Messengers from the Lords brought down certain Bills. VESTRIES IN CHURCHES BILL. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN brought in a Bill to pro hibit the holding of Vestries in Churches, which was read a first time. The Hon. Gentleman they. moved.that (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'Clock. Lord. ROSEBERY presented a petition from a Dissenting congregation in the neighbourhood of Man chester against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. The Bishop of BANGOR presented several petitions from places in Wales, against the union of the secs of St. Asaph and Bangor. PRO-CORN-LAW LEAGUE. Earl RADNOR wished to ask his Noble Friend near him (the Duke of Richmond, as we understood) and the Noble Duke opposite (the Duke of Buckingham), whe ther a certain pamphlet, published under the auspices of the Pro-Corn-law League, was sanctioned by them ? for, in his opinion, a more eiscrcditable work never emanated from the press.—(" Oh, oh !") He re peated the assertion, because it was dishonest. The pamphlet laid down particular dogmas, with out at all giving data for their :conclusions. (The Noble Earl then read several quotations from the pamphlet alluded to, in support of his assertion, and concluded by repeating his question.) The Duke of RICHMOND said he thought that the practice of asking questions ought not to be exended. It was all very well to put questions to the Members of her Majesty's Govern ment, but certainly he thought it was not likely to increase the dignity of their Lordships' House for a member of the Anti-Corn-Jaw League, as his Noble Friend was, to stand up in his place and put a question to him (the Duke of Richmond), who was a member of a Protection Society.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) He felt that the proper course to adopt was not to answer so paltry a question, further than to say that he thought the pamphlet a most excellent one, and that if it was not a good one his Noble Friend would not find fault with it. He thought his Noble Friend was quite as much in error in the present instance as lie was when he last attacked him (the Duke of Richmond). In that instance instead of replying to him in his place, his lion. Friend published his ansv er in the shape of a letter in the newspaperswith his name attached. (After some further observations the matter dropped.) (LEFT SITTING.) it be r.,ad a second time on Wednesday. Mr. HAWES hoped the Hon. Member would not fix so early a clay as Wednesday for the second reading of the Bill. It was necessary that the Bill should be freely circulated through the country, in order that the parties interested might have an opportunity of becoming ac quainted with the provisions of the Bill. That oppor tunity would not be afforded to them if the Bill were read a second time at so early a day as Wednesday next. He therefore hoped that the lien. Gentleman would post pone the second reading of the Bill to Wednesday three weeks. It was ultimately arranged that the Bill should be read a second time on Wednesday fortnight. RELIGIOUS TESTS IN SCOTCH -UNIVER SITIES. Mr. FOX MAULE presented two petitions—one from the Senate of the University of Glasgow and an other from the students of that University—against the subjecting the members of the Universities of Scot land to religious tests. He gave notice that he should that day Week call the attention of the House to the subject matter of those petitions, and in order that they might be in the hands of Hon. Members in time to enable them to make themselves acquainted with the subject he begged to move that the petitions be printed and circulated with the Votes.—Agreed to. MR. FERRAND'S ACCUSATIONS. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. NEW MEMBER. Mr. T. BARING took the oaths and his seat for untinl: don. COLCHESTER AND HARWICH RAILWAY BILL. Mr. C. ROUND moved, "That it be an instruction to the Committee on the Colchester and Harwich Rail way Bill (No. 2) and the Harwich Isailway and Pier Bill, that it be at liberty to deem the line of railway from Colchester to Harwich, projected by Mr, Hosking (as inentioned in the petition of Sir Henry Webb, Bart., and William Adams Smith, Esq., presented to the House on the 19th day of this instant April), a competing line in contemplation, and to hear the said petitioners, as prayed by their petition, in support thereof." Sir A. L. HAY thought that, as the petitioners prayed to be heard in support of their petition, it H ould be only just to them to grant their request. After a few words from Lord G. Somerset, Mr. Beres ford, and Mr. Smith, Sir GEO. STRICKLAND thought that the Standing Orders on the subject of railways were much too stringent. Parties were now enabled to get up a railway line without any due notice, and so suddenly were those projects brought before the House that they had no op portunity of fairly considering the respective interests of the several parties. Thinking it to be the duty of Par liament to protect the public against those wild schemes, he should be glad to see those rules in some degree modified. Mr. JERVIS supported the motion. Sir GEORGE SMYTH said that he did not think the Committee was the proper tribunal to investigate the claims of competing lines. He would oppose the motion. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the motion Against it Majority against the mution —7l Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition against the Leeds. and Bradford Railway. Col.

TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND GERMANY: Dr. BOWRING said be wished to know from the Goverment whether they had any knowledge of a treaty between the United States of America and the German Zollverein, for the mutual admission of articles at lower rates than if imported from Great Britain or other countries. On the 23d of March this treaty was signed by the representative of the German Union and the Minister of the United States. It had been stated to him that under this treaty tobacco, the produce of Ame rica, was to be admitted into the states of the German Union at a duty of four dollars. He was informed also that the German States Union entered into an arrange ment that they would not raise the duty on rice, and that cotton wool, which was imported from the United States, should be imported without the payment of any duty; that in consideration of the advantages obtained by the Americans in Germany, Prussia, on behalf of the Ger man Commercial Union, had agreed that tobacco should be admitted into Germany from the United States at a duty not exceeding 15 per cent. ; - honey at a duty not exceeding 20 per cent., and other articles, which he would not mention, at a duty not exceeding 10 per cent. He begged, therefore, to inquire of the Right lion. Baronet, whether he was cognisant of the facts which he had stated—whether those facts were correct—and whether it was the intention of tire Government to make any arrangements on the subject in consequence ? Sir R. PEEL said the statement of the Hon. Gentle man was substantially correct, and that a treaty had been signed by Prussia, on the part of the German Zoll verein, and the representative of the United States, sti pulating that certain duties • should be paid on certain articles introdUced from either country as the Hon. Gen tleman had stated ; but at the same time that treaty had not yet been ratified: Mr. LABOUCIIERE stated that from the treaties that existed between the United States and this country, it would be impossible for the United states to admit the productions of Germany on more favourable terms than they admitted the manufactures of this country. Of course, then, any reductiou made in favour of Prus sian manufactures by America must be equally advan tageous to the productions of this country. Sir R. PEEL said the attention of her Majesty's Go vernment had been drawn to the subject. The treaty existing between this country and the United States stipulated for the admission into America of produc tions, on the footing of the most favoured nations, on condition of conceding equivalent a dvantages. How ever, as the treaty to which allusion had been made by the Hon. Gentleman had not been ratified, he thought it bet ter to abstain from making any observations just now upon it. GREECE. Sir R. PEEL, in laying on the table of the House certain papers, by command of her Majesty, said there were amongst them papers relating to the recent events in Greece, and he felt confident that the House, on pe rusing them, would view, with the greatest satisfaction, the successful results of the efforts which had been made by popular assemblies, convened under very critical circumstances, to establish the principles of free representative government and to combine with them limited monarchy.—(Cheers.) He felt the strongest confidence that when the House viewed the course which her Majesty's Government had taken, they would approve of the advice which they had given and the measures which they had adopted for the pur pose of bringing this great effort to a successful issue. FEES TO MAGISTRATES' CLERKS. Lord DUNCAN said, seeing the Right llon. Gen tleman the Secretary for the Home Department in his place, he rose to put a question to him on the sub ject of fees to magistrates' clerks, of which he had givcn him notice. On the 13th of March, the Noble Lord the Member for Lincolnshire was induced to withdraw the motion which he had made on the subject, in con sequence of an assurance from her Majesty's Govern ment that a Bill would shortly be brought forward. On the 2d of April he had put a question on the same subject to the Right Hon. Gentleman the Under Secre tary of State for the Home Department, the answer to which was so vague as to lead him to suppose that the Bill would not be brought forward so early as had been expected. He begged now to ask at what period the Bill was likely to be introduced ? Mr. FERRAND rose and said, Sir, I have dur ing this morning minutely examined into all the speeches which I made in the manufacturing districts during the Easter recess, and which have been published in the Times newspaper. I have, Sir, paid perticular attention to the leading articles of the Times, in which certain extracts from speeches of mine, which u ere said to bear on the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and the Learned Mem ber for Beverley. Sir, it is not my intention to retract one syllable which I used in those speeches, nor to ex tenuate or explain away a single sentence. When I made use of that language, I asserted the sacred pre rogative of a free-born Englishman. and I expressed my opinion upon the public conduct of two public. officers. Sir, I defy this House to deprive me of that privilege. The opinion which I formed of the conduct of those two public oMeers, is supported by the public press of the country, and is backed by public opinion. But, Sir, if, in mak.ng use of those expressions, I have in any way wounded the personal honour of any Member—(Here the Hon. Member was interupted by loud ironical cheers) —Sir, the party spirit and unmanly bearing which was exhibited towards me last night, and persisted in this instant, should, Sir, remind those Honourable Gentle men—and I am sure, Sir, I shall be barked with the feeling of Englishmen at large—that this House is the last tribunal fcr them to appeal to. Here the Hon. Gentleman paused, took up his hat, walked deliberately from his seat, and bowing to the Speaker left the House. Sir James Graham who had not observed this movement, rose to reply to the Hon. Gentleman, but as he was laying his hat on the table, a loud burst of uproarious mirth broke from all parts of the House, and on the Right Hon. Baronet's turning round, and ascertaining the cause, he heartily joined in the laughter, and resumed his scat. The laughter and confusion confusion continued for some time, and it was again and again renewed, as Mr. Borthwick attempted to address the House. After this Hon. Gentleman had remained upon his legs some time without being able to utter a syllable Mr. ROEBUCK rose, but was met with loud cries of " Oider, order," " Chair, chair," and much confusion, in the Midst of which Mr. Borthwick sat down. The Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. Roebuck) said—Sir, I rose to order.---(Cheers and cries of " Chair.") I aro sure the House, Sir, must have understood from what passed lest night, and from the transactions of last night, that a most serious charge was made before this House against a Minister of the Crown.— (Cries of " Order.") HoWever ridiculous may have been the upshot of the matter.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) An Hox. MEMBER rose to order. He said the Hon. Member for Evesham is in possession of the House.— (Hear, hear, and cries of "Go on, Roebuck.") The Hon. Member for Bath has not said one word to order. Mr. ROEBUCK—Why, Sir, I have not uttered so mugh as one sentence—(Cheers, and cries of "Go on, go on," and " Chair, chair")-- Mr. SPEAKER—The Hon. Member for Evesham was certainly in possession of the Chair. But the Hon. Member for Bath rose to order, and he has not yet ad dressed himself to any question of order. Mr. ROEBUCK—Sir, I rose merely to say that I thought it pertinent to the question of order to explain to the House now the serious circumstances which oc curred last night.—(Loud cries of "Hear,"and "Order.") Sir; I think that those circumstances may be regarded as constituting a question of privilege.—(llaar, hear.) Sir; I thought that a discussion of privilege was to take plate this evening —(Hear, hear)—but an. Hon. Mem ber' rose and made a statement—whether satisfactory or no I will not say.—(Cheers and laughter.) Therefore, Sir ; I rise merely to ask you, whether—after what did pags in the House last night—it is becoming and fitting to 411 ow those proceedings to pass over in so slight and (as we understood) so contemptuous a manner ? (Cheers.) If, Sir, you do not think so, lam prepared to make a motion.—(Cheers.) Mr. SPEAKER—The Hon. Gentleman has put a question to me on the subject which does not form part of the Orders of the House, and on wnich it is not for met to decide.—(Hear, hear.) ,Ir. Hogg then rose at the same time with Mr. Borth wick and Sir R. Inglis, amidst loud and repeated cries of" Go on, Hogg," " Order, order," &c. At length Sir R. Inglis and Mr. Hogg sat down, and Mr. BORTHWICK said that he thought that he ought to have been heard whenhe was in possession of the House._ He thought that if the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman opposite wished to continue the discussion of last night, he ought to give notice.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," de naive cheers, and continued calls for Mr. Hogg ; to which, at length, Mr. Borthwick gave way.) Mr. HOGG then rose, amidst cheers, and said :—I hOpe to receive the indulgence of the House, and I think that I am not going too far when I say that the case is a matter of privilege. An imputatation of interfering with the privileges of the House has been cast upon the Secretary for the Home Department, a Minister of the Crown.—(Hear.) But I have still more the right to claim the protection and justice of the House as if I was an officer appointed to a sworirduty.- - -(Hear, hear.) lam placed in some dif ficulty as to how I should proceed, in consequence of the declaration made by the Honourable Member who is now absent. I hold in my hand the speech of the Honourable Member which he made last night, and whilst I read it I wish of impress on the House that its meaning cannot be mis taken. I would allow him to comment on my condnct as he pleased. I will allow him to say that we were wrong in our decision, and that the law was wrong on which we acted, but I will not allow him t 4 mast upon me imputations of being in flueneed by a Minister of the Crown in discharging the sacred duty to which I was sworn as a chairman of aommittee, if it be true that I had been g uilt y , or an y other officer guilty of such conduct, it will be your duty to express yourself on the infamy of his conduct. But if the charge cannot be substantiated I leave it to you to express your opinion of the man who has made it. I am not sufficiently versed in the forms of this House to know what course with propriety to pursue ; but I claim, as I think I have a right to do, the protection of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government—(Hear, hear)—and I claim the protection of the Noble Lord, the Member for London; who is ever anxious that justice should be done to every man, no matter to what party he may belong.--(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I claim from them to initiate some pro ceeding by which the opinion of this House may be Marked. . Perhaps the most proper course will be, that the House shall declare by resololution that the charges brought forward are false and libellous.— (Cheers.) The document I hold in my hand is the re port of the speech delivered by the Hen. Gentleman (Mr. Ferrand) wherein he refers to what he terms the Right Hon. Secretary's (Sir J. Graham's) delinquencies, in the plain-spoken fashion—(Laughter)—which is his custom, and in words which are well calculated to gain for him the sympathy of every opponent of the poor law. He says, in that speech, that the meeting should remember that no man had resisted the poor-law more vigorously than Mr. Walter, and it therefore was felt necessary by Sir James Graham to get him unseated. Against that gentleman's (Mr. Walter's) return a peti tion had been presented, and in that petition an allega tion was made that between thirty and forty pounds had been improperly expended. His speech went on to say that the Committee to try this petition consisted of three Whigs and of three Tories, and its Chairman was Mr. Hogg, the Member for Beverley, one of the most pure boroughs in the kingdom, but whether he (Mr. Hogg) got his seat for 401. or not he (Mr. Ferrand) did not exactly know.—(Hear, hear.) This Tory Chairman, added Sir J. Graham, is unseat ing Mr. Walter. Mr. Hogg tried to explain away his conduct on that occasion, and all the Government side of the House on which I sat listened with feelings of disgust while he " higgled and haggled" in that expla nation.—(Haar.) There was but one man on that side of the House who vociferously cheered, and that one man was Sir James Graham. Now, Sir (continued Mr. Hogg), is there any human being who could read that article without an impression that it distinctly charges me with having been influenced by Sir James Graham and the Government barely to forego my duty, and to give a verdict for the purpose of excluding from the House a person not acceptable to them ? In a court of justice when we seek the obvieus meaning of a libel we ask what is the ordinary acceptation of its terms. I ask you to look at this journal itself—to examine its comments on this imputation upon me—and then I ask any gentleman who has heard me read the extract if he can have any doubt that the imputation cast on me is that of having been influenced by the basest and most dishonourable motives. and had made myself the instrument of Sir James Graham in unseating Mr. Walter from his place in this House. I ask if any gentleman could have any doubt on the subject. I do not complain of the terms in which my decision has been spoken. My " Nigg ling and haggling" has been dwelt upon, my determination has been dwelt upon, but of this I do not complain. The subject was properly treated by the Noble Lord the Member for London last night, when he said. that whe ther my deductions were right or wrong—whether my law was good or bad, this is nothing to the purpose—that whether my explanation was sa tisfactory or not was nothing to the purpose— I allow every one to form his opinion on these points, and to express that opinion as they please.

GLOBE.—The proceedings in the case of Barber, Fletcher, rnd their less guilty accomplices in the Wills Forgeries being closed, and sentence passed upon the criminals, the restraint under which, pendente lite, the public journals properly regard themselves as placed by the respect which is due to the administration of justice, is removed. The case was marked with incidents so re markable, that public attention has been excited in no ordinary degree by its detection and developement. The property obtained by the conspirators was large: the plans by which they effected their objects were at once skilfully devised and boldly executed. The annals of crime have furnished few instances of criminal adroit ness more extraordinary. . The closing of the scene was in keeping with the superior cunning of the chief crimi nal, Barber, who must be considered the master-mind in the nefarious schemes of extensive fraud and forgery. Barber's address to the Court, yesterday, on being called up for judgment, was remarkable fur plausibility. It was delivered with an earnestness well calculated to impress persons who were but imperfectly acquainted with the facts, as they were established upon the trial in unquestionable evidence against him. 'Those who had watched and weighed that evidence will remain un changed in judgment as to the justice of the verdict which has involved him in the consequences of the crimes to the commission of which he had been accessory. Such persons only see in his efforts to clear himself from the imputation of guilt, a confirmation of the evidence on which he has been convicted. A man so shrewd—so -capable of ad justing and ingeniously reconciling apparent contradic tions, and suggesting doubts—whose self-possession, under circumstances so calculated to unnerve and overwhelm men of ordinary minds, was almost unpre cedented—that such a man should have alio% ed himself to be entrapped into such a scheme, and to become the principal agent in a series of transactions, almost every step in which, from the concoction to the completion, was pregnant with suspicion—is an assumption so monstrous, that no man, and especially no 12 men, ac quainted with the rules which direct and govern the ordinary transactions of society could be expected to adopt it. As-ume that Mr. Barber was an innocent agent in the extraordinary series of crimes, in which he was charged with having a guilty knowledge and parti cipation, then it must also be assumed that he—an attorney, celebrated for professional tact, and possessed of intellectual discernment and vigour surpassed by dew —acted throughout a protracted period, and in a con siderable number of transactions, with a blind credulity which could only be the associate of inexperience the most absolute, and of weakness the most pitiable. Nay, more: he, an innocent agent, acting (he would have it believed) as an honourable solicitor, strictly adhering to profss sional rules, and having no further interest in the trans actions than that which is derived from the ordinary management of such business—is positively found so acting, .against numerous warnings, as to accumulate against himself a mass of circumstantial evidence of a character so strong, that in each individual case it amounts to grave presumption—in the case on which the verdict of guilty was pronounced, to satisfactory proof; and, taken as a whole, to absolute demonstra tion.: If Mr. Barber be the innocent man he asserts himself to be, then is there no force in evidence. No jury Would be henceforth safe in pronouncing a verdict of guilty. Because, as the facts on which an indic tment is founded can only be known to a jury by the ordinary medium of oral testimony, on which they are called upon to decide by the application of reason, and on the solemn responsibilities of the oath under which they deliver their verdict—if sueh an accumulation of evidence as that by which Mr. Barber's guilty knowledge was established in the Slack case, be regarded as defective in bringing the case home to an accused party, under such circumstances, no indictment for conspiracy can est( r be successfully prosecuted. Society would be pe rilled by the impunity which would be afforded to adroitly-executed frauds and forgeries. No case would be henceforth established, if the evidence against Barber were to be held inconclusive of a guilty participation. No convicted person, in our opinion, ever passed from the bar of justice to suffer the punishment which the law affixes to his crimp, more righteously and satis factorily convicted than the criminal whose case has called forth these remarks. In this opinion, we have reason to know there is . a very general concurrence. The profession most competent to appreciate the force of evi dence, and the merits of the defence set up on behalf of Mr;Barber—that he took no share in the transactions but what was in perfect consistency . with his position as ai professional man, acting with integrity for the in terepts of his client—repudiates the defence, and approves of the verdict. The class from which London juries are selected—so far as we have opportunity of hearing —is equally unanimous in this opinion. By affirming the verdict of the jury which convicted Mr. Barber, declare that they also must have arrived at the sane conclusion, had they been called upon, as jury men, to pronounce a verdict on the evidence. Mr. Wilkins, in his conduct of Barber's defence, displayed much more courage than discretion. The difficul ties of his position will go far to plead in extenua tion of any ebullitions of temper into which he was betrayed ; and we would be unwilling to press them to the injury of his professional reputation. But, whoever heard, or has read, the attack which, in the exercise of his forensic privilege, the Learned Gentle man made upon Mr. Freshfield, the highly respect able and justly esteemed Bank solicitor, must have regretted the facility with which Mr. Wilkins can sink the gentleman in the advocate. As a matter of taste, it was villanous, and could only reflect upon the source whence the coarse and unmerited aspersions emanated. As a matter of tact, it was calculated to injure the accused, in whose cause he employed the vituperation. Instead of propitiating, it manifestly tended to prejudice the jury. What must be thought of h cause, in the defence of which the counsel deemed it Fecessary to travel out of the facts, to attac k the =laves, and impvgn the veracity, of one of the most honourable and high-minded men in the City of Lon don ? As Mr. Wilkins is, we presume, a lawyer, he will, perhaps, take some mode of explaining the mean ing of the following passage in his short speech of yesterday :—" In order that my Learned Friends on the other side might not be taken by surprise, I now inform them that it is our intention to avail ourselves of every constitutional means of ren d. Flng the verdict in the last case nugatory, byi appealing to the highest legal authorities ot• the land." The jury have decided on the facts. No attempt was made by the learned counsel to arrest the judgment by any objections to the framing of the indictment. If any doubt existed as to the justice of the verdict, the whole proceedings would be revised at the Home-office. But as to " the highest legal authori ties in the land" being appealed to, where no legal ob j' ction to the conviction is alleged, we are disposed to regard the intimation as an outburst of Mr. Wilkins' impetuosity, rather than as an emanation of deliberate judgment. STANDARD.—Mr. Thomas Slingsby Duncombe last night manifested a very strong disposition to take the short-time question out of the hands of Lord Ashley, ar.d repeated, with very little alteration, the attack Made in the Times a few days ago upon the Noble Lord's proposed plan of action. Lord Ashley con tented himself with showing that his proposed line had the cordial approbation of the par ties most deeply interested and most competent to form a correct judgment. Little information, however, would be necessary to satisfy one whether a public cause, or anything ( Ise ' would be more safe in the hands of Lord Ashley or Mr. Thomas Slingsby Duncombe—or of the two whose name would be most satisfactory upon the back of "a hill," every one will under stand us as speaking of " bills "—in Parliament, not of those bills, the sale of which at a reduced price has been now and then placarded in Palace-yard. The introduction of the ten hours question led to a long and painful altercation, in which the parties were Mr. Ferrand, Sir J. Graham, and Mr. Hogg. It is but jus tice to those parties, however, to say that they very re luctantly squandered the public time upon disputes , ehiefly of a person alcharaCter, but they were in a manner driven per force into a wrangle by the make-bate zeal of Messrs. Roebuck, Hume, and (appropriation) Ward, who having fairly set them by the ears, rubbed their hands, grinned, chuckled, and crooked their hams like " dog fighters ;" illustrating a remark that we have all had occasion to make at school, that quarrels and hoeing , matches are rarely made for themselves by boys of strength and spirit, but made for them by feeble, fearftd, ill-conditioned little wretches, who like a fight, but like only to be specta tors. This painful and useless altercation is, it appears, to be revived to-night, if the make-bates can manage it ; but we trust that the gentlemen expected to act the principal parts will feel too sensibly and too justly what is due to the public, to be accessory to the wasting of the time of Parliament in unprofitable squabbles. Each, no doubt, thinks himself right, for all three are men of honour ; but each may be wrong, for they are fallible like the rest of us ; bue, whoever may be right or wrong, happily each has a character to fall back upon, too pure and too firmly established to render necessary any vindication of it upon the present occasion. The most serious charge is that against Mr. Hogg, in respect to his vote upon the Nottingham Elec- tion Committee. It seemed to us at the time that the vote was wrong, and the more we have considered it, the snore thoroughly are we satisfied that it was a vote against law and evidence; but though, undoubtedly, such a vote prima jade, a just ground of suspicion against the integrity of an unknown man, Mr. Hogg's uprightness and honour were too well known to us, to allow that we could ascribe his error to anything but an ex cess of self-distrust, or to one of those crotchets which are very populous in the heads of old lawyers. We will not, however, pursue the subject furth er th an t o sa y th a t M r .

I confined myself to this single point, and when this House talks of keeping its jurisdiction within itself and of not rosOrting, to another tribunal, how could they command the confiddnce of the public if it allowed its sworn officers to be thus assail( d. I hope that those • who are more conversant with the forms of this House than myself will kindly suggest what the proper motion ought to be. My idea was, and I assure the House that I never communicated it to a single individual below me, but from the lung standing of the Right Hon. Baronet in the House, and from his exalted position, he might be able to " treat with• in difference in this House what I could not consistently with my duty pass by; and, as the sworn officer of this House, I think I have a still stronger right to request and demand of it, not protection, but justice—(Hear, hear)—than even the Right Hon. Ba . ronet hiniself. I ask the House if these are imputations made on my honour and integrity in the discharge of my duty, and, if they are, I colt on the person making them to substantiate those charges, and here I em to ‘„ meet them.—(Cheers.) If I had done anything to create a doubt or suspicion of my- conduct I should be satisfied to meet the consequences, but if no man can state any such grounds, or raise any such doubts in the minds of ho nourable men, dun I have a right to the protection of the House, and I hope it will afford it to me.—(Hear, hear.) I, therefore, trust you will afford me that justice which you can afford to me, and that is to declare that I acted honourably in the discharge of the public duty intosed on me by the House, and to stigma tise those who have cast on me this foul imputaCon.—(Loud cheers.) I apologise ; but I feel I need not apologise to the House—(Cheers) —but the House will recollect I did not bring this forward— (Hear, hear)—l had not the slightest idea of noticing it., but when it was noticed in this House my personal. honour required that it should not be allowed to rest here.—(Hear.) I have been told it was unworthy of my notice, and perhaps I ought to apologise to the for calling its attention to what was stated in a public journal. But it wss stated in order to poison the mind of the public against me, and it was as base an insinua tion as the other. It stated that I was looking for some office or employment from the Government. I ought to apologise to the House for noticing it ; I feel it humiliating to reply to such a charge, but on my honour, never either directly or indirectly, from any member of the Government, or any person connected with the Government, have I obtained, or asked, or sought, or applied for, any office, or employment, for my. self, or any human being be!onging to me.—(Loud cheers.) 'lbis insinuation is as base and false as the other, and with the exception of sending an application to my Hon. Friend for the situation of a guager backed by representations from the place I represent. With that exception I never asked fur place or emolument for myself from any Government past or present. I ought to apologise to the House for this; but these calumnies are sent into the world, and circulated by a journal which is extensively read, and which ought to be above making such impu' ations ( Hear, he a r)—a n d I therefore thought it was my duty to declare indignantly that they are false.—(The Hon. Gentleman sat down amid loud cheers.) Sir J. GRAHAM then rose and said, the House will bear in mind that, at the very moment the Hon. Mem ber for Knaresborough resumed his seat, I ruse for the purpose of addressing it, and, Sir, I must remark, after what has fallen from the Hon. and Learned Member for Beverley, that in this House there is no distinction amongst us. We arc all honourable men, enjoying the highest honour which in a free country can be imposed on any gentlemen, that of being chosen by the people as their reprs?sentatives in this assembly. —(Hear, hear.) I conceive, that when the honour of a Member of this House is assailed, the honour of the House itself is in jeopardy, and that it is not the duty of the individual Member to vindicate. his honour to assailed ; but that it is the duty of the House to ascertain whether the stain cast on the honour of that Member was well founded, If it is the opinion of the House that the charge is well founded, it is their duty to expel the Member guilty of dishonourable con duct, in order that the honour of the House may remain unstained. The House will recollect that last night I waived my privilege of moviug that the words be taken down by . the clerk at the table. I am now limiting my observations to the charge which the Hon. Member has preferred against myself. • The accusation was this :—I had used my official power for the purpose of obtaining a false report. These are the identical words. Yesterday I stated that I waived my right to have those words taken down. I said it was better the Hon. Member should have an oppor tunity of substantiating his charge. I referred also on this occasion to another charge, which in general terms the Hon. Member for Knaresborough directed against the Hon. Member for Beverley and myself. The Hon. Gentleman said that the charge was contained in a report of his speech which had appeared in the Times newspaper and asked him to come down with that report in order to add 'the general charge against the Ilonourable Member for Beverley and myself to the more specific charge against mysely alone. I certainly fully expected when the Honourable MembeJ rose in his place, that he came down so prepared, and to give effect to the resoibtion, I understood him for mally to have announced last night. Certainly when I rose to address you, and comment on his extraordinary omission on the first and substantsal charge against myself, and also on his havins for gotten what I understood he had promised in reference to the Hon. Member for Beverley, and a , found the Hon. Member. for Knaresbourgh had left his place , I inferred he had run away from the charge he had preferred against us. Upon his refusing to join issue here in the only place where such a chage could be investigated, I for one, am most per fectly satisfied to leave this matter where it now stands. The Muse and the public will be able to judge of the conduct of the Hon. Member, and it will be for' the House to determine what course it is for them to pursue under the circumstances. Sir R. PEEL strongly advised the House, in 'a case of such importance as the present, to let some interval elapse befre they should determine what course to pur sue. We cannot, said the light Honourable Gen tlernan, adopt, in this arena, free discussion where we permit the acts of public men and -public au thorities to be discussed, We cannot adopt any proceed ing, either for the purpose of vindicating the ac cused or of censuring the accuser, without es tablishing a most important precedent.—(Hear.) I think, therefore, it is most important, before we come to any division, that we should look back to such records as may be within our reach for the purpose of ascertaining what course the House had taken under any circumstances at all analagous to these. The House will bear in mind, that supposing a charga . were preferred against a public officer, implying on his part great miscon duct, dishonourable conduct, by a member of the minority, nothing would be so easy as for the majority to support, that public officer, to brand the accuser, and to vindicate the accused.—(Hear, hear.) A precedent, therefore, is very important, and. if abused, might be dangerous ; and consider ing the • immense constitutional importance of perfectly free discussion in this House, and considering that all objectionable precedents ori ginate in some exceptional cases where, looking ab stractedly at the individual case, indignant feelingsprompt to some sudden and precipitate step ; adverting to these considerations, my advise to the House, taken as I am by surprise, on the prsent occasicon, is to adjourn the discussion, so:as to allow time for determin ing what course should be taken.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, I must say that since the day when the conjuror under took to compress himself into a quart bottle, there never has been experienced greater disappointment than is felt on this occasion.—(Great laughter.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) POL ICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY. MANSION-HO USE. Edward Bathurst, the person who was brought before Sir Peter Laurie, charged with having endeavoured to obtain 2,000/. Exchequer bills from Mr. Joseph Davis, of the Stock Exchange, was re examined yesterday. Mr. Borradaile, and other mercantile men of eminence, were present. Mr. Wise attended as solicitor for Mr. Davis. When the prisoner was placed at the bar, Sir PETER LAURIE asked him whether any friends of his mrE present? Bathurst—l have friends ; but they will not ackowledge me in this condition. Sir PETER LAURIE—Can you procure any bail ? Bathurst—l fear nobody will will bail me. Mr. Borradaile said that he attended at the justice room, in consequence of the statement which apl eared in the newspapers, having received a bill of exchange drawn by the prisoner from the Cape of Good Hope, upon Sir Charles Cockerell and Co. The prisoner had no funds whatever at the louse, and had no authority to draw upon it, and Sir Charles Cockerell knew no thing at all of him. The money had been paid at the Cape. Here Sir PETER LAURIE handed the bill of exchange, which was regularly noted, to the prisoner, and asked whether he know anything about it. Bathurst (with a l ong sth)—Yes. I do know it, unfortunately.— (A laugh.) Sir PETER LAURIE—Why did you represent at the Cape of Good Hope that you had authority to draw upon Sir C. Cockerell ? Bathurst—lf I had my papers here, I would show you that I had a correspondence upon the subject, and that I had no improper design in what I had done. lam merely unfortunate—certainly not cri minal. Sir PETER LAURIE you showed me your correspond ence with Coutts' Bank, the particulars of which I did not publicly mention ; but that only went to show they declined to have anything at all to do with you. Bathurst —I assure you I was authorised by Coutts house ro do as. I was doing, when it was thought necessary to take me into custody. Sir PETER LAURIE—Where is your property of which you have spoken ? Bathurst—l do de clare to you that I had once ample means. My father was in extensive business in India, bbt he died early, and I went out to secure his business and conduct it, but I became overwhelmed with embar rassments and difficulties, and I arrived in this country struggling with misfortune. Sir PETER LAURIE—You now say you are in distress, and still you went, in the midst of these embarrass ments, to take a counting-house, and to instruct a broker to purchase 2,0001. Exchequer bills. Now, how do you reconcile these inconsistencies? Bathurst—l was, I de clare, authorised by Coutts' to hypothecate these bills; but I admit I have acted very foolishly. Sir PETER LAURIE—The fact is, you thought you were too clever fur us, and you were mistaken. I have made inquiries, and I find that :you have respectable con nections. I find, also, that you have but very lately arrived from the Owe of. Good Rope, so that you have not had nirch time to put impositions of this descriptioa into practice; and the pictur, which the Press has dra' and is likely more fully to draw of vou will, in all pro bability, stop you in a career which might, i f unob: structed for s.,ine time, end in a trial in the CenttiL Criminal Court. Bathurst—My friends have all turned t heir backs upon me, and I have a wife and children to support. I have offended the members of my family. Believe tug was not my intention to defraud anybody. Sir P. LAURIE-Why, you have defrauded a party at the Cape, as this bill of exchange testifies , and yota certainly aimed boldly at defrauding Mr. Davis, but ha would not be cheated. Bathurst—l did not suppose they observed such strictness in business here.—(Laughter.) Sir P. LAURIE--I fancied on Saturday tha t you were insane, but I entertain a different opinion now. How ever, you have got into kind hands. Mr. Davis, whO might punish you severely, is disposed to take a very. lenient course, and I shall be satisfied to take your own recognizances, to the amount of 100/., to appear bele when required. Do not abuse this kindness. Bathurst—l shall not, indeed, Sir. All wanted has to establish just the form of credit.—(A laugh.)—/I° then very eagerly entered into hiS own recognizances and was discharged. A gentleman applied for advice under the following circumstances. Ile stated that about a mo nth e g o h handed a bill of exchange for 1001. to a friend of his t h o get discounted, that his friend handed it to a pe rson was a clergyman of the Church of England, And repre - , sented himself as having control over largo sums of money, on account of which representations the bill nits entrusted to him, and that the address this mortercg e . nt gave proved to be incorrect, as the house was u 1111 1" habited, and the Reverend Gentleman was not -,know u here. It was presumed as he had broken sererai ar 4 ?ointments promising to give the cash for the bill', 0° Le had obtained the money and misappropriated it. A summons was immediately issued. THE WELLINGTON STATUE IN THE CITY.— last meeting of the Royal Exchange Committee on the sub— ject of placing the statue of his Grace the Duke of Wellingto n,. by Sir Francis Chantrey, the trustees, Mr. John 11Iasterrner and Sir Peter Laurie, and the executers, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Jones, discussed, at considerable length , the question e as to the most eligible position of the equestrian figure on th on ; spot selected in the front of the Royal Exchange. Uptha. occasion Sir Peter Laurie stated that Sir Francis C han trl always expressed a wish that the statue should face sir south, in order that it might have the advantage o f th : e for which purpase the eminent sculptor suggested the j e l moval of the ugly upper storey of the Mansion-house, r was accordingly taken down, to the manifest improvem •n that 01 that edifice. Mr. Jones confirmed the statement as to the opinion and wish of Sir Francis Chantrey. The Committee, however, came. to the resolution, that, as the front of the Royal Exchange faced the west, it would, notwithstandi n g the impression upon the mind of so high an authority, be preposterous to turn the face of the statue away from t direction, and they accordingly agreed unanimousiy that the Duke should front Cheapside. Mr. Turner, the other e% . tutor, informed the Committee that the statue and pedeotm had long been completed; and he trusted that by the 18th of June, the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, the public would have a complete opportunity of judging of the merit s of the performance. The Committee seemed to ente rtain n° doubt that on the anniversary of the memorable event the statue would be erected. CUSTOMS.—In consequence of the great increase of business at Folkestone, it has become necessary to augnlet i the Customs establishment at that station ; which will is future consist of a sub-collector, a sub-controller, one searcher, landing and coast-waiter, and a proportion ate number of tide-waiters and boatmen. Officers of e xperien ce in the service have been selected to fill the superior situations at Folkestone. It is not proposed to make Folkestone ado tinct 'port, but it will still remain as a subordinate ststi under the control of the Customs at Dover. MADEMOISELLE RACHEL.—A melancholy piece - news, which we would most willingly contradict, was les t night current at the theatres. It was said that Mademoiselle Rachel. retires from the stage, the state of her health Per mitting her no longer to exercise her profession.—.2lloillteur Parisien.

PHILIPS was astonished at the cours e now taken by the Hon. Gentleman who had sliese n last, and who had, in former times, voided all the Pre visions ofthe Factories Act. But he might not be as' tonished at what had fallen from the Hon. MeV; ber for Ashton-under-Lyne.—(Hear, and a laugh') He would leave it to the Hon. Gentleman to rot cile his own former acts with the opinions which 35 now expressed.—(Hear). He (Mr. Philips) vo ll take the judgment of the Hon. Member for Belfest, in preference to the statement of the Hon. Men3h, i , for Ashton-under-Lyne. The Hon.

Wi t, in:fact,. upon this question, there was a s ystem to) delusion practised on the people.—(Hear, he s He apologised to the House for detaining it so 1 1 0 This was the only reference which he wished to .f e to the Bill itself. He had always been opposed tO t. a appointment of sub-inspectors to factories. He r of always wished that inspectors should be gentlemente a certain class and standing in society, whose rePThe might be relied upon by the Legislature and. doe ls country.. He should like to see those indi vl not selected from a higher class, for he did 010 wish to see subordinates sent into and factories, by which the secrets of i'Lve might transpire in quarters which the House not intended. What he should recommend wa s ' tioto ' they should select men of talent and editee se f for this office. He also objected to -be central office being fixed in London , it cause if there was any business to be d° l3 , e f i e ts , ought to be done in the manufacturing fell If there was to be any inspection at all, let it Pu t hgs apd efficient. It was not in the large toWh_.4o inspection was so much required as in the d es remote localities. He also thought that those clPiee in the Bill which referred to the guarding M ar cr chinery were superfluous, as he believed that thee—or dents arising from this cause had been grossif gyrated. ha d Mr. HINDLEY rose to explain.

In 1836 he was connected with % se a • concern in the north of England, and he exP re f the wish that they would observe the provisions Ci so lf Factories Bill. He himself lived 200 mile s t per from it in the metropolis so that be could n e e d . its spnally apply to know if his partners ebse ri t . deivh' ' provisions. After the House broke up he w! !
