Little business was done in the House of Lords last evening. In answer to a question from Lord MugTo, relative to parochial schools in Scotland, the Earl of lIADDING TON said the attention of the Government had been turned to the subject, and next session some measure would he introduced to grant better remuneration to schoolmasters in Scotland. The Bill introduced by the Bishop of EXETER, for the suppression of immoral houses, was read a second time. The brief conversation which took place on the occasion will be found very edifying, though not quite to the liking of the Dean and Chapter of West minster. The House adjourned at Half-past Seven. In the Commons, leave was given to bring in a Bill to make a railway between Dublin and Cashel. After the presentation of several petitions, Mr. T. Du/wimps presented petitions from W. J. LINTON, IVtu.tax Lovarr, JOSEPH AIAZZINI, and others, complaining of the detention and opening of their lettera it the Post-office, and praying for redress. The conduct of Mr. DuNcomnE, on this occasion, deserves every praise. We have adverted to the subject in a separate article. The House went into Committee on the Sugar Dutk Bill, when Mr. MILES, the Member for Bristol, moved the following amendment, on the first clause being proposed That from and after the 10th day of November, 1844, the duty Upon sugar, the produce of British possessions, be reduced to 20s. the hundred weight ; and that the duties on sugar, certifled to be the growth of China, Java, or Manilla, or of any foreign country, the sugar of which her MAJESTY in Council shall have declared to be admissi ble, as not being the produce of slave labour, shall be as follows—namely, brown, Muscovado, or clayed, the cwt. 30s. white clayed, or sugar otherwise pre pared, and equivalent to white clayed sugar, the cwt., 345., with five per cent. thereon." Mr. BAILEY seconded the amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the amendment, and contended that, taking every cir cumstance into account, the measure proposed by the Government was not adverse to the interest of the Colonies. Mr.LAnoucnEa E condemned, in several respects, the Government measure. It was ostensibly founded on the principle of excluding slave-grown sugar, which was impossible, while they offended their best customers merely to keep up a hypocritical pretence. Other Members addressed the Committee, when the House divided, and Mr. P. illinEs' amendment was carried by a majority of 20; the numbers being 241 for it, and 221 against it. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock. The discussion upon Mr. MlLEs's announced amendment upon the new scheme of Sugar Duties, brought forward by her MAJESTY'S Government, has been looked to with great anxiety by all parties—in and out of Parliament. It took place, accordingly, in a full House (of 466 Members) last night, and resulted in what must be considered a great defeat of ➢Ministers. But it should be clearly understood (and the more so, as most of our Morning Contemporaries seem to have fallen into some error on this point), that the division of last night did not affirm Mr. Mlnzs's amend ment. Upon that, a vote remains still to be taken ; for, as Lord HOWICK carefully expounded the question for• the information of Hon. Members, the question to be put by the Chairman (and so entered in the printed " Votes" delivered out this morning) was, " that the words proposed" (by the amendment of Mr. MILES) " to be left out of the first clause" (of the Government Bill) "stand part of the clause." On this question there divided, Ayes, 221 ; Noes, 241, leaving the Government in a minority of 20. After the an nouncement of this division (which was greeted by the Opposition with much cheering), and when the House had resumed, Sir ROBERT PEEL gave notice that the first business of the House on Monday next should be to proceed further with the Committee, in which he would announce the intentions of her MAJESTY'S Government on this most important subject. The Government proposition, it will be remembered, was to reduce the duty on foreign sugar, not being the product of slave labour, to 345. per cwt. (The duty under 1 and 2 Victoria, cap. 33, was 3/. 38. per cwt.) The machinery of certificates, by which the Chancellor of the Exchequer appeared to imagine tha t it would be possible to secure the fulfilment of thi s condition of free labour, which was made the prelimi. nary of the admission of such foreign sugar, was much distrusted and even ridiculed in former debates. We have endeavoured to • silo*, in former articles, that any sugars supplied under is reduction of duty by the United States, everosestuning the genuine ness of their free labours' - p. would be assuredly replaced either in the home consump tion or the export trade of America by • slave grown sugar to the same extent. It will be per ceived that this impression is now generally enter tained. But Mr. MILES'S amendment prooceds not so much on the principle of effectually discouraging slave labour in the production of sugar (an object which he also is apparently very doubtful of seeing accomplished, for the same reasons as we have just assigned), as on the principle that the alteration of the duty on foreign produce to 345, renders it indis _ _ _ Pensahrftw — tho -protection, • nay; 11 - of our West India' interest; to "reduce' the duties on Bri tish West India sugar to 20s. per cwt. The other modifications of duty which this gentleman proposes may be collected from the terms of his amendment : " That from and after the 10th day of November, 1844, the duty upon sugar, the produce of British possessions, be re duced to 20s. the cwt. ; and that the duties on sugar, certified to be the growth of China, Java, or Manila, or of any foreign country, the sugar of which her Majesty in Council shall have declared to be admissible, as not being the produce of slave labour, shall be as .follows—namely, brown, muscovado, or clayed, the cwt., 305.; white clayed, or sugar Otherwise pre pared, and equivalent to:white clayed sugar, the cwt., 345., with 5 per cent. thereon." The debate was very ably sustained ; but we really think that Mr. MILES'S supporters had the best of it in every way. The benefit of hiS amendment would be by no means inconsiderable to the consumer, and is sufficiently low, as to its scale of protection to the West India body, to have elicited much grumbling from some of its members in the House, as they carefully qualified, with 'this unsavoury element, their supp9,rt.! " The Hon. Gentleman himself de livered a very animated address, commencing it by reminiscences of the Premier's past, promises to his party, and subsequent acts, which we can imagine to have been anything but palatable to Sir ROBERT— whose temper, by the bye, is represented to have be come acclimatised to the West Indian weather of last night—after the announcement of the numbers. Mr. MILES complained with good reason, that upon the only feasible means of rescuing our plantations from absolute ruin for want of hands, namely, the immigration of free labourers, large and abundant professions of their readiness to permit and promote it had been made by Government; but nothing, or almost nothing, carried into effect. On this subject we have written so often and so earnestly in The Sun, that we merely quote this confirmation of our opinions, reserv ing other comments which we have to offer on the un fairness, if not impolicy, of the boon of a reduced duty to the production of Java to a future opportunity. But we think we may congratulate the British con sumer on the certain prospect of his ere long obtain ing sugars of all qualities at a considerale reduction on their present cost to him. In the Commons last night Mr. T. DUNCOMBE brought forward a subject of vast importance to the community. In some foreign States it has been the practice to open letters at the Post-office, to pry into the secrets of private life, and to obtain information by stealth, which may, for some State purpose, or, some selfish private purpose, be used against indi viduals ; but in this country, till under the rule of Sir JAMES GRAHAM as Home Secretary, such a breach of confidence, except in the worst times, never was contemplated. When a man puts a letter into the post-office here, he confidently believes he puts it into a secure place ; he believes the communi cations he makes to his family and friends will not be read either by Postmaster-General, or penny post man, or Secretary of State, and that no human being will venture to break a seal which has hitherto, in this free country, been regarded as sacred as the door of his private residence—denominated by the law of the land, his castle. But it appears Englishmen are subject to as tyrannical proceedings as the most barbarous serfs of Russia. No letter put into the Post-office is safe. It is opened and read by the authorities ; if they think proper, it is detained, and perhaps destroyed, at the will and pleasure of an informer, or to gratify the malignant and jealous spirit of some man in office. The fact was last night openly admitted by the Secretary of State for the Home Department. He admitted that he had issued a warrant for opening and detaining a letter, but that warrant had since been withdrawn—in other words, he had opened a letter without just grounds, and had been compelled to withdraw the warrant, because he had acted improperly. On being further questioned, he refused to give any explanation. He called the SPEAKER to his aid, who possibly acted in accordance with the rules of the House, and would have quashed the discussion but for the ready vigour and free spirit displayed by the Member for Finsbury, Mr. Des COMM, who on a subject so interesting to free men, was not to be put down by the decision of the SPEAKER, or the stern, dry rules of the House. When the SPEAKER had decided against any further discussion, as the motion was not a matter of urgent necessity, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE claimed his right to address the House, and made a motion which entitled him to THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1844. speak, and Sir JASits GRAHAM, Mr. P. SHAW, and Arr. SrEAKER, too, were all obliged to listen to him in solemn silence, while he was vociferously cheered by those Members who stood up for the liberty of the subject. Never did any Minister of the Crown come out of a scrape with so little credit. The Home Secretary is the greatest enemy of Sir ROBERT PEEL. He has dispersed, by main force, public meetings peaceably assembled to discuss the griev• antes of the people, and he now imitates the policy of foreign despots, by opening private letters confided to the Post-office. These are the acts of a Conserva tive Government. This outrage upon public liberty, however, cannot rest here. Sir JAMES GRAHAM must undergo some further interrogations, and if we mis take not, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE will compel him to make a full•confession. An exceedingly edifying discussion took place in the house of Lords last night, on the subject of the Bishop of EXETER'S Bill for the suppression of bro thels, when Lord CAMPBELL, with a delicate and vir tuous consideration for the morals of the community, and of the reporters in particular, suggested that the discussion ,should be taken with closed doors, so that none should be made acquainted with the awful facts detailed by the ghostly Prelate—whose speech, to do him justice, exhibited an infinite variety of research, and proved t' at he was thoroughly master of his subject —but their Lordships and the Bench of Bishops, to whose apostolical purity and simplicity of nature the heinous disclosures made by their episcopal bro ther would of course be unintelligible. Lord CAMPBELL'S suggestion, however; was not adopted by the House, and, to say the truth, we are by no means sorry for it, for if the discussion had been carried on with closed doors, the " pensive public" would have lost one of the richest bits of cant that was ever indulged in, even by the Bishop of LONDON. In reply to some forcible remarks: made •by Lord BROUGHAM respecting the exclusion of BYRON'O statue from Westminster Abbey, the Right Rev. Prelate observed :—" All the objec tions which had been urged against the eloquent his torian of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, might be urged with equal justice and with equal force against the works of the great poet whose name had just ben mentioned. Almost every one of his poems contained inuendos, descriptions, and assertions which, on the ground of morals as well as of religion, disqualified the writer from any right to claim admission after his death into a sanc tuary consecrated to the worship of CHRIST." Lord BYRON has certainly put forth many careless random opinions in his works, and he was notquite so orthodox a Churchman as the Dean and Chapter of Westminster could perhaps wish; but to compare him with GIBBON in this respect, is to do his memory the cruellest in justice. The historian of Rome, gravely and deli berately, by argument and by sarcasm, and ingenious twisting of the truth, endeavoured to sap the founda tion of Christianity ; he brought learning, method, and a deep-rooted spirit of infidelity to his task ; and with.solemn pompousness in his text, and epigram matic point in his notes, laboured to show that the earlier Christians were by no means what the world supposed them to have been. Far otherwise was it with poor BYRON. He had no cold, settled, inveterate hatred to Christianity. He did not diligently bring all the powers of his great, but ill-regulated, mind to bear against it. Deism was not a faith—a ruling principle of action with him. We could quote upwards of a hundred passages from his works informed with the truest and most fervent religious feeling ; and know not where to look for a purer— more sacred—more inspiring body of sentiment, than lit() be found in his Evening Address to the Virgin in " Don Juan." But Lord BYRON, says the Bishop, was immoral Well, and was not PRIOR immoral— grossly so?. Was not CONGREVE the most immoral dramatist of his age--so flagrant in his immorality that it is scarcely possible to represent his playson the stage, or recommend them for perusal in the boudoir ? Was not DRYDEN—" glorious JOHN," as he was called—immoral in many of his poems—immoral in his exquisitely sycophantic and lying dedications— still more immoral in his reckless change—from a sheer desire to advance his worldly interests—from Protestantism to Popery ? Yet all these great men have statues in Weatmingt9rAb4eyt.,4esPitillieir-4 , strd, - now, - ' in the hineteenth century—a century which boasts of its perfect free dom from intolerance—it is gravely insisted, in the highest Court of Judicature in the kingdom, that Loaf ByßoN's statue has no right to be introduced into a sanc tuary where CONGREVE, and PRIOR, and DRYDEN are' deemed quite moral and virtuous enough to be repre sented in effigy ! Shame on this sickening cant, which is alike unworthy of the age in which it is uttered, and of the episcopal dignitary who uttered it! BYRON immoral ! Impossible ! Had he been so, surely the late respectable publisher of that High Church and State periodical, the Quarterly Review— the patronised of LordS and Bishops—would never have dreamed of republishing " Don Juan" with all the passages, which were once thought objectionable and expunged as such, diligently restored to the text! If there be one fact more discreditable than another to the much vaunted spirit of the age, it is the studied exclusion from Westminster Abbey of the statue of the most genuine poet that the world has known since the days of SHAKSPEARE. We learn, from Madrid Journals of the 7th, that MUNOZ., the,llllolind of the QUEEN MOTHER, has been made a Grandee of Spain. The fact is an nounced iri these words in the papers :—" By a royal decree communicated to the chiefs of the Palace, her Majesty Queen Donna ISABELLA 11. has been pleased to raise Don FERNANDO MUNOZ, now residing at Paris, to the rank of Grandee of Spain, with the title of Duke de RIANZARES." NARYAEZ, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs were daily expected at Madrid, when it was generally believed some new coup d etat would be announced. Among the reports that prevailed, it was affirmed that the Cortes would be immediately dissolved ; and that steps were in progress to make important changes in the consti- , tuencies. It was said, also, that the new 'Finance Minister intends to make a rigid inquiry into the financial operations of the late Cabinet, and that, owing to some suspected malversations, BRAN() and CARRASCO had been ordered to remain at Madrid. The funds still continued greatly depressed. On the 7th, the Three per Cents. were done at 27 !Or cash, and 27 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 204 at 60 days. • Most of the Paris journals again advert to the commencement of hostilities in Morocco, but without adding any fresh intelligence, and if we except one journal, without any bitterness against, the Govern 'ment or this country. The National is the exception, but its unmeaning hostility to England, its unwar rantable imputations against the good faith of this country, and its rabid articles, intended only to stir up war between two great nations, are so well known," that any opinion expressed by that journal, on a question which involves the national interests . of England and France, is entitled to very little weight. Nothing short of the entire conquest of Morocco will satisfy that organ of the Republicans. "The blow," it says, " should be given at once with all our might and main. A decided victory is the only negotiation possible, for the Koran itself pre scribes submission to superior force. We are able to assail Morocco with our troops—to take possession of her coast by means of our ships. Bold, rapid, and well-combined movements would enable us in a very short time to carry our arms into the very heart of the empire, and, by reducing its chief to a state of impotence, we . should in a very short time obtain a decisive influence over the whole of the tribes of Algeria. A conquest of Morocco would be a death blow to that holy war, which is incessantly raised against us." In the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, a lengthened discussion took place on the Orleans and Bordeaux Railroad. The arguments turned chiefly on one point, whether the new lines should be con structed by the Government, or left to companies, M. DE Boaz' moved that the lines should be executed by the State. The motion was opposed by the Minister of Finance, chiefly on the ground that the surplus revenue which had existed for several years had all been absorbed, and that it would be a hazardous experiment, under present circumstances, to borrow money to the amount that would be re quired. " Some years back, in 1838, he had sup ported the system now proposed by the Hon• Deputy's amendment—of having the railroads exe cuted by the State exclusively. His motive for so doing was, that scarcely anything was then known about railroads, and that no company had, at that period, come forward to take part in their execution. Since then, two great compa nies had sprung into existence, and had executed the Rouen and Orleans lines. He had also another mo tive—that they then possessed a milliard, which had since been expended in increasing their naval and military strength, and in supporting for some time a considerable army. If they had a similar sum at present, he should side with the Hon. Gentleman's views."

The transactions in" Cotton, at Liverpool, yesterday, were rather extensive, amounting to 6,000 bales, at steady . prices. There was a stronger market for Grand Junction and Bir mingham Shares.

The American advices received yesterday read tolerably well but we apprehend, from all we hear, that the domestic manufacturers of the States are supplying a very large pro portion of the. home consumption. In the Canadian produce markets, ashes had declined considerably upon the advices per Britannia, and' flour was dull, owing chiefly to the firm ness of the holders, in the face of the rather discouraging accounts from England. It is justly a matter for congratulation, that the commerce of New Brunswick, so long' and seriously depressed, is likely to revive. A- party writing from St. John's states : "As soon as the - navigation opens, business of all kinds -must take a start. The merchant from above will be down for supplies, which are generally, pretty well exhausted by the spring, and new life and animation will pervade all classes and conditions among . us. Then, again, on the left hand side, we shalt have the spring fleet coming into port, some laden with Merchandise, and others less richly freighted, to carry away the' staple articl4kof the" country_ for the English market. We likewise have reason to Believe that a ne* field of enter- Priae will be: obi Wain/miner; by some of our merchants in the proseeutloalsf:onifesheries, since the Legislature has been soliberatiti*aTfording meahs of encouragement. If this business be eitkred upnit with anything like spirit there will be no lack of employment for the labourer, as w e ll as the fishe rma n.— Adl. -have - enough to do. Nova Scotia employs 10,000 peisins in the, fisheries. In fact, it 'is this business that maintains that province in a commercial point ofview. A straniert6 go round the wharves in Halifax, would have - undeniable prod of this fact, for during the greater part of the year, the wharves, one and all, we had almost said, are literally - strewed with fish, drying in the sun ; and hundreds of labourers employed- in attending—in - turning, gathering, packing, mewing, and in fact . shipping them for the West India markets. This business likewise gives employment to coopers arid - carpenters; in the manufacture of hogsheads and boxes.. Why should not our wharves present something of this aspect? . "Again, the ship-buildin, business will revive • this like- 4subigiremeilfrls,ltrirttrtir mow "E'ven though other inducements be held out for the encou ragement of. industry, the ship-yards must not be de serted. They have hitherto given employment to thou sands; they-Itsve hien the strong means'of building the city, and spreading the name of our people far and wide, as a people possessing an enterprising and .commercial spirit, and worthy of the land that gave them birth. Let our ship yards, then, be re-opened. Let our lumberer's attend to their occupations,—our farmer's to theirs. In short, let no business be deserted." are'happy to hear that when the Britannia left, some of these favourable anticipations had already been resliied. The determination of Sir Robert Peel, it appears, is, to adhere to his Bank Bill, as printed, unless Parliament force him into modifications. The 'division on the Sugar • question having gone against the Ministry, has had -no, effect upon the value of the funds, although rather unexpected. Consols for the opening have realised 98 to A, being fall rates. Exchequer Bills have been marked 745. to 765. premium, which are again rather better prices.

At a few minutes after ten the two Learned Judges entered the Court and took their seats upon the Bench, and Augustus Dolmas, who was esterday found guilty of the murder of .Sarah Eleanor API arlane, upon Battersea-bridge, on the night of Monday, 29th April, was brought up to receive judgment. The unfortunate man appeared very self-possessed, although the nervous working of the muscles of the mouth exhibited the strong agitation which he tried so•successfully to subdue. On being asked the usual question what he had to say why sentence of death should not be passed against him, the pri soner, in a very firm tone of voice, said—" My Lords, God, the great Judge, before whom I must next apppear, knows that I am quite innocent I was not with her (the de ceased) on Battersea-bridge, nor in Duke-street, nor in. the beer-shop. . I. was not with her, nor near ber, on the. night-. ethipwahow,lktfAni , tuirivoir quite-realty to receive - my senteneit"." - • • • • The Learned Judge, Baron Guxaxy, then put on the black cap, and in the most impressive manner said—" Augustus Dahlias, you have been tried and found guilty of a most heinous offence, that of murder—and murder, too, of a per son whom you have declared that you fervently loved. What were the motives which could have induced you to have committed such a crime is best known to your own con science and to Almighty God. That you are a man of strong mind and passions, no one who has seen your self -command in this Court can doubt. You have. had a fair, patient, and impartial trial, and upon the evidence adduced, twelvo unprejudiced men have returned you convicted. Let me, there fore, most earnestly implore you to apply to Him who can alone forgive 'you your crimes. I have no power, neither can I hold you out any hope, that your sentence will be commuted ; therefore let me again earnestly implore you to pass the few remaining dayS of your life in• applying for mercy from that Power which is well able to extend it. It now becomes my duty to pass upon you the final sentence; which is, that you be taken to the gaol from whence you came, and there be hung by the neck until you are dead, and may the Lord have mercy upon your soul." The unfortunate man, who wept while the Judge's address was being delivered to him, was then removed in custody of Mr. Kean, the governor of Horsemonger-lane gaol. QUEEN-SQUARE.—(THIS DAY.) A labouring man, named Wm. Lloyd, was charged by m Crispin, one of the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelty to a horse. About 12 o'dock yesterday the defendant was dril'ing a' loaded cart in the Knightsbridge-road ; the horseii shoulders were raw in several places, which rendered it quite unfit fo'r work. , The defendant said that he was told by a farrier that the horse was fit for work. It certainly had several sores 'on its shoulders, which he thought would get hard, and ultimately well, by employing the animal two or three hours a day.— He was fined 20s. A little girl, apparently not more than twelve years of age, but who was stated to be between fourteen and fifteen, named Elizabeth Cooke, was placed at the bar, charged with the fol lowing conduct :- - Miss Susannah Marshall, a milliner and dress-maker car rying on business at No. 13, Chester-terrace, said the defen dant was apprenticed to her in February last, and that her parents, who reside in Broad-street, Golden-square, paid a premium of 151. with her. The girl's conduct was most ex traordinary. She was in the habit of placing her hands under her chin for several clays together,• and refusing to work, and when spoken to, stating that she had been work ing, and afterwards staring vacantly at her. She was also very insolent at times. On Thursday she refused to take an order to Berkeley-square before breakfast, though she was merely requested to de so at that early hour for the benefit of her health, which was not good. Witness had in formed her parents that she intended to bring her to this Court to-day; but they were not in attendance. The girl said that her mistress was very harsh to her, and beat her repeatedly. MisA Marshall denied that she ill-used the girl. She would willingly return the premium, if her parents would take her again, as . she obstructed her in her business. Mr. - BURRELL committed her to the House of Correction for ten days. The poor little creature did not at first comprehend the meaning of the decision •of the Magistrate ; when she did she burst into tears and implored forgiveness of her mistress, and was finally removed to one of the cells, where she cr i e d bitterly. There was a vacancy about the expression of her face, which the Reporter thought denoted aberration of in tellect ;. if so, the House of Correction and the- terrors of a station-house cell are not the best asylums in which to plaCe a child, perhaps afflicted with a constitutional malady which at times renders her insane. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.—The memorable words used,by Sir Robert Peel on the opening of this session of Parliament, in respect of the corn-laws, seem to liave been quoted not . quite correctly in Mr. Geor ge Robins's announce ment, although it is the salve in effect. The following, we believe, may be relied on :—" Although I consider it incon sistent with my duty to make engagements for adherence to existing laws, under all circumstances, in order to conciliate support; I can say that the Government hare never contem plated, and do not contemplate, any alteration in the existing corn- laws."' DlED.—ilit Dingwall,. Ross-shire, North Britain, after a most painful illness, which she bore with fortitude and pious resignation, Mary, the second daughter of the late Kenneth K'Kenzie, Esq., paymaster of the 3d West India Regiment; sister-in-law to Captain Thomas Munro, late Royal Highlanders ; cousin to Colin Alexander M'Kenzie, Esq., late British Consul at Lisbon; also, to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, P res id en t o f the Board of Trade. A pamphlet has been recently issued containing several interesting anecdotes of the most famous singers of the Italian opera. These have been thus brought together to exhibit as it were the efficacy of a secret recipe called the Voice Lozenge, and by which Dr. Stolberg has acquired de served fame. Without quoting from the work, which is neatly written, it may be but necessary to say the value of the remedy for nearly every distressing symptom in the throat is fully made out, and as the price places it within the reach of all classes great good must follow its more general introduction into this country. 'ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY. — The gentlemen cadets studying at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, have been supplied with beautiful new carbines, about 2ilbs lighter than those issued to the non-commissioned officers and gunners and drivers of six companies of the Royal Artillery, and in progress of being delivered to all the companies in that branch of her Majesty's service. This handsome arm has given great satisfaction. Every carbine is as well finished as a fowling piece. THE BARNSLEY COLLIERS' STRIKE.—The main body of the men in this district are still out. There are a few who have resumed their labour at nearly all the pits in the neighbourhood, and they are few indeed, with the ex ception of Worsboreugh Park collieries, where the men are receiving as much for their labour as the colliers are asking at Darley Maine. Richard Thorpe, Esq., of Wilthorpe col lieries, consented to give his men an advance on Monday, on condition that they would give up their union cards. The men acceded to his terms, and resumed labour on Tuesday morning. —Doncaster Gazette.' PARLIAMEN TARY DIVISIONS. (Proni the Votes and Proceedings of Hoare of Commons.) FRIDAY, JUNE 14.

The sale of the exceedingly handsome furniture and selected articles of taste and vertu throughout the man sion called Knowle House, at Cranley, in Surrey, col lected by a man of fashion and unquestionable taste, has been twice delayed by circumstances beyond the reach of control. These difficulties having arrives at a termi nation, the sale is positively fixed to commence on Mon day next, and continue until Thursday. It has created an extraordinary sensation throughout all Surrey. The gentleman's known taste and liberal expenditure has extended far and wide, and the anxiety to possess, amid sd many, one or two of the relics, will in all probability cause the competion to be of unusual extent. The pub lic,view this week has attra c t e d a l rea d y many hundred persons, including a great portion of the rich and in fluential gentry of the country. The estate, which is accounted one of the prettiest things throughout Eng land, with a demense exceeding six hundred acres of finely-timbered park and farms, is at length doomed to the uncertain fate of the hammer, and Mr. George Robins has fixed on the 11th of the ensuing month as the day for competition. There is no doubt a considerable ex citement will be visible with a view to possess one of the most favoured suits throughout Surrey. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—FAVERSHAM, JUNE 13.—0 n Tuesday morning, about 10 o'clock, a fire broke out at a thatched house in the village of Newnham, about five miles from Faversham, Kent, which totally destroyed 14 or 15 houses and cottages, besides a carpenter's shop, lodges, stables, &c. The fire is supposed to have originated from sparks falling from the chimney on to the thatch of the house, which of course was very dry from the long absence of rain, and so rapid was the progress of the flames; which were driven with great fury by a south-westerly breeze, that several of the poor people were unable to save their furniture, and are thereby plunged into the deepest distress, being in some cases uninsured. The Kent and Norwich Union engines, from Faversham, and the Kent engine, from Sittingboume, attended, and succeeded towards evening in subduing the fire. The greatest fears were at one time entertained that the whole village of Newnham would have fallen a sacrifice. A subscription has been commenced for the poor sufferers.
