Well might the Duke of ORLEANS say, in the letter to his father, which we published a few days ago, " J'ai acquis la certitude dans les rela tions que eu avec le corps diplomatique, que LEOPOLD n'a rien « esperer des emirs du Nord." Since writing the above, we find by our City Correspondent that the departure of M. DEDEL has been postponed. Our Parliamentary report informs us that Mr. STANLEY'S resolution, establishing appientice ship instead of slavery in the West Indies, was last night carried, after a division upon the question of whether the words " for wages" should be inserted. This was originally Mr. BUXTON'S amendment, but he declining to press it, that he might not appear in opposition to the Government to which the emancipators were so much indebted, Mr. O'CONNELL took it up, but was defeated by a large majority. Mr. STANLEY then proposed the next resolution, which was to grant 20 millions instead of 15 millions to the planters as compensation. The dif ference between the sums is not great ; we can raise the one as easily as the other ; and if, as Mr. PATRICK STEWART says, it will have the effect of securing the cordial co-operation of the West Indians, it will he a cheap sacrifice. A private letter from Paris states that on Sun day evening another affray occurred between some soldiers of the garrison, but it was not of so serious a character as the preceding affair, of which we gave an account some days ago. A vessel, filled with sailors, for the use of the Portuguese Constitutional fleet, has just left for Oporto. This reinforcement will be very useful, particularly as the men have been carefully selected. German Papers, received to-day, state that the Russians will leave Constantinople imme diately the Egyptian army returns beyond Mount Taurus.

The French Papers of Sunday contain an official report of Marshal SOULT, by which it appears that the effective force of the French army for 1833 amounts to 413,000 men. The Duchess of BERRY took her departure from Blaye to Palermo on Saturday last. It was reported in Paris that a Spanish army, to co operate with that of Don MIGuEL, had been ordered to be collected on the frontiers of Por tugal. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour, the MASTER of the ROLLS, was occu pied the whole morning with the arguments in a case of Hayworth v. Marryatt, which was a motion for a new trial. We shall enter more fully into the facts when his Honour gives judgment. VICE•CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CLOTH•WORKERS' COIPA NY. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL staters that this was an in formation filed against the Cloth-workers' Company, who were the trustees of a property called Heron's Charity. The question related to the application of the rents and profits of that charity by the Cl ith Ayotkers' Company. He was ready to admit that that Company had acted most fairly with respect to the funds in their posses inn. He had therefore agreed to the decree proposed, that so far as the funds were directed by the will of the founder to be applied in a certain manner, they should be so applied; and with respect to the residue that it should be divided among the separate objects of the testator's bounty, in the same proportion as they would have taken under the general charitable bequest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. RUSSELL. An application having been made, on a former day, by the Solicitor-General, for a criminal information against the defendant, a printer at Birmingham, for publishing a placard in that town, containing a libel on the Commis_ sioners of Birmingham, a rule nisi was granted. Tne libel in question was published in consequence of a per son's goods having been seized for rates, and calling upon the inhabitants to attend the sale, and mark the " wretch" who dared to buy them. It also contained some strong aspersions against the comtnissioner, The defendant to .day. appeared in Court, and showed cause against the rule. He complained of having been se lected for prosecution, instead of having, as was usual in such case , been required to give up the name of the author. He attributed the prosecution solely to a desire to punish him, not for the sake of the libel, but because he bad rendered himself obnoxious to the com missioners, by endeavouring to place a proper control over the funds in the hands of the commissioners. The SOLICITOR GENERAL was about to argue in sup port of the rule, when he was stopped by The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, who said the Court were all of opinion that the rute should be made absolute. THE KING V. LORD TEYNIIAIki AND DONLAN. In this case it will De recollected that, after the rule had been made absolute fur a new trial, Sir James Scar lett obtained a rule nisi, calling un the detendants to show cause why the trial bhuu Id nut take place at the sittings after the present term. Air. PoLLocK to-day showed cause and contended that there was no reason why the defendants should be com pilled to be tried out of the usual c.iuree, particularly when it wail recollected that the nsw trial was only granted last Thursday, and the period for giving notice of trial ex pired the day be fore. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said if the Court had known that, they would have imp..sed terms on the parties as a condition to granting the rule. Sir JAMES SCARLETT said his reason was that the pro secutor was a poor man, and it was thought that Lord Teynham would have b,en gl id to have taken the earliest opportunity of reliving his mind from a burl, n which, to say the least, must be exceedingly disagreeable to him. Mr. POLLOCK observed that he had affidavits to show that there were at least three material witnesses for the defendants absent who would prove that Lord Teynham was in the country when he was sworn to have been in London ; one was abroad, and another (Sir W. Brabazon) was in Ireland. The COURT thought that sufficient had been stated to prevent the cause hum being taken out of its turn. 'The rule was then discharged. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no arrivals of any consequence up to the pre. sent hour; consequently, we are destitute of information. We hear that the departure of AI.

The gallery was opened at a quarter past 12 o'clock, at which time we found about forty Members in the Ho use. SIR THOMAS TROUBRIDGE. Sir J. GRAHAM rose to address the House. Mr. COBBE CT objected to the Hon. Member speaking on the adjourned debate, on a point of order. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said_ be thought it was incum bent on him to state to the House, before it came to any decision on the subject, that he was in possession of cer tain fact., from an official source, which would entirely set aside the allegations of those who had signed the peti tion brought into the House by the Hon. Member for Oldham, upon the faith of whose assertions that Hon. Memb er had principally rested his case.—( Hear.) Mr. COBBETT—The Hon. Member had certainly seconded the adjournment of the debate, but be thought that he should first wait to see if any other Hon. Member intended to speak on the question. The SPEAKER—The Hon. Member for Oldham was not a very old Member of that House, and therefore not very conversant with 'the practice of that House.— (Hear, hear, hear.) If the Honourable Member who wished to address the House, did so with the intention of communicating to the House information de rived from official documents, which would controvert any previous statement made to the House, that Hon. Gentleman bad an undoubted right to make such a state ment before the House could be called upon to decide the question before it. Sir J. GRAHAM said the first name to the petition was that of Capt. Owen. What he was about to state was from official documents which were lodged at the Admiralty. On investigating them, he found that Capt. Owen received his promotion in 1794, file certificate then stating him to be 22 years of age. In 1822, the Admi ralty issued circulars requiring every officer to send in a return of the age he was at that time. He found on looking at Captain Owen's return that he stated himself to be 47 years and 6 months ; now this would make him to have received his promotion at the age of 191-, in place of 22 years of age, as his certificate stated, so that one or both of the statements must be incorrect.—( Hear.) He further found that in 1795, while acting as Lieutenant with Captain Stanhope, he brought that officer before a courtmartial upon a variety of charges—the principal of which was far fraudulent conduct in the management o' the slops and unofficer-like conduct. The Court were of opinion, upon consideration of all the charges, that they were frivolous, inalicious—(Cheering)—and per fectly unsupported, and tended much to subvert the discipline of the navy.—(Hear, hear.) The Captain, therefore, was most honourably acquitted. Captain Owen was after wards at the instance of Captain Elphinstone, brought before a courtmartial for behaving to Captain Stanhope i❑ a most insulting manner, as well as to him (Captain Elphinstone), for sleeping on his watch, and for behaving riotously and in a most unofficer-like manner. The Court found him guilty of the first and last charges, and partly guilty of the others.—(Great cheering.) Captain Owen was sentenced to be dismissed—(Hear, hear)—from the service. Upon an investigation of the manner in which he had been restored, he found that great irregularity had taken place. The law, as it then stood, was, that no officer who had been dismissed from the service could be restored without an order by the King in Council. Now he found that that had not been com• plied with—the order for his restoration being signed by a single Lord of the Admiralty.—(Hear, hear.) He might be allowed to ask, whether he hail much right to complain of any irregularity ?—(Hear, hear, hear.) The other who had signed the petition, he found, was a Mr. Edward Edwards. Now, be found, on looking over the official documents, that he was a midshipman in 1814, and on the sth of January was tried before a court martial for behaving in an insulting manner to his C Iptain and for riotous conduct. Of those charges lie was found guilty—(Hear, bear)—and sentenced to be dismissed, and rendered for ever incapable of being promoted in his Majesty's service. —(Great cheering.) Sir E. CODRINGTON said he would second the motion to reject the petition, conceiving that the object of the petitioners would injure rather than benefit the service. He could give his testimony to the great advan tage which had been derived from the irregularity com plained of. He admired the address which had been made by the Right Hon. Baronet, particularly that por tion of it which stated what was due to the son of such an officer as the late Sir Thomas Troubridge ; for if ever reward was due to the generation of any man, it was to the generation of that gallant man.—(Hear, hear.) He had the honour of serving under him, and could bear testimony to his worth ; but when the House considered who were the people who brought such charges as the present, lie thought they could only come to one conclusion. As to the aspersions against two such men as Captain Baker and Sir James Yeo, the country would do them justice. Even the Americans did ample justice to the bravery of Captain Baker, whose ship was captured by an accident to which all officers were liable; his mizen-mast being cus away, his ship was placed in such a position at to be exposed to the raking of the enemy ; but the Americans bad borne testimony to the Captain's bravery. As to the regulation which had been broken, it was no doubt originally made to be adhered to, and to prevent early promotions; but the House should recollect that sometimes in a period of war there was a great de .rth of officers. He knew of a case in which so great was that dearth that a purser was employed in keeping watch and in cutting out vessels.—( Hear.) The House should preserve some recollection of what officers the country had had, and of the services they had rendered. He again begged to express his admiration of tie conduct of the Hon. and Gallant Officer (Sir T. Troubridge), and also of numbers of other officers who were his t Sir E. Codrington's) superiors, and again declared that the country had derived great benefit by the irregularity which was complained of. The regulation certainly was, that no person should be a lieutenant under twenty years of age ; that he should first serve six years at sea (and six years at sea was a pretty good servitude) ; he was then to serve two years before he could be a commander, and another year before he could be posted, so that by the regulation an officer could not be a post-captain before he was twenty-three years of age. But if a war broke out and they got rid of officers as they had been doing for some time past, they would be obliged to get rid of the regulation altogether. Captain YORKE also supported the motion for the rejection of the petition un two grounds; the technical allegations of the petition were undoubtedly true, and the petition was respectfully worded ; but at the end of it a Gallant Officer, and a Member of that House, was charged virtually with felony, although there was nothing in the body of the petition to support ruck a charge ; secondly, . . the grievance complained of in the petition had been long a4o remedied, and therefore there was nothing in the petition to grant. He thought the Hon. Member for Oldham (Mr. Cobbetr) if he had refrained from bringing forward such sweeping charges would have shown better taste than he bad ever yet shown in that Hou,e. The charges he had made against Captain Baker were most unfounded, as ev , ry person at all acquainted with that Gallant Offic-r were perfectly aware. Sir H. VIVIAN said that, as a member of the service, . _ he felt called upon to say a few words. lie felt sorry to see a petition like the present brought forward to the no• rice of the House. by an lion. Member who set himself up as a pattern of everything that was pure and correct. - - (Laughter.) He would undertake to say that no Gentleman, besides thc Hon. Member, out of the 658 Gentlemen sitting in that Hou ,, , would have any other opinion with respect to this petition, than that it should be kicked out of the House. It was a most gross libel not only on the living but the dead. Now, the Hon. Member had said yesterday that the malpractices he had complained of had been the result of improper manace ment. He had had the curiosity of looking into the works of that Hon. Member, and by those he foural that the Hon. Member had but lately imbibed those sentiments. He should move as an amendment, that the petition should be rejected, as frivolous and vexatious.—(Hear.) Mr. COBI3ETT said that after the severe shots that had been aimed against him, he felt called upon not only to say something in his own defence, but of that also of the petition. Nobody denied the existence of these mal practices—nobody denied the technicAl correctness of the statetnents of the petition ; indeed, the Right Hon. Ba ronet bad admitted it, and had brought forward instances of the promotion of naval officers proving it---( Hear) --showing promotions and violation of the law.—(liear, and cries of " No, no.") Well then, it was a neglect of duty on the pat of the Lords of the Admiralty— (Hear, hear, hear)--and that was set up as a defence of the course pursued towards the Gallant Member against whom the petition had been presented. Why, if the present Lord Chancellor was charged with bribery—a thing that, in his opinion, was not at all likely to take place—would he he allowed to say, in extenuation of that offence, that such a line of conduct had been practised by the great and learned philosopher Lord Bacon ? Such a defence at the present day would be ridiculed and laughed at. When he presented the petition yesterday, he had stated that he would not take upon himself to vouch for the accuracy of all its state meats, but that be believed them to be true. He did not fn, an to say it was proper on the part of any petitioner To apply such harsh ternas—(Hear)—but when an Hon. Member had such a petition put into his hand, what was he to do with it—must he either refuse to present it, or be answerable for every word it contained?—(Hear.) Since Parliament had met the House had been told by a Member of the Petition Committee, that a petitioner had no right to leave his petition to the House, and no right to have it printed. If, in addition to this, no petition was to be presented containing any words which the Member who presented it would not be answerable for, there would soon be an end to the presentation of petitions altogether.—(Heir, hear.) The orders in Council had all been flagrantly violated by that to which the present petitioners referred. It had been said by the Hon. Baronet opposite that there was a scarcity of lieutenants and officers at that period, but he (Mr. C.) would refer to the papers then laid before the House to see in what that scarcity consis'ed. The return was made in 1825,—purported to be a return of the midshipmen and mates (the persons out of whom lieutenants were made) who had passed their examinations, and had net been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in each year from 1804 to that time. This return, then, of course, went back to 1806, the period at which the Honourable Baronet, the Mem ber for Sandwich, was made a Lieutenant of. What bad the country then to pay? Why, it had to pay for 2,608 lieutenants, 1,488 of whom only were in ser vice, leaving, therefore, 1,120 more than the service required, but which th,: country, notwithstanding, had to pay for.—(Hear, hear.) It was imperative to take this return to he true, because it came out of the Hon. Baronet's own office.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Hon. Baronet was promoted to the rank of lieutenant— no doubt on account of the scarcity of lie utenants— (Hear, hear)—at a time when many midshipmen and mates, who bad produced their certificates, and passed their examinations, were left without promotion. He (Mr. Cobbett) would now like to put a question to the Hon. Biron,t. He (Mr Cobbeft) gave a list of names to the Honourable' Baronet, and asked him if he would have any objection to have those names printed and laid on the table of the House, among which were the names of the Lords of the Admiralty. The Hon. Baronet replied, that at that time the frauds were notorious ; and as those things were not practised now, it would be for him (Mr. C.) to consider whether it would be fit that he should now move for that which would show up those officers in the way that such a proceeding would do ? The Hon. Member had considered this, and had deter. mined merely to pre ,. ent this petition, and there let it rest, but he could not do so now. The Hon. Baront added that at that time there was a man at Somerset House, whose business it was to forge, to fabricate, and— Sir JAMES GRAHAM—Not to forge; I did not say to forge. Mr. COBBETT said it might be that the word " forge" had not been used, but certainly to make up and to fabricate certificates, for the purpose of getting naval officers and men promoted, &c. But did the Hon. Baronet not know that that very man had b en tried for that c,nduct, had been found guilty, put into the pil lory, whipped, and punished severely for it?—(Hear.) Had not also every pensioner who had got into Greenwich Hospital through his instrumentality been turned out of that hospital? ad he not know also that every man who had received a pension through his means had had that pension withdrawn ? But could the Hun. Member say that a single officer (and many there had been) who bad been promoted through that inm's inter ference, fabricated certificates and workings, been broken or brought back to the rank he bad held before ? Not one; and this was what animated him (Mr. C.) on the present occasion. —(Hear, hear, hear.) It was the diff,lrence of conduct that was shown to men to that which was shown to officers.—(Hear, heir.) Many a man and many a woman had been punished severely for forging certificates even of their births; the men to which he had alluded bad been punished in the way he had stated, but the officers who had risen by these malpractices bad been suffered to benefit by them, and thereby rendering justice a mockery—(Hear.) He objected to the motion for rejecting the petition, be cause it was not founded upon the assumption that the allegations it contained were false; and it would be there fore like flinging it back in the faces of the peo ple.—(Loud and continued laughter.) If the House laid it down as a law that Hon. Members should be held re. spon , ible for the contents of every petition that was pre sented, it would go eventually to the exclusion of the privilege of petitioning altogether.—(Hear.) He again expres•ed his decided objection to the rejection of the petition. Mr. D. W. HARVEY did not, he said, see the same objections to the presentation of such a petition as had been made, because it not unirequently happened that individuals suffered under a secret and undefined im putation, of much greater amount than they could possibly endure by the bringing forward of a charge in such a way as to give full opportunity to have it rebutted. —( Hear ) Looking at the circumstances in this point of view, he could not but congratulate the Hon. and Gallant Officer on the opportunity which had been afforded to hint to negative the charges which had been brought against him.—( Hear, hear.) Had he (Mr. Harvey) been asked out of that House if he knew a Gallant Officer, who was a Member of the House, and (the Gallant Officer having been mentioned by name) that he was charged with having committed a forgery, he could not have avoided feeling a prejudice against the gallant officer, which such a discussion as the present could not fail to have removed.—(Hear.) But be thought it harsh and most unjust that any sentiment should be entertained towards the Hon. Member who had presented the petition, after the discussion was concluded, other than that that was entertained towards the Hon. and Gallant Officer..—(Hear, hear.) And it should be borne in mind that such Members of that House who were supposed, like the Hon. Member for Oldham, to represent particu. larly, but not exclusively, those classes whose employment was of &subordinate description—(Hear)—that such Hun. Members should have some allowances made to them for being called upon to present petitions from such parties. —(Hear, hear.) The discussion would also have the effect of stowing that, although such practices as those alluded to had formerly existed to a considerable extent, yet that the Admiralty was found to have discountenanced the practice of many years, and that it was now discontinued.—(Hear, hear.) Whilst he differed from the opinion that no attention should be paid to the statements of those whose characters did not stand clear of taint, he could not subscribe to the doc trine that the evidence of any man should be received with out some degree of suspicion, who had himself been guilty of that which he charged against another, and yet came for ward as a specimen of individual purity iu his own character. —(Hear.) And, without mixing up the Hon. and Gallant Member in the assumption, which he (Mr. Harvey) intended to be only general in its application, if it happened that any individual bad, at an early period of his lifetime, committed himself in such a manner as had been described, he thought it was too much to say that no reference should be made to the subsequent conduct of that inoividual, to his fats of bravery, and noble bearing against the enemies of his country—(Cheers)—and especially when that individual had received the stamp of public approbation, by being returned the representative of a free constituency. Captain ELLIOTT was sorry to trouble the House at that late hour, but he had a duty to perform, both on his own account and on that of his brother officers. He would at once state that the plan complained of was a necessary one, for there were no other means to be found for obtaining a proper supply of officers at the time. He had lo• ked a little into the suject since it had been brought before the House, and he found that in the six years previous to 1800 there had been 900 appointments to the rank of Lieutenant, and he further found that so great was the drain upon that rank, that at the end of six years, it had only added 200 to the nnmber of such officers—he further found that during the first four of those six years 900 had been appointed, out of which there were only nine names that could be at all traced to be at all connected with the Aristocracy.—(Hear, hear.) So much for the statements of the Hon. Member for 0 dham, that the system was for the exclusive benefit of the higher classes. So very great was the dearth of officers, that in many instances commanders were obliged to take common seamen from before the mast. In a ship in which he was serving, five seamen were promoted to the rank of officers, only one of whom did well ; the rest be haved so badly that his Captain frequently said, " Give me boys, rather than drive me to the necessity of taking men from before the mast, however well behaved in that situation. He would defy the Hon. Member for Oldham, or any other Member, to produce one single in stance of a ship being lost, or any other casualty that bad happened in consequence of the officer in command not being eligible on account of age ; therefore that Hon. Member ought not either in justice or candour to make use of such unfounded statements.—(Hear, hear.) As for the cruel and uncalled for, as well as untrue statement in reference to his (Captain E's) Gallant Friend, Captain Baker, he would only say that he bad served 6 years as Post-Captain before he had the misfortune to be captured. In 1806 the new regulations were promulgated, and they were twat strictly carried into effect, as proved by themselves. The Gallant Officer here read from the regulations a clause which stated that if any officer „was promoted by y fain entitles* he gosh,. whatever rank he mixt e I & attained to, instantly on its be ng toun t out. he dismissed and rendered incapable of ever again serving is Majesty. Therefore he considered that it was 'sof tr the Hon. Member to take cases that occurred before -e regulations came into effect. He had no hesitation in stating that he was one of those who were raised in such a manner, and he was not ashamed to own it, as he MAI aware that no other plait was possible to recruit the ser vice, except by taking common seamen. As a Mem ber of that House, and as an officer, he complained of the conduct of the Hon. Member for Oldham ; he was justified in calling these statements most unjust and •oul charges. That was not the first time the Hon. Member had indulged in such a course. When the civil retirements were before the House, he stated that an officer of high rank in one of the dock-yards was dis placed in the vigour of life, in order to make way for the brother of a Cabinet Minister. Of course the House na turally concluded that the case was a recent one, and he and some other Honourable Members called out for the name.—(Hear.) Then what was the surprise of the House, when they found that the Honourable Member had to go back 27 years for his instance, which was, that Sir Charles Saxton had been displaced to make way for the late Sir George Grey ? Now the facts of that case were these—Sir G.Grey,theibrother of aCabinet Minister now, was appointed to the situation in May, 1804, and Sir C. Saxton applied to the Admiralty in July, 1806, to be superannuated on account of incompetency, age and infirmities, having served his Majesty sixty-one years, and being at the time seventy-six years of age. This was the man who, according to the candid stste merits of the Hon. Member, was in the full vigour of life.—(Laughter.) He trusted that when the Hon. Member arrived at that age, he would live longer to enjoy his vigour than did that Hon. Baronet, for he died of old age in leas than twelve months after. The successor to Sir C. Saxton, was a gentleman who pos sessed no family influence and no interest, excepting that to which, by his merits as an officer, he was entitled,--lie meant Captain Locke. The Hon. Member for Oldham must have gone greatly out of his way for an instance, in order to throw a slur onithe characters of t wo gallantofficers, and also for the purpose of attacking a Nobleman now at the bead of the Government, who was far above the cen sure of that Hoo. Member.—(Hear.) He hoped the House would endeavour to put a stop to such a practice as permitting the freedom of debate to extend to an attack upo❑ the character of individuate. Sir R. INGLIS (amidst cries of " Question") said that the Hon. Member for Oldham appeared to think that any petition, which was respectfully worded, ought to be laid on the table of the House. He (Sir R. Inglis) however contended, that although the language might be respectful to the House, an Hon. Member should use his discretion in not giving his sanction to any unfounded charge against an individual.—(Hear, hear.) Here the Hon. Member bad come forward and m de a charge, if not of felony, at least of fraud, against an Hon. and Gallant Officer, although he admitted that he knew nothing of the facts of the case.--(Hear, h•ar.) The Hon. Member had asked what would become of the right of petition if the present petition were rejected ? The right of petition certainly had not been much interfered with this session at least, for more peti tions had been presented this session than at any previous one. Nearly 10,000 had been presented, and as for their quality at no former period had greater licence been allowed. The House had, however, exercised a 'mood discretion in deputing to a Committee the examination of those petitions, so that nothing should be published that contained matter offensive to any party. As to the attack on Captain Baker, he would just read the position in which that Gallant Officer's vessel was placed.—(Here the Hon. Baronet read an extract to show the crippled condition of the vessel.) He would ask, after this, whe ther Captain Baker sacrifice his ship ?—(Cheers.) He should support the proposition to reject the petition. Colonel EVANS suggested to the Hon. Member for Oldham to withdraw the petition.—(Cries of " No, no ! ') The Right Hon. Bart. (Sir James Graham) had unneces sarily evinced a degree of soreness at the attack on an officer in the service, for he (Colonel Evans) thought that, so far :mom an officer's reputation being injured by such a dis cussion, it would be benefited. That was his opinion, as a general principle. As to the Hon. and Gallant Officer (Sir Thomas Troubridge), he admired his conduct, having had the honour of serving with him during the war.—(Hear)—and be also thought that gal lant officer entitled to some regard from the high merits of his father.—(Hear.) The cause, however, of his ad. dressing the House was in consequence of having bten requested by some of his constituents to do so.—( H e ar.) The Right Hon. Baronet had alluded to the promotion of boys in the navy ; he did not mean to complain of that, but he could assure him that in the army promotions highly culpable bad taken place.—(Hear, bear, hear.) He did not make this observation with regard to himself, but as it related to brother officers, who had had young men placed over them after most ardu ous duty on their part. In conclusion the Gallant Colonel earnestly recommended the Hon. Member for Oldham to withdraw the petition. Mr. ROEBUCK defended the conduct of the Hon. Member for Oldham in presenting the petition, and denied the responsibility of Hon. Members for the statements in the petitions they presented. He trusted the House would pause before it rejected the petition. Sir M. W. RIDLEY rose amid loud cries of " Question." The subject at present under discussion was of too vital importance to allow him to be put down by cries of question.—(Hear, hear.) The Honourable Member for Bath, after he bad been a little longer a Member of that House, would find that Honourable Members were answerable for the statements in the petitions which they presented, more especially when they cast such calumnies as the present did upon the character of individuals.—(Hear, hear.) He admitted that the repre sentatives of the people were in duty bound to present their petitions to that House, but at the same time it was their duty to take care that they were not the means of conveying calumny and slander. For the present petition, such was the calumnies and slanders that it con tained that he should have no hesitation in throwing it upon the floor, and trampling upon it. With respect to the present petition, and with respect to the statement in a little work called the " Ten Cardinal Virtues," he would recommend the Hon. Member to exercise a little more public consistency, and pay a little more attention to such subjects, before he brought charges against men in that House who stood far above him in every station of life.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. RUTHVEN said this was an unfortunate question, and he, seeking permission to express his opinions in the midst of the cries he heard of question, question, he only desirad to have that courtesy shown to him which he was desirious on all occasions of acceding to others. He was as much indisposed as any man to re. ceive petitions that could not be duly presented to the House, and he objected to the reception of the present petition, because it contained unbecoming language towards the Gallant Officer opposite.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. R.) did not believe the statements made in the petition. Admiral FLEMING endeavoured to explain away some of the statements made by Blr. Cobbett, as regarded the number of Lieutenants out of service when hi Honourable Friend was appointed to the Lieutenancy -3 / 4 The Honourable Baronet was appointed on the E at India station during the war, and he (the Gallant Admiral) had often, even in time of peace, on the east and western coasts, been io great want of officer.. Strangers were now ordered to withdraw. When we got into the gallery again, we found that rather a curious scene had taken place. When Mr. Speaker put the question that the petition should be received, and re quested that the ayes should go below the bar, even Mr. Cubbett would u.,t leave his place, so that in point of fact no division took place. Sir R. DONKIN presented a petition from the inha bitants of Berwick-apon-Tweed, praying for the entire abolition of slavery, in the prayer of which the Hon. Member entirely concurred. Mr. POTTER presented petitions from Manchester against the house and window taxes and the highway duty. Mr. G. BERKELEY presented two petitions against the Beer Bill, and one from the 1204ators con fined in the Gloucester County Goal, complaining of certain grievances which the petitioners alleged to have been laid before the High Sheriff, who had not attended to them. The Hon. Member eulogised the character of the High Sheriff, and begged to be understood as not answer in for the truth of th e st a t ement o f t h e pet i t i ons . ' Mr. PEASE presented petitions from Bishops Audley and another place against the registration of De.ds Bill; and from a Dissenting Minister in the city of Dublin against oaths. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented several petitions against slavery ; and one from Waltham, praying for a repeal of the Beer Bill. Mr. INGHAM rose to present a petition ; but an H on . Member moved that the House should be counte I, tnd there being but 27 Members present, the Hour; vi sta adjourned at a quarter pad two o'clock. FORFAR.—lnfluenza is raging here to a great extent.

In answer to an article in a Morning Paper asserting the recall of M. Ded.el, we may venture to state, upon good authority, that such is nit the case. The Orange party in the Dutch Cabinet were certainly upon the alert upon the arrival of the account from London that Ministers had been defeated in the House of Lords, and prevailed upon the King to recall M. Dedel ; but since then the majority in the House of Commons has shown them their error, and the departure of M. Ded.l has therefore been postponed frotn last Tuesday to the next Tuesday, if he goes at all, and then it will be only for a fortnight. The answer which the King of Holland has just received from the three Powers, and particularly from Prussia, must decide him, for his own interest, to settle friendly his differences with Belizium.

A paragraph has been inserted, within these few days, in some of the London papers, eulogising the merits of a work of fiction, called " Delaware," in whick the bookseller is complimented at the expense of our worthy publisher, Mr. BENTLEY.

We are certain that Mr. CADELL, of Edinburgh, is too honourable a man to countenance any aft rek, however covertly designed, against his brother publishers of London ; and Mr. BENTLEY, to whose enterprise and liberality the public is so much indebted, is the last gentlema❑ to merit any such remark as the paragraph in question would seem to insinuate.
