SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Mr. Baron Alderson observed, in the course of one of the late trials in Suffolk, when he hee.th that the prisoner Lankester, who stood before him at the bar charged with burning a stack of wheat, had justified such an act, by saying, it would make corn dearer and wages higher, " This is certainly a new and very strange application of the doctrines of po litical economy." This remark of the Learned Judges convinces us that he is not in the habit of reading the doctrines of political economy put forth by certain organs of landed " protection." We do not know whether those journals are fa vourites in the beer-shops of Suffolk, as well as on the breakfast-tables of Mayfair. Indeed, we must in candour say we are disposed to imagine they are not. Otherwise we should be compelled, however reluc tantly, to trace a moral complicity between their pre cepts and Lankester's practices. There is no doc trine which the public instructors in question have been more anxious to propagate than the doctrine that farmers ought not to look to increased powers of production for profit ; and indeed that the more they produce, the worse it is likely to be for them selves. They have disdainfully scouted the notion that the native agriculturists should feel themselves bound to create abundance, in consideration of such protection as they enjoy. They opine that the farmers should by no means give ear to Liebig ; that they should by no means study to increase their products and thereby lower prices ; that, in fact, the latter aro exclusively what they ought to consider their Palladium ; and that a rate of prices satisfactory to themselves it is the whole duty of the Legislature to secure them. How far be yond this doctrine are the deductions from it for which Lankester was convicted ? The most consistent organs of monopoly think abundance, entailing cheapness, the great evil to be discouraged and deprecated. So thinks Lankester ; so he expressed to his ad miring associates on the treadwheel. " While on the treadwheel (says the Chronicle Suffolk correspondent), Lankester made such disclosures to some new friends whom he met there, as led to his being accused of incendiarism. The superintendent of the treadwheel was sitting, as they thought, fast asleep. But, if his eyes were shut, his ears were open, and he heard the jokes which were perpetrated at his expense, together with the doctrines of political economy promulgated by Lankester, as also an account of the practical applica tion of those doctrines. Lankester had not only been able to trace much of the misery of the present times to the introduction of machinery ; he was convinced, and tried to convince others, that cheap corn was the greatest of curses to the English labourers. He knew of no means, he said, of raising the wages of the labourers, but by rais ing the price of corn ; he knew of no way of raising the price of corn but by making it scarce ; and he knew of no way of making it scarce so readily as to burn the stack-yards. He was therefore in favour of burning stacks, though greatly opposed to those who set fire to barns and houses ; and if the witnesses and jury are right in what they have said and done, he, to carry out his principles of encouragement to native industry,' and thorough out-and-out ' protection to agriculture,' set fire to at least one stack with his own hand." It is not every one that, like Lankester, has the noble daring to work out principles to their conse quences. The Times has suggested the New Poor-law as the raison sufftsante to the Suffolk incendiaries. This is ingenious and plausible, and lesser minds than Lan kester's might be satisfied with the hint. But that com prehensive intellect was not to be limited in its range to aught narrower than the scope of the whole theory of spricultural protection. To him hsA geaven with bounteous care assigned Energetic nature, and a shaping mind. The shape taken by Lankester's speculations was not haranguing at county meetings, nor subscribing to protection societies—bet limiting agricultural " over . production" by lucifer matches. The impulse of the gentlemen of the Eastern co un ti es ( accor di ng t o M r . Wodehouse), when they can't stand attacks on their interest any longer,—is to charge somebody else with incendiarism. Lankester's impulse, in the same region, has at least greater directness and dash about it. It is, namely, to commit incendiarism himself. But a prophet has no honour in his own county: The presentment of the grand jury described Lankester's act of incendiarism as " malicious." They should have de scribed it as mistakenly protective ; and with that fel low-feeling which marks class-interests, they should have recommended to mercy the practical enthusiast for their own economical doctrines. At least some token of sympathy, surely, 0 Suffolk squirearchy, might have been afforded to the ill-fated translator of artificial-price doctrine into fact— Doom'd the long isles of Sydney Cove to see— A martyr to his crime—but true to thee. STANDARD.—The debate in the House of Com mons last night upon the Irish Charitable Bequests Bill presents new proof, if new proof were wanted, of the im possibility of satisfying the demands of the Irish po litical Roman Catholics by any concession short of abso lute dominion. The purpose of the Bill is to facilitate Roman Catholic endowments by certain changes in the law of charitable devises ; and by the appointment of a Commission, of whom five Commissioners are to be Roman Catholics. Whether this change in the law is such as Protestants ought to approve of is a question open to debate; but that it ought to be gratefully accepted by Roman Catholics, no rational man will dispute ; nevertheless, Mr. O'Ferrall, Mr. Shed, Mr. Wyse, Mr. Bellew, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, and Mr. Dillon Browne made a great outcry, because, forsooth, the titular bishops—whom Mr. Wyse indecently and ille gally called the prelates of " the Church of Ireland" —had not been consulted, and because none of these persons are to be ex officio Commissioners. Now what has that to say to the law ? If the law is otherwise a good law, what matter who was consulted in forming it, or by whom, supposing them honest men, it is to be administered ? The Commission is to be a tribunal for the determination of questions of title to property. And are we to be told that tribunals are to be constituted by popular or by party election ? If this principle is once admitted, we can hardly quarrel with Mr. O'Connell's arbitration courts. toes of Roman Catholic property of all kinds, testamentary as well as other cases, come before the Protestant judges of her Majesty's courts of equity and of civil law. Yet it is not denied that justice is impar daily administered by these Protestant judges. What possible objection, then, to a Commission of charitable bequests, if it were exclusively Protestant ; above all, what objection to such a Commission when five of its members are to be Roman Catho lics ? But, says Mr. Sheil, we object to the Commissioners, whether Protestant or Roman Ca tholic, being laymen. Here the cloven foot peeps out. The Romanist Bishops want to establish themselves somewhere as a legalised tribunal, an authorised corpo ration, well knowing that if they obtain that footing they will soon make good more ground. It is upon this consideration they make a complaint of not being consulted ; and upon this consideration they demand to be placed, ex officio, in the admi nistration of the law. These persons forget, however, that though the State recognises their orders from their church (in which we think the State very wrong), wherever they may happen to be found, the " security" law of 1829 distinctly forbids them, under a penalty, to claim a local jurisdiction, even in things spiritual, anywhere within her Majesty's domi mons. The Legislature, in granting them local jurisdiction in matters merely temporal, would therefore act in direct violation of its own ordinances. It is worthy of observation that none of the British Members who usually support the Romanist party could find front to vote with them last night, and even Mr. Joseph Hume both spoke and voted against them. Considering the Bill as one of mere temporal arrangement, and not unjust in principle, we have no objection to offer to it, and we certainly rejoice at the manner in which it has been introduced. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of July 30.) SUGAR.—Since Tuesday last the demand has been limited for brown, common grey and yellow sorts of West India Sugar, still former rates are generally sustained, but for strong grey and bright yellow kinds a good demand has pre vailed, and merchants have obtained fully former prices. To-day the market was in a quiet state for British Plantation Sugar ; the demand was limited for the scale and pan, and the rates accepted were rather under those of Friday for inferior yellow and brown sorts, but good and fine yellow kinds, of which the supply is small, maintained the former currency, and are held with firmness : at public sale 144 hhds 6 tres Barbadoes were offered ; the better qualities fetched full rates, but mid and low went heavily 6d to Is under the prices of the last auction; fine yellow fetched 64s to 675, good mid and good 60s to 635, mid 58s to 59s Gd, low dingy 37s to 57s 6d, and strong grainy 65s per cwt. The total pur chases are only 450 lihds and tics. REMED.—Prices cannot again be quoted higher for Refined Sugar, but the demand has been good from the home trade, and the supply is by no means large. To-day Refined Sugar was in good request by the home trade ; brown Lumps at 74s 6d to 755, and standard Lumps 76s to to 76s 6d per cwt. The supply is small, especially of the low and middling qualities. For bonded Crushed Sugar prices are again higher, sales made at 26s 3d to to 26s Gd per cwt. The market is still scantily supplied. In Loaves there has been a good deal doing. MACRITIUS.—A. decline in prices of 6d has taken place for good and tine yellow, an d i s per cwt for all other sorts. The principal part of the Sugar offered since Tuesday last has consisted of common and middling qualities. Bass' INDlA.—There has been a falling off in the demand for Bengal Sugar, at a decline of 6d per cwt. 'The market •b as a firm appearance for Foreign East India Sugar. This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with little attention. Fine white at 653 to 65s 6d, good 625, middling 60s to Gls, low yellowish white 598, middling yellow 58s, ordinary 55s to 565, damp brown 50s to 52s 6d, yellow ditto 538 to 575, and white ditto 57s 6d to 65s per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day the market_ presented a firm appear ance for Foreign Sugar. Yellow Havannah was disposed of to a fair extent privately at 19s to 2ls per cwt. Brown Bahia in small parcels fetched 18s 6d to 19s per cwt for good and tine quality. MOLASSES. —West India at 20s to 24s per cwt for low to good quality. St. Lucia taken in at 225. Bengal Molasses sold at 15s to 17s per cwt. COCOA.—Foreign at rather lower rates. Trinidad sold at 40s to 42s for mid to good sound red, 38s 6d for ord, and Dominica at 36s per cwt. This afternoon Trinidad Cocoa at 36s to 37s per cwt. COFFEE.—There has been less inclination manifested on the part of holders of West India Coffee to realise, and they have refrained from offering any at auction ; by private treaty some parcels of clean quality were_ disposed of at fully former rates, but unclean sorts are dull of sale and are offered at comparatively low terms. Mocha has been in I much better request, and in some cases the rates P'ss paid are rather above those of this day week. • This afternoon Ceylon real good ordinary fetched 54s 6d to -• • O.IV 555, good ord 53s 6d to 545, ordinary 535, fine ordinary 56s 6d to 58a 6d, sea damaged 41s 6d to 68s 6d, triage 33s to 46s 6d, sound pea berry 70s to 83s, fine fine ordinary coloury grey Demerara sort 62s 6d to 695. Of„emerara unclean at 67s 6d to 608 for low middli ng, 65s to 75s for middling, and 325 to 55s Gd for very low to good ord, being cheaper. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDs.—For Jamaica Rum 32 t 34 per cent oyerproof fair dm quality at 3e 3d W 36 4d, 33 to 35 over good middling 3s 5d to 3s 7d,35 to 36 over good 3s 8d to 3s 11d, and tine of favourite marks 4s to 4s 6d per gal lon. Leewards at 2s 3d to 2s 4d for proof to four overproof. Demerara 35 to 36 per cent overproof at 3s 3d to 3s 4d per gal. Calcutta at is Ild to Is 1114 proof with certificate.

Geneva is 10d to is lld ; fine, for home consump tion at 2s 8d to 3s 6d per gallon. English Corn Spirits at lOs 4cl per gallon cash. RlCE.—This afternoon the market was well supplied with Bengal Rice, buyers were more inclined to purchase, and the whole was readily disposed of at full prices, middling white fetched Its to Its 6d good bold white lls Gd to 12s 6d, sea damaged 7s Gd to 11 s per cwt. INDIGO.—Since the conclusion of the sale, a good demand has prevailed for all descriptions from the home trade and exporters, and the rates previously established are fully sup ported. MEMORANDUM.—The Christian names of Lieut. Elmsall, of the Ist Dragoons, are William de Cardonnel, not William de Cardonnel Greaves, as previously stated. The date of the commission of Lieut. Henry Saint John Clements, in the 84th Foot, has been altered to Ist October, 1842. Commission by the Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire. First or Queen's Own Regiment of Oxfordshire Yeomanry Cavalry—W. Evetts, Gent., to be Cornet, vice Webb, re signed, July 26. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 30. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. The Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Dissentients Bill was read a third time and passed. The Church Endowment Bill, the Ecclesiastical Juris diction Bill, and the Clerks of the Crown and Chancery Bill, severally passed through Committee, and were re ported. The Metropolitan Buildings Bill also passed through Committee, and was reported. The Privy Council Bill was read a third time and passed. LAW COURTS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE, with some preliminary ob servations which were inaudible in the gallery, moved the order of the day for the Committee on the Bill for regulating the certain usages and practice of the . courts of law in Ireland. Lord CAMPBELL objected to the appointment of prothonotary and other officers by the Lord Lieutenant or his secretaries, instead of their being appointed by the judges of the respective courts. , He would, at another time, move an amendment for the purpose of removing that objection. The LORD CHANCELLOR defended that part of the Bill, which he said was not a new enactment, as the appointment of the prothonotaries had been vested in the Lord Lieutenant. The Bill then passed through Committee. CATHOLIC PENAL LAWS REPEAL BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had been requested by his Noble Friend near him (Lord Beau mont) to move the report of the Committee on the Bill for repealing certain Acts imposing penalties on Roman Catholics. He (the Lord Chancellor) had carefully examined the Bill, and it did not pro pose to repeal any measure for the retention of which there could be the least reason shown. The motion was that the report be received. That motion was made with a view to another—namely, that the Bill be recommitted : and in Committee it would be competent to any Noble Lord, or Reverend Pre late, to state his objections to any part of it. It was a strange objection, under the circumstances, that the Bill was brought up at so late a period of the session ; the fact being, that the Bill had been before the House fur two months, to enable every Noble Lord and Rev. Prelate to examine its details. He defied any Member of that House to lay his hand upon any Act named in this Bill which ought not to be repealed. The first Act was the Act of Edward VI., the Uniformity Act, which required every person attending a place of wor ship to use the Book of Common Prayer, and impos ing upon any person attending worship where the service was not performed according to that book, a heavy fine for the first offence ; for the second, impri sonment for one year ; and for the third, imprisonment for life. He did not propose to repeal the Act, but only that it should not be obligatory on Catholics. Could any one doubt the propriety of that ? The next was the Act of Elizabeth, the Supremacy Act, which enacted that if any one assumed that any person had ecclesias tical, spiritual, or temporal authority in these realm; except the Queen, should for the first offence be punished by the forfeiture of all goods and chattels ; for the second, by imprisonment for life; and for the third by all the penalties of high treason. The third Act imposed penal ties for not attending the parish church at least once a week. Now, how could that law be retained after the Catholics had been emancipated ? The sth of Elizabeth subjected every one who denied the supremacy of the Sovereign at once to a pryer:fur:ire. How could any one say that this Act should be retained in the present times ? The next Act was, that any person who should be reconciled to the Church of Rome should be guilty of high treason. Another imposed the heaviest penalties upon any Ca tholic who should cause his children to be educated abroad. Was it reasonable, that at this time, such a law should be retained ?—(Hear, hear.) Another of those Acts prohibited any Roman Catholic from departing more than twelve miles from his own home, or approaching nearer than ten miles to the me tropolis.--(A laugh.) Would any one say that that Act should not be repealed ? The 35th of Charles 11. disqualified all persons who became converts to the Roman Catholic religion to hold office ; another Act prevented Roman Catholics from having arms in their houses, or possessing a horse of the value of more than 5 /.—(Laughter.) If a Roman Catholic was found to possess a horse of greater value than that, the horse could be seized and sold for that price. —(Hear, hear.) Who would say that he did wrong in repealing that Act ? (Hear, hear.) Now, if his Right Rev. Friend, who ex pressed on another evening some alarm for the security of the Church on account of the proposed repeal of these Acts, would state to the House the reasons which convinced him (the Bishop of London) that any one of those Acts should be continued, he (the Lord Chan cellor) would give up his opposition to it.—(Hear, hear.) He had recommended to his Noble Friend to allow his Bill, after passing through the Committee, to stand over till the next session, in order that it might be seen what the Government would do in the meantime. But if his Noble Friend was not willing to do so, he (the Lord Chancellor) would feel it his duty to support the Bill. The Bishop of LONDON did not wish it to be sup posed that he was opposed to the repeal of those penal laws, which pressed, not practically, but in theory only, upon the Roman Catholics. Apprehensive as he was of being supposed to be a supporter of those obnoxious laws, he was thankful to his Noble and Learned Friend for giving him an opportunity of stating his reason for opposing this motion. His Noble and Learned Friend expressed an opinion that this was a subject which it would be more fitting for tho Govern • silent to take up and consider in the course of the approaching recess. As that was the fittest course, and as their Lordships had almost an assurance from the Lord Chancellor that it would be adopted, he would protest against the measure being now taken up by her Majesty's Government, at the end of the session, without notice, and without consulting any of' those Members of their Lordships' House who were the rulers and guardians of the Established Church, and who ought to be consulted upon matters affecting so much the interests of that Church. Risking whatever imputations might be cast upon his charity, he would protest against the repealing of those statutes, without giving the House time to examine how far that repeal would affect other laws. It was to be remembered that since the Reformation the constitution of this country had been not only essentially Protestant, but anti-Popish. The first time the bulwarks which the Reformation had set up around the Church were broken, was in passing the Catholic Emancipation Act. Their Lordships should beware how far they went in breaking down other barriers. In removing those which it was now proposed to remove, they should be careful to as certain that none more essential to the interests of the Church should be endangered by their removal. He believed that in these observations he only expressed the sentiments of 19-20ths of the Protestant people of this country. There was an Act —the 10th of Geo. IV.— which provided that a Roman Catholic taking an oath therein prescribed should not be liable to penalties under the Acts referred to in the present Bill. No incon venience could be suffered from the delay of this Bill. The Rev. Prelate concluded by moving as an amendment, that the report be received that day three months. Lore! BROUGLLAIVI entirely concurred in the ob servations of his Noble and Learned Friend on the woolsack, and he believed that the repeal of these Acts would add to the security of the Church. Those laws were only retained on the statute-book—were only tolerated for an hour —on this condition, that they should never 'by any accident be put in force. One of these penal nets—the safeguards of the Established Church—imposed a penalty of 200 marks upon any priest saying mass, and 100 marks upon every one who attended mass ; yet mass was said in every part e,2 London every week, every d a y, per h aps, and Catholic churches, some of them of great architectural beauty, were erected in all parts, at the expense of 'she pious in that persuasion.—(Hear, hear.) Would any one attempt to enforce that cruel and absurd statutel—(Hear.) He had only one objectionto thepresentllll which was, that it did not go far enough ; and he lissped that in the next session, the Government would bring in a much larger and more comprehensive I:nee:sure. A Noble Friend of his who was now high in the diplomatic service of the Crown, had recommended to Mr. Canning that the first step towards emancipation should be to do away with all those Acts of prcemunire, which prevented all commu nication with the See of Rome, and to establish such diplomatic relations with that court as were maintained by Prussia and other Protestant countries, on behalf of their Roman Catholic subjects. The Earl of WICKLOW believed from the turn the discussion had taken that it remained with his Noble Friend (Lord Beaumont) whether or not this Bill should pass or not.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Rev. Prelate had alleged no argument against the Bill, but wished it to be postponed, to make way for a larger Bill to which there would be larger objections.—(Hear, hear.) It was admitted on all hands, and not denied by the Right Rev. Prelate, that those Acts were both useless and unjust. He would support the Bill, with the hope that at a future Hetim ehaadmi josrteencr,odmwpriethhsgsnrseia comprehensive emeasu re would be passed. Lord CAMPBELL wou ld r ecommend his Noble Friend to p ers i s t I n the Bill as i t stoo d.—(H ear , h ear. ) pleasure to the precise and accurate stseeeh of his Noble Friend on the woolsack, who had clearly and forcibly demonstrated that those twenty-four Acts ought to be at once repealed. Lord BEAUMONT said that very little remained for him to do in respect to the Bill. After the lucid speech of his Noble and Learned Friend on the Wool sack, it would be supererogatory for him to add one forwardword in ti o support measureof t he if Bill. h e He had see wouldn hernotMajesty's have brought Go vernment taking any steps towards the repeal of those laws. But he had found su pport in her Majesty's Go vernment, especially in the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, who was not deterred by the gross at tacks which were made on him by a public print, sup posed to be a friend to the Established Church.—(Hear, hear.) B u t cou ld i t b e d ou b te d that his Nobl e an d Learned F r i en d was attac h e d to t h e Established Ch urc h , or that he was thoroughly convinced that the retention of those odious laws in the statute book was useless to the Church ? The Right Rev Prelate told the House that there was provided by the 10th of George IV., an oath which would protect Roman Catholics from those acts of pramunire. But did the Right Reverend Prelate know that there was not one Catholic in one hundred who was " qualified," as it was called—that is, who had taken the oath of the 10th Geo. IV. ? Indeed no Roman Catholic ever thought of going to the courts of quarter sessions to take that oath, which they would consider an insult to their neighbours, as if they sus pected some informer would enforce against them those prcrmunire Acts if they were not qualified. The great majority of the Roman Catholics in England and Wales were at this moment liable to qui tarn actions, and the laws which be sought to repeal held out ample pecuniary inducements to the informers.—(l - Tear, hear.) One Act gave a reward of 100/. to any person who should convict a " Popish priest of saying mass."—(Hear, hear, and a TEA.—To-day several purchases were made in Tea; corn-. mon sound Congou cash fetched lOid to Ild, good common 11.1 to Is, and Twankay ordinary is 2d to Is 3d per lb; the market has a firm appearance.

That Act was still in existence, and no one could say when an attempt would be made to enforce it. He would proceed with- the Bill, and trusted that their Lordships would support him.—(Cheers.) The Bishop of LONDON explained. The question was then put, the amendment was nega. tived, and the report received. The Bishop of LONDON, in reply to the Lord Chan cellor, said that he would not interfere in the Bill any further, as he knew, from the way in which it was taken up, that any interference on his part would be fruitless. But he felt fortified in the course he had taken by the coun tenance and approbation of such of his Right Reverend and Most Reverend Brethren, who had attended to sup port him. The Bill was ordered to be committed on Thursday next. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS BILL. The House went into Committee on this Bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY moved amendments, the purport of which was not heard in the gallery. But they were agreed to without discussion. All the clauses, 118 in number, were read seriatim and agreed to, with only verbal amendments in a few. The schedules were then read, and agreed to. The report was brought up, and ordered to be received on Thursday. The Railways Bill was read a second time on the mo tion of. Lord DALHOUSIE, who, stated that the dis cussion would be taken on Thursday. The House then adjourned at Eight o'clock. of thirty per cent., it was impossible that a single article could be exported. He would suggest whether the coopers might not be allowed to manufacture in bond for the West Indies and the colonies generally. If that advantage were conferred the English merchants would, doubtless, give the preference to their own countrymen. After what had been said he should not take the sense of the House upon his motion. Lord SANDON hoped the Government would give their attention to the subject, as it was a very pressing case. After some short discussion the motion was withdrawn. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. The Earl of LINCOLN, in moving for leave to bring in a Bill to empower her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests to form a terrace and embankment, with convenient landing places for the public, on the Middlesex shore of the river Thames, between West minster and Blackfriars bridges, said that he did not mean to press the measure during the present session ; but he was anxious to give Members an opportunity of considering the matter in all its bearings. Sir C. BURRELL opposed the Bill. Mr. MUTT' thought the measure would be an advan tageous one, though he disapproved of many of its pro visions. Mr. HUME said he thought those provisions in the Bill which were intended to effect improvements, would be the greatest possible impediment to the navigation of the river. Sir F. TRENCH said he had been examined before the Committee, and gave his evidence on the belief that Mr. Walker's proposition of embankment had been adopted. Improvements should not be confined to one bank of the Thames, both should be improved equally. A view of St. Paul's should be opened to the river, and nothing could be more magnificent or desirable than such a view would be. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. _ _ HEALTH OF TOWNS. Mr. MACKINNON rose to call the attention of the House to the report of the Select Committee on the Im provement in the Health of Towns in 1842, which states, " That the practice of interment within the pre cincts of large towns, is injurious to the health of the inhabitants thereof, and frequently offensive to public decency." Also, to the report of the Ecclesiastical Com mission, as follows :—" The practice of burial in the church or chapel, appears to us in many respects inju rious, in some instances by weakening or deteriorating the fabric of the church, and in others by its tendency to affect the lives or health of the inhabitants ; we are of opinion that this practice should in future be discontinued." Parliament had been too long neglectful of the disgraceful condition 'in which the churchyards of the metropolis were. Instead of. exciting feelings of awe and rever ence, these venerable graveyards excited nothing but feelings of disgust. He would not mention the names of particular places. They were notorious as they were abominable. Let them view the burial - places on • the Continent, Pere le Chaise for instance, and they would see nothing to offend the eye or the ear, but everything to inspire feelings of reverence and admiration. Was it not a shame that the wealthiest, and in all respects the greatest, city in the world should be surrounded by grave yards so hideous and noisome that it would be disgrace ful to the most barbarous countries? They talked of the march of intellect and civilization, but let them recollect the decent and solemn regard which was paid to the dead in Greece, Rome, and in Egypt. The Right Hon. Baronet would have a great deal of leisure during the recess, and hoped he would devote a portion of his time to this most important subject. He wished to know whether, in the course of the ensuing session, the Go vernment intended to introduce any measure on the subject. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he would not discuss the subject at present. It was a most difficult one to legislate upon. It was impossible to bring forward any measure on the subject, and until he could introduce one in all respects satisfactory, he did not in tend to call for Parliamentary interference. Nothing could be worse than legislating on such a subject by piecemeal.—The subject then dropped. DON CARLOS. Mr. P. BORTHWICK then rose to move for copies of all correspondence which had passed between Don Carlos (or on behalf of his Royal Highness) and her Majesty's Government, relating to certain proposition, which had been made by that Prince, having for their object the tranquillisation of Spain; as also copies of all correspondence which had passed between her Ma jesty's Government and the Governments of France and Spain respectively relative to the said propositions.—The Hon. Gentleman alluded to a question which had been put by the Earl of Clarendon in the House of Peers to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, but he was called to order by The SPEAKER who said that it was quite irregular for the Hon. Member to refer to anything which had occurred in the House of Peers. Mr. P. BORTHWICK said he would bow to the de cision of the chair. He contended that the proposition which had been submitted to the Government of this country by Don Carlos relative to the affairs of Spain had been misunderstood and misrepresented, and in order to show this he called on her Majesty's Govern ment far the production of these papers. He denied that Don Carlos was the representative of despotism, or that Isabella was at the head of a Liberal Government. He could not look upon that country as enjoy ing constitutional liberty, three-fourths of which was always in a state of Beige. Why, he found by the public Gazette of Spain, that lately 147 men had been called out one morning and shot without the form of trial. He would ask when had Don Carlos shown any disposition to withhold constitutional liberty from the people of Spain ? He said that no in steno° of Don Carlos having done so could be found. He (Mr. Borthwick) trusted the Right Hon. Gentleman at :lie head of the Government would not oppose this motion on a point of form, seeing that a principle of justice was involved in it. Lord J. MANNERS seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER looked upon the motion of the Hon. Gentleman as one which had been made merely to give the Hon. Gentleman an opportunity of expressing his opinions upon the subject. He thought that in the House of Commons, when papers were moved for, the Government ought to adhere as closely to matters• of form as they possibly could. The House had before it the whole facts of the case, and he 'did not, therefore, think it necessary to enter more at length into it in resisting the motion. The Marquis of GRANBY said the affairs of Spain were at presentin a state of confusion, in consequence of th e disputed succession ; a propos a l had been made to arrange the matter by a marriage between the y oung I sa b e ll a and the family of Don Hos, and this, he thought, was the only manner in which the contest could be ter minated. Mr. BORTHWICK replied, and asked if the informal part of the correspondence was refused, whether the Go vernment would also refuse that part of it which was strictly official, and which ought to be before the House. This question was not answered ; and on the motion being put, Mr Borthwick called for a division, in which the numbers were— For the motion Against it 33 Majority against the motion —3l FINE ARTS. Mr. WYSE then presented the petitions of which he had given notice of, from artists and friends to art, in London and Dublin, praying the establishment of gal leries for the reception of casts; or the best works in sculpture, from the earliest period to the present. He recapitulated the statements in the petitions of the ad vantages that would arise from such an institution, and alluded to the orderly and praiseworthy manner, in which the people had behaved when admitted into collections of works of art. Such a gallery, if made, ought to be as complete as possible, and contain specimens of various schools and ages, from the Egyptian and Persian, to the Greek, the Roman, the midEeval, and modern schools. Its influence on art would be important and salutary. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleased. to take into her favourable consideration, the prayer of those petitions for the establishment of a gallery for the pre servation of works of art. Colonel RAWDON seconded the motion. Dr. BO WRING thought there was no person in this country to whom art was so much indebted as his Right Hon. Friend, and he hoped the motion would be as sented to. Mr. ESCOTT agreed in what had fallen from the. Honourable Gentleman as to the merit which was due to the Right Hon. Gentleman for the zea I which he ma nifested in promoting the love of the fi .ne arts in this country. He wished to know from the l don. Gentleman whether the decision o`: the Committee with respect to the artists who had been solicited to es :ecute works for the Houses Of Parliament was final ? Mr. WYSE said that the Committee 1 . • lad selected cer tain of the artists whose works seemed to ) be the best, to execute certain works, but the Committee had taken care not to bind themselves to take any one of the pro ductions of those artists.— (Hear, hear.) Sir T. FREMANTLE did not think the House was now in a situation to come to a proper decision on this important subject, and to vote an address t o h er M a j esty upon a motion of which no notice had I seen given. Ile thought the Right Hon. Gentleman Nvl )ulti do better to withdraw his motion, looking at the st ate of the House and the period of the session. Mt. XGLIONBY thought it would lo better that Hon. Gentlemen should be dismissed at once by the Speaker. The Right Hon. Gentleman 'had e of given any reason why the motion should not be &flowed to pass, ex cept the late period of the sessioil and the state of the House. He hoped the same reasons woad prevent the Government from pressing certain Bills whi :eh they had declared their intention of passing. Lord ELIOT did not think that the Ho m. Gentleman had dealt fairly by his Right Hon. Frienc 1 the Member for Buckingham. His Right Hon Friend s 3bjected to tlae motion because no notice of the motion ha d been given, and he had urged that the lateness of the s ession and the state of the House were reasons why the motion shoidd not be pressed. Mr. HUME woull advise his Right H on. Friend to withdraw his motion, and to give notice on the subject for next session. The honour of the cou "dry required that the state of art should receive the sear, lous attention of the Government. Mr. WYSE consented to withdraw his notion, which was accordingly done. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. FOSTER moved for the followint ; addition to the return moved for by Viscount Palm erston, on the 16th of July:—" The number of slave v essels arrived in the transatlantic States since 1814, their names, description .

The persecution of the Opposition press, which for some time had began to relax, has now been renewed vigorously. The Revolucao has again been suspended, and the editor of the Patriota has been clapped into prison without either judge or jury. I regret to say that on Sunday last the Duke of Palmella broke a blood-vessel on his lungs, and still continues in a very dangerous state, though not given over as yet by his medical attendants. The French frigate Adour arrived here yesterday from Cadiz. She is one of the vessels belonging to the Prince de Joinville's squadron, which she left at Cadiz. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has addressed an official communication to his colleague of the Finance Department, stating that he will be able to effect a reduction of about thirteen contos in his branch of the expenditure. A most decided case of Asiatic cholera took place some days ago on board a Prussian vessel in this port. The patient, however, is in a fair way of recovery. The Royal Tar arrived yesterday, at four P.M., from Southampton, with the mails, on her way to Cadiz and Gibraltar. Mr. J. A. Tozer, the British subject, still continues in prison, without any form of trial. —Herald. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a meeting yesterday. The Commissioners present were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Ely, the Bishop of Lichfield, the Lord President of the Council, the Earl of Besborough, the Earl of Chichester, and the Earl of Llarrowby. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 30. (Continued from our Aftern.on Edition of yesterday.) The House resumed at Five o'clock. Mr. lIL ME presented a petition from a body of artists, against the Art-Unions Bill. CAPTAIN WARNER. Sir J. GRAHAM said thi:eWasa,notice of motion on the paper with respect to Captain Warner's invention ; but, as his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Govern ment was most anxious to be present when that subject came forward, and as it was, from particular circum stances, impossible for him to be in his place that day, he would suggest to his Noble Friend (Lord Ingestre) the desirableness of postponing the motion, either until to-morrow or Friday. Lord IN GESTRE said he should, under the circum stances, postpone the motion until to-morrow at five o'clock. POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS. Col. SIBTHORP gave notice that he would, early next session, take the sense of the House, by moving for the removal of the Assistant Poor-law Commis sioners. PORTS AND HARBOURS. Colonel DAWSON DAMER appeared at the bar as Comptroller of the Household, and stated that he had to acquaint the House that her Majesty had received the address relating to the several tidal harbours, ports, and rivers, and that her Majesty had been pleased to return as the answer, that consideration should be given to the subject. THE RAJA OF SATTARA. Mr. HUME moved for copies of all correspondence relating to the deposed Raja of Sattara, which has taken place between the Government of India and Major Car penter, the officer in charge of the Raja, from September, 1839, the time of his Highness' departure for Benares, to the Ist of January, 1844. The Hen. Member said it had been his intention to submit to the House, in moving for these papers, a short statement of the injuries of the Raja of Setters, ; but as he had been informed that there was no objection to their production he was unwilling to take up the time of the Houie by entering into details. Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion. This unfortu nate Prince had long been waiting for justice, and he hoped he would not have to wait for it much longer. Mr. B. BARING said there was no objection on the part of the Company to produce the return. After some observations from Mr. HOGG and Sir T. COLEBROOKE, the motion was agreed to. The Debtors and Creditors Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday. The Transfer of Real Property Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday. THE COOPERS' TRADE. Mr. HUME rose to call the attention of the House to the depressed state of the coopers' trade in Great Britain, and to move that the House would, early in the en suing session, take the petition of the coopers into consideration, with the view of relieving them from their present distress. Great changes had been made in our tariff, and the coopers considered that their interests had been neglected, and their trade in jured. They complained that the colonial market had been thrown open to the Americans, while a duty of 25 per cent. was maintained on the raw material used in this country. It was, therefore, impossible for them to compete with the Americans in the colonial market. All that the British coopers wanted to prevent them selves and their families from being ruined was, to be placed on the same footing with foreigners, with regard to the raw material. The greatest benefit had been experienced by those engaged in the cabinet making trade from the reductions which took place in the duties on mahogany, Amboyna wood, and rose wood. If a reduction took place on the raw material of the wood from which staves were manufactured, he had no doubt the change would be soon beneficially felt by the coopers. Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion. The question having been put. Mr. , GLADSTONE said he was sure the Hon. Gen tleman did not desire to obtain the sense of the House on this subject; and that his wish only was to raise a discussion. He agreed with the Hon. Gentleman as to the hardship which the coopers suffered, and he had doubts of the expediency of imposing a heavy duty on wood, or 4 ekes of articles like staves. He had said that the coopers attributed their distress to causes to which it was not to be properly attributed, and the Right Hon. Gentleman appeared to him to be under the impression that it was owing to the change in 1842, that distress had fallen on them. He would not hesitate to assert that their position was improved by the change in the law which had taken place in 1842. At the time the change was made he had reason to sup pose that the trade were satisfied with the arrangement. He now came to the alteration of the colonial duties and the duties charged on the importation of staves into the West Indies. The parties said their posidon was materially worse since the change in the law, and. to that they ascribed the distress under which they were suffering. But the Hon. Gentleman was 'misin formed as to the extent of that change. The Hon. Gentleman stated there was a prohibitive duty on timber, which was not the case. A. most exaggerated degree of importance had been attached to the change. The causes of distress must be sought for elsewhere. It arose from the falling off in the general production of the West Indies, which had caused a diminution in the importation of staves both from this country and the United States. It arose in some degree also from the decay of the whale fishery, which had been reduced to an insignificant amount ; and another reason fe„ r it might be found in the high price of staves tom th e Baltic. Another cause had also operated 'ag adoptedainst the trade in London. The great brewe rs had t ely a new system of collecting their ensW.,y casks from the publicans, in consequence of whi.ch."Che quantity o f empty casks in the cellars of the aitic-houses was muc h re duced, and that acted injurirp mi s i_ y on the coopers of Lon don. Again, a certain po - 42 'on of the coopering of Lon don had been transferre,d to other places. The trade of brewing had lately c‘sosiderably increased at Burton-on- Trent ; that had affected the trade of the coopers in London; but, a`,,, the same time, the state of the trade was at the preser..4 . c moment not so bad as it had been repre sented ti:l be. There had been a great increase in the unlx"Aation of staves during the first six months of the rTesent year as compared with the first six months of last Year. The duty paid on staves during the first six months, of 1843, was 8,6694, and during the first six months of 1844, it was 15,9001. This justified him in saying that these figures showed at least a revival of trade. Then, as to the benefits to be derived from a reduction of duty, he should be glad if he could re-echo the sentiments of the Hon. Gentleman, and state, that since the alteration in 1842, the furniture trade had revived. The declared value of the export of cabinet ware in 1840, was 78,0004 in 1841 it was 76,0004, in 1842 it was 75,0001, in 1843 it was 80,0001, and during the first six months of 1844, it was only-35,0004 showing a smaller amount of trade than during any previous year, and showing it was not so easy to get back a trade that was lost. The House must not suppose that this question was free from diffi culty. It was not a mere question as to whether, by the sacrifice of a revenue of 20,0001., they could save an im portant trade, but there were other trades in a position analogous to that of the coopers. There were the im porters of wood for the making of packing cases. They paid a duty upon the raw material, whilst foreigners imported their packing cases free from all duty. Perhaps the Hon. Gentleman wonld say, admit all packing-case wood free from duty.— (" Hear, hear," from Mr. flume.) That might be all very well, but the wood imported for this purpose might be ap plied to very different purposes. Now, with regard to the coopers, wood imported for staves might be used for wainscot, and for other purposes. He did not say that was any reason why the House should not take the question into consideration ; but he would remind the House that this was not a simple question on the subject merely of the duty on staves, but that it went into the general question of the wood duties. He hoped that there were symptoms of a revival in the coopers' trade ; and, at all events, he believed that the coopers were not correct in attributing the distress under which they were suffer ing to the continuance of the duties on staves, but that that distress was attributable to other causes which were in the course of removal, and he hoped that the coopers' trade would soon be in a better state than it had been for some time past. Mr. BUTT thought that the question between his Hon. Friend and the Right Hon. Gentleman as to the cause of the distress was matter of, minor consideration; the fact of the existence of that distress was admitted by the Right Honourable Gentleman, and that was the great point for considera tion. He had frequently called the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to the subject, and he had been gratified to find that that attention had always been earnestly and feelingly given.—(Hear, hear.) He ad mitd that this was no simple question. It was mixed up with the question of West India distress, and with a • variety of other questions. Owing to this state of things the coopers hid become Chartists, and if he were a cooper himself he - should have great difficulty in not becoming one. He would take every opportunity of forcing this subjeCt on the attention of the Government. Mr. HUME replied. ' The - Right Hon. Gentleman had not candidly stated the question at issue. The re lative situation of the coopers no w an d the coopers in former years was not the question. His complaint was, that no drawback whatever was allowed on the manu factured article, and without that not one single cask could be sent out of England. There was a shop in the Strand where the cooper's work from the United States could be purchaSed at twenty per cent. under the cooper's work of this country. As long as they levied a duty jesty's Government : also, the number of suspected slave vessels departed from transatlantic ports since 1814, their names, de-R;ription, masters' names, tonnage, armament, number of crew, national flag, whether -empty or with cargo, and what cargo, to what alleged destina tion, and date of departure, so far as these particulars are known to her Alljesty's Government." An HON. MEMBER then moved that the Howe be counted, when there being only Thirty-seven Members present, the House wijourted till to-morrow at Twelv' NEW BRITISH IRON COMPANY' Yesterday a special general meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held at th e office, No. 3, N ew Broad-street. that - Mr. ROUTH, having tak e n th e c h a i r , s t a ted -- a although this was not one of th e genera l mee ti n gs pro vided for by the deed of s e ttl emen t, st ill t h e Directo rs thought it advisable to convene th e Sh are h o ld e rs, not fo r to make any financial propo s iti on t o th em , b u t m erely t o announce to them the progress which had been made In the re-organisation of the British Iron ComPa n Y' the interests of which had b e en transferred to the existing Society on the lath o f DeCeßlbere last. In conclusion he assured th e mee ti ng that lb present position and prospects of the S o ei e ty were of 1 most cheering description. it The SECRETARY then read the report ; by whle - c t appeared that the capital of the C om p an y was fir at 400,0001. in 20,000 shares of 201. eac h, of which 10,375 have been subscribed for as registered shar e '' and 9,625 as scrip, on the whole of which Si. per sbal had been received. The works, miner a l leases, a n a , stock of the old Company were t a ken Itt,: valuation of 200;000/, which was paid on Pi"' 30th of December; 50,000/. of w hi c h had be e e ri a provided for by the first paym e nt on the register shares, and the remainder raised on debentutes falline due in the months of May, July, August, November, and December, 1844. Of those debentures 50,000/ d!l a in May and Jul), had been paid off, besides 14,000/ 1° anticipation, making on the whole 64,0001. The debtv tura debts will then not exceed 86,000/, which will b° provided for by the payment of the scrip shares fall due on the Bth of August and Bth Novembe r • and bY, call of 2/. 10s. on the registered shares, to be mat November or December next ; and by another 0 01 : 5 ,, , the same amount in tile month of April or May, 18 i Considerable progress has been made in reducing t a surplus stock of iron received from the old Company , aP s the Committee feel assured that by adopting a differett, system for the tuture, sufficient means may be realise; from this source to provide the necessary trading eaP its h ; and to defray the expense of putting the works in t i ,"" a . most efficient state without making further eats on t- Shareholders than will be required to complete the meat of the purchase money. In the half-y ea r, el/ o ' 6 r, 30th June last, the make of pig-iron at the Company works amounted to 16,239 tons, which gave an a verag: 4 of 628 tons a week. It is expected th a t b e f ore the e of the year it e ill have increased to 1,000. The reptx.; concluded by stating that the prospects o f th e ComPs l4 were highly satisfactory. The report was then confirmed, and ordered to be culated amongst the Shareholders; and 'after a VOte. rt thanks to the Chairman and Dire c t ors , th e Illee tln I separated. MR. GEORGE STEVENSON.
