On the admission of strangers to the gallery, at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, we found about twenty Members in the House, Colonel Evans addressing the Treasury Bench across the table. We could not core rectly learn the purport of his question, or of the reply given by Mr. Baiing. Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from Sir William Francis Elliott, complaining, in the first place, that pre sentations in the Church of Scotland were now improperly made with impunity; and,in the second place,thst the purity of election for Members of that House, was affected by such improper presentations. The petition, he said, was from a hi,hly respectable individual—one of rank and character, and was of such a nature as, if supported, would call for the interference of that House; and, if unsuppor ed by proof, would put him (Mr. Wallace) under the necessity of re pudiating the information given 'o him. The Hon. Member went on to read portions of the petition, and to comment thereon, from which it appeared th it a ME. Scott, who hail been the assistant to the incumbent; of the parish of Ogdar, in Roxbur,hshire, for a period of ten years, and had given the utmost a tisfaction to the parishioners, had not, as had been expected, been presented with th- incumbency, although supported by a petition signed by 72 out of 100 inhabitants, but that tt e presentation had been made in favour of a Mr. Ewin, who was a warm supporter at the last election of the Hon. Captain El intl. The Hon. Member added, that he wish d to be tiis - inctly told by some member of his M.. j sty's G.vernment, wnether ten years of satisfactory ser vitude was not sufficient evidence in favour of the apt pointment of Mr. Sco t, without even the petition in his favour signed by the 72 parishioners. Captain ELLIOTT s ,id that some weight might be attached to the statement of he p tition, it founded n fact ; hot if not, the H•oise ought not to have been troubled witti such a set of trash.—(Hear.) The friends of Mr. Scott had started on their canvass three or tour dars heft , re tlmse of Mr. Etvin, in consequence of which the former received 72 sienatur , s to their pettti n. and the latter only 22, but the House sholild know that among the former there were only three out of the nine heritors in the parish, whilst the latter had the rem ining six, act that although the numb r , migt t be in favour of M. Scott, toe amoint of property w s in favour of Mr. &via. Lord Melbourne had only ac ed upon that principle, t! :e ca.e which had been pursued by his predecess r (Sir R. Peel) that where there was a difference of opinion between two candidates who had canvassed the parish, lie had appointed a third person, who hid not canvassed. That the present person had been recommended through political motives, was a foul and false assertion.—(Hear, hear, hear.) In the course he bait pursued, he had done nothing more than any other man in the world wou d have done—where he found a deserving friend he had put hint forward. He was sorry that so contemptible and trivial a petition should have occupied so touch of the time of the House. Mr. HUME could not consider the petition either con temptible or trivial, but greatly deserving the attention of the House. From the statements of the Honourable Member who had spoken last, it was clear that both the petitioner and himself were implicated in do ing all they could for their friends. The question with him was, whether the Secretary of State, in deciding as he had done, hail attended to the wishes of the parish. In his opinion he had not, but had attended to the recom mendation of the Hon. Member opposite, and had inducted a political supporter of his into the Church. He supposed the Hon. Member had obtained the appoin inent of Mr. Ewin as a debt of gratitude. He thought the question that ought to have been determined was as to the quali fication of Mr. Scott, backed as he was by such strong recommendations of servitude and other evidence. After a few ob•ervations from Mr. SINCLAIR, Colonel LEITH HAY, and Mr. G. LAMB, Mr. WALLACE replied. Church patronage in Scot land he knew had always been exercised with a view to political influence, and until the system was entirely done away with there would be no such thing as peace or quietness in that country ; and he would say that whatev,r influence he possessed, he would employ to agitate and influence the people to that effect. The Hon. Member presented petitions from the electors of Paisley praying for law reform, from Stirlingshire relative to the present state of bankruptcy laws, from the political union of the county of Renfrew against the law monopoly of Edinburgh ; also from the Chamber of Commerce and manufactures, in favour of a better registration of vessels. Gen. PALMER gave notice of moving, to•motrow, certain resolutions relative to the repeal of all duties upon articles of use and consumption, to be taken into considera. Lion early in the n-xt session. Lord ORMELIE presented a petition from certain free • holders of the county of Perth, relative to the present state of the game laws. Mr. MURRAY admitted the existence of the grievance and thought it worthy of the consideration of the House. After some observa►ions from Sir F. BURDETT, the pe tition was ordered to lie on the table. Lord DALMENY presented petitions from Airlie, and other places in Scotland, against Church Patronage, the desecration of the Sabllitb, and in favour of the Factory Bill. Mr. ESTCOURT presented a petition from some of the electors of Montgomery, complaining of being de prived of their elective franchise. Mr. EWING presented petitions from the bankers in the west of Scotland, and from the Merchants' House, the Trades' Hou-e, and the manufacturing interest of Glasgow, against the Bankrupt Bill for Scotland, and in favour of a local system of administration, from the ship-owners and from the Chamber of Commerce of Gla.gow, for alter. ing the mode of admeasuriment in the registry of vessels; from the Directors of the Town's Hospital of Glasgow, for the introduction of a salutary system of Poor Laws into Ire land ; from the Chamber of Commerce of Glasgow, for preventing the arresttnent of wages payable to workmen by the month, fortnight, week, or any shone, period ; and from the Students of the Mechanics' Institution of Glasgow, for national encouragement to the diffusion of scientific and mechanical instruction among the operative classes, and for exemption from duty on their advertisements. Mr. J. TALBOT presented a petition from Brigadier Smith, complaining of the conduct of Major-General Sir John Buckingham. Circumstances bad 13-en brought under his consideration which led him to believe the cons plaint was founded, and that unless something was , ione the greatest detriment might be occasioned to the artillery service. On the question that the petition do lie on the table, Mr. ELLICE said the Learned Gentleman having stated his intention of presenting the petition, he (Mr. Ellice) had applied for information, and had been in formed by the Adjutant General that not the shadow of any ground of charge existed against Sir John Buckingham. The accusation being positively denied by the other party, he could not entertain the I. ea of the House being further troubled in the matter. No impediment was offered tar such inhabitants of Athlone as defined the object of their visit to the barracks. Mr. TALBOT s,id a few words in reply. After an observation from Colonel EVANS, the peti tion was ordered to be laid on the table Mr. BLAMIRE presented a petition on the subject of Lord Tenterden's Act, from a parish in the county of Cumberland, refuting to the modus oil tithes. The Hon. Gentleman then presented a petition from Graystork, in Cumberland, on the subject of tithes. Mr. MURRAY presented a petition from the port of Leith, relative to the admeasurement of merchant vessels. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from the parish officers of the parish of St. Martin, who felt ag grieved by the representations of one of the Honoura able Members for Westminster (Colonel Evans) that they bad misapplied the parish funds, and that nine of them received salaries, whereas they in fact did their duty gratuitously. The duties were very heavy, and they received nothing whatever for it, and they prayed the House to defend them from such false and scan dalous imputation. The Hon. Baronet did not know how the House could do that, but certainly they were very respectable persons, and they were anxious to vindi cate theia characters. Colonel EVANS rose, but The SPEAKER said there was no question before the House, as the petition, by referring to what passed in the House, could not be received. Col. EVANS hoped before the question of privilege was dispose;l of, he might be permitted to say that he never said the parish officers had salaries of 150/. a year—that was a mistake of the newspaper referred to in the petition (the Morning Post) was to the rest of the matters, the various and extravagant expenses for dinner, hiring of laundaus to go to the dinner, law suits, &c., were all taken from e . .idence which had been published. The Gallant Member read a number of items from the minutes of evidence in support of hie statement, and contended that he had not been incorrect in any particular. The local taxation of the parish was about 50,0001., and King's taxes also 50,0001. ---the poor rates on which those expence were charged being 34,000 1 . One visiting of the poor at a place a few miles out of town was charged at not less than 6/. a man for six of them, making 36/.—(Hear, bear, hear.) Al his former statements had been to show the necessity of making the parish officers responsible to the parishioners, for at present the vestrymen elected each other, and the parishioners had no con trol ever them ; so that overseers and vestrymen were irresponsible bodies. The SPEAKER interrupted the Hon. and Gallant Colonel (it being three o'clock) by leaving the chair. SIMPSON AND CO., OR SIMPSON AND HIS EFFIGY AT VAUXHALL. On Monday night this phenomenon will prove himself the greatest and most enlightened gen tleman in the kingdom. "An immense portrait of myself," says he, " in its proper costume, in coloured lamps, and measuring the immense size of thirty feet, will be placed in the quadrangle behind the orchestra." What a blaze of intel lect ! What a glorified Micromegas ! Conceive a lamp-lighted Simpson, thirty feet high ; bowing profoundly at an elevation of five fathoms ; his sconce encircled with a " glory" like that which surrounds the head of an Apostle, but which, unfortunately, to a dim-visioned man who can see no higher than his waistcoat, must be out of sight ! How true is the scriptural adage, "he that humbleth hin - Felf shall be exalted !" Simp son hath " humbled" himself—bath been the meekest of the meek for years, and, lo ! he is now exalted to a height that shameth all prece dent, and setteth all imitation at defiance. H e is become of stature sufficient to excite the envy pf Sr. Paul's—to ogle the Monument—and pull St. Duna'an by die nos.. He might even kiss the Queen of Brobdignag without running up a ladder. We propose on Monday night to go up in a hallow, and look lion in ihe face. 0: course we shall land the upper part of his head somewhere above the limits of perpetual conge- Leion ; but we are prepared to risk chilblains to gratify our curiosil. For only conceive ! Simpson in gas-lamp shorts, with ilhuninated stockings and shoes to correspond a Simpson constellation, in short, all dazzle from head to tail, thirty feet high, by about ten round ! The idea is far too good to be lost Mr. Carus Wilson should instantly avail himself of it, and get up a joint stock company to illuminate him. More fortu nate than Simpson, he would have no need of effigy, and could not fail to make his fortune by the speculation ; for if we run far to see a Duke or an Earl covered with stars, we should all run twice as far to see a Simpson or a Wilson covered with lamps, and reaching half way up to the moon. We congratulate our worthy Master of the Ceremonies on the brilliant attain ments he bids fair to develop on Monday night. Should any of the children of Israel chance to see him, they will of course mistake him for the pillar of fire, that led their ancestors by night through the wilderness. FIRE AT THE CUSTOM-HOUSE. (From the Dublin Morning Register of Tuesday.) During the entire of yesterday the fire-engines were still engaged in pouring water upon the burning ruins of the Cus tom-house stores. From the inquiries which we have been making upon this subject, we can, we believe, state with some certainty, that the loss occasioned by the fire will not be so great as was at first apprehended, and that it will fall principally upon those, the solidity and solvency of whose establishments render them most capable of meeting it. A considerable de gree of confidence has been restored to the great body of merchants, by the discovery that the wines stored in the vaults have, for the most part, escaped without injury. The archi tect by whom the buildings were erected, and the architect of the Board of Works, having given it as their opinion that the vaults might be opened, they were visited by some of the merchants, who found the wine and spirit casks cool, al. though surrounded by an atmosphere that appeared in some degree heated. The discovery of this fact has checked in a great degree the panic that first seized the mercantile classes of this city. Although notices are still served on the churchwardens, as if the calamity was occasioned by malice, the notion is univer sally scouted that the fire was caused by an incendiary. We have been informed that during the examination of the vaults by the merchants deputed for that purpose, it was disco vered that three claret casks, in one of them, were completely emptied. Portions of the casks towards the bottom appeared to have been burned, and it is supposed that the fire commu_ nicated to them, but in what manner it is difficult to say, as no aperture by which it could have been admitted appeared in the roofing of the vaults. The place where those cask. lay is ad. jacent to the portion of the stores above where the whisky was deposited. It is singular that the casks which were over the empty ones were uninjured.

A friar of the name of Conway, who resides in the town, was able by his influence and that of a good whip (which, from the general respect entertained for his clerical functions, he was permitted to use pretty freely), to put it down for a while, but on his departure it broke forth more furiously than ever. The mob kept up the riot till one o'clock in the morning. At the fair of Borrisoleigh last Tuesday, a desperate riot took place between two factions. A magistrate found it necessary to read the Riot Act ; but this not having the effect of dispersing the rioters, the military were obliged to fire, by which three lives were lost and several wounded. The police was ultimately bea , en into their barracks. It is stated that they had to fire 12 or 14 shots, and subse quently took 30 of the rioters prisoners. THE COERCION BILL -CONDUCT OF THE POLICE. A letter has been addressed to Mr. Littleton, M.P., Chief Secretary for Ireland, by Jos. ph Rivers, Esq., of Tybroughney Castle, stating particulars of the needlessly severe conduct of the Kilkenny police in the performance of their curfew duty, detailing two instances, one in which two young ladies were stopped on their route homewards, and brought back some miles to a police station ; the other in which a midwife was similarly detained, at the haz ird of death to a poor man's wife. Mr. Littleton has replied, and promised that inquiry shall be made into the facts of the cases. DESPATCH OF LANCASHIRE BUSINESS.-- A gentleman transacted business at Bolton on Monthly, went to Liverpool—thence to Manchester—and back again to Bolton, at all which places be transacted busi ness within 'Change hours, and then went to dinner with a good appetite. This is the march of business in tight good earnest. .„, COWES, AUGUST 13.—We are all in the deepest gloom owing to the sudden death of Sir THOMAS ORMSBY, Bart., on board the Witch yacht. He bad just returned from a cruise to Ireland, accompanied by Lady ORMSBY, when an attack of angina pectoris deprived him of life in a few moments, and before even a boat could return from the town with medical aid. The yachts have in consequence lowered their flags and colours half mast, which bas a most melancholy appearance, and which will be continued till the Witch departs for Colchester with the remai ns. —Brighton Gazette. The accounts of the harvest from all parts of the country, including Scotland and Ireland, continue of the most gratifying description. OLD 13AII.tY-(TIITS DAY.) SPECIAL CO 3f MISSION-OLD COURT. Daniel Murphy, and Edward Boyle, two young men, were indicted for feloniously assaulting and robbing John Day, on the 23d June, of 3a. The prisoners were among those who were tried and con victed at the last Sessions of this offence, upon an irregular in. dictment. The same evidence was of course given to.day. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty. John Shaw was indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling.house of Thomas Holdsworth, at St. Marylebone, and stealing therein 25 sovereigns, three 51. notes, seven rings, a. watch, and a quantity of wearing apparel. This prisoner was also one who had been previously tried, and the report of his trial was published at the time. The fol lowing brief outline we give in consequence of the defence which was an alibi. The prosecutor resided in Berners.mews; the lower part of the premises was used as a stable, and he and his family lived in the upper part. On the 25th of May the prisoner took the stable of him in the name of Edward Young ; on the 27th, which was Whit-Monday, the prosecu tor left home at one o'clock, and on his return at six o'clock in the evening, he found a hole made from the stables to his room, and the property named in the indictment taken away, none of which has ever been since recovered. A Mrs Coleman stated that between three and four o'clock on that afternoon she saw the prisoner (whom she knew), and another man coming from the prosecutor's stables, the former carrying a large bundle tied up in a handkerchief. Another witness swore that he saw the prisoner and another mar coming also in that direction. Mr. BODKIN, for the prisoner, elicited from the las twitnems that he might once have said he could not swear to the prisoner. The prisoner in his defence denied the robbery, and as to taking the stables in another name, he did so to avoid his credi tors who had two executions against him. He also said he could prove that from three to four o'clock on Whit-Monday he was at such a distance from the prosecutor's house, that he could not possibly have committed the robbery. A number of respectable witnesses gave him an excellent character. It was proved that he adopted a feigned name to avoid being taken in execution, and that he was to have sold horses at the stables on commission for his brother-in-law. Several witnesses also swore that from 12 to S o'clock on Whit-Monday they were in the prisoner's company at the Nag's Head public.house, Compton-street, Soho, and that during no part of that period did he leave the public-house His Lordship summed up the evidence at considerable length. The J iry returned a verdict of Guilty. NEW CO URT. At the opening of the Court this morning there only re mained eight cases for trial. There were originally 72 pri soners, but from the want of evidence the Grand Jury have ignored a number et bills. Other bills were returned, but from the same cause the Petty Jury have declared t' , e parties not guilty. Hence from the late mistake a number of persons, who were virtually sentenced to long periods of banishment, and terms of imprisonment, have been restored to liberty. In more than one instance the judges besought the pri soner.; so discharged to remember through their future lives the fortunate positica in which they were now placed to which they stood in a few weeks ago. Such an occurrence as that which occasioned it would never occur again, and if they proceeded in the path of transgression, their-appearance at the bar would be remembered. (FURTHER DELAY.) Mr. BODKIN addressed the Common Sergeant in the matter of Joseph Young, who stands charged with stealing from the person of Tames Carr. This person had been tried, and hemeant to plead his former conviction, and put a record of that conviction in. Applica tion had been made at Clerkenwell for such record, and the clerks there had refused ; hence he (Mr. Bodkin) wished the case to stand over. He said, he apprehended that the clerks of the county Magistrates were not warranted in withholding the required document—whether it was erroneous or correct. The Judge (Mr. MIREHOUSE) thought that it would be better for the Learned Advocate to proceed to Clerkenwell and make his motion there in regard to the record. Until such application had been made the trial should stand over. The Sheriffs of course regret this delay, but for which the Session would have terminated by one o'clock, and enabled them to have proceeded to the City election, where their presence is necessary. In the course of the morning Mr. Bodkin made the applica. tion to the County Magistrates, and restated the case. The Chairman and the majority of the Magistrates were of opinion that the application could not be complied with, be cause if the session had lapsed on the 2cl of July the Court could not put any thing on the record which transpired after the session was declared to be null and void.— Application refused. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The intelligence received this morning from Portugal is not of so favourable a complexion as was anticipated. The Corsair yatch has arrived at Falmouth, bringing accounts from Lisbon of the Ist of August, and from Oporto of the sth, by which it appears that General Molellos still holds out, and has tak6l up a position in the environs of Santarem, which is a populous town on the Tagus, about 55 miles to the north east of Lisbon, it was the head.quarters of a numerous French army, who in 1811, were compelled to retreat into Spain. It is stated that negotiations were going on between Molellos and the regency. Eight thousand men had been raised at Lisbon to strengthen Don Pedro's army. The Duke of Cadaval with 3,000 men was at Alcobaca on the 31st ult., on the road to Luceria, having previously sacked the village of Caldas for four hours. Bourmont was still before Oporto, it is said, with an army of 23,000 men, and report says that he was going to make another attack upon that city. Incessant firing was still kept up upon that town. It is now evident by the above information that Don Miguel will hold out to the last extremity, and if Villa Flor does not with a strong force get in his rear, or land troops to outflank him, Marshal Bourmont will be able to hold out for some time to come. All now depends on the energy of the people of Lis bon, and their assistance must be forthcoming without delay. By the French mail this morning it appears, that the Mar quis Loule has arrived at Paris, and had a private audience of the King, after which he paid a visit to the different Ministers. A report prevailed that the King of Spain has again been attacked by the gout, and fear was entertained of its getting to the stomach. A letter from Madrid says, that Don Miguel and Don Carlos, will probably proceed to Vigo, and embark on board the Spanish vessel Saberano there, which has received orders to convey them to Italy. Accounts from Baden state, that the King of Wirtemberg suddenly left that city, owing to the events in Switzerland, which has caused great sensation is. Germany. THE FUNDS. Consols opened at the prices they left off' yesterday, 89 % to 14 for the Account, with little doing. We have no other arrivals this morning than the Estafette from Paris, and the arrivals from Oporto and Lisbon. The former still mentions the fall of Oporto, which is not credited in the City ; but we should not be surprised to hear soon of another desperate at tempt on the part of General Bourmont to capture that unfor tunate city, which the Pedroites are aware of, as they are getting ready a strong force for its relief. Owing to the unfavourable accounts from Portugal, the Scrip has lowered one per cent.—done at 23 ; Spanish 231. In other Securities nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. We do not hear of any private letters being received from Lisbon or Oporto by the Corsair yacht. Consequently, some doubts of the truth of the information received from Oporto are expressed by the speculators in Portuguese Scrip; but we are of an opinion that most part of the information is correct; for had the seige of Oporto been raised, we should have known it through various channis. Consols are not so good as in the early part of the morning, when they were P. 9 5G to U. At present they are 89 to %, and not much cloiag.

The election was considered as virtu illy over last night and the proceedings of this morning have shown that that anticipation was correct. In the early part of the morning Mr. Kemble's Committee made every exertion in their power to bring up voters, but signally failed, Mr. Ciaw• ford heading him every hour. From twelve o'clock the Tories seemed to have given it up, for after that there were but very few votes polled in Mr. Kemble's favour, while they continued to pour in for Mr. Crawford. Now, however, the poll goes on very languidly. The poll at one o'clock was.... Crawford 3618 Kenible Majority 1756 TWO O'CLOCK. Crawford 3781 Kernble Majority -1863 At the Monmouth Assizes, on Friday, JOHN Ens!urins was indicted for the murder of Wm. Rossaa, a miller, at Clytha. It appeared that the prisoner way in the employ of the deceased, anal had been several times very late in c om i ng h ome. The deceased gave him notice to quit; upon which high words arose, and the prisoner, who was much excited, struck the deceased on the head with a mill -peck. He died of the injuries. —Verdict, Manslaughter : Transportation for Life. FATAL FRoLic.—At the late Warnborough revel, a party of men, who had been drinking rather freely together, induced one of the company to submit to be sus pended by the heels in a stable. After hanging him up, to increase the joke, his companions left him for a few minutes; on their return, however, they found the link bad terminated fatally—the man had broken a blood vessel, and was quit e dead !....Salisbury Guardian.

At Swanage they embarked fir this place. Nothing could exceed the loyalty and cordial feeli ng with which their Royal Highnesses were received every where; the weather was most propitious, and the tour uninterrupted by any casualty, but one, which has been much exaggerated—that occurred at Plymouth, where it had been arranged for th,ir Royal Hi , thnesses to land at the Barhicin, close to their hotel, but which w.s changed to the Dockyard, at the suggestion of the Port authori ties. The eddies being very strong, the Emerald ran foul of the Active hulk, by which she sprung her mast to two places, but no part of it or of the rigging fell on the deck, and their Royal Highnesses p.ssing immediately to the bow f the yacht (where they were le :I by the Admiral and the Ciptains of the Navy), no accident could have occurred if the mast bad fallen. In this acci lent it was most gratifyine to observe, that their Royal Highnesses were perfectly composed, and left the yacht with theAdiniral as if nothing. had occurred. AUGUST 13 —Her Majesty's birthday was ..In.erved here with unusual eclat.

Two attempts to assemble a Court of Alder mil, to admi• Mr. CaAwronn to the freedom of the City, having failed, a third is to he made to-morrow, but as their Worships are informed that they are called together " for no other business," the issue is deemed doubtful ; and if Mr. CRAWFORD should be a non-freeman at the rime the Sheriffs declare the election (Saturday, it is sup• posed, will be the day), his return will be open to dis • pute. The electors are required to choose a citizen, but Parliament may hold that a person having a house, paying taxes, &c., within the City, sati•fres the term, although the corporate authorities understand the term differently, and maintain that an inhabitant is not a citizen unless he is a freeman. A person seeking the freedom by purchase, can be made free only by the Court of Aldermen. Mr. Alderman COPELAND received thrte rounds of applause yesterday, on giving his vote for Mr. CRAWFORD.— Morning Advertiser.

DISCHARGE OF THE WHOLE OF TILE PRIS , INZPS ILLEGALLY CONVICTED BY THE MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.-The public have already been made acquain•ed with the fact that during the last few days re peated interruptions to the business of the Middlesex sessions had taken place in consequence of the Chairman having to quit the Court to attend private meetings of his colleagues. Communications on the subject of the course :o be adopted as to the convi, ts, who are nut compre hended in the Special Commission, were also had with Lord Ms.urowtxx, to whom a letter was officially ad dressed by the Magistrates.
