, to beer the expense. They ought not to reward the mere taking of one particular fortress, said the Hon. Gentleman, but they ought to take into account the consequences that had been averted by an individual success. It was impossible to calculate what might have been the consequences of failure upon the occasion, and he (Sir R. Peel) gave Lord Keane as much credit for the determined resolution displayed by him, as fur the taking of the fortress. But what could have caused such an aLeratien in the views of the Hen. Gentleman ? When it was proposed to re ward Lord Seaton, then the Hon. Member decried his services, and then lauded the brilliant services of Sir J. Keane.—(A laugh.) But then, said the Hon. Member, a secret came out te. all India.—( Loud laughter.) N„vr he denies that any merit was due to Lord Keane; he as cribes it all to Major Denny. Now would the Hon. Gen tleman grant the pension to Major Denny ?--( A laugh.) When Lord Seaton's case was on, the services of SirJnhn Keane were pre eminent ; lie spoke then eloquently of the gallant exploits of the Noble Lord ; but now, when it was proposed to reward those services *with a pension of 2,0001. a year, the Hon. Member found out that no ser vices had been performed. Did it become the Hon. Member to say so ? He had moved far a return of the former serv:ces of Sir J Keane. If there were none, why move for a return of " Nil?" but if it was found that I.e had for forty years been performing eminent services in every quarter of the world, surely the country would not think him too highly rewarded. His opinion was that Lord Keane ought to be rewarded ; he agreed that these rewards ought to be granted very sparingly__( Cheers)__ but be would be very sorry to see such eminent services go unrewarded. However, he still retained his opinion that as the service was performed for the East India Company, the East India Company ought to bear the ex pense.—( Hear. ) Sir J. HOBHOUSE explained with regard to the statement of the Han. Member for Kilkenny with respect to Colonel Denny and Major Thompson not having had any honours awarded to them, that it did so happen that in Lord Keane's despatch, the services of Colonel Denny had been made distinct and honourable mention of, and that he himself (Sir J. Hobhouse) had had the honour of recommending Major Thompson for the Companionship of the Bath. Mr. HUME explained that at the time when he stated that Lord Keane's services were pre-eminent, he was not aware of the credit due to Colonel De my and Major Thompson, as the despatches had not then been published which detailed the services of those gallant officers. Mr. HOGG was not astonished at the pertinacity of the Right Hon. Baronet who was anxious that a reward should be given to Lord Keane, but at the same time he was anxious to save the pocket of the country and to throw the burden upon the East India Company, and, therefore, he said that the House of Commons ought to make up for the neglect of the East India Company. The Directors of the East India Company were as aware of the merits of Lord Keane as the Right Hon. Baronet or her Majesty's Government. It was easy to he generous with other people's money—( Ironical cheers) —but it was a species of generosity to which the East India Company made no pretensions. —(Cheers, and laughter.) When ever East India matters were discussed in that House the Hon. Member for Kilkenny insisted on the necessity of not extracting one farthing unnecessarily from the pockets of the people of India.—(Cheers.) Now, it would have been extracting money from their pockets unnecessarily if the East India Company had granted the pension to Lord Keane.—(Cheers.) They were not liable for it either on precedent or principle. Lord Keane had been rewarded with the Peerage, and would be, he trusted, with the pen snarl, not for his services in India alone, but for his services in Egypt and America, and in every portion of the globe for half a century, from which the English nation had derived the greatest benefits. The locality In which public services were performed did not affect the question whether the State should reward them. That was the case with regard to Lord Lake, the theatre of whose exploits was peculiarly India. Would any one say that was the case with the taking of Ghuzace, and the campaign of AtTghanistan ? Did not those events affect the state of our relations with Persia and Russia, and the whole of our European policy? He (Mr. Hogg) maintained that they did. The East Indies had always maintained their expeases, civil and military, while the West Indies and other Colonies had been draining the na tional revenue. He maintained that it was the duty of the country to reward services which, though performed in India, affected our ietorests as much as if performeii in E L :rope, He did not think that an imputation should be cast On the East India Company which they never had de a want of liberality. Th e y had often served-namely, been reproached with a lavish expenditure, but he was g l a d to find that the complaint now made against them was that of a cautious economy. Sir R. H. INGLIS defended tu,. Mr. AGLIONBY felt himself bound, . who had the protection of the public money, nos generous in giving it away. He hoped the Governm would withdraw this clause for the present, for the pur pose of seeing whether the East India Company would adopt the suggestion of the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth. The course the Government had taken was neither justified by liberality nor economy. He should vote against the grant to the next two in succession to Lord Keane. eonsumption. It appeared to him a very insane restriction. The people of India were as much the subjects of lee Ma. jesty as we were, or those in the West Indies, and there ought to be no restriction on the intercourse or the free interchange of produce between all. The talk of East le dla ifitOetests and West India interests had been the bane of th's country. He hoped the Right. Hon. Gentleman would introduce a clause veiling the trade to all spirits made in India. Mr. LABOUCHERE hoped the House would confine itself to the question then before the House. He had in troduced the Bill as one affecting rum only, and he would think he was committing a bleach of faith were he to agree to the suggestion of the Hon. Member. He had the ques tion of tree intercourse as much at heart as the Hon. Gentleman, but he thought the present was not the time to go into the large questions that would be opened up were he to consider the qusstion of India spirits generally. Mr. GOULBURN suggested that some clause ought to he introdue , d in order to secure that no rum but that the produce of the sugar cane was introduced under this Bill. He had prepated clauses for that purpose, and if the Bill should go through Committee, he would commu nicate them to the Right Hon. Gentlemen, and move them at a fuels° stage M-. LABOUCHERE did not think there was any ne cessity fur the introduction of such provisions. The Cus toms were of that opinioe, and he thought it would he Let ter to leave all the regulations on the subject to the Indian Government. Ererybody knew that rum was exported from England to the Contisent, and that three-fourths of that was Ileitis's spirit. Now all he de ired was, 'hit that supetiatendence should be exercised ever the manufacture of rum which would effectually guard against those abuses which they professed to guard against. Mr. HAWES protested against the whole line of argu ment adopted in the present discussion. The Right Hun. Gentleman (Mr. Goulburn) looked to his own especial in terest, and not to that of the public. Bccause if it was the interest of the public to have the Right Hon. Gentleman's rains it was also their interest to have it cheap. He (Mr. Hawes) considered that whit was now proposed was a most useful step. The Excise regulations were more stringent in the East Indies than in the West, and he quite agreed with the Right Hor. Gentleman the President of the Board of Trade, that they should be put on an equal foot ing. He was told the Right Hon. Gentleman the Mem i‘er for the Tower Hamlets (Sir S. Lushington) meant to being a motion before the House with respect to the sub ject of slavery ; when that ►o'otion was brought forward it eould be seen that flee labour was a far greater source of profit than slave labour. He (Mr. Hawee) found its the clause the words << British protection." Now were not all those places to which the B 11 referred to be considered as dependencies of the British empire ? Were they not all governed by officers of the British Crown. and why should the people there not have the benefit ofthcir protection ? Mr. GOULBURN denied his advocating the interast of the Vent Indies furher than it coincided wills the inte rest of the public generally. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought they might meet all the objects proposed to he gained by the clause without adopting the very words of it. He ces tainly had some objection to the Right Hon. Gentleman's clause being adopted in its present sta e. He the (Chan cellor of the Exchequer) thought that whatever should be done agreeably to what was suggested in the clause should be done in India. He was satisfied that a discre tionary power should be vested in the Privy Council in this country, which could occasionally be brought into ac tion. He could not consent to any words limiting the mode in which their objects were to be carried into effect, and consequently to the words proposed he had a strong objection. Mr. WARBURTON hoped no words would be in troduced into the Bill subjeceng the produce of the sugar cane to any other restrictions teen those on West India produce. He thought that'any prescription as to the mode in which the Governor-General of India should carry these objects into effect would be injurious to the East India interests; and he thought this would be the effect of the words proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman. All he (Mr. Warburton) wished was that the restrictions on the produce of both countries should be precisely the same. Mr PALMER thought that if this equal zation of duty took place, the West Indies were in justice entitled to the removal of certain restrictions under which they laboured, such as the prohibitory duties on timber and provisions. Mr. SHIEL said their object was to - introduce East India rum at the same duty as the rum of the West Ladies, but to have security that it should be the produce of the sugar cane. The question was, how could they obtain that object? It appeared to him that the means must be Id. with those who were most conversant with the country. Mr. HOGG agreed in all that bad been said respecting the understanding that the duty on sugar being equalized, the duty should be also equalivd on rum, big the pro. duce of the sugar cane. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that he would endeavour to meet the views of the Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite. The clause was then agreed to be passed over. The 8,11 was then reported, with amendments, and the report was ordered to be received di Monday next. RAILWAYS BILL On the motion of Mr. LABOUCHERE, the Rail ways Bill went through Committee. The Lease and Release Bill was read a second time, and ordered so be committed on Monday. MEDICAL REFORM. Mr. HAVES moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better government of the Medical Profession. Captain PECHELL said that the Hon. Member hay. ing stated that he di- 4 not intend t,) extend his Bill to chemists and druggists, he should certainly not oppose the Bill. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill HULL DOCKS. Mr. HUTT moved that the Minutes of Evidence taken during the last Sassion of Parliament before the Commit tie en the Hull Docks', be laid before the House, and printed. Mr. SHIEL thought it would be of great service that the evidence should be published. Mr. GOUL BURN thought the House ought to be careftil how they sanctioned the printing of evidence relat ing to a private undertaking at the public expense. It would tr.! a dangerous precedent. The motion was then agreed to. MUNICIPAL COUNCILS. _ Mr. J. A. SMITH moved for leav,) to bring in a Bill t) enable Municipal Councils to rai3e money by granting Annuities. and to apply the same in payment of old debts. Mr. GOULBURN opposed the motion which, after a few words from Captain PECHELL, was withdrawn. MATES IN THE ROYAL NAVY. Captain PECHELL moved for a return of all mates in the Royal Navy, showing the year and month in which they passed their examination for the rank of Lieutenant. - INQUESTS ON PAUPERS. On the motion of Colonel SIBTHORP, the follow ing returns were ordered :—Return of the number of cases, for seven years, before and since the New Poor law came into operation, to the latest period to which the return can be made up, on which inquests have been held on the bodies of deceased paupers, specifying the names end ages of each, the places in which such inquests have been held, the names of the coroners, and the verdicts of tee juries. Copies of the minutes of evidence taken on the inquest held before the coroner of the county of Mid dlesex on the body of Samuel Daniels, at Chelsea, in the county of Middlesex, in August, IS4O. Also copies of the minutes of evidence taken on the inquest held Wore the coroner of the county of 'Middlesex on the body of James Lindsey, in the Union Workhouse at Hendon, in the county of Middlesex, in November and December 1840. The House then Adjourned. ANECDOTES OF THE LATE SIR ASTLEY COOPER. Sir Astley entertained a supreme respect for the Duke of Wellington, on whom he looked with a sort of super-human reverence. Not long ago, while visiting his Grace at Stratbfieldsaye, he chanced to be invited to accompany him to church, and afterwards to join in a walk through the pleasure -grounds. To this important event Sir Astley was wont to refer with great satisfaction us the proudest day of his life ; and when the Duke, who is notoriously punctual in answering notes and re turning visits, called to inquire for him during his last illness, he was positively enraptured. The imperturb natienee with which the Duke listened to the par son'stdrow:v homily—equalled only by the resignation Lord Aberdee n ' s more b a l my ba be displays rangue:, had struck , q _ir . Asiley (who yawned himself) with equal admiration ann stnnishment. "Ah !" sa i d th: expiring surgeo n , w h o s e tlao,,:hts were beginning t o extraordinary de wander, " he sat out that sermon wit, vaion—he has the fi n e s t kitchen-garden I. fiver witness e d in my life !" Sir Astley, indeed, had an overweening affection for rank, even when unaccompanied by any true nobility. When summoned, in 1822, to Windsor Castle, to ex tirpate a tumour from the back of George the Fourth's head, he exhibited considerable trepidation on being ushered into the presence of royalty. • The Earl of Liverpool, who witnessed his nervousness, took him into a side room, and counselled firmness ; but Cooper, per haps unwilling in his agitated state to use the knife, ad vised that the excrescence should be removed by liga- ture. " Your plan is too tedious," said the Premier; 6' the thing is an eyesore, and must be instantly re moved. Courage, Cooper! Cavarent vehis et fortunas you are going to cut a tumour from the head of George the Fourth." Sir Astley, under this ininres five adjuration, quickly recovered self possession, and perforiC.ed the operation with his wonted skill ; though he was straogely puzzled, and used afterwards heartily to laugh, at the Earl's magniloquence and curious idea of an " cyesorei* Sir Benjamin Brodie was the King's future surgical attendant. And yet, though thus inordinately devoted to rank, Sir Astley was not unapproachable to those of humbler birth. A dentist of some repute in the City, and now, we believe, attached to the hospital with which Sir Astley was so long connected, is chiefly indebted to the Lae Baronet for his fortune.
