They stated a few reasons why it should not pass ; some of those reasons applied to the principles of the Bill, and others of them to particular clauses of the Bill. The Noble and Learned Lord stated that he entirely dissented from the view they took of this subject. He was of opinion, and al ways had been, that it was necessary for the satisfaction cf justice, that persons should be heard by Counsel in cases of felony, as well as in other cases of fraud. Ile should be ready to enter. into his reasons for entertaining that opinion when the proper time arrived. IRISH MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from the Corpora tion of Norwich, in favour of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill. IRISH CONSTABULARY FORCE. Lord EL L E NBOROUG H, seeing the Noble Viscount ( Duncannon) in his place, drew his attention to certain inaccura cies in the returns that had been laid on the Table relative to the constabulary force in Ireland, as it was necessary the returns should be made accurate before they come to the dis cussion upon the Bill. Viscount D U NC ANNON said he had not prepared the re turns, and, therefore, he was not the author of any inaccuracy in the returns, if any existed. The Duke of WELLINGTON did not wish to throw any impediment in the way of this measure ; but the effect of it would be to enable the Lord Lieutenant to raise a force without the control of the grand jury and magistrates. A great part of the expense was charged on the grand juries, and it was necessary to have an accurate account of what these expenses had been under the present system, and an estimate of what they would be hereafter, founded upon the services of the inspectors or chief constables, or any other data they pleased. But it was impossible that this Bill could be allowed to pass, without some fair account of what the cost was likely to be under it. After a few observations from the Earl of WICKLOW and the Earl of RIPON, The Earl of HADDINGTON was anxious to ascertain what the amount of patronage possessed by the Government was. Viscount DUNCANNON—If the return was framed in that way, it could not be the return moved for. Lord MELBOURNE thought the better course would be for Noble Lords opposite to state in what points the present return was deficient. The conversation then dropped. Mr. 0. GORE and others from the Commons, brought up the London Grand Junction Railway Bill. OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH. The Earl of HADDINGTON presented a petition from the Wesleyan Methodists of Whitefriars_street Chapel, in favour of the better observance of the Sabbath. The Earl of WINCHILSEA ,presented several i;tiiions to the same effect. Also a petition from certain medical practitioners, praying for compensation in attending coroners' inquests. Also a petition from Margate for the abolition of the punishment of death, except in cases of murder. SPANISH AFFAIRS. Earl MINTO said he had stated, a few evenings since, as the reason for not producing the letter of Lord John Hay, that he was not aware of the existence of such a document, and the first intimation he received of it was seeing it in the newspapers.—(Hear.) Yesterday he had received a .copy of that communication from his Hon. Friend Lord John Hay, and he thought it only fair to the Noble Marquis (Londonderry) to state, that there was no objection to the production of the letter, if the Noble Marquis thought it desirable ; but as it had already been made public, he did not see the utility of doing so. No light could be further thrown on the subject, than what he was willing to admit—namely, that instructions were given to Lord John Hay to afford the most effective support to tho Spanish Government. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY felt thankful to the Noble Earl. He wished for the production of the papers, as they might be useful as a record in the House, when Spanish affairs were more fully under discussion. He wished for the production of a document alluded to by the Noble Viscount at the head of the Government as lately received, to show whether or not the convention of Elviras had been strictly adhered to in the Provinces to which it related. Viscount MELB 0 URNE—That was a private letter. After the presentation of petitions for the better observance of the Sabbath, the House adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF CO M MONS, APRIL 21. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual time; and, al though there was to be a Call of the House, the Reporters' gal lery was opened. The Strangers' gallery, however, was closed, as on all former occasions, until after the Call was disposed of. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. LANISON presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of land in the county of Hertford, complaining of agricultural distress. CLYDE NAVIGATION. .......- - Dr. BOWRING presented a — petition from the Town Council of Kilmarnock, praying to be heard by Counsel against the Clyde Navigation Bill ; and also a petition against the Glasgow and Forfar Railway Bill. Mr. GILLON presented a petition from the burgesses and others of Linlithgow against the Glasgow and Forfar Railway Bill. WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL. ---- Mr. G. BYNG'brought up the Report of the Committee on this Bill. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. Mr. YOUNG presented a petition from Teignmouth, in favour of the Great Northern Railway Bill. LANARKSHIRE ROADS BILL. On the motion of Mr. OSWALD this Bill was read a third time. FAMILY ENDOWMENT SOCIETY. On the motion of Mr. WARD the Family Endowment So ciety Bill, was read a third time and passed. CLYDE NAVIGATION. Mr. WARD presented a petition against the Clyde Navi• gation Bill. OVER ENCLOSURE BILL. An HON. MEMBER presented a petition against this Bill. NORTH SHIELDS RAILWAY. Sir M. W. RIDLEY presented a petition in favour of the North Shields Railway Bill. LONDON GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. 0. GORE moved the thirl reading of the London' Grand Junction Railway. Mr. YOUNG regretted the absence of all the Members of the Government, as when this subject was last before the House the President of the Board of Trade said, this being the first of a series of railroads which came into the metropolis, he wished for a postponement of a week, in order to enable the Govern ment to consider the matter, and give the House the benefit of that consideration. He was sorry no gentleman connected with the Administration was in his place, in order that the House might know what decision had been come to. Sir S. W HALL E Y said, all the plans had been laid before his Majesty's Government. Mr. W ILK S had a petiti o n t o present against the Bill on the part of Mr. M‘Willi am , a m a gi s tr ate , through whose p roperty the proposed ra il wa y wou ld run , an d w h o had already app eare d before the Committee, in opposition to it. The petitioner stated that a very a c ti ve su p porter o f t h e Bill, an d art Hon. M em b er of that Ho use , h a d app li e d to t h e pet i t i oner ' s wif e , and had same object, I 000 i opposition h ad b e t to been made Bill. offered a sum of 1,000/. provided he would be induced to awnaolvtheerbils,with Subsequentlythe petitioner prayed the House would pause befor oaffnecirthoef they sanc tioned a measure, in the conduct of which such attempts were made to intimidate and seduce private individuals. Mr. TOOKE really thought ' that when a it pro o • ion of sub a nature was publicly stated, th e H ouse should' pause s be tore tore it gate its consent to such a mea sure . Thee allegation Hiltalti6d lit the petition, if he understood it right, was that an Hon. Member of that House had offered 1,0001. indivi dual to withdraw his opposition to the Bill. Theorean little difference in principle between such a p rop osition, very ou and offering 1,0001 to any Hon. Member of th at House fori bis support. Mr. BENETT did not see how the offer of a sum of money as compensation to an individual could be any ground for opposing the further progress of the Bill. Mr. F. FRENCH was opinion that if such petitions were entertained the public business of that House would be very materially obstructed. Mr. 0. GORE was, he considered, treating the petitioner with`great lenity In not bringing a breach of privilege against i him, for making such an imputation upon any H on. Member of that House. Sir S. WHALLEY.—If he, as lie understood, was the 1,111,er alluded to, he would only say that there was not one word of truth in allegation.—( Hear, hear.) , Th e sum had been merely offered to the petitioner as compensation for his property, and the whole mat ter had been mana ge d b y the sur veyor of the Company , and he (Sir S. \V.) i had nothing what ever had to do with it. The proposition been a just, honour able, and liberal one on the part of the Company, alt hough the petitioner had attempted to show that ho h a d sustained damage to a much greater extent. The Bill was then read a third time and p assed._ Dr. BOWRING pre sented a petition from Dumbarton, reveal of the Stamp on New s p apers , praying for the total PILOTS' BILL Dr. BOWRING presented fl Petition from Port Glasgow, boroughs from the operation praying the exemption of certp : lß of the Pilots' Bill. MARINE INSURANCES. Mr. MARK PHILIPS presented petitions from Bradford, in YorVihire, and other places, on the subject of iviar4 i e In - •a CALL OF THE HOUSE. The SPEAK ER having called upon The Marquis of CHA ND 0 S—the Noble Lord said that the House having been so recently called over, on the motion of the Hon. Member for Southwark, he should not feel it neces sary to persevere in his motion.—( Hear.) He would, there fore, move that the Order of the Day be read, for the purpose of being discharged. On the motion of Mr. D. W. HARVEY, the defaulters who had not attended at the Call of the House on Tuesday last, were called over. On the name of Sir C. Greville being called on, an Hons Member apologized for his absence. Those who did not appear, and for whom no excuse was of fered, were ordered to attend as follow :—William Blamire, Esq., Sir Charles Cockerell, Sir Edmond Samuel Hayes, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Sir Robert Heron, Frederick William Mullins, Esq., and Jonathan Peel, Esq., do attend this House to-morrow (this day) 2 • the Right Hon. Frederick Shaw, and Sir John Wrottesley, do attend this House on Monday next ; the Hon. Edward Howard, John Hodson Kcarsley, Esq., Sir Richard Musgrave, Colonel Seale, Sir George Strickland, William Addams Williams, Esq., do attend this House upon Thursday next. Mr. D. W. HARVEY interrupted the calling over of the names. He had no doubt that the apologies which were being made were quite satisfactory, but with respect to the last named Hon. Member, lie had just been informed by a Noble Lord near him, that he was seen a few minutes before looking at pictures in the gallery.—( Hear, and laughter.) Mr. HARVEY again rose. He had no objection to name the Noble Lord who had given him the information. It was the Noble Lord (A. Lennox) the Member for Chichester. Lord A. LE NNO X rose amidst much laughter. He had no desire or intention of being shown up in that way in making the communication, but he could not contradict him. He did not mean to have been brought forward in that manner— ( A laugh)—but it was a perfect fact that he had seen the Hon. Member.—[The Noble Lord here suddenly paused, his eye having caught Sir C. Greville, the Hon. Member to whom he was alluding, sitting on the opposite side of the House, and resumed his seat amid roars of laughter.] The list having been gone through, Mr. HARVEY regretted that his motion should have put Hon. Members to any personal inconvenience ; but he was anxious that there should be no misunderstanding on the sub ject, and that Hon. Members' constituencies should know what the cause of their absence was. He thought it right to say, in order to make the farce of calling over the House complete, that to-morrow he meant to move that the order be discharged. SABBATH OBSERVANCE. Lord MORPETH and several Hon. Members presented petitions for the better observance of the Sabbath. Sir ANDREW AGNEW said it was now his duty to ask leave of the House to bring in the Bill, in favour of which so many petitions had been so often presented—so many indeed that he believed there was scarcely an Honourable Member who had not one or more on the subject. He was aware that the House was anxious to pass to the consideration of other matters ; and, therefore, he would content himself, without making any observation, if there was no intention to oppose the hitroduction of the Bill— Mr. GISBORNE—It is my intention to oppose it. Sir A. AGNE W—That was the third time he had taken the liberty of intruding himself—( Hear)—and he believed the subject was then pretty well understood, and innumerable petitions had been presented, praying the House to sanction the measure he proposed. He should perhaps apologise to the House for his want of ability.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The Hon. Member proceeded at considerable length to address the House, but a single connected sentence of his speech could not be heard in the gallery ; and, if we may judge from the frequent calls of " Speak up " in the body of the House, the Hon. Member must have been inaudible to those around him. The Hon. Member concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for the better observance of the Lord's Day. Sir 0. MOSELEY seconded the motion of the Hon. Baronet. He thought the House had an easy task to per form, because he felt certain that no person would oppose the motion.—(Cheers.) He supported the motion, not only upon private, but upon public grounds. He was happy that any Honourable Member had the courage to bring a subject of this nature before the House ; but it was particularly honourable to th e H onoura ble Baronet who brought it forward, since his former exertions in the same cause had drawn upon him not only opposition but ridicule. It was highly honourable to him that, under such circumstances, he should have persevered in his endeavours to procure for the poor man the unmolested enjoyment of the Lord's Day. And here he must remark, that this Bill especially protected the poor man. The rich man needed not protection.—( Hear. ) Everybody knew the Sabbath was not so well kept now as it was some few years ago, in consequence of the disgraceful scenes of dissipation that were to be witnessed in the beer shop. Those were the sentiments he entertained, and although the majority of the House might be against him, yet he felt the more the sentiments entertained by the majority of well judging people out of the House. He seconded the motion. Mr. GISBORNE thought it was not right that the House should be occupied upon that which had proved abortive so often—namely, an attempt at legislative interference with respect to the Sabbath. He would, therefore, as an amendment, move the previous question. There were no less than 84,000 pages of Bills printed on this subject, all of which had failed, and surely after those repeated experiments, the Hon. Baronet could not hope to carry it. The Hon. Member concluded, by moving the previous question. Mr. O'CONNELL could assure the Hon. Member he did not laugh at him ; he only smiled at some ludicrous verses which occurred to his mind, and which he read shortly alter the former debate on the Hon. Member's motion. If it could be shown that England was the irreligious country it had been described, such a Bill might perhaps be necessary ; but even if it was, he denied that legislation could cure the evil. Mr. O'CONNELL would assure the Honourable Baronet that when he laughed, it was only because a parody on some lines of a well known comic writer occurred to him ; they were these— ,' As I sat in a conventicle, looking very blue, I saw two Baronets, Moseley and Agnew, And one was so pious he hanged on a Monday His irreligious cat, who killed a mouse on Sunday." With regard to the Bill before the House, it might be sup psrtcd with some show of reason, if it were proved that the people of this country were irreligious—but the case was quite otherwise. Mr. POTTER said, as the Hon. Baronet had given no de tail of his proposed Bill, the House could only form its opi nion from the Bills which he brought into the House in 1833 and 1834. Those Bills were highly penal fines, varying from 10s. to 1/., and were to be found in almost every clause. They were Bills of Pains and Penalties, as against the middle and labouring classes, but gave perfect impunity to the great and rich.—( Hear, hear.) Restrictions of every kind were imposed—no carriage of any description, or horses,' could be hired under heavy penalties ; but those who had them of their own, could use them just as they choose.—( Hear, hear.) The public bakehouse was to be closed, so that the tradesman, mechanic, and labourer were to be prevented having a hot dinner on Sundays. But with a singular consistency, a pro cess was to be allowed to be carried on, called setting and superintending the sponge, as it is termed. And why ?That new bread might be placed on the tables of the rich, on Mon day morning.—( Hear, hear.) The sale of refreshments of all kinds, and even of ripe fruit, was rigidly prohibited. Will the Hon. Baronet legislate equally for all classes ? Will he insert a clause $o prohibit the Zoological Gardens being open Qll Sundilys?—( Hear.) Wit', he close St. ,ilame i s • the Green, mild iyde Parks, on the Sunday ?—( Hear.) Vfil ' l he prohibit any gotineiii[ioi cut on Sunday? 1-1;.4, -wilt do no such thing—there ‘.Ol lip martial and unjust, He ( Mr. Potter) would read to gi*t extract from the Right Hon. Baronet's (the Member f:S4' rfa l t i 'Wortli) •-`,p ,, eeli last year, when a Sabbath Bill was before the hOf..fls . — !fe .*44 t' do so because he cordially concurred in it. `;.if it he Wiring f'ot frie )istssible classes to travel by steam to Ric inond OW Sunday, silfrely it isstist he wrong do e_ for us traiYelVih* Olir j Cdrriages fl'ae sass , e da7 lieve that the sleti fife' tie e r'esticf oflk2 riders:l - in this re'svegt, if we attempt to interfere with the loe'oifttion and recreation's of , the poor on Sundays. we shall pursue a cotirst; t:Snsking to cre ate disunion between the upper and lower classes Of goeiety, to introduce a psinciple of inequality into our legislation. To any law proceeding upon that principle I decidedly o b j ect. If you legislate at all upon the subject, it ought to be impar tially, the restrictions you provide should apply equally to all classes."—( Hear, hear.) Mr. WARBURTON opposed the Bill. If the principle were once admitted it might be stretched to an extent equal to that to which it similar principle was carried in the time of Cromwell, and therthy bring both religion and morals into eisrepute. Mr. ROEBUCK objected to de OA It was a hypocriti sal measure. Why not make it a fair and t'ol,rpreliensive so a sae at once, including all classes, without distitoStion ? The Hon. Baronet Enid that his object was to protect a law class of the community. Dtit in this large class he did not inrlude gentlemen's servants. A sertSitit did his master's business M much on Sunday as on any other day, and no gentleman should lay down his own favourite rule of cm - id:lst As a guide for that of others. If they were to legislate at all on the sub ject let them do it impartially, and not force their own servants to work on Sunday. This Bill had been rejected by the House three times before, and if it were brought on again he would move, as an amendment to it, that every gentleman using a carriage on Sunday should be fined 20/. ; every gen tleman frequenting a club on that day be fined 101. ; that every servant sent on an errand by his master on that day be at liberty to inform against his master, and the master to be fined 10/, half the fine to go to the informer, the other to the King ; that every Clergyman using a carriage on that day be fined 1001. ; and every Bishop 21V. ; and that Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens be dosecron Sunday ; and for this he hoped to have the aid of Gentlemen opposite.—( Laughter. ) Lord SANDON said this was not a subject to be treated with ribaldry and abuse. An attempt was made on the other side to separate the rich from the poor, and raise oh this pre tence an outcry against the Hear, hear.) Sir A. AGNEW replied, but was quite inaudible. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the Motion Against it Majority On our return to the gallery we found a desultory conversa tion going on, the greater part of which was inaudible from the noise of Members leaving and strangers entering the House, relative, we presume, to a second Bill which Sir A. Agnew had asked for leave to bring in, for the purpose of giving Ma gistrates the power of altering the Saturday and Monday Markets, so as to prevent any interference with the Sabbath in consequence of their being held on those days. Mr. GisisoalsE and Mr. POTTER complained of the great in convenience which would ensue if market days were liable to be so altered. Dr. rfoWRING contended that under a notice asking for leave to bring in a Bill for the due observance of the Lord's day, it was not competent to the Hon. Baronet to bring in such a Bill as that which he now proposed. Several other Hon. Members protested aginst the Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed the Hon. Baronet could not bring in such a Bill under the notice given. It was a Bill open to all the objections urged against the former one, and to many more beside. If the Monday's market were interfered with, the Tuesday's and the Wednesday's, and the Thursday's and Friday's markets must also be deranged. It would be productive of the most serious evils, if any two or more Magistrates were to be invested with the power of deranging the whole agricultural and commercial transactions of a county. Sir A. AGNEW said, after what, therefore, had fallen from Hon. Gentlemen, he begged leave to withdraw his mo tion.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. D. W. HARVEY protested against the monstrous absurdity and hypocrisy of these proceedings. If the first Bill ought to be brought in, the second ought to be brought in also. It was a question between cattle and Christianity.— (Hear, hear.) He could not understand on what grounds the Chancellor of the Exchequer could vote in favour of the Bill which the Hon. Baronet first introduced, and yet oppose the present motion, for what argument was there in the one case, that did not equally apply to the other? All the markets must be changed, if need be, for the second motion was but a ne cessary consequence of the first. All this showed the absurdity of any legislative enactment on such a subject. Did not this country pay 3,000,0001. a year for a spiritual police, and for what purpose but to enforce on tke minds of the people the necessity of observing the Christian Sabbath, and all those Christian ordinances on which their moral character and spiri tual welfare so entirely depended ? Why, then, seek to put the stamp of law on it ; and, if legislated for at all, why not legis late completely ? What was it the Chancellor of the Exchequer meant by his distinctions—what the inference to be drawn from his speech but this, that so long as the observance of the Sab bath was a mere speculative sentiment, the Right Hon. Gen tleman would be found amongst its supporters ; but the moment it was proposed to interfere with the sale of sheep in Smith field, or of cattle at Islington, that moment the commandments of the Gospel were to be treated as of no more force than the varied enactments of the Mosaic law, and the interests of Christianity were to be sacrificed to the interest of the cattle breeder and the agriculturist 2—( Hear, hear.) Against such shallow hypocrisy and monstrous absurdity he, for one, would continue to protest. The motion was then withdrawn. COUNTY RATES. Mr- HUME presented various petitions in favour of a mQa sure to give to the county rate-payers the power of appoint ing those who were to manage the county rates. The SPEAKER said that it was only in urgent cases of breach of privilege that it was deemed desirable to interfere with the ordinary course of the business. Lord J. RUSSELL entirely concurred with what had fallen from the Chair. Still, if any convenience could arise from the adoption of the course proposed by the Hon. Member for Mid dlesex, he, for one, was ready to assent to it, reserving to him self the full right to state his views when the matter came un der discussion. After a few words from Sir R. PEEL, Lord J. RUSSELL would state the course he meant to pursue. He was quite of opinion with the Hon. Member for Middlesex, that some alteration in the law on the subject was necessary—(Hear)—and he was ready to assent to the Hon. Gentleman's bringing in his Bill for that purpose ; but he did not feel disposed to concur in that Bill being read a second time this Session. Mr. fi UME was ready to agree to the course indicated by the Noble Lord, and would, therefore, for the present post pone his motion. CARLOW ELECTION—BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. HARDY'S first sentences were inaudible, He said he was not koin g to call on the House to try any one twice on any offence whatever. When he had the honour to call the at tention of the House to a bargain which had for some time previously been matter of public conversation, which every body had been inquiring about, which was the subject of con troversy in every place, and of which everybody expected that the House of Commons would take some notice, he said that he had previously declared his intention to bring the matter forward, if no one else more competent to deal with it would take it up. He accordingly brought the matter forward. It was with the assent of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin referred to a Committee. The Committee took the subject into their consideration ; the Committee made their re port ; and to the circumstances stated in that report he now felt it his duty to request their attention. That report, so far as he could understand it, and he trusted it was in language sufficiently plain for any man to understand, called the atten tion of the House to certain points of the case which had been before it, and in so doing stated that which was quite sufficient for his purpose, so far as the first reso lution of which he had .given notice to the House was con cerned. As to the agreement concluded between the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin and Mr. Raphael, the Committee reported as follows :—" It appears that Mr. O'Connell addressed a letter, bearing date the Ist of June, 1835, to Mr. Raphael, in which an agreement for Mr. Ra phael's return for the county of Carlow for 2,0001. was con cluded." Therefore, if the House adopted the same view of the case as the Committee, they must agree in the first reso lution which he would submit to them ; because it now ap peared, after the fullest investigation, the Committee treated the charge of trafficking as proved, at least to this extent, that an agreement was actually concluded between the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin and Mr. Raphael. The House, therefore, had now before it the agreement for a sale of a seat to Mr. Raphael of 2,000/.—(Cries of " No, no")--and if that were not a breach of the privileges of the House, he was yet to learn what was a breach of privilege. If any doubt whatever remained on the subject it was only necessary to look to the evidence of Mr. Vigors, who was examined before the Committee, and who was himself a party peculiarly impli cated in the transaction, to be satisfied that the agreement was concluded. Mr. Vigors said, in answer to a question that was put to him— " • Mr. Raphael acquiesced, as far as I understood, in the jus ticed of thos e t erms ; b ut h e seemed still to hesitate, and he said he wished t o consu l t hi s f r i ends ; and upon my stating that_ i I , e must determin e , f or t h at I must have an answer within a , da) ! that I had not four -and -twenty hours to remain in town,l asked him th en w h at f r i ends he wished to consult, an d he im mediately mentioned his friend Mr. O'Connell. , I acquiesced in the justice of his choice, and I said that Mr. 0 Co a 11 n tt n er to be exactly the man to whom I should wish the 0 submitted. I left him then, under the i m pr w es h sio le n d in t it ha d t el l ) i e e n u d ea d s to leave the whole matter to Mr. O'Connell,.. a enthely on following up this negociation with .; ',' lr. O'Connell whether he was to be our candidate or . not."
