LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1833. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday "William Guest, son of a notorious receiver of stolen goods of that name, who was sentenced to he transported for 14 years, a month or two ago, at the Old Bailey, was brought in custody before 11r. Haus, by Higgins, a constable of the F division, on a warrant of indictment preferred against him a short time previous to the trial of his father, with whom he was implicated in receiving stolen property. Higgins had been looking for the prisoner for some time, and having watched the house in which he lived, at No. 18, Tabernacle-row, Finsbury, for three 'hours on Friday night, he at length saw him go up to the street door, and let himself in with a latch key. He imme diately ran across the street, and gave three knocks at the door, which he knew to be the signal usually given by those who came to dispose of stolen property. The door was opened by the prisoner, and witness told him he had a warrant to apprehend him. The prisoner bursting int o tears, said, " I know you have, and I suppose they will send me out of the country along with my father." Wit ness then told him that he must search the house, and the prisoner begged he would not do so, as it would be his ruin. On searching the house, witness found some silver tea-spoons, marked with the initials H. E. G., the bowls of which were broken off, apparently with the intention of melting them down. Witness also found a medicine chest, the duplicate of an opera-glass, pledged for Sc., se veral metal seals, and a substantial double-cased silver watch, made by " Robert Fuller,' London," and num bered 13,144, with other property, all of which he had reason to believe were stolen, and he expected on a future day to produce evidence to that effect. The prisoner declined to say any thing at present, and the Magistrate ordered him to be remanded for a week. A maH named John Sheerin, who formerly followed the occupation of a resurrectionist, and owing to the decline in that branch of business became a common informer, appeared to support an information which he bad pre ferred against the keeper of a coffee•shop, Darned Morgan, who resides in James-street, Covent-garden, for opening his house for the sale of ready-made coffee before the hour prescribed by the Act of Parliament. Mr. Alley, who appeared for the defendant, was pro ceeding to take some legal objections to the sunimons,when Mr. HALLS saved the Learned Gentleman the trouble, observing that he should not act upon the information of Sheerin, in consequence of his having compromised a similar case some time ago, by accepting a moiety of the fine from the defendant, who had his own reasons for not appearing before the Magistrate. . . Sheerin was then ordered out of the office, and the case was dismissed. SURREY SESSIONS, FEB. 20. ROBBERY OF LORD SANDON'S CARRIAGE.— George Brent, a respectable-looking young man, the proprietor of a green-grocer's shop in the Waterloo-road, was indicted for receiving a trunk containing a wt iting-ded: and a va riety of other articles, the property of Lord Sandon. The case for the prosecution having closed, the CGAIR MAN asked the prisoner if he wished to make any defence. The prisoner declared his entire innocence of the offence with which he was charged. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter. The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. The verdict seemed to give much s aisfaction. COURT CIRCULAR. Prince TALLEYRAND and the Mexican Minister visitee. Viscount PALMERSTON yesterday, at the Fureign•office. Sir GEORGE STAUNTON transacted business yesterday, at the otlice of the Secretary of State far Foreign Affairs. A deputation of the British American Land Company, among whom were Messrs. RonNsort, GouLD, WILSON, SIIUTER, and GILLESPIE, had a conference yesterday, with Viscount Homo:, at the Colanal-office. Lord JOIIN RussELL and Mr. POULETT THOMSON visi!ed Viscount ALTHORP yesterday, at the Treasury. Viscount MELBOURNE entertained the Cabinet Ministers at dinner last evening, at his residence in South-street. - Monsieur VIGER, from Canada, had an interview with Viscount GOnERICII yesterday, at the Colonial-office. According to accounts of the 6th inst., from the banks of the Rhine a discovery has recently been made •f the: existence" of a! new Patriotic Association among the students of the German Universities.—( Gall ynani.) ROMAN RELIC.—Last week, while a per son was employed in trenching a plot of garden-ground, near Orchill, he came upon an enclosure of stone slabs, measuring about three feet long, and two feet broad, within which were contained a circular vessel of burnt clay, and several fragments of bones, which, upon expo. sure to the air, " fell down like slacked lime." The urn is of very antique make. It has two handles, or ears, and was covered with a lid raised in the centre. and sur mounted with a knob. The brim is surrounded with figures of monstrous animals in bas-relief. It contained a portion of ashes, which are carefully preserved along with the urn.—Fdinburgh Evening Courant. A very painful event has thrown two respect ab!e families in the village of Barrhead into profound affliction, and excited a strong sympathy in the neigh bourhood. Two remarkably fine boys, both about three years of age, who had been out of sight of their parents only a few minutes on Thursday afternoon, were dis covered drowned together in a well. How this melan choly circumstance occurred, no one can imagine. So limited are the depth and diameter of the well, that the one pour little fellow was found stretched across, prevented from falling by the wall on each side, and the other sup ported erect, with his yellow hair floating on the surface. They were inseparable associates in their amusements, and the announcement of the loss of the one, conveyed the first presage to the parents of the other, that he was at least not free from danger. Attached even at their early years by a similarity of feeling, their 'brief and touching history has been closed by an undivided death and burial. —Scottish. Guardian. ANCIENT SHIPS.—The following paragraph if correct, announces a discovery, which will throw the antiquarians into ecstacies ;—" A most striking discovery has lately been made; no less than that of the long anti cipated Port of Pompeii, with its vessels overthrown on their sides, and covered and preserved by the eruptive vol canic matter which has thus anchored them for so many ages. About thirty masts have been found." The chance is, that they will prove to be merely naves onerarier, or ships of burden, which present comparatively few subjects of disputation ; but if a Navis longa of the second or third rate, a !firma, or trireme were found among them, some problems which have long exercised the ingenuity of the learned might be solved.— Scotsman. VIDOCQ is about to establish an information office (Bureau de Renseignemens). The prospectus say: that the post which he occupied has enabled him to know swindlers and their schemes. He proposes to merchants, bankers, &c., who will honour him with their confidence, to give them any information they may wish for, on in dividuals pointed out to him, on condition of an annual subscription of 20f., or 51. for each application. The prospectus contains the following passage :—" I never meddled with political police in my arduous functions, but, having delivered the capital from thieves, I will now purge it of the swindlers by whom it is infested."— Galignani's Messenger. IC having been stated in the " Extraordinary Investigation," which we copied from the London Papers into our Journal of last week, that the own-woman, who had for some years previous to his death been well known to the frequenters of some of the minor theatres by the names of Miss Edwards and Miss Walstein, made his last appearance at the Tewkesbury theatre, a correspon dent informs us that the only time he plryed at Tewkes. bury was on the 14th of June, 1826. On that occasion he performed Belvidera, but proved himself totally inade quate to the undertaking. Two gentlemen amateurs of this city personated Pierre and Priuli, and an amateur of Tewkesbury played Jaffler. The mock heroine was then designated Miss Edwards, and was evidently much older than he has been represented ;he had a marked Irish accent, and 6i, voice wa s so p ecu li ar an d di sagreea bl e th a t the audience frequently indulged in bursts of laughter during the meet serious parts of the tragedy. At Tewkes bury he was accompanied by a female, whom he calltd his mother; and befOre his depai tore he made so pitiable a tale of distress that many respectable individuals liberally contributed towards paying his travelling expenses to Lon don.— Gloucester Journal. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 20. Several Members took the oaths and their seats. Mr. Egan, from the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, presented papers. Mr. Sheriff HUMPHERY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to erect a market in the parish of St. George the Martyr, in the borough of Southwark. Mr. DIVETT obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better supplying of the town of Exeter with water. Mr. ROBINSON presented a petition from the East County Dock Company, Rotberhithe, for leave to bring in a Bill to amend their dock.—Referred to a Committee. Mr. BERNAL brought up the report of the Committf e on the expiring laws. ELECTIONS. Petitions were presented against the returns for Har wich, Carmarthen, and Bristol, which were ordered to be taken into consideration on the 25th of April. Similar petitions were presented from Linlithgow, New Sarum, and the Stirling Burghs, which were ordered to be considered on the 30th of April. _ . This is the last day for the presenting of election petitions. Mr. HARVEY moved that there be laid before the House a copy of the last Commission, appointing Commis sioners to inquire into the public charities, with the names of all officers appointed in that Commission, and their salaries; also for a return of the number of informations filed in the Courts of Equity by the Attorney-General, at the instance of the Commissioners of public charities, from the date of the last returns, with the names of the defen dants, and the objects and results of the informations ; also for a statement of the items embraced in the to o sums of 1,848,2971. and 2,396,9211., as set forth in the accounts of the public income of the United Kingdom that were or dered to be printed in Feb., 1832. The Hon. Member then gave notice that to-morrow he would move that the Speaker be requested to make an arrangement for taking the divisions of the House, and inserting them in the vote-book, setting forth the names of the minorities and majorities, anti that the numbers who paired off might have their names in the Vote-office. Mr. ELLIS hoped that the House would permit him to take the opportunity, of making a complaint—(Order and Hear)—on a subject involving a breach of the privi leges of the House.—(Hear, and cries of " Order.") If he were not permitted to say a word upon the subject, he should be compelled to bring forward a motion.—(Hear.) He had seen with great disgust in the public prints a statement of the majority of gentlemen who voted the other night on the motion of the Hon. Member for Mid dlesex, and those gentlemen were stated to have given their votes to uphold military sinecures. He (Mr. Ellis) voted upon that occasion, but he did not vote to uphold military sinecures. —(Hear, hear.) He voted in favour of a principle which the Honourable Member for Middlesex could not very well explain to the House ; for the Honourable Member's vote was directed against an appointment which had already taken place. When any general measure came before the House, he (Mr. Ellis) hoped to be able to show that he would discharge his duty to his constituents ; but it was falsehood and misrepresen tation to state, that when he gave that vote, and no one knew his intentions at the time better than himself, he gave it to uphold military sinecures. —(Cheers.) Mr. lIUME was aware of the inconvenience of giving Members an opportunity of speaking when there was no motion before the House. The Hon. Member had stated that it was false to say that any Member voted to uphold military sinecures. —(Mr. ELLls—That I voted so.) — His (Mr. Hume's) motion was, that it was inexpedient to remunerate military services by giving them sine cures, and the object of his motion was to put an end to sinecure places, and not to pay the public money under false pretences.—(Hear, hear.) The state ment of the Hon. Member was not correct. His (Mr. Hume's) statement had been that Colonels of regiments had duties to perform ; but the Hon. Member opposite did not appear to know what they had to do, nor did he appear to know what he himself said at the time. The present discus sion was quite irregular, but one irregularity brought on another. In his view, however, every Member who voted in that majority, voted to uphold sinecure offices.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," "No," and " Chair.") The SPEAKER hoped if the discussion extended itself further, which he trusted it would not—( Hear, hear) — the I louse would permit him to set the Hon. Member for Middlesex right as to its not being quite irregular accord ing to his view. - He understood the Hon. Member who first addressed the House did so to notice what be conceived was a breach of their privileges, not by a Member of the House, but with reference to what appeared in the public press, and that the public press, in noticing what was purported to have passed in the House, had attributed motives to some of its Members. There was no doubt that that was a question of privilege, and that it was not dis orderly in the Ilonourable Member bringing it forward. There was no imputation in that Hon. Mem ber s speech upon the Hon. Member for Middlesex—there was no contradiction of what he had said, and there was no vindication but of the honour and integrity of his own motives. The Hon. Member knowing his own motives, had merely taken that opportunity of stating that they had not been fairly represented.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME said the Hon. Member had imputed to him that he (Mr. Hume) did not know his own mean ing. It was, therefore, a personal imputation—(Hear, hear)—and he had felt himself called upon to answer it. The SPEAKER had not stated that the Hon. Mem ber for Middlesex was out of order. Mr. ELLIS said he had ❑o intention of making and• complaint of the terms in which the Hon. Member for Middlesex had made his motion. Mr. COBBETT gave notice of his intention, on tl.e 26th of February, to move that an address be pre sented to his Majesty, beseeching him to be graciously pleased to ()icier that there be laid before that House an account of all sums of money paid from the Trea sury of Great Britain, to be paid to the United States of America, or the citizens of the States in pursuance of the award of the Commissioners in ful filment of the 7th article of the Treaty of Commerce signed at London in 1791 ; together with a statement of the grounds on which they were so issued and raid, and specifying severally the dates of each payment; also an account of the sums for salaries to the said Commissioners, specifying the sum which each received ; and for an account of all payments for the purpose of defraying the charges, demands, and expenses, arisin ,, out of the appointment and proceedings of the said Commission. The Hon. Member further gave notice, that on the 28th of Fe bruary, he would move for an account of the total num ber of actions brought in the five years immediately pre ceding the year 1802, in the Court of King's Bench, against beneficed clergymen of the Established Church of England and Ireland, for having violated, by non-residence or otherwise, the Act of the 21st Henry VIII. c. 13, which were quashed, nullified, or set aside by the 43d Geo. 111., c. 84. Also for an account of all sums of money issued from the Treasury for the relief of the poor clergy of the Established Church, from 1800 to 1802 inclusive.—(Hear, bear, hear.) Also an account of all sums of military half-pay paid to persons in holy orders from 1830 to 1832 inclusive, adding the names and benefices of the military persons showed to have their half-pay since they entered holy orders. On the 25th March he would also move for areturn of the names of all Justices of the Peace in England and Wales and Scotland, stating whether the persons so named, were clergymen, or naval, or military officers, or were in the receipt of any pensions, allowances, or salaries, proceeding out of the taxes paid by the people ; or whether they were issuers of paper which was commonly called Bank notes."—(Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. PENDARVES presented a petition from a place in the county of Cornwall, praying for the abolition of slavery. - Mr. STRICKLAND presented a petition from Idle, in Yorkshire, praying for the total abolition of slavery. Mr. HODGES presented a petition from William Edge cock, grocer, in Gravesend, complaining of the corpora tion of Gravesend. Also, a petition from Gravesend, and the parishes adjacent, praying for the better observance of the Sabbath Day. Also two petitions from parishes in the county of Kent, complaining of the tithe law. Mr- HODGES gave notice that on the 28th of this month he would ►cove for an inquiry into the salaries and fees paid to Justices of the Peace and Clerks of the Assiz s. Mr. FINN plezcnted a petition from a parish i n the county of Kilkenny, praying for the abolition of tithes. Also a petition from the hiliabitants of Burntchurch, in the diocese of Kilkenny, to the same effect. The Hon. Member took the opportunity of expressing his perfect donTiction that unless aere was a total extinction of tithes (PRICE 7D.) in Ireland contentment never could be given to the people of that country. Sir ANDREW AGNEW presented a petition from the inhabitants of Aberdeen, praying for the better obser vance of the Sabbath. Also petitions from the Presby tery of Dundee, Lanark, Ayr, and several other places to the same effect. Mr. WALTER presented a petition from Reading, in Berkshire, praying for the repeal of the assessed taxes. Mr. PALMER had been requested to support the prayer of this petition ; be could not, however, sup port it in all its details ; it was not clear t) his mind that the repeal of the whole of the assessed taxes would he so beneficial to the country, as that part of them which pressed most heavily on the people. In hi, opinion the house and window duty were by far the most fit to be repealed, and were those that would give the most benefit to the country. He hoped the Noble Lord would be enabred, when he brought for ward his financial statement, to state to the House that he could afford to repeal those taxes. Mr. HUME would only ask the Hon. Member how he expected they were to be enabled to reduce the taxation, when they were supporting measures likely to create civil wars in Ireland? Mr. O'CONNELL would take that opportunity of stating to the Government how the notice of their atrocious measures had been received in Ireland. They bad been received with feelings of the deepest disgust, not by those who were called agitators, but by those who were dis posed to uphold the Government of the Marquis of An glesea. An HON. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, said that they had enough of debate on Irish affairs, with out bringing them forward when the question before the House was the repeal of the assessed taxes. He could not support any relief which was only to be given to the me• tropolia. A measure to meet his approbation must he one of a general nature to benefit the whole country. Something must really be done, for the people would not much longer put up with long speeches ending in nothing. Mr. FERGUS O'CONNOR deprecated the idea of discussions, with regard to Ireland, not being mixed up in the debate on other matters. He thought the allusion of the Hon. Member for Middlesex was much to the point. Besides, Hon. Gentlemen should recollect that the question even was only one of taxation, whereas, with Ireland, it was a matter of life and death, and he thought that the representatives from that part of the kingdom would not do their duty, unless they endeavoured, by a side wind, if they could, to defeat the measures in the contemplation of his Majesty's Go vernment. Mr. SHEIL presented a petition from Maidstone, in Kent, praying that martial law might not be adopted in Ire land to enforce the payment of tithes. He would take this opportunity of suggesting to his Majesty's Ministers, the expediency of omitting such pats of Acts referred to in their coercive measure as related to the punishment of whipping —or, perhaps, the scenes which the lapse of 30 years had not effaced from the recollection of Irish men, might be again renewed. He would take this opportunity also of observing upon the statement of the Noble Lord (Althorp) with respect to the amount of Church property in Ireland. The Noble Lord described it to amount to between 7 and 800,0001., but he (Mr. Sheil) believed he left out of his calculation the glebe land,—the 48 parishes which pay ministers, and the surplice fees.— (Order, order ; No, no.) Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said that it was a mistake on the part of the petitioners to suppose that the measures intended to be adopted with regard to Ireland were in tended to enforce the payment of tithes. With respect to dropping the punishment of whipping, the Ho nourable Gentleman, who pressed it, be it remembered, did not want any punishment at all upon the disturbers of the peace in Ireland. Mr. WARBURTON said that, giving his Majesty's Ministers full credit for their good intentions, he could not help thinking that the effect of their measures would be such as the petitioners apprehended. The Hon. Baronet opposite said that these measures were not extended to enforce the payment of tithes. But all the witnesses had told them that there could be no peace in Ireland, unless tithes, as far as their appropriation was concerned, were abrogated ; and the House must recollect that the measures of conciliation did not, like the Duke of Wel lington's Emancipation Bill, meet the whole subject of complaint, but went only partially to work.—(Hear.) The Hon. Member thought the complaint contained in the petition was extremely just, and he could not but con sider the measures of coercion were intended to repress the complaints upon the subject of tithes. He hoped that the complaint coming from Maidstone would be followed by complaints of the whole body of the electors of the kingdom. He thought the measure a most uncalled for one. Ministers' own servants had told them that the measure would never quiet Ireland. If such was the case it was high time for the people of England to turn their attention to the subject, and settle the question of tithes. Mr. O'CONNELL was glad to see Englishmen coming forward to afford protection to the people of Ireland against measures of unmerited severity. He had beard with sur prise many of the statements that had just been made by the Hon. Baronet, the Member for Westminster. He had said that the House was ignorant of the plan proposed by his Majesty's Ministers. How could that be so, when it had been made notorious through all the papers? That Hon. Baronet had also said that it did not give the power to courtstnartial of inflicting the punishment of whipping. In his (Mr. O'Connell's) opinion, no one could doubt but by the measure. Courtsmartial were given such a power. The Hon. Baronet was also greatly mistaken in supposing that the measure was not intended to en force the payment of tithes. Courtsmartial were to be appointed in all proclaimed districts, and could it be doubted that • if tithes were not paid, and disturbances ensued, the district would be instantly proclaimed ? For his own part, he felt no hesitation in saying that the measure was intended to put Ireland under the horrors of martial law for the purpose of enforcing tithes. Mr. BEAUMONT thought, that however power ful the Honourable Member for Dublin might be among the Irish people, he would find he bed but little influence on the people of England.—(Hear, hear.) They were a people that would examine into matters be fore they decided upon them. To say the worst of the present measure, it was a removal of the despotism of the Hon. Member for Dublin for that of his Majesty's Minis ters.—(Cheers.) Mr. RICHARDS accused Ministers of net bringing forward measures that would remove the grievances com plained of in Ireland. A deal had been said aboutagitation, and a great deal too much importance bad been attached to the course pursued by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. That Hon. and Learned Member would seek in vain to agitate the country if Ministers would give to the people of Ireland, what common justice, reason, and humanity required—viz., redress of the abominable system of extorting tithes from a population in support of a Church in which that population was not interested.— (Hear.) He should take an early opportunity of moving for leave to bring in a Bill to invest the tithes in Le land in trustees, for the benefit of the poor in Ire land. He was no enemy to the Protestant Church, nor was he an enemy to tithes ; but be did not like to see them go into the pockets of the Irish gentry. He wished to see them appropriated to the support of the poor, and see a tax laid 6n capital for the support of the Irish clergy. Mr. MAXWELL agreed with Ministers in the measure of coercion they were going to apply to Ireland, but he believed that if it was not to be acted on decisively, there would be no peace, nor any security for property in Ire-. land. He was sorry that that measure was accompanied by one to which he was decidedly opposed—he meant the measure of Church reform--(Hear, and laughter)—which he believed to be destructive of those interests which ought to be held sacred, and which were secured to the country by the Union. Mr. GRATTAN stated that great excitement bad been produced from the belief that the measure proposed by Ministers would invest the caurtsmartial with all the powers that couttsmartial generally possessed, and be should like to know from Ministers if such was their in tention. Lord MAHON rose to order. Hon. Members seemed to have misconceived the nature of the petition altogether. It did not relate to a measure now in preparation, but to an Act of the last session. Mr. GRATTAN repeated his question, whether it was the intention of Government to arm the new courts with such summary powers as be had alluded to ? Lord ALTHORP said, that nothing could be more in convenient than for him to answer questions as to the par ticulars of a measure which he should have to detail when he brought the Bill forward.—(Hear, hear.) 'With respeiCto the powers to which the Hon. Member had , eferred, no power would be given to the courtsmartial, except that which existed in Civil Courts. Whether the whole power now possessed by Civil Courts would be given to courtsmartial or not, would have to be discussed when the Bill was brought forward. Mr. SHEIL ruse to set the House right.—(Laughter.) When he found the misconception entertained by the House, be informed the Speaker of it, and told him that the petition had been sent to him at the close of the last Session—(Hear, and laughter)—and that it adverted to the measures then in contemplation respecting Ireland. Major BEAUCLERK said, that tt.e English people looked upon the proposed measure to compel the people of Ireland to pay tithes by force of arms, with the greatest horror and disgust.—(Hear.) Such a proceeding would throw additional taxes on this country, occasion it the greatest distress, and would have his decided disappro bation. He had lately been informed by gentlemen who had been much in the habit of attending courtsmartial, that, of all the courts that could be thought of to try po litical offences, they were the worst.—(Hear, hear.) If anybody doubted this, be was prepared to prove it at the bar. He bad himself been two days under ar rest for giving a decision, which in his judgment he be lieved to be the best.—(Hear.) Lieutenant (now Captain) Brook, had also been arrested, and kept for a considerable time under arrest, for precisely the same thing.— (Hear, hear, hear.) He (Major Beauclerk) could have broke the Colonel for his conduct, but being a generous and kind-hearted man, and having erred in judgment only in this instance, the offence was passed over._ (Hear, hear.) This he mentioned merely to show that courtsmartial were, of all courts, the worst to try poli tical offences. For his own part, he would rather be tried by any court that could be thought of, than such a court. Not that such courts are desirous of doing injustice, but surely courts constituted of boys, just come from school, or from college, could not be proper courts for the trial of serious offences in an irritated coun try. When Ministers seemed disposed to side with an Orange faction, which had always done its utmost to ruin the country, he would admonish them, before they went too far, to consider who were their best friends. —(Hear, hear, bear.) He believed Ministers had no ill feeling towards the people of Ireland, but if it were true that they were about to bring into that House such a measure as it was reported they were, and should they carry that measure, which he scarcely believed they would—(Hear, hear)---it would be a measure, of all others, likely to separate this country from Ireland—(Hear, hear)—to plunge it into ruin, and lead to bloodshed and to anarchy.—(Loud cheers.) Under such circumstances should such a mea sure be brought forward, Ministers might depend upon his giving it his most determined opposition, and in doing so, lie was certain he would only consult the unanimous feeling of the country he had the honour of being a repre sentative for, and indeed he might say, the general feeling of this country. Mr. ATTWOOD suspected that there would be some thing tremendous in the result of the measures now pro posed by his Majesty's Government. It was stated by an Honourable Baronet, one of the Members for Westminster, that they were not intended merely to coerce the people of Ireland into payment of tithes, while the Hon. Member for Dublin declared that they were so in tended. He very much doubted, however, whe ther there was not something even worse be hind this ostensible purpose. He very much feared that to-morrow the very same measures might be directed against the heart of England, and lie considered it his duty thus early to sound the note of alarm inEnglish ears. Coercion for tithes merely in his mind was unimportant ; the great question with him was, why ther the House would act as a reformed House of Commons and whether the liberties of a great people were to be substantiated and confirmed. It was the ditty of a repre sentative of the people to take care not to forge chains to be rivetted round our own necks.—(Hear.) Colonel PERCEVAL made some observations, after which, Major BEAUCLERK explained. A petition was presented against the return for the South Division of the county of Northumberland, which was ordered to be taken into consideration on the 28th of April. Petitions were likewise presented against the returns for the county of East Norfolk, the city of Lincoln, and Bury St. Edmund's, which were ordered to be taken into consideration on the 2d of May. COLERAINE BOROUGH. The SPEAKER announced that since he had been in the Chair, he had received a letter front the sitting Mem ber for Coleraine, informing him that it was not his inter. tion to defend the petition presented against his return. The order for taking the petition into consideration was then discharged. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the order of the (L.) , for the resumption of the debate on the Sessional ordris was read. Lord ALTHORP then moved the following resolutions : ~ .... " That this House do meet every day, except Saturday, at 12 o'clock at noon, for private business and petitions, and do continue to sit until 3 o'clock, unless the business be sooner dis_ posed of. " That when such business has been disposed of, if before 3 o'clock, or at 3 o'clock precisely, notwithstanding there may be business under discussion, Mr. Speaker do adjourn the House till a quarter before 5 o'clock, and leave the chair with out putting any question for adjournment. " That business thus interrupted be taken up again on the next sitting day, as an adjourned debate, in preference to other business of the same kind. " That if a House be not formed before 1 o'clock for the sitting between. 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock, Mr. Speaker do then take the Chair, and count the House, and if 40 Members be not present, do adjourn the House till a quarter before 5 o'clock ; and in a like manner, when the House is to meet at a quarter before 5, pursuant to adjournment, if the House be not formed before 5 o'clock, the Speaker do then take the Chair, and count the House, and if 40 Members be not pre sent, do adjourn the House till 12 o'clock the next day, unless such day be Saturday, in which case Mr. Speaker do adjourn the House to Monday, at 12 o'clock. " That when a House is formed at 5 o'clock, pursuant to adjournment, the House will immediately proceed to the busi. ness of the day set down in the order-book. " That Committees have power to sit from 10 o'clock in the forenoon until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and have leave to it during the sitting of the House. " That a Select Committee be appointed at the commence ment of each session, to which shall be referred all petitions presented to the House, with the exception of such as complain of undue returns, or relate to private Bills ; and that such Committee do classify the same, and prepare abstracts of the same, in such form and manner as shall appear to them best suited to convey to the House all requisite information respect ing their contents, and do report the same from time to time to the House ; and that such reports do in all cases set forth the number of signatures to each petition. " And that such Committee have power to direct the print ing in extenso of such petitions, or of such parts of petitions as shall appear to require it." He expected that much convenience would result from the new arrangement, but if it should prove otherwise, as it was only an experiment, the House might review their decision. He anticipated that a considerable reduction of the expense of printing petitions, would result from the appointment of the Committee, to which all petitions would be referred. He was aware, however, that this was a de licate subject to deal with, for many petitioners thought they were not respectfully treated unless their petitions were printed. Sir R. PEEL wished to ask the Mible Lord to state, for the information of the House, what he meant to do with respect to one consequence of the arrangement now proposed ? As the law of election now stood, the first pro ceeding of the House on the days fixed for balloting for Election Committees was that ballot itself. If the same rule was to be applicable under the proposed new arrange ment, Election Committees trust be chosen at 1 o'clock, and if one hundred Members were not present then, the House must adjourn, and that day would be lost for all the purposes of public business. Lord ALiIIORP did not mean the plan to apply to days on which Election Committees were to be selected. Sir R. PEEL said that abandonment of the plan in ide a material alteration, and certainly avoided one great diffi culty that must have arisen from its adoption. Upon the ether point, ha thought it would be found most inconve nient for the Speaker to sit from 12 o'clock. All these things ought to be considered before this arrangement was adopted, even though it was said to be only provisional. If a division took place upon this preliminary business, and it should be found that there was not a House, did the Noble Lord mean to say that that division should have the effect of adjourning the House? He doubted the general policy of this arrangement ; and before it could be made to work at all, many others must be adopted. He thought, too, that the proposed plan of adjournment between three and five was bad in principle, and ought not to be ad mitted. Though there might be a large attendance in the early part of the day, they could not depend on again as sembling at five in such numbers as to enable thew to proceed at once with the business. The best plan for forming a House was when the Committees up stair' had terminated. Now most of them would he s itting at one o'clock. He should recommend that if the House did stillt:Cidonlikt'nfiuttretehoef presenta tionastyea. assemble at an earlier hour, of petitions, and that the Chairman of Committees should preside on those occasion , He pm elet red, h ow _ ev(C.r,otlohielepl iliTlVlVSlncjeonti(tiUirrit'lli. with the Right Hon. good order, have been sold at 6 dollars, for eastern markf.ts.

The ships which have wintered at Cuxhaven, have for the most part come up to the city, as well as those direct from the sea. FRANKFORT, FEB. 7.—lt is said that several States of the Confederation, particularly the kingdom of Saxony, have lately caused representations to he made to the Diet, of the necessity of hastening the publication of the new ordinance relative to the press, which was promised ten months ago. At that time a Committee was appointed to draw up a law on the subject, and instructed to use such diligence, that the object might be accomplished before the end of 1832. As this has not been done, and, in the mean time, the Chambers in several of the States of the Confederation have commenced their session, and the question of the press has been already brought forward, the Government will be placed in a difficult situation, unless the Dies previously issues a final decree, binding on all the States of the Confederation. STocxuoLm, FEB. s.—The Supreme Tribunal has confirmed the sentence on Barons V. Dupin and V. Vegesack, and decided that the Governor of the fortress i❑ which the latter shall be confined, shall make a report respecting the prisoner at the expiration of six months, that the 'subject of his imprisonment may be again con sidered. BERLIN, FEB. 12.—. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has arrived here. The once celebrated singer, Elizabeth Mara (whose maiden name was Schmeling, of Cassel) died at Reval on 20th January, in the 84th year of her age. STOCKHOLM, FEB. B.—ln the middle of last month (the 13th) a shock from an earthquake was felt at East Gothland, and also at Dalarue. It is a question whether these phenomena have any connection with the falling in of parts of the mine of Fahlem at the latter end of last month. The inhabitants of that town were filled with terror; the workmen had felt shocks at the bottom of the mine, and loud explosions were heard, probably from the bursting of the rock. All the workmen were ordered to leave the mine. For several days subterraneous noises were heard, and large portions of the mine continued to fall in. The Government has received accounts to-day from Fahlein, which state that the day before yes terday (the 6th) portions of the mine continued to fall in, but in less extent than before. MECCA, DEC. 21.—Here, in the Holy City, preparations are snaking for the solemn expiation of the anathema pro nounced by the Sultan and the Mufti against Mehemet Ali, and the Princes of his family. This ceremony is fixed for the beginning of Spring, and is considered in all Ara bia as the commencement of the Arabian nationality and independence. The &sheriff of Mecca expects from Con stantinople the firman of the Sultan, relative to the resto ration of Mehemet Ali to all his dignities and honours. The hatti scheriff to this effect is to be read in the Kaaba, and the galleries and 240 pillars of that temple are to be splendidly adorned on the occasion. It is also expected that Mehemet Ali will shortly receive homage, as King of Egypt, in Cairo, and of Syria, in Damascus. Such an event is looked for with the more impatience by all the faithful as it will put an end to the ravages of war, and restore tranquillity both to Egypt and the Ottoman Em pire. The Priests in particular seem to wish for it, as they may then expect more numerous caravans of pilgrims in the spring, and richer presents from the new dynasty. ANTWERP, FEB. 15.—1 t blows hard from the S. E. The weather is so bad that the Prince Metternich, which is at Lillo, will not come up to-day. A pilot has beers sent to it this morning. • In future there will always he pilots in readiness, that ships corning up may not be delayed. The Concordia, Captain Kohler, hound to Antwerp, ran aground three days ago near Lillo. Last night a steam-boat, which Commodore Lucas, commanding the Dutch squadron, sent for expressly from Bath, and a gun-boat, belonging to the station, went to the assistance of the stranded ship, and, braving the dreadful weather, by which they were themselves exposed to great danger, succeeded in getting it afloat —Journal du Commerce. The following is the manner in which the Dutch treated Captain Kraeft, of the Swedish brig St. Johannes, which arrived at Flushing on 7th February : " On the Bth the pilot went on board, to ascend the river the next day. On the 9th, in the morn ing, a boat came to inform the Captain that ire was per mitted to go up the river, on condition of being conveyed by a gun-boat—that he might sail immediately, and that the gunboat would come out of the basin. In fact, a gun-boat came out, but run a-ground on a shoal. Meantime the St. Johannes going up the river, was twice fired on by the Panther Dutch corvette, became it was without convoy. The captain stopped, another gun-boat came, and they sailed in company to Fort Bath, the Governor of which ordered the St. Johannes to cast anchor, which it did. The captain of the gun-boat then went and conferred with the Governor of the fort, and permission was given for the ship to go up to Lillo, where it arrived.— Journal d'An vers, Feb. 17. A correspondent has furnished us with an account of a person who recently died and left a destitute widow, a very short time after she had given birth to a' child. The poor woman not being able to pay the fees attendant upon the ceremony, called " the Churching of women," and wishing publicly to express her gratitude to her Heavenly Father for mercies vouchsafed, during a pe riod of nature's difficulty, she went where thanks would be offered on her behalf, without a fee, by a public minister of religion. The parish priest, however, was " not willing that any thing should be lost," and accordingly sent his clerk to demand of the distressed and afflicted widow one shilling for going to another place than her parish church. To this extortion, our correspondent says, she submitted, though that shilling, like the widow's mite, was " all that she possessed." We have had names furnished us, but Loping for the sake of humanity (for we put the name of religion out of the question in this infamous detail) that there is some inaccuracy in the statement, we withhold them.— York Courant. ELOPEMENT.—About five weeks ago, the daughter of a principal inn-keeper, at Bristol, who died some time since, eloped from her mother's house, which is much frequented by sea-faring men trading to that city. Shortly after her departure from home, it was soon ascer tained that the young lady, who is heiress to considera ble property, bad gone off with the master of a vessel, who abandoned it and his crew, as well as his wife and family. The mother of the young lady was quite incon solable, on finding that her only child had eloped ; and althobgh her guardians had adopted every means to trace the fugitives, they were not heard of until last Sunday, when information having reached GILL, one of the offi cers of Union-hall, he proceeded to a house in Warner street, Kent-road, where the parties had lodged since their arrival, and succeeded in finding the young lady, whom he delivered up safely to one of her guardians, and they proceeded by the mail the same night to Bristol. The foiled suitor very prudently made no resistance on the occasion, but relinquished all claim and title to the young lady. It will be quite a new fe:iture in the trade of Bristol to have a❑ extensive coal trade, which, there seems every reason to believe, will soon be the case, and that the coals from the pits in this neighbourhood will actually be hrought into competition with the Newcastle coal in the London market. The effect of the Bristol and Gloucester shire railroad is already felt in this city; indeed the de mand for the coal on the London road as far as Windsor greatly exceeds the supply ; but the owners of the different collieries are sinking new shafts and using every effort to meet the demand with a degree of spirit never before seen at our coal-work , . Our fellow•citizens are perhaps not generally aware that the Coal Pit Heath coal is actually taken from the pits to Keynsham, there shipped, and de livered at the Stone Bridge from the Bay at 6s. 7d. per ton. Until within the last month the Coal Pit Heath owners alone bad sent any coal down the railroad. One other colliery, however, has now laid a branch into the main read, and the quantity carried down the road to Keynshain has increased from 300 tons per month to 2,600 tom per wonth.—Bristol Jounial.
