SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. 111.03 t TEE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDARD. —The Factory Bill was last night read a second - time in the House of Lords, and gave occasion for a debate of considerable length. The arguments ad duced for and against the restriction to ten hours were the same repeated five or six times in the House of Commons, and it would be less excusable to weary our readers with reference to them, be cause while Lord Wharncliffe and Lord Brougham were, in the House of Lords, resisting a restraint to ten hours of the labour of factories upon principles of political economy, Sir Robert Peel was, in the House of Commons, Vigorously and successfully cutting away the foundations of that pretended science. In the House of Commons, Sir Robert Peel moved his resolutions of the 6th inst., upon the subject of the renewal of the Bank charter, in a speech distinguished, even among the speeches of the Right Honourable Baronet, by perspicuity, fulness of information, and masterly arrangement. After a conversation, scarcely to be called a debate, in which several Members addressed the House, the resolutions were unanimously adopted. How could it be otherwise in the case of propositions so good in themselves—introduced with such consummate ability ? Every measure of such importance as the re-modelling of the Bank charter — which is, in effect, fixing the currency of the empire— naturally engages the attention of a vast number of powerful and well-informed minds, and when these minds concur, it is plain that we have in their agreement as near an approach to a perfectly wise judgment as we can hope from human nature. But every such perfectly wise judgment has two aspects—one immediately practical, the other exemplary; the one relating to what we may call the cause in court, the other establishing sound principles and affording precedents. Of these two aspect., the exemplary aspect—the assent to principles—is the more important, because it extends beyond the particular subject and the moment. We are far from underrating the immense value to the commerce, and, through its commerce, to the permarent happiness of the country, of the practical effect of Sir R. Peel's proposed arrangement. We believe that no man can estimate, and that it is perfectly impossible to over rate the beneficial effect of imposing, as this arrangement pill impose, a sober and steady pace upon the commercial advances of this industrious, bold, and enterprising nation ; lint this benefit, great as it is, falls incalculably short of the value of the mortal blow struck by the arrangement at the false science—" political economy"— that has so long and so perniciously domineered in our legislation, hardening the hearts of the rich, and torturing and corrupting the poor. What are the fundamental doctrines of the political economists ? First, that all contracts shall be free to all ; secondly, that every interference of the Legislature with trade must be in lurious ; and upon the authority of these dogmas it is that we are told, in defiance of truth, justice, and humanity, that infants and women, and help less men, are to be compelled to work any num ber of hours in the day that may suit an em ployer's profit or cupidity, upon the fiction, forsooth, that they are free parties to a contract. Infant children and women free contracting parties—men " who may do what they please, only they must " or starve, free contracting parties ! ! How do the banking resolutions respect these rigid maxims, never to inter fere with contracts, never to interfere with trade? Why they stride over them as if such maxims were never seen or heard of. In the matter of contracts, the highest and most important that pecuniary contracts - can be, in that department of trade which concerns the largest amount of property, and which is most universally diffused, the Legislature takes the whole duty of arrangement and control into its own hands. And most wisely does the Legislature take into its own hands the management and control of these important contracts and of this extensive trade ; and with equal :wisdom would the Legislature take into its hands the management of all contracts, and of all trade, if in others it could as 'well protect itself from the indulgence of its own caprice, as we trust it will in this vital matter. GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel addressed himself, in the latter division of his speech last night, to supply the deficient links which had been remarked in his pre , vieus exposition. In this supplementary essay he was zealously aided by Mr. C. Wood, Sir W. Clay, and Mr. F. Baring. It is evident, therefore, that there . is: no desire, on the part of the Opposition, to dis cuss this as- a party question. In fact, most of the intelligent supporters of the plan are apparently to' be found -on those benches. The Minister's hack supporters hold their tongues to conceal their disguiseigno rance; or their tender leanings towards tam . in . pering, an opposite sense, with - the Queen's coin. • It -has always been by the Tory organs, in times past, , that have been breathed the most ardent aspirations for 'unlimited showers of paper, as restoratives of pros perity. The only explicit expounders, however, of the doctrines still dear to those real and rooted Tories, who ,retain their objection to all payments, except either in . rags, or in moneys screwed from the public by monopoly, are the men of Birmingham. It is the religion of that place 'to believe in the power of promises to pay to solve every difficulty. It appears to us, on the other hand, that Sir R. Peel's infirmity on this subject is his persuasion that premises to pay become then dangerous, and then only, et would seem, when they are promises to pay on de niand—that the monster evil of our credit and banking system is the freedom to issue convertible notes. Now this is what we said Sir Robert had by no means proved in his first exposition ; and what we now say his sup plementary speech has gone little farther in proving than his previous one. Neither can we find anything but echoes of the same irrelevancies in the speeches in his support. It was well observed by Mr. C. Buller, that ' " The most complete confusion appeared to exist, in the ideas of the majority of those who had spoken, between banking and currency. The object of the Right Hon. Baronet was to obviate the evils arising from the bad system of credit ; but his machinery was directed to an action on the circulating medium. In order to sup-. port his interference with the issues of country banks the Right Honourable Baronet had quoted cases of failures in those banks—forgetting, however, to mention how many of them had been banks of issue. And it appeared the Right Hon. Baronet's argument tended much more against the system of banking than the system o 0 issues. The great mischief of our banking arose, not from the issue of notes by country banks, but from errors in the banking system of another nature. Why, of eighty-one private banks that had failed in a particular period, only twenty-nine had been banks of issue ; the other ffty-two had nothing to do with issues. —(Hear, hear.) The failure of one private bank in London had caused more mischief, too, than the failure of many country banks of issue." . Take, for instance, one of the cases quoted last night by Sir Robert Peel to show the insecurity of private banks under the present system : "No. 6. The banker succeeded to a considerable property •, mortgaged his estate, overdrew his private accounts with the bank, issued prthnissory notes to the amount of 14,000/., bearing interest to depositors of small sums among the humbler classes of society ; 5,5901. of promissory notes pay - '' able to Nearer on demand." , It appears in this instance, that considerably more titian double the amount of paper issued in the form - 86 Particularly obnoxious to Sir R. Peel was issued by the parties in question in another form, which his mea sure wilt net touch... It appears in this, as in every other instance which can be named, that the part of the paper at :present issued, which- is most under check already, is precisely that about which Sir Robert's plan most exclusively busies itself ; and that part of it which is only limited in amount by the banker's credit, and his disposition to use (or abuse) it, is the part which his project leaves free. Sir Robert may reply that he cannot meddle with credit, but only with currency. But, we contend, with Mr. Tooke, that the one is as much (or as little) cur rency as the other. The difference is not between credit and currency, but between wholesale and retail. Sir Robert Peel leaves untouched the wholesale operations of credit currency. And yet it is evident that the mass of transactions in banking—and unchecked transactions —are these wholesale ones. But Sir Robert pulls up the retail credit-currency—which is strongly controlled al ' ready by immediate convertibility, and by that very banking competition he deprecates. We should like to know, in addition to the points questioned b y Mr. Charles-Buller, what amount of loss the public has sus tained by the non-payment of joint-stock bank notes. We believe it would be found quite insignificant. • MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of ,May 21.)

MANSION-HOUSE. A Mr. Groves, of Peckham, complained to Sir Peter Laurie that a sort of lottery had been established at No. 7, in the Old Jewry, and that it was carried on evi dently for the purpose of getting hold of the money of simple or unwary people, whom the bills and labels were calculated to draw into the purchase of " good luck." The complainant stated that he had purchased the ticket No. 5,050, which stated a day for the drawing. He, however, found that the drawing did not take place on that day, after having incurred the expense of travelling into town to witness the caprice of the goddess to whom the temple in the neighbourhood of Cheapside had been raised; and he also found, that although the ticket assured him who held it that the whole lot would be drawn prizes, the prize to which he became entitled was u not worth twopence. He had, he added, every reason to suppose that the whole concern was one of those extra ; ordinary humbugs which the genius of the pr esent da y • alone was capable of producing, and he accordingly felt an interest in checking its progress by appealing to the Chief Magistrate. Sir PETER LAURIE, who gave credit to the com plainant for the discrimination which led him to place the present class of sinister dealers higher in the scale 4 of ingenuity than the cadgers and maters of former ; days, immediately dispatched a messenger to the " lottery," which was stated to be carried on in the house of Messrs. Taylor and Hewitt, tea dealers, at the corner of the Old Jewry, with his compliments, and his ) wish to communicate upon the subject. jA young man of respectable appearance, who said 5 his name was Newman, accordingly waited upon the ; Alderman, and (Mrs Groves having re - stated t he g rounds ri of his complaint) declared that the lottery was con ducted upon the most honourable and liberal principles, ' and that when the complainant had called and repre sented his objections, and what he considered to be his grievances, the amount of the ticket was offered to be returned, but rejected. The distribution of property to ) the value of 2,500/. was the result of the drawing, and the ) prizes consisted of Chines jars, vases, and pictures, and ; other articles of drawing-room decoration. Sir PETER LAURIE—How long is it since this affair commenced? Mr. Newman—lt began in February last. Sir PETER LAURIE—And there has actually been a 1 drawing? Mr. Newman—There has been one, and Mr. Groves, having drawn one of the small prizes, repented his enterprise, and wanted his fire shillings ; but -he also required to be remunerated for his trouble and dis ) appointment.—(A laugh.) sm The complainant—l little thought that, at a place where I was in the habit of purchasing my tea, I should have met with such treatment.—(Laughter.) Sir PETER LAURIE—I see that this ticket is numbered 5,050. Is it possible that 5,050 persons were such fools 1% as to try their luck at such a game ? Mr. Newman — You must not judge from the number of the ticket the actual number of purchasers. The buyers choose from 10,000 tickets ; and Mr. King, an accountant, drew two 3 beautiful jars, estimated at one hundred guineas. 7 Sir PETER LAURIE—I have no doubt at all that a few of the friends of the concern come in for the valuable )3 prizes.—(Laughter.) But Mr. Groves, although a cus s tomer to the• house, was not, I dare say, considered amongst the number. Pray where is Mr, Taylor, whose 234 name is mentioned at the head of the responsible parties? Mr. Newman—He is, I regret to say, in a lunatic asylum. Sir PETER LAURIE—And advantage is, I suppose, 85574410. i taken of his melancholy condition to carry on this lottery. Are you not aware that you have been committing an 4 534 illegal act in carrying it on ? Mr. Newman—We had 09( no idea of the kind at its commencement, and now it is ended. Everything has been conducted on the fairest principle. The complainant—Who could have imagined that a ° tradesmen I dealt with for tea woul d have ventured to [3B ' act in such a manner ? 2 Mr. Newman—You were offered your five shillings. ° The complainant—But I must be paid my expenses. 6 % Sir PETER LAURIE—I am actually tired of cautioning 514 the public against the various plans by which money 3 is wheedled out of their pockets. Every day produce's new dupes, who venture, with their eyes open, into all sorts of snares. In this case the complainant has cer s 6 tainly put a period to the existence of this Chinese lot -2 tery by the exposure he has given it here. I would ad " vise him to consult his attorney on the subject of what he considers to be his claim upon the parties whose 1.% names are subscribed to the tickets. An old gentleman, who belongs to the Mansion -house t household, designated the Lord Mayor's young man, stated that his two daughters had drawn two prizes, the value of which was about a penny each.—(A laugh.) Sir P. LAURIE—The notification that all the tickets would be prizes, has, no doubt, had the effect of giving an 5 extensive sale, but, I trust, that the moment anything 34 of this kind makes its appearance in the City, the Lord 4 4 Mayor will be informed o f it . The complainant returned thanks to Sir Peter Laurie, and said that he should certainly act upon the excellent r`" advice he had received. 1;11 A young man, named James Edwards, was brought j up, charged with having defrauded several carriers by ti an ingenious mode of deception. ) The case attracted a great number of tradespeople to 301 the justice-room. )g Mr. Thomas Moore, of No. 16, Old Change, carrier, stated that at half-past six o'clock on Saturday evening, 2 the prisoner, who was unknown to him, brought a ham- O per to the office addressed as follows:—"To the Earl of 4 Liverpool, Buckstead, Sussex, per railway, May 15th, e 3 1844," to go by one of his carriers, and claimed for car d riage of the hamper 13 s 2 d. Witnes s ob j ected to p a y 2 ▪ so large a sum ; but, observing on the ticket, which was one of W. Kenworthy's of the Axe in Aldermanbur y , 0) that 6s 6d had been paid upon the hamper at Shrews o • bury, he thought it best to pay the amount required, 3 which he did accordingly. The prisoner said it,ovas a 16 hamper of mineral water, an article which his Lordship s) had weekly from Shrewsbury. Witness, when the pri soner had departed, shook the basket to ascertain whe • ther it contained liquid, but found it did not, and suspecting that something was not completely 7 34 right, opened it and saw instead of the mineral 3 water, a heap of bricks. Witness then ran out in the direction taken by the prisoner, but could not ' 7 7 34 find him. On returning home , how ever, he met hUn is carrying another hamper, which was directed to " the 6 Hon. Mr. Cavendish,' and contained stones, as was e afterwards ascertained. The prisoner, upon being sspoken to by the witness, threw down the hamper, and 5 attempted to escape, but was taken into custody. 6 Mr. T. J. Holt, an agent to Messrs. Kenworthy and Co., of the Axe Inn, stated that the prisoner was not in ,tu the employment of that house, and that the hamper did 2 % not come from their house ; and that the bill was forged, , 5 although the heading of it was genuine. How the pri soner got the printed copy he did not know. a A City policeman stated that he took into custody the 6 % prisoner, who had in his possession seven tickets filled P, u purporting to come from different carmen, and ad o dressed to several parties, five blank tickets, and the L eno rmous number of 101 pawnbrokers' duplicates for 4 . ) 78 articles of all descriptions. The p risoner said, upon being apprehended, that it was distress that had driven him to the act. Mr. R. Gifford, book-keeper, at the Elephant and 6S Castle, Newington, stated that at half- p ast nine o'clock 17, on the morning of Saturday last, the prisoner brought a q% rush basket to the office and produced a ticket, saying 4 ho wanted 19s. sd. for it. Witness hesitated about pay i, ing so much money, especially as twopence was all the profit derived by his employer, but the prisoner observed that if there was anything wrong there was Kenworthy's 4 ticket, and they could set it to rights. At last witness 6 paid the money in a sovereign and took sevenpence in change. The basket w as addressed as follows:—" The 139 en Hon. Wm. Cavendish, Compton-place, Eastbourne, 4 , , ? Sussex, per Kenwort h y Rail, thence p er coach, , ' May 15, 184 4 ." It was sent accordin g to the address, but it was soon returned, and it was found to contain bricks and other rubbish, and Messrs. Kenworthy knew nothing at all about it. The policeman produced a book containing French prints of the worst description that he found in the pri soner's hat. Sir PETER LAURIE, in committing the prisoner for atrial, said, if he had the po w er , he would pu nish the ; fellow more severely on account of the book, which no 1 doubt was for sale, than for the offence with which he 4 was directly charged. L CLERKEN WELL. John Shea, and Margaret Shea, who said she was his wife, were charged with an assault on police-constable Cale, 54 E, and with assaulting three other constables. It appeared, from the evidence of the officers, and of several civilians, that the prisoners, who were perfectly sober, were fighting in Warwick-place, Gray's Inn, be tween six and seven on the previous evening. Cale went up, and desired them to separate, and taking the woman a by the shoulders, ordered her to go in an opposite direc t% tion to the male prisoner, so that the quarrel might not I be renewed. She seemed willing to do so, but when he attempted to remove the scale prisoner, she returned, I, l ' and both used the grossest language. Finding remon !N s trance useless, Cale took John Shea into custody ; but 17 ° he had no sooner done so than the ruffian knocked him down on the pavement. The officer rose, but was twice t more thown upon the flags with the same dreadful vio % lence. When Cale attempted to raise himself from the ground the fourth time, Shea threw himself upon him, and, thrusting his hand between the policemen's leather 57, stock and his throat, and forcing his knuckles against '34 his windpipe, would unquestionably have strangled him had not several civilians come up . at the moment, and with much difficulty dragged the prisoner away from him. One of these persons deposed that upon their arrival in the constable was quite black in the face, and seemed to be in a state of suffocation from the prisoner's violence. The prisoner kicked Cale on the body, and endeavoured I to inflict injuries on the most delicate and vital parts of his frame. The female prisoner seized 38 Gby the hair of the head, when he came to the assistance of his brother officer, and attempted to excite the mob to rescue John Shea. On their way to the station-house, in the morning, both prisoners made a most violent and determined resistance—and Sergeant Dodd, 9 E, Jarvis, 41 E, and police-constable 95 E, received some severe blows from them. The prisoners laughed during the examination, and seemed to treat the matter with the greatest indifference. The male prisoner, who is a desperate and powerful fellow, appeared in Court without a coat. He refused to make any defence. Mr. GREENwoori sentenced him to a month's impri sonment in the House of Correction, without fine, and the female`to twenty-one days' imprisonment. IVORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Smith, a young man of very respectable ap pearance' who was described as a wine agent, residing in Great Chart-street, Hoxton, was brought before Mr. Bingham on a charge of having disturbed and an noyed Mr. Charles Packer, a surgeon, in Pitfield-street, by ringing his door bell without lawful excuse. The complainant stated, that, about twelve o'clock on the preceding night, the bell at his door was violently rung, and immediately afterwards his assistant came up stairs, and .informed him that some one had called and IN CANALS, RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE AND OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK. the law respecting Presbyterian marriages. Sir E. HAYES presented petitions from Donegal to LONDON, TUESDAY,' MAY 21. ;he same effect. Mr. GRANGER "resented petitions against the Amount Dissenters' Chapels Bill. Petitions to the same effect were presented by Mr. Lockart, Mr. G. Knight, Lord Ashley, and Mr. Villiers. Mr. GIBSON presented a petition against the rating under the new poor-law. Dr. BOWRING presented a petition to the same effect. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from York against the County Courts Bill ; also a petition from Aberdeen, complaining of the present state of tailoring there. Mr. ARKWRIGHT presented a petition against the union of the sees of Bangor and St. Asaph. Lord CLIVE presented a petition from St. Pancras, to the same effect. Lord ELIOT presented a petition from Cornwall, praying the House to afford greater discretion to poor law guardians with regard to the payment of medical officers. Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition in favour of Sab bath observance. Dr. BOWRING gave notice that he would that day fortnight call the attention of the House to the state of the public accounts, and the necessity of reforming them. Mr. VILLIERS gave notice that he would that day fortnight bring forward his motion on the subject of the corn-laws. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE postponed for a fortnight his motion with respect to the petition of Charles Price and William White Thomp on. Mr. CHRISTIE postponed, until to-morrow, lAs motion for an inquiry into the state of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. TIIE STATE TRIALS.—IRELAND. Names of Com panies. Share. Canals.

DUNCOMBE begged to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the Custom-house frauds would be ready to be delivered to Hon. Members. He per ceived by the Times, that that journal was in possession of the report, as it commented upon it in terms not very complimentary to the Custom-house, but quite as com plimentary as the Custom-house deserved. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had no knowledge of how that journal got possession of the report. He was aware that it was in type, and as soon as ready for delivery it would be laid on the table. ANATOMY ACT. Mr. BORTH WICK rose to bring forward his motion for a Committee of Inquiry into the operation of the Anatomy Act, and into the allegations contained in the petition of Mr. Roberts, presented on the 25th of March last. He should spare the time of the House and the sensibilities of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State, by abstaining from having the petition read at;the table; and he should only recur to such portions of those allegations as he considered the House were called on by public principle to notice. The question was whether the Bill which the Hon. Gen tleman had brought before the House, and which was now the law of the land, had effected those great objects at which it aimed, or whether it was required, as the numerous petitions laid on the table of the House showed, to be remodelled, for the purpose of really carrying out those objects ? He was of opinion that the Bill required careful remodelling. Its principle was to prevent the traffic in dead bodies, but there was nothing in it to pre vent the traffic in parts of dead bodies, and according to the statements in the petitions, there were numerous instances in which that traffic was still followed. He believed that the Right Honourable Gentleman would state that such an allegation was not capable of proof. If such were the case, - there was the greater reason for granting the Committee, in order to set the matter at rest. Had he been in the House in 1832 he should have paused a long time before he con sented to the passing of the Bill. He thought that the Bill created even greater evils than those which it was intended to remedy. The law was entitled to the ut most consideration of the House, because it affected the interests of the humblest portion of her Majesty's subjects. It was calculated that about 600 bodies were now annually used for dissection in the different schools ; but if the antiseptic process discovered by Mr. Roberts were intro duced, 200 bodies would be sufficient.. If he got the Committee he asked for, he would be able to prove that Mr. Roberts had been grossly ill used. Mr. Roberts had received certificates from ten of the most eminent professors of surgery, approving of his plan. An HON. MEMBER here moved that the House be counted, and there only being 31 Members present, the House adjourned at Half-past Five till this day.

Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock. Messengers from the Commons brought up several Lord MELVILLE presented a petition from Peeble shire against any alteration in the mode of assessing Roman Catholics to the poor. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the county of Ayr, praying for protection to agr i c ulture. Earl FITZWILLIAM wished to know if the peti tioners prayed for further protection, or enly a con tinuance of the present protection. The Duke of RICHMOND—The petition only prays for a continuance of the present protection; but I have no doubt that the petitioners agree with me in thinking that we could do very well with a little more. Earl MINTO gave notice of his intention to put a question to her Majesty's Government, after the recess, as to whether they intended to propose any other mea sure for increasing the salaries of schoolmasters in Scot- land. Several petitions were presented in favour of the Leeds and Bradford Railway. Earl FORTESCUE moved for certain papers relating to the dismissal of Mr. Gray from the magistracy in Ireland. Earl BROWNLOW presented petitions in favour o the Leeds and Bradford Railway. Lord BROUGHAM deprecated the practice which had grown up this year of laying down a single line of rails on railways, similar to the Leeds and Bradford, and Lancaster and Carlisle Railways. Several other Noble Lords expressed a similar opinion. Lord BROUGHAM laid on the table of the House a Bill to amend the laws relating to imprisonment for debt. FRENCH INTERFERENCE AT TUNIS. Lord BEAUMONT then rose, pursuant to notice, to move for copies of the correspondence which had taken place between her Majesty's Government and the Bri tish Consul at Tunis, on the subject of a trial of a Maltese subject for the crime of murder. His object in submitting this motion to their Lordships was to show that a most unwarrantable interference had been shown by the French at Tunis, and to show that by that interference the treaty which had been entered into between the Sublime Porte, this country, and the Dey of Tunis, had been violated. If such interference as that which had been shown by the French in this case was to be tolerated by this country, he felt that our trade along the Barbary coast would soon be at an end. He thought that this was a case which the Foreign-office ought to take up; and it was in the hope of producing this effect that he had brought forward this motion. Who were the persons who claimed in this manner the , protection of the British flag — were they re s p ectable British merchants ? Very few of them. Were they the descendants of British residents ? Very few of them. They were the very dross of the people—persons who perhaps had, on one or two occasions, acted as interpre ters; or who had obtained their protection, and who made use of it to commit with impunity robberies and murders of the most atrocious cha racter? He trusted the Noble Earl would devise some means of putting an end to such a disgraceful state of things. He was sorry to see from the Maltese papers that the inhabitants of Malta had taken up the cause of the guilty man, and had presented an address to the French Consul, praising him for his interference, and blaming Sir Thomas Reade for abandoning the murderer to justice. He could understand how the Maltese might have a fellow-feeling for a coun tryman, but they ought to have been actuated by a feeling of horror and disgust for the murderer. The Noble Lord concluded by moving that an humble address be presented to her Majesty for extracts from the correspondence between the Foreign office and Sir Thomas Reade, Consul at Tunis, respecting the trial of the Maltese Xulbet, and the interference of the French Consul-General Monsieur de Lagan. Lord ABERDEEN said that the difficulties con nected with the jurisdiction of the Levant were very great indeed, and no man knew them better than the Noble Lord opposite. He (Lord Aberdeen) had himself introduced a Bill which had become the law of the land, and which he thought would apply a remedy which would remove those difficulties. He had no objection to lay the correspon dence which the Noble Lord moved for on the table of the House. The case to which those papers referred was that of a cold-blooded murder executed in broad day ; and the course which had been pursued by her Majesty's Government in this matter was consistent with existing treaties, and was under the sanction of the highest legal authority. With respect to the conduct of certain functionaries at Tunis in this proceeding, it did not in the slightest degree affect the decision and the conduct of the Government ; but he did not think it a proper subject of discussion in that House. It was more suited fur the interference of Go vernment, by whom due notice had been taken of the conduct to which the Noble Lord had referred ; but although the Government had no wish to protect crimes committed by British subjects, they were by no means indifferent to the rights of the Christians in the East ; and he wished to take that op portunity of stating to their Lordships that Government had lately succeeded with the Porte in preventing the revival 'of an obsolete practice by . which Christians who had embraced Mo hammedanism and returned to Christianity were put to death. The papers connected with that transaction having been moved for in the House of Commons, he now, by her Majesty's command, laid them on the table of their Lordships, and the other papers to which the Noble Lord had referred should be prepared immediately, and also laid on the table of the House. Lord WHARNCLIFFE inquired of Lord Campbc:l whether lie thought it probable that his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Cottenhatn) would postpone the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debts Bill? Lord CAMPBELL said he had no authority for say ing that his Noble and Learned Friend would postpone it ; he thought it highly probable that he would not ac cede to any such proposal. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF ,COMMONS, May 21. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. PARLIAMENTARY MISTAKE. • Mr. ESTCOURT moved that the Bill, intituled "An Act to rectify a mistake as to the proceedings in the Eastern Counties Railway Bill and the Eastern Counties Railway (Brandon and Peterborough .

After a few words from Mr. LABOUCHERE, the Bill went through the various stages, and was passed. The Report on the South-Eastern Railway was further considered, and ordered to be engrossed.
