'Unt of the Conservative Dinner at Forres is rather too pL,rsonal. ,4„ be - - samtlt. eiior LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1833. 'her e is great division among the Tory er g as to the course which shall be adopted vthe Irish Church Reform Bill. It was be lid On Monday that they had made up their :I not to oppose that measure, lest ° Pposition should drive Earl GREY tt ; n ew creation of Peers ; hut it appears that %l e } of the Bishops, among whom even the of the Premier is mentioned, are de h,,i,tied on opposition ; and it is doubtful ti"r a sufficient number of Tory Peers will ) t stl nd to pledge themselves that they will ote against Ministers, so as to make t r e fo r Earl GREY to let the Bill take i k g i ' i nce in the House of Lords. Whatever t , 1 4 . I 't th e result, however, as regards the in 'thi°43 of the Tories in the House of Lords, e r't, from good authority, that the KING is ill e k i.e lied upon by Earl GREY, and that there tee ' e a creation of Peers if it should be found Nary. 'h l o , e Whole of Mr. STANLEY ' S resolutions on I ,l ' the Bill for the abolition of slavery is to :u ntied, were last night carried. On the ', l l44 sation resolution there were no less fi ve divisions. The only one of them ' l W , l 'ieh his Majesty's Ministers had not ~iit4Jerity of upwards of 200 or 300, was ‘"'hich took place on Mr. BUXTON'S pro- Z l °u to d e f er th e payment o f h a lf o f t h e , i; ' 4)0 ,0001. till the emancipation of the slaves a ctually effected. This appears to us a ° Oable proposition ; nor can we exactly see 'Wee of Lord AuTiroßP's objection to it. ga l Legislatures said that it might induce the Co. t l .° Legislatures too greatly to sh or t en th e A: 1 1 of apprenticeship. We hardly think this tt4 ,' The planters would know that, to a t y, they must rec e iv e the 10,000,0001. a t ti tL) ( l (.sf the period fixed by Parliament ; and ‘ytl'uot think th a t for the sake of rece i v i ng it 4 il it t O r two earlier, they would riot only de lte th emselves o f th e g ratuitous labour of the V ) but risk the ruin of their properties. I,llite t ention of the m o ney till slavery was really r) she(l , would merely give the executive a ~te p eheck upon any inclination to commit a N I of faith, w hi c h th e W e st Indians might 1 .11 ,3 ~l i ned to commit. When the whole of tutt i - eY was once paid, then they would have V t ~ e to same interest in keeping the negro in a ttti4slavery that they have now, or have had IN it last fifteen years. Every attempt to pre ktkitthe n egroes f or emanc i pat i on h as b ee n tt t il Y resisted by the planters, and now they 6 Nt ititi th eir own wrong as a reason for not l b e e immediate emancipation. The reason o ff a S good twelve years hence as it is f4t: ro aod then as now we may be told t tik,, t . ,the sake of the slaves, we must still t l 4 l d efer emancipation. Would it not be i r tip ta o t . i lepriv e the Colonial Legislatures of this t~ ia l ° l l to dishonesty, or rather to give them u te As r ualancing teinp , ation to honesty r. t he (, ruatter of detail, which can .be altereu ' u umiittee on the Bill, we yet hope to 15q. 19 1 4 9 1 4 24% EN 7% see some modification or other of the plan, which will take security against the contingency we have alluded to. The Merchant 'Tailors made a grand display yesterday in the Company's Hall, in that most satisfactory of all forms, a public dinner. It is astonishing what a dulcifying influence good eating and drinking (where all is of the best and there is nothing to pay) exercise over the bitter ness of party-spirit ! The stomach and the temper usually work together ; where one is satisfied, the other is not apt to be over fastidious. To the finished excellence of yesterday's viands we attribute the absence of any undue rancour on the part of those Ultras who attended the ovation. Not one among them all indulged in even the semblance of a passion. Their spleen took the mild, after-dinner form of pathos and gentle patriotism. They regretted the conduct of Ministers, but they did not fire their usual broad side at them. They did not arraign Whiggism like a ST. PAUL, but bewailed it like a .TERE MIAH. Hence it is clear to us that the turtle must have been superlative, the champaigne iced to a nicety. We were especially struck with the subdued gentleness of that most pathetic of Earls, Lord ELDON. The good man was all softness and sensibility, and as his whole speech was a sermon, so it was appropriately concluded with a prayer. Sir ROBERT PEEL, as usual, praised himself and his father. This was filial and commendable, for surely when no one else can be got to trumpet a statesman's praises, it is highly expedient that lie should sound his own. Every man must he the best judge of his own deserts, and it is beautiful to see what an accurate sense the Right Hon. Baronet entertains of his own sagacity. The Duke of WELLINGTON was all gratitude and moderation. But who could be otherwise after so good a dinner ? Our contemporary, the Morning Post, from whose dulcet and amiable columns we have derived our knowledge of this entertainment, regrets that it cannot find room for " the speeches of the Duke of BUCCLEUCH and the Marquis of SALISBURY." After attentive meditation on the subject, we find that we cannot sympa thize in this regret. We are orthodox in our notions of sleep, and do not like to be surprised by the " drowsy god" in broad daylight, which is apt to be the case when a Conservative speech is placed before us in all the horrors of a full length.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Calnilta papers to the 10th of February have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the paper of the 9th. ) . . "No arrivals from sea. The French hip /rams came off town on the ritit inst." (From the paper of the Bth.) . , "In another part of to-day's paper will he found the report of the Committee upon the affairs of Mr. Mackin tosh. To prevent mistakes we may mention that the approximate statement given at the meeting on the 22d ult. was founded upon the accounts as they s'ood on the 30th of April last, while the report of the committee refers to the state of affairs on the 4th of January, the day previous to the failure. We revert to this circumstance because it is possible it might escape the notice of some of our readers, as we confess it did our own whe❑ we first saw the report. In the estimate of assets made by the Committee, we understand the partners of the firm do not concur, and we believe they will state to the meeting to-morrow the grounds of their dissent. " His Excellency the Commander-in-Chiefarrived in Calcutta on the 6th of February, when the usual salute was fired." THE FUNDS. Owing to the hurricane which prevailed yesterday, we have very scanty arrivals this morning. There is an arrival at Cowes of a Royal Cub Yacht, from ()Fort°, but the information she brings has not as yet transpired. Letters were received from Oporto of the Ist inst.; all was quiet at that date ; 83 vessels were off the bar. A morning paper of yesterday, which made so much bustle, and caused some anxiety to the specWators in the funds, respecting the departure of M. Dedel, has made this morning an amende honorable, on receiving more authentic accounts on the subject, stating, " We stated yesterday, on authority which we have always found cor rect, that the Chevalier Dedel had been recalled. We are told to-day, by a petson who certainly ought to know, that the Chevalier is only going down for a week or ten days, in order to have personal communication with his Government upon the matters which are to be the subject of the remaining negotiations." [This we stated in our city article of Monday evening.] Consols, which left off yesterday at 90i for the Ac count, opened this morning at 90N at which price they are at preseut. HALF-PAST ONE. M. Dedel, the Dutch Ambassador, we are informed, left this morning for Holland to visit his family, and to have a personal interview with his Dutch Maj,sty, who reluctantly granted him permission of 15 da y s' absence. Nothing has, as yet, transpired of the information the Royal yacht brings from Oporto. Consols have continued during the whole of the morn ing at 901 i for the Account, with little or nothing doing. The Foreign Market is in the same state as that of the British ; most of the prices are as per yesterday. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 90i 11. A COQUETTE IN INDIA.—" And who," said I, " is that pretty young lady, to whom three gentle men are paying court ?" "It is Miss T. giving lao s to her triumvirate ; she possesses talents of no common order. What an acquisition she would have been to the Czar, or the coteries of Paris ! She has not yet numbered twenty summers, yet observe with what a delicate poise she preserves the balance of power. To one of her adorers she had given her fan—to another her scarf—the third was au desespoir.' What was to be done ? Fortu nately, the riband of her sandal was loose ; she toll the despairing one to tie it ; he did so; recovered his aiety ; and an universal equilibrium was the consequence." —.East indict Magazine. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of Trinity Term, his Honour the Vice-Chancellor proceeded with motions, but no case of any public interest had come before the Court when our reporter left. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) RAYWORTH V. MARRYATT. The arguments in this case, which was an application for a new trial, were resumed to-day. The suit was in stituted by an alien at law for the purpose of impeaching the validity of an instrument, set up as the last will and testament of a person named Haycock, who was a grasier at Market Harborough, and died possessed of conside rable property. The allegation in the bill was, that a so licitor, one of the devisees, had procured the will to be exe cuted,under which he himself took a benefit to a large amount both as pecuniary and residuary legatee, unduly influencing the mind of the testator, who it seems was subject to de lirium arising from irregular and intoxicating habits. At the hearing of the cause an issue was directed for the pur pose of having the validity of the will determined by a jury. The jury had found in favour of the will, and the present motion was for a new trial of that issue, on the ground of misdirection by the Learned Jute to the jury. The principal grounds on which it was insisted that a new trial ought to be granted was, that the Learned Judge had over-looked a question of law that it was necessary, in a case where a person standing in the relation of confidential adviser, and who conducted the execution of a deed or will under which he cook a beneficial interest, should give direct, clear, and decisive evidence that the testator had a precise knowledge of the contents of the deed or will, and the ex tent of the benefit he was giving to his adviser, the Learned Judge having proceeded on the presumption that because the testator had signed the will it must be taken that he bad full knowledge of its contents. His HONOUR, in giving judgment, observed that he per fectly agreed with the statements of the Learned Judge who tried the issue, that an attorney who had a prudent regard for his own character would always avoid, if pos- sible, the drawing of a will or deed under which he was to derive considerable benefit, but be equally agreed that there might ha circumstances in which an attorney could not consistently avoid it; but an attorney so situated, who had a prudent regard for his character, would take care f to h ive clear and positive evidence of the intention of the testator to make the gift. If he failed to use that precau tion, he must expect that the transaction would be viewed with jealousy, and it would be the duty of the judge who had to direct the jury, to call their particular attention to the special circumstances of the case, but in the apprehension of his Honour, it would not be the duty of the Judge to tell the jury that they could not infer this knowledge of the testator of the contents of the instrument from cir cumstantial evidence. His Honour had considered toe summing up of the Learned Judge, who, he thought, had fully discharged his duty in the manner he had put the case to the jury with whose verdict he was satisfied. With that verdict his Honour was equally sa tisfied, and he must therefore refuse the motion for a new trial with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) THE HERTFORD ELECTION.-THE KING V. DUN. COMM, ESQ. Mr. TALBOT appeared en the part of the Marquis of Salisbury, and Mr. Pemberton, Mayor of Hertford, the prosecutors in two indictments for a libel against Mr. Dun combe, one of the candidates at the Lst election, to show cause against a rule obtained by the defendant for the re moval of the venue from the county of Hertford to the county of Middlesex, on the gi ound, as stated by the de fendant, that a fair and impartial trial could ❑ot be had in the former county. There was another indictment against the printer of the lii el, and a rule had been .Iready made absolute for the trial of that indictment at Chelms ford, which was the next county town, and therefore, as the witnesses would be all at Chelmsford, anti Counsel were engaged there, be (Mr. Talbot) would have no ob jection to have the indictments removed there. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that seemed reason able. He asked if all the three indictments were for the same libel ? Mr. JOY, on the part of the defendant, said they were. Two indictments were at the instance of Mr. Pember ton, the Mayor, against Mr. Dunconibe and against the printer, and one at the instance of the Marquis of Salis bury against Mr. Duncombe. He objected to the re moval to Chelmsford of any of the indictments, on the ground that it was considerably farther from Hertford than Middlesex was, anti the expense would be consequently much greater. lie had affidavits both from Mr. Dun combe and the printer, which showed that the latter had been led to believe that he would be exonerated if he gave up the name of the author of the placard, and that he gave up Mr. Duncornb,.. They had, however, pro ceeded also against the printer, which was exceedingly unfair. One of the objections made to removing the trials to Middlesex was, that the Middlesex list of causes was already overloaded, and great delay might therefore take place before the trials could come on; but, on the part of Mr. Duncombe, he would offer no obstacle to the trials coming on during the sittings after the present term ; or it that were not agreed to, ko inconvenience would arise from any delay. The libel merely charged the Marquis of Srbsbury with an unconstitutional interference with the rights of election, and with creating fourteen days' leases to enable his Lordship to exercise an unconstitutional interference and influence in the right of voting ; and it charged against the Mayor that he permitted a num ber of active partisans of Mr. Duncombe's opponents Lords Inges rie and Mahon to be encamped in his field ; that was nut denied by the Mayor's affidavit, but it stated that they were there without his knowledge. The Learned Counsel would therefore submit, whether it would not be better to allow the prosecutors a little time to consider whether it would not be better to forego the prosecution against the printer. Mr. TALBOT on the part of the prosecutors said, he desired to have no time. Mr. JOY then submitted that the venue should be changed to Middlesex. The Court would find it was sworn that the Marquis of Salisbury, from his connections and extensive property in the county of Hertford, hail very considerable influence there, and that he had for his solicitor Messrs. Nicholson and Longmore, who were active partisans of Lords Ingestrie and Mahon, the late op ponents of Mr. Duncombe ; it was also sworn that one of those solicitors was under-sheriff for the county, and the other town-clerk for the borough of Hertford. The COURT were of opinion that as one trial hail been fixed to take place at Chelmsford, it was but reasonable that the others should take place there also. The Court could give no opinion as to the expediency of withdrawing pro ceedings as against the printer. If the counsel on both sides could not agree upon changing the venue to Chelms ford, the rule must be discharged, thereby leaving the cases where they were now—viz., in the county of Herthord. Mr. JOY said he would rather prefer Hertford to Chelmsford. The rule was then discharged. THE FATAL DUEL AT EXETER-THE ICING V. SIR JOHN JEFFCOTT ANI) OTHERS. Mr. EARLE moved on the part of two of the defendants, Mr. Mid, ird and Mr. Holland, who, with Sir J. Jeffcott, and Captai❑ Halstead, had been charged by a coroner's inijoi , it;on with the wilful inurili.a. f Dr. Henni•, at Exeter, for a rule to issue for a writ of certiorari, directed to the Coroner, to remove the inquisition into this Court, from the jurisdiction of the city of Exeter ; and also for a rule calling on the prosecutor t) show cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue to remove any indictment that might be preferred against the defendants in the city of Exeter in th,t jurisdiction, in order to have it tried at the assizes for the county of Devon. The affidavits of Mr. Mitferd and Mr. Holland stated that they had been committed to the County Gaol, that the offence was committed partly in the county, but completed in the city; that was that the deceased received his wound on Haldon Hill, in the county, and died i❑ the city. The jury, in finding their verdict of wi l ful murder, expressed their regret that they were obliged to include George Halstead, because it appeared to them that he exerted himself to effect a reconciliation between the parties. It was further stated, that Dr. Hennis was well known and highly respected in Exeter; and that considerable prejudice and excitement prceailed against the defendants; that on the walls of the town this question and answer were posted:—cc Who mur dered Dr. 'Tennis, Mitford, and Hollan 4." . There were also representations of gibbets, with two persons hanging, who, the defendants believed, were intended to represent them. The affidavits of three of the inhabitants were confirmatory of the opinion, that from these proceedings and the state of excitement and prejudice, the defendants were not likely to have a fair and impartial trial at the quarter sessions for the city of Exeter. The Couwr were of opinien that rules nisi should be granted to both the applic ttions. Mi. GAaiBIeP. then, on behalf of the defendant Capt. Halstead, who was confined in the county gaol, for a writ of habeas corpus to remove him into the city gaol ; in older that he might be tried at the city quarter sessions, which would take place six weeks earlier than the assizes, and be was desirous of being tried there ; after which the proceedings, as regarded the other defend ants, could be removed in accordance with the rules which had been just granted to Mr. Earle for two other defendants. Captain Halstead did not complain of any prejudice against him, and his being tried at the Sessions was his undoubted right, as he had been committed to that jurisdiction, and he would have the benefit of a trial six weeks sooner than at the Assizes. The COURT granted the rule. Mr. GAMBIER asked that Captain Halstead be admitted to bail. The COURT said there was not the necessary informa tion before them. That application could be hereafter made before a Judge at Chambers. COURT OF REVIEW.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE KNOWLES AND OTHERS, BANKRUPTS. Mr. SWANSTON stated that a petition bad been pre sented to the Court a short time back, to supersede, with the consent of creditors, a commission which had been issued against the bankrupts, hut this objection had arisen in drawing up the order, namely, that two of the bank rupts had not surrendered. The application to supersede was with the consent of the persons who bad issued the commission, and of all the parties interested in maintaining it, and sending them to go through the form of the bank rupts' surrendering would only be inflicting delay and ex pense. Undoubtedly, the practice in bankruptcy uniformly was, that the bankrupt must surrender to the commission before it could be superseded. But, in the case of ex-parte Glynn, the commission, with the consent of creditors, was superseded by Lord Lyndhurst, although the bank rupt had not surrendered. The Court said there were not any circumstances in this case which warranted their taking it out of the ge neral rule, and so violating one of the great and funda mental principles of the English law. In the case of ex parte Glynn, there probably appeared to the Learned Judge good reasons for the course he took, and for revers ing his former decision ; but in ex-parte Drake, a case similar to the present, the commission was not superseded till the bankrupt had done ali that was necessary to purge him from his previous contempt of Court. The commis. sion, however, might be superseded, as far as regarded the bankrupts who had surrendered. EX PARTE GIBBONS. This was the petition of William Gibbons and others, tipataves of the Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, stating that the duty of attending persons confined in the different prisons, required to be taken be fore the Commissioners of Bankrupts, was performed by them, and that they received no remuneration for the con siderable space of time taken up in so conducting and at. tending them during their examination. They had for merly been paid 13s. 4d., which sum was afterwards raised to 1/. ; but the Commissioners had determined that it should be done away with altogether, although the mes senger was allowed 13s. 4d. for merely preparing and bulging the warrant of the Commissioners with them, re quiring the party to be brought before them. The peti tioners received no regular salary, but were entirely de pendent upon fees. The COURT could not make any order upon the peti tion, but would take an early opportunity of communica ting with the Commissioners upon the subject. 1M PERIALPA R LIA MENT THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The gallery was opened at a quarter past twelve o'clock, when we found about thirty Members in the House. Mr. GILLON presented a petition from Hamilton, in Lancashire, praying that it might he added to the neigh bouring boroughs or the election of magistrates; and a perition from Paisley against tithes ; on the presentati!,n of which the Hon. Member said that he had already pre sented many petitions on this subject, and that he was convinced a large majority of the inhabitants of this country, and of Scotland, were decidedly opposed to the further continuance of this oppressive impost. Indeed, he should not be surprised if the people rose en masse, if their just expectations were not complied with. if the grievance was so much lit in this island, how much more so must it be in Ireland ? He hoped that in that ill-treated country it would be no longer attempted to propagate the doctrines of a Christian church by blood and violence— (Hear, hear)--for he was of opinion that if the Legisla ture did not very soon settle this important matter, the people would at length take it into their own hands, and annihilate a system that was so repugnant to every notio❑ of justice.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HENRY GRATTAN said that he would take that opportunity of stating that he held in his hand ex tracts from official documents, by which it appeared that religious education cost 20s. a head in Ireland, and only 2s. in Scotland. Mr. LEE LEE presented a petition from the principal yeomen of the neighbourhood of Ilminster, in Somerset, praying for a more efficient alteration in the tithe system, than is promised by the Ministerial Bill now before the House. The petitioners stated that they had expected that the Ministerial measure would have allowed the cultivators of the soil to reap the benefit of their capital and exertions ; hut, by this Bill, they would have to pay a full tenth of the gross pro duce of the land. The petitioners stated, that their tithes, as compared with their rentals,had been materially increased during the last forty years, by means of indirect taxation ; and prayed that, in the proposed alteration of the tithe sys tem, it might be made a leading feature that the tenth of the annual value of the land, as ascertained by amount of rental, should be paid, instead of a tithe of the gross pro duce. The Hon. Member supported the prayer of the petition, and expressed his hostility to the proposed Bill, as exceedingly unfair to the agricultural interest. ENFORCEMENT OF TITHES IN IRELAND. Colonel BUTLER sail, he had to present a pe tition of the utmost importance, although coming from a private individual ; and he would take leave to call the attention of the House to it by reading it. The petition was from Patrick Tracey, in the county of Kilkenny ; but before he read it he should express his regret that neither the Noble Lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer, nor the Right Honourable Gentleman the late Sect etary for Ireland were present. If the Noble Lord were in the House, he (Col. Butler) had some hopes that a stop would be put to such proceedings as those complained of. The petitioner stated, that on Tuesday, the 16th of April last, he was in bed, at his residence, and that in the same house were his brother-in-law, Cabinn, and Cahinn's wife and sister ; that they were alarmed by a knocking at she door, and that they were asked by the policemen who were knocking, if any list had been left at the house. On being informed that there was none, the police de manded admission. After describing the particulars of the entrance of the police, and the conversation that en sued, the petitioner stated that he was asked to pay im mediately the sum of sixteen shillings, which he owed for tithes, to the Reverend Dr. Butler, under pain of immediate imprisonment, and a threat, that if lie was not quiet he would be handcuffed. The money was paid, and he obtained, next morning, a receipt signed by the chief constable. The petitien complained that the police were riot accompanied by either a magistrate or chief constable, and that the petitioner's case was by no means a solitary one, but one of many such daily occurring in the neighhourhood.—(Hear, he ir.) The Ilwitiener &t:i.vd himself Ise v,o poor to sb- , ,•tr r-dreg through. a cou rse o f l aw , an d praye d t h e H on. House to interfere, and prevent the perpetration of such illegal acts. He bad also an affidavit in his hand, upon which the petition was founded. but as it, was almost all embodied in the petition, he would not trouble the House by read ing it. But he had in his hand the receipt which was given for the tithes, and which was signed by the chief constable, thereby clearly showing that he approved of the sergeant's conduct, otherwise he would have brought hint to condign punishment. Now, to trace the transaction to the Government, it was only necessary to state that the Chief Constable was obliged, by his duty, to make a daily re port to the Deputy Inspector-General of the district, who imam was in daily correspondence with the Insp,ctor- General at the Castle of Dublin. Ile was always of opinion that the Coercive Bill was intended to enforce the payment of tithes, lint it never once entered his mind that it could be pl.t in force without the presence of a Magistrate, or at the very least a chief constable. If the powers which it gave were to be intrusted to such men as those in ques tion, they would be used for the purposes of extortion, for many most respectable persons might he taken up when returning from a fair or a wake, who would rather pay money than he confined all night in a police barrack. Mr. F. O'CONNOR regretted very much that the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer, and sonic others of the Ministry, were not present, as well as the Learned Member for the University of Dublin (Mr. Shaw) upon such an . occasion, for it would have given them those proofs of which he said the other night they stood in need. Were the people of England aware, that for the purpose of upholding what was called the ‘' Word of the Lord," Government kept up a force of 23,700 Soldiers and 10,000 police marauders to scour the country? This was not a single in s t ance ; he himself had seen eight different divisions breaking into houses for tithes, where not a penny was due. The fact was, these proceedings were taken for the purpose of forcing the people to enter into an arrangement with the proctor, that he :might extract arrears of tithes which were not due. If the Noble Lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been present, he would have told him that his government was one of the moat imbecile, truckling, and infamous that ever sat on those benches. With regard to the last part of the petition, the repeal of the union, when that great man, Mr. Pitt, brought it forward, he said that when feuds and agitation prevailed, it would be better that the consideration of it should be taken at a distance, when it would be more calmly dis posed of. But he denied that. Would the people get no redress if such proceedings as these were laid before a do mestic Legislature, when the wrongs were fresh in the memories of the whole population ? He would tell the Government, that they were taking the same steps to prevent the repeal of the union, as a celebrated individual did to obtain that measure. Then there was that House passing their votes of confidence, only because they had not gone very far wrong. He would tell the blun dering and truckling Government, in the words of the great Lord Burleigh, " that they would ruin England with a Parliament." Mr. FINN said, as the petition came from his part of the country, he must be allowed to say a few words upon it. All agreed, even in Court, that Sergeant Shaw bad acted very imprudently--that was the word—he was disposed to use a much harder term. There was one part of the petition which almost incited him to laughter; the simple petitioner said that tie Coercive Bill would never have passed through that House, had it not been assured that it would not be used for the purpose of enforcing tithes. Poor simple man—he did not know that House. He (Mr. F.) had never seen or heard of such a House of Commons—any measure, whatever might be its nature, would receive their support if it was only asked' by Ministers—it was the most truckling House that had ever sat within those walls. It was said that the people had no confidence in the House of Lords, but the people were more widely separated from that House, and in the event of a dissolu tion three fourths of the Members would never appear there again. And yet that noble phalanx who strenuously opposed that infamous Bill, and foretold its consequences, were reviled, insulted, and called assassins and their coun try's enemies. That was a Reformed Parliament, whose first act was the passing of such an infamous and bloody Bill as that now complained of.—(Cries of " Hear.") It was said that Ireland would want no repeal of the Union, when all the beneficial measures that Ministers would propose were brought forward. But he could tell them, that the repeal of the Union was more rife than ever it was; they had already put down the right of pe titioning, and had " established" (as the Hon. Member said) the Habeas Corpus Act. Heasked, ought Englishmen to be allowed more privileges than Irishmen ? Although they might extinguish liberty in Ireland, the spirit of liberty would yet live, and would ultimately triumph.—(Hear, hear.) The cause of the oppressed was common to both countries, and it was impossible that that House could be permitted to trample on Ireland. As to the case of the petitioner, his was by no means a solitary instance, but be would not now go into them seeing what a mass of busi ness was now before the House. Mr. MACLEOD intreated the House to suspend itsjudg naent until some Member of the Government was present, who could either contradict the statements in the petition on official information, or would consent to make inquiry into them. He had invariably supported the Ministers.— (Hear, hear, from the Opposition)—in passing what was called the Coercive Bill—( Hear, hear)—believing that it would restore tranquillity to the country, and although its powers might have been, in a few instances, abused, he believed that it had done considerable good.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it would have been but fair to have presented the petition when some Member of the Govern ment was present, and had a knowledge of its contents. Cdonel BUTLER—I informed the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer that I would present it to-day.—(Hear.) Mr. MACLEOD begged the Hon. and Gallant Member's pardon. He, however, regretted that from the unexpected occurrence of the delay in returning the writ, the Right lion. Secretary for Ireland (Mr. Littleton) had not yet taken his seat, because it was important that he should have been present. An Hon. MEMBItit, whose name was not known, said the facts contained in the petition afforded one of many instances in which the pledges that had been given by Ministers had been violated. He pledged himself, when ever an inquiry was instituted, to prove many such eases. Mr. ROTI-iVEN said a communication had been made upon the subject of this petition to the Noble Lord (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), but he was sorry to say that anything respecting Ireland was treated in a disrespect ful manner. As to the repeal of the Union, the peop e looked to that only as a dernier resort ; for thirty three years they had looked in vain to England for an equality of rights and privileges, and they now sought the means of obtaining the manag...noent of their own affairs. There was an industrious circulation by the press of this country of rumours injurious to the people of Ireland— there was in a base portion of the press of England a mean trading principle adopted towards Iretand. Taunts were held out by some persons that those Members, favourable to the repeal of the union, dared not bring it forward; but he could tell those persons, and would tell his constituents, that it would be brought forward, and that, too, at as early a period as was possible. They (the repealers) only desired a fair, a calm, and dispassionate discussion ; that they had a right to de►rtand, and if they could not obtain it, Ireland would he justified in demanding a sepa ration and a domestic legislature. It they could not ob tain justice from the British Pat liatuent, it could not be believed that they would live under a rod of tyranny, when they couA take the means of relieving thetnselves. The repealers were a strong and powerful phalanx, not only in that House but ought of it. He would support the repeal of the Union whenever it was brought before that House. Mr. LAMBERT thought that the course that had been adopted in Irel Ind in the collection of tithes, was a most gross violation of good faith on the part of his Majesty's Government, and be again a Member of that House, would persevere in exposing to the House and the coun try what he considered a gross and scandalous violation of a most sacs d promise. Mr. H. GRATTAN said that House had become a com plete Government one ; no Member was able to bring for ward measures, it they had given notice of it, if his Majesty's Ministry did not wish it. He had been a Member of that House since 1806, and could truly say that he never was so ashamed of the conduct of any Parliament as the present ; and he felt convinced that the House, if it persevered in the course it was now pursuing, would never give satisfaction to the people.: Could it be said that that House had done its duty by voting twenty millions for the relief of a species of nondescripts, while they left eight millions of people starving ? What was now the situation of Ireland ? Why to relieve the peasantry of Ireland from the effects of a detestable law they were obliged to appeal to the huma ni y of the military. Mr. SHAW felt for the conduct that had been pursued by souse of the Irish Metnbers in that Hi use. When English Members came down with the intention of doing business, they had counted the House out, and when petitions on the suhj'ct of Ireland were brought forward, they took that opportunity of occupying the time of the House by humbug sort of discus sions about any thing.—(Hear, hear, hear.) As to the accusations that had been made against Ministers of a breach of public faith, he did not stand forward as their apologist, but he could not ccc how the observations that had been made use of could apply to them. He had always said, and he would now repeat, that the Irish Co. ercive Bill had been rendered necessary by the not putting into effectual ex.cu•ion the laws as they existed in Ireland. Hon. Members seemed to him to wish order and peace in Ireland, b except as it regarded the Irish Church. All he claimed for the clergy of Ireland was the benefit of the law ; if they violated the law he would say, let them be punished for it.—(Hear, hear.) He knew nothing of the case before the House—(Hear)—but he wild venture to say that when the facts of the case were in quired into, it would be found, as was generally the cAse, that the circLunstanc;s were greatly exaggerated, if not whol:y untrue..._ Mr: HENRY GRATTAN explained that what be had said was, that the Right Hon. Secretary was wholly mis taken in stating the evidence as for 1830. Mr. LAMBERT disclaimed the idea of devoting the clergy to bloodshed. His wish was that they should be protected, but that they should not go beyond the law or the intention of the Legislature. It hod fallen from the Noble Lord at the head of Woods and Forests, :and from the Noble Lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer, during the debate on the Irish Disturbances 8.11, that tithes were not the description of property sou2ht or intended to be protected by the provisions of that Bill.—(llear.) Mr. BARRON protested against the tone adopted by the Hon. Member for the University of Dublin : which was such as to lead to the supposition, that other Members for Ireland did nut come into that House pos sessed of a 3 much ability and information as that lion. Member.—(Hear.) Ile treated such dictatorial manners with a great deal of contempt.—(Cries of " Order.") The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member was without question out of order if he meant to apply his observations personally to the Hon. Member who preceded him. Mr. BARRON disclaimed any intention of giving per sonal offence to the Hon. Member, and contended that if the Irish Members bad had their wishes conceded to, on the resolution that was proposed for the purpose ~ of pre venting the application of the . Coercion Bill to 'the ,:,illection of tithes, there wotild no•. have been 'ittelt a petition before the House.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped .0 God as an honest man, that the people of Ireland would ways retain their hatred of tithes..:—(Heir, hear.) They were subjected to all sorts of periecution,—persecution on the score of religious opinion persecution in education —and persecution in the collection of the most odious imposts.—(Hear, bear, hear.) The Honburible Member for the University said that the clergy never transgressed the law ; but i then they sheltered them s.lves behind the injustice of the law.—(Hear.) In his country, a wretch of an attorney was employed by the :lergy to collect the tithes ; and instead of enforcing pay 'tient by a process at Quarter Sessions, which would cost seven or eight shillings, he employed a process by which the poor people, who were living on one or two acres of land, in a miserable Irish hovel, were charged three or four pounds.—(Hear.) And in Ardmore, in the county of Waterford, a Bill had been filed against the poor tithe payers, in the Court of Exchequer, by which the costs which might have been restricted to SOl. were run up to 5001.—(Hear, hear.) This, then, was the way in which the clergy of Ireland kept within the law.—(Cheers.) Mr. SHAW, in explanation, said that he had not stated that the clergy had not transgressed the law, as quoted by the Hon. Member, what he said was, that if they transgressed the law, they ought to be punished. Before he sat down, be would declare that he considered his tone and manner to be quite as courteous as that of the Hon. Gentleman ; and that, at least, he did not transgress upon the courtesy of the House.--(Hear, hear.) Mt. RONAYNE deprecated all invidious attacks ou individuals, and hoped that Hon. Members would direct all their efforts against the present unjust system of bad laws by which the people of Ireland were afflicted. The Honourable Member deprecated exceedingly the course which Ministers were pursuing in reference to the early sittings of that House. When they had any practical object to serve, such as the presenting of petition, being received, which was yesterday presented by the Hon. Member fur Oldham, they were to be found with their adherents strongly mustered on the Treasury Benches, but whenever they had effected their object they immediately walked out of the House, without further ceremony. Mr. J. RUTH VEN said, that he considered the conduct of Ministers yesterday an indignity to the House and to the eountry,and therefore he had moved that the House should be counted. If the same thing should again occur, he should feel himself quite justified in following the same mode. Mr. THICKNESSE gave notice that in Committee on the Bank Charter, he would move a law for the purpose of preventing injury to the country in seasons of political panic to the effect that the directors should not be permitted, after Jan. 1836, to invest, or continue in vesting in the funds more than the amount subscribed and the surplus capital. Mr. RIDER presented two petitions from Ayleaford, and another from a place in the county of Kent, praying fora repeal of the duty on malt. Sir JOHN HAY presented a petition from the Edinburgh Corporation of Webstera, against the Scotch borough Reform Rill. Mr. HYATT presented a petition from the ministers, churchwarden., owners of land, and other inhabitants of Risley, in the county of Gloucester in favour of the renewal of the East India Company's Char tPr, deprecating the disastrous and extensive evils which might revolt from the sudden change that would be effected by detaining the charter; and praying if the House determined in declaring the privileges of the Com pany at an end, they should allow time before the new plan came into active operation, for the manufacturers to find employment for their work people in some other channel. Mr. F. O'CONNOR moved that the House be counted, in compliment to those Members who had petitions to present, as well as to the Noble Lord (Duncannon) who had condescended to look in upon them. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but as there were exactly forty Members present, we were re-admitted, when Mr. PARROT presented a petition from Bally Pomeroy, in D;vonshire, against the English Tithe Commutation Bill. They thought that the appointment of a valuation by a judge at the assize was not a fair mode, and that he ought to be appointed in the same way as was done in common references. After the presentation of some further petitions tte House adjourned. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrival of Wheat, Barley, and Beans, continue small, but of Oats the quantity is considerable. The trade for Wheat. Barley, and Beans, remains as reported on Monday, with little doing. Oats are not so lively as on Monday, but the factors will not submit to less prices for such as are dry and sound. Flour remains as last noted. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Flour.

The Editor of that respectable paper The Sun, is re. quested by the prisoners in the Fleet to animadvert on the extraordinary delays on the part of the Solicitor-General, in bringing in the Bill to abolish Imprisonment for Debt, which, in answer to an inquiry from Mr. O'Connell, on Monday, he promised to introduce last evening, when not a word was said on the subject. The prisoners have nn doubt that the impartiality of the Editor, and his sense of what is due to the public, will induce him to treat the subject with the serious attention it merits. Fleet Prison, June 12. [Our correspondent is tnistaken in supposing that no thing was said upon the subject. The lite hour to which the slavery debate was continued, rendered it ne cessary fur the Solicitor-General to postpone bringing in the list to which our correspondent refers till Thursday next.] We believe a great many practices of a very exceptionable character were once common both in the army and navy. It was common formerly for officers to have false musters, in order to draw pay for a number of men beyond the strength of the regiment, battalion, or com pany, as is notoriously done in the Russian army at this day. The Author of " Field Sports in the West," tele a story of a Catholic priest lending a congregation to his friend the Protestant rector, on an Archiepiscopal visit. In like manner whole regiments, it is said, are occasi , inally lent for an inspection by one Russian Colonel to another. It is, we believe, understood that few traces of any suck irrecularities now prevail in the British service.—Morning Paper. RELEASE OF MR. HODNETT.—cI letter has been received by Mr. CALLAGHAN from Mr. SPRING Rice, stating that the Lords of the Treasury had i.sued directions for the immediate release of Mr. HODNETT from the goal of this city, upon the condition of his entering into a bond of 501. not in future to violate any of the revenue laws.— Cirk Reporter. His Majesty's ship Waterloo, 120 guns, was launched yesterday at Chatham. It had been stated that their MAJESTIES would be present, but such was not the case, neither had any preparations to receive them been made, as no orders on the subject had reached the autho rities of the dockyard. The strike of the carpet weavers for an ad vance of wages has now continued five weeks, and there is, as yet, little prospect of its termination.

UNITED KINGDOM AGRICULTURAL IN• STITUTION.—A general open meeting of the committee, subscribers, and friends of this parent institution was held on Monday at the Board-room in Sackville-street, the Hon. RANDAL E. PLUNEATT in the chair, for the pur pose of receiving the report of the committee of manage ment on the progress it bad made with respect to the extension of the benevolent objects of this institution to Ireland at this crisis. The correspondence with several noblemen and gentlemen in favour of the objects contem• plated by this institution (which is totally unconnected with any other) was laid before the meeting, as well as the legal opinions of those gentlemen who bad been con sulted by the committee, when It Was unanimously de. cided that the leading principle of tht institution (as a voluntary society) is in support of the htr of settlement and all existing statutes with respect to the security of property and the rights and interests of private indivi duals by the mcde of relief it proposes for the poor throughout the United Kingdom. The Hon. Chairman expressed himself gratified with the various explanations afforded him. Several important resolutions were passed unanimously, after which the thanks of the meeting, which was most respectably attended, Was voted to tee Hon. Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.--A young Nobleman, a student of Christ Church, Oxford, has re cently received a severe personal chastisement, in the pre sence of his tuts and several of his friends, from another student in the same University.
