Sir ROBERT PEEL last night triumphantly vindicated himself from the charges which Mr. COBBETT thought fit to bring against him. The consequence was that the Hon. Member for Oldham was left in a minority so small as to be positively ridiculous. Not only this, but his charges, on the motion of Lord ALTHORP, were ordered to be expunged from the records of the House. Mr. THOMAS ATWOOD has left town to preside at the great Meeting of the Birmingham Political Union, which is to take place on Mon day. As there are about twenty other Political Unions in the north waiting the result of this Meeting, the resolutions which it will adopt will have more than ordinary interest. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT or A JURYMAN --Israel Benjamin was indicted for stealing in the city of London, from the person of Samuel Rackwitz, a watch, &c., his property. The prisoner received a very good character, and the Foreman of the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was about to leave the bar, when one of the Jurors rose and said be did not agree to the ver dict. The prisoner was again placed at the bar, and, after a short consultation, the Foreman said eleven were of opinion that the prisoner was not guilty, while the twelfth insisted that he was. The Jury retired, and some time after one of the officers of the Court announced that seve ral of the Jurors were so faint that they had been obliged to be removed to another room, and they now requested o be allowed some water, and that some of them had ac tually thrown off their coa►s, waistcoats, and cravats. RECORDER—Is there any window to the room to which they have been removed? Officer—Yes, my Lord, there is; they now require some water. RECORDER.—.The Court has the power to allow it ; let them have a decanter of water. At five minutes past nine o'clock the Jury returned into Court, when the Foreman stated that one of the Jurors still remained determined, that there was no hope of his yieldinz, and, under these circumstances, he hoped the Court would disch irge them. The RFCOADER could not do that. The Foreman then applied for leave to inform their families of their Pituat ion , and thus obviate the uneasiness that would be crea'ed. Tn.. RECORDER suggested that they should again retire, and the Court would wait until ten o'clock. The sugges tion was followed, and at ten o'clock the Recorder again sent for them, when the Clerk of the Arraigns asked them if they were agreed. Foreman of the jury—l am extremely sorry to inform the Court that we are not, nor is there the least likelihood that we shall agree. RECORDER-Then you must be again locked up until nine o'clock in the morning. Foreman—Has it not been the cue that, where the jury could not agree, another was sworn in, and the first one diemi-aed ? RECORDE —I could not do that without the permission of the Ktng's Attorney• General, or some one who repre sented him ; with the consent also of the prisoner. It is impossible I can assist you. Foreman—What, my Lord, will be the case if we cannot agree in the morning ? ✓ RECORDER-When the morning comes it will be quite time to meet the evil thereof. The Judges will then be present, and will advise on the subject. Several Jurors complained of the extreme heat of the room, and their exhaustion from want of refreshment ; and at length it was agreed that they should be accommodated in the Grand Jury room. Foreman—May I be allowed to ask whether, in former cases juries have not been accommodated at the London Tavern? Alderman HARMER—That has been where the case has been proceeding. At length the jurors, many of whom appeared nearly exhausted, were conducted out of Cuurt, and locked up for the night. The dissentient juror appeared determined to hold out, and the Court adjourned until nine o'clock this day. At 9 o'clock this morning, the Jury again came into Court, when the Foreman, addressing the Recorder, said that they were not likely to come to any unanimous decision. The RECORDER said it was out of his power to dis charge them, and they must again retire. The Forem in implored his Lordship to have compas sion on them, for one of his brethren had been vomiting for two hours, and his life was in danger. Several others were in a complete state of exhaustion, and human nature could not endure such confinement much longer. The RECORDER. exceedingly regretted the circumstance, but he could not assist them ; he had consulted the medical gentleman who had been called to one of them, and he found there was no absolute danger. Mr. CLARKSON, on the part of the prisoner, had no objection to the jury having proper refreshment. The RECORDER was bound by law to refuse it ; the jury must retire, and when the Judges came, at 10 o'clock, they could come again into Court and make their statemen to the Judges. The Jury, whose looks were most melancholy, again reluctantly retired. At ten o'clock, when the Judges arrived, the jury were again brought into Court. Oa being asked in the usual way if they were agreed, The Foreman said they were not, and there %vas not the least chance of their being so. _ . Lord Chief Justice TINDAL was sorry to hear it; it was a question which the law left solely to the jury. The Foreman said that eleven of them were agreed on a verdict of Not Guilty, but one stuck out for a verdict of Guilty. They were now completely exhausted, not having had any refreshment for 20 hours; and if they were locked up again, there was not the slightest chance of their coming to any conclusion. After considerable discussion between the learned Judge and the jury, his Lordship said he would take care that their health should not suffer for want of nourishment, for they should have proper sustenance ordered them ; he, however, suggested to the oae who held out, whether he bad not better, considering that eleven were of one opi nion, begin to suspect his own judgment, and consider whether it might not possibly be wrong. The jury thanked his Lordship, and again retired. They had not agreed when our Reporter left, which was three o'clock. Henry Smith, aged 20, was capitally indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of William Worland, and stealing a blanket, counterpane, two pillows, clock, tea-caddy, &c., his property. The prisoner was ap prehended by the policeman just as he came out of the prosecutor's house, which was No. 22, Pulteney-terrace, Isiington. The jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing in a dwelling-house, but not of breaking anti entering. CHARGE OF MURDER. George Davis, a young man apparently not more than 19 years old, was pl .ced at the bar on an indictment charging him with the wilful murder of Thomas Cooper, on the 2d May, in the parish of St. George, Bloomsbury. Mr. CLAsxsor; stated the case fur the prosecution ; Mr. LEE appeared for the prisoner. Isabella Ward, the wife of John Ward, a sawyer, said she lived at No. 12, Silver-street, Bloomsbury, opposite the stables of the prisoner's father; the prisoner's father was a carman and contractor; the deceased was in Mr. Davis'■ employ. On Thursday, the 2d May, sh e h ear d the report of a pistol, and went to her window. It was half-past sin the morning when she saw Thomas Cooper go in, and the report took place a quarter of an hour afterwards. She saw the prisoner with a pistol in his hand, and the deceased was in a stooping position, and holding by the skirts of _the prisoner's coat. The pri soner was trying to get out of the stable, the door of which was open. The prisoner succeeded in getting away, 'caving the tails of his coat in the deceased's hands, and the deceased fell down on his right side. Witness SAW a little blond on the deceased's smock-frock. Witness's husband then went down stairs; while witness was at the window, and before the prisoner left the deceased, looking up to witness, exclaimed,—" Oh God ! George has shot me." She afterwards went down to the deceased, who was taken to the Middlesex Hospital. She had since seen the body of the deceased. Cross-examined—Previous to hearing the report of the pistol she had not heard any noise or quarrel. Did not see the deceased have any stick in his hand. Did not ob serve the prisoner's face when he left ti:e stable. She knew the prisoner well by sight. Re-examined She saw the prisoner's face when he went into the stible. John Ward, husband of the preceding witness, deposed to his hearing the report of the pistol, and, on looking out of the window, he saw the deceased and the prisoner, as described, and beard the deceased exclaim " George has shot me." The prisoner left the stable to escape, and witness went out and saw the prisoner running away with a pistol in his hand, Witness went for a doctor, and on returning he saw two policemen, having the prisoner in custody, in Hart-street, Bloomsbury. The skirts of the prisoner's coat were torn off. - John Burrough stated that he was in the service of the prisoner's father, and slept in the stable. He was cleaning the horses about half-past five, when the deceased arrived at the stable ; that was his usual hour of coming. The prisoner came in about five or ten minutes afterwards, and stood against the corn bin. The prisoner said to witness, " How long have you been tip ? ' Witness replied he had just got up. The prisoner said it only wanted a quarter to six o'clock. The deceased made answer, "It wants half an hour to it yet, Sir." That was all the conversa tion. The deceased stooped down to lice up his boot, when the prisoner fired at him as he was stooping. When the deceased came in he had no stick with him, nor did he use any stick or attempt to strike the prisoner. On hearing the report of the pistol witness turned round, and saw the prisoner running away from the stable-door, and the deceased had hold of the tails of his coat ; he dragged the deceased to the stable-d ior, a distance of about twenty y irds from the place where the deceased was shot ; at the stable-door the skirts of the prisoner's coat were left in the deceased's hands, and the prisoner ran off; wit ness did not hear the deceased make any exclamation, except" Oh ! Lord !" could not then see that the deceased was wounded ; Ward and his wife (the preceding wit• nesses) wire the first to come to the stable door where the deceased laid ; the prisoner was brought back by two policemen a few minutes afterwards ; the deceased was taken to the ho•pital. _ _ Mary Cooper, the widow of the deceased, deposed, that her late husband was alive on the 2d of May, and was then in the employ of the prisoner's father ; that morning he went to his work in good health ; she saw him next, at 4 or 5 o'clock, that afternoon at the Middlesex Hospital wounded ; the surgeons told witness he was likely to recover, and would be well in a fort. night. On the following Tuesday, the 7th of May, wits ness was all slay with him, when be was very light headed, insensible, and knew no one ; on the Sunday pre cechag (the sth) he was sensible, but much worse than the Friday previously. On that Sunday the deco &FLA said h. was sure he should not recover, that the prisoner had said to him that he would do for him, and th it he had done for him. He said Ceorge Davis had shot him. John Kayford, police constable No. 97, Division E. stated that be had known the prisoner before the 2 1 of May. On that morning, between 5 and 6 o'clock, wit ness was in Holborn, between Lyon-street and Blooms bury-court. The latter place was about 200 yards from the prisoner's father's statute. He heard the report of fire arms as if from Silver -street, where that stable was. He proceeded to the corner of Lyon-street, saw the prisoner running as if from the stable, and took him into custody. On taking him back to the stable, he saw the deceased lying on his side within the stable door. Witness at first said, " George, what have you done ? ' He replied, " I have done nothing." He then searched him on the spot, and fitted a discharged pistol within his coat, under his left arm (now produced). When they got to the stable he saw Cooper lying, and something black and burnt upon his left arm. Witness asked the deceased what was the matter ? He replied, " George has shot me ; I give him in charge." Witness took the prisoner to the station-house, and on searching him further, found two bullets in his trousers' pocket. Another constable found a powder-flask on the prisoner. Cross-examined—From the bad condition of the pistol, it could not be kept back at lull cock ; had known prisoner for eight months; that morning he looked very wild ; on many occasions witness had observed very extraordinary circumstances in the prisoner, and on two occasions wit ness gave an intimation respecting him to his father ; the prisoner bad had a pistol before, which was out of repair, but which be carried about the streets ; about two or three mouths before the Qd May, witness had seen the prisoner in the streets dressed with a cocked hat on ; witness considered he acted very often like a madman when he had got intoxicated ; could not say but in his sober momenta he always conducted himself well ; when he was sober he always avoided the witness. Re-examined—On the morning of the 2d of May the prisoner (lid not appear to be drunk or sober ; he ap peared as though he had been drinking—a sort of " stale drunk," as though he was recovering from an overnight's drunkenness. Mr. John Gill, house-surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, deposed that he attended the deceased when be was brought to the hospital ; witness examined him, and found a gun shot wound in the left thigh, and the upper part of the left arm slightly grazed, apparently from the same cause. The wound on the arm was quite superficial. The wound in the thigh penetrated the skin and the muscle about the lower and outer part of the thigh; the ball struck against the bone and pursued its course upwards; the ball re mained in the thigh. If a man was s'ooping to lace his shoe or hoot that was the direction the ball would take. The wound was attended with a certain degree of danger, and be expected a recovery, but in gun-shot wounds erysipelas was always much to be dreaded. The deceased went on tolerably well for two days, and on the Saturday he had an attack of erysipelas. That attack was occa sioned by the wound. He died on the morning of the Bth of May; erysipelas was the cause of his death, and that was occasioned by the wound. The ball was extracted. Cross examined—Had been five years in the profession, and was at present house-surgeon ; that office was fre quently held by students ; had not seen many cases of gun-shot wounds; the deceased certainly died of erysi pelas ; on a post mortem examination, he discovered ap pearances which would be likely to produce erysipelas. Witness had seen many cases of erysipelas; the external appearances of erysipelas frequently were suddenly visible ; in cases where a person received no wound, erysipelas might come on, and carry him off in as few days as the deceased was carried off. From the post mortem ex amination, lie was of opinion the erysipelas and consequent death might have ensued even without a wound. Re-examined—ln the present case he believed the de ceased to be predisposed to erysipelas, from the discovery after death of a chronic disease, but a person so constitu ted was more likely to be attacked with erysipelas from receiving a gun-shot wound than in a person who had received no wound. By Mr. LEE—Witness had never been able to discover any distinction in the appearances after death to those, whether erysipelas had been produced solely by a gun-shot wound. The witness then detailed at length the various un healthy appearances that presented themselves upon a post mortem examination of the body. Edward Pring, a police-constable, was with Kayfurd when the prisoner was taken into custody, and corrobo rated his testimony. Lawrence Fell, of No. 21, Little Russell -street, Blooms bury, stated that on the morning of the 2d May, at half past five o'clock, he was at a public-house in Broad-street, Sr. Giles's ; the prisoner was there drinking gin, and bad a half pint measure and a glass. Witness partook of one glass with him. He showed witness a powder horn and two bullets, and said he was going to make away with himself. Witness laughed at him, because he had said so before. He was partly intoxicated, but not drunk; he was pretty well in the habit of getting tipsy. Cross-examined—Had heard him threaten to destroy hinasei at times, when he was sober, as well as when in liquor. Tne prisoner, who seemed to have paid but very little attention to the evidence, was called on for his defence, and said he had no recollection at all about the matter. Witnesses were called for the prisoner, who gave evi dence tending to show that his conduct had of late given him the appearance of not being quite right in his head. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up the evi dence, prefacing it with a statement as to the operation of the law in such cases as the present. The object of the defence, he said, way to show that the prisoner was in an insane state of mind at the time he committed the dreadful act. It was for the Jury to decide whether the I prisoner was in such a state of mind—produced by the act of Providence—as to disable him from knowing right from wrong, and what was and what was not law ; or whether he was in a sort of wilful insanity, produced by the voluntary use of intoxicating liquors. If they believed him to be in the former state, then the jury must acquit him on that ground, because the law humanely threw a shield arout d those who were incapacitated, by the act of God, from knowing what the law was; but if they believed it aro e solely from the voluntary use of intoxicating liquors, thr• law would not permit a person causing the death of a fellow creature while in a state of drunkenness to be exonerated from the consequences of such an act ; because, if it did, the most valuable lives in the community would be at the disposal of persons who wilfully got themselves into such a state of mind. The Learned Judge then most minutely recapitulated the evidence, commenting on various parts of it as he proceeded. The jury retired, and alter remaining out of Court for about a quarter of an hour, brought in a verdict of— Guilty. The RECORDER addressed the prisoner upon the enor mity of his offence, and having earnestly implored him to make the best use of the short time he had to live, in preparing himself to appear before his Maker, sentenced him to be executed on Monday morning, and his body to be interred within the precincts of the gaol. The prisoner did not appear at all moved by the impres siveness of the Recorder's observations, and if one might judge from his careless manner and vacant look, he did not appear to understand the nature of his awful doom. The Court was exceedingly crowded and many ladies shed tears while sentence was {wing pronounced. NEW Cu URT. Sarah Northwood, a young lady of easy virtue, was indicted with stealing, on the 6th of May, 45., the pro perty of William Repton, from his person. The exami nation of the prosecutor, tt•ho had a tremendous pair of whiskers, caused no little. merriment in Court. He stated that he was accosted by the prisoner, who was with an other female, in Fore-street, and always making it a point to be polite to the ladies, he entered into conversation with the prisoner and her friend, paying his attentions more particularly to the former, who, in the course of their walk down Fore-street, took a comb from her hair and corned one of his whiskers.—(Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant ARABIN-And I suppose the other lady combed the other.—(Laughter.) The Prosecutor-0 no, my Lord, she had walked off before.—(Laughter.) If she had attempted, I would not have allowed her to do it. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN-Pray, what are you, Sir? Prosecutor—A slioernalcer, residing at Tabernacle-walk. Was not the worse for liquor when he met the prisoner. Missed the money after they had walked a short way, and had the prisoner taken into custody. Could not say whether he had the money, after the female who was in company with the prisoner left. Mr. Sergeant AstAßlN—And although you are so gal -1 int to the ladies, your gallantry did not carry you so far as to allow the prisoner's friend to comb your other whisker ?—(Laughter.) The prosecutor confessed that it did not. The prisoner protested that she was innocent of the charge. The Jury, considering it very doubtful whether the pro secutor had been robbed at all, and, if he had, whether the robbery had been committed by the prisoner or her female acquaintance, gave the prisoner the benefit of that doubt, and acquitted her. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN refused to allow the prosecutor his expenses, observing that the county of Middlesex was not to be put to the expanse of having the prosecutor's whiskers combed. IM PE RIA PARLIAMENT THIS DAY, FRIDAY, MAY 17. HOUSE OF At ten minutes past twelve the SPEAKER took the chair. On the opening of the Gallery, we found about 50 Mem bers in the House. The evidence of the Worcester Election Committee was brought up and ordered to be printed. On the motion of Mr. POTTER, the Rochdale Road Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. BETHELL moved the third reading of the Kings ton-upon-Hull Road Bill.—Read and passed. Mr. HODGES brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the Gravesend Pier Bill.—Amendments read, and ordered to he engrossed. Also, the Report of the Committee on the Thames Tunnel Bill. Sir JOHN ASTLEY brought up the R-port of the Committee on the Swinbourne Road Bill. Mr. MARTIN brought up the report of the Committee on the Economic Life Bill. Mr. MAXWELL brought up the report of the Cam mittee on the Weetmoor Enclosure Bill. Mr. SHAW presented petitions in favour of the better observance of the Sabbath, from Dublin, Louth, and other places—in all, seven. Also petitions from Garvah against the poor laws ; and also petitions for a revisal of the crimi nal code ; and also petitions against the Irish Church Re form DP, from the clergy and Archdeanery of Ireland ; from Ross, Kinsale, and other places; and two petitions aga i n st negro slavery. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET hoped that some measure would yet be introduced for the regulation of the Sabbath, and regretted that the Bill was lost last night by so small a majority. Mr. FERGUS O'CONNOR made some ob,erva tions relative to the intended Poor Laws Bill for Ireland. Mr. POTTER considered the fate of the Sabbath Bill to he another instance of attempting to do too much. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE expressed his sorrow that this Bill had not gone into Committee, when it might have been modified. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE, though he felt compelled to oppose the second reading of the Bill brought in by the Hon. Baronet, trusted that a measure would be brought forward in the present session to insure a due observance of the Sabbath. Mr. MOSTYN pre , ented a petition from several parishes in different parts of Wales, complaining of church pa tronage. Also a petition from Holywell for the repeal of the house and window taxes; and several petitions from Flint, and different parts of North Wales, against colonial slavery, and for the better observance of the Sabbath. Lord EASTNOR presented a petition from Ryegate against slavery, and front Banff against the restrictions upon malting, Sir JOHN SEBRIGHT presented two petitions from parishes in Hertford, for the better observance of the S abbath. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the borough of St. Andrew, complaining of the state of the Scotch boroughs. Sir GEORGE STAUNTON presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of land in Burslington, for the repeal of the melt tax. The Hon. Member thought that those taxes ought to be taken off which pressed most heavily on the people. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from Wycombe, in the county of Southampton, for the better observance of the Sabbath. The Hon. Baronet thought the House ought to have allowed the Bill on the subject to have gone into Committee, as many of its most objectionable provisions might have been expunged. Mr. F. O'CONNOR gave notice ; that on the 22d of May he should move a resolution of the House, that the absence of Ministers during the presentation of petitions was an insult to the House of Commons, and an injustice to the people of England.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member was interripted in consequence of some form for a short time, and on obtaining possession of the House again, he said that considering no Ministers were there to attend to the petitions of the people, it seemed to him to be quite unnecessary to go threugli the farce of presenting theist. He had petitions intrusted to him for presentation, but he would not bring them forward in the absence of Mi nisters. The only benefit the people had obtained from the Reformed Parliament was to have their petitions thrust into a bag under the table unheeded by those whose duty it was to attend to them. They might just as well be thrown into a bag and hung up in the Library, or in some distant room in the building without beine brought into the House of Com mons ut all.—(Hear, hear.) It was quite ridiculous to think that such a course of proceeding could be suffered to go on. If they were merely to have a bauble through this Reform Act, he trusted some Hon. Member would come forward and move its repeal. The Ministers had done no earthly good ; on t h e con t rary , t h e y had raised the expec tations of the people by the hopes they held out to a height far beyond what they found themselves able to meet ; they neglected their business in that House, and if they con tinned thus to absent themselves when they ought to be present, he would feel it to be his duty to move that an humble address be presented to his Majesty to dissolve this Parliament,—(Laughter, and Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member moved that the House be counted. Strangers w ere or d ere d to w i t hd raw, an d upon being admitted again into the gallery, we found (there having been a sufficient number of Members present) Mr. MARJORIBANKS presenting a petition from the associate congregation of Dunat against slavery ; from Dingwall against church patronage; and front Dinmore on the subject of the Scotch burghs. DUTCH EMBARGO. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presemed a petition from the merchants and shipowners of Sunderland, complaining of the continuance of the embargo on Dutch vessels and property, which occasioned a complete stagnation of th , trade hitherto carried on between that port and Holland, by British shipping. The Hon. Member then pre sented a petition from the same place, complaining of the taxation on the merchant shipping for the support of Greenwich Hospit il, from which merchant seamen could obtain no advantage. Also a petition from the same place, in favour of the Jewish Emancipation Bill ; and one from the Cordwainers' Hall, London, against slavery. An HoN. MEMBER. contended that it was prepostermls that the seamen in the merchant service should he called upon entirely to maintain an hospital for the succour of sea i me n n st o it f ut t in. h o enavy, who pay nothing towards that excel lent Sir M. W. RIDLEY had understood that the Govern ment would have taken this subject into consideration, in consequence of his (Sir M. W. Ridley's) having given no tice of a Bill to relieve the merchant seamen of thi, unjust tax. Mr. HILL could not see why the funds should not b>• male good out of the general income of the country. After observations of a similar nature from other Hon. Members, the petition to which the discussion referred was laid, with others, on the table. Mr. JAMES OSWALD presented petitions from the county of Renfrew, for the better observance of the Sah baili ; also a petition from Bridge Town, praying the House to take into consideration the distressed state of the hand loom weavers, signed by 1,507 persons. The peti tion prayed the establishment of a board to regulate the price of labour; this, however, the Hon. Member did not think practicable. Mr. GILLON thought the establishment of Boards of the description prayed for in the petition oJght to take place. Mr. HILL said that all attempts at legislation between master and -ervant had been productive of Oa t worst effects. Mr. HUTT presented petitions against slavery from Kingston-upon-Hull, and from the same pace complaining of the inequality of parochial rates in that town and its neighbourhood. Mr. DUGDALE presented petitions from Sutton, Goldfield, and Hill Morton, for the better observance of the Sabbath, and against the Beer-shops. Also a petition from Wollaston, for the Abolition of Slavery. Mr. GLADSTONE presented a petition from Rut arlington against Negro Slavery. The Honourable Mem ber would take that opportunity of adverting to the statement made by a Noble Lord (Howick), the other night relative to the increase of mortality of slaves in the island of Demerara, and more particularly on the estates of his (Mc. G.'s) father in that colony, attrittuting it to the manner in which they were worked. That was not the case, but the cotton and coffee trade decreasing, the slaves were obliged to assist in the cultivation of sugar, which was a much more pernicious occupation. An HON. MEMBER said that, on the part of the colony of Grenada, he wished to correct some of the statements made the other evening by the Right Hon. Secretary for the Colonies. Before entering upon that statement the Hon. Member said, that with respect to the question immediately b. fore the House, xnd admitting the period had arrived when it must be. set at rest in all probability by grsnting emanci pation, he could not give his consent to the proposition of the Hon. Secretary of State for the Colonies. If a measure of this nature were brought forward, be would feel it to be his duty to offer it his most strennous oppo sition. Mr. LYALL presented a petition from the merchants, traders, arid shipowners of the Port of London, 'elating to the Dutch emb irgo, and complaining of the serious conse quences and injury that had resulted to the commerce of Britain from its imposition, and praying the House to take the subject into immediate consideration. The Hon. Member cordially supported the prayer of the petition ; and also presented sever al from the wards of Coleman-street, Bi oad-street, and Cornhill, against slavery. Mr. GASKILL presented a petition from a place in Shropshire relative to corporation abuses. Mr. OLIPHANT presented a petition against the Scotch Burgh Reform Bill, from Bath ; also from the bakers' corporation of that pl ice to the same effect ; also a petition from the tailors' corporation of the same place against the proposed Bankrupt Laws for Scotland., Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE presented a petition from the inhabitants of Islington in favour of the better observance of the Sabbath. Mr. FOLKES presented several peitions to the same effect. Mr. GILLON presented petitions for the immediate abolition of slavery, from the clergy and magistrates of Bathgate, from the Political Union of Glasgow, and from a place in Kincardine ; also a petition from the magistrates anti other inhabitants of Lanark, against the Burgh S'otch) Reform Bill ; also, a petition to the same effect fro n the borough of Ayr. Me. TOOKE presented a petition from St. Dunstan's, Fleet-street, and St. Andrew's, Holborn, complaining that the members of Inns of Court were exempt of poor's rates, and against extra-parochial places in the city of London. Mr. PEASE supported the petitions. Mr. TOOKE also presented a petition from a place in Hampshire, praying the House to take steps for allowing the London University to confer degrees in arts, law, and medicine, by giving them a charter. He would on an early opportunity bring the subject formally before the House. Mr. R. POTTER supported the petition. Mr. J. SMITH also supported the petition. After the presentation of several other petitions of no public interest, the Speaker left the chair. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

TAT TERS ALL' S. The early part of yesterday afternoon was taken up in compar ing the hooks; after this the betting on the Derby commenced, and continued till 6 o'clock, without producing any ♦ery im portant alterations. Glaucus found backers at to 2, but did not make any advance; Twat ty was in request at 71 and 8 to 1 : Forester atB to I, and Revenge at a point more, were not so high in favour as on Monday ; neither were Brother to Grampus nor Sir Hobert in any great demand. Titian and Little Casio o were backed at 16 and 17 to 1, and an attempt was made to bring up the Moses colt, but ineffectually. Prince Llewellyn is nominally at 15 to 1; he is utterly friendless : indeed we heard one or two put the question, " Will he start ?" Nothing fresh on the Oaks, except that Tarantella is in as great force as ever. Muley Moloch was backed for the St. Leger at 13 to 2, and offers were made to take 12 or 13 to 1 about Belshazzar and Rocking ham. Mr. Powlett's filly was also mentioned. The only horse, however, actually backed, was Muley Moloch.

York, Wednesday N;ght. The meeting terminated this aft!rnoon with a thin eon,. pany and a poor day's racing. Mo%t of the influential sportsmen left yesterday, some for Liverpool Spring Meet , ing, but the majority fur Epsom, where the two great racing events of the year are so near their consummatiun.

The supplies this week of most kinds of grain are tolerably good. The Wheat market is very dull, and hardly maintains Monday's prices. The trade is firm for Barley, Beans, Pease, and Oats.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. We have just received the Hamburg Reporter of Tuesday. It is barren of political information. (From the above Paper.) The English mail of the 10th inst. reached us at a late hour yesterday evening. BORSEN.HALLZ...:OUr Stock Market was firmer to day, but the business continues to be on a very limited scale. Discount per cent. VIENNA, MAY 7.—Metalliques, 92; Bank Stock, 1,197 i. They write from Brussels that the Dutch Ambassador in London has positively declared that on the let of Au gust King William will have the right to commence hosti lities, if he should think it convenient, and that he will commence by cutting the dikes on the Scheldt—a mea sure necessary for the defence of his military position. They state from Antwerp that they are still working at the citadel ; and it is remarkable that the magazine which contained the provisions was still on fire. On the 26th of April the ice began to give way in tl e Neva; the cannon announced to the inhabitants that the navigation was open. THE TUNDSe Our accounts this morning are very limited ; and it is rather extraordinary we have had no information from the East by the arrival of the Hamburg steamer on Tuesday last, which could have brought very late news from Vienna on the subject ; therefore we must conclude that a final arrangement has not yet taken place. The estafette from Paris this morning states that Russia is continuing her warlike preparations. The French Funds are at the same price as per last arrival, 78f. 15c. In respect to the Dutch affairs we are still in the dark, although very favourable reports on the subject prevailed yesterday. The continuation of the Coroner's Inquest, on the mur der of the police officer, rather excites the attention of the public. Guasols, which left off yesterday 87fr I, opened at 137 i for the Account, at which price they are at present, with little doing. HALF-PAST ONE. Consols have improved since the early part of the morning from 87i to SS, buyers, for the Account. This is owing to information that the King of Holland is now willing to enter into a preliminary convention to open the Scheldt, and, on our part, we are to take eff the embargo. The smaller pending difficulties are to be nettled hereafter. We have no further accounts from the East, but important information is expected hourly from that quarter. All Securities in the Foreign Market have improved. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for Account, 88. CLOSING PRICES,—FOUR O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 195 India Stock ..................?'Si 3 per Cent.
