HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took his seat at twenty minutes past twetve o'clock. Mr. CROMPTON, the newly elected member for Thirsk, took the oaths and his seat. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented two peti tions from R. C. Brandling, Esq., of Northumberland, one against the Hartlepool Railway Bill, and the other against the Hepburn Railway Bill, which were referred to the committees on the bills. He also presented a petition from the Earl of Jersey against the Great Western Railway Bill. Col. L. HAY brought in two bills, one for build ing a harbour at Stockton-point, in the county of Elgin, and the other for erecting a new gaol, court houses, &c., in the town of Elgin. They were read a first time. Mr. MILLER brought in a bill to improve the town and port of Wisbeach, in the Isle of Ely, which was read a first time. THE DART NAVIGATION. , Col. SE ALE presented a petition from certain in habitants of Dartmouth, against the Dart Navigation Improvement Bill. IMPROVEMENTS IN EDINBURGH. Mr. ABERCROMBIE moved the second reading of the Edinburgh Police Bill. Colonel L. HAY made an observation that was in audible in the gallery. Mr. WALLACE complained that the bill con tained no clause similar to that which was contained in bills of the same description for Dublin and Lon don ; and by which a grant was provided for in sup port of the police. More good had been done and more expense incurred in improving Edinburgh than in any other town ; and he thought that that city should have a public grant. In 'a future stage of the bill he should move the insertion of the clause' to which he alluded, and which should be in proportion to the revenue derivable from Edinburgh. Mr. ABERCROMBIE said he hoped there would be no objection on the part of his Majesty's Govern ment to allow the grant of a sum of money. After a few words from Mr.WALL ACE, in praise of the conduct of the magistrates of 'Edinburgh, the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted. Sir G. STRICKLAND moved the second reading of the Wortley Railway Bill, which was accordingly read a second time, and committed. Lord MO RPEtH presented a petition from Anne Holmes, praying to be heard by Counsel against the last-mentioned bill. The same NOBLE LORD presented a petition from the commissioners for lighting the town of Leeds, praying that the bill for the better lighting of that town might not pass into a law. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from the Grand Junction Canal Company, praying that they might be heard by Counsel against such part of the Great Wes tern Railway Bill as affected their interests. Mr. MILES moved the second reading of the Glastonbury and Chard Railway Bill, which was ac cordingly read a second time. The same honourable member gave notice that on Monday next he would move that Sir C. Greville (as we understood) should be added to the committee upon this bill. CHRIST CHURCH RECTORY BILL. Mr. BRISCOE said that he had a petition to pre sent against the bill for raising 400/. a year upon the parish of Christchurch, Surrey, for the better main tenance of the rector. The petition contained the signatures of 583 persons, who were parishioners of Christchurch, and who, on account of their numbers and respectability, as well as on account of the pecu liar circumstances of the case, deserved the serious consideration of the house. The SPEAKER—Is the bill before a committee? Mr. BRISCOE said it had not been read a second time, and because the sense of the house might be taken upon the second reading, he would briefly state the contents of the petition. Originally the parish of Christchurch formed part of St. Saviour's parish, but in consequence of some property bequeathed by John Marshall it was severed from it, and by cer tain acts of Parliament the parish of Christchurch was exonerated from all sums payable, in lieu of the parish of St. Saviour ; but the rector of Christchurch was to derive no benefit from the will of John Marshall, unless from time to time he resided within the parish. The present rector had held the living for twenty-five years, and up to the year 1832, he had continued to enjoy the confidence and esteem of his parishioners, in consequence of his residence within the parish, and the faithful discharge of his duties. At that period he believed that the income of the rector was nothing less than 1,000/. a-year, which was derived from several sources : 2001. was paid by the trustees of Mr. Mar shall ; 4001. for ministers' money ; and 4201. was granted in open vestry by the parishioners at l"rge. These three sums made together somewhat more than 1,0001. a-year. At this period, 1832, the rector had ceased to reside within the parish, which was an express condition of his receiving those sums, and he at the same time accepted a living in the same county to the amount of 300/. a - year. U pon t hi s the parishioners discontinued their payments to the rector, and the trustees, under the will of John Marshall, had refused to pay the 2001. a_year, since the rector had ceased to reside within the parish, that being the con dition upon which the grant was originally made. The hon. gentleman considered that the house should pay attention to the petition. The chief reason for claiming that attention was the fact of 34,000 per sons residing in that parish, and its being the only one which did not come under the ordinary jurisdiction and regulation of episcopal parishes. Mr. BROUGHAM remarked that the house should not lose sight of the fact, that the reason why the parish had withdrawn its contribution from the rector (Mr. Mapleton) was, that he ceased to be a re sident amongst the parishioners. Mr. HAVES said, that a subject was now before the house, and it should be seen whether the house would sanction the non-residence of rectors, or autho rise pluralities. Regarding the contribution that had been given to the clergyman of that parish, it was al ways passed at vestries, and levied from the inha bitants who paid it, though they were aware it was Major BEAUCLERK thought that the bill was a most preposterous one. Colonel EVANS could not understand how such an extraordinary bill could have been introduced. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE presented a petition from an individual, named Thomas Cubett, against the Western Railway Bill. On the motion of Mr. F. LEWIS, the Montgo mery Canal Bill was read a third time. Major BEAUCLERK brought in a bill for im proving the parish of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermond sey, which was read a first time. Sir M. W. RIDLEY presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in favour of the Durham Junction Railway Bill. Col. POWELL presented a petition from a parish in Cardigan, praying for the better observance of the Sabbath. Also two petitions from congregations of dissenters in the same county, praying relief. The hon. and gallant member expressed his determination to oppose the .bill brought in by an hon. baronet (Sir A. Agnew) for the better observance of the Sabbath, as he considered it objectionable in many of its clauses. MERCI-lANT SEAMEN. Mr. B. HANDLEY presented a petition from the merchant seamen of the port of Boston, county of Lin coln, complaining of a deduction of 6d. per month from their wages, wh i ch had been hitherto made for the support of Greenwich Hospital. There was another deduction of the same amount, which went to a sort of benefit fund for the support of their families, and to this the petitioners did not object ; but as th e y h a d not for m any years past received a n y b ene fit f rom t h e fund il o sp contributedthey prayed b t o be by them to the support of G reenw i c h relieved from it s f u t ure payment. He (Mr. Handley) thought it a m os t un justifiable impost ; he would be one of the last to abstract a single sixpence from th e support a of that great shame national establishment, but he thou that it should be taken from so laborious and useful a Mr. WILKS supported the petition most class. o dially. The want of a ma ri t i me code under whichcthre seamen in the merchant service might be regulated like those in the royal navy, was universally admitted. Mr. HILL concurred in the observations of the hon. member by whom the petition had been presented. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from the shipowners of the port of Sunderland, com plaining of the depression under which they at pre sent laboured. The hon. member referred to the report of the committee upon trade and commerce last session, in proof of the low state in which the mer chants and traders at present stood, by the great re duction in freight, &c., and in consequence of which the trade with Russia, Norway, and Sweden, was now al most entirely carried on by foreign vessels. The hon. member then presented a petition from the mer chant-seamen of the port of Sunderland, com plaining of the deduction made from their wages for the support of Greenwich Hospital. It was impos sible the house could refuse to extend its protection to that most industrious class of men who contributed from twenty to thirty thousand pounds per annum to the support of an institution from which they derived no benefit. Until about three years ago the sum paid by them for this purpose had been Is. per week. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the payment should be put an end to, and the deficiency made good out of the consolidated fund. There was a'motion of which notice had been given by the hon. member for London upon that subject, which would come on on the 24th inst., and he (Alderman Thompson) would give it his most cordial support. The hon. member also pre sented a petition from the Unitarian Dissenters at Sunderland, complaining of grievances, one of which was the union of church and state. He stated that in all but that he entirely concurred. He also pre sented a petition from Mr. Wilkinson, of Leadenhall street, praying for a penal enactment against all per sons lending money to foreign nations, and for the abo lition of the reciprocity treaties of 1826. Mr. OSWALD presented a number of petitions from different parts of Scotland, for an alteration in the law of Church patronage, for a free trade in corn, for the better observance of the Sabbath, &c. Mr. DOBBINS, in presenting a petition from 2,138 inhabitants of Armagh for the repeal of the union, and for the abolition of tithes, took that oppor tunity of contradicting a statement which had been made that he had been called on by 400 of his constituents to resign. Mr. F. O'CONNOR had a great many petitions to present for the repeal of the union, but in the present state of the house he would decline doing so at present, and move that the house be counted. The house was then counted, and there being but 31 members present they adjourned at half-past one o'clock. BOW-STREET.---(THIS DAY.) Charles Pittock, a stationer, of Grafton-street, Soho, ap peared before Sir F. A. ROE and the Rev. Mr. THURSLEY, upon a summons charging him with selling certain num bers of •an unstamped publication, called " The People's Police Gazette," which was alleged to contain the news of the day. A solicitor appeared for the defendant, and stated that proceedings had been had against the printer and publisher of the same paper in the Court of Exchequer, where a verdict had been returned for the Crown ; but 'leave was given to the defendant to move for a new trial. As that was only the first day of term, that motion had not yet been made ; therefore the question was, as it were, yet in abeyance. As the meritsof thepresent case were precisely the same as that, he trusted it would not be pressed till after Saturday, when the decision of the Court would be known. Mr. Tilsley, who appeared for the stamp-office, said that the prosecution was against the printer and publisher, and was not in any way connected with the present case. Sir F. ROE said, that unless the case was clearly proved before him—if he had any doubts upon it after hearing the evidence—he would not decide upon it until after Sa turday. J. Wakley was then sworn, and deposed, that, on the 29th of March, and the sth of April, he went to the defendants, and on each day bought a copy of the " People's Police Gazette." They both contained news—the occur rences of the day. They were not stamped. The second paper he bought from the defendant himself. The paper was then laid before the magistrates. Defendant's solicitor denied that they were at all exposed for sale, and asked the witness whether they were in the window. Witness said no, but they were lying on the counter. Sir F. ROE said it made no difference —he could not entertain any doubt in the case—the charge was clearly proved, and he must convict. But, as pro bably the defendant mas not provided with the money, or as he might wish to appeal, he had no objection to allow the matter to stand over for a short time. The defendant was then fined . in the mitigated penalty of 51. The defendant's solicitor said it was a hard case, for the defendant was the last to sell the paper, and would not do so till he had gone to the proprietors upon the matter. He sold it under the firm conviction that he was not infringing any law. Air. Tilswell hoped not only the defendant but others would take warning now, for the sale of such papers had got to such a pitch that it was the full intention of the commissioners to proceed in every case they could lay hold on, which they considered was their imperative duty. He had no wish to press for a heavy penalty. John Clements, a newsman, of 21 & 22, Little Pulteney street, was then convicted of the same offence, and fined in the same penalty. He applied for a remission of the fine, but Sir F. ROE said it was impossible that such a system could be allowed to go on,—it was very unfair towards the proprietors of those papers which paid the stamp duty. He was determined to assist in putting an end to the system altogether. A little before 3 o'clock both defendants paid their penalties and were discharged. ' THE FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.)

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER and a London Jury.) Sarah Gable, aged 17, was indicted for uttering on the 6th of March, two counterfeit half crowns to a chyraist named Wyburn. It appeared that the prisoner tendered one of the half crowns in payment for an ounce of salts. After her depar ture it was discovered that it was bad. The prisoner, however, appeared again in a short time, and asked for some other medicine, for which she tendered the second bad half crown. She was then given into custody. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Recorder sentenced her to be imprisoned in the - House of Correction and kept to hard labour for the space of one year. James Boyle, aged 63, was indicted for uttering two counterfeit shillings to Andrew Shields on the 7th of March last. The prosecutor's son, an intelligent little boy, stated that he refused the first shilling the prisoner tendered, on which he offered a second, which was also bad. He then called his father into the shop, and, under pretence of going to get change, he went and fetched an officer. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and, being an old offender, the Court sentenced him to one year's imprison ment. Sarah &ow, aged 63, was indicted for, and found guilty of, a similar offence, and sentenced to a like term of impri sonment. ii illiam Brown, aged thirty-nine, was indicted for a similar offence. It appeared this prisoner adopted the mode of pretending to take lodgings, and, offering Is. as a deposit, would tender a crown or half-crown piece. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction ; the first fourteen, and last fourteen days of the term, to be spent in solitary confinement.

BRITISH PLANTATION SUGAR.—The deliveries last week were not large, but prices are maintained. The stock in the West India Docks is now reduced to about 6,000 hhds., and 220 tierces. Brown Jamaicas are worth 525. to 545., and from 595. to 625. per cwt. FOREIGN AND EAST INDIA SUGAR.-The sales of foreign sugars are rather on the increase. Brown Rios are worth 225. ; yellow Havannah 245. 6d. to 265. 6d. ; and White 295. per cwt. The Mauritius Market is now firm. Good grey yellow is worth 51s. 6d. to 565. ; and bright grocery 565. to 575. per cwt. About 5,600 bags have been offered this morning. REFINED Suc AR.—The holders show much firmness, and still demand 31s. 6d. per cwt. for fine crashed. COFFEE.—At the decline noticed in our last there has been some business doing to meet immediate wants. Good middling Jamaicas are quoted at 925. 6d. to 945., and fine and fine ord. Dominica 81s. 6d. to 84 s . per cw t. In foreign and East India descriptions there is no change to-417. THE TEA TRADE.— Ile trade continues active, but the deliveries are not so large as last week—amounting to 723,107 lbs. The declaration by the East India Company for the June sale has produced but little change. As com pared with the last declaration it appears that there is an increase in Hysons of 50,0001 b., and a decrease to the same amount in the Twankay and Hyson Skin. The de claration as regards Boheas and Congou q ua liti es rema i ns the same. The total quantity declared is 9,000,000 of lbs. brmeo.—The East India Company's quarterly sale of Indigo commenced at the East India House this morning, but it was not very fully attended. The sale is the last that will take place of this description of produce under the charter of the East India Company. There were about 3,850 chests declared for sale, and not a single chest was withdrawn previously to the commencement of the sale. The sale began with much animation, and at prices from 2d. to 3d. per cwt. higher than those obtained at the last sale, good to fair shipping qualities fetching from ss. 7d. to 6s. 7s. per cwt. The sale will not conclude for some days. COTTON.---Since the sales on Friday not much has been done. The Market continues heavy. SALTPETRE.—At the late decline there appears to be more firmness displayed. SPICES.—There is not much demand for Cassia Lignea. About 450 chests are declared for this afternoon, which will fix the price. Malabar Pepper is steady, in point of price. Rum.—There is but a limited demand, both for export and home use, and the deliverie s l as t wee k were small. The Stock in the West India Docks has decreased to 11,300 puncheons. BALTIC PRODUCE. —The deliveries were limited in Tallow last week—viz., only 681 casks. The stock is 14,500 casks, and the price is rather heavy, having fallen t o 435. 9d. and 445. per cwt. EXPEDITIOUS PASSAGE.--The smack Rose, J. Jenkins, master, left the mouth of Bristol river at half-past eight o'clock on the morning of Wed nesday last, the 9th inst., and hove to in our bay at half-past two the same evening, having thus made her passage in the short space of six hours.—Cambrian. We understand that in consequence of the fees to barristers being greatly reduced in the Crown Court of the county, most of them refused the briefs offered. True it is that Lord Chief Justice Tindal examined the witnesses himself in two or three cases. _Nottingham Mercury. A GREEDY SHEEP.—On Thursday last, on a farm in the Aird, a ewe ate the tails of her two lambs completely to the stump. This unnatural pre ference of mutton to hay and turnips was witnessed by the farmer and his servants, who interfered to save the lambs from the wooly cannibal, but without effect, as she returned to the charge when unobserved, and ac compliaJied her purpose,—lnverness Courier. LITERATURE EUSTACE CONWAY. 3 Vols. This novel should hive .been comprised in two volumes. There :aaterials enough for three,' the cons , 2quent-e of which is, that the author is obliged to have recourse to- tedious dialogues which encumber the progress, and en feeble the interest, of the narrative. Yet the work has many redeeming traits. The charac ters are for the most part broadly and distinctly marked, especially those of the hero, Eustace Conway and Rumbold—the last of which is not without some pretensions to originality. In ' one scene, in particular, in which he figures, as taking the lead in the abduction of a pretty Quakeress, Caroline Du . ncan, the deeper and more depraved parts of his character were de veloped with singular skill and boldness. We like the author's male, better than his female, personages.- These last are too much a-kin to each other : there is no stamp of individuality about them—neither " mark nor likelihood." We close our hasty notice with the remark, that the author of the volumes before us is clearly a well-read man, and one acquainted with the exact state of the politics and literature, and philosophical theories of the day. His work would have been far more readable had he pruned the luxuriance of his dialogues ; they want both pith and condensation. ROMANCE OF HISTORY. London, 1834. The present number forms the second volume of France, whose romantic annals have been illustrated by Mr. Leitch Rit,hie, and already noticed in The Sun. The work is got up in remarkably handsome style, and is embellished with a variety of spirited wood-cuts, of which it is enough to say that they are by Landseer. FAMILY CLASSICAL LIBRARY—No. 52. London, 1834. The present volume, which is the concluding one of Livy's History, concludes also the Family Classical Library. In taking. leave of this miscellany we may say that w• have watched its progress with some interest, and are delighted to perceive that our prognostications as to its success have been fully borne out. The trans lations of the different Greek and Latin poets and historians were all the best that could be se lected, and such as had long maintained a high character in the world of letters. De volumes also were got up with remarkilille elegance and neatness, and at a price which brought them within the reach of all claSses of readers. In consequence of the success of the speculation, Mr. Valpy now proposes to pub lish a re-issue of the volumes, which, we doubt not, will be the means of bringing them into very general circulation. We have the high authority of Dr. Parr, that a diligent study of the classics of Greece and Rome, is an indis pensable part of the education of an English gentleman. These excellent translations will be the means of facilitating that study. WRIGHT'S SCHOOL ORATOR. London, 1834. As this work has already gone through four editions (the present is the fifth), we have little need to enter into any lengthy notice of it ; suffice it, therefore, to say, that the present edition has been materially revised, and the ele mentary exercises on elocution rendered as terse, as simple, and as complete as possible. MUSIC. THE SMUGGLER. COMPOSED BY W. A. WORDSWORTH. The words of this song have a character of spirit and originality about them highly pleas ing. They are a translation from one of the Chausons of Beranger, and exhibit all the energy of the French author, coupled with the idiomatic freedom of an original production. The composer has evidently performed his task con amore. His melody is striking, varied, and appropriate ; the modulations sound and unaffected, and the accompaniment truly effec tive. It is a dashing tenor song, in the style of Neiikomm's " Sea." We anticipate its popularity. WESTMINSTER CLUB. This establishment was opened yesterday, in Great George -street, by a house dinner, at which the Com mittee and some of their friends were present. Seve ral spirited speeches were delivered on giving out the toasts, among which the following were most charac teristic of the principles of the Club : 1. The King. 2. The Queen and the rest of the Royal Family. 3. The people, the true source of legitimate power. 4. A nation's cheap defence--an army of unpaid citizens, and a navy of unpressed seamen. 5. A House of Commons so freely chosen, and faithfully acting, as to be in spirit the true expression of the feelings of the nation. 6. The Westminster Club, which is essentially con servative in its resistance to whatever endangers useful institutions. 7. Union without faction, based upon principles which, while they neither fear nor favour popular vio lence, respect and deserve popular applause. 8. Universal Education, that every child may read the charter of freedom, and every man defend it. SURREY THEATRE.—Last night a new grand romantic drama, called Esmeralda, or the De formed of Notre Dame, founded on some of the inci dents of Victor Hugo's last novel, was produced with much success at this theatre. We cannot here enter into the plot of Esmeralda, the inconvenience of stand ing in the passages during the representation—for we were not willing to minister to the rapacity of the box-keeper--were of itself sufficient apology ; suffice it to say, that the scenery is splendid, especially so the exterior of Notre Dame; the interior, with the gigantic galleries, cloistered aisles, bronze monuments, &c., by moonlight, with several other portions; these were ex ceedingly effective, and sufficient to secure the success of a piece, even without the powerful acting of Mr. Yates, as the Deformed, Mr. 0' Smith, as the Monk of Notre Dame, and Mrs. Yates, as Esmeralda, the gipsey girl, to say nothing of Mrs. West, as St. Gir dule, and the drolleries of our old friend Vale in the character of a poet and puppet-showman. With a little judicious pruning, Esmeralda, we doubt not, will have a long run. CURIOUS PLAYBILL.—The following re markable theatrical announcement is a mixed appeal of vanity and poverty to the taste and feelings of the inhabitants of a town in Sussex Copy)—" At the old theatre, East Grimstead, Saturday, May, 1753, will be represented the affecting tragedy of Theodosius. Varanes by Mr. Pugh, who will strive to support the character of the Prince, in which he was so much ad mired at Hastings. Theodosius, by a young gentle man, who never appeared on any stage. Nothing in Italy can exceed the altar in the first scene of the play. N.B.—The great yard dog that made so much noise on Thursday night, during the last act of Richard 111., will be sent to a neighbour's over the way ; and on ac count of the prodigious demand for places, part of the stable will be laid into the boxes on one side, and the granary be open for the same purpose on the other," TIM ARMY (From the Limerick Chronicle.) ' Captain Crombie's company of the 60th Rifles marched from Rathkeale yesterday, and this day re joined head-quarters in the Castle Barracks. Captain Tlylor's company of the 85th 'Light In fantry marched from the New Barracks on Monday morning, for. Tarbert Fort and Carrig Island, in the Shannon, to be there stationed. Eight rank and file of the 37th, from Tarbert, are ordered to join head-quarters at Clare Castle. Yesterday, three companies of the 83d Regiment, under Major Crofton, from Dublin, landed in Cork by steam-packet, preparatory to embarking for Halifax, Nova Scotia. The other three companies, under com mand of Colonel the Hon. H. Dundas, follow on Sa turday next. The head-quarters division of the 74th regiment, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Mein, leave Dublin this day for Newry, to relieve the 2d battalion of the Ist (or Royal) regiment. On Saturday next the first division of the second battalion Royal regiment, leave Newry for Dublin. The head-quarters of the 47th regiment, under the command of Colonel Elrington, C. 8., will arrive in Dublin on Saturday from Mullingar. The head-quarters of the 47th regiment, from Naas, are now at the Royal Barracks, Dublin. The 59th regiment, under command of Major Waring, was inspected on the fifteen acres, Dublin, by the Commander of. the Forces, and subsequently by Major-General Sir Edward Blakeney, K. C.B. The head-quarters of the regiment marched on Monday for Naas, to• relieve the 80th regiment, ordered to Dublin. Major Mackay, the senior Major of the 90th Light Infantry, has arrived in Kilkenny from leave of ab sence, and assumed the command of the regiment. Lieut.-Colonel Arbuthnot is expected shortly to re turn from London, where he has been for some time past, on business connected with the prize-money of the army of the Deccan. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

It would appear that the frightful and ruin ous system of combination has extended to every part of this country. In Kilkenny, where the depression of trade is so much complained of, a number of coach makers, who obtained full work and high prices, in an establishment kept by a Mr. Lander, combined to ruin his business if they were not allowed to play the dic tator over their employer. Mr. Lander determined upon a vigorous course, and on Saturday night dis. missed 14 of them. In the months of January, February, and March, there were imported into Bristol, from Ireland, 25 horses, 146 cattle, 317 sheep, and 45,398 pigs. OUR TOWN.—The peculiarities and man ners of a country market-town are here hit off' to the life, and a rare harvest does such a place present to the humourist. Nowhere is there so fruitful a crop of worldly absurdities. The present writer accordingly looks upon his subject as good material for fun ; and though his representations occasionally savour of bur lesque, it is impossible, we think, to dispute that the foundations of them are good and true. His pictures are as minute and characteristic as those of. Crabbe,, without, howeve r , the t err ible shadows with which that poet so often darkens his compositions ; and we are not sure that the author of " Our Town" will not do more good with his joke than Crabbe with his gloom and his admonitions. —Morning Post.
