Every additional particular received from Jutland relative to the battle of Idstedt confirms the ac curacy of the first intelligence. The victory proves to have been altogether on the side of the Danes—the Schleswig-Holstein army having been for the time completely routed, and compelled to retreat in extra ordinary confusion. Of course the partisans of the invading coalition are endeavouring to put the best face possible upon the transaction. To this end they are striving to divert attention from the enormous losses experienced by the German forces during the recent engagement, by speaking confidently as to the speedy turn. of for tune between the belligerents. They maintain, for example, that the Schleswig-Holsteiners have still an arm y of 25,000 good troops concentrated at Wittensen; and that besides this, no less than 16,000 more are under Vox taut TAN N , in Angela. Making allowances, however, for the exaggeration necessary to cover the extent of late disasters, the estimate thus formed is altogether too extravagant for credibility. Vox DER TANN, it will be remembered, was himself in the con flict which took place on the 25th instant at Idstedt. Indeed, it is reported that, together with GERHARD and WILLISEN, he received a wound or two during the course of that battle. However that may be, it is certain that he and the men under his command were involved in the discom fiture recently encountered by the Commander-in- Chief of the Schleswig-Holstein armament. Con sequently his 16,000 soldiers (supposing as many to be still actually under his orders) must be depressed by the recollection of that great defeat which by this time has carried dismay into the Ministerial Chambers at Berlin, and to the Royal Cabinet at Potsdam. Little need, therefore, be said in reference to the succour likely to be received by the German cause from these 16,000 soldiers at Angela. As to the mail) army of 25,000 " good troops," so termed, said to be concen trated at Wittensen, scarcely larger credence can be accorded to the statement of their whereabouts, or even of their existence. Krovving the doubts enter tained to this moment as to the isaiitive locality at present occupied as the head quarters of the Schles wlg-liolsteiners, we may well be careful in accepting I .' as veracious the assertion that as many as ')5,000 THE SUN, men, and these, moreover, " good troops,"are actually collected together at Wittensen. What appears to be wholly undeniable, however, in reference to the Schleswig-Holstein army, is the fact that those portions cf it engaged at Idstedt (constituting almost the entire of the German forces dispatched against Denmark by the Coalition) evinced on that occasion the most stubborn and resolute bravery. This circumstance, nevertheless, while it removes all disgrace from the fact of their discom fiture, enhances in a very considerable degree the glory acquired by the Danes in that achievement. When it is considered that courage of the most bril liant character was displayed by the forces opposed to those under the command of General KROGH, the importance of the triumph secured by his generalship to the banners of Denmark becomes materially in creased and exalted in our estimation. The victory of the Danish captain, then, appears before us in its true light, not as an accidental success obtained over an inferior body of opponents, but as a heroic conquest over the most formidable obstacles—a conquest proving his own capacities as a commander, and the strength of that patriotic devo tion which seems likely to be more effectual than foreign interposition in maintaining the rights of the Danish sovereignty. A vigorous employment of the advantages already secured to the Danes by the battle of Idstedt must perceptibly tend to accelerate the settlement of existing differences. - Prussia would of course, without ques tion, exult in an opportunity of so far prolonging the war as to enable her soldiers in some measure to reduce their recent losses ; yet, considering the steps already taken by the mediating Governments, we cannot but feel satisfied that every effort will be made in order to bring the conflict to a conclusion as speedily as possible. Especially are we disposed to think thus when the sanguinary nature of the late engagement is borne in recollection. Even the darkest estimate given in the first intelligence appears to have been scarcely exaggerated in any particular, the number of killed and wounded being from 3,000 to 4,000. After a victory of this decisive character, it were strange indeed if the Danes relaxed in their efforts to insist upon the claims of their Government ; equally strange if the Schleswig-Holsteiners pre served the same confidence in their energies ; and most strange of all if the rest of the powers of Christendom, or some of them at least, did not make some endeavours to prevent the recurrence of similar carnage. From all these considerations we are disposed to look more hopefully to the speedy and satisfactory settlement of the Schleswig-Holstein question—a- question hitherto of almost intermi nable difficulty. Gladly shall we recognize the day wht-n this protracted quarrel is brought to a con elwicn, the opposite demands of the belligerents being reconciled not by bloodshed but diplomacy. There is a scene in The Critic in which all the par ties on the stege are involved in what Mr. PUFF accu rately termed a "dead lock." Each person, althou2ll fully armed, with dagger impending over his enemy's bosom, is afraid to strike, lest the slightest move ment on his part might produce a fatal blow from his antagonist. None can conceive how the diffi culty can be evaded, or what is to be the next step in the drama. Such is the position in which the House of Commons is now placed, through its own ab surdly conflicting decisions, and the inconsistent and vacillating conduct of the First Lard of the Trea sury. Lord JOHN RUSSELL first declares that the subject " alone ought to be treated as a strictly judi cial question," and in the very same speech he pro nounces his opinion on a point which at that time was coram non judice—which had not been argued, which was not even under discussion at the time. The question before the House was, whether Baron ROTHSCHILD should be sworn on the Old Testament, that being the form which he declared to be roost binding on his conscience, and the Premier takes the opportunity of declaring his opinion on a portion of the oath itself, declaring " that it is not in the power of the House to dispense with the words ' on the true faith of a Christian,' and that whenever the question came to be debated, he should feel it his duty to vote against the omission of these words from the oath." This was certainly not according to the usual or ordinary practice of the occupants of the bench of justice—we doubt if any one of " the great unpaid" would venture to pronounce his judgment in anticipation, before hearing the defence, or before the question had even been opened on either side. We have heard of but one precedent for such a course, and we might almost have fancied that the venu e was changed from St. Stephen's to a place not to be mentioned to ears polite. " Gnosius hcec Rhodamanthus hebet durissinia regna Cas;igatque auditgue dolos, subigiegue fiteri." There the Noble Lord presides, with despotic au thority judging according to the letter, and not to the spirit of the law, first pronouncing his decision and then hearing arguments. It is indeed difficult to conceive on what ground the Noble Lord could have been induced to adopt a proceeding in every respect so extraordinary, and so contrary to his usual practice. It can only be accounted for in one way, viz., that the Minis try in general, and himself more especially, not only as its head, but as one of the Representatives of the city of London, would ensure serious obloquy if, after keeping the matter in suspense during three Parliamentary sessions, the difficulty should be ca pable of a solution so very simple and obvious. It was, therefore, to be resisted by every means, per fas aut nefas, to be made a Cabinet question ; and it was necessary that a pretty decisive intimation should be given to the "Ministerial hangers•on" and the "waiters on Providence," to show in what manner their votes are to be given, and to guard against their committing themselves in any manner. Let us now see into what a tissue of inconsisten cies and absurdities the Howe has fallen under the guidance of the Noble Lord. First, it was decided that Baron RoTuscniLD was entitled to be sworn on the Old Testament, that being the form which he de clared to be moat binding on his conscience. The practical effect of this resolution was that the sub stance and not the form of the oath was the only matter of importance. But when every single portion of the promissory part of the oath had been taken, when the Honourable Baron merely emitted the last words, " on the true faith of a Christian," which are clearly but a portion of " the jurat," " the sanc tion," or " confirmation" of the oath, and which the fact of the rejection of the New Testament by the Hon. Gentleman distinctly proved, would necessarily be rejected as not " binding on the conscience," he was again ordered to withdraw, these words being considered essential, and part of the " substance." the Muse thus expecting that a person swearing on the Old Testament should do so " on the true faith of a Christian." Again, the seat for the city of London must either be full or vacant, and if the latter, the citizens - are most assuredly entitled to claim the immediate issue of a writ for the election of a representative. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Abingdon accordingly moved that a new writ should be issued. This was met by an amend ment, proposed by the Hon. Member for the city of Oxford, " that the seat of Baron LIONEL DE Rorns- CHILD, as one of the Members for the city of London, is full?' One or the other of these should clearly be carried. "If the seat was not full," there was a va cancy in the representation, and the writ should be issued. But both were rejected, the amendment by a majority of 104, there being 221 to 117 against it ; while the original motion was —not vvithdown—but a majority so d ec i s i ve t h at no division n w e a g s L t t a i v k e e d by taken. . How, then, is the HousA to be extricated from this " pretty considerable fix" in which it is involved? Through whose agency is the desideratum to be at tained ? The Attorney-General is the Deus ex ma- Mind, who is to solve every difficulty by some bril liant move, the nature of which is to be explained to-morrow, but which is not to be discussed until Monday—or rather, to carry out the original parallel, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman is to enact the part of " Beefeater," and, "in the name of the QUEEN, to command them all to drop a:ea. swords and daggers." Although we anticipate some tolerably simple contrivance, we confess to no ordinary anxiety to learn the course about to be adopted. We fear that it will afford anew illustration of the " par turient mountain," that the forthcoming offsp/ing may not be worthy of the intense expectation which it has excited. We must, however, bridle our cu riosity, and patiently,_ await the promised explanatiop,' LONDON, which will at least achieve one great object, that it will procrastinate and delay the proceedings, so that the supplies may be all voted, and Parliament pro rogued, before a new election for the city of London, when the triumphant return of Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD for the third time would afford a grand moral demonstration which would not be slighted or despised. Perhaps the rather significant hint of the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman the Member for Mid dlesex had no trifling effect in producing this further postponement. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assembly on Monday disposed of all the arti• cies of the budget of expenses, and voted the budget as a whole by a majority of 243, the numbers being Ayes, 398; Noes, 155. The Moniteur du Soir publishes the following sn nouneement " The sub-committee appointed by the committee on the budget has made its report on the subject of con ceding the working of the Paris and Lyons Railway to a company. The report recommends the concession on the following conditions: Ninety-nine years' lease; guarantee of 4 per cent, for 60 years on the capital ex pended; the capital fixed at a maximum of 190 millions; division of the profits with the state over and above 8 per cent.; reimbursement to the state of 65 millions, fif teen in cash and fifty in annuities, with interest. The sb.ive only relates to the line from Paris to Lyons. The state to commence immediately the works on the Lyons to Avignon Railway. The Minister will demand a credit of 18 millions on the estimates of the year 1850, and a simi lar credit on the succeeding one, for the works of that important portion which will join the Ocean to the Mediterraneln. M. Vitet has been named reporter, and will at the next sitting communicate to the Assem bly the resAution of the Committee, which is favourable to the adoption of the Government Bill. The Assembly will then decide as to the urgency of the measure, and whether it will or will not be discussed before the propagation." It is announced that General L AMOR,ICIERE will be one of the candidates for the Presidency in 1852. The Minister of the Interior laid on the table of the Assembly yesterday a Bill for regulating the National Guards. lle did not explain the details of his measure. The Government has received the following dis patch from the French Minister, dated Athens, 18th instant "Monsieur le Ministre,—l have the honour to int form you that •the convention agreed upon between the Cabinets of Paris and of London, and destined to put nn end to the differences between Greece and Great Briatain, has just been signed in my presence by the Minister of her Britannic Majesty and the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs of iiing Ono, Immediately after the signature M. Londos declared to Mr. Wyse that he was authorised to say that his Hellenic Majesty would ratify. the convention. I will send you by the ❑eat courier a copy, signed and ratified, of the conven tion in question. (Signed) " THOUVENEL." We find the following in the Siecle, on the subject of the differences which are said to have existed be tween the Minister of ' War .and General CEIAN GARNIER:—" The general subject of conversation in the lobbies, and on the benches of the majority= is a very remarkable report, which has, it is said, been drawn up by General PP.EVAL and presented to the PRESIDENT of the Repuolic, at the request of the latter. M. Louis NAPOLI•MN BONAPARTE, tired, it is said, of the intermicable differences and perpetu.il conflicts which arise between General CLIANGARZCIER and the Minister of War, reTtesteil General PREVAL to submit a report to him in which the respec positions of the Minister of War and of the Commandant of the Army of Paris should be clearly defined according to the laws and regulations of the army, as well as to mi litary traditions. The report of General PREYAL is said to be a complete treatise on the matter, deve lo,sed with all the authority of tcience and of long experience. The conclusions, if we may credit the reports, which have reached us, are not at all favourable to the exorbitant pretensions of General CUANGAR mEn, and the PRESIDENT is said to have been touched at the arguments on which the experienced author of the report has founded his opinion. We wuuld not dare to affirm that the communication of thiS important document will cause any modification whatever in the hierachic relations of the Minister of War , and. General CRANGARNIER, but it would be to he regretted it this important wurk of General PEEVAL were to remain shut up in the cartons and not to be made use of to enlighten public opinion on such a delicate and complicated point. " The Legitimatists are very active in their endea vours to procure the restoration of HENRI V., and do not scruple openly to avow their intentions. A letter from Toulon, of the 25th, says :—" The day before yesterday the Grondeur steamer arrived from Civita Vecchia with dispatches from the com manding officer of the French ships in that port fJr the Maritime Prefect. The squadron has, as you know, quitted Naples, and the most conflictieg sur mises are afloat on the subject. Some persons send it into the Tagus, others to Tunis, and what gives some air of probability to the latter supposition is, the departure of the Chimire for Tunis, with a large quantity of provisions and stores. The most generally received opinion is that the French fleet has put to sea to exercise the crews, half of whom are composed of newly-raised levies, and that when the exercises are over it will return to Toulon to revictual, unless any unforeseen incident should im periously call for its presence elsewhere.

The following letter from the Earl of WESTMORE LAND, the British Ambassador at the Court of Berlin, addressed to M.

If those efforts are ineffectual, Baron Pechlin acknowledges the obligation of the King, under the treaty, to apply t) the Confederation, before having recourse to military measures to establish his authority is the duchy. It is only in case this intervention, being so demanded, be not affirded, or bo ineffectual, that the King is at liberty to employ his military forces for that purpose.

General KROGH, the Danish Commander-in-Chief, has not yet published his report of the battle of Idstedt, but it is considered that the loss on both sides exceeds 8,000 men. Of the Schleswig-Hol stein army 3,000 wounded have already been brought into hospital. The Ha m b urger N achrichtes, of July 27, contains the followingl loss on furtherle th sides particulars i s very " The great. Several officers, on a rough calculation, estimate it above 10,000 men. Four guns fell into the hands of the Danes, and four el ' the Danish field-pieces were driven into a morass, and spiked by the S c hl esw ig-Holatt-iners. One regiment of e a Danish Huss ars are said to hay suffered great loss from the grape shot of our artilkr " No official rep orts h ave as yet 3.. b eon published, but we have received the following particulars from a highly respectable source, although we do not pledge ourselves as to their accuracy on every point. " The centre of the Schleswig-Holstein army was posted as Idstedt, under the command of General Wil iisen; the right wing, under Von der Horst, extended from ViTedelspang es far as the Schlei, and the left wing under 13audisxin, until he was obliged to retire in conse oloy.ce 0t s watincf, when the command d evo l ve d upon • '•, Von der Tann, extended from Heliigbeck es fir as the Treene, near 6ollbroe, the whole army fo:ming nearly 8 semi -circle, the most prominent point bell.; the carte at 'ldstedt.. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1850. "At the commencement of the engagement the left wing was very severely pressed, but the Danes soon threw all their force on our centre, which, after a most obstinate contest, was at length compelled to retreat in the direction of Schleswig, the right wing also accompanying it, bet maintaining the same relative position to the centre at six o'clock in the evening as at tix in the morning. Alter the retreat of the centre, which defended itself with the utmost bra very, the left wing also commenced a retrograde move ment, covering the retreat. The cavalry is said to have been but little engaged, and to have lost only three men. " The following infantry officers are among the killed: —major Brunckhof ; Lieutenants Ilallerstein, Walters dorf, Hassler, and Sander. " And the following are among the wounded:—Major- General Baudissin (,slightly); Major Lutzow (slightly). Captains: Unruh, Boner, and Carrel. Lieutenants: Selinobel, llil iger, Dudding, Wiling, and Jenner. "The infantry took off their knapsacks, &e, to enable them to fight the easier, and havi saved the whole of their baggage, it will at erica be seen with what admir able order the retreat must have been conducted. "The troops evacuated Schleswig, and commences their march towards the south, singing their national songs." The Cologne Gazette says the " cause of Schles wig-Holstein is by no means desperate. An army of 25,000 good troops is concentrated at Wittensen. Vox JAR TANN is also at the bead of 16,000 men in Angell). The cannon from Eckeniorde has been transported to Rensburgh. It is feared that Kiel will be exposed to an attack by land, on the part of the Danes. The Gefion is still in the hands of the Prussians, and appears out of danger. Among the Danish prisoners is Colonel BAGGESEN. It is said that VON DER TANN, GERHARD, and even General WILLisEN are slightly wounded." The Danes are in complete possession of Schleswig, but had not crossed the Eider to invade Holstein when the last accounts left. The Homburgh Borsenhalle of ,the 28th contains the following:— . _ "As the general in command has not yet been able to send in a detailed account of the battle of the 25th, the undersigned makes known the following:-- "Our whole army (the Schleswig--Holstein army) holds a concentrated position: all reports of detach meats being cut off are false. The losses sustained will be nytde good in such manner by the reserve battalions, organised for this purpose some weeks since, that in a few days the army will be stronger than it was before the battle of Idstedt. " The courage of the army is unabated. We look confidently forvi ard to decisive events. (Signed) "Kiel, July 27." " KROHN. From this warlike proclamation it appears that hostilities will be resumed, which must eventually lead to the entrance of the Danes into Holstein. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Berlin, July 29, ssys:-- " We are assured that negotiations are on foot for a prolongation of the time allowed for the ratification of the peace of 2d July." Another telegraphic dispatch, dated Hamburgb, July 29, in the evening, al.ys " There is nothirg new from the scene of rar, if we except an unimportant skirmish of cavalry at the out pos7:s. The troops &re in excellent spirits, but tha want is felt of a sufficient number of officers." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK, _ _ The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 20,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for expert, and 5,000 Amtricana6oo Brazil, 1,000 Egyptian, and 1,000 Surat on speculatioii. T!!9 market closed firmly with American fully *d. to id., and S‘ufat id. par lb. highar, and other desmptions at full rates. The sales comprised 14,000 American, 1,200 Psrnam and Maranham, at Bid. to Sid; 200 Bahia, at SU. to Sid ; 150 Egyptian, at 8111. to 10d.; 2,000 Surat, at sd. to 63d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares an iecreaaed busiiiess was done, and prices generally were looking u p. Toe advices by th Overland are still in much the same strain as for the last month or two in reference to commercial matters. There is an excessive supply of textile goods in all the presidencies, and still the ar rivals continue. It is true that an improvement is anti cipated, but this is contingent on a favourable season fur the agriculturists, and it is doubtful whether the exhaustion of the stocks in the interior will not be immediately provided for by the accumulations in the different capital cities. Money seems easy, and Cotton, whisk had be(,n firmer, was slightly tending downwards, owing to lcss favourable news from China. The Indigo crops promised fairly, although dry weather was needed. At Calcutta, just before the mail left, the lower prices accepted for imports rather stimulated the demand, but the season will not be remunerative to the importers. In the Amsterdam market on Monday Dutch Stock was firm. The Two-and-a-Elalf per Cents. have been 57. Spanish Five per Cents. .were lower, but the 'Aral per Cents. were suppored. Portuguese Bonds were very firm, and in request. Rumour is busy as to the precise objects for which the meeting of Mexican bondholders is convened, and it would seem that almost every one thinks the unfortunate creditors are fair game for their assaults. It is said that Colonel Facie objects to sign over the money in the Bank of England for the payment of part of a dividend, until Messrs. Schneider deliver up all the books io their possession; but we should think the ostensible reason must be that the agreement is not yet ratified, by the Mexican Congress. The representative in Lon don of Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh also feels an noyed, it is reported, because of the resolution passed by the bondholders to discontinue sub-agencies in Mexico, and the non-recognition of the services which the firm is stated to have rendered fir several years. It is just pos. aible, therefore, that failing to receive the compliments, a claim may be advareed for more substantial recom pense, in the shape of commission due, an unpleasant contingency if there be no bargain with tne house that would vitiate such claim. As to M. Escandon and the cotton licences, ho may give up cr not those that he still holds, and pay the balance for such as hare been made available; but unluckily that gentleman is said to be under heavy advances to Mr. W. P. Robertson for the expenses of his mission, and being indebted also to Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh for tobacco duties, may use every exertion to liquidate his own demands. Whether he can do so legally is another question. M. Rolarte, the Court broker, about whom we have heard so much, has drawn upon Mr. W. P. Robertson his first bill for 5001., part of about 4,0001. which the letter _agreed with him should be awarded es a commis sion upon the indemnity money, for the exertions and influence of M. Rolarte. This is certainly a strange way of doing business. Not a sixpence of the indem nity money has been received, and yet is a claim made ler commission upon it, and upon the untenable ground, that if the Bondholders had at once ac cepted the convention, it would have been ra tified' by the Mexican Congress, and that its not having been carried ou t i s no f au l t o f t h e b arga i n . makers. Mr. Robertson, as we hear, has sent the bill to the committee to be honoured, but fortunately M. Roberts has, we believe, no funds in band belonging to the bondholders that he can appropriate to pay himself, otherwise ho would doubtlesss follow the example cf all the rest engaged is this miserable business. noisily, as to the mode in which M. Falconnet's expenses are to be met. It twill be necessary, it is said, that the bond holders should give some undertaking, and then the amount will be advanced by a leading firm here. The Funds are very firm again, but not brisk. Con sols have realised 961 to 97 for Transfer, and 967 to 97A for Account The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. are 99 i !. to 994. Erst India Stock has been quoted 270 to 271. The premium on Exchequer-bills is 675. to 70s. In the Foreign Market there is more life. The arrangement of the account has its effect. Mexican has touched 291 ; and 30. Peruvian Four•and-a-Half per Cents. arc steady at 83. Chilian Bonds have been at 103. Spanish Three per Cents. are 37i, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 34 to 34i. Shares are still improving. North-Western, Great Western, Miel!aud, and most of the other lines are better. QUARTER TO THREE. ... 963- 97 ... 96i 97 Consols ... .. ~, Di'Ao Account ... ...

The fire originated at the back of the oven, and soon took hold of the back of the premises and communicated with some outbuildings and the adjoining houses belonging to Mr. Davidarge and Mr. G. Harman, bnotmaker. The Dock-yard engines and the engines from Watling-street, under Mr. Henderson, were speedily on the spot, but the fire was not extinguished until considerable damage had been done. A BUFFALO HUNT IN Lorinost.---Monday morn ing, about nine o'clock, two young buffaloes were being driven from the terminus of the Groat Western Railway, at Paddington ; when in the Edgware-road some sweeps shak ing a soot-hag alarmed them, and they started at a terrific pace in the direction of Lisson-grove. Their career was so rapid that several persons, unable to get out of the way, were knocked down and seriously injured, and a Mrs. Lo .t lane, of Alpha Cottages, bad her ribs fractured, and sustained juries. All eff..rts to atop them were fruitless; they t lirout.,ll lt , gent't-park into Primrose-hill-park wit increased impetuosity, leaping fences with the greatest ease. The beasts were not secured before seven persons had been seriously injured, till ten o'clock at night. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. - - Th 3 SPEAKER took the Chair in the new chamber at TV?f,`IWO o'clock. Since the House last assembled - here a temporary timber roof has been erected with the view of still for. ther trying the accoustie capabilities of the building. Of course it is in a rough, unfinished state, and since it renders useless, by shutting out, at least two-thirds of the windows, the House presents a sombre and dingy aspect ; still it facilitates hearing, and red;:tces the accompanying reverberation which previously existed, and no doubt when the roof is brought permanently lower and glazed with plate glass, similar to that of the old House, it will render the chamber more adapted to its purpose, if it does not im prove its appearance. PRIVATE BUSINESS. _ The Lords' amendments to the Peterborough Im provement, Police, and Cemetery, &c., Bdi, were a2,-rccd to. The following Bills were read a second time:— Dulie of Buckingham's Estate. Tufton's Estate. Viscount Middleton's Estate. PETITIONS. Mr. S. CRAWFORD prevented a petition from a place in the county of Tipperary in favour of some al teration of the law with regard to tenant right. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a petition in favour of the equalisation of the land-tax. Mr. FIfZROY presented a petition from Lewes, praying that Jews might be admitted into Parliament. Sir DE LACY EVANS presented a petition com plaining of the inequality of the land-tax, and praying for some redress. . _ _ Mr. CARDWELL presented a petition from share holders in the Midland Railway Company, at Liverpool, complaining of certain financial arrangements of that company. • Lord R. GROSVENOR presented a petition from Clerkenwell complaining of certain noxious trades which were carried on in that neighbourhood. Mr. REYNOLDS presented a petition from a place in the county of Wexford against certain clauses in the Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill. CRIME AND OUTRAGES (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice that ho would move the insertion of a clause in this Bill when it came before the House. SUNDAY TRADING PREVENTION BILL. On the motion for going into CommiWe on this Bill, Mr. ANSTEY moved as an amendment that the House resolve itself into Committee on the Bill this day three months. He observed that whatever amendments might be made in it consistent with the title it would not carry out the obj ct of those who promoted it in another place, and who professed, he would not say intended, to secure a bet ter observance of the Lord's-day. Even supposing that the evidence given before the Committee which had sat on the subject showed that it was desirable that a better observance of the Sabbath should be obtained in the me tropolis, to the exclusion of all other parts of her Ma jesty's dominions, the Bill was wholly inadequate for the purpose. Were the instances of Sunday trailing which had been seen in the metropolis by the Hon. Member who introduced the Bill such as to constitute a nuisance? If so, why did he not name those instances? He (Mr. Anstey) contended there bad been too much legislation on this subject, and that this Bill was a mass of undigested nonsense. He called upon the promoters of this Bill, whom he might term its godfathers, to prove the preamble before the House proceeded one step further. What was Sunday trading? Did it consist in selling apples or oranges on a kerb stone? No. It he iran with the raincrable apple-woman and pot house, and went through all the intervening classes of society up to the Reform or Brookes' Ciub. Under this Bill luxuries were to be sold on the Sunday, because the poor could not buy them and the rich could. Any Hon. Member might buy Punch on a Sunday, provided it was stamped, but if he were to buy an unstamped copy far threepence he would be deemed a great sinner. —(A laugh.) This was a Bishops' Bill; it had been framed by them, and they had taken care to provide for their own convenience, by exempting milk and cream from the provisions of this Bill. He doubted very much whether the premoters of the 13111 were sincere in what they were doing, and in order to test that he intended to introduce an amendment to put down the driving of carriages on a Sunday, espe cially the carriages of those who were entitled to wear arms. He also intended to move an amendment that ser vants should not work on a Sunday. He believed that a Bill more disgusting, or one that would stink more in the nostrils of the people, had never been introduced into that House. It provisions were mon strous, and such that, if it passed, would be resented by the people.—([lsar, hear.) It could do no good, but would cause great harm ; and he would venture to say that it had only been introduced to pamper the ap petites of a set of hypocrites.—(Hear, hear.) He con abided by m wing that the 811 on committed this day three months. Sir G. GREY deprecated any discussion on the prin ciple of the Bill, which was decided last Wednesday, and complained that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who had j ast sat down had wasted an hour and a half of the time of the House. He was quite aware of the difficul ties of passing a Bill of 'this nature that would be satis factory to all parties, but still he thought such a Bill was calculated to accomplish great practical good, and he hoped it would be passed in some shape or other. Mr. ANS FEY explained. Colonel THOMPSON corrected an error which he mid prevailed amongst his Mends that he supported this Bill because he thought it would lead to reaction. Ho did not think anything of the tort. He looked upon it as a peace offering of a pernicious character, and he hoped ail parties would join in endeavours so to amend the Bill as to make it acceptable to all partio. — (Hear.) Mr. HUME objected to the Bill on princ4) l e. The parties who proposed it thought they could make 1 ,9091 e religious by Act of Parliament. Now, his experienct convinced him that it was quite impossible to do so. Such attemps always produced contrary results, and he regretted that Government had taken up the measure fur the purpose of having it effectually disposed of. Govern ment was neglecting its duties upon all qtfestions affecting the interests of the people. Lock, for instance, at the Post-office. Government declined to step forward to stop the insane movement of a petty majority, but perhaps that was the fault of the Members themselves. Really, however, Government ought to be blamed for all this, for if they would stand forth and manfully oppose all measures calculated to reduce the civil and religious liberties of the people, they would find themselves backed by large majorities!. This was a measure directed against the people. It was of a coercive character, and as he thought the days for inflicting penalties upon opinions bad gone by, he should support the amendment.—(Cheers.) ' Mr. TRELAWNY thought this Bill, like the Post office measure, would lead to the desecration rath er th an secure the observance cf the Sabbath, and he should oppose it to the last. Domestic servants were a very oppressed class, and the true object of this Bill was to enable the middle class tradesmen to oppress the poor man, as the aristocrat did his domestic. It was very desirable that one day should be set apart for rest, but that must be done through the common sense of the people, and not by Act of Parliament. _ Mr. R. SPOOgEII said the real object of the Bill was to prevent unnecessary trading on the Sabbath, to prevent undue competition amongst small traders, who were as anxious that this Bi!1 should pass as the veriest SAbhatarini either in or out of the House. He was at a loss to know what the Post-office measure bad to do with the question, except it was im ported into it to show how disgracefully the House behaved itself when a measure was backed by the prayers of the people. Not withstanding that the great mass of the people approved of the change in the Post-office, the House had attempted to overthrow it before it had a fair trial, and now it was proposed to reject this Bill in the face of the largo number of petitions which the metropelis had presented in its favour. o MARKET NEWS.—( TH IS DAY.) ; --E--- CORN EXCHANG. tL—WEDNESDA.
