A second class of the Wokingharn Stakes proved a welcome addition to a list that previou .ly had boasted very slender pretensions ; for this and the other engage ments the fields were large, the sport excellent, and the results favourable to the fielders. The company was quite as numerous as is usually seen on the last day, and the weather propitious. In the course of the morning John Day's objections to Bloodstone, the winner of the New Stakes, were gone into. They were three in number, viz.—that he is more than two years old; that his owner or part-owner is in arrear for stakes; and that his nomination is wrong as to pedigree. The whole ca e turned upon the first point, a-id Messrs. Field and Parry, veterinary surgeons, hav ing, on exatnina!ion of his mouth, unhesitatingly given an opinion that he is three years old (Old England hav ing also been inspected by them, and pronounced to have a two-year-old mouth), the stewards awarded the stakes to John Day. They went into the evidence with regard to the instructions given by Mr. J. Newman, and passed a resolution that Mr. Newman was proved to have given orders to Bell to lose the race, and that the latter's con duct—first in mentioning the circumstance to his master (Planner), and afterwards in riding to win—was highly creditable to him. The consequence of the decision as to the age is, that the bets, as well as the stakes, go with Old England. The races commenced at one o'clock with a Match, 50/ , last half mile.—Lord March's Jewboy, by Mus, 2 yrs, Bst 41b (Rogers), beat Capt. R. Howard Vyse's Trapola, 2 yrs, Bst 41b. 5t02 on Jewboy.

The running was made by Nininka c and Windsor to the distance, where it was taken up by the latter, Isle worth following . him ; half way up Isleworth went in front, and clearing his opponent in a few strides, won easily by two lengths ; the Nininka colt a bad third. Match-150, h ft. Last mile and quarter of the Swin ley Course. Mr. Copeland's Assay, Bst 71b, received for feit from Sir S. Sprv's Bother'em, Bst. The Wokingham Stakes (Second Class) of 5 soya. each.

Marquise and the Slane filly were well up at the finish.

A splendid race with the first, and won only by a head ; Llangollen a bud third. Sealed Match-200 h. ft., Bst 71b each, T.Y.C., both 3 yrs old. Col. Peel's Orlando received forfeit from Mr. Copeland's Imaum. With this race terminated a busy, and, if the receipts at the Grand Stand be a fair criterion, a very successful meeting. Of the manner in which it has been con ducted throughout, and of the anxiety shown by the Mater of the Buck Hounds, and his zealous and most efficient Clerk of the Course, Mr. Hibburd, to promote the comfort 'and accommodation of all who had any business transactions with the meeting, it would be un grateful not to speak in the highest terms of acknow ledgment. We are happy to state, in conclusion, that irrespective of the magnificent gift of the Emperor of Russia, the prospects of 1845 are of the most brilliant description. STATISTICS OF THE ASCOT GOLD CUP. Thursday was the thirty-seventh anniversary of the race for this splendid purse, the gift of Royalty, it having been first run for in 1807, when Mr. Durand was the fortunate winner with Master °lackey. On that occasion there were twelve subscribers, four of whom only started horses, and from that period to the present there have been considerable fluctuations, both as regards entries and starters. In 1835, w hen Earl Jersey won with Glencoe, there were thirty-six subscribers, while nine appeared at the post, and on the pre vious year, when the Earl of Chesterfield carried off the prize, there were twenty-seven entries, and ten started. His late Royal Highness the Duke of York was a winner on two occasions, in 1815 with Aladdin, and in 1821 with Banker. Lord G. Cavendish was the first nobleman that ever bore off the cup two successive years. This was in 1824 and 1825, and with the same horse, Bizarre. Sir Mark Wood was a winner three years in succession, in 1830, with Lucetta (Robinson), 1831, Celus (Robinson), and 1832 Camarine (Robinson). The Marquis of Westminster, likewise, was a winner two successive years, and on each occasion with Touchstone, the celebrated stallion. The Earl of Chester field twice won, in 1834, as before stated, with Glaucus, and in 1829 with Zingaree ; likewise Lord Darlington, in 1823, with 11.1arcellus, and in 1827 with Memnon. Among other noblemen and " sporting characters," well known on " the turf," who have carried off this regal prize with their " high-mettled racers," may be named the Marquis of Exeter, in 1833, with Galata ; Earl Jersey, in 1835, with Glencoe ; Lord G. Bentinck, in 1838, with Grey Momus ; the Earl of Albemarle, in 1843, with Ralph ; Captain Berkeley, in 1839, with Caravan ' • Mr. Pettit, in 1840, with St. Francis ; Mr. Ramsey, in 1841, with Lanercost ; and the late Mr. Orde, in 1842, with the famous old mare, Bees wing. Robin son, the ' celebrated jockey, has ridden the winner of the Gold Cup no less than six times, and three years in succession. CHANCERY.—In a former number of our paper we noticed that a bill had been filed in Chancery of the length of 800 folios and upwards. We are now informed that the answer has been delivered into Court and sworn to. The parchment on which the answer is written consists of the skins of 78 sheep ! and the office copy exceeds 2,500 folios. The answer in the memorable case of "Small v. Atwood" took 60 skins. If suitors can adopt such proceedings, it is very evident that wealth must prevail, and prudent men be driven from the Court altogether. Surely there are honour able members of the profession with sufficient public spirit to weed out such glaring abuses. So long as the dilatoriness of the Court, but still more the present dilatoriness of pro ceedings before the Masters in Chancery, shall be allowed to continue, so long must the Court expect to be a tool in the hands of men who, to the injury of the innocent, merely spe culate on the chapter of accidents by obtaining delay. In the published confessions of the will forgery cases it would appear that Fletcher well knew when to use the threat of a Gun eery suit to aid him in his malpractices.—Times. MR. DUNCAN THE AFRICAN TRAVELLEN.—MF. John Duncan, the African traveller, left town on Thursday by railway for Portsmouth, to embark in her Majesty's ship Cygnet, which sails immediately for the coast of Africa. Mr. Duncan will land at Cape Coast, and from thence his purpoSe is to reach the Niger by the way of Coomasie. Great addi tions to geographical knowledge may be expected from Mr. , Duncan's tried energy and perseverance. He l eav es London I uuder very 'favourable auspices.

THE HOMEWARD BOUND. The following letter from Captain Dotnett, of the Plan tagenet, East Indiaman, has been received at the Jerusalem Coffee-house:— " Off Portsmouth, June 5, 1844. " Sir,—On the 3d instant we fell in with her Majesty's steamer Lucifer, off Scilly, cruising for the relief of the homeward-bound vessels. It being calm I boarded her, and obtained a late newspaper, the extent of our wants. The commander informed me that on the previous day he had supplied a vessel with only one gallon of water remaining on board. After leaving us he stood towards another vessel astern. The Lucifer's decks were covered with pro visions. On the morning of the 4th, four leagues south west of the Lizard saw her Majesty's ship Vincent also cruising." EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

Mademoiselle Dejazet, the fascinating, clever espiegle Dejazet, the favourite, par excellence, of the French and the English public, made her first appearance .here for the season last evening. Who that has ever seen Dejazet does not wish to see her again? What wonder, therefore, that the theatre was crowded .with her ad mirers, who hailed her appearance with a genuine English shout of welcome. She is the same Dejazet as ever, as charming, as fascinsting, as arch, as coquettish, as versatile, and as volatile; and the character she chose for debut, that of Marie in the comedie vaudeville of Madame Favart, affords her ample opportunity for the display of her talents and accomplishments. Marie is a young girl of respectable connections, but in reduced circumstances, who is living with her old father. She is beloved by M. Favart, afterwards the celebrated founder of the Opera Comique, but who at the time in which the action of the play is laid is merely commenc ing his career as a dramatic author.—Marie determines to go upon the stage, and as Madile. de Chantilly makes a most successful debut. The celebrated Marshal Saxe is he': great patron. and' Favart becomes jealous, without reason, as far as Marie is concerned, although the Mar shal is most desirous of being received as her professed admirer. She, however, contrives, by her admirable management, not only to pacify avart, but to get the Marshal to bestow upon him the office of Director of the Opera Comique, and at length, with the Marshal's consent, she becomes Madame Favart. Her acting throughout was exquisite, and her singing beautiful ; and in the course of the piece she appeared in a variety of costumes, all of which set off her personal charms to great advantage. In her peasant's costume she was perfectly bewitching. She was called for at the con clusion, being led forward by M. Rhozevil, who had sup - ported her admirably in the character of Favart She was enthusiastically applauded, and bouquets were showered upon her from all parts of the theatre. Ma dame Favart was preceded by Monsieur et une Dame, and followed by a new vaudeville, entitled La •Polkaen Province, which is one of the pleasantest and most laughable absurdities to which the Polkamania has as yet given rise. The Emperor of Russia takes his farewell a London on Monday morning next. His Imperial Majesty accompanies the Queen and Prince Albert to the Opera on Saturday. The King of Saxony will also be present, and, as we presiime, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will occupy their accustomed seats, the Opera will be honoured with the presence of a Royal Duke and Duchess, a Prince Consort, a King, a Queen, and an Emperor. The Dowager Lady Shiffner, relict of the late Sir George Shiffner, Bart., and mother of the present Baronet, died at Coombe, near Lewes, on Saturday last, in her seventy ninth year. COSTS ON CONVICTIONF. — Thursday a further re turn from the clerks of petty sessions was printed, stating the amount of fees received, number of convictions, and the amount of costs. The costs are very unequally borne; in some cases the costs exceed the amount of the fines imposed, with further costs for sending the offenders to prison. There are instances set forth where the costs are considerably un der the fines, but in others the costs are considerably beyond the fines. At the Cambridgeshire Petty Sessions, a person was fined 6d. for an assault, and the costs amounted to 14s. fid. ; in another case in Berks, the fine was is., and the costs 1/. Os. 6d. At the Gateshead Borough Sessions, for a wilful damage, in which a fine of 21. was imposed, the costs were 3/. At another sessions, for an offence under the Game Act, a fine of 21. was fixed, and the costs 2/. Bs. The return in question was moved for by Lord Worsley, and affords a good deal of information respecting costs of convictions, which has occupied some attention. HER MAJESTYS THEATRE.—Preparations on an extended scale are making at the Italian Opera-house, for the reception of her Majesty and her illustrious guests, who will honour this theatre with their presence this even ing. The three illustrious Sovereigns, with their respective suites, will occupy her Majesty's box, as well as the box of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. We understand that enormous sums are being paid for boxes and stalls, so great is the anxiety to be present on this occasion. His Imperial Majesty having expressed a desire to hear the Barbiere, that delightful opera will be performed, and will be followed by the ballet, Ondine. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—His Excellency the Ame rican Minister and family attended this theatre on Thursday, expressly to witness the performance of Professor Risley and his two infant sons. His Excellency was highly delighted with the extraordinary and graceful performance, and upon its conclusion presented the two little prodigies with a hand some present. This week is the last in which they will ap pear in England, having received a munificent offer from the manager of one of the principal theatres in Paris. ROBBERY OF A POST-OFFICE.--Thursday morn ing information was given that the post receiving -house, near Hoxton new church, had beenbroken into and robbed. The postmaster is Mr. Bray, a hairdresser, who keeps a small shop, No. 2, Haberdasher-place, adjoining the Haberdashers' Arms Tavern, and only five houses distant from the police station of the N division, in Robert-street. Upon inquiry it was stated that the entry had been effected from the yard through the back parlour window, to which there was no fastenings, and the thief had then merely to walk into the shop. where he broke open and abstracted the contents of a small writing-desk behind the counter. Mr. Bray stated that the desk contained about 761., two 51. and a 10/. Bank of England notes in an old pocket-book, and the rest in cash, of which 421. belonged to himself, and the remainder to the Post-office, but unfortunately he had not the numbers or any description of the Bank notes. The letter-box, which was locked, was undisturbed, and the desk containing the money appeared to be the only article in the place that had been touched. There were lodgers in the upper part of the house, and Mr. Bray and his family slept in the kitchen, imme diately under the shop, but not any of them heard any noise in the night, or until six o'clock on Thursday morning, when a paper-hanger, who had some work to do on the premises, found the shop-door a-jar, and walking in, gave the alarm. The back of the house is so surrounded that access could only be had from the yard of the Haberdashers' Arms, or by scaling a high wall surmounted by palisades, and passing over seve ral intervening yards and walls: The robber having appa rently entered that way , and obtained possessio n of the m oney, let himself out at th e f ro nt door. THE SUPPOSED MU RDER A T WIMBLEDON. —Thurs day, at twelve o'clock, Charles Hall, plasterer, of Wimble don, who stands charged with the murder of Charlotte Hall, his wife, was conveyed from the lock-up of Sevenoaks by Joseph Bradley, the superintendent of police, to the offices of Messrs. Austen and Holcroft, the clerks to the local ma gistrates, and placed in the dock, before Mr. Atkins, for re examination, upon a charge of having murdered his wife by suffocation. The evidence, which was taken at great length, was, with some slight exceptions, relating chiefly to threats of violence on the part of the prisoner towards his wife, very similar to that adduced at the inquest on the body, when the jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from na tural causes. At the conclusion of the investigation, Mr. Charnock, who was for the defence, expressed his opinion that there was no nece ss ity f or him to aadress the bench, as he felt satisfied that there was no case against his client. Mr. Atkins, however, said that he had fully resolved upon com mitting the prisoner for trial; and Mr. Charnock, therefore, in an able speech, contended that there was nothing in the evidence which in the least degree tended to establish the charge against the prisoner. Hall was then committed to Maidstone Gaol, the charge against him being for " feloni ously choking, strangling, and suffocating Charlotte Hall, his wife." A BOY BURIED ALIVE. --Thursday afternoon Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Bricklayers' Arms, New North road, Boston, on the body of Samuel Nash, aged five years. It appeared by the evidence that on Sunday afternoon last the deceased went out to play near some houses which are now in the course of erection in Devonshire-street, and only a short distance from his parents' dwelling. Not returning at night, his parents became alarmed, and search was made for him, which proved unavailing, until Sunday evening, when a man named Cooke, recollected having seen the bay on the Saturday playing near a sand-pit, and suggested that as there was a quantity of loose soil which had evidently re cently been formed by the falling in of the bank, the deceased might be buried underneath. The earth was immediately removed, when the deceased was found lying on his backl:- of course quite dead, there being upwards of half a ton weight upon him. Mr. Baker, a surgeon, said death had been caused by suffocation. There was no evidence to show how the ac cident occurred, but it is supposed the child had got into the pit which had been dug for the purpose of procuring sand, and having been u ndermined, had suddenly fallen and buried him beneath. The jury returned a verdict of—" Found dead, apparently f rom s uffocation." THE E,EVIEW AT WINDSOR.—In cogaequence of the extremely delicate and highly interestiM situation of our beloved Sovereign, strict orders were given by the Duke of Wellington, the Commander-in-Chief, that, at the grand review in Windsor Great Park, on Wednesday, no firing should take place until after her Majesty and the infant Royal Family had taken their departure from the ground. By some unfortunate error, however, these instructions were so totally mistaken, that almost immediately upon the Queen appearing in front of the line, her Majesty was received by a royal salute from the artillery on the right flank. This error, as may easily be imagined, was extremely annoying to the Duke, who had imagined that he had taken every precaution to prevent her Majesty from being in the least inconve nienced. 'We are extremely gratified, however, in being en abled to state that the Queen suffered no inconvenience, but laughed very heartily at the "mistake," when informed of it by his Grace.—Post. Another large shipment of horses was made on Sunday last by the steam-ship Antwerpen, Captain Jackson, from the St. Ratharine's-whalf, Tower ; they were animals of great beauty, purchased here by Mr. Francois, a Brussels horsedealer. mongst the passengers to Antwerpwere Lady Hotham, Miss De Trafford, Mr. Spencer de Horsey, and other fashionables. The steamer returned to the wharf yesterday morning, after a favourable passage of only 19 hours.

Lord PORTMAN presented a petition from Somerset, com plaining of the existing fees to clerks of the peace and magis trates clerks. Earl BROWNLOW presented petitions from Yorkshire zgainst any alteration in the corn-laws. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that, on Monday, he should present two petitions on the subject of the law relating to coursing ; and on that day he should put a question to the Government as to whether they would object to any alteration in those laws. The Duke of RICHMOND expressed a hope that the Noble Marquis would postpone his question till Thursday, when he (the Duke of Richmond) should be enabled to lay a cafe of considerable hardship before their Lordships. The Marquis of NORMANBY said he would do so. HOLYHEAD RAILWAY. The Marquis of NORMANBY, at the request of the Earl of Wicklow, postponed his motion for a Committee on this railway till Monday. ENDOWMENT OF SCHOOLS BILL. On the motion for the committal of this Bill, The Bishop of SALISBURY opposed the Bill, on the ground, that the Bench of Bishops had not been consulted upon it. The motion was then postponed (as we understood). VISIT OF THE KING OF SAXONY. At twenty minutes past five o'clock his Majesty the King of Saxony entered the House, and took his seat opposite to the Bench of Bishops, and near to the Woolsack, a chair having been previously placed for his Majesty's accommoda tion. The House was, at this time, exceedingly crowded, both by Peers and strangers. Two ladies were in the House, the lady of Lord Lurgan, and the Noble Lord's daughter. His Majesty the King of Saxony appeared to pay particular attention to the proceedings in the House, but we did not observe him converse with any Noble Lor d, with the exception of exchanging a few words with the Marquis of Londonderry. Shortly after his Majesty entered the House, The LORD CHANCELLOR said he wished to know if the Noble Lord near him (Lord Monteagle), who had a notice on the paper with respect to the corn-laws, would have any objection to postpone it till a future day, as it would be inconvenient to the Government, on this evening, to have it brought on. Lord AIONTEAGLE expressed his surprise at the request which had been made to him. He was perfectly ready either to bring on the motion or to postpone it ; but other Noble Lords might not be in a position to wish for its postponement, inasmuch as the motion had already been re peatedly postponed; and those Noble Lords might complain that he had not acted with firmness and resolutien, if he con sented to postpone his motion. Ho thought there was that which the House ought to consult before private convenience, and that was the public interest. —( Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON was understood to say, that if he had had the opportunity, he would have informed the Noble Lord, that it was the wish of her Majesty's Govern ment that this motion should be postponed. Lord MONTEAGLE said that he would postpone the mo tion, provided it were understood that it should be brought for ward on Monday next. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to say that he hoped there would be no objection to the motion being brought forward on Monday. Lord BROUGHAM said he had come down to the House to attend to the motion of his Noble Friend, and he hoped that the postponement of that motion would not be made a precedent. Lord CAMPBELL thought that all inconvenience might be obviated by their Lordships returning to the old system of meeting at eight o'clock in the morning.—( Hear, and a laugh. ) The Duke of WELLINGTON would have no objection to come to the House at eight o'clock in the morning ; but he thought that Noble and Learned Lords—( A laugh)—who had other business to attend to, and who were younger than he was, would find it very inconvenient to come down to the House at eight o'clock.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He had no objection to Monday, or any other day, for the Noble Lord's motion.—( Hear, hear.) Lord MONTEAGLE said that it would perhaps be as well to postpone his motion till Thursday next. The Gold and Silver Wares Bill was read a third time and passed. The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions from Worthing, Shoreham, and other places in Sussex, in favour of agricultural protection. The Earl of RODEN presented a number of petitions from the north of Ireland in favour of Presbyterian marriages. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 7. ARMY IN INDIA. The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock, and in formed the House that he had received a letter from the Governor-General of India, acknowledging the thanks of the House, which were given on the2oth February last to the army in India. DISSENTERS' CHAPELS BILL. Petitions against this Bill were presented by Mr. Shaw from Ireland ; Mr. Barnard, Deptford; Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Boyd, places in Ireland ; Mr. W. 0. Stanley, Anglesey ; Mr. Tre lawney, from Tavistock ; Sir C. Douglas, tne Earl of Hills borough, from Down; and by Mr. Stafford O'Brien. Mr. BUTLER presented petitions in favour of the Bill from the city and county of Kilkenny, and in doing so said he was now obliged to act as Member for both the city and county of Kilkenny, on account of the incarceration of Mr. John O'Connell. Mr. SHARNI AN CRAWFORD presented petitions in fa vour of the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Kilcoun, Duncormack, and Killog, county Wexford; Donoughcloney and Newtownards, county Down ; Ballymoney, county Antrim ; Raphoe, county Donegal ; Dunshaughlin, county Meath; and Bough, county London derry ; and from the inhabitants of various religious denomina tions residing in Cromlin, county Antri m, and Saiutfield and Ballymullen, county Down ; also a petition from the Blackwater congregation of Rochdale to the same effect. also eight petitions against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill from different bodies of Wesleyan Methodists in Rochdale, signed by upwards of 500 names. R AILW AY S. The Ashton, Staleybridge, and Liverpool Railway B 11; the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Bill; and the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Railway Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. NOTICES OF MOTIONS. Mr. TRELAWNEY gave notice that, on an early day, he would propose to the House a measure for relieving her Ma jesty's subjects of the Jewish persuasion from civil disabilities. Mr. SHAW gave notice that he would move the substitution of a possession of sixty years, instead of twenty-five years, in the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. PARISHES ( SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House on the Scotch Parishes Bill, Mr. DUNCAN M'NEILL said that he thought it right to state what was the object of the Government in proposing this Bill. The Bill did not introduce any new principle into the law of Scotland. It had for its object to facilitate the division of parishes in Scotland. By the law, as it now existed, the patronage of a new parish belonged to the patron of the old one; but where other par ties bore the burden of erecting the new parish church, it seemed but reasonable that some other provision should be made, saving, of course, the rights of the heritors. As the law at present stood, there was not any power of attach ing districts to churches, which had been erected in parishes, without the consent of the heritors. Parties willing to erect churches, and to provide endowments for their supp trt, and for the support of the ministers, had at present no Power to erect them into distinct parishes. There was no power anywhere existing for that purpose. The Church of Scotland at one time believed it had that power, and had exercised it, but when the matter was brought before the courts of law, it was decided, on an appeal to the House of Peers, that the Church had no such power. The pre sent Bill gave a power, in such cases, to attach a district to the church, and to erect it into a separate parish, without the consent of the heritors, who, as they were not called upon to contribute, had certainly no right to interfere capriciously to deprive persons of that religious instruc tion for which they were themselves willing to pay. Some of the petitions against the Bill proceeded upon the erro neous impression that the Bill was intended to give power to certain individuals who had contributed towards the erection of churches, and who still continued in communion with the Church of Scotland,' to take possession of these churches, notwithstand ing the opposition of persons who had likewise con tributed towards their erection, bet who were not mem bers of the Church. The Bill contained no such provisions. The Bill did not seek to make any demands on the public funds. Its object, as he said before, was to give facilities for the division of parishes ; and such being its object, he did not think there could be any objection to going into Committee upon it. Mr. FOX MAULE thought that some necessity should at least be shown for bringing in this Bill, or for legislating on the subjeet at all. He had spoken of disjoining parishes : the first clause of the Bill trenched somewhat on the right of property. He admitted there were some points which created alarm in Scotland, and which were made clear by the Learned Lord Advocate. There was no ob jection to what was proposed with regard to giving the status of • ministers to those who directed the forty churches in the Highlands of Scotland. There was no objection to giving the status of parish ministers to the ministers of great towns. His main objection to the Bill was that it was unnecessary, and therefore he should propose that the Bill be committed that day six months. The amendment having been put, Blr. P. M. STEWART said that this was a far more im portant Bill than its title seemed to indicate. It was one of the most extraordinary and unaccountable attempts at legislation that ever was made in that House. It was, in fact, a Bill fer Church extension, and a Bill for this purpose was introduced at a time when a great secession had taken place from the Established Church of Scotland. How would English Mem bers like to have such a Bill proposed, if a secession took place in England? But more emphatically he put the question to Irish Members on both sides of the House, who had experience of what it was to possess churches without con gregations. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to object to several of the details of the measure. He thought there was a salutary tendency in the law to prevent persons indulging in their charitable propensities at the expense of their successors. There was no precedent for a Bill of this description. Why should they offer these facilities for the extension of a Church which was already much too large for the wants of those be longing to it, while they offered no such facilities to the real Church of Scotland—the Free Church ? They gave permis sion to take lands for railroads—they were now giving per mission to take lands for the purpose of extending the Esta blished Church. How would they treat an application on the part of the Free Church to take lands— VISIT OF THE KING OF SAXONY. At this period of the Hon. Member's speech his Majesty the King of Saxony entered the House. His Majesty occupied the seat of the Sergeant-at-Arms, and appeared to pay great attention to the proceedings. Soon after the King of Saxony entered the House, Sir Robert Peel went up to his Majesty, and entered into conversation with him. No interruption, how -1 ever, took place in the proceedings of the House, and the de bate proceeded as though his Majesty had not been present.] He believed the object of the Bill was to restore Dr. M‘Leod to the status of a parish minister. He had a great respect for Dr. M'Leod personally ; but he made himself exeedingly cond spicuous when the Right Hon. Baronet( Sir R. Peel) visite belief was that Glasgow some years back , and the general the main object of this Bill was to restore this gentleman to the position of a parish minister. Mr. HUME was sorry that this Bill had been chapels had been erected in Scotland within the last eighteen months. It was also contrary to all sound principle, and he thought the object of its introduction was to call off attention from more important questions.—(Laughter. ) lie should g_ive it all the oppositia on in his power. Mr. E. ELLICE, jun., said he would oppose the Bill as nothing less than a confiscation of property.—(Hear.) He had heard nothing ? , to show a necessity for this Bill. There were many churches in Scotland which had no congregations, and it was perfectly unjustifiable to bring in this measure for the support of the deserted Church. Mr. WALLACE could not be persuaded that the object of the measure was not to bring the people of Scotland to think less of their new Free Church than they did. There was already plenty of space, and to spare, inthe churches of the Establish ment, and it wag to the new Chnrch the patronage of the Government should be extended, although he himself was still a member of the old Church. —( A laugh. ) The effect of the measure would be to divide the people of Scotland, and to create dissensions amongst them, upon that very theme, the national religion, upon which they had been so much united. He supported the amendment.—( Hear. ) Sir JAMES GR A HAIM was surprised that the Hon. Gen tleman who had just sat down could say that the Bill was brought in with objects which had not been avowed. The Hon. Gentleman ought at least to give his grounds for that statement.—( Hear, hear.) The principle of the measure was not Erastian—it was a principle which had been always upheld in the Lest times of the Scotch Church. It had been said that a great secession had lately taken place, and as the debate proceeded the number of the seceders seemed to have gradually increased. The Right Hon. Member for Perth had stated them at 800,000. The Hon. Member for Renfrew had increased them to a million, and had added that only a small amount was left in Scotland attached to the Esta blished Church. To that statement he demurred. Although 150 churches had been vacated, they had experienced no diffi culty in providing suitable ministers—( Opposition cheers)—he meant ministers who had been received by their locks without objection, and who were every way qualified for their office. It was only just to the Establishment that every facility should be given fur its extension in large districts, by the subdivison of parishes. In the Highland districts, forty parishes had been erected by the munificence of Parliament, in which the ministers were not able to exercise, their full rights. The present Bill wouuld restore them their rights. With regard to the right given to heriters to burden their lands for the endowment of churches, that right could only be exercised by the authority of a court of law, which could entertain no application for such a purpose except from a majority of the heriters. Had the Honourable Members for Perth and Renfrew continued Members of the Establishment, from which they had seceded, not on a point of doctrine, but of discipline only, they would have supported a measure like the present, and why should they now oppose a measure for the extension of that Church in the doctrines of which they be lieved ? This brought to his mind another inconsistency on the part of the Right Hon. Member for Perth. It was scarcely a fortnight since that Right Hon. Gentleman brought forward a motion fur the abolition of subscription of tests in the Scottish Universities, and yet last night he was found in the course of the debate advocaing the continuance of tests.—( Cheers from the Ministerial side of the House, and calls of " Order, order," " Chair, chair," from Mr. F. Manle. ) He saw how sore the point was with the Right Hon Gentleman who appealed to the Chair, because he (Sir J. Graham) had alluded to a for mer debate. He would bow at once in submission to the Chair, but he must be permitted to observe, in passing, that it was with sorrow he observed how sadly and how speedily the bitterness of religious dissent had operated on the mind of the Right lion. Gentleman.—(Cheers.) His Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Government had given a pledge that every facility should be given to the Established Church of Scotland for the extension of its doctrines. This Bill was the redemption of that pledge. It was upon the prin ciple of that Bill that they were now called upon to decide. The details might be considered in Committee, but, until the House had decided to the contrary, he never could believe that they would reject the principle of such a measure.—(Cheers.) Mr. P. M. STEWART explained. He had stated that the Free Church amounted to nearly a million. He denied that he had designated the Established Church as a remnant ; what he had said was, that the Free Church was the Church of the ma jority, and the Established Church the Church of the law and the minority. Sir J. GRAHAM had to apologise to the lion. Member for Renfrew. It was the Hon. Member for St. Andrews who designated the Established Church as a remnant. [At the conclusion of Sir J. Graham's explanation the King of Saxony quitted the House. 1 Mr. FORBES supported toe Bill. After a few words from Mr. SMOLLETT, The House divided, when there appeared— For the motion .. For the amendment Majority The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On clause 1 being read, Mr. E. ELLICE opposed the clause, on the grounds that it interfered with private right. The LORD ADVOCATE of Scotland supported the clause. Mr. HUME said this clause contained a very important al teration in the present law, and he did not think the Right Hon. Gentleman had adduced any just reasons for making such a change. He had no objections to the endowment of churches, but he was decidedly opposed to members of other persuasions being obliged to pay for the sustainment of doc trines from which they differed. The House should not take the Right lion. Gentleman's ipse dixit as to the necessity for so important an alteration. Sir GEORGE CLERK said, the first duty of the Legis lature was to provide religious instruction for the rapidly In creasing population, and the present Bill was insufficient for that purpose. Mr. I.'OX MAULE opposed the clause. He had cer tainly prepared a similar Bill to the present one in 1835, but it differed in this respect, that he proposed that the pa rishes should be divided according to the majority of num bers ; whereas the Bill of the Government proposed to make the division according to the majority of interest. Under these circumstances, he must oppose the clause. The Right lion. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department, had charged him (Mr. F. :Mule) with inconsistency. Now, he thought the last person to make such a charge ought to be the Right Hon. Baronet himself.—( Hear, hear.) The man who wrote " Corn a nd Currency" and who now sat as the supporter of the agricultural interest, ought to be very cau tious in charging another with inconsistency.—( Hear, hear.) In a celebrated caricature publication of the day, the Right Hon. Baronet was represented as receiving a deputation from the distressed thimble-riggers.—(Laughter.) One of these thimble-riggers was made to ask the Right Hon. Baronet if he had any objection to allow the game of round-about ? and the Right lion. Gentleman replied, " Oh, no, for I have pa tronised round-about all my life. '—( Great laughter, in which Sir James Graham joined.) The Right Hon. Baronet should be careful how he made a charge of inconsistency against another.—( Hear ) Mr. FORBES supported the clause. This Bill was intended to supply the spiritual wants of the poor, and as such he sup ported it. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that however he and the Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite might differ with respect to many points, at all events they were agreed as to the principle of the clause, which, in point of fact, was founded on the doc trine laid down by Dr. Chalmers himself. The Right Hon. Gentleman was ready in the year 1835 to go a great deal further than the present Bill proposed to do. The whole question really resolved itself into this—either conformity with, or dissent from the Established Church of Scotland. Mr. FOX MAULE denied that they were then discussing the principle of the Bill. Mr. COLQUHOUN defended the clause. Mr. HUME was quite willing to support any measure for providing religious accommodation for the people; but he was convinced that their physical wants were the great causes of the crimes. Let the Legislature turn its attention to the removal of these, and there would be little occasion for interference in other matters. Mr. COLQUHOUN would not deny that an improvement of their physical condition would tend to improve their morals, but he did not think that was an argument against religious improvement. Mr. P. M. STEWART considered the Bill perfectly use less, and wondered how it got into the House.—( A laugh. ) After a desultory conversation, strangers were ordered to withdraw. The Committee then divided, when the numbers were— For the clause Against it 2O Majority Clause 4 was agreed to, after a short discussion. Clause 5 was agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Clause 6 was agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Clause 7 was agreed to. On clause 8 being proposed, which enables persons who have life interests to give four acres for sites for glebes, Mr. F. MAULE said he should object to the clause. He thought it most objectionable that those who had only life in terests should have the power of burdening the property of those who were to come after them, by leaving four acres for sites. He thought that an acre and a half would be quite sufficient. Mr. WALLACE would also oppose the clause. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Committee divided, when there appeared -53 For the clause Against. ........... . Majority . for the 17_ 3 Agai 6 The clause was then agreed to. On clause 9 being proposed, Mr. FOX MAULE said, that unless the Right Honour able Gentleman, the Lord Advocate, consented to extend this clause to all churches, he should avail himself of all the forms of the House in opposing it. This clause was similar to the last, but it applied to endowments generally, and was therefore far more extensive. Sir E. COLEBROOKE said he objected to the whole Bill, because it was conceived in the narrowest spirit with respect to the present religious state of Scotland. Mr. F. MAULE proposed an amendment, providing that heirs entail should have a voice in making the endowments. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. BOUVERIE said he should oppose the clause, unless it were extended to all religious denominations. The suggestion not being agreed to, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it Majority for the clause ......... --41 The clause was then agreed to. On clause 10 being proposed, Mr. ELLICE, jun., said he should oppose the clause, be cause it was in fact an additional endowment of the Church of Scotland. After some conversation, the clause was carried without a division. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be received on Monday. SALMON FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday next. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Ten o'clock.

COURT OF COMMON COUNClL.—Thursday a Court was held for the dispatch of business. Mr. Ashurst moved that a report which has occasioned much conversation in the c ity, relative to an increase of salary to Mr. Bullock, for his services as Judge in the Central Criminal Court, be adopted. The report recommended that the salary of Mr. Commissioner Bullock, as Judge of the Central Criminal Court, should be increased by 4001. per annum. Eventually, after a long dis cussion, the sum of 2001. a year was added to the 5001. which Mr. Bullock is allowed as Commissioner of the Central Court, making his whole receipts as Commissioner, and as Judge of the Sheriff's Court, 1,000/. per annum. A VETERAN PLOUGHMAN.—III the parish of Kirk oswald, there lives at present a "brawny ploughman chiel," who, during the last and the present century, has perhaps prepared as much land for the reception of the seed, as any living ploughman in "braid Scotland." This "hardy son of rustic toil," although in the 77th year of his age, ploughed, (luring the course of the last pleuch-time, upwards of thirty Scotch acres; and he is still ready, with a pair of " g-ude naigs " to "put his hand to the plough , " and , w ithout looking back, will undertake, for two or three days, to turn over as much land as any of his more youthful competitors. —Ayr Observer.

A Court of Sewers for the city and liberty of West. minster and part of the county of Middlesex, was held yesterday at the Sewers'-office in Greek-street. The Chair was taken at Twelve o'Clock, by T. L. Donaldson, Esq. The Court, having disposed of the greater portion of the routine business before it, proceeded to the conside ration of the subject of sanctioning the order of the 28th May, for arching , over about 1,000 feet of the King's Scholars' Pond Sewer, Mr. Thomas Cubitt agreeing to construct one moiety at his own expense, and to build the remainder at 21. 12s. per foot run, making the cost to the district about 1,3001. Mr. LESLIE, at some length, opposed the proposition, and moved, as an amendment, that Mr. Rennie and Mr. Tredgold's reports, together with a previous Committees' reports as to the line of the King's Scholars' Pond Sewer should be reprinted and sent to all the Com missioners, and that the propositions for improving that sewer should be considered at a Court specially sum moned for that purpose on some early day—the Court to sit at ten o'clock. The amendment was lost by a majority of four, after some discussion, there being eleven hands held up for the amendment, and fifteen against. The original motion was declared to be carried by a majority of fourteen. The next business the Court proceeded to consider was, to receive the reply of Mr. George Bird, contractor, to the notice sent to him by order of Court, relative to the failure of portions of the main sewer built by him in Gloucester•road, Paddington. On the matter being called on, Mr. GAIIROD, a solicitor, stated that he appeared as the agent and solicitor of Mr. Bird. Some discussion arose as to whether Mr. Garrod could be hoard till Mr. Bird had sent in a written reply. It was, however, determined by a majority of the Court, that he should be heard. Mr. GARROD then proceeded at considerable length to address the Court on behalf of Mr. Bird. He con tended that Mr. Bird had performed his contracts strictly; that the materials and workmanship be had employed, had never been complained of by the sur veyors of the Court or their clerk of the works; that the accidents that had taken place were caused by the form of the sewer, and not by bad materials or bad workmanship ; and that, under such circumstances, the Court was not in a position to call upon Mr. Bird to remedy the defects in the sewer. He also defended Mr. Bird against the statements made by Philips, one of the clerks of the works, and asserted positively that Mr. Bird, in stead of doing less, had done more work than ho was re quired to do by his contract. lie was satisfied that the Court had come to the decision they had done without mature deliberation, and he, on Mr. Bird's behalf, was willing to abide by any judgment the Court might come to after it had fully weighed the case. If the Court de termined that the accident was caused by the fault of Mr. Bird, he was willing to do all in his power to put it in repair ; but if the Court, after due consideration, de termined it would not act as judge and jury, Mr. Bird was willing to submit the case to any Court or any in dependent gentlemen. Mr. GAnnoe, on being called upon to give, on a future day, a written answer for Mr. Bird, said that he could do so in three minutes. The answer was—that Mr. Bird asserted that he had done the work according to the contract, and was not liable to make it good. After some further discussion, the further considera tion of the question of Mr. Bird's reply was adjourned till Tuesday week, at twelve o'clock. The Court then adjourned. INGENIOUS ROBBERY.—About six months ago two men, named Bovington and Andrews, were convicted of a robbery at the copper-mills at Esher, belonging to Lord Hotham and Sir George Berkeley. It was at that time sup posed that a man named Reuben Hunt, who was an engineer and a manager of the mill, had some knowledge of the rob bery, but he absconded, and it was only a few days ago that police -constable Rogers, of the D division , happe ned to see him in Piccadilly, and, knowing the circums tances, took him into custody. Two examinations of Hunt ha ve taken place before the Kingston magistrates, and upon those occasions some curious circumstances were elicited respecting the rob bery. In consequence of the individuals who had rented the mill of Lord Hotham having become bankrupts, the mill had been shut up, but one of the persona already con ' con victed was placed upon the premises. By an ingenious . trivance, the brass screws were taken off the paper presses, and also a quantity of brass from a large water-wheel. All the cavities were tilled up with clay, which was rubbed over with brass filings, so that the casual observer could net detect the change, and it was only pon close inspection that the c rake was detected. o less than 1481bs of brass was taken from the presses, and although the metal as old brass could not be very valuable, yot th e presses in their original state coat a good deal of money. It appears that great confidence had been placed in Hunt, and before the discovery of the robbery Mr. La • c oste, the agent of Lord Hotham, offered to recommend him stron gly , as an engineer. A solicitor,. who attended before the magistrate on the part of the prisoner, endeavoured to show that the property did not belong to Lord Hotham, but to the creditors of the late lessees, and therefore that the question must be decided in a superior court. The magistrates, howev er, overruled the objection, and a great many deposi tions were taken, preparatory, as it was understoo'd, to the committal of Hunt for trial. CASUAL LABOURERS or LONDON.—At the present seasop no less than 600 to 800 hands are temporarily employe at Covent-garden market in shelling peas.
