to lay hold of the culprit, in his own person ; he hints out a vicarious sacrifice, and wreaks his ven geance on Cabrera's helpless and inoffensive mother ! ! If we could indulge any hope of redemption for Spain, it would be founded on the evidence which hrs reached us of the thrill of disgust and horror produced at Madrid by this execrable assassination. The last accounts state that General Nogueias had issued the order under which this unhappy victim perished, after obtaining the sanction of Mina, as Captain-General of the province. If this be so, it mainly imports the honour of the Queen's Government, and the eternal cause of humanity, that the principal murderer, as well as the inferior General, should be disgraced and signally . punished. It is dreadful to contempla te our King of England as the ally of a Governm ent under which such iniquities can be practised. It is most painful to see our brave countrymen associated, though ever so indirectly, with cruelties so base and monstrous.-- Times. With the laudable design of furthering the cause of religion by rendering the services of the clergy more generally useful and available, we wonder that the at tention of the Church Commissioners has not been turned to a class of that body who, most of them, with ample stipends from the societies to which they belong, lead a life, if not of general, at l east of professional, in dolence. We allude to such of the clerical Fellows of Colleges as have no' academical or professional duties to perform ; and whose services might, we should think, be very fairly and advantageously brought in aid of parishes where the endowments are now too small to admit of resident ministers, or of those where the population is too large to be adequately provided for by the Rectors or Vicars out of their present revenues. There are in the two Universities of Oxford and Cam bridge 925 fellowships ; including the students of Christchurch, of whieh 543 are held by persons in holy orders. Of these latter it is not unreasonable to assume that one-half, or say 250, have at present no offi cial or professional occupation, but are whileing away their lives, waiting for college livings, which, it is well known, too often devolve upon them at a period of life when, for want of previous professional employment, their utility is nearly neutralised. Now, where would be the harm if the whole, or at least a large proportion of these persons were, with their incomes, called into action in some of the numerous cases to which we have allUded ? Whether voluntarily or by compulsion, is a point which we should be loath to suggest. At present we only throw out the idea as one not unworthy of consideration at this particular time, when the subject excites such general interest and attention, and when the Established Church is so eminently entitled to the industry and the aid of all who have embarked in her ministry. If this suggestion can be acted upon, in which we see little practical difficulty, we feel con vinced that the advantage resulting from it would be twofold—first, in the immediate benefit of the parishes to which their temporary assistance might be called ; and, secondly, as we have already suggested, in their own greater fitness for the care of the benefices to which they may be ultimately appointed.—Morning Herald. We have been curious to see whether the Ministe rial prints would seek to whitewash the Irish Educa tion Commissioners, by palliating, or by denying, the charges of the Bishop of Exeter. They have done neither. They have either prosed about education generally, like Lord Melbourne, or eulogised Papists, and ridiculed Protestants, like Lord Plunkett ; or been struck dumb, like the Duke of Leinster ; or, hearing, refused to hear, like Lord Lansdowne. When the Bishop sat down we expected that the two latter would both start up, each anxious to be foremost in second ing the motion. The Duke, as head commissioner, is charged with a grave offence. His schools are said to be hotbeds of Popery, and not only made use of to cul tivate error, but to eradicate truth. Not only have nunneries and monasteries been made school houses, but schoolhouses have been turned into chapels, and Protestants converted into massmongers. It is not enough that Ministers themselves should bow the knee to Baal ; but must the young, the inno cent, the godly, and faithful children of our Church be made parties to what she has termed idolatry ? Is it. not enough that the treasons, the robberies, the murders which constitute Mr. O'Connell's peaceful agitation," should be palliated by full-grown se nators in Parliament ; but in lieu of the old text, ‘. Fear God, and honour the King," must in fant hands be guided to pen such words - as, " God be with the poor fellows hanged at Maryborough ?" Let Lord Lansdowne, let the Duke of Leinster, look to this. The country expects from them a denial of the truth of these statements, or a dis claimer of participation in the improprieties they disclose. Inquiry is indeed desirable to us : but we assure their Lordships it is not less desirable to them. We waive for the present all reference to the other charges, grave and discreditable though they be ; but unless these two be met in a candid manner, and some pledge be given of future reform, we must hold those Noble Lords and their underlings guilty. Let their friends the priests teach them to make a clear confes sion of ignorance and neglect, or we cannot absolve them from the graver imputation of winking at Po pish infractions of their own system. If they will not, let it be made better. We must find means to prevent them from rendering it ten times worse. — Morning Post. We refer with much satisfaction to a Letter, which will be found in another column, from Mr. Wakley, upon the subject of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers. The Honourable Member, as we are glad to perceive, though determined in his opposition to any stamp upon newspapers, is, nevertheless, willing that the existing newspapers should be compensated for any kisses to which they may be exposed by the irruption of an unstamped press upon the ground which, despite of the stamp, and many other difficulties, they have made their own, at much risk, and at the expense of enormous sums of money; but in order to secure this point lie must, if he mean to deal justly by the ex isting press, take care to include, in moving an amendment, a clause of compensation. His motion must run thus,—" that the Stamp Duty on Newspapers be abolished, and that compensation be granted to those now in existence for any loss or losses which may result therefrom ;" and if it do so run, and be carried, no newspaper or proprietor of newspapers can have any fair ground of complaint. If, on the contrary, the total abolition be carried without compen sation, every existing newspaper will have as fair and as just a right to complain as the West India pro prietors of slaves would have had, had the House of Commons voted an abolition of slavery, without at the same time voting an indemnification to the pro prietors of slaves. We were advocates for compensa tion to the West India planters, and deemed the aboli tion of slavery cheaply purchased at the expense of twenty millions !--.-we are also advocates for the total abolition of the Stamp Duty, but upon the same terms. Some portion of the duty must be kept up, or com pensation granted to those who, at much expense, and in despite of many difficulties, have fought the battle of the people—grant the compensation, and we arc ready to take the field with our rivals, without stamp or any other imposition which enables us and all other capitalists to secure to themselves a monopoly at the expense of their poorer brethren.—Morn. - Advertiser. A'scene singularly curious and characteristic took place last night in the House of Commons, which, in exciting the indignation of every liberal mind, gives Lord Stanley additional claims on the odium and con tempt of the community. The most practised member of the swell mob fraternity never made a more dexte rous attempt to pick a pocket than his Lordship last night made " to catch an Act of Parliament ;" but, thanks to the persevering opposition of Messrs. Hume, Warburton, and Roebuck, the perpetration of the Act has been postponed, and we may say say defeated, for it is impossible to believe that the House of Commons, unless when taken by surprise or fraud, as was the case last night, will ever disgrace itself by giving its sanction to a measure diametrically opposed to the feelings of the country, the spirit of the times, and tire principle of a Bill already approved by that branch of the Legislature itself. We allude to the " Macclesfield Small Debts' Bill," which his Lordship endeavoured to smuggle through a House which appeared to have been especially got up" for the occasion. This Bill proposes to continue the system of imprisonment for debt, the abolition of which has been resolved upon both by the Govern ment and the House of Commons. We shall not now comment on the oppressive, impolitic, and atrocious operation of arrest for debt ; but merely explain in a few words the fraudulent trick by which it was attempted to be perpetuated under the especial patronage of the House of Derby. Few Members of the House were aware of the obnoxious clause in this Bill, and the second reading was allowed to pass without op position. It wa's never printed, according to the usual practice ; nor had any notice of the third reading been entered on the list : the House, therefore, with the exception of those whom the noble mover might have specially favoured with his confidence, were unacquainted with his inten tion, and totally unprepared for his motion. By the absence of many of the Irish and liberal Members at the St. Patrick dinner, his Lordship's supporters had a majority, and his paltry ambition was gratified by a temporary triumph. The third reading was car ried by a majority of 49, and the objectionable clause by a majority of 23. The Tories mustered in great force, and nothing remained to the Liberals on the motion " that the Bill do now pass," but to move an adjournment of the debate, which, after several divi sions and two'hours' debate with closed doors, was ul timately carried ; and thus an opportunity is reserved to the House of rejecting the Bill in toto, which we have no doubt will be the case ; and we trust, at the same time, it will mark with some strong expression of indignation the disgraceful attempt of the factious clique to cheat it of the fair operation of its legislative privilege. This act gives the finishing stroke to Lord Stanley's political character. Before he was shunned, not alone by those with whom he formerly acted, but even by the Tories themselves, as was evinced by their rejection of his health at the Conservative Din ner at Marylebone. Now his degradation is com plete, and he may be truly pronounced abandoned in every significati o n o f the term.—Morning Ad vertiser. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY. COMMITTEE OF PRIVILEGES.-BARONIES Or BRAYE AND VAUX. These Peerage claims underwent further discussion this morning, but no new feature presented itself. The circum stances of each case, and the exact condition of the parties, will be found detailed in our previous reports. The further hearing was adjourned to Tuesday next, when it is expected that both cases will be concluded. APPEALS.-HAMILTON V. WRIGHT. This was an appeal from an interlocutor of the Lord Ordinary of Scotland. The respondent did not appear. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, On behalf of the appellant, stated that the question had been already adjudicated on by the House. A heritable bond had been executed by the appellant to a person of the name of Wilson, by whom it was assigned to a Mr. Linning. The appellant subse quently executed a trust for the benefit of his creditors, and a person named Wright was appointed the trustee. It was expressly stipulated that the trust was net to de termine on the death of Wright, but that the credi tors were to have power to appoint another in that event. It was also covenanted that he was to bring no action, either real or personal, against Hamilton, but should be confined to his remedy under the deed. Wright died, and his heir portioner brought an action of mails and duties to get into possession of the estate, and obtained a sequestra tion, against which was an appeal, which came on to be heard in 1834, when judgment was given, reversing the judgment in the Court below, and deciding that the action of mails and duties could not be brought. An interlocutor of the Lord Ordinary was given, in which he declares that there was then no subsisting trust, notwithstanding the ex press stipulation to the contrary in the deed. He trusted that their Lordships would reverse these interlocutors and with costs, at least from the time that judgment was given. Lord Lyndhurst—They appear to have done nothing in the case. They only relied on their judgment. Their Lordships tool time to consider. VICE-CHANGER Y.-THURSDAY. MANSELL V. MANSELL. The title to certain old family estates called Pennyland and Pwlkwythian, in Carmarthenshire, was the subject of this suit. The details of the different settlements, com mencing in 1764, were of the most complicated description, and have fully occupied the Court for the last three days. The parties to the present suit and cross suit were Sir John • Mansell, Baronet, the grandson of Sir William and Lady Mansell, and their younger son, Colonel Mansell, the uncle of Sir John. Colonel Mansell attempted to deduce his title to the estates in question from a power of appointment which was exercised in his favour by Lady Mansell. On the other hand the title of Sir John Mansell ultimately depended upon the fact whether Lady Mansell had re cognised a deed of settlement of 1780, under which his title arose. Mr. Knight supported the plaintiff's case. Mr. Jacob appeared for the defendant. His Honour decreed the possession of the estates in question to be g iven to Sir John Mansell, and dismissed the cross bill by !olonel Mansell. BANKRUPTCY COURT, THURSDAY. CAMPBELL AND MACDONALD'S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditors under the fiat of bankruptcy awarded against Messrs. Campbell and Macdonald, the bankers and army agents, of Pall-mall, was held to-day for the proof of debts aad the declaration of dividends upon the joint and separate estates. Some further proofs were admitted against the joint estate. The total amount of proofs against the firm now is about 91,000/. The dividends already declared on the joint estate are is. 4d. in the pound. A further dividend of 2s. in the pound was announced to-day. A proof was tendered on behalf of Lord Beresford for 1,779/.lBs. 4d., being the balance claimed by his Lordship arising out of moneys placed with the bankrupt, amounting to about 100,0001., which were at the disposal of Lord Beresford, to award as prize money during the war in Por• tugal. The proof was admitted, subject to the filing of an affidavit and the necessary vouchers. The total amount of proofs, including the 1,779/. 18s. 4d. just referred to, against the separate estate of Mr. Mac donald is now 20,7361. 12s. 9d. The dividends already declared upon this estate amounted to 3s. in the pound. A further dividend was announced of 6d. in the pound. The future dividends upon the joint estate and the sepa_ rate estate of Mr. Macdonald is expected to be very small, ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRGUIT.—DEnnr, MARCH 16. CaiMiNAl. COURT.—John Spenlove„Tosep!l MI& well alias Blacker, and Joseph Street, were charged with having been found in a certain wood armed, for the purpose of de stroying game. The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty, and The Judge sentenced them severally to one year, six months, and four months' imprisonment. The Grand Jury ignored the bill, in the course of the morning, preferred against two persons of the name of Bowden, who were committed for murdering a person sus pected to be a poacher. HOME CIRVUIT-MAIDSTONE, MARCH 17. ChOW N COURT.— Willia »i Wilson, Charles Turner, George Pope, and Henry Thomas, labourers, were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of the Rev. John Humphrey Davies, at Oakhill, Tunbridge, on the night of the 15th of last November, and stealing property to the value of 5001., consisting of 240 sovereigns, a chronometer worth 90/., and other articles, his property. Sarah Thomas was also indicted for having received part of the property, well knowing at the time that it had been stolen. Mr. CLARKSON conducted the prosecution, and Mr. CHADWICK JONES defended the prisoners. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evidence, The Jury returned a verdict, finding the four male pri soners Guilty, and acquitting the female, Sarah Thomas. The Rev. Mr. Davies recommended them to mercy, on account of their not having used any violence towards him or his family. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, directed death to be recorded against the prisoners, and told them that should his Majesty be pleased to spare them, it would be on the condition only that Thomas, Wilson, and Turner, left the country for the remainder of their lives. With regard to Pope, as there was some difference in his case, he should take it into consideration. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 111 ANSION.HOUSE. Thomas Smith, a lad in the employ of Mr. Wilking, the printer, of Holywell-street, Strand, was yesterday charged by Carter, an officer of Marlborough -street, with having in his possession seventy-three quires (1,971) of an unstamped paper (the Weekly Times) dated for Sunday, March 20. The officer saw the prisoner drawing a truck in Fleet street on Wednesday evening, and asked him what the papers were ? He at first denied that they were unstamped, but afterwards admitted that they were, and said he was taking them from the printer's to Yate's, in Bride-lane. Alderman BIRCH said these men quite laughed at the law, and continued publishing these things by wholesale. THE SUN, LONDON, FRI Carter informed the Magistrate that he (the p risoner), I n ever had been in custody b:‘fore. Defendant was cautioned against a rep etit i on of the of fence and discharged. UNION- HAL Yesterday James Galloway, a shopkeeper in Bronte place, Walwortb, was charged with having in his possession a quantity of tea and tobacco, which had been unshipped without payment of duty, whereby he had incurred a pe nalty of one hundiei pounds, or treble the value of the goods seized upon. The defendant said that there was no intention of fraud on his part, that the articles were all purchased in the usual way by a man named Hawes, who was about to set up in business at Greenwich ; but that, owing to some disappoint ment in getting possession of his house, Hawes requested that the defendant would take care of the articles for him. The Solicitor of the Customs said that Hawes had trans mitted a petition to the Commissioners on the subject of the seizure, but that it was rejected. The Magistrates fined the defendant 201., and the tea and tobacco were condemned. CURIOUS HORSE CAUSE. At the York Assizes a few clays ago, the Court was occupied great part of the day with the case of " Brogden v. Alarriot." Mr. Alexander and Mr. Milner were counsel for the plaintiff—Mr. Creswell and Mr. Greenwood for the dependant. This was an action of a very peculiar nature, upon a contract for the sale of a horse. The plaintiff is Mr. John Brogden, an extensive dealer in horses at Man chester ; and the defendant, Mr. Marriot, is an architect and builder, living at Dewsbury, near Wakefield. The de fendant had a horse called Parlington, which was reputed to be an extraordinary good trotter, and the plaintiff was introduced to him as a person desirous to treat for the pur chase of it. The parties met at the house of Mr. Joseph Norcliffe, who is also a horse-dealer, living at Ossett, in the neighbourhood of Dewsbury. Mr. Marriot asked 1751. for the horse, and Mr. Brogden offered 1501. After some ineffectual attempts at a bargain, Mr. Marriot said he would sell the horse on the following terms :—That if it trotted eighteen miles in an hour, the plaintiff should give him 2001. for it ; and if it failed in doing this, he would sell it to him for one shilling. This proposal was accepted by Mr. Brog den; and as Mr. Marriot said he was a man of business, and would have a regular written contract drawn up by an at torney, Mr. Archer, a solicitor in the village, was sent for. That gentleman happening to pass the house at the time, was called in, and drew up the contract. The trial was to be made within a month. Mr. Joseph Norcliffe was to be the judge, and the trotting was to be performed in his pre sence. The time was fixed for the 16th of March, the con tract being made on the 27th of February, 1835. This day was subsequently altered to the 12th of March, when the match was trotted on the Doncaster and Retford road, being eighteen continuous miles, and the horse was from four to six minutes more than the stipulated time in per forming the distance. The plaintiff then claimed the horse ; but Mr. Marriott said he would first consult Mr. Archer, the gentleman who had drawn up the agreement, but which the counsel for the plaintiff said he forgot to do. Some subsequent negotiatio n s took place , in wich Mr. Brogden again offered 1501. for the horse, which the de fendant refused to accept. At length, finding all attempts at a compromise ineffectual, the plaintiff commenced his ac tion upon the contract, and claimed the delivery of the horse upon the payment of a shilling, which, in fact, had been paid punctually at the time the contract was drawn up. Mr. J. Norcliffe, in whose presence the trotting match was to be performed, named two persons to ride for him, the defendant acquiescing in the arrangement ; they were to accompany Parlington, each riding nine miles. Mr. Norcliffe was to be stationed at the eighteenth mile-stone, to see him come in. The horse . was ridden by Mr. Marriott's groom, and Mr. Marriott appointed Mr. Clive, a celebrated trainer, to ride for him in company with the horse. The match took place on the 13th March, but Parlington, on the day before, had drank a pail of water, which unfitted him for that exer tion. There was no charge of foul play, the horse broke out in a gallop only once, when the groom was ordered to turn it round. The plea on which the defendant justified his non-delivery of the horse was, that the match was not run according to the conditions of the contract, the horse not being trotted in the presence of Mr. Norcliffo, who ought to have had it in view durinc , the whole time. On this ground Mr. Creswell contended that the plaintiff ought to be nonsuited. Lord Denman was of opirion, that Mr. Marriott's having consented that the two persons named by Mr. Norcliffe should accompany the horse, and that he was to be at the last mile -stone, was a sufficient satisfaction of the contract, but he gave Mr. Cresswell leave to move for a nonsuit if the Court above should be of a different opinion. The horse trotted eleven miles of the distance at the requisite speed, but lost the four or five minutes in the remaining seven miles. ..... yv. Mr. Alexander proposed several times during the cause to give 1501. for the horse, which Mr. Cresswell said he would accept if his friend would withdraw a juror. Mr. Alexander said Mr. Brogden having offered to pay 1501. for the horse when no expenses had been incurred, it was not fair to make his client pay those which had been incurred since, as they were the result of the defendant's own obstinacy, and he should therefore decline the offer. Ultimately a verdict was taken for the plaintiff—Dama ges 180/., subject to the objection taken by Mr. Cresswell upon the variation from the contract. REGISTRY OF WILLS, &c.—A memorial has been put in circulation in this town calling attention to the intended measure for the consolidation of the Ecclesiastical Courts, the effect of which will be to transfer the business now done in provincial Courts, and, as it were, upon the spot, to one cen tral Court, sitting in London. One advantage obtained by this alteration would doubtless be unity of plan and facility for observation ; but this, we think, would be greatly overba lanced by the attendant disadvantages, in inconvenience, ex pense, delay, and a variety of other points, which ought not be risked without some very real and considerable benefit in vi ew. Liverpool Courier. NEW POOR LAw.—ln reference to the introduc tion of this measure the Brighton Guardian (with whom we need not say we do not concur on this question) expresses great apprehensions that a very long season of contention and ill-blood is dawning upon the parish, and that the introduc tion of the New Poor Law into Brighton will be the begin ing of strife and evil:—" When the Bill was first brought into Parliament, we reprobated its principle and protested against the continental system of centralization which takes from the several separate and distinct communities of which a Nation is composed the controul and management of their own do mestic affairs. The town also met and took the same view of the question, and petitions against the Bill from the inhabi tants in public assembled as well as from the parochial body constituted under the Act were presented to the Legislature. These petitions unfortunately failed in their intended effect, and the obnoxious Bill was passed into a law ; and we ob serve 4 at the time, that as the administration of the new sys tem must in a great measure devolve upon the people, not withstanding the controul of the Poor Law Commissioners, it behoved the people to counteract as far as possible the vices of the principle on which the new law was based, by their wis dom, moderation, and humanity in carrying its provisions into ef fect. With respect to the treatment of the poor in the work house, the Poor Law Commissioners say that the parish-fed-and lodged pauper ought not to be " better off" than the inde pendent labourer. As an axiom, we agree with the Com -missioners ; but we differ from them in this particular,—that while they seek further to depress the pauper, to make him sink below the miserable state of the independent labourer, we would raise the latter above the level of the pauper. To this, therefore, we hope the electors will pledge all candidates for the office of Guardian—that the diet and comforts of the Brighton workhouse shall be taken as the standard of what it is our duty as men to provide for that unfortunate portion of our fellow-creatures who stand in need of parochial relief."— [ln this benevolent hope we most fully participate. An ample and proper provision for the poor and needy ought to be always most religiously attended to by the Guardians of the poor.] A, specimen was caught this week, on the rocks near \Vhitchaven, of that rare and singular fish, the Great Forked-beard, or Forked flake, the Phycis Furcatus of Fleming and Cuvier, and Barbus Major of Ray. NEWS FROM THE HILLS.--I write this from the north-east corner of the base of Queensberry. During the greater part of the winter we have had alternate frosts and thaws, almost every twenty-four hours, and someti mes w i t hi n a mucht shorter space of time, which tends greatly to deterio rate the winter-keep on the hills. Tuesday last was the only day which had the appearance of spring since the season came in, and the spirits of both master and shepherd revived ma terially; but " their sorrow returned with the dawning of day," for again on Wednesday morning the hills were closely enveloped in their wintry shrouds, and the whole at mosphere still and dark with the thick-falling snow, and con tieued so until the morning of Thursday, when it again cleared up, and set in frost towards evening. Up to the time that I write (Friday afternoon) there is no prospect of any imme diate change, yet the day has been a good one ; but owing to the depth of the snow and the intense frost of the preceding evening the sheep are getting very little food. It is freezing keenly just now, and should it continue for any length of time, the consequences will be severely felt, particularly in high districts.—Dumfries Courier. SCOTCH THRIFT AND IRISH IMPROVIDENCE.— A striking example (says a Scotch paper) of the improvi dence of the inhabitants of the south-western districts of Ireland has been recently related. During the last month, Galway Bay has been visited by a most plentiful shoal of herrings, which were caught in such numbers as would, with proper precautions, have enriched for a year thote employed in their capture. The fishermen, however, although it was the usual season, were unprovided with salt, and h ave h a d to p ur chase what they used at such prices as must have swallowed e i l r o s p t r . o fi ts , Many and o f a t gr h e e ai institutions s q t i u t a u n ti t o i quantity_ o o f f the Ireland,fish h n as o doubt, stand in need o f reform, but without some chan g e in the 1 o ther alterations will fail of compl e t e habits of the people, al b u e p e n n e a a l r t l o y ff a e l t l b t e h r success. ,yiARCH 18, 1836. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, MARC!! 17. The LORD CHANCELLOR took the Woolsack at the usual hour. Mr. BERNAL, and others from the Commons, brought up the Ist, 2nd, and 3d Report of the Select Committee, ap pointed last Session to enquire into the nature and ten dency of Orange Lodges, with a copy of the evidence so taken by the Committee. The lion. Gentleman also brought up the Pensions Duties Bill, and the Spanish Slavery Abolition Bill. BUILDING WORKHOUSES. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from Manchester and Salford, complaining of the additional duty on Spirit Licenses ; also one from the Guardians of the Poor of a parish, the name of which we did int hear, praying for an ex tension of the time for paying advances made for building Work houses. Lord ELLENBORO UG II had heard it reported that the Government intended to bring in a measure for extending the time in such cases. He would suggest that it ought to be done without delay, as many of the Guardians refused at pre sent to undertake the expense of building proper Workhouses. Lord MELBOURNE said the matter had not been finally decided upon. Whenever it was he would state it to their Lordships. Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition from the mer chants and other inhabitants of Truro, in favour of Mr. Buc kingham's claims. The Noble Lord then presented a Bill for amending the law relating to the transfer of real property ; and one for amending the laws relating to executors and ad ministrators. He, with their Lordships' permission, would have the Bills read a first time, and would state the details of the Bills when moving the second reading. Lord LANGDALE presented a Bill for improving the law respecting wills. He would take the same course as the Noble and Learned Lord, and state the nature of the Bill on moving the second reading. The Bills were then severally read a first time. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS' BILL. The Earl of FALMOUTH presented petitions from Bod min, Penzance, East Lowe, Lostwithiel, and several other places in Cornwall, against the Probate clause in the Eccle siastical Courts' Bill, and took that opportunity of objecting to the Bill being made applicable to Cornwall. MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL (IRELAND.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from the City of Limerick in favour of the Municipal Reform Bill for Ireland, and praying that 1,0001. might be inserted in the Bill as the amount of the qualification. PROTESTANT DISSENTERS. The NOBLE M6RQUIS also presented a petition from the Ministers and members of the congregation of the Independent Denomination of Southampton, praying for the relief of the grievances under which they laboured. CHURCH OF IRELAND. The NOBLE MARQUIS then presented a petition from the City of Cork, praying for a Reform in the Church of Ireland, SPAIN. The Earl of ABERDEEN gave notice that he should to morrow call the attention of the Noble Viscount at the head of his Majesty's Government to the state of the war in Spain, when he should be prepared to submit a motion to the House on the subject. NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid on the table the Report of the Committee appointed to consider the best plan upon which to rebuild the two Houses of Parliament, and moved that an humble address be presented to his Majesty, praying that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to order further enquiry to be made respecting the plan marked 64, re commended by the Commissioners in their Report, and the best mode of carrying the same into execution. RAILWAYS. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that he should to-morrow move that a communication be made to the House of Commons, requesting a copy of the report made by that House respecting the precautions necessary to be taken with regard to the introduction of Bills respecting railroads. The Marquis of BUTE presented a petition from Merthyr Tydvil against the Probate Clause in the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill.—Te House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 17. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. Mr. O'CONNEI.L appeared shortly afterwards in one of the side galleries with a shamrock of enormous demensions in his hat. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. WALLACE drew the attention of the House to the fact of all public business having been brought to a stand yes terday, for want of 40 Members being in the House when it was counted ; while there were plenty of Nlembers in the Com. mittee-room, and elsewhere within the walls, who would gladly have attended to make up the deficiency had they known of the circumstance. He suggested that the bell should be rung on such occasions as upon divisions. The SPEAKER said he had, in counting the House, only performed the duty imposed on him by the Standing Orders. GRAVESEND PIER BILL. , Mr. TOOKE presented a petition from certain steam-packet proprietors in favour of the Gravesend Pier Bill. MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY. Sir R.

STRICKLAND presented petitions from Derby and nine other places in favour of the North Midland Railway Bill. LONDON AND DOVER RAILWAY. Mr. HODGES moved that the London and Dover Railway be referred to the Kent List Committee. Mr. CRAWFORD observed that the Committee had spe cially reported that this Bill should be referred to the same Committee as that to which Stevenson's aura Rennie's lines had been referred, as it was a junction of these lines.—Motion agreed to. MEDWAY NAVIGATION. Mr, HODGE S presented a petition in favour of the Medway Navigation Bill ' • and then moved that the Bill be r ead a second time. Th e Bill was nearly the same as that introduced last year, but some additional clauses had been introduced to meet objections that had been then made. Sir E. KNATCHBULL opposed the second reading. The Bill was not required, as the very railroad to which the Hon. Member had referred ran parallel to it. The measure, he trusted, would not receive the sanction of the House, and he would, therefore, move that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Captain PECHELL could see no reason why the Bill should have been again introduced • he had o pposed the Bill last Session, and w ou ld most certainly give it his decided op- , position now. Mr. WILK S had also given his opposition to the Bill last Session. They were then informed that some improvement would be made in the management of the Company. None had yet taken place, and the agricultural interest, when they applied for relief, were treated with scorn. There were pro. visions in the present Bill which he disapproved of ; but he would support the second reading for the purpose of having them removed in the Committee. Mr. G. F. YOUNG deemed the existence of the Com pany a great nuisance. He would have been better pleased had the Bill altogether abolished it, for he decidedly objected to the controul of a navigable river being placed under the controul of a Company who had grossly abused the powers they were possessed of. He would support the second read for the purpose of amending the Bill in Committee. Sir. C. BURRELL supported the amendment. Mr. APLE AN thought that the Bill ought to be read a second time, for it was only in a Committee up stairs that the charges against the Company could be investigated. Mr. PLUMPTRE said, if this Bill passed, not one of the Railway Companies would be safe. This one had been established for 100 years, and had got every thing in action for the n avigation of the river at great expence, and this Bill would a nnihilate it. He would support the amendment. Mr. HU:VIE hoped the House would not be led away by the s tatements of the Hon. Member. The Company had got a monopoly with certain trusts to perform, which they had most shamefully neglected. What was asked was that they might go into Committee on this Bill, in order that they might prove that parties who had had public trusts reposed in them, had neglected those trusts. Such being the case, could it be said that Parliament could not interfere? He entreated the House to vote for the second reading of the Bill, in order that its merits might be ascertained in Committee. Mr. HODGES supported the second reading of the Bill. Sir W. GEARY was as anxious as any man could be - for a full examination of all the charges that had been made, but as he looked upon the present Bill as a gross attack upon pri vate property, he should oppose the second reading. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. The House divided, when there appeared— For the second reading .. Against it 46 Majority in favour of the Second Reading ' BRIGHTON RAIL ROAD. During the exclusion of strangers, we understood that Mr. Wigney presented a petition from the Commissioners of Brighton in favour of Sir J. Rennie's line of railroad, and praying to be heard by Counsel against Mr. Stevenson's line. MACCLESFIELD SMALL DEBTS' BILL. Lord STANLEY, during the exclusion of strangers, moved the third reading"of this Bill. Mr. ROEBUCK rose to oppose the third reading of the Bill ; but would first present a petition from Macclesfield against it, and he would then state the reasons why he j objected to the Bill. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then presented the petition, and proceeded to say that the principal reason for opposing the Bill was that the Chairman of the Sessions at Macclesfield, as we understood, was ap pointed by persons who were self-elected. If there was any one thing more than another desirable in a court of justice, it was that it should be wholly responsible.—( Hear, hear.) Among other things, this Bill gave to the Chairman the power of committing persons to prison. Now they had already passed a Bill for the abolition of punishment for debt, and yet this Bill went to sanction a practice which they were at the same time about to pass a law to abolish. This court would be wholly irre sponsible, and it would have a power which ought to be taken away from every body. lie objected above all things to any private party having this power. He might be asked why this Bill was not opposed before ? It was opposed, but from the peculiar way in which the private business of the House was done, it was utterly impossible, unless attention was called to it, to know what was going on. He would conclude by moving that the Bill be read a third time that day six months. Lord STANLEY said that if some intimation of objections had been made on the second reading, the Bill might be so modified as to meet it. He wished to observe to the lion. and Learned Member for Bath, who brought forward this op position to the Bill for the recovery of small debts, that up to the present moment no single petition had been presented either against the principle or the details of the Bill.--( Hear, hear.) He (Lord Stanley) brought forward this Bill at the earnest request of a large portion of the population, consisting of 64,000 persons. With respect to the Committee that sat on this Bill, not only were the two Members for Macclesfield on the Committee, but every Member of every considerable place in the neighbourhood, and the clauses of the Bill had received the unanimous assent and approbation of every man on the Committee. That was a strong argument against op posing the Bill in any stage ; but when at the last moment, when at the third reading such a motion was made, he thought he was justified in saying that the Hon. Member should have brought it forward on the second reading of the Bill. It had been objected to the Bill that the Barrister who was to preside was appointed by Lord Derby, the Hereditary Grand Steward, and therefore that there was a monopoly of patronage in one individual. The fact was that the Barrister was appointed by the Commissioneis and removeable by them. These Com missioners comprised 150 of the most respectable and influen tial persons within the jurisdiction of the Bill, and residing within the district. They were the persons who had the power of controlling the proceedings of that Court.— ( Hear.) The power of imprisoning had been objected to, but by the provisions of the Bill that did not extend to more than seven days. That power was still further circumscribed, as it only applied to cases of per sons who shifted and changed their lodgings, and refused to come to any agreement with their creditors to pay by instal ments. He (Lord Stanley) believed that the opposition in the present petition was grounded upon the supposition that the power of imprisoning was much more extensive than it really was. If such was the case, then the present petition fell to the ground. Out of 2,640 persons who had come within the jurisdiction of that Court,. only 50 persons had gone to prison for even that short term.—(Hear.) Such were the provisions of the Bill, and it was on these grounds that it had received the support of the whole population of the district. There had not been the slightest objection throughout, and now a motion had been made, not by any Hon. Member connected with that district—not on the second reading of the Bill—but at the last moment, on the third reading, by the Hon. Member for Bath, who was totally unconnected with the district.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. AGLIONBY had not known, until within a short time, that the Bill contained a clause opposed to the principle of freedom from arrest for debt. That was a clause to which he should offer every opposition in his power.—(Hear, hear.) It was one which was contrary to the measure passed . by the House in the last Session. He could not get the Bill in its amended shape, but he was informed that the objection able principle was still preserved, only with the modification of limiting the duration of imprisonment. He thought that the non-payment of debts should not be punished as a fraud, and while he was in that House he never would be a party to any Bill where the principle was retained. It was said, if the other House passed the Bill which received the sanction of that House last year, the power of imprisonment for debt contained in that before the House would be overruled ; but while he had in his own hands the power of ' objecting to a very bad principle, he would also endeavour not to allow it to go to a place where different feelings might be entertained and acted upon. He should give his most cordial support to the amendment. He did not look to the quarter whence the opposition to the Bill proceeded, but, weighing the arguments, he should vote against the third reading. Mr. HA WE S—The Noble Lord opposite complained that no notice had been given by the Member for Bath of his intention to oppose the Bill on the third reading. Such was not his intention, for he had not been aware of its provisions un- til he received a petition from Bath, signed by 5,000 persons, against its provisions. Creditors generally were opposed to the abolition of imprisonment for debt, though it was found in most instances to act prejudicially to them as well as to the debtors. The Hon. Member concluded by reading an extract from the Report of the Commissioners on small debts in Scot land, and he entreated the House not to sanction the principle contained in the Bill. Lord STANLEY hoped the House would allow him to remark that, having looked at the petition, he found there were no names attached to the sheet on which the petition was written, and the paper . was of a different kind from that on which the signatures were placed.—( Hear, hear.) He had never seen this petition before, and having now seen it, he thought he should not have done his duty unless he had stated the facts to the House. Mr. ROE BUCK said he must be allowed to say a few words after what had been stated by the Noble Lord. The Noble Lord would insinuate by what he had said, that he (Mr. Roebuck) had something to do with the getting up of the petition.—( Cries of " No, no.") He could assure the House he had never heard of the petition until it had been sent up to him. Either last session or the session before he had moved for returns respecting Courts of Request, and the petitioners seeing those returns, and seeing that he had en. gaged himself with the subject of Courts of Requests, had sent the petition to him. He begged again to assure the House, that he knew nothing of the petition before it had been sent up to him ; and this opposition to the measure was not be cause it was against the wishes of the people, but because it was against principle. Mr. HUME thought the House would be deviating from the principle laid down with respect to Scotland, if they adopted the present Bill. He trusted, therefore, the House would reject it. By the Bill for Scotland, no person could be imprisoned for less than 101. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. The House then divided— For the motion Against it Majority —49 On our re-admission to the gallery, Mr. HUME was complaining that the Bill upon which the House had just decided had not been printed. Lord STANLEY said that the Bill was printed, and he held a copy of it in his hands. Mr. HUME said if the Bill was printed, it had not been distributed to the Members. An Hon. Friend near him had just informed him that the Bill had been printed for the Lords. He conceived it was most improper to call upon the House to pass any Bill until a copy had been furnished to each Member of the House. Lord STANLEY made some observations across the table. Mr. HUME said the clause he proposed to strike out was the clause authorising imprisonment for debt. Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH put it to the House whether it was proper for the Hon. Member for Middlesex to waste the time of the House by another division. Mr. HUME felt that there was a most important principle involved in the question, and he would not shrink from dis charging his duty, even although some Hon. Members might be inconvenienced by it.—( Hear.) Mr. FRENCH made some observation. Mr. HUME—This is a most indecent interruption. Mr. FRENCH again rose, but, from the noise which pre vailed, the observations of the lion. Gentleman could not be heard. Mr. HUME said he had a decided objection to give a power of imprisonment, even for seven days. Ile moved, therefore, now, that this portion of the clause be struck out.— ( Hear, hear.) Mr. HAWES said, since the last division, a great many members had entered the House who were not aware of the nature of the question which they were now discussing. The object of his Hon. Friend's (Mr. Hume's) amendment was to establish a principle in England which had already been recognized with regard to Scotland.—( Hear.) Mr. E. J. STANLEY said that it was only in peculiar cases that the power of imprisonment remained. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could not support this clause.—( Loud cheers from the Ministerial side of the House.) He did not think that the power of imprisonment ought to re main where a man was willing to give up the whole of his property.—( Hear.) He thought that a man ought not to be subject to imprisonment unless fraud was proved. It seemed to him that the House would fall into an inconsistency in sup porting a practice which they had condemned in a former ses sion. At that time of day it was too much to hope'that House would be prevailed on to sanction the power proposed to be given by these clauses.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. MACLEAN supported the clauses. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. The House divided, when the numbers were— For the third reading 97 Against it Majority 23 Oa our re-admission to the gallery we found Mr. WARBURTON moving the further adjournment of the question till Monday next. Mr. GROTE had great pleasure in seconding the motion, on the ground that th e H ouse was called upon to sanction a Bill of the contents of which they were quite ignorant. He would give the Bill, if pressed, all the opposition in his power. Mr. EWA RT rose amidst loud cries of " Divide, divide." There were two reasons why the Bill should not be pressed now. The House was taken by surprise—he for one was ig norant that the Bill was in contravention of a great public Bill. The other was, that the Bill had not been printed according to the usual practice. He was sure the public would justify them for the Opposition they were determined to give to it. The Gallery was then cleared for a division, when there ap peared— For the moti on Against it Majority On our entrance to the gallery, some Hon. Member (Mr. ROEBUCK, we were told) moved that the House do now al j )urn. --- Strangers were ordered to withdraw. The [louse then divided, when the numbers were— For the adjournment 53 Against it . . l2B Majority against the adjournment —7s It was then moved that the debate be adjourned to Tuesday next. For the adjournment 43 Against it Majority against the adjournment _-96 On our re -admission to the gallery, we found Mr. II LT NIE on his legs, when Sir CHARLES I3U RRE LL rose to order. Strangers had been ordered to withdraw, and he now saw strangers I n the gallery.—(Cries of " withdraw.") The SPEAKER then directed that the reporters ga l l should be cleared. The House divided— Ayes Noes Majority Question again stated, " That the Bill do pass." Where upon motion made, and question put, " That this House do now adjourn." `The House divided Ayes Noes Majority The House adjourned at a quarter before Eight o'clock. The following is the clause objected to : " And be it further enacted, That no person or persons shad be committed to any gaol or prison by order of the said Court for any debt or debts, or kept or continued in custody, on an) pretence whatsoever (except in the cases herein provided) , ff' r any longer space of time than seven days, from the time ofhif l, her, or their commitment ; and the keeper or keepers of every such gaol or prison is and are hereby directed and required to discharge such persons accordingly."
