FRENCH PAPERS. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SirnNo or JUNE 4. M. Dupin took the chair at half-past one. The proms verbal was, as usual, read and adopted in the presence of less than 20 Deputies, after which the Sitting was sus pended until ten minutes to two, when the discussion of the Bill relative to the completion of the public works in progress was resumed. M. Jouss-tin proposed an additional paragraph to article 3, adopted in the last &trine, for the purpose of declaring that no part of the 44,000,000 f. granted by that article for works of canalization should be employed for a parti cular canal in the department of the .Aine, the whole ex penses of which ought, he contended, to be borne by the company who had contracted for that canal. M. Lecrand (the Commissioner of Government) and the Minster of Commerce entered into some explanations to prove that such a resolution would, according to the terms of the contract, he an act of injustice towards the company, and the additional paragraph was rejected by a large majority. MM. Merilhou and Vatout respectively proposed augmentations of the credit granted by article 3, for tbe purpose of making other canals which interested their respective departments, but the Ch.mber scarcely allowed them time to develop their propositions, but rejected almost unanimously all augmentation of the grant. Articles 4 to 5 inclusive, as proposed by the committee, relate to the terms on which it is to be opened to the public competition of any company to make a canal parallel with the Garonne from Toulouse to Castels. M. Sans proposed, as an amendment on this series of articles, to grant 3,000.000 f. for the improvement of the navigation of the Garonne between Toulouse and Bor deaux, and not to make any canal. The Minister of Commerce said that he agreed with M Sans that, on every consideration of economy and utility, it would he preferable to improve and facilitate the navigation of the Garonne than to form a coal parallel to it. Ile had urged this opinion before the Com mittee, hut finding the majority against him, he did not insist, hut as his own opinion remained unchanged, he should support the amendment of M. Sans. A discussion turning on points wholly of locil detai and interest then !;sued as to the comparative merits o the rivtr or catr c il navigation between Toulouse and Bor. Thi'. discussion was continuing when our re porter wv, obliged to leave. (From a Morning paver Private Correspondent.) PArEit, TUESDAY, 4 O'CLOCK, F.M. The Chathber of Deputies has not thought proper to vote the 'sum which the Committee of Public Worlte de. elated to be necessary in order to transfer the public library 'c'• t*:', the rue Richelieu to the Louvre. The amount of the `sum required was 18,000,000 f. (about 720,000/. sterling), besides the produce 'of the sale of the premises in the rue Richelieu. If the grant had been refused from motives of economy only, the refusal would probably not have at 'tracted licb notice ; but the vote of the Chamber has .a . ccpait'ed an important political character from the fact, htr.dered evident, though not declared in the debate, that the department of the Civil List was not thought to he trusted with the management of the funds required. Ali &sten supported the grant with an energy which rendered Ore result still more remarkable. The ohj. ctions to it were tirade 'oba v trious legal and plausible grounds, though the true motive seemed to he well understood by the **vile Chamber. When the civil list was under discussion, some very material points were conceded on an engagement taken by Ministers, that the sum of 2,000,00 Cf. out of its funds should be applied annually towards the completion of Napoleon's plan of joining the palace of the Tuileries with that of the Louvre. The work has since gone on so slowly and economically, that it is presumed the civil list tam been laying aside a considerable portion of the 2,000,000 f. instead of their being laid out entirely for the intended purpose. It follows, now that a new grant is called for, that the Chamber is by no means sure that it would be laid out according to its understood destination, instead of being made again a job for the private benefit of the civil list, and hence the refusal to vote the money +mad a special law be made for its application. The result of yesterday's vote was quite unexpected by Nlitiisterp, though the indifferent support they have re teived from the Chamber, in regard to several items of the budget under discussion, should have taught them not et pltree to. great a reliance on the issue of a question re- Isfecting which the Chamber had already evinced a strong +adverse feeling. Some reports have been put into circu letion in consequence, which I should think rest on mere conjecture. It is affirmed by acme, that Ministers will resign ; and by others, that they will dissolve the Cham ber immediately after the close of the present Session. Although Ministers have been defeated on several minor points, relative to the budget, and have obtained but weak majorities in others of importance, it ought to be remem bered that this was always in the consideration of plans suggested by committees appointed to report thereon, which plans, though strongly supported by Ministers, did not avowedly originate with them. They have never been left in a minority on questions of first rate importance, and the Chamber has, on the contrary, given them proofs of confidence on the vote of such questions, per haps far greater than they themselves could have ex pected. They could not, therefore, strictly be justifie.l in tendering their resignations by the plea of having forfeited the confidence of the Chamber. As to their having resolved on dissolving the Chamber, there is just as little reason to think that they have done so, as tu be lieve that they have made up their minds to resign. The chances of a new general election do not promise to be so much in their favour as to give them any hope of in creasing the number of their adherents in the Chamber. There would be at least as great a possibility of strength. ening the opposition as of gaining friends by means of new elections. I believe that, upon the whole, Ministers are very well satisfied with the present Chamber of Deputies, and would rather not try the experiment of a change in that quarter. S.nne of the frontier papers speak of serious disturbances es having taken place at Neustadt on the 28th ult., in consequence of an attempt made by the people to celebrate the festival of Hambach in a manner differing from the programme w!:-eh had been drawn up by the Govern ment. It woad seem from the accounts referred to, that a conflict had occurred between the people and the Bava rian regiments quartered at Neustadt, and that upwards of 100 persons on both sides had been killed or wounded. The city was in a state of great confusion. One regiment, the sth of Light Cavalry, it is said, refused to fire on the people, and therefore received orders to repair to the other side of the Rhine. Letters of the 10th ult., received here from Constanti• nople, say that Count Orloff, the new Russian Ambassador and Commander-in-Chief, has openly disapproved of the concession made by the Sultan to Mehemt Ali, in giving up the district of Adana. By a " memoranduM" pub lished in Constantinople, the Porte would make it appear that in all the late negotiations with Ibrahim, it has acted with the most perfect independence, and without any re ference to the wishes of Russia, for whose friendly inter cession, however, the Porte professes all due gratitude. It is, nevertheless, not certain that the Sultan's ratifica tion of the treaty with Mehemet Ali was looked upon as being definitive previous to the arrival of an answer from the Emperor of Russia to the despatches addressed to him by Count Orloff on the subject of the treaty ratified by the Sultan. The death of the Duke de Rovigo, which took place the day berore yesterday in Paris, will probably enable the public to understand what the intentions of the French Government are respecting the possession of Algiers. A Lieutenant-Governor has been acting in Algiers during the illness and consequent detention here of the Duke de Rovigo. It is supposed that no new Commander-in- Chief will be appointed if there is not a fixed intention of keeping possession of the place. A good deal of business was done to-day in the funds, an i prices have fluctuated a great deal.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1833. The result of the interview between the KING and Earl GREY yesterday, has been the chief topic of conversation in the political circles at the \Vest-end of the town this morning. There is a pretty general rumour current that the an swer to the address of the Peers will be exceed ingly severe; but we understand, from a respect able source, that the rebuke will be less in words than in principle, particular care having been taken to afford no just ground to the addressers to attribute improper influence by Ministers over the mind of his MAJESTY. It isnot true, as stated by the Tories, that Earl GREY has again proposed to the KING a creation of Peers. That point has not yet been started ; but as the Duke of WELLINGTON and his party are said to have declared that they will not pass the Irish Church Reform Bill in its present shape, we do not see how a . creation of Peers is to be avoided if Lord GREY should press the passing of that Bill this session in the House of Peers, unless the threat of a new creation should produce an effect similar to that which followed the nderstanding between the KING and his Mi- rasters on the Reform Bill. The KING, in ap proving of the answer of Ministers to the address Df the House of Peers, commits himself to any measure which Ministers may recommend here after for the prevention of a collision between the two Houses of Parliament which would be injurious to the welfare and tranquillity of the country. _ _ We hear that two of the Bishops have found out their " mistake" in voting against Ministers the other night, and have declared that they never intended their vote to be one of censure. We said their triumph would be of short duration. We are sorry to hear that the health of the SPEAKER of the House of Commons has been materially impaired by the fatigues of the Ses sion. Whatever opinion may be entertained of that Right Honourable Gentleman as a poli tician, there is but one opinion in the House of Commons as to the zeal and uprightness with which he performs the duties of his official situ ation. Few men with the party prejudices and predilections of the SPEAKER, would have the good sense to forget the partisan, and to com mand so much respect from political opponents by the display of public integrity. At the same time, we cannot but deplore the existence of those prejudices and predilections, as they are inconsistent with the character of the President of a reformed House of Commons. The Paris Papers of Tuesday mention that on Monday last Ministers were left in a mino rity on a vote of 18 millions of francs, proposed by them for the purpose of defraying the ex pense of completing the junction of•the Tuile ries and the Louvre on the north side. This defeat was looked on as important in Paris. The Duchess of BERRY would, it was ex pected, take her departure for Palermo on the sth (yesterday) instant. The well-known SAVARY, Duke of Rovigo, died at Paris on Monday last, of cancer on the tongue. His name is rendered remarkable for the murder of the Duke D'ENGHEIN, with which, it was supposed, he was somehow or other mixed up. The Gazette de France quotes an extract from the Augsburg Gazette to the effect, that the concessions made by the Porte to ME HEMET ALI had been disapproved by Count ORLOFF, and that a similar declaration on the part of Russia would be made by Count Pozzo DI BORGO at Paris.--On the occasion of the anniversary of the fete at Hambach (May 27th) a collision took place between the people and the Bavarian troops, in which many of the former are said to have been killed. The death of Lord KING, at the compara tively early age of 57, is a national loss which will not be very soon replaced. His Lordship was a descendant of the great philosopher LOCKE, and was not unworthy of such an illus trious ancestor. He was a shrewd, well-informed, accomplished Senator, of enlarged views in politics, which he was in the constant habit of enforcing in a terse and energetic spirit. Re form owes much to his unremitting advocacy; he was in the field early and late, and from his stern, consistent integrity, extorted the respect even of his bitterest enemies. The people have lost an influential champion in Lord KING, than whom no one ever exerted himself more warmly in the herculean attempt to purify the Church from the gangrene which is now slowly, but surely, sapping its strength, and eating into its very vitals. Hence his Lordship was no fa vourite with the Bishops, who could never by any chance refute his arguments, or neutralize the blighting effects of his sarcasm. We perceive by a notice in a morning paper, that a preliminary public meeting is to be held on Saturday, at the City of London Tavern, for the specific object of taking some prompt and effectual means of affording relief to the wants and severe sufferings of the unfortunate inhabi tants of Oporto. It is annonnced, " that the object of the meeting being exclusively charitable, no political discussion shall be suffered to inter fere with this object." This benevolent object, for the suggestion of which the public are, we believe, indebted to Mr. DAVENPORT, a gentleman who is ever forward in the cause of humanity will, we trust, meet with the support to which it is entitled ; and it is to be hoped that the old maxim of " Charity begins at home" will not be put forth on this occasion. Although the Committee under whose auspices the public meeting is got up have resolved that there shall be no political discussion, no man who shall attend that meeting will be insensible to the political causes which have led to the distress of the inhabitants of Oporto. No man, whilst he reflects on the dreadful privations of a city in a state of siege for twelve months, will forget that those privations have been borne in the righteous cause of liberty. If there is a man in London who does not feel that the inhabitants of Oporto have other claims on the sympathies of Englishmen than their mere suffering, without regard to the motives which have induced them to bear privations in preference to dishonour, let him stay away from the meeting ; at the same time, however, it must be borne in mind that there will be no excuse for withhold ing an act of charity because the dis tress which it is intended to relieve was produced by political circumstances. We would have the people of Oporto relieved, because they have undergone extraordinary privations for the sake of justice, and in defence of the principles of rational liberty, not only in Portugal but in the whole of Europe, which must feel interested in the efforts which are making to overthrow a sanguinary tyrant, and to put an end to the ignorance and bigotry which have so long held sway in Portugal; but although such are our feelings, there ma) be hundreds who feel an inclination to relieve the inhabitants of Oporto without reference to the merits of the contest between the legitimate Sovereign of Por tugal and the Usurper : we should, there• fore, be sorry to see any attempt made to give the meeting a political character, and afford an excuse for denying what is due to suffering humanity. Much and often as we have had occasion to regret the slow compliance of the Whig Mi nistry with the wishes of the people, their over caution in the removal of abuses, their measures of temporizing expediency, yet they have gone forward ; their general course has been to dimi nish abuses, and perhaps it is not inclination, but circumstances, which have prevented them meeting more directly than they have done, the evils of the cf , rn monopoly, of the Bank monopoly, of church corruption, tithe oppressions, poor law mismanagement, and pension list profligacy. Although, therefore, we have urged upon them, and shall again, the expediency and necessity of a more decidedly liberal course, it would be an absurdity of the first water in us to wish success to a faction which we know to be violently against those ameliorations of our institutions, which we complain of the Reforming Ministry for not advocating with sufficient zeal. Every day we have fresh proofs of how little the country would gain by the return of the Tories to power, and this very morning we find among the Parlia mentary papers a return, which will afford our readers some idea of the power of the reasons which induce us heartily to wish for the defeat of the Conservatives this evening. The document before us is a double one, embodying returns moved for by Mr. HUME and Mr. STEWART MACICENZIE, relative to the pensions now received for diplomatic services. There are a few, and very few, which appear to have been earned by long service ; but those who have had their pensions because no longer able to work, we have not been able to discover. But let us look at a few of the cases of downright jobbing. First, we find the Right Hon. Sir ROBERT ADAIR, G.C.8., in the receipt of 2,0561. for six and three quarters years' service. What does this service consist of? It appears that from the sth of April, 1806, to the 14th of March, 1811, he was employed successively as Minister Plenipotentiary at Vienna, on a special mission to Constantinople, and Ambassador at Constantinople. This tour of five years, at the expense of the country, and in the receipt of enormous salaries, earned him, in 1811, the pension of 2,0561., which he con tinued to enjoy undisturbed by the vulgar idea of labour for twenty years. At last the reforming Ministry coming into power, thought it but decent he should do something, sent him, in - July, 1831, on a special mission to Brussels, where he still is. The total amount received b y Sir ROBERT ADAIR fo r these laborious services of six years and three quarters duration is no less than 44,843/. ! The next pensioner to whose case we beg to call attention is Earl CATH CART. He appears to have been Ambassador to Russia for eight and a half years—a cold service, but warmly acknowledged. After receiving some 90,000/. of the public money for his services at St. Petershurgh, he receives a pension of 1,7861. As he has been twelve and a half years on the pension list, he has, independently of his large salary whilst in actual service, received 22,5351. Next on the list is Mr. ALEXANDER COCKBURN (a lucky name), who we find successively rising from post to post, and from pension to pension, till, having achieved the Envoy Extraordinary ship to Stutgard for three years, he settles himself into a pension of 1,516/. per annum. He be gan as a young clerk in the Foreign Office, in which he continued for five years. What his salary was in that situation we know not, but he was afterwards in good situations for nineteen years, and had he not had the cer tainty of a pension before his eyes, would, no doubt, have saved a handsome sum to retire upon. He may, notwithstanding this, certainty have been prudent enough to make up a purse; but however that may be, we find that he has received for eight years a pension of 1,5161. making, with the accumti lated receipts from other pensions, no less than 17,1721. The next gentleman is Sir JAMES CRAWFORD. He was Minister at Copenhagen and in Germany for nine years and a half, and in 1804 received a pension of 8861. Having enjoyed this for nearly 29 years, Sir JAMES, independently of salary whilst in actual service, has received 25,2511. The Earl of CLAN CARTY for eleven years' service has for nine years enjoyed a pension of 1,7861., making 16,0741. The Earl of ELGIN also, for eleven years' service, has had a similar pension for nearly thirty years, making 53,133/. Mr. JOHN FALCON, for six years' service as Consul at Algiers, has received in the shape of pension 12,3171. The Right Hon. JOHN H. FRERE, for having, in the course of eight years, made a tour to Lisbon, Madrid, and Berlin, has received 40,553/. ! ! Mr. CHARLES KEENE, for three years' services as Charg(t d'Affaires at Stock holm, has for forty years received a small pension of 2131. This is a small sum, and if this gentleman became incapacitated in the service, no one can complain of his re ceiving it ; but if he entered the service incapable, or his retirement has been a mere job, we have a right to complain of this payment, small as it is. In the aggregate it amounts to 8,520/. The next on the list is the Right Hon. Sir ROBERT LISTON. This gentleman, after a long course of diplomatic service, had conferred upon him in 1805 a pension of 1,786/. which he enjoyed for nearly seven years, receiving 11,8641. on account of it. In 1821 the pension was in creased to 2,0561., on account of which he has received, in addition to the former sum, and in addition, be it always remembered, to ample allowances and large salaries, the sum of 25,1861.! ! ! Sir GORE OtJSLEY, after five and a half years' service as Ambassador in Persia, has, for seventeen and a half years, been in the receipt of 1,786/., making, independent of a salary sufficient to repay the service performed, 31,255/. !!! The next is to all appearance a case nearly as gross : Mr. HENRY PIERPONT, for five and a quarter years' service, as Private Secretary in the Foreign-office, and Envoy at Stockholm, has received 26,801/. !!! There are many other cases equally demon strative of the horrible malvetsation of the Tories, and their profligate expenditure of the public money; but we must stop for fear we should exhaust our printers of notes of ad miration. Besides, to say the truth, the task of going through the return is somewhat sickening. As we turn over its pages, surprise, contempt, indignation, and disgust, succeed each other in rapid succession. We imagine that the enume ration we have made must have had the same effect upon our readers, and therefore bring it to a close. It needs no comment. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A mail has arrived from Jamaica this morning, sailed the 30th of April, and from Carthagena the 18th of April, by which papers to the 30th of April have been received at the North and South Aintrican Coffee-house. (From the JamaicaPaprrs. ) We are sorry to state that Major G neral Sir Wil loughby Cotton is about leaving the colony for a short time for the benefit of his health; he will emlrark on board the Tulloch Castle on Tuesday evening. Sir James Carmichael Smyth, the prevent Governor of the Bahamas, is to he removed to Demerara, and is to be succeeded by Mr Balfour. Any change must be for the better for the ill-treated and oppressed inhabitants of the Bahamas. Sr 3 15s. 19 1 4 9 1 4 25 (From the Papers of the 26th April.) A rough day for the commercial prosperity of Great Britain will be that on which the premature emancipation if the slaves in the West Indies takes place ;* but the Whigs, and they alone, are responsible for all that may occur—they will have created the crisk—they must find and apply the remedy. When the die is cast they will , iiscover the noxious qualities of that of which they now are so enamoured, and will lament in sackcloth and ashes the prosperity which will have passed from Great Britain never more to return. THE FUNDS. It being now ascertained that the mission of Earl Grey to hi., M,jesty at Windsor yesterday morning has termi nated favourably, and that the present Ministers will con tinue in their places, the Funds have improved this morning. Consols, which left off yesterday at 908 to opened at 908 1, went up to 901 for the Account, and at present may be quoted 908 In the Foreigh Market most of the Securities are also on the rise. HALF-PAST ONE. u n o d r l t a h n d papers and to South the lOt h American Coffee-house; May have - b i e ffi e receivedunse; they distressing a accounts of damages done to the shipping intrNitempestuous weather, as well as the failure of the seal fishery. They state that a great number of the sealing vessels out at that port, have returned very poorly fished, and that the average catch will be far below that of several preceding years. The following melancholy catalogue is extracted from the Gazette :—" The schooner Union was fallen in with water-logged, with masts cut away, and several dead br,dies on the forecastle." The Jamaica papers give an official account of a Por tuoese vessel being wrecked off Rocky Key, having 300 slaves on board. This vessel is from St. Thomas's, on the coast of Africa.

IMPERIALPARLIAMENT THIS DAY, THURSDAY, JUNE 6. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER entered the House shortly after twelve o'clock. Mr. WYNDHAM brought up the report of the Com mittee on the Wvmondham (Suffolk) poor Bill. Mr. PRYME . wished to introduce a clause to provide for the payment of the expenses attending the procur;ng of the Act. This occasioned some discussion between Mr. Potter, Mr. Wyndham, Mr Pryine, and another Hon. Member, which resulted in the recommittal of the Bill to the &line Committee. DUBLIN AND KINGSTON RAILWAY. Lord OX3IANTOWN brought up the report of the Committee on the Dublin and Kingston railway, which stated that the petitioners had not proved the allegations of the preamble. The Noble Lord then begged to present a petition from the persons who sought to obtain the Bill, praying that the Bill be referred to a Committee of Appleal. The petitioners complained of the conduct of some of the members of the Committee ; but, although it was his duty to present the petition, he knew nothing of the truth of the allegations. The petition was then read by the Clerk. It stated that a Bill had been passed to make a railroad from Kingston to Dublin, and that the work was in a state of conside. rable forwardness; that a petition had been presented to enab!e the proprietors to mike a branch railway, and a Bill for that purpose had been read a first and second time, and been then rferred to a Committee; that peti tionm had been presented against the Bill by Thorna Michael Gresham, of Sackville-street, Dublin, and by cer tain inhabitants of Kingston ; that the parties were per mittedby the House to be heard before the Committee against the Bill; anti that, although only one witness had been eYamined against it, the Committee had come to a reso- lotion that the pre imble had not been proved. The peti tioners expressed their conviction that they had proved the allegations in the preamble, and they complained that a strong and active canvass had been commenced by parties opposed to the Bill to endeavour to get Members of the Committee to reject it, and that some of the Members of the Committee had avowed their intention of 'ejecting it. They therefore prayed that a Committee of appeal be eranted them. Lord OXMANTOWN then moved that the petition lie on the Mr. RUTHVEN considered that the Noble Lord had insinuated at greater length the allegations of the petition, which were entirely unfounded. To the charge of can vassing he believed the agent to the Bill might plead guilty as readily as any body.—(Hear, hear.) He was sorry the Noble Lord had lent himself to be an instrument to serve the purposes of others, and that he was only half informed on the subject. There had been many discussions and some divisions in the Committee, but there was none on the preamble of the Bill, which had been negatived in the Committee without any dissent, even from the Noble Lord, who was present on that occasion. The evidence which had been quoted was not authentic, and did not agree with the minutes of evidence taken by the clerk. He complained that the charges, which were indirectly made, were not made in a plain and intelligible manner.—(Hear.) The SPEAKER reminded the House that it was un necessary to go into a discussion on the allegations of the petition. It was provided by the orders of the House, that, certain conditions being complied with to prevent such petitions from being frivolous and vexatious, it was the regular course to have the petition laid upon the table, then to have it printed and distributed among the Members, that some opinion mieht be formed of the allegations it contained and, an early day being named for the petition to be taken into consideration by a motion for a Committee, the House would then he prepared to go into the matter. The Right Hon. Gentleman reid the standing orders to which he bad referred. After a few observations from Mr. FINN, Mr. RUTH.. YEN, and Mr. F. O'CoNNoa, Lord OXMANTOWN repudiated any intention to pre judge the case, and moved that the petition be printed. It was then moved to be taken into consideration on Mon day next.

Mr. RUTHVEN presented a petition from a merchant of Dublin, praying for an inquiry into the manner in which the coal trade was carried on between that city and Newcastle. Also a petition from a member of the di-banded w rggon train of Ireland, complaining of their having been disbanded in 1815 without any balf-pay, while one company had been kept up in Dublin till 1829, and then disbanded with an allowance. This pe tition could not be received, as it prayed for a grant of money, and had not been sanctioned by the crown.

Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition from an indi vidual of St. George's E tut, and from another named Bradfield, in favour of the Beer Bill, but praying that the beer houses might be put on the same footing as public houses. He supported the prayer of the petitions, and hoped something would be done in the matter. Mr. PARROrT gave notice that in the Committee on the English Tithe Commutation Bill, he would move that no person who paid tithes should pay more than one-tenth of the actual value of his land, such •alue to be computed by a Jury to be summoned by the Sheriff, and that no Justice of the Peace who was in holy orders should act in the Bench when any appeal from such Jury was brought before it. Sir W. INGILBY presented a petition from Chichester for the repeal of the malt duty. REMOVAL OF SMITHFIELD MARKET. Mr. BRISCOE presented a petition from the mem bers and friends of an association for promoting rational humanity towards the animal creation, for the removal of Smithfield Market, for the establishment of four markets in different districts in the neighbourhood of the Metropolis, with convenient abottoirs, and for the alteration of the market days, so that they may not interfere with the Sabbath.— (Hear, hear.) The petition was of great import ance, whether the House considered the health of the metropolis, or the prevention of cruelty to animals. He believed that not less than eleven applications had been made to Parliament, six for the enlargement of Smithfield Market, three for better regulating it, and two for its absolute removal. The cruelty now observed to wards animals was such that he knew of instances in which cattle bad been obliged to be killed in the streets. As to the health of the inhabitants of the me tropolis, there were very great objections to the vast, though now necessary accumulation of offal in one part of the town. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from the in habitants of Croydon, praying for the abolition of the punishment of death fur offences against property.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT._(THISI4 CLEOBURT V. HERRING. Mr. KNIGHT showed cause this morning solving an injunction which had byen granter since, restraining the defendant from proceedu action of ejectment, for the purpose of turning, tiff out of the possession of certain property 5 1 the parish of Latnerton, in Devonshire. From ments of the Le irned Counsel, it appeared that tiff and defendant stood in the near relation of mother; that in the year 1826, for the purpose ing a family arrangement, the defendant by veyed the whole of her property, real and to the plaintiff, her son, in consideration paym-nt of her d3bts, reserving to herself, I the right to a bed room in Langston House, and St , nt-r-bridge cottage, part of her property. quently, however, by a deed in 1829, she con , property also to her son, the defendant, but refused to give up possession to the plaintiff, al l the deeds by which she had conveyed her been obtained from her either by the plaintiff or adviser, by fraud. On that ground she had ejectment in a Court of Law for the purpose hog the plaintiff to give up the whole of the prol Mr. KNIGHT, with whom was Mr. W RI GHT, for the plaintiff, contending that such was the (reline that existed between the plaintiff and that it was utterly impossible, consistent with peace, that the defendant should retain any apart Langston House, and that the whole proceedings k the defendant were founded in ill-will ratbir than The ATTORNEY GENERAL, on behalf of the de► submitted that the whole transaction was a gro upon his client, for tt'e purpose , ot shutting out ti. of the daughter of her second son, in order to let ►0 of the plaintiff's eldest sister, and that, even ►f the action was not founded in fraud, it could not be inasmuch as the consideration for which the prof given up had never been performed, he never WO; his mother's creditors. Mr. Tew followed on the Paine side. The VICE CHANCELLOR ordered the injunction, as it referred to the property actually conveyed, to solved ; but with respect to Stenter-bridge Cot‘ the apartment in Langston House, judgment WO given in the ejectment, to be draft with as the should think fit, and the injunction continued. COURT OF KING'SBENCH.-(THISDA' THE KING V. LORD TETNHA3I AND ANOTHER•O Sir J. SCAItLETT (with whom was Mr. litactla. showed cause against the rul e Ni s i, o bt a i ne d in Ib ° by Mr. P.,llock. The ground upon which the Rule was granted , that the defendants were taken by surprise on the the prosecutor refusing to admit his handwriting in' letters which they said would have shown them I ° been innocent. Sir J. SCAALETT contended, that the letters in - would not have altered the case though they ha' read, and there were very auspicious circumstance s fact of a Peer of the realm, who, it was proved, ha d fr, quent applications for places to the Prime and had always been refused, stating in his letter 1 "" prosecutor, that he had no doubt of the early his application on his behalf. Then it was to be . . _ _ mind that the Noble Lord had never made any on behalf of any one but himself or his fai Learned Counsel was proceeding to go through an' ment upon the letters seriatim, when he so' rupted by The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, who said that the had been granted without arguments, and froto line which Sir James was then pursuing, be admit the handwriting—would it not be better to his arguments to the fact of whether it was not th e of the Court to submit the case to further cor on the simple ground of surprise. Sir JAMES SCA ALETT said, if that was the of the Court, he of course would not further Pnr ° line of argument, but w o uld c on fi ne hi m self to 010 of the question stated by the Court. Then it ' ell' fact, that neither Lord Teynhaan nor Donlan been prepared with a single witness, an d Lordships were wed aware that it was a case most serious nature, affecting the honour of a of high station. It was also well known that if the h „ was supported upon false testimony, it in ee t u - r - e d , Langford, whom they stated to have been P er ' • sides, was it likely that he, the prosecutor, W ould aL ledge his handwriting to any pap e r s which be k new to be used for the purpose of impeaching the testate' had just given ? The facts were these t i n a case ° I importance to the defendants, they did not come ' with a single witness, but relied upon the admit person whom they said, and were going to pros, perjured himself; that he submitted was one of the cases of surprise that had ever come before the Coo' he believed their Lordships would not admit such $ gerous principle of practice.
