saving the government had given great offence to a ro t armful body of men. Mr. O'DWYER poked upon the yeomanry as mere appendage of ascendancy. Mr. LITTLETON said that the King's army was per fectly competent to maintain the peace in Ireland. There were "3,000 troops to eight minions of people—a force which was amply sufficient, especially when hon. mem bers recollected that for the last three years there hd been no occasion to call the yeomanry out. He strongly de nied that the Irish Government was unmindful of the past services of the yeomanry. He trusted, if the necessity should ever arise for the general formation of volunteer corps, either to repress tumult at home or to repel ag• greasion from abroad, that Catholic and Protestant would be found without distinction serving in the same ranks in the co:mmon cause of their country,—(Hear.) After a few words from Mr. O'CoNNELL, Col. SEALE, Col. EvAxs, Lord EBRINGTON, General SHARPE, and Mr. B l.rrr, Mr. COBBETT said that a man, who was then no more—Major Cartwright —had called the yeomanry corps the body guard of the boroughmongers ; that body was now dead—(Laughter) —an t i he could not see why the corps should be kept up.—(Much laughter.) He could not adequately express the satisfaction he felt to find that no gentlema n on the ministerial benches had arisen to at tempt to vindicate the foul proceedings of Manchester. Earl GROSVENOR spoke a few words, which were inaudible in the gallery. Mr. HUME briefly replied. The Manchester yeo manry corps were so ashamed of their justly-designated " foul proceedings," th a t th ey had voluntarily dissolved themselvee._(Hear.) After a few words from Lord HOWICK, the house di vided, when there appeared—. For the original Motion For the Amendment Majority -83 On our re-admission into the gallery, we found Mr. ELLICE on his legs, who spoke a few words previous to the question that a sum not exceeding 16,5401. 12s. 10d. be granted for defraying the rewards due to military ser vices, in Great Britain, Ireland, and the Colonies, from let April, 1834, to 31st March, 1835. Sir HENRY HARDINGE would not then move an amendment, but be protested against the decision which the Committee had come to. Up to ISIS, there was 30,0001. ailotted for rewards, which sum might be drawn upon at any time, from the battles of Blenheim and Minden; and the resolution of the Committee, he would contend, was both unfair and illegal. Mr. HUME stated his objections to an increase of the army. Yet be felt towards them every feeling of respect which they demanded. They bad fought and bled for their country—(Hear, hear)—and they had deserved the thanks of every member ; but still he felt the expenses of the country should be reduced. Let us look to the list (said the hon. member), and we shall see 262 General Officers. He knew no better way to reduce the army than to shut out all undeserved rewards. Yet he did not intend to oppose the grant, but confine it alone to pre sent individuals. The extravagance of the Civil De partment, he admitted, was greater than the military. A sum of 18,0001. bad been proposed in the committee, wbicla he had voted against. Sir HENRY HARDINGE said the number of general ufficers in 1792 was greater than now, having been 30 ; at this moment they were 26. The emoluments of 1833 were also less than those of 1792, and yet he found the Civil Departments bad greatly increased. His case was, thetefore, stronger, as the injustice to the army was greater ; and that the emoluments were much greater 100 7ers since. Mr. COBBETT said the hon. gentleman considered the rewards as nothing ; yet he would admit there was a difference between now and 1792. The effective state of the army was what he looked to now. It would appear we had now 14,000 officers, instead of twelve or fourtee❑ kuudrol. He thought that the ministers might take cif a little. T! ere was another charge in 1792, of 92,9001., which had been augmented in 1833 to 212,8741. When the hon, gentleman talked of Watet 100, of B enheim, and of Minden, did he not remember there were services per formed on the other side of the Atlantic? He considered the services of the army in America were not less deserv. ing of commendation, for their services were not the least arduous. He observed upon the list the name of the governor of the Isle of Wight. For his part, he knew not bow he came there, for he was not aware of any great ser vices rend, red by him in connection with the army. Mr. ELLI CE replied. Sir HENRY HARDINGE said, that in 1792 the number of officers was 4,000, which gave twelve men to each officer ; whereas now we had but seve❑ men to an officer, He admitted that the army last year was most effective. Mr. ELLICE said, the committee last year had recon). mended some allowance, but they had met with so many impediments that it could not be carried into effect. The opposition had opposed every proposition fur increasing such allowance, and yet the pvernment did not feel jus tified in making one reduction. Lord EBRINGTON moved, that a sum of 6,4001. should be voted. Mr. ELLICE wished to refer the noble lord to the esti. mate., and he (Lord Ebrington) would find that sum would increase them. Sir H. HARDINGE thought the house should take the King's pleasu:-.2 as regarded the army. He should therefore object to the proposition of the noble lord (Lord Ebringron). Mr. ELLICE stated most distinctly that he thought it better to concur with the other party. Mr. HUME—The hon. gentleman had said he took his Majesty's pleasure as regarded the army ; in point of form he should have done the same ; and it was most important that the army should look to the King and not to the house. Mr. ELLICE never thought that the army should look Ile the house. Captain DUNDAS would refer to the list of general officers who were not in the army. Lord EBRINGTON referred to the rewards of the army, and would ask whether they were diminished ? Those rewards had produced glorious results. Mr. COBBETT said there appeared to be a difference between the sister forces. He would ask whether the aum of 111,000/. was for full or half.pay to the general officers ?—(11Ir. Ellice observed, half.pay.) Was it a charge for respective ranks, or was it wholly half-pay ? (Mr. Ellice said, half.pay.) Was, then, the country to pay the enormous sum of 111,000/. for half-pay to gene ral officers, and not serving? He would ask the noble lord whether he thinks the people of Devonshire would like to see such a sum voted? Would they not consider 200 general officers too many? Let the world tremMe— (A laugh)—no one dare go to war with us—we had 200 general officers ! The admiral might smile, for we had also on the navy list two or three to every ship. He did not think the country should be taxed to support 200 general e , fficers. Words could not express his feelings at its enormity ; be should therefore vote against it. Lord EBRINGTON was sure the men of Devonshire would not shrink from paying their share as a due reward for past services to their country. Mr. COBBETT would ask the hon. secretary whether Prince Leopold was amon g the general officers ? Mr. ELLlCE—C e rtai n ly not. Mr. HUME opposed it. _ Sir HENRY . HARDINGE would inform the house - that the reduction of 1001. taken from the regiments would supply the amount given to general officers, the amount of which, in gross, did not exceed 7,0001. a year. The colonels of regiments had been reduced from 6001. to 600/. a year. Lord EBRINGTON made some observations, but from the low tone in which he addressed the house we could not catch what he said. Sir HENRY HARDINGE said, that the number of General officers was less by 167 iri - 1833 than in 1817. The vote was then agreed to. Mr. ELLICE then moved that 82,0001. be granted to defray the expense of the full pay of reduced and retired officers.—Agreed to. Mr. ELLICE then moved that 607,000/. be granted to defray the expense of the half-pay of reduced and retired officers for the ensuing year, and stated that within the last year the number of of f icers on half.pay had been reduced by 295, of which number from 50 to 60 officers were brought from the half to the full pay. After a few words from Colonel EVANS, Sir HENRY HARDINGE said, that the subject of promotion was a very difficult one. It ought, however ; to be known that since th e p eace a d ecrease h a d ta k en place in the number of officers in the army of not less than 7,000, making a saving to the country of a million and a half per year. Mr. COBBETT—Ar e we dearly to understand that the half-pay is a retaining fee for future services? Mr. ELLICE—And a reward for past services. Mr. COBBETT—Then it was both as a reward for past services, and a retaining fee for future services, and the King bad therefore a claim on the future services of the individuals who received it. He hoped then that the right hon gentleman would inform him whether there wa, any claim on the clergymen who received half-pay as ufEcerl ever since the war, There were many clergymen , tc:Oyerj, their emolument@ WI tiergmen 9 , 1 the one WW I their injf ray fur future witiwy owvi4tia an ‘ilif A r• tsl'o't only that, but after receiving that half pay for twelve years, they had been allowed to sell out, and pocket the money. He hoped some gentleman present would inform him whether there was any way in which the half ray received by clergymen for 12 years could be recnshred. Mr. SHEIL begged to ask the right hon. Secretary at War whether tbere was any provision to be made for the Romin Catholic clergymen who attended the prisons and hospitals in Dublin ? Mr. ELLICE said that the matter was under consi deration of the government, and especially since the preju dices on this subject had in some measure vanished. The vote was then agreed to. Mr. ELLICE then moved, that the sum of 51,240/. be granted to defray the half-pay allowances for wounds and widows' pensions of the officers of the disbanded foreign torps. Mr. COBBETT complained, that by this vote two mil lions had been sent out of the country since the peace, to enrich foreigners at the expense of this country. Such a grant was not legal, as it was contrary to the Act of Ist William and Mary, that foreigners should hold places of emolument, either civil or military, under the crown of England. Besides, this could not be called a retaining-fee, for they could not, i❑ any case, be called on to serve again. He complained, too, of an omission in the estimate, as the ❑ames, number, and country of the officers receiving these allowances should have been stated. He believed that there were many of them Frenchmen, and he asked if they ought to be pensioned ? He was determined to divide the house on the que,tion, even if he stood alone. Mr. ELLICE said that the country was bound by con tract to pay these allowances. He would put it to the house whether, in law or justice, they could refuse to make good claims to which they were bound by their own con tract ? He begged the house to remember that many of these officers had rendered very distinguished services during the war.—(Hear, hear.) They bad now nut to consider how far the exigency of the times required the services of foreign troops ; but having called in the service of these troops, they were to say whether they should fulfil the contract. This sum was not only for the half pay of these officers, but for allowances for wounds re ceived in the service, and for the pension for widows of officers killed in the service. Mr. COBBETT would only remark, that there was 2,0001. a year more paid as half-pay to these foreign— these German officers, than was paid as the half-pay of the whole of the officers of the British army before 1792. Colonel DAVIES believed that some foreign officers in the pay of this country received pay from foreign Poten tates also, and that others had pay from this country who were not in existence at all.—(A laugh.) He ti.ought that some precaution ought to be taken against frauds. Mr. ELLICE said that there was no denying that there were sometimes frauds committed. He was sure, however, that they were not considerable. The half-pay of any officer who was known to have entered any other service would certainly be stopped. Sir. H. HARDINGE said, that none cf these officers could serve in any other army without permission from the King of England, and be had known instances in which permission was refused. After a few words from Mr. O'CoNNELL and Colonel VANS, Mr. AGLIONBY said, that if these foreign officers had not been granted a pension they would not have entered the British army, and having engaged them on that con dition, the contract ought to be kept to. Mr. COBBETT contended that the act of of parlia ment under which they were engaged, was contrary to, and in defiance of the law.—(A laugh.) It was in defiance of another act of parliament fully as good as it was.—(Laughter.) If they could repeal the act by which the crown was held by the house of Hanover in this respect, they might do the same in some other respects. Mr. HUME would vote for the grant, as he conceived the country to be bound by the act of parliament. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 4 For the motion 200 Majority On our readmission to the gallery, we found Mr. ELLICE moviug that a sum not exceeding 47,6001. be granted to his M.jesty to 'meet the charge of the pen sions of w!dows of officers who had been in his Majesty's Land Forces. Mr. COBBETT complained of the vote. It rested with that house to reduce the taxation of the country; but if it did not encourage Ministers to reduce taxes, they could not be expected to do it.—The vote was then agreed to. Mr. ELLICE moved for a grant to his Majesty of 161,5001. to meet the charge of allowances on the Com passionate List ; of allowances as of his Majesty's Royal Bounty ; and of pensions, gratuities, and alio« aneo , t o Officers for Wounds.—Agreed to. Mr. ELLICE moved that the sum of 1,327,8481. be granted to his Majesty to defray the charge of Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals; of the in-pensioners of those establishments; and of the out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital. Mr. COBBETT complained of the allowance given to the in and out-pensioners of those establishments com pared with the wages received by bald-working labourers in this country. Mr. O'CONNELL begged to take that opportunity of asking the right hon. Secretary at War whether there was any truth in a report which was in circulation, that officers in Dublin were about to be deprived of their resi dences in Kilmainham Hospital, and to be compelled to come over to Chelsea Hospital? The displacing of these persons would cause great dissatisfaction in Dublin, as the spending of nearly 11,0001. a year by these individuals was an object of some importance to that city. Mr. ELLICE said it was true that arrangements were making, on the mere ground of economy, to enable such of the in-pensioners of Kilmainhain Hospital whose health permitted, to come over to Chelsea Hospital, and those of them who were infirm would be removed to the Artillery Barracks, which were now being provided for their reception. Mr. O'CONNELL said the case was one of great hard ship to the pensioners thus about to be removed. Mr. ELLICE said, no person would be removed whose age or infirmities rendered it improper for them to be taken to this country. Government thought that, as the lease of Kilmainham Hospital was expired, and the budd ing out of repair, it would be proper, on the score of eco. nomy alone, to make arraageinents for the reception of the aged and infirm inmates in the Artillery B wracks. The whole number of in-pensioners in Kilmainham Hospital was only 247, and yet the expense of their maintenance in that estailishrnent was nearly 11,0001. Mr. O'DWYER thought it a case of great hardship that Kilmainharn Hcspital was thus about to be broken up. It had been founded out of money taken from the pay of the soldiers themselves, and had an estate of '7l acres, invested in the Crown, and granted by the Crown, which it held by a perpetual tenure. Mr. HUAIE was sorry to hear words against economy spoken in that house.—(A laugh.) As the breaking up of the establishment at Kilmainham would effect a great saving to the country, he would support it. He only hoped that equal justice woutt be done to Chelsea Hospital. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was opposed to any proposal for doing away with Chelsea Hospital. He wished to state, with rtlerence to the pensions paid to certain officers under the King's warrant, that it had for a long time past 't ee n the custom to appoint to these pensions persons whose principal merit generally consisted in being akin to the Paymaster of the Forces for the time being, while the warrant itself expressed that the pensions were to be given to officers who had done meritorious service, or bad suf fered in the service ; but since he (Lord J. Russell) had come into office, he had made every exertion to do away with the old abuse, and to bestow those pensions on officers who came under the description on the Royal warrant. Sir H. HARDINGE was very happy to hear the noble lord's determination to support the establishment. He had one word to say with reference to the Rev. Mr. Gleig, whose appointment, which did so much credit to the no ' bleman who made it, had drawn down upon both giver and receiver such a series of low-minded and contemptible abuse. The rev. gentleman had well merited the appoint ment, not only by his private character, and his talents as a writer, but by his distinguished services in the penin sula; and he (Sir 11. Hardinge) was sure that Mr. Gieig's appointment was matter of satisfaction to all parties—(An hon. member expressed his dissent from this proposition by a very decided and peculiarly toned no ! which excited some laughter)—all parties, he repeated, except the few individuals who had busied themselves in serving their own purposes by attempting to overwhelm the generous donor and the meritorious receiver with their vulgar and con temptible vituperations. He would ask the house, and pat tieularly the member who bad favoured them with so peculiar a specimen of his vocal powers—he would ask whether, when the Duke of Wellington bestowed some appointment upon Mr. Grey (the present Bishop of Here ford, we believe), this appointment had been met by such disgraceful howlings and yelpings as had been sent forth on the present occasion ; or when the same noble duke appointed a member of that house, in no way connected witb, or rather hostile to his Grace—Mr. Abercrombie— to art office, had the same vituperations been thrown upon him as upon the right hon. Paymaster of the Forces on the present uccesion? Oh, no. He (Sb' H, HO had aloe to pruner eseiett the syettlut r""1"1"'i which had produced such mischievous effects on the poor soldiery, particularly on the Irish, who had no poor laws, and which was a system which bad drawn upon ministers as much odium as any of their proceedings. He (Sir H. H.) would have brought this question before the house last year, had not Sir John Hobhouse, who also objected most strongly to it, promised to do away with it. He would now m.k the bon. gentleman, the Secretary at War, whether be had taken any measures to put an end to this most objectionable arrangement—an arrangement which had, in almost every instance, produced the ruin of the poor fellows going out to the colonies on their allowance, who had in most cases returned home destitute, or remained to beg their bread in America? He wished to know whether, in these cases, the unfortunates had been replaced on the Pension List? He had observed tbat in one part of the Estimates there was mentioned a decrease of 19,0001., while in another place the de. crease appeared to be 61,0001. This discrepancy was owing to a defective arrangement of the Estimates, which the right hon. secretary would do well to correct. It appeared, also, from the Estimates, that the sum of 61,0001. per annum was paid by the East India Corn.. pany towards the Dead Weight; which sum ought, in his opinion, to be paid over to the Secretary at War to. wards diminishing the Army Estimates; and this he (Sir Henry) suggested should be done. Mr. ELLICE said that the first thing he had done, in coming into office, had been to put a stop to the commu tation of pensions' system, as be immediately saw how the pensioners suffered by the arrangement. Indeed no mistake could have been greater than that under which the originator of the plan laboured when he thought of ' sending poor old worn-out soldiers to the colonies to dig their bread out of the hard, uncultivated earth ; more particularly when it was considered how little the wounds or habits of living of the men fitted them for such a task. He had also, in as many instances as possible, restored their pensions to the unfortunate people, deducting the amount received by each in commutation. Sir 11. HARDINGE protested against having had any thing to do in promoting or supporting the commutation system, which, on the contrary, he bad done everything i n his power to put down, and in 1831, when the present Administration had come in, he strongly advised the right hon. member for Dundee (Sir H. Parnell) against forwarding the system. The only arrangement he had supported, was that which gave the 20,000 persons re ceiving pensions under the age of 35 years the opportunity of advano ing their fortunes in the colonies ; but he had never sanctioned the idea of making old or infirm pension ers commute their pensions. Sir H. PARNELL protested against being supposed the author of this system—(A laugh)—which was one he had always bad a particular objection to. On comin g i nto office he had found it established, but had always done his best to put an end to it. After a few words from Mr. SHAW and Mr. O'Dwarmt, Mr. LITTLETON said, if the degree of saving effected by doing away with the Kilm iinbam establishment were small, he would be the last man to support such a pro position, but he thought very differently of it when it was shown that the economy would be very large. There would be no violation of Parliamentary or testamentary endowments in breaking up the Irish establishment,which was created in Charles the Second's time, by a tax on the army in Ireland of 6d. each man. Mr. SHEIL opposed the breaking up of the establish ment in Ireland, which he was sure all Irishmen in the house, of whatever political party, would unite in sup. porting. Government did not seem to understand the golden mean between parsimony and prodigality. Mr. O'REILLY would not support the establishments in Ireland, because he felt that the Catholics in Ireland were none the better for them. Mr. O'CONNELL could not agree with the honourable member, for the fact was that the Catholics had equal ad mission with the Protestants to these schools--(Hear, hear)—and were allowed every facility for attending to their own reigioue duties. Mr. O'REILLY wished the hon. and learned member would move for a list of the Catholics who were so ad mitted, for he (Mr. O'Reilly) had never heard of any being admitted. In the mean time he would assure the govern ment they need fear no unpopularity among the Catholic Irish peasantry for any measure opposed by the ascendancy party, though buNorted by the hon. and learned member and his friends, who seemed to he shaking hands with each other.—(A laugh.) Mr. O'DWYER did not see why political antipathies should engender private friendships—(Shouts of laugh ter) — he meant to say that he did not agree with the honourable member in thinking, as he appeared to do, that political animosity should affect private frien,lship. The grant was then agreed to. _ _ A grant of 47,0001. was then proposed to defray the charge of compensations in the shipe of superanuuatinns, or retired allowances, to persons belonging to various public departments. Mr. HII.IIE did not understand on what principle the governor of the Royal Military College had a grant of 803/. per annum. Sir H. HARDINGE explained that this officer, Col. Butler, if be had nut been superannuated under this estimate, would have been entitled, by his services, to the rank of major-general of artillery, in which capacity lie would have received precisely the same amount as the mentioned. Colonel EVANS made an inquiry with reference to the fees paid in military colleges. Mr. ELLICE said the subject was under consideration. The grant was then agreed to. Mr. BERNAL then reported progress, and the house resumed.—Report to he received to-morrow. On the house going into committee on the Mutiny Bill Mr. ELLICE requested of Major Fancourt to post pone his motion with regard to military flogging, to which the hon. and gallant gentleman consented, with an under standing that it should be the first on Friday. The bill, having gone through the committee with some verbal amendments, was ordered to he reported to the house— to be received on Friday, and Major Fancourt's motion to come up with the report. JURIES (IRELAND) BILL. The order of the day for a committee of the whole house to go into the Juries (Ireland) Bill, was then read, and the bill passed through. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS BILL. ---7 On the question that the Bribery at Electi ons Bill be read a second time, Sir ROBERT PEEL said, the house would escape the difficulties in which it had been involved by the Liverpool and Carrickfergus investigations, if some better tribunal could be established for the purpose of inquiring into alleged cases of bribery a n d corr uption. He agreed, and he was sure the house would also agree, in the general object of the bill.—(He ar , h ear .) It was certainly highly desirable th it examples should be made in any instances where systematic bribery could he proved.—(Hear, hear.) He would call the attention of the house to the provision which, in case of an Election Committee being a ppointed, and allegations made either as to improper returns or general bribery, enabled the committee to inquire into both. He would ask the house whether it would not be better to keep these allegations distinct ? Ag pin ; in framing a tribunal for such purposes, the great object to be kept in view was, that it be so framed as to inspire confidence. Unless such tribunal obtained the full confidence of that and the other house, the re ports sent in might create a difference of opinion. An inquiry and discussion might take place in the House of Lords too late in the session to be satisfactorily concluded, and the whole business have to be begun again. His object in throwing out these suggestions, was to aid the noble lord in his proposed measure ; and therefore it was that be would have the allegation of systematic bribery first pro ceeded with, and then go into the inquiry of improper re turns. The selection of committees by chance was a very imperfect mode, and peculiarly so when the question was one of individual interest. To place the power of nomination in government would appear invidious. He saw no reason why the authority should net be vested in one in whom the house could place most implicit conti • dence. Why not intrust the nomination to the Speaker ? The house would at the same time reserve to itself a power of controlling this nomination. Committees thus ap' pointed and constituted by an act of parliament, com pelling attendance, should also have power to examine witnesses on oath, and thus more confidence would be created in them than would be reposed in any other way- The noble lord proposed that the report be laid before the Lords and Commons, and that both should address the Crown. He (Sir R. Peel) doubted the policy of this proposition. It was of the very first importance that that Louse, in pronouncing its opinion, should pronounce it on its own judgment, and if concurring in the report, should have grounds for that concurrence. The noble lord proposed that the committee should report on general bribery. He (Sir R. Peel) did not like these vague terms. He should wish the house, before it were called upon to express an opinion, to be put in pos session of the details, and have the extent of the evil speci fied. The noble lord's measure required the assent of the three branches of the legislature. Why introduce the novel measure of an address ? The address, too, was for the purpose of requiring the crown to suppress the frau. c hise, or merge that of small towns in their surrounding neighbourhood. lie (Sir R, Peel) did nit think this was aood In prineiplc. ,socti a prticgcrling 5y 9 , 1 14, b. a the area of waking coiCl444nciel of eni&l Co4Alica towns. In 111$ epinten, it Would be mere cenvenie n" to proceed by bill. Lord JOAN RUSSELL was glad the right hon. baro net had turned his attention to the subject, and hoped the house would see the importance of adopting some better method than that which at present existed. When be said he would give his best attention, to the suggestions of the right hon. baronet, he was not prepared to say that he agreed in his views. He admitted that the present mode of selecting committees was not the happiest, but could not approve of the right hon. baronet's suggestion, which would have the effect of placing the Speaker in an exceed ingly invidious situation. Mr. W. WYNNE addressed the house at some length, but was wholly inaudible in the gallery. Sir R. INGLIS said his own impression was, that the decision of the committee should be final. Lord ALTHORP thought the committee should report facts and opinions, but that their decision should not be final. Still the suggestion of the right hon. baronet was well worthy of serious consideration. Mr. TOOKE wished to know if it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to introduce a bill for the amend tnent of those imperfections in the Reform Act, which the Revising Barristers had pointed out ? Lord ALTHORP said the reports of the Revising Bar risters had been consolidated, and a measure founded on their suggestions was then under the consideration of the Government. Mr. WARBURTON said, as the reports were consoli dated, perhaps the noble lord would allow the house the benefit of them? Lord ALTHORP thought he was not at liberty to grant such a request; at all events, not then. Mr. WARBURTON would, perhaps, ask the question aptin. Mr. BAINES said, the most doubtful question was, whether the qualification, as it at present stood, was one of amount or of residence. He would observe, that if the list of Revising Barristers was taken as a standard by which voters could regulate their qualification, many diffi culties would be removed. The bill was then read a second time. On the question that it be committed on Monday next, Sir R. PEEL observed, that the clause which disfran chised a man for ever, gave an enormous power, and one to which the house could never expect the Lords to agree. As to the idea that the duty which he (Sir Robert Peel) wished to put upon the Speaker would place that right hon. gentleman in an invidious situation, he would ask if they ever looked upon a man who moved for a committee as so placed ? The bill was then ordered to be committed on Monday. The Legal Securities Bill was read a second time, as were also the Procurator Fiscal Bill, and the Ministers (Scot land) Bill. The Anatomy of Criminals (Ireland) Bill was, after a short conversation, advanced a stsg.e. DISSENTERS' RELIEF BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought in his bill for the re•• lief of the dissenters, which was read a first time. The noble lord proceeded to observe that although be did not the objections which had been made to the bill were in many respects well founded, yet be allowed he was not very sanguine as to its being acceptable to the great body for whose relief it was intended. It was, therefore, his • . .• intention to move that the bill be printed, and then to put off the second reading for a considerable time, in order to give an opportunity for ascertaining what was the precise nature of the obj, ctions made to the measure, and whether they were such as to afford any hope of their being obvi ated. He confessed that he did not himself see that he could make any extensive alteration in the bill ; and if the disinclination which had been manifested towards it were persevered in, he would only say that he should be the last man in the world to think of pressing upon a body of individual., for whom he entertained the greatest respect, a measure which had been introduced by him solely for their relief. The bill was then ordered to be read a second time on ae 28th of April, and be printed. PRIVATE BILL FEES. On the motion of Colonel LEITH HAY, a Select Committee was appointed to investigate the nature and amount of fees, charges, and expenses attendant upon the progress and passing of private bills, consisting of the fol lowing members:— Hay, Colonel L.

Mr. Gleig is deservedly a popular writer, and Allan Breck' is a novel of highs: pretensions than any which has yet pro ceeded from his pen. It is composed of the hair breadth 'scapes and adventures of the hero (after whom the work is called) in the armies of the Duke of Cumberland and the Young Pretender, mingled as these are with the hard fortunes of the clan to which he belongs. The cha r:eters of his mother and cousin are most skilfully drawn —and other personages are brought out with much inte rest. The author has also bestowed a good deal of pains, to some purpose, on the character of one Hatfield, a prac tised gambler. We must acknowledge that ' Allan Breck' is one of the most powerful and highly-wrought tales we ever read ; it teems with passages of intense in terest."—Edinburgh Evening Post. MARCH OF INTELLECT.—A chimney sweep was yesterday afternoon observed contemplating the at tractions of a bookseller's window, in which he was as. sisted by a very handsome eye glass, apparently silver mounted !—Birnainyhana Advertiser. CHANGE OF FORTUNE.—A fact transpired at Mountsorrel on Wednesday, which has ever since formed the general topic of conversation among its inhabitants, namely, that a wealthy shoe contractor named James Biddies, who left Mountsorrel for London more than fifty years ago as a journeyman, had died the preceding day in the metropolis, leaving behind him money and property to the amount of more than two hundred thousand pounds, to be divided between sixteen of his relatives and their children. The bearer of this intelligence was Lewis Slight, Esq., the town clerk of Brighton (formerly of this town), who is one of Mr. Biddles's executors. Mr. L. Biddies, a sheep jobber of Mountsorrel, who is eighty years of age, is the only surviving brother of the deceased. Another brother, John, died last year, after being in the employ of Mr. Priestly, maltater, of the same place, for many years. The other relatives are the sons and dauehters of these two brothers, some of whom Mr. Slight found at work as labourers in stone quarries, but who, by their uncle's death, have become entitled to about twenty thou sand pounds each. The testator, although he would have acted more wisely by distributing some of his wealth among his kindred while living, has acted judiciously in making his will : for, with the exception of five thousand pounds to be paid immediately to his brother, and a few sin di legacies to other persons in London, he has ordered that the bulk of his property shall remain together for ten r a a a r t s e , e s iandn theth a that e h a e n i t t i l in te e re . s t e i t h o a nl y sad s she d b e paid this course, o tu t s he e, we understand, in the hope that by the expiration of that period they will have become better able to take care of so large a sum of money, than they would if the whole amount was placed in their hands at once. The deceased at one time contemplated the foundation of a public cha rity, institutions but his a attentionre o t ofrequently being callers liable, ab t othle, he altered the abuses which such his mind in favour of his poor relations. To a young man who was his shops:lan, he has left his stock in trade and 2001. in money, with a request that he may be permitted to reside on the premises two years, rent free. To the wife of a neighbour, who sat up with him five nights be fore he died, he male a codicil to his will leaving her boa for her attention. When taken unwell, he would neither have medicine nor a doctor, and only lingered a very few days before he died. Although his property from small beginnings is so immense, it is by no means so great as it will be when a division is made at the end of the ten years, as he was the proprietor of many plots of building ground upon which whole streets have been erected, and the leases of which will fall in by that time. His brother and two of his nephews left this town yesterday morning by the Union, in company with the executor, to attend his funeral, which takes place on Tuesday (this day). Mrs. Biddies survives him, but, unhappily, is, and has long been in a state of mind which renders her incapable r ) f knowing tYkukt sat paqflos swnsAnd Hr.=phcisvicr Oronivic POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, Mr. Gray, one of the overseers of the poor of the hamlet of Mile•end Old Town, in the course of an investigation of a case relative to the allowance made by the officers of that hamlet to the mother of an illegitimate child, stated to the magistrates that the following were the charges of the hamlet for the past year, viz.:-- Nurse-book, 1,0501. Expense of twenty children in the workhouse, 2001. Allowance to other parishes for illegitimate children chargeable to the hamlet, 801. Inci dental expenses, 20/. Making altogether 1,350/. ; or a tax of sd. in the pound annually on the rate-payers of the hamlet. HAT T ON-GARDEN. Yesterday morning Edward Wright, the keeper of a register-office for the hiring of servants, No. 91, Hatton garden, was brought for further examination, charged with having obtained money under. false pretences. The case excited so much interest that the office and every avenue leading thereto were filled almost to suffo cation. Crowds of persons assembled around the house, 91, Hatton garden, which was closed during whole of the day, and on the prisoner being brought from the prison numerous persons hooted and groaned at him, and the officers bad considerable difficulty in protecting him. On being placed at the bar the rush was tremendous, and the pressure was so great that the magistrates ordered the doors to be thrown open, and the avenues cleared. Thomas Banquo Warwick, of Wickham-place, Hovon, is a married man. On the 24th of February he read an advertisement in the Morning Adertiser, that a man and his wife were wanted as servants, and that application was to be made after the situations at No. 91, Hatton garden. Witness went there, and saw the prisoner, whom he asked for the address of the parties advertising, when the prisoner gave him the address of Mr. Robertson, merchant and ship.agent, of 33, Crutcbedfriars. The prisoner required ss. to be paid, and on procuring a situa tien for him he was to pay a sovereign. He called on Mr. Robertson, who said that he bad never advertised for a man and his wife as servants, and said that it was a trick or imposition, when witness informed him that he had been sent by Mr. Wright, of 91, Hatton-garden. The prisoner sent him to a wine.merchant near Cavendish square, to Shacklewell-green, and many other places, after situations, but he sever succeeded in getting him one. Ihe parties to whom he was sent said it was a shame, and that they had been teased out of their lives, and their business, by no less than 500 applications by persons sent by the prisoner. Mr. Robertson, of 33, Crutchedfriars—ln February last he advertised two or three times in the Times and Morning Advertiser for two brewers to go to New South Wales. He never advertised for any other description of servants, nor did be ever authorize the prisoner to adver tise for him, or to send persons to him. Mr. LAING—The public is much indebted to you, Sir, for coming forward in this case. The prisoner has been guilty of wholesale swindling for three years past, or upwards, in this neighbourhood, and upon poor and unfortunate persons. John Betts, a country gardener, was the next witness. He smilingly said—" I bees a gardner, Zur, and I cued up to Lunnun for a sitiation, d'ye see ; so I reads in the Morning Addetiser noospeaper that a sarving-man was wanting at 91, Hatton-garden. Zo toddled off hither, and seed a Mr. Wioight ; that man there (pointing at the prisoner). Zo he made I pay 105., becase, d'ye see, I wanted a sitiation as zoon as possible, you know ; zo he told 1 that for 10s. he could get one direct, but if it was only 55., I should have to wait sum time. Zo I guv the 10s., and he sent! to Colonel Stanhope, of Brixton, who had a small garden, and he laughed at I and said that he only had a handful of flowers that a child might attend to. He axed I who sent I, and I said Measter Wroight, of 91, Hatton-garden, and he said that it was all wrong, and that Wroight had hoax'd or swindled I out of my 10s.—(Laughter.) I found that oot since ; but he now got a sitiation, and I don't care thot about the 10s., and he may keep that to himsen.—(Laughter.) Mr. LAING—Are there any other persons to complain? Waddington—There are 100 persons outside waiting to be called in. • Here a host of individuals rushed into the office. Two respectable looking young men said, that i❑ consequence of seeing an advertisement in the newspapers, the Times and Advertiser, that travellers were wanted at 91, Hat ton-garden, they applied, and saw the prisoner, who plc). posed that he should receive a deposit of 2s. 6d. and 55., and he sent them to Fallis, Virtue and Co., of Green- Arbour-court, Old Bailey, but on application they were informed that they were not in want of travellers; they had been repeatedly annoyed by applications from Mr. Wright's office, and they had been imposed upon. The prisoner here whispered to a man in the office who was about to leave the Court. Mr. LAING called him back and inquired what he said :o him? He only requested me not to make his case worse ;ban it was. Mr. LAJNG—How has he imposed upon you ?—I read an advertisement for a messenger, and the prisoner requirLd 131. snurity. I paid 51. down, and he than said that the situation was in his own shop. I afterwards heard of his character, and never entered the situation, and lust my money. A young man, a clerk, applied also to the prisoner through advertisement, when he paid down 51. as security, when the prisoner employed him as clerk in his own office, at 15s. per week. Mr. LAING—What did you give the security for? Witness—He said that it was for money which would pass through his hands. Several other persons were engaged for the same situation, and they gave 51. security. Mr. LAING—Did you ever get any salary ? Witness—Only three weeks, your Worship. Several other persons, bakers, clerks, footmen, grooms, and waiters, who had been duped, made similar state ments, some having parted with Si., others ss. and 2s. 6d. Mr. LAING said he was determined to send the prisoner before a jury of his country, for a more abominable system of wholesale swindling he had never heard of. The prisoner was committed for trial on the first charge, but ordered to be brought up again on Saturday next. It was here utated that after the prisoner was taken into custody, Mrs. Wright received money under similar circumstances. She was outside the office, when she was brought in, and ordered to be in attendance on Saturday next. She was much affected. She has eight children. T HAMES-P OLICE. Yesterday four List' coal-whippers, named John Ken nedy, Timothy M'Carthy, Cornedus Hay ey, and Jeremiah Roche, were brought for final examination, charged with committing a most brutal and violent assault on William Menus, a young waterman, on the morning of Saturday, the Ist inst., at New Crane Stairs, Shadwell. The prisoners M'Carthy, Hayley, and Roche were ap prehended a few hours after the outrage was committed by the Thames police. The other man, Kennedy, was secured under rather curious circumstances. As Munns was getting out of a cab which brought him from the hospital to the office, he r ecognized Kennedy amongst a mob of coal• whippers assembled in the street, and itn• mediately pointed him out to Evans, the principal sur veyor of 'Thames police, who took him into custody. The prosecutor, who appeared in a very weak state, was accommodated with a chair while giving his evidence. th H oe i ha i v f de e rb lv ec a ee s for been yemd injuries it,ju r s e veraldreadfully day es w h s i c d ihl el ill-used. so eu paired f .d d of, and affect ‘v he appears to bis stated teddu p rt e ih a na r t during the remainder of his life. Munns related the circumstances of the outrage at length, as they have been already detailed in our paper, anti identified Kennedy, Rayley, and Roche, as three of the men who attacked him; and after beating and kick• ing him in a most savage manner, thr e w him down and jumped upon bin until he was quite insensible. John George Munns, a waterinanf the lather of the pro.ecutor, on the day in question took off a fare iu his boat to a collier in the tier off New Crane-stairs. Al'Cartliy was on board one ship, and Roche on another. M'Carthy said "I have paid 14s. 6d. for the -, and I'll serve hitn out yet." Roche answered him and said, "Did you hear what music we had this morning ? He has got served out, but he has not got half enough of it.'' He was certain those words were Mr. BILODERIP—I believe that M'Carthy had to pay 6d. fine and costs far an assault ou your son ? Mune —He had, Sir. Mr. BRODERIP—And he appeared on a former occa sion against some coalwhippers, who assaulted a trades. man? Munns—He did, Sir. _ . AIL% Hill—l don't see how the evidence implicates M'Carthy at all. Mr. BuonEuir said the evidence of the father impli cated him very strongly. Enough had been stated to warrant him in holding him to bail to keep the peace towards young Munns, and all his Majesty's subjects, ioi the next twelve months, and he required him to enter into his own recognizances in the sum of 40/., and two sureties of 201. each. With regard to the other three men, he ordered each of the prisoners to find bail, them eelyes in 2001., and two iountita of 1004 each, to appeal and take their trials at the twit pespiime, . • require 24 hours' . notice to inquire . into the so lvency of the sureties.
