COMPARATIVE MERITS or SPADE AND PLOUGH HUSBANDRY. (From. Arr. Mackie's Essay on the Management of Landed Property in Ireland.) My advice to small farmers would be, to rely more on their own exertions, and, by beginning early to their labour, insure their being able to get in their crop without depending on that assistance which they cannot be certain of being able to procure. In a country like Ireland, where so great a proportion of the poor man's labour consists in the cultivation of his potatoe crop, nothing_ would more facilitate what I have just recommended than the practice of putting the manure into the ground according as it was made, leaving for the spring only the labour of dropping in tle seed at the back of the spade, which, besides making - the manure go nearly one-third farther, possesses this additional advantage, that it employs the poor man at a season when it is most difficult to get employment t.Mewhere ; and by getting the heavy part of the work over, and leaving that only to be performed which a boy or a girl can do, it insures the seed being put into the ground before the season is too far advanced—a most material advantage—for when the planting of the potatoe is delayed to a late period, the plant has not time to attain to maturity, but is killed by the early frosts, in a growing state, which is sure to ren der it wet and unwholesome, and also to prevent its keeping. In favour of this plan I might also urge, that in the fall of the year there is a greater facility in getting , horses to hire than in spring, and the assis tance of the plough and harrow might most advanta- Geously be then called in, to prepare the ground and lessen the amount of manual labour ; for although I am decidedly against any small farmer keeping a horse, unless lie has some other mode of employing him than what a small farm will afford, I am perfectly sensible of the full value of the plough and harrow, and the expedition and comparative ease with which the operations of agriculture can be carried on by calling in their aid : the effectual destruc tion of weeds by means of the summer fallow— the facility which it gives to the cultivation of drill crops, &c., and I should fully sanction the small far mer in availing himself of such valuable assistance ; whenever it could be had in due season, provided he had sufficient employment for himself otherwise ; as in country situations there is often no demand for his ser vices, and in such a case, whatever can be done by ma nual labour he ought to do, and I fear that laziness is the true cause why this is not more generally practised. But although I am ready to admit that all that can be said in favour of the plough and harrow, it must be acknowledged that on a small scale everything they can accomplish may also be attained without them by manual labour and industry. If fallowing cleans the land, by destroying the weeds as they vegetate upon the surface, the spade destroys them in the operation of trenching, by burrying them so deep that we cannot vegetate at all ; the cost is not much more, even if the farmer has to hire assistance, and the advantage in all deep clay soils, by being turned up to the frost in this way, is scarcely to be imagined. In drill crops also, the spade, the hoe, and the scuffle, can be used in wet seasons, when the plough cannot, and a succession of drill crops may be obtained by the use of the spade, such as would be wholly impossible by the use of the plough, which all gardening proves; and this is what cottage farming ought to aspire to. I think it therefore quite clear, that no farmer should keep a horse upon less, I should say, than twenty-five acres, in which case he may get some neighbour, similarly circumstanced, to join him in doing their mutual work, and with what extra em ployment he may casually obtain, by that means find constant work for him. It may, however, happen that in many parts of Ireland where limestone and 'fuel have to be drawn from a distance, constant work for a horse may be found upon a smaller farm, and in such cases the keeping one will be always advisable. It is not the keeping of the horse when he is kept busy, but when he is kept idle, that is to be objected to : where it could be accomplished, I consider a landlord would serve his tenantry much, by establishing a ploughman, well appointed in plough and horses, and allot him a certain district, of which he was to have the ploughing upon fair terms, and let him make a regular trade of doing the horse work of the rest of the tenants, and by that means secure to them the advantage of getting their horse work done in proper time, which will undoubt edly render the joint application of plough and spade husbandry superior to either singly. I am firmly persuaded, that the small farmer who holds his own plough or digs his own ground, if hefol lows a proper rotation of crops, and feeds his cattle in the house, can undersell the large farmer, or in other words, can pay a rent which the other cannot afford ; and in this lam confirmed by the opinion of many practical men who have well considered the subject • and I think it will not appear extraordinary that such should be the vase to any one who reflects that the English farmer of 700 or 800 acres is a kind of man approaching to what is known by the name of a gentleman farmer in this country. He must have his horse to ride, and his gig, and perhaps an overseer to attend to his la bourers ; he certainly cannot superintend himself the labour going on in a farm of eight hundred acres. Add to this, he must appear himself, and have his family also to appear, in a superior rank, and his farm must not only enable him to pay his rent, and yield him the support he requires, bnt it must also be chargeable with the interest of the large capital which is neces sary to its cultivation ; besides all these drawbacks, which the small farmer knows little about, there is the great expense of carting out the manure from the homestead to such a great distance, and again carting home the crop. A single horse will consume the produce of more land than would feed a small farmer and his wife, and two children ; and, what is more than all, the large fanner says to his labourers go to your work, but when the small farmer has occasion to hire them, he says come ; the intelligent reader will, I dare say, understand the difference perfectly. Now if it is really the case that the small farmer has the advantage over the larger, it will be easily accounting for what Mr. Poulett Scrope observes, in his letter to the agriculturists of the west of England, of the Irish farmers being able to undersell the Eng lish in their own markets, because the Irish farmers are, generally speaking, small farmers, and the Eng lish are large farmers. Mr. Scrope accounts for the fact which he asserts, of the Irish being able to sell their grain at such low prices, by stating that they are free from the burden of poor rates, and the taxes which press on the Eng lish ; but he upsets his own argument by afterwards saying that the Irish farmer is obliged to pay to his landlord all that he saves from the overseer. Now if the money goes out of the farmer's pocket, any one may see that it must be matter of indifference whom he pays it to; and if he must give it to the landlord, he is not thereby at all better off than the English farmer who gives it to the overseer. As to the taxes, they come to a trifling charge per quarter on the grain ; I will venture to say, not the filth part of what the Irish grain is subject to before it reaches the English market : say freight and charges of shipping and unshipping, storing'and delivering, commission on buying and commission on selling, or if the business is done on account of the merchant, there must then be a profit to the Irish merchant, and a profit to the English 'Merchant likewise, or the trade cannot be carried on.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 19th instant has the following, bf the 29th ult., from Constantinople : " The festivities on the marriage of the Princess Sa liha, began on the 24th. The Sultan, attended by all his Court, went in state from the Seraglio of Constan tinople to that of Beschiktasch, on the 23d ; the pro cession was sumptuous. In the evening both shores of the Bosphorus are illuminated, and fireworks of every description are seen rising in the air. The ho tels of the Ambassadors at Bujukderc and Therapia are brilliantly lit up. The son-in-law of the Sultan, Halil Pacha, is lodged in a beautiful pavilion near the Grand Seignor's Palace. Pavilions are also in readi ness for the Ministers of the Porte, also for the gran dees of the empire. The principal ceremonies are taking place in the Kiosk of the Grand Vizier. On the 24th the high priests, called Scheiks, Katziaskars, and Ulemas, were invited to dinner. The Scheik of Koniah, who is in high veneration among the Turks, will attend the public banquet to-day. These ban quets are held in the Kiosk of the Grand Vizier ; the tables are laid under tents, and from 600 to 700 dishes are daily sent from the Sultan's kitchen. Public order has not been disturbed, owing to the excellent arrange ments of the police. No one is allowed to go to the narrow and dangerous quays of the Bosphorus after dusk, and the Turkish women are strictly forbidden to appear out at night. The rebel Kadri, who was given up by Ismael Bey, has been beheaded, and his head sent here." The Gazette has the follow ing from Nauplia, dated the sth :—" Count Arman sperg lost much of his popularity after the conspiracy of the armed chiefs, the object of which was a change in the Regency ; his intimate connexion with the Bri tish ambassador, Mr. Dawkins, is disapproved of by the Greeks ; there will no longer be any indecision in the Regency • what was hitherto supported with pa tience will nOw• be forcibly opposed." It quotes the funds at Vienna on the 14th inst., Metalliques, Five per Cents., 99 3-9 ; ditto, Four per Cents., 90,i- ; Bank Actions, 1,275. The Berlin State Gazette of the 17th inst. quotes Prussian Four per Cents. 99+ 981. The Prussian Government, in compliance with the representations of the Provincial States of the Grand Duchy of Posen, has lately made many useful reforms in the administration of justice in that country. The Suabian Mercury makes mention of a treaty of commerce being concluded between Hanover and Brunswick, to which Oldenburg, Mecklenburg, and the Hanse Towns are invited to accede. This alliance would form a sort of counterpoise to the Prussian sys tem of customs. FRENCH FUNDS.—Paiits, JuziE24. Five per Cents., 106 f. 30c. 20c. 25c. Four per Cents., 93f. 75c.

Bankes, Esq., M.P., entertained the Earl and Countess of Falmouth and a distinguished party at dinner on Tuesday, at his house, Old Palace-yard. We have just seen proof impressions of two of the illustrations of the f orthcoming number of the Court Magazine. One is a full front view of Low ther Castle, with its vast array of woods and mountain scenery ; the other, a portrait of the Right Hon. Lady Lowth, which is executed with skill and delicacy. During the past week, Mr. Lowe, landlord of the Tiger public-house, at Wirksworth, has been greatly alarmed by a noise in one of the sleeping rooms, similar to the opening and shutting of a box with great violence, and sometimes it appeared as if a table-leaf was flapping backward and forward. The noise was so loud as to be heard by the neighbours, as well as by Lowe and his family. The ghost is not visible, but many out of curiosity have been induced to visit the room in which its terrifying pranks were played. Crowds or people have also been collected outside to listen to the intruder, which has caused a great deal of money to be spent, and been the means of tilling Boldface's pockets, and emptying his cellars. Thursday evening, a party of respectable gentlemen met by appointment at the. Tiger, with the intention of attempting to allay the ghost, but it did not choose to exhibit before so large an audience, although seve ral stayed till past the witching hour of night.

In another part of The Sun will be found some particulars respecting the arrival of th e gallant Admiral NAPIER at Portsmouth. He landed there on the morning of the 25th, and met with a most triumphant and enthusiastic recep tion from all classes. Our correspondent, who was pres6nt on the occasion, says, " Never, since the landing .of NELSON, have we wit nessed such a scene." We need scarcely inform our readers that it is Admiral NAPIER'S intention immediately to propose himself as a candidate for Portsmouth ; still less need we add that his success is certain, for, of course, no one will be fool-hardy enough to enter the lists against him. It is in happy accordance with, what Philosopher Square would call, " the fit ness of things," that one of our greatest living naval heroes should be returned for one of our greatest naval towns. Admiral NAPIER has been the main prop and pillar of the throne of the young Queen of PORTUGAL ; he it was who restored her to her capital ; who gave the first decisive shock to the power of Don MI- GU E L—a shock which that arch despot never recovered, and which was not con fined in its stunning effects to Portugal alone, but reacted favourably for the cause of constitutional freedom throughout the Penin sula. Before " brave Charley Napier,"—as his brother officers, with whom he is a great favourite, familiarly call him—took an active part in the Portuguese struggle, into which he threw himself with all his characteristic energy, the cause of Don PEDRO was in a sad, see-saw condition, up one day, down the next ; but the instant the Gallant Admiral embarked in it, he put an end to its feeble, va cillating movements, gave it firmness and stabi lity, was its chief propelling power, and carried it forward to a successful end. He now comes crowned with laurel, with a name that has re sounded through Europe, to receive his reward at the hands of those who know how to appre ciate such heroism ; and, we doubt not, will carry into the Senate all the shrewchipss and energy that distinguished him on the quarter deck. Nothing can show more clearly the unfitness and unwillingness of the Bishops to reform the Church than the admission of the Archbishop of CANT ERBURY last evening, that he and the other learned prelates had been for three years engaged in considering the best means of abating the evils of non-residence, and the only result of this long consideration was, that they found the subject full of difficulties. Was there ever such mockery—such trifling with the reli gious feelings of the people as this ? We have thoUsands of parishes without minis ters of religion, besides thousands where the rector performs the duties by deputy, and neglects the religious and moral instruction of his flock. We see the Dissenters gaining ground every day, not because the people of England have any dislike to the doctrines and services of the Established Church, but because the clergy will not reside among them and attend to their spiritual wants ; and though the injustice and ruinous consequences of such a crying grievance are apparent to every layman in the kingdom, we find that three prelates, after consulting and deliberating for three years, can find out no remedy, and , only come to this miserable conclusion, that it would be desirable to enforce residence, if it can be done without distressing the clergyman. This salvo—this important word " if," explains the whole mat= ter ; they think of the clergy and not of their flocks ; and unless -church reform were pressed on them from without—unless the people were to press the subject on the Le gislature, and some Commoner or lay Peer were to rouse them to a sense of their danger, they would sit blind as owls in the noontide sun, and only see the danger when the whole fabric was falling in pieces around them. Such a charge is advanced, not from hearsay evidence, but from the showing and admission, and the legislative conduct of the bench of Bishops themselves. They have seats in the House of Lords solely for the purpose of preserving the purity, the usefulness and stability of the Church, yet what have they done to repair its defects or secure its stability ? Whenever the three great est blemishes of the Church—tithes, plurali ties, and non-residence--have been brought un der the cognizame of Parliament in the shape of a bill, they have raised insuperable objec tions to almost every clause ; when the subject has been left to themselves they have deliberated sometimes for six months, sometimes for three years, and either doing nothing, or produced such an abortion as that of the Archbishop of CANTER BURY two years ago,when under pretence of abat ing the evils of pluralities, he would diminish the. distance at which a clergyman could hold two livings from 45 to 35 miles I When Church Reform was pressed on them by the Govern ment last year, the LORD CHANCELLOR de clared in the house, and no bishop denied it, • that they deliberated for three months, and when the Government wished to know what progress had been made, they found that the heads of the church had not advanced one step, after a deliberation of three years, on non-residence. The Archbishop admits that the result was the same, and if they had been blessed with the longevity of Methuselah, and had deliberated for three hundred years, they would have been as distant from the point as ever. When the subject is at last brought forward by the LORD CHANCELLOR, and a bill introduced for abolishing two of the greatest blemishes of the church, there is one universal outcry against his lordship ; and their lay organ in the house chaunts a hymn which will be re peated in full chorus, " he objected to every clause in the bill." The public and Parliament thus know what sort of ecclesiastical reform may be expected from the high church party, and will act accordingly. The LORD CHAN CELLOR appears inclined (probably from the opposition he has received) to give up one of the bills for this session, and the only excase that can be admitted for this is expediency. One bill may be carried ; but if both are urged at once, the lateness of the session might af ford the anti-reform party—the great object of their wishes—a little more delay. His Lord ship, however, is not a man to be deterred by such opponents ; knowing, too, as he does, that by passing reform he will be supported by nearly the whole of the people 'of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and render the most es sential service to the Established Church. The small minority in the Lords on the Jewish Emancipation Bill is ascribed to the absence (in the expectation of a long debate) of a great many noble lords who intended to vote for it. Several, who were formerly op posed to the Jews, are now very eager friends to their cause. Amongst them we may men tion one, whose prejudices have at length sub sided, and whose conversion cannot be deemed a matter of trifling importance. We allude to Lord DURHAM, who not only voted for the bill, but would, had the division not been called for so soon, have made a speech in its favour. Those who know the strength of ! Lord DURHAM'S feelings, and the freedom with which he used to express his opinions on this question, will not despair of winning over even the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. The Jews should print a million copies of the admirable speech in their favour delivered last year by the Archbishop of DUBLIN, and cir- Iculate them in every direction. Their cause is just, but it can only be gained by frequent dis cussion, and by proving how unworthy they are :o be degraded by their fellow-subjects. The speech of Lord JOHN RUSSELL 011 the Irish Tithe Bill, the other night, was one of the best, perhaps the very best, his Lordship ever made. No one can doubt the noble lord's sincerity or firmness, or that he expresses the opinions of the Cabinet on this vital question. Sir ROBERT PEEL made, perhaps, as good a speech on the other side as could well be made ; but it is evident that this able debater has not well examined the subject. There is a fallacy in all his argumentations. He refers through out to the Clergy as the Church, whereas they are merely the servants of the Church, anpoproiginhtd and tetorenipad remuneration y io te nhfosrtate, labourand wh c i a h n have e To enable either do not or cannot perf orm • them to make fortunes is n ot a religious pur o be pose strictly; th e religious su ehbu t e education can religion ion of the young gin have to would do with the excessive remuneration of individuals even for actual service ; but where no service has been or can be performed, it is surely irreligious, because unjust, to appropriate that money to personal objects, such as the enriching , individuals or families, which would be re ligiously, because justly, employed in teach ing the poor to peruse and examine for themselves the Holy Scriptures, the foundation of the Christian religion. Will Sir ROBERT PEEL, or will Mr. STANLEY affirm that to give an individual ten thousand pounds a year, in stead of founding fifty schools, in each of which five hundred children might be taught the prin ciples of Christianity, is the most effectual me thod of diffusing the truths on which all the hopes of man, in reference to futurity, are built? It is too absurd to be seriously argued for a mo ment. The man who pretends to maintain such an opinion, must either be excessively ignorant, or, what is worse, dishonest. The French Journals still continue to be filled with election matters. Messrs. LA FI TTE and ()DILLON BARROT, though unsuccessful at Paris and Strasburg, have been returned by other electoral colleges. The former, having without his previous kn ow ledge, been returned for that city by a b at ee ß n great majority. o p u r e n i , o Isieadd, There is a very short answer to the attack of the Times on the Government for not sending away General MORENO. They have no power to do any such thing. He can neither be tried in this country nor expelled from it. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL U. SHORE. The Lord Chancellor, Mr. Justice Littledalc, and Mr. Baron Parke, took their seats in Lincoln's Inn Hall, at half past ten o'clock. Their lordships were accompanied on the bench by Lord Morpeth and Lord Lascelles, and a great number of respectable persons crowded the Court to hear the decision in this matter of Lady Hewley's Charity. It was fully dis cussed very recently before his Honour the Vice- Chancellor, when the details were given to the public, and the present hearing is an appeal from his Honour's. decision. Since the appeal was lodged, the Lord Chancellor has made many efforts to get the parties to pass over his court, and take the question at once to the House of Lords, whither, he was informed, it must go, whatever might be his opinion. All overtures, offers of facility to hear, and pledges of immediate disposal of it in the Lords, were however of no avail. The parties considered they had a right to be heard here, and this was the morning ap pointed for it. The fund at stake is very considerable, but probably, in the result, some parties may find that because the fund is a large charitable fund it does not therefore follow that it is to be greatly exhausted by wholly unnecessary and most expensive litigation.

Admiral Napier, on board the Duchess of Braganza frigate has arrived at Portsmouth, and taken up his residence cpposite Don Carlos. Charlestown papers to the 27th May, and Demerara papers to the 13th May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The for mer papers state, by accounts from Havre, that the French Government had despatched a sloop of war from Brest for the United States with despatches for the American Government of such a character as, it was presumed, would be satisfactory. The venerable Maddison is' expected soon to close his earthly pilgrimage. The Demerara papers contain the expenditure and revenue of the last year, and the estimates and ways and means of the present, by which it appears that a very considerable reduction has been effected in the fixed salaries of public officers. The great measure of emancipation and its accom panying sugar plumb—shall we call it of compensa tion, will be finally completed with safety, and with as much satisfaction to the West Indian, as it is possible for them under such untoward circumstances to feel. We have received Barbadoes Papers to the ISt o May ; they do not contain any political news of im. portance. THE. FUNDS. The express from Paris chiefly relates to the elec tions ; 226 deputies have been returned, and 40 mem bers of the opposition have not been re-elected. Some of the Paris papers put great stress on the intelligence given in the Augsburg Gazette, that the Sultan, expecting a new rupture with the Paella of Egypt, had applied to Russia for assistance. Accord ing to information from Constantinople, there cer tainly appears great bustle in the Cabinet there ; for two successive days the Divan assembled, and on the latter day sat six hours, and on its breaking up a great number of Tartars were despatched into the interior of the country ; also several officers were sent to the Dardanelles ; and an express, with de spatches and instructions to Odessa to the Russian Governor-General. f or the Consols, which left off yesterday at 92-8 with Account, opened at the same price this mmorning,morning,done the appearance of a heavy mar ket ; but little as yet. open ing price was Spanish was also heavy : the t res ent it is ; soon after it rece ded to 471; pat resent 47A.

The recent death of Admiral Manby, at Southampton, was occasioned by his accidentally taking an over-dose of opium. He was in his 67th 'year, and was brother to Capt. Manby, the inventor of the life-preserving apparatus. The scarlet fever is very prevalent at this time.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JUNE 24. —Very little business has been done in our cotton market this day. The sales are limited to about 1,000 bags ; Pernams at 11p. to 12ld. ; Maranhams, ; Bahias, 104 d. to loid. ; a few Orleans at 10d. ; and Boweds at 9d. to 91d. per lb. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, THURSDAY, Jus2 25. HOUSE OF COMMONS The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. Mr. FITZSIMON presented it petition in favour of the King's Town Improvement Bill. LORD'S DAY BILL.—(No. 2.) The house resolved itself into a committee on the Lord's Day Bill. Mr. JERVIS chairman. Clause 9, providing against keeping open shops, by the infliction of a penalty. 11r l . ow P e O d. TT ER said this clause was an attempt to revive an act passed 158 years ago, and proposed as amendment that the sale of confectionary, fruit, soda , water, ginger -beer, and other unintoxicating liquors be all Mr. POUL TER resisted the introduction of the clause, as being calculated to cause the setting up a new trade all over the country, for the sale of fruit and confectionary on the Lord's Day. He laid no t wish to increase the power of the law, but he would not agree to diminish it. He said, without such ex ceptions the people would be driven to beer-shops, which were allowed to remain open. The gallery was cleared for a division, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority Mr. PO ULTER proposed a further amendment, for permitting the sale of fish and butcher's meat be ige half-past nine o'clock in the morning, and per mitting the keeping open of baking-houses until two o'clock. Mr. PO ULTE R said, that as the bill in another clause provided for the payment of wages on Saturday in sufficient time to prevent the necessity of Sunday marketing, he should resist the amendment. Mr. O'CONNELL said it was quite trifling to occupy the time of the house in legislating on such a bill, and hoped the hon. and learned member would give it up. He remembered London forty years ago, and he would put it to any man who also recollected the state of London, even for twenty years, whether the observance of the Sabbath had not increased, while the rigour of the law was relaxed. (Hear.) He should move that the report be received that day xis months. (Hear.) Mr. FOULTER said there was a call for some moderate measure in every part of the kingdom. (Cries of " No, no.") He did not wish to alter the present spirit of the law, but only to remove some gross evasions. Mr. O'CONNELL replied. Mr. F. PALMER said there were a large number of single working men who could not get victuals on the Sunday if there were no shops open for thou ( Hear, hear.) Mr. WARD was of opinion that legislation would only have the effect of increasing the evils complained of. (Hear.) Mr. FINCH opposed the amendment. 111 r. GISBORNE said, if it was attempted to carrY legislation on this subject one whit beyond the feeling of the country, it would be ineffectual ; and if the feeling of the country was in favour of the general observance of the Sabbath, legislation would be un necessary. (Hear.) He hoped the hon. member would withdraw the bill. Mr. PO ULTE R explained. Mr. O'CONNELL said, as . there was already so much legislation on the subject, it was unnecessary to manag d e d tAir t ril o .de a i o t tiv , fe a At he the chair. should amu irnnf t yoo h ,pa re hoped get r gt e oh e m t h o hr v oo e uu t gs h eh a tt would h eo e ucl c lda h u a ir he not with a view to make it more acceptable to the public. Mr. PRYME concurred with the hon. member. for Dover. Lord SANDON said he should support the gene ral principle of the bill ; but he could not agree to that clause making it imperative for masters to pay . their workmen on Saturdays. Sir G. GREY said the course pursued by the hon. and learned gentleman opposite, was most extraordi nary, after the house had given permission to intro duce such a bill. Let the house treat the bill fairly, and not agree to throw it out in the way proposed by the hon. and learned member. Mr. BEAUMONT condemned the bill as fanatical and hoped the hon. and learned member for Dublin would press his motion to a division, that the country might see who supported such /!puritanical measur e. After a few words from Mr. GISBORNE, *- O'DWYER, Sir A. AGNEW, and other hon. members, The , gallery was cleared for a division on Mr. O'CONNELL'S motion, when there appeared— For the Bill Against it -35 Majority On our return to the gallery, Mr. HALCOMB was on his legs, sug gestuThg to the hon. member for Wigan (Mr. Potter) to withdraw his amendment, at least that part which allowed bake houses to remain open till 2 o'clock. Mr. POTTER thought that the clause, as it ori ginally stood, would satisfy ev er y purpose of the amendment. Mr. O'CONNELL said there w e r e acts at present allowing bake-houses to remain open till half-past 1. The present bill defeated those acts. (" No," from Mr. Poulter.) It was imposs ible to understand what was the meaning of the bill of the hon. member, as must always be the case when they attempted to legis late upon subjects which were not fit for legislation. , 0 t t h o e r t he timese ffe c e t te th e p a that After a few words from Mr. HALCOMB and Mr. A d a L t C b ° a e m ll ß added to the last sale of fruit and green groceriesPLUMPTßE, the house divided upon Mr. Potter's service." amendment, when there appeared — For Againstthe amendment it....... j.0.r.i.t..y............................................................ 562231 On our return to the gallery, we found the house discussing an amendment which had been moved dur- OULBURN and Mr. itaanht amendment jAeonnffudtgo our After absence rd:ws, boboToryerfdhd words from allowed a s d A t i l v r s itnh o ee l I l Mr. G O'CONNELL, the committee divided upon the amend ment, when there appeared— For the amendment 27 Against it Majority ... 7 ........... —29 On our re-entrance to the gallery we found the house discussing the " wages clause," which, after a short conversation was withdrawn. On the fifth clause being read, Mr. O'CONNELL said that the clause would greatly facilitate extortion, and would certainly divide the house upon it. Mr. POULTER said that the hon. and learned member for Dublin did not appear to understand the clause. The clause went merely to prevent parties getting out of the jurisdiction of the place where the offence was committed, and thus escaping punishment. Mr. POLLOCK suggested that the clause should be withdrawn, which was accordingly done. Clause 6 was agreed to without alteration, as were clauses 7 and 8, a nd the preamble. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice, that on the bringing up of the report he would move that the report be read that day six months. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress and left the chair, which was taken by the Speaker. d The report of the Committee was b rou g ht up, an the Chairma n of the Committee moved that it be re ceived on Monday next.
