After a few observations from Sir H. VERNEY, Mr. BROTHERTON, Mr. HUME, Sir R. H. INGLIS, and Mr. GYACH, Mr. COBDEN said that after the sentiments he had heard expressed he should not feel justified in pressing the motion to a division. He withdrew it, therefore, for the session, in the hope that the Noble Lord would make the resolution the actual basis of his policy. Viscount PALMERSTON repeated his concurrence in the principle of the motion, though objecting to the particular method, and declining to fetter in any respect the discretion of the Government. The motion was then by leave withdrawn. i The St. Albans Bribery Commission Bill has passed through Committee without mutilation. From the stringent investigation that must in all human probability take place, not only into the proceedings at the recent election, but at all previous contests where similar practices were indulged in, we antici pate the most beneficial results. It is high time that the law and practice relating to bribery and corrup tion at Parliamentary electiona should be placed on a clear and satisfactory footing, so that those who are really guilty may be subjected to the punish ment they so justly merit for their gross con tempt of the privileges of Parliament, while those whose conduct is undeserving of censure may not suffer either by being exposed to enormous pecu niary outlay, or by being unseated, and their cha racters injured on account of transactions with which they were wholly unconnected. It is a matter of perfect notoriety, that not at St. Albans only, but at many other boroughs returning representatives, the constituencies are utterly venal, and that the result will depend more upon the weight of the purses of the respective can didates than upon their political feelings or qualifications for the important duties that will devolve upon them, if successful. Matters are now so adroitly managed, that it is only on few oc casions a guilty knowledge can be brought home to the principal parties, while on the other hand, where a defeat is unavoidable, the minority can so arrange it, through the intervention of a "Man of the Moon," or some other sprite of a similar character, that a perfectly innocent person can be not only de prived of his seat, but disqualified from representing the same constituency until after the next dissolution. These are both untoward events, although the latter is by far the most serious of the two. In the first, a guilty person escapes with impunity, a constituency is demoralized, and the representative branch of the Legislature is, to a certain extent, injured in the estimation of the community ; but, in the second, an innocent gentleman, who has taken every possible precaution to prevent anything contrary either to the Parliamentary or common law of the land, who has in his favour a majority so de cisive and overwhelming that it would be an act of insanity to resort to any practices that could by any possibility endanger his certain return, is subjected to unmerited reproach, and the law has failed in the very purpose for which it was en acted—the protection of the guiltless. We need scarcely say that we have looked to the grievous injury most undeservedly inflicted on Mr. F. CALVERT, Q.C., as the illustration of the second part of our argument. The first is net directed to any particular individual—if any one should think the cap fits, he is at perfect liberty to appropriate it for his own use. The proposed inquiry will doubtless prove what we have long since asserted, that the existing state of the law is not only utterly inefficient, but po sitively mischievous. If it can be shown that a constituency is habitually and irremediably cor rupt, measures should be at once taken for its disfranchisement. But we should also adopt pre cautionary steps to prevent the strong temptations to which many of the electors are now exposed, and this can only be done by subjecting the candidates to the tests against bribery, to which voters only are now exposed. If each candidate, and perhaps it might be no harm to add, his accredited agents, were bound to take a solemn obligation that they would not, directly or in directly, pay any sum of money for the pur pose of influencing any vote, or make any allowance for expenses, the objects of which were not fully explained, and of a perfectly legal character, the system of bribery and corrup tion that now unfortunately prevails would be com pletely knocked on the head. But anything less than that will be utterly useless. A single de linquent may be captured ; prisoner sen t to New ate an occasio na l of th e ma y exhibit the po wer House of Co mmons i n a strong light, but he will serve as a b eacon to warn others from falling in to similar m i stakes salutar y , rather th an as a that caution to av o id suc h courses. We trust the investigation about to be i ns ti tuted may turn fore the Lettislature into the r ight , we feel g direction, an d , there and fairly really anxious that it s h ould be fully carried out in the spi r it i n which it was conceived, and that beneficial e ff ects not h ing should occur to mar the which it is calculated to produce. I Lllygl°4bnl Vihe share liertil :et e r ' h t.heitrhevireiwgaht NatioinnaelreEducation is one that must The question of dispose t o o d f necessarily occupy kii attention until it h increasi n g Much earnestness has already b eeu r t l l 7 . sion by the two societies at who, con other fiicting thong . are yet working in path, some respects, toh t f h .e e d P i u sc bl us i! gether in the end. If their real and .. ~ ' and muse come to ut reference ob ject be the education of the people, without party or to the ascendancy of this, that, or the sect, whether political or religious, we can anticipate no other issue than an ultimate cordial co-operation and powerful united action of the two societies. The cause of popular education is assuredly a great one, and second in importance to no other that can be named at this time of day. The most thoughtful men now begin to regard With apprehension and alarm the fact of a large mass of our population being allowed to grow up to ma ture years without the means of ordinary elementary instruction, withd • min s untaught, and abandoned to all the • passing impressions of the senses, unable to read or to comprehend the laws which they are re quired to obey, and reaping as little advantage from the civilization amid which they • live as if they were natives of Kamtschatka or Terra del Fue go. Yet these gi lower classes" of ours are a noble race of men, equal to any on the earth's surfs ce. Would you We proof of what the Ada of their hands can do look at the World's Exhibi tion, where they stand unrivalled as artisans and mechanics. Furnish them with facilities for in tellectual culture which, as industrial members of a great and wealthy community, they are entitled to have, and we shall find them, as men and citizens, equal to any other in the world. Notwithstanding all that benevolent individuals in this country have done for the education of the poorer classes, the deficiency in the means of ele mentary instruction is now generally admitted. There are large numbers of agricultural parishes in the southern counties without a single school, and where the bulk of the population can neither read nor write ; where schools, even if built by galvanic effort, can scarcely be kept supplied with teachers and the re quisite school apparatus, for want of money ; the landed proprietors being absent, and refusing for the most part to contribute towards the maintenance of the schools. This is the general complaint of her MAJES resjlnspictors of Schools in their annual reports, just published : they allege that "the schools are starving for want of funds"—that the means of paying good teachers and a sufficient number of them, cannot be got—and hence they are unanimous in recommend ing that a public provision for education be obtained through means of a local rate. The landlords may at present refuse to contribute towards the educa tion of the children of the labourers on their estates ; but the land is there; " property has its duties as well as its rights," and it can be assessed ;to prevent star vation of the mind as well as starvation of the body. Here,' then, is a point of general concurrence of opi nion between her MAJESTY'S Inspectors of Education and the two Educational Societies of Manchester; and their arrival at this point marks an important stage of progress in the educational movement. The point of divergence is this—that one section of the educationists insists on religious instruction being imparted in the schools together with the school in struction, and the other insists on the schoolmaster being confined to his proper mission of imparting school instruction only. New, with every regard to the importance of early religious instruction, we have great doubts as to the propriety or the necessity of converting schoolmasters into priests, and devolv ing upon them the duty which more especially belongs to parents and religious teachers. Surely, the Church of England, which is the most splendidly appointed as regards wealth of any State Church in the world, ought to be slow thus to confess its incompetency to religiously educate the children of the community. But we are disposed to maintain that in undertaking to impart creeds, the national schoolmaster would be departing from his proper business. What creed is he to teach ? " The Articles of the Church," says the Churchman. But we cannot forget that there are ,Independents, Methodists, Roman Catholics, and Separatists of all kinds in nearly every parish of England, as well as Churchmen ; and if you give one creed the preference in the schools, they do not fulfil the requirements of public or national schools, but are only the schools of a religious sect. Mr. DENISON and his followers go further, and in sist that the schools shall be placed under the exclu sive control of the clergy of the Established Church. This is only the same notion expanded into intolerancy. It is born in Jesuitism, and is worthy of its origin. The Jesuits were the first to insist on all education whatsoever being conducted and governed by priests; and our modern clergy, in insisting on the inseparability of school in struction from creeds and articles of faith, are only following in the footsteps of these wily despots. What connexion there is between learning to write and forms of faith, between geography and creed, be tween arithmetic and any point of divinity, we cannot perceive, any more than we can detect a necessary connexion between these subjects and shoemaking, weaving, or typefounding. There are few, we believe, now-a-days, who will join Sir ROBERT Immo in deprecating all mere intellectual knowledge as "an unmixed evil " Reli gious men knew that the greatest of all present obstacles to the religious improvement of the people, is ignorance, which is, in fact, anything but the " mother of devotion." It is this which hinders the usefulness of Sabbath schools, and renders them com paratively inefficient in improving the moral and re ligious character of the community; and it is this which stands in the way of all religious teachers what soever ; for what impression can they make on men who have not learnt the meaning of words, and grow up to mature years unable to apprehend any ideas beyond those associated with their merely animal wants ? While a large preponderance of such public opinion as exists in reference to the education movement is unquestionably on the side of an efficient public provision being made for its support, there is also a not inconsiderable nor uninfluential portion of Dis senters who are in favour of leaving matters as they are, and to the operation of the voluntary principle. They would let the rich men of property, who are unwilling to subscribe towards the education of their pauper peasantry, escape free, and saddle the burden of educating the nation on the willing and the liberal, who are yet, we fear, only in a small minority, and are not the richest class. Even if we take the most energetic and wealthy of the voluntary educationists themselves, we do not find that their efforts warrant us in inferring that the destitute and uneducated poor will ever be educated on the volun tary principle only. The Rev. Mr. BORDER, of Bristol, stated at the recent meeting of the Congre gational Union, that the Independents of England contributed "less than a farthing annually per mem ber" towards the funds of the Congregational Board of Education. And it appears from the last report of the Voluntary School Association that the entire aid granted by that body to the necessitous schools in Eng land during the whole year bad amounted to only 84Z., and the number of pupil-teachers taught by the association at the date of their last report was only six. With about half the adult population of England unable to read and write, and nearly one half of the children of school age not attending day schools, we must confess that these feeble efforts of voluntaryism do not inspire us with great confidence in its power to meet the existing educational neces sities of our country. We believe, however, that an increasing number of Dissenters contemplate with interest the Manches • ter movement in favour of public schools, so ably headed by Mr. COBDEN; and, provided a system of national education could be devised, which should not in any way trench upon religious liberty or the rights of conscience, we do not entertain a doubt that it would be hailed by them as a boon of Mer timable value to the nation. AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, MlDNisaiT.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The conclusion of the sitting of the Assembly on Monday was taken up with interfellations brought forwarded by M. LARABIT, relative to an assertion made in the notes which M. CARLI3B had confided to M. FORCADE, but which this later gentleman had published, to the effect that a representative of the people had obtained a situation inder the Govern ment for a protégé on condition o' sharing with him the emoluments of the place. Tie Members of the Left proposed a Parliamentary inquiry into the facts of the case; but, after some discussion, the Assembly adopted the order of the day, pure and simple, by 335 votes to 306. All the journals of every shale, save and except the organs of the Elys6e censure the Assembly for refusing to institute the inquiry demanded, and quote the notorious Teste case as a ca* in point. M. BOUIIIER DE L'Eceuse as presented to the National Assembly the following proposition relative to the revision of the Constituticn:— " On the second Sunday in May, 1852, all the electors of France, assembled in their respective electoral col leges, shall be called on to proceed by universal suffrage, such as existed before the law of Nay 31, in the manner and according to the mode then followed:-1. To the nomination, in execution and according to the terms of Article 45 of the Constitution, of a provisional P res id ent of the Republic. 2. T o the nombation of a new Con stituent Assembly, invested with the special mandate of the people, and with full powers to proceed to the total revision of the Constitution of 1848, and to declare the government of France." A proposition has been presented to the Assembly for a repeal of the duty on colonial rum. The Pays has an eloquent article from the pen of M. de Lamartine, on the recem discussions in the Assembly on the subject of thepassive obedience of the army. The following is an ixtract:— " We have been profoundly aflicted by what passed in the two last sittings of the Assembly on the subject of the National Guard, and especially by the doctrines propounded by ono speaker, M. Irnaud (de l'Ariage). The doctrines of M. Arnaud on be obedience of armed bodies would tend to nothing less thin the overthrow of all law, all subordination, all sovereignty of the majority, all society. The following dilemma well prove this:—Either the army is below the law, or the array is above the law. If the army is subject to the law, it bust be obedient to it; and if the army disobeys the law, there is no longer any law at all; the army itself becomrs the law, for it is the supreme power. The discretionary disobedience of the army would, therefore, be only the sovereignty of force. Bat to speak truly, there are mysteries at the beginning and end of all these discussions trenchieg on the metaphysical basis of human societies. These mysteries can never be fathomed without danger, for tie human mind meets there with certain problems whici reason is powerless to solve, and which never can be soled, except as the exist ence of God himself is solved—by van's faith. The wisdom of legislators, and especially ofsolders, consists in avoiding such problems and trusting to common sense. The plain common sense of the nation is Letter able to deal with such matters than the mistaken metaphysics of M. Ar naud and the systematic insubordination of M. Charras. What says the common sense ce the people? It says, No doubt there are extraordinary moments and extreme cases, against which no law cat provide, in which the soldier may, by an exceptiot as unusual as great crimes and earthquakes, find hmself called upon to de cide whether he shall obey his conscience or the orders of his superior. Are the rules ot these monstrous ex ceptions to the ordinary cotrse of things to be the standard for his conduct? Certainly not, for that would produce the very svil to be avoided.' Thus, Charles IX. commanded the Viscount d'Orthez, and M. de Lagsiche, commaneant of Macon, to slay all the Protestants in their pro vinces on a certain night. Subordination said: ' Kill!' Conscience said: Offer your own head rather than imbrue your hands in the :nnocent blood of your brethren.' They offered their beads : do you condemn them? Perlenps you do; but God absolves, and posterity honours them ! Again, Bonaparte ordered members of a military commission to go to Vincennes in the night, and there condemn to death and execute a young man, the Duke of Enghien' illegally arrested on neutral groun d. Did they ob e y? Yes, they did. The crime commanded was legally accomplished by their votes and executed by their hands. Are they innocent? According to discip line, no doubt, they are; but before their conscience and posterity they are not. Who then can fathom this abyss? God alone! Who, in cases like these, can decide as to the right or wrong of disobedience There are only two judges: man by his conscience, and God in heaven. But of these two judges one is invisible, and does not decide till we have passed away; the other is visible, but de cides only by an illogical and unanswerable tact, namely, a revolution. Who will dare to face either of these judges? No moral and reasonable being; and for that reason there has been written down in all languages, and, as long as society exists, there will continue to be written down, on the title page of all our military codes, the mysterious words—PASSIVE OBEDIENCE OF TRE ARMY."

The Augsburg Gazette publishes the text of the speech of the Prince DE SCIIWARTZENDERG on closing the conferences at Dresden, but it adds little to what was already known. Tne Prince stated that several material points had been agreed upon in the conferences, and he had reason to hope that the other points would be decided by the Diet of Frankfort to the satisfactio❑ of all parties. The Breslau Gazette states that the demands of Denmark as regards the Duchies of Schleswig-Hol stein have found favour with the Emperor of RUSSIA, and that Austria has consented to them on the condi tion that Denmark shall enter into the Germanic Confederation with all her states.

" The Danish General," says the French Press of Hamburgh of J une 12, " appears to persist in his resolution of putting the Holstein contingent under the command of Danish officers, and it is thought that when M. Reedtz returns from Warsaw the contingent will be organized on that plan. The Danish Government wishes the Austrian and Prussian troops to evacuate the fortress of Rendsburg. It is believed that Germany would consent to this if the Danish Go vernment would agree to put garrisons of Hol steiners in Rendsburgh and Kiel. But Den mark i 3 averse to separating the Holstein troops (with the excPption of the contingent) from the rest of the Danish army, and insists on putting what garrison she pleases in those places. She also wishes to break off the negotiations with the Commissioners at Kiel, and continue them at Frankfort. It would appear that the Germanic Confederation has replied that under the circum stances they cannot withdraw the federal troops from Rendsburg, nor break off the negotiations at Kiel, as the troops and commissioners were sent to remain there till the affair was definitively settled." RUSSIA. The National Gazette of Berlin has the following from Bukowine :—" A new ukase of the Emperor of Russia for recruitin g in all the Empire, has just been promulgated; and as it follows close on a recent very considerable levy, it appears to have a considerable importance. It must be added that it is desired to prepare the army for all the fatigues of a war. Orders have been given to send all the troops encamped on the frontier into the interior, and to re place them by troops from the interior. The regi ments which have served in the Caucasus, and which are considered the best in the army, are to be chosen to proceed to the frontier." :1 TU The Trieste Gazette RKEY.publishes a letter of th 9th from Alepp o , which states that Father Bas e ile, a Capucin monk, had been strangled at Aleppo, at the foot of the altar, where he was officiating. This murder is said to have produced a great sensation in that city. M. de Lesseps, the French Consul, had given orders for the most rigorous search to be made to discover the perpetrators of it. In the sitting of ITALY. the 13th of the Chamber of De puties at Turin the Minister of Finance took an op portunity of weakening the effect of the last vote of the Chamber on the Nice question, by declaring that, although the article enacting the revision of the Cus toms' tariff had been deprived of its stringent cha racter, he telt it his duty to assure the inhabitants of Nice from the tribune that the Government con sidered itself morally bound to execute the provisions of that article, and that the revision of the tariff must ' necessarily precede the abolition of the free port. The Minister added that he undertook the personal obliga tion of promoting that revision, even as a deputy, should he happen not to be a member of the Cabinet at the time. The Croce di Savoia of Turin quotes letters from Sicily, stating that all the forts and fortresses of the island are being put in A state of defence. Railways.

The sales of C o tt on at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,0(10 bales of which 600 American were taken for export, and 1,200 on speculation. The market continued to have an upward tendency, and is ill supplied. American is 11 / B d. to 1 ,4 d., and Surat %d. per lb.higher.— Railway Shares were dull at lower prices. The Colonial Markets have opened dull this week, except for Sugar, and there are very full supplies. There are arrivals from Australia, the Cape, and other parts, with letters and papers, but they do not contain any later news. The want of steam communication with the southern colonies is daily more felt, as front nearly every part of the world we may now calculate upon receiving advices of recent date at stated intervals; whereas from Australia the direct intelligence is unfrequent, disjointed, and often anticipated via India. [ 1 334 A mercantile firm in Hamilton (Canada) has received a 114 X letter from Boston, dated the Bth instant, containing the fol lowing:— , "We have the pleasure of informing you that the certifi [s3 cate of October last, by which the amount of duties was re- Say‘ quired to be deposited at the Custom-house, has been re peated. Goods for British provinces can now be passed through the United States in the former way, by signing bonds."

There, the sales of Stock and Shares have tem porarily absorbed a good proportion of the floating assets of the jobbers, and until the tide turns a little, and buyers ap pear, we may not have a decided alteration. That there is any real scarcity of money it is impossible to con ceive, when we find specie pouring in up on us, and although the r e are exports of the precious metals to the continent, and the foreign exchanges are slightly against us, this is not sufficient to balance our re ceipts of bulth , n. The close of the financial quarter is ordi narily a period when some little pressure is felt, but there appears to be no ground for believing that cash will not be more than ever abundant when the July dividends are paid. The English Funds are still heavy, and the sellers profess to be influenced by the uncertainty that prevails in regard to the election of Louis Napoleon, and the course he will take if the Assembly should not, by an adequate majority, decide for a revision of the Constitution.

Mr. ROEBUCK preserved a petition from Sheffield, praying for the abolition of newspaper duties. THE TRUCK SYSTEM. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE put the following question to the Secretary o f S tate for the Home Department:—lf he had taken any an d what steps, in consequence of a memorial that had been forwarded to him by workmen employed in the mini ng di strict of South Staffordshire, complain ing of the p reva l ence of truck in that district, and that one of the firms deeply engaged in this illegal tra ffi c to that of Messrs. Di xon and Hill, one of which firm, Henry Hill, being a j us ti ce o f the peace, not only sits and acts I Petty Se ss i ons , b ut i s Assistant Chairman of Quarte r Sessions, whereby the difficulty of the mem orialists to obtain justice an d to en f orce the law is materially Id creased ? Sir G. GREY said that he had drawn the attentioi! of Mr. Hill to the facts stated in the memorial allude' to, and he had received information from that g entlemen! that though h e h a d f ormerly a share in the colliery, . had never taken any part in the management of it, and at the p resent time he had no interest in any collieries Grey) ors works in: S outh Staffordshire. He (Sir George was, however, sorry to say that the truck system pre vailed in South Staffordshire to a great extent, but he had written to Mr. Hill desiring him to exert his influenc e in order to discourage it as much as possible. LORD ASHLEY. Sir R. H. INGLIS, in moving for a new writ for the city of Bath in place of Lord Ashley, called u p to the Effuse of Peers, entered int o a lengthy eulogium of the services of Lord Ashley in the service of Christianity and philanthropy. Mr. BRuTHERTON and Si r G. G REY concurre d in th e praises which had been bestowed on Lord Ashley. SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Several petitions were presented against this Bill from the metropolitan boroughs. The adjourn e d d e b ate on the motion for going into Committee on this Bill was resumed. Mr. W. WILLIAMS complained that th e objectLe f Hon. G ent l emen opposed to this Bill was to defeat it by procrastination. Mr. ROEBUCK thought the whole was nothing better than so much waste paper. He proceeded to canvass th e provisions o f t h e Bill, with a view of showing that it was impossible to carry such a Bill into execution. He thought there was not the slightest necessity for e Bill, and h e appealed to the House whether, if there were any necessity, this Bill was one which would supply the deficiency. Mr. SPOONER urged the Hon. Member for Lambeth to withdraw the Bill. He himself was favourable to the principle, but there were reauy provisions in it wh ich were highly objectionable. Sir W. CLAY supported the Bill, because he felt con fident that it was the expiessien of opinion of some of the best persons in the metropolitan, districts an d that it would te n d materially to raise the condition of the working classes. Mr. W. J. FOX said that his objection to the Bill was that it had no principle whatever. It was not formed on the Sabbatical principle, the object of whic h would have been to prevent all manner of work and not trade merely, and on the other hand it only aimed at se .. curing a day o f rest f or the shopkeeper and apple stall keepers. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR supported the prin.' ciple of the Bill, but recommended that it should be withdrawn for the present year. (LEFT SITTING.) A SINGULAR THEATRE IN PARIS. A singular edifice has silently sprung up in one of the least frequented streets of Paris. It is a larg e theatre, externally in the lonic style, capable of contain ing 3.000 persons. The portion of the house intended for the public is a large elliptical vaulted hall, 126 feel by 66 in surface, and about 55 in altitude, with a ground floor, gallery, and two upper ones for spectators. The stage, situated in a semi -circular recess at the extre mity of the transverse axis, encroaches upon the PI in a circular curve, so that the whole stage may be said to form a circle. The orchestra, instead of being placed between the spectators and the actors, is situated in the upper portion of the recess aforesaid, and is in visible to the public, though visible to the director of the band, who is seated in front of the stage, where the prompter generally sits. Besides this band, a second one, equally invisible to the public, may occupy a circular gallery surmounting the lustre, accessible by a winding staircase descending between iron bars from the vaulted ceiling of the house in the boldest way imaginable. This second orchestra is calculated to produce singular ac caustic effects, hitherto unknown to the musical and theatrical world. We were present when an experiment was made by an eminent singer, who warbled some of his finest notes at the top of the gallery; and although, at express desire, he sang in r a th er a su b dued tone, the effect produced was far superior to what can be obtained with much greater efibrt in the ordinary theatres. The stage is raised 6 feet above the pit; the space allotted to the representation is 30 feet broad and 48 feet deep' But the most singular part of M. BarthelZ:my's contri vances consists in his curtains and back scenes, which, owing to the form adopted for the stage, are curvilineal also; notwithstanding which, by means of cylinders of a peculiar construction, they are made to rise or drop al if they were flat. He has, moreover, introduced trans parent as well as opaque scenes, so that extraordinary effects of perspective and distance are produced by different strata of gauze intercepting the view. Vertical as well as horizontal cylinders are used; and the powerful illusions created by the si multaneous rolling and unrolling of partly opaque and partly transparent scenery leave those of ordinary theatres far behind. These contrivances have, of course, called for important modifications in the system of lighting both the house and the stage. There are no foot-lights, and the whole space is illuminated from above by an ingenious combination of reflectors. The house is, besides, so constructed that theatrical repre sentations may be given by the sole aid of day-light, transmitted through panes of coloured glass. The foyer is a large room under ground, occupying the whole room of the pit and stage. It is to be well lighted, and deco rated with flowers and comfortable seats.—Galignani's Messenger.

THE SUN, The Commons met at Twelve. Messrs. CUNNINGHAM and STRUTT, who had committed a breach of privilege by improperly affixing a signature to the Aylesbury Election petition, were brought to the bar in custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms, reprimanded by the SPEAKER, and ordered to be discharged on payment of the fees. The St. Albans Bribery Commission Bill and the Prevention of Offences Bill passed through Committee, and the House adjourned. The House re-assembled at Five o'clock. Mr. SPOONER moved that HENRY EDWARDS be brought to the bar on Wednesday, and discharged. The motion was opposed by the ATTORNEY. GENERAL, and negatived by 133 to 4. Mr. BASS moved that half the malt-tax be repealed from the 10th October, 1852. Mr. CAMPBELL opposed the motion.

Mr. COBDEN moved that an humble address be pre sented to her MAJESTY, praying that she will direct the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to enter into communication with the Government of France, and en deavor to prevent in future that rivalry in warlike preparations in time of peace which has hitherto been the policy of the two Governments, and to promote, if possible, a mutual reduction of armaments.

How ever he might differ from the Hon. Mover as to the me thod to be pursued in order to arrive at the ends desired, he gave his Hon. Friend full credit for the soundness of the views and principles he advocated. The world had not yet arrived at that pitch of civilization at which a country might rely on the forbearance of its neighbours. The objection he took to the motion was, that the Hon. Member aimed too much at divesting this country of its means of defence without waiting until others had placed themselves in a similar position. Mr. ROEBUCK appealed to the House in the name of social progress to adopt the motion. Mr. GIBSON regarded every armament excessive in the least degree beyond what was necessary for defensive purposes as both an utter waste and an unmitigated mora evil. all all all 100 all 84 83. 6334 1% 2$ MARKET NhWS.--(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE -WEDNESDAY The supply of English Wheat on sale in to -day's market was very limited, but of full average quality. Although the attendance of buyers was very moderate the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday, and a good clearance was effected. From abroad 6,420 quarters of Wheat have come fresh to hand this week. On the whole, the trade was firm, and some of the importers refus e d to se l l, except on higher terms. No English Barley at market; and the quantity of foreign was trifling. The few parcels offering changed hands at extreme currencies. We had a vary moderate inquiry for Malt; nevertheless, the quotations were well supported. Oats moved off slowly, and good sound Corn was the turn dearer. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour maintained previous quotations. tHICIVALS TIIIh WEEK. Wheat. Barley. I Malt. Oats. Flour, Qrs. cljl. I Sacks 1,420 720 410 10,820 1 3,980 Qrs. I Qrs.
