SUGAR.—To-day the rates obtained for West India Sugar were in almost every instance equal to those of Friday, but refiners or grocers were little disposed to do business. The purchases extend to only 312 hhds, including at auction 150 hhds 13 trcs Barbadoes, which went at full terms for good and fine, but at 64 per cwt decline for other sorts; low yellow sold at 36s 6d, middling 37s to 38s 6d, good 39s to 40s, fine and supe rior 4I s 6d to 435. REFINED.—To-day reEted goods were operated in with caution for home trade purposes, still brown gro cery lumps were not to be obtained under 493 per cwt. Crushed is in better request for expartation, and prices are firm; sales of British made at 23s to 293 he: cwt. Marinmus.—Thi4 afternoon Mauritius met with little attention, and former rates were barely supported. At a public sale of 3,672 bags, good and fine brown went at 33s to 345. low to good yellow 34s 6d to 375, and good grainy yellow 40a to 40s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 3,494 bags— the better sorts of white Benares sold at firm rates; fine and good realised 39s to 42s 6d but of othe,r kinds a small portion orly found buyers at barely former terms—low and middling white at 37s to 38s 6d, damp 36s to 41s 63, good and fine soft yellow 35s to 375. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of foreign Sugar, and the private purchases were of little moment, still former rates are supported, and holders have con fidence. MoLAssEs.—There are sellers of West India upon rather lower terms, still operations have been small, add do not exceed 200 puns of new Antigua at 16s to 16i 63 per cwt. The stock remains large, and deliveries fill short of last year. The value of East India and Mau ritius is 12s to 13s, at the same time, however, few buyers are to be met with. CocoA.—The market is firm for West India, and sup plies are small, but dealers are not much disposed to operate. At suotior: 813 bags of Grenada were sold at 38s to 41a per cwt. Foreign met with little attention, at the same time full terms are insisted on; and at auction 200 bags were taken in at 28s to 28s 6d per cwt for Para and Guaysquilt. The stock of Cocoa is not so large as of late, and deliveries are extending. COME.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon Coffee was in good request, and former rates were well sup ported. At auction 244 casks and 65 bags all sold; middling realised 54s to 565, low middling 52s to 539 6d, fine and fine ordinary 47s to 51s, good ordinary 463 6d, triage 43s to 45s per cwt. There were several inquiries atter Native, but business is checked by the reluctance of holders to sell, and good ordinary cannot be obtained under 43s 6d. TEA.—Only moderate purchases have been made in good and fine Congou, still holders are firm, and require fully former rates; there is also a less amount on offer, with every prospect of a brisker trade existing shortly. The value is is Id to Is 8d per lb, and at which there are not free sellers. For common and good ordinary Congou the home trade demand is still brisk, and prices have further advanced id per lb, sales having been made at lOid to Ild. In Medium kinds operations are upon a more extended scale, at llid to is O'd; and these are better prices, whilst on the part of holders there is much firm ness. In Green considerable purchases have been made, and the rates paid are Id to 2d above those current pre viously, but the low and mid sorts have been most in request. Several parcels of tea have been taken on Liverpool account. Scented and Pekoe teas find a more ready sale at fully the former value. At auction 8200 pkgs were offsred, and 4100 sold, 900 of which ccn siated of Assam, and went with spirit. RICE.—To-day there was a fair demand for Rice, but holders are compelled to accept former rates. At auction 3,367 bags Bengal were nearly all sold; fine white went at lls 6d to 12s, good 100 to lOs 6d, mid dling 9a 6d, and damaged 7s 6d to lOs 6d. Of Sago 311 bags were sold, but at rather lower terms, mid and good large pearl went at 19s to 20s Gd, and damaged 18s to 18s sd. Sago is cheaper, and 113 b ags went at is 6d for common dingy. At auction 130 pa c koges part sold; St. Vincents Gd to 70, Grenada 3d to 3id, S. Kitts 3 . 1 ; 78 packhges Tons lea Mois 2kki to lid, and Grenada 21 to 2d; 76 pkgs Tapioca 3d to 4d P r lb. _ 4 7czs —To-day at public sale 433 b ags o f Af r i can Gmitar sold at full rates; middling and good realized 27s to 85 %, and damaged 32s to 365 6d, but 52 cases of o.itnrnon cultivated sound Malabar taken in at 355. Of white Pepp, r 46 bags sold a, 41, 1 ,d to 441 for oidinily dingy, and 4 a u k, D utc h Limed Nutmegs taken in ;;,t 2a 8d por lb. SPlRlTS.—Previous terms are well supported for Jamaica Rum, and there has been a good home and ex port demand. The sales are 300 puns, 33 to 35 pa: cent over-proof at 2s 6d to 2s 9d, better sort 32 to 39 over 2s 10d to 3s 4d, superior 3s 6d to 4s, and a few cloudy 24 per cent over at 2s 4d per gallon. Operations in Demerara are upon a large scale, and amount to 500 puns at 2s Id to 2s 2d for 33 to 42 per cent over. Leeward Island has been in good de mand, and holders evince firmness. The purchases are 300 puns at is 4d to is 4id proof, with small parcels of brown at is sd. There are several buyers of East India at is 3d proof, but not many parcels are to be ob tsined. Brandy has not improved in value, yet a fair business has been done. Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1849 realized 4s 5d to 4s 7d, 1848 ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1847 ditto 5s 2d to 53 4d, and inferior sorts 2s 8d to 4s 3d per gallon. Geneva has been purchased with caution at is 7d to is Bd, and fine 2s to 3s. The value of British made Spirit is 9s 4d, with only a mode rate demand. _ INDlOO.—The market remains firm for East India, still only limited purchases have been made by shippers or home dealers, but the rates of the last quarterly sale are well supported. For auction on the 9th the quan tity has been increased 12,225 chests, of which 10,400 are new goods. A fair demand exists for Spanish, and former prices aro obtained. CGCHINEAL.—This afternoon the market for Cochi neal was quiet, and former rates are barely supported. Of 73 bags offered at auction a part only sold, Honduras, ord and mid silvers at 3s 8d to 3s 9d, mid black 4s; Te neriffe, silvery black 3s Iod to 3s I Id, and Mexican sil vers 3s 8d to 36 9d. SALTPETRE.—An increased demand has been experi enced for Rough, and the private operations are 8,000 bags at hilly former rates ; indeed in some cases a small advance has been obtained. The value is from 25e 6d to 27s 6il for low to fine 12 to 3 per cent refrac tion. Holders have confidence, and offered none at auction, although there is a much larger stock than at this time last year, but deliveries continue of a satis factory nature. The value of British Refined is 29s to 29s 6d, and a good demand exists. Nitrate of Soda is dull of sale at 14s to 143 6d. Ashes are still purchased with caution, Canada I'ot, first sort 293, and Pearl 283. TALLow.—The transactions in Russian on the spot have been of little moment, and previous terms are sup ported with difficulty- There are sellers of fine P. Y. Candle at 36s 6d to 36s 93, and of inferior sorts at 31 to 6d per cwt less. Not much has been transacted for delivery in the last three months of the year, and the rates accepted are 37s 6d. Home melted is offered at 35s to 35s 6d nett cash, but has been only in limited request, and there is no decrease of supply. Of other sorts the quantity on offer exceeds dealers' wants, and previous terms are supported with difficulty. At auction 218 casks Sydney were in rare soil at 34s to 353 6:1, and low 323 64 to 33s 2d; 519 packages South American. low to fine 32s 6d to 37s 3d, and 26 casks wrecked P.Y.

OILS.-1 he transactions in Rape Seed Oil have been limited, and prices are on the decline, British refined is to be obtained at 36s to 36s 6d, brown 34s to 35r, and Foreign pale at 37s per cwt. There are sellers for delivery rather under these rates. In Linseed Oil a large business has been cencluded, arel prices continue to advance, saes having been made at 31s 6d to 325, and there are several export orders in the market unexecuted. The amount of business concluded in Palm has been to a limit-el extent, and a reduction is apparent—sules having been made 30a for fine ; the market will also be better supplied shortly. Full terms are obtained for Cocoa Nut, and a gocd business has been concludeti by private treaty at 293 to 32s for Ceylon and Cochin. At auction 227 casks went at 29s for Ceylon, and at 30s for Bombay, but a part only sold. A small parcel of American refined Lard '(hl realized 26.. Prices have /till a downward tendency for Olive vii, and for all purp. - ses salt the keep upon a limited scale—Gallipoli and Spanish can be obtained at 411 to 411 10s, Barbary, Levant, and Portugal have at 391 to 401 lOs per tun. There is, however, a fair c•n ruasption with every prospect of a turther increase taking place. Seal met with a good demand, and the market is firm, pale at 31153 to 311 10s, and other sorts at 301 to 311, but the stock is getting larger. Southern met with more attention from shippers and home dealers, but not at higher rates. At auction 78 tuns all found buyers at from 501 15s to 321 5s for low to fine. In Cod not much has been done, still holder s are firm, and require 341 104 to 351. Sperm has been in excellent request, fully supporting former terms, but there is a better supply., At auction l'so tuns Colonial were all sold, good and fine at 841 to 851 10s. Head matter is still in small supply, and fine sells freely at 901 to 921 per tun.

Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY (DEVIATIONS, AMENDMENTS OF ACTS, ALTERATION OF TOLLS, AND OF EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY TOLLS) BILL. Oa the order of the day tor the third reading of this Lord CARRINGTON opposed the motion. The landholders on the line had been induced to consent to the Bill in 1846, on the ground of the lowness of the tolls. By this Bill the company sought to raise the tolls and thereby were violating faith. He moved that it be re committed in order to give the opponents of the Bill an opportunity of being heard. • Lord WHARNCLIFFE said the opponents of the Bill had already had ample opportunities of being heard, and he should press the third reading. After a few words from the Duke of RICHMOND, The Earl of GRANVILLE said that he should vote for the third reading of the Bill. Lord REDESDALE asked why the opposition to this Bill did not take place earlier ?—(Cheers.) He thought no railway company had any claim to come to Parlia ment to increase tolls. Many Bills had been carried solely nn the ground of the low rate of tolls. Earl FITZ WILLIAM bad no objection to the Bill generally; but with respect to an increase of tolls ho thought that some parties had been negligent in watching the progress of the measure. The result of this increase of tolls would be to cut off a great part of Lincolnshire from the London market, and he could only ac count for the delay of the opposition on the ground of the dislike which private individuals had to enter the lists against a powerful company. He thought it would be but just to send - this Bill again to a Committee. L:)rd KINNAIRD thought, that as another railway running through the same district had obtained power to increase their tolls, this Bill ought to be passed. To recommit that Bill would be virtually to lose it. Lord BEAUAONT considered that this Bill was a violation of agreement with the landowners, and they would be exposed year of year to tight this company if their Lordships admitted the principle that a railway company might violate an understanding by raising their tolls. After a few words from the Earl of DEVON, Lord STANLEY said that as the opponents of the Bill had not made application to be heard in time he should Support the third reading. The Earl of MANVERS would vote for the re•com mittal of the Bill. Lord WHARSCLIFFE replied. Their Lordships then divided, when there appeared— Contents (for the recommittal) ... 28 Non-contents . . •-• ••• ..• 37 Majority against the recommittal... —9 The Bill was then reads third time and passed. EXPOSITION OF 1851. On our re-admission to the gallery we found Lord BROUGHAM mov i ng for certain papers re lating to the exposition of 1851. Ho gave notice that he should postpone his motion on the subject to Thursday. Lord CAMPBELL hoped his Noble and Learned Friend would not postpone it beyond Thursday, because he (Lord Campbell) was most anxi ous , as L or d Chi e f Justice of England, to enter his s o l emn warning against what he had no hesitation in characterizing as certainly, if not illegal, at least the unconstitutional p roceed i ngs which were contemplated in this matter, and which would inflict a great grievance on her Majesty's subjects. Lord BROUGHAM would not postpone it beyond Thursday, and he entirely agreed with his Noble Friend in his view of this matter. THE SUN, FACTORY BILL. Lord STANLEY presented several petitions in fa vour of tho Ten Hours Bill. In answer to a question from a NOBLE LORD, The Duke of RICHMOND declared that he was deter mined to propose the clause which Lord John Manners had propos©d in the House of Commons. In answer to a question from the Earl of FEVER SHAM, The Earl of GRANVILLE said that he should move the second reading of the Bill on Monday, and take the discussion on the motion for going into Com mittee on the Monday following.

Instead. therefore, of injuring the tenant, he felt that in supporting the Bill he was doing hies a benefit, and he should resist the amendment. Sir G. GREY, in a few words, stated the grounds which would induce him to support the Bill as it stood. The circumstances which ronderod the Bill necessary in this country also existed in Ireland, and however they might differ as to what would be the operation of the measure, at least there could be no harm in extending it to Ireland. Their doing so would not at all interfere with any future legislation on the subject of tenant-right in Ireland, and he therefore hoped the House would negative the amend in ... -50 Sir R.

O'CONNOR moved that the petition of Charles Rathband Hyatt, complaining of the conduct of Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, and praying for inquiry (pre sented 24th of June), be printed. Mr. TEIORNELY, as chairman of the Committeo on Public Petitions, said the Committee had had the peti tion in question under their consideration, and that, owing to the nature of several of the statements con tained in it, the Committee had declined to print it.

The Court took special jury cases this morning; but the business was of interest merely to the persons con cerned. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The July Sessions for the county of Middlesex opened this morning, at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green. Henry Allen, a little boy, who hal been convicted se veral times, pleaded guilty to stealing a handkerchief. The JUDGE, in passing sentence, said this was one of the pupila of the Summary Juri s di ct i o n Bill. A father brings up his children to steal, because he knows that should they get convicted all his responsibility over them ceases for ever. This state of things would be averted if the Legislature would compel him to pay 2s. 6d. or 3R. a week for the child's maintenance while in prison. He should pass what would seem a sfvere sentence, so that he might be sent to Parkhurst arid learn a trade. The sentence of the Court was that ho be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the Coldbath fields House of Correction for tvel years. Devonshire, New York.

On the 20th of June the box was handed over to the landlord. Last night, when the club met, witness was told that the money, with the exception of 5/., was missing, and as the prisoner was suspected to have stolen it, witness went for an officer and the prisoner was given into cus tody. No portion uf the money had been found. James Ker, landlord of the Royal Tent, 5, Silver street, said the society was held at his house. On the 24th of June last witness received the club box from his wife, and placed it in his bar parlour. The keys of the box were kept by the society. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery. The box had three keys, one of which was kept by him and the other two by the trustees. He was positive the money was safe when he gave the box to Mrs. Ker, on the 20th. A witness [proved seeing the prisoner take out the notes on the night of the 20th of June, and put them in his pocket. Witness did not take any notice of this as the prisoner, in his capacity of treasurer, had the paying of the sick members. When witness heard that the money was missing, he informed the members of the club of what he had seen. The prisoner said he could explain this, ho had occa sion to take out of the box two sovereigns to give to some sick members, and as the notes were in the way he removed them, and held them in his hand until he had put the remainder of the gold away, when he placed the two 101. notes in a separate purse, and locked the box in the presence of the trustees. Mr. BINGHAM said the circumstances of the robbery were very suspicious, but as there was not sufficient evi. dence to warrant a further remand, he should discharge him. SUNDAY POST-OFFICE LABOUR (From the Dcronport Independent.) It is fair to presume that those well-meaning but not over-reflective people who demanded a cessation of Post-office labour on the Sabbath, have really asked for more than they intended, and like many other extravagant petitioners who get ail they entreat, they have had the misfortune to obtain more than they want. Because they do not like to open a letter on a Sunday, all the people of these kingdoms must be deprived of the advantages of postal communication for two days. There are to be two blank days to the man of business, two days without intelligence of commercial matters, two days with out information between friends in times of afflic tion, when into an hour of suspense is crowded the agony of years, two days before tidings of distress are to reach the benevolent capable of re lieving it, two days' delay, by pious obstacles, in the performance of deeds of piety or mercy. This measure, passed by the Sabbatarians for the better obstruction of all kinds of business, is the perfection of folly. Let us inquire what many of the rigidly righteous of the House of Commons, who voted for this embodiment of their wisdom, really do. They open their eyes upon the Sabbath, and ring for the attendance of their valet to go through his accus tomed task—not remembering the words " that thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou ; " they go to the breakfast-room that has been prepared on the Sabbath, to take the breakfast that with busy care has been laid out on the Sab bath for the satisfaction of their Sabbath creature comforts ; they order their horses, groomed on the Sabbath, to be harnessed in the carriage—Sabbath cleaned, that the coachman who has to put the fourth commandment in his pocket with his wages, may drive them to church as the Sabbath bells are ringing; the serving part of the household are en gaged in their Sabbath duties, connected with their master's eating and drinking on that blessed day. They may have learned that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath, and may have heard their employers in secular humour exclaim that there is nothing better than a good dinner. Leaving these gocd men in Sabbath meditation, perhaps with their wives— perheps over their wine, until they take their coffer, we see every requisite has been associated with Sab bath-breaking down to the milk, for which the sinful eadrymeid troubled the sinful cow. They take their Sabbath supper through the Sabbath industry of the larder, cook, and kitchen departments; they retire at length to their bedrooms, arranged on the Sabbath, and go to sleep on the beds so somniferously Sabbath made; they read next morn ing with the greatest pleasure the Times or Chronicle, the greater part of which was "got up" on the Sab bath, and in the evening go down to the House, like unexceptionable saints, to denounce by their votes the heinous crime of a widow receiving through the pest a letter on the Sabbath or the day after, from or about her dying child ! It generally requires care in condemning the extravagant or inconsistent regard 'for what is abstractedly a great good, since the opposition to the intemperate advocates of a principle might be taken for scoffing at the principle they practically degrade, rather than elevate. Hallowed indeed is the institution of the Sabbath, but it becomes so, not so much from dis continuing thereon what is good belonging to other days, as in adding to it much of goodness that belongs peculiarly to itself. The position we take, therefore, is not likely to be misunderstood by any reasoning persons ; it is the position adhered to by those who have inquired what it is that reason has to say on the subject. The only question is this—is there more of good than of evil done by the delivery of letters once on the Sabbath ? If people really believe that there is more cf evil than of good, that the receivers of letters are made more worldly, that the stream of mercy and benevolence is not strengthened, that kindly affections are not promoted, that it is not in telligence absolutely neceessary to be given on that particular day that it is transmitted, then of course they did perfectly right in opposing the continu ance of a Sunday post ; only they should bear in mind that if it be wrong to run mails on the Sunday, it is wrong to sail ships, that it is wrong for clerks in the Post office to work under any circumstances, it is wrong for clerks in any other dace to work, and a delayed dispatch, instructions kept back which might have been forwarded, the machinery of Government sus pended in particular cases in which it might have been kept going, and numberless other aberrations in the'ordinary course of affairs that may result in the greatest confusion, or most serious accidents, must be esteemed as slight sacrifices on the altar of resolute principle. If on the other hand, however, there be—and we contend there is—more good than evil resulting from the Postal communication on the Sunday, and if the opportunities for good which were thereby possessed will become, as we contend they must become, seri ously circumscribed, then there is no valid argument for discontinuing that communication. We maintain that the question is not simply whether a certain number of persons in the employ of the Post-office ought or ought not to do duty a short time on the Sunday, but whether the whole population shall be deprived, for two days out of every week, of some of the greatest facilities they have ever possessed, not only for commercial, but even for moral purposes. With respect to the determination of Government to give effect to the resolution of the House of Com mons, though we regret that determination, we must be free to confess that few possessed of their discre tion in the matter would have used it otherwise than they did. Tne representatives of the country chose to allow a small compact party of Anti-Sunday-Post men to place the Ministry in a minority, upon a question far more important to their constituencies than to the Administration. Mr. Rowland Hill had previously met with every species of misrepresenta tion and abuse. Had he been a thorough reprobate, and had every member of the Government resolved to support him in an attempt to ignore the observance of the Sabbath from the ritual of Christian obliga tions, scarcely more reproach could hare been cast upon them. An absurd cry was raised, it was em bodied in a resolution, and the onus of rejecting it was thrust upon the Government by the members who preferred rushing to their dinners, or riding to the races, to voting on the question. The Govern ment, therefore, found one party making earnest de mands, in ignorance as is believed, of the practical effect of them, if conceded ; and another party with out sufficient interest on the question to abstain from a race or postpone a dinner. Under these circum stances the Government resolved to let one party know exactly what it was they did, and the other feel what it was they neglected to do. It is very provok ing unquestionably, especially since Lord Brougham's legal doubts as to the correctness of the course pur sued, turn out as light as his own political reputation; but in the end this affair will prove the surest means of silencing for ever an agitation characterised by such an extraordinary disparity between motives and results. The suspension for two days of all Postal commu nication will never be tolerated when the inconve nience and loss involved come to be felt. As it is, the success of the righteousness of the House of Commons only springs out of a love for horse-racing, and an impatience for a dinner ! (From the Welshman.) SUNDAY LABOUR IN TEE POST.OFFICE.—OO Sunday last the recent regulations (published elsewhere) respecting the non-delivery of letters on the Sabbath Day came into operation in this and all other towns throughout the kingdom, and although it would naturally be less felt here than in other places of more extended commercial importance, in consequence of the comparative strictness with which the Lord's Day is usually observed in Carmarthen, yet even in this town the public was subjected to a great amount of inconvenience and annoyance, which will, of course, be considerably multiplied in all cases where an emergency shall arise for the rapid trans mission of intelligence. We may remark, en passant, that if the regulation was intended to promote relax ation from labour on the part of those employed in the Post-office here, it decidedly failed, for there was no remission of toil on the part of the usual employes, if we except the actual delivery of the letters and newspapers. It is only an act of justice to acknow ledge the convenience afforded by the deputy -post master ' of this town, by g i v i ng an extra delivery at seven o clock on Mond a y morning, thereby affording an opportunity of replyi ng by first mail t o L on d on. lit is evident that a recurrence to the old mode must be speedily resorted to, but it is, perhaps, judicious that the present system should be, permitted to dis play the full amount of vexatious inconvenience it entails.

THE NEW POST -OFFICE REGULATIONS.- At a numerou4 meeting of the members of the Cooker- First Second Third mouth Mechanics' Institute, on Wednesday last, the following petition to the House cf Commons was unanimously adopted on the motion of Mr. Smet hurst, &,ec , . - mded by Air. Thomas Martin : " To the Honourable the Commons or the tfeited dom of Great Britain and ?laud in Parliament as- sembled. " The humble petition of the members of the Cocker mouth Mechanics' Institute, in the county of Cum bHland, " Sheweth—Tliat the above institute has been estat lishod many years, during which it has been the means of doing much good, by promoting the welfare and hap piness of its members generally by being open on the Sunday afternoon as a refuliog room. " But as your Honourable House has lately been pleased to pass a resolution prohibiting the delivery of newspapers and letters on the Sunday, which dry they arrive iu Cockermouth, keeping them locked up till Monday, when the great majority of your petition ers, being working men, have no means of reading or seeing them; " 17e v:erefore humbly pray that your Honourable House will be pleased to rescind your lute resolution, so that we may learn the passing; events, end read the de b Ates of your Honourable House es usual. " And your petitioners will ever pray." Another petition of the electors and inhabitants of the place has been numerously signed by all parties of politicians, and a general feeling,* of indignation exists in the town against the Comtnons resolution. We trust the example set by Cockermouth will be speedily followed by every town in the kingdom, for a more insolent, dictatorial, inconvenient, absurd, and canting measure was never btfore heard of in England.

Mr. FREWEN presented a petition from a place in Sussex against the admission of Jews into Parliament. Several petitions to the same effect were presented from other places. Sir G. GREY presented a petition, from Torquay against the recent postal arrangement. Lord NAAS presented a petition from a place in Ireland against the bonding system, respecting Irish spirits. Mr. COWAN present( d a petition from the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railway Company against the Rail way Audit Bill. LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL Mr. PUSEY moved the third reading of this Bill, and stated that he proposed to extend its operation to Ireland. He trusted he would receive the support of Irish Members, for if the Bill did not answer the ex• pectations of its promoters, it could do no harm. Colonel SIBTHORP moved that it be read a third time that day six months. He believed that the Bill would give rise not only to great difficulties, but to end less litigation, and would, besides, unsettle all those ex cellent arrangements which had hitherto existed between landlords and tenants, and conduced t 3 the interest of both. Sir JOHN Y. BULLER objected to the Bill being extended to Ireland, on the ground that if it did not effect much good it could do no harm. It was their business, before they passed any measure, to ascertain that it would not be altogether a nullity in regard to its operation. The Bill, he thought, was full of objections, the chief being that it would open the door to constant and continued litigation. There were so many difficulties in the way of carrying out such a measure as this that he hoped it would not be further persevered in. Mr. SHA.RMAN CRAWFORD said he should raise the questicn that the Bill be not extended to Ireland after the House had disposed of the third reading. Mr. PUSEY said there would be no difficulty in putting the Bill into operation, and as it would confer great benefit upon the country he trusted the House would allow it to pass into a law. There was nothing theoretical in the Bill; on the contrary, the system which it legalised bad been in force for years. Mr. CHRISTOPHER should not have risen had it not been for the latter statement of the last speaker. He denied that the system propounded by this Bill was already in force, certainly it was not in Lincolnshire, the county with which he was connected. No doubt the customs of landlords in that county were exceedingly liberal, but that arose from no compulsory cause, but rather frcm the good understanding which fortunately existed there between landlord and tenant. Mr. MICULLAGH could net vote for the third read ing, because the Bill embraced Ireland. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND considered this Bill mo.t objectionable; it was, in fact, an attempt to interfere with the rights of private property. Now the House never sanctioned such an interference unless it were for the •public good,, such as in the case of a railrc a-I. There was, however, no public necessity for the interference proposed by the Bill, and he should cer tainly vote for the amendment, being firmly convinced that - if the Bill passed into a law, instead of benefiting , the tenant, it would give rise to everlasting disputes be tween landlords and tenants. The Hon. Member for Berkshire, who bad charge of the Bill, ought to be the last man to talk about teaching landlords how to manage their estates, for if the Times' Commissioner was to be relied on, the Hen. Member's farm was badly managed and over-stocked with lean sheep.—(Laughter.) Mr. PUSHY claimed the right of reply on the ground that if his character as a politicise had not been attacked at least his character as a tradesman had.—(No, no.) He denied the statement cf the Hon. Baronet who had just sat down. Mr. HENLEY thought, too, that the Hon. Member's character as a farmer bad been attacked, but the Hon. Baronet who made the attack forgot to mention that the observations of the Times' Commissioner only applied to the Hon. Member's water meadows. The writer eulo gised the general management of the Hon. Member's farm, but found fault with his practice of feeding lean sheep on water meadows.—(A laugh.) The House then divided, when there appea. Forthe amendment ... 17 Against it ... s.. ... 53 Majority against it ... —36 On entering the Railer 3, we found Mr. MULLINGS moving the following clause:— " And with a view of preventing or lessening the evils of the right to emblemente, as well as the loss and injury to tenants holding under landlords having limited interests, be 'it entieted, that whero the lease or tenancy of a farm held by a tenant at rack rent shall determine by the death or cesser of the estate of any landlord entitled for his life, or for any other limited in terest, the tenant shall continue to hold and occupy the farm until the expiration of the then current year, and shall then quit upon the terms of his lease or holding, in the same manner as if such lease or tenancy were then determined by efauxion of time or other lawful means during the continuance of his landlord's estate, and the succeeding landlord shall bo entitled i to recover and re ceive of the tenant, in the same manner as his predeces sor could have done if living, a fair proportion of the rent for the period which may have elapsed from the day of the death or cesser of the estate of such predecessor to the time of the tenant so quitting, and the suc ceeding landlord and the tenant respectively shall, as between themselves and as against each other, be entitled to all the benefits and advantages and be subject to the restrictions to which the preceding landlord and such tenant respectively would have been entitled and subject, in case the lease or tenancy had determined in manner aforesaid at the expiration of such current year." Mr. PUSEY intimated that he should not oppose the clause. The clause was then agreed to. Mr. MULLINGS then zaoved a clause to the effect— " That in case the growing crops of the tenant of any farm shall be seized and sold by any sheriff or other officer, by virtue of any writ of fieri tacias, or other writ of ex ecution, such crops shall, so long as the same shall remain upon the faxm, be liable to the rent which may accrue and become due to the landlord after any such seizure 2.nd sale, and to the remedies by distress and otherwise for recovery of such rent, and that not withstanding any bargain and sale or assignment which may have been made or executed of such crops by any such sheriff or other officer." The clause was agreed to witheni a division. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD then moved that the Bill should not extend to Ireland. The Hen. Gentle men entered at some length into the history of the Legislative enactments for the landlord and tenant question in Ireland. He contended that though the pre sent Bill might be suitable to England it was in no way suitable for Ireland. He called upon the House to re• member the great i3ifft!rence of the relation between landlord and tenant in England and Ireland. He ob jected, in the present state of the feelings of the Irish people, to accept this imperfect legislation; ho thought it would be unjust to suprort their half-measure at a time when Ireland expects d some full and pc' feet measure. Mr. M'CULLAGH seconded the amendment. Mr. HENRY HERBERT opposed the amendment. Ho was certainly astonished at the course which the Honourable Scc:;nder of the amendment had taken , upon tho present occasion. Last year he had voted for the third reading of the Bill of that session, hich was exactly the same Bill as the present Bill, and now he opposed the Bill. The Hon. Mover of the amendment, too, last year supported the extension of the Bill to Ireland, and now he opposed it. He could not understand the change of conduct is these two gentlemen. He condemned the agitation which had been raised by the Hon. Member fur Rochdale upon this question, and be thought that those gentlemen who made such demands for the tenants of Ireland were not their best friends. He did not look upon this Bill as a final settlement of the landlord and tenant question in Ireland, and ho must be permitted to express his regret that Government had thrown over for this session, at least, the Bill of the Right Honourable Secretary for Ireland. If ever there was a time when such a Bi I ought to be persevered in the present was that time, and atter the hopes that were held out to Ireland in the Speech from the Throne, it was highly impolitic to withdraw the Bill to which he had just referred. The landlords of Ireland ought to take this opportunity of coming forward with concessions, and bring this question to speedy set tlement. In the meantime he called upon the House to pass this Bill in its integrity and reject the amend ment of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Rochdale. Mr. M'CULLAGH said circumstances had changed since this measure was before the House last session. It was now too late to put this Bill off as a settlement of this vexed question, and he, therefore, blamed Government for neglect in the past few months. They ought to have passed a 1301 on this subject long ago, but the fere could not be disguised that the landlord interest predominated in that House. That feeling had already gained a strong hold of the tenants of Ireland, and vthatever taunts might be thrown out against him of fostering discontent in Ireland, he would still persist in declaring that th occupier of land in Ireland had not been fairly dealt with either by the Government or the House. The people of Ireland were irritated at the neglect of their interest by the House, and he warned the Government that continued delay would drive them to extremes. Last year this Bill might have served to allay tie feeling of excitement that then prevailed, and that was one reason why he supported it then; but now ltahregep,eolipbleeralo,f a l e r d ela e nd emp w re o h u e ld esi o v n e ly ea b e e satisfied measure.

Far better would it be to discard this Bill altogether, and direct their attention to something that would put the matter at rest for ever. eiffnect the et tofladrceide Air. A. STAFFORD could cot help thinking that the conduct of the lion. Gentleman who bad just sat down, in the reference to this Bill, was eccentric if not incon: sibtent. The reasons a hich ho hai statei for opposing the Bill were just tly)se which ought to induce him to support it. The Honourable Gentleman said the ques tion bad been so long delayed that he despaired of ever seeing it settled. Why, that was the very reason why he ought to support the Bill, for it would be one step towards ascert ainin g whether i t could be adjusted or not. True, the Bill did not confer upon the tenantry of Ireland all that they were entitled to, but that was no reason why they should refuso to take Dome MONTHLY MILITARY 03IFUARY.

In his attempt to escape he threw himself into the river, and a policeman in effecting his capture jumped in after him, and both were near being drowned. Policeman Parrett+, 196 14, stated that between three and four o'clock on Sunday morning, while on duty in Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, his atten tion was arrested on observing the prisoner clamber ing over the railings of the area of No. 32, in that street, with a large bundle. The prisoner jumped down from the top of the railings to the pavement, and on seeing him (the policeman) approach he threw down the bundle and ran down one of the turnings leading to the river. He was pur sued by the policeman, and when .he got near the water sde he leaped on a barge and threw himself off into the river and began to strike out towards the landing-place near the bridge. The policeman, however, finding that the prisoner was likely to escape jumped into the water afcer him and soon came up with him, but both of them being nearly exhausted, owing to their clothes being saturated with water, they would have sunk probably had not a Thames galley happened to pass .and assisted both out of the river, when the prisoner was taken to the station-house. Upon subsequent inquiry it was as certained that the bundle of clothes seen in the pri soner's possession belonged to the family residing at No. 32, Stamford-street, and had been thrown down the area on Saturday night by the person who had them to wash, under the supposition that they would be seen by the servants and taken into the house on the:following morning. Instead, however, of this latter expectation being verified, the prisoner, who hap pened to be out early on the prowl before the servants were up, caught sight of the bundle as it lay in the area, and getting o ve r th e ra ili ngs he soon possessed himself of it, and was making off with it when he was seen by the policeman and taken into custody as above described. Mr. A'BECKETT said he should remand the prisoner until Thursday, in order that some inquiry should be made about him. LAMBETH. • Yesterday being appointed for the final examination of Mr. Henry Page, a master bricklayer, and Mary Clarke, for bigamy, the court was crowded to suffo cation by persons anxious to hear the evidence in this extraordinary case. The male prisoner, it may be recollected, was given into custody on the 17th of last mouth fur administer ing poison to the female prisoner, to whom he was married. During the inquiries of the officer he as certained that both the prisoners were previously married, and that the former husband and wife were then living. As soon as the female was sufficiently recovered he apprehended her, and both were re manded until that day for the depositions against them to be taken. The female prisoner admitted in the presence of the constable that she was married to a man named Clarke, and that he was living; she also stated that Page administered some drug to her in some drink, in a coffee-house near NewingtonChurch. Mr. Solomon, the solicitor, was in attendance to watch the proceedings on behalf of Page. Evidence having been given with respect to the double marriages on each side, which satisfied the magistrate that there was a sufficient case to go to a jury,_ Ali..ELLioTr said he should commit them both for trial. Mr. Solomon asked for hi 3 client to be admitted to bail, as his Worship had intimated that he would on the last occasion.
