TO CORRESPONDENTS. If Mr. Bruce desires to insert more statements in The Sun, he must pay for them as advertisements. We have already inserted one of his letters. etc ,mok • tilt ~- ~" LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1833. We have just received a communication from our Falmouth correspondent, by vdiich it will be seen that Marshal BOURMONT had made an unsuccessful attack on Oporto, and was about to renew the assault. The Lisbon papers, which also will be found below, contain much exaggerated information, respecting the recent transactions in that quarter. (FROM OUR. CORRESPONDENT.) FALMOUTH, TUESDAY, JULY 30, TWO A.M. His Majesty's steamer African has just arrived from Lisbon and Oporto, and brings intelligence that she arrived at the latter place on the 24th, and was detained for the purpose of bringing intelligence of the result of the attac attack k which was expected an t he following day, which co mmenced accordingly at day-break, and was continued with great vigour up till twelve o'clock, when M tshal Bourmont finding the defence stronger than he antics • pated, drew off his forces, with the view, it was supposed, of making fresh arrangements for renewing the bomb ird ment. The Pedroites nobly sustained the contest against superior and well-directed troops. At every point thy met the assailants with unflinching bravery; no where craild their opponents succeed against them, and great was the slaughter on both sides. No doubt was entertained of the recommencement of the attack on the following day. The Royalist had sailed two days previ , usly to the African, with the mails on board, consequently the latter vessel has brought very few letters. From Lisbon I learn that St. Dies had declared for Donna Maria, and that Rear-Admiral, the Viscount of Cape St. Vincent, had arrived off the Tagus, where he was lying at anchor, and had not, up to the time of the sailing of the African, made any movement with the view of entering the river, although it was understood that the greater portion of :Miguel's troops had left Lisbon to oppose the progress of the Duke of Terceira towards the city. It was not, however, known at Lisbon, what progress he had made towards that place, but reports prevailed that the cause of Donna Maria was proceeding favourably throughout the south of Portugal, which may be inferred from the decla ration of the inhabitants of St. Übes in her favour. In the north it does not appear that any demonstration has yet taken place in favour of the Constitutionalists, but should Don Miguel be compelled to withdraw from before Oporto, there is no doubt that a favourable movement would be the immediate consequence. LISBON, JULY 21.—His Majesty's Government has to-day received official despatches from Quinta da Pedra, which an nounce that his Majesty happily continues to enjoy good health. The rebels, implacable enemies to the tranquillity of their kingdoms, of its, independence, and its glory, having brought into them devastation, war, and pestilence—in a word, all the scourges that afflict humanity, attacking their kingdoms in a crusade, which in its essence and elements is without a prece dent in the history of civilized nations, having experienced a resistance on the part of the nation as heroic as brave, finding themselves (though more than twenty thousand foreigners have joined in their nefarious projects), obliged to confine themselves within the walls of one city, where they have been besieged for snore than a year, during which all the sympathies and all the support, moral and substantial, given them by the revolutionists of Europe, have been unable to place them in a situation to obtain the smallest triumph over the Portuguese nation, which, during that long period, has given new proofs that it will not suffer itself to be subjugated, nor consent that its religion, its fundamental laws and institutions, and its Monarch, should be attacked with impunity by Foreign vagabonds and adventurers from all countries ; they resolved to organize in a foreign country another expedition, to attack another part of the territory, there to pursue the same system of devastation and rapine. This second expedition was one of the most rash attempts that the rebels have made. It was prepared with a previous combination of a raising of Guerillas, of infamous wretches, in different parts of the kingdom ; and, according to their custom of dividing the world, and making a jest of Europe, they pro_ mised they should be attended by the sympathy 21stf the people. The Expedition accordingly left Oporto on the oflast month, and proceeded to Algarves, where it arrived on the 24th, The General of the Fifth Division was at that moment with a very small force, and that divided in many and various points of that province, and at s'...ch distances, that it was im possible to hinder a landing in force, protected by men-of-war. On the 24th, the expedition of the rebels approached the shore of Costella, and, under the protection of their squadron, effected the landing of 2,500 men on that undefended coast ; two small forts there, which were garrisoned by a few artillerymen, and some Royalist volunteers, kept up a con siderable fire on them, and even succeeded in sinking two boats with troops of the rebels ; but it being i m possible to succour them, they spiked the guns, and retreated into the Serra d . The rebels then proceeded to Tavira where they were oppose to commit similar excesses. On the 25th the Governor of Abrantes ordered 300 men to march to annihilate them, and his Majesty's Government re ceived on the 27th intelligence that tranquillity was restord at Thomar, and that the Corregido, who had gone to assemble the militia, had resumed his authority, the inhabitants of all the country manifesting the greatest loyalty to the King our Sovereign. The country people were everywhere taking the prisoners whom they had released, and at the same time a body of cavalry, infantry, and militia marched from Coimbra in pursuit of them. Being thus pursued, these wretches were obliged to pass the Tagus, and on the 27th they attacked the little town of Chamusca, where they committed similar ex cesses; thence they proceeded to Almeirim, Arviz, Ervedal, Franteira, Souzel, Cabeco de Vide, Portalegre, and some other small places, where having plundered the public coffers, and the houses of individuals, they caused acts of rebellion to be drawn up, supported by force and the terror which they inspired in the people who remained tranquil. But as soon as these adventurers left the places which they had invaded, the people tore to pieces the revolutionary acts, and renewed their ac knowledgment of the ligitimate government of the King our Sovereign, and their protestations of allegiance to his august person, all which they did spontaneously and with every ma nifestation of joy, and of hatred and indignation towards the band of rebels that had attacked them. Being thus pursued in all directions, they were obliged to fly from Portalegre on the Bth, where Brigadier-General Raymundo Jon Pinheiro entered that place with his troops, and taking the road of Marvao, they entered Valenca d'Alcantara, in Spain, where they were disarmed. On their whole retreat they were continually pur sued by the people, and the royalist guerillas who voluntarily assembled in great numbers, and having killed many of these robbers, took others, whom they delivered up to the authorities. A great number have been shot at Portalegre. Every day the inhabitants take some of them, who had concealed themselves. Such is the peace, such is the prosperity which the enemies of the nation bring to Portugal. They repeat in Algarves and Alemtejo the same predatory incursions as they did in the pro vince of blinho, when they entered Oporto a year ago. The excellent military force of the faithful brave army of the King our Sovereign, already assembled in the city of Beja, which now forms the sth division, is on the point of taking offensive measures against the rebels, speedily to deliver the brave population of Algarves from the terrible invasion of the rebels—a population, among whom the first cry of inde pendence was raised with heroic bravery at the time of the French invasion of 1808, who first proclaimed the King our Sovereign in 1826, when those who now invade them held them in subjection—who, lastly, in 1828, when the rebels rose in Oporto, and in the kingdom of Algarves itself, defeated, pur sued, and killed them, with their accustomed valour, intrepi. dity, and resolution. Commis, JULY 16.—a letter from Rio Santo of the 14th says, " General Count Bourmont has been engaged since his arrival in examining the enemy's works and ours, as well on the North as the south side." A letter from the battery of Don Miguel I. of the same date says, " Yesterday we had the pleasure of seeing the conqueror of Algiers. He went to observe on this side all the city of Oporto, and principal points that command it; he had with him two of his sons and other officers. The whole army is delighted at the arrival of this distinguished general.—Correio do Porto. His Majesty, in a letter dated the 14th of July from the Palace of Leca de Balio to Count Bourmont, thanks him foe having accepted his invitation to enter his service, and appoints him Marshal of the Royal Armies, and Chief of his Majesty's Staff'. A decree of the same date contains the nomination of Mar. shal Bourmont, and the discharge of the Conde de Barbacena from the post of Chief of his Majesty's Staff, he still retain ing the office ad interim of Minister of War. Another decree, in consideration of the valour and military talents of the Conde de Barbacena, promotes him to the rank of Marshal of the Royal Armies, with all the prerogatives and advantages attached to that rank. On account of the calamitous epidemic which has at tacked the city of Lisbon and other parts of the kingdom, the Senate of Lisbon has proposed (and this proposal has been approved by his Majesty) to make a solemn penitential proces. sion to the miraculous image of the Virgin called of the Rock. I —Lisbon Gazette, July 22. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY figured again last night in the House of Lords, on the subject of Portuguese affairs. It was a great treat to see this pugnacious Peer laying lustily about him on all sides, and even bespattering a certain Royal Duke with filth and dirt picked up from the Tory dung-heap. As usual, how ever, he was worsted in the skirmish. His Royal Highness retorted with temper and dignity— but in a spirit which left his antagonist no resource but silence. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM was (considering his circum ference), singularly testy and sensitive. Had he even been as " lean as CAPros," he could not have displayed more waspishness. It is not often that men, weighing upwards of twenty stone , are thus overpowered by their sensibilities. Wh o could fancy Falstaff' splenetic ? After a brief discussion, the Gallant Marquis's motion was withdrawn. Earl GREY then moved the third reading of the Irish Church Temporalities Bill, which was carried by a majori'y of 54—the numbers for it being 135 ; against it, 81. Up to two o'clock this afternoon, no further accounts from Portugal had been received at the Portuguese Embassy. We may therefore assume that, up to the 24th inst., nothing of importance had transpired, either in favour of or against the cause of Donna MARIA. Many persons, who mistake the character of Admiral NAPIER, and imagine that he is as rash as he is courageous, ex ' press surprise that he did not attempt to force the passage of the Tagus immediately after the cap ture of the Miguelite fleet. We have a better opinion, however, of this gallant sailor, than to believe that he will hazard his reputation and the safety of the Constitutional cause by any act of imprudent impetuosity, whilst there is a prospect of success by tardier means, without the risk of discomfiture. In his attack upon the fleet, pe rilous as it was, he was nevertheless influenced by prudential considerations, because he knew that the only way of defeating or capturing it was by a coup de main, the relative forces rot the combatants being too disproportionate, a s had been shown by SARTORIUS, who did all that a brave man could do, short of su ch a mode of attack, for any other species of combat. An attack upon Lisbon, however, is a dif ferent affair. The Tagus is protected by forts which, although not in the best possible state, are sufficiently strong, if garrisoned by faithful and determined troops, to o ppose a vigorous resistance ; and it is therefore important that the admiral should be seconded either by a land demonstration on the part of the con stitutionalists under VILLA FLOR, or by a rising of the inhabitants. His fleet, if even in a better condition, and more fully man ned than it is, ought not to be unnecessarily e x p osed ; and he mus t have known that if only half the energy displayed by him in his rencontre with the fleet were to be shown by VILLA FLOR, that officer could not be long in bringing his forces i n t o t h e i mm ediate vicinity of the capital, and thus affording a point d'appui to the inha bitants. The situation of Oporto, menaced by The second reading of the Bank Charter Bii stands for to-night. Some weeks ago we ex pressed our .apprehension that this Bill, crude and ill-considered as it is, would pass in the present session. The repeated postponements to which it has been subject have begun to re vive our old hopes, that further consideration would be bestowed upon a measure which so vitally affects the interests of the people. Mr. POULETT SCROPE, whose near relationship to one of his Majesty's Ministers has, once or twice we think we have observed, induced him to support them, when what we should have thought a proper following out of his principles would have thrown him into opposition, and who, we hence conclude, would not gratuitously do anything very disagreeable to them, has given notice that he shall move as an amendment to the second reading of the Bill these words : " That considering the present advanced period of the session; and the number of other measures more urgently demanding the immediate decision of Parliament, —considering, likewise, that the present Charter of the Bank of England renews itself from year to year, so that if no notice be served upon the Bank before the Ist day of August next, the existing Charter will necessarily be in force up to the Ist of August, 1835, or, for two entire years from the present time,—it is the opinio.i of this House, that no no ice as to the termination of the Charter should be served upon the Bank before the Ist of August next ; and that the further consideration or the Bank Charter Bill be postponed to the next ses sion." From the peculiar position in which Mr. SCROPE is placed, we have hopes, we say, that this motion will not be very disagreeable to Lord ALTHORP ; and that if the House ex presses its opinion in a marked manner in favour of it, he will yield a coy assent. Supposing, however, that he should persevere in pressing the second reading of the Bill, we have no hesi tation in saying, that it is so contrary to princi ple that the most strenuous exertions ought to be made to defeat it. Such a Bill can admit of no effectual amendment. What does it in plain English amount to ? TO placing the command of the circulation of the country at the mercy of a private Corporation, whose interest is to make as much out of their monopoly as they can. They have hitherto done so, at an immense sacrifice of the public interest. If the motive be continued to them, and the power be continued to them, is it too much to suppose that the one will operate upon the other in the same way it has done before ? Indeed the motive to abuse their trust and the power to abuse it being increased, the only difference we can expect between the past and future is that the future will witness effects ten times more direful than even those which have already been occasioned by the existence of the Bank monopoly. With the experience we have of the safety resulting from competition in Scotland, and with the experience we have of the restrictive system in England, it is wonderful that any man should think of ex tending the latter. We know Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord ALTHORP say that the Scotch system owes its safety to the existence of the reserve of gold in England, and the know: ledge possessed by the people of that country, that their bankers could come upon that reserve. AF all the bullionists in the House cheered this sentiment when it was uttered, it may be worth while to show its fallacy. It is an admitted fact, that the Scotch bankers have never experienced a panic ; that amidst the greatest public disasters, their credit has been unimpaired ; that even in the midst of rebellions their notes retained public confidence, and never came pouring in upon them, as is the case in England upon a mere rumour of a shock or failure in a neigh bouring country. This could not be in conse quence of the confidence felt in the reserve of gold kept in England, for on such occasions that reserve has been found insufficient to meet the native demand. To talk of the Scotch looking up to the Bank of England with con fidence, when it has notoriously been making enormous exertions to maintain its own credit, would be ludicrous were not the consequences of error so serious. Why should we make the Scotch lean upon a reed when they have a staff in their hands? The Scotch know that their banks are supported by the unlimited responsibility of two or three hundred men of property, per haps a thousand or two. The property of a country, its land alone, is surely a sufficient cause of confidence in the notes for which it is an swerable, without making it necessary to seek that confidence in a quarter which has proved itself unworthy of it. In short, the position of Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord ALTHORP will not hold for a moment, and the great principle of competition must, and always will, remain unassailable. Thus much for the main point of the circulation, which concerns every man equally ; but there is another which concerns the inhabitants of the metropolis especially,—we mean that of the number of par hi banks of deposit in London. The City article of this morning's Times contains the following paragraph upon the subject : "TUESDAY EVENING.-A discovery seems to have been made on the subject of private banking which has hitherto escaped attention, which is, that the Acts of the 39th and 40th of Geo r g e e 111,, by which the exclusive pr ivile g es of the Bank of Engn are defined, contains nothing to prevent the formation of banks of deposit, with more than six partners in any part of England. Those Acts simply declare, that no other bank shall be esta blished by Parliament, and that no partnership consisting of more than six persons shall borrow, owe, or take up any sum or sums of money on their bills or notes payable at demand, or at any time less than six months from the borrowing thereof.' In this clause it is quite evident that no reference whatever is made to banks of mere deposit, and those who contend for the A Special General Meeting of the Proprietors of India Stock was held at the India House this morning, in order to consider of their affairs relative to the Bill now before the House of Lords, called the East India Regulation Bill. At tw clue o'clock, C. Marjoribanks, Esq., Chairman, with most of the Directors, entered the Court, when the minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The CHAIRMAN said, the Court had been called for the purpose of hearing a petition to the House of Lords, laid before it for their approval, against the Bill—that to the Com mons having been of no use. The petition was then read, and was merel y a copy of that which appeared in The Sun a few days ago, as being pre sented to the House of Commons. The CHAIRMAN moved that the petition be adopted. Mr. R. JACKSON said that it was with sorrow he spoke on the present occasion, because their late petition had been treated with such contumely by the House of Commons, and they having been refused to be heard at the bar by their counsel upon one of the most important matters that had ever engaged their attention. They were now to consider the state of the Bill as it had been sent up to the House of Lords, upon which de pended not only the fate of India, but that of the united kingdom, so far as its being connected with India depended. Some of the clauses had been commented upon in the petition, but there were others, such as the third, which stated that after a certain time the whole of the commercial assets should be sold. If this was done so hurriedly, what was to become of a very large class of persons who must be thrown out of employment? He trusted the Directors would, so long as they were able, protest against that change being carried into effect. Mr. Macaulay had before declared that the people of India were the most overtaxed on the face of the earth. Then let him take care how he supported a mea sure which would add more taxes to that burden ; for the human race were most fearful, when driven to despair. Mr. Grant, at the outset, said that the dividend would be received by the uncontrolled power given to the Board—yet, in the very same Bill there was a clause which made them nothing but the mere puppets in the bands of the Commissioners for the affairs of India. The security was to be upon the econo my pursued by the Court, yet in this Bill there were clauses making new offices,which at the outset would add to the expendi ture of the Government upwards of 100,000/. per annum. The Government, in common honesty, were bound either to give up that unnecessary expenditure, or increase the guarantee fund to three millions. Then the 10th clause gave them the power to vote by proxy, putting them who were King de facto of one of the greatest empires in the world on a level with the Blind School and other pauper establishments. He would hope that the Court would respectfully press upon Government to withdraw that clause altogether. The 25th clause stated that a defaulter in the Directory was eligible again in two years. Surely that was not proper. He be. lieved it was not intended that such should be the case, but it was not clear. lie could not at all agree with that clause which gave supreme power to the Governor-General, which would, if carried, effect a complete revolution in India. He trusted the Company would insist upon the appointment of the Commissioners to inquire into the law being only for a li. mited time, otherwise it would be a complete job. The with drawal of the Councils from Madras and Bombay was a most unwise .nurse—they were the best checks upon an ignorant Governor. All those alterations had been made since the Company had agreed upon the basis of the agree ment, therefore he trusted it was not too much to ask for some more time for their consideration. As to the appointment of two new Bishops, they were intended for one of two pur. poses, either to superintend the Established Church there, or they were intended for the purposes of con. version.—(Hear, hear.) As to the first, it was almost laughable, only it was too grave a subject, to suppose that so many Bishops were necessary for the handful of Europeans who were in India. As to the last, if that was the object, India would be lost to us if the natives were once led to believe that all that almost Roya l splendour was for such a purposld be e. If a Resident was told to lo ok after Agra, the business wou better done, and at a tithe of the expense than with a lieutenant. governor. He then lastly came to the question of the College of Hay. lebur y. He had long ago moved that it should be abolished and he was still of the same way of thinking. The Company should not despair for they had there many friends. Mr. POYNDER was sorry to be opposed to any of the senti. ments of the Hon. Proprietor who usually spoke in that Court with so much power, but he could not agree with all that tell from him. He would contend that the appointment of the Bishop had the double effect mentioned by the Hon. Proprietor. CLEFT SPEAKING. M P E MAL PA RIAAM THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JULY 31. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, SLAVERY. On the motion of Lord A LTHORP, the dropped order for the Committee on the Slave Bill was ordered to be taken into consideration this evening, THELLUSON WILL. Sir JAMES SCARLETT presented a petition from Lori Rendlesham in favour of the Thelluson Will Bill. The Marquis of CH ANDOS presented a petition from Mr. Charles Flent, one of the trustees under Mr. Thelluson's will, praying to be heard by Counsel, against certain parts of the Bill. Sir JAMES SCARLETT then rose to move the second reading of the Bill, in doing which the Learned Member went in detail into all the circumstances connected with the case, which were stated by Lord Lyndhurst in introducing the Bill in the House of Lords. The Hon. Member proposed to com bine two objects, first the securing the accumulation in the same manner as directed by the will, and also to leave the pro perty to those whose descendants would eventually beeome en titled to it. With the exception of Lord Rendlesham the per sons whose children would inherit this vast property were totally unable to educate them in a suitable manner for the enjoyment of so great an income. The Hon. and Learned Member concluded the statement by expressing a hope that the House would pass the Bill :is an act of equity and justice, which was only opposed by ono of the trustees. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL seconded the motion, and argued that neither the present nor the future generations of the family could be injured by the arrangement. The private interest of the opposing trustee ought to have no weight with the House. Mr. D. W. HARVEY rose, as he said, not to oppose the Bi, but to make some comments upon it in connection the courts of law alluded to by the Hon. and Learned Gentle man, who had preceded him. It appeared that this estate produced an income of about 25,000/. a year, 16,0001. of which went into the Court of Chancery, and the remaining amount of 9,0001. fell into the hands of parties so peculiarly eulogised by the Hon. and Learned Member.—(Hear, hear.) If by this Bill the estate was to be reserved from the Is igs of the law, he would ask whether that was the only estate under the sweating operation of the Court of Chancery? Or was it that there was little sympathy for small sums, which could not expect to be aided by the accidental weight of great names, and great men ? He thought the principle was in all cases the same—that the smaller as well as the larger sums—the humble as well as the noble among men—had equal claims to legisla tive consideration—(Hear, hear) —had equal claims to be re lieved from this sweating systeHear, hear.) It would have been better if this estate had been made an illustration of the general hardship, upon a measure of comprehensive extent, and not as an exception to a general rule.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Time enough had been afforded for this ; for, from the death of the testator of this extraordinary will, up to the present day, motions "in the matter of Thelluson came on as regular, term after term, as if the case were part and parcel of the Court of Chancery.—(Hear.) The mere mention of the name was sure to produce the bobbing up of twenty learned wi g s, who were engaged pro or con in this endless case. It was singular, then, that the estate had not been snatched before this from the hands of the sweating lawyers, as the Solicitor General had baptised them. —(Laughter.) The law might be said to sling to this estate, as the hungry sloth clings to a luxuriant tree, and after bat tening upon it until scarcely a leaf was left, had fallen upon the grass in a bloated state of repletion, there to lie for a short period, until its huge mass of food was digested, and then to look about for another Thelluson tree, upon which to make a similar gluttonous repast.—(Cheers and laughter.) lie trusted that the reformed House of Commons would direct its atten tion to the laws of this country, for of all the mat ters to which its attention had been directed, the state of the Court of Chancery was uppermost.—(Hear, hear.) It had been said the public would not be benefitted by this property. Now speaking as one of the guardians of the public purse, he would just point out how the public might be be nefitted. This estate produced '25,000/. a year, 5,0001. of which had been consumed through the agency of that profession he had alluded to. Now how did the public interest stand? There were two families of great grandchildren of the Thel luson family, in number ten or twelve, therefore it was to be conceded that the chance was very remote of any ultimate be nefit accruing to the public, but in the event of the family being swept away by death, this estate, now amounting to 25,000/. a year, but whose accumulation would make it consider. ably more, would then become public property. Now it was said that contingency was provided for—so it was but nut to the full amount. If the House were prepared to receive peti tions from persons complaining of not having justice dont them in the wills of their relatives, it would entail upol them a large and inconvenient accession of business. His object, however, was chiefly to call attention to the state of the testator. Sir R. PEEL said that if this was an ordinary case, he should certainly not gisTe his assent to any interference with the ma nagement of the Court of Chancery ; but as this was not an ordinary case, as it was a case where there was so capricious an exercise of power that it called loudly for the interference of the House, he should support the Bill. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR wondered how the enormous ex penses connected with the Court of Chancery had been tolera ted for so long a period. The Court of Chancery instead of protecting the estates of infants, in law, promoted the utmost robbery upon them. Sir ROBERT INGLIS, after some observations which were but imperfectly heard in the gallery, said it was too late, after a period of 36 years had elapsed, to bring in such a Bill as the present. He was of opinion that the Bill ought to have been brought under the notice of the House, like all other Bills, at an early period of the session. Mr. W. TOOKE said that the single point the House hail to decide upon was, whether they should revoke the will of the testator, and make those persons objects of bounty whom lir• was expressly desi taus of excluding from it. On all oc casions of the purchase of estates the comfort and convenience of this family had been consulted ; they had uni formly been the directors of all the proceedings under it, and though the aggregate amount of costs was very considerable, yet it was to be remembered that this suit had spread over a period of thirty-six years, and that a great part of this ex penditure had been Oi r buted amongst the persons most interested.—(Hear.) The House might reform the Courts as much as they pleased; but as long as the Court remained constituted as it was, and as long as those faults remained, it did appear to him unjust to be constantly refei ring to abuses which they took no pains themselves to remedy.— (Hear.) Dr. LUSHINGTON said, he did not think it was for this House, agreeable to its usual form of proceeding, to take cog nizance of what the House of Lords might have done in the exercise of their own discretion. Now with respect to the Bill itself, he would state honestly what his feeling upon it was. If he could agree with his Hon. Friend the Member for Truro, that this was a Bill to revoke a will made by a testator, he con fessed he should have great doubts as to whether the House could entertain any such subject. But the measure now proposed was a Bill to execute the will of the testator to the utmost extent, which the power and assistance of the Court of Chancery had hitherto been un able to execute. There was no deviation from the intention of the testator—there was no attempt to destroy or over turn those objects he intended to execute.—(Hear, hear.) This Bill was only for the purpose of taking the money out of Chancery, and giving it to those who were entitled to it, and Cur that reason he would support the Bill. After a few observations from Mr. ROLFE, The Bill was read a second time. CHURCH TEMPORALITIES (IRELAND) BILL. A message from the Lords brought in the Church Tempora lities (Ireland) Bill, with amendments, to which their Lord ships desired the concurrence of that House. Mr. ROOPER presented petitions from St. Neotts, and from a place in the county of Northampton, praying for an altera tion in the Abolition of Slavery Bill, particularly the abolition of that part relating to the grant of twenty millions. Mr. PEASE presented petitions from Mr. John Henry Stanton, a clerk In the Chancery Report Office, against the Register in Chancery Office Bill; from 10,000 inhabitants of Bristol against the grant of 20 millions to the planters while the negroes were to be continued in a state of servility; and from a synod in Scotland rececting the national system of education in that country. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from certain Friendly Societies in the Metropolis, praying Parliament to enact some law to improve and encourage Benefit Societies. DUBLIN SHIP CANAL. • Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite whether the witness who had attended the Committee on the Bill were to be paid. In a private com munication it had been stated to him that they were, but he wished officially to know the fact. Mr. SPRING RICE wished to put the House in possession of what the understanding on the subject was. That understanding was that the proceedings that had been taken upon the Bill should not be at the expense of the public, and notice had been given to that effect. He wished that the Chairmen of Committees would take a little more care to inquire into the nature of evidence to be given by witnesses before they summoned them, by which the country would be saved considerable expense, and the table of that House light ened of a great deal of trash in the shape of evidence. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that since the issuing of the notice, he had not signed any order for summoning witnesses. Mr. METHUEN supported the prayer of the petition, and instanced a case in which, by the present system, three Ma gistrates were subjected to actions, and to pay about 600/. in costs, for supporting an old man against the injustice exercised towards him by a benefit society. Lord DALMENY presented .1 petition from S . rling, against the Scotch Bankruptcy Bill. Captain DUNDAS presented a petition from Woolwich in favour of poor laws for Ireland, Mr. O'CONNELL said that poor laws would done good for Ireland. Captain DUNDAS was convinced that a majority of the independe..t landowners and residents of Ireland we e in favour of poor laws. Sir ED WARD KNATCHBULL was of opinion that if poor laws could not be advantageously adopted, at least there should be some provision made for the poor by law. Mr. SPRING RICE could not admit either of the Hon. and Gal'antMumbet's statements. The introduction of poor-laws into Ireland would be more likely to perpetuate agitation than suppress it ; and he was convinced that the majority of the landed proprietors and resident gentry of Ireland were totally averse to the framing of poor laws for Ireland. Much as he usually differed from the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, they agreed in this particular. Before recommending the adoption of poor laws in Ireland, the Hon. Member for Kent, and those Gentlemen who thought with him, had better set about the correction of the system of poor laws in England, and then propose the adoption of their improved plan in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. FINN said it should be remembered that five millions if ;he rental of Ireland were spe - at in England, and of course contributed to the support of the English poor ; that seven Bishops of Ireland spent all their income in England, and that all the Excise and Customs offices were occupied by Englishmer.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He would not, object to a tax on land, for the purpose of employing the poor of Ire. land in public works, but as for introducing the English system of poor laws, iri spite of the prosperity in England, they had produced a great increase of crime. Mr. O'REILLY said some provision ought to be speedily and effectually made for the relief of the starving population of Ireland. It would have been better if the Irish gentry, instead of waiting to see how the English poor laws were to be amended, had brought in some provision for the poor of Ireland.—(Hear.) One great cause of the distress in Ireland was the consolidation of farms, by winch teat numbers of persons were thrown out of their farms, and out of their cabins and potatoe grounds, and left to starve. He promised next session to bring forward some measure for the relief of the Irish poor, and then ha trusted that ha. should have the support of every friend to the true interests of Ireland. After a few further observations from Mr. Ruthven, Mr. Clay, and Mr. Shaw, the petition was laid on the table. A few other petitions were then presented, and the House adjourned.

Meantime the General of the Fifth Division assembled all his forces, and fixed his head-quarters at St. Bartholomeri in the same province, in order to wait for some reinforcements and other measures, to take the offensive against the rebels. Sinee then his Majesty's Government haste eived, by va rious official channels, information that the pe of Algarve' every where fled from the invaders, and abandoned their lands and dwellings, the emigration to the province of Alem tejo being immense. All the persons of distinction, including the Rev. Bishop, had retired, following the part of honour and legitimacy. After some time, desertion from the rebel army began ; some of the French belonging to it, immediately came over to us, and the outposts of the Fifth Division took twenty-seven prisoners, among whom were Jose Pedro de Mello, called Lieutenant- Colonel, Quartermaster -general of the enemy's army, a Cap tain and an Ensign; and the Rebels, after having advanced on our division, suddenly retired by forced marches towards Faro, plundering and burning on their whole march. While the Rebel expedition attacked Algarves, on the same day (the 24th) on which it landed them, a band of highway robbers, led by one Manoel Martinani, a Spaniard, residing in Punhete, went to Thomar, which, at that time, was destitute of troops, in conse. quence of the absence of the Royalist Volunteers, and committed the most horrible excesses, releasing the prisoners, burning the telegraph, plundering the inhabitants, arresting the authorities, and saying that they had full powers from the Rebel Govern. ment at Oporto to commit such atrocities and excesses. But the magistrates of Torres Novas, Santarem, and Thomar, and the Governor of Abrantes, immediately took all necessary mea sures, so that the banditti did not venture to go to those towns BounmoNT, is indeed a strong motive for rapi dity of movement against Lisbon ; for if Oporto were to be lost without Lisbon being gained, the campaign would be entirely changed, and the settlement of the question would be materially retarded. But we are assured by persons well acquainted with the means of re sistance possessed by the Constitutionalists in that city, and the courage which they display in action, that there is no serious ground for apprehension, and that the arrival of BOUR MONT, although it might, under other circum stances, protract the overthrow of the Usurper, cannot lead to the possession of Oporto. The Tory Peers are now caballing to discover how they can show their teeth (their gums only being impressed on the Irish Church Bill) on the subject of the Scotch Burgh and India Bills. This morning the Duke of WELLING TON, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, and a few of the confidentials of the Cabal, met at Lord ItossLYN's, in St. James's-square, whose house Is a private place of resort wherein much is concocted. Lord ItossLYN was a Whig ! Mr. ROEBUCK submitted his resolutions last night to the House of Commons, on the sub ject of a system of general education, but ulti mately withdrew his motion, on Lord A r, T 110 RP'S acknowledgment that he thought some definite plan of national education highly expedient. removal of all nitric/lona on that branch of banking, protest I very strongly against the bestowing on the Bank of England, whatever may be the fate of the old ones, any new privilege under the present arrangement. Whatever the real merits of the question may be, which is a matter to be decided elsewhere, these circumstances show that the Bank Directors will find it difficult to maintain this part of their objects connected with the new charter, whatever the presumed understanding may have been between them and Lord Althorp. , . If the statement of our Contemporary be cor rect, the oversight is curious ; but the fact of a public right having been laying dormant for a long time under an impression that it could not be exercised, is no argument for taking away the right altogether, and we trust that a struggle will be made for this point even if the mai❑ one should be lost.

Such matters might, he ventured to assert, be settled for 51, and in five minutes, if a tribunal were appointed to inquire into charitable benefactions. He did not intcnd to op pose the Bill, because he thought the justice of the particular case might, as had been said, call for it. Mr. O'CONNELL concurred in the propriety of passing the present Bill ; it was not a Bill to alter the testator's intentions, but to carry them as far as possible into effect, for it could never be intended by him that his property should be squandered in law. As to the danger of its being considered a "Jad precedent, he was con fident it would not become a precedent at all, for no person would in future make such a will, or if he did, no Court would be able to execute it.
