TWENTY-TWO OF THE NORTHUMBERLAND CLUB--This contest was brought to its termination at Newcastle-on-Tyne on Wednes day. The Eleven made a greater number of runs in one innings than in any other in which they have been engaged since they first went forth as the Eleven of England. The enormous amount of 308 runs was placed upon their score, of which Clarke contributed as many as 72, Mr. Myna 52, Parr, 35, liillyer 31, Caffy n 29, M r. Felix 23, and Mar tingell 21. Against this almost overwhelming hands the men of Northumberland embarked upon their batting. Little, however, was done until Anderson made his appearance, and he only constributed 20 be fore Day discovered the way to his wicket. Next to him on the list in point of number of runs was Mr. Ruck, who offered 16; next was Mr. Dale, 15; then Wright (a given man from Sheffield), 13; next J. Moor, 11; then Lieut. Goodlake, Mr. Nichol, and Mr. Martinson, jun., by each of whom the score was in creased 10 runs. The total of their first innings being but 151, of course as they were in a minority of 157, the representatives of Northumber land were called upon to follow their innings. This they did, when they reduced their minority to 56, and the Eleven had only been able to deprive them of five of their wickets. Of this number Wright obtained as many as 65, by some admirable play, and Mr. Spencer 22. The match, therefore, stands a drawn one. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Rear-Admiral Moresby, C. 8., in the Portland, 50, was at Panama, from Valparaiso, April 20, and was about to sail in a few days for Vancouver's and the Sandwich Islands. A seaman was killed and four others were dangerously hurt at Callao from the bursting of a shell. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert hoisted the pendant yesterday morning, when Commander Crispin ; the officers and crew proceeded to get her ready for ser vice. At eleven o'clock Captain Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence went on board her, and the yacht immediately steamed to Cowes, where she will lie at anchor so long a.; the Court remain at Osborne. We understand her Majesty's birth-day will be celebrated at Osborne to-day. The band of the Royal Marine corps go to Cowes to night to be in readiness to perform in the grounds of Osborne to-morrow morning. The Asia, 84, was dismasted yesterday, and will pay off to-day alongside the yard. We hear that a great many of her seamen have sent their traps to the Sailors' Home. Daphne, 18, Captain E. G. Fanshaw, arrived at Pa nama, April 16, from Central America. Disdains, 19, Captain B. Wellesley, arrived at Callao on the 12th of March, and sailed on the 15th for Buenos Ayres. Driver, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Johnson, arrived at Panama on the 13th of April from Guayaquil. Cockatrice tender, Master-Commander Roundle, arrived at Callao from Valparaiso, April 14, and bailed, 22d, for Payta. Gorgon, 6, steam-frigate, Commander Paynter, arrived at Punta Arenas, May 26, and sailed April 4. Styx steam-sloop sailed on Thursday morning from Devonport, in charge of Lieutenant Stevens, of the St. George, manned from the St. George and the dockyard, for Portsmouth; from thence she will proceed to Pem broke, and bring back the marines now doing duty al port, the duty henceforth to be performed by troops of the line. Bascawen, 70, fitting for the ordinary guard-ship at Chatham, has been sent out of dock, and is nearly cum pleted in her equipment. Meanee, 80, has been taken into dock at Chatham, to complete her internal fittings. Thunder bomb vessel has been taken into dock at Chatham, to be taken to pieces. The officers of the Sardinian steam-frigate appear to be a fine gentlemanly set of men. They have, many of them, taken advantage of the permission given them to see the naval arsenal. Yesterday her former captain, the Count Perseus, visited the dockyard in plain clothes. The Governollo is in very fine order, and she has a very excellent crew. The Turkish frigate remains alongside the Victorious hulk, off Portsmouth dockyard. They have some curious customs, amongst which they seem remarkably fond of the pipe or whistle, using it both day and night. It seems to be continually going when they are at work in the day, and at night it is used for the purpose (we suppose) of showing that the watch are on the qui vice. At about ten o'clock at night the Turkish band usually strike up, and play for a short time. The gunner from the Excellent, who has been attached to them since their arrival in this country, to teach them the gun and sword exercise, still visits them daily. They are said to be tolerably apt scholars. The frigate will probably be masted the early part of next week. CHATSAIL—NearIy the whole of the workmen of this establishment have availed themselves of the very liberal offer of the Admiralty, of granting them three days' holiday, without being checked of their pay, for the purpose of visiting the Great Exhibition. The men are to go in divisions —the first party will commence their holidays on the 26th inst. Mr. William Hale, boatswain of Chatham-yard, is superannuated on a pension of 1001. per annum.

MEDITERRANEAN SCREWS AND PADDLES.--The Liverpool steamer Nile, which returned to Malta on the 29th April with damage, left again on the 7th May for Liverpool, after making the necessary repairs. At the period of hn• bearing up for ,Ilalta this vessel had no less than thirteen feet of water in her after compartment; but, being constructed of iron, and divided into compartments, the centre and ar a parts of the ship remained perfectly tight and dry. This in stance affords a great proof of the security of life in iron over wooden vessels, and furnishes a strong recommendation to our Legislature to adopt iron ships for mail ter_ vices, when attended with passenger traffic, in preference to wooden ones. In the case before us, had the leak occurred to a wooden vessel, the crew could not have cone otherwise than abandon her, and endeavour to seek, by means of the ship's boats, the possible although uncertain preservation of their lives, whilst a noble ship, with a valuable cargo, must have been inevitably lost. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Sul tan, which left Southampton oa the 29th of April, reached Malta on the night of the Bth of May, and the Ganges, belonging to the same company, whist left the same port on the night of the Ist May, reached Malta early on the morning of the 9th, both vessels having over land touched and coaled at Gibraltar. The Ripon, Peninsular and on th ol e Oriental Company's steamer, arrived at Malta, after at un- I precedentedly fine run of three days and six and a half hours mail l3tn . o f the Tn e 7t h Sultan la ttronil: A lexandria, on the morning of the 13th May, and was for Southampton on the same evening.

The business transacted this week has been on a very reduced scale, extending even to the upper class of divi dend mines. Doubtleds, the increased value of money, and some commercial reverses, have much to do with this altered state of things in our market; but we trust the tendbtcy of actual circumstances will be to purify uur share lists, and tend to future benefit. There is a decline in the value of the middle class, bush of dividend and other mines, which may probably give confidence to buyers, and lead to a renewal of operations on a perfectly bate basis. It is scarcely necessary to add, that a con siderable portion of the concerns newly introduced, for speculative purposes only, are rapidly dwindling into obscurity. In the Metal Market, Copper is brisk, and prices are well maintained.—Lead is nut so good as last week.— Tin remains flat: a few small cash parcels of Banca have been sold at 781., but the principal holders require 804 -13 pelter is heavy, and but few buyers at present prices. The directors of the Devon Great Consols, at their weekly board meeting, held yesterday, declared a divi dend of 8/. per share, amounting to 8,1921., from nett rofits arising from sales of copper ores, sampled for the months of January and February last. After payment of this dividend, there will remain in hand a balance of 16,570/. 16s, 7d. in cash, ore bills net at maturity, and reserved fund applicable to the general purposes of the uonepany. At the Lisburne Mines meeting, on Wednesday, the accounts showed a prosperous state of affairs-3,116 tons of lead ore were sold in 1850, which realised nett 32 328/. 4s. 3d. The costs amounted to 20,135/. 9s. 2d., and the proti: to 12,1921. 155, Id. Six uividends had been paid in the year, amounting to 11,5004 and the ba- lance in hand amounted to 5,3931. 104 lid. on the 31st Dec. last. At the Goginan Mine meeting, on Wednesday, the accounts showed that there had been 956 tons of lead ore sold in the year 1850, which realized, atter deduct ing dues, 13,955/. Is, 63. The costs amounted to the sum of 12,380/. 14s. 23,, leaving a profit of 1,574 i 6s. 9d. Four dividends of 5001. each had been paid, leaving a balance in hand of 1,8701. is. I Id.

Instead of the present process the proposed measure gave the mort gagee perfect security without expense. The Noble and Learned Lord never stated his objections in Com mittee, and that was the proper place for the Noble and Learned Lord to bring forward his objections if he en tertained them. He had a great suspicion that the Noble and Learned Lord was against registration altogether, and he thought he might turn round and oppose the measure which was introduced by his own colleagues in the Government. There was no intention, as the Noble Lord opposite supposed, of forcing him to bring all his title-deeds to London. All he would have to do, if he wished to dispose of his estate, would be to afford the proposed purchaser an op portunity, which under the present system he would de mand, of investigating the title; and the registration would enable the purchaser to dispose of the estate with much greater facility than the Noble Lord could do under the present system. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that his respect for their Lordships would not suffer him to pass over the imputation of unfairness, and he hoped that their Lord ships would not judge of the general accuracy of the Noble Lord by his accuracy on this occasion. Re had attended the Committee on its second meeting, and stated that he understood that great objections existed to the scheme, but had not made up his mind, and that under standing great differences of opinion existed among the Commissioners, he said he thought the best plan would be to examine the Commissioners. They were examined, and, although that examination was not concluded, he had heard sufficient to satisfy him that the plan of maps was perfectly impracticable. If a plan could be devised for registration which could carry out the object he would support it. It was easy to bring in Bills for reform, but unless they were well considered they were worse than useless. If this Bill could facilitate the conveyance of pro perty it would be ofgreat use,,if not it would be a great evil. He had not attended the Committee since. He had not the power of attending the Committee and of admi nistering justice in their Lordships' House and the Court of Chancery at the same time.—(Hear, hear.) What did the Noble Lord mean by taxing him with unfairness I He had done his best, consistent with the numerous and onerous duties he had to perform— (Hear)—to understand this Bill, and he thought the Bill required amendment. There was one clause which was most objectionable, and that was the clause that required a wilt to be registered within two years. That clause would disinherit many widows and orphans. He had met with many persons who had been loud in their eulogies on this Bill, because they were ignorant of its provisions, but when they were informed of them they changed their opinions. He was not the opponent of registration, he would be a most zealous assistant if his Noble and Learned Friend would introduce a measure that was practicable, Lord BEAUMONT explained, that in using the word unfairness he had no intention of casting any personal imputation on the Noble and Learned Lord. He had merely meant to say that he thought if the Noble and Learned Lord had attended the Committee he might have rendered the cause of registration, of which he declared himself a friend, great service. Lord GRAN WORTH made several observations in defence of the Bill. The nature of the machinery by which the Bill was to be carried into execution was pointed out, and the moclas operandi, but the details were not pointed out. If their Lordships were to wait till the details were settled, the Bill must be postponed indefi nitely. He felt that there was great force in the objec tion to proceeding with this Bill to-night, inasmuch as the print had only been circulated yesterday. Here the conversation dropped. GUANO. The Duke of RICHMOND, after having presented a number or petitions from places in Sussex, aad in various parts of Scotland, against Papal aggression, proceeded to say that he wished to pnt a question to his Noble Friend the Secretary for the colonies on a subject of some importance to the agriculturists of this country. It was well known that there had been extensive importa tions of guano of late years into our ports. The Peru vian Uovernment had hitherto enjoyed a monopoly of that article, and although they might have sold it in London at a profit for 51. a ton, they had charged for it not less than 91, or 101. a ton. The agri culturists of this country had, however, learned with great satisfaction that a discovery of large quan tities of guano had lately been made in Wes tern Australia. But they had at the same time learned with surprise and regret that the Governor of that colony had placed upon the article the enormous export duty of 21. per ton. Now, as the people of this coun try admitted Australian wool and corn into their markets without the payment of any duty, it was rather hard that the Australian Government should place on one of their export articles that high duty. He wished to ask his Noble Friend whether he was aware that the Governor of Western Australia had imposed that heavy tax on the export of guano; and, if so, whether that proceeding met with his approval? Earl GREY said it was true that a discovery of large quantities of guano had been made in Western Austra lia at a distance of about 300 miles to the north of Fremantle. It was also true that an export duty of about 21. per ton had been imposed by the Governor of Western Australia on that article. When that intelli gence had reached him, he had felt that that duty was too high. But as the article was a ♦aluable one, and to be found in limited quantities only, and as it was de sirable that precautions should be taken for preventing its being wasted, he thought it only fair that a mode rate duty should be paid for covering the cost of those precautions. In the years 1844 and 1845 the export duty on guano had been fixed at the Cape of Good Hope at 14 per ton. That appeared to him to be a fair amount, and he thought it only reasonable that a simi lar charge should be imposed in Western Australia. He had therefore sent a dispatch to the Governor of that colony directing him to reduce the export duty on guano to 14 per ton, and at the same time to afford every facility in his power to persons engaged in tha . trade. The Duke of RICHMOND said he felt much obliged o his Noble Friend for that answer. He would, how ever, remind his Noble Friend, that in the years 1844 and 1845, when a duty of 11. per ton had been imposed ors guano at the Cape of Good Hope, the agriculturists of the country had been much better able to afford the payment of it than they were at present.—(Hear.) They had then been receiving 603. a quarter for wheat, while they were at present receiving only 403. a quarter; and if they could get a return to the old prices of wheat they would have no objection to the payment of a duty of 1/. per ton on guano.—(Hear. and laughter.) He would, however, submit to his Noble Friend, that it would at least be but fair to order the Custom-house officers to return 1/. on each ton of that guano for which a duty of 21. per ton had already been paid. Earl GREY said it was not always easy to remedy a mistake. He believed that if 11. of the 2/. duty were returned that would be of very little use to the farmers, and would benefit no parties but those who had shipped the article. PENTONVILLE PRISON. The Bishop of OXFORD rose, pursuant to notice, to put a question on the subject of certain recent altera tions in the administration of Pentonvillo Prison. That prison had been originally established with a view to make a great experiment for the punishment, and at the sumo time for the reformation, of criminals. In order to carry out that experiment it had been arranged that no person who had become indurated in vice should be confined in that prison; that it should only be employed for the punishment of persons who had com mitted a first, or at most, a second, offence; that pri soners there should be subject to separate confinement; and that after they had been released from it they should not be subject to any degrading punishment, or compelled to associate with the more abandoned class of criminals. That arrangement had been for some years adhered to, and, as he believed, with marked success. But it would appear from the report which had been presented to Parliament last year, with re spect to the state of the prison, and from the report of this year, which had been printed, but which had not yet been published, that those conditions had recently been, to a great extent, disregarded. He found that among the parties who had last year been sent to Pen tonville Prison, some had been punished five times, others six times, others ten times, others sixteen time s , and others so many as twenty times, while some of them were convicts who had returned from Van Diemen's Land after having spent there a term of transportation during the worst and most frightful period of the penal system in that colony. It appeared, too, that althou g h one c h ap l a i n had declared that the system could not be fairly tried unless the pri soners were kept at Pentonville for a period of twelve months; and although another chaplain thought an im prisonment of eighteen months indispensable for that purpose, the average period of the imprisonment of par ties last year had not exceeded forty weeks. Then, again, with respect to the destination of those persons who had passed through the discipline of the prison, he perceived that in that case also there had been a departure from the original understanding upon the subject. It had been originally proposed that those persons should be allowed an opportunity, either in this country or in some of our colonies, of regaining by industry and honesty a place in society. But he found from the return for the last year that 68 of them had been sent in one draught to the York hulk; that 23 of them had been sent there in ano ther draught; that 53 of them had been sent to Portland prison; and that 109 of them had been sent to the hulks at Bermuda. Now, he was aware that the Surveyor.. General of Prisons thought that the object for which the prison had been founded might be attained, notwith standing those alterations, and he entertained the highest respect for that gentleman; but still that was merely a matter of opinion, and he confessed he could not help arriving at a contrary conclusion. Pentonville prison had been established for the purpose of carrying out the great experiment in the way of the reformation of pri soners; and in his opinion that experiment could not be fairly tried if hardened criminals were sent to the prison, and if those who had passed through the discipline there were subsequently exposed to the worst species of moral contamination. Ho believed that the practice of sending those persons to the public works in Portland, Bermuda, or elsewhere, would be fatal to the whole system. Ho was glad, however, to find that in one department of the public works at Portland arrangements had been made which would save n the prisoners from th e l oss o f se ll- res p ec t, by removing them from the public gaze and enabling them to gain some of the rewards of labour. But he should repeat, that he feared th e s y s t em or i g i na lly e stablished at Pen tonville prison had been departed from to aneile r x xtent which ser ious ly en d angere d t h e suc c e ss of th w perimenr. Th e ques ti on h o h a rt to ask her Majesty's Ministers was, h ow f a r th e y had carried er out, o in tended to carry out, alterations in the fundamental prin ciples of th e a d m i n i s t ra ti o n of the Pentonville p r i son? He should h e glad able to .toreceise from explana tion they might be offeruon the them points ay to which he had just directed their attention. Earl GREY said, it was true that Pentonville prison stood at present on a somewhat different footing from that which it hid been occupied wht n it had been used merely for the purpose or carrying out a great experi ment. That prison had originally been established with a view to determine whether the system of sepa rate confinement ought or ought not to be generally adopted. So long as that system was employed as an expritnent it was quite right that it should be st, ictly adhered to; but it was obvious, Chet in order to make it really tell on the criminal administration of the country it was necessary, after the experiment had been found successful on a limited scale, it should be extended to criminals generally, and not be confined to a f ew selected individuals The experiment as originally made had been found eminently successful, and it was for that reason that it had been carried into more extended operation. It was true that prisoners who had returned to this country after having undergone former sentences of transportation were at peesent to be found in Pentonville prison; but he should observe that those persons formed the very class of cri minals whom it was most desirable to subject to separate confinement, and to deprive of the opportunity of conta minating the minds of others. There was no part of the punishment to which criminals were subjected which they dreaded so much as separate confinement. They all knew that it was so awfully severe that no man could undergo it for any great length of time without consi derable injury to both mind and body. Indeed without the nicest attention it could not be safe to inflict that system beyond a given time. Some time ago some men were kept for twenty months under the operation of the system, and they were broken in health and smength to a degree which it was never the intention of Government or Parliament to effect.—(Hear, hear.) Now, if men went through that punishment for minor offences, there should be something more for serious crimes. As long as it was an experiment it might be very well to confine it to one particular class, but when it became a general system, they could not apply tie same punishment to the man who had committed a minor offence and to him who had committed a manslaughter, only a degree removed from murder. Such a prisoner ought not to be sent, after eighteen months' separate imprisonment, to labour. The system a convict labour pursued at Portland was carried out in the hulks. A change in the system was no doubt de r irable, but it could only be brought into operation ; tradually. It was the intention of his Right Hon Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department to get rid of the hulks as fast as possible ; and a sum of 10,0001. or 12,0001. yearly was applied in extending oonvict accommodation at Bermuda, Gibraltar, Port land, and Dartmoor. The Right Rev. Prelate seemed to think that separate confinement should follow, not precede, labour in gangs ; and he had referred to the opinions of Sir W. Denison in support of his proposi t.on. But it should be remembered that Sir W. De nison had given that opinion in 1847 before he could have had sufficient experience of the conduct and lives otf the convicts subjected to the separate confinement system, and then put upon the public works.—(Hear, hear.) All those who superintended public works :sgreed in opinion that it would be impossible eo enforce the system which they carried on at such works, if the convicts had not previously gone through the ordeal of separate confinement. They te and that the severest punishment to be inflicted on convicts engaged in associated labour gangs was to send them back to separate confinement. It was said that the labour in Portland could not be penal unless it was dlegrading; but he would ask was not that labour a punishment, and were not all punishments degrading? Undoubtedly it was felt to be a very severe punishment t o have a man kept at hard labour all day without any Nve4gQs, and to have him sent at night into a little soli tary cell. Taking the large number of convicts sent to oar colonies into account, it was found that by far the greater proportion of those who had subsequently be come masters, and had behaved well, were men who had gone through the two stages of punishment. The light Rev. Prelate had raid that the system of Penton- Fine prison had been altered by allowing a certain num ber of the prisoners confined at night in separate cells to mix together in the day for the purpose of performing a portion of the prison labour; and he had condemned the injudicious economy of allowing such a proceeding to break down the system. He fully agreed that it would be very ill-judged to sacrifice the system to any petty saving of that kind; but at the same time, looking at the littgo amount of money expended in carrying out crimi nal punishment in this country, it was necessary to keep down the expenditure as much as possible in order to e nable them to introduce those improvements which IN' , ere essential, as soon as they could.—(Hear, hear.) Tho Duke of RICHNIOND wished, as one of the first of the Commissioners appointed to examine into tis at question, to address a few words to their Lord slaips upon it. He had been among those who always doubted whether a separate confinement of eighteen months, and labour afterwards, was not too much for this health and faculties of prisoners. Having had fre quent opportunities of examining those unhappy men while in prison, he could state that the separate punish "mut was considered most severe. He was not cognisant oi? the present system adopted at Pentonville, and there fore could not take upon himself to say whether or not the new system had worked better than the old; but this he knew, that a Noble Friend of his was of opinion thitt it was absolutely necessary that convicts atter separate confinement should work in association prior to their being sent to the convict ships. The change from one condition to another was so great, that such a precaution was required, and during their management they had always acted upon that prin e,ple. The present was not a party question, it was one in which the pevplo of this great empire was very much concerned, because it was their duty to reform as well as punish, and they were bound to take care that the runt whom they sent into confinement should not leave t'ae walls of their prisons worse than when they entered taern.—(Hear, hear.) The separate confinement with em- labour was a heavier punishment than with labour. He thought 18 months was too much as a period for separate confinement, but he feared that nine months was not sufficient.—(Hear, hear.) After a few words from the Earl of CHICHESTER, who was understood to defend the present system, Earl GREY said it was the intention to make every cenvict sentenced to transportation go through twelve months of separate confinement. The subject then dropped. The Earl of HARDWICKE presented a large num ber of petitions from Cambridgeshire, against Papal aggression. Lord CAMPBELL postponed, until Friday next, the Committee on the Registration of Insurances Bill. Their Lordships then adjourned, at a Quarter-pact Seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 2:3. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, Mr. AI SEUL in the Chair. On clause 1, Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE rose to move that the clause be postponed, until the House is in possession of a copy of the brief, rescript, or letters apostolical upon which the enactment in the said clause is founded. Whatever, he said, was tho difference existing among them on this question, it was allowed that they had now Obtained the Bill to which the Government had pledged themselves to abide. This, how. ever, was far from being the Bill which they had read a first and second time. There was a great deal of new matter, and particularly the first clause, which he was about to ask them to postpone. That clause made mention of the letter or rescript from the see of Rome, and he thought they ought to have this rescript before them before they consented to deprive many millions of their fellow-subjects of the.rights conferred upon them by the Emancipation Act. Ho had taken the liberty of asking the Noble Lord to produce this brief before, but he had been answered by being told that it was a matter of notoriety contained in every news paper. Were they, however, to legislate on news paper information? Supposing, for instance, a Bill had been brought in to banish M. Ms eztni and his companions merely on the ground of the article which had lately appeared in the Times newspaper respecting him, and which after all turned out to be a mere hoax. What would they say then to legislating on newspaper information ? He wanted to know, then, why these letters apostolical should not also prove a mere hoax.—(Laughter.) He denied, however, that this letter signed by Cardinal Lai ebruschini when produced would be found to confer any power or tales at all, it mentioned no man's name, and conferred no titles, and yet their Bill was to prevent the a.sumption of certain ecclesiastical titles. The rescript gave no titles, and therefore he thought the Noble Lord himself was bound to produce his authority for these titles ever having been conferred. Whenever a Railway or a Divorce Bill was introduced into that House, the parties were obliged to prove their preambles, and he would call now upon the Noble Lord to prove his preamble. The Solicitor-General had paid him a compliment the other night at the expense of the Honourable Member for Athlone, by saying that his demand for the rescript was cer tainly just the sort of question which a man of common sense would ask on the first clause being considered, but the Solicitor-General seemed the most useful man he bad met with for some time, and he congratulated the Government on their acquisition.—(" Hear, hear," from Lord John Russell.) The Noble Lord cheered that, and he supposed, then, the Solicitor-General was just the sort of man that they wanted. He had said, too, that he was perfectly -- (Cries ready utterly to demolish every argument which had been or could be brought against the Bill. would call of " Hear, hear.") Well, then, he thought the time was come for this demolition, and they upon the Solicitor-General neral to perform his promise. There certainly were not many lawyers on the other side, although when he saw the lion, and L earned Members fur Sheffield, Athlone, and Plymouth, he would find rather tough materials to deal with. The vv() seemed Attorney-General,however, had said but little about the Bill, and to do him justice Now, he asked, was it worth while going to care less. on with this Bill and wasting the time of the better proceed with the business of the"se; had they not country ?—(Hear.) He saw there were three or four amendments on the paper, but he knew that number in reserve, and there was d ou bl e better, under the would it not L• to make se ciscu mstauces, for the Nobl e L or d the Bill a present to the other side?—(A laugh.) hl),,epweans induEn.iot the , Noble L or d was pursuing phantorn ; naily becoming the advocate of principles which la,, is h eit ily her became him nor belonged to him. ill vas Would he still . persist in going on with the h not satistied with the bigotry which he had evoked, with the laurels which Oxford had pre pared for him, and with the commotion which he had created from one end of the kingdom to the other?—(Cheers.) If he was still not satisfied, and was determined to go on, all he asked him to do Ives at all events to furnish the House with a copy of the documents on which he pro ceeded,—(Bear, hear.) They were not only in- suiting the creed of our Roman Catholic subject sod degradin g th e pr i esthood, but proceeding on false principh s and in the dark.—(Hear, hear.) The SOLICIrOR-GENEii.AL said he was much obliged to the Honourable Member for his amusing speech, but while he gave him credit for los ready wit, and the many other qualities he possessed, he was sorry that, in the interval between Monday and Friday, his memory had so seriously failed him. Ile considered that no course would be more derogatory to the House than to take evidence that certain parties had assumed the title of archbishop and bishop !or pretended sees under the au thority purporting to be given by the Popo, after the circumstance, which have lately become so notorious. The Hon. Member had said there would be great diffi culty in indicting a person under the Act without producing the rescript of the Pope. Now, fur the satisfaction of those who thought the Bill ought to pass, he gave his opinion, as a lawyer, that it would be Effec tual, and that he had not the slightest doubt that, under it, any person who assumed such titles might be con victed without the production of thatdccument.—(Hear.) The Hon. Member also said the Noble Lord had taken a fatal step, that ho hart departed from those high prin ciples which distinguished the illustrious statesman who brought forward the Bill for Catholic Emancipation, but he (the Solicitor-General) would venture to state that not only the Noble Lord, but the party with whom he was connected, were the parties who distinguished themselves in endeavour ing to remove those restrictions which pressed on the Roman Catholics long before the period when that lamented statesman passed his Bill. (Cheers.) And it was because the principles of that Bill had been invaded by the gross arrogance of that man who dared again to attempt to raise what he called spiritual supremacy, but which was in fact an attempt to raise again the most despotic spi ritual control over toe human race —it was because be had endeavoured to violate the principles of civil and religious liberty, as iu the case of Sardinia and else where, and to exercise a spiritual tyranny over the peo ple, that he asked the House to give its hearty concur rence and assent to the Bill which he trusted would be passed. Mr. ROEBUCK said he would not follow the grandi loquence of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. It was his opinions that if there was any meaning in this first clause it was wholly useless, because before they could convict a man under this Bill it must be proved that the title assumed was taken under the au thority of the bull referred to in the Bill. Now how was that to be proved if the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Fiesbury were not adopted? It could not be done. Either this Bill was utterly useless, or so exten sive as to put an end to the Roman Catholic religion in Ireland. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there would be no necessity to adduce the proof which the Hon. and Learned Member referred to, and that was his answers, to the objections which had just been addressed to the Committee. Any offence to be committed against this Bill would come under the second clause, and all the would have to be proved was simply that the offender had assumed a title which the Bill prohibited, Now what were those prohibited titles? Why, simply, those that were named after the existing sees in cities of this country; and therefore no priest of the Roman Catholic Church would be precluded from adopting a title taken from a foreign see. Mr. ROEBUCK thought the Hon. and Learned At torney-General had proved his case, and that was no lets and no more thanithat the first clause of this Bill was wholly useless and unnecessary. Mr. WALPOLE wished to know if they were to dis cuss the merits of the clause or that of the Hon. Mem ber for Finsbury? For his part, he thought they ought to confine themselves, in the first instance, to the latter question. Ought the brief of the Pope to be produced? The Honourable Member for Finsbury founded his motion upon the circumstance that there was no evidence that any such brief had ever been received in this country. Now was that the way their ancestors proceeded on similar emergencies ? No, they did not require stri c t legal proof, which the Honourable Member demanded to-day, but they based their legislation upon what in the Saxon tongue was known as common clamour—(lronical cheers)—but which when translated into modern phraseology meant public notoriety. The receipt of the Pope's bull was too noforious to re quire iegal proof, and he therefore called upon the Com mittee to reject this proposition. Mr. KEOGH said the Solicitor-General had not been very complimentary to Hon. Gentlemen who had op posed the Bill, when he said that he heard no argument against it which had made an impression on his mind. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that what he had observed was, that he had nor heard any argument which had impressed itself on his mind as being in vincible. Mr. KEOGH was bound to accept the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's correction; but after the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had heard the speeches of the Right Hon. Member for Ripon (Sir J. Graham), of the Bight Hon. Member for Oxford University (Mr. Gladstone), and of the Hon. and Learned Member for Plymouth (Mr. R. Palmer), he yet said that he had heard nothing which had impressed his mind, adding the word invincible. At the same time he (Mr. Keogh) scarcely knew whether to at tribute it to invincible arrogance or invincible ignorance on the part of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. The fact was, that the Bill as it stood proceeded from that (the Conservative) side of the House; and as the Govern ment would not answer him when he asked if they would dare to put it into operation in Ireland, he could only infer that they were nicking use of their opponents in that House to pats the Bill, in order that they might be enabled thereby to retain office, and that when the Par liamentary difficulty was got over they meant to deceive them out of that House. Mr. REYNOLDS said that the Attorney-General,with his usual legal flippancy, attempted to get over the dif ficulty presented by this motion by saying that the Hon. Member for Finsbury had made an amusing speech, but that would not go down in that House; for the question that was submitted to them for decision as to a jury was, whether the clergy of ten millions of British sub jects were to be convicted upon false testimony or not. If a man was indicted for forging a bill would the pro secutor dare to appear in court without the forged do cument? The Noble Lord, however, did so in this in stance. The Honourable and Learned Member for Mid burst no doubt came to the rescue, and said the intro duction of the Papal brief was known by public cla mour. There had been enough of public clamour; ever since the Noble Lord had published his Papal edict in November there was nothing but clamour. But sup pose the Bill passed, did the Noble Lord think he would be at rest or that the public peace would be confirmed? He (Mr. Reynolds) believed not; indeed, he believed the troubles of the Noble Lord would have only com menced.—(Cries of " Divide.") He (Mr. Reynolds) would move to report progress if he was met with cla mour. In conclusion, he urged that as there was no evidence of the publication of the rescript in question— as even the most clamorous for the Bill could not swear to that fact, the measure, being one of pains and penal ties, should be postponed until the production of such evidence. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ... 49 Against it ••• ... 221 Majority ••• ••• —172 The CHAIRMAN then put the first clause to the Com mittee, on which, Sir F. THESIGER rose to move the amendment he had put upon the paper. After the observations which had been made on Monday night respecting this clau se , he anticip ate d t h at h e would rece i ve no opposition from the Government to that amendment. The clause as pro posed by the Government, coupled with the p reamble, said that a ce rt a i n rescr ipt brief, issued by the Pope on the efitla of September, 1850, was illegal; and the ob ject of his amendment was to make all s i m il ar rescripts or o btrriyefs previous iv the Pope and p u bli shed in this un to the passing o f t hi s Act to be c s i s o u u e s d by com prehended within the term of its enactment. He was certain L that the House would see —even those who opposed the measure could not fail to see, that such an addition was essential to making the measure complete; but, to make the matter plain, he would state in a few words what was his views as to the law affecting the question. He agreed in the opinion expressed by the law officers of the Crown on the somew subject hat , butdifferent he had cour arrived at th at conclusion by a se, and he would, there fore, state his reasons for coming to the conclusion he had done. In order to do that, the Acts of Parlia ment he would refer to aßni dev'h(ta' the eiddthbee repealing; S f eeew Actsdi n , t n h o u e f m F l b Bi First a l n ' ti d e y s e w e o e r n e d o o n f l y E i t i h z o a s b e e t o h f , and 8 which, clh:l6. for These e A t t c e r t s r e e l o l a o t i e d d a ti t o o n w o o f thedistinct s s t i u o b n j c he s o , l aigotery.of thTehevyowpee,reantdhotsheoswohaicphplrioe: would to fated to referthe jursiesdp re able to the introduction of the bulls into this country. e first was regulated by the Act of Elizabeth, and it was curious that during the whole of the discussion on this question, the most important section of one of these statutes (the first of Elizabeth), the 16th section, had nalotoig.oertet yjoc b een i o e v , erlooked. That secti on enac t e d th a t spiritual or temporal, could use or en joy any power, jurisdiction, pre-eminence, spiritual or ecclesiastical within this realm, or within any other of the dominions of the Sovereign, and that all such were hauceforth abolished out of the realm. Now, there could be no doubt if, in the face of that section of the Act, any subjects of the realm had attempted to exercise such jurisdiction or power, they would have been indicted as for a misdemeanor, and punished with fine and impri sonment. But the Le g i s l a t ure did not leave the matter in any doubt, for the punishment attached to such transgession of the law was provided for by the 27th to the 30th sections of the Act in clusive, and was, for the first offence, forfeiture of goods and chattels; for the second offence, the punish ment of preetnunire; and for the third offence, the party so transgressing, was declared to be guilty of high trea son. The Act of the 6th and 7th Victoria, passed in 1844, repealed the third and second of these Punish ments, and the 9;h and 10th Victoria, passed in 1846, took away so much of the punishment of the first offence as forfeiture of goods and chattels, but still left the offence punishable as a misdemeanour. Now, though it might be said that the punishment bring taken awe ye the tfiicacy of that 16th section of the Act was taken away a l so , yet the Acts passed in 1844 and 1 846, only referring to tee punishment clauses of the Act of Elizabeth, the 16th section of the Act still remained the same, and un if eny one transgressed that repealed; and undoubtedly section, he would be liable to be punished for a misde meanour. Then, again, us to the introduction of bulls into this country by the P ope of Rome, that was pro vided against by the statute o f t h e 16th Richard commonly called tne statute of plsernurite, which enacted that if any person or persons issued, published, or printed, or caused to be printed, any bulls, rescripts, or other writings, Which interfered with, or called in question the IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, May 23. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Wool sack at Five o'clock. REGISTRATION OF ASSURANCES BILL. When th,. p,allery was opened we found the LORD CHANCELLOR presenting a petition against the Bill for the registration of assurances of land. In doing so his Lordship expressed his disapprobation of certain provisions of this Bill. L9rd CAMPBELL was surprised at the opposition offered to this Bill, which was founded *upon the reports of the Commissioners on Roal;Preperty, and which had baen considered in Select Committee, and which he be lieved had in principle the support of the great majority of their Lqrcl6l - iip,4. _ _ • The Earl oF f E - PERK-TAX was opposed to the Bill. It was most urgent that the landed proprietors of the country snould be called upon to register their title-deeds and their moitgages. It would cast a great expense on them, and would be most unjust. I; was not the county attorneys alone, it was the great body of the landed pro prietors who were opposed to this measure of general registration of title-deeds. They would require a build ing as large us the Crystal Palace to hold all these registers._ Lord BEAUMONT thought th 3 course adopted by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack was scarcely fair. The report on which the Bill was founded was pre sented to that House last year, and was referred to a se lect Committee, on which the Noble and Learned Lord sat. His only objection wax to an index of maps that was overruled. The Committee then went into Com mittee, when the Noble and Learned Lord had an ''shop 0 r (3 , Ve rnn Zls bish such E th e B. to w lac tl ref( 't tail 1 b y t Gen the 3 her the ih t, I , ,olle n (leg a l It were !ee as i 1 ,°4 cf t wou ha ate i ,Seem itlem l Lug th dnod ?t ug uld int liat, a s Ned a
