HOUSE OF LORDS. ROYAL ASSENT. The House sat to-day, shortly before Four o'clock, for the purposed giving the Royal assent to the follow ing Bills: — Alterations in Pleadings. West India Appeals. Defects in Leases Act Amendment. Process and Practice (Ireland). Kew and Petersham Vicarage. Londonderry and Coleraine Railway. Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway. Walsall Improvement and Market Act (1848, Amend ments). The Lords Commissioners were Lord Langdale, the Earl of Carlisle, and Earl Pa linto. The House then adjourned during pleasure. Their Lordships re -assembled at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. The Earl of CARLISLE presented several petitions praying for an alteration in the lan• regulating beer-shops. Lord LYTTELTON presented petitions against Sun day labour in the Post-office. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER presented a peti tion from certain inhabitants of the county of Kent in favour of an extension of the jurisdiction of county courts; also a petition for additional accommodation to assistant•surgeons in the Navy. The Earl of HARDWICKE presented a petition from Cambridgeshire complaining of agricultural distress. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented several peti tions against Sunday labour in the Post-office. PREVENTION OF SUNDAY FAIRS BILL. _ _ . The Earl of CARLISLE moved the;eeond;;Ziog of this bill.—Agreed to. AUSTRALIAN COLONIES BILL. Lord LY TTELTON feared it was in vain to ask that the discussion on this Bill should be taken on going into Committee, instead of on the second reading. Earl GREY was understood to oppose the postpone ment of the discussion. In answer to the Earl of FITZWILLIAM, Earl GREY said that he bad no objection to lay be fore the House some most important dispatches which had been received from Australia, on the subject of emi gration, but those dispatches bore but indirectly upon the Australian Colonies Bill. Lord MONTEAGLE thought that all documents relating to emigration and land sales ought to be be fore the House before they were called on to discuss the Bill before the House. Earl GREY would, in moving the second reading of the Bill, state his reasons for so doing, and it would then be competent to his Noble Friend to answer him. DISTRESS FOR RENT (IRELAND) BILL. The Earl of LUCAN moved the second reading of this Bill. The object of the Bill was to re-enact a clause which had been repealed by the Bill of 1846, a Bill which had passed in the month of August, when the greater number of the Noble Lords connected with Ireland were absent from the House. It was very true it had been introduced upon the recommendation of the Commissioners, but he differed entirely from the Commissioners on that subject. The law which was repealed authorised the landlord to distrain growing crops, and he was convinced that power had never been abused. The fact of the existence of that law was suffi cient to secure the payment of the rent of the landlord, and its repeal was uncalled for. The repeal had been most injurious. Tenants now reaped their crops on Sun days and during the night, and thus robbed their land lords. The Government ought to have provided a re medy for this evil, and not have left it to an independent Member like himself to introduce this measure. The Lanolord and Tenant Bill they had waited in va'n for, and it would afford no adequate remedy to the evil. The reaping and removal of growing crops should be made a misdemeanour. The power of distraint on growing crops existed in'England, and it ought to exist in Ireland, where the landlord bad to pay poor -rates for his smaller tenants, and was liable for arrears of rates, which was not the casein England. In England a landlord could get rid of a tenant who owed six months' rent, which was not the case in Ireland, and therefore the Irish landlord ought to have the same remedy against growing crops which the English land lord had. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no objection to agree to the second reading of the Bill, for the purpose of considering in Committee whether it would not be possible to devise a remedy for that which he admitted was an evil. The Marquis of WESTMEATH thought there could be no injury done to a tenant by giving the landlord the power of seizing a standing crop, because, if the tenant were aggrieved, he could sue out a replevin. The Earl of GLENGALL supported the Bill. The Bill was then read a second time. SHERIFF OF WESTMORLAND BILL. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, this Bill was read a first time. *UNDAY TRADING PREVENTION BILL. The Earl of HARROWBY moved the committal of this Bill. Lord BROUGHAM looked upon Bills of this nature with great anxiety. No man was more convinced than himself of the necessity of the observance ot the Sab bath, but ho feared the adoptioa of measures which, by overdoing it, by straining too hard, should make the observance of the Sabbath unpopular, and defeat the object which they all had in view, He hoped the Bill would be very fully considered in all its provisions before it received the assent of Parliament. Why should such a nice distinction as this be introduced, that you might sell milk and cream, but nut tea or sugar? Now this Bill introduced this distinction. Again, it per mitted shaving and hair-dressing' before ten o'clock, but not after. Then newspapers were permitted to bo sold on Sunday, but not Bibles or Prayer books. If you walited to know the odds on the Derby or the Oaks you might buy Bell's Life in London, but with regard to a Bible or a *Prayer-bouk—oh, no! you must not buy a Bible or a Prayer -book. These were a few of the anomalies of the Bill, and he hoped it would ;receive the greatest consideration before it was passed. An address, it was incredible, but it was truo—(Cheers)—an address had been voted by the other House that all Post-office proceedings should be stopped on a Sunday.—(ilear,and cheers.) All mails wore stopped on a Sunday. The Earl of HARROWBYThis Bill does not in terfere with the Poet-office. - . 'Lord BROUGHAM—Did the Noble Lord imagine he was such an idiot as not to know that ; but he feared that the Bill might follow ibis, and he had reason fur his fears when he considered the un qualified and outrageous address which had been agreed to by the other House by a considerable majority. Of course they would follow it up by an ad dreis that all ships should lie too on a Sunday. There was no country iu which the sabbath was better ,ob served than it was in England, and there was no great city in which the sabbath was less broken than London, but he feared that if this course of legislation was pursued a reaction would be the consequence, and the Sabbath would be less observed than it was at present. The Earl of HARROWBY defended the Bill, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. The following Bills were read a third time:— Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway. Stourbridge Union Rates. ROYAL ASSENT. The Usher of the Black Rod her• appeared at the bar of the House, and summoned the Speaker to the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given to certain Bills (for which see Lords' report). PETITIONS.. Mr. MUNTZ pre!ented a petition against slave. grown sugar from Birmingam. Mr. HARRIS presented a petition from Norwich to the same effect ; also petitions from the same place aganst capital punishment, and in favour of the Mar riage Bill. Colonel LINDSAY presented a petition from Wigan, praying that the Savings Bank Bill might be referred to a Select Committee. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY presented a petition from a savings bank' in Norfolk to the same effect. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented a petition from the board of guardians at Rochdale against cer tain clauses in the Local Assessments Bill now befcre the House. Lord DUDLEY STUART presented a petition from the ratepayers of St. rincras against the Interments Bill. Mr. HAMILTON presente d a petition from Exeter, against any further grant to the College of Maynooth. Mr. WYLD presented petitions from the ratepayers and inhabitants cf St. James, Piccadilly, St. Anne, Soho, Camden-town, London and its vicinity, and others, praying for alteration in the Metropolitan Interments Bill.

SLAVE GROWN SUGAR. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY gave notice that he should, in the event of the motion o f t h e Right Hon. B4ronet (Sir E. Buxton), being negatived, bring under the consideraion of the House the Act of the , ith September, 1848, with the view of preventin g the expiration, in 1851, of the duties on foreign and slave grown sugar. COFFEE. Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that on Thursday, the 13th of June, he would move fur a Select Committee to in quire into the causes which gave rise to decline in the importation of foreign and colonial coffee. CHURCH BUILDING ACT. Mr. ADDERLEY inquired whether it was the inten tion of the Government to introduce any Bill for the amendment of the Church Building Act ? Sir G. GREY replied that a dra't of a Bill on the subject was in preparation, founded on the report of the Commission, and he hoped shortly to lay it before the House. THE CENSUS. In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE, Sir G. GREY said it was the intention of Gorrn ment to introduce a Bill this session for the purpose of LONDON, taking a census of the population, but be was unable to state at what period. MZTROPOLITAN INTERMENTS BILL. Lord DUDLEY STUART wished to appeal to the Right Hon. Baronet the Home Secretary with regard to the Interments Bill. Could the Right Hon. Baronet, under all the circumstances of the case, find it con sistent to proceed with` this Bill on Monday? Last Monday ,the House went into Committee pro forma to enable the Right Hon. Baronet to introduce certain amendments. Those amendments had neither been printed nor circulated till this morning, and to his know ledge there were many Hon. Members who had not seen the amended Bill up to that moment, and he therefore put it to the Right Hon. Baronet whether it was right to proceed with this important Bill till Honourable Members had had an'opportunity of consultingjtheir con stituents upon it.—(Hear, hear.) Sir DE LACY EVANS made a similar appeal to the Right Hon. Baronet. Sir GEORGE GREY did not think his Noble Friend had made a reasonable request. The Bill had been committed pro forma, with the view of introducing certain alterations, which were yesterday printed and circulated, and which principally related to the principle of compensation that ought to be afforded to parties who might be injured by the operation of the Bill. He therefore could not consent to delay the fur ther progress of the Bill, but if there was any clause which the Noble Lord wished to have postponed for the purpose of consulting his constituents upon it, he would readily assent to that course.—(Hear, hear.) Sir B. HALL said those amendments were really of the most vital importance; and the Bill itself would be the groundwork of similar Bills throughout the king dom, and it must therefore be carefully watched. He concurred in the application to postpone the measure. THE ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL. Mr. HORSMAN gave notice that on Monday next he would ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Government if he could fix a day for the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Bill. On a former occasion be (Mr. Horsman) remembered that delay, in proceeding with this measure was asked, because of its being in the House of Lords,' and now delay was urged because of its being out of the House of Lords. EVICTIONS IN IRELAND. Mr. P. SCROPE asked the Home Secretary whether the Government had taken the opinion of the law officers of the Crown as to the legality of the wholesale evic tions, going on in Ireland ? He (M r . S crope ) wou ld I continue to repeat his question every week during the session, and so long as those convictions continued. Sir G. GREY saidithat the Honourable, Gentleman had given him (Sir George Grey) no notice of his question, and, therefore, he Should postpone his answer mail the next occasion on which the Hon. Gentleman re peated his question. SLAVE GROWN SUGAR. On the motion for the reading of the order of the day, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that on a former occasion the Hon. Gentleman who had a motion on the subject of slave grown sugar on the paper had postponed it at th e request o f th e Government on the understanding th a t a G overnmen t n i g ht s hould be given up to him, he hoped the House would agree that the orders of the day should be postponed until the Hon. Gentleman's motion had been disposed of. Sir E. BUXTON then rose,' add' after presenting nu merous petitions from Gl asgow, t h e I s l an d o f G rena d a , St. Vincent, Belf as t, S out h ampton, an d ot h er p l aces , proceeded to move, that it is unjust and impolitic to ex pose the free grown sugar of the British colonies and possessions abroad to unrestricted competition with the sugar of foreign slave-trading countries. He said he came forward with great diffidence, and with a great feeling of inefficiency, to bring forward such a great and important question as this before the House of Comment, but feeling as he did that this question was of great import ance to the West Indies, it seemed to him of still greater importance to the interests of humanity, he had there fore ventured to throw himself upon the kindness of the House of Commons. He must say, in beginning, that be brought forward this motion in no spirit of hostility to her Majesty's Government. If he were to turn to the men who had done the most to promote tLe interests of humanity, so far as the slave trade was con cerned, he should certainly turn to those gentlemen who occupied the seat below. He must return thanks to them for what they had done at various times and in various ways to put down and to prevent the extension of the slave trade. It was his intention not to bring forward this matter as a matter of trade, though he was well aware of the great importance of this question to the West Indian colonies. He would shortly enter into the condition because the question of the West Indies was so connected with the question of the slave trade that it was impossible to separate the two. But his object was to consider this question as a question of high principle rather than as a principle of trade. It was in 1846 that th e measure was introduced by her Majesty's Government, against which he now directed his chief complaints. The effect of that Act was in some degree mitigated, at least for the time being, by the measure which was subsequently passed by the Govern ment in 1848. No one would deny that in that year, when the late Lord George Bentinck was the chairman of a Committee on the importation of foreign sugar, the greatest distress existed in the West Indies. lo did not mean to pay,that the same amount of distress now existed in those colonies, because, as he had said, it had been much mitigated by the Act of 1848, but he be lieved that the accounts of the great prosperity which now existed, were far from being true; and belied no doubt that when the duties on our colonial sugar were brought down to the level of those on foreign and slave- grown sugar, the same distress which existed in 1848 would exist again. In BritishiGuiana, where the soil was equal to any in the world, thel value of property was very much reduced in value; the estate of the bishop, which cost 30,000 dollars, was soli a short time back for little more than a third of that sum That showed that very little permanent prosperity was anticipated in British Guiana from the Act of 1848 In the West Indies, he learnt from a communication which he had received, that owing to the low prices of sugar, a great number of estates were now out of culti vation. Great stress bad been laid upon the Act of 1846 as improving the condition of the West Indies, and whereas if any i m p rovement had taken place, it was to be attributed to the Act of 1848. Let them turn for a moment to the condition of Cuba. They found that the exports of sugar from Cuba had increased from 145,000 tons in 1840 to 270,000 tons in 1850, and the increase was likely to continue increas ing. True, the number of slaves in Cuba bad altogether diminished, but while the production of sugar had increased the growth of coffee had been greatly reduced, in fact the production had fallen from 24,000 to 10,000 tons, and the result had been that 38,000 slaves had been transferred from the culti vation of coffee to the cultivation of sugar. He need not enter into the state of the Brazils, but ho might observe, in passing, that ther e a l so t h e quantity of sugar exported had considerably increased and there also a great degree of prosperity also pre vailed amongst the planters. Indeed, the Emperor of Brazils, in making his speech to the Cortes, informed them that the empire was greatly in want of labour, thereby showing, that notwithstanding the increased export of sugar, notwithstanding the great degree of prosperity which the empire still enjoyed, the growers were nevertheless desirous of fnrther extending 'their cultivation. It was, howev er , not on account o f - the West Indies that he made this motion, but on behalf of the great cause of humanity.—(Hear, hear.) In 1815 we gave instruction to the Duke of Wellington, by which he went abroad; and at that time he proposed that a convention should be made with the different states of Europe, stipulating that we should prohibit the im portation of the produce grown in countries where the African slave trade was still carded on —not only in our own country but into all the countries of Europe which should enter into the treaty. At that time we gave 300,000/. to Portugal, and 400,0001. to Spain, to induce them to put down the slave trade. It was quite unnecessary to remind the House that we gave 20,000,0001. in 1833 in order that slavery should be extinguished in oar own colonies. He thought every one would acknowledge, that if there was any principle which this country had maintained during the present century, at home and abroad, in our treaties with foreign powers, and in our domestic concerns, it was, that having cgorneauttraions.d Be.L hoped once for all a b ol i shed the slave trade in our own colonie s , we would do all that in us lay as -a Christiannatitohna,t to th p e ut ti i m t e do w w o n uld in n o e th ve e r r An f o 6 occ a sion , h h e e a r t . r ) e m come when thi s country would give up that great princi ple.—(Hear, n A o m r e h ri i e s an co s u la n v t e ry ow wh ner en sa h id e r o e n . •membered • that God was just. lie (Sir E. Buxton) thought that we might tremble in this country i that we should see the day when we should give up the great principle that the slave trays was to be opposed by every means which was likely to be effective. He was told that if we kept out sugar we would also keep out cotton and tobacco from this country. H e saw no reason why he should not make an attempt to put down sugar, which was one cr i me because, unfortunatey, w e w ere so involved that we could not avoid introducing slave-grown cotton. The plan which was adopted by the Right Hon. Gen tleman opposite (Sir R. Peel) to keep out slave grown sugar was a wise one, and he fur- one should have been glad to see it carried out fur ther than it had been. If it were said that it was imposible to return to that plan, he would be rather disposed lo increase than to decrease the duties on foreign grown sugar.—(Hear.) 'Let the House reflect upon the consequences of the present system, the miseries of every slave who was engaged in the cultivation, from his first seizure in Africa to his life of toil and misery across the Atlantic. There might be some difference of opinion as to _ the maw nowstrtt e o e f ilt the er.

Ho thought that the most miserable condition to which a man could be condemned Ives that of a slave on a sugar estate in the island of Cuba. If they placed our colonists in free competition with the producers of slave grown sugar, they must make up their minds that they were creating at the same time the greatest amount of suffering, misery, and degradation, which could belong to any eivilizcd condition, and not only would that be the case, for they would also put a stop to tho pro gress of civilization in Africa, that part of the world to to which r t i he ly, directed.

He was quite satisfied that thepeople of this country would willingly and gladly forego any advantage that they might derive from cheap sugar, if the /louse took upon itself to ma ntain a high principle on the ground of humanity and justice, and he believed that it might cal culate oa the support of the great majority of the people, if it NO the courage to pass such a measure as that FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1850. which he proposed.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by making the motion of which he had given notice. M. W. EVANS seconded the motion; and in doing so his begged it might be understood that he was no sup porter of protection against free trade. He looked upon this question as one of either freedom or slavery. If in the course he was now adopting, be was inconsistent with wbat he bad hitherto done, he was in the situation of those who considered second thoughts best. (LEFT SPEAKING.)

CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY Yesterday, on the re-assembling of the Committee, Mr. Cardwell in the chair, after hearing Mr. War ren, for the Commercial, and Mr, Corrie, for the Bri tish Gas Light Companies' in opposition to the Pro moters of the Central Gas Consumers' Bill. The Hors. CHAIRMAN, addressing the parties said, reference had been made in the course of the pro ceedings to the excitement that had existed in the City on the subject of better and cheaper gas, and read a few observations which he was unanimously desired by the Committee to make before clearing the room :—lt is now agreed on both sides that gas shall hereafter be supplied to the citizens of London at 4s. per 1,000 cubic feet, with the possibility of a further reduction in price. It has appeared in evidence that all parties originally objected to the establishment of a new company, if the object could be attained through the instrumentality of companies already established. It has further appeared that the old companies steadily refused to make the required concession, and were only induced at last to do so by the organisation and perseverance of the promoters of this Bill, and that the gas consumers of the City are indebted to the promoters for the advantage thus ob tained. Having referred to these particulars, the Committee are willing, if the parties desire it, to adjourn the consideration of the preamble. Mr. HILL, Q C., on the part of the promoters, had no objection to that course. Mr. HOPE, QC , was instructed on behalf of the City companies to say that they had no desire for an adjournment, but would leave the matter with the Committee. The room was then cleared, and the Committee having deliberated about a quarter of an hour, and being given to understand that there was no proba bility of any compromise or arrangement being made between the parties, the public were re-admitted, and The CHAIRMAN said he had to acquaint them that the question "that the preamble of the Bill is proved," had been put and agreed to, and that the decision of the Committee had been unanimous. With respect to the two companies trading without the,walls of the City, the Commercial and the British Gas Light Com • pany, the Committee would' be desirous in framing any clauses to take the course which might be most reasonable as regarded their respective interests. Mr. Ilmtsaid he hoped, as far as possible, his clients would concur, and the Committee adjourned till Mon day next. course in a distracted state, and not till the mcrning did the possibility of the child being locked up in the church all night occur to her. The s,xton was applied to; and on opening the church door the child was found seated at one of the windows She state; that she slept soundly till the sun shone in at the windows ; and she was not at all frightened ; and that immediately she awoke she went to the window, in the expectation of seeing some one pass whom she might call to her assistance.— Brighton Gazette. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 30. (Continued from our Fourth Edition of last night.) Air. COW AN seconded the motion. SUNDAY LABOUR IN THE POST-OFFICE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could assure his Noble Friend and the House, that in opposing the motion he was fully sensible of the feeling enter tained by many persons upon this subject, and should be exceedingly sorry to he supposed, from any word that he should say, to differ at all from the view the Noble Lord had expressed of the value of the Sabbath-day. (Hear, hear.) But this motion went but a very small way towards carrying that view into effect. If the ob ject were that no libour should be performed on the Sabbath, a very difiet eat motion would be required; be cause, even as to persons employed in the public service, the Noble Lord was in error when he supposed that these were the only persons upon whom Sunday labour was imposed. What did he say to the case ot the Police, the Exciseman, the Coast Guard, the Custom-house officer, all of whom were often called upon on the Sunday ? (Hear, hear.) He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had mentioned persons connected with his own depart ment ; but there were many other class of servants, pri vate and public, from whom the Noble Lord could not venture to propose to take away the burden of Sunday labour. That it should be reduced to a minimum, both in public and private establishments, no one felt more strongly than himself;— (Hear.) And he hoped to show that upon this subject the Government had not been neg ligent, but had within the last two years carried that principle to an extent never contemplated previously, and far exceeding what had been done in the last halt century.—(Hear.) He had to thank the Noble Lord for acknowledging so frankly what the Government had done; because for the last six months the Government had been subjected to the grossest mis-statements of fact as to what they had been doing for the past two years.—(Hear.) For those two years the Noble Lord at the head of the Post-office department, and gentlemen connected with the administration of that office, had been unremitting in their endeavours to reduce the amount of Sunday labour—(Hear)—and it was a proof how strangely things were sometimes tsken up in this coun try, that the very measure which effected the largest re duction was treated as one in the opposite direction, and tending very largely to increase Sunday labour!— (Hear, bear.) He could not help suspecting that some portion of the feeling manifested had taken its rise in the mis-statements which were circulated in the country upon this question—(Heer, hear)—he did not at all mean to say that an honest feeling did not exist upon the sub ject, but really the most extraordinary mis-statements had been circulated, and conduct was imputed to the Government the very reverse of that which they were pursuing. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He would state generally the effect of the measures the Govern ment had pursued. The effect had been to relieve from any Sunday labour, preventing attendance on divine worship, no less than 8,000 persons in the United King dow.—(Hear, hear.) The measure which excited so much feeling was the temporary employment of about 25 clerks in London on the Sunday for a very few months; 27 clerks had been employed in the London Post-office on Sunday for years without exciting obser vation, and it was proposed to employ temporarily 25 more; and that was a portion of a general measure—and it was unjust to consider what took place in one parti cular town and exclude what took place in the rest of the country—that was part of a general measure, by which in England upwards of 6,000 persons were relieved. It had since been extended to Scotland and Ireland, and 2,000 more were relieved.—(Hear, hear.) But what had been the effect with respect to London, where the out cry arose? Why, not only had the additional employ ment of 25 persons (to bring the new system into opera tion) been discontinued, but the 27 persons heretofore employed had by subsequent arrangements been reduced to four.—(Hear, hear.) In London the 27 persons em ployed had been reduced to a clerk and three messengers. and in the country generally the persons connected with the Post-office had been relieved to the number of 8,000; and with the exception of those who attended (as we under stood) to the receipt and delivery of the mails, and who would not be relieved even by the proposal of the Noble Lord, no person was debarred from the opportunity of at tending public worship on Sunday.—(Hear, hear.) He would appeal to the House whether such attacks as had been made upon the Post-office department were jus tified.—(Hear, hear.) He had certainly felt very strongly the exceeding injustice of the attacks made upon the department by persons who never took the trouble to ascertain what the facts were.—(Hear.) He hoped the House would take what the Government had done as a pledge and earnest that they were willing to the greatest possible degree they believed practicable to carry further this reduction of Sunday labour—(Hear)—and he was perfectly ready, with reference to the latter part of this resolution, to undertake that inquiry should be mad• how far it was possible still further to reduce the con veyance of the mails on Sunday.—(Hear, hear.) But the proposal of the Noble Lord was, first, that there should be no collection of letters on the Sunday in the country--that was, that the Post-office messengers should not be sent round to collect the letters, but tt at people should be at liberty to put them in on the Sun day—though, if there was to be no dispatch on the Sunday. that would not he: much. Now, so far as the Post-office was concerned, this was (we understood) in operation; so far as the Post office was earl cereed, it was perfectly easy to close the office; it was es question for the public to determine; and where any district had expressed its wish that there should be no collection and no de livery of letters, that wish of the inhabitants was con formed to.—(Hear.) The second question was one of greater difficulty, because it involved a very consider able delay in the transmission of letters to many parts of the country. It was, after all, not so much a question for the Government as for the country to decide. If the country was prepared to forego the receipt and delivery of its letters on Sunday, and to submit to the inconvee nience which the delay of the transmission of mails on Sunday would impose upon it, there was no difficulty, so far as the Post-office was concerned. But he believed that the country would find that this imposed excee l ing great difficulty and hardship upon it—(llear) and he confessed he thought ho was faithfully represent ing the great majority of the people when he said that such a course ought not to be adopted.—(Hear.) A petition was presented from Bath, but there came a counter-petition from many persons in that place repre senting the hardship that the measure asked for would inflict upon them ; they stated that the persons living there had connexions in every part of the globe, and that early intelligence from them and communication to theta was an object of great solicitude.—(Hear.) Was not that so with all persons of all classes, from the highest to the lowest? In the case of the highest, indeed, many means of obviating the difficulty might be resorted to. It was easy to send a message by electric telegraph, or to send a messenger —for the Noble Lord did not propose to stop the trains. But that was not in the power of the great majority—it was not in the power of the poorer or the working-classes ; and believing that to them, no less than to the wealthy, early intelligence from relations and friends was an object of great interest and anxious soli citude, he was unwilling to debar them from the advan tage which the Post -office gave them.—(Hear, hear.) The question had been raised in the United States, in many parts of which stricter notions prevailed upon the observance of the Sabbath than in England; but upon consideration they came to the same conclusion as ho hoped that House would come to. They were desirous of a diminution of Sunday labour, but they felt that it could not be utterly discontinued; that the comfort and happiness of a large portion of the people were essen tially promoted by the regular transmission of the mails. —(Bear, hear.) This was not a question of revenue; the revenue would not be affected by the decision; he utterly disclaimed that consideration; but he belie. ed the comfort and happiness of a great portion of the people were promoted by a very small degree of Sunday labour in the transmission of the mails, and he believed the evil was much less than the advantage. Wherever Sunday labour could be diminished, the Government were per fectly ready to diminish it; but they did not think it would conduce to the real happiness of the great body of the people that it should be utterly and entirely dis continued.—(Hear, hear.) Col. THOMPSON said, that regard being had to the part which he had formerly taken with respect to this question, he might expose himself to the charge of cowardice if he did not at once announce his decided objection to the motion. The Noble Lord who intro duced the motion said ho would decline all theological argument, but, at the same time, he declared that all scriptural churches and all sects were unanimous upon the question of Sabbath observance. Now, for his part, he believed that as long as Christianity, and not Judaism, was the religion of the great majority of the people of this country, the belief would prevail amongst a con siderable number that the observance of Sunday after the Judaical manner was not only not enjoined by Scripture, but absolutely prohibited by it. The great Author of Christianity himself was exposed to the same imputations as might be cast upon the humblest of his followers, when he went against the received opinion of his country and his age with respect to the observance of the Sabbath. Another high authority, second only to Christ—the apostle par excellence— the Apostle of the Gentiles—would allow no man to judge another in re spect of the Sabbath-day. Christians were relieved from the most onerous of Jewish rites only on the same grounds and authority by which they were liberated from the severe observance of the Sabbath. No such observ ance of the Sabbath was required by the early Christian Church. The expression of the " Lord's day" was , used by the early Christian Church because it was thought proper to devote the first day of the week t o th e I which commemoration of the great event w it was thought could never be brought too frequently before the eyes of Christians. But the Lord's day than was observed without severity; the early Christians merely held meetings and made charitable contributions on that day. Luther made it a point to buy sonlethinx every Sunday, in order, as he said, to prove his Christian liberty; and Calvin said the only reason he could assign fur the ob servance of the Sabbath being so strictly enjoined to the Jews was, that it was the only means by which relaxa tion could be provided for the multitude of slaves they hold in bondage. The Church of England gave the Commandments from Exodus, but drew no inference from them. It had fallen to his lot to experience the inconvenience arising from the London Post-oliice being closed on Sundays. He once attended on a Saturday the deathbed of his wife's brother, who fell a victim to an attack of cholera in a village near the metropolis. The young man died at three o'clock on the Mon day morning, and he was unable to tend A letter on the subject to his sister in France until eight o'clock on the same evening. The impossibility of communicating aggravated his sufferings at the moment. It was possible . that some rich commercial men who could afford to spend 20/. cccasionally on an express would be very glad to see their poorer brethren deprived of the advantage of re ceiving letters on Sunday; but there was no general feel ing amongst the commercial classes in favour of the pro posed change. He hoped that the time was approaching when Sunday would be rendered practically advantageous to that large class of men in this country which was without political influence, but was fast advancing in knowledge and intelligence, and which would soon en force the necessity of admitting it within the barriers of the con.setution. Every facility should be given to enable that class to obtain literary information on its day of rest. The House would be takir 6 e a step in the opposite direction to declare that th e humbler classes should neither send nor receive communications on Sundays. Mr. PLUMPTRE expressed his dissent from the views of the last speaker, and maintained that the holy obser vance of the Sabbath-day was enjoined by the decalogue. The analogy which the Chancellor of the Exchequer sought to establish between policemen and letter-carriers and deliverers failed, because the policeman's labours were labours of necessity. Mr. MUNTZ was glad that the Noble Lord had altered the latter part of his motion as it stood on the paper, because, although he was anxious to prevent the delivery of letters on Sunday, he had no wish to stop the transmission of mails on that day. Much had been said about the hardship to which Post-office officials were subjected under the present system, but the sys tem was productive of great inconvenience to private in dividuals also. For his part, he was quite tired of reading and writing letters on Sunday.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) If ail persons were placed un the same footing no injury could arise to any one from the aboli tion of the Sunday delivery. Take his word fur it, that, if the Noble Lord's proposition were carried into effect throughout the kingdom, everybody would rejoice at it after a fortnight's experience. It was farcical to pre tend that the delivery of letters on a Sunday was a mat ter of essential importance to every petty provincial town when the merchants of this great metropolis went without their correspondence on that day with out complaint. He did not rely so much on the religious part of the question as others did ; but he thought every man was entitled to the Sunday as a day of rest, and to employ it as ho liked. He cared not whether the observance of Sunday sprang from Judaism or nct. However established, it was a benefaction to mankind. His own experience sa• tisfied him that if the Legislature and the Government were not to maintain the observance of Sunday, it would soon be converted into a work-day. Masters would soon force their workmen to labour on Sundays, as some masters now compelled their men to work longer than they oughl to do on week days. For the reasons he had stated, the Noble Lord's motion should receive his cordial support. Mr. FORSTER denied that the petitions presented in favour of the Noble Lord's proposition expressed the opinion of the more intelligent portion of the commu nity. To show that such petitions were got up, he in instanced a case when, a petition having been presented purporting to be from a borough of 15,000 inhabitants, and signed, in some instances by persons whose names he did not recognise, a counter-petition was sent to him for presentation signed by the magis trates and all the principal traders and shopkeepers of the place. Ile hoped the independent Members of that House would have the courage, as ho believed they had the inclination, to oppose the motion. The House then divided, when there appeared— For Lord Ashley's motion ... 93 Against it ... 63 _ Majority ... ... —25 The announcement of the numbers was received with expressions of applause. MINISTERS' MONEY (IRELAND.) Mr. FAGAN presented several petitions against ministers' money in Ireland, and, referring to a state ment which had been made in his absence by the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, requested a repe tition of the announcement then made. After that an nouncement it would be impolitic to press his motion. Lord J. RUSSELL repeated, that as the question was under the consideration of the Government, it was desirable that the Hon. Member should not proceed with his motion, and hi had no hesitation in adding that not later than the commencement of next session the Government would be prepared to propose a measure on the subject. Mr. HUME hoped that the question relating to a similar impost in Edinburgh and Montrose would be settled at the same time. Sir G. GREY had already stated that the second re port on that subject bad been recently presented by Mr. Lefevre, but as the proposition therein mooted affected materially the interests of the Kirk of Scotland, it was desirable, before any action on the part of the Govern ment, that that body should have time to consider and express an opinion on the subject. Mt. HAMILTON had always thought the question of ministers' money one which ought to be settled by the Government. There were circumstances which it was desirable to remedy, and he hoped the question, so long disputed, would now be satisfactorily adjusted. ADMISSION OF JEWS TO PARLIAMENT. Lord J. RUSSELL, with reference to the notice he had given, that he should in Committee of the whole House move fur leave to bring in a Bill to "regulate the mode of administering the oath of abjuration to persona professing the Jewish religion," observed that it was not his intention to make any s:atement on the subject, for he did not think the House would object to grant him leave to bring in the Bill, seeing they had twice passed a measure based on the same principle. In moving the second reading of the Bill, he should state the reasons on which the measure was fouuded, and why he thought legislation on the subject desirable. There being so much doubt and uncertainty with respect to the law, and it being a matter for consideration whether Jews might not come to the table of the House and take the oath on as good grounds as persons belonging to the Society of Friends—a course, however, which it would be decidedly not right to take—he thought it desirable that both Houses of Parliament should have an opportunity of considering the question in all its bearings as to what was the intention of the present oath of abjuration, and what course ought to be taken in the matter. Mr. NEWDEGATE expressed his regret that, after the strong proof of religious feeling afforded that evening, the Noble Lord should have persisted in a measure which raised a question us to the maintenance of the Christian character of the House. When the Noble Lord rimed the second reading of the Bill, he should move that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Be was confident he would be supported by the same strong feeling out of doors, the force of which might be traced in the division of that evening. Mr. PLUMPTRE would second the amendment of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Newdegate) when the proper time arrived. He protested against the measure in any shape, and would take every opportunity to offer it his decided opposition. The House having then resolved itself into a Com mittee of the whole House, and after a resolution therein agreed to, Lord J. RUSSELL obtained leave to bring i❑ a Bill to " regulate the mode of administering tho oath of ab juration to persons professing the Jewish religion." The matter then dropped. COMPOUND HOUSEHOLDERS. Sir W. CLAY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law for the registration of certain persons commonly known as " compound householders," and to facilitate the exercise by such persons of their right to vote in the election of borough Members to serve in Par liament. ENGLISH AND IRISH UNIVERSITIES. On the order of the day for the resumption of the de bate. on Mr. Heywood's motion relating to this subject, Mr. GLADSTONE said, that when he gave notice, in an early part of the day, of his intention to move the postponement of this adjourned debate, it was in the be lief (which he was sure was shared by every Member who heard him) that there was not the least probabi lity, in the ordinary course of business,. that this subject would come on before eleven or twelve o'clock at night. Had he been aware of the course which business had actually taken, he know of no reason why the debate I should not have been resumed that evening. He should be the last to ask the House to show great indulgence to Members who neglected their duty; but, considering a circumstance which was known to all, (alluding, we presume, to the dinner at the Mansion-house to Lord Gough), and considering also the general expectation that it would not come on, he did not think it unrea sonable to ask the House not to go on with the discus sion that night. With the single exception of himself and the Hon. Member for the University of Dublin, all the other representatives of the Universities were absent, as were also the Right Hoe. Gentleman the Member for Tam worth and other Gentlemen who were deeply interested in the question, particularly some lawyers of great emi nence, who believed that it involved a constitutional point of great importance, and who were desirous to *pen up that topic.—(Hear, hear.) Another question which had been raised, very much to his surprise, was that the discussion should be dropped altogether. He hardly knew whether it was necessary for him to go into an argument on that matter, because it was difficult for hire to persuade himself that any Gentleman who sat in that House, and who was in the least degree con ' versant with the history of the Universities and the actual relations between them and the State, could se riously imagine that the question of an inquiry by a Royal Commission was so slight and trivial as not to de serve discussion in that House.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord the First Minister of the Crown had in the fairest manner admitted that it did deserve discussion. Ho was quite sure the Noble Lord was right, and that it was for the interest of the Noble Lord's own view of the question that it should be discussed. He begged the House to remember that they had yet bad almost no de• bate upon the question whether a royal commissio❑ should be issued—because the debate upon that point had virtually commenced with the speech of the Noble Lord at a late hour of the evening. He begged likewise to observe that the organs of the Government had ac: quainted him and the other representatives of the Uni versities in an early part of the evening in question, that the Government intended to meet the motion of the Hon, ]Member fir North Lanctt hire J (Hr.lleywood) with the previous question. He felt asoured that the turn and the torte of the debate would have been very different from what they were if Hon. Members previously had had any idea of the serious and formidable announce ment of the Noble Lord; for, however much the Noble Lord might feel the strength of the reasons which in duced him to make it, there was no denying that it WEI 6 a serious and famiClable announcetnent to snake. (Hear, hear.) lie begged to state that the intention of himself and his friends was directly to raise the question, wheth , r the proceeding which the Noble Lord had an nounced was or was not an unconstitutional proceeding. They did not intend merely to debate the question whether it was expedient to institute an inquiry into tt,e state of the Universities—not merely whether there was a case to warrant the interference of the State. The in- ' LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, May 30 . (Before the CHIEr COMMISSIONER.) • IN RR BENJAMIN STEILL. This insolvent's application to be di sc h arged was unopposed. Mr. Cooke supported. The insolvent, upon being examined by the Court, stated that he had been a publisher and bookseller in Paternoster-row for twenty-four years. He gave up copyrights of several works of sufficient value to pay the debts upon the schedule. He had borrowed 3001. of Mr. Strange, the publisher, of which he had re paid more than 200/., and Strange held two bills of exchange for the remainder, upon which he had been sued in the name of Benjamin Massey Roberts, al though he believed there was no such person in ex istence. Strange, at present, was not in England. Mr. COOKE said, he believed that Strange had not been in England since the proceedings taken against him on the part of the Queen and Prince Albert. The insolvent said he believed that was the fact. The COURT ordered the insolvent to be discharged. (Before Mr. CJmmissioner Puudars ) IN RE RICHARD BATLEY, TIIE ELDER. This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Nichols, and several creditors in person. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Sar good supported. The insolvent said he had been steward to the Earl of Mornington, and claimed from thit peer 2,800/. for services rendered. lie believed that that money would be paid, and would be divisible among the cre ditors. After an inquiry into matters connected with the schedule of no public interest, Mr. Commissioner Phillips adjourned the case, to enable the insolvent to transfer his interest in a contract to the assignee. THE PEW SysTEm.—On Sunday se'nnight, a little girl, about nine years of age, went to Hurstpierpoint church in the evening, and fell asleep in one of the pews, where she was not observed. On the congregation leaving the church, the sexton fastened all the doors.
