The persecution of the Opposition press, which for some time had began to relax, has now been renewed vigorously. The Revolucao has again been suspended, and the editor of the Patriota has been clapped into prison without either judge or jury. I regret to say that on Sunday last the Duke of Palmella broke a blood-vessel on his lungs, and still continues in a very dangerous state, though not given over as yet by his medical attendants. The French frigate Adour arrived here yesterday from Cadiz.

GLOBE.—Mr. Baron Alderson observed, in the course of one of the late trials in Suffolk, when he heard that the prisoner Lankester, who stood before him at the bar charged with burning a stack of wheat, had justified such an act, by saying, it would make corn dearer and wages higher, "This is certainly a new and very strange application of the doctrines of po litical economy." This remark of the Learned Judges convinces us that he is not in the habit of reading the doctrines of political economy put forth by certain organs of landed " protection." We do not know whetner those journals are fa vourites in the beer-shops of Suffolk, as well as on the breakfast-tables of Mayfair. Indeed, we must in candour say we are disposed to imagine they are not. Otherwise we should be compelled, however reluc tantly, to trace a moral complicity between their pre cepts and Lankester's practices. There is no doc trine which the public instructors in question have been more anxious to propagate than the doctrine that farmers ought not to look to increased powers of production for profit ; and indeed that the more they produce, the worse it is likely to be for them selves. They have disdainfully scouted the notion that the native agriculturists should feel them Selves bound to create abundance, in consideration of such protection as they enjoy. They opine that the farmers should by no means give ear to Liebig ; that they should by no means study to increase their products and thereby lower prices ; that, in fact, the latter are exclusively what they ought to consider their Palladium ; and that a rate of prices satisfactory to themselves it is the whole duty of the Legislature to secure them. How far be yond this doctrine are the deductions from it for which Lankester was convicted ? The most consistent organs of monopoly think abundance, entailing cheapness, the great evil to be discouraged and deprecated. So thinks Lankester ; so he expressed to his ad miring associates on the treadwheel. " While on the treadwheel (says the Chronicle Suffolk correspondent), Lankester made such disclosures to some new friends whom he met there, as led to his being accused of incendiarism. The superintendent of the treadwheel was sitting, as they thought, fast asleep. But, if his eyes were shut, his ears were open, and he heard the jokes which were perpetrated at his expense, together with the doctrines of political economy promulgated by Lankester, as also an account of the practical applica tion of those doctrines. Lankester had not only been able to trace much of the misery of the present times to the introduction of machinery ; he was convinced, and tried to convince others, that cheap corn was the greatest of curses to the English labourers. He knew of no means, he said, of raising the wages of the labourers, but by rais ing the price of corn ; he knew of no way of raising the price of corn but by making it scarce ; and he knew of no way of making it scarce so readily as to burn the stack-yards. He was therefore in favour of burning stacks, though greatly opposed to those who set fire to barns and houses ; and if the witnesses and jury are right in what they have said and done, he, to carry out his principles of encouragement to native industry,' and thorough out-and-out ' protection to agriculture,' set fire to at least one stack with his own hand." It is not every one that, like Lankester, has the noble daring to work out principles to their conse quences. The Times has suggested the New Poor-law as the raison svffisante to the Suffolk incendiaries. This is ingenious and plausible, and lesser minds than Lan kester's might be satisfied with the hint. But that com prehensive intellect was not to be limited in its range to aught narrower than the scope of the whole theory of apricultural protection. To him bad Heaven with bounteous care assigned Energetic nature, and a shaping mind. The shape taken by Lankester's speculations was not haranguing at county meetings, nor subscribing to protection societies—but limiting agricultural " over production" by lucifer matches. The impulse of the gentlemen of the Eastern counties (according to Mr. Wodehouse), when they can't stand attacks on their interest any longer,—is to charge somebody else with incendiarism. Lankester's impulse, in the same region, has at least greater directness and dash about it. It is, namely, to commit incendiarism himself. But a prophet has no honour in his own county. The presentment of the grand jury described Lankester's act of incendiarism as " malicious." They should have de scribed it as mistakenly protective ; and with that fel low-feeling which marks class-interests, they should have recommended to mercy the practical enthusiast for their own economical doctrines. At least some token of sympathy, surely, 0 Suffolk squirearchy, might have been afforded to the ill-fated translator of artificial-price doctrine into fact— Doom'd the long isles of Sydney Cove to see— A martyr to his crime—but true to thee. STANDARD.—The debate in the House of Com mons last night upon the Irish Charitable Bequests Bill presents new proof, if new proof were wanted, of the im possibility of satisfying the demands of the Irish po litical Roman Catholics by any concession shot t of abso lute dominion. The purpose of the Bill is to facilitate Roman Catholic endowments by certain changes in the law of charitable devises ; and by the appointment of a Commission, of whom five Commissioners are to be Roman Catholics. Whether this change in the law is such as Protestants ought to approve of is a question open to debate; but that it ought to be gratefully accepted by Roman Catholics, no rational man will dispute ; nevertheless, Mr. O'Ferrall, Mr. Shell, Mr. Wyse, Mr. Bellew, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, and Mr. Dillon Browne made a great outcry, because, forsooth, the titular bishops—whom Mr. Wyse indecently and ille gally called the prelates of " the Church of Ireland" —had not been consulted, and because none of these persons are to be ex officio Commissioners. Now what has that to say to the law ? If the law is otherwise a good law, what matter who was consulted in forming it, or by whom, supposing them honest men, it is to be administered ? The commission is to be a tribunal for the determination of questions of title to property. And are we to be told that tribunals are to be constituted by popular or by party election ? If this principle is once admitted, we can hardly quarrel with Mr. O'Connell's arbitration courts. Cases of Roman Catholic property of all kinds, testamentary as well as other cases, come before the Protestant judges of her Majesty's courts of equity and of civil law. Yet it is not denied that justice is impar tially administered by these Protestant judges. What possible objection, then, to a commission of charitable bequests, if it were exclusively Protestant ; above all, what objection to such a commission when five of its members are to be Roman Catho lics ? But, says Mr. Sheil, we object to the Commissioners, whether Protestant or Roman Ca tholic, being laymen. Here the cloven foot peeps out. The Romanist Bishop's want to establish themselves somewhere as a legalised tribunal, an authorised corpo ration, well knowing that if they obtain that footing they will soon make good more ground. It is upon this consideration they make a complaint of not being consulted ; and upon this consideration they demand to be placed, ex officio, in the admi nistration of the law. These persons forget, however, that though the State recognises their orders from their church (in which we think the State very wrong), wherever they may happen to be found, the " security" law of 1829 distinctly forbids them, under a penalty, to claim a local jurisdiction, even in things spiritual, anywhere within her Majesty's domi nions. The Legislature, in granting them local jurisdiction in matters merely temporal, would therefore act in direct violation of its own ordinances. It is worthy of observation that none of the British Members who usually support the Romanist party could find front to vote with them last night, and even Mr. Joseph Hume both spoke and voted against them. Considering the Bill as one of mere temporal arrangement, and not unjust in principle, we have no objection to offer to it, and we certainly rejoice at the manner in which it has been introduced.

SUGAR.-Since Tuesday last the demand has been limited for brown, common grey and yellow sorts of West India Sugar, still former rates are generally sustained, but for strong grey and bright yellow kinds a good demand has pre vailed, and merchants have obtained fully former prices. To-day the market was in a quiet state for British Plantation Sugar ; the demand was limited for the scale and pan, and the rates accepted were rather under those of Friday for inferior yellow and brown sorts, but good and fine yellow kinds, of which the supply is small, maintained the former currency, and are held with firmness : at public sale 144 hhds 6 trcs Barbadoes were offered ; the better qualities fetched full rates, but mid and low went heavily 6d to is under the prices of the last auction; fine yellow fetched 64s to 675, good mid and good 60s to 635, mid 58s to 59s 6d, low dingy 57s to 57s 6d, and strong grainy 65s per cwt. The total pur• chases are only 450 hhds and trcs. Remeeo.- 7 Prices cannot again be quoted higher for Refined Sugar, but the demand has been good from the home trade, and the supply is by no means large. To-day Refined Sugar was in good request by the home trade ; brown Lumps at 74s 6d to 755, and standard Lumps 76s to to 76s 6d per cwt. The supply is small, especially of the low and middling qualities. For bonded crushed Sugar prices are again higher, sales made at 26s 3d to to 26s 6d per cwt. The market is still scantily supplied. In Loaves there has been a good deal doing. MAURITIUS.-A decline in prices of 6d has taken place for good and fine yellow, and Is per cwt f or a ll o th er s o rts. The principal part of the Sugar offered Since Tuesday last has consisted of common and middling qualities. EAST INDIA.-There has been a falling off in the demand for Bengal Sugar, at a decline of 6d per cwt. The market has a firm appearance for Foreign East India Sugar.

This afternoon Trinidad Cocoa at 36s to 37s per cwt. COFFEE.-There has been less inclination manifested on the part of holders of West India Coffee to realise, and they have refrained from offering any at auction ; by private treaty some parcels of clean quality were disposed of at fully former rates, but unclean sorts are dull of sale and are offered at comparatively low terms. Mocha has been in much better request, and in some cases the rates paid are rather above those of this day week. This afternoon Ceylon real good ordinary fetched 54s 6d to 555, good ord 53s 6d to 545, ordinary 535, fine ordinary 56s 6d to 58s 6d, sea damaged 41s 6d to 68s 6d, triage 33s to 46s 6d, sound pea berry 70s to 83s, fine fine ordinary coloury grey Demerara sort 62s 6d to 695. • Of,Pemerara unclean at 57s 6d to 60s for low middling, 65s to 75s for middling, and 32s to 55s 6d for very low to good ord, being cheaper.

Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. The Three-and-a - Half per Cent. Dissentients Bill was read a third time and passed. The Church Endowment Bill, the Ecclesiastical Juris diction Bill, and the Clerks of the Crown and Chancery Bill, severally passed through Committee, and were re ported. The Metropolitan Buildings Bill also passed through Committee, and was reported. The Privy Council Bill was read a third time and passed. LAW COURTS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE, with some preliminary ob servations which were inaudible in the gallery, move the order of the day fur the Committee on the Bill for regulating the certain usages and . practice of the courts of law in Ireland. _ _ _ Lord CAMPBELL objected to the appointment of prothonotary and other officers by the Lord-Lieutenant or his secretaries, instead of their being appointed by the judges of the respective courts. He would, at another time, move an amendment for the purpose of removing that objection. The LORD CHANCELLOR defended that part of the Bill, which he said was not a new enactment, as the appointment of the prothonotaries had been vested in the Lord-Lieutenant. _ The Bill then passed through Committee. CATHOLIC PENAL LAWS REPEAL BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had been requested by his Noble Friend near him (Lord Beau mont) to move the report of the Committee on the Bill for repealing certain Acts imposing penalties on Roman Catholics. He (the Lord Chancellor) had carefully examined the Bill, and it did not pro pose to repeal any measure for the retention of which there could be the least reason shown. The motion was that the report be received. That motion was made with a view to another—namely, that the Bill be re-committed ; and in Committee it would be competent to any Noble Lord, or Reverend Pre late, to state his objections to any part of it. It was a strange objection,. under the circumstances, that the Bill was brought up at so late a period of the session ; the fact being, that the Bill had been before the House for two months, to enable every Noble Lord and Rev. Prelate to examine its details. He defied any Member of that House to lay his hand upon any Act named in this Bill which ought not to be repealed. The first Act was the Act of Edward VI., the Uniformity Act, which required every person attending a place of wor ship to use th e Book o f Common Prayer, and impos ing upon any p e rs o n attending worship where the service was not performed according to that book, a heavy fine for the first offence ; for the second, impri sonment for one year ; and for the third, imprisonment for life. He did not propose to repeal the Act, but only that it should not be obligatory on Catholics. Could any one doubt the propriety of that ? The next was the Act of Elizabeth, the Supremacy Act, which enacted that if any one assumed that any person had ecclesias tical, spiritual or temporal authority in these realms except the Queen should for the first offence be punished by the forfeiture of all goods and chattels ; for the second, by imprisonment for life; and for the third by all the penalties of high treason. The third Act imposed penal ties for not attending the parish church at least once a week. Now, how could that law be retained after the Catholics had been emancipated ? The sth of Elizabeth subjected every one who denied the supremacy of the Sovereign at once to a prcemunire. How could any one say that this Act should be retained in the present times ? The next act was, that any person who should be reconciled to the Church of Rome should be guilty of high treason. Another imposed the heaviest penalties upon any Ca tholic who should cause his children to be educated abroad. Was it reasonable, that in this time, such a law should be retained.—(Hear, hear.) Another of those Acts prohibited any Roman Catholic from departing more than twelve miles from his own home, or approaching nearer than ten miles to the me tropolis.—(A laugh.) Would any one say that that Act should not be repealed ? The 35th of Charles IL disqualified all persons who became converts to the Roman Catholic religion to bold office ; another Act prevented 'Roman Catholics from having in their houses, or possessing a horse of the value of more than sL—(Laughter.) If a Roman Catholic was found to possess a horse of greater value than that the horse could be seized and sold for that price.---(Hear, hear.) Who would say that he did wrong in , repeating . that Act ? (Hear, hear.) Now, if his Right Rev.. Friend, who ex pressed on another evening some alarm for the security of the Church on account of the proposed repeal of these Acts, would state to the House the reasons which : • convinced him (the Bishop of London) that any one of those Acts should be continued, he (the Lord Chan cellor) would give up his opposition to it.—(Hear, hear.) He had recommended to his Noble= Friend to allow his Bill, after passing through the Committee, to stand over to the next session, in order that it might be seen what the Government would do in the meantime. But if his Noble Friend was not willing to do so, he (the Lord Chancellor) would feel it his duty to support the Bill. The Bishop of LONDON did not wish it to be sup posed that he was opposed to the repeal of those penal laws, which pressed, not practically, but in theory only, upon the Roman Catholics. Apprehensive as he was of being supposed to be a supporter of those obnoxious laws, ho was thankful to his Noble and Learned Friend for giving him an opportunity of stating his reason for opposing this motion. His Noble and Learned Friend expressed an opinion that this was a subject which it would be more fitting for the Govern ment to take up and consider in the course of the approaching recess. As that was the fittest course, and as their Lordships had almost an assurance from the Lord Chancellor that it would be adapted, he would protest against the measure being now taken up by her Majesty's Government, at the end of the session, without consulting any of those Members of their Lordships House who were the rulers and guardians of the Established Church, and who ought to be consulted upon matters affecting so much the interests of that Church. Risking whatever imputations might be cast upon his charity, he would protest against the repealing of those statutes, without giving the House time to examine how for that repeal would affect other laws. It was to be remembered that since the Reformation the Constitution of this country had been not only essentially Protestant, but anti-Popish. The first time the bulwarks which the Reformation had set up around the Church were broken, was in passing the Catholic Emancipation Act. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition ) The House resumed at Fiie o'clock. Mr. HUME presented a petition from a body of artists, against the Art Unions Bill. CAPTAIN WARNER. Sir J. GRAHAM said there was a notice of motion on the paper with respect to Captain Warner's invention ; but, as his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Govern• ment was most anxious to be present when that subject came forward, and as it was, from particular circum stances, impossible for him to be in his place that day, he would suggest to his Noble Friend (Lord Ingestre) the desirableness of postponing the motion, either until to-morrow or Friday. Lord IN GESTRE. said he should, under the circum stances, postpone the motion until to-morrow at five o'clock. POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS. Col. SIBTHORP gave notice that he would, early next session, take the sense of the House, by moving fur the removal of the Assistant Poor•law Commis sioners. PORTS AND HARBOURS. Colonel DAWSON DAMER appeared at the bar as Comptroller of the Household, and stated that he had to acquaint the House that her Majesty had received the address relating to the several tidal harbours, ports, and rivers, and that her Majesty had been pleased to return as the answer, that consideration should be given to the subject. THE RAJA OF SATTARA. Mr. HUME moved for copies of all correspondence relating to the deposed Raja of Sattara, which has taken place between the Government of India and Major Car penter, the officer in charge of the Raja, from September, 1839, the time of his Highness' departure for Bemires, to the Ist of January, 1844. The Hon. Member said it had been his intention to submit to the House, in moving for these papers, a short statement of the injuries of the Raja of Sattara ; but as he had been informed that there was no objection to their production he was unwilling to take up the time of the House by entering into details. Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion. This unfortu nate Prince had long been waiting for justice, and he hoped he would not have to wait for it much longer. Mr. B. BARING said there was no objection on the part of the Company to produce the return. After some observations from Mr. HOGG and Sir T. COLEBROOKE, the motion was agreed to. The Debtors and Creditors Bill was read a first time and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday. The Transfer of Real Property Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 29. The Land Tax Commissioners Names Bill passed through Committee. Lora HAWARDEN presented a petition from the Hull and Selby Railway Company against certain clauses in the Railways Act. The Transfer of Property Bill was read a third time and passed. THE COOPERS' TRADE. Mr. HUME rose to call the attention of the House to the depressed state of the coopers' trade in Great Britain, and to move that the House would, early in the en suing session, take the petitions of the coopers into consideration, with the view of relieving them from their present distress. Great changes had been made in our tariff, and the coopers considered that their interests had been neglected, and their trade in jured. They complained that the colonial market had been thrown open to the Americans, while a duty of 25 per cent. was maintained on the raw material used in this country. It was, therefore, impossible for them to compete with the Americans in the colonial market. All that the British coopers wanted to prevent them selves and their families from being ruined was, to be placed on the same footing with foreigners, with regard to the raw material. The greatest benefit had been experienced by those engaged in the cabinet. making trade from the reductions which took place in the duties on mahogany, amboyna wood, and rose wood. If a reduction took place on the raw material of the wood from which staves were manufactured, he had no doubt the change would be soon beneficially felt by the coopers. Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion. The question having been put. Mr. GLADSTONE said he was sure the Hon. Gen tleman did not desire to obtain the sense of the House on this subject, and that his wish only was to raise a discussion. He agreed with the Hon. Gentleman as to the hardship which the coopers suffered, and he had doubts of the expediency of imposing a heavy duty on wood, or a class of articles like staves. He had said that the coopers attributed their distress to causes to which it was not to be properly attributed, and the Right Hon. Gentleman appeared to him to be under the impression that it was owing to the change in 1842, that distress had fallen on them. He would not hesitate to assert that their positition was improved by the change in the law which had taken place in 1842. At the time the change was made he had reason to sup pose that the trade were satisfied with the arran g ement. He now came to the alteration of th e colonial duties and the duties charged on the importation of staves into the West Indies. The parties said their position was materially the worse since the change in the law, and to that they ascribed the distress under which they were suffering. But the Hon. Gentleman was misin formed as to the extent of that change. The Hon. Gentleman stated there was a prohiited duty on timber, which was not the case. fLEFT SPEARING.I LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 29._ In consequence of the sudden indisposition of Mr. Commissioner Law, and the absence of the other Com missioners on Circuit, Mr. Nicholls, as senior barrister, presided. — l:7 -- The COURT was occupied for a long time in hearing cases, in none of which, except the following, there ap peared any point of general interest. IF RE PIERRE CHARLES BRUNEAU CARE. The insolvent in this case, who is a native of France, and whose debts and liabilities were stated to be very large, applied to be liberated on bail until the day ap pointed for his final hearing. A very general impression seems to prevail that it is quite impossible for any person to obtain his fiberty by even the most speedy adoption of the different tech nical forms under a period of six weeks or two months, but this case, notwithstanding the number of debts which appeared in the insolvent's schedule, afforded a striking instance of the quickness with which insolvents may take advantage of the present state of the law. The prisoner's attorney brought him into Court. and securi ties being found for his appearance on the day fixed for bis hearing he was liberated, after being in prison for only eleven days from the date of his arrest. IN RE THOXAS EVANS. The insolvent had carried on an extensive business as a cowkeeper and dairyman; be was opposed by Mr. Cooke on the ground of having made away with property; of having failed to account for a certain reversionary interest to which he became entitled after the death of his mother, and, also, with having vexatiously defended an action brought to recover the amount of an accommodation bill. NICHOLLS, after hearing very lengthened evi dence, ordered the case to be adjourned to compel the insolvent to amend his schedule and file more correct accounts. WILL OF LORD WALLACE•—The will :and codicils of the Right Hon. Thomas Lord Wallace, late of Fea therstone Castle, Northumberland, have just been proved in Doctors' Commons by Sir Charles Miles Lambert Monek, Bart., E. W. Hassell, Esq., and W. Nanson, Esq., the executors. His Lordship gives to Thomas Mac lean, Esq., and his wife, both of Carlisle, 5,0001. each, and legacies to various branches of his family, friends, executors servants, and very many other persons whom it would be utterly impossible to specify. The following are the only parts of the will of public interest:—His Lordship directs two busts of himself to be executed in marble by Mr. Campbell, the sculptor (from a cast taken by that gentle man), one of which is to be given to his executor, Sir Charles M. L. Monck, and the other deposited in Fea therstone Castle, and considered as an heirloom ; all the plate and pictures in the castle are also to descend as heirlooms. He expresses a strong desire that this building may " never be unoccupied, but tenanted by those who have an interest in it. He observes that several parcels of jewellery will be found packed and addressed by himself to various parties, and earnestly desires his executors to forward them to the persons to whom they are addressed as soon after his death as may be. He also directs the interest of 100/. to be paid yearly to a clergyman of the Church of England at Fea therstone, who is " to read prayers once on every Sun day, and administer the sacrament at least four times in every year." The will is very long, and the personal property is sworn under 45,000/. RISE IN VALUE OF GROUND NEAR GLASGOW.— On Thursday week the lands of Stobcross, to the west of Finnieston, and extending from the Clyde northward to near Dumbarton-road, were sold by public roup at the price of 3s. per square yard, imperial measure. These lands extend to about 63 Scotch or about 80 imperial acres, which being about 387,000 square yards, makes the price amount to some.. where about 58,000/. ; but as the purchaser pays the auction duty, which will be about 1,0771., as well as the half of the conveyance stamp, the price will actually amount to upwards of 60,0001. We understand that these lands were purchased by the late Mr. Phillips (by whose trustees they have been sold), in the year 1817, for about 3,700/., making a rise in value of upwards of 56,000/.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS BILL. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved the second read ing of the Metropolitan Buildings Regulation Bill. The principle of the Bill had been already assented to by the House in a former session. It was rendered neces sary by the imperfection of the Act of 1776, which was now in force, but which was quite inadequate to carry out its own enactments. In some cases its provisions were too harshly and oppressively en forced, and in others they were too much relaxed. The present Bill provided for the proper width of streets, alleys, and courts, for the secure build ing of houses, for the construction of drains for every house, for ventilation, the height of rooms, and the spaces between the rear of houses. It provided also measures for preventing the erection of houses in the metropolis unfit for human habitation. All surveyors under this Act would be required to pass an ex amination as to their qualifications. This was a very desirable provision, for, under the existing system persons were appointed, who, however respect able in other respects, were wholly ignorant of the busi ness of a surveyor. It was proposed to appoint, with salaries, certain official referees, who should determine all disputes under the Act. There would also be a registrar, to whom the surveyors would be required to re port their prom edings once a month. In the present system it frequently occurred that a surveyor surveyed his own buildings. The surveyor was frequently a builder, and it was obvious that persons having houses to build within his district had a strong inducement to employ him as their builder. This Bill required that when a surveyor was employed to build houses in his own district, the official referee should appoint another surveyor to survey such buildings. The Act now in force was very unequal in the extent of its application. For instance, part of Chelsea was included, and the whole of Kensington was ex cluded from it. He thought that the present Bill would best be discussed in Committee, and all he wmed now say was, that it would introduce great uniformity into the law, and would be simple and intelligible, and in many respects less stringent than the present law. He only asked their Lordships to read it now for the second time. Lord CAMPBELL objected to the pressing on this Bill at so late a period of the session. It had only come up from the other House on the 22d of July, yet' it was as long as the Code Napoleon. —(Hear, and laughter.) It contained one hundred and eighteen clauses—(Hear, hear)—and was it to be ex pected that their Lordships should sit down to examine these clauses at this season, to the entire ne glect of every thing else? In fact, the Bill could not go through Committee in less than a month or five weeks, unless the committal were a mere farce. Yet, it was important that the Bill should be thoroughly examined, as it would affect property and existing interests in the metropolis to a vast extent. As far as he had examined the Bill, he found it imperfect, in several respects, objectionable. Of course, he approved of the principle, but he entirely disapproved of the machinery. t was proposed to appoint a registrar, and•three official referees, with salaries of 1,0001. a year, to be paid out of the county-rates. Agair, he admitted that it was right to interfere with property when the public health or safety re quired it, but not otherwise. But the official referees would have a power which had been taken out of the hands of the Crown, to withhold the operation of a prohibitory law, and to say Non obvtat. The re ferees would have the power of withholding at their dis cretion the operation of the 118 clauses of which this Bill consisted. It was quite clear that there would not be time to discuss the Bill adequately, and he should, therefore, move. as an amendment, that the Bill be read a third time this day three months. The Earl of CADOG AN was understood to say that he agreed with the Noble and Learned Lord, that the Bill was brought up at too late a period of the session to be sufficiently considered. The Earl of BESBOROUGH said that the Bill had been prepared with great care, and he thought it would be rather hard to throw it out on the second reading, without a discussion in Committee. The Earl of KINNAIIU) approved of much that was contained in the Bill, but he was still of opinion that it came too late into that House for this session, There were several enactments proposed in it, for carrying out which there was no provision. Amongst others, it was proposed to turn out all those who lived in cellars and other places in the metropolis unfit for human habita tion. But there was no provision for other dwellings for them, nor was it proposed to facilitate the erection of new buildings by taking off the tax of ten per cent. on that kind of property. He should be sorry to see the Bill lost altogether, but he thought it would be best to postpone it till the beginning of next session. The Marquis *1 SALISBURY regretted that the Noble and Learned Lord opposite had thought it neces sary to oppose the Bill. He hoped their Lordships would pass the second reading and allow the Bill to go to the Committee. At the same time he complained of the House of Commons loading their Lordships' table with important Bills so late in the session—some of these Bills, like the present, containing 118 clauses. Ile hoped the Noble and Learned Lord would withdraw his amendment, and let the Bill be committed, with the understanding that it should not proceed further until the beginning of next session, an understanding that had been come to in respect to other Bills. Lord CAMPBELL said that if her Majesty's Go vernment would agree to the understanding proposed by the Noble Marquis, he (Lord Campbell) would withdraw his amendment ; but if the Noble Marquis was deter mined to press the Bill to a third reading this session, he would take the sense of the House. The Earl "of WICKLOW agreed with the Noble Marquis near him (the Marquis of Salisbury), that it would be advisable to allow the Bill to go into Com mittee, in order that their Lordships might be the better able to deal with it next year. He did not think that the lateness of the session was a good reason for re fusinf= to read a Bill the second time, because nobody could tell how long the session might last. Lord COTTENHAM said that he was surprised to hear the Noble Earl say that the lateness of the session was no objection to the second reading of an important measure ; whereas, when the Noble Marquis and the other Noble Lords round him (on the Ministerial side) sat on that (the Opposition) side of the House, it was a very frequent objection to important measures that they were brought up too late. —(Hear, hear.) This Bill was of very great importance, affecting a vast amount of property in a range extending to twelve miles round the metropolis. He was in the same condition as most other Noble Lords as to this Bill, that is, he had had very little opportunity of examining its provisions. He found that it would interfere in a very singular way with the relations between landlord and tenant. It would alter contracts, and yet allowed either party to enforce the contract as so altered, even though the other party should desire that the contract should cease upon the alteration. The present law for the abatement of nuisances was to be superseded, at the same time that the Bill provided no practical means of abatement instead. For these and several other objec tions he should support the amendment. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH thought that the objec tions which he had heard were against the details of the Bill, and not against the principle. He had purposely put off the second reading of the Bill to this day, in order that Noble Lords might have an opportunity of reading it. But he found the same result in all cases. He found that no matter how early a Bill was brought into Parliament, no Member read it until the day it came on for the second reading —except some one who took a particular interest in it. He should consider it his duty to press the second reading of the Bill ; and also to move that it be committed, for he was convinced that, with very little amendment, it could be made a valuable measure. Their Lordships then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading For the amendment B. Majority —23 The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow (this day). Several Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 29. CHARITABLE DONATIONS AND BEQUESTS (IRELAND) BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM in proposing the second reading of this Bill stated that he would shortly advert to the cir cumstances under which the measure bad been brought forward. It was impossible to conceive any subject of greater national importance than this. There were three principal defects in the existing Act. The first was the constitution of the board, and the next was thatof chang ing the uses pointed out by testators on the ground of expediency ; and the third defect was the absence of the power to endow with land' in perpetuity. It was to re medy these defects that the present Bill was introduced. There were three principal objections to the law as it at present stood, which the present measure would remove. In the fourteenth clause of the Bill there was a limita tion for .the first time introduced with regard to the time of giving property, landed or personal, which should be within a short time antecedent to the death of the tes tator or donor. It was a question of public and general policy, and was quite open to discussion. He was of opinion that some such limitation was necessary, consi dering the influtnce that might be used over dying per sons. Now he was bound to state, that he could only an ticipate one objection to the measure, as not being entirely satisfactory to Roman Catholics, and that objection, he was told, arose from a difficulty peculiar to the form of the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical jurisdic tion, which was this--that the status of any person in holy orders could not be decided by a person not himself an ecclesiastic. He might, in passing, observe that it was open to the discretion of the Crown to select a per son who, with regard to all the circumstancesof the case, should be the most entitled to the confidence of the Ro man Catholic body, and who would, at the same time, enjoy the confidence of the Crown. He must also ob serve that the last resort of the board, as it was now to be constituted, was not trust-worthy if a dispute arose. In the law as it stood at present, an appeal was allowed to the Lord Chancellor, who from the circumstance of holding the great seal must necessarily be a Protestant. Under the board, as it was to be now constituted, there must be one Roman Catholic dignitary. on it, and it was quite clear that in the course of time either the Master of the Rolls or the Chief Baron of the Exchequer would be a Roman Catholic. This measure was framed in tte spirit of peace ; it was framed with regard t o th e cir cumstances of reland ; it was not possible to offer any endowment to the Roman Catholic clergy, which would not be accepted—(Hear,hear)—but it was most desirable that a provision should be made to legalise the offerogs voluntarily made for the purposes of the Roman Ca tholic religion. That it might mitigate the discord and asperity which unhappily too much prevailed in Ireland he mo s earnestly wished. It was tendered in the spirit of p eace —in that spirit he hoped it would be received. I l e hoped nothing had fallen from him to disturb that spiri t ' He trusted that this measure would form the corner stone of that temple of peace which his Right Hon. Friend ex* pressed a hope might arise at no distant time, when th e Queen of Et-gland should visit her Irish dominions, 0) , appear on her " throw- of the West," actuated by feel . ings of kindness and benevolence towards all, her sub jects, but in a particular manner towards a generous, $ gallant, and still a loyal people.—(Cheers.) The question having been put, Mr. M. O'FERRALL said that if this Bill was mean t in a spirit of peace and conciliation, he must be allowed W t observe that the terms in which it was conceived were 9° calculated to produce that effect. It was a great misfortune°, that in every measure introduced with regard to Irel,.s l . l t, 5 some clause was introduced which spoiled the spirit 0 11 however wise and good it might be. There were clause; in this Bill that appeared to him most objectionable. 1,1 Ireland the greatest feeling existed against e verythi l t that touched the Catholic Church. In England thec a s ; was different ; but in Ireland they were imbued with t `;. s deepest jealousy. The clause made the Commission em removable at the pleasure of the Crown, which, / n thought extremely objectionable. The Right Pli"' Baronet had stated that it would be the pleasure of t Crown to appoint prelates of the Catholic Church, but it might be the pleasure of the Crown not to apr in e prelates of the Catholic Church ; and if they W er d to appoint Catholic laymen, the decisions . A v e the board would not be received by the bishops. He objected also to the constitution of the board, which was to consist of eight Protestants °i v , five Catholics. The Bill was by no means s measure. In 1824 Lord Castlereagh had been il l Co "; respondence with the Catholic hierarchy on the subject. The measure which was then proposed was much silP he rior to the present Bill, for it proposed to erec t , t hi Catholic clergy into corporations, giving them the 1 4 0 of succession. He objected to the Bill because it Wu the first attempt at legislative interference with the Catholic religion, and he would recommend the Grov er°. tho ment to pass those clauses only which related to . charitable boards, and to leave those clauses which 111‘ terfered with the Catholic religion to another sessil: for the Government had had ample time to consider a effect of the measure, while the parties interested bid not had sufficient time afforded to consider what W° ll be the effect of the Bill.—(Cheers.) Lord ELIOT said the Government had reason to be; lieve th© measure would be acceptable to the 11011 t. Catholic clergy of Ireland. The Bill had been 0 4 ported by Lord Normanbv, whom the Hon. Gentles° had often -said was dear to the CatholiPs of Irelatid / s , (Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman had alluded't o " observations of a Right Rev. Prelate in the other }lO, and stated that they were of a sectarian character. P l / 11 , friendly to the perpetuation of the penal statutes; butted he (Lord Eliot) apprehended, they were only „ & towards the support of the Established Church, ttrwi r - sc ° l in disparagement of any religion whatever. The i was the Bill was permissive, and not ossiP ui , g° l •s. and calculated to prevent concealment or appropriation of charitable funds. In France. "bf trill, and Belgium, no bequest could be acceptedA the Roman Catholic body wi.hout the cog consent of the Government of these countries. 00 . France a curate could not be appointed without the °, sent of the Government. After the assurance of his 1 1 ,'g c l i Hen. Friend he thought the feelings of jealousy W i :,,, 1 9 0 nizance..lo were expressed regarding interference with 1144 " Catholics, entirely unfounded. M- BELLEW brought _ thought the measure was - 60' forward in a conciliatory and kind spirit, but the bet o vcrnment had not consulted those who could glye t . e ot , the most useful and practical inf o rmation o n the snt.'iltioo The Government was placed in an unfortunate P" s „ l be ir —they had no Catholic in the Government, and .tbe words and actions were so much opposed, that Roman Catholic body were naturally suspicious a ct is measure they brought forward. The Bill contaiq to his (Mr. Bellew's) opinion, . both insult a nd injus ti f ts te Ireland. Roman Cath o li cs were a l ways j ea l o us of '' ce! interference with th e i r cree d.

Ile did not think th e taoo tions which would come before the Commissioned f the in any degree affect or interfere with the faith c people. tisf sc- Sir R. PEEL said he had heard with great st4 aitable tion the speech of the Noble Lord----a speech er, e ;e stP to him, and just towards the intentions of her Ns} in ti ' Government. Her Majesty's Government wer e o ill e enced by no desire whatever in bringing this ln e d i d forward, excepting a wish to correct that which c o , understood had been complained of by the Ronni r e A iD tholic population of Ireland, and to correct a der''' he the present law in respect to Roman Catholic a id quests. (Hear, hear.) He thought he sy fie o/ give the Noble Lord an explanation with r e l sr ble to this measure, which would con fir m the . 1 . 4 0 Lord in the impression which he had exPr es ol with that manliness and frankness so consistent in 0 0 on all occasions, whenever he was called on to gl l t aiio opinion ; and so consistent also with the real facts T h i s g case.
