The object of the present applica tion was, that the Court may compel the defendant to perfect his contract. The LORD CHANCELLOR —I can take no notice--no notice of the Colombian Governinent,-,lnjunction refused. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J UNE 4. CURIOUS DEFENCE.--IVIGGINS V. GEORGE. This was an action to recover atrears of rent, and 275. for work and labour. Mrs. George had occupied a floor in the plaintiff's house, Tottenham-court-road, at the rent of 35 gui neas a year. She removed at eight in the morning, without paying her rent, or telling to what place she had gone. The 275. were fora bonnet. Messrs. MARRYATT and ABRAHAM conducted the plain tiff's case. Mr. COMMON-SERGEANT defended. The price of the bon net was 18s., and had been paid. To the charge of rent the defence was, that Mrs. George was known to the plaintiff to live in a manner which precluded him from recovering at law. Elizabeth Parker, servant to Mrs. George, proved that Gen tlemen visited her mistress. Mrs. Wiggins told her that she could see with half an eye what she was. She paid the 18s. Mr. MAURYATT contended that the lodgings had not been let for an improper purpose. They had been let to a respect able Gentleman before, and this woman having two children, and a servant, was not supposed to require the apartments for any improper purposes. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 41. lls. 10d., being half; a quarter's rent. PREROGATIVE COURT, JUNZ 4. JOHNSON V. JOHNSON. _ _ _ This was a suit instituted by Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson against her husband, Mr. Henry Johnson, for a divorce. The allegation FA in by the Lady contained twelve articles, which pleaded that the parties were married on the 30th of April, 1818, and that by their subsequent cohabition they had two children.— On the 16th October, 1823, she left her husband's house in conseq uence of his bad conduct, and sought protection under the roof of her father, Mr. Stone. Mr. Johnson has since att.' dressed a letter to his wife, praying for her-forgiveness, and con fessing to her that his conduct had been such as described in her allegation. This letter had been put in in evidence, besides the testimony of Mr. Burtinshaw, a surgeon, and three female servants. Dr. DoDsoN prayed for the separation, which was opposed by Dr. J. ADAMS. Sir J. N iciioL said the evidence had fully proved the case, and he was therefore bound to pronounce for the divorce.- PARLI AMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 4. ROYAL COMMISSION. At a quarter before four o'clock the SI!EAKER of the HOUSE of Co stmows, attended by several Member, appeared at the Bar, to hear the Royal Assent given, by Commission, to the Beer Duties Bill, and several Private Bills.

Lord KENYON moved the second reading of the Great Sessions in Wales Bill. Lord CAWDOR objected to the principle of the Bill, and thought that the better course would be, to move thata-. hunible Address be presented to his Majesty, praying him to appoint a Commission to inquire into the state of the Courts of Justice in Wales. A fter some further observations, the Noble • Baron said, that he should not then move the amendment he had suggested, but prOpose that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Their Lordships divided on this amendment, when there ap peared— Contents - - - _ 8• - Not-Contents - - - - 29 Majority against the Amendment - 21 The Bill was then-read a second time.

A man, -even for docking_ a horse, might be brought under th e enactments of this Bill. He would not now further oppose the Bill, but would certainly do so in a future stage. Amrd , SUFFIELD supported the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he should oppose the Bill in a future stage. The Bill was then read a second time. —Adjourned to Wed nesday next.

After a conversation, in which Mr. G It AT T Ali, Sir J. NEW PORT, Mr. J. SrosTit, and Mr. Dawsosr participated, the Petition was ordered to be printed. CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION. - Mr. S. RICE. presented a Petition from the Rotnan Catho lics of Limerick, praying to be admitted to the same rights and privileges as their Protestant fellow-subjects. The Hon: Mem ber begged to observe, that the Petition confined itself to the Catholic Question only, and it was drawn up in language at once so moderate and so decorous, that he had nothing to add or to diminish. The Petitioners stated, that there were pecu liar characteristics to the present time which would allow the Bill for Catholic Emancipation without giving the Protestants any alarm. Sir J. NEWPORT and /kir. C..HUTCIIINSON said a few words in concurrence with the Petitien, observing, that several millions. of his.Majesty:s.subjects were excluded from the pri vileges of the Ceristitatien, without any subttantial reason.— The Petition was ordered to be printed. IRISH. SOCIETIES. Sir j*.' NEWPORT gave notice, that on Thursday next he, . should. move to refer the petition against the Orane Societies established in Ireland, to.the Committee upstairs ; h and also to ineiwre i n what . manner The Act of last S ess i on re l a ti v e to Se cret Societies had - b'etrf enforced.

E Mr. HUM p for a repeal of the I est and C orporat i o n A cts . resen t e d a -petition from th e Dis sen t ers o f Chi chester, praying Mr. J. SMITH remarked, that numerous alerts had been . - made by . distinguished indiViduals in that Muse, at Various times, for the re p ea l o f those Acts. -It was ab sur d t o conti nue them, as they never could be justified by r e a son, After sonic f urt h er o bservations•from :Air. W. SMITH, Sir J. NEwPoitT, ;111r. BRIGHT, and Lord J. Iltssicr,t, the. Petition was ordered to be printed. IMPRESSMENT OF SEAMEN. Mr. HUME presented a Petition froth the Shipwrights, Elozkrnakers, &c. of the'Port of London, against the Impress- • merit of Seamen for the Navy. The Hon. MembEr remarked, that the grievance complained of was a violation of the liberty of the subject, and he sincerely 'hoped, that, in the existing prospect of a long peace, some means would be set on foot to supersede the necessity of so odious a practice, either by entOr ment or any other plan that might be devised, the present system was a blot upon the country. Ile would say nothing further on the subject then, as on the 19th instant he meant to bring the matter formally before the llouse. Sir I. COFFIN said, that in early life he had had a deal of experience in the way of impressment ; his head had been sliced like a Cheshire cheese while engaged in the service--(laughter); yet he felt convinced that it was the best mode of manning the Dia vy, and the sailors thought so too. The Petition was ordered to be printed. • RESTORATION OF SCOTCH PEERAGES A Bill for the restoration of four forfeited Scotch Peerages having been sent down from the Lords, Mr. PEEL rose for the purpose of suggesting that the House should proceed to consider them immediately. H e begged to state to the House, that in the case of the Earl of Marr it was proposed to dispense with the obligation enforced by the Act of James 1., which compelled every Peer, within a month after the restoration of his rights, to' take certain oaths at West minster, but by reason of the Earl of Al errs great age and infir mities, thi s was rendered almost imrossible, arid there was therefore a dispensing clause, which would, he hoped, form no Obstacle to the passing of the Bill. Ile therefore moved that the Bill - should be read a first time. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that it was with great satisfaction that he seconded the motion of the Right llon.'Gentleman : the question of the policy of those attainders was not now before the House, but he was glad that the titles and honours were to be re stored to those families. With regard to the Earl of Marr, he was desirous of expressing the high esteem and veneration that he entertainer towards that distinguished Nobleman, for the honour and integrity that regulated his conduct, and he regret ted that the infirmities attendant on his old age should have rendered the dispensing clause necessary. The bill then passed through all its stages, and Mr. Brog den was appointed to reconvey it to the Lords. ATTORNEYS' TAX. Mr. SCARLETT presented a Petition from the Attornics and . Conveyancers of Newcastle, praying for -the reduction of the tax on attornies.—Ordered to lie on the table. TRANSPORTATION ACT. Mr. PEEL moved the Order of the Day for the second read ing of the Transportation Bill. The Hon. Gent. observ ed, that its object lras to continue the law, which would other wise expire at the end of the Session. H e would also state to the House, that arrangements had been made with the authorities in New South Wales to render transportation a very different punishment to that which it had been hitherto considered, by making distinctions between convicts on their arrival in that country proportionate to the offences for which they had been transported, as, at present, transportation was a very unequal punishment. Mr. SCARLETT objected to this part of the Bill, as it vested in the Executive Government a power to alter the sen tence of the Judge,'which he thought was a power that it ought not to be intrusted with. Mr. PEEL replied, that the ( sentence of the Court was no more than " Transportion beyond seas," without any comment on it. The present Bill added no additional power to the crime. Persons like Mr. Connolly, for example, should not be treated in the same manner with persons of no education ; and, at all events, there should be some qualification in the punishment. SCARLETT explained. Mr. WILMOT HORTON said, that no convict could be subject to more punishment than that to which he was already subjected. Under the late regulations, the severity of trans portation would he increased, and persons transported scattered over the island, from the worst part of New South Wales. The public should be informed that this subject had received the minute and deliberate attention of the Government. lir RAE said, he understoOd that some few years ago convirts were sent from Bot , .ny Bay to Norfolk Island. Was that syStem to be revived ? Mr. WILAIOT HOUTON—Not revived, but placed under new regulations directed to make transportation .a certain secondary . punishment. After a few words from Mr. Alderman WOOD, Mr.. Caivrs, and Mr. PEEL, the Bill was read a first time, several clauses were agreed to, the lt eport,was brought up, and ordered to be received to-morrow. IREI,AND--UC.I.TION COMMISSION. Sir JOHN NEWPORT begged to ask if the Commission for examining into the state of education in Ireland was to be speedily sent to that country ? Mr. PEEL said there was no reason why the CoMmiSsion should not be speedily prepared, and offered for the signature of his Majesty. The whole of the object of the Honourable Baronet's address would be •enmbraced in the. inquiry of the Commission. - Mr. S. RICE hoped all interested persons, would be ex cluded from the Commission. Mr. PEEL said the Hon. Member would find the names , highly satisfactory. NEW CHURCHES. On the motion that the Report of the New Churches Bill be brought up, Col. DAVIES objected to it as unnecessary, and a waste of public money. If the sum proposed were to be voted, he had much rather apportion it to those clergymen who were now so ill paid. He should therefore move, that the Report be brought up this day six months. Mr. LEYCESTER said, we wanted good preachers, not large churches; and when the people called for bread, they re ceived but stones. The incumbents should not have the pa tronage of the churches ; and churches, he was sure, would not be wanting if a better arrangement took place ; in fact they would rise around us like exhalation. He objected to the re ception of the Report ; it imposed an unfair buythen on our Dissenting brethren, merely to add to the dignity or gratify the cupidity of the church. , Mr. COOPER contended, that this grant was by no means profligate, as its object was to provide places for the moral im provement Of the people under the principles of the'Estsblished Church. If Dissenters were allowed seats in this House, they should have j u dgment and delicacy enough to keep their pecu liar—(tCtrhieesloasft remark of the‘ Question !") i‘ir. sentiments ll ui to E said their he e own wa b was surprised at Hon. Member. The Dissenters paid taxes as well as others, and should not allow themselves to be fleeced of their property by the Church. The Hon. Member seemed to think that no man but a High Churchman should deliver his opinions in this House. He ( Mr. Hume) considered the grant a , profligate grant, because it was not applied to the general use of the State, but only for the advantage of the few. All unequal taxes were unjust, and on that score the grant was profligate.— Money would not produce an increase to the Church ; on the contrary, the richer the Clergy the less they generally labour. Those who did.most for the good of religion were those whose zeal prompted them to build churches, and give mural instruc tion almost gratis. The fee simple of the Church property was already near two hundred millions, and they, that was to say the House, should see how that was appropriated before they were ready to give fresh grants. With such an income as the Chttreb enjoyed it was unfair to call on the Dissenters (one half of the whole population) to vote for churches for 'the well paid Protestant other half of the people. He would not hesi tate, and he was satisfied that Members on the OppOsite Side of the House would agree with him, that if the vicarage of churches was' given to those who built ,them, ,there would be no need of contributing a single penny of the public mo ney to such a purpose. The money paid for the very seats in some churches was amply sufficient for building churches and defraying all expences attendant on them. This was the case of the wealthier churches. The religion of the country was not improved by these grants, neither by the former million nor .the present 500,0001. It increased patronage—it did not benefit religion ; and that increase ,of patronage was peculiarly dangerous and objectionable. It had been said by a great men, that there could not be a more dangerous instru ment in the hands of the Government than a servile priest hood. This object, and this alone, was promoted by the present grants; Ile would be glad to see clergymen Fold their parishes by their good behaviour, and not by the tenure by which they at preset - J..llddh tem. This was te opnion o Alem hers on the opposite side out of doors; h it bui. was f wellknown that Members . were wont to speak one language out of the House and another in it.—(Hear, and a laugh.)—On these grounds t would support the motion of his Hon. Friend. Mr. C. WILSON supported the Bill, and con t e nded that . orl t the measure was highly necessary and accepta ble to a ma jori ty j o f the people of the country. There wa s ne more salutary PRICE SEVENPEN9E:_. mode of applying the 'public money than by the application of it to the tiupport of the religion of the country. .Mr. bEYCESTER explained. Mr. (GURNEY was apprehensive that these would be un equally and partially distributed. The CHA NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied,- that . this money would be subject to the provisions of the Act under which the former grant of a million was made disposable. Its dis tribution. Would be placed in the hands of Commissioners pur suant to that Act, who would exercise their discretion in 'lend ing in sonic instances—in giving a part and the parish giving a part also ; and in those cases where the whole sum should be given or withheld, and generally to guard against the appre hension of abuse thrown out by the Hon. Member. Sir J. NEWPONT complained that the majority of the churches in Ireland were built, not by Parliamentary gift, but by Parliamentary loan, which was repaid by taxation on Roman Catholic parishioncrs.—(llear, hear, hear I)—It was most unconstitutional and unfair to grant and: extend this money in the shape of a gift• to a Protestant population, and place it as a tax on Protestant Dissenters and Roman Catho lies, who had no interest or advantage in the loan. Wheia the subject of education was introduced it was said, let the object be effected by contributions ; if the people were sa tished that they wanted churches as much as education, they would then do so; but the truth was, no real necessity existed. The egt.riltry boasted of its liberal principles ; but, in our treat ment of Catholics and Dissenters, we were worse than thernost bigotted nations of the Continent. Mr. V. FITZGERALD supported the Bill, and defended it from the charge of inconsistency imputed to it by the Hon. Member for Waterford. . Mr. GRATTAN agreed in the sentiments of his 'Hon. Friend (Sir J. Newport). Mr. PHILLIPS had not before offered his opinions on this subject; but it struck him very forcibly, tkat the petition which was last night presented by the Hon. Member for Kerry; Con tained matter peculiary applicable to the present question That petition etatcd that the Roman Catholics of Ireland were without churches, or houses of worship ; now it appeared to him extremely unjust to oblige those persons to pay for the erection of buildings to which they did not resort, whilst they were themselves left wholly unprovided with accommodation for their religious Worship. This was the very extreme of illiberality. Notwithstanding what had been said of the bigotry of France, he would say that it was not exceeded by such illiberality as this, which was a shame both to the Parliament and the Church. To add to the abuse, this 500,0001. was to be expended where it was not wanting. Mr. .MONCIi. was desirous of offering a few words before the House proceeded to a division. Hews as anxious as any person could be to support the Protestant Establishment for, as long as a religion was supported by the State, he would .be the last man to lend himself to the spoliation of the means ne cessary to maintain it suitably. At the same time he could not approve of the conduct we adopted towards Dissenters, and of the unfairness of the burden imposed upon theM in con tributing to the building of our churches. As an instance of the advantage derivable from free contrihutions to such pUrPoses he would mention Moorfields, which was a most commodious house of worship, and one into which no person, no matter of what religion, could enter without feelings of veneration. He (Mr. Monck) would approve of the plan of giving the patronag:e of such houses of worship, which they themselves built, to Me thodists and sectaries. By this means they might be included in the Church, for the Twenty-nine Articles were so general as not to prevent Methodists or Arians, or any other sectaries from being included in it. As to the present measure, there was no immediate necessity for it, and it might at all events be with propriety postponed till the next Session of Parliament. The gallery was then cleared for a division. The numbers were— - 42 For the Amendment - 9 1 Against it Al a jority - - - 33 The Report was then brought up, and the Bill read a third time. CQCOA N UTS BI LL. The Report of the (;ocoa Nuts Bill was brought up, and or dered to be taken into consideration to-morrow (this day). NEWFOUNDLAND' JURISDICTION BILL. The Iteport of the Newfoundland Jurisdiction BA was brought up, and the Bill was recommitted. Several amendments were agreed to, and the report was or dered to be received to-morrow. COMBINATION LAWS. The Report of the Combination Laws Repeal Bill was. re ceived, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. QUALIFICATION OF JURORS BILL. Mr. 11 ES TER N postponed, until Monday se'nnight, the further consideration of the Report on the Qualification of Jurors Bill. _ _ CRIPPS was extremely desirous that this useful Bill should pass this Session. Sir E. KNATCHBULL did not concur in the opinion or wish of the lion. Gentleman who had spoken last. Ile thought it would be more material by permitting it to stand over until next Session. Mr. Alderman WOOD thought the utility of the measure was so obvious as to require its speedy adoption. Report postponed till Monday se'nnight. MASTERS AND WORKMENS' BILL. The Masters and Worlimens' Bill passed through a Com mite!. The Bill was reported, with some verbal amendments, to the House. The Report was brought up, read a second time, engrossed, and•ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. HORSES SLAUGHTERING BILL. The Horses Slaughtering Bill went through a Committee pro forma. On the motion that the report should be brought up, Mr. WYNN objected to the measure. It was quite absurd to suppose that every man was to be compelled to keep a journal of every feed of corn he gave his horse, which was one of the wise provisions of this Bill. Mr. SMITH thought asses ought to be included in the pre visions of the Bill. Mr. MARTIN said the bill might be defective; its provisions •might possibly be imperfect, and the wit of the Hon. Member might, perhaps, be deemed by . some peculiarly pungent. To him, however, it seemed that it would be much more worthy of the good feeling usually displayed by the Hon. Member to substitute a remedy for that which was defective, than to labour a joke for the entertainment of the unthinking. Mr. SMITH explained, that nothing was farther from his intention than to undervalue the humanity. of the lion. Mem ber for Galway, but he thought this was not a subject fit for legislative enactment. Mr. JOHN SMITH conceived that the evil of the injurious treatment of horses was attributable to the want of education of the lower orders pf the community. Mr. MARTIN thought that so m e l eg i s l a ti ve measure shouldbe adopted, to cause the immediate slaughtering of the horses by those persons to whom they were consigned, when qualified for no further exertion. The Bill, with its amendment, was reported to the House, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on IlTcdnes day next. LANCASTER COUNTY COURTS BILL. The Committee on the Lancaster county Courts bill was de ferred until Wednesday next. EAST INDIA TRADE B. 1 ". mmittee on the Salt Duties a 1 the .

HILL.—The funeral of the late venerable and highly revered Baronet took place on Fri day last, at Prees, in Shropshire. The principal mourners were Lord Hill, Sir Francis Brian Hill, Sir Robert Chambre Hill, and c o l. Clement Hill. All a l ong the line of the melancholy procession, for upwards of three miles, the road was lined with spectators : the church-yard was filled with others—all anxious to testify their esteem and regard for the deceased, and sincere sorrow for his loss. The shops and houses of Prees were clos ed, as was done at Whitechurch, though at the latter place it was the market-day.
