SPIRIT OF .TUB PUBLIC JOURNALS. Mr. Poulett Scropes excellent Bill for the attain ment of uniformity of rating and superseding the mys tical modes of rating on two-thirds and four-fifths of the annual value (all of which modes are only means of committing frauds), taken up the other night by Mr. Poulett Thonison' after having been returned from the House of Lords with , certain useful amend ments introduced by. the Duke of Richmond, and sup ported by Lord Langdale, was endangered on Satur day by the opposition of Mr. Aglionby and some other Members, who are allies of Mr. Walter in his hostility to the Poor Law Amendment Act. The Rating Bill, it should be understood, is not a Bill for any new valuation of all the parishes throughout the country ; its chief operation will be in the change of proportion ; though that change may, in some par ticular instances, lead to a re-valuation. In many cases, where the valuation has been made by ignorant overseers, or the dominant parties in those petty jobo cracies, the vestries, great discontent exists at the consequent oppressive inequalities, and a new valuation is obviously required. The Bill, as it went to the House of Lords, contained no provision for any valua tion. The Duke of Richmond and the Master of the Rolls considered that some provision should be made for the appointment of a valuer, otherwise the valuations must be made by the parties who have cre ated the inequalities complained of ; namely, the over seers in vestry, or the select vestrymen. These per sons, it is held, cannot legally appoint valuers any more than they are entitled to appoint assistant over seers, except under the express sanction of some statute. And if they did appoint the valuers, the ap pointments would be the same sort of jobs that appointments by overseers and vestries have heretofore been ; and we should see the old contests revived, where the candidates contend for the places on the g round of their having large f am ili es , o f l ong res idence in the parish, and of having failed in trade. The Poor-law Commissioners have found it necessary, as checks to this propensity to make jobbing and unfit appointments, to disallow the appointment of bank rupts and insolvents for the future. The Duke of Richmond and Lord Langdale's amendments provide that the valuers shall be appointed by the board of guardians. Mr. Aglionby, and those who have de clared their opposition to the Poor-law Amendment Act, have actually announced their intention of op posing the clauses, and of inserting others for .giving the power to the vestries ; which will, in fact, perpetuate the mischief, if earlier] ; but have no doubt will be properly rejected. The esta-' biishment or perpetuation of distinct and clashing authorities for the transaction of the same class of business is in itself a legislative absurdity, and mere mischief to both authorities, who are thus maintained in conflict. The appointment of valuers by the over seers, or by the vestries, is very nearly the same as valuations by themselves. It sounds large to talk of the inhabitants in vestry assembled ; but every person who has any knowledge of these matters, must be well aware that the inhabitants at large rarely can, or seldom, if ever, do attend to such matters collec tively, and that they gradually fall into the hands of low cliques of jobbers, who, in the towns, are begin ning to cloak their jobbery under the garb of patriotic opposition to the Government authorities. In the same manner as the old vestries and overseers—the managers of the old watch—endeavoured to per suade the public that the liberties of Englishmen were et an end, because they had no longer the power of appointing their decayed porters and serving men to protect our liberties as a nightly watch. The valuations by vestries is commonly a means of re du Zing the rates of the particular vestrymen. In rural parishes, it is frequently a contest of injustice be tween contending factions—an injustice and a griev ance of which the oppressed individual can only re lieve himself by means of a still greater grievance—a law- suit. The board of guardians, composed of the representatives of twenty or more parishes within an union, will not collectively have the same interests as the vestry, and will, more over, be responsible for their choice and for the fair ness of the results. As the Bill now stands, whilst vexatious re-valuations will be prevented, such new valuations as are made may be made on one uniform plan throughout the kingdom, and the future improve ment of this department of administration may be much facilitated. These useful results are in no way con sidered ; and the whole pretext for opposition appears to be based on the fact that the guardians are elected by a plurality of votes, and that in some of the unions Tories have been returned. On this subject there has been much fraudulent tnisrepresentation by the de feated bands of jobbers in the town parishes. Without entering into the question of the propriety of giving to the owners votes in the administration of a tax which is mainly borne by them, it may suffice to say that the occupiers preponderate individually as well as by their votes. From the returns of the metropolitan electors for boards of guardians, it appears that there were fifteen thousand occupiers' votes to nine thousand votes of owners and owners' proxies. Very recently a meeting was held in the populous parish of St. Clement Danes, to get up memorials against the Poor Law Amendment Bill. At this meeting, which was blazoned forth as a meeting of the whole of that po pulous parish, we believe that not more than about thirty persons attended. These consisted chiefly of the party of the Vestrymen who had been defeated as candidates for the guardianship. These parties were rejected by a majority so great, that they could not have retained power if the election had been by the single votes. The consequence of the election of the guardians in that parish has already been a reduction of the rate of expenditure to nearly two-thirds the amount under the old regime. In another populous parish, where the old officers, who were rejected by the people at the election, and who got up a meetiNg and a deputation to Lord John Russell and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, they com plained of the plurality of votes, but, nevertheless, well knew that they - were rejected by a majority of the single votes. The meeting consisted of twenty persons, including the rejected candidates and the re quisitionists and attendants, who coolly assumed the re presentation of a parish of between 5 and 6,000 inhabi tants. Hitherto these new boards have been unmarked by any party politics, and we are assured that in the whole of the metropolis there is not one board of Tories, or one where there is not an admixture of persons sup porting Liberal opinions. Even in the list opposed to Messrs. Murphy, & c ., at St. Pancras, the otherday, there were several persons who had voted for Liberal candi dates. If these boards were rendered the scenes of political contests, then would the profession of Liberal politics be made the means of local jobbing. It is true that the ex-qfficio guardi ans , 'beim, magistrates, are mostly Tories, but they are not more than two or three at the most to every twenty elected guardians. A t all events, the enemies of the consolidatio n and the efficient operation of the Poor Law Amendment Act, are the enemies of the most important reform by which the character and condition of the labouring classes can be elevated. No unprejudiced person can view the former and the present condition of the labouring classes in the rural districts without seeing that all po litical reforms in their practical operation are of subor dinate importance to ft.—Morning Chronicle. The Newspaper Stamp Duties Bill, which is now secured from the machinations of false friends, and the direct hostility of avowed foes, is, beyond compe tition, the most important act of the Session, and the most severe blow which since the Reform Act has been dealt to the enemies of just and popular govern ment. The reduction of the duty in itself is a matter of comparative insignificance, but the force of opinion which it wilt afford means of putting into action will accelerate the progress of reform to a degree which may be expe c t e d to effe c t most i mportan t and bene ficial changes throughout our whole political system. It would be most absurd to suppose that the Lords were friendly to the measure, or that their rejection of the registration clause was intended for any other object than the delay of the Bill for another Ses sion. Were any other result contemplated, the ori ginal Bill would not have been allowed by the Tories, and not by the Tories only, but by many false Liberals in the House of Commons, to escape without a more decided attack upon its principle ; but their forbear ance arose from the expectation that when the Bill would be mutilated by the Lords, it would, like the other maimed measures which have been re- turned to the Commons, be thrown aside until next I session, and thus its defeat be effected without the 1 enemies of -free discussion in the House of Com- ' mons being exposed to the odium of its failure. None can be so foolish as to believe that the Lords would have consented to the total abolition of the Stamp Duty ; their challenge to the Ministry on this subject was mere swagger and bluster, as was clearly evidenced by the silence maintained when Lord Melbourne, taking up the gage, boldly asked if a Bill were brought in for the abolition of the duty Would their Lordships support it ? The Duke of Wellington and Lord Lyndhurst hung down their heads and blinked the question. The registration clause being an interpolation in the original Bill, made by parties unconnected with the Government, Ministers 'were re sponsible for its introduction only to the extent of a too ready acquiescence with the wishes of parties, who, to serve their own selfish purposes, would unhesitat ingly sacrifice every interest of the country. We trust •that the Government will profit by its experience, and ponder well the justice of the principle and the wishes of the community, before they yield in future to the suggestions of designing individuals, reckless of all interests but their own, and ready to advocate or oppose any measure, as it may advance . or retard their own purposes, and not as it may promote or prevent the general prosperity. The Bill without the registration clause, which, as we have said, was not of Government concoction, was a most popular Bill, .and would have done immortal honour to the Government. In a House consisting of about 58 Members, that clause was carried, and un fortunately the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not find a sufficient number of friends to support him in his anxious determination to frustrate it ; and, there fore, no blame rests with him for having allowed it to pass for the moment : but we beg distinctly to state once and for all, that that clause was not a Government clause—that it was repugnant to the feelings of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that those who assert that it was agreeable to the Government, egregi ously lie against what they know to be the fact. We think, under all circumstances, the Chancellor of the Exchequer chose the right course, and that Lord Mel bourne, knowing the opposition which the Bill would otherwise have received in the House of Lords, was right in advocating it, in order to carry the great prin ciple of a reduction of the taxes on knowledge. The penny stamp is now carried without opposition, and May fairly be remembered not only as the fairest feather in the cap of the Melbourne Cabinet, but as a measure which the Tories would never have accomplished in any stage of their existence. It is the death-blow of the faction and of all its malevolent qualities:-L--Morn ing Advertiser. There can be no doubt, we imagine, but that the people of Westminster; of whatever political way of thinking, must be heartily sick and disgusted' with the present state of its representation—which may be said to consist of one worn-out absent Whig, and of another absent Radical ; so that, while the city of London has had four active representatives always at their post, this important portion of the metropolis may be truly said—for the whole of the present session at least—to have been virtually not represented at all. No wonder then that we hear of movements being commenced to put an end to such a state of things.. As for a disso lution of Parliament, which Mr. Hume, in the certainty of being housted from Middlesex, proposes with so much disinterestedness to Ministers, we suspect that neither the Members for Cambridge, for Tiverton, or Stroud, —to say nothing of some others—find their own seats secure enough to venture upon so bold an experiment ; so that, therefore, the electors of Westminster are not very likely to succeed in their object that way. 'But there is a way in which we think both their Members shoirld, as men of honour, afford them the wished-for oppor tunity—which is, by each resigning a trust of which they have both so long neglected the duties, and it is not unreasonable, therefore, to expect that such will soon be the case. To be sure, it will seem somewhat inconsistent in the Honourable Gentlemen to have re tained their seats while Parliament .has been . sitting, and to resign them when the Session is at an end. But still the electors of Westminster will, we have no doubt, embrace the " better late than never" with . commen dable avidity. We rejoice to learn that the friends of Sir George Murray are in the field, and that the Con servatives of Westminster are likely to have an oppor tunity of trying their strength under the banners of so admirable a leader. Westminster has heretofore rec koned among its representatives some of the most dis tinguished of cur naval and military heroes. Sir George Murray, who, as a military hero, yields to none' of these, adds to his professional honours the not less distinguishing characteristic of being an enlightened Statesman, and a thorough man of business.—Morn ing Herald. Formerly, in the high and palmy days of the Jesuits, it is well known that there was scarcely a Court in continental Europe whose affairs were inac cessible to the pryings and machinations of that in triguing brotherhood. If they could not contrive to have an abbe or two in official employment as Minis ters of State, they generally made it a point to worm themselves into political influence as tutors to young Princes, or as private chaplains to Queens, or still better, as confessors of the mistresses of Ministers ; nor were these emissaries of Rome ever so indifferent to the interests of the Holy See, and of their own order, as to content themselves with shriving the softer frailties disclosed at the confessional, without at the same time disburdening their penitents of such State secrets as any of them might chance to be possessed of. Now, in this organized system of spies, sentinels, agents, and abettors, the Sovereign Pontiff appears to us to have found a very promising imitator in the ex isting Autocrat of Russia. Intent equally with his Holiness on extending the territory and influence of his crown, it has latterly been the policy of the crafty Muscovite to retain certain secret emissaries at every considerable station in Europe, whose principal duty seems to be to aggrandize the maritime and commercial importance of that power ; to invent lies in vindica tion of the breach of treaties ; to wheedle, bully, or circumvent the: whole corps of British and foreign di plomatists; te : palliate, by all sorts of artifices the ag gressions and enormities of Russian absolutism ; and . more especially to 'make a dead set at the weaknesses of poor Lord Palmerston, whose unsuspecting subser viency to the designs of the imperial despot is found to be the more useful and attainable in proportion as he possesses the means, and is bound in duty to watch, expose, and counteract them. On the frontiers, and in the capital, of almost every country of any impor tance, the wily Czar appears to have established a re gular cordon of political writers, monied loan-mongers, and commercial reporters, all constituting a busy in visible agency in support of his ambitious views ; and hence we find that, according as circurnstunces hap pen to require it, their interposition behind the scenes is sure to be at work. An apparently disinterested ar ticle in defence of the Cracow affair makes its appear ance at Frankfort ; an anonymous apologist for the speech at Warsaw springs up as "Vienna ; the aggres sions upon Turkey are justified by an emissary at Ber lin ; and more recently, a published official document, showing the advantages Russia is deriving from her newly created trade in the Euxine, finds as a matter of course, a translator and trumpeter in London. The original of the document just alluded to, entitled " A Report on the Commerce of the Black Sea, made to the Rus sian Government by Julius de Hagemeister, at the instance of Count Woronzow," was published at Odessa in 1835 ; and is now done into English by a Mr. T. F. Triebner. How far this document derives any weight from the discrimination and good sense of the translator, may be judged of from th e f ac t, that he actually add resses it toViscount Palmerston in a highly laudatory dedication ; and as, in common with the rest of the nation, the Noble Secretary for Fo reign Accidents must be surprised to receive such com plicents, it is but proper that all parties should bo dis tinctly aware of the grounds upon which a solitary in dividual has at last been found having sufficient intre pidity to profess himself an admirer of Lord Palmer ston. Keeping in mind, then, that the great object of the published Report is to show by certain re turns that the principal ports of the Black Sea (origi nally wrested from Turkey) have of late been singularly conducive to the advancement of Russian commerce, and, more especially, that the export trade from Odessa and Taganrog is rapidly rising into equality with the larg e and undiminished exports of Riga and St. Petersburgh, M. Triebner has made the notable discovery that the merit of conferring this boon upon Russia belongs al most exclusively to Lord Palmerston; Speaking of what he loosely, designates "idle sources of that pros perity which of late years has called into existence the commerce of the Black Sea," Lord Palmerston's co admirer says-- " I could no longer blind myself to the fact, that that part of His Majesty's Councils over which your Lordship has now for some time presided has mainly contributed to this most important end. " I dedicate, therefore, this translation to your Lordship, inasmuch as you are in a great measure the creator of a new line of our commercial policy by the pait this country has taken in the establishment of at least one of those treaties which have, in an indirect manner, opened this vast commerce to the world." So Lord Palmerston receives, for once, the lauda tions of a person whom we must in charity presume to be at large ; and this for his Lordship's patriotic zeal in having so successfully promoted the commercial interests of Russia ! Whether such a tribute partake more of the sly or the sincere, it is, of course, impossi ble for us to say ; and still less can we determine how far the caprices of our diplomatic Cupid may or may not dispose him to accept the homage of such a worshipper. All we know about the matter is, that if the repute which belongs to the arch deity for his wooings and woundings be not atrociously slandered in this affair of the Black Sea, then the documentary evi dence illustrative of his questionable favours bestowed upon Russia at the expense of his British allegiance is a record of shame that could not be dedicated to any person with so much propriety as to himself. The whole book of De Hagemeister is, as we have said, a proof of that immense advance of Russian commercial prosperity, the credit of which is duly awarded to Lord Palmerston. We learn from it, however, that his Lordship's prodigal liberality in favour of the Ex chequer and markets of Nicholas is by no means re ciprocated, either by the reporter or by his principals. A return of kind offices on behalf of British com merce is what they do not seem to dream of. Beyond the limits of Russian revenue and Russian advantage, their cautious and calculatina, souls do not a pp ear t o range : nor, as a con t ras t t o the c disinterested, compre hensive, and generous policy of our foreign treatyfier, can we refrain from closing our remarks with the following characteristic quotation from De Hagemeister, in reference to the transit trade with Teflis by way of Odessa : " The difficulties of conveyance which now enhance the price of goods once removed by foreign capital, the mer chants of Russia will no longer be obliged to make advances to purchasers, or to sell to them a long credit ; for these will either have enriched themselves, or will readily find credit elsewhere. Russian commodities that are now sold at Teflis at 50 to 80 per cent. dearer than at Nishnei Nov. gorod will admit of being sold at an advance of 10 to 15 per cent. upon the first cost. Vessels which hitherto have made the route of Africa to obtain the produce of India will enter the Black Sea, the passage . to which has been opened by Russia. Who can then calculate the advantages which this increas2d prosperity will present to our provinces of the south ?"—De Hagenteister's Report to the Russian Government, p. 214. There is here a direct and business-like eye to num ber one, which Lord Palmerston, on behalf of his own country, would do well to turn his attention to. But, alas ! we forget that Cupid is blind.—Times. ST;VONI) EDITION SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS . EVENING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before 4 o'clock. Mr. Crater presented papers from the Treasury. Mr. OSWALD brought up the report in Langford's Estate Bill, which was read a third time and passed. NEW WRIT. On the motion of the EARL of LINCOLN, a new writ was issued for Warwick in the room of Sir Charles Grcville,'who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Lord DUDLEY STUART presented a petition from a person named Holmes, of Arundel, complaining of the manner in which the trustees of the Arundel estate had acted to him. It appeared that the petitioner, who had been Mayor of Arundel, and one of the trustees of the Saving Bank had at the instance of all parties laid out part of the surplus money of the estates in building a bridge, which he had been ordered to repay. Mr. LENNARD presented a petition from the Dis senters of Maldon, praying to be relieved from Church rates. The LORD ADVOCATE presented a petition from Leith, complaining of the Game Laws. Mr. HUME presented a petition from a person of the name of Bull, praying that some enactment might be made by which property would be recovered by legal process at less expense. Also a petition from a person named Tennent for an alteration in the formation of Railway Committees. On the motion of Mr. HARVEY the Lords, amend ments to the South London Cemetery Bill were agreed to, after a low observations from Mr. With, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Harvey. GRAND JURIES (IRELAND) BILL. Lord MORPETH said t 1 at, in order to avoid any diffi culty with respect to the Lords' amendments to the Grand Juries (Ireland) Bill, he should move that the Bill, as it had been sent down from the Lords, be laid aside, and that leave be given to bring in a new Bill, omitting those clauses which the Lords had either struck out or altered. The Noble Lord then brought in. a Bill to consolidate and amend the laws relating to Grand Juries in Ireland, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. EQUITY EXCHEQUER BILL. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the first read ing of this Bill. Mr. HUME enquired why this Bill had not been brought in earlier ? Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL—It has come from the Lords.—(A laugh.) Mr. HUME—Yes; but when we send Bills up to the Lords at this time of the year, they say it is too late in the session. --(Hear, hear.) However, I don't object to the Bill. MALT DUTIES' BILL. The CHANCELLOR Of theEXCHEQUER brought in a Bill to alter and amend the laws relating to the duty and excise on Malt. COUNTY RATE BILL. Mr. HUME stated that this Bill stood for a second reading to-night, but he did not mean to press it, and he should therefore move that the Bill be read a second time this day three months. Mr. TOOKE was happy to hear this, for he considered the remedy worse than the disease.—(Laughter.) Mr. HUME could only say he considered that observa tion of his Hon. Friend ungenerous and unkind.—(Hear, hear.) If his Hon. Friend had offered any reason against it, he should have been very glad to have heard it, but it was in order to avoid discussion that he had taken the liberty of making the motion he had done. He considered that an opinion given in the way the Hon. Member for Truro had expressed himself was good for nothing.—( Laughter.) EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL. Mr. BERNAL brought up the Report of the Com mittee o❑ the Exchequer Bills Bill. POOR LAW LOANS BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR - of the EX CHEQUER the Poor Law Loans Bill was read a third time, and passed. COPYRIGHT BILL. Mr. BERNAL brought up the Report of the Com mittee on this Bill. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. BERNAL brought up the Report on the Public Works (Ireland) Bill. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER the House went into Committee on the Public Works (Ireland) Bill. The Bill went through a Committee and was reported. FACTORIES. Lord ASHLEY begged to ask the Noble Lord (John Russell) whether his Majesty's Government had come to any determination relative to the appointment of additional inspectors of Factories, or whether it was intended to give additional power to those already appointed ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as we understood, replied in the negative. Mr. ROBINSON complained of the harsh treatment to which children were subjected in these Factories. He hoped the returns of the inspectors would be laid on the table, as they would satisfy the House of the necessity of some change being made in the present system. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. BOROUGH JUSTICES BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second reading of the Borough Justices Bill. The Earl of LINCOLN said the march of legislation had been lately so rapid, that Hon. Members did not ac tually know what they Were doing. It would surprise the Learned Gentlemen, and other Members, When they were told that the Bills now proposed for a second reading had not been read a first time. Such, however, was the fact. --(Hear.) On Saturday some parchments the form of Bills were laid on the table, and the title of them read. As some Hon. Members on his side of the House wished to know something of them and their contents, they took up one, and on untying it, were surprised to find it all a blank. The other two were the same. Surely, under such circumstances, it would be impossible for them to suspend the Standing Orders, in order to pass the Bills that evening. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the entry upon the Journals was that the Bills were ordered for a second reading, which of course implied that they had been read a first time—the Journals, however, were conclusive. They were Bills on which no discussion could arise—all the clauses having been agreed to in both Houses. The SPEAKER said it was an irregularity, but he be lieved it was caused by the Bills being then in the hands of the printer. The Earl of LINCOLN said Hon. Members were pre vented from knowing what the Bills were on Saturday, and were only delivered to them that morning ; so that it was impossible any gentleman could know what they were about. Mr. C. ROSS had made inquiries of many Parliamentary agents, and none of them had ever known an instance of the kind. Mr. CHARLTON deprecated the course that had been adopted. In his opinion, Hon. Members ought to have had an opportunity of seeing what the measures were. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said there was not one word inserted in the Bill that had not been assented to by the House, and not a circumstance had occurred that would place any Hon. Member in a different predicament to that in which he was at present placed. Mr. BERNAL thought the Noble Lord had acted most properly in mentioning the subject ; it was an acci dent, but such a one as he thought the House ought to look over. The Bill was decidedly calculated to benefit everybody. Colonel SIBTHORP thought what had taken place a mode of legislation unworthy of any government ; it was, in point of fact, nothing more than endeavouring to smuggle a Bill through a first reading. Mr. BARING thought it was an accident which the House ought to look over. Mr. C. Ross and Sir F. TRENCH deprecated the course that had been pursued. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that, when he sat on the other side of the House, he recollected Bills being brought in, and not printed at all. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. BOROUGH BOUNDARIES BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. WARBURTON wished to know whether the pro visions of the Bill were included in the Bill they had already agreed to. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied in the affir mative. Mr. CHARLTON had heard nothing to justify the in troduction of this Bill at this late period of the Session. This Bill repealed a great part of the 2d and 3d of Wm. IV., c. 64, which regulated the boundaries of boroughs, and he wished to know what necessity there was to justify such a proceeding ? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL promised to answer the question of the Hon. Member in Committee. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. PRISONERS' COUNSEL BILL. A Message from the Lords was here announced request !rig the House to agree to a Conference on the subject matter of the amendments made in this Bill. The Conference was agreed to, and the following Mem bers were appointed to manage it on the part of the Com mons—Mr. Ewart, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Warburton, Mr. V. Smith, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Stanley, Mr. Sandford, Load D. Stewart, and others. The managers having returned, they informed the House they had delivered their reasons to the Lords for disagree in to their amemendments. Capt. 130 LDERO said, that having acquainted the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs that he intended to submit a question to him, he wished to ask that Noble Lord if his Majesty's Government uad received official in telligence, announcing that the National Guard at Madrid had been disembodied, and that the municipalities had re fused to take and receive the arms of the National Guard ? If such was the fact, would the Noble Lord state what passing events had occurred to cause such an important step to be taken ? Lord PALMERSTON said the Government had re ceived information that an attempt had been made at Ma drid to proclaim the Constitution of 1812, by a portion of the National Guard ; that that attempt had been success fully resisted by the proper authorities there, and that in consequence of this an order had been issued for remo delling the National Guard, and for rendering it more con formable to the feelings of the people. Sir GEO. SINCL AIR wished to know whether the Auxiliaries now in Spain were to be employed against the Constitutionalists ? Lord PALMERSTON—The Auxiliaries in Spain are under the orders of the Spani§h Government.—(Hear.) Lord STORMONT inquired whether the marines were to be employed against those who proclaimed the Constitu tion at Saragossa. Lord PALMERSTON said it was not likely the squa j dron would make any opposition at Saragossa.—(Laughter.) Lord STORMONT had only enquired as to the Ma rines—the Marines who were acting on shore, and had nothing to do with the vessels. Lor PALMERSTON was sure the Noble Lord was quite mistaken in supposing the British Marines had nothing to do with the British squadron ; they were secretly at tached to the British squadron, and were under the exclu sive orders of Lord John Hay.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. G. PRICE wished Most distinctly to be informed whether in the event of the troops in the pay, and being victualled by this country, meeting with some of the Con stitutionalists, would they remain neutral, or would they fire upon that party opposed to the Queen ? Lord PALMERSTON said, most decidedly our troops in such a case would remain neutral. They were acting under a treaty which had reference only to the civil war then raging, and had no reference to such a state of things as now existed. Sir JOHN ELLEY said a few words as to the diffi culties of General Evans, but was called to order by The SPEAKER, who said there was no question before the Chair. TITHE COMPOSITION (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER this Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of Lord MORPETH, the report of the Committee on the Kingston Harbour Bill was brought up. On the motion of Mr. F. MAULE, the Lists of Voters Bill was read a second time. The same Hon. MEMBER moved the third reading of he Pensions Duties Bill. Mr. WARBURTON rose to move the striking out of the Clause by which the pension granted to the Duke of Marlborough was exempted from the payment of the pen sion duty. He complained that the Members of the Government had supported this clause. Mr. ROBINSON supported the motion of the Hon. Member for Bridport. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was hard that they should be taunted on one occasion with making it a Government question, and on another occasion with not making it a Gevernment question. Several of the Members of the Government had at a former period voted and spoken against it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LABOUCHERE defended the course he had pur sued, on the ground of the case being doubtful. Mr. HUME rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat at five o'clock. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented a petition from the Dean and Chapter of Winchester against the Fourth Report of the Ecclesiastical Commission. SLAVE COMPENSATION. The Slave Owners' Compensation Bill went through a Committee, and was reported. The Church Temporalities (Ireland) Bill was reported. The Militia Pay Bill was read a second time. The Medical Witnesses Bill was read a third time and passed. Several other Bills on their Lordships' table were ad vanced a stage. Mr. D. W. HARVEY and others from the Commons brought up the South Metropolitan Cemetary Bill, with the Lords' amendments agreed to. IRISH CORPORATIONS. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from the Corporation of Dublin against the Bill for Restraining the Alienation of Corporate Property in Ireland, which would prevent them paying a judgment debt of 74,0001. due by that corporation. A Message was sent to the Commons requesting a Con ference on the Prisoners' Counsel Bill. SCOTCH UNIVERSITIES. The Duke of WELLINGTON begged to know whe ther the Noble Viscount (Melbourne) had any objection to lay upon the table the report of the Commissioners on which the Scotch Universities Bill was founded. Lord MELBOURNE had no objection to do so. PRISONERS' COUNSEL BILL—CONFERENCE WITH THE COMMONS. The following peers were appointed as managers on the part of their lordships of the conference with the Commons on the Prisoners' Council Bill—the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Roslyn, Lord 'Brownlow,Lord Bradbroke, the Bishop of Rochester, Lords Kenyon and Strafford. The Manager of the conference having retired, returned in a few minutes, and Lord Shaftesbury read the reasons o the Commons for disagreeing with their Lordships' amend ments. On the motion of LORD LYNDHURST the rea sons of the Commons were ordered to be taken into consi deration to-morrow. CORPORATE PROPERTY (IRELAND.) The Corporate Property (Ireland) Bill was read a se cond time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Mr. BERNAL and others from the Commons brought up the Municipal Officers Election Bill and the Poor Law Loan Bill, which was severally read a first time. REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS. On the motion of Lord MELBOURNE, the Commons' Amendment to the Lords' Amendments to the Registra tion of Births' Bill were taken into consideration. The Noble Lord said he would shortly state to their Lordships the nature of the amendments made by the Commons. The third amendment provided for marriages of Jews generally, whereas the clause as it originally stood provided only for the marriage of two persons in a Jewish synagogue. Lord ELLENBOROUGH did not see any objection ex cept to the first amendment, which he was afraid would en able the Register-General to exceed his powers. He be lieved there were no amendments to the Marriage Bill. Lord MELBOURNE did not think there was any dan ger of the Register-General exceeding his powers. Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from the li censed victuallers of the metropolis, praying that some plan might be adpted for the regulation of inns and hotels. IRISH CHURCH TEMPORALITIES BILL. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Irish Church Temporalities Bill was received, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. STANNARIES BILL. On the motion of the Earl of FALMOUTH, the House went into a Committee on the Stannaries Bill. Lord LANGDALE wished to say a few words on the Bill which had -been brought forward, in consequence of the great inconvenience that had taken place by this jurisdiction. He felt no objection whatever to the establishment of effectual Local Courts ; nay, so far from having any objection, it was his opinion with proper safeguards that they would be very valuable ; but he did not think the Bill provided those necessary safeguards. The Judge was to be appointed by the Duke of Cornwall, if there was such a person, and he was the person to try cases between the Duchy of Cornwall and other parties. So that the appointment and removal of this Judge, which could be done by the counsel of the Duchy, was in the nomination of one of the parties concerned. The man ner in which the salary of the Judge was to be paid was also highly objectionable, and was one which he was quite con vinced would not meet the approval of their Lordships. He also objected to the system upon which appeals were to be conducted, because the Lord Warden could not be ju dicially informed upon many of the matters that came be fore him. He found there was nothinr , in the Bill of an ultimate appeal to that House, to which the people of England were accustomed to look up. It would be, there fore, most desirable that there should be appeals either to that House, or to the Judicial Committee of his Majesty's Privy Council. These were objections which should not be lightly regarded ; but if it was their Lordships' pleasure to proceed with the Bill, he should feel it his duty to suggest such amendments as seemed to him necessary. After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR, and from Lord WYNFORD in opposition to the Bill, Lord FALMOUTH supported the Bill, which he ob served had received the sanction of his Majesty's Law Officers. Lord LYNDHURST explained. (LEFT SITTING. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH', A uo. 13. —Sir Charles Paget returned to Plymouth with his squadron on Monday, and, after completing four months' provisions, sailed again on Thursday on a month's cruise 200 miles to the westward of Scilly, and then to repair to Spithead. The Minden, 74, was left behind, as about 50 of her crew were slightly affected with sickness; the Malabar, 74, sailed with the squadron ; and the Russell, 74, will be ready to join in a few days. It is difficult to ascertain the truth as to which was the best ship in the last cruise ; but without doubt the Vanguard was much improved in sailing, from having discharged forty tons of ballast, and would be still better in her sailing qualities if she were not so deep in the water ; how she would behave in a gale of wind, with a hold half full, is yet to be proved; at present the Vanguard is an admirable man of war in smooth water. The Madagascar, 46, Captain Sir John S. Peyton, K. C. H. will go out of Harbour on Monday, and sail for Plymouth about Wednesday, whence she will proceed with the Galatea, fitted for a coal depot, direct to Jamaica. Sir John Peyton, on reaching the station, will hoist a broad pendant, succeeding Commodore Pell. The Hyacinth, 18, was at Calcutta on the 2d March.

Paget, consisting of the following ships, viz. Bellerophon, Vanguard, Cornwallis, Minden, Pem broke, Hercules, Partridge, and Scylla arrived on Monday. Yesterday, went out of harbour into the Sound, his Majesty's ship Imogene, 26, Captain Bruce. The Russell, 74, Captain Sir W. H. Dillon, K. C. H., has been supplied with new fore and main masts, and will shortly be ready to go out of har bour.—Hampshire Telegraph. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) The Sheldrake packet, Lieut. Passingham, having been new coppered, was undocked on Tuesday. The Fly, 18, Capt. Russell Eliott, was taken in the same day, to have her copper cleaned, and was undocked the next day ; the Savage, 10, was also taken into dock to have her copper repaired. The Russell, 74, Captain Sir W. H. Dillon, Knt. K. C. H., has taker► in a new fore and mainmast, and will be soon ready to go out of harbour. Remaining in Hamoaze.—Royal Adelaide, San Josef, Rus sell, Fly, Comus, Scorpion, Magnet, Hope, Sheldrake, Dili gence, navy transport, and Falmouth lighter. In the Sound.—Minden, Imogene, Brazilian corvette. The Coultas, 18, Commander Hamilton, from the West In dies, afforded a beautiful sight on coming into harbour on Wednesday se'nnight. She sailed under her topsails and courses, the top-gallant and royal yards being manned, and the sailors dressed all in white, with straw hats and duck shoes. The Hoe and Mountwise were crowded with spectators, amongst whom there were many old officers, who expressed their admiration at the general appearance of the Comus, and the excellent discipline of her ship's company. The Comus had been anchored five days in the Sound, waiting for orders, during which time she was visited daily by numerous parties of ladies and gentlemen, from whom the Captain re ceived the most flattering compliments, on the superior ar rangement of all on board. On the Comus passing Mount Wise, Lord Amelius Beauclerk and other Naval Officers re marked, " What a beautiful specimen of a man-of-war." On Thursday, his Lordship, as Port-Admiral, accompanied by his nephews, inspected the Comus, when the yards were manned, and his Lordships reception on board was conducted in a manner which exhibited the perfect discipline of the crew. After the men had gone through the gun exercise, and a number of manoeuvres on the yards and masts, his Lordship mustered the crew, and expressed his entire ap probation in the following words :—" Captain Hamilton, I have not for many a day seen a ship more efficient, or in higher order and discipline than your's—a circumstance which reflects the greatest credit on you and the officers, who, as well as the crew, appear to have their duty and business at their finger's end, and I shall take care (as it is my duty) to repre sent the high state of discipline to my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and I have no doubt that every person will receive from the Admiralty that encouragement which is so highly merited, and which will ever be the greatest advan tage to our service and country." The Comus has been nearly four years in commission on the West India station ; during this she lay at Jamaica two sickly seasons, but not a man was lost from the effects of that unhealthy climate. No sickness whatever has prevailed on board, and the crew have all a most healthy appearance—in fact, they look the picture of real happiness. This must be highly creditable to her Commander, and it is to be hoped he will receive the due re ward from the proper quarter, more especially when the fact is known that he has had no Lieutenant since February, and the duties of the ship have devolved on him, an Acting Mas ter, and one Mate, with no more officers to assist in preserving discipline. The Nimrod sloop arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 12th of June, from Carthagena ; she found the Forte, Com modore Pell, Racer, Wasp, Magnificent, and Dee steamer, all the ships on the station, and the island altogether in good health. The Imogene went out of Harbour into the Sound on Wed nesday, was paid wages in advance yesterday, and will imme diately proceed for South America. ----- A Court-martial was held in this Garrison on Monday last, for the trial of a private of the Royal Artillery, for repeated absence without leave, and other misconduct, of which he was found guilty, and sent ence d to s i x mont h s i mpi i sonmc nt, with hard laour, in Exeter Gaol. Mr. R. M. Inskip passed his examination for a schoolmaster on Monday last, at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, on a special of der from the Admiralty to be examined. THE MARKETS.

The statue of Alexander, lately placed in the Tuileries, attracted such a crowd of beholders, that a guard was obliged to be stationed over it. It is by M. Nanteuil, and rests on the pedestal where the Prometheus formerly stood. The hero has on a Macedonian helmet—is armed with a dagger and bu c kler —a wounded on the right side, and has fallen on his knees in a defensive attitude. NEW YORK, JULY 9.—Among the passengers who sailed yesterday in the packet-ship England were Lord Altamont and his two brothers, all lads of sixteen years and under, sons of the Marquis of Sligo, Governor of Jamaica. These youths arrived in this city about three months since, attended by their private tutor, for the purpose of travelling among us a few weeks, previous to their return to Europe to this city, have since performed the grand tour to They . first made a trip to Washington, and, returning thence back down the St. Lawrence to Montreal and Quebec, through Lake Champlain to Saratoga, thence to Lebano n and Boston, and back again to New York. They are ve r y fine . thtelligent lads, and have travelled in the most unas suming and unostentatious manner ; and have been every where delighted with the country. When the young Lords —for they are all so by courtesy, their father being a Marquis —arrived in this city, with letters to an English gentle man long a resident at New York, they sought advice as to the direction they should take, their mode of travel ling, &c., all which was given in due form. "And now, my Lord Altamont," added the gentleman, "there is no necessity Niagara, for your being called,' My Lord' everywhere on your journeyt You can get along just as well without it—just as well tf you eall yourselves by your own family name of Mr. Brown. If you do not exact any thing extraordinary you will every where be treated kindly, and have all you want. Only pa/ attention to two or three things, and you will get th ro ugh the country remarkably well." " Well, Sir, what are these two or three things," inquired their Lordships ? " Why, of Lord," replied the gentleman, " in the first place, in the gene ral rush which you will see to the public ordinaries do lot strive for the head of the tables, but quietly take the seats nea r the door. Whenever you address the landlord of a country tavern, address him as General.' Every elderly gentleman with whom you hold a conversation should be addressed al Judge,' or Squire ;' and be very careful in addressing ever/ coachman as ' Colonel.' Attend to these things, my Loq• and you may depend upon it you will get along smoothlY enough." The hint was adopted, at least in part. The young Noblemen usually travelled under the plain cognome n of Messrs. Browns, and have by their own unassuming deport ment been every where treated with the utmost attention, an have returned delighted with a visit, which th ey say s h a ll ee'' , be the last, to the United States. —New York Paper.
