THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY do hereby give notice, That a GENERAL COURT of the said Company will be held at their House in Leadenhall-street, on WEDNESDAY next, the 20th instant, from Eleven o'clock in the Forenoon until Six in the Evening, for the purpose of taking a Ballot, in pursuance of the following Requisition, viz. : " We, the undersigned Proprietors, qualified according to law, " being of opinion that the following question proposed as an alter " native to the Plan of Compensation submitted by the Court of " Directors, ought not to pass withouf affording to the Proprietors " at large an opportunity of voting upon it, do demand that the " decision upon the said question be taken by the Ballot. "H. St. George Tucker, "W. Stanley Clarke, " Russel Ellice, " W. Astell, " N. B. Edmonstone, " John Morris, " J. Thornhill, " John Lock, " J. D. Alexander, " Robert Campbell, " W. Young, " H. Alexander, " R. Jenkins, " John G. Ravenshaw, thn Shank, Cotton, " 11. Lindsay, " Charles Mills, " W. B. Bayley. " August 13, 1834." The question alluded to in the foregoing Requisition, anJ upon which the Ballot is tobe taken, is as follows, viz.:— " Ist. That, in the opinion of this Court, it was the intention of the East India Company, evinced by the terms of the compromise which they entered into with his Majesty's Government, andwhich has been confirmed by Parliament, that the Maritime Officers oi the Company who bad served or were serving in ships owned or chartered by the said Company, and had not abandoned the service, should be justly and liberally compensated, in consequence of the interest of such Officers being affected by the entire discontinuance of the East India Company's trade. That such compensation was one of the express conditions of relinquishing the said trade, and that section 7 in the Act of the 3d and 4th of William IV., chapter 85, was altered and modified to admit the claims of the said Officers to compensation. That it would be inconsistent, therefore, with the honour and character of the East India Company, contrary to the spirit and intention of the Act of Parliament, and at variance with the moral and equitable rights of the Maritime Officers, if a just and liberal compensation were not awarded to them for being sudden 'y and entirely deprived of the advantages which they derive from the Company's service. " 2dly. That this Court, having taken into consideration the " claims of the Maritime Officers to that compensation which has " been solemnly and legally recognised and provided for, deem the " following Scale of Pensions and Gratuities to be no more than " adequate to the just expectations of the claimants : PENSIONS. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, which a discussion took place a few evenings ago, namely, the contest now carrying on in Spain. On the occasion to which he referred he understood the Noble Viscount to declare that it was not the intention of his Majesty's Government to inter fere on behalf of either of the belligerents in that country ; but, if he were rightly informed, a demonstration had been made on the part of the Government of Great Britain which was alto gether inconsistent with either the literal interpretation or the spirit of that declaration. He had heard that a British officer, Colonel Cradock, was now at the head-quarters of the army of General Rodil, but whether that officer was there as an accre dited military commissioner on the part of the Government of country he, of course, could not undertake to say. He trusted, however, that he was not, and for this reason, that if the Government of Great Britain had placed one of the officers of their army in such a position, it would - go the length of de monstrating beyond all manner of doubt a disposition on the part of England to interfere in favour of one of the bellige rents, namely on behalf of the Queen. Their Lordships must recollect that the officer to whom he alluded was em ployed in the trenches during the siege of Antwerp, but in that case they all knew it was the intention of this Govern ment to act in support of Belgium. He noticed the informa tion which had reached him on this subject merely to point out to the Noble Viscount the effect which placing a British officer in such a position must have; and he would only add, that if the demonstration were not real, it certainly wore that appearance, and was contrary to the statement which the Noble Viscount had made. He had no doubt, however, that the Noble Viscount would explain to their Lordships whe ther the fact was so or not, and under this impression he Should advert to another topic which seemed to him to call for inquiry. He now begged leave to call the attention of the Noble Viscount to the affairs of Portugal, and to ask him if the Government of this country had received any information respecting, if they were cognizant of, the confiscations and spoliations which were now going on at Lisbon, on the part of the Government of Don Pedro, against the property of the parties who opposed him in the late contest for the Crown of that kingdom. By the Treaty which had been entered into a general amnesty was guaranteed, not only to the people of Portugal, but to all other persons ; and he contended that the Government of this country was bound to see that the whole of the stipulations contained in that Treaty were properly and fully carried into effect. He therefore hoped that no time would be lost by his Majesty's Ministers in taking some steps for the relief of the parties thus oppressed,and to show them the extent to which the proceedings he described had been carried he had only to say that he held in his, hand list of twelve British ships, worthy 100,0001., which had been confiscated by the new Board esta blished by Don Pedro at Lisbon in the place of the Admiralty Court, which, with other old tribunals, had been abolished. An appeal lay from the decision of the Admiralty Court, but from this new Board there was no appeal, and therefore those merchants who had thus unjustly, as he contended, been de prived of their property, were left without redress. He hoped, however, that the subject would be inquired into by the Noble Viscount, and that his Majesty's Ministers would see that jus tice was done to the injured parties. For his part, he could not conceive that any Board should have the power of confis cating property tq, such an amount as 100,000/. without the owners having the right of appealing to some other tribunal. Viscount MELBOURNE denied that he said on the occa sion referred to by the Noble Marquis that it was the intention of his Majesty's Government not to interfere in the contest now HOUSE OF LORDS, August 13. The House met at half-past three o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Exche quer Bills Bill, the Assessed Taxes Composition Bill, the Newspapers Postage Bill, the Almanack Stamps Repeal Bill, the Excise Revenue Management Bill, the Pensions (Civil Offices) Act Amendment Bill, the Capital Punishments Bill, the Militia Ballots Suspension Bill, the Militia Bill, the Newspapers (Ireland) Bill, the Arms Importation (Ireland) Bill, the Fever Hospitals (Ireland) Bill, the Valuation of Lands (Ireland) Bill, the House of Commons Offices Bill, the Land Tax Acts Amendment Bill, the County Rates Bill, the Spring Quarter Sessions Bill, the Justices of the Peace (Scilly) Bill, the Insolvent Debtors (Ireland) Bill, the Mer chant Seamen's Widows' Bill, the ) Weights and Measures Bill, the Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill, the County Bridges (Ireland) Bill, the Norfolk Island Bill, the Roads Act (Ire land) Bill, the Lancaster Court of Common Pleas Bill, the Dean Forest Bill, the Menai and Conway Bridges Bill, the Mumbles Lighthouse Bill, the Bayswater Sewer Bill, the Bermondsey (Waterside) Improvement Bill, the Durham and Sunderland Railway Bill, the City of London School Bill Brady's E s t a t e Bill, an d H owe ll' s Di vorce Bill . , The Commissioners were the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of MULORAVE, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. JUDGMENTS. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in the Ap peals-L. The Attorney-General v. Brazen Nose College, and the Attorney -General v. Hungerford, In both cases affirming the decisions of the Court below. CONFERENCES WITH THE COMMONS. Their Lordships held a conference with the Commons in the Painted Chamber on the amended clauses of the Poor Law Bill. On their Lordshipsereturn, the Duke of CUMBERLAND an nounced that the C o coons bad agreed to most of the amended clauses, but disagreed . with others ; but which we could not hear. Also a conference on Me County Justices Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE announced that the Commons objected to some of the amended clauses to that Bill, but agreed to the others. Also a conference was requested to the County Coroners' Bill, to which the Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the Commons had not agreed. The Bill to amend the Law of Customs, the Starch Duties Repeal Bill, the Spirits License (Ireland) Bill, and several other Bills were read a third time and passed. The LORD CHANCELLOR would take that opportu nity of expressing his regret and disappointment at the refusal of the Commons to agree to some of the clauses in two of those Bills, the Poor Laws Bill and the Justices of Peace Bill At first he would refer to the latter Bill. First then he would express his utter surprise that such an impossibility should be expected as that the Justices at every trial should take down every tittle of the evidence. That would be impossible for the Justices to do of themselves ; in fact it would be necessary to have short-hand writers. Much as he respected the authority of the House of Commons, yet he certainly would not agree with the Commons in restoring the two clauses, because those clauses gave a Justice the power to alter and amend and annul, at his own mere option, every single Act of Par liament passed deliberately by the King, Lords, and Com mons.—( Hear, hear.) The Bill said that the penalty, whe ther of fine or imprisonment, was to be so and so for such and such an offence. It fixed the amount and limit of the punish ment in each case ; but the proposed clauses gave the power, right or wrong, to the magistrates to alter the penalty. One evil consequence of that would be, that the ma g i s t ra t es wo u ld acquire a disregard for all l aw , and feel an utt er i n diff e renc e as to what penalty they affixed. He had no doubt that a second Bill would pass next session, but in the mean time much evil might be done by adopting these clauses. Though he had great respect for the magistrates, he would not nive them such unconstitutional power; and i n d ee d h e doubted whether the magistrates themselves would feel comfortable with such power. His Lordship then moved that the amendments be read that day six mouths. Lord WHARNCLIFFE supported the motion, on the ground that it would be impossible for the magistrates to do what was required by the first clause, and improper to entrust them with the discretion given by the second. Lord W YNF ORD also supported the motion. The Court of King's Bench did not enjoy the power now professed to be given by the magistrate 3. The motion was agreed to, and the Bill consequently lost.

" 3dly. That, in addition to the foregoing scale of compensa " tions to the Maritime Officers of the Company, this Court " recommends that the Commanders and Officers of those ships " whose contracts with the Company are unexpired, be reasonably " compensated for the non-performance of the remaining voyages. " And that :t be recommended to the Court of Directors to make " such additional allowance as may be deemed reasonable to the " Commanders and Officers of their own ships, and to any other " Commanders and Officers who may be considered specially en " titled thereto, and to submit the same to this Court." Printed copies of the papers, containing the plan of compensation proposed by the Court of Directors, may be had upon application at this House. carrying on in Spain. He had made no such statement, neither had he said anything to that effect ; on the contrary, he had left the matter entirely open. He, however, had no objection to say that Colonel Cradock was at the head-quarters of General Rodil's army, because whatever related to the affairs of Spain at the present moment was of so much im portance that it was indispensably necessary, not only for this Government, but for the other Governments of Europe gene rally, to have full knowledge of all that occurred in that country. With respect .0 the confiscation and spoliation which the Noble Marquis said had taken place at Lisbon, he was wholly uninformed. He had not heard of any transactions of the kind, and although he did not wish to say that the Noble Marquis's information was unfounded, he must be allowed to doubt the accuracy of his statement that the amnesty guaran teed by the Treaty had been violated by the Portuguese Go vernment. It was undoubtedly the duty of this Government to see that that amnesty was carried into full effect, and with reference to the confiscation of the ships which the Noble Marquis said had taken place, all he could now say was, that proper inquiry should be made on the subject. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said it was not only his impression, but the understanding of other Noble Lords, that the Noble Viscount did the other night make the decla ration which he had attributed to him. The liable Viscount might find it convenient now to back out of Mformer state ment, but he (the Marquis of L9ndonderry) must repeat that, according to his recollection, and the impression which re mained on the minds of other Noble Lords, the Noble Vis count had stated distinctly that it was not the intention of the Government of this country to inferfere in the contest now go ing forward in Spain, and chat the treaty bound them to no such interference. The Government of this country were, however, interfering in that contest ; for were not our vessels actually cruising along the Spanish coast to assist, if there should be a necessity for it, o ne of the belligerent parties against the other ? This, he thought, was most unfair, and he would say to the Noble Viscount, "If you mean to support the cause of the Queen, why not candidly and openly avow your intention at once ?" The conduct of the Government in this country rela tive to the contest that took place in Portugal was base, and all he hoped was, that a similar course might not be pursued in the present instance. The effect of it would be to encourage the supporters of the Queen t o persevere i n t h e strugg l e, i n order that they might be deserted, perhaps, at the eleventh hour : and, as he could not think such policy either wise or just on the part of any State, he certainly should take an opportunity, early next session, to bring the matter again under their Lord ships' notice. PETER AUBER, Secretary. Just ready, in 2 vols. post Bvo. , R A N C E F SOCIAL, LITERARY, and POLITICAL. By HENRY L. BULWER, Esq., M.P. Richard Bentley, 8, New Burlington -street. Agents for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh for. Ireland, Mr. John Cumming, Dublin. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Commons had also refused their assent to their Lordships' amendments in the County Coroners' Bill, but as the result of that matter was not yet before the House, he should now refer to the amendments in the Poor Law Bill. It had been determined in their Lordships' House to amend that Bill, by leaving out cer tain clauses. His proposition with respect to this Bill would not be same as in the last case, because, although h e disa greed from the Comm o n s , h e should be most unwilling that upon that account so important a Bill should be lost. It was clear that the clause the Commons proposed to maintain, giv ing the ministers of dissenting sects a right to enter the work houses in order to administer religious assistance to the fol lowers of their particular sect, was entirely superfluous ; and, but for the great respect which he entertained for the House of Commons, he should say it was absurd that this clause should be left in. For why were they to suppose that there was rea son to bind down the discretion of the overseers, and, above all, of the Commissioners, whom they were about to entrust with large powers in this one case, when they did not think it neces sary to bind them down in others ? He should be inclined to reprehend, in the severest manner, any master of a workhouse who wished to preclude a sectarian Minister from having access to his follower in the workhouse; and he could not conceive why this was the only case in which they should suspect the overseers of folly or harshness. In fact, overseers were less likely to err upon this delicate point of religious instruction, than upon any other. There was another clause that the Commons wished to retain, that was also unnecessary. Now on this subject their Lordships had one of three courses to pursue. The first wa4 to reject the amendments of the Commons—a course which, for the reason he had already stated, he should not propose to be pur sued; the second was, to have a free conference with the Commons, and have the matter argued and discussed to-mor row morning ; and the third was, to receive the amendments of the Commons, but to enter a protest against them. He should feel inclined to adopt the last course, and to withdraw his objections to the clauses, but to give notice at the same time that on the first day of next Session he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to supply the deficiency, for deficiency there wag in the clause respecting the admission of Dissenters to workhouses, for as it was now framed it would not describe those to Whom it was, intended to apply. He knew from the legal advisers of those who .had framed the c ause that they aho introduced it would gain nothing by it, for the Metho dists, for whose benefit it was no doubt spe.gally intended, were not included in it as it now stood ; and, indeed, as others appeared to be named when they were not, they might perhaps be actually excluded. The Bishop of LONDON said there had been no intention whatever to place any restrictions on the admission of Dissen ting teachers when this clause was omitted; but he felt with the Noble and Learned Lord that there was no necessity for the clause, as there never would be any difficulty about their admission. TO THE MASTERS ENGAGED IN THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE BUILDING BUSINESS IN THE METROPOLIS. THE Committee appointed at the Meeting on the Bth June last, have the satisfaction to state that the greatest unanimity prevails among the Trade generally, with respect to the Resolutions passed at that Meeting ; and for the purpose of affording any information that may be desired, the Committee will meet at the London Coffee-house every evening of this and the ensuing week, from Seven till Nine o'clock. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the observations of his Noble Friend clearly showed how important it was for the Government to declare their intentions on this subject. Unless the Noble Viscount did , so he was likely to be led into a situation of considerable embarrassment, for he ought to know that it was not usual for a Government to send an officer to the head-quarters of a foreign army without it being understood that they meant to take part with the power to whom that army belonged. - Here the conversation dropped. Their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter to Seven o'clock until Half-past Two-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 13. The SPEAKER resumed the Chair shortly before four o'clock. A message from the Lords summoned the House to hear the the Royal assent given by Commission to certain Acts (for which see Lords' Report. ) Another message from the Lords requested a conference re specting the amendment in the County Coroners' Bill insisted on by the Lords. Mr. WARBURTON brought up the Report of the Com mittee on National Education, whtch was ordered to be printed. Mr. H. HUGHES presented a petitien from St. Pancras in favour of the Established Church. CONFERENCE WITH THE LORDS. The SPEAKER then vacated the Chair, and the Members ap pointed to the conference with the Lords on the County Coro ners' Amendment Bill, went to the House of Peers. On their return it was reported that the Lords persisted in the amendments they had made, and assigned their reasons for so doing._ ___ _ Lord W YNFO RD was not so sure that a declaratory clause might not be necessary, because he did not feel the same con fidence in the Commissioners that was felt by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack. He had every confidence in their integrity and knowledge, but not in their ability to carry this Bill into effect in all its very numerous enactments. The LORD CHANCELLOR said there was an objection, in point of form to a free conference, and that was, that their Lord-hips mulir give their reasons f or th e i r resolution from which they could not afterwards recede, and by such means the Bill might be ultimately lost, a consequence that he would not by any means run the risk of incurring. The clause, however, was unnecssary, for the Commissioners after all would have, without it as with it, the power of giving admission to the workhouses ; but there was the less evil in agreeing to the clause, as, however accurately this Bill might be now framed, he thought there would not more than four months elapse before practice would discover some amendmenti to be necessary, and when they were introduced this matter could be amended. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that, in this age of liberalism, they ought, if possible, to exclude religious schisms and disputations f rom t h e workhouse. The LORD CHANCELLOR meant to protest against the clause, and therefore did not wish to be the person to move its adoption. Lord WYNFORD, it was understood, moved the adoption of the clause. Viscount MELBOURNE regretted the necessity for this discussion, the More so as he understood that the clause, as it was now framed, would require amendment hereafter. The amendments of the Commons weie agreed to. The Bis'aop of LONDON presented a Petition very nu merously signed from the parish of St. Pancras, praying for protection to the Established Church. —Ordered to lie upon the table. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented two petitions from certain inhabitants of Deal, against the Cinque Ports Pilots' Bill.—Ordered to lie upon the table. The Report of the Committee on the Church Temporalities (Ireland) Bill was brought up. The amendmeyts were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Report of the Committee on the Beer Act Amend ment Bill was also brought up and agreed to. The Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Report of the Committee on the Australian Coloniza tion Bill was also brought up and agreed to. The Bill was likewise fixed for the third reading to-morrow. Mr. CRIPPS moved that the House do not persist in its opposition to the amendments by the Lords. Mr. 'WARBURTON rose to move that the Lords' amend ments be taken into further consideration that day three months. The Hon. Member contended that it was for the in terest of the public and of justice that the Coroner's should be an open Court. There were, he confessed, many reasons, which induced him to wish the Bill should be postponed till the next Session. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL supported the amend ment proposed by the lion. Member for Bridport. He was decidedly of opinion that the Coroner's Court was an open one, and that the best way was to leave the subject till next Session. Lord G. SOMERSET was sorry to hear such a course proposed, for it would destroy the hopes of the Coroners. He had been greatly astonished to hear the Hon. Member for Bridport speak lightly of the manner in which Coroners were elected ; they were elected by the freeholders.—( Hear.) Lord ALTHORP was understood to support the amend ment, but the Noble Lord spoke in so indistinct a tone that we weYe unable to catch his observations. After a few words from Mr. CRIPPS, the amendment was put and agreed to. The Bill was consequently lost. IRISH TITHES. Mr. GRATTAN (having been called on by the SPEAKER to proceed with the motion of which he had given notice, on the subject of the collection of tithes in Ireland) said that, h'av ing considered the danger of giving expression, in the present agitated state of the country, to feelings which in the warmth of debate it might be found difficult to repress, and finding that several Irish Members whose presence he had calculated upon were absent, and trusting moreover to the steadiness and be nevolent feelings of the, Noble Lord ( Althorp) for the prevention of those evils which his motion was calculated to avoid, did he see the possibility of carrying it, he had come to the determi nation, by no means, however, pledging himself at a future period not freely to discuss the prudence of continuing a form of legislation which by the rejection of the Jewish and Dis senters' Claims Bills, and of the Irish Tithe Bill, and by the mutilation of the Coroners' Bill, the Punishment by Death Bill, and the Bribery at Elections Bill, had been found so ma terially to counteract the interests and wishes of the nation— ( Hear, hear)—not pledging himself, he repeated, to abstain from such a discussion hereafter, he had come to the determi nation of withdrawing the notice of motion which stood in his name for that evening.—( Cheers.) He ownedthat he for one would find it difficult to abstain from making comments on the conduct of certain persons in another place ; and feeling the impolicy, the manifest impolicy, of so doing at a time when Ireland and the country at large stood so much in need of FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, seeinz the Noble Viscount at the head of his Majesty's Government in his place, said he wished to say a very few words relative to a subject on -.2 v \ .. , .! ...... ,..... „,..,.... ;i:; , . ::::t_ . „.._______,,,, , ,,,,- _ : . , :____,,,,.... \\ .c.„ .......—... _ -,: :41 , ~..4,.... • __._ ....,..,.., „....• , to ' .4-,, , ,,,,,,-,.p c . , • '' t -• ,: • ~,, ,:•„,.., y 01; . , f, A --- -.. -"4, ~-71----------"-,, -.• ' . 2 1 ... 5 .4 kt . ~_ e.., k \.::': rf l e _ k : ----,1 , ......, ~ 41 A , , c) . .. 4: .••• ma c.

Major BEAUCLERK thought the House ought to know, before they separated, what were the intentions of the Govern ment on the subject to uhich the motion of the Hon. Member for Meath referred. He did not expect the Clergy of Ireland would have wherewithal to live for the next six months, and the House ought to know if they were likely to get the means of supporting themselves from the Government. Lord ALTHORP—Did the llon. Member wish to know whether the Government would pledge themselves to bring in a measure in the next Session of Parliament, or was he anx ious to ascertain whether the Government would be prepared to grant money to the Irish Clergy, should they be unable to collect their tithes ? Major BEAUCLERK wished to know if the Clergy were to get from Government wherewithal to live ; aad also whe ther the Bill lately rejected by the House of Lords would be returned to them next Session by the Government ? Lord ALTHORP thought it would be a very strange measure for the Government to bring forward a proposition for providing for the Irish Clergy after one to the same effect had been so lately rejected by the House of Lords. To the second question of the Hon. Member he must for the present decline giving any answer. LIGHTHOUSES—EXPENSES AT ELECTIONS. Mr. HUME gave notice that early in the next Session, he would call attention to the reports of the Select Committees on the subjects of lighthouses and expenses at elections. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Mr. BUCKINGHAM presented a petition from three pri soners confined in the Fleet, calling the attention of the House to the danger they were expzsed by being confined for debt in a prison where the cholera morbus was raging, and praying the House not to separate without passing a measure to enable them to procure their discharge from prison on surrendering their property to. trustees for the benefit of their creditors. The Hon. Member read a statement, by which it appeared that two cases of Asiatic cholera had occurred in the Fleet, and expressed his regret that s o man y prisoners should be ex-, posed to that frightful disease by th e d e l ay o f t h e House in`l passing the Imprisonment for Debt Bill. Mr. HUME supported the prayer of the petition. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL begged to remind the House that the delay which had occurred in the passing of the measure was in no way attributable to him. As early as pos sible, however, in the next Session he pledged himself it should be brought forward. In answer to a question of an Hon. Member as to the cause of the respite of two persons condemned to death for the crime of murder at the late Chester Assizes, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied that the respite was found necessary in consequence of a difficulty having oc curred in deciding whether it rested with the Sheriffs of the city or county of Chester to carry into execution the sentence on the prisoners. The difficulty was occasioned by an omis sion in a Bill relating to the County Palatine Courts. Before that Bill passed the Sheriffs of the county of Chester were in the habit of seeing the law executed on prisoners condemned to death, but by the passing of that Bill they considered them selves exempted from the duty, and as the terms of the Act did not specify by which Sheriff execution should in future be done, it was found necessary to respite the prisoners until it should be decided by the Law Officers of the Crown with whom the duty rested. He could assure the Hon. Member that no unnecessary delay should take place in the settlement of the point. SUPPRESSION OF DRUNKENNESS. ' Mr. BUCKINGHAM gave notice that early in the next Session he would bring in a Bill for the more effectual sup pression of drunkenness. Sir S. WHALLE Y gave notice that he should move for leave to bring in a Bill for the abolition of hereditary legisla tion.—( Slight murmurs.) The SPEAKER suggested to the Hon. Member that that House was not competent to pass such a Bill without the au thority of the House of Lords. Sir S. WHALLEY said that if he could make such a mo tion he would move for a return of all the expenses of the House of Peers, with whatever sum each individual received from the public. Mr. HUME moved for a return of the expenses incurred in prosecuting the Brighton Guardian..—Ordered to be pro duced. Mr. HAWES moved for a return of the number of forge ries, with the expenses of prosecuting the the criminals, within a certain period, which was read too indistinctly from the chair to be audible in the gallery. Mr. BAINES wished to be informed whether it was the intention of the Commissioners of Ecclesiastical Inquiry to publish a more perfect report of the revenues of the Church of England? Dr. LUSHINGTON answered in the affirmative. Mr. HUME wished to ask the Noble Lord (Lord Althorp) whether it was his intention to adjourn the House in the pre sent week, and for what period ? Lord ALTHORP replied that the prorogation would take place on Friday. Mr. HUME wished to suggest to his Majesty's Ministers the propriety of gazetting all appointments under Government, and more especially appointments in the Colonies. Mr. S. RICE was in favour of the practice of gazetting the appointments. At present only the appointments of Go vernors were gazetted, and the only difficulty lay in the point at which the practice ought to stop. He believed it would not be advantageous to gazette the inferior appointments. Mr. G. F. YOUNG wished to know whether the Noble Lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer would state to the House what salaries he intended to give to the Assistant Com. missioners under the Poor Laws Amendment Bill. Lord ALTHORP was not prepared to give any informa tion upon the subject. The House adjourned at a Quarter past Seven. STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.-PRESERVATION OF TEN PERSONS FROM DROWNING. On Tuesday afternoon, about half -past four o'clock, a wherry containing ten persons—six men, two women, a girl, and an infant—while crossing the river off Wapping, was run down by the Harlequin Margate steamer. The boat sunk, and the ten individuals were immersed in the stream ; but, by the ac tivity of the watermen who put out their boats to their assis tance, the lives of the whole party were saved. They were taken to the Thames Police-office in a most exhausted con dition. The infant appeared to be dead when brought to the office, and it was some time before it showed signs of life : animation was at length restored, and the child was sent home with its mother. One young man was unfortunately cut in the forehead by the paddle of the steamer. The accident caused a very great sensation along shore, and a report of the occurrence having reached the ears of Mr. Broderip, one of the Thames Police Magistrates, he directed an immediate in quiry to be instituted. Yesterday Captain James Corbin, the master of the Harle quin steamer, appeared before Mr. BRODERIP, to answer the charge of running down the boat. John Shea stated that on Tuesday afternoon he was in a boat on the river ; he and another man were rowing ; their object was to cross the river. They were near running foul of a barge when the Harlequin steamer was coming up the river, and a short distance from them. Witness saw the steamer about three minutes before she came up with them, but could not get out of her way without running foul of the barge. When the steamer came up it struck the boat, and turned it off to the starboard side, where it came in contact with the paddle, and one of the party in the boat put his hand against the wheel and was immediately struck by the paddle and car ried under. The boat was swamped, and every person in it immersed in the river. William Message, a Waterman, saw the steamer going up the river, and followed it, expieting from the rapid pace at which it was going that some ircident would occur. He kept under the stern of the steamer, and picked some of the com plainants up.—Several other witnesses havng been examined, Mr. BRODERIP ordered Captain Corbin to enter into his own sureties in the sum of 501. to answer the charge at the sessions. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was holden at the London Hospital, in the Mile-end-road, before Mr. Baker, the coroner, on view of the body of James Smith, a blacksmith and farrier, aged 56 years, who has been for several years past in the em ployment of Joseph Tickle, Esq., the extensive brewer in Castle -street, Whitechapel, and who died in the institution on Monday night. William Russell, a billiard marker at the Kent and Essex Tavern, High-street, Whitechapel, was confined in the White chapel watch-house on Sunday morning, when the deceased was brought there at about 6 o'clock, and was locked up in the same cell with him. The deceased appeared perfectly sober at the time, but excited, and complained that he had been unkindly used by Mr. Tickle, his employer, who had discharged him, and refused to pay him his wages. At about 12 o'clock the deceased was lying on one of the seats of the cell, when he suddenly fell off, and went into a violent fit. At about 8 o'clock he had another fit, when Mr. Mears, the surgeon, was sent for, and attended, and at once ordered him to be taken to the hospital. Juror—Was the deceased sober when brought to the watch-house? Witness—Yes, perfectly sober, but he appeared as if he had been drinking on the pre vious night. Mr. Richard Hugel!, principal clerk and brewer to Mr. Tickle, stated that the deceased had been in the employment of Mr. Tickle, as blacksmith and farrier, for upwards of seven years, and for some time past had habituated himself to drink, and was frequently drunk. On Saturday last the deceased became tipsy at an early period of the day, and was in conse quence unable to work, though he had been into the farrier's shop several times in the course of the day. In the evening . Mr. Tickle told him that in consequence of his habitual drunkenness he could not think of keeping him any longer in his service. Th e d ecease d t h en d eman d ed hi s wages for the week, which was 1/. 15 5 ., b ut h e re f use d to give it to him, as he was indebted t o hi m f or muc h more than that sum for PATRICK. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, TUESDAY, Auo. 12.--The sales to-day are 2,000 bags, at steady prices. The market rather dull. Last week a fellow was detected at Leatherhead in an abominable attempt to dispose of some indecent publica tions to the youthful members of a respectable family. The wretch masks his odious traffic under the pretence of selling groceries. He trav e l s w i t h a h orse and cart, and as he will no doubt renew his attempt in other places, a description of his person may not be amiss. He is short of stature, with dark hair and whiskers, both carefully curled, MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN.—Ott Saturday an inquest was held at the Manor House Tavern, Stoke Newington, on the body of J. Greenough, Esq., aged thirty-four, a gentleman late holding a lucrative situation in the Bank of England. The deceased, who was on a visit at the residence of Mr. J. Shaddock, of the Grove, Tollington Park, Tottenham, went out for a walk, and shortly after his body was discovered floating in the New River. The jury having no satisfactory evidence, returned a verdict of—Found drowned. We have heard of several fatal caAilittof cholera in this town during the present week. Five individuals were in terred in the Hospital ground yesterday, at an early hour, and their clothes buried with them. One of them, who was alive and hearty at the breakfait hour on the preceding morning, was shortly afterwards seized with this terrible di* ease, and was a corpse before sunset. - Since the above was in type, several other cases have been communicated to us. Four individuals are lying dead in one house. —Greenwich Gazette. WOODHOUSE'S ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER. —We have great pleasure in once more directing the atten tion of our readers to the Advertisement which appears in our columns of to-day, recommending this really excellent and efficient preparation as one which no family ought to be with out. The concurrent testimony of the profession in praise of ginger as a medicine has been repeatedly given, and all that was wanting, was to introduce it in a state of purity to render its use universal. This object has been attained by Mr. Wood house in the preparation of his Etherial Essence, which for purity of flavour, and instantaneous effect, as an anti-spasmodic, surpasses any preparation of ginger which we have yet met with. AWFUL MORTALITY.—On Tuesday morning Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw, of Wellington -street, left home for the purpose of proceeding to Hull to meet Mrs. Priest, formerly of the Turk's Head, in Scotland-street, who had a few days before been liberated from the King's Bench prison, where she had been Confined for the last three years, and was return ing to Sheffield by the way of Hull. On her arrival at the latter place she was taken ill, and soon after died. On the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw on the Tuesday, it was a severe trial to them to find their friend and relative, whom they expected to welcome home, a corps e . M rs. Priest was mother to Mrs. Bradshaw. r. and Mrs. B. returned to Sheffield on the Wednesday. The former was taken ill on the Thursday at noon, and died on Friday morning at one o'clock. In the course of the day Mrs. B. felt unwell, and went to her husband's mother in the same street, where she became worse, and died on Saturday morning at five o'clock. They have left one child.—Shejfield Iris. ALARMING Ft RE.—Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, the neighbourhood of Dorrington-street, and Mount pleasant, Clerkenwell, was thrown into alarm in consequence of a fire breaking out in the premises of Mr. Wroughton, the Phoenix Iron-foundry, of Dorrington-street. Crowds of per- sons assembled on the spot, and there being a school for young ladies in the house, and families occupying other apartments, the utmost fear was en t erta i ne d f or their safety. The fire originated in the first floor, it is said in consequence of Mrs. Barton, who owns the school, fumigating her apartments to prevent cholera, when the light communicated to some furni ture in the room. The conflagration raged for two hours and a half, by which time the whole of the premises and nearly the whole of the furniture were destroyed. It was generally re ported that an elderly lady residing in the house was burnt. We did not hear of any other accident by the fire. The pre mises, which were chiefly occupied by lodgers, we understand were not insured, and the parties are great sufferers. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN STONEHAM, LATE OF THE GUARDS.—On Friday afternoon, as Captain Stoneham, accompanied by his servant, was driving in his cab through the Bird-cage-walk, St. James's-park, his horse, a high spirited and blood animal, from some cause took fright, and started off at a most furious pace. Many persons made repeated, but unavailing, efforts to arrest the progress of the affrighted animal. At length Captain Stoneham, in order to check the speed of the horse by diverting him from his course, gave a sudden jerk to the reins, which brought the wheel, with a violent concussion, in contact with a lamp-post at the rear of Mr. O'Connell's house, when both master and man were flung out to a considerable distance, and came with great force to the ground. Mr. O'Connell (who was to have taken his departure for Ireland in an hour afterwards), immediately ordered his gate, which communicates with the Park, to be thrown open, and had the sufferers carried into his house. Ser vants were despatched in all directions to procure surgical aid, and other assistance which kindly feeling and humanity could suggest was promptly and liberally administered. Mr. Kehoe, of Millbank-street, Mr. O'Connell's medical family attendant, shortly afterwards arrived, and on examining his patients found hat Captain Stoneham had sustained a serious injury in the lower extremities of the back ; the servant had his ancle joint dislocated, and some other member slightly fractured. Mr. Kehoe applied such remedies as he considered necessary, and remained up with his patients the entire night. A consulta tion of eminent surgeons was held next day, when it was deemed advisable to remove Captain Stoneham and his servant to his house, No. 8, Montague-place, Russell-square. Both patients amain a fair way of recovery. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—JURISDICTION OF Co. RONER.—On Saturday last, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, as a gentleman of the name of Ogilby was re turning to Waltham-cross, where he resided, from Whetstone, where he had been to dine with his sister, he met with the fol lowing fatal accident :—He was in a four-wheel chaise drawn by one horse, and had entered a road out of the main road, along which he had not proceeded many yards before the ve hicle was overturned in a ditch, into which the deceased was flung, the chaise being over him. Upon Lord Radstock's car riage (in which was some of his Lordship's family) passing, the coachman pulled up, when, on removing the chaise, the de. ceased was found in the situation above described. Neither the horse, which was blind, nor the vehicle was much injured. The deceased, who was paid every attention to by the branches of his Lordship's family, was taken to the Bull, at Whetstone, which is in the county of Middlesex, and at a short distance from where the body was found, which was just out of the county, in the parish of East Barnet, this being in the county of Hertford. On examining the body at the Bull, life ap peared extinct. Information was, in consequence, sent to Mr. Stirling, the coroner, who directed an inquest to be holden on last Tuesday, for which purpose on that day he went to Whet stone ; but on his arrival there, he w as to l d that the inquisition was taen on the previous day, b y Mr. Osbaldeston, coroner for the county of Hertford, at th e C at, East Barnet. Oa ozn i e r . u t Stirling ofan e o x t p h r e e r ss co ed un thisy aiew a body in hi s sur prisemeet meeting that t the e jury coroner at shouldthe Ball ; 1% district. It was a most extraordinary pro ceeding. As, h owever, the inquest had been held, and lest a second jury might come to a different verdict, which would lead to disputes, he would not empanel a Middlesex jury. Mr. Stirling then left. The deceased was about eighty years of age. money advanced. The deceased then became very violent, but was subsequently prevailed upon to go home. Police constable H 95, was sent for at about six o'clock on Sunday morning, and on going to Mr. Tickle's brewhouse he found the prisoner in a very radical state.—(Laughter.) CORONER--I suppose you mean riotous state? Witness-- Yes, Sir, you may call it riotous, but I call it radical.—(Re newed laughter.) He reasoned with him, and advised him to go hope, but it was all to no purpose, and he was ultiinately obliga to take him into custody and convey him to the watch house. lr. Williams, the resident surgeon and apothecary in the hospital, deposed that the deceased died of delirium tremens, produced by immoderate drinking. The Jury returned a verdict of " Natural death by the visitation of God." EXECUTION OF JAMES MURPHY AT DOWN• On Monday morning, at ten minutes to twelve o'clock, James Mull,by suffered the extreme penalty of the law, in front of the new gaol, for the murder of Archd. M'Gran, at M'Comb's-bridge. The hour appointed for the execution tvas eleven o'clock. at which time a large military and police fere. was drawn up in front of the gaol, commanded by their respec tive officers. At ten minutes past eleven the unfortunate young man ap peared, attended by the Rev. Messrs. Denvir, Curoe, M'Cartan, and Dorrian. He exhibited the greatest dread on approaching tiro scaffold, and became so infirm as to require the aid of two of the • clergy-men, one en each side. By ibis means h e was got on the platform, and after Mr. Den. vir had delivered a short prayer, he shook hands with him ; but so tenacious was he of life, that he held a death grip of Mr. Deavir's hand, and would not by any entreaty let it go, saying, " Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me !" and actually followed him off the scaffold. After a lapse of ten minutes, he was again brought up, and from his appearance was evidently weaker than before. He had to be assisted by several officers of the prison before he was got on the scaffold, and after the usual ceremony was gone through, he again made his escape, saying, in a crying tone, " I roust see my father I I can't think of dying without seeing him ! I want a drink ! I must see Mr. Denvir !" The scene now became heart -rending—a thrill of horror seemed to pervade the minds of all present ; never did man show such unwillingness to leave this earthly tabernacle. At the expiration of about half an hour he was again brought, or rather carried up, for a third time, and laid on the scaffold in a sitting posture ; he then listened attentively to the prayers of his church, and repeated, in an audible tone, after the clergyman, "^ Lord have mercy on me—Christ have mercy on me !" after which he was immediately launched into eternity. Though the fall was great, being at least 18 feet, he struggled some time, and seemed strongly convulsed, at least two minutes. Since the unfortunate man received his sentence, he became quite penitent, but never was once known to admit the crime for which he was to die—and on the scaffold he neither admit ted his guilt nor protested his innocence. He did not appear to be more than twenty years of age. Though the execution took place an hour earlier than was expected, a large concourse of people was present. STEAM CONVEYANCE TO ITALY.
