THE SUN. LONDON. THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1539. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Courier of this evening, alluding to the prospects of Toryism as being revived by the blundering of their adversaries, says—" The lot of the Tories is, notwith standing all these adverse points a singularly lucky one. Their adversaries, Whig and Radical, are evermore, by accident or by design, taking some course or making some slip, that seems peculiarly calculated to render them timely support, or to revive their drooping hopes of success. The Ministerial deficiencies which we yesterday recognised and lamented, seem—for example—especially devised and created for Tory advantage. Wbo and what, within the wide range of the British empire, can by possibility be b ‘nefited by such prejudices and timidities, but Tories and Toryism Turn from Whigs to Radicals, and what else do we see ? What meet us there, but proofs the most positive that there is no good luck stirring ' but what lights' on Tory shoulders I" The Globe, recurring to the subject of Lord John Rus. sell's speech in the Commons on Tuesday night, observes— " There is no mystification,' and there is no finality' secret influence. There is the simple fact, that Lord John Russell, though friendly to progressive improvements, will not abandon the basis of the first Reform Bill to effect a second one. There is the other simple fact, that if Lord John Russell would make this abandonment, the moderate section of his supporters would, to a man, leave him alone in his glory. The Ministerial Leader's statement of his own meaning was a perfectly clear one, and was not, we believe, so displeasing to that section of independent Mem bers whose views may be considered to have been repre sented by Mr. Warburton, as the silence after Sir R. Peel's inj irious commentary." I'he Standard contains the following absurd paragraph in a leading article on the subject of the Ministry :—" We believe that the Parliament will be dissolved before Mid summer day, and an attempt made to obtain a Radical House. Let no man be incredulous because of the extra vagant absurdity of the surmised project. The efficient Prime Ministerat present is the Marchioness of Normanby ; and with her mans of information, she may be well enough excused for believing that the people will suppdrt her Go. vernment; or, if she listens to her husband's representa. tions, she is still more likely to miscalculate. It is impos sible for any one to reflect upon Lord Normanby's acts and demeanour in Jamaica and in Ireland, and to read his wretched novels, without coming to the conclusion that he is, as the Rev. Sydney Smith would say, a 'regular fool.' " MPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. Mr. MACAULEY was introduced by the Attorney- General and the Lord Advocate, and took the oaths and his seat for Edinburgh. NOTTINGHAM INCLOSURE BILL. On the motion of Sir R. FERGUSON, the West Croft (Nottingham) Inclosure and Canal Bill, and the Nottingham Common Fields Inclosure Bill were read a third time and passed. The Report of the Committee on the Almsworthy (Somerset) Inclosure Bill was brought up. HULL DOCKS BILL. On the Motion of Sir W. JAMES, the Standing Orders were dispensed with in the case of the Hull Docks Bill, after a few words from Mr. Hutt and Mr. Green. COMMERCIAL RAILWAY BILL. Mr. PRYME brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the Commercial (London and Blackwell) Railway Bill. WHITE LEAD COMPANY'S BILL. On the motion of Sir M. WOOD, the White Lead Company's Bill was read a third time and passed. LONDON BRIDGE APPROACHES BILL. Mr. HERRIES moved the third reading of the London Bridge Approaches Bill. Sir R. INGLIS objected to the Bill because its provisions had no relation to its title. He could not agree to the destruction of the Church of St. Bartho lomew, Exchange. He agreed that the tower should be pulled down, because it was necessary for making a proper thoroughfare, but gave a most unwilling assent. But he could not consent that consecrated ground should further be unnecessarily trespassed upon for the purposes of traffic. He admitted that the Bill had the sanction of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London ; not however the authority even of these Right Rev. Prelates would induce him to allow such desecration of sacred edifices, which had been car ried to a great extent within the last half century. He therefore moved the omission of the words " affecting the Church in question."_ Mr. HERMES said he was not at all surprised at the opposition of the Hon. Baronet, because such opposition was natural enough for those who were attached to the Established Church, and who had not carefully investigated the subject as the Committee had who had sanctioned the Bill. His Hon. Friend bad greatly overrated the importance of the church in question. Though technically this was a private Bill, it was in truth a public one, because the improvements proposed to be made were all to be effected by a charge upon the funds of the Corporation of London. Mr. PATTERSON supported the Bill. Lord DUNGANNON thought the precedent con tained in the present Bill was ars extremely dangerous one:: It was a dangerous power to confide to any party to authorise them to demolish the whole of the sacred edi fice, and he should certainly object to it. Mr. SHEPHERD contended that the pulling down of a church for such a purpose and under such circum stances would be fatal to the best interests of the country. Mr. ESTCOURT thought the propositon a most 'monstrous one. When they had evidence on all hands that there was a vast deal of church accommodation re quired in the metropolis, it was most injurious to pro pose such a thing. Lord EASTNOR opposed the Bill. Sir R. INGLIS said that as the Bill proposed to destroy one of the City Churches, he should oppose it, but would not press the matter to a division. Lord DUNGANNON thought that this Bill went to establish a precedent of so serious a nature, that he should certainly divide the House against it. He moved that it be read a third time that day six months. The House then divided, when there appeared : For the third reading Against it Majority in favour of the Bill ... 49 The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Mr. WODEHOUSE moved the third reading of the Norwich Tonnage Bill.—Agreed to. • Mr. DARBY presented a petition from Brighton against the Government plan of national education. Air. Sergeant JACKSON presented a petition from a parish in the county of Roscommon against the na tional system of education. DUTIES ON COLONIAL TIMBER. _. ----- Mr. VILLIERS gave notice that on the 20th inst. he should call the attention of the House to the duties levied on coloni a l timber. Mr. MACKINNOg gave notice that he should to morrow move that the name of Mr. W. Harvey be added to the Select Committee on the County Courts Bill. THE LATE DISTURBANCES. On the motion of Mr'. ESTCOURT, an address was agreed upon to her Majesty, for a return of the correspondence which had taken place between Lord J. Russell and certain Lords Lieutenant of Counties, &c., relating to th• late disturbances. CATHOLIC DISABILITIES. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that on Tuesday the 11th, he should move for leave to bring in 'a Bill to enable Catholics to practise in the Spiritual Courts in Ireland, and to hold the office of Lord Chancellor in that country. Lortl, and from the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth, if either of them would offer any opposi tion to emotion for an address to the Crown, praying that copies of the correspondence which had passed between her Majesty and the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth, and which that Right Hon. Baronet had read to the House should be laid on the table of that House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL should certainly oppose such a motion. Mr. W AKLEY would then give notice that he should shortly bring this matter before the House, and that he should move that this House do present an humble address to her Majesty, that she would be gra ciously pleased to order that there should be laid before this House copies of the correspondence which had passed between her Majesty and the Right Hon. Ba ronet the Member for Tamworth, and which her Ma jesty had been graciously pleased to permit that Right lion. Baronet to read to the House on the 14th of May last. We understood the Hon. Gentlemen afterwards to state that he intended to bring forward his motion on the II th of June. IRISH RAILWAYS. Mr. BARRON wished to ask when it was the in .ention of the Government to bring the subject of Irish Railways again before the House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not at present fix a dab, although he had been very anxious to do so. ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS. Sir R. INGLIS begged to put a question to the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Home Department. A certain address had been presented to the High She riff of the County of Mayo, the first name to which was that of the Lord Lieutenant of the County.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The next, as reported in the Freeman's Journal, was " John Archbishop of Tuam." He would take no notice of the third signature, tnd would give no opinion upon it ; but he wished to ask whether the Noble Lord had intended the Attorney-General for Ireland to take ally proceedings in consequence of the assumption of that title, in reference to the clause in the Roman Catholic Act, which prohibited Roman Catholic Prelates from assuming the titles of Protestant dignitaries ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL bad not seen the requi sition to which the lion. Baronet had alluded ; but in answer to the question put to him, he would state that the Government had not given any directions to the Attorney-General, nor had they communicated with the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on the subject, and without there was an absolutenecess,ity for so doing he should not thi n k i t necessary to take any steps in re ference to it. On an occasion when an application was sent to him by a person acting on the behalf of Dr. asking that certain petitions should be laid before his late Majesty, that individual had taken the title of Archbishop of Tuam, and he (Lord John Russell) im mediately wrote to him, stating that he could not pre sent the petition to his Majesty as he had assumed that title.—( Hear, hear, from the Conservatives.) Therefore, whenever it came before him officially he would entirely deny that Dr. M'Hale had any right to assume that title ; but he could not agree in the pro priety or expediency of instituting prosecutions on such a subject.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL did not know whether the Noble Lord was aware that there was no such clause as that stated by the Hon. Baronet. The clause prohibited others from giving any Roman Catholic that dignity, but it did not prevent him taking it himself.—(Laughter.) Lord J. RULSELL replied that, in the case to which he had alluded, the title was not given by another to Dr. AP Hale. Whether or not there was that default in the Act mentioned by the Hon. and Learned Member he did not know. Air. O'CONNELL observed that there was no such Protestant dignitary as the "Archbish o p of Tuam" at the present time There was a Bishop of Tuam, but no Archbishop.—(lronical cheers from the Con servatives.) Sir R. INGLIS said, in consequence of the state ments of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, he had obtained a copy of the Catholic Relief Act, and after perusing it, he was convinced that he (Sir R. Inglis) was right, and the Hon. and Learned Member wrong. The Hon. Member then read the section of the Act, from which it appeared that any Catholic Clergyman assuming a title that did not belong to him was liable to b 9 fined to the oxtent of 100/, Mr. O'CONNELL after reading the Act, felt bound to admit that he was wrong. Any person in or out of that House might call another the Archbishop of any place, but the individual was not at liberty to assume it himself. ELECTION PETITIONS TRIAL BILL. On the Order of the Day for the House going into a Committee on the Election Petitions Trial Bill being read, Sir E. SUGDEN wished to call the attention of the House to the results that would follow the pas sing of this measure. He thought the House should main tain its authority with respect to all election petitions. He was willing to place the Members under such re strictions in the exercise of the right which they wished to retain as must satisfy the country ; they were de sirous of giving to the country the right of a fair trial of election petitions. The question was, how far the House could furnish such a tribunal from within itself. The plan of the Right Hon. Baro net (Sir R. Peel) was a great improvement in bia Committee 'ars respect. that be , believe& a: great pert -tif whit had resulted under the old Act, were the conse quence of the excitement which invariably prevailed in the House on choosing the names and striking them. He thought the House might place confidence in the General Committe, but even there there would be two parties. It was impossible it could be otherwise, and they might go on very well together in the appointment of the first six members, but the appointment of the seventh member would always be a matter of contention between them, and eventually it would be a matter of arrangement that the seventh man should be appointed by one party one time and by the other the next time. He thought it was exceedingly dangerous for gentle men unlearned in the law to take upon themselves to decide a point of law, and although he thought the Bill of Lis Right Honourable Friend a great improvement, of A so s he was afraid that it would not acc omp li s h a ll t h at was assistancefo one Session t o r would be ses wanted r Assessors oa expected sn a b ody, poin t s ody: r o o bf mi i a t w , h.e and sHil t oe h u a ldid iinok te approve, try the experiment of affording Committees legal as sistance under the advice and controul of the House, and see how the experiment would work for one Ses sion ; and although he would not object to having a case stated and laid before the Judges for their opinion, yet he knew the opinion of the House was so strong against submitting questions connected with politcs to the Judges, that he should be unwilling to recommend such a measure. The House then went into a Committee on the Bill. On clause 22 being put, which was for the appoint ment of a general Committee of Selection, Lord MAHON said he could not see how the se lection would be made for the purpose of trying Irish Controverted Elections. Three might be appointed on one side, and three on the other, but who was to ap point the seventh. (LIFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'clock. A message from the House of Commons brought up several Bills. Mr. CAMPBELL, from the East India House, at- tende d, SHlßE presented peti tions from several Presbyterian congregations in Ireland, and presentedefnpoaplevrsN. The Marquis eansmigbtb soldiers. be adoptcier .adopted for the proper, re ipigraieyeineg that servi means of Presbyterian Lord CA WDOR presented petitions from a place in Sutherland, in favour of Church Extension in Scotland. Lord Cawdor, Lord Stradbroke, Lord Colville, Lord Radnor, Lord Barham, and several other Noble Lords presented petitions from a great number of places in England, Wales, and Scotland, praying for the adoption of a uniform rate of Penny Postage. MALTA. The Marquis of NORMA NBY said, that seeing the Noble Earl opposite who had given notice of a motion for to-night he would take the opportunity of stating that he had not the slightest objection to the production of the hoped n E d a Earl would consequencee t object o to, tihhdacennuo°nnt papers, but that a dispatch had been just received to which sufficient attention had not yet been paid to en able him to say whether it could be laid before the House or not. Moreover he wished to add other papers which to those which were intended to be moved fo d r e , d wh h i i e m h h in e l would not were communications which had passed between himself, In conic agcvso:nceive s o a t i i d o nt that tl he another o d t is to m produce additional papers Sir Noble r d hLa t po h sr e d Commiss i oners .twhheo Nobleh ad prEeacre la q l hi u ss e e n pe c re e eese ofon of the h of an y consequence. He had night. objectt lithat The t t he Earl a ri. postponi ng efpropositionßlPON formed a ground of necessity for his puttin g off his motion for a third time, because he really did not think those papers were re ceived, last night, a communication from the late Noble Secretary (Lord Glenelg) saying he was labourin g under severe indisposition, and that he should not be able to attend to-day ; but adding th at he d id not wish th e mo tion t o b e postpon ed on account of his abse nce. But as his (E ar l Ripen s) o b s ervations would certa i nly apply to som e parts of that Noble Lord's conduct, and also to some portion of the conduct of the Commissioners, which that Noble Lord could only be expected to be com petent to reply to ; he did not feel that he could proceed with his motion to-night, mithout subje c ti ng himself to some suspicion of unf a i rness . It was, h owever, extremely inconvenient and extremely disagreeable to him to have thus to put the motion off from time to time, because it was a matter not only affecting the public but affecting individuals, an d if he put it off now, as he felt he must do, he ventured to say the odds were, that he should never be able to bring it on at all. The Marquis of NORMANBY said, that he was perfectly ready as far as he was concerned ; his only de sire was, that the House should be in possession of fuller information than it could be consi dered to be at present, but if the Noble Earl chose to proceed now, he (the Noble Marquis) should be quite ready to give all the information in his power. The Earl of RIPON could not think of proceeding under such disadvantages. Lord PORTMAN said the Attorney-General of Malta considered himself somewhat aggrieved, and was inxions the matter should be investigated as soon as possible. The Marquis of NORM ANBY said they ought not to allude to the merits of the case, unless they were prepared to go into the whole of it. He did not think there was any intention to cast any imputation on that individual. The Earl of RIPON said he should certainly take the earliest opportunity of bringing the question for ward. The Marquis of NORMANBY then moved for copies of the correspondence that had taken place be tween himself and Sir John Stoddart on the subject of the Malta Ordinances. The Bishop of CHESTER presented a petition signed by 24 Clergymen, and a number of the residents of Liverpool, praying that the Post-office might be closed, and the mails prohibited from running on Sundays. The Bishop of LONDON presented two petitions to the same effect ; also a petition from Belfast against idolatrous worship in India. The Bishop of BANGOR presented a petiton from Bangor against the mails running on Sundays. The Earl of STANHOPE presented two petitions in favour of a uniform rate of Penny Postage. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Lord J. RUSSELL said to-morrow he should pro pose to take the Scotch Prisons Bill till about half-past nine, when the Counsel might be heard against the Jamaica Bill ; and the subject of Canada would be postponed till Thursday. Lord DUNGANNON inquired when the Eccle siastical Commission Bill would be proceeded with ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he hoped he should be able to proceed with it on Monday, the 17th. Lord MAHON had understood that the Noble Lord had consented to give his Hon. Friend the Mem ber for Reading precedence on Thursday next for the purpose of proceeding with the Copyright Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL had given the Copyright Bill precedence for Thursday, but he thought the House would agree with him that the affairs of Canada were of greater importance than the Copyright Bill.— (Cheers.) He would take that opportunity of stuting to the House that he hoped to bring in a Bill upon each resolution. If the first resolution were passed, he should bring in a Bill upon that, and if the second resolution were passed he should bring in a separate Bill upon that also. With regard to the first Bill he should not press it beyond the second reading, but he hoped the Bill founded on the second resolution would be passed ; be should press that, is hopes it might become the law before the end of the Session. Lord MAHON hoped the Noble Lord would be able to make such arrangements as would enable his Hon. Friend the Member for Reading to proceed with his Copyright Bill at an early day. Sir R. PEEL supposed that the Noble Lord, in pursuing the course that he had proposed, regarding, the Jamaica Bill, considered that the second reading would be merely a reading pro forma, in order to enable counsel to be heard, and that if he (Sir Robert Peel) consented to the second reading, the discussion would be taken on the motion for the Speaker's leaving the chair. Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed the discussion should take place on the motion for going into Com mittee, and if the discussion extended to such a length as to render it advisable, ho should have no objection to postpone the Committee. THE QUEEN AND SIR R. PEEL. Mr. WAKLEY desired to ascertain from the Noble POOR LAWS. The NOBLE EARL then presented a petition from Ilverton, in Somerset, against the Poor-law Amend ment Bill, and a petition from an individual, complain ing of harsh treatment on the part of the Earl of Hard wick and the Guardians of the poor of the Caxton and Baddington Union.) The petitioner complained that she had been turned out of her house—that her husband had been imprisoned, and that she was only allowed (is. a week for himself, and ss. for children, being at the rate of Id. per day tor each, and that she was obliged to walk .5t miles to obtain that sum. The Earl of HARDWICK said their Lordships h ad ( always been remarkable for the attentionn they paid to petitions from the poore r classes.— ( Hear , hear.) The petitioner's husband bad, he believed, been impri soned for some offence with which the guardians of the poor had nothing whatever to do. They had been ejected from their house, and it was very fortunate for them that the Poor-law Amendment Bill was in ope ration or they would have no home to go to. The allegations as to the Board of Guardians would, if examined into, be found groundless. He (the Earl of Hardwick) was sure that if any complaint were made to the Board of the conduct of their officers, they would examine into it. He himself was in favour of any in quiry. He thought that perhaps it might be well to appoint the Committee of last year, which had done much to quiet the public mind. ___ __ EDUCATION. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from St. Mary's, Newington, in favour of the Government plan of " national education." The Noble and Learned Lord said he could not agree that the plan deserved the designation " national"—in fact, his objection to it was, that it did not go far enough—but, however, if they could not do all they wished, let them do all they could. The Marquis of L NSDOWN remarked that among the numberless falsehoods which had been pub lished on this subject was, that the plan would be com pulsory all over the country. The Bishop of EXETER moved for a copy of the commission under which the Dean of the Arches holds his office. Ordered. (LEFT SITTING.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 5. ' The SPEAKER took the Chair at Three o'Clock. Mr. COMPTON presented several petitions against the grant to the College of Maynooth. Mr. PR YME presented several petitions in favour of the penny postage. Mr. WE L, BY presented twenty-one petitions against national education. BLOCKADE OF BUENOS AYRES. Sir STRATFORD CANNING begged to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary of State, for Foreign Affairs, a question relative to the blockade of Buenos Ayres, which the French had established for the last 18 months. In consequence of that blockade the trade had been entirely suspended with the port of Buenos Ayres, and it had been seriously detrimental to the commercial interests of that country. The trade of England with that port, amounted to no less than 1,000,0001., and if the export returns were included it would be 2,000,000/. It would be most desirable if the anxiety of the commercial publiz would be set at rest, more especially as the last information was that the blocakade still continued. He begged to ssk the Noble Lord whether there was any immediate prospect of the discontinuance of that blockade, and whether her Majesty's Government had taken any steps, by negociation or otherwise, to effect that object. According to the answer he received from the Noble Lord, he should decide whether he would bring the question be fore the House in a more distinct manner. Lord PALMERSTON said the last despatches received ( stated that the blockade still continued. Wi t h regard to I the othor point, he would state that her Majesty's Govern ment were usinf , their best endeavours, at Paris and Bue. nos Ayres, to bring about an arrangement of the dispute between those two parties. Sir S. CANNING said the Noble Lord had not expressed any opinion as to any immediate prospect of the blockade being discontinued, lie hoped the Noble Lord would inform the House at least of the general grounds and principles upon which the French Government founded its right to make that blockade. Lord PALMERSTON would express no opinion one way or another. The Government were doing all in their power to bring about an amicable arrangement. Sir S. CANNlNG—Probably the Noble Lord would state whether the principal ground of misunderstanding was not a demand made by the French, that the French resi dents in Mexico should be put upon the same footing as those of the most favoured nation. Lord PALMERSTON said that was one of the de rnands made by the French Government, that their subjects should be placed upon that footing, until a treaty of com merce was entered into. Captain PEC HELL—With reference to this block. ade, perhaps the Noble Lord would state whether anything had been done towards the settlement of the property of the late Mr. Lee. He was informed that it depended upon, the raising of the blockade. Lord PALMERSTON had received some information upon the subject, but he had not given it his attention. The Consul at Buenos Ayres had received instructions to rive his utmost attention to the subject. CLERKS OF THE PEACE BILL. On the motion that the House do go into Committee on the Clerks of the Peace Bill, Mr. BA RNEB T withdrew the motion of which he had given notice—That it be an instruction to the Committee to prevent the appointment of Deputy- Clerks of the Peace, except in certain cases. Tile House then resolved itself into Committee. The clauses of the Bill were agreed to with a few verbal amendments, and the Report was ordered to be re ceived on Friday. COPYHOLD ENFRANCHISEMENT BILL. On the motion for the further consideration of the Re port on this Bill, Sir E. SUGDEN trusted that the Honourable Member would postpone the Bill for the present Session. He was friendly to the enfranchisement of copyholds. The main evil, however, he considered to be the heriots. But he should object to any plan for appointing, at the public expense, a Commission to inquire into the subject. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. STEWART thought the Right lion. Gentleman had not given any reason why the Bill should be postponed. lie (Mr. Stewart) had not brought forward the Bill on his own responsibility ; it was a Bill suggested by a Select Committee, composed of both sides of the House, and the resolutions of that Committee were drawn up by the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth.—( Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances, he trusted the House would al• low the Bill to go into Committee. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND thought the Bill so objectionable that its defects could not be remedied by striking out the compulsory clause, and lie should there fore move that the Report be further considered this day six months, and it would depend upon the support he received whether he should press it to a division. He had not opposed tho second r , ading, because he had understood from the Hon. Member for Honiton that he would reprint the Bill and modify the compulsory clause. The Bill bad been reprinted, and the clause remained as objectionable as ever. He thought it should have been entitled, A Bill to take away the rights of all lords of copyhold manors, and to compel the tenants, whether willing or not, to purchase the same. It was a direct interference with private property, and pri vate property ought not to be interfered with, except for matters of great public utility. There was another and most objectionable clause, that whieh proposed to give compensation to the stewards of manors. Such a thing as a vested interest in stewards was never heard of before. Objecting to the Bill, he should move that the report be received this day six months. Sir It INGLIS seconded the amendment. He ob jected entirely to the compulsory clauses, and unless the Hon. mover of the Report would consent to withdraw them, he would concur with the Hon. Member for York shire in dividing the House. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL regretted the opp o . sition which was given to this Bill, being convinced that it would do ample justice between the Lord of the Manor and the tenant, the interest of the former being most carefully guarded. He trusted the session would not be allowed to terminate without something being done for the improve ment of the law relating to copyhold tenures.—( Hcar,.) From the feeling of the House he would at once recom mend his Hon. Friend the Member for Honiton, to with. draw the compulsory clauses—( Hear, hear)—which could easily be disconnected from the rest of the Bill. If t h e other parts of the Bill should be agreed to a great improvement would be effectecL lie hoped this 'would he an insta!ment in progressive Reform.—( A laugh.) Li t certainly should not consider it a final measure.—( Hear, bear) —and would say, while there were abuses to remedy, they cu.7ht to proc ,, ed.—( Cheers.) room E. SUGDEN suggested that as this was along and plicated Bill, the alteratisns should be made, and an opportunity then afforded (,:f ex minin g it more cutely. HORRIBLE CASE.— A poor shoemaker at Edinburgh had nearly all his face eaten away by a dread f.l bleeding cancer ; the disease had began to destroy his right eye; in this condition he was frightful and hideous to look at; of course not the least hopes of a cure could be expected. But however astot.ishing or even miraculous the circumstance may appear, he has been cured •by the use of Holloway's ointment. Thin wonderful and extra ordinary remedy cures nearly all external diseases, and it may he procured at any chemist throughout the kingdom, or at the estab►lishrnent of Mr. Holloway, 13, Broad.strpet Buildinzs, City.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for a grant of 70,0001. out of the Crown Land Revenue, for the purpose of rebuilding the Royal Stables at Windsor, which were at present not only not fit for a Royal residence, but for that of a private individual. ' The proposed plan would not create any additional charge, as it would be paid for out of the accumulation of the Crown land revenues, arising from the sale of Crown lands, which had been set apart for the purpose of improving the Crown residences. Mr. WARBURTON would not offer any opposition at the present moment, because he should have an opportu nity of doing so at a future stage of the measure. Mr. M. PHILLIPS wished to know whether in the 70.0001. the sale of the present site of the stat4les had been calculated ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the 70,0001. was the maximum amount of the expense. After a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. WARLEY said the vote was a most extravagant one. 70,0001. for stables was an immense sum. The horses surely did not require palaces, although her Majesty might. He gave notice that on a future stage he would move that the sum be reduced to 50,0001. The vote was then agreed to, and the House resumed. BOROUGH COURTS. On the motion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, the Borough Courts Bit/ was read a third time and passed. Mr. HODGSON, in the absence of Sir Robt. Inglis, moved that Mr. Burge be heard at the Bar against the Jamaica Bill. Adjourned at Half-past Eight o'Clock. ,EPORT OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE FOR THE MONTH OF MAY. We have but small improvement, if any, to report of the woollen trade for the month just closed. A dull trade in the months of March and April is rarely fol lowed by activity in May ; the bulk of the spring trade, so far as the wholesale business is concerned, being over in the former months. The home trade during the month has maintained the same heavy and unsatisfac tory character which it has borne since October last. The foreign demand, until the last ten days, has been equally languid ; within that period there have been in dations of renewed and somewhat extensive business to the States. The state of Stocks, we believe, is not materially al tered since our last report, that is, there is no excess tither in the balk or the finished state. Notwith standing this favourable feature, the rate of prices has not been remunerating either to manufacturer or mer chant. Both have been guarded in their conduct, but, unfortunately for them, the contraction of purchases and preparation has not kept pace with the diminution of demand, and the buyers have, consequently, had it much their own way. As to prices, cloths are lower, rather because they do not bear a profit, than because of any corresponding fall in wool or dyeing. Wools have, indeed, been sold at a lower rate during May than at any time since October last, but they arc still higher proportionally (as they have been during the last four or five months) than cloths. The stock of wool, we be lieve, is not large under t2s. 3d. to 6d., but it is un derstood to be considerable " for the season" above those prices. The goods in greatest demand during May, and throughout the spring have been blues, blacks, and invi sible greens ; fewer common colours have been asked for than we ever recollect in the spring season, and there does not seem to be much prospect of a change in taste at present. Of goods in preparation we are dis posed to think the quantity is not large of this we are certain, that wool has been very cautiously purchased for some weeks, and many manufacturers have greatly diminished their scale of operations : what effect the pre sent re-opening of the American demand may have on their disposition we presume not to say, though we think the prospect of continued and increasing demand for that quarter should be more sure than we now take it to be, ere they resume full work. The kinds of goods in preparation, in addition to the regular supply of blues, blacks, and greens, of al :prices, are understood to be Petershams and beavers, with, we suppose, a moderate quantity of double-milled cloths. We speak rather doubtfully as to the latter kind, because we have not heard of them as we did last year, on all hands. Then, as we ventured to hint at the time, too many were made, as not a few are aware of, both in Leeds and London, who hold stocks of them. This year we think the quantity of fresh double-milled cloths required will be small, and that the manufacturers will do well to guard against over supply. Pilots and beavers, it is supposed, will have a run, and of the latter the slighter kinds will probably be most wanted.—Leeds Mercury. THE MARQUIS OF TWEEDDALE'S DRAIN TILE MactitNE.—This machine will make 10,000 drain tiles a day, one man an d t wo b oys to atten d it, and twenty thousand of flat tiles for the drain-tile to lie upon, but if the tiles are broad for roofing, it will make 12,000 a-day. These draining tiles arc fifteen inches long, so that three machines would make in one season (of thirty weeks), as many tiles as would lay a drain from London to York. Now a man and two assistants will only make 1,000 drain tiles in a day, and these only one foot long, which is 1,000 feet per day. While the machine with the same number of persons will make 12,500 feet per day ; so that if the drain be laid at the distance of twenty-five feet, it will make in one day sufficient tiles for six acres. The advantages are—lst. The tile is much stronger from being com pressed, and less impervious to water—it is not only com. pressed but it is smoother over, which gives it a surface as though it were glazed. They are capable of being made front a much stiffer clay than usual, and in nine cases out of ten the clay may be used directly on being dug, if passed through the crushers, being much drier. Clay. unfit for bricks and tiles by the common method, is avadable by the machinery. The expense of draining will be paid in three years, but not unfrequently in one. —Farmer's _Magazine. The must noble and most salutary forms and in stitutions which, whether in civil or moral societies, are bequeathed from generation to generation. after the lapse of centuries, will prove defective. However exquisitely fit, they may have been when they were framed, it would be necessary that the vital power in states and churehu's should act instinctively, and evince a faculty (.f perpetu ally adapting itself to the occasion, as the ship Argo did when it spoke, if such a fitness is to last. As it is, however, they either continue without any outward alteration, and then are only the mote certain of becomin , ' a mere lifeless shell, or they are gra d ua ll y developed and transformed ; during which process their original purpose is but usually little thought of, and often totally misunderstood ; nay, the condition of the persons for whose sake the institutions were first enacted, will often undergo so great a change that there ceases to be any room for such a purpose ; and then should any one perceive that what is now oppressing and harassing us would not have existed, but for these forms and the events which fashioned them, he may un thinkingly turn his displeasure against them; may wish not that they were suitably modified, but that they had had never twen; and may extol what they did away with , without knowing what it was, without asking what and where he himself would be. but for those institutions which now in their turn have outlived themselves. —Niebuhr. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE AT WA TERLoo.BRIDGE.—Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, a desperate attempt to commit suicid e w a s wade by an elegantly-dressed female, apparently about twenty-six or twenty-seven years of age, who threw herself off Waterloo-bridge into the River. Some watermen on the jetty for the accommodation of the steamboat passen gers rendered Instant assistance, and fortunately succeeded in getting her out of the water, and she was conveyed to the Savoy Palace public-house, in Savoy -street, Strand, when she was attended by Mr. Scott, a surgeon, who used the stomach pump, and drew off a great quantity of water, and was conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital in a very pre carious state. She is unknown, and was dressed in black silk, with patent leather shoes, and had a bouquet in her bosom when she committed the rash act. After a few words from Mr. G. HOPES and Mr. ESTCOURT, Mr. AG LIONBY said he considered the provisions of for effecting a compulsory enfranchisement the best part of the Bill.—(flear.) He denied that heriots were the principal, on the contrary, they were the least evils of copy_ holds under the present system. There were many harsh and vexatious incidents to copyholds. The Committee had stated that the enfranchisement of copyholds was a great public national object. Because, in many casos, there were heavy impositions ; the forfeiture, for instance, of two years value, by the tenant at alienations, ere. ; and would not this necessarily be prejudicial to the public interests, ' as tending to prevent the profitable cultivation of land ? ( Hear, hear.) He earnestly entreated the House not to give up any means for getting rid of this odious relic of the feudal system. Mr. FRESHFIE LD expressed himself in favour of the compulsory enactments. After a few words from the SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. GOULBURN, Sir G. STRICKLAND explained. Mr. DARRY thought the compulsory clauses would inflict a hardship on the smaller tenantry; but he wished the Bill should be discussed, and hoped the House would allow his lion, and Learned Friend to go on with his Bill. Mr. C. BULLER thought they might come to this arrangement, that the Hon. Gentleman should strike out the clauses that he thought compulsory, and that the House should consider the remainder. After some further discussion Sir George Strickland withdrew his amendment, and the House resolved itself into Committee on the Bill. After a desultory conversation, in which Sir G. Strick land, Mr. Aglionbv, Mr. Darby, Mr. C. Buller, and several other lien. Members took part, relative to what could be considered the compulsory clauses, The Bill was then reported, and ordered to be recom mitted when printed. The Patterns and Inventions Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. i I I '1 EVENING EDITION. COMMERCIAL STEAM PACKET COMPANY. A Special General Meeting of this Company took place yesterday, at the London Tavern, in accordanoe, with a requisition signed by several of the proprietors, one of whom, Mr. Lilly, made a long statement of what he considered the unsatisfactory position of the Company. His calculations, however, did not appear to the general body of the Shareholders present at all correct. The CHAIRMAN (Charles Bleaden, Esq.) declared that the Company's vessels, thirteen in number, were all of the first class, and, except one, in perfect repair, and would be all ready for sea within a month. Mr. HALL expressed his entire dissent from the gloomy account which had been given by Mr. Lilly. A motion for the dissolution of the Company, proposes by the latter gentleman, was almost unanimously re jected. * Mr ANDERSON (of the Morning Advertiser) begged of the Shareholders to reflect that no Company had ever succeeded at first, and that many of those which were now most successful, had for a long time after their establishment been very desponding concerna—(Hear, hear.) The Company in his opinion was now in a bet.- ter situation than it had ever been betere—(Hear.) Not only were its vesse:s of the first class, but they had acquired a character and reputation which gave them a deserved pre-eminence.—( Hear, hear.) Who that had ever sailed in the Emerald, the Boulogne, the Duchess of Kent, or the Grand Turk, for instance, or indeed, in any of the Company's packets, would after wards sail in any other. He believed that the present Direction of the Company was such that it could not well be changed for the better ; and nothing was required but that the Shareholders should be liberal and persevering in their support.—(Hear, hear.) He would just suggest the idea of a union with the Gene ral Steam Navigation Company, which he thought might advantageously, for both, be effected —(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN presented to the meeting the fol lowing Report which had been agreed upon by the Directors, as containing the advice which they would offer for the adoption of the proprietary in the present crisis of their affairs : 't The Directors have considered it their sluty to assemble you together, for the express purpose of taking into your serious consideration the imperative necessity that exists for increasing the finances, and, by that mode, the prosperity of the Company. And they do not consider that any method can be devised which will add at the same time so much to the istability o f th e C ompany , as t h e i mm edi ate di sposal of the shares still remaining to be appropriated. This-re commendation was strongly urged at the last annual meeting, and met with the unanimous approbation of the Proprietors then assembled, though an extended pe riod was proposed for paying the claims, and the Direc tors felt that there was not sufficient inducement held out to accomplish the object. They, therefore, without hesitation, recommend that on all shares taken from the present day, and until further notice, a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum be paid previously to any distribution of profits, or dividends being made on the antecedent shares ; and that such shares shall also be entitled to any further amount of dividend exceed ing that rate which may be declared at the Annual General Meetings, and that preference be given in the allotment to the present Shareholders of the Company, the payment of the shares to be as follows :-1/. depo sit on the allotment thereof', 14 first call, Sept. 1,1839; 1/. second call, January Ist, 1840 ; 1/. third call , April Ist, 1840 ; and 14 fourth call, July Ist, 1840, with liberty to the Shareholders to pay the whole, or any of the calls, at any time previously, the interest being cal culated from the time of payment. The shares required to complete the number agreed to be raised'are about 14,000/., which will be amply sufficient to meet the exi gencies of the Company. The Directors have great pleasure in stating., that since the last meeting, consi derable progress had been made in completing the new factory and dock ; and they hope, that in a very short time they will be in a perfect state, notwithstanding the difficulties they have had to encounter ; and every day impresses them with a sense of the great advantages that must ultimately result. They refer with satis faction to the work already done under their guidance and management, in spite of the necessarily imperfect state of the manufactures. And the Proprietors have only to examine into the state of the vessels already prepared and altered for service under this plan—the Princess Victoria, the Duchess of Kent, the Emerald, the Grand Turk, and the Kent—to find abundant confirmation of this statement. The remaining vessels, with one exception, will be ready for service within a month ; all of them in a more eumplete state, and in fact of greater value, than when the Com pany was put in possession of them. The Company will then possess a fleet of which they may well be proud. The expenses attendant on the formation of the factory, having naturally pressed heavily on the finances of the Company, have retarded their expectation of dis charging all their debts, in (goer to prevent any fur ther accumulation of liabilities. Should, however, the shares LION offered, or even a moiety of them, be made, the Directors feel satisfied there will be nothing to prevent the Company from becoming prosperous, and, in the end, attaining the object they have in view. The Directors have every reason to be lieve that after the present very great outlay is com pleted, the annual expenditure for repairing, or keeping the vessels in good trim, will be so considerably dimi nished, that the present difficulties occasioned by them will diminish, in a similar proportion. And it will - then . be their particular care to keep a watchful eye dyer every expenditure that is not absolutely necessary; They can assure the Proprietors that, however imper fectly they may have discharged the duties committed to them, they have discharged them at least with as much zeal and honest ability as they possessed ; they have sacrificed a great portion of valuable time to the service of the Company, without remuneration, and . their purses have been opened on many, very manaaoc casions, when the exigencies of the Company required it. They have felt a pride in maintaining and uphold ing the Company, which has added so much to the credit and the resources of the Port of London, and the general advantage of its inhabitants. And this feelin g has not only been participated in by the Board of Directors, but by every one who has had a share in the management of the concern. The Directors take the present opportunity of informing the Proprietors that the holders of the 50/. original shares are entitled to a free passage to all the home stations of the Company, in cluding Boulogne, and that the present Shareholders who may be inclined to increase their shares to that ex tent will he entitled to the same privilege. In conclu sion, they trust that you will believe they are anxious only for the best interests of the Company, which can only be promoted by at once firmly cud unanimously adopting the measures which they now recommend, and which will, in their judgment, extricate the Com pany from its present difficulties." - The CHAIRMAN wished to impress upon the meeting that the unprecedentedly bad weather which had pre vailed last year had contributed materially to the un pleasing state of the accounts. The receipts were of course less in the winter season ; but then, if the vessels did not run, they would lose their stations fur the sum mer season. The Report was adopted, with scarcely a dissentient. Mr. NSTainwr, in proposing a vote of thanks to the Chairman, whose exertions i❑ the cause of the Com pany had (he said) brought on an illness from which he was just recovering, declared his willingness to take 5,0001. in the new shares.—(Cheers.) Tile motion having been agreed to, and the Chair man returned thanks, the meeting separated. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
