any person but the attorneys. The Hon. Member con cluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to estahlish a General Register of Deeds and other Documents affecting real property in England and Wales. 'Lord MORPETH approved of the principle of the Bill, but as the county of York possessed already a registration of its own, he hoped he understood the Learned Gentle msn right when he said it was his intention for the present to exclude that county from its operation. After a few words from Mr. SctioNswan and Mr. STRICKLAND to the same effect, Mr. GURNEY fax we understood) supported the Bill. Mr. LITTLETON thought the Bill might be produc tive of benefit; but hoped the Hon. Member would allow the Bill to srand over until next Session, both to allow time for inquiry, and to enable the landed interest to satisfy themselves as to its propriety and advantages. After an ohservation from Mr. P_ AGET, which was not audible in the gallery, Mr. BLAMIRE said that the Bill had occasioned the greatest alarm in the minds of all the gentry and landhol ders of the county of Cumberland, who c‘Nt.idered it a most unconstitutional alteration, which would deprive them of the custody of the deeds of their estates ; and tbey therefore prayed either that the Hon. Member would abandon the Bill altogether, or exempt all the counties north of Yorkshire from its operation.—(A laugh.) Mr. SPENCE was of opinion that the Bill would be productive of the best effects, hut thought it would be better to allow time for inquiry. After a few words from Mr. O'Connell, Mr. C. Fer gusson, Mr. Lefroy, and Mr. Campbell, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Mr. CAMPBELL subsequently obtained leave to bring in Bills—to amend the Law relating to Inheritance, to atrend the Law relating to Dower, to amend the Law re lating to the cutesy of England, to abolish Fines and Re coveries, and to substitute other assurances in lieu thereof, and to amend the Law relating to Prescription and the limitation of Actions. LATE AFFRAY AT NEWTOWNBARRY. Mr. LAMBERT, in rising pursuant to notice, for the purpose of moving for copies of such information as his Majesty's Government triii,ht have received relative to the late affray at Newtownharry, in the county of Wexford, deeply regretted the necessity for such a motion. No thing could be further from his desire thsn to excite any feeling against the conduct of his Majesty's Government on this occasion. On the contrary, he believed they were sincerely anxious to do what they considered to he right. It was said, however, that it was the disposition of Go vernment to call out the yeomanry in Ireland, in conse quence of what had taken place in that country. Now he would beg to suggest to them, to put down the clamour for a repeal of the Union by measures of strict justice, ra ther than by resorting to an armed force. He was not an advocate for the repeal of the Union; but he knew Ire land, and he knetv that unless some measures of justice and conciliation were adopted, the question of the repeal of the Union would assume avt ry serious shape. A mighty spirit was abroad. Revolution was knocking at the door. To revolution, however, he was strongly opposed ; and he trusted, therefore, that such a course would be pursued as would prevent its admission. The Hon. Gentleman con cluded by making his motion. Mr. WALKER seconded the motion. Mr. STANLEY, after complirnenting the Hon. Mover and the Elon. Seconder on the very creditable temper with which they had introduced the subject, assured them that neither they nor any Hon. Member connected with Ireland could be more anxious than he and his Majesty's Govern ment were to give the means of throwing every possible light on the unhappy occurrence to which the motion re ferred. They had no wish whatever to screen the guilty; their only desire was to remove any imputation from those who might be innocent. They felt it to be of great im portance that the people of Ireland should know that no partiality, no religious or political considerations, would be allowed to interfere with the administration of justice. They felt it to be a lamentable fact, that hitherto there had been too strong an impression on the minds of the people of Ireland that the law was not intended for their protec tion : and that they regarded it rather as a heavy yoke im posed upon them, than as a friendly and beneficial succour. He could assure the Hon. Mover and the Hen. Seconder, that it was the earnest endeavour of his Majesty's Govern ment so to conduct themselves as to prove to the Irish people their disposition to do justice to them ; and to satisfy their own consciences; and the God to whom they were responsible for their actions. He could assure them, that if he 'thought that the ends of justice would be hater obtained, or that the truth would be more effec tually elucidated, by the production of the documents in question, not only would he consent to the motion, but he should have felt it his duty to anticipate the Hon. Member for Wexford by making the motion hims.lf. But, under the existing circumstances, and while the investigation of the case was still pending—(Hear, hear)—while wit nesses were in the course of examination, and while the most contradictory statements had been made, the respec tive merits of which only a Court of Justice could ascer tain, he felt that it would not be consistent with his duty to the unfortunate persons who might be criminated, on whose hands there was blood, and who would most likely have to answer for their conduct before a legal tribunal, to enter into any premature discussion of the facts, or to lay before the House the evidence which his Majesty's Government had obtained as the guide of their own con duct. The case would shortly come before the Judges at the Assizes. The feeling which existed, the origin of the transaction, the degree of blame attached to this party or to that, the moderation or otherwise of the Magistrates, the police, and the populace, would there be fully investi gated. He really could not think it advantageous to pre judge the decision of a Court of Justice by a debate in which angry political and party feelings must necessarily be mixed up; and which must, therefore, impede what he and every Hon. Member must be most anxious to promote. He hoped, therefore, that the Hon. Member for Wex ford would not compel him to oppose his motion ; but that he would voluntarily withdraw it. He hoped that what he was going to say would prove that there was no desire on the part of his Majesty's Government for con cealment of the facts. In the course of the legal proceed ings it might appear, that although there was no absolute criminality, yet that some of the individuals acting under the controul of Government, whether Magistrates, yeo manry, or police, had been guilty of great indiscretion. Should such turn out to be the case, and should his Ma jeaty'e Government take any step in consequence, be would then feel it to be his duty to lay the whole evidence of the affair on the table of the. House; for it could then beso sub mitted without prejudice to the parties implicated. After this explanation he trusted that the Hon. Member for Wexford would withdraw his motion : and he hoped other H in. Members would exercise what he considered would be a sound discretion in abstainiug from discussing a sub ject which was so soon to come into a Court of Justice. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to state one fact. Fifteen human beings —men, women, and children—bad been killed, and twenty-five wounded. But no single being was in custody. Those persons. whoever they were, who had been guilty of this multitudinous homicide, were all at large, in perfect security, able to abscond in a moment if they chose. If that were so, where was the delicacy of talking of an interference with a Court of Justice ? The county of Wexford was at present in a most frightful state of agitation. In 1798 that county was unimplicated in the treasonable union of the United Irish. Yet that county, then one of the most tranquil in Ireland; the ma jority of the inhabitants of which were descendants of the Normans, subsequently burst out into a simultaneous and open rebellion, and fought five battles with the King's troops, in three of which they * were victorious. It was the most formidable county in Ireland in which such a circumstance as that which had lately happened could have occurred. He believed that the Hon. Mover and Seconder and himself were the only persons in the House who knew the state of the county of Wexford—who knew that the people were waiting, not fair law, but for vengeance, and who knew that if blood once began to flow, it was impossible to say when it would be staunched. Mr. STANLEY repeated that while the judicial in !miry was going on, discretion dictated that no legislative interference should take place. He thought that some ex pression had been made use of which would lead the House to believe that the yeomanry bad been called out in Ireland upon permanent duty. That was a mistake, and he took the earliest opportunity of setting Hon. Gentle• men right upon that subject. Some Hon. Gentlemen b at ad all censured the Governm en t f or ca lli ng out t h e yeomanry the tact was that the yeomany were called out, not by the Government, but by the Magistratet ac cording to what the Magistrates, 0 , 1 best exercise of sound di scretion. ' l O 4 l deemed the Wheth er it had been so or not, would, of course, form part of the question to b e considered in the approaching i nv .. • tigation Mr. O'CONNELL explained. • Mr. BLAKENEY said that when allusions made to the unhappy t r a nsactions in the cont had been ford, be had observed an lion. Member near him of - Wet " ing in a smile unbecoming a man.—(Shouts of r o , no The SPEAKER observed, that when an Hen. Member rose to speak under the excitement of great warmth of feeling, it was likely he might make use of some hasty ex pressions ; but he ought not to impute motives to others ; and, above all, he should be careful not to impute motives which it was impossible to suppose could exist, He was sure the Hon. Member would regret the expression he had so hastily employed. Mr. BLAKENEY hoped the House would make due allowance for his warmth of feeling. He had.been in the neighbourhood at the time of the unhappy affair, and had witnessed nearly the whole of the proceedings. The con duct of the Magistrates had been most improper. They had arrested some men against whom there was no proof whatever, and they had allowed others to escape without being arrested, against whom plenty of evidence could be produced. He had had conversations with many of the Magistrates. One of them told him that the affair was, one of a most serious nature. He had urged that warrants should be issued—he was promised that they should be—hut no warrants had been issued. The people were willing that the matter shoujsl go be fore the Government, for then they were satisfied they should get justice; but all the offenders were allowed to escape without being ' apprehended.—(Hear.) The Magistrates, toe, had ordered the informations to be given to the felons as well as to the people who were to pro secute them. The real offenders were not arrested. He complained of that at the time ; he had offered to arrest them himself, if he was allowed the legal authority to do so, but he was refused. The whole business was owing to the misconduct of the yeomanry--and he must say, a snore ragamuffin set of fellows he never saw. The magis trate who had promised him to see that the offenders were arrested afterwards thought fit to pass him without notice. As for the yeomanry, he would as soon have a set of butchers' boys to preserve the peace as these yeomen. He should not trespass further, as he should have another opportunity in another place to speak upon this subject, when he hoped he should be able to state it snore properly than he had done now.--( Hear, hear.) The yeomanry were not disciplined as they ought to be—they were not men to whom arms ought to be confided.—(Hear.) Sir JOHN M. DOYLE said the yeomanry of England were one thing, the yeomanry of Ireland were another.— had great respect for the one, he was sorry to say he had no respect for the other. He knew the yeomanry of his country too well to respect them much ; and of this he was convinced, that unless that force was laid aside, that unhappy country would never have peace.—(Hear, hear, hear.) An Hox. GENTLEMAN, who described himself as the colleague of the Member for Wexfotd, could not but con gratulate the House and the country that this motion had been brought forward, especially after the satisfactory ex planation given by the Right Hon. Gentleman. He could bear testimony to the great excitement which this matter had created in Wexford ; a county which, up to the time of this unhappy transaction, had been one of the most peaceable in Ireland. Mr. HUNT did not feel satisfied with the explanation of the Right Hon, Gentleman, although the last Hon. Member did. He had listened to the Right Hon. Gen tleman with astonishment, and could not conceive why he should refuse the information now asked. He (Mr. H.) had been attacked, and he wished to reply to some of these attacks. One was made by the Hon. Member for Kerry, who was the last man that should have attacked him, as that Hon. Member shielded himself by a vow in Heaven.—(ob, oh, oh !) The SPEAKER observed, that reference tai a by gone debate was out of order; and as the Hon. Member for Preston had let pass the opportunity of noticing the supposed attack at the time it was made, it would be for him to consider how far it was likely lie should conciliate the House or do himself any service by referring to the subject now, even if such reference was in order, which it was not.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUNT was about to renew his observations in the same manner, when he was again met with loud cries of " Oh !" and Lord ALTHORP rose to order, and repeated that the Speaker had already observed, that such references to former debates were contrary to order.-- (Hear.) Mr. HUNT then said that he would not let another op. portunity pass for rebutting an attack at the time it was made.—(He then sat down.) Mr. HUAIE suggested that the motion should be with drawn till the information on the subject had been ob tained. He had listened with horror to the statement that had been made, especially with regard to the Magistrates, who, he regretted to find, were still on the Bench, and act ing in their magisterial capacity. Air. STANLEY said, that 'as soon as he had beard of the statement now made by the Hon. Member for Carlow, he had written to request the same information in writing, and to ask that sworn informations should be given against the Magistrates who were complained of. With respect to the Magistrates in general, he would now only observe, that there was a Bill passing through the House to con tinue for six months the powers of the Government to ex amine into the Commissior.s of Magistrates, in order to effect a revision of them.—(Hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL, after what the Right Hon. Secre tary had this moment stated, implored the Hon. Member opposite to withdraw the motion. Mr. LAMBERT, as the object he had in view was likely to be answered in another way, should have no ob jection to withdraw his motion. The motion was withdrawn. DISTILLATION FROM MOLASSES. Mr. P. THOMSON said, that the distress which HOW prevailed in the West Indies was in itself a sufficient reaon for him to ask the House to grant the means of an in quiry into the mode to be adopted for its relief. The subject was involved in so many intricacies, that the Go vernment thought the best mode of inquiry would be by the appointment of a Committee. He moved that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the expediency of admitting the use of molasses in the breweries and dis tilleries of the United Kingdom. Mr. GILLON said he did not mean to oppose the ap pointment of a Committee, as he was a friend to inquiry; hut he should conceive it his duty, as representing a county deeply interested in the distilleries, to watch with the utmost jealousy any measure tending to substitute colonial produce fee that of our native industry. Some thing was also due to the interests of the distiller., who had embarked large capitals in their trade, and who were found to be a most respectable and useful body of men. The effect of introducing molasses instead of grain for dis tillation, would be to throw a number of the poorer soils out of cultivation, and to diminish the employment of the agricultural labourer, which they could ill afford in a time of distress like the present. Sir G. CLERK complained that a question of so much importance was brought on at so late an hour (half-past twelve) ; and that instead of moving for the appointment of a Committee, Ministers ought to have been provided with a distinct scheme for the admission of molasses. tie apprehended that the plan, whatever it might be, would afford no relief the West Indies, while it would operate most injuriously on the landed interest. Mr. K. DOUGLAS thought Ministers fully justified in the course they were about to pursue. Mr. F. LEWIS said that an inquiry of so vague a nature, which had for object merely the fishing for information, upon which Ministers seemed unprovided with any propo sition, would tend to disturb the greatest interests—those of agriculture and the West Indies—without accomplish ing any corresponding advantage, and inflicting, perhaps, the deepest injury. He called upon the Noble Lord, (Al thorp) to state fairly the views and purposes of his col 'eagues, and the plan, if any, which they were about to submit to the Committee. The real question was no less thin this—whether sugar should be substituted for grain in the distilleries of the three kingdoms ? Lord ALTHORP contended that the proposition was xtremely innocent, and the question merely whet,her a Committee should be appointed to inquire whether any arrangement could be adopted for the distillation of mo lasers when grain was at a certain price? Ministers were of opinion that some plan of the kind might be discovered which might possibly benefit the West Indies; without doing the slightest injury to agriculture. This was exactly a case in which inquiry by a Committee could be so beneficial, tnd the investigation could be conducted without exciting alarm. The present moment was peculiarly favourable for undertaking it, as the making trade could not be affected, the season for malting being past. After a few words from Mr. Warburton, Mr. Curteis, Mr. Ruthven, Mr. R. Gordon, Sir R. Harty, and Mr. Benett, the motion was agreed to, and the Committee ap pointed. IRISH REFORM BILL. Mr. STANLEY said, that at that hour of the night, or rather of the morning, he would not feel himself justi fied in bringing forward this Bill, if it were not for the compromise which had taken place between both aides of the House, by which it was agreed that the Irish Reform Bill should be put forward one stage, and placed in the hands of Hon. Members, so that it might stand on the same footing with the English Bill. And therefore, as he could not, under the ci: cumstances, anticipate any dis cussion, he would not trouble the House with more than a few words. lie bad, in the first place, to state that so:ne !Iterations had been made in the Bill since last Session; hut they were net such as to impair the effect of the mea- A:_Fietrti,oilaithe con'rary, they rather went to extend the be• t t n o b ne derived from it. They had, upon mature con , determined not to employ the machinery used in use that e registration of freeholders, but rather to Ireland. nd : had ehlaeny been dhadwum heretofore uceua e w m o p u l l o d y e coun taddimnittheof t h e on to doubt whether the change which they had contemplated. They accordingly adopted the course heretofore pursled in Ireland for the re.- 4istration of leaseholders in counties, and for those who had a claim to vote for cities or boroughs. In fact, the only alteration of consequence was in the arrangement re lating to the qualification for leaseholders, and the term for which they hold their lease. By the former Bill it te as provided, that a man, to be qualified to vote, should pay 501. rent, and have a lease of twenty-one years. Now they found by this that a great number of persons who would form a most desirable portion of the constituency in Ireland, were excluded, namely, those persons who held under the church, or the college, or corporation•, and could net, accordingly, derive from them a lease of twenty-one years, though they might of nin'een. By the operation of the original provision, none of these parties could vote. -In some cases the lease should be renewed every year. It was found, too, that there was a large class of persons who did not pay 501. a year, and who would yet be a most desir able addition to the constituency ; there being a great difference in his respect between that country and England, in which the rights, and laws, and peculiarities, in the re lation between landlord and tenant, were much better re gulated. In England, 501. rent was only taken as a cri terion of the rank and respectability of the individuals. The same rule did not by any means apply to Ireland. He therefore proposed three alterations :—That the term of the lease should be reduced to 19 years ; secondly, that if the amount of the rent and fine paid amounted to 50/. it should be a sufficient qualification; and, thirdly, if a leaseholder for 19 years could prove a profit of 201. a-year, he should have a right of voting, as well as if he had the regular franchise of 101. The Hon. Member for Kerry might not approve of this, as he seemed to indicate he did not; but, however, he must sllow it was an approxi mation to the wish he had formerly expressed. There was no other material alteration, and, therefore, as the spirit of the Bill was the same with that formerly laid before the House, he would not trouble them with further observa tions, but would reserve what he had to say for th e second reading ; and trusted he might now be permitted to move that the Bill be read a first time. Mr. O'CONNELL objected to 201. as too high a goal fication, and, therefore, as a paltry boon. Mr. SHELL thought that as the freemen of boroughs were to be subtracted from a very small eon•titueocy in counties, the latter should, according to the policy and principle of the Reform Bill, be enlarged. The Bill to amend the Irish Representation was then read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday next. GAME LAWS. Lord ALTHORP obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the amendment of the Game Laws, similar to the Bill which he had introduced in the last session. IRISH POPULATION. Mr. MULLINS moved for a return of the number of Protestants in each parish m Irelind. Mr. STANLEY thought that no convenience was to be expected from such information as the Hon. Member for Kerry applied for, as it could not compensate for the inconvenience which might arise from the promoting of religious dissensions, hy making the difference of the po pulation of different religions so very marked.—(Hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL supported the motion, but would not press it against the feeling of the House. Mr. MULLINS, after a few words, withdrew his motion. PUBLIC WORKS IN IRELAND. The House then went into a Committee on the public works in behind, when a resolution was agreed to, that his Majesty should be empowered to advance Exchequer Bills by way of loan in aid of the public works in Ireland. IRISH REFORAI BILL. Mr. STANLEY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the representation of the people in Ireland, which was read a first time, arid ordered to be printed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, And the House adjourned at a Quarter-past Three o'clock. COURT-MARTIAL. Proceedings at a Court-martial held on board his Ma jesty's ship Caledonia, at Spithead, on Wednesday, the 29th day of June, 1831, for the trial of the Right Hon. Lord William Pager, Captain of his Majesty's ship Win chester, on charges preferred against him by John Aye cough, EN., Captain in his Majesty's Navy, and late Com missioner for Naval Affairs at Bermuda, viz. :—For forcibly ejecting him from the cabin altitted to him by Vice-Admiral Colpoys, Commander-in- Chief on the West India and North American stations, to accommodate a lady and her child, to whom Lord William Paget had given a passage ; and also for disrespectful and unoflicer-like con duct to him during the passage to England.

Mr. Minchin was engaged for the prisoner, and Mr. Hoskins for the prosecutor. The Court having assembled, the names of the witnesses were called over, and the order for holding the Court martial was read, and the members of the Court were sworn, when the prosecutor delivered the following address :-- " Mr. President and Gentlemen of this Honourabl e Court,—My legal adviser having examined the witnesses on whose testimony I relied, and having intimated to me that there is not sufficient evidence to support the charges against Captain Lord William Paget, I feel myself bound as an officer and a man of honour to make a declaration of that fact as early as possible, and to state that I shall not take up the time of this Honourable Court unneces sarily by calling witnesses, nor put his Lordship to the trouble of entering upon his defence. I should not have troubled this Honourable Court to assemble, had I been aware of the circumstance of a material witness not being able to prove a fact on which the whole case rests, and which, on account of his absence, I have only been able to ascertain since I came on board his Majesty's ship Cale donia this morning. This explanation will, I trust, be satisfactory to this Honourable Court." The Court was then cleared, and on being opened, the Judge Advocate put the following questions to Commi s .. sioner Ayscough : In your address read to the Court you say, " I sh ou ld not have troubled this Honourable Court to assemble, had I been aware of the circumstance of a material witness not being able to prove a fact, on which the whole case rests, and which on account of his absence I have only been able to ascertain since I came on board his Majesty's s hi p Caledonia this morning." Be pleased to state to the Court the name of such witness, and whether he is now on board his Majesty's ship Caledonia? Sir Wm. Burnaby—And he is now on board. Do you by your address mean to abandon the whole of the charges made ?—Yes. Lord Wm. Paget then requested leave of the Court to make some observations respecting the charges made against him by Commissioner Ayscough, and to adduce' anv such evidence as he might be advised. The Court was cleared, and agreed that they could not permit any observations to be made, as the charges had been totally abandoned by Commissioner Ayscough. The Court was again opened, and Lord Win. Paget was informed of the resolution of the Court. The Court was again cleared, and agreed that the charges had not been proved against the Right Hon. Lord Wm. Paget, and did adjudge him to be fully acquitted of all the charges and every part thereof; and the Court deemed it necessary to express their regret, that an officer of Captain Ayscough's rank and standing in the service, should hive brought forward charges of a nature so seri ously affecting the character of an officer in his Majesty's service, without having, according to his own statement, any evidence to prove the facts. The Court was again opened, and Lord Wm. Paget called in, and the sentence passed accordingly. And the President, on delivering Lord William Pagel his sword, addressed him as follows: "My Lord William Paget, it gives me great pleasure to return you your sword, which has always been worn by you with great credit; and lam molt happy in being enabled to inform you that the Court consider no blame whatever can attach to your Lordship ; but that, on the contrary, your character and reputation in the service, remains as unsullied in every respect as it ever has done ; nor can any man living ever impute to you the least blame on account of these proceedings." Lord SOUTH WELL and Lord GonmANsTos, according to the report of the Committee of Privilegcs, have made good their claim to vote for Representative Peers for Ireland.

Rear-Admiral Hugon, as we learn from the crew of the L!Dise corvette, is going to the mouth of the Tagus. He will join before Lisbon the fleet from Brest, under Vice-Admiral Roussin. On the 15th the squadron was met be yond the Balearic islands, sailing with a good wind towards the Straits. How much do we desire to hear of the fall of the op pressor of Portugal! " The Loiret brig sailed yesterday to survey the coast of Algiers. The Barbary Powers have always prevented such surveys, so that our knowledge of the coasts of these countries is very imperfect ; to this may be ascribed the loss of the Aventure and the Silene. The Minister of Marine will do a great service to his country and to the maritime powers. (From Le Temps.) "The Echo d'Etat, a journal published at Metz, says—' Several regiments of the 3,1 military division, of which Metz is the capital, have just received orders to proceed immediately to the frontiers of Belgium.' " In the budget of the Ministers of the Interior, there is a sum for erecting a high altar in the church of the Pantheon. As the Pantheon has been restored by a Royal Ordinance to its primi tive destination, it is asked, what kind of mysteries will be cele brated on this high altar ? " Letters from Toulon of the 9.!st speak of farther armaments to be made in that port. Besides the Superbe, of the line, the Nestor and Couronne are to be fitted out. The Proserpine, Thetis, and Themis frigates are also spoken of, the fitting out of which was ordered some time ago, and almost immediately countermanded." (From the Messager des Chambres of Wednesday.) (PRI% ATE CORRESPONDENCE.) - Off the Azores, on board the frigate Melpomene, June 13. " Since our departure from Brest the weather has been gene rally unfavourable. On the 7th of June, four days after the cap ture of the Urania, we chased durin g th e whole day a schooner, plying as a packet between Terceira and England, and only came up with her in the evening. At the time of her leaving Ter. ceira, no intelligence had been received there of the differences existing between France and Portugal. On the 9th we opened a communication with the island. The Marquis of Palmellasent us one of his aide-de-camps, to give M. Rabaudy, our comman der, all the information he might require. " M. Palmella is said to have proposed to him to take troops on board the frigate, and the brig Endymion, for the purpose of landing them in Portugal, and offered to guarantee the success of an expedition against Don Miguel. This, however, I relate to you as mere hearsay. .‘ On the 11th we captured a trading-vessel, and on the 13th we came up with another bound for Portugal. We at first sup. posed her to be a large corvette; and nothing can equal the joy displayed by our crew at the prospect of an engagement with the enemy. But she proved to be alarge three-masted vessel, coming from Bahia, laden with sugar, coffee ' and tobacco. We took from her some fresh provisions , of which we stood in the greatest need, having only shipped as much as would last for eight days, and we are now thirty-seven days at sea." (From the Gazette tie France of Wednesday.) llepresentations have lately been made by the English Go. vernment to our Cabinet upon the affitirs of Portugal. It is feared that the claims of indemnity which will be brought for ward by the English merchants, for the losses which the French squadron made them experience, will have the effect of involving this matter in a great deal of difficulty. The report of the appointment of Lord Durham to the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affaires, in the room of Lord Palmerston, gains more credence every day. (From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.) Yesterday afternoon, at live o'clock, a courier arrived at Paris from St. Petersburgh, with an answer to the application made by the French Government with a view to stop the further effusion of blood in Poland. There is every reason to hope that this im portant negotiation will produce results equally favourable to good policy and humanity. It is stated that the Court of Vienna is making pressing appli. cations to the French Government for the Italian refugees, who have taken up their abode at Marseilles, to be obliged to retire into the interior of France. This demand is grounded on the fa cility with which the refugees may keep up intercourse with Italy by means of the packets. The Warsaw Gazettestates that an association has been formed in that city for the purpose of repressing the calumnies of cer tain journalists, who, in case they should refuse to give satisfac tion, will receive corporal punishment from the members of the society.

(From the London Medical Gazette for Saturday, July :2.) Influenza, in a severe form, is at present prev a il i n g exten sively in London and' some of the provincial towns. It com mences like a common cold, but is soon discovered to be more serious ' • the constitutional disturbance b e in g m uc h more consi derable than the catarrhal symptoms would seem to account for. Running at the nose and eyes, with racking pain over the brows, are the most frequent local affections ; which, however, are often accompanied or succeeded by cough, and sometimes by nausea and an irritable state of the bowels. The feelings of languor, op pression, and discomfort, are always considerable, and sometimes very distressing; being occasionally attended with anxiety at the chest and tendency to faint. Some have severe muscular pains, of a rheumatic character, with tenderness of the integuments. The attacks generally last from two days to a week, passing off with perspiration, and, in the worst cases, leaving the patients considerably reduced. The last epidemic of this description which was remarkable for its extent and severity, prevailed in ISO& It was said to have originated in China, to have travelled through Asia into Europe, and then, crossing the Atlantic, to have proceeded to America on the following year. It would be highly satisfactory to us— and, we doubt not, very gratifying to the public at large—if some of the medical "authorities" who have lately figured so advantageously in the public prints, and who, from their ex-cathe dra manner of writing, we presume to be quite in the secret, would inform us whether the present be also an Asiatic importa tion; and whether it is to stand us in the stead of cholera? If so, we are sure their information will not be sneezed at even by those who are suffering from the influenza, maugre the inter minable fits of sternutation which sometimes accompany it. THE ARMY.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY made another amusing exhibition of himself last night in the House of Lords. He asserted, with whimsical pet tinacity, that the Ministerial Reform Bill was unpo pular among the constituency of Durham; and th t the present Members would never have been return d for that populous and influential county, had they promulgated their opinions previous to the election. We know not in what school his Lordship has studied logic, but it is certainly in none that we have ever heard of. Probably he intends to become the founder of a school of rhetoric himself, and is ambitious of earning a reputation for ofginality, which we are from denying that he possesses, at least in the style and quality of his eloquence and reasoning. If the constituency of Durham be really so averse to Reform and its appendage, as his Lordship would seem to imply, how was it that their zeal slumbered so effectually during the bustle of the late election ? How is it that the storm sunk into a calm—that their enthusiasm sub sided into apathy, at the very moment when circumstances turned up most likely to call it into unusual activity ? The electors of the county of Durham must be strangely constituted in their minds, to return Reformers to Parliament, themselves decidedly averse to the measure. But the fact is, the Noble Marquis has derived his information from erroneous sources. He is himself an ardent, un compromising Anti-Reformer, and naturally lends a favourable ear to the statements of those who per suade him that the electors of his own county are of the same way of thinking. In the Lower House Mr. PAGET gave notice of a motion to the effect that all the Members of a county should be returned by all the electors of that county as at present, thus rendering any division of counties into electoral districts altogether sups r fluous. There is much in this proposition that deserves attention, much also to commend. The division of counties into electoral districts will assuredly have the effect of throwing undue power more or less into the hands of the great leaders of those counties; whereas, while they re main undivided, they must necessarily be indepen dent, and return the men of their choice, unswayed by the dictation of any one influential individual. On the subject of the Beer Bill, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER manfully announced his fixed de. termination to maintain its principle raid essential provisions. This was judicious on the part of his Lordship; the Bill in question has scarcely yet had fair play, arid the spirit of the oppo sition to it has been so obvious, and in many cases so interested, that it would be folly to place any premature reliance on it. In the early part of the evening Alderman Wow) brought forward a motion for the reduction of Government salaries, on which occasion the Hon. Member for Preston disburthened himself of much anecdote and beautiful oratory. He told a story of his wife's maid-servant which set the House in a roar. The motion fell to the ground abruptly, notwithstanding Mr. HUNT'S matchless eloquence. German Papers received this morning contain some news respecting Greece, from which it appears that the power of CAPO DISTRIA is at a very low ebb. The people seem to have caught the true con stitutional spirit, insisting► on the immediate convo cation of the National Assembly and the fulfilment of their rights and liberties. Russian influence now stands as bad a chance in Greece as in Poland. The accounts from Poland are still encouraging— but the conduct of Prussia in dressing up some of her own troops in the disguise of Russians, and sending them to join the hordes:of the barbarians, is most in sufferable, and should be resented as a flagrant breach of neutrality by the Cabinets of France and England, General GIELGUD is reported to have an army of 40,000 men in Samogitia; and CHRAPOWSKI another to the same amount in Lithusnia, where a large fortress called Bielsk has been captured. Each is in communication with the other. We hear nothing from the main army, but expect in a few days to receive accounts that the Gene ralissimo has undertaken an important expedition against the Russians. In Volhynia the good cause also progresses favourably. The courier from St. Petersburgh to Paris brings accounts favourable to the Poles; but we disbelieve the report of the EMPEROR'S clemency.

The news from Poland appears to be of a cheering nature, and we give the following private information from that quarter : " Our army is gone towards Siennica, in the environs of Yu!. tusk, as 1 stated to you in my former letter, and it is presumed they are going to join the corps of Romarino, when they will at tempt a decisive blow on Siedlec. The waters are now descend ing Mount Harpatis, and will soon inundate a great part of the country. with three regi ments of the new levy of the Russians, go i ng " A body of insu rgen t s i n the env i rons of Icterivinz fell in to join the Russian grand army ; they were destroyed by the Poles, and all their baggage, with three hundred chariots, laden with provisions and ammunition, fell into the hands of the Poles.

H e i s now a t th e h ea d of f irty-two thousand men, being joined by a corps of Lithuanians of twenty nine thousand men, and is proceeding on Rossienna." Lett,rs from St. Petersburgh of the 16th June state that that capital and Cronstadt were in good health. THE FUNDS. The express from Paris this morning has brought a reaction in the French Funsts of nearly 2 per cent. higher, owing to their having received the account of the acceptance of the throne of Belgium by Prince Leopold. Consols, which left off yesterday at 83ti for the Account, opened at S3q ; but on a sudden the market has given way, and Consols arc at present 8278 83. The public are now anxious to learn the result of the deliberations of the Congress of Brussels in regard to Prince Leopold, which, if not put of, will be here early to-morrow. Iu the Foreign Market little or.nothing doing, HALF-PAST ONE. We hear on 'Change that the Polish Loan has been contracted far,—most part of it in this country,—and that the contract has been sent to Warsaw these four days past. Should this prove correct, the brave Poles will not want for the sinews of war. The Flanders Mail and Dutch steamer have not as vet arr i ve d, consequently we art w ithout further information from the theatre of war. The heaviness of the Funds this morning is attributed to a ,report from the west end of the town, much of the same prin ciple as other stock-jobbi n g speculations : we sh ou ld not mention it, was it not to gratify the c urios ity of the public,—it is that Earl Grey w as going out of oftiFe, and that the Duke of Welling ton is to take his situation. We need not make any comments : our readers are aware from what quarter it originates. In the Foreigr M arket nothi ng doing of consequence. THREE O'CLOCK. Console, 83. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(TIIIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. ABSENCE OF COUNSEL FROM ILLNESS. Sir F. B. Sugden has unfortunately been prevented through illness (it is said the influenza) from attending Court for a couple of days. Mr. TINNEY applied to his Lordship, that a case in the_ paper might be permitted to stand over, in consequence of Sir Edward Sugden's not being able to be present. The LORD CHANCELLOR refused to comply, farther than at that moment to take the next case in the paper, leaving it to see whether, without having to enter upon it, there would be sufficient to occupy the day in the paper. Mr. TINNEY said he was instructed to apply that the same case might stand over till after the 15th of July, on the ground that Mr. Simpkinson, who was Sir E. Sugden's junior, would be engaged till the 15th of July in the Court of Exchequer, and consequently till after that time he would not be able to attend before his Lordship. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, the Court of Ex chequer may stop, the Master of the Rolls' Court m a y s t o p, the Vice-Chancellor's Court may stop, but this Cdurt shall net stop. It is a great misfortune that Counsel are ill—a great misfortilhor to suitors when Counsel of great eminence and ability are taken ill—hut it would be a greater misfortune if, therefore, the Court were to be shut up. I say of Sir Edward Sugden, in his absence, what I certainly would rather say in his absence than in his pre sence, that to have a Counsel here so diligent as he is, so tho roughly acquainted with his case as he at all times is—so fair, and so certain not to state any thing beyond what he is autho rised to do from his instructions, is undoubtedly a great comfort to the Court, as it is a great loss to it that he should be absent. Every possible accommodation, therefore, will be afforded, when so eminent a Counsel is absent ; but still we cannot go the length of entirely shutting up the Court so long as we can procure the attendance of some other gentleman. Mr. ANDERTON—My Lord, I am also on the same side, and I have to add that the absence of Sir E. Sugden must not only be a great loss to the Court, but also a great loss to my client, and therefore lie hopes your Lordship will not press him into a position in which he must sustain the necessary injury of having his case brought on before Sir Edward can be here. The LORD CHANCELLOR—In short, Mr. Anderton, your position is just this, that I should rise and go to take a walk. Now I am quite well, I do not want exercise in the shape Of walking, therefore, with your permtssion, we will now proceed to business without further ceremony. Mr. ANDERTON having bowed and sat down, the paper was regularly called on. _ _ DE TASTET v. LOPEZ. This case was spoken to by one Counsel on each side upon the subject of exceptions. It is the notable case in which a solici. tor's bill of costs for an undefended action amounted to 8,0001., and for a defended action to 12,-565/. 12s. Sd. ! More than ten years have elapsed since the bill was filed, and a sufficient an swer has not yet been obtained from Mr. Hartley. In short it was stated that the parties are now exactly in the same situation in which they were a month after the filing of the bill, except so far indeed as the poor clients are affected by a few subsequent trifling bills of costs. The Lord Chancellor allowed one excep tion to the Master's report, reporting a full answer, and octet. ruled another. VICE CH.ANCELLORS COURT. NJUNC riox.—NICHOLS v. LEADER. Mr. SPENCE applied this morning exparte for an injunction to restrain the defendant from publishing and selling maps of the canals and rail-roads in England. The grounds on which the Learned Counsel made.his motion were these. The plaintiffs, Messrs. Nicholls, some time since published an excellent map of the canals and rail-roads of England, and employed the defendant Leader at a salary of 50s. a week to procure subscribers. Lat. terly, however, they had discovered that Leader had been sup. plying the subscribers to their map with a spurious map of his own. Among the subscribers who had been thus imposed upon were man=' persons moving in a high sphere of life, one of whom was Mr. Prancis Baring, of the Treasury. The VI C E-C HAN C ELLO It considered the ease to be one cal ling for the interference of the Court, and granted the injunction. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. George Beedharn, aged M, was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of John Behnes, six watches, valued 6/. ; a gold chain, and forty. five sovereigns. The robbery was committed so long ago as the middle of 1829, when the prosecutor's bed-room was broken into and the property in question stolen. Some suspicion fell upon the pri soner, whose lodgings in Fives-court, Fleet-street, Bethnal-green, were searched a fortnight after the robbery, when in a cupboard one of the stolen watches was found. The prisoner, who was a weaver, and had two looms in his house, from the day of the search absconded from his wife and two children, and never was found until last May, when a constable, who had been long look. ing for him, met him in Friday-street, Cheapside, and took him into custody. His wife and family in the interim were taken into the workhouse.—Guilty. John Irving, aged 20, was indicted for the manslaughter of Arthur Al(Ginnis, on the 24th of May last, by violently kicking him in the groin and abdomen. Thomas Bassett, a carver and gilder, deposes!, that on the night of the 24th of May he called upon the deceased, who lived in Cottage-court, Orchard-street, Westminster; they went out, intending to go to a public-house, when the prisoner accosted the deceased by saying, " You are Arthur M‘Ginnis ; I should like to have a round or two with you." The prisoner then struck at the deceased, but witness could not tell whether the blow took etti..et or not. Witness, on locking round, saw the deceased and the prisoner on the ground ; they got up again, when the deceased held the prisoner by the collar, and called for the assistance of the police ; upon the police coming up, he gave the prisoner into custody and walked after them to the watch house; at the watch-house the deceased begged that a doctor might be sent for, saying he was a dead man. To further ques tions, witness was not sure it was the prisoner who struck the deceased first, he believed it was him. - Matthews saw the prisoner strike the deceased; deceased wa- ultimately taken to the hospital. John Custy said the first thing I saw was the deceased laying hold of the prisoner's collar. After the policeman had taken the prisoner, the latter kicked deceased very violently oq the groin; the deceased held his hand to the part, and exclaimed he was a dead man._ Samuel Bannister, inspector of police, was on duty in th• station-house when deceased came in; witness sent for the sur geon of the division, and by his direction he was sent to West minster Hospital. JoLep!) Clarke, a policeman, was on duty in Orchard-street on the evening of the 24th of May, and heard a cry for assistance. Saw the deceased have hold of the prisoner's collar ; deceased desired witness to take the prisoner into custody, and said I am an injured man." Witness refused, as he had not seen any breach of the peace committed, and desired the deceased to get a warrant. Mr. E. H. Thomas, house surgeon of Westminster Ho s pital, stated that he attended the deceased when he was brought into that establishment ; he complained of great pain, and sa id he had been kicked. Witness attended him six days, and deceased died on the 30th May. Upon a post mortcm examination very considerable inflammation was found through the whole course of the intestines and stomach. This inflammation was the cause of death, and it must have been the result of some external vio lence; a kick on the abdomen would produce such an effect, or a fall might produce it. Theigis7mer, upon being called upon for his defence, said he would leave his case in the hands of his Counsel. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. His LORDSHIP having summed up the evidence, the Jury found a verdict of Guilty. NEW COURT. Henry Levere Taylor, a Greek, was indicted for stealing a sovereign, the property of William Inwards, a baker. An in terpreter attended to explain to the prisoner the nature of the charge in the Arabic language.—Guilty. John If illiams was indicted for stealitg a piece of the back ribs of beef weighing 11 lbs., value 6s. the property of a butcher named Griffin, at Hampstead.---Guilty. THE MARKETS -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The market was thinly attended this morning, and scarcely any business doing. The arrivals of Foreign Wheat, which goes into bond, is large, and there is a great supply of English and fo reign Oats. For the time of year the supply of English Wheat is good.

This day's supply of fat Beasts and Mikh Cows was great; of small stock rather limited. The trade with Beef and Pork was very dull, at barely Monday's quotations; with 'Muttbn, Lamb, and Veal, somewhat brisk, at an advance of about 2d. per stone. Milch Cows went off heavily at their last Friday's prices, an use ful short-horns, with her small calf, producing, though not very currently, 181.
