On the motion of the Right Hon. Gentleman, the orders of the day were then read. Mr. S. RICE brought up the report on the Indem. nity Bill, which was read a second time, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday, the 15th April. Mr. BERNAL brought up the report on the Customs Wharf Conveyance Hill, which was ordered to ba read a third time on Monday, the 15th of April. On the motion of Mr. S. RICE, the . Seamen's Hospital Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. BERNAL presented a petition from Rochester, praying the House to support Ministers in their revisal of municipal corporations.—Referred to the Committee. Lord AIORPETH presented petitions from High and Low Harrowgate, for the abolition of slavery, and from parishes in Halifax and Leeds, for the better observance of the Sabhat) . POPULATION OF CHINA.

LANGTON presented two petitions from pa rishes in Somerset, against the tithe system ; from the Dissenters of Bath, praying for exemption of church rates, and also for the emancipation of the Jews. Colonel HAY presented a petition from Kintor, against the Excise Laws. 11,167,617 1 8,544,451 Quarters ended April 5. 1832 i 1833. 3,8:.5,650 1,251,231 1 3,817,08 1,211:1,870 Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY presented a petition from the beer sellers of Newcastle-under-Lrne, praying to be put upon equ dity with the publicans. Also a peti tion from the Methodists of the new connexion, at New castle, complaining of the grievances to which Dissenters were subject, in being obliged to sub mit to a marriage service of which they did not approve, of having to pay pot r rates for their places of worship, and of the defective state of the system of registration of births and marriages, &c. The peti tioners prayed the House to remove those grievances. He bad great pleasure in seconding the prayer of the petition, and hoped that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite still held the opinions upon this subject that he once had. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that being appealed to he was ready to say that he thought it most unjust that Dissenters should be compelled to contribute to the erection of churches they did not frequent, whilst they maintained their own placets - of worship. He concurred in thinking also that their system of registration ought to be amended, and hoped the Committee now sitting on th tt subject would be attended with good results. As a friend of the established church, lie could not but desire to see the Dissenters relieved of these and the other grievances which they so justly complained of. Mr. R. TODD presented a similar petition from cer tain Unitarians. Mr. BAILLIE presented a petition from Bristol, in favour of the emaneip ition of the Jews. Mr. DAVENPORT presented petitions from different parishes in Staffordshire, for the better observance of the Sabbath, and against beer shops. Also a petition from Burslem against slavery. The Hon. Member also gave notice of a motion for a Bill to repeal a certain portion of the assesse 4 taxes, but in so low a tone of voice, as nut to be distinctly audible in the gallery. The SOLICITOR GENERAL presented a petition from Banff in favour of the proper observance of the Sabbath, but against the Sabbath Observance Bill brought ;(1 by Sir. Andrew Agnew. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman stated that' he most heartily concui red in the sentiments expressed in the petition, and beggeJ to enter his protest against the Bill intro duced into the House, and which now stood for a second reading.—(Hear.) He did not consider that Bill as a measure for the better observance of the Sabbath, but a Bill for putting an mid to all innocent recreation.—(Hear.) He would also take that opportunity of casting off the reproach that had been made against his country—( Hear) — that the Bill bad originated there; it had done no such thing.—(Cheers.) He looked upon the Bill which bad been introduced with absolute abhorrence, considering it totally inconsistent with the true spirit of Christianity, and be trusted that it would never I.e permitted to be read a second time in that House.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SINCLAIR made a few observations, which were inaudible in the gallery. Mr. O'CONNELL hoped that so atrocious a Bill would never go so far as a Committee ; it was subversive of all religious feeling, and be trusted the House would get rid of it as soon as possible, and adopt a far hiss objectionable • it:leisure in its place. Lord ASHLEY deprecated the use of the word atro cious, which had been applied by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin to the Bill introduced by the Hon. Baronet, who was not then present. He admitted that the Bill went too far, and he was in hopes that a l ea s objectionable measure would be introduced, but be felt certain tbat the Noble Baronet who had introduced the 8,11 had been actuated by the bent of motives. Mr. O'CONNELL believed that the Hon. Baronet, •in introducing his Bill, had been actuated by the bent of motives, but he was equally convinced, if it was carried into a law it would be productive of the worst effect. The SOLICITOR.GENERAL was sure that the most pure and upright motives had actuated the Hon. Baronet in introducing the Bill, but at the same time that he gave him credit for his motives, be could not but think that be had committed a great mistake. All that the law could do, was to take care that there was no outward violation of the Sabbath, but that Total Charge Total Surplus 19,64 12,475 153,t;549 127,500 127,500 The Amount of Exchequer Bills issued to meet the charge on the Consolidated Fund for the Quarter ended sth Jan., 1833, and paid o out of the growing produce of that Fund for the Quarter ended sth April, 1833, after deducting 300,00 f./ cancelled by Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, per Act 10 Geo. 4, c. 26 The Amount issued in the Quarter ended sth April, 1833, in part of the sums granted by Parliament out of the Consolidated Fund for Supply Services The Surplus of the Consolidated Fund, Quarter ended sth April, 1833 The probable amount of Exchequer Bills required to meet the charge on the Consolidated Fund, Quarter ended sth April, IEO3 159,055 i 267,798 5,382,700 1 5,650,100 3,684,017 2,894,451 9,067,617 i 8,544,451 4,701,137 2,475,968 2,894,451 i 418,483 1 4,2E32,654 The Earl of ELDON has left his residence in Hamilton-place for his seat in Dorsetshire.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, immediately after the adjournmentsof the House of Lords yesterday, pro ceeded to Stoke Farm, the seat of Lord SErrorr, with whom the Noble and Learned Baron intends to spend a few days. , . Mr. KEAttys TYNTE presented petitions on Tuesday night, from Chard, for the repeal of the personal estate tax ; from Ilminster, for the better observance of the Sabbath ; from Yeovil, for inquiring into the state of the corporation of that town, and from the Political Union of Yeovil, for the repeal of taxes on knowledge. CITY THEATRE.—This amusing little theatre re-opens on Easter Monday, with three new pieces, in which we are glad to find engaged some of the ablest comic actors of the day. True bills have been found against the persons supposed to he implicated in the murder committed in this town twenty-three years ago of PATRICK CHASTY, the drummer.—The trial will take place this week.—Taun ton Courier. ZOHRAB THE HOSTAGE.—A third edition of this o ork, by the author of " Hajji Baba," revised and corrected by the author, with illustrative notes now first added, will be published by Mr. BENTLEY, New Bur lington.street (successor to HENRY COLBURN), on Satur day next. " The best novel th at h as appeare d f or severa l years past."— Quarterly Review. Agents for Scotland, Alessi!. BELL and BRADFUTE, Edinburgh ; for Ireland, Mr. JOHN CUMMING, Dublin. Orders, which should be given immediately to prevent disappointment, received by all booksellers throughout the United Kingdom. " The Sketch Book of Fashion ' is a very entertaining work. ' The Pavilion' lays open the back of th e puppet-show, and discovers the intrigues of a Court. The scene is laid at Brighton, at the period when no fewer than ' three professed imitators of the Royal Patron am bled along the Steyne, three prince regents in coat, wig, bl ac k stock, and cane,—who sneezed whenever it was ru moured that his Royal Highness had a cold, and kept their beds whenever Sir HENRY HALFORD visited the Pavilion.' They were doubtless also (though Mrs. GORE does not mention the particular) all three provided with Marchionesses. 'My Place in the Country 'is extremely clever and amusing. The Intrigante ' shows the way up the back staircase of the world, and is a story of great power. "--Examiner. FINE ARTS. FINDEN'S ILLUSTRATIONS to BYRO? PART XIII. The Thirteenth Part has just appeared, and is graced by a very pleasing portrait of Moore, the poet, engraved by Finden, from a painting by Sir T. Lawrence, in the possession of Mr. Murray. The face presents no indication of superior genius, except in the eye, which is rest less, sparkling, and full-orbed. In other respects the author of " Lalla Rookh" possesses just such a countenance as one may meet with every half-hour in the Strand. The remaining illus trations are landscapes, of which the " Swiss Cottage at Martigny" is the most skilfully and elaborately executed. BRITISH TRADE WITH CHINA.

The other numbers, in the same column, are of individuals, and include all ages and - classes, with the exception, we believe, - of those employed in the civil and military service of the Crown. This statement, contained in the latest edition of the Ta Tung liwyteen, or collection of the statutes of the Ta Tsing dynasty, published in 1825, will probably serve to set at rest the numerous speculations concerning the real amount of population in China. We know, from several authorities, that in China the people are in the habit. of d;minishing rather than increasing their numbers in their reports to Government; and, it is unreasonable to suppose that in a work published by the Government, not for the information of curious inquirer, , , but for the use of its own officers, the numbers so reported by the people should be more than doubled, as the statements of some European speculators would require us to believe.

It commences with the " Chronicles of the Cannongate," and closes with the last of the tales, the " Surgeon's Daughter," which, if we mis take not, completes the 48th volume. As all these illustrations have already appeared, at tached as frontispieces to the different volumes, as they were issued monthly, we shall content ourselves with this brief notice. Their merits are quite enough to justify a separate republi cation in the present form. Mr. Wilkin has just produced two litho graphic engravings of Miss Kelly, in her popular characters of Mrs. Parthian and Lady Savage. The first is an excellent likeness. It is Miss Kelly's old woman to the life. Mental and corporeal superannuation betray themselves in every limb, muscle, and lineament. The story the good old proser is telling, relates, we suppose, to her last attack of " rheumatiz." LITERATURE. BYRON'S WORKS, VoL. 16, LONDON, 1833 Forms a continuation of the Noble Childe's chef d'oeuvre " Don Juan," with the recom mendation, as in the preceding volumes, of ex planatory notes and piquant scraps of criticism, from the pens of some of the noted authors of the day. Numerous Various Readings are also appended ; many of which are not a little inte resting, as showing the eager way in which Lord Byron caught at a smart epithet, or pointed wit ticism, by way of giving finish to a stanza. The illustrations are Cologne and the Mosque of St. Sophia at Constantinople, executed by the Fin dens, with their usual skill and delicacy of touch. EXILE OF IDRIA. LONDON, 1R33. A poem, the scene of which is laid in one of the quicksilver mines of Carniola. The versifica tion is very sweet and simple, but wants strength and character. The introductory portion is the most successful. FAMILY LIBRARY. No. XXXVIL LONDON, 1833. We have already noticed the two former volumes of the Lives of the Scottish Worthies, of which the one now before us forms the third, and shall therefore merely observe that it exhibits no falling off, whether as respects style or research. The most agreeable memoir in the volume is that of James the First of Scotland, of whose imprisonment in Windsor Castle, Washington Irving has given us some delight ful fragmentary details in his Sketch Book. We are here furnished with some specimens of his poetry, which is truly Royal (that is to say, not a little common-place and lackadaisical) in qua lity. Mr. Patrick Fraser Tytler is the biogra pher of the Scottish Worthies. THE BOOK OF REFORM—PORT I, BEING REFLECTIONS, SUGGESTIONS, &c. The writer of this work opens his preface in the most extraordinary manner we ever wit nessed. He says, " About six months ago I published a small pamphlet entitled What will Reform do ?' in which I endeavoured to render the nature and tendency of the Reform Bill in telligible to the slenderest capacity." To this sentence is appended the following note : " Since writing this little tract, the author has seen reason to wish much of it unwritten ; for though tole rably moderate, yet here and there it tastes rather strong of party spirit. Besides this, he has published two other pamphlets, the one, written about two years ago, on the subj , ct of " Colonial Slavery," in a very ranting and de clamatory strain : as, however, he was then only seventeen, he hopes this may, in a measure, apologize for the boyish and tumacious style in which it is written ; and as for the other, he feels most heartily ashamed of it. Should, there fore, any of the above have fallen into the hands of any who may read the Author's present work, he trusts that the sentiments they contain may not be made to witness against him, as be has recanted many of the opinions ex pressed in them, and, he trusts, utterly repudiated the spirit which pervades the two latter, and begs most humbly to apologize to the public for having ever insulted it with such trash." The philosopher, who has now attained the mature age of nineteen, is diffident on the subject of what he wrote six months back, but what he wrote at that enormous distance of time, two years, he has no hesitation in condemning as trash. He was then a mere boy, but now his brow is doubtless wrinkled by thought, his eyes are sunken, his cheeks are pale and furrowed, his grey locks, which still linger upon his ve nerable head are gradually becoming scarcer, and are warning him of th e n ecess ity o f f ort h w i t h giving to the world his " Reflections, Sugges tions, and Plans on the various important Ques tions which are about to be decided in the New Parliament," lest he should drop into the grave at the advanced age of twenty, without specifi cally bequeathing legacies so valuable. But, badinage aside, we regret that the au thor has not waited a few years, as well to ma ture his ideas as to polish his style a little, which partakes more of the slip-slop school than that of a well educated gentleman, even of nineteen, ought to do. For instance, we have him continually talkinp of " th e sma ll est mo i e t y o f influ ence, ' and of " giving the Reform Bill its coup de grace," meaning to render it perfect. Other expressions are here and there used, prow ing him as ignorant of Latin and French, as one might expect from the slovenliness of his Eng lish style. A knowledge of Latin and French is not requisite to enable a man to write ably upon the subject of the ballot ; and the writer would do well to abstain from using expressions, the meaning of which he does not exactly under stand. It may be thought, perhaps, that we are breaking a fly upon the wheel—that a brush with the feathered end of our pen, is what the book before us requires, instead of a severe pricking from its point : it may be so ; perhaps we are wrong ; but we think we see before us the promise of better things—that there is good seed in the ground, which, if not choked up by self-conceit, may hereafter produce some thing that the author need not wish thrown be hind the fire as trash. ANTWERP AND ITS SIEGE IN 1832. LONDON, 1833. The reading public have by this time almost forgotten Antwerp and its Siege ; hence the present volume, which is meant, we presume, to act as a gentle stimulus to their recollections. We have perused it with some attention and can speak, if not to the local accuracy, at any rate to the freshness, spirit, and variety of its details. Two views of the citadel are affixed, and bear the appearance of having been copied from Mr. Burford's Panorama. IRELAND IN THE 19ra CENTURT. LONDON, 1833. To any one desirous of ascertaining the exact number of noblemen's and gentlemen's seats in the north-west of Ireland ; in what state the hogs are in that district ; what are the quality and advantages of its soil, and on what days the markets are held in some of its principal towns —to any one desirous of acquainting himself with these momentous matters, we recommend Mr. Atkinson's present volume. But how, in the name of all that is modest, came he to give it such a sounding, ambitious title as " Ireland in the nineteenth century ?" It is no more a de scription, topographical, historical, or political, of the country of the " seven millions" than Gilpin's Tour to the Lakes, or Cotton's Guideto the Isle of Wight, are descriptions of England. Mr. A. makes a hasty tour through the north-west of Ire land, visits a lake or two, analyses the component parts of a bog, notes down in his tablets the names of some three dozen private estates, with the " messuages and tenements there and there unto appertaining ;" ascertains the exact number of square acres in Lough Earne ; and having accomplished these herculean labours, sets sail for Liverpool, gets his not-book into proper publishing trim, rushes with it to a Liverpool bibliopolist, and behold—a thick octavo volume on " Ireland in the Nineteenth Century !" Verily, the present day is the Millennium—the Euthanasia of book-making. CONSTANCE. 3 VoLs. LONDON, 1833 A novel of the domestic class, pleasingly written, without affectation, and without any attempt at undue effect. The characters are, for the most part, of an every-day stamp, and the hero and heroine, patterns of the most orthodox propriety—despite one or two little domestic fracas, which give a zest to matrimony, and pre vent married folks falling asleep in each other's presence. The best, or at least the most con sistently, maintained character in the tale, is Mr, Kilderby the poet, who does some small verse on occasions, and dies, in vol. 3, page 324, of " an elegy which he had staid too long in a damp churchyard to write." A TREATISE ON THE EYE. LONDON, 1833. The name of Curtis alone is a sufficient guarantee for the excellence of this dissertation, which is as full of facts as a Christmas pudding of plums. At some more fitting opportunity we may be tempted to give extracts from it. BOOK OF THE NURSERY. LONDON, 1833. Capital reading for mothers and wet-nurses, giving a copious catalogue of infantine disor ders, and the best mode of getting rid of them. THE MAGAZINES. (These notices have been standing over for want of room.) THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. Its two first articles chiefly regard Ireland, the condition of which has necessarily attracted the attention of all the periodicals. The United Service Journal, of course, looks at the ques tion in a military point of view. The first article is entitled, " Present Conduct and Disci pline of the Army," and only touches inci dentally upon the question of Ireland, or, rather, of the Irish soldiers in our army, whose spirit the writer describes to be as good, notwithstanding that the exertions of the priests have been unremitting and incessant to shake their fidelity, and every most ingenious means of -getting round them, through' their religion, has been attempted. We trust that the zeal of the writer has led him to place too much weight upon a popular rumour, which, we verily believe, does injustice to the Catholic clergy. The second, " Ireland and the British Army," hardly comes so much to the point we expected it to treat of, as its title gave us reason to hope. There is, however, an allusion to the powers about to be conferred upon military officers by the Irish Disturbances Bill, which, as speaking the sentitnents of a por tion at least of that body, may be worthy of perusal. The writer says, " Very painful and responsible duties, totally at vari ance with military habits and pursuits, are about to de volve upon the officers of the army. That our comrades will bring to this melancholy task not only zeal , patience, and forbearance, but the utmost kindliness of feeling towards the unhappy victims of unprincipled agitation, we may safely assert ; to these they must now add, dif ficult as it proves for men possessed of a kern sense of honour, a sufficiency of impassability to make them perse vere in the straight line of justice, unmoved by the insults and abuse that will be heaped upon them, however well they may perform these new and distressing duties. A consciousness of upright conduct and intention must sup port them ; and enlightened patriots, who know how c l ose ly the interest of the co untry an d t h e serv i ces are connected, particularly since all the great nations of the world have grown to maturity, and come within arm's length of each other, must not allow their opinion to be swayed by the fierce attacks that, in spite of our present unmasking of the enemies' batteries, will not fail to be directed against our order. Justice, at the bands of the army, will be termed oppression; every act of ne cessary severity will be magnified into a deed of wanton We l and Pmaiga" cruelty ; and the me ltdown ao-- A 1ai,,40 falsehoods circulated after the rebell ion in 179°,..t1i in repeated with ample augmentation.

There will be t he clever wet of the Examiner—the frothy ra nt of the 80, 4 07 spouting of popularity-bunting novice s, do w s soporific bathos of the economists." The gallant writer is somewhat intenre his language with regard to the eritici. t courtsmartial his fancy raises; but L t S for ij i that he has a wholesome fear of th em i" or eyes. It is to be hoped the same se l l se oec sponsibility to public opinion WM litary officers within the strict line et Of the other articles we have little to sei' cit il on the artillery practice at the siege of the i n olli of Antwerp, apparently by the same hi-oitor gave the account o f th a t siege in t he TO ber, has the same points of interest bet" f oe professional and general reader which bis on !, excellent article had.
