The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.s, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by th e c h aracter g i ven o f this work by an intelligent friend, w e ventured to open its pages, an d now f ee l no h es it a • l i o ninsaying that w e ar i se f ro m its perusal instructed 'and edified.

The balsamic and invigorating powers a this fine her bal medicine are wonderful; a trial Gf a singe dose will c.ar y conviction that they are all that is necessary to invigorate the feeble, restore the invalid to health, and do good in all cases. The heads of families should always have them in the house, as they may, with the greatest confidence, be resorted to at any time, or in any case. Parr's Life Pills are now, from their many virtues, the established Family Medicine. The following wonderful cures are selected from hundreds of a similar nature:— Mr. ABRAHAM BENTON, late of Wright-street. Derby, has been for sense time afflicted with a complication of the most distressing internal disorders, attended with violent cough, under which he was gradually wasting away. He had been at tended by surgeons, and had tried almost every kind of medi cine, but nothing relieved him. He still lingered on, getting every day worse, until his life was despaired of. The cough had become so severe that he could not get any rest, and the mast sanguine of his friends thought he could not possibly re cover, but a kind neighlyiur, who had tested the wonderful efficacy of Parr's Life Pills, recommended him to try them, and before he had taken one small box, he was able to follow his usual occupation, without feeling the slightest symptom of his former distressing malady. Gratitude induced him to request that this might be made public, for the good of his suffering fellow-creatures. Witness to the truth of this statement—Mrs. Cocking, Wright-street, Derby. " Hull, July 6, 1841. " GENTLEMEN,—I have to acknowledge with delight, the benefit I bare received from Parr's Pills, I having been at flicted for 14 or 15 years with pains in my body and limbs; and constant pain in my head. I applied to the first medical men in Hull, and to the various institutions of the town, and brought myself almost to poverty, but all to no purpose. At length I heard of Parr's Life Pills, and after taking only two small boxes, feel grateful to be able to add I now enjoy per feet health. " ELLEN HART. " Witness—Wm. Hart.

Commissioners of Stamps have ordered " Parr's Life Pills" to be engraved on the Government Stamp attached to each box, without which none are genuine. ,THE LATE GEORGE BOLWELL DAVIDGE, ESQ. Several imperfect statements having appeared relative to the above gentleman, we are enabled to present, through the kindness of a friend, the following account, which may be relied on : —Mr. Davidge was born in Bristol, in August, 1793, consequently he was in his forty-ninth year. He was apprenticed to a printer in that city, but ultimately, through the failure of his master, turned over to Messrs. Gye and Balne. Enamoured of theatricals, he eventually adopted the stage as a profession, and played at various theatres, among others, at the " Sans Paftil," and the "Coburg," of which he afterwards became proprietor. Here he amassed an independence, and lost it. He afterwards became proprietor of the the " Surrey Theatre," which he continued to hold (lately in con. junction with Mr. Willis Jones), until his death. At this Theatre he was eminently successful, which enabled him to bequeath a handsome competency to his widow, and many liberal bequests to different charities; among others to each of the following institu tions he has bequeathed fifty pounds, viz., St. George's, London, Guy's, St. Thomas, Bartholomew, Greville-street, Small Pox, and Magda'en Hospitals, the Jews' Synagogue, Orphan and Blind Asylums; ten pounds to the poor-box of every police-office; one hundred guineas to the Drury Lane Theatrical Fund, and the like amount to the Covent Garden Fund, and a fortnight's salary to every performer in his establishment. The above, with testimonials of regard to his old and valued friends, Mr. T. P. Cooke and Mr. Wilkinson (the executors), and a few pri. vate friends and old servants, comprise the principal part of the bequests ; the remainder is left to his widow, and members of her family, he having no children. The funeral, which was private, and t attendants , I t an devoid of ostentation, t oo k p l ace on Tuesday last, at the South EasternCe m h e t the e ry usual Norwood. consisted dfour of m a ou l r ie n a in rs g e c a o n ac d he fi s m a r n h d o p rs a e i s r ,. followed by the carriage of the deceased and those of Mr. Marsden, Mr. W. Jones, Mr. Stamp, anti Mrs. Ducrow, and Mr. Osbaldistone In the first coach were Messrs. Kerschner, Nash,, Cooke, and Wilkinson; in the second Messrs. Marsden, Lewis Jones, Tyler, Lawrence, and Woodward ; followed in the others by Messrs. Stamp, Stansbury, Bedford, Harwood, Russell, Honner, Bunn, Monatt, Gardner, Ratcliffe, Wolcroft, and Forrester. Two of Handers sublime anthems were chaunted in the most beautiful manner by Messrs, Bedford, Stansbury, Crouch, and other profes. sional friends. Few men have descended to the grave more sin. cerely regretted ; honest and kind-1 - ,earted, many instances might be related of his " doing good by stealth." The writer of this knew him well,both in prosperity and adversity, and ever found him the same warm and sreadfast friend, neither elated by the one or de pressed by the other : hospitable, generou, ; the best of companions ; he was wont to "set the table in a roar," and his bereaved rtla. tions and friends have the firm consolation of hoping that, through Divine mercy, in the words of his favourite song—" As faithful below he did his duty, his soul is gone aloft." The Lord Mayor yesterday stated in the Justice ant s h u e ch h n ad um re b c e e r i s ve to d t l h o e / . j f u o s r t i t c h e e . poor brought,,raetattuhreel:lwahnosioarneHous e made amongst the Members of the Colonial Society room in a starving and almost naked condition, being a sub scription Club, St. James's-square. His Lordship expre s sed hi ms elf that i grateful for the contribution, and said he was convinced that if the members of hundreds of other clubs witnessed the dis tress which he daily endeavoured toalleviate, they would readily ollow the example. Our private letters from Calcutta and Bombay, confirm the statement of our intelligent Business Correspond ent given in ye,terday's Herald, that th e B r i t i s h Pl en i potest tiary in the Chinese seas, Sir Henry Pottinger, had made formal application to the Governor-General of India for a greater force than that which, at the latest dates, was under orders to proceed from India to China, and that the Earl of Auckland was unable to spare another regiment.—flerrad SUNDAY TRAVELLING.--AI a meeting of the Leith Chamber of Commerce, held on Monday last, a resolu tion was adopted by a large majority, to memorialise the pro prietors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway in favour of running a morning and evening train on Sundays. WILFUL MURDER.—An inquest was on Thurs day held before W. B. Whitmarsh, Esq., at Coate, in the pa rish of Cinseldon, on the body of Sarah Crook, 42 years of age, who died from blows she received from her husband (who is a shoemaker at Liddingtun). The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder" and the Coroner issued his warrant for his committal to the Devizes Prison, to take his trial at the next As sizesto be holden at Salisbury.—Devizes Gazette, DEPARTURE OF LORD ASHBURTON.—. (From a Correspondent. )—PoaTsasouns, THURSDAY EVEN iNG.—His Excellency the Bight Hon. Lord Ashburton em barked this afternoon on board the Warspite frigate, at Spit h„d. He left the harbour between two and three o'clock, accompanied by Lord John Fay, in the Admiral's tender, and was saluted by the fort with nineteen guns as he passed. When he arrived on board the Warspite the yards were manned, and he was received with another salute of nineteen guns. Shortly after the frigate was hove short, and, at four o'clock, got under weigh, with a light breeze from about S.S. VV., whi. - .1 will just enable her to lay her course down channel. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEB. 11. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'Clock. Mr. ARKWRIGUT took the oaths and his seat for Lec minster. Air. WARD presented a petition from the Ashton-under. Line Railway Company. CORN-LAWS. Mr. YORKE presented a petition from Scarborough, praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws., Mr. MILNER GIBSON presence! uayetition Anm Man chester to the sameeffect. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented ten petitions from working-men of Manchester, designating themselves under the following denominations—builders, warehousemen, letter-press printers, joiners, mechanics, finishers, stiffners, porters, makers-up, stating that they are sufferers under the baneful effects of the Corn and Provision-laws, and praying the House for the immediate and total repeal of these laws, signed altogether by 1,146 names; 46 petitions from working men of different denominations in the borough of Rochdale. The general allegation of their petitions is, that Parliament has passed a law to keep up the price of bread, iii order to keep up the rent of land; but that your Honourable House has repeatedly declared that you cannot keep up wages by Act of Parliament. Petitioners allege that this proceeding is unjust, and therefore pray for the total and immediate repeal of all taxes on food. Two peti tions from Whitworth and Healy, both in the parish of Rochdale. They allege that the Corn-laws are unjust, be cause they tax the poor man more heavily than the rich. That they render commerce unproductive, depress wages, and enhance the price of provisions ; thus, at the same time, in creasing the cost, and taking away the power to purchase them. They, therefore, pray for the total repeal of all taxes on pro visions. One petition from the members of the Independent congregation of Rochdale. They allege that by restricting commerce abroad these laws prevent the full employment of the working population, and have a direct tendency to lower wages and reduce th d e ise p a r ge o , fi n ts nd o p f rem th a e ture m d a e n a u ti f i a:t a ur b er a: and that the deficiency of food created by these laws is the source r re to e o th f e de p m ro7r a e l s is s a ci ' f i° t n r ' ue religion, and the parents of disaffec tion and disorder among the people. They, therefore, pray for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. These peti tions have altogether 3,790 names attached to them in the parish of Rochdale. Mr. STANSFIELD presented three petitions from Hud dersfield, with a similar praye.. Dr. BOWRING presented thirty-seven petitions, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. He would take that opportunity of correcting a mis-statement which he had inadvertently made yesterday, in consequence of quoting from an imperfectly copied document. He had stated that, out of fifty mills in the neighbourhood of Blackburn, thirty were unemployed. The statement should have been, that out of fifty mills, employing 8,400 persons, thirty mills, employ ing 6,631 persons, were either idle or working short time. Mr. BROTHERTON presented petitions from Salford, and thirteen other places, praying far a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. . . Mr O'CONNELL presented twenty-three petitions, pray ing for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn and Pro vision-laws, arid forty-eight petitions from different places in Ireland, praying for a repeal of the Union. Mr. STR CUT presented a petition from the Mayor and Town Council of Derby, sealed with their common seal, and cxhich hat been agreed to unanimously, expressing their surprise and in dignation at the Government plan for altering the Corn-laws, as not calculated to afford the people any relief for the cruel and intolerable injustice under which they were suffering; beseech ing the House to reject the Government measure, and to pass such a measure as would be calculated to remedy that injustice. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE presented nine petitions from Kil marnock and other places in Scotland, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws. Mr. MOSTYN presented a petition from Carnarvon with a similar prayer. Mr. MARSHALL presented 14 petitions, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented petitions from Fal kirk, Hoyle, Denham, and other places in Scotland, all praying fur a total repeal cf the Corn-laws. Also a petition from Antrim, praying the House to pass some enactment relating to Presbyterian marriages in Ireland. Also the petition from Queenborough, of which he had given notice last evening. As that petition contained several grave allegations against the Corporation of Queenborough he thought if the Committee on Public Petitions should be of opinion that it ought to be printed it should be printed for the use of Members only. The House could then proceed to take it into its consideration if it should see Itt to do so. He himself did not in'end to found any motion on it. PRIVATE BILLS COMMITTEE. Sir G. CLERK moved to nominate the Select Committee on petitions for Private Bills :—Mr. Strutt, Mr. R• Clive, Mr, Rice, Mr. Villiers Stuart, Mr. Wrightson, Mr. G.

Mr. YOUNG presented a petition from Cavan, praying fur an alteration of the law relating to Presbyterian marriages in Ireland. Colonel VERNER presented similar petitions from Armagh, and from the congregation of Presbytei ians of D'Olier-street, Dublin. CORN -LAWS. • Mr. G. W. WOOD presented a. petition from Kendal, praying for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS presented a similar petition from Manchester. Sir G. STRICKLAND presented a petition from a body of agriculturists in the West Riding of Yorkshire, also praying for the total and immediate abolition of the Corn-laws. Mr. COBDEN presented a great number Of petitions to the . same effect, but he gave th e d es i gnat i on o f th e p e titioners in so low a tone that it was impossible to hear a single name. Mr. VILLIERS presented also a number of petitions for the immediate arid total repeal, from Bridgewater and various other places in England, and from Hamilton and ether places in Scotland. Mr. L ABOUCITERE presented numerous petitions to the same effect from Taunton and other places. Mr. S. WORTLE e, amidst laughter and cheers, presented a petition from the West Riding of Yorkshire, praying for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws, Mr. O'CONNELL presented five petitions to the same effect from several places in Ireland. Mr. A GLIONY presented a petition from the master mari ners and sailors belonging to Cumberland, and another from the inhabitants of Cockermouth, also praying for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn Laws.

CORN-LA.W AV tRAGES. for the return of certain Sir R. PEEL moved that the list of the towns in which the averages of the price of corn is to be taken, be laid t on the table. The inten tion on his subject was not in the slightest degr, e to affect the averages; it was merely to secure the fairest calculation of the average price of corn throughout the country, and to prevent the commission of frauds in the return. TAXES ON FOOD. Mr. MILNER GIBSON said, under the existing tariff, salted beef, salted pork, fresh meat, and liv e catt l e of all kinds, sheep and swine, were totally prohibited from importation— he wished to ask the Right Hon. Barone t , whether her Ma jesty's Government was prepared to coatinue such prohibition? Sir It. PEEL said, of course, on the d ay on which he should propound the views of her Majesty's Government with respect to the financial and commercial Pohey they were dis posed to recommend, he shou ld state his views relative to these and other points, but he hoped he should not be pressed to make premature disclosures. He might, however, express his opinion, that it would not politic . be to maintain so ebsolute a prohibition. He did not think a system of ab solute prohibition advisable. TREATY WITH TURKE Y. Dr. BOWR [N G,asked a question relative to our present com mercial relations with Turkey. It appeared that at present Bri tish exports and imports to that empire paid heavier duties than the commodities of any other country ; the duty on our imports was 250 per cent. higher than on the imports from Russia, and 12 per cent. higher on our exports. The duties were higher on British articles than on either produce or manufac tured articles from any other country. He would take the liberty of asking if her Majesty's Government was cognisant of the fact, FEBRUARY 12, 1842. and if so, whether it did not consider the imposition of such high duties were not at variance with the articles of another treaty with this country, by which it was stipulated that Great Britain was always to be placed in the position of the most fa voured countries. Sir ROBERT PEEL replied, but his answer was but im perfectly heard in the gallery. Dr. BOWRING said, that after the production of the docu ments he should call the attention of the House to the effect of that treaty upon British interests. THE, MOTION ON THE CORN-LAWS. Lord .1. RUSSELL asked, whether it was the intention of the Right Hon. Baronet to bring his motion, respecting the Corn Laws, forward on Monday ; and if it was not his inten tion to do so, then he hoped he would name an early day, that his intentions might be known on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said they were quite prepared to go on. A conversation took elace between Mr. BARING and the CHANCELLOR of the;ExcHEQuEa across the table, which was inaudible in the gallery. An HoN. MEMBER asked if it was the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to produce certain papers relative to the Caledonian Canal? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was their intention to do so. POOR-LAWS. Mr. FARRAND said he understood it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to consider the Poor-law Amend ment Act, and he therefore wished to ask a question of the Hon. Baronet. In March next the election of guardians for the different unions would take place. The mode in which those guardians were elected was by ballot, and the ballotting papers were taken by a clerk appointed by the guardians, and whose duty it was to decide the election.— ( Hear.) He wished to ask the Right Honourable Baronet to use his influence—ha hoped that influence was great in Somerset-house—to induce the Poor-law Commis missionerr to issue an order restricting any paid officer of the union from taking the voting papers. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who was very indistinctly heard in the gallery, said that an order had been issued from the Poor-law Commissioners, requesting that the clerk of the union (as we understood) should refrain from taking the voting papers, and being returning officer. If the Hon. Member -.could point out any instance upon which to ground a complaint, he could assure him the punishment would imme diately ensue._ Mr. SHAW begged to ask his Right Hon. Friend the Se cretary of State for the Home Department, a question with respect to the administration of the Poor-laws in Ireland. Con siderable excitement had been produced in the city of Dublin by the unusual mortality amongst the infant children in the Dublin North Union Workhouse. He begged to ask his Right Hun. Friend whether he had directed any inquiry upon this sub ject, whether he had received any report from the Poor-law Commissioners as to the result of that inquiry, and if so, whether he would have any objection to .ay the result on the table of the House. Sir J. GRAHAM said the moment his attention had been called to the subject, he had directed inquiry to be made into the facts ; a report had in consequence been received, and he had not the least objection to its being laid on the table of the House. Mr. ROEBUCK begged to ask the Learned Attorney- General when the Municipal Corporations Act would be printed for the use of the House. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied that it would be ready on Monday next. Mr. HAWES begged to ask the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he in tended to pr3pose any measure for the better regulation of the medical profession? Sir J. Gil AHAM said, if the Hon. Gentleman meant to him whether he would pledge himself to lay a Bill on the table of the House during the present Session, his reply was that he could give no such pledge. On the other hand he begged to state that, considering the question was of great importance, he had directed his attention to it with a view to the proposal of some alteration. Dr. BOWRING inquired of the Vice-President of the Board of Trade when the returns which had been ordered of the land tax of the other States of Europe would be laid before bile House. Mr. GL ADSTONE said the returns being obtained through the Foreign-office there was necessarily some delay in procuring them ; but he hoped that they would shortly be laid on the table. The House then went into Committee on the Loan So cieties' Bill, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday next. EASTERN AFFAIRS. Sir CHARLES NAPIER then rose, in pursuance of notice, to ask the Right Honourable Baronet whether he had any objection to lay before the House a copy of the instructions given by Sir Robert Stop ford to General Mitchel, General Jackson, and Captain Stewart, after the submission of Mehemet Ali ; also, the in structions given by Lord Ponsonby to General Jackson and Mr. Wood ; likewise, if any correspondence had taken place b. tween the British and Turkish Governments, relative to the amelioration, of the inhabitants of Lebanon, as was pro mised by the Allied Powers? The Honourable and Gal lant Officer said, he had been induced to ask the last question in consequence of having received from very high authority, a statement that the condition of the inhabitants of Lebanon was one of increased distress. Application had, he understood, been made to the Turkish Government to send assistance to that country, and that they refused to do so. Sir 11. PEEL said he would reply to the several questions of the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman opposite in the order in which they occurred in the Paper of Notices. First, As to whether he had any objection to lay before the House a copy of the instructions given by Slr Robert Stopford to General Mitchel, General Jackson, and Captain Stewart, after the submission of Mehemet Ali. In reply to that, he (Sir Robert Peel) had to state that those instructions hail been sought for in the Record-office, but they were not forthcoming, and consequently could not be produced. With regard to the Gallant Officer's second question, respect ing the instructions given by Lord Ponsonby to General Jackson and Mr. Wood, he (Sir Robert Peel) regretted to say that the papers on this subject were also not forthcoming. As to the third question, if any correspondence had taken place between the British and Turkish Governments relative to the amelioration of the inhabitants of Lebanon as was promised by the Allies, he ( Sir Robert Peel) would state that frequent corres pondence between the respective Governments had taken place on the subject.—( Hear.) The Porte had been urged to comply with the assurances that had been given on the question. Since Sir Stratford Canning had left this country as Ambassador to the Ottoman Court, instructions had been given him to urge upon the Porte the necessity of complying with its assurances of making every effort to prevent disorder in Syria, and ameliorate the condition of its subjects there. He (Sir Robert Peel) did not think it would promote the object the Gallant Officer had in view, if the correspondence applied for were produced, and he should therefore be permitted to exercise his discretion in withhold ing it. However, he would state that application had been made to the Porte to fulfil the engagements it had entered into, both by the present and the late Government. He (Sir R. Peel) might take that opportunity of referring to an ordinary impression that existed, bt,th in Syria and Europe, as to certain portions of the population of that country being under the pro tection of certain European Governments. What we had to do was to see to the amelioration of all the subjects of the Porte in Syria generally, without referenee to religious principles. He would assure the Honour able and Gallant Officer, that every effort en the part of the present Government would be made to cause the Porte to fulfil its engagements with respect to the amelioration of the condition of its subjects, and granting the papers moved for would be but defeating the object whirls the Gallant Officer had in view. Sir CHARLES NAPIER very much regretted that the Right Hon. Gentleman had come to the conclusion which he had lust mentioned on this subject, the more as he had heard that the officers of General Jochmus had destroyed between twenty and thirty thousand persons after Mehemet Ali submitted (as we understood. )—( Hear.) Sir R. PEEL moved that this House at its rising do adjourn to Monday.—Agreed to. METROPOLITAN IMPRROVEMENTS. Mr. RIGBY WASON moved for copies of all memorials presented to the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury by Mr. Rigby Wason, relating to the plan of improvement in the parishes of St. John and St. Margaret, in the City of Westminster, which was recom mended by the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Metropolis Improvements in 1840, and to effect which a certain sum of money was recommended to be allocated by the said Committee ; and also of any proceedings the-eon : also, Copies of any Correspondence between the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, or any person on their behalf, with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, or any person in that office, upon the subject of obtaining such sum of money, or a portion thereof, for the benefit of the private property of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, contrary to the public interests.—Agreed to. LORD ASHBURTON. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS said that when he had yesterday given notice of his intention to move for a copy of the letter from Mr. Amory to Lord Palmerston, dated August 28, 1841, together with its accompanying papers, and of the Correspondence which followed thereon between Lord Aberdeen, Lord Canning, Mr. Amory, and Mr. Kinder, he was not aware of the absence of the Noble Lord to whom that motion referred ; and as he was the last person who would wish to take any unfair advantage, he would, with the consent of the House, not now press for the production of the papers. He hoped the House would allow him to state, in jus tification of his conduct, the reasons which had induced him to bring forward the motion. He had seen in the Cir cular to Bankers, a paper most widely circulated, certain statements calculated as he thought to prejudice Mr. Kinder. That gentleman was a friend of his late colleague, and in company with his colleague, he had last year waited on the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to lay a statement of the case before him, because he thought that Gentlemen had received treat ment of which he had a right to complain in Mexico. That was the reason why he had given notice of the present motion, which as the Noble Lord was absent, he would for the present withdraw, and should he find it necessary to renew it, he would take care that the relatives of the Noble Lord should have ample time to consult with him, so as to be pre pared to meet any statement he (Mr. Phillips) might bring forward.—( Cheers. ) THE SCOTCH JUDGES. - - Mr. FOX 31AVLEnnrvedfOr s' a return of the number of jury cases in the first division of the Court of Session, from the Ist day of January, 1839, till the 31st day of July, 1841; spe cifying those in which the late Lord Pre sident of the Court of Session presided, and those in which any other and what Judge presided. There had last night b een a difference in the state ments made by himself and the Right Hon. Lord Advocate on this subject, and he therefore'moved for the return, for the purpose of showing which was right. Sir JAMES GTIAHAM had no desire to renew the debate of last evening. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite and the Lord Advocate had undoubtedly differed in their statements as to the fact alluded to. No one who knew either the Right Hon. Gentleman or the Lord Advocate, could for one mo ment impute intentional misrepresentation to either of them, and therefore there could be no necessity for the present n.o tion. He must at once say that on his (Sir J. Graham's) side of the House, they could not accede to the request of the Right Hon. Gentleman for these returns, being most anxious to avoid a discussion of such a nature. It would, however, be his duty to oppose the motion if it was pressed to a division. The Hon. FOX MA ULE, after what had been said by the Right Hon. Baronet, would not press the motion.—(Hear, hear.) But at the same time he must assert that he was not wrong in the statement which he had made—( Hear, hear) — and he did not think that the Right Hon. Baronet had taken the course which would be most satisfactory to the minds of the public.—(Hear.) 1 Mr. WAKLE Y could 1 - 1 - A help expressing his astonishment PRICE 5d 0 and deep regret that the motion was not pressed.—( Hear. ) The people of England paid for the salaries of the Judges, and . they had a right to know how they did their duty. The sys tem pursued was pregnant with awful danger to the country. What ! were the Gentlemen opposite, because they had a large majority in that House, to throw their shield over the Judges, and prevent their conduct from being investigated in the Parliament ?—( Hear, hear.) In the present ease heavy charges were made against certain Judges, that they were in capable of discharging their duty, and that they retained their places for party purposes.—( Hear.) On the other hand it was stated that these accusations were unfounded. Now, he would insist upon the right of the people of England to know what was the truth of those allegations. Ile was at a loss to know on what ground the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department resisted the motion.—( H ear, hear. ) Was there anything in the terms of that motion that could be objected to? Could there be a fairer or more candid motion ? —(:dear, hear.) These Learned Judges might attend or not attend to the functions which they had been appointed by the Executive Government to discharge. They were sure to find favour in this House, and whether they had heen guilty of negligence or not there wes no fear whatever, if that motion was refused, that they would meet with any reproach from Parliament.—(Cheers.) It was admitted that the Learned .Judge had failed in the due discharge of the duties of his office. Under those peculiar circumstances, if the House refused to comply with that motion, there could be only ono feeling with reference to it; he was sure it would he said, at the least, that all the truth was on his (Mr. Wakley's) side of the House, and, to use the simplest allegation, all the errors were on the other. --(Loud cheers from the Ministerial benches.) He hoped and trusted, therefore, that the Right Hon. Baronet opposite would see the propriety of assenting to the motion.—(Cheers.) Mr. ROEBUCK suggested to the House that, under the peculiar circumstances in which it was placed with respect to the administration of justice, and recollecting that Judges could nat be removed unless by the consent of both Houses of Parlia ment, that motion should be assented to as a matter of course. It was, therefore, the duty of the House to see that Judges should be above all imputation, and, for his own part, he could not understand how the Learned Judge alluded to, could retire, and be above suspicion if that motion was refused.—( Loud cheers)—nor, in his (Mr. Roebuck's) opinion, could the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite be above suspicion, more than the Judge, if such a reasonable motion were refused. Sir R. PEEL, who was heard very imperfectly, was under. stood to say, that the grounds upon which the motion was op posed, was because it departed from the usual practice of the House ; and the Ministry were of opinion that such a course, if adopted uniformly, would be extremely inconvenient; be sides, if that motion were granted, it would be an unjust re• Election upon two Judges of distinction, and unimpeachable integrity—(Hear, hear)—for it imput e d t o th em e i t h er a want of ability, or a total negligence in discharging their du ties.—(Mr. Fox Maule made some observations in explana tion, but they were totally inaudible in the gallery.) The Hon. Gentleman was bringing forward a motion calling for an account with respect to the Lord President, but the Hon. Gentleman was not inclined to press his motion to a division. There was not an acquiescence in the statements that had been made, but there had been a complete absolution from them. In point of fact, the debate of that night had been unfavourable to the Hon. Gentleman opposite. The lion. Gentleman, in addition to the part he had already taken, was endeavouring to recuscitate the case, owing, he believed to feelings of indig nation on the refusal of last night's motion. He must say he could not conserlt to this m Aion. It would be acquiescing in the reflections on the Lord President, who had retired from office, and no longer performs its functions. Though he agreed with the Hon. Gentleman that that House exercised a control over the conduct of the Judges, yet he was certain that if they used it on every occasion by calling for such returns, and in exercise of the powers they possessed ; yet the effect of that would be to prejudice the administration of justice. Ile would take that motion in connection with the one made last night. He be lieved acquiescence in this motion would involve an acquies cence in the reflections on the retiring Judge, which it would be his anxious desire to protect him from, and which lie thought he did riot deserve lie must object, under the circumstances, from at all acquiescing in such imputations. Mr. O'CONNELL had but one word to say on the subject. Why did they not produce this correspondence ? Why, be cause they were afraid of the results.—( Cheers.) He was yet to learn that they were to make the Judge's seats heritable, and that the son of the Judge was to take his seat in right of succession. Such was the case in the present instance, fov o the Judge was succeedsd by his own sun. The Judge was paid by the public, and they had a right to know whether he earned their money. The Hon. Gentleman near him was jus tified by the facts in bringing that motion before the House ; and he (Mr. O'Connell) hoped the House would insist upon having the facts made known.---( Loud cries of " Divide.") Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place. On our return to the gallery, we found Mr. H. JOHNSON addressing the House. We understood the Hon. Gentleman to say, that his impression was that the cor respondence should be produced. He was well aware that the venerable Judge of Scotland had never been absent in his judi cial duties except from illness, which every man was subject to. —( Hear, hear.) He could, therefore, only regret the course pm sued by the Right Hon. Gentleman below hint.—(Cries of ') Sir R. PEEL could assure the Hon. Gentleman that he was influenced in opposing the motion solely by respect to the vene rable Judge. Mr. H. Johnston rose amidst loud cries of " Divide ! " in the midst of which he sat down, and strangers were ordered to withdraw. On the House dividing there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority The result was received with loud cheers from the Ministerial benches. COMPULSORY CHURCH ATTENDANCE. Mr. M. MILNES said, at the close of last Session he gave notice of a motion for leave to bring in a. Bill for the purpose of repealing certain laws of Eliza beth and James the First in forcing the attendance on Di vine Worship under certain penalties. The reason why he adopted the present proceeding, in order to call the attention of the House to the subject, he should presently state. The cases that had brought the matter under his notice were to be found in the fifth report of the inspectors of prisons during the last year ; those cases had attracted much attention ; the all vigi lant eye of the press had been attracted towards them, and it was impossible, from the notice which had been taken of them, but they must sooner or later come before Parliament. It might appear upon a prima facie view that these laws were enacted for a purpose beneficial to the Church of England, but he be lieved so far from that being the case, that these proceedings had brought nothing but disgrace and scandal on the Church. It was better, he thought, that this subject should be brought before the House by one who, if known for anything, was known as a humble and attached member of the Church. rather than by an hostility or indifference to it. He would now shortly state the cases to which he referred, to the House. One was of a man named William Jennings, who was fined Is., and adjudged to pay 10s. costs; and unless his case had been brought under the consideration of the inspectors of prisons he must have been confined for ever. But on the recommen. dation of the inspectors this man was liberated by an order from the Secretary of State. He found, on reference to the prison books, that there were no less than eleven other persons who had been imprisoned for the same offence in the same House of Correction. They had been in confinement for various terms, from 37 to 63 days, and fined from 4s. each to 30s. He apologised for so young a Member bringing forward a measure of this kind, when others were so much better in formed on the subject ; but thought he was cleared from all undue motives in doing it, when there was a Go vernment in power in whom he had full confidence. At the same time that Magistrate was an excellent one. He has expressed a desire that this law should be amended or re pealed. He (Mr. Milnes) would read what he said on that subject, in a letter addressed to the Manchester Guardian. Mr. Ashford stated " that the difficulties of the law were, that when a man was brought before them charged with drunken ness, the Magistrate felt determined to repress such conduct ; but how was he to deal with it ? He could not allow him to escape altogether, and he was accordingly fined for some other matter. This mode of proceeding he did not like. In truth, the law wanted amendment—it was unsuitable to the present age." Yet this had been the habit regularly adopted by Magis trates. He disapproved of the practice. He was most anxious to secure the observance of the Sabbath. A Magistrate could not refuse to inflict the penalty when the offence was proved. He would be glad of a repeal of the law. It seemed some thing like presumption for him to speak of the legal points in volved, but he mentioned it on account of its great interest. The law on which these persons were convicted was the Uni formity Act.—( The Hon. Member here read the clause under which the convictions had taken place.) This law had after wards been modified so as to include all other places of wor ship, so that if the man attended any other place of worship besides the Church of England the fine was not inflicted. The immediate committal of these persons was under the Act of James the First, by which a penalty of one shilling was leviable by way of distress, or the offender was committed to prison if the fine was not paid. He need not say this law was now unjustly enforced upon these poor men. If carried out in principle it might not be so totally objectionable. If it were the habit in the parishes of St. George and St. James to enter the Clubs every Sabbath, and inflict fines upon them as they had been inflicted upon these poor men, there would be much more fairness in the punishment. It was also enacted, that if these persons were proceeded against by indict ment, they could free themselves by a promise to confoam, or that any other persol except a Roman Catholic might do so by taking the oaths of allegiance and supremacy; but he doubted Whether that was at all consonant with a summary conviction. He would not trouble the House at any length on the absurdity of these laws ; a great deal more might be said in their de fence historically than appeared at first sight when enacted. When they were ffrst enacted, attendance on Divine worship was considered as a test of good citizenship ; but those days were gone by, and it was not proper that Magistrates should be compelled to carry out literally such a law. He did not think it necessary for his purpose to attack the Act of Uniformity. He believed that that Act should be so interpreted as to be consistent with the spirit of the present time. Every person being considered as a member of the Church of England, until by some act or word he had pro f(ssed the contrary, the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department should take some decisive and effectual remedies for the amendment and repeal of those laws ; for it must be manifest that any attempt made in the present advanced state of intelligence at which the public had arrived to enforce re ligion by violence, or means of that sort, must be attended with little or no success, If there was any doubt upon that subject, any ono who had read a page of history must see how absurd . it was to use force to compel the p e rfo rm . ante of religious duties.—( He ar . ) E very one must know howineffectual the terrors of the Inquisition were in Spain, and qow ineffective the terrors of the penal code were to pre vent the spread of Catholicity, in Ireland. B e li ev i ng as h e did that every such a tt empt was 'calculated to bring the Church into scandal and di srepute, h e (Mr. Milnes) called upon the Right Hon. Baronat o pp os it e to exert hi s L eg i slative abilities in this case, which was so obnoxious to religion, and injurious t,r the real interest of the people of England, the Hon. Mem ber concluded by reading the following motion—To call the attention of the House to the cases of certain persons committed to the New Bailey House of Correction at Salford, in the county of Lancashire, in the years 1839 and 1840, for non attendance on some place of religious worship. Sir J. GRAHAM said he was disposed to do every thing in his power to remedy the grievance complained of ; lie could not defend the conduct of Magistrates in reviving an obsolete Act to punish offences which were not cognizable by law. Neither would he say that he thought the penalties of the Act were suitable to suc h cases. He did no t cons id er th a t the infliction of . temporal p ena lti es was appli ca bl e t o the non.performance of personal religious duties.—( Loud cheers.) Dissenters were deter re d b y t h e A ct th&tCh u triclstatee were of Toler a ti on , but members of s. the He Established admitted I still subj ec t t o these pro of the law required alteration, but it required the greatest caution on fhe part of the Executive Government in proposing i u ,2 MOANING SUN. any alteration in the Act of Conformity or of Toler ation ; th erefore he c ou ld not comm i t himself as to the precise re medy. He thought he had said as much as could be expect?d from him when lie admitted the existence of a real grievance, from which both Dissenters and Churchmen were suffering, and stated that it was the duty of the Executive Government to devise a remedy. The motion was then agreed to, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Seven o'Clock. PARLIA MENTA RY BUSINESS.

That it is expedient to amend the Laws relating to the mode of taking and determining the Average Prices of Corn. LLANELLY RAILWAY AND DOCK COMPANY. A general meeting of the Directors and Shareholders in this Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, pur suant to advertisement, for the purpose of submitting to the Shareholders a Bill to be introduced into Parliament during the present Session to enable the Directors to extend their op:rations upon the line of railway, and also to enable them to raise more funds. Mr. BIDDULNI was called to the Chair, and read a clays* in the Bill incorporating the Company, which provided that when any new 13111 was about to be introdu:ed to Parliament it should be submitted to the Proprietors, and which further provided that three-fifths of the said Proprietors should agree to its introduction. It was for this purpose that that meeting was called. After some discussion as to the mode of taking the votes. Mr. Bnou NT rose to explain the objects of the Bill. Their present Bill would expire in August next, and it was therefore necessary that the Act should be extended. Upon the railway were to be used locomotive engines, and when their original Bill was framed, steam had not come into use. That Bill was obtained in the year 182 S, and of course steam power was not mentioned in it. That Bill merely empowered the Company to raise 14,0001., and yet it was under that Bill that they were obliged now to act. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to state the advantages that would a ccrue t o th e C ompany if th e railway was extended. Several Shareholders manifested their decided opposition to the Bill, and after a great deal of desultory conversation a show of hands was taken, and the Bill abandoned. The meeting then separated.
