By JOSEPH GUY, Formerly of the Royal Military College, and Author of a Chart of General History, Pocket Cyclopedia, School Geography, Elements of Astronomy, British Spelling Book, &c. &c. so° The public approbation of these historical abstracts having been so unequivocally expressed by the previous demand of three large editions, the Author has been in duced to spare neither expense nor pains to complete the historical picture ; not only by the introduction of a lumi nous outline, with a Chart of Epochs, but by the addition of eight remaining abstracts, namely, five of the most important Italian States, the Empires of the Saracens and the Turks, and, lastly, of the United States of America; forming seventy-five additional pages of letter-press. Some of the leading scholastic characters in the kingdom have been contributory to its success, either by suggesting its order, affording its materials, or by conferring upon it their testimony of approbation. And perhaps so concen trated and methodical a sketch of history, at once simple, interesting, and correct, and in size and price so exactly accommodated to the purpose of schools, has not hitherto issued from the British press.

TWO GREAT SOURCES of MYTHOLOGY The two great sources from which all systems oc mythology must be deduced, are the conviction of an overruling mind, and the ignorance of secondary causes. Those personifications that now seem forced or novel, were originally per fectly natural. The rotation of the earth, causing the apparent motion of the sun, was a much more wild and improbable idea than that of a coach like the Lord Mayor's, with four white horses to it, drawn along the firmament. The Indian philosopher who made an elephant support the earth and a tortoise support the elephant, was a thousand times a more intelli gent and rational person than Newton with his theory of gravitation would have seemed to the hearers. When Anaxagoras maintained that the sun was larger than all Peloponnesus, no doubt the Eldon of the day would have taken away his children from him as from a lunatic, and cer tainly all Greece shook their heads at so absurd a flight of fancy. To profound ignorance nothing is so easy as imagination. Any peasant of intellect somewhat raised above his fellows, has the chance hollow in his favour, that if he attempts an explanation of any natural appear ance, he will produce some ingenious fiction. Had the eastern people known anything of astronomy, they never would have imagined that an eclipse was a dragon devouring the sun, nor brought their gongs to frighten the monster away. Had the rotation of the earth been, any thing but a most absurd-looking notion, the simple ancients would not have been so troubled to find stabling for Apolo, and we should per haps have lacked Virgil's desCription of his horses " snorting light through their dilated nostrils"—lucemque elatis naribus chant—as they struggled up the steep of morning. If the Indians of the Pampas had analyzed an aeolithe would they upon seeing me teors in the air piously believe " that these were their ancestors blind drunk, mounted upon horses swifter than the wind, and hunting ostriches ?" Which, at the time, was more probable and natural to the Persians, the fiction or fact ; the earth (according to the former) resting on a huge sapphire, which by its re flexion caused the blue colour of the heavens, — or (according to the latter) supported by no thing, spinning—in opposition to the evidence of their senses—every man, woman, and child in Persia round at the rate of 1,000 miles an hour ? The fiction, doubtless. On the western coast of Ireland, at certain rare conjunctions of wind and tide, there occurs what is called a " bow." The fishermen, being wholly ignorant of its actual cause, for it takes place but in one bay, and at remote intervals, call it an " aveng ing wave," and gave a terrible description of its rushing along crested with lightnings. Their account of its origin is this. A man of the name of Shea, a fisherman, once killed a mer maid, though she begged hard for mercy. The very next time that he sailed upon the bay, the wave appeared in all its terrors. Struck by a guilty conscience he fled towards land ; but the incredible speed of the " avenger" could not be baffled ; he was overtaken, and not only he but all in his bcat perished. The punishment did not end there. Even to this day the ap pearance of any of his direct descendants rouses the same wave. Its desire of vengeance, or its power, is now somewhat diminished ; for if they perceive it in time, and cross the bar, they are secure. Nevertheless there is a great reluctance among the fishermen to sail in company with any of that name. The writer has heard a story, in which was most seriously detailed the narrow escape of a boat only a few years since from the " avenging wave." The lives of several persons were all but sacrificed to the presence of a Shea in the boat. Now this fiction could never have existed or been believed, had the natural cause of the wave been known. In fact, none but those who have had actual experience of it can believe what a proneness to personification, and what a readiness in creating intelligence causes to account for every external appearance, an un educated people have. Tell them the real cause, and the incredulity of the face shows the instant aversion of the mind ; assigns any intelligent agent and the look of pleasure and awe which follows as quickly, proves how perfectly this chimes in with their feelings. In truth the one agrees with their experience, the other does not. In a certain country town in Ireland, about four teen years ago, a set of tumblers exhibited on the tight rope ; and it was unanimously declared by the farmers and labourers, that the tumbling and dancing was " enchantment." The tumblers proceeded from this to another town, and co►n menced their exhibition on the market-day. The crowd looked on for sometime in extreme per plexity ; but soon each man seeing his owe horror in his neighbour's face,and just when the principal performer had made a bound which he thought would fix him for ever in the good opi nion of the community, a shout of " Devil ment" " The Devil" arose, and with it a sub stantial shower of stones. It was with some difficulty the lives of the poor performers were saved, and several were severely wounded, all powerful as they were with Satan.—West minster Review. We hear that several persons have been ar rested, in consequence of facts that have been brought to light by the examination instituted relative to the discovery of the forged Bank of England notes, which we have already ann ounced.—Morning Herald. A Brest Journal states that secret agents of Don IlicuEL are actively, hut mysteriously, endeavouring to enlist in hie cause pitch Chooans as have most tarn• promised themselves by crimes. taken into consideration on licdaesday next. Lord ASHLEY presented several petitions from Brad ford, and other places, in favour of the better obser vance of the Lord's Day ; also petitions from Mr. Oastler, and the inhabitants of Shaftesbury, Reading, and l'arringdon, in favour of the Factories Bill. Also a petition from the manufacturing operatives of Halifax in the county of York, complaining of the misrepresentations of the f tctory commissions. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from certain individuals in Dublin, praying fur the immediate and un- restricted emancipation . of thenegroes. Mr. SPRING RICE presented papers from the Trea sury. DUTIES ON EAST INDIA PRODUCE. Mr. EWART said that he rose to move a resolution to which he did not think there could be any objection offered. It was prospective, and to the effect that it was expedient to admit sugar and coffee from our Eastern possessions, the produce of free labour, on equal terms with the produce of the West India islands. He thought that question came before the House at a time which gave them a right to demand acquiescence in it, and thought that even those originally interested in opposing it, ought no longer to do so. We did not lay discriminating duties on all Eastern produce, for we admitted corn and flour from Calcutta on the same terms as we did from Canada. He did not see why sugar and coffee and all other colonial articles produced by the East and West Indies in common should not be admitted on the same terms as the corn from them. Instead of that, the duty on West India sugar was 249. per cwt., whilst that on East India sugar was 323. per cwt. The duty on coffee from the West Indies was 6d. per lb., while the duty on coffee from the East Indies was fifty per cent. higher, 9d. per lb. The duty on West India rum was as. per gallon, whilst that on E►et India rum was lbs. per gallon. The result, as might have been expected, was an immense difference in the consumption of the articles from the said countries. By returns lately laid upon the table by the Secretary of the Treasury. it appeared that we imported annually, from the West Indies and the Mauritius 4,000,000 cwt. of sugar, whilst that from the East Indies, exclusive of Singapore, was 88,000 cwt.—little compared with the vast extent of the countries from which it came. It also appeared from Parliamentary returns, that the quantity of coffee annually imported from the West Indies was twenty four and a half millions lbs., whilst the quantity from India was not half t o much. He asked the House, whether, looking:to the immense extent of bur Eastern, and the small extent of our Western possessions, this was the result which ought to have been arrived at. It was not just to the East Indians, it was not just to our manufacturers, to pursue a system so destructive of commerce. At pre sent we sent out some manufactures to the East Indies, but not any thing near the amount we should do if we allowed her to send us her produce in return.—(Hear, hear.) If they looked to the Mauritius they would find that the exports from that island had, since 1825, when the restrictictive system was abolished with regard to it, increased f►ve-fold.—(Hear, hear.) If that had been the case in so small an island, what might they not expect from the establishment of a proper system with regard to our immense possessions in the East ?—(Hear.) If the House looked at the effect of the reduction of duty on coffee, how enormously had the consumption increased of coffee since the duty was lowered in 1824 ? He would ask, whether this increase would not have been even far greater had it not bten for the monopoly i❑ favour of the West India produce ? The supply by that monopoly had been greatly limited, and the community had been deprived of much of the advantage they would otherwise have had, had the importation been left unrestricted. No consumption of this country had gone to the extreme limit of the supply. If Hon. Gentlemen would turn their attention to the United States, where freedom of trade was now allowed in this article, there had been a far greater increase in the consumption than bad taken place in this country. In the United States they had been reducing the duty for the last three or ,four years, and the consumption had increased there to such an extent as that, should this country find it necessary to increase the facilities of im portation into this country, there would be much more difficulty in having a full supply now than there would have been it the duty had been removed some years since. It was an undeniable fact that the coffee of the Brazils and of St. Domingo could be got at one third lower than the Jamaica coffee ; why, therefore, should this country refuse to give facilities to such an introduc tion ? He would say, give facilities to the introduction of coffee from those parts, and, above all, of coffee from the East Indies. If it were said that the East Indies could not supply us with sugar and coffee ; then, he would ask, what reason was there to dread a competition with the West Indies?—(Cries of " Hear, Hear.") If there ever was a time at which more than another there war a stronger claim for the consideration of the subject, it was the present, wherein so fair an opportunity existed of employing British capital and activity. (Hear.) He would turn to the evidence which had been elicited in 1831, to show the capabilities of India in the production of sugar, coffee, cotton, indigo, and to bacco. The Hon. Member then read extracts from the evidence given by Dr. Wallis, Mr. Gilbourne, Mr. Sullivan, Dr. Warwick, and others, to prove the peculiar capabilities for these productions, and in particular of sugar and coffee. With this evidence before the House, he would say, that if the oppportunity now offered were suppressed, it might be expected the subject would be suppressed for ever. If he were asked what paramount claim there was for throwing open the trade to India, in this respect, he would answer, had not Eng land a fair right to expect it? Could he not claim it on behalf of the consumers, the manufactureis, and the commercialists of this country ?—(Hea:.) Was it not well known that there might be larger expectations of manufactured goods from this country, if return cargoes could be obtained for the shipping? It was too well known that many English vessels were obliged to return with cargoes to continental ports, because there was not sufficient produce in India with which to load them. And yet the East was the country in which sugar had been first raised, and in China was first practised the art of sugar refining. It ought also to be borne in mind that the manufactories of India had been ruined by competition with the gigantic machinery of this country, and her looms bad been almost entirely supplanted ; it was only just, there fore, to encourage what might be deemed to be the natural productions of India, as a sort of reparation for the depri vation of her manufacturing employment, whilst the manu factures of this country wou ld b e f urt h er encouraged b y t h e creation of produce for return cargoes. Looking, then, at Os subject, either as regarded India or this country, there was every ground for a speedy change in the system. fhe united voice of the people of this country called for this freedom of commercial intercourse with the East, and he did not think it could much longer be withheld, especially as far as regarded coffee, sugar, and other articles of home consumption. He would leave the matter to the justice and feeling of the House; it was a question of justice to both countries, and of expediency and sound policy as regarded the East India possessions. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by reading his resolution. Mr. J. OSWALD seconded the motion. Lord ALTHORp did not think that this was one of those questions which it was expedient or proper for the House at present to decide, when they could not precisely foresee the effects which the contemplated plans in rel.tion to the West Indies, which were about to be brought into ope ration would have. It was a different matter when the ques tion on former occasions had been brought under the consi deration of the House. At that time the produce of the West India col on i es very much exceeded the consumpt i on of this country, and although the West India planters bad always objected to the introduction ofsugar from the eastern pissessions, he had never thought, that as the produce of the former greatly exceeded the home consumption, any inconvenience would arise from it. Their price de pended on the price on the continent.—( Hear, hear.) The question, h owever, now was very different. It was to be expected that the plans in respect of the West India colonies n ow a b out to come i nto operat i o n, would occasion a diminution in the production of sugar, and, therefore, he did not wish the House, while the effects of those Mr. LYALL supported the motion, but in so low a tone that it was impossible distinctly to hear any complete sentence. Air. PEASE also supported the motion. He had all along been friendly to the emancipation of the slaves, but he had not supported that measure under the im presoion that there wool I be no diminution in the pro duction of sugar in the West India colonies. On the con trary, he believed such an effect must unavoidably iesult from the operation of the contemplated plan, but this be considered, in place of being an objection to she present motion, one of its best recommendations. It be hoved the House to prepare for the defalcation in the West Indian produce, by giving timely notice and encouragement to those who cultivated sugar in the eastern possessions of the country. Mr. AIURRAY declared himself to be favourable to a free importation of sugar and coffee from the Eist Indies. He was sure that if this were permitted, the public would hear less of gin and beer shops than they were in the habit of hearing at present. Mr. KENNEDY would have all restrictions removed. Unless some such resolution as had now been proposed was speedily come to, the East Indies would become de pressed, and very soon be like what the West Indies were now, a curse upon this country. After soma observations from 'Mr. TODD and Mr. TANCRED, Mr. P. THONISON said Hon. Members had in most of their speeches lost sight of the motion before the House, which related not to West India sugar, but solely to East India produce. He entirely concurred in the motion of his Hon. Friend, because lie considered it just and expe dient that East India sugar should be admitted at the same rate as the sugars of the West Indies, but the only point on which be differed was as to the time. The ses sion was now too tar advanced to pass a Bill, and as it would he inconvenient to agree to resolutions without bringing in a Bill, be hoped the motion would be with drawn, and the Government be left to take up the sub ject next session. - Mr. EWART, on that understanding, withdrew his motion. CORPORATIONS. Mr. J. KENNEDY said that the object of his motion was for leave to bring in a Bill whereby all persons en titled to vote for Members of Parliament should be allowed to vote in the election of municipal officers. At present these officers were appointed by nomination, and not duly elected, as they ought to he, by the voice of the burgesses. Great abuses prevailed, and he trusted Government would see the propriety as well as necessity of lending its assist ance in putting down these ahuses. The period of the session was too late to carry through a Bill on the sub ject, but he trusted that Ministers would not object to allow the resolution to be put on the Journals. After the motion had been seconded by an MN. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, Mr. V. SMITH asked whether it would be worth while for the Hon. Member to press his motion this ses sion. He agreed with many of the objects the Hon. Member had in view, but there were others to which he decidedly objected. He objected to see a Bill of the kind confined to boroughs that returned Members to Parlia ment, and he also objected to it on the ground that Ireland was not included in it. He also thought that the House should hear the result of the inquiry before they proceeded to legislate. The Bill of the Hon. Member was so defec tive, and left out so many corporations which were no toriously ill-managed, that he could not give it his consent. He would instance only the corporation of Berwick-upon- Tweed. That corporation was republican enough, but it was defective in some qualities, for which ancient republics were famous. As a proof of this he might state that the members of the corporation paid all the taxes of the cor poration with borrowed money, and divided the revenues of the town among thernselves.—(A laugh.) Mr. PARROTT hoped between this and the next session that Ministers would propose a measure which would prove an effectual remedy for the evils of Corpo rations. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that his object in moving for a Committee at the com mencement of the session was to lay a foundation for such a measure as bad been referred to.—(Hear, hear.) At the recommendation of that Committee, a royal commis sion was now issued, and he had no doubt that before next session those inquiries would be completed, which would enable the Government to bring forward a measure of reform. He should only add, that no man was more convinced of the necessity of a reform in the Corporations, or more anxious that a measure fur that purpose should be brought forward.—(Hear.) The SOLICITOR GENERAL represented one of those boroughs which it was exceedingly desirable should have a new constitution. He said nothing of the Magis trates, as they were not present to defend themselves, but a new constitution was wanted. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER inti mated his intention to bring in a Bill for the reform of Corporations before the conclusion of the session. It was desirab'e that the country should be aware of the contents of the Bill, and he should, therefore, content himself with moving that the Bill should be printed this session, and by the next session the House would be prepared to enter into the discansion of it. After a few words from Sir S. WHALLEY, which did not reach the gallery, . . Mr. KENNEDY consented to withdraw his motion. DUBLIN CORPORATION. Mr. O'CONNELL was exceedingly anxious to obtain eave to bring in a Bill to alter and reform the corporation of Dublin. No general measure of corporation reform would be beneficial for Ireland. Thu greatest misfortune which Ireland had was the total absence of a knowledge of its local institutions in that House. The corporation of Dublin was a corporation by prescription, by statute, and by usage, and be thought it had in it all the materials of good government. The Hon. and Learned Member then entered into a detailed statement as to the constitution of the corporation, which he said, consisted of a Lord Meyer, Aldermen, and Common Council, with several other officers. He repeated, that he did not deem it desirable to alter any of the leading features of the corporation. His objection to it was that it was not the corporation of Dublin, hut of a small part of Dublin ; and that the monopoly was confined to persons of one persuasion. His corrective was to render the corporation that of the people of Dublin, and to allow it to be no longer sectarian. The population of Dublin was about 300,000, and the number of freemen was only 1,000 so that it was a close corporation based upon 1,900 freemen. There were disc corporations of a very different descrip tion in Ireland. There were 44 corporations, consisting of 12 burgesses and a sovereign, which had been created by James the Second in one day; and in allusion to which, that monarch, when the number was remarked, is reported to have said—" The more the merrier."—(A laugh.) The Corporation of Dublin, however, was of a different description, and was created for a very different purpose. It had become a close Corporation, as already stated, biw• ever, and as Dublin was the seat of the courts of law, Juries were summoned by Sheriffs appointed by the Corporation, and the Jurors were summoned from that body. All the commercial property of the country, therefore, was liable to come under the control of tribunals tinged with the suspicion of being actuated by exclusive and peculiar prejudices. In 1792 Catholics became admissible to the Corporation of Du'din, but from that period to the present, not one Catholic had been admitted. What he proposed was that the city of Dublin should be divided into eight wards, and that the basis of the Corporation should rest on the 10/. householder. By this arrangement about 5,000 inhabitants would be admitted to tile Corporation, and probably the number would be doubled, if the temptation was held out that persons registering as 101. householders, would become members of the Corporation. He did not desire to press his measure this session beyond the first reading, but should merely move to introduce it, and have it printed. Mr. LITTLETON under ordinary circumstances should certainly have kit it his duty to oppose a Bill for altering tl:e constitution of any Corporation, whilst a Cniiimisaion 6(7 was proceeding in its tries on the subject, with a view to a general measure. He admitted, however, that it would difficult to deal with the Corporation of Dublin other oise than by specific enactments ; and upon the distinct understanding that the Hon. and Learned Member merely desired to submit his Bill to the House, and not to press it further this session, be (Mr. L.) should not oppose its introduction. Mr. SHAW said with all the Secretary for Ireland's (Mr. Littleton) desire to conciliate the Hon. Member for Dublin, he (Mr. Shaw) thought it was going too far to permit the Hon. and Learned Member to bring in a Bill merely for the purpose of making his opinions on this sub ject known, and as an instruction to the Commissioners now proceeding in their inquiries. The Commission was a mere delusion, and a shifting off of the shoulders of the Government what they ought to do on their own responsi bility. He had made the same observation on the Perlis. mentary Committee, but it applied far more strongly to the Commission. The question for the House now was, whether inquiry and legislation should go forward toge ther ? If the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin ob tained leave to introduce a Bill, he saw no reason why the Hon. Member for Tiverton's (Mr. Kennedy) motion should have been negatived. As to the proposal that the 101. householders should appoint the Corporate officers, that would be to give the appointment in effect to the Hon. and Learned Member himself. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Government had long wanted grounds and materials on which to found sortie general measure of corporation reform, and it was with the view of obtaining such that the Commission had been appointed. The Commissioners were highly re , pectable, and if they acted up to the notions which he bad conceived of them, they would not he dic tated to by any sing!e man, but would be guided by the matter of fact which came before them in drawing up their report. Mr.S rgeant LEFROY said it was preposterous to bring in aBB at the end of the session which it would be int possible to carry through. The SOLICITOR GENERAL argued that great good often resulted from introducing Bills in the present way, because the discussion on them frequently produced very good eff•cts, by introducing improvements, and he wished the plan was, therefore, followed in other cases besides the present. After a few words from Mr. VERNON SMITH and Mr. O'Cooteeeo, leave was granted to bring in the Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL postponed his motion for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Act 2 and 3 Will. IV., to 89, entitled " An Act for amending the representation of the people of Ireland." On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the other collets of the day were next proceeded with. Mr. HUME begged to know whether further consi deretion of the Bank Charter would be taken up. Lord ALTHORP said that after the Slavery Abolition Bill was disposed of, the Home would lie called on to re sume the consideration of the Bank Charter. Mr. POTTER said the House had been sitting un - interruptedly for six months ; that many Members bad had no time to see their families, or to attend to their private business, and he should be glad to know from the Noble Lord some opinion as to the duration of the session. Lord ♦LTHORP agreed that the sessioa had been long and arduous, but said that it was important the Bank Charter should be passed this year, and as it would not take a very long time after the Slavery BM was dispose I of, he hoped to get it through both Houses this session. BANKRUPT JUDGES BILL. On the motion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, the House was about to resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House on this Bill, when Mr. COLQUHOUN asked the Noble Lord (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) a question relative to a motion of which he had given notice. His Hen. Friend the Member for Caithness, in bringing forward a motion for the repeal of the Act JO Anne, c. 12, had been met by this obstacle—that such a motion could not be entertained at all without the concurrence of the Crown. He had been induced to give notice of this motion in order that this obstacle might be removed from the way of his lion. Friend when he brought this question again before the notice of Parliament next session, and he begged to learn from the Noble Lord whether he was prepared to signify the concurrence of the Crown to the consideration of this statute ? Lord ALTHORP said that at the time the Member for Caithness brought forward his motion he W not prepared to signify that concurrence; but now, in answer to the question of his Honourable Friend, he begged to say, without pledging himself or his Ma jesty's Government as to the course they should see fit to pursue, when the question should be brought forward ; he was, however, quite ready to say that the rights of the Crown should form no obstacle to a full discussion of the question. The House then went into Committee on the Bankrupt Judges Bill, and a resolution was agreed to, authorizing the Commissioners of the Treasury to pay a sum of money for the purpose of defraying the expenses on the travelling circuit of the Bankrupt Judges, when they striuld proceed to the provinces to relieve insolvent debtors. Sir E. KNATCHBULL said that a certain sum ought to be named for the purposes referred to. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL agreed that such a course would have been better, but the precise amount required was not known. He begged, however, to re mark, that in ail probability the duties of the Bankrupt Judges would be materially altered next session, and that those functionaries would no longer have their present offices to discharge. Mr. HUME was glad to find some business was faun I for the Bankrupt Judges, who Lad little or nothing tit In to fill up their time. After some further observations, the resolution wee agreed to. THE FACTORIES BILL. Lord ALTHORP moved the recommitta►, pro for»ur, of the Factories Bill, in order, by moving hl4 amen 1- ments, to put the Bill in the shape in which he intended to submit it to the House. Toe House resolved itself pro forma into the Com mittee, the amendments were read, and the report was ordered to be printed and taken into further consideration on Friday week. Mr. HUME moved for a return of copies of the tni mites of the Council of the Presidency of Madras, relative to the extension of trial by jury to the natives of that coun try. The Hon. Member also moved for a return of the number of Africans liberated and landed on the coast of Sierra Leone each year since the abolition of the slave trade. The returns were agreed to. Mr. HUME then presented a petition from Mr. Tilt mas Brown, of Fenchurch-street, in the City of I.onnilon, stating that he had been employed in passing private Bile through that House, upon one of which (the East London Railway) the expenses of House fees and printing came to 614/., upon which measures were taking to arrest him. For House fees alone the Speaker had testified to the amount of upwards of 4001. The petitioner prayed that Ids case might be referred to the Committee sitting upon the House fees. The petition was accordingly referred to the Committee up stairs. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the landlords of small tenements in the Tower Hamlets, praying that a more summary and cheap mode of ejectment might be devised. Also a petition from a number of farmers and able-bodied labourers respecting the poor laws; and two against the tithe system, from places in the county of Norfolk, and one, from a place in Ireland, in favour of parochial edu cation, Mr. HUME then presented a petition from the Glas gow political union, against allowing the Bishops to sit in the House of Lords. Also one from the political union of the Carse of Gowrie, praying for a revision of the sys. tern of taxation and the adoption of a graduated property tax ; and another from James Fisher, a prisoner io Lan• caster Castle, praying for an alteration of the law of libel. Mr. AGLIONBY gave notice that on the 6th August tie would move for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate and reader cheap the recovery of lands and tenements after notice to quit. The House then adjourned (quarter to ten o'clock). HOUSE OF TORDS, AUGUST L The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from Croydon, for a revision of the criminal code. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from three or four hundred Christians of Dudley, praying for the ra moval of the disabilities of the Jews. A Bill for the establishment of a court in the County Palatine of Chester, for the recovery of small debts, was irouglit up from the Commons, and read a first time. The Bishop of CHICHESTER presented a petition ruin (as we understood) the parish of Linton in the ~iunty of Sussex, complaining of there being no resident lergyman, although the tithes, which belonged to a lay impropriator, amounted to 6001. per annum. The Duke of GLOUCESTER presented a petition ;ruin the theatres of Drury-laneand Covent•garden, against he Dramatic Performances Bill. Petitions in favour of the Jewish Emancipation were presented by Lord Auckland, from Canterbury ; I,y Lord Bexley, from th e Jews residing in and near , y Lord Catnpe rdown, from Edinburgh ; an d b y L ords VeNtern and Poltimore, from other parts of the couritty.
