,ss lir. .1 .1. , NM' ! asked the FUght Honourable Baronet .r of the present position et the affairs of New Zea'and • Sir R PEEL sa;d that this was not the time to enter into a discussion of that subject. If the Honourable Gentleman was desirous to open ep the matter afresh, he would h ave an other opportunity for that purpose. Mr. HOPE said that the present vote had nothing to do with the matter to which the H o ,,nurable Gentleman alluded. Mr. ROEBUCK said that this was the last colony which should be dependant upon them' for support. If a little care were taken in its management, such a vote as the present would be altrefether unnecessary. It would be able to maintain itself. vrqul , l recommend, in New Zealand, shst he would call a politics survey by properly appointed per-ons, and in every district so surveyed, a power to be granted to every one, whether white or black, to register him-elf, with the view of voting, and when the country was so parcelled out into counties, and not into states, he would recommend a general representative sy-tem. Let not this grz.at question resolve itself into a petty squabble between the Colonial Government and the New Zealand Company, but exercise a broad and comprehensive principle ; and then there would be an end to those painful discussions which had lately occupied the time of the Ilou , e. Mr. H UNIE said that the way in which our colonists had b.er► treat. d all over the world required that Parliament should pass ,sn'Aet deatring what . rights should be enjoyed by the seitlrrs in our colonies. He recollected the high hopes ...„ that were excited, a few years ago, when that colony was first settled, and he was mach grieted since to find the evils which had clouded them, and disappointed so many. All the mischief, all the petty quarrelling and division in the culnny had arisen from the meddling of the Horne-office. He thought that no good could take place until the rights of tit: , colonists were properly defined, and a settled form of go vernment conceded. The United States of America managed their colonies in a different way. When they colonised a tract of country, they had it surveyed and mapped out, and the set tlers had a valid title given to them to the tracts of land allotted. Had this been done in New Zealand, a great deal of the evils which had overtaken that colony would have been avoided. He implored the Right Hon. Baronet to interfere and make a pro per settlement of the question, as nn one trusted the Noble Lord at the head of the Colonial department. He alone was able to do it, and restore the colony to a state of prosperity and security. He called upon the Right Hon. Baronet to step out and take some decisive course for benefiting the colonies. The Right Hon. Baronet was the only one who could do it, and he reminded the Right Hon. Baronet that he who tolerated, par ticipated. Repeating his hope that the Right Hon. Baronet would adopt decided measures, the Hon. Member concluded by declarin , his intention to oppose the v ,t-. Mr. SHELL trams! many of the evils which had fallen upon New Zealand to the Colonial-office. True, Capt. Fitzroy had committed numerous errnrs, but upon the vicarions hacc of Capt. Fitzroy all the chasti.ernent ought not to fall ; for who had appointed Capt. Fitzroy but the Colonial Department, and should not the Noble Lord at the head of that office have satisfied himself of the qualifications of Capt. Fitzroy previous to his appointment ? lie would not doubt that Lord Stanley was influent-d by huinaae motives towards the New Zealanders in the policy which he adopted towards them; he would not doubt that it was cot si lered by the Government. that the tre ay of W ii , angi would conduce to the happi .ess of the natives. But Lord tstsnley deceived himself as to the ca pabilities of the New Zealander., who had strong clams to his e uirmiieealinn. Let them look at the resuli which the . _ policy of that Noble LoJI had wrought on tlse minds of the New Z •alanders. They were toll by the principal protector of the aburigkes that, notwithstand,ng the interpretation of the treaty of 'Waitangi, they held the Governmnat of this country is scorn. It was, therefore, manifest that a great char 2, was necessary, that small doses had no effect, that em pirical and homcelpathic prescriptions did not suit. Korora rika was reduced to the !tate of Old Sarum. The Govern- sent Might think that the decision of Lord Stanley was irre voeab'e, but they woul.l find that this was a mistake. The Committee which was appointed by the Government to make a rapier were two-thirds ionises and cue-third Whigs. On that ColannUtee they put members of the Government—embryo Ministers. V. 19 great majority of the Committee were sup porters of the Government, several of them members of the Government. and he was quite surprised to fled that their re port had be ei dismissed with utter disregard. The object of bis observetione was to show that great mstakes had been com mitted, and to s how them that if they were not prepared to go the whole length with the C •mmittee, that it would bite right that the Right Honourable Baronet should use his influence in inducing Lord Stanley to re d r ess the grtevances which had been complained of. He would b the la• t man to say that Lord Stanley ought to be ta red with disrasaect ; but if he (Lord Stanley) were ever so catm, and ever .o enlightened, he would venture to say that to him ( Lord S' an ey) N,w Zealand ought not to he subject. and that the preservation of that great posses sion of the English Crown ought to be better regard d. Se- R. PEEL was sorry hat the Right Hon. Gentleman bad deprived himself of the odportunity of making that speech on a former occasion. He. at the same time, sympa thised with the disappointment which he ( Mr. Shell) woull have been exii.ised to, if he had lost this opportunity of making it.. The discussion on the matter had already taken place, and lasted tat) nights, arid he ( air R. Peel) would have been rather better prepares to meet these observations on the 'second opportunity. He ehoutd net be prevailed upon, on this . occasion, to enter into any discussion with respect to the nutter. He couid nt do that which even it was painful to biro not to do, nami-ly, to enter into a deft:nee of the Noble Lord ( Stanley), and repel those act:l33,6,ms which had been most unjustly cast upon him, without affording an opportunity • fur another discussion, which he was desirous to avoid. He tiioiight that he had done everything in his power already to vindicate his Noble Friend, and that he had succeeded. Now, the - Right Hon. Gentleman said that the Noble Lord should be held responsible for the appointment of Captain Fezrey. He ( Sir R. Peel) was of opinion that he was tech weedy and constitutionally responsible, but he did not think that lie Ras to be considered as culpable for every act com mitted by Captain Fitzroy. Was the Member for London to be held responsible for every act of Messrs. Spain and Hodg son, wiiorn he had apvointed?—( Hear, hear.) In the eyes of the 1-iw, the Noble Lord was responsible for the appointment of Captain Fitzroy, but would he be considered responsible for every act of his by a person not looking technically at the mat ter? He ( Sir R. Peel) took the case of the militia. Captain Fitzroy got orders to raise a militia, but he did not act in ac - cordanee with those instructions. Was hie Noble Friend to be held respiansi'ele fur Captain Fitzroy', non-observance of his orders? Captain Fitzroy declined to obey the instructions given him under mistaken views, and he thought the responsibi lity shield( rest with himself. Never was a man appointed upon more pure or mere disinterested motives—he was thought to be the mast clever man for the performance of the duties assigned to him. He was surprised that a man who had distinguished himself in that Il e use, should have acted so. He was selected because he was believed to be well qualified to discharge the dwies which would devolve upon him. lie would not enter any further into that question, because he thought it m i g ht give rise to an untimely discussion. With respect to municipal in-titutions. they should, he thought, choose the largest t wn in a district, and incorporate Leith that town as large a dirt riot as pt;ssible. The natives resident within that district should, of course, have the advantages of British sub jects.—(Hear. hear.) He thought that at present the law provided that every male of 21 years of age had a right to vote. It was necessary that the body which was entrusted with the powers of taxation should have as extenive powers as was consistent. Ile thought that the municipal Government should have as extensive powers as were consistent with a superior legislative body. There ought not to be different principles of legislation in different parts of the country. The constitution of this superior power was a matter of the greatest imp ataner. The gevermea body ought to represent the nublie opinion of the colony. It ought to have an influence over the governing body. In what mode that could be arrived at he would not lay down any precise rule. It would greatly depend on the iertividual whom they would appoint as go vernor to th it colony. He would not go any further into the subject thrOugh the f ar that he might provoke that discussion which he was so desirous to avoid. Mr. HAWES believed that if a negotiation was once insti tuted between abt.e - and upright men, representing the interests of the colony and the Government, they would arrive at some sat ii.fectory Mr. C. BULLER said that he was glad t hear that nego tiation, between the different interests weer . ow taking place, and he would be exceedingly disappointed if they did not meet with the ben• float result. which he ant ieiosted. He wished to call the attention of the House to the • stivnate now before them. His olae Friends at tie sate of the Hoist- would see that he objected as touch as possible to the expenditure which had beets incurred in the e el ,vies. The lion. Gentleman then alluded to the estim ars of Captain Fitzroy He estimated that the expenditure of the present year was 36,000/. ; but that the expenditure of next year would be 26,000/. His calculation of the revenue was molest, but it w is. nevertheless, fallacious. He made out that the income derived from the property-tax would amount to 8,0001., but the return for the last two qua; teas would show that it would not amount to 4,000/. The Honourable Gentleman then complained of the salaries given to individuals employed in the Government of that colony, anti said that toe Government ought to be enabled to pay salaries which individuals had a right to expect fir their services. Mr. AG LION BY was rejoiced that an explanation had been given by the Hon. Baronet, of the intention of her Majesty's Government towards New Zealand and he hoped and believed that the resit would be to make Neat Zealand a self-support ing colony. Lad EBRINGTON was glad that some prospect of as agreement between the Company and the Government was likely. He thought, however, that they would not arrive at any beneficial result until the Government laid down some defi• nite awl intelligible principle with regard to the management of the waste lands in New Zealand. Mr. HOPE explained. Mr. wILLI A NIS said that he thought that this vote was to be opposed, but now that the Gentlemen laail got possession of a million acres in New Zealand, they were anxious that as much money as possible should be expended on them. He had no doubt that it the session lasted much longer, the Secretary for the Colonies would come down with a supplementary vote for New Zealand ; he begged to know if such was not his in- tention. 31r HOPE stated that he bad already said that the accounts sen re c t by ompp Captain Fitzroy were so vague that the Government d to form false estimates upon these financial we statements. Captain OSI3ORNE said that the present vote had nothing to do with the tarnil, qusrrel between the New Zealand Com pany and the Colonial-office. With reference to the imme diate vote, he must say that it was too small, and on that ground aiotm be would oppose it. Mr. HINDLEY said, that since the Bishop Of New Zea land had gone out the peace of the colony had not been im proved, but rather the reverse. Ailmi , al I)UNDA deteaded the Bishop of New Zealand. He knew no Insn who did his duty better, or was of greater benefit to that colony. Mr. A FlEi. s ITH concurred in that opinion. The Bi.hop of New Zealand was deserving of the highest respect f,,r his crinduct since his arrival in the colony. . r. HOPE, in an .ewer to a question from Captain Os borne. sail, that the salary of the Governor of N. w Zea land would be raised from 1,2001. to 2,5001; but it was not cor.!ent -lilted that that should he a permanent arrangement._ After a few words from \lr. PROTHEROE HINDLICY Mr. A GLION BY said that the New Zaland Company had always granted ae'istance to any religious denomination that req.::red it in the colony ; and as the Protestants were more numerous than any other class of religionists, of course they received the largest am , unt of assistance. The vote was then agreed to. 1.500/. was granted fur the Health of Towns Commission, u were also 3,4001. for the expenses of the " Digest of the Statutes" of the Common Law Cammissi n. 6,000/. tor the expenses of towns survey of Ireland. . On 2,597 i. being proposed to defray the expenses of the im provement of the river Shannon, Colonel SIIsTHORF objected to the vote. He considered it was a waste of the public money. The Hon. Gentleman en tired minutely into the history of these improvements, and con cluded by stating that it was a mere job for the improvement of the properties of two Noble Lords, the Marquis of Lansdowne sod Lord Monteagle. Captain OSBORNE—Does the Hon. Gentleman say the properties of the Marquis of Lansdowne and Lord Monteagle ? Colonel SIBTHORP— —(Laughter. ) Captain OSBORNE said that the Marquis of Lansdowne bad no property on the Nhannon, neither, he believed, had Lord Monteagle. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was happy to assure his Hon tend that the mune ; had been well apple d, sad was productive of the greatest possible benefit to the public. Lord SANDON did not agree with the Hon. Gentleman t that it was a job. He believed that it was an undertaking of great public utility. The vote was then agreed to. 762/. was then voted to defray the expenses in effecting im provements in the ambassador's house in Paris ; as also 13,000/. for the expenses cf the British embassy at Vienna and Constantinople. 50,0001. for the expenses of steam communication to India by the Red Sea. 16,000/. for the commission of volunteers in Canada. On the vote of 150,0001. being proposed for the construction of harbours of refuge, Sir C. N API R said that, while approving of the general application of the public money to such benefic►al purposes, he objected to Dover being included in the ports thus improved; it was a harbour that could never be used; the expense would be thrown away. Ad&ral DUNDAS said that if the Gallant Captain would read the report of the Commissioners on the construction of harbours of refuge. he would soon change his opinion as to the incompetency of Dover. Among the Commissioners one only, Sir W. Symonds, entertained a doubt of the efficacy of that port, and even that Gallant t fficer did not propose to omit it, but to couple Dungeness with it. After a few words from Air. WILLIAMS, the vote was agreed to. On the sum of 1,9.001. being proposed for the purposes of St. Margaret's Church, Mr. P. BORTHWICK objected to the vote, on the ground of its being a monstrous di.filurement to the neighbourhood. The Georgian Gothic style introduced in its interior rendered it a most glaring instance of bad taste, and he would rather see it pulled down, and another erected in a more populous part of the parish. Like Westminster Abbey, whose original architec tural beauties were being hidden behind the unseemly monu ments sprawling their monstrous shapes along, like to nothing in heaven above or earth beneath, the Church was a deformity, and the sooner it was removed the better. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that even supposing the church was an eye-sore, it could not be taken down and rebuilt in another place under a sum of 40,0001, and the question was, whether the House was prepared to vote that sum for such a purpose. Besides, it should be remembered that the building was the parish church of the Parliament. The speaker of their House, and all Members who chose to ac company him, once a year attended public worship there, and it was for that reason that peculiar privileges were attached to it, which ought not lightly to be withheld. Captain OSBORNE hoped the Hun. Member (Mr. Borth wick) would press his opposition to a division, and he for one would vote with him, and that upon the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequet, for it was evident that that Hon. Member's private opinion was against the church, though as Chancellor of the Exchequer he naturally asked where was the money to come from fur its substi'ute. Mr. HINDLEV suggested the postponement of the vote. Lord SANDON defended the vote, considering the state of religious education and instruction in the country. He could not consent to any course that would interfere with the appli cation of funds for such purposes as those set forth. He would set himself against the feeling so generally expressed by the House. Mr. J. A. SMITH supported the postponement of the vote. After a few words from Lord SANDON and Mr. OSBORNE, Mr. S HEIL wished to know if ever her Majesty's Ministers, or the Members of the House, attended St. Margaret's church ?- (Laughter.) It was his impression that it was very rarely used by them. He considered St. Margaret's church was an eye-sore to the neighbourhood, and materially inter fered with the view of the Abbey. It would also interfere with the view of that magnificent building they were now erecting. It would be highly improper that they should sacri fice 800,0001. for the conservation of that, the removal of which would only cost 40.0001., and which affected so much the beauty of the neighbourhood. Mr. HAWES objected to the church of St. Margaret's being considered an eye-sore. He generally agreed with the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool. Mr. OSBORNE explained. He thought that they should remove any obstacle that would mar the general effect of the great public buildings in this locality. Sir J. GRAHAM agreed with the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool, and with the remarks made by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He considered the repairs ought to be provided for, and he did not think a more economic sum could be named than the amount stated in the vote. Mr. PROTHEROE considered St. Margaret's church a fair specimen of undecorated Gothic architecture, and if it were removed it would display the most defective part of the Abbey. He was of opinion that the church in question was very well adapted for the purposes of worship. He would support the vote. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL considered that it would be a great advantage if the church and churchyard were removed. He thought there would be no difficulty in getting a new site for the church. Mr. E -COTT thought the church was a nuisance, and ought to be removed. Mr. P. BORTHWICK said he would press the motion to a division, as he had not heard anything to alter his views on the subject. The expense of pulling down the church and erect ing a new one in its stead in a more convenient site, would be 20,0001. He did not see why the churchyard should be pro faned by a public footway, and the funeral service disturbed by idle smoking f-llows lounging about there. Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS said the Committee ought to pause before they decided upon the subject. He would recom mend a postponement of the vote. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to accede to the suggestion of the Gallant Officer. The House then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment Against it l9 Majority The vote was then agreed to. The next vote proposed was 2,0001. for the repair of the public statues of the metropolis. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the statue of Cromwell should be placed among the statues which were to adorn the new Houiet of Parliament. Few men placed in his position, and in his time, were stained with fewer crimes. Surely the name of Cromwell deserved as much respect in this country as that of Napoleon in France. Mr. HUTT jocosely observed that the eulogium of the Hon. Member for Coventry meat be gratifying to the manes of Oliver Cromwell. He had not, however, heard that the statue of Cromwell had been excluded from the design of the new Houses of Parliament ; in fact, he had been informed of the contrary. The vote was agreed to. A vote of 1,8151. was agreed to, to defray the expenses of certain officers in Scotland. A vote of 6,4641. was proposed for the payment of officers o! the Lousehold of the Lord Liewenant of Ireland. . . Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE said that last year there had been a great deal of di‘cussion on this subject, and it was un derstood that the Government were not anxious to continue this useless expenditure of public money. It had been even rumoured that the present would 5e the last Lord Lieutenant. He wished to know if such MB the intention of Government ? Sir. R. PEEL said he could not then, the lion. Gentleman having given no notice of his question, reply to it. Mr. B. OSBORNE said he had been deterred from making a motion on the subject, in consequence of the hopes which the Government held out of proposing the abolition of the office. The vote vas agreed to. A sum of 39,000/. was proposed to defray the expenses of her Majesty's foreign and other secret service. Mr. WILLIAMS said he opposed the vote last year, and would do so in the present year, on the same ground ; that, in a tim.s of peace, and when all nations were at amity with one another, so large a sum should be employed for purposes which poperly belonged to periods of trouble and warfare. He would move, as an amendment, that the vote lie reduced to 20,000/. The House then divided, when there appeared — For the motion Again 4 it Majority... —47 EDUCA LION IN ENGLAND. 75,000/. was agreed to, without opposition, for promoting education in Great Britain. EDUCATION IN IRELAND: 75,000/. was next proposed to the National Board of Educa tion in Ireland, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of edu cation in connexion with it. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON protested against the principle involved in the vote, as it excluded other societies, having for their object the promotion of education, from it. He did n - tt, however, feel it his duty to raise a discussion on its merits, on account of the absence of Irish Members. Mr. B. OsBORNE referred to a statement made by the Bi,hop of Cashel at a meeting, in which he set forth that 75 out of every II 0 of the people of Ireland could neither read nor write. lie could not charge that Right Rev. Prelate with suggestio falsi, but with having been guilty of suppresio yeri, as his observation could only apply to children under ten, and not younger titan five, years. 51r. WYSE wished to know whether it was the intention of the Gov..rnment to establish any model schools in Ireland? Sir JAMES GRAHAM said it was the intention of the Board of Education of Ir,-land to establish model schools in certain districts in Ireland. Mr. Fl l'Z ROY hoped the grant would effect great good. Mr. J. O'CONNELL said the Board of Education in Ire land should be composed of persons of different sects, that they might see that the money voted to them was properly expended. He also hoped that they would meet in a friendly, instead of a hostile spirit, for the purpose of promoting secular education, and for emulating the youth of Ireland of different religious de nominations to a generous, not a jealous, spirit of rivalry. The National Board of Education had done great good. Lord C. HAMILTON had always opposed the National Board, as he believed a better system might be adopted. The most liberal education was imparted in the schools belonging to the Church Education Society. Mr. M... 1. O'CONNELL referred to the report of a meet ing at which the National Board was denounced in a gross manner by parties who were members of the Church Educz tion Society. Mr. OSBORNE—When the Noble Lord asks why this was not an united system he would tell him. The fact was because the Protestant clergy had refused to give their attendance to . these schools, while the Ronan Catholic clergy had done their utmost to prove that they were interested in the improvement of the people. If th e Noble Loral had thrown overboard his consistency with regard to Nlaynooth, why should he not give his coosisiency to the winds on other points? Lord C. H ANIIL lON was quite prepared to defend his con sistency on lio.h p int', but he old n t think that this was the time to enter on such a discussion. A vote of 4,9111. was then agreed to, for defraying the ex penses of the School of Design, after a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS , It was then moved that 7,380/. be appropriated to the pay ment of the professors of the Scotch Universities. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD moved the sum be re duced to 7,228/. The House then divided, when there appeared:— For the amendment Against it ... Majority against the amendment —s7 A sum of 2,1(X)!. was then voted for the Belfast Instituti,n, which was disputed on the ground of its being enormous. .Mr. HINDLEY said that ht• felt that thou g h the opinions which he represented were very unpopular in _thatflou se, they had a large constituent} out of doors, and motion e therefore felt bound to oppi4se the motion; but on a to divide the House, Mr. Hindltty said, that he saw his own movement was fruitless. and he would accordingly withdraw it. On the vote of 4 4 ,400/. being proposed for the British Museum, Mr. WYSE thought that a distinct building ought. to be appropriated to the reception of antipe sculptures and other treasures of antiquity. The expense would be b ut little in creased to the country, and the advantages to the fine arts would be invaluable. He had no desire to take up the time . of the House, but he hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would give this subject his full consideration during the recess, as it was his (Mr. Wyse's) intention to bring the subject before the House during the next session. of S t i h r e ß s . , P b j E ec E t t. ad s , a e id tte th d to athe was fully aware of the importance by the lion. Member, to the arts of the country, but it would be out of the power of the Govern ment to accede to his preposition, as there were already so many claims of a similar ch aracter pon them, while they had no fund to which they might refer for such a proposition. So averse was he to any further vote on thi s su bj ect, t h at h e wou ld rather assist out of his own private means, to the erection of such a separate building for the reception of th ese ant i quit i es (if such a building were really required) than further to tax the people for the support of public institutions. Mr. PRO cHERUE did not consider with the Hon. Member (Mr, Wyse) that the style of the newer portion of the British THE SUN, LONDON, THU 11.01neln•MOIMIPINI ..1.0.01.•••••••••• Museum was so out of character s as regarded its architecture, R A 1 L that these sculptures could not be received into it ; and before voting an increase of money fors separate building, he should wish to know where the antiquities to fill it were to come from.—( Laughter.) air. WARM N thought that such a space would be required for the r. n cants of medieval architecture, that the country should no be put to the expense of providing such erections. Mr. P. BORTHWICK did not consider that these rem nants were so numerous as the Hon. Member opposite seemed to imagine. After a few words from Mr. W YSE, in explanation, the vote was agreed to. The sum of 50,0001. in addition to the former vote of 100,0004. was then proposed for civil contirgenties. Mr. WILLIAMS objected to that part of the vote which ccmprehended the cost of excursions made by bishops in her Majesty's ships of war. The Bishop of Gibraltar had brought an expense upon the country of 3101. 101. 3d., in cluding 1001. for travelling expenses to Lisbon, and 181. thence to Cadiz, while the Prince of Prussia performed the same dis tance at a cost of 251. The Bishop of Antigua also had entailed an expense of 147/., the Bishop of Barbadoes 1891. 35., and the Bishop of Nova Scotia 1691. 35., and of Newfoundland 1251., making altogether a sum of somewhat about 9001. 9s. Ild., which amount he proposed should be deducted from the vote, as well as 1,20 which had been expended upon Episco palian clergymen in Scotland. He did not see why the con gregations who attended upon the ministry of those ecclesias tics, should not support them in the same way that the Free Church Ministers were supported by their congregations. He should, therefore, decidedly oppose the granting of both these sums. Sir C. NAPIER said that his Hon. Friend behind seemed to be somewhat mistaken in his statement of the manner in which this money was expended. If it were proved that the Bishops had gone on these excursions in the exercise of their duties, he shauld not think of deducting the sum from their pay any more than he would do so from the captain of a man of-war under similar circumstances ; but if they did so for their own pleasure, then, by all means, he said, keep it out of their accounts.—( Laughter. ) 'the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained that the expenses had been incurred in the ordinary course of conveyance from one part of the diocese to another. If they made mere pleasure excursions, of course the expense would be defrayed, not out of the public, but their own private resources. In these cases, however, he could assure the House the charges were purely incurred in their official capacity, and were not intended to defray the expenses of any private gratification. Captain PECHELL said that he did not understand why the bishops or ambassadors should charge any of these 'ex penses, because they were supplied with a very first-rate table. and, therefore, he thought that the opposition of the Hon. Member fur Coventry to the vote was exceedingly well founded. He observed in the estimates that the sum of 93!. was charged for the protection of the Queen of Tahiti on board the Cor morant. He did not object to that sum, tor he thought it very mo;!erate. But he wished to know from whom that Queen was protected ?--(Cries of " Oh, oh.") Sir G. COCKBURN—The Gallant Officer must be well aware that the Queen of Tahiti was afforded protection from the French. Mr. SHEIL objected to the vote proposed for payment to a Mr. Ross, a reporter in the pay of a London morning paper. That gentleman had been also employed by the Government as a witness against Mr. O'Connell, and the other gentlemen who were prosecuted by the State in Ireland. He did Hot think that this vote should be taken, as that gentleman represented himself before the trial as still employed by the paper which he had orieinall represented. Sir J. GRAHAM said that, knowing that Mr. Ross had been engaged iu his efficial character at several of the meetings held in Ireland, and that he had taken notes of certain speeches there, he (Sir James Graham) had directed him to be en gaged rs a witness on these trials. Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the item included in this vo.e for defraying the expenses of the Commission for Digesting the Statutes of Criminal Law, an item and statutes which he considered very hard indeed to be digested.—( Laughter. ) After a few words from Mr. Hindle}, Sir C. Napier, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority for the vote —s7 On our re-admission to the gallery, we found Mr. CORRY on his legs, stating the improvements and alterations which he proposed in the classification and pay of captains in the navy. It was proposed to create a retired list of 300 captains of the age of sixty-five years and upwards, or in caae any of that age preferred remaining on the active list, to select such under it, as from infirmity sir otherwise, were deemed worthy of being placed on this list. After this list had been made up. he proposed that vacancies should not be supplied until it had been reduced to 100, when it should be made up in the same manner by those willing to accept the retirement. By this arrangement the number of captains woud be reduced from 714 to 400, and the 14s. 6d. list be re duced to 53., while the others would be proportionably decreased. The system had been introduced with the best intentions and wishes of the Government, and he believed it would be generally acceptable to the profession. Capt. PECHELL said that with regard to the class of lieu tenants and commanders, to which his Hon. Friend had alluded, they were classes which did not rise by seniority, and he would be ready to concur in any plan which would furbish them as ith snore active employment. It was necessary that those data should be adopted for the regulation of the service. He had on a great many occasions differed from his Honourable Friend opposite, but then he thought that the objections which had been urged might be removed. Sir C. NAPIER said that he must support the claims of those who had spent their lives in the service of their country. It appeared to him that the claims of these retired officers were well founded, and that the Government could not possibly re sist them. The allowance exceeded his (Sir C. Napier's) most sanguine expectations. Admiral DUNDAS said, that in his opinion, the benefits of this vote should not be confined to captains merely. There were many admirals on the one hand, and commanders on the other, who were equally entitled to its advantages. Sir G. COCKBURN defended the vote. Let the House give it a fair trial, and if it did not meet with the sanction of all classes in the navy, and was found to be inefficient in working, then it would be still in the power of the Admiralty to alter and amend it. Sir R. PEEL said that there were cases in which an in crease of expenditure was the preferable economy. and he thought that the retirement of 300 officers would be •f this character. Ho was quite aware that this was an important vote, and that it would in some cases be liable to objection. In some instances he should reserve the powerof appointing those retiring captains to the rank of admirals, but this power would only be exercised in the case of men distinguished by their abi lities and services, whose services it was desirable should not be lost to the country. Mr. S. HER BERT said that the effect of the measure, so far from precluding, would double the chance of promotion both to the admira!s and captains. 'the vote was then agreed to. 'the CHAIRMAN then reported progress and the House re sumed and immediately after went into Committee on Ways and Means, when several votes were agreed to, and the House again resumed. Mr. GREENE brought up the report of the Valuation (Ire land) Bill, which was, after a few words from Sir R. FERGU SON, received. THE REAL PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. The report on this Bill was received, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day. THE ASSIGNMENT OF TERMS BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. NAVAL ME. ICAL SUPPLEMENTAL BILL. The House then went into Committee en the above Bill, and the clauses having been passed, the report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. WASTE LANDS (AUSTRALIA) BILL On the order of the day for the second reading of the Waste Lands (Australia) Bill, Mr. C. BULLER objected to any attempt to smuggle the Bill through the House at that late hour. He could assure the House and the Government that it would be tenaciously and vigorously opposed in every stage, and that there were many interests opposed to the passing of the measure. After a few words from Mr. HAWES, Mr. AGLIONBY moved that the Bill be read that day six months. SirJAMES GRAHAM said that if any opposition were offered to the question that night he should be glad to postpone it till to-morrow. The gallery was, however, cleared, when the numbers were— For the amendment Against it _ . . Majority... —23 Mr. WAR BU turoN then moved the adjournment of the debate till Monday week. The gallery was again cleared for a division, but after some time strangers were admitted, none taking place. After a desultory discussion, in which Mr. Hawes, Mr. Scott, and another Hen. Member took part, the gallery was a second time cleared on Mr. Warburton's motion. On our adalission to the gallery, it appeared that no division had taken place, but an arrangement had been entered into for ab indoning all the Bill except that part referring to Van Diemau's Land, the discussion of which was adjourned till this day. The Apprehension of Offenders Bill was read a third time and passed. The Municipal Districts Bill was also read a third time and passe J. The Leeds and Bradford Railway (Shipley to Colne) Mis take Rectifying Bill was read a second time and ordered to 'be committed this day. The Fees (Criminal Proceedings) Bill went through Coin mittee.

Viscount Courtenav, Mr. Wall, Mr. Scrope, and Mr. Darby, the Members composing this Committee, commenced business to day by the resumption of evidence on behalf of the above scheme. Mr. HieKsos having handed in a table of the coaches and carriers' carts passing on the route of the proposed Lincoln lino, Mr. Watkins. a maltster, of Worksop, under examination by Mr. Wog, deposed to the considerable advantages which the railway would confer on the town generally, and his trade in par . - ticular. Ile made about 3,000 quartets of malt annually, the majority of which was sent to Sheffield, and a small proportion to Manchester. If the projected Lincoln line was constructed he would probably erect other kilns, by which 700 or 800 quarters of malt would be additionally made. Mr. Garside, a timber merchant, of the same town, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Mr. White, the market.clerk of the Duke of Norfolk, at Sheffield, proved the inconvenience arising to the district in winter from the closing of the water navigation, and the great importance of a line such as that under consideration. Mr. Durham, a miller of Worksop, gave similar evidence. Mr. Jonathan Marshall, a farmer and corn merchant resident at W: - .les, a small town near Worksop, 'poise to the fact of a consi derable quantity of grain being sent from Lincolnshire to Man. chester and the West. Mr. Peter Hartley, a cornfactor of Manchester, attested the aseuracy of the precocding witness, and mentioned his receiving sixty eight tons of grain weekly from the Lincolnshire market... Mr. Thomas Itokeby Appleby, coal and iron.master in the neighbourhood of the Chesterfield Canal, deposed to the insufficiency of that navigation for the conveyance of the vast produce is those districts. Mr. Grissell, of the firm of Grissell and Pcto, under examination by Mr. HOPE, spoke to his procuring the stone at present used for the construction of the new Houses of Parliament from Anston, a quarry about twis miles from a point on the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line. He is now obliged to resort to the canal for the purpose of transmitting the stone, but in consequence of the frequent inter ruptions occasioned by the scarcity of water in summer, and its being frozen in winter, it is a most inconvenient mode of convey ance. If the proposed Lincoln line were constructed, he should send the stone by it to Gainsborough for transhipment. Mr. Hatfield: an architect, of Sheffield, corroborated this evidence. . Mr. Lee, assistant.surveyor to the Paving Board at Sheffield, deposed to the quantities of good paving stone and magnesian limestone that are found in the neighbourhood of the Sheffield and Lincoln line, all of which would be conveyed by it for the use of the former town; while on the Bawtry branch there is little or no mineral of any available utility. Mr. Turner, a butcher, being asked his opinion of the Bawtry branch, exclaimed, amidst roars of laughter, in which the mem bers of the Committee irresistibly joined, " Oh, for! it is not worth mentioning. It pas►es through a country as barren as their pigs; it is fertile in neither cattle, vegetables, nor cord l" After this graphic burst of indignation, the witness was allowed speedily to withdraw. _ Mr. Thomas Greenwood, traffic.taker and accountant of Man chester, then handed in the traffie tables, from which it appeared that 100,310/. 7s. lid. was anticipated for the gross returns ; de. ducting 40,1241., or 40 per cent, for working expenses, a net an nual income of 60,1861. 7s. lid., ur 8/. 12s. was anticipated on the capital subscribed.

METROPOLITAN IMPROVE MENTS. There has been a vast deal of fuss and stir made o f late about parks for the people ; but when the grounds are laid out, and the outskirts or our metropolis are studded with public parterres, we scarcely know where people aid be found for the parks. The great delight of a genuine Londoner is to peramb :date the streets and admire the taste and magnificence displayed io the m bellishments of the shops. Napoleon weered at us as a nation of shopkeepers ; but when we can boast of such shopkeepers as Messrs. Hotke and Lowman.w . e , have every reason to be flattered by the ribaldry of the imper`al scoter. The vast range of premises, extending from Nos. 256 to 262, in Regent street, form one of the chief ornaintnts ut that gay anti glittering thor ughtare. Forextent of fruit' age, magnificent in ati the appointments and decorations, the tastidikms. • taste and ele-gance which predominate through the whole building, and the gorgeous splendour of its ensemble, we kno Iv of no establishment that could compete with it in either Paris or Vienna. Its twelve stately windows (a "shinir g row," like Cowper's needles), each of a single sheet of glass that would serve as a mirror for an elephant, excite the astonishment ant; admiration of thej/aneurs. and the low prices which al e asked for the beantifnl articles exposed tor site, coupled with the excellence of the material in all the goods maul'. factured for this establishment, obtain for it all the cele brity with none of theunenviable notoriety or odium with which a " cheap shop" is generally stigmatized. And whilst we are on this subject of splendid shops, It woul ba itnpossible to pass by without noticing the bright array . of costly superfluities at Barry's, at the Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly. The melancholy Jacques stud long, long ago, that the " world is still deceived with orna ment." but as London is not the forest of Arden. the "world" will still be well content with what is to be found at Barry's, and like Tassu's sick child, " dal Auo t be c h h e os s e uP ; i ne l c u es w s h u i i e r h e, V is o h l e ta re ir t e o e b ra e P in ha e; ti vt ii : ( i g- t a( h ilhi; i w n L i i ) el i a-i i r d r U idc s e i t,7 n.

And what a vast deal of time and trouble is saved by his method of mark• fig linen with stumps t. in truth, Barry must be a man of great ingenuity as well as taste to originate so many excellent devices. If we cross Piccadilly, we fall in with the . renoweii Arcadian. Doudney, who from his citadel in the Burlington arcade hurls defiance at all his com peers, and outdoes every schneider in the land by the fecundity of his inventive powers. In the Lou t Circular the other day we read that her Majesty had inspected and approved of clo:k of an entirely new construction which has ably is md triim hi s workshop. The novelty of this garment consists in it- having a pair of loose sleeves termed out of the chi Alt itself, and can be worn by either a lady or gentleman, w hether on fitot or on horse back. Doudncy has dune perfectly right in registering the pattern oft his piece of apparel, which seems to pos sess so many adva , tages as to have well merited the royal approbation. From the number of shooting jackets, gaiters, and other sporting attire which are piled about his show-rooms, it is evident that great preparations are malting for the 12th of August. How ever, whilst we are here roaming about this world, we should take some note of time, and the clocks made by Messrs. Cart, of the Rae d'Alger, 13, in Paris, enable us to mark the flight of the &lax let um with a precision which is truly astonishing. Messrs. Capt possess a large manufactory for time-pieces at Geneva ; and every watch undergoes a careful and elaborate revision on its arrival in the French capital, until the accuracy of a chronometer is obtained without the immense cost. Sam Slick, the Clo..kinuker," must hide his diminished head before M. Capt, who warrants the durability and correctness of every watch that leaves his establishment —Post. THE LATE FIRE IN QUEBEC. The CHA NCELL , ,11. of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that he should move, in a Committee of the whole House this day, that an humble address )re presented to her Majesty, praying she would order the sum of '20,0001. to be allotted to the sufferers at the late fire at Quebec. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Two o'clock. U „ THE BXLLOON ASCENT FROM REMORNE GARDENS. —The following particulars have been given by Mr. Charles Green of the progress and descent of the Royal Nassau Balloon on Monday :—On its departure from Cremorne Gardens the balloon WAS carried east by north, and passed over Chelsea Hospital, the new Bridewel, and the Middlesex end of Westminster Bridge. It continued this course to the city side of Blackfriars Bridge, where it met a current of air (being then at an altitude of between 1,000 and 4,000 feet) of south by west, by which it was carried over St. Paul's. Here it was apparently stationary from the variable winds. It subsequently went directly over the Post-office, going towards Haggerstone, Daiston, and Clapton, over Stamford-hill, towards the reservoir of the New River. About this spot it was Mr. Green's intention to have descended ; but he was prevented from doing so, in consequence of the immense crowds of persons which were approaching, many of whom had followed the path of the balloon from Landon, and he was alarmed for the safety of his passengers. He then immediately re-ascended, when the machine attained an altitude of about 6,500 feet, by flinging out ballast, tise barometer having fallen from 29.85. to 23.90 degrees, and the thermometer from 66 to 46 degrees. The sudden change of temperature, which took place in a space of about four minutes (the altitude having varied from between 1,000 or 2,000 feet to 6,500) produced a sudden shivering. At this height was obtained a ioagniikent view of the metropolis with its myriads of gas lights, which excited the delight of all. After being in the aerial regions about two hours and twenty minutes, the balloon was safely landed in a large marsh at Tottenham, near the residence of Mr. H. L. Small, a director of the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway. Mr. Small and his family provided a hospitable meal for the ad. venturous company, after which they returned to the gardens. When at a height of about 3,000 feet. Mr. T. Mathews, upon being requested, sang a new comic song called " Pigs pettitoes," which was rapturously encored. While near the metropolis," the health of her Majesty, Pr:nee Albert, .and the rest of the Royal Family," was drank in champagne. The balloon was inflated from the Chelsea Gas.wolke of the Imperial Gas Company, and its as. cending power was so pea, that it elevated as many as twenty.one persons several times in the gardens, between six and seven o'clock on Monday night.

It ap . peered from the evidence that the deceased was at work in a field on the Isle of Dogs at the time of the fire, and observed fire issuing from one of the houses destroyed. He ran with others t• the spot, and being most anxious to save his landlord's as well as his own prop er t y, h e rushed up s tairs, and was in the act of re. moving some art ic l es, w h en th e roof gave way, and he w a s nearl y buried in th e b urn i ng ru i ns. W i th much presence of mind and great exertions he managed to escape acr oss a ditch into a field adjoining, enveloped in flames, and ro lled about in the grass until the fire was exting u i s h e d. Assistance was then ren dered, and he was conveyed without delay on board the Dreadnought, where he lingered until Saturday last, when he died of ulcerated intestines, i nduced by the dreadful injuries he had received. Verdict, "Ac cidental death."

COURT OF CHANCERY, July 30. 1 (Before the LORD CHANCELLOR and tho MASTER OF TrIZ ROL! 3.) IN THE MATTER OF THE SUITORS, This case came on again to-day pursuant to appointment, upon the ; etition of thirty-two solicitors of the Court, complaining of the course pursued in the office of Master Lynch by his chief clerk, and praying that the Court would direct inquiry into the subject, and if it should think necessary, that it would remove the chief clerk from his office. The petition. which wit have already given at length, among other things stated : " That in the month of December, 1843, Andrew Henry Lynch, Eiq. , one of the said Masters in Ordinary, appointed Thomas Whiting, who had then been copying or junior clerk in the office of another of the said Masters for more than ten years, to be chief clerk of him the said Master Lynch, and in the month of June, 1844, the Lord Chancellor was pleased to order that the salary of one thousand pounds, provided for persons filling the said office of chief clerk, should be paid to the said Thomas Whiting, since which time the said Thomas Whiting has annually received such salary. "'That notwithstanding such appointment of the said Thomas Whiting, and such receipt by him of the said salary, he has never performed, or in any imnfier attempted to perform, and does not now perform, the important duties belonging to the said office of chief clerk to the said Master Lynch, but that such duties have been ever since his said appointment performed by, and the same are now continuing to be performed by, Edward Wright, the junior or copying clerk in the said office of the said Master Lynch, who is not himself qualified, according to law, for the office of such chief clerk, and by such means the duties of chief clerk to the said Master Lynch are, in fact, performed by a deputy and an un qualified person. And the said Thomas Whiting has evor since his said appointment performed the duties of copying or junior clerk, and no other duties, in the said office of the said Master Lynch, and the petitioners believe that the said Thomas Whiting is, in fact, incompetent to discharge the duties of chief clerk to the said Master. " That the petitioners are advised, and humbly submit to the Lord Chancellor, that an of f ice of so much trust and importance as that of chief clerk to one of the said Masters ought not to be executed by deputy, and that to permit the same to be so executed would be establishing a principle injurious to the interests of the suitors of this Court, and contrary to the true intent and meaning of the said Act of Parliament, and would have the effect of de. priving the said suitors of the security intended to be given to them by the said Act for the performance of the duties of the said office by persons possessing the experience and legal attainment indispen. sable fur the efficient discharge thereof; and the petitioners, in their character of solicitors of this Honourable Court, and also as representing the interests of the suitors of this Honourable Court confided to their care, feel aggrieved by the premises." Mr. ROMSLLY, with whom was Mr. R. PALNIER, appeared on behalf of the petitioners, and contended at considerable length that from the time of Richard 11. to the present, the clerks of the Masters, and the Masters themselves, were under the control and jurisdiction of the Lord Chancellor, and that the Act of William IV. did not remove that jurisdiction. By that Act it was, among other things, enacted tnat no person should be appointed to be chief clerk of any Master in Ordinary of this Honourable Court unless he ►hould have been admitted on the roll of solicitors or attorneys in one of the Courts of Westminster Hall, for not less than five years, or should have been a junior clerk in the office of one of the said Masters for a term of ten years. Now, it was clear by that clause that the Master was forbidden to appoint any person to the office unless he should have been a solicitor for five years, or a junior clerk in the office of one of the Masters for ten years; and by the 21st section it was clear that the duties of chief clerk could not be performed by deputy. That was also clearly proved by a great number of authorities. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that he did not understand it was contended on the other side that the duties could be performed by deputy, but what was said was, that the Master had a right to allot the duties as he thought proper among his different Pieria. Mr. Ron mut' admitted that, but denied that the office o chief clerk could be' performed by the junior clerk. It perhaps might be convenient that he should now state what sort of order they proposed to ask. It W 33 intended to ask the Court to direct a reference to the three senior Masters of the Court of Chancery, to inquire into the practice of the chief clerk's office in the particular circumstances of the present case They proposed he should make an order that the three senior Masters should report what were the duties performed by the chief clerk, and what duties were per. formed by Mr. Wright, and also to inquire under what circum stances the office of chief and junior clerk were held in the office of Master Lynch, and to state special circumstances. The l'iliseea of the RotLs—What ultimate order do you ask! Mr. ROMILLY—That no person should be permitted to perform the duties but the chief clerk, and that if it was shown that he was not competent, then that the office should be declared vacant. He did not propose that the Court should do anything in the first instance. The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired by what tenure the chief clerk held his office ? Mr. RC:WILLY observed that that was not stated. There could be no doubt that in the present instance there was some arrange ment between the senior and junior clerk. It was clear that Mr. Wright, who performed the duties of chief clerk, was not qualified, but that he would be in two years and a half. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked if it was suggested that Mr. Wright was to have the office at the termination of the two years and a half? Mr. Rostmcv—Nothing of the sort ; it was clear, however, that some arrangement existed, and the Master himself also appeared to take part in it. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I suppose the Master takes that species of interest which will show to the Court that he is correct. Mr. Romn.Lv said that was a matter that it behoved the Court to inquire into. The Loan CitasteeLLoa was in hopes that it was unnecessary to go further into that part of the case, as he felt convinced that, upon any intimation from the Court of its opinion, Master Lynch would act upon it. Mr. STUART observed that nothing could be said against the course pursued by Master Lynch, and he was sure that any sug gestion of the Court would be instantly adopted by him. Mr. ROAIILLY would not press this part of the case further. The Learned Counsel then contended he was entitled to the order he eels ed. The petitioners, he could assure the Court, had most un willingly brought this matter forward, hoping that some legislative c. -tactment would have taken place upon the subject. His instruc tion s were to avoid as much as possible anything like personal ob serva,lons upon any one. As to Master Lynch, he was sure all h e h a d ,lone was bona fide and with the best intentions. The LoWD CHANCELLOR said that no person had ever performed the duties Master snore eff,ctively than Master Lynch. !q r . R . p a t,aser followed on the same side as Mr. Romilly. Mr. STUART .`Ppeptred for Master Lynch, who had been served with a copy of the petition, and said the charges contained in it were grave ones, if they were proved to be well founded. He had been charged with appoini`i3le a person to the office of thief clerk in his office who was in.' mpetent to perform the office, and that he had allowed another individual to perform the duty who was legally disqualified. 'Those were grave charges. He denied tLe whole of that cha . rge in the petition on the behalf of Master Lynch, and asserted that nothing was more calculated to lower the c haracter of the profession of the law, and the officers by whom it was administered, than to present petitions containing allegations that had no foundation in fact. On the part e, f Master Lynch, he contended, that he had full power to discharge a :I the clerks in his office when ever he pleased ; and that there was co foundation whatever for the statement that had been made on the other side, that the Master could not discharge his chief clerk. The Master held his office by the appointment of the Mi nister of the day, and the Master's chief clerk held his by the appointment of the Master. No authority had been brought before the Court in support of that proposition, that tended to exalt the office of chief clerk of the Master into a judicial office. The Learned Counsel then proceeded, at con. siderable length, to contend that the allegations in the petition that Mr. Whiting was incompetent to perform the duties were wholly unfounded,' and that the Master had the right to apportion the duties of the clerks in his office as he thought right, and he had an absolute discretion on the subject. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was most important that the Court should know what were the duties performed by Mr. Whiting. Mr. STUART said that he performed the duties allotted to him by the Master. He had a second affidavit, filed by Mr. Whiting, in which he stated the duties that he performed. Mr. Rommcv observed that that affidavit had but just been filed, and he understood it had been made in consequence of something that fell from the Court in the course of the morning. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to know whether Mr. Romilly desired to answer the affidavit P Mr. Romitax observed that some of the duties stated in the affidavit to be performed by Mr. Whiting were the duties of chief clerk ; he would prefer therefore that the matter should go on. Mr. STUART then proceeded. It was admitted that the duties were excellently well performed, but it was said that one of the duties that ought to be performed by Mr. Whiting was performed by Mr. Wright. Now was that, he would ask, any ground for presenting the present petition, containing the absurd and improper allegations it did, and bringing forward Master Lynch before the Court as a criminal, bound to answer these allegations ? As to the inquiry it was proposed to make before the three senior Masters of the Court, he contended that no ground had been shown for that inquiry. He denied altogether any irregularity in the office of Master Lynch, for if there was he would not be en• titled to that high character which all accorded to him. He asked the Court, therefore, to dismiss the petition in justice to Master Lynch, and in justice also to the suitors. All the charges made in the petition had been disproved, and were totally unsupported by evidence. If such petitions were sanctioned by the Court, they would greatly deteriorate the office of the Masters, and tend to defeat the award of justice to the suitors. The arguments not being concluded at the rising of the Court, the further consideration of the case was adjourned sine die. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he could not go on with the case to-morrow, as other business stood for disposal. His Lordship had intended to have closed his sittings to-morrow, but as the Master of the Rolls had been good enough to say, if the parties wished to go on with the case he would attend another day, he (the Lord Chancellor) would consider in the course of to-morrow which day could be appointed. The regular business of the Court, hewevcr, would terminate to morrow. Mr. Campbell has to follow Mr. Stuart on behalf of Master Lynch Mr. James Parker and a gentleman behind the bar have to tie heard for Mr. Whiting; Mr. Romilly will have to reply ; and the great probability is that the arguments will be resumed in Mi chaelmas term. The LORD Cu itarcELLoa, before he rose, stated that after the House of Lords was prorogued, he would hear any cases that pressed in his private room. SECONDARIES' COURT, July 30. (Before Mr. Secondary JAML.) 110VG11 V. DIiNGATE. Love, Law, AND filvsic.—The plaintiffs in this case are coffee. house keepers, in the Waterloo-road, and the defendant a chemist and druggist in the same place. Mr. CROUCH appeared for the plaintiffs. He said that they were single women, and kept a coffee-shop called the Phrenological Coffee-house, which was frequented by the defendant, and in the course of two years ran up a score of 81. There was also a charge for a phrenological bust, the defendant, no doubt, wishing to study the science, and discover where the " bump" of " confidence" was situate, and whether it was developed to any great extent in the plaintiffs. The defendant had made a set-off against the rump steaks and mutton chops, of medicines. The bill appeared to him t) be one of the most impudent which could have been concocted, and consisted of almost every article which a chemist and druggist's shop could con tain, and it really appeared as though he had copied the catalogue throughout. The following were a few of the items :—Salts, senna, herbs, castor oil, pills, lozenges, honey, borax, lip.salve, lina ments, lotions, plasters, gargles, jalap, sulphur, and pills in a great variety. There were " night" pills and "steel" pills at tour shil lings a box. He supposed they were required to line the patients inside, or they could not by any possibility have survived such a drenching and bolusing. The bill had, by these charges, been raised to 111. 4s. 5d The witnesses for the plaintiffs proved that the dinners, &c., were supplied, and as to the physic, they positively denied having had it—they would have beep afraid to take any pills from him, and consii:ered him such a simple man that he could not make up any thing. For the defendant it was shown that he had advanced a large sum of money to plaintiff's mother and brother, and that the elder plaintiff hid signed an " I 0 U" as security, and that a set. tletnent was come to that the whole amount should be paid at IL 6s. pet month, but at that time no notice was taken of the present demand as a claim, but that it was mentioned as a proof of the intimacy and used as an argument to show that the defendant was i.nder obligations, and ought mot to be so urgent for the settle- ment. The delivery of some medicine was proved. Mr. Caoucm, i❑ reply, contended that there had been a little love affair between the parties, but that defendant was a mere cupboard lover He also urged that the bill for medicine could not be maintained, for physic was not taken in partnership.—(Laughter.) Verdict for the plaintiffs for the fell amount. ASSIZE TINTTELLIGENCE. HOME CMG' U.l7l—Lewes, July 30. CROWN COU RT—( Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) John Swinard, 23, was indicted for bugiariously and sacrilegiously breaking into a certain chapel, called St. Leonard's Chapel, in the borough of Hastings, and steal ing therefrom a quart of wine, some silver monies, and other articles, the property of the Rev. Charles William Leslie. The prisoner pleaded guilty en Thursday to the charge and the circumstances of the case appear to be of a most extraordinary character. It aepeared that on the 21st March, in the present year, a lady of colour, the wife of a gentleman of fortune residing at Hastings, was interred in a vault under some pews on the east side of the chapel in question, and it seems that a rumour had got abroad that a quantity of valuable jewels and other costly articles had been buried in her coffin. The chapel was left safely secured on the night of the 24:h March, but on the sexton going the next morning a most extraordinary scene pre sented itself. The hassocks that were in the chapel had been pull-el to pieces, the coverings and cushions had been torn off the pews, and the vault in which the body had been deposited was foul , :d to have been forcibly opened. Upon going into the vault it was found that the lids of the leaden and wooden coffin had been wrenched off and broken to pieces. The body had been lifted up, and a pillow placed over the face of the corpse. Ttai , clothes were pulled up and turned over the middle, and the person of the deceased exposed. The remainder of the appearances that were observed are not of a nature to be detailed, and it will be sufficient to state that the conduct of the depredators appeared to have been of a most d'sgusting character. The head dress of the deceased, which was a shawl, edged with lace, was totn from her, and rent in pi , ces, and was found lying outside the vault. The prisoner Swinard, it would appear, was taken into custody with one or two other persons shortly afterwards, and when before the magistrates he made a statement admitting that he and another person who was committed with him for trial, were guilty of the effence. The Grand Jury, however, as there was no evidence to corroborate his testimony, ignored the bill against the other prisoner, and Swinard was therefore the only person charged. From his confession it appeared that he had heard that the " black lady" was buried in her jewels, and a silver crown and watch, and all the jewels she had got ; and on the Sunday before the chapel was broken open, he saw the other prisoner, and they talked about this matter, and eventually agreed to try if they could not break open the lady's coffin, and steal the valuables they expected to find there, and they made arrangements for that pur pose ; and on the night the robbery was committed they proceeded to the chapel, taking with them a pick axe and two crow-bars. They got to the chapel about twelve o'clock at night, and having clambered over the wall, they proceeded to the side door, and after some trouble they succeeded in forcing it open, and made their way into the chapel. 'flit y first pulled down the boxes that were fastened against the walls to receive contributions from the congregation, and took out the money that was in them and divided it, and then went to look for the grave of the black lady. They pulled up the boards under several pews, but for some time they . were unable to discover the vault, but at length, seeing some new nails, it gave them a clue to the spot, and they forced up the entrance into the vault and jumped in. Before this they had lighted a candle they found in the chapel, with some lucifers they had brought with them ; and by the aid of its light they searched about for the coffin, and having found it, they forced off the wooden lid and the leaden one, and got to the corpse. They then searched the coffin for valuables, but did not discover any, and upon this, according to his state ment, they were very sorry for what they had done. The prisoner then described the beastly acts that were committed in the chapel, and which are alluded to above. The prisoner, when arraigned, as is before stated, pleaded Guilty, and Lord Chief Justice TINDAL sentenced him to be trans ported for fourteen years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Richard Jarvis, the bank clerk, who was pursued to France by John Forres. er, the officer, upon a warrant, charging him with having stolen an Exchequer-bill for 200/., the property of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, wa; brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination. Mr. Weir, of the house of Freshfield and Co., soli citors to the Bank of England, attended for the Bank, and Mr. Nobler appeared for the prisoner. The following evidence was added to that which was reported upon the former examination. Mr. John Tilbury, one of the cashiers of the Bank of England, stated that he kept the book called the journal for Exchequer Bills in the Treasury-office at the es tablishment. That book contained an account of all the securities paid into the Bank on the Ist of April, but there was not in it any entry of any Exchequer-bill for that day, of the amount of 2001., neither had the pri soner paid in that sum on that day. It was witness's duty to make up the daily total of Exchequer. bills, and the total on that day did not comprehend the 2001. Exchequer-bill. The totals of the Exchequer-bills deposited every day were compared every Saturday, and on the Saturday following the Ist of April, witness found, upon examining the totals with the previous, that they agreed, but, if credit had been given for the Ex chequer-bill in question, in the prisoner's book, they should not have agreed, to the amount of that bill. Mr. George Grosvenor, clerk in the bill-office of the Bank of EnOand, produced the Bill-office Journai. It contained an entry in the prisoner's hand-writing of a 200!. Exchequer-bill, to the credit of Alexander Wilson (the bill in question), but in the totals book that sum did not appear. Both of the books were in the prisoner's hand-writing. Mr. llobler cross-examined the witnesses, but their testimony remained unimpaired. Mr. Weir having stated that the case was completed, The LORD MAYOR desired to' know whether the soli citor to the prisoner had any answer to make to the statement. Mr. Hobler—l have no answer to make here. What ever answer I make shall be made in another place, if your Lordship should determine to send it elsewhere. The prisoner was then committed for trial. The unfortunate man seemed to labour under severe illness ; and his character and habits having been known to have been, up to the time of this charge, irre proachable, was an object of general c ommiseration. John Davis, a seaman, was charged upon the follow ing occasion :—A policeman stated that he heard a band of music on Tower-hill, and upon going to the place saw the prisoner pulling about a girl, who was endea vouring to get away from him. The prisoner had at the time a pistol. in his hand, and witness heard the re port of it, and saw that a boy who stood near him was wounded in the arm, The boy was taken to the hospi tal, where the injury he received was pronounced to be dangerous. The LORD MAYOR— Did the boy say anything as to the person who committed the outrage ? Witness—lle said the prisoner was one of the persons who were con cerned. A man named Radford afterwards came to the station-house, and stated that he was the man who had discharged the pistol. The LORD MAYOR—And where is that man ? Wit ness—The inspector discharged him. The LORD MAYOR—You say the man declared that he was the person who fired the pistol? Witness — Yes, my Lord. But the inspector refused to take the confession as he was not seen to fire the pistol. He, however, promised to attend here. Radford then stepped forward from the crowd behind the bar, and said he was the individual who had made the confession. The LORD MAYOR having directed that Radford should be placed at the bar with the other prisoner, asked him what he had to say? Radford—l was with Davis on Tower-hill, and the band was playing up, and we had a woman with us. Davis had a pistol in his hand, and I laid hold of it without knowing whether it was loaded or not, and off it went in my hand. The LORD MAYOR—Let both prisoners be remanded until the boy, if he should recover, be able to attend. Davis lingered in the bar in the hope that bail would be taken for his appearance, but The Loi) MAYOR put an end to the expectation by stating that the lives of people were not to be endan gered with impunity either in jest or in earnest. The prisoners were remanded. A boy named Thomas Brudenell, pot-boy to Mr. Richards, of the Ship Tavern, Lime-street, was charged with having robbed his employer. Mr. Richards having had reason to suspect the honesty of the prisoner, who had been in his employ ment about three months, he marked four shillings and sixpence, and put the money in the till. The till was in the bar, to which there was an inside door as well as two outside doors, which witness locked every night before he went to bed. On that morning he got up at an early hour, sat on the cellar stairs, and soon heard a noise in the bar. Upon going towards the bar he saw the prisoner climbing ovac the top of the pair of doors, and told him that be had been suspected for some time. Ile replied, " Oh, Sir, I have taken but a few coppers, and I hope you will forgive me." The prisoner then took out of his pocket two shillings and twopence-half penny in copper, which had been all marked. There was other property belonging to the prosecutor al. found upon the prisoner. A policeman stated that he found in the prisoner's box some silver and copper, and brandy, screws of to bacco, &c., &c. The prisoner—l am very sorry for it. I own to taking the cigar. I have no father, and lam sorry tor it. Committed for trial.

THE LATE FATAL DRAT ACCIDENT IN BETHNAL qes Ns.—Tuesday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hos pital, on the body of David Roberts, aged forty, a labourer in the employ of Messrs. Whitbread and Co., brewers. Particulars of this case have already appeared. On Friday evening deceased was riding on the shafts of a dray, which Robert Kirby, now in the above hospital with a broken thigh, was driving along the Cam bridge-road, near one of the arches of the Eastern Counties Rail way. The noise of a down-train frightened the dray.horses, and they started away. Deceased jumped off and, trying to stop the horses, got entangled in the traces, was thrown down, and one of the wheels passed over the upper pait of his body, causing injuries of which he died in that hospital on Saturday last. Kirby was also knocktd down, and his thigh fractured by the same accident. His recovery is uncertain. Verdict, " Accidental death." FAT AL STEAM EXPLoSitm— ftle-d , tv afti•rno , n a man named Samuel Norcott, aged 45 years, an engineer's assis tant, expired in Guy' Hospital, from the effects of the severe in juries he had sustained by being scalded by the escape of steam on board the Wasp, a Richmond steamer, under circumstances already narrated in this journal. - IVIONEY - AND CITY NEWS. The meeting of the Blackwall Railway shareholders, held yes terday, was for the purpose of obtaining the sanction of the pro prietors to an issue of shares for the formation of a junction be tween that and the Eastern Counties line. The shares are to be appropriated at the rate of one new share for every six shares of original capital, and the directors speak with great confidence of the success of the projects they hale connected with the under taking. The remarks that have lately been made in the House of Com mons upon subjects connected with the currency have caused the same subjects to be discussed in the City, where probably mere practical knowledge of such matters is to be found. With respect to Mr. Hume's project for relieving the public 0 ( light sovereigns by establishing Government agencies in different parts of the kingdom, which should take gold coin at its intrinsic value, and do for the provinces the work which the Bank of England performs for London, it is looked upon as all but im possible of execution, Every one of the agencies must be supplied with a large stock of Government money, and with power to in crease such stcck if found insufficient. By this a great deal 0( cash would be taken out of circulation, and the agents, holding A most responsible office, would necessarily require considerable sala ries. So expensive, it is believed would be the machinery of the scheme, that the outlay would far exceed any good to be promot , " by it. That there are instances of provincial tradespeople taking advantage of the current belief in light sovereigns, and thfrautliol the humbler classes, there is too much reason to believe; but, on the whole, the public seem to be satisfied with the system that has been at work since the last three years. A supposed deficiency of silver has likewise been brought he!'" public attention. The Irish railways have, indeed, abstracted some silver from the circulation for the purpose of wages ; and the Dutch, who have recently been coining, have come in as large Pur chasers of silver bullion, that metal being the standard of the ir country. But, after all, it is questionable whether the deficiency in silver coin is to any important extent much greater than it usual l y is about the time of harvest, when a large quantity is used for the payment of labour. The Mint is, at the present time, making ne w ' silver coin, after having suspended its operations, it is said, on 24 . count of some damage sustained by the machinery. The B ank England has a large supply of silver bullion in its vaults, which 't is ready to sell to Government, and therefore there is ever( reason to suppose that the demand will be very soon supPlie d ' unless the public mind be needlessly disturbed en the subject, f to ?! it is well known that a belief in a deficiency is very likely create one. The result of the last meeting of Mexican Bondholders is well known. rhey decided upon taking legal steps to compel Meese,* Lizardi and Co. to transfer to the new agents, Messrs. Schneider' the funds which they so unaccountably detained. That according to every principle of equity, as understood by merchants, the lat . agents were bound to appropriate to the bondholders only the mon e i they received on account of the dividends, nobody seemed to enter. fain the slightest doubt ; and we do not believe that a single impar tial person was to be found who agreed to the doctrine that debt; due from Mexico to Messrs. Lizardi could be justly set off aga'r' s this specific fund. Still there has been great anxiety CO see se..,° legal opinion on the subject, and hence the following opinion of in!, James Russel, the Chancery barrister, which has been taken n, the Committee of Bondholders preliminary to their proceedi l l will be read with great eagerness, It will be seen that public In legal opinion are precisely in harmony with each other:— . „ "By the agreement of 1937, one-sixth of the Custoin.ii n „," - : duties of Vera Crua and Tampico is appropriated to the p s Y l" ;. of the interest en the bends; and, la order to segues its W 1 :1 0 plication, it is paid by the administrators of the Custom. int o o hands of two Commissioners, one of whom is nominated hi t bondholders. In the hands of the Commissioners this one-siS t ' o d severed from the general funds of the Mexican Government,' it is thenceforth clothed with a trust for the bondholders. th° By a subsequent arrangement the share of the Customs , appropriated has been increased from one-sixth to o ne-6 ith ,j Though the Mexican Government could not, without viols"' „ , good faith, have lessened the fund, it was quite competent them to increase it ; and the one-fifth when received 11 ,0 Commissioner is equally clothed with a trust, and for the '- purposes as the one-sixth would have been. • ai " The funds are transmitted by the Commissioner to Lizar „ j s Co., the agents of the Mexican Government ; but the transinl',-0, is merely for the purpose of distribution among the bon dholu' io The transmission is made for the purpose, not of destroying t o trust, but of carrying it into effect. Lizardi and Co. re ceirr e , funds subject to a specific appropriation. Of that appropria t To of the trust to which the funds are thus subject--Lisard i a n " d have complete notice : they are themselves trustees of th e fun ~,If soon as the moneys come into their hands, and they cannot w ill them to any purpose other than the payment of the interest on tO bonds, without violating obligations and duties too plai n t° mistake's. al t#l " If Lizardi and Co. have made advances for the gene' ,on• poses of the Mexican Government, and if on this separa te ac >o a debt is due to them, they must • seek payment of that de bt oil the Mexican Government ; and they may justly retain and I _ ° ,o in their hands on the general account of the Mexican Governwinto But the funds in question were funds which even that Gover• ec oli had no right to divert from the bondholders. If the Sgol, Government had directed Lizardi and Co. to apply the one_ u o f the Customs remitted by the Commissioners to the discha r g e tins private debt due from Mexico to LiZarill and Co., that dite'oes would not have entitled them to retain the money fo r their ,tios use, and to attempt to do so without the sanction, and in °l'PVit to the orders if the Government, is as unjusti fi able in law/a in morality." lso I sjetl n The opinions of Mr. Turner and Mr. Malins h ave taken, and, as the Committee state, entirely concur in Mr. view. It may be worth while to remind some of our read er ; on e , the reasoning above as to the change from the one sixth to ,h oen fifth is nearly the same as that put forward under this hea d ' t he the point was first started. There seems little doubt that iiroti' will now take its course without any technical impectinient--..
