The House of Commons met on Saturday, at twelve o'clock, when Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the Committee on the Railway Bill be postponed till Thursday, as it was his intention to propose certain amendments. The House went into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill, and several clauses were adopted. In the course of the discussion on one clause, Mr. WAILLax made some remarks about incendiarism in Norfolk and Suffolk, and seemed to attribute great blame to the landlords and tenants for the nightly conflagrations that were taking place in these counties. This remark roused the ire of Mr. WODE HOUSE, who said the crime of incendiarism was as common in other counties, and said no man was more capable to give an opinion on incendiarism than Mr. WARLEY. This remark was not noticed at the time, but on the motion that the Committee sit on Monday, Mr. WAKLEY begged the attention of the House, and adverted in language not to be misunderstood to the imputations which public opinion had cast on his character. He knew well what Mr. WoDE MOUSE meant by the remark—he had suffered much from the imputation ; but never was any imputation so unfounded. The case had been tried before Sir CHARLES ABBOTT (Lord TENTERDEN), the jury returned a verdict for the whole amount claimed, and the expenses were paid by his friends, and among these was one of the shareholders of the Fire In surance Company which had resisted the claim. _ _ Mr. WoninousE, on hearing► this, apologised for the attack he had made on Mr. WAKLEy, and the House adjourned. The result of the Birmingham Election has sur prised neither Whig nor Tory. When it was known that Mr. STURGE would go to the poll, and set him lf in opposition to the party with whom he had hitherto acted on all the great points of political im portance, no man had the slightest doubt that the Tory candidate would be returned. Mr. SPOONER owes his election to Mr. STURGE. The town of Bir mingham, which obtained its franchise from a Liberal In the discussion that took place in the House of Commons, on Saturday last, on the subject of the Poor-law• Amendment Bill, several remarks were made respecting the necessity of educating the humbler classes, which show that Hon. Members are at length beginning to awake to a consciousness of the many serious evils which are the inevitable results of popu lar ignorance. In this respect, Swing, it must be confessed, has done some good, however unwittingly; for had it not been for his alarming demon strations, we question much whether such a House of Commons as we new possess—a House elected for no other purpose, apparently, than to promote the interest of the great landowners— would not have allowed things to remain in state quo, and postponed the momentous question of national education to the indefinite period of the Greek Kalends. But Swing's vagaries are hints not to be misinterpreted nor trifled with, and when the agricultural Members find their tenants' barns blaz ing, they know not but it may he their own turn next—" nam tua res agitur parks cum proximus ardet." Hence we now find many of them full fraught with the discovery that the poorer classes, more especially in the rural districts, are not quite so illumined a 3 they had imagined them to be, and professing their readiness to assist them to the benefits of a cheap practical education. Alluding to the benighted condition of these long-neglected masses Mr. WAKLEr observed :—" The subject of the education of the poor had always been postponed in that House to other subje3ts, and, in consequence, they now had the most ignorant population on the face of the earth. They were a right-thinking and a right-feeling people, bat they had not the materials for thought. If the people had been properly instructed, would they have had the incendiari.m which they now had in Norfolk and Suffolk ? The moral, phy sical, and intellectual education of the masses had been too long neglected. The religious question had been made the great bone of contention, and the poor children had been neglected." Severe as are these animadversions, there is but too much truth in them, as recent events have shown. We say nothing of the midnight", freaks of Swing, who, with the destructive torch in his hand, may justly be considered as the symbol of rustic ignorance ; but it is not long sinc&it was proved beyond the possibility or refutation, that of upwards of a hundred individuals committed at the quarter sessions of two western counties, at least two-thirds of them could neither read nor write, and the remainder had had but the scantiest possible share of education ! And yet, de :pite these acknowledged and generally-known t'acts, Colonel RusunacoKe had the folly to state , - ,hat the Honourable Member for Finsbury was greatly mistaken when he ascribed the recent inc-ndiary fires to the deplorable ignorance of the ?eople ! If the fires in question do not originate ignorance, in what do they originate ? [n discontent, perhaps, induced by the pres ,nre of extreme poverty. Granted. We do not for an instant deny the hypothesis ; but surely dis !ontent would never here dreamed of manifesting itself in such a manner, if it had not been for the .dank, besotted ignorance of the incendiaries! We do not find Swing exhibiting his vagaries in the mann l'Acturing districts, notwithstanding the deep and general distress that has prevailed there with little ntermission for the last s:x years and upwards ? We lo not find him shaking his blazing torch over 'he Scottish barns and hay-ricks. And why? Because in Scotland, as in the northern manufacturing coun ries, the humbler classes are, generally speaking, a far Netter educated set of men than are to be met with in Ile agricultural districts of England. But the question :s scarcely worth discussion, and admits not even if a doubt. Thu plain truth is—and it . is a truth hat cannot be too often or too earnestly insisted on—that at least one-third, we might almost .4.0 further, and say one-half, of the crimes com mitted by the poorer classes have their origin in ignorance. As for the idea of Arcadian innocence And simplicity—notwithstanding Mr. BANKES' asser :ion that these virtues are still to be found vegetating in full luxuriance in Dorsetshire, under the shadow of his own park-walls—it is a mere delusion,— a theme fit enough for poets, but not for men who have to deal with the stern realities of life. IVe no longer live in the golden age ; and if our swains, as they are constantly doing in Virgil's Eclogues, still have recourse to the pipe, it is not for the purpose of discoursing sweet music, but of " blowing a cloud ;" and this, not by the banks of " purling streams," but over a pint of purl at the beer-shop or the ale-house. Madrid journals of the 7th have been received, but they bring no news. Pompous declamations appear in most of them relative to the Morocco war, and if we were to believe all that these miserable boasters state, the war cannot last for a month. Spain, by her strong arm, will obtain reparation not only for the insult offered her by the Moors, but will take pos session of an extensive tract of country adjoining Ceuta, where she will establish a strong line of forts. A letter from Seville states that M. CARDER°, who was lately arrested at Madrid, has passed through the former city closely guarded. On the 6th, the Three per Cents. were quoted at 25i for cash, 26 at sixty days, and the Fives at 191. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Friday the navy estimates were passed, and an extraordinary credit of 8,000,000 francs were voted for the current year. Though the pamphlet of the Prince DE JOIN.. VILLE made a vast noise at the time of its publication, and angry debates were expected when the marine budget was brought forward, no allusion was made to it on Friday. Possibly even the opposition thought there was too much truth in the statements made by the Prince, and the less said on such a painful subject the better. In reference to the expedition sent to Morocco, M. LIIERBETTE wished to know if events in that quarter would not occasion an increase of their expenses. Considerable sums of money were due for former expeditions. For that of 1823, Spain owed 43 millions ; for that of 1827 to Giitree, 6 mil lions were due; that to Belgium, in 1831, 2 millions ; to Mexico in 1838, 6 millions ; to Buenos Ayres, 16 millions, giving a total of 73 millions. He hoped, too, that the Emperor of MOROCCO should be made to defray the present expenses, whatever they might amount to. Admiral MAcKau could tranquillise the llc,n. Deputy's mind on the subject, as the vessels and fri gates sent to the coasts of Morocco would not •t pre- Government, has now returned a Member who will support the party that would not, but for the indomi table perseverance and moral, perhaps, also, physical courage, of the inhabitants, have allowed ( ne of the most influential manufacturing towns of the kingdom a vote in the Legislature. Birmingham had great merit in carrying the Reform Bill. No town did half so much, and we should not be far wrong in stating that all the towns together in England, Scotland, and Ireland, did not make such an impression on the House of Lords as Birmingham, when tpe inhabi tants, almost to a man,:assembled on New Hall-hill. Now times are changed. Radical Birmingham re turns a red hot Tory, and rejects a moderate Whig and an ultra-Radical. Never had the Tories such cause for triumph. The men who call themselves Liberals squabble with each other—they prefer per sonal interests to the good of their country—they fight without any political national object, and allow the remnants of a broken faction to seige the citadel of Reform. Sudbury is about to be disfranchised ; but are there no other boroughs that deserve the same fate ? Birmingham was the loudest for reform—it obtained its object, and now turns round upon the party that obtained f, , r it a place among the repre sentative boroughs of England. Never was there such political suicide. It is said that Mr. STURGE'S party, when they found—and they knew the fact from the beginning—that they had no chance, they gave their votes to the Tories, because Mr. STURGE considered himself ill-used. But are these the men to rule the destinies of a country—men who throw their principles to the wind to gratify sonv. , personal pique or assert some miserable distinction, which they cannot understand ? The Tories say, and they have good reason, that men like Mr. STURGE and Mr. FRARGUS O'CoNNoR are their best friends ; they divide the parties opposed to them, and of course the Tories come in for the plunder. We will not add another word of comment on this disgraceful pro ceeding. The result of the poll, and other circum stances, show that Mr. STURGE had not the slightest chance of success, and that but for his party, a Liberal candidate would have been returned. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1844. sent occasion any additional expense. This squadron was furnished by the usual vessels on duty. If the character of this demonstration should by chance be afterwards changed, and war should break out, he felt confident that the expense would not be at the charge of France. A letter from Oran of the 28th ult., in the Algerie, gives an account of the arrival in the roadstead of the squadron commanded by the Prince DE JOINVILLE, at four in the afternoon, and adds : " The three ships of the line and the frigate Belle Poule have on board 700 marines, 208 artillerymen (2 batteries), and 150 of the 3d regiment of Engineers. Independent of these troops, there have been organised on board the squadron four companies for service ashore, each of 150 men, and which may, in case of need, be increased to 200 from among the elite of the crews, making altogether a force of nearly 2,000 men at the disposal of the Admiral, to land in an instant at any one of the ports of Morocco. The Prince has also with him M. Lejeune, a naval officer, who has resided in Morocco, and is well acquainted with its topography and the hydrography of its shores." On Friday, at half-past twelve o'clock, the Duchess DE NE➢IOURS was safely delivered of a Prince, to whom th• KING has given the title of Duke D'Atargcox. The Minister of the Interior and Gen. ATHALIN, who were at the moment at Neuilly, were witnesses of the birth of the august infant. At three o'clock a salvo of artillery announced this happy event to the capital. The Chancellor of France, and the Grand Referendary were sent for, and drew up, in presence of their Majesties and the Royal Family, the act, stating the Prince's birth. At four o'clock the KING, the QUEEN, the Queen of the BELGIANS, the Duchess of ORLEANS, the Princess ADELAIDE, and the Duke DE MONTPENIIER set out for Dreux. The King of the BELGIANS, the Duke DE NEMOURS, and the Princess DE JOINVILLE have remained at Neuilly. The young Prince will be baptised on Sunday by the Archbishop of PARIS. The trial of Madame LA COSTE for the murder of her husband, commenced at the assizes of Ger, near Toulouse, on the 10th, and excites the greatest in terest.

MONEYAND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 5,000 bales at steady prices. The Market was not affected by the advices per steamer.—Railway Shares were dull on the whole. The subjoined are the rates :—Eastorn Counties, 12 ; Ditto, Perpetual, 11. 13s. 4d. ; Great Western, Half, 79i ; Hull and Selby, Quarter, 11-; Liverpool and Manchester, 115; London and Birmingham, 223 ; North Midland, Half, 49 ; North Union, 93i ; Paris and Lyons, 2i. After all the opposition given to the plan first proposed, we believe, by the late Lord Sydenham, of making Montreal the seat of Government for the united provinces of Canada, people on the other side of the Atlantic begin to think very generally that this is the best site. A commercial gentleman, who has very recently visited Canada, thus writes to the Quebec Gazette : " It is impossible to see Montreal without being at once satisfied that it is the centre of a large population, active, en terprising, and increasing; there are upwards of six hundred buildings now in progress; I happened to be in the streets early and met with whole regiments of masons, carpenters, painters, and others, going to their work, on new buildings, which you meet at every step, many of them splendid man sions; I have visited all the parts of the town, and saw very few mean houses; the streets are all niacadamized or paved wii h wooden blocks, and I found them all clean and in good order. " I visited the St. Anne's market; its hall has ceased to be a market for dead cattle ; it is to be the place of meeting of our Legislature; the room for the sittings of the Asssembly is passable, without, however, accommodation for an audi ence; the other parts of the building are incommodious, too small, and quite unfit for the object; it is an affaire manquee, and the Legislature must come back to Quebec, where the Members will find a most ample and convenient building, and the proverbial hospitality of the citizens. " I visited the Lachine canal ; it has been made a hundred feet wide, vast works are making for the new locks at its dis charge in the St. Lawrence, and four reservours or harbours each about a superficial acre in extent. It is navigated by about 28 steam-boats, continually going up and down. (I counted eleven at the wharfs) besides numberless barges, schooners, and rafts of timber and saw logs ; the activity and extent of business going on is really of a bewildering magnitude. " The shops have a rich and varied display of most costly objects (canes at 905.), fit fur the wants of a rich and ostenta tious population." To the emigrants who have gone, or are about to leave our shores for Canada, the extract net given contains satisfactory information. Up to the last dates there had arrived out at Quebec 443 vessels from this country ; tonnage, 154,856 ; passengers, 9,369. To the same time last year the arrivals were, ships, 553 ; tonnage, 199,195 ; passengers, 10,579. De crease in vessels, 110 ; tonnage, 44.339 ; passengers, 1,210. It appears that the objectors to the plan of conversion and amendment of the old Portuguese bonds, and capitalising the arrears of interest, are generally coming into the offer of the Government of Portugal made in the decree stated, the 2,1 November, 1840. Up to the end of June last there had been received at the financial agency of the Por tuguese treasury in this city 11,555,7531. ; and all the bonds representing which have been converted, and new bonds issued. to the amount of 9,446,7631. 12s. Bd. No question the arrangement was a most beneficial one to the financial position of Portugal ; and as respects the foreign claimants, it is now generally thought that the bondholders have not had a very bad bargain, that is, if the interest upon the Converted Stock continues to be regularly paid. The transactions in the Fonds this morning have been to some extent, and in general the market is firm.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. POOR-LAW AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Poor-law , Bill. On clause 36 being proposed, which provides asylums for the destitute poor, Mr. CHRISTOPHER complained that the clause was not sufficiently extensive. He thought that in every union workhouse throughout the country there should be established a vagrant ward for those houseless poor who move from one place to another, some in quest of employment, others going to their several parishes. He thought that in every parish the means should be provided for supplying those poor persons with a night's lodging, and at least one meal in the course of the day, before they proceeded on their journey. There ought to be a vagrant ward in every union work house. It would be a saving of expense to the parishes, and would save the magistrates the pain of committing to prison, even for pity sake, unfortunate persons who were travelling from place to place in search of employ ment.. These poor persons were, for the most part suffer ing every kind of destitution, rather than commit crime. Sir J. GRAHAM said that the subject alluded to by his Hon. Friend was not immediately connected with the clause before the House.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that there was every reason of humanity and policy in favour of the establishment of district asylums in the metropolis, and the five large towns. Sir C. NAPIER said that, in the two parishes which he had the honour to represent (St. Pancras and Mary lebone) there was no difficulty in any distressed person obtaining relief at any hour of the day and night. Sir J. GRAHAM said that, if he wished to refer to any workhouse for a proof that these asylums were necessary it would be Marylebone. Sir CHARLES NAPIER said that last year the Poor law Commissioners went over the whole of 'the Mary lebone Union. He had also gone over it himself, and he must confess that he never saw a place better conducted. Sir J. GRAHAM said that the information he had received was what had taken place before a police magis trate and on oath. Colonel WOOD understood that if a person applied for relief at a union they were bound to give them a night's lodging and a meal in the morning. He thought that was a course that was likely to be greatly abused. So much had it been abused that now the Commissioners had ordered that a person having a night's lodging must be detained four hours in the morning, and have four hours' work. Now, to the person who was really a pauper or wayfarer, such a course was extremely hard. He thought the proper way of treating the question was, that every person who stated he was houseless should have a night's lodging in the police sta tion.—(Oh, oh.) He was anxious that the clause should be rejected altogether. Mr. HAWES entirely differed from the course pro. posed by the Honourable and Gallant Member who had just sat down. The object of the clauses was purely charitable, but he thought they ought to have more information on the subject before they passed them. The real question was, whether these clauses ware necessary, or whether, under the authority of the Secretary of State, sufficient relief might not be given to the destitute poor without these clauses. The Poor-law Commissioners themselves regarded these pro visions with considerable doubt and difficulty. Sir J. GRAHAM said he was very sorry that the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down concurred with the Hon. Member for Brecon in resisting this clause. The Hon. Member for Brecon said he thought that destitution, accompanied with the want of a home, was prima facie evidence of criminality sufficient to jus tify his incarceration in a police-station with criminals. —(Hear, hear.) In his (Sir James Graham's) opinion it was much better to provide an asylum for such per sons for three or four days than to commit them to gaol.—(Cheers.) It was indispensably necessary, as the law then stood, to provide out of the rates for those who were unable to maintain themselves, for orphan children, for destitute children, and for the education of the children of the poor ; and he had yet to learn that it was good economy to confound all the poor, instead of making a separate provision for each.—(Hear, hear.) The necessity of making this provision had been forced upon his attention by the great number of persons who had been found last winter in the metropolis, lying under arches, and in other places, without any shelter.—(Hear, hear.) Such a state of things threw a great burden on the more humane portion of society.—(Hear, hear.) He altogether rejected the assumption of his Hon. Friend that, because persons were houaeless they were to be considered as guilty—(Hear, hear)—although by the force of circumstances the policemen were driven to treat them as criminals.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that three or four of these asylums in well-selected localities would enable the police at once to take such parties to a place where they would be admitted by the heads of the establishment at all hours of the night, where they might remain for 3 or 4 days, and, if they were sick, have proper attention paid to them. At all events, he was satis fied that the duties of Christianity and humanity would be fulfilled by their sanctioning this arrangement. His belief was, that they were violated by the existing sys tem.—(Hear, hear.) In reference to the question whe ther this was recommended or not by the Poor-law Commissioners, the Hon. Member for Lambeth had re f•rred to the tenth report of the Poor-law Commis sioners. He begged, however, to refer him to the eighth report, issued in 1841, from which it appeared that some such provision was sanctioned by the Poor-law Commissioners. He did not rest, how ever, on their authority alone ; his experience of the past winter convinced him that some regulation of this kind was absolutely necessary. He could never dis card the considerations upon which the Hon. Member had dwelt ; he could never forget that many of those who contributed to the poor's-rate had the greatest diffi culty in honestly 'maintaining their independence, and bringing up their own families without assistance ; but he did not believe that under regulations such as those contemplated by the Bill any extra burden would be imposed on the public.—(Hear, hear.) Colonel WOOD explained. Mr. B. COCHRANE said that the House must have been delighted with the speech of the Right Hon. Gen tleman—(Hear, hear)—and the kindness of feeling it exhibited. He was also glad that the Gallant Colonel (Wood) had in some degree explained the most mon strous proposition ever submitted to the House—that a poor person in the last stage of destitution and suffering was to be taken to the cells o f a po li ce - station. He approved of the plan proposed by the Right Hon. Gen tleman. He could not see that the new poor law was much cheaper to the rate-payers than the old one. Under the old law the rates amounted to 8,000,000/. per aunum, and at present they were 7,300,0001., with a gradual ten dency to increase. There had been a great relaxation of the provision by which out-door relief was forbidden ; he wanted to know then what the country saved by the management of the poor-law. In a few years the rates would exceed eight millions. Mr. WAICLEY s'aid that the Right Hon. Gentleman had not overcharged the description of the condition of the casual poor. In the present state of the law, there was great inequality in the amount of relief given to the casual poor in the different parishes of the same union. He took the Brentford union as an instance, where some of the parishes relieved nearly a thousand casual poor, others only two, and some not a single one. By the 51st clause this relief would be equally shared by all the parishes, which would be a great im provement. The Right Hon. Gentleman had referred to the cruel manner in which the casual poor were driven from parish to parish ; he fully agreed with him as to the facts, and approved of the establishment of district asylums ; he believed they would be good insti tutions. It appeared the casual poor were not to be admitted into workhouses after the formation of district asylums.—(" No, no.") He (Mr. Wakley) would say no more then. If there were to be only three or four dis trict asylums the poor persons would have to travel a good distance to get admission ; this he did not think would be a cure fur the present evil, but rather an aggravation of it. Sir J. GRAHAM said he used the words three or four to show that the number of district asylums would be limited, and not to indicate any particular number. They would be so arranged that they could be easily got at, and that the casual poor would know where to apply.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HENLEY thought the question of removal was so closely connected with the law of settlement, that it would be better if the power of removal were withdrawn from the Bill, and allowed to stand over till next session, when the law of settlement was to come under the con sideration of the House. He thought the mischief of which they were complaining arose from the disputes between the parish officers and the orders of the Com missioners. He firmly believed that the power given by this Bill would have the effect of making beggars of the destitute poor. Mr. BORTHWICK said he would support the clause. It only provided for the establishment of asylums in the metropolis and other large towns. He thought there ought to be an asylum in every union. Mr. HAWES asked whether it was compulsory on the guardians to erect these asylums, because if it were not, the clause would not remedy the evil, inasmuch as while the humane parishes would consent to their erec tion the careless and indifferent would oppose it. Reference had been made to the 10th report of the Commissioners, and also to the Bth report on this subject. He agreed with the recommendation of the Bth report, which recommended such an attention in the law as should enforce the granting of relief to the casual poor whenever and wherever they might apply. Entirely concurring in the propriety of effecting these objects, ho could not support the proposed clause, because, he be lieved that the Commissioners had, by the existing law, ample powers for remedying this evil. Sir J. GRAHAM said that on Saturday, when he had proposed that this Committee should sit at twelve to-day, he had entirely forgotten that at two o'clock he bad to attend a Committee of the other House. He trusted, therefore, the House would excuse him for a few minutes. With regard to what had fallen from the lion. Member who had just sat down, he would ob serve that the power and the discretion of the Commis- sioners were absolute as to the formation of the districts, that by the 51st clause the relief of the casual poor was made a union charge and not a parochial charge, and, as the guardians of these indifferent parishes would thus find, they would not shrink from bearing their fair share of the burden, he thought there would be no practical difficulty in inducing them to consent to building an asylum ; to the building of which, however, the assent of the majority of the board of guar dians was indispensable. The Honourable Gentle man misunderstood him with respect to the quo tation which he had made from the eighth report of the Commissioners. He had not said that the Com missioners had recommended the establishment of these asylums. lie had quoted the eighth report to 5119 W that the Commissioners were at that time convinced that the present mode of the relief of the casual poor was not a good one. The Honourable Member for Bridport speculated as to the possible increase in the expense some years hence. He (Sir J. Graham) had always regarded the expense under the new poor-law as one of its most advantageous results. There had been a saving to the rate-payers, and a better administration of the law. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought these clauses ought to be made the subject of a separate Bill. If they were only to apply them to Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and the metropolis, hP wanted to know what they were to do with Sheffield, Newcastle, and other larger towns. The people of Leeds had sent a petition against these clauses, and they complained that if any asylum should be established in that town, all the poor in the neighbourhood of Huddersfield and Halifax would be drawn there. Sir C. NAPIER thought they ought not to proceed with this Bill in the absence of every Cabinet Minister (Sir James Graham had left the House). He also com plained that many cases of casual distress were not provided for by this clause. Mr. M. SUTTON said that the 58th clause applied to other cases of casual distress. Sir C. NAPIER said, that as no Cabinet Minister was present, he should move that the Chairman do re port progress. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought the Chairman need not report progress. He would, however, move that this clause be postponed. Sir C. NAPIER then withdrew his motion that the Chairman do report progress. Mr. B. DENISON trusted the Committee would do all in their power to pass the present measure, as every one of its provisions was calculated to alleviate the con dition of the houseless and destitute poor. Mr. M. SUTTON said that if any great principle in volved in the clause was objected to, he would not ask the House to go on with it in the absence of his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary for the Home Department, but the clause had been discussed the whole morning, and he could see, therefore, no reason why it should be postponed. Mr. WILLIAMS trusted that his Hon. Friend the Member for Finsbury would not persevere in his motion for the postponement of the clause. He thought the clause had been sufficiently discussed. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE seeing one of her Majesty's Cabinet Ministers in the House (Lord G. Somerset, having shortly before taken hi s seat on t h e Treasury benches), would not persevere in his motion for the postponement of the clause, but he should certainly give it his most decided opposition. After some observations from Captain Pechell, Mr. M. Sutton, Mr. T. Duncombe, and Mr. H. Hinde, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it Majority for the clause On the next clause being proposed, Sir C. NAPIER moved that the Chairman do re port progress. 83 -77 - Mi. MANNERS SUTTON hoped the House would not agree to the motion. Mr: T. DUNCOMBA said the clause involved a new principle, and one of great importance. (LEFT SITTING.) PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS (From Me Votes and Proceedings of the House of Cimmons.) SATURDAY, JULY 13.

POTTS' INVENTION OF SUBMARINE FOUNDA TIONS FOR BREAKWATERS, LIGHTHOUSES, &c. A Lecture was delivered at this Institution, on Saturday evening by Dr. Ryan, illustrative of Dr. Potts' recent inven tion for driving piles by means of atmospheric pressure, so as to form foundations for breakwaters, lighthouses, &c., in si tuations in which it has, hitherto, been difficult, if not im possible to build them, in consequence of the want of a proper foundation whereon to erect the superstructure. Dr. Potts purposes to have piles of iron, or of wood, constructed hollow, covering the top with an air cap ; the pile, thus prepared, is placed in the situation and direction in which it is to be driven into the ground. The air is exhausted by a series of ingenious contrivances from the interiorof the hollow pile, and by the pressure of the atmosphere it is forced into its place. The interior of the pile is supplied with water from a reservoir which keeps the soil within the pile in a state of mechanical suspension, and as the pile sinks this soil rises through the pile head, into the receiver, from whence it can be removed at any time at the will of the operator. Dr. Ryan stated a number of ingenious contrivances invented by Dr. Potts, to obviate particular difficulties which might arise from the state of the soil, &c., in various localities. Dr. Potts has applied this principle to the construction of caissons, which can be sunk by means of atmospheric pressure to such a depth as to form a solid foundation. By the application of various cements these caissons can be turned into solid rock. The lecture, which was most lucidly delivered by Dr. Ryan, was illustrated by various experiments, showing the process of pile driving, &c., according to Dr. Potts' method. Dr. Potts has been examined before the'Commission on Harbours of Refuge, and the Commissioners have expressed their appro bation of his plan, which has also met with the approval of several gentlemen of high scientific acquirements.

G. G. 0. HORRIBLE SCENE AT AN EXECUTION.-011 the Bth inst. Pierre Lescure, who was accused of the murder of his father, but not brought to trial for want of sufficient evi dence, and who has since been condemned to death for making away with his uncle, was executed at Riom (Puy. de-Dcnne). The circumstances attending the execution were most horri • fying. Beinga man of herculean strength, he was bound in prison with an unusual weight of chains. It required at least half an hour for the smiths to unrivet them. Lescure was much weakened by his confinement, and assistance was offered to him in walking to the scaffold, but he declined It and went forward, and even ascended the ladder with a firm step. Fearing resistance the executioners of St. Flour and Moulins were called in to aid the executioner of Riom. When Lescure appeared on the platform, his tall and athletic person towered above them and the priest who attended him. Unfortunately he was not bound with suffi cient force to the swing -board, which also was too short for his length, so that his neck went beyond the groove, and the axe, when loosened, fell on the wood of the frame, and only wounded its intended victim. Upon this the executioner from St. Flour got astride on the head of Lescure, but the convict struggled from the grasp, and, breaking his bands, rose again, with his shoulders and breast covered with his blood, his face flushed, and his eyes haggard, uttering cries that struck terror to the heart of every spectator. The priest approached the wretched man, and, presenting to him the image of Christ on the cross, succeeded by his exhortations in prevailing on him to again submit to be bound. Again the axe fell, and again missed its mark, only enlarging the first wound. Lescure's cries became still more astounding. The people shouted with indignation, and pressing round the scaffold, were on the point of overcoming the gendarmerie in attendance, while the priest, whose surplice was covered with blood, embraced and did all in his power to console and calm the mutilated man. The three executioners were for a time completely paralysed ; but at last one of them mustered resolution enough to fix the devoted head in a proper posi tion, and the axe, already streaming with blood, fell a third time, and completed its task. The three executioners are, it is said, to be dismissed from their offices.— Galignani. HORRIBLE ACCIDEN'T.—A most heart-rending and fatal accident happened on Monday to a lime-btuner em ployed at the Southwick lime-kilns, near Sunderland. The poor man, whose name was Bell, went on to the top of one of the kilns when it was burning. When standing on the stones about the centre of the kiln, the burning mass beneath him suddenly gave way, and he sank up to the shoulders in the " furnace of fire." In this position he remained for a short time in the greatest agony, till his limbs and body were so burnt as to cause his death. A rope having been fastened round the upper part of his body, he was with difficulty dragged out, when his mangled remains presented a most horrible spectacle—appalling even to contemplate. The un fortunate man has left a widow and large family to mourn his truly tuelatuct sply deitth.--.Durhant Advertiser. MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

UNION-HA LL.—(THIS DAY.) Faith Bowerman, a young female, 22 years of age, was charged before Mr. Cottingham, with the murder of her il legitimate child. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had been residing with her brother and sister for the last three months in the Belvidere-road, Lambeth. On the morning of the I,t instant, a boy, in the employ of Mr. Patrick, timber merchant, in the Belvidere -road, found an infant in the yard dead, and bleeding from wounds on the head. A policeman having been called, it was coon ascer tained that the infant had been thrown over a ten feet wall, which divided the house where the prisoner lived from the timber-yard. Inquiries were made there, and from the quantity of blood found in the water- closet and other circumstances, a surgeon was sent for, who pronounced that the prisoner had been recently delivered of a child; and she was forthwith conveyed to the Lambeth workhouse, where she has remained until this morning, when, being considered sufficiently recovered, she was brought up for examination on the charge. The surgeon, who was called to examine the body of the infant, stated that he had no doubt its death was attributable to the injuries it received on the head from being thrown from a considerable eminence. during the e xam ination, a 3, was the The te repmrsa n expressedodaeedr who i Ito ! i n w t W e e n p t te i dobnni bitterly al committing mmitting her for trial for the murder. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) A young man, dressed in superior style, who gave the name of John Lee, stated himself to be residing at Bermond • sey, and in independent circumstances, was placed at the bar on the following charge : A foreign young gentleman, whose name did not trans pire, but who is at present staying at the Club Hotel, Re gent-street, stated that as he was leaving the Haymarket Theatre on Saturday night, accompanied by some ladies, whom lie was escorting to their carriage, he heard some sil ver gingle on the stone flooring of the outward hall, imme diately behind the spot on which he was standing. An idea flashed across him at the instant that he might have been robbed, and recollecting that he had placed his purse, containing both gold and silver, in one of his coat skirt pockets, he abruptly turned round, and saw the prisoner close behind him. The prisoner at that time had his (witness's? purse in his hand, and a gentleman close to him, took it from his hand and gave it to witness. The prisoner was thereupon given into custody ; he made strong protestations of his respectability, but they were un heeded, and he was locked up. The purse contained a double sovereign, two sovereigns, a half sovereign, and some silver. The purse, when found, contained the coins mentioned, with the exception of two or three of the pieces of silver, which might have fallen out, as the slide was not put down close on that side of the purse. A solicitor appeared on the prisoner's behalf. Mr. 3IALTBY asked if the prisoner was known to the police ? Sergeant A 77, who took the prisoner into custody, replied that he had known him to be the associate of convicted thieves for two years past and upwards. Mr. MALTBY decided to send the prisoner for trial. THE FUNDS-(C OSING PRICES.) BRITISH Bank Stock 2OO 3 per Cent. Red lOO 3 per Cent. Cons. 3% per Cent. Red g ew 3% per Cent 102% New 5 per Cent.
