FROM THE EVE:caNG PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The statement of Lord Aberdeen, made last night in the House of Lords, in reply to a question by the Marquis of Clanricarde respecting the extraordinary proceed ing at Otaheite, is well deserving of notice. The Noble Mar quis observed, that what had fallen from the Right Hon. Ba ronet at the head of her Majesty's Government, in another place, was doubtless known to their Lordships : " still, as their Lordships ought not to be dependent for information on such re ports, and as the subject was certainly not unworthy of further notice, he would ask his Noble Friend, the Secretary for Fo reign Affairs, whether any reparation had been made for the outrages to which he had alluded ; and, if not, whether any measures had been taken to obtain it ?" The Earl of Aber deen, in reply to these questions, admitted that " a gross out rage had been committed against the person of a British sub ject; indeed, so flagrant an.outrage that, if he had not re ceived an authentic account of the transaction, it would have appeared to him almost incredible." His Lordship, how ever, seemed to think that Mr. Pritchard, on whom the " flagrant outrage" had been committed, had ceased at the time to be Consul; having, on the dethronement of the Queen, hauled down his flag, and given notice to the authorities that he had ceased to exercise his func tions. The Noble Lord, however, proceeded to say, that though he believed the French Government not only had not directed, but was utterly ignorant of, the acts of its officers, still a proper representation would be made, and reparation demanded in the name of her Majesty, which he had no doubt would be afforded. The Earl of Minto remarked on the insufficient British force at Otaheite, and the blame which our Government had incurred by with drawing the ships stationed there at a time when there was a manifest necessity for retaining them on the station :—" Formerly a proper force was maintained there. Was it true, he should be glad to learn, that latterly we had only had one small ship of war at Otaheite, and that the Government had withdrawn the Vindictive, without taking any measures to supply her place ?" The Earl of Hadding ton was sorely puzzled by the questions put by the Earl of Minto. He was manifestly taken aback ; and knew not whether to admit his ignorance, or essay an ex planation, which might admit too much. We refer to the Noble Lord's successful attempt at mystifica tion. The debate is satisfactory—at least to this extent : it affords a hope that the indifference of our Government has been shaken ; and that something like decision will be shown both in requiring reparation from the French Govern ment for what has taken place ; and in preventing a recur rence of outrages and indignities that have reflected disgrace on Ministers for the apathy they have shown, and which ought to have long since roused them to a sense of what was due to the country. STANDARD.—The Marquis of Clanricarde, in the House of Lords last night, questioned the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs, as to the correctness of the published re ports of the transactions at Otaheite, in March last. The Earl of Aberdeen admitted that these reports were in sub stance correct, speaking in very strong language of the outrage committed by the persons pretending to represent the French Government in Otaheite. His Lordship, however, reminded the House, that in September last the FreriCh commander at the island in question had usurped its absolute Government, not only without, but in flagrant disobedience of, the orders of his superiors at home, that the very moment when the fact of the usurpation became known in Europe, viz., in February last, the King of the French explicitly disavowed it ; that this act of disavowal was approved of by the French Chambers, and that it was necessarily from the impossibility ofa very early commu nication with the antipodes, that the events of March had been permitted to occur. The Noble Lord explained that, as Mr. Pritchard had struck his flag, and of course abandoned the consulate, upon the usurpation in September, he could not be regarded as a British Consul in March, though his right to protection as a British subject must remain. His Lordship admitted that the case is an unpleasant one, and likely to prove quite a godsend to the war parties in both countries, but he expressed a con fident hope that the good feeling and good sense of the French Government will render easy an accommodation of it. In this confident hope we entirely concur. Were the French Government differently constituted from what it is—were it still animated by the spirit of M. Thiers—it could hardly adopt the proceedings of d'Aubigny and Bruat, or decline to do justice either by reprimanding these persons, or leaving them to be dealt with by the Queen Pomare and her subjects and allies. The French establishment of an ab solute sovereignty in Otaheite has been clearly acknowledged to be an act of usurpation ; to sustain the acts of that abso lute sovereignty would be retrospectively to sanction the original usurpation. i 914 COURSE OF EXCHA. 6 Amsterdam CF. 12 44 1 89 Ditto, at sight l2 11 15 % Rotterdam 2U. 12 5 27 42 Antwerp 25 90 5% Hamburgh M.B. 13 13/ 16 Altona l3 13 1 . 6 , Paris, 3 days' sight 25 60 " Ditto, 3 months 25 85 40s.

There was no gaoler; they were visited by the beadle in the morning and the evening, and there was no power of procuring assistance in cases of sudden illness. The shortest time of im prisonment in this place was ten days, but a prisoner might be imprisoned forty days, and again detained upon a fresh execution.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Ile would not disgust the House by going into further details, but he submitted that such a state of things called for an immediate remedy, and it was much better, in his opinion, to abolish imprisonment for small debts than to attempt to remedy the defects of these goals, for he regarded the principle of the law which allowed im prisonment for small debts as indefensible.— (Hear.) If compensation to gaolers were necessary let compene sation be granted, but he trusted the House would not subject the unhappy debtor for six months longer to these horrors. Mr. F. 11. BERKELEY said he had presented a peti tion: against the Bill, but after the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman he felt that he could not support that part of the prayer of the petition which asked that the measure should be delayed.--(Cheers.) He hoped, how ever, that some alter a ti on wou ld b e ma d e i n t h e 36th an d 37th clauses. The House then resolved itself into Committee. On clause 2 being proposed, Mr. SPOONER protested against the abolition of the power of imprisonment merely on account of the im proper state of discipline in small-debt gaols. Those defects might be remedied. The state of the Birming ham gaol was known to the Right Hon. Gentleman in January. Sir J. GRAHAM said that four gaols were all that had yet been examined. He was afraid, that in their main features, all these small-debt gaols were identical. Mr. WAKLEY thought the system of credit most in jurious to the labouring classes. Ile would be sorry to delay the Bill a single moment He had presented a petition from his constituents against the Bill, but be should feel bound to support the measure, even if he were to resign his seat twenty-four hours after.—(Cheers.) Mr. S. WORTLEY Said the Government had not answered the complaint of the Hon. Member for Bir mingham, that the measure ought to have been brought forward at an earlier period of the session. Sir J. GRAHAM said he was not aware of the extent of the evil before the end of June. Mr. BOUVERIE said, that in considering the ques tion of delay, they should be careful to put the saddle on the right horse. He thought great blame was attribu table to a high legal functionary in the other House. Sir J. GRAHAM confessed that he did not under stand the charge. Lord Cottenham took one view and Lord Brougham another, and the Lord Chancellor had to mediate between them. Higher intellects were never brought into contact, and he thought the Lord Chan cellor was quite right in hearing evidence before he de cided upon the course which lie had taken.—(Hear.) Mr. BOUVERIE said, what he had meant was, to blame the legal functionary in the other House who had delayed the first measure introduced in a manner which its proposer had no reason to expect. Clauses 1 and 2 were then agreed to. Clause 3 was postponed. Clauses 4 to 15 inclusive were agreed to. Clauses 16 to 24 inclusive were agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Clauses from 25-to 35 were agreed to without dis cussion. Oa clause 36 being proposed, Mr. HAWES moved that the following words be added to the clause :—" Except it shall be made to ap pear to the satisfaction of the judge who shall try such action, such judge being either a judge of one of the superior courts, or a barrister, attorney, or solicitor, that such debt was contracted by any manner of fraud or breach of trust, or that such defendant has parted with any of his property with a v iew to defraud his creditors or any of them, in any of which cases it shall be lawful for such judge, if he shall think fit, but not otherwise, to certify the same under his hand, and thereupon to order that such defendant may be taken and detained in execution upon such judgment, in like manner, and for such time as he might have been if this Act had not been passed." Sir JAMES GRAHAM asked the Hon. Member to postpone the amendment, as he intended to introduce a proviso that would render it unnecessary. Mr. lIAWES said he would certainly adopt the course suggested. Mr. SPOONER again objected to the partial effect of abolishing the power of imprisonment in small debts, and retaining it with respect to large ones. He was for carrying out the principle impartially and generally, but this they could not now be prepared to do. He hoped the clause would be postponed. After some further conversation the clause was agreed to. Clauses up to 47 were agreed to without opposition. Clause 48 was struck out. The remaining clauses were agreed to. The Chairman reported progress, and the report was received, in order that the Bill might be reprinted and recommitted on Monday, to enable the Government to introduce the compensation clauses. Sir JAMES GRAHAM gave notice that he would move the compensation clauses of the the Bill to-mor row at Twelve o'clock, MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. . A Message from the Lords brought up the Transfer of Licenses Bid without any amendments, and several other Bills. They also asked for a Conference in the Common Law Process Bill, which was agreed to. The Members appointed to hold the Conference then left the House, and on their return Mr. CRIPPS reported to the House that the con ference had been attended by the Earl of Delawarr and certain other Peers, on the part of the House of Lords ; that their Lordships had stated certain reasons for dis senting from the Commons amendments in one portion of the Bill, and had agreed to the other amendments. The HoN. MEMBER then moved that their Lordships' reasons should be taken into consideration on Tuesday next. COMMON LAW PROCESS (IRELAND) BILL. Messengers from the Lords' requested a Conference on the Commons' Amendments in the Common Law Process (Ireland) Bill. Certain Members were appointed to manage the Con ference on the part of the Commons. The Members appointed immediately left the House ; and on their re turn, Mr. CRIPPS reported that the Earl of Delawarr and certain other Peers had managed the conference on the part of the Lords ; that their Lordships had given their reasons for dissenting from certain of the Commons' amendments and had assented to the others. The lion. Member then moved that their Lordships' reasons for dissenting from the amendments be taken into considera tion on Tuesday next.—Agreed to. PETITIONS. Mr. S. O'BRIER presented a petition from Birminz. ham against the Insolvent Debtor s ' Bill. fIUME presented a petition Cotie same effect. Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition from a meeting of seamen of the port of London, complaining of - abuses in the administration of the merchant seamen's funds. CHARITABLE BEQUESTS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. DILLON BROWNE wished to know from the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he would postpone the third reading of the Charitable Be quests (Ireland) Bill till after Monday, for which clay he understood the third reading was fixed. The reason why he asked the Right Hon. Bart. to postpone the Bill was, that he expected a communication from Ireland relative to the Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM said he was very anxious to con sult the convenience of the Hon. Gentleman, but he really could not postpone the third reading of the Bill, as it was necessary that it should be passed as soon as possible. (LEFT SITTING.) THE AUCKLAND STEAMER AND LORD ELLEN BOROUGH.--The steamer Auckland will, we hear, leave Bombay for Calcutta to-morrow or Thursday with the view of conveying to Suez the late Governor-General, and remain at Suez in the event of the New Governor-Ge neral arriving overland at that juncture. We have heard on what we consider to be good authority, that direc tions were given to have the steamer in question in readi ness some days before the arrival here of the London mail of the 6th of May; if so it is evident his Lordship must have " smelt a rat," though in all probability it was not expected to be so near. Under the circumstances of the case we think some other vessel might have been chosen for the sad office of conveying to Suez the ex- Governer-General that the one enjoying the patronymic —Auckland. We understand that one of the great guns taken at Hyderabad is to be sent in the Auckland, to be placed in some conspicuous place in Calcutta.—Bombay Courier. CRICKET.—COUNTIES or BERNS AND Buocs.—This important match, which has created so much sensation in the two counties mentioned, commenced this day (Thursday) in the Brocas, Eton; the county of Bucks having on their side Messrs. Hillyer, Pilch, and Drew, from the Marylebone Club ; and Berks Messrs. Lillywhite, Dorrinton, and Martin gale,, also from Lord's. The assemblage throughout the day was great, and the play, which - was unfortunately much in terrupted by frequent showers, commenced by Berks taking the bat, the whole eleven being got down for thirty-one runs. The odds were then three to one in favour of Buckingham shire, who commenced play with Hyde and Smith ; but the same fatality befel this party, they having on the summing of the score marked only forty-seven, when the wickets were struck for the day. The game will be resumed at ten o'clock to-morrow morning. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME ClRCUlT—Guildford, Aug. 1. The commission for the county of Surrey was opened on Wednesday evening, and this morning, at eleven o'clock, both Courts were opened for the dispatch of business, Mr. Baron Parke presiding on the Civil side, and Mr. Baron Gurney trying the prisoners. The gaol calendar is light, there being only thirty six prisoners for trial, and a great number of these are cases that have been transferred from the sessions to the assizes. The cause list is very heavy, eighty-two causes being set down for trial, of which ten are special iury cases, which are likely to occupy a good deal of time. The business disposed of yesterday was of no public interest OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafforel, July 31. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL). At the sitting of the Court this morning, the case of the Stourbridge Navigation Company against Firmstone, which was appointed to be taken at nine o'clock, was called on, but as only five special jurymen answered to their names, and as a " tales" was objected to, the cause was made a remanet, and the absent jurymen, with the exception •of those -who were detained at home by illness, were fined 201. each. DILTOIst V. LORD GEANvaLE. For the plaintiff were Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., Mr. God son, Q.C., Mr. J. Smith, and Mr. Stammers ; for the de fendant, Mr. Sergeant Wilde, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Whatelev, Q.C., Mr. Ellis (the Attorney-General for the Duchy of Lancaster), and Mr. Somerset.. The declaration in this action was in "case," the action being brought nominally to recover compensation for injuries sus tained by the plaintiff in consequence of the working of eel-• taro mines, belonging to the Crown, of which the defendant was lessee, but as he had admitted the injury complained of, and also that he was the aggressor, the question really at issue was, whether, in fact, there was any prescriptive right, as claimed by Lord Granville, to work the mines in his oc cupation without liability to make compensation for damages which might accrue to any buildings or lands during the pro gress of the excavations beneath the surface of the ground. Mr. KELLY, in opening to the jury the plaintifi's case, said that the subject Matter for their present consideration was one which could scarcely be surpassed in importance by any question which could arise, either between the Crown and a subject, or between man and man; for although Lord Gran ville was the defendant here, the Crown, under whom his Lordship held, was in fact the party to whom the plaintiff was opposed, and, consequently, all that wealth, power, talent, ingenuity, and industry could suggest would be brought forward to prevent what he contended was the vin dication of his rights. The right claimed by the Crown was one to work and excavate the whole of the land com prised in the manor, for the purpose of obtaining coals and iron stone, without restriction, control, or qualification, as close to the surface as might be considered advisable by the lessees of the mine, whether the land above were arable, pas ture, or whether it were covered with houses, buildings, or tenements of any description ; so that eventually all or any of those buildings might, as in the present instance, be brought to a state of utter demolition and ruin. This claim, preposterous as it seemed, drew no distinction between old and modern buildings, the dwellings of the poor or the more magnificent residences of the wealthy. Mansions of all kinds, hopitals, churches, were alike endangered, in whatever portion of the populous manor they might be situated, and yet, as it was alleged, no demand for compensation would be attended to, no redress, no relief afforded, however great the injury to property might prove. The point for the consideration of the jury was simply whether a party-re presenting the Crown was justified in digging in the manner described, without notice, request, or warning, and without making compensation. The right was claimed, too, through.. out the whole manor, under the town of Newcastle-under- Lyne, under a large tract of country, particularly under Shelton and Hanley, consequently the devastation might, if unchecked, extend to every building in those populous town ships, inhabited as they were by more than 20,000 inhabi tants, comprising two churches, nine or ten'chapels, a county infirmary erected at an expense of 22,0001., various manufac tories, residences of considerable.value and beauty—altoge ther to the number of 4,000 houses. On the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's speech, evi dence was adduced to prove the order of the Lord Chan cellor ; the conveyance of the property to the plaintiff's father ; his own accupation since his father's demise ; and, finally, the detriment to which that property had been sub jected by the defendants since the year 1834. The plaintiff's case having thus terminated, Sir T. WILDE made an application to the Court to have the further hearing of the case postponed until to-morrow morning, at nine o'clock. This request was acceded to by the Learned Judge. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Sergeant ATCIIERLEY.) Philip Davis, aged 23, a labouring man, was indicted upon a charge of having attempted to extort money from James Taylor, under a threat of accusing him of havingendeavoured to commit an offence of a horrible description. Mr. Owen conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Allen appeared on behalf of the prisoner. The Learned Counsel for the prisoner declined addressing the jury on behalf of his client, who was convicted, and sen tenced to transportation for ten years. Mr. Godson, Q.C., has been assisting the Learned Judge in the trial of prisoners during the latter part of the day. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, July 31. MERCER if. WHALL.—(Special Jury.) This was an action brought to recover damages under cir cumstances of rather a peculiar nature. Mr. Hill, Q.C., and Mr. Humfrey were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., Mr. Waddington, and Mr. Mellor, for the defendant. The plaintiff is a person between 40 and 50 years of age, and has lived for a considerable number of years in Chester field, where he officiated as managing clerk to an attorney of the name of Thomas, at whose death he passed into the service of a Mr. Richard Gratton, and upon that gentleman's death, the business being purchased by the defendant, he was taken along with it, and the consi deration to be paid was his articles, and a salary of 604 per annum for the five years he would have to serve. This arrangement was come to in the early part of the year 1841. It appears that in the early part of 1842, the defendant on his return from Lincoln, where he had been de tained for a fortnight or three weeks by ill health, thought be had reason to complain of the conduct of his clerk, and shortly after the plaintiff was dismissed from his employ, and lost the other advantages guaranteed to him, and this dis missal was notified in a letter sent by the defendant's bro ther. The grounds of dismissal as set forth in the plea were, that the plaintiff had been guilty of a breach of duty in hav ing combined with ome Joseph Gratton, attorney, living at Chesterfield, to deprive the defendant of the benefit that should result from his purchase of the business aforesaid ; also to induce persons to employ the said Joseph Gratton in preference to the defendant, and also that the plaintiff had personated the defendant, &c. The plaintiff called the Joseph Gratton alluded to in the plea as a witness on his behalf; but on his cross-examination it appeared that Gratton and Mercer had been too intimate, considering the relative positions in which they stood to Mr. Whall, the one being a rival attorney, and the other Mr. Whall's articled clerk. The Learned Judge summed up very carefully, and the jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages, 300/. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Isaac Dakin, aged 22, was charged with ravishing Harriet Hartshorne. Mr. Wildman prosecuted, and Mr. Dennison conducted the defence. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence deferred. ii$ l .PE it 1 L PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, August 1. RAILWAYS BILL. The Earl of DALHOUSIE moved the order for the Committee on the Railways Bill, which h a d p asse d th e House of Commons, an d was read a first and second time in this House. The Noble Lord went at great length into a review of the details of the Bill, and of the discussions which had taken place in the House of Com mons. The principal objection which he had heard against the Bill was, that it was novel and unjust to fix a maximum of profits to any commercial undertaking. But -there was nothing new in that enactment. In the acts of incorporation of water companies and gas com panies a condition was introduced to limit the profit, by which the public were protected against monopoly—the public were in fact great gainers, and the speculators lost nothing. With respect to the travelling of the poorer classes, it was provided that, at least once in every day, and at reasonable times, a train should start, for the convey ance of the poorer classes, at a rate of not more than one penny a mile, with suitable seats, and adequate covering and protection from the weather.—(Hear, hear.) The Bill did not extend t o ex i s ti ng railways, but it was pro vided that whenever the existing companies came before , Parliament for an alteration of their Acts, this clause should be inserted.—(Hear, hear.) The • Bishop of LICHFIELD gave notice for the Bishop of London, who was unavoidably absent, that the Right Rev. Metropolitan would (on the third reading) move an amendment to prevent the travelling by third class carriages, on railroads, on Sundays, Good Friday, and Christmas-day. The House then went into Committee on the Bill, the clauses of which were read seriatim. The House resumed, the report was received, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS BILL. The report of the Committee on the Metropolitan Buildings Bill was received, after a short discussion, in which the D u k e o f B uccleugh and Lord Cottenham' took part. _ LAW COURTS (IRELAND) BILL. On the 'order of the day for the third reading of this Bill, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he still held the objection which he had before avowed to the transferring of the appointment of the officers of the courts of common law, from the judges of the courts to the Lord Lieutenant. The appointment of these officers, prothonotaries, and registrar s an d c l er k s, was in this country vested in the chief justices and the barons of the courts, and he did not see why it should not be so in Ireland. He did not know why Ire land should be put upon a different footing from Eng land.—(Very remarkable cheering.) " For my part," said the Noble and Learned Lord, " I cannot conceive anything more unwise—anything more mischievous— than a law which would place the people of Ireland in a more disadvantageous position, as regards the adminis tration of the law, than the people of England.—(Hear, hear.) I shall oppose this clause. I shall support the amendment of my N( ble and Learned Friend that it be omitted."— (Hear, hear.) Lord CAMPBELL entirely concurred with the Lord Chancellor, and was much gratified to hear his Noble Friend (Earl Fortescue), who had been Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, cheer that excellent speech.—(Hear, hear.) He (Lord Campbell) would move, according to notice, that the appointment should be in the Chief Justices of the courts of law. After a few words from Lord Wharncliffe (who ac ceded to the amendment), the Marquis of Normanb . y, and Lord Cottenham, The debate was adjourned till to-morrow, in order to afford time for obtaining the consent of the Crown to the surrender of patronage. POOR-LAWS. The Poor-law Amendment Act was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Monday. The Joint-stock Companies Regulation Bill was read a second time. Several Bills were advanced a stage, and the House journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 1. CHARITABLE BEQUESTS (IRELAND) BILL. Sir JAMES GRAHAM rose to move the order of the day for going into Committee on the Chari table Donations and Bequests (Ireland) Bill, and said that after having so fully opened this question the other evening, he was very unwilling to trespass on the attention of the House, and yet there were two or three amendments which he was anxious to explain to the House, as having been introduced into the Bill by her Majesty's Government. In the first place, he had to state that it was the intention of the Government to insert words in the Bill by which more than one secretrary could be appointed to the Board of Cha ritable Bequests Commission in Dublin. Considering the vast amount of Roman Catholic charities which would come under the consideration of that board, it had been held to be expedient that more than one secretary should be appointed. Another alteration intended to be made was in the sixth clause. As that clause at present stood it contained considerable ambiguity, and it was proposed, therefore, to insert a proviso to the effect that nothing therein contained should be construed to limit the jurisdiction of any court of law with reference to these bequests. These alterations, however, were of less importance than the alteration which he intended to I PRICE OF 'SUGAR. The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, for the week ending July 30, 1844, is 335. 1 lid. per cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the im portation thereof into Great Britain. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. Lord CAMPBELL moved for a message to be sent to the House of Commons for a conference between the two Houses upon the Commons' amendments to the Common Law Process (Ireland) Bill—The motion was agreed to. SLAUGHTERING OF HOftSES BILL. Lord BEAUMONT moved the second reading of the Slaughtering of Horses Bill, which he said was an amendment of the 16th George 111., commonly called the " Knackers', Act." The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from Sir Harcourt Lees and others against the repeal of the penal laws affecting Roman Catholics. Lord BROUGHAM presented a great number of petitions from individuals upon various subjects, the purport of the majority of which were not distinctly caught in the gallery. One was a petition from Thomas Easthope, Esq., of Lancaster, praying the House to pass a law for the purpose . of preventing R oman Catholic priests from abusing the confidence of dying persons, by extorting legacies for the church. The Noble and Learned Lord presented also a petition from Lord Dundonald, stating that he possessed a secret of a destructive power, surpassing any of the imple ments of war at present known, and requesting to be ad mitted to competition with other inventors. He (Lord Brougham) had been for many years his legal adviser in all matters relating to his patents, and he (Lord Brougham) would say that Lord Dundonald was the only projector he had ever known who did not exaggerate the powers of his own construction The Metropolis Buildings Bill was read a third time and passed. BARBARY STATES—TUNIS. Lord BEAUMONT put a question to the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affitirs, respecting the execu tion of a British subject at Tunis by the Moslem autho rities. Lord ABERDEEN said ,that in the case referred to by the Noble Lord the Maltese had committed a double murder. He had murdered a Tunisian and a Maltese. For the murder of the Maltese the crimi nal was tried by the tribunals instituted according to agreement with the Turkish 'States. But for the other murder he was tried by the Tunisian tribunals. The consuls applied to the Dey to 'delay execution until the opinion of the English Government could be obtained. when the matter was laid before him (Lord Aberdeen), he did not see any reason for interfering. He was con vinced that the execution ought to take place. If it had been left to him to say whether the criminal should be capitally punished or not, it would have been his painful duty to say that he should be punished. This view of the case was not taken by the other powers of Europe. The Swedish and Sardinian con suls had been withdrawn. ut it appeared to him that this only showed that the English consul had more influence and more prudence than all the other consuls of Christian Europe put together. CONFERENCE WITH THE COMMONS. The business of the House was for some time inter rupted by the departure of the Earl of Glengall, Lord Duncannon, and other Peers, to a conference with the House of Commons on the subject of the Common Law Process (Ireland) Bill. TUNIS. Lord BEAUMONT resumed the discussion. He said that he could not give any credit to the Noble Earl opposite for hanging the Maltese.—(A laugh.) If any credit were due to any one, it was to the Bey.—(Hear and laughter.) It 'night be laughing matter to their Lordships, but it was no joke to those Christians whose lives were in jeopardy in the Turkish States. The Earl of ABERDEEN could not guess what the Noble Lord wanted. Her Majesty's Government had taken care that justice should be done in the case of this Maltese. The Bey delayed execution until he consulted the British Government, and the criminal was pro perly put to death.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") If the man had murdered only a Maltese he would have been tried by the Christian tribunal ; but he murdered also a Tunisian, and that crime brought him under the jurisdiction of the Turkish tribunals. The Bey, how ever, showed so much deference to the English Govern ment as to suspend the execution of the sentence until ' he had communicated with her Majesty's Government. Lord MINTO rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. INSOLVENT DEBTORS BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM (in continuation from our afternoon Edition) said—The House would remember the sensa tion which had been created during the present session by the statements which had been made of the horrors of the small debt gaol . of Birmingham. He had caused inquiries to be made into the state of various small debt gaols in the country, and he could not have believed that such iniquities and cruelties could be suffered to exist in a Christian country. The Secretary of State had no control over those prisons, although he might have them inspected. However; much he might be disgusted with the horrors of those gaols, he was perfectly impo tent to remedy the evil he might recommend, for his recommendations were treated with neglect if the alter ations recommended were attended with expens e ; and he was sure the Hon. Member for Man chester, who bad objected to-hurrying forward this Bill, would be the very person who would rather sit a month longer than not remedy these horrors.. Ills attention had been drawn to the state of the small-debt goal in Birmingham in the month of January last, in conse quence of a riot which had taken place in that prison on Christmas-day. He bad sent down an inspector, and his report contained a statement of horrors which he could scarcely have believed to have existed—horrors equal to anything which had been laid open by Howard —and this in Birmingham, which had been cited by the Hon. Gentleman as a case in point why the House should not consent to the abolition of the power of imprisonment for small debts. (The Right Hon. Baronet here read the report in questi on , from which it a pp eare d that the prison consisted of a kitchen and a cellar, situated in a street in Birmingham, and was for the imprisonment of persons whose debts were under 5/. The day-room for poor debtors was a scullery, 18 feet by 14, and 7 feet high. There was a grating on a level with the pavement of the street, and debtors were stationed there to beg; and not withstanding spirits were prohibited, they were hand e d through this grating, and the goaler did not dare to in terfere, lest he should raise a riot which he would be powerless to quell. There was one general dormitory in the attic which was 11 feet by 16, in which were two plat forms extended along each side wall, and on them the prisoners slept ; at one time fifteen persons had slept together on one of these platforms and eight on the other.) The reason of this difference was that the prisoner who had been longest in the gaol was called the king, and possessed several privileges, one of 'which was that he should not be obliged to take more than seven bedfellows on his platform. No medical assistance was afforded to the prisoners in cases of sick ness ; and the had possessed swords, staves, &c., until the recent .riot, when they had been taken from them. The riot had b e e n o ccasioned by the practice of exacting from every prisoner 2s. 6d. on his admission, under the denomination of " chum-money." He had re monstrated with the authorities, and some amendment had been made, but not to a sufficient extent. But did the case of Birmingh a m s t a nd alone ? Far from it. His attention had been directed to the small-debt prison of Kidderminster, and, on the 15th June he had directed an inspector to proceed there. From his report it ap peared that the prison consisted of one room, twelve feet by twelve, paved with brick. The room was des titute of furniture. There was a bundle of straw in the middle of it, on which the prisoners slept in their clothes. There was a yard behind, thirteen feet by twelve, but it was so badly drained that in wet weather the prisoners were confined to the room. They never propose in the 13th cleuse. The louse would re', ' that on a former occa ion he had stated that there was a t ' obvious legal imperfection in the' clause as sent Iron the House of Lords. The clause as it a?! stood fell short of the announced intention of her Majesty's Government, for her 3 4 4 ; jesty's Goverianait had d, clued that it was their No% to give every facility to the voluntary endowment, 13°: only of the dignitaries of the Church of Rome, but tht parochial priests—not only those now in possession , b u d all others succeeding. The clause as it was now fro's. gave effect to the former part of that intention with.la feyence to the now officiating clergymen, but it fa de with respect to those succeeding, and it would, there fore, be necessary to introduce words to remedy tb: d defect. The clause as it at present stood concl ud o with the following words, " in trust for any person 1 Holy Orders in th e Ch urc h o f R ome , an d for build in g a residence for his use, so long as he shall have the v n ' toral superintendence of any district or congregs ti° professing the Roman Catholic faith, or in trust for 1 0 .'1 person in Holy Orders or a higher rank than parocln priest." It was proposed to strike out those buyc and in their stead to introduce the f o llowing:—" Or Archbishop or Bishop, or other person in Holy Order: in the Church of Rome officiating in any district , °, having the pastoral superintend e nce of any congreg s tion professing the Romer' Catholic religion." Mr. HARCOURT VERNON expressed his 504' tion with the alterations which had been made in the .131 „ Lord JOHN RUSSELL was glad to hear the f - a , planation of the Right lion. Gentleman. On reatin this Bill it appeared to him to be a very us el re ti one, and he was sorry to see that there wF A , some words introduced into the measure wh,% e rendered the Bill somewhat imperfect, at e ' n e same time it did not seem to him that the words 0 ", been introduced with any offensive object, and, there_ fore, he was glad to find that the Right Hon. Gentlert intended to propose the alterations which he had su mitted to the House. Ile could not understand W h y they should not plainly mention the titles " Archbishop and Bishop of the Church of Rome." They could not be ignorant that there were Bishops and Archbishops the Church of Rome, and -he could not conceive Wi l t, objection there was to naming them. He was haS.P t i, that it was now proposed to introduce these words. Air I , i , respect to another point, the specifying the Roman Catheeo Bishops and Archbishops as presiding over cer tl ' i s dioceses, lie should not wish to raise that controversy present ; on another question, it might be necesary to acknowledge in the Roman Catholic prelates the antY,„, rules presiding in certain dioceses ; b u t it would be politic to raise the question on this mea s ure, anu e ", would not be wise to have inserted such w o rds in Bill. The measure was limited to certain objects ; t " - facilitating the possession of endowments by Rola Catholic clergymen of Ireland ; and it being conce o 4 in the spirit of justice, he thought it was one which the House would generally agree. Mr. MORE O'FERRALL expressed his satisfact i l at what had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet. g de valued the spirit in which the alterations had been ma more than the alterations themselves. He did not O f to offer any sort of factious opposition to the Bill ; on a measure affecting the religion they professed , . and his Hon. Friends had thought it necessary fa lr and openly to express their opinion upon it. The O'CONOR DON also expressed the satis fse : tion he felt at the modification introduced by the 6 1 1 ° 0 vernment. Havingbeen one of those who voted agains t h a t measure on its second reading, he felt bound to state he had received communications from those whose.° 2 ra pions he was bound to respect, but still he apPre e° : - to highly the improvements that had been introduced ', ll l, the measure. Yet he must confess he thought that Lao ficulties might arise from the interference of 10 19 1, with matters connected with the discipline of the Chu r ` t . Mr. P. HOWARD thought it of the utmost icaP ° J3 i, ance that one of the five Commissioners should be a . shop or Archbishop of the Roman Catholic P l o t Church, but as-he understood it, that concession had $ . 4 , been made ; he trusted, however, that, upon consi e .,7 o , tion, the Government would accede to the proposti He was glad to hear that the making the Catholic el L e ll , of Ireland stipendarie s o f th e G overnment bad „ I v'', abandoned. He thought the p ro p os iti on o f his A P . :,°b. Friend opposite, th a t a ft er th e wor d s "Bi s h o p a nd bishops" should b e a dd e d " th e ot h er dignitaries of t Church," was a good one, and might be well adopted' e s Sir R. PEEL thought it would be more in consonant with the spirit in which the Government had introdn' o , the measure to leave the discretion of the Crown fettered. He trusted the House would adopt the all e '; tions proposed by his Right Hon. Friend, as they 10 eluded the names of the archbishops, and bishops, 9 ,0 clergy, of the Church of Rome. He felt no doubt t 1 : 0 , if the discretion of the Crown was left unfettered, ' hi appointments under the Bill would be made in t oo same spirit that had dictated the introduction of measure. Mr. BELLEW said the alterations proposed by Right Hon. Baronet had taken away the objections had urged th e o th er n i g h t to t h e measure . He that, ' the Bill would now wor k we ll, an d h e th an k e d her X jesty's Government for it. de Mr. F. SHAW said that no objection had been re f to this Bill on the part of the Protestant populati ° ; ° o .o Ireland, and he ce r ta i n ly th ou ght th a t o bj ec tions rano have been more jnstly expect e d fr om th e m than f r ip ° g• those from whom the had emanated th e other eve n • With respect to the proposed alterations, he was e °t 4 t it dined to quarrel about words, although he believe; was rather a new thing to find Catholic Archbishop s scB Bishops named in an Act of Parli a m ent , at leastlfik -1829. Ile believed that the old Board of Chaeitabt, ;r ia, quests had, on the whole, dis c h arge d i ts duty l's" to and that it had given satisfaction even the Reinert Catholic population of Ireland. V 1 ' 4 1 ,1 respi et to an observation made by the ''1" o Lord of the Treasury, he wished to observe, and iel s i same spirit, that, in his opinion, it would be better tu o the Government should be left altogether unfetter ed , to to the appointments. On that ground he objecte%, the second clause, rendering it incumbent on the ' eo f verntrient to hale live persons of one reli g on and fi v hic a another. It was calculated to keep up distinctions W“ had better be forgotten, and it might be found p r of caliy ieconvenielit. Suppose the respectable classor Roman Catholics were to agree not to accept the did peintments ? The measure could not work at all. V e e p. , not object to the fact of ev.in s i x or seven R oma n 0 6 ' 0 , lies being on the board, if they were appointed dl o g spective of their religion, but he objected to fire b e t he appointed by Act of Parliament ; and he thouoht e ie Bill would work bett e r if th e a pp o i n t ments we re b le ; to the hands of the Government. Ile also approved ()bre, suggestion of an Hon. Friend of his, that question s ro d lating to the discipline of the. Chur c h s h ou ld be ret .c . 4 e d to a Committee composed of memb e rs o f th e E s tablis b Church in Ireland. 11 Mr. SHEIL thought that the senti men t s w hic h -. 0 -rir 0 been expreesed by th e Ri g ht H onoura bl e Gentie' t did him great credit ; and he would no t be 05 1 ,0 mental in breaking into the harmonious s pirit W t he pervaded the debate.-- (Hear, he ar .) H e thoughi fl g Government had acted more than wisely in onest these alterations, and that they d e s erve d th e gr e i t t l itair credit for their conduct. It was said it was a were or j, of words, but a principle was ofte n i nvo l ve d in / c he f and by the use of one single expression in this Bill' tot had acknowledged a principle which might her e : R at lead to the most valuable re s ults. Th e y h a d a pree st i• for the use of the term " Catholi c Bi s h o p " i n the e a to mates, in which a sum of 1,0001. was annually l'°, te t he the Catholic Bishop of Quebec, and a s ma ll e r stun '5 0 Catholic Bishop of Newfoundland. B e wisb e bicb majority of Roman Catholics on a Co mm ission v'' o o would have to deal with the property of 13° del Catholics ; and he wished a majority of ecelesia s jo e when the matter to be decided wile of a spiritual or oci trinal nature. The Ri g ht H on . G en tl eman then retv letter from an Irish Roman Catholic Archbishop , ri b i§ stood high in the opinion of men of all parties 1 0 61 a country, and in that letter be said, " I consider tb e o , clause most objectionable, because it gives laymen silo trol over religious matters ; and if the Bill p a ssed,' • taming that clause, it would be consid ere d an i n frig r e t a ment on the Catholic Church." As far as tene p o matters were concerned, he (Mr. Sheil) would hs / „,,, e e 01 objection —nay, he would pref e r a ma j or i ty of laYr„ioo but in ecclesiastical matters he was entirely of theoPed, 11 0- of the Right Rev.
