BaOy6.llAu *.l id the inhabitants considered thSa epithet as an insult; and • been still representative of had his Noble Friend that c ity, . would not have had the support ofili3 CODSatnen in what he . itatei. Lord CAMPBELL then described Lord .13ii0VGIIA1t as an Alcibiades, a Pericles, and a Demosthenes, and the conversation (in , the Parliamentary phrase) dropped. Lori CAMPTInI.I. moved the committal of the Writ of Error* Bill. Loun CIAANCELLOII opposed it, and said, he verily believed the Bill had been introduced solely .. in reference to the- trials pending in Ireland. A g ri, C....9,T_Tn1104 , 4uPPQrted Abe nothing could be mota , prepostaeousigtart tittni-tiatty should be undergoing a punishment while a Court of Appeal was deliberating whether that punishment ought to be inflicted. We believe every man in the kingdom concurs with Lord COTTENIIAM, yet the Bill was rejected without a division, The House aijourned a.t Ilalf.intst Eight o'Clock. In the House of Co:ornons, after a variety of pro c:erlings which cannot be abridged more than they are in the Parliamentary report, Mr. WYsis asked Sir: R. Pent, whether there would be any cibjection to by on the table the oi_dnions of- Counsel delivered to the Treasury relative to Arts. Union ? Sir R. PEEL ans;Verei in the negative, and added ,that the Government had no intention of prodding against thoze societies. The matter rested with com mon informers. In answer to questions from Mr. GISDOR NE and Lord SANDON, Mr. GLADSTON E said that in the course of three weeks at the utmost, the resolutions proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the ExcnEctunn fur the re duction of duties on certain articles would probably be adopted by the Legislature. In answer to a question from a Member relative to the communication with Ireland, Sir R. PEEL said the great object of the Government was to have a speedy conannmication, and, taking into aecount the reports of professional men., he preferred the line by Holyhead. Leave was given to bring in Bills for the reduction of duties on glass, vinegar, and marine insurances. The CHANCELLOR of the Excaagung obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to savings' banks, the principal provisions of which are to reduce the rate of interest from 21d. to 2d. per day, to reduce the amount which any person could invest in one year from 301. to 201., and that, when ever the capital and interest , should amount to 1.501-, the interest should cease. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Six. The debate in the House of Commons, on Wednesday ,night, on the motion for going into Committee on the " Masters and Servants Bill," terminated in another defeat of Sir R. PESCS very " powerful" Govern ment. By the rejection of this motion, the Bill it self was lost. A majority of 43, in a House of 15t Members (exclusive of the tellers), concurred in kicking out a measure which, in the "alter-ed shape" or "form," as Sir JAMES GRAHAM modestly desig nates the reconstructive process through which it had passed under Government manipulation, certainly embodied the most stringent and outrageous penal legislation:which-in sour; time been-ever pro ptised-te. visit silip , st.'tfie": iscitide‘a is.p. r -iiiT li ipyi".l dens , cOnseie'ntiou'slyslaelevitisatatissare is ne imember of abt Administration,Lexcept Agir James ;irotild ; h folktitea*4 4,e;*kasi'rrio.l leinity of go .. nollotts an expeiinient On the Tights asid t the, feelings of labourer; and servants. But in the face of all the storm of indigestion which Mr. THOMAS DtINCOMBE'S powerful exposition of its enactments conjured up from all sides of the House at so unconstitutional and ill-omened a piece of work, Sir JAMBS persevered in pressing the House for judgment, with that graceful pertinacity which is sure to provide some disgrace' or disaster for his -party once, at least, in a month. He was, as usual, didactic and sarcastic ; rebuked opposition Members in aTiTierrla f forbearing, half patronising; and invoked the support of the friends of Govern , ment with a haughty confidence that, in spite of the invincible affectation of his manner, was sufficiently transparent to indicate his own assurance of succees. Truly the ship, of which Sir RoBEIT PIM. is helms man, has got, in Sir JAMES, as unlucky a JoNAH as ever was thrown overboard by those who had had enough of his company. In her next venture amidst breakers we may anticipate for her, one of these days, that destiny to which the Lord of Netberby has se marvellous a genius for conducting his friends. He is like Captain MARYATT'S Peter Scluifter—he never sails but a storm overtakes him, and never takes up his berth in a craft which does not founder with all who have been silly enough to embank with him. The whole affair of Wednesday was an instructive commentary on the Right Hon. Secretary of State's mode of "doing." business. Mr. THOMAS Dos- COSIns, in a speech meritorious alike for its clever ness and its temperate expression, followed np the presentation of more than 150 petitions against the Bill, from various parts of the country and many dis tricts of the metropolis, by stating the objections he had to urge on behalf of the 2,000,000 of petitioners whom he represented. He said that those petitioners had truly designated the Bill as " one of the most mtaastrous, oppressive, arbitrary, iniquitous, and tyrannical attempts to oppress the working classes that had ever been made." What is remarkable— and very characteristic, looking to the subsequent in • terposition of . Sir JAmEs—Mr. DLINCOSIBE said that in its. original shape the' Bill was a very good one; that is, as Mr. MILES had brought it in, " its object was humane and proper. If it sonthWhat in creased the power of the justiees, it did so fur the purpose, of facilitating the recovery, by workmen, of . their. wages. The 'House bad therefore passed the Bill through - its first - stages; but it had been imposed on by false colours and pretences." . When Mr. Hawse, in a later stage of the.session, had asked the' Right Hon. Secretary for some explanation as to the alterations introduced': that functionary had replied thit Mr. -Mum was responsible for them. Mr. 11.111..n.s stated that the Bill had been drawn up by de sire of the Government. Bat on Wednesday night Mr.. MI4Es .went" & far . as to say that his Bill had keen so changedt;yGovernment that lie birnselfdid not know his own-bantling I This is more intelligible and pre cis& than'J Sir JAMES GtAusit's eonfession to its pa ternity 'as t,o "form" only. what were the, grounds on which Mr. Dmacesinn•ioduced the House to, diseatd this ill-conditioned illegitiMte, whom one • putative father -could not recognizi "and the other shrank from ?, - . . • Mr. buNcoirtz. .gsye an:: oncellent summary of, .forwer enactments on Abe points at' issue, to be found in the sth Elizabeth, c. 4 . ; 20th.

They might be itnprisoaed for two months upon the oath of. the76)reraaa or overseer, it' they were only five minutes too. late." Mr. }lrate forcibly remarked that "this Bill wag altogether ft new I?ill'from thltt which wits originally introdneed by the Hop. Mentber for 9ornersetshire. Several elausei in the original print of thig whieli would hitvegiven relief - to the working classes, were - now ornitled froin it." • .• Sir J./.1%1p G . 2ANA3iti defence of Bill amoant.ed • The present law appeared' to him to operate against the it - oximeni and tuadury 'and unfairly in favour of the masters. Ily the law now in force any emfiloye; might Curia - plain against a Servant or labourer for allegod misderuezmour, nris carriage, ill-behaviour,:or "misconduct before one justice, who *might forthwith issge, not a summons, but a warrant, to rip- Piaci - id the perrien of the labourer, and.might imprisoahirn With hard labour .for three months. Rut if, on . ;the other hand, A servaut labnurer complained against his master, he had no Warrant to'apprehend . the master, but a summons only issued . against, the master." This . certainly was an. oppressive state of the law. • . < But,las Mr. Iluigs had shown, Mr. Mu.nt's Bill, in its. original shape, hall rectified it. What answer does all•thi4 special pleading of Sir 'JAMBS .G.SAIiAII to the grave offence of patronising.' such in tolerable enactments as Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, in the passages we have given above, so forcibly denounced?

Assuredly the brains of cur rulers have gone wool gathering -with a vengeance! Two exquisite rea sons have been assigned by Mr. GOULBusx for making such a distinction between wool and other agricultural produce. lle says that " wool is the raw material of an important _branch of the national - manufactures;" no free trader could assign a bettZ4 reivon for the removal of monopoliit restric tions and discriminating duties; but can any man tell why the application of this principle should be con fined to the sheep-walk and not extended to the corn field? Wheat is one of the most important of taw materials in every branch of manufactures ; the weaver must have food as well as yarn ere he can use his loom ; the smith must have bread as well as iron ere he can exercise his hammer. We say no thing of the many manufactures in which flour is used in various shapes ; this though not unimportant scarcely strengthens a case, in which every possible form of industry has a direct .and obvious claim. Unless man eat they cannot work, and unless they work they can produce no manufactures. Wool and corn stand precisely in the same position, and Mr. GOULBURN'S principle (yvould, that we could add his practice), are just as applicable to the one as to the other. • The sapient Duke of RICILMOND, who has been placed at the head of the land-monopolists vine BUCKISGIUM Seponeded or sequestrated, has taken alarm at the Chancellor's new profession of faith in free trade, and has given notioe of a motion which will afford him an opportunity of reading a homily to his creatures, the Ministers, on these symptoms of rejecting the infallible decrees of the snuggery at Goodwood. The bleatings of the sheep on tha downs of Sussex will not be more pathetic or more pastoral than his promised oration. We seem already to hear his Pandean pipes attuned to notes of woe, and his title established to the name of " Gentle Shepherd," _which has remained unappropriated since the days of ' IVIIATIIANt. We can fancy his melodious sorrowings over deserted sheep-walks, exiled shepherds, absent shoulders of muttnn, unattainable trotters, and lamb disappearing to the MA nifest danger of the mint. "How fluent nonsense trickles from his tongue, How sweet the periods neither said nor sung." But his Grace's sympathetic bleatings will be of no avail. The West Riding of Yorkshire has triumphed over Sussex ; wool has won a victory over mutton; and henceforth the total and immediate repeal of the agricultural protection is an established precedent and recoguisecl principle. in legislation. f , ! • GoutnuaU "tedibeisted the repeal of ',the wool clittie `oil ite6Ourit 'of the 'stimulus 'that ull.,thus ',Oren to znanufactufts.... Thus early, has the senseless f~rllße3 of vior-produ'etiaii beeri'''abandeited by' those who took it up for a party purpose. Instead of pre tending to fear any surplus of production, the Minis ters plainly declare that it is the ditty of statesmen to stimulate production, and to remove the restrictions by which it is fettered. It is to be regretted that those converts to the true faith are not yet so tho roughly fixed in their new creed as to be perfectly ' consistent. The protection accorded to cern is a greater blight on industry than that which was granted to wool, and we hope that the defiance given to the monopolists in we item will inspire courage to attack their citadel. We quote the followingpessege from an interesting document which has been issued from the Metropoli tan Police-office in Whitehall, and which contains n account of the number of persons taken into custody by the police authorities, and the results, in the year 1843 :—" Respecting the degree of instruction of the persons taken into custody, it appears that oat of 62,447 individuals taken p, 11,336 males and 5,682 finales—in all 16,918—could neither read nor write; that 2.5,897 males and 13,170 females—in all 39,067 —could read only, or read and write but imperfectly ; that 4,918 males aril 905 females—in all 5,323 — could read and write well, and that 654 males and 15 females were of superior instruction. Of the number summarily convicted or bailed, 7,053 per sons could neither rood nor write ; 15,924 but imperfectly ; 2,874 well ; and 320 had had superior instruction. Of those tried and convicted, 1,214 could neither read nor write ; 2,088 but im perfectly ; 172 well; and 31 had received a good education." These criminal statistics are exceed ingly curious and important, and show—what we have often taken occasion to remark—hew sloasty, we might almost add, how inseparably, connected with each other are crime and ignorance. We here find that by far the greater raajonity of persons taken into custody by the metropolitan police consists of those who can neither read nor write, and that the numbers are few, comparatively speaking, of those who have received the benefits of education. Surely facts like these—facts given on unimpeachable evi • deuce—should speak trumpet-tongued in favour of a system of general instruction fur the lower classe3l Of what use is it to build new churches'in the metro polis, when there are so many thousand people resi dent in London and its suburbs, who aro unable to avail themselves of, such a spiritual advantage, by reason of their utter inability to read the word of GOD? To our thinking, the Bishop of LONDON, hold ing the high—the solemn—the responsible office that he does, would be far more serviceably employed in endeavouring to provide the means of education for the neglected poor of his vast diocese, than in building new religious structures, front which those only can expect to derive spiritual benefit, who have received some sort of instruction. It is idle to hope to engraft a sound religious feeling on the minds of the utterly ignorant. The soil must first be cultivated so as to fitit to receive the wholesome seed, otherwise it will never-bring forth fruit in, duo seasen.

Churchmen, however, can never he brought to see this, even though the prods of the dreadful immo rality and impiety-that are the almost invariable con comitants of ignorance, are constantly before their eyes. ileally our men in authority, whether lay or clerical, have much to answer for, in not at once straining every nerve in order tie supply the benighted lower .classes of their fellow-countrymen with the blessings of a sound, }lamely, practical education. The evil is one that ought to be immediately grappled with, fta it yearly assumes a more dangerous charac ter, such as cannot fail to excite a feeling of deep anxiety- in the minds of all thinking people.

"We have. been assured," adds that journal, "that the reply of the chief of the State to the good wishes of the venerable Archbishop did not breathe the benevolence usual on such 'occasions.

SN TIIE CASE OE DICE SOMBRE, A LUNATIC. This case came before the Court upon the petition of Mr. Dyce Sombre, late M.P. for Sudbury, praying the super seding of the commission that had been issued against him. Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr. Wakefield were specially re tained on behalf of Mr. Ds cc Sombre. Mr. Bethel' and Mr. Calvert appeared for the committee of the person, Mrs. Dyce Sombre, and Mr. Tinneyfor the com mittee of the estate. Sir T. Wilde was about to open the petition, when Mr. Thmint,r., on behalf of the committee of the person, took a preliminary objection to its being heard, on the ground that Mr. Dyce Sombre was in Paris, and could not be exa mined by the Chancellor as to his state of mind. The Learned Counsel submitted that no case had ever occurred in which the Court had superseded the Commission without seeing the object of it. Mr. CALVERT followed on the same side. Sir T. WILDE and Mr. WAKKFIELD contended that it was not a necessary ingredient in superseding a Commission that the Chancellor should see the object of it. After some discussion, in which the Lord Chancellor re. peatedly stated his strong opinion that he ought to see Mr. Dyes Sombre before he could venture to supersede the Com mission, and it being intimated by Sir Thos. Vs that Mr. Dyce Sombre had an impression that if he came to this coun try he would be deprived of his liberty, Mr. BETIIELL, on the part of the committee of the person, gave an undertaking that if Mr. Dyce Sombre came to this country, nothing should be done to interfere with his liberty exeepi under the order and sanction of the Lord Chancellor. The Loup CDA—NcELLDE thought, if what had now been done was communicated properly to Mr. Dyce Sombre, he would not hesitate to come to this country. If he did so, he might feel assured that he (the Lord Chancellor) would do nothing to interfere with his liberty, unless he committed acts of violence, and from what he (the Lord Chancellor) had heard of the course of conduct pursued by Mr. Dyce Sombre abroad, he believed that he would commit no such acts. The only object he (the Lord Chancellor) could have in view was the interest of Mr. Dyce Sombre, and that alone. The petition was then ordered to stand over. TULLOCII V. HARTI.EY. The Court then proceeded with the further arguments in this appeal, which occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. ROLLS' 'COURT.-(THIS DAY). (Before the MASTER of the Rou.s.)

Mr. HILL applied to the Court for a rule to show cau,e why 11 mandamus should not issue, calling upon the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London, to admit Mr. W. H. Ashurst, an attorney of this Court, an attorney of the Lord '}layor's Court. The application was made under the statute 6 and 7 Victoria, which enacts, that an attorney of a higher court may be admitted an attorney of an inferior court. Mr. Ashurst had made his application according to the form pre scribed, and had also produced the documents required by the Act, but the Recorder had so much doubt upon the sub ject that he advised an application to this Court for a man granted. danum—Rule _COMMON PLEAS—(THIS DAY.)

A respectable-looking man, named Gardner, the money taker at the Strand Theatre, was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with assaulting William Stubbing, at the theatre, last night. The complainant stated that he went to the pit of the theatre last night with his wife. He put down half-a-crown to pay for admission at half-price ; and when he got into the pit with his wife, he suddenly remembered that he had not received the sixpence change. He went back to the de f adant, and told him of the circumstance, and the defendant SA id ho had given the sixpence, and if somebody else had taken it up, he could not help it. The complainant became rather excited, and told the defendant that if he did not give him the sixpence, he would be acting as a swindler. .I.lpon this the defendant struck the witness a violent blow in the month, and he was, in consequence, given into custody. The defendant said the complainant was very insolent and offensive in his behaviour. When the complainant came to him ho examined his cash, and found that it was correct ; and he therefore told the complainant that he should nut give him the sixpence back. Upon this the complainant called him a swindler And a vagabond. Mr. JARDINg stritrthis was not sufficient to justify a blow. As, however, there was some provocation, he would only in flict_ a penalty of 10s.—The money was immediately paid. RiARYLEBONE.;—(THIS Charles Barret, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, described as an artist, was placed. before Mr. Long, charged by one of the park-keepers of the Regent's-park, with having eut some letters upon one of he seats there. The park-keeper stated that seeing the defendant rising from the seat be went there, and found that it had been in jured. He therefore took him into custody. The defendant had nothing to say in extenuation. Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, suggested that the defendant, being•an artist, might wish to leave upon record a specimen Of wood engraving. Mr, LoNra did not wish to repress genius, but public pro perty wed be protected.—Fined 10s. • UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Two notorious young pickpockets, named Hitter and Jones, were chargud before Mr. Trail with stealing -a silk handker chidfrom the pocket of Mr. Fenwick, the firework-manufac tuser, la the Borough-road. The complainant stated that on the preceding afternoon, as he was walking along the Westminster-road, he felt a tug at his coat pocket, and missed a silk handkerchief. He turned round.and saw the two prisoders and another lad (not in cus tody) immediatelybehind him, and at the. same time saw the handkerchief fall on the ground from one of them.
