YOUNG v. THORNTON. THORNTON v. YOUNG. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, interrupting the business of the Court about midday, stated that he was under the necessity of calling his Lordship's attention to the point remaining to be dis posed of in the case of The Sun Newspaper, to-morrow being the 24 of April. The LORD CHANCELLOR-0 yes. Who is on the other side? Sir EDWARD SUGDEN said Mr. Pepys and Mr. Paley, but neither of them seemed to be in Court at that moment. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I have made a note of what I intended to state. In the first place, you paying all costs of the application, it being for an indulgence and accommodation to Mr. Young; that you shall take to the extent of half the sum, which, I think, would be 4,3901. and a fraction—in round numbers 4,0001. —that to the extent of 4,0001., the half of the alleged debt due from the assignees to Mr. Young, shall stand first as a deposit in respect of what may be bid—which I am quite sure is sufficient—and, secondly, as a security for the payment of the purchase money ; and if Mr. Young shall be declared to be the purchaser for any sum ultra that amount, then that he shall find secu rity for such ultra sum, according to the practice of the Master's Office. I think it is now clear, upon the whole, looking at the account, that that may be considered as a reason able and sufficient security to that amount ; but for such sum as may be bid beyond that, to such amount the usual security will be taken before the Master. Sir E. SUGDEN—If your Lordship pleases let that be so ; but your Lordship will permit me to say a word or two on the subject of the costs of this application, and I am sorry to have to do so in the absence of my Learned Friends on the other side. It is true we could not bid without the leave of the Court, but your Lordship will recollect the advantage we give them in coming forward as a bidder. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Yes, I am aware of that; but it is a great accommodation to you, you know. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN—Undoubtedly, it is an accomo. dation to us ; but just look, my Lord, at the benefit to them of our bringing forward a bidder, and such a bidder! The LORD CHANCELLOR—Yes, but I think it must be so. The result of the biddings will be much more favourable to you now. lam sure the consequence of what passed the other day will not be to raise the value of the property. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN—I'm sure it won't. Well, now, if my client should become the purchaser of The Sun— The LORD CHANCELLOR—O, then it will rise. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN—I hope it will, and that he will bring it here to cheer us a little with it. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Yes, yes; it will then rise to its full meridian. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN—I hope so.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The most important arrival this morning is the Lisbon mail, by the Confiance, which sailed on the 24th March, and from Oporto the 25th. By this conveyance the information from Oporto are of opposite complexions. There has been some fighting on the land side, which lasted during the day of the 24th. The troops of Don Miguel made an attempt to carry a newly-erected battery of the Pedroites, which in the onset they succeeded. The English, on losing their commander, gave way, but rallied again, and with the assistance of reinforce. ments retook the position with the point of the bayonet. The Miguelites also made an attempt on the lines of Oporto, in which they were defeated. We must state, the more alarming information to mar the cause of the Constitutionalists, that Sartorius, Don Pedro's naval commander, is at open war with him, and threatens to blockade his master in Oporto, and has arrested his Commis sioners sent to supersede him in the command. Sartorius is on the right side, having Don Pedro's squadron in his posses sion as security for his good behaviour ; consequently we have no doubt that Don Pedro must yield to the demands of his Admiral or loose his ships, which at present would be the upset of all his future projects. From America we have accounts that on the 25th instant the third Constitutional Congress of Venezula was installed with a message from President Paez, in which he states that perfect tranquillity is established all over the provinces of the State, and congratulates his fellow citizens on the prosperity that Divine Providence has bestowed on them, to establish a Con stitution. The situation of the revenue is satisfactory, Vene zula has been able to meet the expenses of the Government, and has paid a portion of the domestic debt, and has at her command some funds in the treasury. Vv Singapore papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 2d of November. SWAN RIVER.—We avail ourselves of the opportunity, the Freemantle observes, to give some extract relative to the state of the settlement on the Swan River. We regret to observe that this colony has not thrived, owing chiefly to the neglect of the Home Government. Provisions of all kinds are very dear. We also learn that Governor Sterling sailed for Eng. land, in order to procure a repeal of the duties. We understand that there has been an earthquake at the Manilla of late, the particulars not as yet arrived. The markets there are very discouraging, especially for British piece goods. They write from Paris, by the mail this morning, that Count Pozzo di Borgo is still making remonstrances against the attitude taken by the French Admiral Roussin in the East. By accounts from Naples, it is stated that Lord Ponsonby is going to Constantinople, in the frigate Acteeon, as ambassador from England. It is mentioned in the Gazette de Augsburg that Ibrahim Pacha has made a prisoner of the Governor of Smyrna, and se questered all the Turkish property on board the vessels in that harbour. THE FUNDS. The Funds are heavy this morning. Consols, which opened at the same price they left off on Saturday, 87 % % for the Account, have receded to 87 l i g, with little doing as yet. All Foreign Securities are also lower. The Tariff Bill has passed in both Houses in America, by which it is supposed that peace will be established with the nullifiers. HALF-PAST ONE. The funds still continue heavy, on which occasion we have generally various reports; but the only consistent one is that respecting the situation of the affairs in the East, which is looked upon to be in a very entangled state, and of which the Dutch Government are taking advantage, to procrastinate the settlement of the Belgian question, until Russia has gained her point in the adjustment between the Porte and the Pacha of Egypt, in her favour. The private letters from Lisbon and Oporto are of the same description as the accounts already published; but they state that Don Carlos is going to Italy. Report states that Sartorius has settled his dispute with Don Pedro, but this requires confirmation. Consols were done at 87 % in the early part of the day, since which they have receded to 87 to %, with little doing. In the Foreign market all securities are also lower.

Mr. JOY having condoned his summing up at four o'clock, against the return of the Sitting Members, applied to the Committee to come to its decision this day, when the Chairman repllied that he was then quite exhausted, and bad to take the chair at another Committee at five o'clock. The Committee would, therefore, pronounce its decision to-morrow. DIPERIALPARLIAMENT THIS DAY, MONDAY, APRIL 1. The SPEAKER took his seat soon after twelve o'clock. RIPON ELECTION. Lord CAVENDISH brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition again.r the return for the borough of Ripon. The Committee reported that the. Sitting 111-mb , rs were duly elected, but that neither the petition nor the opposition thereto was frivolous or vexatious. PORTARLINGTON ELECTION. Captain WEN' YSS brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition aeainst the return of Thomas Gladstone, Esq., for Per tarlington. The Committee reported that Mr. Gladstone was duly eected, and that neither the petition nor the op position to it was frivolous or vexatious. Mr. Crafer, from the Treasury, appeared at the bar with a return of duties upon taxed carts. On the motion of Mr. Alderman WOOD, Sturcke's Naturalization Bill was read a second time. STRATFORD AND MORETON RAILWAY. On the motion of the same Hoe. MEMBER, the Strat ford and Moreton Railway Bill was read a second time. On the motion of Mr. O'CALLAGHAN, the Clontnel and Kilkenny Road Bi.l was read a second time. On the motion of Mr. SANDFORD, the Aberzele and Conway Road Bill, and the Denbigh and Mold Road Bill, were re id a third time and passed. Mr. DIVETT brought up the Report of the Committee on the Exeter Water Works Bill. LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY. Mr. Sheriff HUMPHERY presented petitions against the London and Greenwich Railway Bill from certain persrns in the borough of Southwark, from the overseers of St. Olaves, and from the governors of the free grammar school of St. Olaves. THE THAMES TUNNEL. Sir E. CODRINGTON presented a petition from the proprietors of the Thames 'funnel, praying for aid to enable them to complete that work. The Gallant Admiral said the work was peculiarly entitled to the support of the House. The petitioners had already expended 170,000/ in prosecuting it, and surmounted difficulties which were never contemplated. They had already shown the prac ticability of the undertaking, and the only difficulty now was the avant of funds. If, then, there was such a necessity for so many bridges in so short a distance, it was but reasonable to believe that, in a place two miles below London bridge (there being no intervening bridge), such an undertaking as the Tunnel would be of great prac tical utility. If the Tunnel were completed, vast quan tities of goods would pass through from the Commercial Docks, which now had to be carried four miles round by London Bride. If Government would purchase the property, or would allow it to be sold by lottery, the pe titioners would be happy to come forward and meet such a proposition. In the United States, lotteries were granted for charities, and in London there was now a lottery for some property in Glasgow. Upon the suggestion of Mr. HUME the petition was withdrawn, in consequence?, as we understood, of some informality. SIR JOHN SOANE'S MUSEUM BILL. Mr. COBBETT said he had a petition to present against the Museum Bill, which it was proposed to have read a third time this day. The petition was from Mr. George Soane, the only surviving sun of Sir John Soane. After stating that the passing of the Bill would be to sane. tion a violation of those laws by which the social ties are held together, and that his fatleT must have been itnpro perly importuned and persuaded before he could have been induced to alienate so large a portion of the property, for that if he had contemplated such an act for some time previously. he must have made up his mind to take the necessary Reiss before he had 'ar rived at a period of natural 'decay, the petitioner prayed to be beard in person or by calomel or agent at the bar of that House against the passing of the Bill, or that the House would take such other steps as it might deem meet to prevent the olject of the Bill. The Hon. Member said that he thought it necessary to observe to the House that be had never either seen or heard of Sir John Soane or his son until four days ago. When the third leading of the Bill was proposed by the Hon. Member who brought it in, it was his (Mr. Colaetes) intention to move an amendment. He was informed, that upon the marriage of Sir John Soane, he received 30,0001. with his wife, and that George Soane, the petitioner, had several children, all of whom with their fat tier were in great distress. He admitted that the son had given the father great cause for offence, hut he (Mr. Cobbett) considered that the offence of the son ought not to be visited on the poor grandchildren. Hon. Members knew that the law compelled a man not only to support his children, but his grandchildren, and his great grand children ; and he thought they could not justly sanction such an alienation of property, as the grandchildren of Sir John Soace must suffer from, if the Bill passed into a law. He therefore hoped that the House would pause a little, before it sanctioned the third reading of the Bill. Mr. HUME trusted that the House would not he led away by the statements of the Hon. Member for Oldham, that the Bill would do the most serious injury. He fully aareed with that Hon. Member in his observation that the Scriptures required that we should provide for our chil dren and grandchildren; but there was one allegation which he had made, to which be wished to call the parti cular attention of the House. From the Hon. Member for Oldham's statement it would appear that the children of the petitioner, Mr George Soane, after his death, would be the heirs of Sir John, and that the petitioner was the only son Sir John Soane ever had. That was not the case ; but the fact was, that the children of the elder son, who was now (lead, would be the heirs-at-law of Sir John Soane; and if Sir John were to die to-morrow the whole of his property would go to those children, and the peti tioner would not be entitled to l a farthing. However the case might be—whether the petitioner was entitled or not—whatever rights be had, there was a clause in the Bill reserving to him and all other per. eons, the right of Boeing the same as if the Bill had not passed, and all that the present Bill did was to enable Sir John Soane to transfer the right in his own person to two dwelling houses, of the places where the Museum was to be placed. There was a clause in the Bill reserving to George Soane, the petitioner, and every person whatever, every ri g ht and title exactly in the same state in which they now possessed it. The Committee who had sat upon the Bill had heard Mr. George Soane against its different clauses, they bad entered most fully into all the circumstances connected with the case, and wet e unanimously of opinion that there was no act of injustice committed by the Bill to any individual whatever. He therefore trusted that he should be allowed to bring up the Bill, and that the House would not entertain for a moment the idea of postponing the consideration of the third read ing after the question had been so fully gone into by the Committee which had been appointed to inquire into the merits of the Bill.—(Hear.) Mr. BRISCOE trusted that the House would postpone the consideration of the third reading of the Bill, as he had been enabled to make himself master of very few of its previsions, but from what little he had heard of the subject, be considered it a case of extreme hardship and great moral injustice. Sir R. PEEL said in the present instance a gentleinan of great eminence in art had devoted his own money to the accumulation of most valuable relics. He had done so by denying himself indulgences which other persons in an equal station of life generally had, and he proposed to present that valuable collection—a most liberal act indeed, on his part—to the public, and all that he now asked for was an Act of Parliament to put an end to all questions as to the validity of that gift. As to the gift itself, he thought that the House and the country ought to receive it with the greatest thankfulness. With re spect to the suggestion whichhad been thrown out by the Hon. Member for Surrey, as to his property being placed in the British Museum, he (Sir R. Peel) had a clause to p; °pose on the third reading of the Bill, the object of which was, that the property should be placed in the British Museum, thereby saving the expenditure of a great deal of money upon this establishment. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped that the clause which the Right Hon. Baronet had to propose, would answer all the purposes contemplated by the Hon. Member for Surrey. He trusted, however, that that clause would leave it to the discretion of Sir John Soane.—(Hear.) Sir S. WHALLEY supported the Bill. Mr. HUME moved thee the Bill be read a third time. Mr. COBBETT knew nothing of the law as it related to cases of the present sort. He considered it, and he thought the House should oontoder it, as a question of necessity. The law and the prec.,pts of morality, as far as he understood them, required man, as far as possible, to protect and give every necessary sustenance to children and grandchildren ; but by this Bill the House was called upon to aid and assist in withholding from the donor's grandchildren thatsustenanee to which they were entitled. Would that House so uugtneruusly interfere? Would that House be party to a withdrawal from this gentleman's grandchildren of their rights of sustenance ? Would it countenance so unnatural an act ? He hoped, therefore, that tl e House would not agree to the third reading of the Bill. It appeared that Mrs. Soane (Sir John's wife) brought him 30,0001., but he alleged there had been no settlement, Who was to say how much of the celebrity and renown arose to Sir John Soane, from the possession of that 30,000/. Perhaps it had been the occasion of the whole of his celebrity and property ; and he held (as he was sure every other Member of that House would), that if a man received mo:itty by his wife, he had no right to dispose of it, although there was no settlement binding it. He had no moral right, at any rate, to dispose of it in any way whatever, otherwise than the wife agreed to its disposition. By this act, however, the donor was taking a maintenance from the wife's grandchildren, for they were her grandchildren as well as his. Let any man, he would asy, lay his hand to his heart, and say if such an act cou'd he considered a just proceeding on the part of the grand lither. He should therefore give his opposition to the Bill, in order, at least, to show, by the records of the House, that there were some Members who had felt it their duty to protest against this unnatural proceeding. The Hon. Member then conclud-d by moving, " That Soane's Museum Act be referred to a Select Committee, or to the Judges, for them to report their opinion to the House, how far an Act. of Parliament, declaratory of the intentions of a certain individual therein named, can be taken to be a conveyance in fee of an estate in trust to be here after created by his will, supposing he should omit to com plete the same by his will, or should direct his will to be drawn, when by subsequent evidence he may he proved to have been incapable of dictating or proving of the same." Mr. FIELDEN seconded the amendment. An Hole. MEMBER. said, that as he understood, it was a first principle not to be questioned that a man had an unequivocal right to dispose as he pleased of his property; and when a generoui offer like the present wa , made, it was most ungrateful for the House or far Hon. Members to say they would decline accepting it, while it would be a national acquisition, on the presumed ground that it was unfavourable to the grandcbildt en. In a free country, he would say such a p (weeding could not otherwise he characterized than as one of the greatest and most dange. rous tyranny. Mr. HUME considered it was necessary that the public should not be misled by the statements of the Hon. Mem ber for Oldham, who, he was sure, had been much misin formed, or he would never have made those statements which were so far from being true. The facts were, that Sir John Soane got a large sum of money with his wife. which he probably had laid out in the purchase of part of his Museum, .but what had been concealed was this, that there had been an elder son than the petitioner, who had left a family, upon whom Sir John Soane had settled a sum of 20,000/, Be it remembered that this was to the family of the heir-at-law. He did not wish to say anything that might be offensive, but in justice he must say that the conduct of the petitioner had been so bad, that Sir John bad been prevented from, probably, settling as much upon his family. They might be sorry when family dif ferences took place, but on that account were they to re fuse the whole of the great and splendid gift which was offered to them ? Mr. HODGES said he was upon the Committee on the Bill, and bore testimony to the fact that it was unanimous in their report. Mr. BARING said the House hail never before in quired of any gentleman how he became possessed of property which he had bequeathed to the nation, or whe ther he had provided for his family before so doing. The only question was, would the Huns, accept, in a gracious or ungracious manner, the most splendid bequest that had ever been offered to the nation ?—(Hear.) Mr. COBBETT, in reply to what had fallen from' the Hon. Member (Mr. Baring), said that he never meant to contend that the petitioner had any legal claim. The amendment was then put and negatived, and the Bil! was read a third time. Sir R. PEEL said he had a chute to propose, which might, perhaps, answer the objections of the Hon. Member for Oldham. The t ffect of the cl ,use would be to enable Sir John Soane at any time, after the passing of the Act, to bequeath all his valuable relics to the British Museum, instead of placing them in two houses, the property of Sir John Soane, in Lincoln's Inn-fields. Those two houses, by the el ruse, would thereby be placed again in his abso lute power and control, and also so touch of the Bill as related to the money : he would have the whole control of disposng of the3o,ooo/. and the two houses as he pleased. The expense of keeping up two establishments was unne cessary, and by the proposed clause the expense of a separate establishment would be saved. There were abundant reasons why the public sh.uld not derive any benefit from the large sum of money which Sir John Soane had proposed to place at their disposal. Let the public restore to Sir John Soane the whole power over that money. So far from discouraging such splendid gifts, he was for receiving them, and acknowledging them in the fullest and most handsome manner—(Hear, hear) —and he hoped that F•ir John Soane would consider whether he would not better promote the object he had in view by placing the relics in the British Museum, and having the collection called by his own name, than by placing them in a separate establishment. The clause was then put, and read a first time. On the motion that it be read a second time, Mr. HUME said he highly approved of it, and he hoped the Hon. Member for Oldham would see that it accom plished the object for which he had contended. He (Mr. Hume) could not, however, help thinking that Sir John Soune might still find it tend to the advancement of science, if he still added to the value of the collection by endowing it with 5001. a-year, or any portion of the 1,1001. Sir' S. WHALLEY was understood to complain of having been disappointed of seeing the contents of the British Museum on two or three occasions, in conse quence of having mistaken the days of exhibition, and to suggest that more trouble should be taken to apprise the public when the exhibition was open, and when closed, which might be done by occasional advertisement in the Morning Papers. Mr. BARING stated that if the public were admitted every day, as on the days of public admission, when there were generally more than 2,000 visiters passing through the rooms, it would be impossible for the students to perform their duties. He would assure the Hon. Member (Sir Samuel Whalley) that there would be no difficulty of his admission on any of the six days.—(The Honourable Member dissented, by saying that he bad found difficulty.) If such then bad been the case, it must have been because the Hon. Member went as a casual visiter, and bid not made a particular application to the Librarian, who be (Mr. Baring) was convinced would admit any gentleman who came there for any pur pose connected with science or art. The question of holydays was now in course of consideration—(Hear, hear)—but he begged to assure Hon. Members, that even during those holydays, no foreigner or any person in pur suit of particular information was ever refused ad mittance. Mr. MORRISON was aware that it had been stated that there were 123 drys in the course of each year on which the public were admitted, and supposed therefore his own applications must have been peculiarly unfortunate. Within the last two years, he bad made at least a dozen attempts to obtain admission, but had always called upon a wrong day. He thought that there was another class of the community deserving of equal attention with artists, and those were the manufacturers.—(Hear, bear, bear.) At this season of the year, a vast num ber of persons interested in the manufactures of the country came to the metropolis for the purpose of obtain ing information, and on their account he would, if pos sible, have the British Museum opened every day in the week during the months .f April, May, and June. It was not enough that upon application to the public officers of the establishment those persons might obtain admis sion, because all persons who knew anythivg of the institutions of this country must have experienced how repulsive applicitions to public officers were, when any difficulty could be thrown in the way of granting the required favour. He could not permit himself to lose this opportunity of expressing how extremely grateful he felt to a gentleman who presented to his country a collection of which it stood so much in need. Mr. RARING was understood to say, that the sug gestion of the Hon. Member, respecting the admission of manufacturers would be taken into consideration. Mr. CORBETT—The Hon. Member for Essex bad said, that any person who appeared in a .decent dress would obtain admission on public days; but he (Mr. Cobbett) considered that dress had nothing at all to do with the matter, and that the working orders, who could not affard to appear in what the Honourable Member might consider a decent dress, were con tribitiors to the maintenance of the British Mu seum, although they did not participate in the privilege of admission. He (Mr. Cobbett) would have the British Mu , cutri opened, during the summer, from six o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock at night; nor would he have it closed "urine the months of August and September. Mr. ROEBUCK trusted that something would be done for the purpose of haying the British Museum opened on those holy days, and those days when the working classes were able only to attend it, such as Christmas day, Good Friday, and even on Sundays.—(Cries of "No, no.") He begged to remind Hon. Members that such exhibitions were always kept open on Sundays on the continent. Mr. PRYME thought that if such exhibitions were kept open till a later hour, to a period after the mechanic bad left his work, every purpose would be answered, without resorting to the extreme expedient of keeping it open on Sundays. Sir R. PEEL was of opinion that immense advantage would accrue, if the most public notice possible uas given of the hours and days on which the Museum was open. He knew as a fact, that many persons coming from the country, who were extremely desirous of seeing the Bri tish Museum, were disappointed, because they happened to go there on a day on which it was not open. Mr. HAWES trusted that the Museum in future would be kept open during the Easter holydays. Mr. BARING agreed with the Right Hon. Baronet opposite, that it would be most desirable that a distinct and general notice should be given to the public of the days and hours on which they could get access to the Museum ; but not only during the holyday s would any person applying for admission, either for scientific pur poses, or any known artists, be admitted, but any person from the country, stating that he was obliged to leave town the next day, would find the most ready access given. Mr. WILKS said that as to the Museum being open on Sundays, Good Fridays, and days of that description, he must confess, though he was no extreme puritan—(Hear, hear)—he should be veiy sorry to see any lengths gone to of that description.—(Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER having put the question, the clause was agreed to without a division ; and the Bill, as amended, was read a third time and passed. Mr. HAWES moved the second reading of the Thames Tunnel Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition from the Dept ford Bridge Company, against the London and Greenwich Railway Bill Sergeant PERRTN brought in a Bill to consolidate and amend the laws relative to the retail of wine and beer in Ire!and, which was read a first time. Mr. COHBETT presented a petition from the Pro. testant Dissenters of the borough of Oldham, praying that their places of worship might be exempted from rates ; and for an alteration in the present state of the law as regarded marriage and baptismal registrations. The second petition was from the members of the society calling themselves the National Political Union of the workine'classes, which met at Saville-house on March 27th, 1833, complaining that the whole of the taxes were p irtial in the extreme. They prayed also for a repeal of all taxes on articles of consumption ; and an equi table property tax. The next was from a hair-dresser in Long Acre, against the better observance of the Lord's Day. The petitioner represented that if he was obliged to shut up his shop on Sunday he should be ruined in trade and that the people could not appear decently in the places of wor ship —(A laugh.) The next petition was from James Ragwell, a soldier in the Royal Dragoons, complaining that after serving faithfully his country for a number of years, and having received three dreadful wounds, he was discharged with a pension, which, however, had been taken from him; also a petition from the inhabitants of Wigham, in Kent, complaining of the stamp duties ; The next was from Jo-eph Cliff, of Bradford, complaining of the weight and oppression of local taxes. Hon. Members were quite unaware of the distress which these taxes caused. He himself knew a little of it, and would tell the House of one instance. For the pavement before his house at Kensington he was taxed to the tune of 51. a year. He appealed against that, and threatened to peti tion the House upon the subject. his tax was then re duced to about 31. 10s. The next petition was from Joseph Slow, against the emancipation of the Jews. He would not go further in reading those petitions. He had done his duty by laying them upon the table of the House. There were three, however, to which he wished to call the particular attention of the House. One was the petition of James Dunn, a barrister, who complained of the conduct of some of the Magistrates of Cheshire. He would not now read that one, as he was informed it could be called for, and produced at any fu ture time. The other two were the petitions of the sol diers. The first was that of Richard Newson, which stated that he was a soldier in the 51st regiment, in March, 1831. On the 10th of that month he was dis charged from the hospital, where he had been confined by illness, and on the 13th was desired by the sergeant to show his kit and ammunition. He was asked why his am munition was not wrapped up. He answered, because he had not got the proper paper—that he went to the canteen for the paper, but could not get the proper kind there— that the case was reported to Captain Shakeapear Phillips, who ordered him three days' drill. The petitioner stated that lie had been unable to get the proper kind of paper, when the Captain used some very blasphemous language, and ordered the sergeant to send him to drill. The peti tioner said that such language should not be used to any man, upon which the Captain ordered him into confine ment, from which he was taken to be tried before a gar rison courtmartial which sentenced him to receive 500 lashes, hut General Donn, who was the Governor of Gibraltar, thought the offence so slight, that he mitigated the sentence to three hundred lashes, which he received, and from which he suff•red most severely—that while he was lying in the hospital he reported the case to Lieutenant-Colonel Constantine, who promised that a courtmartial should be held upon Caput n Phillips, but that of that he never heard more—that af terwards he applied for leave of absence to Captain Carnaghie, which was granted ; but as a non-com missioned officer was not present at the time, Cap tain Carnaghie afterwards denied that he had given such leave, and he was reported as being absent without leave, for which he was called before a regimental courtmartial, and (*reared to receive 300 lashes. At the trial he was asked whether he had any objection to the Court, and he being under feelings of great irritation, said " No, nor to that," showing a razor which he had in his hand, having been carried away from the guardhouse while in the act of shaving,—that he was confined for 39 days to the hospital, from which he was sent again to the guardhouse, and again brought to trial, and sentenced to be transported for life—that be arrived at Chatham as a convict, from whence he petitioned the King and was released—that he then was ordered to join another regiment in the North ; shortly after which, he applied to Major Butler, the Com mander for the minutes of the courtmartial—that the Major answered him with oaths, and, in order to frighten him, stated that if he mentioned the subject of the courtmartial again he would be brought before another one, and most severely punished—that be made a report of the case to General Bouverie, the General of the district, who promised that a courtmartial should be held upon Major Butler, but of that be had never heard more. Finding that he could get no redress from superior officers, being at Stockport, he applied to an attorney there to see what redress he could procure for him. The attorney wrote to Major Butler, demanding satisfaction on the part of the petitioner, upon which the Major sent for him, and demanded to know what satisfaction it was,he wanted. Tne petitioner was afraid of committing himself by any answer, referred the Major to his attorney, till at last, goaded on by the orders of the Major, he said, " Sir, you must find it out," for which expression he was confined fourteen days on bread and water; from that con finement he was released by General Bouverie himself, but, however, as yet, had received no redress—(Hear.) The petitioner prayed the House to take his sufferings into consideration, and to investigate into the conduct of Captain Phillips and Major Butler. Af f ixed to the peti tion was the certificate of a Magistrate of the town of Kingston-on-Hull, from which it appeared that the petition had been read over to the petitioner, who had sworn to the facts contained in it. The Honourable Member said he should on another occasion give notice for the production of a copy of the petition, and when that was produced he should move for copies of the pro ceedings of the several courtsmartial. He had another petition from a man who resided in Oldham, named James Rothwell, whose case every man, he thought, must admit to be peculiarly hard. He would not pretend that Newsom did not behave ill, because he thought that a man would not be punished without some motive or other ; but those were severe punishments-500 lashes on his naked back for not having his ammunition wrapped up in proper paper, and 300 for giving a rude answer to an officer.—(Hear, bear.) The petitioner, James Roth well, stated that he had been bred a weaver, but in April, 1812, he enlisted in the Royal Dragoons, and joined his regiment in Spain. He was present at the battle of Waterloo, where he received three wounds, one of whisk he had felt the effects of up to the present period. He was discharged in 1816 with a pension of 9 I. a day for h a wounds, and he continued to receive it until November, 1819, when he was called upon to join a garrison bat talion. Thinking, however, that be could earn his livelihood at weaving, and having then a wife and family, he neglected the call and was struck off the list. The Hon. Member said that when this case should be brought forward again he would compare it with the case of officers who were pensioned. At that period the price of weaving was 11 id. a yard, but it was now reduced to 4id., and he was unable to obtain a livelihood, and lie therefore wi s h e d to obtain a renewal of his pension. He (Mr. Cobbett) and his colleague had applied to the War Office on behalf of the petitioner, and were referred to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, who, it seemed, had some rule laid down that prevented them doing anything in the matter. He had, therefore, been obliged to come to that House, praying for a restitution of his pension. Lord J. RUSSELL felt it necessary to say a few words with respect to the two last petitions. As to one of them, having pledged himself to inquire into the cir cumstances connected with, and as to the other, knowing some of the circumstances himself with regard to the first, trugh not perhaps so well as his Right Hon. Friend near him (Mr . R. Gr an t), b e b egge d t o sa y th a t he had made inquiries at the Hors e G u ards, and the result of which was sufficient to satisfy him that the petitioner bad no ground for the allegations contained in his petition. The petition had been first sent to the Hon. Member for Middlesex, who sent it to Sir J. Hohhouse, and so satisfied Avis the Hon. Member for Middlesex, from the represen tation of the then Secretary at War that the petitioner was totally unworthy of the consideration of the House, that he refused to present his petition.—(Hear, hear.) The statement of the petitioner that he had received :300 lashes for not having wrapped up his ammunition in proper paper was untrue, he had been punished for repeated oo=ta.ncei of gross insubordination ; refusing to obey the orders of his superior officer, accusing him of taking a razor for the purpose of taking away the life of a fellow i.fficer, for which offence he was transported, but that seri tt,eene tn,e guilty he in g of ot found il er i a n c f t i rmal, m o f e I , g r h o : s w i as n u r b e o l e r d a ed . nation H ; e and, in in short, was a man of such a character, that it was difficult to get him to perform the duties of a soldier. The Noble Lord, therefore, trusted that the House would consider that the case of the petitioner was not one that called for the slightest indulgence. With regard to the other petition, the one from the pensioner of Chelsea Hospital, the question with regard to him had be n brought forward at the Board at which he had presided. As the Hon. M ember f or Oldh am h a d state d , t h e pen sioners were liable to be called on duty in garrison bat talions, and to be struck off the pension list, if they did not appear, and could not make out a good case, either of not having been apprized of the call, or having been prevented from attending to the call by some lawful and insurmountable impediment. This was no more than a proper and necessary regula tion—(Hear)--particularly when the House would remember, that this pension list at one time cost the country a million and a half per annum, and now amount. ed to 1,200.0001 The man in question had neglected to attend a g.rrison call, because he was engaged in a more profitable emp oyment, and as there were no grounds for his being restored, the Board had very properly refused to receive his petition. The Hot. Member for Oldham hail endeavoured to show that such would not have been the fate of an officer ; but he (Lord John Russell) would inform that Hon. Member that the proceeding in the case of an riffle, r woidil be precisely the same. If an officer refused or neglected to join any regiment to which he was appointed he would he immediately liable to the Ines of his half-pay. In the past year a case in point had occurred, not in the army, but in the navy, where the principle was the same. That was the case of Capt. Sartorius, who, having been ordered home to join a ship, neglected or relosed to do so, and had been struck off the list in consequence. Mr. COBBETT explained. Mr. R. GRANT did not deny the authority of that House to supervise the proceedings of all courts, and, amongst others, of ceurtsmartial ; but contended that a sufficient prima facie ca , esliout , l he made out before it exercised that extraordinary power. Now the fact was, that in this case he could stare upon his own responsibility that the petition was full of misrepre sentations and distortions of facts, and it would appear that no adequate cause could be shown for the pro duction of the papers alluded to.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Honourable Gentleman stated generally the character of the petitioner, and said that he had been tried by six courtemartial in Aix years. After some further observations in which he defended the conduct of the of.. ficers, he said he thought the 'petitioner had not made out any case calling on that House for an inquiry. Mr. BUCKINGHAM rose, but The SPEAKER intimated that it was already past three o'clock, and it would be better to adjourn the debate until to -morrow. The House then adjourned. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain and Flour were tolerably good last week, and the trade was very languid. This morning there is a good fresh supply. The Wheat trade is very dull, and a reduction of ‘2.s. per quarter has been submitted to, with many inferior par cels left unsold. Barley meets a heavy sale, but tine samples maintain last quotations.

A farmer, much in liquor, somewhat intru. ,ive'y joined them, and was so delighted with their com pany, that in order to enjoy it, he determined to stop all night, and accordingly ordered the boot-jack.
