Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of con- Sidering an address to her Majesty on the birth of a Piince. Although the season of the year was parti cularly unfi . iyourable to the assembling of the mem bers of the Corporation, the . Lord Mayor had not 6 e't in th e chair four minutes when it was an neUneed that a Court was made. Strangers having been ordered to withdraw, Alder taaa Eleow N moved, we were given to understand, after a few words expre-sive of the hitt gratification the Court telt at the happy event whien more fully secured the hope of a long succession to the present Royal Family, that a humble and dutiful address be presented to her Majesty on the subject —(Cheers.) Sir PETER Littem seconded the motion, a ilia was carri. d amidst acclamations. An address was t ,,,hen draw n up an d unan i mous ly agreed to. The Wirt :was then opened. A SERIOUS NUISANCE. The inquest jury of Aldersgate-ward made a formal presentment of a whalebone manufactory kept at No. 69; Aldersgate, by a Mr. Westall. The pre • sentment described the nuisance as altogether odious %rid intolerable-. • Mr: GonsoN- (the Deputy of the ward) addressed the Court upon the subject. He believed the laxity i „, Wh l c h,had marked the conduct of the authorities in -- " r u. to Puddle-dock, and other dreadfully offensive sinks of the City, was occasioning, a total disregard, is it would appear, of the health and comfort of the inhabitants .of the City elsewhere. He was so unfor %nate as to live next door to 'the whalebone manu factory which excited so much disgust, and the neigh bours • actually thought that he fancied and he fa l•ftred the offence, as he was not for ever crying Out against .it.—(A laugh.) He had witnessed the' meat markets - =in their worst ' condition, but the s tench of the worst of them, at the worst of seasons, ( tas nothi ng compared with the stench arising from "working of the whalebone.

It happened that this business was extremely lucrative, the last • resident having retired, after having, in a few years, realised 100,0001. by stinking the ward, so that un less the Court would use its powerful authority to cause th e removal or abatement of the nuisance, there Would it remain, a perpetual source of annoyance. The REcoenxii intimated that the' best course Would be to indict the manufactory as a nuisance. That th e not parish co u ld do. i r ti • P. LAURIE (the Alderman of the . ward) said exce t the P wish to interfer e in any matter . of the kind, occeson seamed to him to be very pressing. He certai n l y nuisance allud e d had heard o f th e o ff ens i ve na ture of the to, and he believed it would not be easy to fi n d in the whole list of villainous smells any co producing a more intolerable effluvia. that The RECORDER asked whether it could be proved _ _t e stench was prejudicial to health? occa.Mst..

On Thursday a splendid entertainment was given to Sir Robert Peel and others of her Majesty's Minis ters, by the Cloth-workers` Company, at their hall,• which was fitted up for the occasion with great mag nificence. Amongst the company were Sir R. Peel, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Lord Granville Somerset, the Earl of Lincoln. Sir George Murray, the 'SOlici= tor-General, Lord Eliot, Mr. J. M. Ga..skell, and Mr. A. Pringle, Lords of the Treasury, Viscount Can ning, Mr. G W. Hope, Mr. Emerson Tennent, Cap tain Fremantle, Mr. J. R. Bonham, Sir Knight Bruce, the Attorney-General for Ireland, Commis sinners Fane and Goulburn, Mr. J. Young, M.P., Mr. T. Green, M.P., Mr. J. Masterman, M.P., Mr. G. Lyall, M.P., Mr. H. Keinbie, M.P., Mr. J. Trots ter, M.P., Mr. John Waiter, the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, Mr. Sheriff Moon, Aldermen Lucas, Brown, Sir Peter Laurie, Sir John Pirie, Farebrt. ther, Humphery, Farncomb ; the Governor and the Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, the Chair man and the Deputy-Chairman of the East India Company, Sir F. Trench, Colonel Gurwood, Captain Peel, Archdeacon Hollingsworth, Sir G. De H Lar . pent, Mr. B. Dobree, Mr. J. C. Bever, Mr. Under sheriff Anderton, the Master of the Merchant Tailors' Company, Mr. R. L. Jones, &c. Mr. Sheriff MusGeove. the Master of the Company, presided. The health of the Queen was proposed, and drank with an enthusiasm which it was impossible to exceed, and the Master congratulated the country upon the promise of a long succession of the descen s dants of the present Royal Family. The usual loyal toasts, " the Queen Dowager and Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family," were also distinguished by great applause. The MASTER, in proposing "-the Army and Navy," stated that he and his brethren were honoured by the company of Sir George Murray, a gallant veteran of the first of those services, and by the company of Lieut. Peel, a distinguished young officer in the naval service of her Majesty.—(Loud cheers.) Sir GEORGE MURRAY returned thanks for the army, and said it was exceedingly gratifying to him to he associated with his young friend, who would no doubt in .due time realise the high expectations entertained of him in the important branch of service to which he belonged.—(Loud cheers.) He - was convinced that, never at any time was the army better prepared, or more determined to keep up the character which it, had achieved, by so many victories.—(Cheers.) He was sure it would never lose that character, or the efficiency for which it had been celebrated, so long as it continued under the superintendence of the illus trious chief who was so deservedly at its head— (Great cheering)—and who had no less claim upon his country for the patriotic virtues he had exercised in peace, than for those military, achievements which had shed so great a lustre on his name.—(Cheers.) Lieutenant Peen rose amidst great applause, and said, I am too young to say much, but I hope my conduct will justify that which has been said of me, and I thank you heartily for having drank my health in so enthusiastic a manner.—(Cheers.) The MASTER, in a brief speech, proposed the health of Sir Robert Peel, and the rest of her Majesty's Ministers. Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was his duty, on the part of his colleagues and himself, to return their most grateful acknowledgments for the kind and fla•tering manner in which the company had received the pro posal from the chair. Many of his colleagues were absent, deeply to their regret, but they, were detained by the necessities imposed upon them by their duties in. both Houses of Parliament.—(Cheers.) The Master had said that in entertaining her Majesty's Ministers they were reverting to their former con dition. He trusted that they would long persevere in that good old habit—(Laughter)—that after the revival of that excellent custom they would continue to entertain the Ministers of the Sovereign, and that the present Ministers would long continue to meet them at their annual festival, and profit by the hos pitality of which they had that day witnessed so magnificent a specitnen.—(Laughter and cheers.) It happened that the first day on which he and his colleagues enjoyed the pleasure of meet ing the Ciothworkrs' Company was the last day of the session, and he was therefore exempted from the necessity of making along- speech ; but he cauld not refrain from returning his and his colleagues'acs knowledgments to a Company so remarkable for high standing, and so conspicuous amongst the great Companies for the appli :talon of its ffinds to purpose's . of benevolence and charity.—(Loud cheers.) The Master had done no more than justice to her Majesty's Ministers in attributing to them the endeavour to accomplish good. They had endeavoured to maintain peace, without compromising the hanour or sacrificing the interests of the country.—(Cheers.) They had attempted to uphold the high character which the British army had achieved, and to repair the disasters in the eastern hemisphere. They hail endeavoured to maintain tranquillity, without having recourse to the harsh enforcement of the existing laws, or requir ing new enactments.--(Applause.) If they had made these efforts—if they had endeavoured to succeed in maintaining the public credit, and in averting the evil of an increasing debt in times of peace, it would be for that company to judgewhether the result was wor thy of their intentions. It was now three years since the present Administration had been appointed. It was for those whom he addressed to say, if, during that period, the law had not been vindicated and sus tained, if-commerce had not been extended, if manu facturing prosperity had not been restored, if the re ventue had not been increased, if there did not exist a prospect that the currency would be henceforth placed on a safe and permanent basis.—(Hear, hear.) If such were the impressions of the company, their ap probation conveyed to her Majesty's Ministers a feel ing which, next to that of the honest approval of their own consciences and of her Majesty,, was, the highest encouragement to them to Continue their exertions kir the public good.—(Cheers.) • The MASTER next proposed " Prosperity to Ire:. land," a toast which the Clothworkers' Company hid , been always in the habit of drinking. They felt deep interest in the good of Ireland, as well on account of the people, as on account of the large froperty owned by the Company there.—(Cheers.). The Master then spoke at some length of the labours of the Com pany for the good of their - Irish tenantry. Lord ELIOT, in responding to the toast, said he was sure the time was not far distant when the people of Ireland would learn to value the motives and inten tions of his Right Hon. Friend.—(Cheers.) Several other toasts were proposed and drunk, and the evening was spent with real civic hilarity. nearly 10,0001. 2—Not THE AFFAIIt I :4T . OTAHEIT E.

The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and the Earl of Dalhousie. Their Lordships resumed business at Five o'clock. . The BishOp of LONDON presented a petition from the Protestant Operatives Society of Dublin,: against the repeal of the penal laws affecting Roman Catholics. - • The Marquis of CLANRICARDE . presented s peti ,tion from: Newcastle, complaining of : . the present law of settlement as affecting' Irish persons . settled' in England. The petition set forth • the : 'case of an : Irish/Von:ism, Who was " - married at Newcastle to -a native of the' same .part of . the United . Kingdom, and .who having _lived with her husband seventeen Years, was deserted by him.. .The parish authorities transported hi.T and her four children (the latter having been born in Newcastle), to 'lreland as Irish paupers.— (Heir, hear.) The Noble Marquis hoped•that the mea sure announced in. the other. House. by the. Secretary of of State fOr the Home Department, respecting the law of settleinent; would extend to such caseA'as.this.—(Hear.) COMMON-LAW COURTS (IRELAND) BILL. LOrd WHARNCLIFFE called the :attention .of the House.. to the ComMons', , amendments on this Bill; to which he recommended their Lordships to agree. The LOR D'CHANCELLOR said, that by the com mon law, the appointment of ;the pro'thonatarles and other officers was vested in the judges. In some cases in England and Ireland, prescription had superseded the common' law. Some office in the courts of: law in Eng land were held by women.—(Hear,„hear, and -a laugh.) It would. be most- unwise and unjust to deprive the Irish judged, of a patronage which was possessed, by the English judges.—(Hear, hear.) He would oppose the recommendationof his Noble Friend (Lord Wharn cliffe), and would vote that, the . House should not agree to the amendments of the Commons, which would -give the appointrneet of those .offices to-the Lord Lieutenant. Lord CAMP.BE,LLtwas greatly.plessed with the ob servations ...of Noble ; and .I,earnedaFrjerul-ip . the woolsack. He (Lord-Campbell) had, moved.- an amend ment on the third reading of . the to which their LOrdshipi - aireed without the slightest oppositiOn. The Lord Chencellor.gave the amendment his most strenuous support. The Lord President tf the Council - did not oppose it; but he asked their Lordships to give him time to consult the law officers of the Crown, as to the effect of the amendment. The Bill was I sent back from the Commons with amendments, which superseded his amendment, and gave the patron age of those offices to the Lord-Lieutenant and not to the judges, who ought to possess it-making thus a de grading distinction between the Irish judges and the English. He put it to their Lordships whether the judges or the Lord-Lieutenant were best qualified to determine who was the fittest person to fill an adminis trative office in the courts of law ? In this case he had the support of the Lord Chancellor, who was looked up to by the Government and Noble Lords oppo site as a sort of oracle.—(A laugh.) It was very well that this was not a Bill of his (Lord Campbell's). If it had been, he could not have expected the same sup port.--(Great laughter.) The Earl of WICKLOW thought that their Lord ships ought on such a question to be -governed by the opinion of the Lord Chancellor, although the representa tives of the Government were professedly opposed to it. The President of the , Council recom mended the House to agree to the amendments of the Commons, from respect to that House. 'He wished to treat that House with all possible respect ; but he must in this case put it to their Lord shipsl to consider that the House of Commons now —at ' this moment—was merely an assemblage of a few sup porters of the Government, who remained in town for the dispatch of Goresinmerit business.-- , -(Hear. and a laugh.) The present period warnot one in which It would be wise to aggrieve the Irish judges, or to give the Irish people any reason to think that the united Parlia ment was not disposed to de justice to•lreland. The Earl of HADDINGTON said, that to hear the speech of his Noble Friend (Lord Wicklow) any one might think that the amendments of the Commons affected vitally all the great questions at issue between the parties which distracted Ireland ; but in fact there was no discussion' raised upon the subject by the Irish Mem bers in the other House. - case of Mr. O'Connell.

The Earl of HADDINGTON said that there were Members for Ireland in the House quite enough to raise debates, if they thought the people of Ireland cared a straw whether the Judges or the Lord-Lieuteaant should have the patronage.

On the order of the day for the further consideration of the Commons' amendments upon this Bill being read, Lord CAMPBELL opposed the amendments, and moved that they be taken into consideration that day three months. After a few words from Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the motion of the Noble and Learned Lord was agreed to, and the Commons' amendments were rejected. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved.an address to her Majesty,. praying . that her Majesty would take measures for carrying into effect the recommenda tions of their Lordships' Committee respecting the progress of the building of the Houses of Parliament. Lord CAMPBELL ,hoped that the address would be as stringent as possible ' otherwise the House.would not be ready for: their Lordships within seven years.— (Hear, and a laugh.) Their Lordships would be con demned to do their work in " this miserable dungeon," whereas the Commons had as good a house as could be desired for space. ventilation, and every accommodation. The Earl of BESBOROUGH said that it was only justice to Mr. •Barry to say that, when that architect prothised that the House of Lords could be completed in two years, he expressly stated that he meant two years from the formation of the coffer-dam. The Earl of Vicitiow and Lord SITDELEY agreed with the Marquis . of Clanricarde, that the delay of the buildings was inexcusable. Lord MONTEAGLE thought their Lordships ought to insist 'upon the building being completed without delay. He did not think that it was pecessary (with the simple habits of this country) that the buildings should be delayed' until our artists learned. fresco-painting.` • Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that it could not be de nied that the last exhibition in fresco-painting had been very unsatisfactory, and that their Lordships could not wait until our artists acquired perfection, in that depart inent.—The motion was then agreed to. POST-OFEICE INQUIRY. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked tOether or not the .Government - had come to a determin tieri as to altering the law respecting the opening of letters in the Post-otfice? . Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that her' Majesty's Go vernment had not yet had time to onsider the report of the Committee.on this subject.. . - • . The Marquis of LOND ONDERRY presented a peti tion from hawkers and pedlars in the county of Durham, complaining of the tax upon their licensee. The LORD CHANCELLOR said ,that the petition could not be received by their Lordships, as it related to L a tax. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH and other . Lorda brought up, from a conference, the Commons' reasons for dis sent to the Lords' amendments on thiseßill. Other. Peers brought up, from conference, the Com- ruens'igreement to the Lords' 'amendments on the Irish Fisheries Bill and the Art-Unions Bill. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord,CAMPBELL begged to ask of the Noble Duke, or the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack— • The LORD CHANCELLOR—I.never answer ques tions..-(Laughter.) . Lord CAMPBELL only asked a . question as to the adjournment of House. , • The LORD CHANCELLOR—If you ask that ques tion it will get up a debate.—(A laugh.)
