The petitioners, be bad no doubt, pro m i se d s h e ladi e s to fit them with their measure at a certain time,, anal some. times disappointed them. His Noble Friend Ivaaeiigated t o fi t them with a certain law, but though the inquiry had been solemnly promised to be closed at a certain time, he was afraid ,heir Lordships would be disappointed. The Earl of LAUDERDALE did not underste .vhat the Noble Lord alluded to when he stated that a solemn es. ;agement had been entered into to close the labours of the Corn nittee at a certain time, but rose for the purpose of denying that Any such engagement had been made. The first time he heard the subject of inquiry mentioned was when the Noble Lord, his Majesty's Secretary of State, came down to the House, and mooed that the order respecting the alterations in the corn laws be die charged, and at the same time mentioned he had no objection to inquiry. As for entering into any engagement, every Noble Lord in that House must be aware that that could not take pliee• and he was surprised to see any Noble Lord stand up in that House and repeat the nonsense which had been broached elsewhere, by persons who had no opportunity of knowing the fact. The Earl of MALI-lESBURY had had . the honour of being placed upon the Committee of inquiry by his Noble Friend, and he understood that the Committee was limited as to the point of inquiry, but was not under any obligation to finish their labours at a particular period. Lord KING had got what he wanted, though it was scarcely necessary, a distinct disavowal of any egement of the kind being entered into. lie had, however, heard it stated on. very high authority, which he would not mention there. The Earl of LA UDERDALE was quite sure that ho had not induced the Noble Lord to make the assertion. Sir. Alexander Grant, and others from the Commons, brought up the Army and Marine Mutiny Bills.—.

This Work will in future be conducted upon a more extended and popular plan than hitherto, and instead of being chiefly con fined to the abstract Sciences, and principally addressed to the proficient, it is proposed to render its contents more suitable to the general reader ; for it cannot be denied that the elements of many of the Sciences, when treated in a popular manner, are as interesting in the perusal, as they are useful and important in their results. The subjects discussed, will, accordingly, consist chiefly of such of the Sciences and Arts as are cultivated more or less in Domestic Circles, and which consequently number, among their Students, a large body of Amateurs of both sexes in various classes of society particularly in the highest; as for example, Chemistry, Botany, Horticulture, Geology, Astronomy, Natural History, in all its divisions, (especially the very attractive one of Zoology) Music, Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. Po pular Trc.►tlses on the Medical Art will also be included; parti cularly- as it relates to Diet, Air, Exercise, &c. But although the more abstract Sciences which are connected with Mathema tical Discussions, will not be of frequent occurrence, they will by no means, be entirely neglected, especially where their appli cations are of a practical nature. Another portion of this Journal will be devoted to the Bio graphies of Scientific Men, and to Reviews of such Publications as may be considered to have relation to the general desig❑ of the work ; namely, Voyages and Travels, Books connected with An tiquities, &c. &c. And here it may not be out of place, to call the public attention to the fact, that the principal Quarterly Re views are so much under the influence of " party," that a dispas sionate judgment, even on matters out of the pale of Politics, can hardly be expected from them. Politics will, however, find no place, nor have any influence in our pages. The Journal will embrace a full Quarterly Abstract of all that relates to the General Progress of the Arts and Sciences in this and other countries. These Abstracts will be carefully selected from original sources, from new Publications, and from the Bri tish and Foreign Periodical Works, and will be given more or less in detail, as the general usefulness and interest of the subject may suggest. The Proceedings of Learned Bodies, and of Scientific and Lite rary Institutions, will also form a department of this Journal, in which it is expected that an opportunity will be offered of fut.- nishipg much that is new and interesting ; and the Editor will not shrink from the occasional duty of critically surveying the mea sures of these bodies, when they appear to clash with the interests of Science, or to be at variance with literary justice. The Pro ceedings - f the Royal, the Geological, Astronomical, and Horti cultural Societies, will thus form subjects of our Journal; but it is expected that the Transactions of the Members of the Royal Institution will not only furnish a prominent article, but that from their varied Nature, and miscellaneous character, as well as from the accuracy with which they will be detailed, they will confer a useful and distinctive character upon the Quarterly Journal of Science, Literature, and Art. Communications for the Editor are requested to be addressed to the Royal Institution, Albemarle-street. ECONOMY AND CONVENIENCE COMBINED.

The Auction-room of Mr. Christie was on Monday filled with fashionables, to whom tickets of admission fur the inspection of the splendid collection of silver and silver plate belonging to his late Royal Highness the Duke of York had been previously issued. The company assembled expressed themselves in terms of admiration at the arrangement. The walls were hung round with trophies, swords, shields, lances, arrows, spears, &c. Some quilted and other armour, once possessed by Tippoo Saib, with saddle cloths richly gilt and or- namented, belonging to his late Royal Highness, also decorated the walls. The plate was likewise (lit:posed in the most advantageous manner as to effect, being so placed as to produce very agreeable contrasts. Here stood a beautiful sculptured tripod, and there by its side an elegant silver cup richly chased. A fine bust of the i illustrious Duke, by Behnes, fronted the door, at the further end of the room at which you entered. Three rows of shelves, upon which were disposed candelabra, priefericula, vases, tripods, cups, 1 salvers, candlesticks, corbeilles, ice pails, flaggons, chalices, &c. 1 ran on three sides of the room.

CATHOLIC CLAIMS. The LORD CHANCELLOR iigsented peti tions against Catholic Emancipation, from the parish of Donough more, and other parishes in Ireland. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a petition from Ilchester against Roman Catholic Emancipation.— The Noble Lord who had the other day withdrawn his motion which stood for Thursday next, had expressed his hope that some measure would be brought forward for the amelioration of the state of the inhabitants of Ireland. Though he differed en tirely from that Noble Lord as to the expediency of granting all of what the Roman Catholics asked, yet he must say, that neither that Noble Lord nor any other person would maintain with greater satisfaction any measure that had for its object the improvement of the condition of the people of Ireland. The Earl of DARNLEY was firmly persuaded, that whatever measure might be adopted for the improvement of that unfortunate . people must fail, unless the Catholic clairtakw4ich, had been so repeatedly asked, should be granted. He was cons vinced that they must be sooner or later complied with. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE had heard with great satisfaction the statement of the Reverend Prelate, that any measure which had for its object the prosperity and improvement of Ireland would meet with his concurrence. He must, however, take that opportunity of dissenting from the proposition, that the granting any further concessions to the Roman Catholics was not connected with the improvement of the Irish; as he did from the bottom of his soul believe that the welfare of that country was intimately connected with the concession of the Catholic claims, and he was quite satisfied that unless that question was taken up in such a manner as to settle with advantage the two classes that were now divided, that country never could take its proper place as a valuable portion of this empire. Lord CARBERY said, that the state of Ireland was a most serious question on many points. Some measures should be taken to raise that country from the state in which it was at present ; but Roman Catholic Emancipation, instead of being the first, should be the last. The Earl of CARNARVON agreed with the Noble Lord who had just spoken, that no e'sential good could be done with respect to Ireland until their Lordships passed an Act to raise the mass of the people from that state of degradation in which they were now placed. But by what other way could their Lordships raise that people in the scale of men, whom they had kept in a state the most abject, but by granting them relief from those burdens by which they were oppressed? By granting that relief, capital would flow into the country, and raise it to a state of wealth, from a condition of poverty so extreme as made the people resemble a nation of Greeks, under the dominion of Turks. Their Lordships might talk of raising that people, while every vote they passed tended only to lower their abject state, and rivet more firmly those chains which at present bound them. It was the penal laws which made Ireland an exception to all other countries—by which the participation and enjoyment of the con stitution, laws, and character, were prescribed to that unfortu nate people; the consequence of which great anomaly was, that in no other part of the civilized globe was so much 'degradation and so much human misery to be found. An appeal, however. was now made from theory to practice. Their Lordships hac had enough of practice. They had had practice for more than a century, and he asked them whether that practice was likely tc excite hopes of amelioration, when the lords of the ascendant themselves represented the results to be such, that they could nor live in Ireland with security or comfort to their property or per sons? Let them look to the practices of that system which had been pursued so long, and which disgraced the policy of a civil state. Their Lordships need not think that they had got rid of tlse subject. That great question would, at some period or other, force itself upon their consideration, and he thought it would he much better to grant the claims of the Catholics when g-ratituds would be repaid for the act. It was not his intention to have sail one word on the subject, to raise a discussion, which could onh excite dissension, while it would lead to no practical results ; bu' when the question was furred upon their Lordships by the taunt ing speeches of Noble Lords who seemed to he impatient of the. little repose which they enjoyed, and endeavoured to open that question, which could not be brought before the House for thi present, it was impossible for him to withhold his dissent against those unfortunate doctrines which were opposed to granting the Catholic claims. The Earl of RODEN stated that it was impossible for him, as a resident in Ireland, to hear the speech of the Noble Lord, in which he compared that country to Greece under a Turkish Government, without denying that position ; and he could assure that Noble Lord that there was no people in the world who enjoyed more real liberty than the Irish Catholics.— There was no symbol or enjoyment of the British Constitution in which they did not participate, except the power of legislating for a Protestant-Church and a Protestant Constitution. The Earl of GOSFORD presented a petition from the city and county of Armagh, for Catholic Emancipation.— He was for complying with the wishes of the petitioners, both on the grounds of justice and expediency. A measure might be adop ted which would have the effect of causing a temporary repose in Ireland, but any measure which had for its object the relief of the people from the degradation in which they were now placed by the condition of society, and to secure permanent tranquillity, must have its foundation in granting the Catholic claims. Earl FITZ WILLIAIVI presented petitions from parishes in the county of Wexford, praying for Roman Catholic Emancipation. The Earl of MORLEY presented a petition to the same effect from Plymouth. A Rev. Prelate had presented a pe tition the other day from the same place, but of an opposite ten dency, which had been strenuously contested by the inhabitants. The Marquis of BUTE presented petitions to the same effect from parishes in the counties of Waterford and Dorset. CORN LAWS. The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a peti tion from Banbury, in Oxfordshire, against the bill which regu lated weights and measures. The petitioners stated, that they were great sufferers under that Bill, as the averages were made up by the Winchester bushel, and their property sold according to the Imperial measure, causing thereby a loss to the farmer of three per cent. It appeared to him, that every thing was to be changed, and good to be made better, and with that prejudice in his mind he should go into the discussion of the question. The Earl of LAUDERDALE could not allow the opportunity to pass without calling to their Lordships' recol lection the circumstances under which the Act to regulate weights and measures passed. The first year it was sent up to that House, their Lordships examined a number of individuals connect ed with the wine trade, and who all agreed that no confusion or chicanery arose from the employment of the measures in use, while the preamble of the Bill stated that great inconvenience and numerou to s frauds mostw a e b r o e r t t i h v e e c l o a n w s e . q u e l n t c e w o a a f theirmerely u s e . an l at had l te ra t prov edion of phraseology. Their Lordships might pass a law to make him speak accurate English, and not allow him to put in one word of Scotch, but they could not succeed in effecting their object ; and they would not succeed in altering the name, by which merchants, in common conversation, called such and such a quantity. The only part of the community that he thought any alteration in the measures likely to be advantageous to, was to the makers of weights and measures; but, instead of being benefitted by it, they had been ruined by it ; for they had calculated that when the law would be in force, every county town would be obliged to buy new weights and measures. It was a most absurd Act, which repealed 250 compulsory Acts, under the vain expectation of ef fecting, by an optional Act, what 250 compulsory Acts had failed to effect. Such a repeal was a stain on the prudence and wisdom of the Legislature, and a disgrace to the commu nity at large. The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose for the pur pose of presenting a petition from certain individuals delegated by the agriculturists of the different counties of England to watch over the agricultural interest. Lord KING had a petition to present from the class of persons from whom he presented one last year, and which furnished the occasion for some. very good jokes by his Noble Friend near him (the Earl of Lauderdale). The petition came from the ladies' shoemakers of Westminster, praying for an alte ration in the Corn Laws. The Noble Lord bad formerly stated HOUSE or coms.: - -- The House ballotted for a. Committee to try the merits of the. Crail Burghs election petition. The following are the names of the Members composing the Coinreittee M. Beresford, 'F. Whitmore, F. Hodgson, H. Foley, A. Dal rymple, Marquis Carmarthen, J. Langston, W. Whitmore, E. Foley, W. Dickinson, H. Evans, Sir M. Somerville, Q. Dick, Hon. H. Drummond, Sir G. Warrender. The House also ballotted for a Committee to try the merit's of the Sudbury Election Petition. The names of the Committee were as follows : Viscount Milton, Hon. H. Tufton, Corry, Sir J. Owen, E. Webb, Hon. E. Stanley, J. Smith, M. Lire, Hon. M. Fits gerald, W. Douglass, Heathcote, C. Brownlow, Hon. P. Cust, T. Wood, E. B. Portman. CONSOLIDATION OF LARCENY LAWS, Mr. PEEL was now prepared to bring in the Bills relative to the larceny and other laws, to which he bad already called the attention of the House. The Bills he purposed to in troduce were four in number. The first would consolidate the whole of the statute law relative to theft : the second would con+ solidate the whole of the statute law relating to malicious injuries to property ; the third, which, for the purpose of obtaining greater clearness, he had separated from the other two, consoli. dated the whole of the statute law relative to the important sub ject of remedies against the hundred ; the fourth was an act for re pealing the whole of the laws which would be rendered unnecessary by the introduction of the other three Bills. The effect of these Bills, if they met with the sanction of the legislature, would be to remove no less than 130 statutes, and he had the satisfaction of stating to the House, that notwithstanding the repeal of so many acts, the whole of the statute-law relative to theft would be com prised in 28 pages--(Hear, hear.)—With respect to the wording of these Bills, he had not adhered strictly to that of other statutes, nor had he made brevity his principal object, and endeavoured to imitate in this respect the code of France. He had endeavoured to steer a middle course between these extremes. After mature consideration, he had found it necessary to take a middle course I,etween the phraseology of the law of England and the brevity of t':e French. He hoped that, before long, son:e new edition of flu: statutes would be printed, which would contain only so many as were necessary, and omit those which had become oboe". !eta, or had been superseded. By these means, many volumes would be cut off. It was quite obvious, that the consequence of such Bills as those which be had now the honour of laying before the House, repealing, as they did, 180 statutes, must he a reducer -ion in the bulk of the statutes. In the Larceny Bill he bad wen . . . .ured some alterations—he hoped the House would think them ;mprovements. Of these. the limitation of the extent of capi tal punishments was the principal.—(Hear, hear.)—ln the rase of burglary. according to the existing law, if it were com ,nitted in any out-house, it was conaidered as a capital offence. Now, to place a stable, a dairy, or any other outhouse or building upon the same footing, as far as protection was concerned, with dwelling-house, was certainly very proper ; but he was sure lie House would ogre- , with him in thinking that capital punii.h nent ought not to be the penalty of entering a stable. He had therefore ventured to make this distinction, namely, that capital punishment should not take place in these cases, unless the out 'muses entered into, and the dwelling-houkes to which they be.. longed, had a common window or other similar connexion. Asko ther important alteration had been made in the law respecting " false pretences." Nothing could be more unsatisfactory than the present law regarding the obtaining of goods under false pre. tences. The ft.ct was that as the law now stood, a misdemeanor and a felony could ',sot be joined in one indictment; and the con sequence of this was, that the culprit when indicted for a misde meanor, set up as his defence that he had committed a felony, and not a misdemeanor. If a person obtained goods. under pretence of buying them, that was a misdemeanor. If he obtained them under pretence of borrowing them, it was larceny. If, again, un- . der pretence of purchase, he should get possession of the goods, it was a misdemeanor ; but if, under the same pretence, he did not get possession of the goods, and the negociation was not yet com pleted, it was larceny. Thus, if he got possession absolutely, he only committed a misdemeanor; but if the possession was temporary, it was larceny. Consequently, as both larceny and misdemeanor could not be included in one indictment, and as the animus furandi could not be proved at certain stages or the transaction, a conviction could not follow. Now the fact wis, that the whole and sole object of the one party in such a proceeding was to cheat another party of his goods, and common sense told them that such an object should be included under _ larceny, and be punished as such. The noble Lord (Althorpe) had asked him how he meant to deal with the malicious trespass act. That, among others, he had retained, but with certain alte rations. That act was one which enabled a magistrate summarily to punish a man if the injury amounted to St., and to commit him, in default of payment, to imprisonment and hard labour for a period not exceeding three months. This he had considered to be an extremely hard case, and the imprisonment of three months appeared to him by far too severe a punishment for the offence.— (Hear, hear.)—He had considered that imprisonment for ten days was a proportionate punishment for injury amounting to it. Sup pose, therefore, the damage committed to amount to 2L, an im prisonment of twenty days was the punishment allotted to such an offence. The consequence of this would be that an im prisonment of 50 days would be the maximum of imprison ment. He also proposed to exempt from this enactment all cases that came under game laws.—(Hear, bear.)—Magistrates now had the power of referring to this summary act, and never once consulting the Game Laws, though the offence before them came more immediately under those laws. It was his intention to deprive Magistrates of this power altogether..—(Cheers. )—Another important alteration was this :—A party had now the power of summarily apprehending, withi n t wo d a y s , th e p erson w ho had injured his property. This power of apprehending without war• rant, and by the injured party too, it was his intention to limit to cases where the party was caught in the actual commission of the offence. In general Magistrates were deprived of the power of inflicting mitigated penalties ; for this reason he had, in all cases, fixed a maximum, and if no malicious intent .were proved, they would have the power of acquitting the party altogether. As the law now stoStl, in one Act six weeks, and in another six months, were the punishments set down for one and the same offence ; be had attempted to regulate the proportion of imprisonment to the amount of the mischief done. He should feel much obliged to the House if these Bills were suffered to pass pro forma the first reading and the Committee. He assured the House that he wished this merely as a pro forma proceeding ; they should again pass the Committee, and his only reason for making this request was, that he might fill up the blanks before the Bills were printed. The first Bill, " A Bill for consolidating and amending the laws in England relative to larceny, burglary, and robbery," was then I read for the first time and committed. Sir J. NEWPORT wished to ask the Hon. Gen tleman if he meant the Jury Bill and these Acts to extend to Ireland ? Mr. PEEL thought it would be quite impossible to introduce the Jury Bill into Ireland. With respect to the Bills now brought in, he could assure the lion. Member that to include Ireland in them would be a very complicated proceeding. Sir J. NEWPORT said, then, however ',vise and salutary these measures might be, hi% objection was that Ireland was to be left for years destitute of the benefits which would result from them. Mr. PEEL thought that measures founded upon
