ALTERING BURIAL REGISTERS, MONUMENTS, &c. Many suffer an irreparable loss of property from the destruc tion of old, and substitution of false inscriptions in Church yards, and the surreptitious interlineations in Burial Registers of Parishes, similar to the details given at the Vestry of Saint Marylebone on the 17th of August, 1839, and reported in the Observer, Times, and Herald. The regulations adopted by the LONDON CEMETERY COMPANY, lately established by Act of Parliament, com pletely prevent such .serious and distressing injuries.

The Company always offer to maintain and repaint inscriptions, and copy them in duplicate into parchment books, with two patent locks on each, kept by two persons (one being a Director) in a fire-proof safe, at Highgate and London, in which way the Parchment Burial Registers are secured, it being of extreme importance to render the authenticity of the proofs that may hereafter be required in Courts of Law, from the Company's ample records, complete and beyond a doubt.

CABINET UPHOLSTERY and BED DING, at the CABINET-MAKERS' TRADING SOCIETY, 71, LEADENHALL-STREET, enrolled agree. ably to Act of Parliament ; being the Manufacturers in all its branches. _ _ The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as no house in Landon can manufacture at their prices. The Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber dashers, bat they make every article themselves, which enables diem confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials, and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and de sidipd advantage of purchasing at this establishmen scan be fairlo estimated. The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick ness, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage. Estimates given, and orders punctually executed ; and lists of prices may be had, from which the following is an extract • Mahogany lounging chairs, covered with leather, with spring seats, 455. each ; mahogany chairs in horse-hair seating, 13s. 9d. each ; Trafalgar, 17s. 6d. ditto ; mahogany sofas, 90s. each ; mahogany Pembroke tables, 21s. ; mahogany four-post bed steads, 605. ; tent ditto, 20s. ; furniture, ditto, 20s. ; japanned chairs, 25.; cane-seat ditto, 3s. 6d. ; japanned stands and dress ing -tables, 6s. each ; japanned drawers, 345. each ; mahogany ditto, 445. ; feather beds and mattresses, warranted free from dust or smell, or the money returned ; solid rose-wood chairs, stuffed with horse-hair, from 255. each ; couches, 6/. 10s. ; ditto 100 tables, from 4/. 10s. ; mahogany ditto, 70s. each ; fancy chairs, 7s. 6d. each.

FI ETrER FROM DR. CONQUEST TO SIR JAMES MURRAY Dear Sir,—My engagements to-day have altogether pi e vented my calling on Mr. Dinneford, but I can have no hesita tion in assuring you that had I seen you previously to my writ. ing to him in reply to his appli ca ti on t o me, an d had r I then known of your right to all the advantages of the SOLUTION OF MAGNESIA, I should not have granted the Certificate which he has published with my consent. I say this on the assumption that all you said to me (and of this I can have no doubt, from your character and standing in the profession) is based in truth. J. T. CONQUEST. The proofs of Sir James Murray's right to the discovery of the FLUID MAGNESIA, may be found by reference to the Edinburgh Dispensatory of 1819, where full justice is rendered to the discoverer, by Professors Hope and Thompson. Sir James Murray's Fluid 111agnesia is sold by Savory and Moore, Bond-street, and Regent-street; Woolley, 35, Picca dilly ; Gifford, 104, Strand ; Stamper, Leadenhall-street ; Ancell and Elam, 196, Oxford-street ; Sanger, 150, Oxford street ; Johnson, 68, Cornhill ; at the Proprietor's Depot (wholesale only), 33, Piccadilly ; and of all respectable whole sale houses. THE WRECK. OF THE ROYAL GEORGE. Colonel Pasley's cylinders, ready charged with powder, we believe four in number, having arrived early in the week, accompanied by several of the corps of Sappers and Miners, it was determined on Thursday to make a trial of their power on the wreck of the Royal George ; but it being found that the southerly wind threw in too much swell, the attempt was given up ; and Friday being a remarkably tranquil day it was thought nothing would prevent the uninterrupted success of the experiment. Accordingly at slack water, about half-past one, the cylinder was lowered, and, by the report of the diver, was placed outside and close to the wreck, in about 84 feet water ; the voltaic battery was then applied to the conducting wires, and though there was every evidence that it was in the most effective orkter, still no discharge took place, it being presumed that in moving such a ponderous body, weighing nearly .5,0001b5. some disconnection of the wires may have happened. It may be that the smaller or igniting magazine may have got wetted by the powerful pressure of water, calculated to be equal, at the depth to which the magazine is sunk, to 60lbs. upon every square inch. The real cause cannot, however, be ascertained, as the hawser, by which it was lowered, was carried away in endeavouring to raise it again, it being evidently en tangled in some of the timbers of the wreck, though the diver had asserted it, was placed outside and clear of all. No further attempts will be made to explode the cylin der till-the dead. of l the mat neap ttides,,when,a. longer interval of slack water is afforded; but in the meantime the divers will make an attempt to sling the cylinder again, and ascertain if it can be hauled out from its pre sent situation and then hoisted up. Colonel Pasley is quite of opinion that the large bulk of powder is so sufficiently secured that it is uninjured ; and grounds his belief on the fact that in the Thames a large body of powder, not half so well protected, remained sixty feet under water for forty-eight hours uninjured ; there are others, however, who surmise that the protective coat ing of wood and metal which encases the present cylinders is not sufficient to resist the enormous pres sure which a depth of nearly 15 fathoms puts upon it, and the recovery of the cylinder in question can alone determine the question. It is to be understood that at the next neaps, about six days hence, another trial will be made, of which public notice will be given by hoist ing red flags in the Success-hulk, and all the dockyard lumps assisting. On the present occasion, the day being fine, nearly sixty sailing craft were looking on, and about three hundred open beats, to which must be added the Messenger steamer, with the standard flying, having his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge on board, who visited the working lighter, and minutely inquired into every particular. The Pique frigate lent a working party of seamen on the occasion, and the usual hospitality of naval officers was manifested in all the ships, particularly in the Blenheim, where Sir Humphrey and Lady Senhouse and the other officers gave a splendid dejeuner to their friends, including the Bishop of London and family, Earl of Dundonald, the Hon. Mrs. Fleeming, Sir John Hippesley, Miss Bolton (niece to the late Lord Nelson), and a large party of Wiltshire ladies. Since the above was written we understand that Col. Pasley, accompanied by Mr. Sadler, the able and zealous second master attendant of this dockyard, willb has been indefatigably employed in affording his professional as sistance in this undertaking, proceeded this afternoon to Spithead, and, in order to prove the correctness of his system, caused two canisters, each containing 451bs. of powder, to be lowered near the wreck of the Royal George, in fifteen fathoms of water, one of which ‘N a s exploded by the voltaic battery, the other by Beckford's fuse. In the former case the explosion was instanta neous, ia the latter two minutes. Both experiments were perfectly successful ; and, as the operation was precisely that intended to explode the large cylinder, it is clearly shown that the failure of Friday cannot be attributed to any fault in Colonel Pasley's system. The explosions produced no commotion, only a smoothness in the water immediately followed by a black cloud of mud spreading on the surface to the extent of many feet. They were, however, felt on board her Majesty's ship Blenheim.-- Hampshire Telegraph. The publication of the ordinance for the reduc tion of the import duty on colonial sugar has spread the greatest joy in our city. The moment the intelligence got abroad, the harbour assumed quite a festival appearance ; all the vessels hoisted their flags, the tri-coloured banner was unfurled over all the public edifices and moil of the private houses, and a brilliant illumination took place in the evening. —Journal d u Havre. On Saturday mor n ing, the 24th August, between Treport and Cayeux, the French Government steamer, Veloce, went alongside the St. Valery Company's Steam Packet, Castor, Captain Valery Buchan, when the latter had the honour to receive on board their Majesties the King and Queen of the French, Princess Adelaide, Princess Clotilde D'Orleans, Duke of Montpensier, and suite, ac companied by the Minister of Public Works, and assistants, and landed their Majesties at St. Valery sur Somme, where they were received by the authorities of that port, and an immense concourse of the inhabitants, from its en virons, with the greatest enthusiasm. His Majesty, after obtaining every information (having for that purpose ex pressed a desire to visit the port of St. Valery), intimated that from its proximity to the capital, steps should be taken to render it one of the most eligible on the coast of France. Their Majesties admired the elegance and superior accom modation of the Castor. The Castor arrived in the river this morning, having on board Lord William Paget and son, and other distinguished personages. FUNDING EXCHEQUER BILLS, SATURDAY EVENING.—A ludicrous circumstance has attended the winding up of Mr. Spring Rice's conversion scheme, which has left the fact in doubt, upon which considerable wagers were laid, whether it was completed or not. Literally speaking, that was not the case, for at one o'clock yesterday, which was the limitation of time in the notice from the Treasury, about 7,000/. or 8,0001. remained unsubscribed for, and this fragment was taken, it seems, at the instance of some parties, who were desirous of seeing it d sposed of, and gave information to those they imagined would act upon it. According to the letter of the notice, these last subscriptions should have been refused, but they were too happy, at the cashier's office, to see their master safe in port, to stand upon any such niceties. The incident is of little importance except to the betters on the result, and the losers will not fail to contest such a point. It re mains to be seen—and the subject is a very anxious one at the Stock Exchange—how the parties will act who hold the new stock produced by this conversion. A por tion of them have already sold on speculation, and it the rest should prove to be in weak hands, the effect on the market must be extremely serious. Money is very scarce in the Stock-market, and Exchequer-bills, which were only sustained by the demand produced by the conversion, are again beginning to give way.— Times. PORTSMOUTH, Arc. 24 —The Atholl troop-ship, Mr. Bellamy commander, arrived on Monday from Quebec, after a favourable p assage o f 2 3 d ays . At the period of her departure from Quebec, the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada were in a tranquil state. The Atholl has brought home Captain Dawson, 73d regiment; Lieutenant Brickenden, 71st; Assistant-Surgeon Wedderburn, Cold stream Guards; Assistant-Surgeon M•Gregor, 32d ; and Assistant-Surgeon Nicholl, 65th, and invalids of the Gre nadier guards, Royals, 32d, 34th, 65th. 66th, 71st, 73d, and esth (total 5 officers, 16 sergeants, and 189 rank and file), 47 military convicts, 38 women, and 47 children. On the arrival of the Atholl the passengers strongly testified their grateful acknowledgments towards Mr. Bellamy, the com mander, for the kind attention manifested by that gentle man towards the non-commissioned officers and men em barked under his cha rge , f or hi s prov idi ng for the comforts of the women and child ren on b oar d ; in fine, for the good feeling which existed b etween t h e pass engers and crew under his command. The Atholl sailed on Wednesday for Sheerness. The Benbow, 72, Captain Houston Stewart, dropped down to St. Helens on Thursday, and sailed last night for Lisbon and Malta. The Revenge, 78, Capt a i n t h e H o n. W. Waldegrave, arrived at the Cove of Cork on Thursday se'nnight. The Lily is under sailing orders for Plymouth, to re ceive her final orders. She will sail to-morrow ( Sunday.) The Boadicea transport, Lieut. Ward agent, arrived on Tuesday, from Woolwich, with 100 convicts on board, for Bermuda ; she has taken a second 100 from the hulks in this harbour, and will sail in a few days. The ship Mary Ann, for Madras, having taken on board her passengers and stock, sailed yesterday; the ships -Windsor, for Calcutta, and Carnatite, for Madras, will sail to morrow ( Sundily.) The detained slave brig, now in this harbour under Rue. Sian colours, is at last to be given up to the Russian Consul. General. The Admiralty have issued a circular, dated the 14th inst., directing that in future, before any volunteer of the Ist class is rated midshipman, he shall be examined by some captain or commander, and naval instructor of a ship, not his own, who must give him a certificate expressive of his fitness by his attainments in arithmetic, geometry , trigonometry, the use of the quadrant, aptitude in finding the latitude of sun, moon, or stars, and working a day's work. In case his thip is not in company with any other, he is to be so examined the first opportunity after he has been so rated, and which rating will be confirmed or dis allowed according to the result of such examination. The French Government have, through the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty, presented gold medals to the following officers :--Lieutenant Parson, chief officer, St. Alban's Head ; Lieut. G. Smith, Kimmeridge, Lieut. G. Davies, Commander of H.M. cutter Tartar, and silver medals to their respective crews. The Partridge, 10, Lieut. W. Morris, arrived at Ply mouth on Sunday from the coast of Africa. She left Sierra Leone the 26th June, the river Gambia the 10th July, Island Goree 13, and Senegal 19th. Her Majesty's ships Dolphin, Lynx, and Forrester were at Sierra Leone. The Dolphin had captured three slave vessels, two under American colours, one containing a large cargo of mer chandise and 1,050 doubloons—she is nominally American, and was employed to carry slaves and provisions to the different slave depots along the coast. The third is under Spanish colours, and was engaged in the same traffic. The Partridge has been employed the last seven months in protecting the British gum trade at Portendic, and in con veying the Governor of Gambia and suite up to M'Carthy's Island, situated about 300 miles up the river Gambia. During the stay of the Partridge at M'Carthy's Island the thermometer rose to 110 degrees, but we are happy to say she has not lost a single man. She has brought home invalids from the squadron at Sierra Leone ; also three mutineers from the Duchess of Kent merchantman. NAvat. ArPOlNTMENTS.—Lieutenant W. Clarke to the Edinburgh.

O n M on d ay an i nque st was held on the body, and a verdict of " Found Drowned" returned,..—Sherborne Journal. The SPEAKER, accompanied by several Members, basing presented himself at the Bar, the Commission was read and the Royal assent given, in the usual form, to the following Bills :—The Better Administration of Justice (parts of Counties) Bill ; the Poor-law Com mission Continuance Bill ; the Collection of Rates Bill ; the Bastardy Bill ; the Bankruptcy (Ireland) Bill ; the Manchester Police Bill ; the Birmingham Police Bill ; and the London Bridge Approaches Bill. The SPEAKER and the Members of the House of Commons then retired, and the House adjourned during pleasure. At Half-past Four o'Clock the LORD CHANCELLOR resumed his seat on the Woolsack. Mr. BERNAL, from the Commons, brought up the Bolton Police Bill, and the County and District Con stables Bill, with the Lords' amendments agreed to. FOREIGN RELATIONS. _.. Viscount Silt - A — N — G - i'6l - InTin - id one or two ques- tions to put to the Noble Viscount opposite upon very important subjects. He was desirous of knowing whether any proper and effectual steps had been taken in concert with the American Government, to prevent the recurrence during the ensuing winter, along the Canadian frontier, of that frightful system of aggression on the one hand, and scarcely-avoidable retaliation on the other, bet ause if tlatt system was pursued it was likely to lead to the most fatal results, so far as regarded the good understanding and harmony of the two countries. That morning he had received a depu tation of merchants connected with the North Ame rican trade, who stated that some time ago a memorial had been presented on the subject to her Majesty's Go vernment, and they had requested him to recall to the Noble Viscount's recollection the prediction which had been embodied in that memorial. The other question to which he wished to call the Noble Viscount's at tention was, whether there was any reasonable hope or prospect of a termination of those hostilities which had been so long protracted between France and the Republic of Buenos Ayres. These hostilities had lately assumed a very aggravated form, and not long ago they had received information of the destruction of an entire fleet of small vessels laden with British property, which had been literally burnt to the water's edge by order of the French authorities. Really, when he looked at these things, whether occurring in South ♦merica or Africa, he felt bound to say, that the time was come when it would be necessary for that country to address some remonstrance to the French Government. It would be only necessary for him to say two words—" Coer don" and " Canada." It was unnecessary for him to give any notice for the next Session ; but it was his in tention at the earliest stage of their meeting there again, to advert to the indignities and injuries which their fel low-subjects had endured on the coast of Africa, at the hands of certain local authorities there. He looked upon these things as a deep stain upon the national honour, and if by that time the Representatives of the British Government had not obtained redress, it #rould be probably for their Lordships to consider how far it would be prudent in them to present an humble Ad dress to the Throne, imploring her Majesty's protection for her faithful subjects. Lord MELBOURNE said he was happy to be able to inform the Noble Lord that every disposition pre vailed, both in the United States, South America, and Canada, to prevent a continuance of those proceedings which had unfortunately taken place for the last two years there. With respect to the second ques tion, the blockade of the River Plate, he was aware there had been no cessation of the conduct that had been pursued in that part of the globe, but he had the satisfaction of assuring the Noble Lord that the Government of France were most anxious to bring those proceedings to a close, and he was in confident hope that ere long that would be so. As to the third question—the proceedings on the Western Coast of Africa, be bad already expressed his opinion upon that, and he trusted measures would soon be taken to bring things to a satisfactory state. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition agreed to by the General Assembly of Scotland, and signed by the Moderator, against the national system of education. BANK OF IRELAND ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. Upon the , motion of Lord MELBOURNE, the Bank of Ireland Act Continuance Bill was read a second time, committed, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. OYSTERS FISHERIES BILL. Lord MELBOURNE moved the order of the day for the second reading of the Oysters Fisheries (Eng land and France) Bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON had read the Bill, and did not object to it, but he must say it was not fair to the public to have Bills of any description hurried through Parliament in the manner now proposed. Lord MELBOURNE said that that would certainly be true if the Bills required any consideration, but this one did not—it was merely to settle the distances be tween the two countries, and to fix the regulations of the fisheries. The Duke of WELLINGTON said the Bill might as well have been before the House at an earlier period. Lord BROUGHAM said he perfectly agreed with the Noble Duke that this was not the way to do busi ness ; and he had been telling his Noble Friend, the Noble Viscount so, sometime past.—(Laughter.) It was no reason to say that the Noble Duke had read the Act and the Treaty, seeing that the Noble Dukes at tendance was most unparalleled for punctuality and perseverance. The Noble Duke never missed being in the House at the sitting of it, he never went until it was up, and looked to all the business, and attended to every Bill. Certainly no other Noble Lord had read the documents.—(Hear, and a laugh.) The Duke of WELLINGTON-:—There is but one copy in the House. Lord MELBOURNE said there must be an excep- tion made in those cases which occur suddenly—the events which happen in human affairs, war or peace— they will not wait for the close of our sessions or the convenience of our recesses.—(Hear.) Lord BROUGHAM (ironically)—Oh, certainly not. The Bill was then read a second time. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESI3URY, the Exchequer Bills Bill, and the Funding of Exchequer Bills Bill, were read a second time ; and the Duke of Marlborough's Pension Bill, and the Appropriation Bill were read a third time and passed. BOLTON POLICE BILL. On the question that their Lordships do agree to the Commons' amendments to this Bill, The Duke of WELLINGTON observed that the Commons had introduced certain amendments (the last time the Bill came before them) which bad no re- ference to those which their Lordships had previously made. However, he did not object to the Bill passing. Lord MELBOURNE admitted that the course which the Commons bad taken was a little irregular ; but all parties agreed as to the necessity for the Bill. The amendments were then agreed to. Earl St. VINCENT said some considerable time since he moved for certain returns respecting Foreign Sugar imported into this country ; that re turn had not yet been made ; he, therefore, moved that it be made forthwith. • Seeing the Noble Marquis the Secretary for the Colonies in his place he would take the opportunity of saying that the remarks he made a few nights back, Ivhen he stated that property in the West Indies had lately risen 20 per cent., did not apply to the Island of Jamaica. In that island the case was in an inverse ratio. The Noble Marquis must have been much misinformed on the subject, probably from interested parties, unless the Noble Marquis spoke from official information. The Marquis of NORMANBY said that it was from official documents that he had made the statement. GRAND JURY CESS (IRELAND). Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the inhabitants of the city of Cork complaining of the late period of the Session in which the Grand Jury Cess (Ireland) Bill was brought in, and of the m anner in which it had been hurried through their Lordships' House, so that the petitioners had not bad an oppor tunity of pointing out the great injustice and the inequality of taxation which the Bill would inflict on them. POST HORSE DUTY. The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD also presented a petition from the Postmasters of Liverpool, praying tor the total repeal of the duties on Post Horses. He (Lord Brougham) thought that protection ought to be given to the Postmasters by taking off the whole duty. If the Legislature did not take it off it would very soon take itself off, for nobody would post. Also a petition from the advocates of Montreal in Lower Canada, complaining that certain of their number had been arrestedwithout warrant and thrown into gaol without authority, and praying their Lordships to afford them relief ; and he (Lord B.) would take that opportunity of stating that, in his opinion, the earlier next Session their Lordships' attention should be called to Canadian affairs the better. Also a petition from the Board of Guardians of the Kensington Union, denying certain statements made in a petition which had, or a former occasion bee n pre sen t e d to their Lordships, the statements in which were designated by them as false and scandalous, and having investigated the sub ject he felt bound to state that the contradiction to Lord BROUGHAM moved fur a copy of the charter of the University of London and the rules and degreesconferred by th a t University. He could not move for thesereturns without calling the attention of the House to the state in which education was at present placed in this country. He trusted that with regard to that most important subject there could be no discussion— upon which all were agreed, they would do their duty in such a manner as would redoundito the honour of Par liament, the credit of the country, and the peace and satis faction of their own minds, and they would be enabled to look back with satisfaction to the result of their labours. The Noble and Learned Lord then adverted to the great debate which had taken place on the Government plan of education — a debate which had engaged all the talent and experience of their Lordships— a debate which had excited the most heart felt interest in the country—a debate which had called to their Lordships' bar, in breathless atten tion and extraordinary numbers, the Commons of Eng land, with others of their countrymen, to witness the mo mentous struggle—a debate, of whi c h t h e resu l t was an- ticipated throughout the empire, with an anxiety hardly paralleled—certainly never surpassed. One inference which he drew from this debate was that their Lord ships could no longer remain neutral on the subject,— that they could no longer withdraw from the position which their station and character in the Legislature of their country entitled and called upon them to assume with regard to education—had he been told thirty years ago that such a debate would have been heard— a debate upon a subject f ~,wAttc: is at that distance of time was too generally ckoisiaered scarcely worth") , to yawn away any time uppn. Had he been told that their Lordships' attention would so earnestly be di rected to it he should have considered it one of the wildest delusions that a disordered fancy could suggest. To this subject his attention had for many years been urgently directed, and seeing that in the contest for place and power the two great parties in Parliament had neglected it, he had endeavoured to frame a gene ral measure upon it. To that measure their Lord ships had this Session declined assenting ; and that he had not declared his intention to persist in it, that he had intimated his intention to withdraw it, was not owing to any doubt either upon the principle or the details of that Bill, as to which his con victions were as strong as ever. His doubts arose upon another point, and from a totally different quarter ; he felt that his bringing forward that Bill annually would have the effect of procuring for him ex clusive possession of the subject ; that it would prevent others from bringing it forward, others who might perhaps have more ability, more - power for the carrying of the great object than he had. And it was because he desired that the question should be taken up by those who had more weight and influence in Parliament —therefore it was that he had come to the resolution not to abandon this subject—God forbid. While he existed it was not possible for him to do so— it was interwoven with his heart—it was entwined in his very nature, he could not—nay, more, he durst net if he could. But my Lord, (said the Noble and Learned Lord), I abandon it in a qualified sense of the term. I withdraw to let others more powerful take it up. I give it over to my Noble Friend at the head of the Government, and let him apply his iforous and manly understanding ; let him, with all the resources at his command, as the head of the Executive Government—let him, with all the assistance he has from the supporters of that Government in this House—let him take it up according to those principles, unchanged, if he so pleases, or according to any other and better principles, it he prefers others, en reflection— (and no man would be more ready to give up his opinion to him than I shall—let him on those principles change or modify it—let him take this question in hand—let him prepare a measure, propound it on right principles, and call on Parliament to support it as far as it merits deserve support. My Lords, it is needless to say with Vi:hat cordial feeling I shaH greet his entering upon this course, and to what an extent my ancient attachment for it will root it in my bosom, and I shall hail his taking that part which not only his duty prescribes to him, but which his interest as a Minister ought to induce him to take, as the certainty, if not of a great measure being carried, at least of his encircling his Go vernment with a glory that will never fade. Therefore the ground between them was plain and easy, and he left the Bill in his hands from this day, and most anxi ous was he that the subject should be taken up and brought to a satisfactory conclusion by his Noble Friend. He had stated one conclusion he had drawn from the debate, he would now state another that was not so en- tirely satisfactory. A majority of their Lordships, on the motion of a Most Reverend Prelate, had come to a reso lution condemnatory of the plan of his Noble Friend. He need not say what were the feelings of oue who had always taken an interest in that subject on that occasion ; but he would state what he considered to be his duty. His duty was not to suffer himself to be misled by any feel ings of self-delusion, but as they had suffered defeat to inquire into the grounds of that defeat, to examine into its causes in order that on a future occasion they might profit by the experience of the past, and avoid a like disaster. The conclusion to which he had come on a mature consideration of all the circumstances as to the cause of their discomfiture was, that any plan of universal national education in England would be utterly impracticable if the Church of England should be excluded from its management.—(Hear.) His original opinion was, that a preference should be given to the Established Church ; that was not an opinion which he had gathered from the debate of the other night, that was the principle on which he had grounded his Education Bill of 1819 ; and because he had recognised the Established Church, the Dissenters had met him in consultation, the whole subject was dis cussed, and in that discussion only one convert was obtained, but it was a worthy one, for it was no other than the Rev. Dr. Lindsay. He said he would have h;s children educated, even if itmust be done by the Pope of Rome himself. These were among the last words spoken by him, for he died suddenly next day. He said he thought Popery was wrong—he said Episcopac y was error—he thought he was right, but if ha were afraid to allow his children to be taught by them, he would confess that he was so. The Church had done much for education, but she followed in the footsteps of the Dissenters who had done .more. Both pro fess:2d a great love and veneration for education— but humiliating and humbling as was the confession, it must be allowed that they both loved victory more. It would do much mischief such a feeling, unless their Lordships interposed. He should never advocate any system that did not throw open the doors to all sects and parties. He felt it his duty to offer these few remarks to their Lordships. He hoped his Noble Friend (Vis count Melbourne) would take an early opportunity in the ensuing Session, of bringing forward a measure on the subject. He (Lord Brougham) would take his share, as a humble follower of the Noble Viscount, in the triumph which he would then have achieved. After apologising for trespassing on their Lordships' time, the Noble and Learned Lord concluded by moving for the papers to which he alluded at the commencement of his address. The returns were then agreed to. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER said a few words quite inaudibly, and their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, AUGUST 26. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a Quarter after Three o'Clock. Mr. Campbell presented Papers from the India House Sir R. I SIG LIS presented a petition from the Com mission of the General Assembly of the Church of Scot land against the Government plan of national education. Also from four parishes in England with the same prayer. Mr. 0 SW A LD presented a petition to the same effect. Mr. M. PHILLIPS gave notice that early' next Session he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to permit and regulate the grinding of foreign corn in bond for exportation. Mr. WAKLEY said he had a deferred motion for to-day respecting the case of Thomas, who had been impisoned since December last. The Noble Lord the Secretary for the Home Department had a greed to refer the case to the Attorney-General , which was a course which would give satisfaction to every one. He had, therefore, no motion to make on that subject. H e then moved for an Account of all Sums of Money di rected to be paid by order of the Central Crimi na l Court on the prosecution o f Francis Hastings Med hurst, convicted of Mandaughter ; distinguishing th e payments made in compliance with the certificatesalso, an the local Magistrates from the al l owances that w ere granted by the Court , in respect of the trial ; Account of all Sums of Money paid by order of the General Court of Quarter Sessions, Middlesex, for ex penses incurred b y the Coroner in holding the in quest on the body of Jose p h Also p , at Haves, on the. 16th and 18th of March, 1839. COUNTY AND DISTRICT CONSTABLES BILL. The Lords amendments to the County and Distriei Constables Bill were agreed to. BOLTON POLICE BILL. The Lords' amendments to this Bill were also a greed to. NEW WRIT FOR CAMBRIDGE. Mr. E. J. STANLEY moved that the Speaker do issue a writ for the election of a Member for the borough of Cambridge, in the room of the Right Hon. Thomas Spring Rice„ who had accepted the office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. D'ISR..DELI thought the House ought to ha% e - Mr. STANLEY said he was not yet in the Cabinet —(Laughter)—and was therefore afraid he could not give the explanation required ; but he was sure the con stitutional feelings of the Hon. Member would not per mit him to stand between the electors of Cambridge and their Representative.—(Hea r , hear.) The new writ was then ordered to be issued. Mr. STANLEY also moved a new writ for the city of Waterford, in the room of T. Wyse, Esq., who had accepted the office of one of the Commis sioners to execute the office of Lord High Treasurer. Mr. D'ISRAELI said that perhaps the Right Hon. Gentleman, the President of the Board of Con trol for India, would favour the House with a state ment of the principles on which the new Cabinet was to be constructed. Members could scarcely meet their constituents without havinc , it in their power to impart to them a knowledge of the policy that was to be pur sued by the new Cabinet, three new writs had been lately moved (and no doubt a great many more would be moved) without any statement whatever being made to the House. Sir JOHN C. HOB HOUSE was not aviare of the intention of Hon. Members generally to meet their constituents, nor was he the least aware of what private arrangements the Hon. Gentleman himself might have made for meeting the electors of Maidstone. So far as he knew the Government had no intention of remodelling the Cabinet, or of changing that course of policy which they had hitherto pursued. The motion was then agreed to. WEST INDIA MAILS. .WARBL/ RTON said-that,-considering all cir cumstances, there was then a tolerably full House, and as that was the last opportunity he would have this Session of addressing the House, he would take that opportunity of calling the attention of Hon. Members to the subject of the contracts into which the Admi ralty had entered relative to steam navigation. In the observations he bad ventured to address to the House the other night he had stated that the Government were entitled to thanks for placing the mail bags on board of steam-vessels instead of sailing vessels. The Govern ment did not seem to have exercised that wise discre tion and that sound consideration which they ought to have exerted on this occasion. There was this point -worthy of consideration, that the moment you establish steam-packets between England and America, the West Indies, Brazil, &c., all passengers to those quarters would sail by those vessels, and thus a monopoly of carriage to those countries would be set up most ad vantageous to the parties having the benefit of this contract. No person now knew whether 100,0001. would be lost or gained by the arrangement. Many personsacquainted with the subject believed that the con tractors would realise by it 100,0004; one ofthem had cer tainly been offered 25,000/.0r30,000/. for the share which he held in thel Company. The contract ought most assuredly to have been made the subject of public com petition. Improvements in steam navigation were be ing daily introduced, and there should have been more attention paid to that. The conditions of the contract ought to have been submitted to Parliament before they were finally sanctioned. The power of steam had been increased from 20,000,000 to 80,000,000, as four to one, within the last few years. He did hope that the Government bad not even now fully concluded the ar rangement, and that next Session they would give that House the power of expressing their opinion upon it. He could assure the Admiralty that parties connected with steam navigation viewed the contract with great jealousy. Just to afford ground for a discussion, he would move that the House do adjourn. After a pause of some minutes, Mr. B. SMITH rose and said, as the Hon. Secre- tary for the Admiralty did not seem disposed to address the House, he would make a remark or two. He wished to direct their attention to the improvements in steam navigation, which he could assure them were daily increasing in number and importance, and the fa cility for which was very great. One great point was, that the size of the vessels might be much more in creased, than in the ordinary kind : a large steam ship was as manageable as a small one, while the power was considerably enhanced. Whereas these steam ships were, he understood, to be only half the size of the Great Western—(Hear, hear.) He feared that these were considerations which the Admiralty had not suf ficiently borne in mind.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. C. WOOD said the reason why he had delayed rising was the consciousness that he had already ad- ' dressed the House on the subject twice, and he now felt that he would do no more than repeat what be had again and again stated before. He liticw that where public competition had been resorted to on a former occasion, no such favourable offer bad been made as that which the Admiralty bad accepted. It should be borne in mind that in cases where the enterprise was, as in the present case, highly difficult, compe tition would operate much less than in ordinary cases. He thought, therefore, without assigning too great authority to the Admiralty, their experience might be 111 permitted to set aside the theories of the Hon. Gentle man. He had never asserted that no improvement had taken place in steam navigation within the last ten years, but what he had stated was, that no such im provements had taken place within that time, as would authorize the expectation of any great reduction taking place in the expense of navigating steam-vessels within the next ten years. The contractors were also bound, on the requisition of the Government, to give the advantage of every improvement that might take place in steam navigation, and taking all these circum stances into consideration, he did not think it would be worth the while of the contractors to make an outlay of capital for a less period than ten years. Mr. HAWES would observe, in reference to the re marks of the Hon. Gentleman as to the improvements likely to be effected in steam navigation, that the Great Western Steam Company were now engaged in building an iron steam-boat for transatlantic navigation, by which from 400 to 500 tons of stowage would be saved, and be devoted to cargo instead of to the stowage of fuel, and thus a great saving would be effected. Captain BOLDER() considered the Government had made a most advantageous contract, and that great credit was due to them as well as to the contractors. Mr. W ARBURTON wished to know whether in the contract made with the Company, any provision had been made as to the charges that were to be made by them for carrying passengers across the Atlantic. Mr. C. WOOD said that Government had not entered into any contract upon that point. Mr. WARBURTON thought that such being the case, a due regard had not been paid to the interests of the public, because the Company would have the power of charging what they pleased. He hoped that when Parliament met again the subject would be properly considered. Admiral ADAM rose to address the House, but was interrupted by the entrance of the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, who summoned the House to the House of Peers to hear the Royal Assent given to several public and private Bills (for which see our Lords' Report). On the return of the SPEAKER he informed the House of the different Bills that had received the Royal Assent, and the House then adjourned at a Quarter past Four o'Clock till to-morrow.

JUST OUT, th e EMPEROR . of CHINA'S SAUCE, the finest in the world, publicly introduced to the English in 1839. This Sauce was originally prepared by an emine n t E ngl i sh Physician, residin, in India, where it sig nalised itself in an extraordinary manner for its richness, fulness, piquancy, a n d strong digestive properties. In India it main tainod a celebrity previously unknown among sauces, and was there considered indispensably requisite, with every kind of fish, meat, game, made dishes, or curries. As a stimulant to the ap petite it is unequalled, possessing a smartness not met with in any other condiment, and is strongly recommended by the Fa culty, for its purity and fine tonic property. These arc original and rare qualities comb:tied ; consequently, bon vivants, the Clubs at the west-end, and all persons of good taste, pronounce the Emperor of China's Sauce to be the finest in the world.
