GREAT MEETING AT THE MANSION HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.) A public meeting of merchants, bankers, and citizens of London, was hsld at two o'clock this aft 3rnoon in the Egyptian-hall, Mansion-house, for the purpose of pro moting a subscription to erect a imitable testimonial to the momory of the late Sir R ,- )bert Peel. The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor occoped tt e chair. Some time before two o'clock, the hour of meeting, the hail was partially occupied by a respectable assemblage, and as the proceedings commenced the auditors had in creased until the apartment was pretty well filled. Among the gentlemen on, and in the vicinity of the platform, besides the Lord Mayor, we noticed Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Mr. Mousell, M.P., Mr. E. G. G. Howard, M.P., Mr. Henry Drummond, M.P., Sir J. W. Hoge, M.P., Mr. Hume, M.P., Sr E. N. Buxton, M.P, Mr. Ross Mangles, M.P., Capt. Shepherd, Chairman of the East India Company, Mr. M.aetermen, M.P., Sir Peter Laurie, Sir John Henry lly, Chairman of the Hudson's Bay Company, Sir Moses Montefiore, Alderman Sa'omens, Baron Gal amid, Mr. David Williams Wire, Mr. Under-Sheriff Millard, and many others. The LORD MAYOR said he look the chair on this ccasioa from a sincere wish to do homier to the memory of the late Sir Robert Peel.—(Cheers.) They were met together today to promote a)ublic subscription with a view to erect a suitable testir i neeial to perpetuate the memory of that eminent SLltusrza:); and, having stated the object of the meeting, he (the Lord Mayor) would content himself with leaving the matter he the hands of the gentlemen around him, sati,fiel that they would deal with it in a way worthy of its impor!aner.— (Ohc ern) Sir PETER LAURIE rote to move the first resolution, and in doing so said the history of Sir Robert Peel was written in the annals ca his cou-try for the last 40 years, and he (Sir Pater Laurie) soul I not pass a lagher eulo gium 'on the dezeaeed statesman. The objeot of the gentlemen around him in calling the meeting !his day was to allow the public an opportunity o subscribing wha sums they pleased towards a testimonial to perpetuate the m.2mury the great man whose loss they had been so sudeenly celled to deplere. Ia sink:De carry out that object, it was their desire that there shoul c ' I ha but one f men?, among the ciliz ne of London, and that ryes unanimity; and he hop d that the tes;imonial, whatever it might he which they might determine upon, should express and perpetuate the feelings, not merely 01 the cit:z 'us of Lonsioa, but of the whole country. — (L )ad cheers.) 'The Henourable Gentleman conclud-d by moving the following resolution:—'• Tnat this mset- Lig &sires to give exp.easion to the profound awl uni versal regret which pervades all :alike of the people at the irreparable loss which this country has sustained in the decease of the Right lion. Sir Rebsrt Peel, and feels that in seeking to perpetuate the record cf his public services it commands tho sympathies and enjoys the cordial co-operation of all." Captain SIII3I.IIERD, the Chairmaia of the East India Company, in seconding the resolution, said it would not be necessary for him to detain the tncetirg for any length of time in endeavouring to recommend it to their favourable regard. Ile felt it might savour of presump tion were he to attempt to pass any laboured eulogium on the merits of the distinguished and lamented statesman whose loss they all so deeply de plored. They were all aware that before the grave had closed over his honoured remains but one universal feeling of deep sympathy and regret for the loss which the country bad sustained pervaded all classes of the people throughout the length and breadth of the land. That feeling extended to all ranks of society, from the Sovereign on the throne to the humblest artizin.— (llcer, hear.) If therefore so strong and universal a feeling prevailed at this early period, what might they anticipate when time shall have exercised its softening influeuce over the feelings arising from politi cal differences of opinion?—(Bear.) Under these circum stances he (Capt. Shepherd) should be justly chargeable with presumption were he to attempt to bring for ward arguments drawn from the political principles of that great man, and much more with respect to any feelings or opinions he (Capt. Shepherd) might have in reference to them. lie would advert but to one important feature in the character of that important statesman, to which the Duke of Wellington had borne his testimony in the House cf Lords, namely, his (Sir Robert Peel's) uniform and uncompromising adherence to the principles and conviction's of truth.—(Hear, hear.) Let the meeting pause for one moment to consider the importance of that distinguishing qaality. While ad earthly honours sank into utter insignificance, they were told ho was guided through life by the princi ples of truth. He had now gone to render his account to Him who was truth itself, and who judged the motives and actions of men by the unvarying principles of truth. —(Cheers.) The name of Sir Robert Peel he (Captain Shepherd) believed would be revered throughout the whole civilized world, and the longer it was known the • more it would be venerated . by generations yet to come.—(Continued cheers) lie felt it was unnecessary to attempt further to dwell upon this im portant question. Ho felt that the sentiments that must pervade the meeting were of too sacred a character to be disturbed for one moment by political or party feelings; and he had therefore the pleasure and the melancholy gratification to second the resolution proposed by Sir Peter Laurie.—(Cheers.) Just as the Lord Mayor was about to put the resolu tion to the meeting, a well-dyes.ed elderly person stepped forward to the platform from the body of the hail, and asked permission of the L Ad Mayor to propose an amendment to the resolution. He was invited upon the platform, and to give his name, which he did by handing a card to Mr. D. W. Wire. The name, however, did not publicly transpire, nor anything else respecting him, then that he was a resident at Nottingham, The LORD MAYOR inquired if he was a, citizwi of London ? to which be replied that he was " a Cockney born and had property in Mid llesex." He also said he was a member of one of the companies in London. The LORD MAYoR intimated to him that he could only allow geutlemen to arijress the meeting who were citszens of Lendoe; but requested to see the amendment he wished to propose. This request having been come lied with, Mr. D. W. WIRE read the document to the meeting, whi,:h was to the following effect--" chat this meeting does at the sam: time with anguish and regret look upon the past policy of the depart-A statesman, in so far as he sup ported Lord John Reseed by voting for the a lmission of slave grown sugar into this country, which admission has terribly increased the trade of man stealers.— (Laughter and loud cries of " Ole, oh " and " Shame," drowned the remainder of this so-called amendment.) The LIRD MAYOR again intimated to the stranger that he could not allow him to address the meeting, or put such an amendment, and the proceedings were resumed. The first resolution was then put and carried with ac clamation, Sir Joliet HENRY PELLY, chairman of the Hudson's Bay Company,and one of the elder brethren of the Trinity House, moved the next resolution:—" That a Committee be formed, with power to add to their number, to collect subscriptions, and to consider the best means of carry ing out the objects of the meeting; and that the Lord Mayor, Sir Jamas Duke, Bart., M.P., and Baron Roths child, M.P., be requested to act as treasurers." Sir JAMES WEIR Roca, M.P., seconded the resolu tion. He said—My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, this resolution has been put into my hands with a request that I would second it. On ordinary occasions it may be incumbent on any individual who offers a suggestion to such an assembly as the present to attempt to support it by arguments, and to reason in its favour ; but I feel such on attempt would now be worse than use less. I feel that I am only the form and medium of conveying the sentiments and wishes which I am eonfi• dent are passing in the hearts and minds of all whom I have now the honour to address. The striking charac to: istic of Sir Robert Peel was devotion. I !night use the word self dedication—(Hear, hear) —to the service of his country.—(Cheers.) To him that country owes a debt which it cau only repay by recording it; grew sense of his servicet—(llear hear.) He sought no other reward while living; he disclaimed every other wish after he was gone.—(Cheers.) Sir Robert Peel com menced his political life in a period of war ; but throughout his long and glorious career, whether in or out of office, he was eminently the minis ter of peace._ (Hear, hear.) All his efforts were devoted to the improvement of the institutions and the development of the resources of the country, and to its advance in those parsuits to which war was fatal. His labours were transcendent and incessant, and the relinquishment of office scarcely tended to relieve him from their weight ; for whenever Sir Robert Peel took his seat in the great council of the nation his voice was the must influential in that assembly and threught the whole country—(Cheers.) An amount of labour which, not less from its con tinuity than from its extent, was sufli-:ient to have over whelmed most men, was eacoantered by him cheerfully and voluntarily. To him, personally, office could have been-but a burden ; his position, his fortune, and his sta tion rendered it to him a matter of indifference, save as it afforded him the means more efficiently of rendering service to his country, To that great object all his strength of mind, alhbis great and varied acquirements, all hi s a spirations, all his thoughts, and all his heart, were no:eservedly and unceasingly given. Iu the ful ness of his mental powers, when his last accents of wie• upon our ears, it pleased the dom and consel yet h u n g Almighty suddenly to withdraw him from us; but his memory is bellowed in our breasts, and the voices of men of every party, every creed, every class, and every occu pation unite in pronouncing him one of the best and wisest, the most disinterested and the most distinguished statesman that ever guided the political helm of the country .—(Loud cheers.) It was England's blessing to have such a statesman in times of trial and transition, and I believe it will be England's glory to record her sense of his services. —(Renewed cheers.) The Hon. Baronet concluded by seconding the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. Mr. HUME, M.P., supported the resolution. He had attended there to-day to offer his tribute of respect to the departed statesman. For forty years he had been an observer of his public conduct, and often had he op posed him, and as often supported his measures, and he considered he was perfectly qualified to offer an independent testimony ; and he was bound to say he had never seen his equal—so com prehensive in his views, and temperate and disinterested in all his proceedings.—(Loud cheers.) Seeing that his measures were intended for, and were attended with, public usefulness, it was with peculiar sor row that he marked the void which he had left, and as they had since his death perceived how disinterested for himself and his family he really was he thought the public were doubly bound to come forward and testify their esteem and regard for his loss. It was with these views that he himself, in his place in Parliament, had proposed that signal testimony of the respect of that House, which bad never been granted to any private individual. And he now hoped that the result of this meeting of the citizens of London would be to erect some long and enduricg testimony of the regard in which he was held in the city of which he was an enrolled citizen—(Cheers ) He most cordially supported the resolution, and he trusted the Consmittee would take into conside ration, in the execution of their duty, to make the testi monial as honourable to the departed statesman as it might be useful to the community at large.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then carried unanimously. Mr. MASTERMAN, M.P., moved the next resolution— " That the Rev. C. Marshall and Under-Sheriff Wire be requested to act as secretaries to the committe, and that the resolutions of the meeting be printed in the usual morning and evening newspapers. Baron GOLDSMID seconded the resolution. He ob served it was unnecessary for him to say but few words on this occasion, because he was certain that the departed statesman lived in the hearts of his fellow-men and woud ever live there.—(Cheers.) He had watched Sir Robert Peel through his whole life, and he had observed that no man had ever accused Sir Robert Peel cf any other motive of action than a love cf his country.—(Cheers.) Sir E. N. BUXTON, M.P., supported the resolution. He could net refrain from joining his voice to the uei versa' voice in expressing the loss which he felt had been sustained in the death of Sir R. Peel. He thought he might truly say that no man ever merited such deep iceliegs of sorrow and regret as did that illustrious ma 1. He would not attempt to enter into the great talents and indefatigable devotion or puVie services cf Sir Robert Peel, but there was one poiet upon which he wished to ask the att 'east' of the meeting. He wished so en,n02.1.0 the state of public merelyy evinced by Sir Robert Peel w th that evinced by a great prede cessor ul utfiee, Sir Robert Walpole. During his administration, Sir Robert Walpole sccarerl sinecure offices for himself equal to 14,0001, a year, and when he left office he obtained a peerage and a pen sion for life of 4,0001. a year in addition. Sir Robert Pee', on the other band, twice refused a peerage, when pressed upon him by the late Severign, King William, and by her present Majesty. He also refused' the distinction of the Garter, being oely the second commoner to n ho-n that groat honour had been uffered.—(Cheers.) He utterly declined all personal emoluments, and ele.erved that his reward should be, not the honours which he dispensed to others, but teat which he had obtaioed, and v, hie' his name would ever obtain, the love of his countrymen and the gratitude of his country.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that look ing at the great career of the great man, she least they could do, who enjoyed the benefits of his virtues and of his talents, woull be to erect some permanent monu ment to his memory, and he trusted that besides erecting a monument there might be a sum of money left to devote to some useful end. He would venture to suggest that as there was a greet hospital connected with the city of London, they might devote some portion of the money to the erection of an extra wing to that building to be called the Peel wing. He mentioned that as a personal sugges tion. The Hun. Baronet then concluded by supporting the resolution. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. HENRY 1)111[131310ND; nen _rose to more the next resolution. He said he felt he must offar some apology fur his presumption in ap pearing before them to take part in the proceedings, but he had been invited by the Lord Mayor to propose the resolution which he held in his hand. He thought the best vray would be to pay implicit obedience to all hia commands; and he was not sorry that he had bean invited. He bad been the school-fellow of Sir Robert Peel—(Hera the Hon. Gentleman seemed af fected almost to tears by his recollections, and it was with some difficulty that he could proceed with his speecb)— he had been the school-fellow of Sir Robert Peel, and he had been at college with him afterwards ; they had en tere I the House of Commons together, he had heard his first speech there, and had listened to every word cf it. Their paths in life lay wide asunder, but at no time had they met without finding that the intimacy of their child hood had been unimpaired, and up to the last period of his life he (Mr. Drummond) had had the honour t > enjoy his personal friendship. The points in his character to which he would call their attention this day should be such as should be a useful example to all, for it so hap pened that, with the exceptioa of oae great public event, there was no event in contemporary history with which the name of Sir Robert Peel was not intimately connected. They would remember that it was by him that the constabulary force had been established in Ireland, that it nas by him that consider able modifications had been effected in the criminal lip► of the country, and a hundred abuses done away with— that the Test Act had been repealei, and they would remember that many similar Acts were associated with his name.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) There was one remarkable circumstance connected with Sir R. Peel's career to which he would call their attention, and that was that in pursuing his great public objects he violated some of his dearest private affections. —(Hear.) In the instance of the bullion reform, he was placed by his patron Lord Liverpool on the Committee on the part of Government, but he came out of that Committee a decided opponent to Govern ment. When ho introduced the measure of 1819, which went by his name, he was opposed in the House by his own father. When he carried the Catholic question, he offended his friends at Oxford, and in his last great measure they would remember how op posed he was to the spirit of his party.—(Cheers.) Another reassrkable circumstance was, that he not only read, but that he thoroughly digested every report which was laid on the table of the House, and the consequence was that he had a mastery over it which no other man ever had. He could also bring out of his well stored mind a mass of information which settled all debate.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Mem ber for Montrose was old enough to remember how violent party rancour ran when they were young. At that time persons of oppposite opinions would hardly associate together. Happily all that state of things had passed away. Sir Robert Peel, more than any other man, was the victim of private personalities, and, of all men he was the man who would fly ,to them the least. He kept the good of his country steadily in view, and whether the waves of friendship or opposition turned him to one side or the other he never lost sight of that object. It was by a course such as this that he was enabled to say— " Exegi monumentum care perennis." The Hon. Gentleman then concluded by moving that the thanks of the meeting be offered to the Lord Mayor for his conduct in the chair, and for his courtesy in offering the use of the Egyptian Hall. Mr. Alderman SALONJNS seconded the resolution. He was desirous of mingling his testimony of regard with that of the other gentlemen present, and he hoped that the Corporation would offer to the committee the oppor• tunity of erecting a monument to Sir Robert Peel in the Guildhall. They had there busts of military heroes, of the ministers of war, and he thought that the minister of peace well deserved a place there.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, and the meeting then separated. At the close of the meeting, Under-Sheriff WIRE an nounced a list of subscriptions, among whom were the Lord Mayor, 201.; Sir E. N. Buxton, 201; Sir Peter Laurie, 101.; Sir Moses Montefiore, 101; The Mer chant Taylors' Company (of which the late Sir B. Peel was a member), 2001. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Earl of FEVERSHAM presented petitions to the same effect. COUNTY COURTS BILL. Lord BROUGUANI reported this Bill after one sitting of the Select Committee, and he had great satisfaction in doing so. The Committee had sat three houre, and had fully discussed the Bill. lie had the honour of being chairman of the Committee, and the Bill had been as fully discussed as if it had been before the Committee for the three months, and he had to ten der his thanks to all the parties concerned for the facilities they had afforded The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved for a copy of the contract entered into between the Post-office and the steam-company fir the conveyance of the mails i between Greenock and Belfast. That contract had done away with the sailing of the packets between Port Patrick and Donaghadee, and it the packets had been 1. coetiaued between these ports the sailing of the packet would have been identical with that of the loss of the Orion, and all the passengers might have been saved by the packet which would then have lets Pert Patrick. i (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'elo , :k, but some minutes clappdbt•fir.? forty Members assembled. PRIVATE BILLS. The Lords' amendments to the fAlowing private Bills were considered and agreed to:— Newcmstle upon Tyne and Carlisle Railway. Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society. The Bi.-113p of London (Saint Michael's Church, Chester fquarc) Estate Bill wr.s resd a second time. LONDON (CITY) SCEIOOL FOR ORNIANS OF FREEMEN BILL. On the motion that this B:il be read a second time. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY objected to the second read ing of the Bill on the ground that it wal calculated to inflict groat injustice oa the poor in London in t:erkiett. to alienate the finds which were the subject of the Bill from the general por of the metropolis, and to devote them t) a small class of freemen in London. He meved that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. Sir J. WALMSLEY arconded the amendment. Mr. MAS f ERMAN supported the second reading of the B 11. Mr. C. PEARSON, in supporting the Bill, said this was a fuild not now a:plcatile fir the r urposes f,r which it NY:I3 intended, nruely, the setting the children of the poor of the city (.f London to work. That being I an cbjat not now necessa , y, this fund hal lain fur 'j severat 3 ears without being applied to that or any other purpo:.e. Toe corporation a London proposed that the school should be built upon their own ground, and sup port dby their own funds, and that 100 children cfl freemen should Le educated and clothed there com- I pletely. The Bill had been introduced to the House of Lords at the ir stance of the Corporation of London with the full sanction of the Bishop of Loudon, and he trusted that the Howe would not accede to the motion of the Hon. Alderman, lock up the funds with which the scheme was to be supported, and deprive the orphan children of freemen of the benefits proposed to be conferred upon them. Mr. W. PATTEN supported the Bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE hoped that the Hon. Alderman would not press his amendment. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said, that as he considered this a Bill fur the purpose of devoting the funds of the many to the advantage of a few, ho could not withdraw his amendar-nt. _ _ The House then divided, when there appeared— ... 45 For the second reading .._ .Against it .. ..• . Majority The Bill was then read a second time. WATERFORD. WEXFORD, WICKLOW, AND DUBLIN RAILWAY. Mr. MEAGHER, in the absence of Sir W. Verner, postponed his motion fora Committee of Inquiry into the printed papers and petitions until Friday next. PETITIONS. Mr. C. PEAR - 50.N presented ten petitions trom the metrovlitan districts -in favour of the Marriage Bill; also petitions against church-rates. Several petitions were presented from various places against the admission of Jews into Parliament. MERCANTILE MARINE BILL. The House then wont into Committee on this Bill. Mr. BERNAL in the chair. On clause 24. . . . . _ Mr. ANDERSON proposed an amendment, which ho contended would remove curt Ain restrictions which had weighed heavily for fourteen or fifteen years, both upon the shipowner and the seaman. lie moved to strike out clauses 24 and 25, and to insert the following :—" And be it enacted, that, from and after the Ist January, 1851, so much of the said ' General Merchant Seamen's' Act as relates to the keeping of a register of seamen, shall be and is hereby repealed." Mr. LABOUCHERE admitted that the present sys tem of registration gave rise to great abuses and imperfections, but he was not prepared, with out further consideration, to do away with the registration of seamen altogether. If registration was abandoned, the msnsgement of the Merchant Seamen's Fund would be rendered extremely difficult, and ship owners would be deprived of that beneficial cheek which they now had over the desertion of their men. No doubt great inconvenience arose from the registry being placed in the hands of the Customs, but by this Bill it was to be transferred to the B,ard of Trade, who would have the advantage of consulting men of practical experience who knew best how the defects of the present system might be avoided. Ha hoped the House would not accede to the amendment of the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. RICARDO considered that the registration of seamen was wholly unnecessary, and that it pressed very injuriously on those connected with the merchant ser vice. As the Government had admitted that the system was faulty and disadvantageous, it was the duty of Par liament to abolish it at once, and he trusted that the amendment of his Hon. Friend would receive the sanc tion of the HOUS2. Mr. BERKELEY opposed the amendment. Mr. FORS reit said registration was very mischievous in its effects, and ought not to be continued. Mr. LABOUCHERE hid been assured that the Li verpool Sailors' Hume and Shipping-office could not carry on its functions if the register were abolished. Lord GEORGE MANNERS supported the amend ment, believing that the existing system was so defective that it ought to be abolished at once. Again he must express his regret that this Bill had not been referred to the consideration of a Select Committee. Mr. DUNCAN told the Committee that they should have insisted upon this office being abolished before they voted for the repeal of the navigation laws. He should certainly vote for the amendment. Mr. MACGREGOR advocated the amendment, but not the abolition of the registration system. It was useful for statistical purposes. Mr. BROWN supported the amendment; as did also Mr. W AWN and Mr. FORBES. Mr. HASTIE opposed it, and strongly urged the Committee to pass the Bill. After a few words from Admiral BOWLES, The Committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ... 25 Against it ... 46 Majority ... —2l The amendmen - t was consequently lost. The clause as amended was then agreed to, as were also clauses 25 and 26. On clause 27 being proposed, Mr. MOFFATT moved the omission of the clause. Shipowners generally agreed that the Bill would neither very much promote or injure their interests—that it would leave matters pretty much the same a 3 they were at present ; but they considered that fresh restrictions were placed upon them by some of the clauses in regard to the clearing of vessels and the hiring of crews, which ought not to re ceive the sanction of Parliament. Mr. LABOUCHERE said the prinlipte which he proposed by the clause was that at every considerable port in the kingdom a respe,ltable person should be ap pointed by the shipowners residing there, to superin tend the making of contracts between the sailor and his employer, instead of having, as heretofore, that duty tendency among the unanimous ed t ore m perfor me d b y agents l i cense d b y th e B oar d o f Trade. Th e system had a most d emora li z i ng he p t i t n n g ser interest that his with ! the merchant seamen, and it was remedy ythe evi support l by heshtihpep clause in the Bill. The establishment of an office at each port for superintending the contracts of seamen was the most important part of the Bill, and he trusted, there fore, it would receive the support of the House. Mr. WA WN supported the amendment. * Mr. BROWN considered that these offices would save shipowners a great d ea l o f t i me and expense; andpro tect the sailors from th e imposition of "crimps, ,, and such ether persons. Mr. ANDERSON could see no good in establishing a public officer to interfere between the sailor and his em ployer. It was an intTrmedling that was most un jus!ifiable. Mr. LABOTJOIdERE observed that the interference wis by n o means nftw, while it would have the effect of rescuing ilia sailor from t'tc. , extortions of crimps. Mr. FONSTER still insisted that the proposed inte.r -f i.roncwas wholly uncillk - d for ; it was opposui by the c.% g interest at large and ought not to be per severed in. Mr. 4., STAFFORD should Tote for the amendment. The shipping interest of this country was too mush ex posed to foreign competitions to admit of their standing such an interference as this. Mr. RICARDO supported the clauses, believing that they would protect the sailor from the operation of crimps. There was no interference in the matter, ex cept where it was perfectly legitimate. Lord J. MANNERS announced his intention to vote for the amendment. There was nothing in the present state of things to call for the proposed interference. Mr. WAWN moved that the Chairman do retort progress. Mr. CARDWELL hoped at this period of the session the latter amendment would not be persevered in. Mr. WAWN objected to having a division forced upon them in that way, and as the question under discus,ion had not been fully debated he should press his motion. Ultimately, however, the Hon.. Member was induced to withdraw it, and, After a few words from Mr. ANDERSON, The Committee divided on the original amendment, when there appeared — For the amendment ... „. 9 Against it ... ... 67 Majority „ ~58 The amendment was consequently lost. The Chairman was then ordered to report progress, and the House adjourned till Five o'clock. The House resumed at Five o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Usher of the Black Rid appeared at the table, and summoned the House to the bar of the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given by commission TO several public and private Bills (for which see Lords' report). - The Speaker, accompanied iby many Hon. Members, left the House accordingly; and on his return he announced the Bills which had been assented to. SUNDAY LABOUR AT THE FOST-OFFICE. Lord MARCUS HILL, the Treasurer of her Ma jesty's Household, appeared at the bar, and stated that he had presented the address on the subject of Sunday labour at the Post-office to her Majesty, to which she had been pleased to make the follow ing most gracious reply:—" I have received your address praying me to cause an inquiry to be made whether Sunday labour in the Post-office can not be reduced without abolishing Sunday deliveries, and I have given directions that such inquiry shall be made." PETITIONS. Mr. FIUME presented a petition from certain printers and pressmen, residing in Norwich, against the penny newsparer stamp; also, one p e titi on f rom P a i s l-y an d six from Glasgow against any restriction on the increase of Leer-shops. _ _ _ Mr. LOCKE presented a petition from Lancaster against the recent regulations in the Post-office. Mr. DISRAELI presented a petition fr , na a place in Buckingham,hiro in favour of a more general assessment of the poor-rates. Mr. ELLIOT presented a petition from Hawick against the Baer Bill. Several petitions w_ re presented against the admission of Jews into Parliament.

BIZOWN asked the President of the Board of Trade, whe',her the Government proposed to introduce en) , other Bill for tie better auditing of Railway Ac counts. Mr. LABOUCIIERE said all he could promise at present was, that the suljeet should continue to engage the aVentieu of the Government, and ho would ve-y much rejoice if ho should be unibled in the course of next session to introduce some measure with reference to the auditing of rsilwey accounts. Mr. BROWN gave notice, in consequence of the reply of the R;ght II ,n. Barone', that he would bring before the House, on an early day next session, the proceedings of the Government with reference to rail way affair, generally. Mr. LOCKE gave notice of a motion en the same subj et. THE ZOLLVEREIN. Mr. STANFORD ask. d the Secret try for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government has received from the resident British Ministers sti,lie several Courts of Austria, Prvssia, and the other German Stites, any documents and despatches on the subject of he contemplated re-construction of the " Zoll• Verein," or German Customs Union; whether such dispatches conveyed any opinion how far such re-construction of the " Zollverein" would affect the commercial relations at present existing between Great Britain and the several German states; and whether there was any objection to lay such dispatches and documents (if en%) on the table of the House. Lord PALMERSTON said a great deal of correspon dsnce had taken place with her Majesty's Ministers in different parts of Germany on the subject to which the question of the Honourable Gentleman referred. The matter was not a reconstruction, but a revision of the Z 'therein, but it was at present in that state which rendered it impossible for him to lay before the House any papers which weuld give any satisfactory result. The mater was only beginning to be discussed in Germany; and he ap prehended that the only way in which the commercial relations of this country could be effected would be in increasing the duties now levied on articles of British produce or manufacture. He was, however, at present not able to say how far that was likely to he the case; but her Majesty's Ministers abroad would be in structed to endeavour to persuade the Government in question not to a 'opt any increase of duties. OCCUPATION OF ROME BY THE FRENCH. Mr. B. COCHRANE wished to know whether the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) had made any commu nication to the French Government with respect to thcir continued occupation of Rome?

Mr. PAGE WOOD, at the request of the Committee on Public Salaries, wished to ask the Noble Lord at the bead of tho Government whether he could assure the House that every appointment made or to be made by the present Lord Chancellor would be subject to the approval of Parliament; and, secondly, whether the Government intended during the present session to introduce any Bill for the purpose of paying the officers of the Court of Chancery by salaries instead of fees. Lord J. RUSSELL said that any appointment made by the present Lord Chancellor would be subject to the supervision of Parliament. With respect to the second question he could not say whether in the present se, 31 „ t h e Government would be able to introduce any measure on the subject. Mr. HENLEY Wished to know whether the same ar rangement had . been made wi t h respect to the present Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, as had been made with the present Lord Chancellor when he held that office? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he had made no arrangement with the present Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, c moidering that as an inquiry was going on the remuneration of that great officer would bo sub ject to the approval of Parliament Mr. HUME wished to know whether the retiring pension of the present Lord Chancellor was to be 5,000/. a year? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the present Lord Chancellor hal taken office subject to any regulation that Parliament might make. After some further questions-- ATTORNEYS CERTIFICATE BILL. Lord R. GROSVENOR moved the second rending of this Bill. Air. BASS seconded the motion.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCILIT.—York, July 12. CROWN COUR r.— (Be fore Mr. Justice CRESWELL.) William Miley and Daniel Ensor were indicted, under the 6th section of the 9th and 10th Victoria, c. 25, with having, on the 31st of March last, at the bo rough of Sheffield, feloniously and maliciously thrown llb. weight of gunpowder and other explosive substance, enclosed in a tin bottle, against the dwelling-house of Mr. William Butcher, with intent to injure his house or his property, and to maim, disable, or do him other bodily harm. Mr. Bliss, Q.C., and Mr. Overend appeared on be half of the prosecution; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins for the prisoner Balky, and Mr. Dearsley for the prisoner Ensor. It - appeared that the prosecutor was a merchant and manufacturer in the Sheffield trade, and in Decemb er last his grinders a ll suddenly left his employment, in consequence of which he had them summoned before a magistrete f,r leaving his employment without notic e , and several of them were punished. The prisoners were grinders, and on the night of the 31st of March last Mr. Butcher, who lives at a place called Five Osks, on the Glossop-road, near Sheffield, was awoke about two o'clock in the morning by something thrown aga i n st his bedroom window which struck viokntly against the window-sash and broke one of the pane s o f ol,ss. He instantly got out of bed, and against his house . he saw reared a ladder, down which a Man appeared to be descPnding, and on the leads below his wind ow he sew a tin canister with a fusee burning a.ttached to it. In a short time there was a loud explo . mon like a cannon. Mrs. Butcher rang t h e ala r m bill ; a,watchman and a policeman in the ntighbonehood wrre a '," tc rd, and .w four men running toz•ards them d omi. a vine from M-. Becher's house. T,Io police man followed these men, and after considerable resist ance succeeded in capturing the prisoner Bailey; the other prisoner was afterwards_taken into custody. One of them afterwards made a statement to the police to the effect that Mr. Butcher knew the men • that they were grinders, and wanted to frighten him. It also appeared that the two prisoners had been drinking with others all the day previously to the commission of this outrage. A tin canister, capable of holding about a pound weight of gunpowder, was produced, the soldered top of which had been blown off, and also a fusee and some matches, which were found outside the prosecutor's house. The Learaed Counsel for the prisoners then severally addressed the jury, contending that this was a foolish and drunken freak by the prisoners or others to attempt merely to frighten the prosecutor, and that the appear ance of the tin can showed that it had contained but a very small portion of gunpowder, sufficient only fur such a purpose, and that if the prisoners or others had intended to do damage to the prosecutor's bowie, they might have effectually done that by throwing the tin canister in the conservatory adjoining the prosecu tor's house. The JUDGE having summed up, The jury found both the prisoners Guilty. Sent:nee . was deferred. Auguste Maurits and Charles A:breeht, two Swiss, were indicted for having stolen, on the 18th cf March last, a gold watch and about 35/. in money, the property f John Gray Scott. There was another charge against the two prisoners for having committed a larceny at Leeds, on the 20th of Much. Mr. Ellis appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins defended the prisoner Albrecht, and Mr. Ma thews the prisoner Mauritz. At the opening of the case the prisoner Mauritz, by the advice of his ceunsel, pleaded guilty. It appeared Oat the prosecutor, a commercial travel ler from Manchester, slept on the Pith of March last at the Angel Hetel in Sheffield. He did not fasten his bed raorn doer, and on going to bed placed his gold watch on the dressing-table. In his coat pocket on a chair was his purse, containing 35/. in notes, gold, and silver, the property of his employers. Oa getting up next morn ing his watch and money were gone. Inquiries were made, and the two prisoners were followed to Leeds, and afterwards apprehended at Rugby station. In the carpet bag of Albrecht was found the gold watch of the prose cutor, and on his person an Irish fivepenny bit which the prosecutor had lost. For the definca of Albrecht, the Learned Sergeant stated that the prisoner was a respectable merchant at Berne, in Switzerland, and had come over t) this country to make purchases of English goods,] he not being able to specie English. Oa the morning after the robbery ha was going from Barnsley to Leeds, and met the other prisoner by acci dent in the railway carriage. Delighted to meet with a person who could speak his language, he accompanied him to Leeds, where the two went into a coffee-house in Leeds, and the prisoner Mauritz asked him to place a small package in his bag as his own was full. This package it vv2s which contained the stolen perperty and also some silver spoons which had been stolen at Leeds. At Riasby. the prisoner Albrecht paid for some refresh• Inent far Mauritz, who was in the station, and Maarias repaid him, giving him as part payment' the fivepenny ' bit which bad been stolen I rom the prosecutor. The Fisaner Mauritz, who had pleaded guilty, was sworn, and gave evidence of these facts; and it was also , rovd that the prisoner occupied a respectable position at Berne. Mr. ELLIS having replied, His LOIDSIIIP Rummel up; and The jury (which, at the request of the prisoners, was de mc(iielate lingua) found the prisoner Albrecht Not Mr. Hunter, who prosecuted in the other case, off,,red no evidence, and an acquittal was taken upon it. Sintk-nce was not passed on the prisoner Mauritz. July 13. _ _ The cause list contains an entry of 43 causes for the West Riding, of which eight are marked for special jujus ; and :ix from the North and East Riding, of which two a - e nuked for special jiirki. So few raises were prubahiy never before known ; many of them ar.‘, however, said to be heavy, and if tried will occupy the usual CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGI3TMAN.) WGREGOR V. BLUCEY. This was al action on the case for :einetion. Mr. Atherton appeared for the plaintiff. The action was uncle'ended. It appeared that the plaintiff was an overlooker in a manufactory at Leeds, a❑d the defendant is a married msn, at whose house the plaintiff's daughter was in the habit of visiting. On one oco•{sion, in the absence of the defendant's wi e, the plaintiff's daughter went to the d for:dines house, when an impropr intercourse t) , ,k place, which was afterwards remewed, the plain tiff's daughter sleeping with the defendant ; the con sequence of which was she gave birth to an illegiti mate child. The jury fund a verdict for the plaintiff—Ds mges 201. The (Idler causes tried in ti.e course of the day were devoid of interest. CROWN COURT.—(Bef are Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) Enoch Price arid Heqry Batty, two youths, were in dicted for highway robbery, on the 4th of last June, on an old lady, named Ann Lister, at Arksey, near Doncaser. Mr. Hall and Mr. Boothby prosecuted, and Mr. Ser gecut Wilkins chfendod the prisoner Price. It appears that the prosecutrix, who resides at Bently, in the neighbourhood of Doncaster, was, on the evening of the 4:h of June, on he: way home, having with her a Lag or reticule, when she was met by three men dis guised in their die - 39, and one of them, the prisoner Nt ice, having his face muffled up, who presented a braco of pocket-pistols at her, and threatene I to shoot her if she did not give up her rt ticule. This she did do under this threat. The reticule contained some groceries. An accomplice named Fogg, in whose possession the reticule was found, stated that he and the two prisoners turned their coats on the night in question, and, lying down i❑ the road, pretended to be drunk, and then robbed the prosecutrix as she had stated. Tho prisoner Price was identified by the prosecutrix. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS having addressed the jury, His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury Lund the prisoners both Guilty. Sentence was clt ferred. Charles Sutcliffe was indicted, on his own confession, with a highway robbery on William Hanson on the night of Monday, the 24th of July, near Bradford. Mr. Bower prosecuted; the prisoner was undefended. It appeared that on the night in question, the prose cutor was robbed by seven men, five of whom were tried at the winter gaol delivery of 1848, and transported. On the 2d of May last the prisoner went to the office of Messrs. Tolson, Clough, and Taylor, solicitors, Bradford, and there made a voluntary confession that he was one of the men who had robbed Hanson. That confession was afterwards reduced into writing and he signed it. Ile was afterwards taken before the magistrates, when he repeated Vie same statement, and was committel for trill. In that confession the prisoner stated that three of the men transported for the robbery, Lightowler, Clifford, and Hall, were innocent, and that he himself was one of the men who committed it. The prosecutor was called and gave evidence of the robbery, but stated that he was positive the prisoner was not one of the men who robbed him. When called on for his defence, the prisoner said that the brother of Clifford had got hold of him and kept him a month at his house until be bad committed to memory Vie story he had told to the magistrates; that ho gave him 31. to go and tell it, and promised him 1001., as it might get his brother pardoned, and that be (the prisoner) knew nothing whatever about the robbery. The Learned JUDGE having left the facts to the jury, The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt, who was stated to be a lady of property, was charged on a summons, which had been obtained against her by Mr. Henry Thomas, secretary to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with gross cruelty to a dog, the property of Mrs. Scott, whose residence is in St. John's-wood. A solicitor attended for the defendant, who occupies apartments in Mrs. Scott's house. Mary Skelly, deposed that she waa working for com plainant on the 29. h ult., at her house, as a charwoman, and that about two o'clock in the afternoon, afier some high words had taken place between the parties (the nature of which quarrel witness was not acquainted with), she saw Mrs. Hunt take up Mrs. Scott's little dog and use it most cruelly. Mr. YARDLEY—ExpIain to me particularly what you mean. Witness—Sh• seized hold of the poor little creature, and throwing it down stairs, dashed it against the wall, in consequence of which one of its legs was broken. Mr. YARDLEY—She was, of course, made acquainted with the injury she had done? Complainant—She was, sir; but did not express the least regret. She kicked my cat also, and is the last person in the world, in my opinion, to be sorry for any act of cruelty which she might commit. The witnesses were cross-examined by the solicitor, but their testimony was by no means shaken. The answer to the charge was, that the defendant merely put the dog out of her room, and that if the leg were broken it must have been caused by the animal falling down stairs. Mr. YARDLEY inflicted a fine of 51. on the defendant, and in default of payment to be imprisoned one month. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. NOTICES OF CERTIFICATES. In the Country. G.

The grounds of the Duke of Devon shire, at Chiswick, were thrown open to the visitors on the occasion by the kindness of his Grace. The gardens of the society were in the best possible order, and the whole of the arrangements were in the best taste. The sho 4 , of fruit was good, the specimens exhibited being of the first class; the show of flowers was aho good, some of the single specimens of rare plants being very fine. An improvement was obvious in the general ap pearance of the grounds, and the large marquees, erected by Mr. B. Edgington, of the Borough, were more than usually spacious, the shade afforded being extrenr.ly de sirable, and the ventilation complete. Praise is due to the honorary secretary, Dr. Daniels, for the good taste displayed, and to the scientific superintendence of Dr. Lindley. The grounds of the Duke of Devonshire were in splendid order, and had the appearance of a fairy land. The number of visitors was very great, although the re cent deaths of the Duke of Cambridge and Sir R. Peel kept many fashionaWes away. There were present the Duke of Devonshire, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marquis of Normanby, Lord Bradford, L )rd Sondes, Lord and Lady J. Russell, &c , the American Miniver, the Nepalese Envoy, &c., :tad other persons of distinc tion. The bands of the Ist Life Guards, of the Cold stream Guards, a3d of the Horse Guards (t3!ue), were not in uniform, but wore mourning, in respect for the late Duke of Cambridge. CLASS I.
