The Loan CHANCELLOR resumed the woolsack a few minutes before five o'clock. Lord STOURTON gave notice of a motion for next Session, the object of which was the more frequent deli very of the gaols on the home circuit. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented 21 petitions from various places, and from various classes of his Ma: jesty's subjects. Five were in favour of the Local Courts Bill ; several from Brechin, and other places in Scotland, in favour of parish schools; there were others praying for the abolition of imprisonment for debt ; three fnr certain alterations in the Scotch bankruptcy law ; and one from a place in Yorkshire, in favour of a restriction of the labour boors in factories.

The police constable was on duty at the Horse Guatds about eleven o'clock in the morning, at the time the guard was relieving. He observed the prisoner among the crowd trying to pick several gentlemen's pockets. He watched him for some time, and at length caught him with his hand in a person's pocket, and seized him. Another con. stable confirmed this statement.

THE TIDES.—The Lammas Springs have this season been the highest known for some years, and but for the moderate state of the weather, might have been productive of much inconvenience to property, con siderably above the usual high-water mark at the same period of the moon's ago. The depth of the water in Leith harbour exceeded the quantity denoted by the highest signal. At Portobello, the space on the sands left dry barely afforded room for two passengers abreast ; low water, of course, presented a corresponding reflux. A bank off Newhaven, not often seen, was left so completely bare as to render it quite practicable to walk "dry shod" from within a few feet of Newhaven Pier nearly to the Martello Tower, while the Wear at the extremity of Leith Pier afforded a very pleasant continuation to that healthy pro enad e. —Edinburgh Courant. LONGEVITY.-011 Friday morning last Mr. Brodong, of No. 3, Squirries-street, Bethnal-green, died at the advanced age of ninety-seven years; and on Sunday morning, the 25th instant, Mrs. Gossine, of No. 4, Squirries-street, Bethnal-green, died at the advanced age of eighty-two years, the united ages snaking together 179 years. A few years ago, when Mr. Brodong was making his will for the disposal of such little matters as he was possessed of, he left his spectacles to Mrs. Gossine, his next door neighbour ; but who has not lived to enjoy the relict. His housekeeper, who is also advanced in years, has lived with him in that capacity for more than forty years, and, from her appearance, sbe cannot be far behind him. For some years past a swarm of bees has been observed about the chimneys of the Robin Hood public house in Bedford ; on removing some bricks from a cavity, or dumb chimney, yesterday se'nnight, three re gular tiers of comb were found, from which was extracted between 30 and 401bs. of honey. It is calculated this in dustrious fraternity has sojourned in this singular retreat for the last eleven years.--Northampton Mercury. WESTAHNSER HALL.—This spacious hall, the largest in Europe, and long admired for its exquisite roof and noble entrance, is now in a neglected state, and a stranger, from its dilapidated appearance, could never suppose that it was used at the coronation of our Sove reigns, or was associated with the remembrance of most important events recorded in the history of our country. Since the courts of law have been removed, the west end of the building has presented a lacerated ruin, with a mean temporary wooden staircase, leading to the lobby o f the British Senate, and the whole has a very desolate ap pearance. Formerly the busy committee of taste would have meddled in the business, but the renovation of the front, in point of architecture, and the new courts of law when fir,t erected, were so complete a failure, that the taste committee have conceived it probably prudent not to indulge in any further interference. The Commissioners, however, of the Woods and Fo•ests will, it is hoped, direct their attention to the state of the Hall, and have it re paired in those parts where its dilapidations call for their immediate attention:. TRADE OF THE TYNE.--An unusual activity prevails a present in the Baltic trade of this port. Several parcels of tallow, hemp, and flax have been sold two and three times over within the last ten days, in some instances netting an advance of 30 per cent. The warehouses generally are completely cleared, and hangs orders are on Ltd.—Newcastle Courant. He had preferred a bid of indictment against a person for an assault, in a case in which one of the aldermen at the Town 1111, in the Borough, held the assailant to bail, to appear to take his trial. He underwent examination before the Grand Jury, and stated the case exactly as he had done bef,re the Alderman, and entertained not the slightest doubt that a true bill would be returned. He found, however, to his very great astonishment and cha grin, that the bill was thrown out. To what cir cumstance to attribute so strange a result, he could not at all conjecture; but he afterwards met one of the gentlemen who formed the Grand Jury, and was assured by that person that the calumnious whispers of one individual caused the hill to be ignored; for every man on the jury, upon hearing the slander, conceived an immoveable prejudice against the subject of it. The LORD MAYOR said there surely must be a mistake in the statement of the applicant. It must be erroneous to impute to a Grand Juryman that he violated' his o.rth by revealing what took place on the consideration of the bills presented to that body. The applicant spoke nothing but the fact. His in formant assured him that there was quite evidence enough to insure a true bill, if any other man had been the prosecutor; but the Jury, upon hearing the calumny, at once disposed of the complaint, to the very great injury of a just cause; for the assault was part and parcel of a most aggravated system of persecution. His object in complaining to the Lord Mayor, was to induce his Lordship to lend assist ance in procuring retributive justice, by directing the Clerk of the Court to supply hin► with the names of the Grand Jury. He had applied to that gentleman, under the impression that the request was merely a matter of form, which would be im mediately granted, but the Clerk of the Court told him that the authority of the Lord Mayor was in dispensable. The LORD MAYOR said, that the course which it became the complainant to pursue was a very plain one. The ignoring of one indictment was no bar to the presentment of another, and the appli cant would have the advantage of representing the case before a different set of men from those who had thrown out the bill. The applicant considered it necessary to adopt the course he was pursuing, in order to correct ef fectually th emischief arising from the gross misre presentation which had had the effect of combining a number of men against the principles of justice. He knew that some influential persons had done, ' and were still endeavouring to do him fatal mischief,. and what he was now wishing to accomplish was merely his own protection, for which purpose he did not care about sacrificing money. The LORD MAYOR could not give any order for the list of the Grand Jury who were accused of so strange an offence. He must say that he altogether disapproved of the institution of Grand Juries. If the statement just made were correct (and he still thought there must be a mistake), it was calculated to show that Grand Juries should cease to exist, for a secret tribunal nullified the proceedings in a public dice. The applicant would adopt the alternative of pre senting another bill, although, perhaps, his calum niator would be amongst the number of the Grand Jury. Mrs. Fairer, a very mild and respectable young woman, who resides at No. 34, Ludgate-hill, ap peared to complain against her husband. She made her statement with evident reluctance, and wept bit terly as she described the conduct of the defendant, who was half drunk at the bar. From the statement of Mrs. Faires and her brother, it appeared that the defendant was now an habitual drunkard, and that notwithstanding the in. dustrious habits of his wife, everything in the house was likely to go to wreck and ruin, on account of his immoderate appetite for strong liquors. In one of his drunken fits this filthy Bacchanalian insisted that his wife should attend the shop the third day after her accouchement. The child had been seizetl with convulsions, and was now lying dead at home; and the defendant, whose malady was increasing daily, dashed into the mother's b ed-r oom , broke every ay3 and beat her vio outrageous he h a d len; thing iy.hou that ,ev lay in his erviolen violent and w been on former occasions, he had never struck her before, and she feared that he would in one of his frantic moments deprive her of life. She was also . apprehensive of violence from him to her aged mother, whose heart was almost broken at the dreadful prospect of starvation. The customers of the house were daily breaking off on account of the conduct of the defendant, who was very seldom in deed to be seen in a state of sobriety, so that she looked upon beggary as inevitable. The wretched man, the moment he laid his hands upon money, indulged in his favourite beverage, and never could be led to think that anything like rent or taxes was to be paid. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Faires, what have you to say to this horrible account ? Defendant-- Say (putting on his hat) ! Why I say that it's a cursed lie. I, I—l am. What the devil was I going to say ? Oh—l say I was never more so— sober in my life. The LORD MAYOR (to the gaoler)—Take back this man, and let him be fed upon bread and water. Don't, on any account, allow him to take a drop of strong liquor. Defendant—Poh, poh, nonsense. The gaoler said that perhaps as the gentleman was accustomed to a drop, he might die off if he did'nt get a little. The Loan MAYOR—Let the doctor see him, and do not let him have a taste of anything exciting, unless it is absolutely necessary. Ilis Lordship expressed a hope the customers of the house would return, and serve the poor young woman, who had made so unfortunate a choice of a husband. He was sure the friends of humanity would compassionate her melancholy case. The defendant then reeled out of the Justice room, and was taken to the Compter, where he will be obliged to remain for some time, as nobody will come forward to bail him. Benjainin.v, of Golden-lane, the dealer in clothes, was brought up for final examination, charged with having in his possession a quantity of satins and ri bons, which had been stolen out of a warehouse in Huggin•lane. Basil Wall, a Polish Jew, a tobacco merchant, was charged by Mr. Thomas Buckland, under the following circumstances :—Mr. Buckland stated, that the defendant had caused him to be arrested that morning; and when bail was provided, followed and threatened and persecuted hint. The LORD MAYOR—Did he strike you?' Wit ness—No; but I am afraid my life is in danger from him. His language almost frightened me out of my wits. Defendant —No, no.

The LORD MAYOR—But you had no right to attack him, after you put him into the custody of the Sheriff's officer. Complainant—l no more owe him money than you do, my Lord. Th e f act i s, t h at he da bbl es in the Stocks. He has gone to the most respectable brokers, and deposits money in their hands for the I purchase of different Stocks; and if the speculation ti tells, it is ail right with him ; but if it fails, he k'eks up a tow,and demands hi; money.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—You mean that he makes time bargsins ? Complainant—Exactly so; but he has all the profit without the risk.—(Laughter.) The defendant was then ordered to find MARLBOROUGH-STREET Mr. James Ruddiman, an appraiser in Wardour. street, was yesterday brought into the ()Mee before Mr. DYER, by Stone, one of the C divisson of po licemen, on the following charge : Stone was standing a few minutes previously op posite the dice, near a cart which an informer, named Skinner, had just impounded for some al leged violation of an Act of Parliament, when the defendant came up and pointed him out to several persons whom the transaction had caused to assem ble, as the informer. Complainant told him that he was mistaken in the person, for he was a police man. Defendant immediately said, then why are you in plain clothes? You are one of the police spies. You are Popay the spy; and continued to address him in a similar strain, men a considerable crowd had collected, who were only restrained from committing personal outrage upon him by being within the vistMty of the police-office. Complainant was obliged, to prevent a breach of the peace, to take the defendant into the office, to the entrance of which he was followed by the mob, who yelled and hooted as he went along. Mr. Ruddiman, in defence, did not mean to apply the observation respecting the informer to the po liceman. He merely said a few words to the by standers, expressive of his disgust at the proceed ings of the informer Skinner. Mr. DYER, presuming the defendant's explanation to be true, did not see that he was justified in taking upon himself to olject to a course taken by an informer which the law sanctioned. The enact ment under which the informer proceeded was, in common with other statutes, the result of the com bined deliberation of the Legislature, and it was a great absurdity for any individual to suppose that his single judgment was superior to the collective wis dom of such a body. The remarks which he had chosen publicly to indulge in towards the policeman, under some circumstances, might have been pro ductive of serious consequences, which, had they occurred, he felt assured the defendant would have been the first to regret. The defendant having expressed his sorrow for what had occurred, and Stone having intimated his readiness to withdraw his complaint., Mr. Ruddi man was discharged. THE POOR LAWS.—Three sturdy young women, inmates of St. Giles's workhouse, each having an illegitimate infant in her arms, were charged by Mts. Bayley, the matron, with having conducted themselves in a refractory manner in the workhouse. These females belong to that class of paupers, which forms a very considerable proportion of that large body of able-bodied persons which are fed and sheltered in parish workhouses. Each of the three defendants had been, for a considerable time, supported by the parish. The expenses of their confinement in the workhouse had been defrayed from the same fund, and two out of the three had burthened the parish with two illegitimate children, each affording, at the same time, fair grounds for presuming, from their youth, and from the lewd dispositions they had manifes'ed, that the parish would have still further favours of a simi lar nature to provide for. In consideration there fore of the parish having given them the means of subsistence so long, having allowed them to make a sort of lying-in hospital, at their convenience, of the parish workhouse, and having consented to maintain their illegitimate offspring, perhaps for life, a request was made to them, as the washing of the workhouse was very heavy, for a little assistance at the wash-tub. The matrons told them that their infants would be taken care of by the aged paupers, and they were at liberty to attend to them, and leave their work whenever their care was required ; they were also told that they were not expected to work very long or very hard (though each of the women appeared capable of performing the labour of an able-bodied man), but what was principally wanted was for them to exhibit a disposition to work. The women, however, flatly refused to do anything, con sidering all that had been done for them to be no thing more than what they were entitled to demand; and as this feeling was pretty general amongst the paupers, it was found necessary to correct it by the aid of a magistrate. Mr. DYER asked the first defendant (an Irish woman) why she did not assist in the washhouse ? The Irishwoman said she did not like the com• pany of the copper woman; the second assigned the same reason; and the third said she had only been confined seven weeks, and she thought herself still too delicate to go to work yet. I never heard a more impudent reason in my life, said Mr. DYER to the last speaker. Why how many industrious married women arc there who are unfortunately compelled to go oul and work to get bread for their children, even when a fort night has barely elapsed ? You appear to me to be entirely insensible of, and thankless for the benefits you are enjoying. The defendants having been properly repri manded, expressed their willingness to go to work. The matron then retired. HATT ON-GARDEN. SINGULAR CASE.—Yesterday, a middle-aged man, of reduced appearance, but of superior address, who gave his name the Rev. Dennis Al of the Irish Protestant Church, was charged by E. Halconib, Esq., of Baker-street, Manchester-square, under the following circumstances Mr. Macomb stated, that about half-past one o'clock that morning he was passing the Pan theon, Oxford-street, when the defendant stared at him in the face, and his appearance and manner induced witness to avoid him, and walk quickly away.

Mr. LAING then told him he was discharged. He expressed great indignation at his having been put into confinement. Q UEEN. SQUARE. APPREHENSION On TIT SHIELDS, THE NOTO RIOUS PICKPOCKET.—Yesterday the hoary-headed and notorious pickpocket, Tit Shields, who has been nearly fifty years upon the town, was brought up in custody by police constable Bourne, of the A division, N o . 55 and placed at the bar before Mr. WHITE, charged with attempting to pick the pockets 'of several gentlemen at the Horse Guard'. Shields denied the charge. He was apprehended solely on account of his former character; but he was now reformed, arid had entirely given up busi ness. He was getting infirm, and hoped that the Bench would be metciful to him. He was but just looking on in a quiet manner at the Horse Guards, and had no thoughts of p'cking any person's pocket. Mr. WHITE reminded him that it was proved his hand was found in a gentleman's pocket. Shields said that it was not correct : if it was so, his hand must have dropped in entirely by accident; besides, he had entirely given up business. Mr. WHITE inquired whether there was any per son in the office knew the prisoner to he a thief. Here a general movement took place, and officers and policemen stepped forward to give evidence. Woodherry, one of the officers of ►he establish ment, stated that he knew the prisoner to be a noted pickpocket. About thirty years ago he had him in custody. • Mr. WHITE said it was his duty to commit him for three months to the House of Correction, and to be kept to hard labour: Shields- 7 -I hope your 'Worship will allow me to be bailed. Mr. WHlTE—Certainly not; if you went out on bail you would be at your old tricks again before the end of the week. Shields was then remanded. The following anecdote of Tit Shields may be relied on :—A few years ago Salmon, the Bow street officer, used to go annually to Reading fair, to point out to the local authorities at that place any London thieves he might find prowling about. One morning Salmon espied Tit Shields, who no sooner perceived that he was observed but he endeavoured to sneak away. Salmon called after him, and threatened that if he did not leave the town he would take him before the Magistrates. Shields begged fOr mercy, and swore solemnly he would leave the town that moment. Tit went away, but in a few minutes returned, and pulled Salmon by the sleeve. " I say, master," ejaculated Tit, " so - help me God I have not got a wag about me; do let me stay in the fair until I have just got enough to pay my expenses ; that is all I want ; and may I die on the spot as soon as I have done that I will be off directly for London." Salmon could not help laughing at the request, and, porting his hand in his pocket, generously gave him half-a-crown, and told him to be off instantly. Shields pocketed the money and disappeared. ALGIERS. We take the following from a letter dated Tou lon, August 20 :—" The frigate La Vic Mire has arrived with intelligence of the expedition of Gen. Desmichels against Mostaganem, in which she took an active part. It appears that the occupation of this town by the French greatly annoyed the Arabs, and the surrounding' tribes assembled in a mass, with the intention of driving them out again. Mos taganem was soon assailed by the multitude who had pitched their tents around it. Gen. Des michels, finding that his presence at Oran was in dispensable, and that it would be impossible for him to return by land on account of the great num ber of enemies with which the country was covered, without being escorted by the whole of the troops he had with him, and thus abandoning his conquest, embarked on board La Victoire, who lay with her broadside to the town, and thus defended its entrance from the sea. He consequently returned to Oran on board this ship, taking with him the Turkish troops that had formed the garrison. The Arabs took advantage of this departure to form upon the shore, seizing and burning all the boats they could find, and murdering their crews. Fortunately, a very short time afterwards, the brig Le Hu:surd which had been met by La Vicloire in her course, arrived off Mostaganem, and, placing herself within pistol-shot of the shore, soon cleared it of the hos tile Arabs. General Desmichels, immediately on his arrival at Oran, sent a reinforcement to Mosta ganem and proposed to march himself with the remainder of his disposable force into the interior of the country, with a view of alarming the Arabs en gaged in blockading Mostaganem for the fate of their wives and children, and, by thus diverting their attention, relieve the town from their attack. There was every reason to hope when La Victoire left Oran, that this diversion would have the desired effect, and give time for the French troops to fortify the place, and put it in a state to resist any future attempts." The following further particulars are extracted from a lever of the 10th instant from Oran :—" On the 30th ultimo a large portion of the inhabitants of Mostaganem quitted the town, and not one remained in the quarter inhabited by the Moors. Our troops occupied it. On the 31st the Arabs attacked us. They were numerous and fought with vigour. We had several men wounded. Their camp was on the other side of Missigran, a village situated about one league from Mostaganem. The country abounds in fig and lemon trees. In the, night of the 3d instant the Victoirc cast anchor at Merselkebir, having on board General Desmichels and his staff. Two vessels, with 150 Turks and women, arrived at the same time. All the troops sent from Oran remain at Mostaganem, and 300 more have just embarked to reinforce them. Colonel Fitzjames, Commandant of Oran, has been sent to take the chief com mand. The ihissard brig, which had gone out only to carry despatches, has received orders to remain at anchor for the protection of the shipping. The Arabs are collecting their forces before that town. Those at Missigran, who were roughly treated in the sortie from Mostaganem, are exasperated. • On the evening of the sth nearly one thousand men, under the orders of Colonel l'Etang, proceeded from Oran towards the tribe of the Zs melis. They also attacked that of Saffareau-Douaires. The men in arms were upon their guard. Part of the women, children, and old men were massacred. We had on this occasion 40 killed and wounded. On the 6th the troops returned, bringing with them 100 bullocks, 2,000 sheep, 100 camels, 50 asses, and some women. The Arabs followed our forces to within sight of Saint Philip, when the troops.of the town were called out to reconnoitre the enemy. All the efforts of the Arabs to recover their position have proved fruitless. They were repelled with loss. Some of our soldiers have perished from thirst arid fatigue, and others have destroyed themselves. The regiment of chasseurs had one officer and four sol diers killed, arid ten wounded. The infantry lost about 20 men." A NOBLE BREWER.--A few weeks ago, we stated that a parsonage-house bad been converted into a beer-shop, A Nobleman's mansion in this county has shared a nearly similar fate, its proprietor having com menced brewing beer, and supplying it to one of his labourers for sale at his cottage ! The motive assigned is, we understand, a regard for the morals of the poor, the ale not being drunk on the premises, but taken away by the purchasers. How far this is correct we cannot pretend to say. The publican of the neighbourhood does not seem to attach much credit to, or be very grateful for, his Lordship's philanthropy, as be has taken out a certi ficate, and revenged himself by shooting all the game within his reach in the neighbourhood of the aristocratic brewhonse.—.Leicester Chronicle. The LORD CHANCELLOR then observed, that he bad recently received several communications on the sub ject f proceedings for the recovery of tithes. He did not think it was necessary to refer further to those cinn;- tnunications. He had reason to suppose that, after what bad occurred in that House a few evenings since (alluding to the proceedings on the Stay of Suits Bill), those pro ceedings would not be hurried forward. Nothing could, at all events, be done between the present time and Michaelmas term. It was not probably that the meeting of Parliament would be delayed long after time, and then the Legislature might take such steps as should appear I, it most advisable. On the motion of the Earl of ROSSLYN, messengers were sent to the Commons, requesting them to commu nicate to their Lordships a copy of the report of the select committee on manufactures, commerce, and shipping, and a copy of the select committee on agriculture. The LORD CHANCELLOR, alluding to the Small Debts Courts' (Scotland) Bill), expressed his regret that ie was impossible to proceed with it—first, because it was a measure which required much consideration ; and, next, because the session was so very near a close as to prevent the possibility of maturely considering its provi- sions. The delay in proceeding with this, as well a with seine other Bills that were then lying on tbei Lordships table, was, however, unavoidable. The fat: was, that the attention of their Lordships bad been e gaged by a variety of measures, of such paramount im portance, as left but little time for the consideration of others of less magnitude. The Irish Church Bill, the East and West India Question, the Irish Grand Juries Bill, the Scotch Burghs Bill, and many other important subjects, had occupied their Lordships' time so censtaetly, that scarcely a single hour could be spared for the discus sion of measures of a less pressing nature. The Earl of ROSSLYN expressed his gratification at the postponement of the Scotch .Small Debts Court Bill. The Earl of WICKLOW said the reason why the Bill was not in a more forward state was simply this, becaus e , like many other Bills svhish might have originated in that House, it had not orieinated there. Many days had elapsed in the course of the session in which their Loa ships literally had nothing to do, and when; if the busi ness were properly divided, they might have been .usefully occupied. When, however, the end of the session ap. proached their Lordships were overwhelmed with business. --(Hear, hear.) He therefore hoped that his Majesty's Ministers would turn their minds to this subject in thn course of the present recess, and that they would so divide the business between the two Houses as to enable each of them to take a more equal part in it. The LORD CHANCELLOR. entirely agreed in the sentiments of the Noble Earl, and would be happy to co operate iu any measure that was calculated to remedy the grievance complained of. Lord WESTERN presented several petitions frum Kendal and other places, complainiug of the hardships which the petitioners suffered from the payment of fees on account of tithe processes. After a few word; from the LORD CHANCELLOR the petition was laid on the table. The Earl of WICKLOW said it was not a matter of little surprise to him, when he came down to the House at five o'clock that evening, to find that the Irish Tithes Bill had been read a third time and passed. He had a petition, which was now, however, rather late, to present against the 31st clause of the Bill, a clause which did not stand originally in the measure. The petition, which was from an individual, having been brought up, . _ The Duke of WELLINGTON rcsc, and complained that the Bill in question had been read a third time iu a very sudden manner. Their Lordships were summoned for the third reading of the Bill at the usual hour. He certainly expected that it would have come on at the customary time, instead of which he found that the Bill had been read a third time at 12 o'clock that day. Nay, more, he found that on the third reading a clause added in the Committee had been struck out on the motion of the Noble Lord (Melbourne) opposite. —(Hear, hear.) That clause so struck out was a very important one with reference to those whose property was likely to be affected by the Bill. Lord MELBOURNE was not aware of any irregu larity having been czmtnitteil. A royal commission had been fixed for the day, and it was customary afrerwaids to proceed with the public business. They all knew, that when amendments were made in that House to measures sent up from the Commons, it was necessity that the assent of the Commons should be given to such amendments. The Bill had, therefore, been read a third time, and Pent to the Commons for their concurrence to the amendments. He understood, last night, that the business of the House was to counnence immediately after the commission bad been disposed The Duke of 'WELLINGTON said the Noble Lord spoke of a commission, but what had that to do with the matter of complaint ? Their Lordships were specially summoned for the third reading of this very Bill, at the usual hour. Did the Noble Lord say a word upon the subject last night ? Not a syllable; and the Bill which he expected would have been brought forward at five o'clock, was read a third time and passed at twelve o'clock. The Earl of WICKLOW said the conduct of his Ma jesty's Ministers on this occasion was such as he believed had never been heard of before. Their Lordships sitting in Committee must be viewed as a mere farce, if Minis ters might, at their own pleasure, come down and efface any amendments which their Lordships in Committez, had sanctioned. He now begged leave to ask the No ble Viscount a question, to which be hoped to receive a satisfactory answer. Power had been given to the Go vernment of Ireland to afford aid to persons in that country who had a claim on tithes. That aid had bean suspended, on the ground that a Bill was passing through Parliament for the purpose of affording relief to tithe owners, and of removing certain arrears of tithe. The measure alluded to was that which they had been recently speaking about, and which had just passed into a law. Now, he would a,k the Noble Viscount whether, if holders of that description of property in Ireland, now that this Bill bad passed into a law, whether any of those: possessors of tithes did not wish to avail themselves of that law, but would rather avail themselves of the legal remedy which still existed for the enforcement of tithes— would the Government, in that cisc, continue to afford them that aid and protection for the recovery of their property which had been previously afforded by all Go vernments, and by none, he would say, more freely than by the present? Lord MELBOURNE said the Government, in any proceeding which it adopted, must of course be guided by circumstances. In no case had such aid and assistance as that which the Noble Earl alluded to been granted in the first instance. It bad only been resorted to when a breach of the peace was apprehended. Interference of that description ought to be avoided as much as possible. It was an extremely unpleasant thing to introduce the police on such occasions, and it was still more unadvisable to employ the military. The owners would be left to their own legal remedy for tithes ; and in case of resistance Government, as he bad already said, must be guided by circumstances. The Earl of LIMERICK wished specifically to know whether assistance would be given, as had been done pre viously to the passing of the last and the present Bill ? We heard no answer.—The House then adjourned.
