(Signed) "J. P. VAN NESS." The following is the translation of the reply of M. Mar. tinez de la Rosa : " At the Palace, June 12. " The multiplicity of business which the department of State has been charged with since her Majesty the Queen Regent -eras pleased to intrust me with that office, has pre vented my giving an earlier reply to the several applications - which your Excellency, in pursuance of instructions from your government, has made to me respecting the importance and expediency,' to use your Excellency's own words, 'of a prompt and just arrangement of the American question.' " Her Majesty, in her wisdom, cannot but be aware of the advantages of being relieved from an uncertain position, and of adopting a definite decision in regard to the vast territories alluded to; and, for my part, if my humble opinion be consi dered of any weight in determining the measures of her Ma- Ksty, I can ass ure y our E xce ll ency t h at as soon as the late King Don Ferdinand did me the honour to appoint me to this department, ten years ago, I called the attentii.n of the Go vernment to this interesting question, from the persuasion I was under of the injury and loss which would accrue from any de 'lay in the settlement of it ; and because it appeared to me suite practicable, at least such was then my opinion, as it is now, to consolidate the interests of our brethren in South America with the interests of the Peninsula, by the adoption of a basis reciprocally great and advantageous. " For the accomplishment of this object his Majesty's Go vernment despatched at that period special commissioners who were furnished with the necessary instructions, and were directed to announce a cessa ti on o f h ost ili t i es , and to propose, as a preliminary step towards the removal of the political diffi culties, the re-establishment of the commercial relations of the two countries. The great events which soon after occurred, and which are too well known to require being recorded, pre vented the fulfilment of the wish, as then entertained by the Spanish Government, and this great and interesting question has remained in a state of suspense from that time to the present. " The decision of it, however, is desired by the Queen Regent, who in the government uf 1111 cny is guided by v. imeritt and enlightened policy, and her Majesty has accordingly authorised me to communicate to the diplo matic agents of Spain in foreign courts, especially those in Paris and London, the necessary instructions, to the end that if any commissioners present themselves with powers and in ettuctions of a nature to offer to Spain a just and honourable arrangement, they may afford such commissioners all the faci lities and guarantees they may desire, with the assurance that they will find her Majesty animated by the most favourable dispositions. Her Majesty has, at the same time, authorised me to make to your Excellency this frank declaration, in order that you may communicate the same to your government, in return for the wishes expressed by it of an early conclusion of this inte resting question ; and as her Majesty feels confident, after consulting her personal feelings without disregarding the sug gestions of a sound policy, that nothing would be more easy than to effect a reconciliation of parties who, in all respects, may consider themselves as children of the same family, when once they shall have consented to an interview. Her Majesty entertains the hope that as soon as negotiations may be entered upon in a spirit of sincerity and good faith, the object in ques tion, which, as is expressed with much precision in your Ex cellency's note, is ' a mutual reconciliation and final conclu sion of the differences of the parties advantageous and honour able to all, will be completely realised.' " Renewing to your Excellency the assurance, &c. (Signed) "F. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA." PUNISHMENT OF THE OFFENCES OF CHILDREN. There is now confined in Newgate to await his trial a child only eight years of age, named John Walsby, who was com mitted by Mr. Bennett, the Police Magistrate of Worship street, and is entered in the calendar as a prisoner for trial, for stealing the sum of 2s. 2d., the money's of Henry Snowden. The boy was, on a previous occasion, charged with having stolen a penny roll before the same Magistrate, who, it is believed, committed him to prison in the benevolent hope that the unprotected condition of a poor infant might excite com passion amongst those who superintend the prison of Newgate, and lead to some arrangement likely to save him from utter ruin. Whatever might have induced the Magistrate to send the child into the gaol of Newgate, where it is so difficult to prevent the rapid spread of moral contamination, it is certain that the warrant of commitment was received with a start of astonishment, even by those who are in the habit of witnessing accusations against persons who are not very capable of dis tinguishing between right and wrong. The boy en t ere d t h e prison with his arm in a sling, having broken it some weeks previously; and the Rev. Mr. Cotton immediately entered into conversation with him, and found him to be a mere baby. " What's this you have been doing ?" said Mr. Cotton. 4 ‘ The policeman took hold of me, and took it from me," replied the boy, with a smile. " How much was It ?" said Mr. Cotton. " It was a shilling and two pence, and I suppose the policeman has nicked it—don't you think so, Sir ?" "I am told it was two shillings and two pence?" " No, there wasn't more than one shilling—l took at out of the till myself." " Oh, you did it upon the sneak, did you?" The boy, upon Iv - caring the slang word, looked up, laughing into the face of Mr. Cotton, and said, " Yes, that's true enough, I did it on the sneak." " And who told you to do it ?" " I did it myself, there was nobody with me." " And what were you going to do with it ?" " I'd buy bread and cakes, and fruit." " When you stayed out all night, where used you to sleep ?" The boy, laughing, " I used to go into an old house, and fall fast asleep, when I was tired." The appearance of the poor child was that of perfect sim plicity, and it occurred to the experienced and humane ordi "vary, that if ever there was a case which called for a measure to enforce magistrates to empanel juries de circumstantibus, and inflict punishment according to the various offences com mitted by persons brought before them, this was the case. To look at this babe in the gaol of Newgate under a warrant of commitment, the exact copy of that which is authority for the detention of the most hardened ruffian, would make many people laugh, but many more weep at such a mockery. If this poor child had been properly corrected when he first showed the propensity to pilfer, it would have been unneces sary to fasten upon him the opprobrious distinction, in his after life, of ha v i ng b een committed for a robbery to hi s M a j esty ' s gaol of Newgate. A person of this town has invented a machine, of a very simple construction, for combing and preparing wool, and the work done by it is of a superior quality, and is likely to be generally adopted by the trade. — Halifax Express. i AMERICAN WAITERS.--(Front " A Suba l tern ' s Furlough.")—These are, generally, Irish emigrants, or half castes, if I may use an Eastern term ; for though, during my stay in the United States, I did not enter less than a hundred hotels, I never saw a waiter whom I could ascertain to be a free-born American, their pride not allowing them to fill such places. In country villages, where the attendants arc females, I have frequently seen the one waiting upon me at the dinner table, take a chair near the window, at the other end of the room, and read a newspaper, until she observed I required any thing-i. but dating my whole travels, I never knew a waiting_ 'take a similacjibisrty. .7 ' , . i•.,._ 4- 0 - - -.i . - CI (.__‘-', k? .. :,-, t , : ,, .... _i tra" - -, :4d February, 1834, by the Minister of the United Stases to the Spanish Foreign-office, and the reply of M. Martinez de la Rosa, dated the 12th of this month : " Legation of the United States of America, " Madrid, Feb. 12, 1834. " In pursuance of the instructions from the President of the United States, I had the honour, on the 6th of May, 1831, to address a note to his Excellency Don Manuel Gonzales Sal mon, then his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State, stating that the anxiety which the Government of the United States had long felt, and which heretofore had been fully made known to his Majesty's Government, that an amicable and satisfactory settlement between Spain and her former colonies, the new American States, should take place, had arisen as well from regard to the principles of humanity and the inte rest of the parties concerned, especially that of Spain, as from the expectations of benefit of the United States. " I added that the Government of the United States, with out intending or wishing to depart from its settled policy of not interfering with the affairs of other nations, except by friendly advice in cases in which it might be thought suitable, felt itself authorised by the friendly relations existing between the United States and Spain, and by the circumstances of the case, to make another ap peal to his Majesty on a question of so great and so general an interest, and that in doing so it indulged a strong hope that his Majesty would not any longer refuse to open a negotiation with the new States, but that, on a full and deli berate review of the matter, he would be convinced that, in dependently of the satisfaction which such an event would afford to most, if not to all the nations with which Spain had friendly intercourse, a recognition by his Majesty of the in dependence of those States, upon just and proper terms, would contribute both to the honour and interest of Spain. And I concluded by suggesting some consideration in relation to the remaining possessions of Spain in America, which I hoped would not have been disregarded. " To the note in question Mr. Salmon favoured me with an answer, under date of the I 1 th June of the same year, by which I was informed that the King received my communica tion as a proof of the strong interest felt by my Government in favour of his Majesty, and that as the question was fully pre sent to his Royal mind, he would take it into consideration - when the case might be more favourable, in such manner as might be most conformable to the interest of his crown, and that then the friendly communication made by me would not be forgotten. " The President of the United States, having deemed the accession of Donna Isabel the Second to the throne of Spain, under the regency of her august mother, a favourable occa sion for the renewal of his efforts, has directed me to lose no time in addressing her Majesty's Government on the subject. " Without entering anew upon the field of argument which presents itself, it is conceived by the President that all the considerations which have heretofore existed, and been pressed upon the Government of Spain, in favour of a conclusion of this matter upon the basis of the recognition by Spain of the independence of the states above-mentioned, not only continue to exist, but have been greatly strengthened by time and cir cumstances, and he cannot but persuade himself that the case will be perceived in its true light by the liberal and enlight ened Government of Donna Isabel the Second ; and that one of the first great acts from which it may be destined to derive lasting distinction and applause will be a prompt and just ar rangement of the American question. " It only remains for me to add, that the government of the United States is ready and desirous, as it has ever been, to do all in its power for the mutual conciliation of the parties con cerned, and to facilitate the final conclusion of their disputes upon terms alike honourable and advantageous to all sides.— I have the honour , &c ., LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1834 Our readers will find under the head " Spirit of the Journals," an article in the Morning Post, asserting in no very unequivocal terms, that it is Mr. LITTLE TON'S intention immediately to resign the Irish Secre taryship, in consequence of a misunderstanding with Mr. O'CONNELL on the subject of the Coercion Bill. To this statement we are authorised to give the fullest and flattest contradiction. It has not an atom more truth than the Post's assertions usually have. There is not even the shadow of a foundation for it. Whatever other merits our contemporary may possess, a rigid and innhanical adherence to veracity is certainly not among the number. Its statements, in nine out of ten instances, are remarkable for developing the faculty of invention to an extent hitherto attained only by MANDEVILLE and MU.NCHAUSEN. It is at home in every species—in every variety of falsehood, from the lie indirect and insinuated, to the lie direct and circumstantial. The bouncers it has published within the last twelve month only might fill a volume—. might stock a library. And then the gravity with which our contemporary enunciates them ! The child like, unsophisticated simplicity with which it professes to give credence to them. It is astonishing what powers of face some folks possess ! The Poor Laws Amendment Bill was brought up to the House of Lords last night, and, on the motion of Earl GREY, was read a first time, and ordered for a second reading on Tuesday next. The occasion which the bringing up of the Bill presented, for a display o the reasoning powers of a few Noble Lords of the op position, was too favourable to be lost ; and accordingly several Peers delivered themselves of invectives against the Bill, to the confirmation of the belief of those who supported them, of a sheer ignorance of its tendency principles, and provisions. The most amusing piece of oratory was the speech of the Earl of MALNIES-, BURY, who contended that, although the House of Commons was the fittest place for providing the poor with relief—in other words, with feeding them—their Lordships were the only persons who were adequate to the task of legislating on settlement and bastardy. The Bill, according to the Noble Earl, ought to have been divided into three Bills, of which two, the Set tlement and Bastardy Bills, ought to emanate from the brains, and be dandled on the knees of their Lordships. No doubt a bastardy bill springing from the head of his Lordship would be as perfect, and as full-grown, as Minerva leaping from the skull of the Olympian Jupiter, and we have to express our regret at the non-appearance of the prodigy ; but if the Commons have succeeded in perfecting a measure whose great fault is its birth-place, we cannot see how consorts with the dignity of a hereditary legislator to reject it. Looking a little closer at the Earl of MALNIES Bußy's speech in opposition to the bill, we find it embodies nothing but a factious spirit of opposition to the Government. His Lordship calls for time to de liberate, at the moment he is stating that the bill has been for seventy-six days before the House of Com mons. Now, will it be imagined that a measure which engaged so much of the attention of the Lower House is so little understood by a member of the Upper, who can count the hours it was under consideration, that he still stands in need of some six months to become acquainted with its details ? The Noble Earl ad mits that Peers were all but idle during that time ; and does he now attempt to have it believed by the country, that himself and his noble colleagues in opposition, are ignorant of all that was going for ward in the Lower, House of Parliament, because the technicalities of that assembly would not permit an express being sent to inform the Noble Lord that the representatives of the people had entered upon the discharge of such and such a portion of their legislative functions ? But the fact is that the Noble Earl, though he may not well understand th e bill, h as borne testimony to the great good that must arise from it : Take the following two sentences, from the report, of his speech : " For his own part he was inclined to believe that much of the evil experienced by the present poor laws arose out of their mal administration (Hear) ; but that great improvement in that res pect had of late years taken place. In many parishes which he knew, a sensible improvement had been effected, and he was per suaded it would go on." Now the improvement which has taken place, for the last few years, in the administration of the Poor Laws, is the refusal on the part of parish overseers of continuing a system of out-door relief. The com missioners report that in several parishes in Notting hamshire,—in Welwyn in Wales, and various dis tricts throughout England, overseers had adopted a system of steadily refusing all applications from able bodied labourers for out-door relief ; and the conse quence, in their own words, was—" The industry of the labourers had been restored and improved ; frugal habits were created or strengthened ; a permanent de mand for their labour had increased ; improvident marriages had been diminished ; their discontent had been abated ; and their moral and social condi- tion had been, in every way, improved." This was all effected by the refusal of out-door relief ; and yet, in the very teeth of these facts, at tested by clergymen and gentlemen of high character, we are every day stunned with the awful consequences which will follow the passing of a bill embodying the same salutary principle We cannot on this occasion withhold our gratitude from the Bishop of LONDON for the mild and concilia tory tone in which he supported the principle of the bill. The venerable prelate saw the whole drift of the opposition ; and it was worthy of his sacred character to rise in the manner he did, for the purpose of casting oil on the troubled waters. We quite agree with the opinion expressed by his Lord ship and the Duke of RICHMOND, that the bill will have the effect of re-creating a high moral feeling in the breasts of the labouring population of England, who, unlike their forefathers a century back, never look beyond the parish overseer or the workhouse for the means of support when casually thrown out of em ployment. A great deal is talked about the rights of the poor—what these rights are we shall have another opportunity of defining. The Registration Bill has gone through a com mittee of the House of Commons. The report is to be received on Monday. It is evidently the design of the Ministers to carry the bill into a law during the present session. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had the ma nagement of it in committee, and was assisted by Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM and Sir JOHN CAMPBELL. This is just as it should be. The noble lord, who carried triumphantly the repeal of the Sacramental Test, and who thus proved himself the able, as well as the sincere, friend of religious liberty, ought always to be regarded by the Dissenters, and, indeed, ever has been regarded by all those Dissenters, whose good opinion is of any real importance, as their true friend. No man of honour and justice could have listened, with out pain and even indignation, to the declarations fre quently made a short time since, by persons calling themselves Dissenters, and wishing to be considered as the warmest friends of religious liberty, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL was regardless of the interests of the Protestant Dissenters, and that the Government were willing to throw them overboard, in order to con ciliate the clergy. The truth is now known to be, that at the commencement of the session the members of the existing Government, and Lord JOHN RUS SELL amongst them, were just as desirous of redressing all the actual wrongs of the Dissenters, as they are at present ; and that the premature and ill-judged pro ceedings of over-zealous, impetuous, and ill-informed persons, formed the main, though not the sole, obsta cles to their progress. Now, however the great body of the Dissenters and the government have come to a thoroughly good understanding, they will prove far more than a match for their opponents, as the late elections have sufficiently shown. In all of them, from Edinburgh to Finsbury, the Tories have been de feated, as well as the ultra-Radicals, in consequence of the good understanding to which we have referred. Let no man attempt to disturb it. It is neces sary to the preservation and firm establishment of peace abroad, and the growth of civil and religious li berty at home ; and if any man there should be, of any rank or station, who shall attempt to sow the seeds of dissension again between those who have ever fought the battles of the Dissenters, with prudence as well as courage and firmness, from the commencement of their political career to the present moment, and the great body of Protestant Dissenters, all sensible men, will concur in the propriety of regarding that person as the enemy, not of his country alone, but of the cause of peace and freedom throughout the world. We are glad to find that the clergy will have to thank their ecclesiastical superiors, and not the LORD CHANCELLOR or the Government, if they are not allowed to be absent from their livings for a longer period in the whole year than ninety days. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY is however in the right. A minister whose soul is not engaged in the service of the church—who does not regard the interests of its members as the supreme and all absorbing object of his concern, has no business to enter into holy orders ; and how can such an one delegate his duties ? How can he transfer to another that for which he alone is responsible to GOD and man ? A clergyman's duties can no more be confined to the ,üblic service of religion on Sunday than a physician's. It is iii trouble, and in sickness, that the consolations - of the Christian religion arc the most sought after, and do these never come but on the Sabbath ? But we shall be told that a substitute is always provided. So might the physician say—the apothecary is at hand. But if the curate or the apothecary will do as well as the vicar or the physician, where can be the necessity for the latter ? The truth is, that as the judges are not allowed to serve their office by their sons or their clerks; as the LORD CHANCEL LOR never thinks of placing his Secretary in his place on the Woolsack or in the Court of Chancery, so the clergyman never ought to be allowed to undertake a cure of souls, if he is not both willing and able to watch over them with unremitting care and attention. It is the want of this which has rendered it necessary for the people to look out for other teachers, for they are too wise wholly to neglect their moral and religious interests. Hence the increase of Dissenters and Dissent ing ministers, and their extraordinaryan ld daily ' influe nce i n t h e country. They are ''increasing heir always at v.. post ; ever rea dy t o afford that in s t ruc ti on an d con solation which the clergyman ought to be equally willing and anxious to supply. The Chancellor and the Archbishop seem now to be emulous of the honour of erving the church ; both know that one of the beat services they can possibly render it, is to se cure the constant residence of the clergy. i, It will be seen from the speech of Mr. P. THOM SON last night, that Government are about to remit duties on a variety of articles to the amount of 150,000/. a-year. In so doing they are acting on the sound and just principle of reducing duties to such an extent as to put an end to smuggling, without any material injury to the revenue, and more particularly those duties which act as a drawback on our manu factures. The duty on olive oil, and other oils used for machinery, is to be reduced one-half. This will be a boon to the manufacturing interest, though it will in some measure be counterbalanced by the remo val of the export duty on coals ; for, by affording ma nufacturers on the Continent an abundant supply of that article, it gives them the greater facility of rivalling us in the foreign market. The abo lition of the duty, however, is justified on the ground that the article can be obtained in such abundance in Prussia and France, that by continuing the restriction we only injure the shipping interest, without benefitting the revenue, or protecting our home manufactures. This remains to be seen, but we are inclined to think that, owing to the superiority of Bri tish coal, and the facility with which it can be trans ported by sea, it will be preferred in all manufac turing towns along the coasts of the Continent. The duties on all dried fruits arc also to be reduced one-half. These reductions, no doubt, are intended partly as a return to France for the removal of certain restrictions, and the reduction of certain duties on articles of British manufacture, and will be of con siderable advantage to the proprietors of land in the south, who have well merited encourage ment from this country for the strong petitions they have presented to the Legislature in favour of free trade. The duty on foreign books is to be reduced from 5/. to 2/. 10s. the cwt. This is another step towards the abolition of all checks on the diffusion of knowledge, and we trust the day is not far distant when the principle will be carried into full effect. These changes are not so important in a com mercial as a political point of view, for the greater the intercourse between two countries, and the more dependant they are on one another for the necessaries and comforts of life, the less inclined will they be to go to war. Kings and prime ministers will, ere long, find it impossible to excite the two na tions against each other, merely to serve their own purposes, or gratify personal dislikes. The Paris Journals of Tuesday publish a Royal Ordinance, by which the Chambers—as we have al ready mentioned—are called to meet, for the despatch of business, on the 31st of July. The meeting will be one of mere form, and after it has taken place, the Chambers will be prorogued until the end of the year. The Temps says that the Duke de CAZES has been appointed Governor of Algiers. The same paper mentions that the Spanish Government have resolved on putting down the Carlist insurrection in the north, by an army of 40,000 men, of which General RODIL will have the supreme command. The Absolute Powers are reported to be bent on the submission of the Swiss Government. FRENCH FUNDS.—PAnts, Jun - 1. Five per Cents., 106 f. 35c. 45c Four and a Half per Cent, 101 f. —c.

The Medea, Phoenix, and Firebrand steamers, and the Castor (36), Lord JOHN HAY, are to escort her MAJESTY in the Royal George yacht to Rotterdam. Accounts to the 25th June have been received from the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Captain DUNCOMBE, in the Champion (18), had visited the principal towns in Catalonia, and reports that the news of the surrender of Don CARLOS had everywhere produced the most lively rejoicings. The accounts from Valencia are particularly favourable, as the ex istence of a strong body of Carlists had been sus pected in that town. The Champion was to be at Toulon on the lsi July, to take a mail to Malta. That there is a surplus population wanting em ployment, or at least unemployed, is certain, because we hear the fact reiterated from every parish in the southern counties. That there is also a surplus money capital that is not employed in works of industry, there can be as little doubt, because Exchequer Bills are a a premium equal to the interest payable upon them for twelve months. Nevertheless, British farmers are with out capital. The want of capital among farmers may be a reason why agricultural labourers are not em- ployed. But how happens it that British farmers are without capital, when there is a surplus of unem ployed money capital ? It is not less certain that agriculturalists are distressed, and that distress prevails also among manufacturers. The distress of the latter may be accounted for from the distress of the former, for those engaged in agriculture comprise one-third of the whole British population, and if one-third be dis- tressed, that one-third is rendered unable to purchase of the other two-thirds in proportion to that distress. We have been led to make these reflections from observing that there has been a meeting of persons at Exeter-hall for the purpose of giving a new stimulus and a new direction to emigration, which it is insisted should be promoted upon the ground that w e have a surplus unemployed population, and as the means of removing it ; but if the cause or causes which have occasioned the surplus shall continue in operation, of what use is the removal of a part of the surplus, and that but a small part ? for a very small number only, compared to the whole popu lation, can be removed by emigration, while the effect of the removal is to deprive us of a portion of the b e st of our labourers, and a part of our money ca pital, both, of which might be beneficially employed at home if the cause or causes obstructive of such em ployment were removed. That there should be an increasing surplus of unemployed labour, and an ac cumulation of unemployed money capital in an indus trious and intelligent country, and this, too, when confessedly there is a want of capital among the cul tivators of the soil, has often struck us as a most singular anomaly. We have suggested, and beg leave again to su ggest the inquiry, how.happens it that we have an • .reasing surplus of unemployed labourers, and an ..ccumulation of unemployed money ca increasing 1 -- cause, or causes, may be, it is pit a i ? Whatever tit, ''Word merely a partial plain that emigration can at bes, - Iv. to in relief, and of a kind which tends, ultimaift,„ crease the evil which it professes to cure. The cause of the want of employment of labour, and the reason why money capital refrains from embarking in works of industry should be investigated. When such cause and such reason shall be removed, the anomaly will cease, and we may then have to rue the attempts we have made, and the encouragement that has been given to promote emigration. We have an opinion upon this subject, at which we have oftener than once pointed. But we are more anxious to stimulate others to the investigation, than to put forth any opinion of our own.

The delay arose entirely from unavoid able circumstances which we could not contemplate, and the disappointment of the public cannot have been greater than our own. From the additional facilities which the increased size of the paper ajbrds, together with new type and superior machinery, we hope to render THE SUN still more worthy qf general support, for we appeal not to any party, but to the public at large. It is our intention, as opportunity permits, to devote a fair share of the paper to Literary and Scientc, as well as to other purposes ; but as " doings" arc better than "sayings," we shall leave it to the public to judge THE SUN according to its future deserts. • ne * Alt • _ I DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK New 5 per Cent -- India Stock — Ditto Bonds .... 26 pm.

IN RE MARY CARTER LINDSAY, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC. Mr. BETHELL stated that he was instructed to apply to his Lordship to hare this matter put into the paper, for the pur pose of knowing who was to have the carriage of the commis sion taken out against the unfortunate lady—a lady of consi derable property. The applicants were the mother and brother of the lunatic. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed it to be put into the paper on an early day. WHARTON AND LORD DURHAM. Mr. EARLE applied for leave to have this case, in which all attempts to arrange had failed, put into the paper, and The LORD CHANCELLOR directed it to stand for Tuesday week. IN THE MATTER OF TUBB, A LUNATIC. Mr. WRIGHT was instructed to apply for liberty to traverse the finding of the jury in this matter. Mr. GARRATT appeared to oppose the application. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had always understood it to be a matter of course to traverse, if the lunatic himself de sired it, although it was usual for the Chancellor to see the lunatic. Mr. WRIGHT certainly considered that to be so. The Loan CHANCELLOR said that was his opinion, and therefore desired the lunatic to be brought to him at the House of Lords at ten o'clock on Saturday morning. TIODENHAM V. RICKETTS. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved that his Lordship would be pleased to quash three writs, one from the Court of Here ford, another from the Court of Arches, and the other from the Court of Delegates, on the ground of irregularity. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, as the application was made ex parte he would only direct the order to issue in the form of a Rule Nisi, calling upon the other side to show cause why the writs should not be granted. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.--(THIS DAY.) PERROT V. BUTTEN AND OTHERS. This was an application for continuing the injunction which had been granted for want of answer till the hearing of the cause. The circumstances of the case are of a very compli cated nature, but the facts may be shortly stated thus :—.The father of the defendant Butten, some years ago was possessed of two under leases of premises in Tenter -street, derived under an original lease from the Merchant Tailors' Company. The defendant took possession of the premises by his father's per mission, and carried on there his business of packer and cul lenderer erecting for that purpose a great quantity of valuable machinery. In the year 1823, finding himself pressed by his creditors, and wishing to protect his property, he confessed judgment in favour of his father, and a distress was levied on the plaintiff and machinery in Tenter-street. The property taken under that execution was afterwards assigned by the sheriff to the defendant's father. The defendant subsequently became a bankrupt, and under that bankruptcy his father was appointed assignee, and proved under the commission to a large amount. Previous to the obtaining the defendant's certificate, a partnership was projected between him and the plaintiffs, and an agreement for that purpose was prepared, as also an agreement for the lease of the premises from the father to the firm. In the meantime the defendant's father died, and a gentleman of the name of Saunders was appointed his exe cutor. He executed, it was alleged, that lease to the part nership, which had since been dissolved by the second bankruptcy of the defendant. The defendant contending that Mr. Saunders executed the lease as trustee for him, and that he was the only person beneficially interested, commenced an action against the plaintiff under certain covenants on the lease for the re-delivery of the plaintiff's machinery, and for the arrear of rent from the commencement of the lease to its ter mination. To restrain the proceedings in the action was the object of the present motion. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN and Mr. ROE appeared for the plain tiffs, and Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. WIGRAM for the defendants. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN interrupted Mr. Roe in his arguments by stating that he thought he could save the time of the Court. With respect to the action for the rents since the bank ruptcy, the plaintiffs were willing to pay the amount into Court in a month. As to the other action they would allow judgment to go, the Court directing two issues, one to try whether the deed of May, 1825, was executed by the father of the de fendant or any other person duly authorised, and the other if the Jury found that it was not, whether it was executed by any other person, and by whom. This arrangement was agreed to by the Counsel on behalf of the defendant, and thus the matter rests at present. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY. Sittings at Guildhall, before the CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) SHEPIIARD V. TAYLOR. This was an action brought by Messrs. Shephard and Co., against the defendants Messrs. Taylor, Son, and Gibson, for the recovery of a sum of 5761. due for goods sold and deli vered. The parties were manufacturers, extensively engaged in the woollen trade, and resided at Manchester. The goods had been sold to a person named Hulme, in the employment of the defendants, and the defence was that Hulme was not the agent of the defendants, but was at the time acting upon his own account. Mr. Sergeant WILDE appeared for the plaintiffs, and Sir JAMES SCARLETT for the defendants. The only witness examined was Hulme, who deposed to his having been in the employment of the defendants ; they after wards gave him charge of the concern, under a written agreement, by which he was to receive 1201. a year for con ducting it, with a proviso that if it prospered he was to receive half the profits. There was a postcript to the agreement in these words,--" We will make a transfer of the entire business at any time to Mr. William Hulme," and this was signed by the defendants. The witness denied that the postcript was at tached to the agreement at the time he signed it. He had since become a bankrupt, and his estate had produced no divi dend to his creditors. The CHIEF JUSTICE said the question the Jury had to try was, whether at the time the goods were sold the witness Hulme was in the employment and acting as the agent of the defendants, or whether he was carrying on business on his own account. If they believed the former, the plaintiffs were of course entitled to recover; if the latter, then the defendants were entitled to a verdict. The agreement which had been produced formed the basis of the whole transaction, and the Jury would direct their particular attention to it and to the evidence of the witness, as their verdict would depend upon the credict they would attach to the evidence of that witness. The Jury, after deliberating for about ten minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 576/. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have only two foreign arrivals of mails this morning, the French and Ostend, but no ship letters. The Barbadoes papers state that the House of Assembly of that colony, on the 3d of May, agreed to the following re ply to a message from his Excellency the Governor, respecting the transfer of the power of punishing slaves from the master to the magisterial body : " The House of Assembly respectfully beg leave to acknow ledge the receipt of his Excellency's message, to the 9th inst., submitted to the Hague, suggesting that as the act for the abolition of slavery would come into full operation on the Ist of August, it would be extremely desirable if the legislature would immediately pass a short bill, abrogating the power of inflicting punishment on slaves by owners and others, and transferring that power to the magistrates of towns and parishes. " In reply to which the house begged to inform his Excellency, that as no slave act empowers owners to prefer complaints to magistrates against their slaves for misconduct, instead of ex ercising their own authority, the house had reason to hope that recourse will be had to such authority in all flagrant cases ; but as a general measure, the house conceives that it would not be practicable unless the magistrates of the island were placed on a different footing, by being remunerated with sa laries instead of fees, a change much to be desired, but which the advanced state of the;session prevents their entering upon." Consols opened at the price they left off-921 4 for the ac count, little doing. Spanish 49+ 1. Portuguese Stock B'2 83.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, THURSDAY, JULY 3. 110 USE OF COMMONS. - The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock. The Welland Navigation Bill was read a third time. The amendments of the Lords to the Stony Stratford Bridge Bill were agreed to. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL. Upon the motion of Mr. LENNARD, the House resolved into a C omm i ttee o f t h e whole House upon the bill, Nl,' BERNAL in the Chair. Upon the second clause being read, Lord HOWICK proposed an amendment to the effect that the punishment of death should not be abolished where anY violence was committed, or bodily, harm inflicted. Mr. LENNARD objected to the amendment, as it would in effect destroy the whole value and efficacy of the bill. The Hon. Member referred to the following analysis : ANALYSIS of the CRIMINAL RETURNS (ENGLAIN'Dan a WALES), showing the Eff ec t s o f Mi t i gat i ng t h e P un i s hment°r Death, in certain cases, as it regards, fi rs t, th e N um b e r of Cow mitruents ; and secondly, the Proportion of Convictions:— Crimes still Capital.

Mr. HARDY thought that for the purpose of preserving uniformity with the other Acts of Parliaments, k K¢s neCe s ‘ sary that the amendment should be adopted. After a few words from Mr. ROEBUCK, Lord HOWICK said that the object of the amendment Ile s to give parties who were in the act of committing robberies a motive to abstain from the commission of acts of violence t° the person. This was the sole object of the amendment. After a few words from Mr. RoEntrcx and Mr. BRISCOE , Mr. O'CONNELL said that nothing was so disgraceful to England as her laws. It was lamentable that this countri' which exceeded the whole world in art and science, should be so backward in her laws, particularly her criminal laws, whos e bloody code was mitigated only by the humanity of the trial by jury. What did the noble lord mean by bodily harm ? It might mean the slightest bruise—a mere discolouring of the skin ; and this was to be the distinction between life 0 1 death. Grievous bodily harm they could understand, it wa s already a capital offence ; any case of cutting was, under the bloody act of Lord Ellenborough, a capital offence. T he honourable and learned member referred to some bn s " ins-matches which have lately taken place, and said that all the parties concerned in these cases, as well the boxer s themselves as all those who excited them or were looking on' were guilty of murder. The law was, that if men went out to fight with weapons likely to cause death, and did cause death,' they were guilty of murder. Were not the d ea th s w hi c h had lately taken place prima facie evidence that the weapons with which these men fought were likely to cause death ? He w as of opinion himself, that they ought not to punish with death any crime short of murder. This was his own b e li e f, thong society might not be in a state to go so far. Lord HO WICK withdrew his amendment, and the hill with a few verbal alterations passed through Committee. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be r e " ceived to-morrow. Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE took the oaths and his seat for the borough of Finsbury. The hon. member was greeted on en tering the house with loud cheers. PRISONERS' COUNSEL BILL. Upon the motion of Mr. E WART, The house resolved itself into a committee of the who le house upon this bill, Mr. C. BULLER in the chair. Upon the Ist clause being read, Mr. SHAWE objected to it on the ground that it would be productive of great delay and inconvenience. Mr. O'CONNELL thought the clause would effect a gre at improvement, and he would therefore support it. After a few words from Mr. LLOYD and Mr. HILL, the clause was agreed to. The 2d clause was withdrawn. Upon the 3d clause being read, which gives the Court pow er to appoint counsel when the prisoner was too poor, Lord HOWICK proposed that the clause should be omitted, as he understood the learned members in that house had strong objections to it. ( A laugh.) After a few words from Mr. Roebuck, Mr. O'Reilly, M r * Aglionby, Mr. Benett, and other Hon. Members, Mr. O'CONNELL suggested to the hon. member O r Liverpool, who had made a most salutary reform in the law s ' and had vindicated justice, not to press this clause for th e present. After a few words from Mr. LLOYD, Mr. O'REILLY, Lor d SANDON, and some other hon. memb ers , s t rangers were ordered to withdraw, and the committee divided, when ther e appeared— For the clause 33 Against it 25 Majority for the clause On clause 4 being read, Lord HO WICK suggested as an amendment that instea d of the party accused being allowed to address the magistrate ie his defence, by his Solicitor, pr ev i ous t o hi s comm i tta l , t h a t it be only permitted him to address the magistrate in his defence when the magistrate has a power of summary conviction, as it would unnecessary in a case where a prisoner was merely committer' for trial, and would have a subsequent opportunity of defend' ing himself. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. O'DWYER here suggested the insertion of a claus e empowering a prisoner to obtain a copy of the depositions mad e against him. Mr. RUTHVEN seconded the motion. Mr. BENETT said it was the practice to have the &P' sitions read over to the prisoners in all cases. Mr. 0' C 0 NNE LL was glad to find that so rational a prin' ciple prevailed in England, but the contrary was the case in Ireland. ( Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned me mber instanced a case, in which he was engaged, in wbie ll a prisoner was tried, and afterwards found guilty upo n indictment, charging him with an o ff ence comm i tte d at a di': ferent time from that stated in the committal—subsequen t depositions having been made which he had no Dpportunitl of seeing. The practice was fraught with the greatest ink's; tice, and he trusted that the English system would be extended to Ireland. A conversation here took place between Mr. LLOYD, Si r J. WROKERBY, Mr. SLANEY, and Mr. SANDFORD. Lord 1 - 1 0 WIC K suggested that the hon. and learned member should withdraw his clause as they were then merely discussing a bill for enabling persons to defend themselves by counsel. Mr. O'DWYER assented but expressed his determination to bring it forward on a future occasion. The CHAIRMEN then reported progress, and asked leave t° sit agian on Friday next. It being then three o'clock, the SPEAKER left the chair. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-.(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Frills, before Mr. Baron PARKER, and s London Jury.) TIMOTHY V. SIMPSON. This was an action for false imprisonment. The case excited very considerable attention, when the parties were before the Lord Mayor. The plaintiff was passing the shop of the defendant in 13 1 " shopgate-street, on the 27th of December last, when dress in the window ticketed cat ss. lid. attracted 11 ; 5 attention ; he sent his clerk in for it, but he was asked 7s. 6 !ik which he would not give, and h e was re f use d i t . Plaintiff then went in and demanded it, and on being also re fused, said that it was a piece of gross imposition. plain tiff's young men then began to abuse him, and on his refusing to leave the shop, they, in number nine or ten, fell upon hinl , and beat him very severely. The defendant came from uP stairs, at that time plaintiff was on the ground, two holding him and five trashing; him. He sent for a policeman and gor e plaintiff' into custody. When they got to the station-hous e the case was dismissed, and for that imprisonment the action was brought. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 15/. upol l one count ; and, on the other counts, under his Lordslulf g direction, for the defendant. The plaintiff got liberty to move the Court above to have a verdict entered generally for him. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO GERMANY.--Th e Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, upon receiving informatio n from Lord Denbigh, the Queen's Chamberlain, that her Ma' jesty would embark on Saturday next, at Greenwich, in orde r to pay a visit to her native country, gave orders for the pre" paration of the state barge, and sent round to the several citl companies notice of his intention to attend her Majesty, n ' 4 Conservator of the ri ver Thames, as far as his j uri sdictio. ll reaches.
