In the House of Lords the Detached Parts of the Counties Bill was read a second time. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from CHARLES HENRY RUSSELL, praying that he might be heard by counsel against the ,Race-course Gaming Bill, and gave notice that, on the order of the day being read for the committal of the Bill, counsel shoull be heard against it. Lord BROUGHAM, in reference to the Aliens Bill, biftnight up from the other House, called the attention of their Lordships to the anomalous and unjust posi tion in which foreigners were placed in this country as regarded the acquisition of property and the per formance of civil duties. In no other country was a foreigner so ill treated as in England. Even a natu ralised foreigner could not hold the humblest office under the Crown, while a foreigner might, accord ing to the Act of Settlement, be chosen as the hus band of the QUEEN, and be endowed with all British privileges. It did not appear that the Bill stood for discussion that evening, and no other Lord spoke on the subject. On the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE the Art- Unions Bill was read a second time. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that he would move the second reading of the Sudbury Disfran chisement Bill on Monday, and move that counsel be '2tettrd again3t the Bill. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, counsel against the Horse-Racing Bill were ordered to be heard this day at four o'clock, and the House ad journed at half•past seven. The Commons met at one o'clock, and went into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill. A number of clauses were adopted, and on clause 60 being read, Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved that the Chairman report progress, and the House resumed. After several petitions had been presented, Mr. THOMAS S. DUNCOMBE called the attention of the House to the proceedings before the Com mittee appointed to inquire into the system of open ing letters at the Post-office. The Hon. Member made an excellent speech on the occasion, and gave an amusing account of the way in which the inquiry was conducted. 'He had been called as a witness, and requested to produce a list of the witnesses who could confirm him in his statements made in the House, but he declined to give the list, except on the condi tion that he should be present to hear the witnesses examined. The Committee referred the point to the House. Lord Sem:lox, Chairman of the Committee, and Mr. HUME rose together to speak, when the SPEAKER said there was no question before the House, upon which Mr. DUNCOMBE moved that it be an instruc tion to the Committee that be be present at the:exami nation of the witnesses he might call. Lord SANDON said the Committee had no objection to Mr. Dux- COMBS being present to examine the witnesses, but he should be present as a member, and incur the re sponsibility of the other members. After remarks from Sir R. PEEL, Mr. NUMB, Mr. LABoucnERE, and others, the motion of Mr. DUNCOMBE was put to the vote, and on a division, it was rejected by a majority of 90, there being for the motion 51, and against it 141. Mr. DUNCOMBE made an excellent speech on introducing the subject, and in all the speeches that followed no substantial reason was given for excluding him from the Com mittee. Will Sir JAMES GRAHAM, thus burk the inquiry, by appointing a Secret Committee to inquire into the practice of opening letters, and ex cluding the very man who could bring the delinquents to justice ? On the order of the day being read for the third reading of the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill, Mr. MORE OTERRALL opposed it, and moved that the'Bill be read a third time that day six months. Lord ELIOT opposed the amendment, and after a lengthened discu,seiim the amendment was withdrawn, a d the Bill was read a third time and passed. The House then went into Committee on the Poor law Amendment Bill, and several clauses were added, at the suggestion of Sir J. GRAHAM. • _ Mr. liiYoRKE moved a clause to restrain the Commissioners from enforcing the indiscriminate se paration of man and wife, but it was rejected by a majority of 90, their being only six votes in favour of it. Mr. BURROUGHE9 proposed the addition of a clause relating to illegitimate children, which was opposed by Sir J. GRAHAM, but eventually carried by a ma jority of one. The remaining clauses passed through Committee, and the House resumed. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'Clock, The House of Commons is surely, affecting a return to the good old times of its puritanism and its prudery ! We see nightly indications of the "Crom wellian" facility which carried the decisions of the Parliament of the Protector always one way— namely, that which had been previously indicated to it as the course which "his Highness" would have this or that particular question or business to follow—ac cording to the communications vouchsafed by one of his Secretaries of State or Chief Commissioners of the Treasury. This practice has been accurately fol lowed by the majorities of the present House in dealing with such matters at the "Factories Labour Bill" and the " Sugar Duties." When the head of her MAJESTY'S Administration remonstrated with the " collective wisdom" of the country on the injudi cious determinations they had recorded, by important majorities against the Government propositions re• specting those measures, the majorities we speak of listened and waxed penitent. But when " his High ness," with all the gravity and plausibility of the Protector, and with not one atom Aess of that arbi trary stateman's well-known truthfulness and sin cerity, protested that if they did not rescind their determinations he was determined to expose the empire to the calamity of his retirement from office, the obsequious parties to such unpalatable exhibitions of independent judgments, submitted themselves to his. They unvoted, by equally important majorities, what they had voted and so enabled the Minister to carry his points— points which it seems " to have repented them" to have ever thwarted. But the House of Commons of 1844, carrying its rage of imitation to a period some ten years earlier than the Cromwellian Parliament, is evidently bent, on rivalling its predecessor of 1644 in its abnegation of all " self-glorifying pretensions.' It might have already passed the most " self-denying ordinance" which a Chamber of Conventiclers or Covenanters could have devised for the expression of their humiliation, were we at liberty to form our own conclusions from the tone of the debate of last night, on Mr. ThOMAS DUNCOMBE'S motion. Constitutional firmness, public dignity, and self-respect, appear to be properties that are becoming obsolete in the House of Commons even in theory ; and in practice, or vindi cation, to have fallen into as utter desuetude as half of its own " standing orders." Mr. DUNCOMBE complained that the " Post-office Committee," recently appointed, could not, as at pre sent constituted, carry out its inquiries in a proper and efficient manner; that unless he were permitted to be present at the examination of witnesses, they, either from fear of ultimate consequences to them selves, or from other causes, would not depose to all, or to the most important, facts, which they would otherwise speak to. lie concluded his speech by moving that he should be " present at the examination of such witnesses as he might think proper to produce in support of the charge which had been made by him." To this motion an amendment was subse quently moved, "that the names of Mr. DUNCOMBE and Mr. MANNERS SUTTON be added to the Commit tee." This proposition was lost on a division. It was supported by 51, opposed by 141 ; and rejected, therefore, by a majority of 91. But 'the important feature of the debate was this. In complaining that the Committee "had not made searching inquiry into " facts of which he himself was fully cognizant," he took occasion to ask Sir JAMES GRAHAM "whether any letters of his (Mr. T. DuszcomnE) had been opened by the Right Hon. Baronet's orders ? This was a question justified by his oath of allegiance, as a Member of that House. If his letters had not been opened by order of the Right Hon. Baronet, they had been pryed into by other persons, and therefore it was doubly incumbent on that House to investigate the circumstances, and to place the facts on record." This was a most serious question to be propounded thus solemnly to a Minister of the Crown. All we can say upon the "justification" to be adduced for it, is, that we should think an outrage Upon the public confidence so gross and scandalous as the violation of a sealed letter, is one upon which the meanest or most insignificant member of the commu nity has ss indefeasible a right to complain, and in terms, too, of indignation and displeasure even the very strongest—As the highest personage in the country. We have not the most remote doubt, that the little being who absorbs so signal a share of the attentions and caresses of royalty and of the aristo cracy in this country—the soi-disant General TOM THUMB himself—would have a good action to-morrow against all or any of the higher Post-office authorities for any fact of letter-breaking which he might prove to have occurred in the case of a billet addressed to his own imperceptibility. But in an assembly of English gentlemen—in the presence of the assembled represen tatives of the Commons of the United Kingdom, such a charge, brought by one of their own body in respect of his own letters—against a public functionary, sitting there in the double capacity, as it were, of a delegate from the people and a Minister of the Crown; must be allowed to have a character of grave and fearful responsibility about it, which it is impossible to ex aggerate. Any man in the situation of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Secretary of State for the Horn& Depart ment, it might be imagined, would have responded to it under a full and deep perception of this responsi bility. But how did he meet the question? By (in the first place) a Nag..ue (and surely an unmeaning) compliment to Minguiccomat on his little proneness " tovapouring." Vapouring, forsooth ! As if to com plain , loudly, on the assumption of having been:the object of a base, a scurvy, a dishonest system of trickery and fraud, unknown to the spirit and genius of English deal- ing in public or private business, were a mere ad captancium exhibition of bullying ! gar Jar pro ceeded thus :—" At the same time he could not re ti - frain from reminding the Hon. Member that he had put a question to him which he was already aware could not, consistently with the avowed and known sense of duty entertained by him (Sir J.GRAHAm), be answered by him." Well ;—we do protest that the serene assurance of the Right Hon. Baronet in ven turing to talk of what his "sense of duty" will prompt him to—and in taking credit for it, too, with the House—in the face of his yet unforgotten, and never to-be-forgiven tampering beforehand with re porters for the public press, on his private missions to Clontarf or to Donnybrook, or anywhere else, where Repeal agitation meetings were likely to be held, at which Repealers could be caught tripping, by some "chiel among them taking notes ;"—this as surance, we say, though from the Home Secre tary, overcomes our gravity, and shocks even our large allowances for his adventurous mo desty ! Nevertheless, what follows is better. "He had already stated to the Hon. Gentleman, on a former occasion, that the sense of public duty which he entertained forbade him to give any answer to the question put by him.—(Hear.) He (Sir J. GRAHAM) was alone the judge of that sense of duty, and he, acting under that judgment, said, that he could not, and would not, give any reply to the Hon. Member's question. If Mr. DUNCOMBE cannot rely in" unhesitating con fidence" on Sir J. GRAHAM'S " sense of duty," he can't have generous simplicity enough to trust a Jew pedlar with his gold watch, on the man's assurance that his "sense of duty" will make him return it to him next day, when he has ascertained what it is worth. That Sir JAMES should be so sanguine about other people's appreciation of his " sense of public duty," is droll enough. That the House of Commons; should con firm him in his calculations on its credulity is all but incredible, though the fact is before our eyes I We are quite of their opinion, who hold the pro gress of incendiarism in the rural districts to be an evidence of the fearful depreciation of moral cha racter which, somehow or other, is taking place but too palpably among certain classes of our industrial population. It is too true that this inauspicious symptom is most developed in our agricultural dis tricts, but it cannot be said that our manufacturing localities are free from it. The frequency of the crime, and the class of the victims against whom its visitations are always directed in the former cases, tell their own tale. A little consideration would enable us, we fear, to trace the " fire-raisings" in the latter to the same spirit of indiscriminating resent ment which is ever prepared to sacrifice all considera tions of prudence and forecast—all, providence for the future, all regard for the present—to the instant gra tification of one passion—reckless of all conse quences, indifferent to all ties, sympathies, or affec tions. It is only, we suspect, a keen sense of into lerable wrong, acting with the concentrated energy of despair, which can thus incite the hideous revenge of hopeless poverty against the possessors of pro perty, in which their own war of destruction must inevitably prevent them from participating. If we desire our readers—if we call upon members of the Legislature, in particular—to examine into the motives of this revenge, we need hardly guard ourselves be forehand against the suspicion of attempting to extenuate the guilt, or palliate the infamy of this crime of arson. On the contrary, we shall ever de nounce it as the most contemptible, as well as the most cowardly,—the basest, as it is also the most ferocious, outrage:which any individual can commit against social property and the rights and security of his fellow-citizens. It is the most dangerous of all the delinquencies that private malice (by whatever extremity of wrong incited), can be guilty, against the unsuspecting confidence of the community, or any of the individual members who compose that commu nity. Common 'Taw, therefore, and the analogy of all criminal impulses must lead us to suppose that an offence of such a character as this cannot become, in some sections of the kingdom—we blush to write it— common, and the subject of constant alarm and agi tation among their peaceably disposed population, without predisposing causes of great intensity. These must have existed, too (it may be safely assumed), for some time past ; for no maxim is more generally true than that men do not rush headlong, on the first suggestion or prompting of their evil natures, into the last excesses of criminal atrocity. Now the pre valence of incendiary fires in Essex, in Suffolk, in in Norfolk, in Kent, and other counties, is a " social evil " but too easily explicable, we fear, on princi ples, the action of which will be found to confirm this view of the subject. Mr. WonenousE, of Norfolk, we see, made a very lame and very unfortunate effort to repudiate, on the part of the county with which he is immedi ately connected, the guilt of being eminently a theatre for the exhibition of these incendiary out rages. We have no desire to dwell upon the unbecoming personalities into which this foolish at tempt had betrayed ,him, because the party, who with justice complained of them, must have felt him self fully satisfied by the fair and ample apology which Mr. WanEnousE, to his honour, tendered for them. But why will Mr. WonEuousE, and those other Hon. Members who are so clamorous for " pro tection" to home agriculture, that they turn a deaf ear to the clamour for home subsistence, refuse to grant the boon of cheap bread to the perishing hundreds of thousands from whose desolate hovels it is that the hunger-pinched incendiary steals to his secret work of suicidal conflagration ? Did it never occur to Mr. WODEHOUSE—is it a fact which, though its notoriety have passed into a proverb, is still unknown, to, the landed interest,—" that famine and destitution will drive wise men mad ?" Is it so dif ficult to conceive that a broken-hearted, un employed, or ill-fed • labourer, goaded to in toleKable. distraction by the monstrous con templation of his dismantled hovel (the furniture of which has been, perhaps, already seized and sold under distraint, to discharge his landlord's demand for rent), and of his pining children, who vainly, but incessantly ask hitn for "bread," which is too dear for him to buy' out of the fractional wages he receives—that such a being should turn in his frenzy, to the destruction of the very roof to which he should have looked for shelter, and the very granaries from which his supply of bread 'is to be drawn ? Alas! these are not the limits within which a desperate man can be brought to circumscribe his reasoning—(if such a term could be applied to, the mere ebullitions of passionate indignation). He only knows that he starves in the midst of plenty: his children are dying for want under the shadow - of the well stored homested, in which are garnered all the super fluous production and . stores which represent the wealth of him from whom he can obtain either no employment at all, or employment at a rate of remu neration which will not procure fur him and his family the common necessaries of life. His own wretchedness, their distress, his abject misery and their helplessness, are constantly contrasted in his jaundiced and distorted meditations, by the abun dance, the competency, and occasionally even by the affluence of the more fortunate possessor of well stored harvests, fine stock, and farming offices, who is either the landlord or the tenant-farmer of the pro perty on which he works. If the former, he insists on rents from the latter which alone can support him in the dignified ease of his position ; and, in order to pay these rents, the latter can afford to pay only such diminished wages to his labourers as are inadequate to the demands of the poorest measure of subsistence for himself and family. In the meanwhile, the vicious habits of thinking, generated by a long course of vicious legis lation, induce both the land owner and the tenant farmer to concur in the scheme for keeping up an unnatural high price of bread ; and no amount of suffering among the poor, but industrious, agricul tural labourers who surround them can appeal with sufficient force to their good feelings, or their good sense, their sympathy or their discernment, to induce them to concur in forcing the repeal of laws which thus artificially aggravate the cost of the first neces sary of life, and which are the primary element of a monopoly system, fatal alike to the true interests of home and foreign trade. The wretch who seex all this beyond the walls of his melancholy hut, and feels all this so bitterly within them, becomes a maniac, and devotes to wasting ruin the abundance, from the benefits of which he is thus shut out, and the shelter of a home, the comforts of which are almost ostenta tiously arrayed before their unhappy producer, as if to madden him by their tantalizing unapproachability for him ! Between this poverty At Some and this talent• T UN, L-bN' D N, Flt rto AY EVENIN JULY 19, 1844. abroad, is there any middle groUnd—any slot of refuge—any point of consolation and of h-pe—to which the furious outcast might betake hir.;,solf, in order to cherish more charitable hopes of the srtn pathy of others—to get a glimpse of more oh cring prospects for the future years of his children a;:d him self? Let Mr. \%TODEHOUSL tell us how, in that county, which is the stronghold of the corn-tax inte rest; the poor-law is administered, especially in re spect of able-bodied paupers, and the public will pro bably arrive at some new guides to the solution of the impelling causes of incendiarism in Norfolk, and be able to devise some practicable plans for their entire removal, or present alleviation. Madrid journals of the 11th have bppn r.ceived. A meeting of the Members of the last Cortes had been held to appoint a Committee of Direction con nected with the forthcoming elections.

The Castellano, a Madrid journal, contains a peti tion to the Government from the sons of Genend ESTELLER, who was some time ago assassinated at Saragossa, praying not only that the four icdividuals condemned for the murder be put to death, but also that they (the General's sons) may have the " honour" of executing them.

The French Government have received dispatches from Marshal BUGEAUD, dated July 3, givin2 account of another skirmish, for it cannot be called a battle, betiveen the French and Moors on the frontiers of Morocco. It would appear from the Marshal's ac count that while encamped on the banks of a river called Oued-Isly for the purpose of protecting a tribe who had announced their submission, the Moorish chief, on ascertaining this fact, informed tl,e ierench that he would resist their approach to the Freflch camp and confine them to the mountains. The Moors established themselves in considerable force within cannon-shot of the French; BUGEAUD, in order to avoid a contest, retreated, and the enemy fired on his rear-guard. Upon this he acted on the offensive, and totally dispersed the Moorish force, which consisted entirely of cavalry, and amounted to about 4,000 men, 3,000 of whom were regular troops. ADD' E 11 A DER was present. The French had only six men woundel, and the Moors also suffered very little. The dispatch giving an account of this trumpery affair is g: von in another part of the paper. A discussion took place in the Chamber of Peers, on the Marquis DE Iloissr asking if it were true that an Englishman, who acted as Consul for England and Sar dinia, had obtained an exequatur for the latter, and had not demanded one for the former? M. VILLEMAIN declined to answer the quostinn, as it had no reference to the business before the ChArnber. The Marquis then tried his hand in another quarter, -and said—" Since the French Ambassador at the Court of England was in the Chamber, he could per haps give some explanations on the subject. It would be the means of removing much anxiety from the country." But here he met with no better success. The Count DE SAINT AULAIRE felt convinced that there was not a single Noble Peer present r, ho would not be astonished to see him so thoroughly f0r,.1,1, his duty, and what was due to propriety, as to enter into a conversation on such a subject with the :Marquis DE Boissr. The Chamber applauded the cutting re buke. The following are extracts from the papers : "The report of General Paixhans, on a credit of 1,662,000 f. for the construction of three steamers between Calais and England, was distributed last week in the Chamber of Deputies. The Debats, in mentioning this fact, says : ' The English have• at present for Calais and Oat end eight steamers, which altogether have 650 horse-power. They have given to some of these packets engines of a very supe rior description, and have placed them uniie.r the direction of the Admiralty. The Princess Alice, of 140 horse-power, crosses the Channel in 130 minutes, with wind and tide against her. France has on this line but three steamers, to gether of 160 horse-power. They are old crazy vessels, often obliged to demand the assistance of the English steamers when the sea is high, to take over our dispatches." The Committee is unanimous in approving of the Bill. The France says : —" The loyal and energetic re monstrances of the Viscount DUDOUCIIAGE, in the Chamber of Peers, have borne their fruits. We learn that M. CIIARBONNIER DE LA GUESNEME and M. DE LESPINOT have been set at liberty on bail." The Quotidienne says : " The Archbishop of Paris, and the Bishops now in the capital, have presented to the Keeper of the Seals a protest against the proposition in the report of M. Thiers for restor ing to the ecclesiastical schools the 12,000 Bourses created by the ordonnances of 1828. The . Prelates at the same time protest against the perfidy of attributing to them motives which they do not entertain, and declare that th, , v arc ac tuated by no other than the honour of the C•mr,i/, which will not allow them to accept the wages of servitii !e." A letter from Rome, in the Gazette des Tribunaux, says : " On the 4th, whilst thousands of persons were vi,iting the Berberini Galleries, examining the rich collect statues and objects of curiosity left behind by Thorwall.inn. the sculptor, two huissiers entered, and, after I:aving ,1 to the public to go out, placed seals on all the do,rs. They acted thus at the demands of the Kings of l'avari:l and Wur temberg, who declared that Thorwaldsen hail given them verbal promise to allow casts to be taken of worLe of sculp ture which belonged to him. This the executors if the de ceased artist state they have no knowledge of, and conse quently refused to permit, particularly as such an operation is likely to injure the marble, and still more the c.. (it his works, of which the Berberini Gallery contains a complete collection. The civil tribunal of Rome has antli,;ri-,eel the opposition of the seals on the declaration of the two Kings; but the executors have had a protest served on them at the respective residences which they have chosen at _Rome, and have appealed against their proceedings."

When completed in m ti . b!e this statue, we understand, is to be placed in the large room at Freemasons'-hall. The figure of the Duke is of colossal size, and he ii repre sented standing .upright in the act of addres,ing an assembly. The robes in which he is apparel d are those of a Knight of the Garter, and he we r. resides the insignia of the Guelphic order. His attitt , de is easy and natural, and by no means wanting in dignity, and the likeness will be at once recognised by all who have seen the original.

Much conversation has taken place in political and com mercial circles this morning at the sorry figure the Ministers cut last night in the House of Commons, on the clause brought forward by Mr. Burroughes, in Committee on the Poor-law Bill. Staid men in the city, Whig and Tory, think that such displays will end soon in the resignation of the Premier; but only a limited effect has been produced upon the value of the funds, as whoever comes in must respect the national obligations; and as to trade, the opinion is that the move made by Sir Robert Peel, in unfettering the commerce of the country, will be more vigorously followed up by his political opponents, should the mantle of office fall upon the leaders of that party. There is not a single colonial arrival of a late date this morning. . _ The arrangement of the Consol Account is now in pro gress, and stock seems very scarce, having been called yes terday, just before the close of business, at 995. Money being easy; however, obviates any difficulty that might otherwise be experienced by the Bears. Consols are now marked 995 to 5 for immediate transfer, and 995 to 5 for the August Account. The Unfunded Debt is supported at 77s to 79s premium. Bank Stock has realised 1995 ; and East India Stock 284. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 1014 to 102 ; the Reduced 1025 to 5 ; and the Three per Cents. 1005 to 5. East India Bonds are 98 premium. The Commissioners have taken 20,0001. Consols, at 995. The Foreign Investments have been comparatively quiet, but Spanish Bonds again look firm, and are higher, the Five per Cents. being 235 5, and the Three per Cents. 335 5 ; Portuguese Converted are dull at 45i to 5 ; Mexican firmer at 36 to ; Colombian have risen to 135 5, and Brazilian to 835. The Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. at 615 to 62—a further slight advance. The Railway Shares generally rule somewhat higher, and although not in brisk demand, there is a fair business doing.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. RAILWAYS. Mr. GLADSTONE rose, pursuant to notice, to move certain resolutions relating to the deposit of railway sec tions, plans, and bills in the railway department of the Board of Trade, and to reports which might be made thereon. He would not make any statement with re spect to these resolutions, as the resolutions sufficiently explained themselves. They were 'as follow :-1. That in the case of Railway Bills, if any report made under the authority - of the Board of Trade upon any Bill or the objects thereof be laid before the House, such report shall be referred to the Committee on the Bill, and it shall be an instruction to the Committee to consider the matters therein contained. 2. That the 11th sec tion of Standing Order 87, requiring the Committee, in the case of a Railway Bill, to report specially on com peting lines, be rescinded. 3. That, in the case of a Railway Bill, the Committee report specially,—Whether any report from the Board of Trade in regard to the Bill, or the objects thereby proposed to be authorised, has been referred 14 the House to the Committee, and if so, whether any and what recommendations contained in such report have been adopted by the Committee, and whether any and what recommendatians contained in such report have been rejected ; and, in the case of any competing line or lines, the reasons which have induced the Committee to recommend the adoption or rejection of any such competing lines. 4. That, in the case of Railway Bills, a copy of all plans, sections, and books of reference, required by the Orders of the House to be deposited in the office! of any clerk of the peace or sheriff clerk, on or i ba fore the 30th day of November immediately prece ing the session of Parliament in which application fo th e Bill shall be made, shall on or before the same d b e deposited in the offic e o f th e ra il wa y dep a rt men t o the Board of Trade. 5. Th a t, i n th e case o f R a il wa y ills, a copy of every Bill annexe d t o a pet i t i on b e d epo ited in the office of the rail wa y d e p ar t men t o f th e B oa d of Trade, on or before the d a y o f p resenta ti on o f t h e eti tion to the House. 6.

Th 4, in the case of Railway Bills, a printed copy of every 11 as amended in Committee, except in cases where - Committee shall report the amendments to be verbal or literal, be deposited by the agent for th at the office of the railway department of the Boa Trade, three clear days at least before the consider of the report. 8. That, in the case of Railway where it is intended to bring up any clause, or to pr any amendment in the report or the consideration t report, or on the third reading of any Bill, i shall be given thereof, and a copy of clause or amendment deposited in the offit the railway department of the Board of Trade or day previous to such report or consideration of ti port, or third reading. 9..

Ho i move the omission of the last resolution as it appl matters of which the House could have no know and, therefore, it was not necessary to have any ill tion with respect to them. The resolutions, with the exception of the last, then agreed to. Mr, PLUMPTRE again intimated his hope that regulation would be made to prevent railway tray on the Lord's Day. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS BILL. On the motion for receiving the report on the D politan Buildings Bill, Mr. HAWES was happy to say that the Noble and himself had entered into a contract of peat amity—(A‘ laugh)—and it would not be nece therefore, for him to trouble the House further. The report was then brought up. ,The Bill was 'then ordered to be engrossed, and 1 third time on Monday. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES' REGISTRA AND REGULATION BILL. On the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE, The House went into Committee on the Joint Companies' Registration and Regulation Bill several verbal amendments were agreed to. On clause 2 being proposed, Sir DENHAM NORREYS asked if it was the tion of the Government to extend the Bill to Irela Mr. GLADSTONE proposed, on the bringing report, to introduce words extending the mean Ireland: Mr. T. B. C. SMITH thought it extremely de' that the-Bill should be extended to Ireland. Th: of this extension would be to prevent the forma bubble companies in that country. Mr. HA.WES was of opinion that the measure either be extended to Ireland, or that Irish corn should be entirely exempted from it. As the cas: at present those Irish companies which had est• ments in England would be subject to the opera this Bill, while those which possessed no such establishments would be entirely exempt fr operation. Sir DENHA II NORREYS hoped that the at of Irish Members would be drawn to the subject, would therefore suggest to the Right Hon. Gen that he should at once state his intentions o subject. Mr. GLADSTONE, in accordance with the s tion of the Hon. Baronet, would at once give noti( on the bringing up of the report he should move I section of words extending the Bill to Ireland. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 3 to 5 were agreed to, after a few verb 2 I rations. Clause 6 was also agreed to, with a few verbal s rnents ; as was clause 7. Clauses 8,9, and 10 were agreed to. Clauses 11, 12; and 13 were agreed to. Clause 14 was agreed to, with some verbal a mesas. Clauses 15 to 18. were agreed to. Clause 19 was agreed to, with a few verbal s ruents, as were also clauses 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24. (LEFT SITTING.) !Stock and MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DA CORN-EXCHANGE-FR/DA (mend , _ ______ ..........
