The attempt upon the life of the Prince of Prussia, together with the attack upon the ammu nition entrusted to their charge, greatly enraged the Prussian soldiers, and it appears probable that a general disarmament will be ordered all along the important military road from Urre to Bingen.— Cologne Gazette. BRESLIU, JUNE 12.—The Emperor of Austria has sent orders and other recompenses to several indivi duals here. The object is a most undesirable one, namely, the marching of the Russian troops through the Prussian territory. On this occasion Lieutenant- General von Lindheim, Adjutant to the King, received the order of the Iron Crown of the first class. The papers of Nees von Esenbeck were seized in the course of the day before yesterday.—Schlesuig Zeitung. AUSTRIA. The Wiener Zeitung of the nth of June contains the address presented by the Servian deputation to his Majesty the Emperor at an audience at Schon brunn, on the Ist instant, signed by Jacob Ziwanowie, Johann Pa , kovies, and Johann Sup likatz. His Majesty, in reply, thanked them for their loyalty and attachment at a time when they were visite:l by such severe calami ties, and, to his heartfelt, sorrow engaged in a civil war. His Majesty expressed his confident hope that, with the help of God, he should now succeed in re establishing the supremacy of law and order to this unhappy country. DALMATIA. - - CATTARO, JUNE I.—During the past night six men committed sacrilege upon the church at Stoliro, and carried off plate to the amount of 472 florins. A band of about '2OO Montenegroes lately pene trated into the Turkish territory, with intent to attack the caravan returning from Ragusa to Nirich, but the superior numbers with the caravan happily defeated their object. They, however, seized upon three men, whom they dragged off to Nirich, in the neighbourhood of which they attacked a shepherd, and put him to death. We have received confirmation of the report that Pascha of Scutari is about to commence the erec tion of the works of the two fortresses. GALLICIA. The cholera is happily departing. During the space of nearly a whole twelvemonth this scourge visited 17 districts and 1,625 hamlets, containing a population of 1,919,884 persons, of whom no less than 107,990 were attacked, 42,746 died, and 65,244 recovered. BADEN. KARLSRUHE, JUNE 11.—Mieroslawski previous to setting out for Heidelberg yesterday, had an inter view with several members of the Provisional Govern ment. He stated that he should not accept the office of commander-in-chief until he had convinced himself that the necessary preparation for war had been made, and that the undertaking was not a hopeless one. To-day, Mieroslawski is to in spect the troops assembled on the frontiers. of Hesse. Colonel Galewski, the companion in arms of Bem, has also arrived here. Colonel Racquilliet is said to have been appointed Commander of the For tress of Rastadt. Brentano's speech, at the opening of the Constitutional Assembly, has satisfied none but the moderate democrats. The military display was somewhat imposing; about 6,000 armed men defiled before the Provisional Government. Letters from Karlsruhe of the 11th of June state that several members of the Stutgard camp Parlia ment have already arrived at Karlsruhe, for the pur pose of commencing the removal of the same to Baden- Baden. The Provisional Government has placed the sum of 25,000 guilders at their disposal, for the ac complishment of this object.—Allgemeine Zeitung, June 13. HUNGARY. The following note has been addressed by Count Ladislas Teleki to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the French Republic : " Monsieur le Ministre,—Events press onward. The intervention of Russia is a reality. After having glori ously resisted the armies of Austria, Hungary finds her self now upon the point of being crushed under the weight of a new Holy Alliance, reorganised on Cossack principles. The manifesto of the Czar Nicholas leaves no further doubt on this subject. The Emperor Francis Joseph publicly avows himself the ally of the foreigner who invades his States. The fact of this Russian inter vention, solicited in the name of the Emperor-King of Hungary, is what has above all other things led the Na tional Assembly of Hungary to declare the decheance of the House of Hapsburg-Lorraine, which had already violated every engagement, and broken all the compacts, by virtue of whieh they have for more than three cen turies possessed the Crown of Hungary. " I have given the details relative to the Hungarian question in tw o o f my notes, presented to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the French Republic, in October, 1848, and in March of the present year, as as in a mani festo addressed in the name of Hungary to the civilized nations of Europe, and which I bad likewise the honour to present to the Minister of the Republic in December, 1848. "Since then this question has assumed greater dimen sions; henceforward it has an European importance. " It now becomes my duty to sum up in a few words that which has relation to the just right of Hungary in the deadly struggle which she has to bear against Abso lutism, and which identifies her cause with that of civi lization and freedom in general. "1. The legal right of Hungary.—Hungary has ever been independent of Austria. Ferdinand 1., the first Prince of the House of Austria that ever reigned in Hungary, received the crown in 1526, in accordance with an election by the Diet. He swore to maintain the constitution and the independence of Hungary. All his successors took the same oath. The crown of Hungary first be came hereditary in the Rothe of Hapsburg in virtue of the Pramatic Sanc tion, passed by the Estates of Hungary in 1687. In 1723 this settlement was extended by the Hungarian Diet to the female line of the House of Hapsburg (se cond Pragmatic Sanction). But the independence of Hungary was maintained and guaranteed not less by these very acts than by the oaths of all the Kings of the !House of Hapsburg-Lorrain), even down to our own days. By article 10 of the year 1790, the Em peror-King Leopold 11. recognised Hungary as a free and independent state in its whole legislative and administrative system. Hence the article 3 of the year 18.1 ii, by which a Parliamentary Government was set tled in Hungary, introduced no change in its relations to Austria. This law W 23 no more than a developement of all the foregoing laws. It was p assed by an unanimous vote of the two houses in the Hungarian Diet, and was fbrmerly sauctione d by the King, Ferdinand V. " All that we demanded of the House of Austria was that our Charter should henceforward be a truth ; our demands did n o t go o ne step beyond what had b een guaranteed to us in sucee.zsiGn by all our Kings. " 2. Conduct of the House of A ustria.—The Ilcuse of Austria has broken all her engagementa with Hungary, from the moment when, in consequence of her victory over the army of Charles Albert in July, she felt herself strong enough to venture it. She put in force every means which could lead to her end of overthrowing the Hungarian Constitution, and incorporating Hungary in her Austrian monarchy. "She publicly preached revolt abroad ; she raised up national hatreds among us ; she excited men to pillage, to burn, to murder ; she awakened the enmity of the poor against the rich ; she offered the hand of friend ship to all our enemies ; she decreed the partition of Hungary into numerous provinces ; she launched armies against us, and declared all those to be rebels who re mained faithful to their country and its laws. Last of all, she has called in Russia to her aid, and bas thus caused her own States to be invaded by the most danger ous of her own rivals. " It is, therefore, in the exercise of a legal right that the Hungarian Diet has decreed the decheance of the House of Hapsburg •Lorraine, which has shown itself the most bitter enemy of our country. I feel an intimate conviction that Europe, that Frar.ce, ought to take an interest in us. " For we are at once the champions of freedom and of legal order; we are the defenders of good order and of society; and it is the House of Austria which, in refer ence to us and to our Constitution, legally guaranteed, is in the state of rebellion. _ _ " 3. Hungary is the Champion of Civilization. —This Russian intervention is totally adverse to the interests of the whole of Europe. Austria has always been looked upon as the proper bulwark of Europe against Russia. But this intervention is the death of Austria. It would be absurd to imagine that Russia marches her armie3 and perils her finances with the sole object of setting up a barrier against herself. Her intervention, therefore, will be nothing but a means of subjugating Austria. Besides, we know very well what are the real intentions of Russia with regard to the Sclavic populations of the Austrian empire. The Russian Autocrat already looks upon himself iu the light of their legitimate Sovereign. Hence, when she has succeeded in re-constituting Austria after her own fashion, Russia will have pushed herself, in fact, as far as Germany ; this is what must be expected if we are crushed. Under such circumstances, will Turkey, al ready wounded by the occupation of Moldavia and Walachia, have power to bear the shock of the Northern Colossus ? "No! all is destined to be subduod in its turn. After having invaded Austria, Russia will have the Bosphorus. Europe will no longer possess any bulwark against her. Thus in combating the Russians we are serving the interests of the whole of Europe. " Our army amounts to very nearly 200,000 men, perfectly drilled and disciplined, together with an im posing torte of artillery, The force of Turkey is hardly inferior; and she has, besides her fleet and the Egyptian conting,nt. This strength is more than is required to resist the Russians. The intervention of Russia could not take place—at all events, could not succeed—if ad vantage were taken of these forces, if pains were taken to invite them. France has only to will it. Let me hope that she will not look on with an indifferent eye upon this intervention—that she will have the will to prevent it. - "For the policy of Russia, at last unmasked by the manifesto of the Czar Nicholas, proves sufficiently that he looks upon himself as the natural enemy of all civi lized people, and, as a final consequence, of France. It proves that, in her present attack upon us, Russia is only taking up a strong pesition, by rendering Austria subject to herself. " Let me entreat you to take into consideration the respect for existing rights, which the national Govern ment of Hungary maintains, even against its own inte rest. While the Austro-Russian troops were violating the neutrality of the Turkish territory in Wallachia, the General of the Hungarian forces made it his duty to re spect it; he halted his men uyon the frontiers of Tran sylvania, at a moment when, by imitating the enemy's example, and pursuing him into the Turkish territory, he ciuld have put the Auitro-Russians in a condition to do him no furrier mischief. "Pardon me, M. le Ministre, for having troubled you with so many detaiL; but this was for me a sacred duty, which I could not avoid fulfilling. " I am a Hungarian—l owe myself to the cause of my country. lam the representative of her interests— it is my duty to defend them—and I do so, in the inti mate conviction that the interests of all humanity are sharers in our own. " Your own feelings towards the cause I represent are a pledge that you will give a favouraqle reception to these lines. " Be pleased, M. le Ministre, to accept, &e. " Comte LADISLAS TELEKI. " M. de Tocqville, Minister of Foreiga Affairs, &c." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING•) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. ASII EON . - UNDER-LYNE POLICE, MARKETS, &c. The Lords' amendments to this Bill were agreed to. DUBLIN, ASLIB° URNE, SLANE, &c., ROAD BILL. Oa the proposition that this Bill should be read the third time, Mr. REYNOLDS opposed it on the ground that it was highly detrimental to the interests of the citizens of Dublin, and that it would not obviate the tolls which they now were obliged to pay. He therefore moved that the Bill be read a third time that day six months. Atter a few words from Lord HANEY VANE and Lord GALWAY, both of whom stated that Mr. Reynolds had opposed the Bill as much as possible, and used all these arguments before the Committee, the Rouse divided, when there appeared— For the third reading... .Against it Majority for the Bill ... TEIRD READINGS. The following Bills were read a third time and passed, several amendments being proposed and agreed to. East Lancashire Railway Acts Amendment and De viation Bill ... 65 .• • -57 Irish South-Eastern Railway (Amendment of Acts: Bill. _ . Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (Extension of Ashton Branch of Clifton Branch, &c.) Bill. BANKRUPTCY LAW.

Mr. BECKET DENISON presented a petition from the bankers and merchants of Leeds for the same purpose. CERTIFICATES (BANKRUPTCY) BILL. Mr. B. DENISON and kr. LYTTELTON presented pet tions against this Bill. POOR-LAW UNIONS. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD presented several peti• 'ions from different parishes, praying for alterations in he limits of the poor-law unions. T.FIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1849. BANKRUPTCY BILL. Sir J. WALMSLEY presented a petition from Liver pool, signed by the Mayor and a number of the bur gesses of Liverpool, praying for the passing of the new Bankruptcy Bill. SMITHFIELD MARKET. Lord DUDLEY STUART presented a petition from a large number of shopkeepers in Oxford-street, praying for the abolition of Smithfield Market. IRISH POOR-LAW. Mr. lIORSMAN gave uctice that on Friday, on the motion for going into a Committee of Supply, ho should call the attention of the House to the evidence taken before the Select Committee on the Irish poor-law. ECCLESIASTICAL REFORM. The HON. ME - .llnEa also gave notice that on an early day he should call the attention of the House to certain matters (as we understood) connected with ecclesiastical reform. PALACE COURT. Mr. B. OSBORNE said a Bill for the abolition of the Palace Court stood for the second reading to-day, and as it was a matter of some importance, he wished to know what course the Government intended to take with re spect to it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, very early in the session he had stated, in reply to a question, that the subject of the Palace Court was under the consideration of the Government, and that a Bill with respect to it would be introduced as speedily as possible. He had now to state that early next week he hoped to be in a condition to move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law for the recovery of small debts, and that he should introduce a clause rela tive to the abolition of the Palace Court. If the Bill should be read a second time, he would move for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire whe ther the officers holding appointments in that Court were entitled to any, and what, compensation. Sir F. THESIGER, wished to know, after the state ment of the Attorney-General, whether the Noble Lord (Lord D. Stuart) intended to press the second reading of his Bill relative to the Palace Court. ago Lo t r o d t p he G D. , STUART oerumesnati,d which hpet wasa question answered in directly, and he t h en gave notice of hisintention time to bring in a Bill, and having done so, he now thought it 1 his duty to persevere with it. TRANSPORTATION TO VAN DIEDIRITS LAND. In reply to Mr. EWART, Mr. HAWES stated that a dispatch had been received from Sir William Denison which contained a request on the part of the authorities, that no more transports might be sent to Van Diemen's Land, not on the ground of any misconduct on the part of the transports, but be cause the labour market was overstocked. The Ho nourable Member also stated that inthethe cou ta rs b e le o o f f a few e days he should lay certain papers on House which would give every in formationonthLs subject TREATMENT OF ERNEST JONES. In reply to Mr. F. O'CONNOR, Sir G. GREY, who was indistinctly heard, was un derstood to say that complaints had been received from Ernest Jones and other prisoners, and that, in instituted inquiries, of these complaints, he had inquiries, the result of which was that all the prisoners, with the exception of Ernest Jones, and another prisoner had expressed themselves satisfied with their treatment. The regulations of the prison had been placed in the hands of each prisoaer. Under them prisoners were allowed to communicate with their friends once in three months, and Ernest Jones had availed himself of that privilege. With regard to petitioning Parliament, the prisoner had exercised that privilege by sending a letter on the sub ject of a petition to Parliament. CAPTAIN ROSS'S EXPEDITION. Mr. C. ANSTEY wished to know from her Majesty's Government whether en instruction had been given to Sir John Ross, founded upon information received by the Admiralty, to examine the harbour and coasts of Jones's and Smith's Sound? Ho also wished to direct the attention of the Government to the circumstance, and to ask if they had afforded to the American Commo dore, now about to sail in quest of Sir J. Franklin, not only the inetruetiono issued 19 Sir J, Ross, but also those communications which he (Mr. Anstey) believed had been addressed to the Admiralty by naval officers and others competent to communicate information and advice, without regard to the question whether or not the Admiralty had felt it their duty to act upon such in formation and advice, in order that the United States Government might have all the information it was possible for our Government to give them so as to aid them in that enterprise. Admiral DUNDAS was understood to say that all the documents referred to in the Hon. Member's ques tion had been made public. CANADA. Mr. B. COCHRANE. wished to ask two questions of the Noble Lord at the head of her Majesty's Govern ment, viz., whether he (Mr. B. Cochrane) understood the Noble Lord to say that there was a reward of .5001. offered for M. Lafonts•.ine. Lord JOHN RUSSELL—No.—(Laughter.) Mr. B. COCHRANE would then ask whether the Government had received the seventy-seven or seventy nine addresses which had been presented to Lord Elgin by the people of Canada, on the Rebellion Losses' Bill, and if they had any objection to lay them on the table of the house ? Mr. HAVVES said he did not think the addresses to which the Hon. Member referred had been received; the only ones that had been received were those pre- sented by Sir Allan M‘Nah, who had come over to this country (as we understood), and they were answered in the ordinary way. COUNTY COURTS. Mr. MITCHELL be gged to ask the Attorney-General whether his Bill relating to the County Courts gate a plaintiff a power of seeing a defendant either in the court of the district where the plaintiff, or where the debtor, resided. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL complained that the Hon. Member had not given him notice of his intention to ask that question. He (the Attorney-General) de clined giving an answer to a particular case. WESTERN PACKET STATION IN IRELAND. Mr. W. HERBERT begged to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Government whether any steps had been taken towards a Commission for establishing a western packet station on any part of the coast of Ireland? Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that the Government had not taken any steps towards appointing a commission, though they had received communications on the subject__ __ BOARD OE TRADE RETURNS. Mr. LABOUCI £ERE rose to explain a delay which had taken place in the publication of the returns of the B)ard of Trade. His answer was that those returns were not printed at the Board of Trade, but by the printer of the Hon se of Commons. The officers of the Customs and the Board of Trade were anxious to avoid error in making up the accounts in question, which might account for the delay. Mr. DISRAELI trusted the Right Hon. Gentleman would not consider him guilty of any want ofcourtesy in making the staterE ent he did the other night to the House, seeing that he was present when he made it. He was at all times most unwilling to press too hardly upon public officers for public a eturns; but,considering that the Bud get was originally appointed for the 15th inst.; consider ing, also, that he had given notice of a motion with re• spect to the state of the nation, he thought, that it would not be conceived Cuat be acted unreasonably in pressing for these returns.—(Hear, hear.) He should be very much obliged if the Bight Hon. Gentleman would state when the new sys , ;em pursued with respect to the pro duction of public documents came into force, and what was its nature, as he was perfectly ignorant as to its nature and purpose. Mr. LABOUCIiURE said the Honourable Gentleman might have observed in the last returns the names of several new articles and other information with respect to the export of British manufactures and their declared value. PARTY PROCESSIONS. Mr. MONSELL inquired if it was the intention of the Government to introduce any Bill with respect to party - Lord J. nussan said tho subject was under the consideration of his Noble Friend the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland (as we understood)._ POL ITICAL PRISONERS. Mr. HINDLEY said he had received a communication from Manchester stating that the political prisoners lately committed were required to wear marks, which, considering their offence, he thought was most un called for and unnecessary. He hoped the Right lion. Baronet would make a communication to the visiting magistrates to put an end to such a proceeding. bir G. GREY .said he knew nothing of the facts of the case, but he supposed the persons referred to were pri soners who had be n transported for life for conspiring against :the Queen and the Constitution. If so, they were treated according to the regulations of the gaol in which they were confined; but he should feel it his duty to recommend the visiting magistrates to relax the regulation with respect to wearing marks in the case of the particular prisoners referred to. Mr. 110 BUCK asked if there would be any objec tion to lay a copy of the regulation on the table in order that they might see whether the present Government or their predecessors had given their countenance to the regulations referred to? Were they submitted for the approval of the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment? Sir G. GREY replied that all the orders were sub mi:t.A for the approval of the Secretary of State. Marks were used where prisoners were in association more for their mutual advantage than upon the purpose of punish ment.—(ilear, hear.) No recent regulations had been made on the subject. CAN ADA. Mr. B. COCHRANE gave notice that on Thursday , he should move for a copy of the order i❑ Council offer ing a reward of 5001. for the apprehension of Lafontaine. FRENCH AND AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENTS. In reply to Mr. TrumE, Lord J. RUSSELL said, that his Noble Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had communi cated to the French Government, that if they wished to explain their conduct they might have an opportunity of doing so by the production of any documents that might bear upon the question arising out of the recent proceed ings at Vienna. In reply he had received an intimation that the French Government had no objection to lay the communication to which the Hon. Gentleman's question had reference before this Government. It would be for his Hon. Friend to say, whether it would be expedient to lay the documents before the House. Sir R. PEEL presented a petition in favour of the Bill for legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister from 500 persons in favour of home colonization, and from certain schoolmasters in favour of arbitration. THE SCOTTISH MARRIAGE AND REGISTRA- TION BILLS. Mr. HUME said the Noble Lord had postponed se- veral Bills. Would he not do well to withdraw these Bills, which were much objected to in Scotland? Lord J. RUSSELL could not reply to the question during the absence of the Lord Advocate. THE CASE OF SMITH O'BRIEN, MEAGHER M'MANUS, AND DONOHUE. Mr. NAPIER then rose to present a petition from Mr. Smith O'Brien and Messrs. Meagher, O'Donohue, and M'Manus. The Hon. Gentleman was about to state the nature of the petition, when he was interrupted by Lord J. RUSSELL, who said he wished to submit to the Right Hon. Gentleman the Speaker—the Hon. Gentleman having read the names of the petitioners— whether these persons being attainted of high treason, the House will admit the petition of such persons. After a pause, The Speaker said the House had already received one petition from these persons, and he oould not call to mind an instance in which a petition of a similar nature had been refused.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. NAPIER was proceeding to read the petition, when Mr. DISRAELI said he should like to have the opinion of her Majesty's Attorney-General on the point. The ATTORNEY•GENERAL rose, and was met with loud cries of "Order, oder." Sir E. B. ROCHE submitted to the House whether the Speaker having decided the question it ought not to be considered by the House as final; particularly when they considered the situation of these unfortunate men. —(Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER observed that he had only informed the House what his impression was, and that he had no recollection of an instance in which such a petition had been refused to be received. There could be no doubt that it was perfectly competent for the House to decide for itself which course it would pursue.—(Hear.) Mr. D'ISRAELI observed that if he had thought that the Speaker had given a final decision on the subject, he should not have said one word with respect to it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he had ap plied to the Speaker on the subject of the petition, and after hearing his opinion that he knew of no instance in which such npetition had been refued, he had done the best he could in the emergency to ascertan if such a petition had been entertained by the House, and he could find no precedent for doing so. Mr. NAPIER said that he had only received the pe titiontnGh o that tnbie been a ee innt tfewidwoaanasehad thoughttut ah r e s ash subject bt them, j , be,yac thatnt todhfethteh their irpetitioners consideringc acase e i ts tha t h O oh f u justiceimportancel Abe fully had a o a n a si m d e a r l da danadftethrawthtahteythmatigLhetarbneedheGaredntaktrathaenhbaard.saHide he thought it his duty to present the petition pet t i o tio t m e ttorney opblreesenteat . Sir F. TIIESIG t h o u ght r it would be far better s th h a o t ul h d is p H os o tp u o . n a e nd th N e the Member for Dublin tr o oe f spt tr petition, as the respect to Mr. Sruith resolution s that case was a peculiar one. , O'Brien the House had c W om it e hn as he had been attainted of high treason, vacant, and a new writ was moved for. Under thaetsewcir cumstances, the House being aware that Mr. S. O'Brien had been attainted a traitor, thought it desirable that they should not receive a petition from him until they had been informed that there was nothing informal in admitting him to petition the House. He thought if his Honourable and Learned Friend would postpone the presentation of the petition till tomorrow, it would be the best course for him to pursue. Mr. C. ANSTEY trusted his Hon. and Learned Friend would persevere in the presentation of the peti tion. He thought the case of the petitioners ought to be fully considered. Sir ROBERT PEEL said there was a specialty in this case which would warrant the House in receiving the petition, even it there were doubts as to its admission under ordinary circumstances; because the House was about to consider an Act that evening which stated in its preamble that doubts had arisen as to the prerogative of the Crown in the cases of convicted traitors. tinder the circumstances of the MSC, he (Sir R. Peel) thought the petitioners were entitled to approach the House. Mr. J. STEUART said that the petition was cer tainly prevented under extraordinary circumstances, and it was impossible to consider the rights of the peti tioners, without at the same time considering the Chtt" racter of the Bill with which the House bad to deal that night. That Bill proposed to substitute another punishment for that of death, and if this peti tion were received they must come to the extraor dinary conclusion that the prisoners desired to be subjected to the extreme and not to the mitigated punish ment.—(Laughter.) He hoped his Hon. and Learned Friend would give notice of his resolution, and defer pre senting his petition to the House till to-morrow. Mr. BRICiHT thought that, under the circumstances, the petitioners ought to be at liberty to approach the House. Mr. H. GRATTAN said that the House of Commons ought to be indebted to Mr. Smith O'Brien, because he had, by the absurd proceedings that had called upon him the censure of the Government, made insurrection vulgar and unfashionable. There seemed to be some mystery in this affair, and that the Government had entirely misled the public. A reward of 5001. was offered for the appre hension of Mr. Smith O'Brien. But what was really the case? Why, this reward, instead of being paid by the Go vernment—they had the power to pay whatever they chose, and let the lion. and Lear ned Member for Newark make the most of it. Did they choose to pay this money? Certainly not. The Attorney-General paid the 5001. —(heer, hear.) Did this seem to be constitutional ? Mr. HERRIES said that this was a question of con siderabie difficulty. Whatever plan they might adopt respecting this petition, much difficulty must be in curred. He did not see that there was anything in the position of a person convicted of high treason which justified the presentation of a petition to this House. Supposing the case of any other person who had been convicted of a capital crimp, would the House deem it right to receive a petition to be heard at the bar of the House by counsel. He conceived that such a petition could not possibly be entertained. There seemed to him to be this further difficulty, that if the petition from these persons was to be received, a petition against the sentence for any act might be presented, and thus the whole law might be obviated. He thought, therefore, that time should be taken to consider a matter which he could not but consider to be one of great importance. Mr. COCKBURN conceived that this petition ought to be received. It seemed to him that a person convicted of any special act had a right to appeal against an unjust :decision, pro vided the deed ot which he was said to have committed and of which he had been convicted, was a special deed. —(fleer.) For what were they proposing to legislate about, simply to altar by an expost.facto law the condition of persons who were unable to help themselves.—(Hear, hear and cheers.) The Bill might have been ono to ag gravate instead of to diminish the vigour of the law, and would any one say that supposing such had been the case the persons affected by it would not have hed a right to petition against its enactment.—(hear and loud cheers.) It seemed to him, therefore, that it was but consistent with Ecciity and justice to receive the petition. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he conceived that by far the better plan would be to come to a present decision. The memorialists had put in a most unusual claim to he heard, and he should be one of the last to refuse or dis claimed the right to petition, and as it would seem that this petition was presented against a particular act, and not generally as from convicted traitors or felons, he should waive his objections to the reception of the peti tion.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. NAPIER was proceeding to read the petition, when it was decided that that could only be done by the Clerk of the House, by whom it was accordingly read. The petitioners protested against any ex post facto legis lation, and prayed to be heard by counsel at the bar of the House. Mr. ANSTEY wished to ask the Government, with reference to the Bill which was coming before the House, whether the sentence upon Mr. S. O'Brien and his com panions had pass e d th e great sea l, or whetherit had been authorised by the royal sign manual? Sir GEORGE GREY replied that no warrant had actually passed the Great Seal, and that the prisoners were actually in the same position that they were in when the writ of error was decided in the House ot Lords.—(flear,l , ear.) TRANSPORTATION FOR TREASON (IRE- LAND) BILL. Sir. GEORGE GREY then rose to move the second reading of this Bill. The object of it was to remove all possible doubt which could be entertained as to the right of the Crown, or as to the right of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as the representative of the Crown in that country, to commute the sentence of capital punishment in the cases of those persons who had been convicted of high treason and sentenced to death in pursuance of that conviction, and upon whom the Crown might be disposed to extend its mercy, with the usual condition of trans portation. The circumstances of the case were without • precedent, and he would only say that no instance had come within his own knowledge, and he would venture to say within that of any other gentleman, of persons convicted of high treason who bad their sentence com muted, refusing the mercy of the Crown with the usual condition of transportation.—(Hear, hear.) After the sentence upon those four persons in Ireland had been confirmed by the highest court of judicature in this kingdom, it became the duty of the Government to consider what way the sentence should be carried out. He did not wish to enter into the full merits of the case; he agreed with au Hon. Gentleman that they had nothing to do with the circumstances which preceded the actual conviction.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet then read the reply of the Lord Lieutenant to a deputation praying for a mitigation of the sentence, to show the magnitude of the offence, and the necessity of its being marked by severe punishment He held in his band a copy of a letter addressed, on the sth of June, by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland to the Governor of Richmond Bridewell, that the full sentence would not be carried out, but the prisoners in his charge would be transported for life. On this communication being made to the prisoners they protested against the right of the Lord-Lieutenant to assume the functions of the Crown, and he (Sir George Grey) was prepared to show that they were yet under the penalty of the sentence that had been passed upon them, and it was only by the favour of the Crown that a mitigated sentence was pro posed to be passed upon tlietn. This Bill was submitted with the view of removing all doubt as to the legality of the proceedings that had taken place between these unhappy men, not because they had any doubt upon the subject, but in order that there should not be a shadow of reason for supposing that thei n L pgr o et r hs d een L pt r i ui e vn u i t dl e eeg n r e a s n oe t nf h tme a n d e cr n ee y o f tot for been ee fully prisoners, justified who i n w e e x r t e e n a d t heaviest species of felony that could be committed. Ho would not say a word more, but at once move the second reading of the Bill. Mr. NAPIER said with regard to this particular Bill, he did not exactly agree with his Hon. Friend the Member for Newark. As he represented the case to the House, those men were under sentence of death, and while the Government were desirous to commute that sentence to a sentence of a lower grade, that they were insisting on 9. legal right to receive the sentence of death. He (Mr. Napier) admitted they were under sentence of death, and that the Crown had the power of carrying that sentence into execution; but it was conceded now on the part of the C rown , t h at whatever o th e r punishment might be proper for this offence, it was not a case, under all the circumstances, in which the sentence of death ought to be carried into execution.—(Hear, hear.) Then came the question, supposing, in point of law, the Crown had the power of transporting for life or for a term of years, thee he admitted it might become a very impor tant question which of those secondary punishments ought to be selected by the Crown as the moat proper one under all the circumstances of the case. The Learned Law-officers shook their heads, but perhaps there was not much in that.--(Laughter.) He regretted that he had not an opportunity of looking into the law upon the matter before the House. He concluded by moving that the prisoners be heard by counsel at the bar of the House. Mr. JOIIN O'CONNELL seconded the motion. He supported it upon constitutional grounds.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to remind the House that thougb the Government might mercifully abstain from putting the ancient law in force with respect to the seizing of the property of persons so convicted, the,heaviestconsequences would fall upon his children,who would be thegreatest sufferers, inasmuch as the moment he was sent abroad certain policies on his life, in favour of his family would fall to the ground. The argument might appear 1 a weak one ; but, nevertheless, it was a most important one to the family of the unfortunate man. He cordially supported the amendment. no ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose to object to the amendment, and was [LEFT SPEARING.] HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock. LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL. Lord PORTMAN laid on the table the report of the Select Committee on this Bill. The Committee recom mended that the present Bill should not be proceeded with, as it did not proceed upon the principle of giving equal protection:to landlord, tenantond reversioner. The Committee particularly objected to the arbitration clauses of the Bill. After a fow words from the Earl of STRADBROKE, ,he report was received. PETITIONS. Lord FEVERSHAM presented petitions from York, Morthallerton, Thirsk, and other places, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, complaining of the depressed con dition of agriculture. The Bishop of NORWICH presented a petition pray. ing for home colonization. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from Water ford, praying for an e ffi cient Health of Towns' Bill. REAL PROPERTY COMMISSION. Lord BROUGHAM asked when it was probable the Real Property Commissioners would make their report ? Lord BEAUMONT sa id t h at Commission had made considerable progress, and that in a short time their la bours would be terminated, and that they would be enabled to submit such a plan of general registration as would meet the evils complained of, but he feared they would not be able to make the report before the close of the present session of Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM asked if they intended to make a report of all or several reports successively, and if one report, whether it could not be made so early as to be printed and be in the hands of the Judges at the commencement of the long vacation? Lord BEAUMONT admitted that it was desirable the report should b e p resente d as spee dil y as p oss ibl e , but the time of its presentation was uncertain. LEASEHOLD TENURES (IRELAND) BILL. Lord CAMPBELL in moving the third reading of this Bill, said the tenure by leasehold renewable for ever which existed in Ireland did not exist in: England, and was even more objectionable than, .copyhold tenure in England. He should move the omission of the second clause which exempted the estates of a noble family in Ireland from the operation of this Bill, as the rights of that family were fully protected without that clause. He also objected to exempt the Irish Society from the operation of the Bill, but he would consent to the introduction of a clause maintaining their present special covenants. Lord REDESDALE was convinced that this Bill was not in a state in which it ought to pass into a law, anl he, therefore, moved that it be read a third time this day six months. Lord BROUGHAM considered this was a very im portant Bill, and he desiderated an opportunity of look ing at it again. -a ith*a view to its alteration and amend ment. This House was the proper place for discussing this Bill, and he thought it would be expedient to refer it to a Select Committee. Lord CAMPBELL said the Bill had been introduced into the other House last year; had been before the Parliament for more than twelve mouths. It had been deliberated upon again and again; it was most ardently desired by the public. If their Lordships chose to throw it out, he must submit to the mortification, but he should oppose any further delay. The Earl of WICKLOW believed that the Bill could not work as it at present stood. lie had supported it heretofore, but since the alterations proposed he could not support it, and he thought they ought to adjourn the further consideration of it, in order to have time to con sider the new clauses about to be proposed. The Marquis of DONEGAL had claimed to be protected from the operatics of this Bill, inas much as he had, under two Acts of Parliament ext-ended large sums of money, but he was content with the Bill as at present filtered, although he should prefer being exempted from its operation. Lord CAMPBELL thought the Noble Marquis would be amply indemnified, inasmuch as under the Bill, he would be entitled to full compensation, and those who were to award that compensation would be bound to take all the circumstances into their consideration in awarding that compensation. Lord LYNDLIURbT proposed the introduction of words which should secure full compensation calculated upon the marketable value of the land.—(Hear.) Lord CAMPBELL said that the amendment proposed by his Noble and Learned Friend only carried out the meaning of the clause, and therefore he did no t o bj ec t to the introduction of those words. Lord STANLEY gave the Noble and Learned Lord credit for endeavouring to meet the obligations which had been made, but he could not congratulate him on the success of his attempts. The amendments did not meet the objections either of the Noble Marquis or the Irish Society. Nothing could be more objectionable than a series of amendments proposed on the third read ing of a Bill, and seeing the two Noble and L( arned Lords had expressed their dissatisfaction with the Bill could their Lordships venture to pass it as it at present stood. He believed the Bill would have an infinitely better chance of passing if it had been permissory instead of compulsory, and if it were possible to recommit the Bill, he should wish to see it done, but if that could not be done, he should vote against the third reading with this understanding, that if the Bill should be rejected, and the Government would intro duce a Bill of a permissive, not of a compulsory character, he would desire that such Bill should pass with the least possible delay. Lord BROUGHAM contended that it was perfectly possible to recommit a Bill on the motion for the third reading. Lora MONTEAGLE doubted when a Bill had been ordered to be read a third time whether a Bill could be recommitted. Earl GREY said that there had been several cases in which a Bill had been recommitted under such circum stances. Lord CAMPBELL objected to referring the Bill to a Select Committee; that motion had been made and re• jetted. The Bill had been carefully drawn, and the principle of the Bill was that it should be com pulsory and not permissive. It had been re commen d e d yews ago by Sir M. O'Loghlin at had not been objected to in Lord Devon's report, and unless compulsory it would be merely useless. The Earl of DEVON thought that it could not be collected from anything Sir Michael O'Loglin had said that such an alteration as that proposed by this Bill ought to be compulsory.__ The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the Irish Government were of opinion that the Bill should /be compulsory; and after it had passed the House of Com mons, and had passed this honso up to the third reading, it was rather unfair to make an objection to its principle on the third reading. The Noble Marquis had been expending money under a private Act of Parliament, but ho was completely protected by this Bill, and this mea sure provided ample protection and compensation for all persons affected by this Bill. After a few words from Lord BEAUMONT, in favour of the Bill, and although he would vote against the amendment for reporting the Bill, yet if the amendment were withdrawn, and an amendment proposed for its re committal, he would support that amendment. Lord CAMPBELL would consent to the introduction of words which would seem to every person ample corn pensation. Lord REDESDALE saw no reason to withdraw his amendment. Their Lordships then divided, when there appeared• Contents (for the third reading of the Bill) 38 Not -contents 35 Majority in favour of the third reading —3 The Bill was then read a third time.

At our Corn-exchange yesterday wheat and American flour were in steady request for consumption, and the better qualities of both realised an advance of ld. per bushel and 6d per barrel. In sack flour no change occurred. Oats and oatmeal were quiet, without variation in value. There was a good demand for barley, beans, and peas, and prices were fully supported. Indian corn met a fair sale at a decline of 6d per quarter on yellow, but in white there was ea alteration. To-day prices are steady, and not much doing; a little Indian corn has been sold at 6d per quarter over yester day's rates. Wheat, per 701 b s. d. s. d 8. Q.

Oatmeal continued to move off stessfill in retail quantities, without material change in value. Pith the exception of a f a i r supp l y o f f ore i gn wheat, the arri vaiS from all sources at Liverpool and Runcorn are again pert light. At our ma r k e t thi s morn i ng the best descript i ons of wheat were held for slightly enhanced rates, and prime quali ties of fresh-made flour being in good demand likewise cots' manded an amendment of 6d per sack. Oats were a slow sale, and the turn lower, whilst oatmeal was in moderate request at previous prices.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 14,--To-day We had a very small supply of cattle, which were more easily dis posed of at fully last week's prices. Best ox beef 50s to 5 15 per cwt ; second 45s to 48s per ditto ; cows, bulls, and inferior, 38s to 44s per ditto, sinking the r•ffal. All sold. We had an ordinary supply of sheep, which brought last week's prig' s ; Best aged wethers in wool 6&d per lb, clipped sheep sel to 50 per ditto, sinking the offal. Lambs were more numerous ; any thing good commanded, fair prices, small and bad were not e asily disposed of, and a few of them turned out unsold. Lambs brought from 9s to 19s a-head, according to quality. The numbers were —oxen, 396 ; sheep, 675; lambs, 1,048. Coxes, JUNE 15.—We have to report some arrivals of In dian corn, which, coupled with the fact that the article is drooping at the other side, have had the effect of producing depression in trade, which must be noted dull at a decline of fully 2s 6d:to 5s per ton. The receipts of home grain continue miserably small, those of wheat in the week amounting only to 87 barrels. Several parcels both of prepared Irish and Foreign have changed hands at prices varying little from those of last week. Inferior wheat, principally Egyptian, which is selling at a low figure, is in demand, and interferes with the sale of Indian corn. In oats we have had nothing doing, but prices are nominally the same. We have a mo derate consumptive demand for flour, stocks of w hi c h, b ot h in factors' a n d b a k ers ' h ands are very small. The absence, however, of all speculative inquiry renders the market dull. Coarse flours sell readily. The trade in Indian corn during the week has been dull and restricted at a decline of fully 2s 6d to 5s per ton from the prices of last week. We quote its value 8/ 6s up to 11 15s per ton, the latter figure being scarcely obtained. Indian meal, the sale of which is interfered with by flour made from low quality wheat,is very little looked for Flour—Firsts 14s Od to 14s 6d ; extra 15s Od ;- seconds, 13s Od to 13s 6d; households lOs to 12s; thirds, 8s to 103 per cwt.

Private letters from Rio de Janeiro have been re ceived to the 26th of April. Little had occurred in po litics calling for notice. Business in imports remained limited, principally from the absence of arrivals, but se veral vessels were at the bar, known to have on board over-abundant supplies. Trade with California was on the increase. Shipping for produce was becoming scarcer, and freights exhibited an upward tendency. The rate of exchange was flat at 254 d. The Crane packet was to leave about the beginning of May. The supply of coffee was limited, and it was anticipated that the crop would undoubtedly prove short. Local stock, after a sale of at least 150,000/. by the Treasury at 86, had improved to 87 and 87/, WINDING.
